I am looking for the parents of Michael J. Kearns born in Missouri in January of 1851 and died in 1928. He married Margaret (also spelled Margerette) in 1878. His parents were from Ireland. Thanks!
I went looking through census records for more details. It seems Michael and Margaret were married in IA, lived in Dover, Pocahontas Co, IA in 1880 and 1900 and had several children there. They moved sometime between 1900 and 1910 to Lime Lake, Murray Co, MN.
This family in the 1870 census in Prairie Spring, Jackson Co, IA looks like a possible match for Michael's family:
KERNS, Patrick age 54 b. Ireland
Catherine age 39 b. Ireland
Michael age 19 b. MO
Mary age 17 b. IA
John age 15 b. IA
Julia age 13 b. IA
Margerett age 10 b. IA
Catherine age 7 b. IA
Bridgett age 5 b. IA
Eliza age 4 b. IA
Roseanna age 2 b. IA
In 1880 and 1900 this family is in Cedar, Pocahontas Co, IA. In the 1900 census Patrick's year of immigration is 1847, Catherine's is 1848 and they were married in 1849. They had 11 children, 7 of whom were still living.
In the 1850 census for St. Louis, MO, there's a Patrick KEARNS, age 36 (transcribed as 26, but I think that's wrong), Catherine, age 20, Thomas CLARK, age 25 and Andrew SMITH, age 23, all born Ireland, living in the same household. Since the 1850 does not list relationship to head of household, we don't know if Thomas and Andrew were relatives or just boarders.
Their findagrave pages:
hi all you Kearns out there.. need info on family , Daniel and Julia arrived here in the 1890 and settled in Texas Maryland
now I have most of the family history but what I need to find out is about 3 of the children twin girls and the last of the family born If any one can help out that would be great Need info on Christain Teresa Veronica and Vctoria Elizabeth born 1901 and christined and thats all I know and Agnus 1907 and nothing more so I am at a loss hope somone can help Bob Kearns

Was in the veggie garden from 11am to 6.30pm with drink breaks. Now I'm aching.
Watched Morecombe and Wise, haven't laughed so much at the TV for ages.
I'm aching all over. Been in the veggie garden from 11am to 6.30pm with the odd drink break. Weeded and dug out the spinach beet that seeded itself so that OH could finish the rotavating. Dug and added a barrow load of home made compost and 2 sacks of bought compost where the runner beans will go.
Raked and put down weed supressing fabric, apart from where onions, broad beans and peas are as had already done that. The wind didn't help!
Then cleared half the jungle on the right, about 3m x 10m which hasn't been cultivated for a few years. There are metal posts and wires which supported raspberries years ago, so I dug along that bit and added 2 sacks of compost, will grow tomatoes there.
The whole veg garden is quite big, 25m x 10m with the GH and 3 cold frames in the middle.
What make is yours, Chicky?
Start spraying with Rose Clear as soon as possible, even before leaves are out properly. Make sure the roses are fed and watered enough as a healthy plant is more resistant. When the spring is wet the black spot is usually worse. Clear up dead leaves and burn them, or bag them and put them in the rubbish (not for re-cycling).
Morning all.
I liked videos too, so easy to use. We have a hard disc thing that records hours and hours of programmes but it's so complicated and if you put it on "pause" it only stays there a couple of minutes then stops so you have to start from the beginning and the fast forward isn't very fast. Have a DVD player in the bedroom but it only does 2 hours at a time.
Lovely day today. Going to veggie garden this morning.
Good morning Marion. We have sunshine too - at last. I'll be busy in the veggie garden today. OH is going to finish rotovating it.
You are amazing having an Open Day. Hope for me yet! I'm 63 and having my first charity Open Day on 17th May for children with cancer in the new French Open Gardens Scheme.
I hope you have a lovely day on Saturday.
If I haven't got around to the manure in autumn then I sprinkle the rose food around before adding manure. I have 2 beds with bark and I just chuck the fertiliser on, it would take ages to move the bark away from each shrub and plant. Then I hope the rain will wash it in.
Perfection, David, and gorgeous hellebores from Matt.
Thanks for the reminder Hostafan, must sow the courgettes and sweetcorn!
Was lovely and sunny today so when lunch guests left I went and edged the end bed, but needed widening as OH has trouble getting the tractor mower round the corner. So took up a couple of feet of lawn. Soil was horrible pale clay. Dug in barrow load of manure and a sack of compost. Then had to move the Tiarellas as they were no longer edging the corner of the bed. Now I have a nice gap for another plant, probably a Geum Borisii which is in the cold frame.

Finally - my BEA recap in words and pictures! What a mob, what a crowd, what a show!
Posted on Thursday, May 26, 2016 in Events | Permalink

