Mel Brooks and Sid Caesar Remember Larry Gelbart
The memorial of comedy writing legend Larry Gelbart began promptly at 7 last night in Los Angeles, prompting my friend Ben Schwartz to lean over and whisper, "The only person who's late is Larry." It was that sort of evening.
Larry died September 11, 2009, at the age of 81. He'd been sick with cancer, although he and his wife chose to keep that news to themselves. "They didn't tell anyone. Not even Norman Lear! " a mutual friend told me in response to the shocking news of Larry's death. Two months later, his friends—including Norman Lear—came together to talk about Larry and watch clips of his creations, including M*A*S*H, Tootsie, and Oh, God, as well as video from a panel of writers from Caesar's Hour.The result was laughter because, as the first speaker, Kirk Douglas, aptly observed, "You meet Larry, you smile."
The funniest set—I mean, eulogy—was delivered by Mel Brooks who worked with Larry on Caesar's Hour. Brooks took the podium and opened with, "There's no money in this." He declared Gelbart "spectacular" and "truly brilliant." He stated emphatically that Larry was "the fastest wit in the west, maybe the fastest wit in the world. And including me, the best in the writers' room, including me, so you can imagine ..."
We could imagine. In fact, we'd seen proof of it earlier when they showed a clip from the Show of Shows panel. At one moment, both Larry and Brooks make the exact same joke, then look at each other, open arms bent, palms facing to the sky as if to say, "Great minds think alike." But the truth is in the clip—Larry beat Brooks to the punch line by a hair.
Brooks explained that Carl Reiner was sick and couldn't attend the memorial but assured the audience, "Carl loved Larry. He really did. Thank God Larry was a guy or Estelle …" Brooks closed with the observation that memorials are rife with clichés and people declaring that the world will be a lesser place because someone has left it. "All that bullshit is true in the case of Larry Gelbart," declared Brooks.
Eighty-seven-year-old Sid Caesar took the microphone and struggled to find words to tell a story about Larry. It was painful to watch until someone in the audience shouted, "Say it in Italian!" Caesar instantly shifted gears and started speaking in his classic Italian gibberish. "Grande, grande!" he insisted and the audience laughed with relief. Caesar concluded by shifting back to English and found the words to express his true feelings: "Larry was such a nice man, such a good man. And I loved him."
More television legends took the stage. Gene Reynolds, who directed and produced M*A*S*H, suggested everyone pick up a copy of Larry's play, Sly Fox. Norman Lear expounded on how "Larry was doing battle with stupidity." Lear talked of getting together in Palm Springs with "Mel and Annie," "Carl and Estelle," and "Pat and Larry," where they'd entertain each other with sketches and performances and by playing a game Larry created called "Celebrity grapefruit." It was nice to know that while both these men battled stupidity, they still stayed silly.
Larry's wife, Pat, closed the evening with a touching performance. A singer by profession, she tailored three songs to the occasion. She talked about meeting Larry and how they felt an instant connection. She then launched into Cole Porter's "Just One of Those Things." At the end, she adjusted the lyrics to "So goodbye, dear, and Amen/I know we'll never be together again." She paused, shrugged at the audience, and said, "That's the way it is."
It was a bold, surprising, and poignant moment. I wish everyone could have heard the way Pat Gelbart sang the word "dear." It brought instant tears to my eyes. The crowd gave her a standing ovation and in true torch-singer fashion, she proclaimed, "You're wonderful. He was wonderful. We were wonderful."

