I think that I will have to stop reading the newspaper. Some of the articles are just too, too much for this old mind of mine to grasp.
We have a fashion column that I sometimes read a paragraph or two. The latest fashion news is somewhat beyond me. But today, there was a little thing about water proof mascara for the beach. (nothing worse than going in the water and coming out with black streaks down your cheeks) And So, I read on about it. Ok, wonderful news until I got to the name of the manufacturer. It was put out by......are you ready? Brace yourself.....URBAN DECAY Would you put URBAN DECAY on your face? Especially near your eyes? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, think of the women who slather themselves with Poison (perfume). Im not surprised that Decay follows Poison. I don't put anything near my eyes. Too many reports of bacteria found in mascara, etc. causing infections. Sure, there are those who think that I (and other silver-heads) would "look better" wearing makeup, but I just don't care that much about the opinion of someone who is more interested in my looks than in my mind/character/sense of humor. I do care about my vision and refuse to risk it. |

I'm sure I'm not one of their target audience in their ads. Never heard about them before. However, they seem to have a customer base, because they say they have been in business for 15 years. Someone must be buying their stuff. |
It's more fun watching my daughters and DGD's when they're all dressed up to go somewhere special---they're just gorgeous and I get to watch the homefront while they're out and about--- HGTV on their flat-screen---here I come! I think I look ghastly in makeup, now---hate the stuff. There was one exceptional woman in Atlanta some years back---ran into her in the ladies room of a restaurant---in her 70's or maybe, 80's, every shiny white hair in place, make-up was perfect, I'm still in awe when I remember her. |

BEST CHEESE COURSE Denver 2006 - Duo
We're consistently amazed by the lengths to which some restaurants will go to find the weirdest, funkiest, most hyper-regional cheeses to fill out their boards. There have been cheeses produced only in one tiny region of Italy or France, at one monastery, or by a blind, six-toed virgin who takes her cheese-making directions directly from God. But Duo brings the cheese plate back to basics, relying on six small pieces of perfectly preserved and presented cheeses that never forgo taste for adventurous culinary one-upmanship. The cheeses are balanced like a color wheel, going from mildest to most powerful, and have some common strains that make the arrangement sensible rather than haphazard. On one night a washed cow's-milk cheese will be followed by a goat's-milk of the same variety; on another, three goat cheeses from different producing areas offer three very different goatish flavors. Duo's cheese plate is a perfect end to a perfect meal.

DTH Hammer BitsDrill King International, L.P. is a world class manufacturer of percussion drilling products. With over 20 years experience, our commitment to excellence ensures a reliable product that will perform every time. We utilize the latest technologies in engineering to produce cutting edge designs. We use methods that meet aerospace standards in manufacturing superior quality hammers and bits.Drill King products reflect our vision to stay on the frontline meeting the demands in the industry. We will custom design products to best suit your needs. We take pride in being one of the only manufacturers that has a diverse line of DTH bits that range from 2" -42" in diameter for use in most all leading hammer shanks. We design and manufacture our bits in a wide variety of face configurations as there are many different rock formations and drilling environments. We offer an extensive range of tungsten carbide grades and shapes as well as Diamond Enhanced carbide buttons. CC KRUSHER BIT FLAT FACE BIT The FLAT FACE bit is simple and robust face design, best suited for very hard formations. It can also be used in soft formations where vertical deviation is not a priority. CONCAVE BIT The CONCAVE bit is suited for most drilling conditions, as this design holds a very straight hole due to the tapered recess in the face of the bit. This recess or so-called "dish" causes a slight coring action, which helps keep the hole straight, while providing for excellent penetration and good air flushing of the hole. DROP CENTER BIT The DROP CENTER bit, as it name suggests, features a recess in the impact face. This recess provides a coring action, which helps keep the hole straight. This is a custom-made design, as it is not very common nowadays. CONVEX BIT The CONVEX bit is suited for very hard and abrasive formations as it incorporates two different gage rows leading up to the flat impact face. The inner gage row helps to protect the outer row from excessive wear. STANDARD SHANKS AVAILABLE
NOTE: The above diameters are the most common size range for the specified hammers. Please call for other size quotes. We specialize in making custom-sized bits, and will consider most requests. Questions? |