| Digg This
Bit late to the party with my BEA recap this year, but I had a lot to think about. So just think of this post as the online equivalent of the relieved sigh that came from each seat on the shuttle bus as it was claimed by a footsore, shoulder-sore convention-goer at the end of the day. Ahhhhh....
School Library Journal's DAY OF DIALOG
This annual one-day feast of author panels and publisher pitches was so full of talent and intelligence, and went off with so few hitches, and in such a nice, spacious space that organizer Luann Toth has taken to calling it "Day of Sheer Delight." She deserves to - it was delightful!
I sat right down in the center of the second row with my friend Paula - having a like-minded partner at these things is an unacknowledged must. You really need someone to trade significant glances with when a speaker says something amazing or a publisher pitches a book that sounds... um, not amazing. Or else you find yourself standing on the side leaning against a wall, making reaction faces that apparently EVERYONE can interpret. Not that that's happened to me.
Richard Peck spoke. National Treasure Richard Peck, I should say. Japan has these Living National Treasures and I really think the U.S. should follow suit. Who should it be? Richard Peck, Lois Ehlert, Rita Williams-Garcia, Chris Hemsworth. What? Why not Chris Hemsworth! Shut up.
Ok AMONG the interesting things Richard Peck said: "Most of who we are is determined in those first five years - when schools fail, families fail first." NB: Peck is a former teacher. He quoted Twain, as well he might: "Humor is anger that went to finishing school." He talked about his themes: "My books are always about a boy looking for a role model. The best role models are dead and the worst are a year ahead of you in school."
And he held up a poster for his book and said, "This is my idea of a PowerPoint." Living. National. Treasure.
During the nonfiction picture book panel, Candace Fleming and Eric Rohman, husband and wife creators of Giant Squid, described fitting his art and her words together to form kind of a piecemeal picture of a creature about which little is known. Leafing through the book, it's like how we meet the alien in Alien - we see streaming tentacles, a close-up of an eye, every image like a startling flash photo from a camera trap.
Great quotes from that panel:
Mara Rockliffe: "I believe in a usable past - I pick stories to tell not just because they happened but stories that can teach us something. I want boys and girls to know there have always been adventurous women."
Candy Fleming: "I'm a storyteller, not a fact-teller. I wanted a picture book that had some musicality, that would work being read aloud."
And I can't remember who said "Nonfiction picture books can never meet nonfiction standards, because we don't have sources for every moment. If Darwin walks down the street and leans against a lamppost - we are never going to have documentation of every step he takes and every lamppost he leans on."
Julia Kuo: "On the other hand, because of this, you can draw everything the author had to edit out."
Eric Rohman: "Picture books are a collaborative artwork - like opera."
The middle grade panel was intriguingly titled, "Truth be told: Big questions in middle grade fiction and what adults keep from children." It's kind of amusing that this panel was nominally about questions, because moderator Betsy Bird got the chance to ask exactly ONE: - her panel of Kelly Barnhill, Adam Gidwitz, Jenni Holm, Jason Reynolds, and Raina Telgemeier picked up that question and RAN RAN RAN. This was a 100% all-star panel - all of these guys write books that are not only popular but, ugh sorry I'm going to have to resort to fancy critic vocabulary - good. Like, DARN good.
Kelly Barnhill: "As far as your book is concerned, memory and imagination are the same."
Raina: "What you feel is always true regardless of whether it's historically accurate."
Kelly: "We've been telling stories since before we could talk. We invented language to tell stories more efficiently. Story seeks to blend the experience of the teller and the listener." Speaking of efficient - that last sentence is the best functional definition of a successful reading experience I've ever seen that was less than book-length.
Jason Reynolds: There will always be a commonality if the writer is authentic - pain, family, etc. You may not be pursued by knights like Adam's characters or live in Brooklyn like mine but a kid is a kid and if your kids react correctly then you can make a connection. (this is a big paraphrase - Jason is an incredible speaker with unerring word choice, and I wasn't writing fast enough to get it right)
Oh and may I just interrupt myself to say - yes of course I read Ghosts right off the bat and yes it is just as good as you hoped it was going to be. Raina stated during the panel discussion that she was a little worried about this foray into out-and-out fiction, but the story is marvelous, the characters are totally real, and the art - the art surpasses everything she has done to this point. With every book you can see Raina drawing a few more landscapes, adding a few more panels with scenic backgrounds and plants in the foreground, and this book, set on the Northern California coast, has some magnificent drawings of the cliffs and the bay, and the kind of semi-kooky bungalows and plant life you find in that part of the country. Plus, it is so much about endings and transitions and making your peace with change and... I have to admit I got kind of emotional there toward the end.
Laini Taylor was the after-lunch keynote speaker, and if Richard Peck is a hero author we all had grown up with, Laini is like our carpool/coffee shop/Twitter sisterwife. In discussing her new book Strange the Dreamer, she spoke about genres and how much she loves them and how she likes it when two of her favorites get together and have mutant babies.
She quoted herself from the New York Times Book Review (girl, there is no shame in that - if I ever get published in the New York Times Book Review, I am going to quote that shit every chance I get): something about how plot conventions and the uses of genre are so popular because they satisfy "cravings that have been satisfied by myth since the dawn of time - cravings like heroism, true love, villainy." She said, "This accounts for the passion of genre readers - their reading becomes part of their identity." And she made up a word that we all immediately took to heart: "readers find things in [genre fiction] - the satisfaction of the desire to be special. We have a myth-hole that wants to be filled."
"Myth-hole," she giggled. "That sounds so wrong." SO WRONG IT'S RIGHT, ya pink-haired Fluevog-wearing intergalactic fairy warrior mom! Laini Taylor is just the best.
How am I doing? Still on the first day, I see. Sigh. Every year I think I'm going to recap BEA in one post, but then I get going and...
Panel III was a bunch of YA fantasy authors - all women, as it turned out. They were asked if they'd ever felt any pressure or expectations in the way that female characters were portrayed, and the answers were very nuanced. I've asked this question - notably of male authors - and gotten kind of a harrumph answer: 'I don't let market demand push me around;' 'I must stay true to the character;' all that stuff. Which, sure, that's true. But it's also true what Roshani Chokshi said: "Female readers can be extraordinarily critical of female characters - because we identify and care about them so strongly." They all talked about how they're sick of the word "strong," saying, "We don't all have to be Katniss."
I think I'm kind of in love with Roshani Chokshi - when asked about explicit romantic behavior in their books, she said, "I wanted to write more kissing scenes, but I was living at home with my parents. My dad would walk in the room where I was working and be like, 'What are you writing?' and I'd be like 'DAAAAD!'"
And then there was the last panel, which was so chock full of talent I literally was unable to take notes. Kate Beaton was on it, y'all. Kate Beaton has written a book about how babies do not GAF, and she described some of her observations of babies. "You'll be in this coffee shop and there's all this stuff going on, people are having conversations and what not, and the baby is just oblivious. The baby is just trying to get its foot in its mouth." She talked about her sister's baby's first Christmas, "My mom is like, 'do you think he has any idea about the birth of Our Lord?' and I'm like, 'Mom I think he's just discovered his toes.'"
There were other people on the panel. Lots of them. Like, Erin Stead. Jerry Pinkney - Living National Treasure Jerry Pinkney and you can look that up, he won two lifetime achievement awards this year alone. But I have to be honest. KATE BEATON.
After a final round of applause, it was into the signing room! TWENTY-FOUR artists and authors were seated behind tables signing free copies of their newest books to attendees. WHY is Day of Dialog worth the price of admission? IN ADDITION to getting to hear some of the top brains in the business talk about their work? It's because you get to meet the creators face to face and walk away with - literally - as many books as you can carry. Cue ecstatic sigh.

