btus & doors of 1950s okms and wedgewoods
I am looking for a 1950s OKM or Wedgewood double oven from the 50s. How in the heck do I tell what BTUs are in the burners? I swore that someone said their burners are 15k, but GrapeVine Sally's biggest sizes are 12k. (I would love 15 and 12 on my stove). I've asked everyone whose stoves I've been interested in...and they can't tell me (if it's stamped on the burner, it's not visible to the naked eye).
If the BTUs are stamped on the burner, where is it?
And are the burners sizes interchangeable?
Finally, can you swap out doors from the solid front to the glass front?
Oh, and Savon Appliance rocks. I called them Friday to ask some simple questions, and the owner was incredibly helpful. I was I lived closer to LA to really use that resource.
Thank you!
The BTU ratings are usually stamped on an ID plate, which might be on the back of the range, or more commonly, the ID plate may be under the top in the burner cavity area. Most of the old ranges I've seen usually max out at 12k. That's not to say some aren't higher, back in the 50's and 60's my Dad had a 60" Magic Chef commercial with six 18000 BTU burners, a 36" oven, a 24" griddle, and an open broiler below the griddle!
On our OKM the plate is on the inside of the cabinet door (single oven) and lists it. Our biggest burners are 12K though. Check the backs of the ranges if you don't see the plate inside anywhere, though, as ctycdm noted. Can't recall if Wedgewoods have the BTUs listed on plates too.
Thanks all...seems like you can open up the valves, but you can't switch out the burners. But perhaps I can live with it.
So, I found 2 Wedgewood double oven options. One has the top part that I like...but no glass double oven doors (and more expensive). The other doesn't have a top I like as much, but I like the glass double oven doors...but less expensive.
I would really like to hold out for an OKM double oven, but I have not yet found one east of the Mississippi.
I probably don't need the stove for another 4 to 6 months. Should I hold out the one I really really want?

You can swap the doors. I did! I wanted "no glass" for a tidy, white look, but the stove I liked had glass. The sellers changed it for me.
The burners are easily adjusted so that you can singe your ceiling if you want to!
And I say hold out! I got a single oven, and 7 years later, I really wish I had 2 ovens for my set up. I have the Grillevator, which I think is fantastic. However, I have neither a stove pipe, nor a vent hood. Without one or the other, the Grillevator is mostly useless to me. If I had proper ventillation, I'd go with my current set up b/c the full sozed broiler can do wonderful things with meat. Alas, when I attempt those wonderful things (like rotisserie style chicken), my kitchen walls get black sooty stuff on them. I can only do short term, lower heat stuff like bacon, melted cheese, etc.

When I was around fourteen or fifteen I went with my Latin class to Italy, and we took a day trip to Pisa to see the tower and cathedral there. From the train station you have to take a bus to get to the more touristy attractions, and it was on that bus on the way back when I noticed a man standing a little too close to me from behind.
Every time the bus lurched he would press into me, and I could feel his erection – he was wearing baggy sweatpants of a thin material. I kept inching away from him but the bus was crowded and I couldn't move much. I was completely petrified – although I was already used to men making comments about me (which seemed to happen especially frequently in Italy, although I was living in a small town at the time where I was kind of an "alternative" kid and didn't "fit in" so maybe it's an unfair contrast) no one had ever touched me like this before. I didn't know what to do. Luckily, one of my friends' mothers was a chaperone on the trip, and she caught on to what was happening and offered to switch places with me.
I have been lucky enough to have traveled extensively, but almost everywhere I've been it seems like someone is going to harass me – including the time, during my second trip to Italy, a young man told me he "loved my boobs" – while I was walking with my mother.
I'm now attending college in New York City, which isn't really a reduction in the harassment. I love New York but I'd really like to be able to go a day without a wolf whistle or a comment.

I am harassed on a daily basis, no matter what I wear or how I look. I take the bus to work everyday and I can't remember a single time when I was not stared at. Most of the time it's lewd staring but sometimes men will hiss, make kissing noises, approach me to ask for my number, yell at me from their car window, honk at me when they drive by. I've also been groped.
For the longest time I felt embarrassed to talk about how much this bothered me. When I talk about it to male friends, they think I should get used to it. But I don't think I ever will. It's not up to me to get used to it, it's up to them to stop disrespecting me.
I've lived in 2 different countries and the same harassment happens in both countries.
It's very sad that a woman should feel unsafe and uncomfortable every single day on her commute to work.
I feel scared to retaliate because I'm on my own.

I don't even know how to classify this assault type.
When I was 18 I went to Rio for a job interview and I was going to meet a friend afterward to catch a movie in the Odeon cinema. The interview was postponed last minute and my friend was busy so I decided to go ahead to the cinema and watch one of the previous movies from an animation festival going on. It would be finished just in time for her to arrive. The screening room was quite full and I sat in a seat I managed to find and left the aisle seat spare. I regret this so much now…
As the room got dark and the lights dimmed a middle aged man — around 40-50 years or so sat next to me. I was very interested in the movie but in the corner of my eye I could see movement in his groin area. I was too afraid to look directly or do anything but in could tell his cock was out and he was masturbating right there! His hand was on his thigh and he would extend his pinky to touch my leg and I would move away. It felt so gross. A million things went through my head, I was afraid to get up and walk past him, I was afraid he might follow me, I was afraid he would start touching me more, for some reason I was embarrassed to ask for help from the person next to me… I was just stumped and scared. The whole time I wanted to punch the guy and stomp on his balls or do something to cause him physical pain but instead I stared at the screen and moved away from his gross stretching finger.
At the end of the movie as the lights went on I did something! I yelled PERVERT at him and as he walked away and blended into the crowd people asked me what happened, if i was ok etc… I wish I had done it AS SOON AS he pulled it out… word of advice: HOLLABACK! the sooner the better!

