On Glade mountain, West Virginia, resides the ''coincident Franklins." a family which is, in one respect at least, the most peculiar of any in the whole country. 'Hie Franklins are a family of coincidences. The father and mother were married on the lith of October. They have had nine children, ail of whom were born on the Itta of October. Five of tile nine are (lea* i, and, st rat re to say, every single one of til era bn dried his hist on the fateful I Itll day of October. The name of the head of the family is Joshua Franklin. He was a Confederate soldier, and was captured twice and had two brothers killed in tile war between tile states. All four of these mishaps and misfortunes of war oe urred on the memorable 14th day of October. In the neighborhood where tile Franklin family live, and, in fact, for miles outside of their immediate latitude, the "Franklins of Glade mountain" are looked upon with superstitious awe. It is said that not a single human being who knows of Lie mystery surrounding tho family can V* prevailed upon to stay in the house or about the premises oil Other the day or night cl Oct. II.—St. L ans Republic. nl NERY long ago there were three prominent living veterans of the stage—William Warren, John Gilbert and Charles W. Couldock. When Warren and Gilbert, were gathered to their fathers Couldock was left alone, the Nestor of the theatrical profession in America. Cimrle.s A alter Couldock was born in I london in I !.». Us lather died when the son was but 4 yours of ag*.*, mol ho was brought un by bis grand moi V,--* H-- was educated at Doctor's commons, and only allowed to attend the theatre twice a year —at ( hristmas and Easter, in company wit ii the housekeeper When he reached tai* age of ii; he made up his mind lie had seen enough of the theatre, and went to work in a-ilk warehouse. At the age of 14 he was a great reader of Byron, who a few years before had died in Greece, and whose works were t hen idolized by every youngster w bo had any literary taste what ever Young Couldock read "Werner," and was desirous of going to the theatre once more to see it played. Singularly enough the play was soon announced at the Drury Lane theatre, and Couldock went to se-^ it. W Ck Macready played Werner, and from that the hid who sat in the audit ne ■ wrapt in admiration felt a desire to become an actor. On Ids I wenty-lirst birthday his grand mother died — his mother, singularly enough, dud on his eighteenth birthday— and he then determined to either travel and see the world or goon the stage. While the acceptance of a position in a wholesale house at Rio Janeiro was being considered he had an opportunity to appear at the Sadler Wells theatre by buying £10 worth of tickets. Couldock made his first appearance as Othello—ii somewhat pro mi neat part for one who had never trod the boards before. Ile was encouraged by the presence of his friends in the silk house, who turned out in force at his debut. Af ter the performance they held a meeting, and ii committee was appointed iv iii. Ii in a few days presented him with £50 to start him as .-in actor. Ile obtained an en ;age-ment to appear at the Theatre Royal, Farnham, in Surrey. This theatre turned out to be a room in the Buck's Head tavern, and his nominal salary was fifteen shillings per week—which he never got. But he had goo ! [airts to play and he was satisfied. Then he be ame a barn stormer The barns were not itch unattractive places, however, tis one would suppose, for they were covered on the interior with green baize, or otherwise adorned. Coujnbck played the leading characters. The distance bet ween the different towns where the company played was generally from fifteen to twenty miles, and he always walked from town to town and studied on the road, getting up in such parts as Rich ani. Hamlet and the leading Shakesperean characters During this period he played with the great Yam!- nhotT. Charles Keene and Ellen Tree, who afterward became Mrs Keene. In a year or two Couldock went to london, and was offen d an engagement by Macready. At this time als.) Charlotte Cushman, who was in England, ottered him an engagement to play leading [girts with her in America. Couldock accepted Miss Cushman's otter, and rea-un-d New Y'-.rk in the autumn of IMI. opening at tile Broad wav theatre in the "Stranger" Mr. Couldock, impersonating the character, was accustomed to weir the same pair of shoes that he wore when he first played the part. Ile bought them in England when he first came over, aud wore them first on the street. When they began to get shabby he wore them In the appropriate parts on tile stage. They grew more aud more dilapidated, and gradually descended in the social scale until 1851, when Mr. Couldock found them just right for the part in which lie univ wears them, and for that part he has worn them and carefully prose: veal them ever since. Ile said of t hem: "They are not a sightly pair of boots, but ti lore's a deal of character in them, aud I wouldn't part with them for a storeful of new ones." SONGS WE USED TO SING.

