Saucesational: An Experiment in Applesauce–Honeycrisp
WOW! All I can say about this is wow!
So, I peeled, cored, and sliced the most popular apple in our orchard – the Honeycrisp. And I put the slices in the crock pot on low for a few hours. Now folks LOVE to eat this apple. I'll admit – I think it's good but I like a lot of different varieties too. It is an expensive apple though so we haven't cooked with it much. But – I had to sauce it so I could let you all know what would happen.
The sauce was chunky, juicy, and DELICIOUS! It was super, super good applesauce! It is definitely ranked at the top of my personal sauce list! WOW! Now, with the way they cooked I would say they would be great in a crisp or as sauce. Hmmm…I'm thinking I may even try them with our Taffy Apple Cake mix… BUT I personally would not used them in a pie. They are just so juicy I think a crust may have a hard time not getting soggy. But as a sauce – seriously – WOW!
Apple-Palooza 2013
When? Sunday, October 27th
Where? Lapacek's Orchard
Apple Pie ContestThe Apple Pie Contest is an event that is here to stay at Lapacek's Orchard. The first year, 20 pies were entered and the second year our judges had to try 24 pies. We're hoping for even more pies this year!
The judges will decide winners for – Best Pie Overall and three runner ups, Most Creative Pie, and Prettiest Pie. The entire event is meant to be fun so I hope you decide to 'throw your pie' in the ring and give it a go!
If you ware interested in baking a pie for the contest please send me an email: {lapaceksorchard at gmail dot com} with your name and pie baking story (if you have one – if you don't have a story, no worries). Plan on arriving at the orchard by 12:45pm with your pie. Pie viewing and photo's will take place at 1:00pm and judging will start at 1:30pm.
Once judging is complete - I'm guessing around 3:00ish... we'll be cutting all the pies up into slices and selling them for $1 a slice. 100% of the money made from the apple pie slice sales will go to the PAD Parent Group towards the new playground in the Poynette School District. Food Fight Restaurant Group is once again sponsoring our Pie Contest! More details to come!
Old-Fashioned Cider Pressing Demo:
"Come Squeeze Our Apples"Jared will once again be demonstrating how we used to press our apples to make cider with an old fashioned wood cider press. These demo's will take place at 10:30am, 12:30pm and 2:30pm and will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
We were unable to have this as part of our event last year due to the poor apple crop but it's a definite go this season.
Carved Pumpkin Contest
During the first Apple-Palooza, in 2011, we discovered that there's quite a bit of standing around while the pies get judged. We're going to have a 'Carved Pumpkin Contest'. People of all ages can bring their carved pumpkin – anytime before 12:45, put it on display and then we'll all walk by and vote for our personal favorite! I'll have a prize for the best carved pumpkin – still to be determined. If you come in costume – you'll get a treat! (My biggest sadness about living in the country is that no one trick-or-treats out here…we go and steal a neighborhood so my kids can though…).
Rock 'N' Wool Acres: A Wisconsin WineryOur cousin, Shaun Lapacek, will be talking a bout the winery he and his father have opened up in Poynette - Rock N Wool Acres.
Hard Cider Info Booth
Our good friend Jay Walters will have a booth set up from NOON to 3pm to talk about and answer your questions on how to make hard cider. Jay has been doing this for years and we have helped drink and enjoy many of his products for years - this guy knows what he's talking about!

Pie Judges WANTED!So…the big news with this post is that we're looking for some apple pie judges to fill in a few vacant spots. A couple of our previous judges have prior obligations for October 27th and will be unable to judge again this year. That's where you come in…Do you want to be an apple pie judge? Here's your chance! You must be able to commit to be at the orchard from 1:00pm until the judging is complete.
I'm now accepting applications for judges. I will then post your answers online and we'll let our followers decide who they want to judge the pies! I'm not 100% sure how many judges I need yet but I know at least two spots our open.
To get your name in the hat for being an apple pie judge email me at lapaceksorchard{at}gmail{dot}com with answers to the following questions:
Contact Info (phone number, email):
Have you ever judged a pie and/or food contest before?
Why do you think you'd be a good apple pie judge?
What is your favorite thing about eating pie?

