A simple way to call for help when in need of another beer when none are close by.
A friend is pounding a beer during Mexican Quarters when he notices he has become dangerously low. In his act to take a breathe he calls for a "Norwegian Transfer". The man or women closest to the case of beer then grabs a fresh one cracks it and sets it in front of the person calling for it. Keep in mind this notion should be performed as fast as physically possible. Now the Drinker may continue his drinking without having to break.

This event is only for the brave at heart...or anyone that likes to hike, likes the winter or just wants a different adventure...it is the annual Winter Hike held at Hocking Hills State Park in Logan, Ohio. Held in the dead of winter, you never know what the weather will bring, but thousands of hikers look forward to the experience each year.
It is a six-mile trek from Old Man's Cave to Ash Cave and the scenery is truly a part of the draw. The hike features a continuous starts from 9 to 11 a.m. Hot bean soup is served midway at Cedar Falls for a donation and a shuttle bus is there to return hikers from Ash Cave to their car.Hocking Hills is among the state's most popular winter destinations. There are a variety of short and easy hikes to longer adventures like the annual winter hike. There is something suitable for everyone to get a view of the gorgeous rock formations.

"So many people make New Year's resolutions that include getting in shape or enjoying live more, there's nothing better than a Hocking Hills hiking getaway to help them achieve those goals," said Hocking Hills Tourism Association Executive Director Karen Raymore. Winter is truly a magical time in the Hills and with a little preparation, visitors will enjoy a dazzling winter wonderland marked by soaring cliffs and gorges and waterfalls that freeze into beautiful crystal formations,"
The Hocking Hills Tourism Association has compiled the following tips for winter hikers.The park is located 40 miles southeast of Columbus. It offers once in a lifetime experiences, that make every day feel like Saturday. There are many free activities for family members. There is plenty of affordable lodging facilities from camping, cabins to hotels and inns.
- Stop by the Hocking Hills Regional Welcome Center for trail maps and travel suggestions. You can also borrow a Flip Video Camera.
- Stay on the trail. Naturalists report that accidents only occur when hikers leave the trail.
- If your feet are cold your whole body will be cold. Wear waterproof hiking boots designed for cold weather and good traction. Keep metal cleats in your backpack and attach to your boots if your boots if you encounter ice on the trail.
- Wear multiple pairs of socks, as many as you can comfortably fit in your boots. You can always take some off it you get too warm. Carry extra dry socks in a waterproof bag in your backpack.
- Use trekking poles or cross country ski poles for extra stability.
- Stay hydrated. Pack water in your backpack. Energy bars are a good idea.
- Cover your hands and face. A ski mask covers your entire face or can be rolled up to just cover your head and ears. Wear insulated gloves and carry an extra pair.
- Layer clothes. While hiking you may become warm. This allows you to remove items as needed. If possible, carry extra dry thermal underwear in your pack.
- Know the weather forecast and trails. Carry a compass, map and cell phone with you. Your cell phone may not work in all areas, but it's a good idea to have one. A hand-held GPS unit is also a great idea.
- Don't hike alone. It's always more fun with friends. If you must hike alone, be sure to tell someone where you are hiking and what time you expect to finish.
- Don't forget your camera. Winter in the hills provides dramatic scenery. You will want to share your photos with your friends and family on Facebook or Twitter. Show them how you braved the elements. But, in the case of the Hocking Hills Winter Hike...don't tell them about the bean soup and the shuttle!
There is much more than hiking. With a total of 50 ziplines offered it is known as the zipline capital of the Midwest. There is canoeing, horseback riding, golf, spas, unique shops and more to explore.
The Winter Hike is traditionally held in January and in 2012 the date is Jan. 21. For more information on the park or dates of events visit www.1800Hocking.com or call 1-800-462-5464.

Offbeat -Y Boy Names
I am still searching for a perfect boy name. We do not know the gender yet but I feel like I have enough girl names. Boy names are harder for me this time around since I have 3 boys already (I've used all my favorite names). Lately, I been interested in names ending in -y. None of my boys have that name ending and it seems like it would fit nicely. I have come across some interesting names like Destry and Trilby, but neither is quite right. I also still really like the name Rusky although it got negative feedback on another post I had a few weeks ago. Negative feedback doesn't bother me at all so it is still in the running. Do any Berries have any interesting, offbeat -y names? As I have mentioned before, I do not like well-known names, trendy names, or anything yoonik/made up. It must be a real name, or a place name - bonus if it has a water reference or an aviation reference. Please inspire me!!! Thanks in advance.

