Saturday, June 25 - Pink Out Night
Newsmanstown, Pa. - Maybe it was the allure of the television cameras, or perhaps it was a simple case of extreme determination because he hadn't been in victory lane for a long while.
Whatever the reason, it was easy to see that Mike Dicely was on a mission in Saturday's main event for the 600cc Micro-Sprints at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. The Lewisberry, Pa. veteran wheel-twister notched his first triumph of the season as the cameras and crew from Blue Ridge Cable Channel 11 captured all the action in an event that marked the start of the fifth year of the successful partnership between the Lanco Club and Channel 11.
While Dicely had a big night, Richie Hartman's evening was even more lucrative. Hartman, from Temple, Pa., registered victories in both the 270cc and 125cc main events. His win in the 125cc headliner was his fourth consecutive triumph in that division.
Sheena Logeman won the 25-lap feature for the Sportsman Class, and Chip Geib remained undefeated in point-paying events, winning another 270cc Four-Stroke main in George Shupp's No. 15.
As Travis Esh and Jeff Halligan - both of whom graduated from high school just a few days prior to Saturday's event - ran one/two in the early laps of the 600cc feature, Dicely was slicing his way from eighth on the starting grid into the top five.
The Hyper Racing No. 44 charged into fourth position on lap five, then passed Heath Hehnly for third on the seventh trip around the oval. Three circuits later, Dicely slipped past Halligan to take over the runner-up spot, then began his pursuit of the race leader.
Just two brief caution periods slowed the pace of the 25-lapper, and Travis Esh kept Dicely behind him on the final restart with twelve laps in the books. Dicely stalked Esh for several tours, then made his move in turn two with four laps remaining. Esh got a bid wide in the corner, opening the bottom for Dicely, who took full advantage of the opportunity.
Dicely went on to win by slightly more than one second over Heath Hehnly, who managed to race past Esh in lapped traffic on the final lap. Hehnly was driving a brand new Hyper that was finished up by his car owner, Sonny Cooke, around 10 p.m. on Friday night.
Esh wound up third for his best finish in his first year of 600cc competition, while Halligan and Eric Bodine completed the top five.
It was also a good points night for Dicely, as he entered the evening trailing Mike Rutherford in the standings by a mere ten points. His victory, combined with Rutherford's 19th place finish, enabled Dicely to take the point lead by 54 tallies.
Tom Kohler, Danny Wykes, Dicely, and Halligan won heat races for the 35-car field of 600cc racers. Brent Ely and Tyler Esh won the two consolations.
Richie Hartman, a three-time 270cc Lanco point champion, recorded his first win of the season in that division on Saturday. His victory, combined with Mike Rutherford's early departure (after hitting the outside guardrail on the backstretch), produced updated point standings that have the two of them tied for the number one position in the 2012 championship chase.
"I'm real happy to give (former driver) Jared Davis his first win as a car owner," said Hartman afterward. "We tried a bunch of different things this week, and we borrowed a lot of parts tonight. Thanks to the Swavely's for giving us a shock tonight; that's just one of the parts we borrowed."
Brad Kemp and Jason Swavely battled for the lead in the early going, with Kemp in front by about 12" on lap one before Swavely pulled even in turns one and two, then squeezed up in front of Kemp as they hit the backchute for the second time.
Swavely set the pace until his mount broke on the sixth circuit. Hartman, who started eighth, was dueling with Jesse Maurer for the runner-up slot when Swavely made the sudden turn toward the infield. Maurer was momentarily pinned behind Swavely, allowing Hartman to flash by him and into the lead.
Hartman went on to win by three-quarters of a second over Maurer, with Billy Logeman finishing third. Chip Geib (who started 19th) and Brian Marriott finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
Rutherford's 21st place finish not only resulted in his being tied with Hartman for the point lead, but it also tightened the standings among the entire top five positions. Maurer is now eight points behind the leaders, while Logeman is just 13 markers in arrears. Heath Hehnly is fifth, just 33 points behind the co-leaders.
Rutherford, Swavely, and Hartman were victorious in the heat races for the 27-car field. The consolation winner was Chip Geib.
Approximately 30 minutes before his 270cc triumph, Hartman captured his fourth consecutive main event for the 125cc Micro-Sprints.
Dave Grube, the feature winner on opening night, passed Nick Sweigart on the fourth trip around the clay oval to take the top spot. Grube maintained the point while Shane Braxton (started eleventh) and Hartman (started twelfth) maneuvered into the top five during the first eight laps.
Jesse Maurer was running second to Grube until his Gorski Racing teammate, Hartman, passed him at the halfway mark after a very entertaining, multi-lap battle for the runner-up position.
A yellow flag with seven to go provided the opportunity for which Hartman was waiting. On the restart, he ducked under Grube, then made the race winning pass on Grube's No. 3D.
Ken Miller, who spun on the original start, rebounded from the rear of the pack to run third in the waning laps. Miller tried the low side off turn four as he and Grube headed for the checkered, but Grube nosed in front to claim second place money as the duo crossed the stripe.
Maurer and Braxton rounded out the top five.
Twenty-one of the 125cc racers signed in for competition on Saturday, with heats going to Braxton and Darren Miller.
Sheena Logeman, Lititz, put at least a temporary halt to the domination by the Miller Racing team in the Sportsman Class, driving to a convincing victory in the 25-lapper for the 250cc Air-cooled Micros. It was the first time this season that one of the four cars from Curt Miller's stable did not win the Sportsman feature.
After Wesley Fasnacht wrestled the top spot from Matt Abers on lap five, Logeman dashed past Fasnacht on the eighth revolution to take command.
Current point leader Bret Habecker moved into second on a lap ten restart, while Jason Swavely - one of his Miller Racing teammates - sliced and diced his way from 18th on the starting grid to run fourth when that yellow flag appeared with nine laps scored. Swavely raced into third at the same time that Habecker secured second, as both drivers passed Fasnacht when the green reappeared on lap ten.
Sheena Logeman drove away from Habecker and Swavely on a couple of subsequent restarts, going on to win by almost one full second over Habecker.
Swavely, the defending point champion in the Sportsman Class, finished third with Ken Miller placing fourth. Miller was involved in a huge, multi-car pile up on the front stretch at the halfway point of the race. Five laps later he was back inside the top five, eventually settling for fourth at the finish.
Fasnacht ended up fifth when the checkered flag waved.
Habecker and Curtis R. Miller won the two heat races for the 18 Sportsman cars.
Chip Geib won for the fifth time in the feature for the 270cc Four-Stroke Micros. Geib is undefeated in point-paying races so far this season; his car finished third (with Ryan Shupp behind the wheel) in the non-point Memorial Day Open Show on May 26.
Geib was back at work on Saturday, steering his way by Kim Enck for second on the seventh tour. Craig DeSantis, who was battling the flu, was leading at that point, and Geib needed five laps to run down the veteran from Lititz and pass him for the lead.
DeSantis slid up the turn two banking on the twelfth circuit, opening the door for Geib to dart in front and take the top spot as they accelerated onto the backstretch.
DeSantis, who later admitted he was simply wearing out due to not feeling well, held on for second in the race that took just 7 minutes, 54 seconds to complete.
Ryan Morris passed Enck for third with three laps to go. Eddie Nocera finished fifth.
Two heats were run for the 14 cars that made up the Four-Stroke field on Saturday, with Geib and Morris notching the victories.
The Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway swings back into action this Saturday, June 16, with another five division card of action featuring qualifying heats, consolations, and 25-lap main events for the 600cc, 270cc, 125cc, Sportsman, and 270cc Four-Stroke Micro-Sprints.
Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic will sponsor this week's racing program. Gates open at 3:30 with warm-ups slated to begin at 5 p.m. The first heat race goes green at 6:00.
Entry forms for Micromania and the Clash at the Clyde, coming up on June 30 & July 1, are available on the speedway's website at www.lancomicrosprint.com. Two full programs of qualifying (with feature races on both nights) for both the 600cc and 270cc divisions taking part, and the lure of Sunday's Micromania A-Main for the 600's paying $10,000 to the winner make this colossal weekend a "must participate/ must see" event for race teams and fans.

