John Graves (1) was born about 1700 in VA, and died about 1764-68 in Orange Co., NC. He married ‑‑‑‑‑‑ about 1720 in Orange Co., NC.
John Graves and Frances his wife are listed several times: 1722 in Chowan Co., NC, deed; 1738 tax of Bertie Co., NC; and 1764 tavern license in Orange Co., NC. It is believed that John Graves had a brother Thomas, and it has been suggested that John could have been the John Graves with wife Frances of Spotsylvania Co., VA. (The John Graves of Spotsylvania Co., VA, who married Frances was born about 1685, died after 1772, and stayed in Spotsylvania Co., so could not be the John of Orange Co., NC.) (R‑2)

Robert Graves (2) was born about 1735 in VA, and died about 1789 in Camp Creek, Orange Co., NC. He married ‑‑‑‑‑‑ about 1760 in Orange Co., NC. All their children were born at Camp Creek, Orange Co., NC. Robert witnessed a deed in 1760, and in 1764 he was granted 200 acres from Thomas Graves and 201 acres from John Carrington. He had dealings with a John Graves also. Robert Graves deeded property to Pierce Jones and his daughter Sally in May 1785 in Orange Co., NC. (R‑2)

Leonard Graves (4) was born about 1765, probably in Virginia, and his will was proved in May 1811 in Mercer Co., KY[3]. He served in the American Revolution in the Lincoln Co., Va. Militia as early as 1781. He first married Mariah Gordon on 5 June 1786 in Lincoln Co., KY. He married second Sarah ("Sally") Brown on 2 Nov. 1796 in Franklin Co., KY.
The will of Leonard Graves, dated 26 March 1811, names his wife Sally and children Sally Tally, James Graves, John Graves, Rice Graves, Levy Graves, Greenvil Graves, Scott Graves, Polly and Patsy Graves, and Levin Graves. Leonard appoints James Graves, Benjamin Daniel, Daniel Burford and Bernard Noel executors of his estate. The will was proved by Sam'l Sale, John Odell and Thomas Johns, the three witnesses, in May 1811.
Mercer Co., KY, Will Bk. 12, page 115, dated Feb. 1844: Division of Land of Leonard Graves, Dec'd among his heirs, 165 acres in the Shaker Bend of Kentucky River allotted to children and heirs on application of Scott Graves, one of the heirs. Land allotted to the heirs, residents and non residents... Lot 1 - Robert Alexander and Martha (Graves), his wife now deceased, 25 acres; Lot 2 - John Graves heirs, 20 acres; Lot 3 - Alexander Newton and Polly (Graves) his wife, 22 acres & 2 roods (sic); Lot 4 - James Graves, 22 acres, 1 rood (sic); Lot 5 - Leving Graves, 20 acres; Lot 6 - Scott Graves, 19 acres, 13 1/2 square poles, 1 rood (sic); Lot 7 - Levi Graves, 19 acres, 1 rood (sic), 13 1/2 square poles; Lot 8 - Nelson Tally and Sarah (Sally Graves) his wife, 19 acres, 1 rood (sic), 13 1/2 square poles.
It is likely that Leonard Graves was descended from Capt. Thomas Graves of VA (gen. 169), possibly by way of John Graves and Susannah Dicken. (R‑6, R‑8)

Sarah ("Sally") Graves (7) married Nelson Talley on 21 Dec. 1807 in Mercer Co., KY. Bondsman was John Samuel, bride's father was Leonard Graves, teste Willis Blanton. Nelson died between 10 Sept. 1842 (date of will) and Nov. 1842 (date of probate) in Mercer Co., KY. His son Scott Graves was named as administrator of Nelson Talley's will. (R‑8)

Bondsman Leving Graves, bride's father Nelson Talley, witness Alexander Newton.
James H. Graves (8) was born 25 Jan. 1790 in Mercer Co., Ky., and died 11 July 1857 in Georgetown, Vermilion Co., Ill. It is not proven that he was a son of Leonard Graves; the present evidence is circumstantial. The names of some of his children were the same as those of Leonard; for example, Greenville, Scott, Levi/Levy/Levin were all in both families and are not common names. Two of the children of James had L. (possibly Leonard) as their middle initial, and the oldest son of Orville Scott Graves (one of James' sons) was named James Leonard Graves. James supposedly moved to Clark Co., Ky. with his parents when he was a small boy. (Does this conflict with Leonard leaving a will in Mercer Co.? It would be interesting to see where Leonard was living when the 1810 census was taken.)
James Graves married Margaret Blackburn, daughter of Joseph Blackburn, on 15 (or 16) June 1814 in Winchester, Clark Co., Ky. She was born 15 Oct. 1795 in Clark Co., Ky., and died 28 May 1887 in Georgetown, Ill. They were both buried in McKendree, Vermilion Co., Ill. James was a cabinet maker. He and his family moved to Illinois in Sept. 1828. According to Portrait and Biographical Album of Vermilion and Edgar Counties, Illinois, Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1889, the father of James Graves was a native of Scotland, and crossed the Atlantic in time to assist in the early settlement of Mercer Co., Ky. (It is also possible that this statement of Scottish origin referred to the father of Margaret Blackburn, since errors of that sort often occur in historical sketches of this sort.) He was married and reared a family, and his son James fought in the War of 1812 under General Harrison on the River Thames in Canada, becoming a personal friend of the hero of Tippecanoe.
"First Census" of Kentucky, 1790, compiled by C. B. Heinemann, lists only William Graves in Mercer Co., as of 18 April 1789. "Second Census" of Kentucky, 1800, by G. Glenn Clift, lists only Leonard Graves in Mercer Co. in 1800. It is possible that William was related to James, and had either died or moved by 1800. (R‑5, R‑8)

