From the PublisherI've read it cover to cover. One of my passions is reading a cookbook like a novel...sherishing every turn of the page. The photos, layout, graphics and of course the recipes are just yummy1
There are several pages for the Introduction. They explain how the book came into being and also pictures and stories and a brief history of the Amish and Mennonites. Who they are, what they believe some of their culture, etc.
The first section of Punches and Drinks will give you a useful recipe for dandelion's among others. Most all the drinks contain fresh fruit such as currants, grapes and even rhubarb.
Unique appetizers and a nice selection of soups and salads. You will want company just to try some of the out! You can find a recipe to make your own mustard and a variety of dressings.
Under the Main Dishes and Casseroles you will find Piggy Casserole it is easy to make and fun to say. Impress your family by serving Imam Bayildi, sounds like something very exotic when it is really stuffed eggplant.
The next section brings you to European Dishes where you can use a fancy name for a coffee cake and then we move onto Traditional Classics that explains some of their get together s and the recipes for large groups. Included in this group is Dandelion Wine.
Side Dishes and Vegetables includes a recipe for Super Duper Potatoes. With a name like that you just have to try them. The Breads section has a recipe for Kringel and a really easy recipe for Quick Water Bread. To loosen things up around the house make sure you try out the Berliner Pfannkuchen no one has to know they are prune-filled doughnuts.
The next section tells you how to make cheese even cream cheese. If only I had a cow or a garden as the next section is Pickles, Relishes and Sauces. This section gives you the recipe for ketchup to go with that homemade mustard earlier in the book. Jams, Jellies and Fruit Butters come next. Perfect recipes to go with the bread you made earlier Tomato Marmalade sounds daring or since you been picking dandelion's for the wine and punch keep a few aside and make the Turtle Brand Dandelion Jelly. Good food while getting the weeds out of the yard.
Now for some Desserts and Sweets. Between Fudge to Cracker Jack your bound to find a favorite or two before heading to the Short breads and Blueberry or Elderberry Pie. Maybe some Grasshopper Pie and a Black Forest Torte to go with the Dandelion Punch you could get a theme going for a party from this book. The Christmas Cake looks similar to the beloved fruit cake. Delicious puddings are in this section as well.
Now we have arrived at Grandma's Remedies. I know my grandma could always fix anything. From Poultices to Hair Tonic there is bound to be a remedy to what ails you. The last chapter gives a few recipes on how to make your own soap.
There are 627 recipes in this book and many are simple to make.
Cute cookbook that gives the reader a glimpse into the Amish and Mennonite worlds. This book is packed with trusted and traditional recipes. Casseroles, stews, soups, mains, salads, beverages it's all in here. If you don't already have a basic go to cook book this could be a good choice for you.
Grade: A
This is the third edition of this favorite cookbook. In this one, there are old, comfortable recipes such as Faschtnachts, Chicken Corn Soup, and Whoopie Pies as well as many new ones. In addition to the great food recipes, there are also sections on making your own soap, tonics, and liniments. The chapter on desserts alone makes this a definite must for all kitchens.
One thing about these recipes, they are the stick-to-your-ribs kind of cooking that is rarely seen in cookbooks any more, unless you're Paula Deen. They use butter and lard and salt and eggs and more. If you are watching carbs, fats, sodium, or have other dietary restrictions, read the book just for the drool factor. The stories behind some of the recipes are interesting and the pictures are nice. But this is not diet food. It is substantial food that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you groaning with pleasure. I will note, though, that I was surprised at the number of recipes that rely on canned soups or other store-bought items for their sauce bases. Grandma would never have opened a can of "cream of mushroom" soup or dropped in a bouillon cube. I was also disappointed that the chicken corn soup relied on purchased noodles instead of "rivels" - a must in Pennsylvania Dutch cooking.
That being said, I love reading this book and remembering some of the recipes my grandma and mother made. I still use a lot of the recipes today, though adapted to our more streamlined living style. I love reading recipes for a family of four or six, then suddenly coming across one for fifty. Those are just fun. Yes, they can be cut down for smaller portions, but it's just so startling and fun to see: 25 pound sack of flour, 50 onions, and so on.
This is a definite buy on my shelf and a recommendation to anyone with any interest in plain, old-fashioned farm cooking, or who just wants to donate to a good cause. Pick up a copy, read it, and be prepared to drool.
A superb combination of very old recipes from centuries past.. delightfully merged with recipes from local Mennonite and Amish communities of today!
I've learned so much about the history of the Mennonites and Amish! This is not just a cookbook.. this is a book written with love of family and food!

Some of the recipes are written in the old style.. where you may have to decipher and use common sense to figure out how to make certain foods. Others are more up to date and tell you how many servings and measurements. As someone who enjoys reading historical cookbooks.. I felt this book was a merged copy of favorite family recipes from the seventeenth century down through the ages to our modern world!

About the Author
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) works alongside local churches and communities in more than 50 countries, including Canada and the United States, to carry out disaster relief, sustainable community development and justice and peace-building work in the name of Christ. MCC also seeks to build bridges to connect people and ideas across cultural, political and economic divides.