Welcome to the first week of April! Now that all of the internet jokes, gags, and pranks are out of the way it's time to settle in with another week of movies and TV shows on DVD to keep you entertained at home. Like every other week of the year this one features a fairly interesting array of titles that run the gamut from the good to the bad, but we also get two offbeat comedies that I think are worth a purchase for fans of oddball romances and charmingly humorous characters. Oh. And two shitty Tron movies hit shelves this week too. Year Of the Carnivore A young woman named Samantha Smalls (Cristin Milioti) has a terrible sexual experience with her guitarist crush, and he suggests she cut loose, have fun, and gain some more experience in bed. And so she does… and along the way she learns everything you'd expect her to in an oddball, indie comedy from Canada. Milioti is adorable, endearing, and truth be told pretty damn sexy as the shy tomboy who giggles whenever guys touch her, and the movie features more than a few laugh out loud scenes of highly inappropriate self discovery.
This Week in Blu-ray: Tron, Tron's Legacy, Taxi Driver, Little Pigs and Fockers
Blu-ray Spotlight By Neil Miller on April 5, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis Week in Blu-ray, it's off to the late 70s, early 80s, mid 90s and the future as seen through the mind of a computer. I won't even dare mention the trip back to the home of The Fockers, as it's but a slight detour on our road to an excellent week of Blu-ray releases. So get ready for the old, the new and all of the best in-betweens, because it's time to go shopping. TRON: Special Edition It's time to go back to where it all began. That's what Disney did with this wonderful release, they went back to a time when TRON was new and incredible and captured it. We often see releases touting a "restored" or "enhanced" version of a pre-DVD era film, but rarely to we see a release with such a noticeable restoration. There is a vibrancy and pulsing energy to the world of TRON on Blu-ray that was never included on any DVD release. The journey of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) inside the computer has never been so life-like, nor has it ever looked so now. As the cherry, the TRON Blu-ray is lined with special features — several hours worth, to say the least. The best of them is "The TRON Phenomenon," a look at the pop culture impact of Steven Lisberger's technoventure. If you found yourself wondering why folks were so emotionally invested in TRON: Legacy's release, this featurette helps give you the why. The Blu-ray itself is a big slice of […]
Talking Heads: About That Proof That Movies Are Getting Worse
Features By Scott Beggs on February 25, 2011 | Comments (2)Every week, Landon Palmer and Cole Abaius log on to their favorite chat client of 1996 as BlurryProjector and TheGeneralRulz in order to discuss some topical topic of interest. This week, they ponder the wildly wide-spread Mark Harris article, "The Day the Movies Died," alongside the new infographic proving movies have gotten worse. We really need a scapegoat, huh? Is marketing really to blame? Are movies really getting worse? If so, how do we, the fans, fix them?
Razzie Nominations Announced, Fragile Egos Bruised
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 24, 2011 | Comments (12)The moment that Ricky Gervais secretly waits for every year is upon us. The nominations for the 31st Golden Raspberry Awards are in. The Razzies is a different kind of awards show, not one that heaps false praise on people that it doesn't respect, but one that dishonors the worst work of the year. No, their nominees for Worst Picture aren't quite as bad as the Golden Globe nominees for Best Picture – Comedy or Musical, but it's still generally considered an insult to earn Razzie recognition, and God forbid you actually win. Looking over this year's nominees has left me in a confused emotional state. The only film I've seen that on here is The Expendables. Does that make me a bad film fan or a smart consumer? Can one truly appreciate the good if he hasn't waded through most of the bad? In 2011, I solemnly vow to see more bad movies.
The Reject Report's Got No Strings To Hold It Down
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on January 21, 2011 | Be the First To CommentYeah. Now get that song out of your head. Good luck with that. When you're done, head on out to see a movie. There isn't much new to partake in this weekend, but, if you're a big fan of Natalie Portman, Bruce Willis' son, or Olivia Thirlby (we can just assume on that last one), then you might want to check out the lone candidate for new releases. You enjoy the rest of the report. I'm gonna continue to sing Pinocchio songs to myself.
I know. I know. The Green Reject Report? That's the best you can come up with? It's not like it's a title we might not use every again. When Green Zone hit last year, it opened against a few other notable titles that took the headline (This Week's Reject Report Is Out Of My League). With Green Lantern hitting this coming June, another opportunity to use this week's title might present itself. But we don't think about the future. We cross those bridges when we come to them. So, while we're eating our red meat and smoking our cigarettes, we'll just do with The Green Reject Report for this week. Onto the movies.
Box Office: The Coens Show Definite Grit
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on January 9, 2011 | Comments (1)No, this ain't no coon hunt, but the Coens fought tooth and nail. Here in its third weekend of release, True Grit has taken the top spot from Little Fockers, and the Western has effortlessly become the Coen Brothers' most successful film of all time.
The Season of the Reject Report
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on January 6, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt rolls with the tides, changes with every season, and just when you thought it couldn't get any stranger, Nicolas Cage's hair turns into an alien and runs rampant. It might even begin killing people at any moment, so best be prepared. This new hairstyle stands alone as the only new kid on the box office block, but that doesn't mean it will come out the winner. It will have Rooster Cogburn, Fockers, and Gwyneth being Country Strong to fight off before it can rest easy, awaiting Ghost Rider 2 when it will awaken from its slumber and go back on the defensive
Box Office: 2010 Ends On a Note
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on January 3, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt's not necessarily a high one with Little Fockers (read our review), a film with deservedly little recommendation coming from critics, topping the box office charts. With less than a 15% drop from its first weekend, it was able to snake its way over True Grit, which did anything but bow out its second go at a weekend take. Both films led the charge on the final weekend of 2010/first weekend of 2011.
The Reject Report Drops the New Years Ball
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on December 31, 2010 | Be the First To CommentWith the year drawing to a close this very weekend, there isn't much in the way of new releases to talk about. Only two films are opening this weekend, both of them in limited, and only one of those really worth mentioning in any amount of detail. The rest of the cards have been set. Many of them will be falling into the same slots where they were dealt last weekend save for a few shakeups here and there. The Fockers might get knocked down a peg or two. Rooster Cogburn might fill those theaters, you son of a bitch. The King's Speech could hold onto its numbers just well enough to squeak onto the charts. All in all, it seems like good weekend for some Four Loko, a few friends, and a dropping ball that may or may not hold Snookie inside.
Box Office: 'Fockers' Come Out on Top
Box Office By Jeremy Kirk on December 28, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThose Little Fockers and the way they can pull in the coinage. Sure the latest outing from Gaylord Focker and his overbearing father-in-law didn't muster up the same type of business as the last entry in the Focker franchise. Meet the Fockers made $46.1 million in its opening, Christmas weekend. It was able to hurdle just over the debut of 2001's Meet the Parents, which made $28.6 million in its first three days. Despite this lack of bravado when it comes to opening numbers, Little Fockers is doing just fine, already at $80.4 million worldwide against a reported $100-million budget. Fockers Four might be in our future, and whether the cinematic world is rejoicing or not is yet to be seen.
Fill your hands, you son of a bitch! Sure, it's the Christmas season, and everyone in the family is huddled around the computer reading this. Sure, you probably don't abide by adult language when the kids are around, but this is the Old West, people, and raw dialogue is the least of your worries. Besides, sons of bitches is the least of your worries when you've got Little Fockers roaming the cineplexes, and that movie will probably come out on top here.
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: December 24, 2010
Features By Kevin Carr on December 24, 2010 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr dresses up in a big red suit and sneaks into people's houses. The only difference is that he sneaks into the houses of all the naughty girls. But before he can manage that undertaking, he sets his sights on the last wash of movies hitting the multiplexes this season. He travels with Jack Black to the Bermuda Triangle in Gulliver's Travels then heads out west to catch a killer with True Grit. Finally, he brings his Christmas movie watching to a close by stabbing himself in the face with Little Fockers. Ho ho ho, the humanity!
'Little Fockers' Review: There's Nothing Like Moldy Leftovers
Movie Reviews By Robert Levin on December 22, 2010 | Comments (1)Here we are back again in Focker-dom, that wonderful place of crushing comic awkwardness, painful slapstick and the no less excruciating specter of great actors slumming for paychecks. Surely, the world did not need Little Fockers, this second sequel to the somewhat overrated Meet the Parents, but like an obligatory stocking-stuffer it has arrived – to cash in for Christmas – and must be dealt with.
We realize that you're probably sitting at home right now, chewing your own nails off and wondering what movies are coming out this month. Maybe you're even wondering why no one on the entire internet has said anything about them. Strange, we know. Fortunately, Rob Hunter and Cole Abaius spent the entire month of November dumpster diving in studio lots, mailing in proof of purchase codes on cereal boxes, and building trailers from old plywood to make sure that you, dear reader, are in the know about what's coming out in December. You watch movies, so this guide's for you.
Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are at it again. They are once again at odds in the world of family politics polluted by oft poorly timed puns about the name of a male nurse named Greg. And this time, there are Little Fockers involved in the shenanigans. And Harvey Keitel. It's hard to say what Keitel is doing in that equation, but it's beyond me to question this franchise. Twice now this franchise has spewed forth films that don't exactly look right upon first glance, and twice now it's delivered the funny. I give up trying to fight it.
The actress has just signed on for the third installment of the Meet the Parents franchise, and she'll have a few things to teach her co-stars.
Sequels Sequels Everywhere, and Not One Worth a Damn!
In Development By Rob Hunter on June 27, 2008 | Comments (16)Sequels are an inevitability for two reasons… greed and a dearth of creativity. It's a challenge to find a necessary sequel amongst all the crap, or even one that carries the original story to new and exciting places.

