People hate reading, it's a fact. Unless of course the words are written by a sarcastic little scamp in New Jersey and they include images of giant apes who run the world. Luckily for the world I'm here and there's also these new "Planet of the Apes" comic books which tell a lovely story that takes place before the original 1968 classic. You're welcome world.
David Koepp has been brought in to do major work on the script of "Men in Black III" which apparently is a bit of a shit show right now. Apparently the original script had a full on hardcore sex scene between Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Rumor has it it actually called for close ups of penetration and everything. Shocking. Oh I'm kidding there was just some light necking and I guess that's staying in.
Sometimes you read the description of a film and you just say out loud on the bus "Yes, this makes sense!" Then the people on the bus look at you weird and you lose your bus pass rights. But it's worth it because the world is going to get "Black River" which stars former wrestler Hulk Hogan as a serial killer. Need more? "Diamond" Dallas Page is coming along for the ride! Just feels right doesn't it?
I've got to say, this new film from Canada titled "The Corridor" looks pretty freakin good. I know! From Canada of all places. Little America did something good that didn't include maple syrup! The movie focuses around a group of friends who reunite after loosing touch for a weekend in the woods. A strange happening though has them turning on each other and questioning reality. And drinking a lot of maple syrup I'm guessing.

Part of Axia's mission is to serve our local communities and continually seek ways to create the best experience for our clients. In many cases, Axians go above and beyond.
Theresa Decker, Axia Loan Originator from Minnesota, recently went on a mission trip to a village called Korah in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Spending 10 days in Korah with the organization "Out of the Ashes," Theresa bonded with kids who needed to be reminded they are loved and valuable, fed the poor humbly with a smile, and was honored to serve those who wanted nothing more than to be noticed and loved.
"Out of the Ashes" currently sponsors 427 children providing funds for education and assistance with housing, medical, and food. Their main goal is to educate and give tools to pursue higher education and employment to overcome poverty.
"I felt humanity at its core, we are all the same," said Theresa, "These people have touched my heart in a way I cannot explain and I will be returning for sure."
Theresa's experience has deepened her conviction that people matter. She encourages everyone to reach out to help others in ways that feel uncomfortable sometimes. Time is never wasted.
"Invest in the people around you and the processes you put into place so that you can take time away to invest in people, because it matters." – Theresa Decker

State superintendent commits to 150 schools
In his first visit to a Carson City school since being appointed state superintendent in August, Dale Erquiaga asked first-graders at Mark Twain Elementary School on Thursday if they knew what his job was.
Andrew Harris raised his hand.
"You're in charge of all the teachers in the whole world," he said.
Erquiaga explained that while his purview did not extend to the entire world, he does oversee the 710 public schools in Nevada.
"My job is scary, but not that scary," he said. As the chief of schools, he said, he wanted the state's children to know the importance of reading. To do that, Erquiaga will be joined by Gov. Brian Sandoval and members of the governor's cabinet in visiting 150 Nevada schools this year and reading to students in celebration of the state's sesquicentennial.
"Literacy is the foundation for all learning," Erquiaga said. "One's ability to effectively read, write, speak and listen ultimately becomes the primary factor for determining one's overall success in life — no matter what profession one chooses."
His visit Thursday — Nevada Day — was his first stop on the "Nevada Reads: Celebrating Literacy in 150 Schools" tour in recognition of the 150th anniversary of Nevada's admission to the Union.
He read "The Gullywasher," by Nevada author Joyce Rossi, a bilingual story about a young girl and her abuelito.
"Nevada has a lot of its own literary talent," Erquiaga said. "We're going to use these books."
Mckenzie Merrell, 7, appreciated the visit.
"It was really good," she said. "I like when new people read stories."
Erquiaga explained that while his grandparents spoke both Spanish and Basque, he never learned their native tongue. He asked the children to help him pronounce some of the words in the book.
"I liked the story about the girl and the grandpa," said Elayna Quintero, 6. "It was sweet."
In addition to promoting literacy, Erquiaga said, the visits will promote schools and the state.
"It's a great way for the Department of Education to express its pride," he said. "We're very proud of our state."

The soda ban caused a lot of concern among restaurant owners, since the ban could lead to a potential loss in revenue.
"I will lose a lot of money," said Nomi Shaq of Singa's Pizza in Sunnyside. "I have a lot in stock right now,"
Similar to Shaq, many local takeout places said they will suffer significantly from the ban, since they are not allowed to sell two-liter drinks with family meals, something that customers highly demand.
The ban on large sugary drinks was first proposed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as a way to combat obesity in the city. It was approved by the Board of Health last week.
The sudden approval left the food industry in a frenzy, especially for places with a large stock of soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks. Even popular franchises such as Dunkin' Donuts will have to change the way they serve their customers if the ban were to take effect.
For instance, employees would not be allowed to add sugar or sweetened-flavored syrups to large and extra large coffees; rather customers would have to do it themselves.
Bars and certain clubs would also be hurt by this new ban, since carafes that are used to carry mixers would have to be changed because they are over 16 ounces.
Critics of the ban also argue that it only targets restaurants, leaving places such as grocery stores and even 7-11 with its oversized Big Gulps out of the picture.
But not everyone was concerned about the ban before a judge put a halt to it.
An assistant manger of Monica's Café in Astoria didn't show much concern and said, "We serve our drinks in column glass, which is 10 ounces. Our sodas comes in 8-ounce bottles, and all of our beverages are under 16 ounces.'
Similarly, the cashier at Martha's Country Bakery in Forest Hills also wasn't very worried, saying We probably have to change the size of the cup, the 20 oz. are going to be changed."
"There's a lot of question with business regarding the practical implications," said Lyle Sclair, executive director of the Bayside Village BID. "Small mom-and-pops can't figure out with what's going on. It's a double whammy for small businesses because they don't have anything to fall back on."
Following the judge's decision, Bloomberg said the city would continue to push for the ban, and that society's acceptance of larger and larger sugary drinks was causing a health epidemic in the city and across the country.
"Remember, for many years, the standard soda size was 6 ounces – not 16, it was 6," the mayor said. "Then it was 12 ounces, and people thought that was huge. Then it became 16, then 20 ounces.
"We believe it's reasonable to draw a line," he said, "and it's responsible to draw a line right now.

DOVE CREEK Southwest Colorado has always been a good place to find valuable things buried in the ground.
There are 1,000-year-old artifacts from a vanished culture, as well as uranium, natural gas and gold.
And now, some of the worlds most advanced scientists are going deep underground to look for clues to the nature of the universe itself.
Since 2010, scientists have been extracting a rare form of argon gas from a cluster of carbon dioxide wells on an escarpment north of Cortez. An international project called Darkside-50 plans to use the gas for an experiment that aims to identify dark matter for the first time.
At first glance, Darkside-50 sounds like a villainous plot from a science fiction movie, with government labs and elite colleges like Princeton University carrying out an experiment inside a hollowed-out Italian mountain with the aim of finding a mysterious substance called dark matter.
