Hochstatter and Huether Ancestral
Courtesy of Herb Hochstatter, Bakersfield, California
The following is information I have researched about my ancestors/relatives which are shown in the Hochstatter & Huether photographs; it gives an insight in where and how they lived and what their life style was like
Johann Hochstatter and Friedricka Luithle
Johann was born in South Russia 10 Dec 1828, His birth information is based on his age as listed on his death certificate. He is listed on the 1858, 10th census, entry #73, Alexanderhilf, Liebental District, Odessa along with his son Gottlieb (Johann Gottlob). He is listed as age 28 in this census. He came to the US in April 1894; He arrived in New York and went to Java, Walworth County, South Dakota to live with his son Johannes (John). He lived with his son until his death on 21 July 1906. The Walworth County, SD 1900 census for Germans from Russia lists Johann as John, born 1830, immigrated to the U. S. in 1893 and was a widower. He was living with his son John at the time this census was taken.
According to his death record in South Dakota, he is buried in the Congregational Cemetery five miles north of Java, SD. This location would put his grave near the Walworth and Campbell County line.
He was married to Friedricka Luithle, her death registration lists him as her spouse. Date of marriage in unknown. She was born 10 June 1831 in Marienfeld, South Russia and died 22 January 1869 in Neusatz, South Russia. Her birth is based on age listed on the death register. She is listed in the 1858 census for Grossliebental and Alexanderhilf. Daughters Karolina and Dorothea (Entzy) are also listed in the Alexanderhilf census. Friedricka age is listed as 24.
I have been able to identify nine children born to this marriage. Johann (1850-1850), Johann Gottlob (1852-1918) [my line], Karoline (1855- xxxx), Dorothea (1857-xxxx), Katharine (1859-1860), Christian (1861- 1909), Jacob (1863-1863), Jacob (1864-1865), and Johannes [John] (1867- 1943).

Johann Gottlob Hochstatter and Maria Barbara Huether
Johann Gottlob was born in Alexanderhilf, South Russia 14 Aug 1852. He and his wife immigrated to the U. S. via Canada in the spring of 1902. He left South Russia with his wife and all their children, including two married daughters and one married son, traveling by train and boat to Liverpool, England. On April 1, 1902 they boarded the ship "Lake Ontario" and sailed to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, arriving on April, 12. From Saint John they went by train to Winnipeg, Manitoba, then to Java and Kimball, South Dakota. They stayed in South Dakota with relatives during the summer of 1902 and left for the state of Washington in the latter part of October 1902.
The family arrived in Wilson Creek, WA on November 1, 1902, and they lived in a homestead shack during the winter of, 1902-03. Johann filed for homestead rights on March 14, 1903. The homestead was located 10 1/2 miles northeast of Moses Lake. The land description is as follows; Lot one, the south half of the northeast quarter, and the northwest quarter of the southeast quarter of section six in Township twenty north of Range twenty nine east of the Willamette Meridian, Washington, containing 170.35 acres. Patent Number 112198 was issued to him on 17 February 1910 for 170.35 acres of land, permanently giving him this land. You had to pay for any acreage over 160 acres. He paid $2.50 per acre for the excess 10.35 acres. This homestead land remained in the Hochstatter family until it was sold in October 1997. The owners at the time of sale were the three sons of George. None of these sons had any ambition to become farmers or to develop it into smaller farms and then sell them.
They received their mail at the Post Office in Wilson Creek. Later on a country store and post office by the name of Hicksville was started, and in 1910 the post office was moved to Wheeler. The first year they grubbed (removed) the sagebrush off of ten acres of their land and four acres off of John Hochstatter's (Johann Gottlob oldest son) place just south of theirs. They borrowed Jacob Ottmar's (Johann Gottlob's son-in-law) plow and harrow. Johann broadcasted the seed by hand. They planted wheat, barley, oats, Russian red wheat, spults, hyssop, and some potatoes and watermelons in their garden. At harvest time Johann cut the grain with a scythe, and raked it by hand with a wooden rake. He shocked the grain in bundles and tied it with straw from the grain.
They hauled their water from a well near Black Rock. They watered their garden and filled their cistern with alkali tasting water. Johann had a well drilled in 1907 at a cost of $1,000. When the drillers hit water they lost their tools and spend two weeks trying to fish them out of the well. They weren't successful in retrieving their tools and had to drill another well. The well supplied all of the water they needed and other homesteaders hauled water from it as it was sweeter than the Black Rock water.