FDA Approves New Sugar Substitute
Diane Fennell
May 30, 2014
On May 19, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the high-intensity sweetener advantame, developed by Japanese food and chemical corporation Ajinomoto. It is the sixth artificial sweetener to receive the green light from the agency, joining saccharin (brand name Sweet'N Low and others), aspartame (Equal and others), acesulfame potassium (Sweet One and others), sucralose (Splenda), and neotame (Newtame).
The first new sugar substitute to receive approval in 12 years, advantame is a white powder derived from aspartame and vanillin that dissolves in water and remains stable even at high temperatures. It can be used as both a tabletop sweetener and an ingredient in cooking, and it is approved for use in a variety of foods, including baked goods, nonalcoholic beverages, chewing gum, confections and frostings, frozen desserts, gelatins and puddings, jams and jellies, processed fruits and fruit juices, toppings, and syrups.
According to Captain Andrew Zajac of the US Public Health Service and director of the FDA's Division of Petition Review, "sugar substitutes are called 'high-intensity' because small amounts pack a large punch when it comes to sweetness." And unlike sweeteners such as sugar or honey, Zajac notes, high-intensity sweeteners add few or no calories to the diet and generally do not raise blood glucose levels.
The FDA based its approval of advantame on the results of 37 animal and human studies submitted by the manufacturer. The research was designed to identify any harmful effects of the sweetener, including effects on the immune, reproductive, developmental, and nervous systems.
Advantame is chemically similar to aspartame, which requires a warning label alerting people with phenylketonuria (PKU) to the presence of phenylalanine. (People with PKU have difficulty metabolizing phenylalanine.) Because of this, the FDA evaluated whether to require a warning label for advantame as well. However, the agency determined that, because advantame is about 100 times sweeter than aspartame and only a fraction of the amount is required to achieve the same degree of sweetness, no warning label for people with PKU is necessary.
Advantame is expected to hit the US market within the next few years.
For more information, see the press release or the consumer update on the FDA Web site.
Another CHEMICAL sweetener to kill us!!!
Posted by: Geri | Jun 04, 2014 02:34 PM
Why would you get our hopes up with such wonderful news only to tell us it will be available in the US in the next few years. I'll probably be deceased by that time. Aggravated.
Posted by: Darlene Blacketer | Jun 04, 2014 01:44 PM
Me either..they approved something that contains aspertame???? I'm going to try Stevia or monk fruit sweetener. I have agave nectar but use it sparingly as it is like honey.
Posted by: Pat Carleson | Jun 04, 2014 12:57 PM
This doesn't make me happy...at all.
Posted by: Terri | Jun 04, 2014 12:14 PM
Why do they keep okaying these chemical products that destroy your liver but don't tell you that part? Anything chemically engineered is hard on the liver and kidneys. Do not use this product!! aspartame is a poison and very harmful to the body!
Posted by: Carla | Jun 04, 2014 07:17 PM
I am not happy either, there are reports of aspartame having issues about alzeheimers diease and that is a problem for me because my father had alzemeimers diease and everything I want to buy to drink has aspartame in it and I will not buy it . Please come up with something that does not interfer with our brains, that is if it is possible. Thank you . God bless and hope to come up with a new and protected item for diabetics.
Posted by: Jeanie | Jun 04, 2014 08:13 PM
Note that "the FDA BASED ITS APPROVAL...on studies made by the MANUFACTURER". What about independent studies? Also, why do we need yet another questionable artificial sweetener? Another trap to avoid I'm afraid...
Posted by: Mary G | Jun 04, 2014 08:40 PM
The minute I see "artificial" I lose interest. Stevia has been my "go to" sweetener for several years now. I have never had a problem.
Posted by: Sharon | Jun 04, 2014 11:00 PM
How to throw the consumer to the wolves. If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck and waddles like a duck, its a duck. The AMOUNT of "aspertame" used does not make it any less horrendous. Personally, I like breathing better. I don't trust this stuff. And I think that it is criminal that the FDA can decided that something is "safe" because people will use less of it. None of the "sweeteners" listed above are really safe. They are all chemically composed, or, in the case of Splenda, chemically treated. As I understand it, Spenda is made by bombarding sugar with chlorine. How healthy! If I had anyone in my family with PKU I"D steer clear of this stuff.
Posted by: Susan Ahearn | Jun 04, 2014 11:14 PM
Wonder how much the company paid to the FDA...
Posted by: Not Happy | Jun 05, 2014 10:24 AM
I am not sure what the hoopla with chemical sweeteners about. I have doctor friends from any specialty that you can think of and every each of them is telling me the same thing about aspartame and saccharine: yes it causes cancer if you inject a highly concentrated solution of this substance under the skin of a rat and the animal develops a skin cancer. And I can understand that. But if you are using these sweeteners sparingly, like myself (I am a big Splenda user and I consume about a whopping 10 packets a day, give or take) and have a strong belief that, the body can adjust itself to fight with any foreign substance taken in moderation. Otherwise, we would have all been dead from all sorts of antibiotics and what not that was given to us throughout our lives. And to the Stevia fans: I wanted to like this crap and tried and tried time over time but I can not get over the bitter aftertaste of the stuff and you need to use a lot, but lots of it to get the same effect as Splenda I am using to reach the same sweetness levels and it is making the aftertaste something that I can taste through out my whole drinking the liquid which is unbearably bad. Monk fruit on the other hand (nectrese brand I tried) doesn't have the aftertaste problem but again too weak to sweeten any liquid I enjoy consuming. I wish FDA could hurry up and let the new substance hit the market quicker than the "few years"
Posted by: Mel | Jun 05, 2014 04:46 PM
Why does the FDA keep approving "artificial" sweeteners and not approve natural sweeteners like Stevia for use in manufactured foods like soft drinks? The explanation I've heard is that the chemical companies have bribed the FDA because they are afraid if Stevia were approved they would lose huge profits. Frankly, I believe it, because I use Stevia in cooking and it is wonderful. Obviously, the FDA is less concerned about diabetics and those on diets than they are about maintaining the huge profits of chemical companies.
Posted by: Wayne Astin | Jun 05, 2014 09:24 PM
I am glad to see that others are aware of how dangerous and unnecessary these chemical sweeteners are! I have used Stevia for several years now, and prefer it above all other "natural" sweeteners. However, be aware that some companies are altering the Stevia with Erythritol, which is often "fed" with GMO corn!!!! Or with Malitol or Xylitol. There are sites on the web where you can purchase PURE Stevia in bulk, which lasts for a long time! Just be sure to check that what you buy is pure, with NO additives and bleaching agents used. I am also overjoyed to find 2 companies who now make Stevia-sweetened chocolate bars and chocolate cooking products (Lilly's Sweets and Coco Polo). Both are available on the web, although I find them at my local Food Cooperative as well. I am disappointed that Zevia and Blue Sky Free both continue to use GMO-fed Erythritol in their soda. I am boycotting both until they change this.

I have used spenda since I found out I was diabetic it works great in hot and cold and like sugar how about that is it an approved sugar sub.??
Posted by: joyce hicks | Jun 09, 2014 03:07 PM
I do not use much sweetener. But when I do use one,my go to sweetener for many years has been and will continue to be Stevia. A natural product and I often use less than a packag, depending on what I am sweetening, There is no flavor from it other than sweetening whatever I use it on. Doesn't matter to me what "new" sweeteners come to the market; unless it is natural I'll stick with Stevia. If a new product comes out that is natural, I MIGHT give it a try.
Posted by: Patricia | Jun 12, 2014 04:32 PM
Wake up people. The FDA does not work for the welfare of the public. Look at the rise in contaminated meat and was recalled And lets not forget about drugs that were approved, and then were pulled, after they effected people's health. Also, GMO foods that the FDA says are safe because the chemical manufacturer made their own study to say that they are safe. But there are European countries studies that show that they are carcinogenic. And they are banned in those European countries. If you want to live a healthy life, then stop eating contaminated meat and vegetables. Support our local farmers by going organic. Peace be on to you.

My diabetes was diagnosed in January, 1961. For years we used saccharine tablets. I will not try advantane, Aspartame-based sweetener. My sweetener choice is raw honey since I can take 0.4 units insulin by pump/teaspoon honey. I don't use often. Some studies I read about years ago showed cinnamon & raw honey actually helps diabetes. Stevia does have an aftertaste, but I use it in lemonade. Jeanie and others: a soft drink called Diet Rite uses something other than "equal", saccharine, I think. 52 years on insulin and I'm in relatively good health. I, personally, do not pass out from hypoglycemic reactions until BS lower than 28, so I'm luckier than most. My eyes had microscopic changes in retina three weeks ago. Hope this will encourage some of you!

Throughout Pathos, it's clear the Fallen ones do more with the post-emo formula than most of their contemporaries. What's tougher to suss out is why and how, especially considering that vocalist Matt Guerin shifts from impassioned bellowing to guttural squalling in the expected manner, and the aural dynamics are in no danger of earning the Nobel Prize for Originality. True, the guitaristics of Ben Thompson and Dan Ha are sturdy and compelling, particularly on "The Lowest Degree" — and the Jerrod Fassler/Kenny Sienkiewicz rhythm section urges tracks like "Call It Cuba" forward with minimal muss-n-fuss. But in the end, there's still no logical explanation for the album's success at transcending clichés instead of succumbing to them — and that's okay. After all, some mysteries aren't meant to be solved.

