A Tale of Three Coffins: Living and Dying in 17th Century St. Mary's City
March 2015 - March 2016
Three lead coffins held members of the Calvert family and represent the only physical remains of Maryland's founding family scholars have ever recovered. The exhibition contained the coffins in the exact arrangement as they were discovered in the foundation of the Jesuit Chapel, the oldest brick building in Maryland.
Visitors gained vivid insights into seventeenth-century life from what settlers ate to the often gruesome medical practices they faced to their religious and burial customs that present a complete view of the harsh reality of seventeenth-century living. The exhibition highlighted the process of archeological investigation, including film footage of the surprising discovery made in 1990. In March 2016, the coffins were reinterred in their original location at a historically accurate, reconstructed chapel in St. Mary's City.
Mason and Dixon and the Defining of America: Treasures from the Maryland Historical Society and Independence Hall
December 4, 2008-April 5, 2009
The exhibition displayed authentic artifacts and iconic documents related to the Mason-Dixon Survey, one of the greatest scientific accomplishments of the age.
The Voss Family, Artists of American Sporting Life
April 11-July 27, 2008
The Voss Family, Artists of American Sporting Life, an exhibition organized by the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York, featured over 85 works of art (oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, prints, and sculptures) by members of the Voss family on loan from six museums and 28 private lenders.
From the Maryland Historical Society, the exhibition moved to the National Sporting Library in Middleburg, Virginia, for the fall and winter of 2008. Guest curator Ms. Gregory R. Weidman wrote an accompanying catalogue.

The Wagner Christmas Garden- A Reflection of Us
November 23, 2007 - Janurary 27, 2007
This Tell Us Your Stories exhibit featured a Christmas garden on display for the first time at MdHS, as set up by the Wagner Family for over a century, from 1900 to 2002. Carl Wagner's Christmas garden contained pieces from three generations with a "Main Street Circus Parade" heading for a circus ring. The lead soldiers, lead cannons, and cardboard buildings were used by his father, Carl Wagner, Sr., in his train garden on Bond Street in Baltimore. The metal cars and warning signal were in Mr. Wagner's garden when he was growing up in west Baltimore. The Plasticville buildings were part of the Christmas gardens he created for his children.
At Freedom's Door: Challenging Slavery in Maryland
February 3 - October 28, 2007
At Freedom's Door: Challenging Slavery in Maryland examined Maryland's integral relationship to the history of slavery in the United States by exploring the resistance to slavery from enslaved and free people of Maryland, as well as the state's participation in the institution and perpetuation of slavery. The changing definition and perceptions of freedom were also examined from both historical and contemporary perspectives through artifacts, accounts, and the work of contemporary artists.
More than 35 students from Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and Morgan State University participated in a two year seminar engaging them at a professional level in every aspect of the development and installation of a major exhibition, including the research, planning, and production. These students, enrolled in the Exhibition Development Seminar, worked on At Freedom's Door: Challenging Slavery in Maryland to be exhibited at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture (RFLM) and the Maryland Historical Society (MdHS).
Maryland Schoolgirl Samplers & Embroideries, 1738-1860
April 14, 2007 - November 15, 2007
Telling touching tales of the world of young girls, both black and white, Maryland Schoolgirl Samplers & Embroideries, 1738- 1860 displayed over 100 samples of needlework, selected by guest curator Dr. Gloria Seaman Allen. The examples chosen are a tangible reflection of the rich mixture of cultures that contributed to Maryland's history.
For over 120 years in Maryland, from the mid 18th to the mid 19th century, needlework was considered an indispensable subject in the female curriculum. Whether taught in the home or in a seminary or other institution, girls as young as six labored over their samplers as a means of teaching them the rudiments of reading and writing.

Latrobe's Cathedral: The Baltimore Basilica Through the Year
November 1, 2007 - May 6, 2007
The exhibition told the story of the Basilica's architect B. Henry Latrobe and its first Archbishop John Carroll. It detailed the changes made to the building over the years, culminating in the Basilica's glorious restoration to Latrobe's original vision. The skylights in the Cathedral domel again diffuse the sanctuary with what Latrobe termed lumière mystérieuse (mysterious light). On display were documents, drawings, paintings, photographs, and artifacts ranging from marble fragments to an early christening robe.
The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was the first Catholic cathedral built after America gained independence. Begun in 1806 and dedicated in 1821, it is considered to be B. Henry Latrobe's masterwork.
The Basilica's history is closely entwined with the history of Maryland, which was established in the 17th century as a colony where both Catholics and other denominations could worship freely. On display will be materials relating to the Calvert family who founded the colony in the reign of Charles 1 and the voyage of the Ark and The Dove, the ships that carried the first settlers to Maryland. There is a painting depicting the first mass the settlers held on these new shores. Included are pastoral letters from Archbishop John Carroll, correspondence between Carroll and Latrobe, and Latrobe's initial sketches and drawings for the cathedral.

