Phebe Ann Doolittle Daggett v Ethan Allen Daggett
Belle Daggett Cole v William F. Cole
A Native Daughter Abused: A Bill of Divorce in Williams County, OH (1869), 1901- see Robinson
By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 15 Jan 2013)
(This is the case that started my early divorce project)
Modern readers are all too familiar with stories of spousal abuse and divorce. Family researchers should be aware that these sociological situations are not confined to any particular time or area, but they transcend the ages and can affect the lives of several generations both in positive and negative ways. This genealogical detailing illustrates these points. I would like to thank Jean Coy Bartholomew, Alan Benjamin, Pete Daggett, and Jacque Whetro for their assistance in providing various historical and genealogical pieces of the puzzle for this story. I will first set the stage by introducing the reader to the necessary cast of characters.
Ethan Allen Daggett, the son of Orange and (possibly) Betty Sears Daggett, was born on 10 Sept 1837 in Cortland Co, NY. On 17 Mar 1863 in Wright Twp, Hillsdale Co, MI, Book C p 305, he at 27 years of age eloped with 16 year-old Phebe Ann Doolittle, the youngest child of Harmon and Martha Stubbs Doolittle. This bride and groom were both descendants of early settlers of Williams Co, OH – the Daggetts of Bridgewater Twp and the Stubbs-Doolittles of Springfield Twp. Anyone proving a direct connection to these people would be eligible for admission into First Families of Williams County, OH (FFWC).
The Orange Daggett family came to this county sometime after a sheriff's sale in 1842 at Lisle, Broome Co, NY and before the 23 Sept 1850 federal census records of Bridgewater Twp as follows: Orange (45 VT), Mariah (42 NY), Mary (16 NY), Ethan (15 NY), Lucretia (13 NY), Hannah (11 NY), and Emmaline (7/12 OH). Orange owned a fifty-acre farm three miles north of Montpelier.
A Daggett genealogy alludes to the possibility that Orange was the second son of Ichabod and Hannah Whiting Daggett with Orange born in Orange Co, VT, Orleans Co, VT, or Broome Co, NY, on 14 Apr 1804. Mariah (possibly Gleason) may have been his second wife with the mother of the first five children being Betty Sears of CT, d. bef 1849. Further speculation about this Mariah showed that there was a gap between the 1839 birth of Hannah and the Feb 1850 birth of Emmaline. It would seem she was at least the mother of Emmaline. The oldest known son of the family, Charles W. (1832 NY- aft 1880, Chicago, Cook Co, IL; mar 1 Jan 1856, Hillsdale Co, MI, Susan Marcia or Sarah A. Martin Smith) is not on the 1850 census with the rest of the family. This farm family established roots in the Bridgewater area and was found in the 1860 Federal Census: Orange (55 NY), Ethan (25 NY), Lucretia (22 NY), Charles (5 MI), and Allen (3 MI). Mariah had died in Bridgewater on 9 May 1856 @49Y 8M 3D [pos b.date of 6 Sept 1806] and was buried in Cogswell Cemetery; her tombstone inscription says "Mother" with a substantial epitaph of love and devotion.
This decade also resulted in the marriages of Orange's daughters, Mary, Lucretia, and Hannah. Mary W. (1834 NY-aft Apr 1915, Russell, KS) was first married 13 Aug 1854, Hillsdale Co, MI, to John K. Rood(e), a native of Cayuga Co, NY.

In 1884 he lived in Steele City, Nebraska; he was a farmer and a widower; he died c1911.
The two young boys, Charles and Allen, who were recorded in the Daggett household in 1860, were Mary's sons. She later married Hiram Opdycke, 10 Mar 1867, Wms Co, OH, and as his second wife Mary took on the responsibilities of rearing his children in Superior Twp plus having three children in the marriage, Heman, Wilbur, and an infant who died. Allen Roode (1857 MI-1931) was listed with the Opdycke family in the 1870 Superior Twp federal census records. Hiram served from 1866-1871 as a Williams County Commissioner. As early as 29 Dec 1864 Hiram was a delinquent taxpayer, owning lots in Bryan. By March 1876 Hiram, who had six separate mortgages on his land and a general merchandise store in Montpelier, was forced to have a Sheriff's Auction after one or more of the persons who had loaned him money, foreclosed through the courts. The Opdyckes then moved to Pella, Marion Co, Iowa and eighteen months later to Russell, Kansas. Hiram, a Civil War veteran, applied for a pension in 1890. He died on 27 Jan 1906 and his widow, Mary, made an application for a pension on 22 Apr 1906.

