McCoy pottery was made in Roseville, Ohio. Nelson McCoy and J.W. McCoy established the Nelson McCoy Sanitary and Stoneware Company in Roseville, Ohio, in 1910. The firm made art pottery after 1926. In 1933 it became the Nelson McCoy Pottery Company. Pieces marked McCoy were made by the Nelson McCoy Pottery Company. Cookie jars were made from about 1940 until December 1990, when the McCoy factory closed. Designer Accents marketed McCoy pottery under the name Nelson McCoy Ceramics until the company closed in 1990. Since 1991 pottery with the McCoy mark has been made by firms unrelated to the original company. Because there was a company named Brush-McCoy, there is great confusion between Brush and Nelson McCoy pieces. See Brush category for more information.

Well-known hammered dulcimer player Wes Linenkugel will perform with his quartet at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Fayette Opera House.
Linenkugel is joined by fiddler Mike Gleason, guitarist Bob Schramm and bassist Jack Lewis.
The quartet plays what is most commonly referred to as "Olde Tyme Music"—a type of folk music that encompasses fiddle tunes, waltzes, jigs, reels, Gospel tunes, and other folk styles.
"We are an acoustic group, primarily instrumental (no one would pay us to sing!) and we play what I would call 'high energy music,'" Linenkugel said. "Whether the tune we're playing is a lightning fast reel or a slow, lilting waltz, we approach all our music with the same high energy. We like to involve ourselves in the music and we love to play for our audiences."
The quartet often brings in other instruments—trumpet, saxophone, celesta, bouzouki and others—and plays in other musical styles including jazz and ragtime. Questions from the audience are encouraged in the group's informal style.
Linenkugel has recorded 11 albums and has performed at venues ranging from the Ohio and Indiana State Fairs to Greenfield Village and Renfro Valley. He has a collection of awards from various competitions.
He began playing the hammered dulcimer in 1978 on an instrument that his father built.
Tickets cost $10 per person, with a $2 discount for senior citizens. Groups of 10 or more people may obtain tickets for $6 each. Call 419/237-3111 to reserve tickets. Light refreshments will follow the program.

What pens or pencils do you use when writing in your Moleskine?
I have a variety of pens that I use but the ink is almost always the
same. Pilot G2 .7mm archival ink. You can pick up Pilot G2 pens for
about $1 each. You can pick up a very nice Pilot Dr. Grip Gel at just
about any grocery or drug store. There really isn't a need for a big
fancy $20 to $50 pen, but there are some real nice ones out there.
I've spent more money than I want to admit on fancy pens by Rotring

a Pilot Dr. Grip Gel.
So, what type of pens, ink, or pencils does the rest of the Moleskine community use?

