Recipe by jillerinbott
"Buttery, garlicky cabbage and noodles! I have found this to work with other vegetables as well. Instead of cabbage, use spinach, collards, or any other leafy vegetable that wilts well. What doesn't taste good with garlic and butter?"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (12 ounce) package
kluski noodles
3 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
sweet onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
1 pinch
crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon
dried Italian herb seasoning
1 large head
cabbage, cored and finely chopped
1/4 cup
3 tablespoons
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch
garlic powder, or to taste
Absolutely how my Mom used to make it.... I like to add a scoop of cottage cheese to my serving ----
Yummy and satisfying comfort food. I remember my mom used to make something just like this when I was growing up. Followed the recipe exactly, and even though the Kluski noodles were hard to find (they were on my shopping list for almost a month before I found them at a market), they proved to be so perfect in this recipe that I was glad I hadn't substituted some other noodle. Bonus: it was even BETTER the next day!

This was really good, hubby and kids liked it. Two of the 3 kids wouldn't eat the leftovers. Hubby thought leftovers were great although that isn't always an indicator because when it comes to cooking, I think he keeps his bar low for the sake of my self esteem. I've come a long way since we started out but apparently you never really forget...I do think it's best freshly made and next time I may serve it as a side to a meat main. ;)
Used red cabbage. So good, I would change nothing!

Well, I took one of my Rustlers as a test and used the STRC LCG kit to see if I liked it, I converted one to a regular Slash last year and I didnt like the way it rolled so I switched it back to a Rustler, this however is staying
My kids and I are just bashers with a trip to a track 3-4 times a year for fun, I already had RPM Slash rear arms on all of my Rustlers so all I needed were body posts, bumpers and the STRC kit. This thing handles better than the Rustler due to the added length and looks awesome like a Slash! I ordered 2 more kits to convert my other 2 Rustlers, we will have 2 Ford F-150's and a Baja (Herbie) for my Daughter. I have 3 new bodies on the way, I messed this one up bad on the other side I will save it for gravel pit bashing.
Hmm, should I be in the Rustler forum like I have been or can I come here now

Several such tools are now available to the FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership. The applicability of each tool is summarized in Figure 2-1. Some of them have been developed, at least in part, by the Partnership and some have been developed outside. This set of systems analysis tools is now providing useful technical capabilities at the vehicle and fuel system levels. Increasingly, it is also providing capabilities at the implementation, impact, and policy levels.
The Phase 1 report reviewed the status of the available analysis tools and how they were then being used. The committee that wrote that report made recommendations in three areas:
Continuing broad assessments to guide future research priorities and national transportation energy policy.
Developing and using models to better understand consumer behavior during market transitions to new vehicle technologies and fuels.

Since it seems to be a long running tradition around here, I was wondering who the posters to this site will choose to aim their anger at if Willy Taveras ends up having a year more like 2007 than his 2008?
Last year it was CP and it was pretty deserved, he had a horrible year. Did CP cost us a chance at the playoffs? No - we were not close. You could have had a legendary player in center and we would have still fallen well short.
Some of you love to rip Dusty Baker - three time manager of the year, who is now our skipper. Some of you say that he can't make a line-up and that he is clueless on who should play and when. Did he lose his credentials when flying in to the Cincy airport? Did he lose all the respect he is due on the bridge that leads into the city? You can't say, but look at the teams he coached when he was manager of the year unless you want to say the same thing about Sparky. Anybody could will back to back World Series with that line-up of HoFers!
Taveras has been chosen in the preseason, but I think he may actually have a great year - playing a strong CF, leading off and reaching base at a respectable clip, swiping bases easily and scoring runs.
If that happens - who is next on the list to hate on?
My nomination is EE. I want him to be successful. I want to love and respect our 3B, but his long streaks where he looks lost drive me nuts. He has power, but it seems to only show up on rare occasions.
Regardless, here is the big difference, I still cheer for EE and want him to be wildly successful. I think he can be a very solid starting 3B and wish him nothing but the best. Our team is not doomed because he can't field consistently or because he has at bats where he seems asleep.
Who is next to hate on?

The Levant is a geographical term that denotes a large area in Western Asia, roughly bounded on the north by the Taurus Mountains, on the south by the Arabian Desert, and on the west by the Mediterranean Sea, while on the east it extends into Upper Mesopotamia; however, some definitions include nearly all of Mesopotamia. The term Levant is somewhat synonymous with the term Mashriq derived from the Arabic consonantal root sh-r-q (ش ر ق), relating to "the east" or "the sunrise". An imprecise term, Levant refers to an area of cultural habitation rather than to a specific geographic region.
The Levant forms the middle part of the Fertile Crescent, between the Nile Valley (Egypt) to the south-west, and Mesopotamia (Iraq) to the east. It consists of Syria, israel, Lebanon and Jordan.
The term Levant, which first appeared in English in 1497, originally meant a wider sense of "Mediterranean lands east of Venetia". It derives from the Middle French levant, the participle of lever "to raise" — as in soleil levant "rising Sun" — from the Latin levare. It thus referred to the Eastern direction of the rising Sun from the perspective of those who first used it and has analogues in other European languages, notably morgenland -or a closely related word meaning morning land- in most Germanic languages. As such, it is broadly equivalent to the Arabic term Mashriq, "the land where the Sun rises".
It is similar to the Ancient Greek name Ανατολία (Anatolía) which means the "land of the rising Sun", or simply the East. It derives from ανατολή = "the rise, especially the sunrise", resp. from ἀνατέλλω = to rise, esp. said of the Sun or Moon (ἀνά = up, above + τέλλω = to go, rise, come into existence). For the Greeks, Ανατολία (Anatolía) is a synonym of Μικρά Ασία (Mikrá Asía = Asia Minor), not of Levant.
In 19th-century travel writing, the term incorporated eastern regions under then current or recent governance of the Ottoman empire, such as Greece. In 19th-century archaeology, it referred to overlapping cultures in this region during and after prehistoric times, intending to reference the place instead of any one culture.
The French Mandates of Syria and Lebanon, from 1920 to 1946, were called the Levant states. The term became common in archaeology at that time, as many important early excavations were made then, such as Mari and Ugarit. Since these sites could not be classified as Mesopotamian, North African, or Arabian, they came to be referred to as "Levantine."
Today "Levant" is typically used by archaeologists and historians with reference to the prehistory and the ancient and medieval history of the region, as when discussing the Crusades. The term is also occasionally employed to refer to modern or contemporary events, peoples, states, or parts of states in the same region, namely Israel and the Palestinian territories, Lebanon, Jordan,and Syria.