But really, its about answering an old question in astrophysics. Scientists have observed for decades that galaxies spin faster than they should based on the gravity of all the stars that are visible, said Henning Back, an engineering physicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
It sounds spooky, but really its because we know all this matter is there, and its emitting light, and we know there has to be something else, so we just called it dark matter, because its not emitting light, Back said.
The right equipment
Planet Earth is flying through dark matter all the time, but no one has ever seen it. Back and his team think that with the right equipment, they should be able to sense it. Thats where Southwest Colorados argon gas comes in.
Argon and a few other gases are scintillators they light up when radiation hits them.
The Darkside-50 team aims to extract 50 kilograms of argon, or about 110 pounds. The team will super-cool the argon until it becomes liquid about 10 gallons worth.
Then, scientists will put the argon tank inside a 30-foot water tank inside Italys Gran Stasso underground laboratory. There, shielded from the sun and any other source of light, the Darkside team hopes to detect faint pulses of light in the argon whenever a dark matter particle hits it.
We are not creating dark matter. We are literally just waiting for it, Back said. Were going to hope to see something. But it could be that it interacts so little that we need an even bigger detector.
In that case, they will need to build a one-ton-sized machine.
Argon is very common. In fact, almost 1 percent of the air we breathe is argon. But when argon is in the air, the sunlight hits it and it becomes very slightly radioactive.
The fact is that everythings radioactive, Back said. By weight, a banana is 100 times more radioactive than argon in the atmosphere.
But that tiny sliver of radiation is enough to spoil the Darkside experiment.
So scientists started searching for underground deposits of argon that are shielded from the sun, and they found just what they were looking for at Kinder-Morgans Doe Canyon wells.
I thought it was very interesting, but kind of strange that our little field in Southwest Colorado would get this attention, said Coy Bryant, Kinder Morgans production manager in Southwest Colorado.
Building a gas extractor
Backs group built an argon gas extractor inside the Kinder Morgan compressor plant. It doesnt get in the way of the carbon dioxide processing, Bryant said.
Bryant likes knowing that his carbon dioxide field is playing a small part in cutting-edge research that people around the world are watching.
Not that we have a huge role in it, but it is pretty neat, Bryant said.
Kinder Morgan has been a great host, Back said.
At the same time, no one has been publicizing the research project.
Michele Martz, an organic farmer from Cahone, said she had a hunch that something unusual was happening at Kinder Morgans compressor plant, and she discovered the Darkside-50 project through a Google search.
Martz, co-owner of SongHaven Farm, said shes satisfied that the argon project isnt a health risk, but it raises questions about property rights to substances that come up Southwest Colorados wells along with carbon dioxide or natural gas.
I was curious that it had never been put on record at the county level, Martz said.
Argon has some commercial uses, like welding equipment, but the market for ultra-low-radioactivity argon appears to have just one customer: the Darkside project.
Back said his team has collected about half the argon they need for Darkside-50.
Fingers crossed, we get everything we need this year, Back said.
If the team succeeds in finding dark matter, it will start to fill in massive gaps in the human races knowledge about the nature of the universe.
We still dont know what that dark matter particle is, Back said. All of the energy in the universe, only 4 percent of it is stuff you can see, and what were made of and everything you know and have ever known.
Some 23 percent of the universe is estimated to be dark matter. And three quarters of it is something else called dark energy.
The Darkside-50 experiment is not looking for dark energy. That remains a mystery to be solved another day, or by another generation.

A pregnant Seattle woman says she was kicked off a bus because of her baby's diaper odor—an ordeal that made her "feel like crap."
Nichole Hakimian and her 1-year-old son with an intestinal illness were on their way to a health clinic Tuesday, KOMO News reported.
"He had just pooped in his diaper as soon as I got on, because he was having diarrhea," Hakimian told the TV station.
U.S. & World
Hakimian said the driver asked her and her son to get off the bus because the smell was disturbing the ride for other passengers.
"I said, 'My son is sick. I'm taking him to a doctor's appointment,'" Hakimian told KOMO.
The driver then stopped the bus and about a half a mile from the clinic, she said. Hakimian, who is four months pregnant, found a nearby location to change her son's diaper.
"I feel like I was being discriminated against and bullied. And it made me feel like crap. It really did," she told KOMO.
After she got on another bus to the clinic, Hakimian learned her son was suffering from a stomach bug.
King County transit agency is investigating the incident after Hakimian's complaint.

Microsoft Bings on a challenge to Google in search
Story originally appeared on USA Today.
It's Microsoft vs Google in search: Bing is vastly improved, but Google, well, out Googles it.
VENICE BEACH, Calif. — Microsoft has its work cut out for it with its provocative "Bing It On" search challenge.
Say this three times to a co-worker, and gauge the reaction: "People prefer Bing over Google for the Web's top searches." Skeptical, most likely.
The words are Microsoft's tag line in a marketing campaign for Bing, the No. 2 search engine after Google.
Google had 67% market share in July, compared with 18% for Bing, according to measurement firm ComScore Media Metrix. But its influence is growing: Bing now provides search results made with the Siri digital assistant on Apple's iPhone and iPad, and provides search for Facebook and Yahoo.
Meanwhile, Google recently celebrated its 15th birthday by announcing refinements in its search engine, so we staged our own "Bing It On" test and took a deep dive into search-land.
First, the bottom line: Bing is way, way better than you might think, vastly improved since its 2009 launch. It's a very respectable second opinion, and if you were forced to only use Bing for searches, you'd be well served.
But Google is, well, Google — home of the driverless car, Internet-connected glasses and very simply, the greatest search engine ever. It is not just a way of life for most computer users, it is also — at least for this columnist — far ahead of Microsoft, especially in mobile.
Both Google and Bing get the majority of their results from links — the more folks point to an article or website, the more likely it is to be at the top of results. Both tap into the vast array of online databases — Wikipedia, IMDb, YouTube, Amazon and elsewhere — to add additional information.
Google's newly enhanced results also look at what it calls the "Knowledge Graph," a massive database with 570 million items, connected 18 billion ways, according to Google.
The results understand questions — "What time is it in Tokyo?" — and conversations that begin with a question and continue with follow-up queries you can ask in shorthand.
For instance, we asked Google to show us photos of the Eiffel Tower, and continued with "What year was it built?" and "Where is it?"
Google got all three on the money.
It can now do comparisons — "What's the difference between olive oil and butter?" — and show the calories, carbs and total fat for each.
Additionally, the Knowledge Graph pulls from your various Google tools, as long as you're signed into Google.
You may or may not like this, depending upon how much personal information you want Google to have. But once you're signed in, Google can pull from your Gmail, Google+ social network, Picasa photo library and more.
In our tests, we asked Google to yank "my sunset photos" (from G+) and find my upcoming flight to New York (from Gmail), and both worked spot on.
In past USA TODAY pieces about Google search, we've heard from readers who were uncomfortable having Google know even more about them. They found Bing to be less intrusive.
Reader Rich Steinberg, a Bing user, said "I avoid using Google as much as possible. I don't trust them at all."
Reader Mark Jenkins said he switched to Bing, because he didn't like how Google tries to jump-start his queries by offering responses before he's finished typing the question. "Bing makes suggestions but does not start something until I say go."