Roman's Mother
- For other members of the Bellic family, see Bellic.
Roman's Mother is the unnamed mother of Roman Bellic and the unnamed aunt of Niko Bellic. Despite being frequently mentioned by both Niko and Roman, she makes no appearance or impact in Grand Theft Auto IV.
According to Niko Bellic, he and Roman were primarilly raised by Roman's mother, who raised both him and Roman, as their fathers were abusive alcoholics. When the Yugoslav Wars came, she used all of the money she had saved to send Roman to the United States of America. She also wanted to send Niko to the U.S., but he stayed to fight in the war. In a conversation with Kate McReary, Niko says that he found Roman's mother raped and murdered, although Niko told Roman that she died in a house fire as he thought that telling Roman the truth would be too depressing.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Kaleb Tarczewski scored 18 points and Aaron Gordon put up a double-double on Saturday to lead the Red team past the Blue, 44-38, in the Arizona men's basketball program's annual Red-Blue Game.
Down 18-16 at the half, Red stormed to a 28-20 advantage in the second half, icing the game with a minute to play when Nick Johnson came up with a steal and was fouled while throwing down a one-handed transition dunk.
Gordon went for 12 points, 13 rebounds and a team-high three assists, while Tarczewski made 6-of-7 shots from the field and 6-of-9 from the stripe en route to sharing game-high honors with 18 points. Johnson added nine to bolster the Red team's scoring.
Freshman Rondae Hollis-Jefferson shouldered the scoring load for the Blue squad with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting, sharing game-high honors with Tarczewski. The Chester, Pa., native also added four rebounds and two steals in his first action in an Arizona uniform.
The Blue team also got a boost from Brandon Ashley, who finished with a double-double of his own with 14 points and a dozen boards. Ashley was 6-of-9 from the floor and helped spark Blue to a 23-21 edge on the boards.
In addition to his double-double performance, Gordon starred before the scrimmage as the winner of the team's annual slam dunk contest. His behind-the-back, under-the-rim throwdown on his second attempt drew multiple 10s from the judges' panel of Damon Stoudamire, Joseph Blair, Dr. Ann Weaver Hart, Corey Williams and former head coach Lute Olson.
The Red-Blue festivities, which took place in front of a sold-out McKale Center and more than 7,000 viewers via live web stream, also featured introductions and remarks from members of the Wildcats' 1994 Final Four team, as well as video features and pyrotechnic-aided 2013-14 team introductions.For the latest updates on Arizona men's basketball and an inside look at the program, follow @APlayersProgram on Twitter.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
Patio Gardens
by National Gardening Association Editors
Patio gardens soften the transition between indoors and outdoors by bringing plants into outdoor living areas. This might involve something as simple as setting up a few window boxes on an apartment balcony, or as elaborate as enclosing an entire porch with trellised vines, potted trees and shrubs, hanging baskets, and containers filled with annual and perennial flowers.
Let's look at some challenges gardeners face, and see how patio gardens can provide solutions.
Space Constraints
Perhaps you've longed to have a garden, but your city apartment offers minimal possibilities. Even the smallest balcony can become a peaceful oasis with the addition of carefully chosen and well-placed plants. Also, many vegetables, fruits, and herbs thrive in containers.
Property Layout
You may have the loveliest gardens in your large front yard--but the deck where you spend much of your summer leisure time faces your small back yard. Why not bring some of your favorite plants into your living area by planting them in containers and placing them where you can enjoy them daily?
Plants can help provide much-needed relief from the crowds and noise of city life. Create privacy screens by planting fast-growing annual vines up trellises around your patio. Place container-grown small trees and shrubs around the perimeter of your deck, to muffle noise and create a visual barrier.
Sun Exposure
You'd love to grow tomatoes, but your yard is too shady. Tomatoes adapt well to growing in containers, so pot some up, place them on your sunny porch, and look forward to mouth-watering tomatoes all summer long.
You have a plot at your local community garden, and grow most of your produce there. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to pick a few cherry tomatoes or some fresh basil for a last-minute salad? Even if your garden is in your back yard, it's still nice to have planters with your favorite herbs and vegetables right outside your kitchen door.
Container-grown plants can be arranged in endless ways to create the ambience you want. Containers are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and shapes, and can become an important part of the design. Furthermore, you can rotate ornamental plants into and out of the design, as they reach, then pass, their peak.