For years, I wrote to the sound of tango music from the '20s and '30s — Don Barreto, Roberto Firpo, Ada Falcón and, of course, the king of them all, Carlos Gardel, who died in a plane crash in 1935. Not that I'd ever been to Argentina at that point: I just loved the music. And when I moved to L.A. and found a restaurant named for the singer near West Hollywood, I had to try it. That was 1996, just after the Bozoghlian family from Buenos Aires bought the place and turned it into one of the most welcoming, and festive, restaurants in town.
Mention Carlitos Gardel to someone who knows it and you're likely to get an effusive recommendation. It's my friend Jimmy's favorite date restaurant. For another set, it's the default for birthdays and other celebrations. The other day, driving down Melrose Avenue, the restaurant's sign caught my eye, and I realized it had been quite a while since I was last there. Why not see what's doing with this beloved, long-running place?
It's doing quite nicely, thank you. Mother Azniv Bozoghlian (the name is Armenian) directs the kitchen and the cooking is less fancy restaurant fare, more Argentine home cooking. Son Max found a passion for wine and has put together an extensive list of the best bottles Argentina has to offer, along with a few Italian and French labels. Son Gerard is a warm presence in the dining room.
And on the weekends, which is when you want to go, the whole family is there, including the paterfamilias, Carlos, who works the bar area in back and, of course, writes up the checks. Friday and Saturday nights, a musician who once worked with the Moscow Philharmonic and goes only by the nickname Goga teases out old tangos from a keyboard set up at the back.
No crudo or baby beet salad here. The appetizers don't flirt with the trendy but go back to a more gracious age of dining. Hongos are meaty mushroom caps stuffed with a forcemeat of chicken, breadcrumbs, vegetables and herbs in a red wine sauce. Fine deep-fried squid comes with a zesty marinara sauce. The empanadas are a must. But my favorite is matambre de pollo, boned chicken rolled up around a filling of hardboiled eggs, ham and cheese, served sliced, with a classic creamy insalata russa on the side.
Though the restaurant's famous papas fritas Provenzal are also listed as an appetizer, wait for the main courses to order them. One order of these incredibly fragrant, crisp fries showered with garlic and parsley is plenty for six. Splichal couldn't do it better.
Restaurants with tablecloths are practically an endangered species in L.A. Here, tables are draped in white cloths, which does a lot to tamp down the noise level. Even with music swirling all around us, we could still hear each other. Linens also bring a sense of occasion to the evening. One friend kept remarking at dinner, "I feel as if I've dined, not just eaten."
And so we did. I can verify that the spinach and ricotta gnocchi, often available as a special, are tender little bites sitting on a pool of marinara sauce. Pastas are decent too. Remember that a huge percentage of Argentines have family from Italy generations back, so Italian food is as popular there as it is here.
The primary reason you go to Carlitos Gardel, though, is for the steaks. The beef is grass-fed Angus, and even less expensive cuts, like the skirt steak, have a deep beefy flavor. That skirt steak, actually, may be my favorite. Stretched out lengthwise to what looks like easily a foot, a skinny foot, it is juicy and chewy, a steak with texture.
Order the mini bife and you'll wonder how or why this is called a "mini." That's because in Argentina, we like our steaks big, explains a waiter. The mini New York cut is about 9 ounces, but the regular bife is some 18 ounces. Really, the mini is plenty, napped fancily in a black peppercorn, white wine and mushroom sauce with some bite.
Listen up for the steak specials too. One night it was a 40-ounce rib-eye for $80, which four of us shared, though there was some tussling over who got the bone. The kitchen brings in big cuts of beef and breaks them down themselves.
The other way to go is with the parrillada, or mixed grill, for two, which is ample for three, maybe even four if you don't have big appetites. A small grill arrives on the table, with coals underneath to keep the meat warm. You get skirt steak, short ribs, blood sausage with a hint of sweet spices, spicy Argentine style chorizo and flattened sweetbreads, which are cooked until they're crispy at the edges. It's quite the carnivore's feast.
With any meat, you get a sauceboat of chimichurri sauce, basically roughly cut parsley, garlic, olive oil and lemon — and highly addictive. On request, they'll bring you one generously spiked with hot red peppers. You also get home-style mashed potatoes colored with a little pumpkin to give them a pale orange-gold tinge. For me, they're a little pasty. The carrots and broccoli aren't particularly inspiring either.
But the wines are. Top red wines from Argentina are expensive, and the list reflects that, but you can also find some less pricy Malbecs, such as the Luigi Bosca Malbec DOC from Luja´n de Cuyo. F+or fans, the selection of high-end Argentine wines is expansive. Max even took out the small stage to make room for wine storage. I also ferreted out a fine 2004 Giacomo Conterno Barbera d'Alba and a truly beautiful 1998 Marquis d'Angerville Volnay premier cru "Champans," both at a very fair price for the quality and vintage.
Mrs. Bozoghlian takes great pride in her desserts, which she makes herself. Her signature is the postre Gardel, a tall slab of genoise layered with peaches, dulce de leche and meringue, which looks as if it would be achingly sweet but skirts the edge. There's a basic — and excellent — chocolate cake with nuts in the batter. And sometimes an ethereally light ricotta cake, simple and direct. When the waiter presents the full complement of desserts for a show and tell, it's hard not to be tempted. She blesses her desserts, the waiter tells us. How could you not be tempted?
At Carlitos Gardel, of course you should indulge. The normal cautions and rules don't apply at this restaurant outside of time and place. Let Gardel's music and mother Bozoghlian's honest cooking work its magic. Here, it's Buenos Aires sometime in the past and all is well —- Mr. Bozoghlian in the back, glasses pushed down on his nose, adding up the bills, his son Max decanting a wine, Gerard giving a short history of the restaurant to newcomers as laughter and the scent of garlic and grilled beef wafts over the quaint dining room.

Dear Editor,
I read in your last edition the
letter of a farmer who wrote to
you to weep and wail about the
40,000 barns going without paint
to satisfy the women of America.
I agree with the man when he says
that too many girls of the school
use too much makeup, namely lip-stick
and nail polish; but I don't
agree that this causes our barns
to remain unpainted.
If your friend will read how lip-stick
is made he will find the chief
ingredients to be : cochineal which
is a red or scarlet dye removed
from an insect which has been
thoroughly ground a n d pressed,
and a fat base which is rendered
from fat removed from horses that
have died of their own fair means,
or of some disease such as sleep-ing-
sickness. These two with a
host of other ingredients such as

The milestone is past. The first
half of the year is over and the
most critical time is at hand.
It is at such times as this that
people show what they are made
of and whether, once the hand has
been put to the plow, they can
refrain from looking back. A good
start has been made and the easy
thing to do is to say, "I've done
my share. Now let someone else
take over." ' It is easy to forget
that someone else has been doing
his share in another corner.
Much of the effort and most of
the pleasure of college is extra-curricular.
Nor are such activities
unprofitable a large part of a lib-eral
education being contingent
upon just such non-credit work.
Those who go on to higher schools
will find that registrars are quite
interested in extra--curricular re-cords,
and rightly so. These activ-ities
teach practical living in a
way that organized classes cannot
hope to do.
It was great sport to start extra-curricular
work last fall, with a
whole year of unselfish service to
devote. But now the shouting is
over and, as in Gideon's army, the
true soldiers are being sorted out.
So far we have had the try-outs;
the real struggle has not yet be-gun.

