Obama budget proposal should be DOA
Apparently President Obama is sure his newest budget proposal is so good there's no room or need for negotiation. Or so a senior White House official says:
"We don't view this budget as a starting point in the negotiations. This is an offer where the president came more than halfway toward the Republicans," a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity to detail the forthcoming document.
"So this is our sticking point," the official said. "And the question is: are Republicans going to be willing to come to us to do serious things to reduce our deficits?"
Obama is proposing a $3.78 trillion dollar budget. Estimated tax revenues for 2014 are $3.22 trillion. Yet, this is being touted as a "budget cutting" budget and the White House claims it is exactly what the Republicans have wanted.
What … another deficit?
By the way, I don't want "reduced deficits". I want NO deficit. I.e. any budget that begins with an amount higher than the estimated tax revenues for the year is Dead On Arrival.
And that's precisely the declaration this budget (like all the other budgets Obama has submitted) deserves.
In praise of lazy Harry Reid
Okay, yes, it's a bit of a sarcastic title, but in a sense I mean it:
For those who need proof that the Senate was a do-nothing chamber in 2011 beyond the constant partisan bickering and failure to pass a federal budget, there is now hard evidence that it was among the laziest in 20 years.
In her latest report, Secretary of the Senate Nancy Erickson revealed a slew of data that put the first session of the 112th Senate at the bottom of Senates since 1992 in legislative productivity, an especially damning finding considering that it wasn't an election year when congressional action is usually lower.
For example, while the Democratically-controlled Senate was in session for 170 days, it spent an average of just 6.5 hours in session on those days, the second lowest since 1992. Only 2008 logged a lower average of 5.4 hours a day, and that's when action was put off because several senators were running for president, among them Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain.
On the passage of public laws, arguably its most important job, the Senate notched just 90, the second lowest in 20 years, and it passed a total of 402 measures, also the second lowest. And as the president has been complaining about, the chamber confirmed a 20-year low of 19,815 judicial and other nominations.
Frankly, I think Congress should be a part-time job. That was the way it was designed at the founding. Come in, do the work necessary – you know, such as pass a budget? – and then go back to your real job.
So, in reality, I'm not against a Senate that doesn't do much. Unfortunately, we have an activist president who is more than happy to use the Senate's laziness as a pretext for issuing executive orders and accomplishing his agenda via executive agencies with no accountability to the people.
And, it appears, Harry Reid is fine with that – not that anyone should be particularly surprised by that.
It is the only way Reid can apparently assist the President in doing what he wants to do. You know, provide an excuse. "We can't wait on Congress", something that is only a problem since the GOP took the House one assumes. Of course somehow even lazy Harry Reid managed to at least rouse himself long enough to pass that abomination we know as ObamaCare.
Once that was done, he went back into tax-payer subsidized hibernation.
But with Reid, how do you tell?

New York Time editorial declares war on GOP [update]
I sometimes wonder what world the editorial board of the New York Times calls home. It certainly isn't the one the rest of us live in. But I guess it is necessary to live in an alternative world to be able to push narratives like it pushes in an editorial today. The NY Times has decided, to use a poker term, to go "all in" on Obama's "right-wing extremism" and "dishonesty" meme.
Referencing the Obama speech yesterday, the editorial board says:
Mr. Obama provided a powerful signal on Tuesday that he intends to make this election about the Republican Party's failure to confront, what he called, "the defining issue of our time": restoring a sense of economic security while giving everyone a fair shot, rather than enabling only a shrinking number of people to do exceedingly well. His remarks promise a tough-minded campaign that will call extremism and dishonesty by name.
Remember Obama, who's answer to the "defining issue of our time", submitted each of the two years (I'm talking about his budgets) has gone a collective 0-511. That's right, the two budgets he's submitted to address the "defining issue of our time" hasn't garnered a single vote in two years.
Why? Primarily because neither of the budgets convinced a single legislator of either party, to include the President's own, that they addressed that issue at all.
Yet he presumes to lecture the GOP on the failure to confront this issue? And the NYT somehow manages to buy into that nonsense?
