Hampshire Treasures
Volume 6 ( East Hampshire)
Page 273 - Rowlands Castle
|Previous page (Volume 6, Page 272)
|Next page (Volume 6, Page 275)
The Castle once stood to the east of the present-day centre of the village. Its towers and battlements are known to have been in good repair in the twelfth century, when Henry II spent several days there in hunting and amusement. The Castle is thought to have lasted until the mid-fourteenth century, and in the nineteenth century a report states "the remains of Rowlands Castle consists of two masses of wall which are about 10 feet thick with a fosse of considerable depth."
The parish of Rowlands Castle was formed in 1932 consisting of Blendworth parish, Idsworth parish (which had been attached to Chalton at one time) and parts of five other parishes. One of these, Havant (Redhill), provided Rowlands castle with a church, the Church of St. John, built about 1840 (registers date from 1841).
The 'Castle Inn' was in the possession of the Outen family for 200 years, and was said to have been the headquarters of a notorious gang of smugglers.
Idsworth House was erected in 1852, in the Elizabethan style, and was the property of Lorna, Countess Howe.
The ancient chapel of St. Hubert stands in the middle of a field, thought to be the site of a mediaeval village, on what was part of Idsworth Park. Parts of the chapel date from the twelfth century.

Santa Clarita residents began leaving for the inauguration Saturday.
More than 30 students from Academy of the Canyons High School shivered as they waited for a coach bus to shuttle them to the airport and catch a morning flight to Washington, D.C., for the Tuesday swearing-in.
"I'm too exited to be tired," said Cody Cooper, an Academy of the Canyons student.
The sun just started to peek over the mountains Saturday morning as the students piled into the coach bus in a parking lot at College of Canyons' Valencia campus.
Cooper, 17 of Canyon Country, is taking the trip one day at a time. "I'm actually excited about our inaugural ball. I'll be excited about the actual inauguration as it gets closer," he said.
The students from Academy of the Canyons attend an inaugural ball tonight. The ball is for high school students and gives kids the feel of a real inaugural ball, said Robert Walker, teacher and trip organizer.
Jenna Edzant, 17, of Stevenson Ranch, marked down two sites on her trip to Washington, D.C., that are must-sees. "I really want to see the Holocaust Museum and the Smithsonian," she said.
Inaugural balls and tours don't get Ashley Martin, 17, of Saugus, fired up.
"I have one goal, to see the inauguration. I've been to Washington before," she said.
Parents wiped away tears and waved to the coach bus as it pulled away.
The students will wade through security checkpoints at Los Angeles International Airport and board their flight at noon for a nearly six-hour flight, Walker said. "It's a long travel day," he said.
Other Santa Clarita residents are making their way to the inauguration.
Danielle Cooper spent Wednesday evening packing herself, her husband Dwayne and the couple's three daughters for their trip to the inauguration.
Cooper's three girls, Elle, 8, Iria, 6 and Elon, 3, may be too young to comprehend all the history surrounding this inauguration, she said. But Cooper wouldn't miss the chance to include her girls in this historic event, she said.
"They may not remember everything about the inauguration, but (her daughters) will always be a part of that moment," Cooper said.
With temperatures expected to hover near freezing in Washington, D.C., Cooper is more than prepared.
"I've got layers of clothes for the girls. These are California girls, so they aren't used to the cold," she said.
The cold gives the Cooper girls a chance to witness something they don't normally see in Southern California -- snow.
"We're going to Washington to make a snowman," said Elon, when asked why the family was making the trip. The three-year-old also planned to pack something special for her trip.
"I'm bringing a carrot for the snowman," she said.

Catholic Schools Week kicks off
CROWLEY – This week, January 25 through the 30th, marks the 36th annual Catholic Schools Week, during which the theme celebrated is "Catholic Schools Celebrate Service".
The theme holds a very strong meaning that the church holds close to its heart, as it calls for outreach and action in response to the needs of the local and global communities. Catholic Schools week 2009 offers much opportunity for Catholic students to serve the community through acts of love, such as serving the stranger, homeless, hungry, naked, sick and those imprisoned.
Catholic Schools Week is a joint project of the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the United States Catholic Conference (USCC), which was begun in the year 1974. The purpose of the week's celebration is to build community awareness of, and involvement in , Catholic schools throughout the country, and to encourage volunteerism in the Catholic community.
Acadia Parish Catholic schools will host events throughout the week in honor of this special week.
"Catholic Schools Week is a very special time for us at St. Michael School as we join together with Catholic schools throughout the nation to celebrate with our faculties, students, parents and communities the wonderful things happening in our faith based educational systems. This year "With Christ our Hope we Celebrate Service" and joyfully await the visit of our grandparents for our Faith Rally," said Myra Broussard, St. Michael School Principal.
Notre Dame High School, Redemptorist Catholic, St. Michael School in Crowley, and St. Francis School in Iota have listed events during which the community is welcome to attend. Each school will celebrate with special masses and a Pro life rally. Daily, different themes, such as "Jesus is our Hero Day," Student Appreciation Day and Grandparents Day will occur.
For a complete list of events, see page 7 of the Sunday, January 25 edition of the Crowley Post Signal.

