And, I guess we are just going to have to say I am DNA cursed!!!
In the summer of 2012, I had my husband do the Family Finder DNA test through Family Tree DNA. I had one purpose in mind...to once and for all solve the mystery of his James K. Isett (1813-1863) family tree. Well, he had 190 distant "cousin" matches, and a few closer matches, but all we did was prove he had no close matches to any other Isett names that have already been tested. This more or less proves that he does not belong to any of the well established Isett lines through Frederick and Barbara Isett, the immigrants, and their two known sons Jacob Isett (b. abt. 1725 and died before 1790) and Frederick Isett (1730-1803). However, interestingly, he did match a person who has ties to these Isett lines through marriage.
In my heart, I still suspect my husband's ancestor was adopted, or was the product of a "non-paternal" event of some sort. It will be interesting to see what happens as more people are eventually tested. For anyone with an interest, my husband's kit number is 250393.
In the spring of 2013, I tested my father's DNA using the Y-DNA 37 test in hopes of taking my Fisher line further back in time than my 3X great grandfather, Henry Fisher (abt. 1796 - 1876). I started off believing he would test into a Berks County, PA line, but with further research and while waiting on the results, I suspected this would not be the case. I did not disappoint myself...my dad did not match any other tested line!
At 12 markers, he matched 2,513 people. Of those, 24 of his matches still bore the last name of Fisher or Fischer. At 25 markers, he had 44 matches. None of these matces still carry the last name of Fisher/Fischer. Most of his matches at the 25 marker level bear the name Vance or Bowman. At 37 markers, he had 0 matches!
So, what does this mean? Either no one else from his direct line has been tested yet, or else there was an adoption or another "non-paternal" event that took place back when. If you would like to look at his results, he is kit number 281525.
In both cases with my husband and my dad, it is like James K. Isett and Henry Fisher were just dropped from the sky into the Woodcock Valley area of Huntingdon and Bedford Counties respectively. No one in the world wants to seem to claim them other than me. I think the DNA is trying to tell me just that...these are lost souls who were outcasts from whatever family they supposedly belonged to.
My hope is that as DNA testing continues to evolve that more and more people will be tested and that perhaps some day there will be a match to my husband and my father.
Please understand that even though I feel I am DNA cursed, I still support DNA testing. I have one genealogy friend who has broken down many brick walls through DNA testing in her family research. I believe DNA testing is a valuable genealogical tool. At the same time, I do want to warn others to be ready for the unexpected and be prepared to accept it if it does happen. It is what it is. They are still your family members no matter what the past reveals.
Family Tree DNA has lowered the price of their entry level Y-DNA 12 kit to just $49. The recommended minimum level of testing is Y-DNA 37, but you can start with the lower priced kit and upgrade at any time as your finances allow and as sales are posted. The Family Finder test is also a wonderful way to go if you want to look at all of your maternal and paternal lines and find other cousins who are also researching their families. Family Tree DNA just announced that they are going to offer sale prices more frequently as their lab gets caught up on processing results in order to encourage more testing and make the prices more affordable to genealogists.
There are other DNA testing companies and opportunities available too. I have only used Family Tree DNA. If you have already tested through another company or choose to use a different testing facility, you can share your results at ysearch, which allows a platform for everyone to post their results and compare them to others who have been tested through any company. You can only post Y-DNA test results. My dad is listed as user 65YXD.
DNA testing is a whole other aspect to genealogical research. I may feel cursed at the moment, but I am still optimistic that answers will be revealed in time and with patience and continued research.

Erna Mae Yeagley
Erna Mae Yeagley, 94, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2013. She was born May 24, 1919, in Satanta, Kan.
She is predeceased by her parents, Ray and Mary (Wolf) Swink and her sisters, Pauline and Ragene. She graduated from Wichita North High School in 1936 and married her classmate, Harold Priddle.
