I never knew her, as she died in 1932 - two and a half decades before I was born.
Mildred Carlton Williams was the daughter of Jacob Williams and Catharine C Mueller. (It was Catharine's family about whom I wrote on a Mystery Monday recently.)
She was a middle child, if that's what you call the fourth of eight kids.
Born on 30 Jul 1856 in Franklin Co., KY, she was the oldest daughter. Maybe that's why she "handled" so many family issues, beginning with her mother's death in 1876 in Kentucky.
That happens to oldest daughters. From what I know of Minnie (that's what they called her), she met all of her considerable challenges, and soldiered on...
Minnie was a bride of just over one year when her mother, Catharine (Mueller) Williams, died.
She had married Josiah Hazen Shinn on 7 Jan 1875, and had just marked her first wedding anniversary at the time of her mother's death on 14 Jan 1876. She was a new mother herself, having given birth to her first child four months earlier.
One of the thoughts that crossed my mind was that Minnie might have traded her light colored clothing in favor of mourning. There is a photo of Minnie with her husband and son, Roy, that was taken after 23 Oct 1885.
In that photo, Minnie appears to be wearing mourning colors.
As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure of it. Grace Electra Shinn, Josiah and Minnie's firstborn, is not in the photo.
That's because Grace died on 23 Oct 1885, in Russellville, Pope Co., AR, of malarial fever. At that time of year, mosquito season should have been over in that part of the state. Had Grace had malaria since summer?
I just can't imagine having to watch my child die.
Josiah and Minnie only had two biological children of whom I am aware.
But they raised a whole bunch more.
When Minnie's mother died, the newlywed couple took four of Minnie's siblings into their home. They were responsible for five children, aged from birth to 14.
The 1880 census shows the family living in Bridgeport, Franklin Co., KY. The household now included Minnie and Josiah's newborn son, Joseph Roy Longworth Shinn. (By 1882, the whole clan had relocated to Pope Co., AR.)
The same census shows Minnie's father, Jacob Williams, living with his brother, Urban Valentine Williams, who was a phyisican in Bridgeport. In addition to providing for his brother, Dr. Williams' sister, Millie was living with them. (Millie Williams never married. She is buried in the family plot in Frankfort Cemetery in Kentucky.)
I wondered about Jacob. Why had his children gone to live with his oldest daughter when his wife died?
Jacob Williams was only 54 years old when he became a widower. He was a blacksmith in Franklin County who fought in the Civil War.
Maybe he was ill. Perhaps blacksmithing wasn't fetching the income it previously had.
Or maybe he just couldn't raise the children after Catharine died.
I guess you could say Minnie's husband, Josiah Hazen Shinn, was a minor local celebrity of sorts.
A Google search on him brings up all sorts of results.
From The History of the Shinn Family, written by Josiah and published in 1903, this sketch, which presumably would be a self-portait of sorts (pages 252-254):
Josiah Hazen Shinn, eldest child of Josiah Carlock and Elizabeth Frances (Gilpin) Shinn, was born at Russellville, Ark., 3/29/1849; learned to read at his father's knee in his third year; to Louisville, Ky., in 1854; entered school there in his sixth year, being placed in the third grade; to Cincinnati in 1859; passed through the intermediate and high school grades of the schools of that city; graduated at the Ohio Normal School in 1869; admitted to the bar at Cincinnati 1872, but never practiced; he was examined for admission by Stanley Matthews, afterwards Associate Justice of the U. S. at Washington; Judge Hoadley, T. D. Lincoln and Henry Snow; taught school for eighteen years in Ohio, Kentucky and Arkansas; married, 1/7/1875, at Bridgeport, Franklin County, Ky., Mildred Carlton, daughter of Jacob and Catherine (Mueller) Williams.
Mr. Shinn moved to Arkansas in 1882; institute instructor for five years under W. E. Thompson; State Superintendent; President State Teachers' Association 1887; Chief Clerk in office of Secretary of State under Elias B. Moore and Ben. B. Chism 1885-1890; State Superintendent of Public Instruction 1890-1894; received the highest vote cast for any man on the state ticket; established the first State Normal Schools in Arkansas while in this office; organized the Southern Educational Association at Moorehead City, N. C., in 1891, and was elected its first President; re-elected at Chattanooga, Tenn, in 1892; Vice-President National Educational Association 1892; placed specially by the Legislature of Arkansas in charge of the Arkansas Educational Exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition 1893; appointed Judge in the Liberal Arts Department of the World's Fair by the U. S. Commission 1893; to the Russian Empire in 1894-1895, where he was presented to Emperer Nicholas I, at the Anitchkoff Palace.
Writer for the Little Rock Gazette and Democrat; editor and publisher for ten years of the Arkansas Teacher and Southern School Journal"; established the first Chautauquas in Arkansas at Springdale, Mammoth Spring and Fort Smith in 1898, 1899, 1900, 1901; lecturer 1896 and 1897 in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Missouri; President of Springdale College 1898-1901; was appointed to the Accounts Division, Indian Office, Department of Interior, Washington, D. C., 1901; to the Indian Warehouse, Chicago, Ill., 1902.
Mr. Shinn has published the following books and pamphlets: "The Public School and the College, 1891; "The South in Public Education," 1891; Vassar College, Pamphlet, 1891; "Illustrated Arkansas," 1892; "History of the American People," 1893; "History of Education in Arkansas," published by the U. S. Government, 1899; "Russia at the World's Fair," in English and Russian, 1894, This was republished by Russian governmental officials. "History of Arkansas," for schools, 1895; "Primary History of the United States," 1899; "History of the Russian Empire," for Libraries, in preparation. Registrar of the S. A. R. for Arkansas, 1892-3-4. Member of the American Institute, 1894; Honorary Member of the Pennsylvania and West Virginia Historical Societies, 1894; Member of the Imperial Russian Geographical and Historical Societies, 1894; Member of the Christian Church, a good speaker and a Democrat.
Minnie also got her due in the book, on page 254, at the end of the entry about Josiah. I was glad to see that, and it suggested to me that Josiah looked at her as a true partner.
Mildred Carlton Shinn, also a member of the Christian Church, was prominent in Church and social circles in Little Rock, and other parts of Arkansas; is a woman of strong convictions, and her influence has always been given to the suppression of liquor selling and other forms of vice; progressive in religious matters, she always favored advanced methods for the propagation of the Gospel at home and abroad; a member of the C. W. B. M. of her own church, and of the W. C. T. U. wherever she has resided; of the Society for the Rescue of Fallen Women at Little Rock; of the Co-Operative Club for the betterment of all classes, in which she took an active interest in Social Science and Economics. At the death of her mother, in 1876, she undertook to rear four of her brothers and sisters; Margaret Williams, now the wife of James W. Wells, Bentonville, Ark; Mattie Williams, for eight years clerk in the office of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Little Rock, Ark., and still so employed; Jo Desha Williams, now a successful merchant at Russellville, Ark., and Julian Otis Williams, now and for ten years past a compositor on the Little Rock Gazette and Democrat, Little Rock, Ark.
Through all this labor she found time for every good work of the neighborhood and exerted a good influence over the moral and intellectual status of every place in which she lived. Her own house was always in order, and she always found time to aid every good work with her preserce, her means and her whole soul. Two busier people have rarely ever been united as happily as these, and their silver wedding, 1/7/1900, was a milestone in their lives which showed them the appreciation others had for them. Four hundred silver presents from all parts of the United States made the event one never to be forgotten.
I'd like to have known the woman described in Josiah's book. I wondered if her effort to suppress "liquor selling" ever took her to a saloon? There were plenty of watering holes and stills in Arkansas.
But I've never found an old news article suggesting that she teamed up with Carrie Nation, so maybe she found other ways to express her "stong convictions."
Guess I'll find out on the other side...