My sister had a concert in Florence, so I went with my brother and my dad. It was in the middle of the day in a huge, fairly crowded piazza and I was standing in between my brother and my dad. Out of nowhere, I felt a hand squeeze my ass and when I turned around, a man was walking away staring at me. I was scared and mortified but all I could do was shoot him a really vicious look. My brother and my dad didn't see what happened, and I have always been too embarrassed to tell them. I was 21 years old and I wanted to cry like a baby. I felt dirty and begged them to go home and let me change out of my skirt and into pants. I am so glad Hollaback exists and I will never let a street harasser control me like that again!

I was walking in a quiet street when I noticed someone was walking behind me. At first I didn't pay much notice, but I noticed that when I upped my speed, the person behind me started walking faster as well, and was getting closer to me. Then all of a sudden, I feel a pull on my coat, and in one quick movement this guy just pulls up my skirt and exposes me right in the street. I turned back, stunned, and yelled 'Jerk!' while he quickly ran away. I was wearing heels, so it was no use running after him. It was infuriating.

A few years ago when I was walking to the gym when a group of men sitting outside an apartment building started talking to me. It started out innocently enough with "How are you?" "Have a nice day," etc. Then one of them got up and followed me and trying to talk to me even though I made it clear I was not interested. He said we should go out and proceeded to grab my ass. I told him not to touch me and jumped away. He replied "But I like touching." Even when clearly being spurned he kept following me, asking for my number. He didn't leave me alone until I gave him a phone number…that I made up. What a jerkface.

I was out for my birthday with a friend. My friend and I decided to step outside and take my pool stick to her car so we could start dancing. As we were exiting the building, I see a man grab my friend's ass. She batted his hands away and kept going. I looked the fool dead in the eye and told him, "Don't touch me." He made a move as if to grab my crotch and I grabbed him by the thumb, gave it a twist and started pushing him and shouting. When I had him pinned into the corner with his thumb in a tight bind, I asked him loudly, "Do you want to die in that shirt?!?" Then dislocated his thumb for him. He crumpled to the floor and the bouncer, who had witnessed the whole thing, started complaining that I had acted badly. I looked him in the eye and asked, "What would you want your daughter to do?"
The groper went to the hospital and the bouncer bought me a drink. My friend and I continued our evening not only unmolested, but treated with respect and dignity.
I'm not advocating violence, but sometimes you have to break the fingers that touch you.

This happened when I was 16 and in Montreal for the Just for Laughs Festival. It was crowded on the streets, more crowded than any concert I've ever been to. We all seemed to be migrating to the same place. I thought it was sort of funny and some older guy behind me was laughing about it. I turned around and smiled since it was nice we both found the humour in it. He had olive skin, was probably 25 years older than me, dark hair, a few inches shorter than me (I'm about 6ft). When I was facing forward I felt his hands feeling my ass, tickling, trying to get up my skirt. I was in such shock that all I could think to do was tell my twin sister who was directly in front of me. She turned her head around, glared, and told him to stop it. He stopped and acted put off like it was some innocent misunderstanding. I'm so thankful my sister was there, it made me stronger.
I'm proud to say I was raised by very strong female figures and men who respected women. Even with that, though, I still questioned what I did to get that unwanted attention. Was I wrong to be in a good mood, to smile at a stranger, did I invite the behaviour? I dismissed these ideas but it made me cautious of who I gave any sort of attention.
Even now, as a 25 yr old living alone downtown in Edmonton, I purposely avoid eye contact, listen to my iPod where ever I walk alone, wear sunglasses as long as it's sunny enough. I think it's smart to be aware of ones surroundings, not make yourself a target for unwanted interactions and behaviour but it's sad that I have to be so on guard at all hours of the day. It speaks volumes of the society women live in.

About 10 years ago, my sister and I were traveling to Dubrovnik on a bus from Split. She was sitting in the back row with another traveling companion, while I chose to sit a few rows up to take advantage of 2 empty seats so I could stretch out and cat nap.
I awoke to the realization that the man (about in his 20's) seated behind me had slipped his hand between the seats and was groping my ass. I, not to mince words, freaked out. I immediately stood up and began a furious diatribe at the man in English, my only tongue, making sure it was loud enough that the whole bus could hear what I was saying. Though many on the bus may not have understood all of my words, I have found through extensive travel that English swear words usually are understood universally in most of Europe, and so peppered my righteous screed with them. I'm a carpenter's daughter and learned the skill of spontaneous and poetic strings of profanity from an early age. As I was doing this, and without thinking, I grabbed my almost full water bottle from the seat, unscrewed the cap and proceeded to pour it out all over my harasser, who was stunned into immobility by my reaction, and obviously embarrassed and ashamed. A couple more "fuck you's" and "don't fucking touch me again, asshole" and I sat down. At the next stop most of the passengers got out for a leg stretch including this still soaking-wet guy, who skulked away towards the end of the bus alone to smoke. I noticed several other passengers pointing and laughing at him.
The coolest thing was my sister telling our Italian male companion during the incident decidedly that, no, I didn't need his help. The worst was his commentary (after I explained to him exactly what happened) in essence that I was overreacting; after all, harassment like this doesn't really harm anyone, and most men in Italy and Croatia do it so it's okay, also European women expect it. That pissed me off more than the groping.
But I bet the jerk who grabbed me will think twice about ever trying that again, if only to avoid another "crazy American bitch".