William Logan Graves (48), called Logan, was born 15 July 1829 in Somerset, Pulaski Co., Ky., died 9 Dec. 1897 in Oklahoma Territory, and was buried in Moore Cem., Cleveland Co., Okla. He married Catherine Clonch (or Claunch) on 24 March 1851 (according to Pulaski Co. Historical Soc., Pulaski County Marriage Records, vol. 2, 1851-1863, p. 45), or 25 March 1851 by Elder Daniel Buckner (according to the family Bible). She was born 1 July 1829, died 17 July 1903 in Comanche, Indian Terr., and was probably buried in Moore Cem., Moore, Okla. She was a daughter of Christopher Clonch (23 Jan. 1782 - 9 June 1857) and "Polly" Hardister (?) (18 Aug. 1790 - 27 July 1872), since their birth and death dates were included in the family Bible, and she was mentioned as his daughter in Christopher's will (book 5, p. 128, 1857, Pulaski Co., Ky.). Christopher G. Clonch (21 Oct. 1816 - 24 April 1839), also included in the Bible, may have been her brother.
William farmed in Pulaski Co., Ky., and owned a large area of land. Tobacco was the main crop. He owned slaves before the Civil War. Catherine was given a negro slave as a wedding gift. The negro wanted to continue living with them after the Civil War and did not want her freedom. The Graves family kept her as part of the household, and she helped with Florence when she was born.
Around 1889 their son, William C. Graves, and a friend from the Sparks family were charged with the murder of a groceryman. The trial was moved to another court, but William Logan Graves was forced to sell part of his farm to pay the expense of the trial. The son was acquitted and soon after, William Logan Graves sold the remainder of his farm and moved his family (including two older sons and their wives) to Missouri, and then to Oklahoma Territory. The family moved to Moore, Okla. the latter part of 1890. The older sons went to Perry and Red Rock to establish a business. William and Catherine were both buried in the Moore Cemetery, and their graves are now unmarked. He preceded her in death, and she lived with two of their sons in Perry, Okla. All their children were born in Pulaski Co., Ky. (R‑1)

From History of Vermilion County, Illinois, vol. II, Pioneer Publishing Co., Chicago, 1911, pages 597-598: "For over sixty years L. T. Graves was a resident of Vermilion county and came to be numbered among its most worthy citizens. He was born on a farm which now adjoins the northern boundary line of Westville, his natal year being 1846, and he was the son of Greenville Graves, one of the pioneer settlers of this county. Upon the old home farm he grew to manhood and at the usual age began his education in the old McMillan schoolhouse near his home. After attaining his majority he came to Danville and commenced clerking for William Mann, who at the time owned the largest dry-goods store in the city. He continued in his employ until Mr. Mann's death and later held positions in several other stores but finally turned his attention to reral estate and in that business met with most excellent success from the start. A progressive and energetic business man, of known reliability, he usually carried forward to successful completion whatever he undertook.
Mr. Graves was married in Danville in 1893 to Miss Alice Hiestand, a daughter of William Hiestand, who came to this city at a very early day. Here she was engaged in the dressmaking business for a number of years, her patrons being among the leading citizens of Danville. To Mr. And Mrs. Graves were born two children: Margaret Marie and Mabel Alice, who are now attending school.
Mr. Graves was a very prominent and active member of the First Presbyterian church and died in that faith on the 10th of January 1907. By his ballot he usually supported the men and measures of the democratic party and as a public-spirited and enterprising citizen took a commendable interest in those enterprises which he believed calculated to advance the moral, intellectual or material welfare of the community. He was actively identified with all church and philanthropic work and his aid was never withheld from any worthy object. A consistent and earnest Christian and an enterprising and loyal citizen, his death was deeply mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances." (R‑8)

