Investable retirement assets among Americans over 55 are expected to reach $22 trillion by 2020, according to LIMRA.
An analysis released Monday found people between 55 and 64 years old had a little over $6 trillion in investable assets. That group is expected to have accumulated $10.2 trillion by 2020. Americans over 65 had nearly $6 trillion in 2010, and are expected to have over $11 trillion in 2020.
"There is a huge opportunity for the financial services industry to help Americans identify how much income they will need in retirement, develop a plan for investing their portfolio to generate income, while continuing to grow their assets," Jafor Iqbal, associate managing director for LIMRA Retirement Research, said in a statement.
That opportunity should be relatively easy to act on with older consumers, a separate survey by Accenture, released Tuesday, found. The Accenture survey found boomers were less likely than younger investors to mistrust financial advisors.
Boomers were far more likely than millennials to take their advisor's financial advice without feeling the need to consult other sources, and one-third of boomers said they spent "a lot of time" researching their options before making a major financial decision, according to Accenture.
However, Accenture stressed that despite boomers' apparent readiness to trust their advisors, millennials are the real source of opportunity for financial professionals. The survey found 40% of that group are "determined" to pass wealth on to heirs, compared with 25% of older investors. Accenture also found that while nearly three-quarters of millennials are actively investing, only 22% go through an advisor, and those relationships are largely "transactional."
"The behaviors and attitudes of millennials are not just a matter of long-term strategy for wealth managers; they are a leading indicator of the need for change today," Alex Pigliucci, global managing director of Accenture Wealth and Asset Management Services, said in a statement. "The recent financial crisis brought a sea change in attitudes toward investing and distrust for the financial industry across all generations."
Pigliucci stressed the importance of digital communications in maintaining communication with clients, noting that even older generations are likely to be online in some way, although the survey targeted respondents who were "tech-savvy" and use social media at least once a week.
"The explosion of digital and social channels in everyday life is simultaneously spilling into consumers' relationships with their financial institutions," Pigliucci said. "With half of all baby-boom investors currently active in social media and a vast majority active online, the innovations that will capture the millennial generation also will help capture the most coveted demographics among Gen Xers and baby boomers."

My Aunt Miriam had a letter in her possession which was in rather rough condition. As I read this letter I realized that it was written by my great great grandmother Elizabeth (Keller) Spracklin. I then turned it over and to my surprise there was another letter written by Daniel D. Spracklin to home.
I do not know if this letter was ever sent and how it got into my Aunt's possession? I have very few personal items from my family so this was amazing to hold in my hands.
Please note that for safe keeping the letter was separated gently. It was actually 2 pages connected together. There are two letters and they filled up both sides of the paper. On one side was a letter from Daniel and then on the other side was a letter from Elizabeth.
I share these letters here because they are so precious and need to be seen by others who are members of the Spracklin and Keller families.
Someone put tape in the center to hold it together. This is a very bad thing to do. Cellophane tape is corrosive. This has obscured and made it difficult to figure out what was written where the tape covers. Several cousins have tried to help interpret the letters.
In transcribing the letter I tried to follow their use of English and their spelling. The following is the best effort of myself and several cousins' who I sent the letter to. Scroll below for a copy of the actual letters.
First is Elizabeth's letter:
January the 7: Dear Sister I take my pen in hand won (se) more tu let you now that we are all well tu day and du hope these few lines may find you tugging the same blaessing you would then that I was well if you guest seen what I had dun tu day I have washed and chicend and I scronbd and backed I hav good helth this winter we had a vary pleasnt winter her we have (covered by tape and cannot read) ___________________________of Caroline getting married yet I hope She has got a compain that they can liv hapy I wish them good luck and mutch happiness now Ammarila burrow for the bard I wonder in my giserd if you are ajonta futufabar and cum out tu Iowa or will you bee like the rest Can't beeve many yet or will you squatt down on daddy back plase I am a bout tu think that you are all agon to stay there tu get har and I would like tu be thare wih you and hav a good visit witch snow I could if I was thre I would like tu curn home with my little Henrey and Mary and see you all and cum back home again tu Iowa I would mutch rnther liv in Iowa then in Ohio but I would like tu hav you all cum out here and live I know that you could make alivin easer then you can thare Mary can run and play out adores with Henry they hav grate times She can say mama and build and pah a good many things Pare & Son _____she looks like vina little girl (tape has stained the page and can't read the works) ______________________________bin inviting I hav knit mine lace of ____for tu Sell igot a half a dolar a pare I have got dun purty nice a knity and then ma I peese ____ quiltg if I can I must beve sum came for ___tu rite sum I wish you would rite oftener and tell mother tu rite and Caroline I Should like tu here a word from hur giv my lov tu all my brotherss and Sisters and pap and mother and Susn your self tell Peter that I an see him ___ but not ___ He could not have sent me eny thing that I like tu see so well E.S A E.

The photocopy of the actual letter is in two parts. If you laid them out on a table they would be side-by-side and writing would have been on both sides. Click on the image and it will open into another window. To get back to this post click your back button.
Source: Letter by Elizabeth and Daniel Spracklin dated January 1858. This letter was in the possession of their great grand-daughter Miriam McDonald but is now in the possession, as of 2008, of their great great grand-daughter and compiler of this blog.
Some comments:
Elizabeth wishes her sister Caroline happiness. Caroline married Joseph Van Houten in 1857. I visited the Van Houten graves in Ohio in August of 2011. I knew that they had migrated to Hardin County, Ohio so I made it a point to seek out their place of burial. They are buried in the Dunkirk Cemetery north of Kenton, Hardin County, Ohio. The Ammarilla mentioned in the letter is another of Elizabeth's sisters.
Daniel refers to a Peter. I believe it is his older brother he is addressing and not his grandfather Peter who died in 1845?
If you are wondering where the locks of hair of the two children are, well, they were not attached to the letter and nowhere to be found in the papers that were given to me back in 2008 by a family member.

