Tired of waiting for the bartender to simply pour your beer while he's busy making a half dozen martinis? You'll want this beer tap technology to make its way to your local drinking hole soon. iPourIt allows bars and restaurants to place their beer taps out from behind the bar and make them freely accessible to customers—all while not immediately being driven out of business by freeloaders.
That's because iPourIt uses RFID, just like these boozy hackers, to keep unauthorized customers (i.e., lushes or children) from activating the taps. Customers get RFID bracelets that trigger the beer taps to work, while the system tracks how much beer each customer pours—down to 1/100ths of an ounce—and runs a meter that you pay off at the end.
Pouring your own beer at will; sounds like a free-for-all, right? Luckily (for employees) limits can be set for each bracelet, and the bar can deactivate the RFID as well. Now if only it'd let you get yourself a buyback. [iPourIt]

Could there be a tastier muffin? Doubtful, because these are fabulous. And if you're like me, I love muffins because they are so versatile: they can accompany breakfast or dinner, stand alone as a light meal with some fruit, or make a fun after-school snack.
Muffins too are about the easiest bread to make--you hardly even stir them--and they don't need to raise or chill. Baking time is quick and the smell is heavenly. Make them today I say!
¼ cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons plus ¾ cup all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons plus ½ cup brown sugar, divided
5 tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
1 large egg white
¾ cup nonfat buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ teaspoon coconut extract
1 ½ cups frozen blueberries
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease 15 muffin tins or line the tin with muffin wrappers.
Combine coconut, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 tablespoons macadamia nuts then drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil, mix and set aside.
Whisk the remaining ¾ cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a bowl then whisk in the remaining ½ cup brown sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, egg, egg white, buttermilk, butter and coconut extract until well-combined. Add the blueberries and the remaining 2 tablespoons nuts, stir just to combine. Divide the batter among the cups and sprinkle with the reserved topping, pressing into the batter slightly. Bake for 20 minutes.

One of the first things I noticed, was that no LED's light up, but since the device showed up when discovering BT devices, I pushed forward.
Since I'm running Windows 7, I downloaded TerraTerm to connect to the BT Module wirelessly. If your laptop does not have BlueTooth, you can get a $2 USB adapter here.
First, make sure you pair successfully. HC-05 showed up in my discovered bluetooth device list. My Terraterm found two com ports, 11 and 12, but uses 11 to receive data from the Arduino.
I uploaded the following sketch to the Arduino which is transmitting data from the Arduino wirelessly to my laptop (and to my android smartphone as well):
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); // RX, TX
int x=0;
void setup()
// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
void loop() // run over and over

Connecticut Flower & Garden show ready to pop
Garden show inspires backyard transformations
How do you choose which type of hydrangeas to plant when there are at least 300 beautiful varieties in Connecticut alone?
What's your garden's best defense against disease?
Is there an easy way to rid your fish pond or water garden of green water?
These are just a few of the things you can learn about at some of the 80 garden and plant-related seminars scheduled for the 33rd annual Connecticut Flower & Garden Show this week. The event takes place Thursday, Feb. 20, to Sunday, Feb. 23, at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.
Organizers promise that the show, with "Backyard Paradise" as its theme, will have visitors leaving with all kinds of ideas on how to make their backyards shine.
"There is something for every level of gardener," said Kristie Gonsalves, president of North East Expos, which presents and coordinates the show, which was attended by 38,000 people last year.
Nearly two acres of convention space are being transformed to accommodate the 300 vendors on hand, with fresh flowers, plants, herbs, bulbs, seeds, gardening books, garden equipment, a live butterfly exhibit and much more.
What's more, 20 gardens, created by professional landscape designers and nonprofit organizations, will fill at least one acre of the center. The gardens will include naturalistic, low-maintenance and organic settings.
For those who enjoy indoor gardening and the beauty and variety of potted plants, the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut exhibit is the place to stop.
That exhibit is also the site of the Federated Clubs' design and horticultural competition, a contest that has been an integral part of the flower and garden show since it began.
As has become the custom, the clubs and garden show share the same theme. Gonsalves explained why "Backyard Paradise" was chosen for this year's focus.
"With more people staying at home, not leaving on trips, we thought it was a good idea to concentrate on people's backyard environment. Because everything in the garden contributes to nature, why not enjoy your paradise?" said Gonsalves, whose dad, George Gonsalves, began the event.
As for the garden clubs' part of the show, some 12,000 entries are expected, said club president Jacqueline Connell, of Branford.
"There will be plans of all kinds and sizes, special exhibits and a judges' challenge where gardeners who are daring are given a specific plant to grow from seeds or bulbs," she said. "New this year is photography with four classes of landscape and floral photography."
Education is an important part of the show, so some 80 hours of seminars are scheduled, many focusing on organic gardening. Among the experts addressing that topic will be Lorraine Ballato, of Brookfield, and Newtowner Anita Dafonte.
Dafonte, who grows vegetables in a 40- by 60-foot raised bed, is the sales manager for Coast of Maine Organic and will talk about organic gardening in two seminars, "Beautiful Organic Vegetable Gardens" and "Starting Seeds."
What does she think is the most important ingredient in a lush garden?
"Healthy soil is the key to everything," she said. "Problems and successes begin from the ground up."
Ballato, who left the corporate world more than a decade ago to pursue her love of gardening, is an advanced master gardener, freelance writer and author of "Successful Self-Watering Containers: Converting Your Favorite Container to a Self Waterer." This year her seminars will focus on "Vegetables Contained" and "Foolproof Hydrangeas."
Ballato is also a cheerleader for the show. Asked why people should attend, she quickly said there are lots of reasons.
"One, who doesn't need a shot of spring, especially this year? Two, the show is absolutely beautiful and spectacular. Three, there's always something new to see and learn. You can attend as many lectures as you like and you can spend the day talking to other gardeners. Gardening education doesn't get much better."
And speaking of gardening education, here are answers to the questions raised at the start of this article.
When it comes to choosing hydrangeas, look at everything from the flowers' color to which time of season its most vibrant. Pick those which are best suited to your climate, soil and interest.
Your garden's best defense against disease? The answer is "you." Visit your garden every day to prevent problems from occurring.
An easy way to rid your fish pond or water garden of green water is to use ultraviolet light.

