Lookback: 2016
Taylor was an active, vibrant community in 2016 … and the best way to remember the year was to review its news, by the numbers. So start the countdown, and let's roll through all the figures, and what they meant to the community.
$2.73BDespite a "very weak economy" after several years of valuation declines, Taylor's tax base stabilized in 2014 and witnessed slight increases in 2015 and 2016 as values grew in each of the past two years, to $2.73 billion, according to Standard & Poor's Global Ratings released in November 2016. The S&P gave the City an "A" rating and a stable outlook based on three consecutive years of positive budgetary performance. The score also reflects a return to stability in key leadership positions and positive available fund balances. Stated S&P: "Budgetary performance improved dramatically in fiscal 2013, reversing a trend of structural imbalance, and has since remained consistently strong. Factors in the financial turnaround include a more stabilized management team, significant staff reductions, revisions to health care benefits and tempering declines in taxable value, which drive property taxes."
428 / 1,250The total number of lights on Telegraph Road and elsewhere in the community that are being converted by DTE Energy to the new, improved LED version, which will show an annual savings of approximately $250,000 to the community. The new LED bulbs use less energy and perform much better.
$30,000The approximate cost of the new indoor baseball-softball facility that will replace the old gym in the Taylor Recreation Center. The facility will include batting-pitching cages, synthetic turf. With approximately 2,000 families involved in Little League in Taylor, the facility should get a workout.
$25,000The cost of the City's new outdoor movie screen and sound system, purchased by an anonymous donor. The "Movie in the Park" program opened this fall to large crowds and rave reviews and will be scheduled throughout the community from May to October 2017.
$40,000The cost of a new playscape at Howard Noble Park (right), located on Champaign Street between Huron and Mayfair, near Blair Moody Elementary School.
Two-thirdsThe percentage of power outages in the City attributed to tree overgrowth by DTE Energy, which restarted an intense tree-trimming program in the community in 2016.
33The number of "Coffee With Mayor Rick Sollars' podcasts the City is scheduled to air in 2016. Hosted by Dr. Paul Reeves, the shows are wide-ranging, and are available on the iCare Taylor app and the City of Taylor's website.
$229,845The cost of the new Coan Lake seawall (left) in Heritage Park, replaced in 2016. The old seawall had been deteriorating for years, and portions had even been removed by the City. The new seawall was funded through a FEMA grant and the City's buildings and grounds fund.
$45,000The cost to clear and create a connecting pathway between Heritage Park and Wayne County Community College's Downriver Campus, which will enhance walking, jogging and cycling opportunities in the area. The funds were part of a $95,000 state grant that also includes …
$7,000The estimated cost for a new drive shaft for the waterwheel at Coan Lake, which opens the door for the wheel to have decorative lighting added (through another grant, this one by WCCCD). When finished, the waterwheel will take on the look of a small Ferris wheel.
$8,000The cost to transition 57 Heritage Park light poles to LED lighting, expected to be completed in April 2017.
$15,000 / $12,000The cost of asphalt repairs to parking lots and pathways, along with the cost of pump repairs, in Heritage Park. The asphalt repairs are expected to be finished before the year ends; the pump repairs will be finished by May 2017.
1The one and only Taylor Fire Department Fire Safety House (left) was renovated and reopened in September. The house had fallen into a state of disrepair after budget problems, along with changing ideas and uses for the building. Located next to the Fire Station No. 3, on Ecorse Road, it was originally built in 1991 through a combined effort of the Fire Department, Masco and the Rotary Club. When the fire safety program was active, there was a markedly decline in fire-related crime among youths in the community. The department is reaching out to all schools in the City to schedule tours and demonstrations. During those tours -- aimed at fourth-grade-aged children -- they will learn fire precautions and how to react in an emergency. The department hopes that the children will help prod entire families toward better fire-related topics, like the importance of smoke detectors.
$275M / 1,800The number of investment dollars and jobs recently created in the Eureka Road business, retail and entertainment district according to a 2016 report by the City of Taylor. The information was part of a presentation that Mayor Rick Sollars shared with Wayne County officials as the City attempted to gain further county cooperation in the "Eureka Way!" shopping district. The largest contributors to the investment and job growth opportunities are the renovated Southland Center and scheduled building of the Menards' site on the old Gibraltar Trade Center property. "Until you really analyze the details, you don't realize the positive impact Eureka Way development is having on our community," Mayor Sollars said. "Eureka Road, between Telegraph and Allen, is one of the hottest development areas in Michigan. Every new location adds to our tax base, offers our residents new choices and expands job opportunities."
1,980The average number of monthly Internet Lab users at the Taylor Community Library for the first eight months this year. One hundred and 75 e-magazines (including Consumer Reports) are available through the library, while 22,591 e-books are available through the organization's "Overdrive" program (shared collection free with Taylor Library Card).
2 & 2The number of new fire trucks and Chevrolet Tahoe SUVs purchased for the Taylor Fire Department this year. The SUVs include vivid reflective safety markings on all sides; multi-level emergency lighting that works on a single touch; and an extended bed feature that can serve as command post and equipment storage so that the firefighters are ready for anything that they face. The SUVs were a request of Chief Stephen Portis, who feels that the department will be much more mobile with these vehicles, which will cut down on the larger fire trucks having to be dispatched on a constant basis. The traditional fire trucks are not necessary on many of the department's runs, and the wear and tear of constantly being dispatched ages them. So one set of new vehicles should directly benefit the others.
3The number of hours of free streaming music daily using a Taylor Library Card!
$9MThe cost of the long-awaited Cinemark Southland Center and XD 12-theater complex. Cinemark now stands where the old Mervyn's was located, before it was razed for the new development.
$105,000The investment by Taylor Golf in the interior of the Lakes of Taylor Golf Course clubhouse facility. Included in the renovations were flooring improvements throughout the building, new fixtures in the pro shop, and painting and sprucing up in the snack bar.
60The number of new mini-Mite and Mites involved in the Belle Tire Youth Hockey Program. The new additions bode for a great future of Belle Tire hockey, which is the main driver of revenue at the Taylor Sportsplex. Other 2016 highpoints at the TSX include the purchasing of third Zamboni (emergency back-up); the addition of Lacrosse; new paint in the lobby; the addition of the Divine Child High School Hockey Program; shower upgrades to the locker rooms; "Learn to Play Hockey" for girls instituted; three new graduation ceremonies scheduled; State Wars (National Inline Championship) added to the schedule; HVAC upgrades; new automatic entrance doors; a summer Robotics Competition scheduled; and sound system upgrades.
$8.8MKroger's investment in its Taylor location, which held a grand re-opening in June. It now includes one of the company's largest floral departments and an on-site fuel center. During the grand re-opening ceremonies, Kroger donated $2,500 each to Kennedy and Truman high schools. New Supt. Ben Williams, outgoing Supt. Diane Allen and principals Melissa Skopczynski and Tommie Saylor were on hand. The store introduced "ClickList" during July, which is an online grocery ordering service. The first 400 shoppers were presented with $10 Kroger gift cards during the re-opening.
$10,000The amount donated to the Taylor Schools Foundation for Educational Excellence by the new DFCU Financial location on the corner of Wick and Pardee, which held a grand opening in early May. DFCU purchased and totally remodeled the old Sigur's Florist Shop. The Taylor Public School Foundation for Educational Excellence is a non-profit independent organization of volunteers committed to enriching the educational environment of the Taylor School District. The Taylor DFCU location is the credit union's second in the Downriver area, having opened a Riverview branch roughly 10 years ago.
60The number years in business celebrated by Pia's Ristorante Italiano earlier this year. In March Mayor Rick Sollars and his family visited and helped one of the restaurant's founders, Josephine Pecci, celebrate the milestone. Mrs. Pecci was born and raised in Supino, a province of Frosinone, Italy, before she came to America in 1954 with her father and four siblings to begin a new life. The following year, Pia's started as a pizzeria pickup-only location – and was the first pizzeria in Taylor Township. Josephine and her late husband, Luigi, built the location into what it is today, using her original recipes to lure a never-ending line of satisfied customers. Daughter Dina now runs Pia's – although Josephine still takes an active role.
14/$500,000/$6,000The number of beds donated to the Fire Department; costs in building renovations to its own Telegraph location; and donations to charity, made by Gardner-White Furniture. The southeast Michigan-owned and operated furniture retailer celebrated the grand re-launch of its Taylor store in April. As part of the ongoing festivities, Taylor Firefighters received 14 new beds, and a $3,000 donation went to a pair of important local charities (Enchanted Makeovers, a Taylor-based nonprofit that works with women, children and female veterans battling homelessness; and Humble Design, a Pontiac-based nonprofit that helps furnish homes for the formerly homeless in Taylor and the Detroit-areas).
$100,000A grant awarded to the City by the Blight Elimination Program of the Michigan Land Bank Fast Track Authority, targeting the old and abandoned Fletcher Elementary School along Pardee Road (which was torn down in the fall). In October 2015, the Michigan Land Bank received a $1 million grant from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority to continue efforts to demolish vacant and abandoned structures and promote public safety. County land banks and local units of government with eligible projects across the state were invited to apply for funding. Grant awards for individual projects were capped at $250,000. Statewide, 41 applications were submitted requesting more than $3.4M to fight blight. The City is planning to create parkland on the site.
$350,000 / 300The investment and number of jobs being created by Measurement Incorporated in Taylor. Measurement Inc. is renovating the old Dunham's store in the Taylor Commons Shopping Center along Ecorse Road. The Measurement Incorporated location is scheduled to open in mid-February 2017. It is an employee-owned corporation that provides educational and professional examinations, program evaluation and related services to state and local governments, other testing companies and various professional organizations. Its list of customers includes over 25 state and local departments of education and more than 15 corporate clients and partners.
8/201/$60,000The number of tractor-trailers, pallets of bottled water and donations raised during January's "Operation Flint," the bottled-water donation campaign spurred by the combined efforts of the City of Taylor, Home Depot West and Load One. The original goal was to collect one semi-tractor-trailer full of bottled water and ship it to the beleaguered residents of Flint, who were suffering from a water crisis. The campaign would not have been so wildly successful if it wasn't for its key contributors. Taylor Department of Public Works employee Lonnie Thompson thought up the idea, and relayed it to City Councilman Charley Johnson. Simultaneously, Mayor Rick Sollars, looking for new home furniture with his wife, Alicia, happened upon a similar bottle drive at Art Van Furniture. Johnson called Sollars and they started hashing out the details. Home Depot West agreed to be the host site, and Load One CEO John Elliot agreed to donate the drivers and the trucks ... and the rest is history.
41Years in operation by The Information Center. It celebrated the milestone and a brand new location with festive open house in June. The Information Center, Inc., The Family Resource Place is a private, non-profit organization that provides information and referral and senior services to residents of southeast Michigan, with the objective to connect people with the human service resources that fit their individual needs. Through a variety of programs, The Information Center has been dedicated to the goal of connecting people with resources since 1975. Among the services that TIC offers are information and referral, employment and training, Medicaid waiver, nursing facility transition, adult day care, early childhood home visiting connections, employee assistance programs, options counseling, trusted care solutions and disability screening.
$8.99Cost of a Chicken Apple Club meal, with Acai Berry Boost smoothie, at the new Tropical Smoothie Café on Telegraph Road. It opened this year next to Gardner White Furniture and offers a drive thru and online ordering services. Just in case you're hungry, the Chicken Apple Club is grilled chicken, bacon, smoked cheeses, and Dijon honey mustard plus a crunchy apple and kale slaw on toasted flatbread. The anti-oxidant Acai Berry Boost smoothie is made of Zola Acai, strawberries, blueberries, bananas and pomegranate. It sounds too good to be so healthy.
55That's cents – during 55-cent wings days at the new Primanti Bros. Restaurant, which opened this year in Southland Center. The Pittsburgh-based blue-collar eatery is known for its huge sandwiches, made with homemade bread, tons of slaw, homemade French Fries and your choice of meats hot off the grill. But the location is getting high marks for its 55-cent wings on Sundays (bone in) and Mondays (boneless). A staple of steel town since 1933, the Taylor Primanti's was the first to open in Michigan. We'd include the price of beer in this order, but his is a family magazine!
2The number of new parking spots devoted to seniors/expectant mothers and veterans in City-owned lots around the community. The program started at City Hall, where Department of Public Services employees installed two new spaces outside the north entrance along Goddard Road. Mayor Rick Sollars said: "We've seen these types of dedicated parking spaces in other neighboring communities, and we thought it was a good idea to bring them to Taylor. If it benefits our residents, it's a good idea."
$8.4MThe investment by La-Z-Boy Furniture, which will anchor a new development on the old Taylor Tool location along Eureka Road, directly across from the scheduled new Menards' location. La-Z-Boy previously occupied what is now Hantz Financial before that franchise store went out of business. The new location will be operated by the Monroe-based manufacturer (founded in 1927) of home furniture, including upholstered recliners, sofas, stationary chairs, lift chairs and sleeper sofas. The company employs more than 11,000 people. The entire retail 3.4-acre site will include construction of a 23,200-square-foot commercial building, anchored by a La-Z-Boy store (15,600-square-feet). The remaining space will be occupied by retail and restaurant tenants. The former site used an extensive underground system of tunnels, tanks and vaults that included many contaminants including an oil-filled sump in one room. The environmental contamination associated with those operations poses development constraints that were Brownfield eligible, along with requirements of a storm water retention system. The Brownfield application was approved Taylor and the proposed project takes into account all of the environmental problems at a cost of $633,943. The project will successfully redevelop a contaminated site, and bring increased jobs and tax base (post-development taxable value is estimated at $1.5M). The plan also matches the City of Taylor's vision for the corridor, with enhanced streetscaping, safer walk ability and traffic flow.
$5.2M/50The expansion and jobs created by one of the most unique businesses in Taylor, The Oakwood Group. The company was awarded a $500,000 grant by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation in September, after earlier receiving a 12-year Industrial Facilities Tax Exception from City Council in early August, which will create a $5.2M manufacturing expansion that will add 50 new jobs. The MEDC grant will help Oakwood build 99.000-square-feet of manufacturing space in its facility. The company makes impact absorbers, speaker grilles and automotive badges, employing 288 in Michigan (Dearborn and Taylor).
31,000The approximate number of surgeries performed by The PAWS Clinic, which celebrated five years in existence and $180,000 worth of expansion during a ceremony in September. The clinic is a 501c3 tax-exempt, non-profit organization whose mission is to decrease animal homelessness and needless euthanasia by making high quality, affordable spay/neuter services available to our community.
54,000That's the amount of square-footage that Life Bridge Church is revitalizing after acquiring the old Taylor Lanes. It's not often that an old bowling alley turns into a church, and the facility more than doubles the space currently available to the church at its old Superior Blvd. Location. In addition to much more space, Life Bridge Church intends to use its new venue to support a much larger vision – to create a community center that will offer a similar environment with several entertainment options. The plans include keeping six bowling lanes.
950/$263,000The number of dental patients, and the total funds expended, during the eight years of Shwedel Dental's annual "Dentistry From the Heart." Held in September, Dr. Steven Shwedel and his team of more than 50 volunteers offer free dental care for a day. In 2016, they worked on 105 people in need. Even the thunderstorms didn't keep patients from arriving as early as 3 a.m. Each received fillings, extractions or a dental cleaning. In total over $32,000 in dental services were performed this year. Dr. Shwedel and his volunteers have already marked their calendars for the ninth annual Dentistry From the Heart event to be held on September 9, 2017.
930The number of animals adopted out or returned to their owner by the Taylor Animal Shelter from January through the third week in November. The shelter, a no-kill-for-adoptable facility, continued to hold periodic special adoption days on Saturdays and continued to be upgraded and renovated, with the parking lot resurfaced this fall.
14The number of residential buildings demolished by the City of Taylor in 2016. Ten of those buildings were categorized as "dangerous buildings" and the total cost was approximately $80,000.
$5.46MTotal investment made in the community by 20 new residential permits that were issued in 2016 by the Building Department.
19/2,700The number of programs held in 2016 and the total participants in the Taylor on Watch program, overall. Taylor on Watch is an ongoing educational and crime-fighting program instituted by the Taylor Police. The programs held this year included topics from parenting to home security, crimes against the elderly and identification fraud. Topics in 2017 will include women's self defense, first aid, neighbor relations and gun laws and safety, along with open houses at the police and fire departments. To get involved, call (734) 374-1444.
70,000The approximate numbers of calls that the Taylor Customer Service Center in City Hall recorded through mid-November. Depending on the day of the week, weather conditions and time of year, the CSC handles between 260 to 416 calls in a day. The average wait time is 2:54 minutes.
$3,224,784 / 14 / 8.5The number of dollars spent, streets targeted and miles of roadway renovated though Thanksgiving by the City of Taylor as part of its concrete panel replacement program. The program enables the City to stretch its limited budget in a more cost-effective manner. Those statistics includes 38,970 square yards of concrete removed and replaced, 192 utility structures repaired and 88 ADA ramps constructed in the following locations:
- Hayes (Mills to Telegraph)
- Champaign (Beech Daly to Telegraph)
- Mills (Champaign to Hayes)
- Westlake (Champaign to Myler)
- Sloan (Ecorse to Champaign)
- Wolhfeil (Telegraph to Robert)
- Hayes (Monroe to Pelham)
- Madden (Beech Daly to Westlake)
- Holland (Goddard to Wick and Wick to Trolley)
- Bailey (Chestnut to Eureka)
- Westlake (Superior to Eureka)
- Racho (Eureka to Pennsylvania)
- Hayes (Pine to Monroe)
- Champaign (Pardee to Pelham)
$648,560 / 7 / 2.6The number of dollars spent, streets targeted and miles of roadway renovated through Thanksgiving by the City of Taylor in its hot mix asphalt program. The HMA program addressed the following locations:
- Mortenview (Superior to Eureka)
- Mortenview (Northline to Superior)
- Lorne (Huron to Pelham)
- Empire (Allen to Northline)
- Haskell (Mortenview to Merrick)
- Haig (Telegraph to Beaumont Hospital-Taylor Campus)
- Newcastle (West Pointe to Oak)
276,825The number of linear feet of cleaning and inspection scheduled in the DPW's sewer cleaning and inspection program kicked off this year. This project is the result of a $2 million Stormwater, Asset Management and Wastewater Program grant, originally filed in November 2013. Through Thanksgiving, the project has cleaned and inspected 71,182 linear feet, or about 26 percent of the total project, for an estimated cost of $760,400. The SAW grant program is scheduled to end in June 2017.
18,920The number of linear feet of new water mains installed in the City's water main replacement project in the Northwest section of the community this year. The project cost $3.238 million, and included replacing 64 fire hydrants and installing 21 others.
26,000The approximate number of ballots cast in the City of Taylor during the November 8 Presidential Election. The election drew nearly 57 percent of the registered voters in the community. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton won in Taylor, approximately 50 percent to 45 percent, over the eventual president elect, Republican Donald Trump.
$240,000The amount of funding that the 23rd District Court received from the Michigan Supreme Court to fund the operation of its drug/sobriety program. Instead of costly incarceration, problem-solving courts, like this one, closely supervise offenders who are required to enroll in treatment programs and be drug tested regularly. Extensive follow-up analysis shows that participants in these courts are far less likely to resort to the same problematic activity. Graduates of Michigan sobriety courts are more than three times less likely to commit another offense after two years. The Court has graduated 144 individuals since the program began in 2004.
4The number of consecutive Junior League World Series baseball titles won by a team from Chinese Taipei after the Shing-Ming Junior Little League team from Taoyuan defeated the Kawaihau Little League all-stars from Kapaa, Hawaii, 9-1, in August to earn the world championship for the 13- and 14-year-old division of Little League baseball.
The Chinese Taipei team rolled through the Asia-Pacific region, finished 5-0 in Taylor, outscored JLWS opponents 43-4 and extended a World Series winning streak to 25 games, stretching back to 2012. The 2016 appearance was the seventh straight by teams from Chinese Taipei. During that time, the Asia-Pacific champions have won five world championships.