I am on a significant roll with my YA and adult reading lately. When's the last time you could say that? When's the last time every book you picked up knocked you on your butt and made you holler on Facebook or DM the author or, in once case because I don't have any access to the author - yell at the author's agent about how good the book was? I mean, who knows agents?
Apparently, I do.
Each and every one of these books deserves a thoughtful in-depth review. And I expect we will see those reviews in the New York Times or Kirkus or the Guardian or somewhere else that hasn't yet employed me to write book reviews. From me, you're just gonna get a list and a couple paragraphs. Pollen. Makes me stupid. So here you go (in ascending order by audience):

I know it's hard to write a picture book manuscript. Some of my favorite people do it, and it seems like a labor of love, with the emphasis on the labor. The very economy of the form means that every phrase, sometimes every word will be examined and held up to the light and chipped at like a tiny gem. Page breaks are a factor. Pace. There's space in a picture book - literally - page real estate, that lets you insert beats and pauses. It's probably more like writing music than it is like writing a book.
But I gotta admit, it's the art that wins me over. I'm so shallow. I think that working on a picture book is probably a uniquely satisfying experience for an artist, especially an artist who specializes in illustration. It's really the only context I can think of in which an illustrator gets to run their own narrative. Their images can reinforce the text or, by opposing it, add perspective or reveal the narrator's blind spots.
When you've got, say Patrick McDonnell interpreting a Sherri Duskey Rinker script, as in Silly Wonderful You, you'll get deadpan sight gags to accompany the already amusing text. Yuyi Morales might take some of Sherman Alexie's narrator's dialog in Thunder Boy Jr. and put it in speech bubbles coming from other characters, making the story seem to be told by the whole family. (That's a really cool choice for that book BTW, gives it kind of a mythic oral-history feel.) An article in Publishers Weekly tells the story of that book's creation, and weirdly, the two creators pretty much say exactly what I wrote in the first two paragraphs of this post.
I love pencil lines like the beautiful clean gestural ones of Viviane Schwarz and Ross Collins and Julia Sarcone-Roach. I love goofy energy and tiny dots for eyes that are somehow magically expressive!
In short, I just love picture book art. Here are some recent standouts.

You hear a lot, in some circles, about how difficult it is to teach children about values in the face of persuasive and abundant media depictions of violence, licentiousness and other bad crap, including sexual violence and predatory behavior toward women that is often dressed up as romance. I'm looking at you, Edward the vampire. What was that character's last name? Crap, now I have to go check.
Aaaand I fell down a Renesmee rabbit hole. BOY is that character a mess. Talk about a plot Band-Aid, jeez. Need to tie something up? Get Renesmee to do that thought-projection thing and everybody's all up to speed.
The Twilight books and movies are indeed remarkable in the number and variety of bad relationship behaviors that they romanticize. Endangering oneself to get attention? Bella. Stalking? Edward. Treating a potential romantic partner as an attainment? Heyyyy werewolf and vampire, I see you guys dick-jousting over there.
I use this image to illustrate some of the less-popular traits of adolescence in our Something Wicked This Way Comes of Age presentation. In that talk, we discuss how the popularity of horror fiction among teens makes perfect sense given the evolutionary imperatives that drive their neurological and emotional development. The whole MUST MATE thing, mostly.
Must mate - and confused as hell about it. Which is why it's so frustrating when movies and TV aimed at them furnish so very many examples of What Not To Do With, To, or Around the Object of Your Affection; How Not To Refer to Your Guy or Lady; What Not to Ask Them To Do; etc and obviously I could go on all day. But good moments in media exist too. I was inspired to run a few of them down because... well because we took the kids to see Deadpool this weekend. We're bad, we know.

In her author's note, E. K. Johnston admits straight out that she wrote this book while very, very angry. I bet she did. This is a fucking great novel.Exit, Pursued by a Bear is about a teenage rape survivor. Hermione, a popular athlete - co-captain of her cheerleading team - is drugged, raped, and left half-submerged in a lake. She cannot remember the crime or identify her attacker. She is angry, hurt, and sad, but she and her team and her family tackle each step of her recovery process with courage, love, and determination. And there you have the bare bones of your standard-issue Problem Novel, during the course of which we will watch our heroine struggle bravely to regain her confidence, conquer her self-doubt, and perhaps find love. Excuse me while I never ever read a book like that again. Maybe, because Emily Johnston has written this book, I never have to.Because Hermione does NOT struggle with self-doubt. She is quite clear that the only person to blame here is the guy who attacked her, and if she even momentarily loses her clarity on that score, her best friend Polly is burning with fury at her side, ready to remind her. Nor does Hermione have to deal with parental shellshock or smothering. Hermione's team rallies around her - even the boys try to act normal, with mostly pathetic results (ehh, boys). When she slaps her ex-boyfriend, whose stance is that "she'd have been safe if she'd been dancing with me," her therapist is eager to hear how hard. And when Hermione stops in to see the pastor to ask him to stop reminding the congregation to remember her in their prayers - she does not WANT to be Hermione the Rape Victim and who can blame her - the pastor looks her in the eye with compassion but not pity.
Everyone holds their breath when she has to endure examinations, pregnancy tests, and a termination procedure, but they never once utter the word "options" - which Hermione notices with gratitude.
Exit, Pursued by a Bear is a freaking casebook of How to Think and Do when dealing with a victim of sexual assault.And in the hands of a lesser writer, this might result in tedium or sanctimony. It might at least be distracting. I think we've all seen movies like that - cancer movies especially perhaps. Debra Winger spewing love and forgiveness from her hospital bed in Terms of Endearment, Susan Sarandon nobly handing over the reins to Julia Roberts in Stepmom.
But bless her, E.K. Johnston (author of The Story of Owen, which is my sons' hands-down favorite book of all time right now, and in my own top ten) is NOT a lesser writer. I read this book in three hours, propelled onward by characters I loved and who loved each other. It is marketed as a cross between Veronica Mars and A Winter's Tale, but honestly I saw more Jessica Jones in it than Mars - Hermione faces her trauma with some of Jessica's belligerence (but none of her bourbon), and the friendship between Hermione and Polly is just as rock-solid as Jessica's relationship with Trish. Remember, at the end of the series, the big climax is Jessica telling her best friend that she loves her? Same thing here. "I love you." "I know."I imagine that Emily Johnston wrote this book after seeing yet another young rape victim publicly blamed for the crime perpetrated against her. I imagine that she sat down, all gritted teeth and flared nostrils and hair on fire, and wrote this book for all those girls, to show them that SOMEBODY knows the right way to treat them, to talk to them and about them. And if that's what we need, if we, as parents, faculty, friends, cops, teammates need a template for how to respond in a situation we hope no woman ever has to endure, well, now we have it. Lucky for us it's a compulsive, easy read, because I'm hoping it gets assigned in about a million advisories, homerooms, and health classes.
Look for this stellar work of realistic fiction in March, 2016.