The Worcester State baseball team needed to win both ends of Saturday's doubleheader against Salem State to claim a share of the MASCAC regular-season title, so coach Dirk Baker went with his 1-2 pitching punch of Ben Libuda and Kris Doyle to get the job done.
Libuda, a junior left-hander from Auburn, allowed one run on six hits as the Lancers took Game 1, 6-1, while Doyle, a junior right-hander from Millbury, hurled his second straight shutout in Game 2, 9-0, as Worcester State earned a piece of its fifth MASCAC regular-season crown as well as the right to host this weekend's MASCAC Tournament, beginning Friday at Rockwood Park.
The Lancers (22-14) have won 10 of 11 as they head into the playoffs.
"Everything is coming together all at once," Doyle said. "Pitching, fielding, hitting, and we have great unity right now. (The tournament) is going to be exciting because everything is forming all at once."
Libuda and Doyle were Southern Worcester County League foes in high school, and their paths eventually led to them to become teammates in college.
Libuda attended Community College of Rhode Island for one year before transferring last spring to Worcester State. Doyle went to Franklin Pierce for a year and pitched one inning of relief for the Ravens as a freshman. He transferred to Worcester State in the fall of 2012, and resumed baseball this spring.
"It's pretty cool we're on the same team right now," Libuda said. "It's awesome to have Kris come to Worcester State. He was a great pitcher in high school, and he's getting back in the swing of things. I (pitch the first game of doubleheaders) and he competes so hard in the second game. He always tries to throw a better game than me, which is awesome."
Neither Libuda nor Doyle can recall being opposing starters in high school, but the Auburn-Millbury rivalry ran deep.
"We'd nod if we saw each other at football games," Doyle said, "but when it was time to play the game against them, we were big rivals. Now we're on the same team. It's different having a former rival on my team and we're pretty close."
Baker began throwing the 6-foot-7 Libuda and the 6-4 Doyle in tandem for the team's first conference doubleheader against MCLA on March 29. It was a winning combination that day, and has continued to be. Libuda is 4-2 with a 2.00 ERA (4-1, 2.25 in conference games) and Doyle is 5-3, 2.87 (4-1, 1.91).
"I usually feed off him," Doyle said. "Whatever he does, I try to go out and do better. It's really a friendly competition between us."
As a sophomore, Libuda appeared in nine games with five starts and went 4-1 with a 2.56 ERA. He rounded into form late in the year, pitching splendidly in relief in a first-round MASCAC tourney game against Bridgewater State. He retired 13 straight batters and helped the Lancers to an 8-7 win in 11 innings.
He has continued to improve his location and has thrown six complete games this year.
"I've come a long way," Libuda said. "I've gotten stronger, and I've become smarter on the mound and more mature. I'm starting to stay within myself and be smart."
The Lancers earned a first-round tourney bye and will face the winner of Thursday's game between Westfield State and Fitchburg State in a quarterfinal at 3 p.m. Friday.
"We try not to get ahead of ourselves," Libuda said. "When we go out there and just compete, we do really well as a team."
Cohen rights Clark ship
Jeff Cohen was around for the darker days of the Clark men's lacrosse program.
His senior year of 2002, the Cougars finished 0-11. The Clark team posted a losing record in each of its first 22 years of existence (1991-2012).
Cohen returned to his alma mater five years ago to take over as coach, and he has the Cougars moving in the right direction.
Clark finished the regular season with its first winning record (8-6) and qualified for the postseason, also a first. The Cougars will play at Springfield in a NEWMAC quarterfinal at 7 tonight.
"We're probably getting to the point where Clark University lacrosse should have always been," Cohen said. "Just based off the facilities, the academics — all the positives were there, yet the lacrosse program was never where it should have been. Now, we're righting the ship."
In Cohen's first four years as coach, the Cougars went 6-8, 6-8, 6-8 and 7-7 (their first non-losing campaign) and began this season 3-0. They went 3-3 against NEWMAC foes and concluded the regular season with a 22-10 thumping of Emerson.
"We knew from back in the fall, we had a good team," Cohen said, "the most talented and deepest team we ever had. We're very young, but we knew with senior leadership and talent and depth, we'd be competitive in the league this year, which is the first time it's ever happened."
Senior captains Sam Johnson, Zack Duffy and Jeffrey Wasson helped nurture the 40-man roster, half of which is freshmen, including Kyle Elkins of Stow and Rishi Singh of Sterling.
Freshman attack Nick Johnson, younger brother of assistant coach Chris Johnson (Clark, 2012) is the team's leading scorer with 29 goals and 22 assists.
"Our seniors are guys we brought in, and they've gone up the ranks in the same system," Cohen said. "That's definitely been helpful for those guys. We've been building momentum every year, we just hadn't been able to get over the hump of the playoffs or a better than .500 record until this year. We had a couple big wins throughout the year."
Before Clark, Cohen served as an assistant at Colgate, Western New England and MIT. In addition to Chris Johnson, Nick Figliola (Clark, '13) is a graduate assistant, and several other Clark alums also have been around to support and help the team.
"Coming back is pretty special," Cohen said. "I think we're all taking some pride in getting the program to where it already should have been."
Fossas a top stopper
Wake Forest redshirt sophomore Aaron Fossas of Dudley has been named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) watch list for Stopper of the Year award.
The award is given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division 1 baseball and has been presented annually since 2005.
Fossas, a former Holy Name star and nephew of former major league reliever Tony Fossas, is 4-1 with a 2.83 ERA in 23 appearances this season.
He has 10 saves, which is third in the ACC and tied for 10th nationally.

It is the typical example of Tuscan cuisine: great ingredients, simple cooking, right condiments to enhance and not to cover the taste of this cuisine which might seems basic but which is rich and refined inn the choice of raw materials and in cooking them in respect of their nature.
This particular dish, which is an absolute delight, is strictly connected to the building of the Brunelleschi's Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral in Florence,we speak of the early decades of the 1400s.
During the long works of the Dome the workers used to eat this dish. In the morning they put cuts of meat as beef muscle inside a jar with lots of pepper, cloves of garlic and red wine, and made it cook until lunchtime, then the peposo was pushed up on the scaffolding with winches eaten just there. The ingredients were few and simple, just marbled meat, which takes some time to be cooked but eventually turns out soft and juicy, black peppercorns and red wine.
It was cooked in the Tuscan terracotta jars of Impruneta, the same terracotta which gave birth to the famous tiles of the Dome of Brunelleschi.
So we can say a little thanks to this simple but amazing dish. He also contributed in a small way to the construction of our Cathedral.
The following is our recipe.
INGREDIENTS for 6 persons:
1 kg of Beef ( shoulder, chuck)
Half a litre of Chianti wine
5 cloves garlic with the skin
2-3 tomatoes
6 slices of homemade bread if you want
Salt and freshly ground pepper sage and rosemary
Cut the beef into small cubes. Combine in a pot with the garlic, the wine, a heaping tablespoon of ground pepper and the aromatic herbs. Add the tomato chunks to the pot. Cover and cook very slowly up to 2/3 hours if necessary until the meat is tender.

