In a lifetime of reading, studying, and teaching history, I find myself returning again and again to certain periods of the human story which seem to me particularly intriguing or immediately instructive. For years - and especially when I was teaching AP European History at Midlothian - I discovered a particular fascination in the terrible drama of the French Revolution.
In 1789, the year in which America's Revolution reached a peaceful conclusion in the inauguration of George Washington, France - the great, sophisticated power which was the cultural and intellectual leader of the European world - suddenly began transforming itself into an abattoir. The wealthy and powerful - those who were not shrewd enough to flee to Austria, Britain or other havens - made the brief, but unforgettable acquaintance of Madame la Guillotine.
Within a few years, many of the revolutionaries followed their aristocratic victims. Still, the Revolution rolled on until, exhausted, the people of France entrusted their safety to the dictatorship of Napoleon Bonaparte. All in all, the French Revolution began a twenty-six year drama which forever changed European - and world - civilization. In many ways, la Revolution continues to play itself out today, in - among other places - the streets of Cairo and Damascus.
What disturbs me is the possibility that another reappearance might also be foreshadowed in the muddy parks and campuses of our own country. But, thus far, I have read and heard almost nothing in our media which connects the modern Occupation movement with popular revolts in the Islamic World, much less with the storming of the Bastille.
Nor is this surprising, for Americans, as a people, know almost nothing about history's uses as a serious, practical pursuit.
Most Americans who love history choose to view it through a sentimental lens. We visit Colonial Williamsburg or Staunton's Frontier Culture Museum to watch costumed performers present old-time crafts. We drag our children and grandchildren to sites such as Gettysburg, Monticello, or Fort Clatsop - where a smattering of historical information is offered up in impossibly pristine surroundings.
Other Americans are history hobbyists of a more intense sort. Those who choose to get more deeply involved use modern technology to dig for relics - or put on the uniforms of the Revolutionary or Civil wars and march off to the gritty realism of mass re-enactments
Millions of Americans relive the past as controversialists. Devotees of the Civil War, possessed of almost encyclopedic knowledge of its battles, debate the tactical mistakes and heroic moments of encounters famous and obscure. Millions more, often the descendants of Confederate heroes, can go on for hours "proving" that the Civil War was not about slavery.
Others are passionate about the details of the Second World War - including, inevitably, those unhappy souls who find eternal fascination in the darker minutiae of the Third Reich.
But, as a people, Americans find little interest in how history works. We see history as something that happened in the past - not as a practical study of the human condition with relevance for today. And, having this perspective, we seldom see patterns in the past which might help us to understand the events of the present.
Thus, when I raise the possibility that today's events might foreshadow something like a modern version of the French Revolution, I don't expect many readers to follow me. Even historically-minded Americans tend to know little about the history of France, and the Revolution is a deep subject, indeed.
But I keep coming back to something which gradually became clear to me in the years when I regularly taught the basics of the French Revolution.
The Revolution did not begin - as many non-historians believe - with an uprising of impoverished peasants crushed by hunger and wearied by the ruthlessness of pompous aristocrats. The Revolution began among the urban middle-classes. It began because, put simply, France could not balance its budget - or even make interest payments on its national debt.
France was a rich country - far richer than Britain or the Netherlands. Yet the British and Dutch could service their national debts, and France could not, for one simple reason: In France, the rich paid almost no taxes.
Thus, when its mounting debts could no longer be avoided, and King Louis XVI sought a way out, the rich and powerful refused to pay their share - or any part of their share - unless the King agreed to turn over all political power to a government controlled by the aristocracy.
And when France's middle-class, already oppressed by the burdens of taxation, refused to go along with this change, the ball began rolling downhill.
Which is not, of course, to suggest that something as terrible as the Revolution could happen here. But perhaps it is time to study more closely the history of the era which Charles Dickens called "the best of times... the worst of times."

For Parents & Families
The University experience presents a milestone for young adults and their families. The challenges and opportunities that face college students help to prepare them for the independence and responsibility associated with adulthood. In its interactions with students, the staff seeks to assist in the developing adult to examine decision-making skills, to identify the various consequences of behavior, and to hold themselves accountable for their actions. The staff encourages parents and families to partner with them to contribute to the education and success of their student.
Students are encouraged to discuss their student conduct cases with their families. This is particularly important because federal law prohibits the University from sharing information with any third party, including parents, without the written consent from the student.

Tips for Parents and Families
Remind your student about the values you have taught them, how they relate to problematic behaviors, and your expectations for future behavior.