Bryan Habana's spectacular try against New Zealand in the Rugby Championship has won him the International Rugby Players' Association's (IRPA) Try of the Year award.
Habana became the second Springbok to win the award after Jaque Fourie earned the honour in 2009 for his try in the second Test against the British & Irish Lions at Loftus Versfeld.
Habana's Dunedin score was also named as South Africa's try of the year to add to his winning of the title of SARU's player of the year for 2012.
Habana took his total of Springbok tries to 47 in 2012, before a knee injury cut short his season before the end of year tour.
Former team-mate Jaque Fourie, All Blacks centurion Mils Muliaina, former IRB Player of the Year Shane Williams and Japan's Daisuke Ohata, the leading try scorer in Test Rugby, formed the panel of judges who opted for Habana's effort ahead of the three other shortlisted tries scored by New Zealand duo Hosea Gear and Julian Savea and Frenchman Julien Malzieu.
Consideration was also given to votes cast by rugby fans from all around the world via the IRB's interactive platforms.
Habana, the IRB Player of the Year in 2007, stunned the All Blacks when he ran onto a pass at full speed, chipped ahead and gathered to score a try that briefly handed the Springboks the lead seven minutes into the second half of the contest in Dunedin. New Zealand went on to win 21-11.
"Scoring a try against the All Blacks is always special, but scoring against them in New Zealand, is even more special," said Habana.
"I really enjoyed getting across the try-line in Dunedin - contributing to the success of the team and also lifting the spirits of my teammates.
"Winning this Award is very special and hopefully I can continue scoring tries for the Springboks for a very long time."
Previous winners:
2011 - Radike Samo (Australia) - Australia v New Zealand
2010 - Chris Ashton (England) - England v Australia
2009 - Jaque Fourie (South Africa) - South Africa v British & Irish Lions
2008 - Brian O'Driscoll (Ireland) - Australia v Ireland