Earlier this week, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings returned to practice after missing Week 2 with a groin injury. It was widely reported that Jennings was healthy, and would most likely play in this Monday's tilt with the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy owners of Jennings and Packers QB Aaron Rodgers rejoiced! Their boy(s) was almost certain to make a huge impact this week, and they could feel it in their bones (I'm pretty sure that's a medical condition and they should probably get that looked at).
Turns out these celebrations were premature, and Jennings/Rodgers owners should re-cork the champagne and put away those ridiculous party hats. Jennings suffered a setback today in practice.
From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's coverage of Packers' coach Mike McCarthy's press conference:
Jennings worked rehab on Thursday. Didn't go as well as hoped. It wasn't what was expected when we saw him Tuesday. Saw him run, but didn't think he was ready to practice Tuesday. Will wait to see this week.
With Jennings suffering a set-back, I would keep him firmly planted on my bench. And if you are waiting until the last minute to make your decision, you should probably pick up another Green Bay WR just in case if possible.
This could be a good opportunity to pick up Randall Cobb, who's now far more widely owned than he was a few weeks ago, but is still somehow available in 30 percent of Yahoo leagues. With Jordy Nelson sliding up the WR depth chart, it's very likely that Cobb becomes the Packers' WR2.
Failing that, since it's Thursday and waiver claims went through early Wednesday morning, the free agent pickings are pretty thin. But if you're desperate and in a deep league, Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline is a decent emergency play despite his matchup this week that's the very opposite of good (still hate you, Darrelle Revis). He's owned in just 12 percent of Yahoo leagues, and had 111 receiving yards last week.
A better option could be Bengals wideout Andrew Hawkins, who gets the ball frequently in open space and is given the opportunity to break out for big gains. He has a still tough but more favorable matchup against the Redskins' secondary this week, and he's owned in only five percent of ESPN leagues after accumulating 156 receiving yards over two weeks, including a 50-yard TD in Week 2.
Look out, here comes more hurt…
- Steven Jackson (groin)- The Rams RB missed practice again today with a strained groin, and it looks unlikely that he'll play this weekend. [Jim Thomas]
- Calvin Johnson (ankle)- Megatron returned to practice today, but was limited. This shouldn't stop the Lions WR from playing against the Titans on Sunday, so you shouldn't hesitate to have him in your starting lineup. [Detroit Lions.com]
- Darrelle Revis (concussion)- Great news for owners of the Jets defense as Revis has been cleared for contact and will most likely play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. [Manish Mehta]
- Jonathan Stewart (toe)- The Panther's RB is very unlikely to suit up for tonight's game against the New York football Giants. Owners of backup DeAngelo Williams are all sporting inappropriate erections right now. [The Score]
- Pierre Garcon (foot)- Garcon was limited again today in practice, and Redskins' head coach Mike Shanahan isn't confident that the WR will make his return week. [Chris Russell]