Here by the beach, most consumers we spoke with were die-hard Google users.
"I only use Google," said Jenny Cameron, from Bakersfield, Calif. "It's my default."
Angela Stephens, visiting from Georgia, switches immediately back to Google when Bing shows up on her computer. "I never use Bing," she says.
But Gwen Speas of Oregon does. Her Bing search is part of her MSN home page, and she likes it. "I use Bing, but I say Google," she says. "I'm actually Binging."
Beyond the "Bing It On," campaign, Microsoft is working hard to woo users from Google by paying them. The Bing "Rewards" program distributes retail discounts and freebies, similar to a frequent-flier program. A massive Bing searcher (every two searches is worth a point) could get a free Redbox DVD rental (110 points), $25 off an Expedia flight (250 points) or a $5 Starbucks card (525 points).
Google suggested we try the searches on mobile, where voice-activated search has gotten much attention from the company. The results — from flights, photos, olive oil vs. butter and a query about how many calories there are in a grape — handily beat Apple's Siri in speed and relevance.
Bing's app (on iOS, Android and Windows Phone,) paled in comparison:
• The Eiffel Tower query: Bing showed hotels near Eiffel Tower and a Wikipedia article about its history.
• "Show me my sunset photos." Results: Online sunset pictures.
On the plus side, when we asked Google and Bing a trick question — "How old is Punky Brewster?" — " Bing got it right, and Google didn't.
(Bing responded with the age of the actress who played Punky on the 1980s sitcom — Soleil Moon Frye — while Google responded with a link to a Wikipedia entry for the TV show as the top result.
So, it's great that Microsoft is spending lots of money and energy on improving its search results. No one wants to live in a world where Google's results are the only option.
While the company clearly overreached in claiming that people prefer Bing to Google (just look at the market-share data) Bing has morphed into a fine search engine.
Complaints about Google search largely have to do with privacy. Maybe you don't want Google to know what you're thinking, or fish through your e-mails and pull up your flight info, or give you search results before you've even finished typing.
That said, if it's basic information you're looking for, you want it to be fast and accurate, and are willing to surrender parts of your life to Google, well, it's still far and away the best game in town.

You have the patience to wait for the right person to come along.
- SCR (letter C)
You are a very social individual, and it is important to you to have a relationship. You require closeness and togetherness. You must be able to talk to your sex partner before, during, and after. You want the object of your affection to be socially acceptable and good looking. You see your lover as a friend and companion. You are very sexual and sensual, needing someone to appreciate and almost worship you. When this cannot be achieved, you have the ability to go for long periods without sexual activity. You are an expert at controlling your desires and doing without.
- SCR (letter R)
You are a no-nonsense, action-oriented individual. You need someone who can keep pace with you and who is your intellectual equal the smarter the better. You are turned on more quickly by a great mind than by a great body. However, physical attractiveness is very important to you. You have to be proud of your partner. You are privately very sexy, but you do not brag, you are willing to serve as teacher. Sex is important; you can be a very demanding playmate.

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman today administered the oath of office to Thomas P. D'Agostino as the third Under Secretary for Nuclear Security and Administrator of the Department's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
"I applaud the Senate's quick action to confirm Tom D'Agostino as Administrator of NNSA," Secretary Bodman said. "Tom brings institutional knowledge of the weapons complex and firsthand experience in leading our defense programs to his new position. I am pleased to have him on my senior leadership team as we work to further President Bush's energy and national security agenda and advance critical nonproliferation goals."
President Bush nominated D'Agostino on May 17, 2007, and he was confirmed by the Senate on August 1, 2007. D'Agostino, who joined the Department in 1991, most recently served as NNSA's Deputy Administrator for Defense Programs.
"I am honored by the opportunity to serve the President and Secretary Bodman as NNSA Administrator," D'Agostino said. "I look forward to fulfilling the President's vision of a smaller stockpile, transforming the country's weapons complex, and continuing to lead the world in combating the spread of nuclear weapons and material around the globe."
D'Agostino has more than 29 years of military service in the United States Navy, retiring with the rank of captain from the U.S. Naval Reserves. He received his bachelor's degree from the U.S. Naval Academy and his master's degrees from Johns Hopkins University and the Naval War College.
Established by Congress in 2000, NNSA is a separately organized agency within the U.S. Department of Energy responsible for enhancing national security through the military application of nuclear science. NNSA maintains and enhances the safety, security, reliability and performance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile without nuclear testing; works to reduce global danger from weapons of mass destruction; provides the U.S. Navy with safe and effective nuclear propulsion; and responds to nuclear and radiological emergencies in the United States and abroad.

Juan Cole:
All [of the GOP candidates] but Paul virtually promised the US public that they would go to war with Iran if elected. As Paul pointed out, the US has no money for such a war and it would be illegal and unconstitutional for the President just to launch it.
Newt Gingrich was the first to take the Iran question. He criticized Gen. Martin Dempsey for saying that the Iranian regime is "rational actors."
Gingrich said, "The fact is, this is a dictator, Ahmadinejad….
One problem is that Ahmadinejad is not a dictator. The presidency in the Iranian system is like the vice presidency in the United States. Ahmadinejad has lost fights with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and even with parliament over appointments. The Wikileaks cables say that a Revolutionary Guard officer even slapped him.
Gingrich continues, calling Ahmadinejad a dictator yet again, and accuses him of saying that he wants to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth.
…. he makes a false assertion. Ahmadinejad once quoted an old speech of Ayatollah Khomeini's from the 1980s, in which Khomeini said, "this occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time." "mahv shavad" or vanish is intransitive, so transitive verb like "eliminate" is incorrect as a translation. It was not a threat to destroy Israel through military action, but a prediction that the occupation regime would collapse rather as the Soviet Union had. The occupation regime over Gaza, after all, has in fact collapsed.
Gingrich says that Ahmadinejad wants to "drive the United States" out of the Middle East. While Ahmadinejad is an anti-imperialist, he has not threatened to attack the United States, as Gingrich implied. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei has repeatedly said that Iran has a "no first strike policy" and will not be the first to initiate hostilities.
In fact, Gingrich cannot refute Gen. Dempsey's assertion that Iran is a rational actor by reference to Ahmadinejad, who does not make military policy.
Gingrich also errs in not taking account of Iran's military weakness and inability to attack or destroy Israel. Iran has no air force to speak of, whereas Israel has the best air force in the region. Iran does not have a big tank army. It is far from Israel and could not send tank columns through Turkey or Iraq or Jordan. Besides, the Israelis would just destroy the tanks. And Israel has 400 nuclear bombs, which would deter Iran from attacking it even if Iran had that capacity, which it does not.
Romney said, "Ahmadinejad having fissile material that he can give to Hezbollah and Hamas and that they can bring into Latin America and potentially bring across the border into the United States to let off dirty bombs here. I mean — or — or more sophisticated bombs here, this — we simply cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weaponry."