After the first year they cleared 80 acres by burning the sagebrush. They bought a John Deere 12 inch gang plow. George's sister Caroline plowed with a four horse team. Sometimes the sagebrush roots were so strong that they would break the plow blade. In the spring of 1904 they borrowed Ottmar's seeder to plant the 80 acres. In the fall, John and Jacob Ottmar harvested Johann's crop using their header, they put the grain in stacks. Jake Schmauder (another son-in-law of Johann) had a horse driven threshing machine that they used to thrash the grain. Johann Hochstatter got the Schmauders to agree to do the whole harvest for $50. After they arrived for the harvest they tried to talk Johann into paying them seven cents per bushel instead. But he held them to their previous agreement and soothed them with all of the watermelon that they could eat. Fred Schmauder, the youngest one tended the separator. Christian Hochstatter, George's brother and Phillip Gottschalk sewed the sacks after they were filled with the grain.
Johann G. declared his intention to become a Citizen of the United States on 29 September 1902 in Circuit Court, Campbell County, South Dakota. He was naturalized on 13 July 1908 in U. S. District Court, Eastern District of Washington, Spokane. Certification of Naturalization No. 72954 includes the following family members: wife, Barbara; children; Pauline, age 19, Catherine, age 16, and Gotthold, age 10, all of Hicksville, WA.
Johann Gottlob's daughters attended the Keller school, which was built in 1904. They stayed with their oldest sister Barbara, who lived across the road from the school and was married to Jacob Ottmar. The School was located seven miles from the Hochstatter homestead on the northeast corner of where the county roads of 8-N. E. and P-N. E. now intersect.
Most of the above information about Johann Gottlob is from an audio tape by his youngest son Gotthold (George) Hochstatter( my father). The following item appeared in the Dakota Freie Presse on November 11, 1909 and reprinted in the Germans from Russia Heritage Review, No. 20, April 1978.
"Washington State
When my wife and I emigrated from South Russia to Washington, disembarking at the station of Wilson Creek, I had no idea where to turn. Since I knew there were already several families from the colony of Neusatz residing here, I inquired and found they lived 16 miles south of the station. but no one could tell me the exact place since everything here was a virgin land. There were as yet no roads and only occasionally would one find a clapboard shanty on the prairie. However, we finally succeeded in finding our friends Johann and Jakob Ottmar. How awful the landscape looked without grass or vegetation! Often you had to travel four or six miles to get to a well or a low spot for water. Today, however, it looks entirely different. Johann and Jakob Ottmar each have their own houses, large barns and other buildings, a windmill, and orchards and grape vines. Johann Wilging, Jakob and Johann Schmauder, and Ludwig and Johann Flood immigrated into the area from Bessarabia. The latter arrived in 1901. All of them have established themselves beautifully. In the second and third years, schools were built and church services have been conducted in them. Various preachers served the community. Even now we still do not have churches. About 20 miles from us is a Congregational Church and some 14 miles east of Hicksville is another Protestant church which is served by Pastor Stier. Two years ago in Wilson Creek a church was built.
With best regards."
Gottlob Hochstatter
Johann died 27 Jun 1918 at his homestead. He is buried in the Rocky Coulee, Ottmar Cemetery near Wheeler, WA. The local residence refer to this cemetery as the "Old" Keller Cemetery. The location of this cemetery is Township 20 North, Range 29 East, Section 26. Note: His death certificate shows his name as Gotthold, which is incorrect.
He married Maria Barbara Huether on 7 Nov 1874 in Johannesthal, So. Russia. Thirteen children were born to this marriage, ten survived to adulthood. The children are: Johann (1875-1875); Barbara [Ottmar] (1876-1968); Sophia [Arnold] (1877-1956); John D. (1879-1950); Caroline [Greenwalt] (1881- 1956); Karl (1882-xxxx); Christian (1887-1970); Margerethe (1884-1885)l Rosina [Rose] [Dormaier] (1886-before 1941); Elizabeth [Huether] (1887- 1949); Pauline [Schaal] (1889-1928); Katherine [Trautman] (1891-1971); and Gotthold [George] (1898-1983) [my father].
Maria was born 12 Sep 1854, Peterstal, South Russia. She died 10 Oct 1947 in Colfax, WA. She is buried in the same Cemetery as her husband Gottlob. Throughout her life she was known as Barbara. It wasn't until I saw her birth record did I realize her name was Maria. She married Frederick Dormaier in 1919 after Johann's death. They had no children. Maria and Frederick had a prenuptial marriage agreement. Maria's father, Paul Huether, Sr., lived to be 100 years old.

