Danny Miller might have never left his hometown of Fremont, Ohio, had it not been for his big brother.
Danny, the younger brother of Dr. Big Bill Miller, a collegiate and professional Hall of Fame grappler, made the decision to turn pro in 1955.
And he's never looked back.
"I might have been walking behind a plow somewhere had I not got into wrestling," the jovial Miller laughs.
Miller recently marked his 81st birthday, but the memories of his days in the wrestling business are never far away.
For his achievements in the wrestling business, specifically his contributions in the Crockett territory during the 1970s and '80s, Miller will be inducted into the 2013 Class of the Mid-Atlantic Hall of Heroes at Fanfest Weekend on Aug. 1-4 in Charlotte.
"It's a wonderful honor," says Miller. "I really look forward to seeing my old friends and fans. It's going to be pretty exciting."
Like his brother, Danny attended Ohio State University, where Bill was a nine letterman and in the Hall of Fame for wrestling, football and track.
But Danny stayed in school for only a year before joining the military.
Stationed in Fort Jackson, it was a brand new experience for Miller.
"It was very good. I got to see a lot of things I would have never seen in Ohio," says Miller, who served from 1953-55, following the end of the Korean War.
"When I got out of the military, Bill trained me to come into pro wrestling."
Miller, who stood 6-1 and weighed 245 pounds, couldn't have had a more qualified trainer teaching him the ropes.
Brother Bill, at a towering 6-6 and tipping the scales at nearly 300 pounds, had been an All-American heavyweight wrestler, a two-time Big Ten heavyweight champion and conference MVP his senior year. He also was an All-American shot-put and discus track star who would be voted into the Ohio State University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1997 for both wrestling and track.
Danny learned well from his big brother.
He vividly recalls his first pro match, on Nov. 15, 1955, in Springfield, Ohio.
"Evidently they had someone was who hurt, sick or couldn't make the show. I was shaking all over and scared to death."
At the time he broke in, says Miller, there was no shortage of seasoned, grizzled veterans based in the territory. He knew very well what they could do to a young upstart. He plotted his strategy accordingly.
"The only way I could get away from them was to get to the ropes so the referee would make them break. I had mat burns on my cheeks, my shoulders, my chins, my elbows, my knees. I told my brother Bill that I didn't know if this was the right business for me."
As it turned out, though, it was the perfect business for Miller, who enjoyed a successful 34-year career.
"As time goes on, you get smartened up. You learn to go with the program. But at first I got put in with those older guys, and they didn't want to see the younger guys get that chance because they might get knocked out of a booking. It was kind of a vicious cycle."
Even being the brother of Big Bill Miller didn't help.
"He wasn't in the picture. He probably laughed all the way to the bank."
Miller would hit his stride a couple of years later when he began teaming with Nelson Royal.
Like Miller, Royal also broke in with promoter Al Haft's Columbus promotion and showed early promise.
Royal, who would later become a Mid-Atlantic star, had started wrestling at the age of 17 under the watchful eye of legendary Indian wrestler Don Eagle. For nearly two years, he trained with Eagle and wrestled in nightly events held at National Guard armories for $5-10 a night.
His pairing with Miller was good for both performers.
"We started in the business together. We kind of both learned together. Nellie was very good," recalls Miller, who would enjoy a lucrative program working against Royal several years later in the Amarillo territory.
"Those were the days when you wrestled at the county fairs up in Maine and Vermont where it was colder than a well-digger. You took your shower out in the pens with the cows and the horses. It was a lot different then than it is today."
The two began teaming in Boston, and later moved to Montreal. Brother Bill, meanwhile, had added a fictional sibling to the mix. Ed Albers, who resembled Big Bill and was even slightly larger but not nearly as athletic, was given the moniker Ed Miller.
Ed, however, broke his ankle in a 1957 match. With baby brother Dan couple of years into the wrestling game, Bill made the call.
"It was my first big break. I was doing just preliminary matches. Bill and Ed were out in Calgary at that time with Stu Hart. When Ed broke his ankle, Bill called and asked if I felt comfortable enough to come out there and tag with him. We were very successful. I spent the last three months of 1957 there."
Their main opponents were another brother team, George and Sandy Scott, whom Miller would become well acquainted with during his later years in the Carolinas.
The two teams battled it out at the Calgary Stampede, Hart's big promotion of the year, and sold out the Calgary Corral.
"Ed was at ringside when Bill and I wrestled," recalls Miller. "Of course here's baby brother Dan. I was a midget compared to Bill and Ed."
Ed would later join Danny and Bill for six-man matches in the Buffalo, Toronto and Calgary territories. Danny and Bill would team sporadically throughout the years, with one of their biggest wins coming in 1965 at Madison Square Garden where they defeated Gorilla Monsoon and Cowboy Bill Watts for the WWWF tag-team title.
The Miller Brothers usually worked as heels, but it didn't matter to Danny.
"The fantasy of wrestling is: What can I do to give these fans their dollars' worth? I always contended that the first match on the card was very important. If you put the people in the palm of your hand, then you can manipulate them and do anything you want to with them. But you have to gain their confidence first before you get their response. Once you have a million dollars, it's not too hard making the second."
Miller enjoyed strong runs in a number of territories, working for such promoters as Sam Muchnick in St. Louis, Fritz Von Erich in Texas, Ed "The Sheik" Farhat in Detroit, Dory Funk Sr. in Amarillo, and Eddie Graham in Florida.
Proficient in both singles and tag-team competition, Miller would acquire a slew of titles over the years, including the Florida heavyweight and Brass Knuckles crowns. As a tag-team specialist, he held titles with the likes of brother Bill, Fritz Von Erich, Jose Lothario, Whipper Billy Watson, Ronnie Etchison and Nick Kozak.
One of his most memorable runs was in the Mid-Atlantic area during the early '70s.
Miller first arrived on the scene in 1971 and captured the Eastern States title from The Missouri Mauler (Larry "Rocky" Hamilton). He became the first Mid-Atlantic TV champion in 1974 with a win over Ole Anderson.
In the interim he formed a top team with Les Thatcher. "Les was very talented, and we had a great time together," said Miller. "He was like a brother to me."
He recalls a 1971 match the two had with The Masked Marvels (Billy Garrett and Jim Starr) in Norfolk, Va.
"We won the match, and the fans went over the barriers. The TV crew was there. We had sold the place out. The fans put us on their shoulders and carried us out of the ring. The place was electrified."
Despite their popularity and their wins over such top teams as The Marvels, Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson, The Mauler and Brute Bernard, and Art Nelson and Gene Anderson, Miller hints that politics in the booking office may have prevented them from going further.
"The people in Charlotte didn't see that. It would have been to their good advantage to have Les and I as tag-team partners (champions)," he said. "We were enthusiastic. We didn't walk to the ring — we ran to the ring. We had red, white and blue outfits, and we were quite popular."
Miller, though, has nothing but fond memories of Jim Crockett Sr., who passed away in 1973.
"Jim Crockett Sr. was a big guy. What a man he was. He would sit and observe. He was honest as the day was long."
Miller says he still remembers going into Crockett's modest office in Charlotte, and talks about the standards which Crockett demanded.
"If somebody came in his office with their shirt outside of their pants, they got sent away without their check," said Miller. "When you walked into his office, you presented yourself as a professional person. He was really a straight-laced guy. He was good to work for because you knew where you stood with him. He had his rules, and he ran a great business."
Miller spent 22 years in the ring. He was 45 when he had his last match with Abe Jacobs at the Charlotte Coliseum. But his wrestling career would last another decade as he joined the office end of Crockett Promotions after retiring from the ring.
"George Scott was the booker at the time, so I went in and helped George with paperwork and stuff like that," says Miller, who also handled the TV tapings in Raleigh.
"George would just hand me the sheet and tell me to run the show," said Miller.
Miller, who moved to Florida in 1985, also spent eight years helping promote Crockett shows in the Greenville-Spartanburg area and working with Henry Marcus in Charleston and Columbia.
"Henry Marcus was quite a character," said Miller. "I spent a lot of time with Henry. He was from the old school. We had our disagreements at times, but we got along fine."
Miller worked for the Tampa Electric power company after he retired from wrestling. He spent 11 years with the company.
"It was pretty interesting for me because I had been in wrestling for 34 years and didn't know anything else. It was a smart move on my part."
The job also offered something that wrestling never did: health care benefits and life insurance. "In wrestling, being self-employed, you don't have those privileges," he said.
"I'm just enjoying retirement, and the government's taking good care of me, God bless 'em," added Miller.
He has lived in Tampa since 1985. He and other wrestlers meet about every two months at an Irish pub called O'Briens. "It's a mix of the old and new," he said.
His brother Bill graduated as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine before entering the U.S. Navy. After a highly successful pro wrestling career, Bill retired in 1974 and returned to his first love of veterinarian medicine, opening a practice in Ohio. He died in 1997 at the age of 69 shortly after finishing a workout at a gym.
Dan Miller's career took him to many parts of the globe, including most of the 50 states, Japan, Mexico, South America, Canada and Australia.
"Wrestling is what I did all my life," he said. "I often sit back and wonder to myself had I been in another business for 34 years, where would I be? At my age now, it's a good memory. I'm glad I did it. I got to see a lot of the world I would never had been able to afford to go and see myself."
Monday Night Raw will return to the North Charleston Coliseum for the first time in more than five years on June 24.
Ticket prices are $95, $50, $35, $25, $15 (plus applicable fees). Tickets are available at the North Charleston Coliseum box office, online at www.ticketmaster.com, or charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000.