Temporarily unavailable.
Features a heel-toe weighted blade with a soft-stepped pocket, a tapered, face flush crank-neck hosel set closer to the heel and full-shaft offset.
The ProType line was born out of unique putters crafted for the best players in the world. The Odyssey design team has taken feedback from Tour players all over the world to create a line of forged-milled premium putters that offer a uniquely soft feel while still giving the crisp feedback of a steel putter. With the fine tuned design and custom color program, the ProType Tour Series line lets you feel like a pro.
1025 carbon steel head produces similar performance characteristics to stainless steel with a softer feel.
A deeper, sharper milling pattern on the face increases interaction between the face and the ball for better feel, truer roll and more consistency.
Golfers will have the opportunity to truly personalize their putter by selecting among six different colors for their grips and putter head paint fill.
Subtle tweaks to the design allow us to optimize the putter head with the shaft length using slightly heavier heads for shorter models to optimize feel, control and accuracy.
Feedback from Tour pros provided insights that allowed the Odyssey design team to create the most finely tuned putters we've ever created. This precise craftsmanship creates ideal balance to promote a smooth stroke.
High polish steel provides classic look. The satin finish is designed to meet the demands of Tour players seeking a modern take on a traditional look.
Thin, smaller pistol shape appeals to better players. The grip is made of Lamkin's proprietary 3GEN material, which is their softest synthetic rubber compound and reduces vibration without dulling the feel of the putt.
An Odyssey Putter is a promise made. Sure, we design each of our putters to help you slay more demons and sink more putts. But we also design them to withstand any kind of punishment you can dish out and we back them up with an Odyssey assurance of quality. We rarely see a putter returned, but if you find a defect within a two-year period, we'll repair it or replace it. No questions asked. And that's a promise kept.

"Your Salary Raise Confirmation" Phishing Scam
- 05-28-2014
- By Dean Jay Williams
Email with a Subject of "Your Salary Raise Confirmation" is a phishing scam -- an attempt to steal your UVM credentials (your Net-ID and password). Please do not click on the link in the message, and don't reply to it; simply delete the email.
Any email that asks you to to enter your UVM password on a non-UVM web site is a phishing scam. Do not click links in such messages, and do not reply. Hover your cursor over links to see where they would take you; if a link is not going to "http://www.uvm.edu/" or "http://uvm.edu/", don't click. If you go to a site and the address bar in your web browser doesn't show it's a uvm.edu site, quit or exit your browser. UVM will never ask you to enter your UVM Net-ID and password on a non-UVM web page -- even if it looks like a UVM page, and even if it's on a reputable site, such as Google Docs, 123contactform.com or contactme.com, or if it contains UVM graphics and you've been directed there by an email that appears to come from a UVM email address.
What to do if you've clicked on the link
If you've followed the link in the message, or replied to this email or one like it, you should change your password immediately at www.uvm.edu/account. Contact the UVM Computing Helpline if you need assistance changing your password.
For more information about phishing scams, view our Web page on protecting your NetID and password.
If you are ever uncertain about the legitimacy of an email message concerning your uvm.edu account, please contact the Computing Help Line at 656-2604, or submit a help request online.
If you would like to report phishing, please forward the phishing email, as an attachment, to firstname.lastname@example.com and to email@example.com. (To forward a message as an attachment using Thunderbird, go to the Message menu and select Forward As > Attachment.)
The "Your Salary Raise Confirmation" Phishing Scam
The link in this message would take you to a non-UVM site in an attempt to steal your password. Although the link appears to go to a uvm.edu site, if you hover your cursor over the link -- without clicking on it -- you can see that it's really going to take you to tml.ru.

About Thailand
Thailand occupies the western half of the Indochinese peninsula and the northern two-thirds of the Malay Peninsula in southeast Asia. Its neighbors are Burma (Myanmar) on the north and west, Laos on the north and northeast, Cambodia on the east, and Malaysia on the south. Thailand is about the size of France.
Constitutional monarchy.
The Thais first began settling their present homeland in the 6th century, and by the end of the 13th century ruled most of the western portion. During the next 400 years, they fought sporadically with the Cambodians to the east and the Burmese to the west. Formerly called Siam, Thailand has never experienced foreign colonization. The British gained a colonial foothold in the region in 1824, but by 1896 an Anglo-French accord guaranteed the independence of Thailand. A coup in 1932 demoted the monarchy to titular status and established representative government with universal suffrage.
At the outbreak of World War II, Japanese forces attacked Thailand. After five hours of token resistance Thailand yielded to Japan on Dec. 8, 1941, subsequently becoming a staging area for the Japanese campaign against Malaya. Following the demise of a pro-Japanese puppet government in July 1944, Thailand repudiated the declaration of war it had been forced to make in 1942 against Britain and the U.S.
By the late 1960s the nation's problems largely stemmed from conflicts brewing in neighboring Cambodia and Vietnam. Although Thailand had received $2 billion in U.S. economic and military aid since 1950 and had sent troops (paid by the U.S.) to Vietnam while permitting U.S. bomber bases on its territory, the collapse of South Vietnam and Cambodia in spring 1975 brought rapid changes in the country's diplomatic posture. At the Thai government's insistence, the U.S. agreed to withdraw all 23,000 U.S. military personnel remaining in Thailand by March 1976.