Thanks to Madeline, the Hunchback, and Pascal's red balloon, most children have a vision of Paris long before they ever set foot in the city. They picture parks with trees lined up like soldiers, stone bridges with fancy lampposts, schoolgirls all in a row, and, of course, French bread tucked under every arm. The good news is that there's truth to their fantasies. It's easy to make your trip so très français that you'll return accompanied by little Gigis and Chevaliers who have discovered that real french fries never need ketchup and that Parisians know a thing or two about joie de vivre. Now, take a cue from the stirring national anthem: "Allons enfants."
• Pick up Paris par Arrondissement. This street guide, available through travel bookstores, shows detailed maps of each neighborhood. • Book hotel rooms well in advance. Paris is full of small, reasonably priced hotels, and though few have suites, many offer adjoining rooms good for families. (Chains such as Sofitel feature the American model of family accommodation but lack the French character you came for.) Two good candidates are the Hôtel de l'Abbaye (10 Rue Cassette; 33-1/45-44-38-11, fax 33-1/45-48-07-86; two adjoining rooms $356, including breakfast and taxes), close to the Jardin du Luxembourg on the Left Bank; and the more modest Grand Hôtel Jeanne d'Arc (3 Rue de Jarente; 33-1/48-87-62-11, fax 33-1/48-87-37-31; doubles $97), around the corner from the Place des Vosges on the Right Bank. • Children under 12 are admitted free to most museums , but grown-ups should purchase a pass (one-day, three-day, or five-day, available at museums and the tourist office) to avoid long ticket lines. Turn an art museum into a treasure hunt by starting off at the gift shop, where children can choose postcards of their favorite works and then search for them. • Public buses can't be beat as inexpensive sightseeing vehicles. Grab a free RATP Grand Plan de Paris at any large Métro station. For a ride past many Paris landmarks, hop on bus No. 94, which follows a north-south route through the city, or take bus No. 69 along the east-west axis.
There's no better way to get oriented than to rise above the rooftops. It's easy in a city where most buildings conform to a six-story limitation (thank you, Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann).
EIFFEL TOWER On a clear day, the view from the Eiffel Tower (Ave. Gustave-Eiffel; 33-1/44-11-23-23) extends some 40 miles, taking in what seems to be all of the Île-de-France. The design of the 1889 steel tour de force allows you to absorb the cityscape in stages, from intimate near the bottom to panoramic at the top. Allot plenty of time for the lines and perhaps a meal (but book ahead). Though the 7,000-ton tower has a Michelin-starred restaurant named for native son Jules Verne (33-1/45-55-61-44; lunch for four $250), families may feel more relaxed at the less formal Altitude 95 (33-1/45-55-20-04; lunch for four $65). Looking for something exhilarating to do at night?The tower stays open until 11 p.m. from September through June, and until midnight in July and August.
NOTRE DAME If the view alone isn't sufficient motivation for your kids to mount the 385 steps to the top of the north tower of Notre Dame (6 Place du Parvis-Notre-Dame; 33-1/42-34-56-10), mention the freakish gargoyles. Back on terra firma, light a candle for Joan of Arc (in a chapel south of the nave), compare an original 13th-century rose window (at the north end of the transept) to later restorations of its south and west counterparts, and be sure to introduce the cathedral's most salient architectural feature—the flying buttress, a term many kids find hilarious.
LA SAMARITAINE The best thing about La Samaritaine (19 Rue de la Monnaie; 33-1/40-41-20-20), other than the fanciful cast-iron framework that has made the department store an architectural landmark, is the view from its roof. Take the elevator to the ninth floor and walk up a flight to a terrace where, weather permitting, you can sip Orangina and nibble a croque-monsieur at a table sheltered by the giant letters that spell out the store's name. Take one more flight up to an intimate observation deck in the round. A tilework depiction of the vista, identifying churches, museums, and other monuments, rings the parapet.
INSTITUT DU MONDE ARABE The Institut (1 Rue des Fossés-St.-Bernard; 33-1/40-51-38-38) is best known for its south wall, a grid of light-sensitive steel shutters that is architect Jean Nouvel's inspired blend of Islamic pattern and construction wizardry. But the north side of the building is equally prizeworthy. A chunk of it is devoted to a broad terrace offering perhaps the Left Bank's best view of Notre Dame, the Île de la Cité, and the Île St.-Louis. Introduce your kids to Arab fare (roast chicken, couscous, and sweet mint tea) at the adjacent Ziryab Restaurant (33-1/53-10-10-16). On the floors below, a museum of art and artifacts will clue them in to other traditions of the Arab world—if you can tear them away from the glass-walled elevators.
THE CATACOMBS AND SEWERS There are plenty of kids who'd rather be really "deep" than rise above it all. Take them to the Catacombs (1 Place Denfert-Rochereau; 33-1/43-22-47-63) and the Sewers (Pont de l'Alma; 33-1/53-68-27-81). The sight of miles of stone quarries filled with 5 or 6 million skeletons adds a chill to the already cool temperature in the former; in the latter, what you see on the hour-long tour—tunnels that are a triumph of engineering—will likely be overpowered by what you smell.
Blood sausage?Pigs' trotters?Rabbit?Of course not. Still, the classics of French cuisine that kids will appreciate are many; when it comes to desserts and sweets, make that all.
STEAK-FRITES The best steak-frites in Paris are at Le Relais de l'Entrecôte (15 Rue Marbeuf; 33-1/49-52-07-17; dinner for four $80). You can't reserve, but the wait is short. Since there are no choices to make on the pre-set menu, the French—uncharacteristically—tend to eat and run. It's the secret sauce that makes the steak so delicious.
Who cares if the steak-frites at La Coupole (102 Blvd. du Montparnasse; 33-1/43-20-14-20; dinner for four $75) aren't absolutely perfect?They're an excuse to jump into the center ring of a lively circus masquerading as a brasserie. (If it's hamburger you're after, order steak haché. ) Have a birthday party here and watch a procession of waiters deliver a cake with an exploding center while launching into the most memorable "Joyeux Anniversaire."
CRÊPES They may be available on every corner (nearly) but not all crêpes are freshly made on every corner (hardly). If you see a merchant simply warming a thin pancake taken from a stack, move on. A real crêpe should be poured onto a hot griddle.
SANDWICHES Croque-monsieurs, the French version of a grilled ham-and-cheese sandwich, are as ubiquitous as crêpes. But beware—all are not created equal. A café's proximity to an exceptional bakery often ensures high-quality bread. Near Boulangerie Poilâne, for instance, try Le Cassette (73 Rue de Rennes), an everyday café. Le Sélect (99 Blvd. du Montparnasse), which also uses Poilâne bread, has, as the name suggests, a pedigree of historic habitués, and also higher prices.

Because Saint Joseph's Day is Father's Day in Italy, when growing up I spent the night before the feast at our grandparents' house to celebrate. The next day, March 19, I helped at the pastry shop. For that entire day everyone made zeppole di San Giuseppe, special cream-filled fritters. Even if it was a school day, I was excused by the nuns as a favor to Grandma and Saint Joseph.
This was the only time that Grandma left her kitchen to work at the pastry shop alongside her sister-in-law, Zia Agatha. Shaking her head, she sighed, "I can put up with her one day a year to help Papa on Father's Day." In reality, she looked forward to the zeppole bake-off with Zia and her cousin Concetta. Each had a special recipe for making the custard-like ricotta cream that filled the deep-fried fritters.
The original zeppole recipe, recorded in the 1830s by a Neapolitan duke, was similar to Gram's fried dough rounds, which she topped with tomato sauce or — as a treat — sprinkled with powdered sugar.
At Grandpa's shop the men whipped up fresh batches continually. Grandma liked her zeppole to resemble cream puffs. Zia and Concetta preferred the more traditional wider circle, which they filled with a mountain of custard cream topped with a maraschino cherry.
Gram put extra filling in her puffs and on the top were swirls of cream reaching for a dark Amarena cherry. Her secret ingredient was Limoncello, a liquor that her brother brought her from the old country. Zia used lemon zest with bits of candied fruit, whereas Concetta favored orange zest.
Gram was so protective of her Limoncello that she poured it into dark-brown cough syrup bottles that I guarded in my schoolbag. Once at the shop, I sat at an ice cream table in the front doing my homework, bringing Gram her prized liquor and talking with customers in the long lines as I passed around trays of cookies.
Although Gram made the cookie trays, she whispered, "The way people waited for St. Joseph to work a miracle to break the famine in Italy, they can wait to eat a perfectly fresh pasty that honors him."
By the end of the day, all three women called themselves the bake-off winner based on watching people's facial expressions as they tasted their miniature samples decorating the countertop.
"Not a one left," Gram smiled at Grandpa, "except for these." Then while packing two dozen zeppole to bring to the convent, she reminded me, "When someone does you a favor, as the nuns do for me and St. Joseph, always remember to show them your appreciation."
Rita Esposito Watson is an All About You relationship columnist. This story is adapted from her upcoming book, "Italian Kisses: Gram's Wisdom."

