Carbon School District left it up to principals and teachers at individual schools as to whether to have students watch President Barack Obama's address to students on Tuesday.
Nationally there had been a lot of controversy over the address, but locally it seems schools got through the day quite well with few problems or complaints.
At Mont Harmon Junior High principal Bruce Bean said that the address occurred at the wrong time of day for his students, so the school recorded the speech. They then played it back at a later time because of scheduling conflicts.
"The feedback from the students was positive," said Bean on Wednesday morning. "We only had 13 kids opt out of watching it so we had them go to the library and do some research on past presidents. It was an opportunity and a good day at our school."
At Helper Junior High the speech was not shown.
At Castle Heights Elementary, principal Jan Cox said that of the 494 students in the school 35 opted out of hearing the address.
"We accomodated anyone who did not want to watch the address," she said. "We provided instruction for reading and comprehension strategies for those who did not watch it."
At Wellington Elementary, the choice was left up to the teachers. The speech was shown in the upper grades, and a handful of students brought notes back that they were not to view it.
At Creekview Elementary the school did not show the address to students. The school encouraged parents to view the speech with their kids and discuss it at home.
Bruin Point Elementary in Sunnyside could not view the address because of technical problems.
"When the inaguration took place we tried to stream that in on our T-9 line and that wouldn't work then so we knew this wouldn't come through either," said Missy Bueno, principal of the school. "We don't have cable here so we didn't even send out any notes because we knew there was no way to see it."
Sally Mauro Elementary principal Seth Allred could not be reached for comment concerning what they had done in their school in Helper.
At Carbon High the administration felt that the Labor Day holiday it created a problem with students bringing back permission slips to view the address. Apparently only one student returned the note sent out.
Pinnacle Canyon Academy, a charter school that is not part of Carbon School District, showed the address to the entire studentbody, with only a few students bringing notes that they were not to watch the address. Those students remained in their classrooms and worked on homework.
"It was awesome to be able to show this to the studentbody," said Zena Robison, a school administrator. "The kids were impressed with the president and they all listened intently."

MADRID – In a bizarre whodunit case, the actors in Ken Ludwigs play The Games Afoot keep the audience in stitches, as much as suspense.
The comical murder mystery, The Games Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays, opens Nov. 29 and 30 at the Madrid-Waddington Central School auditorium.
Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes for 20 years, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of celebration during the Christmas holidays.
But when one of the guests is stabbed, the festivities become deadly. Its up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the murderer.
Alex V. Hammond, 17, who plays Mr. Gillette, says the plays pays tribute to many famous works, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyles Sherlock Holmes series, but it is also full of non-stop laughs.
Crazy things happen and people are killed, Alex said. William wants to be like Sherlock, but hes a bit eccentric. Its a lot of fun.
The play is different compared with westerns and in the past.
We havent done a mystery in a while, Alyssa M. Ryan, 16, who plays Madge, said. Its got lots of twists, scandal, and unexpected surprises.
The play pokes fun at the actors at times by making characters overly dramatic and serious while they make contrasting statements about how actors never grow up. There is even a play within a play.
There is a part where my wife, Madge, slaps me. I am going to take it a little bit over the top, Jacob M. Barney, 17, who plays Felix, said.
For the six seniors who make up the eight-member cast, the play marks one of their last performances with the school.
Theater has been my life, Eve M. K. Ruddy, 17, said. Its a reason to come to school some days.
While some schools are famous for sports teams, Madrid-Waddington has become known its onstage performances, the students said.
The whole school gets involved from the captain of the soccer team to the president of student council, Jessica L. LaMay, 17, said.
Crew members include: Liam Miller, light technician, Michael Thew, sound technician, Marlaina Bush, stage manager, Cheryl Squires and Elizabeth Froats, prop technicians, and Emily Cafarella, poster design.
Showtime is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $7 for general admission and $5 for seniors.

Do they use some bull-dinky self-made downloader like Allods and stuff? :/
After reading all the negative publicity of the game in the media I finally managed to get a hold of a key myself.
Obviously there is NDA so I am not going to talk a lot about it really but all I can say is that it's better than I expected it to be.
The only thing that annoyed me a little is the somewhat clunky combat, but the quests are really refreshing after most MMO's we played.
And it's one of the few MMO's with an actual nice story to it, it's one of the few where I actually read what was going on in the quests. I do have to say you play this MMO for the PvE and not for the PvP since the PvP is just a clone of Guild Wars 2.
like i know you're stupid, but i didn't expect you to be downright mentally challenged.
also lol, archeage is a sandpark, not really sandbox but definitely not themepark.