This is Propaganda with a capital 'p'. Romney is appealing to an argument that stacks the cards. No nuclear country has ever given bombs to terrorist groups and there is no reason to think Iran would either. Iran does not, of course, even have such a bomb. Hizbullah and Hamas could not in fact carry a nuclear bomb (they are heavy, complicated and dangerous) around Latin America and up through Mexico to the US because Mexican authorities would detain them. Assuming there were Hamas in "Latin America," which there mostly are not. Romney is just making sh*t up with which to scare us.
He has to do this because Iran is far away from the US, is militarily weak, and poses no threat to the American mainland. By inventing radical Muslim fundamentalist Mexicans with a nuclear bomb miraculously supplied by an Iran that doesn't have one, Romney brings a sense of danger to an American audience.
Santorum brings up the rear arguing that US funding for anti-regime elements in Iran would have allowed the overthrow of the Khamenei government. But a few tens of millions of dollars cannot bring down a government, and open association with the United States is the kiss of death in Iranian politics.
This squalid performance by three of the leading lights of the GOP is a very troubling development. All seem reckless and willing to risk war with Iran. None seems terribly interested in the outcome. It is almost as though they were working for big munitions corporations.

Looking for anything on the mcdaniels families in old ninety six district SC 1750 - 1800
Current counties of SC that oomprised the Ninety Six District in 1790. - Cherokee, Spartanburg, Laurens, Pickens, Ooonee, Greenwood, McCormick, Union, Greenville, Newberry, Anderson, Abbeville, Saluda, Edgefield.
I just feel in my bones that there are McDaniels or genealogists out there that know the McDaniel families.
As always, any help would be appreciated.
Laugh, Smile, Cry, or Ponder
As you have probably already noted, Off Topic (1)* journal has been eliminated. I am sorry. You will not be able to go back, read, or to share with friends, families etc. The journal and comments that I and others have contributed I'm sure, was for your pleasure, and, hopefully for entertainment. I did not own the Journal. It was taken out without my knowledge. There was nothing wrong with that. This journal was not mine.
I always kept comments light. I've always considered clean jokes the best jokes. I hope they made you smile or laugh. I hope my inspirational stories in some way touched you emotionally with insight to sometimes know that there are others who bless and are blessed. I hope I put in comments for us all to ponder, whether opening the Bible or analyzing the statements of others who have the freedom within democracy free countries to express their thoughts and feelings.
Janilye was wise when she injected the following statements.
This is important to me: I quote: "So for those who feel the need to share a thought, an opinion, or even an interesting website which may have nothing to do with ancestry, or just want to get away from the endless search for a moment"....
"Since we have no chat room in here and we really don't want to "send you packing".
"Say it on this page.... Say what you like. Get it off your chest.
"Keep it short, Keep it civilized, Keep it clean"
If I may, I would like to carry forward the above brilliant statements.
I'm pleased that Janilye was so kind to save and transfer all previous comments to: Laugh, Smile, Cry or Ponder. That was a gracious thing to do. I hope mine, and other comments left you agreeing, disagreeing, Laughing, Smiling, Crying, Pondering, or Questioning. If I ever said anything at all in my comments to offend you. I apologize.
"Bless your hearts" Regards, 1bobbiylee or if you desire, call me Bob or Butch. Off Topic (1) was getting huge. Response time may have been slow. I never had any problems. Possibly others did. just wanted you to have the opportunity to go back and view.
If I am repeating myself. Sorry...
I will give my comments on this journal. "And, please contribute." Surely you have something to say that is interesting and enjoyable. The same high standards that Janilye originally applied will also apply within this journal, and your comments.
* Correction: I have discovered that Off Topic (1) and Off Topic (2) are again available on Janilye's
journal listing. Wonderful!! All journals are now available for viewing and comments. Thank you
"I Present America's Presidents"
I have observed recently an interest by some of our members in American history. Thank you. By being a member of Family Tree Circles, I to have learned some history about other countries. Primarily, Australia, New Zealand and England. There are others. Why shouldn't we from time to time, present a journal to introduce other members to our own individual countries?
Pick a subject that someone may not have thought about or know. It can be informative, happy, sad, or tragic. Most people know their own countries better than someone else's.
I was thinking about my country's Presidents. What was in their heart when they took the Oath of Office? By really listening and studying the words of a President's Inaugural Address has allowed me some insight as to how a U.S. President has governed or will govern.
My favorite President along with his Inaugural address was President Harry S Truman.
Read all the U.S. President's inaugural addresses..
"After reading President Truman's Inaugural Address, I want to jump up and shout, "God Bless America!" and to bless "any" country that seeks "Freedom" and "Democracy.
What is the relation between Bordroyne Waters -1761-1820. Resided in southern Spartanburg County SC. Possibly the towns of Cross Anchor, SC or Woodruff SC - and my GGG Granpa John Waters, b 1805, southern spartanburg County, SC?
"Looking for John Waters in Spartanburg County SC"
Searching for any information on John Waters, born around 1775. A dear woman, historian, and genealogist was able to find this information, but could not find any other on John, who would be my GGGGGranfather. I desire to find any information.
I am not familiar with all the genealogical sites. If someone could find anything that I have not been able to find, it would be sincerely appreciated.

"Points? Quality instead of Quanity"
Seems to me that a huge quanity of points could possibly turn into a personal ego trip.
Please let me encourage the knowledgeable, experienced, well qualified in research, the historians, the genealogists to continue their tremendous help in assisting me to locate my ancestors and descendants. These wonderful people know who they are. Their journals have opened many doors for members who need you. I believe I can truthfully say that FamilyTreeCircles need you.
A well written, factual research journal about certain family, person, or area has sparked a familiarity that has led to members finding their ancestors.
All of our members, and I mean all, should contribute in journals. You may think, "I don't know what to say." "Write what you are thinking." Some member may very well pick it up and help you.
Do you have a story to share with members about a personal family member. An Aunt, An Uncle, Granpa, Granma. Please, give us the story! It's not all about dates, countries, deeds, wills, birth or death certificates. Of course these are very important when researching for an ancestor. Give as much information as you can.
Write from your memories. Write from your heart. Make us laugh, or shed a tear. What is more enjoyable than a human interest story?
Can the points! Abolish them! The points are empty anyway.
Let us concentrate on quality instead of quanity.
"Ya Hoo - Ring the dinner bell!"
"In my short story, "Uncle Clyde, Please! Drive the boat" I described the nostalgic feeling I received when I viewed the white two story country store at Cross Springs, S.C. As noted in the journal, I had a delightful visit with a sweet lady. The store had been in her husband's family for four generations. A wide assortment of 19th century items were displayed for sale and purchased by many South Carolinians.
I came across the 19th century recipes below while surfing the internet.
I thought they might be a delightful addition to complement the 19th century era.
Listed are three 19th Century recipes.
Beat one egg and stir in 2 cups of cornmeal, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups milk. This is your batter. Drop spoonfuls of this batter on a well-greased pan, and fry until they are brown on both sides.
Serve them hot with butter, sugar, or honey. Yield: 10-12 cakes.
Cook a cup of wild rice in 2 1/2 cups of water, with a pinch of salt, for about 45 minutes on low heat. It will be ready when all the water is absorbed and the rice is soft. Stir in one cup of blue berries, and serve warm. Serves 4-6 people. (May add some sugar)
(You know, a little milk poured in may have the taste buds popping.)