In a recent commentary, former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. exhorted Republican candidates not to whine about the allegedly liberal media ("How Republicans win in 2016," Nov. 25).
Of course, a few lines earlier, Mr. Ehrlich whined about just that, saying: "Remember that the major media are not exactly even-handed when it comes to candidate foibles. Nine out of 10 journalists vote Democratic. Most possess a left-leaning agenda."
Yet with the possible exception of The New York Times, the major media outlets in this country are owned by large, multinational corporations, most of whose top executives subscribe to a political outlook similar to Mr. Ehrlich's.
Why then are so many front-line journalists Democratic? Are they just hell-bent on disappointing their bosses and risking their careers?
Perhaps it is it simply that when one spends one's life immersed in the real world, as working journalists do, one witnesses the travails and challenges facing a large portion of the American population, and that tends to lead one to adopt what Mr. Ehrlich refers to as a "left-leaning agenda."
People who live in close touch with the real world tend to have values similar to the Democrats. Mr. Ehrlich and his GOP cronies have long since lost touch with reality.

Leaving Canada
Case Corporation is closing a Canadian manufacturing plant and moving the product lines across the border to plants in Illinois and North Dakota. The tillage and soil preparation equipment produced in the Hamilton, Ontario, Case plant will be manufactured in a Goodfield, IL, plant. Case acquired the Illinois plant last year when it purchased DMI. The other products from the Canadian plant will be manufactured in a Fargo, ND, plant that Case acquired in 1996 from Concord. Case reports that closing the Canadian plant and consolidating manufacturing should save the company $95 to $100 million a year.
Background checks
If you want to check the background of an investment firm or commodity broker dealing in futures, a new Web site will help answer your questions. The National Futures Association (NFA) is offering a new service online called BASIC. Available on BASIC are all disciplinary actions taken by NFA and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. The information provided at www.nfa.futures.org is free to the public. You may also call NFA at 800/ 621-3570 for additional help.
Troubled waters
Farmers can spot water quality and habitat problems by using an online assessment program offered on the Natural Resources Conservation Service's National Water and Climate Center (NWCC) Web site. The assessment program is located at www.wcc. nrcs.usda.gov and is found under the Water Quality and Quantity Sciences section. For more information, contact the NWCC at 503/414-3055.
U.S. corn banned in Europe
As farmers head to the fields this spring, they will care for fields of corn and soybeans that are banned in the European Union (EU). For the third year in a row, the EU is banning all corn exports from the United States based on the use of genetically modified (GM) corn varieties planted by our farmers. This ban is costing U.S. farmers an estimated $200 million in lost corn exports.
The U.S. Grains Council estimates that 311/2 million acres of corn, or 40% of U.S. corn acres, are GM varieties.
U.S. companies selling the GM corn varieties have applied for EU approval of their seeds. But only four varieties have been approved, and seven varieties are still in the approval process, which is taking two to three years. The EU bans all U.S. corn, fearing our inability to segregate the different varieties in the export process, according to Alex Jackson, director of trade relations for the U.S. Grains Council.
On the other hand, U.S. soybeans are still allowed for export into the EU. Two GM soybean varieties are approved for EU export, while 20 more varieties wait in the approval queue.
Last year, 30% of our soybean exports headed to the EU. Unfortunately, the amount of soybeans being exported this year is running 15 to 25% below the export number of a year ago, reports Jim Hershey with the American Soybean Association. Hershey attributes this drop to the large Brazilian crop, not to concerns about GM crops. But the concern with GM soybeans is growing and could impact exports in the future. For example, Great Britain seeks soybeans that are free of genetic modifications. About half of the U.S. soybean crop this summer is planted with GM varieties, Hershey estimates.
Zeneca, Monsanto agree on herbicide use
Growers should be able to use another herbicide on their Roundup Ready soybeans this summer. Zeneca and Monsanto reached an agreement to allow growers to apply Zeneca's Touchdown herbicide on Roundup Ready soybeans. Before this occurs, however, EPA must register the product for this use. EPA's registration is expected in time for this summer's growing season.
Once the registration is received, the special agreement between Zeneca and Monsanto will let growers use the herbicide on the soybeans without becoming involved in legal issues over patent rights for this application, provided they comply with any license or agreement they have with Monsanto or its seed licensees. The agreement also gives Zeneca the rights to test, register and sell Touchdown on Roundup Ready corn in the United States.
As part of the agreement, Zeneca, Monsanto and Pioneer Hi-Bred International agreed to dismiss the lawsuits they have pending against each other in Delaware and Missouri. These relate to the use of Touchdown over Roundup Ready crops and related Monsanto patents and to Monsanto's marketing practices.