Dr. George Truett used to say at

That is a great statement to

Him as our Saviour and Lord.
All of us live more or less insul-ar

is concerned. There are deeps in
our hearts and lives that we can-not

Clarion Gets
Shea Letter
This is another in the series of
articles written by great Christians
of today especially for the CLAR-ION.
Dear Clarion:
Thank you for your letter of
January 20. I am glad to give you
a word of testimony for you relig-ious
"Jesus said, 'I am the door: by
me if any man enter in, he shall
be saved.' I am glad that at an
early age I learned that the Chris-tian
experiences of my father and
mother, wonderful as they were,
could not bring me into a right
relationship with God; I had to
come in through 'the Door' and so
I trusted Christ as my Saviour.
Through the years He has meant
everything to me. 'I'd rather have
Jesus than silver or gold, I'd rath-er
be His than have riches un-told.'
Again, thank you for writing me.
How about a copy of the CLARION
coming this way when it's out?
May His rich blessings be yours.

We can't help but notice the

in his enthusiasm, a hard

to the embarrassment of some of
the regulars on the other team.

Standard as follows:
The attendance in the Seminary
has been increasing during the last
years as well as that in the col-lege.
The seminary building is in-creasingly
over-crowded. The clas-ses,
like Dr. Karlson's, overflow
into the hall. The library and stu-dy
facilities are inadequate. This
condition will be somewhat reme-died
when we remodel the pres-ent
seminary dormitory upstairs
into classrooms and study h a 1 1.
The four-year college will of course
strengthen the Seminary prepara-tion
and make possible greater ex-pansion
even there.

as he has collected his full share

on our part to visualize Bethel
closer to the conference lead if
"I3orgy" had not a back injury in
the earlier part of the season
which kept him from appearing
in any of the first eight games.
We will have some more oppor-tunities
to watch "Borgy" play in
the last two games of the season,
one tonight and the other next
Monday. Both these games will be
on the Bethel floor. Austin and
Luther alike will have their hands

Sneakers Lead Bethel Loses Battle to Braves Intra-Murals
Bethel Murders Indians Lose By
Rochester 52-44 Only 2 Points
In case you hadn't noticed, on
the last five Friday afternoons,
there has been quite a lot of noise
and excitement kicked up, down in
our school gym. This noise and
excitement has all generated from
the Intra-mural Basketball league.
There are probably several reas-ons
for gathering all the intra-mural
sharpshooters, to shout their
lungs out, to get the exercise or
maybe just for the love of the
game. But whatever it is our
league has the right amount of ev-erything
to make it a success.
Seventy five recruits showed in-terest
at the mention of intramural
basketball six weeks ago. These
seventy two were divided into six
teams by drawing the names out
of a hat. The teams then got to-gether
to organize and elect a cap-tain.
George Taylor, a member of the
varsity Basketball team, volunteer-ed
his services as referee for each
Friday afternoon. A schedule was
arranged, so that each team would
meet the other five teams in turn,
with three games each Friday. The
teams were then ready to begin
their careers. At the outset of the
season, there were many fouls and
faulty ball handling. Each quintet
soon found the feel of the ball and
began to iron out its troubles. Each
crew is now a smooth working
basketball machine. Competition
has grown very keen and some
high scoring games have been the

Austin Protects
Lead Tonight
The Bethel Indians will meet
the Austin five on the home court
this evening in what should be a
thriller. Austin will be fighting to
retain its hold on first place. At
the present time Austin has a
7-2 record, and Bethel, with 7
wins and 4 losses, is still among
the first division teams. Even
though they are the underdogs for
this encounter, the Indians have a
good chance of defeating Austin if
they display the form that enabled
them .to defeat Rochester last Sa-turday.
The fact that Rochester
has a victory over Austin gives
Bethel a strong possibility of win-ning.
Coach Edwards will probably
start Ev Johnson and Ray Sand-berg
at the forward positions, Ken-ny
Greenman at the pivot posi-tion,
and Bab Sandin and John Dis-chinger
as guards.

Rochester College was automat-ically
thrown into seventh place
in the conference when the Bethel
Indians squelched them in a fast
game last Saturday night.
Sandburg again held high place,
with Everett Johnson and Kenneth
Greenman tying for second high.
From three points behind at the
end of the first quarter, Bethel
pulled out for a three point lead
at the half, with the score stand-ing
at 21-18. In the third quarter
Bethel fell behind again, until Dis-chinger
dropped in a bucket from
behind the ten-second line, putting
Bethel in a one point lead. At the
end of the game Bethel led by
eight points, giving them another
fought-for and well-earned victory.

a sprained ankle while John Dis-chinger
of the home team took a

Cathedral Six
With Richert's usual scoring
prowess, which garnered 17 points
the Bethel Six defeated Cathedral,
by a score of 34-14, Feb. 25, in a
game played at Bethel.
Starting lineup for the red and
white was forwards : L. Rametz,
Peterson, Richerts ; and guards:
Larson, Rametz, Westlund. Coach
Edwards frequently changed this
starting lineup, twice sending in
a whole new team.
Cathedral was behind at the
start. The half ended, 24-7, Bethel.
Bethel stretched their lead to
end the game with a 20 point mar-gin.
Bethel Indians, lost by 2 points