My Review
This is an amazing recipe collection put together by the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). The MCC is an amazing organization and I hope this fabulous cookbook is an excellent fundraiser for them.
The cookbook starts off with the history of Anabaptists such as the Amish and Mennonites in North America. It is illustrated with gorgeous photographs. Mennonite bakers are unsurpassed so it is a delight to find all the recipes in one spot. Excellent recipes for pickles and relishes. An excellent addition to anyone's cookbook collection!
I love good old-fashioned comfort food so when I saw this cookbook I knew I had to check it out. The first thing that struck me about it was how many recipes their were in it, 600 to be exact that cover every type of food you could want to make. Some of the sections in the book are appetizers, main dishes and casseroles, European dishes, breads, and desserts. The section I found the most recipes that I would like to try was the bread section. I love to bake bread and their are some great recipes to try in this book.
The one thing that I found disappointing was that a lot of the recipes relied on canned soups in the ingredients. When I think of Amish cooking I think of food that is made from scratch with homemade sauces and soups, not canned ones. I also saw a few that called for Velveeta cheese and that just doesn't sound homemade Amish to me.
I would have to give this book 4 out of 5 stars, there are a lot of good recipes that remind of food my grandmother made and they brought back good memories. Not all of the recipes were what I was hoping for, but still a worthwhile cookbook to have.
With 627 recipes, you really can't go wrong with this cookbook. The Introduction is written by Carol Roth Giagnocava and the Forward is by Alan Giagnocavo in which they introduce the Amish and Mennonite cookbooks and the impact the funds have for the Mennonite Central Committee Relief efforts. There is also a brief history of the Amish and Mennonites.
All of the categories that most cookbooks have such as Appetizers, Soups, Main Dishes, etc. are here, but there are also additional recipes for European Dishes, Traditional Classics, Cheese-making, Jams, Grandma's Remedies, and Soap Making.
The recipes included are good, hearty, home-cooking comfort food. There are also lovely rural countryside photographs to enjoy.
I've contributed to and helped publish church cookbooks over the years. Those books usually contains favorite recipes from the congregation's best cooks. Well, here's one that is the mother, no make that grandmother, of all church cookbooks.
Over six hundred recipes from the best cooks among Amish and Mennonite congregations is an amazing set of recipes. Because many of the church's members raise their own food, the recipes reflect that background. There are the standard chapters like main dishes, side dishes, breads and desserts. But there are also chapters on cheesemaking, pickling, jams, fruit butters and even soap making.
There are two chapters I think are unique. One is "Traditional Classics" and the other is "Grandma's Remedies."
In "Traditional Classics" the chapter starts with the social events that are standard within the community: Weddings, Funerals, Quilting Bees, Barn Raisings, and Threshings. What made it fun for me was to see what was on the menu at these events and the enormous quantity of food that was prepared. Keep in mind they do not call in professional caterers. This is do-it-yourself with help from friends and family. Here's an example from a typical Barn Raising for 250 men:
24 loaves of bread; 5 pounds butter; 21 crocks potatoes, boiled and riced; 4 large roasters of gravy beef; 8 crocks carrots, boiled and buttered; 3 crocks carrot and cucumber pickles; 45 large jars applesauce; 12 crocks sweet apple schnitz and prunes; 350 Amish doughnuts; 5 gallons maple syrup; and 45 lemon drop pies.
There is usually enough left over to feed all of the women and children, usually numbering anywhere from, 50 to 90.
In "Grandma's Remedies" there are recipes for a bread and milk poultice, lots of uses for honey, vinegar, and teas, hair tonic, liniment, mustard plaster and so forth. Here's an interesting one:
Lily Whiskey
Fill a jar with the petals of the Madonna Lily. Get a bottle of good quality whiskey. Fill the jar so the petals are all covered. As they settle down, add more whiskey. This is especially good for burns and sores.
Scattered throughout the book are quotes about food and sometimes life in general. For example,
"Courage is fear that has said it's prayers."
I know I've said it before but my favorite cookbooks are those that read like a good novel. Treasured Amish and Mennonite Recipes makes for great reading. I've been on a roll lately reading about the Amish and this was a very nice fit. I'll recommend this book to foodies who love the old-fashioned recipes from an area of the world devoted to the simple life.
This is a GREAT cookbook! Coming from Pennsylvania Dutch region in PA...there's lots of good "down-home" recipes that I would love to try (and some very familiar ones for my favorites, too!)
Along with having LOTS of GREAT recipes...the book also has little helpful tidbits as well as really cute one-line sayings mixed in. I loved that aspect of the cookbook!!
But...you're probably wondering what some of the oh-so-yummy recipes are...so here's a sampling of some of my favorites:
Deviled eggs
Ham balls
Cinnamon rolls
Funnel cakes
Soft pretzels
Cheesy scalloped potatoes
Baked corn
Fastnachts (doughnuts)
Macaroni salad
Lebanon bologna
Shoofly pie
...and many more!
I would highly recommend this cookbook!!
I was really looking forward to digging into this cookbook and experimenting with some of the 600 or so recipes this book has. It has some pretty unique recipes from pies, cakes, casseroles to meatloaf and pot pies. I had fun going through and picking out what I was going to make for dinner that evening!
