Rochester, New York, Summer 1998
by Richard O. Reisem, from research by Jean Czerkas, Anne Kingston, and Eric Logan. Photographs by Frank A. Gillespie.
This summer marks two women's rights conventions in western New York 150 years ago. The first was held July 19 and 20, 1848 in Seneca Falls and the second, two weeks later, in Rochester. These events were the organized beginning of the movement for equal rights of women in American society. These conventions were also the first such efforts in the world to demand equal rights for women.
It is difficult to fathom now, but at that time, women could not vote, could not hold public office, could not own property, could not attend colleges and universities, and suffered many other injustices that truly made them second-class citizens. The 19th amendment that gave women the right to vote was not added to the U.S. Constitution until 1920, which was 72 years after women launched their battle for equality. But then, consider that women in France, Italy, and Japan had to wait until after the second World War in order to be able to vote.
Many people buried in Mount Hope Cemetery are closely related to the women's movement. A few of the historic ones are described here.
As you face the Anthony family plot in Section C, the burials are as follows: Front row, left to right: Susan B. Anthony, Mary Anthony (her sister), Madge (her niece), Daniel Anthony (her father), and Lucy Read Anthony (her mother). Second row, left to right: Ann Eliza McLean (her niece), Thomas King McLean (her nephew), Anthony McLean (her nephew), Guelma Anthony McLean (her sister), and Aaron McLean (her brother-in-law).
Susan B. Anthony was the most influential leader of the 19th-century women' s movement. She moved to Rochester with her family in 1845. An outspoken advocate of the temperance, abolition, and women's rights movements, she was arrested for voting in the 1872 presidential election. Susan B. Anthony proposed the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Known as the Anthony amendment, it gave voting rights to women and was finally adopted in 1920.
Mary Anthony, sister of Susan B., took care of their mother and the home on Madison Street in Rochester while Susan traveled and lectured around the country. Mary was a school teacher and served as principal of an elementary school located a few blocks from their home. She died less than a year after Susan's death.
Madge, niece of Susan B., was the daughter of Susan's brother, Daniel R. Anthony and his wife Annie. Madge died of brain congestion as an infant.
Daniel Anthony, father of Susan B., was a Quaker who owned a successful textile mill in Massachusetts before financial reversals forced the family to move to a farm in Gates. His liberal views on temperance, anti-slavery, and women's rights had an immense influence on his children. He died from heart disease on his farm at the age of 69.
Lucy Read Anthony, mother of Susan B., gave birth to eight children, but only six survived. She died at age 87.
Guelma Anthony McLean, sister of Susan B., was the first-born of the Anthony children.
Aaron McLean, brother-in-law of Susan B., was an insurance broker. He and his family lived with the Anthonys on Madison Street.
Thomas King McLean, nephew of Susan B., was a university student when he died of typhoid fever. He was an accomplished pianist and singer and delighted his family with his music.
Ann Eliza McLean, niece of Susan B., died of dysentery at the age of 23.
Susan B. Anthony's brothers, Daniel R. Anthony and J. Merrit Anthony, are buried in Kansas.

Sarah Dolley was the second woman in the United States to receive a Doctor of Medicine degree. She graduated from Central Medical College, Rochester, New York in 1851. She married her surgery professor, Dr. Lester Dolley, and practiced medicine here for over 50 years.
Working with Clara Barton, she organized the Rochester chapter of the Red Cross. She founded an organization of women physicians and an intellectual women's club, as well as the Women's Education and Industrial Union, which established evening and summer schools, sewing and manual training classes in public schools, and the first public playgrounds in the country.
Frederick Douglass was the father of the civil rights movement. A leading abolitionist and celebrated human rights leader, he was born a slave in Maryland in 1818. He secretly learned to read and write when it was against the law for slaves to do so. After escaping to a tenuous freedom in 1838 to New York City and on to Massachusetts, he joined the abolition movement. He lent his powerful oratory and passionate calls for justice to the women's suffrage movement. He spoke at the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848 and was the only man to speak there. Douglass said, "When I ran away from slavery, it was for myself. When I advocated emancipation, it was for my people. But when I stood up for the rights of women, self was out of the question, and I found a little nobility in the act. Right is of no sex. Truth is of no color."
Douglass published his own autobiography in 1845 and founded his own abolitionist weekly newspaper, The North Star, in 1847. During the Civil War, he counseled President Abraham Lincoln on racial issues, and urged blacks, including his sons, to join the Union army.
Douglass' triumphs were many: influential abolitionist, women's rights activist, author, publisher, fluent speaker in many languages, and United States minister to Haiti. He died in Washington, D.C. in 1895 shortly after speaking at a women's rights rally. He is buried in Section T.