Gastonia police say holding landlords responsible for raucous residential rental properties continues to improve neighborhoods.
And they aren�t alone. Even landlords who initially questioned the new plan now feel it has potential.
�I have always believed if you�re going to raise a stink about something, you need to be willing to be part of the solution as well,� said Lamar Kellar, a Gastonia real estate agent. He is among the landlords who challenged the draft ordinance when it was unveiled a year ago, but then worked with city leaders to fine-tune and improve it.
Police previously had no way to hold residential rental property owners accountable for repeated problems. They have been most concerned with �disturbance� calls that often involve domestic disruption, noise complaints or assaults.
Homeowners who live near apartments or rentals where disturbances are common often complain that the disorder is harming their property values. Police say responding to repeated disturbance calls at the same addresses not only eats away at their time and resources, but also makes neighborhoods more unstable.
Progress report
The Residential Rental Property Remedial Action Program focuses on addresses where police have responded to at least seven disorder calls within 12 months. If an apartment or rental home falls into that category, police try to hold a meeting with property owners to determine why it�s happening. If necessary, they work with landlords on corrective steps that should be taken.
Landlords who refuse to work with police to address problems may eventually face fines or other court action, such as foreclosure, although authorities say that would be a last resort.
Gastonia Police Sgt. Doc Morton updated City Council members on the program�s status last week.
The city has nearly 16,000 rental properties. Based on disturbance calls that police responded to in 2012, 65 rental addresses had at least four disturbance calls. Police sent �courtesy letters� to each of those landlords to alert them they were in danger of exceeding the allowable limit, Morton said.
�That way it�s not an �I gotcha� situation,� he said.
Eighteen of the 65 rentals eventually exceeded the threshold. But 10 of those 18 landlords had already taken care of the problem � either by talking with their tenants or by evicting them � by the time police were ready to meet with them, Morton said.
�The idea is for them to come up with a plan to go out and talk to the tenant,� he said. �As for how they take care of the problem, we don�t really care. Most of them evict. But that�s between the landlord and the tenant.�
Program deemed a success
City leaders say the initiative is paying off in part because it�s opening lines of communication between police and landlords. Property owners are more aware of the expectation that they work with police to deal with tenants who are causing problems.
Landlords have begun taking the city�s ordinance and adding it to their lease agreements, Morton said.
�So that way, there�s no misunderstanding between the landlord and tenant about what�s expected,� he said.
City Council members have appointed five residents to serve on a Residential Rental Property Review Board. Kellar was nominated as chairman of that panel.
Landlords facing fines or other court action from the city will have the opportunity to appeal and have their case heard by the review board. But Kellar said based on the program�s track record so far, he doesn�t expect the board to meet very often, if at all.
�I think enough tweaks were made to respond to many of our concerns,� he said.
You can reach Michael Barrett at 704-869-1826 or twitter.com/GazetteMike.
What�s a disturbance call?
The Gastonia Police Department considers a �disturbance call� to be just that � a call that involves a public disturbance of some sort. The following reasons for calls are considered �disturbances� based on the Rental Property Remedial Action Program: armed robbery, assault, assault with a weapon, civil disturbance, drugs, gunshots, intoxicated person, litter, loud music, overdose, prostitutes, riot, shooting into an occupied building, shooting into an occupied vehicle, shooting, stolen property, suspicious subject, suspicious subject with a weapon, suspicious vehicle, trespassing.
This list, provided by the Gastonia Police Department, cites addresses that had the highest number of disturbance calls in 2012:
Address Total disturbance calls Result
316 S. Highland St. 16 Tenant was evicted
1208 Mountain Ave. 13 Eviction process has begun

A Monster Grows In Mint Hill
When a guy can make a living doing what he likes best, that's a good thing. When the same guy can start a business, then employ a bunch of folks to do what they like to do best, that's a real good thing. The pages of Custom Classic Trucks are filled with advertisers from all over the country that specialize in manufacturing and distributing products made to improve all phases of a classic truck's performance. Anytime the staff of CCT is out on the road attending classic truck events, we like to set aside a little extra time and pay a visit to some of the better-known manufacturers in the area and shoot a shop tour.
Last May, at the invitation of F-100 Supernationals promoter Pat Ford, it was suggested I fly a few days early into Charlotte, North Carolina, instead of directly to Knoxville, Tennessee, and take in some of the classic truck-related sights in the Charlotte area. The first stop had me touring the campus of Dennis Carpenter Reproductions (Custom Classic Trucks, August 2008) and then later in the day I was scheduled to tour with Brent VanDervort at his shop: Fatman Fabrications in Mint Hill, North Carolina, a Mayberry-style suburb of Charlotte.
It was a little after 1 p.m. when Brent rolled up to Dennis Carpenter's in one of his daily drivers-a fiberglass-bodied '34 Ford Tudor mounted on one of Fatman's production chassis. Brent's '34 is just plain cool. One ride in it and the next thing a guy knows, he wants to build one just like it (me included). Beyond the pure expediency of constructing the '34 in about a month's time, Brent proved for the umpteenth time that a Fatman chassis is capable of pulling down the long miles without a lot of constant tinkering. Shortly after Brent built the '34 with his Vintage IFS, he and a friend rolled out to Southern California for the L.A. Roadster show. By the time they had zigzagged their way back across the U.S., the little '34 had racked up nearly 10,000 trouble-free miles.
It was 1982 when Brent left his native state of New York and set out for North Carolina. By August 1, 1985 he had opened the doors to Fatman Fabrication's existing Mint Hill location. The early days saw Fatman Fabrication sharing a sole building that faced the highway. It wasn't too long before Brent's business of building affordable street rods and related parts grew to the point that he was in need of larger facilities. With the help of a local banker who proved to be a good friend, Brent was able to buy the six-acre site his original shop was on. One by one, additional shop buildings were constructed on the property as needed. Today, Fatman Fabrications is housed in four large buildings that consume over 22,000 square feet of floor space. Getting back to the subject of people being able to do what they like for a living brings us full circle to mentioning that Fatman Fabrication has employed up to 44 folks at one time. When I was there, Brent had 30 people working who've been with him for some time now.
Every moment I spent in Charlotte and Knoxville was really great, but I think my favorite time was when Brent and I hit the road from Charlotte to the Supernationals in Knoxville driving his custom '67 F-100 shop truck with Mike tagging along in the '34. More than just a pretty truck with a Fatman frontend under it, the '67 made the Knoxville run towing a tandem car trailer loaded with a rolling Fatman chassis (suited for a '53-56 F-100) like it wasn't there. When we arrived in Knoxville, Brent tossed me the keys for the '67 and I had three days to find out for myself firsthand that it didn't matter whether it was on the interstate in the pouring rain, or burning donuts off-road in the mud (just kidding about the last part), Fatman's IFS conversion for Ford Twin I-beams turns a "Slick" or a "Bumpside" into a modern truck.
In next month's "Classic Life" our Knoxville adventure will continue with a rain-soaked visit in Fatman's Bumpside to Lokar Performance Products.