I was hanging out in my dorm room just now, watching Youtube videos to relax when I heard a large group of people gather outside my window (I live on the 2nd floor and the sound from the parking lot below me travels very far).
I thought nothing of it until the group started singing in a native american chant, probably Hopi or Navajo, almost in a drunken stupor as they danced around a truck. They were rather loud and obnoxious, but I didn't want to tell them to shut up to look like a rascist so I tried my best to ignore it instead.
About ten minutes passed, and a random old white guy showed up, points a flashlight at them, tells them to shut up and the group walks away laughing. I can still hear them in the nearby forest. What the hell was that all about? hahaha xD did I miss the night to dance for our great Ford overloads?

Healthy living, herbal remedies and DIY natural beauty.
By Robyn Griggs Lawrence
green building, energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management, air quality, green materials
Green Builder Media's VISION House Series, a handful of green demonstration homes around the country, showcases shining examples of site-specific solutions for key green building issues including energy use, water conservation, land use and orientation, waste management, indoor environment quality, and products and materials. We're excited to see that next month, the series will debut two more homes—new construction and a remodel—in Orlando, Florida. They promise to be spectacular.
Green Builder Media teamed with Southern Traditions Development and Designs by Pat Gaylor for ReVISION House Orlando, a deep energy retrofit in the charming College Park neighborhood. The 1,800-square-foot home, built in typical Florida block-style, uses advanced materials and design techniques to significantly enhance energy performance and resource efficiency while reflecting the neighborhood's traditional flavor. "The worst thing you can do is build a home that doesn't fit with the vibe of the neighborhood," Gaylor says in an upcoming Green Builder magazine article about the house. "College Park is a very special place. Whatever we did had to fit. Today, people want elegance but not to the point of corny or overdone. We live in homes that work for us, not Tuscan villas."

Also in College Park, Green Builder teamed with Southern Traditions Development, ed binkley design and Designs by Pat Gaylor to build VISION House Orlando, a home designed to respect traditional central Florida architecture while focusing on energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor environment quality, efficient systems, sustainable materials and disaster resistance. "My favorite aspect of the 2011 Vision House started with the program—a home designed for a tight urban fringe infill lot that would offer maximum flexibility, use solid sustainable practices, and be available to the masses at a moderate price," architect Ed Binkley says. "I like taking a pretty typical housing model for the neighborhood, unplugging it, and opening it up to create something totally unexpected."
As builder John Pleveich explains, it's all about finding homeowners who get it. "We want [our home buyers] to first and foremost show visitors their solar panels before they show them the granite," he says. "Or show them the dual-flush toilets that conserve. It's important to get people to see that it's not just a green house. It's not a plain Jane house. And the most important benefits of owning it are energy efficiency and durability."
At MOTHER EARTH NEWS, we are dedicated to conserving our planet's natural resources while helping you conserve your financial resources. That's why we want you to save money and trees by subscribing through our earth-friendly automatic renewal savings plan.

I only just discovered the existence of these new Limited Edition M&Ms released for the new Transformer's movie on Tuesday. Mars had only announced them on Monday, so I guess I'm faster on the pickup than I thought. I wistfully pondered when I'd ever find them, as my area doesn't get many first releases of candy and they show up a month or two later than everyone else. So imagine my utter delight when I find these in an display while grocery shopping that very evening. Luck was surely smiling upon me.
The bag is a little busy. It has a gray iron base with two versions of Mecha (or should I say Transformer?) Orange, who looks very nervous despite the fact that's he's now a killer robot. The M&M's name is still the most prominent feature on the bag and the flavor is brightly listed above it. I kept re-reading the flavor title though: Strawberried Peanut Butter? It sounded very odd to me, I would have never guessed that sort of flavor combination in an M&M, it seems a little out of the box to me. Kudos to Mars for trying something so unique.
The size of these M&Ms are large, like the crispy and the peanut butter varieties. They come in three colors that fit the Transformer's palate: red, brown and yellow with red flecks. They look similar to the Wildly Cherry M&Ms and the Limited Editions Indiana Jones IV version from last year. They smell lightly fruity, which is a little strange, yet inviting. It's a little like how Skittles smell, but it's much milder here.
Curious to see what's makes up these M&Ms, I bit one in half to see the innards. As I suspected it's made up of a candy shell, chocolate, then a peanut butter center. They break very easily in my mouth and are somewhat soft, not as crunchy as the other varieties of M&Ms.
The first thing you taste is a hit of strawberry flavor. It's light, fruity, and pleasantly not artificial (like many found the Wildly Cherry M&Ms to be). Next you get the sweetness from the chocolate, followed by the nicely roasted and salty flavor of the peanut butter center. I'm guessing that the flavor of the strawberry is in the candy shell, since once I chew it and dissolve it, all I get are chocolate peanut butter flavors. The strawberry flavor doesn't mix too much with the peanut butter center either. It tends to disappear before you get to it, at least that's how it tastes when I eat them. I find that the flavor grows on me as I keep tasting more and more of them.
These are a little strange at first, until your taste buds and head recognize the flavor combo. That's right, it tastes of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in M&M form. It's good, but not anything classic in my mind. Now I just gotta keep my eyes peeled for the Snickers Nougabot Bar!