RHODA (died 1873) AND ELIAS DEGARMO (died 1876)
When Daniel and Lucy Anthony moved to Rochester in 1845, the DeGarmos became their next-door neighbors and good friends. They were Quakers who supported the temperance, anti-slavery, and women's rights movements. Their home was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
Rhoda DeGarmo was an active member of the Western New York AntiSlavery Society and also served as a dedicated women's rights advocate for over 30 years. She was a member of the arrangements committee for the second women's rights convention held in Rochester in 1848. At her and Amy Post's insistence, a woman, Abigail Bush, presided over the convention. A man had presided at the first convention in Seneca Falls two weeks earlier.
Rhoda DeGarmo died in 1873, a year after voting illegally in the 1872 presidential election along with Susan B. Anthony and others. She is buried in Range 2.
SARAH D. (died 1868) AND BENJAMIN FISH (1797-1882)
Sarah D. and Benjamin Fish and their daughters Catharine Fish Stebbins and Mary Fish Curtis are among Rochester's most prominent early anti-slavery advocates. As a stop on the Underground Railroad, the parents' home was a haven for fugitive slaves.
Sarah and Catharine, active in the temperance and women's rights movements, participated in the first convention in Seneca Falls in 1848 and were signers of the Declaration of Sentiments. Sarah then became a planner of the convention held in Rochester two weeks later.
Sarah and Benjamin Fish and their daughter Catharine are buried in Section M. Mary Fish Curtis is buried in Section C.
Myron Holley's life was guided by reformist ideals. At age 24, he was practicing law in Canandaigua, New York when the court assigned him a murder defendant whom he believed to be guilty. Since defending this person was against his beliefs, Holley left his law career and soon became a prominent bookseller.
In 1804, Myron Holley married Sally House. They had six sons and six daughters. In 1810, he was elected Ontario county clerk. In 1816, he was elected to the New York State assembly to support the construction of the Erie Canal. He became supervisor of its construction and spent eight years traveling its length, sharing hardships with the workers. During his tenure, Holley took on roles that others disdained. He cared for the needs of Irish malaria victims in Montezuma swamp and buried a black cholera victim. From his primitive office on horseback, he oversaw the canal's progress, paid the contractors, and was held responsible for the canal's finances. In what later proved to be just a case of sloppy bookkeeping, $20,000 was found missing from the millions of dollars he handled, and he was accused of embezzling the funds. Even though an audit cleared his name, the scandal ruined his public career.
Holley helped found the Liberty Party, one of the first abolitionist and equal rights groups to run candidates for public office.
Holley is remembered for his interest in and regard for people of all walks of life. As a well educated man, he moved in the political and social circles of influential people, championed equal rights for women, and also served the needs of the less fortunate. He is buried in Section G.
Well known on the lecture circuit for her opposition to slavery and her commitment to the rights and educational needs of freed men and women, Sallie Holley was often described as a large-hearted woman with a brilliant, cultured mind. As the ninth of twelve children born to Myron and Sally House Holley, she was influenced by her father's strong anti-slavery principles and religious liberalism.
At Oberlin College, she met Caroline Putnam who became a life-long companion. After graduation in 1851, Sallie gained appointment as an agent to the American Anti-Slavery Society. In this capacity, she traveled extensively, lecturing three or four times a week in different towns and cities.
Sallie always professed a fear of lecturing and yet drew large crowds due to the sincerity of her appeals. The role of a traveling woman lecturer carried a stigma which, combined with the hardship of travel, often made life uncertain. Yet, she wrote, "How much happier and richer my life has been than I ever expected it would be."
In 1870, Sallie moved to Lottsburg, Virginia to join Caroline Putnam's efforts at founding and running a school for freed men and women. Sallie spent the last 20 years of her life at Holley School, which was ostracized by the surrounding rural white community.
While she admired many in the feminist cause and attended several women's rights conventions during the 1850s, it was her own activism, speaking out and working to challenge injustice, that also exemplified and bolstered the cause of women's rights.
On a visit to New York City, Sallie contracted pneumonia and died. She is buried in Section G beside her father.
The Rev. Thomas James was one of Rochester's leading African-Americans. A life-long worker in the African Methodist Episcopal Church, he was a principal founder of Rochester's AME Zion Church in the 1820s.
He was an organizer of the first anti-slavery society in Rochester and published the periodical, The Rights of Man. His missionary work for the church eventually took him to New Bedford, Massachusetts where he pastored in the church where Frederick Douglass was a member. James provided Douglass his first opportunity to speak before a white audience so that he could relate his story. While in Massachusetts, James challenged the practice of segregated passenger trains and won a court case abolishing the custom.
During the Civil War, James, an ex-slave himself, assisted Union authorities in liberating hundreds of slaves from prisons and slave pens in Louisville, Kentucky. He eventually returned to his church in Rochester, where he retired. James is buried in Range 1.
Susan and Samuel Porter were active in temperance and anti-slavery causes in Rochester. Samuel was the first president of the Western New York Anti-Slavery Society when it was formed here in 1842. The Porter home was also an important stop on the Underground Railroad. Samuel assisted Frederick Douglass in moving fugitive slaves from homes where they were hiding to a place below the lower falls of the Genesee River, where boats carried the slaves to freedom in Canada.
Susan Farley Porter was involved in community activities such as the Female Charitable Society, the Female Anti-Slavery Society, and the Rochester Ladies Anti-Slavery Society, of which she was president. She was a founder of the Home for Friendless and Virtuous Females and a leading organizer of the Rochester Orphan Asylum Association.
The Porters, like other reformers, had a vision of a better future for underprivileged people in the society, and exhibited the courage to face public apathy and often unfavorable opinion to improve human welfare.
The Porters are buried in Section G.
Amy and Isaac Post were two of the leading participants in the abolitionist movement in Rochester, and active members of the Western New York Anti-Slavery Society. They were credited with assisting the largest number of slaves to escape to freedom in Canada. Amy recalled, "One time we had as many as twelve weary runaways that we hid in the barn."
The Posts met Frederick Douglass in 1842 and maintained a close friendship that continued to the end of their lives. Amy Post was one of Douglass' closest friends.
Amy Post, although a mother of five children, was also a very active proponent of women's rights. She became a member of the National Women's Suffrage Association when it was formed by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
She attended the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848 and signed the Declaration of Sentiments. When the second convention was held in Rochester two weeks later, she was on the arrangements committee.
Women's rights were most dear to Amy's heart and a cause she served for over 40 years. When she died in 1889, her friend Frederick Douglass said, "Few better than I know the excellence of her character, the kindness of her heart, the strength and firmness of her convictions, the serenity of her spirit, the evenness of her temper, and the breadth and fullness of her benevolence. Her life was ours, and her religion, God's."
The Posts are buried in Range 2.
Judge Henry Selden, highly respected in the community and in New York State, was Susan B. Anthony's defense attorney when she stood trial in Canandaigua, New York for voting in the presidential election of 1872 at a time when women were denied that right.
Selden served as lieutenant governor of the state in 1857. He also served as a judge on New York State's highest court, the Court of Appeals. He was a member of the New York State legislature beginning in 1865. He retired in 1879 having devoted more than half a century to the practice of law, often to correct injustice in our society.
He is buried in Section C.
Eastern bluebirds, which approached extinction in the days of lethal pesticides, are returning, and at least one family has taken up residence in the birdhouses that the Friends and the Vets 2B 4-H Club erected last year.
"They're acting just like they're supposed to," said Jim Ochterski from Cornell Cooperative Extension, who is supervising the program. "They perch on the lower tombstones and study the mowed lawn area for insects, hopping to the ground when they spot food," he said. The bluebirds also perch on top of their 4-H constructed house, the mate showing his bright blue wings and back and reddish breast. The female is grayer, but still a pretty sight.
Naturally, we are all ecstatic. Our weekly monitoring with eviction of sparrows has paid off.
Besides bluebirds, we also have chickadees and house wrens in residence, both of which are desirable songbirds.
The Friends have a 25-minute slide/ tape program that describes Mount Hope Cemetery in an informative and entertaining way. Many organized groups in the Rochester area have seen and enjoyed the show, which is usually presented by either Elinor or Bill Klein. To reduce their workload a bit as more presentation requests are received, we are looking for volunteers to assist them. We have special, easy-to-use equipment to project the show, and the Kleins will provide training.
As a volunteer presenter, you would set up and introduce the program and answer questions when the slide/tape presentation is finished. From years of experience with this audiovisual show, we know the questions that audiences ask, and therefore we can fortify you with answers.
Audiences truly appreciate having this subject, which concentrates on Rochester history as reflected in Mount Hope Cemetery, on their luncheon, afternoon, and evening programs, and the response is always warm and generous. If you'd like to learn more about this rewarding volunteer activity, call Ellie or Bill at 473-0778.
Free to members, $3 a person ($5/family) for nonmembers. Meet at the north gatehouse opposite Robinson Drive for all tours. Free lemonade and cookies after each tour.