Time to sit back and unwind
(Will Smith)
School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
But back then I didn't really know what it was
But now I see what have of this
The way that people respond to summer madness...
Back in Philly we be out in the park
A place called the plateau is where everybody go...
And with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
To hit you and get you equipped for the summertime
Do you ever sit and think about summers as a kid?
Summer back in Rhode Island for me was hot, muggy afternoons playing wiffel ball, sunburns at Scarborough Beach, cannonballs into our backyard pool, and nights being eaten alive by mosquitoes while playing miniature golf.
Summer was also my mom's Strawberry Pie. Like an American flag, it was part of the 4th of July every year. As a kid, I LOVED strawberries. When I discovered that my cousin Anthony was allergic to them, I thought it was the saddest thing I had ever heard (of course, I was 6, so Darfur wasn't really on my radar).
To this day, strawberry pie is one of my favorite desserts. Not just because fresh strawberries are slathered with a tangy-sweet apricot sauce, and not just because all of that lusciousness is perched atop a flaky, melt-in-your-mouth pie crust.
Nope. It's because strawberry pie still reminds me of sticky summers as a kid. And my mom.
Every year, Mom's strawberry pie marked summertime in our house. It's easy to make and so delicious that kids and adults will squabble over who gets the last piece. Really. It happens every time.
I made mine with a homemade pie crust, but if you're pinched for time, a store-bought crust or graham cracker crust would work too. Eat it as is, or top it with a dollop of whipped cream, some chocolate sauce, or Jeff's favorite, mascarpone cheese. Any way you slice it, it's simply summertime scrumptious.
Strawberry Pie with Mascarpone Cheese
Summertime Strawberry Pie
Makes one 9 inch pie
Print recipe only here.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ stick unsalted butter (very chilled)
1 large or extra large egg
1-2 tablespoons ice water, or as much as needed
1/2 cup finely chopped, ripe strawberries
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 (10-ounce) jar apricot preserves (reserve 1-2 tablespoons for spreading on the baked crust)
3 pints of medium sized fresh strawberries (though you may need slightly more or less depending on the size of the berries)
Place rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Use a 9-inch pie plate (preferably glass) coated with cooking spray.
Making the crust with a processor: Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade; pulse several times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 10 times until the dough becomes pebbly in texture. Add the egg and pulse repeatedly until the dough begins to stick together. Slowly add the ice water by the tablespoonful, while using a few long pulses. Add more drops of ice water, as necessary, until the dough holds together well and forms a ball. Invert the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll the dough into a circle one inch larger than your pie plate.
Making the crust by hand: In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add chunks of chilled butter, and using a pastry blender or two forks, chop the butter until it resembles little pebbles. At this point, add the egg and ice water, and stir with a spoon until the dough begins to form. Using your hands and working the dough as little as possible, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Knead until the dough holds together. Roll the dough into a circle one inch larger than your pie plate.
Fit the dough snugly inside the plate. Pinching the dough between your index finger and thumb, make a fluted edge around the crust. Prick the crust all over with the top of a fork since the crust will be blind-baked. Refrigerate the pie crust while preparing the filling (you can even refrigerate the crust overnight, which makes a super crispy crust that won't get soggy from the strawberry sauce).
To make the filling, place all filling ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
For blind-baking the crust, use pie weights or cover the pie with parchment paper and fill with dried beans to prevent the crust from shrinking. Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven, remove pie weights, and let cool.
Spread 1-2 tablespoons of apricot preserves on the bottom of the pie crust (this helps keeps it crispy). Pile the sliced strawberries inside the crust (3 pints is usually just right, but you may use more or less depending on the size of the berries). Pour the cooled strawberry-apricot sauce over the strawberries until well covered, leaving about 1/2 inch space between the sauce and the fluted edge.
If there is leftover sauce, then save it to spread on your morning toast or toss into a smoothie!
Have you heard? I'm hosting Sugar High Friday this month, and if you hadn't guessed it already, the theme is berries! The deadline is Sunday, August 3rd, and full details can be found here. Thanks to those of you who have already sent in berry-licious desserts!

