Do I Need a Home Security System in Granby?
When you're a city as large as Granby, with a growing population of over 2,122 folks, a home security system seems like a great investment to us. The Granby crime rate in over the past several years has increased from 0 crimes per 100k citizens to 42 over that period of time. The national average was 2,362 last year.
Even if you aren't too worried about a break-in at your Granby home there are several other important features that a security system can provide. Many include smoke and CO2 detectors as well as outdoor cameras for those pesky package thieves you've probably heard about in Granby of late that generally aren't reported to police. Here are the raw crime rate numbers for your consideration:

Price of a Home Security System in Granby
A home security system in Granby will cost about $263.86 to install and between $20 and $50 per month for active monitoring services. You can often get free installation and even free equipment, too so be sure to check for those deals first. See the home security deals for Granby above for specific information on pricing that changes frequently.
Granby Home Security Systems with Monitoring Services Near Me
Some home security systems do not include monitoring at all. For example, you can purchase the hardware (a Nest, Google or Simplisafe device) without the monitoring. Meaning if someone trips the alarm in your home, it will sound and possibly scare the intruder away but the police won't be contacted. It costs a bit to have the monitoring included with your home security system in Granby but we think it's worth it for those times you're out of town.
Wireless Home Security Solutions in Granby
All of the above home security solutions are basically wireless. Often there is a power cord for things like security cameras but they'll connect to the master security panel via Wifi or Bluetooth

Some of us are old enough to remember when electric football first became one of the coolest toys.
Versions had been around since just after World War II. But when the NFL attached its name to the vibrating game in 1967, it quickly became one of those must-haves for many young boys.
Not that most of us could really get the plastic players to do what we wanted.
For those of you in the Madden NFL generation, this will sound really old school. There were no joy sticks. No controllers of any kind. You fiddled with little bits of plastic on their bases that were supposed to send the players in the right directions, set them down on the "field," switched the game on and hoped that they went the right ways.
More often, as this blogger recalls, everybody ended up in a clump in the corner.
But it was football! It was electric! It seemed so modern!
Now, it is with some sadness that we pass along word that the man who created the game has died. Norman Sas was 87, The New York Times reports.
Sas, the Times adds, will soon be inducted into the Minature Football Coaches Association's Hall of Fame. But we'd like to honor him The Two-Way way, with a video we found on YouTube. The wonderfully enthusiastic father and son you'll hear have produced a clip that captures the joys and frustrations of the game perfectly.

There are some parts of your house that you always need to prioritize; one of them is the roof. This part protects you from the heat of sunlight or rain water when the rainy day comes. When you find signs of damage on the roof, immediate repair is essential to prevent further damages. Conducting roof repair is easy; you only need to call a contractor and he will fix the damage on the roof. However, finding ways on how to minimize the reparation cost is sometimes complicated. Home improvement is a project that needs much funding and roof repair is no exception. With so many needs that you have to fulfill this month, cutting expenses becomes a crucial thing to do.
Before starting your roof repair project, the first thing to do is asking for help from a reliable contractor to inspect the roof. Deblocage rideau metallique This way enables you to know the damage level of the roof. Once you have figured out the damage level, then you can start finding ways to minimize the repair cost. Below are the tips to minimize roof repair cost based on the damage level:
1. Consider roof coating as an alternative of your roof repair. Coating systems are popular option for homeowners these days. Roof coatings are mostly used by commercials with flat roofs. However, petroleum-based coatings are now also being intended for residential asphalt roofs. Roof coatings become more popular as this system is more affordable. As long as your roof deck is still in a good condition, it doesn't matter to install roof coatings.
2. Replacing the roof is sometimes a solution that cut the cost to the minimal level. Most people think that a repair is the best way to save money but it's not always necessarily the case. When your deck is still in a good condition, you may only need to replace the overlay. However, there are situations when installing a new roof can be the best solution to cut the cost. When your roof has reached its lifespan, replacing a brand new roof can be much cheaper than multiple repairs.
3. To minimize the cost, you should also consider about roof materials. Some points that you need to consider when choosing roof materials are the material price, installation cost and the area you live.

An Egyptian man who was beaten and dragged naked by riot police during a violent protest changed his story on Sunday, telling prosecutors that security forces harmed him — a day after he accused protesters of undressing and assaulting him.
The beating was caught on camera by The Associated Press, and the video was broadcast live on Egyptian television late Friday as protests raged in the streets outside the presidential palace. The AP video showed police trying to bundle the naked man into a police van after beating him.
The beating prompted a rare statement of regret from the Interior Ministry, which promised to investigate the attack. The president's office said it was pained by the images and called the assault "shocking."
A new video emerged online Sunday of Hamda Saber in a hospital bed telling activists that police apologized for any wrongdoing. A male and female are heard urging him to speak honestly and not to accept any payments for absolving police in any abuse.
Saber was receiving treatment at a police hospital when he told prosecutors that protesters undressed him during clashes, denying police assaulted him. Later, speaking in a telephone interview to the Egyptian satellite channel Al Hayat, Saber said he changed his story to blame police after pressure from family and friends.
State prosecutors have since moved him to a public hospital.
"I said police are the ones who beat me," Saber tells the TV presenter. "By the time I reached the armored car, they had undressed me and my pants and were still dragging me."
On Sunday a 20-year-old man wounded in Friday's clashes died in a hospital. He was the second to die from the violence that night. The Health Ministry said both were shot in the head and chest.
Activists and the opposition accuse the police of using excessive force against protesters, some of whom have attacked government facilities and policemen.
Saber said police were beating him and ordering him to stand up and that he was unable to because of a bird shot injury to his foot. He told the TV presenter he was scared to be arrested and thrown into the armored vehicle.
Saber then said that his family, including his children, threatened to shun him unless he told the truth about the police attack.
"After becoming a hero, I was being ridiculed online and on Facebook and being accused of not being a real Egyptian and of taking money."
"I tell everyone at the presidential palace and Tahrir (Square) that I am sorry."
He said the officials at the police hospital treated him well, and that he was not pressured to distort what happened. He said he initially gave incorrect testimony to try to avoid more problems.
Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim angered activists Saturday when he told reporters that initial results of the state prosecutor's investigation showed that police were absolved of direct abuse and that protesters were the ones who undressed Saber.
The march on the palace Friday evening, where President Mohammed Morsi was not present, was part of a wave of demonstrations in cities around the country called by opposition politicians, trying to wrest concessions from Morsi after around 60 people were killed in protests, clashes and riots over the past week.