Is it politically correct to lie?
Escape with Eddie
Who said, "To thine own self be true"? Seems to me it was Shakespeare. But who am I to quote such a lofty person? I grew up hearing this phrase from my mother, who believed that you should never lie to yourself, much less anyone else. Truth, as we all know, it what we should strive for in our daily lives.
Aside from that wonderful thought, what are we to do if, when asked what we think, we are bound to state the truth, or what someone wants us to say? Sometimes the truth is not palatable to the other person's ears. I mean really, should we blurt out the honest to gosh truth when we think the other person is an absolute mass of contradictions? Or should we reply to placate the other person's feelings?
Sometimes, when I watch the news, it boggles my mind to see how diplomatic we have all become. Everything is ensconced in politically correct language. Ten people can be photographed watching a stabbing in the street. Yet, when the news breaks, the language of coverage states, "alleged attack," negating the fact that we are all seeing the photograph of the attack. Is there something wrong with the truth of eye-witness accounts that are actually photographed?
Is it politically correct to state that illegal drug use in our local cities and counties is running rampant? Law enforcement is up to its collective ears in drug deals and dealers, but yet the proper image is to be maintained that life in the countryside is pastoral. When do you call a spade a spade?
I have attended numerous classes on diversity of culture, creed, color, belief systems, etc. At every single one of them I would hear the same thing: You can think it, but you can't say it. Well, it seems to me if you think it, it's part of your internal language. Biblically speaking, if you think a sin, you have committed the sin. Biblically speaking, if you repent of the sin, you can be forgiven.
This thinking brings to mind situations where people admit to slurs they made in the past and now regret and apologize for their occurrence. Instead of being forgiven with the realization that all of us have baggage we carry from the past, they are ostracized from society.
Who among us hasn't done things we regret? At what point should we all shut our mouths and remain mum, even when it demands we lie by omission? In those instances when our unvarnished truths would cause major harm, is it best to shut one's mouth? However, if we do not speak up and it causes others harm, what are we to do? I believe that truth in our lives is essential to our integrity.
At the center of all discussion lies the premise that someone is always right and someone is always wrong. Well, it appears to me that some discussions can go both ways. Where does that leave right and wrong? Should I lose my right to my beliefs and the right to speak to those beliefs? If I disagree with your about our ethics, does it make one of us right or wrong? Do we need to find ways to accept our disagreement, or do we duel it out?
One of the finest rights in our country is the right of free speech. I am beginning to wonder if in the final analysis political correctness is going to circumvent those rights. I may end up afraid to open my mouth.

Peanut Brittle Mixed

Thrilling, mystery, traveling, journey, presage, curious, film, movie, thriller, fear, excitement. If You like it, maybe You'll like this as well: Going To The Battlefield


text: How do I love thee? Love Heart Blocks let tots count twelve different ways. Designed by House Industries, each set of four blocks features a dozen colloquially-correct compositions of the sweet sentiment — so kiddos are introduced to English, Hebrew, French, Swedish, German, Arabic, Greek, Spanish, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, Korean all in a day's play — what's not to love about that? In addition to being smart, Love Heart Blocks are also easy on the eyes. Available in hues of red or black, the blocks are embossed with hearts which comprise a greater puzzle (much like the emotion itself). Made in the USA from replenishable Michigan-grown, kiln-dried basswood and printed by hand with non-toxic, lead-free child-safe inks, we think Love Heart Blocks shouldn't be reserved for child's play. The set would look très chic on a coffee table, shelf or desk, as a reminder of the universal language of love we all hold so dear.