The GOP budget at least passed the House. The NYT presumes that no negotiations are possible because, again, it buys into the Obama claim that the GOP won't compromise. Nonsense. Compromise doesn't mean wholesale capitulation. In an negotiation or compromise there are lines drawn over which the two parties won't give in. Each side has them. The NYT and Obama, naturally, want to characterize the lack of movement as GOP intransigence. But the Democrats are equally intransigent. They want more money in taxes. The GOP continues to point out that taxes aren't the problem. The problem is spending.
Says the NYT:
Mr. Obama has, in recent months, urged Republicans to put aside their destructive agenda. But, in this speech, he finally conceded that the party has demonstrated no interest in the values of compromise and realism. Even Ronald Reagan, who raised taxes in multiple budget deals, "could not get through a Republican primary today," Mr. Obama said. While Democrats have repeatedly shown a willingness to cut entitlements and have agreed to trillions in domestic spending cuts, he said, Republicans won't agree to any tax increases and, in fact, want to shower the rich with even more tax cuts.
Ronald Regan agreed to raising taxes in return for what from the Democrats?
Spending cuts. In fact as I recall, his deal was 1 1/2 to 2 times the spending cuts to the tax increases. Guess what never happened?
That's right – spending cuts.
So call it a lesson learned. What the GOP is pointing out that until the spending cuts are implemented and take effect, there is no reason to discuss revenue increases.
That's a common sense approach that best safeguards the citizenry's money and is based on a history that says the Democrats don't keep their word about spending cuts.
I don't blame the GOP for refusing to compromise on taxes.
Finally, and I've flipped the paragraph order in the editorial, consider the NYT lede:
President Obama's fruitless three-year search for compromise with the Republicans ended in a thunderclap of a speech on Tuesday, as he denounced the party and its presidential candidates for cruelty and extremism. He accused his opponents of imposing on the country a "radical vision" that "is antithetical to our entire history as a land of opportunity."
There has been no search for compromise with President "I won". None. And it is amazing to see smaller and less intrusive government being characterized as a "radical vision" that is "antithetical to our entire history". It is the basis of our entire history up until the welfare state came into being.
"The land of opportunity" was such because of a lack of government interference, not because of it. Obama and the left continue to attempt to rewrite history in a manner in which they redefine the words and key phrases that characterized our nation differently than they'd like prior to the institution of the welfare state.
The radical vision is that which Obama, the NYT and the Democrats continue to push, not the GOP. They don't seem to understand that the majority of the American people have come to understand that we just can't afford their radical vision and that government control of more and more of our lives is not a "good thing".
If there is anyone out of touch with the American people it is Mr. 0-511. He hasn't a clue.
And neither does the New York Times editorial board.
UPDATE: A further thought sparked by a comment by The Shark. If compromise is what Obama and the Democrats really want, they've had two opportunities to actually force that or at least make the argument they attempted it. For two years the GOP House has passed a budget. The way the Congress works is the Senate then passes its version of the budget and the two houses of Congress get together and hash out the differences (known commonly as "compromise).
Except the Democratically controlled Senate hasn't passed a budget in over 1000 days. So who isn't interested in compromise, Mr. President? And why aren't you exerting a little leadership and confronting the Senate about its dereliction of duty? If "compromise" is so all fired important to you, why are you neglecting the easiest way of forcing it?

Obama budget goes 0-414 in House
So let's see, the two votes I've seen on the two Obama budgets that at least one of the houses of Congress has voted on in the past two year, neither has garnered a single vote from any legislator regardless of party.
Yesterday the House voted unanimously against President Obama's current budget. Last year the Senate went 0 for and 97 against his previous budget.
The House Democrats claim to have their own budget which closely mirrors the Obama budget deficits but differs in the details.
Oh good.
Senate Democrats have said they will not bring a budget to the floor this year, though Republicans in the chamber have talked about trying to at least force a vote on Mr. Obama's plan there as well.
Thank you Harry Reid for your strong fiscal leadership. What is it? Well over 1,000 days and Senate Democrats have yet to produce a budget.
My guess is it's Bush's fault.

Obama budget full of gimmicks and rosy assumptions
Representative Paul Ryan characterized the Obama budget as not a fiscal plan but "a political plan designed to help the President's reelection." Getting into the details seems to validate Ryan's point.