Paul Willson
An argument among campers at the Price Recreation Area last Friday night reportedly resulted in the death of a Salt Lake man.
At about 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 7, a call came into public safety dispatch from women who were at the junction of Utah Highway 191 and U.S. Highway 6. The women indicated that there was a problem at the recreation area.
After Carbon County Sheriff's Office deputies arrived and spoke with the women, they proceeded to the recreation area to find Johnathan Tobey, 20, lying on the ground and not breathing.
"He was cold to the touch so we knew he had passed away," said Capt. Guy Adams, who was with the deputies when the law enforcement officials made the discovery.
Reportedly, a group of five campers from Salt Lake came to the recreation area to celebrate a birthday.
But during the celebration, an argument reportedly erupted concerning a female-male relationship between unidentified members of the group.
After the argument became heated, one male in the group apparently left the camp and started to walk toward Soldiers Summit, where deputies later located him, explained Adams.
The argument reportedly continued and three members of the group decided to leave the area, but Tobey refused to get into the vehicle.
To control Tobey, 22-year-old Paul Willson purportedly got the man down onto the ground and put a hold on the subject.
Adams indicated that Willson told law enforcement officers he realized Tobey was not breathing so he stopped the hold and began to give the subject mouth to mouth resuscitation.
Following the preliminary investigation into the incident, the deputies arrested Willson at the scene in connection with the death.
Willson was booked into the Carbon County Jail on suspicion of manslaughter later that evening.
It appeared that alcohol was involved in the situation, pointed out Adams.
The sheriff's captain said the state medical examiner's office had not determined the cause of Tobey's death at 1:30 p.m. on Monday.
"By the marks on the throat of the victim, I would say that he was apparently choked out," said Adams.
On Monday, bail for Willson was set at $10,000 by Judge George Harmond.
The 7th Distrci Court is expected to set Willson's initial appearance in the case later in the week.

Hi, I'm Kathleen Palmer the new owner of Castle Country Candles. I am a native of Carbon County. I have recently moved back home after living 13 years in Colorado. I have been a loyal Castle Country Candle customer for many years before I bought the company from Paula Lauffer.
Castle Country Candles was created by Paula Lauffer at her Wellington shop in 1999. Paula and her family worked long hours through trial and error to create the perfect candle that would burn all the way down and not lose their fragrance. I know there are many loyal customers like myself that are happy to see that the best candle is back in town. I vow to do my best to keep the quality and excellence along with great selection of fragrances you'll enjoy. Our candles are made from a special blend of natural waxes and have one zinc core wick (no lead). We carry 26 oz, 16 oz., 10 oz., 5oz. and many custom containers. Our prices are low considering the high quality of our candles.
I hand pour and create all of the Castle Country products in my shop in Carbonville. Being a mother of four daughters and a grandmother of 11, I get a lot of input for ideas. Do you remember the scented wax dipped plush animals (perfect for a child's room)? The Aroma Beads (great car freshener)? What about the highly scented reed diffuser oils? Just to mention a few. I have fun making all of these and more.
Have you ever had a job that you totally love to do? Well I am blessed with that job I get to create and have fun while I work so that you can enjoy the wonderful smells that trigger your childhood memories like grandmas house with fresh sugar cookie or the smell of fresh cut tree on Christmas morning. Remember coming home to mom's hot carrot cake or pumpkin spice pie. Don't forget the smell of fresh linen on your bed. Have a pet odor problem? Try our strong lemon or root beer. Guys put a love spell on your special someone with our collection of Victoria Secrets fragrances and leave her endless in love with your sweet temptation to win her heart. If you need a gift for the person that has everything come in and let us help find the right fragrance gift that will make them smile or a gift certificate will do the trick. Don't like the open flame? We offer crocks and warmers to melt your favorite candle or melts. With our reed diffusers the fragrance is carried through the room 24hr with no flame. Aroma beads make a great car freshener or for that stinky locker. We have so many ideas for you to choose from and a special every week. We also offer great money making fund raisers for your group. We do gift baskets for that special occasion. Gift certificate for the "I'm not sure gift".
Come see me at our new location at 11 East Main in Price. Or call us 637-6860 Open Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.Visit us on the Web at www.castlecountrycandles.com. Our email is firstname.lastname@example.com

Based in India, eventNu has hosted over 11,000 events in just the 2 shorts years since their launch and are the only Indian company to be using Tag.
Event organizers can use eventNu's platform to add Tag to their tickets capturing the registration information of each attendee. Registration staff simply scan the Tag on the ticket to verify each attendee's identity, thereby streamlining the event check-in process.
eventNu was using QR codes for about 6 months, but decided to switch to Tag because of the additional functionality that Tag offers, including the ability to customize Tags. They also liked the security in knowing they were using a trusted product backed by the Microsoft name. The eventNu team is so excited about the Tag technology, they are planning to hold mobile tagging bootcamps to educate fellow Indian marketers about the various ways Tag can be used. "Microsoft Tag is enabling us to bridge the gap between digital and real world event. There are a lot of exciting possibilities and I am glad that we are working with Microsoft to unlock true potential," says eventNu's Ruchit Garg.
In the future eventNu is going to offer additional functionality through Tags leveraging the device ID capabilities. Attendees will be able to associate their mobile device with their registration information; organizers can use this to track event attendance and areas of interest, all from knowing which Tags each attendee scanned. They also plan to incorporate it into their tradeshow offerings, letting organizers build contests or giveaways based on scanning multiple Tags at the event venue.
Scan the eventNu Tag to see how they are integrating it into their event check-in process.

