Brick Wall Solutions - The Search for Helen Carnegie Continues
In my Brick Walls blog on 28 November 2009, I first wrote about my search for my gg grandmother Helen Carnegie. We left the story with my believing that Helen was an alcoholic prostitute who had probably died in an asylum. I had finally found a reference to her death under the name of Helen Chick and I was eagerly waiting to receive the death certificate.
Due to my mother's illness I had to go to Brisbane in early December so it was not until my return to Melbourne in early January that I finally got to see the certificate which had arrived while I was away. I first looked to see where she had died and was surprised to see the Brisbane Hospital and not an asylum. I wasn't too surprised to see that her sister Clara Bishop was the informant but did wonder why it wasn't her son James. Helen was buried in Toowong cemetery so she wasn't with her son who was buried in Bulimba cemetery.
The next bit of information I looked for on the certificate was had she married again and yes to Charles Wademore Chick at the age of 64 years. Why had she married so late? I already knew that she was using the Chick name as an alias in 1904 when she was 42 years old, why had she waited so long to marry him? I then remembered her husband Alexander Miller Ferguson did not die until 1925 so she must have been aware that he was still alive. She married Charles in 1927 but I can't help wondering why not closer to Alex's death? Perhaps they weren't aware of his death until then.
I then looked to see if there were any other children, even if Charles and Helen weren't married but there were no children listed, not even her son James who had been born in 1880. That was odd because her sister Clara, the informant, knew about James.
The cause of death was also a puzzle – cerebral thrombosis and secondary cancer of the liver possibly from the stomach at the age of 84 years. This was strange – how could someone who was classed as an alcoholic in the early 1900s live for another 40+ years before dying of a stroke and cancer? As a prostitute how did she avoid sexual diseases? How could she have lived that long? Did she 'go straight' after she met Chick? Did he look after her? Who was he? So many questions and the certificate was not going to tell me the answers.
I felt incredibly let down by the death certificate because what I had imagined for so many years was just so different from the reality. After thinking about it, it is nice to know that she perhaps didn't have quite the hard life that I had always imagined.
There were many avenues to follow up and I quickly established by a search of World Vital Records Australasia that there was no tombstone for her in Toowong cemetery. A similar quick search of the Brisbane City Council's Gravefinder established that she was buried alone. There were also no entries for Charles Wademore Chick either. So where did he die?
I then searched the Queensland BDMs online for a death record for him but came up blank. Surely he hadn't lived that long or had he been much younger than her? I couldn't find a birth record for him either so that means a search of interstate records or shipping – why couldn't it be simple?
Back to World Vital Records Australasia and a search of electoral rolls listed them in 1910, 1913, 1915 and 1922 in Sapphire, near Anakie although sometimes Charles' middle name was given as William or Wadmore and not Wademore. He was a miner and Helen was either a laundress or domestic duties.
I am going to have to purchase the marriage certificate for some more clues. Another wait but at least I am on the trail now.
Chick was an unusual name so I thought a Google search was in order. Nothing was really coming up and I was starting to feel that it was there but I just wasn't doing the right searches. I then went into Rootsweb because sometimes I have successfully found references in the mailing list archives.
Charles Chick came up in 17 of 46 databases, with most of the references American. However there were multiple references to World Connect which I remembered was a website people could submit their family trees to. My partner's relatives have put all of his family in there so I decided to have a look and entered Charles Wademore Chick.
No hits so I went back to Charles Chick and entered Helen Carnegie. Up they both popped and I was simply flabbergasted and I don't usually use that expression but I was simply floored. It doesn't come up under a Google search and I would never have found it without going in to World Connect. I wrote about this discovery in my SHHE Genie Rambles blog 'Is My Family Already on the Internet?' on 8 Jan 2010.
Charles Chick had died in Sydney in 1929, just two years after he and Helen had finally married. Had she been in Sydney with him and then returned to Queensland? Had they split up after waiting so long to get married? Where had she been all those years – I need to go back to electoral rolls for both NSW and QLD.
I need to get Charles' death certificate as well for any further clues.
Then as my mind was spinning in so many directions, it occurred to me that someone had entered this family into World Connect. A click on the link gave me an email address which I promptly responded to with fingers crossed. The person responded equally quickly and said they were related to the Chick family not mine, but had noted the information as they found it. My new contact remembered that Charles was a miner and that he and Helen had been at Lightning Ridge in NSW at one time.They weren't currently at home and wouldn't be back till March but were happy to share information then. They couldn't remember all the details without looking them up. Roll on March.
In the meantime I will go back to the start and do basic research, get marriage and death certificates, check electoral rolls and directories, look for probate files and so on.