Seven years later occurred tlie (- u-i)i^tod Astor Place riots in New Y ork, in U rich Mr. Macready was so siintiH fully treated. The critics abused Con hi i ck a ti mercifully. The Philadelphia Dispatch alone would have snuffed out the genius of a less persistent person. "The only decent t iling," said this paper, "that Couldock did in 'Macbet h'was his fight and his death, and if that had occurred iii the iir-u act instead of the fifth the audience would have been greatly relieved." Couldock managed lo weather the preliminary squall, and after MLs Cushman I- ft again foi Europe he went to the Walnut Street theatre, Philadelphia, where he remained four years as leading man, becoming a gn at favorite. During this time the famous Mine. Celeste played a star engagement at the theatre, and produced the "Willow Copse," in which Mr. Couhlock appeared as Luke Fielding. This was Couldock's first great hit. After the [day, answering a call before the curtain, he led Mine. Celeste forward. Instead of assuming the oval ion to be hers she presented Mr. Couldock to the audience and said to him, "T his play belongs to you and you only." She did more than til is. She present i «i him with a copy of the play, and he continued to play iii ii for many years. Mr. Couldock was connected with one of the oddest incidents in the history of the American stage. He was engaged to play for the season of 1858-9 at Laura Keene's theatre in New Y ork. The season opened with the "Willow Copse," which ran one wee k, a long time in those days, and was followed the next week by Mr. Couldock's great success "Louis XI." One day splay was read to Couldock and Sothern, who was also of the company, with a view to their taking [tarts. "There's nothing in that for me, and I won't play it." said Couldock. Sothern said the same. This brought Miss Keene to see them. 8he told them that the I lacker was in love with the play, and was determined that it should be produced. Indeed, she intimated to the two actors that they would either have to take parts or leave the company. Both were rather hard up at tin-time, and felt cor-traincd to yield. Mi'S Re tie. however, threw a sop to them by tailing them to do anything they liked v hi, their parts, intimating at the «am -t ime that the play would probably run but a wi ck. Acting upon this hint S--thorn "^ityed" his part, with a view to making it ridiculous. That play was the celebrate i "American Cousin." Sot hern's caricature of Lord Dundreary made him famous; Joe Jefferson's Asa Trenchant brought, r- nutation to the.future great Rip Y in Winkle, and Coin.lock's Abel Mur-cott surely did him no harm. Indeed it was a great advantage to be in such a ['I ii even in a mediocre part. That play had the longest run any play every had in America up to that time. Mr. Jefferson afterward paid $450 premium for a box at a benefit for tho man who as Abel Munco; t had helped him to make his name rn the "American Cousin." Mr. Couldock's great part of late years has been Dunstan Kirke, in the play of "Hazel Kirke." which was suggested by the "Willow Copse." the two being very similar; but Couldock said that the old plav was immensely stronger and better than t he new one. "Hazel Kirke" is, however, known to the present generation, while ifs predecessor is not. rntrodnc'Hon of tho New Motive Power Would Ullin the Industry. There has appeared in a mechanical publican a th-* following statement: An electric, engineer, of Buffalo, suggests a. plan to reduce very largely the cost of trauspMjrtation on the Erie cantil. His plan is to adopt the trolley system, now generally in use on street railways, to the canal. If the overhead trolley system i in be applied to street railways at a cost of about half that of horse pow r. he argues, why can it not take the place of canal mules with a like reduction of cost? The poles and other .appliances tor the overhead wires, aud in fact the whole plant, covering tile whole length of the canal, could bt readily arranged without hindrance to navigation. The span would not be too wide at any point. A reporter asked the opinion of Mr. William C. Miller, the el* vineal engineer of the Watervliet Railroad company. Mr. Miller said: "Why, certain- I Iv it can be (lone. I do not see why tile ; some motive power of turning a wheel by the electric current cannot be utilized on a canal boat as well as on a car. The only question is Hie cost. If they want to put through such a scheme it will cost money. As to there being a reduction of expense from that required for horse or mule power I cannot say, as I am not well enough acquainted with the canal to know." A very extended and interesting opinion on the feasibility of the canal electrical scheme was given by Mr. John D. Ronan, of the Ronan Towing line. Mr. Ronan said: "The plan which yon explain to me is not ti new one by any means. The first n an who broached the Erie cantil trolley system to me was an Albanian, who is demented on the subject of electricity. I think of course merely from a practical, not a scientific, point of view that the scheme is impracticable. "There tire a thousand and one objections to it which pres* ut themselves to any mind. Take, for instance, the troll* y scheme. It must be remembered that it is canal boats aud not horse cars that are to be run now. The horse car is forced to go in a certain line by the solid tracks. But would not a canal boat waver so from side to side that it would be impossible to keep a trolley wheel on that set wire? Then there would be Hie continual probability of the wires blowing down and in other ways being damaged. How are