Lessons From Bowflex
When it comes to buying trinket-y, worthless gadgets, I am as guilty as a career woman in a shoe store on payday. I buy things, usually smaller items I can talk myself into buying on the spurt of the moment. I've got needless computer keyboards, pens, pencils, desktop items, flashlights, and office supplies all over my place, why? Because that tactile part of me, like a small red devil above my left shoulder, convinces me that making these senseless purchases will somehow make me feel more satisfied in accomplishing whatever purpose I bought the item for.
No pattern is more predictable than the cycles of satisfaction (or should I say, dissatisfaction); we want an item, then we want it really badly, so much so that it overcomes any doubts about whether or not we need it or can afford it. So we buy it, have brief fun with it, quickly get tired of it, and then think back on how wanting it was better than actually having it. In the end, we wish we hadn't bought it at all! However long any satisfaction might have lasted us, it wasn't long enough, all things considered.
It's funny how something so vainglorious like Bowflex can teach us big-league lessons about life, religion, and human nature; you have those who seriously want to get in shape, and then you have those who are just toying with the idea. The small irony of it is, those who are no-nonsense about maintaining their bodies will likely not be interested in something as piddly as Bowflex. They would veritably have – lo and behold – a gym membership! But more germane to our subject, those who buy into the claims of Bowflex infomercials parallel those who buy into the assertions of religion, though not in every way.
For instance, you have those who buy into religion, and many of them remain satisfied with it, but with Bowflex, I don't think I've known anyone who remained satisfied with it for long! Most of us buy it and then hate it. You have those like me, for instance, who buy the damn machine and soon get tired of it (those of us who were once religious and became disenchanted with it). Then you have those who never got duped into buying the blasted thing in the first place (those who were never taken in by the charm of religious appeal), and you have those who bought the piece of junk and got tired of it, more or less (those who have been religious and then grew weary of all organized and fundamentalist forms of religion, rejecting them for much more liberal and science-friendly versions). They too have seen for themselves how disappointing faith systems are when the elaborate euphoria of ecclesiasticism wears off, when the harm done by "born again" believers becomes apparent, when the false-alarm-sounding mentality of evangelicals comes to light.
Those who have experienced the flaws of faith are not impressed with hollow religious promises for quick fixes or miracle cures for society's ills, nor are they ready to buy into dubious claims on how to make a better tomorrow—anymore than a smart consumer watching a Bowflex infomercial will be inclined to buy it because of those nicely tanned, washboard-abdominal-muscled models who are paid to show off the product. Not a one of those finely tuned human specimens got their illustrious bodies from using that machine, but the company wants you to think they did.
The smart shopper realizes that not only are these claims the products of deceitful advertising, but the machine will not feel as satisfying in its use as it appears it will from the view of the couch, watching TV. The device might be too cheaply made, perhaps, or not big enough, not sturdy enough, or just not as fun to work out on as it seems it will be (I have found this to be the case with every "as seen on TV" piece of garbage I ever purchased!). This is in contrast to the believer who looks with elation at Christianity and sees a system of belief that will be the perfect cure-all for a world longing for happiness and answers; stop AIDS by not being homosexual; stop rape and adultery by outlawing pornography and immodest dress; stop terrorist attacks like those of 911 by making abortion illegal so that God will be moved to providentially protect us again; stop school shootings by bringing prayer and the ten commandments back into classrooms; it all sounds so simple and effective to the pious mind, to those living in the black-and-white world of theism.
The wise consumer knows that if he really wants to get in shape, it won't be through knickknack-y exercise machines, and cute, jazzy-looking equipment. It will be through hard work and the embracing of a healthy lifestyle—eating right and exercising regularly. It's about life changes, not nifty products. When it comes to considering a smart, pragmatic view of life, healthy amounts of skepticism and cynicism are more than called for. A pious life of folded hands and bent knees is not the only way to go, I don't care what some preacher or priest tells you.
Equivocally, adopting religious systems to live by will not solve the world's major problems; they will not bring peace, will not answer questions, and will not improve the quality of life. Religions will not somehow Utopian-ize society as some expect it to. If it could, the world would have been a mostly peaceful and wonderful place since before recorded history, and still would be.
"When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." (Proverbs 16:7)
"But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." (Psalm 37:11)
Uh…not quite! The Holy Land and surrounding areas – that area on Earth with the highest population of "righteous" men in any one place – is far from peaceful and leaves much to be desired, as any remotely westernized thinker must admit. Just look at Islam verses the different sects of Islam, Islam verses Judaism, Islam verses the west and Christianity, and we would be fatuous not to mention the feuding Irish Catholic and Protestant groups throughout the world who relish murdering one another on an incredibly wide scale. Incidentally, the Bible writers seemed to have quite a learning disability when it came to identifying peace. It was prophesied that Josiah would die "in peace," and yet he died by a pagan king's arrow in an unnecessary confrontation (2 Kings 22:20; 2 Kings 23:29-30; 2 Chronicles 35:23-24). A similar fate befell Zedekiah who was also promised by God through Jeremiah that he would die in peace, though it certainly did not happen (Jeremiah 34:4-5; 52:10-11). Well, if these are biblically "peaceful" ways to die, I don't want to even try and think of violent ones!
Like many other well done paid advertisements, a strongly promoted product becomes a sensation where a less promoted product loses out. The biggest and most successful businesses advertise heavily, from Apple Computers to Yahoo. Advertisers target one of two things—need or want (sometimes both). By doing a great job reminding their viewers that a nice, hot, muscular body is the best kind to have (with the proper lighting, stage presentation, camera work, and tanned, pumped-up, oiled-up bodies), Bowflex fosters the want behind the sale and is thus able to move these machines by the thousands each year.
Proponents of Christianity play up the need angle; man is a sinner, depraved and wicked to the core, and he is spiritually stupid too, unable to use his natural mind to appropriately and humanely conduct himself, and life is such that it's hard to find happiness amidst all the depression anyway. So what is the cure? Religion, of course—always each particular preacher's own version of it. Mankind needs help from the next world. Mankind needs the gospel. But like the wise consumer, the astute freethinker sees through all such lies. He realizes man is fully capable of producing goodness, dignity, and happiness all by himself. In the case of religion, people are being convinced that they have a need for an invisible product; Christianity comes along, says mankind has a "sin problem" (one we would not know exists except for Christianity telling us about it), and then gives the solution to it. As Dan Barker put it, "Would you be thankful to a person who cut you with a knife in order to sell you a bandage?"
Scam artists are kept alive and in business by bad consumers who make bad financial decisions. The world needs smarter consumers, but it also needs a smarter populace, one that won't so easily buy into the claims of creationists, pseudo-scientists, and religious idealists, like hatemonger preachers and fascist religionist politicians. But the road to improvement is a long one to travel, and it doesn't look as though many want to arrive at that destination.