While I finally know when my gg grandmother died, I don't know about the last 40 years of her life, years that I never thought she would have had, given the life she had led prior to meeting Charles Chick, who was obviously her saviour.
As I thought about those missing years, I started to do the maths – my father was 12 years old when she died, my grandmother 35 years old, my grandfather, Helen's son James died in 1954, just eight years after Helen – why didn't my father and grandmother have any knowledge of her? My father was never interested in the family history and my grandmother always said she didn't know any of her father's family. Even after I told her James was illegitimate and Helen had spent time in gaol, she still said she didn't know anything.
While James Carnegie listed his grandparents as his parents on his wedding certificate, his wife Mary listed Helen Carnegie as his mother on his death certificate. So Mary knew the truth, but did James? Helen's sister Clara certainly knew the truth so why didn't she list James on Helen's death certificate? Clara was also the informant on her parents' death certificates and James was not listed as a son. What role did James have in the family? How much interaction was there between them all?
Stay tuned for an update in April when I hope to finally demystify this brick wall.
Brick Wall Tips
- Search surname possibilities. Was there another marriage – especially after a husband/wife dies.
- Check other States – people moved around especially if they were miners
- Buy BDM certificates because different or conflicting information on each might just be the clue you need
- Be flexible with spellings and even names - Charles middle name is either Wademore, Wadmore or William and I have listed the variations for Helen in earlier blogs
- Check all available family databases online – even though the information is submitted by individuals and may not be totally correct, the information can still provide clues for you to confirm
- Try and get living relatives to tell you as much as they can, although if they are trying to hide a family secret this can be difficult
- Persevere and keep revisiting the research as more records become accessible and online
- Tell others how you did it – inspiration and clues for researching their own brick walls

Editor's Note: The following is an excerpt from an article in the Goshen News assessing the growing number of jobs in Indiana's Elkhart County and the search by businesses to fill the positions. To read the entire story click here.
Elkhart County manufacturers have hundreds of job openings. Now they need the workers to fill them.
As the economy continues to inch upward and consumer spending rises, demand for products of all kinds is spurring a need for more workers.
"We have positions that have opened up. We need commercial sewing operators and we need people to do assembly and upholstering," said Steve Yoder, vice president for human resources at Wieland Designs in Goshen.
The company manufactures seat covers for the airline, automobile and furniture industries.
To attract workers to the plant, Wieland partnered with the worker recruiting company Specialty Staffing Solutions to hold a job fair Saturday (June 23) morning.
"Right now we could use 10 to 15 sewing operators and seven to eight assembly and upholstery people," Yoder said Friday before the fair.
For those workers who have some sewing training and possess a desire to learn, it takes the Wieland staff six to 10 months of training to get the new hire's skill level up to an acceptable level, according to Yoder.
"When you are making a high-end seat cover for a high-end Ford Mustang Cobra, there is very little room for error," he said.
Wieland's situation typifies many area manufacturers, which is reminiscent of the good times before the recession took hold.
In June 2007 the nation's economy was steaming full-speed ahead. As consumers grabbed up luxury goods of all kinds, the dominant recreational vehicle industry in Elkhart County had trouble finding enough workers to build its products. During the heyday of June 2007 the county's employment grew to 132,200 people. Many of those were driving into the county from southern Michigan and surrounding Indiana counties.
The recession hit the RV industry hard and jobs and companies disappeared quickly. In January of this year the county's employed workers numbered 107,700, which was actually a 4.6% boost over January 2010. But as the national economy continued its agonizingly slow growth, Elkhart County had a spurt of job creation.
There were 9,900 jobs added in the county from January to May, according to Indiana Workforce Development statistics.
Dorinda Heiden-Guss, president of the Elkhart County Economic Development Corp., said her agency is working to lure manufacturers to the county and retain those already here.
She said the EDC in 2011 recorded more than 1,800 new jobs being announced through the agency and more than $115 million in new investment in the county's companies.

Considering recent developments, any time a Dodgers starting pitcher can leave the game under his own power, it's a good day.
Sunday was better than most for Randy Wolf. He took a one-hit shutout into the eighth inning, slugged one of three Dodgers homers plus an RBI double and led a 9-3 bounce-back victory over the D-backs after Saturday night's double misfortune, when the Dodgers lost an apparent win, and nearly lost starter Hiroki Kuroda, too.
"Wolf gave us the lift we needed after last night's game and we came off the trip on a good note," manager Joe Torre said, as the Dodgers snapped a three-game losing streak, finished the trip 3-3 and return home with a five-game lead in the National League West. "He did it all. What can I say?"
