I love this topic. Let's see where do we begin. I guess I have to laugh every time I see some guy wearing a Jeff George jersey, and yes I have seen a few every damn year. Of course Moss jerseys sold like hot cakes and we all know what that load of used baby batter did to us, so fuck him as he is officially off of my Christmas Card list, and what about the guys that threw out cash on DeAngelo Hall like Juan. Man I know he was hating that shit. And of course I went out and bought a custom #28 Wilson jersey for $260. The only difference from me and Juan getting screwed on Jerseys this last year is that my last name is Wilson so I'll still wear mine! HA!!!This year I'm going to have a custom Lester Hayes #37 made. I'm tired of waiting for Mitchell and Ness to do it.

One of the biggest decisions for Ward County voters next Tuesday comes near the end of the ballot--the yes-or-no vote to approve an additional half-cent sales tax to be collected throughout the county, including retail businesses in Kenmare, Berthold, Donnybrook and Carpio.
10/31/12 (Wed)
Ward County Courthouse . . . A portion of the funds raised
through the half-cent sales tax would go toward renovation
of the current courthouse (above). The new sales tax would
also go toward construction of a new county office building,
expansion of the jail, and repairs to county roads and bridges.
In service for 84 years . . . The current courthouse was built
in 1929 at a cost of $450,000. The Ward County Jail was added
to the courthouse in 1984 with a capacity of 86 inmates in 56 cells.
By Caroline Downs
One of the biggest decisions for Ward County voters next Tuesday comes near the end of the ballot--the yes-or-no vote to approve an additional half-cent sales tax to be collected throughout the county, including retail businesses in Kenmare, Berthold, Donnybrook and Carpio.
Money generated from this sales tax would have a specific purpose to fund construction of a county office building, renovation of the current courthouse, expansion of the jail, and repairs to roads and bridges throughout the county that were damaged by river and overland flooding in 2011.
The question is listed as Ward County Measure 2012-01 on the ballot and includes a timetable for the tax from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022.
Kenmare city council member Chuck Leet serves on the Citizen's Committee that assisted the Ward County Commission in developing plans for the measure. He supports the measure, given the current demands on the county services. "Nobody wants to see tax increases," he said, "but in this situation, Ward County is up against a wall."
That wall includes spending $330,000 a year of property taxes to rent office space on the north side of Minot just to house Ward County Social Services. That wall also involves an overcrowded jail facility that often has to release individuals arrested for misdemeanors waiting for their first court appearance, and cramped judicial and States Attorney's offices without any privacy for individuals using those services.
Leet took one of the public tours of the county facilities offered in September. "There are people sitting on top of people in that courthouse," he said. "When you go through there, you find out what they're putting up with for space. The jail is packed. They have people sleeping on the floor in the dayroom, and the whole system is so overloaded with the population we have."
The increase in the county's population is a continuing trend, according to the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency, from 58,800 in 2000 to 61,600 in 2010 to an estimated 77,600 by 2020.
"With our population increase, there's a demand for more services," Leet said. "But those departments can hardly do their jobs now, and they cannot add employees because there is no room for them. Right now, I would have to say they're all doing a heck of a job under the circumstances."
Ward County Commissioner John Fjeldahl of Berthold said the commissioners unanimously approved this measure for the ballot. Like Leet, he noted the crowded jail conditions and the demands on the county's court system.
"We have had judges added in the past six years," he said, "and there will probably be another judge or two seated in this district soon."
Fjeldahl believes a sales tax is more equitable way to raise the money needed by the county, as opposed to a bond issue voters rejected in 2006 to address the same projects. That proposal would have relied on property taxes for funding.
"With our demographics in the county right now, this is a much fairer way to fund [these projects]," he said. "We have a lot of residents living in temporary situations, but who need county services."
Dan Deaver, a farmer and rancher from the Berthold area, joined the Citizen's Committee to assist the Ward County Commission with this project. He admitted to voting against the 2006 bond issue specifically because it relied on property taxes. "If projects like that need to be funded, it should be with a sales tax," he said. "To me, it's a fairer tax. Just about everybody uses the courthouse at some point."
Deaver also took one of the county facility tours, saying the situations in the jail and courtrooms convinced him of the needs.
"The courthouse was built in 1929 and at that time, they built two courtrooms," he said.
He continued by saying five courtrooms are necessary now, along with offices for each judge's staff. He was especially concerned with the juvenile court set-up. "That's in the basement, with just one hallway to the courtroom," he said. "One hallway in and out. It's not user-friendly."
He continued, "If this would pass, they could build six or eight cells to house juveniles, because they have to be kept away from the adults. The juvenile court would have new jail space and a new courtroom in the basement."