Rosencrans D 9 son MI-NY-Canada
In 1884 he lived in Steele City, Nebraska; he was a farmer and a widower; he died c1911.
The two young boys, Charles and Allen, who were recorded in the Daggett household in 1860, were Mary's sons. She later married Hiram Opdycke, 10 Mar 1867, Wms Co, OH, and as his second wife Mary took on the responsibilities of rearing his children in Superior Twp plus having three children in the marriage, Heman, Wilbur, and an infant who died. Allen Roode (1857 MI-1931) was listed with the Opdycke family in the 1870 Superior Twp federal census records. Hiram served from 1866-1871 as a Williams County Commissioner. As early as 29 Dec 1864 Hiram was a delinquent taxpayer, owning lots in Bryan. By March 1876 Hiram, who had six separate mortgages on his land and a general merchandise store in Montpelier, was forced to have a Sheriff's Auction after one or more of the persons who had loaned him money, foreclosed through the courts. The Opdyckes then moved to Pella, Marion Co, Iowa and eighteen months later to Russell, Kansas. Hiram, a Civil War veteran, applied for a pension in 1890. He died on 27 Jan 1906 and his widow, Mary, made an application for a pension on 22 Apr 1906.
Allen Roode, Mary Daggett Roode Opdycke's son, married Sarah E. (surname unknown). Allen's son Charles A. (1887-1946) was president of the Farmer's and Merchant's State and Savings Bank of Montpelier at the time of his death. The Roode family is buried in West Jefferson Cemetery, Jefferson Twp, Wms Co, OH. How ironic that Mary and Hiram had financial difficulties and later her grandson is involved in the business of finances.
Daughter Lucretia T. (May 1839 NY- 27 Jan 1917, Larned, Pawnee Co, KS) married James L. Dole, 6 Nov 1862, Hillsdale Co, MI, and established a home in Jefferson Twp, Wms Co, OH where they were found in the 1870 and 1880 federal census records. The Doles later moved to Kansas, first to Bunkerhill, KS (c.1887), then to Russell, Center Twp, Russell Co, KS (bef 1900), and by 1901 to Larned, Pawnee Co, KS. Lucretia and her family were enumerated in the 1900 Center Twp, Russell Co, KS federal census as 61 year old Lucretia Dole b. May 1839 NY, married 26 years with 4 living children, parents both from NY; in the 1910 Larned Twp, Pawnee Co, KS federal census the family appeared with Lucretia, 74, married 48 years with 3 of her five children living, parents both from NY. [Note the discrepancies in age and info about children.] Lucretia Daggett and James L. Dole were the great-grandparents of Senator and 1996 US Presidential Candidate Robert Joseph Dole. James L. Dole was living in Larned as late as 19 Mar 1925 according to sister Kathryn H. Dole's obituary. He was a widower then and he inherited a quarter interest in his sister's house at 215 N. Myers Street in Bryan, OH. He died on 29 Oct 1928.
Hannah F. Daggett (1839 NY-?) married Loren A. Smith, 1858, Hillsdale Co, MI. Emmaline, the youngest daughter, who would be ten years old, had disappeared from the household by 1860.
Fourteen months before Ethan eloped, Orange married his third wife, Mrs. Clarissa Kimball Hillard, 23 Jan 1862, Ransom, Hillsdale Co, MI, Book c p236, but Clarissa is not with the family on the 1870 Federal Census. Clarissa, the daughter of Daniel and Sarah Kimball, was supposedly born in Canada and had moved from Geauga Co, OH to Crawford Co, OH before her move to Williams Co. Clarissa died on 7 Nov 1877 in Ransom Twp, Hillsdale Co, MI and is buried beside her first husband, Perez Hillard (d. 21 Oct 1854), in Burt (Evergreen) Cemetery. Clarissa did not obtain a divorce from Orange in Williams Co, but may have done so elsewhere.
Phebe Ann Doolittle, daughter of Harmon and Martha Stubbs Doolittle, was born c. 1846, Springfield Twp, Wms Co, OH. Harmon and Martha were reported to have been the first couple to marry there in the spring of 1834. He bought several parcels of land between 15 Sept 1835 and 16 Mar 1837. Harmon built a sawmill in 1837 plus he was a township magistrate from 5 Sept 1835-19 Apr 1848 and a county commissioner from 1847-1849. This couple was found on the 1840 Springfield Twp, Wms Co, OH Federal Census with 2 sons under 5 years old and 1 daughter bet 5-10 years of age.
Martha Stubbs, the daughter of John and Phebe Miller Stubbs, was born in Tompkins Co, NY, 25 Apr 1812, and came with her parents to this county c. 1833. John Stubbs of Goshen, Orange Co, NY traveled to Viewfield, Tompkins Co, NY in 1804; he was a captain in that state's militia during the War of 1812 but saw no active service. His father, William Stubbs, was a Revolutionary War soldier.
John and Phebe were married in Tompkins Co, NY and became the parents of seven children: William M, (22 June 1810-Nov 1900, Stryker; mar Margaret H. Collins), Joseph H (1811 NY- ?, mar Louisa Reynolds, 20 Nov 1836), Martha, Polly H (1818 NY- aft 1869, Donniphan Co, KS; mar 1- Jonathan B. Taylor, 16 Jan 1836; mar 2-Jesse McArt, 3 Mar 1850), Mary , John H (26 Nov 1820 NY –10 Sept 1882, Stryker; mar Mary Polly Miller), and Moses R. (1832-bef 1869). John was a Justice of the Peace in NY for 17 years and came to Wms. Co, OH c.1833. John and Phebe may be the parents of another daughter, Rachel Stubbs Hollingshead Robinson, who obtained a divorce in Williams Co, OH.
John purchased huge amounts of land at the Wapakonetta Land Office on 8 Oct 1835. Upon moving to this county John farmed over 1,000 acres, was a county commissioner, an active organizer of Masonic lodges in NW Ohio, and a Master of Hiram Lodge F and AM. John Stubbs (12 Aug 1784, Goshen, Orange Co, NY-5 Feb 1864, Springfield Twp, Wms Co, OH @79Y 5M 22D) and Phebe (16 Jan 1794, Broome Co, NY-18 May 1869, Springfield Twp, Wms Co, OH @75Y 4M 2D) were buried in Boynton Cemetery.
Harmon Doolittle (11 Mar 1810, CT-23 Sept 1849 @39Y 6M 12D) died in Springfield Twp and was buried in Boynton Cemetery. He wrote his will several days before his death and left his beloved wife all his real and personal property. He gave her the authority to sell any of this to settle his debts and to maintain guardianship of all four minor children until they reached the age of 21, but if she remarried, this guardianship would cease. The Doolittle children, all born in Springfield Twp, were: Sophia C. (10 Oct 1834-21 May 1857; mar. 17 Mar 1853, Wms Co, OH, Joseph Stockbridge Boynton), John S. (27 June 1836-aft 2 June 1874; mar.16 Dec 1855, Wms Co, OH, Ann Gifford), Horace H. (16 Oct 1843-bef 13 Mar 1868, pos Chase Co, KS), and Phebe Ann. Family tradition stated that John S. Doolittle later married the daughter of an Indian chief and subsequently became a very wealthy man.
Martha and her children were enumerated in the 1850 Springfield Twp, Wms Co, OH Federal Census. On 20 Feb 1853, Wms Co, OH, Martha married Jacob Boyers and moved to Bridgewater Twp bef 1860 where they were listed in that census as follows: Jacob Boyers (58 PA, farmer), Margaret (47 NY), Horace (17 OH), Phebe (13 OH), and Matilda, Jacob's daughter, (28 OH servant). Note that Martha's name was written as Margaret. By 21 Nov 1853 Jacob was the guardian of the Doolittle children and held a note from the Doolittle estate against Joseph S. Boynton, husband of Sophia. Jacob put up a $5,000 guardian bond with the court at the time of his appointment. On 22 July 1854 he wanted to sell the Doolittle land and wrangled in court with Jesse McArt, an uncle and guardian for Horace, over the proposed sale of part of the real estate. Martha agreed to the sale as the land was north of the Tiffin River and it overflowed; the parcel was separated from the rest of the estate and could not be fenced in with the other land. The final account of the property took place on 13 Apr 1864.
Along with being the Doolittles' guardian, Jacob was also guardian to his grandchildren, issue of his son Jacob Jr. Jacob Boyer, b. 30 Jan 1802 in Westmoreland Co, PA and the son of Peter and Anna Margaretta Hartzell Boyer, was first married to Elizabeth Hoover who died 22 Oct 1852 and was buried in Fountain Grove Cemetery, Bryan, OH. Jacob and Elizabeth were parents to William, Matilda Eliza, Jacob Jr., Margaret, Adam, and Mary. He was a Bryan merchant as of Apr 1850 where he advertised the acceptance of ashes on account for the firm of Boyer and Case.
As was stated before, the Boyer-Doolittles lived in Bridgewater in 1860 where they were neighbors of the Orange Daggett family. Ethan and Phebe met then and eventually married. One wonders if Phebe's mother and stepfather sanctioned this elopement. In any event the marriage took place and Ethan and his bride established their home with Ethan's father, Orange. As time passed they had 2 daughters, Annie Belle, b 1865 and Mary L. b. 1868.
What takes place next is the tragic tale of spousal abuse, so brutal that an account of the event is found on the front page of a Wauseon, Fulton Co, OH newspaper, Northwest Republican, on 26 Aug 1869. The original story appeared on page four of a Bryan paper, Union Press, 19 Aug 1869. Perhaps its less prominent position was meant to spare the feelings of the relatives who lived in Bryan and Stryker. Further details can be found in the journal record leading to the divorce of this couple in the Williams County Court of Common Pleas (V7 p369, 380-381) and on the microfilm of the proceedings from the Williams County Civil/Criminal Court (Roll 21 case numbers 39 and 57).
On Saturday morning, Aug 14, 1869, in the Bridgewater home of Ethan and Phebe Daggett, Phebe was preparing toast for her husband, when he began complaining, "that she was too extravagant in the use of milk". A verbal argument ensued and finally "he kicked her with his feet encased in thick heavy boots until he had inflicted a wound to the abdomen which had caused a rupture to such an extent that the bowels and womb were protruding". He then "seized and pulled her out of doors". Phebe "pleaded to have a doctor sent for but he (Ethan) refused to let the boy have a horse to go for one and in this frightful condition the woman (Phebe) lay from Saturday until Monday morning without medical attendance". Apparently Phebe finally "prevailed upon the boy to go on foot for the doctor". Who the "boy" was is left to speculation – was he a farm laborer, one of the Rood nephews, or someone else?
During this infamous weekend Ethan "had explained to the neighbors that his wife was sick with chills and could not go out". Presumably he had allowed her to return to the house sometime between Saturday and Monday morning. The boy found Dr. Samuel W. Mercer in Montpelier who treated her and possibly made a personal report to the authorities. On Tuesday morning Sheriff Edwin J. Evans of Bryan went to Bridgewater to arrest Ethan and to take Phebe's deposition if she was still alive. When he arrived at the Daggett home he found Phebe was still living but was "most severely injured". She was able to give him her statement of the assault. Ethan was a "short distance from home at the house of a neighbor where he had stopped to converse a few moments" when the sheriff took him into custody, brought him back to Bryan, and lodged him in the county jail. When the story broke, people in the Daggett farm vicinity became indignant and it was "a fortunate thing for him (Ethan) that the sheriff had taken him in charge". The newspaper accounts were at first misleading as the headlines read, "Brutal Assault: A Wife Fatally Injured".
At the time of this attack Phebe was 22 years old and was "again soon to become a mother at the time she received her injuries". Whether that part of the account is true has not been determined, but Phebe does appear before the Williams County Common Pleas Court on 19 Aug 1869 to request a divorce citing extreme cruelty.
On 8 Nov 1869 she was awarded alimony of $300, was restored to her maiden name of Doolittle, and was given custody of the minor children, Annie B. and Mary L. There was no mention of a living third child, an ongoing pregnancy, or the recent death of a child. At the time of the divorce Phebe possessed $1800, which was held by Ethan since her marriage, but was the "sole and exclusive property" of Phebe. In addition to this sum Phebe had brought $600 to Ethan by reason of the marriage, which she now wanted back.
Ethan was allowed to see his children through visitation rights of four hours on Saturdays. Phebe was given legal ownership of the land she owned in her own right. She was further granted "control of her wearing apparel, two feather beds, two straw ticks, pillows, sheets, blankets, and quilts for the two beds, two stands, and one set of chairs". Her $300 alimony was to be paid as follows: $100 in 60 days, $100 in one year, and the remaining $100 in two year's time. She was granted a lien on the property owned by Ethan who as the defendant was ordered to pay court costs in ten days.
According to the Bryan Democrat, 11 Nov 1860, p3, the State of Ohio v Ethan Daggett case had the following outcome: "for brutally whipping his wife the defendant was found guilty and sentenced to ten days in jail and a $50 fine. His wife obtained a divorce and alimony of $300."
Poor Ethan's financial troubles were also evidenced in a suit brought on by Pratt and Nelson, Attorneys, on 2 Nov 1869 for money owed them by Ethan. He had to retain another attorney, Schuyler E. Blakeslee, to settle the matter. Lawyer Blakeslee was the attorney of record in the famous murder trial of Andrew F. Tyler in July 1848.
In 1866 Martha Stubbs Doolittle Boyers' sister, Mary Clark and her family, had moved to Stokes Mound Twp, Carroll Co, MO, but later moved back here by 1875. Three months before the assault of Aug 1869, Phebe Daggett's grandmother, Phebe Stubbs, had died and her obituary listed Phebe Daggett's mother, Mrs. Jacob Byers (Boyers), as living in Clinton, MO. By 27 June 1870 Martha was back in the 1870 Springfield Twp, Wms Co, OH Federal Census as Martha Boyers (57 NY) plus daughter Phebe Boyers (23 OH) and Daggett granddaughters Annie B (5 OH) and Mary L. (2 OH) all living together. Obviously they had put some distance between themselves and the Daggetts. Martha had $800 in real estate value plus $200 in personal property while Phebe at age 23 possessed $1,000 in real estate and $150 in personal property. What had happened to husband, Jacob Boyers, has not been determined to date; some Boyers researchers state that he died on 8 Oct 1892. If this is the case, then he did not live with his wife Martha Stubbs Doolittle Boyers.
In the 1870 Bridgewater Twp, Wms Co, OH Federal Census Ethan Daggett (33 NY farmer) plus father Orange (65 NY) and a 21-year-old housekeeper, possibly Natalie McFavorite of OH, lived together on the Daggett homestead. Now Ethan possessed $1,000 in real estate and $200 in personal property as head of household.
When James L. Dole sold property on 27 Aug 1876 in Jefferson Twp, Orange Daggett witnessed the transaction. Orange left the Bridgewater area sometime around 1887 and moved to Bunkerhill, Russell Co, KS to live with his daughter and son-in-law, James L. and Lucretia T. Dole and the four Dole grandchildren, Eva, Netta, Robert G, and Rutherford H. Orange died at the Dole home in Bunkerhill, which is approximately eight miles east of Russell, KS, on 27 June 1887 @83Y 2M 13D from gangrene of the foot and ankle. His obituary listed him as "always industrious and a highly respected citizen".
Ethan and Orange sold their Bridgewater property in Section 12S c1872 and Ethan bought acreage c.1880 in Harrison Co, IA from his brother Charles. According to the 1880 Missouri Valley, St. John's Twp, Harrison Co, IA federal census p151, Ethan Daget, 39 NY carpenter and boarder of Edward and Georgiana Coblergh, was listed as a divorced male. From the 1885 Missouri Valley, IA state census Ethan Daggert was 60-year old native of NY. He supposedly married a Nancy J. Daggett (18 Aug 1841-20 Apr 1927) who is buried in the Woodbine Cemetery, Harrison Co, IA. Whether this is true and whether Nancy obtained a divorce from Ethan is not presently known. On 31 Mar 1898 he married Mrs. Elizabeth Bailey Hillard in Harrison Co, IA. Elizabeth and her husband William were next-door neighbors to the Daggetts in Bridgewater. Elizabeth, b. 18 Sept 1828, a native of London, England, became a widow on 18 Dec 1891. She owned property in Superior Twp as of 1894.
The story told by Elizabeth's grandson, John Hillard, was that "after her husband died, she was bound to go to Iowa and marry Ethan Daggett even though her children were against it and had a fit. She went anyway and married him, but they didn't get along. One night they were fighting in bed and he got up, left the room, and got a pail of water to throw on her; but in the meantime she slipped out the window and went to the neighbors; all he got was a wet bed as he threw it on the bed but she wasn't there".
In the 1900 St. John Twp, Harrison Co, IA federal census p229, the Dagget family was enumerated as Ethan, born Sept 1835 (64) married two years, a carpenter with father native of NY and mother native of CT, and his wife, Elizabeth, born Nov 1833 (66) ENG of foreign born parents; she had 8 children with 7 still living, and she had immigrated to the US in 1839.
This marriage lasted sometime between 1898 and when Elizabeth Daggett moved back to Wms Co, OH where she died on 7 Oct 1906. If she obtained a divorce, she did not do so in Wms Co. Her obituary and probate records listed her as Elizabeth Daggett. The Hillard family never acknowledged the marriage and she was buried beside her husband, William Hillard, in Cogswell Cem.
An interesting point that should be made here is that Orange Daggett had married Elizabeth Hillard's mother-in-law, Clarissa Hillard; furthermore, Clarissa either left or divorced Orange just as Elizabeth did with regard to Ethan. That these Daggett men appear to have been poor husbands is an understatement.
Ethan A. Daggett was enumerated in the 1910 First Ward, Missouri Valley, Harrison Twp, Harrison Co, IA federal census, p179, as 70 NY, a widower, with parents from NY and CT; his profession was carpenter. On 10 June 1912, Ethan Daggett died hundreds of miles from his former Williams Co, OH home. His death certificate stated he was divorced at the time of his death. His probate record, under the name of E. Daggette (Docket 7 p289 #1693) from Harrison County, IA needs further study, but I did obtain a copy of Ethan's obit from the "Missouri Valley Times", 13 June 1912, which according to the obituary writer gives a different side to Ethan's nature.
"Mr. Daggett was laid away yesterday. I have known him quite intimate for a number of years and have found him a good neighbor, willing to help in any good cause. He especially loved children. They were always welcome to his home. The brothers have all passed over, two sisters remain." [Note that Ethan may have had more than the one known brother, Charles W. Daggett.] "Ethan Dagget, born in Cortland County, New York, Sept 10, 1837, died June 10, 1912, 75Y 9M. At 12 years of age he removed with his parents to Williams County, Ohio, and remained there until he came to Harrison County, Iowa, 38 years ago (1874). He was converted early in life and joined the M.E. Church where he has been a faithful member so many years. He has suffered much the past year and has been cared for by kind friends and neighbors. He was removed to the hospital some three months ago and though all that medical skill and science could do was done, he passed away to rest yesterday. He leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mary W. Opdycke of Russell County, Kansas, and Mrs. Lucretia Dole of Lanard, Kansas, both of whom came to care for him the last days and were at the bedside when death came and were present at his funeral. 'He giveth His beloved sheep'". Ethan was laid to rest in the Oak Grove Cemetery, St. John Township, Harrison Co, Iowa. With the marvels of modern technology one can even view a photo of Ethan's tombstone.
The Bryan Press, 3 July 1879 p5
On the evening of 3 July 1879 at the bride's residence in Stryker, Williams County, OH, by Rev H A Brown, Mr. Jason W Beard of Summit, DeKalb Co, IN to Mrs. Pheoba A Doolittle of Stryker, OH.
Phebe married Jason W. Beard, 3 July 1879, Wms Co, OH; the couple was enumerated in the 1880 Summit, Smithfield Twp, DeKalb Co, IN federal census period, 16B, as Jason W. 31 IN dry goods and grocer, Phebe 33 OH, Belle D 14 OH, May 11 OH, and Martha Boyer 64 mother and boarder. Jason W. Beard, born Feb 1849 in IN, was the son of Elisha and Elizabeth Boyers Beard. His mother was a sister to Phebe's stepfather, Jacob Boyers. Elizabeth died sometime before husband Elisha married Mrs. Mary Magdalena Noragon Kepler on 9 May 1863 and by the 1870 Franklin Twp, DeKalb Co, IN federal census, Jason did not reside with this father and stepmother.
Martha Boyers died of dropsy on 25 July 1886 @74Y 3M at her home in Stryker. Her death record listed her as a widow. Her burial place is unknown. The term "widow" for Phebe is also not strictly accurate because in 1900 Jason W. Beard lived with his wife of 20 years in Crowell, Woods Co, Oklahoma. He had two children with wife Josephine A. Hitchcock Walter, whom he married on 6 Dec 1886 in Haneysville, Pratt Co, KS but only one, Clarence S. Beard b. Feb 1887 Kansas, was listed. It would appear that Phebe or Jason obtained a divorce or Jason was a bigamist. Note that Jason was in DeKalb Co, IN in 1880 and apparently by 1886 he and his wife Josephine lived in Kansas where son Clarence was born on 1 Feb 1887 and passed away on 5 Aug 1904. Jason died on 10 Apr 1909 and wife Josephine died on 17 June 1914; they are all buried in Alva Cemetery, Alva, Woods Co, OK.
As stated before in 1886 Martha Boyers died in Stryker so it would seem sometime after 1880 the women moved back to Wms Co, OH. A brief article in the Bryan Press, 4 Sept 1890, mentioned Mrs. Phebe Beard of Wauseon, formerly of Stryker, was visiting relatives in Stryker.
Belle Daggett married William F. Cole, 17 July 1890, Wms Co, OH but on 20 July 1901 she obtained a divorce in Wms Co. William, a resident of Illinois, had been willfully absent for the past three years. He did not contest the divorce. Mrs. Phebe Beard testified in court on her daughter's behalf that William was at fault. There were no children from this marriage and Belle was restored to her maiden name, Daggett. Phebe's other daughter, Mary L. Daggett, disappeared from records after 1880. Phebe A. Beard, cousin to Phebe M. Boynton, dec as of 1915, was listed with other relatives in the will probated in Wms Co, OH (#6050), as a resident of Stryker, OH.
Phebe appeared as a widow living at 195 Lynn Street, Stryker, OH with her daughter Belle in the 1910 and 1920 Federal Census records. Phebe was a music teacher and Belle was a public school teacher.
Phebe Ann Doolittle Daggett Beard died at her Stryker home, 8 July 1926. Her daughter Belle was living at the County Home in Jefferson Twp as of 5 Feb 1934 or earlier. Phebe's estate was valued at $1500 with real estate as Lot 38 Tingley's Add, Stryker. Her estate had unpaid funeral expenses of $225 with the estate administrator, Wendell P. Grisier, taking care of the bill with a public auction of her belongings on 21 July 1934 after he was unsuccessful in getting Belle Daggett to cooperate with the probate and property sale. Belle died 16 July 1936 @78Y, in Stryker. The burial sites for Phebe and her daughter, Belle, have not been discovered to date.
Speculation/Unanswered Questions
1. All around him Ethan would have been among people who did not approve of his behavior, but would they have continued to socialize with his family? Also, what about his family – would they have felt embarrassment and anger? On that dreadful day, who was there to witness the assault and was there something they could have done? Ultimately was this a reason for the Dole and Opdycke families moving to Kansas?
2. Ethan may have been among people who felt Phebe, as a woman and a wife, was to blame for the assault; she should have been more cooperative and frugal. Perhaps they turned a blind eye to the situation. Perhaps this was an on-going case of abuse. Examining Ethan's later spousal abuse with wife Elizabeth, one forms the opinion that Ethan definitely had problems with anger management.
3. Why didn't Ethan serve his country during the Civil War? He was the right age to enlist. Was there a religious or political reason? Did he have a physical or emotional impairment? Was Orange, the father, too ill to work the farm alone?
4. Phebe had a mother, a stepfather and his family, a brother John, and Stubbs uncles and cousins. Did they in any way threaten Ethan? If so, is that the reason Ethan and his father eventually left for parts West? Was the move based on financial troubles or poor credit?
5. Ethan was 27 years old when he married the 16-year-old Phebe. Had he been married before?
6. What happened to Jacob Boyers? What happened to little Mary L. Daggett? Was there a divorce for Phebe and Jason W. Beard?
Ivana Trump, former wife of "the Donald", is quoted as saying, "the best revenge is living well". Did Phebe know such revenge? I hope so.