The emotional and physical blows suffered on Saturday night seemed to have no carryover effect on the Dodgers, who scored as many runs three batters into the game as they did the entire previous night.
Andre Ethier followed Matt Kemp's leadoff double and Orlando Hudson's single with his 24th home run off Yusmeiro Petit, who came into the game with a 5.87 ERA. Ethier had four hits, including an RBI double in the eighth.
Wolf knew what to do with the lead -- extend it. He did it himself, lining a two-run homer in the fourth inning, the fifth of his career. He tied career highs with three hits and three RBIs.
After Kemp's infield single, Hudson homered against his former teammates for a 7-0 lead through four innings.
On the mound, Wolf wasn't hesitant in the wake of the line drive Kuroda took off his head. Wolf struck out a season-high 10 (without a walk), five in a row at one point, and retired 20 consecutive batters between Ryan Roberts' first-inning single and Rusty Ryal's homer leading off the eighth.
"I definitely thought about what happened last night -- every pitcher thinks about it -- but you can't worry about it or change your approach," he said. "I thought about it, but I put it away."
Wolf is now 8-3 lifetime against Arizona and he has nine quality starts in his past 10 outings. He said he's happiest with the most recent three.
"I've been a lot more aggressive, pitching inside more with my fastball," he said. "I've had good success doing that and I'll stick with that. The last few days have been kind of rough for us. But we have a good team that's able to bounce back very fast and you need that. It's easy to focus on negative things and not move on, but we are good at moving on."
Despite the uncertainty of his starting pitchers for Monday (Charlie Haeger's first as a Dodger), Tuesday (Chad Billingsley returning from a hamstring) and Thursday (Kuroda is doubtful), Torre said he did not consider yanking Wolf early with a large lead and a low pitch count to bring him back on short rest in place of Kuroda on Thursday.
"We needed to use as few people as possible today," Torre said after making eight pitching changes in the first two games. "Give a starter a three-run lead and it keeps him from trying to be too perfect. That wears out a pitcher more than anything else. Randy was having an easy time and not expending energy. His pitch count was insignificant until the eighth inning."
That's when, as Wolf said, "all hell broke loose." It began with a home run off the bat of Ryal, who knocked Kuroda out of the game on Saturday. Wolf couldn't get out of the eighth inning and was charged with three runs in 7 2/3 innings, but the Dodgers' lead was insurmountable. Guillermo Mota got the last four outs.
"We got beat up pretty good today," said Arizona manager A.J. Hinch. "They came out swinging the bats early very well. Wolf was very tough early and even into late in the game until we got him for a few runs there at the end when we were down by nine. There's not a lot to say about this game, they just came out and beat us."
Ethier has career and team highs in home runs (24) and RBIs (80) and his average up to .281, a three-month high.

Use in older adults:
Studies have shown that older adults with dementia (a brain disorder that affects the ability to remember, think clearly, communicate, and perform daily activities and that may cause changes in mood and personality) who take antipsychotics (medications for mental illness) such as asenapine have an increased risk of death during treatment.
Asenapine is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of behavioral problems in older adults with dementia. Talk to the doctor who prescribed this medication if you, a family member, or someone you care for has dementia and is taking asenapine. For more information visit the FDA website: Web Site.
Talk to your doctor about the risk(s) of taking asenapine.
Asenapine is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia (a mental illness that causes disturbed or unusual thinking, loss of interest in life, and strong or inappropriate emotions). Asenapine is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat or prevent episodes of mania (frenzied, abnormally excited mood) or mixed mania (frenzied, abnormally excited mood and symptoms of depression) in people with bipolar I disorder (manic depressive disorder; a disease that causes episodes of mania, episodes of depression and other abnormal moods). Asenapine is in a class of medications called atypical antipsychotics. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the brain.
Asenapine comes as a sublingual tablet to dissolve under the tongue. It is usually taken twice a day. Take asenapine at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take asenapine exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Do not remove asenapine sublingual tablets from the package until just before you are ready to take them, and be sure that your hands are dry when you handle the tablets. When you are ready to take a tablet, follow the package directions to remove the tablet from the case without pushing the tablet through the tablet pack or breaking the tablet. After you remove the tablet, place it under your tongue and wait for it to dissolve. Do not swallow, split, chew, or crush the tablet. Do not eat or drink anything for 10 minutes after the tablet dissolves.
If you are taking asenapine to treat bipolar disorder, your doctor may decrease your dose if you experience side effects. Tell your doctor how you are feeling during your treatment with asenapine.
Asenapine may help to control your symptoms but will not cure your condition. Continue to take asenapine even if you feel well. Do not stop taking asenapine without talking to your doctor.
