Return to the Table of Contents
No periodical information appears to be available. Organization founded by Rumer Godden, James Haynes-Dixon and Erica Marx to promote public interest in poetry as an oral art - specifically to `bring poetry back to the people'. For statement of purpose see Ser. 1. Original plans included readings to be held in various stately homes, the poems chosen to correspond with the period of the setting, and for readings in the provinces with poems to relate to local artists and interests, as well as public readings in numerous London art theatres, libraries and auditoriums. The long-run intention was to focus on contemporary authors, especially those who lacked public exposure and to make a strong effort to encourage as well a greater interest in poetry of other peoples and nations, e.g. Australian and American Negro works. The hope was that readings would take the place of after-dinner speakers and would be unusual. The society frowned upon the practices of the Apollo Society, then a going concern, for what was felt to be a narrowness of scope and a sentimental, limited approach. In a particular desire to appeal to the young and the `man in the street' they organized inexpensive lunch-time readings at Foyle's Bookshop and similarly became involved in various charity readings. Working upon the principle that the poet himself was the least successful public interpreter of his own work, they engaged professional readers and actors for each occasion, although an attempt was made to secure the presence of the poet in question, who was usually requested to talk a little about his writing. The company had not completely met with the public acclaim they desired as of 1959 when Erica Marx resigned, but did perform an interesting Series with some programs being uniquely successfull. The company suffered numerous organizational problems, which the correspondence in particular very nicely reveals.
For a brief descriptive history of the organization, see the serial The Private Press, Spring, 1970 (Spec. Z990, P7) Article by Eric White describes origins and development. Society still active. Original directors included Joseph Compton, Basil Blackwell, R.W. David, T.S. Eliot, Sir George Rostrevor Hamilton, and Erica Marx. Eric White, then an associate of the Arts Council of Great Britian, was made secretary early in the society's development and still retains the position. Organization not to be confused with the Poetry Society; for dispute over name that ocurred due to similarity, see folder 16. The PBS records are source of a little information on publishing business and book distribution.
Standard biographical and bibliographical information on Erica Marx may be found in Contemporary Authors. Primarily a publisher and promoter of the arts rather than a practising artist, she operated Les Press de l'hotel Sagonne in Paris from 1938-1940 and 1945-1947. In addition, she was the sole proprietor of the Hand and Flower Press from various locations in Kent from 1940-1963, affording many young poets their first appearances. Largely an experimentor, with a particular interest in poetry, her primary concerns seem to have been in attempting to reach those in the public who either could not afford to buy books of poetry or who scorned poetry in large measure. Of particular renown is the Poems in Pamphlet Series, which ran for [3?] Series of 10-11 each, 1951-1953. Each pamphlet included upto 40 poems by one author but sold for a very small price.
Erica Marx published under the Hand and Flower imprint two books of her own verse. The first of these, Escape from anger, was issued as #11 in the 1951 pamphlet Series, under the pseudonymn Robert Manfred. The second, Some Poems, was published as a separate slim volume, in 1955. In the same year, she edited with Patric Dickinson and J. C. Hall, the P.E.N. Anthology.
She was one of the original guarantors and directors from 1955-1959 of the Company of Nine, a group dedicated to the promotion of poetry as an oral entertainment, and a director of the Poetry Book Society from its inception in 1954 to her resignation in 1957. From 1954-1957 she also helped operate M Plates Ltd. which was concerned with a printing process. Throughout her publishing career, she was an active member in numerous London literary and musical societies.
As of 1959, she was reported to be living in England's only converted Thames barge. In 1963 she sold the press and launched herself into "Private research into Radiesthesia, paraphysics and sonic therapy in an attempt to acquire a greater understanding of the relationship between mind and matter." (C/A)
The Rare Book Department holds copies of Escape from anger, and Some Poems and several Hand and Flower Press publications; of special note, Poems in Pamphlet.