What qualities do you look for in a good pie?
Do you believe you could be a 'fair and unbiased' pie judge?
Anything else you'd like to share with the voters about your pie judging dreams?
Apple Orphan's
It's not a secret that we're busy during apple season. It's also not a secret that we have three little girls. We are so fortunate to have a network of amazing family, friends, and neighbors, that help look after, watch out for, play, chauffer, and entertain our kiddo's when Jared and I are just too busy. BUT we still love to make time for the kids when we can – even it means they have to help us doing orchard things. Cedi's pretty decent at picking apples and really amazing at helping with Pip, Capri is amazing at picking pints of baby tomatoes, and Pip, well, Pip is 2.
The other morning, Papa (aka Jared) let her help him sort apples. She was supposed to look for bad spots and if there were some put it in the bushel behind her. If not, the bushel on her right. She did okay…Papa had to remind her every once in awhile that she needed to be looking for bad spot. Overall, it was just an adorable moment I was lucky enough to witness between father and daughter.
Since she did such a good job, we rewarded her with an apple cider donut and had her 'snuggle' up to the giant 'Jumbo' apple.
Lapacek's Orchard Coffee Mugs
The rumors are true! We now offer our very own Lapacek's Orchard Cider/Tea/Coffee Mugs!
These mugs were handmade by Deneen Pottery in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm a HUGE fan of supporting handmade and am so happy to have found these! We are offering them this year in red and kiwi green. If they all sell…I'll be ordering more in other styles so…get yours while they're here!
Cabbage and Apple Salad
APPLES! APPLES! APPES! COOKING WITH APPLES is the second cookbook I found the other night.. Definitely some interesting looking recipes in here…
I'll post the picture of the cookbook each recipe is coming from on my Sunday posts.
Cabbage and Apple Salad
1 pkg. lemon Jell-o
4 tsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C shredded cabbage
1 c. diced apples
1/4 C. chopped sweet pickle
Dissolve Jell-o in 1 pt. hot water. Add the vinegar and salt. Chill until slightly thickened then fold in the cabbage, apples, and sweet pickle. Mold and chill. Serves 6.
Saucesational: An Experiment in Applesauce–Crimson Crisp
The Crimson Crisp is another new variety in our shop this year. It seems to me that the majority of the people that sample them end up buying a bag.
They are a very firm, crisp apple with a tart, rich flavor.
I peeled, cored, and sliced the apples and put them into my slow cooker. These crimson crisp turned into a smooth sauce that was slightly tart. The sauce tasted decent but there was not a super amount of flavor. Again – I would definitely recommend mixing these apples with another sauce to help deepen the flavor after the apples are cooked.
It's JUMBO time!
Jared and I went and picked the largest apples that we grow at our orchard today – the Jumbo's. If we thinned the tree's properly we could grow apples up to 2.5 lbs. This was the biggest one that we had…above I have a photo of it next to a quarter.
As you can see it only weighs in at 1.6 lbs.
Cedi, Pip and my mom actually enjoyed half of one of these with their dinner. It is a juicy, tart apple. Just a couple of these would be al you need to make one pie! We only have 1 bushel total of these this 2013 season so stop in ASAP if you want to give them a try!
Saucesational: An Experiment in Applesauce–Smokehouse
One of our newer varieties, the Smokehouse, is next up for saucing experiment.
The Smokehouse apple is only new to us. It is considered an heirloom variety apple that was discovered in Pennsylvania in 1837. It's flesh is crisp, yellowish, and moderately fine grained. It is a good quality cooking, eating and baking apple.
Let's see how it sauced!
I peeled, cored, and sliced the apples and put them into my little crock pot. A few hours later I had applesauce!
The smokehouse kept there shape when cooked and made a chunky textured sauce. The color was slightly brown once cooked.
I felt that the sauce lacked the great flavor the fresh apple had. That being said I think it would do really well mixed with a tarter apple for sauce. I definitely would recommend this one.
The Big Wolf River
The picture on the left is our daughter Capri in 2009 (age 1.5) with a wolf river apple. The picture on the right was taken this year (5.5) with a wolf river apple. They are BIG this year!
My father-in-law just brought in a HUGE Gala – bigger than we've ever seen. We're also finding some monstrous cortland's and NW Greening's this year. It's pretty cool to find the big ones and it makes picking a bit easier with the crates filling up quickly.
Raspberry Scones
Raspberry Scones
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
4 Tbsp. cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 cup fresh raspberries
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 Tbsp. vanilla sugar
5-Seed Applesauce Bread
Don't be intimidated by the long ingredient list. It's an easy recipe to pull together.
I pre-sliced the bread and flash froze the loaves, so we just grab a slice or two when we need it for a lunch or snack.
5-Seed Applesauce Bread
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1 Tbsp. flax seeds
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
1 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1/3 cup pecans, roughly chopped
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 eggs
1 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease two 8" loaf pans, and set aside. Roughly chop the sunflower, pumpkin and flax seeds. (You can also use a coffee grinder to pulse the flax to crack the seeds.) Place in a large bowl.
Add the chopped pecans, flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Stir together, and set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk the oil and applesauce together until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking each well. Whisk in the honey and vanilla. Finally, whisk in the buttermilk.
Stir the dry mixture into the wet, stirring just until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Divide evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Makes 2 loaves.
Apple Butter Bundt Cake
the big fat red juicy Apple Cook Book.
I rediscovered this cookbook the other night (and one other) and found some really 'interesting' sounding recipe's in it. Since this blog started out with a new recipe every Sunday – I think this apple season I'm going to post a new 'old' recipe every Sunday.
Apple Butter Bundt Cake
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1/2 C finely chopped nuts
1 C peeled, diced apples
1 C dairy sour cream
1/3 C apple butter (available at Lapacek's Orchard)
4 eggs
1 C chopped nuts
2 T brown sugar
2 t cinnamon
1 C powdered sugar
2-3 T apple butter
Blend all cake ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Pour 1/3 of batter in prepared bundt pan; sprinkle with 1/2 the filling; and repeat these two layers. Cover with remaining batter. Bake at 325 degrees, 50-55 minutes. Cool in pan and invert on serving plate. Spoon glaze over cake.
Saucesational: An Experiment in Applesauce–Jonamac
The Jonamac is a high quality McIntosh-type dessert apple. Firm and crisp. McIntosh x Jonathan; Developed by the NY State Agricultural Experiment Station, introduced in 1972.
Many customers really enjoy this 'sharp' tasting macintosh. The jonamac tend to be smaller apples which is perfect for snacking or lunches.
I peeled, cored, and sliced up my jonamac apples and put them into my mini crock pot. A few stirs and hours later I had some delicious sauce. It cooked down into pretty much mush. The sauce was much sweeter than I expected it to be – I really enjoyed it. I made the Jonamac at the same time I made the wealthy and I preferred the jonamac sauce where Jared preferred the tarter Wealthy sauce.
chocolate raspberry sauce brownies
Be prepared – this is beyond delicious. You may not want to read any farther…You've been warned.
Bake up a box of your favorite Brownie mix per box instructions. I actually doubled the batch because Uncle Bob was here for lunch and I know he loves desserts.
Poke holes in the top of the brownies…I used a knife. A fork would work too.Take a jar of Lapacek's Orchard's 'Chocolate Raspberry Spread.Pour it over the brownies. If you do a single batch, half the jar would work fine…I used the entire thing since I doubled the batch.
Let the brownies cool and sauce seep into them.
Cut and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
"My" Orchard
Twice this week I've heard stories of people referring to our orchard, Lapacek's Orchard, as 'my' orchard. I can't even tell you how happy this makes me to hear.
One story was of a shy little boy who is in school for the very first time and he heard his teacher saying they would be taking a field trip to Lapacek's Orchard. He blurted right out in front everyone, "That's MY Orchard!" excited as can be to share the fun with his newly found friends.
photo taken by Friends in Photography
The second was a friend of ours was at work and him and his co-workers were discussing apple orchards… They go to a different orchards than ours and he said, "Oh, you have to check out my orchard!" and proceeded to tell them where we were located and all about what we offer.
These stories make me so happy to hear! I love that what we've created out here on our apple orchard makes our customers feel as if they are a part of it – that's just what we want! I also truly believe that's how we made it through the losses of last year and it's what makes me happy to go to work everyday. Without our amazing customers we wouldn't be what we are.
What about our orchard makes you feel as if it is YOUR orchard? I would love to hear more stories!
Saucesational: An Experiment in Applesauce–Wealthy
Yesterday I took a few minutes to sauce up some Wealthy apples. Wealthy's are a striped red fruit with a tart balanced flavor. It is a multi-purpose apple, but especially good for cooking. Keeps well. Cherry Crab x Sops of Wine
We have quite a few customers that come in and are really grateful that we grow wealthy's. It's their FAVORITE apple for making pies and/or sauce. I just had a lady come in today who's mother used to make her drive to a random orchard hours from her home to buy wealthy's…and then she discovered that we grew them.
The wealthy apple was also the apple I featured this week for the folks that signed up for our apple share through the Burr Oak Garden CSA.
Anyway – I peeled, cored and sliced the wealthy's and tossed them into the mini slow cooker. The apples became slightly brown right away. I noticed that they stayed this color even when they were done cooking so the sauce was sort of a light brownish looking color.
The apples mushed up somewhat and remained slightly chunky. I like this kind of texture in my applesauce. I felt that the wealthy's had a unique tart flavor. I can understand why if people like this flavor they would want it for their baking apples. I personally was not a huge fan of the sauce – too tart for me. But Jared tried it too and enjoyed the flavor.
Yoga in the Orchard–Saturday Morning
Yoga Anywhere!
Tammy from Circle of Stones Wellness and Yoga Therapy will be coming to the orchard to set up a Yoga Anywhere class for adults, kids, families, etc! It will be an easy and gentle class so anyone can participate. Tammy will provide blankets and straps that are best on the grass so just bring yourselves!
The class costs - whatever you want to donate and/or can afford. ($5 to $15/person is pretty typical)
I'm excited about this and I'm pretty sure Cedi and Capri will love it too!
We have a facebook event started so be sure to help spread the news about this great event