Yikes, there was some great racing today and all most people can talk about is the reaction to an Irish whinger and how they didn't broadcast the National Anthem due to timing! Why doesn't he congratulate Eugene on a brilliant ride? That's not important is it? They just didn't show the national Anthem!!!

I'm currently in some trouble with my phone.
Yesterday out of no thing I got the mentioned error "uids on the system are inconsistent you need to wipe your data partition"
My Moto G was only unlocked and rooted and basically Stock FW.
After I got this error I was like "well this sucks but ok" so I booted into the recovery (I pre-installed the recovery from the Cyanogen Mod thread) wiped it and booted again but nothing, the error still appeared.
So my next step was to try to flash a custom rom - I flashed CyanogenMod which ended in a boot loop. I flashed a stock firmware again aaaaand yes, the UIDs error was still persistent.
I also wiped the dalvik cache and the fix on the internet "use fix permissions in recovery" does not work as there is no such menu entry :/
So yeah, please help to resolve this this problem - I like my phone

Orange County Convention Center
Remarkable 1799 S-189 Cent, VF251799 1C VF25 PCGS. CAC. S-189, B-3, R.2. Although many aspects of the 1799 cent coinage have been and continue to be debated by numismatic scholars, there is universal agreement that it is one of the three famous key-date large cent issues along with 1793 and 1804. Joseph J. Mickley, who was born in 1799, is credited as the "Father of American Coinage" because of the story that surrounds his vain attempt to find a cent from the year of his birth.
Mint records indicate that 904,585 large cents were produced throughout the year, although we know today that nearly every one of those nearly 1 million coins was actually dated 1798. It is impossible to determine with accuracy how many coins struck in 1799 and 1800 were dated 1798, how many were dated 1799, and how many were dated 1800. There is clear die state evidence that proves that the 1799 overdates were struck prior to the last of the 1798 cents. The 1799 normal date coins were probably struck after the 1798 cents, and some of those may have been struck in 1800. Mint records show a total production of 4,706,460 cents during those three years. A total of 78 different die varieties were produced, and analysis of current rarity ratings shows that about 32,000 1798 through 1800 dated large cents still survive. Our analysis suggests the following actual mintages for coins that carry a given date: 3.24 million for 1798; 145,000 for 1799; and 1.32 million for 1800. Like any similar survey, the data is skewed toward the rarer issue, in this case 1799. Because of the value, any 1799, even if barely identifiable, is included in the rarity ratings, while similar quality 1798 and 1800 cents are not included in the rarity figures.
The present piece, with the sharpness of an exceptional coin, has smooth deep olive surfaces with a few faint marks on each side that are consistent with the grade and time in circulation. Faint surface roughness is of little concern. In fact, the surfaces are actually quite smooth for a 1799 cent. Usually they are heavily corroded, and this piece is a wonderful, problem free coin. EAC 15.

Welcome Interim Director
Chair of the Future of Ice, Eric Steig, is on sabbatical leave in Scottland for this academic year, 2014-2015. Filling in his place as Interim Director is Jody Deming, Professor of Oceanography. Jody has been an active member of the Future of Ice Initiative and is a part of the board since the development of the Initiative. Jody's research interests includes 1) Micro-scale foraging and survival strategies of marine microorganisms within physical support, especially as they influence carbon and other elemental cycles; 2) Cold adaptation in marine microorganisms and relevance to polar geochemistry and ecology; 3) Limits of microbial life, especially in ice, as they relate to astrobiology (UW Astrobiology Program), biotechnology and bioremediation (UW Marine Bioremediation Program); 4) Role of benthic bacteria in biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems, from coastal to deep-sea environments; 5) Hydrostatic pressure in the evolution and ecology of marine bacteria, especially at very cold and hot temperatures. The committee of the Future of Ice Initiative would like to welcome Jody!
Executive Committee
Activities under the "Future of Ice" Initiative are coordinated by a board representing centers and programs from across the University of Washington. For 2013-2014, the Executive consists of Eric Steig, Chair (Quaternary Research Center / Earth and Space Sciences), Ben Fitzhugh (Quaternary Research Center / Anthropology), Axel Schweiger (Polar Science Center, the Applied Physics Lab) and Nadine Fabbi (Canadian Studies Center).

Activity Sheet: Nutrirtion
Overview of the issue of a nutrition with accompanying comprehension exercises.
By utilizing the Youth Report and the Educator Guides students will learn:

3) How individuals can contribute to improving child survival
Overview of the issue of a nutrition with accompanying comprehension exercises.
Use this poster to inform your school community about Ebola and publicize your UNICEF fundraiser for Ebola.
Although the number of polio cases has dropped to 1,500 cases a year from 350,000 in 1988, polio still poses a threat to the health of many, especially those living in India. UNICEF USA works to educate families on protecting themselves from the polio virus. UNICEF has also provided 1 billion doses of vaccines a year to clinics and hospitals in India; but polio cannot be eliminated until every person has been vaccinated. In the video, hear the stories of how UNICEF aid has changes the lives of people affected by polio.
More than 34 million people are living with HIV/AIDS and more than 3 million of those are children. Most cases of infection are in sub-Saharan Africa. In this video, see the story of two boys who receive help from UNICEF-assisted hospitals and received the antiretroviral therapy they needed to survive. UNICEF provides antiretroviral treatment as well as supplies and equipment to help treat HIV/AIDS, but needs funding to continue providing relief.
Over 200 Million people contract malaria every year, and of those more than 600,000 cases end in death. In Ghana alone, more than 200,000 children die. Malaria is a treatable and preventable disease. UNICEF USA has provided more than 2 million treated bed nets to families with young children to help reduce the infection rate. In this video, hear the stories of two young mothers each of whom lost a child to malaria and are now hopeful for the future thanks to UNICEF and the bed nets they provide.
Guatemala has the fourth highest malnutrition rate in the world and 50% of Guatemalan children under the age of 5 are chronically malnourished. In this video, UNICEF helps a struggling mother give her children the nutrition and supplements they need. UNICEF USA is determined to help the children and mothers facing malnutrition, but they need more resources. Please visit UNICEF USA athttp://www.unicefusa.org/ and donate today.
This K-2 Activity Sheet helps students explore the issue of malnutrition, and how UNICEF is addressing this issue around the world with life-saving supplies.
This document, utilized in the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF unit for grades 3-5, explores the story of Mord, an infant who suffered from Malnutrion, prior to a UNICEF-lead intervention.
Thirty years ago, former UNICEF Executive Director James P. Grant launched what would become known as the "Child Survival and Development Revolution." The bold and unprecedented effort, involving a diverse coalition of supporters and partners
from all over the world, saved 25 million young lives and spared millions more the misery of severe disability. Elevating the cause of children's well-being to historic heights, the ambitious campaign also forever changed the face of global health and demonstrated the amazing potential of international development.