|Dating Tier Lists & Match-Ups?
Member [04%]
So I started playing Puzzle Strike and while I was lurking the forums to try to learn a character, someone wrote "you're not playing a character, you're playing a match up" and I was like whoa, do people make these things for dating/relationships? Or, do people have their own personal match up charts/tier lists? Like here's my current tier list portfolio thing:
KI(ENFP/UMCP/Polisci) - a nice person but could do a very convincing impression of a jerk. bantered back and forth with me, it felt like living out scenes from The Importance of Being Earnest. sang duets with me . . . in public. about as unreliable, easily distracted and lazy as me. pronounced feminist(poked fun at). would tease me (loved it). also a huge fan of philosophy, literature and history. convinced that there is a god. would educate me about the world today. has an arbitrary preference for extremely tall men, which excludes me.
JQ(xNFJ/Harvard/History) - super nice productive person. likes to bake cookies. kicked my ass at Foosball & Super Smash & Mario Kart. accompanied me on the piano while we sang duets. also a huge fan of the arts and talking about philosophy. had lots of interesting things to say from traveling extensively. never cursed, disapproved of my cursing. I never teased her for some reason . . . probably the most not crazy person I've ever met.
CT(INTJ/UMCP/EE) - would smile and cuff me when I made fun of her (65%) or banter with me (35%). lived a spartan regime, very dedicated to her work and reading Manga. also had a slightly perverse sense of humor. impressed me with her ability to hold her own in a debate. could easily outrun me (I have this arbitrary rule of disliking being able to be outrun). also a huge fan of eating.
HV (ISFP/UVA/Art History) - really liked coffee, visiting museums and reading Manga. tomboy. super nice person. amateur painter. spent something like 95% of the time listening to me talk. would just smile when I made fun of her. always smelled very nice. surprisingly intensely competitive when it came to Tetris.
EK(ENTJ/Yale/Econ) - didn't think it was funny when I compared her to Steve Jobs. on several occasions made me think damn and I thought I was thick skinned. always impeccably dressed. liked to recite random facts/show off (not bad per se). was a mean bridge partner though.
Also, just curious, are there any kind of women who like to banter/play games with slightly narcissistic fops and if so where do I go to meet them?

Morning campers. I have a request for assistance. It's to do with my oik plugin (oik).
On this site www.Bobbing Widewebdesign.com when I enable either the oik-bwtrace or oik base plugin then slideshow-gallery-pro stops displaying the slideshow.
Hope you can help.
slideshow should go here
Ooh look – it's working. Thanks to ben huson for proving the old adage
given enough eyes every problem is shallow
See below for the solution.
Use your preferred browser to inspect the HTML that's been generated. You should see 6 images in a hidden list and some jquery code to do the cycling. But there's something wrong and it doesn't work!
problem determination performed so far
Is the problem reproducable?
Yes, but only on this site. When I deactivate my oik-bw-trace or oik base plugin then the slideshow cycles properly.
Can you reproduce it locally?
No? It works fine on my local (Windows) install
Can you reproduce it on other Linux installs?
No. It works fine on other sites – see http://twenty-tens.co.uk/sgp-oik
Have you compared working and non-working pages?
Yes. Using Google chrome I viewed source and saved the HTML then compared using BeyondCompare.
There were a couple of differences that didn't make sense. Some of the XHTML was not properly formed. bad ending tags…
we'll come back to this later.
No, I don't know how to.
Are versions the same on different sites?
Yes. WordPress 3.2.1, oik v0.7, slideshow gallery pro v 1.4.1 and my theme is bwdesign0715.
Have you deactivated other plugins?
I don't want to fiddle too much with Bobbing Widewebdesign.com so instead I installed the same plugins on another site and hoped it would wrong. Post Scriptum: It still works on the other site with the same set of plugins.
Why are your links so dim?
and did you know you've got a broken image in the right sidebar and two images which seem a bit too big.
Yes, thanks. There are many more [fob]s and [bong]s to fix.
[fob] [bong] oik – WTF?
For more information on [fob], [bong] and [hide] see www.[fob][bong][hide].com
For more information on oik see oik
Does it work on a page?
No. See this message duplicated on a single page
What plugins are activated?
See plugins I'm using on Bobbing Wide web design.com
have you uninstalled and reinstalled?
Yes, it didn't make any difference.
Are there any rogue files?
ie. Are there files that are not part of the plugins that are somehow intercepting the processing.
No. It's happened before but not this time.
Is the HTML good?
When we looked at the generated HTML again we saw some jQuery code that appeared to be embedded into a menu item… nowhere near the code that wasn't working. Then Ben noted that I'd included the shortcode in a page title. oops!
USER ERROR!! problem solved.
2 Responses to HELP needed with oik at #wordcampuk
I have read so many articles regarding the blogger lovers except this paragraph is actually a good post, keep it up.
Just wish to say your article is as astonishing.
The clearness for your publish is simply nice and that i can assume
you are a professional on this subject. Fine together with your
permission allow me to grasp your RSS feed to keep updated
with drawing close post. Thanks a million and please continue the rewarding work.