JOHNSON CITY (Jan. 7, 2012) – The ETSU men's basketball team used a relentless defensive attack and 20-point efforts from senior guard Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) and junior guard Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.) to drop Mercer 76-61 in Atlantic Sun Conference action Saturday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
With the win, ETSU improves to 7-7 overall, 2-2 in A-Sun play, while the Bears drop to 11-7, 3-2.
"I thought our team had great energy early in the game and that was a big difference," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "Our press has worked really well this season, especially at home, and getting 15 steals tonight and forcing them into 21 turnovers was huge. We have been pretty good defensively all season and now with the offense seeming to be come around, we're riding a nice wave of momentum."
The Bucs, who shot 53 percent from the floor and 77 percent from the foul line for the game, got a game-high 23 points and six assists from Sollazzo, and 21 points from Dubose. Meanwhile, senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami) netted 16 points and blocked three shots.
Defensively, ETSU held the Bears to 41 percent shooting from the floor and forced 21 turnovers, which allowed the Bucs to outscore Mercer 16-0 on fast break points. For the Bears, Justin Cecil led their attack with a team-high 17 points.
In the first half, the two teams were tied at 7-7 before ETSU went on to outscore the Bears 42-23 the rest of the half and take a 49-30 lead at the break. In the second half, the Bucs lead grew to as many as 29 points at 69-40 with 6:54 left in the game, before ETSU substituted its entire bench and the Bears took advantage by outscoring the Bucs 21-7 the rest of the way.
Along with the offensive efforts of Sollazzo, Dubose and Brown, ETSU got a game-high 10 rebounds from junior forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.), while senior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) collected a game-high five steals. ETSU dished out 13 assists as a team, but did commit 16 turnovers.
While Cecil led the Bears, Mercer also got 12 points from Shaquille Harris and 11 from Daniel Coursey. The Bears out-rebounded the Bucs 32-30 and collected 12 assists, but Mercer shot just 54 percent from the foul line.
The Bucs will return to action Monday evening inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center, taking on A-Sun foe Kennesaw State at 6 p.m. The game will start one hour earlier than usual on Monday due to the college football national title game.

Affordable Care Act Has Implications for Farm Families
AMES, Iowa -- Considering the high cost of health insurance, farm families should become familiar with changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach human sciences specialists in family finance discuss the implications for farm families in the August issue of Ag Decision Maker.
"For the farm community and the public at large, a great deal of confusion has surrounded the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. Uncertainties remain in terms of the costs and benefits associated with its implementation," said Suzanne Bartholomae. "However, many of the new provisions of the ACA may address some of the issues faced by farm families when it comes to health coverage."
The health insurance consumption patterns of Iowa farmers differ from the population at large, USDA research shows. Iowa farm operators tend to have greater rates of insurance coverage than the general population, partially because of the dangerous nature of farming. To get health insurance coverage, family members often take off-farm jobs.
"Farmers use health insurance to protect their farms from risk, and many farm operations support multiple farm families," added Susan Taylor.
Bartholomae and Taylor examine the Health Insurance Marketplace, essential benefits, tax credits and cost-sharing options. See the complete story in the Ag Decision Maker newsletter.

I'm getting started with opengl, and I'm facing issues with the lighting. My problem is that I'm drawing a red shape, but it is rendered white. I'm sure I missing something elementary...
I'm developing in Java using the JOGL libraries.
Here is how I setup the lighting in the init method:
Code :gl.glLightfv(GLLightingFunc.GL_LIGHT0, GLLightingFunc.GL_AMBIENT, new float[]{.5f, .5f, .5f, .5f}, 0); gl.glEnable(GL2ES1.GL_LIGHTING); gl.glEnable(GL2ES1.GL_LIGHT0);