About this designer: Eileen Gray
Eileen Gray was born in Ireland in 1878. She grew up in London and was one of the first women admitted to the Slade School of Art in 1898. She moved to Paris in 1902 and after training in Japanese lacquer work she quickly established herself as one of the leading designers of lacquered screens and decorative panels. During the 1920s and 1930s she became one of the leading exponents of revolutionary new theories of design. She worked closely with many of the outstanding figures of the modern movement, including Le Corbusier and J J P Oud. One of Eileen Gray's last tasks in the early 1970s was to work with Zeev Aram on the introduction of her designs onto the world market. In 1973 Eileen Gray granted the worldwide rights to manufacture and distribute her designs to Aram Designs Ltd, London. Aram holds the worldwide head license for Eileen Gray designs, and is the only UK source for the authentic products. Aram has granted a license to produce to ClassiCon of Germany.
About this brand: Aram Designs
When Zeev Aram opened his first showroom in 1964, a small, white space on London's Kings Road, he might as well have landed on the moon. But, here was the work of Castiglioni, Breuer, and Le Corbusier, for the first time available to the public to buy and put in their own homes. Zeev closed his Kings Road showroom in 1973 and moved his business to Kean Street in Covent Garden, where he still oversees Aram Designs - concentrating on his own designs as well as running a very successful contract business supplying to architects and interior design groups. In 1975, after several years working together, Eileen Gray gave Zeev Aram and Aram Designs Ltd the Worldwide licence to introduce, produce and distribute her designs. A licence we are still honoured to hold to this day.