Tax ends when
$39.3 million is raised
DLA/JLG Architects provided the Ward County Commission and the Citizen's Committee with generous estimates for the project costs, including a new 65,000 square foot office building with space for Ward County Social Services, Emergency Management, Emergency Operations Center, Commissioners' Chambers, Extension Services, Veteran's Services, Auditor's and Treasurer's offices, Recorder, Superintendent of Schools, and Tax Equalization, and a price tag of $15.3 million.
Courthouse renovations would require about $3.5 million and provide space for the overcrowded conditions in the court system and States Attorney's offices.
The Ward County jailhouse expansion is expected to add 42 additional cells, with capacity for 84 more inmates, at an estimated cost of $10.5 million.
Finally, an additional $10 million would be allocated to infrastructure repairs for the county's roads and bridges still damaged from last year's flooding. Fjeldahl said a portion of that money could be made available to townships as well.
A total of $39.3 million would be collected through the half-cent sales tax. If that amount is collected before the end of the ten years scheduled for the sales tax, the tax is terminated.
Commissioners estimated between $6 and $7 million would be collected annually through the tax, at current spending levels.
"When the money is raised, the tax is over," said Fjeldahl. "For me, that's important."
Fjeldahl explained the county commissioners also intend to seek state and federal assistance with the projects, especially the jail expansion and courthouse renovations. "If we get any grants, that would count against the tax, too, and help it terminate quickly," he said. "If we collect the money within four years, the tax goes away."
Fjeldahl wants voters to know a cap has been established for the half-cent tax, which would be the amount collected on a $2,500 purchase. "The most anyone would pay is $12.50 on a single purchase," he said, "and all current exemptions for sales taxes would be exempt from this tax as well."
Deaver appreciates the "sunset" aspect of the tax. "This tax is point-specific for a project," he said, adding that the county commissioners could not simply vote to extend the tax. County residents would have to vote again.
"If [the commissioners] did want to extend it, at least I can vote on it to go away," added Deaver.
Pay through sales tax
or property tax
As the spokesman for the Citizen's Committee, Deaver has been making the rounds among several groups and organizations before next Tuesday to talk about the need for the half-cent sales tax. Meanwhile, Leet has been speaking with individuals and groups in the Kenmare area. Both men have been concerned about the lack of widespread information about the county measure, but Leet explained Ward County is prohibited by law from advertising.
"Finally, our committee received donations from the private sector for this," he said, adding that newspaper and radio ads are currently running to promote the sales tax.
As part of their message, Leet and Deaver emphasize that whether or not the measure passes, the county will be forced to proceed with the necessary construction and renovations. "I don't think people realize just how much the county takes care of," said Leet. "If this doesn't pass, the county will go ahead on these projects in small increments and add the costs to property taxes."
Given the projections that Ward County's population will continue to grow and place higher demands on county services, voters have the opportunity to influence the county's direction on these projects when they go to the polls Tuesday.
For Fjeldahl, a property and business owner himself, the choice is clear. "We would be collecting from a broader spectrum of people in our county, rather than just from a group of property owners," he said. "The issues of the jail and roads are something we cannot ignore. If we do not address these issues through this tax, then we will have to address them through property taxes, and I know people don't like that."

The comments left on message boards and Twitter suggest otherwise. But Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni provided caution on why he considered Kobe Bryant's practice this weekend as just a "first step" in his seven-month recovery from his torn left Achilles tendon.
Bryant practiced Saturday against no defense in strategy and shooting drills, and then advanced Sunday to some light shooting drills.
Could Bryant return when the Lakers play Friday against the Golden State Warriors?
"I don't think so," D'Antoni said. "That's very premature."
The Lakers will have today off, but will Bryant return Tuesday in a full-contact practice?
"I don't know," D'Antoni said. "Those will be full-blown practices, probably certain areas of it. But it's too early to tell."
The Lakers haven't offered any timetable on Bryant's return. But D'Antoni sounded skeptical Bryant would play before Thanksgiving.
"I have no idea. You're dealing with if he's sore today or if there's a setback tomorrow," D'Antoni said. "We need to be cautious. We just better be cool and chill out a bit."
That's because D'Antoni made very little of Bryant's first practice.
"All the players went about 60 percent," D'Antoni said. "Nobody was taped. There wasn't any real contact. It wasn't a normal practice."
Did Bryant show anything?
"Nothing more than normal. It's a normal process with an injured guy coming back," D'Antoni said. "Obviously with him on the floor, there is a presence. But we just did so little, it's hard to tell so far. He went at a pretty good pace. He surprised people that the pace was really good."