what tier should I be looking at?
March 25, 2012, 11:35:18 PM »
what tier of specific LS should I be looking at?
US citizen
GPA 3.36 (upward trend last 4 semester 3.7+)
I graduated from Accounting in a top Public Latin American research University ranked 15 overall (it reached 5 overall in whole American continent once... when we had nobel prize winners etc.
now we're just going backwards).
I will include in my application my work experience which include entry level work in accounting and special work done for a reputable US university. I have also done humanitarian work (not because of LS.. I've been doing it my whole life), traveled to 25 countries and 60 cities around the world and live abroad for months.
I want to attend the best possible law school in the US and moving is not a problem. I really need to start narrowing down my possibilities in the US and if they are worth it because I can go to a local LS for free (yes for free) here where I live.
I would really like to hear suggestions.
Thanks in advance

I think your making a mistake that many 0L's do by considering U.S. News law school tiers as the most important thing. A 3.7 and 161 are probably good enough to get into low tier 1 or tier 2 schools, but at some point the tiers don't matter. Also realize U.S. News is nothing more than a for-profit, unregulated, magazine offering an opinion. The schools ranks change drastically year by year. I graduated in 2007 and my school was in the 70's when I started then went into the 90's then went into the 90's my second year out of tier 2 for my 3rd year then back to the mid 80's a year after graduation.
I will tell you nothing changed at the school when these drops and rises occured. I guess techincally it went down every year I was there so maybe I was single handedly responsible for it, but it's more realistic that nobody cares and knows about the difference between 70-80.
Location and Cost are usually more important to consider than what the tier of a school unless you are dealing with Harvard, Yale, Stanford those type of schools, which with a 3.7 & 161 are probably out of range.
I noticed you can go to school for free, which is great, but I assume you have a scholarship and if that is true you need to very careful about the conditions on them.
this article does a good job of explaining it. Essentially a school will say all you need is a 3.0 to maintain your GPA, which you assume is easy you got a 3.7 in undergard after all, which is what most law students received. However, you are not familiar with law school grading and usually only 35% of the class can maintain a 3.0 after first year. This means there is a 65% chance of losing the scholarship, because about 99% of ABA law students are smart and hard working. 100% of them are sure they will be in the top 35%, but your an accoutning major and you can see how the math works on that. So just be careful about conditions.
Reality of legal education is that realistically it is all the same. You literally take the same courses, use the same textbooks, from school to school. The prestige makes some difference in finding a job, but not as big as many think particulalry when distinguishing between low tier 1 and 2/3/4 schools. Nobody cares the location matters much more in those situations. For example University of Washington is a fine school, but New York, San Francisco, L.A, Chicago employers aren't going to reach out to Washingotn. New York already has NYU, Columbia and 5 other schools in their own backyard, and they might go out of their way for Harvard, Stanford, Yale, but not University of Washington.
The same logic applies for all of those San Francisco has Boalt and Stanford plus 5 other bay area schools. L.A. has USC and UCLA, Chicago has University of Chicago and Northwestern as well as an abundance of schools. The list goes on so if you wanted to work any of those locations you would be better of going to school in those locations. If you wanted to work in Washington then go to Washington. It really is that simple.
Good luck
Also remember I am only an anonymous internet poster as is anyone else on this board or others you may read so don't take it to seriously.