GolfBC's courses are proud participants of this program and some have earned Audobon Certification. Some of our efforts include:
- recycling of grass clippings
- consistent monitoring of diseases
- treating diseases curatively
- conserve water by sourcing existing moving water rather than extracting from the ground
- using water to supplement a fish bearing stream
Preservation of the wildlife habitats that surround the courses have always been an integral aspect of our environmental efforts. Various species of birds and small animals live peacefully in the wild natural habitat surrounding each golf course, while for instance in Whistler, bear proof garbage containers keep the larger animals at bay.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel's National Security Council determined during an emergency meeting last week that US President Barack Obama is "naive" when it comes to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and the dangers it poses.
The council, which exists to provide strategic assessments to the prime minister and his cabinet, met in Jerusalem for a discussion entitled "The Challenge of the Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and its Offshoots."
The meeting was called as the Muslim Brotherhood was wrapping up its wildly successful showing in Egypt's first democratic election since the fall of former dictator Hosni Mubarak. With the votes from the third round of voting expected to be tallied soon, the Brotherhood is predicted to control at least 40 percent of the Egyptian parliament. The even more radical al-Nour party came in second place with 25-30 percent of the vote.
Less than a year ago, Obama, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other top American officials were brushing off the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists as a "fringe" movement within Egypt, and unlikely to win outright control in free elections. "They [the Muslim Brotherhood] don;t have majority support in Egypt," insisted Obama in early 2011.
When it became increasingly clear over the summer that the Muslim Brotherhood was emerging as Egypt's new dominant force, Obama's reaction was to "engage" the party that had once been shunned by Washington as a terrorist organization. Just last month, Obama dispatched Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Senator John Kerry to meet with Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Cairo.
Both Obama's initial reaction to fears of a Brotherhood takeover and his response once such a takeover became inevitable were "naive" and place the region at increased risk, warned Israel's National Security Council.
Since Israel cannot change the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, it is suggesting to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he focus on educating Obama and his government on the very real threat created by the Muslim Brotherhood's hijacking of Egypt's revolution.
Just this week, the Muslim Brotherhood's second in command told Arab media that once in power, his group will never recognize Israel and will work to undo the Camp David Accords, a policy that has the potential to unhinge what's left of regional stability.