Led by Salem County Clerk Gilda Gill, 46 local residents were recognized by the county with commemorative booklets containing the names, branch of military, years served, and military awards and decorations for each of the veterans.
"We've held ceremonies for veterans in the past, and each time we like to focus on honoring a specific era of veterans," said Gill, adding that last year's Veterans Day ceremony honored World War II veterans. "This year we're giving honor specifically to our Vietnam vets."
During the event, the names of each veteran was read aloud to the applause of an audience, as representatives from the Marine Corps League presented veterans and their family members with the booklets and a salute.
The group also joined together in singing upbeat versions of "God Bless America" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic," led by vocalist Wendy Gill.
According to Carneys Point Township Committeeman Ken Dennis, who served in the Army Artillery in Vietnam and attended Friday's ceremony, the special ceremony was important in giving recognition to Vietnam veterans, who sometimes go overlooked.
"Vietnam veterans were not looked on favorably when they came home from war. It's not like today where people meet soldiers at the airport and celebrate them; we just melted back into the crowd," said Dennis. "The importance of this ceremony is for those that didn't receive the recognition they deserved, and to thank those that sacrificed for our country."
As part of the ceremony, veterans were invited up in front of the audience to speak about some of their memories from the war. Their memories ranged from lighthearted stories of getting caught in the rain, to the darker memories of losing comrades, and the harassment they faced after returning home.
John Miller Jr., a veteran of the U.S. Army who served from 1967 to 1969, shared heart-stirring story of how he was almost left for dead when his tank unit was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade. With a broken arm and a torn shoulder, Miller passed out in a flaming tank. It was only by the grace of God, he said, that he was miraculously discovered by rescuers and helicoptered to safety.
"The war took a lot of our lives. They were sending guys into a bad situation that was bad even before we started," said Miller, now a happily married family-man. "It changes your attitude about a lot of different things, and makes you wonder ... Life does a lot of strange things."

Is there much practice benefit to putting .22lr's out of an identical rig to your larger caliber pistols, relative to say, loading random snap caps and dry firing? The AA conversion for glock 19 looks like a lot of fun to me, but for the price to catch up practice-wise it would take 4 bricks of .22

At the present time our knowledge of the condition recognized as status lymphaticus, or as it is more commonly called by German writers — status thymicolymphaticus, is not based on etiology, but on physical characteristics.
It is not essential to the pursuit of clinical studies that we should have a theory of the disturbed physiology, which determines the abnormal physical individual, nor yet await the complete understanding of the separate or mutual functions of the various secreting tissues, before we admit the relation of the clinical findings to health and disease. What is important for the internist, and for the eugenist, is the recognition of a type of individual whose physical peculiarities seem to bear an important relation to his mortality, in certain infectious diseases, and to his susceptibility to some of the deteriorating influences which modern society tolerates or suffers from. This recognition of a type of person,

