The Townskeeper
|Capa once had a population of 300 and was known for its mineral baths.
The town of Capa has a population of one unless you count Philip O'Connor's dog, Midnight, whose nickname is Buddy. Phil and Buddy seem a lot like the town they live in — quiet, restful and welcoming.
Capa was platted in 1904 by the Western Town Lot Company, a division of the Chicago North Western Railway Company. Railroad representatives wanted to name the town Russell in honor of J.C. Russell, an early settler to the west. But Mr. Russell did not want his name attached to a town. Doane Robinson of the South Dakota State Historical Society suggested that the town be called Capa, which is Lakota for beaver.
|Philip O'Connor is the last man living in Capa, a once-bustling town in Jones County.
As the railroad reached Capa in 1906, people began to settle in the 70 acre town site. Soon the town had 75 residents and numerous businesses, including the Capa Hotel, which piped water from an artesian well into a public bathhouse. The town became known for its mineral baths which visitors sought out for treatments. Capa also had lumberyards, a bank, the Capa Hustler newspaper, two churches and several general merchandise stores. Capa grew to about 300 residents.
Phil's roots run deep in Capa. His great-grandparents, Arthur and Kathryn McConnville, were some of the first people to settle there. His grandparents, Walter and Kathryn Poler, purchased the hotel, a house, and a pasture in 1916. Later his parents, Henry and Helen (Poler) O'Connell, took over the hotel and house. Henry worked on a railroad bridge crew. Phil lives in the house where his grandparents and later his parents resided. He taught for 20 years in rural schools in the surrounding counties.
Today the town stays alive in the stories remembered by Phil. A house next to his was moved back and forth along the one street. Katie Biwer was the first homesteader, he says. Nick Biwer lost a gold Luxemburg coin and years later he was telling a Capa merchant about losing the coin. As the story goes, the merchant happened to be rubbing his shoe in the dirt at the time and unearthed the coin.
|O'Connor's grandparents purchased the once grand Capa hotel in 1916, along with a pasture and house.
"The Scandal of Capa" came about when a resident by the last name of Young solicited funds to build a sanatorium. The man absconded with the money and was never seen again.
The town prospered for about 25 years, but the Great Depression took a toll. Capa also suffered when the new highway didn't follow the valley along the Bad River by which Capa sits. Cars had a hard time making the steep grades in the valley. Then the railroad company pulled its section crew from Capa and the town dwindled further. Another blow landed in 1976 when the post office closed. Most of the remaining homes were moved away, one going as far as North Dakota.
Still, Capa made news when a British Broadcasting Corporation crew filmed the town site and interviewed Phil in February 2009 for a documentary about the Dirty Thirties. The BBC found a town with remnants of the hotel, a few homes, a barn, the school and a church. Capa Lake on the town's eastern edge is still fed by the artesian well that once provided warm baths in the town's heydays.
Some people see pictures of Capa or drive past on the road and think they've seen a ghost town, but it's still alive with stories and with Phil O'Connor, the townskeeper.

This book examines the influence of coincidence and intuition on genealogical research. Is there a "psychic dimension" to the research process? Do our ancestors ask to be understood and have their stories told?
More than 100 leading family historians from around the world contributed their unusual experiences to this volume. Their stories fairly crackle with illumination and make a plausible case for the importance of the sixth sense in genealogical research.
The most original genealogy book in years!
--Dr. Michael Tepper, Managing Editor, Genealogical Publishing Co.
The reader will not want to put it down!
--Joan Griffis, Genealogical Columnist, Illinois
Interesting reading!
--Myra Vanderpool Gormley, Columnist, L.A. Times
I have a premonition that you will like this book. It's a lot of fun as well as thought provoking!
--Marsha Hoffman Rising, F.G.S. Forum
A highly enjoyable book that genealogists will want to read and talk about.

As a woodworker I am in awe of what a machinist can do with metal. To that end I've been trying to find someone who can make a hinge like I have on my 4 fold 2 foot wooden rule. The hinge allows the arms to unfold 180.
I found one gent who could do it but he had a stroke and gave up on that work. I tried a bunch of machinist blog sites and never got one reply. I went to three machine shops around my house that advertised no job too small - my request qualified as the exception.
I was wondering if there is a woodworking machinist out there who can answer my question - can someone make this hinge? Or can someone point in the right direction? I would appreciate any advice, comments, etc.

looks great , great price
its just the right product for the bike its for,very pleased with it
Looks great! Perfect size! much heavier duty than expected!
Don't use a scraper to remove inspection sticker or you'll scrape the paint off. Best if use a little heat and peel sticker off. Can mount almost anywhere. Mounted mine to a front fender bolt (My state law says it needs to be on front left fork. Check your state)
Really heavy duty and finish is good. I always wanted to buy one of these from another manufacturer but couldn't justify sending 4-5X as much as this one costs (I mean it's a piece of square sheet metal with powder coat for heaven's sake). This is exactly what you need for no more than what you should pay.
not big enough for new inspection stickers but nice to have so you don't have to put it on your bike
fit very well went om easy in 5 min the workmanship is second to none I used it on my 1996 wide glide I recommend this item for any harley davidson
easy to go on my wide glide nice and heavy steel good finished love it

