The March meeting of the Emery County School board was held at Emery High. Dixie Fielder the guidance counselor presented the Comprehensive Guidance Program to the board for approval. She highlighted various aspects of the program. She said 94 sophomores took a preparation ACT test and several scored very high. One student Rachel Roberts qualified for the national merit scholarship. One hundred and nineteen seniors participated in college day where various colleges came to the school and presented information about their college and gave them scholarship information. Fielder said she loves her job and loves the kids.
Principal Larry Davis introduced the boys swim team captains who came to inform the school board of their first place region swim meet finish. Eli Oliverson, Weston Allinson and Tyler Rowley from the boys team spoke to the board and Laryssa Guymon was the sixth place in state top placer for the girls swim team. Tammy Oliverson is the swim coach and she thanked the board for the part they played in bringing the swimming pool to the county.
Adrienne Carter president of the speech and debate told the board of the success of the speech and debate team. It was their goal to win 50 trophies this season and so far they have brought home 236 trophies. They won region and qualified the entire team for state. Coach Neal Peacock will prepare information about the success of these teams for publication.
Marqui Moss studentbody president reviewed the year of activities for the board. She said they started the school year with an assembly and program honoring the 10th anniversary of September 11. The students placed 3,000 flags on the front lawn of the school. The student council orchestrated homecoming activities and a tailgate party before the football game and a dance. They had a Mr. and Mrs. Emery assembly. They have presented four assemblies so far this year. They helped to raise funds for a football player injured in a football game with Emery. They helped raise funds for students in need at Emery High by putting funds into the student relief fund. They held a food drive and raised seven tons of food for the food bank. They have worked at the concession stand for 22 ball games and on every student's birthday the student is presented with a Snickers bar and a card.
The student council also paints the spirit rock for various activities and events.
This is the 50th anniversary of Emery High. School board member Sam Singleton said he was a teacher at the school when it opened and there were 290 students attending.
Jim Jones Canyon View Junior High principal came before the board to discuss the green house building in front of his school. He asked for permission to clean it out and use it as a small classroom where the assistants can work with the students in small groups. They will look at the options for doing this and Richard Rowley the custodian can do most of the work. The room will need another exit.
The federal government cannot subsidize the paid school lunches with any federal money. The lunch rates will have to be raised to meet this federal requirement. The elementaries will raise to $1.75, the junior highs to $2.25 and the high school to $2.50. The board expressed their dismay at having to raise the rates. Information about the lunch price hikes will be sent out before the end of the school year.
The district will also be holding summer lunch again this summer season.
Superintendant Kirk Sitterud asked for personnel approvals; Serena Shorts as a three hour aide at BookCliff Elementary for extended day kindergarten. Kim Dyer was approved as an assistant at Canyon View Junior High. Sidney Larsen was approved as a bus driver.
The board approved staying on the two new bus purchases a year schedule but they will monitor the decision closely. The district has found that running newer buses helps with maintenance costs and safety issues for the students.
Principal Davis gave the report on Emery High. He said it is the goal of the school to provide a quality experience for the students. The FFA parliamentary team won region. Mr. Thornley is doing an excellent job with the students and is very enthusiastic. Chet Funk was the Emery High wrestling champ and is planning on going to Nationals. The school focuses on citizenship and patriotism and had a very meaningful 9-11 program. Also new is a military recognition wall for former Emery High students now serving in the military. Linda Wilberg headed up that project. The school has an integrity program in place and is preparing students to be good citizens and learn how to behave in social settings. The school is teaching good manners and common courtesy to the students. Students are rewarded with candy bars.
The school is making progress with its anti-drug programs, three years ago the problem was prescription drugs and that seems to have shifted to marijuana and alcohol. Presentations are being made with comments and stories and poetry the students have prepared themselves. This approach is more effective and meaningful because it comes from other students. The homework class has 30 participants three times a week. They can work on their homework and also do remediation and A+ credit recovery to catch up on any credits they are missing. The number of students on probation is 19 and this is the lowest number for quite awhile. The Gear-up program is very active in the school and prepares students for college. Students at the school are encouraged to get involved. Involved students do better in and out of the classroom.
"We have much work to do, but we have a dedicated staff. Our school is 50 years old and it's a pretty darn good school. The district and maintenance departments do a great job of keeping everything together. The auditorium and the Spartan Center are very nice. There are many ongoing capital improvement projects and we have a campus to be proud of. When we had 800 students we had half the facility and now we have twice the facility and half the students. We had four winners at the Sterling scholar competition. Our kids are sensational. The junior prom was the social event of the year and we will continue that longstanding tradition at Emery High. Everyone at Emery High works well together. We get things done and we aren't afraid to take on the big problems. I am proud to be principal here," said Davis.
Sitterud announced the retirement of several district employees including Tom Baltzer, principal, Huntington Elementary; Jeanie Olsen, teacher, Cleveland Elementary; Bill Wright, teacher, Canyon View Junior High; Lorraine Dingman, teacher, Huntington Elementary; Norm Dingman, teacher, Cleveland Elementary; Judy Rowley, educational assistant, Huntington Elementary; Shirley Baltzer, educational assistant, Canyon View Junior High; and Donna Majors, custodian, Huntington Elementary.
The school trustland plans will come to the board for approval in May.
Sitterud brought the board members up to date on all the legislation dealing with education in this year's recently finished legislature.

