Stuck in my craw

You know I'd have you. I'd make you a cup of British builder's tea and we could laugh at the zucchinis covered in blue paint while the kids flipped out like ninjas and hammered nails into the rotten fence of our rental home ;) I have a "pool", it's kind of shallow and muddy though. I'm assuming it's a pool, because the kids like to roll about in it wearing their swimming suits.

Oh man, Lindsey. Y'all could take that home schooling family with one hand tied behind your back. I'd know I'd died and gone to heaven if I had you guys for neighbors. If fate ever tempts us to move to Cali, we'll be right on the other side of that rotten fence (and knowing my boys, probably climbing over it at all hours day and night). Oh the tinkering we'd do!

You got me out of lurkdom with that one, because I basically was whining at my sister the other day and I could have used those first two paragraphs verbatim (including the part about three over-rowdy boys). I don't know where you live but if you lived in my neighborhood, we'd be bff's (best families forever).

I'd apply for the job in a heartbeat... Alas, a vasectomy prevents us from meeting the minimum child requirement. And you'd have to move back to Oregon.
Wait...do dogs count as kids? If so, I'm in. Yesterday, as the kids were traversing the last little shred of my last little nerve, my sweet dog waltzed in to the house COVERED in cat poo. Hooray!

our children could tantrum together! Mine is a champion tantrum thrower :)

- Kami said...
Wow Sharon, you guys got the snip? I thought with the beautiful amazing children you've been having you'd want to keep going til your house was bursting at the seams. Diego definitely counts and man o man I wish y'all weren't waaaaaaaaaaay over there on the other end of the Oregon Trail.
Mary, where do you live? I'm here in Austin, TX.
And Ms. Erin, definitely! Yay for tantrums! (well not really, but you know... the kids are just keepin' it real....)
- October 6, 2010 at 9:53 PM
Ok, so I've been wanting to send my daughter to one of your Tinkering classes, but we've had such a busy summer it hasn't worked out. Now I stumble across your blog from somewhere else on the web and read your post, which I say repeatedly to anyone that will listen. As I continue to read other posts I see your son has started at the 9th street school house, which I fell in love with but she didn't want another young-in (4.5 year old!). I think you must be my East side doppelganger!

Where do you live, Stephanie? Sounds like you guys should come over and play, some day soon!

I love you Kami! :-) This post is just delicious and real and wonderful, just like YOU! xoxo

- Anna said...
Oh Kami.... I feel your angst! I'd love for my kids to tantrum with your kids any day. And we could just laugh our heads off at them. Don't sweat it, "perfect" families are overrated anyway. And who knows, maybe they have lame taste in music or don't like ice cold beer, or something essential like that.

Hi, I am a new-ish follower. I am not sure of the timeline for this - or how close they were to bringing their new child home when you met her - but it is quite possible their disappearance has more to do with the arrival of their new little one than to anything you have done. I have adopted three children, and I know that each time we had to "cocoon" for a while - limit visitors and outside interaction - while our child adjusted to her new home. Even our interaction with extended family was limited. This lasted several months and was true for my infant too. Even trips to Target were a bit too much for a while. Just a thought. Best wishes!

Kami, We'd love to come play! I technically live in Spicewood, but we spend most of my time on the east side when we are in Austin.

Oh, Amy, you are the sweetest! Love you too, my dear woman!

I know, Anna, maybe she never needed a beer because she never needed to take the edge off because she never had a day when her kids were screaming and fighting all day.... mmm, delicious beer. I hope life with your newly minted three is treating you grand you awesome lady! And I hope we will see you around sometime soon, and I hope everyone will be in fine spirits (though I will be utterly compassionate and understanding if not ;) ).
- October 10, 2010 at 9:44 PM
- Kami said...
You're so right, Frog's mom.... we just never know what is going on for other people. It's easy to go around feeling like we're the center of the universe :) Thanks for the thought... always want to cut any family welcoming a new little one all the slack in the world.
- October 10, 2010 at 9:46 PM
- Kami said...
Right on, Cheris. One day our paths will cross... I can't believe I've never met you!
- October 10, 2010 at 9:48 PM
- Kami said...
Alright, Stephanie! Bring it on! Let's play some afternoon, just not Tuesday or Friday... you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Oh, and what are the ages of your kids?