Reviews for Halloween Pumpkin Bars
"I made this for my book club meeting yesterday and it was a hit!! I did use the whole can of pumpkin and add 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice as other reviews had suggested and it made a huge batch - plenty to share and still have leftovers. Very moist!"
"The recipe was very good. This was the first time I used pumpkin pie mix. I like it. after reading one comment I added 1/2 tsp. of pumpkin pie spices. I also had to use a 18X11 inch pan."
"A great tasty treat."
"I've had many requests to make this desert over and over again. First, for my daughter's Halloween party, then again for a Holiday party (without the Jack-o-lantern faces)."
"Delicious!! These were very moist, I made the cake the day before, wrapped it in cling wrap and left it overnight, then frosted it the day of my party. It was an instant hit! Helpful hints: I added about 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice to the batter, since the pumpkin pie filling is only mildly spiced. Also, after frosting the cake, place it in the refrigerator (or freezer) until the frosting is slightly hardened, this will keep the frosting firm around the edges when cutting the bars."

Gardening for Butterflies (page 2 of 2)
by Alice Yarborough
Make Mud Puddles
If your garden has a low, damp area, plant moisture lovers like the rosy-flowered swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), Joe-pye weed, forget-me-nots, bee balm, and meadow sweet (Filipendula palmata). Create a shallow puddle to attract swallowtails, blues, sulfurs and other butterflies that enjoy drinking at mud puddles. (They do so to obtain needed salts in their diet.) A sprinkling of table salt and the addition of some manure will increase the puddle's appeal for butterflies. Salt harms plants, however, so use a plastic liner or locate the puddle away from your flower border.
What about Caterpillars?
Butterfly gardeners should not use insecticides and herbicides. Many pesticides kill indiscriminately so doom butterflies or their larvae. My advice? Don't fret too much about caterpillars chewing your prized plants. Natural predators usually keep caterpillar populations under control. Also, the larvae of many butterflies feed only on certain plants and trees.
Mostly, I welcome the occasional presence of butterfly caterpillars in my garden, sometimes carrying one indoors along with a spray of its food plant so that I can observe the miracle of metamorphosis. West coast ladies sometimes lay eggs on the leaves of ornamental mallows. Painted ladies, which instinctively lay their eggs on thistle plants, also find an acceptable substitute in the hairy leaves of borage. Spying dozens of painted lady caterpillars on your borage plants does not mean the end result will be a crowd of butterflies emerging from their cocoons in your garden. Such collections of juicy caterpillar morsels are handy food marts for wasps and hungry birds.
Common Garden Butterflies
Each delicately winged butterfly that graces your garden spent a part of its life in another, less well known form: a larva. To enjoy butterflies in greatest abundance, learn to recognize them whatever their stage of growth. All begin as an egg, which shortly becomes the larval form, a caterpillar. After feeding, caterpillars pupate in a chrysalis, then transform into beautiful butterflies.
Tiger Swallowtail
(Papilio glaucus and P. rutulus) The caterpillar lives in a leaf shelter of its food plant, often trees such as cherry, poplar, birch, and basswood. The large adult is a common sight in gardens.
(Danaus plexippus) Birds learn fast to avoid this caterpillar and butterfly. The larvae absorb toxins from their food plant, milkweed.
(Junonia coenia) This caterpillar is gardener-friendly because it eats weeds such as plantain. The "eyespots" on both wings of the adult are used to frighten predators.
Painted Lady
(Vanessa cardui) Colors on the caterpillar vary, but the yellow side stripes are consistent. Because the adults are so adaptable, this species is particularly widespread.
Great Spangled Fritillary
(Speyeria cybele) The butterfly's name comes from the silvery "spangles" visible on the undersides of wings. The favorite food plant of the spiny caterpillar? Violets.
Red Admiral
(Vanessa atalanta) This caterpillar feeds on nettle plants, inside an individual leaf tied up with silk. Adults like to linger on sunny garden paths, and often rest on a wooden structure--or the gardener!
Mourning Cloak
(Nymphalis antiopa) This spiny caterpillar feeds on nettles, elm, willow, poplar, and birch. Look for sunbathing adults on sunny, late-winter days, a sign that spring is near.
Black Swallowtail
(Papilio polyxenes) Just about any plant of the carrot family, such as carrots, dill, and parsley, are fair game for this caterpillar. When you see the butterflies in your garden, you know the caterpillars will follow soon.