Gotthold (George) Hochstatter and Alice M. Joyner
George was the 13th child born to Johann Gottlob and Barbara Huether, ten of the children lived to adulthood. George was born 20 Jul 1898 in Neusatz, South Russia, he died 14 Nov 1983 in Othello, WA. On December 18, 1931 George married Alice Macon Joyner, she was born September 11, 1905 in Steven's County, near Deer Park, WA. Her parents were Samuel Madison Joyner and Core Charlotte Fields. George and Alice raised three sons Herbert George, (me) born at Ritzville, WA, Samuel Francis, born at Ritzville, WA. and the youngest Ellis William, born at Wenatchee, WA. They also have eight grandchildren, two boys and six girls. At the time of George's death there were two great grand sons. They celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary on 18 Dec 1981.
George met Alice when she came to work at the Moses Lake Inn for Loren Harris. After they were married, they lived in a house on the west side of the Moses Lake Hardware store on the southeast corner of Broadway and Division street. In 1939, they purchased a house from Amos Hull, a brother-in-law, and moved in after it had been renovated and updated. When purchased, it had no indoor plumbing. It was located at 314 Germania St., later to be renamed Division St. They lived there until George's death in 1983. Alice moved out in 1984 and sold the place. She moved into an apartment and lived there until her death in 1991.
George started school in the fall of 1908 at the Black Rock School. The Black Rock School was located at the southwest corner of Section 6, Township 20N, Range 29E at present intersection of roads 11 NE and M NE. George's brother John donated the land for the Black Rock school. John D. Hochstatter, Jr. was only five years old but still attended at the same time. The school teachers name was Michaelson. The first school term was for six months and the subsequent terms for eight months. George read the primer in twenty days with his sister's tutoring. Later, more homesteaders came and a school house was built by Charlie Scott, he was from Wilson Creek. The Black Rock School was eventually merged with the Gloyd School. George attended school through part of the 6th grade; the school had no higher grades.
George was more interested in machinery and wheels than class room learning. He bought some books on gas, steam and marine engines and studied them to become a mechanic and operator. He knew that horses were going to be replaced by machines. In 1916 he worked part time for his brother-in-law Christ Dormaier at the Ford garage in Ruff, WA. George worked on the farm and the steam stationary threshing machine. In 1909, George's brother Christ bought a threshing machine. The engine was a thirty-six inch Case, model 2530-25 horsepower engine and a 30 horsepower boiler, with 36 inch drivers on it. In 1919 Christ sold the outfit during harvest and George stayed close to the separator man and learned all he could about the separator and the engine. In 1922 and 1923 George operated the separator and steam traction engine for the new owner and a Holt-Caterpillar for someone else. He took time off from the Minnewash Fish Company to do so. In 1917 George helped a farmer put up hay and cultivate vegetables in Section 14 just east of the town of Nepple. He worked on a gravel crushing crew connecting the Nepple-Ritzville highway. Putting on the first gravel in the summer of 1920. He worked for those contractors for 22 months in eastern Washington. They were laying gravel on highway 2 between Wilson Creek and Marlin in October, 1921. He helped install machinery for the work on the first part of the road fill across Moses Lake. George donated labor on the first fair building that was located in Nepple where the S. E. corner of 5th Ave, and Chestnut Streets are now located. During 1923-24 he operated a launch for the Minnewash Fish Company, while they seined for carp in Moses Lake and shipped, by railroad, forty-six box car loads to the fish market on the east coast. In the fall of 1925 he worked for the Western Cold storage in Nepple, loading apples into box cars. Some years they averaged three thousand car loads of apples. Fresh produce was not available in the stores, so on some weekends during harvest the people from the surrounding counties would drive to Moses Lake to buy fresh vegetables and fruit.
On December 2, 1925, George, his brother John D. and nephew John D., Jr. purchased property from Ed Dry. They were partners in operating the Moses Lake Hardware and M and L Garage for many years until they split the operation in 1944. George operated the hardware store until he sold it in 1955. His nephew operated the garage. His brother John retired from the business. George was a Marshall Wells hardware dealer. The store had a coal burning stove with several chairs around it, and during the winter the old timers would gather around to swap stories.
George was very active in the Moses Lake civic arena: He was a member of the fair board for three years, 1926-1928; a charter member of the Grant County Historical Society, you can still see some of his donations at the Museum in Ephrata, WA. George also helped organize the Grant County Sportsman Club. Since Moses Lake did not have any game fish in it, in 1927 the state game commission shipped in five and ten gallon cans of bass and they were planted in the lake. Later they planted spiny ray fish that had been seined on the Pend Oreille river. In the 1930's, Frank Bell of Moses Lake and Ephrata became state fish commissioner. He shipped several rail car loads of spiny fish to Moses Lake in care of George. George would then organize other men to pick up the fish and direct them where to plant them in Moses Lake. George liked to fish and enjoyed the shade as he planted a lot of trees along the lake shore. Later the Chamber of Commerce would sponsor a bass fishing contest. He also helped organized the first commercial club of Moses Lake, it was known as the Isaac Walton League and was the fore runner to the chamber of commerce. George and Ed Hull organized the first Boy Scout Troop in Moses Lake in 1931. It was Troop 46, and all three of George's sons were eventual members of this troop.
He was an active member of the Odd Fellows and Rebekah Lodges. While with the Odd Fellows he was active in improvements at Pioneer Memorial Gardens Cemetery, where both he and Alice are buried. In the early to mid 1950's George was active in the Eagles Lodge, cooking for the Saturday night dances and supplying gallons of homemade dill pickles to go with the hamburgers. The cucumbers used in the pickles were from his own garden.
After Neppel was incorporated as Moses Lake in 1938, George was selected the first fire chief, and served for four years. In 1958 he was honored for 20 years of service with the fire department. He was a volunteer fireman until retiring in 1965 at age 67, he then became an honorary firemen for life. Before there was a fire department, George's hardware store was about the only place in town that had fire extinguishers. When there was a fire, someone would stop at the hardware store and take the fire extinguishers to fight the fire. Most people did not want to spend the money for a fire extinguisher.
When Moses Lake was incorporated, it did not have any fire fighting equipment. Funds were found and George sold Moses Lake six extinguishers at his cost. They were placed throughout town at various businesses. In 1942 when the water mains were installed, the city purchased fire hoses. The volunteer fireman built a hose cart to carry the hose and fire extinguishers. The first fireman to arrive at the station would sound the siren and the first one there with a trailer hitch on their vehicle would hook up the cart and the other men would pile on and off they went to fight the fire. Sometimes the only thing left was the lot where the structure had been standing. Later the first fire truck was purchased with government funds and the generous donations of local merchants who purchased tickets to the annual fireman's ball. At the fireman's ball George was always busy in the kitchen acting as the cook.
During World War II, George and Alice put in 18 hour days in the store. They were busy supplying the needs of the contractors and workers at the Moses Lake Air Base, later it was renamed Larson Air Force Base. They also were supplying the needs of the local farmers and other people in the area. Tools and supplies were scarce and sometimes unavailable because of the war effort.
After George sold the hardware business and moved out in 1955, he worked three summers for the Grant County Housing Authority at the project that was located where McCosh park is now located in Moses Lake. He also kept busy in the summers working in his garden that was located on the N. E. corner of Seventh and Division streets. He always raised more than he and Alice could use and gave away or sold lots of his vegetables, flowers, trees, and shrubs. His vegetables won several blue ribbons at the Grant County Fair. His nursery supplied a lot of the non-fruit trees to Charles Brown, who started the town of George Washington, located southeast of Quincy. As you drive between Moses Lake and Ellensburg on Interstate 90 you can see the size of some of the trees to the south. George was an active bee man, keeping several dozen colonies of bees from which he extracted the honey and sold it. In the winter, George continued repairing oil stoves and furnaces. Marshall Wells had trained him for this in 1927 and had yearly training sessions that he attended. He finally retired for good in 1978 when he was approaching the age of 80.
In 1957, when his son Sam graduated from Southern California Bible College, George and Alice took their first vacation since being married and attended the ceremony in Costa Mesa, CA. George did not like being idle for long so he helped out by trimming some of the shrubs on the campus.
George was instrumental in organizing the first Hochstatter/Dormaier picnic/reunion in Moses Lake in 1963. In 2003 this gathering celebrated the 40th anniversary of the event. Over the years it has been held in Moses Lake or the Yakima area.
During all these years George leased the Hochstatter homestead, which he had inherited from his mother at the time of her death.