Cheap shot? Maybe. But it's hard to resist a good cheap shot. Here's the story:
I was in the auditorium for the live announcement of the American Library Association Youth Media Awards this Monday morning. A huge crowd - HUGE - had assembled to hear the big news in person, to hug each other when our favorites win or to engage in wild speculative gossip about WHAT that committee could POSSIBLY have been thinking when they chose THAT book. It's so fun. My favorite part is when the number of honor titles for an award is announced, and you hear a ripple of excited murmurs roll through the room - and then an immediate collective giggle at what geeks we all are.
This year, the Geisel Award for "the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year" was awarded to David Adler and Sam Ricks for their book Don't Throw It to Mo!. There is a (slightly erroneous) perception that this beginning reader award has more or less belonged to Mo Willems ever since he started writing his Elephant & Piggie books - so when this title was announced, I leaned over to Andria Amaral sitting next to me and whispered, "That's so funny! They didn't throw the Geisel to Mo!" As I straightened up, we could hear the whole auditorium making the same connection - pockets of muted laughter stirring through the audience. God I love librarians.
I ran into Jon Scieszka a little later. He said he couldn't wait to tease Mo about it. "And he'll pretend he has no idea what I'm talking about."
Cheap shot or no, "Don't throw it to Mo" works pretty well to sum up a slate of awards that went to some unexpected choices. For example, as Todd Krueger pointed out, Don't Throw It To Mo is a series book, and not the first in a series, which is unusual for Geisel choices. Many award committees did great work surveying the whole field, and not just the frontrunners. Let's have a look at some highlights, in order by how they were announced on Monday:

Opened my email this morning to find an unusual year-end list from Kirkus: the Most Overlooked Books of 2015. I like that. That list made me think.
Usually this time of year I have no time for thinking. Even as the holiday BS is winding down, I'm usually busy reading hard and arguing loudly as a judge in the Cybils Awards. The Cybils are publicly nominated, with the finalists and winner agreed upon by a panel of judges. Finalists are announced January 1st, and the winners are announced on Valentine's Day - put it in your calendar. I'm not a judge this year though, so I get to sit back and spectate and read all the lists.
Because in addition to the Cybils, state lists and year-end best lists are proliferating like glitter under a craft table, all leading up to the big announcements of the Newbery/Caldecott/Printz/etc awards at the ALA Midwinter meeting January 11 (8am, in case you want to tune in for the live feed). The Nerdy Book Club awards have just been announced, and I love the Nerdies. Rather than a WINNER and a list of runners-up, the Nerdies publish lists of 10-30 books. Books are nominated via the website, a committee decides the finalists, and then the finalists are publicly voted upon. I love the thoughtful ways that the Nerdies, the Cybils, and some state lists (including the Maryland Black Eyed Susan, which I am on this year) try to ensure balance between the opinions of professional and general readers.
To be perfectly frank, however, I do not like awards. Too much of a democrat, I guess. I do not feel that books compete against each other, and I firmly believe that almost every book has its audience, even deeply flawed books. HOWEVER, it is impossible not to be conscious of the fact that, of all the consequences of a book getting an award, the largest one by far is the award's effect on the book's sales - general sales for sure, but school library sales in particular.
Purchasing for a school library is hard. I loved doing it when I did it, but I do not miss all the blood that ended up on the floor when I had to pare my lists down. And I am fortunate that I never had to justify my purchase decisions like so many librarians do. Awards, stars, and reviews in major publications are in some systems a requirement in order for a school librarian to purchase a title for his or her kids. And to that may I just say UGH.
Because, hard as award committees all work to consider all books, some great books, especially slightly off-kilter books - still manage to fly under the radar. Fun fact: not one of Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales has won a major Youth Media Award or Honor. And let me tell you - Nate's books are far from off-kilter. Every one of Nate's informative and entertaining nonfiction graphic novels should be in every school library in the nation.
So, I were still buying for a school library, I'd start with the Cybils finalists and the Nerdy winners - not only are those lists longer than the National Book Award finalists and the ALA Award Honorees, but I find them to be more focused on kid appeal. Then I'd compare my working list to this spreadsheet compiled by EarlyWord, which aggregates the Year's Best lists published by Amazon, Booklist, Entertainment Weekly (which is - perhaps surprisingly - a reliable source of good critical reviews), Hornbook, HuffPo, WaPo, NYT, SLJ, WSJ (eff you Megan Cox Gurdon), Library Reads, Publishers Weekly, the National Book Awards, and TIME magazine, who should either get better staff on this or just quit it.
But I would still be missing some great stuff, and that's where this Kirkus Overlooked Books list comes in. It's not long enough though, covering as it does titles for all ages (including Scarlett Undercover, a debut novel that I started but put down for some reason, and am picking up again on their recommendation). So I've taken a nostalgic scroll through my 2015 Goodreads shelves and here for you are my own picks for Best Overlooked Books of 2015:

It's not just me, is it? Faced with the task of buying one or more THINGS per family member or dear friend - determining what that THING shall be, finding it, pricing it, procuring, storing, sometimes hiding it, then processing it via gift wrap and tags - doesn't everyone get a little Doblery? After all, he gives her his heart - something he had to neither shop for nor wrap. She gave him a pen.
But, for better or for worse, we're giving gifts. And you know what will make you feel a little better about participating in this annual collective shuffling of goods bought sold and processed? If those goods are actually, you know, GOOD. Like books.
Read on, babies!