Hidden behind a high gray stone wall that separates it from the noise and traffic of busy Mount Hope Avenue is the Ellwanger Garden. It is owned and maintained as an historic landscape by the Landmark Society of Western New York and was once part of the grounds of the George Ellwanger residence. He and his partner Patrick Barry were co-owners of the Mount Hope Botanical and Pomological Garden and important figures in the history of horticulture in America. The success of the Ellwanger and Barry enterprise, once hailed as the world's largest nursery, led to Rochester's reputation as the "Flower City" in the mid to late 19th century.
Helen Ellwanger and her sister Margaret, granddaughters of George Ellwanger, were the daughters of Edward and Leah Cresswell Ellwanger. The girls were born in the house next door to their grandparents' home on Mount Hope Avenue.
The house had previously been the home of their uncle Henry Brooks Ellwanger, who lived there until his death at age 32 in 1883.
The girls' father Edward, the youngest of George and Cornelia Brooks Ellwanger's four sons, died in 1897 at age 38 after a prolonged illness. Following the death of George Ellwanger in 1906, Helen, Margaret, and their mother moved into his house at 625 Mount Hope Avenue.
Helen Ellwanger was educated at Miss Hake's school located near the corner of Scio Street and East Avenue. Public transportation was used to take young Helen to school each day. One horse-drawn streetcar took her part of the way, and she transferred to another to complete her trip. After graduating from Miss Hake's school, she attended Miss Hill's school in Philadelphia.
Helen had great respect and affection for her grandfather and as a child visited him every day after lunch. Each morning
he took a buggy ride around the nursery properties, and she recalled accompanying him on one of the rides to a vineyard where rare European grapes were grown. The vineyard is now the campus of Colgate Rochester Divinity School - Bexley Hall - Crozer.
Miss Ellwanger devoted much of her adult life to community activities. She was a member of the Rochester Garden Club and served as secretary of the "Leaves Twig" of Rochester General Hospital. As a life member of the Board of Managers of the University of Rochester's Memorial Art Gallery, she took an active role in gallery fundraising and other activities. She became a member of the board's Art Committee and contributed a number of art works to the gallery. Among the most outstanding of her gifts were two paintings: "Florentine Still Life" by Giorgio de Chirico and "Basket of Fruit," a still life by Rubens Peale.
Passionate in her belief in the importance of the preservation of Rochester landmarks, Miss Ellwanger founded the Landmark Society of Western New York in 1937 in order to save the deteriorated Greek Revival Campbell-Whittlesey House at 123 South Fitzhugh Street. She purchased the house before it could be demolished and presented it to the fledgling Landmark Society to be used as a house museum. Her hands-on involvement in the restoration included climbing scaffolding to determine what the house was like originally and ensuring it was accurately restored to its former grandeur.
Very concerned about the destruction and neglect of Rochester's historic buildings, she felt strongly that every effort should be made to preserve and maintain the city's architectural treasures. Before the downtown Security Trust temple, designed by local architect Claude Bragdon, was torn down in the early 1980s to make way for the Riverside Convention Center, she voiced her indignation by making many phone calls of protest in an attempt to save the important landmark.
Miss Ellwanger was influential in arranging for the donation of the Ellwanger and Barry library of horticultural books, primarily from the 19th century, to the University of Rochester's Rush Rhees Library in 1943. She continued to make donations to the Ellwanger and Barry archives over the years and was a frequent visitor to the library to view exhibits and talk with the staff.
Miss Ellwanger cared for her sister Margaret, who during a long illness was confined to a wheelchair in the final years of her life and died on September 21, 1958. Helen continued to live in the family homestead maintaining the garden that was first planted by her grandfather in 1867.
Her search for perfection in her garden was never ending. When a plant captured her fancy, she wrote to nurseries, in this country and abroad, until she found a source for the plant so that she could include it in her garden. Often, special permission from the U.S. Department of Agriculture was required to import the plants or seeds she was seeking.
When concerned about the proper care of a particular variety of plant, she often sought the advice of nationally-known experts.
She saved and treasured the many notes she received from visitors to her garden. One note described the writer's visit as a step into paradise.
Helen Ellwanger died on May 2, 1982 at age 96 leaving her home and garden to the Landmark Society she founded. Portions of her almost two-million-dollar estate went to various non-profit organizations, including the University of Rochester for the Memorial Art Gallery and the Landmark Society for the preservation of the garden.
Because of her generosity and commitment to preservation and the Rochester community, Helen Cresswell Ellwanger's legacy lives on.

A traditional spring activity for the Friends of Mount Hope Cemetery is a Saturday training session in April for new tour guides. This year's trainees included Ann Salter, Sarah Keroff, Nancy Uffindell, and Evelyn Burgess. They were given an instructive tour of the Cemetery by experienced guides Fran Coleman, Laurel Gabel, Anne Kingston, Eric Logan, Ed Olinger, and Richard Reisem. Besides learning anecdotal material about famous cemetery residents and identifying interesting Victorian symbols on gravestones, the trainees discovered how to find their way around a large area of winding roads to locate specific monuments often hidden in a sea of similar-appearing gravestones. After studying a comprehensive training manual and making a few practice runs under experienced guides, they are ready to solo.
One of the new guides, Joe Cashimere, found that he had almost 70 people on his first tour. A bit nervous about his large audience, he asked if any of them had taken a tour of Mount Hope before. When no one responded, he said, "Well, this is my first one, too." Enthusiastic reports after the tour indicated that the first-time guide had done a masterful job. And that is exactly the goal of our thorough training program.
If you are interested in becoming a tour guide applauded for your mastery of Rochester history as it can be told in Mount Hope Cemetery, call our tour-guide coordinator Laurel Gabel at 248-3453, and she will put you on a fast track to success and recognition.

2019 Women's All-Mountain Wide Ski
Easy, fun, energetic, eager to please—this ski bounds down the hill like a Labrador Retriever. A women-specific BioKonic core places denser materials and metal around the edges while keeping the center light, making it brawny enough for experts yet über-forgiving for the lesser skilled. Testers found it to be an ideal soft-snow one-ski quiver for most of the market—No. 1 in Flotation, Forgiveness, and Playfulness—but it might not have enough bite in it for East Coast ex-racer types.
Strength: Forgiveness
Weakness: Hard-Snow Integrity
Check out all of 2019's Best All-Mountain Wide Skis for Women here.

I almost did not pick him because his name is hard to spell, but I got over myself in that regard and picked him at # 22. The percentage of time I have spelled his name right just about equals his career batting average of .309.
Kaczmarski started out with Pat Mazelka in Kingsport in 2015, and both hit over .350, with Kevin edging out Mazelka by a point for the batting title in the Appalachian League...Batman and Robin - the Dynamic Duo.
As a 24 year old in 2016, he played in both Columbia and St Lucie. In 175 games in his career, his line is an impressive .309/.381/.451. The lefty OF has stolen 34 of 49 in those 175 games, with 47 doubles and a Jose-Reyes like 15 triples....but only 6 homers to date. Defensively, he made just 2 errors in 170 games, so dude has got glove.
He would be greatly benefited in his quest for a major league career by a stellar 2017 season in AA, with added home run pop...15 or more would be nice...so would another batting title.
He is older than Brandon Nimmo, who has a few more years in and has progressed further than Kevin has, but it is not inconceivable that the excellent year Nimmo put up in 2016 could be replicated by Kaczmarski in 2017. If KK splits his season between AA and AAA, I could see him hitting .310, with 35 doubles, a dozen homers and 20 steals in 125 games. And possibly be a September call up.
To me, I can easily see KK as a possible platoon or reserve caliber major league outfielder, starting in 2018.

The Sweet Amy R. over at All That Scraps Blog posted the last cards that I made as a guest designer on Monday. I am very behind on posting them here, but I will get to them as soon as I can! Here is a card that I made using one of C.C. Designs' September releases.
She is Love Lolita Pumpkin. She is so cute and just in time for Halloween.
I paired her with Making Memories' Spook Alley collection from last year. Patting myself on back for digging those out. =) I used Martha Stewart's fence punch on the patterned paper then randomly cut it to make it look like it's a distroied/haunted fence. Thanks to my sweet friend Donna for this tip! =)
The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps' Midnight Feast set. I again used the Papertrey Ink bookmark die for the tag. I first cut the paper out using the die, stamped the sentiment then trimmed it to size. I rounded the bottom corners before inking it with tea dye.
That's all I have for today. Have a beautiful day, my friends! =)
Thanks for stopping by!