That was one of my favorite blog posts I have ever read.
I wish I lived near you. Two boys, sometimes with tantrums, a dog and three cats, one with three legs.

Oh, Andrea, thank you! I wish you lived nearby, too. Where in NC? We almost moved to Asheville 10 yrs ago but decided on Austin instead. Who knows, maybe one of these days.....? :)

WE are your dream family. I'll start looking on the east side for a new house. OK? xoxox
I've had this happen too.
She's missing out ... big time. And you know...if that scared her off, maybe better she left cuz we mamas don't need to feel any more challenged by parenting that we already do.
We love y'all JUST the way you are!

Summary View help for Summary
This survey was designed to solicit political, sociological, and economic information from people living in Japan. The data were collected between October 3 and November 3, 2006, using face-to-face interviews and self-administered questionnaires. Respondents were asked to give employment information for themselves and their spouses, including industry, size of employer, number of hours worked, level of job satisfaction, and time spent commuting. Respondents were also queried regarding employment information and education level of their parents when the respondent was aged 15. Several questions were asked about household composition, the type of residence, the state of respondents' finances during the last few years and compared to other Japanese families both past and present, sources of financial support, the ease of improving one's standard of living in Japan, and the use of credit cards and consumer financing. Views were also sought on divorce, the roles of each spouse, issues involving children, the responsibility of the government, and taxation issues. In terms of health, questions were asked regarding the physical and mental health of respondents and their household members, the frequency of smoking and alcohol consumption, and their views on genetically modified foods. Quality of life questions addressed the amount of satisfaction respondents received from life, and how often they participated in sports, leisure, and volunteer activities. Additional topics covered were euthanasia, the use of technology, juvenile delinquency, car ownership and usage, their level of trust in various institutions, and whether respondents belonged to religious, trade, or social service organizations. Demographic variables include age, sex, education level, employment status, occupation, labor union membership, marital status, type of residential area (e.g., urban or rural), household income, perceived social status, political orientation, political party affiliation, and religious affiliation.

Conservation & Environment, Rainforest Conservation in Peru by Kimberley Smith
Decision to go to Taricaya
After breaking my neck last summer, I decided I wanted to make the most of the 2012 summer. I wanted to be involved with something different, originally around horses – however, I then found about Taricaya and the Conservation project in Peru.
After sweet talking the money out of my parents (again, making up for last summer!) – Peru was booked! I got in touch with other British 2 Weeks Special volunteers on the same project, and despite being on an earlier first flight to them, we met in Madrid and were from that point inseparable. After joining forces with our transatlantic cousins (a very chatty Canadian and a cat-obsessed American) in Puerto Maldonado, we suddenly became the 'Taricats' – it was this group which remained joined at the hip for the entire project.
In Taricaya after 24 hours of travelling
When we first arrived in Taricaya, after a long 24 hours of travelling, we were greeted by a group of about 20 volunteers. Firstly we were all a bit shocked at how relaxed everyone was about being in the rainforest, and then we settled into the routine, we soon had no problems with jumping off rope swings from the river banks into the Madre de Dois River. "GUYS, GUESS WHAT? WE'RE IN PERU!"
Incredible placement
The placement itself was incredible, it had everything, from bird banding to jaguar feeding. However, every day was always different, I'll always remember the tension as the activities board went up every day, and how all 30 volunteers would crowd around it praying that they wouldn't have to clean out the Tapir pool. The Tapirs were the most amazing animals, during my time in Taricaya, we finished the creation of the new Tapir cage, which was by this point absolutely huge.
On the first night of the Tapirs being in their new cage, volunteers had the chance to sit on the bridge and watch. All was well until the mention of a certain little jungle devil, well, not so little... Tapir watch soon became Tarantula watch! Despite the Tapirs being incredibly awesome, the highlight for me had to be the Howler Monkeys, who made some very interesting noises. I can't end this without a mention of the parrots. The parrots had an extraordinarily wide vocabulary, from saying hello, hola and agua, to ariba and many unmentionable words that have been picked up on along the way!
The routine wasn't easy to adjust to, many mornings involved waking up just before five in order to make it to the hammocks for 5:15 bird banding sessions! Breakfast was anywhere between 6 and 9, and ranged between egg, doughnuts and cereal... The animal kitchen had a much wider variety of fruit than the volunteer kitchen, but then again... The animals didn't get doughnuts! Despite a 4 hour gap over the hottest part of the day, there was always something to do – although I spent a LOT of those hours asleep in the shade of the hammocks. Well, falling out of the hammocks – same thing!
You would have thought that being somewhere so isolated, there would be no access to other resources, however, boats went into Puerto for various supplies several times throughout the week, and there's a small shop/bar about a 1km walk away, where football matches were often organised in the 4 hour gaps. The thrill of finding they sold chocolate had to be one of many high points – after a particularly long day, nothing was better than Inca Cola and Oreos!
The accommodation
When we first entered our rooms, I was with the talkative Canadian, and two other Brits. We had two bunk beds, and our first move was to attempt to put up our mosquito nets before it was dark. How many Brits does it take to put up a mosquito net? No idea... We had to get the Canadian to do it! We were useless, and that was definitely a sign of things to come... We must have spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to open the door! The rooms had wooden floors, and mesh walls – which were wonderful as we could shout to the room next door if we suddenly ran out of shampoo! One morning we woke up to find a rather colourful frog in our room... The girl who discovered it must have then proceeded to wake up the rest of Peru with her squealing!
Back to home
Naturally, the worst part of the entire experience was coming home. Throughout our time in Taricaya, we had seen volunteers come and go, they came smiling and left in tears. On the day we left, about 15 of us went at once... It was a horrible moment, even the Canadian was quiet, which was rare even in her sleep! The flights home were quiet, and I think at some point when no one was looking, we all cried a little on the plane home.
Since coming home, a day hasn't gone by without me making a Peru quote, and the saddest part is that none of my family understand the underlying jokes. Michael and his not so irrational fear of Tapirs. Emily, Vish, Alex and evasive, elusive Will! Georgie falling out of her hammock – and of course... Trumpy, the resident bird, (now with a taste for werthers originals!)
The Taricats have definitely changed me (seriously... I was talking in a Canadian accent for almost a month when I got home!) I miss the Taricats, although the Brits still meet up from time to time. I can definitely say that this summer has been every bit as incredible as I had hoped!