Meet my Sushi Gang!
I'm a serious sushi addict and I need a fix relatively often. I crave for it constantly and when I do, I can't be deterred..."Need. Sushi. NOW." I tend to favor those that involve nothing but raw fish and sushi rice. Like Flipper and Shamu, I just love raw fish! (that goes for raw fish from other culinary cultures too...like raw herring in The Netherlands, served with raw onions...yowza!) There are some exceptions, of course, like Unagi (freshwater eel, that is served cooked), which is also among my list of favorites. And the madcap fusion-sushi created by avant garde chefs who take it to a whole other level. That I find myself enjoying as well. Anyhoo, I am off on a tangent again (!), because of my little fixation, I can never really speak with authority about any other non-sushi dish served in a Japanese restaurant. I usually just head for the sushi bar, plunk myself down, and indulge. (This is a bit sad I know, but more for me to discover later on I guess...)
One such craving day found me at Kuretake, the Japanese restaurant in Powerplant Mall, Rockwell where I already have a favorite seat at the bar...and where I am sure the sushi chefs hate me for badgering them every time I am there! Hee, hee...
Kuretake is owned by the esteemed Mr. Tsumura of Sushi Tsumura...some say the best sushi place in town. I have been there and I have to say, inspite of its sketchy location (which further endears itself to me actually), it is excellent. The sushi is super fresh and is (as the name connotes) what they specialize in. Sit at the bar and you may get a free goodie :-) The sushi at Kuretake is a tad more affordable, and it also serves a whole range of Japanese food (of which I have yet to sample).
And so, without further ado, let me introduce you to my little friends at Kuretake! I love them to bits and each has their own look and personality...
Pictured above you see (from left to right):
Unagi - Unagi is a freshwater eel and is usually served cooked. It's got a delicious sticky-sweet glaze on it that complements perfectly its fatty nature (I like almost anything that has got a "fatty nature"). This guy is both sweet and slick...like your favorite ex-boyfriend. Unagi is a true charmer! He is dashing and debonair with the right amount of danger mixed it, but underneath it all, he is a real mushy guy. You may also want to meet his cousin, Anago (Conger eel), who is a saltwater eel, and a little more mild mannered.
Negitoro - Negitoro is chopped up Toro (Fatty Tuna Belly) with negi-onions (those little green onions you see peeking out) in a roll. Toro for me is one of the best sushi (or sashimi for purists) you can find, at least in my opinion. Why do I like it so much? Why, for it's "fatty nature" of course! The fish is incredibly rich and fatty and just sends me! When you dip it in your soy sauce you immediately see little oil spots floating about. Ooooh... Anyhoo, the downside is that Toro is VERY expensive. One of the most expensive sushi/sashimi around. The alternative? The lovely Negitoro! As they only use a little chopped up Toro and mix it with the green onions, it doesn't cost nearly as much as a full order of Toro sashimi, but still maintains a distinct Toro taste and fattiness, as well as taking on a new flavor of its own with the green onions (which lends a little kick). She is one hot number! If she wasn't Japanese she would be a belly-dancing-boyfriend stealer! Another less costly alternative to Toro (although more costly than Negitoro) would be Chutoro, which is a medium fatty tuna taken from the upper belly. But if you really want to go all out there is also Otoro, the fattiest tuna, but I haven't found it here yet (sigh).
Ama-ebi - Aaah, my little Ama-ebi, a sweet shrimp usually served raw, and for me, leaps and bounds above the regular Ebi sushi (which is cooked). Its flavor is so delicate with just a tinge of sweetness. I love to just hold it in my mouth and enjoy the moment...which is always over too soon. In Kuretake, they fry the head with salt and serve it to you separately for an equally good, if totally opposite in taste to the Ama-ebi, eating experience. The salty-crunchy head, which is served hot, is the perfect foil for the soft and sweet body, which is served cold. Ama-ebi is like the best friend who always showered you with presents from her kitchen and wore soft pink sweaters with pearls and never cussed in her life. She is the one you will tell your mother you are with when you are really off on a wild fling with Unagi. What I am dying to try however is Odoro-ebi, which is known as "dancing shrimp", and is Ama-ebi served live! If anyone knows who serves this here, please pass on the information!
Hamachi - Another fatty one! I am sure you can see a trend here. Hamachi is Yellowtail, a migratory game fish similar to tuna. It's lighter in color and fattier (me and fat...great combination) and is delicious! Hamachi is an old favorite and a regular on my sushi plate. Hamachi is like that friend you made at college who shared all your wild-college-oat-sowing adventures with but who, to this day, remains and important voice in your life.
Mamakare - Mamakare is baby sardines marinated in vinegar. Very similar to Saba (Mackarel). As I like a lot of cured fish dishes (kilawin, ceviche, boquerones en vinagre), whether cured in vinigar or citrus juice, I like this one as well. Since it's been prepared in vinegar, people averse to rawness can happily partake. It's got a strong flavor stemming from both the type of fish it is and the vinegar its been marinated in. Being a sucker for good-looking stuff as well (we all have our shallow-selves), I like its shiny-silvery skin. Reminds me of my best friends earrings. Mamakare is much like the friend you have (we all have!) that is always so perfectly put together with not a hair out of place.
And lastly (but definitely not leastly), Aji:
Aji (right above) is Spanish Mackerel or Horse Mackarel and is another favorite. It's served raw topped with finely chopped green onions. And it comes with it's own little containment unit of soy sauce. This is so its chopped onion topping does not fall into a bowl of soy sauce whilst dipping. Smart no? This fish has a really good flavor, stronger than your usual Maguro (Tuna). Onions and raw fish seem to go perfectly together, the sharp onion-y taste cutting the fishy-ness of the fish (which I guess is why they pair the raw onions with the raw herring in The Netherlands too). Aji is an absolute metrosexual...much like the guy who brings way more beauty products on an out-of-town trip than most of your girlfriends combined.
Sigh...I do love all my delicious little friends. Can't wait till the next sushi-hankering. There is still a whole world of them out there...but that's for another post ;-)