"Can we turn this up to 100 dBs?" Warren Haynes asks an engineer at a New York studio, where the eighth studio album by his band Gov't Mule is being mastered. The technician complies, and "Frozen Fear" — a simmering, R&B-flavored track — erupts out the speakers.
The song is the result of what the guitarist calls "a very cathartic, creative month" this past January. After realizing how busy he would be in 2009 — thanks to a spring tour as part of the reunited Dead, followed by summer and fall shows with the Allman Brothers Band — Haynes booked time at Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studio in Austin right after Christmas. "We thought, 'It's gonna be a busy year, let's get started with the new record right away,'" he says.
What emerged were, in fact, two records. The current lineup of Gov't Mule — guitarist-vocalist Haynes, drummer Matt Abts, keyboardist Danny Lewis, and new Swedish bass player Jorgen Carlsson — laid down over a dozen tracks for By a Thread, the band's first album of new material in three years. The tracks range from Southern-fried rockers like "Stepping Lightly" and "Any Open Window" ("very Hendrixy," Haynes says) to high-powered country ("Gordon Jones," about a fictitious war profiteer) and folk (an electric version of the traditional "Railroad Boy").
The band also recorded two different versions of another Haynes original, "Broke Down on the Brazos" — one featuring guitar dueling between Haynes and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, and another (with horns) that reminds Haynes of Parliament-Funkadelic. "We didn't want to be pigeonholed as a rock band," says Haynes, "because we have so many influences." No longer with ATO Records, the album will be released on Haynes' own Evil Teen label in September.
Just before the start of the Mule sessions, Haynes also cut what he calls "the record I've been wanting to make for a long time." Still untitled, the album — recorded at the same Austin studio — is Haynes' nod to vintage soul and R&B, complete with a backup band that included Meters bassist George Porter Jr. and keyboardists Ivan Neville and Faces founder Ian McLagan.
Haynes knows the results may throw Deadheads and Allmans fans for a loop. "In some ways we are part of the jam band community," he says. "But there's also a part of that community that's a little close-minded and should accept a lot more genres of music than it does."
Meaning his solo album won't have as many of the extended guitar workouts Haynes is renowned for? "In my mind, it might have started out that way," he chuckles. "But by the time we made the record, there's plenty of guitar solos!"

Banana Cream Pie
Serve this classic banana cream pie from Marjorie Johnson, winner of our first pie contest, for a family-friendly dessert.
Level: Moderate
Yield: One 9-inch pie
For the Crust:
- 1¼ c. all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ c. cold leaf lard
- 2 tbsp. cold butter
- 3 tbsp. ice water
For the Filling:
- 1 package vanilla pudding mix
- 1½ c. milk
- 1¼ c. whipped cream
- ⅓ c. toasted coconut
- ⅓ c. toasted chopped walnuts
- 3 small bananas
- Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in lard and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about the size of peas. Sprinkle with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix lightly with a fork after each addition, until mixture is moistened. Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and shape into a flattened disk. Wrap in plastic; transfer to refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Lightly flour a pastry cloth and roll out dough on cloth, using a covered rolling pin, to a 12-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim to a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Fold under and crimp edges.
- Prick all over bottom and sides with the tines of a fork. Transfer to oven and bake until golden brown, about 16 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Make the filling: In a medium saucepan, whisk together pudding mix and milk. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to refrigerator and let chill.
- Fold 1/4 cup whipped cream, coconut, walnuts, and bananas into pudding. Pour filling into cooled pie crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Transfer remaining 1 cup whipped cream to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tip (such as Ateco #825). Decoratively pipe whipped cream around edge of pie; sprinkle with coconut and walnuts. Keep pie refrigerated until ready to serve; pie is best served the day it is made.

Any one else having a go this year?
First time trying onions, ive ordered a bag of mixed sets to try.
Ive got a couple of questions
As my garden is all concrete i bought a large reusable grow-bag, (H23cm x L100cm x D40cm) i believe this should be suitable for about 2 rows of 10. Figured it'd be better than pots.
Ive bought bulb compost to fill the grow bag and blood/fish/bone to scatter in as i fill the bag. Then some netting to go over the top to stop the birds getting to them.
Is there anything else i need to do?
How big do onions from sets get come June/July?

The theory of 'Sticks and Stones' no longer applies. Bullying is a hate crime.
London, UK (PRWEB) September 04, 2014
For all parents, starting school can be a nightmare, from adjustments to tracking classes and activities, it can get very stressful. But when school bullying is also a possibility, knowledge is power when it comes to dealing with bullying in school. NoBullying releases today the ultimate guide to school bullying facts.
The guide lists numbers that will highlight how school bullying appears on a national and international front through credible sources reporting on the latest bullying statistics.
For an example, the guide mentions that 60% of boys who bullied from first grade through ninth grade were convicted of at least one crime by age 24 and 40% had three or more convictions by age 24; meaning that today's bullies can be tomorrow's criminals.
Another alarming number and bullying fact is that half of all children are bullied at some time during their school years. More than 10% of school students are bullied regularly.
Thirty percent of students who say they have been bullied said they sometimes had brought weapons to school, all school shootings were related to bullying in one way or another.
And it is not just school bullying, children today are also faced with the danger of cyber bullying, cyber harassment and internet stalking. The major difference is, while a parent can always change schools for a bullied teen, cyber bullying follows the victim 24/7 wherever they may go. It can have such a catastrophic end result such as the suicide of Amanda Todd, a teenager who couldn't cope with being bullied online and at school.
The guide asserts the troubling fact that cyberbullying can go viral in seconds and is hard to erase, delete or forget. It also guide parents to potentially harmful online activities such as chatting with strangers on Omegle and its similar competitors where children and teens can easily be talking to child predators behind their parents' backs.
Sexting is also a major issue spreading among impressionable children and teens and should be discussed with one's children at length.
The guide helps parents reach a definition of what is bullying and what is cyber bullying so that they can work with children and teachers and the community on ending those hurtful waves soon.
Ciaran Connolly, Co-Founder of NoBullying.com, said "With the new school year upon us, it is essential to teach everyone around us about bullying and cyber bullying. The theory of 'Sticks and Stones' no longer applies. Bullying is a hate crime. "
He added that parents and teachers should make a point to educate the younger generations about the sad outcome of bullying online and offline. According to Mulligan, it is quite imperative to press for more firm laws condemning all acts of bullying and harassment.
NoBullying.com features many pages dedicated to parents, teens, teachers, health professionals as well as posts related to cyber safety and the latest news about law making concerning curbing Bullying worldwide as well as inspirational Bullying Poems and famous Bullying Quotes.
The website regularly updates its bullying statistics and cyber bullying statistics as it is essential to understand how widespread the bullying epidemic is. It also regularly runs cyber bullying surveys and questionnaires to get recent updated statistics on everything related to cyberbullying.
He also added that anyone suffering from bullying in any form or way can always find advice and help on the NoBullying website – but if anyone is suffering from severe bullying or cyber bullying, the best thing is to talk to someone locally – a parent, teacher or local organization that has been set up to help with specialized councilors to deal with this topic.