The "scholarship" I'll have if attend this Law School is irrevocable (although I may be kicked out for very poor performance). It has been earned by my parents both retired professors. They only way I would have to pay for something is if I turn 27 and I'm still in law school (very unlikely). Even then, I would only have to pay about 2k a year.
The Law School is rank #1 in the region but If I attend this school I think it would be very difficult for me to move around the US and practice law some place else if I ever want to move from here.
I have 2 options.
1. Stay where I live study and go to law school for free. I'll probably won't be able to more around the continental US.
2. Attend a respectable US law school, have more career opportunities and carry 100k of debt for a good while.
I'm starting to lean towards the first option because it seems going to respectable Law Schools in the US has only regional benefits.

In my personal anonymous internet poster opinion as someone who knows nothing about you or your situation, I would think option 1 would be more desireable. Law school tuition is outrageous and if you can get out debt free that is a huge advantage. Remember that 100k is accruring interest as well so it ends up being a lot more than that.
As for respectable schools, the reality is very few schools have national appeal. Almost all law schools outside the T-14 serve their regions, and even in T-14 land a UCLA grad is more likey to find employment in California than New York and an NYU grad is more likely to find employment in New York than UCLA.
As far as respectable schools the reality is the education is more or less the same everywhere. I have seen really good lawyers from about every law school in the country. I also was in numerous mock trial competitions during my law school career and some schools I never heard of kicked ass. While some schools I expected a lot more from weren't that impressive. The same has been true in my limited experience as a litigator. From my viewpoint success at least in litigation has a lot more to do with the person opposed to the school they went to.
However, it is a really hard decision and hopefully whatever you decide it works out for the best.

50 people gathered around me, shouting play! play! My 5 friends laughed as I picked up a generic guitar, and then I played...
I have always been a shy person at heart. Stage fright is something that I have always dealt with. I was at a party on this particular night, surrounded by simply too many people for my comfort. Someone got wind that I played guitar.
|Playing guitar around 2003
The "professional sounding" music was blaring and I was feeling just a little out of place. I was sipping on a drink, while trying to pretend that I was actually enjoying the terrible sounds of "hip for a day" pop music.
only because I was out of place - only out of pity,
and they could sense it - like lions to prey."
I don't know exactly how it started, but someone whispered that I could play guitar. The music stops. All heads turn - at first not knowing where to turn, and then someone points. At me.
*gulp*.....big time.
|Picking practice super shot!
My handful of close friends, the ONLY people that I knew here, who had dragged me here....laughed. They were already planning an exit strategy (more drinking games), because they knew that I was about to humiliate myself in front of tons of total strangers.
I was so terrified that I did the only thing I knew how to do - play guitar.
For about 2 minutes I shut out everything, totally forgetting where I was.
When I finished, I was brought back to the reality of rejection.
I looked up to see wide open eyes, not staring at me, but the guitar.
Mouths were open.
There was silence, and then some drunkard yelled "what!!!!!!", and within seconds everyone was going nuts.
- They had never heard me play before."
Its safe to say that I got a few numbers that night, and I proudly admit that I got to experience what few people ever do - I got to be a hero for a night.
The only problem after that was from that point on, where ever I went, I was only known as that "guitar shredder guy".
I was always the outcast. I never took myself seriously and yet 50 "cool" people did.
Soon afterward I had people flooding my home trying to learn from me. They wanted to know how I could play so fast, so clean and be so creative at the same time.
I admit, I was a terrible teacher in the beginning, because, again I still couldn't quite believe all of the attention.
But its been years now - I was just a kid, and I have gotten this same kind of attention again, and again, and more importantly - I have refined my teaching abilities.
Now I have friends who come to me talking about how I have made them the life of the party. I know the truth - they did it for themselves, but I guess I taught them a trick or two.
Since everyone wanted me to teach them how to play guitar just like me, I really had to start analyzing my own playing.
I sat down and made careful observations, and wrote EVERY THING down, and before you knew it I had note pads filled from corner to corner.
It wasn't much longer after this that I had organized the information, and got it to a point where I had a curriculum that I could share with people. This allowed me to teach other kids how to play guitar much quicker, and better.
Now I've taken to the net, and already have many successful students to be proud of, and I took those note pads with me. Now they are a book, and its called...
The Essential Guide To Guitar Virtuosity - The Guitar Speed Training Ebook
I've had numerous publishing companies trying to get a hold of it - I'll keep it in cyber space thank you very much! That way everyone can find it!
This is the same book that many of my past students have read. It contains all of my knowledge at that time on speed picking, technique training, and speed development, as well as my thoughts on improving the little things like hammer ons, bends, pull offs, slides and vibrato.
I think the reason that people have benefited from it so much is the fact that it isn't just a bunch of exercises (though there are well over 100). I think its because of all of the diagrams, photos, and articles on getting into the mind of a true guitar wizard.
There are 100 exercises (at least). Each one is designed to accomplish something different. Something that will improve your picking and coordination. I took the liberty of arranging them in a VERY important order for best results.
The book also contains my thoughts on writing guitar solos, improvising, taking lessons vs self-taught, musical theory and recording.
But have you ever noticed how weird some advanced guitar books can be? They're always so vague, and kind of stale. I decided that my book, The essential guide to guitar to virtuosity would need to be inspirational. There isn't a page that isn't the world's biggest pep talk. I believe in encouragement and reward.
But then after a while I thought how can I improve this? So I decided to create some little things to add to it. You can take a look at them below, and below that are ALL of the details about the book.
But first, let me tell you a little about myself - I can't believe I forgot!!
|My name is Tennyson Williams. I'm a musician and composer and I play all sorts of guitar styles. I've been playing for about 11 years now. When I first got started I wasn't too bad, but the problem was that I was spending upwards of 12 hours a day practicing cluelessly.
The reason that I was able to deliver on that night of the party was because of several hard years or practice and what I learned during that time.
I'm going to talk about some of what I learned starting now, so grab a note book and get ready!
Again, I played ok, but my goals seemed out of reach. Getting faster, mastering tricky techniques and finding a creative style was just not happening any time soon, AND my picking hand was total garbage. My syncopation was horrible, I was putting stress on BOTH hands, and it was just absolute slop! It took me years of heartache to learn what I know now, and now I'm going to share it with you.
I'll give you an example. Anyone can learn to become very professional sounding, but the difference between ordinary and excellence is AWARENESS.
A master guitar player has a VERY keen mind. They notice everything that's going on, and the things that they are monitoring you'll hear very few of them talk about.
Why is that? well I think that its because some of these things are tricky to explain. That's why I have spent the last two years seriously thinking about what needs to be taught, and its not what you might expect.
- For instance, you can play something slow and make it actually sound fast and incredible by having impecable timing and accuracy.
- You probably already knew that, but what a lot of people don't understand is how to develop that kind of timing and accuracy. It starts with the right mental understanding.
- Did you also know, that by slightly adjusting the angle of the guitar pick, you can increase your speed by 50%?
- If you didn't know that, here's something else - The tensions of each string and their gauge sizes also require just the slightest variation of that same angle, even as you are going from string to string.
- Did you know that by using a process called visual mapping, you can actually learn to solo without understanding theory, and even if you are just getting into theory - this can cut the learning time in half?
- Another tidbit - combining techniques can not only make your playing sound amazing, but cut the work load for either hand in half too!
- AND, training with odd combos of notes can take your picking hand to new heights.
- I bet you also didn't know that its possible to do pinch harmonic chords, but I'm probably starting to wear you out, so let me move onto something even more exciting.
My philosophy on mastering guitar speed and becoming the best that you can, is based on training for different scenarios.
This is EXACTLY how I trained myself to play at break-neck speeds
Learning to play fast, develop speed picking and fretting hand grace is a science, but very few guitar players actually understand this science.
If you DON'T understand this science, then keep reading - because I'm going to show YOU the secrets behind phenomenal speed development.
Remember when I said that its NOT the exercises that you are working with? - I lied!!
Here is the formula:
Mental understanding of the science + training that supports the science + Excercises that are designed for the science of speed picking.
So here is exactly what you do - I'm going to give you the answers, because I want you to be a happy and succesful guitar player - no matter what your style is.
- If you can take it upon to first educate yourself about how guitar speed ACTUALLY works..
- AND if you can commit to practicing 1 - 2 hours every day...
- And if you can be patient and NOT jump the gun at all...
- AND you can vow to try your best to honor the sciences 100% of the time