MissM. needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 73 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
We're redesigning our website and I'd like to kick it off with a new logo. New colors, new brand, new US!
Phenomenal Women Forums
Phenomenal Women Forums has been online since 2005, providing a private, comfortable, cozy place to land for adult women of all ages, backgrounds, stages in life. We're poised for massive growth and are in the process of redesigning our forums/designing a women centric website with resources and information crucial to today's woman. We're a site of strong mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, wives, aunts, employees. We need something that makes a strong statement about us that doesn't take away the fact that we're women.
We're looking to redesign our site and I'm starting with a new logo so that I can start rebuilding the rest of the site, and so I can have letterhead and business cards and merchandise created ahead of the new site launch.
- Design: We're looking for trendy and classy but still feminine. NO flowers, no bows. Swirls and swoops are fine, bendy lines, snappy images, nothing generic.
- Color Scheme: We're IN LOVE with brown/blue with cream/white/light pink accent, maybe even a little green? It says feminine sophistication without being girly. Other color combinations are open for suggestion, though.

Cuff bracelet set with pavé diamonds, in white gold.
This cuff offers a surprising and modern new interpretation of the Quatre symbolic codes. Quatre's strong design, made of sculpted, graphic lines comes to life thanks to the Hands of Light who reproduce the collection's mythical visual codes on an open-work structure set with pavé diamonds.
The piece's open-work allows the light to shine in and offer the confort of a second skin.
The most extraordinary order ever seen on the Place Vendôme
It was in August 1928 that the Maharajah of Patiala arrived at number 26 Place Vendôme, escorted by servants carrying six boxes full of precious stones, including 7 571 diamonds and 1 432 emeralds. Impressed by Boucheron's reputation and the special link the Maison had established with India, he ordered an exceptional set of jewelry to be made up of 149 jewelry pieces with the thousands of diamonds, rubies and emeralds from his treasure. To this day, this is the most important and extraordinary order ever seen on Place Vendôme.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

State police are trying to find the owner of a large stash of decaying cash that was found in some western Pennsylvania woods.
Troopers from the barracks in Clarion say the money was found in Highland Township, about 60 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Gary Rex tells WPXI-TV (http://bit.ly/12nm8SS ) that he was walking from his camp and found the money in an old tree stump and some scattered on the ground.
Police have traced the serial numbers and there are no reports the money has been stolen. Police aren't saying how much money is there because they want whoever claims it to provide that information.
It wasn't immediately clear if police are releasing the dates the money was printed as investigators couldn't immediately be reached Thursday.

Lopinavir/r Oral Solution
March/April 2011
On 24 February 2011, FDA approved changes to the Kaletra (lopinavir/ritonavir) Oral Solution product label related to toxicity in preterm neonates secondary to adverse events related lopinavir and/or the inactive ingredients propylene glycol and ethanol.
This label change was made after review of 10 postmarketing cases with life-threatening events reported in neonates (babies less than 4 weeks old) that received Kaletra oral solution. Postmarketing life-threatening cases included cardiac toxicity (including complete AV block, bradycardia, and cardiomyopathy), lactic acidosis, acute renal failure, central nervous system depression, and respiratory complications. Of the 10 cases, there was one death due to cardiogenic shock related to a large overdose of Kaletra oral solution.
Reduced metabolism by the liver and reduced kidney function in newborns can lead to an accumulation of lopinavir (the active ingredient), as well as alcohol and propylene glycol. Preterm babies may be at increased risk for health problems because they cannot metabolise propylene glycol; this could lead to accumulation and adverse events such as serious heart, kidney, or breathing problems.
The Dosage and Administration section 2.2 and the Overdosage section 10 were revised and a new Warning and Precautions was included to describe the toxicity in preterm neonates.
Please refer to the full label for details.