Once upon a time….
Happy Thursday Cougs, as we roll towards the New Year's weekend. You know you just have to love this time of year, with all this time off. I was lucky enough to get Monday and Tuesday off as company holiday, as my company was named in the Top 25 best companies to work for by Fortune magazine for 2012. A perk of getting in that coveted top-25? X-mas Eve AND New Year's Eve off as company holidays! In other words, back-to-back four-day weekends. In my line of work this is an extremely crazy/busy time of year, so I can't tell you enough how happy we all were to get these long holiday weekends.
But enough about me. A few days ago, WSU's official site took a stroll down memory lane with a look at the 1988 Aloha Bowl. It was cool to read their recap of the game, and brought back a few memories for yours truly. You see, the fall of '88 was when I finally decided I would head to WSU as a student, so that was a fun football season to watch and think about being in the stands the next year (of course, I hoped that the fall of '89 would include Dennis Erickson and Timm Rosenbach, but that's another story!). Anyway, that was a great finish for an excellent 9-3 football team, one that saw Rosenbach lead the country in passing efficiency after leading the world in INT's the prior year, and the Cougs had two 1,000+ yard running backs in Rich Swinton and Steve Broussard. Erickson's one-back attack was becoming the hot, cool new offense and really was part of a one-back revolution across the nation.
So with all these bowl games whizzing by left and right this time of year, of course it's a natural thing to think about good 'ol WAZZU and why it flippin' BLOWS that we are sitting this one out – again. And here's a few reasons why…..
1) NO NATIONAL TV – While this isn't nearly as big a deal as it used to be, what with the new Pac-12 network deal that assures every game is on at least a regional TV broadcast? Still, this is the time of year where many people in the country actually pay attention to your school. I mean think about it for a moment – how often do you as a Coug fan watch a team like SMU or Fresno State? Maybe once or twice in the season you might flip by them as you are checking out what games are on TV or you catch them on ESPN highlights or whatever, but for the most part you just don't see these teams. And I can assure you that goes both ways, as WSU to these people barely exist outside of Mike Leach or the WSU flag on Gameday.
In traveling for work this past year and talking to people in the south and east coast, it's sometimes astonishing to me how few of these college football fans I run into actually know who or what WSU is, let alone where we are or what conference we are in. I know that's hard to swallow for us Cougs, after all we're in the Pac-12 and we've had some big names here like Bledsoe, Erickson, Mike Price, etc. But all the losing over the last decade really does cut both ways – it hurts us here at home with the pain and apathy from losing, and it hurts the national picture of who or what WSU is.
I know we'll never be one of those "T-Shirt" schools, where you see random people in airports or whatever else wearing a Coug hat or sweatshirt, etc. Usually when you see someone wearing Coug paraphernalia, it's because they have some sort of connection to the school (Leo DiCaprio aside):
But at least around the turn of the century, when WSU was in the midst of a 30-8 run for three seasons? Like or not to the rest of the country, little 'ol WAZZU was ON THE TV this time of year! There was an awareness of who we were, and you just don't have that anymore. Maybe/hopefully that is about to change, and with the Pac-12, Leach, upgraded facilities and at least the regional TV exposure the conference now brings, that we are on the cusp of something good again. But it sure is easy to get left behind the rest of the college football universe when you stumble so much for so long.
2) NO BOWL SWAG – Forget just the experience of going to travel to some place warm this time of year and play a game against a decent opponent on national TV. I mean that's a perk for fans and players alike. But every year you hear about this, but bowl "swag" for the players is starting to become a big deal. Flat-screen TV's, iPad's, Best Buy gift cards, watches, sweat suits, bowl rings, etc, it's all a nice bonus for making a bowl game for those kids who basically kill themselves every week! Sure, some of that might not be a big deal if you are a working professional, but as an 18-22 year old college kid scraping buy as a student athlete, think about how cool it would be to suddenly get this kind of stuff??
Life if more about "stuff", obviously, and in the end it probably doesn't matter all that much. But what if you were a player at WSU, and one of your best friends from back home was playing at, say, Oregon. They have the clear advantage with their famous football facility as it is, but think of all the bowl swag they've picked up over the last four years. If you were just a college athlete, wouldn't you want a taste!? I sure would!
3) PRACTICES!?? YES, PRACTICES. One thing you always hear every coach say this time of year while prepping for a bowl game? The extra 15 practice sessions they get to prep for the bowl game. Now do they spend 3 weeks game planning and scheming for the upcoming opponent? Some programs might do that, but, others might spend 10 of those 15 practices rolling with their young players and getting them extra reps that they might not get otherwise during the grind of the regular season. In other words, it really can be sort of like a post-season mini-camp, or even an abbreviated spring practice schedule if you want to go that far.
Now, some of you might roll your eyes at the very thought of extra practices. Does it really matter all that much? Well, when you are a young team, I believe more reps under the watchful eyes of the coaching staff can only benefit the program going forward. This isn't the same as doing 7-on-7 skeleton drills organized by the team leaders on the roster in, like, July, these are real practices with the coaches who can be hands-on and involved in what's going on.
But then you think about all the extra practices that a program, well, a program like UW has had under Steve Sarkisian compared to WSU has had in the same period. With Sark's three bowl appearances, that's 45 MORE practices UW has had over WSU in just the last three years. While some of the upper classmen might not get a ton out of the bowl practices, how about those frosh and redshirt guys who are just scout team fodder for the regular season? You think about all the extra opportunities they get to, well, get better, and you can see what an advantage having those extra official practice sessions can really mean over a three-or-so year period. AND YES, I'm well aware WSU actually beat UW this year! But they've still won three of the last four in the series, so I still believe they have an advantage in this category.
So there you go. Home for the holidays is great for you and me, I guess. But again, let's all hope we are on the cusp of a new era in Pullman with a lot of good things to look forward to, but for now? Not so much.
All for today. Enjoy your Thursday, and of course, GO COUGS!

Contrary to what you may think, portable computers didn't simply pop up on the market in the late 90s. Now, let's have a quick history lesson!
First, it was Alan Kay's Dynabook concept, developed in the early 70s, at Xerox PARC, currently simply known as PARC (Palo Alto Research Center, Inc.). Despite of not ending up with a product of its own, the Dynabook concept set the guiding lines for the things to come…
A decade later, in 1981, the Osborne 1 became the first commercial portable computer, with a 5-inch CRT display, 65 kilobytes of memory, a 4MHz Z80 CPU, a price tag of $1795 and a weight of over 23 pounds (10kilograms). Despite the commercial success of the Osborne 1, Osborne Computer Corporation filed for Bankruptcy in September 1983…
By the end of the 80s, portable computers got much closer to what we have today, the NEC UltraLite being probably the first notebook, with a weight a bit over 2 kg. Released in the summer of 1989, the UltraLite wasn't quite a market hit, due to the lack of a hard drive and its old 8086 CPU, but set the foundation of a new portable computer class, the notebook (due to its A4 size).
Apple entered the portable computer market the same year, with the Macintosh Portable, which had a lot of problems, and was rated in 2006 by PC World as "the 17th worst tech product of all time". No need to say more!
Despite the Portable's failure, Apple came back in 1991, intoducing the PowerBook series and, together with it, pioneering changes that became standards, like the placement of the keyboard, the room for palm rest, and the built-in pointing device (trackball, in that case).
From that moment, things started moving faster and faster, so today we have a PC market where laptops sales have just exceeded the amount of desktop computers sold, and the portable computers market keeps growing…
If you're here, than you should know that if it's a mobile computer, then its place belongs to LaptopsArena! From tiny ultra-mobiles (UMPCs) to powerful desktop replacements, we try to bring you all the hot news about them, as well as related devices, such as tablets, PDAs or handheld computers.
Most people using portable computers loved laptops from the beginning, or started to love them in time, and so do we. We're here because we love laptops, we are crazy about technology, and we want to share everything we find out about newer and older models with you, so feel free to get back here as often as you wish.
Laptopjoy's gates are always open, just remember to bookmark us – www.LaptopJoy.com !