She is survived by one sister, Elizabeth Stephens of Wichita; and three children, Janet Bryant of Marion, Laurence Priddle and wife, Donna, of Smithville, Mo., and Susan Yeagley Sullivan and husband, Ron, of Tucson, Ariz.
Also surviving are seven grandchildren, Stephen Bryant of Peabody; Ann Carr and Jan Helmer of Marion; Doug Priddle of Kansas City, Mo.; Darrel Priddle of Nixa, Mo.; Traci Klasing Williams of Memphis, Tenn.; and Rebecca McGranahan of Long Beach, Calif.; as well as 11 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great-grandchild.
Erna Mae came to the Marion area in the late 1940s when she worked for and then married James E. Yeagley. They bought a farm northwest of Marion in 1952 after the devastating flood in the Marion valley inundated their west-side house with water and mud. She managed the farm and the Marion Rendering Company with Jim until his death in 1968, after which she was helped by her son-in-law, Ray Bryant, and then proceeded to have other adventures, always returning to her home in Marion.
She will be remembered for the care of her family and dedication to community service. She served in the Christian Service Corps at a home for the mentally disabled in Pennsylvania after discovering that the Peace Corps was not for those who wished to express their Christian beliefs.
She volunteered her time to the Marion Food Bank, the Valley United Methodist Church, and numerous civic organizations. She donated approximately 240 pints (30 gallons) of blood and read the Bible from cover to cover every year for at least 20 years.
She will also be remembered for her stylish dressing — the matching hat, gloves, purse, high heels and, of course, jewelry. Many in Marion were thankful for her sewing skills as she altered their garments and sewed new gowns, suits, and other apparel.
Her first airplane trip, after the Peace Corps, was to visit the Holy Land, and then she traveled the world, visiting all 50 states, most of the Canadian provinces, and all the continents except Antarctica.
Erna Mae gifted her body to research at University of Kansas Medical Center. A memorial fund has been established at Valley United Methodist Church, 300 Santa Fe St., Marion, where she was a member for 56 years. The family plans a celebration of life service at a later date.

This Week in Golf -- May 30-June 2
Philadelphia, PA – PGA TOUR - THE MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT, Muirfield Village Golf Club, Dublin, Ohio - Tiger Woods birdied three of his last four holes, including a memorable 50-foot chip shot at the 16th, last year to capture his 73rd win overall and tie Jack Nicklaus' career mark at his own event.
The late flurry allowed Woods to overcome a 4-stroke deficit at the beginning of the day en route to a 2-stroke victory over Rory Sabbatini and Andres Romero.
It was Woods' second win at this tournament in the last four years and fifth career title at the Memorial.
This year, Woods returns to the event coming off his fourth win already this season at The Players Championship three weeks ago. He will try to keep his red-hot season going by defending his title against a field that consists of 17 of the top 25 players in the world rankings.
Chinese teenager Tianlang Guan will return to the field this week on a special invitation after missing his first cut in three appearances on the PGA Tour at the Byron Nelson Championship.
Golf Channel has coverage the first two days and early on the weekend before handing off to CBS for Saturday's and Sunday's afternoon coverage.
The PGA Tour heads to Tennessee next week for the St. Jude Classic, where Dustin Johnson birdied two of his final three holes last year to take a 1- stroke victory over John Merrick.
NORDEA MASTERS, Bro Hof Slott Golf Course, Stockholm, Sweden - Lee Westwood was the lone member of the field to post four rounds in the 60s last year as he cruised to a 5-stroke victory and his 22nd European Tour title.
Westwood entered the final day of the tournament with a 3-stroke lead and his cushion never fell below two throughout the final round.
He will not be in the field this week to defend his title, though, as he will be participating at the Memorial with the PGA Tour.
Last year's second-place finisher Ross Fisher will return this year, as will last week's winner Matteo Manassero.
Golf Channel has full coverage of the action this week.
The European Tour heads to Austria next week for the Lyoness Open, where Bernd Wiesberger overcame a 4-stroke lead in the final round to capture his second career victory.