Cedi and Capri – August 2013 – what a difference a few months and haircuts make!
Since I've last shopped the Matilda Jane Trunk – two new releases of clothing lines have come out! I'm so excited to have Nicole from Waunakee come to the orchard and showcase the special trunk this Saturday at the orchard! She'll be here, at the orchard, from 11 to 3! Great clothing for women and children! Nicole loves when people try on the Matilda Jane clothing so don't be shy! I have yet to see someone not smiling when they're in their MJ!
Can't make it on Saturday? No worries! Check out the collection online: https://www.matildajaneclothing.com/ and place your order by emailing Nicole at: email@example.com!
The Francis Charles Addition
I've been hearing a lot of 'WOW! This place is different!' and 'WOW! You guys have been busy.' as people walk into the store this season. Yes – we put on an addition – or more correctly Jared and Frank put on an addition. So…here's the story of what we did:
Between the 2012 and 2013 apple season we put up an addition the store. We just felt it was time to make it a bit roomier and easier to get around on those busy September and October Weekends.
The Amish came down for three days and helped Frank and Jared put up the steel portion of the addition. Then, Frank (aka Francis Charles) hauled up saw logs from various trees on his property to have the Amish for them to cut into boards. Jared and Frank used this wood to cover the interior walls of the shed.
Jared stopped at the Restore Shop in Madison to find the windows we needed to make the addition nice and bright.
Frank also had a building on another property with a mezzanine that wasn't being used. All of the materials used to create the loft in the addition were repurposed from the unused mezzanine. At this point the loft is meant to be a safe place for our three girls to play, study and relax during the busy days of apple season.
Meade Construction Company out of Lodi came and poured the concrete floors to finish the addition.
An overhang also now connects the two shed. We have some translucent roofing in to let the light in and help create a 'magic apple fairy walkway' feel (remember…we have three little girls…everything revolves around fairies). This way, if it's raining, there's still a place to hang out comfortably while you enjoy playing with the kitties or eating your caramel apples.
We hope you like the changes we made and that your visit to the orchard is a little less hectic because of it.
A view of the addition looking from the goat/chicken/rabbit area…
Photo Booth Fun!
Here are some great pictures our customers/visitors snapped at our photo booth!

Tromboncino Squash
What are those?
We have these weird looking squash that we grew this year called a Tromboncino Squash. Many folks think they are a gourd but they're actually a delicious summer squash.
I like to slice them up and steam them for a few minutes. They are savory and almost butter-y tasting without adding a thing. You can also slice them up and enjoy them fresh in some dip or sauté them like you would any summer squash.
Of course, I googled Tromboncino Squash to find out a bit more. They can be picked anywhere from a few inches in size to their full length of 3 feet. Right now we're enjoying them fresh but if we leave to fully mature on the vine we can also enjoy them as a winter squash. I'm excited to try them this way this winter too!
Saucesational: An Experiment in Applesauce - Akane
We were able to have a few of yet another new variety of apples to this orchard this season. Hopefully next season we'll have even more so more folks can get a bag (or two). The Akane is one of the parents of the popular Sansa. It's a nice, crisp early apple with a sweet, tart flavor. The feedback from our customers/apple eaters was this is definitely going to be a good apple.
Diane saved a few of the more damaged ones and I was able to make it into some sauce for my Saucesational Experiment.
I peeled, cored and sliced the akane's up and piled them full into my mini crock pot. They kept their shape for quite awhile in the heat but all of a sudden I came to stir them and they were done! The cooked down pretty smooth but I almost felt the texture was slightly flaky.
Jared really liked this tart flavorful sauce, but for me it was a bit too tart. I tried it right after the sansa sauce and it felt sour to me. But, since the Sansa's made such a sweet sauce, I waited, and tried it again later with a fresh pallet. Still tart but no longer sour.
Definitely a different flavor and texture but if you're into tart applesauce this may be the apple for you in 2014.
Caramel Coating vs. Caramel Topping
We sell two different types of caramels in our shop and I often get asked the difference.Well – first we have our caramel apple coating. This is the same caramel we use to make our famous caramel apples. It has to be heated preferably in a double boiler type situation to become viscous enough for dipping and/or coating. Sometimes, if we have to go somewhere and bring a 'dish to pass' we'll cut up some ginger golds (don't brown when cut) and then drizzle some heated up caramel over them to make a nice caramel apple platter.
The other caramel we offer is this Caramel Apple Topping. We have it in regular caramel, cranberry caramel and cherry caramel. This is already viscous without having to heat it up. It's great for dipping apples into, topping ice cream with or even mixing in with you coffee. We purchase it from End of the Trail Candy Shoppe so it is still Wisconsin made.