Remodeled Boston Home
A decorative facelift and new family room rejuvenate a Georgian Colonial
Slide 1 Of Remodeled Boston Home
If Lynn Bay Dayton's life followed the pattern of a multicourse meal, then at this point she's enjoying dessert. It all started in 1990, when she began adding just the right ingredients to a recipe for life that has made her journey one long feast. That was the year she enrolled in a classical French culinary program in San Francisco. And-pounds of butter, flour, sugar, and eggs later-that's where she not only mastered the art of making exquisite soufflés but fell in love with Bruce Dayton, who became her husband. (A professional baker from Minneapolis, he was also trained at the school.)
After marrying, the couple moved to the Boston area, where finding a home and starting a family became a priority. Happily, they discovered a luscious, tree-filled property with a mouthwatering Georgian Colonial house and cobblestone drive that exactly suited their tastes. "The minute I pulled into the drive, I knew this was the one," says Lynn. "I loved the cobblestones, and when I walked into the house and saw the light, I was smitten."
Following their move in 1996, Lynn left her job as a caterer and event planner to raise sons Alex and Conner, to work on home-renovation projects, and to deepen her commitment to philanthropy, intensifying her efforts toward a variety of causes. She's been turning up her "giving" burner ever since. "It's all about education, children, and animals," says Lynn.
In life as in cooking, sometimes the most successful projects evolve over time, with a pinch of this and a dash of that, until the flavor is complex, nuanced, and satisfying. Lynn and Bruce's renovation of their home, completed in 2009, simmered for11 years as they gathered the furnishings and artwork they love, completing numerous projects along the way.
As the couple worked on renovation plans, they learned that an invaluable resource lay close at hand-at the public television station where Lynn was a volunteer. A restoration consultant working at WGBH-TV, the station broadcasting This Old House, led the couple to professionals who could help them realize their design dreams-Design Associates, a Cambridge architectural firm, and Boston interior designer Michael Carter. In fact, Carter's work with the Daytons seemed fated.
"When Lynn and I first talked, she pulled out a file of design ideas," says Carter. "The first page she showed me was a magazine depicting one of my projects, but she had no idea that it was my design. Our relationship was meant to be."
Using pieces the Daytons already had and a color scheme that provides an effortless flow from room to room, Carter created a house high in sustenance but low in sugary extras.
The front entry leads into a neoclassic foyer reflecting the home's gracious heritage. Its dark oak floor is a gleaming foil for the graceful antique and reproduction furniture favored by the Daytons. In the adjoining dining room, a tribal-patterned rug in shades of blue underscores the space. With its fireplace and sparkling chandelier, it's a warmly hospitable setting for the dinner parties the couple hosts for friends and family and for numerous charity fund-raisers.
The living room is no show-off, but it commands attention with its sophisticated finish. The soft, glowing tone of the room is heightened by armchairs covered in a quiet geometric velvet, while pops of turquoise enliven the space's serene sensibility.
A decorative face-lift was only one part of the Daytons' redo. A family room addition provided space that was needed to accommodate large crowds during fund-raisers as well as a comfortable spot for the family to watch television.
The public spaces of the house are certainly tasteful, but the more intimate spaces are even more enticing. The kitchen is set off by a banquette, formal in execution with its nailhead trim and an attractive contrast to the casual flair of the window dressing.
The sunroom is citrusy fresh in lime green and crisp white. A zestful play of patterns comes from a gray rug woven with a geometric motif, toile drapery panels, and stripes on the cushions of a slipper chair. A nine-piece grid of oil-on-wood bird portraits created by renowned bird artist Ellen Granter stirs in a striking boost of color.
"Everyone yearns for comfort in a home," says Lynn. "It makes so much more sense to brainstorm about community needs in a house than in an office downtown." The Dayton place is indeed one of those houses that seems to be conducive to collegial gatherings where such problems are discussed and solutions inspired.
"My house is where needs are identified," Lynn explains. "And it's where I muster up the excitement to move forward."

In the sunroom, artist Ellen Granter's eye-catching birds painted on wood panels hang above a freestanding metal flock on a Parsons-style console table, enhancing the room's nature theme. Upholstered stools tuck under the table.

The kitchen eating area reflects Lynn's color preferences with a sophisticated version of blue and white mixed with touches of straw yellow.
Slide 8 Of Remodeled Boston Home [21]
In the master bedroom, highly patterned elements-the headboard, covered in "Dora" fabric by Andrew Martin, the "Richelieu" bedskirt by Holland & Sherry, and the "Damask" rug by Michaelian & Kohlberg-continue the home's blue-and-cream palette.

Nourishing others has been a running theme throughout Lynn's career and life. As a chef and caterer, she created delicious food for others to savor. Now, this foodie is caretaker to a host of others through organizations in Massachusetts, where she resides with her husband, two sons, and a handful of shelter cats. "It is kind of like cooking," says Lynn of her charitable endeavors. "You know what you like and what works well together."
And just like a dinner menu that features filet mignon one night and lasagna another, Lynn's philanthropic schedule is varied. She devotes her time to a number of carefully chosen organizations. Her love for animals has led her to positions as board member for MSPCA-Angell (mspca.org), an organization that works to prevent animal cruelty, and Lovelane (lovelane.org), a riding program that offers horse therapy to children with special needs. She also serves on the board of trustees of WGBH, Boston's public radio and television stations.
"Philanthropy has always been a part of my life and family," says Lynn. "I often feel that I get back so much more than what I give."