Plan Your Next Meeting in Southeast Michigan
Metro Detroit. Ann Arbor. These two areas encompass a region of Michigan that is the most populous and diverse. Let's take a closer look at our partners and what they offer in the meetings and events arena.
Located in downtown Detroit, this CVB represents hospitality entities in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties. This sprawling metropolitan area is home to 5.3 million residents, making it the largest city in Michigan.
The downtown area has 5,000 rooms, hundreds of new restaurants and reliable transportation including a circular street car.
Jennifer Geckler from Points of Light located in Atlanta, Georgia shared, "The city is beautiful and full of pride. Our attendees loved the tours that the Detroit Experience Factory provided."
Staff from PTR Group in Centreville, Virginia said, "The Visit Detroit staff organized a downtown tour that included not only seeing key points of interest but provided information regarding safety, expansion and all the city has to offer."
This CVB in the heart of downtown is a short distance from the University of Michigan and forty miles from Detroit. The greater Ann Arbor area is home to over 121,000 residents. It's easily accessible from Detroit International Metropolitan Airport, the local Amtrak station and is surrounded by several highways. It touts over:
- 4,000 guest rooms
- 300 eateries and
- 150 meeting places
In 2016, Fodor's Travel ranked Ann Arbor #3 in The Top 20 College Towns We Love to Visit. This year, Money ranked Ann Arbor #47 of the Top 50 Places to Live.
Jolyn Sattizan from the Columbia Chamber of Commerce shared, "Destination Ann Arbor was a HUGE help in bringing our group of 70 to the area for our annual visit exchange program, both with selecting venues and then being on hand while we were in town."
"Our event couldn't have gone better; everything was great! We very much appreciated all the assistance, from getting the hotel room block to gift bags and more," said Jim Stodolak from the Kappa Signa Fraternity.
Kristine Nash-Wong from XLerant said, "The conference was wonderful. Ann Arbor goodies were a huge hit!"
Located in Novi (population 59,000) and minutes off the I-96 freeway, this venue is the second largest exposition and ballroom space in Metro Detroit. Novi is also within a 90-minute drive of 70% of the state of Michigan's population, which is another convenience factor.
The general session and breakout room structure, plus the fact they have an onsite hotel and restaurant make it a walkable, self-contained space.
"I have exhibited at and attended several events here and they always do a wonderful job. They are closing in on completing a new addition, which looks huge." – Aaron from Michigan
"If you are looking for a venue that will host just about any number of guests, inside and out, provide a hotel stay, deliver amazing food and work with a staff that will make it so you do not have to lift a finger, then this is the place for you." – Lindsey from Michigan
Located in downtown Detroit, this hotel and casino have received four awards:
- AAA 4-Diamond Award
- 4-Star Forbes Travel Guide verified luxury hotel designation
- 4-Star Forbes Travel Guide verified luxury recognition for their onsite Wolfgang Puck Steak restaurant
- 2018 Best of Mid America Venues
It offers 30,000 square feet of functional event space that can be divided between a Grand Ballroom, three meeting rooms, and two executive boardrooms.
They provide mobile check-in and check-out service, allowing your attendees to skip the front desk line all-together. Teaming up with Uber provides guests easy access to other elements of the Detroit area without a long wait time.
Their eleven-person staff is dedicated to helping you plan the best event ever.
Just north of downtown Detroit, this hotel has received three event arena distinctions:
- AAA 4-Diamond rating
- 2018 Best of Mid America Award
- Iridescence, it's onsite restaurant, received Forbes Travel Guide's 2018 Recommend Restaurant pinnacle achievement and a 4-Star Diamond award from AAA
MotorCity Casino Hotel offers 67,500 square feet of flexible meeting space and a Sound Board theater. Attendees are provided with high speed, complimentary Wi-Fi, valet parking and access to a 24/7 fitness center.

Though these three alphabets 'GOA' represents one of the smallest states of India, this belittled state is a host to almost 2.5 million tourists every year and rates itself as the top most for drawing in around 0.4 million foreign visitors annually. An amalgamation of the Hindu and Catholic cultures, this region can cater to different spoken languages like English, Konkani, Hindi, Marathi, and even Portuguese. While visiting Goa, one visits an entire state and not a city. Though Goa has a number of beaches, but is not an island! It is a coast line to the Arabian Sea and apart from its beaches is also famous for its art, culture, churches, temples, and forts. But beaches are the glory of this state and a deeper insight of the hand-picked ones is cited below:
1. Calangute Beach

Known as the Queen of Beaches, Calangute beach is a must visit for the first timers in Goa. Calangute is a small town in North Goa and the entire beach can be traversed over a seven-kilometer stretch. Being the most commercialized and largely occupied beach in Goa, this beach promises to exhibit a throbbing nightlife. Water sports are at spotlight here with activities like skiing, water surfing, and parasailing to supplement your appetite for adventure. One could take some pleasure basking in the sun on the sand treasure of this beach or could enjoy the coconut groves along the shore.
2. Baga Beach

Wanting to be lost in a crowd! This beach is full of enthusiasts from around the globe hounding for a variety of water sports. The Baga beach is the most popular beach in North Goa that has plenty of shacks and fishing boats. This beach offers you a plethora of eateries, where one could relish the versatile options of sea food and coastal cuisine. The shops along this beach present a range of tourist souvenirs, colorful fabrics, and leather wares to opt from.
3. Palolem Beach

The imposing heights of the coconut palms bordered around the Palolem beach in South Goa speak of its calm and peacefulness. A full moon night beach walk enriches your experience and the running away of the small creepy crawlies that you spot around your feet, add a tickling experience. At the onset of sunrise or at sunset, one should not miss taking a boat ride to encounter dolphins. Palolem beach also thrills its adventure seekers with scuba diving sports facility.
4. Anjuna Beach

Anjuna beach finds its place in the list of every young traveler. It is home to the most sought for a night club in Goa. This beach is famous for being a happening place, ideal for outdoor parties, festivals, and ravishing night life. The ease of availability of almost everything around; markets, restaurants, ATM's, motor bikes, hotels makes this beach the most visited and one of the crowded places to move around, specifically in the evenings. A party hub and a trance for the night lifers.
5. Agonda Beach

A retreat from the hustle bustle of the crowd, an ideal place for solace, Agonda beach is the perfect destination for relaxing and swimming. This beach is widely known as a turtle nesting site and is a host to the Ridley turtles for nesting during nights. Halfway on the beach, one would come across the Agonda Church which is known for its magnificent architecture and its picturesque frontage.
One does not treasure the memories of Goa but makes it through again to visit this beautiful place and refresh and relive the moments. This place not only energizes you but instills its influence on your mind forever.

Child Number Twenty Is On The Way For Dugger Family
Yes, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are expecting their twentieth child in the spring. Their latest daughter was born on December 10, 2009 when Michelle Duggar was only twenty-five weeks pregnant. The child is doing great in spite of being so premature. Michelle Duggar is forty-five years of age and she and her husband have children ranging in age from twenty-three years of age to the latest who will be two in December. She has had two sets of twins also. Their oldest son has made them grandparents with a grandson who is four months old and a granddaughter who is two years old.
Because of her last pregnancy, which sent her into premature labor due to preeclampsia, is being monitored closely by a high-risk pregnancy doctor. She stated that she is eating very healthy and skipping the caffeine and getting plenty of rest.
Their popular show on television, "19 Kids and Counting" had their season finale tonight. It has not been stated if they will return next season but most like the show will return as "20 Kids and Counting." Each time they have added a child the name of the show has changed. It has been a staple on The Learning Channel on cable television.

