General comments
Wilma, the construction in the Sandbox is WONDERFUL, so colorful, and such immediate feed back. I would stay on the Utah Project just because it is immediate success. Fabulious construction. Thank you for all of your hard work!!! Wyzer17 15:34, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Way to experiment! I love looking at new ways to do things. Two comments: 1)I think the page is really long and when it has more data in it it will get even longer. Is there a way to break it up into a series of pages rather than one really long page? Just a thought. 2) I would love to see some step-by-step guidance for finding births, marriage, death, etc.loosledc 19:29, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
Table at top
- What about the yellow as the middle color. To me yellow says "light bulb" with works with "ideas". Also wondering about a tan or something for the third color. Don't know what the meanings of colors are. Love the green as the first color. Like you said, Joy, green means "go." AdkinsWH 21:13, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting experiment. I like the idea of the table.
- You may want to share the idea of the table with an instructional designer and see what they might add.
- Not sure what the colors mean.
- The census years listed are a bit misleading. It gives the impression for those who are less familiar with census records that there is a census for every year from 1856-present. Is there another way to do this such as "Beginning 1856" or "Earliest 1856"? loosledc 19:25, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
- I love that you have directed them to other counties what Beaver residents may be from. loosledc 19:31, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
Implemented Suggestions:
- Wilma and others who visit this page. I have changed the colord on the first table, but feel they are not as inviting as more vibrant colors. Would love you input. Thank you! joy 20:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, Joy. I'll take a lookAdkinsWH 21:09, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Wilma ... I fixed your spacing at the top of the TOC box where it is level with your Infobox Jane evancol 21:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Add a panoramic picture at the top, not just a stark table. Contributor's meeting 17 Jan and admin meeting 18 Jan
- Job added a panormic view. WOW! Talk about more interesting! AdkinsWH 18:42, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Style guide
- I think the page is really long and when it has more data in it it will get even longer. Is there a way to break it up into a series of pages rather than one really long page? Just a thought. loosledc 19:29, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
- While I agree it is really long the TOC should negate most of that if done correctly. Klaw 13:54, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Long lists of items:
- columns
- link to a separate page
- Short list with a More link
- Color, icons
- What about using a light bulb and the color yellow on the pages for suggestions, not just words.AdkinsWH 18:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Implemented Suggestions:
- Use Bullets for each item listed under a topic or heading.
- Exception: blurb that explains more about the heading should be on the margin
- Use SHORT paragraphs. Computer screen space is limited, people bypass paragraphs longer than 1 or 2 lines
- Using "templates" for repeated content in counties.
- FHL and Allen County Public Library blurb
Find and use records section
(Was located above Resources on the table of contents)
- Move this below resources. The term "Find records" should work for beginners and not interfere with experts. (Comments from meeting17 Jan, 2012)
Implemented on the Experimental page:
- Moved the section down. Moved what was under "repositories" to this section. Created a separate section called "Guides to using records".AdkinsWH 19:24, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Genealogical topics
The topics listed below are targeted for the Utah Wiki Project. Treat it as a "parking lot" for ideas or sources we don't want to forget when we are ready to work on that topic.
Church Records
Non-LDS LDS
- Jensen's Encyclopedic history
- Jaussi and Chaston?
- See the Forum thread Lists of LDS Wards on Utah Pages
Court Records
Land and Property
Back to obits area of experimental page.
Discussed in 4 Apr 2012 and 11 Apr 2012 meetings.
- Must treat with Newspapers as well. Has this been done adequately?
Questions: if include, where:
(MJM) write a few inviting phrases to link to the state page for that topic and rotate them on the county pages so they aren't reduntant.
Not sure everyone reads state page -- miss information.
When we come to a record type: how to use the resource, and list of resources. Statement: to effectively use these resources and link to that place Consistent from county to county. Tip to that county is when we use the tip icon. (Jana)
- Or give a juicy tip, and then direct them to the tips area for that topic.
A design committee meets every Fri morn. Now no overall structure, but being organized to help direct users more easily. It will become more evident. Wiki easier, more transparant (James)
- Review what is at state, US levels. Do we need to add, embelish? Include major online resources (for recent and historical obits).
- Usually written from information given by family. State page (tip)
- info may be inaccurate (family biases?) State page (tip)
- written by funeral directors or newspapers editors who write from information given by the family (state or tip)
- mention of war service, accomplishments; education; religion; names of surviving family, sometimes those who died before. (teaching and explaining area (state or US)
- Popular since around 1870's. (teaching and explaining area (state or US)
- Published in newspapers (at a cost), sometimes kept by funeral homes (helpful if not in a newspaper) (JS: my grandfather and great-grandfather being newspaper editors would say most people couldn't write so well so a favorable obit was written by newspaper editor from his interviews with the family;
- Substitutes: Funeral home programs.
[JS: What if we sqoze bullet 3 & 4 into one line? Done
Should we add a bullet reminding people that recent obits can be found on-line on local newspaper websites? So straight forward but surprising how a death will inspire a young person to start geneo...yet they didn't think to save an obit and don't know the contact info for the relative who would have it!
- How shall we word this? Use several, or a few and link to a US page?
I also wondered about whether there should be a bullet mentioning how local historical societies often have compilations of clipped obituries and/or good local newspaper collections on microfilm. Maybe the later isn't so applicable for Utah?] Does the line following the bullets accomplish this?
- State or US page (tip)
Jana: if I knew about a collection that applies specifically to that county, it should then be added as a bullet on the county. Help them know what exists
recognize that people will add to it. and change the structure.
After the project is done, put in watchcare of moderator and assistants.
On the pages, give new people a way, a place to add it without stepping on another contributor's toes. Especially when we don't understand or want to correct another person's writing. (Jana)
(James) supposed to relinquish ownership, coherent is a function of talk pages. If no one responds within a reasonable time, go ahead. Utah project revisited in X year(s)
- Links broken, items put in "wrong" pages (MJM)
- Instructions on discussion page: annotate the Wiki: there is a separate CW page, please use that.
The further east, the more needed it is.
What if we used a badge similar to this? (Right justified it?)
And changed title to something like: ENHANCE YOUR RESEARCH! or FIND MORE! And changed the test to something like: Visit the Utah Obit page to receive tips and learn principles regarding researching this record type.
Probate Records
Resource Repositories
Link to Libraries on Experimental County page
Summary of decisions to this point in the conversation
- Bullets used with text of "four" or less items
- Headings used for "five" or more items with only pertinent explanations Note: this decision may not be in graniteAdkinsWH 05:03, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
- No extra lines between bullets will be used - keep text together
Discussions were in the following meetings:
Suggestions from Feb 1 community meeting
Put a link to these under the state page
- WorldCat. Locate books near your zip code (About) Unless there is a good explanation, people can't really use it easily
- FHL Utah, BeaverFamilySearch Library, Salt Lake City, UT (About)
- Allen County Public Library, Ft. Wayne, IN (About)
- U, Special collections, BYU, Utah State, DUP (in each county), SUP, Church History Library, State Archives, State Historical Society
Feb 22 meeting:
Feb 29 meeting:
Mar 7 meeting:
Don't forget:
- Interlibrary loan
Yet to be addressed:
- List only libraries that have collections - or list others as well
- Link to Utah Archives and Libraries page from each county
- Format for gathering information - not yet decided
- Pictures of Libraries would be helpful
Vital Records
Birth topic on Experimental County page
One of our challenges is to keep this area loaded with the ideas that have come, but organized enough that even small ideas are not lost.
Summary of decisions
- Each section needs a blurb
Questions to consider
- In the Wiki contributors mtg Tues 17 Apr (Wilma gone) they presented the NY project as being done well as refered us to town page for an example..but I switch to county (Dutchess)....I thought they had some really good structure thoughts for the vital records section that we may want to consider. One thing they didn't do, that I would have done was make the vital records section a separate page. Take a look at it.
Stuff previously on the exper co page
It was moved here 5/9/12
Timeline w/suggestions (substitute records) One visual look (overview) w/o scrolling Table for this.
Date column, source location, source, suggestion column let them know what level we are taking them to: outside or elsewhere on our county page
- (To do: should people get bmd's from the county clerk or the state after 1905?)
- From 8 Feb meeting: Listing gaps, etc. in records
What do we need to keep from the following that were on the exper co page? The concepts and wonderments, for sure. What do we put in the summary of decisions?
- [Pre-1799] xcounty not yet created. See Moonshine county, Utah or the Utah Territorial Vital records substitute page.
- [1800-1852] No law in effect requiring government to keep records. Substitute records:Church.
- [1852-1909] Legislation required keeping bith records for some years. Compliance spotty.
- [1892-1941] Utah, Births and Christenings, 1892-1941.
- [1941-present] Avail at Vital Stat Office. Restrictions apply (direct descend). Substitue: SSDI.
- For a thorough discussion, including more obscure collections and unique record content tips see x County, Utah Vital Records -Birth page.
Okay, so I did the template brainstorm above based on use in more "eastern" states. Given that Utah didn't become a state until 1896. Much of this won't apply...Is it possible to devolope a template that is easily a adaptible or for which parts can be commented out... It would seem to me that the substutute records part of the template would be consistent for time periods. And it would be nice not to have rethink which records are substitutes for a given time periord along with their links.
I would also suggest that only one (possiblly two if the best isn't on-line and we want to try to have an easily accessable ref) collections/books by each date range. The source chosen should be best in terms of solving the most of the patrons questions. If there are additional or alternative sources, they would overflow to x county, Utah Vital Records - Birth page.
JanaStokes 17:06, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
Summaries of minutes
What needs to move up to summary of decisions?
- Date or timeline concept giving suggestions based on birth years. Liked by everyone
- Table concept OK'd. Jana and Liz will play with the columns and headings
- The purposes of each VR section were discussed
- 1) Our first purpose: help them get a birth date/place, even when the best records (i.e. certificates) did not exist.
