Grayson County, Texas Record Dates
The first courthouse was constructed in 1847 and torn down in 1858.
This old photograph had this statement attached; "I, J.P. Loving, do hereby certify that the above photograph is a true picture of the first court house built in the present town of Sherman, Texas, and that it was customary for juries trying cases in said court house to retire to the shade of the old Pecan tree, then standing on the public square to consider their verdict" signed Jesse P. Loving.
The pecan tree he mentioned was used as a bank of sorts. People would hang their saddlebags and other personal property on or under the old pecan tree and they knew everything would be safe on their reurn. Even bags of gold were left there undisturbed. No one is ever known to have violated the sanctity of this 'bank'.
Grayson County is located at the top of Texas and is home to the famed Preston Road. This road was a major pioneer road, crossing the Red River into Texas. Just to the east of the Preston Road was the Shawnee Trail, the first cattle drive road in Texas. This cattle trail crossed the Red River in a natural rock formed cattle shute and herds passed through the Indian Nations in Oklahoma to reach the railheads in Kansas.The Butterfield Overland Mail route also passed through Grayson county, this land was a vital link for pioneers entering the West.
Above is an Old Bois d' Arc Tree in a field of Indian Blanket Flowers. This area of Texas is a rich land, beautiful with rolling hills, prairie grasses; native pecan, oak, hackberry, elms, black walnut, chinaberry, blackjack, and more, and of course our famous Bois d'arc trees forrest the land.
Bois d'arc trees were a cash crop in the 1800's, used as a windbreak and a living livestock fence, this tree originated in Grayson County and its neighbor to the east, Fannin County, Texas and is one of the few trees left in the world that is prehistoric. It was ironic for the American Soldiers from Texas to have to break through the Bois d'arch hedges of France and Germany in WWI and WWII. Every one of the trees that impeded our tanks and troops, came from 'back home'. This tree is called by many names, hedgeapple, horseapple, Texas orange, Osage Orange, ironwood and other names. It was of course named for its main historical use, 'Wood of the Bow'. Bows made of Bois d'arc wood were found anciently deep in South America. The Natives traded the bows and the wood far and wide.
Grayson County is home to the two Americans' to receive France's highest honor, and the French Legion of Honor. Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was born in Denison, Grayson County and Thomas V. Munson, who saved Europe's grape and wine industry by his research and development of using grafts of our Texas native grapevine stock to save them from extinction.
Lake Texoma, one of largest reservoirs in the United States was a project involving placing a large dam just North of Denison,Texas in the 1940's and is a very popular vacation spot today. It is the home of two wildlife habitats. This lake ended most of the flooding from the Red River.
Grayson County is a beautiful place to live.

BowmoreSingle Malt Whisky
The distillery passed through four owners before 1963, when it was bought by the Morrison family, who sold to the Japanese whisky company Suntory in 1994.
Distillery History
One of the oldest in Scotland, Bowmore Distillery was established in 1779 by local merchant David Simson.
Simson moved to the new village of Bowmore from Killarow around 1766. He was a farmer, a merchant, a postmaster, a sailor and most memorably – a whisky distiller. His arrival coincided with the expansion of the village after Daniel Campbell The Younger, the Laird of Islay, decided to build Bowmore as the island's capital.
The first recorded mention of the distillery was in 1779, the first on Islay, but it is believed to have started soon after David's arrival in 1766. He was a pioneer - he built the distillery, distilled the whisky and introduced the new famous Islay whisky to the world.
The distillery was later taken over by James Mutter and his family. Mutter, as well as being a farmer and distiller had the unlikely role of Ottoman, Portuguese and Brazilian Vice-Consul in Glasgow.
James Mutter considerably expanded the distillery and as the Bowmore name began to travel, demand grew. The family kept the distillery until 1887 when it was sold to John Sherriff of Campbeltown and became the Bowmore Distillery Company. In 1963 the distillery was acquired by Stanley P. Morrison. Although Morrison substantially rebuilt and renovated much of the distillery he retained the original floor maltings and traditional whisky production methods which are still in use to this day.
The distillery today is owned by Morrison Bowmore Distillers. After having been part-owned by Suntory Ltd of Japan for some years, Morrison Bowmore was purchased outright by Suntory in 1994.
Character and Style of Bowmore

404 error not found pages
In this article we'll discuss the possible impact from the handling of 404 errors. These are caused by requests to pages or resources that don't exist on the server.
By default a lot of the applications you might install on your website, will try to process requests for a page that doesn't exist dynamically.
What this can mean, is each time someone mistypes a URL, your application is going to query the database to try to figure out if that page exists, and if it doesn't it's going to serve up a page not found error to the visitor.
In most cases this type of default 404 error page activity is completely harmless. However as the amount of 404 error pages you're forcing the server to think about increases, it can become more and more problematic.
Causes of 404 errors
Let's take a look at some of the most common reasons a 404 error might be generated.
- A visitor tries to manually type in a page that doesn't exist.
- Your pages were not internally or externally linked correctly in the first place.
- Resources such as images, .css, .js, or other files were removed from the server.
- One of your pages was moved, and links either internal or external weren't updated.
- Search engine crawlers, or automated bots try to access generic pages that your site doesn't have.
404 error page handling
A good webmaster will want to periodically check on their website statistics to see what requests are generating the most 404 errors.
You can use this information to your advantage, as lets say for example you notice 500 people a month are trying to pull up a page called /about that doesn't exist. You can go ahead then and create that page, or setup re-direction on that URL to hopefully get them pointed in the right direction and have them remain on your site during future visits.
Viewing 404 errors via Awstats
- You can view your 404 errors via Awstats from within cPanel.
Once you're logged into Awstats, if you simply scroll to the very bottom of your statistics report, you should see the total number of 404s encountered and what percentage of your traffic that represents.
Then simply click on the 404 link to see the actual requests triggering these errors.
- In this example you can clearly see that the URL /directory/search-all.php is by far the biggest cause of the 404 errors on this site.
You can also see that there are several resources such as .css stylesheets and .png and .gif images that are missing.
Note the Referrer of these resources, as those would be the pages with the invalid links to these files that don't exist.
Creating static custom 404 error pages and handling excessive requests
Now that we've seen a little bit about what a 404 error is, you might wish to dive deeper and configure a custom 404 error page to help steer your visitors to other sections of your site when then try to access a page that doesn't exist.
Or if you're having problems with too many 404 errors causing performance issues a static 404 error page can help with this as well. All of the following articles go more in-depth on handling 404 errors and would be recommended reading for anyone looking to get the total big picture on 404 error handling.