Freshly Baked Oatmeal Toasting Bread (recipe here, though I used milk in this batch)
I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and the right equipment makes all the difference. When a friend came to visit a while back, she took one look around and said, "You could outfit a restaurant with all this stuff!" Actually, a lot of it did.
I spent many years in the restaurant business when I lived in northern California, including running my own little bakery cafe, and I quickly came to realize that heavy duty, well made items may cost a little more at first, but in the long run they're the best deals around.
These are some of the kitchen things that I use all the time and highly recommend. Whether you're buying for yourself or someone else this holiday season, they're sure to be greatly appreciated for many years to come. The loaf pans, baking sheets, and cast iron skillet are currently eligible for Amazon.com's 4-for-3 promotion—buy any 4 eligible items and you get the lowest-priced item free. More details on the product links below.
If you shop at Amazon.com by starting at any Amazon link on this site (no matter what you end up buying) we receive a small referral fee, which goes toward our treat bill at the feed store. Thank you!
Chicago Metallic Commercial Bread Pans, $11.99 & $15.50
I love Chicago Metallic's commercial bakeware, and their heavy duty loaf pans (pictured above) are awesome. I've been using mine for years for both quick breads and sandwich loaves and refuse to bake with anything else. They're available in two sizes, 1-pound (approximately 8"x4") and 1½-pound (approximately 9"x5"—they call it 10") and come with a 25-year warranty. Fill the 1-pound with up to 26 ounces of bread dough (such as my popular Farmhouse White) for big beautiful loaves.
Chicago Metallic Commercial Baking Sheets (2 for $24.99)
Never burn a tray of cookies again! Once you use heavy duty, rimmed baking sheets, you'll suddenly realize that everything else is vastly inferior. They're great for everything from baking rolls to roasting Brussels sprouts and are one of the best kitchen deals around. Treat them well (I usually line them with sheets of unbleached parchment paper—wonderful stuff!), and they'll last for ages. I've been using the heck out of some of mine for over 18 years.
KitchenAid Immersion Hand Blender, $37.95
This is quite possibly the best $50 I've ever spent in the kitchen—and right now the red and black versions are on sale at Amazon for $42.95, plus there's a $5.00 rebate available. Purées big pots of soup in seconds (no more scalding hot liquid flying out from the top of the blender!) and is a breeze to clean. It also works great for blending up large batches of homemade pet food. You can do all kinds of other stuff with it, too—I seriously underutilize mine, but my best friend Beth often uses hers several times a day. Comes with KitchenAid's 1-year, hassle-free replacement warranty.
Oxo Good Grips Digital Kitchen Scale, $48.45
Pyrex Storage 14-Piece Round Set, $22.97
I finally found something even better than my 1940s vintage Pyrex covered dishes—new Pyrex of course! I bought this set a few years ago and used it so much I ordered a second one. I'm always storing dibs and dabs and leftovers in the fridge, and these save on plastic wrap and foil. And like the propoganda on the box says, you're much more likely to use something if you can see it. I can't tell you how many times I've opened the lid of a repurposed cottage cheese container to find a glob of moldy who-knows-what staring up at me. Glass is definitely the way to go. They make 10-piece and 6-piece sets, too, but the round sizes in this 14-piece set work best for me. Oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher safe.
Lodge 10-Inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet, $14.53
If you only own one frying pan, make it cast iron. Cast iron skillets are one of the best buys on the planet. For fifteen bucks you get a pan that will beautifully cook everything from bacon and eggs to steaks and cornbread, last for decades, and if treated well (no soap!) will only improve with age. This one is pre-seasoned for immediate use and comes with a lifetime warranty.
Cast iron skillets make the best cornbread (my new favorite recipe coming soon). Feed someone homemade cornbread and they'll eat well for a day. Give them a Cornbread Lover's Gift Kit and they'll eat well for life: simply tuck a bag or two of nice stoneground cornmeal and a copy of The Cornbread Gospels (this is such a fun book) in a cast iron skillet and tie it all up with a big red bow.
A Perfect Pan for Pasta (recipe here)
All-Clad LTD 10-Inch Fry Pan, $87.50
If you only own two frying pans, make the first one cast iron and the second one All-Clad. Their professional cookware is amazing. I have a few cherished pieces, but this 10-inch pan is the one I use most. I've used and abused it for nearly 20 years, and it's still as good as new. Even the blackest, scariest, baked on mess (think bacon or burgers—yeah, I know, probably should have used the cast iron) cleans up in a jiffy; just soak in hot soapy water for a few minutes and lightly scrub. If you cook for a crowd, the 14-inch size ($107.95) would be perfect. I'm lusting after one—how great would it be to be able to caramelize that many onions at once?
Taylor Classic Instand-Read Pocket Thermometer, $5.47
Perfect for stuffing stockings, this is a must-have item for any bread baker. With it you can quickly check the temperature of ingredients, rising dough, even the air in your kitchen (just put it in a glass of room-temperature water). The world-famous Poilane bakery in France requires each of its bakers to wear one around their neck. If you know a budding bread baker (or are one yourself), check out my Ten Tips for Better Bread—and come bake with us at A Year in Bread!
Have a delicious holiday season!

Come visit our neighborhoods at any Kalamazoo Public Library location!
Bookworms is a book club for kids and their grown-ups. It's really fun for kids and grown-ups to get together and talk books. You should try it! This month's choice is the Caldecott Medal book Fables by the great Arnold Lobel. It's funny with wonderful illustrations, a modern classic, and there's so much to talk about. Plus, it's not too long to read before we meet next week.
Each of the twenty original fables is one page with an accompanying illustration.We still have a few copies available so come in to the Central Library, sign up for Bookworms and get a copy of the book, and then join us to discuss on Thursday, July 23rd.
It's winter recess, holiday break, whatever you call it, and kids have some time away from school.