Trial date set for Justin Bieber in Florida
Prosecutor Daniel Diaz-Balart also said at a brief hearing that no plea offer has been made for the 20-year-old pop singer, who has pleaded not guilty. Bieber's attorney, Roy Black, also said there was no plea deal on the table and none had been rejected, even though first offenders in most similar cases are offered a plea to avoid potential jail time.
"All we're going to say is, we're going to prepare for a trial and that Mr. Bieber has pleaded not guilty," Black told reporters.
The initial March trial date was postponed while attorneys for news organizations and Bieber wrestled with release of police videos of him giving a urine sample for a drug test. Those videos were made public last week with sensitive segments blacked out.
Bieber and R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff were arrested Jan. 23 in Miami Beach after what police called an illegal drag race with high-end sports cars. Breath tests showed Bieber's blood-alcohol content was below the 0.02 limit for underage drivers. Other tests detected marijuana and Xanax.
Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield said Sharieff has a separate April 7 trial date on a DUI charge. He too has pleaded not guilty.
Black was also asked about a deposition Bieber gave last week in a lawsuit filed by a photographer who claims he was roughed up and threatened by one of the singer's bodyguards. Video of that deposition quickly began appearing on Internet sites, which Black criticized Tuesday as an invasion of Bieber's privacy.
Among other things, Black said, Bieber was asked in the deposition about topics such as his relationships with singers Selena Gomez and Usher "that had nothing to do with the case." A judge previously denied motions to keep Bieber's deposition sealed, he added.
"He has absolutely no privacy," Black said. "There's absolutely no protection for somebody like Justin.'

Generators and Versions
The default on mcplots is to display the most recent generator versions that have so far been implemented on the site. If that is all you want, you may start clicking in the menu on the left right away.
We also store results generated with previous versions. This page gives you the possibility to ask for some specific generator version(s) (previous or current) to be displayed on the site. This can be useful, for instance, if the default version for a particular generator on mcplots is newer than what you are using for your analysis.
How to choose your generator version(s)
Below is a table showing which generators are currently available on mcplots. Leave the version selection links as "latest" if you just wish to see the most recent generator version available for each plot (the default for mcplots). If you wish instead to see only specific version(s) of each generator displayed on the site, use the corresponding links to select which version(s) to display.
Note: you may return to this page at any time and select other versions and/or revert back to the "latest" (default) selection.
Note also: not all plots may have been generated with all versions, so when you select specific (especially older) versions, some curves may disappear. This may also occur simply if some tunes are not available in all versions. If you are sure that a certain curve ought to exist for a certain generator version (i.e., it is there for the default version and should be available also for the older one) and you are not seeing it here, send us a mail, and we may be able to generate some statistics for it.

The regime U.S.-backed Tunisian dictator Zine el Abidine Ben Ali has been the target of a nationwide popular uprising in recent weeks, which neither shooting into crowds of unarmed demonstrators nor promised reforms has thus far quelled. Whether this unarmed revolt results in the regime's downfall remains to be seen. In recent decades, largely nonviolent insurrections such as this have toppled corrupt authoritarian rulers in the Philippines, Serbia, Bolivia, Ukraine, the Maldives, Georgia, Mali, Nepal and scores of other countries and have seriously challenged repressive regimes in Iran, Burma and elsewhere.
On the one hand, the Tunisian opposition seems rather disorganized and the protests largely spontaneous. The lack of a stricter nonviolent discipline at some of the demonstrations, which at times have deteriorated into full-scale riots, has given the regime the political space for increased repression. At the same time, the dissatisfaction with the regime is widespread and growing.
In the course of some civil insurrections, like Iran and Burma, Washington has strongly condemned the regime and provided strong words of encouragement for the pro-democracy activists challenging their repression. In a couple of cases, like Serbia and Ukraine, the United States and other Western countries even provided limited amounts of economic assistance to pro-democracy groups. Most of the time, however, particularly if the dictatorship is a U.S. ally like Tunisia, Washington has either backed the government or largely remained silent.
Indeed, rather than praise Tunisia's largely nonviolent pro-democracy movement and condemn its repressive regime, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has instead expressed her concern over the impact of the "unrest and instability" on the "very positive aspects of our relationship with Tunisia," insisting that the U.S. is "not taking sides" and that she will "wait and see" before even communicating directly with Ben Ali or his ministers.
In addition, as the popular uprising against the Ben Ali dictatorship commenced last month, Congress weighed in with support of the regime by passing a budget resolution that included $12 million in security assistance to Tunisia, one of only five foreign governments (the others being Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Colombia) provided direct taxpayer-funded military aid.
Along with limited political freedom and government accountability, the poor economic situation in Tunisia has been the major focus of the protests, particularly among unemployed educated youth. Clinton acknowledged this issue in noting that "One of my biggest concerns in this entire region are the many young people without economic opportunities in their home countries." Rather than calling for a more democratic and accountable government in Tunisia, however, her suggestion for resolving the crisis is that the economies of Tunisia and other North African states "need to be more open."
In reality, however, Tunisia – more than almost any country in the region – has followed the dictates of Washington and the International Monetary Fund in instituting "structural adjustment programs" in privatizing much of its economy and allowing for an unprecedented level of "free trade." These policies have increased rather than decreased unemployment while enriching relatives and cronies of the country's top ruling families. This has been privately acknowledged by the U.S. embassy in a recently-released Wikileaks cable, which labeled the U.S.-backed regime as a "kleptocracy." The U.S. has also been backing IMF efforts to get the Tunisian government to eliminate the remaining subsidies on fuel and basic food stuffs and fuel and further deregulate its financial sector.
Rather than anti-American extremism in the Arab world being a result of hostility towards "our freedoms," it is such policies backing such corrupt authoritarian regimes as Tunisia which have alienated so many young Arabs from the United States. As John F. Kennedy once warned, "Those who make peaceful evolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable."