Pirates Fall To Phillies
Phillies 7, Pirates 4
A 3-run rally in the 7th inning was enough to push the Phillies over the Pirates at McKechnie Field this afternoon.
Starter Kevin Correia had a shaky top of the 1st inning. The first four batters he faced all singled, bringing in 2 runs. Then with runners on the corners, Correia buckled down, getting a foul pop out then two strikeouts to end the inning. The Pirates got one of the runs back in the bottom of the inning. With one out, SS Pedro Ciriaco doubled into left field, and 2B Neil Walker moved him to third base with a line drive single into right. 1B Lyle Overbay also lined into right field, to drive in Ciriaco, though Walker was out when he tried to get from first to third. DH Matt Diaz also singled, but he and Overbay were left on base at the end of the inning.
Correia worked around a single in the 2nd inning, then retired the side in order in the 3rd inning. The Pirates also went down in order in both the 2nd and 3rd. Diaz tied the score in the 4th, with a walk and a stolen base, then a single by 3B Andy Marte.
Brian Burres pitched the 4th and 5th innings, allowing only a double. Fernando Nieve took the mound next. The first batter he faced was Ryan Howard, who blasted a 2-1 pitch over the left field wall to give the Phillies a 3-2 lead. Nieve gave up a walk and a single after the homer, but left them on base. The bottom of the inning began with a walk by Walker. Pinch-hitter Tony Sanchez bounced a ground-rule double over the left field wall, moving Walker to third. RF Garrett Jones ground out to first, which let Walker score to tie it up again. Marte hit the next ground rule double, driving in Sanchez with the go-ahead run.
Nieve came back out for the top of the 7th, and that's when he got into even more trouble. Two singles (one to former Pirate Brandon Moss) and a double tied the score again, at 4-4. Nieve was relieved by Mike Dubee (whose dad is Phillies' pitching coach Rich Dubee). Dubee gave up a ground out to second, which allowed Moss to score from third base. A single brought in the third run of the inning, then Dubee got a strikeout to end the inning. Bryan Morris pitched the 8th inning, and gave up the final Phillies' run with a double, a ground out, and a sacrifice fly. Daniel Moskos pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the top of the 9th to wrap things up.
The Pirates threatened in the bottom of the 7th. Singles by CF Alex Presley and LF John Bowker and a walk by 2B Corey Wimberly loaded the bases with one out. All three were left standing there when both 1B Josh Fields and Tony Sanchez struck out.
C Wyatt Toregas also singled for the Pirates. SS Chase d'Arnaud, RF Andrew Lambo, and CF Gorkys Hernandez all got into the game as well.
Durham And Atkins Both Homer For Pirates
The Pirates played two split-squad spring training games this afternoon (Monday):
Orioles 6, Pirates 4
The Pirates were held to 5 hits at McKechnie field this afternoon, but one of the big ones was a 2-run homer over the left field wall in the bottom of the 9th by RF Miles Durham, who was up from minor league camp. 1B Lyle Overbay also singled for the Pirates, scoring the first Pirates' run of the game in the 5th. 3B Pedro Alvarez knocked in the remaining run for the Pirates, in the 6th inning. LF Jose Tabata led off the inning with a single, stole second base, then scored on Alvarez's single Alvarez also doubled for the Pirates.
LF John Bowker, SS Brian Friday, CF Mel Rojas, 3B Andy Marte, 1B Steve Pearce, 2B Chase d'Arnaud, 2B Jim Negrych, and C Wyatt Toregas all got into the game for the Pirates.
Paul Maholm took the loss for the Pirates. He gave up a run in the 1st inning on a double and a single, then another on a solo homer in the 2nd. Jeff Locke allowed a run on two hits in the 6th. He allowed a single and a walk, then with two outs, an RBI single brought in a run. Justin Wilson got the first out, then walked the next three batters to load the bases in the 8th. A double and a sacrifice fly drove in all three of the base runners. Jeff Karstens pitched 2 scoreless innings, then Tyler Yates, and Mike Crotta each pitched a scoreless frame. Cesar Valdez finished up the 8th for Karstens, then pitched a scoreless 9th, facing only 4 batters.
Curve Hold Their Own Against Pettitte, But Lose Game One
Trenton Thunder� 3,� Altoona Curve� 2 …���� (box)
Curve starter Rudy Owens faced off against National's phenom pitcher Stephen Strasbourg at the beginning of the season, and held his own.� Now he winds down the season by facing off against New York Yankees' rehabbing star Andy Pettitte — and again, Owens held his own.� Owens and Pettitte each pitched 5 innings in tonight's first game of the Eastern League Championship Series, held in Altoona.� Owens gave up 2 runs; Pettitte gave up 2 runs.� Owens gave up 7 hits and 3 walks; Pettitte gave up 6 hits and 2 walks, and he also threw a wild pitch.� Owens struck out 7; Pettitte struck out 4.
2B Chase d'Arnaud faced Pettitte three times and must not have been very impressed.� He put the first run of the game onto the scoreboard when he led off the bottom of the 1st inning with a solo home run off Pettitte.� In the 3rd inning, d'Arnaud worked a walk, and in the 5th, he singled off Pettitte.
The Curve took d'Arnaud's home run lead into the 3rd inning.� Rudy Owens gave up a walk and a single in the 2nd, but induced a double play to end the inning.� In the 3rd, he gave up three singles, including the RBI single that slipped past first base and down the right field line to tie the score at 1-1.
The Curve came right back in the bottom of the 3rd to take a 2-1 lead.� With one out, DH Yung Chi Chen lined a single into right field.� Pettitte's wild pitch put Chen on second base, and when d'Arnaud walked, ball four got past the Trenton catcher for a passed ball, allowing Chen to advance to third base.� 3B Josh Harrison grounded just out of reach of the Trenton shortstop and into left field for the single that scored Chen.
Owens retired the side in order again in the 4th.� Then he gave up two doubles in the top of the 5th, and Trenton had tied up the game again, at 2-2.
The Curve threatened in the bottom of the 5th.� Chen reached base on a fielding error by the Trenton third baseman.� Back-to-back singles by d'Arnaud and Harrison — a line drive into right field by d'Arnaud and a bunt single by Harrison — loaded the bases for Altoona.� But Pettitte got SS Jordy Mercer to bounce back to the mound, where he fired the ball back to the catcher, forcing out Chen at the plate, then on to first base to complete the double play.� A strikeout ended the inning.
Curve and Marauders Both Fall To Big Innings
Harrisburg Senators� 10,� Altoona Curve� 5 ….������ (box)
Two 5-run innings gave the Senators the advantage over the Curve in the first game of their Eastern League playoff series.
The Curve jumped out to the early lead in the bottom of the 1st.� 2B Chase d'Arnaud led off with a walk, and 3B Josh Harrison followed by blasting a home run over the left-center field wall, to give the Curve a 2-0 lead before they even had recorded an out.� Two outs later, LF Andrew Lambo reached base on a fielding error by the Senators' 2B Steve Lombardozzi.� C Hector Gimenez worked a walk, and RF Miles Durham singled into left field to bring in Lambo from second base, and the Curve had a 3-0 lead.
It didn't last long, as the Senators sent 10 batters to the plate and scored 5 runs in the top of the 2nd.� Curve starter Rudy Owens had worked around a walk to Lombardozzi in the 1st inning, but got into trouble quickly in the 2nd.� A walk and a single began the inning, then a grounder to the diving 1B Matt Hague produced a force out at second base.� A double into right-center field brought in both base runners, and the Senators had made it a one-run game, 3-2.� A bunt attempt by the Senators' pitcher, Tom Milone, went right to Owens on the mound, and he turned it into a fielder's choice out at third, leaving Milone on first base.� But Lombardozzi walked again, then a single loaded the bases.� Owens had two outs with those bases loaded, and he got an 0-2 on the next batter — and another single drove in two more runs, and the Senators had the lead.� That sent Owens to the showers after just 1.2 innings.� Jared Hughes came out of the bullpen, and he loaded the bases again by walking the first batter he faced.� A passed ball by Gimenez allowed the runner in from third base (unearned run, charged to Owens), and when a ground out ended the inning, the Senators had a 5-3 lead.
Milone had the Curve bats under control for the next 6 innings.� D'Arnaud doubled in the 2nd inning, but was left on base when three other Curve batters struck out.� Hughes reached base in the 4th on a fielding error, but was also left stranded. � Durham singled in the 6th, but was also left on base.� Harrisburg's reliever Hassan Pena pitched the 7th inning, and he also retired the Curve in order.
Hughes did even better than Milone over his next 3 innings — he retired those 9 Harrisburg batters in order.� Bryan Morris was next out of the bullpen.� He retired the side in order in the 6th, and worked his way out of a jam in the 7th.� That inning began with a single, then Lombardozzi reached on fielding error, when his grounder bounced off 3B Harrison's glove.� With two on and none out (instead of one on and one out), Morris got a strikeout.� Another single loaded the bases, then Morris ended the inning with a three-pitch strikeout and a blazing line drive that went straight to Harrison's glove.
Mike Dubee took the mound for the Curve to begin the 8th inning, and he found trouble quickly.� Back-to-back singles opened the inning, then Dubee got a strikeout.� An RBI single followed, then Lombardozzi drove a liner down the right field line and into the bullpen, plating the second run of the inning.� An intentional walk loaded the bases, and a grounder to third yielded a force out at third, but Harrison's throw to first rolled away from 1B Hague, and instead of an inning-ending double play, two more runs scored and the inning continued.� Another single dropped in, in short left field, to drive in the fifth run of the inning.� Craig Hansen relieved Dubee, and he got the pitcher Pena to fly out to end the inning.
Losses All Around
Losses for all of the Pirates' affiliates on Friday night:
Reading Phillies� 9,� Altoona Curve� 4 …������� (box)
The R-Phils attacked Curve starter Jared Hughes early, and the Curve bats could not keep up.� Hughes retired the side in order in the 1st inning, but gave up 3 unearned runs on a walk, a single, and two errors in the 2nd inning — the throwing error was by Hughes.� A walk, a double, and a single added 2 more runs in the 3rd inning.� In the 4th inning, Hughes gave up another 3 runs on two singles, a triple, and a double by former Indy Indian Tagg Bozied.� Hughes was done after those 4 innings, having allowed 8 runs (5 earned) on 7 hits and 2 walks, though he struck out 6 batters.
The Curve hitters were hitless in the first 4 innings.� The only batter to get on base was CF Anthony Norman, who reached in the 3rd on Bozied's fielding error at first.� Two home runs, one by C Kris Watts in the 5th, and one by 2B Chase d'Arnaud in the 6th, got the Indians onto the scoreboard, but they were still trailing 8-2.
Each team scored in the 7th.� Tom Boleska had relieved Hughes to begin the 5th inning, and he retired the first 7 batters he faced in order.� Then in the 7th, he walked Bozied, then gave up a single and a double, allowing Bozied to score.� In the bottom of the frame, 1B Matt Hague led off with a single, then scored on singles by Watts and Norman, to make it 9-3.� The Curve added one more run in the bottom of the 9th, when SS Jordy Mercer, Hague, and RF Miles Durham led off the inning with three consecutive singles to load the bases.� Watts' sacrifice fly plated Mercer, but two ground outs ended the inning without any further scoring.� Bryan Morris pitched two perfect innings to wrap it up for the Curve.
The Curve have won the Eastern League's Western Division title, and will begin the first round of playoffs on Wednesday.� None of the other playoff slots have been settled yet.� The Bowie Baysox and the Harrisburg Senators are tied for second place in the Western Division.� The Trenton Thunder are in first place in the Eastern Division, with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 2.5 games behind, with 3 games left to play.

