Pretty food simply tastes better!
Here I thought I was being sooo smart, making supper-time vegetables first thing in the morning.
The recipe was a reprise of Day 36's Swedish Beets, the food obsession of the moment.
With a freezer full of frozen vegetables needing cooking+consumption, I piled a couple of bags - still frozen - into a big glass jar while the vinegar mix was heating up in the microwave, tossed them together and threw the jar in the frig.
The idea: The hot liquid would thaw the vegetables. The vinegar would cook them.
Eight hours later - the vegetables were still a bit icy and, well, raw.
Twenty-four hours later - delicious, a summer standby.
Active time: 5 minutes
Time to table: 24 hours
Serves 8
1 cup cider vinegar (I'm liking cider vinegar a bit more though the white is perfectly good too)
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar (reduced from 1/2 cup in Swedish beets)
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper (a defining ingredient, don't skip it)
16 ounces cut frozen green beans (or whatever you like)
16 ounces frozen stir-fry vegetables (snow peas, red pepper, broccoli, waterchestnut - or whatever you like)
Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and pepper in a microwave container. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to boil in the microwave, stirring after 1 minute to help sugar dissolve. Meanwhile place the frozen vegetables in a storage container. Pour hot liquid over the vegetables and refrigerate for 24 hours, turning the container occasionally if a few vegetables aren't immersed in the liquid.
Per Serving: 55 Cal (1% from Fat, 8% from Protein, 91% from Carb); 1 g Protein; 0 g Tot Fat; 0 g Sat Fat; 11 g Carb; 3 g Fiber; 23 mg Calcium; 1 mg Iron; 603 mg Sodium; 0 mg Cholesterol, Weight Watchers 0 points
ALANNA's TIPS
- Even after 24 hours of 'cooking' in the vinegar, the vegetables may have more crunch than everyone appreciates. Try steaming a bit before adding the hot liquid.
- These do look absolutely stunning in a glass jar - worthy of a purchase!

Just occasionally it eats a stray sock or something. But its seems to have had a bad day this time: Oh dear! It must have bumped the fireplace and then gotten tangled up in the resulting chaos. No real harm done, but it did look pretty funny.

Asteroid 2012 DA14 will pass inside the ring of satellites that circle the planet, but scientists say Canadians shouldn't be worried about a collision.
Peter Brown, a scientist at Western University in London, Ont., says it's the largest asteroid on record to pass so close to the Earth — 27,600 kilometres.
It is expected to pass over the Indian Ocean at around 2:30 p.m. EST.
"Things of this size get this close to the Earth or closer only about once every 40 years," Brown, who studies asteroids and meteors, said in an interview. ''So it's an unusual event."
The asteroid will come so close that the Earth's gravity will change its orbit, but it won't be dragged down.
"We know with absolute certainty it will not impact the Earth on Friday," Brown said. "And we can say that there's a very low chance — maybe one chance in 300,000 — that it will impact (the Earth) in the next 100 years or so."
Brown said the asteroid will be visible by binoculars in areas like Indonesia, eastern Europe, Asia and Australia, although it will be moving very fast.
It will be visible from North America later in the evening but only with high-powered telescopes.
NASA will provide coverage on its website, beginning at about 2 p.m. EST.
Asteroid 2012 DA14 is the same size as a space boulder that exploded over a wooded area in Siberia in 1908 in what became known as the Tunguska event. About 2,000 square kilometres of trees were flattened in an uninhabited area.
"It was not detected before impact," Brown added. "Although with the current telescopic surveys that are going on, there's a reasonable chance that an object like Tunguska could be detected before it impacted the Earth."
Brown also pointed out that scientists have become better at understanding and documenting the orbits of potentially dangerous asteroids.
"There are about 1,000 asteroids that get fairly close to the Earth and cross the Earth's orbit that are one-kilometre in size," Brown said, adding the orbits of 90 per cent of them are known.
"So we can say with definitiveness that of all the ones that we have accurate orbital data for, none of them are going to hit in the next 100 years."
Alan Hildebrand of the University of Calgary says studies are already being done to see how a threatening asteroid can be deflected.
"People have talked of many different concepts for moving or diverting asteroids," the planetary scientist said in an interview.
One option would involve exploding a device near an asteroid while another would use a spacecraft to pull it away.
"Some people would say you fly a spacecraft alongside and just the mass of the spacecraft will pull it — that's the gravity tractor idea," he said.
There's also the notion of using lasers or an ion beam to vaporize some of the surface of an asteroid.
Hildebrand will get a chance to take a closer look at asteroids when NEOSSat, a Canadian satellite, blasts off from India on Feb. 25. He's one of the project's principal investigators.
NEOSSat (Near Earth Object Surveillance Satellite) will circle the globe every 100 minutes and scan areas near the sun to pinpoint as yet undetected asteroids.
The $15-million suitcase-sized satellite, which will circle about 800 kilometres above the Earth, is the first dedicated space telescope to look for potentially hazardous asteroids.
"Our prime science mission is to search for the population of asteroids that orbit mostly inside Earth's orbit or entirely inside Earth's orbit," Hildebrand said.
"We're looking in the sky near the sun which is hard to do from the ground (and) we'll be filling in a part of orbital space which is poorly known so far."