Only 19% of treasure assets – which include items such as precious jewellery, fine art, antique furniture, classic automobiles and precious metals – are held for financial motivations , according to the latest report in the Wealth Insights series from Barclays. However, Middle East respondents report that 41% of their treasure assets held for financial motivations, ranking them highly compared with the US, Europe and Asia at 9%, 11% and 34% respectively.
Despite the increased public interest in collectibles and record prices being set at auction, the report finds that investors are far more likely to buy treasure assets for emotional, rather than financial reasons. A third of the 2,000 wealthy respondents surveyed globally confirmed that they were holding more treasure types today than five years ago.
Launched today (11 June 2012), the report, Profit or Pleasure? Exploring the Motivations Behind Treasure Trends, provides an in-depth study of investment trends across the world in these 'treasure assets' as well as offering insight into the financial and emotional motivations for wealthy individuals holding these particular assets. The report looks at the value these high net worth collectors place on their possessions, as well as considering questions of social utility around accumulating treasure.
Globally, high net worth individuals hold on average around 10% of their total net worth in treasure assets, however, this rises to nearly a fifth in the UAE and Saudi Arabia who have 17% and 18% respectively of their net worth tied up in treasure assets. For individuals in Brazil, China and Singapore treasure assets make up, on average, a sixth of their total wealth, whilst those in the UK (7%), India (3%) and Qatar (2%) hold more conservative levels.
Rory Gilbert, Managing Director and Head of Wealth and Investment Management, Barclays, Middle East and North Africa, said: "This report highlights that there will always be both an emotional and a financial motivation in making a decision to buy a treasure asset and one motivation always takes precedence. Given the difficulties associated with maintaining, securing and liquidating treasure assets, our study suggests that emotional motivations will always pay the greater return. Treasure may, if you're lucky or very knowledgeable, give you a financial return, but buy something you like and it will always give you the emotional return of enjoyment."
Treasure Trends
Globally, a number of different factors appear to affect the popularity of treasure asset types, from the age of the investor to the wider economic stability of their region. In the Middle East, precious jewellery is by far the most popular treasure asset type for wealthy individuals, owned by 79% of UAE respondents, 85% of respondents in Saudi Arabia and 86% of survey respondents in Qatar.
Amongst global respondents, age is an important differentiator. Fine art and antiques tend to be more popular amongst older individuals, while the younger generation prefers cars, precious metals and jewellery. In general, younger individuals also tend to hold a higher proportion of their total wealth in treasure assets, which experts have attributed in part to young people's willingness to adopt higher-risk investment strategies.
Dr Greg B Davies, Head of Behavioural Finance at Barclays comments: "Whilst the type of treasure assets people choose to invest in varies slightly from country to country, the growth in the popularity of treasure is consistent with a general move towards simplicity, familiarity and tangibility in investing. Investing in assets as a like-for-like alternative to traditional asset classes should, however, be done with extreme caution as there are many attendant risks which range from the costs of insurance and upkeep of treasure to the subjective nature of these markets."
Treasure Motives
Interestingly, the report finds that the most significant motivation for holding treasure assets is enjoyment with nearly two thirds (62%) of treasure assets globally and 75% of treasure owned by UAE respondents held for this reason. In contrast, just 19% of treasure assets globally are held for financial reasons, although Qatar (with 50% of treasure assets held for financial reasons) and Saudi Arabia (40%) buck the global trend to some degree.
Social and heritage reasons are also important for choosing to own treasure assets, with the global wealthy reporting wanting to protect over one third (37%) of their treasure assets for future generations to enjoy, and holding more than a quarter (26%) because they enjoy sharing these treasure assets with friends.
"The report uncovers that investing in treasure can often be more about enjoyment than financial returns" Dr Greg B Davies continues. "What's interesting is that financial and emotional motivations seem to work independently of each other. It was found that the more that collectors say they acquire treasure for financial reasons, the less enjoyment they tend to derive from it."
The Endowment Effect
The report also reveals that wealthy collectors often require a very high price increase before they consider selling on their treasure. Owners of fine art, for example, report a need for on average a 62% price increase in the year after purchase before they are willing to consider a sale.
This is particularly true in the case of precious jewellery; Qatari HNWIs report a need for a 100% price increase in the year after purchase before they are willing to consider a sale, with this figure at 73% and 51% for Saudi Arabia and UAE respondents respectively.
The endowment effect, whereby people expect a higher price for an item when selling it than they would be willing to pay for it, is prevalent amongst wealthy collectors. As Dr Greg B Davies explains: "Once people own something, they start to ascribe value to that object, simply through having owned it. This means that they are not willing to sell it at the same price for which they would buy it."
Additionally, some types of treasure asset are more likely to be considered priceless than others – that is, they would not part with it at any price. Just under half of respondents (44%) who own precious jewellery, fine art sculptures and antique furniture consider their treasure to be priceless, the report found.
The Social Utility Debate
Significantly, the report reveals that one in ten treasure assets are held so that no one else can have them. This highlights complex questions about the social utility of holding precious items, which may be of cultural value, or important to society.
Although 61% of respondents say they would be prepared to loan some of their possessions to a museum or exhibition if asked, fewer (41%) feel that there is a duty to share valuable possessions for the good of society.
Dr Greg B Davies concludes: "Investing in art can be highly positive on a broader social level if the collector is willing to act as a custodian to the item and share it as a cultural treasure with a much wider audience. There is a school of thought however, that argues that investors can create greater social benefits if they invest directly in productive businesses or new ventures. Many will feel that this rings true in the current environment, prompting both a relevant and emotive debate."

Hi Lori!ReplyDelete
Finally got a chance to look at your blog - great fun! Love the Easter candy poll :) I vote for the mini eggs, too!

Keep having fun!