Delft is Famous for its Blue Delft and as the Final Resting Place of William of Orange:
Delft is a town that is best-known the world over for its Blue Delft pottery. But this charming town in the province of South Holland (Zuid-Holland) is equally famous as the final resting place of William of Orange.
Delft and the House of Orange
Delft is a typical Dutch town located between Rotterdam and The Hague. When William of Orange took up residence here in 1572, that began the town's association with the House of Orange. During the Eighty Years' War or Dutch War of Independence, William of Orange managed to oust the Spanish armies from the northern provinces and established the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. During this period Delft was one of the leading cities of Holland.
Delft School of Painting
Apart from its Blue Delft pottery, Delft is also famous as the birthplace of Johannes Vermeer. Vermeer and several other notable Dutch painters lived and worked in Delft and were members of the Delft School. Most of their paintings were based on domestic life, church interiors, courtyards, squares and the streets of Delft.
Delft Attractions
Much of the activity in Delft is concentrated on the market square with the impressive Stadhius (Town Hall) and Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) facing each other. Although the origin of Delft dates to the start of the 11th century, most of the city's monumental buildings are 17th century re-creations. In 1654, the national gunpowder store exploded and destroyed much of the city. The Delft Explosion or Delft Thunderclap, as it is also known, killed over 100 people and injured thousands of others.
Some of the historical buildings in Delft include:
- The Stadhius (Town Hall) on the Markt
- Oude Kerk (Old church) – Vermeer and other prominent Delft citizens are buried here
- Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) – Facing the Stadhius, Nieuwe Kerk contains the Dutch Royal family's burial vault
- The Prinsenhof (Princes' Court) is now a museum
- The Oostpoort (Eastern Gate) – the only remaining gate of the old city walls
Delft Hotels
There are many hotels in Delft that enjoy canal views and these include the 4-star Hotel de Art, Hotel Leeuwenbrug, Hotel Grand Canal Station Delft and Bridges House Hotel Delft. For the complete list of hotels in Delft see Here.
How to Get to Delft
There are direct trains from Den Haag, Amsterdam and Rotterdam to Delft as well as buses from Den Haag and Rotterdam.
From Amsterdam, there are also a couple of day trips that you can join which will take you to Delft, The Hague and Madurodam.

They tell me you could smell the smoke from Grillin' on the Bay at the train station on Saturday. I still smell like smoke; mixing and mingling with barbecue teams will do that to you. I like it.
Saturday's Grillin' on the Bay proved to be another great neighborhood event. About 1,500 people showed up to sample ribs, pulled pork parfaits, grilled burgers and hot dogs and imbibe some hops while cheering on the cooks.
Navigating the schoolyard with its vendors and teams proved to be an interesting experience. Three Men and a Baby Back were selling ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, corn bread and soda. The school itself was selling hamburgers, hot dogs, pickles, snacks and soda. Befriend the teams and be in the right place at the right time and you could have eaten free. Timing is everything in life.
By mid-afternoon, the schoolyard was packed with teams and people poking around to taste the "left overs" as teams handed out tastes of their "rejects", or the food not good enough to submit to the judges. One team, The Smoke'n Pit put out full trays of ribs and chicken wings for the public to sample. More than one person exclaimed in delight and wonderment, "If these are rejects, imagine what the judges are eating!"

PS 110 Globalization (CRN 1495)
Taylor 26: Tu/Th 10:30-12:20
Fall, 2012
Paul Pavlich
Office: TA 133 (Hours: M 2-4, W 12-2, F 11:30-12:30)
OBJECTIVES: Citizens of nation states throughout the world are confronting challenges to their identity. Individuals who saw themselves as citizens of a well-defined community now find their communities disintegrating and their identity transforming.
This course challenges students to come to grips with their identities, who their parents and grandparents are or were, and who they, their siblings, friends and children are likely to become. In the process we will examine the nature of politics and markets in a world of increasingly interdependent nation states. Students will examine the nature of politics and markets in an interdependent world of "nation states," which in the words of one analyst, are becoming "market states."
Along the way students will explore the emergence of transnational entities, like the United Nations and Amnesty International, as well as multinational corporations, and terrorist networks. By factoring in the above referenced associations, we can understand how an emerging international community responds to pressing global problems, such as environmental degradation, ubiquitous and persist organized violence, and rapid technological change.
This course is approved for University Studies (Explorations Strand F: Social Science).
READING. The text for the course is The Lexus and the Olive Tree ("Text") by Thomas Friedman. Additional readings are linked below in the "Daily Schedule."
The Lexus and the Olive Tree is relatively long but not a difficult read. It is really a series of stories about how people advance, react to, overcome or oppose the forces of globalization. The most important element is probably at the beginning where the author describes the factors contributing to an increasingly integrated world. After that, he is teasing out the implications almost like a cheerleader for globalization. The supplementary readings present different views or issues that Friedman has not fully addressed if at all. In particular those readings tend to stress the difficulties associated with globalization.
The daily reading and discussion schedule for the class is at the end of this syllabus/website ("Daily Schedule"). The schedule published there is subject to modification for all of the usual reasons. It is the student's duty to check this web site regularly for changes. Changes will also be announced in class when practicable.
PEDAGOGY: For the most part, class is conducted in "Socratic" style. While this will be developed more fully on the first day, it can be summarized as follows: Students (usually in groups of three, four or five) are called upon to answer a series of questions about the reading for a day, or perhaps to pick up the discussion from the previous class. The questions will explore a conceptual or normative problem, a component of globalization or a policy question. The objective is to develop, in hopes of identifying the relevant criteria for analyzing the issues associated with the politics of globalization. Students will be expected to show they understand and can apply these criteria in the exercises assigned to them for the class.
Students are called upon in random fashion and can expect to be called upon several times during the term. Students will always be told in advance when they are expected to participate in a Socratic dialogue.
If a student is unprepared he may "pass" and another student will be selected. Each student gets one "free" pass per term. A second pass will result in a five point deduction from the total points accrued from exams. An inadequate or disruptive performance may cost a student up to ten points. Absences are treated as passes. Students should recognize that a major premise of the Socratic method is that students are conversant the assigned reading in advance of class.
STUDENT EVALUATION: Students are evaluated based upon the following criteria:
(1) Five take home exercises. The first two are worth 15 points, the third is worth 20 and fourth and fifth are worth 25 points each. All will entail the analyses of political, policy, or resource allocation problems and will require a two to four page typed response. In every material respect they will appear to be take home exams. These exercises will evaluate the student's capacity to analyze a problem rather than reach the "correct" or "right" conclusion.
(2) As discussed above, the point total that students accrue on their exercises may be reduced, where appropriate, for inadequate classroom participation. This specifically refers to Socratic dialogues discussed above and other classroom activities such as simulations.
(4) Occasionally, small research projects may emerge from the flow of the class. That is, as the class moves through some analytical puzzle it may be useful to have some more facts. Student volunteers will be asked to identify some "authority" on a subject (i.e. the internet, a professor, book, or other source) and come prepared to the next class to enlighten us all. These presentations count as "extra credit". There are likely to only be two or three of these in the term (if that) and arise spontaneously from the class discussion rather than any instructor planning.
(6) At least two simulations or games will be played in the term and students who succeed (i.e. win, place or show) will receive extra credit.
Here are some cautionary notes regarding grading for this class:
(A) Students should keep a copy of all written exercises. The burden of loss of any missing written work will rest entirely on the student.
(B) Class grades will be assigned based upon a rough curve comparing point totals accumulated by students over the entire term. No individual exercise will be assigned a letter grade. Rather you will be given a point total. After each class exercise, students will be shown two "curves" enabling them (1) to compare their point totals with others for the discrete exercise and (2) compare their cumulative point totals for all exercises given by that point in the term.
(C) Other than as discussed in connection with class participation, class attendance is not considered when evaluating students. You will be treated as mature individuals, capable of choosing responsibly whether to attend class on a given day. Students should recognize that class meetings also serve as a medium for communicating to them about the structure and pace of the class. Information concerning the class, not contained in the syllabus, is generally communicated at one class meeting and noted on the class website, but not repeated elsewhere. This may include additional reading assignments, handouts, exercise information, modifications in the syllabus and "Socratic Dialogue" participation. Students bear the entire responsibility to ensure that they understand the requirements for the class by either attending regularly or making other arrangements to ascertain how the course is moving.
(D) The principles espoused in the SOU policy on academic dishonesty are applicable to this class.
If you are in need of academic support because of a documented disability (whether it is psychiatric, learning, mobility, health-related, or sensory), you may be eligible for academic accommodations through disability services for students. Contact Disability Services for Students; Director, DSS; 552-6213; or schedule an appointment in person at the ACCESS Center, Stevenson Union, Lower Level.