Sallie Scott Burton (131) was born 29 Nov. 1863 and died 18 Feb. 1917. She married Benjamin Franklin Smart on 20 Oct. 1885. He was born 13 Dec. 1850 and died 9 Jan. 1921.
Her obituary: "Mrs. B. F. Smart died at her home in Shaker Bend on last Sunday night at 10 o'clock, of cancer from which she had been a long sufferer. All that could be done by loving hands was tendered her. Last Saturday when she realized the end was near she called her loved ones around her bed and bid them goodbye. A devout member of Mt. Zion Methodist Church and a true Christian, much beloved for her kindly character and good life, death had no terrors for her. Beside her husband, she leaves four children, E. B. Smart of Lexington, Mrs. M. D. Gordon, John and Martha Smart all of Shaker Bend, and two brothers, Scott Burton of Danville, and Charles Burton of Lexington. Funeral services were held at the home conducted by Rev. S. A. Arnold of Wilmore and attended by a large number of sorrowing friends. The interment was in the Daniel Burying Ground near by. The sympathy and prayers of friends extended to the stricken family in the affliction."
His obituary read: "Sincere regret was felt by the Shaker Bend community Sunday, Jan. 9th when B. F. Smart was called by the angel of death to his own and final home. Two days later his ashes were returned to the kindred earth from whence they sprang. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family, but we know there is but one comforter who is bale to console them.
They say he's dead, but he is not, He only lives above. Where all is peace, heavenly peace, Where reigns the Prince of Love. They say he's dead, but he is not, He has only finished his pilgrimage. To that celestial land beyond the river Where he comes to his heritage. Oh friend, mourn not his loss, He has only answered the roll call, That glorious roll call of God Which sooner or later will come to all. We will not call him back To this land of pain and strife, Since to a soul weary and tired Sweet is death after life. Thelma Campion." (R‑8)

His obituary follows.
James L. Graves, Pioneer of Two Runs, Dies Here
Burial at Moore to Follow Rites in City Sunday
James Logan Graves, 75-year-old city and Moore pioneer who made both the '89 and Cherokee Strip runs, died Saturday at the home of a daughter, Mrs. C. E. Wheeler, 1009 Northeast Tenth street. Services will be at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in the Perrine funeral home with burial in the Moore cemetery.
Graves, a city resident for 52 years[10], worked as a nurseryman until failing health caused his retirement in 1923. At various times he was employed by the Oklahoma State Fair association and was on the police and sheriff's forces. For the last 15 years he had made his home with Mrs. Wheeler.
Going to Moore at the opening in 1889, Graves was associated with his brothers in the Graves Brothers store. He married Sara Cole in 1893, Mrs. Graves dying three years later.
Graves was born Feb. 14, in Somerset, Ky. He was one of the founders of the Baptist church in Temple, Cotton county, where he had lived at times.
Survivors include one son, James L. of Los Angeles; another daughter, Mrs. H. M. Bayless, 2626 Northwest Sixteenth street; a sister, Mrs. Florence Mounger, 1600 Northeast Twelfth street; and a brother, Seymour, of Los Angeles.

Florence Graves (154) was born 17 July 1873 in Somerset, Pulaski Co., Ky., and died 21 May 1954 in Oklahoma City, Okla. (death cert. 007227, Okla. Dept. of Health file). She married John Lee Mounger, called Lee, on 18 Oct. 1892 in Norman, Cleveland Co., Okla. Terr. (Bk. I, p. 207). He was a son of William Mounger and Mary Scott, was born 28 Nov. 1868 in Venice, Madison Co., Ill., and died 5 April 1955 in Okla. City, Okla. They were both buried in Moore Cem., Moore, Okla.
Florence and Lee lived in Moore, Oklahoma Territory, moving to Waterloo, Oklahoma Territory about 1896. John Lee Mounger was affectionately called "Captain" by his fellow railroad workers. He worked as a Section Foreman, and often they lived in a Section House provided by the railroad. He was called "Lee" by his family.
With the exception of wagon trains and stage coaches, means of transportation didn't change much until the arrival of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad (called the "Katy") in 1873. Between 1880 and 1910, railroad track mileage increased from 189 to 5,980 miles, crisscrossing the state in a network that reached all towns of major size and many smaller ones. The first paved road was not completed until 1930. It had a total length of 264 miles.
Railroads had their problems in the early years with Indian hostility, a class known as "Terminuses" or frontier "Badmen", and trainmen of these days had to be "hard" to keep trains running at all. Indians referred to the "Devil's Ironrails". Around the council fires the rainmakers told their people "the clouds could not get across railway tracks." The tracks were laid in 52-pound rails. It was about 1903 before 60- to 65-pound rails were laid. Railroads received sizeable land grants.
In 1898 they moved back to Moore and to Oklahoma City in 1899. From Oklahoma City they moved to western Oklahoma and bought a farm near Elk City, where they were required to live on the property for six months to "prove" it.
One railroad job took Lee Mounger to Missouri, allowing him to return home only on weekends. They settled in Agra about 1907, and the four children attended school there. Agra is in northern Lincoln Co., Okla., 13 miles north of Chandler. The post office was established Dec. 20, 1902. Agra's name was coined by the townsite developer from the word agriculture. It was a thriving community on the Katy Railroad line. From their house they could see the station and observe arriving and departing passengers. There were school and church functions, socials, and many lifetime friends continued to visit them in their later years.
They returned to Oklahoma City with the Katy Railroad about 1920 and remained there until their deaths. Lee Mounger retired from the Katy Railroad after working past the mandatory retirement age by "simply not telling them his age." He continued in part-time work until his death. Their home was at 1600 N.E. 12th Street. (R‑1)

She operated a dress shop in the Security Bldg. in downtown Oklahoma City from about 1917 through 1921. Because of temporary ill health, she moved her shop to her parents' home.