Walt Disney's Birthday Celebration
If Walt Disney was still alive he will celebrate today his 108th birthday. So let's celebrate this very special date with rare historical pictures of Walt.
It's beginning to be difficult to find never-seen-before pictures of Walt but thanks to LIFE photographers we can still discover rare pictures of him, and here is a selection of them.
On this first picture, Walt is sitting at his desk at the Walt Disney Studios in November 1938 photographed by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
On the picture below, Walt Disney is in Rio De Janeiro during his visit to Brazil in June 1941, photographed by Hart Preston.
Some years later, in September 1953, Walt at Walt Disney Studios, posing with Mickey, Donald and Goofy plushs, photographed by J. R. Eyerman.
Always in 1953, a picture from the report Walt Disney Story -Mr John Ott In Chicago, Photographer: Alfred Eisenstaedt.
Another picture from the same report with Walt on a stagecoach.
In October 1962, folk singer Burl Ives, chatting with Walt Disney sitting on porch in Hollywood. Photographer: John Loengard.
Always on October 1962, Walt Disney on the lot of his studio. Photographer: John Loengard.
But Walt, it was also Disneyland, and here he is standing near the model of New Orleans Square.
On the two videos below Walt presents a rare Disneyland construction progress report. Don't miss the part two where you'll see rare shots of Jungle Cruise AAs filmed before the opening of the park. Also an incredible travelling to show the Jungle Cruise track where a car is filmed moving inside the Jungle Cruise river before it was filled with water!

Used this for years. Repurchased many times over. I used it all over my body after getting out of the shower while still damp. Left my skin smooth all day. I used it with targeted essential oils as my main face moisturizer/serum. Used it to condition my hair or as pre-wash treatment. I loved this oil, not as stinky or heavy as EVOO, and a bit less greasy than Sweet Almond Oil. It's light and absorbs relatively quickly.
I'm a huge oils fan. Currently I use Virgin Coconut oil instead of Grape seed, but I'd have no problem switching back. Love them both.

So I have bought grapeseed oil..i use it after a shower so the oil can absorbs better and not be clogged from dirt or sweat..I have sensitive skin and was hesitant on using carrier oils.I purchased grapeseed carrier oil and it is now breaking me out all over my face..my forehead.chin. cheeks..I want to have a natural moisturizer..any other tips or oils for something to help scars and pore size??

I bought this to use as a facial moisturizer. My skin is extremely oily so I jumped on the "use oil for oily skin" bandwagon for a while. I didn't like it. While it seemed to moisturize my skin effectively, it still left a greasy feeling no matter how little I used and I'm not down with that. Don't really like to stick to my pillowcase when I'm sleeping. So now, to use it up, I use it to remove my eye makeup and it works brilliantly for that. The makeup melts off. But sadly, I will not repurchase when I use it up. And that will be a while since I have 2 bottles of it. If you're interested at all, Puritan's Pride has GREAT DEALS on their website all the time. Like buy one, get 2 free and things like that. So I have this oil and sweet almond oil that I use on my hair. That also works great. So there you go.

I have used NOW grapeseed oil for one whole year with great success. I don't use castor oil for OCM; instead, I just use my oil. With a face full of makeup, I put it all over and then rinse with a washcloth. Then I follow with a apple cider vinegar toner (1/4 ACV, 3/4 water) and moisturize with aloe vera and a few drops of oil. My acne scars have diminished and I feel good about using natural products! :D

Grape seed oil = OCM
This stuff is/was amazing. After about 1 month of using it (only at night, I just rinsed my face in the morning) all my acne on my forehead was gone, and the rest was pretty close to it. About 3 months in, my skin looked the best it has in idk? FOREVER lets say.... but here's where it went wrong
I've only ever had them around my nose like most people. Now, whereever the acne stopped coming back (forehead, chin, sides of face, even my neck!), a nasty blackhead (clogged pore same thing?) replaced it. I would spend hours trying to get rid of them but that just left me with red bumps and broken skin. I switched to hemp, which didn't clog pores like it promised, but it didn't do any good for my acne ):
I think everyone should at least try grapeseed out... I believe its the most effective thing to use for OCM with that one downside. It did help calm my face A LOT, I must give it that, and maybe is the reason why what I'm doing now is better than okay. I will do it every once in a while as it really help evens out my skin tone and make it softer. KEY PHRASE: EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
hope that helped

I bought Now Food's grape seed oil and have been using this product over a month now. I use this as a moisturiser. I have combination/light acne skin and using this product has cleared out my pimples except the occasional monthly hormonal pimples.
The glow on my skin has gotten more radiant. When I use this under my foundation, I have this dewy look that I absolutely love.
However, towards the end of the day, my skin does get a bit oily but that's probably due to my skin type and the fact that I live in South East Asia where it's hot and humid. I'm not a huge fan of the smell so I'm going to buy a couple of essential oils to add in to counteract the smell.
Overall, I love it. It absorbs very well but keep in mind, a tiny amount of product is needed.
I also apply a very minute amount to the end of my hair to keep the fizziness at bay and it works better than anything I've ever used in my life. Going to use this as a hot oil treatment as well. I love how versatile this oil is.