The Essential Guide To Guitar Virtuosity is not your typical guitar instructional ebook. It is not a theory book, or how to build guitar solos from scales, rather it is a guitar exercise training ebook.
1. The first 3 chapters deal with the mental preparation that is needed to make progress on the guitar.
2. Chapters 4 - 7 deal with basic groupings of notes and how the picking hand reacts to certain sets of notes. If the first 3 chapters act as a mental primer, then chapters 4 - 7 certainly act as a physical primer.
3. Chapters 8 - 9 are more elaborate and contain increasingly tougher exercises and training.
4. Chapters 10 - 12 deal with basic techniques like hammer-ons, pull offs, bends and vibrato. Most advanced guitar instructional materials fail to cover these smaller techniques, and yet they are very important for continuing on to the "true grit" material contained in the next chapters.
5. Chapters 13 - 18 deal with advanced techniques, and as many scenarios as possible are given for these techniques. Some are simple, while others may be monstrously hard.
6. Chapters 20 - 23 return to the more philosophical and mental aspects of guitar playing, and these chapters are saved for the end, because they will help you to carry your studies beyond this ebook. Finally The Essential Guide To Guitar Virtuosity is topped off with a bonus chapter entitled "Recording and the home studio", which is a basic outline of what you may need to set up a cheap home recording studio so that you may put your musical ideas into action.
Bonus #1 - The Art Of Soloing audio lecture.
A special audio lecture on the more intellectual aspects of guitar playing that can seriously unlock YOUR playing. Join me and I'll share with you my thoughts on all things musical.
Bonus #2 - 3 killer backing tracks to jam to
3 one of a kind yet simple backing tracks that you can apply what you learn to. I've always believed that yee who jams - succeeds! use these to better your improvising skills, which you'll learn a little about in the audio lecture.
Bonus #3 - The practice cheat sheet
This POWERFUL practice cheat sheet is exactly how a guitar player sets and keeps track of their goals. Let me take the guess work out for you by providing you with a solid journal for everyday practice. Its simple yet necessary - you will be amazed when you look back over the results.
Bonus #4 - The fretting hand manual
This is designed to be worked with everyday. Its a set of exercises that you can either pick and choose from OR work with them from start to finish everyday (recommended for best results). These are high-result, no B.S. left hand exercises that are geared for results.
The best part about all of this is that you don't have to twiddle your thumbs as you wait for shipping. This book is a direct download, which means that you buy it, you get it INSTANTLY and can start blazing through those licks right now! how cool is that?!
That's right, if you aren't completly satisfied with The Essential Guide To Guitar Virtuosity, you can get a full refund within 60 days of your purchase.