The Shaft
2008. China. Zhang Chi. 98 min.
Saturday, January 23, 2010, 4:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
The Shaft
2008. China. Written and directed by Zhang Chi. With Luo Deyuan, Huang Xuan, Zheng Luoqian, Li Chen, Gong Qiya. In Zhang's wise, visually poetic, and wonderfully acted debut, set in a poor mining town in western China, three distinct stories revolve around a father and his two children. When the attractive daughter is accused of an affair with the mine manager, she loses the respect of the workers and her devoted boyfriend; her brother dreams of being a singer, but after an unforeseen stint in prison he reluctantly heads into the mines like his father before him; and their father finally reaches retirement, only to spend it looking for the long- lost first love who left him many years before. Like the industry that plunges deep below the delicate but scarred countryside, The Shaft plumbs its characters' seemingly stoic surfaces to unveil the turmoil of emotions and desires beneath. In Mandarin; English subtitles. 98 min.

BURLINGTON-The North Country Falcons and Stowe Raiders took at 0-0 tie into the second half of Wednesday's Division III field hockey semi-final, and although both teams would score in the second, it would be Stowe emerging as the victor, outscoring North Country 2-1 in the game's final 30 minutes.
Stowe got up 2-0 on goals by Ricki Haab and Mariah Barrows before NCU's Alex Bussiere scored with 2:35 left in regulation to cut the lead to 2-1.
North Country continued to press, but would be unable to find the equalizer, and now Stowe moves on to the finals on Saturday against top-seeded Bellows Falls.

WADDINGTON – The Town Council will allow the St. Lawrence Valley Sportsmens Club to use its vacant property on Whitehouse Bay for gun dog retrieval tests this summer.
The club will use a few acres on Whitehouse Bay for two weekend events in June and July to conduct tests to crown duck- and goose-hunting dogs champions among their breed types.
There will be two land and two water retrieval tests using decoys. The club will not use ammunition or live birds.
The area down there is gorgeous and perfect for what we need, St. Lawrence Valley Sportsmens Club President Kenneth J. Tynon said.
Situated along Route 37, Whitehouse Bay was acquired by the town from the New York Power Authority during a 2003 settlement for NYPAs 50-year license to operate the St. Lawrence-FDR power project in Massena.
Mr. Tynon said the tests will draw several hundred spectators to the bay. There are only two certified clubs in the state, he said. The other is on Long Island. People love to come out and watch the event. The dogs are very family oriented.
About half of the clubs 45 members will participate, and more than 70 percent of participants will come from outside the north country, Mr. Tynon said. You will see some people come from all over from Maine, New Hampshire Canada and Vermont which is good for the area, he said.
The club has been slowly landscaping and installing ponds at its 70-acre property at 25 Sportsman Club Road, Red Mills, for the purpose of training gun dogs. Members hope to have the clubs grounds open by next summer, and hope to be certified as a hunting retriever club by the end of this month. Mr. Tynon said the sport is growing among youths in St. Lawrence County.
One of the reasons we didnt name our club the Ogdensburg Sportsmens Club is we wanted to include the whole area – the whole county, Mr. Tynon said. Were seeing this sports and interest in hunting growing rapidly in our club. Its coming back. Younger kids are starting to really get involved and the numbers are growing in the last two to three years. Its a good thing.

Rise in temperatures & carbon dioxide levels are boosting pollen, extending allergy seasons
DENVER, CO - March 2013 -- There may be different opinions about the causes of climate change, but experts say there is no denying its existence - and the effects are nothing to sneeze at. Researchers say global warming is leading to larger plants, earlier and more robust pollination and, as a result, worsening allergies.
"With the combination of increased temperature and carbon dioxide, we are seeing a dramatic change, and allergy sufferers can probably feel that change," said Richard Weber, MD, an allergist at National Jewish Health in Denver, and president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. "We are experiencing longer allergy seasons, earlier onset and there is just more pollen in the air," he said.
In a compelling publication, Weber cites a series of studies conducted on three continents to illustrate how the changing climate is affecting human allergies. In Great Britain, for example, researchers have identified 385 plant species that are flowering earlier than ever, advancing by nearly a week over the last decade. In the United States, ragweed pollen season has been extended 13 to 27 days; and short ragweed pollen has shown increases in both biomass and pollen production of between 61 and 90 percent. "Pollen counts are going up, and in some cases, dramatically so," said Weber.
Weber's work was published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology last spring.
By the time this spring rolls around, Janet Clement says she will already be in the throes of her symptoms. In years past, Clement says her allergies spiked in mid-April. "Not this year," she said. "You don't typically have allergies in the winter, but this year they got really bad and I was trying to figure out what was going on. In the past I've taken over-the-counter things to try to help them, but I think, really, this year I need something more."
Clement is not alone. It's estimated there are 40 million Americans who suffer from some form of seasonal allergies. Steadily increasing temperatures may only make things worse. "A year ago, we saw pollen counts of certain trees that were about three times higher than what we normally would see in years past," said Weber. "It was awful. Plants that ordinarily were pollinating in April, by the beginning of March, they were going gangbusters."
Unfortunately, earlier and longer allergy seasons will be a reality from now on. "We're in a fairly consistent rise of temperatures that's been going on for the last 150 years," said Weber. "Even if we act aggressively this year or next year, or 10 years from now, it won't have an impact for another 100 years or so."
That's unwelcome news for patients like Clement, who is now seeing a specialist for her allergies. She knew her symptoms had steadily been getting worse over the last few years, but wasn't sure why. "It makes sense," said Clement who works for an environmental company. "I actually never knew I had them so bad until I got tested."
To help control your pollen allergies, doctors at National Jewish Health offer these tips:

MASSENA Government reimbursement that isnt keeping pace with actual costs has forced the closure of Valehaven Home for Adults, 10 Woodlawn Ave.
Weve kept it open because A, we believe in what we do, and B, we were hoping that things would change, owner James E. Kane Jr. said.
The announcement was made to staff and residents on Thursday, Mr. Kane said. At the time the decision was made, the 40-bed facility had 33 residents and a dozen staff.
Valehaven is part of Adirondack Manor Homes for Adults, which is based in Clifton Park and operates 11 licensed adult-care facilities in eight counties.
New York law defines an adult home as a licensed adult-care facility that provides long-term residential care, including room, board, housekeeping, laundry, 24-hour supervision, assistance with medications, personal care assistance, case management services and a structured activity program for people 18 or older.
Mr. Kanes father, James E. Kane Sr., opened his first adult home in 1972 in Utica. The family bought Valehaven in 1974. From that point of view, its an extremely sad, difficult time for us to close the facility, the younger Mr. Kane said.
The primary population of the facility includes people with mental illnesses and those with very little resources, said Mr. Kane, who became involved with the business in 1984 and became owner in 1996.
Adirondack Manor Homes for Adults receives Supplemental Security Income as reimbursement for providing care, he said. Congregate Care Level III SSI pays for adult home and enriched housing program services for those who qualify based on income and assets.
Mr. Kane said the current rate of reimbursement is $1,217 per person per month, or just over $40 a day. The rate has been getting further and further behind the cost of doing business, he said.
For $40 a day, we had to provide 24-hour care, 24-hour supervision, three meals a day, activities and case management, Mr. Kane said. Weve been losing money for several years at that location as a result of that.
The future didnt seem to paint any brighter of a picture, he said.
Were at a point where were looking at a multitude of things, Mr. Kane said. Were looking at a state budget that is upside down. Were not seeing any chance on the horizon of an SSI increase. Were facing Obamacare, which is a big thing for our company. Were facing a minimum-wage increase, which has a significant impact on health care facilities.
He said the company will help residents find new housing.
Its not easy. Were lucky enough that we do have some other facilities, including one in Malone. For those residents that choose that option, we will transfer those that we can to those other facilities. Its always the residents choice, Mr. Kane said.
Employees could also be reassigned if they desire, he said. The problem is most of them are all local people from Massena. For most of them, they would need to completely relocate or drive at a minimum 45 minutes to Malone, he said.
In order to close Valehaven, Mr. Kane said, he had to submit a closure plan to the state Department of Health, which was recently approved. We started this process a couple of months ago, he said.
The closing date has not been finalized, Mr. Kane said, and there are no immediate plans to close other facilities.
Its not a decision we took lightly, Mr. Kane said. We thought about this for two years now and kept delaying it, hoping things would change.

The Hobbitby J. R. R. Tolkien
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This four-volume, deluxe pocket boxed set contains J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterworks The Hobbit and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King). Each book features a leatherette cover with stamped title and all four books are held in a leatherette bound box with gold foil stamping. Shrinkwrapped.
In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in Hobbiton by the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves. He finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon.
The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the dwarf; Legolas the elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider. J.R.R. Tolkien's three volume masterpiece is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale—a story of high and heroic adventure set in the unforgettable landscape of Middle-earth.
This deluxe collector's edition of Tolkien's modern classic is boxed and bound in green leatherette with gold and red foil rune stamping on the spine and cover. The text pages are printed in black with green accents. It includes five full page illustrations in full color and many more in two color in addition to Thror's map — all prepared by the author.
J.R.R. Tolkien's own description for the original edition: "If you care for journeys there and back, out of the comfortable Western world, over the edge of the Wild, and home again, and can take an interest in a humble hero (blessed with a little wisdom and a little courage and considerable good luck), here is a record of such a journey and such a traveler. The period is the ancient time between the age of Faerie and the dominion of men, when the famous forest of Mirkwood was still standing, and the mountains were full of danger. In following the path of this humble adventurer, you will learn by the way (as he did) — if you do not already know all about these things — much about trolls, goblins, dwarves, and elves, and get some glimpses into the history and politics of a neglected but important period. For Mr. Bilbo Baggins visited various notable persons; conversed with the dragon, Smaug the Magnificent; and was present, rather unwillingly, at the Battle of the Five Armies. This is all the more remarkable, since he was a hobbit. Hobbits have hitherto been passed over in history and legend, perhaps because they as a rule preferred comfort to excitement. But this account, based on his personal memoirs, of the one exciting year in the otherwise quiet life of Mr. Baggins will give you a fair idea of the estimable people now (it is said) becoming rather rare. They do not like noise."
This four-volume, deluxe pocket boxed set contains J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterworks The Hobbit and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings (The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King). Each book features a leatherette cover with stamped title and all four books are held in a leatherette bound box with gold foil stamping. Shrinkwrapped.
J.R.R. Tolkien's classic prelude to his Lord of the Rings trilogy — in a charming pocket-sized edition featuring the original cover illustration painted by J.R.R. Tolkien. The Hobbit tells of the grand adventure of Bilbo Baggins as he journeys to the Lonely Mountain with a band of dwarves to reclaim their treasure from the dragon Smaug.