Learning and the MeL Kids Gateway. There really is a lot to enjoy!
Maybe you've heard about Derek Jeter's new book The Contract. It begins with a young Derek Jeter sitting in his third grade classroom in Kalamazoo and dreaming about baseball - sliding into home base to win the World Series. Derek Jeter always knew that he wanted to play baseball. Shortstop. For the New York Yankees. The Contract is the first book in Jeter's middle-grade reader series. The book is based on Jeter's own experiences as he begins playing little league. A central element of the narrative is the contract that Jeter enters into with his parents specifying how he will prioritize his time in order to really focus on baseball while achieving good grades and spending quality time with his family. The Contract is a readable and inspirational book for middle-school aged readers and their adults.
Summer is a great time to make things with your kids. Whether you are a dad or a mom, you'll find good ideas for collaborative projects to DIY with daughers and sons in Maker Dad: Lunch Box Guitars, Antigravity Jars, and 22 Other Incredibly Cool Father-Daughter Projects. Written by Mark Frauenfelder, the editor in chief of MAKE Magazine, these projects vary in complexity. Most require some kind of tooling but can be adapted in different ways. There are woodworking projects like laminating up wood veneer layers while it's bent to make a pre-sprung long board to cruise the streets. There are imaginitive electonics projects like a kite-mounted video camera. There are plenty of whimsical, imaginative projects here. Also included are tips for devoping practical skills like creating and hosting your own podcast and using a variety of tools. I thought this book was suitable for parents and their elementary or middle-school aged children and up.
This spring, we celebrated the 20th year of the Global Reading Challenge! This quiz-bowl program is for 4th and 5th graders. Students form teams at their schools, read ten books chosen by KPL children's librarians, then work as a team to answer questions about the books, earning points with correct answers.
Our intent is for kids to have fun reading the books and participating in a team activity. The ten books are carefully chosen to reflect our diverse world and to show characters successfully solving problems, contributing to their communities, and learning that people are more alike than they are different.
The first Challenge, in 1994, featured 19 teams from Lincoln, North Christian, and MLK Westwood; the winning team was the "Bookworm Warriors" from MLK Westwood. This year we had 129 teams from 17 schools! The District Final Challenge featured teams from Edison, Arcadia, Prairie Ridge, Spring Valley, and Northglade. The champion was the "Crazy Cougars" team from Prairie Ridge. Thanks to the students, parents, teachers, principals, and coaches for another successful year of books and reading!
Over this summer, librarians will be reading and choosing the books for the 2015 Global Reading Challenge. Team applications will be accepted in October and the book titles will be announced in December.
The Developmental Timeline from parentingcounts.org includes some great research-based parenting tips videos. Many have good advice for any caregiver of young children about how to speak "parentese, or speak in a way that actually encourages language development. Other videos linked from within the different tabbed domains in the timeline show the world from a child's perspective. If you are parent or caregiver, you might find them interesting, too. I like the videos that try to portray the world from a child's perspective. Other videos have good tips about how to make reading fun from the very beginning. These are things that come naturally to parents when we make the time to read to our kids. I like to think about how many parents and children are making memories reading 1000 Books Before Kindergarten together.
There are lots of fun things to do at Kalamazoo Public Library locations during Spring Break. If you're at the Central Library and want to borrow child/family movies and music, come to the Children's Room. That's where those materials are now located. Maybe you've been wondering what those lullabye renditions of Michael Jackson music sound like. Or maybe it's time to see how Danny Devito voiced The Lorax. Or revisit that beautiful Carl and Ellie sequence from Up. You'll find something that you'll enjoy in this collection and you'll be able to check it out at the kiosk in the Children's Room, too. And while you'll be able to find Dr. Seuss books in the Children's Room, you'll want to go to the lower level to find Thriller and The Wiz. You'll find lots of movie musicals and documentaries that make great family viewing in the lower level, too!
We're seeing more and more dads in the Children's Room, as they bring their kids to storytime, choose books to take home, and share in the fun of playing with toys in the Story Place.
As more dads take on caregiver responsibilities, we are glad to see more parenting books written just for them. A Dad's Guide to Childcare is one that I like. It's practical, has clear photos that illustrate step-by-step processes, and even addresses difficult situations that may come up.
As part of the renovation of the Central Library Children's Room, we've added some more Parenting books to our shelves. If you're looking for books about parenting children from birth to 5 years, you can now find those books in the Children's Room. We'd be glad to help you find the books that are just right for your family.
Music for: Kids, Teens & Tweens

A commanding stage presence is an essential element of the rock and roll spectacle. Beyond captivating audiences with their music, artists from Abba to ZZ Top have projected their quirks, singular identities and personas via unique stage costumes. Some artists' costume choices are icons to themselves – think Michael Jackson's gilded glove or Elvis Presley's bejeweled jumpsuit. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is home to many of these iconic costumes and ground-breaking designs. Here are some of our favorites, which you can see when visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum!
David Bowie's Suit, 1972 / Design by Freddie Burretti
David Bowie's breakthrough came with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), a thoroughly modern album that promulgated the notion of rock star as space alien. Bowie melded rock with theater, creating the provocative character and alter ego "Ziggy Stardust." Bowie wore his lightning-bolt emblazoned suit onstage during his tour to support the album.
The Supremes' Dresses, 1969 / Design by Bob Mackie
The Supremes rose from the poverty of ...
"Clichéd as it might be, we've always been a good, hard rock and roll band," Angus Young has said of his group, 2003 Hall of Fame inductees AC/DC. More than simply "good," AC/DC has reigned as one of the best-loved and hardest-rocking bands in the world for decades.
In this Gallery Talk clip, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer shares the story behind the iconic schoolboy outfit worn by AC/DC guitarist Angus Young. This outfit – along with other items from AC/DC's lengthy career – is on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, in the heavy metal section of the Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit.