Say you've got a 14-year-old reader. A boy who is has started to welcome a sliver of romance into his postapocalyptic action novels, a girl who is beginning to find the Wings of Fire novels a little simplistic. Maybe you've got a formerly enthusiastic reader who is suddenly uncommunicative, a good student who is newly plagued by self-doubt, a pair of lovebirds who spend half their homework time texting each other emojis. I am trying - unsuccessfully - not to say 'ugh' to that last one. I mean, there's no harm in texting adorable tongue-stuck-out poofy pandabear hearts to your dear one, but GOD. On behalf of your future self, can I just ask you to knock that shit off? to exhibit some self-respect..?
Maybe just take a break and read a book instead? You might learn something about the way you're acting. Some kids like realistic fiction at this stage - they want examples of how other kids have tried to be cool in the face of first love, they are looking for language they can pilfer when talking back to their parents. That's helpful stuff. But there are also books that examine the darker urges of adolescence, that blow them up and play them out to pitiless extremes.
Jack Gantos's The Trouble in Me is an account of some bad decisions the author made during junior high school in Florida. And When We Were Animals by Joshua Gaylord is a sort of magic-realist novel about adolescence in a small town. Both books treat coming of age as a sacred and terrifying process, marked by blood and fire, perilous but inevitable.

10 May 2016
Welcome to the Gettysburg Review Online.
The Summer 2016 edition is out and, if you don't subscribe, available for purchase right here in our online Shop in both print and digital formats (PDF, Kindle, E-Pub), so no excuses.
Before offering up my summary of the new issue, I'd like to take a moment to introduce our new managing editor, Jess Bryant, who comes to us by way of Eastern Washington University, from which she will soon earn her MFA, and where she was the managing editor at Willow Springs Editions for the past two years. We are happy, and very relieved, to have her join the Gettysburg Review staff. Please send her your congratulations and make her feel welcome.
So, as I said, the Summer 2016 issue has arrived, and like many of our previous issues, it's a mixed bag thematically. On a general level, I'd say that the work we've selected for this edition demonstrates a preoccupation with what binds us to and divides from one another—whether strangers or loved ones—but also ourselves. Attention too is paid to the arduousness of creating and maintaining connections, something that featured-artist Gary Ruddell beautifully, hauntingly conveys in several of his paintings, though in none so visibly as The Reach, which graces this issue's cover.
Our authors' individual slants on this admittedly expansive area of concern are, of course, diverse. Victoria Lancelotta, Z'Anne Covell, Kent Nelson, and to some extent Anne Ray all explore in their short stories the hazards of romance. Questionable amorous decisions abound in "You Are Here," Lancelotta's near cautionary tale of a very young and ill-equipped couple's eager efforts to begin their adult lives, and they continue to mount in Covell's short story "Forever, No?," whose hero has an affair with a married man, gets caught, acknowledges her badness, but continues, unrepentantly, to cheat, because love, as a wise person once said, makes fools of us all…or is it "codependency"? Anne Ray sends her protagonist, a damaged and rudderless twenty-something, on a quest of sorts; she and her roommate head from Sante Fe to a party in Austin, Texas, but are diverted by a stranger who leads them on a tense, disquieting adventure. Kent Nelson's "Where Is He Now?" shows a strong, independent woman looking back on a romantic opportunity missed, but doing so without succumbing to weepy nostalgia.
Rebecca McClanahan, Kathi Hansen, and Leslie Pietrzyk all illustrate the dissolution of familial connections in their work. McClanahan's two short essays offer quick glimpses of the devastation Alzheimer's disease wreaks on her relationship with her mother as that affliction erodes and erases her mother's memories. Set in 1980's Chicago, in an exclusive dressing room at the downtown Marshall Fields, the narrator of Pietrzyk's fiction "Give the Lady What She Wants" finds herself awkwardly ensnared in the troubled lives of her college roommate's affluent Chicago family, triggering a moral dilemma of her own, and an unsettling epiphany about herself. Kathi Hansen's story, "Strong Enough to Carry Him," portrays the household that two complete strangers build from one's impulsive act of kindness, as well as that household's sad, shocking , but eccentrically touching conclusion.
Framing the prose, poet Matthew Minicucci ponders "the distance between two people" as he analyzes, with faux scientific objectivity, the nature of an apparently defunct romantic relationship, while Shara McCallum, in "Madwoman Apocrypha," performs a harrowing and unflinching self-interrogation, fathoming and revealing how she became the she who she is...or thinks she is. Christopher Kempf, John Bargowski, and Kevin Stein all take note of the state of their relationships to their fathers, while Valerie Bandura measures the fierceness and the alarming limits of the bond with her son. Julia Spicher Kasdorf, echoing Muriel Rukeyser, offers an assessment of the strained bonds between a place and its citizens in her stark poem about the depredations of fracking here in the keystone state.
The relationship to place is also a concern for Bonnie Costello, Liza Cochran, and Susan McCallum-Smith. Costello takes us on a walk through Putnam Station, New York—a town in which she spent a portion of her youth--noting its history as well as her and her family's connection to it and its people. McCallum-Smith explores how place, specifically the one called "home," has both limited and freed her writerly self-exploration, and Cochran ponders the impact that a place that values hunting—in this instance deer hunting—has on her ethos as she and her husband undertake a slightly off-the-grid existence in the wilds of Vermont.
I hope this brief jaunt through some of what the Summer 2016 issue has to offer has piqued your interest. For a deeper and fuller appreciation, you'll have to pick up a copy and take a look. After you do, drop me a note, and tell me what you think.
Until next time,

World Briefing | Europe: Azerbaijan: Tensions Rise With Iran
By Doug Frantz (NYT)
Published: August 21, 2001
Security forces arrested six Muslim clergymen accused of spying for Iran in the latest incident of rising tensions between the Caucasus nation and its neighbor. The six are Azerbaijani citizens, Turan news agency reported. Tensions between Iran and Azerbaijan have been simmering since an Iranian warship threatened an Azerbaijani oil research vessel in a disputed section of the Caspian Sea last month.