I love this oil. I use this oil to cleanse my skin after washing off makeup, and afterwards use a little bit to moisturize with a little bit of castor oil on my acne scars. This oil has a comedogenic rating of 2, which means it will not clog your pores. It also helps with oily AND dry skin, it helps balance the natural oils produced on the skin. my acne is clearing up and my skin feels smooth as a baby's bottom. I would and have recommended this to my friends.

Edit: I still really like grapeseed oil & I would recommend it to oily gals everywhere. However I have moved onto mineral oil (strictly for mu removal) and Jojoba oil has taken its place as HG status in my beauty cabinet.
Original review:
Grapeseed oil removes my make up better than any high end make up remover on the market. I was gladly spending up to $20 a month on make up remover from Sephora until I found the oil cleansing method. I wear matte, full coverage, long-lasting make up daily & this is always able to get off every trace of it at night.
For what it's worth - I've tried almost all of the other cleansing oils out there. They all seem to equally remove make up. The reason I choose grapeseed oil as my holy grail is due to the fact it has one of the lightest consistencies. Olive oil was decent, but it was so thick that it felt gross to apply it to my face. Additionally, grapeseed oil has astringent properties. This means it is suited for my oily, acne prone skin.
If you find you are breaking out after using the oil cleansing method - don't worry, you're not alone. Sometimes this means you're using the wrong oil, and sometimes this just means that your skin doesn't tolerate oil. I know for a fact the cause of my acne is due to oil clogging my pores. The solution here is to follow up after oil cleansing with a real (soap) cleanser, or a micellar (cleansing) water.
Last but not least - I bought a big bottle of this for $3 and it has lasted me over 6 MONTHS. I wish I found grapeseed oil earlier instead of wasting so much money on ineffective high end products.

Will just be using this on my body as well as to remove eye makeup. I also heard it works well for wrinkles & dark under eye circles. I feel like I got some acne bumps due to this. Sometimes the less I use on my face, the better! Keep skin care simple!

I've used grape seed oil for different purposes so thought I'd give a review on all: In short, it's amazing for cooking, great for the body, really individual whether it works as a face treatment.
I used grape seed oil as a body moisturiser all summer last year, massaging it in straight after showering and it is amazing. Locks in moisture but doesn't feel too thick, and even seems to improve skin tone (although that could just be the amazing glow it gives your legs).
It does leave an oily surface however and while that's great for bare leg days (great healthy sheen stays all day), the oil leaves a smell on clothing over time, and that's the only reason I've given it up. It doesn't matter how many times I have washed the loungewear and tops and leggings I wore when using grape seed oil but the faint smell is there. It seems even clothes that are kept in the same drawer have caught the smell - it's not gross, but it's the smell of oil...
As a face cleanser, it's a bit too light for my dry flakey skin - didn't feel make up came off as well as with, say, hempseed oil which is thicker.
As a moisturiser it's great under make-up as it goes on smooth and silky rather than thick and fatty. But here's the thing, grape seed is apparently great for oily skins, but just too drying for dry skin.
In the summer it was nice to use but didn't give me much moisture - it seemed to have lost any hydration halfway through the day.
In the colder months, it actually created dry patches where I normally have just a bit of surface flaking.
Hasn't broken me out (important) but I also haven't used for prolonged periods of time. No difference to clogged pores.

This was the destination we were headed to.
Ringing Rocks Park in Bucks County, PA.
I had a hard time finding on the internet exactly where the entrance was to this place.
But it had to be on Ringing Rocks Road !
So, once I found the parking lot we needed to find the trail !
There are no signs or maps to show the layout of the park.
The parking lot is not huge so a short walk around and the trail shows up.
It is the only trail out of the parking lot and is nicely marked by a sign that says "TRAIL".
The trail first leads to what they call a field of boulders.
Some guy was blocking this one.
This one looked clear.
But it is very difficult to get around because of this.
And MORE rocks !
That was looking ahead of where we were, this was looking to our left.
I stood up on a big rock and got a little further view.
Navigation of the seven acres of rock is difficult.
Why is it called Ringing Rocks?
Well, when the rocks are struck they ring.
Now I was thinking they would sound like a bell by the way people were describing it.
When you hit a rock with a hammer normally you get a Thunk, Thunk, Thunk sound.
When you strike these you get a short Tinggg Tinggg Tinggg sound.
Kind of like striking two hammers together.
But not all of the rocks make the sound !
And no one seems to know why they ring and also why other do not.
One guy collected back in the 1800's different pitched rocks and made music.
They say that was the first Rock Concert!
So everyone comes armed with a hammer.
Here is a nice writeup and pictures by David's Photographic Tour of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
A little more information on Visit Philadelphia.
Information on Wikipedia.
Here is a video from Ringing Rocks Park showing the ringing and the variety of sounds you can make with these rocks.
The park is a Bucks County Park and not a State Park.
I will mark the parking lot entrance on my map so you do not have to guess where it is like I did.
The rocks are clearly seen on satellite view.