Flinders necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 9 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Matthew Flinders Anglican College
Matthew Flinders Anglican College (established in 1990) is a co-educational school in Buderim, Queensland, Australia. Flinders delivers quality education 1200+ students from Preparatory Year to Year 12.
Flinders provides a nurturing environment in which individuals are valued for their specific gifts, and where all students are encouraged to release their potential with a view to being active contributors to the College and the wider community. Building community is a priority across the College.
Flinders has a culture of high achievement, with the College's academic results ensuring it is a top 10 school in Queensland. Flinders students regularly receive international and national recognition in sport and music.
Flinders has cemented its place as a tech-savvy School in the region by moving to a one-to-one lap top program in 2011.
1. Parents of
• current Flinders students
• children approaching primary school age
• children approaching high school age
2. Grandparents – increasing involved in educational decision making for grandchildren
3. We attract international students, specifically families from South Africa, Zimbabwe, UK, New Zealand, Singapore, UAE, Hong Kong
4. Parent profile
• Middle - high income
• Parents 30 -55 years
• Moderate level of Internet sophistication
• Mothers more likely to do initial internet searches regarding education for their child.
Target audience are likely to have their first experience with the College via the website. The internet will be used as a primary tool for gathering information about Flinders and as a way to compare Flinders to our competitors. The website needs to make a clear statement about the College, our culture of high performance in academic, sporting, music and co-curricular pursuits, and our modern approach to educational outcomes.
Parents may be looking to a 'short list'. For this reason, a strong call to action for the parent to contact the College to source further information / arrange a visit.
Parents need to be able to imagine what it will be like for their child to attend the school, how happy their child would be and what the community experience would be like for them as a parent.
• Contrast with competitors – what makes Flinders unique
• Simple to use - easy for users to find what they are looking for and want to come back
• Project an image of Flinders as a technologically savvy educational institution
• Use white space to achieve a simple and pleasing look
• Simple, clean, modern
• Important that the look and feel and messaging does not become elitist
Themes / Keywords
The following themes and keywords represent a target sensibility for the web design and are consistent with recent customer research:
• Quality – academic excellence, co-curricular, opportunities, reputation
• Responsiveness – two-way communication
• Genuine relationships between students, parents and teachers
• Approachable (softer, friendly)
• Simple (clean, easy, not complex or confusing)
• Credible, trustworthy, integrity
• Access and information when needed
• Confidence in delivery
Many education publications and websites appear a particular way – heavy with content, defined by information grouped in the way the school sees itself (eg traditional, sand-stone, prestigious) full of photos of children in staged, studious activities. For this reason, a key challenge of the new visual design is to present content and information in a way a customer would look it – by customer segment – who am I and what content am I looking for.
Homepage - an exciting home page which engage current and prospective customers, is easy to use and easy to find the content which they are looking for.
Drop down menus and 'mega-menus' are preferred. Important front page features include logo, search function, contact details, main menu items, log in, news
Front page to include:
• Main menu - 5 segments - Learning for Life, Admissions, Parents, Student and Old Flinderians (past students). Each of these segments must have the capacity to log in and access information relevant to their relationship with the College.
• Logo
• Search
• Contact details
• Campus map
• Log in
• News
• Upcoming Events – Click for calendar
• The Performance Centre
• Matthew Flinders Foundation
Logo and colours must remain the same.
Flinders desires a website which is clear and easy to use for existing and potential customers; concise in content; gives compelling reasons for acquisition prospects to contact the College; and reconfirms the choice made by existing customers.
Success will be measured by potential and existing customers being able to find accurate and up to date information that they want when they want it. Furthermore, success will be measured by the conversion for first time users to proactively contact the College via email, phone or face to face.
Recent customer research indicated:
• Communications, including website, currently too 'overwhelming' due to length, volume of content and inconsistencies in layout. Need to be more concise and compelling.
• They have not been informed of an event or did not receive information even though it was communicated online, suggesting the existing website look/feel/content lacks cut-through.
• Customers are confused / have difficulties finding information they are looking for
Site we like the look of http://www.churchie.com.au
What they do that works
• Minimalist content and format
• Segmented by school information, parents, potential parents and old scholars
• Good use of block colours, well-targeted to educational target audience
• 'Short' pages which fits onto 1 screen with limited scrolling required
• Easy to locate log-in
St Andrews is a local competitor school
What they do that works
• The feel is that the College is more technology savvy then Flinders
• Functionality to sign up for newsletters online
What they do that doesn't work
• Wasted front page
• Small block photos are too busy and confusing
• Left navigation has too much information for first time user – difficult to know what is relevant to you and your situation
• Long scroll required
• Limited call to action apart from "Contact Us"
• Specific class information does not belong on site – should be in log in section
• Feeling of being overwhelmed by so much information
• Site maps are too small and do not give a feel for the campus
• Needs to be more inviting