the trolleys to "fie managed going through locks? Boats, you know, do not travel up and down grade in an inclined position as a car does—ti icy are always on a level. What would they do .it the sixteen locks with the trolley sy-teni? "1 think tile trolley system on the j canal is utterly out of question. It em- ; braces □ ray points where complies-1 tions might arrie, and se much cost of ; construction, that I think it is entirely impracticable. Supposing it were adopt- j cd. Supposing that all the 7.000 or more ; boats on the canal wire on that one, or the two. wires. At any tune a boat, is liable to leak or to have .'in accident oc- -cur to its motor. What then is to be ; done? It would block the whole canal, I and that could not be afforded. One of the main points—I will say the main : point—in the introduction of this system would beits reduction of expense. That is what w<- are looking for. As canal boats are now constructed the introduc- i Eon of the trolley system would revolu- j tionize the whole line. "T hen* would have to be special boats ; built for the introduction of motors and propelling wheels. That would throw the great army of canal boats that are now being used off' the canal, for no boats that did not run by electricity could navigate in those waters. Can we ; afford to do this? Thin the introduction of a motor into a canal boat would in- j crease its tonnage greatly and, I would say, reduce its carrying capacity almost ; 20 per cent."—Albany Argus. A TI) ct ii sun <1 (iuineaH tho Fee. The largest fee ever paid to a Scotch advocate was that of 1,000 guineas sent to the lord advocate with his brief iii the reedit action with ref- rence to the Murthlv estates. Five hundred guineas was the fee at first sent, but tiffs was not enough to induce his lordship to leave his duties in parliament. Some time ago the lord advocate received a fee of 800 guineas in a court of sessions case—till then the highest fee known in Scotland. It. is curious that both fees should have been supplied by American millionaires, Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Ross Winans, and it is equally curious that both of them lost their actions iu the court.—Ll union T rut h. Cheap literature. Some idea of the quality of what is known as "j enny dreadful" literature in England maybe obtained from the statement that a lady, the wife of a well known physician, had occasion to complain several times that her cook neglect d her duty. Finally this negligence became so gross that the mistress was compelled to haul her over the coals. What was lier amazement to be calmly informed by the young woman that she was so much occupied with the novel she was writing for a weekly paper that she had no time to attend to lier duties iii the kitchen!—Pittsburg Bulletin.

T A TABLE in a small and old fashioned bul cosy chop house, way down town, says the Now Y'ork Times, sat. two veritable Bohemians the other afternoon, and over their pipes exchanged recollections. Their talk after a while touched upon old familiar songs, many of which possess peculiarly interesting local associations. 'Now there s 'The Old Oaken Bucket, said one of th*' Bohemians; "that song had its biri ii up here in Duane street in 1817 Samuel Woodworth, a gifted but erratic printer, was living there at the time. One hot summer's day he went into his house aud drank a grin-.-* of water, remarking, 'that tai-fi-s good, but howl wish that I could drink just at this min Ute from the old oaken bucket on my father's farm.' Woodworth's wife remarked sympathetically, 'What a poem could be written on that thought!' The printer pondered for a ruinate, and sitting down at the nearest I table began to write. Soon the touching verses beginning 'How dear 'o t his heart 1 are the scenes of my childhood' were : written. Soon afterward the words were coupled with a melody composed j by Kiallmark for 'Araby's Daughter. I and were sung far ami wi le." " 'Woodman, Spare That Tree,' is an- : other famous song, based on a local incident." said the second Bohemian "The words were written by George P. Morris, who lived in New York almost all his life and died here in I Slid. When he was a boy his home was on a farm not far from Bloomingdale. He was wont to play there under an old tree planted by his grandfather. "Many years after he had left the farm and tile property had passed out of j the hands of Ins family he happened in ; that neighborhood one day, and saw a ; man about to cut down the old familiar tree. Ile begged th? man to desist, and receive I the gruff response that the tree* would tiring 8in for firewt od He gave ! the man toe money and took a bond for j the safe protection of the tree. Soon I afterward lie wrote the noted song. ' which was set to music by Henry Russell." 