- 2) If they can't find it from the major sources, what do they do.
- 3) Then help them get other records that may provide more clues. (How do we move them toward other skills?)
- 4) Then help them know how to deal with clues. Not part of Utah project to write, but to Link only Analyze, see clues, etc. US and Utah VR pages have separate pages on how to use birth, death, marriage.
- Create a page (or add to the state page) a link to alternative resources and be sure they are well explained in that area. Exceptions that affect a county should be explained within that county. That breakout page is a good place to explain anomalies about collections.
- Refer to NY VR pages for examples to employ or modify
- Add a link from Historical Records pages to Utah VR page.
- We need a footnoting task description. Marilyn has much on this already and will email to Liz, Jana, Wilma.
- Must-haves on the section:
- Dates for each county: top of page, but also needed here. Intro statement: County formed in 1856, records start in 1892. (Added after meeting: but keep up their hope of finding something anyway)
- Also need to tell where originals are. Detailed stuff needs to go at bottom of the table. Or in introductory paragraph before. Can even include the history of where the records are and were.
- 1905 statewide system began. Counties vary. in compliance for each county. At county level is most valuable.
Summary of minutes (and of thoughts by Jana)
- Universally liked the timeline breakdown. One person said privately that Jana should be so pleased. She has presented this in a way that people will understand immediately.
- From last meeting:
- "Don't be too repetitive"
- "send people to the state page where many alternatives could be taught"
- Chart can be uniquely adapted to each county.
- Most of chart should be specific to the county, then refer to state/alternative sources
- Kept the "Alternative/Also Try Resoures" links SPECIFIC TO THE COUNTY (something I failed to point out to the group).
- The idea was if no vital rec then to send them to that county's church rec section—not to a State page where:
- After reading about all the alternatives (including some state-wide sources link which they would tend to click on and go off and search)
- They would have to remember to come back to the county page to pick up county specific church resources not mentioned on the state page.
- Birth info could be in any type of record -- and a very long list
- Which alternative record is most effective at getting me the birth date?
- Don't make the table too long
- What do we do when there are several "gap" dates? That in itself makes the table longer. But also more valuable to the user.
- Don't overwhelm with too many resources listed
- Point to a state page that can give a long list of alternatives
- Where do we draw the line on alternative sources? On the state page, on the county page?
- And when do we link to that page with sources that offer hope and supplemental info?
- "When [birth] records don't exist" area -- at the top or bottom of the chart
- Preferrably linkable from within the chart
- Pat is cleaning up the state VR page. Please don't work on it until she has finished.
Comments from Jana's email, 5/15
I know it looks like I did zippo, but actually I gave it some serious thought and ended up doing several things.
First, realized I needed to play with some data I was familiar with so I transferred one of my "play" table to
Do me a favor and read through that page after reading the rest of this epistle..
My original intention was to come back to the experimental page, do some homework in the way of Utah county content and apply it--though I never got to that step
In the last meeting, people suggested two things: "do we really want to repeat resources" and "perhaps we should send people to the state page where many alternatives could be taught"
At first I thought I could avoid repetition by just coding a "rowspan" command in the "Also try" category, but it turns out that when you have to jump between extant and non extant resources the "Also try" category suggestion changes back and forth--negating the use of the "rowspan" command.
I also realized that when I designed the county table I kept the "Alternative/Also Try Resoures" links SPECIFIC TO THE COUNTY (something I failed to point out to the group). The idea was if no vital rec then to send them to x county church rec section of the county page -----not to a State page where after reading about all the alternatives (including some state-wide sources link which they would tend to click on and go off and search) they would have to remember to come back to the county page to pick up county specific church resources not mentioned on the state page.
One of the table's strengths was it's UNIQUE presentation for that COUNTY. Even the order of "Also trys" would eventually reflect a deep understanding of the county. (see notes under Pulaski table for why choices were made to illustrate this)
The biggest grief the table gave me was that it ended up too long, and certainly was too long for a county page. This is because of so many "non extant" year breaks. Utah probably doesn't have so many "non extant" breaks, so maybe it could still work.
I thought about combining years---not showing ALL the non extant years; but realized idea was not acceptable---showing the non extant years is what made the table priceless in terms of efficiency. For example often Ancestry and Historical Records will entitle their collection "1800-1900", when really there is no coverage for year 1880, 1891, etc and so you are flat out WASTING your time searching those collections for 1880 birth---especially considering all the name variations/transcription errors one has to adjust for and search for in attempting to find an individual.
So, in the end, I ended up a baffled, confused, zapped soul---in great need of some chocolate ;) .....leaning towards the table belonging on a separate birth records county page because of it's length and having no decent ideas on what to put regarding births on the county page.
- Western States mg index
- I would love to see some step-by-step guidance for finding births, marriage, death, etc.loosledc 19:29, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Offer to help create a template
Hi, I see that you have made great progress with this project to include a summary of county records in a table at the top of county pages. Would you like some assistance in converting your table into a template with parameters that can be used to insert the specific information for each county? If so just let me know. --Steve (talk| contribs) 23:26, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
- Wilma replied to my offer on my talk page (see User talk:Cottrells#Table_in_Utah_Experimental_County). As a result of the positive response I have created a new template {{US County records}} based on the code used in the article. Having created the template I have now swapped out the code and put in the template with the parameters that have been used for this example. The only difference a person will see is that table now refers to "WikiProject Utah Experimental County residents" as that part of the template uses the page name to create that line of text. When the template is used on a real page the text will make more sense. I used the same anchor link words in the template as were used in the table, but I notice that some do not work, for example there is no section called "Land" rather there is one called "Land and Property". Also there is no "Probate" section - the section being named "Probate Records". I also note that the "Birth", "Marriage" and "Death" sections are formatted in white text with additional coloured boxes with the same titles displayed underneath! Is this really necessary? --Steve (talk|
contribs) 18:20, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- We are using this page to experiment with anything and everything, including whiting out the words to a link and trying a colored bar instead. At this point, we are unlikely to ever implement this experiment. Thanks for noticing and for creating that great template. AdkinsWH 21:25, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Context ideas
23 Feb w/Beth Longley
Restate when birth records start, and where originals are housed
Where people can get them including microfilm, internet, archive
When state starts and how to get those
Do they have the same info (state or county), is one better, cheaper, how does county allow access?
Type of information b records have
- Name of child usually (some not yet named at time records was created
- DOB, POB usually
- Fathers name frequently (In some cases may be blank when father not known or not reported)
- Father's age sometimes, occupation sometimes, bp seldom
- Mothers given name usually
- Mother's age sometimes, # of previous births (sometimes)
- Mother's BP seldom
- Maiden name frequently . In earlier records (years?) may be less often
- Date of registration (is there a clue in that?)
- Informant frequently (relationship?)
- Clerk usually
- Dr or midwife usually
Types of birth records
- Midwife, MD, hospital, other
Rather than a long list of all these, use a More link
Make it visually appealing
Icons ready to review
For digital newspapers, the quality of the image affects the accuracy of your searches. Early issues may be low quality. Suggestion: look at a microfilmed copy of the newspaper. Better yet, find an original if at all possible.
Clouds - possible icon for online resources
Comment on Newspapers
I suggest we link to pages about each category of repository. For example, we should have a U.S. Page about the Library of Congress' s Chronicling America project including how to use the newspaper section. The information about how to use the Newspapers could be on that page Library of Congress
On Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 11:44 AM, Jana Stokes <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote:
So this conceptual way of organizing/heading-things could be applied to probate records, newspapers, vital records, etc. The goal is to make headings that are "problem solvers" for people with heading one being the first choice of solving the majority of patrons needs.
Heading One: Fully searchable newspaper resources
These will almost always be online. In fact the only exception I can think of would be OCR searchable PDF file within library or society that while on a CD or the libraries "intranet" is NOT made available to the public on the cloud. Fully searchable are powerful (usually online, yippie!) problem solvers, often they are the larger collections thereby a patron would stand a higher probability of finding what they need right from the get go since more records will be searched with a single click. Would include things like a google book (if the book was OCR searchable) of Beaver county newspaper abstracts.
Heading Two: Indexed and abstract newspaper resources
These may or may not be on-line. USGenWeb might have an on-line index. (clearly not as potentially problem solving as fully searchable which would pick a name in an obit even if it was listed as parent or child whereas the on-line index would only pick up the dead person). But this heading would pick up more traditional books (including google non-OCR books) or catalogs (Early Church Info File?) --again these may or may not be on-line; but the key is that they are secondary problem solvers.
Heading Three: Originals and/or digital (nonsearchable and/or un-indexed or "not-yet-indexed") and/or microfilms
These stand the least probability of being on line (ie: microfilms) but if they are digitalized but not indexed they should be listed as resources. And this heading is needed because even if a record is identified in a Heading One source or Heading Two Source the researcher may need to know more about how to tract down an image. (Esp significant for just a name index.)
Heading names/titles obviously would need tweaking but I think now you can see the idea and why trying to separate things into online and non-online was driving me nuts---it didn't really help me solve a problem and there are too many things that are half on-line/have not (ie: Chronicalling America -some just catalog ref ..not digital...others digital) or in the gray area.
A while back you made a comment along the lines of "prime real estate". Heading one is prime real-estate - this category should solve as many problems as possible and quickly before we loose the readers attention and before we ask the reader to enter the beginning world of research in heading two.