I have two to share. First is molestation, second is verbal, but I'm filing this under verbal.
When I was 14, I was molested by (all I remember is) a very tall man who brushed against my groin while I was in the aisle of a gift shop. I was naive and thought maybe he didn't do it on purpose but when he did it again despite the fact that I'd given him a lot of room, I just looked at him and kept looking until he hurriedly left. The thing is, I was so shocked that I really couldn't recall what he looked like.
When I was in my early 20s, a man who looked like he was in his 50s or 60s was queueing at the supermarket with his family. Even though his wife and daughter were there, he kept leering at me and making remarks about me because I was wearing shorts. I didn't do anything about it, but I wish I had.
I'm still not good at standing up to people, but I swear I'm not going to just do nothing if it happens again.

Alzheimer's Disease Health Center
Alzheimer's Disease and Clinical Trials
In this article
What Are the Advantages of Participating In a Clinical Trial?
- In a clinical trial, you may receive a new treatment before it is widely available to the public.
- You can provide researchers with the information they need to continue developing new procedures and introducing new treatment methods.
- Your treatment costs may be decreased, since many of the tests and doctor visits that are directly related to the clinical trial are paid for by the company or agency sponsoring the study. Be sure to discuss your treatment costs with the physicians and nurses conducting the clinical trial.
Could Any Problems Arise From Participating In a Clinical Trial?
This will depend on the type of treatment and the patient's condition.
Because the drug or device being studied is new, all of the risks and side effects of the treatment are not known at the beginning of the clinical trial. Since this is the case, there may be unknown side effects, as well as hoped-for benefits. It is important to note that most treatments, as well as the disease or condition itself, have potential unpleasant effects.
Patients will be informed of any known side effects they could experience, as well as any side effects that occur or become known while they are participating in the trial.
How Would My Treatment Be Different If I Participated in a Clinical Trial?
- You may receive more examinations and tests than are usually given for your particular condition. The purpose of these tests is to follow your progress and collect study data. Of course, tests can carry certain benefits and risks or discomforts of their own. Although they can be inconvenient, these tests can assure extra observation.
- Depending on the type of clinical trial, you may be asked to stop or change the medication(s) you are currently taking. You may also be asked to change your diet or any activities that could affect the outcome of the trial.
- Some clinical trials are double-blind, placebo-controlled. This means that the clinical trial participants may receive the real drug or an inactive substance that looks exactly like the drug (called a placebo). Neither the participant nor the researcher will know which drug they are receiving. This is done to make certain that the real drug is effective.
- Clinical trial participants are willing volunteers. Even though patients may be asked by their doctors to take part in a clinical trial, it is up to the patient to make the final decision, or to pull out of the trial if they want to.

FDA Lifting Of Ban On Gay Blood Donors Doesn't Go Far Enough, Activists Say By Paula Wissel • Dec 23, 2014 Malcolm Griffes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:03 The Food and Drug Administration FDA is proposing ending the lifetime ban on gay blood donors. But even if such is the case, there would still be restrictions. And that disappoints activists who've been pushing for change. Idaho City Narrowly Upholds Gay Rights Law In Closely Watched Vote By Jessica Robinson • May 21, 2014 An effort to overturn one Idaho city's gay rights ordinance appears to have failed by a slim margin. The anti-discrimination law in Pocatello was upheld Tuesday night by a projected margin of 90 votes. City councils in seven Idaho cities have barred employers, landlords and most businesses from discriminating on basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. But Pocatello's ordinance was the first in the state to be put to a popular vote. Pocatello Vote Seen As Test Of Gay-Rights Measures In Idaho By Jessica Robinson • May 20, 2014 Jessica Robinson Voters in Pocatello, Idaho will decide the fate of the city's non-discrimination ordinance Tuesday. Pocatello is one of seven cities in Idaho that have passed laws aimed at protecting gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual people, but this is the first time one of these measures has been put to a popular vote. Oregon's Attorney General Won't Defend Same-Sex Marriage Ban By Chris Lehman • Feb 20, 2014 Eric Gay / AP Photo Listen Listening... / 0:51 Oregon's Attorney General says she won't defend the state against federal lawsuits challenging the state's same-sex marriage ban.