September 25: Course Overview
September 27-October 2 Globalization 1.0. What does Globalization mean? When pundits, sages, wonks or seers say refer to a "globalized world," how is the world different than any other time in the earth's history? Was the world not global before? Not round? What has changed? How do we know?

October 2 First Exercise Distributed; Due beginning of class, October 4. Simulation #1: "Coalitions" (played October 4)
October 4-18 Globalization 2.0. It appears certain social, economic and political phenomena give impetus to globalization and that humans have experienced "spasms" of globalization previously. But the momentum toward globalization has been arrested and reversed. Why? Is that a good thing? Are the forces animating our current rush to globalization immutable? What are the irreducible requirements for integration of political and social institutions on a global scale? In more accessible English, what has to happen to cause globalization? What dangers or adverse consequences flow from this trend toward integration? Again more simply, who might object to globalization and how might they oppose it?

Banks, hedge funds, pension plans, individuals and a seeming infinite variety of other combinations of people feel secure in investing their money and their time across the globe. What are the preconditions for this phenomenon? What happens to the idea of community, nationality, and states when this happens? Specifically what is the relevance for the state of Oregon and Southern Oregon University?

On the one hand respect for the core political value of liberty would encourage states to promote markets and the freedoms they advance. On the other hand the disparity in distribution benefits procured by markets and the weakening of the sense of political community create misgivings about unfettered globalization. However there may be little that states, particularly democratic ones, can do to stem the tide of globalization.

Have we gone down some paths too far to retreat and are we likely to end up with some degree of integration greater than ever before?

La Boca
Il Materello
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Not more than a kick of a fútbol from the Boca Juniors stadium, and as brightly colored as a Caminito house, Il Mattarello is the gritty barrio's best known Italian cantina. Inside, travel posters advertising various parts of the motherland line the walls underneath the exposed ductwork and acoustic-tiled ceiling. Dishes are true-to-form classics from Genoa and Emilia Romagna, such as stuffed tortelli, stracinate, and mushroom risotto. Loyal regulars, who pack the joint on the weekends, don't seem to be turned off by the somewhat higher prices aimed at tourists, who have also discovered the restaurant.
Insider Tip:
The restaurant is named after a mattarello, sometimes spelled matterello, which is a thin rolling pin, often without handles, that is used for rolling out pasta by hand.

They serve the city, study Scripture, pray, plan social events, develop new leaders, and help each other in times of need – in other words they act like a church. In this way, we follow a long Christian pattern of meeting both in large gatherings and "house to house." (Acts 5:42)
These smaller groups of people provide an opportunity to know others and be known within Resonate community. Through these relationships, we mutually challenge and encourage one another to truly believe our Identity in Christ and live a life that shows the world who God truly is.
Each missional community has identified their unique mission within the larger community and meets regularly to eat, learn, pray and be together on mission, living out the Gospel in real and tangible expressions.
Whether you consider yourself part of Resonate family — or if you're just checking out what it looks like to live as Jesus lived — it is our desire that everyone would be an active member in one of these communities that bring life, healing and growth.