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Before taking asenapine,
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Asenapine may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, or those listed in the SPECIAL PRECAUTION section, call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical treatment:
Asenapine may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at Web Site] or by phone [1-800-332-1088].
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include the following:
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your weight should be checked regularly while you are receiving this medication.
Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

For us humans, especially in urban settings, the seasons come and go with regularity and cause relatively painless changes in our lives — longer days, shorter days, setting clocks forward or backward as we just did. But for most other animal species seasonal changes do not go unnoticed. Further, when climate change impacts patterns of seasonal change, animals can be affected.
For example, pregnant caribou depend on particular plants to nourish them while they nurse their calves. The spring calving season is short and the window for peak plant nourishment coincides with that short season. However, these plants are emerging or germinating earlier in the season, in response to warmer temperatures, reaching their peak before calving occurs. Thus, nursing caribou are receiving less nourishment, calves are suffering, and mortality rates are increasing, as reported by ScienceDaily. Researchers believe this is just one example of the impact of climate change that will be documented repeatedly in the near future
Caribou are cued to move to new grazing patches by increasing day length. The plants, however, are cued to emerge or germinate by increasing temperature. This causes a "trophic-mismatch." If the trend continues, caribou will not survive unless they can find a substitute for their nourishment needs. This may be possible in one of two ways. One is an additional plant species, useful to caribou, becomes established in the ecosystem made possible by the longer growing season. The second way caribou could thrive is if the caribou alter their migration patterns to better align calving with plants at their peak nutrition. Doing so would be a case of the caribou population shifting its range.
According to a second ScienceDaily article, "One of the main predicted effects of climate change is a forced shift in species' distribution range." This comment was made in reference to a plankton scientists have decided was able to change its range to further north in the Atlantic after the last warming trend in climate 18,000 years ago. They attribute this ability to a lot of genetic variability within the species and large populations. This, they say, is good news since it indicates the species can react and adapt appropriately in order to survive and avoid extinction. It is also a cause for optimism since plankton is the base of the food chain.
Conversely then, small, less variable populations are at risk of not adapting to and surviving climate change. What if anything can or should be done?
How to Turn This News Event into an Inquiry-Based, Standards-Related Science Lesson
The National Science Education Standards in life science states students should gain understanding in (1) structure and function in living systems, (2) regulation and behavior, and (3) diversity and adaptations of organisms. Climate change affords opportunities to touch on those areas as well as topics in Science and Society, and Earth Science concepts in climate.
Ask students what caribou are, where they live and how they behave. Or direct students to do their own research. This Natureworks site provides a succinct reference for students. Most will probably know caribou migrate and live in Alaska, but students may not know they also live in Greenland. Many will say caribou are reindeer. Though they are related, they are different. Reindeer are domesticated and live in northern Asia actually.
Students may know caribou migrate, but they may not be fully aware of the adaptations the caribou have, enabling the thousands of miles of migration accomplished each year. Ask students what cues caribou to migrate north in the spring: increasing day length or increasing temperatures? Since temperatures vary, it is adaptive perhaps that caribou respond instead to increasing day length, which is rather constant in its annual pattern.
Now focus on the plants of the tundra. What signals plants it's time to emerge? Warming temperatures rather than light. After all, an underground root system or a buried seed cannot sense light. To track average temperatures from 1995-2003, students can access Excel files of the data from the Arctic Long Term Ecological Site. In pairs or groups of three, students can find tundra temperature data for a specific year and then share. They can have the program calculate the average temperature each year for the month of June or the first week in June. Graph the data points. What is the pattern?
Tundra plants are low to the ground and small. Caribou have to do a lot of grazing to meet their needs. Turn student attention to the calving and nursing period. Calves nurse for about one month. Nursing caribou need lots of nutrition during that period. What if calves were born one week after plants had reached their maximum? How might this impact the herd over time? Remind students of the two different cues plant and caribou respond to: light and temperature. How might the plant diversity be impacted by a warming trend?
Share the plankton story with students. In sum, two things can happen in response to climate change: adapt or go extinct. Life on the planet survived the last warming trend; thus it may survive this one too. However, human contributions to this warming trend were not present 18,000 years ago. It remains to be seen what difference that makes.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
Mrs Cresswell was the wife of Dirk Cresswell. She and Dirk had at least two sons together.
In 1997, Dirk, as a Muggle-born wizard, arranged to have his family tree falsified to avoid persecution by the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. Unfortunately, Albert Runcorn uncovered the plan, and Dirk was arrested. Arthur Weasley confronted Runcorn (who, at the time, was actually Harry Potter under Polyjuice Potion), suggesting that, if Dirk made it out of Azkaban alive, Runcorn would have to answer to Dirk's wife and their sons.