My Pages Not Found today lists 368 type 404 errors. 146 were from one IP. It is an education network which of course does not identify its clients Many users would not be particularly familiar with the stringent naming systems in internet activity. 71 are .js files and 47 are .css files; these do not exist on my web page. So there can be systematic (i.e. big) errors "out there" that result in attempts to find files that do not exist on one's website.

Hello Michael, and thank you for your comment.
If you are experiencing a large amount of 404 errors from a particular IP address, or a particular User-Agent string, you could use some .htaccess deny rules to block their access.
If you are seeing a large amount of requests for .js or .css files not being found, you might want to double-check to ensure the referring URL the user was on isn't making their web-browser try to request those non-existent files because of your HTML code itself.
You can also use .htaccess rules to block a particular page from being requested if you keep seeing the same one happen. For instance if the file 404.js kept getting requested, and you've verified it is not your code calling it, and that the file doesn't exist. You could then use this bit of code in your .htaccess file to deny any requests for it:
RewriteEngine On
Thanks again for your comment, and let us know if you have any questions at all!

batutbildningar necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 52 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
We are creating the largest portal in Sweden for all marine education courses such as navigation,sailing and boating in Sweden.
Hi guys,
We are looking for a user friendly website design including logo. The logo can be simple e.g. our name Båtutbildningar.se, combined with something that has to do with boating/ the ocean e.g. a compass or a barometer. We also need a graphic profile i.e. font(s) and colors.
We will remove the copy (almost all copy) on the home page (first page) and replace with listings of each course given by marine educational companies in Sweden. These listings will be sorted by location and course, when the course starts, how long the course is, when it takes place (weekdays, weekend, during evenings, during the day), what the cost is , grades from previous students etc. It will look something like this:
Course Start Date Duration When Price Grade etc
Navigation Feb 27, 2009 2 days Sat, Sun $300 3/5
Navigation Mar 1, 2009 4 days Sat, Sun $450 4/5
Course Start Date Duration When Price Grade etc
Sailing Feb 27, 2009 1 week W. days $1,300 3/5
Navigation Mar 1, 2009 2 days Sat, Sun $450 4/5
Users will be able to sort all these parameters. This information will be shown for each location in the tab "Sok Batutbildningar" and the information that you see there today (i.e. information on some of the marine educational companies in Sweden) will be shown below these detailed listings.
Best regards,
- A logo.
- An extremely user friendly website design of our home page and all other pages.
- A graphic profile (not business cards etc) but simply font(s) and colors.

Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the troll-responders deptWell, this is a first. We've had one comment take first place in the voting for both funniest and insightful before, but I believe that this is the first time that the top two comments in both lists were the same (and yes, in the same order). Neat. Also odd, but worth noting. Both comments were from anonymous commenters (who says anonymous commenting is a bad thing?), both came on Friday and both came in response to comments to the same anonymous commenter who seems slightly unstable in his seething, angry, often incomprehensible rants against us. Anyway, the absolute consensus for both funniest and most insightful comment this week was on the story about the MPAA's bizarre response to Jimmy Wales suggesting that the industry's failure to provide what consumers want was crazy talk. The AC made the situation quite clear:
Consumers: We would like to pay you for xThis is more accurate than you might imagine -- though the part about politicians actually understanding why the industry is having problems is a bit far-fetched.
Distributors: We don't want your stinking money.
Distributors: We aren't making as much money as we think we should be making.
Politicians: How about we pass laws effectively tax people but give you the proceeds.
Distributors: That's not enough.
Politicians: Well what do you want?
Distributors: We're spending a fortune trying to enforce copyright against the vast bulk of the global population.
Politicians: Ah, so that's why you're making less money.
Distributors: Well strictly speaking no, but if you're willing to believe that against all evidence, then why not.
Politicians: How about we take over the vast bulk of those costs that you are currently wasting on ineffective recourse to the law to fix a problem that isn't actually affecting you?
Distributors: Well, that's something but we still get the feeling that you're not really trying.
Consumers: WTF?
The comment that came in second place on both lists was in response to that same angry commenter, who insisted that I was wrong to suggest that a terms of use buried on the Olympics website somehow bound users not to link to the Olympics website, and demanded a full legal analysis for what is basic common sense. Before I could reply, this Anonymous Commenter succeeded in making the point clear:
By reading this comment you agree to be legally bound to immediately throw your computer out of the nearest window.As of the time I'm writing this (about 12 hours after the comment was made), that individual has not come back to comment. So, perhaps he was actually intellectually consistent for once and did, in fact, throw his computer out the window. I doubt it, though.
Moving on to editor's choice, we'll start with insightful, with another comment, this one from Jeremy Lyman, also in response to that same article about the MPAA's response to Jimmy Wales. Lyman pointed out that for all of the "services" the MPAA listed off as proof that they're responding to customer needs, the reality is a bit different.
Okay so we've got six studios with thousands of titles and we've got dozens of online streaming sources, lets match up which titles are on which services. Remember, the consumer has NO FRAKING IDEA why some shows are on some services but not on others.While we're on this theme, I'll also point to another Anonymous Coward's response on that same thread, pointing out that Jimmy Wales is in the UK, and every service the MPAA named does not provide the content he wants in the UK:
Connect the Title to the place you'd go you view it.
Terminator----------Amazon Streaming
Family Guy-----------Hulu
The Daily Show------HBO Go
All in the family------Vudu
Game of Thrones----Crackle
Shrek 3------------------UltraViolet
The Office--------------Epix
Batman Begins---------Mubi
Arrested Development----Torrent
It should not be this hard to figure out how to watch that you want to see. And I'm not subscribing to 10 different services even if I can figure it out. That's the barrier that Studios need to break down.
Hmmm...lets see, the guy is from London and the MPAA representative gave him the options below:If the MPAA wants to know why the online landscape pisses off so many people, they really need to spend some time reading and re-reading those two comments. But that won't ever happen.
Wikipedia quote:Currently, Hulu's content is only available in the United States and Japan with licensing reasons cited.
Hulu was planning on launching in the UK and Ireland in September 2009, but as of April 2010 these had been abandoned for the foreseeable future after failure to sign any content deals.
HBO Go:

Wikipedia quote:UltraViolet does not store files, and is not a "cloud storage" platform. The rights for purchased or rented content are stored on the service. UltraViolet only coordinates and manages the licenses for each account, but not the content itself. The content may be obtained in any way, in its standardized multi-DRM container format.