Boil about 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups water in a covered pot, then add a cornstarch mixture (2 tablespoons cornstarch, with 4 tablespoons water) while stirring add two slightly beaten eggs. Finally add a tablespoon of chopped scallions.
Here are three recipes that are inexpensive and easy to prepare. Try something "Way Out." You may be surprised how good it tastes.
You folks way up in the north country may appreciate these stomach warming recipes. "Well", "I think just about anyone would."
Source: I discoverd these 19th century recipes on the internet.. Unfortuntely, I did not write down web site address.
"Uncle Clyde, Please! Drive the Boat!"
April showers bring spring flowers... I was driving leisurely southward toward Lake Greenwood, S.C. Ahead was a warm spring shower reaching downward in the distance. Soon we met, and soon we parted as the cascading rain trailed away from me. Quickly, a bright and beautiful rainbow formed to my right. The arch ended through a grove of green pines.
It was a pleasant spring day in South Carolina as I drove with contentment southward to visit my Uncle Clyde. Recently, he had leased a lake front home and acerage on picturesque Lake Greenwood in South Carolina. Three days previously, Uncle had invited me down to go fishing with him for a few days. He didn't have to ask twice. I returned an enthusiastic, Yes! Uncle Clyde chuckled. He knew that one of my passions was fishing.
I turned left onto S.C. state highway 39. I sniffed the air. What is that gentle erotic smell? It was defintely familiar. Then I saw the welcoming host. On both sides of the road were honeysuckle bushes with attractive yellow tubular flowers and small berries. I was entering the village of Cross Springs, S.C. The homes were aged and rustic. They seemed to be well taken care of. Most were painted white. The architecture was amazing. The gables, windows, columns, posts, and banisters were expertly carved. Such craftmanship.. I was in awe.
Soon, I was turning left across an old Southern Railroad track. I turned my head to the right and was welcomed by an amazing nostalgic sight. I felt my pulse race. I turned onto an unpaved parking space. Right in front of my eyes appeared a white 19th century two story country store. The building was lengthly and spacious. The wooden steps were crescent in design. As I opened the door, a bell rang above my head. A plumb, attractive, and friendly woman greeted me with a welcoming smile. Her eyes danced with merriment. I was a little dumbfounded as I gazed around the spacious store. I said to the sweet woman, "I feel as if I have traveled back in time." She smiled and nodded her head. I got the impression that she had heard that before from other travelers. She asked, "Would you like to hear a little history about our store?" I replied, "Yes, please."
"The store has been in my husband's family for four generations. His great granfather built it in the early eighteen eighties. Most people called him "Captain". He was an officer in the Confederacy. Captain was quite a businessman. Over a period of time, he had built a cotton gin behind the store. The railroad had a loading and unloading track. The farmer's cotton was ginned and shipped quickly to the market. Most people around here were farmers. Before motorized transportation, practically everything was stocked and sold here in the store." Consumer shopping was done in a single store. I asked, "What were the items that were stocked and sold long ago?"
She smiled. Again, I had the impression that she had heard this question asked many times before. "Well, In transportation, there were saddles, harness, mule and horse shoes, even an occasional buck board wagon. If the store did not stock it, it was ordered from the wholesaler. There were cast iron stoves, coffee, sugar, oatmeal, fruit and vegetables, dried beans. In dry goods there were bolts of cloth, pins and needles, thread, ribbon, silk, buttons, collars, suspenders, dungarees, hats and shoes. Some essential items were, rifles, pistols, ammunition, lanterns, lamps, rope, pots and pans, cooking utensils, dishes, farm supplies. And, Oh yes, a penny's worth of candy filled a bag." I smiled and thought, "Now that was an interesting and pleasureable trip back in time."
The country store was a social hub where neighbors met. Stories, jokes, and gossip was exchanged. What a joy it must have been for the men folk and women folk to happily greet one another. Sometimes, other than church meetings, It may be several weeks or longer before they drove their wagons into the small dusty village of Cross Springs.
Today, most of the "Old Country Stores" are gone. The ones that are left are stocked sparingly or turned into museums.
What events transpired to end the era of "The Old Country Store?" There were several reasons. First on the list was the introduction of RFD. (Rural Free Delivery) Also, RFD opened the door for mail order companies. In turn, these companies gave consumers merchandise catalogs. Rural and city folks made fewer trips to the country store. They ordered from the catalogs and had their mail delivered. Due to RFD, the government built more roads. The people traveled to larger towns and cities where they could shop at a greater number of merchants to buy and trade.
What a thrill. This dear store-keep lady has given me a history lesson and an enjoyable tour. It was time to leave. One of the modern conveniences was refrigeration. I bought two pounds of hoop cheese, cans of vienna sausage, saltine crackers, a large jar of dilled pickles, sodas, and two large cans of peaches. This food would make a delicious snack for Uncle and I.
To make sure I was headed in the right direction, I asked for directions to "Josh's Landing." Having learned earlier that my last name was Waters and that I was joining my Uncle at his lake home for some fishing, She exclaimed, "Oh, you are Mr. Waters' nephew." We are well acquainted with Mr. Waters'." She gave directions and said, "Good reports from our fishermen." The fish are biting real good."
As I drove into Uncle's drive, I saw him by his dock loading fishing gear into a boat. He heard me walking up, turned, and said, "Hello Butch." "I have been expecting you." "What you say we get some lunch." I said, "That sounds great. I have it right here for us." I began to spread our fishermens'lunch on the picnic table. We munched our lunch while enjoying the beautiful scenery on Lake Greenwood. We began to reminisce about past memories. Uncle Clyde had once owned a gasoline station, convenience store, and a clothing store combined. He had retired and leased this home on Lake Greenwood.
During my summer vacation months, I would work at Uncle's gasoline station. I enjoyed the company of Uncle Clyde. He was a good boss. I enjoyed the work and meeting our customers. I also enjoyed the pay. The year was 1959. I was fifteen years old. "Now, get a grip on this. "We were selling regular gasoline for 22-23 cents per gallon. We sold cans of oil for 15-25 cents per quart. Now friend, that would make you smile if you could fill up a sixteen gallon tank for $3.68." I pumped the gas, washed the windows, checked the oil and all fluid levels. I checked the air in the tires. During this summer month, oil companies were having a gas war with competing oil companies. Gasoline stations were in hot competition with each other up and down the Spartanburg S.C. highway. The gas prices were ridiculously low! My Uncle had someone construct and paint a large picture on plywood board. The painting was a huge red mushroom cloud bursting skyward. Below the plywood he had written with white paint, "Gasoline seventeen cents per gallon! At seventeen cents per gallon one could fill a sixteen gallon tank for $2.72! "Boom" We were at war!" You could travel from east coast to west coast and back for around $30-$35. I topped my tank off the other day. Ten gallons cost me $39.80! Some people cannot afford to travel on taxpayer paid highways to visit granma and granpa in other states. Enough! "I am grindng my teeth down." "while pumping gas at Uncle's station, I discovered I needed eyeglasses. When pumping gas near the pumps, I could see clearly. When on the other side of an automobile, I was squinting my eyes to read the numbers. When I got home, dad took me to have Dr. Baker, the optometrist, check my eyes. I was near sighted. As teenagers will do, some called me "four eyes." I got into more than one fight when some guy called me that. "I hated it!"