Pakistani Beauty Queen Charged in Alleged Mortgage Scam
(NEW YORK) -- A Pakistani beauty queen has been charged with scamming dozens of San Jose, Calif., families in what prosecutors say was a phony mortgage refinancing scheme.
Saman Hasnain, who won the 2008 Mrs. Pakistan World beauty pageant, has been charged with 19 felony counts of conspiracy to commit grand theft. Her husband, Jawad, is facing an additional nine counts for allegedly luring even more victims between 2006 and 2010 in a fraudulent 10-unit condominium redevelopment.
Prosecutors say Hasnain, described as having "almond shaped eyes, flawless skin, and full beautiful lips" on her pageant profile, relied heavily on her looks to entice her victims.
Between 2008 and 2010, she and her husband allegedly posted fliers and ads in local ethnic supermarkets in the San Jose area, promising homeowners they could secure new mortgages for them at cheaper rates.
Given Hasnain's high profile, word of their so-called business endeavour spread, and eventually, between 80 and 100 homeowners had signed up, prosecutors say.
But the new, affordable mortgages never materialized.
According to the Santa Clara District Attorney's Office, the couple put their victims' money into an escrow account, and promised a full refund if they couldn't get the loans refinanced.
But the fine print of the contracts allowed Jawad to withdraw everything from the escrow account. A number of victims lost their homes as a result.
Prosecutors have charged the couple with grand theft, because they say the Hasnains made no effort to get the loans modified, and never refunded any of the money, despite repeated pleas from their victims.
If convicted, Saman could face at least four years behind bars, and Jawad close to 20. But there's a catch.
Earlier this month, the couple left for Lahore, Pakistan -- leaving no indication they intend to return. Because Pakistan has no extradition treaty with the United States, it's possible the couple could stay there indefinitely, meaning they may never face trial in the United States.

The powers of the modern House of Lords are extremely limited—necessarily so, since the permanent and substantial majority enjoyed there by the Conservative Party would otherwise be incompatible with the principles of representative government. The House of Lords' powers are defined in the Parliament Act of 1911 and 1949. Under the 1911 act, all bills specified by the speaker of the House of Commons as money bills (involving taxation or expenditures) become law one month after being sent for consideration to the House of Lords, with or without the consent of that house. Under the 1949 act, all other public bills (except bills to extend the maximum duration of Parliament) not receiving the approval of the House of Lords become law provided that they are passed by two successive parliamentary sessions and that a period of one year has elapsed between the bill's second reading in the first session and its third reading in the second session. On rare occasions the 1949 act has been used to pass controversial legislation lacking the Lords' support—including the War Crimes Act of 1991, which enabled Britain to prosecute alleged war criminals who became British citizens or residents of Britain. A principal effect of the act has thus been to discourage the House of Lords from opposing bills strongly supported by the House of Commons. The Salisbury convention of 1945, which prevents the Lords from rejecting a bill at second reading (the principal stage at which parliamentary bills are debated) if it fulfills any pledge in the government's election manifesto, has further constrained the Lords' power.
Despite these limitations, the House of Lords plays a significant role in Parliament. Its most useful functions are the revision of bills that the House of Commons has not formulated in sufficient detail and the first hearing of noncontroversial bills that are then able, with a minimum of debate, to pass through the House of Commons. It is further argued by some observers that the House of Lords serves a valuable function by providing a national forum of debate free from the constraints of party discipline. Although the defeat of government legislation by the house has been relatively rare on major legislation, it sometimes does defy the government, especially Labour Party governments. For example, 230 pieces of legislation proposed by the Labour government of 1974–79 were defeated by the House of Lords.
In 1998 the Labour government of Tony Blair introduced legislation to deprive hereditary peers (by then numbering 750) of their 700-year-old right to sit and vote in the upper chamber. A compromise, however, allowed 92 of them—who were elected by their fellow peers—to remain as temporary members. The measure, which went into effect in late 1999, was seen as a prelude to wider reform, and in 2007 members of the House of Commons offered support for two separate proposals, one calling for the House of Lords to be 80-percent elected, the other 100-percent elected. The nonbinding vote was influential in forming the July 2008 White Paper put forward by Justice Secretary Jack Straw that outlined potential reforms. These included the reduction of the total number of lords, the complete severance of ties between the peerage and seats in Parliament, and an either 80- or 100-percent elected chamber consisting of lords serving nonrenewable 12- or 15-year terms. Future votes in both houses were required before any such restructuring of the House of Lords could occur.