T. rex hunted like a lion, did not scavenge like a hyenaJanuary 26th, 2011 - 11:34 am ICT by ANI
Washington, Jan 26 (ANI): A new study has revealed that Tyrannosaurus Rex wasn't a scavenger like a hyena; rather it hunted like a lion.
Scientists from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) used an ecological model based on predator relationships in the Serengeti to find out if scavenging would have been an effective feeding strategy for the dinosaur.
"By understanding the ecological forces at work, we have been able to show that scavenging was not a viable option for T.rex as it was out-competed by smaller, more abundant predatory dinosaurs," said Dr Chris Carbone.
"These smaller species would have discovered carcasses more quickly, making the most of 'first-come-first-served' opportunities."
The study concluded that an individual T.rex would have roamed over large distances to catch its prey.
The research helps experts understand the behaviour of T.rex as a hunter.
The research is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. (ANI)

I read this book almost in one gulp. I sat down, intending to read for about an hour and then go for a swim but instead the only thing that made me get up was a phone call. I barely ate dinner! I was so immersed in the story and the characters the pages kept on turning on their own.
This is truly part one of the story, we don't get a HEA, we don't get a HFN, we are in the middle of the story where things are NOT working out on the romance side, but they are looking brighter in other aspects. This book is currently sold with part 1 + part 2 together, I have the older version (it's just been on my list for AGES before I got it finally scheduled..) so I don't know if it ends in a better place on that version. Anyhow the romance of the two MC is building up slowly and so there is something to look forward to. I remember how I loved it in "Cut & Run" by Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban. Yeah, it's more on the suspense side but still very slow building of the relationship between the MC, only getting their true HEA in the very last novel in the series. I bet this one would be the same.
This series is about the romance between Jory Keyes (our sole POV in the book) and detective Sam Kage. Jory is a force to be reckoned! not in the physical aspect, on the contrary, he is small with an athletic built, nothing like his love interest detective Sam Kage who is HUGE. It's just the way he sees everything around him, the things he takes notice of - seems to be everything around him when it's people concerned, or noticing nothing at all (when he is at a risk for his life and doesn't seem to take it seriously AT ALL). He is a people's person, everyone seems to like him and it's obvious from his behavior why that is. Though he is an orphan with no family, he has a very strong connection with his boss - Dane Harcourt, a very successful architect. He's the kind of guy every woman falls for which is part of the reason he and Jory get along so well. Jory understands him, he might find him attractive but he is not attracted to him and so he is able to be honest and a true friend even if he's just his personal assistant. I LOVED LOVED LOVED Dane, I hope we'll get as much of his as possible, also their special connection is a JOY to read.
Hearing Jory's POV is sort of addictive. He is SO damn funny. I found myself Laughing Out Loud half of the book from the way he talks, the way he thinks and the way he reacts to things around him. Even in the first chapter in which he finds himself in a middle of a police bust when he just came to take away the dog (a favor for a friend) he is totally unfazed by the big muscles around him or the fact that now that he is now a witness to a killing and so his life is in jeopardy. Yet every night the 22 years old Jory goes out to a different club even if every night Detective Sam gets in his path and tries to take him home before someone off him in the street.
I gotta say, Jory's way of thinking got in my head so much, I was SURE Sam was totally over-reacting and Jory doesn't have anything to worry about, he's probably just into Sam and so he keeps "looking out" for him, while actually trying to see what he feels about the guy (since he's OBVIOUSLY straight..). Jory finds him totally and absolutely attractive but trying to "convert" straight guy was never his thing.. and so he enjoys Sam's rough handling (that's what he likes in a guy but never actually gets..). So when someone actually DID try to off Jory I couldn't be more surprised!
I'm already blabbering too much here, so I'll get to the important part.. the romance! Jory is openly gay, but at the moment he isn't sure what he is looking for, what he didn't expect is for Sam to be attracted to him, so when they act on their mutual attraction, well, it was kind of curious to see how Sam got into it will no problem at all.. and yet though he seems to be VERY into Jory not only when it comes to sex, he is very caring and protective, it was very disappointing yet not that surprising when he doesn't take them as a couple seriously, or rather as something that could be permanent. I enjoyed seeing the obvious good impact Jory had on Sam, it was heart warming and darn funny but sadly it still isn't enough for Sam to put aside his prior beliefs to what his life should look like..
I'm not going to say more because I feel as though I've already said too much, mostly in the previous paragraph.. I wasn't sure about writing it so specifically, but since it's only part one, I guess it's obvious something is still very primary about the relationship, or rather it's not yet a relationship... they have MUCH more to go (obviously.. there are 8 books in the series..).
One last thing before I finish this very long review for a rather short novel/la - I wasn't sure which category this one will fall into - Romantic Suspense or Contemporary Romance, after reading this one I think it's more on the Contemporary side. There's a bit of action, but it's not the focus of the story AT ALL.