Down Down the Deep River
R1 - America - Kino Lorber
Review written by and copyright: Robert Segedy (16th September 2017).
The Film
Nostalgia can be a strong muse and that is what led to the creation of this film. Will Sheff, lead singer for the band, Okkervil River, channels this feeling for the 80s and the films of that period into this short film. Two young boys (Dustin Courmoyer and Griffin Gamache), share a bond through their love of drawing, science fiction films, and the woods in this almost wordless film. Set in 1987 in rural Meridian, New Hampshire, this is the recreation of the directors childhood memories. The plot, which is very much undefined, is that the two boys, one an isolated loner, the other a new comer to town, quickly become friends and meet an imaginary creature in the woods. The film is not dialogue driven, but is essentially a mood piece, that uses music and imagery to move the film forward. I can understand what the director was trying to achieve through this film, but I believe that he did not accomplish what he had in mind, even though there obviously was a lot of effort put into trying to recapture a magical time in the past. Very few films manage to do what Sheff was attempting to do, and Rob Reiners film "Stand by Me" (1986), based on a Stephen King novella, "The Body", accomplished that, but that film featured some major Hollywood money behind it and was a polished production.
It is obvious that this film was a labor of love for all involved, but especially director Will Sheff and the films producer/cinematographer Johnny North. Listening to the voice over narrative with the duo, Sheff provides much information regarding the props used in the film, including many personal possessions of his own from his childhood, all which give the film a specific authenticity regarding the time invoked. I was reminded of several of Ray Bradburys stories as I watched this film because many of his works focused on a certain time in the authors childhood as well. The problem overall is trying to capture on film what is in essence a feeling or an idea regarding something that has happened in the past. The filmmakers tried their hardest to portray a period of time that has passed us by: video games of a certain era, Walkmans and cassette recorders instead of iPods and iPhones, VCRs and videotapes instead of DVDs, even the films that the boys watch while drawing their aliens is a cheesy poorly done Korean animation. The whole product screams that we are in the 80s and the production values of the boys world is spot on, and the two leads are excellent. The cinematography is interesting with many scenes taking place outside in the woods that Sheff played in as a child. As an experiment in trying to reproduce a specific feeling through the use of storytelling and music, the film generally succeeds, but I still believe that it falls short of being a complete success. Perhaps it was the lack of dialogue that distanced me from completely believing in the product as a whole; the two boys are shown doing a number of things both together and alone, but the lack of dialogue bothered me in some regard. Kids being what they are, especially boys, are loud and gregarious. These two pre-teens are more self-absorbed and perhaps that is the films weakness.
This film was sourced by many fans of the band Okkervil River through a Kickstarter fund raising program and fans of Sheff and his music will no doubt be pleased to see the directors vision reaching fruition. The soundtrack was produced with care and music was provided by LoveStreams; Sheff speaks in depth about recording external crowd dialogue and outdoor sounds on the voice over narrative track.
It is obvious that Sheff is a musician and he is in tuned with the use of music throughout the production. He speaks of the subtle variations that are used of the main theme song and how they change throughout the film. The changing of the seasons are also a theme that is focused on in the film and we experience the span of a complete year in the lead characters life. Throughout the film is an overall feeling of mild despair, a yearning for the past and an invocation of wanting to relive the time again. Ultimately the director acknowledges that he was feeling an unresolved yearning for these childhood years and that inevitably he has exorcised these demons and made peace with the feelings. Sheff comments in an Austin Chronicle interview "It summed up something I wanted to say about my whole life, about my childhood and my adulthood and my friends and my town. That (film) is supposed to feel happy and sad, like my childhood."
The packaging states the film as being in 1.78:1 widescreen, in fact it's actually 1.90:1 widescreen anamorphic, the overall production is pleasing to the eye, with plenty of outdoor scenes and a generous palette of browns, tans and greens. Interior shots are moody and help convey the feelings of helplessness.
Two audio tracks are included in English Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and English Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo. A rich 5.1 Dolby mix of environmental soundscape, musical tracks, and very little dialogue. Optional subtitles are included in English for the hearing impaired.
The features include an audio commentary by writer/director Will Sheff and producer Johnny North, voiceover narrative that covers the making of the film.
"Behind the Scenes" featurette (25:00), the director and cast members discuss the film.
Deleted scenes (5:30), these are cut scenes from the final film.
Music videos, 17 videos included on the disc from the band Okkervil River.
"Read-Along Adventure Book and Recording" feature (42:00), is a feature that plays alongside the film.
Theatrical trailer (1:33).
Comes packaged with a twenty-four page "Read Along Adventure Book" booklet.
This film is a labor of love by Will Sheff and his friends, this short film tries to express a certain period of nostalgia for the past, specifically 1987 in his hometown of Meridian, New Hampshire.