We'll respond shortly.
Active Record scopes are an interesting thing to test. In projects I've worked on, I have seen many different patterns of testing, some much better than others.
A little over two years ago I wrote the gem pg_search, which provides a sort of Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for creating Active Record scopes that take advantage of PostgreSQL's built-in full-text search.
For example, the following code will set up a scope that accepts
query as a string and returns records whose
name matches that query. The records will be ordered by relevance.
class Book
include PgSearch
pg_search_scope :search_by_name, :against => :name
# => [#<Book id: 3, name: "Catch 22">,
# #<Book id: 7, name: "The Catcher in the Rye">]
In pg_search's test suite, I found myself needing to test the results of scopes over and over again. In doing so, I believe I have developed a reasonable approach. But first, let's look at a common pitfall.
describe ".chronological" do
it "should call order('year ASC')" do
expected_result = double("expected result")
Book.stub(:order).with("year ASC").and_return(expected_result)
Book.chronological.should == expected_result
In this example, we use an RSpec test double to simulate what would happen if we were to call
Book.order("year ASC"). We then call our
Book.chronological method to see if it returns the same value.
There are a few problems with this approach. First off, we are testing a class method on the
Book class, and also stubbing the class method
Book.order. By modifying part of how
Book works, we cannot be sure that the object will work when the mocks are absent.
Secondly, our test code is tightly coupled to our implementation. What if we decide that the
.chronological scope should always rank records with
NULL year first? In PostgreSQL, this would work:
def self.chronological
order("year ASC NULLS FIRST")
This is effectively a new feature, but you have to go back and change the test for an old feature in order to make everything pass.
describe ".chronological" do
it "orders records by year" do
later = Book.create!(year: "2005")
earlier = Book.create!(year: "2002")
middle = Book.create!(year: "2004")
results = Book.chronological
results.index(earlier).should be < results.index(middle)
results.index(middle).should be < results.index(later)
In this example, we set up a much simpler situation. We create three records, then expect the
chronological method to return them in order. Note that we use
Enumerable#index to compare the positions of the records in the output Array.
Now we can experiment with different solutions.
order("year ASC")
order("year DESC").reverse_order
joins(:author).order("year ASC")
All of these code examples should pass the test. And our test no longer cares about that
joins(:author) part. The original stubbed version would have failed because
.order is not called directly on
Book anymore.
We could also have written something like this:
results.should == [earlier, middle, later]
But now that the database is involved, we would need to be more careful to allow for other records that might be there, such as test fixtures. We could solve that by deleting all
Book records at the beginning of the spec.
describe ".chronological" do
it "orders records by year" do
later = Book.create!(year: "2005")
earlier = Book.create!(year: "2002")
middle = Book.create!(year: "2004")
results = Book.chronological
results.should == [earlier, middle, later]
My personal preference is to avoid the
Book.delete_all solution. In my opinion it's better to have a test that works regardless of the internal state of other objects and systems.
Also, if later down the road a test fixture happens to be present and somehow breaks my test, I have a chance of noticing and doing something about it at that point. If I always delete all of the records, then this free informal fuzz testing goes away.
This is similar to the oft-repeated Robustness Principle (aka Postel's Law)
Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others.
In other words, I want my test to tread lightly, but also not to fail when a bunch of garbage is thrown at it. It should still pass when I do this:
describe ".chronological" do
it "orders records by year" do
later = Book.create!(year: "2005")
earlier = Book.create!(year: "2002")
middle = Book.create!(year: "2004")
1_000_000.times do
random_year = 2000 + rand(10)
Book.create!(year: random_year.to_s)
results = Book.chronological
results.index(earlier).should be < results.index(middle)
results.index(middle).should be < results.index(later)
This example fully integrates the test against the database. Some would argue that this is no longer a unit test, and is thus not as good.
I agree that this is not a pure unit test. It has a dependency on the database. For example, if the database is not set up properly, this test will fail, while the stubbed example would still pass.
Scopes are an interesting concept that I believe evade easy unit testing; they are methods that return instances of
The strange thing about these
Relation objects is that they behave somewhere in-between a class and an instance. For example, they are clearly not a class.
Book.chronological.is_a?(Class) # => false
But they behave much like the
Book class, delegating many of the common things you might do.
Book.chronological.new # => #<Book id: nil, name: nil>
Book.where(year: 2007).destroy_all # (destroys all records with year 2007)
And any class method you define on
Book is callable directly on the
Relation instance. It's almost as if it were a subclass of
Book. Even silly methods that have nothing to do with the database work almost as normal.
class Book < ActiveRecord::Base
def self.name_in_french
Book.where(:year => "2000").name_in_french # => "Livre"
And yet
Relation objects also act like an
Enumerable and have all the methods like
#select, and so on. In fact, there is the crazy implementation of
ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#select which goes out of its way to guess whether you wanted the Active Record class method or the
Enumerable method.
So scopes are these strange methods that have a fluent interface that chains, create a set of virutal subclasses of your model, and build an abstract syntax tree (AST) of your SQL queries using the Arel gem.
This last point is the nail in the coffin for me. An AST is not that meaningful until it is compiled into runnable code and executed. And with scopes and
Relation objects, that means generating SQL code. And SQL code itself is not that interesting until it is executed against a database. For most of its useful operations, a
Relation is actually a code generator for another language!
So my vote is to embrace the database, get something working quickly, and move on. That way, you know that your true goals are going to work against your actual application.
I'd love to hear feedback and debate. I don't believe this is a closed issue. Feel free to join the discussion in the comments!