Southern Vance students host elementary math competition
Top fifth-grade math students from nine different elementary schools in Vance County competed in a math competition Thursday afternoon.
For the second year in a row, Southern Vance's math club hosted the competition, working since the beginning of the year to write and compile questions for individual and team tests.
"The students, they've been coming up with questions since January," said Jameil Floyd, who teaches math, physical education and also heads up the math club at Southern Vance.
All Vance County elementary school teams were present with the exception of E.M. Rollins and Carver. Henderson Collegiate was also in attendance.
Ten students, making two teams of five, represented each school.
"How we're going to tally up the scores is, the top three individuals from each school, we take their points and then we add them with points they get from the top team," Floyd said. "So each school has two opportunities to win the team competition, and then they have 10 opportunities to receive top individual student."
Haley Orr, a senior at Southern Vance who plans to study pre-law at Kent State in the fall, heads the math competition event committee and directed the event.
"The first test is always very serious, but the second exam, where they get to work cooperatively, is really fun and they seem to really enjoy that one more," Orr said. "The questions on the second exam are more kid-friendly to start with. Not in terms of the math, it's still the same level of math, but in terms of the subject matter, it's not as serious.
"Most of them if you read them, are about cartoon characters."
Also helping to organize the event was Justin Williford, a sophomore math club member at Southern Vance.
"Justin compiled all the questions to create the test," Floyd said. "He took all the questions that were submitted and then created this beautiful test."
Students had a time limit for individual tests, which included 30 different questions. Team tests, also timed, were made up of 10 questions.
"Team tests, it's 10 questions, but they're paired off, so you have to get the correct answer for number one to answer number two," Floyd said. "You have to get the correct answer for number three for number four and so on."
Members of Southern Vance's math club also acted as proctors, silently monitoring test takers.
"They work hard, considering some of the stuff we put on the test isn't under their curriculum," said Ebony Smith, a senior at Southern Vance. "They took it on really well. They are willing to work hard on each question."
"Surprisingly, I've seen them get a lot of them right."
Annie Bullock, a test proctor and senior at Southern Vance, was also impressed with her observations of the young students' capability.
"For their ages, they're doing excellent for this kind of math," Bullock said. "You can really tell they care about math."

Skin Asthma
Have you guys heard about this? My kids have rushes and most of the people told me that it is skin asthma. I have consulted with a doctor and they recommended a cream but still their rashes continue. My hubby already wants to consult a dermatologist.
Any suggestion is very much appreciated.
I had honestly never heard of skin asthma before so I went and looked it up. It would seem that it is simply another term for atopic dermatitis, and as such is the same as many other skin conditions that respond badly to stress and often allergenic substances.
The only way to ease it would be avoiding those things.
I did a web search as well, as I had never heard of this. The common thing seems to be moisturize and use gentle detergents. Using high quality lotions such as Aquaphor, Cetaphil, Nutraderm, and Jergen's ultra healing is recommended. I also saw mention that coconut oil was helpful to some people, but with the obvious issue of smelling like a tropical island. They make lots of good gentle detergents free of dyes and perfumes these days though so that should be much easier than it could have been even ten years ago. The big issue seems to be dealing with the skin cracking and germs getting in the cracks. However there seems to be some chance they can grow out of it just like lung asthma, but seeing a derm might be helpful to determine if it really is skin asthma or not.
Skin asthma
Skin asthma refers to When chronic inflammation occurred in the skin although it is non-contagious, it is medically called as Atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema.
Symptoms of Skin Asthma
* Ear discharge,
* Itchy and dry skin,
* Skin lesions on the cheeks mostly in infants.
Causes of Skin Asthma
* Atopic eczema,
* Allergic rhinitis,
* Poor Nutrition,
* Hereditary,
Prevention for Skin Asthma.
*Don�t smoke,
*Avoid being stressed,
*Have an adequate time of sleep,
*Avoid s milk, nuts, cheese, tomatoes, wheat, yeast, and corn,
*Avoid dust, and dusty places since it triggers the asthma.
Inspire Internet Marketing
Skin asthma usually occurs when the baby is exposed to allergens or when they ingest food that they cannot process properly.
My friend makes a great product that helped a great deal with my sons eczema. It's a baby bath soak. He's been making and selling it for years and is getting ready to start selling online. Here is a link to his site, contact him and ask him to send you some, tell him Doty sent you.