Dirk managed to escape before being imprisoned, but, after a few months on the run, he was caught and murdered by Snatchers, leaving Mrs Cresswell a widow.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Mentioned only)
Notes and references
- ↑ Mrs Cresswell wasn't imprisoned in Azkaban by the Muggle-Born Registration Commission in 1998, meaning that she isn't Muggle-Born. As well as this, their children are listed as half-Blood, meaning she must be a different blood status to her husband.

About as far away as you can get from the desert island of the opera's title, a community centre in South London was the recent venue for rehearsals of Joseph Haydn's L'isola disabitata. The baroque opera will be performed by four artists, including three former Jette Parker Young Artists, at the Hobart Baroque Festival in Tasmania, Australia this month.
L'isola disabitata tells the tale of two sisters - Costanza and Silvia - who are marooned on a desert island. When Costanza's husband Gernando and his friend Enrico arrive to find the two women, bitter recriminations ensue.
The trip to Australia will see a revival of the production that had its premiere in the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio Theatre in 2010.
Read soprano Madeleine Pierard's preview of the festival
Read interviews with Young Artists Susana Gaspar, Justina Gringyte, Jihoon Kim, and Pedro Riberio.

U.S. Democracy: Will the Last One Out Please Turn Off the Lights?
democracy n. 1.a. Government by the people.
(Webster's Third New International Dictionary)
Ever-lower voter turnout in U.S. elections is a perennial story. Now comes a study, reported in the Washington Post in February, that actually makes you wonder why voting rates are still so high. Analyzing a national survey, political scientists John Hibbing and Elizabeth Theiss-Morse confirmed that most Americans are not interested in the issues and don't want to get involved. Almost half thought that the country would benefit if "successful business people"-like Enron's Kenneth Lay, perhaps?-and/or "unelected experts" made the big decisions. We hate debate, especially when there's strong disagreement. We can't bear to see compromise at work and can't handle multiple issues at the same time. Democracy, basically, turns us off.
As baseball legend Casey Stengel said to one of his losing teams, "Can't anybody here play this game?"
We in the United States seem to have forgotten how, though we once knew. In 1858, for instance, thousands turned out in the hot summer sun to hear seven very long debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. But since then, human ingenuity (much of it American) has created television, shopping malls, and the Internet. Many of us in the United States long ago stopped consuming to live and began living to consume. The role of consumer has expanded with our waistlines, squeezing out the role of citizen. And as long as the promised-land machinery keeps working for most of us, we'll probably go on supersizing and leaving the governing to somebody-anybody-else.
Politics 101: Governments exist to juggle competing interests. Autocracies do it by naked force; only democracies can fully embody and honor the popular will. But if that will is not actively and systematically expressed, government responds to narrower interests. No matter what issues you care about, they can't be addressed legitimately unless everybody pays some attention and sticks in their oars. Absent this engagement, power concentrates at the top, leaders pursue momentous policies without clear, broad support, and abuses of civil rights occur that would not be tolerated by a citizenry less remote from politics.
Democracy cannot survive if we forget how it's supposed to work. The more we forget, the more we consent to our infantilization. If we need reminders, we can look to Kerala in India or Porto Alegre in Brazil, which enjoy thriving grassroots democracies. But we'd better be quick: once our democracy has been bought up, co-opted, and safely put behind glass, we'll be reduced to asking What's happening here? and Who is in charge? It won't be democracy, and it won't be us.

Glimmr Canvas Animation released
Glimmr Canvas Animation–previewed here, here, and here–has been released and is available for download at Google Code. (The extension can also be downloaded from the Inform site, though without the image assets needed to compile the examples.)
What is Glimmr Canvas Animation? Glimmr Canvas Animation sits on top of Glimmr Canvas-Based Drawing and allows for graphic elements of any type to be animated. GCA is built on the concept of the animation track. An animation track handles one kind of animation effect for one graphic element, but tracks are stackable, so it's possible build up quite complex animations. GCA allows for flipbook-style animation of sprites or background images, for dynamically scaling graphic elements, for (limited) fade-ins and fade-outs, and much more. All of these preset animation types can be invoked in just one or two lines of code, or tweaked and customized with as much additional logic as you like. GCA supports 15 different equations for the automated "easing/tweening" of animations to make them more natural or more interesting. The extension includes a robust debugging log, as well as a number example code demos (see screenshots in this post).
There have been a number of new features added to Glimmr Canvas Animation since it was first previewed. The most notable of these is the introduction of "virtual timers," which allows multiple concurrent animations to run at different speeds. The beta version of GCA required all animations to run at the same speed, so this should allow for more flexibility.