Romans 3:3-4 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that sufferings produces perseverance, perseverance character and character hope.
If I asked you do you enjoy suffering your answer immediately would be NO. For no one enjoys pain. And yet Paul tells us that we are blessed because of it. You might be saying how am I blessed from it? The reason you and I don't see suffering as being blessed is because we are looking at it from our stand point and not God's view.
Paul describes sufferings as one of the blessings of our salvation and renewed relationship with God. The word "sufferings" refers to all kinds of troubles and difficulties that may affect our lives. This includes such things as the pressures of school, job, family situations, financial, physical needs, tragic circumstances, sorrow, sickness, persecutions, mistreatment and loneliness.
These are just a few of the thing a Christian will experience. In the middle of these troubles, God assures us of His presence enable us to depend on Him and help us draw closer to Him. It's through the tough times we also find strength and maturity that helps us to overcome other difficulties in life. Instead of driven us to despair.
Remember suffering produces perseverance and perseverance produces character and proven character results in mature hope. A hope that looks to the future with God and that will not disappoint
It's God's grace that lets us look beyond our present problems to find hope in our relationship with God. In the end that hope is focused on the certainty of Jesus return to rescue his people from this evil world and to set up his kingdom with them in heaven and earth.

Stone Bridge City Park by figstreetstudio
JK Schwehm, artist
I take a lot of photos of places I love in my city. I grew up walking in City Park and hanging out around this Stone Bridge. I have painted it in acrylics a few times. I use the photos I take to paint from. In the above picture I recently took I used software to make a new fall composition to paint at a later date. This computer generated composition came out so interesting I put it on a greeting card. As my time is limited it may be a while until I get to paint it so I now have it to enjoy to then.

A WorldTeach Volunteer has been in Ecuador for almost a year now. Here, she shares the highs and lows of her time abroad and gives advice to prospective volunteers. Read on to hear feedback from her experience and to learn more about volunteering with WorldTeach Ecuador.
What was your most memorable experiences with WorldTeach and why?
My most rewarding experience has been creating meaningful relationships with Ecuadorians. I did not expect to make such deep connections with my friends here. Although I am sad to leave Ecuador, I think that is a good feeling because it means that I have created roots here.
What is the most interesting thing you learned about yourself through this experience?
The most interesting thing I learned about myself was that if I "say yes" to everything, I will almost always enjoy the experience. I've done a lot of things this year that I might not have done in the States, and I hope my sense of adventure carries back to the States.
What was most difficult for you in this experience? How did you confront this challenge?
The most difficult part of my experience was being constantly sick in Ecuador. My stomach has had a really hard time adjusting to the food and I've had some serious problems here. But, because I've enjoyed my year here so much, I try not to let it bother me and think of more important things. To a certain extent, it is out of my control because I live with a host family. I also try to seek out food, when I travel, that will make me feel more comfortable.
What qualities do you think are important for WorldTeach volunteers to have?
I think the two most important qualities are flexibility and patience. It is almost inevitable that you will run into frustrations at your teaching site, whether its getting paid late, dealing with a director who speaks no English, or running into bureaucratic hold-ups. I can guarantee that you will run into frustrations in everyday life– long lines, pushy people, men who cat-call, people not understanding your Spanish, late busses etc. It's important to have patience and realize that this is part of the experience. Flexibility is necessary as things almost never work out the way you think they will. Part of having flexibility is being able to laugh about your frustrations.
What advice would you give to someone considering WorldTeach?
I think it's important to really understand that your primary responsibility here is teaching. Although we only teach 20 hours a week, we spend many more hours preparing and grading. Sometimes your traveling will be limited by this and its important to know that you're making a commitment to your students. If you want to travel around South America heavily this might not be the program for you.

"Sangh parivar" in the ordinary political jargon, found in the media and heard on the political platform, means a conglomeration of RSS , VHP, BJP, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, Swadeshi Jagaran Munch, Bajrang Dal and other such organizations which the so called "secularists" consider to "communal". The unscrupulous politicians and senseless media who always condemn the RSS and all the above mentioned organizations which are the offshoots of the former can never understand ..
The first meeting with the great colossus occurred in the life of this writer when he was just a Shishu (child) Swayamsevak at Ernakulam, sometime after the first ban on RSS was lifted in 1949. Sri Guruji was on a whirlwind tour of the country and he came to Cochin State, now part of Kerala. There was big gathering to see this great man. This little Swayamsevak who was also sitting in a row at the Sanghasthan wanted to have a closer glimpse of the saintly personality. He stealthily jumped to the front ..
In 1964, when the vishwa Hindu Parishad came into existence because of the deep foresight of Sri Guruji and the inspiration and support received form Swami Chinmayananda who happened to be another mentor of this writer from his young days, he dedicated himself heart and soul to the mission and became a fulltime worker of the cause. However, he was involved in the activities of the Central Chinmaya Mission Trust also as a member of the Advisory Board. He attended one of the meetings of the board held ..
This writer was in charge of the Nagpur Bureau of Hindustan Samachar, a news agency started by members of the Parivar, and in those days, he used to stay in Dr. Hedgewar Bhavan, the Headquarters of RSS at Nagpur. He had the opportunity to come in close proximity of Sri Guruji, and other stalwarts of the Sangh Parivar, like Balasaheb Deoras, Sri Baba Apte, Sri Deendayal Upadhyaya and Sri Eaknathji Ranade. There were no restrictions at all to meet any of them at any time and we would walk into their ..
Sri Guruji always had intimate personal correspondence with Swayamsevaks from all over the country. And to every letter that he received, he used to reply directly in his own handwriting. Those were the days when computers and cell phones had not invaded the Karyalayas. Even the mechanical typewriters were not much in use.