DOE Spotlights EV Chargers Installed Under the Recovery Act
DOE reported on May 13 that as of that date, more than 1,800 electric vehicle (EV) chargers have been installed under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Coulomb Technologies, ECOtality, General Motors, and others have been moving forward to install the charging stations as part of the Administration's investments in U.S. EV manufacturing and alternative vehicle infrastructure. President Obama has set a goal of putting 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. Since 2009, DOE has invested more than $5 billion in grants and loans to spur the growth of the U.S. EV and advanced battery manufacturing industry.
Charging stations like Coulomb Technologies' pole-mounted charging station for electric vehicles are among the more than 1,800 installed so far as part of the DOE initiative.
Under the Transportation Electrification Initiative, which received $400 million under the Recovery Act, companies are developing, deploying, and analyzing EVs and EV infrastructure, and educating the public to help accelerate the market adoption of advanced EVs. The eight projects under the Transportation Electrification Initiative represent the world's largest electric vehicle demonstration project and will result in the deployment of more than 13,000 grid-connected vehicles and 22,000 charging points in residential, commercial, and public locations nationwide by December 2013. Coulomb, which is providing $22.9 million toward the project cost, is deploying EVs—including 2,000 GM Volt, 200 Ford Transit Connect, 100 Ford Focus EV, and 100 Smart EV vehicles—and is establishing 4,600 EV charging locations nationwide. Through these cost-shared projects, DOE will collect information about how consumers use and charge electric vehicles.
To build on the foundation laid out under the Recovery Act, DOE recently announced the availability of $5 million in electric vehicle funding for local governments and private companies to continue to accelerate installation of electric vehicle charging stations and infrastructure. Communities will work to develop plans and strategies for EV deployment, update their EV permitting processes, develop incentive programs, or launch other local or regional initiatives that improve the experience of EV users and help bring these highly energy efficient vehicles to the marketplace. These projects will leverage the best practices and lessons learned from the initial deployment projects under the Recovery Act. See coverage in the EERE Network News of DOE's partnership with Google. And, DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory is joining with Google and industry leaders to provide up-to-date information about EV charging stations nationwide. See the DOE press release and the DOE Alternative Fuels and Advanced Vehicles Data Center.
Also, California-based AeroVironment announced on May 18 that the BMW Group has selected AeroVironment as the preferred provider of electric vehicle charging equipment, accessories, and installation services supporting the introduction of the all-electric BMW ActiveE, a new class of luxury vehicles. ActiveE vehicles will be distributed in the major metropolitan markets of Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Sacramento. The charging stations will be installed with a 240-volt electric circuit in drivers' home garages. See the AeroVironment press release.