Chapter One
September 7
Alex Ford
Mr. Ford loved having a cowboy for a son. Sometimes Alex thought his riding was the only thing his dad had left to live for. Alex realized almost as soon as he got Turnip that he would not be taking dressage lessons. The horse came with a Western saddle and bridle as well as some erratic notions about steering. Apparently the alcoholic cowboy who'd trained him had done a lot of drinking and riding.
After the first few spills, one of which left Alex unable to remember his own name for most of an afternoon, his father hired a local girl to give Alex Western riding lessons. Meredith, a young woman who trained quarter horses and paints, was almost supernaturally even-tempered and unflappable. She wore a uniform of braids and jeans and boots and looked seventeen, even though she was almost thirty.
Meredith taught Alex to ride and helped him retrain Turnip. "Getting his steering working," she called it. Turnip was not a handsome horse, but he was a remarkably willing and honest one. Meredith liked to say he had more try in him than any horse she'd ever known. In that way he was a good match for his owner, who'd changed from an imaginative child into a serious, hardworking, perpetually stressed young man who was only able to relax when he rode.
Other than their shared love of hard work, Alex and his horse were an odd match. Turnip was short, big eared, and roman nosed. He paddled when he trotted and his tail was as sparse as his mane was abundant. Alex, on the other hand, was tallish and well-proportioned. Most people who noticed him also noted that he was graceful, though perhaps not everyone knew to call it that. He was thrilled when people asked if he was from out of town and he treasured the memory of the time a visitor to Meredith's barn asked, "Who's the rich kid?" because of the careful way he carried himself.
The unlikeliness of their pairing must have appealed to Meredith's sense of humor, because soon after she started teaching Alex, she began bringing him and Turnip to horse shows. That was five years ago. At first Alex and his horse received pitying glances, as though there was something a bit pathetic about the slightly shabby old paint groomed within an inch of his life and his poised young rider. When Alex overheard one woman joke that Turnip's blanket probably had cost more than the horse, Alex bit back a tart retort about her atrocious haircut. The smart green blanket had cost more than the poker hand that won his horse.
Meredith had Alex enter performance-based competitions only, like trail and Western riding and horsemanship, because she knew Turnip couldn't try his way out of ugliness and odd conformation. Under her tutelage, the odd couple, as Alex and his horse came to be known, became the pair to beat on Vancouver Island.
After nearly five years of winning, Alex suspected that if he asked Turnip to fly, the horse would probably give it his best shot. Alex loved competing and took great pride in his horse's accomplishments, but he still thought longingly about dressage. He was held back by the worry that asking Turnip to do dressage would be a bit like asking the old horse to fly. He also felt it would have been disloyal to leave Meredith to begin dressage training. Meredith was a first-rate horsewoman and the closest thing Alex had to a real friend.
Then there was the small matter of his father.
Alex's parents' marriage had begun to unravel soon after he got the horse. His mom announced she wanted a separation, and that she wanted his dad to move into a condominium in town. Instead, Mr. Ford purchased a recreational vehicle off his own sales lot and parked it in the driveway. He told anyone who asked that he wanted to stay close so he could keep an eye on the kids and on his wife's "gentlemen visitors." He must not have kept close enough watch, however, because a couple of years after he moved into his RV, his wife informed the family that her affair with a local insurance adjuster was serious and they were moving to Florida together. The adjuster, who had long sideburns and favored skinny ties and pointy shoes, was at least ten years younger than Alex's mother. She said he reminded her of Rod Stewart.
Now, four years after he'd moved out of the house, Mr. Ford's trailer was still parked alongside the house, and he was still living in it, even though his wife was long gone. He seemed to think that if he stayed very still and didn't change anything, she'd come back.
Alex didn't want to do anything to upset his father, who was in a precarious mental state, and switching from Western to dressage would definitely upset him. Mr. Ford never missed a horse show. He loved parading around in his expensive lizard-skin cowboy boots and tight blue jeans. He was always first into the beer garden at the shows and last out. Somehow, Alex couldn't see his dad getting the same kind of thrill out of hanging around dressage competitions.
Oh, but I would, thought Alex as he stood near the dressage rings at the Fall Fling Horse Show. At any mixed-discipline show Alex always found himself standing at the edge of the dressage rings. He loved looking at the horses in their neat braids. He admired the riders, almost all of whom were female, in their tidy breeches and velvet hats. But most of all he was fascinated by the dressage tests. There was something about the precision of it that appealed to him.
Today he stood against the wall of a judge's booth, tucked into the shade of the roof, his face hidden under the brim of his cowboy hat. When he turned to see who was up next . . .Another Kind of Cowboy. Copyright © by Susan Juby . Reprinted by permission of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