'You I lave heard how 'A Life on the Ocean Wave'came to be written. I suppose?" queried the first sp-'.aker, as he moistened his lips. "No? Well, it was this way Epes Sargent was walking along the edge of the Battery' one bright morning when the numerous craft, danc-ing'on the glistening water, brought to his mind a suggestion made to him some time before by ids friend, Henry Russell, that lie write a marine song. He wrote the words of 'A Life on the Ocean Wave, and showed them to George P. Morris who remarked that they ma le a nice little poem, but they would not do for a i song. Soon afterward Russell met Sargent and asked him for the v. lacs. Taking them to a music* store at Broadway and Park Place. Russell went into a little back room, seated hims**lf at a piano and in a few minutes composed the air of the famous song. Sargent never received, a cent for it. although the sales of the song were large. •'Ben Bolt,* you remember, was a noted song along about 1850," continued the first Bohemian. "Tile original words of that song were written in 1812 by Dr. i Thomas Dunn English, of Philadelphia, ; while on a visit to New Y'ork, and sent as a gratuitous contribution ton maga- ! zinc edited by his fr, nd N. P. Willis. Some years at toward the verses were repeated from memory to Nelson Kneass, I a New Y'ork Bone: min. who set them to music, adapting an old German song. The instantaneous sue. *-ss of 'Bi n Bolt' | made it a source of great profit to its publishers, but Kneass died in poverty, complaining that h** only received a trifle for his work. So far as is known the j wrirer of the original verses got nothing.'' i "But few writers of p< pillar songs ever made any money out of them,''oracularly reraarke I the second Bohemian, j "There's the familiar case of John How- ; aril Payne, a New York boy, who wrote I 'Home, Sweet Home' while starving in ! an attic iii Paris. The song was to be sung in ins opera, 'Clan. the Maid of Milan. Payne never got anything for it, and later in his life he wrote to a j friend in this city'*. 'How often have I been in the heart of Paris, Berlin, London or some other city, and have heard j persons singing or hand organs playing 'Home, Sweet Home' without having a shilling to buy myself tile next meal era j place to lay my head.'" 'True, Payne's case was a pathetic1 one," assented Bohemian No. I, "but there have Ih*ch instances where .song j writers made a groat deal of money and I did not know how to k-*<-p it. Take the experience of Sn pl ten Collins Foster, for example, lie produced 'Old Kentucky Home,' 'Old Dog Tray,' 'Old Folks at Home,' 'Old Uncle Ned' and scores of otlier popular songs for which he received large sums of money. It is a matter of record that more than 125.000 copies of 'Old Dog Tray' were sold in eighteen mouths. Foster was a reckless, happy-go-lucky fellow. Some of his most famous songs were written on brown wrapping paper in the back part of a downtown grocery in this city* He was taken sick here and was conveyed to a hospital, where he died penniless Jan. 18, 1804. "Another man who received large sums of m noy for his songs was Henry C. Work. of tiffs city, the author of 'Wake N'icoih urns.' 'Marching Through Georgia' and 'Grandfather's Clock.' The sab s of the last mentioned song were enormous, and Work received $5,000 in royalties on that alone."—New York Times. j tike our gypsies, in hordes compoed of a few families each.

Mexican Prisoner of War. Just before the capture of San Luis Obispo the men under Fremont had been subjected to great exposure and to privation and hardships *>i all kinds, ami their hatred of the Mexicans had reached its height. In fact, it was pretty clearly understood that if any of tic* enemy was unfortunate enough to fall into their hands they would -is nd but little time or sentiment in drip** mg of hun. On lier. 15. two days after the taking of the town, the pickets captured Don Jose de J es u Pico, who was callo-1 Totei. He was tried by court martial fin the charge of breaking Ids parol**, was found guilty arni was sentenc- I to Ik* shot. The fact that Pico was a I a ler rendered him still more an object of hatred and distrust, and on every side were heard murmurs of approval when it was d *i*l-e i that he should pay the penalty of his treachery with his life. The execution was ordered for half past IO o'clock in the morning, ami at IO o'clock the whole bab ;a1 ion was ordered to parade on the plaza, when* th-? ex*-* u-tion was to take place. The prisoner was confined in a room in the Mi "ion. Fremont, with two or three of his officers, was present, awaiting the coming of the prisoner's family to take their last farewell of tile beloved ha-' -end and father. Tile prisoner, with bowed head, was seated on one side, and opposite stood Fremont with folded arms and face unmoved from its usual stem demeanor. The officers in grim silence were grouped about wk -n the wife, with h*-r eight or nine young children, entered dressed in the d * n-"t mourning. The wife avis a beauti' ii v. man of stately bearing, and the children of delicate a..'I refined appearance ten d to break the silence grown oppressive. Thin the children fell upon their knees, and with tearful eyes and outstretched hands mutely b< ggt-d for the life -o dear to them. Among the officers pres at was that stem soldi -r. ('apt. Rickard Owens, who had never feared a living f--e. but whose eyes were then dimmed with tears at the pathetic sight before him. Suddenly. for he could no longer control hiiu-s* lf. he uttered the one word. "Colonel!" Fremont's face relaxed its T *-maine] expression, and he exclaimed, "Yes. Dick, I know we had rather meet a th'-ligand of them in the field tomorrow than take this on • life." Turning to the prisoner he said. "Y'ou are pardoned; you are free." The prisoner f*41 upon his knees at Fremont's feet and pres soil the hem fif his cloak to his lips. exclaiming brokenly in Spanish: "My life v - I ro il. You have given it back, arid henceforth it shall be devoted to you." Instantly Pico ordered that his horse be saddled, and from that day on ti • re was no im-re devoted f<-Bower of Fremont through danger of every kind than the man whose life lie had given back to him.— San Francisco Examiner. - that all rn dffieriiig only I in degree.

This was followed by human faces, which came into the room, and after gazing upon him for a while departed. None of his friends was among the faces he saw.