He also pointed out that the debt crisis is the most predictable crisis imaginable and the president has "punted" again with this budget. Said Ryan, "Instead of an America built to last we get an America drowning in debt."
The White House claims the Obama budget saves 4 trillion over and above the Budget Control Act. But in fact, the Obama budget rides the base line and throws more taxing and spending on top of it (while claiming to save 4 trillion). Analysis of the budget shows, at best, a savings of 300 billion over 10 years.
As for an "America Built To Last", Obama approaches that in a very odd way. He goes after businesses and investors:
1. The top income rate would be raised to 39.6 percent vs. 35 percent today.
2. Under the "Buffett rule," no household making over $1 million annually would pay less than 30 percent of their income in taxes.
3. Between now the end of a second Obama term, Obama proposes $707 billion in "net deficit reduction proposals." Of that amount, only 16 percent is spending cuts.
4. The majority of small business profits would be taxed at 39.6 percent vs. 35 percent today.
5. The capital gains rate would rise to 25.0 percent (including the Obamacare surtax and deduction phase out) from 15 percent today.
6. The double-tax on corporate profits (including dividends) would increase to 64 percent based on the statutory corporate tax rate (58 percent using the effective tax rate), easily the highest among advanced economies.
7. The double tax on corporate profits (including capital gains) would increase to 51 percent (44 percent using the effective tax rate), also among the highest among advanced economies.
Those details alone are a basis for declaring his budget "dead on arrival" at Congress. These new taxes would take the tax revenue as a share of GDP to 20.1 percent in 2022. The historical average is 18 percent. In a time of deep recession, when government should be proposing economic, tax, labor and trade policies to create jobs and move the economy in a positive direction, Obama's budget proposes to do exactly the opposite. The attack on small business, as well as corporations, points to a president out of touch with the problems of the economy. He claims to save 4 trillion on debt with these policies but in fact, his budget proposals add 6.7 trillion to the debt over the next 10 years and the debt-to-GDP ratio is predicted to be 74.2 percent this year and 76.5 percent in 2022.
And here's the bottom line truth about policies such as Obama is pursuing:
Corporate taxes are paid by consumers in higher prices and by workers in lower wages – so much for the promise not to increase taxes on those making less than $250,000. Every good tax economist knows this, but the president chooses to ignore reality and demagogue the issue.
Given that, how does the White House justify such policies? Well, it simply makes up a rosy forecast for the future, that's how. 3.4 percent in 2015, 4.1 percent in 2017 and 3.9 percent in 2018. As James Pethokoukis points out:
The U.S. economy has only seen a run like that three times in the past four decades.
Yet we're supposed to believe that we'll come roaring out of one of the longest and deepest recessions since the Great Depression with taxes focused mostly on business at a higher than historical rate? Not likely.
Meanwhile we're being told by the President's Chief of Staff that it is all the Republican's fault that we don't have a budget out of the Senate. Mistakenly claiming that it takes 60 votes to pass a budget, he points to the Republican Senators as the obstructionists.
Of course, on budget matters, it only takes a simple majority. And there are 53 Democratic Senators. If you recall, the Senate minority leader, Republican Mitch McConnell introduced and got votes on two budgets last year – the Ryan budget, voted down by Democrats and President Obama's budget which was voted down 97-0. Harry Reid, however, has introduced no budget in over 1,000 days.
And the gimmicks:
At issue is how the government projects spending and deficits going forward. Of the $4 trillion in deficit reduction claimed by the White House, $3 trillion would come from a combination of tax increases and spending cuts. Another $900 billion would come from domestic spending caps agreed to with Republicans last year to resolve the impasse over raising the nation's statutory borrowing limit.
But if Congress and the president did nothing, spending would actually fall by $2 trillion under current law. That is because automatic cuts to defense and nondefense programs totaling $1.2 trillion are already set to go in force in 2013. The Obama budget assumes those cuts will not happen. The president also assumes that sharp cuts to reimbursement rates for doctors treating Medicare patients will never be enforced, but the budget does not detail how those scheduled cuts will be prevented.
Republicans say that effectively negates $522 billion over 10 years, since Congress will have to figure out how to pay for the so-called Medicare doc fix.