Starting lineup for the Indians
was center, Greenman; forwards,

guards, Sandin and Dischinger.
The Braves went into a lead in
the first quarter, 13-4. However
as soon as Bergeson came into the
game for the Indians at center,
sending Greenman to the post of
guard, the team opened up, trail-ing
the Braves at the half, 30-34.
Both teams tore into the second
half, fighting hard. They were
tense and the crowd cheered wild-ly
as both teams, in quisk succes-sion
shot and failed to score.
Greenman broke the ice and tied
the game, 40-40.
The Braves then scored a field
goal making their score 42. Sand-berg
and Dischinger each connec-ted
with a freethrow, tieing the
score again. Another basket by
Sioux Falls, followed by a bucket
by Sandberg kept the game tied
44, up.
The Braves scored a free toss in
the last minutes of the third frame
to put them in the lead 44-45.
In the final stanza, the Sioux

Over half the reported hazardous material spills on Long Island after Hurricane Sandy have been reported in Nassau County, according to New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) officials said.
The most up-to-date numbers are: 836 reported spills in Nassau; 1,355 total in Long Island and 2,396 statewide,
DEC spokeswoman Emily DeSantis said, that there are approximately 16 spill response officers working with conttractors in Nassau.
Reporting spills
Where a significant spill has occurred, the owner or operator must report the spill to DEC's Spill Hotline (1-800-457-7362) and use environmental contractors to handle, treat and dispose of such substances properly prior to discharging to the sewer system.
The DEC has contractors that are dispatched to spill sites to cleanup the spills. DEC is prioritizing spill response to remove the most oil and to get individuals cleared for electricity to return. In areas where we respond to a spill at one residence, we also check nearby residences to see if there are spill that have not yet been reported, De Santis said.
As home oil tanks were possibly torn loose from where they were stationed and oils might have spilled out, or boats were damaged during Hurricane Sandy and fuel leaked out, it could ne necessary to report this to the New York State Department of Conservation (DEC).
By law spills must be reported to the DEC unless they meet the following criteria:
The spill is less than five gallons.
The spill is contained and under control.
The spill has not and will not reach the State's water or any land.
The spill is cleaned up within two hours of discovery.
For spills that are deemed non-reportable, the DEC strongly recommends that the incident should be documented and a record of spill be kept for one year.

1990's flash is first on the list. And I have to agree, I wouldn't had minded a second season! It was just starting to hit its' stride at last when it was cancelled.
I loved Reaper, and it left on an evil cliffhanger. Literally.
90's Flash - I agree
Wonderfalls - Never saw
Terra Nova - No, that show was absolutely terrible IMO
Reaper - Meh
Brimstone - Never saw
Point Pleasant - Never saw, but what I heard didn't look like much
Surface - Ehh
Birds of Prey - That had potential but it didn't have a consistent base of what demographic it wanted to pull in. You had wanna-be Canary as the school girl crowd, Catgirl as the sex appeal and Barb for the mature lot. It just didn't work.
Tremorz - No clue on it
Alcatraz - Heard it was great, still need to watch it
SGU - YES YES YES, this should never have been cancelled but neither should have SGA.
90s Flash. 😢 Maybe if it wasn't canceled, JWS wouldn't have gotten stuck with those Dawson's River kids.

As we become increasingly global in our everyday dealings, differences in units of measure become more obvious. The push for U. S. adoption of the metric system has been going on for generations. It will probably never happen — at least officially — because no administration will want to have to force multiple industries to bear the tremendous cost of converting to metric measurements. In fact, I think it would be more likely for an administration to introduce legislation declaring English as the official language of the U.S. — a move that would actually save money by eliminating the costs associated with producing government documents in two languages. Most industries would also benefit from such a move.
I was recently reminded of all this while traveling through New York and Massachusetts. In most states, mile markers on interstate highway exits are numbered according to the preceding mile marker, so it's easy to tell how far it is between exits using simple arithmetic. However, exit numbers on interstate highways in New York and Massachusetts do not coincide with mileage markers — they are simply numbered sequentially, with no regard for mile markers. So if you've just passed exit 15, you have no way of determining how far it is to exit 16 — it could be 5 miles or 55 miles.
Standardizing on exit numbers should be easy and relatively inexpensive — at least compared to switching to the metric system. So if it is so difficult to standardize on exit numbers, it must be wishful thinking to expect governmental endorsement of the metric system in our lifetime.
If we ever do adopt the metric system, I'm sure it will result from the accumulated voluntary actions of individual industries — much like the fluid power industry's adoption of so many useful standards. If so, it would happen the same way you'd eat an elephant — one bite at a time.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles both insisted Thursday that a trade involving quarterback Nick Foles was unlikely. Eagles coach Chip Kelly said that he wanted to coach Foles, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid believed the Eagles liked Foles too much to deal him.
Behind the scenes, the Chiefs at least wanted to find out how serious the Eagles were about their Foles fever.
Mike Garafolo of USA Today reported Saturday that the two teams spoke this week about Foles, but no progress was made toward a deal. The conversation took place after Reid publicly said Foles was "not available."
It appears Reid is right. The Eagles reiterated to the Chiefs that Foles was not available at this time. That possibly could change in the coming weeks with the league year starting March 12. Either the Eagles are trying to gain leverage and not show their hand or they actually mean what they say.
Our guess: Foles unlikely will go anywhere.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