Learn from My Mistake and Save Some Gas Money Too
I didn't find any supporting evidence in probate records but I did find some great indirect evidence in the deeds. I wish I had found some direct evidence but I was very happy with my results none-the-less.
Yesterday, I reviewed my files. I looked over both the family group sheets and the deeds that I had photocopied.
I was aghast. I had a made a glaring mistake. Can you guess what it was?
I had brought family group sheets for the son, father and grandfather. I had completely neglected his mother's family. It is very likely that if probate records existed for his maternal grandmother or grandfather and they died before his mother that they could contain mention of his mother and father and possibly even himself.
Now I've got to pull out the information on the mother's family and do some analysis. Did her parents die before or after she was married? If I'm lucky they will have died afterward so that potential probate records will also mention her husband. If they did die after the marriage, then next I need to see how many of the grandchildren were born before their deaths. If I'm really lucky the grandchildren might be mentioned in the probate.
If it turns out that both grandparents died before the marriage then I won't bother going back to probate. I don't need to prove the maternal line for this particular project. But if they died after the marriage or the birth of grandchildren then I will definitely be making a second trip back.
The Probate Court and Registry of Deeds are 45 minutes from my house. That's a lot of time and gas I would have saved if I had expanded my research the first time around. Learn from my mistake and research both sides of the family even if it doesn't seem like the obvious thing to do. You'll save yourself time and some gas money too.