Beautiful boots
"These boots were great! Although I ordered a 1/2 size too large, they were comfortable and great for "athletic" caves. The back stretch elastic was rich and matched the leather perfectly. I returned them due to size but plan on re-ordering them.Beautiful classic riding boot!"

Sadly not what I expected
"These boots looked so cute in the photos, so I was so excited to receive them! Unfortunately, when I tried them on, the foot was much too long in proportion to the rest of the boot. They also seem shinier than pictured so I will be returning them instead of exchanging for a smaller size."

I loved this boot!!!
"I'm a true 8, but the 8 was too big, so I ordered a 7.5. Although the 7.5 fit much better, my heel kept slipping out when I walked. I think it was due to the fact that the back of the boot is fabric, only the front is leather. It is a beautiful boot with the gold zipper and accent. I so wanted it to fit perfect but it didn't and I returned it."

Today is the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. It is the first commemoration since President George W. Bush left office. But even while he was still President there had been a creeping complacency to the remembrance, a feeling of obligation bordering on inconvenience.
Our news networks only show the photo images of that fateful day on the anniversary date. It is as if America wants to move on, but can't bring itself to ignore the hole that's still at Ground Zero, the charred corner stone at the Pentagon, the memorial at Shanksville or the war that's still going on against the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan and around the world.
9/11 has affected us as no other event in our life histories and we will never forget the carnage and death launched against the United States by these cowards. But what we should also remember and celebrate are the genuine acts of courage and service that have been on-going by our armed forces, law enforcement agencies and first responders who have dedicated their lives for the protection ours. On this day, all of us at Choclatique do remember and want to give a word of thanks to these men and women—American heroes all.

|In response to Re: garbage disposal
: I know all the tricks to unstick a disposal. I've used them all. That's not my problem. My disposal runs, but won't chew up the waste. Is there an answer to my problem? The blades seem to be very loose and wobble back and forth.
The blades you describe sound more like the lugs that through the waste to the grinding ring. If its an In Sink Erator those lugs are suppose to wobble. The grind ring runs around the whole diameter of your disposal and the waste is ground (not cut)there. I have felt these rings and they are not sharp. You may have some material wedged in the grind ring. I would try grinding some small beef bones to dislodge any material.

