Potato and Cheese Pierogi
Pierogi are traditional Polish noodle dumplings, filled with a variety of classic sweet and savory mixtures. For this recipe, we've chosen to make a basic potato-cheese filling and serve them as a side dish topped with sour cream, garlic and chive sauce. Our family recipe, combined with a fairly standard dough preparation method, produces an exceptionally light and tender finished product. The secret? Pinching off portions of dough and rolling them individually to avoid overworking it.
Potato and Cheese Pierogi
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen
- For the dough:
- 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 3/4 to 1 cup water
- For the filling:
- 1-1/2 lbs baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small sweet onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3/4 to 1 cup grated dry farmer's cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- For the finished dish:
- 1/2 stick butter, cut into 1 tablespoon portions
- 1 recipe Sour Cream Garlic-Chive Sauce
For the dough:
In a large bowl or mixer, combine the flour, eggs, sour cream and 1/2 cup of water. Beat the eggs as you mix and gradually add the rest of the water until the mixture is combined.
Turn the dough onto a well floured surface. Knead it gently, using a dropping technique (lift the dough from the surface and drop it down). Knead only until the ingredients are blended and the dough is smooth and slightly sticky, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to over work the dough.
Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 20 to 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
For the filling:
Put the potatoes in a medium pot and add just enough cold, salted water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes cook, melt the butter and oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion, garlic and thyme, cooking until the onion turns translucent, about 2 minutes. Lower the heat and continue cooking until onions caramelize slightly, about 20 minutes. You may need to add a bit more butter as the onion and garlic mixture cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside to cool.
When the potatoes are soft, drain them in a colander and lightly press out the remaining moisture. Return them to the pot, remove from heat and add the cooled onion mixture and the cheese. Mash them just until blended and large lumps are gone. Season again with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside to cool while you roll out the pierogi dough.
Assemble and cook:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. With lightly floured hands, pinch off tablespoon sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. The balls should be about 1-1/2 inches in diameter, yielding about 3 dozen total.
On a well floured surface, gently roll each ball with a rolling pin until about 1/8 inch thick and 3-1/2 inches round. Cover the finished rounds with a damp towel so they don't dry out while you're working.
Once your rounds are rolled out, hold each in the palm of your hand, filling the center of it with a generous tablespoon of the potato mixture. Gently fold the round in half, pulling the edges away and pinching them firmly shut to enclose the filling. Be sure the edges are sealed by working from one end to the other.
As you work, set your filled pierogi aside on a floured surface and cover them with plastic wrap.
Working in batches, drop no more than 6 pierogi at a time into the boiling water. After they float back to the surface, allow them to cook another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the pierogi with a slotted spoon and place on a towel to drain and cool.
Sauté and serve:
To finish the dish, heat a tablespoon or two of butter in a pan over medium heat and briefly sauté them in batches until they are slightly crispy and brown on the exterior. Transfer to a serving dish and top with Sour Cream Garlic-Chive Sauce.
Recipe Notes:
We first saw the instructions for rolling the dough for the pierogi individually in the May 2000 issue of "Fine Cooking Magazine." Prior to that we followed our family recipe to the letter and rolled the dough into large rectangles, cut circles with a biscuit cutter and re-rolled the scraps. Rolling each pierogi individually produces a much more delicate, tender dumpling (sorry Grandma).

Oh my word this is tempting!!!! It looks deep-fried and fattening and yet it is none of that...just delicious little bites!!!
WOW - these look great and your photo is perfect!
Thanks for sharing that beautiful recipe! I love to know more about traditional recipes from all around the world and this one is a great example!
These might be the most beautiful pierogies I've ever seen! I made homemade once and I would say they were just okay, but this recipe and your pictures just encouraged me to do it again! Lovely!
One of my favorite foods and one I have not made in ages...maybe I will take the time and spoil my family this weekend.
Many thanks!
These pierogies really look perfect!
I can't tell you how much my family and friends loved these! No one in my family had ever hand made them and when I did them they were extremely easy to make, and so delicious. They were huge too, so just a couple made a real meal. The sauce was what made them though, adding a real special taste to them. We are definitely going to make these again!
Can these be frozen at any step and then reheated later? I would love to make them when I have time over a weekend, and then during a busy week, come home and saute them to perfection.
yes can be frozen just like the ones u see in the frozen food dept
Sure! Once you've boiled them, let them drain and cool well. Then, you can pack them up for freezing. I'd recommend laying them out in a single layer, or separate layers with wax paper to prevent sticking.
I love pierogies, and I love to make them. Don't put the water on to boil until you are done making them. My mother did that roll the dough into balls etc. I use a crank Atlas pasta machine on #4. It's WAY less work.
This is absolutely a great recipe. I've tried several pierogi recipes already, but this one is by far the best! I also started making the filling just as a quick snack when I don't feel like eating lunch.
Just incredible looking pierogis! If they taste half as good as they look I'd be in heaven!
When we lived in Pennsylvania, I ate more than my share of these. So good...especially topped with onions!
Oh, these look just like I remember from living in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania; I'm living in Texas now and people here have never heard of a pierogi! I'll enjoy the taste of home! Thanks
Beautifully and apparently tasty. Thank you.
Can't wait to try these!!!

Awesome information and recipes here - really good ... :) cheers :)
Hi there! I made this recipe yesterday....It was super delicious! A bit time consuming but worth it! I made just enough for the weeks lunch ;-)
I'm making these tomorrow!
Kiełbasa and pierogi do not go together in Poland. We just eat pierogi alone :)
I love these! Pinned them to try later. Found you on LinkedIn (FBC).
can't wait to try this recipe! Pinned it!
I just finished making these and the dough was really hard to work with. Very very sticky, I don't know what I did wrong for it to be like that I started with 1/2 cup of water.
Hi Sabrina,
We're located in Florida and because of the high humidity, we frequently find dough of all types to be a bit stickier than expected. There are a couple of other factors that may have caused this dough to be sticky too - the eggs may have been a little bit on the large side, and the sour cream could have separated. (I usually pour off any excess liquid). Next time, just add a little extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, to make the dough easier to work with.
Oh my...I have got to try these. Pierogis were one of my favorite foods growing up but I haven't had them in forever. Can't wait to try these. Thank you!
These look really good and I can't wait to make them, but what is "dry farmer's cheese"? Would a white cheddar cheese or another cheese work? Thanks!
Hi Kayla,
If you can't find something labeled as "dry farmer's cheese," you can make your own using cottage cheese. Wrap 1-1/2 to 2 cups of large curd cottage cheese in a piece of cheesecloth and put it in a colander set over a bowl to catch the liquid. Refrigerate until the cheese looks firm and dry - overnight should do it. Hope this helps!
I would like to tell you that this recipe is absolutely delicious! I tried it over the weekend and it turned out perfectly. You really did a great job of presenting everything that needed to be done - and the pictures you post make it impossible to not try this yourself!!
how do these keep in the freezer? any tips for using them after freezing?
Hi Andy -
You can freeze the pierogi in zip-top freezer bags for up to 3 months. To prepare, just drop them into boiling water straight from the freezer, 6 at a time. Follow the recipe directions by allowing them to float to the top, then continue cooking for 2 to 4 minutes. They should only take about 1 minute longer to cook. Proceed with the recipe as written for draining and sautéeing in butter.
My grandmother's recipe was very similar to this except she put some mashed potatoes in the dough as well as the filling. I've tried searching for similar recipes but I haven't found any yet that do this. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions on how much mashed potatoes would be added to the dough and why she might have done this?
Hi Allison -
We've heard of people adding mashed potatoes to their pierogi dough, but we don't have any information on what quantity you would use either. My suggestion would be to check the library for older Polish cookbooks. Come back and let us know if you find something.
Yes, my grandmother or biacia (polish for grandmother) always puts a tiny bit, about a large spoonful or so of the potato mixture in the dough. She also does not boil them after making.. she freezes them right after making them so they will last for up to a year in the freezer. Then when ready to eat some, she boils them & sautes onions & butter for the top. We always eat them alone with sour cream & have keilbasa with other things.
Yummy! I posted a link to this on my blog...thru my pinterest board.