Style: FMA, Jujutsu/Judo/SAMBO--
Yeah, quality is definitely more important than quantitiy. One good punch is better than 100 shitty ones on the bag, or in a fight. If you can't crank out 100, do less, but make sure they are good hard, crisp shots. The jabs should have pop. The crosses, hooks, bolos, and overhands should have KO power to them. Once again, if something isn't working, SLOW IT DOWN. Focus on that technique, and don't just grind through it sloppily.
But once you have it all down, shoot for 100+ punches good per round for cardio. If you can go higher, then do it. I tend to average more like 150 for my early rounds, then go down to about 120 by the latter. I treat the bag like an opponent. I like to visualize attacks coming in, slip them, flurry several comos, angle out, come back in, bob and weave, flurry again. I try to avoid just grinding things out, and really work on explosive flurries. It works quite well for me.

It's not much, as it has to sit in the corner of my living room, but I recently added shelves and that has helped with the organization. It's enough to get by using hand tools, which is what I do.
Got a Paul Sellers-ish workbench with some holdfasts, a few clamps, a tiny shopvac mounted underneath for cleanup, and just enough tools to get by as I start out.

Honestly, the living room bit is mostly out of necessity, and not by choice. I'd much prefer to have my own dedicated space, but I just don't have the room right now, so here I am.

Festival features films made by Portland students
PORTLAND — Short films created by children from across the city will take center stage this weekend at the Portland Children's Film Festival.
In addition to independent and international films, the festival will feature a red-carpet event honoring the winners of a student film making contest.
The festival runs Thursday, March 29, to Sunday, April 1, at Patriot Cinemas Nickelodeon, St. Lawrence Arts Center, Portland Museum of Art, Zero Station and East End Community School.
The festival was organized by East End Community School parents and teachers who wanted to couple an opportunity for families to view independent and international films with a hands-on program designed to allow children to explore film making.
Leah Coplon, a parent of two East End Community School students who helped put together the festival, said organizers were inspired to create the event by the diversity and creativity of the city and school community.
"We have some really exciting offerings, both in films and workshops. It's a great opportunity to see what's out there," Coplon said. "We're hoping this will continue to grow and really be part of the Portland community."
Films to be shown at the festival include "Azur and Asmar," a critically acclaimed film by Michel Ocelot about two princes on their journey from childhood to manhood, and "Kick Like a Girl," a youth documentary about The Mighty Cheetahs, a girls' soccer team competing in a boys' division.
The festival also features a collection of full-length and short films from the New York City International Children's Festival, including films from Turkey, Ireland, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain, Latvia, Denmark, Canada, Australia, England and the United States.
Hands-on educational workshops include opportunities for children to interact with screenwriters, filmmakers, actors and technicians.
Local artist and community activist Dovid Muyderman will lead a discussion about his current film project from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at St. Lawrence Arts Center. The film, "The Lighthouse," explores his experience as a homeless teenager in Portland. He also will offer a workshop where children and their families can create music videos.
Coplon said one of the most exciting aspects of the festival is the premiere of short films produced by Portland children ages 4 to 11 as part of the young filmmaker's competition.The theme of the contest was "Out and About Portland – In and Around My Neighborhood."
The red-carpet event will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 29, at the Nickelodeon with a reception and screening of winning films. The winning films will be shown again at 12:45 p.m. Saturday at the Portland Public Library.
Kristina Hewey, a kindergarten teacher at East End Community School, helped organize the competition. She said 21 three-minute films were submitted to the contest by students in pre-school to fifth grade.
Films created by students include documentaries, live action, animation, stop-motion and computer-generated graphics. They were created with minimal help from adults.
"It was really amazing to me to see how different all the films were," Hewey said.
Hewey said the contest generated excitement with students, some of whom wanted to make longer films.
"They couldn't believe grownups were giving them this opportunity to make a film. They're excited to share it with a broader audience," she said.
Coplon said her own two children – 10-year-old Raizel and 8-year-old Oscar – loved making films that explore what they like about different Portland neighborhoods. Her son made a film from the perspective of a Lego man, while her daughter explored Portland from a dog's point of view.
Organizers plan to make the festival an annual event and hope it will become a fixture of the city's creative economy, Coplon said. Proceeds will be used for next year's festival and to support arts and enrichment activities at East End Community School.