Also located here is Bucks County's highest waterfall.
There are also no signs for how to get to that.
Just keep following the trail past the rocks.
The trail is pretty easy, but you have to watch for the many rocks and tree roots sticking out.
Several large trees had fallen over.
I was surprised at how shallow and how few roots were holding this big tree up.
The soil underneath has a reddish color to it and looks like it has a high content of clay.
A nice rock planter.
And finally the falls.
Yes, there is water going over that.
It is at the middle bottom of the picture.
I was amazed at how flat and wide the river bed was.
I would think this would look great after a good rain storm.
You can see some good sized trees laying around which had to come over the falls.
There is a good drop off from the upper layer to the lower layer.
The falls are said to be 30 feet high, so that should be how high that drop off is.
People were walking all over.
I never did see a Park Ranger.
No railings or signs or anything.
Which I thought was pretty nice, but can be dangerous.
The flat wide riverbed sloped to the right, so that is why all of the water is flowing along that side.
I did climb down, which was not easy.
It is the only way to get a good view of the falls.
Even with out a lot of water the geography was very interesting.
I would not be standing here if more water was coming over the falls.
Looking down stream the flat wide riverbed continues.
There was a curved section that dropped off and looked pretty neat.
I know it does not look as impressive in the pictures.
But with some people in the picture you can get a better idea of the size of this nice natural amphitheater.
So it was time to start climbing back up to the trail.
Ahhhhhhh, New Jersey !!!!!!
OH, Wait, ..... I am in Pennsylvania !
This was the only waterfall I could find in the area.
the other ones were a lot further North.
Here is BucksCounty.org with a winter picture of the falls.
Here is another nice winter picture on Panoramio.
Here is a picture with a lot of water coming over the falls, but it is not very big.
So that is Ringing Rocks Park in Upper Black Eddy, Bucks County, PA.
A nice place to visit with some interesting stuff to see.

I know you like this town too Ben.
This is an old Odd Fellows Hall from 1889 in Cranbury.
Nice sign.
And I concur !
They must have had a run or walking event here in Cranbury.
We were here on Sunday afternoon, on Father's Day.
The blue sign was right where I wanted to park.
But beings I was on a motorcycle I shared the space.
This building is for sale actually.
Some interesting history on richardgrubb.com.
"In 1889 the Middlesex Lodge No. 90 of the International Order
of the Odd Fellows constructed the Cranbury Odd Fellows Hall.
Local fraternal organizations, including the Freemasons, the
Eastern Star, and the Lady May Rebekah Lodge, also used the
second floor meeting room into the late 1900s."
They have a picture of this building from 1936, but it does not look any different.
Except today it is in color !
I had never looked into the Odd Fellows before.
They do have a website and their official name is Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
Their history and name are quite interesting and I had wondered how they got their name:
"The Independent Order of Odd Fellows began in 18th Century England, it was
deemed odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in
need without recognition and pursuing projects for the benefits of all mankind."
They follow the motto of: Friendship, Love and Truth, which is what the three chain links stand for.

I had taken the next day off from work to visit friends of ours who's son had graduated college.
They were staying in Wildwood, NJ.
Pictures of that later !
I do not like dropping Tags at the shore during the summer because of the crowds.
But I had a place on the way I had been wanting to do.
I thought this was just a nice old house with a fancy color motif.
But it turns out this is an historic building in Dennisville.
I am not so sure the color is historic, but I could be wrong.
I had seen this sign the previous times I was here and I thought it was for the house, but it did not make sense.
Until I saw this in the back yard.
There are other antique shops along this road in this small town.
This is the back of the house.
Nice front door.
The Nathanel Holmes House from 1810.
And this is Nathaniel Holmes Privy !
Also an historic building !
Information about the construction on the Library of Congress, Historic American Buildings Survey.
The Holmes family is a well known local family and this house was built for the patriarch of that family.
And Nathaniel Holmes Privy on the same site. ............ HONEST !
Some more pictures inside and out, on ancientfaces.
Which shows the house was probably painted white originally.

Wildwood, NJ
Not my favorite place during the summer.
But I was surprised at how few people were here.
Although we were here on a Monday and now I am told it gets really crowded after school lets out.
So we had a nice time in spite of my preconceptions.
Here is what I found interesting.
Which will be broken up into several posts, and you know why!
There is the old and the new.
This was a nice throwback sign.
An interesting new water park sign.
Different water park.
This nice whale mural was done by the same artist as the one I posted back on page 76.
This one was done in 1993 and also signed Wyland.
If you road a Neon Lime Green Bike like this anywhere else you would be laughed off the street.
But it is perfectly acceptable Down the Shore.
These things ride up and down the boardwalk.
You can ride one for $3.00 one way.
The same sign I posted on page 26.
And here we reached the Southern end of the Wildwood Boardwalk.
The next town south is Wildwood Crest.

We had walked most of the Boardwalk South to the end.
Wildwood Crest has a cement bike path and goes almost 1 mile.
The Boardwalk in Wildwood is almost 2 mies long.
The Tram Car rides on the boards.
North Wildwood also had a cement path for walking and also looks like it is used as a Sea Wall.
That is about 1 mile long and goes pretty much to the Northern end of the island.
The pictures in the previous post were walking South.
I took more pictures walking back North !
The start of the Southern end of the Boardwalk.
One of several Amusement Piers along the Boardwalk.
This painting was made for Bobby Rydell who sang "Wildwood Days".
Here is a YouTube video of that song with some "vintage" beach pictures.
A nice old neon ice cream cone sign.
Frankie Avalon getting an ice cream cone from Kohr Brothers.
I really, ..... REALLY wanted to stay and get some night pictures of these signs all lit up.
But we had to leave before I could do that.
I would need a tripod anyway, which I did not have.
So I guess another trip needs to be made !
I don't know how I missed some of this stuff walking past it the first time !
Mack's is said to be the best pizza on the Boardwalk.
I found out where Hulk Hogan retired to !
A nice old sign at Curley's Fries.
One of the rides people were screaming on !
Don't feed them, they just take what they want,.... right out of your hand if necessary !
And thus we reach the North end of the Wildwood Boardwalk of Fame and Happiness !
Going through the Arch of Happiness.
The other side welcomes you as you become one of The Happiest People In The World.
Wildwood has been around for quite a while.
Officially becoming a borough in 1895 its popularity as a seaside resort started at
the same time the Garden State Parkway was being constructed from 1952-56.
Cape May was the previous hot spot at the shore down in the peninsula of New Jersey.
Wildwood Historical Museum has a lot of great old pictures and plenty of tabs with more information.
Check out their "Historical Wildwood Videos" under the "Our Island" tab at the top left.
The Tram Cars used in Wildwood were the ones built for the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York City.
In 1949 Gilbert Ramagosa bought five of them to use on the Boardwalk.
And now they are an iconic part of Wildwood, NJ.
And another great website called Hometown Wildwood.
However, no one seems to know, or want to share what they know, about how Wildwood got its name !
It was originally named Five Mile Beach. Probably because the island is that long North to South.
1870 - brought about fishermen coming to the island and calling it Anglesea.
1874 - brought about Hereford Inlet Lighthouse, page 18.
1880 - Aaron & Sarah Andrews (whose health brought them here) were shown land by John Burke, a realtor
from Vineland, NJ. They later joined with Nelson Robert, Latimer Baker, and Robert Young, and in 1885
the Holly Beach City Improvement Co. was founded and Holly Beach Borough was incorporated.
1881 - three Burke brothers bought land north of Holly Beach and created the Wildwood Beach Improvement Co.
(Hard to believe this island was covered with trees at one time.)
1900 - The first Boards were laid out right on the sand and 1903 brought the first elevated boardwalk as we know it today.
1912 - Holly Beach and Wildwood companies merged and created Wildwood.
The center of the Boardwalk is close to Schellenger Ave, so I will put that location on my map.