Check out authentic Ukrainian Pyrohi recipe... handed down from Grandmother to Mother to me.. making them for over 44 years.. step by step with photos..
These look so good and I am going to add them to my Mouth Watering Monday post this Monday. Come on over to see it at www.noshingwiththenolands.com Cheers, Tara
This looks awesome! I'm planning to make it this week - perhaps over the weekend if I can get myself to the store to get everything I need.
I keep saying I want to make pierogi and your recipe looks perfect - detailed but not too difficult... now its officially on my "to-do list"
My Mom was full Polish and always made Pierogi for Christmas eve she stuck to the no eating meat on Christmad eve. I haven't been able to find a recipe even close to the one she used Her filling had mashed potatoes,Cottage cheese (because she couldn't get the right cheese here)sour cream and mint flakes. they were boiled and then served covered in butter if anyone has a recipe similar I would live it thanks
My grandfather used to make these for me, and he made the best ones with potatoes and cheese! Just like these! Love it! ~ nerdwithtaste.wordpress.com
I made these for dinner tonight and they were amazing! Even my picky eater really liked them!
Thank you! My husband and I are Canadian and we both grew up eating perogies. Except that we only ever had them from the freezer section of the grocery store (Cheemo, etc) and now that we're living in the USA, there just doesn't seem to be anyone here who knows what perogies are or where to get them. The ones I've found at specialty stores just don't taste right. I'm going to try making these today. Hopefully they turn out well!
i can make these!!!!
I have been making pierogi's for a few years now, thanks to a great older friend that showed me how (I am Italian and she was polish). I make the dough with Sour Cream, but the filling she never used Farmer's Cheese. I heard Farmer's Cheese is much better and plan on using this recipe, but my question is can I mix some Sharp and/or Cheddar Cheese in with the Farmers??? Like a Three Cheese Pierogi?? I love cheese, but I also want to taste the potatoes. Have you ever used other cheeses with the Farmers or is the Farmer Cheese all you need??
Hi Gloria,
We've never filled the pierogi with cheddar, but I see no reason why combining it with the farmer's cheese wouldn't be delicious. Cheddar will add a little tang to the flavor and I say go for it - just be sure it's finely grated.
I'm wondering if these would work with a gluten-free flour? They look so delicious!
I'm using pierogi for my GCSE food technology coursework and I need to know the nutritional information, shelf life, packaging, cost, storage etc. of it. Is there any chance you know any of these? (Don't worry if not):-)
WOW.. This looks so delicious, I am not a good cook but just love eating and cheese is my favorite. Surely gonna give this a try.
I have to make these!! My friend has such a good blog post about cheese!
I just made them, sooooo good. Better than store bought.
I had never heard of a pierogi until I went to Michigan for my brother's wedding. We had dinner with my new sister in law's family and they served potato/cheese and sauerkraut. They were both pretty good but I think the potato/cheese was a little bland and the sauerkraut over powering. So when I returned home, I decided to make some but I combined the potato/cheese and sauerkraut and they are now a family favorite.
I'm going to try using the Farmers Cheese next time I make them though. I have always used cream cheese.
Thanks for sharing.
My mom used to make these when we were kids. She'd have trays of all different kinds all over the kitchen. My favorite is potato-cheese-sauerkraut, but love them all. I've been spoiled since they started selling them in the frozen section of my grocery. I'm taking this recipe because one day I'm going to attempt making these by hand. They look great the way you've browned them. My mother used to just boil them and pour the butter and onions on top.
I make pierogi a lot. If you have a polish community near you there may be a polish store that sells farmers cheese. Sometimes I stop at the deli counter in Meijer and buy their farmers cheese and some brick cheese. My polish husband loves them. So check your local store deli counter for farmers cheese. It's a different texture but the flavor is good. Amish stores often carry it also. (For non polish cheese,I use a food processor to break it down). I live in MI.
I've made these twice and loved them. I'm back so I can make them again, they're delicious :) Thank you for sharing!
Amazing recipe! It's so delicious!
Because of so many ethnic in Canada, our perogies made differently - some use "Imperial Cheese" which is a strong one. Nobody I know, uses powdered stuff, only extra old or Imperials - try it. Also, we sauté finely chopped onion golden (in butter) which is added to the filling.
These look delicious! I am not Polish myself but grew up in a Polish town where these were served regularly for parties, school lunches, etc. They were usually served with sour cream and either sauerkraut or sautéed onions.
That looks very authentic, and I like the simplicity of the ingredients. Wonerful recipe!
Yes, that's how my Mama made them, very labor intensive, so do not put the water on until they are assembled .
WHEREAS, I have a crank-type pasta machine. I work the dough through it like pasta, then roll out sheets at #4. Cut out the dough with a tuna can. Makes perfect pierogin much quicker. Go to #5 for a lighter pieroogie, wonton or kreplach.

Hudak Calls Liberal Budget a Work of Fiction
Tim Hudak commenting on the provincial budget. Photo by Nick Kozak/Torontoist.
While the federal campaign is officially underway across the country, in one large, windowless room in the MacDonald Block just off Queen's Park, the upcoming provincial election got a sort of unofficial kick-start of its own. Tim Hudak took to the podium in front of a room full of reporters to respond to Minister of Finance Dwight Duncan's presentation of Ontario's budget, and spent much of his airtime calling the integrity of the Liberals' math and their proposals into question. "If this budget was sold at your local Chapters, you'd have to find it in the fiction section," he began, and his skepticism only grew from there.
Duncan and Hudak were both clearly in election mode, speaking in broad strokes and broader platitudes that were soundbite-ready. Unlike some other members of his caucus, Hudak did not pick up on Rob Ford's language—not one "respect for taxpayers" slipped out during his half hour at the mic. But the message was the same: "root out the waste" was his version of the gravy refrain, and it was the subject he returned to most often when asked how a Conservative government would balance the books.
To curb spending, Hudak said the Tories would start by scrapping the Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and the Ontario Power Authority, which he pegged at "about five hundred million dollars in waste to date" (that figure accumulated over several years). His next move would be to conduct a sunset review of all agencies, boards, and commissions to find and eliminate "the fat." Hudak seemed confident this would bring in substantial savings, though he did not attach any kind of estimate in his remarks. After that? Opening up the Arbitration Act, and reviewing the province's public service, to "make sure that public pay and benefits reflect Ontario families' ability to pay."
The deficit currently sits at $16.7 billion. Given that the Tories have ruled out tax increases, as well as Hudak's expressed interest in some form of tax cut (by abolishing the HST on certain basic items, or reducing the overall rate of the HST, or through income tax reductions), the implicit message was that these public sector reviews and reductions were going to need to do a lot of the heavy lifting in a Conservative plan to balance the budget. "An Ontario PC government will put families first," Hudak said, and what families need is a break on their tax bills. Hudak consistently demurred when he was asked to specify what service cuts he'd be willing to consider but made it clear that he thought spending was very far out of control.
Though Duncan's budget trumpets the economic recovery and rebounding employment—it highlights that, according to Statistics Canada, 91% of the total jobs lost during the recession have been recovered, and 84% of full-time jobs lost over that period have been recovered—Hudak was dismissive. "I don't think anyone believes these job numbers that Dalton McGuinty is selling," he responded. He predicted a major tax hike if the Liberals were returned to office in the fall, and summarized their past eight years in office by saying: "There are only two things guaranteed from the McGuinty Government. One: they will increase spending. And two: they will raise your taxes to pay for it."
"I don't think it's worth the paper it's printed on," Hudak concluded. His challenge will be whether he can convince voters of that come October.
The full text of Ontario's 2011 budget is available from the Ministry of Finance's website.