PRICIPAL CHARITY CLASSIC, Wakonda Club, Des Moines, Iowa - Jay Haas carded a 5-under 66 during his final round last year to finish the tournament with a record-tying 16-under par 197 and earn his 16th Champions Tour title.
The mark gave him a 5-stroke victory over Kirk Triplett and Larry Mize despite Triplett's course record 9-under 62 on the final day.
It was Haas' third victory in six years at this event and he will be returning this week to defend his title.
Golf Channel will have coverage of all three rounds.
The Champions Tour moves to Alabama next week for the Champions Tour's second major of the season, the Regions Tradition, where Tom Lehman will seek to defend his title for the second straight year.
SHOPRITE LPGA CLASSIC, Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club, Galloway, New Jersey - Stacy Lewis carried a 6-stroke lead into the final round and cruised to her second victory in three starts at this event last year.
Lewis essentially wrapped up the win during the first two rounds, when she carded back-to-back 6-under 65s.
Every tournament winner from this season will be in the field as well.
Golf Channel will have coverage of all three rounds of this 54-hole event.
The LPGA Tour will move to New York next week for the Wegmans LPGA Championship, which is the LPGA's second major of the season. Shanshan Feng became the first golfer, male or female, from mainland China to win a major championship there last year.
MID-ATLANTIC CHAMPIONSHIP, TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, Potomac, Maryland - David Lingmerth rallied to his first career win on the Web.com Tour with a 4- under 66 during his final round last year.
He was one of just 11 players to break par in the final round and took advantage of third-round leader Josh Persons' 7-over 77 to nab the victory.
Lingmerth will not be in the field to defend his title as he has moved on to the PGA Tour.
Nine of the top 10 players on the money list will be participating in the tournament, however.
The Web.com Tour will have off next week before heading to Kansas for the Air Capital Classic, where Casey Wittenberg fired a 5-under 66 during his final round to capture his second title of the season.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Taken on their own, short films are rarely worthwhile (or meaty) enough to warrant their own DVD releases, often never getting the attention some of them deserve. Good things often come in small packages, making it no surprise that many of the most moving, exciting and intriguing films in history also happen to be only a few minutes in length. They've been recognized at the Academy Awards since 1931---only three years shy of the ceremony's history---in two separate categories: animated and live action. Though the actual name for these two awards has evolved slightly over the years, the spirit has ultimately remained the same. Regardless if you've agreed with the Academy's choices over the years, it's nice to know that this underappreciated section of the film industry gets to shine every so often. The 2005 Academy Awards were no different, boasting five nominees in each of the two "Short Film" categories.
Live action nominees included "Our Time Is Up" (Rob Pearlstein, 12 minutes), "The Runaway" (Ulrike Grote, 23 minutes), "Six Shooter" (Martin McDonagh, 27 minutes), "Cashback" (Sean Ellis, 18 minutes) and "The Last Farm" (Rúnar Rúnarsson, 17 minutes).
Animated entries included "Badgered" (Sharon Colman, 6 minutes), "The Moon and the Son" (John Canemaker, 28 minutes), "The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello" (Anthony Lucas, 27 minutes), "9" (Shane Acker, 11 minutes) and Pixar's "One Man Band" (Mark Andrews and Andrew Jimenez, 4 minutes).
All but the last two entries are included in A Collection of 2005 Academy Award Nominated Short Films from Magnolia Films; more than likely, the exclusions of "9" and "One Man Band" were due to rights issues. Either way, we're still given an entertaining mix of shorts here---including both winners, of course---which clocks in at nearly three hours total. There's a nice blend of light-hearted fare (including "Badgered" and "Cashback", the latter of which is being made into a full-length film) and darker, more dramatic efforts (including the live-action winner "Six Shooter" [above left] and "Jasper Morello" [above right]), though most of these one and two-reelers freely travel between genres. The visually interesting but otherwise meandering "The Moon and the Son" (oddly enough, a winner in the animated category [at top]) represented only a handful of duller spots in this otherwise consistent collection.