Code :gl.glBegin(GL.GL_TRIANGLES); gl.glColor3f(1, 0, 0); gl.glNormal3f(0f, 0f, 1f); gl.glVertex3f(0, 0, -5); gl.glVertex3f(1, 0, -5); gl.glVertex3f(0, 1, -5); gl.glEnd();
Like I said, the triangle is rendered completely white. What am I doing wrong?
I'm attaching the entire code if it can help.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any honest SEO will tell you that, unfortunately, this business seems to attract more than its fair share of scam artists. What makes it worse is the number of people who claim to be SEOs and think they know what they're doing, but discover they don't the next time Google runs an update. Sometimes, we read about a particularly egregious scammer, and feel a need to spread the word.
The latest scammer worthy of note may not have hit the newspapers with the force that JC Penney's mistake did early last year, but it seems to have caused a lot more pain on a personal level for those who were taken in. The short version of this story, like Penney's, is all about link building, with one big difference: the guy collecting the money for the service never came through – and he mostly didn't give refunds to angry customers, either.
The story came up for discussion on our SEO Chat forums. Understand, though, that the scammer himself DIDN'T appear on our forums. As one of our fearless moderators notes, "He would never get away with that BS here." The dodgy character showed up on a completely different forum (which shall remain nameless) as a new member. He offered a link building service that, as described and for the amount of money being asked, was "too good to be true" to anyone who knows anything about SEO.
I won't link to the thread on the other forum here, or use that business's name (or the name of the scammer's business). I will only say that the other forum has been established long enough to really make you wonder how this could have happened; one would think there were enough experienced people around as members there to read the red flags a lot sooner. (Buyer beware!).
The scammer's offer on the other forum kicks off a 17-page thread that starts June 10 – when the scammer himself had just joined the forum the previous month. The scammer asks for half the money in advance, the remaining half when the work is done, and promises top results for keywords in Google. The price quoted for the work is under $150 – ridiculously low for this kind of service, especially since he's claiming to be totally white hat and promising results within four to eight weeks. Besides, nobody can guarantee their clients the top spot in Google.
Nevertheless, the scammer gets some interest and sign-ups. By the third page of the thread, some are asking for proof of the scammer's work and want to know what kind of link building he does. He apparently sends proof in private messages, and addresses other questions. By page seven, though, there are signs of discontent. We're now up to July 4, and one of his earliest customers is asking if their report has been sent out yet. The scammer reminds users to be patient; reports are monthly, and it hasn't quite been a month yet.
The scammer's customers are definitely starting to get restless. Several note that they haven't seen any movement or results for their websites, and are wondering if anyone else has. Yet some are still buying the package he's offering. On page nine, just a day or two later, with lots of people asking for a report, the scammer seems to have gone silent, at least temporarily.
By this time, almost everyone is noticing little or no movement on the keywords for which they signed up – and what little movement they do see could be due to efforts other than the scammer's. An example post: "Now, only 2 of my 20 keywords are in the top 1000 (not 100, 1000). Meanwhile, keywords that I have been working on myself have made good moves into the top 100 in the same period of time (similar competitiveness too)."
So the scammer begins his stalling and delaying tactics, trying to avoid sending out any reports. On page ten of the thread, one of the posters notes that he did research on the company before signing up, and found a YouTube testimonial for the services. He was reassured – until he found the person who did the testimonial on Fiverr. Fiverr, in case you aren't familiar with it, is an Israeli-based company that offers an online marketplace where users can sell their services for $5, sometimes with add-ons. Often, the service involves producing a short video and sending it to the buyer. The Fiverr gig for the person who gave the scammer a YouTube testimonial was...doing a video testimonial. Yeah, that's at least a little suspicious.
Next, one forum poster notes that the scammer hasn't even optimized his own website to appear in the top 10 pages of Google for the keyword "SEO." The forum's members are starting to notice other discrepancies between the scammer's claims and what they've been able to find out about him publicly, as well – such as his claim of 10 years of SEO experience, and the fact that his business website was registered in May of 2012 (coincidentally, the same month he registered as a member for that forum). Still, the scammer manages to explain these discrepancies away.
By page 11 – July 23 – forum members are asking for refunds. In fact, some members have been asking for refunds for a week and haven't gotten them yet. Also, another fake testimonial from a different Fiverr user got posted and identified.
By page 12 – July 28 -- the scammer is starting to send a few refunds here and there. Some of them are in the form of echecks that supposedly take three to five days to clear. On this page, one of the forum members notes his experience with echecks: "an echeck refund is used as a refund because there is no money in a seller's PayPal account (been withdrawn), or it's used to buy time." And in fact, echecks are not clearing in this situation.
By the bottom of this page, forum members are starting to hunt down information about the scammer and noting discrepancies in his PayPal account and his Whois for his business website. By August 1 (page 13), it's become obvious to everyone that this was a scam. One poster reports that the scammer has even taken down his own website, and his e-mail doesn't work anymore. By the bottom of page 13, someone has found a post related to the scammer on another forum; apparently, he's been conning people since 2009 at least.
But wait, it gets better. By August 2, someone turns up an article about the scammer pleading guilty to four counts of extortion and receiving a suspended sentence. And eventually, it appears that he returns to the forum – under a different name, with a different offer.
What can you learn from this? Thoroughly investigate any claims or offers. Don't just listen to testimonials; get references. Be very suspicious if and when the information you're getting doesn't hold together. And for any deal, not just SEO, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is just that. Good luck!