Solarpower-Pyrolyse – Fishing the Planet Clean of Waste
by Dane Axtmann
Ever wanted to help to clean our environment and deploy a major dealbreaker for polluting oil companies at the same time? This is how!
About this project
The greatest danger to a species is not a predator or the absence of nutrition. Wildlife and flora have survived ice ages, floods, vulcanic eruptions and massive meteoroid impacts. The biggest threat to a species is to be rendered evolutionary useless or even infertile. So the weak spot of every organism would be its cells and the contained DNA.
Unfortunately, by burying, burning and dumping our waste we are filling our foodchain and groundwater with exactly such agents.
Dioxin is by far not the only toxic byproduct of our waste management, but it is one of the worst. If by some miracle it would completely disappear from our environment, it would still take about 6 generations to reduce it to a nonrelevant level in our organisms. That is because it doesn`t leave our systems anymore once it has entered. So what happens if the Dioxin level of a society reaches a certain height? You can get an idea if you have a look on the places where the Dioxin "Agent Orange" has been used during the Vietnam war. The US sprayed it over the Vietnamese Forests in order to deleaf the trees and to spot and swat Vietkong soldiers. Now, there is the biggest amount and variety of birth defects and malformations you can probably find in one spot. But these sorts of mutations will happen to us too! It's just a matter of time.
Considering that these Dioxins are indeed just a very little example of the full extent of our environmental poison selection, it might already happen in lots of places.
I realized: It is time to act! Fast!
So here's my idea: In order to finance a major clean up program on the lands, in the landfills and in the oceans as well, I need a machine that turns garbage efficiently into a valuable product. If there was such a fantastic machine then the product itself would finance effectively a clean-up-program. This machine exists! It's called a pyrolyse reactor and it's pretty simple. By heating organic compounds in the absence of oxygen or halogen, they will transform back into methane gas. With a catalyst one can make the methane molecules bind another again, in order to form longer molecule chains. In the end, when cooled down and condensed, we will find gasoline, diesel as well as waste oil which can reenter the reactor to break down again. This method works with all organic compounds such as plastic, rubber, paperwaste, plantfiber, manure etc.
The only drawback is that until now, it is solely practised by adding heat from fire into the reactor. So you end up burning resources in order to reclaim burning resources (but to be able to sell them for a higher price). And since it is physically impossible to reclaim the same amount of energy from the recycled fuel than you have to use in the recycling process, it is simply stacking upon our pollution problem.
I want to build a solar powered pyrolyse facility! This way the energy needed for the process is basically absolutely free and ecological. As well as my resources are free to take, since there is way enough waste pollution out there.
In other words:
It's going to be a company that is producing green fuel out of stuff we want to be gone anyway. A major business plan indeed! But that's far of being the end of my story here: The biggest and most dangerous polluters of our world are still the oil companies. Hopefully I don't need to elaborate this. So a logical consequence of my business plan is indeed harming the oil drilling companies. I'm going to do this on purpose as hard as I can so this project is called: "Little Evil Plan to Save The World"
Every cent and dime of win in this matter will be further invested in remodeling this planet to become a healthier, wealthier and a better place. And if you can give me a good help for this startup here, I`m going to expand to phase two maybe very quickly.
Phase two includes claiming other market areas since garbage and waste is not the only problematic sector of our planet. There's also the problem of erosion! Forests are disappearing leaving nothing but dry ground and deserts.
There are permacultural concepts effectively taking this problem on. Sometimes it's almost enough to dig out a hole in the ground and wait for the rain. What will happen is that vegetation returns quickly on its own. Adding a drain will even refill the groundwater over time and gives back stability to the ground. Also for this concept I do have an idea to combine it with a terrific way of producing valuable green energy.
You see, everything this company will be doing is supposed to fulfill two purposes. Healing the wounds that have been inflicted upon our planet and our souls; And making use of this process to harm those that have inflicted these wounds on us.
There is also another huge problem I really want to take care of:
In way too many places of the world clean drinking water has become an incredible luxury. Because of companies that came and bought the springs away from the hands of the communities. People oftenly have to buy the water which was naturally aready theirs,now in health damaging plastic bottles (these bottles are steaming out DNA damaging Phtalates).
Often the ground water isn't drinkable anymore due to fracking or landfill pollution. The rivers are often swamped with chemical waste from industries settling there. You get the idea! Where to find clean water?
This would be the golden goal of my business plan:
There is basically water everwhere where there is humidity in the air. All you need is a surface where this humidity can condense on. There are hundreds of possible and well working structures that can be utilized for this purpose. And often they are very cheap too. So the main goal of these companies efforts will be to finance these structures in every place of the world where they are needed. Enough of these to supply everyone with his daily required amount of fresh drinking water (at least 15 – 20 liters).
I want to run this business in an uncommercial, democratic way! I do believe that this will make it a lot better. I´m going to share this company equally with every withemployee. There will be the same wage for everyone whatever his job migh be in this company! Also every decision made conerning the companie´s course will be decided democratically.
I think this is the best way to keep the motives clean and clear: Money will be generated in order to reverse the done damage and not to pointlessly grow.
What do I need to start?
– A construction permit on an exceptable location or a sufficient structure that is already on such a location
– An engineer modifying a pyrolyse reactor for me.
– A complete pyrolyse mashine (you can see in the graphic what else I need, besides the reactor tank).
– A large set of parabolic sunlight collectors.
– Transport vehicles for waste and product. In best case even a trawler ship.
– A materials recovery system (since I cant feed the reactor with everything)
– Manpower!
If you do believe in my idea, then I`d be happiest man on earth, if you helped a great ambition on its feed.
Risks and challenges
Since the engineering of my reactor is just a simple modification of existing and well functioning models there is practically no chance that there are technical dificulties to appear.
So the major risks of my idea are circumfenced like this:
-The local legal systems could eat me up with letting me wait for too long to get an expensive construction permit. To avoid this I will try to get into negotations for permits on as many plausible locations as possible.
-I could face permit problems when I attempt to clear out landfills. This is because they are sometimes privat property of disposing companies.
The only sollution I can come up with here would be to make these cases very public. If the bad PR isn`t already enough to make them give in into my demands, then I would sue them until the last instance (so the trouble will be saved for the next landfill holders).
– I`d be able to solve both legal questions swiftly. But I might face assasination attempts on me for succesfully pissing off the Oilkartell.