Yesterday, we began our countdown of the 10 best games of the Canucks regular season. The bottom half of the list fondly remembered top-notch tilts with the Flames, Blackhawks, Stars, Lightning, and Blue Jackets, five games that yielded some classic and/or hilarious moments, and some great entertainment overall. Today, we round out the top five, examining the best of the Canucks' season series with a perennial powerhouse, a surprise blowout, and a nail-biter in Southern California.
5 December 28, 2010: Canucks 6, Flyers 2
As 2010 drew to a close, the Flyers and the Canucks were on top of their respective conferences and running neck-and-neck for the NHL lead. As a result, this match was initially billed as a potential Stanley Cup preview. Most people thought both teams would put on a clinic. Instead, only Vancouver did. The Canucks controlled this game for the full sixty minutes, peppering the Flyers net with 49 shots, and scoring six times on some filthy, filthy plays, including a beautiful bit of patience from Alex Burrows, Jeff Tambellini's last-ever NHL goal (potentially), and Ryan Kesler's classic skee-ball goal.
4 December 22, 2010: Canucks 4, Red Wings 5 (OT)
The Canucks may not have won every game in a rout like they did in the season series with Dallas, but one could argue that the season series with Detroit was still better. Every game was close, there were lead changes galore, the tempo was ridiculously high, and the two teams played such similar systems that, at times, the game was like watching synchronized swimming. Even Detroit's goals were gorgeous. Take, for instance, the opening goal in this game, scored by Dan Cleary. If you can't get behind Brian Rafalski's outlet pass, it's your loss. That's quality. There are only two things keeping this game from being higher on the list: one, the overall beauty was slightly diminished when Pavel Datstyuk broke his hand, and two, the Canucks lost in overtime.
3 November 6, 2010: Canucks 6, Red Wings 4
They won this one, however. Like number four on our list, this game was simply a hockey's lover's dream. The two teams played hockey like it had been choreographed by Jerome Robbins. There were four lead changes. The game had huge goals, such as Manny Malhotra's lovely shorthanded breakaway marker. It had big hits, such as Andrew Alberts levelling Pavel Datsyuk. It also featured one of the Canucks' best third periods of the season: after allowing the Red Wings to break a 3-3 tie only two minutes in, they took the game over, tying the game on a Jannik Hansen goal, then taking the lead for good with two well-executed powerplays.
2 February 4, 2011: Canucks 4, Blackhawks 3
The last matchup of the Canucks' third-best season series saw Vancouver and Chicago play their most even, most entertaining game yet. Blowouts and shutouts are one thing, but a crisp, uptempo nail-biter will win out every time. This game also featured some of Christian Ehrhoff's best moments: first, his opening goal, on a slapshot at the blueline, which led to Ryan Kesler burning him on a high five. Second, the original appearance of the flail snail, Christian Ehrhoff's rage-induced alter ego. Finally, this game had maybe the clutchest of clutch goals the Canucks scored this season, when the Sedins combined for the game-winner on a beautiful give-and-go that bounced over Marty Turco's shoulder.
1 March 10, 2011: Canucks 5, Sharks 4 (SO)
I'm proud to say I attended the best game of the year, a glorious battle between the Canucks and the Sharks that took place during that successful five-game Southern California road trip. It was intense. After the Canucks jumped out to a two-goal lead to end the first, the Sharks came out hard in the second, needing only 2:04 to tie the game. The Canucks would retake the lead only three minutes later, and they would hold it, too, until everything went crazy in the game's final two minutes. First, Torrey Mitchell tied the game on an end-to-end rush. Then, the Canucks took the lead less than thirty seconds later on a Daniel Sedin powerplay goal. Then, with twenty seconds to go, the Sharks would tie the game on a powerplay of their own, sending it to overtime, and eventually, the shootout. It was superbly played hockey throughout, but you can't beat an ending like that.
::: 10 – 6 :::
::: 5 – 1 :::Tags: Blogs are for lists, Canucks, featured, offseason blues, spotlight
For the second best game, Turco was the goaltender, not Corey Crawford. Aside from that, I agree with the first choice, was the most frustrating and entertaining regular season game of the 2010-2011 season. And thanks for keeping up with the Canucks news for the summer. Love you guys.
That San Jose game was the most entertaining hockey game I ever remember watching The only game that beat it this year was Game 7 Chicago, but that was far too nerve-racking which is why I don't consider it as entertaining. Excellent list. Loved reliving it all.
What a great reminder that the Canucks, when they're on their game, are a beautiful team to watch. It really was an enjoyable season. Although I'm sure your top 10 worst games list will throw us all into fits of despair.
Also, there's nothing like Alex Burrows doing the patented Alex Burrows Backhand (TM) move to win the shootout. Go Canucks!