The recipes were easy to follow and even the most beginner of cooks could handle them. The only downside was no photos for each recipe. I always love to see what the finished product 'could' look like once it was ready to eat.
My only other complaint about this book was the use of canned soups in the recipes. Not something I expected to see, but I might have to give them a try anyways - just to see what they are like.
I tried several of the recipes from this cookbook - I picked some fairly simple and quick ones and I was happy (and so was my hubby) with how they turned out. Each one had it's own pros and cons and I've added a few of them to my own rotation of meals.
This is definitely a cookbook I'd love to add to my collection and would recommend this to almost anyone who is looking for something new and fun to try.
I am struggling to find words to do justice to Treasured Amish & Mennonite Recipes .
This new paperback was published in October 2011, and as its subtitle says, it contains "627 Delicious, Down-to-Earth Recipes from Authentic Country Kitchens".
What the subtitle doesn't tell you is that it is full of delightful colour photographs of Amish and Mennonite areas, buggies and the occasional shots of people, and that the subject divider pages are illustrated with quilt square piece illustrations, which makes flicking to each chapter a delight in itself.
This lovely book is incredibly comprehensive, cramming 627 recipes into its 336 pages and ranging from traditional Amish foods to more modern dishes such as Vietnamese Spring Rolls, covering hearty and filling casseroles, using dandelions to make drinks, cheesemaking, breadmaking, making your own pickles, jams and preserves, soap- making and a special chapter on traditional remedies. There are some wonderful pot-luck sized recipes too, most notably one for 20 gallons of Borscht which starts off with 50lbs of meat and bones ! The purist might balk at things such as using tinned soups and processed cheese as convenient bases for some recipes, but the most are cooked "from scratch".
I loved reviewing the time-limited ebook from the publisher so much that I have bought my very own paperback copy from Amazon.co.uk.....
This book begins with an explanation of the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and how this book came to be. There is also a brief history of the Amish and Mennonites.
This cookbook contains 627 recipes. The recipes are organized by category, such as, Main dishes and Casseroles, Traditional Classics, and Desserts and Sweets. There are even chapters titled Grandma's Remedies and Soap Making. The recipes are simple. All the items needed for them would be in your pantry or found easily at the grocery store. There are no complicated instructions, they are short and sweet.
There are pictures, sayings, and tips scattered throughout the chapters. The pages have a burgundy plaid checkered border at the top.
The beginning of the book with the history of the MCC and of the Amish and the Mennonites is very interesting. I'm sure many people have not heard of the MCC, including myself, until I read A Stranger's Gift by Anna Schmidt recently. The photographs in this book are wonderful. You won't be wanting for a recipe in this book with it's 600+ recipes to choose from. The design of the book would be appealing to those who lean toward the quaint country decorating style. A person who collects cookbooks would enjoy this as a gift. I did my review reading an e-book. I liked the book so much, I'm got the printed version of the book because I collect cookbooks. If you like cook simple but delicious food this cookbook is for you
"It's no secret that delicious food comes out of the Amish-Mennonite tradition. This cookbook has it all--classics like Gravy Beef and Whoopie Pies, fun ones like Cherry Moos and Piggy Casserole, and recipes from the Old Country--Fleisch Piroschky (meat buns) and Dutch Potato Soup. The recipes are easy-to-follow, not overwhelming for young or nervous cooks, laced with helpful hints and fascinating trivia and Penn-Dutch sayings. An authentic collection of delightful treats that will be a staple in your kitchen."

They're one of the most adorable couples in Tinseltown, and Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are about to turn their duo into a trio.
The "Incredible Burt Wonderstone" actress took to her Twitter account to respond to the outpouring of well wishes from her fans.
Getting the honor of ending the event, the cast of "Her" attended the Closing Night Gala Presentation of their movie at the New York Film Festival on Saturday (October 12).
Flashing some cleavage for photos was Amy Adams, who wore a pretty lavender dress while Olivia Wilde chose a white blouse and khaki-colored flowing trousers.
Rounding out their weekend with a trip to the movies, Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis showed up at the ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood on Sunday evening (October 6).

Enjoying some midweek time off, Olivia Wilde stopped by a friend's house in Pasadena, California on Wednesday (October 2).
The "Drinking Buddies" star was ultra casual in a blue sweater, ripped jeans, and sans make-up as she stepped out into the sunshine.
They're always on the go it seems, and Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis showed up at JFK International Airport on Monday (September 30).
The "We're the Millers" hunk and his "Incredible Burt Wonderstone" babe seemed to be in good spirits as they hopped off their plane and headed through the terminal upon their return to New York City.
Trying to make it on time for a lunch meeting in downtown New York today (September 29), "Tron Legacy" actress Olivia Wilde hailed a cab in order to speed her on her way.
The 29-year-old dressed informally in a dark gray tee, skinny jeans, brown high tops, and a gray handbag, complete with a pair of red-stemmed shades.
Stepping out for some media fun, Olivia Wilde showed up at "The View" studios in New York City on Thursday morning (September 26).