SOUND CHECK: Magnetic Fields leave synthesizers behind on tour WITH VIDEO
After a trilogy of albums that were defiantly synthesizer free, Stephin Merritt brought the keyboards back for Magnetic Fields' latest release, "Love at the Bottom of the Sea" — and was surprised at how the technology had evolved in the nearly 12 years since he'd last recorded with it.
"I ignored synthesizer technology for about 10 years and then did an epic shopping trip late last year," Merritt says. "The big manufacturers haven't done all that much interesting. What's new is things that are sort of on the periphery. They're making sounds an entirely different way, which was very interesting.
"It was a great deal of fun to work with, and they look really different, too. They're designed more by visual artists than by instrument manufacturers, and my favorites ... look like they're in Hollywood in 1930. They look more like 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' than 'Doctor Who.'"
Ironically, while Merritt and Magnetic Fields are performing songs from "Love at the Bottom of the Sea" on their current tour, the group is surprisingly NOT using synthesizers in the show.
"There's no synthesizers on stage," he says. "The only electric keyboard is my pocket piano, which is small and only makes a few pleasant sounds. There's no techno drums or bass, no rhythm section.
"The songs have very little to do with the eventual production style; they're written in such a way that we can easily switch genres at a moment's notice and change things up. That's something we like to do. It keeps everybody on their toes."
Magnetic Fields and Emma Straub perform Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Crofoot Ballroom, 1 S. Saginaw St., Pontiac. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25. Tickets sold for the Redford Theatre will be honored. Call 248-858-9333 or visit www.thecrofoot.com.

"Loyalty, being a long term customer, never a late payment, high balance accounts and still can't close a refi. Twice."
After being passed around from person to person, after turning in document after document, often the same ones over and over, bank of america was unable to close a simple refi, not just once, but 2 times! WHY I gave them a second chance I cannot answer, I think I thought that as I was(yes, I will be closing all my accounts with them), what I considered(well, they did too), a premium customer, and as I had met what I though were all of their requirements, you can imagine my disappointment when they closed the application with very little or no explanation really as to why. While their people were (mostly) nice, they were ineffective and inefficient, wasting my time and money.
My Schwab broker recommended quicken loans. They work exclusively with them as a result of their high service level and customer satisfaction. I was a bit snobby and didn't think that I would like working with an online bank, but to be honest, can't think of the last time I walked into a bank branch. They're closing not just the primary refi, but also a rental property, and both in record time. And with half the paperwork, one primary contact who is professional and courteous and values my time and money, and is working with and for me to make this process as easy and pain free as possible. As I have talked to friends about this, many have a horror story about B of A. I have not heard one bad thing about Quicken, and hope to turn many people onto them - their service strategy puts them way above!

"BoA = Worst bank ever!"
Customer BEWARE:
This bank will rip you off with all their hidden charges. I recently open an account hoping that I can easily cash my paycheck which is also from BofA but I was wrong. They charged me from using their teller and WORST they charged me $33 for so-called "overwithdrawal limit" on my savings account. I did not know and nobody told me that There is a number of times where I can withdraw or transfer my savings account. I am doing all my transactions online though. I am now on the process of transferring all my automatic payments to my Chase account and after that I will close my account to Bank of America and will never be their customer again.
This Bank do not deserve to have even a star in rating. there are other banks out there so please AVOID BANK OF AMERICA if you don't want headache.