Generational tales that are passed down from family member to family member over the decades can be very interesting. They also can be greatly exaggerated.
Take my family with the tales of my maternal grandfathers adventures as a rum runner and moonshiner during prohibition and his subsequent death at age 96 from bad shine he brewed in his still. I heard the stories over and over as I grew up, only to find out later in life that they were all untrue. Of course dying quietly of old age in a nursing home is not as adventurous a yarn as an ancient moonshiner dying by his still, but such is life.
Then again a humble old story can become a great adventure when the truth comes clear through the decades. Long has there been rumors in my family of "an ancestor who was granted land in
Sometimes family stories are steeped in myth, other times they are only portions of a bigger truth that can be quite startling. Consider this old story passed down from the turn of the last century, told to me by an elderly gentleman this summer, dear reader. Of which type is it? You decide.
The Macchovi family had owned the carriage works for generations when they converted it to an automobile garage after World War 1. They transformed the large two story store room into the main bay for repairs and the old assembly area into the parts room to accommodate more vehicles being worked on at the same time. The large old store room was quite cold in the winter time, but in summer its spacious layout with two double doors on both ends and high ceiling made for a comfortable work area. During the summer days the bay was constantly a buzz with the chirping birds that nested in the buildings high wooden rafters. The bird were mostly small sparrows and while the noise was bearable, the constant droppings coating customers cars was not. Ever since the building renovation Uncle Marcel Macchovi had tried to rid the bay of the nuisance of the sparrows. He had tried shooting them, but instead of being rid of his trouble, he added onto them by shooting holes into the ceiling. He tried smoking them out, but the birds would only leave and return when the smoke had cleared. Barn cats were also ineffective, only able to catch a few birds a week of the multitude that called the shop home.
For years Marcel put up with the bird bombing, until one late summer day it abruptly stopped.
The crew didn't notice the silence in the auto bay until almost , all the birds were gone from the rafters. They thought it curious and wondered what had frightened them off. Calling it a blessings, Marcel and his men worked hard into the day until later in the afternoon one of the workers made a disturbing discovery. Behind the shop where they stored the old oil in barrels, one of the workers found a pile of dead birds.
The pile was enormous. Marcel judged that not only were all the sparrows from the shop in the heap, many other birds were put there as well. The strangest thing was that they had no discernible injuries. No bullet holes, cuts, bites or any mark upon them. They were just dead. Many with their eyes open.
It was as their lives were just sucked from them. The bodies were in no ways molested, not a broken bone in the bunch.
It was very odd. Nobody had ever seen anything like it. But they shook it off and continued their busy day. They had almost forgotten it until a week later when they heard the neighboring farmers complain about the mass death of their chickens. The cages chicken coops themselves were undamaged, however when the farmers had entered them, all the chickens were dead and in a pile on the floor of the coop. Like the wild birds, they had no marks upon them. They had all suddenly died and mysteriously gathered in a heap.
A local Veterinarian was called to inspect the birds, but he too could not find a cause of death. There were no outward sign of disease, but would have diagnosed an avian virus if it were not for the bodies being piled up in a single heap. Someone was playing a trick, or the farmers had an unknown enemy, he surmised.
In response the local farmers stepped up their efforts to protect their livestock; both those who lost their fowl as well as those that had no attack. Guard dogs were purchased along with an increased patrol of watchmen pooled from a combined force of work hands who were good with a gun.
Three days later, the guard dogs on all the farms started to make a commotion during the night and as the watchmen came upon the nearest farm, the guard dogs were nowhere in sight, this happened on each farm they investigated that night. They were found the next morning in the middle of a large cornfield. The pile contained all manner of outdoor animals. From wandering house cat to coyote and even a few cougars. It baffled everyone.
Mrs. Rowse lived next to the Macchovi garage, she was a cat lover with a house full of them. When they all disappeared she called upon Marcel for help, he told her the bad news and she took it quite hard. Her countenance changed at the news, and never was the same again. She quietly made her way home, silently sobbing into her handkerchief.
Marcel went to console his neighbor on the next day, but she did not answer. He visited again the next day and once again Mrs. Rowse did not answer, he stayed a while and heard not a rustle in the house, banging on both the front and back door and with desperation a knock on the front window. On the third day Marcel was walking along the creek which was a shortcut to the Rowse house, avoiding the turn in the road connecting the properties, when he heard a noise on the other side of the creek above the small cliff side. It was a rustling in the bushes with a raspy breathing. Something was moving along the other side of the creek very slowly. Marcel unsheathed his knife, a large hunting knife he carried on the inside of his boot, carried for situations quite like this.
He quickly and quietly hopped the shale rock to the other side of the creek near the noise. He jumped up the little outcrop with knife drawn to see shat was making the noise.
It was Mrs. Rowse, lying in a little dip in the hill across a path. With a heavy breath her body moved by itself down across the dip. It was if she was being dragged without her body being affected by the woodland floor. She was floating there moving with each deep breath as if upon an invisible blanket.
Marcel jumped across the path to other side and was almost within arms reach of the woman when the sunlight reflected something unnatural.
It was if she were enveloped by a bubble that glistened in the light. A movement to or fro and the bubble vanished from sight. But at a certain angle the sun showed the bubble, heaving as the old woman breathed and dragged her inside of it's unseen mass.
Marcel approached and poked at the bubble with the point of his blade.
There was a movement of sorts within the bubble, it swelled and became clear to see in the angle of his vision. He saw the movement form into a bulbous blur on the bubble, as if it had a giant zit that was to pop. Then the bulge on the bubble opened.
It was an eye.
An ungodly visage that manifest itself upon the gelatinous form focused its ethereal iris toward Marcel. And so he struck again at the iris.
He told his crew chief later that it was if the thing was real, but not. It was halfway into this world and that with a lucky shot he hit the thing at its weakest point and the thing squealed and faded away. Mrs. Rowse let loose one large sigh and passed on. The county coroner ruled that she died of lung disease because of smoking.
Marcel never knew her to be a smoker.
At the funeral service Marcel left unexpectedly. His chief followed after him and saw Uncle Marcel shoot himself in the head in the backyard of the funeral home. They were in the middle of the chorus of an old gospel hymn that Mrs. Rowse had loved all her life. The chorus to the song, "His Eye is on the Sparrow" is,
"I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know he watches me."
The strange deaths stopped after Marcel's suicide.
It is quite an odd tale, you be the judge. Did Uncle Marcel see something in the woods or was it all in his mind?
Was it some transdimensional life draining creature, or a demon from the pit of hell?
To me, the monster reminded me of a creature from the old 1960s cartoon "Johnny Quest". That knife must have had a fine tip; I want one.
Until Next Time,
Pastor Swope