The fulsome homage paid to Shri Guruji on his demise by eminent personalities in every walk of national life made it clear that the controversies about him were reduced to ashes along with his mortal frame and his unique contribution to the nation's life shown in all splendour. Making a significant departure from parliamentary practice both Houses of Parliament paid tributes to this great man, who was a member of neither house. The following selected tributes highlight the greatness of this classic ..
Acharya Vinoba Bhave described him as a "leader with broad national outlook, who always thought on an all-India level. Shri Golwalkar had faith in spiritualism and had great regard for all religious faiths. He did not have a narrow view of any religion. In fact he had respect for Islam and only expected the Muslims to join the national mainstream" Puri Shankaracharya Shri Niranjandas Tirtha praised his work of organizing the Hindu Society and his efforts to remove the blemish of cow-slaughter ..
President V.V. Giri: "A deeply religious man with great organizing ability" Vice-President G.S. Pathak: Shri Guruji had completely dedicated his life at the altar of the nation. He did great work for reforming Hindu Culture. Loksabha Speaker Shri. G.S. Dhillon: Due to his towering personality and his great erudition Shri Guruji occupied the pride of place among the nation's thinkers. Prime minister Smt. Indira Gandhi: "Shri Golwalkar, an eminent personality who was not a member of the House, is ..
The Times of India, Mumbai: For lakhs of his followers Shri Guruji was another Swami Vivekananda and a venerated protector of Hindutva, while his innumerable critics look upon him as the dictator of Hindutva. Still it can not be denied that he was an advocate of strength who wanted a strong and united India that would forge ahead without giving up its glorious historic identity...

Well, now you need to know this:
If you want to go to Alcatraz buy tickets in advance...because EVERYONE else does.
We went back to the Golden Gate Park via bus (yes, that's right we are nearing muni pro status on Day 3). We took a lovely tour of the Japanese Tea Gardens (recommend!). We used City Guides for the tour, it's a group of volunteers that provide free tours throughout the city. It's a branch of the SF Library - such a great idea. Then we went over to Stow Lake and relaxed for a while. We considered paddle boats, but the 20 mile ride from the previous day kinda put me over the edge.
Instead we walked over to The Taco Shop @ Underdogs for the best fish taco I've ever had in my life. So so good. It was a crunchy corn tortilla inside a soft tortilla the fish taco was stuffed with cabbage, guacamole, cheese, cilantro and delicious salsa.
Then we tried take a walk through Buena Vista Park but all the bum/hippy population of SF gets comfortable in this Haight/Ashbury park and they had a difficult time refraining from yelling obscenities as us- and while the climb to the top is said to offer the most beautiful view in the city we only made it up about 3/4 of the way because we started to get uncomfortable about interrupting ...em, sleeping peeps.
So we move along...
Surprisingly the east side of Buena Vista is virtually hippy free and the walk is down hill (FINALLY) into Castro. Of course this was the perfect opportunity for Doug to recall every SF joke he's ever heard and the best part of all is that Castro proudly boasts their very own sausage factory. Love it. Don't, however, love it as much as the bi-rite Creamery, which happens to probably be the best ice cream we've ever had. Really- EVER. Salted caramel...enough said.
We progressed from Castro via muni up to Market where we took the historic cable car ride through the city and ended at Fisherman's Wharf. First stop: Musee Mechanique. Maybe the best museum in the city? It's full of old carnival games, available for you to play. Some of them are recent enough that I remember from my childhood, but the majority of the games are way older than even my grandparents. So fun!
We of course stopped at Pier 39 and messed around in the shops, watched the sea lions and then saw a super fun "side show" on the pier stage. It was really amazing. (The guy put real actual scissors in his nose.)
From there we ventured into Little Italy- adorbs. We had dinner at Il Pollaio, a wonderful little place that was voted best comfort food in the city. Really great. The food was so wholesome, delicious and authentic tasting.
I think that was the end of our day...whew. We are getting worn out from the crazy walking- there's no rest for the tourist when Doug Shumway is around.

Oklahoma Teen Gets Life in Prison for Killing Five Family Members
The brothers told police they wanted to be known as famous criminals and launch a nationwide killing spree.
19-year-old Robert Bever and his brother 17-year-old Michael Bever are currently accused of murdering their parents, two brothers and their sister. They bludgeoned and stabbed the five individuals in their family home. Another sister survived the attack and a two-year-old was found unharmed.
Robert Beaver plead guilty to five counts of murder. Michael has a trial set for July 2017. The murders took place in July 2015 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Police found the blood-soaked home and were able to track down the boys in the woods nearby.
Michael has not entered a plea yet, but he will be charged as an adult in the case. Michael was only sixteen when these crimes took place.