Lori I love the updated blog page!! It really looks great :) Oh and Adam and I finally got a chance to stop in at Zen Berry... I only wish it was closer to me - that was by far the best latte I've ever had.ReplyDelete
So glad you like the updated look. I am also glad you enjoyed the latte. I will pass that on to the owner.ReplyDelete
Now have you entered to win the next contest? Of course people may hunt you down if you win a second one. lol.
Thanks Leah
Just dropping by from PW saw you were in Canada and was curious. My Mom loves and pursues geneology as well and in her 80's has started blogging about family stories and pictures! Have a great day!ReplyDelete
Lori, thank you for stopping by & for following my blog. I'm so glad you enjoyed the spring fluffing party & I hope you'll come back often.ReplyDelete
Lori, We are in Ontario and it has been a great experience less the snow part. I am so glad we moved here but miss good ol' Texas. Thanks for the geneology offers, I'll mention to my Mom! JenniReplyDelete
Hi Lorie,ReplyDelete
Just paying you a visit back! I love the eggs in the last post - they are so beautiful. I've almost forgotten that Easter is around the corner. Now I need to start thinking about it!
Hi Lori! Thanks gor stopping by my blog! I just love all your outdoor decor! Can't wait to see it in full bloom this summer! I'm in love with your birdhouses below, too. Very nice!ReplyDelete
If summer ever gets here I will make sure there are pictures. I remember trying to get that big bird house home in my old mini van. The rusted metal roofs cut into the seat. That didn't go over well. Then I cut myself a couple times. I don't think I will move it any time soon.ReplyDelete
Hi Lori!ReplyDelete
Nooooo... don't tell me I'm really haunted. remember .. I don't believe in ghosts!
Oh well.. if they are here, at least they don't eat much. :-) Not unlike my kids and their friends. I have two girls in their 20s. I see you have two boys. My mom, who had two of each variety of kid, said that boys were easier on their Moms.
LOVE your blog name. I always ask my girls if a new boyfriend has insanity in his family -- cause if he doesn't, he sure won't fit in with us!
Best... Cass

Nifty blog! I've been having fun reading your previous posts! I'm telling you now - I'm stealing your prime rib recipe & calling it my own. ;) Think I might give that one a go for Easter.ReplyDelete
Enjoy the prime rib. I can smell it cooking already.ReplyDelete
Serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. It has been a fortunate stroke of serendipity to find you and this lovely blog! You love Italy, and I'm crazy about trees. Every kind, perhaps even family trees... Off to the recipe "branch" (tee hee) now.ReplyDelete
Mille grazie for your kind comments Lola. Glad you could stop by. Family trees are my favorite but a nice Himalayan Pine or an Arbutus are stunning too.ReplyDelete
Hey, Lori, now I recognize you, since I see the little icon with your name. I just wish I had the time to get to know all of you better, but there's so many of you readers out there, I just can't keep up with all of you! :) But, I'm happy that you stop by to see me, so thanks for that. Glad you are getting some visits too. :)ReplyDelete
Beautiful blog. Love the pictures of the sushi. I love sushi but don't eat enough of it. Amazing your dog likes it though! My dog will eat strawberry yoghurt - strange.ReplyDelete
Thanks for popping by my blog. I'll be back to see yours as it is interesting and quite captivating.
Thanks MOB. We give our dog plain yoghurt when her stomach is gurgling. She will eat anything but raw mushrooms. She quite plainly is a pig.ReplyDelete
Well I just dropped by to say hello and to thank you for visiting with us at TwirlandTaste. Like you I love labs, and thanks to my mother and aunts know a little bit about geneology - DAR among others. I tell my mother she has as many papers as my dog - I love them both!ReplyDelete
Happy Twirls and Happy Easter!
Just found your blog from Blissfully Domestic. I love Geneology and want to do so much more of mine. So fascinating and love finiding out the history. Love to be a new follower to your blog! Looking forward to more of your posts!ReplyDelete
Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
Blue is not my first choice either (Amsterdam Blue) but I keep it contained in my office. Great site you have. I have been deep into my family genealogy for a few years now, amazing what juicy tid bits you uncover. ~Cathy~
Okay, I think you can capture the blog button now...you should be able to right-click on it and save it to your computer so that you can implement it into your blog's layout page.ReplyDelete
Thanks in advance! :-)
Lori, your blog is so pretty. You were menioning where I put my stuff in the off season. I really don't change things out all the time. I do my foyer table for the seasons & sometimes my sideboard in the DR, but the rest of my kitchen stuff you see stays out all the time. I don't have that much storage space!ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting The Quiet Life.ReplyDelete

Terrible timewaster but fun!
Hi Lori! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving sweet comments. I'll add you to my bloglist and visit back now that I've met you! BeckyReplyDelete
The amount of people doing genealogy research now is staggering. I do always say that genealogists are the most generous people openly sharing their time, tips, research and family trees with so many.ReplyDelete
Also thanks to all of you for your comments. They truly are appreciated.
A garden without daisies is like wine without grapes and oil without olives!ReplyDelete
I've tagged you for a meme over at my blog. Play along if you feel inclined... Ciao
Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
Thanks for clueing me in on that flower problem I have!
Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
Call me blonde, but I don't know if I am supposed to comment here after a post or in the comment section after each post!! Anyway, wanted to say thanks for visiting and thanks for giving me a chance to find another great blog to follow. I have read all the way down to the suitcase mishap and I am still giggling! I think we very much have the same sense of humor!!
By the way, my brother in law married a girl from Vancouver (now my SIL) and so we were there for the first time last May for the wedding. It was just so beautiful (Vancouver...and the wedding). We rented a home in Kit--- can't remember but it was fabulous.
Anyway, come visit me sometime!
You have a great blog and was so glad I found it! I love the title! Thanks for stopping by.ReplyDelete
Gotta tell you how much I love the title of your blog! Fabulous!ReplyDelete
Just stopping by to say hello! Hope you have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by Miss Bloomers, so nice of you to comment about your experience with stargazers. I love the name of your blog and so glad you stopped by so I could get connected to yours! Thanks, Sonia/Miss BloomerReplyDelete
Your blog is so much fun!ReplyDelete
Thank you all so much for the kind words. I do get a lot of compliments on the name of my blog but it really is true. Every family has them and if those people around you are just fine then maybe you are the NUT in the family tree. I'm just saying.ReplyDelete
Lori !!!!!! I love you ! Thanks so much for the tip on my blog to switch my paints around....nowReplyDelete
why didn't I think of that, LOL ! I read your post when I was at work today and as soon as I got home I made the switch...I will have to post the picture under the original post - because it
looks to Fab ! Thanks again !
Hugs ~ Kammy