Marian, This goes back to the to do list. :>) I look at some of the lists backwards from many but, any family name should look at both male and female side for clues. Many say it takes up to much time and it is not important. But the clues many time as you stated are probably there if you had thought to peak.ReplyDelete
Do not be hard on self we are human. Obviously, there is reason you are to go back and I bet it is going to deal with more than what you know now.
The powers that be does that to us ever so often. Something better will come from this. HUGS.
You won't make that mistake again! Good for you. And I agree with Susi!ReplyDelete
During my last research trip I did this to the extent I was able, though we were limited in time. I was also lucky in finding that the man I suspect was the brother of my great-great-grandmother was listed right after my great-great-grandfather (his likely brother-in-law) in the land deed records, and often family members would go in together to take care of things like this.ReplyDelete
This isn't a mistake; it is a learning opportunity!ReplyDelete
Thanks for reminding us to cover all angles.
It is just another reminder that we are all human and sometimes forget that which we know to do. I was in Chicago a month ago looking at deeds and thought the streets were gone, under a highway or hospital. Left the Recorder's office and had a little time before I was to meet someone for lunch and realized I didn't convert the street addresses. If I had, I could have looked at deeds. Oh well - next time I won't forget that.ReplyDelete
Jen - It certainly is the best way to learn. You never make the same mistake twice!ReplyDelete


text: Tom, Josh and Derek are back from the SCAA show. This whole cupper vs. barista thing was really on everyone's minds. Also, our Rwanda roast did quite well in the Roaster's Choice competition despite some very, very beautiful coffees we were up against. We were just hoping to make the top 10! Oddly, I had misread it as "Taster's Choice competition", and was at Costco looking for 30 Lbs of Taster's Choice to enter ... which wouldn't have done quite as well as the Rwanda. Note that this is the exact same lot we roasted a couple weeks ago as our Roastmaster selection.

MTV UNPLUGGED™ sparked a musical revolution when it debuted in 1989. For nearly a decade the show presented acts as diverse as Eric Clapton, Mariah Carey, Kiss and Nirvana in a purely acoustic setting. In addition to spawning a slew of best-selling UNPLUGGED albums, the show also provided the impetus for Martin's 1996 MTV-1 Limited Edition, a groundbreaking Dreadnought that mixed rosewood and mahogany in the body. With 697 instruments sold, it became one of the Company's most successful limited production models ever. In 2002 UNPLUGGED returned to the airwaves as audacious as ever. In the past year, UNPLUGGED 2.0 has showcased performances by R.E.M., Lauryn Hill, Shakira and Staind, catching the attention of a whole new audience. To celebrate the rebirth of this music phenomenon, C.F. Martin introduces the MTV-2 Limited Edition: a unique guitar in the daring tradition of UNPLUGGED.
The MTV-2 Limited Edition takes Martin's 000 design – selected for playing versatility and player comfort – in new and exciting directions. Like the MTV-1, the new model features different solid tonewoods on the bass and treble sides of the body, but this time the contrast is even more striking. The bass back and side of East Indian rosewood emphasize rich low-tone resonance, while the treble back and side of flamed maple contribute bright, clear highs. A small pattern herringbone back strip separates the two woods. The premium solid Sitka spruce top, matched to Martin's "hybrid" scalloped top bracing and 25.4" scale length, highlights these tonal nuances while producing powerful, balanced timbre. Adding to player comfort is the modified low oval, satin finish genuine mahogany neck.
MTV-2 appointments mirror those of the MTV-1, with a few notable exceptions. On the East Indian rosewood headstock overlay, the familiar "C.F. Martin & Co." gold foil logo shelters the "MTV" logo, inlaid in mother of pearl, gold mother of pearl and abalone, with "Music Television" below in gold foil. The unbound ebony fingerboard, 1 11/16" at the nut, features "U N P L U G G E D" inlaid in blue paua shell as position markers at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th (double G), 15th and 17th frets. The Style 45 rosette also features a vivid paua shell inlaid center ring.
On the body, the tortoisecolored binding and end piece are highlighted by contrasting black/white/black/white Style 18 top purfling and subtle black/white purfling on the back, sides and end piece. The black/white motif continues in the ebony bridge, Gotoh® enclosed tuners with ebony buttons, black bridge pins and endpin topped with abalone dots, and bone nut and compensated bone saddle. The clear pickguard – a first for Martin – allows the beauty of the wood and pearl to shine through.
The MTV-2 Limited Edition comes standard with a satin finish. Polished gloss lacquer finish on the body and headstock overlay are available at additional cost under the MTV-2G designation. Martin Thinline 332, Gold+Plus and other sound reinforcement choices also can be factory ordered and installed for an additional fee, though left-handed versions of this guitar may be ordered at no extra cost. Each MTV-2 Limited Edition guitar bears an interior label signed by Martin Chairman and CEO C.F. Martin IV and is numbered in sequence, and each is presented in a #630 Martin embossed molded hardshell case.
#51 of only 200 combined orders will be accepted for the MTV-2 and MTV-2G models. .