We are a company of people who are passionate about food, nature and aesthetics. We are dedicated to excellence in all we do!
Our gourmet gifts are known for a truly superior taste, artful but simple packaging and pure, high quality ingredients. We blend traditional artisan baking with innovative flavor combinations and we package our gourmet gifts with professional, yet whimsical tone. We think packaging should be as artful, honest and as good as the food.
"You guys have THE BEST brownies I have ever had. I look for excuses to send them to people. I have two girlfriends that are hooked now, and send them to friends and family too. Never again do I have to wonder what to get someone. I love it. I am so hooked."
We choose to make a perishable product without preservatives because we believe in the principles of purity and freshness in food. Our gourmet gifts are always baked from scratch and Kosher.
To the extent possible we make choices in our packaging, production and facilities management that are friendly to the environment.
We try to give back from our modest successes in a variety of ways. Our main philanthropic efforts are devoted to helping homeless families through the Sweet Home Project.
We strive to achieve both financial and market success, while achieving personal and professional rewards for all. There's more to life than selling cookies and brownies - but it's not a bad way to make a living. We believe that if people love what they're doing, it shows in the food. We developed this philosophy from the earliest days when we observed that baking "angry" would ruin a cake.
You'll find us in premier gourmet and specialty food retailers and catalogs throughout the country, and also in bakery sections of some progressive grocery chains. For a comprehensive listing click here.
You can check out the awards, honors and press we've enjoyed. But the best accolades come from the people who enjoy our products. We've put a sampling of our fan mail up in the Feedback section of our Blog.
There were three company founders; a talented baker, Suzanne Lombardi, who originated many of Dancing Deer's recipes, a theoretical physicist/business strategist, Ayis Antoniou, who loves to cook, and a business woman/artist, Trish Karter, whose passion is nature and the environment. All three have moved on, but many of their founding principles still remain with us at Dancing Deer.
Incorporated in April 1994 to provide high quality baked goods to accompany the growing market for gourmet coffee, we started out in a former pizza parlor on a busy street corner with a couple of convection ovens. Our specialty was cakes, sold primarily to cafes and restaurants. In 1996 we brought out a line of packaged consumer goods under the Dancing Deer label. Not long after that we opened the doors to passers by who demanded access and forced us in to having a small retail operation.
We surprised ourselves, and a lot of other people, when we won the Food Industry's equivalent of the "Oscars" in 1997 for our Molasses Clove Cookie. That same year, a food writer from (no kidding) Hollywood arrived at our counter looking for directions. Before we could really comprehend what was happening, Dancing Deer was on national TV being touted as making the "best cake in America". We had managed to have a toll free number up and running within 24 hours of receiving his call, and thus our mail order business was launched. Many more awards and honors have followed.
It has been an interesting journey. Our successes are due to luck, a tremendous amount of dedication and hard work, and a commitment to having fun while being true to our principles. We have had failures as well - and survived them with a sense of humor.
The company's namesake was the antique shop in Bar Harbor, Maine run by Suzanne Lombardi's grandmother, from whose recipe box also came the origins of Dancing Deer's signature Deep Dark Gingerbread Cake.

Enterprise Risk Management
Getting you started (or keeping you going) with your ERM program
Easy as 1... 2... 3!
1 - Establish your ERM group (panel, committee) - or have an existing group take responsibility for ERM
Generic Panel Nomination Letter (doc)
Need a champion to help you get this started? Contact Cheryl Lloyd at (510) 987-9829 or email Cheryl for assistance.
2 - Write your charter
3 - Develop a Work Plan
(Plans may be used in conjunction with, or independent of, each other)
- Plan 1: Based on the COSO Framework Sample Work Plan (doc)
- Environment/Objective Setting: describe the "Tone at the Top", Organizational Objectives, and the ERM Initiative Goals
- Event Identification/Risk Assessment: Describe how you are going to recognize and catalogue internal and external events that could impact achieving objectives and how you will assess them
- Risk Response/Control Activities: Develop plan that assists individual units and key owner's of processes to identify and assess risk and develop action plans to mitigate the identified risk
- Information & Communication: Describe how information will be communicated throughout the organization
- Monitoring: Develop measures for monitoring risks and key controls and communicate findings on an ongoing basis
- Plan 2: Based on Supporting Objectives and Strategic Goals of Your Organization – that still encompasses the COSO Framework – Sample Strategic Goal Plan (doc)
- Define the Organizations Strategic Goals and Objectives: a Strategic Plan is likely to have been completed by your organization, so the primary initial action required by the ERM group is to ensure that they understand the goals and objectives, and can correctly articulate them and communicate them
- Develop a survey process: to examine individual unit's goals, objectives and operating plan to determine if they support your organizations goals and objectives. – Sample Survey (doc)
- Identify the Risks: Identify individual units' risk that might stop them from meeting their goals and objectives.
- Identify the controls and develop mitigation plans: Identify how the risks are currently managed and how they might be improved.
- Monitor: With the unit establish an ongoing risk management program.

Started in 1989
Brainstorm (aka Tormentem) and Devious – formerly with Dj Vame pioneers of the Campbelltown Hip-Hop movement, tearimg up stages across Australia alongside Def Wish Cast, Capital Punishment, Finger Lickin' Good (Groove Terminator) and Intense Quality (Reason). Upon the verge of launching both their new album, and their lost tapes compilation, 046 have released the final copies of the 1995 classic "L.I.F.E". This is not a newly made re-release, but the final copies that had been held for safe keeping, making this your last chance to grab this defining moment in Australian Hip-Hop history. 046 "L.I.F.E." is available now through Hardcore Classicdistribution. Ex-DEF WISH CAST member DJ VAME appeared behind the decks on CAPITAL PUNISHMENTs "Sentenced 2 Def" six song tape, as well as on Campbelltown locals 046 (named after their area code) thirteen track CD "Life" released in 1995 – from Campbelltown 046 – LIFE CD – Ultra rare piece of Australian Hip-Hop history!!Released in 1995, the album is produced by DJ Vame (Def Wish Cast, Cannibal Tribe). Unused. A vital item for any Australian Hip-Hop collector!
Forming in 1989 as a seven man crew, and named after the regional telephone code for Sydney's Southwest, 046 is best known as the Claymore based duo, consisting of Brainstorm (aka Tormentem) and Devious. The crew emerged alongside the forefathers of Australian Hip-Hop – such as Just Us and Def Wish Cast, and featured in numerous Australia wide tours and shows.
These connections brought about the production hook-up with Def Wish Cast member DJ Vame. The result was the 1995 album "L.I.F.E" (Legends In Full Effect). This was hardcore Hip Hop to it's full. Vame's rough production partnered with the lyricists raw delivery captured an energy and spirit rarely heard in today's 'safe' Hip-Hop. The album put Campbelltown on the Australian /hip-Hop map, and influenced numerous younger emerging artists from the region.