Acid etching and a cementous overlay?
Once you acid etch your concrete for putting on a thin cementous overlay. How long after do you have before it needs to be done again?
I thought I was going to get to put an thin cementous overlay on top of my concrete driveway and patio earlier this year but it was about 10-11 months ago. I acid etched it at that time, should I or do I need to do it again before we put the overlay down on Monday?
many mtls call for different prep methods,,, acid & neutralizing're the recommended steps for our primary mtl, eliteCrete,,, its done for cleaning AND to adjust the pH,,, your best bet's to contact the mtls' manufacturer/distributor for specific advice.
generally, if the job were ours, we'd do it again.

Charee Balm is somebody who knows an incredible amount of information regarding essential oils. She uses them in her life for many many things. She'll use them in her diffuser so she can smell the oils in her home. This helps to mitigate mold spores and create fresh air that she can breath.
Having fresh air in your home is extremely important if you want to reconnect with nature and restore your health. Daniel Vitalis talks a lot about that here. We recommend the Austin Air purifier to help clean the air.
When you have the air purifier, the essential oils as well as the plants in your home, you can begin to recreate an amazing environment that promotes health and healing to the body.
We talked about Charee's history with her own health struggles like Hashimotos and other conditions she attributes to her days working as a hair stylist at a salon. The amount of chemicals in hair dyes and other substances stylists use is frightening.
Then we talked all about how to use essential oils, what kinds to buy, what essential oils to use for various conditions and so much more.
It's amazing when you think about all the different ways essential oils can be used. They can be used to put on the skin to heal wounds, they can be used in baths, topically, in foods like juices or smoothies, they can be taken in capsule form, they can be used in massage oils, soaps and so much more.
Because all you use is a couple drops each bottle can last 4, 5 or even 6 months with moderate usage.
People have been using essential oils since the beginning of time and I think instead of running to the doctor to pick up your prescription drugs, we should first learn how to incorporate more essential oils into our lives.

In his second season calling the shots for the Chicago Cubs, Theo Epstein's overhaul of the franchise is in its early stages. There are only a handful of players on the current roster that Epstein considers to be a part of the team's long term plan. Many of the players on the 2013 squad are stop gaps who are expected to be replaced by prospects in the near future. The Cubs hope that some of the non-core players will have early season success so their trade value increases, and they can be flipped for top prospects. The burning question is, who will be dealt and who will stay? It seems Alfonso Soriano's name has been mentioned as part of trade rumors throughout almost his entire tenure with the Cubs. Talks seemed to heat up at the trade deadline in 2012, but the Cubs were ultimately unable to find a suitor for Soriano. However, 2013 might be the season the Cubs are finally able to unload Soriano. Since Soriano only has one year beyond 2013 left on his contract, the Cubs are willing to eat a good portion of his salary if they receive a good prospect in return. If Soriano manages to put up numbers similar to the ones he put up in 2012, he would be an extremely attractive option for a contender who is one right handed slugger short of making a playoff run. The deal would also be low risk economically as the team trading for Soriano would only have to pay a small fraction of the money owed to Soriano the next couple of years. There should be a team that is desperate enough come trade deadline time to give the Cubs the type of prospect they are looking for in exchange for Soriano's services. The Cubs will be looking to move Carlos Marmol's expensive contract in 2013 Carlos Marmol is another name that has been repeatedly mentioned in trade rumors, most notably during this past off-season when he was reportedly traded to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for Dan Haren until the Cubs backed out of the deal due to concerns with Haren's health. The Cubs also brought in Kyuji Fujikawa from Japan, who may turn out to be a more reliable option at closer. Marmol will be extremely tough to trade both because of his huge contract and his wildly inconsistent performance. It is possible that if Marmol pitches well in the first half of the season that a team might take a chance on him because of his sky high potential, however he has shown nothing to make anyone believe he will be able to pitch well consistently. The most likely scenario is that Marmol continues to struggle throwing strikes and eventually relinquishes the closer duties to Fujikawa and finds himself as the most expensive setup man in all of baseball. Unless Matt Garza gets healthy quickly and shows the league that he can stay that way, the Cubs will not be able to get the type of prospects in return for him that they would like. Garza is only 29 years old and could be a contributor in a few years when the Cubs are expected to be competitive. Epstein and company will be weighing their options with Garza this year and trying to figure out if they are better off trading him or trying to sign him to an extension. Given Garza's recent string of injuries, it is likely that teams will be hesitant to give up top prospects in order to get him. If this is the case, then the Cubs would be best off trying to sign Garza to a long term deal to start solidifying their rotation going forward. Soriano, Marmol and Garza have been constantly mentioned as potential trade candidates, but there is a Cubs outfielder who may be dealt whose name has seldom been mentioned. David Dejesus is not the flashiest player, and he doesn't put up gaudy numbers but he is the type of player who can be the perfect piece for a contending team. He works extremely deep counts, which most teams love to see, and he is a veteran who can provide leadership to a team that might be lacking it. A team would be wise to try and make a deal for Dejesus, and the Cubs should be more than willing to deal him since it has Brett Jackson waiting to take over as the everyday center fielder. In all likelihood the Cubs will find themselves as sellers once again at the 2013 trade deadline and it appears that aside from Castro, Rizzo and Samardzija no one is safe. The Cubs want to continue to stockpile young talent, and there are several pieces on the 2013 roster who could be dealt for some talented prospects. Depending on how the first half of the season pans out, the Cubs roster could look vastly different in August then it does now.