Don't get me started. I'll just mention that when the doctor heard how I got injured, he laughed. I'll spare you the gory details, but it involved an epic fight with the mini-blender blade falling into the stand mixer bowl (in action), AND the unlocked dishwasher door. In case you ever wondered why I don't teach knife skills demos. Today, the saga continues with water flooding our building through the upstairs neighbor's apartment.
I hope I'm forgiven if I post this recipe without a proper intro!
To cheer me up, feel free to share your most surreal kitchen accidents in the comment box.
- 3/4 lb "pipe" pasta (penne or rigatoni work too, and use 1 lb if you are a group of football players)
- 3/4 lb Swiss chard
- 1/2 can (1/2 lb) peeled tomatoes, possibly Italian San Marzano quality (or use fresh, seeded)
- 1/2 cup black olives (pits removed)
- 1 chili pepper
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 3or 4 tbsp good extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 tbsp grated pecorino romano
- salt and pepper
Wash the chard and remove the stems and harder part. You CAN use the stems, they taste great! But they will need to cook for twice as long, so it's easier to do it separately.
Steam or boil the chard in salted water (about 5-10 minutes for the leaves, and 15-20 minutes for the stems, if using). Drain, pat dry and choap coarsely.
Heat the oil in a skillet, add the chili (broken into 3-4 pieces), the sliced olives, and the chard.
Drain the tomatoes from the liquid; chop them coarsely (or crush them with your hands) and add them into the skillet.
Cook for about 5-10 minutes on medium heat, and adjust the salt and pepper.
While cooking the sauce, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to the directions on the package, keeping it "al dente".
Drain the pasta without rinsing it, and transfer it into the skillet with the sauce. Saute with the sauce for a minute, stirring.
Sprinkle with the grated cheese and serve immediately.

Really good, just follow the set up exactly and it goes to your nearest station.

Vraiment géniale! Unique ! Bravo Une remarque : serait-ce possible d'utiliser la position gps pour automatiquement changer de référence plutôt que de de mettre manuellement la position ?
Resposta do desenvolvedor
20 de Agosto de 2018, HermoT
If you want TidalFace to use the current position instead of manually setting it, you need to go into an activity and wait for the GPS signal to turn green (also known as getting a GPS fix), then you can return to TidalFace. Just make sure that the manual location settings have been cleared as these get preference over the GPS fix.

Excellent app. I´d be glad to have a few more options though, like displaying the next high and low tides rather than last and next.

Hello, Goog job but you should add a numeric data: the instant water level (as it's done on the garmin Quatix 1) It will be far more accurate and useful than the blue graph inside the time display.
27 de Julho de 2018 | Versão 3.11.0
Super application. Merci ça fonctionne parfaitement sur ma vivoactuve hr.
2 de Abril de 2018 | Versão 3.6.0
Very nice! Works as described. I like having the options to change colors, etc. I am an analog fan but this one might become my most used watch face. (My only request is to have a moon phase and the ability to change the icons on the bottom.) I love to tide pool and beach walk so this will be nice to have. Thanks!

Worked really well but has recently stopped syncing tide data. Could be a watch setting but not sure
17 de Janeiro de 2018 | Versão 2.5.5
Really happy with this face, Looks good and works great. I had a few issues initially but Hermo the developer really stepped up and helped me out. There is some variation in tide times and heights compared to my local tide info source but that's beyond the developers control and who can really say who is right. The differences are not material to me 20 mins or .3m is acceptable.
14 de Janeiro de 2018 | Versão 2.5.5
Great watchafe. I can view tidal info (other tidal applications and widgets from others developers doesn't work or show bad info). It would fabulous if there was a widget like that. Regards and thank you.
Brennan Hill
10 de Janeiro de 2018 | Versão 2.4.0
Love it. I did have a problem at first getting the correct tide heights to show. To get the correct tides (for US waters anyways) you have to type in MLLW in the datum field in settings (Mean low lower water), as it defaults to MSL (mean sea level). Developer was very responsive and helpful.

This guide is intended to acquaint you with the resources and services of the Special Collections and University Archives Section, located on the first floor. The term "Special Collections" is commonly used in libraries to denote materials which due to their value or unique nature have been separated from the main collection to allow careful preservation and controlled use. This definition is applicable to our collection which has a three-fold objective: to collect, preserve, and encourage the use of our special materials to meet the instructional and research needs of UNF faculty, students, staff and other adult researchers.
Our resources include Rare Materials, University Archives, and Special Collections, manuscripts, and primary source materials of prominent individuals and organizations. Each collection is a unique entity requiring varying methods of acquisition, organization, and handling, all of which are described below under Overview of the Collections.
The collection contains high cost items and older imprints, the most notable example being an incunabulum (a book printed before 1501) dated 1496. Rare books on special subjects include a translation of an essay on the medicinal nature of hemlock dated 1760 and a unique pictorial German family bible dated 1889. Limited editions include a special facsimile edition of Leonardo da Vinci's Codice Atlantico and his Madrid Codices. The majority of the limited/signed editions pertain to literature, notably poetry by American poets. There are also books by distinguished authors, autographed and dedicated to the UNF Library.
The Library is developing a local history collection relating to the Northeast Florida region. The collection contains varied and interesting materials: general histories of the region, early guide books to Florida and Jacksonville, souvenir albums, historical calendars, rare maps and pamphlets, Jacksonville Historical Society papers, books by an early local printer, H. & W. B. Drew Company, and postcards depicting historic buildings, facilities and scenes. A representative selection of our local materials have been digitized and are available online through the Florida Heritage Collection.
Rare materials are classified according to the Library of Congress system and are cataloged in the UNF Library Catalog. The catalog records note the rare qualities of the material, e.g., the number of the copy of a limited edition, etc.
The Archives collection is the repository of significant university publications and records that document its history and activities. Materials relating to the history of the University from its beginnings in 1969-70 to the present are preserved and maintained. The collection includes catalogs, correspondence, digitized items, handbooks and manuals, memoranda, newspapers, papers and reports, photographs / negatives / slides, press and media materials, university memorabilia, video and sound recordings, and other materials pertaining to the operations and functions of the University or its faculty, staff, and students. Specific materials range from complete sets of university catalogs and newspapers to official gifts given to the University, photographs of university events, and initial campus planning documents. The Library will attempt to acquire two copies of all materials considered historically significant archival items.
Two distinct units included in Archives are:
An automated index is available in Special Collections to identify and locate materials. Many of the archival items are also fully cataloged with searchable records in the UNF Library Catalog, the library's computer-based catalog, with a location notation for Special Collections.
Theses, dissertations and UNF faculty monographs are classified according to the Library of Congress system and fully cataloged on the UNF Library Catalog. Use the Basic search mode screen and select keyword, author's name, title or subject to search for any of these items. To search only for Special Collections items, use the Advanced search mode screen and click on location "Special Collections".
University Archives provides more detail on services and materials.
These collections include personal papers, manuscripts, and primary source materials of prominent individuals and organizations. Major holdings include the papers of: Eartha M. M. White; John E. Mathews, Jr.; George W. Simons, Jr.; and Arthur N. Sollee, Sr. Detailed descriptive records for each collection are searchable through the UNF Library Catalog.
Extensive finding aids, including container lists and indexes, are available for each collection at Special Collections.