Variety describes the movie as a "mature and mysterious relationship study." It focuses on three couples in three interlocking stories that are set in Paris, Rome And New York.

Texan By Birth & Choice
I personally like the hip/butt cheek pocket that comfortably accommodates my IWB holster when carrying my Glock30.....sitting at roughly 4:00. It pretty much disappears in that pocket
Thought I"d add this interesting 45ACP. It's a Smith Model 25-2. It's set up like a Jovino Effector but has no Effector roll mark so I can't say 100% that it is. But I have held others that where verified adn they are exactly the same. I really need ot get off my lazy rear and get a letter on it to see where it went first. I got it at a fantastic price in a trade years ago so even if it wasn't then it's all god. The only people I read about that did this in the 25-2 was John Jovino and Lew Horton but Horton's are a square butt. Being a N frame it has zero recoil. It's trigger in DA is the most light and smooth I have ever fired. I've recently added some wood grips and need to upload some new pics. I'll get to that soon I hope
..anyway...Check this...

FAIL Blog takes no responsibility for those that rock out too hard.
We've got big big changes that we're finally ready to commit to at Cheezburger! Read more about them here!
It's always a bad idea when a metal band messes with Prague rock. Yesterday, Czech authorities arrested Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe and charged him with manslaughter shortly before the band's scheduled show at the Prague Hard Rock Cafe.
The charges refer to an incident from a 2010 show at the Club Aberton in Prague, when a fan bum-rushed the stage and sustained injuries to his head after a fight with Blythe. Who started the fight? Was the fan just trying to give Blythe a hug? Has Blythe entered into an unholy covenant with Satan contingent on sacrificing a fan every two years? Details are still forthcoming.
Update: The band's publicist is saying that the fan in question tried to rush the stage twice before security pulled him back. The third time, Blythe pushed him back into the audience, where he hit his head (thanks, Darkst!)

Naval Academy Service Selection
By jjames
Last Wednesday, the 1/C midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy found out the community that they will become a part of after graduation. The 1/C entered the company wardroom, and one-by-one, nervously opened up the intimidating manila envelope detailing whether they would report to a ship, sub, flight school, The Basic School, or BUD/s after graduation. Waiting out the wardroom, we underclass could here cheers coming from the other side of the door- obviously a good sign. "Tradition" has it that each 1/C going Marine Corps gets his head shaved by the Plebes, and each 1/C going SEALs or EOD gets his head and eyebrows shaved. My company had six midshipmen go Marines, four go SEALs, and one go EOD; the Plebes had their work cut out for them.
The process for service assignments has changed in recent years. In the past, each community would have a set number of slots. The 1/C ranked in the top 100 of their class would pick first, then the next 100, and so on, until the anchorman picked. This process left little choice for those in the bottom quarter. Now, senior officers help midshipmen find the best match for them. For example, a higher ranked midshipman enters aviation as their first choice and surface warfare as their second. This midshipman would be okay with either aviation or surface warfare. A lower ranked midshipman enters the same choices, but has always wanted to be a naval aviator. The selection board would attempt to sway the higher ranked midshipman towards the surface community. Rankings still matter, but the new process does a better job at factoring in preferences. From an economic perspective, this maximizes utility for the entire class of 2011.
In my company, every midshipman was satisfied with their assignments. As the 1/C filed out from the company wardroom, I realized something… I only had one more year.

Guestbook comments from the manager
We had a great time staying in this home. The house is located toward the end of the street...very quiet! It was close to the beach (an easy walk or you can drive and park at the end of the road),the pool was wonderful on the days we didn't want to drag everyone to the beach, and the neighbors were very friendly. We would definitely come back and would love this house again. The bedrooms were very nice...the King bedroom upstairs especially comfortable! The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of dishes for our whole crew. Thank you for a wonderful time...we loved your home!

Small calendar with days linking to wiki pages
The "sister" macro WikiTicketCalendarMacro, once forked of from this macro, has been re-integrated. Both macros are available in wikicalendar-2.0.0 and later.
Inserts a small calendar where each day links to a wiki page whose name matches the wiki-page-format argument. The current day is highlighted, and days with Milestones are marked in bold. This macro makes heavy use of CSS for formatting.
It can be used for maintaining a calendar of meeting minutes or any situation where the wiki page name is based on the date. It is designed to work well with the Blog macro, so if a previous month is selected from the Blog, the calendar will display the selected month.
Non-existent pages link directly to the edit form for the requested page to make it easy to add new meeting minutes pages. It uses the time format syntax from the Python time module's strftime method. Resolution of relative wiki paths is available.
Check the documentation for WikiTicketCalendarMacro to learn about it's option to preselect a wiki page template for new pages and much more.

Help with Drywall Texture!
We are almost ready to drywall and my builder has been asking what type of texture do we want. I'm not sure which one to choose. The more popular texture in our area (Florida) is KnockDown, but a lot of our friends, their houses has OrangePeel. My builder is suggesting a light knockdown texture finish. What do you all suggest? And, if you have pictures of your walls, please provide? Thanks a heap!