There are NO banking centers in the state of Colorado. They are downsizing into a community bank. I was traveling and lost my debit card in the state of Colorado. NEVER AGAIN. I called Bank Of America's Customer service, and they was not able to wire me any money in an emergency situation. Not to mention I was put on hold countless times. The representative was very rude, and had no sympathy for me what so ever. They FAILED to take care of me. They beat around the bush, and they acted like my money was theirs. They failed to give me any of my money at all, or make suggestions about how to get it in an emergency situation. I was lied to because the supervisor told me that he could send me money through western union, and failed horribly to do so. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND BANK OF AMERICA to anyone that travels a lot. They are inconsiderate and heartless toward people that really need money in emergency situations, and they are shutting down more banking centers as we speak. They are becoming less and less dependent for people and their money. Years ago I would have rated them high, but sadly things have changed for the worst for Bank Of America.

"Begrudgingly the best banking experience ever"
I was prompted to write this review after some infuriating experiences with other banks -- PNC Bank for my auto loan, and First Federal for my HSA account. I found myself saying the words "I never have this problem with Bank of America". I have my checking, savings, custodial savings, and a credit card with them. I have also had a car loan and a mortgage with them and I've never had a problem with any of them. They clearly invest in technology -- their online bill pay is fantastic and their ATMs are plentiful and incredibly user friendly. I had to short sell my last house because of divorce and the whole process was surprisingly gentle and straight forward. There may be other banks that are just as good, but I feel I've taken Bank of America for granted and may be a tad spoiled. I now expect to be able to use online banking for any type of loan (talking to you PNC), to be able to view complete transaction details and make quick payments online (still talking to you, PNC), to get replacements for expired cards mailed to me before they expire (that's you, First Federal), to have payments post when they are received, and to have technology that actually works -- like being able to change my address online and have it apply to all of my accounts. As long as those things remain the same there is no possibility of me changing banks.

"Worst Banking Experience EVER"
I applied for a mortgage modification. It took more than 18 months to be processed. It was approved effective Nov. 2011. It has still NOT been completed even though it was effective 17 months ago. I have been in this process with them for nearly THREE years and it still isn't completed. Customer service has been terrible. They have requested the same information from me OVER AND OVER. Information coming from them has been incorrect many times. They have changed my Account Manager more than 6 times in 6 months so no one knows what is going on. I despise them and their unethical and unprofessional business practices. If I could get rid of my mortgage or change it to anyone else, I would do it immediately. Working with BOA has been my worst experience with ANY company in my entire life.

"less than entertaining"
Bank of America is practicing what they call the "Drop Off" which means that when you make a transaction that shows pending one day all of a sudden disappears a few days later giving you the false impression it had cleared and your reflecting balance is accurate when in fact it had not cleared and your balance is not accurate as the transaction was added back to your balance ( no record reflects this) yet hidden and left pending in BOA land. So without warning like magic it reappears on your statement deducting a second time from your balance which you thought was accurate after you made several transactions and transfers since the prior causing your balance to trigger an overdraft as it plummets below the previously thought accurate balance. Fortunately for me I was able to correct the balance by transferring funds in time to avoid any overdraft fees but still recieved the overdraft notice because of course it was my fault. which I am sure is why they practice the "Drop Off" maneuver so as to bleed the little guy dry. I tried to exsplain to BOA that there practice is faulty wrong and missleading as account balances can not be trusted. So unless you keep a written seperate log of your debit transactions fees are likely to follow. Of course they can not help if the merchant does not respond to the pending trans action in time so they simply must drop it off the acct until they do and around and around we go in this circular un ending diatribe. Of course these rules of theirs are well thought out by some one in a higher pay grade other than whom you are speaking with so it is fuetile to blame the parot. This has occured twice to me thus far so watch out for the "Drop Off" manuever and unless your from the planet BOA dont exspect them to understand your logic.

"A-Holes now charge overdraft fees on savings accounts!!"
I've been banking with BofA for about 7 years or so and I have dealt with their shady practices, they have gone beyond reproach; they NOW charge OVERDRAFT FEES FOR A SAVINGS ACCOUNT, beware, you have been warned.
When I called the rep about this she tried to play it off by circumventing my actual question by saying "well there are some things that can cause overdraft fees to occur..yada yada yada" I told her, that I know that, but that this was new to SAVINGS ACCOUNT. I knew the BS lines so I just hung up. If you "transfer" beware that you may be charged an overdraft fee if your savings account is overdrawn by one cent.