Bill To Prevent Gay Conversion Passes Wash. State House, Headed To Senate By The Associated Press • Feb 13, 2014 tswartz / Flickr A bill intended to prevent health care providers from trying to convert gay people under age 18 has passed the state House. House Bill 2451, which passed on a 94-4 vote, would make it an act of unprofessional conduct to try to change the sexual orientation of a patient under 18. That would include efforts to change behaviors, gender expressions or to reduce sexual or romantic attractions toward people of the same sex. Gay Rights Advocates: Idaho Bills Would Upend Local Discrimination Bans By Jessica Robinson • Jan 30, 2014 Jessica Robinson Listen Listening... / 0:57 Gay rights advocates say legislation introduced this week in Idaho would undermine local anti-discrimination ordinances passed in seven Idaho cities. The new bills are aimed protecting religious people from activities they say violate their beliefs. Republican Idaho lawmakers are responding to incidents elsewhere in the Northwest. A florist in Richland, Wash., faces lawsuits for refusing to provide the flowers for a same-sex wedding. In Oregon, investigators found a baker in Gresham who made a similar stand violated the state's civil rights laws. Seattle Archdiocese Stands By Firing Of Eastside Catholic's Gay Vice Principal By The Associated Press • Jan 15, 2014 Students and parents protesting the departure of a gay vice principal from their Seattle-area Catholic high school on Wednesday turned in a petition to the Archdiocese of Seattle asking the church to reconsider its policy on gay marriage. The archdiocese responded with a statement saying they stand by the decision to replace the popular teacher, coach and vice principal. 2nd Gay Worker At Eastside Catholic School To Marry By Mike Baker • Jan 7, 2014 Alex Garland A gay woman hired to choreograph a Catholic school musical says she recently got engaged to her partner and is nervous about how school leaders will handle the news. Stephanie Merrow is working on her second musical for Eastside Catholic School in Sammamish, where vice principal Mark Zmuda was recently forced out of his job for marrying his partner. Eastside Catholic Students Protest Forced Departure of Gay Vice Principal By Donna Gordon Blankinship • Dec 20, 2013 Alex Garland Students at a Seattle-area Catholic school are gaining national attention for their protest over the forced departure of a gay vice principal. An online petition started by the senior class president of Eastside Catholic was the third fastest growing U.S. petition on change.org Friday, attracting around 15,000 signatures in one day. In Wake of Suit, BNSF to Offer Benefits to Same-Sex Spouses By Gene Johnson • Dec 4, 2013 Ted S. Warren / Associated Press The nation's largest freight rail carriers have announced they will provide health benefits to the same-sex spouses of their employees, one day after legally married, gay engineers filed a federal lawsuit in Seattle. Gus Melonas, a spokesman for BNSF Railway Co., read the statement from the National Railway Labor Conference to The Associated Press on Wednesday. The conference represents the railroad companies in dealings with labor groups. IRS Ruling Could Mean Upswing in Same-Sex Marriages in Wash. By Chris Lehman • Aug 29, 2013 Elaine Thompson / Associated Press County officials who issue marriage licenses in Washington state are gearing up for a possible influx of new applicants following the Internal Revenue Services' ruling that states gay marriage will be recognized across state lines for federal tax purposes. A Leading Question: Ed Murray's Approach to Winning Gay Rights By Ashley Gross • Jul 26, 2013 Ashley Gross / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:53 Editor's note: KPLU has asked all nine candidates in the Seattle mayoral race to tell us about a time when his or her leadership skills were put to the test. One candidate's answer follows.Ed Murray's Capitol Hill office is on the same block as the Gay City LGBT library. Inside hangs a sign that says "March with Ed in Pride."Murray wants to be Seattle's first openly gay mayor. So maybe it won't surprise you that many of his leadership moments have to do with securing gay and lesbian rights after many setbacks. Take 2005, for example. In Gay America, Optimism Abounds As Stigma Persists, Pew Says By Bill Chappell • Jun 13, 2013 Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans say they feel more accepted in society than they did 10 years ago, and they're overwhelmingly optimistic that the trend will continue. But a sweeping new Pew Research Center survey also finds persistent levels of stigmatization and secrecy in the community. Boy Scouts approve plan to accept openly-gay boys By The Associated Press • May 23, 2013 Associated Press The Boy Scouts of America's National Council has voted to ease a long-standing ban and allow openly gay boys to be accepted as Scouts. Of the local Scout leaders voting at their annual meeting in Texas, more than 60 percent supported the proposal. Pages1 2 3 4 next › last »