Alex Turner has nothing to look forward to. And it's about time.
After years of near-constant activity with the Arctic Monkeys (and projects like The Last Shadow Puppets), the 25-year-old singer-guitarist happily admits he has no idea what's coming next.
"I've kind of put a record out every year in some way, shape or form," he explains. "But for the first time, there's nothing in the works. I've got no plans. We're just enjoying being on tour. And that's what we're focusing on now -- to be honest, that's all we're focusing on.
We're not even thinking about the next album. Every other time, as soon as we've put an album out, we've gone 'Right! What's next?' This time, we're not getting ahead of ourselves. Of course, that could change. Maybe at some point we'll be like, 'F---, we need to go make a record.' But right now, it's been really fun just playing. We've got it pretty good, really. I've got no complaints."
Nor should he. These days, life doesn't suck for the scrappy Sheffield indie-rockers. They're enjoying positive reviews for their cheekily titled fourth album Suck it and See. They've spent the summer playing major festivals across Europe and North America. And this week, they're expanding their horizons with their first swing through Western Canada. But not before Turner -- relaxing in a luxurious Italian hotel before yet another festival -- filled me in heading west, being an only child and his bromance with Queens of the Stone Age rocker Josh Homme.
After six years, you must be feeling burned out.
Not really. People often say that to us. But it's weird; we have been hard at it, playing every summer and in the studio as well. But it's just kinda felt natural. I don't really know any other way. And besides, I don't have anything else to do. Put it that way.
Which do you prefer these days: Playing live or being in the studio?
As time goes on and we've been in the studio a lot more, we're perhaps more comfortable in that environment than we were in the beginning. We sorta know what we're doing a little bit more. So yeah, I really love being in the studio now these days. But I think we're still very much a live band and a touring band.
This will be your first time crossing Western Canada. What do you imagine it will be like?
I never thought of that, but you're right. We've only ever really done your Torontos and your Montreals. And going anywhere new for the first time is still cool for us. But I don't really know what to expect. You tell me. I guess I imagine it's pretty cold. Will it be cold?
I think you'll be OK. What should we expect from you?
I dunno, really. Just a pretty good rock 'n' roll show. That's about it, really.
After playing all these festivals, is it a big adjustment to play smaller indoor venues? Do you have a preference?
I like that we get to do both. And even when we're doing the things in the fields, with all the lights and s---, we still play in theatres or even really small clubs as warmups. We'll sneak into some small place before the festival. It's good to do that -- it keeps you on your toes. In a small place, the crowd is like two feet away. That's how it used to be for us, obviously, when we cut our teeth. And some of the most exciting shows we've ever had have been in small rooms.
You're an only child. How important is it to get your way?
Yeah, I suppose I'm pretty controlling. I like to have me way. But I've known these three lads a long time. We've all kind of grown up together. If I did have brothers, I don't think I'd be as close to them as I am to these boys. And they might tell you different, but I feel this has always been a sort of group effort. I'm definitely not the kind who needs to be the centre of attention.
That's kind of ironic, given your career choice.
Yeah, f---ing tell me about it.
If you could make an album with anyone, who would it be?
You know, I'd love to do something with Josh Homme again. He obviously produced most of our last album (Humbug in 2009). I'd love to get back in the studio with him at some point. The whole experience with him was really inspiring -- and fun as well, which is important. When you spend as much time in dark rooms as we do, it helps if it's with somebody who makes you laugh and is a good bloke. So that definitely didn't suck.

ESSENTIAL. The Residents' video work is typically amazing (particularly their earlier, live-action stuff), especially since they were all amateurs at it and taught themselves. And hey, this has a bunch of stuff that's on display at MoMA. And, since the Residents don't like to just release old stuff, they re-recorded an alternate 5.1 soundtrack of different versions of all the songs (of course, the originals are also available), and loaded it down with Easter Eggs. A CD was released of some of the new versions of the songs, as well—that's cool, but less essential. The DVD, however, is a MUST HAVE. This is an updating of sorts of 20 Twisted Questions, but this is worth getting even if you already have that release—even if you don't like the new audio versions, the picture's remastered and much, much clearer. (I couldn't tell that was a nail in the "Hello Skinny" video on the LD version.) - Rev. Syung Myung Me

I thought Blake did great. And huge kudos to him for having the kahones to pick a song for his song choice that he hasn't done! How often does that happen?
I thought Blake did great. And huge kudos to him for having the kahones to pick a song for his song choice that he hasn't done! How often does that happen?
^ Exactly. It was both brave and smart, and I'm glad it turned out so well for him. I think he deserves to be in the finale after that! I know I'm pulling for him... but I fear Jordin and Melinda have such large fan-bases that anything is possible. It could easily be the two ladies in the finale, but I'm hoping for Blake vs. Melinda.
I'd read it as knowing that his only chance of advancing was to excite his fans to a voting frenzy -- people who don't like his singing don't like anything he tries -- which comes to about the same thing as what you said.makes me wonder if he is appealing to his fans rather then the audience so they buy his CD's since he knows he cannot win!
If I had to psycho-analyze the three competitors, Jordin seemed to be playing not-to-lose (way too cautious on her first two songs, plus a repeat song for safety); Melinda was her usual ultra-competent self (for which she deserves to advance, but also, we all expect it of her); and Blake was the one who was truly in the moment, giving it his all.
I have been listening to his performances on youtube. "Roxanne" was good, better than I was afraid it might be, but didn't knock me out. I can't quit listening to "This Love" and "When I Get You Alone." I had never heard the last song, so I found Robin Thicke's version. Pretty similar, but there is something about Blake's voice that is very appealing to me. I hope he makes it to the finale. I want more Blake!
You and me, both, exactly."Roxanne" was good, better than I was afraid it might be, but didn't knock me out. I can't quit listening to "This Love" and "When I Get You Alone."
The one time I don't want to hear either of these songs again is this evening, in the last minutes of AI!
OH!!! VERY good point! I will be so bummed if he leaves tonight.Originally Posted by calamari;2394950;
Oooooookaaaaay... I found the Robin Thicke version, and it was a great aha! moment.
The Thicke version suffers from the too-much-emotional-distance thing that I'd worried about Blake sometimes doing. You're just not sure if, when Thicke gets her alone, he's going to seduce her, take her out to play video games, or drown her in the nearest river and hope the cops never find the body.
Blake brought the relevant emotion -- it's crystal clear that when he gets her alone, a very good time will be had by all. As Jennifer Lopez advised, "Pick up that girl!" And it is very, very cool -- and very seductive -- in that ol' Mr. Spock way (a reference from Simon's era!) when robot techno-boy shows passion.
Originally Posted by calamari;2394882;