So you've heard about the sufferings endured by Palestinians at the hands of Israelis. You've seen pictures of Palestinian children killed by Israeli bombs, read about targeted killings, learned about the West Bank separation barrier and checkpoints, and heard of the hardships, discriminations and humiliations daily endured by the Palestinian people. You've seen the UN and other international organizations repeatedly issue sharp criticisms of Israel for its actions. You've learned of the Palestinian exile, and of their decades-long struggle for the land.
Any decent, justice-seeking person who hears of such suffering would, and should, act to stop it, correct it, make it known. But what is the best way to stop Palestinian suffering? What if its true roots are more complex than they are often made to appear? What if many of these sufferings turned out to be ultimately self-inflicted - what then? How best to end them?
To be clear, the aim of this site is not to justify abuse of Palestinians, or to trivialize Palestinian suffering, or to dismiss Palestinian claims to the land and to a state of their own. Nor is there any intention to portray Israel, its government, or its military, as perfect or without blame. This site does not claim to present a complete picture of the conflict; rather, it is an attempt to fill in the blanks. To provide absent, critical information, in order to enable decent, justice-seeking people to reach a more complete and informed opinion about the Arab-Israeli conflict, its origins and its most effective solution.
The information presented is organized under 10 basic facts, each of which links to a more detailed explanation. Each point made in the explanations is itself supported by links to one or more external documents on the Internet.