Individual funding requests
The North West London Individual Funding Service manages Individual Funding Requests (IFR) and Planned Procedure with a limited Threshold (PPwT) on behalf of the eight North West London CCGs (Central London, West London, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hounslow, Ealing, Brent, Harrow and Hillingdon CCGs).
Planned Procedure with a Threshold
Planned Procedure with a Threshold (PPwT) is part of the North West London CCG's commissioning portfolio where a clinician makes a decision whether a patient meets the evidence-based thresholds for treatment defined in the PPwT policy.
There are numerous procedures covered under PPwT policy and a list of procedures can be found here. These policies cover Central London, West London, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hounslow, Ealing, Brent, Harrow and Hillingdon CCGs.
The access for treatment is either through a clinical authorisation route (PPwT form), or if the procedure or drug is not routinely funded through completion of an Individual Funding Request (IFR) form.
Individual Funding Request
An Individual Funding Request (IFR) is for a patient whose treatment falls under the 'not normally funded' category and needs to be considered on an individual patient basis.
These include:
- Interventions prior to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) evaluation
- NICE have evaluated the treatment as not generally cost effective
- Treatments covered by NICE Technology Appraisal Guidance criteria that the patient does not meet
- Treatments where the patient does not fulfil the agreed funding criteria for PPwT and have clinically exceptional circumstances
- requests to continue funding for patients previously treated:

Grand Canyon National Park Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Subscribe to KidsScoop! The monthly family event and savings newsletter.
The holidays and gift-giving season are swiftly moving in upon us. You may have a long list of ideas for your kids, nieces and nephews, or even your grandkids. But what about the seniors in your life? Grandparents are often difficult to buy for simply because they don't want must more stuff. Often, they're far away and we all know shipping is expensive. Floral deliveries are fine, but maybe this year it's time to break away from the overpriced poinsettias (they are expensive to have delivered, aren't they??) or the fruit baskets with a bit too much fruit in them for one or two people to enjoy. That's why I encourage you to check out GrandBox, a monthly care-package sent directly to your loved one(s). GrandBox is a monthly subscription box curated specifically for seniors 65 and up. Each box can be personalized with family photos and a note. It's the perfect gift to bring a smile to the faces of the ones you love.Because GrandBox wanted me to introduce their program to you, they sent a care-package to my husband. First, they asked me to send them five photos via email. They printed the pictures and included them, with a note I wrote, in the box filled with the following:

Numerous personnel shifts ensued over the next few years, particularly in 1949 when the entire group split from Fowler; at that point, he hired a completely different band, the Bob Weber-led Calvary Quartet, to assume the Oak Ridge name. With a core of Fowler and Weber, plus a revolving-door cast of supporting vocalists, the group became one of the top draws on the Southern gospel circuit, continuing to the end of 1956. At that point, Fowler disbanded the quartet and sold the name to group member Smitty Gatlin, who organized a new lineup in early 1957. In 1961, Gatlin changed their name to the Oak Ridge Boys, made them a full-time professional act, and started to modernize their sound on record with fuller arrangements and elements of country and folk. Future mainstay William Lee Golden joined as the group's baritone vocalist in 1964, and when Gatlin retired to become a full-time minister two years later, the group, acting on Golden's recommendation, hired ex-Southernairs singer Duane Allen as his replacement on lead vocals.
With bass singer Noel Fox and tenor singer Willie Wynn, the Oak Ridge Boys continued to broaden their appeal by adapting their sound to the times, adding a drummer to their backing band and incorporating bits of pop and even rock into their country-gospel style. As a result, they grew into one of the most popular gospel acts of the late '60s, despite purist criticism over their secular influences and long-haired image. They even won their first Grammy in 1970 for "Talk About the Good Times." Fox and Wynn were replaced by Richard Sterban (ex-Keystone Quartet) and Philadelphia native Joe Bonsall in 1972 and 1973, respectively, and this lineup would remain intact for the next decade-and-a-half. In 1973, they recorded a single with Johnny Cash and the Carter Family called "Praise the Lord and Pass the Soup," which brought them their first appearance on the country charts. In 1975, they opened a series of tour dates for Roy Clark, whose manager was highly impressed and encouraged them to try their hand at secular country.
The Oak Ridge Boys signed with Columbia later that year but found the initial transition a rough one: they split their time between country and gospel, and without a strong identity their sales dropped. The resulting financial problems nearly forced them to disband, and a discouraged Columbia gave up on them after their 1976 single, "Family Reunion," barely charted, even though labelmate Paul Simon had tapped them to sing backup on his hit "Slip Slidin' Away." Fortunately, they got another chance with MCA and scored a breakout Top Five hit in 1977 with "Y'all Come Back Saloon," the title song from their label debut. The follow-up, "You're the One," reached number two, and their next album, 1978's Room Service, gave them their first number one hit in "I'll Be True to You" as well as two more Top Five hits in "Cryin' Again" and "Come on In."
Thus established as country hitmakers, the Oak Ridge Boys embarked on a run of chart success that would last through the '80s. Golden stopped cutting his hair and beard altogether, giving the group a hugely recognizable visual signature, as well. They hit number one again in 1980 with "Trying to Love Two Women," but it was the following year that would make them a genuine phenomenon. Their recording of "Elvira," an obscure, doo wop-style novelty song from the '60s, became a major, Grammy-winning crossover smash. Not only did it hit number one on the country charts, but its infectious "oom-pop-a-mow-mow" bass vocal hook boosted it into the Top Five on the pop charts. Its accompanying album, Fancy Free, became their first to top the country charts, not to mention their biggest seller to date. The title cut of their chart-topping 1982 follow-up, Bobbie Sue, also went number one country and nearly made the pop Top Ten as well. American Made's title track also topped the charts in 1983, as did its follow-up, "Love Song." In early 1984, Deliver became their third number one country album and landed two more number one singles that year with "Everyday" and "I Guess It Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes." 1985 brought three number ones: "Little Things," "Make My Life with You," and "Touch a Hand, Make a Friend."
The Oak Ridge Boys' sales began to slow a bit in the latter half of the '80s, but they still produced big hits with regularity. They hit number one in 1987 ("It Takes a Little Rain," "This Crazy Love"), 1988 ("Gonna Take a Lot of River"), and 1990 ("No Matter How High"), giving them a total of 16 career country chart-toppers (and 29 Top Ten hits). However, by that point, the group's longtime lineup had split -- Golden, whose mountain-man appearance was increasingly supported by his rugged lifestyle, was given the boot in 1987 in an attempt to remake the group's image. He was replaced by longtime backing-band guitarist Steve Sanders and sued his former bandmates, eventually settling out of court. In 1991, the Oak Ridge Boys parted ways with MCA and signed with RCA, but after just two albums, it was apparent that their commercial prime had passed, and the relationship ended. The group returned to traditional-style country gospel on occasion during the '90s and continued to tour.
Meanwhile, Sanders' marital problems worsened, causing him to leave the group in late 1995; Golden and the other members resolved their differences, and he returned at their New Year's Eve show that year; they still performed often, notably in Branson, Missouri. Sadly, Sanders shot and killed himself in 1998. Fox, who moved on to run the group's publishing arm and later became a high-ranking music executive, passed away in April 2003. The group, with its classic '70s lineup of Sterban, Bonsall, Golden, and Allen, released a new studio album, The Boys Are Back, which featured reimagined versions of songs by John Lee Hooker, Neil Young, and the White Stripes, in 2009. The Oak Ridge Boys turned their focus on recording spiritual albums for Gaither Music Group, but would continue to perform secular shows, including one for a 40th anniversary celebration in 2013. The Oak Ridge Boys were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2015. Early 2018 saw the release of the single "Brand New Star" ahead of the arrival of the Dave Cobb-produced full-length 17th Avenue Revival, which dropped later that March. The following year, the band also pegged Cobb to produce their eighth holiday set, Down Home Christmas. ~ Steve Huey & Steve Leggett, Rovi

If you've taken so much as one psychology course, you've probably heard of Phineas Gage, the man who survived having a railroad spike driven through his skull. It sounds like a one-of-a-kind thing, but a Brazilian construction worker just survived a similar injury.
Eduardo Leite, the 24-year-old construction worker with a hell of a lot of luck, was hit by an iron bar that fell from the fifth floor of construction site and pierced both his hard hat and the back of his skull, popping out right between his eyes. Even after getting the new hole in his head, Leite remained conscious and lucid, eventually telling doctors what had happened to him.
The bar was carefully removed with a grueling 5-hour surgery. Luiz Alexandre Essinger, chief of staff at the hospital where Leite was treated, told the AP:
"He was taken to the operating room, his skull was opened, they examined the brain and the surgeon decided to pull the metal bar out from the front in the same direction it entered the brain. ...Today, he continues well, with few complaints for a five-hour-long surgery. He says he feels little pain."
The damaged part of Leite's brain clearly isn't required to stay alive, but its specific function isn't known. Leite is likely to remain at the hospital for up to two weeks following the surgery, and exactly what's happened to his brain probably won't be clear until he starts getting back to "normal" life. Whatever the damage may be, he's damn lucky to be alive. [The Guardian]

Thanks for taking the time to write this up! I've always meant to get around to learning cvs, and your clear introduction made it hard to procrastinate any longer. After getting my feet wet with the windows command line version, I've now moved on and have CvsNT and wincvs working together. I'm just about ready to make the switch from the somewhat outdated system I'm currently using, except for one thing that I can't figure out how to do in cvs.
Our current system is an old thing that someone who doesn't work here anymore wrote. One difference between it and cvs is that it doesn't allow you to 'commit' a single file at a time - you have to commit everything that you've changed in the module. So if I've changed two files, a.pl and b.pl, in my directory and I want to commit a.pl, I have to also commit b.pl. The system maintains separate version numbers and logs for the individual files and for the whole module. Sometimes this can be a little bit of a pain when I've finished working on a.pl and have some incomplete changes in b.pl, but for the most part it's very useful. It allows us to make related changes in different files and then keep track of them as a set. This is useful for example when I need to undo or fix a previous change to a file, I can see what other files were included in the same commit and check whether they have the same problem.
Is there anything like this in cvs, where the module/repository has its own log and version numbers? Is this what tags are for? I see that Subversion claims it's better than cvs because "directories are versioned." Is this what they mean?
I hope asking this cvs question isn't too off-topic -- I didn't know where else to ask. Strangely, searching google groups didn't show any cvs-related discussion groups. And going by the archives, the mailing lists on cvshome looked pretty inactive.