I'm thinking back to his audition even in the euphoric moment of moving on to Hollywood he took the time to praise his dad as the "hardest working man in Seattle, you can ask anybody that." Blake's learned from a great role model.
Knowing his strong work ethic, his originality and having his pulse on contemporary styles, I really am looking forward to seeing his finished product when he makes his debut album.
In contrast the more we get to know Jordin the more we see that she is simply a pageant contestant. Very sterile and safe and non-threatening. She's not singing contemporary music because she has no frickin clue about it. I would bet anything that any CD ever released with a parental warning label attached, Jordin has never heard. Her favorite song is still Mmbop and earlier in the year she said her favorite movie was a Disney movie (can't remember which one).
If we get a Blake v. Melinda finale, next week will be like watching the Super Bowl with your two favorite teams going against each other. It really will just be a celebration and not really caring much who wins.
Not much to add here -- you guys said it well. Just wanted to jump in and say "Yeah, Blake!!!" Boy did great.
Really, really, really hoping for him to make it to the finals (with Melinda, as I enjoy her more than Jordin and believe she deserves it more.)
Exactly my thought.Originally Posted by BuckeyeAddict;2394618;
And Melinda is no reincarnation of Tina Turner, even if AI wants to turn her into one. Does anyone know what the real Tina is up to?

I'd like to make an announcement of great social and political import:
"One Night With Janis Joplin," starring Mary Bridget Davies and now enjoying its second run at Arena Stage, is headed to Broadway in the fall.
"Joplin" will arrive at New York's Lyceum Theatre after years of touring across the country. In true rock-star style, the show has played stints from Portland, Ore., to Pasadena, Calif., from Cleveland to Milwaukee, and it will be here in the District until Aug. 11.
Peter Marks reviewed "Joplin" when it first appeared at Arena and was floored by Davies's Janis-doppelganger looks and vocals. He described her sound as "a version of the Joplin screech that starts somewhere around the singer's ankles, wends its way up into the back of her throat and shoots off into the farthest reaches of Arena's Kreeger Theater." Phew. Brace yourself for that one, New York.
"Joplin," which includes all the Janis songs you know and then some, is written and directed by Randy Johnson. Previews in New York begin Sept. 20; opening night is Oct. 10.

Fort Bragg, N.C. • The Army general at the center of a sexual misconduct case that put the military justice system itself on trial was spared prison Thursday and sentenced to a reprimand and a $20,000 fine a punishment legal experts, a women's group and members of Congress decried as shockingly light.
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, 51, immediately announced his retirement, capping a humiliating fall for the battle-tested commander once regarded as a rising star in the Army. A disciplinary board could still bust him in rank and severely reduce his pension.
"The system worked. I've always been proud of my Army," Sinclair said outside court after reacting to his sentence with a smile and an embrace of his lawyers. "All I want to do now is go north and hug my kids and my wife."

Coast Guard suspends search for kite surfer
Posted September 20, 2011
Buxton, N.C. — The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a missing kite surfer off Hatteras Island, authorities said Tuesday.
The unidentified 44-year-old man was last seen Sunday evening, authorities said. Dare County 911 dispatchers contacted the Coast Guard at about 6 p.m. Sunday and reported the surfer's board and kite were located in the shoals without him.
Rescue crews from Hatteras Inlet and the Coast Guard Air Station in Elizabeth City searched more than 2,500 square miles without finding the man, authorities said.

My main issue is that ALL the styles come into InDesign.
Usually I'll open a new InDesign document and place the text in there. Then I'll copy and paste that text into the InDesign File that I was working on.
Maryanne wrote:
Can you import only paragraph styles into InDesign CS5 from a Word document without importing the document itself? I have an InDesign file that I would like to format using paragraph styles that are used in our Word doc. template. Is there a way to import only those styles or do I have to create them manually in the InDesign document. I can only find info on how to capture the paragraph styles while importing a Word document.
If you want to bring in styles from a Word file, yes, you do have to import the Word doc manually. (The Load Styles command in InDesign's Paragraph Styles and Character Styles panel menus can only import styles from other InDesign docs.)
However, once you import styled text from Word or from any source into an InDesign file, the styles that came along for the ride are now part of the InDesign file itself, even if you delete all the text you just brought in.
A placed MS Word file (the text to an Alcott novel) brings along all its lovely Word styles.
Delete the text, and the styles remain. Sometimes that's exactly what you want.
So the answer to Maryanne's question is to import the Word doc into a temporary text frame, like on the pasteboard. The styles get added to the INDD file. Then delete the text frame, and the styles stay, ready for to apply to text in InDesign.
Hi Anne Marie,
I am sure you have seen hat the Word paragraph and character styles of a Word file to be placed into an open InDeseign document are added JUST AFTER clicking the OK button in the Import Options window, even BEFORE actually clicking or dragging a text frame for temporary placing the text.
Therefore, just click the ESC key for not even placing any text on the document!
You can also custom assign or map the Word styles to the Basic style or any other style using the Word Import Options.
The problem with style mapping is that all of the styles that exist in the Word doc, whether they are used or not, show up in the Microsoft Word Import Options dialog box, which can make it difficult to tell how to map a style. This is where Auto Renaming might come in handy, perhaps?
I am a paperback writer, frustrated with MS Word. Can I simply begin a 500 page project within InDesign 5.5, set my styles, and write the whole 500 pages there? When it comes to exporting to epub, I farm that out. But dealing with MS's 'bring along formatting' seems like a nightmare.
Dear AM
Thanks for your prompt and encouraging response. I'm upgrading from CS5 to Design Premium 5.5 to prepare myself for my next book – imagining that I can do most of the ebook additions, pictures, plus outputting to Kindle as well as paperback etc without having to send it out to someone else.
FYI – Link to my first book, "Hawk."
Would you advise writing the next book in Word first and then importing it into InDesign for the addition of style and flourish, or should I just do the whole thing in InDesign from the start.
And last question, have you noted any installation problems upgrading from a stand-alone CS5 to the more robust Design Premium 5.5?
I added the link to "Hawk," just in case your husband is a fan of award winning spy novels :)
For authoring, my preference is a word processor, partly because it divorces design from content. The author and designer hats are better kept separate (even when they're being done by the same person!).
If you're like most of us, you already have enough trouble keeping your inner editor at bay while you write the first draft. If your inner designer is also trying to butt in while you're banging out story, that will only be another distraction and can't help the narrative.
If you name your styles adroitly in Word, you can map them to your InDesign styles on import, and unless you have a lot of illustrations, call-outs or other graphic bric-a-brac, you won't lose any time overall, and will probably gain time by writing without the mental overhead of trying to lay things out while you're supposed to be creating the content.
For writing, you might want to look into the top-rated Scrivener, which has versions for Macs and Windows, with the latter in beta. It's got features that make writing flow much, much better than either Word or InDesign. Unlikely either, it's designed for writing books.
Scrivener also has built-in support for export to ePub and the Kindle, along with a Word/rtf export that's simpler and thus less like to cause trouble when importing into InDesign.
My workflow is to write in Scrivener until the content is virtually done and then import into InDesign for the final layout.
Thank you for the referral to Scrivener – a program I've not heard of. I'm on my way to check it out, but wanted to thank you first.
A question about your importing to InDesign – As you know there are articles written even within this feed that discuss the problems incurred when importing to InDesign and trying to eliminate formatting that comes with whatever your program of initiation was. Are you saying that Scrivener doesn't have such problems?
Scrivener for Windows is great news. I've not been following development so I'd missed that. Thanks, Mike!
Is there an option that allows you to not import styles from a word document?