"He did some drives and jumping," D'Antoni said. "But without anyone on him."
Any dunking?
"Two 360′s and he threw the ball off to the side of the wall and dunked it one time, D'Antoni joked before trailing off again.
The excitement has built surrounding Bryant's return because of what he could do for a fledgling Lakers team. But that hasn't matched what he actually has shown on the floor just yet.
"The name on the back of his jersey, that's where it starts and stops right now," D'Antoni said. "He's a presence, no doubt. We need that presence at the end of games. We got games to win and there's going to be a bunch of them before he comes back."
Bryant's done his business by exercising patience.
"Kobe's a pretty intelligent guy," D'Antoni said. "It doesn't surprise me. He's going to try to do it right. Your will can't trump what the doctor and trainer says. You do have to have patience."
Meanwhile, D'Antoni stressed the Lakers need to have that mindset both with Bryant's recovery and how the Lakers perform even when he returns.
"The focal point will change totally," D'Antoni said. "We won't search about who we're going to at the end of games. There will be some struggles early. There's no way he comes back with everything. But at the same time, his 10 percent is better than most people."
Sitting out
Time Warner Cable SportsNet's analyst Stu Lantz missed the Lakers' game Sunday against Detroit at Staples Center because of a head cold that has affected his voice. James Worthy joined play-by-play announcer Bill Macdonald for the telecast. Lantz is expected to return Friday when the Lakers host Golden State at Staples Center
Which foot?
D'Antoni disclosed backup small forward Xavier Henry has nursed a foot injury. Both D'Antoni and Henry declined to say which foot has bothered him, but he played Sunday against Detroit.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The American Red Cross, Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region and Penn State Athletics will partner on the fourth annual Beaver Stadium blood drive from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 3 in the Mount Nittany Club in Beaver Stadium.
"Miss out on this blood drive and you might be 40 shades of green with envy when two friends travel to Ireland next August to see the Nittany Lions play the University of Central Florida in the 2014 Croke Park Classic," commented Marianne Spampinato, Red Cross communications manager.
She explained that everyone who comes in to donate at the Mount Nittany Club blood drive will be entered to win a six-night trip for two to Dublin.
Also, a commemorative T-shirt will be given to every presenting donor while supplies last; shirts are courtesy of Glenn O. Hawbaker Inc. Refreshments will be offered by Pizza Mia and Happy Valley Catering.
With the Beaver Stadium blood drive occurring the week after Thanksgiving, strong donor turnout will help boost blood supplies during the holiday season.
"Regardless of the time of year, nationally we must collect approximately 15,000 blood donations every day," Spampinato noted. "The need for blood remains constant, throughout the year, but busier schedules, holiday travel and other seasonal activities can leave little time to give blood. Inclement weather can also negatively impact donor turnout.
"Every two seconds, a patient in the United States needs a blood transfusion. Your donation can give a patient another holiday season with loved ones."
Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients and those receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all need blood products.
According to Spampinato, the trip for two to Ireland includes airfare, hotel accommodations, breakfast, dinner most evenings, local transportation, game tickets and excursions in the surrounding area.
"We deeply appreciate these local businesses and organizations that have made this year's grand prize possible – Collegiate Athletic Travel, Aris Corp., National Penn Bank, Penn State Student Red Cross Club and HFL Corp.'s Country Inn & Suites, Comfort Suites and Sleep Inn of State College," she said.
Appointments for this blood drive are strongly encouraged. Individuals can make an appointment by clicking the "Make a Blood Donation Appointment" link at www.redcrossblood.org and using Sponsor Code PSU or ZIP code 16801. Donors may also call 800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767).
Most healthy people age 17 and older, or 16 with parental consent in Pennsylvania, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements.
Those with specific eligibility questions should call the Red Cross Donor Client Support Center at 866-236-3276. Many donors are eligible to give blood every 56 days.
Individuals may also follow the Red Cross on Twitter at www.twitter.com/redcrossGAR.
The Greater Alleghenies Region directly serves hospitals, patients and donors in a 100-county area in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, with more than five-dozen blood products and related services, and also supports blood needs experienced by patients elsewhere in hospitals served through Red Cross Blood Services.

After just under a week, the Jets look close to securing a deal with their new general manager, Tom Gamble.
A source with knowledge of Jets contracts told TheJetsBlog Saturday that the deal for the current Director of Player Personnel in San Francisco looks to be around three years with an option clause for a fourth and could be worth in the neighborhood of $2-3 million per year over the deal's duration. Gamble is in the New York area today meeting with the Jets and has already cancelled his next interview which was set with the Jaguars.