Republicans also protest that Mr. Obama is "saving" nearly $1 trillion by not spending over the coming decade what the United States has spent each year on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So the Obama savings are built on assuming the "Doc Fix" won't be made and that war spending will remain at the current level (even with the withdrawal from Iraq and the coming withdrawal from Afghanistan) for 10 years – something obviously not the case. He's built his 4 trillion in "savings" on 1 trillion in tax increases, 2 trillion on spending cuts already enacted into law (sequestration), 1 trillion assuming war spending will remain level for 10 years. Meanwhile most of his spending cuts come from where? The military, of course.
Finally, remember this?
"This is big," wrote White House director of new media Macon Phillips in a February 23, 2009 blog post, "the President today promised that by the end of his first term, he will cut in half the massive federal deficit we've inherited. And we'll do it in a new way: honestly and candidly."
Indeed, President Obama did make that promise that day, saying, "today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we've long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay — and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control."
This budget does none of the above. In fact, it's not even close. There are no "difficult decisions" included. There are now "challenges" faced. As Rep. Ryan said, Obama has again "punted".
This is indeed the most predictable crisis imaginable and again, the man who claimed he would do what is necessary to fix the problem has once again kicked the can down the road.

The defense budget
Here's a little fact to keep in mind when considering the current cuts to spending at DoD (and let's be clear, there is nothing wrong with appropriate cuts to defense spending), besides all the other ramifications it promises:
Defense accounts for less than 20 percent of the federal budget but already exceeds 50 percent of deficit-reduction efforts. And for every dollar the President hopes to save in domestic programs, he plans on saving $128 in defense.
And that's without the looming sequestration cuts (keep in mind, most war fighting costs are not included in the budget) of another half trillion dollars.
Or said another way, the administration has decided that it will attempt to cut spending primarily with cuts to national defense. There is no serious program afoot to cut back the myriad of other government agencies and branches. In fact, many are expanding (see EPA, IRS, etc.).
As for sequestration, Democrats are bound and determined to see it through, because, you know, national defense is less important than winning an ideological struggle.
Charles Hoskinson of POLITICO's Morning Defense reports (btw, if you don't subscribe to it, you should):
BUT REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS are still far apart on one key issue: taxes. We caught up with SASC Chairman Levin at a breakfast Thursday and he said he's counting on public pressure to push the GOP to accept new tax revenues as part of any solution – something they've so far refused to consider. Meanwhile, Levin and other Democrats won't budge on reversing sequestration except as part of a complete package. "The dam has got to be broken on revenues, and what I believe will break it is the threat of sequestration," he said.
Shorter Levin, "we're more than willing to hold national security hostage and see it gutted to get our way on taxes".
It is rather interesting approach for an administration which is hung up on everyone paying their 'fair share'. It seems that the lion's share of what it will surely tout during the upcoming campaign as serious budget cutting, will come from the one Constitutionally mandated duty it has – national defense.
As for all the programs that have a future funding liability of 200 trillion dollar?

The Gang of Six is back
Gangs of anything are rarely good things. And when it comes to the Senate's Gang of Six, that caution is doubly true. Today the Gang proposed a bipartisan deficit plan to which the president–eager to kick the deficit can down the road past the 2012 election–gave his qualified approval. There is only this summary (PDF) available at the moment, and there is much to digest.
The good news is that there is at least some sanity in it.
- Personal and corporate income taxes would be reduced to a top rate of 29%.
- The Alternative Minimum Tax–which has turned into a horrific taxation burden–will be eliminated.
- The CLASS Act provision of Obamacare would be repealed.
The bad news–and there's always bad news with these guys–is that the budget reduction portion of it is notional. As usual in Washington, it calls "cuts" what the rest of us would call "reductions in the rate of spending increases". In other words, spending isn't actually reduced at any point, they just promise not to spend as much as they previously said they would. The main problem points include:
- None of the plan's "spending caps" apply to entitlement programs, only discretionary spending. So the 800-pound gorilla of the budget remains untouched.
- Reform tax expenditures for health, charitable giving, homeownership, and retirement. These aren't expenditures! They are allowing you to keep your money for IRAs, 401(k)s, Mortgage interest, etc. So, that sounds…ominous. Especially since the plan assumes that these, and similar reforms will net an additional $1 trillion in revenue.