1910: A Benchmark Year For Laurens
The year 1910 was a pivotal and notable one in the history of Laurens County. That year ended the first decade of the 20th Century and Laurens County's growth to become one of the state's top six counties in population. In the previous 20 years, the county's population nearly tripled and increased five times since the end of the Civil War.
The county and its seat of Dublin were often the sites of state conventions and gatherings. One of those meetings, the Laymen's Missionary and Christian Worker's Conference, billed as the greatest meeting ever held in Dublin, was held in Dublin during the week of March 15-20, and featured Methodist bishops, W.N. Ainsworth and Warren A. Candler, along with ministers from Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio and Illinois.
The Elks Lodge in the city was established on the third floor in the western part of the Brantley Building at the corner of W. Jackson and N. Lawrence Streets. The Elks, led by Exhalted Ruler Thomas R. Ramsay, built rooms for a lodge, billiards, and reading along with a parlor.
The year marked the premier issue of the Laurens County Herald, which in three years would merge with the Dublin Courier as the city's main newspaper.
In the spring, the City of Dublin enjoyed one of the biggest building booms in its history, with more than a third of a million dollars in new buildings in the first three months of the year alone. Among the largest projects was Izzie Bashinski's construction of the five-story Consolidated Phosphate Company. The year also saw major additions to the Methodist Church and the construction of the Catholic Church. Financier A.W. Garrett, built one of the last grand houses on Bellevue Avenue. The New Dublin Hotel, the city's largest, underwent a major expansion and improvements to its existing facilities.
Among the big shows of the year was the appearance of Howe's Great London Circus, one of the country's largest and most popular traveling circuses. Eugene Laurant, one of the country's greatest magicians performed for the Lyceum Course at the Opera House.
Mrs. John M. Stubbs, Mrs. Attys P. Hilton and Lilly Hightower led the formation of the Women's Civic Improvement Club. That same month of March, the wives of the Masons formed the Order of the Eastern Star.
The emergence of the automobile, especially driving them at high speeds became a popular pastime among the wealthier men of the city. The events drew spectators of all economic statuses across the county.
The Farmers and Merchants Bank was established in Brewton by James L. Keen, J.W. Jones, H.T. Bush, F.C. Brantley, B.F. Maddox, F.H. Brantley, N.W. Josey, J.M. Lovett, I.E. Thigpen, O.D. Cobb, J.H. Curl of Brewton, Ga; E.B. Jones of Dublin, Ga; and R.M. Holmes of Scott, Ga.
The Earth passed through Halley's Comet with no damage except some interruption of telegraphic communications. There were a few sunspots and meteors, but not the expected cataclysms.
The funds for the construction of the Federal Courthouse and Post Office were appropriated. The project would take two years to complete.
A new charter for the City of Dublin was adopted the state legislature. Among the notable provisions of the bill were the designation of councilmen as alderman and the moving of the city limits of Dublin to the high water mark on the eastern bank of the Oconee River.
Improvements to the infrastructure of cities and towns throughout the county were hastily being made. In Dublin, Southern Bell, the dominate leader in telephone service, still in its infancy, was making major improvements to its lines and equipment. The City began the use of coal instead of wood to burn for power at the light and water plant. By the end of the year, the city stopped the practice of selling light bulbs to its customers.
Six companies of Laurens County Confederate veterans (50 men) and one company of other veterans (102 men) formed at the courthouse. Judge John H. Martin of Hawkinsville was named Colonel of the Brigade. W.C. Davis was elected Chief of Staff. Hardy Smith commanded the Laurens County Companies and L.A. Matthews the Miscellaneous company. The Dublin Band led the parade down Jackson Street to Church Street and then to the pavilion in Stubbs Park. Major T.D. Smith organized the event.
Doctors H.T. and C.A. Hodges opened a sanitarium, the city's first true hospital, in the J.E. Smith, Jr. house on the corner of Franklin and Columbia Streets.
A bond election was held in December. Voters overwhelmingly approved the issue by a vote of 311-4 for $25,000 for the light and water plant and $5,000 for paving Madison from Lawrence to Franklin Street.
Thomas E. Watson spoke to a large crowd at the Opera House on November 4. Watson, a perennial Populist presidential contender, spoke on the need for better moral and spiritual attitudes. He also spoke on the need for foreign missions. The Dublin Band provided the music. Mr. Watson spent the night at the home of Charles H. Kittrell (at the corner of Academy Ave. and Palmer Streets).
The shooting incident with John, Tal, and Claud Thigpen being killed by Rockledge Marshal Ras Raffield rocked the sleepy county-line community for generations to come.
As I end my fourteenth year of writing Pieces Of Our Past, I want to thank all of you for your interest in the stories I bring to you each week. I encourage you to study your own past and write it down. No one's heritage is more important than any one else. I also encourage you to remember the words of writer David McCullough, who said, "If you think about it, no one ever lived in the past, they lived in the present." Our most important history is yet to be written. It is up to all of us how that history will be written. Let us all use the past as a guide to mold our present into our greatest history, the history of the future.

I have never heard screams and yelling like it in my life. I actually thought something terrible was happening to her and went to see what was wrong. It happens about 3 or 4 times a night and the whole house is awake. I have left the radio on for her, put my fleece in her bed, not went to her when she's crying but nothing is helping. I put her to bed for periods during the day just to get her used to time on her own, I don't make a fuss when I leave her and don't fuss when I go back to her. I don't know what else to do. What an I doing wrong ????

BRISTOL, Conn., Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Police in Connecticut said the search of a pond turned up no new evidence in the investigation into accused killer Aaron Hernandez.
Investigators didn't say what they were searching for in Pine Lake in Bristol, Conn., but officials previously told CNN they were looking for the .45-caliber handgun they suspect Hernandez used to kill Odin Lloyd June 17.
"No evidence was recovered and, at the present time, no more dives are planned," Lt. Kevin Morrell said Tuesday.
Investigators began searching a small retention pond across the street from Pine Like Tuesday, CNN said.
Hernandez, a rising star for the New England Patriots, is charged with killing Lloyd in a personal dispute.

Utah State University Athletics Announces $1.5 Million Gift
Friday, Jun. 07, 2013
Utah State University Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Barnes announced a gift of $1.3 million from Blake Kirby, Chairman of the Board of Inovar, Inc., for the naming of Kirby Court inside USU's new Wayne Estes Center as well as an additional $200,000 to help support the Merlin Olsen Fund for Football Competitive Excellence. The announcement was made June 7.
Kirby, who is a 1991 Utah State University alumnus, is a member of the National Advisory Board for Aggie Athletics as well as USU's Foundation Board. Kirby founded Inovar, Inc. and was its chief executive officer from 1999 to 2012. Inovar is the largest electronics manufacturing company in the Rocky Mountain Region, providing design and manufacturing services to aerospace, medical, communications and industrial markets.
"I am fortunate to have a family with deep roots at Utah State University and have been an avid Aggie fan as long as I can remember," said Kirby. "We appreciate the vision and hard work of the administrative leadership, coaches and student-athletes at USU, and are grateful to participate in providing resources that enable them to compete at the highest level in the Mountain West Conference."
The Wayne Estes Center is a $9.5 million, 32,000 square-foot state-of-the-art basketball practice facility and volleyball competition venue that was anchored by a $5.25 million lead gift from Jim and Carol Laub. It is expected to open in April of 2014.
All funding for the Wayne Estes Center came from private donations.
"We are very grateful for Blake's generous gift," said Barnes. "Blake has been entrenched in supporting Aggie Athletics for most of his life as a fan, volunteer and donor. It would be hard to find anyone more passionate. His commitment is critical in further assisting fund raising efforts for the Wayne Estes Center and continuing the success of the Merlin Olsen Fund. Both are important priorities as we transition into the Mountain West Conference."
The Wayne Estes Center will be located just to the west of the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum where the current Harris Athletics Center sits. The facility will contain a regulation size competition court with chair back seating for 1,400 fans, along with a training room and in-season strength and conditioning area. Office space for both men's and women's basketball and volleyball will also be included in the new facility, as well as a locker room and film room for volleyball. Ticketing and concession services will also be available on game days.
Located inside the foyer of the Wayne Estes Center will be a visual tribute of the building's namesake.
The project is the latest in a series of recent athletic facility improvements at Utah State. In 2008, construction was completed on the 69,000 square foot Jim and Carol Laub Athletics-Academics Complex. In 2009, USU opened the Steve Mothersell Athletics Hall of Honor as well as its new off-court basketball facilities, which include the Nate and Heather Wickizer men's basketball and MerLynn Pitcher women's basketball locker rooms. In 2010, USU opened the Dr. Randall and Julianne Stockham Student-Athlete Academic Hall of Honor. In 2011, a new synthetic turf was installed in the Stan Laub Indoor Training Center, while new AstroTurf was installed on Merlin Olsen Field inside Romney Stadium in 2012. And in 2013, USU will complete construction on its new 26,000 square foot strength and conditioning center and install south end zone seating at Romney Stadium.
For more information on the Wayne Estes Center or to pledge a gift, contact the USU Athletics Department at (435) 797-1850.
What Select Utah State Coaches Are Saying About the new Wayne Estes Center
Stew Morrill, Utah State Head Men's Basketball Coach
"This facility is very important for multiple sports at Utah State. For men's basketball, it is a much-needed facility to accommodate our program going forward in the Mountain West Conference. It gives us greater flexibility in developing our players thru both regular practice as well as individual workouts. In addition, we will be adding office space that we have desperately needed. Both from a playing a recruiting standpoint, this is a great upgrade for Utah State Basketball."
Jerry Finkbeiner, Utah State Head Women's Basketball Coach
"I am very excited about the basketball practice facility/volleyball competition site for what it brings to our recruiting and for what it brings to our logistical challenges with practices times. Upon accepting the job last year, one of the keys that I saw in the growth of women's basketball at Utah State is the facility growth and what it means in all areas of building a program."
Grayson DuBose, Utah State Head Women's Volleyball Coach
"We are very excited for our program to have this amazing facility and it will definitely help with the growth of our volleyball team. Recruits want to see that you are moving forward as a program and this will go a long way to show them and their families that Utah State is committed to having a first- class athletics program."