Are You Giving Up on the News?
By Steve Mencher , March 19, 2013 05:22 PM
They were our heroes. Woodward and Bernstein brought down a president. The New York Times published "The Pentagon Papers" in the face of government resistance to revealing damaging truths. "Uncle" Walter Cronkite spoke for many Americans when he concluded that the Vietnam War was not winnable. Many in our generation saw the news media as a positive force in society, driving out secrecy and corruption with the "disinfecting" light of information.
Today, as a recent AARP poll shows, journalists have joined members of Congress and used-car salesmen in the category of folks that few people trust. And a new report from the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism dives deeply into some of the reasons that this is so, while it examines the demographics and economics of the news business today.
One key finding: consumers of news are becoming fed up with reductions in coverage, especially in the quality of that coverage. And that's true whether or not they are aware of the financial problems plaguing the news media, as it loses advertising and circulation dollars.
As many as a third of U.S. adults, according to the study, have abandoned a news outlet "because it no longer provides the news and information they had grown accustomed to receiving ... Fully 61 percent said they noticed that stories were less complete compared with 24 percent who said they noticed fewer stories overall." Interestingly, older readers are more likely to have abandoned their newspaper, magazine or TV broadcast (see chart at right).
As newspapers struggle, digital delivery of news and information is growing fast. According to the report, "about 43 percent of those aged 50 to 64 get some form of digital news ... compared with 60 percent of the younger age groups. What stands out more, when it comes to age, is the degree those under 30 are moving away from traditional delivery systems altogether."
You probably know why the network evening news seems inundated with commercials that solve real and imagined ills of old age. "The network evening news audience skews older than Americans overall," the report confirms. "The average age of a regular network evening news viewer is 53, while the median age of the U.S. population in 2010 was 37, according to the U.S. Census." These broadcasts have lost more than half their audience since 1980 - from more than 50 million to around 22 million. The good news is that these broadcasts still feature stories that present news gathered and curated by journalists, rather than the less expensive and less balanced presentation often found on cable networks, where opinion may replace fact.
As audiences abandon traditional outlets and flock to new ones, older men and women aren't substituting digital sources for traditional ones, they're adding to their news consumption via mobile devices. "It is traditionally the case that older adults are more avid news consumers than younger adults," the report explains. "So the older adults who have invested in a tablet or smartphone are even more likely to be news junkies who appreciate getting news on multiple platforms." And these older adults, at least in the short term, may be the prime audience who could support a rejuvenated news industry, if it can create innovative revenue models.
The report is full of insights and information impossible to summarize in a short blog post. If you're interested in the subject, dive in.
For lessons learned from the 2012 Presidential campaign, including the insight that most information voters received was spun by partisan voices, rather than written by journalists, watch the Pew video below.

You may be wondering where we have been? SUMMER CAMP 2014! This summer was an incredibly awesome summer of kids, music, laughter, art, heat, dance, food, drama, water games, and most importantly, Christ. Each and ever year, it is amazing to see the Lord provide staff and money to run another summer of UA camps. This 7th summer was no exception. We were able to run four camps with nearly 200 kids. The theme of camp was based on Ephesians 6:10-18 this summer. "SUIT UP". Put on your full armor and prepare for battle. As the campers rotated to their classes each day and at the end of each week they put on a stellar performance. For more pictures and videos pop over to our facebook page! We'd love for you to be our friend:) Until next summer...
Kids with no inhibitions could potentially cause stress for the adults who are working with them. But when you see a child walk up to an elderly person in a wheelchair and throw their arms wide open for a hug, you have to smile and love the impulsive action.
Today 58 elementary and middle school kids took their Saturday to serve others. Meeting at Highland Park Community Outreach, Urban Arts hosted the fall service project along with Kids that Rock from Kensington Church. Splitting into three groups, the kids rotated to an outdoor paint activity, an indoor craft project and a music class. Once the projects were completed, we loaded up and drove over to the Highland Park Nursing Home where the kids sang three songs and presented the crafts they made to the residents of the home.
Jesus was present and the children's love was abounding!
Hi Friends,

Director, Urban Art Outreach
How do you teach youth to serve others? Is it something that comes naturally--putting other people before yourself? Most would laugh and say 'No way!'. So how to we come by this selfless action and attitude? By knowing Christ. Urban Art volunteers do their best to model a servant's attitude for the youth to see. Serving is showing others' Christ's unselfish love. What better way to teach youth to serve than to give them the opportunity.
Saturday was the second "Service Project" day for UA students at HPCO. We partnered with Kids that Rock, a performing arts program from Kensington Community Church. The children arrived in the morning ready to work! They split into groups and worked on making St. Patrick Day table decorations for the Highland Park Nursing Home as well as practiced several songs they would perform for the residents of the nursing home.
After lunch, everyone loaded up and caravan-ed to the nursing home. For some kids it was a stretch to walk into such a different environment: seeing elderly people in wheelchairs, smelling different smells, watching nurses take care of individuals who needed extra TLC. But each child who walked into the building knew why they were there and what they needed to do. Share the love of Christ. With each song that was sung and each table decoration that was made with the residents the smiles on the faces of the kids got bigger and bigger. They enjoyed spending their entire Saturday serving others. This is only the beginning of their young lives and we pray that their heart of service will continue to grow as large as the smiles on their faces when they left at the end of the day.
We are so thankful for individuals and small groups who take time to make dinners and goodies for the Urban Art students on Monday evenings. This night, a small group from KCC, made sloppy joes, fruit jello, corn and provided drinks and paper products. Thanks you guys!! It was yummie;)