Grain harvest is in full swing, but it's not too late to review on-farm grain storage principles.
Phillip Glogoza and Dave Nicolai, crops educators with the University of Minnesota Extension Service, say there are four simple steps to maintain post-harvest quality: sanitation, loading, aeration and monitoring the grain.
1. Sanitation. Be sure that the storage structure and grain handling equipment (conveyors, wagons, trucks, elevators) are free of leftover grain. In addition to cleaning the bin, keep areas on the outside of the bin clean. Debris and grain spills outside the bin encourage rodents and insects, which can then move in through openings. Keep weeds from growing around bin areas – these sites are ideal for pests to hide. On the inside, sweep or vacuum grain dust and old grain from floors, walls and ceilings where hiding places exist for stored grain insects. A common rule-of-thumb is, "If you can tell what has previously been in the bin, it's not clean."
After cleaning and repairing bins, use a residual bin spray to treat the bins at least two weeks before filling if insects are active. It's better to treat during the warmer months when insects are active.
2. Combining and loading into storage. Grain harvested with a clean and properly adjusted combine should also be run through a grain cleaner to further remove fine materials on which insects can feed. In addition, a grain distributor is extremely helpful – it spreads fine material uniformly across the grain mass.
When loading, you want to create a grain mass that's clean, dry and uniform – without foreign material. Plan to protect against stored grain insects by using a grain protectant if grain is to be stored for a year or more.
Immediately after the bin is filled and the grain leveled, apply a surface treatment of an approved grain protectant. The surface treatment will help control insects that enter the grain through roof openings.
3. Aeration. In the fall, and with any bin that holds more than 2,000 to 3,000 bu., aerate to cool the stored grain and create a better storage environment.
"We should be able to cool grain to temperatures below 50 degrees [Fahrenheit] by gradually cooling the grain through the fall," Glogoza says. "Insect activity is reduced at this temperature."
Keep grain temperature less than 50 degrees F at all times of the year. In the Upper Midwest, aerate to cool grain to 20-30 degrees F for winter storage.
4. Monitoring. Check stored grain regularly for temperature, moisture, insects and molds. Inspect stored grain every seven to 14 days when either outdoor or grain temperatures are greater than about 50 degrees F. But if the grain is in good condition and has been cooled to less than 30 degrees, you can increase the inspection interval to once every three to four weeks during cold weather.