After lunch, I had gear to store in Uncle's boat. Uncle had already stored his. He used the 16' aluminum boat while his other boat was being repaired. We had a right smart of equipment. I should have noticed that Uncle had stored most of it in the stern. He had a fifteen horse power marine motor and battery that I would guess weighed 65-70 pounds. He said something that I would recollect with frightful memory. He said, "I have been doing some work on this boat, and I want to check it out when we are on the water." I really didn't think to much about this statement at the time. My Uncle took the drivers seat in the stern.
"Okay, Butch," That was my nickname. I was named after my dad's school mascot at Gardner Webb College, Boiling Springs, N.C. In dad's school annual was a photo of "Butch" on the first page. He was an English Bulldog. In the photo, his legs were slightly bent and wide apart. His chest was muscular and protruded outward. He had a sweater on with the name "Butch" emblazoned on the front. He wore a silly looking school beanie hat. His jaws were hanging low. He had this goofy stupid look on his face. It's as if he was saying, "I'm the big man on campus." Dad loved Butch's picture. "So, when I was just a small lad, I was nicknamed Butch. Most of my relatives picked it up. Uncle was ready. "Butch, push me off and then you jump in." I forgot to mention that Uncle could be overly zealous at times. This was one of those times. The bow was partially on land. A strong rope was attached to the bow. I gave a mighty push. Maybe to much of a push... The boat went quickly into the water. So quickly that I did not have time to jump in. My Uncle began screaming. "Help!! pull me in Butch, pull me in!" Too much equipment had been packed in the stern. Along with Uncle's weight and the weight of the motor, battery, and gear, water was coming over the stern. The boat was sinking! I grabbed the rope and began pulling with all my strength. My herculean effort created a small wake as the boat and Uncle Clyde, who was holding onto the sides with wide eyes and a terrified look came speedily onto shore. "Thanks Butch, I was sure the boat would sink along with all our equipment and the motor." From adrenaline and fright, I was bending over catching my breath, "Whew" That was close!
We motored to a special fishing spot. The fish were biting good. My Uncle Clyde was not only zealous at times, but he was frugal all the time. In other words, "He would squeeze the buffalo until it grunted." "Butch, go easy on those minnows. They cost five cents a piece." There were three dozen. 60 cents per dozen. "Uncle, next time, I will buy the minnows." Really! My Uncle enjoyed talking. No wonder the lady at the country store knew him so well. While she and Uncle talked, (I should say while Uncle talked) all she could do was smile and nod her head.
Uncle was primarily a self-educated man. He was very intelligent. He invented things. He had applied for patents on several of his ideas. There was a large work shop behind his house at Gaffney, S.C.
We caught a lot of fish. This evening they would be fileted and make their journey into hot oil. Golden brown along with the hush puppies. I fixed the slaw. Grated cabbage, Duke's mayonnaise, (Has to be Duke's)
chopped green pimento olives, some salt, and plenty of pepper. Remember, We had a lot of fish, so we tried not to waste.
We were zipping across the water with speed on our return trip to the dock. "Remember when I had mentioned that Uncle was overly zealous?" "Well, here is a perfect example." The boat was hitting the small waves and making a smacking sound as the bow pushed into the water. The boat would go up and then down. I was sitting on the middle seat holding firmly on the sides with both hands. My long auburn hair was blowing in the wind. We were going fast! Thank goodness I had already outgrown my freckles. If not, "I would have had them stretching backwards. All of a sudden, I felt a hand leaning against my shoulder. "Uh Oh! I hope this isn't who I think it is." As the driver of the boat, Uncle had left the pilot's seat. He was moving past me. "Boom, Slam." We were zooming and smashing into the water without a driver! "Uncle, I screamed in alarm. "Why arn't you driving the boat? We are in danger! What if we run into another boat or dock?!!" "Oh don't worry he says. "I made sure it was running straight before I came up here to check the motor's steering cable while we are running in a straight line. "Oh no." I remember now. He did say that he had been working on this boat. I stumbled quickly to the rear and began driving the boat. "Sit in the middle Uncle. Hold on and don't move."
We unloaded our gear, cleaned the fish, and fried them along with all the trimmings. They were delicious. Uncle looked at me sheepishly and said, "You know Butch, that was a stupid thing I did." I wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily. "Yes Uncle Clyde, that was a stupid thing you did." "Don't do it again." That wasn't the last time I went fishing with Uncle Clyde. He was my favorite Uncle. On this fishing trip, we bonded closer. Even though it was a frightful experience...
* This adventure happened in the spring of 1973.
The Red Eyed Demonic Rooster
This is a story about two families. Allow me to call them, "The Waters' Family" and "The Patterson Family." They are of different color. The Waters' family was white and the Patterson family was black. I grew up in a segregated South. Both blacks and whites were the victims of prejudiced and fearful legislators who passed discriminate state laws. A sad time in American history. However, there were many white and black families that did not allow the "Demon of Bitterness and Hatred" enter into their hearts. I'm white. My parent's did not permit their children to be cruel to those of different color. We were not taught hate. We were taught to speak decently to persons of white, black or any color.
My Dad had recently moved his family into a five room, clapboard, tin roof house. Before long, Mom had transformed it into a comfortable home. We became "Country Folks."
Dad had enrolled at a near by college. He was taking courses in biblical studies. We were told that he had taken a sabbatical from his full time insurance job. He worked part-time selling life insurance and part-time as a candy salesman. We three boys were happy and excited over his candy salesman job. Dad seemed to know when some of his candy was being sampled. "How did he know this?" Dad's seem to have a way of knowing these things. We three boys were usually involved and confessed when confronted with dad's stern countenance. He read from the Bible on the sin of stealing. Now, dear reader, What he had us do was difficult and laden with despair. We each had to cut our own switch for discipline. I was the stubborn one; therefore, several times I returned to the despicable bush for another switch until he was satisfied. Now what really made me feel the post sting of discipline was when I ran and slid under my bed. He knew exactly where to find me. He would get down and reach for me. I would slide to the other side of the bed. He would go around and reach for me again. I would slide to the opposite side. If I moved to the front of the bed, he would reach for me at the front. When I slid to the rear, he would try there. He was shouting at me and getting really angry. We could tell when he was really mad. His face would turn fire engine red. When he had finished reaching for me, the bed would be in the middle of the room. "Okay Robert," He would always call me Robert when he was really angry. "You have to come out sometime." I did. When disciplining me this time, he put the "peddle to the metal." By this time, my bed was in the middle of the room. I was real small, but I had to move that heavy metal bed back where it belonged.
Dad reasoned that the open spaces and fresh air (excluding the neighbor's pig pen when down wind) would be healthy for us all. Must be something to that. Mother mentioned that we were rarely ill. Excluding of course, scrapes, bruises, and bleeding toes. If we became sick Mom would bring out the castor oil. "Oh dear reader, that is the most vile tasting concoction on God's earth." It was awful. We tried real hard not to get sick. Mom never did run out of that stuff. She always seemed to have plenty. In late spring, summer, and early fall, we went without shoes. One of my Uncle's would say that the bottom of our feet was so tough, that if we stepped on a nail, It would bend.