- No reform at all of Medicare of Medicaid.
- A politically-imposed requirement to use the Chained-CPI as an inflation measure, presumably to cut down on cost-of-living increases, as the Chained-CPI understates inflation even more than the current CPI does.
- Requires the tax code to become more "progressive", so you can expect serious increases in Capital Gains taxes.
- No Social Security reform at all, unless there's 60 votes for it in the Senate, i.e., sponsors for such reform prior to its submittal to the Senate for consideration. So, essentially, never.
There's no information at all on how big or expensive government will be, say 10 years down the road. No information on how strict the spending caps will be, making me expect another Gramm-Rudmann deal: Good on paper, ineffective in practice.
Basically, this plan, so far as I can tell, contains some eye-candy on income taxes to draw in the supply-siders, with the actual deficit reduction portion sounding…sketchy. Or in the case of entitlements, by far the source of most federal spending, non-existent.

Vintage Film Reel Clock
Happy Friday! Here's a fun and easy weekend craft using a vintage film reel, a map and a craft store clock movement.
I had this 8mm film reel in its can sitting around for over a year knowing that since its movie days were long gone, I'd reinvent and give it a new life some day. Well, that day arrived this week and crafters, here's how ya do it.
You'll need:
- Film reel (mine is a 5″ diameter reel) – scour your local antique markets or Ebay
- A clock movement – I used a 3/8″ clock movement from Michaels Craft Store
- A 1/2″ Forstner drill bit – this bit drills a perfectly round hole and can be purchased at any hardware store. It looks like this.
- E-6000 Adhesive
- Spray Adhesive
- Map or any decorative paper
- X-Acto Knife
Here's how ya do it:
- Remove the reel from the can and set aside.
- Drill a hole in the center of the can base. Eventually you will nest the reel inside of this part of the container.
- Determine the diameter of the inside of the can base and cut a circle out of an old map or decorative paper and apply spray adhesive to the back of the paper. Then place it inside the can base. Use an X-Acto knife to cut out the center hole in the paper – the hole you drilled in the can base will serve as your template.
- Glue and nest the reel into the can base. Let dry a couple of hours.
- Follow the instructions on the clock movement to remove the clock arms. Then, from the back of the can base, insert the clock movement through the back of the can and through the center hole of the reel. Use adhesive to glue the clock movement to the back of the can and let dry.
- Reattach the clock movement arms to the movement shaft which is now sticking through the center of the reel. Note to crafters, to give my clock a little pop, I painted mine orange.
- Glue the can base to the container lid. Let dry and your done!
It may seem like a lot of steps but this project is easy and fun. Enjoy and happy crafting!

To Jim @ (Inland Empire) Hot Springs,
Well five and a half years ago I bought a Hot Springs Spa and the model was a "Sovereign". It is the best money I have ever spent in my life. Like I said, in the five and a half years, I have not missed more than twenty days. I am in it EVERY night. As you get older your body is not the same as it was when you were younger. You have more aches and pains such as stiff muscles and arthritis. You need to find something to help relive the pain and stiffness other than pain pills. Well I found my relief - it's a Hot Springs Spa, the "Sovereign".
Just before I go to bed I sit in the spa for maybe ten or fifteen minutes. I have the temperature set at 104 degrees (I like it hot). When I get out of the spa I can move my body really good and my arthritis pain is temporally somewhat gone. It is not a cure for my arthritis but it sure helps. When I get in bed I'm relaxed. I don't ache and get a good nights sleep... -R. Roberts - Yucaipa, CA

The prostate gland is about the size of a walnut and surrounds the neck of a man's bladder and urethra--the tube that carries urine from the bladder. It is partly muscular and partly glandular, with ducts opening into the prostatic portion of the urethra. It is made up of three lobes: a center lobe with one lobe on each side.
As part of the male reproductive system, the prostate gland's primary function is to secrete a slightly alkaline fluid that forms part of the seminal fluid, a fluid that carries sperm. During male climax (orgasm), the muscular glands of the prostate help to propel the prostate fluid, in addition to sperm that was produced in the testicles, into the urethra. The semen then leaves the body out through the tip of the penis during ejaculation.