After being promised a free copy of Battlefield 1943 with their purchase of Battlefield 3, PS3 fans are suing EA after the publisher changed the terms of the deal after the fact.
Electronic Arts promised Battlefield fans that if they bought a PS3 copy of Battlefield 3, they'd also get a free copy of Battlefield: 1943. Then EA pulled the proverbial football from the running PS3 fans, making them fall on their backs like proverbial Charlie Browns. EA reneged on the free Battlefield 1943 offer and instead said that PS3 players would get early access to DLC content. But, as Kotaku points out, EA made this announcement after the game had been released. This, not surprisingly, didn't sit well with PS3 fans.
The class action suit against EA is being taken to court by firm Edelson McGuire on behalf of PS3 Battlefield 3 fans. The suit actually isn't about EA going back on its 1943 offer, but instead alleges that the publisher announced the deal change so late (after the game had been released) that PS3 owners basically were duped into purchasing the game on that platform instead of the Xbox 360 or PC. The suit also discusses how the "make up" deal was in fact anything but– considering that the DLC announcement was made separately and did not include references to 1943.
According to Kotaku, the suit alleges that EA "misled and profited from thousands of their customers by making a promise that they could not, and never intended, to keep." By offering 1943 as an incentive to purchasing Battlefield 3 on the PS3, EA funneled players to the platform under false pretenses and using manipulative marketing tactics– essentially making promises they had no intention of keeping. This of course sets a dangerous precedent for future marketing deals. Imagine being offered a free DLC or an enclosed copy of another game (heck, maybe even the mulitiplayer component of a game) only to find out that the publisher has backed out of the deal.
So what's the likely outcome of the case? The attorneys at Edelson McGuire are likely hoping that EA will fold and grant PS3 players the copy of Battlefield 1943 they were promised. And for the sake of future precedent, let's hope the courts agree.

so here goes nothing, i'm going to dive right into my showcase recipe - fleur de sel caramel coconut pudding. its a mouthful for a dessert name - but it describes this spot on. its a salty, caramelly, coconutty pudding that goes down a little too easily.
you may remember a few posts ago, i posted about the salted butterscotch pudding that i had for dessert at linger restaurant in denver. mind expanding, tastebud blowing - gluten and dairy free coconut pudding. a few of my girlfriends and i are heading back to linger for happy hour this week and ive got my heart set on ordering it again. fingers crossed the dessert menu hasn't changed yet. anyhow, i felt inspired and wanted to recreate the dessert on my own. my rendition is definitely not the same, by a long shot. instead of having a butterscotch flavor - caramel and coconut notes stand out. i also borrowed the linger pastry chef's idea on a crunchy topping to add texture to the pudding - pretty good.
fleur de sel caramel coconut pudding
- 1 can light coconut milk (1.5 cups)
- 1/4 c + 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp fleur de sel (or 1/8 tsp table salt)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1.5 tbsp earth balance or dairy free margarine of your choice
crispy rice topping
- 1/2 cup puffed rice
- 1 tbsp agave nectar or honey

Aston Martin announced its official move towards a technical partnership with Mercedes-Benz GmbH confirming previous AMG rumblings about such a deal. The partnership will gain Aston Martin access to Mercedes' resources in the development of bespoke V8 engines in addition to the use of electric/electronic components.
Product Development Director at Aston Martin, Ian Minards comments: "We have selected AMG specifically as the basis for this powertrain development process. Aston Martin sources cutting-edge technology from key suppliers around the globe and the opportunity to include content from Mercedes- AMG GmbH in our next generation sports cars is, clearly, good news."
Head of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, Ola Källenius commented: "We are proud to work with Aston Martin and provide them with powertrain and e/e components for their forthcoming sports cars. This is proof of AMG's technological and performance expertise and a real win-win situation for both sides."
Where will Aston Martin place this new engine technology? The Virage, Vantage, Vanquish and Rapid are possible sports car candidates along with a potential new SUV model. As covered by Motor Trend, the 2009 Lagonda concept is on the table for Aston Martin as well. This makes sense at a competition standpoint with recent news of Bentley releasing an SUV for 2016.
Motor Trend also stated in a recent article that the "British marque could pinch downsized engines from Mercedes at some point in the future." This thought was brought on by Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez who commented "Four- or even three-cylinders are possible. If the spirit of the times demands six-cylinders, then it has to be looked at."
See some of the latest variants from both Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz below:
2014 Aston Martin Vanquish
MSRP: $282,110 base
Engine: 5.9-liter DOHC 48-valve V12
Performance: 565hp, 457 lb-ft and 0-60 in 4 seconds