If your only choice is a sprayed on texture, I agree with your builder on a light knockdown. Orange peel, (called splatter out here), looks just that...splatter'd. A hand troweled texture such as skip troweling or old world finish is going to cost more than a sprayed on texture assuming you have finishers out there that can hand texture drywall. There are many options out there if you have experienced finishers in your area. Here's an example. Search engine drywall textures for more sites.
Here is a link that might be useful: texture pics
We just went through this the other week. The sheetrock guy recommended orange peel but our builder suggested a medium to heavy knockdown pattern. Our sheetrock guy actually blew a few different patterns on the wall in the garage for me to look at and choose between. You may want to see if that's an option so you can see it in person before they texture your whole house.. We went with the medium and it's lovely!
Thanks everyone for all the helpful information. My builder is sending me to a place that have all the textured wall in the store to help me decide. DH doesn't care anyway or the other.
Sierraeast: Thanks, the link is helpful
Eyegirlie: I may just do what you suggested, thanks
My first choice would be smooth, but it will show every nick/ding and with a toddler it just isn't practical in our house.
I'd recommend a light orange peel - it gets the look of smooth drywall from a distance, but is much more forgiving with damage. It is also easier to match up if you need to do repairs than a knock down pattern.
We have knock-down on the ceilings, but I really wish we had a light orange peel there too as I decided to move a light and it is much harder to patch that hole and make the texture look seamless and unpatched than it would have if it was orange peel.
Wall texture is a regional tradition issue. In parts of the Northeast a very hard smooth plaster veneer finish (commonly known as blueboard) is used and it is generally cheaper than taped drywall and is hard to damage, easy to patch and paint lasts longer on it.
Most builders here do textured because it's easier to do a sloppy drywall job and get away with it. It is MUCH more difficult to patch a textured wall and have it not shout PATCH than it is to do the same with a smooth wall. Textured also hold on to dust and dirt far worse than a smooth wall and is more difficult to scrub and have it look clean. It also takes more paint to cover. All in all, a smooth ceiling and wall is easier to maintain long term than is textured. It's a more classic look, while the varying styles of textures go in and out of fashion. And, it just looks BETTER, IMHO.
I would definitely use smooth . . . maybe more dings but easy to touch up yourself with a little patching compound and a q-tip. I can't imagine how you would touch up a textured wall? I have 3 boys and I have a tub of patch compound and my hallway paint color in the kitchen cabinet for touch ups ;)
We are in the South, though, where smooth textured walls are the norm. . . not sure how it is in other parts of the country.
I thought I'd link my new message to this old thread to see if popular opinion has changed in the last year or so! We are at the point of deciding on texture (we want texture and not smooth) and my husband doesn't care for the "new" thing around here of hand-trowelled "old plaster" look. He thinks it looks as if someone has not done a good job of finishing the wall and thinks it will be difficult to clean. He really likes orange peel, but I have lived in homes for the last 37 years with orange peel and would like something different. He also likes a popcorn ceiling, but I believe I have him talked out of that! :) Are any of you willing to share some pictures of orange peel texture in your home that you like? Or another type of texture that is different from that mentioned above? I am afraid the orange peel texture will date my house before it is even done...or am I wrong? I am willing to be swayed!
It's really so regional. Up here in the far Northeast, textured drywall = cheap builder's grade, and a smooth wall finish is vastly preferred. If you have the choice, around here the smooth would be a bonus at selling time; it's quite expensive to smooth out textured/sprayed walls.
But I know that in the West a stucco type of wall is often preferred, so again it's a really regional thing.
I'd recommend smooth at least for the kitchen and bathrooms, where I can't imagine having to wipe down walls with some kind of bumpy texture that grabs all the dust, grease etc.
Go for something as subtle as possible, if you must do texture?
Smooth is always better from a touchup and painting aspect. Textured is considered to be a builder's grade technique here. It allows a builder to use unskilled labor to apply the drywall and then the poor workmanship can be hidden under the texture. The only skilled labor he has to pay for is the guy with the gun and taping knife.
Don't confuse a plastered wall with a textured one. Skim coating blueboard with plaster leaves a perfectly smooth finish and is about as close as you can get to the old lathe and horsehair plaster of old. There just aren't very many craftsmen outside of the Bostom region who are even familiar with the process, let alone have the skill to do it.
There's also Venetian plaster, which if it's a true plastered finish and not a faux finish, contains marble dust in it, and is burnished to a subtle gloss. It's not "textured" either. It's a very labor intensive upscale finish that is also hard to find applicators to do.
This is so interesting learning about regional differences regarding building techniques and supplies! I live in the SE...and texture on the ceilings is considered dated and/or builder grade (MANY people attempt DIY removal of popcorn ceilings that had been installed in older homes...often the process is a hot mess and they turn to the pros to complete!) It is a negative around here, for sure. I have never seen textured walls in custom homes here, but I have seen real plaster and it *is* gorgeous! Would love to have it in my house!
Our builder recommended Old World as a more economical alternative to a perfect smooth finish. In their homes that we walked through, we could honestly not tell that the Old World wasn't perfectly smooth unless we got up really close (It depends on your level of OCD. For me, anything that doesn't look smooth would bug me.