Imagine gourmet food from the chef served in the luxury of a yacht that a family or even group of up to 20 people can call their own for a week, sailing into the most memorable ports and gracefully gliding along the Croatian oceans.
Now new Croatia vacation packages have been announced by the highly respected Croatia yacht company Master Charter. For example, all prices are greatly discounted in special vacation packages, kids 2 to 10 are 50% discounted and the normal prices are reduced for special vacation promotions for April and May, 2012. Some promotions will still be available after May and more information can be obtained by contacting the company through its website www.mastercharter.com.
According to the captain of one of the lovely yachts named "Romanca" (means "romance"), the yachts have their own chef and very caring staff – also known as "deck hands" - who are more akin to fantastic hospitality staff that one would find at a five star luxury resort, since they really do care about one's happiness and experience and show it in their service to the yacht guests.
The captain and crew of each yacht comes from many years of experience with the most intricate issues of sailing, to provide a safe, memorable and lovely experience for the yacht guests.
When thinking of a yacht in Croatia, think "personal luxury water-based vacation". Some of the activities that a yacht allows – in addition to great food and just "hanging out" - are water skiing and wind surfing. The yachts also come with canoes, snorkeling equipment, fishing equipment, and even the right equipment for big game sport fishing.
Wifi is on the yacht at all times so a person can have internet access when they want it and keep in contact with the rest of life, or the vacation guests are welcome to forget the rest of life and just enjoy the relaxing scenery and peace of the water, sailing from port to interesting port with the goal of seeing tourist attractions or just enjoying the view.
There is a large screen DVD if the kids want to watch a movie, or the adults for that matter, and of course a sun deck for tanning, complete with the most comfortable sun chairs, mattresses, and outdoor sun cushions the way it is meant to be in the best of life.
Most of the yachts even have their own saloon area, dining areas, and plenty of beautiful deck area to sit and enjoy the view.
The prices are all greatly discounted in the special vacation promotions so anyone interested in this special and beautiful vacation opportunity is encouraged to visit the website immediately at http://www.mastercharter.com.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Buddy!
Facts about Buddy
- Breed: Shar Pei
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Buddy's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Buddy is a lovable puppy. He got his cherry eye surgeries and he looks great!
Other Pets at Chinese Shar Pei Network, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buddy, a Mira Loma Shar Pei puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shar Pei for sale in Mira Loma, or seeking a Shar Pei puppy from a breeder in Mira Loma.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mira Loma already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mira Loma breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shar Pei breeders who help with Shar Pei rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mira Loma paves the way for another one to be saved.

Ruth's Chris Steak House Restaurant Review: Ruth's Chris does one main thing and does it right. The restaurant serves beef from corn-fed cows (free-range doesn't provide the proper marbling), which is dry-aged for three weeks, and then seared quickly under 1,800 degree broilers to hold in juices and impart a caramelized crust. The tender meat is then topped with a sizzling pat of butter and served on 500 degree plates. Dining at Ruth's Chris can be a pricey proposition as the menu is totally à la carte. The portions are immense, however, so a twosome can easily share the creamed spinach, baked potatoes, lobster bisque, and other accompaniments. Non-beef eaters will want to try the generous lobster roll --- a rare treat in the Pacific Northwest. Desserts are traditional steakhouse classics: bread pudding, cheesecake, and banana cream pie. A lengthy wine list offers regional and California selections. |

Normally, I'm a form follows function kind of guy, however I'm considering this Viking dishwasher VDB451, based solely on looks, specifically the handle, which is almost a perfect match to my Bluestar range. Also, this dishwasher is available in black, same as my range. Anyone own, or have experience with this model, or another Viking DW? Would love to know if it cleans well, specs say "a quiet 46db" for sound, I assume that's pretty good? Any experience or advice good or bad is welcome, Thanks! |

I don't have this model. I got the one with 100 in the model # free with my induction range last November. It replaced a 10 yr old Bosch that I loved. The Bosch was far superior. It was exceptionally quiet, the racks were sturdy and very adjustable, and it held lots of stuff. The Viking came with a broken panel and the repair part took months to get (and then only after my rep called and complained). The racks do adjust, but many tines are already bent. It is quite loud (compared to the Bosch) and doesn't hold as many dishes as the Bosch. It cleans well, but again I think the Bosch cleaned better. I hate the silverware container as my flatware handles don't fit in all of the tiny squares. I use one side with the square insert and one without. If the Bosch was stainless I would have put it back in and given the Viking away. As it is, I will keep this until the warranty runs out but will save for a good Bosch. |
By the specs, the Viking made DFB450 (rather than rebadged Asko--I don't know which OrchidSlayer had) DW that came out just when I was buying my appliances seemed perfect. I loved the racks and the features. It said it had a dryer. It was a little warm (not hot) air puffer and the dishes came out sopping wet. Like wetter than they do when handwashed. And that was on full loads with lots of mass, which is what's required to dry on the machines/cycles with no dryer. According to the service guy, it was working normally. Viking took it back. I was sad. I liked that DW better than the one that replaced it, but I need it to dry as well as wash, because that's the harder chore! Viking might have fixed the drying issue since then. You could ask. But they've been going through some corporate issues recently and have a very bad reputation for customer service. So it's basically a gamble. If you go for it, get it from a reputable local store that seems to be doing well (i.e., should be there in a few years if you need repairs). And worse comes to worst, DW's generally fit into standard sized openings so are pretty easy to swap out. Just make sure to lay the floor underneath, rather than trapping it with flooring... |
Thank you both for responding! I have talked to my appliance guy, and since my interest that Viking was mainly the handle, he has suggested a Thermador, (which he says is a Bosch) The handle is not quite an exact match to the Bluestar, but it seems to be the next best option out there. It only comes in stainless, and while I was thinking I wanted black, I guess could live with the stainless which is what we have now, and we're used to it. So, my new question is...does anyone know about this Thermador model DWHDT640JFP and can anyone confirm that a Thermador DW is made by Bosch? Thanks again in advance! |