USN-2979-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
16 May 2016
linux vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description
- linux - Linux kernel
David Matlack discovered that the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict variable Memory Type Range Registers (MTRR) in KVM guests. A privileged user in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) in the host, expose sensitive information from the host, or possibly gain administrative privileges in the host. (CVE-2016-3713)
Philip Pettersson discovered that the Linux kernel's ASN.1 DER decoder did not properly process certificate files with tags of indefinite length. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-0758)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- linux-image-4.4.0-22-generic - 4.4.0-22.40
- linux-image-4.4.0-22-generic-lpae - 4.4.0-22.40
- linux-image-4.4.0-22-lowlatency - 4.4.0-22.40
- linux-image-4.4.0-22-powerpc-e500mc - 4.4.0-22.40
- linux-image-4.4.0-22-powerpc-smp - 4.4.0-22.40
- linux-image-4.4.0-22-powerpc64-emb - 4.4.0-22.40
- linux-image-4.4.0-22-powerpc64-smp - 4.4.0-22.40
To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.

Some skeptical of parole office move in New Haven
NEW HAVEN — Should a state Department of Correction parole facility be located across from the newly constructed replacement for the Farnam Court affordable housing complex?
Anstress Farwell, head of the New Haven Urban Design League, said the building could be put to a better use as part of the Mill River Development District that would be more attractive and useful for the Farnam Court population and other efforts to build up the area.
She said the state and federal governments already have put major grants into Farnam Court, as well as The District, a tech and entertainment center off James and State streets, and is promising funds for the Mill River Trail and the conversion of the long-shuttered Clock Factory for use as artist housing — all projects connected to the Mill River district.
The state, which needs to move the parole facility from its present site at a problematic building at 50 Fitch St., has leased the vacant 38,887-square-foot, two-story commercial building at 620 Grand Ave. that was once home to the Palmieri sauce company.
The state was asked by the city to consider another site that is on a bus line, out of a total of three potential locations. Economic Development Administrator Matthew Nemerson said the state declined.
The parole office plan had been on the March City Plan Commission agenda but was put off until April so commission members could get a better understanding of the operation.
The staff and commission had concerns about the impact on the close-by residential community as well as on such groups as LEAP and the New Haven Land Trust. Another concern was the combined impact on the homeless men's shelter across the street.
Farwell has an email from Marvin Anderson, who heads the parole division in New Haven, saying the state was willing to put off approval of the use of the building to house the parole office until May in order to talk with the area management teams.
Instead, the commission, after getting answers on how the office functions from three Department of Correction officials at its April 18 meeting, approved the use at that time.
Farwell said the corrections official later explained he didn't have the authority to make the promise to put off approval.
Farwell said they wanted the officials to come talk to the Downtown Wooster Square and Fair Haven managment teams about their concerns. In New Haven it is close to pro-forma to have developers come first to the management teams.
Nemerson said there had been a request from the state to expedite the approval and at first it didn't even want to submit a site plan.
"We said no. You have to go through the process everyone has to go through," Nemerson said.
"We don't expedite. It is not part of the rules," Anne Hartijen, a staff member at the City Plan, said.
Nemerson said "there were concerns at high levels" about not burdening those blocks with less than the best uses, but the dialogue was not fruitful..
Farwell, in an email to the management teams on the vote, thanked the city for its effort but showed her disappointment with the Department of Correction.
"I am dismayed. When a representative of the State, on a matter using public funds and involving public welfare, makes a commitment, you should be able to rely on it," Farwell wrote.
In an interview, Farwell said keeping one's word is particularly important for an official with a badge and a gun, who should be held to the highest standard.
At the City Plan meeting, Anderson said the parolees come to the office, as required, to check in with their assigned officer. He said most of the officers' work is done in the field and there is little visibility of activity at the office.
He said if there is any crime near the parole offices around the state, it does not involve the parolees.

Please update the stackapplet package in the Ubuntu Software Center
Is it possible to update the version of stackapplet in the software center, the current version is outdated and doesn't work for a lot of users.

The correct procedure to request updates is to report a bug
For stackapplet go here:
and click report a bug.
Include details of what has changed and between the upstream version and the versions currently in Ubuntu also include if the update fixes bugs or adds new features and if know where the source for the updated version can be obtained.
Please note however that Ubuntu is not a rolling release so except to fix bugs and security issues it is rare for packages to be updated between issues. Reporting the bug will at least make the developers aware that the update is wanted.
Alternatively you may be able to find an external ppa where someone else has packaged it and install from there instead.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask Gerhard Burger for more information if necessary.

I insist you pay attention
For I am only going to say
This once I am the one who
Haunts your dreams I am the
One you fear and if you follow
Me I'll make sure you disappear
Hello WordPress! Writer's Block here with some good news, first off I am now twenty-four since today is my birthday. I am now a year old and wiser I can't wait for what the future has in store for me. Secondly, for those who didn't know I'm studying to be a Medical Biller and Coder (which hopefully I'll be graduating from in July) I had test yesterday and only missed three! Which is a good thing since I had terrible test anxiety, I also got caught up on the homework for that class ( I was fourteen pages behind) eh, between being a full-time student and a part-time worker my life can get crazy. And finally I should be posting chapter XVI of Ambrose sometime next week, hopefully after that chapter two of The Hunger will be post as well. Thank you all so much and have a wonderful day!