A quest in the quire for the bones of the squire

7 Pearls of Dubious Pedigree January 27, 2015Posted by nrhatch in Humor, Mindfulness, People, Word Play.
Tags: Humor, Mindfulness, People, Vegetarian, Word Play
48 comments
Every so often, I toss flotsam, jetsam, and/or detritus overboard in order to keep synapses firing at optimal efficiency.
Here for your consideration are 7 Pearls of Dubious Pedigree:
Judgment gives us the ability to weigh options and choose between competing priorities. We would be lost without it.
Fundraisers unite
with one common goal ~ to take
your money and run
Even if you give ALL opposing ideas, thoughts, and opinions the benefit of the doubt, that doesn't mean they possess any inherent validity.
Some ideas are ignorant, idiotic, and/or just plain evil.
Not convinced? Keep reading . . .
2. Rejecting Social Acceptability.
Next time you're in a restaurant (or, better still, the bowling alley!), reach over and grab a handful of French fries or a slice of pizza from your neighbors.
See what happens.
3. The Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project.
If parents can't make equitable distributions between 2-3 offspring, how would society do so for everyone?
"How come Mozart got a GRAND PIANO and I just got a stupid harmonica?"
"Be glad it's not a rock, Charlie Brown."
4. Why are carnivores averse to cannibalism?
Why are cows, pigs, chickens, and turkeys gobbled up while horses, dogs, cats, and rodents are shunned by everyone but Andrew Zimmern?
Why are we willing to donate our organs to science . . . but not to someone's breakfast table?
5. A "Pay It Forward" Pyramid Scheme.
There's a Pay It Forward chain letter circulating through cyber space.
When I saw it for the first time, I refrained from leaving a comment on the post because I did NOT want to be selected to win an "unspecified surprise" . . . not if it meant agreeing to add five more people to the chain by offering to send them an unspecified surprise if they would each agree to add five more people to the chain.
Etc. Etc. Etc. Ad Nauseum. The whole thing is just too forced and phony. A pyramid scheme gone awry.
I'm happy to perform "good deeds" and "random acts of kindness" on an ad hoc basis, but I don't like gifts with strings attached.
And, even if I enjoyed being manipulated via cyber strings, I'm not going to agree to send out 5 surprises in exchange for one surprise I might not even like.
"Be glad it's not a rock, Charlie Brown."
When we are mindful, ample opportunities to be kind appear in our In Box every day . . . without the necessity of entering into contrived cyber contracts.
Laughter each day keeps the doctor away.
He who laughs, lasts. ~ Mary Pettibone Poole
And even if you don't get better, you'll feel better. It's a win-win for everyone.
Except the doctor. But 'eel get over it!
Eek . . . an eel!
Grasping on to my heel!
Whilst wrapped in chain
Oh what a sight
I shudder with fright
But 'eel steal my pain
All's well that ends well
The Eel that Time Remembered (Kate Shrewsday)
When I was a kid, I ate a poisonous mushroom in the backyard and had to have my stomach pumped.
It left a bad taste in my mouth.
That's why I refuse to eat fungus.
If ever I get around to writing a Vegetarian Cookbook, it will NOT include any recipes featuring mushrooms, toadstools, or truffles.
I'll call it, No Fungus, Please!
Aah . . . that's better!

They're already gone
In so many ways that matter
It's too soon to mourn
They're still on life's stage
We sit in the audience
Watching the curtain fall
How much will be left
When nothing is left at all
Of the way they were?

A hint:
Aah . . . that's better!

I don't mind a few made up words that stretch language to its limits.
There's something fun about limericks
Especially those that boast gimmericks
They make us smile
And ponder awhile
On the sleight of tongue trickericks
Here's to the liberal literary license of limericks!
After all, where would Dr. Seuss be
If he had limited his vocabulary
To words already written
Would we be as smitten
If it hadn't called it a Truffula tree?
Aah . . . that's better!
Do you enjoy limericks? With sleight of tongue trickericks? Are you a fan of the bawdier the better rhymes . . . featuring folks from Nantucket?

As I read through my grandfather's letters, his occasional turn of phrase made me grin.
For example, instead of calling someone a jerk (or worse), you might point out that they are "trying to be a bit odd" . . .
* 12/4/55 ~ Following his retirement from post office after 30+ years of service, my grandfather shared:
I am having some little fuss over the records but feel it can be cleaned up. Both Tim and Armond are trying to be a bit odd.
I bought a 160# quarter of beef. Have it hanging down stairs. I hope we continue to eat anyway.
As a pragmatist, my grandfather obviously felt that if you didn't starve, you were doing alright. Here's another example along the same lines:
* 1/1/57 ~ "I read The Bible As History and a notorious new book with a local background across the river from White River ~ Peyton Place. The author's husband lost his teaching job in a N.H. High School over the book. He got another job and did not starve."
And he dished up some good dope:
* 9/14/57 ~ "About the weekend of 25-26: I want to give you some dope on that.
* 11/26/61 ~ "So life goes on and it is foolish to brood over the mistakes we made."
* 9/20/62 ~ "Don't work too hard. I don't if I can dodge it."
He was happy to be needed . . . or not:
* 7/22/66 ~ "Margaret has gone slumming. An Art Exhibit in Hanover and some shopping. I did not seem necessary ~ happily."
Aah . . . that's better!

"Tonight's Halloween. Let's have fun.
Mayhem and mischief shall be done!"
Hilda swirled and twirled round the room.
Fireplace sparks pierced the gloom.
"Where's my broomstick? It's time to fly!"
Pumpkin sat mute. With no reply.
Hilda reached underneath the bed,
but only found a shrunken head.
She opened drawers and closet doors,
accompanied by creaking floors.
Dust rose and fell as Hilda paced.
Pumpkin glared. Evil grin in place.
Cauldron bubbled with purple brew.
"Broomstick. Broomstick. Where are you?"
The clock chimed twelve and Hilda froze,
as one small tear ran down her nose.

The Case of the Stolen Stollen October 24, 2014Posted by nrhatch in Food & Drink, Humor, Word Play.