Bills 2012: Where did it go wrong?
by Howard Simon
posted Dec 13 2012 12:00AM
We were supposed to be talking about the wildcard playoff race right now and not the 2013 draft or whether or not the Bills should make a coaching change for the 5
time in 13 years.
But the 2012 season will likely go down in the record books as the 13
consecutive non-playoff year and perhaps the most disappointing season over that long stretch.
What happened? Where did it all go so wrong?
In my opinion it all starts on the defensive side of the ball. That's where the Bills spent a lot of time and Ralph Wilson's money this past off season to improve a unit that was one of the worst in the NFL last season.
It took the defense half a season to get their collective game together. In hindsight, maybe we should have seen opening day as a bad omen. The defense got off on the proverbial wrong foot when it was thrashed by a New York Jets offense that would turn out to be one of the worst in the league.
There was the second half collapse against the Patriots, followed by a game in San Francisco where they were torched for 45 points and gave up a franchise record 680 yards.
But the dagger to the heart may have been the loss to Tennessee where the defense gave up 35 points to what had been a struggling Titans offense and couldn't protect a lead at the end of the game.
You can start up front in terms of diagnosing what went wrong on defense. The Bills scheme is predicated on the four linemen setting the tone but that group really struggled over the first two months.
Big ticket free agent Mario Williams was close to invisible on way too many game days. Perhaps it was a wrist injury he sustained in the pre-season because Williams has looked like a different player since having surgery during the bye week.
Mark Anderson, the other free agent pickup brought in to bolster the D-line, looked only slightly better than Williams before suffering an injury in the fourth game of the season.
Second year Bill Marcell Dareus was dealing with an off field tragedy as his younger brother was shot to death in a robbery/homicide back home in Alabama. Dareus played like someone whose mind was elsewhere but his game, like Mario Williams, has come around since the mid point of the season.
The linebacking corps was a huge question mark coming into the season and remains so. The play of Nick Barnett seemed to slip in the first half of the season, compared to his performance in 2011.
The Bills hoped middle linebacker Kelvin Sheppard would make a significant jump in his second season but that hasn't happened and three different players have taken a crack at the third LB spot with Kirk Morrison losing the job in training camp to Arthur Moats and then Moats losing the job to rookie Nigel Bradham.
Outside of Jairus Byrd and Stephon Gilmore, the secondary has been a mess. Gilmore himself struggled as he got his feet wet but the other starter, Aaron Williams probably would have lost the job based on performance if he hadn't been injured.
Veteran Terrence McGee would have provided a boost at that spot but couldn't stay on the field for more than 20 snaps a game and was eventually placed on injured reserve.
Leodis McKelvin began the season as the nickel back but couldn't hang on to the job and was replaced by second year pro Justin Rogers. Rogers has gone backwards with his low point coming in that loss to Tennessee when he was beaten on the game winning TD pass.
Veteran safety George Wilson had a chance to seal the win but couldn't hold on to an interception and that play in a nutshell describes his season. Wilson, who went from undrafted free agent receiver to safety, has usually been good for a handful of big plays over the course of the season but they just haven't been there in 2012. He's even lost some playing time to Da'Norris Searcy.
Lets not leave out the man in charge of the defense, Dave Wannstedt. His flawed game plans in the opener against the Jets and the home game with the Patriots are partly to blame for those losses. At times, Wannstedt's inability to adjust or inflexibility when it comes to his game plan has been a liability.
The high expectations of 2012 didn't pan out due to the regression of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick too. He'll never be confused with a franchise quarterback but the Bills appeared to have put together a good enough team around him so they could, at the very, least contend for a playoff spot.
Perhaps the decision to bring in a quarterbacks coach and overhaul Fitzpatrick's mechanics turned out to be a detriment because the passing game for the Bills has suffered. Fitzpatrick has been hesitant to throw the ball downfield and the most effective plays are screen passes and dump offs.
Interestingly enough, the numbers won't necessarily tell the story, except for average yards per game, when you compare Fitzpatrick's stats from 2012 to his 2011 numbers. His completion percentage is 61% and it was 62% last season. He's thrown 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions and his 2011 totals were 24 TD's and 23 INTs. His quarterback rating is actually better, standing at 85 with 3 games to go. Last season he finished with a 79 rating.
As I said the big change comes in yards. Fitzpatrick is averaging just 170 passing yards a game(those are Trent Edwards numbers) as opposed to 2011 when he averaged 239 yards a game.
The Bills inability to play complete games has been a problem as well. The Kansas City and Jacksonville games are the only two all season where the Bills were solid across the board with offense, defense and special teams.
While the defense has improved over the second half of the season, the offense has gone in the opposite direction. After averaging 24 points game through the first 8 games, Buffalo has averaged 19 points over the last 5 games.
What else went wrong this season? Chan Gailey has taken a big step back as Head Coach. I thought Gailey did a tremendous job in his first 2 years of getting production from an offense that didn't boast a great level of talent at the skill positions.
But Gailey seems to have run out of answers and certainly seems to be coaching very conservatively. The loss to St. Louis may have been the breaking point for many Bills fans but going back to the Arizona victory, Gailey has made numerous questionable decisions including the running back rotation, the lack of touches for C.J. Spiller, not kicking 50+ yard field goals, clock management and play calling.
It looks like the defense is headed in the right direction but the performance of the Head Coach and the quarterback are now huge problems for the franchise and it remains to be seen if they change one or both or neither. That decision will go a long way in determining whether we are right back in this spot, one year from now, wondering why the Bills will miss the playoffs for a 14
straight season.

Please join in and let me know what you think of Nana. And if you have not read it yet let me introduce you to this manga.
You can read it online at
Nana is a great josei/Romance/Slice of Life manga. You will enjoy every chapter. It focuses on two female characters, both called Nana, who end up sharing an apartment together. They form a very special friendship.They have different backgrounds, different goals, different personalities.
Ai Yazawa is brilliant!! You will enjoy the humour in the script. It has a bit of everything. I found is very it was easy to relate to this manga. Its easy to identify with many realistic depictations in this manga. I loved the romance covered in the manga. I loved Takumi's character and he is one of my favorite bishies.
There are many thing to discuss and Ai Yazawa keeps the story open to debate and there are many unanswered questions that come during this manga. Even after 82 chapters (til now) the story still continues to grip, entertain and leaving us wanting for more......
Also to let you know there is an animation made from this manga. There are also two movies made based on this manga. The music in the movies is also very good!!
Read it and lets discuss the manga here!