Having a tin roof was blissful. My brothers and I would lie in bed listening to the rain or sleet pinging against the roof. "Nature's Lullaby." Sooooooo soothing. I can remember falling asleep peacefully listening to the rhythm of the falling rain. Should I awake, it was comforting to know that I wasn't alone. The rain was my companion.
Our little country home was comfortable. Mother's enemy was germs. She was always scrubbing something. We had the cleanest dirt yard around. Out in the country during the early fifties, very seldom did one see a green manicured lawn. Mom would get her broom and go to work. If there was anything on top that crawled or was sharp, it soon disappeard in a cloud of dust from Mom's swift broom.
We had a large vegetable garden. The favorite vegetables were corn, tomatoes, lima beans, green beans, spring onions, okra, squash, and hot peppers. Mom canned our vegetables in preparation for the winter
months. We had delicious vegetables year round. "Just the other day, I had the taste for a tomato sandwich. I purchased one medium sized tomato. Seventy one cents for one tomato! That's not counting the tax. Mom canned dozens of tasty tomatoes."
My brother's and I still chuckle over Dad's closed in battle with two "red boned" hound dogs. We were all visiting Mom's brother in Gaffney, S.C. Uncle had two hound dogs. These dogs were becoming a nuisance to him. They were continually escaping from their enclosures. He lived in town, So; It was important that something be done about the dogs. He asked my Dad if he would take the dogs to live with us in the country. Dad agreed. He figured they would be protection for my Mom when she was home alone. Dad loaded Toby and Red in the back seat of his car. He was driving slowly toward home. The huge "red boned" hounds suddenly began a fierce and savage fight in the back seat of Dad's car. They were snarling, snapping their teeth, and biting. Dad made a feeble effort to dislodge them. But, to no avail. He jumped out of the car, slammed the door, sat beside the road, and let the gladiators go at it. The ferocious fight was over. Each warrior returned to his corner in the back seat. They still growled and glared at each other. Thankfully, Dad and the dogs made it home safely. Toby and Red loved Mom. It may have had something to do with the gravy and biscuits Mom fed them. If Mom was home alone, they sensed it and stayed close. If a stranger came, they would position themselves between Mom and the stranger. They did not display aggression, but I would not want to be on the receiving end of their attack if some person or persons displayed a threat to Mom. She always felt safe when Toby and Red were around. They were bred to hunt and run. So naturally, they would chase animals. They began traveling farther and farther from home. Neighbors began complaining how they were destroying their crops. If a rabbit jumped and ran, they were quickly after it. They had to go. Dad returned them to Uncle Forrest. We missed them. Especially Mom, She loved those dogs.
Our home was on a ridge. On the next ridge lived the Patterson family. They had three sons, Odel, the oldest, Floyd, and then the youngest, "Little Joe." Joe was short. He got the name honestly. We three Waters' boys were close to the ages of the Patterson boys. Joe and I were about five years younger than our middle brothers; Needless to say, when they played or worked, we usually got left out. Little Joe and I would create our own fun games. We had acres of woods to roam about in. We walked softly on our barefeet. We had a game we called "The Squirrel's Game." Squirrels were very alert. If they heard you, they would scamper around to the other side of a tree. We wanted the squirrel facing both of us. We had a white sock which our Mom's were constantly washing. We put 2/3 bad apples in the sock, tied it securely at the top. We would throw the sock around the tree to where the squirrel was. He caught a glimpse of the white sock zipping by. In no time, he scooted around and was facing us. By using this trick, many a squirrel graced a farmer's table.
The Patteron boys were welcome at our home. Mom would fix a pan of hot biscuits and bring out a jar of black strap molasses. She would shoo us out into the yard. She didn't want sticky molasses on her table, floor, and porch. The kindness was reciprocated by Mrs. Patterson. She would bake a hot cake of cornbread in a large black iron skillet. We crunched our cornbread into bowls. Mrs. Patterson would pour spring chilled milk over this delicious treat. "Oh My, I can close my eyes and still smell and taste this scrumptious delicacy."
Two hundred yards above the Patterson farm was the huge farm of Mr. Tate. He had horses, pigs, chickens, mules, and probably other animals that I can't remember. He tended a large vegetable garden. There was corn, green beans, okra cantaloupe, watermelons and turnips. Turnips is a fall crop. It is not unusual to see frost on the tops of turnips. There were apples, plums, and pear trees. Those turnips got me and Little Joe in big trouble. We pulled Mr Tate's turnips without permission and ate them. Our elder brothers told on us. I knew what was in store for me. I was really worried. Dad was waiting on me and led me into his bedroom. He sat me down and gazed on me with sad, disappointing eyes. After what seemed like an eternity, he asked me. "Did you and Little Joe steal Mr. Tate's turnips?" The word steal and the way he said it sent shivers down my spine. He looked at me intently, waiting for an answer. I dropped my head sadly, and replied, "Yes." "You know Robert" - He always used Robert when he meant business. "I have to discipline you." Tears were cascading down my cheeks. I replied humbly, "Yes sir." He opened his Bible and began teaching me. He taught me how terrible was the sin of stealing. "Bobby, He was now calling me Bobby. "There are pit falls to those who practice stealing. Their life will be encumbered. I didn't know what encumbered meant, but it sure didn't sound good. I was guilty. He applied the discipline directly to the seat of my thin overalls. OUUCCHH!
Mr. Tate answerd the knock to his door. Mr Patterson introduced himself. Of course, Mr. Tate knew who he was. "Sir, Joe here has something he wants to confess." Little Joe lowered his head. Big tears were streaming down his face. Between sobs, he weeped the words, "Mr. Tate, I'm sorry I stole your turnips." Mr. Tate looked down and smiled. "Mr. Tate, Bobby has an apology to make." Mr. Tate looked down with a smile. "I'm sorry I stole your turnips Mr. Tate." "Boys, I have a big garden. If you want something, just ask."
My brothers still find delight in teasing me about the Patterson's "Red Eyed Demonic Rooster." Little Joe and I routinely visited each other. We were buddies. When I visited my little buddy, I was always on the look out for the "Red Eyed Demonic Rooster." I was afraid of the evil fowl. I was just a little boy. The crazy rooster knew I was afraid of him. Most of the time, I managed to avoid this red eyed beast. Not this time! He caught me unawares. His neck would stretch out. His cape of feathers bristled. His long strong wings began beating fiercely. His sharp spurs were on display as he danced backward and forward. He attacked! I ran screaming and hollering. The demented fowl was close behind and closing. "Help! Help!" I screamed. I was terrified! My skinny legs in my cut off overalls was churning up the dust. "Help! Help!" I screamed again and again. On the second trip around the Patterson home, Little Joe snatched up a hoe handle. We three were all running around the house. I'm in front screaming, the psycho rooster in the middle flapping his wings, and Little Joe gaining on the demonic rooster. This idiot rooster would not back off. He was running and jumping forward with those dagger spurs. Little Joe was in the back swinging the hoe handle. On our third trip around the house, Joe connected with the hoe handle. The crazed bird hit the ground and skidded to a stop. "Oh no! We had killed the Patterson's rooster!" Slowly, he regained his feet and wobbled away. All the fight was knocked out of him by Joe's hoe handle.