Hi Joey,
I'm glad someone finally wrote about Kuretake. I've long wanted to go there. I like the way you wrote about the sushi. It's like you know them personally (maybe you do) :O
How is the sushi on that place along Pasay Road? - 10:26 PM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Lori, sometimes I do feel like I know them personally, haha!
The sushi in Sushi Tsumura is excellent...that's where you can find Mr. Tsumura actually behind the bar with his minions serving up his yummy and super fresh sushi. I never sit near where he is though, because truth be told, I'm a little scared of him, hehe. My tip would be to sit at the bar and befriend one of his minions, which is what we did. I have only tried the sushi and I don't think they serve much else (although I could be wrong). The clientele is mostly Japanese men. Very traditional...pricey though, although you would never know it to look at the place. On the way up to the 3rd floor we passed this uh, "establishment", that had pictures of various Asian girls at the door and I don't even want to venture a guess about that. But that's part of the adventure of it all for me :-)
Kuretake is more mainstream and I do see a lot of Japanese AND Filipino families sitting at the tables and enjoying loads of dishes... - 3:47 PM
- stef said...
hi, found your blog through karen's. just wanted to say "hello" from another sushi fan.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Stef, thanks for dropping by! :-)
- Midge said...
Hey, Joey.
Love, love, love Kuretake! A colleague of mine from JICA used to drag me along whenever he felt peckish (which was pretty often) and wanted something other than sencha and senbei.
I agree with you that the aji-zushi is just plain heavenly, but I won't say no to their unagi, either. ^_^
You should also try Zaifu when you're at the Power Plant; it's quite good. - 7:43 AM
- ChichaJo said...
I have tried Zaifu at Power Plant...nice too with very reasonable prices. They also have good value lunch meals...
- AnneMac said...
Hi, got in through Carlos' blog.
You might want to try Hatsuhana Tei. It's inside Herald Suits along Pasong Tamo (across Makati Cinema Square). Authentic Japanese dishes and a wide variety of Sushi.
Our Japanese visitors love it there! - 8:53 PM
- ChichaJo said...
Thanks for the tip annemac! Is that in the area they call "Little Tokyo"? I will definitely check it out...
- ting-aling said...
Interesting one. Hey, I'm a sushi addict myself. I particularly like the dynamite rolls and california rolls. We have one here called the bc rolls..hmm..yummy!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Ting-aling, the world of sushi is really so vast, especially including the newer creations...and I am intent on trying them all! What's in the "bc roll"? Sounds intriguing!

Wikipedia: "Palmyra (;Hebrew: תדמור; tiḏmor, Greek: Παλμύρα, Arabic: تدمر; Tadmur, /ˌpælˈmaɪərə/) was an ancient city in central Syria. In antiquity, it was an important city located in an oasis 215 km northeast of Damascus and 180 km southwest of the Euphrates at Deir ez-Zor. It had long been a vital caravan stop for travellers crossing the Syrian desert and was known as the Bride of the Desert. The earliest documented reference to the city by its Semitic name Tadmor, Tadmur or Tudmur (which means "the town that repels" in Amorite and "the indomitable town" in Aramaic) is recorded in Babylonian tablets found in Mari.
Though the ancient site fell into disuse after the 16th century, it is still known as Tadmor in Arabic (aka Tedmor), and there is a newer town of the same name next to the ruins.The Palmyrenes constructed a series of large-scale monuments containing funerary art such as limestone slabs with human busts representing the deceased."
Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.Text by Steve Smith.

Personal History
Our tutor had connections of some kind there, and so the six of us were met at the door by a very tall, thin woman who introduced herself to me by saying "My name is ________.* My great-grandfather was Henry Clay Frick, and he is responsible for the works of art you see around you."
I shook her hand and said, "My name is Franklin Habit. My great-grandfather dug coal in a Frick mine for most of his life, and so is he."
I am pleased to report that the august lady's response to this piece of impudence was a hearty laugh and an arm around the shoulder. Times do change.
The Fricks have their museum, and now my great-grandfather (and great-grandmother) have theirs, though not on quite so grand a scale. A couple years ago, a group of volunteers from Smock, the coal patch where my grandmother grew up, got together and turned the company store building in the center of town into the Smock Heritage Museum, a set of rooms dedicated to the memory of patch life during the "Coal and Coke Era" of 1884-1943.
I've wanted to visit the museum ever since it opened, and on this trip I finally got the chance.
Family history has always fascinated me. Although my grandmother left school after fourth grade, she has an astonishing gift for vivid description and recollection of detail. Under other circumstances, she would no doubt have become a novelist or a journalist. For as long as I can remember, a visit to her meant perching on kitchen chair and peppering her with questions about how she lived as a child, then listening as she peeled potatoes and told stories. I still ask questions, and she still has new stories.
I was always particularly interested in the details of household life–how people in the patch cooked and slept and spent their days–and the newest features of the museum (which Grandma hadn't yet seen) are re-creations of the four things found in every company house: the back porch, the kitchen, the sitting room, and the bedroom.
That's all a miner's house had, really. A porch, a kitchen, and two small bedrooms. Whether you had no children or (as one Smock family famously did) fourteen, that's all you got. At one point, in my great-grandparents' house, there were two parents, four unmarried daughters, a couple of unmarried sons, and one married daughter and her husband, and their baby.
I asked grandma where they all slept. "Where we could," she said. Cozy.
The model patch house rooms were put together by volunteers using items donated by families who'd lived in Smock, with most of the work being done by local Boy Scouts as part of their Eagle Scout projects. How well they did is probably best gauged by my grandmother's reaction. When we walked into the kitchen, she just about burst into tears.
For my part, I was dumbstruck. It was like finally, after all these years, standing inside one of her memories.
I distinctly recall my grandmother saying that every self-respecting woman in Smock filled up her house with needlework, and evidence of that was everywhere. There was very little knitting, however. The only piece I found was this jacket (with matching crochet hat), made for a little girl named Eleanor Vandigo by her mother. The museum has it on display next to a school photo they found of her wearing it.
If the number of surviving objects is any indication, crochet was far more popular. In the patch bedroom, I found this nightcap displayed with the bed jacket (trimmed in filet crochet lace) it was made to match.
There was also a delicate pair of crochet gloves; Grandma remembers these as being reserved for extremely solemn occasions.
Embroidery was everywhere, worked from patterns either drawn by hand on the fabric or purchased from the local company store. Grandma says every house in the patch had one of these comb-and-brush holders over the kitchen sink–the only source of running water in the houses until after World War II.
Embroidery brightened up other everyday items like bedspreads....
...as well as special occasion pieces like covers for the basket of food taken to church on Easter Saturday for a blessing.
This one was hard to photograph, but just like the one Grandma has (made by her mother) the florid inscription is written in Slovak.
The museum has two sets of three-panel portières. Portières hung in every home in the doorway between the kitchen and the sitting room. They were a prominent showpiece, embroidered on both sides and embellished with crochet lace and medallions.
Most of the mining families in Smock (including ours) were some flavor of Eastern European. I was fascinated to see that a lot of the colors and designs were reminiscent of the folk art from that part of the world. I asked Grandma whether she knew if the commercial patterns were shipped from abroad or created domestically for the immigrant market, but she couldn't say. All she knew is that it all came from the company store.
Most households had several sets of these, and also several sets of window curtains. Both had to be taken down every month and washed, because the air pollution from coal dust, ash-paved roads, coal burning kitchen ranges, and the the adjacent coke ovens for the mine, soiled everything so quickly. It must have been an absolute nightmare to keep house under those conditions, especially using a hand-cranked washing machine or (if you weren't so lucky) a washboard and tub.
It was good to see a monument, however humble, to the people who lived and raised families in the patch. It was a hard life, at times desperately poor, but my grandmother remembers it as being on the whole not a bad way to grow up.
If you're interested in a visit, the museum has a Web site. If you go, see if you can spot my great-grandfather in the photograph of the band that used to perform at weddings and dances. Here's a hint: five of the six men are tall and the other one is shorter than the body of his bass fiddle.
Yeah, that one.
*No, I'm not going to tell you her three names. I'm a gentleman.