But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
The adventures of the well-to-do hobbit, Bilbo, Baggins, who lived happily in his comfortable home until a wandering wizard granted his wish.

Cobbler Shaker
Posted 10 October 2006 - 12:01 PM
Using the same logic as that of a Julep Strainer straining Juleps, is a Cobbler Shaker used to shake Cobblers?
Would the Cobbler shaker have been used to muddle fruit inside of, and then strain the liquid compound over crushed ice, while at the same time retaining the mess/ gunk?
The Cobbler Shaker has a built-in fine strainer whereas the Boston Shaker does not, this might support my theory that the cobbler shaker was used for muddling fruit and retaining its mangled carcass post-serving.
Any thoughts? or facts?

Thanks anyway.

Can some one please tell me what the "rules" for the Cobbler category is?
By the "rules" I take it you mean, "what you can and can't do, and still call it a Cobbler?".
Originally, the Cobbler seems to have been wine/ spirit, sugar, and crushed ice; this was then garnished lavishly with all sorts of berries and cut fruit. However some people, including Dale DeGroff, like to muddle the garnish beforehand and shake it up with the wine/ spirit, sugar, and crushed ice. This, altough perhaps offensive to some purists, makes for a more interesting drink.
Dale DeGroff's Whiskey Cobbler
* 2 oz. Maker's Mark Whiskey
* 2 lemon wedges
* 2 orange slices
* 2 chunks of pineapple (half inch squares)
* 2 pineapple sage leaves
* 3/4 oz. Orange Curacao
* 1 oz. water
Muddle one piece each of the fruits and the pineapple sage with the Orange Curacao and water in a bar glass. Add ice and whiskey and shake well. Strain into an ice-filled double old fashioned glass and garnish with remaining fruit.
David Embury Quote on Cobblers
"In making any of the Cobblers, the goblet is first filled with fine ice. If goblets are not available an 8- to 10-ounce Highball glass can be substituted. The ingredients of the drink are not separately shaken but are poured over the ice in the glass, the sugar or liqueur first and the wine or spiritous liquor last. The contents of the glass are then churned with a bar spoon until frost appears on the outside of the glass. Straws are then inserted and the drink is decorated with fruit and mint and served."
"Prepare glass with ice as above directed. Add two teaspoonfuls sugar syrup. Fill glass to within 1/2 " of top with the desired liquor and stir. A teaspoonful of pineapple syrup or a few dashes of curaçao are frequently used with the sugar syrup. Also a fruit liqueur, such as maraschino, Cointreau, apricot, or peach, may be substituted for the sugar syrup. With rum, orgeat or falernum will make a pleasing substitute for the sugar."
David Embury is not the man I would rely on to ascertain whether a Cobbler was/ is shaken, but his opinion is always interesting.
Jerry Thomas' Whiskey Cobbler (1862)
Whiskey Cobbler.
Take 1 ½ wine-glass of whiskey.
1 tea-spoonful of white sugar dissolved in a
little water.
1 slice of orange cut into quarters.
1 dash of Maraschino.
Fill the tumbler with shaved ice, shake up thoroughly,
ornament with berries, and serve with a straw.
Basically a Cobbler is whatever you want it to be.