Nearly a year ago, I took a look at the original Asteroid in-car computing platform. Initially based on the Android 1.6 operation system, the first Asteroid model showed great potential but was hobbled by a small display, limited network connectivity, and a lack of video playback capabilities among other criticisms. Being a first-generation device, it was more proof of concept: Was the market ready for car computing? Apparently so, as Parrot has released its next generation in their car computing line, called the Asteroid Smart.
Asteroid Smart is a 6.2-inch Asteroid tablet mounted into a car dashboard that runs a slightly enhanced version of Android 2.3.7. The first thing that struck me when I began using the new device was how much faster and responsive it is when compared with the original Asteroid. The interface was also far easier to navigate compared with the first-generation model.
Installation was easy considering that much of the hard work was done previously when I installed the original Asteroid. In addition to the audio jacks, the Asteroid Smart adds video input and output for backup cameras and broadcast to other displays in the car. The Smart also now has built-in WiFi to allow the Asteroid to connect to hotspots, WiFi cards and home networks when parked.
Figure 1: Installing the Asteroid Smart.
Other features that take the Asteroid Smart far beyond the original hardware implementation include the ability to pair up to 10 phones for both voice activation dialing and contact list selection from the Smart's display. The bright multitouch display behaves just as you would expect any Android tablet-style surface to behave, with multitouch, scrolling, and using your finger to quickly navigate the interface. And contents being displayed can be seen easily even in mid-day sunlight.
Figure 2: The Asteroid Smart's screen can be seen easily in daylight.
You can also connect up to four USB devices, with the ability to charge power hungry 5V phones and tablets, including iPads and Nexus 7 tablets. And Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR connectivity with the full complement of profiles (HSP, HFP, OPP, PBAP, A2DP, AVRCP) are also fully supported.
The Asteroid Smart also comes with an 8GB SD card containing the iGO street navigation application. However, when I tried to upsize to a larger storage card, the iGO application complained it was missing a license to run even though I had copied over from the original SD card what I thought were all the map files associated with the application. I searched in vain for any hidden files or permissions that were different on the target SD card to no avail. Alas, I opted to remove the iGO application to try out alternative GPS road navigation applications available for download from the Parrot Asteroid Market. These were Asteroid-optimized ports of the free Maps and the subscription-based Wikango HD US. Neither were particularly compelling and I would have preferred Google Maps' Android application instead, but that's not a market option at the moment.
As for the other Asteroid Smart applications either already on the device or available from the store, all the essentials for in-car entertainment are available except video players. While the hardware is quite capable of video playback (proven by the fact that as a test, I side-loaded the open source Dolphin media player and played back several low-bit encoded MP4's without incident), I suspect Parrot is intentionally omitting video media players in their market to prevent customers from being dangerously distracted while driving. The exception to this video playback experience is the inclusion of a rear-view camera viewing application, as the Asteroid Smart has an orange ISO cable connection port for cars installed such cameras. This application is automatically launched when cars with these cameras are put into reverse. Also of note is that the Asteroid Smart features video output ports to broadcast media playback signals to displays mounted elsewhere in the car such as in the rear passenger area.
Of interest to developers is an Application safety control option in the Settings->Advanced Settings dialog box. As a safety precaution, this option is re-enabled each time car starts. Its safety features disable applications deemed distracting to the driver until the parking break is engaged. To learn more about coding this support into applications being ported to the Asteroid Smart, check out the information on the Asteroid DevZone Wiki for more information.
Development Experience
Thanks to the fact that the Asteroid Smart has built-in WiFi, I was able to connect the device to my home network. There's nothing like pulling up to your driveway and watching the Asteroid auto-negotiate a connection to your home network, ready to sync up everything from podcasts to application files.
As a result of this and Android's ability to deploy and debug APKs via a USB connection, you can easily set up a development scenario even after the Asteroid Smart has been installed. One feature that would be even nicer is the ability to eventually deploy and debug wirelessly, a feature that's standard in most Android 4.x devices. While it is possible to get remote wireless ADB capabilities to work on the Asteroid Smart, doing so requires rooting the device and installing a third party hack. Same thing goes for getting Google's own applications like the Google Play marketplace, Google Maps, and Gmail to run on the Asteroid Smart. And even though I was tempted to try, I opted to steer clear of doing so for now. Not only are most of the applications on the Google Play market not optimized for the Asteroid Smart (even though they should be able to execute without problems, assuming they were compiled to run on the Android 2.3 OS release), doing so could be hazardous while driving.
As such, developers interested in porting their Android apps for the Asteroid Smart platform need to take these design and user interaction principles to heart. Even so, a hack to install a working instance of Google Play will undoubtedly show up one day, probably by some determined tinkerer on the XDA Developer Forums.
While not required, it's a good idea to sign up for a developer account on the Parrot Asteroid Developer's Zone website in order to obtain access to the Asteroid SDK and forums to post questions to the Parrot developer support staff. The site features a Wiki where developers can learn about developing for the Asteroid Smart as well as distributing your wares through Parrot's Asteroid Market. Once you're ready to submit your app for Asteroid Market consideration, developers can sign up and sign into Parrot's Asteroid Dev Connect portal.
Dark Sky Redux
In an earlier article on Recon Instrument's wearable ski goggles article, I developed a custom application that consumed weather data from the Dark Sky web service. Given that Recon's platform was also based on Android 2.3 and the fact that the data window was intended for quick glances of information, porting the Dark Sky-powered app to the Asteroid Smart platform was an easy choice. But because the display on the Asteroid Smart is large, bright and beautiful, I opted to enhance the application with second screen that shows the current weather radar map for the region. Since the base code for obtaining GPS coordinates and submitting that data to the Dark Sky web service hasn't changed, readers interested in learning more about that portion of the project should read my Recon Instruments article.
Adding the weather-map screen was rather easy. Unlike desktop applications, especially form-driven .NET applications for Windows, Android applications do not really have a concept of forms to be displayed and hidden. Not only is this because of the need to constrain memory resources on mobile devices like Android, but also because Android employs the concept Intents to call upon other programs. As such, the weather screen in my Dark Sky-driven application on the Asteroid is an Intent that is called by my original main program. This Intent approach also can be used to expose this screen so that it can be called by other Android programs on the device that have been granted permission to do so.