Property Name:
St. Paul's Church
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
Sandy Bottom Road, Sandy Bottom, Kent County
Saint Paul's Church is surrounded by a graveyard with a few of its stones bearing 18th century dates. The church measures 30' x 40' with a semicircular apse on the east gable. After 1841, a robing room was built on the north side of the apse, which was enlarged in 1967. Around 1908, an organ room was built on the north side of the nave. Facing west, St. Paul's entrance gable is laid in Flemish bond brickwork interrupted only by the semicircular arched entrance and window above. A pair of rectangular doors closes beneath the arched panel with quatrefoil fret. The window has 4/4 sash and appears to have been lengthened from its original size. There is a slight kick to the eaves, as in several churches in Virginia. An overhanging eave is a 19th century feature, as are the cornice returns with their shaped modillions. On the south side the original cornice with plain modillion blocks can be seen. This facade is also laid in Flemish bond and is interrupted by two wide, semi-circular arched windows and a former entrance with arches of rubbed and gauged brick. The west window has a pair of 9/9 sash windows with a panel above like that of the west entrance and a pair of louvered blinds. The east window is completely filled with a stained glass representation of Christ bearing a lamb, installed in 1912. A brick chimney rises nearly in the center of the wall. Glazed headers enliven the Flemish bond of the east apse. In the center of the apse is a large opening, which is arched and has a three-part 19th century window with semicircular headed units. The stained glass has the symbols of the Trinity, Holy Spirit, and the Episcopal Shield. A conical roof covers the apse. West of the church, along the road, stands the 18th century vestry house. As is evident from the glazed date in the north gable, the one-story brick building was constructed in 1766. The initials IOT beneath the date probably identify the builder. Each side facade is identical, with two windows with 6/6 sash and paneled shutters and a paneled central door. There is an exterior chimney on the south end of the building and an interior chimney on the north end. Both facades are laid in Flemish bond with glazed headers. Inside, the only features original to the building are the two fireplaces. Paneling, plaster, and the brick paving are additions/restorations of the 1960s.
St. Paul's architectural significance lies in the fact that it is the earliest existing Episcopal church building on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, except for the restored Trinity Church, Church Creek. The brickwork, semicircular apse, and original fenestration are rare survivors from the early 18th century. St. Paul's is an obvious amalgam of three centuries of growth and change and boasts of that character. Its vestry building is a remarkable survivor from the 18th century, and the graveyard is the handsomest on the Eastern Shore because of the huge boxwood and oak trees and its location adjacent to a mill pond. From the standpoint of religion, St. Paul's is one of the first parishes established by the Colonial Assembly in 1692 for the dissemination of the Church of England throughout the province. It has remained an active parish from that time.


text: First-time author Lisa Hilton's study of the stunning and witty Athenais de Montespan, the most infamous of Louis XIV's mistresses, unfolds amid the dangerous liaisons of the Sun King's court. If you can navigate the various intrigues of the French nobility, this is a fascinating look at a decadent world, in which Athenais' seduction of the king, reign as maitresse, and scandalous downfall are chronicled in compulsive detail. Hilton's highly sympathetic portrait casts Athenais as the heroine of a touching love story -- which just happens to have taken place at the center of European civilization: ''Like all lovers, Athenais and Louis must have lain...in one another's arms believing the world made new for them. In their case, it was true.''

Johannes Cabal was just your average, everyday scientist trying to cure death before he gave up on science and turned to necromancy. To become a necromancer, all he had to do was sell his soul to the devil. Which was fine, he didn't think he'd need it. Turns out he was wrong, though, so he goes to hell to get it back. Only once there, he finds the devil's not so interested in returning it. At least not without making things interesting. So, Cabal and the devil agree on a little wager: If Cabal can collect 100 souls in the span of one year, the devil will return his soul to him. Cabal accepts the challengenot that he really had any choice, unless he wanted to settle for eternal damnationand returns to Earth to discover that the devil haskindly? provided him with a traveling carnival, which Cabal must use in his attempts to acquire those hundred souls.
If Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman had collaborated on another book after Good Omens, or Christopher Moore had been raised in the UK by devil-worshiping carnies, or J. K. Rowling had decided to write a humorous novel but had a cold, black lump of coal in her chest where a heart would otherwise be, Johannes Cabal the Necromancer is the book they, he, or she might have written. Which is to say a laugh-out-loud funny fantasy, with liberal doses of the devil, darkness, and death.
To narrate such a text-one rife with numerous (and challenging) voices and requiring of impeccable comic timingwould be a tall order for any actor, but Christopher Cazenove makes it seem as child's play. His sonorous British tone matches up with Jonathan L. Howard's prose precisely, and he provides several unique voices, bringing a wide range of characters to life (some of which are dead!), resulting in a truly remarkabledare I say...flawless? audiobook production.
Given the subject matter of the novel, it's entirely possible Howard and Cazenove sold their souls in exchange for their incredible talents. If you run into either of them, be sure to read very carefully anything they ask you to sign... John Joseph Adams
He hastily sold his years ago in order to learn the laws of necromancy. But now, tormented by a dark secret, he travels to the fiery pits of Hell to retrieve it. Satan, who is incredibly bored these days, proposes a little wager: Johannes has one year to persuade 100 people to sign over their souls or he will be damned forever.
To make the bet even more interesting, Satan throws in that diabolical engine of deceit, seduction, and corruption known as a "traveling circus" to aid in the evil bidding. What better place exists to rob poor sad saps of their souls than the traveling carnivals historically run by hucksters and legendary con men?
With little time to lose, Johannes raises a motley crew from the dead and enlists his brother, Horst, a charismatic vampire (an unfortunate side effect of Johannes's early experiments with necromancy), to be the carnival's barker. On the road through the pastoral English countryside, this team of reprobates wields their black magic with masterful ease, resulting in mayhem at every turn.
Johannes may have the moral conscience of anthrax, but are his tricks sinful enough to beat the Devil at his own game? You'll never guess, and that's a promise!
Brilliantly written and wickedly funny, Johannes Cabal the Necromancer combines the chills and thrills of old-fashioned gothic tales like The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the mischievous humor of Wicked, and the sophisticated charms of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and spins the Faustian legend into a fresh, irreverent, and irresistible new adventure.
©2009 Jonathan L. Howard; (P)2009 Random House
"Methadone your Gaiman or Pratchett fix"
Yes, I'm one of those. Gaiman and Pratchett can't write them fast enough and Adams is currently dead (for tax reasons, I believe). Howard isn't as funny, but he's got dark and ironic down--which is more than enough to stave off the withdraw shakes for another day. And, in all fairness, this is a better showing for an early work than most of Pratchett's first several books. As far as audio goes, Christopher Cazenove does a superb job talking us through this freak show.
"Masterpiece Comedy"
This isn't just a book that has many moments that made me laugh out loud. It's well told narrative with suspense and twists.
If it was just a comedy I wouldn't give this five stars. But it's clever, passionate, well narrated and beautifully sarcastic.
I had as much fun listening to this as I had 30 years ago reading Bored of the Rings or in the 80's and 90's reading Good Omens or the first few Xanth novels by Piers Anthony. Also, if you like passionately fun novels like Infected/Contagious you also might like this, too.
"Fun macabre, occult, tale in Belle Époque Britain"
Fun story, great historical setting, humorous situations & dialogue, interesting characters, rich prose and a narrator who just knocked it out of the park. If you agree with my other reviews, trust me on this on this one.
I love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
"The Necromancer as Diabolic Showman"
Johannes Cabal once sold his soul to the devil in return for necromantic knowledge that would propel him towards his goal in the dark arts, only to discover that his soullessness always skews the results of his black scientific experiments. Therefore, he makes a wager with Satan: if he can get 100 people to sign their souls over to the devil within one year, Satan will return Cabal???s soul to him. To ???help??? Cabal, Satan gives him the use of an infernal traveling carnival and a ball of Satanic blood with which to conjure up workers and attractions. The penalty for failure is Cabal???s death and damnation.
Thus begins Jonathan L. Howard???s macabre, humorous, and strangely moving novel Johannes Cabal the Necromancer. Howard???s fresh takes on hellish horror tropes like vampires, ghosts, demons, warlocks, imps, zombies, and Lovecraftian cults, is entertaining. His similes are often funny and original, as when the smoke from the infernal train engine rises up to the sky like the pyres of witches or martyrs. I liked much of the social satire, about, for instance, the insanity of war or men who beat women. Sometimes Howard???s jokes and allusions are a bit too contemporary or cheap, as in revealing that Satan created lawyers or as in having Al Capone misspell ???venereal??? on the form he???s trying to fill in to enter hell. But Cabal is a fascinating anti-hero protagonist, his relationship with his big brother Horst is compelling, and his mysterious reason for being a necromancer is intriguing. And the climax and resolution of the novel are suspenseful and satisfying (though I could have done with a little less of Layla the Latex Lady).
Christopher Cazenove marvelously reads the novel (as he does with The Merry Adventures of Robinhood and Peter Pan), with perfect rhythm and clear enunciation and varied voices for different characters, from Cabal???s stiff, cold, and slightly Germanic accent through Bones??? ingratiating Americanisms and Satan???s infernal humor and silk and rage. Fans of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman ought to enjoy this book.
"Absolutely wonderful narrator"
The narrator was just the best that could be for this story. His accents were great, all of them. The story has a solid pace, somewhat like Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, you either like it or you don't.The humour is as dry as an autumn leaf, and thinly served up, so as not to overwhelm. A very good listen.
A great book to cheer you up while stuck in rush hour traffic! Very funny and well performed.
I like scifi and urban fantasy. I don't like romance novels. If you are the same my reviews should help.
"And now for something completely different."
Yes, it is a funny read and above all it is something different from the main stream.
Maybe some Terry Pratchet novels. He has a very dry sense of humor and pokes subtle fun at a lot of the genre tropes.
He captured the feel and characters perfectly. He really did a great job and helped bring the story to life. I read the book first and it could get a bit dry in spots, but the narrator made it all interesting.
The Cthulu song by the mad sorceror's cracked me up.
Great humor, a fun read. Be warned the second book is ok, but not near as good as the first. I am waiting for the third novel to see if the author picks it back up.
"More johannes please"
Perfect pitch dark fantasy comedy.Dripping with sarcasm and wit, johannes and his brother weave a great story. Fans of Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett will not be disappointed.
"Deathly entertaining"
Howard has created some very memorable character in this unique story of morals on earth and below. A race against time, brotherly competition and love are all entertainingly intertwined. Listen deeply or on the surface...you'll find whatever you are looking for.
"Great narration, not great story"
I really wanted to like this book. The narrator was amazing and the premise sounded great. I just couldn't get into it. I must have restarted it three times before I finally made myself stick to it. In the end I listened to it at triple speed just to finish it. I just couldn't make myself care about Johannes Cabal. I like anti-heros as much as the next gal but this guy was just "anti", no "hero".