"Canada and the Canadians: In 1846," By Richard Henry Bonnycastle, 1846
"...but he does, I am ashamed to say, admire a sherry cobbler, particularly if
he does not get a second-hand piece of vermicelli to suck it through. Reader,
do you know what a sherry cobbler is? I will enlighten you. Let the sun shine
at about 80 Fahrenheit. Then take a lump of ice; fix it at the edge of a
board; rasp it with a tool made like a drawing knife or carpenter's plance,
set face upwards. Collect the raspings, the fine raspings, mind, in a
capacious tumbler; pour thereon two glasses of good sherry, and a good
spoonful of powdered white sugar, with a few small bits, not slices, but bits
of lemon, about as big as a gooseberry. Stir with a wooden macerator. Drink
through a tube of macaroni or vermicelli."
"The upper ten thousand; sketches of American society. By a New Yorker," By
Charles Astor Bristed, 1852
"take a knife and a lemon, and do as you see me do; don't mind soiling your
fingers. First, you rub the lemon with the back of the knife--that brings out
the essential oil better; then you pare off the rind very carefully, taking
only the yellow, and not cutting into the white at all. Very well. Imbed your
lemon-peel in as much sugar as you would use if making a similarly-sized glass
of punch. Sometimes you will see slices of lemon put into a cobbler--nothing
can be more destructive; avoid everything but the yellow peel. If you will
have something more, put in a slice of orange or pineapple, or a few
strawberries. I think this may be done to good effect in a bowl, but not in a
single glass. Now fill your tumbler half-way with pounded ice. Good. And now
pour in two wine-glasses of sherry. You see we use dark sherry for this, both
for strength and the colour. It makes the mixture of a beautiful golden hue;
with amontillado or Manzanilla it would look too weak. Don't be impatient; we
have to mix yet." He took up one of the spare glasses, covered with it the
mouth of the tumbler which contained the magic compound, and shook the cobbler

Cool stuff, George. Actually, sounds pretty tempting, though I am unclear how you, "Imbed your lemon-peel in...sugar". I know I've seen punch recipes where they tell you to (more or less) zest the lemon by rubbing the yellow peel off onto pieces of loaf sugar. But since they tell you to first remove the peel with a paring knife, that doesn't seem to be what they are talking about. Plus, there's no way loaf sugar would dissolve in this sort of a la minute preparation.

For the sherry, would they be using something like oloroso or cream, then?
Posted 11 October 2006 - 01:00 PM
There are some who muddle lemon and/or orange peels in an old-fashioned, so I guess the technique could have been employed here.
Posted 12 October 2006 - 07:23 PM
Here's 4 oz. fino sherry and a lemon rind muddled in a teaspoon of sugar and then tossed back and forth with a bunch of crushed ice. Garnished with a couple strawberries, some blackberries and a couple sprigs of grapefruit mint.
I think I underestimated the sugar. Prolly be safe to go a little higher with the fino sherry, at least to my tastes. It's definitely one of those cocktails that gets more interesting as it sits, you stir, and the flavors meld.
edit - oh, yeah, after a few dunkings in the mixed drink, the slightly alcoholic and sugary fruit is very tasty to pull out and eat.

I thought I had some perciatelli in the cupboard; but, it turns out we had used it.
Anyway, the holes in perciatelli are prolly too thin. I think Bucatini would be a better choice for a cobbler straw.
Further experimentation is obviously required (and perhaps some liquor).

"A sherry cobbler! Bacchus! what a luxury. I believe Satan suggested the thought to me."
Posted 14 October 2006 - 07:33 AM
Do you suppose that the sugar in the cobbler is there to make the drink sweet or to re-balance the liquid due to its ice-cold temperature. My thinking behind this is that things taste more bitter the lower their temperature.

I just broke down and got an ice crusher a couple weeks ago, and have never been much of a tiki drink fancier, so someone else is probably much better suited to answering this question.
Do you suppose that the sugar in the cobbler is there to make the drink sweet or to re-balance the liquid due to its ice-cold temperature. My thinking behind this is that things taste more bitter the lower their temperature.
I see J. Thomas uses 2 tsp of sugar in his sherry cobbler, and only calls for 1 in most of the rest of them. I wish I had read that page more closely before making my cobbler.
Also, since drinks usually served over crushed ice are usually pretty large and often served in hot climates, it seems like they would need to be sweeter so they remain drinkable as the ice melts and dilutes them.

Rejiggered, Jonathan Miles
The result — a short but stellar cocktail list featuring wine-based and nonalcoholic drinks — made its debut last weekend. Among the highlights: Le Petit Hiboux, a tart combination of white wine, Lillet Blanc and green apple juice; and the Duke of Bedford, a mixture of Dry Sack sherry, mint, bitters and a splash of the beloved Aranciata that sprang from Mr. Stulman's efforts to replicate the zing of a Pimm's Cup cocktail, sans the gin.