Virgin Blue Launches Self Check-In Kiosks15/11/2004
Virgin Blue has today unveiled 'Blue Check' self service kiosks at Brisbane Airport that will allow Guests to conveniently check themselves in for their flight, choose their own seat and print their own boarding pass and itinerary in less than 60 seconds.
The performance and user friendliness of 'Blue Check' kiosks will be closely monitored during an initial three month pilot stage before they are rolled out across the network.
Virgin Blue expects to install kiosks in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne Airports next year with other ports likely to follow.
Initially 'Blue Check' will be offered to Guests travelling with cabin baggage only. However the high quality, low fare airline plans to give all Guests the option of self-service check-in by the end of the first quarter of 2005, including those with checked luggage.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "As always we are focused on enhancing and streamlining the travel experience for our Guests and the new 'Blue Check' self-service kiosks are just another way through technology that we can offer quick, efficient and more convenient service to travellers."
"Another bonus of rolling out 'Blue Check' kiosks is that Virgin Blue will be able to increase the number of flights from selected airports without creating longer check-in lines or raising costs by adding further check-in counters to cope with future demand."
"This initiative will help us to continue our growth while keeping our operating costs low so we can continue to pass the savings on to travellers," Brett Godfrey finished.
Specially trained Virgin Blue Ground Crew will be on hand as 'Blue Check' ambassadors to assist Guests with the Blue Check process.
* Images of Virgin Blue's new 'Blue Check' kiosks are available for media use on request.

Nice, but....
"This is a nice cute shoe. I got it on clearance and I'm wearing them today. The only problem is the heel is not stable. The heel is a little wobbly. It's not a tall heel, so I was a little surprised that they were not very stable. Hey, I got them cheap so still worth the buy!"

A Little Uncomfy but Cute
"I bought these shoes for my sister's wedding coming up in a few weeks. They are really cute and I love the heel height. I wore them to work one day to break them in, and so glad I did. The straps by the toes are a little tight and one of my pinky toes was pinched most of the day. Also, you have the have SUPER tiny feet to get into these shoes. The strap at the top that goes over the foot is only so roomy, and does not adjust."

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
On Feb. 25, the United States Forest Service began a round of scoping meetings when the first meeting was held in Castle Dale. The meeting was held at the Museum of the San Rafael and the purpose of these scoping meetings throughout the state was explained by Elaine Zieroth, forest supervisor of the Manti-LaSal Forest. The USFS is the organization charged with the management of the natural resources of the forests for the American people.
The US laws require the forest service to periodically revise the plan for the management of the forests. Zieroth explained that 1986 was the last time revision was undertaken. The purpose of this round of revisions is to identifiy the things that still work and restructure the things that no longer fit into the forest management of today.
Public comments will be solicited throughout the entire process which will last approximately two more years. This current revision began in May of 2002 with the Notice of Intent to begin the revision. The first scoping meeting to gather public input was sparsely attended but a lot of input was gathered.
For purposes of personalizing the meetings, the forest lands in the Manti-LaSal forest, which cover 1.4 million acres, have been divided into 10 smaller geographic areas to be analyzed in depth by the communities and citizens that utilize those areas. Zieroth informed the attendees that the final revision would not be blanket coverage for the Manti-LaSal, but each individual geographic area could have completely different management considerations.
Zieroth introduced Ann King, Linda Crawley, Annette Delos Santos and Kort Utley who would be facilitating the meeting. Maps were displayed with the areas of the Manti-LaSal Forest located in Emery County. There were two geographic areas that were discussed in detail. The first was the Ferron-Muddy Canyons with the other being Huntington Canyon-Joe's Valley.
Maps of the two geographic areas were overlayed with clear plastic and the group was given markers and encouraged to write on the overlays the areas of the forest that they use and the things they participate in while in the forest. Some participants were interested in camping areas, while others considered ATV and horse riding access. Still others were concerned with the future of private industry and protection of the resource.
These scoping meetings will be held throughout the state to gather public comment, then the forest service will analyze this information and formulate a proposed action plan and this plan will be brought back to the public for further comment. The timeline for the proposed action plan is fall of 2003. The forest service is requesting that all users of the forest lands get involved and make their opinions known. If a person cannot attend one of the scoping meetings in their particular area, comments will be accepted by mail or in person at any Manti-LaSal forest office.
For more information or questions, call Annette Delos Santos at 435-636-3512 or Ann King at 435-636-3535

Lets settle this question once and for all:
1) Ichigo is Part Shinigami and his Shinigami Powers were inherited from Isshin. Ichigo materialized Zangetsu without an Asauchi. Ichigo is NOT a (full) Quincy anymore than he is a (full) Shiinigami or a (full) Hollow. He is not even completely Human.
2) Ichigo's sisters MAY have the same issues as he does, UNLESS if Hichigo or (Whitey) Completely transfered to Ichigo, Not like an Infection which can spread to many people, but as a One to One transference. If this is true, then Isshin's Reiatsu transfered to Ichigo from Masaki. THIS would imply that Masaki was free of Whitey at Ichigo's birth.
3) Ichigo's manifestation of Zangetsu was a Quincy act, not a shinigami, not a hollow act.
4) Juha Bach kinds of resembles Zangetsu, but he has a squarer jaw and a Mustache.