Fresh design for referee's board at 2014 FIFA World Cup™
CloseHublot is proud to unveil an updated design for the referee board for the 2014 FIFA World Cup ™ . The board, which is used by the fourth official to show the additional time periods and signal player substitutions, has been redesigned to align with Hublot's distinctive watch design.
The new optimised design, keeps the former technical specifications, while boasting a more ergonomic grip and polished aesthetics to make it not only practical but also attractive. The board maintains a weight that was strictly controlled throughout its technical development to avoid unnecessary sustained effort.
Originally a utilitarian object with a practical design, the board has now become an iconic object a symbol of time measurement thanks to the new design, resembles a watch... a Hublot watch - the Official Timekeeper of the FIFA World Cup ™ .
Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO, said : " It is an immense honour and privilege for Hublot to have been given the opportunity to optimise the referee's board for the 2014 ™ FIFA World Cup. The joint effort comes as part of a long-term relationship which Hublot has developed with FIFA. It has given rise to an object with an innovative design. "
The new referee's board will forever be associated with this 2014 edition. The first usage of the board was during the first match of the competition on 12 June 2014 in Sao Paulo: Brazil vs. Croatia, in front of thousands of spectators in the stadium, and millions of fans in front of their television screens.
Hublot is the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the FIFA ™ World Cup, and will be displayed on the referee's board during every match of the competition.