Here is a photograph of James Sharp. This is another of the photographs I have that I wish to make available to others.
James Sharp was born 7 January 1840 in Misson, Nottinghamshire, England to Thomas Sharp and Elizabeth Cartwright. I wrote about his parents, the family's conversion to the LDS faith, and the trip to America in his brother's short biography, Sharp-Bailey Wedding.
Siblings William and Isabella continued west with a LDS wagon train and James stayed behind with his sister Elizabeth in St Louis. (Read more about Elizabeth here.) James and Elizabeth did not join the LDS faith with their mother (Elizabeth), William, and Isabella.
James married Eudora Elvira Mann 3 March 1863 in Nashville, Davidson, Tennessee. Eudora "Dora" was born 1 May 1845 in Nashville. We do not know much of the life story, so how he met Dora and married her in Nashville we may never know. The two made their home in St. Louis though. James worked as a pork packer and initially started out in business with Patrick Muldoon around 1870. Here is the run down of the St. Louis directories.
1869 [FHL #980635] James Sharp with Muldoon and Sharp at 1612 Biddle.
1870 [Gould's p. 797] shows the same.
1871 [Gould's p. 601] the same, but also lists Sharp, James pork packer r[esident?] at 1119 N 17th. {FHL #980,636]
1872 shows Muldoon and Sharp at 1015 N 17th [N 17th goes from 1701 Market North to Angelica.]
1875 [p. 1171] Muldoon and Sharp, Pork Packers and Provision Dealers, 904 B'way.
1885 Sharp, James, Muldoon and Sharp 904 to 912 S 2d, r 2715 Mills. [There are now 7 pork packers listed, only 1 in 1875.]
1887, James C. Sharp is listed as a clerk at Muldoon and Sharp.
1888 is Sharp, James and Co., same address, te no. 2208.
1890 James Sharp and Co. now includes Sharp, James C. as cashier and Sharp,George as Clerk. All 3 at 3641 Finney Ave.
1895 Shows both James Sharp and James C. Sharp as packers, George W. Sharp as Manager and William M. Sharp as Clerk at James Sharp and Co., 904 S 2d. James C. now resides at 4354 Morgan, the other 3 still at 3641 Finney.
1896 and 1897 now show William M. as manager and George W. as supt.; James and James C. simply identifed as with Co.1898 directory is missing.
1899 Company not listed. James C. (same address) is broker; George W. is just listed, at 1811 Laflin; William M. and James are just listed, still living at 3641 Finney.
1900 James C. at Sharp and Westcott; George W., clerk at Manewal Lange Bakery, 3204 Morgan; William M. litho.,at home.
1901 James Sharp now resident at 4573 Page boul; James C. com. mer. 736 Bayard av; George W. still clerk at Manewal- Lange Bakery, resident at 3009 Easton. [William M. not listed]
1902 James C. mngr. Sharp Mnfg Co., 411 Fullerton bldg., r. 736 Bayard av;.George W. and William M. are both clerks, rresiding at 3156 Easton av.
1903 James still at 4573 Page boulevard; James C., ins., 721 Olive, r. 3732 Washington boul.
As you can probably tell from the information above, James put his children to work and included them in the business. James retired at 55 and turned the business over to his boys. By 1898 they had run the business in the ground, supposedly because of their like for being horsey (horse-racing).
James and Dora had 5 children.
Eudora Mann Sharp born 13 January 1864 and died 11 January 1938, both in St. Louis. She married Alexander A Bryden, who worked in the coal business.
Ida Lee Sharp born 8 October 1866 and died 23 December 1946, both in St. Louis. She was unmarried. She worked as a school teacher.
James Carlisle Sharp born 26 December 1868 in St. Louis and died 4 November 1952 in Valley Park, St. Louis, Missouri. He married Emma Manewal (and divorced) and Madeline C Grimm. He had a department store. Emma was the daughter of August Manewal, one of the confederation of bakers who formed the National Biscuit Company (NABISCO).
George W Sharp born 10 March 1871 in St. Louis and died in 1964 in Sand Springs, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Apparently he married a lady named Effie Olive, but we know nothing more about his life or her. He was badly disfigured after being kicked in the head by a horse at 3 years old.
William Muldoon Sharp born 4 October 1874 and died 24 March 1915, both in St. Louis. He also remained unmarried.
Eudora died 3 March 1894 of cerebral meningitis. She was listed as living at 3641 Finney Avenue. She was buried in the Bellefontaine Cemetery 5 March 1894.
James died at 68 years old on 24 February 1908 at the Bryden residence at 4573 Page Boulevard. He fell from a Page Avenue car (assuming trolley car) according to his obituary. He was on his way home from a lodge meeting when he stepped from a car in motion. He was injured in the fall on the 22nd, not clear how, and died on the 24th. He was a founder of St. George's society and served as a treasurer for several year. He was also a member of the Merchants' Exchange and a veteran member of the St. Louis Lodge No. 5, I.O.O.F. He was buried on the 24th, also at Bellefontaine Cemetery.

To Be A Secretary
One of the things I want to do is to make sure that when I finally burn out as secretary, the secretary stuff can be passed easily onto another person, or else set off into lots of different roles, a bit like how the God Emperor of Dune did it.
What you should do
The 2300 extension on the internal Resources/Telephony phone systm should point to the secretary's mobile number. You should be able to do this by logging into the system that runs asterisk (currently it is pony) and changing the line marked 'Secretarial extension' in /etc/extension.conf to contain your cellphone.
Get your ssh key added to the secretary@pony account's authorized_keys so you can log into it.
Secretarial duties
Answer 'email@example.com' email
This should be primarily a redirection service, which is to say that the canonical secretarial email is:
(I think the answer is X but to be sure) I'm passing you onto somebody I think knows the real answer, who is Y.
Keep the insurance up to date
Keep the membership rolls up to date
Actually, this is still effectively done by the Treasurer, but it should be the secretary's job.

Viking fdw100ws
In the 70's Fred Carl Jr., a fourth generation building contractor was building kitchens for his clients and saw many of them used commercial ranges in their home. When it was time for him to build his own kitchen, he realized the commercial ranges that were offered were not well suited for the home. His wife wanted a classic looking range like the old Chambers, her mother used to use. His solution was to create a hybrid range that would combine the look and styling of commercial ranges and yet have the safety features and sizes home consumers desired.
Consistency in both performance and design should be a major consideration when building or remodeling a home. With the complete Viking indoor or outdoor kitchen, every single product works together in form and function with the same level of excellence. It's something Viking calls Design Integrity.
Viking offers complete ultra-premium kitchens and truly consistent design, while delivering the quality and performance that make Viking the true market leader. Across all product categories, the knobs, handles, bezels, curves, angles, and lines all follow the same design cues â even the grain of stainless is the same from product to product. This enables the designer to create a perfectly harmonious kitchen in one of three Viking product offerings â Professional Indoor, D3 Indoor, or Professional Outdoor.
You wouldn't install mismatched cabinets and drawers or countertops. Yet design differences are even more dramatic between multiple appliance manufacturers. Traditional or contemporary. Stainless or color finish. No matter the look you're going for, no one can match the Viking kitchen and Viking Design Integrity.
The new Viking D3 Series offers a fresh perspective on premium performance - yours. Viking listened to customers, designers, and home chefs. So in addition to all the power and features you'd expect from Viking, the D3 Series offers new options in style. Finally, there's a choice for true performance and it's completely up to you. Viking D3 delivers exceptional performance in standard sizes, so it's easy to upgrade your kitchen.