Animal Print Bow Dress
Added Jan 20, 2013
Qld, Australia
This dress was pretty simple and I really loved the end result being fully lined, slim fitting, front pleats with cute little bow. I ended up making two versions of this dress one using stretch cotton and the second using wool. One for summer and one for winter!
I love this style of dress it turned out really lovely and better than I could have hoped.
Material Notes
Cotton & Wool for these two versions

Ancestor Approved Award....
1. In reading some old letters that my maternal grandfather wrote to his soon to be 2nd wife, well let's just say he was quite the romantic guy. Who would have guessed. lol
2. In reading those same letters, I discovered that even though he left school in the 4th grade (due to having to go to work to help the family out) he was a very smart man. And I'm very proud of him & what he accomplished in his life-time.
3. I found out the reason why my own father left school in the 10th grade. My grandmother & grandfather could not afford to send both him & his sister to school. So to give his little sister, who was 8 years younger, the chance of an education he quit school. And to the day she died, she never forgot what a sacrifice he made for her.
4. Through out the years, we had always been told that my maternal great grandmother Lindsey was a Pentecostal preacher. So of course when I found a couple of photos of her holding a book in a prominent way in these photos, I just took it for granted that she was holding a Bible. Wrong! Turns out, after looking at the photo with a magnifying glass, it is a dictionary that she is holding.....in BOTH photos. I'm going to say the photos had to be taken several years apart. Just why she wanted to be holding a dictionary, I don't have a clue.
5. Also, I have been quite surprised at the number of female relatives who have gotten married around the age of 15 - 16. Yet the males in the families tend not to get married until they are in their 30's a lot of the time. You'd think they must have had been married before, but so far I haven't found that to be true.
6. OK, speaking of marriages, it has been hinted within the family that my paternal grandfather had a child before he married my grandmother. (((pssst, we'd always heard he was a bit wild, you know? lol))) Then one day I was talking to my older sister & that subject came up. That's when she mention that Granddaddy "had" been married & divorced before meeting our grandmother. She had seen the divorce papers. Whoa! OK, now that was news to me. And the kicker of all of that? I found out in my research that yes, he had been married before, not once but TWICE before meeting our grandmother. lol
7. I discovered that every time I find where some relative died at birth, or at a very young age, I just want to cry. It just saddens me to know that they didn't get to experience life that we often take for granted.
8. My Aunt Helen had 3 sons who joined the military back when WWII & the Korean War was going on. I'm very proud of their military careers. One even went on to work for the CIA. One was a MP & a sharpshooter. And one had such a hard job that he was required to perform in the war, yet he was a very gentle man. I would love to know more about their service careers, but sad to say they are gone now. I am very proud of all of my relatives who served in the military.
9. And for me, it is always heart breaking to disprove those family folklores that have been passed down through the generations. Sometimes you just don't want to tell anyone of your findings. ***sigh***
10. Then lastly, in a way, it saddens me that I never got to meet all of these people that I have discovered in my research. I often wonder what their thoughts were, what their lives were like, what did they do for fun, what did they look like, etc..... And I think that "is" why I do genealogy, so they aren't forgotten.
WOW That wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. :-) Now I know I am supposed to pass this award on to 10 more people, but since I am SO late it doing it, I think I'll pass on that. Just know I am honored to receive the award.....thanks Joan! Heck, it humbles me to know that anyone even follows my Blog. And I promise I'm going to try & do better with my posting.
Later, Deb

Thanks Greta! I know, so sad on those who don't make it. There is a group photo of my Mom's parents & their kids. And when my sister saw it, she pointed to one young girl & said she looked like me. Come to find out, this girl died about a year later (at the age of 12) due to injuries she suffered from falling into a fire. I was heartbroken when I heard that! :-(

This is such a great post, Aunt Deb. I can relate to so many things that you posted. I have found so many tidbits that made me laugh...and then there were others that I thought, "Oh, no!"~surely this is not my family, LOL! And there have been several that have made me cry, too.
Thanks for sharing all of these~I didn't realize that grandpa had quit school in the 10th grade--or a few other things that you mentioned.

Thanks Mary! Yeah, genealogy can really get to you at times. Though we might not get to meet some of our ancestors, that still doesn't mean we can't get to know them. And I'm honored that I have the chance of telling their stories so that they are not forgotten. :-)
I thought y'all knew that about Daddy. But yeah, times were so hard for them at that time, they just didn't have the money to send both them to school. He was one very special man/brother/father/grandfather/friend. :-)

Wonderful post, Deb! I can relate to your feelings of sadness. I keep telling myself that one day, I am going to sit down and meet all my wonderful ancestors and have all my questions answered! :)