Company: Legend Video

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Couples will enjoy the "forest primeval" theme.
Adriane Gold hasn't lost the touch for finding interesting settings in which to set her sex scenes. This entire tape takes place deep in a forest with a nearby stream and wading pools, and everybody fucks either in the water or on the rocks. In addition, it's all captured beautifully by a trio of videographers including Gold... but sad to say, there's just nothing special about the sex.
Oh, everybody tries hard, and the results are quite watchable - particularly "cave-people" Lita Chase, whose hands are held behind her as Jake Ryder sidles up in horsie position, and Renee LaRue's long cowgirl ride on Devin Wolf - but as a whole, the sex lacks the edginess for which Gold has quickly made a reputation in XXX.

Tip of the Day
Fulham manager Roy Hodgson has performed a minor miracle in taking Fulham from the brink of Premier League relegation to a major European final in the space of two years.
In tonight's Europa League final, Mr. In tonight's Europa League final, Mr. Hodgson's side faces Atlético Madrid, the 6/5 favorite to win the match in 90 minutes with Boylesports. Fulham is a best-priced 14/5 with Betdaq. side faces Atlético Madrid, the 6/5 favorite to win the match in 90 minutes with Boylesports. Fulham is a best-priced 14/5 with Betdaq.
Atlético, like Fulham, hasn't had the best of seasons domestically—the Spanish side is currently ninth in La Liga with just one game to play—but has looked strong throughout this competition.
Diego Forlán was outstanding in both legs of the semifinal against Liverpool and scored the extra-time away goal at Anfield that carried his side through to tonight's match in Hamburg. The Argentinian is a decent bet to score at any time tomorrow, at 6/4 with Paddy Power.
As for the result, it looks certain to be tight. Quique Sánchez Flores's team is stronger, but since a remarkable comeback from a 3-1 first leg deficit against European giants Juventus in the round of 16, Fulham has look destined for Europa success.
A penalty shootout could be on the cards, but back Fulham outright at 7/5 with Blue Square or 888sport. Bodog offers 15/8 for chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed to hoist the trophy aloft on the field during the ensuing celebrations.

Seattle (8-3-2) was awarded the kick after defender Jay DeMerit fouled Cam Weaver in the penalty area.
Vancouver (4-2-5) took a 2-1 lead in the 66th minute when midfielder Gershon Koffie scored his first goal of the season on an error by goalkeeper Stefan Frei. In an effort to keep the ball in play, Frei ventured way out of his net and booted a clearing attempt up the middle instead of safely up the sideline. Koffie pounced on the ball and scored into the vacated goal.
Seattle's Chad Barrett opened the scoring in the 36th minute, and Erik Hurtado tied it in the 39th.

Ultimately, this is up to you as the developer. Normally, I would suggest that for a new package you put sufficient detail for someone to understand what it does, much like an abstract.
For updates, I favour having a simple bullet list of 'new' or 'fixed' items, but this depends on whether you have a small change or a major one. For very small changes, I tend not to announce at all.

This is the exact recipe that a Greek co-worker gave to me. She would bring this to office functions and it was a favourite with everyone. It is so delicious and so easy! I usually leave the yogurt out and just increase the sour cream and reduce the olive oil to 2 tbsp. I like to serve it with crunchy bread sticks and crackers. Thx for posting.
This is sooooo delicious!! We used it with Recipe Baroness' Gyros Burgers #223847 and it was marvelous. I could not stop tearing off pieces of pita and dipping it into this wonderful stuff. Thanks Dari Donovan for a great recipe that we'll use again and again. :)

Unanswered: How to get values from database??
I am just exploring the sencha world.I am creating my first app using sencha. Can someone point me as to how i can get the data from the database using php and json. Ive got a code which i will write down.
function showRecent() { Ext.Ajax.request({ url: 'server.php?action=get', success: function(e) { var obj = Ext.util.JSON.decode(e.responseText); var guests = obj.guests; if (guests) { var html = tpl.applyTemplate(guests); Ext.getCmp('recentTab').update(html); } } }); }Code:
if (isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == "get") { $sql = "SELECT * FROM messages"; $guests = array(); foreach ($dbh->query($sql) as $row) { $guests[] = array( 'id' => $row['id'], 'name' => $row['name'], 'email' => $row['email'], 'url' => $row['url'], 'message' => $row['message'], 'date' => $row['date_entry'] ); } echo json_encode(array('success' => true, 'guests' => $guests)); }
I am not able to get individual date from the array. Its always saying undefined.
Also can i declare a global variable and use it throughout the project?
I am creating a login page and using that information which i get from login, i need to fill up contents in the app. So i would need the id throughout. Or is it possible to send the value from one panel to another.
Roy M J
21 Nov 2011 1:22 AM #2
as a first step: think about which framework you are using:
Sencha Touch 1
Ext JS 3
Ext JS 4
for example! then please use the matching forum(s) to ask questions there.
21 Nov 2011 1:24 AM #3
do you have a success property set, like success:true inside of your JSON?
if yes, post your json-serverresponse.
21 Nov 2011 1:30 AM #4
Thanks for replying..
Sorry I am using secha touch 2.
And yes i am setting success as true. But in the js file im not sure how to get values from the array.
echo json_encode(array('success' => true, 'guests' => $guests));
function showRecent() { Ext.Ajax.request({ url: 'server.php?action=get', success: function(e) { var obj = Ext.util.JSON.decode(e.responseText); var guests = obj.guests; if (guests) { var html = tpl.applyTemplate(guests); Ext.getCmp('recentTab').update(html); } } }); }
21 Nov 2011 1:34 AM #5
What i would like to know is how i can get the individual values from variable guests. Till now i could not figure out how to get the values.
Another thing is once i get the value will it be possible to declare it as a global variable so that i can use that value throughout the app?. Or is it good for me to use php session variablesfor this purpose.
21 Nov 2011 1:55 AM #6
what do you get when logging the response, like:
success: function(response) { console.log(response.responseText); }
in general, after taking a closer look at your usecase.
when you want to get an array of guests from your server,
a single ajax call is not the best way to go.
did you take a look at:
with using a store you can easily access your data, sort, filter, modify etc. it.
21 Nov 2011 2:11 AM #7
Yes i got the complete list of data from the database.
The problem is i'm new to this and bit hesitant into jumping inside everything as i may loose track of the flow easily. I am in the process of creating a simple login and i just want to store one id in a variable throughout the app. So should i go for store or should i go for normal variable declaration?
I am in the process of learning sencha and im loving it to core. But please bear my questions as my knowledge is limited at this time.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. --- Auburn University at Montgomery cheerleading coaches Joel Hughes and Amanda Brasington are seeking interested individuals for the 2013-14 Co-Ed Warhawks' Cheerleading squad.
The process will begin with three open gym opportunities, where potential cheerleaders will have a chance to mix and mingle with current squad members to learn what is expected during tryouts. The open gym is for potential cheerleaders to stunt and tumble with each other before the actual tryout. Proof of insurance and a signed AUM Athletic waiver is required to participate.
The dates of the open gym are scheduled for March 6, March 27 and April 17, all Wednesday evenings. The open gym will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. each night in the AUM Gymnasium. The date of the official tryout will be announced shortly.
Information about the tryout can be accessed by clicking here. The required waiver is available HERE.