Top Screenings For Men
Getting the right screening test at the right time is one of the most important things a man can do for his health. Screenings find diseases early, before you have symptoms, when they're easier to treat. Early colon cancer can be nipped in the bud. Finding diabetes early may help prevent complications such as vision loss and impotence. The tests you need are based on your age and your risk factors.
Prostate Cancer
Screenings for healthy men may include both a digital rectal exam (DRE) and a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test. The American Cancer Society advises men to talk with a doctor about the risks and limitations of PSA screening as well as its possible benefits. Discussions should begin at:
- 50 for average-risk men
- 45 for men at high risk. This includes African-Americans.
- 40 for men with a strong family history of prostate cancer
The American Urological Association recommends a first-time PSA test at age 40, with follow-ups per doctor's orders.
Testicular Cancer
This uncommon cancer develops in a man's testicles, the reproductive glands that produce sperm. Most cases occur between ages 20 and 54. The American Cancer Society recommends that all men have a testicular exam when they see a doctor for a routine physical. Men at higher risk (a family history or an undescended testicle) should talk with a doctor about additional screening. Some doctors advise regular self-exams, gently feeling for hard lumps, smooth bumps, or changes in size or shape of the testes.
Colorectal Cancer
Screening begins at age 50 in average-risk adults. A colonoscopy is a common test for detecting polyps and colorectal cancer. A doctor views the entire colon using a flexible tube and a camera. Polyps can be removed at the time of the test. A similar alternative is a flexible sigmoidoscopy that examines only the lower part of the colon. Some patients opt for a virtual colonoscopy — a CT scan — or double contrast barium enema — a special X-ray — although if polyps are detected, an actual colonoscopy is needed to remove them.
Skin Cancer
The American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Dermatology recommend regular skin self-exams to check for any changes in marks on your skin including shape, color, and size. A skin exam by a dermatologist or other health professional should be part of a routine cancer checkup. Treatments for skin cancer are more effective and less disfiguring when it's found early.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Blood pressure readings give two numbers. The first (systolic) is the pressure in your arteries when the heart beats. The second (diastolic) is the pressure between beats. Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80. High blood pressure is 140/90 or higher, and in between those two is prehypertension — a major milestone on the road to high blood pressure. How often blood pressure should be checked depends on how high it is and what other risk factors you have.
Cholesterol Levels
The fasting blood lipid panel is a blood test that tells you your levels of total cholesterol, LDL "bad" cholesterol, HDL "good" cholesterol, and triglycerides (blood fat). The results tell you and your doctor a lot about what you need to do to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Men 20 years and older should have a new panel done at least every five years. Starting at 35, men need regular cholesterol testing.

Times-Picayune may stop daily publication; faces deep cuts
The New York Times | Gambit
Update: The Times-Picayune has confirmed these reports.
The Times-Picayune in New Orleans may cease daily publication and plans deep staff cuts, reports the Times' David Carr. Editor Jim Amoss will leave the paper, according to Carr, as will managing editors Peter Kovacs and Dan Shea. The two managing editors were not involved in meetings held this week by incoming publisher Ricky Mathews, who already was set to replace Ashton Phelps Jr. as publisher later this year.
The Times-Picayune "will likely publish two or three times a week rather than daily," employees of the paper told Carr. The Picayune's owner, Advance Publications, did something similar with the Ann Arbor News in 2009, cutting staff and focusing its efforts on AnnArbor.com.
Carr described the staff cuts as "large"; Gambit's Kevin Allman says a source told him via email:
The staff will immediately be whacked by at least a third (from 150 to 100 or fewer reporters). Top brass will be fired and reporters who remain aboard will take sharp salary cuts and be expected to start blogging through the day [for affiliated website NOLA.com].
According to Carr, the Picayune "has avoided some of the deeper cuts in the industry, in part because the newspaper played such a critical role in the coverage of Katrina and its aftermath." The newspaper published online for three days, and after it resumed the print paper, "its follow-up coverage was praised as being deep and meaningful, especially in a city that was short on good information and rife with rumor and chaos."
The Times-Picayune's website, Nola.com, recently rolled out what employees call a "yellow journalism" look, Allman writes. It's a social-feed looking design that gives great play to the number of comments a story receives; Advance also uses it on Mlive.com and al.com. Wade Kwon rounded up reader reactions to the latter.
Poynter's Rick Edmonds took a look at the retooled news org in Ann Arbor the year after it cut back on print and shifted its focus to AnnArbor.com. An exec said print circulation was OK, Web traffic was excellent, and it cost a lot less than its predecessor:
With the new pattern, Advance saves big money in two ways. Publishing just two days instead of seven cuts way back on paper and distribution costs (printing is done at a sister Advance paper nearby). The reconstituted newsroom with 35 staffers is about half the size of the old, and many of those jobs are lower-paid.
Writing in Columbia Journalism Review, Ryan Chittum says he still marvels about the time when Advance's newspapers had a no-layoffs policy. The "Newhouse Pledge" was rescinded in 2010.
In 2010 Douglas McCollam looked at the Times-Picayune five years after Katrina and noted that "editorial head count has decreased from about 265 before the storm to between 165-170 today."