"Fantastic and simple recipe. I added a little bit of liquid smoke, to really give it that smokey flavor. PERFECTO! Great recipe."
"I used Skyline HOT chili sauce and these turned out great, with a little heat/kick."
"This was excellent, very juicy... Will leave out the onions when fixing for a crowd since some people seem to really hate onions. Will saute onions and have on the side. Am fixing for a crowd for Super Bowl 46."
"We just had these for a quick lunch after church, very yummy! Everyone enjoyed them."
"Yum yum! We are currently living out of the country and these were like a yummy tast of home! We topped them with toasty rolls, tomatoe, cheddar cheese, lettuce and ketchup! We had potatoe salad and sauteed zucchini to top it off!"

Delap's Cove
As you walk the trail, this spot could easily be bypassed as simply another random collection of moss covered rocks. If you look closely, you can see that there is indeed some order to the rocks. These are the remains of a house in the Black Loyalist community of Delap's Cove.
At the end of the American Revolution, both free and enslaved blacks came to Nova Scotia. This was a relatively secluded community which arose from the fact that Black Loyalists were often granted the worst tracts of land. The people who lived here could have easy access to the amenities of Digby or Annapolis Royal by water but this is not prime agricultural land. The north side of the North Mountain is rocky and harsh. The rocks which made this foundation would have first been removed from any land under cultivation. Additional rocks can be found in the stone fence rows which line the trails.
The foundation is quite small. If I were to guess I would say that the building was about 10 feet square (about 3 meters square). It would be big enough for a fireplace, a table, a few chairs and space to sleep. The larger the family grew the more space would be needed for sleeping. Among the families who once lived in this community were the Simms, Skanks, Pomp (Stephenson), Currie, Johnson and Brothers. One of the later families to arrive is the Marsman family who previously lived in the Halifax area. While one house still stands, there are currently no people living in this part of Delap's Cove.
Once you know who lived here, this is a very moving landscape. These people once lived in slavery. They are the descendants of Africans who were crammed into ships and brought to the New World. Some may have even made this voyage themselves. On receiving their freedom, these people were given very poor land in an inaccessible part of the province. These stones are a testament to their struggle against racism, politics and the elements. Their humble memorial is a moss covered foundation.
All for now,

I am a ancestor, of the Pomp Family. My name is Duston Stevenson. I have research my family for over 10 years. My family, meaning, mother, then her mother which is my grandmother and etc. We are Black Indians. We are holding a gathering there on August 2 2009. One of the names not mention, is also Francis and Jackson. This is the only Black Indian Reserve in the 1800's.ReplyDelete

I too had relatives who called this place home. My ancestors were the Francis clan who moved to the area from N.B.and assimulated with the Simms who also assimulated with the local aboriginals.We have called this place our homestead since we learned of our connection to this land. Many stories from our elders have been told of their history and their practices in this area. Many stories of clan members rowing from N.B. too Delaps Cove by canoe and to the Digby area. They were a strong people who lived off the land and especially the sea.

I wish I'd known about the 2009 gathering - I'd have liked to come to talk to people.
I'm an archaeologist and, as far as I know, the only archaeologist to have done any investigation in this area so far. I am preparing to defend my PhD dissertation(expect April/May 2011) - a significant portion of which forcuses on the cultural landscape of the African Diasporic people who settled the Delap's Cove community that is now abandoned except for Charlie M. I love this place and I believe in the testament of it to the lives of Black Loyalist descendents (not all Black Loyalists had been enslaved - some were born and lived free, but most had been enslaved at some point). Anyhow, just wanted to touchbase with folks. I'd love to do more work in Delap's Cove, with the interpretation and the archaeology, but I think commemorating it as it now sits would be an important component to the people's history. Also, I am very interested (once my dissertation is cleared) to further investigate the common heritage of L'nuk - particularly Mi'kmaq - and African Nova Scotians. It is a poorly understood and researched area that many people seem to remain interested in exploring. A man once showed me his family photo of siblings (and yes, his surname was Francis) and asked whether i'd call his family Black or Mi'kmaq - he and his siblings looked variously like one or the other community in their expression of physical traits - but they all had the same Mum & Dad....such a watershed moment in my learning!!!
Anyhow - thanks to all the folks interested in this work - it's encouraging to know that others might be interested in the work I've done because Delap's Cove is a special place to them too.

We went up to Sundance Resort for part of the holiday weekend, where the sun was totally sitting this one out. In fact, the Wasatch was doing a pretty close impersonation of the Great Smoky Mountains, complete with dripping trees and fog-topped peaks.
Still, Sundance is pretty special whatever the weather. Here's why you should get up there, rain or shine...
We have a lot of new luxury resorts - giant fortresses with flatscreen Tvs in the bathrooms and butlers on every floor - but none offer the simple luxury that Sundance maintains: a feeling of being part of the spectacular mountain scenery.
It's pure luxury to leave your cabin and walk down a trail to the main complex for dinner, through the woods, over the rushing river, on a path that's just asphalted over. It's luxury to have to watch your step. It's luxury that the wooden and log buildings are low, with seamed metal roofs, so they aren't prominent but remain discreetly tucked into the trees.
And dinner in the Tree Room is the same kind of luxury - not ostentatious, not glitzy, just excellent ingredients, simply cooked, so clear flavors sparkle on the palate.
I was not thrilled with my last visit to the Tree Room - it seemed tired, lackluster and lazy. But this visit, one bite of my quivery seared sea scallops, their sweetness offset by spicy crumbles of housemade chorizo, roasted corn kernels and a fragrant cumin vinaigrette, told me that the kitchen had come out of its coma.
Sure enough, it turns out that executive chef Mark Shoup had been in a hands-off position for awhile. Now he's back at the stove, and it shows. Morgan lamb loin chops (above) were jewels of ruby meat on long polished rib bones; instead of the usual starch, they came with crunchy grains of cooked farro. Roasted asparagus gave us some green, and an artichoke vinaigrette replaced the usual port or balsamic reduction or syrupy sauce.
The sous chef created the unusual curried banana apple soup of the day (Chef had been at Zoom in Park City, dealing with the chimney fire) which sounds unlikely, but came out more savory than sweet, and addictively aromatic.
The pepper steak, which has been on the menu forever, was likewise lightened. Yes, there were mashed potatoes, but wilted spinach and a chutney rescued this plate from the ranks of regular meat and potatoes. One of the Sundance wines, the DeLoach Russian River pinot noir, was great with both dishes.
Inventive and refreshing dessert - a chocolate-coated log of strawberry semifreddo wiht dried strawberries and, well, here was that port wine reduction! The satiny chocolate and caramel ice cream milkshake nearly did us in - the meal's equivalent of the wafer thin mint, if you know what I mean...
We never should have drunk the whole thing. But again - that counterintuitive luxury: the refreshing walk back to the cabin gave us time not just to contemplate but to digest our dinner.