These ski cross events will have maximum point value of 650 points compared to 500 points for a FIS Continental Cup. The snow conditions are superb and a number of National Teams such as the Canadians with reigning ski cross world champion Kelsey Serwa have registered. "We are excited to be hosting this prestigious first ever event at Nevados de Chillan," says Gonzalo Navarrete, marketing manager for the resort. "We want to showcase to the rest of the world what Chillan is all about including several new chairlifts and some of the best snow conditions in years." Nevados de Chillan is located 600 kilometers south of Santiago, Chile. Under new ownership one of the highlights of a trip to the ski area is the cat skiing on extinct volcanos. "We have 3 different volcanos where our guests can enjoy cat skiing," says Navarrete. "In addition we have one of the biggest hot springs outdoor pools in the country...combine that with a world class spa and other amenities which allow our guests enjoy a wonderful experience at our resort." "This is a big event for Chillan and the athletes and the sport of ski cross," commented Stefano Arnhold president of the Brazilian Snowsports Federation. "After organizing the first ever ski cross competition in South America in 2010, we are now very excited to be in Nevados de Chillan for the first ever ski cross COC giving all South-Americans the chance to score important points and to help the development of ski cross on our Continent." With the successful introduction of ski cross on the Olympic Winter program in Vancouver, a ski cross "fever" has taken off globally and the organizers of the SCoC are planning on hosting the event annually.

SOURCE Pennsylvania Lottery
MIDDLETOWN, Pa., March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As the Powerball® jackpot for the March 9 drawing has rolled to $150 million, one Powerball ticket worth $1 million from the March 6 drawing was sold at Lizzie's Dairy, 106 Whitaker Way, Homestead, Allegheny County.
The ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 06-10-23-41-45, but not the red Powerball 01, for a $1 million second-tier prize, less 25 percent federal withholding.
The retailer will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Lottery officials cannot confirm the identity of the winner until the prize is claimed and the ticket is validated. Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball winners have one year from the drawing date to claim prizes.
The Lottery encourages the holder of the winning ticket to sign the back of the ticket, call the Lottery at 717-702-8146 and file a claim at any of Lottery's seven area offices or at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County.
Claims may be filed Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at area offices and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at headquarters.
The Powerball jackpot grew to an estimated annuity value of $150 million, or $95.2 million cash, for the Saturday, March 9, drawing.
In the 2011-12 fiscal year, the Pennsylvania Lottery awarded nearly $205 million in prizes to Allegheny County winners and contributed nearly $122 million to programs serving the county's older residents.
How to play Powerball: Players pay $2 and select five white balls from the first set of 59 numbers plus a single red ball, the Powerball, from a second set of 35 numbers. Players may select their own numbers using a Powerball playslip, or they may opt for computer-selected quick picks. Players must match all five numbers drawn plus the Powerball number to win the jackpot. There also are eight additional ways for players to win a cash prize.
Powerball tickets are sold in 44 participating jurisdictions. Drawings are held on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
About the Pennsylvania Lottery: The Pennsylvania Lottery remains the only state lottery that designates all its proceeds to programs that benefit older residents. Since its inception in 1971, the Pennsylvania Lottery has contributed more than $22.6 billion to programs that include property tax and rent rebates; free transit and reduced-fare shared rides; the low-cost prescription drug programs PACE and PACENET; long-term living services; and the 52 Area Agencies on Aging, including full- and part-time senior centers throughout the state.
The Pennsylvania Lottery reminds its players to play responsibly. Players must be 18 or older.

"Dreams guide and help us after we set goals and ideals for our lives.- Edgar Cayce.
Dear Lauri,
I had the craziest dreams last night. Dead people didn't like where they were buried so they moved to another gravesite. And then my mother disowned me because I wouldn't go to church even though I was sick. It was just crazy! - Julie 31, Nashville, TN
Lauri: What seemingly "dead, over and done with" issue has begun making movement in your life again? Some idea or issue YOU buried and put in the past has come to the surface again, which is causing you to make some rearrangements in your life because YOU are not happy. Do you know what it is? Your mom disowning you is very likely connected to anger you have with yourself. Are you mad at yourself for not being a mom yet? Or are you a mom and if so are you displeased with yourself in that regard? Or are you not taking good enough care of yourself? Not going to church indicates you have lost faith in yourself. I believe your dream is showing you that losing faith or hope is unhealthy.
Julie replies: WOW! How do you do that? Yes, I'm mad at myself for not being a mom yet and I don't think it will ever happen and yes I'm displeased with myself for not taking good enough care of myself. When I was a kid I wanted to be a veterinarian because I loved animals but I wasn't strong in science so I "put that dream to rest". Then the other day I realized that I could be a vet tech instead and am seriously thinking about going back to school to be one. This all makes sense.