On page 144 is an illustration titled: "Sharing a Cobbler"
It depicts a young man and a young woman drinking with long straws from the same glass.
"One of the New World's most popular gifts to the Old was the Cobbler, a sweetened wine drink served on ice, that got its name from a Hudson River Valley Dutch dialect work for a heap of rocks..........
The drink was much favored by romantic young couples. The couple pictured are at "The Casino" in Holborn, one of the new dancing salons that became popular about the same time.
On page 154 is this recipe for
Sherry Cobbler
2 tsp. powdered sugar;
2 or 3 small pieces lemon;
crushed ice;
2 wineglasses Sherry;
1 tbsp. brandy;
6 strawberries.
Into a tumbler three-quarters full of crushed ice put sugar, Sherry, brandy and lemon. Pour back and forth between a second tumbler to mix. Add strawberries and drink through a straw.
Provide a long-handled spoon to get the strawberries.
On pages 156-157 it is noted that Dickens discovered this drink on his visit to America in 1842 and included a mention in his book when this drink was served to Martin Chuzzlewit after he discovers the property he had purchased in Illinois was swampland.
About Dickens himself is written, on page 163, "Everywhere he was pressed to sample what to him were novel mixed drinks. The Sherry Cobbler, which we have already met, was becoming the rage in London in 1842, along with that new dance sensation, the polka. The dialect of Dutch America seems to have supplied the name: a "cobble" was a lump or a stony hill - in this case, of broken ice. When young Chuzzlewit is introduced to one Major Pawkins - " 'One of the most remarkable men in our company, sir!' " - he holds the private view that the Major
… could hang about a bar-room discussing the affairs of the nation, for twelve hours together; and in that time hold forth with more intolerable dullness, chew more tobacco, drink more run-toddy, mint-julep, gin-sling and cock-tail, than any other private gentleman. . .
Note: the reference to "powdered sugar" in the recipe does not mean confectioner's sugar.
At that time sugar was sold in "loaves" that were cone shaped with a rounded top. A grater or a rasp was used to remove the desired amount from the loaf and was then pounded in a mortar to "powder" it so that it would dissolve more rapidly.
The sugar contained a large percentage of molasses and had a stronger flavor than the refined sugar of today. A comparable substitute would be the light brown sugar, or if you want to be truly authentic, you can get jaggery in a chunk and grate off the amount you need.

Both my children suffer from social anxiety.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The other day I was home eating lunch, watching the noon news and on comes a commercial for window blinds. I can't remember the company that was being advertised but I do remember the spokesman. The two were old rivals; radio and television wise; Paul James and Bill Marcroft.
For all my years growing up and into my middle 20's there were only three commercial television stations in Salt Lake; KSL, KCPX (now KTVX) and KUTV. Marcroft worked for KUTV and James (who had been on KCPX for years) switched to KSL in the mid-1960's with much fanfare. Both these sports figures were key to getting scores for high school football and basketball scores on Friday nights. But more importantly, James was the voice of BYU and Marcroft was the voice of Utah. KUTV had on the coaches shows for Ute football coach Ray Nagle (and later other various coaches who rotated in a short time through Utah's athletic department when they started their long losing streak to BYU) and basketball coach Jack Gardiner (then Bill Foster, Jerry Pimm, etc.). James hosted the Cougar show on KSL with their various coaches, the most famous of course being football coach LaVell Edwards.
On Saturday afternoons in the fall you could tell what kind of fans people were when they were out on those Indian summer days and had radios. James would be on one persons radio calling play by play on KSL for BYU. Another might be out in the yard working with Marcroft blasting out of their garage as they listened to the Utes games on KALL radio. Not all games were on television, but some big ones were. BYU and Utah was always on television every year, regardless whether it was a sellout or not. But I hardly remember any games between the two in basketball or football that weren't sell outs. On radio the BYU-Utah matchups were broadcast by both stations regardless of where they were played. On television it seems to me that when they were coming from the Utah campus they were broadcast by KUTV and when played at BYU they were on KSL.
Because I was a Utah fan and eventually went to school there, my recollection of broadcasts remain more clear of Utah than BYU, but still it's hard not to remember the excitement James got in his voice when Kresimir Cosic used to make some move to the basket or when Dick Nemelka would make a play that got him going.
Marcroft did the same thing. How many times I heard broadcasts when I was in junior high and high school with him describing the plays of Merv Jackson and Jerry Chambers. And then listening to him on a transistor radio as I sat in the Special Events Center watching Mike Newlin cruise and bruise down the lane toward two more points. Later I remember him lauding Danny Vranes and Jeff Jonas, as well as dozens of other players who Ute fans came to regard as a close friend to themselves through the voice of Marcroft.
Seeing the two of them together on the screen that day at lunch brought back a lot of memories; a time when you didn't have to have a special television station to watch a WAC game like you do the Mountain West games. It was a time when those two guys in some ways defined the rivalry between the two schools; no broadcasters that do games today are like that. KUTV and KALL were so red and KSL was so blue, being on one side or the other you almost hated the stations as much as you did the opposing school.
While the BYU-Utah rivalry remains, it's just not the same for us baby boomers without those two. And games aren't the free fun they once were either. Game tickets are pricey, I think the radio coverage is not near as good as it was in those days and generally the television coverage has gone the way of pay TV.
Oh well. I guess that is just part of getting old.