This recipe started out as an attempt to healthify mac and cheese by using squash as a filler and cheese replacement. (It was also an attempt to put a small dent in the many squash we currently have decorating the house in order to make room for much-due Christmas decorations.) …

This is the second article in a six-part series about the case of Joseph Peter Miller (1814-1895).
The first article introduced our challenge. The next four articles present our research about important aspects of the work involved in the case. The sixth article critiques our work program.
Links to the full series follow.
a. OooO, Joe. Could this be a match made in (wiki) heaven?
b. Research Part 1 - Joseph Peter Miller takes a bride
c. Research Part 2 - Sticky Dates and Aha! Moments
d. Research Part 3 - "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"
e. Research Part 4 - Stories of Christmas Past
f. Wacky, wiki wonders
Note: The four research articles are also intended to provide examples to technologists who are working to develop evidence models that support the research process.
Joseph Peter Miller takes a bride
"If you search for 'facts' among the 'facts,' you will often miss the evidence."
-- Humble Bear
-- Humble Bear
The target of our Oh, Joe! Miller-mystery is Joseph Peter Miller, born 5 July 1814, died 1895, married 1835 at Stark County, Ohio, to Rebecca Thoma, the daughter of Jacob and Nancy (Tomlinson) Thoma. We want to identify Joseph Peter Miller's parents and prove whether or not he is the son of Peter and Mary (Stewart) Miller, Joseph Miller born 6 August 1814.
Yes, we want to know if a Joseph Miller born 5 July 1814 is the same Joseph Miller who was born 6 August 1814.
This is why folks prefer not to sit with the family historian at holiday dinners.
We had all been working from the known to the unknown, so that at the outset, there were really two sets of research materials. The materials were mostly organized such that distinct identities were apparent for both Joseph Miller and Joseph Peter Miller.
Jack Stover had been working back in time. He was using a certain body of evidence about Joseph Peter Miller, his wife and children to connect Joseph Peter Miller to a set of parents.
My side of the research group had been working from a good base of information about Peter Miller, his wives and children to extend those families forward in time.
Our files contained only some of the same resources. In the process of posting and commenting about the materials, everyone benefited from what had been our different perspectives. We were able to spot more clues (and more inconsistencies). This led to learning more about the source materials, and it paved the way to further extend the research.
Logic among the chaos
Our objective was to take a fresh approach to the separate evidence about the two distinct identities, Joseph Miller. We began with the most compelling evidence and progressed to that which was the most challenging (generally, the most in conflict).
If the most compelling evidence had turned out to be less so, we might have rethought our research plan. That was not the case, and …
Things began on an up-note
The marriage was recorded, but the bride's name, "Rebecka Toma" has been indexed as Lonca. Also, the indexed location calls out Canton (Ohio), though that detail was not found in the record.
The 1835 news item called both Joseph Peter Miller and his wife "of Paris township."
Paris township is the location of the farm that Peter Miller purchased in 1816; it is where he lived in 1835. In 1840, Peter sold 101 acres of the farm to son-in-law, George Coblentz, after which time Peter moved to a smaller Paris farm. He died at Paris in 1845 and is buried there. (For more details on these facts, see Clifford T. Wig, Canton, Ohio, "Family Tree of Daniel Miller and Lucinda Baker," 1986, FHL film no. 1321475, item 8.)
The Neighboring Farm
Next up was some "oh-so-sweet-I-want-one" family tradition about Joseph and Rebecca (Thoma) Miller, written by their grandson. In 1954, John I Miller wrote, "... grandfather ... was born in Stark County .... his father [was] Peter Miller ... Grandmother, Rebecca Thoma was born on a farm neighboring the Miller farm. She was the only girl grandpa ever went with and he was her first and only sweetheart."
Using Stark County deed indexes and deeds, we traced the ca1835 locations of the Miller and Thoma farms at Paris township. We also compared our research specifically about the Peter Miller farm to similar research conducted in the 1980s by Clifford T. Wig and presented in "The family Tree of Daniel Lucinda (Baker) Baker" (1986; 31 pp.).
Peter Miller purchased all but 15 acres of this farm (94.66 acres) in 1816; he owned the farm continuously until 1840.