To calculate lineal feet of trim, (e.g. base, quarter round) simply measure each wall in the room and add up the lineal feet. For ease of installation use whole pieces where ever possible. Allow extra for cutting each corner and splicing pieces together.
To determine the square footage of a square or rectangular room, measure the length and width of the room in feet or inches and enter the values in Area 1 of the calculator below. For irregularly shaped areas or multiple rooms, it is helpful to draw a diagram and divide the room up into sections. Treat each section as a separate area, as in this illustration.

About Distressed Flooring:
Distressing is a technique that gives floors a natural, time-worn appeal. It beautifully replicates the rippled appearance of a vintage, handcrafted floor.
About Engineered:
Engineered flooring consists of REAL hardwood layers with either a plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or lumber core. It's extremely stable, which means it's the perfect floor for any level of the home!
MDF (medium density fiberboard) engineered flooring is constructed with a real hardwood veneer atop a moisture-resistant core which is made from real wood fibers that are compressed into a dense, impact-resistant format. In addition to providing extra protection against denting, the MDF enables the most precise milling of the locking profile to enhance ease of use and durability.
Lumber core engineered flooring is made of narrow strips of lumber glued together to create a dense, impact-resistant slab with a layer of hardwood veneer affixed to the top. This construction maintains superb dimensional stability through seasonal humidity and temperature fluctuations in the home.
With plywood engineered products, real wood veneer layers are stacked on one another, with the grain of the adjacent layers oriented perpendicular to each other. Because wood expands and contracts in the direction of the grain, one layer stabilizes the next, resulting in a product that is less susceptible to the effects of moisture and temperature change.

What are pneumatic fittings used for?
Pneumatic fittings are used to connect lengths of tubing, pipes and hose in pressurised pneumatic systems. They typically have tighter seals and lower pressure requirements compared to hydraulic fittings and can be commonly found in robotics within production lines as well as products we use within our daily lives such as vacuums and tyre pressure gauges.
Types of pneumatic fittings?
Pneumatic fittings are predominantly made from three different types of material; plastic, stainless steel and polymer. Stainless steel and polymer fittings are used in the food and beverage industry to comply with hygiene regulations, but all three types can be used in any other application.
How do pneumatic fittings work?
Pneumatic fittings can work in several different ways and in an array of configurations.
- Threaded-to-tube adaptors and fittings- designed with a quick fit push-in connection to a tapered or parallel threaded connection and are available in several tube and thread sizes. Theyre also available as Elbow and Y adaptors.
- Tube-to-tube adaptors and fittings - designed with quick fit push-in connections and available to work with several tube sizes. Theyre available as an adaptor to connect from one tube size to another
- Threaded adaptors and fittings - designed with a tapered or parallel thread on all connections, these are available as either a bulkhead adaptor, threaded bolts, elbows, cross and manifolds fittings
How to measure pneumatic fittings
To calculate the required thread size of the pipe fitting, you will need to measure the inner diameter of the threaded hole you would like the fitting to be connected to or the outer diameter of the threaded section of your existing fitting.

|Images of Halbarad
- "Halbarad Dúnadan, Ranger of the North I am. We seek one Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and we heard he was in Rohan."
- ― Halbarad, The Passing of the Grey Company
Halbarad was a Ranger of Eriador. He spent his early life watching the borders of the Shire.
During the War of the Ring, Halbarad was sent to the aid of his kinsman Aragorn. He led a thirty-man strong group of Rangers, calling themselves the Grey Company. With them rode Elladan and Elrohir, the sons of Elrond. In the night between the 5th and the 6th of March, the Company met Aragorn at Dol Baran. Halbarad gave his kinsman a standard, which was a gift from Arwen, and a message, summoning him to take the Paths of the Dead.
The Grey Company, now with Gimli and Legolas part of Aragorn's comitatus, passed through the Paths of the Dead, to the Stone of Erech, over Tarlang's Neck, and on to Pelargir. He captained a Corsair ship and they sailed toward Harlond.
On March 15 they arrived on the Pelennor Fields and fought in the battle. Halbarad unfurled the standard, and it showed the White Tree of Gondor and the signs of Elendil. He was killed in this battle, and would never return to the North.
Though it is nowhere translated, Halbarad most likely means "Tall Tower", from Sindarin hall, "tall", and barad, "tower".
Portrayal in adaptations
1981: The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series):
- Halbarad had a role similar to his role in the book. He was voiced by Martyn Read.
2007: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- Halbard is in command of Esteldin, a hidden Dúnedain city in the North Downs.

WrestlingInc SourceWWE cracked down on two Twitter accounts that had been snarking the organization and its employees last week as both @WWE_Creative and @CrankyVince were suspended on Thursday. While the account mocking WWE's creative direction returned online following some profile tweaks (now located @WWECreative_ish), the McMahon parody remains down.
The @CrankyVince account spoofed McMahon's demeanor and mindset with random musings depicting the WWE Chairman as an eccentric, sex-crazed, drug-addled egomaniac. It had drawn alarming concern from organization officials since last year, who due to the sensitive nature of the tweets, believed it was being handled by an employee within close proximity of McMahon. The account would divulge legitimate company information, which is a breach of Twitter's Terms of Service. According to F4WOnline.com, the McMahon mockery account is reportedly administered by an assortment of current WWE employees. The publication, however, would not disclose specific names.
Before its suspension, @CrankyVince had endorsed an alternative account (located @PremiumVince). The account has posted several messages in Cranky Vince's trademark tone since the suspension of the premiere account.
The @CrankyVince account was coincidentally shut down the day it released a message stating that Alberto Del Rio wanted to quit WWE.
"WHAT? DEL RIO WANTS TO QUIT? TELL THAT POMPOUS ASS: NO. THEN, TELL HIM TO GO f--k HIMSELF. THEN, f--k YOU," the tweet read.
F4WOnline.com reports that Del Rio clashed with upper-level management that day and threatened to quit WWE. One company source says Del Rio was frustrated with his standing and contemplating a departure. A second source said the incident 'wasn't that big a deal' and that both sides were wrangling over a contract matter. A third source believes the spat was a combination of both accounts.
Del Rio has leverage; he has no issues with income and could return to Mexico as a heralded former WWE Superstar and son of noted luchador Dos Caras. A company employee expressed skepticism Monday night that Del Rio had legitimately suffered a concussion, noting that he was "too injured" to work the No Way Out pay-per-view event on Sunday but healthy enough to work Raw. The employee believes the concussion was a cover excuse for issues that materialized between Del Rio and officials, necessitating his removal from the title match against Sheamus.