While the announcement might not come for a few days, the wheels are apparently moving and the Jets seem set on getting Tom Gamble in as their guy to run the personnel side of the team. Gamble was the Jets top choice coming into the process and the Jets current head coach likely appreciates the type of team that Gamble has helped Trent Baalke to build in San Francisco. Ryan and Gamble also have personal history from their days where their fathers worked together for the Eagles in Philadelphia. Even so, there were rumors early on that Gamble would want to bring Niners Defensive Line Coach Jim Tomsula with him wherever he landed. No word yet on Ryan's status.
UPDATED 2:55PM: Of course, there is the important question as to whether or not the Jets have adhered to the Rooney Rule, which states that every team must interview a minority candidate for head coaching and general manager openings. Jets reporters are starting to publicly write that the team has not made any definite decisions about Gamble, but in breach of the Rooney Rule requirement, what else are they supposed to say? As of right now, the New York Post reports that Marc Ross is scheduled to interview with the Jets on Monday. If we are right about Gamble though, it remains to be seen whether or not Ross will participate in a cursory request to fulfill the requirement for the Jets. Any announcement about Gamble might not come until after the Wildcard weekend and their minority interviews are cleared up. That said, we are sticking by our story in the absence of the Jets hiring anyone else.
Note: I don't normally break these things, so while I am 99% sure this is happening, stay tuned. More as we know it ...

Read your thread with interest rodorange. You say your ace-ten front count is fast and accurate but you lose count after 3to 5 rounds.It seems to me you either need to pratice more or maybe switch to an unbalenced count until you perfect your skill level. While the hi-opt I is a good system, if you can not follow it all the way through the shoe then it is no good, no system is.I know when I started learning to count I found it confusing having to convert from running count to true count. While you will lose some accuracy it should be made up somewhat by the fact you can keep count all the way through the shoe and help you avoid mistakes. It also should not matter where you sit at the table as far as counting goes although I also prefer to sit at the 1 or 7 spot.The main thing is dont give up.rdorange said:I've been playing blackjack now for a few years in Biloxi, LV and on cruises. Mostly the $5.00 and $10.00 minimum tables with an occasional trip to the $25.00 tables. I play using the multiple deck, dealer stands on soft 17 basic strategy and adjust my play according to some advanced play adjustments. My betting system is based on a combination of counting as long as possible and then (when I lose the count) change over to an adjusted style of progression betting. I watch for hi and lo card groups and count best I can (not so good yet). I use the Ace-Ten counting trainer. My accuracy is always 100% and speed is great. When I'm in the casinos, I have to sit at first base in order to keep an accurate count. I have to move and arrange chips to keep up with the running count from round to round. I always seem to lose track after about three, four or five rounds. The count after these early rounds does not affect the (early) shoe very much. The counts seem to affect the shoe most when you get to the end of the shoe when the cards are concentrated. By that time I have long lost count! My dilemma: I'm using the hi-opt I, because it appears to be the easiest counting system to learn. Later, I will have to graduate to a more advanced system. If I try to learn a more complicated system, I'm concerned that I will be disappointed or discouraged with my progress, or the lack there of, and just quit. Is it hard to switch from one counting system to another?
PROGRESSIONIST said:never in a million years did i ever see myself counting cards. then came blackjack bluebook II into my life and things have never been the same again! thank you Fred!
rdorange said:Well, I went to Biloxi this past week. The last three trips combined, I was ahead by $900. During this two-day trip, I lost $500. I am still ahead, but I could not win on this trip to save my life! I tried to count and still had problems. I never got a positive count the whole time I was there.
I had several times at the tables when I would win and lose, but was losing more! Then eventually would lose four in a row and get up and leave. After this happened several times, I thought about a post I read recently. Is it more logical to lose four in a row and get up and change tables only to lose four in a row again, or is it more logical to stay at the same table and lose twelve in a row? That is not as likely to happen, Huh? Eventually I stayed and still was losing. The luck of the draw just wasnt there.
Getting a positive count does not guarantee you are going to win, just as a negative count does not mean you are going to lose. I had better luck on the craps table betting the dark side!
I will practice a lot more and keep on trying.
By the way, I can still use help with alternative methods for counting and tracking round to round! Thanks all!

Hugh Hefner and his wife, Kimberley, have sold their personal residence, just a hop away from the Playboy Mansion next door in Holmby Hills, for $18 million. The buyer is Daren Metropoulos, a 25-year-old entrepreneur who will be moving from Beverly Hills.