D.C. online gambling bill could see compromise
WASHINGTON (AP) - The D.C. councilmember who pushed for online gambling says he plans to offer a compromise bill to avoid a complete repeal of the program.
Councilmember Michael Brown tells The Washington Times that he doesn't think the council should throw out a law that he says will bring in at least $150 million over the next 10 to 15 years. Brown plans to introduce the bill on Tuesday.
The Finance and Revenue Committee voted last week to send the repeal bill to the full council. A majority of councilmembers have said they support repealing the nation's first government-sponsored online gambling program. The law is on the books but has not been implemented.
The strong backlash on the D.C. Council to the district's online gambling program has little to do with moral opposition to gambling. Instead, councilmembers are upset with the way it became law, saying they didn't realize they had voted to approve it.

The home base of the 2012 Summer Olympics managed to be big and bold but minimalist at the same time. The oval-shaped centerpiece of the new Olympic Park seated 80,000 for the Olympics, but used just 10,000 tons of steel—the Bird's Nest in Beijing featured 42,000 tons. The final result of the architects' materials-cutting was a stadium 75 percent lighter than it would have been if designers had gone with a full-concrete version. Today crews are retracting the stadium even more, pulling away the fabric roof and Lego-like steel supports to create a final-use stadium that seats just 25,000. It won't be as spectacular as the Olympic guise. But, hey, it's better than letting Olympic venues fall into disrepair.
If you're skittish about heights or confined spaces, maybe the Aizhai Suspension Bridge, which is the world's highest bridge connecting two tunnels and also one of the world's longest suspension bridges, isn't for you. Formally opened in March 2012, the bridge hovers roughly 1200 feet over the Dehang Canyon and spans a tower-to-tower distance of 3858 feet. Engineers used the two mountains on either side to help anchor the suspension tower heights. It produces a more striking visual for those driving the bridge, even if they don't see the approaching marvel and its 1888 adorning lights until they pop out from the mountain.

France, Britain agree more Libya 'military pressure': source
French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron agreed at a meeting Wednesday to step up military pressure on Moamer Kadhafi's regime in Libya, a French presidency source said.
During a working dinner in Paris, Sarkozy and Cameron agreed to increase "military pressure" on Kadhafi who "stays determined to maintain his war effort against his own population," the source said.
"All means must be made available" in the fight against Kadhafi, the source said, amid efforts by London and Paris to step up pressure on their NATO allies to help defeat his regime.
"It is important that the coalition shows its total determination to protect the civilian population, to end the sieges -- worthy of the Middle Ages -- of Misrata and Zenten, and to make Kadhafi's troops return to their barracks," the French source said.
Paris and London led international calls for action to prevent Kadhafi's regime from cracking down on a revolt against his rule, and now complain that they have been left with too great a share of the military operation.
"The reason for being here in Paris tonight is that Britain and France are at the heart of this coalition," Cameron told broadcaster Sky News in Paris before the meeting.
"With President Sarkozy, I'm going to be sitting down and making sure we leave absolutely no stone unturned in doing everything we can, militarily, diplomatically, politically to enforce the UN resolution," he said.
France and Britain believe that a United Nations Security Council resolution passed last month to authorise force to protect civilians in Libya authorises a NATO-led coalition to bombard Kadhafi's heavy weapons.
Cameron said France and Britain want "to put real pressure on Kadhafi and to stop the appalling murder of civilians that he is still carrying out.
"I'll be talking with President Sarkozy about what more we can do, how can we help the opposition, how can we make more military pressure through NATO, what we can do to target this regime and the dreadful things they are doing."
The two leaders did not make public statements after the meeting, which was also attended by their defence ministers, France's Gerard Longuet and Britain's Liam Fox.
The Paris talks came a day before the NATO alliance holds a meeting in Berlin that is expected to be dominated by the Libyan crisis, and one month after the start of US, French and British airstrikes.
A senior French official earlier said the meeting was to ensure the two countries, which led international calls for action against Kadhafi, were still on the same page as they lobby their NATO allies to act more aggressively.
Both France and Britain have complained the other Western allies are not sharing enough of the burden of enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya and in bombing Kadhafi's artillery and armoured vehicles on the ground.
They have warned that without greater support from other NATO powers it will be hard for British and French jets to break the regime's siege of rebel-held Libyan cities like Misrata, where civilians are caught up in fighting.
"It is appalling what Kadhafi is doing in Misrata," Cameron told Sky. "But NATO has taken steps. We have destroyed dozens of tanks and other armoured vehicles around Misrata. We are taking action."
The international contact group on Libya began its first meeting Wednesday under the joint chairmanship of host nation Qatar and Britain, with UN chief Ban Ki-moon among the top-level delegates.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague told the contact group that members should maintain "pressure on the Kadhafi regime by implementing the Security Council resolution and enforcing sanctions... making clear that Kadhafi has to leave."

Lake Erie wind farm proposal wins $4 million in federal fundingDecember 12, 2012 in Technology / Energy & Green Tech
A regional team including researchers from Case Western Reserve has won $4 million to design a wind farm in Lake Erie – along with the possibility they can compete for $46 million more to build it.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced Wednesday that Northeast Ohio's Project Icebreaker is one of seven proposals nationwide to advance in the high-stakes competition to prove the promise of offshore wind power.
LEEDco, the Lake Erie Energy Development Corp. formed in 2004, created the Northeast Ohio public-private-academic partnership behind Project Icebreaker. The organization's proposal called for the installation of nine 3-megawatt turbines seven miles off the shore. The challenge now is to determine the details of drilling into the lake's floor, transporting the structures out into the water, and finally getting them to stand – and stay – upright.
Ultimately, the goal is to demonstrate how to build a wind farm that provides power at the same cost as traditional electric plants when the cost of construction, maintenance and energy production are averaged over the 20-year life of the wind turbines.
"There are 8,000 parts in a wind turbine and every little thing we can do to reduce the cost or increase the energy produced is in play," said David Matthiesen, a professor of materials science and engineering at Case Western Reserve and the research team leader for Project Icebreaker's research and development group.
The group includes the universities of Michigan and Toledo, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's National Wind Technology Center and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Mathiesen is director of Case Western Reserve's Wind Energy Research and Commercialization Center, part of the university's Great Lakes Energy Institute.,With support from the state of Ohio, the center erected one wind turbine on campus and two in Euclid. The turbines provide energy but are primarily research instruments used as test beds for new products, materials and technologies developed by academic and commercial partners, many of which are also involved in the offshore project.
"Wind energy research and the three wind turbines we have provide us unique opportunities to explore an important future area of energy production for the U.S.," said Jeffery Duerk, dean of the Case School of Engineering.
The energy institute supports faculty in energy research by promoting collaborations—including industry and university partnerships. Since the institute's inception in 2008, CWRU has quadrupled its level of energy-related research.
Part of the funding growth reflects increasing focus on energy across multiple engineering disciplines. In this project, for example:
- Civil engineering professors Michael Pollino and Bill Yu will test and monitor materials and designs in the department's structures lab, on both land-and water-based turbines.
- . Civil engineering professor David Zeng will test the makeup and stability of core samples from the lake's floor. to determine which of three possible turbine foundations to use
- Mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Iwan Alexander, will investigate wind turbine noise, the wake created under different conditions and the optimal wind farm layout.
- Materials science and engineering professor Roger French will put parts and materials through accelerated weathering and aging processes to find and correct shortcomings to the 20-year life for turbines. French and his colleagues developed the process in his lab, the Solar Durability and Lifetime Extension Center.
The Department of Energy also selected four proposals to put turbines off the East Coast, one off the West Coast, and another off Port Isabel, Texas. The Department of Energy plans to award full funding for the construction of three of the seven competing wind farm proposals once the engineering and design for each are completed next year.