Story highlights
- Some in tea party feel they are being absorbed by more mainstream Republicans
- Others believe the movement has been successful in shifting the GOP to the right
- Historian Douglas Brinkley: "It happens all the time in politics"
Is the tea party changing the Republican Party from the inside -- or selling out to the GOP?
As Republicans prepare to officially roll out Mitt Romney as their party's presidential nominee at the Republican National Convention this week, major tea party groups and figures have descended on Tampa, Florida, to schmooze with party bigwigs and rally for Romney.
But Romney's conservative credentials have long been viewed with suspicion by the movement. So it came as a surprise when, before at least one event, tea party organizers committed what some activists would consider heresy: seeking approval from establishment Republicans to rally.
All of it has opened up a once unthinkable charge: the movement that's rabble-roused and rocked the GOP establishment since 2009 is now too cozy with it.
"The top national groups have already sold out," said Judd Saul, a prominent Iowa activist associated with the Cedar Valley Tea Party. "They don't truly represent the grassroots."
"Even before the caucuses, these guys were all pushing for Romney even when the primaries were going on," Saul added.
"It's a pretty widespread (sentiment). A lot of activists have noticed that."
But presidential historian Douglas Brinkley doesn't see this phenomenon as anything new.
"I think it happens all the time in politics," said Brinkley, a political analyst and professor at Rice University. "The grassroots people are the people who are hypermotivated. They are people willing to go to rallies and hold bake sales and ... and they're always later kind of seen as auxiliary players once it gets to the main game when the elections come in the fall."
"I think selling out is too strong," added Brinkley. "But you can say something to the effect of they've tricked the tea party movement into believing they were going to have a meaningful role in the 2012 election."
Others are taking their groans to social media.
"I think it is time not only to clean up Washington but we as well need to clean up or clean out the top dogs in the RNC that are turn coats," tea party supporter Margaret Robinson posted on the Facebook page for theteaparty.net. "Not only TAKE BACK AMERICA but also need to TAKE BACK OUR REPUBLICAN PARTY. "
Saska Mare, who describes herself as a "tea party Republican" and Newt Gingrich supporter, wrote: "Now is the time for All Good Patriots to come to the aid of their Country and QUIT MITT & RECRUIT NEWT!!"
The president and CEO of one of the largest tea party sponsors knows that not everyone is happy with the commingling between the two groups.
"There's always purists in any movement who think that anything less than perfect is a sellout," said Matt Kibbe of FreedomWorks, based in Washington. "But that's not how the American system works. "
The head of another group was more blunt.
"Anyone at this point who is trying to disrupt the convention or protest the nomination of Romney is blinded by irrational enthusiasm," said Dustin Stockton, chief strategist for theteaparty.net.
There is one problem with such rationalities: They contradict the movement's belief that to change the system, it must be blown up.
Since its birth three years ago, tea party activists have railed against compromise, leaned on lawmakers, launched RINO hunts against moderates deemed "Republicans in Name Only" and sought swift action on their ideas of reduced government spending, lower taxes and increased adherence to the constitution.
For them, political patience was not a virtue.
But since then, the tea party has gradually moved from anger and impatience toward acceptance and embrace. Several leaders say they understand the slow pace of change and stress the need to change the political system from the inside.
Stockton's group sponsored a rally on Sunday in Tampa, a few miles away from the GOP convention site, featuring prominent tea partiers Herman Cain and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, both former presidential candidates.
The 30-year-old tea party leader is adamant that the event's goal is to continue advocating for the tea party.
"We wanted to make sure that when (activists) tune in to the convention and the convention starts, they know that the tea party is still here -- still fighting for the values they believe in," Stockton said. "Because that's really uniting more than Republicans, actually the American people in general. And we wanted to do it right before the conventions to try and set the tone for the entire convention."
Yet Stockton also revealed something that will surely cause some activists to fume.
"In order to get the venue and everything, we did get the blessings of the Romney camp and the RNC to hold the event months ago," Stockton said. "And the Romney camp is sending (Utah) Congressman Jason Chaffetz as a surrogate for Romney. So they're on board with it. "
Many tea partiers support efforts to unify the movement with the GOP.
Kibbe's group is also holding GOP-friendly events during the convention week. But he, too, beats back any notion that the tea party is toeing the Republican line.
"I would describe us as having a foot in the door and a seat at the table," the FreedomWorks chief said. "Things are definitely trending in our direction."
Kibbe also noted another achievement: the GOP embrace of core tea party proposals.
FreedomWorks had pushed the RNC's platform committee to adopt 12 items.
"We had a whole delegation of tea partiers at the platform committee," Kibbe said. "And we feel like we made a lot of progress. We feel like we had success on 11-and-a-half of them."
Sal Russo, chief strategist for the Tea Party Express, also claimed that the Republican Party is coming around to the tea party -- not the other way around.
"We have a huge Tea Party Express rally (in Tampa). In fact, we already have 15,000 reporters sign up to be there. We've called it the '2012 Republican National Convention,' " Russo joked.
Though Stockton is promoting unity during convention week, he has a special gripe: one prominent tea partier is not on the speaking list.
"I'm incredibly frustrated at the speaker lineup -- it doesn't include Sarah Palin," Stockton said. "And Palin should have definitely been invited. He also lamented that two former presidential hopefuls in 2012, Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, will not have a prominent presence.
Meanwhile, after long viewing Romney as a suspect conservative, how are activists feeling about him now?
"I say there's a solid 50-50 split within the movement" for and against Romney, Saul said.
He added: "I will hold my nose and pull the lever for Romney. Legitimately, I think that President Obama is the worst of the two evils. And Romney has a shot. And with some backing and some pushing, he could do some better things for the economy and the country. "
But the FreedomWorks chief stressed political patience.
"The practical reality of presidential politics: it takes years to build your brand, and your machine, your ability to fundraise," Kibbe said. "And the tea party class was very green; they weren't ready."
In the face of some activist criticism, Russo said the movement should celebrate a milestone.
"I think (the tea party) has successfully yanked the Republican Party back to where it's sort of always been since Reagan yanked it back -- which is an opposition to an increasing size, cost and intrusiveness of the federal government," Russo said.
Calling tea party opposition to Romney and the RNC "silly," Russo said: "I mean, sometimes people don't know when to declare victory."