The 2012 MLB draft got underway yesterday. There won't be a lot of draft coverage at the Trail. Lots of people get paid a lot of money to prognosticate, predict, and pull apart the players major league teams draft every year. I am not one of them.
For a small-market team like San Diego, however, the draft is the main way the club can improve. Some would say the only way. So even I can't completely ignore it.
Last year the Padres had 2 first round and 3 compensatory picks, and they used those selections to take 2 college infielders (Cory Spangenberg/Jace Peterson), 2 high school pitchers (Joe Ross and Michael Kelly) and a high school catcher (Brett Austin, who ultimately didn't sign). This year, the Padres had one first round pick and 3 compensatory picks. They again focused the majority of their picks at the HS level, taking 3 pitchers. The other pick was for a college OF.
Max Fried is the Padres #1 pick (seventh overall) for 2012. A lot of folks thought they would get the kid Correa, a shortstop from Puerto Rico, but Houston took him first overall and kind of blew that plan up. Fried was rated the #1 left-handed pitcher in the entire draft by Baseball America. I would think he's got to be estatic on a number of levels, not the least of which is the future opportunity to make half his starts in the best pitcher's park the NL has to offer. He's from Encino, CA, and played at Harvard-Westlake HS, which I only mention because my father taught there for the better part of 30 years (he semi-retired and moved out of the state in 2002) so I have a small affinity for the school.He's committed to play for UCLA in the fall. With the new slotting rules in effect this year it will be interesting to see if San Diego can throw enough money at him to lure him into the organization. Would that we all had such problems at 18.
Zach Eflin is not a Disney Channel teen show character name, he's the Padres #2 pick (#33 overall), a 6-5, 200 pound RHP out of Haglin HS in Florida. A quick google search reveals he has 3 solid pitches (fastball/curveball/change), hits 92 on the gun with the fastball, and has improved dramatically over the past 12 months. Eflin appears to be a bit of a project - my opinion entirely, and only based on the radical change in his mechanics over the past year - but he also appears to be a guy with a ton of upside, much like Fried. These are exactly the types of kids San Diego should be taking now given the current state of their minor league system (read: stacked), guys they probably would not have willing to touch even 2 years ago.
Travis Jankowski is the lone position player taken by the Padres in the first round (#3 pick, #44 overall), a 6-3 CF from Stony Brook U in New York. He was named a Louisville Slugger second-team All-American this year and is the current American East player of the year. He's just finished his junior year of college and I would imagine will turn pro now that he's a first round draft pick. Based on his college numbers he looks like a kid with gap-to-gap power, and he has speed on the basepaths. I'll assume he's a good defensive OF, which he'll have to be in order to play at Petco. San Diego has a lot of OF on the major league roster, but those who know think the organization suffers from a lack of OF depth. Good pick, then, this one is.
The team's last first round pick (#55 overall) is Walker Weickel, another tall (6-6) RHP out of Florida (Olympia HS). He reportedly also features fastball/curveball/change up, and his fastball can reach 94. He's only 195 pounds - a big skinny guy - which means he still has room to grow, put on muscle, and possibly throw harder than that before he's done. Yet another guy with a ton of potential as a pitcher.
Given the lack of an impact bat on the major league roster, many thought the Padres would focus on getting hitters in this draft; after all, they have stockpiled good pitching prospects over the past few drafts and traded for others. However it appears they took the best talent available when it was their turn, and I for one am totally OK with that. Of course, if they don't sign all these guys it's for naught, so let's see how that plays out over the upcoming weeks.

Caveat: As I do every year, I'll tell you up front - I am not a draft expert. If you've come here looking for in-depth analysis on these 4 men you'll want to look elsewhere.