PACE Vermont Inc. set to close this springStaff report | January 11,2013A program that helps seniors in two Vermont regions maintain their independence will close this spring.
PACE Vermont Inc., which provides nursing, nutritional, home and transportation services to more than 100 seniors in Rutland and Colchester, announced Friday that it could no longer afford to operate in Vermont.
While the program has proved successful in other states during the last three decades, the program failed financially in Vermont where difficulties attracting new clients hurt the organization's attempts to offset expenses, according to a company statement.
The pending closing will require roughly 130 seniors to find other service providers such as visiting nursing organizations and will leave about 85 PACE Vermont employees without jobs.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Study: FEMA Trailers Unhealthy for Katrina Survivors
A new study suggests that long-term living in mobile homes supplied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) threatens the physical and mental health of many survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
Dr. Lynn Lawry of the International Medical Corps, the lead author of the study, talks with Madeleine Brand about the findings.

North County Interfaith Council Inc
550 West Washington Avenue
Escondido, CA - 92025
550 West Washington Avenue
Escondido, CA - 92025
Important note: Services provided at transitional housing facilities varies by location. Some transitional housing assists with substance abuse treatment, psychological assistance, job training while others only provide limited assistance. Please review the details of each transitional facility to make sure you obtain the correct information.
North County Interfaith Council Inc., doing business as Interfaith Community Services, is a non-profit organization which partners with more than 350 diverse faith centers in North San Diego County. Interfaith was formed in 1979 by a small group of North County Faith Communities to address the growing problems of poverty and homelessness. Because the poor have multiple needs and because accessibility to community services was a problem, Interfaith began addressing those needs within its own service delivery system and through collaborating with other agencies. Interfaith's services began at the most basic level
with an emergency food program. A pantry was established using donated food distributed by volunteers. But hunger does not exist in isolation. It is always linked to other human conditions: homelessness,under
or non-employment, inadequate parenting skills, physical, emotional and mental illness, illiteracy, lack of education and social skills, unawareness of available resources, and most of all, hopelessness, loss of human dignity and spiritual crisis. One of the key strengths of Interfaith is that it has developed an effective community model approach that propels individuals in need to their highest level of self-sufficiency and optimum health. Interfaith's Faith Center members contribute donations of money, materials, in-kind services, and volunteers, thereby offering an impressive array of services. Interfaith Coommunity Services has grown from a small food pantry staffed by volunteers to a seamless continuum of care, which is operated by 90+ paid employees, a Board of 20+ community activists, more than 3,000 volunteers in direct service, and a membership of more than 350 Faith Comunities. Interfaith has become a national model for faith community involvement in addressing problems of the poor and the needy. All of Interfaith's programs are designed to help people help themselves, to offer a hand up, not a handout. A well-designed continuum of care provides an effective array of services that move people from poverty and despair to self-reliance and hope.

Uh huh. Yep. Right.
That match was downright tedious to watch after the first fifteen minutes. It's a good thing she's so hot -- it staved off the boredom.
Why does Charles get away with these horny posts by waxing poetic, I don't think that there is anything revelatory about lusting over Russian women.
chaz doesnt get away with it because people like me and poe call him on it, time and again.
Yeah but that's what he's getting off on, Bellevue Ave. Though you already know this.
A.) He's not getting off on that picture. Because:
B.) Her forehead is lame and her belly is covered. And:
C.) Mudede is never horny when he's on shrooms.
That, or he's bored and tired of hunting bears for spleens.
haha. this is great. better than peter bodo at tennis.com. please keep them coming.
Lots of words just for an excuse to show a pic of her.
Just sayin.
The way that dress wraps around her cooch is quite wonderful.
Somebody had to say it.
Her cootch (I always like the "t") does look nice, but I'm still not sure about crystal doo-dads for tennis. Crystals are for EVENING and FOR THE STAGE. You could argue that it is an evening match, and yes, she is in some ways performing on a stage, but there's a disconnect. Tennis dresses are not evening dresses. They never have been and they never will be and to try and change them is wrong.
Personally, I prefer snooch, as in "I'd like to get close to your snooch and give it a good snooch pounding"
In this context, snoochski would also be acceptable.
pretty sure it should be more like 'moya' [MOI-YA]. and yes, said devotchka [dyev-uush-ka]is super fine.
What about the beauty of the Russian body, Charles? Mmmm.

Most Helpful
Love the pesto dressing, didn't add any milk. The salad was good as well, nice combo.
Hard to believe I'm the first to review this undiscovered gem! This was a great tasting salad that was so easy to put together and looked impressive on the plate. I made the dressing several hours in advance and refrigerated until serving time. For the ingredients with choices listed, I used sour cream in the dressing, and mozza cheese, ham, salami and green pepper in the salad. Left out the onion.

I hope liverpool loses by miles apart but the reality is they will draw and that s*cks 1-1
Fulham 0-1 Liverpool Highlights
Liverpool moved top of the Premier League and kept their title hopes alive with an injury-time winner at Fulham.
The Reds, above Manchester United by two points but having played two games more, struck very late after hitting the woodwork four times in the match.
Andrea Dossena hit the bar twice – each time with a header, Xabi Alonso volleyed against the bar and Fernando Torres dragged a shot against the post.
But on 92 minutes, Yossi Benayoun drove in from 12 yards to snatch victory.