ARNHEM, December 6, 2010 – Today BenVista announced the release of their new software for digital image resizing PhotoZoom Pro 4, which as of now is available for both Windows and Mac platforms.
The PhotoZoom series is specialized in enlarging (and downsizing) digital images while preserving original quality, for which it uses BenVista's patented, award-winning S-Spline technologies. With PhotoZoom Pro 4, BenVista aims to tackle an additional challenge: creating acceptable image enlargements based on mediocre or even low quality originals.
Says D.S. Schoolwerth, CEO at BenVista: "Ideally, you always have high quality originals to work with. But reality can be different. What if all you have is a low-res original full of noise? And what if a client insists on working with a low quality image from the Web, that suffered quality loss due to JPEG compression? Enlarging such images usually isn't a very good idea: distortions will become disturbingly visible. Or when you apply repair filters prior to resizing the image, the end result often looks blurry and artificial."
With PhotoZoom Pro 4, BenVista claims to offer a spectacular new solution to this problem. Schoolwerth: "We have developed a technology that combines perfectly with our S-Spline Max resize method. Not only it cleans up JPEG compression artifacts and noise, the image will also look perfectly sharp and true to nature after enlargement."
Another major new feature of PhotoZoom Pro 4 is 64-bit support. With the increasing popularity of 64-bit versions of Windows, Mac OS X, and Photoshop in mind, PhotoZoom Pro 4 now fully supports 64-bit environments, both as a stand-alone application and as a Photoshop plug-in.
Other improvements are additional fine-tuning options, new pre-defined settings for different types of images, and additional presets for common print and pixel sizes.
Besides PhotoZoom Pro 4, BenVista also released PhotoZoom Classic 4 today. Although the Classic version misses some of the Pro version's features, it too creates outstanding image enlargements thanks to its S-Spline XL image resize technology. Also, the price of the Classic version is significantly lower, allowing the PhotoZoom series to reach a wider public.
Demo versions of PhotoZoom Pro 4 and PhotoZoom Classic 4 can be downloaded directly from the BenVista website: www.benvista.com. Various upgrade options are available.

Hundreds of people jumped into Lake Michigan for the 2016 Polar Plunge on Sunday, including several celebrities who braved the chilly waters.
Actors from the hit NBC shows "Chicago Fire," "Chicago PD," and "Chicago Med" took the plunge Sunday morning at North Avenue Beach. Meteorologists Al Roker and Dylan Dreyer from the TODAY Show also flew into Chicago to take part.
"Chicago Fire" star Taylor Kinney and his fiancée Lady Gaga joined in on the fun for the second year in a row, even repeating a piggyback exit from the water.
Last year, Kinney and Gaga were joined by actor Vince Vaughn and more than 4,500 Chicagoans in the icy dip into Lake Michigan. While Vaughn was the guest of honor at the event, Lady Gaga's appearance was a surprise.
Plungers raised more than $1 million dollars in 2015, which supports athletes involved in Special Olympics Chicago. NBC is a proud sponsor of this year's Polar Plunge. Donations can also be made online.
The 16th annual Polar Plunge began at 10 a.m. Sunday for the first wave, then continued at 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.

Volunteering for this great organization was such a rewarding experience we decided to commit for the long term and make it our annual summer event.

(Santa Ana)—The Santa Ana College (SAC) Arts Gallery is hosting an exhibit titled "Home Grown," featuring a collection of superb artwork by four Santa Ana College alumni. The artists include Susan Elizalde, Bill Gallagher, Mark Hendrickson, and Hiromi Takizawa. All learned their crafts locally, grew up in Southern California, and work locally now.
The exhibit, which is free to the public, will run through March 1. The SAC Arts Gallery is located at the Santora Building, 207 N. Broadway, Suite Q, Santa Ana, CA 92701. Gallery hours are Fridays, noon to 4:00 p.m. The gallery is also open for monthly ArtWalks on the first Saturdays, February 1 and March 1, from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. and by appointment.
Elizalde received her B.A. in art history, her M.A. in art and her M.F.A. from California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). She is known for creating contemporary figurative ceramic sculpture and has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. She has been artist-in-residence at the Watershed Center for Ceramic Art in Maine, International Museum of Ceramic Art in Denmark, and has served on artist selection panels for the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department, Public Art Projects, and on the board of the Southern California Women's Caucus for Art. She currently serves as collaborating faculty at La Sierra University and associate faculty at Saddleback Emeritus Institute.
"My work relates to the human condition," said Elizalde. "There is also a spiritual aspect to the work. It touches people in different ways."
Gallagher began his journey with creating jewelry in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1974 when a local silversmith was looking for "a kid" to help him out. He worked after school and in the summer helping to make contemporary southwestern jewelry, mostly in turquoise and silver. Once he established his own business, he began consigning his work to a local art gallery.
"'Clean' is the word I hear most often to describe my work," said Gallagher. "I think of my work as very direct and straightforward. I strive for solid construction and fine finish."
A third generation Californian, Hendrickson developed an interest in ceramics while working on his B.A. at CSUF. Captivated by ancient-looking art and artifacts, he began experimenting with hand stretching clay to achieve unusual and exciting results relying on the clay's natural and random tendencies to rip, tear, and create stretch marks. Unlike most potters who either throw their pottery shapes on a wheel or use the coil method to build their work, Hendrickson continues to use the simple stretching method for his creations.
Takizawa received her B.A. in glass and her M.A. in glass from CSUF and her M.F.A. from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va. Her work explores a range of aspects that are inherent and specific to her Japanese cultural heritage. She began her art studies at Santa Ana College.
"I've always been fascinated by the visual phenomenon that occurs when light is transmitted, reflected, and/or refracted on, in, and through glass materials," said Takizawa. "I integrate these observable optical phenomena into personal narratives; by using the perceptional shifts that only the quality of glass can generate, I transform my emotions into concrete materiality."