Happy Birthday, Stevie Ray Vaughan!
From the first of two volumes, Stevie Ray Vaughan – Day by Day, Night after Night: The Early Years, by Craig Hopkins: a series of early first impressions and fond memories for Stevie's birthday today.
Musician and guitar dealer, TONY DUKES: "It was a warm day, the first time I saw Stevie Ray. All you could see was stringy brown locks and a toothy grin over the top of a red Gibson 335 [possibly an Epiphone]. What made you look was the tone, a guitar tone that seems to scream and breathe…One thing that always struck me odd, but identifiable, in my eyes about Stevie – his resilience and his quiet confidence."
RODDY COLONNA, drummer: "I first met Stevie in the school lunchroom at Kimball High School. He was kind of weird looking to me, a little bit, because he wore these big sunglasses and bell bottoms with this little sash thing, paisley shirt, and he wore a dickey too – ascot-type thing. One day he came up and sat by me in the lunchroom and started talking to me like he knew me. He was talking about his band. I had a car, and that made it good for him because he didn't have any wheels. He was just a kid; real friendly."
Blackbird keyboard player NOEL DEIS: "Christian [Plicque] brought Stevie over and I thought, 'This kid sounds like Eric Clapton!" He was a little bit tentative, but he had a darn good sound. He had no equipment. I can't remember what he dragged over, but it wasn't much. Stevie went to Kimball and was the outcast kid that was picked on by the local jock population.
CHRIS LAYTON: "The first time I heard [Stevie] play was [with the Cobras] on a Tuesday night at a place called Soap Creek Saloon in Austin. It was either late '76 or real early '77. When I walked in, they were already playing. Immediately, Stevie caught my ear because of his energy and this feeling from his playing. They were doing Bobby Bland stuff, a couple James Brown things, and a song by Ronnie Laws called 'Always There.'
I walked in and turned the corner where you could see the band, and Stevie was playing a solo, and I was, like, mesmerized…he had so much presence, and, I don't know, this undefined energy and charisma."
BRUCE BOWLAND: "Even offstage, rarely did I see Stevie without his guitar slung over his shoulder. He was one of those guys who just walked around the house and piked. He'd sit there and talk to you and he'd be picking. About the only time he'd take it off is when he'd go to the bathroom. He had a burning desire, not to be famous, but to be as good as he possibly could be."
Stevie Ray Vaughan – Day By Day, Night After Night
It is no easy feat to capture the enormous spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, a man whose presence in the world was like an untamable fire, shooting flames of raw talent, passion, and innovation. That bright light wrestled with a dark side, an addiction and sadness that threatened to put out the fire forever. His unmatched guitar playing, buttery vocals, and unforgettable songs made him a triple threat. Vaughan is arguably the greatest guitar god who has ever lived – a re-inventor of guitar and the blues. Twenty years after his death, he lives on in the hearts of millions of people around the world.
In a day-by-day format, Craig Hopkins presents an unprecedented celebration of this wonderful artist. This book is the first installment of a two-volume account of Vaughan's life. With this work, Hopkins delivers one of the most detailed biographies of any musician. This edition covers the complete history of Vaughan's roots, from his childhood to just before his first major release. Filled with testimonials from those who knew him best and from fans everywhere, along with facts about tour dates and recordings, stories about his bands and life on the road, rare artistic and historic photographs, and more, this lavishly illustrated book is the ultimate collector's item for any Stevie Ray Vaughan fan.