You are cheeky, aren't you? Love that Frick story.
Thank you for sharing your impressions of this museum. - 10:24 AM

How wonderful! Thank you for sharing this postcard.
- Leslie said...
Thank you, Franklin, for the loving and well told story of the Patch Museum. I hope visitors receive as apt an interpretation as you've given us.
- Cindy in Happy Valley said...
You and I share more than an Arabic heritage.
My Slovak maternal grandfather worked in the anthracite mines in NE PA. They did not live in a company town, however. They had a wonderful house (large by comparison) on the main street across from the colliery. The house was filled with that kind of needlework. Thank you for the sentimental walk. - 11:03 AM
- Joe Rogers said...
Namaste - Love your tribute to the workers who helped make the wealth that funded the great museums. I also studied art history in university but my interest shifted to the lives of the people responsible for the creation of the objects. (Not the rich people who took them away and put them on display.) Your response to the Frick heiress was priceless. How wonderful that the workers had colorful needlework to brighten up their homes and lives. - Joe, in Wyoming
- Roxie said...
Lovely, just lovely! And how proud your grandma must be of you! Thank you so for sharing this!
- Sravana said...
That was just beautiful. I expect belly laughs when I come to your blog, so this was a surprise. You've gotten me to thinking about my Grandparents, and how they, too, decorated their homes with crochet, and embroidery... and this in Central Texas. They were of German and Wendish extraction, fwiw.
You were (are!) and impertinent fella - how else to get that pic of Kaffe knitting with ecru Cascade 220! - and that's why we love you.
You inspire me. :)
(Oh, and can we have more pics of your niece? Pretty please??) - 11:27 AM

Your retort to Ms. Three Names wasn't impudent at all, it was simply the truth, which isn't said often enough!
Beautiful trip down memory lane, and it's great that the town has put the museum together. - 11:34 AM
- Nancy said...
I have a set of dresser scarves in the flower basket pattern that my mother embroidered...they were stamped patterns. Yes, I'm still using them. Thank you for this tour, maybe I'll get over there on a nice weekend.
- Sue said...
What a wonderful glimpse of another time and place! It must have been especially interesting to be there with your grandmother. The embroidery work and lace are like many of the pieces my grandmother had. My grandmother used to tat lace -- gorgeous pieces. She's the one who taught me to embroider, but I never did learn to tat.
- Miss T said...
Wonderful post. You said just the right thing to the woman at the Frick.
- seizuresalad said...
Thank you for posting this, it was a real eye opener to read. We can sometimes forget how profoundly life has changed (for some, anyway) in just 1 or 2 generations.
- Deborah C. said...
This was amazing. I love seeing antique needlework, and your tribute to your family is wonderful. We are lucky to have some of my grandmother's pillow covers - they are traditional Russian red-and-blackwork, and I treasure them because they were made by my mother's family.
- Joe said...
Fascinating stuff...even for someone like me with an aversion to history (except when it's brought to life in a real way for me).
I have to say, the Frick is probably my favorite museum in the World...like an oasis in NYC. - 12:15 PM
- Gretchen said...
What a lovely post. Thank you, Franklin.
- CSkinner said...
For my 30th birthday I went to NYC and the Frick Museum was on my list of must see. Your family history reminds me of my grandmother and the stories of the hill billies of Tazewell, TN. Thanks for sharing. Cindy
- LaurieM said...
Nice. I loved reading this piece. I used to embroider stamped linen as a girl, and I can appreciate the high level of skill it takes to create these pieces.
- debsnm said...
As a history major, I've always loved local and oral histories. This is so wonderful! I grew up in open-pit copper mining country, along with a smelter - so even though the air wasn't as dirty as in coal country, we had our share - thanks so much for the history!
- Mary Lynn said...
Growing up (which really wasn't that long ago), we all embroidered: hankies, pillow cases, tablecloths and sheets. I have a feeling that came more from my French grandmother than from my Irish one. The Irish one taught me how to knit and crochet. And we put crocheted runners on EVERYTHING, and I still have one that my Mom made on my dresser.
Thanks so much for sharing the memories. They brought a smile to my face. - 12:29 PM
- Valerie said...
My heritage is about one quarter 'round the compass to the east/northeast of Smock (45 mi. east of Pgh). My mother grew up in "Coketown" named aptly for the coke ovens where her immigrant grandparents came from Germany to work. The town was razed in the late 1940's to make way for the Johnstown floodplain project since the town was located on the Conemaugh River.
We'll have to visit Patch sometime on one of our visits 'home'. Your grandmother is probably of my mother's generation.
Though I was born in the early '50's, embroidered and crocheted fabrics like those shown in your post are a large part of my early textile memories. There was a lot of crochet and no knitting that I recall. Picking up two needles instead of a hook was one of my earliest forms of "rebellion"
...representative the '60's child that I am! - 12:34 PM