With Vame's production, 046 became part of the larger Dope Runner crew alongside Capital Punishment. As a collective, Vame released the compilation/album "Australiaz Most Wanted" with assistant production by Nayss. The compilation featured remixes from the albums "LIFE" and "Sentenced II Def", as well as fresh new tracks including the classic 046 and Capital Punishment collaboration, titled "VOS".
After numerous tours and shows around the country, the duo began work on a follow up album with DJ ASK(West Side Posse/Renegade Funktrain) on production. To be title "Retaliation", the project was unexpectedly cut short when ASK was drawn overseas to tour with Renegade Funktrain. With the album unmixed and indefinitely on hold, differences saw the duo spilt, and Tormentum began a long struggle with cancer. While the two stayed close, 046 was no more, and the two began appearing as soloists.
In the late 90s, Tormentum appeared on the "Hidden Treasure" compilation with a song titled "Suspects". The Vame produced track featured Tormentum and original 046 member, Son of Mad Dog, as the duo Gung Ho, and included the first released verse by Raw the Cannibal, under the name The Cannibal Tribe. The Tribe returned the favour when Tormentum appeared for the track "Remedy" on their 1999 album "Misery", while earlier, they collaborated on the cut "The Last Run" for the "Basic Equipment" soundtrack.
Devious began work in Hip-Hop workshops around the Campbelltown area, passing on his skills as one of Sydney's most talented b-boys – and featured on the community project CD "Cam(p)belltown" with his solo cut "Atcha" produced by Elee B.
In 2003, the crew has returned, with 046 officially back in the studio working on a new album with production by Thomas Rock. But first, 046 are set to drop a collection of lost, and rare recordings – featuring their cuts from "Australiaz Most Wanted" and newly mastered "Retaliation". The new collection is out soon through Hardcore Classic distribution.
Extras:
– In September 1994, 046 were featured in the ABC documentary "Growin' Up Fast", which compared the difference between young Thrash-metal and Hip-Hop artists.
– 046 also featured on the compilation, "Angels Exit"

Jonathan Nossiter's new book was released in France today. (Taste and Power or as French Amazon has it listed as...Mondovino: The Book.).
I've been immersed in my own book cover debate, as a result I have been obsessed with the symbolism and power of other wine book cover art.
Yes, it nicely recalls the clouds from the Mondovino image. Now, look at his name, placed like cojones on either side of the tumescent wine glass' stem? An accident?
The wine journal, Decanter, wrote on their site that Nossiter gives it to everyone--and especially Parker. And as a result, (thank you Tyler for alerting me) Mr. Robert M. Parker Jr. ripped a characteristically snarky tirade.
Get this snippet that he posted on his website eBob.com.
"It is Nossiter and his ilk (call them the scary wine gestapo) chanting the same stupid hymn that demand wines be produced in only one narrow style.....but bring on the suckers and fools....some one will certainly buy into his propaganda as they did that migraine-inducing disingenuous...."
The entry visible to all on his ebob website is a rant. Now, I rant, but I do try to stay away from name calling. So in the middle of this, wanting to crunch a proper behavioral analysis of Bob, a press release and hold further forth on the Nossiter book, something popped into my email box and blew my focus. The press release is a pretty good example of why I hate this whole GREEN thing in wineries and so Nossiter and Parker will have to wait.
+++The new Langtry Vineyard Tour Program gives visitors the opportunity to customize their visit to Langtry Estate by selecting from two different tour options that focus on the vineyards, the history of the property and the wines. This is the first time that the winery has offered property tours. Guests will ride in battery-operated Global Electric Motorcars during the tour. The vehicles are a clean, green transportation alternative.+++
Wine is becoming so Disney-esque.
Are we supposed to assume that because they go electric in cars they go natural in wine? Perhaps. However, it's not the case.
And that's also why this organic thing gets under my skin.
But that's another rant for another time. After all, as Mr. Parker might say about me and my "ilk," part of the scary wine gestapo.
That's almost as good as the Terroir Jihadists.

As some of you may know from past columns, I'm an avid gardener. To me there's nothing like planting seed and turning it into a lush garden.
This year I again planted some 40 feet of corn four rows deep. The crazy part is that I do it just to watch it grow. I harvest virtually nothing because it's ornamental. I also planted sunflowers, carrots, pumpkins, watermelons, tomatoes and marigolds to ward off the insects that in the past have wreaked havoc on the tomatoes. I paid $10 for a rhubarb plant that lasted all of one week in the hot Colorado sun.