Turns out that 1/2 mile of the Boardwalk is actually in North Wildwood.
Yes, they do divide the towns up down here.
And they each have their own unique character.
North Wildwood's Beach Patrol is right at the beach !
Which makes sense of course !
They have several of these old Beach Patrol Life Boats you can sit in for picture opportunities.
The number is for 13th Avenue.
We had other friends staying around in this area so we got together and sat on the beach for a while.
Over the dunes is the beach in North Wildwood.
Looking North.
Looking South.
Wildwood has some of the widest beaches in New Jersey.
You can fit a lot of skin on these sands.
I don't much like the beach.
You get sand everywhere, even if you do not touch it.
I had it on my neck !
Plus I burn pretty easily so I felt like a piece of bacon in a hot frying pan !
Not much wave action going on here today.
The beach patrol out doing their job.
Thank you.
Everyone was wanting to see a nice sunset at Sunset Beach in Cape May.
I posted pictures here on page 32.
And the Concrete Ship S.S. Atlantus on page 80.
But clouds were covering the horizon so this was as good as it got.
The ship on the horizon is one of the Cape May-Lewes Ferry boats.
The black rhombus on the left is the S.S. Atlantus.
We left around 10:30 and we were home at Midnight.
Took a shower to get the rest of the sand off and went to bed.
And thus ended a nice long day at the beach.

I was able to get out and ride again this weekend.
This is not normal for me to be able to ride pretty much every weekend.
Then again, I have stuff piling up around the house that needs to be done !
First stop on Saturday, after taking care of some other business, was finding this memorial.
The address is listed as Mannington.
Like Mannington Flooring Mills, which ironically is located here !
Or perhaps that is not such a coincidence !
I also did not realize that Mannington Township was so big.
Then again, I had never heard of Mannington Township, NJ before !
Fenwicks Grove Memorial.
The other side explains why this memorial is here.
So I was wondering if Major John Fenwicke is buried right here in this little triangle between roads.
And just how much land did this guy own, because we are about 6 1/2 miles from the town of Salem, NJ.
I had also never heard of New Jerssie mentioned as New Cessaria before either !
Although back in the day this was considered West Jersey.
I like the basis of his government.
1. The defense of the royal law of God, His Name and true worship, which is in spirit and in truth.
Sounds familiar.
Sounds like America was settled by different people for the same reasons.
2. The Good, Peace and Welfare of every individual person.
Makes two great foundations.
I found the name of the road interesting, especially in light of the inscription on the memorial.
Compromise Road forks off to the left here off of Route 45.
NJ-45 is the road between Woodstown and Salem.
It looks like Compromise Road may have been part of an older road between the two towns.
I saw what looked like an older foundation below the memorial.
And I had also noticed that it looked like there had been plaques on here at one time.
You could see four spots that looked like where they were glued on.
Then I saw this on the other side which I did not see at first.
So this has been restored.
What is nice out here in Salem County is the vast amount of farmland you still see.
Hence, The Garden State !
And I must say, the roads my GPS took me on to get here were great.
An easy read on Waymarking about John Fenwick, which states that he is indeed buried near this memorial.
Information about Salem County including of course John Fenwick and a picture of his signature and seal, which still exists.
If you are into history here is a great, long, reading on the Early History of Salem County, New Jersey.
And this is considered the first English Settlement along the Delaware River.
The Dutch and Finns were here shortly before Fenwick and further up the Delware River.

I had just read about this tiny Jewish Synogague and I had wanted to see it.
It is called Garton Road Shul.
As best I can tell this was built in 1890 by Russian Jews who came to America for the same reasons as John Fenwick.
It is located on Garton Road.
A Shul is another name for a Synagogue.
More specifically it is a Yiddish word for School.
And according to the article I linked below it was used for both purposes.
There was a crack in the vinyl siding which showed an asphalt shingle siding underneath.
And seeing an older picture of this building shows it was once dark with light trim.
Pictures of the inside were difficult.
I looked in the right front window and saw narrow stairs.
I had been wondering about the height of the building and the curious high window on the front and the ones on the sides near the front.
Turns out that the stairs lead to a balcony covered by a curtain and that is where the women would sit.
The Israelites always had separate areas for the Priests, then the men, then the women, and then for the Gentiles, so I did not find this unusual when I read it.
Here is a great read by the Jewish Federation of Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem Counties which gives the entire history of this unique old building.
Here is another nice article by West Jersey Time Traveler.
A website called Lemon Lime Moon with a section on Tiny Synagogues of New Jersey has a picture of this building before the vinyl siding.
He has this Synagogue located in Rosenhayn, which it is very close to.
It currently has a mailing address of Bridgeton.