A Lincoln woman described her accused carjackers as The Three Stooges.
Jebelle Yaunk said someone snatched her keys and phone out of her hand, demanding money and striking her with the end of a gun Monday night outside her apartment.
"They just hit me right here, so it hurt to open up my jaw. But somehow it made my eye all black and blue," Yaunk said.
Yaunk's reaction throughout attempted robbery isn't what most would expect.
"I was too busy kind of laughing at them to be too scared," Yaunk said.
Yaunk drives a sports car with a stick shift, something the thieves weren't used to driving.
"They must not know how to work a clutch, because they couldn't get it started," Yaunk said. "It was like I was being robbed by The Three Stooges."
Police said one of the boys then called his parents in Omaha, telling them he was running from police. The boy's parents then called Lincoln investigators.
Police caught the 17-year-old and the two 15-year-olds 30 minutes later.
Yaunk's car has undercarriage damage and is leaking fluid.

Late-night comedian test drives military vehicle that showcases Ricardo's expertise in armored vehicle design and fuel efficiency improvements
VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP, Mich., March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ricardo-engineered Fuel Efficient Ground Vehicle Demonstrator (FED) vehicle is featured in a web video posted today on "Jay Leno's Garage." During the segment, the late-night comedian takes a test drive of the FED, which represents the ideal application of armored vehicle design expertise and fuel efficiency improvements by Ricardo, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Ricardo PLC, a multi-industry consultancy for engineering, technology, project innovation and strategy.
"Ricardo has been working for many years to help the U.S. Department of Defense increase the fuel efficiency of its vehicle fleet, and it is an honor to have Jay Leno give recognition to the achievements the FED has made in armored vehicle design and fuel efficiency improvements," said Tom Apostolos, president of Ricardo, Inc.
Ricardo worked with the U.S. Army's Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) to design, develop, manufacture and test the FED. Completed in 2011, the FED is a military demonstration vehicle that shows how to maximize fuel economy on the battlefield while maintaining the capability and performance of light tactical wheeled vehicles. The vehicle showcases Ricardo's total vehicle system methodology, which combines advanced powertrain technologies with vehicle mass reduction, improved rolling resistance and driveline improvements to increase fuel economy.
The FED visited Jay Leno's garage in Burbank, Calif., this past February to film the test drive. The vehicle was accompanied by Gen. Dennis L. Via, commanding general of Army Materiel Command (AMC), and Grace Bochenek, Ph.D., AMC's chief technology officer, who provided Jay with an overview during the segment.
The FED features numerous fuel-saving designs, including:

text: hi--can anyone advise me as to putting a cover crop in some of my garden beds to increase the fertility of the soil? im in ireland in the summers and have been working on a (mostly) organic garden the last couple summers. im getting ready to leave next week and if i dont do some prep now for next year none will get done because the people who worked it last year arent here anymore. this was the second year using this ground, and the stuff didnt grow nearly as well--needed alot more seaweed and manure but im car-less so had little power over that. would love to work seaweed and manure in before i leave but again, no car. i was thinking of planting some kind of cover crop/green manure that could then be overturned back into the soil in the spring to help enrich it...anyone know anything about this? ive got about 2 and a half pounds of alfalfa sprouting seeds i need to use before i go so i thought of using these....??

What some of our customers have been saying....
My speech had a really positive reaction from the assembled 150 diners. I took parts from the different speeches and intermingled it with some thoughts and jokes of my own but it gave me a very good basis to start writing it. Thank you for your help as it made me think and start writing it down. Thank you so much it was very helpful.
Your Speech Writers web is so handy and provides idea of what to say in speeches for different occasions. In fact, it helped me a lot in developing a speech for the Christmas occasion for the unit I work in. Now I know I can access the web to help me write speeches for different occasions. Thanks very much.
Frank, Illinois
I have bought on line only once previously and that was for a flight Ticket. I found your speeches of great help in preparing myself for my brothers Big Day using two of the speeches I received from you in my best mans speech with only some minor changes, My speech went down very well at the wedding and i would like to thank you very much, as for value for money it seemed expensive when I purchased them, but when I received them you had a large variety which would suit everybody giving or receiving a speech, and after the way my speech went down at a very posh wedding with more than 100 people it was certainly good value for money,
Sherilyn, FL
My daughters took parts of the speeches and adapted them for their Grandma. They were great. Wouldn't have been able to do it as well if I hadn't accessed your website. If I have any more speeches to give will certainly head off to your site first. They received a few laughs as well as a few teary eyes. They also felt comfortable giving the speech, well actually they looked and sounded fine but initially very nervous!
Your speeches did guide me in writing my speech. It was great, my audience and family members had high praises for me. Thanks very much and I will recommend your website every time.