Thanks for the input everybody! I think you hit the nail on the head, Caben, with the levels of OCD...ha! I don't notice texture in 99% of the places I go into, and all of a sudden it is the most important decision ever! :) We are probably going to go with a light "Santa Fe" texture. Our drywaller did a sample and it is the one we both agreed on.

5.1 Using Flash
Even the largest professional flash can not light up an entire stadium, so there is always a limit. I find in total darkness, after a few meters, built in flashes often leave a very noisy, and still way too dark of a picture as a result. So flashes are never really a good substitute for enough light. In a sense they just add light to a photo, but it is always best when the flash is not the only source of light. It does let you see some things but properly used a flash can do so much more.
One of the most important things it can do is eliminate or at least reduce the shadows in a photo. An easy example to understand is if you think of a photo with a picture of a person with their back to the bright sun. This causes the top or side of their head to be brightly lit. Without a fill flash, you can expect a very dark shadow on the subjects face, which is probably what you are trying to photograph in the first place.
By setting your flash to always be ON (Often there is a setting for ON, Auto, and OFF in the menu somewhere) even on the brightest day, it will will soften your shadows and can greatly improve your results. Try it sometime. Not all cameras calculate exposure the same way, so it may not even work for you, but many will be very happy with the results.
For a good explanation of flashes, you can read these.
One of the best flash information web sites available anywhere is Strobist run by David Hobby. Absolutely essential reading. Strobist
Also read the flick discussion group for Stobists on flickr here: »www.flickr.com/groups/strobist/
A flash guru with experience and knowledge who provides free step by step advice on using flash is Chuck Gardner. His web site is an important place if you have the need to learn flash photography. His site is here: »super.nova.org/DPR/
This is specifically for the EOS cameras from canon, but everyone will get information they can use, often the author points out the differences, otherwise your manual will help to explain how your camera does the same or similar things.

1) Synch speed
2) Aperture value
3) Shutter speed (one of the smaller components)
Synch speed is the fastest shutter speed at which your camera can use a flash. For some cameras it's 1/250sec, for others it's 1/60th. The most common shutter speed for flash is 1/60th as that's the slowest speed one can generally handhold a camera without noticible blur in photographs. Synch speed for your particular camera may vary, so for that you'd have to look it up in the manual. So, what does synch speed do? If your camera has a mechanical shutter that's a focal plane traverse shutter (leaf shutters on medium format (MF) cameras don't really have a synch speed, but they may have differenct "synch" settings, and on MF cameras it is usually called X synch). What happens is the shutter opens, then the rear curtain closes. If the rear curtain closes too fast, you'll have a nice,perfectly black area on your photo. Most modern cameras won't let you exceed the synch speed and older cameras have the synch speed marked in red on the shutter speed dial. Higher synch speeds (1/200th or higher) are usually only found on higher end cameras, namely dSLRs. Some of the nicer dSLRs have up to 1/500sec synch speeds. This is useul if you're trying to catch action with a strobe and need a fast shutter speed (and a flash).
Aperture controls how much light reaches the film or the digital sensor. For flash exposure, aperture is the primary exposure control. Close the aperture (larger f/ number) for less flash exposure, open it (smaller f/ number) for more flash exposure. Changing the shutter speed in the range of its maximum synch speed and about 1/50sec won't do anything to your exposure when using a flash. This is beacuse your flash will always fire within that shutter speed. See below for more.
Flash really doesn't care about shutter speed apart from the synch speed, however, you can shoot slower than the synch speed without problem. Why would you want to do that? If you wanted to balance flash light with ambient light, for example. You slow down the shutter speed until you get a good mix of flash with ambient, and by doing so you will have a more natural looking flash exposure. Another shutter aspect is something called "high speed synch". Not all cameras have this feature and what it does is it allows you to use shutter speeds faster than the synch speed. The flash fires a rapid series of bursts rather than just one for the length of the shutter opening. High speed synch provides a wider degree of flexibility with your flash.
What is flash exposure compensation (FEC)?
Flash compensation is simply the adjustment of the intensity of the flash burst. Flash compensation is used when your flash is putting out too little or too much light. Many sub-dSLR cameras do not offer this option. Say you are shooting a group of people in black suits. Your flash fires and it turns out that your photograph is too dark. You didn't get enough light coming from the flash. You can dial the FEC (usually located on a flash unit if external, and sometimes controllable from on the body of the camera, depending on the model) up from the "0" setting, usually up to 2 or 3 stops higher (or lower) than the "0" value.
While it may seem counter intuitive, if you decrease the flash compensation the effective range of the flash increases and if you increase flash compensation the effective range decreases. Why? Let's say your flash has a range of 100', if you increase the flash compensation, 100' would still be exposed correctly, but you requested the flash to overexpose, so the usable range is reduced to the longest distance one can get the correct "over" exposure. Conversely, if you reduce the flash compensation that same 100' distance be easily underexposed and thus the range for the correct "under" exposure is extended. Obviously, aperture size affects the flash range, regardless of the level of flash compensation being used.