University of Iowa News Release
March 31, 2009
Henry Fund wins stock portfolio competition again
For the fourth consecutive year the Tippie College of Business' Henry Fund student investment portfolio was named best in its class at a national conference last weekend.
"It is remarkable to win the competition in such a negative market in spite of the fund remaining nearly 100 percent invested in stocks throughout all of last year," said Todd Houge, assistant professor of finance in the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business and faculty advisor to the Henry Fund.
Houge describes the fund's investment philosophy and some of its winning stocks here: http://tippie.uiowa.edu/news/media/Houge-Henry%20Fund.m4v.
The fund, managed by students in the Tippie MBA finance program, won first place in the large-cap growth fund at the Redefining Investment Strategy Education (RISE) conference, sponsored by the University of Dayton. The fund posted a risk-adjusted return of -.6 percent, which meant that the portfolio fared just .6 percent poorer than the S&P 500 Index.
The Henry Fund has won its class ever year since it started entering the competition in 2005.
Houge said the experience of investing in such a vicious market has re-shaped in many ways how the students perceive market risk.
"Witnessing firsthand such a severe economic and market downturn over the last year has definitely influenced our perception of risk and the market in general," he said. "I believe our analysts have become more critical of historical performance and caused them to look with greater scrutiny at corporate financial statements. In general, students are more attuned to economic data than ever before, because the health of the global economy directly impacts the strength of the job market."
RISE is the largest student investment education conference in the world. Approximately 1,700 students and 500 financial professionals from across the United States and around the world attended the event, which included open forum panel discussions from 75 different investment, regulatory and economic professionals.
The Henry Fund is named for the two UI benefactors who provided a portion of the initial $50,000 in capital. Henry Tippie is a 1949 UI graduate who owns several companies and has provided many gifts to the UI business school that now bears his name. Henry Royer is the former chairman and CEO of Firstar Bank in Cedar Rapids and executive vice president of Berthel Fisher & Co. of Cedar Rapids.
Income from the fund is used to support scholarships for first- and second-year MBA students, guest speakers, and educational travel opportunities for students. Contributions from other supporters are welcome to increase the size of the Henry Fund. Private gifts for the fund are accepted by the UI Foundation and can be made online at http://www.GiveToIowa.org/henry.

Major stock exchanges include the
Shanghai Stock Exchange
Singapore Exchange
Hong Kong Stock Exchange
and NASDAQ (the USA), the London Stock Exchange (UK), the PISTON Multi Strap Western Heeled Sandals Black Asos dyy1uJ8
(Japan), and Bombay Stock Exchange (India). Most countries with capital markets have at least one.
Businesses that have gone public are subject to regulations concerning their internal governance, such as how executive officers' compensation is determined, and when and how information is disclosed to shareholders and to the public. In the United States, these regulations are primarily implemented and enforced by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Other western nations have comparable regulatory bodies. The regulations are implemented and enforced by the China Securities Regulation Commission (CSRC) in China. In Singapore, the regulatory authority is the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and in Hong Kong, it is the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC).
The proliferation and increasing complexity of the laws governing business have forced increasing specialization in corporate law. It is not unheard of for certain kinds of corporate transactions to require a team of five to ten attorneys due to sprawling regulation. Commercial law spans general corporate law, employment and labor law, health-care law, securities law, mergers and acquisitions, tax law, employee benefit plans, food and drug regulation, intellectual property law on copyrights, patents, trademarks, telecommunications law, and financing.
Other types of capital sourcing include crowdsourcing on the Internet, venture capital, bank loans, and debentures.
Businesses often have important "
intellectual property
" that needs protection from competitors for the company to stay profitable. This could require
classic lowtop sneakers White Högl ZTaXWKSKd
, Vando 02 Womens Ankle Boots Gerry Weber YCOyG1535
, trademarks , or preservation of trade secrets . Most businesses have names, logos, and similar branding techniques that could benefit from trademarking. Patents and copyrights in the United States are largely governed by federal law, while trade secrets and trademarking are mostly a matter of state law. Because of the nature of intellectual property, a business needs protection in every jurisdiction in which they are concerned about competitors. Many countries are signatories to international treaties concerning intellectual property, and thus companies registered in these countries are subject to national laws bound by these treaties. In order to protect trade secrets, companies may require employees to sign noncompete clauses which will impose limitations on an employee's interactions with stakeholders, and competitors.