I'm trying to ID the wood used in the trim for my early 1900s house. Here's a piece I'm trying to work with...
(It's on our workbench, so it runs a bit into that on the right side of the picture.) Any insights would be appreciated - trying to figure how to deal with it and what might match with it would be easier if I knew what it was! Thanks! |

Red oak. |
Looks like oak. For what it's worth, the pores (picture a bundle of drinking straws) of red oak are open (ie, let air through), and white oak are closed. If you want any easy test, suck on the end of the board... you'll get air through red oak. |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Tue, Feb 24, 09 at 11:15
I would say ash (stained) or chestnut. If you show a pic of fresh cut end grain in close-up, we will know for sure. You can sometimes only distinguish oak from ash through what the end grain reveals. Ash does not have the "ray" structure of oak, which can be positively seen in end grain. Ash will be white when freshly cut. Chestnut will be the color that it is in your photo. So, to sum up, if it has rays, it's oak; if it lacks rays, it's either ash or chestnut. If it's white, it's ash. Casey |
So, I don't know if these pics will help - but here's trying: Pic1: Pic2: It definitely doesn't look white to me-tan or very light brown sure, but not white. Thoughts? Thanks so much! |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Tue, Feb 24, 09 at 15:17
No rays there, as I thought. Too dark for ash, which leaves... Chestnut. Casey |
Thanks. Is chestnut lighter in weight than oak? I was surprised when I picked the piece up how light it felt - I would have thought it was heavier. Are there any stripping methods we should be avoiding while cleaning up all of this woodwork? I just don't want to damage the wood. |
Looks like oak to me!! But chesnut looks a lot like oak....it rather depends on where in the country you live. The chesnut blight took a lot of trees during that era and in some places chesnut was a major building wood....other areas not so much so. Linda C |
Yes, chestnut would be at least 30% lighter than oak. FWIW, all wood has rays, it's just a question of whether they're big enough to be obvious. |
I'm in the NYC area - would chestnut be likely around here? From what I've read it sounds like this area was the origin of the blight, but I haven't read a lot on how prevalent the wood was around here. Linda C - does the end grain look like oak to you? Will oak and chestnut both strip and stain about the same way? I'd love to know for sure what it is, but I guess if I need to handle it the same way then it really only matters for my own curiosity/knowledge. Thanks! |
The only difference you'll see with stripping methods relates to the density of the wood. If it's lighter then it's softer, and will be easier to gouge or abrade with whatever tools you use. Just handle it carefully - look closely at the results of your first attempts, and you'll quickly get a feel for what you can and can't get away with. It's hard to tell for sure, since neither your saw blade nor the picture is very sharp, but that doesn't look like oak to me. |

Chestnut grew in every temperate forest type area in the US until 1938 when they were wiped out by the blight. They were among the most valuable of trees, for beauty, timber and food. Casey |
Well, I guess unless I find out (for sure from someone local to me) differently I will assume the trim is chestnut and treat it accordingly. I'm testing out some different ways of stripping it down and am hopeful that we'll be able to get good results. Thanks so much for all your help! |
My in-laws in northern New Jersey have an older house and it has beautiful wide chestnut trim. |
Hopefully this one will clean up nicely as well! One more question - for the rooms that don't have the chestnut trim (there was an addition done in the 50s, plus the area we are adding on now) - I am assuming oak would be the closest match? Red oak or white, or does it not really matter if it's being stained? I'll check into pricing reclaimed chestnut, but what I've seen would probably blow the budget clear out of the water. |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Fri, Feb 27, 09 at 14:27
Ash, stained, could be a better match than oak. IMO. Casey |
Absolutely, ash would be the better choice. Cheap, too. |
- Posted by glennsfc (email@example.com) on Sat, Feb 28, 09 at 19:03
Definitely Chestnut. Most older hjomes on Staten Island had beautiful Chestnut trim. I occasionally see it in my work travels. I've faked Chestnut with white oak to replicate missing trim when I couldn't find a quantity of Chestnut (tip: you have to be real careful to select boards of the right graining and color). You can still get Chestnut. Try Ebay...also there is a Chestnut supplier in Jersey somewhere. |
Thanks everyone - sounds like it's time to start just playing around with boards and stains - I appreciate the help! |
If anyone is still following this... silly newbie question for you. A friend in the same neighborhood with a similarly aged house was told (by whom, I'm not sure) that her trim (which when stained looks similar to mine) was douglas fir. How can I tell the difference between douglas fir and chestnut? I looked online at different examples, but to someone who doesn't really have a clue (that would be me), a lot of the examples look similar and don't have a lot of explanation. Help is appreciated! |
- Posted by sombreuil_mongrel (My Page) on Sat, Mar 7, 09 at 16:28
See how the grain areas of your chestnut have little pores in them? Well, softwoods, fir included, do not have these pores. Casey |
Identifying wood can be tricky, so don't feel bad. We can usually make decent guesses, because only a handful of the hundreds of species of domestic trees are commonly used for lumber, but some woods can be almost impossible to ID without a microscope. In any case, low-res online pictures are not very useful for such comparisons. If you put doug. fir next to chestnut, the difference would be immediately obvious. What we know for sure is that you've got a ring-porous hardwood, with fairly large pores and no visible rays. That really cuts down the possibilities. Might also be worth mentioning that the trim piece you photographed is flatsawn, which means that the surface of the board is tangential to the annual rings of the tree. A quartersawn (face of the board perpendicular to the rings) slice of the very same tree would look dramatically different. Also, the environment where the trees grow has an impact; if the tree grows slowly in a mature forest then the annual rings are thinner and the graphic pattens on the boards can be busier. If the tree grows quickly in a young, recently logged area then annual rings are fatter and the patterns on the board are simplified. Species isn't everything, so don't beat yourself up trying to find a perfect match. |
Thank you both very much - great info, and I'm feeling a little less clueless!! (We'll see how long that lasts...) :) |
Loads of good comments on this post. Some references here to houses in northern NJ. That lumber could be oak, and I have little experience with chestnut, but it could be that, chestnut. Years ago, I lived in NE NJ. The town of Ridgewood has a collection of "Peterson-built" houses, located in a few of the most desirable locations. When I was a teen, a friend of mine lived in a "Peterson" house. All the trim was said to be chestnut. All 1920's stuff, and all very upscale. Your sample pic looks like the trim in his house. |