I hope you'll check out GCA!

Holli 6 months at home!
11:31 AM | Posted by paigereno | Edit Post
It is hard to believe that I have had Holli home for 6 months. It is so wonderful to have both of my girls back home with me. I am still grieving over my husband's death but having Holli here to concentrate on has really helped. Holli and I am both so much happier with her being here. Holli has nursing assistants come here twice a day to help with her care which gives me a break and enables me to go to the grocery, run errands or make appointments for myself. Holli is still getting botox injections every three months so we get to go on a "road trip" whenever she has an appointment. Even though she enjoys going in the transportation van to the doctor these trips tire her out. She gets a shower once a week, which she still does not like, and get up in her wheelchair for several hours 3-5 days a week, depending on when I have someone to help me get her back to bed. Everyday she wears her high top tennis shoes and right arm splint for 6 to 8 hours. She is being fitted for a splint for her right foot to help with her foot drop. Physical therapy comes twice a week and nurse once a week. It seems like we are always having company with everyone coming in and out. Today Holli was visited by her good friend, K T, from Oakland, Ca. It is always so great whenever Holli's friends come and see her. It makes her so happy to see her friends. I know Holli gets tired of just looking and being with me all the time!! I appreciate all the love and prayers that we are still receiving. We have come a long way on this journey but we still have a long way to go. I want to wish my 91 year old Dad Happy Farther's Day, love you Dad.

From MM's 3-6pm show on 105.9 the X this afternoon (not verbatim):
Word is that Michalek would consider waiving his limited NMC. It isn't that Michalek isn't happy here or does he want out. Mainly, he doesn't think he is being used in a manner that best suits his skill set; such as being coached to lay down on ice in defensive zone.
Sure, he hasn't met expectations, but I'm not a proponent of moving him. He has a unique skill set and I think he eventually becomes what we expected. Maybe part of it was the hip injury this year that he recently underwent surgery for. If anything, this is an indictment of HCDB'S system, which many LGPers have taken issue with as the root cause of the deterioration on defense over the past year.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Food Growers Cooperative Disciplined Employees Who Complained about Harassment, Federal Agency Charged
HARRISBURG, Pa. – A major farm growers' cooperative which owns the Musselman Company agreed to pay $300,000 to a class of women and furnish significant remedial relief to settle a federal harassment and retaliation lawsuit, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit against Knouse Foods, a class of female farmworkers was subjected to egregious sexual harassment by male coworkers at its processing plant in Gardners, Pa. The sexually hostile work environment included making lewd and unwanted sexual advances and sexually explicit remarks. The male coworkers also engaged in threatening behavior, such as using the forklift to chase women or blocking them with their bodies or a broom while they walked down the hall. In addition, the women were subjected to unlawful harassment and called derogatory names because of their Mexican national origin.
The EEOC further charged that Knouse Foods wrongfully disciplined or reassigned employees in reprisal for their complaints about the abusive treatment.
In addition to the $300,000 in monetary relief, the three-year consent decree includes injunctions against engaging in retaliation or harassment based on sex or national origin; mandatory anti-discrimination training of all employees at the Gardners facility; and supervisor accountability to ensure that work areas be in compliance with company policies against discrimination. Additionally, Knouse will be required to report periodically to the EEOC regarding the cooperative's investigation into and resolution of any complaints of alleged discrimination, harassment or retaliation, and must post a notice confirming Knouse's commitment to comply with Title VII.
The EEOC attempted to reach a voluntary settlement before filing suit in United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Civil Action No. 1:09-cv-01811-CCC.
"The EEOC has seen a troubling number of sexual harassment charges filed by farmworkers across the country," said Debra Lawrence, the regional attorney of the EEOC's Philadelphia District Office. "The Commission is committed to eliminating this egregious harassment of migrant and low-income workers."
Iris Santiago-Flores, the trial attorney responsible for handling the litigation, added, "We are pleased that Knouse worked with EEOC to resolve this case. In addition to the monetary compensation to the victims of the harassment and retaliation, the consent decree provides substantial injunctive and remedial relief intended to protect all employees at the processing plant from unlawful harassment and retaliation."
According to its web site, http://www.knousefoodservice.com, Knouse Foods operates seven processing plants in three states. Knouse Foods packs apple juice and applesauce in a variety of sizes and employs 150 individuals at its Gardners site.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

[Note: This week, I'm looking at the various components of Windows 8. On Monday, I wrote about the tensions Windows users will face in using this reimagined operating system. Today, I look at what makes the new Windows interface different. – DS]
Windows 8 features the most radically redesigned interface for a Microsoft operating system since Windows 95. In fact, it's even more of a departure, because at least Win95's desktop sought to retain many of the concepts and features found in Windows 3.1's Program Manager. With Windows 8's new interface, that's all blown apart.