PS: I first acquired an interest in weaving while taking pottery classes at the Frick The Frick
in Pittsburgh. Looking at the website, it's improved remarkably in the past 30 yrs.
I didn't learn to weave or spin until living in the Detroit area. - 12:40 PM

Wonderful description of the museum. Thank you for sharing!
- Bobbi said...
What a wonderful story! I have some of my great-grandmother's lace and crochet hooks for lace. Teeny, tiny hooks on those!!!!
Reading your story could mirror many of our family stories...my other great-great grandmother coming to the US from the Netherlands with her 17 children and living in a two room house much like the one you describe here. Thanks for adding life to it! - 12:55 PM
- Anna-Liza said...
Thanks again, Franklin. I love these kinds of museums, that try to make the ways people lived in the past more real and vivid now. My dad's family were more farmers than miners, but a lot of your photos remind me of my grandmother's home, very much.
- Jocelyn said...
Thank you for sharing such vivid descriptions of your family, Smock, and their handiwork (and your cheeky response -- loved it). I was surprised though -- no comments on the "Franklin Club House Rules" posted on the museum's site?
- Mary Lou said...
Great post- I love the Frick Collection and love your riposte even more -- my grandparents were servants in those homes, and I always look around and try to imagine it from their perspective. Next time I'm there I'll remember the hands digging the coal and drilling the oil.
- la takahashi said...
Thanks for sharing the moment with the Frick tour guide. Many of us only think of clever responses after the fact. Yay for quick wit.
Knowing the effort involved in making beautiful everyday objects, it's wonderful to see their preservation because in some way this also keeps alive the stories of the people who made them. My family was interned during WWII and were only allowed to take whatever they could carry with them. Having only 2 days to leave a household worth of things somehow my grandmother chose to take one of the first dresses she made for my oldest aunt. My grandmother didn't knit but her hand sewing was so beautifully accomplished. - 1:32 PM
- Mandy said...
What a great way to connect with your family and ancestors. It is so exciting to see all that needlework, especially the knitted coat. Purple!
- doodah said...
What a beautiful post. I always love your posts on your family. Thank you for sharing them with us.
I am absolutely crushed that I will not be able to attend the 1000 knitters shoot in Sacramento. (I'll be visiting *my* family.) I am not a knitter, but you are one of my blog heroes, and I can NOT believe I'm going to miss your visit out here. Hope you have a lovely time. - 1:42 PM
- Luise (born in Pittsburgh) said...
Thanks so much for the social history as well as the personal. Very special. Gives us a lot of perspective on a tough but viable life. We are outrageously privileged and spoiled.
- Sarahfish said...
Love the Frick comment! Good thing she took it well.
Your grandmother must have been blown away to be back in Smock. And you must have been blown away to be there with her. Thanks for the tour. It was lovely. :) - 1:51 PM
- Mel said...
That's a lovely tribute. The miner's house sounds not unlike the sharecropper's cabin my great-grandmother lived in - a front porch, a tiny living room dominated by a massive oil heater, a similarly tiny bedroom, and a galley kitchen in back that had the only running water in the house. The "necessary" was an outhouse in the pasture behind the house, with a sort of stile in the fence to provide easy access but keep the cows from escaping.
- Beckett Gladney said...
Hi Franklin. I've mostly lurked, but this wonderful post of yours has made me come out and say thanks for a touching, thoughful view into your family's past. Your blog is always entertaining but this post is special.
- marie in florida said...
thankyou Franklin. may i say your blog today is worthy of Piecework. thanks for sharing, i'm SO going to try to copy that crochet hat. love the love knot stich.
- KathyMarie said...
Franklin, thank you for this! My Grandma passed away last year, and we are still going through the bags and bags of needlework -- crochet and embroidery, mostly. I have loved looking at her work and seeing the bright touches to her house, and I love hearing about others' work too. Great post.
- Judy F said...
My father and his father (maybe even farther back) were coal miners in WVa and while I didn't grow up in a coal town, many of my friends did and I visited them. It was just as you describe. Have you seen the movie 'October Sky'? It's a very close depiction of a coal mining town in WVa.
- Kristen said...
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this museum with us. (Fourteen children! {swoon, faint})
BTW, I'm currently an PhD student in the Henry Clay Frick Department of the History of Art and Architecture. Talk to me about the number of stories about "crazy old" Miss Frick there are! (Different old lady Frick than yours, I know.) I applaud your impudence. ;) - 2:39 PM
- Beth said...
I had to read the entire story to find out the name of the town, as you have described the mine house at Beckely, WVa almost to a T. My grandfather and his brother worked at the Kaymore mine in the New River Gorge area of WVa (pretty much right under the bridge), not in the mine, but as a telegrapher and company store manager, respectively. My cousin Leland told us stories about the mine wars and the riots in the towns between the owners and miners.
- Cherice said...
Thank you for sharing!
My grandpa worked in the coal mines in Colorado and Idaho when he was young (he spent most of his life as a plasterer). I love family history, mine and other peoples. - 4:03 PM
- Kristin (delic8genius) said...
My mother's people are all Slovak, and I have some embroidered pieces from my aunts that resemble that one! My G-GF was the one who came over from Slovakia, and the family settled in St. Louis Missouri. Smock is in Pennsylvania, then?
- Theresa I said...
Franklin you made me weep. This is exactly the way my parents described their lives in a coal mining town in SW VA. When they moved to the city they lived in a mill workers 'camp' for a while.
The mill workers houses were one room bigger they had a living room, kitchen and two minute bedrooms plus a front porch. - 4:13 PM
- Laiane said...
Another wonderful post, Franklin! Thank you so much!
I miss my grandmother terribly. She was the knitter in our family, and she passed away over 15 years ago [long before I took up the needles myself.]
I'm working hard on my Dolores look-a-like entry. I have procured the highly-cooperative sheep and am working on accessorizing. Accessories are very important, Dolores would tell you. - 4:40 PM
- Knitting Librarian said...
What a beautiful post. I always enjoy your blog, but this post was especially moving. I'm a fairly new PA resident, and it was great to learn a little more about the cultural history of the state. Thanks!
- Lucia said...
Amazing post, Franklin. What stories those beautiful handmade pieces tell. It's quite a testament to the people of Smock that, crowded and hardscrabble as their lives were by modern standards, they still created those works of art.
And I too love the Frick story. Good for you, and good for Henry's great-granddaughter. - 5:05 PM
- David said...
Fascinating. Truly.
- Rose Red said...
Gorgeous history. I used to live across from the Frick mansion in Pittsburgh, my friends even got married at the gallery. Your connection is beautiful!
- Carson said...
I do love these unique insights into that world
- lizbon said...
What a wonderful post, and a terrific museum. I love the way it sounds like it was put together with love and respect for those beautiful objects that brighten up daily life, especially humble daily life. Those boy scouts did a great job.
- stash haus said...
I hope you're recording your grandmother's memories in some fashion. Luckily, my mother was able to record many of my grandparents stories before they passed away. Amazing what they experienced.