The Thoma farm was situated on land acquired by patent deed issued in 1812 to Jacob Thoma's father, George, and news items of the day indicate the family did settle early at Paris Township.
One Miller farm is never enough
The 1840 U.S. census index at Ancestry.com contains entries for more than 2,000 Miller households. There were almost 100 such households reported at Stark County. Many of those Miller families owned land at 1840, and even more had owned land there at one time.
Our research about the neighboring farm came to be focused on a zone around the Thoma property. Their farm was located in the northwest quadrant of Section 10, Paris Township, and we researched about Sections 2-4 and 8-11. That zone was later expanded to include Section 15, where Joseph Peter Miller may have owned land, 1837-38. The graphic below shows where Paris Township is located within Stark County. Our focused geographic research zone is highlighted in red.
Other Miller neighbors and extended Miller kin appeared in the early land records. The graphic below is representative of the parcels sold under patent deeds. The location of Jacob Thoma's 1835 farm is highlighted in pink on the graphic; the 1835 location of Peter Miller's property appears highlighted in blue.
The parcels highlighted in yellow represent patents issued to a Miller, someone married to a Miller or someone related to a Miller by an identifiable extended kinship.
We worked with Stark County's "Range Record" collection, and some of this work continues today. The range records do not contain as much information as the actual deeds, but more contextual detail than might be found in a deed index. Each set of records contains the transactions for a given township. The entries are likely arranged by recording date, but a general chronology is apparent and the records are easy to work with. From these county range records, researchers are able to track most of the changes in land ownership that occurred over time.
Dust Bunnies
Like dust bunnies. The more we worked with the Stark County maps, land records, census, and other materials, the more Miller and kin we identified about the area of the Thoma farm.
The orange and green highlights in the graphic to the left indicate just how many other farms our work identified.
Many of the land owners could be further identified as the extended kin of Peter Miller (orange highlights). The names of those owners included George Baum, Simon and his brother, Anthony Miller, Jr., and the Freed and Pincheon families.
The green highlights in the graphic represent the land interests of Michael Miller and his son-in-law, Samuel Bosserman, both of whom acquired their Paris land by patent (Samuel, in 1812; Michael, in 1814).
Michael Miller's Paris Township patent was located in the southeast quadrant of Section 3; Samuel Bosserman's, at Section 4--their interests straddled the northern boundary of the Thoma property (pink highlight on the graphic).
About Michael Miller
For our purpose, we identified this early Paris Township land owner as Michael Miller of Nimishillen Township, who left a will dated 1817.
The will named wife Mary, daughters Catherine and Mary, and sons Jacob, Jonathan, David, Michael and Joseph. The executors were son-in-law Samuel Bosserman and son Jacob Miller.
Separately, Samuel Bosserman married 1812, at Stark County, to Mary Miller.
The will did not provide much indication about the children's ages, including no mention of "minor heirs." As an apparent widow, one Mary Miller resided Nimishillen at 1820. There were minor children in that household, but none recorded under the age of 10 (thus none born after 1810). The household included four free white males, one aged between 10 and 16, and the others, all aged 16-26. Two females resided in the home, one age 16 to 26 and the other, aged 45 and older.
Before 1830, Michael Miller's patent land had been sold to Jacob Walker, with whom the title remained for many years. Working principally from Stark County tax records, it seemed likely that several of Michael Miller's sons had property interests before 1825 at Paris Township, but not the son Joseph. It at least seemed Joseph might have been (could have been) the youngest of Michael's children or so reported in the 1820 census of the widow.
Our work about the area of Stark County did not much further identify the Joseph Miller who was Michael's son. That not much was known about Joseph Miller, the other, changed how we came to weigh different bits of evidence contributing to a conclusion.
Learning about the other Joseph, however, did not negate that Joseph Peter Miller was likely "of Paris township" at the time of his marriage, and that indeed, the farm of Peter Miller (?1779-1845) had adjoined the farm of Jacob Thoma, where Joseph Peter Miller's wife was raised.
Of note: Our many thanks to Stephanie M. Houck and others in the Stark County District Library, Genealogy Division, for the professional assistance we received, especially in the course of our land record research.