Sea Machines Demonstrates Autonomous Spill-Response Vessel
As a part of its cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD), Boston-based Sea Machines Robotics announces that it has successfully demonstrated its autonomous systems in action on board a Kvichak Marco skimmer boat during events held along the Portland harbor earlier today.Sea Machines' technology opens a new era of capability for the marine industry, and today the company demonstrated its ability to increase the safety, productivity and predictability of response for marine oil-spill operations.
STEM is so 'Yesterday's News'
Recently I was attending the United Nations Science Technology and Innovation conference (STI Forum). While I attended to present on Wave Energy Conversion, the main subject at the conference was STEM education and STEM gender inequality. Almost every country in the world reports a lack of available STEM educated workers, and also reports that they have had problems engaging the non-male population in STEM professions.The discussions were extremely far and wide ranging, but when all was said and done, the single sense I came away with is that nobody at the United Nations had a clear idea on solving either problem. As an engineer I am struck that there is such a tight focus on STEM.
Fire Hits PDVSA Tanker at Amuay Bay
A fire swept through the engine room of a tanker owned by Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA on Monday while it was anchored at Amuay Bay near the country's largest refinery, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.The extent of the damage to the Panama-flagged Aframax tanker Proteo was not immediately clear. But it highlighted the poor state of much of the fleet belonging to PDV Marina, PDVSA's shipping subsidiary, at a time when U.S. sanctions are complicating its ability to lease vessels from third parties.Even before this fire, the Proteo had been inoperative, one of the sources said."The vessel is currently inoperative.
RAL, MTU Team Up on LNG Pushboat
Natural gas is quickly becoming the "fuel of choice" for the maritime industry, not only for its potential in reducing environmentally hazardous gas emissions, but also for its reduced cost when compared to other fossil fuel-based alternatives.For natural gas to become a preferred marine fuel, its availability needs to improve, and this fact alone has hindered its growth in some parts of the world. Some of Robert Allan Ltd.'s clients are actively engaged in developing the required infrastructure to make natural gas more readily available.Robert Allan Ltd.
Offshore Wind: Regulatory "Takes" – Take a Close Look
On April 30 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published a notice, requesting public comments, on a proposed "incidental harassment authorization" (IHA). An IHA is a legal and enforceable document presenting the terms and conditions with which a company must adhere in order to protect wildlife. In this case, the draft IHA was for Vineyard Wind, the wind energy company ready to start construction on an 800 MW offshore wind farm in the Atlantic, covering about 675 square kilometers, starting 14 miles from the coastline of Martha's Vineyard.

The universe has always been an enigmatic place to human kind. It is said that eons ago, the only thing that existed was a dark, foreboding void. In time, however the Gods created the stars, the planets, and above all, life. This was their masterpiece work. Each God contributed a portion of their power to the creation of human kind....but....the Gods were betrayed by one of their own; The God of Time. After cursing humanity, and nearly driving the rest of the Gods to extinction, he was eventually sealed, and his powerful weapon was banished to the furthest reaches of the universe. But...there are other fearsome creatures that reside in the darkness. Evil things. Living nightmares that seep into this world from where our dimension meets another...

Class of 2014
Major/Minor: Double-major: Political Science and Economics
The coolest thing is receiving serious training in how to analyze and interpret data from a variety of sources, whether the Wall Street Journal or a sales clerk at Lulu Lemon.
Mr. Bookbinder has been adamant about teaching us to look for investment ideas hidden not only in portfolio or investor reviews but also in our day-to-day experiences. If 40 million people eat at McDonald's and drink Starbucks each day, or buy clothes at the Gap, are those companies I would be interested in owning? What do I think I know about the company that the person selling me the stock doesn't?
Portfolio focus: Materials, Construction, Pipeline renovation
Our water infrastructure in this country is completely outdated; the most recent large-scale installation of pipes and waterworks infrastructure having occurred in the years during and following World War II. Today, home builders are on the rise again, as people have taken advantage of cheap real estate and foreclosed properties. This is a sign of the middle class slowly being rebuilt. My goal is to find at least three to four companies that are in a position to take advantage of this increasing demand. I am looking for companies that will be able to sustain growth in these areas for the next three to five years, not just post profits in the next six months–though I won't complain if they do.
Key information sources: The Economist, Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Journal of Portfolio Management, Journal of Investing, Barron's.
Biggest challenge: Making sure that when I present an idea to Mr. Bookbinder and the group, I have done every possible amount of research that is appropriate and that the logic I use is sound. I need to have a complete understanding of the risks of the position and the potential benefits. I cannot go into a meeting and make a half-baked suggestion. Everyone in the room is smart enough to recognize when someone hasn't prepared enough when sharing an idea. It's embarrassing. Plus, wrong decisions = lost money. I hate being wrong, and most of all I hate losing money.
Career goal: Rise up the ranks in either international venture capital or international banking, with a focus in economically developing nations and unexplored markets.
Advice for prospective members: Alex. Brown is a sacrifice. You do not get college credit, you will work hard, and the program may at times frustrate you. But those are not negatives; sacrifice of leisure time, hard work, and frustration build character. You will get a glimpse of what awaits in the world of finance outside of college and the lessons Alex. Brown will teach you will be invaluable. So if you are ambitious, hard-working, and interested in what we do, then you belong with us.