Past Minnesota tax cuts are today's problems
Lori Sturdevant, Star Tribune Commentary, April 21, 2013 – You're going to hear a lot about state income tax rates between now and May 20, Minnesotans. It can't be helped.
That's what happens when the "no new taxes" rule that really meant "no income tax increases" is finally lifted at the Capitol, after a dozen years of keeping legislators' hands off the working levers of state government's most powerful revenue-raising machine.
DFL control of the House, Senate and governor's office, delivered by the voters of 2012, means that this year's question has not been whether rates would rise, but by how much and for whom.
Adjusting the rates and the incomes on which they fall was never exactly a routine matter at the Legislature, I'll admit. But the fact that Minnesota passed through the perils of two recessions and battled unrelenting budget deficits without fiddling with those levers is a testament to the chokehold that "no new taxes" had on this state's governance.
To illustrate how comparatively easy it once was to adjust the personal income tax, consider a tax rate tale of yesteryear.
The year was 2000 — the heyday of the dot.com bubble. A lot of seemingly smart people were wondering whether the Internet bonanza could keep good times rolling indefinitely.
The 1999 session was the first for third-party, "give-it-all-back" Gov. Jesse Ventura, and the first in 14 years in which Republicans controlled the House. It had produced a whopping $2.9 billion state tax cut that, among other things, took down the rates in all three of the state's income tax tiers. The bottom one went from 6 percent to 5.5 percent, the middle from 8 percent to 7.25 percent, and the third-tier rate — the one that gets the business community's attention — went from 8.5 percent to 8 percent.
Tax-cutters might have rested on their laurels for that biennium. But when a $1.8 billion surplus showed up in time for the 2000 session, the drumbeat resumed for income tax cuts. DFLers sought more education spending. And Ventura, the proud owner of a 1990 Porsche, coveted a discount on license tabs.
The end-of-session negotiations seemed hopelessly stalled until Sen. Roger Moe, then serving his 20th year as DFL majority leader, trotted out a formula he had used to good effect when government was divided 19 years before — the one-third, one-third, one-third deal. Each of the three negotiating parties — the House GOP majority, Senate DFL majority and Ventura — would decide what to do with $569 million.
The deal was announced on a Sunday. By 7 a.m. the following Wednesday, the session was over, and the new state income tax rates were 5.35 percent, 7.05 percent and 7.85 percent. The big winners were the state's biggest earners. Married joint filers with state-median incomes would get a measly $42 income tax reduction, this newspaper reported. Defenders of the new rates shrugged. The rich are the big taxpayers, too, they said.
On a percentage-of-income basis, that wasn't true. It would become less true over time.
But for today's purposes, the salient flaw in the case for the 2000 rate cuts was its prediction that state government could easily afford them. Eighteen months later, the state was in serious deficit trouble. The 2002 session started a tide of red ink that, with scant interruption, continues to this year. The 2002 election brought a new governor and more legislators to the Capitol who had taken a "no new (income) taxes" vow. The 2000 rates held.
Absent their promise, what might have happened? It's a good guess that at least the 2000 rates would have been rolled back to 1999 levels, possibly as early as 2003. More adjustments likely would have ensued as lawmakers noticed that only the wealthy were experiencing income growth, while the share of total Minnesota income that flowed to the bottom 40 percent of earners dropped below 10 percent in 2006 for the first time since such records had been kept, and has been falling since.
"It's a funny thing," Moe observed last week. "If you were to ask Minnesotans which they'd rather have, today's income tax rates or the ones in 1998, most would say 1998. Most people don't even know they got a tax cut in 1999 and 2000." He wishes that he'd held out for banking state surpluses for good public purposes — say a medical education or preschool endowment, or an infrastructure emergency repair bank.
The Department of Revenue's gurus couldn't tell me on short notice last week what a return to the rates of 1999 would do for the state budget today. But, interestingly, they had the impact of the 1998 rates at their fingertips. Those rates would bring state coffers an additional $2.45 billion in 2014-15 — approximately the sum that many DFLers want to add to the budget this year.
Gov. Mark Dayton's idea is to keep the 2000 rates for everybody but the top 2 percent of earners. They'd get nicked with a new fourth tier — 9.85 percent, falling on that portion of married joint filers' taxable incomes exceeding $250,000. House and Senate DFLers have different ideas involving lower rates applying to more filers.
No matter what numbers they settle on, you're bound to hear that the increase is too big. The critics will have a point. Tax changes ought to be made in mincing steps, not giant strides. Big changes often distort economic activity in unpleasant ways.
But "no new taxes" prevented a dozen years of more advisable tweaks. As the economy was transformed by two recessions, gaping income inequality and growing demand for the education state government provides, Minnesota kept collecting income taxes as if it were 2000.
So get ready for four weeks of news about tax rates, Minnesotans. You'll be hearing about "overreach." When you do, another word should spring to mind: "overdue."

Maharashtra Day, and the papers are full of Ashok Chavan's misdeeds. 'Aadarsh' is going to be his albatross. But what about the others? Kalmadi did nine months inside. Just nine. Months, not years. Chavan may not do even nine hours. Hey Devaaaaaaa
The daughters who did not accompany Avantikka and me on this trip are glaring at the carefully picked gifts for them in a rather hostile way. They love the presents. But they would have loved to be with us in Monaco and Paris even more. How should I make it up to them??? Advice? Suggestions?
I am terrified enough (of the two) right now to refrain from sharing all those wonderful pictures I have shot.... including aerial views from the helicopter (HeliAir) that took us from Nice to Monte Carlo. You guys want to see them, right??????