Shadow Yoga and Ayurveda: Creating a Personal Practice Week of December 29-January 3 , 2014
$650.00 – $3,550.00 (based on accommodation type)This workshop's start date has passed.
Workshop Details
Like the whales who gracefully navigate their winter migration down the California coast each year, we must cultivate a fluid mixture of perseverance, clear reckoning, skillful navigation of life's currents, and devotion to arrive at the extraordinary health and spiritual insight that yoga and Ayurveda promise. It is a deeply personal journey that is nourished by a fulfilling and sustainable personal practice. Three essential questions to ask before setting off are: What do I really want in my life? What do I really need? What are the most effective means for tapping into the source of healing and wisdom within myself?
This five-day retreat will explore how to find truly satisfying answers to these questions and encourage a flexible approach to committed practice using the tools of Shadow Yoga and Ayurveda. Shadow Yoga is a Hatha yoga system. A set sequence of Shadow Yoga practices will be taught in a step-by-step progression to promote body memory, refinement, and to facilitate home practice. Ayurvedic classes each day will include education and exercises for developing a personalized lifestyle and diet plan. Ayurveda expert Robert Svoboda will join us for two lectures. For more about Robert, visit www.drsvoboda.com.
All levels are welcome; yoga experience is recommended.

1998 Buick RivieraVisitor, Macomb, MI, November 08, 2010 11:18I bought a 1998 Riviera for my wife new in late 1998. This has been the best car we have ever owned, everything is original and everything works like new. the car now has 142,000 miles 11-8-10. The only thing ever replaced was the normal maintenence items like brakes spark plugs at 100,000, on the 2cnd set of Goodyears, replaced at around 55K, front struts replaced at around 75K. The only bulb or light replaced on this car has been the center brake light. The riv still drives nice and smooth, the seat are soft leather, no rips. Paint is shiny, one of the best cars ever made.
1998 Buick RivieraRollTheBones, Charlotte, NC, January 06, 2009 12:56Purchased off lease in 2001 with 35,000 miles. Car has been trouble-free mechanically. I've replaced the power windows switch on the driver's side, the struts twice, and the battery. Everything else is routine. I now have 132,000 miles on the car. I did recently have the car repainted. GM's clearcoat failed all over the top of the car at 10 years. I have always had an aggravating highway-speed vibration on this car. Using Google to search for possible fixes, it seems that GM has a ton of Park Aves, Cadillac Sevilles, Olds Auroras, Bonnevilles, and Rivieras with the same shake. Multiple sets of new tires, even a new rim have not solved the problem. The shake is just enough to annoy you at 68mph. Other than the shake, the car is beautiful and has held up well.Rookie

I wait about 20 minutes when I delete /usr/ports on an AMD64 with 512MB RAM. An Adaptec 39160 is the controler I use and a u320 HDD is connected to this controler.

Plataforma for many years (since there opening) has been one of the greatest restaurants anywhere to go. Well I am sad to say they are living on there reputation. I ate there yesterday and confirmed the findings as being the same as my last visit - downhill - is the best I can describe it. I live in Yonkers and have a Texas De Brazil there now. I kept telling people that Texas De Brazil was in no way nearly as good as Plataforma, well now I have to say they are actually better. Last evening's visit was very disappointing . I found that the salad bar had been cut back so bad I thought I was in a Ruby Tuesdays. The amount of Meat selections was poor. Yesterday's visit will be my last visit to Plataforma. I am ever so greatfull that Fogo de Chao will be open in just two weeks and just a short distance from Plataforma. It is sad to see such a wonderful restaurant going down the way it has.