Houma Police look for shooter
HOUMA -- Houma Police are looking for a man accused of shooting another man in the leg Friday on Naquin Street.
The victim, whose name is being withheld by police for safety reasons while the investigation continues, told authorities that he got into a verbal confrontation with an unknown man on Naquin Street near Main Street in downtown Houma.
The suspect pulled out a gun, shot the victim in the leg and fled the area in an unknown vehicle, police said.
The victim was taken to Terrebonne General Medical Center, but his condition is unknown, police spokesman Lt. Todd Duplantis said.
The investigation is still ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call Houma Police at 873-6371.
Girlfriend sought in assault
HOUMA -- Houma Police are searching for a woman who is accused of swinging a 12-inch knife at her boyfriend during a fight Saturday.
Police responded to a call regarding a disturbance at 206 Naquin St. in Houma. At the scene, a 41-year-old man told police that his girlfriend, 42-year-old, Lydia Van Buren, had threatened him with the knife.
The victim was not injured during the confrontation, but his shirt was cut, police said.
Van Buren left before officers arrived, and they are asking anyone with information regarding where she might be to call police at 873-6317.
Man accused of hitting girlfriend
HOUMA -- A Houma man is charged with aggravated battery after his girlfriend accused him of hitting her with his belt, police said.
Police were called to the 1200 block of East Street in east Houma Friday morning after a 21-year-old woman reported that her boyfriend, 26-year-old Josh D. Fitch, hit her several times with a metal belt on the hip and left arm.
Officers arrested Fitch after finding him hiding in the closet. He was taken to the Terrebonne Parish jail but has since been released on bond. The amount was not immediately available.

Friday evening at New York Comic Con, DC Comics announced superstar writer Geoff Johns is relaunching the classic series, âAdventure Comicsâ with rising star artist Francis Manapul.
Originally published from 1935 to 1983, âAdventure Comicsâ ran for 503 issues, making it the fifth-longest running DC series behind âAction Comics,â âDetective Comics,â âBatmanâ and âSuperman.â
Last week, DC released âAdventure Comicsâ #0 with a cover price of $1. The issue was a reprint of the classic âAdventure Comicsâ #247, which featured the first appearance of the Legion of Super-Heroes and Superboyâs first encounter with the team from the 30th century.
Johns and Manapul contributed an âOmens and Originsâ backup tale, which, in retrospect, should have been a good indicator that this news was coming...not to mention a clue as to just who might be the mystery lead character of the new ongoing series.
CBR News caught up with Johns from the "super-crazy" floor at the Javits Centre to discuss âAdventure Comics.â
CBR News: Is âAdventure Comicsâ a title youâve been working towards for some time? Looking at the teaser cover for #1, thereâs obviously a through line from what youâve been doing in âAction Comics,â âJustice Society of Americaâ and âLegion of Three Worlds.â
Geoff Johns: Iâve been working on this since back on âSuperman and the Legion of Super-Heroesâ [his critically acclaimed âAction Comicsâ arc].
Why is this project being released as âAdventure Comicsâ and not a âLegion of Super-Heroesâ book?
I think it will be quite clear when the comic comes out, and we announce more about it, and when some more of the âLegion of Three Worldâ issues come out. But thereâs a reason itâs called âAdventure Comics." If youâve seen the cover, thereâs still some details weâre not revealing about it.
Brainiac, Lex Luthor and Bizarro are three villains weâve seen you explore in âAction Comics.â
Really, itâs a culmination of what Iâve been doing with Superman for the last couple of years. Itâs all spilling over to this book. Also, with me leaving âJustice Society of America,â Starman is coming with me to âAdventure Comics.â
What do you love about Starman that made you bring him along for the ride?
I love working with him. I loved our take on him in âJustice Society of America,â and as all these plans come to fruition, Starmanâs story will become a lot clearer. Thereâs a little bit of a through line to all of this stuff. I just love the quirkiness of Starman. And the tragedy behind Starman. Heâs also going to play a role in âLegion of Three Worldsâ #4.
Can you tease what weâre going to see in the series? Thereâs going to be a lead character in the main story and some back up stories too, right.
I canât really get into yet, but it does have a lead character and it will have more. Itâs called âAdventure Comicsâ because it has a variety of different stories. But yes, there will be a lead character to it all.
Is it always fun launching a new series?
Itâs fun. Hopefully weâll deliver a comic people like. And people are excited about. And when we talk more about it and get closer to that date, it will become really clear why we are doing this book. Itâs an important book for me personally. And itâs something Iâve wanted to do for a long, long time. So Iâm really, really excited about it.
Can you quickly talk about Francis and what he brings to the book?
Heâs amazing. Heâs the best of Tim Sale and Adam Kubert put together. If you saw the stuff he did on âAdventure Comicsâ #0, itâs just stunning.

I have a very small lab network with three boxes: a modern x86-based RHEL3 box, an x86-based RHEL5 box, and a 1998-vintage SPARC Ultra5 with Solaris 8. I can use ssh -X to run a program on the RHEL5 box and view the windows on the RHEL3 box. I believe this uses xauth and magic cookies?? I have followed the X-Windows HOWTO to set up xauth on the Solaris box, but so far no dice. I would like to be able to use the X-windows server on the RHEL3 box with a client program on the Solaris box (program running on Solaris host, windows appearing at Linux host). Is there a trick to this, or have I made a mistake following the instructions for setting up xauth and magic cookie?
There are two options: xauth + magic cookies, where you set the DISPLAY variable to the host you want to see the gui on:
from client-machine ssh to server-machine,
On the other hand, a much better and easier solution is using the -X option for ssh. This sets up an automatic tunnel for forwarding the X connection. You'll see your DISPLAY variable has already been set upon ssh to the localhost with a high display number: usually around 10.
However, you must enable X forwarding. As I recall, it is disabled by default on solaris. Go into your sshd_config and ensure you have it enabled.
P.S. You may find it useful to know that while the solaris ssh client only uses -X, the standard linux client also has -Y for trusted connections. This means that for some applications, only -Y will work (I've had issues with Java GUIs)