Carrie Ethel Whitney Harrison (October 11, 1897--August 1, 1939)
The Whitney line for me was very interesting to follow. I was told as a child by my grandfather that on his side of the family, his heritage was African American, Cherokee, and Portuguese. I always wondered about this Portuguese blood he talked about. Was it true? This brings us to an email I received from my Grand Aunt Carrie after I reconnected with her since my youth. Here is the email.
Dear Andrea,
Thank you for the information you sent regarding the family tree. I am sure I could not have gathered as much info as you have provided. It is just amazing how Ancestry .Com obtain this information.
Thomas Duke Harrison resided at 1510 Lincoln Street, in New Bern. My father, John Harrison resided at 709 Browns Alley in New Bern. It is now changed to Browns Avenue.
I don't have any other information about my great grandmother, Amy Harris except she was living with my grandmother when she died.I was told my grandfather's father's family originally came from the Azores Islands through Bermuda. He worked on a fishing boat that provided seafood in North Carolina. They were Portuguese decent and spoke Portuguese fluently. Grandfather Samuel was very fair skin with light green eyes and reddish blond hair. My mother, your great grandmother, had his completion. He died long before I was born.
Take care.
Aunt Carrie
This was a mind blowing email to receive to say the least. More on my connection to the Azores tomorrow.

Corporate Governance and Competition Policy
Spencer Weber Waller
Loyola University of Chicago, School of Law - Institute for Consumer Antitrust Studies
George Mason Law Review, Vol. 18, No. 4, 2011
Corporate governance law addresses the misaligned incentives between officers and directors of publicly-owned companies and their shareholders and how this can lead to the destruction of shareholder value. Antitrust law governs the interaction between corporations and other economic actors in the marketplace and prohibits and penalizes anticompetitive agreements, unilateral conduct which unreasonably injures competition, and mergers and acquisitions which may substantially lessen competition.
This article explores the puzzling lack of meaningful interaction between these two fields of law which govern the internal and external operations of key economic players in our economy. While a handful of commentators have lamented the lack of a closer organic connection between these two bodies of law, most do not even notice. This article goes beyond the conventional disconnect and discusses how to create a more unified approach to two key area of business law in order to promote the interests of both shareholders and consumers in a more systematic and meaningful way.

My friend has a lot of liquor in her basement. Said liquor is in a lot of bottles just sitting on her counter.
These two pictures kind of show what color her counter tops are:
And, for fun, you alcoholics can look through the pictures and name all of the liquor in all the bottles.
When I went to visit her (Missoula, Montana) we picked out some quarter-sawn oak and some hard maple for me to make a bar riser/stepped shelf unit for her. Went to http://www.superior-hardwoods.com/ Superior Hardwoods and Millwork in Missoula. Not a huge stock, but good selection.
I'm making 2. 1 with 2 steps, long and 1 with 3 steps, shorter. I am at the point with the 2 stepper that I need to start thinking about finishing it. Here is where I am at. I just need now to sand all the corner parts, add the dowel accents, then join and finish.
I want to kind of dye the wood, since right now it's kind of plain, and I want to bring out the grain.
I have purchased these as options:
I am going to add a few drops of whatever to this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and sand and then finish with this:
Right now, I'm thinking of making the maple shelves just a liiiitttttle bit yellowish with the honey amber, and then the faces of the oak a light brownish. Maybe even go dark brown, sand it down so that only the end-grain patterns still have pigment, and then go over it all again with the light brown, sand, and then seal.
Anyone have any opinions?