Pretty sure Brenchel is JUMPING. Whether that is just an exercise or part of Detour A or even Detour B is hard to say. I think both Detours will involve Maasai tasks...one (throwing) perhaps more physical than the other.
^Where did you get all that from?
Quote from: Prophet on April 08, 2012, 07:05:56 AM^Where did you get all that from?just a dream I had. Why else would Nary get called out by Border Patrol at the same location where the fight took place. She must of done something, talked down someone, or kicked some ass, for the border patrol, basically similar training, to deduce that she totally can't be a black belt K teacher.
I am more interested in, see who gets the quote!!!!
Quote from: TARFansurvivor on April 08, 2012, 09:34:56 AMI am more interested in, see who gets the quote!!!!Me too! My guess is that Vanessa gets it, because Rachel (BB) is the crybaby! But, I don't know for sure.

Hi Angella, congratulations on your 10k!!! I completed one last november and hope to complete one this year again.
I also invested in "skorts" skirt-shorts they are great, just be sure to rub some baby powder in your inner thights before running to prevent soreness.

Law students at Ohio State have a variety of housing options from which to choose, including on-campus housing in graduate student residence halls, a university-operated apartment complex for families, and privately owned apartments located just a short distance from the Moritz College of Law.
South Campus Gateway
Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a new apartment that included Internet, cable, a fitness center, and in-unit washer and dryer? What if that same apartment was just steps from the Moritz College of Law? That was one of the goals behind the South Campus Gateway apartment complex, and the safety, convenience, and quality of life within the apartments have made it a popular choice amongst Moritz students. Law students get first preference on renting the apartments, and about one-quarter of all Moritz students reside there. More Information on South Campus Gateway
University Housing
Law students also have the option of living in one of the University-operated buildings near the law school. Due to renovations of some graduate residence halls, space is limited, so it is recommended you visit the OSU Housing web site as soon as possible to ensure housing. More Information on University Housing
Off-Campus Housing
Law students have a wealth of choices when it comes to living in privately owned housing. The location of the Ohio State campus, and specifically the Moritz College of Law, allows convenient access to many large and small apartment complexes with varying costs and amenities.

The developers behind the widely respected Qt project have lived through to fight another day after life under Nokia to now reside with commercial Qt channel company Digia. This week sees the release Qt 5.0 with what is claimed to be a "step function" increase in performance and better functionality to help developers address the paradigm shift(s) (note the plural) that touchscreens and tablets require.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
- Making the Financial Case for Outsourcing Endpoint Protection
- Collective Offense Calls for Collective Defense
- The Changing Face of Threat Intelligence
- Keeping the Business Running with Remote Network Management
NOTE: Digia says that Qt 5.0 will be the platform on which full Android and iOS support will be delivered during the coming year.
Key benefits of Qt 5 include: graphics quality; performance on constrained hardware; cross-platform portability; support for C++11; HTML5 support with QtWebKit 2; an improved QML engine with new APIs; ease of use and compatibility with Qt 4 versions.
NOTE: QML is a declarative language designed to describe the user interface of a program: both what it looks like and how it behaves. In QML, a user interface is specified as a tree of objects with properties.
Qt's ability to deliver graphics has been enhanced with the use of OpenGL ES (the version of the graphics application programming interface designed specifically for embedded systems and mobile devices). This (says Digia) makes it easier to develop and deploy rich graphics with velvet-like animations and transitions, as well as smoothly rendered 2D and 3D animations on high-end architectures and on devices with relatively limited performance, such as mobile phones, tablets, and low-cost development platforms including Raspberry Pi.
Cross-platform portability is made simpler in Qt 5 due to a new modularized code base, consisting of essentials and add-on modules, which enable the system code size to be reduced. The consolidation of the Qt Platform Abstraction layer also emphasizes cross-platform portability by enabling the ease of development for multiple-target deployment, bringing freedom to the developer.
NOTE: Qt supports all major desktop operating systems, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux; embedded operating systems such as embedded Linux, Windows Embedded, and the most widely deployed real-time operating systems for embedded devices — VxWorks, Neutrino and INTEGRITY — and popular mobile OSes.
The Qt WebKit 2 integrated browser engine allows easy integration of web content and applications. It will make HTML5 developers "feel at home" and enable hybrid applications to be developed that combine the responsiveness and power of native code with large amounts of dynamic content.
"Qt 5.0 is the first major Qt release Digia has put out since acquiring the full Qt rights from Nokia earlier this autumn. We are happy to release Qt 5.0 together with the Qt Project and are pleased that we have been able to quickly and successfully integrate our development teams immediately after the acquisition process to deliver this anticipated Qt release. Qt 5.0 marks the beginning of the new Qt strategy and serves as the foundation for the further development of Qt," said Tommi Laitinen, senior vice president, Digia.