By Nancy Pope, Historian and Curator
On August 28, 1864, while the nation was still in the midst of the Civil War, the Post Office Department established the Railway Mail Service. The new service revolutionized the way mail was processed by sorting mail aboard moving trains, not just in post offices. Trains had been carrying mail for almost 30 years by that time. Under that system, mail bags were loaded onto the trains to be carried to another post office for processing. Some were delivered, but many others were put back into bags for another train trip. Some postal officials began wondering if they could improve that process by putting clerks on the trains to sort mail along the way, dramatically reducing the time it took to receive a letter.
To learn more about catching mail "on-the-fly," click here.
A successful, if short-lived attempt to sort mail on moving mail cars had operated in 1862 on the Hannibal and St. Joseph (Missouri) line. George B. Armstrong, the assistant postmaster in Chicago, championed the idea and on August 28, 1864 the first such mail car (a renovated baggage car) was used on the Chicago & North Western Railroad line between Chicago and Clinton, Iowa. As the train moved along its route, clerks busily sorted mail to each post office along the way (and brought in mail from those offices which was also sorted). Clerks sorted the mail not only to routes on the line, but post offices past the end of the line. Newly established mail cars soon carried mail between New York and Washington, New York and Erie, Pennsylvania. Chicago routes were expanded to Chicago and Burlington, Illinois and Chicago and Rock Island, Illinois. Two clerks on average were assigned to each train car, and postal officials were soon boasting of 12 to 24 hours reduction in time of delivery.
Just three years later, in his 1867 annual report, Postmaster General John Creswell noted that there were 18 such routes in operation in the U.S., over 4,435 miles of railroad track with 160 clerks at work processing the mail. At the same time, 30 clerks were dismissed or moved from their jobs in the post offices at New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, as railway clerks began to take on more of the load of processing mail. In his 1868 report, Creswell boasted of 26 railway lines in operation, with 297 clerks at work on the trains. The trend continued over the next decades, as moving more and more of mail processing onto trains brought a decentralization of postal operations.
This new method of sorting the mail was developed just when railroads began to crisscross the nation on a regular basis. The service grew as railroads came to dominate America from the end of the 19th century through World War II. After the war, airlines and highways improved, taking passengers away from railroads. The declining passenger traffic brought a decline in railroads and their mail cars. At the same time, postal officials were putting more emphasis on mechanical processing techniques, machines that needed large factory-sized buildings for operations, not tight, moving, train cars. The final railway mail car run was completed on June 30, 1977, as the train from New York pulled into Washington's Union Station.

Top Ten Stories for 2010
10. Treasure Chest Thursday- The Imprisonment Quilt, judging by the search terms I've seen lately on the statistic page of my blog, this story attracts both quilters and people researching Queen Lili'uokalani on line. There were also quite a few people searching under "Iolani Palace" and most interesting were the number of search hits for "Iolani Palace Frosted Windows". If you are curious about "why the frosted windows in Iolani Palace?", you must read this story!
9. The Value of Posting Brick Walls on Genealogy Bulletin Boards, need I say more? Isn't everyone searching for ways to break through those genealogical brick walls?
8. Baseball and Genealogy Research, was a fun story and it generated a record number of email. There is at least one baseball player in almost everyone's family tree. There were also many comments with ideas and links for good places to research old baseball records and players, so be sure to read the comments from readers if you read the story.
7. Blog Caroling - James Pierpont and Jingle Bells, this was a last minute entry for the year, and perhaps it was popular because of the Christmas theme. In looking at the search terms, "Civil War" and "abolitionist" came up quite a bit. If you are curious why, you must read about James Pierpont!
6. Internet Searches vs. A Real Library, was a surprise hit with readers and with search terms through Google, Bing and other search engines.
5. Family History Day, Concord, NH, 23 October 2010- another surprise hit, but perhaps folks were searching for directions? more information? registration links? And all I did was post some information about this upcoming event.
4. Ellis Island Oral Histories- How I Learned Something New- one of my favorite posts, and I guess a lot of readers liked it, too!
3. Beauport Mansion, this was a post I did on a historic home in Gloucester, Massachusetts, which has generated lots of hits on Google and Bing for Henry Davis Sleeper, the builder, and for his parents Jacob Henry Sleeper and Maria Wescott. There must be a lot of folks researching the SLEEPER genealogy.
2. Thanksgiving Proclamation 2010, Wow, I'm so glad to see so many people are interested in the story behind Thanksgiving, as well as interest in the Mayflower Society and New Hampshire governor John Lynch! Remember, you can't have your Thanksgiving dinner until someone signs this proclamation every year, LOL!
1. Canobie Lake, was a story I did about a local amusement park which is now well over 100 years old. I'm surprised by the number of hits on this by search engines, and I chalked it up to folks searching for directions and information during the summer. However, the hits keep on coming, even though the park closes after Halloween. I've surprised that this was the #1 story, but then again, there were a lot of surprises on this list.
Three posts tied for the most comments of all time: Treasure Chest Thursday-Publishing a Book for my Blog (a story about using Blurb book software to "slurp" your blog posts directly into book form- and I've recieved loads and loads of email from other bloggers since this was posted about their adventures into self publishing their blogs, genealogies and photo books), and Diabetes and Genealogy (another surprise, I guess diabetes runs in lots and lots of family trees), and also Vote for your Favorite Genealogy Blog, which was about the nominations for the Family Tree Magazine Top 40 Genealogical Blogs. Comments are some of my favorite things, so keep it up readers!
The most popular of all things on my blog, passing all posts and even the Canobie Lake story by double, is my page of "Surnames to 9 Generations". I'm thinking of expanding this to perhaps 12 generations, but since genealogy is exponential, this would be quite a large page! It makes me happy to think of all the hits on this page, and maybe they were made by some distant cousins!