A Closer Look at the Brewing Equipment
Does the type of espresso machine or grinder you use affect the taste of your coffee?. Let's take a look at some of the equipment that is available and how it can influence the results of your brewing experiment. You may be surprised how something as simple as the type of grinder you use can impact your overall experience.
The Coffee Grinder
We have discussed coffee grinders here in the past and defined what a weight-measuring coffee grinder can do. Now I'm going to tell you a seldom revealed astonishing fact; the quality of the coffee grinder directly affects the taste and crema of the espresso!
For instance you can experiment starting with a very good semi-automatic espresso machine like the Gaggia Classic. Make espresso shots using grounds of the same coffee from various coffee grinders like a low-end burr grinder, then go up in quality to a better home burr grinder, then to a prosumer-commercial burr grinder and on to a high end commercial conical burr grinder. You will actually notice how much better the espresso is using coffee grounds from each coffee grinder!
In keeping with the spirit of our espresso-as-science experiment and the ability to be consistent, we had talked about the very good Baratza Vario-W 986 Coffee Grinder.
The next step up, in my opinion, would be a prosumer-commercial grade machine like the Ceado E37S Coffee Grinder, which is a programmable dosing grinder that has amazing burrs and will give you a better espresso because of the burrs and the design of the grinder. It also lets you program the dose electronically based on grind time. So again, you can be consistent in the amount of coffee you use.
The next step up to a commercial grade machine may seem like a little much for home use; however, a great choice would be the Mazzer Kony as it has conical burrs and it is also available in an electronic version for producing consistent doses of coffee grounds. This coffee grinder or any commercial conical burr coffee grinder would permanently end any further need to upgrade your coffee grinder. A coffee grinder like this will absolutely give you the best chance of making a truly superior espresso.
Looking at the coffee grinder as one of the controllable variables in our espresso-as-science experimenting, we find that selecting the best grinder we can afford is one thing we can change and get a predictable result. That is, if we keep everything else the same: tamp, amount and type of coffee, and the size of the shot, then adjusting the grind and tasting the result of the shot will determine what grinder and grind fineness setting will give us the best tasting results.
For most people the grinder and grind settings would be the variable that would give them very noticeable results quickly.
The Espresso Machine
So far we have looked at many of the variables involved in making great espresso. Another variable is the espresso machine. Many espresso aficionados consider the espresso machine to be the most important one. I do somewhat agree that the machine is an important part of producing quality espresso.
With the correct machine you have the potential to make a great tasting shot of espresso. I say potential because so many factors go into making a great espresso. Many of these factors are going to be based on the user's knowledge and skill at crafting an espresso from what they have to work with. Again, if we look at this as a science experiment, one of the factors that can be controlled if you have the proper machine is the brewing water temperature.
Espresso coffee taste will vary considerably when brewed at different temperatures. I always tell people about wine and how to relate wine temperature and how it affects wine almost the same as coffee. Actually wine and coffee have many similarities as far as how they are cupped, tasted and have different characteristics based on where they are grown and even how good or bad the growing season was.
Back to temperature and wine; If you order a really good bottle of white wine somewhere and it is kept in the beer cooler at near freezing, you know when you get that wine it will only taste cold. It is not at the proper temperature for the wine to let you in on all the nuances and flavors the vintner has worked so hard to get in that great bottle of wine. As the wine warms up and gets to the proper temperature for serving then you start to notice the flavors of the wine such as oaky, fruity, flowery, and all the other great descriptions of the wine.
Coffee is the same way. Temperature plays a very large roll in how exactly the espresso will taste. The whole idea of looking at this as a science experiment is to learn how you can control many of the variables in making espresso. Having a machine where you can control temperature is a huge advantage at being able to make an espresso that may be the best you have ever had.
Spending your money on the right equipment will give you the potential to make an espresso shot that is downright amazing. The ability to control temperature is going to let the espresso have different tastes. You may be able to pick out chocolate, berry, caramel, fruit and also something like currants. Notice the similarity to wine descriptions.
If you invest in a machine that allows you to control the brewing water temperature, like one of my favorites the Expobar Brewtus IV Espresso Machine, and you keep all the other variable parameters consistent, you will get to the point where you know exactly the temperature that will yield the best tasting espresso coffee.
Having an espresso machine that will brew at exact temperatures will certainly help us in our quest to make the perfect shot. Since our love of espresso coffee and our ability to be scientists should have a goal and a plan to get there, I will discuss how this all ties together in Part Three of espresso as science and perhaps reveal what this all means!

Chris Paul sat out Sunday for the fourth consecutive game and for the seventh time in nine contests because of a bruised right kneecap, which meant Eric Bledsoe replaced him as the Clippers' starting point guard for the fourth straight game and the seventh time in nine contests.
It's uncertain when Paul will be sound enough to practice or play, with coach Vinny Del Negro saying there was no timetable for his return to active duty. Paul was injured when he knocked knees with J.J. Redick of the Orlando Magic on Jan. 12.

I like the tribal/boho style anyway, so these shoes are perfect. Plus they are comfortable. I wore them the whole time I danced at prom and there were no problems. I got a lot of compliments too."

Neal Spencer, British Museum
Following months of planning, preparation and travel it is always a relief to start work – but also rather unusual in that the initial days of excavation are very different from later in the season.
In the town, we must first remove deep layers of sand that have accumulated in the houses we partly excavated last year. There are no finds or pottery in these deposits so there is little recording and a fair bit of waiting before we reach real archaeology.
In two of the small houses, we are already down on earlier clean clay floors, with the remnants of a cooking hearth in the middle room of each house. It is likely that further occupation phases lie beneath.
A trench inside the southwestern corner of the wall is proving a little frustrating. Here, the buildings have been badly damaged by digging for clay, so there are deep pits filled with clean sand.
Only a few fragments of walls have appeared so far, despite over 20 men and six wheelbarrows working seven hours a day to remove the sand! Sandbags are needed to keep up the trench sides.
In cemetery C, the team has revealed a number of small graves with niches for burials, but thus far all have been robbed, with only jumbled skeletal remains and fragments of pottery remaining. The robbers missed one nice object in Grave 220 – a faience scaraboid with a representation of Thoth as a baboon in place of the usual beetle form.
Another reason that the start of the season is unusual is that the daily rhythm has yet to crystalise – many of us are still setting up systems for later in the season (including a new electricity supply!), ordering and obtaining equipment from the town of Abri, while also trying to integrate new workmen into our digging system – we've hired 38 men this season.