What would you dream of doing career wise if you had no limitations? Often the limits are not insurmountable and you can pursue the dream career scenario if you are willing to try. If you can envision it, you can make it happen. Dreaming allows you to imagine and create what you want to accomplish. Chronicle those aha moments when inspiration strikes. Dreaming is cathartic, motivating, and energizing so be sure to include this in your personal career gift basket this holiday. Start career dreaming by:
· Creating a vision board to ponder the possibilities.
· Write your career dreams down and say them out load so others know your plans and can keep you accountable.
· Seek out mentors and sponsors whose advice and counsel may help you achieve your dreams.
· Being willing to take a risk on something new. By expanding your comfort zone you just may discover something wonderful.
As you wrap the presents, decks the halls, and take care of everyone else this holiday – don't forget how important you are in the equation. Focus on what you need and celebrate all that you do. You deserve great things this New Year as you design your career destiny so it doesn't happen by default. This is the greatest gift of all.

Local groups receive state arts grants
Published: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 6:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 25, 2013 at 6:28 p.m.
Seventeen local arts groups have received a total of $50,000 in state arts grants through the Arts Council of Wilmington and New Hanover County, the council announced Friday.
The grants come through the Grassroots Arts Fund from the N.C. Arts Council, a state agency. The local council administers the local grants and distributed the money after a months-long review process.
The grants marked an increase from last year, when 13 groups received a total of $22,000. Much of the increase was made possible through a matching grant from Duke Energy, according to Arts Council director Rhonda Bellamy.
The recipients, and their grants, are as follows:
Azalea Coast Chorus, $900; Bellamy Mansion Museum, $500; Big Dawg Productions, $1,600; Black Arts Alliance, $6,000; Brigade Boys & Girls Club, $1,500; Cape Fear Chorale, $2,000; Chamber Music Wilmington, $2,500; Cucalorus Film Foundation, $5,000; Dreams of Wilmington, $3,000; WHQR/Friends of Public Radio, $3,000; No Boundaries art colony, $2,000; Techmoja Dance and Theater Co., $4,500; Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts, $3,000; UNCW Presents, $3,000; Wilmington Ballet, $3,000; Wilmington Concert Association. $2,500; Wilmington Symphony Orchestra, $6,000.
New Hanover County received $44,611 in this year as its share of the state's Grassroots Arts fund. Of this total, half was used to fund ongoing operations of the local arts council.

Catholic Charities joined elected officials, religious leaders and advocates at St. Francis Xavier Church in Manhattan today to urge U.S. senators to vote against the harsh cuts to SNAP (food stamp) benefits passed today by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The U.S. House Farm Bill would slash SNAP funding by $9 billion – in addition to $5 billion in SNAP cuts that went into effect on November 1st.
"The people standing here today fear greatly for what may be in store," Catholic Charities Feeding Our Neighbors Director Jeanne McGettigan told the crowd. "The system is already strained to the limit. It isn't designed to bear this type of burden."
Catholic Charities food banks served 48% more meals in December 2013 compared with one year earlier. Hungry families, children and the elderly are trudging to food banks and pantries even on the coldest days, including January 7 when temperatures dropped into the single digits and New York officials urged everyone to stay home.
SNAP is our nation's first line of defense against hunger. More than half of SNAP recipients are children, seniors, veterans and people with disabilities. Meanwhile, low-wage workers who do not earn enough to afford sufficient food for their families make up an increasing number of SNAP recipients.
During this extended period of high unemployment, SNAP has helped millions of families afford the food they need. It also supports our economy at every link in the food chain, from the farmer to the consumer. Cutting SNAP puts jobs at risk in communities throughout New York.
Since the across-the-board cuts in SNAP took effect in November 2013, we have seen alarming levels of need created when benefits are reduced. The new U.S. Farm Bill cuts will take away hundreds of millions of meals from struggling households and individuals.
Catholic Charities and others that make up the last line of defense against hunger – including food banks, food pantries and soup kitchens – cannot fill in such a gap.
"There can never be enough grants and food drives to fill this gaping need," Ms. McGettigan said.
If you want to voice your opposition to these devastating cuts, contact the office of Senator Chuck Schumer and urge him to vote against the farm bill.

Finding The Diaper Bag—it's at the top of many a mom-to-be's to-do list. Sure, it may be less important than, say, choosing a pediatrician, but it's also way more fun.
Still, there's no need to get too wrapped up in finding The One. There's no rule saying mama is limited to a single carryall after all. Here are eight options perfectly suited for spring and summer. Which one would you choose? Or would you pick one for the beach and another for all those weddings you have on the calendar? I think I'd use the pretty pink bag by SugarJack even if I didn't have a baby—isn't it to die for?