Wikipedia quote:Epix offers a companion video on demand service. In order to access online on-demand program content, subscribers must have a digital cable television receiver.

Quote from MUBI:amazing independent, international and classic movies and visit our curated cinemas. Stream for $1.99/film or an unlimited number with a $5.99/month subscription
I don't know about you guys, but I don't think it has Game of Thrones in there either.
Owned by Sony doesn't have the rights to show anything in the UK from HBO.
HBO owned by Time Warner.
Game of Thrones produced by HBO which in the UK have an exclusive contract with Sky Atlantic which may or may not show Game of Thrones ont their Sky Go(go.sky.com) website.
So there is not that much places to watch a show because studios keep making "exclusive" deals with other companies and so, those things keeps getting fragmented and nobody will sign up for 10 services to watch everything, I think they will just pirate that crap instead, which is the way to go me thinks.
Anyway, moving on to editor's choice for funny comments, I'll start with Torg's comment in response to a ridiculous column that suggested the failure of ACTA was a "cultural disaster." Torg explained why:
Cultural disaster is when the Visigoths overrun our borders and advance towards the capital, raping and killing any men, women or children that cross their path.And, finally, we've got Chris-Mouse responding to the fact that Lamar Smith and the House Judiciary Committee don't seem at all interested in engaging with the public:
Rome didn't have copyright, and look what happened to them. We have to learn from history!
There's a lobby group called 'The Public'? How much did they contribute to my campaign fund?Not enough, apparently. Not enough.

2 inmates killed in incident at Nebraska prison
Two inmates were killed and a number of others were injured Thursday during an incident at a Nebraska prison, according to an official.
Tecumseh State Correctional Institution corrections director Scott Frakes confirmed the deaths after staff members reported a fire set by inmates in a "mini-yard" connected to one of the housing units at 1 p.m. There were approximately 40 inmates there who refused to return to their cells, according to a news release.
Staff exited the dayroom "when it became clear it was unsafe," and secured the door leading to the rest of the housing unit.
The incident was contained to one half of the housing unit. Several altercations occurred between the inmates.
A decision was made to recall all staff assigned to the TSCI to report to work, and the NDCS emergency response teams were activated. At around 4:30 p.m., the emergency response teams entered the affected area and secured the housing unit.
Damage to the affected housing unit wasn't extensive, and the unit remains functional.
The facility was taken off lockdown procedure around 5:30 p.m.
A number of inmates suffered numerous non-life-threatening injuries. The names of the injured and deceased will not be released at this time.
"We've seen so many improvements over the last year and a half and I am proud of my team," Warden Hansen said. "This incident is a reminder that this is a dangerous business and we must remain vigilant as we keep people safe."
The Nebraska State Patrol is on site and conducting an investigation into the fires.
"Any loss of life is tragic," the release said. "The TSCI staff handled the situation extremely well, which limited the incident to a small number of participants and minimal damage. The public's safety was never compromised."
Gov. Pete Ricketts issued the following statement:
"Thanks to the action of our Corrections Officers and the State Patrol, the incident at TSCI was swiftly resolved and public safety was never at risk. Director Frakes will thoroughly investigate the incident, and inmates involved in the incident and the loss of life will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
There will be no visitors at TSCI through Sunday.
The prison in southeast Nebraska was the site of a May 2015 riot that injured several staff members, caused widespread damage and left two inmates dead.

80% of Financial Mobile App Users Want to Escape Self-Service, VHT Benchmark Study Reveals
80% of Financial Mobile App Users Want to Escape Self-Service, VHT Benchmark Study Reveals
AKRON, OH--(Marketwire - Oct 2, 2012) - According to a study commissioned by Virtual Hold Technology® (VHT®), a world leader in conversation strategies that bridge the self-service gap between customers and the people who can help, more than 80% of smartphone users with financial apps say they want a solution that enables them to easily and directly contact or request a callback from a customer service representative from their app without dialing a toll free number, starting all over, repeating account information or waiting on hold.
The study, conducted for VHT by The Adcom Group, takes a close look at consumers who use mobile apps to perform tasks in real-time. It uncovers the problems they encounter completing those tasks and also categorizes the behaviors that result. With one billion smartphones expected to be in use by 2016 and with financial apps being among the popular with consumers, it was important for VHT to investigate the brand perceptions that are a result of both positive and negative financial mobile app experiences.
"Customers using smartphones expect in-the-moment service, literally at their fingertips. But getting through to a real person who can help finish the conversation remains quite a challenge," said VHT CEO Wes Hayden. "Mobile apps offer new opportunities to enhance customer service, and VHT is uniquely positioned to solve this problem because, for more than a decade, our intelligent callback technology has been connecting customers who dead-end in self-service with the people who can help in contact centers."
VHT's mobile conversation strategy, created for businesses that care about customer relationships and brand image, helps customers achieve their goals more conveniently. The company's new multichannel Conversation Bridge platform provides callback with context for blending automation with the human touch. It gives today's customers the help they need at key touch points so brand interactions are seamless and therefore more satisfying. In addition, it provides companies with a simple and cost-effective tool for improving customer satisfaction.
About Virtual Hold Technology® (VHT®)
VHT's Conversation Bridge™ is a simple solution with huge impact that provides customers a consistent experience no matter how they try to contact you. VHT's intelligent callback solutions prepare businesses for next-generation communications channels, such as mobile apps and internet-connected TV consoles, by enabling context data to be passed from these channels to existing routing and screen-pop systems.

More CW in the Southwest this year
Looks like this year will see some more interesting titles dealing with the Civil War in the desert southwest. The Civil War in Arizona: The Story of the California Volunteers, 1861-1865 (June 2006) and Distant Bugles, Distant Drums: The Union Response to the Confederate Invasion of New Mexico (May 2006).
I am not familiar with the work of either author, but both books above join the upcoming Grant at Cairo book as Big 12 university press publications (Tigers, Sooners, and Buffaloes) so they can't be all bad.
2 comments:
These two look interesting. I can't remember ever seeing a Civil War book out of the University Press of Colorado.ReplyDelete
Dave Woodbury
In the middle 90s, they put out a revised edition of Monnett's "Action Before Westport". That's the only thing I remember them publishing that was CW related.

Thank you to Karen Lavery and all the Bluffton Rotary volunteers for your hard work and dedication bringing us the Bluffton Village Festival. Rotary does a lot of good with the money raised by this event, and so do the charities you kindly include.
We were so busy at our own booth we didn't get around to very many others but the ones we saw when we went for barbecue were very attractive. We thought we'd get a chance to go back and look more but we really were swamped at our own spot.
Thanks too, to all the Maranatha Farm volunteers, the "sea of blue shirts" who answered questions and gave good advice all day. Thanks to Pino Gelato for handing out a ton of free Italian ice cream. I think Yellow Jacket ate more of it than anybody. Ah, it was a great festival.

We sent three of our biggest Rooster Teeth fans out to cover their annual RTX con here in Austin, TX. Check out Jordan, Mike, and Joseph talking about the crazy video game, anime, and party stuff they did at this wonderful festival!
Written by Chris Cox
Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, in 1992 Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas, where ever since he's dabbled in everything from plumber's assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free, by becoming a critic on a local public access show called "The Reel Deal", turned into a full time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this paradise you see before you.

As we head into the Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of the summer travel season, families are feeling the pinch from high gas prices. Unfortunately, instead of pushing for real solutions to help Americans save money and drive our nation toward energy independence, the oil and gas industry lobby continues demanding more government handouts, including reckless development of our public lands and ending common sense protections for the land, water, and air on which American families and businesses depend. Responsible energy development means protecting the land, rivers, and lakes western states need for their outdoor recreation and tourism industries and that Americans enjoy on their Memorial Day weekend and summer vacations.
Outdoor recreation is a significant part of America's economy, contributing over $730 billion nationally. In 2010, more than 137.9 million Americans, age 6 or older, participated in at least one outdoor activity.
Moreover, access to public lands for drilling is not an issue. The simple truth is that the oil and gas industry has failed to develop 57 percent of its current leases as well as 7,200 permits where they have a green light to drill.
Outdoor recreation business leaders and user groups support responsible energy development. That way we can ensure Americans can continue to visit their favorite vacation spots on future Memorial Days and provide jobs to the of thousands of men and women who work in the outdoor recreation industry.

Access to drilling is simply not an issue on our public lands:
- Onshore drilling permits are expected to increase over 40% in 2011. (U.S. Dept. of Interior)
- Oil and gas companies have yet to develop 57 percent of their existing onshore leases nationally. (U.S. Dept. of Interior)
- Oil and gas companies yet to develop nearly 7,200 onshore oil and gas permits nationally where they have a green light to drill. (New York Times)
The United States is a world leader in oil and gas production
- The U.S. is the world's third largest producer of oil in the world, producing about 9.1 billion barrels of oil per day. (Energy Information Administration)
- The U.S. is the world's leading producer of natural gas, producing 26.2 billion cubic feet per year. (Energy Information Administration)
- More drilling rigs are located within the United States than all other countries in the world combined – U.S.: 1,830; Canada 143; all other countries, 1129. (Baker Hughes)
- Oil and gas companies receive over $15 billion in taxpayer subsidies each year. (Taxpayers for Common Sense)
- President Obama targeted $43 billion in taxpayer subsidies over 10 years in his FY12 budget proposal. (White House)
- While the U.S. does important significant levels of crude oil, the U.S. is now a net exporter of petroleum products and selling refined oil and diesel oil abroad. (Energy Information administration)

I saw this news story and thought it was worth posting.
Lepto used to be fairly rare but Washington state is having an increase in cases. They've had about a month straight of rain out there which probably doesn't help.
Leptospirosis is carried by rats and spread by their urine. I've also read that the vaccine is not 100% effective.
Rare, fatal disease showing up in Vashon Island dogs
By ERIC WILKINSON / KING 5 News
VASHON ISLAND, Wash. - Madalyn Marlatt's dog Goldie made another visit to the vet on Wednesday. He is slowly recovering from a frightening case of leptospirosis.
"He didn't eat, was real lethargic before I brought him here, and spent four days in the animal hospital," said Marlatt.
Veterinarians across Vashon Island are seeing a strange outbreak of the disease - the first reports here in about a quarter century.
Since just last month at least 11 dogs have contracted lepto. Two of them have died.
Dogs usually pick up the bacteria by drinking out of puddles contaminated with rodent urine.
Symptoms include red eyes, muscle aches, lethargy and vomiting, and the disease can kill quickly.
"Some of the dogs got pretty severe liver and kidney disease. One dog in particular the kidneys just shut down in like a two-day period," said Dr. Nell Coffman, of Fair Island Animal Clinic.
Health officials aren't exactly sure how or why the outbreak happened on Vashon Island but they are concerned because the disease can be spread to humans.
Veterinarians across King, Pierce and Snohomish counties have treated dozens of lepto cases over the past 18 months.
And while no human cases have been reported, the disease can cause serious liver and kidney damage in people and in rare cases prove deadly.
"So you need to protect yourself and your family from contact with your dog's urine. So, if your dog has an accident and you have to clean it up -- put some rubber gloves on, protect yourself and wash your hands afterwards," said Dr. Jane Koehler of Seattle-King County Public Health.
In the meantime, veterinarians say watch for those symptoms and don't wait to get your dog to a doctor.
Health officials think a spike in the rat population on Vashon Island may be contributing to the outbreak. They advise people everywhere to keep dog and bird food out of reach of rodents.

I don't really remember her since she died in 1967. I was three. I have vague recollections of a white (or really light) piano, but that's about it. I've heard things from my mother, of course. I know she was one of fifteen children born to Clifford & Emily McLaughlin. She was child number six, daughter number two. She was born in Steuben, Illinois and came to California to take care of an aunt. She got married on April 9th in Yuma, Arizona to Chester J. Doran. They lived (and died) in Colton, California.

October 21, 2008
Religion and Politics – two facets of life mixed constantly and with great controversy were the subject of the 2008 Eric Dean Lecture in Religion on Monday evening. Emory University Associate Professor of New Testament and Christian Origins Michael Brown outlined his thoughts behind the role of politics in the Early Catholic Church to a packed crowed in Center Hall room 216.
Dr. Stephen H. Webb '83, a close friend of Dr. Brown's and the person who selected him for the lecture, noted the person selected usually has a strong connection to Wabash.
"(Dr. Brown) taught at Wabash for four years," Webb said. "He was a very popular teacher here on tenure track. Then Emory University came in and swept him away with a very nice offer he couldn't refuse. Michael has stayed loyal to, is interested in and cares deeply for Wabash. He's one of my best friends."
Brown's lecture was a small portion of a larger project he calls 'Living Together,' which focuses on how Christians and non-Christians in the first four centuries of the Common Era got along. This specific talk analyzed how Christians functioned as a part of the larger civic community as well as what role Christians played in shaping that community.
At the beginning of the talk, Brown noted that his lecture was, in many ways, him "thinking out loud." After the talk, three Wabash professors (Drs. Brouwer, Royalty and Webb) helped Dr. Brown with his ideas by engaging in a rigorous dialogue about the ideas he posited. Dr. Brewer was impressed with the overall organization of Dr. Brown's lecture.
"I thought it was an amazingly well organized talk," said Dr. Mark Brouwer. "In spite of his claim that he was just rambling, I thought he had a very interestingly, if not fully developed in this lecture thesis.
He's someone who's thinking philosophically about actual writings and actual people in a way that I find it exciting precisely in so far as it makes old books relevant in a way that is rigorous."
Students who attended, such as sophomore Adam Brasich, appreciated the dialogue between the professors.
"I thought that the lecturer gave a very vivid description of the shift in the view of poverty and community in the early Christian community," said Brasich. "The vigorous back-and-forth of the Q&A session following the lecture definitely helped clarify the lecturer's position.
He certainly provided a viewpoint and material that probably wouldn't have been available on campus otherwise. I was extremely pleased by the amazing turnout and by the fact that so many students came out to listen to what he had to say."

The majority of US citizens think that undocumented immigrants in the United States should be deported, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday.
The online survey demonstrates the difficulties facing lawmakers regarding their plans for comprehensive immigration reform.
The survey results show that 30 percent of respondents believe most illegal immigrants, with some exceptions, should be deported.
Some 23 percent believe all illegal immigrants should be deported.
The poll shows 75 percent of Republicans think all or most undocumented immigrants should be deported, compared to 40 percent of Democrats who think the same.

"It's not Americans' views that are shifting. It is that the political climate is ripe for this discussion," said Ipsos pollster Julia Clark.
"Democrats feel that the time is right to capitalize on their wins and Republicans feel that they had a bad blow and are eager to reach out to Hispanics," she added.
Polls show that most Americans are in support of immigration reform, however they disagree on the different elements of proposed reform.
Wednesday's Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted Friday through Tuesday and surveyed 1,443 Americans over the age of 18.
In last week's State of the Union address Obama emphasized the importance of creating a clear path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally.

Hi everyone,
I'm able to secure an 2nd round interview for a MSL role. I will meet with people from business unit.
But I am not sure what kind of questions will I expect from business people?
Shall I prepared questions related to the sales and marketing, like the role of MSL in this part? Or.. anything else? I guess the purpose of this interview is to see whether I have a "business" mindset? If so,how they will evaluate it?
I would greatly appreciate it if you kindly share your experience and thoughts.
Thanks a lot!!

This layout was SO fun to do! It is one of my favorites to date. It was inspired by the Hodge Podge Challenge hosted by Liz from Paislee Press earlier this month. The challenge was to create a "Mosaic" layout. Many of you have sent me emails inquiring as to how I made it, so I thought I would just do a tutorial on it. 🙂 So get comfy… there are a lot of screen shots on this one. hahaha. But I wanted to make sure that even beginners in Photoshop could follow along. Here is the layout we will be creating…
1. Once I had a new document open and had chosen my paper (see instructions on how to do this in the BASICS of Creating a New Layout tutorial), I used these Paper Blocks by emily merritt… (although i don't think thery're still available) for the base of my "mosaic" photo arrangement. I used the layered version of these so that I could clip a separate photo to each square.
Here is what your layers palette will look like once you get your paper blocks onto your layout. (NOTE: The layer for the first square (top left corner) will be at the bottom of the layer list.)
2. Now choose the photo you would like to use and place it on your layout:
NOTE: You can certainly use a color photo, but i changed mine to black and white fearing that the different colors in the photo would look crazy once there were so many copies of the photo all scrunched together. 🙂
When you see the line between "1" and "2" get darker, release your mouse and your photo layer should pop into place between the two.
Now that your photo is in between Layer "1" and "2", you will notice that you can now see all of the blocks EXCEPT the very first one because it is still behind your photo.
4. Now, before we get started with clipping our photos to the blocks, let's go ahead and duplicate our photo layer so that we can save it for the larger photo that we will be working with later. To do this, right-click on your photo layer and choose Duplicate Layer…
5. To sort of get it out of our way for now, go ahead and click and hold this layer and drag it to the bottom and click on the little eyeball next to the layer. This will make it invisible.
6. Now let's "clip" our photo to the first block. Place your cursor on the line between your photo layer and your "1" layer. Press and hold your ALT key (your cursor should change in shape). Once you see your cursor change in shape, simply click. This will clip your photo to the block as shown below. Now you should be able to see the outline of your photo. Click on the bottom right corner of this outline, press and hold your SHIFT key and drag the corner inward to resize your photo to fit inside the block.
7. You can continue to resize and even move your photo around so that the subject of your photo is positioned in the block as desired. Now you can see your photo in the shape of your block:
8. Now, since we have our photo resized to fit inside these little blocks, let's simply duplicate that photo layer so that all we have to do is clip it to another block and move it around. So, again… right-click on your photo layer and choose Duplicate Layer… You will notice two things once you do that. 1.) You will now see the edges of your photo on top of the block, and 2.) your layers palette will duplicate this layer UNclipped. This is good… this is what we want.
9. So we will now click on the duplicated layer of our photo and drag and drop it right above layer "2". Now you can see that the photo is above block # 2.
11. Now just click on the photo to move it around within the 2nd block so that it doesn't look exactly like the 1st block. Continue to repeat those steps of duplicating, clipping, and moving around on several blocks. I also flipped my photo in a few of the blocks just to give it that much more of a varied appearance. To do this, go to Edit and choose Transform and then Flip Horizontal.
This is what we have so far…
12. Now… admittedly, I'm not the most patient scrapper in the world. hahaha. So after repeating these steps (even with an action) about 9 times, I grew a little weary. So, I sort of took a little shortcut here. First, on my layers palette, I clicked on layer "10" of my blocks and then scrolled up and holding down my SHIFT key I clicked on layer "42" (the last block) and then chose Delete.
13. That left me with my 9 photo blocks. Back on my layers palette, I clicked on "1" and scrolled up and holding down my SHIFT key, I clicked on the clipped photo for layer "9". This chose all 9 of my blocks + their clipped photos.
14. Then I right-clicked on the highlighted layers and chose Duplicate Layers. Then, using my move tool (and keeping the duplicated layers highlighted) I simply clicked on one of the photo blocks and moved them all down underneath the original 9 blocks.
15. That looked a little too repetitious to me, so again, keeping the layers highlighted, I went to Edit and chose Transform and then Flip Horizontal. Since all of the layers were active, this flipped all 9 layers. This looked a little more varied to me.
16. Then I simply continued duplicating and flipping until my blocks went all the way down the page. Since there were so many blocks now, this only took a couple of times repeating the steps, saving lots of time. 😉
18. You can either name the group immediately when the Grouping Dialog box pops up, or later you can double-click on the name of the group and rename it.
19. Ok… now it's time for the brushes behind all of our photo blocks. First step here is to add a new layer BELOW your photo blocks. You can either add a new layer and drag it underneath your photo blocks, or you can click on your photo blocks layer and hold down your CTRL key while clicking the new layer icon… this will automatically place your new layer underneath.
20. Now choose your Brush tool from your tools palette. (You can also press B on your keyboard to activate this tool.)
22. Ok, now let's choose the color we would like for our brush stroke to be. Click on your Foreground Color box and choose a color. Then click OK.
23. Now, position your brush outline on your layout so that you can see the entire outline. (If part of the outline is going off of the page, then your brush will be cut off.) Now simply click to stamp your brush onto your layout.
24. To move your brush stroke around, choose your Move Tool from your tools menu (or hit V on your keyboard). Then click anywhere on the bounding box of the brush to make a solid line. Then, move your cursor out to the side just a bit until your cursor changes from a double-sided STRAIGHT arrow to a double-sided CURVED arrow. This will now allow you to rotate your brush. Here, I just wanted to make the brush vertical. So to ensure that it's not crooked when you get it vertical, just hold down your SHIFT key while you rotate your brush. This will turn it at even intervals so that it stays straight.
25. Once it's vertical, simply click the Check Mark at the top of your screen (or hit Enter on your keyboard) to accept the command.
I also flipped it horizontally so that the more solid side of the top was visible for clipping my photo.
26. So, here's where that duplicated layer of the large photo comes in handy. Go to your layers palette and click on the eyeball of your large photo layer. Then, drag your brush layer underneath your photo layer.
27. Now, repeat step #6 above to clip your photo to your brush layer.
28. I wanted my photo to coordinate with the color of my brush stroke. So to acheive this, go to Image and choose Adjustments and then Variations.
29. Once your Variations window pops up, make sure Midtones is chosen and then perform the steps noted on the screen shot below and then click OK:
Now our photo has a nice orangy-tint to it.
30. To give the photo blocks a bit more interest, we will tint these photos as well. We have 2 options here. You can follow the Variations steps as noted above. OR.. to save yourself some time… if you are using Photoshop CS, you can grab this Photo Tinting action I made to create this layout for FREE!. 🙂 Just click on the image to grab yours now! (This action is not compatible with Photoshop Elements. 🙁 It has only been tested in photoshop CS)
34. Open your Actions Window. (If you do not see your Actions palette, go to Window and click on Actions.)
36. Choose the desired tint and simply press Play. Then watch your photo change.
37. Continue to click on different photos and playing your action to change the tints. I actually did not go in order when choosing my photo blocks. I clicked on them randomly and placed a different tint on each so that there would be no ryhme or reason to it… again, giving the mosaic a bit more variety.
Now, although I loved the look of this when I was done, the tints that normally make me happy simply seemed a bit to bright for the paper I was using and seemed to sort of get lost. So I took a couple of extra steps here to give them an overall darker feel.
39. Then, right-click on your duplicated group and choose Merge Group. This will combine all of the layers in your group into one single layer. Then add a BASIC drop shadow. (NOTE: Be sure to keep your drop shadow very subtle or the blocks will appear to be floating on the page.)
40. Now, you could simply use your Variations to make this layer darker. However, I chose to clip a gray peice of paper onto the layer and change my blending modes. This just seemed to keep the highlights and shadows of the photo nicely contrasted as opposed to making the overall image darker. So, chose your desired paper and follow step #6 to clip your paper to your photo block layer. Then change the blending mode of the paper to Soft Light. Then duplicate that layer and change the blending mode to Color Burn.
42. Go to Image and choose Adjustments and then Levels.
43. When your Levels dialog box pops up, simply slide the levers back and forth until you get a look you are happy with.
44. Ok… we are almost done. Now it's time to add all of the fun and colorful brush strokes behind the mosaic blocks. Add a new layer underneath your existing brush stroke layer.
45. Choose your Brush Tool from your tools menu and choose your desired color.
46. Choose your desired brush.
47. Making sure the new layer you just added is active, position the outline of your brush as desired and click to stamp the brush onto your layout.
48. Now, simply continue to choose different brushes and colors to place more brushes… in this case, making sure to keep them all behind your photo blocks and showing only enough of the edges of the brush to reveal a small pop of color.
49. Now simply add some text, a title, and a maybe a couple of elements and you are done.

The Bisons refused to go down without a fight, a resiliency that they have shown all season despite their 5-11 record.
In the ninth the Bisons scored eight runs on eight hits, including a two-run home run by Ryan Wilkins to left field and a three-run homer by T.J. Hoelzer to right field. It was a big inning for Hoelzer who opened the inning with a single to left.
Hoelzer, making his first appearance of the season, tied for the team lead in hits with three. He led the Bisons in runs batted in with four. Tyler Wilson also had three hits from his leadoff spot including a home run.
The runs were a team season high as well as the 20 hits. It was the first time the Bisons have had 20 hits in a game since May 25, 2008 when they pounded out 20 against Gardner-Webb.
Middle Tennessee used seven pitchers against the Bisons. Kevin Whittaker, who pitched the fifth inning, was the winner.
Middle Tennessee struck for four runs in both the first and second innings and five more in the third to set the pace for the game at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium. They added one in the fourth and four more in the eighth.
The Bisons chipped away from the beginning scoring two runs in the first, one in the third, two in the fifth and one each in the sixth and seventh before the ninth inning explosion.
The 18 runs were the most scored against the Bisons this season in a game. The 19 hits allowed tied for the season high. The Bisons gave up 19 against Michigan in a 17-14 loss Saturday in Conway, S.C.
Freshman left-hander Chris Nunn started on the mound for the Bisons, his second start of the season. He threw 2.1 innings and scattered nine hits. He gave up 12 runs, all earned for his first loss of the season. He walked five and struck out four.
Senior right-hander Matt Bowling pitched 1.2 innings and gave up six hits and two runs, both earned. Freshman left-hander Blake Fonfara allowed three hits and three runs, all earned. He struck out one. Junior right-hander Mike Grace threw two-thirds of an inning. He gave up one hit and one run, earned. He walked one and struck out two. Junior left-hander Alex Ross closed the game with a scoreless and hitless inning. He struck out two.
The Bisons open Atlantic Sun Conference play this weekend at Belmont. Game times Friday and Saturday are at 3 p.m. Sunday's game starts at 1. All three games will be played at Shelby Park.

"Did you want to try it?" they asked me.
Uh. Yes, please.
As I got behind the wheel, they offered me advice, telling me I really needed to mash my foot on the brake, that I should move my seat forward a little more, that I shouldn't be shy about pounding the gas pedal.
I stopped at the end of the long straight away with my heart pounding in my chest. I depressed the "Launch Control" button and pushed the brake pedal with my left foot. At the same time, I pushed the gas pedal all the way to the floor with my right foot. When I hit 2,200 rpm on the tachometer, I quickly took my foot off the brake while continuing to press the gas pedal to the floor.
My heart skipped a beat as the vehicle roared to life, pouncing forward and pushing me back into my seat.
Too soon, I was slamming on the brakes and heading back to pit lane.
As I exited the vehicle, the adrenaline was still rushing through my veins. A guy in an SRT shirt comes running up after me, shouting: "You did that in 3.7 seconds!"
"Is that fast?" I asked.
For a novice it is.
The professional drivers did it in 3.5.
The kicker, here, is that I did that 0-to-60-mph sprint in a 5,500-pound SUV.
The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is the latest project from the SRT performance team at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
With a 6.2-liter Hemi engine that delivers 707 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, the Trackhawk is the most powerful SUV out there. Full stop.
"This is the ultimate performance SUV in the marketplace," said Scott Tallon, director of the Jeep Brand.
Case in point: Trackhawk has a top speed of 180 mph, and can do a quarter-mile sprint in 11.6 seconds. Oh, and the new Brembo braking system allows for a 60-to-0-mph brake distance of 114 feet.
Before driving the new Trackhawk, it was really hard to wrap my mind around these performance stats. This is a Jeep, after all.
To prove its track chops, however, the folks at Jeep took us to Club Motorsports, a country club racetrack in New Hampshire that included a couple of sweeping curves, hairpin turns and serious elevation changes.
I anticipated a slow jog around the track for handling purposes. But instead, I got a full-on track experience with a vehicle that seems to break the laws of physics.
Cornering at 80 mph and a straight-away sprint at 122 mph were not what I expected from the large but lovely Jeep on a tight and technical 2.2-mile course.
As soon as I did my first lap, I felt the weight melt away, and I could have been driving any number of performance cars – the "utility vehicle" part of "SUV" vanished.
The amazing thing, though, is this isn't just a vehicle bred for fast breaks. It's also a comfortable and competent road vehicle. We tooled around Maine and New Hampshire for more than 3 hours before hitting the track, traversing rough road surfaces as well as smooth highway asphalt.
It handled the bumps and grooves better than any track-ready car I've driven, and I could see how this would be a great family vehicle for road trips.
The sporty front seats are cushy and supportive, with aggressive bolstering to keep you in place during fast track driving. I loved the reverse stitching on the seats as well as the Trackhawk logo emblazoned on the seatbacks.
The interior is luxuriously appointed with leather seating surfaces, heated-and-cooled front seats, heated rear seats, four USB ports (two front, two back) and standard navigation. The carbon fiber dash accents remind you you're driving something sporty and not just a regular luxury SUV.
At first glance, the exterior looks like a regular Grand Cherokee. Until you notice the quad exhaust, bright yellow Brembo brakes and extra airflow vents that replace the fog lights. Ride height is also 1 inch lower than its non-Trackhawk brethren.
Trackhawk also has a special Selec-Track system, which goes from track ready to snow capable. The 5 drive modes available are: Auto, Sport, Track, Tow and Snow.
Let's be clear: This is not an off-road ready Jeep, but it will handle inclement weather with aplomb.
Base price for the 2018 Trackhawk is pretty steep at $86,995 (including destination).
The test vehicles we drove were completely optioned out with the dual pane panoramic sunroof, Blue-Ray entertainment system, signature leather-wrapped interior package, high performance audio group and trailer tow group.
Oh, yeah, and did we mention that the Trackhawk can tow up to 7,200 pounds?
As tested price came in just less than $100K (yikes!), with an MSRP of $99,965 (including destination).
Trackhawk will be in dealers sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.
My first look at the Trackhawk wasn't nearly long enough – which is a good ploy from the folks at Jeep. My brief time in the vehicle left me wanting more. Much more.
Editor's Note: Driving impressions in this "First Look" review are from an invitation-only automaker launch event that allowed special access to the vehicle and executives. Jeep covered our accommodations, meals and transportation costs.

Corn is expected to start showing signs of heat stress, especially corn planted late due to wet planting conditions. Extremely hot, dry weather is plaguing the Midwest this week.
The hot weather can cause extra problems in late-planted corn. Why? Corn planted in wet soils often developed poorer root systems, according to Ohio State Extension corn scientist Peter Thomison. This directly affects yield potential when dry weather occurs.
Because of the challenges in getting the crop in the ground, parts of the Midwest have had two crops: one planted early and one late after Memorial Day. Thomison says that the corn planted in mid-May is at or near tasseling now, while corn planted after Memorial Day is anywhere from stages V10 to V14. Some corn planted later in June may only be at the V6 stage.
"Given the variability of corn in the fields, some of the later corn isn't rooting very well because of soil conditions at planting — things like sidewall compaction and varying planting depths," Thomisons says. "Because of the intense heat and lack of rainfall this summer, some of that corn isn't performing well, even though it was planted in a moist soil bed. Some of this corn could be six feet tall, and in the same field there's corn waist high."
Along with the root structure and development issues, heat may affect yield potential by limiting the number of kernels developed. Thomison and his Extension colleagues have heard reports from some areas of Ohio about corn rolling relatively early each day and exhibiting moisture-related stress throughout the day.
While conventional wisdom says heat stress at pollination is a problem, Thomison says, if hot and dry conditions persist, the real problem this year will be kernel abortion instead of limited pollination.
"If we're looking at temperatures above 90 degrees sustained over a week, combined with soil moisture deficits, the impact on corn could be devastating," he reports. "These high temperatures alone may not jeopardize pollination, but in conjunction with water stress they can result in significant kernel abortion after pollination, during early grain fill. So, the ovules may get pollinated, but if we have inadequate moisture, the kernels will just abort and we'll see tip dieback."
He notes similar challenges in 2002, another year characterized by late plantings, where lack of moisture produced "nubbin ears" that significantly lowered yields. He sees potential yield loss of up to 5-10%/day if fields experience severe moisture stress in the two weeks before tasselling.
Recent windstorms throughout the eastern Corn Belt also caused problems because of the issues with root development. But Thomison says corn stalks for the most part have already bounced back. In most cases the wind damage was limited and localized, but some problems may still exist with corn stalk crimping, or pockets of green snap.
With expected rainfall totals at or below normal for the remainder of July and August, Thomison says he remains concerned about how well Mother Nature will treat Ohio farmers through season's end.
"The long-term forecast, to be brutally honest, is not promising," he said. "Some people will talk about maturity this year, but I'm more afraid the crop may just die of moisture stress in August."

Have you seen an adolescent smile lately?
When the Launchpad's lights are dim and the crowd is thick with sweaty kids from all ages, I see the teens smile. Their eyes light up. They grin, all teeth, an endless throng of pearly incisors and cuspids. On stage, the band pacifies this restless mass with music imitating the raw passion of youth. Discontented misfits transform into human beings devoid of teenage angst, purified by noise.
Odds & Ends
Dateline: New York—A disco-era icon is about to go up for sale on eBay. The multicolored dance floor where John Travolta struck his famous Saturday Night Fever pose will be auctioned off on the website the first week of April. The 24-foot by 16-foot dance floor was rescued from a soon-to-be-demolished nightclub. Bar owner Jay Rizzo, who saved the floor, told the New York Post, "It has literally been the heartbeat of this club." The club, where the floor had been a fixture since the 1977 film was made, closed last month after being sold to a real estate investment company. The plastic floor, covered in more than 300 multicolored lights, is expected to sell for some $80,000.
Not to be confused with the PBS television series, we all should be asking ourselves a similar question. [The year] 2005 should prove to be an interesting year in as much as it is an election year and everyone will be jockeying for position from the mayor's race to city council. Mayor Martin Chavez could well be re-elected, for overall his administration has been quite successful and has accomplished many positive things. As for city council races, in particular, District 7, that's debatable.

Hunter S. Thompson Remembered
I blame this sentimental blathering on the swift and concise suicide of Dr. Hunter S Thompson. He once told me he thought he'd die quickly from something akin to an unexpected breeze wafting in through a back door ... "Poof" gone; something fast, almost clean, but not quite. Suicide by gun to head is never that clean, but it wasn't a shotgun.

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. ~John F. Kennedy
While we might disagree with what is said or printed or accessed; while we might take issue with those that say print or access it –we certainly cannot disagree or take issue with their right to say, print or access it. To do so, is to take away your own right. For one day someone else may dispute what you say, print or access and your cries will fall upon silent ears.
What is appropriate is to empower those that feel they are being cheated or stolen from with laws that can equip them with the power to redress their grievance. Eliminate the wart, do not cut off the arm instead. The legislation presently pending may not be the best solution to the problem.
One important thing to consider before you fall on either side of the SOPA/PIPA battle is to look at those that support it and those that oppose it. The proponent list does not include a single individual — the unit upon which this country was originally formed. The proponents are exclusively (if not almost exclusively) the new "persons" under recent law.
The freedom to disseminate information has always been a cornerstone of our freedoms, of our country – a country of the people, by the people and for the people — the question of late, it appears to me is "which people are we talking about these days?"