Appreciation for craft beer, distillers, and the art of mixology draws likeminded imbibers to Taps & Tequila, the home of a dozen flavor-infused tequilas and more than 25 craft beers on draft. Inside the lavish bar area, brick archways and clusters of plush chairs compliment a lengthy, L-shaped bar, behind which sits shelf upon shelf of premium bottles. A spacious beer garden rests just outside, providing walk-up entry from Central Avenue to passersby and Tropicana Field crowds.
Since 1980, Time For Wine has colored the palates of wine lovers with a wealth of limited-production vintages from around the world that are typically unavailable in stores, restaurants, or juice boxes. Personal consultants continue the cherished traditions of European wine tasting by helping clients select a choice bottle with thorough sampling, taste analysis, and metaphors that may involve freshly cut grass or the musk of a well-travelled nickel. The boutique's sommeliers can make house calls to customers to host tastings of wines such as Italian chianti and South American malbec, and mail orders of finely aged grape juices ship within 24 hours. Customized labels grace specially ordered bottles with family photos, family crests, and personal messages.
Booth's Brewing outfits customers with quality beer- and wine-making supplies, from Briess dry malts to brew kettles by Blichmann Engineering. Hops-savvy staffers also guide students through the basics of crafting custom beers at home with beer-brewing classes. The sessions familiarize students with standard brewing equipment and ingredients, arming them with the theoretical and practical knowledge to successfully make beer at home without fitting their bathtub with a blowoff hose.
Understanding wine at a fundamental level requires a look at its fundaments through highly trained wine spectacles; don them with today's Groupon: $30 for a Wine 101 Class at WineMall. These small, 10- to 15-person sessions pour wine wisdom into the minds and bellies of fermented-grape novices.Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
Starting from humble roots in his farmhouse kitchen, Keel and Curley's founder, Joe Keel, started his winery in 2003 with just 10 gallons of homemade blueberry wine, made from the leftover crop of that year's berries. Today, the company has grown to produce more than 20,000 cases of fruit-based ambrosias, including blueberry, blackberry, and seven fusion wines forged from a blend of fresh fruit and classic grape-based red and white varietals. After touring the winery's facilities to learn about the winemaking process, guests may sample vintages crafted from strawberries, key lime, and peaches while perched on tall wooden stools behind the bar area of the tasting room. They may also steal away to the outdoor wooden deck, which offers panoramic views of the green vineyards, tree-lined pond, and white gazebo, which plays host to wedding ceremonies and re-enactments of wedding ceremonies. The after-hours wine bar keeps guests entertained throughout the night with UnCorked events featuring live music, appetizers, and happy hour specials.