National Coal Council Study Finds CO2-Based Enhanced Oil Recovery From Coal Benefits Environment, Energy Security And Economy
The National Coal Council (NCC) today presented the U.S. Department of Energy with the results of a comprehensive study requested by U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu. The study, "Harnessing Coal's Carbon Content to Advance the Economy, Environment and Energy Security," concludes that widespread deployment of carbon dioxide capture and utilization (CCUS) technologies at coal-based power and liquid fuels production plants could help increase domestic oil production by more than 3.5 million barrels a day for 40-plus years. The Council's findings are based on contributions from more than 60 leading energy experts in coordination with the National Petroleum Council. Since 2001, the Council has conducted six major carbon dioxide (CO2) management studies for a series of U.S. Energy Secretaries. In this recent report, the Council evaluated the potential market for using CO2 captured from the existing and newly constructed U.S. coal-based electricity fleet and potential coal-to-liquids (CTL) plants as a resource for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. EOR technology has successfully increased U.S. oil production for nearly half a century.

In a partnership with Tate, BJP iPhone app users can now get two tickets for the price of one, for the blockbuster William Klein + Daido Moriyama exhibition
Author: Olivier Laurent
11 Oct 2012 Tags: Tate modernBjp
"William Klein + Daido Moriyama is the first exhibition to examine the relationship between the work of William Klein, one of the 20th century's most important photographers and film-makers, and that of Daido Moriyama, the most celebrated photographer to emerge from the Japanese Provoke movement," says the Tate. "Taking as its central theme the cities of New York and Tokyo, William Klein + Daido Moriyama explores both artists' celebrated depictions of modern urban life."
The exhibition, which opened yesterday, will run until 20 January 2013. BJP has partnered with Tate Modern to offer two tickets for the price of one to all BJP iPhone app users, representing a saving of £12.70.
The offer coincides with the release of a new issue of BJP's iPhone app dedicated to Daido Moriyama's work. The iPhone app and related Moriyama issue are free to download.
The offer is available on full-price tickets for William Klein + Daido Moriyama at Tate Modern, from 10 October until 20 January 2013. It is available on presentation of a valid British Journal of Photography iPhone app digital voucher, at Tate Modern ticket desks only.
The William Klein + Daido Moriyama exhibition is open every day from 10am to 6pm, and until 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. For more details about the exhibition, visit the Tate website. To download BJP's iPhone app, visit the App Store.

DialMyCalls Launches SMS Reply Service, Two Way Text Messaging
DialMyCalls is pleased to announced that we now offer our customers the ability to create an SMS reply service - most commonly known as two-way text messaging or inbound texting.
Along with our voice broadcasting
services, we have offered text message alerts for quite some time
now. Those text message alerts just got a complete overhaul as we now
offer the ability to set up an SMS reply service (2 Way SMS). What
exactly is two-way text messaging and how can it benefit you and your
business or organization?
An SMS reply service, otherwise known
as two-way text messaging allows you to send out thousands of text
messages and then receive replies to those messages within your
DialMyCalls control panel. Let's use a church in our example at how
this brand new inbound texting service can be extremely beneficial.
Your church is throwing a charity
picnic over the weekend and you want to text message your entire
congregation. If you already have a DialMyCalls account then you
should have your churchgoers' phone numbers already imported into
your contact list. Once you make sure you have enough credits to send
everyone a text message (1 credit = 1 140 character text message)
then you will need to sign up for our inbound text messaging service
- it only costs $4.99/month for an unlimited amount of SMS replies)
Upon adding the new two-way text
messaging service to your DialMyCalls account, you are now ready to
go. Write up a text message that you would like to send out to your
entire church congregation, for example: "We are hosting a charity
picnic this Sunday at our church, please reply if you are coming and
what you are able to bring." Since you just signed up for our new
inbound text message feature, you will now start receiving replies
from everyone that you sent your message to.
All your church members have to do is
simply reply to your text message and the results will show up in
your DialMyCalls control panel. You can now keep track of how many
people will be attending your charity picnic as well as who is
bringing what!
Don't waste any time, sign up for the
brand new SMS Reply Service, Two-Way Text Messaging (Inbound Texting) and start reaping
the benefits today!