The son of equity investor C. Dean Metropoulos, he originally intended to purchase the estate for the value of its 2.3 acres but now plans to keep the 7,300-square-foot English Manor-style house. The two-story home, built in 1929, has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms and sits behind gates on a flat site that backs up to the Los Angeles Country Club.
There is a formal living room, a dining room, a library, his-and-her powder rooms and a media room with a film projector and screen that drops from the ceiling. Interior treatments include maple paneling, leaded-glass windows and a hand-carved staircase. The master suite overlooks the gardens and grounds, which include a swimming pool.
Metropoulos, who has worked with his father and older brother Evan from a young age helping reinvigorate such household brands as Chef Boyardee and Bumble Bee tuna, is a fan of muscle cars. The property includes a large motor court and a three-car garage where he can house his collection.
Holmby Hills was conceived as a development of exclusive estates by Broadway department store founder Arthur Letts. The Hefner residence was designed by Arthur R. Kelly for the sister of Arthur Letts Jr., the original owner of the Playboy Mansion. It had been listed since early March at $27,995,000.
The Hefners bought the property in 1996 for an undisclosed sum. It was priced then at $17.25 million.
Hugh Hefner, 83, is the founder of Playboy Enterprises. Kimberley Conrad Hefner, 47, was Playboy's Playmate of the Month in January 1988 and was Playmate of the Year in 1989. They have been separated for a decade.
Joyce Rey and Stacy Gottula of Coldwell Banker Previews International, Beverly Hills, had the listing. Jeffrey Hyland and Rachel Maslan of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills, represented the buyer.
Someone new is living for the city
A Los Feliz home owned by singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder has sold for $2,407,000.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house of 4,511 square feet, described as Mission-style on the Multiple Listing Service, was built in 1928. A tiki room on the bottom level of the two-story home leads to a swimming pool with a large yard, gated parking and a one-bedroom guesthouse. There are city light views, and arched windows look out onto the less-than-half-acre of grounds.
The record producer, instrumentalist and winner of 22 Grammy awards performed in January at a concert in Washington, D.C., the weekend before President Obama's inauguration and last month at Michael Jackson's memorial service at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Wonder, 59, received the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song in February. Among his early Motown hits were "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" (1970), "Superstition" (1972) and "You Are the Sunshine of My Life" (1973). He appeared on "American Idol" in 2006 and this year on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
Public records show Wonder is the owner of about a dozen residential and commercial properties in the Los Angeles area.
The listing agent was Melody A. McCully of Universal Realty, according to the MLS, and the buyer was represented by Dorothy Carter and Michael Orland, both of Keller Williams Realty, Los Feliz.
He's dancing his way back east
Actor Barry Miller's wood, stone and glass retreat in the Hollywood Hills is for sale at $2,125,000.
The 1963 home, which underwent a down-to-the-studs remodel by architect Robert Kerr early this year, has a courtyard entry with a fountain, hand-distressed walnut floors and a dramatic two-story wall of glass in the stairwell overlooking trees and a stream.
The window configurations identify the home as Kerr's design, Miller said. "It's kind of a motif the way his windows are shaped."
There are three bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. Oversized French doors open to a deck.
The actor purchased the two-story home from "The King of Queens" creator David Litt in March for $1.95 million and had been making the home his own with custom changes to the exterior, kitchen, bathrooms and lighting, among other alterations.
"I sanded off some of the rougher edges," Miller said. He used more earth tones inside and out to blend with the setting of the home, which is surrounded by oak trees and "has browns, olives and green all around it." The pine cladding on the front of the house was replaced with redwood. He also redid the fountain, replacing the royal blue tiles with grays and powder blue in keeping with the color palette.
He has enjoyed the response from neighbors. "I thought the changes were subtle, but people really do notice the difference from the previous house," he said.
Miller, 51, has had roles in "Saturday Night Fever" (1977), "The Last Temptation of Christ" (1988), "Flawless" (1999) and "The Devil and Daniel Webster" (2004).
At 27, he won Broadway's "triple crown" -- the Drama Desk Award, the Outer Circle Critics Award and the Tony Award -- for his stage debut in 1985 in "Biloxi Blues," the second part of the Neil Simon trilogy that also included "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Broadway Bound." He had a leading role as one of the five central students in the original Oscar-winning version of "Fame" (1980), directed by Alan Parker.
He is selling because he is considering relocating back East to work on a play.
"It's an actor's life," Miller said. "One minute you are living one sort of life here, and then fate steps in. I had every intention of living in the house."
Valerie Friedman of Sotheby's International Realty, Beverly Hills, is the listing agent.

The gated house was purchased in 2003 for $2,435,000.