Two Topeka Men Plead Guilty In Separate Armed Robberies
TOPEKA, KAN. – Two Topeka men have pleaded guilty to federal charges in separate armed robberies, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said today.
Johnnie Lee McCall, 28, Topeka, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting commercial robbery and one count of aiding and abetting brandishing a firearm in connection with a March 1, 2013, robbery at a Little Caesars Pizza.
Jordan Christopher Lucas, 26, Topeka, pleaded guilty to one count of commercial robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm in connection with a Feb. 27, 2013 robbery at Baskin Robbins, 4400 S.W. 21st in Topeka.
In his plea, McCall admitted that on March 1, 2013, he was riding in an automobile with co-defendant Alonzo Lax and others when he gave Lax a firearm and directed him to rob the Little Caesars Pizza at 2620 S.W. 6th Street, Suite B, in Topeka. Lax entered the restaurant brandishing the firearm. After taking money from the clerks, Lax got back in the car and the men fled the scene. The men later divided up the money from the restaurant.
Police later recovered the handgun, cash and clothing from the robbery.
McCall is set for sentencing Aug. 19. Both parties have agreed to recommend a sentence of 180 months in federal prison.
Lucas is set for sentencing Sept. 3. He faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on the robbery charge, and a penalty of not less than seven years and a fine up to $250,000 on the firearm charge.
Co-defendants in the case include:
Alonzo Lax, 26, Topeka, who pleaded guilty to robbery and brandishing a firearm during the robbery at Little Caesars. He is set for sentencing Aug. 13.
David Wigfall, 27, Topeka, who is awaiting trial.
Grissom commended the Topeka Police Department, the FBI and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Maag for their work on the case.
In all cases, defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty. The indictments merely contain allegations of criminal conduct.

Yesterday morning Bruce and I made the decision to spend our Memorial Day afternoon down at the river. By mid day, we were on our way to the 53rd annual Boatnik Memorial Day Celebration on the Rogue River in Grants Pass, Oregon. Before we headed out the door, I had a pound of fresh Oregon free range lamb that I tossed in the slow cooker to cook low and slow for an easy dinner when we got back home.
If you don't own a slow cooker, I highly suggest that you go out and get one. Slow cookers are perfect for busy people such as Bruce and myself. They are inexpensive to buy and really easy to use. Just toss in your ingredients, plug it in, disappear for a few hours, and when you get back, dinner will be nearly done!
In all the years that I have lived in Oregon, I never once attended Boatnik… I am now asking myself what the heck was I thinking? Boatnik is three days of carnival rides, food, boat races and tons of family fun!
Bruce and I found a shady spot under a tree along the river with a great view of the jet boat race. The weather was perfect and we sat right before the finish line. We ate our lunch and watched the jet boats fly by on the surface of the water.
These little jet boats go crazy fast! During one part of the race, a boat driver caught a bit too much air and crashed his boat. Fortunately, he's doing okay.
What fun! I really want one… I'm quite positive that Bruce would say nope, uh-uh, no way, no how, not happening Tess… Oh well, I'm not gonna argue. I know when to save my bullets :).
By the time we got home, we had tender lamb waiting for us in the slow cooker. I added a splash of white wine, some flour to thicken the sauce, prepared the mascarpone polenta, picked lettuce for the green salad and less than an hour later, dinner was ready. It was simply delicious! Enjoy! Tessa
Slow Cooked Lamb Ingredients:
- 1 pound lamb stew meat (I used local Oregon free range)
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup water
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 white wine
- 2 Tbs flour
- 2 tsp garlic paste
Begin by grabbing a nonstick fry pan. Place on stove and heat to medium high heat. Add lamb, onion and canola oil. Cook until lamb is golden brown and the onion is cooked. Add mixture to slow cooker. Add black pepper, seasoning salt, thyme, 1 cup water, and 1 chicken bouillon cube. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours.
When you get back, whisk together the 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup white wine, 2 Tbs flour and 2 tsp garlic paste. Add mixture to crock pot, give a quick stir and cover. Cook for another half an hour or until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Taste and correct your seasonings. Meanwhile, prepare the Mascarpone Polenta…
Mascarpone Polenta Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2/3 cups polenta
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
Grab a covered sauce pan and bring to water, salt and olive oil to a boil. Add polenta and whisk to mix. Cover, turn heat down to low and cook for about 20 – 30 minutes stirring occasionally until polenta is cooked and thickened. Stir in the mascarpone cheese.
Ladle hot polenta onto four plates or shallow bowls. Divide lamb mixture and add to top of the mascarpone polenta. Garnish with fresh sprigs of thyme. Serve with a fresh green salad on the side. Makes 4 servings.