Estonia, 2010, 45 Minute Running Time
Saturday August 10th, 9:15pm SKY SONG – it is an ode for all of those who like to fly.
Is it possible to reach the moon in one breath? Yes, it is if you have the will to fly and the appropriate training. This is the case with postman Rain.
This is an animation full of experimenting with form and materials. Some of the characters are original, but some originate from the history of mankind. The film is full of symbols and symbolism, syrreal images and scenes.
This is not simply the journey of a postman to deliver the package to the Moon. It is also a philosophical journey in time and eras, through people and their characters, through thaugths and imagination. This is a visual version of thoughts and imagination of a postman who is fulfilling his task inspite of all problems and distractions.

Frid'Eh Update #6 Presented by Fly Racing
By Kyle Carruthers, Jeff McConkey, and Billy Rainford
Week #6 belongs to Gavin Gracyk.
Bigwave photo
Hello, everyone, and welcome to week #6 of the Frid'Eh Update presented by Fly Racing. For 2014, #6 will be American rider Gavin Gracyk. Gracyk has raced the Canadian nationals a few times and last year was a member of the Redemption Racing team with Texan Chad Goodwin as his mechanic. This is a tough time of year for me because we haven't seen a lot of our racers since they earned their 2014 numbers, so finding a new photo of them is next to impossible. Gavin is one of the friendliest pro riders at the races and I recommend going to his pits to say hello. He returned to our series in 2012 after not being on a bike for some time after a wrist injury and managed to race himself into shape and to a solid #4 for the 2013 season.
Since we last saw him at the final round at Walton Raceway, Gavin has been competing in the AMSOIL Arenacross Series. So far, his best finish has been a 2nd in the Arenacross Main in Worcester, MA. Interestingly, he's racing with the #33 which belonged to his Redemption Racing teammate and fellow KTM rider Eric Jeffery.
As of this Update, we were unable to get in touch with Gavin directly as the series has moved west to Sacramento, CA this weekend. Good luck, Gavin, and watch for an update with him as soon as we can get it here on DMX.
Kyle Carruthers
Thanks, Billy, and this Update is once again sponsored by Fly Racing. Fly is one of the number one gear companies backing Canadian Motocross and they are one of the many that deserve your support. In fact, as you can see, this week's Update is dedicated to Gavin Gracyk who has been with Fly for a few years now as he rode for Redemption Racing. Fly always kept Gavin styling and well protected on the track and with their new 2014 line up we know you guys won't be disappointed. Check out www.flyracing.com or your local Gamma Dealer to take a peek at what Fly is offering this Spring.
When is winter going to stop kicking us in the face? I know I am usually one to love the snow as I am one of the few who enjoy the moto off-season to partake in activities involving snowmobiles and I know Moto Park owner Iain Hayden likely agrees with me on that statement, but I am sure many of you like me are sick of having to plow the driveway 5 times a week, sometimes twice a day! But we all need to take a step back and look at the positives. Snow this year in Ontario and the eastern part of Canada means dealers are selling sleds again which in turn makes their business healthy which gives them some space to help support our great sport of motocross this coming spring. The powersports industry is one big circle and one thing affects the other especially on the dealer level.
Contrary to what Billy says, I do read his work and did take a look at his great article called "To Whoops or not to Whoops". This was a great feature written by him, and it has really got me thinking about standing in the shoes of a track owner or race promoter. I have always said one job that may not be that much fun sometimes in this industry is exactly that, a race promoter or a track promoter. Like Billy said, it seems to be impossible to make everyone happy and the sad reality in life for most people is that it only takes one or two negative comments to bring someone's morale down or ruin their day. As humans we are compliant driven. It only takes one person to speak up about something to bring attention to it even if the rest of the group is happy with the way the situation is. Funny how that works, eh? So let's use this minute to thank all the sanctioning bodies, track owners, and race promoters for everything they do. Sure, it may not always be perfect to your liking but try to put yourselves in their shoes for a few minutes and look at it from a different perspective.
The Toronto Supercross is rolling into town again on the March 22nd and DMX will be back with our annual Supercross Pre-race and After-parties once again at the Houston Bar and Grill downtown Toronto. More details will be announced on that in the coming weeks as we get ready to once again "bring the house down" with a gathering of industry folk and great Supercross fans alike.
I am sure many of you know by now about the new relationship of Husqvarna and KTM. Husky kicked off its first dealer meeting last week in California and thanks to new Husky Dealer Cycle North's Kourtney Loyld I came across this link. Everyone I talked to who attended the meet came away very impressed with the new line up of motorcycles from this premium European brand.
Jeff McConkey
Hey, guys. It is Friday yet again and we were treated to another great weekend of racing both north and south of the border. Before I get started, I'd like to give a shout out and get well wishes to one of my favourite mini rippers, Tanner Ward. Tanner was racing an arenacross in Wisconsin when disaster struck leaving him with a broken tib/fib on both legs and a broken wrist. Tanner is a true champion and will no doubt be all healed up and stronger than ever in no time. Get well soon, Tanner!
Now I'd like to talk about whether or not it's a good thing for our young Canadian racers and their families to travel to these long distance races. I just feel the risk is far greater than the reward. We have Canadian racers from the 50cc class all the way to the pro class competing in arenacross races south of the border. In my opinion, it is not the best idea for racers until they hit the intermediate class. For the most part, young Canadian racers haven't been riding (due to the snow) and they are definitely not used to the huge technical obstacles. It costs a ton of money to get to these races and I feel the money would be better spent on lessons. It's not like these 50cc kids are actually doing any of the obstacles on the track anyways. They are just out there rolling everything. And let's say you win a race, or even a championship in one of their brief regional series? What does that get you? Does it help get you a ride, even though most of the industry knows that the majority of the super-fast kids are preparing for outdoors and/or racing Winter Ams?