After church on Sunday, and a short nap ! I road to Salem again.
I road right past Mr. Fenwick on the way.
I went to see this recreation of an early Swedish Cabin.
This cabin is not that old and is rotting apart, even above ground,
so it is no wonder none of the early buildings in New Jersey survived.
Termites love this stuff !
The sign above the door says Brown's Cabin.
But I could not find any information about a Mr. Brown in Salem.
A replica well.
And very shallow.
And I sure would not want to drink out of it !
The back of the cabin.
I tried taking a picture of the inside through a big gap in the logs to see if the floor was dug out, but I could not tell.
It looks like an eye is looking back at me in the center of the picture !
The information they have posted at the cabin.
Sorry, but the right edge of the paper was warped and unreadable, but you can decipher it pretty easily.
When I looked this up it was listed as Johan Printz Park Log Cabin.
I was not aware that most of the town of Salem, NJ is considered an Historic District !
Plenty of history down here.
Salem, NJ is full of old interesting houses from many different time periods.
This cabin is just south of Fenwick Creek.
I found a little information in a book called The Delaware Adventure on pages 57 & 58.
It states that Johan Printz was a most important Governor of New Sweden and also has a picture of this cabin with grass on the roof.
Art and Architecture of New Jersey also has a grass roof picture of this cabin with a sign out front that says Ivy Point.
They also state this was built in 1988 on the 350th anniversary of the settling of New Sweden.
And some good information about Johan Printz on Wikipedia.
I am a little confused about the history of Salem when you throw Johan Pritz into the mix.
The town of Salem, NJ was laid out by John Fenwick in 1675.
Fenwick was an English Quaker.
Johan Printz was a Governor of New Sweden from 1643 to 1653.
Printz was Swedish and led an interesting and mobile life in his earlier years to places like Germany, Austria and Denmark.
From what I can gather New Sweden was mostly in what is now the State of Delaware centered at Fort Cristina which would be just East of Willmington, DE.
But their land seemed to also encompass parts of what are now Philadelphia and some of South Jersey.
He even built himself a two story log home on Tinicum Island in the Delaware River just south of present day Philadelphia.
But there seems to be no mention of Johan Printz in Salem, NJ history, except for this replica cabin.
The Dutch were already in much of Southern New Jersey at this time in what is now Gloucester and Camden Counties.
I did not realize why they built forts except for protection from the Native Americans, except that
the Dutch and Swedish settlers were both friends with the local natives, but apparently not with each other.
Then the English arrived and settle Salem !

I forgot to mention that on my ride down to Salem I had a close encounter with a deer !
I was riding down the road minding my own business when I see this light brown blur in the shape of a deer to the front right of my bike.
And I mean it was a blur !
I was looking ahead to a traffic light.
I never saw the deer cross the road.
But I doubted it could make that kind of about face on asphalt.
It must have been coming towards me from my front right and saw me and made a swift left turn.
It didn't slip on the pavement, which was good, because it would have fallen right in front of me.
I never did see it go anywhere either !
I saw the blur and it was gone just as fast.
I wanted to publicly thank God that He protected me.
That would have been really bad to hit one at about 45 MPH.
And I know it was close because I could hear it's hooves on the pavement !

Next stop was Quinton's Bridge.
Yes, way down here there was a Revolutionary War Battle.
Actually this is not that far out of the way when you consider Philadelphia is just up river and both sides were foraging for provisions.
I am standing on the Southern side of Alloways Creek.
The bridge is NJ-49.
Which looks more like a river down here.
This is looking Eastish up river.
This is looking West down river.
There is no crossing this section of the creek without a bridge or a boat.
Just South of the creek is a monument I had on my list of things I wanted to see.
I was curious as to what those two posts with rings on them were for.
The monument behind gives some more facts about the battle here and the men involved.
Always good to remember those who served faithfully and bravely during such times.
There is a small parking lot by the creek, and that is where I parked.
This had been a recent Tag too, so I got a picture of the sign with my bike in it.
Barely !
Information on Revolutionary War New Jersey, Quinton.
Information on the battle here on Discover Salem County.
It states that 1,000 British Regulars and Hessians with 500 Tories attacked 300 Salem Militia.
But believe it or not the 300 held out and the British moved down river to Hancock's Bridge.
I posted pictures from Hancocks Bridge on page 15 and also page 58.

Interviews with Todd continue to roll in. Here's two more for you to check out.
At IGN, Todd sat in their "Hot Seat" to answer burning questions — both gaming and non-gaming related. Here's a sample:
IGN: Does your work say anything about you?
Todd Howard: That I've never really grown out of my love of the 100 hour adventures of my Apple 2 days. The ones I would go to bed dreaming about solving. I crave moments of discovery in games, the moments of "can I do this?" and the sense that I have found something no other player has. I want my games to have that. I want length and depth and hint books that can kill a child if dropped on them.
More stuff after the jump…

By Curt firstname.lastname@example.com Clayton State University officials said Monday the school is still accepting children who want to participate in one of three summer camps taking place at the school in July. The camps are for local children who are interested in learning what is under the sea; about the world of acting; and those wishing to play recreational sports, such as dodgeball. CSU will offer the second session of its Youth University camp July 6-24, while its Little Lakers Day Camp, and Stage and Screen Week, will be offered July 13-17. The registration window for Little Lakers Day Camp, which is offered by the school's Recreation and Wellness department, will be the first to close, however. Camp Coordinator Hakim Groomes, also the university's assistant director of recreation and wellness, said parents have until Wednesday, at 5 p.m., to sign up their children for the week-long, sports-themed day camp. The camp is for children ages 7-14. It will last from 9 a.m., to 4:30 p.m., each day, and take place at the school's Student Activities Center. Activities include: flag football; dodgeball; tennis; soccer, and volleyball, according to a schedule for the camp that is posted on the Recreation and Wellness Department's web site, http://adminservices.clayton.edu/intramurals/. "We noticed that the recreation centers in Clayton County were offering summer camps for kids, but they were full early on" Groomes said. "We just wanted to make it [the day camp] available so more children could participate in a summer camp." Groomes also said the enrollment cost for the camp is $135, although early care and late care will be available for parents who need to drop off their children early, or pick them up late. Early care costs $30, and lasts from 7:45 a.m., to 9 a.m. Late care also costs $30, and it lasts from 4:45 p.m., to 6 p.m. Parents who need both early and late care can pay a discounted, combined rate of $45, Groomes added. Groomes said parents can download a registration form from the Recreation and Wellness Department's web site, and fax it to his office at (678)466-4977. For more information on the camp, call Groomes at (678) 466-4973. Meanwhile, registration is ongoing for the Continuing Education Department's two camps: Youth University, and Stage and Screen Week. Youth University is a camp the Continuing Education department offers in two sessions each summer. The first was held June 8-26. In May, Continuing Education Program Coordinator Seth Davis said the second session, which will begin next week, will have an underwater theme, and campers will study plant and animal life in bodies of water ranging from rivers to oceans. The cost for Youth University is $499 per child, according to university spokesman, John Shiffert. It will run from 9 a.m., to 5 p.m., each day. Stage and Screen Week will give teenagers, who are interested in acting, an opportunity to participate in a week of sessions led by local, professional actors, said Continuing Education Administrator Christy Slaton. It is open to children who will be in the seventh- through twelfth-grades during the upcoming school year. The camp will run from 10 a.m., to 5 p.m., each day. "It's like a little acting workshop," Slaton said. "They [the professional actors] will share acting tips during the camp." The cost to participate in Stage and Screen Week is $249 per child, according to Shiffert. Slaton said Youth University will be held if at least 20 children are signed up, and the Stage and Screen Week camp will be held if at least 25 youths are registered. She also said registration for both camps is ongoing until the camps begin. Davis, the coordinator for both Youth University and Stage and Screen Week, was out of his office on Monday and unavailable for comment, Slaton said. For more information about either Continuing Education camp, call (678) 466-5050.