1501 PT: By the way, coverage of the Oscars starts at 1700 PT/2000 ET on ABC. E! has live ongoing coverage from the red carpet.
1540 PT: I must say, this one's particularly bittersweet as a Bollywood fan. The only Bollywood movie that had a shot at an Award -- India's official entry for the Best Foreign Film category, Taare Zameen Par (2007), was snubbed. Slumdog Millionaire is obviously *not* a Bollywood movie. These words aren't mine alone. Director Danny Boyle was pretty clear in his statements. Sample this from a NY Times piece: Mr. Boyle, for his part, does not think he has made an Indian movie. "No, no, no, it's not a Bollywood film. It's a good story. It's a narrative."
Really, Danny? Really? For all the trash talk Bollywood receives for some of its escapist cinema, is it not ironic that the media darling today is none other than a film involving a slum dweller in Mumbai, a chai wala, speaking English in a quasi-British accent and answering questions involving Shakespeare? Perhaps Taare Zameen Par was too real, too thought-provoking, for the Oscars? Such a double standard. Tsk-tsk. Of course, if he wins, we might hear a very different Boyle tonight. Diplomacy in the mass media, and that's okay, it's part of showbiz.
Here's what bugs me some more. From a Times of India interview with Oscar jury member Krishna Shah: "The main thing is that Indian films are not world class. Oscars jury thinks differently and Indian filmmakers also think differently before making a film. And the second thing is that there no one has the time to watch an entire 4 to 5 minutes long song sequence." No wonder our better than world class Hindi films have only been nominated thrice in 81 years! (Those would be Mother India (1957), Salaam Bombay (1988), and the greatest film ever made, Lagaan (2001).)
1545 PT: Tanay Chheda and the kids on E! These kids are smart. And cute, and adorable. For them alone, I might root for the film. Truth is, they made it tick. No? Tanay Chheda, you might recall, also starred in Taare Zameen Par. Also saw glimpses of Irrfan Khan and Anil Kapoor. Oh, they're talking to them now! Irrfan says it's in "the style of the film," that it's "the Hindi film elements Danny has used very intelligently. It's a masala movie, and there's so much going with it." Oh, wait. I thought Danny said this wasn't Bollywood? A sum of all parts? Anil Kapoor is "really overwhelmed". Anil is HYPED, man. "Fantastic," he says, "it's not three, it's TEN!"
1550 PT: Now talking to Dev Patel and Freida Pinto. Anil Kapoor says, "India we love you, and the Indian film industry!"
1552 PT: It would be nice if Freida talked like a lady. She sounds so...naive. Besides, kuch kuch nahin hota hai yaaron. Someone call Katrina Kaif here!
1553 PT: Must say, Anil's representing. Good stuff! Which leads me to why I'm live blogging today. I'm usually the last to talk of Awards. And this movie in particular is hardly the ideal channel in my opinion, but living in Southern California, I know it's made my job pitching Bollywood to non-Indians easier. Besides, at least the people at work now know I'm not a nut for having framed Lagaan memorabilia in my office ;)
1558 PT: Danny Boyle was speaking. A. R. RAHMAN and a lady in a salwar kameez in the backdrop! Someone speak to him, dammit!
1600 PT: One hour away.
1603 PT: Hema Malini's reactions on the film and the Oscars. Agreed! And here's a cool picture (from here):
1613 PT: A. R. Rahman has three nominations tonight. For music (score), music (song, "Jai Ho"), and Music (song, "O Saaya"). I agree with his stance, as Indian Express notes.
1620 PT: Here's the complete list of nominations. Among those I'd like to see win are Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet.
1650 PT: See 1545 update above for accompanying sighting. Here are the kids from about an hour ago, from this Times of India gallery.
(Front left to right): Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, Rubina Ali, Ayush Mahesh Khedekar; (Back left): Ashutosh Lobo Gajiwala, Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar and Tanay Hemant Chheda.
1710 PT: There's this really good shot of the cast. Dev Patel talks sense when proclaiming the kids "the real stars". He can do a lot better than Freida, take it from a guy. =)
1720 PT: Unrelated thoughts. My 'gorgeous women' awards go to: Penelope Cruz, Kate Winslet (okay, I'm biased), Amy Adams and Anne Hathaway. More to follow, surely.
1731 PT: Disappointed at no discussion with A. R. Rahman. They spoke to the music director for Wall-E. I'm wondering if they even realized the humble Rahman's who he is! He's with some beautiful and beautifully dressed lady, I'm guessing his wife :) Hugh Jackman the host is on. Here we go.
1734 PT: "Just a humble slumdog, sitting in a chair...I'm only here so I can phone a friend. The Slumdog Millionaire just needs some Milk." We'll hear about this bit with the milk, in the Indian papers by someone. LOVE the Frost/Nixon bit. Anne Hathaway! Dare I say...haaye Allah! No, that's property of Juhi Chawla, of course. :)
1741 PT: A shout-out to Kramer vs Kramer for Meryl Streep, means a shout-out's in order for its Bollywood remake, Akele Hum Akele Tum (1995).
1753 PT: Rahman's featuring in the Oscar trophy pose (well, close enough, just the hands out of position any way). From the TOI link in the 1650 update.
1801 PT: +1 for Slumdog Millionaire (SM) and Simon Beaufoy, for the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. Vikas Swaroop's the author of the book.
1833 PT: +2 and 2 for 2 for SM. Anthony Dod Mantle for Best Cinematography. Expected.
1840 PT: Still no signs of A. R. Rahman. Either they haven't done their research, or they don't care.
1845 PT: Random thought... The Love Guru (2008) won big at the Razzies last night. I wonder if Partner (2007) starring Salman Khan and Govinda would have done better here. :o)
1853 PT: Someone tell the ethnocentric Krishna Shah (see 1540 update) that musicals are alive and well at the Oscars :P
1917 PT: Best Documentary Short Film goes to Megan Mylan for Smile Pinki! From here: Pinki, a girl in rural India whose cleft lip has made her a social outcast, has a chance for a new life when she meets a dedicated social worker. The theme is evident, folks.
1925 PT: Will Smith reiterates what I've always been saying. "Action movies don't always get the respect they deserve." That's a cool way to describe the response in some segments to Ghajini (2008)! Oh, wait, it was the highest grossing film of all time, it would be unfair to complain. :)
1929 PT: Best Sound Editing does not go to Slumdog. Sound mixing nominees being announced. Resul Pookutty from A. R. Rahman's team wins!!! Rasul dedicates the Award to his country. No thanks to Rahman? More on him here.
1935 PT: It's 4 of 5 now for SM. Chris Dickens wins for Best Editing.
1944 PT: It's great to see Jerry Lewis! A well-deserved award for his humanitarian efforts. Quite the gentleman, too.
1953 PT: Time for Best Original Score. GO RAHMAN! And the winner is...YES, it's him!!!! The crowd goes wild. There is a God! :)
1954 PT: Mere Paas Maa Hai (I have mom), he says (it's from Deewaar (1975)), thanks his mother. Gulzar, Blaze. God is great! (Added later, picture source: Times of India.)
1956 PT: Oh, Rahman's singing! Woo hoo! O Saaya! Lovely choreography. For some reason, I just had a weird flashback to a dancer in Michael Jackson's Black or White. And Jai Ho!
2000 PT: Best Original Song goes to: A. R. Rahman and Gulzar for Jai Ho! Awwrrright! The essence of the film, which is the power of hope in our lives. The two choices are hate and love, and he chose love, he says.
2005 PT: For Best Foreign Language film...let out the boo birds. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Once more.
You suck!
Aside: I'll have a Taare Zameen Par update soon, I promise.
*Sorry, I know I'm not in a sports arena, but you get the point.*
2020 PT: 7 of 8 for SM. Danny Boyle wins for Best Editor. A shout-out to Tigger from Winnie the Pooh? *Yawn* Oh well, Tigger is my favorite character from the series any way. Yeth, iths true.
2030 PT: Pray tell me it's Kate Winslet. And it is! It is ABOUT time.
2047 PT: One of Ashutosh Gowariker's favorites Steven Spielberg is on. Tom Hanks rules!
2052 PT: Best Picture (what a formality) about to be announced...goes to...
2054 PT: SM!!! The kids are on stage!!! A. R. Rahman, Irrfan Khan, Anil Kapoor, and Azharuddin Mohammad in the front row. This is quite extraordinary. Warner Brothers, eat your heart out! Someone let Anil speak!
2058 PT: Okay, so hardly any surprises here. 8 Oscars in all for SM. Historic? Absolutely. Was it well-deserved? You tell me.
2102 PT: I'm off to an after party for a bit. I'll end with this: A. R. Rahman and his greatness do not mean any more to me tonight than they did about 15 years ago with their Bollywood debut with Rangeela (1994). Yet, it's about time a Lagaaniite held an Oscar in his hand! Peace!
0730 PT (2/23): Note to self (like one of them Ghajini notes on my desk) -- partying until late on Sunday night is not the recommended approach. Gee, I thought I'd learned that my Freshman year in college, but I guess not. Some links this morning:
- Aamir Khan has a congratulatory note to Resul, Rahman, Gulzar.
- Bhargav has a list of all winners from the show.
- Darshit has compiled links to A. R. Rahman resources.
- Nicki has a list of the Oscars prizes SM received.
- Pitu has some awards to hand out!
- Shweta's giving new meaning to the infamous Lagaan dialogue -- "Chhoti chhoti aankhen, aur bade bade sapne?" (small eyes and big dreams?) -- with her pick as India's entry to the Oscars for next year. :P