Thanks for stopping by --ReplyDelete
You have a great place to visit --
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your wonderful suggestions on our new post idea. I love your blog - it is so interesting!ReplyDelete
Lori, thanks for stopping by my new kitchen & no, I didn't paint the tole trays in there. I have 3 of them that I've collected, mostly from yardsales. Wish I was that talented!ReplyDelete
I commented on a previous post that included a link. But it also had the words JUNK MAIL in it, the bane of my existence.ReplyDelete
Lori, I love the name of your blog! I have napkins that say, "My family tree is full of nuts," and guess what? It's true!ReplyDelete
Sheila :-)
Hi LoriReplyDelete
You stopped by my blog a few weeks ago and it's taken me this long to come and visit you. I'm enjoying what I read and I'll come back and visit!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. I really like yours. I plan on stopping back by.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend.
Thanks for stopping by to visit me on Sundays.ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by to see me -- I just dropped over to say "Hi!" to you -- love your blog!ReplyDelete
Lori E, I couldn't get to your comments for two whole days! I'm glad I did today. Whew!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for liking my blog and yes, you have the permission to grab the Hostess graphic. I think it'll look great in your blog! Enjoy!
I happened to find your blog tonight and I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed reading it.ReplyDelete
Lori - so nice to meet you. And thanks for dropping by my little blog. I LOVED finding yours and can hardly wait to spend some time going through the past and definitely keeping up with the future.ReplyDelete
One of my new brother-in-laws is huge into his family geneology and I would love to start thinking about my family (just seems daunting) but retirement is looming and I am also on the west coast so who knows if our paths will (or have) crossed.
Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my blog! When I get home & have more surfing time, I'll have fun browsing here!
GM Lori...girl if you came here I would not put you on the shelf with th Blak Jack gum we would chew and talk each others ears off instead ha ha!! Thanks for coming by and seeing my old junk my friend..May you have a great day...hugs and smiles Gl♥riaReplyDelete
This is such a fantastic blog so I'm going to follow you. It's like finding yourself in a treasure trove with so much to see and read. You are a talent! Thanks for popping by my blog. You are always so kind to comment.ReplyDelete
Hey Lori !ReplyDelete
Yes, we have 52 weeks a year in the U.S. too..so funny I put 26....that's because I work as a payroll clerk and everyone is paid bi-weekly so - 26 times a year..how funny that I was comparing that to dish collecting...yes, you are right I can collect a whole bunch more !
Yeah !
Hugs ~ Kammy
Hi Lori! Thanks so much for dropping by! And about the cats...yes, I like them! Can you tell??? lol...DebbieReplyDelete
A garden isn't much without some good old-fashioned daisies in it. I always have Shastas in mine. But the heat is sending them packing for the season. I see you're proficient in genealogy. I would love to learn more about that, as there are so many blanks in my life. Don't know if my mother is alive. Never met my father nor any member of his family. Kind of a crazy story I was born into. Siblings that probably don't know I exist. Etc.ReplyDelete
I love your blog and your precious "guestbook"! The title of your blog still makes me laugh! Thank you for stopping by the cabin...I think I must be the slowest blogger in bloggyland! lol :-) L~ReplyDelete
Hey Lori !ReplyDelete
My hubby goes to Hot August Nights too ! He has already bought his plane tickets and hotel room for this year ! I went a couple of years ago but won't be going this year......
Hugs ~ Kammy
What a great idea!ReplyDelete
A Guest Book!
My sister is the genealogist of our family. We have been on several trips to search the micro fiche in libraries, too.
Glad To have found your fantastic blog!
I'll be back often!
Hi Lori! Have a great 4th of July weekend!ReplyDelete
Very clever way to keep this on top, but I'm curious about how you got it to go ahead a post instead of just scheduling the post for whenever in 2010.ReplyDelete
Hi Lori, yesterday, I went on your blog and as soon as I was done commenting, blogger tried to open zillion windows of your blog! I had to shut down and reboot. I don't know what happened!ReplyDelete
Btw, DT is Dollar Tree, a store where everything is priced at $1, so you can easily set a budget for anything you're thinking of doing.
Vintage Daisies, a cabin and a lab. Where do I sign up? Oh yeah, I already did! We don't have a creek but our Sunny loves fetching plastic fish out of the pool. His photo is on the right side of my blog along with Oreo, our crazy pound puppy.ReplyDelete
Greetings from New York, Lori! Just stopping by to check out your lovely blog.ReplyDelete
I've been sick, I nearly died in March of exhaustion here in the 21st century...I can't quite hold on to what day it is or month...I really getting better, thanks to just sitting around in my raggity old undewear and blogging..soooooooReplyDelete
I make me a bowl of oatmeal and apples and deceide to check out a few things before the meds really start kicking in...........2010 WTF, it took me forever to see the disclaimer.
My daughter told me to STAY OFF THE COMPUTER after I take my medicine for the night. I'm here to say so sorry, I hit your site and another one in my ooowwwoooowwww state of mind.ReplyDelete
Again, so sorry.
Hello Lori, thanks for your visit on Foodie Friday. My grands have all gone home as of yesterday and I have a boatload of visiting to do. No time for commenting in all my chaos. I have been reading your blog and love it. 'and your humor'ReplyDelete
No coffee yet this am so I must get some NOW. I am like you and discovered blogging late in my life. I first read Pioneer Woman too. My friend Beverly at How Sweet the Sound helped me get started a year ago. No link, sorry. Now for my coffee.
Lori--I have been at the beach and missed your poll! One of the reasons I comment is that I feel I have made some friends through blogging and I like to chat with them! I even missed y'all while I was away! Keep posting; I'll keep commenting :)ReplyDelete
Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
Just catching up, I enjoyed my visit. I leave comments because I like receiving comments. It is so fun to see what the wonderful world of blogland is up to. Loved your blog, see you around soon.