The new interface, previously dubbed Metro until legal issues forced Microsoft to go with a more generic name, runs programs full screen by default. You can have two Metro-style apps at once on the screen, but one will be dominant, with the second one showing only about a third of its "face". There are no classic windows on this side of Windows 8.
When you first boot up Windows 8, you're brought to the Start Screen showing a collection of colored tiles, each of which represents a program. Some of have live information in them (Microsoft calls them Live Tiles), which can be remarkably useful. This screen replaces the Start menu, and it scrolls horizontally rather than vertically.
If you're using Windows 8 on a tablet or touch-enabled device, this will be your first "aha!" moment with the new OS. Scrolling the Start Screen's tiles to the left or right with a flick of your finger is natural, and the display feels organic and fluid. Tapping any of the tiles quickly launches the program it represents.
If you're using a mouse and keyboard, the process is a little more cumbersome – unless you have figured out some tricks.
Most Windows users are used to scrolling vertically and horizontally by using either the mouse wheel or scrollbars. There's a scrollbar at the bottom of the screen in the new Windows 8 interface, and you can use that. But if you've got a mouse with a wheel that allows for scrolling side to side (Microsoft's modern mice do this), you can use that. Or, even simpler: Just move your mouse to the far edge of the screen and keep going and the screen will scroll horizontally.
The edges and the corners of the new interface are used extensively in both touch and mouse-based systems. Move your cursor to the lower left-hand corner to show a thumbnail of the Start Screen, which you can then click to bring it up. This also works in the classic desktop Windows interface, and here it replaces the old Start button.
Another: Move your cursor to the upper left corner and you'll see a thumbnail of the last program you switched away from. Then move the cursor down along the left edge to show most of your recent programs. You can then click it to restore it to its full-screen glory. This is similar to the Alt-Tab key combination in older versions of Windows (and Alt-Tab still works, by the way).
If you're using a tablet, these items accessed by swiping or tapping, and touch makes things even more intuitive. For example, you can cycle through recent Metro-style apps by flicking from the left side of the screen, almost as though you're turning pages.
Microsoft has added a column of icons called Charms that appears on the right-hand side of the screen when you click the lower right corner or swipe from the right. There are five Charms:
• Search – Lets you search your computer for anything, from documents to programs to music. You can also search the Web from here.
• Share – This gives you access to your People hub, which consolidates social media and contacts. It also includes an icon for SkyDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service, as well as any social media applications you have installed.
• Start – Brings up the Start Screen. This is the primary way to access the Start Screen on a tablet.
• Devices – This gives you quick access to any devices on your system, similar to the old Device Manager or the Devices and Printers feature from Windows 7.
• Settings – Provides access to a subset of your computer's settings. For more advanced settings, you'll occasionally want to dive into the Control Panel on the classic desktop side.
One of the biggest gripes I have about the Windows 8 Start Screen is that managing applications can be annoying. Out of the box, many of the apps you might use regularly that come with Windows 8 aren't on the Start Screen – you'll be diving into the Search Charm to get to them until you pin them to the Start Screen.
You can organize your apps into clusters on the Start Screen, but it can be clunky to do, even with a tablet. If you have a lot of apps, this can be particularly irritating. I found myself giving up and relying mostly on search to get to the apps I wanted.
And the Start Screen makes some common actions more complicated. For example, on Windows 7 a shutdown is two mouse clicks – Start > Shut Down. On Windows 8, you bring up the Charms, then click Settings, then Power, then choose from Sleep, Shut Down or Restart. (You can argue that this is safer than Win7's single-shutdown button, which made it too easy to accidentally power down the machine.)
When working in the new interface, the best way to figure out what to do is to right-click, or tap-and-hold. This will bring up toolbars on the bottom and/or top of an app. The old Windows adage, "When in doubt, right-click!", still applies in Windows 8.
In general, I really like this new interface, particularly on a tablet. If you can stay on this side of the Windows 8 experience, it's a pleasant place to be. It's when you switch between the new and old worlds that things begin to break down.
More on that tomorrow.

– A few days ago we posted the new Kayfabe Commentaries trailer with WWE Hall of Famer Sunny where she talked about her relationship with WWE and how they were helping her with rehab:
WWE has released a statement to CagesideSeats.com and for the first time ever, they have publicly stated that they will no longer fund rehab for a former talent. Here is the statement from WWE:
"As part of the Former Talent Rehabilitation Program, WWE has sent Ms. Sytch to rehabilitation numerous times, with all costs covered by WWE. Unfortunately, Ms. Sytch has continued to make poor personal choices and is ultimately responsible for the consequences of these decisions. WWE has always provided rehabilitation at a certified treatment center; however, given Ms. Sytch's inability to change her lifestyle and successfully complete treatment, WWE will no longer fund her rehabilitation."