kisses to your Gran! what a lovely woman to share this with you--and, so, all of us

Impudent, maybe, but you were just being honest.

- dale-harriet said...
Franklin, I feel as though I've been given a gift. I WILL get to that Museum, I will. If I had the chance for a cup of tea with your grandmother and some of her stories of childhood I'd drop everything and run. I'm just WILD about all such things (helps me, as a Museum guide in our Historical Museum and a Fur Trade Reenactor). Please, when you see her again, give Grandma a tiny kiss on her cheek for a damp-eyed bubbe in Wisconsin who thinks she's beautiful and is grateful to her...for you, too.
- Jen said...
I found this post really interesting because my father is from Filbert and I believe I have family in Smock (and other those teeny tiny towns in SW PA). I'll have to check out that museum next time I'm down visiting family. My grandfather was also a coal miner. And I have some of my grandmother's embroidery--pillow cases, dresser scarves, etc. Wish I could get one of her quilts too.
- Eikon said...
The coal mines of Pennsylvania. I'm the last scion of the town of Centralia of mine fire fame. Always a pleasure to learn of another hunkie from the coal fields.
- Riin said...
Oh, the comic I linked to earlier might not make sense now (in context) because he edited the "Panopticon" out. http://www.unshelved.com/blog.aspx?post=915 explains why.
- donnac1968 said...
Wow.what a wonderfully interesting place to visit, and even more so with the family connection. Your grandmother sounds lovely.
- Janet said...
Wonderful blog Franklin. Thank you. Coincidence - sitting beside my computer waiting for blog recognition is a little booklet of poems written by my grandmother in the 1920's - reading your blog this morning reminds me that I really must pay my dues to her as you have done in the lovely tribute to your grands.
- shell said...
What a wonderful way to pay homage to your heritage and your Grand Parents.
I live in central Pa and the area is surrounded by coal mines. I enjoy the history, and the glimpses into the daily life. - 8:18 AM

Hey, I found your blog though Ravelry, and that story you told about learning to knit in prison. ;-) I clicked to the most recent entry, and just wanted to comment.
I have to say that this post brought tears to my eyes. I'm the great-granddaughter of coal-mining Slovak immigrants, only mine were in a small town in Ohio which literally doesn't exist anymore. Our Slovak heritage was all but erased as the great-grandparents were determined to assimilate into the US and only allowed their children to speak English. I grew up with an almost unpronounceable last name with no idea where it came from.
There's an interesting novel by Thomas Bell called Out of this Furnace, which is about a Slovak family and immigrant labor in America. It's a pretty good read, and gave me further appreciation of what my ancestors did for me
Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your post. Take care!

You know, your photography has really come a long way, baby. *smooch*
- Fe said...
Franklin, when your grandmother tells you these stories, are you taking notes?
The reason I ask is that the last 3 years of my grandmother's life, I was taking care of her, and she told me all kinds of stories about her living in Africa and cooking on a bush stove, and living in Jamaica, and what that was like, and I didn't write them down...I thought she was going to be around for a while. She got lung cancer and died 5 weeks after diagnosis in 1989, and I am so sorry I didn't write her life down for her, and for me and my children.
If you don't record the stories, you will regret it later. - 1:46 PM
- Scheherazaad said...
I love your impudence.If your guide was Martha Frick Symington Sanger, I think she is well enough known to mention her name. She wrote a book that is a photographic monument to the houses of her great grandfather:

As the title says, I'm looking for a Los Angeles Class hull, but I'm somewhat open, yet particular, to the type and make.
My first choice is a "unicorn" hull. This would be a 1/144 scale and fairly accurate Los Angeles hull (any Flight). Maybe it's not on par with Matt Thor's hulls with respect to scale detail and craftsmanship, but it's close. It's my understanding this hull does not exist, but if it does and you have one to sell, I'm interested in buying it.
My second choice is an un-built Matt Thor Los Angeles Hull. Preferably it's a Flight I or II Los Angeles SSN, that's untouched. However, I'm ok with a little work on it as long as it's minimal, ie some of the ballast vents have started to be cut and sanded out. I'm also ok with it being a Flight III (688i), but Flights I or II are what I'm really looking for.
I'd also be willing to take a look at some SSY Los Angeles hulls (Flights I or II). I'm not that familiar with them, so I'm going to be very cautious about buying one and will want plenty of close up and high resolution pictures.
My last choice would be a 1/96 Copeland Los Angeles hull. Again, I'd like a Flight I or II, but I'm not sure if they were ever made.
If you have something I might be interested, please let me know.