Everyone has different tolerance when it comes to appliances but I must say when there are clearly 3 to 4 dishwashers that are generally ones people like best: Miele, Bosch, Kitchen Aid & Fisher & Paykel, it seems counter intuitive to settle on an outlier brand. If handles are dictating this choice then I feel that's not the best criterion for choosing a dishwasher, especially among brands not known for the greatest service. Why not just buy a Bosch? |
Yes, I would buy a Bosch, or a KA, which served us well for 25+ years (in Hobart form) ...but if the Thermador is a Bosch with a handle I prefer, isn't that a reasonable option? ...and I wouldn't consider Thermador an "outlier brand" ...we had a Thermador cooktop, wall oven, microwave, and warming drawer that were still working perfectly after 27 years. I'm just trying to confirm if anyone knows if they are one in the same? ... thank you for responding! |

This will probably be a bit difficult to read, but here is what ConsumerReports.org says from their top rated down. I just did a copy and paste. The 2 digit number on the left is their rating out of a possible 100. The 2-3 digit number after the rating is the cycle time in minutes. The only Viking in their list rated a 44, and is Viking Designer Series DFB450E. Similar to tested model: Viking Professional VDB450E[SS] $1650 CU Recommended Kenmore Elite 12793 see here $1350 |
Mythreedogs, Next time, it would be better to link to the page. Consumer Reports is baised toward the adequate, i.e., does an okay job for the best price. CTYCDM, Since you're open to other brands, why not get the one you like best but panel ready and have a black front with the kind of handle you'd prefer on it? I have a custom panel to match my cabinetry, which luckily wasn't too hard to change over to the new DW. |
Linking would be tough since not everyone has a CR description. Of course, it is not difficult to figure out how to get free access to the website (I check it all the time without a subscription). That said I agree with the prevalent opinion here that CR is useless. The fact that they rating Bosch's cheapo "Ascenta" series higher than their higher end models proves plllog's point. Plus they have a tendency to give the same machines with different brand stickers on them completely different ratings, as often happens with Kenmore and Whirlpool (for some reason, Kenmore usually seems to win). |
plllog, I would have done that, but I would have to have remained logged into the site, as one has to pay for the 'subscription' to it. |
Thanks for that input, my3dogs. As mentioned, unless you are a CR subscriber, or an "Internet Geek", chances are you could not have read that info. My CR subscription expired, but I was interested in "Their Take" on a certain appliance, (Can't recall what it was now), but it was "Just easier" for me to renew my CR subscription than to get "Geekey"!!!! Having said that, along with the thanks for posting it, "To me", (and having gone thru all the "shots" at CR), I post the actual reviews of appliances by CR readers, which most folks here seem to "Swallow" better than "CR's take" on some appliance. Folks don't like it here when they spend a lotta money on an appliance and CR does not "Bless it" due to the fact that an appliance that costs less money, "Might do", ~~~just as good a job as the more expensive one or even better, (In some cases). Myself, I had no budget when we redid our kitchen, but if something cost more, I wanted to know why and it actually had to be better, (at least to me, in REAL, not "Marketing slogan Terms"). Such was the case with the Miele dishwasher. At the time, it was the only DW with the 3rd rack for silverware, and it was a "Must Have"! Fast Forward 8 years, We still love our trouble free Miele, DW, (but to tell the truth, it does see little use)~~~~couple times a month, ~~at Most. I do agree that "A better way" would be to "panel it" and get the handle that you want. That is what we did with our built in Jenn-air Fridge~~~~~we wanted its handles to match the Electrolux, Oven, Speed Oven and Wine Cooler fridge~~~~~~sooooo~~~~~we called Electrolux and bought their fridge handles~~~that "match perfectly" and they were not that expensive, (as I recall).