Sneha Subramanian Kanta's Whispering Paths
|by U Atreya Sarma
... Cute poems plus short stories with an elegant getup
Here is a bunch of cute little sweet poems from the pen of one who "started penning her poems from the incredible age of four." A frequent traveller seeking out the beauties of nature – "trees, lakes, flowers, birds, mountains, hills and valleys" – the poet Sneha Subramanian Kanta fondly acknowledges that she has "got the skill of writing poems through my mother, who was a poet as well. Nature inspired both of us the most."
The whispering paths of her travel take her not only to the myriad scenes of nature but also to a host of places like Bombay and Kolkata; Kashi and Rameshwaram; Worli and Ratnagiri; Nasik, Pune and Singhad.
A childlike simplicity runs through Sneha's poems as an undercurrent, and this has been expressly nourished by her Amma who "painstakingly" collected and saved all the "random pieces of paper during my childhood." The neat volume of 38 poems (plus a bonus of 6 short stories) captures the writer's reminiscences of places and people with a nostalgic or wistful flavour.
The opening poem with its evocative title "The Book and the Flower" carries a fragrant image of their association:
It's an old book
with the smell of
the flower smudged
into print
gently pressed
across page number
fifty nine...
It is a common experience that the word 'independence' – just like the much-touted shibboleth of 'socialism' - means different things to different people, in our country. Raju, the little blithe and carefree lad that he is, is given to fun and frolic; and enjoys his childhood with a lot of freedom and parental affection. His sweet innocence charms us when he queries his mother on his return from school:
is this independence
the one bapu ji was talking about the other day? - (Raju)
Can we deny this child's interpretation of 'Independence'? And that cheerful worry-free age takes in oodles of wonderful sights with its wonder-filled eyes:
...look at the sun make a big
'O' with an outline of orange - (Raju)
Then we are introduced to a cameo where a child uprooted from her Karachi home is forced into and faces the partition trauma - "full of violence" - to eventually transition into a wise grandma:
a ravaged era of
partition and a
childhood full of
she left her home
in Karachi
and cruised the
waters to reach
the then Bombay
she lived in camps;
the fair girl who
everyone loved
illiterate, yet so
articulate - Grandmother)
The vagaries of modern life are not without their eroding effects on our traditional and cultural values. And how even those from the priestly community, the quintessential torchbearer of the ancient values, are not immune to the modern onslaught but become a cog in the wheel of routine, impersonal, uninvolved and commercial compulsions:
I heard the brahmins mobile phone ring
in between him chanting mantras for my
dead grandmothers soul to rest in peace - (Memoirs)
Villagers are no longer the artless lot that they once used to be. The winds of globalisation bring in both good and bad – but mostly bad – into our cities and towns and then they sweep even our villages – in this era of global village. As a result, the rural shopkeepers don't hesitate to exploit the rich visitors or those looking rich; they are smart enough to take advantage of the "urban dimwits" by charging "ten rupees more than / the actual cost" (Memoirs).
What with the creative world where we have more writers than the readers, the ordeal of turmoil that most of the budding writers go through is well reflected:
one letter of acceptance
and a thousand rejected manuscripts
one letter of appreciation from the editor of a 'small magazine'
two hundred ideas hitting the head
and one hundred words missing in the mind
going to social dos with the 'right people' - (Writer's Life)
The behemoth of Kolkata what with its historical background has its irresistible appeal – accentuated by fascinating contrasts and contradictions finding themselves in co-existence:
Kolkata is not only about fishes;
Who told you this?
It is about the many little coffee shops with
the many intellectuals and
pseudo-intellectuals sitting inside
And of Kalighat, the famous temple
Where smell of flowers mix with
The smell of sweat
Kolkata is humid, you would know - (Amalgamations)
In the poem "Get me Flowers," the poet splits the verb 'fall' into as many lines so as to visually capture the process of slowness in the falling of the leaves!
Get me flowers
I won't mind
but get them when they
Perhaps this "visual effect" is one of the experiments the writer claims she has attempted in this volume. "I have experimented with poems in the book; in terms of language, style and visual effects." As part of it, we see dropping of the apostrophe in the Possessive Case. E.g.: "brahmins mobile phone / grandmothers soul" (Memoirs); and "my husbands corpse" (Jallianwala Bagh). Similarly, we see a deviation from capitalization in many cases including proper nouns.
Then there are some glaring things which cannot, probably, pass off as experiments. In the poem "Wooden Table and Three Generations," the poet refers to the "sturdy pillars" of the table; it would have read better as "sturdy supports/legs." We have the expression "freezed in this moment" (Window of Love). Shouldn't it be "froze" instead of "freezed"? See the lines "Where smell of flowers mix with / The smell of sweat" (Amalgamations). Wouldn't "mixes" be more proper than "mix"?
The six stories are simple and with tender themes and emotions, covering - partition traumas; glee or glumness of child birth; people dying and the heirs carrying on the life's baton; dangers of reckless juvenile bravado; how a smiling facade can have an excruciating agony behind it. There are poignant and significant observations like "The wife of a martyr is never a widow" referring to a young soldier killed in the Kargil war (Oil Lamps at Night). The stories which brake us with their slips of pen would have read better had there been good editing.
Overall, crisp are the whispers from this book with its elegant getup and idyllic-verdurous cover. And let's hope that the whispers propel Sneha onto a more resonant path in the time to come.

The cartime team, ably assisted by mascot cartime Tim, were recently joined by volunteers from Key 103 and Cash for Kids for a gold-winning run on The Crystal Maze.
As well as collecting toys and donations for Cash for Kids, cartime have donated two cars to deliver all the donations to kids' homes in time for Christmas, and wanted to make a donation of their own.
So cartime's Matt Kay and mascot Tim led a Crystal Maze team along with Key 103 Drive Time's Adam Cole, manager Michelle Williamson, Charity Manager from Cash for Kids, and two more willing volunteers.
Together they scooped a full complement of crystals and headed to the Crystal Dome for the familiar cry of "Will you start the fans please!"
The plan was to donate £1 to Cash for Kids for every gold token won, and with their time in the Dome, the team managed to grab a grand total of 240 tickets - but Matt decided that wasn't enough.
So in the end he doubled the winning total, bringing cartime's Cash for Kids donation to a healthy £480.
It's not too late to make a donation, but time is running out to head down to the drop-off point at cartime and donate some toys or baby gear to the cause.
Alternatively, you can still donate cash too - helping kids in poverty to have more to celebrate this Christmas.

When Ryan Valdez walked out of a local supermarket and noticed a sign advertising $10 memberships at Fit for Life gym in Colleyville, little did he know that it would transform the life of his wheelchair bound father, David Valdez.
Rewind to 2013 when David Valdez worked for a logistics company. There were no physical indications that he was on the verge of a major medical emergency except his wife Arlene, later recalled a change in temperament about a month before the incident and blurry vision the night before Valdez would collapse. The day of event began like any other. David Valdez was showering when, without warning, he suffered two brain aneurysms and collapsed. A terrified Arlene found her husband unconscious in the shower where he almost drowned. Transported to one hospital then airlifted to another, Valdez required emergency surgery to stop the bleeding in his brain.
Valdez was hospitalized for two months. He lay in an induced coma for the first four weeks after surgery to allow his brain to rest and the fluid surrounding the brain to drain. Upon awakening it was apparent that Valdez had lost most of his functional mobility, long term/short term memory and speech. After his release from the hospital two months after the incident, Valdez was moved to rehab centers where the therapists helped him to reestablish the brain/muscle connection. His memory improved with time and he learned to speak again. While Valdez continued to improve, his mobility was still a challenge. Confined to a wheelchair, David Valdez wasn't sure if he would ever walk on his own.
Ryan Valdez knew his dad, David, needed help. After watching his father suffer a seizure during an outing, Ryan decided to do his own research in an effort to improve his father's quality of life. Ryan discovered that vitamins, minerals, and exercise could help his dad. The day he went to purchase those vitamins was the day that changed his father's life for the better.
Ryan walked out of local market in Colleyville, Texas and noticed a sign for $10 per month memberships at Fit for Life Fitness Center in Colleyville. He walked into Fit for Life and spoke to one of the trainers who signed them up and encouraged Ryan to bring his father into the gym. When Ryan came home and told his dad he had signed up for a gym membership, David Valdez was all for it. "I told him…let's do it! I have worked out all my life and I love the gym." Prior to his aneurysms, Valdez worked out regularly prior to the incident and knew the value of a healthy lifestyle. In fact, his doctor speculated that Valdez's overall good health was a contributing factor in surviving such a major injury to the brain.
Valdez began working out with trainer Lacie Gonzalez at Fit for Life. A survivor of a severe car wreck, Gonzalez had been told she would never walk again and would need a prosthetic leg. Through her own determination and exercise regimen, she strengthened her legs and avoided amputation. While Valdez was a challenge, Gonzalez was sure she could help him. "I did some research and realized that he had lost the ability to reconnect the brain to the legs. We were going to teach him to walk again". When Valdez started the trainers at Fit for Life told him he would be walking in three months. David Valdez took his first steps in six weeks.
Valdez said that Fit for Life did something that none of the other rehab facilities had been able to do. The rehab centers, though admittedly wonderful facilities that helped strengthen his body, could not teach him to walk independently. "They could hook me up to a machine that would make me walk like a machine, but it wasn't me walking, the machine was walking for me and that wasn't going to work for me". The first day his dad walked on his own, Ryan couldn't believe it, "It was awesome and I think he will get better, so we'll just keep doing it." Valdez agreed,
"Getting up out of that chair was the best feeling I ever had. The wheelchair is now an option, not a necessity."
"The $10 membership Ryan Valdez saw advertised by our sign represented a possibility," says Bob Fariss, co-owner of Fit for Life Fitness Center in Colleyville. "The membership made it possible for his dad to have access to a modern gym and placed David Valdez in an environment where members and trainers believed in him because they have experienced their own success. Lacie (David's trainer) has the skills and tools, David added the desire to get out of that wheelchair. For us, success is seeing changed lives. it's why we are here".
Valdez plans to write a book about his experience in order to help others who have suffered aneurysms and strokes and are left with mobility issues. "You can't give up, you just have to keep going" says Valdez.
Fit for Life Fitness Center is located at 4906 Colleyville Blvd, Colleyville, Texas. Phone 817-953-6666 for more information on how you can begin your personal transformation.