Chapter 22
"Taylor must have pushed that sniper off the roof," John stated, as he craned his head to look out the wide window. "That's one less gun to worry about."
"How many more are out there?" I asked.
"Dunno, we got their leader and four guards lying in the back room. I only saw those, but judgin' from the noise of the gun shots, there are at least three more out there with weapons."
"So what are we goin' to do? Wait until Taylor does whatever he comes up with?" Ethan blurted out.
I noticed he was not able to sit still, unlike my frozen reaction to everything. Ethan was moving restlessly from foot to foot and running his hand through his hair over and over again. John was wiggling his fingers as his mind moved to come up with a plan. I remained still like a statue. Ironically, I looked like the calm one but inside I was beyond panic. My mind had started to block the freaking out part, probably due to some inherent survival instinct. The thoughts in my head finally melded into one. We needed to get out of here, and fast.
"I don't think we will have to wait too long." I pointed to the truck that was now reversing.
Shots were fired towards the receding truck from the others that appeared out front. I watched an infected, which had managed to get in, tackle one guy that was too focused on shooting at the truck to see it in time. They fell to the ground in a tangled mass of limbs. The man screamed in agony as the infected tore at his neck with its bare teeth. Blood squirted from the wound and his screams turned to whimpers and then stopped abruptly. The infected continued to tear into the corpse, chewing and ripping at his flesh.
"Move back! He's going to ram it!" A voice bellowed from the front and the remaining men tried to run to the police station doors.
Seeing they were heading this way, we ran over to the doors to hold them closed. John flipped the deadbolt right as they crashed into the doors, which shook from the impact.
"What the hell?" Someone bellowed from the other side.
"Shoot the lock!"
In less time than it took to breathe, John grabbed my shoulder and dove to the side with me in tow. I hit the ground hard as bullets whizzed past us. The breath was ripped from my lungs, but I managed to crawl over further from the barrage of shots. Ethan was on the other side of the doors clutching his arm, blood was leaking down his shirt.
"You ok?" I yelled once I had air in my lungs again.
"Just grazed me."
"It's not working!" The shooters from the other side yelled, when they tried to kick in the door again.
I imagine the front doors to a police station were purposely made to withstand a certain amount of damage, but it wouldn't hold for much longer.
"The ladder out back!" A muffled voice responded and I could hear the footsteps go around the building.
John braved a look out the window, "Ho-ly shit! He's really goin' to ram it, get down!"
I heard the roar of the engine and then the loud clang of Taylor running into the chain-link fence. Something hit the building with substantial impact and the window shattered. Glass rained down all around us and I covered my head, diving underneath the nearest desk. I had once broken a vanity mirror years ago, but it was nothing compared to the size of this.
Once the shards lay still, I moved out from under the desk. The glass crunched under my shoes as I walked over to John, who was crouched right under the window and was currently shaking the glass off of him. Ethan didn't appear to be touched by the shards as he flipped the deadbolt on the front doors with his left hand, his right arm still out of commission. The gate lay in a crumpled heap just outside the set of doors and the truck was half in and half out of the fence. Taylor was behind the wheel signaling for us to get in.
We climbed over the massive gate and ran to the truck. Infected were rattling the fence with renewed vigor and it was beginning to collapse inwards, starting from the edges where Taylor had punctured a hole in it. John shot at the few that had managed to sneak in by the truck. Ethan passed me his gun, knowing he couldn't shoot while injured.
I gulped. Spending a bit more time on aiming than I should have, I started to shoot at the things that were invading the police station, like ants to a picnic. One down, two down, three down. I had taken out three in as many bullets but more were lining up to take their place. We had a small window before the make-shift opening would be overrun.
"We have to go now!" I yelled.
I started towards the truck, shooting at the ones coming up behind it. One tried to squeeze in the opening by the passenger side, so I switched to the knife John had handed me earlier and stuck it into the things left eye socket. It slumped forward, taking the knife with it. I pulled open the passenger door and jumped in, shuffling to the back seat. Ethan followed me in and maneuvered to the back while John came in last, slamming the door behind him.
Taylor hit reverse and floored it. We were catapulted against the front seats and Ethan groaned in pain as his injured right arm was smashed against the seat. Shots were fired from the roof and we ducked to avoid any bullets. The windshield cracked and fissured where the bullets had hit, but Taylor turned the wheel and hit drive, leaving the bullets behind us. We roared off to the side, running down mass amounts of infected. I don't know how much more the truck could take; the grill was becoming a lumpy mess.
Bodies were flying everywhere and one lifted over the grill and smashed into the windshield, shattering the glass, making it almost impossible to see out of. Taylor veered to the left and the body rolled off of the hood.
The back seat was crammed with supplies. It looked like they hadn't got a chance to strip the truck clean. The bag of clothes I had tossed in last night were lying at my feet, reminding me that my backpack was sitting in the van. There went my other gun. I looked down at the piece we had swiped; it was a generic handgun, nowhere near as nice as my Beretta's. But our lost supplies were the least of our concern. We had to get back to the cabin alive.