Daisies are FAB flowers!ReplyDelete
OK, I had a half finished comment and then my little pup decided to pounce the keyboard and I have no idea where it went...but, as I had been saying...Thanks for stopping by and I love your blog. I am now headed over to see your Santas and can't wait to see them all because I am a certified Christmasaholic!ReplyDelete
Robin@Miscellaneous Thoughts
Hi Lorie, I enjoyed visiting your blog. I also am a historian of sorts; at least family members think I am the keeper of all things historical. We have a lot of old photos, but not going back much before the turn of last century. My dad wrote our family history--he was an avid geneologist.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment on my blog! I'll bookmark your blog and check back!
Thanks for your wonderful comments on my kitchen re-do, I had to laugh, your comments were so cute! Neat blog, my family has it share of nuts too! LOL, CindyReplyDelete
I will be happy to adopt you....you may have to wash the dishes however. Thanks for stopping by for a visit. i hope you will come again for Crock Pot Wednesdays.ReplyDelete
Lori, nice to meet you. Thanks for swinging by my blog to say hello. I always love when guests arrive. I'm glad you found paving stones underneath your overgrowth. Girl there is so much going on around here with hubby's health issues I'm incredibly behind on the outside stuff. I'm slowly getting around to it. With fall temps in the air winter will be hitting us in the backside quickly so I've got to get on it before then.. lol.. Hope all is well with you today..hugs ~lynne~ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting my blog. :-) Well...we may find out we have some nuts in our family, as if we need to be told...! My 2nd born is taking an Abnormal Psychology course this term. Uh Oh....ReplyDelete
Yes. those three furry boys get along really well in there canine pack. Great dogs.
Have a good one!!
Your blog looks fantasic! (I have to say the date confused me at first! lol)ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for stopping by 47th Street and leaving such a comment. You are so right about all the different looks people would have come up with. :)
Great place you have here!ReplyDelete
Happy day to you and yours,

I enjoy your blog, I stop by when I can! and for sure there are some nuts on my tree :)ReplyDelete
Hey Lori, it's Michelle again!ReplyDelete
Just stopping by to say hello. New England Historical Genealogy Society is now putting the CT Nutmegger online and I've been busy researching it lately. So far have not found any info I dont' already have but it's always nice to have another source.
Well, I'm considered the nut in my family and they've all made that clear for many years. I'm the one whose name is on the family tree and will be quickly forgotten with weeds growing up around it. I believe they think I'm the low hanging fruit. And that's okay because there is someone more nuts than me who is very famous and very unpleasant also hanging on the tree. They should all be happy I'M the one that shows up on Thanksgiving and not him.ReplyDelete
Great blog!
Hi Lori,ReplyDelete
Thank you for stopping by my blog and entering the contest and also thank you so much for posting the button on your page.

First I wanted to say your salmon recipe sounds wonderful! Congrats on being asked to guest star @ Aglio, Olio & Peperoncino. I also enjoyed "Why I Laugh Every Day!" ... great fun!
Thank you for the visit and comment you left on my "caged birds" post! I was so honored by what you said.
BTW, no Stick-Um ... just a twist tie around the little bugger's neck attached to the side of the cage ... then a "cover up" with photo "cheating."
Wow ... anyone who just read the previous sentence is going to think someone is NUTS!!! ;)

Lori I love that word serendipty and experiencing it too like the other day when a bee came to join us for lunch. It was so fun to watch him slup up the little pilled up balls of soda on the side of my DH cup! (I was good and had water which the bee did not care about!)ReplyDelete
Hi Lori! Thanks for stopping by my blog and becoming a follower. I am really touched. I love reading your blog. You have such talent! I look forward to following your blog and seeing what you are up to!ReplyDelete
Hi Lori!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the comments on my blog! You have me seriously thinking of starting another one for my genealogy work...but it feels a little overwhelming.....keep in touch! I sent you an email! Sandy
Hi Lori !ReplyDelete
I am sure your LG computer will be fine - I love my LG cell phones and should have really stressed that it is the appliances where they aren't so good. They have been out for only a couple of years and they are number 1 on warranty claims and service calls....hmmmm - the appliances are made in Indonesia...I should never have purchased such a new product. One of the heating elements went out on the stove...I was told it is super expensive to replace. The microwwave door glass fell out after 14 months - it is siloconed in for now as a new door is a couple hundred dollars. The dishwasher's pump went out and it cost $70 for the appliance guy to give me a $400 quote to fix a $600 dishwasher...we decided to spend a couple more and replace altogether. I bought is at Lowes and gladly spent another $99 for a 5 year warranty. Enough ranting....Thanks for visiting me kind Lori !
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I have bookmarked yours and have invited myself to be a follower. I was born in Austria. During and after the war, when my dad was a very young man, he traced the family roots all the way back to 1600-something. He spent most of his income sending for copies, mostly hand-written of birth, death, and marriage certificates. The reason he couldn't go back further, is that the last birth was an illegitimate one, a nobleman was the father, the mother was sent to a convent, where the child was raised, and the religious person who guarded the records wasn't open-minded enough yet to release any further information. I'm thinking today one could get that info, if the records survived the war. There were some interesting causes of death on the death certificates. Since I am the only family member left who can read and write German, these treasured papers are in my possession.ReplyDelete

okay Lori, here i am! i am a fan of genealogy too.mine's really interesting because, here in the Phil. we do have a good mix of genetic ingredients!ReplyDelete
my mixture of Filipino (that's tagalog, cebuano, boholanon), Spanish (Castillian), Swiss, Chinese, French and Cuban is quite confusing?! whoa! i am able to trace the Swiss ancestry as far back as 1871 when my great great grandfather arrived and established a business (Almazen de Suiza) in the European enclave of Binondo, Manila. oh well, so much for that...
this is really a beautiful blog! i appreciate your wonderful, positive presence in blogspace...i'll be following...you're welcome to visit my blog too...
I love your comment lines!! I may have to "borrow' them or come up with something similar! I read your RR train ride post, and I thought that was neat. Smart thinking on your mom's part, too!ReplyDelete
You have a GREAT blog! I am still learning how to add 'stuff' on, and tonight's assignment, If, as Randy says, I choose to accept it, is to learn how to add Twitter feed on.
One of my next ones then, is to learn how to add "I follow these blogs" like you guys do!
Baby steps!
G'night, God Bless, and Thanks for visiting my blog!
Love your sense of humor along with all the wonderful ideas you share!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your posted comments, encouragement, and fun things you come up with that helps those like myself to stretch and grow.