Rielly, a member of a prominent group of postmodernist artists dubbed the "Young British Artists" influenced by Dada and Surrealism, was the winner of the prestigious John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize in 1995. He is known for his absurd portraits of unknown people, often displaying a pale, muted palette that stands at odds with his dark, often morbid themes of youth, aging, alienation and abnormality. His new show in La Jolla, "When I was young I would sit in the bath and ideas would come to me, now I am old I sit in the bath," is a solo collection of large- and small-scale acrylic on canvas paintings and an animated video installation. The show will run through Feb. 23 at the gallery, located at 7655 Girard Ave., Suite 101. For more information, visit www.scottwhiteart.com or call (858) 255-8574.

I'm hearing Kroenke-owned Country KWOF 92.5 FM may be going to a sports format soon... can anyone confirm and/or have any more info? Again, this is only a RUMOR and not fact.
If this happens, look to iHeart to try to put on an FM country station in Denver via a translator using an HD signal. Maybe on 107.9 FM. They are already broadcasting iHeart's country format on KPTT 95.7 FM HD-2 now.

Giraldi: 'NATO and CIA secretly arming Syrian rebels with Libyan weapons'
Americans should be concerned about what is happening in Syria, if only because it threatens to become another undeclared war like Libya but much, much worse. Calls for regime change have come from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who several weeks ago predicted a civil war. That is indeed likely if the largely secular and nationalist regime of Bashar al-Assad falls, pitting Sunni against Shia against Alawite. Indigenous Christians will be caught in the meat grinder. Ironically, many of the Christians in Damascus are Iraqis who experienced the last round of liberation in their own country and had to flee for their lives.
NATO is already clandestinely engaged in the Syrian conflict, with Turkey taking the lead as U.S. proxy. Ankara's foreign minister, Ahmet Davitoglu, has openly admitted that his country is prepared to invade as soon as there is agreement among the Western allies to do so. The intervention would be based on humanitarian principles, to defend the civilian population based on the "responsibility to protect" doctrine that was invoked to justify Libya. Turkish sources suggest that intervention would start with creation of a buffer zone along the Turkish-Syrian border and then be expanded. Aleppo, Syria's largest and most cosmopolitan city, would be the crown jewel targeted by liberation forces.
Unmarked NATO warplanes are arriving at Turkish military bases close to Iskenderum on the Syrian border, delivering weapons from the late Muammar Gaddafi's arsenals as well as volunteers from the Libyan Transitional National Council who are experienced in pitting local volunteers against trained soldiers, a skill they acquired confronting Gaddafi's army. Iskenderum is also the seat of the Free Syrian Army, the armed wing of the Syrian National Council. French and British special forces trainers are on the ground, assisting the Syrian rebels while the CIA and U.S. Spec Ops are providing communications equipment and intelligence to assist the rebel cause, enabling the fighters to avoid concentrations of Syrian soldiers.
Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer, is executive director of the Council for the National Interest.