Gary, If CR really did what you say, and just poke the pretensions of something that costs more because it's prettier or something, without added function, or if a lower price model actually works better, I would have no trouble with it. If you read what they say about their own principles, however, they'll say the same thing I did, only perhaps in sweeter terms. The number one criterion they have is money. The lowest price for baseline functionality, and lowest repair/maintenance cost (which usually means the lowest need for same). It's useful! But it doesn't tell the whole story. Most people I've met who are making major purchases are looking for more than just lowest price. They also want the item that fulfills their desires. They go to CR looking to make sure the item they're looking at isn't a lemon, and end up disappointed because either it wasn't included at all, or it gets a low ranking just because it cost a little more for the features that the consumer in question found most appealing but CR determined to be unnecessary for their baseline. I think it's as important to educate people in the limits of CR as it is to teach them about the limited utility of some of those extra features. Meantime, apologies, My3dogs, I didn't realize that it wasn't public. I haven't had to tech weenie my way in, but I seem to be able to view CR. CTYDDM, another thing to keep in mind if you haven't used a newer dishwasher is that they run very differently. They're designed to save water and energy, so they take a couple of hours to run. If you do want a heated dry, it's an optional cycle on an American machine. It's not available on European machines. The standard drying method requires the mass of a steel interior and the mass of your pans and crockery (they promote putting the pots in the DW not just to show off their power, but because you need the mass), to retain the heat from the wash/rinse. That heat, combined with the cooling air, creates convection (air movement) and evaporation. There may also be a fan to help move the evaporating moisture out of the machine. Rinse aid (Jet Dry) is required to make this work well. The "sheeting action" is a surfactant (aka soap) which is designed to coat the dishes and break the surface tension of the rinse water, making it fall off instead of clinging. This method actually does work well, especially if you have a lot of big dishes, metal flatware and pots. If you have mostly small dishes, thin glasses, and plastics, it doesn't work nearly as well. The detergents are different, too, and what worked, even of the new detergents, in your old DW, might not be as good in the new. The most popular and best rated seems to be Finish Quantum with Powerball tabs. I don't have such dirty dishes, and prefer Method Smarty Dish tabs, which have less oomph, but are probably better for the environment, and adequate for my loads. |

Thermador is not an outlier brand for a range, ovens etc., of course. And it's great that the experience with it has been good. But it's not a brand that immediately comes to mind for a dishwasher. But it's not my purchase. |
OK, thanks for the update on CR, Pillog. I do agree it is only "one source of Info", that may or not be useful in making appliance buying decisions. I put more "Stock" in how CR readers review the products, than "Official Takes" of a product by CR. Several times, I've seen CR "Officially Rate" an appliance very high, and then you look at the CR reader reviews and in some cases, it is a complete opposite of how CR rated it, (particularly reliability). I use CR to look for "Trends", problems with certain appliances, but it is only one source, I read here (GW), Epinions, Fixya, Chowhound, etc and so far, all have helped me make good decisions buying reliable appliances. The one appliance that I did not research, (It was "purely" a form over function decision), really "Bit Me in the part that went over the fence last"!!!!! That POJ landed in the dump in less than 2 years! Gary |
Gary, that sounds like a thorough and wise research method. Lots of sources, opinions from people who actually live with the things, etc. Regarding the opposite of the CR rating, CR usually only rates things that are mass produced. I fell bad for the people who think that least problems under testing circumstances means they won't have any problems, but if there are fifty complaints about a model that moves 40,000 units in a year, it's still a drop in the bucket. More telling is the ease with which they can get resolution. It's too bad they don't teach consumerism in the schools. We were taught how to understand advertising, junk research/statistics, quality standards, etc., but it was considered "experimental" and "hippie". It seems to me it should be part of home ec., or even environmental science (though that would be more on the waste side of things), but that's out of favor too. We were given some junky things to do in Home Ec., but I also learned a lot of useful stuff. |
OP here with follow up.... My appliance guy informed me there is one KA model that is available with a Pro Handle. (the KA's "Architect" handle is just so wrong for our kitchen) This Pro handle option did not show up on my search of KA's website, so kudos to my local brick and mortar store! Looks like we'll be getting the KDTE404DSP, doesn't come in black, but will settle for stainless with a handle that at least somewhat resembles my Bluestar. So now I get function and some of the form I wanted :) Thanks to all for responding, your posts were helpful in guiding my decision! |
I WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER VIKING DISHWASHER! We have an 18-month old Viking Professional Dishwasher - expensive, high-end, etc. - and we have had nothing but problems. We have had maybe 8 service calls in that time. After the last service, our kitchen floor was flooded. We haven't had a working dishwasher for a month. We don't have any faith in Viking, they don't stand behind their product. It is obviously a lemon, yet Viking REFUSES to give us a new dishwasher, instead, they keep telling the service company to order more and more parts and to keep trying to repair it - 4 guys have been here and it still doesn't work. Viking customer service won't let you speak to supervisors, they just give customers the run around. We should have bought a Bosch. |
I came here to steer you away from the Viking VDB451. You're right that the drawers are solid and the machine is very attractive. Unfortunately, it does not work well. (Mine, about six months old now, doesn't work at all anymore.) When it did work, it did a decent job of cleaning (better than Viking's earlier model which leaked constantly due to a faulty design). However, the cycle took over 3 hours to run, which was a problem for me as we frequently do two loads a day -- an afternoon and an evening load -- and it often wasn't ready after dinner to re-load. In comparison, we installed Bosch dishwashers into our two prior homes and they were always problem-free (they stayed with the homes when we sold). I have also been told Bosch makes Thermador, in which case i'd recommend the product. (A decent sales guy should be able to confirm that for you.) The Bosch is also a tad quieter than the Viking. Actually, my current Viking is completely silent, but that's because it's not working. :-( As a last thought, you might look at the Asko. It has similarly sturdy-seeming drawers as the Viking, and can also be installed with a large round bar that should match your kitchen. We decided to replace the Viking with the Asko, but if it ends up being a lemon, we will probably go back to Bosch. |