Formerly of Newburgh and Cornwall, NY
Antoinette P. DeCerbo "Dolly" entered into rest on November 21, 2012. She was 89 years old. She is formerly from Newburgh and Cornwall NY. She moved to New Jersey three years ago to spend her golden years near the ocean with her daughter.
Antoinette was called "Dolly" by close family members, a name given to her by her brothers: Sammy, Bocky and Nicky.
Antoinette is predeceased by her loving husband, John, whom she spent more than 50 years with in a loving and caring marriage.
She is survived by her son, Michael DeCerbo and his wife, Nancy of Walden; daughter, Cabrina Whitam and husband, Paul of New Jersey; two grandsons that were dear to heart, Joseph Bertero (who lovingly called her "ANT") and his fiance, Crystal Johnson of Newburgh and David DeCerbo and his wife, Debby of New Jersey and Steven and Stephanie Faddis of Walden.
She is also survived by four beautiful great grandchildren: Matthew and Mia DeCerbo and Sophia and Jared Johnson.
Antoinette prided herself on being a baker; she never went to any event or party without bringing one of her famous chocolate cakes.
She will be missed by all that loved her, especially her special nieces, Sue Ann (Sassone) Mcguire and Patricia Depew and nephew, Anthony Sassone.
Visitation will be on Tuesday, November 27 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at Hudson Valley Funeral Home, 239 Quassaick Ave. (Rte. 94), New Windsor. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow the Visitation at 10:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, Newburgh. Burial will be in Calvary Cemetery, New Windsor.

Spacious and comfortable interior; third row seating; relatively compact outer dimensions; advanced drivetrains; smooth, sleek styling
The Chrysler Pacifica is a brand new vehicle for 2017. It replaces the Town and Country as the only minivan in Chrysler's lineup, sharing very little with the outgoing vehicle. One look at the new Pacifica is all it takes to see just how much has changed since last year. The Pacifica is smooth, sleek and extremely handsome by minivan standards, making the outgoing Town and Country look uninspired and dull by comparison. The interior is all new as well of course, with more features and technology than ever before. The 2017 Pacifica should be a fantastic vehicle for moving bigger groups of people about comfortably, conveniently and at a price that won't break the bank.

Vinaigrettes come and go, but this walnut dressing is a tasty and healthy addition to a grilled vegetable platter. Walnuts contain polyphenols and other anti-oxidants and essential fatty acids. These help in boosting memory, behavioral skills and even support and keep the nervous system healthy. Research on mice that were kept on a walnut mixed feed, that is equivalent to a human consuming 7-9 walnuts daily has shown remarkable results in age-related motor skills and improved cognitive shortfalls and improved memory.
Lets start adding walnuts to our family recipes. This walnut-lemon dressing is a great place to start!
- 2 zucchini, sliced diagonally 1/3 inch thick
- 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed
- 1/2 pound thick asparagus, peeled
- 1 red onion, sliced 1/3 inch thick
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 small shallot, very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Light a grill. Brush the zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus and onion with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer the grilled vegetables to a serving platter.
- Meanwhile, spread the walnuts in a pie plate and toast for about 12 minutes, until fragrant. Let cool completely.
- Transfer the toasted walnuts to a food processor. Add the shallot, thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest and the 1/2 cup of olive oil and pulse until the nuts are coarsely chopped. Season the dressing with salt and pepper and drizzle over the grilled vegetables. Serve.

(Pocket-lint) - Dell has proven itself pretty capable in the printer market in the past and adds a couple of dedicated mono lasers to its range in the 1130 series. Aside from the fact that the 1130n adds network access and faster print speeds, they are effectively the same device, promising nothing more than the ability to produce fast, clean prints with a minimum of fuss.
The 1130 is just about capable of stretching out of the home market into home and small business, offering a 250-sheet paper tray, an 80-sheet bin and a single sheet feeder for a little more precision. It supports a range of paper types and weights as you'd expect and unless you opt for the network version, connects directly via USB.
The design is unassuming enough and we would be tempted to talk about how tidy it is if it weren't for the rather unsightly bulge at the rear which, due to the fact that the power and data cable are plugged into the back of it, means the printer will be pushed some distance from the wall. It's not a major issue but is unlikely to contribute towards a tidy office.
There's no LCD display and the device instead opts for a couple of warning lights, a multi-purpose "cancel" control and power button, so most of the configuration will be done through the device driver software supplied. This is quite tidy though, offering manual duplex printing and all of the expected quality control, including the ability to add watermarks and overlays.
It takes around 30 seconds for the Dell 1130 to warm up from cold but once it gets started it'll run through a job very quickly. The 18ppm quoted speed was spot on in our tests, and even if you throw in some graphics and visuals it manages to maintain this quite well.
Quality is excellent - we couldn't pick any holes in the sharpness or weight of text, and it's certainly capable of recreating finer details in graphics and smaller font sizes without any drop in clarity. In fact we can't find anything to criticise about its performance and aside from our issues with the design there's only one other consideration worth bearing in mind.
At £75 the 1130 isn't exactly overpriced but with extremely capable MFDs (multi-function devices) doing the rounds for the same or a little more, we're wondering how long standalones such as this will be able to argue their case.
Dell's 1130 is a solid, no-nonsense laserjet that offers impressive speeds and impressive quality. Though there aren't a lot of additional features here for the modern user, those that would require them are likely to go for an MFD anyway so if this is the sort of solution that appeals you won't go far wrong.