It slipped my notice that Kraft Foods had photoshopped an Oreo with gay-pride colors for an ad.
Thank God it's not a real cookie; Michael Bloomberg would be so torn! On the one hand, it's disgusting-looking; it looks like it would throw one into diabetic coma while also causing cancer from the numerous dyes. On the other hand, though, it's gay pride. How could he not embrace it?
The trials of Nanny Bloomberg: to pander or to police?
Over at the Evangelical portal, Nancy French is wondering how the churches should react:
Well, the choices aren't really that hard, are they?
After all, no one really likes the people who bring Oreos to the potlucks anyway.
My first thought ran along similar lines. As Catholics don't really do potlucks (we have our Main Meal at Communion and then curse at each other as we fight to be first out of the parking lot) I thought of the Lutherans and Pot Luck Suppers of Lake Woebegone, and other casserole-friendly churches. Kraft foods is not just Oreos; it's Cracker Barrel cheese (there goes the cheese tray); it's Velveeta cheese and Ritz Crackers (goodbye Broccoli-Ritz Cracker Bake); it's Breakstone Cottage Cheese (my fave) and Cadbury Creme Eggs; it's Crystal Light and Stove-Top Stuffing, and Honeymaid Graham Crackers and Jell-o.
That's right — there go your S'mores and those awful Jello Fruit Molds.
So some of you churches-with-potlucks who are contemplating boycotts will find themselves in a Bloomberg dilemma.
To cheese or not to cheese,
that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows
of sodium-swelled ankles
or to take arms against a sea change
of cultural sexual celebration
and by opposing end them.
To sigh; to Ritz-dip no more…
to end the heartache of a thousand
duplicate-tuna-melts that flesh
is heir to;
'tis a consumption devoutly to be wished…
Ah, well, Jesus never served Mac-and-Velveeta with sliced Oscar Mayer weiners, anyway. Who needs it?
There's always a fish-fry — that's biblical — or you can dip pita in hummus (yum).
I suggest you do what the Catholics do, when they absolutely must socialize: make a lasagna and a three-layer Mexican Bean dip with extra jalapenos; order a nice hero and a couple of salads from the deli and crack open some wine and beer. If you're feeling ambitious, bake a few pies or rustle up the original rainbow cookies to munch on while the little girls do the Irish Step Dancing. Then have a raffle.
If you don't eat jalapenos, drink or raffle stuff off, I don't know what to tell you…

Nov. 6, 2009
When football players and coaches arrive in a visiting city before football Saturdays, the hard-working equipment staff is waiting for them. On Thursday (Oct. 29), a semi-truck loaded with football equipment, training supplies and video equipment made the 345-mile trip to Champaign, Ill., for the Wolverines' Halloween showdown with Illinois. Assistant Director for Athletic Media Relations Richard Retyi and Michigan Sports TV Director Patrick McLaughlin accompanied the equipment staff on the journey, chronicling what it's like to be on the road with Michigan football. Director of Equipment Operations Jon Falk and his staff gave MGoBlue.com behind-the-scenes access on what the equipment staff does before each road game and what it's like to travel with the winningest program in college football history.
In part one of this two-part series, the equipment staff made the six-hour and twenty-one minute trip in from Ann Arbor to Champaign. On the way they got ice cream, raced the Michigan State equipment truck on the highway and told more than 30 years worth of stories about Michigan football, half of which are suitable for print. In part two, the equipment staff rises early to prepare the locker room for Friday's walkthrough and get ready for game time. After the contest, they prepare for a long Halloween trip back to Ann Arbor, where the work begins as soon as the truck arrives at Schembechler Hall.
The Plan is to Meet in the Lobby at 8:30 a.m. ...
The plan is to meet in the lobby at 8:30 a.m. on Friday morning and drive 200 yards to the Urbana Family Garden Restaurant for strong coffee and a hearty breakfast. Thanks to a heavy snooze hand, I wake up 15 minutes late and get to the restaurant by 9:15 a.m. as everyone is leaving. Falk spots me while climbing into the truck and squints his eyes.
"You're on double public probation, Ryan," he says. Falk will call me Ryan, Ron, Rob and (correctly) Rich over the course of our trip, but he never forgets my tardiness, mentioning it at least five times over the next three hours.