A soul reunion of the South Park Line will result in two Billings shows next week — Wednesday at the Garage Pub and Thursday outside Walkers Grill for Alive After 5.
Every musician has a band they never forget and for many, it's the South Park Line, said drummer and Walkers owner Bill Honaker.
Named after a defunct railroad, the original six-piece funk/rock/jazz horn band performed at just about every high school, college, bar and concert venue in Montana and surrounding states from the late 1970s well into the 1980s.
"In those days, live music was alive and plentiful, as were the venues to hear it," Honaker said.
Now, 30-plus years later, the band is coming together from all over the country for the Billings shows.
The Garage Pub show runs from 5 to 8 p.m. and the Thursday show runs from 5 to 8 p.m. as part of the Alive After 5 series. Both shows are all-ages.
Admission to the show at the Garage Pub is $7 and the Alive After 5 show is free.
Several local musicians will be joining the band, making it a 15-piece band, playing soul, funk and R&B. Between the different members of the band, they have shared stages with the Tower of Power Rhythm Section, the Temptations, Huey Lewis, Ike Turner, the Four Tops, Michael Bland (of Prince), Natalie Cole, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Mose Allison and Bobby McFerrin.
They all perform professionally and are involved in writing, recording and education projects, some of which include the Tokyo Theme Park, David Lansberg Movie Studios, McNally-Smith College of Music, and Musician's Institute in Los Angeles.
The South Park Line Band includes: Kimberly Michaelson, Lanie White, Lauren Williams and Tana Mayo on vocals; Rich Mayo on vocals and guitar; Joe Elliott on guitar; Will Honaker on bass; Kathy Honaker on keyboards; Bill Honaker on drums; Dean Cromwell on percussion; Kent Erickson on trumpet; Alan Fauque on alto sax; Sam White on tenor sax; Ryan Matzinger on baritone sax; and Jerom Hein on trumpet.

My garbage disposal stinks! It is a musty smell, not a food smell. I do not use it, very rarely does any food go into it. It makes my whole house smell. What can I do to get rid of it? I've tried hot soapy water, lemons, baking soda, vinegar. Any ideas? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've had good luck with Citrasolv. |
My plumber advised grinding a tray of ice cubes about once a month, said that the ice chips worked like thousands of tiny knives scraping the inside of the disposal. YMMV, but it works great for me. Good luck with whatever methods you try. |
- Posted by buffettgirl (My Page) on Mon, Oct 15, 12 at 19:38
Not to assume anything but have you made sure you don't have something stuck in there that never was ground up the last time you used it? |
- Posted by may_flowers (My Page) on Mon, Oct 15, 12 at 19:39
Have you checked under your rubber splash guard to see what lurks? |
And when you run it, even rarely, make sure you flush with plenty of water and leave the water running for a minute after you're done. |
- Posted by westsider40 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 15, 12 at 20:15
I recently took out the rubber splash guard and washed it carefully and then ran the machine with lots of water. Other times a sliced lemon or lime works. |
- Posted by babushka_cat (My Page) on Mon, Oct 15, 12 at 20:20
i shove down the disposal periodically left over lemons and toss in some baking soda, works like a charm. but a disposal smelling the whole house up - are you sure nothing has died in there??? |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Mon, Oct 15, 12 at 20:20
Check your DW discharge hose to make sure it has the high loop before discharging into the disposal. If it doesn't, then you could have yuck backing up into the hose, and potentially into your DW as well. If that's fine, then grind up ice and lemon peels. |
I had the same problem for awhile, off and on. It smelled like rotting potatoes (I'm sure many of you know exactly what I"m talking about - not pleasant!) I tried most of the advice listed above. It would go away and then come back. Not sure what it ever was but wondered if the smell was coming from deep in the pipes. |
Baking Soda and hydrogen peroxide.. the best natural deodorizer and disenfectant available.. Vinegar works well with baking soda too.. Vinegar is a very good disinfectant., Baking Soda best deodorizer.. |
If you do not use it, why don't you just take it out? Nothing left to smell and you won't even miss it. |