Seventies Soulchild: Its been so long since I've been on those sites... let me see if I can bring one up. brb
Selma: Vicky, where is alt today?
Seventies Soulchild: http://www.prairieghosts.com/mosthaunted.html Now I did go to the Myrtles Plantation since its on the way to my grandfather's place about 4 yrs ago...
Spivey: It is interesting to note that , of the 205 soldiers buried there, only 12 were from New York State. Others, infantrymen and artillerymen, were from New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia North Carolina, Ohio, and Kentucky.
vicky: no idea Selma.. This may be his going to the doctor check up day
Spivey: Thanks, Seventies Soulchild.
Seventies Soulchild: This one is better Spivey http://theshadowlands.net/places/
Spivey: Alt isn't here. Wonder if he would be interested in that 1812 graveyard site since he researches in Ohio.
Seventies Soulchild: I wonder why they put the cemetery so far upstate though? Maybe the Brits were attacking from Canada All I know about the War of 1812 is that they burned down the White House, supposedly It was 'brick' but they had to rebuild and paint it white... lol
Spivey: lol I didn't remember which war that was Seventies Soulchild.
Seventies Soulchild: I think that's a load of crock
Spivey: I didn't think it was brick, at least at the time it was burned down.
Seventies Soulchild: Now I'm going to have to locate the 1812 vets buried near me.
vicky: the rare photo that was found in NC was really intriguing. That one boy on the right sure resembles my Daviss/Davis folks
Seventies Soulchild: ok. you read the article? Did you see the bill of sale?
vicky: yes I did
Seventies Soulchild: I thought that was interesting that he took the photo of the boys. . . maybe it was for some kind of insurance
vicky: dunno even the tree in the background looked old
Seventies Soulchild: Whoever that collector is does a h3ll of a job finding the artifacts.
vicky: money talks seventies
Seventies Soulchild: Well you have to find the stuff first ms vicky
Spivey: Lots of slave owners took photos of their slaves, Seventies Soulchild. Maybe just because or, like you said, maybe for insurance purposes. Insurance doesn't sound likely though because I don't think photos would have been sufficient proof of ownership.
vicky: people like that have there ways seventies. There are even underground places to acquire stolen artifacts, paintings etc not that that was the case here
Seventies Soulchild: Yep... last year I was saying that Christie's and Sotheby's love to come to the Beverly (district) where my mom was raised looking for artifacts.
vicky: look at Baker who has those wonderful pics of his ancestors
Seventies Soulchild: it is one of the most rural locations in that part of MS But there are about 5 plantations within a 50 mile radius Not to include Natchez Who's Baker?
vicky: He (Baker) sent me a pic of one that was given to him but was to late to put in his book
Seventies Soulchild: ah okay