Jim expertly backs the truck and trailer into the loading dock at Memorial Stadium, handling the massive beast like a Smart Car. The first equipment bags roll off the truck at 9:41 a.m. and the countdown to the team's arrival begins. Row after row of old wooden stalls line the visitor's locker room at Memorial Stadium. Each stall has four hooks, a one-foot wide bench to sit on and an inexplicable three-foot section of metal grating behind it. Falk peels labels printed with the player's name and number off big sheets and sticks them on each locker. The quarterback stalls are side-by-side, O-linemen are clustered together, and defensive players line the side and back stalls of the locker room. Elliott Mealer's locker is closest to the showers, Craig Roh is closest to a smaller locker room that the coaches will use, and Tate Forcier is closest to the door to Memorial Stadium.
Remnants of visitors past remain. A time sheet is still tacked to a corkboard from Michigan State's game earlier in the month. A dry erase board in the corner is still covered with scribbles from Ohio State's visit. It reads:
1 - Do your JOB!
2 - Keep after the QB
3 - Tackle! (underlined three times)
Falk quips, "Those are our keys too!"
The Radio is the Second Oldest Thing in the Locker Room
Falk puts an ancient-looking, one-speaker radio on top of a stall and tunes in a light rock station, playing hits from Simply Red, the Bee Gees and Miley Cyrus. Falk purchased the radio in 1974 and it has played music for him and his men ever since. The radio is one year older than 36-year-old assistant equipment manager Rick Brandt, and other than a slightly wonky antenna, it has held up well over the years.
Seventy bags are dropped in their respective stalls and each bag is unpacked. Shoulder pads go on top of each locker, knee and thigh pads in the top left cubby, gloves and braces in the top right, helmets are hung on a peg, and the empty bags are placed in the back of each stall. One of the managers handles the training staff's gear, stacking ice chests, coolers and cases of Gatorade and water in a large training room off to the side. With everything unpacked, the managers address the helmets. They add paint thinner to pre-measured vials of Michigan blue paint, stirring the mixture in a small container and dabbing brushes in the mixture. They work from stall to stall, painting over scratches and scuffs on the blue sections of the helmets, rubbed off during the previous game and through a full week of practice. Each helmet comes out of the factory Green Bay Gold. A base coat of maize is applied and finally blue is added to create the winged helmet. The mangers spend extra time on the helmets of the offensive and defensive linemen, some of which sport deep ruts from battling giants in the trenches. On game day the helmets will be polished to a shine.
While the managers handle the helmets, Brandt takes an opaque bottle with "Reek Out" stenciled on the side and sprays select helmets. An odor-controlling substance designed by former NHLer Pat Verbeek, it tackles the strongest odors, but the managers joke that it's no match for Brandt's hockey equipment.
"I air my stuff out," Brandt says as the managers laugh and finish painting.
The air conditioners grind at maximum power in the locker room, and with rain and cold outside, everyone is bundled up.
"You can hang meat in here," barks Falk.
Everyone looks forward to lunch.
The cab is unhooked from the trailer, and we drive out of Memorial Stadium to eat greasy food at a chain restaurant nearby where the staff dress as devils, referees, and law enforcement officials. Jim orders fried pickles, which are actually really good.
Hurry Up and Wait
The next three hours are waiting. Most equipment managers bring homework or a book to kill the downtime waiting for players and coaches to arrive for walkthrough. Once the players arrive, they find their lockers and walk out onto the field. Back inside the locker room, the jerseys are locked tight in a nondescript case and pushed into a lonely corner until game day. After 20 minutes in the stadium, everyone reboards the buses and the equipment staff heads back to the hotel. On some trips, armed guards are posted at the entrance to Michigan's locker room to deter unwanted visitors in the night. With multiple gates and tight security at Memorial Stadium, it would take a motivated menace to mess with the Wolverine gear on Devil's Night.
Game day arrives and the equipment crew wakes early on Saturday morning, breakfasting at the Urbana Garden Family Restaurant again. They are back at the stadium by 9:30 a.m. setting up phones and the communications system for the coaches' headsets, while a team goes through final preparations in the locker room. A student manager polishes each helmet to a glossy shine with Future Floor Wax, the secret ingredient that makes the winged helmets pop on TV. He rubs each helmet with a sock soaked in the wax, brilliantly bringing out the colors. Meanwhile, footballs are inflated, jerseys and pants are hung in stalls, and a game day program is placed in each locker.