For the most part, sponsors up in Canada are looking for racers to represent them and their product in their own Canadian series where all their clientele can see. The ups to attending these races can be that you get to stay on the bike while most of your competition is back home shoveling snow. But the downs can be serious injury and possibility of missing some of or all of your Canadian outdoor series which is honestly a huge priority to Canadian sponsors. Anyways, that's just my opinion on the situation and I wish all of the young Canadians lining up for these races the best of luck and hope they all stay safe.
Now let's move onto the real action! The AMA SX series had their 5th round this past weekend in Anaheim. Like the previous 4 rounds, A3 did not disappoint. Now here are my thoughts on the results:
250 West SX
1st: Dean Wilson - This is the Dean Wilson I expected at round 1. Dean is looking like the real Deano and should be in the mix every weekend now till Vegas.
2nd: Cole Seely - I really don't think Seely is mentally strong enough to close out this championship. He has had 2 chances now with Anderson being docked points and then cleaned out by his teammate and he still can't capitalise on it. He will not win this championship!
3rd: Cooper Webb - Another great ride by the rookie. He looks really great, but I still don't think he is ready to win one yet, but the podiums will keep coming.
4th: Justin Hill - Solid ride by Hill. He needs to get better starts so he can battle with the leaders and get back on the podium.
5th: Jason Anderson - This could be the ride that salvages the championship for Anderson. After an average start and on his way through the pack he was cleaned out by Malcolm Stewart. Jason put his head down and rode the wheels off his KTM and got a solid 5th. This will be your 250 West champ!
6th: Malcolm Stewart - Malcolm had a good ride, but it honestly looked like he made no attempt at all to turn right and cleaned out Anderson with a dirty move.
7th: Jake Canada - Decent ride for Canada after injury, but disappointing that he moved backwards.
8th: Shane McElrath - I thought Shane would be the slowest of the 4 TLD team riders but he gets it done week after week. He is having a great start to the season.
Biggest Surprise: I'm surprised the mighty Geico team only has two 3rd place finishes, and didn't have a rider in the night program as both of their riders Zach Bell and Zach Osborne are out with injuries.
Biggest Stud: I have 2 this week: Stud 1 is Dean Wilson. He backed up last week's performance and is on the gas! My 2nd stud is Jason Anderson for never giving up and coming out of A3 tied for the points lead after getting cleaned out bad by Seely's teammate Stewart.
Biggest Dud: Even though the racing up front has been fantastic, the regularly stacked 250 West seems low on talent to me. We are seeing a lot of "who is that?" and a lot of 3-digit numbers in the mains.
1st: Chad Reed - Chad passed for the lead right away and looked great all the way to the checkers. Reed is definitely gunning for this title.
2nd: Ken Roczen - Ken was right there with Reed all the way to the finish just waiting for a tiny mistake from the 22. Unfortunately for him, CR22 didn't falter. But it was a great ride by the young German nonetheless.
3rd: Ryan Villopoto - Ryan rode a good solid race, but was just off the pace a tad due to the slick A3 dirt.
4th: Justin Barcia - Finally, Barcia is moving forward and not backwards. He still needs to pick it up if he wants to run with the top 3.
5th: Weston Peick - Great ride from the guy with the least. It's nice to see Peick get a top 5.
6th: Justin Brayton - Solid ride for Brayton. This is where I see him week in and week out.
7th: James Stewart –James' bad luck will run out soon and he will catch a break and win one.
8th: Jake Weimer - Jake needs more results like this if he wants a good ride next year in my opinion.
Biggest Surprise: Chad Reed! Even though I am a huge fan, Chad keeps surprising me week in and week out.
Biggest Stud: It has got to be Weston Peick. Great ride from the guy with the least.
Biggest Dud: Josh Grant. I realise Josh is hurt, but, in my opinion, Josh riding around out there half-assed makes zero sense when they have fill-in rider Phil Nicoletti chomping at the bit to get a chance. Let's see what Filthy Phil has!
San Diego Predictions
250 West
1st: Jason Anderson
2nd: Justin Hill
3rd: Dean Wilson
4th: Cooper Webb
5th: Malcolm Stewart
6th: Darryn Durham
1st: Ryan Dungey
2nd: Chad Reed
3rd: James Stewart
4th: Ken Roczen
5th: Eli Tomac
6th: Ryan Villopoto
That's it for me this week. Stay safe and I'll see you all next week. #smileforBC
Billy Rainford
Hello, everyone. Thanks for checking in with us here on DMX for another Frid'Eh Update. I have been staying out in beautiful BC this week between rounds of the Future West Kawasaki Canadian Arenacross Championships. The weather has been unseasonably cold out here on the coast. Sure, it's sunny but with the clear skies always seem to come the cold temperatures. There's always something to complain about when it comes to the weather out here! As I sit here typing, there are massive chunks of ice floating down the Fraser River just outside the kitchen window. Hey, when your house is on a river, does the water side become the front like on a lake? Both Dex Koeleman and Kyle Springman said that they don't remember ever seeing chunks of ice this far down the river. It actually looks pretty cool. I thought they were white caps the first morning they showed up. Anyway, this cold snap means nobody has been able to ride outside locally. I was really hoping to remove my flash and get some daylight photos this week, but…
What all that means is that I have been confined to the house or Chilliwack Heritage Park while riders hit the arenacross track. Here's a look at some things from this week:
This is what the Cattermole area looked like this week. Yes, it's as cold as it looks! Where else can you pull off the Trans Canada Highway, unload bikes, and ride on the edge of a river?
Bigwave photo
Whether the racing is indoors or out, the mountainous backdrop never gets old out here in BC.
Bigwave photo
Cycle North TLD Honda rider Ross Johnson took advantage of some track time this week. He was tripling over the finish line but when I went to video it my camera magically shut down. Anyway, I'm sure lots of riders will be doing it tonight and Saturday.
Bigwave photo
It was great to see Californian Sean Hamblin's smooth style out on the track. He toyed with the idea of lining up in the BC Legends class this weekend, but...
Bigwave photo
He was out giving GA Checkpoint Yamaha rider Dylan Delaplace some help. By the end of the session Dylan had the whoops section dialed pretty well.
Bigwave photo
Delaplace is coming off a pesky thumb injury and will probably sit out again this weekend.
Bigwave photo
The hundreds of trophies are here and ready to be handed out this weekend.
Bigwave photo
I had no idea who the fast and stylish #12 was on the Honda. Turns out it was Atlas Brace inventor Brady Sheren putting in a few laps.
Bigwave photo
Freestyler Jason Thorne put in a bunch of laps on a couple different bikes, including Ryan Lockhart's MRM Kawasaki 450.
Bigwave photo
Have I mentioned I still struggle with flash photography in the last 5 minutes?
Bigwave photo
#4 Cycle North Red Bull Oakley Fox Honda rider Jeremy Medaglia leads his teammate Ross Johnson by 1 point for the overall with two weekends of racing remaining. You should probably get out here to watch.