The seeds of several varieties of Morning Glory (Ipomoea violacea) contain a naturally occurring tryptamine called Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA), which is closely related to LSD. Seeds are taken orally, and can be eaten whole or the active alkaloids can be extracted.
The most common active varieties of seeds are Heavenly Blue, Pearly Gates, and Flying Saucers. Like LSD, LSA acts as a "psychedelic" or "hallucinogen" which can have strong mental effects.

Bonneau police arrested two suspects early Saturday after a meth lab was discovered in a traffic stop, authorities said.
According to Police Chief Franco Fuda, officers pulled over a black Dodge Charger around 3:50 a.m. The car was driven by William Clifford Casselman, 42, of Main Street, Fuda said. Destry Sweatman, 49, was identified as a passenger. Both suspects are of Bonneau, Fuda said.
Authorities searched the car and found a meth lab, he said.
Casselman and Sweatman were charged with possession of methamphetamine, attempt to manufacture methamphetamine, manufacture of methamphetamine within a half mile of a public park and playground, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, Fuda said.
Casselman received an additional charge of failure to use a turn signal. He was out on bail regarding a previous arrest by Berkeley County sheriff's deputies on Dec. 9. In that incident, Casselman was charged with possession of methamphetamine and attempt to manufacture the drug, Fuda said.
St. Stephen police and sheriff's deputies assisted authorities in the most recent arrests. State Law Enforcement Division agents were notified of the incident and the meth lab was secured, Fuda said.
Casselman was held at the Berkeley County jail in lieu of a $222,933 bail, Fuda said. Sweatman was also held in lieu of a $122,933 bail, he said.

Pro-life groups in Maryland are hoping state regulators will revoke an abortionist's medical license and file murder charges after a patient under his care died.
State authorities are investigating the death of 29-year-old Jennifer Morbelli, who passed away Feb. 7, just days after receiving an abortion from late-term abortion doctor Leroy Carhart.
An initial medical examiner's report shows she suffered from a "complication related to childbirth in which amniotic fluid was pushed into her bloodstream."
Now, the group Operation Rescue is seeking second-degree murder charges against Carhart, saying Morbelli's family was unable to reach him as her condition worsened and that he, in fact, had left town.
"There was no one for the family to contact when her condition began to deteriorate back at the hotel. She was not properly monitored. They knew it," Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy adviser for Operation Rescue, said.
Jack Ames, co-founder of Defend Life, said, "He left for Nebraska and later that evening she was bleeding profusely and she had to go to the nearby hospital."
Montgomery county police say their investigation into Morbelli's death "remains active" while they wait for the full autopsy report.
Pro-life groups also want the Maryland Board of Physicians to revoke Carhart's medical license. Some protestors recently stood vigil outside the building while the board met.
More than 1,300 people have signed a petition online, asking the board to take action.
Maryland medical examiner's office says a full autopsy report takes 60 to 90 days to complete.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
These shoes are PLEATHER(sole IS leather).... so they do not give, mold to your foot or breath. Be aware, that the higher the heel, the more your foot is pushed forward. so maybe order a half size up. the 1.5 " heel I was a true 8 1/2 ( my normal size) but in the 2" heel I prob. should have ordered a 9.
Age: 40-49
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
As a male with extra wide feet who often takes female roles, I needed a character shoe I could tap dance in. This shoe fits *way* better than the medium shoe I was previously using for rehearsal. We'll see how long it lasts, but it didn't need much breaking in!
This discount dance supply website recommends ordering a 1/2 size up for women from street size. I did so, and the shoes were way too big. I'll try again with my street size and hope that they get a good fit. I did not wear them for dancing, as I needed to return them. I will update once I get a pair I can dance in.

KALAMAZOO, MI -- Once a month, Nona MacKenzie would boil potatoes, mash them, put them in fried cake batter and fry them in lard.
As early as the mid-1950s, her grandson, John MacKenzie, said he remembers her process, which dates back to 1932, and the response from people when she sold them from a roadside stand in South Haven, where, along with her husband Henry Woods "Cap" MacKenzie, they sold produce from their farm, as well as bread, sweet rolls, pies and potato fried cakes.
"They were so good. They were the hit of South Haven ... People would line up to get them," John MacKenzie said.
The family continued the tradition with John MacKenzie and his sister Mary eventually opening their own bakery in Kalamazoo in 1980 (you can read more about the family's history here). MacKenzies' Bakery opened its second location in Portage in the late '80s and opened its newest building on Harrison Street in 1998.
MacKenzies' Bakery was the Kalamazoo Gazette staff selection in MLive.com's Michigan's Best Doughnut search. MLive.com's John "Gonzo" Gonzalez will travel to 33 doughnut shops and bakeries in 10 days to determine which makes the best doughnuts.
He will begin his search at 7 a.m. Friday, March 14 at Sweetwater's Donut Mill on Stadium Drive -- an iconic entity in the state -- before heading to MacKenzies' Bakery at around 8:15 a.m.
Gonzo will be considering overall selection, quality of ingredients and taste. He will sample one plain, ring doughnut and each bakery's Top 3 sellers or those they feel make their place something special.
The public is encouraged to attend and sample doughnuts with us.
John MacKenzie said his bakery offers as many as 15 doughnuts on any given day. They are made fresh daily, he said. He uses a modernized adaptation of his grandmother's recipe to make the top-seller, the Fried Cake Doughnut, which uses potato and wheat flour. He called it a "no frills doughnut that's a pretty incredible product" and perfect for dunking in coffee.
"Our fried cake is really incredible," he said.
His grandmother's version is just too heavy to see to today's consumer, he said.
He plans to showcase it, as well as a Custard-Filled Long John and his favorite, the Chocolate Fried Cake.
MacKenzies' Bakery will celebrate its 34th anniversary in April.
John MacKenzie said doughnuts make up between 10 to 15 percent of total sales at the bakery, which also specializes in bread and cake.