JUNEAU - Four Democratic state senators are seeking a second chance for vetoed health insurance legislation, even though Gov. Sean Parnell says he won't heed the legislators' call for a special session to reconsider the measure.
The Republican governor said last week when he vetoed the legislation that he did so because he learned the program for low-income families pays for abortions. His spokeswoman said Tuesday he would not call a special session on the issue.
The bill would have raised the qualifying income eligibility standard from 175 percent to 200 percent of the federal poverty line; by one estimate, it would have covered an additional 218 pregnant women and 1,277 children.
State Sens. Hollis French, Bettye Davis, Johnny Ellis and Bill Wielechowski said the veto will hurt families.
"We worked hard for that bill, for Alaska's children," said Davis, a leader behind the bill's push. "He needs to correct his terrible decision."
According to the state Department of Health and Social Services, 664 individuals on the program, known as Denali KidCare, received "abortion-related services" in 2009.
Abortion-related services could include counseling, ultrasounds, doctor visits or other services not resulting in abortions, spokeswoman Cathy Stadem said. Officials were going through records to determine abortions took place, she added.
Parnell last week didn't specify how much of the expanded program would have paid for abortions but said "there are hundreds of abortions being paid for by these funds."
Davis said at the time that information she had received from the department indicated the number of abortions paid by the program was "in the teens."
French, who is running for governor, said he has asked Senate President Gary Stevens to poll the state Senate to see if there's interest among lawmakers to call themselves back and enough strength to override a veto. The Senate has a bipartisan ruling majority.
Stevens said he sent messages to all 20 senators and is hoping to have a good read on their thinking by week's end. At this point, though, he said it seems "unlikely" there will be overwhelming support among senators to call lawmakers back for this.
Stevens, a Kodiak Republican, said he personally supports Parnell's reasoning and does not favor a special session on this issue.

01289: Philemon and Baucis. "They had one goose, the guardian of their tiny estate; and him the hosts were preparing to kill for their divine guests." (Ov. Met. 8.684). Guillaume T. de Villenave, Les Métamorphoses d'Ovide (Paris, Didot 1806–07). Engravings after originals by Jean-Jacques François Le Barbier (1739–1826), Nicolas André Monsiau (1754–1837), and Jean-Michel Moreau (1741–1814).
Disguised gods test humans
These gods descended to earth disguised as mortals, and when they were wandering in the region where Philemon and Baucis lived, they sought a place to rest, but no home would receive them until they knocked at the door of this aged couple's humble home. In that cottage, thatched with straw and reeds from a nearby marsh, they had wedded in their youth and grown old together.
Hospitality and Goodwill
Their poverty was not a hindrance for receiving
the visitors, and after setting out a place for
them to rest and lighting the fire, they prepared a
meal for the unknown guests: olives, called
Athena's berries,
cornel-cherries pickled in the lees of
wine, endives and radishes,
cream cheese, and eggs. The food was served in
earthen-dishes, and the
wine in an earthen mixing-bowl, for that was the noblest material their wealth could afford. And for the second course they served honey, nuts, figs, dates, plums, grapes, and apples. So while the visitors noticed that their hosts
were serving them abounding goodwill, the hosts
noticed that each time the mixing-bowl with
wine was drained it filled
of itself, which should not be so surprising, for
goodwill is often the prelude of things that are
sometimes considered as miracles when goodwill has
not yet appeared.
Their identity revealed
Afraid of what they were witnessing, Philemon and Baucis, fearing the power of their visitors, decided to slaughter their only goose, but old as they were they could not catch it, and finally the bird fled for shelter to the gods themselves, who revealing their divine identity, announced to the old hosts that the wicked neighborhood in which they lived would be punished, and that only them would be exempted.
The wicked punished
With these words the gods took the old couple to
a tall mountain in the vicinity, and when Philemon
and Baucis looked back from the top they saw the
whole country-side flooded with water, but in the
middle of this new large lake their own house still
Thinking of the tragedy that had affected their neighbors they were in tears, for there are those who pity even the most wicked, but while they wept, the gods changed the small cottage into a temple, turning the wooden supports into marble columns, and the straw into gold.
Olive trees growing from one double trunk at Delphi (AD 1983).
The wish of Philemon & Baucis
Having done all these wonders, the gods told
them to ask any boon they wished. They asked to be
the priests of the temple and, since they had spent
their lives in constant company, they prayed to die
at the same time, and Philemon asked:
"... that I
may never see my wife's tomb, nor be buried by
her." (Ovid, Metamorphoses 8.710).
"... that I
may never see my wife's tomb, nor be buried by
her." (Ovid, Metamorphoses 8.710).
Wishes granted
The gods granted their request, for after
spending still many years guarding the temple, one
day they put forth leaves, and no sooner they had
said farewell to each other, they were turned into
trees standing close together and growing from one
double trunk.
What Publius Ovidius Naso says
Lelex 1 told this story, which he heard from staid old men who had no reason to deceive anybody, and he added that having seen votive wreaths hanging from the boughs of the trees, he placed some himself, and Publius Ovidius Naso, who made us acquainted with this man, says that Lelex 1 prayed in front of the tree:
"Let those
beloved of the gods be gods; let those who have
worshipped be worshipped." (Ovid, Metamorphoses 8.725).
"Let those
beloved of the gods be gods; let those who have
worshipped be worshipped." (Ovid, Metamorphoses 8.725).