Inspiration in Keene: Teens helping others
A week before Christmas, a group of teenagers in Keene was out at the mall spending money - on total strangers. For an inspiring story amid all of the painful news this Christmas season, keep reading.
If you want to see examples of teenagers doing things they should not do, you can open the newspaper on any day of the week. If you want to see good kids doing the right thing, you can always have a look around at the Keene Pumpkin Festival. Among the volunteers donating time and labor to make the festival a success are many students, including the Keene High School Interact Club, the high-school version of the local Rotary Club. They dedicate themselves to charitable service, which they do by volunteering and raising money.
For their work at the pumpkin festival this year, the Interact Club was awarded $5,000 of the $29,381 Discover Card donated to educational causes for the event ($1 for each pumpkin). The club members immediately gave the money away to another school group, the React Club, which helps disabled students at the school.
So what were they doing at the mall? They were buying Christmas presents for children. They had some money to spend. The club has raised at least $50,000 a year in each of the last six years.
Nice, you might say, but how much does the behavior of this one, little club really say about high school kids? It says a lot. The club is so popular that it has to cap enrollment at 100 members. The waiting list is 300 students long. Keene High School has a little more than 1,500 students, which means that more than 26 percent of the entire student body wants into this club, where giving to others is the goal. That is truly inspiring.

BOSTON (AP) — Investors are worried about the slow pace of U.S. economic growth, but we're just one player in the international arena. To assess the global outlook, two numbers are critical: China's gross domestic product and Japan's inflation rate.
They're important because China and Japan are the world's second- and third-largest economies, and both are faltering. The outlooks in both countries could continue to have a big impact on stocks around the world as Chinese and Japanese policymakers try to stimulate their economies.
Mutual fund manager Kenneth Lowe acknowledges that China's growth and Japan's inflation are key numbers to watch. But he's taking a deeper look. As the co-manager of 5 star-rated Matthews Asian Growth & Income (MACSX) he knows that stimulus measures can juice an economy in the short term. But quarterly GDP or inflation figures don't reveal much about the long-term outlook.
In Japan, for example, "We don't just need a change in attitude when it comes to inflation and monetary policy," Lowe says. "Structural reforms are needed to create sustainable growth."
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is trying to break a long bout of deflation by getting prices on an upward track. The government has targeted a 2 percent inflation rate, a far cry from the latest reported rate of 0.9 percent deflation.
Abe's monetary stimulus campaign has fueled a market rally and Japan's main stock index has climbed to nearly a 5-year high. Mutual funds specializing in Japanese stocks have returned 27 percent this year, on average, more than double the next-best international fund category, according to Morningstar.
The challenge is much different for the political leaders who recently came to power in China, led by President Xi Jinping. The Chinese economy continues to grow, but at its slowest pace since emerging from the 2008 global financial crisis. GDP — the economy's total output of goods and services — expanded at a 7.7 percent annual rate in the first three months of this year. Although that's far above the U.S. growth rate, it's down from the previous quarter's 7.9 percent, and a sharp pullback from the double-digit rates of the past decade. Recent data have been mixed, raising doubts about China's ability to climb out of its slump.
Lowe, a longtime Asian investing specialist who's also lead manager of the newly launched Matthews Asia Focus fund (MAFSX), discussed his outlook in an interview this week:
Q: What's your take on Japan's massive stimulus program?
A: It's aggressive not just in terms of rhetoric, but in action. That's something we haven't seen in Japan during two decades of economic stagnation.
Q: Are there key issues that the program doesn't address?
A: The need for fundamental economic reform, which is arguably more important than monetary and fiscal changes. Japan's economic weakness has been in large part due to demographics, with its shrinking working-age population. That challenge will remain, so it's very important for Japan to take steps to make it easier to do business, both domestically and with trading partners. For example, Japan could encourage a trans-Pacific partnership with the rest of Asia and the U.S. to make it easier to do cross-border trading. But we don't have much clarity on what reforms will be made in Japan.
Q: What are some other steps Japan could take?
A: There needs to be a shift in the mentality of the Japanese consumer to encourage greater spending, and wages need to rise to help bring that about. We've recently had a couple instances where companies increased wages around 2 percent. That's a lot higher than we've seen historically in Japan. But it's difficult to say whether it will be sustainable, and whether other companies will increase wages. So we don't yet see inflation working its way throughout Japan's economy.
Q: Is Japan's goal of a 2 percent inflation rate within two years attainable?
A: It's an aspirational target. But even if it isn't reached, anything is better than deflation. It they get halfway there, to 1 percent, and there's a change in inflation expectations, it would be positive for the economy.
Q: As a fund manager, how has this year's Japanese stock market rally affected how you invest there?
A: The run-up may be difficult to justify in some segments of the market. We're trying to avoid areas where we're not seeing positive structural changes. We analyze stocks of individual companies on a bottoms-up basis, and we're investing for the long term. So we don't need to buy into aggressive rallies. But if we see opportunities with specific Japanese companies, we'll try to participate.
Q: Now to your thoughts on China. Do your growth expectations there affect your investment approach?
A: They don't, really. Historically, high growth rates in China haven't necessarily resulted in strong investment returns, and that's not specific just to China. But there can be good opportunities, even if economic growth slows to 6 percent. The medium- and long-term market outlooks could improve significantly if China can rebalance its economy. The key is to reshape the economy so that it's based more on domestic consumption and less on exports and infrastructure.
Q: Would such a shift hurt China's manufacturing sector, which generates so much export activity?
A: The low-wage manufacturing sector may suffer, but China will make up for that loss in other areas where there's greater economic potential, and where wages are higher. That will help fuel greater consumption by consumers, which China needs. It's not just the obvious stuff like food, but segments like leisure and travel, and life insurance. There is a host of investment opportunities in China based around the domestic economy that most people dismiss. That's because they're focused on China's infrastructure growth in areas like real estate development and highway and rail construction.
Q: What's another key challenge for China?
A: In the early days of China's new political leadership, we've seen plans for a fairly aggressive crackdown on corruption. They need to continue on that path, and they also need to make it easier for private enterprises to do business. That will require cutting red tape and improving access to financing.