Once we were clear of the thickest part of the crowd, Taylor slowed down his reckless driving and become a little more defensive. We reached the main street, which previously was empty, now as busy as it would have been before the virus. Infected were shambling across the street, drawn in by the truck alarm. At least, I assumed that's what brought them out. We passed by the cremated remains in the empty lot and then back out to the interstate.
As soon as we hit the main drag Taylor applied the brakes. The truck stood still in the middle of the three lanes, the engine still running.
"Why'd ya stop?" John asked.
Instead of answering, Taylor opened the driver side door and got out. Ethan and I exchanged confused glances. John opened his own door to see what had gotten into Taylor. Not wanting to be left out, I vacated the truck with Ethan in tow. For some reason he followed me out my side instead of opening his own door.
"What is it son?" John asked, concern lacing his voice.
We all stared in horror as Taylor rolled up his left sleeve to reveal a bloody set of teeth marks and some skin missing. John stood frozen in place, the shock too much for him. I heard Ethan swallow loudly beside me.
"I'm gunna turn aren't I?" Taylor asked in a low voice.
It was one thing to be dying; it was another thing all together to be a dead man walking. The irony was not lost on me. I had only witnessed a handful of people turn once infected, but I knew he didn't have long. The ones that turned fastest were the ones who had died while they were attacked, like in the school. The one's that didn't die during the attack turned a little while later, like Mike had.
A tear slipped down John's cheek and I found my own eyes starting to cloud up with salty tears. None of us knew what to do. We had just left the supermarket this morning only to be taken hostage and here we were with more bad luck thrown our way. Only this time death was so much closer.
I turned back to the vehicle in a blur and started rummaging through the pharmacy supplies that were buried underneath the other items in the back of the truck bed. I ran back to Taylor with disinfectant and gauze; my own personal savior.
"That won't do any good," Taylor deadpanned.
"Give me your arm," I demanded, ignoring his words. "What happened?"
"Well first I shoved the sniper off the roof; he hadn't seen me comin' up behind him. Then I jumped off the roof, outside the fence and when I ran to the truck, there was already some of the infected around it. I pulled one off by the collar, but it twisted around on and bit me before I could raise my knife."
He stopped his tale and held out his injured arm for me, so I got to work. Taylor hissed at the stinging disinfectant spray as it bubbled on the wound's surface. John was hovering, still eerily silent. The bite looked beyond painful. It was an angry shade of red and purple; it almost looked like it was pulsing. I wrapped the gauze firmly around his arm, but the blood was soaking through at an alarming rate. Maybe that's why people died so fast when attacked, the wound didn't clot.
"Leave me here."
"Never." John sounded angry.
"You might not turn, Taylor," I admitted.
He gave a humourless laugh, "And what are ya basin' that off of?"
I handed my supplies to Ethan and he took them with his left hand. They all looked at me warily as I began to lift my shirt; Taylor gave me an incredulous look, like he was worried I was about to strip. The nail marks on my skin had healed but they left one hell of a scar, they looked like someone had dragged a hot poker across my skin. They were raised and red.
"That's from an infected?" Taylor asked, life coming into his voice once again.
"Back when everything first broke out. I was at the hotel and an infected woman chased me down and scratched me. Zoe and I had gone to the hospital after but it was too crazy there to get any treatment," I recounted what had happened, purposely leaving out the part about Mike.
"And you didn't turn," Taylor sounded hopeful.
"Obviously not."
John smiled at his son and put his hand on Taylor's shoulder.
"See, there's no need for us to leave you sittin' out here."
Ethan finally spoke up, "Maybe you're just immune."
Way for him to wreck the point of my little story time. I shot Ethan a sideways glance, silently telling him to shut up.
"There's no way of telling. So everybody get back in the truck and we're heading back to the cabin." I used my rarely heard authoritative voice.
Taylor's lips quirked and he trotted off to the passenger's side, John to the drivers. Ethan and I slip back into the cab and I fixed up his arm once we were on the move again. It turns out the bullet had gone through his arm, which was lucky because I was pretty sure I didn't have the stomach to fish a bullet out. I sprayed some of the antiseptic on it then wrapped his upper arm in the remaining gauze. I was getting pretty good at that.
"I think you might need stitches?" It came out more as a question, since I wasn't actually trained to treat wounds.
"I can stitch you boys up once we get to the cabin," John announced from the front seat.
He kept looking over at Taylor, who was staring out the window silently. I threw the unused medical supplies back into the bag and sat back in the seat. None of us wanted to talk; we needed the time to de-compartmentalize. My gaze kept returning to Taylor, looking for any signs that he was going to turn. Mike had lasted at least two hours before he turned, but that was only a guess on my part. He came to Zoe and me after he was bit, so there was no telling how long he was infected before we met him.
I turned in my seat, paranoid that we were being followed. The last thing we needed, on top of everything else, was those psycho's following us back to the cabin. Much to my relief, the road behind us was as empty as the road in front of us. Just a few abandoned cars, the only infected being the dead bodies that occasionally lay by the roadside.
Taylor let out a wet sounding cough and I started to chew at my lips, my emotions fried. Mike had started to make those rattling coughs before he turned.