We would just like to thank each and every one of you who have personally thanked us for our hard work on this website. We decided to place the testimonials right where you can find them not only as a thank you to those who have put in their hard work, but also for those of you who have yet to take CBEST Exam and may need some inspiration and/or confirmation that since you are here visiting Longsdale Publishing, you've come to the right place. The following are all real:
"As an English major transitioning into the role of educator, one of the most daunting aspects of my credentialing experiance was the CBEST math section. Thankfully, my undergraduate university recommended and provided access to the Longsdale Publishing online CBEST study guide. To my great relief, the study guide provided a thorough enough review of math problems and procedures that I hadn't seen since senior year high school. I was able to put together the necessary information to study, and the numerous practice test prepared me more than I imagined. Thanks to Longsdale Publishing, I received a score of 60 on the CBEST math section, a score I couldn't have imagined a few months ago on my weakest subject."
Cristobal A., California State University, Channel Islands
"Longsdale Publishing has provided excellent insight into the CBEST test. The program is split into the three sections: reading, math, and writing. There are helpful study guides as well as practice tests in which the answers are explained. You can even send in your writing to get it assessed by someone! I am confident Longsdale Publishing has helped me succeed in my CBEST studying."
Amber D., East Palo Alto, CA
"I'm very happy with the CBEST Essay Question Review process. It was very easy to make use of and very valuable. I was able to submit two samples on consecutive days and receive prompt feedback within 48 hours. The review was very encouraging, thorough and professional. It's really nice to have an objective person available to provide critical feedback in a constructive manner. A friend or family member may not be so objective. I strongly encourage anyone to take advantage of this great service."
Alfonso M., Manteca, CA
"I used your website for the practice tests and for tips. I enjoyed using this service through the pre-credential program for CSU Channel Islands. I appreciate this help and all the study materials. This program is great overall. I appreciate it. Thank you so much for reading my essay."
Rochelle R., CSU Channel Islands student
"Longsdale's customer service was superior. I received speedy, thoughtful, and courteous replies to all my inquiries. Very helpful, and many thanks!"

I'm so glad we have until February! My old XP finally died on me and everything I had been working on is stuck on my hard drive. My motherboard is fried I had started collecting image ideas so now I have to start all over. I am still getting my programs installed on this computer which is my sons old computer with Windows 7 and it's not very user friendly at all. Grrrr.
February Blog Train Discussion
@Tina: Oh you gonna love windows 7 when you get the hang of it all There is only one thing i miss from xp and that is the option of seeing one big pictures on the files rather than what w7 has but i've learned to live with it..
Btw i usualy compress my files into .rar, since the usual programs can open it and it's one of the most prefered Does anyone have trubble opening it??
@Tina: I hear ya... ((hugs)) I, too, loved my XP, and am still not very comfortable with Windows 7. Like with PSP X4 & Outlook 2010 (which you've heard me gripe about) - things are not in the same place, and some things have been renamed as well! Very frustrating at times... I'm here if you need a sounding board... And maybe we can help each other?
I feel you... I hung onto to XP as long as I could like you and Lizanne. I missed it so bad, but I am somewhat familiar now having to use a new laptop we bought instead of a giant clunker PC. ... and NOW Windows 8 is already been released, mercy!!! LoL
If it was just your motherboard, someone should be able to take your old hard drive and get all your stuff off there and transfer it to your new one. It shouldn't have messed any of that up. That's what happened to me, exactly and hubby just transferred all my docs, pictures, and scrapping stuff... also my email, but that part was a little wasted time because now since that I've changed my email not to download to my PC so I can just manage it all online... you know with the smart phones and tablet, and pc I can read and take care of my messages almost anywhere just by logging in to it.
Lol. Yes Shawna, I've already started that process. My son has been studying to learn how to work with computers (he built his own) so he is taking my hard drive out of the dead computer and trying it in another old XP we had way back in the closet that we totally forgot was there. I will just be happy if I can get all the files I've been working on for the past week. I normally back up but not usually every day...I had just backed everything up last week but didn't back up what I've worked on this past weekend. Christmas eve was the first time I turned my computer on for a couple days (too busy with holiday stuff) and it just would not turn on. I'm crossing my fingers he can get the other one going.
I had some really good ideas saved for the retro kitchen theme and I'm not sure I could find them again. I stumbled on a blog which led me to other blogs and I was on a roll, lol. I wanted to see if I could duplicate some of the patterns with some of the shapes I have (errr had). We'll see. At least I've got a little time to get it together
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback...I was a little bumbed about it but knowing I'm not the only one who has had to go "cold turkey" from XP...I don't feel so alone...it's like a little XP withdrawal support group
A bunch of people have mentioned collecting ideas and inspiration for the blog train. Are any of you on Pinterest? I would love to turn my Retro Kitchen inspiration board into a group board. If you are interested, let me know your Pinterest name and I will add you so you can pin to the board as well.
The retro kitchen theme looks really cool. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
I love everyone's enthusiasm! I'm really enjoying the "Community" here. Looking forward to everyone's piece of the train! And I am really pleased to see that there will be new people joining the train for the first time. That's how we all learn and grow.
I would love to see your pintrest. I don't have my link to it but it's under Sugarbutt Designs. (I don't use it a lot so I'm not sure what to give you but I would love to start using it too)
Thank you for great offer hun!
@Sugarbutt, Ok, dear, I have added you to the Pinterest board for Retro Kitchen inspiration! If you come across anything in your internet wanderings, just pin it, and the option to pin to our shared board should come up. It's here if you want to see what is there so far: http://pinterest.com/MissMeridian/retro-kitchen/
Hi Violet,
I would love to join in, even though I don't spend a lot of time on pinterest (out of self-protection - it is too addictive!). You can find me here: http://pinterest.com/melouisevrijhof/