Restore My Name – Slave Records and Genealogy Research
I wish I could say that I am going to be providing names of slaves in this first post, but unfortunately I have not yet located any. As I progress with my research on my 19th-century ancestors and move backward in time, that will change. One of my first research goals is to find the names of the slaves of the two families at the great-great grandparent level that I am positive to fairly sure owned slaves: the Brinlees and the Floyds.
Today's posts will cover what I know about the slaves of Hiram Brinlee. Unfortunately, that is not very much. At this point I do not know any more than can be found out from the Slave Schedules for the 1860 US Census.
Hiram Brinley, Precinct 2, Collin, Texas
This is no more than someone could find from looking this up on Ancestry, but for me it is a starting point. I cannot find any record for Brinlee slaves on the 1850 census, so I am guessing that I should started looking at whatever Collin County records I can find for the 1850-1860 time period.
To address the points for discussion proposed by Luckie:
- What responsibilities are involved on the part of the researcher when locating names of slaves on a record?
For us GeneaBloggers, that means as soon as we can get the document transcribed, it should go onto the blog. I have created a Black History Page on this blog with links to all relevant articles.
After that, there are a few other places where the information can be posted; some that I can think of are:
- The relevant surname and location-based forums on websites such as GenForum and the Rootsweb/Ancestry message boards
- The Afrigeneas Slave Data Collection (www.afrigeneas.com/slavedata/)
- Websites for African-American genealogy societies and the relevant local genealogy societies, GenWeb pages
Any other suggestions to add to this list?
- Does it matter if the records are related to your ancestral line or not?
Nope. As a matter of fact, a lot of my research on my South Carolina families involves nosing around in various land records and wills that can be found on the Greenville County Government Historical Records and South Carolina Department of Archives and History websites to find out if certain families that have associations with my families are actually related. Sometimes I transcribe these documents for future reference, and when they contain slave names, they can be posted.
- As a descendant of slave owners, have you ever been pressured by family not to discuss or post about records containing slave names?
No. Oddly enough, the fact that I am aware that some of my ancestors were slave owners has come down in family stories and a family history done by a second cousin (and for the family in question, I still have not found any actual records of slave ownership, yet). Family members have been aware that both of these sets of ancestors had "feet of clay" – the Brinlee brothers were tried for murder during the Republic of Texas days, and the Floyds had a fondness for reckless land speculation.
And one aspect that I would like to add:
Advantages of researching the slaves owned by my ancestors:
- The whole principle of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness applies – help one another out when we can, and while someone may benefit from your assistance today, the person benefiting from assistance tomorrow may be you.
- The benefits that generally follow from doing "cluster genealogy" apply, that is, learning more about your own ancestors and their lives. And you really never know what you are going to turn up by studying the people close to your ancestors. I can see a parallel with the time that I was so curious about why a great-great uncle and his wife were shown on two censuses as boarders with another family, and the uncle was then shown as the head of that household on a third census. Contacting a descendant of that other family led to my discovery that my great-great uncle was not just a real estate agent, as the census indicated – he had been Sheriff of Dallas County! If your ancestors owned slaves and you know nothing of those slaves, you do not know all there is to know about those ancestors.
Thanks to Luckie of Our Georgia Roots for hosting the Carnival of African-American Genealogy!
(If all goes as planned, my next "Friend of Friends" post should be on the Floyd family – what information has been passed down on Floyd family slaves and some clues from the 1870 census.)

Greta thank you for supporting CoAAG & for demonstrating your commitment to being a Friend of Friends!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to reading about what you discover & appreciate your highlighting community resources available to researchers wishing to share information.
Great work!:-)
Luckie - I am so glad to do this because I hate the idea of someone being shut off from finding their ancestors, and I think this is definitely an integral part of my own research as well. And, as I was looking at the website of my local gen society - the Fairfax Genealogical Society - I saw that in May Char McCargo Bah is going to be the featured speaker, on "Locating Slave Owners - It Is in the Details." I'll post the information on this this week, and in May - I am so going to be there.ReplyDelete
I was looking on ancestry.com and the 10 year female is actually a 10/12 month old female Black.ReplyDelete

I have been dabbling with amplifying my harp in my one band set up. Playing the drums on my feet, the harp on a rack, singing, and guitar, all at once has presented some problems with this. First I tried putting one harp rack over another one and taping a shure 57 to it and butting it up to the harp in the rack closest to my mouth. It was just too heavy and the mic cord kept banging on the guitar strings.
Walterharp on the bushman/MBH forum sent me a tiny little mic he built to try out. I hooked it up to my princeton reverb reissue (stock except eurotubes) and had to run my guitar direct into a preamp (I got to buy a vibro champ). I took an empty toilet roll and cut it open and added some paper towels to the inside. Then I duct taped it in place, fitted it over a bushman delta frost (A and also stock) and slid the tiny mic in against the harp. This added somewhat of a hand cupping effect. So off I hit the recording button and here is what I got. there is still a lot of bleeding of acoustic harp into the vocal mic and vocal into the bassed out/distorted harp amp. Also the harp mic has a buzz to it (maybe I am doing something wrong with the hook up?). All in all I think it is a good start. I may buy some of that sound deading foam they put in computers to quiet them down in recording studios inside the toilet paper roll to see if that isolates it a bit more. Here are the results- all words and music spontaneouslsy created and recorded! Walter
here is a couple pictures of the harp set up