After our Aug. '11 issue came out, I received a couple "hate mails" regarding the striking similarity to one of our sister publications Lowrider magazine. Now, being somewhat of a lowrider enthusiast myself, I at first didn't know whether to take those remarks as complimentary or not—but it didn't take long to realize they were complaints, not compliments. However, be that as it may, I still don't see the logic or even any sense in the comparison of the Starlite Kustom "customs" with lowriders—simply based on paint?! Come on now.
To me, extravagant custom paint is one of the foundations of custom cars—where do you think lowriders got their inspirations from in the first place? But with the two cars in question, that's where the similarities end. Neither the Ford nor the Olds have knockoff wire wheels with tiny 520s stretched over them; neither have hydraulics; neither have any airbrushed portraits or murals; but most of all, neither have anything that jumps out and says "I'm a lowrider" other than the paint.
So, to dismiss these cars as lowriders simply based on the color of their sheetmetal skins makes absolutely no sense to me at all, especially based on the parameters I just laid out. I mean, really? When I came across the Starliner at last year's Long Beach Motorama, the first thing that popped in my pea brain was "cover!" Then I came upon the Dynamic 88 and there was just no question about it—they both belonged in the magazine. But the last thing that ever would've crossed my mind was the possibility of either being misconstrued by readers as a lowrider. Why? Because they're NOT lowriders—and even if they were, they still belong in R&C. Why? Because they're customs … period.
Let it be known that my intention as editor is not to offend readers, in any way, shape, or form. And I love getting feedback—positive and negative … I take it all constructively, never personally. But this time may be different. While I do apologize to all who were not pleased with the August issue, I will admit, if I were given the chance to do it over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Besides, it's only one issue—right?
the last thing that ever would've crossed my mind was the possibility of either being misconstrued by readers as a lowrider.

When you watch Samsung's first ad for its new Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it might look a little familiar. Samsung has spliced together clips of characters from several movies and TV shows, including Dick Tracy, Knight Rider, and the Power Rangers, using communication devices worn on their wrists. This is very similar to Apple's "Hello" advertisement for the iPhone back in 2007:
So what do you think? Is this a tasteful tip of the hat, or a shameless ripoff? Let us know below in the comments.

Hi! Im looking for a hungry bin (wormery bin). do you have one is stock? Thanks Ciaran
Accommodating, 27 October 2013
I worry that having one or more of them in my bare hand will diminish their protective moist slip-and-slideness. And on top of that: they TICKLE. So I try to be prepared for not even just one or two that I've found in some unexpected place and have it/them in a pleasant way, until I can get it/them into something mutually acceptable. Thank you, Alex Duncan

Tastefully-placed LED lighting makes for a gorgeous night shot.
A great new technique for making waterfalls:
Two years ago we posted a wonderful collection of Sam's behind-the-scenes photos of the model-making process. Sam recently mentioned on his blog that this labor of love has hit the seven year mark. As we've said before, this model with its moving parts is "one of the coolest examples of 'Backyard Imagineering' we've ever seen."