Bowen is the ex-wife of KISS frontman Paul Stanley. Her nearly two decades of television guest appearances include spots on "Six Feet Under" in 2003, "Everybody Loves Raymond" (1997) and "Days of Our Lives" (1986-87).

John O
John O was a lovely man.
John O was a lovely man and my black and white printer in the 1980s.
There were two brilliant printers then, John O Driscol and Brian Dowling. John O printed black and white and Brian colour.
I worked with John O on all the early Yohji Yamamoto campaigns and then on Martine Sitbon and then Jil Sander and on all my portraits.
John O could print in ways that no other printer could or had ever attempted. Using hand cut masks he managed to create prints that looked so beautiful and complex you would think they could only have been possible in Photoshop, 10 years before Photoshop was invented!
He had the patience of a saint and an unflinching determination that would mean all night printing sessions were a regular occurrence.
There is something magical about an old fashioned darkroom, everything bathed in the red light, the trays of chemicals and just watching the image appear from nowhere on the wet paper. Magical and in John O's lab totally wondrous even awe inspiring.
To allow us to view and discuss the images he would rest the wet prints on an angled viewing board where they glistened and sparkled as the water ran off them.
The deepest of blacks, jutted right up against delicate smooth dove greys. Wood smoke and jet.
Depth of tone that made your head spin.
He created prints that felt like that could knock you clean over, they had such powerful visual impact.
It is a sign of any great artist and craftsman, that his or her work physically reminds you of that person, and John O's prints certainly did.
Physically John O was big man, bearded with curly light brown hair and a big strong frame.
He was easy to smile and his eyes twinkled with mischief and delight. In all those years I can never remember him being sad or cross.
I can remember his singing and I remember his laugh.
He had a huge O. Winston Link print hanging in his darkroom, which he loved. It's the picture of the train at night, caught and rendered motionless by O Winston Links 100s of carefully positioned flash bulbs. Maybe it was the huge amount of effort and care this photographer had put into his work that touched John O, as it was exactly the effort and care he would put into creating one of his stunning prints.
John O always wanted to work for the best photographers and in the 1990s he moved to New York and printed for one of the greatest photographers of all time, Irving Penn. I know he would have made his new client really happy.
John O was a lovely man.
John Driscol passed away last week from lung cancer.

First to the Finnish Line
Residing in the country where the muscle car originated, we Americans sometimes forget that our affliction with automotive power knows no boundaries. While we may have started the muscle car craze here in America, it certainly caught on quickly in other parts of the world, and Finland is no exception. This month Tero Ilola of that country reminds us that many Fins are avid automotive enthusiasts and drag racers as well, as he shares his rare find, which is a '62 Dodge Dart that just happens to be a part of Finnish racing history.
Landing a deal on this ex-race car started when Tero was visiting a "Forest Finds in Finland" website and saw pictures that someone submitted of a '62 Dart sitting in the trees in the Finnish countryside. Recognizing the car as the Dart raced in the '70s and '80s by driver Pekka "Long Tall" Penttila, Tero knew that the car had been dismantled and turned into a street car in the late '80s, and after being driven for a couple of years the car simply disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the car on the website, Tero began tracking down leads, eventually finding the location of the car and its current owner. The car had been sitting outside for some two decades, and as rumored the 440 that propelled it during its race career had been replaced with a small-block more suited to street use. Even so, much of the original equipment was there and the documentation proved this to be the car Tero remembered from the dragstrip. Knowing this car was somewhat famous as a race car in his country, and loving the look of the old Dart, he quickly made his purchase.
When it was raced, this Dart was powered by a 440 engine and equipped with a pushbutton-operated TorqueFlite transmission. The rear end was replaced with a Dana 60, and the rear wheelwells were modified to fit huge racing slicks. Up front, the brakes were converted to discs for additional stopping power. Raced in the Modified-Standard class, the car was run regularly in Finland, and captured fourth place in the 1980 national championship race.
Although the car is a little rusty and worse for wear, and much of the original drivetrain has been replaced, Tero and a member of Pekka Penttila's original team are planning to restore this Dart to its previous glory. The paint job will duplicate the black and white paint that adorned the car in its heyday, and the engine will be replaced with a 440 like it had in the '80s. Once completed, Tero plans to again drive this car on the track as well as on the streets of Finland. We congratulate Tero on his rare find and wish him luck during his restoration of this '62 Dart.