I'm the project manager for ten24 so it's my responsibility to have daily communication with all of our clients, to manage their projects with our developers. I also manage our online project management software, Teamwork, and make sure that clients know how to report issues or questions they may have on there so that I can then get developer's assistance in answering those and/or feeding the information to the appropriate project leader.
My favorite part of this job are the clients. I have daily interaction with some wonderful people doing wonderful things in their work. At old positions that I had I was working for non-profits where everyday I would work on the same website all day long, for the same company. And after a year or two that can get kind of boring. I love the fact that everyday I don't know what to expect in terms of what site I'll be looking at or who I'll be speaking to, which always keeps changing, keeps me engaged and interested.
Launching the PHIA CMS application, largely because it is a business I had no previous knowledge of. To work with developers to build a database that this company would be using on a daily basis to do their work was a challenge because I had to wrap my head around the business first which is not something I'm usually comfortable with (healthcare claims). It was eye-opening, business-wise. It was a challenge to wrap my head around the business in order to make sure that the tasks that we were doing complimented what they wanted. Plus we had a short time-frame to get it launched, with a lot of work that needed to get done.
We have about 30 active projects, but they ebb and flow between 10-15 projects every day I'm touching.
I use Teamwork! It's an amazing resource for me as a project manager because I'm able to see, at a moment's notice, where a project is at and what communication's been happening both internally and externally with our clients. What tasks are open and closed, when they're due, it's how I live my life as a project manager. I can consult that and know exactly where a project status is and what is happening on it to the minute.
Meetings. My job is to facilitate communication between the clients and our developers to make sure our project is on task, on time and on budget so we do that frequently with meetings. I don't always have to be in them, but I like to be so that I'm aware of where a project is sitting and what the next steps might be. I also have a lovely project coordinator who assists me with this, so I don't always have to be running around. I can spend my time managing tasks in teamwork and communicating directly with the developers on the work that they are doing.
I think it is important for project managers to have clear communication with clients, by being up-front and honest about the status of a project. If your developers are working hard and we know that the deadline of Friday may not be met due to circumstance a, b or c, a project manager's job is to make sure the client knows as quickly as possible and provides next steps to get to where they need to be. I think it's important to make sure clients are constantly aware of a project status even if you are diligently working hard and don't have any questions it's good to check in with them and say: "we are all set, we're working hard and still on track, just wanted to let you know".
Baking desserts and other goodies for the developers. Any time I provide them with sugar and caffeine, development goes up.
I withhold their baked goods until they clean up their act.
Typically there is no uncooperative client, rather there are clients that have different expectations for the project than were previously explained to ten24. So in situations like that, I get all the key people both on the ten24 side and the client side, together, in a room as quickly as possible. To make sure that everybody knows what the expectations are for the project before we go any further down a rabbit hole and make sure that the client's expectations meet what we are producing for them.
I spend my free time scrapbooking! I have a whole room in my house dedicated to all my craft supplies. I picked up this hobby shortly after getting married in 2004 and it has since grown into exploding my wallet and house with craft supplies and photographs of my family and friends.
That is an extremely hard question for me, since I have too many favorite movies and I have the ability to watch the same movie two to three times a day. So when people tell me that their favorite movie is movie "X" because they've seen it five times, I laugh, because I've seen some movies well over 100 times. Mostly movies from the 80s and 90s since that's when I was growing up and have great memories of movies during those periods.
Talytas. My husband is Salvadorian, and it is extremely hard to find Salvadorian cuisine in New England and they serve pupusas, so I enjoy going there to get those.
I do not have one at the office, since I am the one who determines everybody's nicknames! I have yet to give myself one, although I'm sure the developers have many names they'd like to call me. Friends and family call me Em, Emmers, and various other things that are too bad to print, but my favorite nickname is Mommy. There's nothing better than hearing my 3 year old son, Silas, shout that in the house.
Growing up my favorite games ranged from playing hours of Doom to strategizing with my father while playing the Myst series. Nowadays I don't have much time to play video games, since I have a three-year old at home, but I do enjoy city-building games and have been trying to beat Pharaoh, a Sierra city-building game, since we bought it in 1995. I've always been a PC gamer, and every time I get a new computer the base files for the game get erased and I lose my progress so we are going on year 20 of me playing this game and attempting finish it through the seventh or eighth computer it's been installed on. It's my white whale.
I really enjoyed our company outing to Dave and Busters, because I love video games so much and it's unusual for me to go out to a place like that with a three-year old attached to my leg. It was nice to have the freedom to play with adults for the evening and hangout with my colleagues.
I have about 150 dream vacations and have created a bucket list of places I would love to travel to. Currently at the top of the list is going to Yosemite or Yellowstone because I've recently become enamored with national parks after visiting the Grand Canyon back in 2014. My sister and I travel together frequently, and we never really had a concept of how amazing a national park can be. Having grown up in Maine, Acadia did not wow me enough to consider it a National Park, largely in part because I grew up on the coast and I would see the ocean all the time so nothing new and exciting there. Going the Grand Canyon made us realize how much is out there in terms of beautiful scenery in the western part of our country.
Pinterest. A colleague of mine at a previous job told me about this site where you could go and tag pictures, recipes and things you like off the internet, and I thought that was the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, but she insisted I check it out. Shortly thereafter, I became hooked, to the point that I'm on it every night looking for scrapbooking photos, recipes, parenting ideas… you name it!
I can't say it was the worst job I've ever had because it only lasted a week, but my Alma Mater, Endicott College, required that we do a full-semester internship our senior year. I went to an online merchandising company that sells chachkies and the second day of my internship was September 11, 2001, so the online industry immediately crashed after the chaos of that day. Within a week, I was the first person in Endicott history to have been laid off of my internship because the company closed. It wasn't the worst job, just the most difficult because I was in my graduating year trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life and all of a sudden things we took for granted as Americans were completely turned on their head. No one knew what to do, what was going to happen, what the economy was going to be like. It was a very scary time. Thankfully the man that had hired me, who was the marketing director, took me with him to work at a talent booking agency that booked gigs for jazz artists all over the country. So I was able to finish my internship.
My sister and I have a special talent where we can quote entire movies from start to finish and will have conversations entirely in movie quotes. I'm also slightly obsessed with Halloween as well and will plan my (and now my sons) costumes 9 months in advance.
Coke. I love a ice-cold coke classic in a glass bottle. But I normally head for the coke zero when I need to behave.