I cannot remember the psycho rooster ever attacking me again. I'm sure he didn't want to feel the sting of Little Joe's hoe handle.
* This adventure happened when I was about six years old.
"Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW - whose descent is traced from William Longfellow of Byfield Massachusetts, an English immigrant of the third quarter of the seventeenth century, was the son of Stephen and Zilpha (Wadsworth) Longfellow. He was born in a house still standing at the corner of Fore and Hancock streets, Portland, Maine, February 27, 1807. He was trained for college at the Portland Academy, and in 1821 entered Bowdoin College (founded but twenty years before), was graduated in 1825, and immediately received an invitation to teach the modern languages in his Alma Mater, with leave of absence for travel and study in Europe
Mr. Longfellow died March 24, 1882, leaving two sons and three daughters.
This is an excerpt from the first paragraph of Mr. Longfellow's Biographical sketch.

This institute has been on the news agenda of the constructive, nation-building local media what with its researched studies on the Internet as it affects S'poreans (not much it seems, local MSM still rules OK), the May general elections and the need to grow the population. Who is the Institute of Policy Studies and who are the people in icharge?
The Institute of Policy Studies was established in 1988 to promote a greater awareness of policy issues and good governance. Today, IPS is a think-tank within the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Until recently, it has always had a very low profile.
Core areas of research are "Arts, Culture, and Media; Demography and Family; Economics; Multiculturalism and Identities; Politics and Governance".
For many years, Professor Tommy Koh has been associated with the IPS. He was director from 1990 to February 1997 and from December 2000 to July 2004. He then became its chairman and is now its special adviser. I'm told his involvement is now very minimal.
The person now running the place is one Janadas Devan, an associate editor of the ST. He became director on 1 July 2011, replacing Ong Keng Yong who was then also an ambassador-at-large at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and who is now S'pore's ambassador to Malaysia. Yes, Janadas Devan is the eldest son of disgraced former president, Devan Nair.
A personal note: Shortly before the news of IPS becoming part of the LKY School became public (in 2007, I think), I had lunch with some people who were involved in the IPS because of the "Prof". One joke that was made, "How can a think-tank be independent in the LKY School, which in turn is part of NUS?".

This, of course, is not an exhaustive list....only the first 29 things that came to my mind. (Click on the blue links to get a better idea of whom I am talking about....)
29. She and I always have a great time when we are together, and it doesn't matter what we are doing. From grocery shopping to shopping on Michigan Ave., we always have fun.
28. She is a great listener when I need an ear.
27. She rarely misses an activity that my boys are involved in.
26. She showers my boys on Friday night so that I don't have to.
25. She also cleans my stove every Friday night...so I don't have to!
24. She takes me to Sam's Club (ugh) whenever I ask her to--even when she doesn't have a reason to go herself.
23. She writes down the funny things my children say when she is with them and I am not so that she can tell me about it when I come home--to make sure I don't miss out on the funnies.
22. She always encouraging when I am going through a difficult time.
21. She is willing to drop whatever she is doing and help me when I need her--even if it's at the most inconvenient time for her or she had something else already planned.
20. She dances in the car to her favorite songs--and doesn't care who sees her. She has never taken dance lessons.....
19. She is an extremely hard worker.
18. She taught me how to really clean a house (she's the cleanest person I know).
17. She loves the movie BeetleJuice, and the songs from it. I just think that's funny. *giggle*
16. She loves QVC. And now, of course, I do, too.
15. She gives up (and has for the last 4 1/2 years) every single Friday night to come here to my house and spend the evening with her grandsons....and relieve this very thankful mommy so I can spend a few precious hours alone with my hubby.
14. She stops at Family Video and rents the boys' favorite movies before coming out for Date Night, or picks up little 'treats' for them here and there. They love to find out 'what Grandma has brought them' when she comes over.
13. She actually plays and interacts with my children when she is in charge of them. She doesn't keep them out of duty, but out of desire, and it shows. Bike rides, walks to the park, games in the yard, books, sometimes even trips to the ice cream stand. They have quality time. I love that.
12. She is the most unselfish person I know.
11. She and I laugh a lot whenever we are together.
10. She is always bringing me candy or goodies whenever she sees me--gummy bears was the latest treat.
9. She and I have similar tastes in clothing...and I get all the stuff she doesn't want anymore! I just inherited 2 Old Navy T's and a Nike T the other day, as a matter of fact.
8. She's pretty. *grin*
7. She forgets something every time she leaves my house....to the point that I now make the rounds before she leaves to make sure she has collected all of her belongings.
6. She loves me more than life itself, and never hesitates to show it.
5. I'm pretty sure that she loves my boys even more than that.
4. She loves makeup and health and beauty products more than anyone I know and has tried every brand of makeup under the sun--at least one thing in every line! I would say that probably her favorite store on this earth is Sephora. We can (and have) spend hours in there together!
3. As much as she likes beauty products, she is not that big of a fan of Bath and Body works. Huh!? (It's okay, I forgive her for that one. I love that store enough for the both of us!)
2. She's a giver. She will give you her last piece of candy, her only drink of water, or the shirt off her back (metaphorically, of course) if you needed it. And that's the honest truth.
1. She's just a wonderful person to know....let alone to get the privilege of growing up with and now being friends with.
**Love you Mom, and thanks for everything you do for me and 'the boys' on a daily basis.**

Police from two towns are searching for the man shown in this photograph. The man's truck was fully engulfed shortly before 6 p.m. when Daily News photographer Lisa Cassidy took this photo in a Bose parking lot on California Avenue. Right after this photo was taken, the unidentified man fled the scene and police are still looking for him. If you have information, contact Framingham Police at 508-872-1212 or Southborough Police at 508-485-2121.
An unidentified man pulled his flaming pickup truck into a California Avenue parking lot, got out and decided to run away without calling 911, leading police on a manhunt.
The ponytailed man had a blue Patriots hat and blue shirt and gripped a cell phone in each hand as he exited his burning red truck in the parking lot of a Bose Customer Service building a little after 5 p.m. today.
The was approached by a representative of Bose before he fled toward Rte. 9. Bose workers declined comment.
As of 7 p.m., police were searching for the man and could not say why he had run off. "It's a strange one," said Police Lt. Paul Shastany.
Firefighters at the parking lot said they did not want to speculate on the cause of the fire.
By the time fire personnel responded, the pickup was fully engulfed.
After dragging hoses through the manicured lawn and a small flower bed to hook up to a nearby fire hydrant, firefighters doused the pickup for about 10 minutes.
They then struck the hood of the truck with an axe.
A handful of Bose employees gathered across the street to gawk at the fire. Police did not close California Avenue to traffic.
The fire totaled the truck, melting away the tires, charring the exterior body of the vehicle, and turning the dashboard into a steaming mash of useless electronics.