Thanks for the article link on coats of arms. I knew you were not supposed to get or display a coat of arms if you were not the direct descendant with the right to but did not know about the registry and forgery. Fascinating. To think my daughter had thought of making their own family coat of arms for their family home evening.ReplyDelete

Hi Lori. I just wanted to say that I have finally tried one of your wonderful recipes..it was the Caesar Cherry Tomatoes (with dipping salt) and they turned out to be one of the best little appetizers ever! Stacked up in a pretty martini glass, they looked as good as they tasted. People asked for the recipe. One person said that he would like to make them to add as a garnish to his caesar cocktails, which is an excellent idea.ReplyDelete
Hi Lori. What a treat to be able to sign your guest book. Your blog is a pleasurable read. I always enjoy my visits.ReplyDelete

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — Russian punk group Pussy Riot burst onto the Olympic scene Tuesday when two of its members were picked up by police in host city Sochi — and then ran away defiant down a rain-soaked street a few hours later, shouting and wearing their trademark garish balaclavas.
The police questioning of Russia's most recognizable punk rockers, along with detentions of gay rights and other activists in recent days, brought political tensions to the fore at Vladimir Putin's showcase Winter Olympics.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alekhina, along with seven others, were held by police near Sochi's ferry terminal, a popular area for fans celebrating the Olympics. Police said they were questioned in connection with a theft at the hotel where they were staying. No charges were filed.
"Putin will teach you how to love the motherland!" the women chanted on leaving the police station, their fists in the air and blue, pink and orange ski masks concealing their faces.
Pussy Riot gained international attention in 2012 after barging into Moscow's main cathedral and performing a "punk prayer" in which they entreated the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Putin, who was on the verge of returning to the Russian presidency for a third term.
Tolokonnikova and Alekhina were sentenced to two years in prison, but were released in December under an amnesty bill seen as a Kremlin effort to assuage critics of its human rights record before the Olympics. Both women called for the boycott of the Sochi Games.
Tolokonnikova said Tuesday's detention followed three days of police harassment. She also said the two band members were detained for several hours the previous two days.
"We members of Pussy Riot have been here since late Sunday and we were constantly detained since then," Tolokonnikova said after her release. "We are constantly surrounded by people, not you journalists, but people who are shadowing us, following our every move and looking for any excuse to detain us."
Pussy Riot, a performance-art collective involving a loose membership of feminists who edit their actions into music videos, has become an international flashpoint for those who contend Putin's government has exceeded its authority in dealing with an array of issues, notably human and gay rights.
Tolokonnikova's husband, Pyotr Verzilov, and other people who were detained on Tuesday insisted that Pussy Riot were not protesting or demonstrating when they were taken off the street. But Tolokonnikova said the band is in Sochi with "the goal of staging a Pussy Riot protest."
It was not immediately clear whether Pussy Riot would be staying in Sochi or whether they would be protesting in the coming days.
Yevgeny Feldman, a photographer who has been shadowing Pussy Riot for the past two days and was detained with them Tuesday afternoon, said the band members were filming videos around town for a new song.
Tolokonnikova also said police had shoved her and other detainees and that the group would file a complaint about their treatment to Russia's Investigative Committee.
The area where the group members were detained is in downtown Sochi, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of the seaside Olympic venues.
Russia has put severe limitations on protests in Sochi during the Olympics, ordering that any demonstration must get approval and be held only in the neighborhood of Khosta, an area between Adler and downtown Sochi that is unlikely to be visited by outsiders.
Russia's suppression of protests has been widely denounced in the West and the Pussy Riot detentions brought renewed criticism.
"In Putin's Russia, the authorities have turned the Olympic rings - a worldwide symbol of hope and striving for the best of the human spirit - into handcuffs to shackle freedom of expression," John Dalhuisen, Europe director for Amnesty International, said in a statement.
The actions taken against Pussy Riot came a day after an Italian transgender activist and former lawmaker was detained at the Olympics. Vladimir Luxuria was stopped while carrying a rainbow flag that read in Russian: "Gay is OK." On Sunday, Luxuria said she was held by police and told not to wear clothing with slogans promoting gay rights.
Environmental activists and members of an ethnic minority native to the Sochi region have also been detained in recent days and weeks.
Since their release in December, the 24-year-old Tolokonnikova and the 25-year-old Alekhina have taken on a more serious demeanor and made many appearances overseas to push their campaign for improved conditions in Russia's prisons.
Until Tuesday, there had been no indication they would resume the fist-and-chant protests they got famous for.
Associated Press writer Jim Heintz contributed to this report.

Bay Front Station
Bay Front Generating Station is a coal-fired power station owned and operated by Xcel Energy in Ashland, Wisconsin.
In October 2008, Xcel Energy announced plans to spend over $55 million to convert the last remaining coal-fired unit at the Bay Front plant to biomass. The conversion will enable the facility to use 100 percent biomass in all three boilers. Xcel submitted an application to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin in February 2009. If approved, construction could begin in 2010 and operation in late 2012.[1][2]
The facility primarily burns waste wood from area forest harvesting operations. The existing biomass incinerators burn about 200,000 tons of waste wood each year. When the project is completed, the plant will use another 185,000 to 250,000 tons per year and will be capable of generating enough electricity for 40,000 homes. According to Xcel, the project will reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides by approximately 50 percent, sulfur dioxides by over 85 percent, and particulate matter by 90 percent.[1][2]

Death and disease attributable to fine particle pollution from Bay Front
In 2010, Abt Associates issued a study commissioned by the Clean Air Task Force, a nonprofit research and advocacy organization, quantifying the deaths and other health effects attributable to fine particle pollution from coal-fired power plants.[3] Fine particle pollution consists of a complex mixture of soot, heavy metals, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides. Among these particles, the most dangerous are those less than 2.5 microns in diameter, which are so tiny that they can evade the lung's natural defenses, enter the bloodstream, and be transported to vital organs. Impacts are especially severe among the elderly, children, and those with respiratory disease. The study found that over 13,000 deaths and tens of thousands of cases of chronic bronchitis, acute bronchitis, asthma, congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, dysrhythmia, ischemic heart disease, chronic lung disease, and pneumonia each year are attributable to fine particle pollution from U.S. coal plant emissions. These deaths and illnesses are major examples of coal's external costs, i.e. uncompensated harms inflicted upon the public at large. Low-income and minority populations are disproportionately impacted as well, due to the tendency of companies to avoid locating power plants upwind of affluent communities. To monetize the health impact of fine particle pollution from each coal plant, Abt assigned a value of $7,300,000 to each 2010 mortality, based on a range of government and private studies. Valuations of illnesses ranged from $52 for an asthma episode to $440,000 for a case of chronic bronchitis.[4]