First to remark on some other reviews here. One, it is NOT $80/person, but actually $59/person, unless they went on a special night, just check the web site. Two, I arrived without reservation after 8:00pm, it looked hopping, but the 2 of us only waited 5 mins or less for our table. Service and staff were very good, but the only minor thing I noticed is that they rarely smile, even when I saw them singing happy birthday to a person, not one of them smiled and all looked like that had other tables to get to. Service however was very fast and efficient, polite and ever-present, but not warm, caring or personal. Oh, actually, Christine at the salad bar was very friendly and smiled. I tried to let the manager know how great she was to us! The place is clean and well designed, but monotone in color. It could use some candles, flowers and sound absorption! Very loud and conversation can be difficult! I don't understand why soft drinks and dessert are not included in the price, so be prepared to pay extra for them. They have signs on the table to this effect, but still you should know. Again, food was fantastic in selection, quality, taste and temperature. You could easily make a meal of the appetizer bar itself! I'm a foodie and was very pleased overall and will return (on special occasions). We sampled many meat selections, never a repeat before we were so full, we asked them to stop bringing us more. :)

Churrascaria Plataforma is down right fun! It is a real party atmosphere best enjoyed with a group. That being said, you're in for a treat. First go hungry because the food simply does not stop. You begin with a trip to the buffet (hint, the fish including the shrimp are on the OTHER side of the buffet so save room on your plate to add it on.) Once you've had your fill at the buffet, you flip your card to "green" and the meat madness begins. All the meats are good, but, if you have the chance to sample the lamb and the prime rib -- well, they are truly exceptional. Don't pass by the garlic bread (yum)! In fact, ask for 2 pieces, it's that good! Sides really aren't necessary -- you have so much going on with the meat, you'll never really miss it, and, it doesn't make sense to fill up on items such as potatoes. The negatives? Well, it's loud, so, it isn't the place for a romantic date. Some of the groups can be a bit rowdier than others, and, you'll eat so much you'll feel like you're waddling out of the restaurant instead of walking. I look forward to returning soon!
Posted by Julia on 12/13/2010
I ate so much! because it was super delicious. I am a meat lover... Advice: don't jump on the first round of meat. There's a lot to discover after that
Posted by Charlie on 11/08/2010
Loud and busstling, this place has a festive atmosphere with a diverse crowd. But all the food - especially the buffet - is pretty low-end. Some cuts of meat are tasty but they try to fill your plate with low grade cuts, get you full and get you out. For the price you can go to any Steakhouse in NY and eat like a King, so I don't know what the draw is here beyond novelty.
Posted by Anonymous Visitor to plataforma on 07/13/2010
Been going to Plataforma for years and absolutely love the place. It might be expensive but you are paying for an experience in dining as well. The beef is absolutely perfect, always cooked the way I ask, and very tender. The selections of meats is fantastic. I try to limit myself at the salad bar so I can eat more of the main course.
Posted by lou on 06/21/2010
It is $80 per person just for food, NOT including lousy desserts. So if you think you can eat $80 worth of apps and cheap cuts of meat (no prime or aged meat here), go for it. But you likely can't, so you might as well go a great steakhouse, get a $50 steak and a couple of $12 sides and come out on top. Fun idea, but not worth it at all.

very friendly stuff
room bed ans pillows
Buffet breakfast was awesome
This hotel was amazing. The view from the pool chair was luxurious. The food and beverages were mouth watering. The staff was fun, friendly and professional. The hotel itself is one of the nicest I've stayed in.
When they describe a "couch bed" they really just mean you are sleeping on the couch, it is in no way a bed. The town and surroundings are a bit run down but the beach is nice.
It may not be on the waterfront, but it's very walkable from there. Modern, great rooms, clean, great staff, good bar and café. Just an all around great place to stay!