Elegant and Family-Friendly Atlanta Home
View elegant yet durable furnishings in the family home of former Atlanta Braves' shortstop Jeff Blauser.
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 12
Base hits and double plays were Jeff Blauser's bread and butter for more than 10 years as a major leaguer for the Atlanta Braves. Who knew the shortstop had a keen eye for architecture and design as well?
Now retired from playing professional baseball, Jeff and his wife, Andee, drafted their own team--architects, designers, artisans, and a contractor--to build a new home in the Atlanta area. The couple and their two children, Abbie, 11, and Cooper, 8, needed space to spread out, but building big wasn't the overriding goal. Instead, Jeff and Andee favored a flowing floor plan with a great room, kitchen, and loggia on the back of the house that see as much action as a pitcher's mound. Kids' pool parties and sleepovers, family dinners and impromptu gatherings on the loggia are the norm at the Blauser house. Interiors are a graceful blend of Southern elegance and down-home Southern hospitality, reflecting Andee's Louisiana upbringing.
"I love the beauty of neutrals," says Andee, who warmed to a dreamy backdrop of cream and taupe, with blue and chocolate accents. Elegance was key, but so were furnishings that would perform. Antique beams, oiled wood floors, and nubby fabrics tone down any pretense of dressiness and are virtually indestructible. "Both Jeff and I love antiques, so we wanted to go that route," says Andee. "We also mixed in new things because it makes rooms unique and more interesting. We don't want to look like everyone else."
Atlanta designers Heather Dewberry and Will Huff hit the antiques markets and shops with Andee in search of furnishings that were the right mix of comfort and style. "They wanted a home that was great for entertaining and would also feel cozy when it was just the four of them," Dewberry says. Both Jeff and Andee weighed in on design decisions, and Andee, in particular, "had to really love something before they bought," the designer adds.
The same held true for the architecture, with the Blausers taking a couple of years to finalize house plans. "They wanted an English manor-style home, but they also wanted it to be open and contemporary inside," says Bill Harrison, who designed the house with fellow architect Bulent Baydar. Triple gables across the front pay homage to the English style, while huge bay windows ensure interiors are flooded with light.
"That's one of the trends we're seeing," adds Baydar. "People want the look of an old home on the outside, but inside they want lighter spaces with lots of windows, less trim, and clean lines." Per Jeff's request, interior trim and architectural details are restrained. "Jeff wanted clean lines, minimal trim, nothing fussy," Baydar says.
The open floor plan is centered on a spacious stair hall that flows to the great room, kitchen, and a loggia. French doors topped with transoms and gabled windows cut into the kitchen's vaulted ceiling fill the rooms with light. Antique ceiling beams and trim around some doorways ground the rooms, adding warmth and character. "These are very fluid spaces, and the house almost feels contemporary, but it is brought back to traditional with the natural beams, the wood trim, and, of course, the furnishings," Harrison says.
A pair of sculptural chaises and a chocolate brown sofa in the great room allow for comfortable television viewing without blocking the French doors.
"As you walk in the front door, you see right into the great room," says Dewberry. "We didn't want to block the views from those glass doors with sofas."
While the chaises were custom-made to fit Jeff's 6-foot-1-inch frame, "the kids have totally claimed them," Andee says. Fortunately, the designers covered them with a durable chenille basket-weave fabric. "This is a high-traffic room, so we made sure fabrics would perform." A center coffee table/ottoman wears easy-care Ultrasuede. "You can spill anything on it and wipe it off," Dewberry says.
A multiarm Italian chandelier hangs above the ottoman and balances the large room without dominating it. "We all fell in love with that chandelier," Huff remembers. "It's open and elegant and just what the room needed."
Activities spill from the great room into the showstopper kitchen, with a ceiling that soars to 24 feet. Counter bar stools and a charming scalloped high-back banquette in the family dining area allow for plenty of seating for daily meals and when the family entertains. "The square-to-round table is great when we have extra people," Andee says. "We can just open the leaves on the four sides and pull up a few more chairs."
Atlanta kitchen designer Beth Barfield maximized limited wall space for cabinets with a tall, pull-out pantry beside the range and countertop-level cabinets with flip-up doors for storing small appliances. Cabinets are painted a soft blue-gray, a palette repeated throughout the house; corner cabinets are fitted with leaded mercury-glass fronts. A scallop-topped marble backsplash on the sink wall, curvaceous candle-style sconces, and graceful chandeliers give the space a dressy feel without being overly formal. "We're definitely not over-the-top-type people," Andee says.
Proving that, the Blausers spend much of their time on the loggia off the kitchen. With soft seating, outdoor draperies, a fireplace, and a television, "the loggia is Jeff's favorite room," Andee reports. Friends often drop by with the greeting, "Is it loggia time?" she adds. "In the summer, we have the fans going, and when it's cool, we light the fire and close the outdoor curtains. It's really cozy." A home run, whatever the season.

SP5 Bruce A. Nelson was assigned to B Company, 588th Engineer Battalion that was in a Base Camp near Tay Ninh City. In early February 1968, Bravo Company was tasked to assist A Company in building a five-pointed star-shaped Special Forces Camp with air strip at Thien Ngon. The location is on QL 22 highway (trail in 1968) about 4 miles from the Cambodian border. Most of the outline of the Camp can still be seen on Google Earth.
On February 15th, Bravo's mission was to sweep the road between the river and the Camp. Then the dump trucks would start hauling soil to build the berms for the Camp. I took 1st platoon down to the river on the 14th and stayed overnight. Then at first light we started north sweeping the road for mines. The previous three days we had started from the Camp and swept south. To break up any potential pattern that the Communist might see and predict, we started from the river that day.
We were a little more than half way when I unexpectedly saw a sweep team coming south from the Camp. I tried to make radio contact but a load explosion occurred. The sweep team from the Camp was being escorted by a M 48 tank and several armored personnel carriers. They were in an ambush. I divided 1st Platoon into two sections, one on each side of the road, and attacked into the ambush. The VC were focused on the North team and when we came from the South, the VC retreated into the jungle, breaking the ambush.
The combat losses from our side were ten KIA of which B Company lost 4. They were 1LT James M Hill, SP5 Kenneth L Fulton, SP4 Rex Tutor, and SP5 Bruce A Nelson. The VC losses were 0. Many blood trails lead into the jungle and I personally saw two VC fall. The VC tied ropes to their ankles so when they were hit, someone could drag their body away.
There were many brave acts that day. All but one of the tank crew were killed. The remaining man operated the tank and fired the gun. He was awarded a silver star. SP5 Fulton was a medic and killed as he ran to down men. He was awarded a bronze star. Because of the combat action that the 588th Engineer Battalion was involved in from October 1967 to March 1968, the Valorous Unit Award was presented to the Battalion and every man in the 588th Battalion.
Thank you for your service, Bruce Nelson. And God Bless your Family.