My maternal grandfather loved puns, crosswords, and word play . . . like Toyota = Toy Auto.
He also loved Stollen Bread and received a loaf from my mother every Christmas for as long as he lived.
When I read Nancy Curteman's post on Global Mysteries about The Isle of Guernsey, it struck me that the ingredients for a Guernsey Gache sounded like those for Stollen Bread.
I wondered whether the similarities stemmed from German occupation of Guernsey during World War II.
Could it be The Case of the Stolen Stollen?
There's a mystery for Miss Marple!
Aah . . . that's better!
ACK! I said the C-word and it's not even half-past Halloween.
Puts fingers in ears and hums "LA~LA~LA~LA~LA" to drown out premature mention of the advent.

text:
It is the season of Inundation, the time of year when the Nile overflows its banks, flooding the fields and renewing them for planting. The royal palace is quiet. I, the king's third daughter, called Cleopatra, am ten years old. I sit alone in my quarters, reading the scroll laid out on my table. I am nearly halfway through a history by my favorite Greek writer, Herodotus, when I hear a commotion in the forecourt. I abandon the scroll and step outside to investigate.
Glistening with sweat, a runner bows low before me and delivers his message. A lookout has sighted the royal fleet outside the entrance to the Great Harbor. My father, Ptolemy XII, the king of Egypt, is returning to Alexandria. This is the news I have longed for. He has been away for many months. Word reached Egypt that the king had left Rome, but much can happen to a ship crossing the vast sea called the Mediterranean.
A dozen runners have sprinted across the causeway from the lighthouse, the swiftest dispatched to the royal palace to relay the news to the king's household, beginning with his grand vizier, Antiochus. The grand vizier is no doubt sleeping, having finished duck hunting in the cooler hours of the morning. He will not like having his rest disturbed.
Next, the king's children are informed, starting with my older sisters, Tryphaena and Berenike, followed by me and then by Arsinoë, who is eight—two years younger than I—and, finally, the nurses who care for our little brothers. I hurry to look for Arsinoë. She is plump and affectionate but not the least bit clever. She will be glad to see Father, though he has never paid much attention to her. He had not wanted a fourth daughter.
I find Arsinoë playing with her pet monkey, Ako, under the watchful eye of her devoted bodyguard, Nebtawi. My sister has dressed Ako in a little kilt and is dancing it around like a furry doll. The monkey screeches, breaks free, and leaps onto me, flinging its hairy arms around my neck. Annoyed, I pry it off, and it scampers away, still wearing the ridiculous kilt. In two long strides Nebtawi captures the runaway and tenderly returns it to Arsinoë. My sister beams at her bodyguard. He is a short, muscular eunuch, and they are almost like father and daughter.
"Father is coming today," Arsinoë announces. "I've already heard. Panya says I may wear a new dress and jewels but that I may not use cosmetics." Her lower lip is already forming a pout. Panya has been my sister's nurse since our mother died giving birth to Arsinoë, and she is very protective.
"You still have your sidelock," I remind her, looking at the long lock of hair hanging from her head, the mark of childhood. "No cosmetics until it is cut off."
"When will that be?" she asks, although surely she already knows.
"When you start to grow breasts."
I lost my sidelock only a month earlier, though I was not quite ready. More than a little, but I wish to be taken seriously and not treated like a child.
"Your hair is growing faster than your breasts," my sister Tryphaena had said with a sneer when I first appeared without my sidelock. My eyes had welled with tears, though I refused to let her see them.
I leave Arsinoë with Nebtawi and her monkey and consider visiting my older sisters to take the measure of their mood, but I decide against it. I am not at all fond of them, nor are they of me. Tryphaena is sixteen, Berenike fourteen, and they have been jealous of me for as long as I can remember. It is because of Father. Sometimes they hint darkly that I am not even his true daughter. "You are not like us, Cleopatra," Berenike has said. They are right to believe that I am his favorite. But this is not my fault. I have done nothing to win his favor. Nevertheless, I avoid both of them.
They are probably taking their ease in the garden outside their quarters, as they do most days. Those two will not be happy to learn of Father's return. The longer the king stays away, the more likely they are to find a way to put themselves in his place. Nothing would have pleased them more than to learn that he was lost at sea. But now he has come back, and they will be forced to put on a good face and pretend to welcome him. It will be an interesting performance to watch.
Our little brothers, one barely two years old and the other born after my father left for Rome and not yet weaned, are not old enough to care. It is the custom among royal families of Egypt to use names over and over, even within one generation, so our little brothers, Ptolemy XIII and Ptolemy XIV, are named for Father. My mother, Father's first wife, was Cleopatra V, and Tryphaena is known formally as Cleopatra VI. I am Cleopatra VII. The name means "Famous in her Father." I believe it suits me best.
It has also been the custom of the pharaohs since the earliest days of Egypt for royal brothers to marry their sisters. My mother was Father's half sister. I remember hardly anything about my mother, except her lovely voice and her scent. Sometimes I catch a hint of perfume that brings back a memory of her as hard to grasp as a winter mist, and her absence often makes me feel alone, though there are people everywhere around me. Father later remarried, hoping for sons, but only weeks after the birth of Ptolemy XIV, the grand vizier delivered a letter to the queen from the king, divorcing her. The grand vizier made sure the former queen moved out of the palace at once, leaving the two youngest Ptolemies in the care of their nurses. I felt a little sad for her, but not much. My stepmother had a cruel mouth and no fondness for me or for any of my father's daughters. And so no queen now waits to embrace King Ptolemy, but Father will not be lonely. At least a dozen young women of the court are eager to welcome him.
I return to my quarters. My servants, Irisi and Monifa, are not there. Monifa, who has been caring for me since my birth, is like a mother to me. Irisi is younger, closer to my age, but not close enough to be a true friend. Taking advantage of their absence, I choose a coarse linen tunic from Irisi's chest and wrap one of her plain kerchiefs over my hair, fastening it with two of my own gold hairpins. With Monifa's market basket slung over my arm as if I were going to buy bread, I slip out of my rooms. I want to be at the harbor when the royal ships arrive.
The king will not make his formal entry into Alexandria in the heat of the day. He will have ordered his ships to lie some distance offshore until the sun god, Ra, hangs low in the western sky and word of the king's return has reached every quarter of the city and the excitement has had a chance to build. There is plenty of time.