What makes the VIXIA HF11 stand out in the category of Flash Memory camcorders is its dual memory capability. You can capture video on both the camcorder's 32GB internal Flash drive as well as directly to an SDHC memory card.
Video stored on the internal memory can also be copied onto the memory card which can then be inserted into your computer or HDTV's card reader slot for immediate viewing. It is also possible to transfer still images recorded to the SDHC card to the built-in memory.
You can also use higher capacity memory cards to further increase the video storage of your VIXIA HF11.
The advantages of Flash Memory go beyond the added recording time. You'll also appreciate the quick response time, because it doesn't have to wait for moving parts. Press the record button and your VIXIA HF11 starts recording video faster than you've ever seen before. In addition, when you review your footage, it will come up more quickly as well.
Another plus is the VIXIA HF11's low power consumption rate, allowing your battery to last longer. It's just what you need so you don't miss that pivotal play on the field or the moment when they say "I do".
While we certainly hope you keep your VIXIA HF11 securely in your hand while shooting, if it happens to slip, or you accidentally knock it against something, you'll be happy to know that Flash Memory makes your camcorder more shock resistant than other recording storage systems. It also minimizes the chance of data loss due to damage to your recording media or the moving parts found in other camcorders.
* 1920 x 1080 movie recording requires a Class 4 or higher memory card. For other recording formats, a Class 2 or higher card is recommended. Also, movie recording requires cards with 128MB of memory or more. Cards made by Toshiba, SanDisk or Matsushita are recommended. No particular restrictions apply for still images.

Unfortunately, the FreeBSD boot loader doesn't work on fit-pc, though apparently loaders of other BSD's and Linux's GRUB work withot problems. Yay for FreeBSD. I tried many things, including using GRUB (which boots the pre-installed Ubuntu), without luck. I agree with the diagnosis proposed by other similar users: something in the loader disables USB in the middle of booting. At the end, I took its drive to another machine, installed FreeBSD there and returned it.
FreeBSD is not exactly a good choice for fit-pc. There are no drivers for its USB 2 (USB1 works) controller, its audio controller and its built-in hardware crypto acceleration (AMD Geode AES). All of these things work on Linux. On the other hand, at least the network ports (Realtek chip) and other basic components (IDE controller, motherboard devices) work.

Pre-Game: Collins says F-Mart will DH tomorrow
This morning at Citi Field, Terry Collins spoke with reporters about a variety of topics, essentially saying the following:
- Fernando Martinez will be the designated hitter at Yankee Stadium tomorrow and Saturday, and Carlos Beltran will DH on Sunday.
- He wants to make sure Jason Bay is comfortable with the idea of batting second, and he hasn't talked to him about it yet.
- He's looking forward to his first Subway Series.
- He thinks the gap between Triple-A and the majors is so great because players are pushed through their systems so fast now.
- He thinks the fact Justin Turner is so confident in his abilities is a big factor for his recent success.

They would build a new $ 20 million building in the current Civic Stadium parking lot. The rest of the land would become tennis courts and a new parking lot surrounded by town homes for students attending Lane Community College and University of Oregon, operated by an outside company.

I can't believe I've gone this long without mentioning how much the Winter Olympics have taken over my household. My family just cannot get enough double axels and triple toe flips and all that great figure skating stuff.
At any rate, a quick search for "Olympics shoes" turned up these toe-loving running shoes from Vibram. Vibram actually develops a whole line of these shoes, called the FiveFingers shoes, that are made for sports such as ChiRunning, Pose Method Running, and Bouldering (yeah, I don't know either). The FiveFingers Classic model features an extremely thin, lightweight, stretch polyamide fabric upper and a TC-1 rubber outsole. They're supposed to take you back to the innocence of running around barefoot as a child, helping you feel more connected to spirit of the earth. Or something like that.
I don't quite get it but I can see how it might make some sense. I hear that some Olympic runners from South Africa train barefoot and they're consistent winners in running. At the very least, they're better than Nike's take on barefoot shoes.

Wild rice isn't a quick cooking food, and if the rice you use has been sitting on the store shelf or in your pantry for a year or so it may take even longer to cook. You need to simmer it in stock until some of the rice grains start to split apart and it's soft but slightly chewy.
Sauteing the onions with plenty of chopped fresh thyme adds a lot of flavor to this dish, but I think you could use dried thyme here with good results.
Bake 30-40 minutes, or until it's piping hot and most of the stock has been absorbed.
Wild Rice with Sausage and Mushrooms
(Makes about 6 generous servings, recipe adapted from Thanksgiving Wild Rice at the Food Network.)
-2/3 cup wild rice, rinsed and drained
-3 cups plus 1/2 cup chicken or turkey stock, homemade or canned
-2 T olive oil or butter (or less, depending on your pan; use olive oil for South Beach diet)
-one 12 oz. pkg. ground pork sausage (I used Jimmy Dean 50% less fat pork sausage but turkey sausage would be great too)
-1 onion, finely chopped
-1 T finely chopped fresh thyme leaves (or use 1-2 tsp. dried thyme)
-12 oz crimini, shitaki or white mushrooms, stems removed and coarsely chopped
-3 T finely chopped fresh parsley
-fresh ground black pepper to taste