Massive Pizza Delivery Boxes Distributing Hot and Fresh Footballs
Falk hangs a big white plastic clock next to a dry erase board listing the warmup times for each position group. Eight-by-ten sheets of paper with the same warmup times are taped to the end of each stall, impossible to miss. The buses pull up to Memorial Stadium at 12:22 p.m., and players and coaches discharge into the stadium. In the locker room, equipment managers are stationed in front of a giant trunk full of socks, sweatbands, "head structures" (beanies) and other gear. The players dress in everything but their shoulder pads and sit in their stalls, quietly flipping through the game program. Just outside the locker room entrance, Falk orchestrates more delicate work. Here, a team of managers rub long strips of Astroturf on footballs that will be used in the game, balls that were specially selected by the quarterbacks earlier in the week. The rough-hewn balls are stuffed into insulated duffel bags and stacked on the ground. As game time nears, the duffel bags will be lined with thermal heat pads, acting like massive pizza delivery boxes, distributing hot and fresh footballs all game long.
The student equipment managers double as ball boys during games, split on the home and visitor sides of the field. A ball is replaced every three plays or so or when it travels outside the numbers. Today's game is cool, but Friday's rain has passed and the elements don't play a factor. The same can't be said of the frigid temperatures when Michigan visited Iowa, the rain vs. Penn State or the flash monsoon at Michigan State. The Illinois contest is a quiet game for the equipment managers who do their part for the team. Each area of the program devotes itself to helping the team succeed on the field, and on this trip the equipment staff has done their job. There are no equipment malfunctions nor technical difficulties, and the staff attends to each of the coaches' and players' needs. That's all they can be expected to do, and Falk is proud of his men.
The Trip Back to Ann Arbor
After the game, the players return to the locker room, peel off their pads, pull tape off their wrists and ankles, and the packing begins anew. Game-worn shirts and pants are collected and put on the team plane so that laundry can begin as soon as the staff returns to Schembechler Hall. The rest of the equipment is packed and loaded onto the semi, which Jim pilots 450 miles back to Ann Arbor. Two student managers ride with him in the truck to help with the final stages of packing and go to work once the semi pulls back into Ann Arbor early Sunday morning.
On the team plane, Falk sits in the last row next to radio analyst Jim Brandstatter, and they chat while the plane cruises back to Michigan. The flight takes barely an hour, and by 10 p.m. the washing machines are running full steam at Schemechler Hall, scrubbing the residue of a Halloween loss off the beautiful maize and blue.

The online sale of a cat that has been stuffed and turned into a rug has upset animal advocates who say the auction is disturbing and in bad taste.
The ginger tabby is being sold online as a "great little gift for the mancave". Bids close tonight.
Tauranga taxidermist Andrew Lancaster found the large male cat on the side of the Napier and Taupo highway, on the way back from a concert last month.
"I thought 'that's a pretty nice looking cat', did a U-turn and picked it up," he said.
Mr Lancaster thought the cat must have been "run straight over" as there was no broken skin, but bruising inside, he said. Since the cat was listed, interest in it "has gone ballistic".
"There's been about 2500 views. I usually get 100 views a week on some of my other items," he said.
Mr Lancaster's typical stuffed possums usually sold for about $70.
By last night, bidding was sitting at $251 for the cat. The auction will close at 8pm tonight.
Mr Lancaster also had some more "unique" creations in his collection at his Kaimai's home - such as a possum-headed chicken with vampire teeth or a small bird with the head of a child's doll.
The UK-expat said he did not know who bought his work or why but he enjoyed creating them, despite online backlash which included being called "you sicko" or being told "hope this happens to you".
"I just respond with a smiley face."
Mr Lancaster upset animal lovers when a picture of a doll's face on the body of a possum last year went viral. He said he expected the same this time but was pleasantly surprised at feedback, including comment from an ethical vegetarian referring to the cat as "amazing art".
Despite the creation, Mr Lancaster said he usually stayed away from working on pets like cats and dogs. "It puts a lot of people's backs up. If someone has known their pet all their life, it's very hard to get it right when you work on them."
Eliot Pryor, from animal advocacy organisation SAFE, said the sale of the cat was "extremely bad taste".
"But there is also something distasteful about the attitude shown to an animal once it has died, as the description is light hearted and not respectful."
Trade Me comments
blackbettie: "Poor kitty-cat. However, I think it's very cool that you have made his life worth something by creating a piece of amazing art . . . I'm an animal lover and also collect vintage Victorian taxidermy. I'm also a vegetarian for ethical reasons. I'm not offended at all by this art installation and would encourage those that are offended by this to question themselves why .... this was created from a long dead animal. Upcycling!"
vixter: "Maybe send it to Gareth Morgan!"
akdm: Gross :(
tremcat: "That's the best cat ever, don't have to feed it. and it dosn't eat native birds "

Sports Car Mice
You feel like you're ready for a mid-life crisis, but the whole thing feels so daunting. You're supposed to get a sports car and a hot young boyfriend/girlfriend? That sounds like a lot of work. Why not just get an optical mouse shaped like a sports car and call it a crisis?