We dined at the new East Hampton Grill the other night, and, from beginning to end, it was a very nice experience. The arrival of the Hillstone Restaurant chain was a much-talked-about, much-dreaded occurrence for our community. "Houston's is moving into Della Femina's!" cried the Chicken Littles. Well, fear not. The East Hampton Grill is a very good restaurant with a cheery, professional staff and delicious food.
The decor is no longer pale and chic. It is darker. There is dark, charcoal-gray carpeting on the floor. There is a divider between the bar and the dining room decorated with lamps and dark books. A 35-star Civil War flag dominates one wall, along with an interesting painting of a rooster. The caricatures of Jerry Della Femina and Judy Licht have indeed been kept as homage to the original owners, but they have been relegated to a spot above the swinging doors to the brightly lit kitchen.
The mission statement online of the East Hampton Grill states that "following in the tradition of our other restaurants in Palm Beach and Napa Valley, East Hampton Grill offers a locally inspired menu and wine list." Well, I'm sorry, but so far this couldn't be further from the truth. Dover sole, Amish chicken, artichokes, shrimp, and salmon aren't exactly local. Aha, there are oysters on the menu; they could be local! I inquired, and was informed they were from the West Coast. The wine list does, however, include quite a few North Fork selections, so props for that.
There are gobs of establishments under the Hillstone umbrella: Houston's, Gulfstream, Bandera, R and D, Hillstone, and the various Grills in California (Rutherford, Los Altos, Beverly Hills), Palm Beach, Fla., Cherry Creek, Colo., Bethesda, Md., and now East Hampton. The company is based in Los Angeles, but many of the menu items have more of a Southern twist: biscuits, ribs, succotash, deviled eggs, Key lime pie.
We began our meal with biscuits, grilled artichokes, deviled eggs, and the crab-cake salad. The biscuits were excellent, flecked with rosemary and served with honey and butter. The grilled artichokes were also great, beautifully charred, a generous portion, and served with a zesty dipping sauce, not quite a Creole remoulade, but perfect with the artichokes. Offering deviled eggs as a side dish cracks me up. We had to try them. We all agreed they were delicious, just enough mayo, tiny bits of chopped celery, and perfectly seasoned. The crab-cake salad was also excellent. One big, well-crisped, extremely crabby crab cake was served with grapefruit sections, chunks of ripe avocado, a few greens, some kernels of corn, red onion, and a Champagne vinaigrette.
For entrees we ordered the barbecued ribs, the "nice little house salad," French dip sandwich, and Atlantic cod. The ribs were superb, smoky and tender. The hand-cut fries were delicate shoestrings, and they were excellent as well. We assumed the "nice little house salad" would be the simple green mesclun arrangement you see everywhere nowadays (not that there's anything wrong with that). In fact, it was a creative mixture of greens with tomatoes, croutons, goat cheese, radicchio, and walnuts.
When is the last time you saw a French dip sandwich on a menu? When it's good, it's great, and this one was. Served on a soft ciabatta roll, thin, tender, and rare slices of roast beef were served with a jus (which was a bit more like concentrated bouillon) and a spicy horseradish sauce.
The only dud was the Atlantic cod. It tasted more like black cod, which is fattier and slippery. The sticky rice served alongside had a bit too much mirin or sweetened rice vinegar for our taste. We also ordered a side of sautéed spinach which was laden with a lot of shaved parmesan cheese.
The tables are set with sprigs of lilies and Guerande sea salt, a nice, upscale touch. However, when you ask for mustard, they give you the canary-yellow French's-type stuff, not Dijon. The staff, imported from states afar, California and Florida, are charming, smiling, and professional. Some have the super-tanned skin, mega-blond hair, and blindingly white teeth that come with those territories. Our waitress was a delight, and her recommendations for wine to go with our eclectic entrees was wise.
There were only two choices for desserts, Key lime pie and an ice cream sundae. Both were very good. The Key lime pie had a fresh, homemade graham cracker crust and flecks of lime zest throughout the filling. The ice cream sundae used a premium brand of vanilla ice cream and had a nice, old-fashioned fudge sauce, whipped cream, and chopped bits of candied walnuts.
Appetizers and salads are $1 (for a pair of biscuits) to $19, entrees are $18 to $42, sides are $7, desserts are $9.
So we all feared the chain restaurant moving in to replace one of our finest East End restaurants. You know what? We've already survived the Intermixes, the Chico's, the Tumi's, and, yes, even the 7-Elevens. The times they are a-changin'. So I say, embrace the change . . . I mean chain. It's not so bad. As a matter of fact, it's very, very good.