Hi All, just bought a new Silver Daihatsu Charade SL for my wife Jackie, my car is a Smart Passion. Not seen many of these Daihatsu's about so far, have many been sold?
We had previously a Daihatsu Charade 1.3 1996 P reg and Jackie had it for seven years, no problems except for a new clutch.
We are taking our new car for it's first long run tomorrow and note from the manual that you should not exceed 55mph for the first 1,000 miles not mentioned by the dealer!! They do not seem to state running in periods very much these days unless you ask.
Radio is a bit naff it is a Clarion and in strong sunlight you cannot see the display. Only one parcel shelf cord, even though there are facilities for two i.e. cord hole in shelf and clip location mount on the tailgate.
Build quality is not as good as the previous model we had, but it cost more in 1996, the other extras make up for it. Air Con Wow, definately the biz and cheap VED.
More later I think as we settle in
Charade SL follow on.
Did not go to far about hundred and fifty miles round trip yesterday, the SL reminds me of my Smart, good on the flat, lags a bit on hills. Reviews read before said it was a non motorway car and suffered from side winds, well with a 30c plus heat we did not get any side winds yesterday, seemed alright on the motorway doing 70 ish Pulls away okay in second, air con was a blessing as mentioned before and we did enough of RTFM before we started with the car radio and finally sussed it out, ruddy screen saver!! and we also did the tour of the car manual.
Do you know you do not see another old style Charade for weeks on end and then I drove around the corner from our place this morning and what did I find another P job! parked up.
Anyway that's all for now folks probably will not write now for the next six months and the middle of winter. I can't see us going on Charade SL runs with the club.......probably need a Fourtrak!!

Stockholm is Swedens capital, largest and most populous city, with a population of just under one million in the city and just over two million in its major metropolitan area. Founded around the 13th century, Stockholm was always and remains the cultural, political and economic center of Sweden and is today a city of global importance with top rankings in international surveys. This famously beautiful city and environmentally exemplary capital (with no heavy industry) is home to both the parliament (Riksdag) and monarchy (Drottningholm Palace, one of several). Geographically located on Swedens south central east coast, where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea, 26% of Stockholmers are of a non-Swedish background, this fact may contribute to the international range of restaurants here, which include nine Michelin stars. The old town is known as Gamla Stan (featured on our map), is located on one of the original city islets and has an interesting medieval street network. Apart from the above, festivals of every type, museums, palaces, art galleries and fascinating architecture make beautiful Stockholm so much more than just another lovely Scandinavian city.

Well, I'm excited about this on so many levels. My youngest daughter has been really getting into making natural skin care and bath products. Not only do I want her to make this one for us, I want to get her a subscription to that magazine for Christmas! shhh...don't tell!ReplyDelete
Hi Jo,ReplyDelete
Hope you are doing well. :)
Thanks for the great recipe. I will give it a try. I love organic things especially for my body.
Hi Jo,ReplyDelete
Now this is a great way to treat yourself... The last photo of the flowers is just breathtaking.
Thank you for sharing.
There must be something about cucumbers as they are often recommended for many forms of skin care.ReplyDelete
Take care of yourself.
Hi Jo, this is beautiful and lovely to see you taking care like this. I need to do this more often too. The photos are beautiful and I never heard of this magazine, will love to have one or two...or....three :DReplyDelete
I'm especially intrigued by the "For Strange Women Perfumes" and was impressed by their organic perfumes, and I would indeed be of ''the strange''....lol.....I make my own perfumes too for years now. My latest is Tuberose with Sandalwood, and Vetiver and Rose for underarms....wow. Talk about being transported into other worlds...
I'm with you on that pact. Still working on healing after the death of my mom. It's hard when you never get that chance to mend the past and say good bye.ReplyDelete
Hoping you are doing well. Thanks for the skin care recipe. I've used cucumbers for bags under my eyes from late nights or too many tears. They are fabulous.
Great hearing from you again. I've missed you.
SO much better for you than the commercial stuff with all those chemicals!ReplyDelete
That scrub sounds wonderful! It seems like my skin is already drying out and it's not even all that cold just yet.ReplyDelete

"All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien
There's this place on Limestone between two buildings where you can see both Christ Church Episcopal and First Presbyterian Churches. On Monday, as Stacy and I were walking from Lowell's, I stopped to snap a pic. I'd seen this view before, and I think I even snapped a pic, but it didn't do anything for me, so I didn't share it. This composition still doesn't do it for me, but I love the reflecting colors of the buildings. One of these days I'm going to have the right lens with me at the right time of day in the right season and the way I see this scene from the sidewalk will magically appear as an image. Until then, I'll keep practicing.

Crush course: Pipedream launches six new Crush models and in-store POP display
Posted: September 14, 2017
Pipedream has announced the launch of six new Crush vibes. Introduced in 2015 with the memorable tagline 'You'll never forget your first Crush!', Pipedream says the range has gone on to become a customer favourite, packing a premium experience in compact approachable designs, which particularly appeal to newcomers.
Each model is made from Pipedream's exclusive medical-grade Elite silicone, which is phthalate-free, smooth, seamless and velvety to the touch, and – like the existing models, the six new remote control Crush models are multi-speed, multi-function, and also waterproof.
Also available later this month is the Crush's Shelf –N-Shop merchandising system. This inexpensive in-store system includes all the shelves, hardware, graphics, 3D signage, products, and testers a retailer needs to turn an ordinary wall into a high-profit destination.

Golf looks to rebound at EKU Intercollegiate
Ball State men's golf has their second tournament of the season this weekend, as they travel to Richmond, Kentucky to compete in the Eastern Kentucky University Intercollegiate.
The Cardinals will hit the links again, after recording a 10th and 16th place finish at the Wolf Run Invitational last weekend.
Head Coach Mike Fleck was not pleased with his team's first tournament effort, as he expected more from a team that finished second in the Mid-American Conference Championships just a season ago.
"My expectations going into the event and for this team this year are very high," Fleck said. "We were knowledgeable about the golf course and we have a very experienced team, but it just didn't work out for us."
Fleck also said that he needs his top four golfers to consistently have good rounds. Fleck is relying on his golfer's experience to get Ball State into the postseason through an at-large slot, if unable to dethrone heavy favorite No. 23 Kent State, as MAC champions.
As Ball State turns their attention from Wolf Run to Kentucky, high expectations remain. Although it will be the first time the Cardinals will have played at the University Club in Arlington, Coach Fleck says that practice rounds this week and a scouting report of the course will have them ready.
"I expect our team to go down there and win," said Fleck. "It's going to be a mix of a lot of mid-major golf programs, and if we play well, it's a field that we should be successful against."
Ball State will open play at the EKU Intercollegiate on Saturday and finish on Sunday. Tee times are to be announced.

Back in the midst of the PAD protests and overtaking the airport, we also witnessed an astrological event, Earthshine, to also be aligned with Venus and Jupiter, making a smiling face. As corny as all the claims of how people feel like smiling when they see it, it's true. When I saw it, I couldn't resist admiring and smiling back. Not being a spiritual person by any stretch of the imagination, I couldn't help feeling like the heaven's were sending down a reassurance.
Photographing the sky is not a skill I have yet begun to understand. My best photos of the Earth's Smile are not in any scenic set up. It was hard enough to get a somewhat clear photo of the three celestial objects alone.

According to a BLOG article by Michael Geist, Betty Hinton, the Member or Parliament for Kamloops - Thompson - Cariboo has infringed the copyright of a Canadian photographer that was licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license.
"The licensing information was right there, right on the photo. So that was bypassed by a member of Ms. Hinton's office," Hobby photographer David Wise told Kamloops This Week. You can also read what David wrote on his own BLOG.
As parliament gears up to make radical changes to the Canadian Copyright act that will make Copyright more complex and make more activities infringing, this type of case can be a very useful educational exercise to remind MPs that the first priority must be to "clarify and simplify the Act", and that non-biased public education on the law is far more helpful than the counter-productive direction they have been contemplating so far.