The Florida Winter Ams have finished and the final series points have been posted. Here's a look at how a couple of our Canadians did:

|Mason Price
|Bryce Mauldin

The series wraps up this weekend at the finals in Tunica, Mississippi.
That's going to do it for this week. Pro practice starts soon over at 'Beaton's Barn' so I have to go get ready for another great night of arenacross racing! Like we keep saying, there are at least 8 riders lined up for the Pro classes here that could pull off a win. It should be another great weekend. Be sure to check back here on DMX for the full main events videos.
See you at the races...

Racers race
Gee Mc Conkey, now you want all the Canadians to stay home and not race in the USA? Nobody has ever gotten any better by not doing something. And what has racing any Canadian series got anyone anyways? Maybe a plastic number plate if that. Its disgraceful. So why not race south of the border and learn.
No wonder Canadian MX has got worse and not better, with these kinds of attitudes. Anybody can get hurt practising, so the risk is always there. You can never develop as a racer without actually racing, so encourage people to race as much as they can, not hold them back.
No wonder we stink at MXoN when we have a country filled with racers that rarely race, thanks to the attitudes of the Canadian industry.

text: He was released by the Falcons. I liked this guy when he was available when they first signed him. He's been injury plagued. (see below) However he played ILB next to RayLu when the Ravens were running a 3-4 full time and played it quite well. I think this guy's stock is at a low and could be somebody worth taking a shot at. Give him an incentive PT contract. He would help boost veteran depth at the position if the price is right. "Hartwell played only 13 games in two seasons after signing a $26.25 million contract. He received a four-year contract and $8.5 million signing bonus when he left Baltimore two years ago to bolster the Falcons' run defense. But he tore an Achilles' tendon in just the fifth game with his new team, knocking him out for the rest of the 2005 season. Shortly before last season, Hartwell underwent arthroscopic surgery on both knees, delaying his return. He wound up starting only 11 games in two seasons with the Falcons."

I was the one who had just taken a continental stitch class and was showing off my backwards version of a Peruvian pearl. (The yarn was going the wrong way around my neck because I was doing a garter stitch.) :-)

This was a great way to memorialize my first Stitches event. I hate having my picture taken, but you made it a LOT of fun!Kathyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-7539735486615203762007-08-14T17:48:00.000-04:002007-08-14T17:48:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kathyhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-61193232881657099012007-08-14T13:43:00.000-04:002007-08-14T13:43:00.000-04:00YEAH!!!!(((hugs)))YEAH!!!!

It's not as huge as Rhinebeck or Maryland S & W and has that lovely country feel to it. You would be coddled by a lovely group of men and women knitters and spinners who would attend to most of your needs, and get to sample lovely wines from the area.FiberQathttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-50596521074919661082007-08-14T10:52:00.000-04:002007-08-14T10:52:00.000-04:00So are you thinking about kicking it up to 10,000 ...So are you thinking about kicking it up to 10,000 knitters?