text: 2013 Outlook: Wheat Prices to Tag Along with Corn November 4, 2012 11:00 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Editor's Note: For seven weeks, AgWeb.com is taking a look at experts' projections for a variety of commodities in 2013. Today, experts Ed Usset and Brian Williams reflect on this year's wheat crop and share their expectations for the future. Tell me a bit about yourself and your role at your university. Why is wheat a commodity that interests you? Usset: I am a grain marketing specialist for the University of Minnesota. I spent the first dozen years of my career as a wheat buyer for several major flour mills–wheat is a much more interesting commodity than corn or soybeans. Williams: I am an assistant extension professor at Mississippi State University. My primary specialty is commodity marketing, specifically for corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum and cattle. In addition to commodity marketing, I also work on farm management, production economics and some policy. One of the biggest reasons that I am interested in the commodities I cover, including wheat, is because I grew up around them. I was born and raised on a farm in Nebraska where my parents grew each of the commodities I cover. I think the best way to summarize why I cover wheat is that wheat played an important part of shaping me into who I am. How would you characterize this year's wheat crop and the market for the commodity, both in the U.S. and globally? What, if anything, surprised you? Usset: I am not a traditional supply and demand analyst (other respondents will do a better job of an "inside baseball" look at the numbers worldwide). I know that wheat supplies worldwide are paring back and that in general, the balance of supply and demand is becoming much more interesting. One note of interest: a high quality and high protein crop has cut protein premiums to almost nothing. There are days at the MGEX that 15% protein wheat trades at a discount to 13% protein. This is not unprecedented, but it is uncommon (it happens about one in 10 years). It stands out because over the past three years (particularly with the 2009 and 2010 HRS crops), it was not uncommon for there to be a $2/bu. premium from 13% to 15% protein. Williams: Both total wheat production and consumption in the U.S. are lower this year. Wheat only saw a small hit in yields as a result of the drought when compared to other crops with average yields 2.6 bu/acre lower this year than last. A good portion of the wheat crop matured before the drought took hold in the Midwest, minimizing the drought's impact on yield. While wheat disappearance for food and seed are slightly higher than last year's totals, exports saw a sharp decline. Feed and residual use is seeing significant growth going into next year. Much of the increase can be attributed to higher corn prices due to this summer's drought causing wheat to become a feasible alternative to corn. Globally, wheat production did not fare as well. Wheat production is projected to be lower in Russia, Australia and the European Union as drought persists in each of these regions. Global wheat use is also projected to be lower. Walk me through your wheat forecast for 2013. What should producers, sellers and buyers know now about the market? What can they do to be better prepared for the year ahead? Usset: While the old crop supply/demand balance is more interesting (read "bullish"), wheat direction will be heavily influenced by trends in the corn market. If corn prices decide to take a major step back over the next six months, wheat prices will have a difficult time rising. By the way, I am more bullish than bearish on old crop corn prices over the next six months. Basis in corn (and, I suspect, wheat) will be high and swing wildly until the start of summer. While I sound bullish, wheat prices for 2013 are appealing. I hope wheat producers have wrapped their mind around early pricing opportunities for 2013 delivery. Williams: There are several factors to watch for in 2013. The biggest factor in terms of wheat supply is to watch the drought situation on a global basis. Australia has seen some relief lately, but it looks like it is too late to have much of an impact on the current crop. In terms of the U.S., much of South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas are still in an extreme drought. Rain and snow over the winter and into the spring will play a vital role in determining wheat production in 2013. Well over 80% of the winter wheat crop has been planted already, so upcoming USDA reports on planted acres should provide a good estimate of how much wheat has been planted. In terms of prices, the USDA's most recent estimate is $7.65 to $8.55/bushel, but as of October 31 the Kansas City July 2013 futures price for wheat was $9.12/bu. My understanding is that there are several key types of wheat, some of which are in greater supply than others this year. Break down the major wheat types grown in the U.S. and talk about the market year ahead. Will there be any significant changes over this year? Usset: There are six major classes: hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, soft white wheat, durum and hard white wheat. Substitution of classes and blending is the norm in the wheat milling industry. This is what makes trading wheat so much more interesting than corn or soybeans. Williams: There are five main types of wheat grown in the U.S.: hard red winter, hard red spring, soft red winter, soft white, and durum. Hard red winter wheat is the most common type with a USDA estimate of 1,004 million bushels produced in the 2012-13 crop year, which is up from 780 in 2011-12. Hard red winter wheat is grown mostly in the plains states from Texas to Montana. This year's crop saw an increase in supply as a result of improvements in the 2011 drought in Texas and Oklahoma. Soft red winter wheat production is estimated by the USDA to be 420 million bushels and is grown mostly in the Corn Belt and the Mississippi River Delta. This estimate is down from 457 million bushels in 2011-12. Hard red spring wheat is grown in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana and accounts for an estimated 505 million bushels in 2012-13, up from 398 million bushels in 2011-12. Soft white wheat is grown in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho with a USDA estimate of 237 million bushels, which is down from last year. Durum wheat production is estimated to be at 82 million bushels and is grown mostly in North Dakota. The 2012-13 production is estimated to be significantly higher than the 50 million bushels produced in 2011-12. One presentation I heard recently suggested that if wheat production doesn't increase substantially, supplies of certain kinds of wheat could drop below the 90-day supply threshold. Is this a serious risk? If so, what would that mean for commodity prices? Usset: Wheat is a food grain, and no other grains are a serious substitute for wheat in the world market. Corn is a feed grain with many substitutes (including wheat–wheat, I believe, is the second most commonly fed grain in the world) in the world market. As such, wheat prices tend to be more sensitive to tight stocks situations. Examples: In the last two years (and this year), the carryout situation in corn was tight–about 1 month of usage remaining at year-end. Corn prices have roughly doubled. In 2007-08, the carryout in wheat fell to less than 2 months, but wheat prices surged to $20/bu. or more in HRS–prices tripled or quadrupled. Wheat is more sensitive to a tricky supply-and-demand balance. Williams: While it is possible for stocks to drop below the 90-day supply threshold, I do not foresee any serious shortages. Before we see a shortage, prices will rise enough that demand will be reduced, most likely in the form of lower exports. The market has a tendency to regulate demand enough to prevent any serious risks, so I believe that the potential of a shortage has already been built into the current wheat prices. Do you expect wheat production levels to remain constant going into next year? Are there any factors that might spur reduced production or higher production? Usset: The challenge for wheat is in competing grains, namely corn and soybeans. Look at the expansion of corn and soybean acres in the western Corn Belt, primarily North and South Dakota, and in Kansas. It is simple economics. What would you prefer to produce: 50-bushel wheat worth $8/bu., or 120-bu. corn worth $6/bu.? The same math goes for 35-bu. beans at $13/bu. Williams: Assuming no changes in expected growing conditions between now and next year, wheat production should be up for the 2012-13 crop year. An additional 1.3 million acres of wheat is expected to be planted next year, with the majority of the winter wheat already in the field. I don't think we will see much of a change in the expected acreage for next year. The one factor that we always have to keep an eye on is the weather. If the drought in the Midwest and Southern Plains persists or worsens, yields could be reduced and harvested acres will be lower. On the other hand, if we see more moisture this winter and spring, we will likely see increased yields and higher production. What other comments would you like to make? Usset: The above shows why the wheat market has a friendly tone for prices. As good as wheat prices are, in the months ahead, analysts will focus on the incentive to plant more corn and soybeans in 2013. Williams: I think the main thing to keep in mind looking into the next year is that Mother Nature will play a major role in determining what the wheat crop will look like next year. A perfect example of how the weather impacts our outlook on a particular crop can be found in corn this last year. At planting time, growing conditions looked favorable, and we were expecting a record corn crop. As the summer progressed, the Midwest was hit hard by a drought, and we are now seeing the smallest corn crop since 2006. We could see the same thing with wheat, but on the other hand we could see very favorable conditions and have a great crop, as well. Ultimately, weather is the wildcard in determining exactly what next year's wheat crop will look like. Back to news