In fact, it was her idea to make a vacation out of baseball the way that Kevin remembered it. "We'd always had a hankering to see America without tourist traps and amusement parks," Kevin says.
The initial excursion was in 1996. The Moores loaded up the car and pointed it southeast. The first stop (it would become a regular on future trips) was in Colorado Springs, to savor a Sky Sox game. After that, the family saw, in daily succession, the Wichita Wranglers, the Amarillo Dillas, the Tulsa Drillers and the Abilene Prairie Dogs.
"The trip was perfect," Kevin says. It reminded him of why he'd originally fallen for baseball. In those minor-league parks, he saw a game fueled by excitement and love, not steroids and greed. The peach-fuzzed boys who were playing dreamed of the majors, naturally. But most seemed blissfully content to take the field -- grateful and astonished still to be playing a child's game on a warm summer night.
The next family journey was to Montana's rookie league. The drives were long, but that was part of the fun, too. By sheer chance, it turned out that Sabrina had planned their trip to coincide with one team's schedule. The family ended up following the Butte Copper Kings for more than a week, through Helena, Billings and Great Falls.
Once again, it was Abner Doubleday's creation as Kevin had always envisioned it: beautiful and basic and accessible. One night, with a Billings game rained out, the Moores decided to drive to the local mall -- what else can you do in Billings when it's raining? That's apparently what the entire roster of the minor-league Mustangs thought, too; after all, most of the players were still in their teens, and teens hang out at malls. The Moores passed a wonderful evening wandering around the stores with the players.
Another night, Kevin and the kids ambled out onto the field under the soft lights and mingled with the young team members. Unlike major-leaguers, the guys didn't mind at all. In fact, they seemed thrilled by the attention. One of them gave Kevin's son a bat to keep.
The minor-league life, like baseball itself, was full of endless possibility and whimsy. In Great Falls, the family pulled up to the stadium a few hours early. "While we were waiting," Kevin recalls, "this guy said, 'Can I help you?' We told him we needed tickets. He said, 'I'll set you up.' It turned out to be the general manager. I talked baseball for an hour with him while the kids played in the park." Later, Kevin and the kids chatted with an old guy who'd seen every game for the past four decades. It was heaven.
In 2000, Sabrina decided that the next baseball trip would be to California. The format was the same; the games would begin along the way. First up were the Las Vegas Stars, followed by the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and the Lake Elsinore Storm, and finishing, as always, with the major-league flourish: the Anaheim Angels. It was as the family was pulling into the Las Vegas stadium parking lot for the first game that Kevin's cell phone rang and he learned that his brother Mike had been found dead.
All big families, it seems, have their hero, the person who shines brightly in everything he does -- the one whose words and encouragement brothers and sisters try hardest to earn. In the Moore family, Mike was it. "Mike was my hero," says Kevin. "He was my mom's favorite; I think she'd admit that. He was everything. He was the star."
Still, as the weeks after his brother's death unfolded, Kevin found himself realizing that much of Mike's life had become a mystery. A few years earlier, Mike had followed a girlfriend out to Las Vegas, where he'd found work as a foreman for a cable company. The relationship had fallen apart, though, and a new woman had come into Mike's life. Her name was Jenny, and Mike boasted about her to Kevin and his brothers. She was a wonderful woman -- "a nice Catholic girl," he'd said, shorthand in the Moore family for an acceptable partner.
But when Kevin went to visit a little later, he realized that Jenny was not perfect. She had a police record, for drugs and prostitution. "It was a real eye-opener, at the least," says Kevin.
For his family, Mike's new life was perplexing. It seemed he had somehow gotten caught up in an existence far removed from his personality. Everyone knew he drank a lot. But Mike, in his disarming way, would always point out that booze was legal; besides, it never interfered with his work.
This was different, though. "He was delusional," Kevin says. Mike, he would learn later, had tried to get Jenny clean several times, enrolling her in drug rehabilitation programs. "But I could tell right away that she had no interest in being anything other than what she was," says Kevin. "It was a source of great trouble and angst to us."
Mike and Jenny's daughter, Meraya, was born on October 24, 1998. It was a problematic birth. As Kevin tells it, Jenny's physician, appalled at the level of drugs in her system, ordered an emergency cesarean section. While they were still at the hospital, a state social worker threatened to take the child away. A deal was brokered: Jenny's mother would take custody of both Meraya and Jenny's older daughter, Danielle.

Anyone who talks to me will know immediately that I am not a country girl. No matter how much romanticizing country songs do about hardworking people in the rural South, I my suburban roots will probably always be showing a little.
That being said, I would like to say that I no longer think I can be considered a city girl. I mean, I rendered my own lard, how city-girl can I be? Right? Oh fine… I will just pretend that I am little more country than I was before. Besides, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for that She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy song.
Anyway, I got the idea to make lard in my head from an interview the Good Food did a while back. And if you like irony, hold on to your hat, because I was hit with this inspiration while running on a treadmill. Yup. That's what working out does to me, makes me want to make and consume lard…
And, because my instructions might not be enough to convince you that you should try this for the sake of AWESOME pie crusts and biscuits, here's another site with instructions.
And for those of you freaking out that I said the word "lard," just know that lard is just a fat, like any other fat that we use. Except that it's natural and was not originally designed as an industrial lubricant ::cough:: crisco. Also, here's pretty balanced view of it from NPR. In the end, my opinion is that lard is simply another choice when deciding what fat to use in a recipe. Different fats (olive oil, butter, coconut oil, lard, etc) have different properties and reactions and flavors. Choose accordingly.
Super easy. No chemicals, perfumes, bleaches, dyes, etc. Yay.
Step 1. Go to your local pig farmer and ask for the leaf fat from around the kidneys. If possible, get them to grind it for you.
Step 2. Chop lard into small-ish chunks (I cut mine into pieces as big as a cherry tomato).
Step 3. Place lard into a crock pot on high with 1/4 cup of water (to evaporate and help prevent burning while lard heats up).
Step 4. As lard heats up, clear liquid will appear. Using a ladle, skim the liquid (the lard) off the top and pour through cheesecloth to strain into a bowl or jar for storage. It will turn white as it cools.
The leftover fat can be reserved and cooked into cracklings, but I have not tried this.
Checkout the links I provided in the body of my post for more information.