Game Central
Team Video Center
Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's ice hockey team opened a busy week of action by pulling out a hard-fought 3-2 non-conference road victory over the Mercyhurst Lakers on Tuesday (Oct. 15) night in Erie, Pa.
The Bulldogs remained unbeaten all-time against the Lakers with the win at the Mercyhurst Ice Center and will return home with a 2-1 overall record after three-straight road contests to open the 2013-14 campaign.
Ferris State, which was picked to finish second this year in the Bulldogs' debut season in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), fought back from a one-goal deficit early in the opening period to notch the win.
Mercyhurst struck first at 5:08 of the opening period as Stephen Hrehoriak notched a power-play goal on a backdoor play that resulted in a shot past Bulldog junior goaltender CJ Motte. Both Nick Jones and Ryan Misiak picked up assists.
The Bulldogs responded approximately 10 minutes later when the fourth line combination of sophomore Kenny Babinski along with true freshmen Chad McDonald and Seth Adams combined to tie the contest up at a goal apiece. Babinski notched his first goal of the year with a rebound try while both Adams and McDonald picked up their first collegiate points on the assist.
Ferris State then took its first lead of the night at 8:46 into the second period when senior forward Garrett Thompson fired a low hardshot from the slot into the back of the net off assists from forwards Connor Schmidt and Justin Buzzeo.
FSU added another goal nearly 30 seconds later when senior Justin DeMartino hammered a slapshot past the Lakers' Jimmy Sarjeant to the top right corner following a line change. Fellow senior Cory Kane was credited with the helper on the shot.
The Lakers trimmed the two-goal margin to a single score 53 seconds into the final period as Matthew Zay tallied an unassisted goal, but the Bulldogs were able to hold onto the lead down the stretch. Motte made a critical save in the final minute of the contest to help preserve the victory.
Ferris State held a slim 27-24 edge in total shots, which included 11 in the opening period to go with seven in the second and nine in the third. Meanwhile, the Lakers recorded nine shots in the first frame, four in the middle period and finished with 11 shots in the last period.
The Bulldogs were unable to capitalize on six power-play tries while Mercyhurst finished one-for-six with the man-advantage. Both teams totaled six penalties for 12 minutes in the box each.
Motte recorded 22 saves for the Bulldogs in improving to 2-0 in net this season with Sarjeant stopping 24 Ferris States scoring chances for the Lakers in 58:29 of ice time.
Thompson paced the Bulldogs with four shots in the contest and the trio of DeMartino, Buzzeo and Adams all had three shots apiece. Zay had a contest-best five shots for the Lakers.
By virtue of his game-winning goal, Thompson picked up the game's first star while Zay claimed the second star and Motte earned the third for the Bulldogs.
With the loss, Mercyhurst dropped to 0-3 overall this campaign as they had dropped back-to-back games in the highly-competitive Ice Breaker Tournament to open the year last weekend.
Ferris State improved to 6-0-1 all-time versus Mercyhurst with the win and won for the third time in as many tries at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. The trip to Erie was FSU's first since winning back-to-back games in 2005.
Mercyhurst entered the year coming off a 19-win season a year ago in which the Lakers also reached the Atlantic Hockey title game.
The Bulldogs return home to host St. Lawrence in FSU's home-opening series this Friday and Saturday (Oct. 18-19) evenings at the Ewigleben Ice Arena in Big Rapids. Both non-league contests start at 7:07 p.m. (ET).
Friday night's home opener is free to all FSU students with a valid ID card while saturday's game will serve as the Bulldogs' first "Pink In The Rink" contest presented by General Mills-Yoplait. Ferris State will don pink jerseys for the game and all fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness with proceeds from the event benefiting the Susan P. Wheatlake fund.
Tickets for all 2013-14 Bulldog home regular-season hockey games can be purchased in advance at StarTickets.com, by calling (800) 585-3737 or in person at the FSU Athletics Ticket Office inside the Ewigleben Sports Complex. The box office is open Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (ET) with extended hours until 7 p.m. (ET) on Wednesdays throughout the season.
The ticket office will also open on Saturday at 12 p.m. (ET). For additional ticket information, please call (231) 591-2888 or visit FerrisStateBulldogs.com for a complete pricing structure.

Yo, son, these classic fairy tales are like hella boring! HOLLYWOOD, DROP SOME PHAT BEATS ON THIS BITCH!
The studio is on the cusp of triggering production on the Gary Sanchez project Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, a dark action movie that picks up with the fairy tale siblings years after the traumatic childhood incident has turned them into bounty hunters. Jeremy Renner, who has been attached for some time, finally has his sister in James Bond babe Gemma Arterton.
Director Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow) is hoping to begin shooting the project in Berlin March 7. [THR]
They say "dark action movie", but Gary Sanchez is Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's production company, and Tommy Wirkola made a movie about nazi zombies that puke blood, so I'm hoping the secret is that this is tongue in cheek or overtly comedic. Otherwise, look for this tale to LOSE THE FAIRIES AND ADD RAP ROCK! Yo, Gretel, drop some Red Bulls on the ground so we can find our way back from BASE jumping, TICK TICK TICK… SLUTS!
Play us out, parkour dog.
If this doesn't end up being XXXTREME enough, there's always the upcoming, Michael Bay-produced Hansel & Gretel 3D. Oh Hollywood, don't ever change.