But the grand vizier happens to see me and steps into my path. "Where are you going, Princess Cleopatra?" he asks.
"To watch for Father's ship."
Antiochus is tall and thin with a gleaming shaved head and ears that stick out like the handles on a wine jar. In the king's absence the grand vizier has done hardly anything but amuse himself with hunting and gambling. I know he disapproves of my frequent escapes away from the royal quarter and into the world of ordinary Egyptians, but he has never tried to stop me. I am sure he will cause me no trouble, for I am aware of a few facts about him that he would prefer to keep secret. For instance, I know that he regularly pilfers the royal storehouse to pay off his gambling debts. We have an unspoken bargain between us. Antiochus frowns and moves aside.
The palace guards ignore me as I walk boldly past them and make my way through the back streets, avoiding the broad avenues. I have been making these unapproved visits to the marketplace since Father left for Rome. No one takes any notice of a ten-year-old girl dressed in servant's clothes. If they knew my true identity, it would be otherwise. Princesses are not expected to roam the city alone, without a retinue of servants and bodyguards.
I can see that the royal fleet is still just a handful of dots on the horizon, well beyond the great Pharos lighthouse, which guides ships past the treacherous coast and into the harbor, but the whole city is already wide awake. Before the sun has climbed even halfway to the midpoint of the heavens, preparations are well under way for the king's arrival. Assistants to the grand vizier sit beneath an awning in the marketplace, giving orders. Workers carry rolls of thick carpet for the king to walk on. Others are draping a special platform with silks from the Orient, attaching torches to tall poles, and hoisting bright pennants that snap in the stiff breeze blowing steadily off the sea. Welcoming speeches will be delivered from that platform by Antiochus and the highest-ranking noblemen. The crowd will be eager to hear news of King Ptolemy's journey to Rome.
Before my father sailed for that faraway city more than a year ago, he had explained to me what he hoped to accomplish there.
"I am going for the sake of Egypt," he said. "Rome would like nothing better than to take over our country. They claim to have legal rights to it, and the Romans are formidable—they could do it easily. That would mean the end of Egypt as an independent country and the end of my kingship. There would be no more pharaohs ruling here, no more Ptolemies, only three Romans who hold all the authority—two generals and a public official. I spit on them! And yet I must fawn over them and pretend friendship. Those three men will determine what happens to Egypt, and I must convince them to support me as the rightful ruler of the land."
Father spoke to me that night as he always did, using the familiar form, as a father speaks to his children. He took it for granted I would understand, though I was just nine years old when he left and not clear on the details. Now I wonder if he has persuaded those three men—the triumvirate—to recognize that he is Egypt's true pharaoh.
It must have been obvious to everybody, not just my sisters, that I am my father's favorite. "You are his precious jewel," they say sourly, with curled lips. I do not disagree with them. They believe this not because he gives me costly gifts—he gives them such gifts too. They demand them! They believe it because I am the daughter he always chose to be by his side, who rode with him into the desert and sailed with him on Lake Mareotis, who accompanied him whenever he entertained visitors and cheered him when he was alone.
Monifa, who knows me as well as my father does, claims that he favors me because, of all his children, I am most like him. "You have his keen intelligence," she once told me, "and his ability to persuade, as well as his strength of purpose."
Her words fill me with pride, but I cannot resist pressing her to tell me more about my parents. "And my mother?" I ask. "Do I resemble her?"
"You do not look like her," Monifa says firmly. "Your sisters more closely resemble her in their features." Monifa no doubt sees the disappointment written on my face. "I see only your father in your eyes and the shape of your nose. But I do hear your mother in your voice. Her speech fell like music on his ears. It enchanted him and melted his heart. Yours does the same."
Her answers delight me. I am pleased, of course, by my special status, but the situation could mean trouble. I know that being the favorite could put me in danger.
Here is why: Tryphaena and Berenike are determined to be next in line to rule Egypt. They talk about it constantly, saying such things as "When we are on the throne" or "When Father is no longer king." They never come right out and say "When Auletes is dead," but I know my sisters, and I am uneasy about their intentions. They may see me as an obstacle blocking their path.
"Auletes" is an epithet meaning "Flute Player," a name bestowed on Father by his subjects, who did not intend it kindly. He prefers to be known as the New Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, the inspirer of ecstasy. Both names fit him well. He likes to play the aulos, a long, finely carved ivory flute, especially when he has drunk too much wine. Sometimes he dances in honor of Dionysus while he plays. He has been doing that for as long as I can remember. I love the music and dancing, but my older sisters are not amused. They call him Auletes behind his back, never to his face.
"He's a fool," says Berenike.
"A drunken idiot," Tryphaena adds.
I disagree, but I say nothing. Father is certainly neither a fool nor an idiot, but he is a man of many contradictions. I would rather think of his intelligence and his good humor and forgive his faults. His greatest weakness is his fondness for grand feasts, which sometimes causes him to neglect his duties as king.
It is my sisters who are fools. They are jealous not only of me but also of each other. Tryphaena assumes she will be the next queen and boasts about the luxuries she will enjoy—as though she is not already completely spoiled! Her name means "Ostentatious Pleasure Lover"—fitting, I think. Although she is the eldest, she is not the ablest or the most intelligent of my sisters. That would be Berenike, who is also sure that she is the one who will be queen. I will not be surprised if those two someday tear each other's eyes out in a jealous rage. It would be wise to gamble on Berenike. She has a ruthless streak that makes her more dangerous than Tryphaena.
I believe that someday I could become a great ruler of Egypt, better than my sisters can dream of being, but I must be careful not to let them know how I feel. I do not want them to see me as a rival for the throne and a threat to their plans. With Father away on a long journey, it would have been an easy matter for them to arrange my disappearance.
Now Father has returned. But is he safe, or are my sisters actually plotting against him? If they are, then my life, too, may be in peril.