I got the DVD box sitting beside me. Not opening yet, decided to give it as a present for my sis on new years
Phoronix: Yo Frankie Game Now Available Online
Yo Frankie, the game designed using Blender and the Blender Game Engine, is now available for download online. Yo Frankie is an Apricot Open Game Project and is fully open-source -- even the character art...
I got the DVD box sitting beside me. Not opening yet, decided to give it as a present for my sis on new years
Well I'd have to see a review of the game first before I can make a decision.... Although I think I'll buy it just because theres a linux port on launch!
Why can't other idiot developers catch on? Probably because not enough of us make a point with our purchases. I should buy two: one for me and one for my brother, just like I did with Quake Wars.

Two words, "really buggy".
Is there a place I can download Ubuntu 64 bits packages for this?
No .debs available yet, but their zero install solution works ok.
What genre is this game? Their site doesn't say anything about it except that it looks good because it's made with blender. (And they had some vids, which I haven't watched).
I just think it's weird to be able to read so much about a game without ever finding a clue what the game is like at all. I can't tell if it's an adventure game (like monkey island), an FPS, an RPG, a puzzle game, or what. Online or single player?

Everything's rosy
We thought it was time for a new floral Bath Bomb so we designed the Rose Queen. Full of blossoms, petals and a sensuous new rose fragrance, this one is a splendid, sophisticated bomb fit for a queen. When LUSH co-founder and Bath Bomb inventor Mo first dropped one of these in a tub to show everyone her latest invention, she asked if there were enough petals. Everyone said they thought there was plenty, but Mo went ahead and put lots more in to really spoil us!
- You asked for it: Customers have been asking us for a traditional LUSH Bomb full of petals. Here it is!
- Bathe in rose petals: Packed with rose petals, and a gorgeous new floral fragrance for a romantic soak.
- Rosy outlook: Rose absolute is considered an aphrodisiac, and an ancient symbol of love and innocence.
Customer Review

This program explores the terrestrial and marine ecosystems of far North Queensland and the relationship of traditional and contemporary human cultures with the environment. Students interact with scientists and local experts from organizations such as the Lizard Island Research Station and the Wet Tropics Management Authority to gain a firsthand understanding of ongoing conservation efforts in an exceptionally diverse environment.
In the Australia: Rainforest, Reef, and Cultural Ecology study abroad program, students learn in a truly world-class environment. Australia is home to flora and fauna that cannot be found elsewhere in the world, and students examine complex ecosystems directly where they are found.
The Australia: Rainforest, Reef, and Cultural Ecology program consists of the following main components:
Cairns is the commercial and tourism hub of Queensland's Wet Tropics and Cape York Peninsula. Serving as the program's base, the city offers students excellent access to the region's important ecological sites. During this period, students attend lectures and engage in afternoon educational excursions to places such as Flecker Botanical Garden and Cairns mangrove boardwalk. During these short excursions, students complete field exercises as part of their investigation into urban ecology. This period is designed to help students become familiar with the people and places of the region and prepare them for the intensive field modules that follow. Students spend two weeks living with an Australian family.
The Environmental Field Study Seminar (EFSS) provides conceptual preparation and skill development to assist students in undertaking ecological and anthropological field studies in a cross-cultural context. Beginning with the sessions during orientation, and continuing throughout the semester, the EFSS develops students' skills and fosters their ability to observe, interpret, and appropriately function within the range of Australian environments and cultural contexts encountered on the program. Field exercises, assignments, and group discussions focus on various methods and techniques used in the collection and utilization of field data and scientific literature. Students conduct marine, terrestrial, and anthropological fieldwork.
For many students, the Independent Study Project (ISP) is the culmination and overall highlight of their academic experience in Australia. The ISP allows students to take the information they have acquired from thematic coursework and field study and apply it to designing, implementing, analyzing, and writing up a scientifically valid research report. Through their own initiative, students network and collaborate with Australian experts. In the past, many students have made lasting professional connections during their ISP.
The interdisciplinary coursework in the Australia: Rainforest, Reef, and Cultural Ecology program is designed to develop students' knowledge and appreciation of the species- and systems-level ecological patterns, processes, and human influences affecting the Wet Tropics and Great Barrier Reef bioregions. Topics for examination include marine ecology; geomorphology and management issues; rainforest ecology and conservation; Aboriginal perspectives on the environment; and Green politics in Australia. Throughout the semester, students participate in a variety of research and cultural activities and learn from researchers, professionals, practitioners, and community experts. During the final five weeks of the semester, students leverage their field study experience and research skills to conduct an Independent Study Project (ISP).

Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
Excursions to different ecosystems with high biodiversity and landscape values are a major emphasis of the Australia: Rainforest, Reef, and Cultural Ecology program. Therefore, much of the program's academic delivery takes place outside of Cairns. The program's four field-based modules are designed to integrate field observations, lectures, and direct experience with theoretical considerations learned in the classroom and from course readings.
Students gain immediate exposure to the themes of the course during orientation. These themes include the ecology of rainforest and reef systems, and the cultural interactions that people of the region have with these specific environments. During orientation, students travel as a group to points of interest along the coast and upland areas surrounding Cairns. During these short excursions, students examine ecological patterns and processes and the influence they have had on historical and contemporary human environmental attitudes and settlement patterns.
Students become increasingly familiar with the regional geology, geography, and biota, as well as traditional and modern approaches to living in the landscape. Students visit rainforest protected areas and two Aboriginal cultural heritage enterprises. A day on the Great Barrier Reef launches the program's reef ecology studies and helps students better understand the connections between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The orientation period aims to give students a "taste" of the main program components and helps them narrow their research interests for their Independent Study Project.
The weeklong Aboriginal camping excursion takes place at a site (or sites) determined by SIT staff; sites are chosen based on factors such as weather and locally relevant conditions prior to the commencement of the trip.
Aboriginal guides, associated with the SIT program for more than 20 years, enthusiastically share with students their diverse knowledge of traditional Aboriginal lifestyles and culture. Students explore the environs around their campsites and investigate how traditional Aboriginal culture viewed and interacted with their environment. Group discussions focus on the practical realities of survival in the Australian environment, and students contemplate how environmental realities affected the development of the world's oldest living culture. Students address contemporary problems facing Aboriginal cultural survival and discuss the means by which Australian society in general, and North Queensland in particular, can reconcile its sometimes violent and tumultuous past with a future that includes the First Australians.
The 10-day rainforest module examines the diversity of habitats and environments within the Wet Tropics Bioregion. The program adopts a landscape ecology approach to emphasize the development of the region both from an historical and a contemporary perspective. Students examine the linkages between geology, geomorphology, climate, human activity, and the ecological systems of the Wet Tropics.
Day trips to a variety of sites allow students to examine a range of different structural "types" of rainforests as recognized by scientists. Students are required to develop their observation skills and knowledge of forest physiognomic characteristics in order to categorize the structural features that account for these differences.
At each site, students are required to place the site within its overall landscape context and relate the larger scale patterns and processes they observe, in order to integrate their understanding of the natural and human communities of the bioregion. Students are expected to become "experts" on local flora and fauna, and throughout this module the identification of organisms and knowledge of the phylogeny, taxonomy, and life history of the biota is emphasized. During this module, students also complete a two-day field study in which they develop a research question and methods of research, and analyze and report their findings to the rest of the group.
Overall, the rainforest field module serves as an outdoor laboratory where students can learn practical skills about reading landscapes that allow them to predict the effects of biophysical factors on the structural and floristic development of biotic communities in any landscape.

Coral Reefs: Ecology and Conservation
The coral reef ecology and conservation module is delivered primarily during the 10-day excursion to Lizard Island Research Station on the Great Barrier Reef. During this module, students develop an in-depth understanding of the ecological patterns and processes of coral reef ecosystems. Students examine coral reef conservation and management issues from both local and global perspectives.
The research station provides six-person boats which are used to survey the diverse fringing reefs surrounding Lizard Island. During morning snorkeling sessions (usually about 3 hours in duration) students learn underwater data collection and fish observation skills and become proficient in the identification of major coral groups and reef fish families. Students must collect data for a scientific report they write as part of their coursework.
During afternoon snorkeling sessions (usually about 2.5 hours in duration), students explore various reef habitats around the island, observing how environmental parameters influence reef structure and species composition. On these snorkeling excursions, students often see marine turtles, stingray, octopus, and the occasional moray eel.
When not in the water or at lectures, students may interact with the researchers working at this world-class research facility. Many students in the past have collaborated with researchers at the station on their Independent Study Project.

Although Australia is famous for its outback, most of the country's population lives in urban areas along the coast. The program spends time in Cairns and small towns to give students multiple perspectives on topics, including the Australian urban experience, Aboriginal issues in urban settings, and urban ecology.
Students experience a two-week homestay with an Australian family in Cairns. The homestay takes place immediately following orientation so students can become familiar with Australian culture and the community early on in the program. Many students form strong bonds with their homestay families and visit them at later points in the semester. The homestay experience provides an excellent opportunity for students to discover the subtle yet substantial differences between US and Australian cultures.
Cairns is a small yet dynamic city with excellent access to tropical beaches, freshwater creeks fed by clear mountain streams, and other ecological treasures. While in Cairns, students might visit the Cairns Esplanade, an exceptional recreational area and internationally recognized migratory water bird habitat. Learn more about the Esplanade.
Other accommodations during the program include hostels, small hotels, and campsites.
Fall 2014 students Richard Yeker, Julia Krumholz (both from Carleton College), and Maeve Lueken (from the University of Maine) wrote an article for The Carl, Carleton College's biweekly newspaper, about some of their experiences observing musky rat kangaroos in the wild. Read the article here.

The initial signing of Steve Nash came off of a season he averaged 15/10 shooting 50/40/90 and missed only 4 games. At the time he was quite obviously still in the top tier of PGs in the league. Then he broke his leg the 2nd game of the season and was not ever the same since. He had a nice stretch until injuring his hamstring/back again.
At no point were any of us wrong who claimed that when we signed Nash he was a top 25 PG still. You were wrong.
Telling history to fit your tale: priceless.
i didn't say any names but are you suggesting you were one of many killing me when i said nash isn't a good enough player to be a starter on this team even when healthy?
If you made that suggestion at the start of the season, then yes probably. If you made that suggestion sometime in the last month, then no probably not.
i made that opinion after he came back from his first injury and sucked & couldn't even deal with ball pressure causing the overload on kobe which he & MDA are responsible for ( 2 phx suns has beens). it wasn't hindsight it was in the moment i said he wasn't gonna deliver. one thing i will admit i am wrong on was thinking we should explore trading D12 i was wrong about that because he has gotten healthier and shown he is the future. Nash on the other hand i was right months ago the guy is shot. i admit when i am wrong others should too.He has dealt with injuries off and on this year. The first and worst was freak. Where in the hell does that not figure into your performance evaluation?? Younger players don't get injured too? Stephen Curry, Rajon Rondo and pick one or two more young guards hurt this year, saying hello. Guess they suck too. You give the impression of someone more happy to be right in your head than whether or not it impacts the team in negative way. Props!
Yes i like being right like 99.9% of all human beings. the point is when your old you can't recover as fast and the odds of you getting injured again are greater. Look at nash he is now hobbled with something completely different than his early season injuries. Steph curry & rajon rondo don't play for the Lakers so who cares but to bust your point steph is back already and playing at a high high level. Nash is so old we don't even know the origin of his current injuries he is just hurting from and old man hamstring and hip i believe.