Vic Fleming
The elections of 2012 are over. Under local law, a certain person was reelected, unopposed, to a fifth four-year term.
The 16-year incumbent had occasion recently to reflect on the election of 1996, his first. He's fond of saying, "I'll never forget the year Bill Clinton rode my coattails to another term in the White House."
As a candidate, he'd worked long hours each day for months, politicking. There were four candidates. Each of the other three had gotten at least one significant early endorsement by a recognized entity. He'd gotten the nod from one newspaper columnist on Sunday before Election Day.
As unoriginal as it was, his philosophy was simple:
1. Your friends don't elect you; your enemies defeat you. Make friends.
2. Determine how many votes you need. Then personally ask for at least that many.
3. Do everything your opponents do each day. Then go home and make 100 phone calls, making friends and asking for votes.
Election day. The plan was to start on one side of town and work his way to the other. At 25 of 75 voting places, he'd make friends and ask for votes, reminding people that he was working up to the last possible moment.
5:15 p.m. Rush-hour traffic. He'd been to the first 20 spots on his list. But now he was stuck in traffic. The street ahead was somewhat familiar. He thought it was a shortcut to where he was headed.
With traffic at a crawl, he made out the church's name on the sign. It was a polling place, though not on his list to visit. At the rate he was driving, it was going to take half an hour to get where he was going. What the heck, he thought, and pulled into the near-empty lot.
It was misting rain. The temperature was falling. He went inside and asked the volunteers how many people had voted. He was told 510 ballots had been cast.
"And how many do you expect?"
"Four years ago, 519 voted."
"So, if I stand in the lot for two hours, I might chat with nine people?"
"That's probably about right."
"Thanks for your service."
He got into his car, and then saw another car pulling in. Killing the engine, he got out, gave a man and woman his brochure and asked for their votes.
"You're all alone in this cold, dark, parking lot on Election Day? We're going to vote for you."
The candidate got back into his car and decided he would wait at least five minutes before leaving. At the four-minute mark, another car arrived.
He stayed in the lot until the polls closed. He went inside and learned that 609 ballots had been cast. He'd asked for 99 votes, one-on-one with voters, in that lonely church lot.
At midnight the election commission called. All but the absentee ballots had been counted. Over 50,000 votes had been cast. And he was winning – by 81 votes.
Twelve hours later, the absentee vote would increase his margin to over 200. But that 81-vote cushion made slumber a possibility that evening for one very tired candidate.

Obamacare troubles remain
For House Democratic Caucus Chairman Xavier Becerra, the new, improved Obamacare website is better than it was — but the law won't be a success "until every American who has a chance to qualify for these health insurance policies gets it."
For Jeremy Milarsky, who works for one of the "navigator" groups in Missouri that's helping people sign up, the website is improved enough to make the job easier, mainly because of a new health plan browser feature that actually works.
Story Continued Below
But for health insurers across the country, the new HealthCare.gov isn't even close to a success — and won't be until the Obama administration finishes the critical parts that aren't even built yet.
( Understanding Obamacare: POLITICO's guide to the ACA)
The fixes to the federal Obamacare enrollment website are holding up well enough — so far — that they mark a small but crucially important milestone in the rollout of President Barack Obama's signature health care law. For the first time since October, Democrats are ready to go on the offensive again, and advocates of the law are ready to start inviting people back. And Republicans are saying, hey, it was never all about the website anyway.
But the administration's seeming success in bringing the website up to a basic level of competency is nowhere close to the kind of turnaround that would reboot the whole conversation — or make anyone ready to declare the Affordable Care Act a success.
Whole sections of the "back end" of the website, the part insurers deal with, remain unfinished. Democrats are now questioning the Obama administration about how it's fixing the faulty enrollment records the website has been spitting out, to make sure people don't find out they can't use their new insurance after all.
And there are so many other real and potential problems — canceled policies, "sticker shock" and the possibility that people in certain situations won't be able to keep their doctors — that Republicans have lots of ways to change the subject and keep the attacks coming.
The website repair won't erase two months of lost time on the rollout. But it's a big enough deal to give Democrats and other Obamacare supporters a badly needed psychological boost that two weeks ago seemed a longshot — and for many of them, that's good enough.
( PHOTOS: 25 unforgettable Obamacare quotes)
"I think it's doing better, and that's significant. But that doesn't mean you can declare it a success," said Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.). "I just don't think you can say it's a success or a failure based on one day or event. It's a moving target."
The White House has been more mixed in its definitions of success. Obama sounded bullish at times when he hit the campaign trail for the law again on Tuesday. "The bottom line is this law is working and will work into the future," he said, as he reminded his audience of popular benefits like coverage of pre-existing conditions, free preventive care and the end of lifetime limits on health benefits.
But he was also cautious about declaring the website totally fixed. "We've learned not to make wild promises about how perfectly smooth it's going to be at all times," Obama said. But he vowed that "we're going to keep on working to fix whatever problems come up in any startup" — and he was confident enough to declare to Republicans that "we're not going back."
One of the most immediate problems the administration has to fix is the parts of the website that don't even exist yet. The administration still has to build three critical "back end" pieces that insurers need. One is the part that handles "reconciliation," where insurers double-check who's enrolled in which health plans at what prices. That's especially important, since some insurers say they're not certain they're getting the records of everyone who has enrolled.
( PHOTOS: 12 Democrats criticizing the Obamacare rollout)
The other pieces are the payment system that will pay the federal Obamacare subsidies to the insurers — due in late January for everyone who has enrolled by mid-December — and the parts that will compensate insurers that attract too many sick people.
To health insurers, whose cooperation the Obama administration needs to get people covered, the repair effort won't be a success until all of those pieces are in place.
"In addition to addressing the ongoing problems with the enrollment files, other 'back end' functions, such as reconciliation and the processing of subsidy payments, need to be working to ensure the new marketplace is stable and consumers' coverage is not disrupted," said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, the main trade group for health insurance companies.
Julie Bataille, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which is implementing the law, told reporters Tuesday that the administration is "working to make sure with the fixes in place that we've addressed the most significant back-end issues and that we will work with [health insurers] so that we get accurate, timely enrollment information for them and for consumers."
Still, for a website that had a rollout as disastrous as HealthCare.gov — the federal health insurance exchange that serves 36 states — it was a small victory for the administration that the site hasn't crashed since the relaunch.
People did experience delays and "please wait" messages on Monday, when a million visitors checked out the site and some got placed in a new cyber-holding queue. But the site didn't go down, and it ran more smoothly on Tuesday.