Seventies Soulchild: oh yes... at WP
ryan: np vicky (thats why we're here)
vicky: oh ok, I was thinking H-Town indeed ryan
ryan: have you checked the familysearch (pilot search) ?
Seventies Soulchild: I should go to MS, huh?
vicky: oh yeah, in fact thats is where I found my first Zepher. It seems my ggggrandfathers daughter Lydia married a Zepher/Zephyr the only reason I saw that was because my mother is names zepher and I was curious I was in total shock when I saw the name of her father and the informant was my grandfather
ryan: There is a town called Zephyr in Copiah county
vicky: I think this Lydia was the first child of my ggggrand because the mother's name was not inc She was born in 1851 or 2 so it was too early for a marrriage lic in Tx
Seventies Soulchild: Alright... talk to you all later this weekend
vicky: bye seventies
ryan: later 70s
3rdthawkins: supposedly TX marr. go back to 1840 on the pilot site but not sure if it will include blacks/slaves I would love to see if there will be a marr rec for my grgrgr grandparents Ed and Rosetta Hughes they "married" in the 1860s
ryan: Vicky, I'm sure you've seen these but its worth a shot http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#placeId=54&alivePlaceLoc1=Mississippi%2C%20United%20States&p=recordResults&surname=Zephyr&searchType=close
3rdthawkins: I wonder if familysearch will update TX marr. I would suspect so because the recs suppose to go up to 1973 and they barely have some for 1930s
vicky: yes ryan, thats where I got the Lydia you see there she is my gggaunt
ryan: ok.. (gotta catch up)
vicky: I talked to someone on the phone who is a Minor and asked her if that Ella was in her line
ryan: Clue - Isom is a very common surname name in my area around Marshall county The other clue, I know the white folks usually named their sons the surname of the mothers maiden name a lot so, Isom could have been the surname of his mother
vicky: I am still trying to get a hit on them. ok thx ryan Marshall County and what was that other one
ryan: another clue - Many of the folks from Marshall county, and north MS migrated to TX late 1800s
3rdthawkins: my step-grandfather's grandmother was Henrietta Isom, they lived in TN
ryan: Copiah Excactly, Isom, near the MS border ?
Selma: Gotta go folks..have a great day
Spivey: I will see everyone later. 'Bye for now.
3rdthawkins: ryan, I am following similar clues with my Townsend, my great grandfather was Fed Townsend born in TX, but his father was born in MS.......they lived in Panola Co. TX......which was named after a County in MS, and I find a lot of Fed Townsend's in MS I said great grandfather , I meant great great grandfather I'm just trying to find a connection somehow
ryan: Yes, Ms to Tx very common late 1800s
3rdthawkins: but my Townsend's disappear in 1870
ryan: Fayette county texas up to dallas a lot of the whites from Marshall county went, though many of my ancestors disappear then too
3rdthawkins: no Townsends in Panola Co TX in 1870
vicky: who do you have in Fayette ryan?

Graves, her brother followed later. http://www.onefast.org/tonyr/pennington/henry_pennington_presentation/index_files/Page334.htm
3rdthawkins: I would put it that way even if it's not, you know you have two different names

ryan: so my point is, the migration from Marshall county to Fayette, Tx hopefully that opens up some leads for you

Verizon's first quarter results are in, and mirroring rival AT&T, they saw some rather impressive growth. Verizon as a whole saw $30 billion in revenue, but even with their substantial non-cellular businesses, Verizon Wireless accounted for a whopping $20.9 billion of that income. That's an increase of nearly 7% from this quarter last year, though growth through their retail outlets was slightly lower.
The wireless business has proven profitable for Verizon, with a profit margin of 35%. That too is an increase, up from 32.9% year-over-year. That's $7.3 billion, for those keeping track at home. The jump comes in no small part thanks to Verizon's $130 billion purchase of the remaining 45% share of Verizon Wireless that was held by Vodafone.
Much of that increase revenue and profit comes thanks to the 549,000 new subscribers Verizon Wireless added this year, with 539,000 of those signing up for traditional post-paid contracts. That's not quite as many new customers as AT&T, though Verizon Wireless had both higher revenue and earnings. Verizon ended the quarter with 97.3 million subscribers, 72% of whom were using smartphones.

Arms Race!
Map by Mibi and WidowMakers
Guide by n00blet and stahrgazer
Arms Race! is set in the heart of the Cold War. With tensions rising between the two remaining world powers, it seems that nuclear apocalypse is inevitable....Just make sure it doesn't happen to you! With low region and usually low troop counts but bountiful region bonuses, quick, decisive, and exciting games are the norm.
Recommended Settings
Two player games are a favorite for Arms Race! Over 77% of all games on this map are two player games, where each player fights to control the US or the USSR. Two player games are more straightforward; and with fog of war there is the added mystery of the Red Scare....who knows how powerful they really are?. Any higher amount of players will eventually degenerate to each team controlling one side of the map and racing to launch nuclear strikes, but in two-player games it happens a lot quicker. This map plays well with many settings, but to quote the poet Robert Browning, "less (players) is more" on Arms Race!
How to play Arms Race!
The main unique point about Arms Race! is that once a player's visa to visit one of the two countries expires (once a player is eliminated from one side of the map) the player will not get a chance to return. Instead, the player must resort to bombarding regions from spies and race for the missile launch to annihilate the opponent.