Craft projects to make using Bones
Bones are rigid organs that constitute part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. They support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and store minerals. Bone tissue is a type of dense connective tissue. Bones come in a variety of shapes and have a complex internal and external structure, are lightweight yet strong and hard, and serve multiple functions. One of the types of tissue that makes up bone is the mineralized osseous tissue, also called bone tissue, that gives it rigidity and a coral-like three-dimensional internal structure. Other types of tissue found in bones include marrow, endosteum, periosteum, nerves, blood vessels and cartilage. At birth, there are over 270 bones in an infant human's body, but many of these fuse together as the child grows, leaving a total of 206 separate bones in a typical adult, not counting numerous small sesamoid bones and ossicles. The largest bone in the human body is the femur and the smallest bone of the 206 is the stapes.From Wikipedia

Film: "Mary Kom"; Cast: Priyanka Chopra, Darshan Kumar, Zachary Coffin, Robin Das, Shakti Singh; Director: Omung Kumar.
It's that life-defining moment when a character on screen transforms totally into a real life personality. We've seen Seema Biswas, Ben Kingsley and Farhan Akhtar metamorphose into real life characters in front of our bewildered eyes.
Now it is Priyanka Chopra. She virtually transforms her physicality before entering the spirit and the soul of boxing champ Mary Kom (MC).
And what a grand entry!
Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Priyanka as the gritty volatile boxer from Manipur who won't take no for an answer, even from god. Penetrating a male domain like boxing in a gender-defying swoop, Priyanka's MC takes us on a voyage of self-discovery where a plucky poor girl from rural Manipur goes right to the Olympics. It's an incredible story filled with sound and fury signifying something deep and seductive, just waiting to be told.
Hats off to debutant director Omung Kumar for bringing us one of the most inspiring biopics to have ever reached the silver screen.
"Mujhe bronze pasand nahin aata," barks MC's coach. As we see Mary's dreams come true in front of our eyes, we know she was born to win.
The narrative has a soaring quality and texture. It simply takes off with scarcely any room for breathing space. The breathless quality of storytelling goes well with the protagonist's stormy mercurial nature.
As MC' story unravels in a flashback we meet a woman who is not affected by gender rules and discrimination that governs our society.
Very early in the tightly clenched narrative, we see MC get into a full-fledged scuffle with a school bully. Later she takes on another far more dangerous bully who threatens to destroy her boxing career. In and out of the arena Mary never stops fighting.
"The rest of the world may be round. But your world is this square ring," her coach reminds her pointing to the boxing arena. The struggle, as depicted in the stunning unspoilt northeastern terrain of Manipur, captured with mesmeric intensity by cinematographer Keiko Nakahara, is manifold. Here it is a curse to be born a girl. And to be born a girl who wants to be a boxing champ!
You have to be kidding.
Admirably the narrative doesn't over-sentimentalise MC's struggle. This is "Mother India" without the glycerine and melodrama. As played by Priyanka, MC is both gritty and giggly, plucky and precocious, a ferocious fighter and a tender mother.
Priyanka expresses every shade of her character with a pitch-perfect bravado. Her northeastern accent could easily have become caricatural. The actress controls curbs and quantifies every component of her character's personality without losing that basic element of spontaneity without which Mary would have become mechanical.
I dare any other actress to play MC the way Priyanka has. Even Hilary Swank would have been stumped by MC'S mystical mix of the girlish and the aggressive. Priyanka gets the point.
My favourite sequences are the ones where MC shares tender marital moments with her husband. If it's vital for a career woman to get a supportive husband, it is equally essential for a film starring a female hero to have a co-actor who can play yin to her yang. Newcomer Darshan Kumar suffuses the screen with such supreme spousal sensitivity. He is a talent to watch.
Predictably enough a lot of the opposition to MC's dreams is shown to come from within her home. The skirmishes between MC and her father (Robin Das) and MC's gender battle with the slimy executive of the boxing federation (played with diabolic relish by Shakti Singh) are exceptionally filmy', and I use that word in the truest cinematic sense.
The picturesque narrative, the richly flavoured music composed by Shashi Suman and Shivum (watch out for the poignant lullaby sung by Priyanka), the rapid fire editing, the framing of the shimmering shots and the incredibly aesthetic use of rich colours bear the unmistakable stamp of producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is billed as Creative Director.
"Mary Kom" is a motivational masterpiece. From first frame to last it grips your senses and irrigates the parched corridors of your heart like very few biopics in recent times. Kumar weaves seamlessly in and out of Mary's remarkable life creating a work that is as dramatic as Mehboob Khan's "Mother India" and as inspiring as Richard Attenborough's "Gandhi".
Priyanka's powerhouse performance knocks the breath out of our solar plexus. She yet again proves herself the best actress of her generation.
Hereafter there will be an eternal confusion about whose face goes on the hoardings announcing Mary Kom's boxing events.
PC or MC?