Style Local: Brandi Shigley, Fashion Denver
Denver fashion maven Brandi Shigley is all bounce and determination; even when she cries (yes, even the most cheerful people lose it once in awhile amid the trials of entrepreneurship: After vandals broke a window at Shigley's Fashion Denver boutique and headquarters last week, Brandi admits that there were tears), there's something hopeful and right and about it, like at the end of a movie when the protagonist heads out into the sunset. Brandi in Lily Bell.
And she's chosen her motto -- "Do what you love, love what you do" -- for a reason: It's a message she emits nonstop to all who seek her skills as a promoter and cheerleader for local designers and fashion artisans. It's also the name of the formal pep talk she gives periodically at Fashion Denver and other fashionista hot-spots; an inspirational message inspired by her own story of a young girl who decided to make and market her own line of handbags and who eventually morphed into what and who she is today: a mentor to clients trying to make it in an entrepreneurial world. To that end, she showcases many unique clothing, jewelry and accessory lines, both at Fashion Denver and at quarterly fashion markets (such as last weekend's Vixen holiday market at the Grant-Humphreys mansion). In Denver, Brandi is the local designer's best friend.
A brooch by BarBieQued, at Fashion Denver.
In the coming year, Brandi expects to continue towing the the line in an upward motion: In the boutique she hopes to keep evolving, depending on the staples while trying new things. "I want designers to have a home, a place where they can put themselves out there without having to do everything themselves," Brandi says. "And I want to take our designers to the next level by focusing on business development through agencies like the Denver Design Incubator. I love spreading the word about them." By the next level, she means to lead clients beyond the world of piecework and into the realm of line production, and Brandi thinks more than a few of our local designers have the chops to do it.
Right now, the boutique is decked and and still Christmas-ready, with items both gift-worthy or begging to worn for a holiday night on the town: Some of Brandi's many favorites include the sexiest lingerie ever (fetching, youthful and modern sweet nothings by Young Blood Couture that channel the trendy, from burlesquey touches to pure plaid), Lily Bell's adorable sparkly holiday head gear, bags from So Whimsy, plumped-up knit caps by Sarah Brist, whimsical reversible aprons by Gnarls Zombie and so much more.

I have a desk and would really like to know some information on it if anyone has any! What kind of wood? When was it manufactured? Maybe some refinishing techniques.
There is a plate on the back that says "Revell & Co Chicago Illinois" and have determined that to be the department store that sold this desk. Also on the inside of one of the drawers is a tag that says "Landstroms Furniture Corp 1879 Rockford Illinois" Thanks a lot!
Follow-Up Postings:
It looks to be 1930's furniture, veneer, some of it looks like burl. But again looking at the brasses, it looks like it could be 1960's or 70's. Do a google search on Rockford Ill and maybe you can find info there. Start out cleaning up with mineral spirits and then decide where to go from there. Linda c |

I have a desk with drawer and folding top that will lay flat or the part covering the front of the desk will stand as if to hold items while writing and has 2 side storage areas and several cubby holes. I also have a cane bottom chair that may have been bought along with the desk. I would like the age is possible and ball park value. Both in excellent condition. I do not have a key for the lock.

Ben Bowlby, the evil genius behind the radical DeltaWing race car, ought to be decked out in combat fatigues, with an AK-47 slung over his shoulder. Or maybe dressed in a stiff Russian suit and one of those funky hats Lenin used to wear. He is, after all, the most dangerous revolutionary in the world of motorsports, the creator of a car that not only looks unlike anything ever raced on a track before but also threatens to render everything on the track today instantly obsolete.
It's a sweltering Friday afternoon at the Indiana-polis Motor Speedway, two days before the 2010 edition of the Indy 500, and a full-size model of Bowlby's weapon of mass destruction is on display in front of the famous Pagoda. With its needlelike nose, superwide rear track, and arresting vertical fin, the DeltaWing is a fantastically futuristic, love-it-or-hate-it vision that looks like it belongs on the Bonneville Salt Flats -- or in a sci-fi flick -- rather than 100 yards from Gasoline Alley, the most conservative bastion in racedom.
Out on the track, Indy Lights cars are racing in the Freedom 100, and on the stage in the infield, the roadies for ZZ Top are doing a sound check. But at the moment, a huge throng is swarming around the DeltaWing. As I walk up, I half expect to see Bowlby lead them in an armed insurrection against the reactionaries who run the IndyCar Series. But when I get close enough to make out his crisp, button-down shirt and indestructible smile, I realize that he looks less like a clean-shaven Fidel Castro and more like one of those robotically upbeat ushers hired to pacify the crowds at Disneyland.
On the wall behind him are artists' renderings of four other cars -- stylized versions of the winged wonders that have been racing at Indy for generations, what Bowlby dismissively refers to as "Formula 1 wannabes." These are the DeltaWing's rivals. Six weeks after the 500, the ruling class will select the IZOD IndyCar Series' chassis for 2012 and beyond. The Delta-Wing, if chosen, will trigger a revolution, and rev- olutions, Bowlby knows, succeed only with grassroots support. Which is why he's out here, braving the mob and the enervating heat, answering the same questions, over and over and over again: What the hell is it? How is it going to make it around a corner? Why does it look so freaking weird?