Topic Page: Battle of New Orleans, 1815
(1815) Battle between the U.S. and Britain during the War of 1812. Late in 1814 a British fleet of more than 50 ships commanded by Gen. Edward Pakenham (1778–1815) sailed into the Gulf of Mexico and prepared to attack New Orleans. Gen. Andrew Jackson, commander of the U.S. Army of the Southwest, which consisted chiefly of militiamen and volunteers, fought the British regulars who stormed their position on Jan. 8, 1815. His troops were so effectively entrenched behind earthworks and the British troops so exposed that the fighting was brief, ending in a decisive U.S. victory, a British withdrawal, and the death of Gen. Pakenham. The battle was without military value, since the Treaty of Ghent ending the war had been signed in December, but the news had been slow to arrive. The victory nevertheless raised national morale, enhancing Jackson's reputation as a hero and preparing his way to the presidency.

The aspiration of Guiding Light Yoga is to make the multiple benefits of yoga attainable and accessible to all.
Classes are taught in an Iyengar- and YOGAspirit-inspired style. Students are nurtured and guided at their own level to transform their personal yoga practice and to discover their unique wisdom, their own inner light.
Iyengar Yoga, created by B.K.S. Iyengar, is known for its use of props, such as belts and blocks, as aids in performing poses and is characterized by great attention to detail with a precise focus on body alignment. Through the practice of a system of poses (asanas), it aims to unite the body, mind and spirit for health and well-being. Iyengar Yoga is firmly based on the traditional eight limbs of yoga, emphasizing the development of strength, stamina, flexibility and balance, as well as concentration and meditation.
YOGAspirit Yoga, created by Kim Valeri, ERYT a graduate of the B.K.S. Iyengar teacher training program, has its foundation in Iyengar yoga but also incorporates other yogic practices including Kundalini Yoga and Surat Shabda Yoga as well as ayurveda.

Pause, Wait, Stop
I have a few brief thoughts on punctuation.
The Period. As William Zinsser said, most people don't reach the period soon enough. Don't think of the period as something to tack on at the end of a thought, but rather a tool to kill a winding sentence. There's no rule that dictates the length of a sentence, and while you should strive for variety, shorter is usually better. A long sentence allows for loss of focus, punctuation, and control. Short sentences are good.
The Question Mark. This mark causes few problems. If dialogue ends with a question mark, and the sentence continues, the sentence should follow in lower case: "How are you?" she said. This also holds true for exclamation points.
The Exclamation Point. Writers overuse it. Just look at any advertisement in a magazine, newspaper, or billboard. The exclamation point reveals a gushy author, too excited by his own writing. Instead of forcing excitement at the end of a sentence, rephrase the sentence to emphasize what you want (not the punctuation mark), and let the readers understand the excitement themselves. The same applies to humor—an exclamation point kills the joke, ruins the surprise, and forces itself onto the reader. If the sentence ain't funny, I ain't laughing, no matter how many exclamation points you tack on. Use this mark in these two situations: dialogue that reflects shouting, and exclamations. Alas! That is it.
The Semicolon. Perhaps the least understood and most judged punctuation mark. The semicolon splits a thought, if you will, in two. Both sides of the semicolon relate to each other; both sides must be complete sentences. When used correctly, the semicolon offers a longer pause than a dash, but a shorter pause than a period. When used incorrectly, it stands naked on the page, screaming for help. Avoid using the semicolon often, though don't shy from using it in lists where items contain commas.
The Colon. The colon works to introduce a list. We visited five countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Algeria.
The Dash. For some reason academia and haughty writers treat the dash as though it were improper and too colloquial. Don't let this thought ruin your use of the dash, which stands as a valid and effective form of punctuation. Use the dash for two purposes: to justify a statement and to form a parenthetical. The parenthetical—you could use parentheses as well—needs to have both beginning and ending dashes, unless it ends a sentence—this being an example.
Note: don't let me catch you appending sentences with two punctuation marks. How'd he do that!? is disgusting. Pick the right mark, and kill the other.

Notes of Gratitude
I am deeply touched by the concern members of the blogging community have shown for me in moments of despair. The way each of you tried to say something that would pep up my spirits really meant a lot!
It was one of the most tumultous times I'd been through. But Ji's love and all your support made sure that it didn't last long. It's soothing to know that I have friends out here who try to make me feel better. I thank one and all - DreamCatcher, Mukund, Johnny, Saurabh, Red, Alpha, Abhinav, Rohit and ArcaneCrapper - for your wonderful gestures.
No matter how dark life is, I can face it because my Lord and my Ji are with me, forever...

At the beginning of January, I put on a summer-in-winter concert in Edmonton called "Winter's a Beach". There were costumes, games, prizes, and beach themed drinks. There was also an incredible Surf Rock band that opened for us called The Tsunami Brothers - it was incredible. I like to think about that time when we were transported back to lazy days at the beach, watching the sun set (later than 4pm), and going outside wearing a normal amount of clothing (not three thousand layers). I still dream of those days. This party was incredible. I promise there will be more like this. It was too fun not to do again.
This photo was taken by the incredible Alex Vissia (check out her ridiculously awesome musical project here)
I will be working on some new projects (I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOU ABOUT THEM!!!)