Student shot near dorm at Elizabeth City State University
Posted April 14, 2013
Elizabeth City, N.C. — Police at Elizabeth City State University are investigating a shooting that injured a 23-year-old student near a dorm Saturday night.
According to a statement posted on the university's website, police have not made any arrests but say they are "confident" that the shooting was retaliation for a fight that had occurred earlier Saturday at Butler Hall.
The victim, identified as Jake Laumoli, was taken to a local hospital and later released. The extent of his injuries was unclear.
ECSU was temporarily placed on lockdown – the second time in as many days.
On Thursday night, the campus was shut down for nearly two hours after reports of gunshots. There were no reports of injuries.

LOSTOCK Tiny Tots is celebrating after its early years provision received a 'good' rating in its first Ofsted report since moving into Lostock Gralam's Vicarage.
The pre-school, which has been providing childcare in Lostock Gralam for 20 years, moved from its former home next to Lostock Gralam Primary School to the Vicarage on Station Road last September.
"Our recent Ofsted demonstrates how much work all the staff and committee have dedicated to setting the vicarage up as the village pre-school, with many of us often being here after hours to get everything just right," said school supervisor Sandra Waterhouse.
"Having Ofsted come to inspect and to highlight all the good and the positive that we are doing makes it all worthwhile - all the staff here do it because we love the children and want the best for their futures."
As well as thanking the team for their hard work, Sandra also said a fond farewell to the school's deputy, Kelly Johnson, pictured.
"Kelly has been with us now for more than two years and will be sadly missed by the children and families she has worked with.
"From us all at Lostock Tiny Tots, hugs and kisses for all your hardwork and good luck with your next childcare venture."

In general, vacuum transfer systems are only to be used for products which are either dry, or have such a low moisture content that they display all the properties of a dry product. However, some moist products can lend themselves to vacuum transfer, although trials are always recommended in such instances to confirm suitability.
One such instance involved the transfer of a highly volatile pharmaceutical product, from a centrifuge, to drums for onward movement to the dryer. The solvents used in the manufacturing process were highly flammable, and to compound this, the actual product itself would explode if impacted with sufficient energy. The moisture content of the product at the end of the centrifuge cycle was typically 6 - 7%, and had the consistency of snow.
Quadro's engineering expertise was called upon to provide a suitable solution, which it did by designing its Quadro Vac® to handle this tough-to-transfer product without any problem. The moist nature of the product did not hinder the transfer process, and no evidence of product retention was found in either the conveying lines, the primary filter or the discharge chute. Another successful Quadro Vac® application achieved.

Serrano Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month at Fall for Arts Festival
Senator Serrano attended the 4th Annual Fall for Arts Festival, a free outdoor event presented by the Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation. The Serrano sponsored event was a one of a kind outdoor gallery with a highly acclaimed mix of visual, performing, culinary, and interactive arts commemorating Hispanic Heritage Month.
The festival offered activities for children and adults of all ages, and featured Latin music and dance performances.
"As an avid advocate for the arts, it is thrilling to see families from all over the city, and people of all walks of life, come together in celebration of Latin culture and of art in all disciplines," said Senator Serrano, who serves as Chair of the Senate Committee on Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and Recreation.
"The Fall for Arts Festival is a fantastic event that exposes our youth and the community at large to all of the talent and culture that is at their fingertips as residents of the greatest city in the world."

- Patents
A patent is a licence from a government giving (for a set period of time) the sole right to a process or invention. For the duration of the patent no one else can make, use or sell the invention without the permission of the inventor. Like any other property, a patent can be bought, sold, rented or hired. In return for this monopoly, the inventor must disclose technical details of the invention, which are published by the Patent Office.
Patents are a vital source of technical information, and can save time spent on duplicated research. They can also be useful as a source of information about a company for job-hunters and interview candidates.
Finding patents
There are several databases you can search, and you can use them without a username or password both on and off campus. We recommend starting your search with Espacenet.
Espacenet (European Patent Office)
Contains the full text and bibliographic details of more than 70 million patent documents worldwide, from 1836 to today, although coverage depends on country. British granted 'B' patents from June 2002 are available from the British Espacenet server only. Access to Espacenet is free.
UK Patent Office Espacenet tutorial offers help with searching Espacenet by name, keyword, patent number and IPC code.
Espacenet help brochure (PDF) gives brief information about searching and the coverage of the database.
USPTO (US Patent and Trademark Office)
Gives full text and bibliographic details of patents. It covers 1790 to date for granted (issued) US patents and from 15 March 2001 for published applications. You must have a TIFF image viewer plug-in installed in your web browser to view and print the full text images.
Help can be found on the homepage of the databases. There is help for using both the Issued Patents and Published Applications databases.
USPTO also provides a Patent Alert service. If you register, this service will send you information about new patents matching your subject area.
Google patents
Uses data from the USPTO, but with a friendly full-text search and downloadable PDFs.