And the 78th Heisman Trophy will go to …
More on the leading contenders in a moment. First, let's look at the two strongest trends in Heisman history. Trend 1: From 1972 to 1983, 12 consecutive running backs won the award. Trend 2: Starting with Chris Weinke in 2000, 10 of the 12 winners have been quarterbacks.
So a quarterback's going to win it in 2012 … unless a running back does. Let's say there's a 78 percent chance of the former and an 18 percent chance of the latter. Which leaves, what the heck, a 4 percent chance of anything else happening. (The science behind those numbers is so rock-solid it's scary.)
Here we go now: Seven up, from the bottom to the top, your leading contenders for the Big Stiffarm.
7. Tyrann Mathieu, CB, junior, LSU
Good signs:
He's already a household name among followers of the sport, which means he has won the biggest battle faced by all non-offensive players. And the Tigers are pretty well locked in as national title contenders, so every big Honey Badger play will be magnified.
Bad sign:
Mathieu had it all in place last season—the punt returns for touchdowns, the scoops-and-scores on defense, the No. 1 ranking for his team when the Heisman was awarded—and yet he finished fifth in the balloting as the only non-QB/RB in the top 10.
Others like him:
If NC State cornerback David Amerson follows up his ACC-record 13 interceptions in 2011 with a similar effort, he'll steal Mathieu's honey. Does Georgia junior linebacker Jarvis Jones have a 20-sack explosion in him?
6. Collin Klein, QB, senior, Kansas State
Good signs:
Klein carries his offense on his back like a less-talented version of Cam Newton. Or maybe he's more in the vein of Tim Tebow. This is a big, strong, extraordinarily willful guy whose candidacy will get a real push if K-State again threatens 10 wins. Nice trend: Four of the past six Heismans have gone to dual-threat quarterbacks (Robert Griffin III, Troy Smith and the two mentioned above).
Bad sign:
In the past 44 years, only one quarterback (Nebraska's Eric Crouch) has won the Heisman throwing for less than 2,000 yards, as Klein did in 2011.
Others like him:
You wouldn't call either Michigan's Denard Robinson or Nebraska's Taylor Martinez a natural passer. The QB most like Klein may end up being Auburn's Kiehl Frazier, if Frazier gets the starting nod as a sophomore.
5. De'Anthony Thomas, RB, sophomore, Oregon
Good signs:
The sophomore seal was broken by Tebow a year before Oklahoma's Sam Bradford became the second consecutive sophomore Heisman winner. Especially with LaMichael James gone, Thomas—as a runner, receiver and return man—could blow away his freshman total of 18 touchdowns.
Bad sign:
No Oregon player has ever won the Heisman. You know, because of the East Coast media bias and all.
Others like him:
Clemson's Sammy Watkins and USC's Marqise Lee are fellow super-sophs. West Virginia senior Tavon Austin could sneak into Thomas' uniform for a game and few would notice.
4. Geno Smith, QB, senior, West Virginia
Good signs:
Smith was enormously productive (4,379 yards passing, 31 TDs, 7 INTs) in his first season running Dana Holgorsen's offense. In Year 2—in the wide-open Big 12—Smith's a good bet to put up the best numbers of any quarterback in the country. He doesn't have to win a league title to take the Heisman, either, as Baylor's Griffin proved.
Bad sign:
It's not like team success doesn't matter a ton. Eleven of the 14 winners during the BCS era capped their Heisman seasons with BCS appearances. That level of success may be above the Mountaineers' ceiling in their Big 12 debut.
Others like him:
Arkansas' Tyler Wilson, Georgia's Aaron Murray and Washington's Keith Price are, like Smith, pocket passers on very strong teams—but also long shots to win conference championships.
3. Montee Ball, RB, senior, Wisconsin
Good signs:
Here's your top returning Heisman candidate from 2011; Ball finished fourth behind Griffin, Andrew Luck and Trent Richardson. The Badgers will ride him again, too, so you know the stats will be there.
Bad sign:
For crying out loud, the guy tied Barry Sanders' all-time record with 39 touchdowns as a junior—for the Big Ten champions—and didn't come close to winning the Heisman. The lack of flash in Ball's game hurts him in the perception department.
Others like him:
South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore and … that may be it.
2. Denard Robinson, QB, senior, Michigan
Good signs:
Now this is a dual-threat quarterback in the most exciting sense of the phrase. For oohs and aahs, no doubt Robinson is better than Tebow or Ohio State's Smith and up there with the Camster and RG3. Robinson should soar over 7,000 career passing yards and, more important, top 4,000 on the ground as he chases his 50th career rushing touchdown.
What's bad:
Alabama in the season opener. Gulp.
Others like him:
Nebraska's Martinez undoubtedly prefers this comparison. Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas is a dual-threat guy, but he's a much better passer than Robinson and not nearly the runner. Here's a thought: Ohio State's Braxton Miller? Michigan fans surely disagree.
1. Matt Barkley, QB, senior, USC
Good signs: Quarterbacks own the award now, the Trojans are clear national title contenders, and everyone admires Barkley for returning to school for his senior season. Here's your far-and-away favorite.
Bad signs:
No USC player since Reggie Bush in 2005 has won the award, and Bush's win was later vacated. More relevant: As Luck did in 2011, Barkley starts the season with the Mr. Perfect chain around his neck—any interception, especially a key one in a loss, will shock voters' senses and be replayed on television a million times.
Others like him:
Are there any other extremely talented passers who could go unbeaten in 2012? Sure. Oklahoma's Landry Jones, Florida State's E.J. Manuel, maybe even Arkansas' Wilson if you're willing to take that leap of faith in John L. Smith. No leap necessary with Barkley.

Hello good folk of CA.org, I've decided to finally start a brand spanking new sketchbook thread, and will endeavour to update as much as possible!
The last few years have been up and down for me; in work, outta work, back in again and so on...I finally got me a studio to work in, so, absolutely no excuse for not producing and posting artwork!
I fell into storyboarding the end of 2008, for a small independant film company called BigRedButton.tv I've work for them on a freelance basis, doing illustrations and character designs (some, of which I cant post- yet!) and they have a very quirky sense of humor. The following storyboards were done for FRANK a drugs helpline here in the UK.

Greene County commissioners approve a revised contract with healthcare provider to save more than $19,000.
SNOW HILL � Greene County commissioners have approved a proposed revised contract with Southern Health Partners, a provider of inmate healthcare services for county and city correctional facilities.
The company manages nursing services, medical supplies and certain prescription medications for the county jail, and the current contract expired Friday.
Interim County Manager Richard Hicks presented a revised contract proposal that will save the county more than $19,000 this year beginning this month.
The problem, Hicks said about the current contract, is the county has been paying more than the base rate because it has been regularly exceeding the limits the current contract sets forth.
The county pays a base fee of $8,109 a month, or $97,308 a year, and Southern Health plans to increase the rate by 2 percent starting this month.
The contract charges a $1.71 per day for each inmate over the 65-inmate cap.
�Since we�ve started getting inmates from other jails in the state,� Hicks said, �we�ve exceeded the cap practically every month.�
Sheriff Lemmie Smith said the average number of inmates per day is about 70.
Certain outside expenses have a $15,000 cap.
�So anything that is not covered inside or if they have to be taken to the doctor,� Hicks said, �then all those costs outside of the jail go towards that $15,000 cap.�
The actual cost for those expenses was $24,812 through December and more costs have been accruing through January.
The county budgeted $100,000 in its medical and drugs account � more than $2,000 above the base fee. The outside pool limit is expected to be as much as $11,000, and the excess inmate per diem cost is estimated to be more than $12,354.
The base contract plus cap overages will cost the county about $120,662 this year, Hicks said. If the county renewed the same contract with the 2 percent increase, that figure would be about $122,000 next year, he said.
The revised contract charges an annual base fee of $103,443, increases the limit to 80 inmates, reduces the per diem fee to $1.25 and increases the nursing hours at the jail from 20 to 25 hours. The 2 percent increase is waived, and the $15,000 cap remains the same.
Hicks estimates overage costs of $1,500 for projected population per diem and $9,000 for outside cost overages, bringing the total annual cost to about $113,943, compared with the $122,000 it would have been if the contract remained the same.
In addition, Hicks mentioned the county receives periodic medical bills, usually averaging about $6,000, from the state Safekeeper program, where county inmates are given medical care at Central Prison in Raleigh. This month, however, the county got slapped with a $31,188 bill for an inmate who received cancer treatments.
�It�s kind of hard to anticipate people that you�re going to have, who�s going to get sick and who�s going to have to go to the hospital,� Commissioner James Shackleford said. �So that�s going to be an ongoing thing, not really being able to predict how much money we�re going to need for that jail.�

Glenn Reynolds is still awaiting answers from gun-control advocates Rupert Murdoch and Michael Bloomberg about the guns used by their security details in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre. The silence is telling, for the political and media hysteria whipped up in the wake of the killings is mixed with equal parts bad faith and magical thinking. A healthy dollop of misinformation is overlaid on the bad faith. The magical thinking operates in its own reality without any need of the misinformation to support it.
Yesterday Meet the Press's insufferable David Gregory made his own contribution to the mix, mocking NRA president Wayne LaPierre for proposing that armed guards protect every school in America. Gregory's interview of LaPierre is posted here. In the course of the interview Gregory suggested that armed guards might not be effective in preventing mass murders at school — "[w]hich is perhaps an interesting theoretical argument," Daniel Halper allows, with this practical reservation:
But when it comes to Gregory's own kids, however, they are secured every school day by armed guards.
The Gregory children go to school with the children of President Barack Obama, according to the Washington Post. That school is the co-ed Quaker school Sidwell Friends.
According to a scan of the school's online faculty-staff directory, Sidwell has a security department made up of at least 11 people. Many of those are police officers, who are presumably armed.
Moreover, with the Obama kids in attendance, there is a secret service presence at the institution, as well.
We're pretty sure that the Secret Service will continue to pack heat to protect the president despite the occasional failure of such protection to do the job. If the police officers of the elite Quaker day school are also packing heat, will they lay down their arms in support of the Gregory doctrine? Perhaps Glenn Reynolds will follow up with a question or two to clarify Gregory's thinking via Twitter.
Via InstaPundit.
JOHN adds: There is much to be said on this issue, but the hypocrisy of the politicians and celebrities who themselves rely on armed security, while assuring the rest of us that the value of guns as weapons of self-defense is a myth, is one remarkable aspect of the story. This comes from InstaPundit, too; it originated on Facebook:

I get it—a baby bottle with a built-in UV lamp for killing any germs that might be lurking in the formula. Parents would eat this up. But would it do more harm than good?
Seriously, we have become a generation of germaphobes with our Purell bottles and crazy germ-killing gadgets. We are never exposed to germs so our resistance is down. That's probably why everyone always seems to have a cold. So ditch the UV lamps, go out and and push that cart at Walmart around to toughen up. [Yanko]

A '97 Firebird, '54 DeSoto Powermaster, '61 Rambler Classic, and more!
That's Mike Noble doing an amazing burnout in Honky Tonkin', a Tri-Five gasser competing in the Gasser Circus class in the U.K. Spotted at the Santa Pod Raceway in England last year, the photo was taken by Stuart Mitchell Photography; look him up on Facebook for more cool photos.
Done in the traditional fashion and driven daily, Don Jellison built the Model A truck and '30 Ford hot rods on the left and Paul Chandler built the red Model T.
This '61 Rambler Classic, nicknamed Olive, belongs to Matthew Darnell from Romulus, Michigan. He and his twin brother Clifton run the Downriver Knights car club. The brothers said the car club keeps them out of trouble.
Wayne Tirey of Shepherd, Texas, said he built this '97 Pontiac Firebird for his son, who's sitting on top enjoying a Popsicle. The car had a blown motor when he purchased it. Wayne and his wife have spent the last few years fixing it up.
Don Allen of Conroe, Texas, has been building a '54 Ford Mainline Tudor using late-model parts in old-model fashion. Don painted a 302 to look like the original Y-block that came out of his Tudor and reused the original oil-bath air cleaner by adding a 4-bbl base and element inside.
Hank from Fountain Hills, Arizona, was in the midst of swapping heads and installing Crane 1.7:1 ratio rockers on his '95 Mustang when he found this interesting angle.
Danny Pittman sent in this photo of his nephew Julian pulling a wheelie in his mini AC Cobra. Danny said he can't afford a real one, so he bought his nephew a toy version.
That's 70-year-old Terry Wilson's homemade Soapbox Derby car he's racing in the 4th Annual Nevada City Adult Soapbox Derby benefit race this summer. His car is called Rosebud Two Point Oh.
Those black marks were laid down by Anthony Dickens' '74 Vega Wagon that's powered by a 427 Chevy with a 6-71 blower. The big-block came out of an Anglia Altered drag car from the '70s.
Willie Steele of Portland, Oregon, built this '54 DeSoto Powermaster four-door he made into a two-door while chopping the top. It has an S-10 front clip with RideTech tubular control arms, Wilwood big brakes, and a 6.0L LS engine.
This late-model Saleen Mustang is slinging around the abandoned Patterson Airfield in Keflavik, Iceland. Owner Hilmar Jacobsen is driving and photographer friend Bjorn Kristinsson from B&B Kristinsson snapped the photo.
Birgir Kristinnson of Reykjavik, Iceland, has owned this '69 Camaro since 1973. It's a beautiful cruiser that he takes to as many local Iceland car shows as he can. Friend Gudfinnur Eiriksson, also from Iceland, snapped the photo.
Ted George of Springdale, Arkansas, said he got tired of hearing his friends make fun of him about his long-idle '92 Mustang project, so he decided to get it done. He has completed about 95 percent of the bodywork and is almost ready to paint it in his garage.
Dan Parrell of Newfoundland, Canada, owns this '74 Pontiac Astre. He's spent 3,000 hours turning it into a ProStreet machine with 383ci small-block and Edelbrock aluminum heads. The photo was taken by friend and mechanic Rick Johnson.

I was going to write about today's silly purchase of a cassette of the full Bitches Brew by Miles Davis that didn't turn out as I expected since I forgot cassettes only hold 90 or so minutes of music and Bitches Brew is a double album. (It only had two cuts.)
But I just read today's WFMU blog reporting Austrian-American Joe Zawinul has died. Coincidentally, Pharoah's Dance, written by Zawinul, was one of two songs on the cassette.
I knew he was in ill health and yet, I feel sadder than I thought I might. The context of today's news doesn't help, between the anniversary of 9/11 and yesterday's testimony by General Petraeous. And Susan Sontag's contrary words in the New Yorker immediately after the attacks still resonate:
The voices licensed to follow the event seem to have joined together in a campaign to infantilize the public...A lot of thinking needs to be done, and perhaps is being done in Washington and elsewhere, about the ineptitude of American intelligence and counter-intelligence, about options available to American foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East, and about what constitutes a smart program of military defense... The unanimity of the sanctimonious, reality-concealing rhetoric spouted by American officials and media commentators in recent days seems, well, unworthy of a mature democracy.
News of the death of Joe Zawinul may also trigger a feeling of innocence lost. He, along with Miles Davis and John Coltrane, represented the first vivid examples of musical artistry and innovation I responded to as a teen (my exposure to contemporary classical music came later).
Fortunately, playing through the music of Weather Report tonight reminds me of its optimism and spirit, and reminds me I was lucky to see these eye-opening musicians in 1976 at, of all places, the Indianapolis Convention Center.
On YouTube, here's a video from the Smothers Brothers show, of the Buckingham's playing Joe Zawinul's Mercy, Mercy, Mercy:

Art Spectrum Artists' Soft Pastels are professional-quality soft pastels that provide the artist with colors that are pure, brilliant and intense - and remain that way. The very best pigments are selected and triple-milled at maximum concentration.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
ferric ferrocyanide/iron(III)-hexacyanoferrate(II)
Fe7(CN)18(H2O)x or C6FeN6H4N
Prussian Blue is a semi-transparent, deep cyan-blue with a greenish undertone and a very high tinting strength unequaled by most pigments. It is similar to Phthalo Blue unless mixed with white, when it gives up intensity and becomes smoky. It can behave erratically and less reliably in oil and watercolor form depending on its manufacture. For permanent painting Phthalo Blue is considered a more reliable choice.
Prussian Blue is lightfast and permanent in all techniques except for fresco. When mixed with Zinc White in watercolor or tempera form, it fades upon exposure to light and completely regains its chromatic strength in the dark. Modern manufacturing techniques have made this tendency less of an issue in recent years
Prussian Blue is moderately toxic if ingested. It will emit toxic hydrogen cyanide gas if heated, exposed to ultraviolet radiation, or treated with acid.
"The first of the modern pigments," Prussian Blue is the first artificial pigment with a known history. It was discovered by accident in 1704 by the Berlin color maker Heinrich Diesbach, who was trying to create a pigment with a red hue by mixing iron sulfate and potash. The potash Diesbach purchased from a local laboratory had been contaminated by animal oil and blood during previous experimentation. The resulting mixture yielded a very pale red that changed to purple and then deep blue when he tried to concentrate it. Since previous blue pigments came from lapis lazuli, an expensive stone, Diesbach's discovery was extremely important for artists of the time.
Berlin Blue, Bronze Blue, Iron Blue, Paris Blue, Paste Blue. Celestial Blue, Monthier Blue and Soluble Blue are varieties of Prussian Blue. Blue Lake is a reduced or let-down variety of Prussian Blue. Chinese Blue, Milori Blue, and Steel Blue are the three highest grades of Prussian Blue.
complex silicate of sodium and aluminum with sulfur
Na8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4 or Na6-8Al6Si6O24S2-4
Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Royals have promoted minor league hitting coordinator Jack Maloof to major league hitting coach and Andre David to assistant hitting coach.
The two of them replace Kevin Seitzer, whose contract was not renewed.
Maloof was the hitting coach for the Florida Marlins from 1999-2001. He has also worked with San Diego and Atlanta before joining the Royals in 2008 as minor league hitting coordinator.
He played a big part in the growth of young prospects such as Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas.
David will be in his 15th season with the organization. He was the Royals' hitting coach for parts of the 2005 and '06 seasons, and has spent the past three years working with prospects.

Scott Ericson: In New Canaan-Darien rivalry, moments that last
In 1949, the New Canaan football team had enough.
After losing for the third year in a row by a combined score of 134-0 and being outnumbered in male school population 164-85, the Rams cried "uncle,"dropping Darien from their schedule.
It would not be until 1956 that the teams met again on the gridiron and would not be until 1967 that the Rams finally claimed victory over their border rivals.
Then it was the Rams' turn to inflict some pain, winning the next nine games against the Blue Wave during one of the greatest runs a team from New Canaan has had.
New Canaan outscored Darien 226-12 from 1968-71 on it way to winning four straight state championships.
From 2004-2011 the Rams again won nine straight, including wins in the 2008 FCIAC and Class MM championships.
The two teams meet again in Saturday's Class L championship at Boyle Stadium with the Blue Wave riding a two-game winning streak after victories the last two Thanksgivings.
For the winning side of these streaks, there is certainly a great deal of pride, but it is the other side that is truly fascinating and really gets to the essence of sport.
Outside of these streaks most players experience a victory over their rival at least once.
A game, a play, a moment they can hang their hat on.
Last season Henry Baldwin of Darien had his, throwing four touchdown passes to erase the memory of his previous defeats at the hands of the Rams.
Baldwin's moment gave the Wave their first win since 2001 (the teams tied in 2003) but for the players who graduated from 2004-2012 the feeling is much different.
Players who graduated the year prior surely cheered Darien's win and the streak ending but many likely failed to find closure.
For them there is an emptiness, a memory that is not always present but pops back into consciousness as the game approaches each year and will never go away.
It's the losing that stings.
It's the losing that drives grown men to relive single plays that could have gone differently 20 or 30 years ago.
It was the losing that stung every New Canaan player who lost to Darien from '47-67.
It is the winning that redeemed them.
Lenny Paglialunga was a junior halfback on the 1967 New Canaan team that snapped the streak and he still remembers the game in vivid detail.
He remembers his touchdown, of course, but also the winning touchdown where he was sent in motion as a decoy as the pass was thrown to the other side of the end zone.
He also remembers the Rams carrying coach Joe Sikorski off the field.
Sikorski coached the Rams from 1949-69 amassing a 98-60-4 record, but was 0-10 against Darien (no games 50-55, 65-66), until he beat them three times to finish his career.
Sikorski won two FCIAC titles and two state crowns but it is a safe bet he placed those three wins over Darien up there with those accomplishments.
It is also a safe bet, that the players that graduated in the 20 years prior to 1967 still feel that sting from time to time.

Healthy Way Waterproofing & Mold Remediation, LLC
My name is Robert and I own Healthy Way. We specialize in basement & crawlspace waterproofing, mold remediation, structural repair & basement remodeling. I have been in the industry for 17 years. I am certified in mold remediation & abatement. I am an expert witness in both NJ & PA.
Healthy Way is the premier company in our region. We've been in business for 10 years. Our services, products & warranties are second to none. We are all about quality & customer satisfaction. More than 30% of our business comes from referrals. We offer different services to address any water, mold or structural problem. Many of our competitors offer a "cookie-cutter" method &, since no two problems are the same, these methods are only partial solutions.
I want to market Healthy Way as a company that specializes in these problems only (not a truck & ladder company that is a jack of all trades). This industry is not very reputable. Many contractors who specialize in other trades come in to this business after big rain storms to try to make a lot of money. After the rain & their money dries up they're no where to be found. Almost 20% of our business is ripping out other company's work & redoing it properly.
Our website address is http://www.HealthyWayNJ.com
Homeowners, ages 30 & up.
I want two brochures designed. One about the company, it's services & testimonials. The other will be a brochure to leave with customer's who are getting other estimates. This one will point out important things to look for with these other companies as well as questions to ask them.

I travel quite a lot to the UK and every time, I bemoan how inconvenient it is.
First the good stuff….because I have a Gold Card with Virgin then I get to use the arrivals lounge at Heathrow. They iron my shirt and suit and give me a bathroom to shower in, nice cup of coffee….perfect, I can be off the plane and ready to work in less than 30 minutes.
But, what about the hotel? What I'd really like to do is to leave some things in the hotel. Maybe 1 suit, a few shirts etc, maybe some toiletries, and my gym gear. Otherwise, I have to continue to carry this stuff back and forth across the Atlantic.
It doesn't seem too much to ask does it? They could get the shirts dry cleaned as well and of course, I'd always use the same hotel because my stuff would be stored there. Sort of like a locker that you could rent at the hotel.
Anyone know whether this exists? Could be a good business maybe.

This is the first competition of its kind to focus on historic preservation as an integral part of achieving excellence in architectural design. The aim of this contest is to spur a broad rethinking of architectural pedagogy in light of the increased importance of historic preservation in today's professional practice. Despite the fact that over one third of American architects' business comes from work on existing buildings, historic preservation remains largely absent from architectural education. The winners of this competition demonstrate how knowledge of historic preservation can elevate design by encouraging thoughtful responses to the critical aesthetic, technical, cultural, political, economic, and climactic challenges of our times. The design brief challenged students to rethink Eliel Saarinen's 1942 Cranbrook Academy of Art, a National Historic Landmark located in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in light of the current and projected functional needs that the institution has for its museum, library and archives. Competition participants were asked to design a museum and library for the 21st century that could not be imagined without the Saarinen structures. The three prize winners and one honorable mention were selected from among 185 individual and team submissions (a total of 740 boards representing 66 schools from around the world and approximately 400 student participants). The distinguished jury was composed by: Tod Williams, partner of Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects; Marja-Riitta Norri, architect and former director of the Finnish Architecture Museum; Martin Finio, principal of Christoff: Finio Architecture; and Jorge Otero-Pailos, professor of historic preservation at Columbia University and editor of the journal Future Anterior, who was also responsible for the competition brief. The competition was organized by the American Institute of Architects Historic Resources Committee (AIA/HRC), funded by the National Center for Technology and Preservation and Technology Training (NCPTT), a unit of the National Park Service with additional sponsorship by DOCOMOMO US. Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation graciously hosted the competition jury.