A scooter may offer great gas mileage, an alternative way to commute and a fun ride around town. You'll likely want to protect your ride, but how do you know whether scooter insurance is required? The answer depends on your state's laws and the type of vehicle you drive.
That's because each state defines and regulates "scooters" a bit differently, often based on engine size. And scooters can have a wide range of engine sizes. For example, a small scooter may have a 50-cubic-centimeter (cc) engine, while a large scooter may be 650cc and above, according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.
In general, if your scooter's engine is 50cc or larger, your state may require you to insure it. To be sure, check with your local insurance agent.
Here is some helpful information to consider when it comes to buying scooter insurance.
Get the protection you need and the peace of mind you deserve with Allstate insurance.
Some insurance companies cover scooters under motorcycle insurance policies. Others write specific scooter insurance policies. Either way, it's smart to understand what coverages may be available to help protect you and your scooter. Here are some of the basics:
Liability coverage: As with automobiles, drivers in most states are required to carry minimum amounts of liability coverage. There are two types of liability coverage:

Collision coverage: If you collide with another vehicle, or another object such as a fence, collision coverage may help pay to repair or replace your scooter.
Comprehensive coverage: This coverage may help pay to repair or replace your scooter if it's damaged in an accident that's not a collision. Covered losses may include fire, vandalism or theft.

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage: If you're if you're hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver, this coverage may help. An uninsured driver has no insurance. An underinsured driver has liability limits that are not enough to cover all of your damages if you're injured in a crash they cause.

Medical payments coverage and personal injury protection (not available in all states): Medical payments coverage may help pay for your medical bills if you're injured in an accident on your scooter. Similarly, personal injury protection (PIP) may help pay for your medical bills after an accident. PIP may also help cover lost wages if you're unable to work after an accident.

Finally, it's important to know that all insurance coverages have limits, which is the maximum amount your policy will pay after a covered loss. Additionally, some coverages may have a deductible, which is the amount you'll pay out of pocket before your insurance pays for a covered loss.

Bundesliga Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said that large Middle Eastern investment in European football clubs "is unfair to other well-managed teams and Arab owners need to be more patient," according to Karolos Grohmann of REUTERS. The comments come just days after his club marched into the Champions League semifinals "with a last-gasp win over Qatar-owned Malaga." Watzke said, "This (big cash injections) is neither sportsmanlike nor fair and our core business is still sport. We do not need to come with respect and fair play if this is not reflected on all levels." Ligue 1 side Paris St. Germain has spent more than €200M ($262.53M) "in transfers since the Qatari fund QSI bought the club" in June '11. Watzke: "I have the feeling that some sheikhs looked at the flight schedules and then picked a pretty metropolis because that is where the connections to the Gulf region are the best. But that is not how it works" (REUTERS, 4/12).
International Football
The sound of the vuvuzela could fade from South African football grounds, but "not because of the droning wall of noise that made it so unpopular with global audiences during the 2010 World Cup." Premier League officials say that "though they are not yet pursuing a ban, it has become a topic of conversation after a rise in incidents where the vuvuzela was used to cause harm" (SOWETAN LIVE, 4/12). ... Real Madrid will spend this summer in the U.S., based at UCLA. Los Blancos spent last summer there, and they "will replicate those plans" for this preseason (FOOTBALL ESPAÑA, 4/14). ... "Cash-strapped" Indonesian football club Persibo was deciding Thursday "whether to withdraw from the AFC Cup after a 'shameful' performance in Hong Kong" when it ran out of players, forcing the match to be abandoned. The club "only had 12 players available for the match, with some having left after the side's major shareholder stopped paying the team and staff in January," and others suspended (JAKARTA GLOBE, 4/12).

Opera Web Standards Curriculum
After reading about the new Web Standards curriculum from the people behind the Opera browser in Web Designer magazine, I checked out some of the articles today and I'm already at article 11! The curriculum will soon consist of 50 articles, currently 23 have been published. The articles are very easy to read and a great introduction or reminder to all involved (and wishing to get involved) in web design or development.
The curriculum is actually aimed at Universities to improve their web modules, which is very interesting. I know that on my university course (Events Management at Leeds Met, UK) there was a web design module in level 2 which actually constitutes of being taught to build a site in Dreamweaver. I didn't take the module as I'd already taught myself to use Dreamweaver the year before (on placement) and I had already moved on to hand coding. Looking back now, maybe I should have taken the module for some easy marks!
It would be fantastic if more universities used this Web Standards Curriculum to bring their modules up-to-date and even inspire their students into moving into a web-related field. I know that my degree has only strengthened my career in web development because I have far more knowledge and experience of marketing, sales and client relationships than most students who have completed degrees in computing schools.
I am very tempted to send my old technology-dissertation tutor, John Nightingale, an email challenging him to re-write the Web Design module!