Just a short walk down Cowper Street from Broadway and Glebe Pt Road, The Friend in Hand looks from the outside like many other Art-Deco era pubs … is hard to find but worth the effort! Step inside, though, and what you're confronted with is something completely other… "More a Museum, than a pub"!
Knick-Knacks and memorabilia cram every available space through the front bar, from surf-skis to model aeroplanes and signs clearly lifted from medical establishments, photographs, oil paintings and oddments fill the entire bar.
In the corner is a bird (not a 2 legged one) … It's George the Sulphur crested Cockatoo who is the pubs PR Bird! George rules the roost at this backstreet Glebe pub. When George isn't waddling up and down the bar ruffling his feathers and cracking open lemon seeds or resting on the shoulders of the pub's regulars, he's got his own massive branch to perch on in the corner of the room.The Friend in Hand is the original Sydney bar – there are more taxidermied animal heads, old street signs and countless other bits of weirdness than you can point a stick at.
And best of all, the beers aren't $9 apiece. They keep their lines in pristine nick here, so expect crisp-and-cold schooners of Reschs, Coopers, Young Henrys, Old and Fat Yak. There's Bulmer's on tap too for all you cider lovers out there.
The Friend has all the usual pub trappings you'd expect from an early opener including Keno and a TAB and pool tables, but they also host a bunch of events you're unlikely to find in other Sydney pubs.
What more could you want?
The friend in hand has many function options available, from work functions to 21st, Bucks and Hens nights we can cover it all. There are various rooms available for any sized function and the catering options are top notch. We have pool tables in the upstairs bar and an area for Dj's to set up all their gear.

A Flaming Cosmopolitan at the Egerton Hotel.
There are hotels. And then there are hotels. Places so imaginative, so extraordinary and so unusual that they stand out as experiences in their own right. The Egerton Hotel in Knightsbridge, London, is one of those hotels.
The Egerton: A Boutique & Luxury Hotel in London
First things first: the reception staff are knowledgeable, friendly and seem pleased to see you. This may seem a strange place to start. After all, I could have mentioned the original art from Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, the Egyptian cotton sheets, the personal bartender service, the close proximity to Harrods or any one of the many features of this five star luxury hotel that make staying here a pleasure. No, I mention the service because: a) it baffles me why so many in the hospitality industry don't seem to think that it's important and b) the Egerton excelled at it. By the end of a brief chat with the staff at the desk, I had personal recommendations for my next destination (Istanbul, no less) plus an airport-security-approved bottle of water to take with me onto the flight. In my room, in addition to the usual luxurious touches, I found a pillow for the bath and multivitamins for the frazzled traveller. And by the time I reached the Egerton, after delayed flights, reroutes and sprinting around London with a suitcase, I was a frazzled traveller.
The More Traditional Egerton Hotel Review
Twenty-eight rooms and top floor suites manage to fit into this charming townhouse, with each room wearing a different version of fine fabrics and Italian antiques. Rooms are cosy rather than spacious but come with all the mod-cons: wifi, widescreen TV and air conditioning (should you ever need it in the UK.) Breakfast is also an intimate affair, served in the basement and combining a freshly-prepared à la carte menu with a cold platter buffet.
The bar at the Egerton Hotel is one of its star attractions because it houses its star attractions: its bartenders. Antonio is the name on everyone's lips but he was away on the day I was in town. Instead, I had the great pleasure of meeting Esley Gunaratne, character and bartender extraordinaire. It is no mean feat to eke both a conversation and a smile out of me after a day spent schlepping around London and failing to win an industry award ;) So, to you, Esley - and to all the staff I met at the Egerton - thank you for a wonderful stay and I wish you all the best for the New Year ahead.
The Egerton Hotel, London
Who it's for: able-bodied adults in search of luxury in the centre of London. Who it's not for: large families with young children or anyone searching for a faceless international chain.
Disclosure: I received a night's accommodation at the Egerton Hotel on a complimentary basis but was free to write whatever I truly thought about the place. Otherwise reviews are rather pointless. And for any cynics out there who may think I always write glowing reviews, check out the review section and disabuse yourself of that notion!
The Egerton Hotel is a Red Carnation Hotel, read more about them on the Red Carnation Blog.

Dzeko expects long fight for title
Edin Dzeko has insisted Manchester City will take nothing for granted as they attempt to defend their Barclays Premier League title.
The reigning champions launched their defence with a hard-fought 2-0 victory at Newcastle on Sunday with an efficient, rather than dazzling display.
Title rivals Liverpool and Arsenal both enjoyed even narrower successes in their opening fixtures, and Dzeko knows there is no room for complacency during a campaign he expects to be as competitive as ever.
The 28-year-old frontman told CityTV: "It's just the beginning of the season and it will be, definitely, a long season with the five teams fighting for the title. This is just the beginning.
"It's good to start with a win, but we are not there. There are so many games to come and we have to prepare for the next one, for the big game against Liverpool to try to win at home.
"We have brought in some great new players. Some of them still need time because it was the World Cup and a lot of us came later to the pre-season.
"I think we can still improve a lot. Each game, we can be better and better and just try to continue where we finished [at Newcastle]."
Dzeko was a key figure in the win at St James' Park despite not finding his own way on to the scoresheet.
It was his clever back-heel after he had drawn central defenders Fabricio Coloccini and Mike Williamson to the ball which allowed David Silva to fire City into the lead against the Magpies, just as he had done 12 months earlier.
But if Silva's 38th-minute intervention gave the visitors the advantage, it was one they were unable to push home until substitute Sergio Aguero beat Tim Krul at the second attempt in stoppage time at the end of the game.
Dzeko said: "We played very well. From the first minute, we were there like the manager wanted us to be, from the first minute to try to press them high, to try to score a goal.
"We didn't score an early goal, but it was the perfect time, five minutes before half-time, and I think we controlled the game during the 90 minutes, were definitely the better side and deserved this win."
Dzeko's impressive individual display came amid reports that he is close to signing a new contract at the Etihad Stadium, but it was collective, rather than individual plaudits which were of greater interest to the Bosnia-Herzegovina international.
He said: "I am very happy because of my performance and the performance of the team because I think we were brilliant.
"It's always good to start the season with a win, especially away at Newcastle where it is always tough to go."
Dzeko's mood was in sharp contrast to that of Newcastle debutant Jack Colback as he and his team-mates emerged from a tight encounter with nothing to show for their efforts.
Manager Alan Pardew was quick to take positives from a spirited display in the immediate aftermath, and urged his players to take them into Saturday's trip to Aston Villa.
Colback told nufcTV: "We are disappointed with the result. You get nothing for good performances, but defeats.
"We are not going to come up against the quality that City have every week and we are going to get more chances against the teams who aren't the so-called better teams, so we have got to take the positives out of Sunday and look to go there and get some points."
Tyneside-born Colback fulfilled a dream when he made his league debut for the club he supported as a boy after spending the whole of his career until the end of last season with arch-rivals Sunderland.
The 24-year-old said: "It was bittersweet, really, coming off with a defeat. It would have been fantastic to have come away with at least a point.
"But it was great to finally have that moment and get it under the belt."