Use the 'chopper for about 90% of it.... GET INTO THA CHOPPA
...secret ending seems to clearly spell out that Jake will be getting his own spin-off or definitely be in the 7th game. Yay!
snipAlso Playing Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracles.I *love* the puzzles, but a lot of the story elements are really tiring and tedious. And while I love Layton, between he, Luke, and sort-of newcomer Emmy, there's really, really little character variety among them. They're pretty lax, but serious about puzzles, and dandy about everything else. I always respect Tales games in comparison who, say they're looking at a painting, one character will love it, one will hate it, one won't get it, etc... Layton folk: "looks amazing!", "I should come to galleries more!", "I'd love that in my house!". Occasional humour gets put in, but I'm in it mostly for the puzzles I think (the story this time around is kinda predictable...).The 3D transition is actually brilliant. I was sad the French animation was done away with, but the models are fantastic and well animated. And the music is catchy and beautifully melodic (I'm happy with the new puzzle song too!). Good game. :)
Been playing Persona 4, the vanilla version not the Ponyboy version. I'm bound and determined to actually beat it this time. I'm nearing the 2nd to last dungeon and trying to finish up all the party member S-links. Every time I play this game I'm so amazed by how stylish the presentation is. The transparent silhouettes of the main characters on the main menu blows my mind every time.

Happy Birthday to Virginia Woolf
When one was young, said Peter, one was too much excited to know people. Now that one was old, fifty-two to be precise (Sally was fifty-five, in body, she said, but her heart was like a girl's of twenty); now that one was mature then, said Peter, one could watch, one could understand, and one did not lose the power of feeling, he said. No, that is true, said Sally. She felt more deeply, more passionately, every year. It increased, he said, alas, perhaps, but one should be glad of it — it went on increasing in his experience.
--Virginia Woolf,
Mrs. Dalloway
Today is Virginia Woolf's 129th birthday. Woolf is one of my touchstone writers, a writer I've been reading for the majority of my life (really, I first tried to read Mrs. Dalloway in middle school -- I didn't get too far, but I found the first pages of the book utterly entrancing, and by the time I read it fully for the first time eight or nine years later, I had those pages nearly memorized). I've read all of Woolf's novels at least once, and Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando many times. They are magic poetry.
I've known a couple of Woolf scholars over the years, and one of the things that made me a lifelong Woolf devotee was working at the 7th International Virginia Woolf Society Conference when it was held in my hometown of Plymouth, NH. I had only read Mrs. Dalloway and Orlando at that point, but I found the conference invigorating. I even coerced Hermione Lee into signing my copy of her brilliant biography while I signed her in. The next fall, I took an undergraduate course devoted to Woolf's work; I was the only male in the class, and some of the other students thought my passion for Woolf's writings was a little weird. "You don't understand!" I remember telling one of them when we happened to find ourselves sitting together on a bus. "There's nobody like her! Those sentences!" It was hardly one of my more eloquent moments, and probably led to me being considered weirder than I already was, but nonetheless the passion was real. (I had a similar, though I hope slightly more informative, moment this past term when I spent 10 minutes taking a class of writing students through one of the sentences in "The Death of the Moth." I wrote the sentence on the board, broke it into some components, talked with great enthusiasm about it and the genius of it ... and after class went to my department head and said, "Do you ever get really into something you're doing in class, then look at the students and think, 'Wow, I really am a freak.'" And she replied, "Yes, it's the foundation of my pedagogy.")
I knew Anne Fernald as a blogger before I knew she was a Woolf scholar, though she had been at the Plymouth conference. We used to hang out together at the LitBlog Co-op, and when I first moved to New Jersey, she gave me a tour of Jersey City and environs. Anne is editing an edition of Mrs. Dalloway for Cambridge University Press, work that has consumed her for a few years, and though I don't envy her the tedium of some of that work, I do envy her getting to study all sorts of editions of the novel, to see it in all its permutations, to trace its meanings and influences. If I can find a line where they're selling her edition when it is released, I will force my way to the front.
Anyway, what I wanted to say here was that a talk Anne gave at The New York Public Library about her work on Mrs. Dalloway is now available as a podcast. It's fascinating stuff (well, to those of us who love Mrs. Dalloway) and a fine way to spend an hour during Woolf's birthday.

Implementing Big Ideas During A Recession
Closed: 10 Jun 2009, 11:59PM PT
The current economic situation has certainly reduced the financing prospects of a good number of big ideas, but that doesn't mean the development of innovative businesses and technologies should (or will) grind to a halt. Obviously, though, starting up during a boom is a bit different than bootstrapping during a recession. But that just means more garage startups get created in actual garages -- focused on creating truly valuable services and technology.
So what kind of big ideas are possible to develop during a recession? How can government help (or hinder) economic growth under the current financial conditions? What kinds of technology revolutions may be primed to go right now -- and what can help give them a boost? What areas of business are thriving currently and are poised to continue to grow even when the economy recovers? How do companies plan for long-term growth and avoid pessimistic short-term thinking?
Microsoft People Ready Business is sponsoring this case to create interesting discussions at BigThink's section on Navigating Today's Economy. We're looking for unique perspectives that will inspire further conversations, and selected insights will be published on BigThink.com.