Is it possible to choose low calorie Mexican food in American-style Mexican restaurants? Not easily. Watching your calorie intake means steering clear of the oversized portions of fried foods smoothered with cheese and sour cream. Traditional Mexican food was nothing like this.
Traditional Mexican food featured high fiber complex carbohydrates with lots of vegetables and fresh flavor. Common foods included beans, corn, squash, tomatoes, avocado, peanuts, potatoes, and turkey. It wasn't till the Spaniards arrived in the 1500s that wheat, pork, beef, and chicken were added to the traditional diet. The Spaniards were also responsible for introducing the concept of frying.
Even today, fried foods such as burritos, deep-fried tacos, and flautas are known in Mexico as "northern cuisine". This refers to the region of Mexico that borders the United States.
No matter how healthy and lower calorie the original Mexican diet may have been it is difficult to find low calorie Mexican food in the United States. Most of the food served in American-style Mexican restaurants has been modified to suit American tastes.
What to keep in Mind
Traditional Mexican tortilla preparation called for steaming or grilling not frying. Whenever possible look for baked, grilled, and soft tortillas on the menu. Choose soft tacos, baked quesadillas, and salsa as a sauce or dip.
Salsa made with fresh tomatoes and other vegetables, whether a commercial variety or homemade, is almost always a low calorie choice. The tricky part is figuring out how to skip the chips that get served with the salsa. Your best bet may be to ask your server to not set any out on the table. But your eating partners won't be happy with that!
Other words that may alert you to dishes to avoid include crispy, fried, and covered with cheese or sour cream. Watch out for large portion sizes, refried beans, and chimichangas. Desserts are often fried so choose instead to skip dessert or have a piece of fruit when you get home.
Some possible substitutions you might make include:
Chicken fajitas (marinated chicken grilled with onions, green peppers, lettuce, diced tomatoes with a soft corn tortilla) instead of quesadillas
Grilled shrimp instead of nachos
Chicken enchiladas with salsa instead of flautas, chimichangas, or burritos covered with cheese
Grilled fish or chicken instead of carnitas (fried beef or pork) or chorizo (sausage)
Decide what to order before you leave for the restaurant
Your best choice for keeping track of your calorie count when eating Mexican is to check menu choices online before you head out to eat. No matter what guidelines you may be given the calorie counts for any given menu item will vary considerably depending on the restaurant and method of preparation. One of my favorite calorie count sites for getting a quick overview of the calories in various restaurant meals is Calorie Lab. (For more calorie count sites see my previously posted article, Calorie Counts and Nutrients: Best Sites Online )
Finding low calorie meals is difficult. You might decide to pick a higher calorie meal that you will split with someone else or box up half to bring home before you even start eating.
Here's a few lower calorie Mexican restaurant choices I found with a quick search:
The Acapulco Restaurant y Cantina offers a Halibut Filet with Salsa Tomatillo (a light and flaky grilled Alaskan halibut filet) served with fresh vegetables and rice for 420 calories.
Baja Fresh Mexican Grill has a "Bare Burrito" (charbroiled chicken, grilled peppers, chilies and onions, fresh chopped cilantro, Pico de Gallo and salsa served on rice with fresh black or pinto beans) for 640 calories. Split with someone else or choose to save ½ to 1/3 to take home.
Daddios Italian and Mexican Take & Bake has a Chicken Mexican Salad (salad mix, chicken or beef, tomatoes, black olives, onions, cheese, tortilla chips) for 392 calories (one small salad).
Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill found mostly in California seems to offer a variety of Corn Tortillas and Tacos with fish and chicken for less than 350 calories each.
Making Mexican at Home
A great way to satisfy your desire for Mexican food without all the calories is to make it yourself at home! I found an informative YouTube video on how to prepare the ingredients for low calorie chicken fajitas in quantity. Enjoy!