Even as luxury brands have been making a beeline for Hong Kong in the hopes of gaining a toehold in the Chinese luxury market, property prices in the city have been rising fast. In the recent past, the city has attracted an array of international luxury brands. But it seems to have come at a cost.
As far as rents for retail locations go, Hong Kong has risen to the No. 2 spot on international real estate firm CB Richard Ellis' list of cities with the highest retail rents. The Asian city currently charges a whopping US$1,697 per square foot of space per annum. Predictably, only New York is ahead of Hong Kong at this point with rates of US$1,900 per annum. Taking the No. 3 spot is Sydney, with a rate of US$1,301. The Australian city is followed by London (US$909) and Zurich (US$829).
In the last quarter, retail property rents rose by 46 percent in Hong Kong even as global rates rose by a far more modest 3.8 percent. Only last year, the Asian city overtook Sydney as the second-most expensive option for retailers. It should be a matter of time before it overthrows New York from its top spot as well.
The link to customers from Mainland China has spurred even casual retail brand Abercrombie & Fitch to shell out HK$7.5 million (US$964,000) for a 12,000-square-foot store in downtown Central. The significant factor is that retailers are willing to pay these high rates because of the access to Chinese customers. 22.7 million crossed the border to shop in Hong Kong in 2010. This April, 2.1 million came down.

Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in either of two places called Cottingham. One was a parish near Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and the other is a parish located two miles from Rockingham in the county of Northampton. Thus, the surname Cattingham belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
Early Origins of the Cattingham family
Yorkshire at Cottingham, a village and civil parish in the East Riding which dates back to the Domesday Book when it was listed as Cotingeham. "This place is of considerable antiquity, and was known as of some importance when Domesday Book was compiled. Leland, in his Collectanea, states that William d'Estoteville or Stuteville, sheriff of Yorkshire, entertained King John here, and obtained from that monarch, in the year 1200, permission to hold a market and fair, and to embattle and fortify his residence." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. The place name literally means "homestead of the family or followers of a man called Cott or Cotta" derived from the Old English personal name + inga + ham. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Baynard Castle, sometimes named "castle at Cottingham" or "Stuteville's castle" was a moated castle built in the 12th and 13th centuries in the village. Sarum Manor is located in the southern half of the ruins of castle. The Northamptonshire Cottingham was similarly listed with the same spelling in the Domesday Book. [3]CITATION[CLOSE]

(ISBN 0-141-00523-8) "A massive ring of pure gold was found in 1841, on the borders of Rockingham Forest, apparently of great antiquity, and in good preservation; it is inscribed in Saxon characters with legends supposed to be of talismanic character, and was probably worn as an amulet."

Cattingham Spelling Variations
Cattingham Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Cattingham are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Cattingham include: Cottingham, Cotingham, Cattingham, Catingham and others.

Migration of the Cattingham family to the New World and Oceana
Migration of the Cattingham family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Cattingham or a variant listed above: Catherine Cottingham, who arrived in Jamaica in 1679; Samuel Cottingham arrived in Philadelphia in 1856; Septimus, Thomas, and Edward, Cottingham, all arrived in Philadelphia in 1870..

Electron Beam Irradiation of Cellulosic Materials—Opportunities and Limitations
AbstractThe irradiation of pulp is of interest from different perspectives. Mainly it is required when a modification of cellulose is needed. Irradiation could bring many advantages, such as chemical savings and, therefore, cost savings and a reduction in environmental pollutants. In this account, pulp and dissociated celluloses were analyzed before and after irradiation by electron beaming. The focus of the analysis was the oxidation of hydroxyl groups to carbonyl and carboxyl groups in pulp and the degradation of cellulose causing a decrease in molar mass. For that purpose, the samples were labeled with a selective fluorescence marker and analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) coupled with multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS), refractive index (RI), and fluorescence detectors. Degradation of the analyzed substrates was the predominant result of the irradiation; however, in the microcrystalline samples, oxidized cellulose functionalities were introduced along the cellulose chain, making this substrate suitable for further chemical modification.

A huge fan of Jane Austen, Danielle hopes to find her own Mr. Darcy when she leaves Colorado to attend art school in London. Of course she knows it's silly to wish for that, naive even. But she's met enough males who lacked respect for women, a growing trend it seemed. And at 19...well... However, on only her second night there she gets lost and is threatened by a stalker who proves to be immune to her martial-arts training. Before she is completely overpowered, she is then saved by Ethan Deveroux.
While Danielle does find the romance she seeks in Ethan, he's no Mr. Darcy. Her hero is held by a spell which fractures their chance at a happy ending. During the day Ethan is closer to mortal than immortal and can date her like any other man. Yet, as the sun sets, the powerful magic of an ancient curse returns and the evil of that spell is revealed. When that magic begins, Danielle's fairy-tale romance ends because Ethan Deveroux is a vampire.