Now that it's over, I wanted to step back and observe a bit, tallying up the trends and themes I noticed throughout the Manhattan Cocktail Classic. More
It's hard to even conceive of a cocktail party more elaborate than the Gala at the Manhattan Cocktail Classic. The kickoff event of the five-day conference, at the New York Public Library on Friday night, spread over three floors of the majestic space, with something different around every corner: multiple dance floors and live bands, photobooths and entertainers, cocktails tucked away in lounges and around corridors. Here's a look at some of the best cocktails, from rum "Re-fashioneds" to canned Campari. More
The Manhattan Cocktail Classic kicks off tonight with the Gala at the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue. Organizers expect to serve something like 22,000 cocktails tonight; prepping that many drinks takes some planning and hard work. I talked to Leo Robitschek, bar manager at NoMad and Eleven Madison Park, about the process of preparing and batching up cocktails for such a large gathering. More
The festive opening night Gala that kicks off the Manhattan Cocktail Classic may be the biggest event in the MCC schedule, but the week offered tons of other opportunities to celebrate cocktails—seminars, dinners, and parties galore. In fact, these smaller-scale events impressed us even more than the grand Gala—it's great to get a chance to focus on just a few well-crafted cocktails, get to know a new spirit or drink-making technique, and enjoy a look behind the scenes without struggling against huge crowds. Here are a few snapshots from the highlights of our MCC week. More
The beautiful New York Public Library was the place to be on Friday night—not for the books, but for a lavish opening night celebration kicking off the 5-day Manhattan Cocktail Classic. Dozens of different cocktails were poured (over 75 different drinks, by our count) for about 3,000 guests. We were on hand to sip (and sip, and sip some more) and snap a few photos. More
3,000 cocktail lovers attended the kickoff of the Manhattan Cocktail Classic at the New York Public Library on Friday, and over 40,000 drinks were served. (That's right, that's about 13.3 cocktails per person...but don't worry, many folks tasted a few sips of each one and the moved on.) More

Winter Fruit Salad with Pomegranates
Winter Fruit Salad with Pomegranates
About This Recipe
|Active time:
|20 minutes
|Total time:
|20 minutes
|This recipe appears in:
|Serious Salads: Winter Fruit Salad with Pomegranates
- 1 pomegranate
- 2 oranges
- 2 grapefruits
- 2 crisp apples (such as fuji or honeycrisp)
- 1 ripe yet firm pear
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Slice the pomegranate almost in half, from the crown halfway to the bottom. Use your fingers to break the two halves apart, then squeeze the halves over a large bowl to release the seeds and juices. Don't worry about getting all the seeds out; just get as many as you can without pulling out the membrane. Squeeze out as much juice as possible. Remove any bits of membrane from the bowl.
For each orange and grapefruit, slice a little off the top and bottom. Using a serrated knife, go around the fruit and cut off the skin and white pith. Holding the fruit in one hand and working over the fruit bowl, carefully cut the segments out from between the membranes. Be sure to cut only until you reach the middle of the fruit. Squeeze the remaining membrane over the bowl to release all the juice.

COLUMBIA CITY — Carol Heinold, food service director, gave the Whitley County Consolidated School (WCCS) Corporation's Board of School Trustees information concerning food prices in the last several years at their work session last week.
"Federal requirements are that we are to try to raise our lunch prices, not breakfast, for the reimbursement rate," said Heinold.
"Last year they told us we needed to raise it a nickel, and that's what they're showing this year."
For kindergarten through fifth grade the proposed change is $1.60.
For sixth grade through eighth grade, the proposed change is $1.75.
For ninth grade through 12th grade, the proposed change is $1.25, and for adults the proposed change is $2.60.
Heinold said the reimbursement amount for a meal is $2.77, but she does not think it will ever be reached due to consistent rising costs.
"I don't know that we'll ever catch it because every year they raise that reimbursement amount two or three cents," said Heinold.

SAN ANTONIO — Steve Silbas, who with his wife, Barabara Wolfe, operated popular live music venues Casbeers and Casbeers at the Church, died Tuesday morning. He was 51.
Silbas was hospitalized last week after suffering a heart attack and a succession of small strokes, according to a close friend. He was moved to hospice care over the weekend.
Wolfe died in December from complications of cancer. She was 53.
Both are being remembered as advocates of Americana, blues and folk music.
At the Sisters Morales reunion concert at the Aztec Theatre on Valentine's Day, Silbas — who had diabetes and heart disease — was hopeful that he would receive a donated kidney. He was on a waiting list.
"I'm just trying to maintain," Silbas said at the event.
Services are pending.