Common Residency Requirements
State laws can vary greatly when it comes to the residency requirement. In some states, including Alabama, at least one spouse must have lived in the state for a set time period, such as six months. Other states, including New York, offer a reduced time period required to establish residency, if the events that led up to the marital breakdown occurred locally. Finally, some states, including Maine, allow you to divorce, if you were married in that state and the filing spouse currently lives in the state, and has done so for any length of time. It is not uncommon for states to have one or more options for satisfying the residency requirement.

Salford Reds bosses will sit down next week with teenage French star Theo Fages and his father to discuss a new long-term contract.
Fages' father is travelling from France for the talks.
Reds' Super League rivals Les Catalans have sounded out the highly-rated 17-year-old but he is keen to make his mark with Salford, having joined the club last year.
Football director Steve Simms said: "Theo is a very exciting young player with a great future ahead of him.
"We will be talking about his future and looking to sort things out.
"He has made great progress – he is a good lad and rugby league is his life."
Meanwhile, ex-Reds boss Kevin Ashcroft says a ground- share at Barton with Sale was inevitable but he is adamant Salford will retain their own identity while John Wilkinson remains in charge.
Sam Tomkins column: Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand thinks Warriors are Red-hot team too
Salford City Reds are delighted with MEN fun-day booster
Ashcroft said: "Reds will be independent because John is Salford through and through.
"The only time things will change will be when they hammer down the nails on his coffin and it is time for someone else to take charge of the club.
"The two clubs are bound to work closely in the future but the 'us and them' view of league and union no longer exists.
"In the near future, one independent body may well control the two clubs but that is for the future."
Meanwhile, Oldham hope Neil Roden recovers from a dead-leg in time for the Challenge Cup clash with Barrow. Coach Tony Benson said: "We have already beaten Barrow and want to show this was no fluke – it is a really important tie for us."
Rochdale have recalled Will Chadwick from his loan spell at Huddersfield for the Challenge Cup clash with Leigh. Tony Stewart could also return from injury.
Swinton, who host Gateshead on Saturday, could be without the influential Mike Morrison, who damaged his collar-bone on Good Friday.
Leigh are on the look-out for a forward to replace Michael Worrincy, who has returned to London.
Wigan coach Shaun Wane could be set to play some of the club's highly-rated youngsters in Sunday's Challenge Cup clash with North Wales Crusaders.

Justin and Sam were allured by their charming young teacher from the very first lecture, but all their awkward attempts to seduce her failed, so they decided to enjoy her gorgeous body against her will.They broke into her flat, tied her hands and gave Miss Jones a couple of cock-sucking, pussy drilling and cum swallowing lessons.David hid himself near the stairwell and started waiting for his victim.Soon he heard her heels clattering on the stairs and when she passed his ambush he silently approached her from behind, grabbed her by the waist, gagged her mouth with his hand and dragged kicking and twisting slut to his flat.Mary was looking in the mirror and suddenly saw the reflection of a scary masked guy standing behind her.
He pulled down the front of her top revealing swaying mounds of her tits and she tried to smash the glass on his head.
Angered and horny, he gagged her with her apron, pressed her hands to the wall and started tearing off her clothes biting her nipples and pulling up her panties that painfully cut between her pussy lips.
She tried to break away from his hands, but he then tossed her to the floor and forced her to sex.
Since her neighbor left for holidays, it made no trouble to break in her room having opened it with a stolen key.
Joanna was sleeping when two throbbing cocks and huge dildo was pretty ready for dirty action!

Shot at Nezu Jinja, a Shinto shrine in Nezu, Tokyo.
The approach was crowded with the worshipers. The fair stalls stood side by side and everybody enjoyed the day of a festival. When I threaded my way through the crowd, I found a baby buggy and a little girl standing beside it.
She was looking upward with a frowned expression. Unlike other people here, she seemed not to enjoy the atmosphere. Perhaps, her parents didn't buy what she wanted. So I wanted to tell her that she could buy anything she wanted when she grew up.

Courtland Rogers: Jenelle Evans' Ex Arrested For Heroin Possessionby Tyler Johnson at .
Back in Courtland Rogers married Jenelle Evans while they were both in the depths of serious drug addictions.
Needless to say, it didn't end well, and Courtland and Jenelle got divorced after just 18 months of marriage. These days, Jenelle seems to have (mostly) cleaned up her act, but sadly, Courtland is still struggling.
According to TMZ, Courtland was arrested last night for heroin possession, failure to appear in court, and multiple probation violations.
Rogers and Evans were arrested together on a slew of charges just five months after they got married.
They parted ways about a year later.
Jenelle has her own long history of brushes with the law, but she's managed to avoid being taken into custody for almost four months now!
Sadly, that's an accomplishment in Jenelle's world.
Evans was arrested in August for assaulting the girlfriend of baby daddy Nathan Griffith.
Though she was on probation at the time, it looks like Jenelle won't have to serve any jail time for the incident.
Currently, Evans is dating David Eason, who also has a rap sheet a mile long, but sources say the that like Jenelle, the welder and dad has (for the most part) calmed down and sobered up.
Here's hoping Courtland gets the help he deserves...and Jenelle avoids adding any new pics to her massive mugshot collection:
