Best known for its aquarium, Jazz festival, Steinbeck, and Cannery Row, Monterey also has an impressive bike path that's a central tourist activity. We rode it on Saturday to the Lighthouse and back. For tourism, it's high on the list, but just for riding, Santa Barbara still has the best we've ridden.

How His Surname Passed Away
Henry and his wife Elizabeth Armitage had 15 children. Seven of those children (and possibly another infant) were males. You would think with 7 sons in the family, the family name would continue for generations. Not so for Henry. This is what happened with Henry's sons.
Son #1: Henry Carl was born September 25, 1870, and died on August 11, 1958
He had 2 sons and 6 daughters. Both sons died in infancy.
Son #2: William was born in 1872 and died on November 4, 1888, at the age of 16 of typhoid fever.
He had no children.
Son #3: Edward was born March 5, 1879, and died on November 15, 1911. He never married.
He had no children.
Son #4: Walter was born on November 13, 1882. He married on June 28, 1906, and died on May 31, 1907, in an ugly factory accident.
He had no children.
Son # 5: William Carl Robert was born on February 8, 1892.
He had 4 daughters and no sons.
Son #6: Jacob Increase was born on December 15, 1893. He married on September 4, 1916 and died on September 12, 1917, in a horrible factory accident.
He had 1 daughter.
Son #7: Carl Nelson was born September 3, 1896 and died 11 days later on September 14.
Only 2 of Henry's sons (Henry and W. C. Robert) were alive when he died, and only 6 of his children outlived him. While Henry has many, many descencants, both male and female, the only ones from his line with his surname are females who do not carry on the Meinzen name.
Since today is Grampa Henry's birthday I want to honor him and commemorate his birth. With so many descendants, Grampa, you should be celebrated royally. Happy Birthday!

What a splendid little illustration of life (and death) in those times. A very informative post indeed.ReplyDelete
Two horrible factory accidents in one family...wow. It goes to show that work is a lot safer now than it used to be; those things used to happen all the time.ReplyDelete
I watch this phenomenon of surnames passing away with in my own family with a certain amount of angst --- but for a surname to pass away with 7 sons-- that is quite unusual. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I am amazed that there are no living male descendants in this family with 7 sons. The two sons were killed in the same factory but doing different jobs.ReplyDelete
Too bad us women cant carry the surname with us. At least some form of it.ReplyDelete
It is nice that we have ancestry.com now to help keep track og things. Nancy this is a very nice post in honor of your Gramps.
Nancy, this was so fascinating and tragic too.ReplyDelete
You have done an excelent job on this. We never realize how well we live in the 21st century until we look back. Amazing!
Happy (belated) Birthday, Henry. He has a great smile and a twinkle in his eye. Sad and wonderful story. I agree with Eileen; I think it would be nice if women carried on their surnames in some way.ReplyDelete
Hi Nancy! What a great story on Henry! I can relate on two accounts - my dad's own line has basically died, as my brother has no children - and never will due to medical circumstance. My husband has a line that had six daughter's and one son, who died at age 7. How heartbreaking that must have been.ReplyDelete
I've taken my maiden name as my middle name in honor of my father.
Lovely looking man! I have a similar situation with one of my great-grandfathers. Only one of his five sons had children and his only son had no children. He did have numerous brothers so the name continues, even if not in our line.ReplyDelete
I appreciate your comments and look forward to reading what you have to say. Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks PG!
I am not aware of those grants that you mentioned, I will search for them. May be those are national grants or something? That only people from Germany or Europe can apply?
In my application, I have made a cover letter, wherein I write my introduction first, give some brief about my university.Then I write about Humboldt fellowship,attach a detailed file for that. Afterwords I come back to my research, explain a little bit of what we are trying to do in lab. Then I attach my CV which contains all details.
Is there anything that is missing out here?
I will go through the networking tips, thank you for the information.

She was the first female comedian to headline a Vegas Club, the first woman to sneak into the all-male Friar's Club (in drag!), and one of the first successful female stand-up comics. She's also appeared on more Bob Hope Specials than anyone except Bob Hope. Phyllis Diller, who turns 95 today, is not only a television pioneer, but a pioneering force for women in entertainment, as well.
Born Phyllis Aida Driver On July 17, 1917 in Lima, Ohio, Diller wanted to be a pianist as a young girl. She attended college at the Sherwood Music Conservatory in Chicago for three years, but left to finish her studies at Bluffton College back in Ohio. She eloped in 1939 with Sherwood Diller, the brother of a classmate, and moved to Ypsilanti, Michigan and then to Alameda, California, where her husband worked at the Naval Air Station. Diller first got a job writing gossip and shopping columns for a local San Leandro newspaper, then as a fashion writer for Conn's department store, moved on to writing for KROW radio in Oakland, and then to KSFO San Francisco as head of merchandising and press relations.
Her husband encouraged Diller to move to the talent side of the business, which she did by creating her "Phyllis Dillis, the Homely Friendmaker" persona:
Diller and a few friends put together an act, and she soon became the breadwinner of the family. She began a five-year run performing at the Purple Onion night club, toured the country, and in 1958 made her TV debut on You Bet Your Life with host Groucho Marx. She had just begun to comprehend the importance of theatricality and slowly started crafting her signature look: bleach-blonde hair, colorful costumes, and exposed "chicken-legs":
Two additional items became part of Diller's persona – her laugh:
And her ever-present cigarette holder:
One of Diller's most memorable creations was "Fang", the mythical husband-figure she often complained about in her act, who wasn't actually based on her real-life husband:
In 1962 Diller made her first hugely successful appearance on The Tonight Show with Jack Paar. She soon secured her first movie role, as nightclub hostess "Texas Guinan" in Splendor in the Grass, and appeared in several regional theater plays including "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs" with co-star Blythe Danner. In 1961 Diller became the first female comic to headline in Vegas, at the Flamingo. Of her Vegas act she told us, "I wrote my own material, and no one had ever heard it from a woman's angle. Now the mother-in-law is his mother… I did a lot of housewife stuff. My first bit was stuffing a turkey. Now you think, well, this isn't going to interest men, but it did because they're interested in women. It became funny. If it's funny, it'll sell."
Diller published her first book in 1963 and in 1964 made the first of many appearances on Bob Hope Specials. Diller felt she instantly clicked with Hope:
Throughout the 1960s Diller appeared on numerous talk and game shows, including: The Ed Sullivan Show, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, I've Got a Secret, and Match Game. She traveled to Vietnam to entertain the troops with Bob Hope, and in 1966 starred in The Pruitts of Southampton, later retitled The Phyllis Diller Show – a half-hour sitcom about a wealthy family who suddenly becomes poor ("the opposite of The Beverly Hillbillies" as Diller described it.) She also appeared in a series of films including That Spy, Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number (with Bob Hope), and The Mad Monster Party.
1968's The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show started out as a 90-minute special that blossomed into a season-long variety show (one of the writers of which was a young Lorne Michaels), and in 1970 became the sixth Dolly in Broadway's "Hello, Dolly." In the late '60s and early '70s she enjoyed a semi-regular role on Love, American Style, and debuted her "Dame Illya Dillya" concert pianist persona in 1971, which kicked-off a series of symphony shows around the country and allowed her to utilize her piano skills. She very publicly underwent a face-lift in 1972, appeared as judge on the premiere episode of The Gong Show in 1976, and in 1983 became the first woman to dress in drag to sneak into the all-male Friar's Club (for Sid Caesar's roast):
Diller suffered a heart attack in 1999, and hasn't done stand-up since being fitted for a pacemaker. However, she played "Gladys Pope" on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful from 1999-2004, and continues to make talk show appearances. She's also active in voiceover work, voicing the Queen in A Bug's Life, and the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nuttiest Nutcracker.
Stand-up, Broadway, TV, movies, voiceovers… Phyllis Diller is one talented lady. Happy 95th, Phyllis! Here's to many, many more!

Does anyone recognise the people in it? I know the older woman on the far right is my paternal great-great-grandmother, Elizabeth Lorne CRUCKSHANK (nee BRACKENREG) - (also sometimes spelled Cruickshank). Her husband, John CRUCKSHANK, died in 1912 and Elizabeth is wearing mourning black, and John's not in the photo, so I presume it was taken since then.
Three of Elizabeth's four sons all married in 1914 or 1915, and a daughter in 1913.
So the contenders are these four of her eight children:
a) Ruby Clare CRUCKSHANK marrying Percy A JONES (1913 - West Maitland)
b) Sidney Herbert CRUICKSHANK marrying Maude Annie BENNETT (1914 - Hamilton)
c) Leslie George CRUCKSHANK marrying Louisa Elizabeth HALL (1915 - Narrabri)
d) Cyril Douglas CRUCKSHANK marrying Minnie Florence METCALF (1915 - Cessnock)
Does the placement of the mother-in-law mean anything? If she's standing next to a man does that indicate that he's her son? Or maybe just the best man, possibly unrelated? Her flower is the same as the buttonhole on the man she stands beside, but I don't think he's the groom. I think the groom would be the other seated man with roses in his buttonhole which seem to better match the bride's bouquet. Also, he's sitting in a much fancier chair - surely the groom would get a flashier chair than the best man! I presume the bride always stands in wedding photos so as to show off her dress at it's best.
Any/all ideas welcome :)

FedEx Corp. has settled a lawsuit over claims that it routinely overcharged by billing deliveries to business and government offices at higher residential-delivery rates.
A federal judge in Memphis scheduled a preliminary settlement hearing for July 23 in a lawsuit that challenged FedEx's billing of customers for deliveries to offices and government buildings.
The settlement is tentative and subject to court approval, said FedEx spokeswoman Shea Leordeanu Tuesday. Steven J. Rosenwasser, an Atlanta attorney for the plaintiffs, confirmed the settlement but declined to provide details. He said terms would be disclosed "in a week or two."
A law firm in Alpharetta, Ga., sued FedEx in 2011, claiming that the company improperly added residential-delivery surcharges that could total more than $3 per package for many deliveries to office towers and government addresses. The lawsuit said that FedEx used a mistake-filled database that identified many commercial and government buildings as residential even though the FedEx driver knew better.
FedEx delivers about 2.5 million packages per day. It's not clear how many might have been wrongly billed as residential.
In court filings, FedEx had said customers could challenge charges that they considered inaccurate.
The plaintiffs are seeking class-action status to represent all affected customers from February 2010 to the settlement date.

But I disagree with Evan on how we should interpret such results. I took a look at the Survey of Professional forecaster data and restrict my analysis to the Great Moderation period since 1990. I also focus in on the 1 year forward NGDP forecast, as the 1 quarter forecasts give qualitatively similar results.
Like Evan, I too observe that current nominal GDP expectations are related to real variables, such as unemployment. However, the overall relationship is quite weak. NGDP expectations can only explain about 5% of the variation in unemployment. Moreover, the slope estimate is likely to be biased downwards as autocorrelation means the true slope is even closer to zero.
To control for this, we need to look not at the change in expectations, but rather changes in surprises. A big theme in nominal GDP disucssions is that nominal prices are sticky. Therefore, when NGDP falls below trend, because past nominal contracts were set under the expectation of the higher trend, markets fail to clear and we have a fall in real growth. Therefore, if this transmission channel were true, when NGDP falls below what was expected, we should expect to see a significant impact on unemployment.
In other words, we should consider whether actual nominal GDP hit forecasts or if it fell short. This way we can construct an error index that measures to what extent forecasters over or underestimated. Positive numbers denote when actual nominal GDP outperformed the forecast, and thus the dramatic fall into negative territory during the financial crisis reflects the unexpected nature of the nominal GDP shock.
While it certainly did fall during the financial crisis, if you use ordinary least squares regression on this index against variables of interest, such as unemployment, you will not find any kind of systematic correlation. However, if you consider only the extreme cases in which the forecast undershot reality by more than 4%, then you do get a significant negative correlation:
Perhaps this evidence suggests that expectations have a nonlinear impact on unemployment, but at that point we are drawing epicycles that the regression evidence does not warrant.
Does this all mean that expectations are useless? On the contrary. When investigating these expectation surveys, I did manage to uncover the following chart comparing forecasts and actual nominal GDP growth. I lagged the actual NGDP by 1 year, so it is easier to compare how the forecast compares with actual growth.
What we can see is that the forecasters, while not perfect, still do a rather good job of identifying times of distress. Given that forecasts do carry information, then this opens up a role for policy to lean against the wind. The Fed, instead of waiting for all the data to come in, could use a joint forecast-contemporary data criterion. If the forecasters are projecting slow future growth, then the Fed could announce that it is aware of a potential problem and prepare the necessary policy machinery, conventional or otherwise, to combat that threat.
Expectations matter, but we need to be clear on why. While they may have a direct impact on growth, expectations also serve as a crucial lens into the future and can carry information content for policy makers. Armed with such tools, monetary policy can turn towards the future, lean against the wind, and in doing so remedy demand shocks before they start to hurt.

Recipe: Quince 4 Ways
Today, we make this:
One fruit, so many possibilities. Quince granita, quince pâté de fruits, quince soup, poached quince, quince jelly, quince sauce, quince fritters…oh wait…
They are one of my favorite fruits. Look how nice and pink they become when you cook them, a soothing glamorous pink.
But they start off this color. Green with a hint of yellow. Hard as a rock. And a strange fuzz on them. It's the pectin that turns them pink. And lots of heat.
See the fuzz? And the shiny green skin underneath? (I wiped some off for you.)
This is one of the oldest fruits on the planet. Word on the street is that when an apple was mentioned in Greek mythology and the Bible, what they really meant was quince. Yes, Eve bit down on a rock hard quince. So not worth it.
A tree full of quinces is a beautiful thing because it ensures you will have quinces coming out of your ears year round, and that too is a beautiful thing.
Pick every last one of them once they are a yellow color… even the ones with nasty bits are good because you can cook them up into something saucy.
These have nasty bits. They are still worthy.
Then you stick them on your windowsill and admire them. Then you cook them into some glorious version of this.

Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Mammoth Cave Becomes a World-Famous Attraction
Gunpowder and Slave Miners
During the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, much of the large quantity of saltpeter needed to fight the war was mined at Mammoth Cave. The cave owners relied on a work force of approximately 70 African American slaves to mine this valuable mineral. Miners collected dirt from various cave passages, loaded it aboard ox-carts and hauled it to leaching vats located both at the Rotunda, the large chamber a short distance from the Historic Entrance, and Booth's Amphitheater, near the entrance to Gothic Avenue (see Map 3). When the vats were filled with dirt, they were flooded with water flowed by gravity from the cave's entrance through wooden pipes. When the water had absorbed the calcium nitrate from the soil, it was drained into troughs beneath the vats. The resulting water and calcium nitrate solution was then siphoned into a collecting tank and pumped by hand through another wooden pipeline back to the entrance. Once at the surface, the solution was leached through wood ashes in vats similar to those used in the cave and finally boiled until saltpeter crystals formed. The crystals were then packed in barrels and shipped to gunpowder manufacturers in the East.
During the mining operation, many curiosities and artifacts from a much earlier time period were recovered from the cave dirt. Artifacts such as cane reed torches and fiber sandals were found. News of these discoveries spread quickly along with stories about the huge size of the cave. It was first called Mammoth Cave on a map produced in 1810 to provide detailed information on the location of the saltpeter deposits within the cave. Certainly the name would suggest the large size of the cave, but also as some scholars suggest, the name might have been chosen to capitalize on a recent discovery of Pleistocene elephant remains that captivated the imagination of much of the public at that time.
When the war ended in 1815, the cave's owners could no longer make a profit mining saltpeter. Still, people who heard about the many discoveries continued to visit the cave to see for themselves the artifacts and the big chambers of this underground marvel. As people published accounts of their visits, the numbers of people who visited the cave grew rapidly.Exciting Discoveries and a Notable Failure
In 1839 Mammoth Cave was purchased by Louisville, Kentucky, physician Dr. John Croghan. Many trails had been mapped by visitors, but Dr. Croghan improved the trails to make it easier for people to walk through the explored sections of the cave. Croghan also bought and improved a nearby hotel to encourage visitors. From the cave's previous owner, Franklin Gorin, he purchased the services of three individuals--the young slaves Stephen Bishop and brothers Matt and Nick Bransford--to work as guides.
Stephen Bishop proved to be an excellent explorer as well as guide. He made many of the great discoveries that increased the cave's fame over the next decade. He was reportedly the first person to cross the "Bottomless Pit," which plunged more than 100 feet below the cave trail, into the darkness beyond the light provided by lard oil lanterns. Bishop became one of the most celebrated guides in Mammoth Cave's history, and his services were requested by nearly everyone who visited the cave before he died in 1857. His much publicized discoveries reported in the guidebook Rambles in the Mammoth Cave ensured that the cave would be a destination for millions of people from all over the world.
As well as wanting to learn the extent of the cave, Dr. Croghan was curious about its possible healing qualities. He believed that the cave's constant temperature and humidity might prove healthy for those suffering from consumption, a disease known today as tuberculosis. In the spring of 1842 he allowed patients suffering from the disease to live in wooden and stone huts constructed along the main avenues of the cave. Visitors during this experiment reported hearing constant coughing from the patients who appeared as pale, skeleton-like figures inside the huts. In 1843 the experiment ended in failure. Several patients died in the cave and many others grew more sickly. It seemed the high humidity in the cave and the cool temperatures harmed rather than helped the patients. Even so, Croghan's experiment added much to the medical profession's knowledge of tuberculosis and, by process of elimination, helped lead the way for control of the disease. The two remaining stone huts in the cave today are a haunting reminder of Dr. Croghan's experiment. Ironically, Dr. Croghan himself died of the dreaded disease in 1849.
After Dr. Croghan's death, his nieces and nephews acted as trustees of Mammoth Cave until the last heir died in 1926. According to his will, at the death of his last heir Mammoth Cave would be sold at public auction. During that three-quarters of a century developments in transportation--a Mammoth Cave spur line railroad and early automobiles--increased the number of visitors. It also brought increased competition to Mammoth Cave by the nearby owners of land which lay over some smaller caves. By the mid-1920s the area was in the middle of what historians call the "Cave Wars." This period was characterized by exaggerated advertising claims and outright deception about what visitors could see in the various other caves. Many cave owners allowed people to think that they were visiting Mammoth Cave when in fact they were in another cave.
Questions for Reading 2
1. What mineral was mined in Mammoth Cave during the War of 1812? Why was it important to the country? Who performed the labor?
2. Imagine yourself as the owner of the cave in 1815. How would you use it to make a living?
3. Who was Stephen Bishop and why was he important to the cave's history? Why is it significant that Bishop reached this notoriety during the 19th century?
4. What did Dr. Croghan plan to do with the cave when he bought it in 1839? Describe his medical experiment. What does it tell you about medical science of the time?

Timeshare Turkey Bolognese - Cooking Without
This Timeshare Turkey Bolognese video recipe is a good option since it doesn't require many ingredients, or a whole lot of slicing and dicing. Every one of these types of kitchens has the same exact knife set - flimsy, jagged-edged, plastic-handled, Ginsu-wannabes.
These knifes are not only dangerous to use, but make even the most basic cuts virtually impossible. You'll actually see me resort to a pair of scissors to cut the parsley. This recipe was nice because even the most poorly chopped onions and garlic will still work in this sauce.
Keep in mind as you prepare to comment, this is not my usually Bolognese sauce - so questions about why I didn't add something, etc., will all get the same answer - I'm cooking on the road. I may (for a nominal fee) be making that much sought-after video recipe available soon, but for now this very crude version will have to do.
All in all, it was a great tasting meal, and my two customers seemed very happy with it. I hope those of you with access to fully stocked kitchens and pantries will take this very basic recipe and run wild with it. Enjoy!
Tech note: This was filmed without my usual studio equipment, so the audio is pretty rough.
1 pound rigatoni
1/4 cup olive oil
2 pounds ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
dried Italian herbs to taste
1/2 cup milk
1 28-oz jar marinara sauce
2 cups water, more as needed
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, chopped
grated Parmesan cheese

Hey Chef, thanks for the recipe and wow--looks like you had nonstick and decently heavy pans? I've never seen nicer pans in a timeshare then what you had in the vid. Usually the ones I see are the paper thin dented all metal ones that most hobo's use or hit each other with. The cheap kind that burn water. Recipe looks tasty as always. Eat well and have Safe journeys. -cb

Easy for me to say how yummy it looks. I am like granny, it proves to me you don't need a lot high end equipment to get a really good meal. I guess a good knife would be helpful. Thanks for sharing, now pass me a plate please!!

Not to be snarky, but what's the allure of cooking on the road? Is it the cost savings? The challenge? I'm sure it's cheaper, but wouldn't you rather be sight seeing than hanging out in a hotel suite kitchen?
- March 25, 2009 at 8:19 AM
- Chef John said...
yes, cost savings is a good reason - helps me earn my keep! Also the daytime baseball, etc, is the site seeing aspect, not much to see around here at night - besides there is a great lit pool and hot tub.

Can this be made without milk and Parmesan cheese? Can you substitute water for the milk? (I apologize if this was addressed - my sound wasn't on)

There is a beautiful Marriott Residence Inn I have stayed at a few times. It is all new and the 2 bedroom suites would make a nice apartment. The kitchen is very well equipped BUT the pantry is bare. I am not sure there was even salt and pepper. It is hard to put that nice kitchen to use when you have to get all your cooking supplies from scratch. OK for a long stay but a pain for a shorter one. Thanks for the easy recipe - love pasta.
- March 25, 2009 at 6:15 PM
- Hygienist said...
Chris questioned the desire to cook on the road. While it does cut into the site seeing, from my experience eating in a restaurant can lose its appeal if you have to do it a lot. Especially when stuck in areas with limited choices. Having a home made meal once and while can be a rare treat for those that travel a lot.

Hey Chef John!
I know this is kinda late but i'm a new fan of yours looking through old posts :) I love the recipes but i do have one question, don't you bring at least one knife with you when you're on the road? I know i couldn't do without my Santoku :)
- March 20, 2011 at 9:10 AM
- Chef John said...
No, I don't travel with knives :-)
- March 20, 2011 at 12:37 PM
Made this tonight and I did add lib. It turn out great! Great flavor considering the fact that I didn't think it would. Added extra garlic, green pepper, red pepper flakes, leftover chicken sausage, italian herbs etc. My husband didn't even know it was turkey. He said it was delicious and gave me a kiss. I didn't have the heart to tell him it was turkey. Anyway, once again chef, ya did it! Success!

Hi Chef,
I'm a big fan! I'm an mexican/american living in France missing some of the "good" American/Mexican food.
You've been a big source of inspiration.
Here in France we go to "campings" that are pretty much like bungalows, two or three bedrooms with a kitchen and a terrace.
I've found out that while I can't travel with knifes, I can't leave my electric knife sharpener! They don't use too much baggage space, but are been more than once a big source of relief!
Looking forward to your regular home made bolognese recipe!

Chef John - Luv all you do.
A tip for your next on-the-road cooking video. Spice jars are bulky and expensive. When I sent sons off to college I bought a couple of those acrylic pill holders that screw together in a stack from a dollar-store. I took a small amount of various spices from my own spice jars put them into the pill compartments and labeled them. For next to no cost, they had a nice spice collection that took up the shelf space of a single spice jar.
This is a handy trick for camping, too.

Sex is a very personal and private matter. Many parents find it difficult to talk with their children about sex. Teens may be too embarrassed, not trust their parent's advice, or prefer not to talk with their parents about it. But sex is an important topic to talk about.
The following tips may help make talking with your teen easier:
Parents often fear that if they talk about sex, their children may want to try it. Teens are curious about sex, whether you talk to them about it or not. Studies show that teens whose parents talk openly about sex are actually more responsible in their sexual behavior.
When it comes to something as important as sex and sexuality, nothing can replace your influence. You are the best person to teach your teen about relationships, love, commitment, and respect in what you say and by your own example.

Pest Ants of Georgia [Georgia Ants] [Georgia Exotic Ants]
Joe MacGown
The following list of pest species includes 60 species. This list includes species that are considered to be serious pests, in that they may cause significant damage, health problems, kill small animals, or disrupt ecosystems, to mild, nuisance pests. The most serious pests are prefaced with a (*) symbol. Some of the species listed are seldom encountered, but when they are, they may give painful stings. This is the case with the army ants listed (Neivamyrmex spp.). Although we infrequently find them, they are aggressive and may inflict a painful sting. Not all ants that sting are listed as pests, because many of these are non-aggressive, however, keep in mind that if an ant has a stinger, it can sting. Likewise, many species can bite if provoked, but not all of these are listed. Additionally, there may be occasional species that bother mankind in various ways that are not listed. The pest status of some of the listed species, such as Cardiocondyla spp., is questionable, and their negative effects may be more that they compete with native species. Many of the species from this list were included by Smith (1965) as pest species in his publication entitled "House-Infesting Ants of the Eastern United States."
Clicking on a species name will lead to a page with further information and photographs of that species. Although species pages are at various levels of progress, most pages now have representative photographs of at least workers of the species. In addition to the photographs of ants taken by Joe MacGown at the Mississippi Entomological Museum (MEM), many photos are used, with permission, from AntWeb, a web site about ants of the world with amazing photos. Another site with photographs of ants is "Discover Life." The Discover Life site provides a list of North American ants with photos at "Kinds of Ants , Ants of North America Page". On each individual MEM species page, a link is provided (at the bottom of the page) for that species on both the AntWeb site and the Discover Life ant site. Additionally, many of the species found in this list can be identified using the identification keys found on this web site.

From the top of the rider's drop-in overlooking Whistler village the 25-foot tall takeoff for The Shred Show's Big Hip looked like a straight up wall. The 43-degree angle on the jump was designed to pitch riders as high as possible and limit them from going end-to-end. But of the 30 invited pros that pointed it into the setup Saturday night it was the top ten who consistently went the 60 feet from lip to table landing that made it through qualifications.
For 16 year old Darcy Sharpe, sending it over the top wasn't a problem. He stomped his way through qualifiers, going end-to-end each time, and locked down a frontside double cork 1080 on his first run of the finals. With scores pulled from the two best tricks combined, he chose to play it safe on his second hit and put down a backside 720 that was guaranteed to score him points. For his last hit he stomped a backside 900, riding out switch through the slushy chunder to first place and 15 Gs. As a TTR 5-star event, Darcy also earned 850 points towards his big air ranking for the next TTR season.
Montreal's Antoine Truchon picked up second place and 6,000 dollars for his two best tricks, a frontside 10 double cork and frontside nine.
Jon Versteeg threw a backside 1080 tail grab on his first hit and looked like he wanted the W when he went for a switch backside 1080 double cork on his second run. Unfortunately he wasn't able to hold his line and drifted to the rider's left, ending up in what he called "One of the sketchiest bails" he's taken. Jon managed to pull himself together for his last hit, stomping a backside 900 putting him in third place and padding his surf vacation budget a little more with a check for 4,000 dollars.
The Shred Show's four days of competitions continue at the World Ski and Snowboard Festival with Boarderstyle, a four man head-to-head race down a boardercross track with mandatory spinning off the last jump. The catch? A better trick can beat a faster time. Oh, and Terje is racing. Stayed tuned for full coverage coming soon…

2010 Toyota 4Runner: Wine Country WheelingPosted in Project Vehicles on January 1, 2011
Regular readers of this magazine will recognize this silver 4Runner as our latest project rig, which we'll be transforming into an overlander in the coming months. (See last month's issue for more details.) We're still waiting for parts to be delivered (our buildup is slated to begin next month), so in the meantime we thought we'd take a few days off-yes, they do give us vacations every now and then-to wheel the newest member of our family in the hills and ridges of the central California wine country.
Stretching roughly from Big Sur to Santa Barbara, the central coast in the state's southern half is perhaps best known to wheelers as the home of Oceano (aka Pismo) Dunes, a few miles south of San Luis Obispo. And on any given weekend, you can find hundreds of quads, sand rails, and fullsize trucks at Pismo, playing in the dunes, camping for the weekend, and enjoying the cool weather. But if you're seeking some solitude, or you'd like to catch some mountain air, there are plenty of pleasant 4x4 trails less than an hour's drive away, past the many vineyards of the Santa Maria Valley, in the Los Padres National Forest.
A massive tract, the Los Padres Forest comprises more than 175,000 acres along 220 miles of the California coast, from Monterey County in the north to Los Angeles County in the south. It's home to over 300 miles of designated OHV trails, most of which are open year-'round, and many more miles of accessible Forest Service roads. In addition, Los Padres is home to three discrete off-road riding areas: Buckhorn, Pozo-LaPanza, and Rock Front. We spent a weekend tooling around the latter two, and while hardcore rockcrawlers may find them disappointing, just about anyone else who wants to enjoy a weekend of wheeling and camping in the central coast backcountry will find these trails a relaxing and laid-back experience.
Pozo-La Panza
A well-kept secret among local wheelers, the Pozo La-Panza riding area is located in the Santa Lucia district of the Los Padres forest, some 20 miles east of San Luis Obispo. Once home to the Chumash tribe of native Americans, the area was first explored by Europeans in the early 1770s, when Spanish trappers combed the mountains in search of grizzly bears (now extinct in California; keep reading and you'll learn why). A favorite method of trapping the beasts involved the setting of lures; one method that worked particularly well was attracting the bears with the rumen (or "paunch", panza in Spanish) of a cow. Once trapped, the bears were killed and their meat salted and dried; thousands of pounds of grizzly jerky (yum) were transported via mule pack to the Spanish mission at San Antonio and to the Monterey presidio, saving the missionaries and soldiers who'd established outposts there from starvation. The bears are long gone now, but left behind are 45 miles of ORV trails ranging in difficulty from suitable-for-stock-rigs to advanced-wheelers-only.
Pozo Road (18 miles, 10 unpaved) traverses the riding area along a meandering east-to-west shelf road off California Highway 58, and which eventually descends a narrow canyon before ending at the fabled Pozo Saloon (see sidebar on page xx). Most of the trail is easy enough for a stock 4x4, though it's rough and sometimes narrow-and occasionally washed out-in spots. At Pozo Summit, roughly halfway along the route, two popular trails branch off the main road. To the right is Las Chiches (Spanish for, well, you can look it up), a six-mile moderate-to-difficult ridge route that's marked by a several very steep and loose dirt inclines at the trail head; stock vehicles can traverse it, but an aggressive tire and a rear locker (like our 4Runner's) will make the effort much easier. To the left is Pine Mountain Road, a mostly-uphill nine-mile loop (it doubles back to rejoin Pozo Road at La Panza Summit) that's home to The Stairsteps, a steep, 50-yard-long Mini-Rubicon of big boulders, striated bedrock, and loose dry dirt. It's arguably the most hardcore stretch of trail in the La Panza network, and with 300-foot drop-offs to either side of the 'Steps, only experienced drivers with extensively modified rigs should attempt it. The trail can be run in the other direction (i.e., going downhill), but it isn't much easier. (And no, this is one we didn't try with our stock rig.)
Southwest of Pozo, High Mountain Road (25 miles, approximately 20 unpaved) also rides a gently undulating series of ridge tops in the Santa Lucia range. In dry (summer) weather, much of the trail is passable in two-wheel drive, though several stream crossings along the southern half of the trail can require four-wheel drive (and a bit of lift) if traveled immediately following the rainy season. At the trail's summit, roughly 15 miles in and 3,200 feet above sea level, two spur trails branch off in succession to the right. The first, which is marked by a gate, is a hiking trail that leads to a Forest Service lookout tower. Recently restored, the tower was originally built by the California Conservation Corps in the 1930s to monitor fires, but it's also popular as a spot to observe the endangered California Condor, which were reintroduced to the area in the late 1980s and which some 200 are known to remain in the wild. The facility is closed from time to time (the gate will be locked), but if the gate is open, it's well worth the short hike. The second trail, Garcia Ridge, follows the top of Garcia Mountain for four miles before dead-ending at a gate to a wilderness area. The first mile or so has some steep ascents, and there are a few rocky sections along the way that will test your suspension flex (there are bypasses for all the rough stuff), but overall, it's fairly stress-free, and the panoramic vistas of Cuyama Valley to the southeast from the top of the mountain, some 3,000 feet up, are spectacular.
Rock Front
This smaller OHV Area lies some 10 to 15 miles south of Pozo-La Panza along California Highway 166 east of Santa Maria, and is a popular weekend hang for dirt bikers (judging by the day we spent there; we saw plenty of bikes and only a couple of trucks), though there are plenty of fair-to-middlin' 4x4 trails within the complex. Most of the more challenging trails, some 40 miles in all, can be found north of the highway along Big Rocks Trail, an easy north-south traverse through shady stands of oak that's surrounded on both sides by huge rock outcroppings. Along the way, trails such as Twin Rocks, Branch Creek, and Paradise Road spur off the main road and into the surrounding foothills; all are clearly marked and fairly easy to drive, with some moderately challenging hillclimbs, and each can be traversed in under two hours.
To the south of Highway 166 are trails such as Miranda Pine, Bates Canyon, and Sierra Madre. These are interconnecting 10- to 30-mile ridge and shelf roads that are frequently graded and which can be traversed in two-wheel drive for much of the year. The wheeling isn't the real payoff here-it's the views of the valley floor afforded by these mountain trails, which rise over 5,000 feet above sea level, with numerous campsites nestled amid conifer groves along the way. Condors have been sighted here, and Tule elk, recently reintroduced to the area, can be spied on occasion as well. (Black bear and mountain lion also call these hills home, so don't leave any food scraps laying around your campsite.) If you want seclusion, this would appear to be a great destination; we spent half a day running these trails (on a Sunday, no less) and encountered only two trucks-both Forest Service work rigs-during the course of our ride. And if having a whole mountain range to yourself isn't enough, you can spend a full day touring these scenic trails, and still be back on the beach in Pismo to share a warm frothy with your buddies before sundown.
Getting There
Pozo-La Panza OHV Riding Area can be accessed by either Pozo Road off California Highway 58, about 25 miles east of Santa Margarita, or via High Mountain Road north of Lopez Lake, seven miles east of Arroyo Grande. Primitive camping (toilets, picnic table, fire rings) is available at several locations within the riding area. A Forest Service Adventure Pass ($30/year; available at retail stores nationwide) is required for parked vehicles. More info: 805/925-9538.
Rock Front OHV Area can be accessed from Big Rocks Road north of California Highway 166 (the turnoff is unmarked), 27 miles northeast of Santa Maria. Turn left when you see a wrought-iron sign reading "Rock Front Ranch" (it's a gate to a private ranch), then veer to the left along a dirt road. A quarter mile to the east, a right turn onto Sierra Madre Road will take you into the upper reaches of the Santa Lucia range, with some spectacular views the reward; on a really clear day, you can see the outline of the Sierra Nevada, some 200 miles to the east. A USFS Adventure Pass is also required, and camping is permitted at designated sites. More info: 805/925-9538.
Chow Down
Just like your 4x4 needs fuel, so do you. Here are three legendary food joints we never pass up when we're tooling around the central coast:
Pozo Saloon, Pozo: Cruise the parking lot on just about any weekend, and you'll find BMW 7-series, Harley Electra-Glides, and lifted Blazers and Broncos parked outside this legendary watering hole. Originally a Wells Fargo stage stop, the saloon has stood on the same location since 1858 and is celebrated as much for its diverse clientele-bikers, ranchers, wheelers, and winery-hoppers-as for its burger-and-brew pub grub. (Be sure to ask for a "Pozo Martini"-it's a glass of tap beer with two olives dropped in it.) The saloon hosts live music on weekends, and some big names occasionally make impromptu appearances: George Thorogood, the Black Crowes, and Snoop Dogg have all been sighted in recent years.
Shaw's Steak House, Santa Maria: Foodie carnivores know that the words "Santa Maria" are synonymous with tri-tip barbecue, and if you're in the mood for mass quantities of melt-in-your-mouth rib-eyes, flank steaks, and back ribs for reasonable prices, this red-naugahyde paradise on Santa Maria's main drag has been wood-grilling meats for over 50 years. The portions are huge-the beef ribs in particular look like something you'd see in an episode of The Flintstones-so come famished and leave stuffed, with plenty of leftovers in your go-box.
Duckie's, Cayucos: It's a bit out of the way-some 15 miles northwest of Pismo-but this beachfront hole-in-the-wall, adjacent to the pier in the seaside town of Cayucos, serves up clam chowder that locals will swear is the best you'll find anywhere. We'll vouch the same for the fish and chips-big flaky hunks of fresh battered cod served with a generous portion of hand-cut spuds-no frozen stuff here. Besides, if the menu at Duckie's doesn't spin your props, you can rent a rod and a bucket from the bait-and-tackle shop next door, and catch your own lunch off the pier.

Dubbed "The Brunei Adventure Race 2007" or BAR 2007, the event is divided into two parts; the first event is organised in conjunction with His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam's 61st birthday celebration. It will be held on August 26 at the Jerudong Park Playground.
We can now start a little Timelines work on the LAX to Ireland leg. The first question is did AR12 go into Dublin airport or Shannon airport (the only two international airports in the country that I am aware of). Since we can't answer that question, I will look at it both ways.The obvious flight from LAX to Dublin would be the 10 hour nonstop EI144 leaving LAX 1630 arriving DUB 1030 GMT, Daylight Savings version. Somehow, I just don't think the Amazing Race would take this if they could do something on American Airlines. However, the only AA option through LHR leaves at 1805 anvd arrives 1630, 6 hours later, so I don't think they used American. Alternate flights from LAX to LHR are BA278 departing 1535 arriving 0945 and NZ2 departing 1140 arriving 1100, but then they have to get connections into DUB. Those connections are almost hourly.Into SNN there are only a few options. Through DUB, there are only two flights a day from DUB to SNN. They are EI133 departing 1145 arriving 1230 or EI125 departing 1300 arriving 1345. EI144 would connect easily with either of those flights. However, the question of what happens if there is a delay across the Atlantic is a serious one. The fact is that Shannon is only a 3.5 hour bus ride across the center of Ireland from Dublin, but would the rules of the Amazing Race accomodate that? The connections from LHR to Shannon are more frequent. that AA136 flight noted above connects with EI165 to SNN departing LHR 1425 arriving SNN 1540.If I were World Race Productions trying to have a stealth campaign to avoid detection, what would I do? I would have no connections, so I would put everyone on EI144 to Dublin and end the flying there. I would get them onto buses(not self-drive cars on the left hand side after an overnight) or taxis and take them to some remote Irish castle (there are hundreds of these). I would stay away from Dublin totally and sneak the teams back into Dublin airport at night in small groups for their departure.
They are letting me out of the BB house tonight Gman! I'm almost home handsome
I have also taken a look at the West African airlines to see the possibilities for AR12 getting from country to country by air. It can be done in selected instances. Most West African airlines have route structure set up to funnel passengers to and from Paris, with no regard for moving them between countries in West Africa. There are 2 notable exceptions, Air Afrinat and Air Ivoire. Air Afrinat goes to 3 cities a day for 6 of the days of the week. Air Ivoire focuses on the capital cities of Ivory Coast (Abidjan), Mali(Bamako), and Burkina Faso(Ouagadougou) with service several times a week between them. I am going to speculate that AR12 utilized the available air travel structure for stops in Bamako(or maybe Timbucktu now known as Tombouctou, which is a place flight from Bamako) before Burkina Faso and Abijan afterward. I have not found air routes involving Accra, Ghana, so I am placing that into a low probability category now.

Bedroom Organizing tips
How to Organize a Bedroom
-First thing is to thoroughly sort through everything with the questions: Have I worn it in the last year? Do I need to keep it in my bedroom? Is it practical to keep? Do I have room for it?
- Have a giveaway box/bag and/or a box/bag for consignment. To be removed immediatly after so as not to be tempted to keep it.
-Is the furniture placed properly for best use? Baskets and decorative boxes are great to use to store things in if
you don't have enough storage. Make use of under the bed storage containers. There are often unused corners in a room that can be used for storage.
-You need more shelving or drawers to be able to maximize the space in a walk-in closet. If you have a lot of shoes, extra shelving is helpful or keep the shoes in shoe boxes or plastic boxes of the same size with a picture of the shoes on them is an easy way to avoid a large pile of shoes on the floor.
-Clothing is best grouped either according to color or according to type of clothing. Hang up as much as is practical to easily access if folding is not something you automatically do. Baskets or containers work well for socks, underware, scarves, etc. Or fold clothes, and place on shelves.
-Wherever you can, maximize the space with boxes, or extra shelving inserts so there is not as much unused space.
-Jewelry is another one of those things that if not organized properly are annoying and often end up in a jumbled mess somewhere. There are, of course, store bought containers that work well. But one thing I like to use that is decorative as well as functional is converting a picture frame into a Jewelry stand. I will give instructions on building this in one of my blogs.
-As always when organizing, keep in mind what is used most often and have these things put where they can be accessed easily.
How to Organize Your Garage
-The first step to organizing a garage is sorting the items in the garage. The easiest way is
to set up boxes or areas to put like items. Have a for sale box, a give away box and a trash
box set up as well.
-While you are sorting ask your self these questions: What is the goal
amount of things I want to keep? How long has it been since I used it? Am I keeping it
because I like it or because someone gave it to me and I don't want to offend them? If so,
do you really have room for it and is it practical to keep? They will most likely never
know whether you still have it or not. Try to get rid of as much as you can as organizing
it into efficient and usable order easier.
-After sorting put items into boxes that can be easily moved (sm. and med.) unless item too large,
then a rolling container is the easiest to use. I prefer plastic over cardboard as they are sturdier and
stack better. It is best to use shelving or cabinets but the boxes can be stacked neatly if needed.
- For tools, either use a board with nails or a board with holes and the appropriate hardware to hang them
neatly. The larger items can go on shelves or the floor. Use a storage container with little
drawers and label them for screws, nails and other small items. This can either be hung
on a wall or a counter. If possible hang the larger items, such as shovels, rakes, etc.
-Put a ceiling rack for larger items so you have more floor space (like the bicycles during the
winter). When putting away items, always keep in mind the things that are used the most
often and make sure they are accessible.
-When finished, you will have a neat and organized garage with the ability to find things with out having to
move everything to get to them.
You will be surprised at how much extra space your garage actually has.
Cleaning tip#1 An easy way to clean calcium deposits in toilets
Have you tried to clean the calcium deposits on toilets and sinks using the pumice stone? It is not easy and more often than not it leaves scratch marks. And using harsh chemicals is not only hard on the skin but also on the nose and sinuses.
I know a easy trick that doesn't take alot of elbow grease or time….using something that can be cheaply bought at either Walmart or any hardware store. It is drywall sandpaper. Not the kind that looks like regular sandpaper but the one that has holes with a lattice design. I cut these in 1″ strips which are easy to hold. Amazingly enough all you have to do is rub the calcium stain with the sandpaper strip and it almost always removes the calcium. The sandpaper does not scratch the ceramic. It is sometimes easier to clean if you remove the water from the toilet. Which can be done with a toilet plunger, by forcing the water down the drain. I then rub off the calcium and flush. Sometimes you need to flush and rescrub a couple of times before it is all gone. But it is a lot easier that any other method I have tried. It also works on sinks, tubs and showers that are made out of ceramic. Though be careful around the faucets and other metal parts as those will scratch. The sandpaper will remove stains that you didn't think could be cleaned.

ITT: We post silly antics or crazy but minor discoveries that don't deserve their own topic.
In my last run, I was a gnome bloodmage who carelessly blocked off a hunk of the dungeon using IMAWAL. The boss was on my side, thankfully, but I was lower level than I'd have liked and was left with no offensive glyphs whatsoever. The solution? At max MP and feeling somewhat sheepish, drink eight mana potions in a row to boost sanguine enough to hack my way to victory. I've discarded one or two potions in runs before to fuel the Tri-Sword or Alchemist's Scroll, but this is by far a new personal record of potion wastage.
Yesterday I leveled up by casting BYSSEPS. By accident. I am now dubbing this maneuver the 'Sheer Raw Muscular Ascendency' and am developing a battle-cry for it as I type!
On an unrelated note, does anybody else think there should be an easter egg for embarking as a dwarf with the secret shame of prepping a Fake Beard?

Because we are completely out of new ideas, Night of The Living Dead will be remade again, but in CG 3D. It's an origins story and Romero is not involved.
THR is reporting that director Zebediah de Soto will tackle this new story with what they are calling "an American-style anime" executed using new technology. Hopefully this will prevent the CG curse that is actors interacting with tennis ball stick monsters.
Call me pessimistic but I'm not sure I want to see a CG zombie film before my Henry Selnick claymation zombie movie ....
The producer De Soto Simon West, who directed Con Air and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, gives us a little hope. He's got good C-movie cred.

Apple could launch a lower-priced version of its iPhone this year to attract more customers in countries where carriers don't subsidize devices, according to a new report.
The Wall Street Journal says the Cupertino tech giant is working on a new version of its smartphone that looks like a standard iPhone but uses cheaper materials to lower costs. The low-priced iPhone could have a shell made out of polycarbonate plastic rather than aluminum as the iPhone 5 has, the business journal says.
The report, which cites unnamed sources who were briefed on the plan, says Apple could launch the smartphone as soon as this year but also might kill the idea altogether.
QUIZ: Test your Apple knowledge
Apple has been considering a cheaper iPhone since 2009, the report says, and may finally launch it this year due to market-share declines around the world as more people buy low-priced Android phones.