Building Customer Loyalty And Retention For Your Business
The cultivation of a loyal customer should be an ongoing process for any business according to Business growth strategist William H. Lassiter Jr of Hampton Roads, Virginia.
Business's should understand that a customer will make repeat purchases and visits to your business if they receive quality and value from your products and services. Lassiter say's a business should be focused on strategies to retain their existing customer's.
Many establishments however, mistakenly spend enormous sums of money and energy trying to acquire new customers. In following this strategy, they ignore effective retention strategies designed to keep their existing, loyal customers coming back on into the future.
Customer loyalty to a great extent depends on product quality and customer service. However, the lack of marketing processes to retain these customers negates the quality and service offered by your business. The development of repeat business, by the aggressive implementation of powerful customer loyalty and retention strategies, should be your primary aim.
Methods For Building Customer Loyalty And Retention
There are several effective routes to follow that help with retention and building customer loyalty. With all the electronic devices and social media at your disposal, you have an advantage concerning accessibility to your customers.
Marketing Through Text Messages
Millions of mobile consumers routinely keep their mobile devices close by, so they promptly see a marketing text. Satisfied customers respond directly to your special text message offers. However, always include valuable, quality content instead of daily sending offers. When text message subscribers send a text message to your mobile short code, they will automatically be added to your mobile subscriber list. This means that they are opting-in to receive future messages and offers from your business.
Using Mobile Coupons
Consumers are finding it a monumental task to efficiently manage paper coupons. Even so, they embrace mobile coupon marketing due to the convenience of always having the coupon at their disposal on their mobile devices. This is a persuasive means for creating repeat sales, as this keeps you on the minds of your customers, when they need your product or service.
Loyalty and Rewards Programs For Customers
Companies adapt a customer rewards program as a marketing strategy with the purpose of creating loyal, repeat customers. This type of program is designed to help them see a consistent increase in sales.
Remember to be earnest and consistent with your customer retention efforts to gain the best results. Deliver quality and value to build your credibility as well as trust. This combination is the most powerful tool to make loyal customers for life.

There seems to be a resurgence of musical genre's these days. From 80's electro-pop groups like Cut Copy to more contemporary throwbacks with She & Him. While I've throughly enjoyed aforementioned bands, there is one genre in particular that I've always hope would make a comeback: Britpop. I felt that this genre was only starting to scratch the surface before it's untimely death in the late 90's. But like a Phoenix rising from Arizona (thanks Frank C.), The Ruling Class is the first band that I feel is actually continuing what The Stone Roses, The Charlatans and Ride had started.
This Swedish/English combo started by singer/songwriter Tomas Kubowicz and bassist Anton Lindberg in 2006. After little success in finding like-minded bandmates in Sweden, they relocated to London in an attempt to perhaps gain some influence. It may have been a little too late, seeing as it was almost 10 years after Britpop's demise, which Tomas admits to in a recent interview:
"The Stone Roses was kind of an introduction – I never had any high thoughts of their debut album when I first listened to it, but when I picked up the album again a couple years later and had a listen, it totally exploded. It's a masterpiece. I've never left them since."
Eventually they managed to find a drummer and subsequently recorded their debut EP Tour de Force, produced buy Mark Wallis who's credits include the Smiths, the La's, the Go-Betweens.
If you're looking get that Britpop Monkey off your back, this album is sure to be your um…banana.
P.S. – Check the MP3 for 'Umbrella Folds' I've posted below. I think the chorus sounds exactly like 'Waterfall' by The Stone Roses, it makes me wonder if Tomas wrote that as a kind of cheeky homage.
Tour de Force CDEP is available now on Shelflife Records.

How to Make It
- For the pillow front, cut a 17-1/2-x-14-inch rectangle and a 17-1/2-x-4-inch rectangle of white felt.
- Cut a 17-1/2-x-3/4-inch strip of red felt and use the scalloped-edge scissors to trim a decorative edge along one long side.
- Sandwich the strip of red felt between the white felt rectangles and sew together using a 1/4-inch seam allowance.
- Trace a small tree shape onto the back side of the pillow front and cut out the opening.
- Trace a large tree shape onto red felt and cut out.
- Cut a 4-1/2-inch long strip of white felt using the scalloped-edge scissors on each long edge.
- Glue the white felt strip on the back side of the tree-shape opening followed by the red felt tree shape.
- For the pillow back, cut two 17-1/2-x-9-inch rectangles of white felt.
- With right sides together, stitch the pillow back to the pillow front using a 1/4-inch seam allowance, overlapping the pillow back pieces at the center back to create an opening for the pillow form.
- Turn right side out and insert pillow form.
Note: For a more permanent pillow, substitute the fabric glue with needle and thread.