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. We have the well-known Maurer-Cartan left-invariant and right-invariant $1$-forms $\theta$ and $\bar\theta$ in $\Omega^1(G, \mathfrak{g})$, probably discussed in every Lie theory lectures.
However the canonical bi-invariant closed $3$-form $\chi = \frac{1}{12} (\theta, [\theta, \theta]) = \frac{1}{12} (\bar\theta, [\bar\theta, \bar\theta])$ in $\Omega^3(G)$ may be a little bit less-known. And when I heard of it I had some questions in mind...
1) Are there canonical invariant $5$-forms and higher invariant forms on a $G$?
2) How are they related to Lie algebra cohomology and equivariant cohomology?
3) The construction looks a little bit like $tr(A \wedge dA)$, if we regard $\theta$ as a connection $A$ on the frame bundle of $G$, and use the Maurer-Cartan equation $d\theta = -\frac{1}{2}[\theta, \theta]$.
Now there is another famous $3$-form: the Chern-Simons form $tr(A \wedge dA + \frac{2}{3} A \wedge A \wedge A)$, and I wonder if these two are somehow related. Does the $tr(A \wedge A \wedge A)$ part vanish here, due to Jacobi identity?
(and, note there are Chern-Simons 5-forms etc.)
Thank you very much.

It's been a while since Mom's had me do a guest blog but today seemed the right day for it since it's my one year anniversary. So, greetings all!
It's been an eventful year for me.
I've gone to a lot of classes: Puppy Class (Mom said I was "the Star"), Beginning Obedience (the teacher told Mom I was "a catch"!), Intermediate Obedience (Mom said I passed only because the teacher graded on the curve – just because I thought it was more fun to socialize than stay in heel position – Jeez!), and now I am in Agility. Agility is a lot of fun: I get to run through tunnels, climb ramps, and jump over fences. I'm not real hot on the teeter but Mom tells me I'm going to be a champ at it in no time, so we'll see.
I've been to see the Vet a bunch over the last year though I really don't want to talk about what happened one of those times.
I did some work re-landscaping the backyard which Mom and Dad don't appreciate as much as they should. They are hiring someone to come in and do it all over again!
Mostly though I just hang out with Mom and Dad and that's fine. We go for a walk every morning – though Mom is usually lagging a bit behind!
I wait up for her though.
I get to meet lots of other dogs. They aren't always as happy to see me as I am to see them. Mom tells me that when a dog is lunging at the end of his owner's leash and is snarling and barking at me, it means he doesn't really want to play with me. But playing is so much fun, why wouldn't he? I just don't get it.
Mom tells me it's important to be polite, so whenever someone else is on the trail she steps off to the side and I know to go and sit right by her side until they pass. I like that she is always teaching me new commands but sometimes it is a bit confusing. Right now she's teaching me to move from one side to another and back again. That can be confusing but Mom says I'm doing just fine and we'll just keep practicing till I get it. (Practicing means lots of treats so, you know, that's a good thing).
We don't really disagree about much. Still, I think that if someone bends over to say hello to me they want me to jump up and say hi. That way they don't have to bend over, right? Mom doesn't think so. I have tried to convince her that sometimes we can just agree to disagree, but she hasn't come around yet. She still thinks everything has to be her way. Of course, doing things her way usually means that I get more treats and praise and lots of pets. So mostly I listen.
Once we get home from our walk, I am ready for a rest!
(Mom calls me the anti-Aussie because I am so mellow.)
I could say more but I guess the big thing is that Mom and Dad say they are really lucky they chose me, and I feel lucky they chose me, too.
And now Dad is waving a night time biscuit at me and that means it's bed time. I need to rest because Mom needs me to take her for that walk first thing in the morning. (Usually she's pretty good about getting up but it's my job to make sure. If she doesn't get up in time, I jump up on the bed and look at her until she gets the message. Don't tell her I said this, but I've done a fair amount of people training this last year. Mom may grumble but in the face of the look, she listens every single time!)
So, that's it. It's been a good year. Mom and Dad say that every day I make them smile. Mom says that not everyone is a dog person. (Really?) She says that people who are though are very lucky because being loved by a dog is special. So, that's my job. One year and counting.

I really dislike regular expressions, each time I come back to it I seem to have to relearn it. It's also incredibly hard to maintain, modify and at a glance understand what it is doing.
Has anyone ever tried writing another layer on top of it that turns more semantic 'sql like' statements into regex? I imagine it working along the lines of:
AnotherString = "coffee hello beep 15"
FindString.StartsWith string longer than 5
FindString.Contains "beep" after "hello"
FindString.EndsWidth int < 20
FindString.DoesntContain "no!!" and DoesntContain "what!"
Foreach FindString match in AnotherString
This is probably not the greatest example ever, but the idea is that the pattern is built with some sort of semantic meaningful language that can break down into traditional regular expressions. The above would be a lot easier for a developer to modify. I sort of invision it being like SQL/Linq to some degree.
It would make regex a lot more semantic and maintainable. Has this been tried before, and is it a bad/good idea to try this? Could it work?
Perhaps this is a better example (I know URL's are notoriously difficult to parse and this is over simplified):
string UserInputtedURL = "http://www.google.com/page.html?ID=5"
Protocols = {"http", "https"};
Domains = {"com", "net", "org"}
Rule.CaseSensitive = false;
Rule starts with Protocols OR starts with "www";
Rule followedby string endson "."
Rule followedby Domains
Rule if stringend or endswidth " " end else continuewith Ruleset2
RuleSet2.startswith "/"
// URL is valid!

In only his second Sprint Cup ever, 20-year-old Trevor Bayne was crowned king of the racetrack at the Daytona 500.
He beat out Carl Edwards by a mere 0.118 seconds, becoming the youngest ever Daytona 500 winner. And all just a day after his 20th birthday.
Bayne, whose official web site says "Coming Soon," never even allowed himself to daydream about such a magical finish.
U.S. & World
"Our first 500, are you kidding me?" said Bayne, who needed directions to Victory Lane. "Wow. This is unbelievable."
Bayne was pushed by Bobby Labonte and had just enough fuel to get across the line ahead of a hard-charging Edwards. David Gilliland was third and Labonte settled for fourth.
The Wood Brothers are one of NASCAR's original teams, and their last win was at Bristol 2001 with Elliott Sadler.
Bayne was driving a David Pearson throwback paint scheme. Pearson goes into the Hall this year.

Recently I have bought a Naish Mutant. It's great, but I still have one problem to solve.
In higher winds, on choppy water I slide out from the front footstrap (using 2 footstrap setup). How shall I set it up, so this does not happen. I guess it should be set as narrow as possible. Concerning the height of the straps some people recommended I should adjust it so I can push my feet all through as much as possible. Others said I should set the height small and only push in a smaller part my foot, 'holding' the strap with the fingers.
Others again said I should try the 3 footstrap setup. Can I still ride switch with the 3 footstrap setup?
Do you have any recommendation?