What TV tech is best? Which is the best LCD TV? Which is best out of LCD and plasma? Which screen size is best for my living room? What's the difference between LCD and LED TVs?
These are the kind of questions that thousands of us have to ask every year.
Buying a new TV can be a stressful experience even for the tech-savvy, see - there are so many brands, so many features, so many screen sizes, colours, technologies and flavours to choose from.
So which one is right for you, your family and your living space?
Technology is moving on at a rapid pace and we're constantly being treated to new tech which comes hand in hand with new jargon.
So here you'll find all the buying advice you'll need for snapping up the top rated TV for you and your space, as well as all the best LCD TVs and best plasma TVs by size.
Because there is no 'best tv'. There is only the best TV for you...
Use the article index to find quick links on the right hand side to the info you're looking for or browse at your leisure!
10 best 32-inch TVs
The perfect size for bedroom TVs or sets for smaller rooms
Most living rooms can't physically take a TV much bigger than 32-inch, making this size by far the best for a lot of people in the UK.
But within this size division, there's plenty of choice. A basic HD-ready set can be found for less than £300 is you search hard, though it's just as easy to spend over £2k on the best ones.
There's only one certainty at this size – your new TV will be a LCD TV. If you're lucky it could have LED backlighting, but it won't be a plasma; LG used to make plasmas at this size, but there's not one on sale currently...
Read more... 10 best 32-inch TVs in the world today
10 best 37-inch TVs
The first step towards a truly large screen TV
Making the decision to upgrade from a bulky old 28-inch CRT TV is almost too easy, but heading straight for a 42-inch plasma can seem a little daunting.
And thus the 37-inch size has become one of the UK's most popular shapes; a lot more impressive than a 32-incher, yet not big enough to entirely dominate a living room. It's also often the maximum size for those of us who are forced, simply by the shape of our living room, to shove a TV in the corner.
It's a size division that's as competitive as any, with the big brands weighing in with both LCD and plasma TV models. Despite its direct forerunners being some of the best-reviewed (and best-selling) TVs around, Panasonic's TX-P37X20 is the only plasma left in this category...
Read more... 10 best 37-inch TVs in the world today
10 best 42-inch TVs
The sweet spot for plasma TVs offers lots of bang for your buck
Once known simply as 'plasma screens' in the collective consciousness, the 40-42-inch size is where the flatscreen dream started in the late 1990s - and where it's still at its most innovative and best.
Now a lot more varied, with plasmas rubbing shoulders with (and quickly being outnumbered by) LCD TVs and their ultra-modern LED TV makeover, 40-42 inches is still the sweetspot for anyone not overly concerned with ruining the interior design of their living room.
As well as being the fastest growing sector of the market, this size also offers possibly the best value TVs around. Serious home cinema addicts have moved on to 50-inch and bigger screens, leaving this category a swarm of slashed prices...
Read more... 10 best 42-inch TVs in the world today
10 best 46 and 47-inch TVs
So the majority of TVs in this size bracket are now from the LED side of the wall, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. LED TVs these days are brighter than plasmas, they're thinner and there's a lot more variety on show. So here's our selection of the best 46-inch (and the odd 47-inch too) TVs for your perusal.
Read more... 10 best 46 and 47-inch TVs in the world today
10 best 50-inch TVs
These are for the home cinema enthusiasts and where the plasma screen begins to come into its own. You can find some real bargains in this price bracket but if you want the best, you're going to have to pay through the nose.
Read more... 10 best 50-inch TVs in the world today
Everything you need to know about 3D TV
With the Blu-ray 3D specification finalised and Sky's 3D TV channel due, the UK faces another telly revolution.
Forget the digital switchover, 1080p 'Full HD' and web-connected TV widgetry. Jump-out-of-the-screen 'stereoscopic 3D' is the best TV tech around!
Trying to describe it is like trying to paint a symphony. So what will you need to watch 3D TV? Who's doing it? When? What's the best 3D TV? And will your existing HDTV work? Carry on reading to find out the answers to these and many more 3D TV questions...

Must-See Mileposts On The Parkway
There's a reason the Blue Ridge Parkway is called America's Favorite Drive.
Actually, there are lots of reasons – glorious fall foliage, vibrant spring flowers, charming little towns, friendly mountain folks, rich Appalachian culture, dramatic vistas, quiet meadows, intriguing tunnels – the list goes on.
But perhaps what folks love best about the Parkway is its uncanny ability to force travelers to slow down and enjoy the drive.
"The Blue Ridge Parkway is timeless," says Penn Dameron, executive director of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area, a 25-county region that includes the Parkway and Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "It takes you to a completely different world and serves as a constant reminder of what an extraordinary place we live in."
Extraordinary, indeed. Here are 25 fun things to do along or just off of America's Favorite Drive.
Milepost 291
Whiz through the air at 50 miles per hour at Scream Time Ziplines. The company offers canopy tours that allow you to fly over grazing cows and horses in a wooded area near Boone.

Milepost 304
Built at an elevation of 4,100 feet, the Linn Cove Viaduct is a 1,234 foot long S-curve.
"The stunning Linn Cove Viaduct crosses the eastern slope of the mountain and offers the best view on the entire Parkway," Dameron says.
Milepost 305
The nearly 2,500-acre Grandfather Mountain area is part of North Carolina's newest state park. The nature preserve boasts the Mile High Swinging Bridge, interesting wildlife, picnic spots, hiking trails and a kid-friendly Nature Museum.
Milepost 316
Linville Falls offers gorgeous waterfalls, hiking trails and spectacular views of the falls and Linville Gorge.
"Wiseman's View, Table Rock, Hawksbill Mountain and Shortoff Mountain offer the best views of Linville Gorge anywhere," Dameron says.
Milepost 330
Dig into homemade ice cream or fudge, or take a hayride at the Orchard at Altapass. Built in 1908, the historic apple orchard is an Appalachian cultural center that celebrates the people, music, art and beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Milepost 334
A stone's throw from the Parkway is the community of Little Switzerland, where the Switzerland Inn offers an enchanting chalet restaurant; day excursions for horseback riding, gem mining and trout fishing; and hiking, golfing and shopping nearby.
Milepost 340

About a mile from Crabtree Meadows, you'll find the thundering Crabtree Falls, a 70-foot cascade that falls over a rocky cliff. Nearby cabins provide rustic accommodations.