The Warriors attempted to clear the air on the simmering topic of Andrew Bogut's troubled left ankle Wednesday.
After a San Francisco Chronicle story implied the center had grown frustrated by the organization's handling of his return, Bogut and general manager Bob Myers jointly briefed the media to let it be known that everyone is on the same page and there are no hard feelings.
"We're square, and I hope he feels the same way. I think he does," Myers said of Bogut. "We've always been square, and I would be concerned if that wasn't the case."
Sitting next to Myers after practice, Bogut supported the Warriors' company line.
"As far as the reports, there was never any pressure from the organization," he said. "The pressure was from was me, myself. After the big trade, I wanted to be out there to help my team and play basketball games, so the pressure never came from anybody -- Bob or Coach (Mark Jackson) or the owners. It was pressure strictly put on me by myself."
Moreover, Myers said there was no intent to deceive regarding the extent of Bogut's April surgery, which the player and the club made known Tuesday involved a more serious microfracture procedure.

I can't believe no one has done this one yet. MUMPS, also known as the M Programming Language: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS
I actually HAD to get this working and finally did, so I have the instructions pretty fresh on my mind.
First, download and install "GT.M High end database + MUMPS compiler".
Extract the tar file, run './configure', let it install.
Set the required environment variables. The following assumes you installed to /var/mumps/ and are using mumps.gld in the current directory for your globals.
export gtmgbldir=mumps.gld
export gtm_dist=/var/mumps/
Final setup process is to initiate your database:
./mumps -run GDE
type 'exit' at the prompt
Then you have to initiate your database again, but in a different way? I don't understand this part but its definitely required:
./munip create
Finally, put the source below in a file called test.m
Run the command './mumps test.m' to compile the test.
Run the command './mumps -r test' to run the test.
Code:TESTR ;test file W #!!,"Please enter your name: " READ NAME W !,"Hello ",NAME,"!",! W "Welcome to Ubuntu, from (M)UMPS!!",! Q ; END

C Modified
Code:#include<stdio.h> int main() { char string[100]; printf("Hello,What is your name?"); fgets(string,100,stdin); printf("Welcome to Ubuntu %s",string); getchar(); return 0; }

The example in the first page is wrong, because it passes &name as

Obama Campaign Gets Hot Oprah Injection
· While it seemed that Steven Spielberg had ended the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in throwing his support behind Hillary Clinton, an undeterred Barack Obama has gone above the Hollywood kingmaker's head by getting Oprah Winfrey, the beneficent daytime TV deity Herself, to host a fundraiser for him at her Montecito compound. An expected $14 billion will be raised for the Obama campaign in a single night when Winfrey commands the heavens to open up and shower bundles of hundred-dollar bills upon her chosen candidate. [Variety]
· In the short term, the stockpiling of projects in anticipation of a multi-union strike may increase the number of entertainment industry jobs, but overall, the threat of a walkout could cause an employment slowdown whether or not the guilds and producers usher in the End of Hollywood Days with a prolonged work stoppage. [THR]
· CBS sets its fall schedule, but will hold risky musical drama Viva Laughlin until October 21 in order to buy more time to figure out how the hell to market the show to inevitably confused audiences. [Variety]
· Despite having his TV show let go to make more room on the schedule for caveman-related programming, George Lopez doesn't seem to be having too much trouble finding movie work. [THR]
· Beleaguered Fox/Spielberg collaboration On The Lot now only being watched by accident. [Variety]

There are perhaps 18,000 species (or 23,000, some reports differ!) of orchids in the world, occurring almost everywhere except the High Arctic, the most extreme deserts, the crests of the coldest mountains, and the sea. Their economic value lies in a vast and lucrative floriculture industry and in the production of natural vanilla flavoring. They are cultivated for the spectacular array of complex, often gaudy, sometimes bizarre, and sometimes elegant flowers and are often hybridized by aficionados to create yet more diverse floral exhibits.
Most tropical and subtropical orchids have storage organs (for water and nutrients) called pseudobulbs, ranging in size from pinheads to colossal ten-foot cylinders. In temperate regions, terrestrial orchids may have storage organs, called tubers, on the roots. Because these tubers, which may occur in pairs, were thought to resemble testes, the Greeks called them 'orchis,' their word for male gonads. That term came to be applied to the entire group.
All orchids produce millions of dust-like seeds that get blown about by breezes. Such tiny seeds don't have room for the storage of energy and nutrients that allow 'normal' seeds to germinate and grow. Instead, they rely on a symbiosis with certain fungi that provide the wherewithal for germination and growth, and so every seed must encounter a suitable fungus before it can germinate. (Adult orchids reportedly acquire other kinds of fungi.)
Despite the bewildering diversity of floral shapes, sizes, and colors, all orchid flowers have three sepals and three petals, one of which is much modified and distinctive (called the lip or labellum). Male and female sex organs are typically united in a single structure (called the column).
The pollen grains are contained in sacs (usually paired) called pollinia. In most orchids, a visiting insect must insert its head in the flower to dislodge the pollinia. These adhere to the insect by a sticky disc, so that the insect then flies about with two pollinia projecting from its head or tongue until it visits another flower of the same species. There the pollinia are inserted into the spaces that are receptive to pollen and the ovules (future seeds) get fertilized. Darwin, over a hundred years ago, studied how orchid flowers work: how the visiting insects acquire and deposit the pollinia.
Southeast Alaska has a small sampling of the huge global array of orchids. All of our species are terrestrial; none is epiphytic (in contrast to lower latitudes, where many orchids use other plants as platforms on which to grow, extracting water and nutrients from the air). Most of our species are probably pollinated by small-bodied wasps and flies, but some are pollinated by bees or moths.
Of the dozen-plus species in northern Southeast Alaska, arguably the prettiest is Calypso bulbosa, the fairy slipper. (In Greek mythology, Calypso was the sea nymph who kept Odysseus for seven years after he was shipwrecked and washed up on her island, and finally released him to return to his wife.) This widespread but short-lived species is so susceptible to disturbance that it is endangered in some places. Calypso orchids are pollinated by bumblebees, who are fooled into visiting the nectarless flowers by some yellow hairs that resemble pollen (food, to the bees). The single leaf is produced in fall, overwinters, and dies away in summer. This orchid appears to be very scarce around Juneau, growing in only a few special places. The flowers should never be plucked, because the plant is so fragile that even gentle tweaks of the stem can break the underground parts and kill the plant.
We have several species of Platanthera (a.k.a. Habenaria), whose common name is bog orchid (for where it grows) or rein orchid (for the strap-like shape of certain flower parts). Some bog orchids have greenish, usually unscented flowers, but the white bog orchid is exceptionally fragrant. The tall flowering spikes of bog orchids can be found in our muskegs and at least some of them are probably pollinated by moths, as Darwin discovered for the species found in England. The related frog orchid (Coenoglossum viride) has been found occasionally in our alpine zones; it is small, with greenish flowers that may seem vaguely frog-like to some eyes.
A common orchid in conifer forest belongs to the genus Goodyera. Its wildly inappropriate common name is rattlesnake plantain. Although the markings on the leaves suggested snakeskin to some imaginative early settlers, in fact this plant has nothing whatever to do with snakes of any sort, nor is it related to true plantains. The whitish or greenish flowers grow in a spike, mostly oriented to one side of the stem.
Less common are the two species of Malaxis, which go by the unlovely names of adder's mouth and adder's tongue. The romantically named ladies' tresses (Spiranthes) bears whitish flowers arranged spirally along the spike; bees may pollinate the flowers, at least in some regions.
The two species of coralroot (Corallorhiza) in our woods are saprophytic, deriving their nutrition from decaying organic matter and not by photosynthesis, so they have no green parts. All one sees are the flowering spikes, pinkish in one species and yellowish in the other.
Finally, there are the twayblades (Listera), so called for the paired leaves midway on the flowering stalk. The inconspicuous spikes bear small yellowish or purplish flowers. A visiting insect has only to touch a certain spot in the flower to make the pollinia fly out explosively, along with a drop of glue that temporarily sticks the pollinia to the insect body. Darwin's careful observations and experiments showed that minute movements within each flower ensure that the receptive female surfaces are covered up until the pollinia are removed. Then they become exposed, so that a subsequent insect may deposit pollinia from another flower, ensuring cross-pollination.