One of the disadvantages of living in
She has a point. Sparkling palm trees just don't have the same effect as those big old-fashioned multicolored lights peeking through the snow on pine trees and holly bushes.
There must be something programmed in me though, because as soon as the sky turns grey and the air has a chill (as it does today), I inexorably start lighting Home for the Holidays candles and sorting though Christmas cookie recipes.
Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without the Charlie Brown Christmas special or eating cookies. Like Charlie Brown says, it's not about who has the shiniest Christmas tree (or Lexus as it were), it's about the true meaning of Christmas -- eating. Well, more like the warm feeling you get inside, as when you share and eat Christmas cookies.
So, find your Traditional Holiday Music Channel, light your Christmas candles, and start baking. Beat your egg whites into stiff peaks of snow. Dip your cookies in chocolate so shiny smooth you could ice skate on it. Then send them to me. Well, don't actually send them to me, send them to your mom or your son or your neighbor. Then send me the link.
Click HERE to see the cookies, updated regularly.
Here's how you can participate:
1. Post about a Christmas cookie from now through December 24th at midnight PST. Please try to send them by December 17th because I will be posting your recipes as I receive them; the earlier you send them, the more likely someone else will see your recipe and try it before Christmas.
2. Within the post, please link to http://foodblogga.blogspot.com and to http://foodblogga.blogspot.com/2007/11/christmas-cookies-from-around-world.html
and place the Eat Christmas Cookies logo.
- Your preferred name
- Your blog's name and URL
- The URL of your entry
- The name of the cookie
- Where you live
- If you'd like a picture to accompany your entry, then please attach a photo of your cookies.
4. Don't have a blog but would like to participate?
(That means you Cheryl and Auntie Diane)
No problem. Just email me your name, location, recipe, and brief description or story about the cookies. Please attach a picture to the email if you'd like it to accompany your recipe, and I will post it to the website.
5. Questions? Email me.