"Will leave you desperate for the sequel"
Already read twice and listened twice!
MAX! The way Tristan brings Max to life is wonderful, I feel like I know max as a jokey big brother role.
Personally I listen while I'm chilling in bed getting ready to sleep or doing something like ironing to keep me interested! I couldn't listen in one sitting due to the length but its definitely hard to put down.
Go for the sequel, ir does not disappoint!
"Heartbreakingly Beautiful"
Emotional, beautiful and soulful.
Danielle because I feel like I can relate to her as a person and I happen to get lost easily also and I also love romance books.
Danielle's uncle Nick, there was a part were he was telling a story and Tristan spoke in such a perfect tone that even I felt shivers.
Ethan protects Danielle from spiders even at his darkest point, the fact that he still wishes to protect her from any harm almost reduced me to tears.
I loved this book. If you like chivalrous polite romantic men who also happen to be heroic with an angelic face then this is the book for you. This story is full of passion and true love which only grows stronger with every word you read. This is only the first book in this beautifully written series.
Get Fractured and Forever to complete this fantastic trilogy, I guarantee it will be one of the best series you will ever read brilliantly written by Cheri Schmidt. If you prefer audio books then get the first book right now, narrated perfectly by Tristan Hunt. Definitely a 5 star rating from me.
"Great story"
It was great to hear the story as I could listen to what my imagination had conjured after reading the book.
"Super Sweet"
What did you like about this audio book?
I read this book several years ago and was delighted to hear that it is now available in audio. I really love the mix of fantasy elements with the current world and time. I enjoyed the tight family relationships on both the vampire side and human side. The romance is sweet and clean, and the food sounds divine. I also love the unexpected direction this book takes on Vampire lore.
How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?
I've always enjoyed a good romance between vampires and humans. Fateful focuses more on the romance than the standard violent nature of the genre.
Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?
Yes! So much of this story is in the tiny details. The author does a great job in giving enough info to set the scene, but not so much that you lose track of the real story.
What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?
The narrator was fabulous. He has such a soothing/sexy voice that draws you into the story, and he gives the characters so much individual personality and emotion! If there was something 'wrong' with his performance, I didn't hear it.
Additional comments:
If you love clean romance with a touch of fantasy, give Fateful a try! I'm looking forward to hearing the next audio version in the series.
"Ingenious and Full of the Unexpected"
Ingenious, invigorating, surprising
Danielle because she is so easy to relate to and likeable from the very start. She makes you WANT to follow her through this book and any others to follow.
No, however I quickly fell in love with the characters due to the development from the author in print and the portrayal by Tristan in the audio version.
Look out Twilight fans…this book is definitely a tough competitor in the vampire world. First, I am usually wary about listening to the audible version of books especially because I love to leave the character's personalities to my own imagination. Schmidt (author) and Tristan (narrator) definitely changed my opinion for this book as I both read and listened to the story. I can't express enough my unexpected surprise at how well the audio version portrayed the story SO closely to what I envisioned.
Ingenious storyline filled with plenty of the unexpected with unanticipated happenings that keep you wanting more all the way to upcoming releases. At the end of the story I was ecstatic that there would be more to come as this is Book One in a series. I fell in love with each and every character especially Danielle & Ethan who were very well developed. The highlight is that this is not your ordinary vampire plot and when done will be at the top of your recommendation list for this genre. Thrilled for Book Two!
~The Book Stalker Reviewed
"Delicious romance for the vampire lovers out there!"
Adored the combination of the narrator's deep voice and British accent with the vampires' older forms of speech. It gave the story an old world feel and the cadence and tone of the storytelling was masterfully done.
This story had a twist on vampire lore that was both fascinating and surprising. Loved it and loved the characters, Danielle and Ethan.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a good vampire romance--like me! :)
Will look for more books by this author for sure!
"Excellent Book! A must read!!!"
I would def recommend this to a friend! I loved the paperback so when I had the chance to hear it being read I couldn't say no, and it didn't disappoint!!!
I love Danielle. She is a very easy charecter to like. She's like any normal girl and love that she is easy to relate to. I could look at the decisions she makes and be like "o yeah I would have done that". Plus she hates spiders. :)
I love Tristan's smooth voice, and that he he changes it up slightly per charecter. Instantly fell in love with him :)
There was but I can't discuss it without spoilers. But OMG Ethan just makes you look at your current significant other and go "really? Why can't you be like that?"
If you like romance, vampires, a bit of magic, curses, gardens, and true love this book is def for you.
"Beautiful and Engaging Vampire Romance!"
I fell in love with the characters from this series from the beginning. Danielle was a girl that was multi-dimensional and fun, tough, yet sweet. Ethan was a man that was flawed and cursed by something out of his control, but totally a gentleman and totally lovable. Their chemistry together was magic.
There were so many moments in this book that made me laugh, or made my heart melt. I love how Ethan cooks for her. That to me is a man worth keeping! :) I think some of my favourite moments are the quiet moments between the two main characters. There's something so sweet and peaceful about their romance, and their time together when all of the other characters are kind of waiting in the wings, so to speak. I loved those moments because they were the most tender, and really allowed the characters to shine.
I love that the romance in this book is sweet, but not explicit. I love the character building, and all of the different fantasy characters like werewolves, vampires, and fairies. And I LOVE the settings in this book. They completely pull you in, and make you feel like you are part of the story. Such a beautiful book, and a beautiful series.
"Entertaining and delightful read"
I read the book and listened to the audio version as well. I loved how the narrators voice drew you in and made you feel as if you were truly inside the story.
It was creative. I loved all of the magical elements of this story, including the whimsical. I can't wait to finish the series to see what other delicious treats the author has in store.
I loved the scene when Ethan took Danielle to see the fairies.
This was a great start to a fascinating and creative series. The author did a fantastic job of creating a world full of intrigue, romance, and adventure.
"Listened Late Into the Night!"
This is my favorite audiobook I've listened to so far.
It's similar to Twilght, in that the girl in the stroy discovers she loves a vamipire and circumstances force her to rely on him and his fellow vampires for safety and protection. It's also very romantic.
The narratation really drew me into the story.
This book made a long drive go by in an instant; after I arrived I looked forward to hearing more every night! I was away for work and it was a great way to escape into a different world for a while. I really missed the characters when it was over and look forward to the next in the series!
"Can't wait for the next one!"
This book drew me in from the first word out of the narrator's mouth. The writing is tight and imaginative and the narrator's voice is like the finest chocolate, silky smooth. I am anxiously anticipating the next in the series.
Tristan Hunt, the narrator of Fateful, did an amazing job bringing author Cheri Schmidt's words & characters to life. I forgot I was listening to just one person narrating he was so good at switching voices!
"great vampire story!"
Really enjoyed the different take on vampires. This book has a lot twists and turns.