Corn dogs are by far the item that I crave every year during the NC/Texas State Fair so this might fix my random cravings during the rest of the year. On top of that, this product promises crispy corn dog crust without deep frying... crispy and healthy...what more could I ask for.
We used this recipe instead of the recipe included with the machine. Given the reviews regarding the sizing of hot dogs, we chose the long and thin Nathan's hot dogs and they were perfect!!!

Society is definitely interesting. While people strive for perfection, they are also fascinated by imperfections. Take, for example, the dichotomy between a young and an old person. While the old person envies the younger person's wrinkle-free skin, the young person is fascinated by how the old person's skin shows the "ravages of time".
However, some skin imperfections can be prevented, like that of the annoying spider vein. The spider vein is a curious vein, which generally appears on the upper thighs and lower calves. There are many different reasons why a spider vein shows up, but luckily, there are ways that it can be prevented.
If you enjoy running or playing sports, then you probably know all about the proper footwear you should have, right? Wrong. You've probably seen at least one person running along wearing basic tennis shoes. Too many people choose to get sneakers that either look really nice, or cost next to nothing. Neither of these categories are meant for athletics.
One of the causes of a spider vein is, ironically, exercise without the right sneakers. These veins are an indication of circulatory problems caused by too much pressure on the legs. Look for sneakers with gel soles, and mesh to promote airflow through the feet. Yes, you might have to shell out a hundred bucks for a good pair, but it is worth it in the long run (no pun intended). This way, you will feel more comfortable, perform better athletically, and be secure in the fact that you're doing what you can to maintain healthy circulation.

Fiscal Impact Analysis
Fishkind & Associates are recognized experts in fiscal impact analysis. Fishkind has developed their Fiscal Impact Analysis Model ("FIAM") to incorporate the latest theories in capturing the revenues and expenditures to local governments generated by development projects. We have developed models for both private and public sector clients.
Private Sector
For the private sector, Fishkind & Associates has conducted fiscal impact analyses for large scale residential and commercial projects, oil and gas pipelines, industrial complexes, phosphate and rock mines, airports, military institutions, amusement parks, and for many other land uses. We work with our private sector clients to help them achieve success during the development permitting process including comprehensive plan amendments. If you are a private developer and need assistance with quantifying your project's impact to a local or state government, please contact us for a quote.
Public Sector
Fiscal Impact Model Expertise
Local governments that do not have sufficient staff or demand for a Fiscal Model "expert" may use Fishkind's expertise to perform any project analysis. Once the Fiscal Model is calibrated for your local government, Fishkind can provide a complete fiscal analysis for any proposed project, typically within 48 hours. This service is billed at our hourly rate and may be paid from fees charged to the developer of the project.
Budget Analysis and Funding Alternatives
The Fiscal Impact Model is particularly useful for developing short-term and long run projections for your budget by detailed line item and by fund type. The service package includes development of three alternative base-case projections and up to ten additional policy scenarios. The base-case projections assist communities in determining the fiscal sustainability of their current budgetary structures in light of: (a) the existing land uses, and (b) the impacts of future projected growth.
The service package includes detailed review and analysis of the community's existing budgetary structure. Sensitivity analysis is provided to explore any structural weaknesses. The package includes three site visits/workshops including a presentation to the elected local officials. The Fiscal Model with Comprehensive Plan existing inventories (Section 2) must be completed prior to these services and is not included in the price below.
Capital Improvement Element Consulting Support
Fishkind will assist the community in the development of the capital improvement element (CIP). Services will include the following:
Assistance examining levels of service in the comprehensive plan, the levels of service being delivered, and the backlog if any. This is now required under the recent amendments to Chapter 163, and the exercise must be conducted for each of the following facilities required to meet concurrency standards: (a) roads, (b) drainage, (c) solid waste, (d) potable water, (e) sanitary sewer, (f) parks and recreation, (g) mass transit if applicable, and (h) schools.
Assistance in projecting future demand for all eight of the capital facilities required for concurrency as outlined above.
Assistance in integrating the CIP with the local school board as required under the provisions for interlocal agreements governing the newly require public school facilities element of the comprehensive plan.
Assistance in estimating the future cost to maintain concurrency for all eight capital facilities required for concurrency.
Analysis of alternative funding mechanisms to fund backlog requirements as may be determined under item (a) above.
Analysis of alternative funding mechanisms needed to maintain concurrency in the future due to new growth as may be determined under item (b) above.
The service package includes four site visits/workshops with staff including a presentation to the local elected officials. The Fiscal Model with Comprehensive Plan of existing inventories must be completed prior to these services. For inquiries, please contact us by phone or via the form on the contact us page.