|Some Descendants of
Nicholas Rockwood
of Braintree, Massachusetts
My most recent ancestor of this line was **Joanna/Johannah Rockwood/Rocket, daughter of Josiah Rockwood, b. 1693, d. ? The record of her family below the divider is quoted from History of Medfield, Massachusetts, 1650-1886, edited by William S. Tilden, published 1886 by Geo. H. Ellis Publisher, Boston, pp. 471-474.
For more information on this line, see also Richard Rockwood or Rockett/Agnes or Anna Lovell.
Also, some contributors to the defunct GenCircles web site attributed the first wife of Nicholas Rockwood, whose full maiden name was Jane Adams, as being a daughter of Henry Adams, the ancestor of Presidents John and John Quincy Adams, but others do not place her with that Adams family. Due to this ambiguity it appears that there is no record that definitely shows her to have been a daughter of Henry and Edith Rosamund (Squires) Adams, so it appears to me that those who have attributed her to this family, did so only because she lived in Braintree, where the famous Adams family also lived. Also it is known that the names of 2 of the 7 sons of Henry Adams were not mentioned in his will, so it probably seemed likely that one of his daughters was overlooked, or perhaps they reasoned that she had received her portion of her fathers estate when she married. Lastly, she seems to have died around the age of 30 years, which would have given her an approximate date of birth of 1624, which date falls in among those of the births of the children of Henry Adams. The only records I, personally, found of her were in the book, Vital Records of Medfield, Massachusetts to the Year 1850, published 1903, Boston, Mass. by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, where her name is recorded as Jone Rockwood. Her name is recorded as Jone in the birth records of her 3 children, Samuel, Benjamin and Josiah, as well. See also, Richard Rockwood or Rockett/Agnes or Anna Lovell
See also, A Genealogical Dictionary of The First Settlers of New England, Before 1692, Volume 3, Robinson—Rodman By James Savage.
NICOLAS ROCKWOOD was the son of Richard of Braintree. His house lot was on Bridge Street, a little westward of where Charles Russell now lives. His first wife, Jane, died in 1654, [exact date: 15 Dec 1654] and he married in 1656 [exact date: 16 Jul 1656] Margaret Holbrook. She died in 1670; and in 1675 he married Silence Duntling, who died in 1677. He was burned out by the Indians in 1676 [probably during King Philips War]. The house was rebuilt, and it was deeded to his son-in-law, John Partridge. Nicolas, in 1678, exchanged land on this side for a grant west of the river; and it is probable that after the death of his third wife he lived with one of his sons on the west side.
The estate of Nicolas included no houses. He died in 1680 [exact date: 26 Jan 1680/1681, Medfield, Mass.]. The name is often spelled Rocket in the old records. Children:
- ELIZABETH 1657-1688; m. in 1678 John Partridge 46.
- JOSEPH, 1659; m. in 1679 Hannah Partridge 47, who had one child, Hannah, in 1680, and died the same year. Joseph died in Swansea in 1693.
- NATHANIEL, 1665-1726; m. in 1698 Joanna Ellis60; settled in Wrentham.
SAMUEL2 (Nicolas1) was a tanner by trade. In 1667, his father secured a grant of four acres bounded east by the brook, taking in the brook at the north-east corner, being granted for the encouragement of his son Samuel to set up the business of tanning, a cartway to lie through the end next to the brook. This tanyard was near the crossing on Railroad Street. He married in 1671 Hannah Ellis415. Children:
- HANNAH, 1673-1730; m. John Hill4.
- SUSANNA, 1675-1712; m. Samuel Hinsdale14; second Ebenezer Thompson.
- ABIGAIL, 1679-1696; m. in 1696 Joshua Wight13.
- JOSEPH, 1686; probably died young.
JOSIAH2 (Nicolas1) settled on the west side of the river. He married in 1677 Mary Twichell3, who died in 1699; second, in 1703, Sarah, widow of Samuel Wheelock5. He died in 1728. Children:—
- ISRAEL, 1677-1704; was a soldier.
- MARY, 1681-1762; m. in 1711 Samuel Turner18.
- BETHIA, 1683; m. in 1712, William Burgess.
- MEHITABLE, 1686-1763; m. in 1709, John Allen12; second, in 1755, Samuel Clark38.
- HANNAH, 1691; died young.
- **JOANNA, 1693; [Vital Records of Medfield has the date of birth for Johannah Rockett as 2_-Dec-1693 (page torn). She m. Gershom WAIT of Sutton, in Sutton, Mass. on 4 Oct 1723, per Vital Records of Sutton to End of the Year 1849. I have not found a record of her death, but according to the Waite Genealogy web site, Gershom died in Nov., 1784, probably in Massachusetts. They had 3 known children in Sutton: (1) William Wait, b. 4 Sep 1725; (2) Elizabeth Wait, bap. 30 May 1731. C.R. Mahitabel in pencil. [Probably same as Mehetabel below.]; Mehetable Wait, b. 27 Mar 1731; and (3) Josiah Waite, b. 14 Jan 1728. William Wait, their eldest child, m. Ruth Lovell, of Sutton on 24 Oct 1744, and among their children was a daughter Bethia (Waite) Burnap, wife of Timothy Burnap, who were the grandparents of my g.g.grandfather Leonard Cole (1819-1885) of Leominster, Mass.]
- HANNAH, 1696; m. Joshua Whitney of Uxbridge.
BENJAMIN2 (Nicolas1) went as a soldier to the eastward in Philips War. July 4, 1677, Ben: Rockett of Medfield is reported wounded at Salem, — two shots in thigh.
In 1742, being then ninety-one years of age, he sent a petition for aid to the General Court—
Benjamin Rockwood, Sen. of Wrentham, on account of being twice wounded in the eastward about the time of Philips war, and having taken a sudden cold, he was sent to Salem for the cure of his wounds, and his recovery. He was there a quarter of a year before he could be removed home, and had never fully recovered, but was left in habitual ill state of health, and was dependent on others. He had received no pay, and was supported by his eldest son-in-law, William Mann, Sen., and asks a grant of unappropriated land for William Man. The said Mann testifies that his father Rockwood is a man of verity and truth, and that his statement can be confirmed by his aged Medfield acquaintance where he was born. His neighbors in Wrentham also send a statement that they verily believe that his ill state of health was occasioned by the hard service that happened to him at Blackpoint under command of Capt. Swet. The court granted him 4 [pounds] a year during life. He married in 1678 Judith Ellis53, having settled in Wrentham somewhat earlier. He is said to have been the man who discovered the trail leading to Indian Rock. He was one of the constituent members of the Wrentham church. He died in 1747. Children: —
- BETHIA, 1679; m. William Mann of Wrentham.
- MARY, 1683-1763; m. in 1708 Samuel Fisher11.
JOHN2 (Nicolas1) settled on the west side. He married in 1688 Bethia Twichell. He was constable in 1709, and sealer of weights and measures the next year. He was also the first town clerk of Medway. His children are recorded there. He married, second, in 1710 Sarah Adams129. He died in 1746. Children:—
- BETHIA, 1689; m. in 1711 Daniel Lawrence.
- JOSEPH, 1692-1774; settled at Oxford.
- SAMUEL, 1695-1754; m. Mary White of Mendon; lived in West Medway.
- BENJAMIN, 1697; m. Rachel Morse; went to Grafton.
- HEZEKIAH, 1702-1757; settled in Medway on the homestead.
- JOHN, 1706; m. in 1733 Hannah Fisher of Dedham; settled in Hopkinton.

16 comments:
what an awesome post!!! I love Revlon & MAC lippies too but only the creme & amplified finishes, respectively. Nars is definitely up there too, as is NYX & Rimmel :))ReplyDelete
Such a cute photo, great idea! I only have a few MAC lippies so far but love Lustering=) Want Impassioned but it is always sold out, must be a winner;)ReplyDelete
This is a cute post! I'm not sure if I have enough lipsticks to give it a try, but it sounds like fun :)ReplyDelete
Great post! I am totally on the beginning end of my lipstick collection... and I don't like most of them! I need to work at that. Did the MAC artists help you pick out those colors?ReplyDelete
I don't really wear bright lips. Am in love with Modesty by MAC now for work though..thanks for sharing this post! =)ReplyDelete
I'm surprised to say I really like the Mac Dubonnet and Cockney although I'd never picture myself wearing them. I wonder if I even have enough lip colors/glosses to do a post like this. I've really scaled back lately on what I have. I'm trying to use what I do have before buying new or I stick to specific colors I've used for years and don't venture into new shades. Or I cocktail/mix colors to make something new...LOLReplyDelete
wow you have allot of favorites great choicesReplyDelete
Lovely reading - thanks!ReplyDelete
I'll be doing this tag on my blog later today. :)
Nice choices :D I really want both MAC Cockney & Dubbonet!ReplyDelete