Israel's Shufersal chain says a Retalix 10 system helps run cross-channel promotions.
Among the buzz from technology vendors these days is the rise of systems that support both e-commerce and in-store point-of-sale networks. At the annual convention last week of the National Retail Federation, a retail industry trade group, several companies talked up having a single system for maintaining consistent records of customer transactions and available inventory across multiple retail channels of store, web, mobile and contact center.
The new technology systems come from vendors including Retalix Inc., Microsoft Corp. and a joint effort of IBM Corp. and Toshiba Global Commerce solutions. Few retailers are reporting deployment and results yet. But Israel-based grocery chain Shufersal, that country's largest retailer by number of stores and sales, according to business research firm Dun & Bradstreet Israel Ltd., says it is using the new Retalix 10 system from Retalix Inc. so that it can keep promotions and pricing consistent across its online and offline retail channels, including self-service as well as manned checkout lines in stores.
The system provides real-time updates of shoppers' purchasing activity across retail channels, enabling the retailer to show the most appropriate promotional offers for each customer. That also ensures the retailer keeps the offers consistent in stores as well as online after a shopper checks in with an identifier such as a loyalty card or e-mail address.
"In deploying Retalix 10, it was very important for us to be able to present our customers with uniform pricing and promotions" across retail channels, says Zvika Fishimer, chief information officer of Shufersal, which operates 279 stores and the Shufersal Yashir e-commerce site. "This was made possible through Retalix's innovative system, which records all shopper activity throughout the Shufersal chain in a consolidated data repository, enabling us to deliver a uniquely personalized shopper experience, regardless of the specific channel via which customers perform their purchases."
Prior to Retalix 10, which Shufersal deployed in the fall of 2011, combining information on customer purchasing across retail channels "could only be achieved via complex and costly integration, and even that couldn't always assure real-time operation," Fishimer says.
Brad Prizer, vice president of global marketing for Retalix, says Retalix 10 operates as a single commerce platform for multiple retail channels. This also enables, for example, a store clerk to receive a customer's returned item, then instantly use the point-of-sale terminal to order a replacement product from a warehouse stocked with products for online sale to ship to the customer's home address.
Industry analysts say such cross-channel capability is what's needed to support true "omnichannel" retailing, the trendy term used to describe a retail system that lets consumers engage with a retailer in any way they prefer to shop. "My standard for true omnichannel commerce is to be able to do a return of a store purchase that could be replaced by shipping to my house from an online channel distribution center, all done via a POS register in a store," says Nikki Baird, managing partner of research and advisory firm Retail Systems Research. She adds that she has not confirmed such capability in Retalix 10. "When that can be done in one fell swoop, without requiring five employees and three POS registers and an iPad, then that's omnichannel."
Other retail technology platforms offering store POS more closely tied to e-commerce platforms include the TCxGravity system introduced last week by Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions. Offering a browser-based interface on the POS terminal, the TCxGravity system links customer transactions in stores, on the web, through mobile devices and via contact centers, enabling retailers to record how customers are shopping across its channels and plan cross-channel merchandising and promotions based on customers' shopping behavior, says Steven Ladwig, president and CEO of Toshiba Global Commerce.
Integrated with IBM's Sterling Commerce order management system, TCxGravity also allows a retailer to fulfill orders from any source of inventory, including a retail chain's stores as well as any of its distribution centers, Toshiba says.
Microsoft Corp.'s Dynamics for Retail system is built on a single commerce engine that also supports cross-channel retailing, including maintaining customer purchasing records across channels and coordinated cross-channel merchandising and promotions, says Michael Griffiths, Microsoft's global product industry director. The system lets retailers develop a promotion that can be deployed simultaneously across multiple channels, including e-commerce sites, store POS terminals, mobile devices and contact centers, while also maintaining real-time updates of single records of customer transactions and inventory availability in each retail channel, Microsoft says.
While Retalix, Toshiba, IBM and Microsoft are geared toward serving mid-size and larger retailers, other vendors including CoreSense and NetSuite Inc. offer integrated e-commerce and POS systems for smaller and mid-tier companies. NetSuite recently acquired Retail Anywhere POS to provide an integrated e-commerce and POS technology suite.

Sherry married Catherine Falsone on April 12, 1969 in Price, Utah after meeting on the corner of 100 East and Main, and she will always maintain that he was her "Fresh Prince". Although they never had any children, their love and support was shared with many.
Survived by his wife, Catherine Judd, Price; step-father, Clyde Petersen, Spring Glen; three brothers, James Lee Kearns, Alpine, Robert L. Judd, Price, Thomas A.(Mary Lou) Judd, West Valley; sisters-in-law, Mary Ann Milano, Spring Glen, Carolyn (John) Kantor, Price and Marianna Grosz; brother-in-law, Charles S. Falsone, Price; aunts Margie Greenland, Layton, Maybelle Miller, Lodi, CA; and his loving nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Funeral service, Wednesday, June 16, 2010, 10:00 a.m., Mitchell Funeral Home (233 East Main Street) Price. Family will be at Mitchell's Tuesday evening from 7:00-8:00 p.m. and Wednesday one hour prior to service. Interment, Mt. View Cemetery, Helper.