Was the red snapper you just ate really red snapper?
It might not be. The food industry was stunned by results from a recent study that exposed "fish fraud" — mislabeled seafood and fish products — to be surprisingly common in the U.S.
In February of this year, Oceana, an international nonprofit dedicated to ocean conservation, launched a full-scale investigation into seafood fraud in the U.S.
The investigation took 1,251 samples from 674 retail outlets in 21 states to make sure that the fish and seafood was correctly labeled. Shockingly, the investigation found that over one-third of the fish that was DNA sampled was mislabeled according to Food and Drug Administration regulations.
Of the fish samples the organization collected, snapper and tuna were most likely to be misrepresented. In fact, only seven of the 120 samples taken of red snapper were confirmed to truly be snapper. The rest of the samples were actually cheaper, lower-quality fish, intentionally mislabeled as snapper in order to bring higher market prices.
The results were quickly circulated throughout the media, and the U.S. government took notice. In March, Congress introduced the Safety and Fraud Enforcement for Seafood (SAFE Seafood) Act, which will require traceability — from fisherman to table — for all seafood products. The act will fight "fish fraud" and aims to provide consumers with correct information about what they're eating.
So what does this mean for restaurants that serve fish and seafood? Responsible restaurant owners can fight back against this problem by only supplying their restaurants with seafood that comes from a traceable source. Seafood fraud not only affects consumers' wallets, it also has the potential to take advantage of and even damage the reputation of honest vendors and restaurant owners. Consumers have the right to know where their food comes from, and all of us, as food lovers, are affected by this nationwide problem.
In my world, one of menu labeling, it's difficult to provide accurate food labels for diners if the product itself isn't quite what it's made out to be. The shocking revelation that what we're buying and serving might not be what it seems should be enough to push all of us to demand transparency and honesty within the food industry.

Canaan Lan'
Canaan Lan': An Integrated Arts Residency on the Underground Railroad and Black Migration to Canada
The Nathaniel Dett Chorale is pleased to offer a curriculum-based integrated arts residency called Canaan Lan', on the theme of the Underground Railroad and Black Migration to Canada. The residency comes with a study guide for teachers of elementary school students that includes lesson plans, rubrics, curriculum documents, terms and definitions, and additional resources.
Originally developed for middle school students in Grade 8, Canaan Lan' was piloted with a group of students and teachers at Appleby College, Oakville, ON in January 2004. It was subsequently used as an integrated teaching module in the Toronto District School Board's Northwest 6 family of schools in 2005/2006. Canaan Lan' includes several learning modules that can be customized to your school's budget and needs. While it was piloted with Grade 8 students, the Canaan Lan' residency was designed to be expanded for a wide age range, from Grades 1-12. Available learning modules are as follows:
- A professional development workshop for teachers, led by Brainerd Blyden-Taylor and The Nathaniel Dett Chorale
- A one-hour lecture for students by Brainerd Blyden-Taylor, on the history and relevance of the Spiritual
- A choral component: students learn three Afrocentric choral works, and perform them at the end of the project in a concert with The Nathaniel Dett Chorale (see below.)
- Classroom visits by the individual singers of the Chorale to provide support to teachers in delivering program content
- Workshops and a dramatic presentation by a professional storyteller on the Spirit of Harriet Tubman (separate arrangements may be necessary for this module)
- Workshops on African Rhythms with a professional drummer
- A study guide including lessons on the following themes: the Underground Railroad, Crossing into Canada, the History of the Spiritual, Composer R. Nathaniel Dett, Map to Freedom (History/Geography/Drama), Follow the Drinking Gourd (Music History/Composition), and One Way Ticket (Drama/History/Geography). The study guide also includes terms and definitions, additional resources, and rubrics for elementary school students based on the Ontario Curriculum
- A final concert by The Nathaniel Dett Chorale for students, parents and teachers, in which the participants in the choral component perform their pieces with the Chorale
- Subsidized tickets to a performance in the Toronto concert season of The Nathaniel Dett Chorale
Coming Soon: More Integrated Arts Residencies from the Nathaniel Dett Chorale
The Nathaniel Dett Chorale has several other Integrated Arts Residencies in development. They include:
- God's Trombones: A residency focused on contemporary Canadian settings of Afrocentric poetry by the literary giant James Weldon Johnson
- Voices of the Diaspora: A residency focused on the evolution of music in Africa and the African diaspora – Afro-Cuban, Afro-Brazilian, Haitian, Trinidadian, Ghanaian, Zambian, Afro-Colombian, etc.
- Drummondville to Africville: A residency devoted to the study of African-Canadian communities and their contributions to Canadian culture

October 4, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
2012 will be a big year for Britain, says Travel Agent Magazine. London is prepping for a series of blockbuster events, starting with the Queen's Jubilee in June, honoring Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's 60 years on the throne (can we say gigantic flotilla on the Thames?) If you're eager to get in on the action, and also partake in Olympic fever, it's best to book your hotel room ASAP. The USA Today reports that "hotels are expected to fill about 92% of their rooms, which will mean many sold-out nights"-- according to a new forecast from Pricewaterhouse Coopers. "And that's despite a number of new hotels that have opened, including Dorchester Collection's tony 45 Park Lane in Mayfair and Starwood's trendy W in the heart of Leicester Square."
Looking for a hotel in London or the surrounding area? Five Star Alliance has a number of recommendations- whether you want a family-friendly boutique hotel or an opulent palace on the Thames. There are also a slew of four-star hotels available.