Rolith and AGC Announce Partnership to Bring Nanocoated Anti-Reflective Glass to Market
|(Nanowerk News) Rolith, Inc., the leader in developing advanced nanostructured coatings and devices, today announces partnership with Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. (AGC), one of the worlds largest glass manufacturers. The joint development agreement reflects a continued partnership between the two companies in commercializing an advanced manufacturing technology.
|Widely used glass sheets today reflect approximately four percent to eight percent of light, which is caused by sharp transition between materials with very different refractive indexes glass and air. The resulting glare is undesirable because it interferes with the human eyesight and obstructs visibility.
|The advanced anti-reflective glass being developed by Rolith and AGC is based on the moth eye approach found in nature - an array of nanostructures mimicking an insects eye. Rolith brings to the project its proprietary manufacturing method Rolling Mask lithography, which enables one to create nanostructures on large area glass panels in a cost effective manner.
|The nanostructured anti-reflective glass reduces reflections in an exceptionally wide wavelength spectrum and a wider range of viewing angles over traditional PVD thin films coated glass. Furthermore, it is also anticipated to improve environmental stability over competitive products such as polymeric nanostructured films and hybrid organic-inorganic coatings on glass.
|Through this strategic partnership we are able to deliver a truly innovative, high-performance anti-reflective glass, said Dr. Boris Kobrin, founder and CEO, Rolith. AGCs commitment demonstrates the significant progress of Roliths technology to date and together we are now positioned to accelerate development of novel advanced glass products based on our fabrication method.
|AGC has chosen Rolith for their cutting-edge technology and talented team. The strategic partnership demonstrates our confidence in Roliths capability to move forward with commercialization efforts. We look forward to continue bringing to market exceptional and innovative glass solutions, said Hiroshi Usui, general manager, AGC America, Inc.
|About Rolith, Inc
|Rolith, Inc. is developing advanced nanostructured products for consumer electronics, solar and green building markets using a proprietary nanolithography technology. Rolith was formed by Dr. Boris Kobrin, Prof. Mark Brongersma and Julian Zegelman in 2008 and is currently located in Pleasanton, CA. The company holds a comprehensive patent portfolio in the areas of nanolithography, material deposition and etch methods, as well as nanophotonic devices. Roliths strategic partners include SUSS MicroTec AG and Asahi Glass Company Ltd. Its current investors are DFJ VTB Capital Aurora, a Draper Fisher Jurvetson affiliate fund managed by VTB Capital and AGC America, Inc., the venture arm of Asahi Glass Group.
|About AGC
|AGC Group, with Asahi Glass Company Ltd. at its core, is a global solution provider for architectural, automotive and display glass, chemicals and other high-function materials and components. Drawing on more then a century of technological innovation, the Group has developed world-class core technologies in the fields including glass, chemicals and ceramics.

Change nameservers to set up Office 365 with Dreamhost
Check the Domains FAQ if you don't find what you're looking for.
Follow these instructions if you want Office 365 to manage your Office 365 DNS records for you. (If you prefer, you can manage all your Office 365 DNS records at Dreamhost.)
Add a TXT record for verification
Before you use your domain with Office 365, we have to make sure that you own it. Your ability to log in to your account at your domain registrar and create the DNS record proves to Office 365 that you own the domain.
This record is used only to verify that you own your domain; it doesn't affect anything else. You can delete it later, if you like.
To get started, go to your domains page at DreamHost by using this link. You'll be prompted to sign in.
On the Dashboard page, choose Domains, and then choose Manage Domains.
On the Manage Domains page, in the Domain section, choose DNS for the domain that you want to edit.
In the Add a custom DNS record section, in the boxes for the new record, type or copy and paste the values from the following table.
(You may have to scroll down.)
(Select the Type value from the drop-down list.)
|(Leave this field empty.)
|MS=ms XXXXXXXX
Note: This is an example. Use your specific Destination or Points to Address value here, from the table in Office 365. How do I find this?
|(This field is optional.)
Choose Add Record Now!
Wait a few minutes before you continue, so that the record you just created can update across the Internet.
Now that you've added the record at your domain registrar's site, you'll go back to Office 365 and request Office 365 to look for the record.
When Office 365 finds the correct TXT record, your domain is verified.
Choose Setup > Domains.
On the Domains page, choose the domain that you are verifying.
On the Setup page, choose Start setup.
On the Verify domain page, choose Verify.
Typically it takes about 15 minutes for DNS changes to take effect. However, it can occasionally take longer for a change you've made to update across the Internet's DNS system. If you're having trouble with mail flow or other issues after adding DNS records, see Troubleshoot issues after changing your domain name or DNS records.
Change your domain's nameserver (NS) records
To complete setting up your domain with Office 365, you change your domain's NS records at your domain registrar to point to the Office 365 primary and secondary name servers. This sets up Office 365 to update the domain's DNS records for you. We'll add all records so that email, Skype for Business Online, and your public website work with your domain, and you'll be all set.