President's Commentary (Winter 2004)
By Jim Nelson
Announcer, Vol. 34, Iss. 4
What Is Science?
Recently I was asked, "What is the scientific method?" As the thermal energy in my feet fled, I realized I didn't have the clean answer that my inquisitor expected. After rambling around for a while I presented the following model as a representation of "science."
Science is one way of trying to make sense out of the world that we experience. Clearly it is not the only way. For example religion, philosophy, traditions, art, etc., are other ways that people make sense of the world.
Collection of Facts:
Once we understand the theory, we are able to forget many of the facts. The individual facts can be reasoned out using the theory. Clearly these facts and the theories that tie them into patterns is one aspect of what we mean by science.
In the diagram below this is portrayed as the left extreme of a spectrum.
Process for Uncovering the Facts:
One of these attributes about the process of science is that anyone can do it. One difference between magic and science is related to this "anyone" principle. In magic the goal is to have a limited number of people who have access to how it is done. The opposite is true of science. One of the aspects of science is to make it possible for anyone to challenge the facts and theories or to verify the observations. In short, science tries to make it possible for anyone to know how it is done. This view of science is very important to a democratic society that depends on an educated population. Too much education is the enemy of the dictator.
Another aspect of science as a process is a belief in reproducibility. If I make an observation and then you make an observation under the same conditions now or at any time, the results will be the same. If the results are not the same, then science suggests that the conditions were not the same. In short, science as a process suggests that the same cause will produce the same effect. Since we know that cause and effect is based on probabilities, sometimes we have to make many observations to find the general rule underlying phenomena.
Questioning the Facts:
Here we have an example of "not-science" at both ends of the above spectrum. Not only was the factual answer wrong, but also the process of science was missing. My take on the quantum theory makes it impossible to specify the size of an isolated atom. Considering the bond lengths of various molecules that contain that atom permits us to approximate a value that is taken as the atom's radius. In any case it is difficult to compare the size of an isolated atom and that same atom in a molecule.
As to where the word "element" should appear in this, I have not a clue. An element is a substance, which contains only one kind of atom, and thus it can be as small as an atom to something large enough to see. I am distressed that the author of the book question not only had the facts wrong, but also did not have enough scientific literacy to doubt the simple answer the book presented.
I know I have made many mistakes like this in my career, but in my teaching this year, I hope that both my students and I will grow in not only the facts of science, but also in our ability to use a scientific process in and out of school.

Carbon Neutral
Free Shipping
By Dr. Jean Hofve
The holiday season, while a happy time for most
people, can be a stressful and even dangerous time for pets.
Their routines are upset, visitors abound, and extra-tempting
smells are coming from the kitchen!
Sharing is one of the most beloved aspects of the
holidays, and it's fine to share some turkey and other
goodies with your pets. However, the caution about feeding
"scraps" remains in effect - do not give your cat or dog any
dinner discards, like turkey or ham bones, or fatty items
like turkey skin. These can cause serious tummy upset; in
dogs especially, too much fat can trigger life-threatening
pancreatitis. Ask dinner guests to refrain from feeding
"under the table" - or better still, keep pets safely confined
during the festivities. Chocolate, of course, is toxic to
both dogs and cats - they're safer with
treats than sweets! After dinner, be sure the garbage is
secure from any sneaky paws that may come prowling after the
rest of the family is asleep!
The holiday season can be very stressful for our pets.
Natural remedies, like flower essences for anxiety, herbs for stress, and
homeopathy for stress, can help cope with the increased hustle and
bustle. Help your pet handle the visitors and excitement of
the holidays with
SpiritEssence Holiday Stress Stopper,
HomeoPet Anxiety remedy,
Only Natural Pet Just Relax Flower Essences, or
Only Natural Pet Relaxi-Herb Herbal Formula.
A Christmas tree may be irresistibly tempting to explore
or even climb, so if you have one, make sure it's in a sturdy stand,
and if necessary, secure it with twine or wire to keep it
from falling. Do keep your pets away from the water in the
stand, which can contain toxic tree sap and other chemicals.
Use a "tree skirt," or wrap a towel, sheet, or other barrier
around the base of the tree and stand and tape it securely,
or otherwise make the area inaccessible to your furry
Keep glass ornaments to a minimum if you must use them at
all, and place them higher on the tree, with unbreakable
ornaments lower down. A broken glass ornament is a minefield
for tender little paws. If a pet eats all or part of a glass
ornament, immediately feed cotton balls or bread soaked in
milk or cream; the soft material will gather up all the
sharp pieces and guide them safely through the digestive
system and out the other end! Keep other small or breakable
holiday decorations out of reach.
Lights and wires on the tree and around the home pose an
invitation to chew for both cats and dogs. Make sure all wiring
is in good condition. For wires that are easily accessible
to curious mouths (especially young animals or those that
like to chew things), run the wires through inexpensive foam
pipe insulators (available at any home improvement or
hardware store). Of course, never leave the lights on
overnight or when you aren't home to supervise; many house
fires have started that way!
Metal tinsel is rare these days, but Mylar garland and
decorations can also pose
a hazard if swallowed. Its sharp edges can cause serious
damage to a pet's intestines. If your pet is young, or likes
to chew on ribbons, garland and such, consider beaded garland
instead. Also, when unwrapping presents, make sure all
ribbon and string is safely disposed of - these can also be
hazardous to pets if ingested.
Parties and visitors increase the risk of a cat slipping
out through an open door; make sure all your pets are
micro-chipped and wearing collars and ID tags. (If your pet
needs a new collar this holiday season, check out our
stylish selection!) If possible, provide a "base camp"
for your pet that includes food, water, bed, scratching
post, and litter box, in a room that's less likely to be
disturbed. No decorations in that room, please, especially
lit candles! (Of course, unattended burning candles are a
serious hazard any time of year!) To make base camp even
more comforting to your pet, spray
Only Natural Pet Phero-Soothe around the room, or put a
dropper full of
flower essences in a spray bottle filled with
spring water, and spritz the area.
A little extra care and attention will make this holiday
season a safe and joyous one for the whole family!

Pomegranates are picked ripe. Select the heaviest one you can find, because weight is a sign of juiciness. You can also use a pomegranate molasses substitute, found at Middle Eastern markets.
1 cup pomegranate juice
1⁄4 cup sugar
1⁄3 cup olive oil
1 med. eggplant, peeled and diced
1 med. red onion, chopped
2 tbsp. minced garlic
1 cup tomato juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 fresh pomegranate
1⁄4 cup chopped fresh mint
Mint sprigs, optional
1. Combine pomegranate juice and sugar in saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, 20 min., until reduced to 1⁄3 cup syrup.
2. Sauté eggplant in hot oil 5-7 min., until seared and soft. Reduce heat; add onion and garlic; sauté, 4 min.
3. Stir in tomato juice and pomegranate syrup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 min., stirring. Remove from heat; add salt and pepper.
4. Score pomegranate and place in bowl of water. Break open to free the arils (edible juice sacks and seeds inside). Sieve arils and measure 1⁄2 cup.
5. Stir arils and mint into eggplant. Garnish with mint. Pairs well with grilled lamb.