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Padres have struggled offensively this season. They entered Friday's game with 20 runs in nine games. But they did plenty enough damage to beat the Detroit Tigers, who didn't do anything at all in the batters' boxes.
Chase Headley had a two-run home run off Rick Porcello on Friday night and the Tigers hitters couldn't figure out starter Andrew Cashner in their 6-0 loss to the Padres.
The Tigers finished with just one hit.
The Padres scored just two runs in 18 innings Wednesday while splitting a doubleheader with the Cleveland Indians and were averaging 2.2 runs per game coming in. But they tagged Porcello for two runs in the first inning Friday.
Porcello, aided by some timely double plays, limited the damage for a while. But Headley made it 4-0 in the bottom of the sixth when he smacked a two-run home run to right field.
The Tigers did not have a hit off Cashner until Rajai Davis singled to center field with one out in the sixth. That ended a streak of 14 consecutive Tigers retired by Cashner that dated back to a walk to Victor Martinez in the first inning.
Cashner struck out a career high 11 batters and issued two walks while throwing a complete game.
It was the first time the Tigers have been shut out during the 2014 season. The Tigers were shut out 12 times in the regular season in 2013.
Tigers' highlights
-- The Padres had back-to-back singles to start the third inning, but Porcello got out of the jam unscathed. He got Jedd Gyorko to look at a called third strike, then got Chase Headley to hit a dribbler in front of the mound that Alex Avila picked up to start a 2-6-3 double play.
-- The Padres put the leadoff hitter on for the third time in four innings when Yonder Alonso led off the fourth with a double to the corner in right field. But the Tigers again bailed out Porcello with a double play. Alonso was on third base with one out when Rene Rivera hit a sinking line drive that Miguel Cabrera snagged. Cabrera stepped on the bag before Alonso could get back for the third out of the inning.
Tigers' lowlights
-- Don Kelly ranged a long way into the gap in right-center but couldn't gather in a ball hit by Jedd Gyorko in the first inning. The ball bounced in and out of Kelly's glove right before Kelly crashed awkwardly into the wall. Austin Jackson retrieved the ball, and Gyorko ended up on third with what was ruled a triple that gave the Padres a 1-0 lead. Kelly stayed down for a spell but remained in the game. Chase Headley followed the triple with a double to make it 2-0.
-- The Padres put the leadoff hitter on base for the fourth time in the game when Seth Smith led off the sixth inning with a double. Porcello escaped a few other Padres threats, but Headley didn't make it easy this time. He hit a 2-2 slider from Porcello well over the fence in right to make it 4-0.
-- The final line for Porcello: 6.1IP, 10H, 5R, 5ER, 0BB, 5SO. He threw 91 pitches, 66 for strikes.
Game notes
-- Davis stole second and then stole third in the sixth inning after picking up his team's first hit of the game. That gave him five stolen bases this season. Davis has now stolen a base in four consecutive games, the first Tigers player to do that since Josh Anderson accomplished the feat in April 2009.
-- Torii Hunter was not in the starting lineup after suffering a left knee contusion Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Hunter expects to be back in the lineup Saturday.
-- Luke Putkonen made his season debut for the Tigers in relief of Porcello. Evan Reed pitched the eighth inning.

A few weeks ago I heard a sermon about wisdom.
I wisely took notes, then lost them and forgot much of what the pastor said.
But I do remember one thing. He said God came to King Solomon in a dream and said he could ask for anything and he'd give it to him.
What's the one thing you want most, Sol? Riches? Power? A BMW and a penthouse overlooking the city? Good health? Long life? A soft-serve ice cream machine out by the pool?
Solomon acknowledged God's great kindness to his father, King David, and now to him as king of Israel.
June 13 is a very special day in the history of African-Americans. It was situated in a week that was set aside to recognize that our community is no longer segregated, but unified in an attempt to become viable members of society and to recognize the accomplishments of local communities.
It was befitting on this special day that the First Annual Two Mile Road Reunion was held on the Gayle and Branom properties.
REACH of Northern Kentucky is a Christ-centered nonprofit organization whose goals are to reduce substance abuse among youth and adults and to raise community awareness to the monumental problem of drugs we are facing.
What does the clip clop of a horse-drawn carriage, raspberry-lemon scones, Benedictine On Rye, an 1800s girl's finishing school, a riverboat pilot, historical museum and a civil war soldier have to do with a world cup gun shoot? For goodness sakes.
It all happened in Owenton Friday, thanks to the generosity and hard work of a number of people and community groups.
"Here in Kentucky … [the] past has always felt close and I've always felt connected to it, sprung from it, like it or not. Down the road from my house is an old family graveyard. One of the graves there is for a woman whose first name was America. Even though I live in the middle of nowhere, sometimes it feels like I live in the center of it all."
Poet Maurice Manning, Southeast Review, 2008
I would like to applaud the Owen County Arts Council for the wonderful "Arts in the Park" fair last Saturday. It was evident that a lot of planning and hard work made the event a success.
It was an impressive mix of excellent exhibitions, talented musicians, accomplished artists, and skilled craftsmen.
Thanks guys for making this happen.

This July 4 will find people from all over Kentucky converging on the steps of the capitol building in Frankfort. A great many of these folks will be coming on buses from such cities as Elizabethtown, Louisville, Somerset and many others. This will be the second "tea party" conducted this year at the capitol building. The first one was held on April 15.
Alright, I will admit it.
I was wrong.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a column decrying the uselessness of Twitter, the Internet service that allows people to send short blasts of information to a list of people who sign up to receive them. In most cases, these 140-character blasts are used to carry irrelevant tidbits like "home from work now. going to take a nap" or "wearing my new sneakers and they are GREAT."