When you change your domain's NS records to point to the Office 365 name servers, all the services that are currently associated with your domain are affected. For example, all email sent to your domain (like rob@ your_domain .com) will start coming to Office 365 after you make this change.
When you have completed the steps in this section, the only nameservers that should be listed are these four: > ns1.bdm.microsoftonline.com > ns2.bdm.microsoftonline.com > ns3.bdm.microsoftonline.com > ns4.bdm.microsoftonline.com > The following procedure will show you how to delete any other, unwanted nameservers from the list, and also how to add the correct nameservers if they are not already in the list.
To get started, go to your domains page at DreamHost by using this link. You'll be prompted to Sign in.
On the Dashboard page, choose Domains, and then choose Manage Domains.
On the Manage Domains page, in the Domain section, choose DNS for the domain that you want to edit.
In the following two steps, you will first remove all of the nameservers that are currently listed and then add the two nameservers that you need for Office 365.
In the **Change domain_name's whois nameservers ** section, delete each nameserver entry by selecting the entry and then pressing the Delete key on your keyboard.
Be sure to use the Delete key on your keyboard for this action, and not the Delete control on the screen, which has a different effect.
Type or copy and paste the values from the following table in the Nameserver 1 to Nameserver 4 boxes.
|Name Server 1
|Name Server 2
|Name Server 3 (optional)
|Name Server 2 (optional)
Choose **Set the nameservers for domain_name ! **
Your nameserver record updates may take up to several hours to update across the Internet's DNS system. Then your Office 365 email and other services will be all set to work with your domain.

50 Years of Genealogy
"Visions of the days departed, shadowy phantoms fill the brain;
They who live in history only, seem to walk the earth again."
My families' stories are now many. They started one Christmas long ago playing hide-and-seek at my granny Ewen's. My mother's family was large (mother being one of 12!), and I had more than 30 1st cousins. We would gather every Christmas day and the children were pretty much left up to their own designs while the "adults" ate. Hide-and-seek was used to occupy much of our time, and a large bedroom closet was my target. Spreading the cloths and boxes, I sought the perfect hiding place only to be surprised by a large picture of a man looking out at me. He had a round face, receding hairline, and mustache. Who in the world I thought. Besides this picture was what appeared to be saddlebags. Wow I thought, saddlebags in granny Ewen's closet! (John Wayne and Roy Rogers were big at the time). I raised the side and found a pouch of various size bottles, some with corks, some with cloth plugs, and some just empty. What in the world? There were suppose to be guns, and stirrups, and whips; but little bottles? This certainly puzzled me and I gave up my hiding spot to investigate this finding further. Granny Ewen said that the saddlebags belong to my greatgrandfather Ewen who was a doctor in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. The bottles were his medicine that he used to help people. His name was George Washington Ewen, and he was buried at Nada. Wow!, a horse riding doctor. I had to find out more. It is now more than 50 years since this hide-and-seek game. I have that picture, along with his wife's picture over my fireplace as I write this. The saddlebags have been lost, but by sharing this, they may be remembered. The story begins.

I loved your story and am so happy to see that you're blogging. I'll be reading your stories---thanks so much for making them public!!ReplyDelete
Great stories! Great writing! So sad about the saddle bags, but something that seems inconsequential at one point in time becomes important in another. So what do we save, what do we part with, and what might our grandchildren treasure?ReplyDelete
Great blog, great writing! So glad you decided to start blogging your family history to share with all of us, welcome!ReplyDelete
What do we save, what do we part with. I read once that a man (or woman) is defined by what they give their attention to. I suspect that we will leave our grandchildren what we give our attention to.ReplyDelete
Welcome to the world of genealogy blogging! You bring a lot experience to the world of research.ReplyDelete

Missoula Police Investigate Possible Home Invasion Burglary
Missoula law enforcement personnel are currently searching the area around a residence on Martindale Road, just off Expressway, for suspects in a possible home invasion burglary.
According to Missoula 9-1-1 dispatch reports from about 5:00 a.m. through 5:45 a.m. on Monday, January 13, a female resident of the home said three males and one female entered her home. She was able to escape to a neighbor's house, where she called 9-1-1.
Officers who responded to the home found both the front and garage doors open, with the suspects gone. One witness reported seeing at least two persons running down a nearby alley carrying what appeared to be backpacks.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and so far, the suspects are still at large.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Missoula Police Department at 552-6300, or Missoula Crimestoppers at 721-44-44.