I have Intrigue and Stuttgart in part sun. They flop over either at flowering or just before. I figure its from lack of sun (?). Or maybe this is just a characteristic of the tall cannas/variety. I have some banana cannas that never flop, but are in more sun. Thanks Jim |
Follow-Up Postings:
mine are too! not only falling over, but after the first flower spike blooms, the second spike sits there and won't open. I thought these plants were easy. I asked this Qquestion (falling over) and did not get any answers from the forum. The get plenty of sun and water. come on, canna people, help us novices |
- Posted by Downeastmd 7bMd (My Page) on Mon, Sep 5, 05 at 17:03
My cannas are all between 8-12 ft. tall, and I haven't had any problems except when the wind speed reaches a certain point, I am no pro but it sounds like to me the root system isn't receiving the proper nutrients to be able to support the plants up to the flowers itself. It could be a soil issue, also what have you done as far as fertilizer and ammending the soil? |
I put peat moss into the soil before planting. they are in with a lot of impatiens. I stopped using miracle grow about a month ago, because the impatiens were producing too much foliage, and not enough flowers. have not fertilized since. they are just 5' tall(wyomings) and just stopped doing anything. |
- Posted by username_5 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 5, 05 at 23:42
canna=sun (for best results) impatiens=shade canna=dump fertilizer on them impatiens=little fert required canna= drown in water impatiens= water if you have to, wet feet kills them. I don't know why your cannas are falling over, but it simply isn't possible to meet the cultural requirements of both in the same spot. |
thank you for your help. so you cannot over water canna? |
- Posted by username_5 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 7, 05 at 22:12
Can you overwater canna? Good question. The short answer is 'no', the longer answer is 'maybe, but it would take some effort or just bad luck'. Not all canna are the same, but most are considered 'marginal' plants. Marginal means they live happily on the 'margins' of water bodies. Meaning they grow in water logged soils. Many folks use canna in their water gardens with the tubers 6" under water. Considering this it is indeed dificult to imagine overwatering a canna. Having said that many also say that the tubers, prior to showing vegetative growth, can rot in water. I would imagine that in a heavy clay soil that is waterlogged there may be some issues as well, but maybe not. Still, as a general rule, cannas are one plant you do not need to worry about overwatering. |
Could it be that the rhizomes were not planted deep enough to support the growth?? |
- Posted by zane 5(email@example.com) onSat, Jul 18, 09 at 10:01
Yes you can over-water cannas. If you have them in planters or in a flower bed that recieves too much water or water pools on them when it rains, they are succeptable to rotting just like any bulb, tuber, rhizome or corm. |
- Posted by struwwelpeter 5 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 18, 09 at 11:15
"I have Intrigue and Stuttgart in part sun." In the ground or containers? A calcium or silicon deficiency weakens stems. Supplemental feeding of potassium silicate and calcium nitrate (but not together) is practical for containers. I have experience with this and my experiments have shown cannas to be extreme silicon accumulators. For the ground, there is a silicon fertilizer, Excellerator, that is sold for golf greens. I have no experience with this. See http://www.firt.org/Presentation_Archive/2007/Scarbrough_Silica_in_Plant_Nutrition_presentation.pdf |

- 1 can (14.5 ounces) gigante or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 5 ounces baby spinach (about 5 cups)
- 3 1/2 ounces feta cheese (about 2/3 cup), plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus more for garnish
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, lamb, bulgur, red-pepper flakes, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring to break up lamb, until lamb is cooked, about 5 minutes. Add paprika; stir until fragrant and toasted, 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and water, bring to a simmer, and cover. Lower heat; gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until bulgur is tender, about 25 minutes.
Stir in beans, spinach, feta, and oregano; cook until feta is almost melted and beans are warmed through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with feta and oregano.

Tasty, but "mealy" from the texture of the bulgur being so similar to the ground lamb. Might have been better with lamb chunks?

This is a great hearty winter meal. The diced tomatoes, beans, and spinach add texture to the stew, which has a porridge-like consistency. The feta is a must, adding a tangy-salty element that brings all the flavors together.

Made it, but increased ground lamb to a pound. Still thought there was too much bulgur. Next time I would use less bulgur. My Jordanian husband liked it.