Found this for you at DIY: "The best site I've found for quickly identifying wood types is unexpectedly found at www.antiqueclockspriceguide.com. They have two different pages for picking out your wood type based on description and appearance. They have common wood types and exotic wood types. They don't have every kind of wood (that would probably be next to impossible to categorize), but they have everything you'll ever need to identify the wood types of older pieces of furniture." |

About: Herve joins Christina at her villa in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. On his arrival, she blindfolds him and has him inhale the contents of a mysterious bottle. Herve remembers meeting her in a disco. In the villa, she turns out to be a nympho dressed in red and who plays with giant plush animals in a sexual way - or so he thinks when he wakes up, but it is not her and she shows him the door. On a later visit, he she doesn't answer his knock at her door; so he waits outside and sees Christina going into a black car which takes her to a remote farm. Mad with jealousy, he blows up the old car where she is hidden. Her bloody face appears amidst the flames... Suddenly the alarm clock wakes him from his nightmare. It's a call from Christina who asks him to take her out to a restaurant. When they get there, Herve meets all the characters he had met in his dream and the scene turns into an orgy. Sick of it all, Herve drives home and nearly falls into a gully. He then tells a doctor about his fear of becoming mad. Christina seems to have been a fantasy but suddenly, in a local market, he comes across her and they fall into each other's arms.

"Humanities on the Edge" invites you to a lecture by Michael Hardt (Professor of Italian Studies and Literature, Duke)
Building on his work of the past decade with political philosopher Antonio Negri, Hardt's talk, "What to Do in a Crisis: A Biopolitical New Deal," will respond to their call, issued in Commonwealth, the third part of their trilogy (Empire and Multitude are the first two volumes), for the need to reinvent the vocabulary of democracy as tools for intervening in the present. From a democratic-left perspective, one of the central concepts is that of the "New Deal." Hardt's talk will argue for the need of a new "New Deal"; however, for a "New Deal" to be effective today, it is in need to be re-imagined so that it will be responsive to the new form of power (biopower) characteristic of informational/finance capitalism. In his talk, Hardt wants to delineate the path along which such a new "New Deal" needs to be articulated. In addition to his collaborative work with Negri and numerous articles, Professor Hardt has authored Gilles Deleuze: An Apprenticeship in Philosophy (1993), co-edited Radical Thought in Italy: A Potential Politics and The Jameson Reader, as well as translated books by Giorgio Agamben and Negri.
Friday, March 30, 4:00 pm, Zen's Lounge: Crystal Gibbins and Danielle Metcalf will read from their work as part of the no name reading series.

April 12, 2012, 5:30-7:00pm (NOTE: back to regular time!) at the Sheldon Auditorium
"Humanities on the Edge" invites you to a lecture by Cesare Casarino (Professor of Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, U Minneapolis)
Starting from a retrospective and self-critical assessment of the collaborative reflections and undertakings of In Praise of the Common (a book he co-authored with Antonio Negri), Casarino's talk, "Universalism of the Common," attempts to produce a concept of the "common," to evaluate the reasons for its present relevance and currency, as well as to posit its inescapable centrality for any critical understanding of related concepts such as "capitalism," "biopolitics," and "communism" today. In addition to In Praise of the Common, Professor Casarino has authored numerous articles and the book, Modernity At Sea: Melville, Marx, Conrad In Crisis (2002), as well as edited Marxism Beyond Marxism (1996) and translated a number of important essays by Giorgio Agamben

Site of the week: Mindworks
Scroll-triggered CSS effects provide a trendy parallax feel to this portfolio for Greece's fastest-growing digital agency
URL: www.mindworks.gr | DESIGNER: Mindworks
Based around a predominantly dark template, the site consists of a single page broken up by angular lines and contrasting pink and grey shapes jutting through the background. As you scroll vertically, a succession of diamond-shaped elements smoothly glide together to form various content hotspots.
Nuggets of text offer a subtle hint at key projects alongside static shots, before a centralised 'GO' button reveals more. Click this and the transformations continue to spawn a video window, seamlessly weaving motion showreels into the page. In fact, video-based showreels very much take centre stage throughout the site, dubbed 'Playreels' within the head of the page, and using embedded Vimeo players to share the impressive sequences.
Alongside all this we get the expected links to the major social network accounts for Mindworks, as well as Behance, which is a clever way of extending the portfolio out beyond the site. There's a real sense that the team want to communicate its achievements to the international community, so recognition for a URL like this should certainly help!