Columbus Day!
Many years ago, some guy somewhere decided that Columbus Day and Canadian Thanksgiving should be on the same day. Did this guy take into account that this might be terribly inconvenient for future cake blogs? Of course not. However, since we did Canadian Thanksgiving cakes last year, I figured we'd do Columbus Day cakes this year. After all, we don't want to offend our Colombian readers.
Right then.
Bring on the Columbus Day cakes!
[furiously flipping through 17,000 cakes]
[pursing lips]
[steepling fingers]
[sighing resignedly]
Right then.
Bring on the Canadian Thanksgiving cakes!
Okay, that's weird. This one looks a lot like poo.
Huh. So does this one.
I'm definitely seeing a trend here.
In fact, if I didn't know better...
And so, in conclusion: all turkey cakes look like poo.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada.
Also, in the words of the famous Canadian actor, Jeff Goldblum*:
"Heeeelp meeeee!" [bzzzt bzzzt]

Al-Qaida in border town pledges loyalty to rivals
BEIRUT (AP) — A group of fighters from al-Qaida's Syrian affiliate in a border town has defected and joined the rival Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the powerful jihadi faction currently leading a blitz offensive in Iraq, an activist group said Wednesday.
The move opens the way for the Islamic State, which formally broke with al-Qaida earlier this year, to take control of both sides of the Syria-Iraq border and a huge chunk of territory straddling the two countries.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said senior members of the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front based in the Syrian border town of Boukamal traveled to the Iraqi frontier town of Rabia Sunday, where they pledged loyalty to the Islamic State.

The two rebel factions have been engaged in deadly infighting across opposition-held territory in northern Syria for months. Thousands of people have been killed on both sides of the fight, which has undermined their larger goal of toppling President Bashar Assad.
Al-Qaeda's central leadership broke with the Islamic State of the Iraq and the Levant earlier this year, in part because of its brutality and refusal to heed calls to stem the infighting. Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri then reaffirmed that Nusra Front as al-Qaida's branch in Syria.
But the Islamic State has in recent days succeeded in grabbing vast swaths of territory along the Iraqi-Syrian border, including two border crossings. The group also controls much of of eastern Syria including large parts of Deir el-Zour province, where Boukamal is located. The town is controlled by increasingly besieged Nusra Front fighters and a host of other Islamic rebel groups with dwindling resources.
The loyalty pledge undertaken by Nusra Fighters may be an attempt at self-preservation, or it could herald more defections by Islamic extremist rebel groups.
The Observatory report, also published by some militant websites Wednesday, could not be independently confirmed and calls to Boukamal were not going through.
"This means that the Islamic State is now effectively in Boukamal," said Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the Britain-based group.
He said the move reflected the "growing strength of the Islamic State." He said there were expectations that the group would now enter Boukamal from the Iraqi side of the border at the Qaim crossing, effectively taking control of the huge border area between Syria and Iraq. Islamic State fighters seized the Iraqi town of Qaim and the border crossing by the same name over the weekend.
Despite the loyalty pledge, which appears to be confined to the specific circumstances of Boukamal, fighting between the Nusra Front and Islamic State fighters continued in other parts of Syria Wednesday, including around Nusra's stronghold of Shehil in Deir el-Zour province.
Meanwhile, Syrian government warplanes struck a series of targets in Syria's northern city of Raqqa, an Islamic State stronghold, killing at least 12 people, opposition activists said. The airstrikes on Raqqa appear to be part of an intensified Syrian government campaign against the militant faction.
Activists said the jets struck targets around the provincial capital of Raqqa, including a market and the headquarters of the Islamic State.
A Raqqa-based activist who goes by the name of Abu Noor said in an interview over Skype that 13 bodies of civilians have been identified. He said the death toll will likely rise due to a large number of wounded.
An array of Syrian rebel groups captured Raqqa in March 2013. The Islamic State eventually expelled the other factions and took full control of the city, which is the only provincial capital to fall out of government hands.
Also Wednesday, Syrian aircraft carried out a series of airstrikes in the eastern, oil-rich province of Deir el-Zour near the border with Iraq. Islamic state fighters have been battling rival rebel groups for months in the oil-rich province. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
In Deir el-Zour, at least two airstrikes struck Muhassan, a town along the Euphrates River near Iraq that has been daily pounded by warplanes since the Islamic State fighters captured it last week.