Cleopatra Confesses
It is the first century B.C., an ancient time of everpresent drama and danger. Cleopatra, the third of the pharaoh's six children, is whom her father has chosen to be the next queen of Egypt. But when King Ptolemy is forced into exile, Cleopatra is left alone to fend for herself in a palace rife with intrigue and murder. Smart, courageous, ambitious, and sensuously beautiful, Cleopatra possesses the charm to cause two of history's most famous leaders to fall in love with her. But as her cruel sisters plot to steal the throne, Cleopatra realizes there is only one person on whom she can rely—herself.
The tale of her teenage years is a story of power and romance that stands the test of time—centuries later, Cleopatra remains a figure of mystery and intrigue. Now, award-winning author Carolyn Meyer mesmerizes readers with revelations in this novel about one of the greatest women who ever lived.

Brett Myers didn't care for Mariano Rivera getting the All-Star MVP
Jul 18, 2013, 10:30 AM EDT
There are few if any consensuses in baseball, but there's a pretty strong near-consensus that criticizing anything related to Mariano Rivera is bad form. People just don't want to hear that especially now, as he makes his final victory lap before he retires.
Someone didn't tell that to Brett Myers who Cleveland.com points out tweeted this the other night:
Appreciate Mariano Rivera for all he has done but, MVP???? No way! Mariano is a class act and respect him but the media rules who wins!
— Brett Myers (@TheOutlaw39) July 17, 2013
Not surprisingly, his Twitter replies were overwhelmingly negative, with a view Phillies folks thanking him for helping them win the 2008 World Series thrown in for variety.
Being honest: I think one could make a reasonable case — if one actually cared about such things, which I decidedly do not — that Rivera was not the best choice for the All-Star Game MVP. I just don't think that someone like Brett Myers will ever be listened to to make that case. And I don't think that case can really be made on Twitter.
- yournuts - Jul 18, 2013 at 4:07 PM
Who cares, this is an exhibition game. It's a popularity contest. It means NOTHING.
Brett Myers is a big league loser. He has 97 wins and 96 losses in the big leagues, with a lifetime 4.25 ERA. Rivera has a lifetime 2.20 ERA in 19 seasons including 638 saves.
Brett Myers couldn't pitch his way out of a paper bag. NEXT.
- addictedzone - Jul 18, 2013 at 5:11 PM
I think you could make a legitimate argument that 5 or 6 pitchers were the equal or better than Rivera in the game. But this one was a PR, give it to the guy retiring move which I'm fine with even though Fielder chugging into 3rd was the most memorable moment. The least memorable being Carlos Gomez misplaying Fielder's single into a triple.
- lazlosother - Jul 18, 2013 at 9:53 PM
Gotta agree with you. Mo's MVP was a lifetime achievement award, have no problem with that. Loved the Prince chugging into third. That guy moves well for a big man and watching him run the bases can be as fun as watching him hit.
- renducc - Jul 19, 2013 at 11:59 AM
Brett Myers could not even tie Mo's shoe laces. A nobody like Myers questioning anything about the greatest relief pitcher ever is pathetic. Who is Brett Myers anyway?

On my preference screen I have a preference that when clicked opens a color picker dialog. What I would like to do is when the user selects a color, that the text summary of the preference is displayed in that color.
I know I can have the summary set up like this,
Currently this color and have it display in that color. The problem is the color I am getting back is the android int color.
I could use the red(), green(), blue() methods and then convert those to Hex and then combine them into a string so I could set the summary text with the new value and that works:
String colorString = String.format("#%02x%02x%02x",Color.red( defaultColor ), Color.green( defaultColor ), Color.blue( defaultColor )); I was just curious if there is an easier way to do this.
Thanks ahead of time.