A Bible that has been part of ceremonies at a Southern California Elks Lodge for more than 100 years and other items that have been part of the organization for decades were saved from a fire early Tuesday at the iconic building.
Firefighters responded to 1748 W. Cumbre Drive just after 2:50 a.m. The two-story building was fully engulfed in flames and the roof collapsed on the first floor around 3:30 a.m., according to officials. The fire was knocked down by 4:45 a.m.
The Bible, which was not damaged, is used during Elks Lodge ceremonies for the fraternal organization. It was one of several items firefighters brought out of the burned out building.
"I'm so elated that firefighters were able to save our lodge room and save this Bible," said Exalted Ruler Jose Chavez, who was in tears when firefighters handed him the Bible. "I've been holding this since 3 o'clock this morning."
The Bible has been signed by every Exalted Ruler, including Chavez, since 1905.
U.S. & World
Battalion Chief Steve Ruda of the Los Angeles Fire Department called the structure an "iconic San Pedro landmark" that was "serving the people of San Pedro for over 100 years." The San Pedro Elks Lodge had more than 2,300 members.
"Anybody who lives in San Pedro has been here, for either a fundraiser, wedding, funeral, community fundraising event, said James Dimon, Elks Lodge trustee. "The lodge is the community and the community is the lodge."
The building a 37,000-square-foot two-story structure with a basement, located on a hillside. Ruda said the facility faced significant damage and that firefighters are saddened by the loss.

Firefighters were able to save what Ruda described as a ritual hall, where services and meetings are held.
"There was not total devastation here, we were able to save that particular part of the building and our hearts go out because everybody knows of this iconic building, (and) what they've done for the people of San Pedro," Ruda said.
No injuries have been reported.
There was a members-only meeting at the facility last night, but it's "hard to say" what the cause of the fire is just yet, according to Ruda.
Another fire was reported at the same location outside the building on Sunday at 6 a.m., raising concern.
"It is a little early to tell, however it is two fires close together that are of suspicious nature," Ruda said.

After 60 years in the ACC, one of the conference's original members, Maryland, will make its long-anticipated exit at the end of this upcoming academic calendar year. The Terps will be joining Rutgers in making a move to the Big Ten.
One could make a claim that until the move is official 11 months from now, Maryland is a lame duck, living in a sort of conference realignment-driven limbo.
ACC commissioner John Swofford does not count himself among those who believe that.
"Maryland's been an excellent member of this league since 1953," Swofford said Sunday afternoon during a forum that opened this year's ACC Kickoff. "Their coaches and their athletes, in playing their last year in our league, deserve the very best of the ACC. And that's what they will receive."
Two pending lawsuits — the first of which was filed by the ACC — might have some Terps fans bristling at Swofford's call for fairness and equity.
Just after Maryland announced last November its plans to leave for the Big Ten, the ACC filed a suit claiming the Terps owed more than $52 million in exit fees. Maryland then countered with its own suit, citing the exit fee as being anti-competitive. In December, the ACC withheld a portion of Maryland's conference distribution as an "offset" to the exit fee.
Late last month, a Maryland judge dismissed a portion of the lawsuit, offering a ruling that favored the ACC. Swofford declined to give an update to the legal matters pertaining to Maryland's forthcoming departure.
"Litigation, I'm really not going to speak to that," he said. "Our lawyers will handle that. But from our perspective, what little has been done at this point, I'd say is so far, so good."
Miami QB says Johnny Manziel isn't so bad
With his public image suffering, Johnny Manziel has at least one fan in the ACC.
Miami quarterback Stephen Morris got to know the reigning Heisman Trophy winner at the Manning Passing Academy earlier this month. Morris was unaware of the controversy surrounding Manziel's early departure until well after the fact.
He also painted a picture that contrasts with the public image.
"He's a very cool guy, very down to earth," Morris said Sunday. "He has all these accolades and he's still talking to everybody who came up to him — all the fans who were there at the camp. He spent time taking pictures and signing autographs which says a lot.
"He's a humble guy and a funny guy to be around, No. 1. But I think he's a great guy."
So does he take a bad rap?
"I just think the media wants to put it a certain way," Morris said. "But Johnny's a great guy."
That didn't mean Morris wasn't competitive with Manziel and the other top passers in the country. He won the skills competition and created significant buzz around his senior season.
He came away with one other observation: The ACC quarterbacks are superior to the rest of the country.
"The SEC is known for defense," Morris said. "But the ACC has a lot of talented quarterbacks."
Swofford: Don't pay players
Among the myriad topics Swofford covered in his approximately 40-minute speech was one that dealt with the unending debate concerning compensating student-athletes.
He made it clear he does not favor paying them.
"I just don't think that's what college athletics is about," Swofford said.
He added that he was all for re-evaluating the way some financial support is given to athletes based on their individual financial needs. Some have made an argument that some sort of scaled stipend for such athletes could be doable.
"Personally," Swofford began, "this is not one that I can tell you the majority of our schools support at this point in time. But the full cost of attendance as a scholarship would be helpful."
Latest Terps
FSU cornerback Lamarcus Joyner on having to travel to Clemson on Oct. 19 for arguably the Seminoles' biggest conference game of the season: "It's not going to be a walk in the park. It's going to be a walk down a dark alley."