Magnolia Films' DVD presentation is a bit too straightforward for its own good, but at least it presents the films in their original formats. A lack of bonus features keeps this package from being a truly noteworthy collection, but those interested in the main features only will be more than satisfied. Let's take a closer look, shall we?
Presented in their original aspect ratios (1.33:1, 1.78:1 and 2.35:1, with anamorphic enhancement when applicable), the transfers for each short look very good overall. Though many of these films appear to have been made on shoestring budgets, you wouldn't know it by the image quality; fortunately, no major digital problems were evident either. The audio is presented in 2.0 Stereo, while the music and dialogue come through very clearly. Frustratingly, only Spanish subtitles are optional during the main features, while Closed Captioning is not available.
Despite a few nitpicks with the overall presentation, A Collection of 2005 Academy Award Nominated Short Films offers a solid amount of entertainment in one handy little package. The A/V quality is obviously the most important thing here, so it's good to know that these shorts look and sound excellent. More extras would've made this a more potent collection, but those who enjoy quality short films will find it hard to be disappointed with this one. Recommended.

Straight Gym Hunks Chris Rockway and Angelo Antonio have a hot wrestle fuck
We got two muscled out gym studs and a wrestling matt. Of course I am going to have these two get down and dirty with each other. On one side is Angelo Antonio. Beefy Italian hunk with MMA training. And in the other corner we have Chris Rockway, gay porn legend, and wrestling dynamo. Loser gets fucked. Well, it became clear pretty early on that Chris was going to make sure that he won and Angelo was pretty keen on losing. I guess that is what happens when you put a pit a power bottom and a total top against each other. Soon Chris straddles Angelo and rubs his cock in his face until it gets hard. Then Angelo sucks it. Then Chris bends down and sucks him off for some hot sixty nine action. Then Angelo turns over and offers his butt to Chris. Chris fucks him every which way until he finally fucks the cum out of Angelo. Then Chris unloads geysers of cum all over that massive chest of Angelo. I think both of these guys won in the end. Be sure to check out the HD gay porn trailer of the hot action here at Randy Blue.
Legendary Chris Rockway fucks the hell out of gay porn star Killian James
Killian James is dying. He took one look at Chris Rockway and he started to drool. Chris has been gone for a couple of months and he just cannot stay away from Randy Blue for too long. Killian excitedly told Chris that he can do whatever he wanted to him. Chris gave me a wink, as Killian did not realize what door he just opened. Chris decided to boss around this little pig bottom and make him his bitch. He demanded that Killian pull out his dick and service him. Killian cannot get enough of sucking dick and the sight of Chris unleashing his massively thick meat out of his underwear made Killian swoon. He took the whole damn thing down to the base and started to suck it nice and good. Chris moaned out and decided to show Killian that he had some dick sucking skills of his own. After some good sucking action, Chris had Killian sit right down on his cock. And what followed was a brutal power fucking which went from riding to doggie to missionary. Finally Chris fucked the cum out of Killian and then pulled out and jizzed his white hot load right onto Killian and into his mouth. Covered in cum, Killian just had a big grin on his face. This boy was happy. Be sure to check out the free gay porn trailer of this video and some of the best gay porn out there all here at Randy Blue.
The Coach 3 - Post Game Fucking
It has been five years since The Coach series has made an appearance on Randy Blue. And we have brought it back with a bang. Chris Rockway is utterly embarrassed by his wrestling team. He takes them straight from the game back to his place to get some more practicing in. However a couple of boners later, and suddenly an innocent practice session turns into a nude gay male wrestling porn. There is sucking and fucking and rimming and cum eating galore. Watch Justin play the ham in a gay porn manwich and watch Max let Justin slide deep in him while Chris Rockway unloads a fountain of cum in his mouth. Now that is how you fucking wrestle.

Chris Rockway abuses the ass of Patrick Dunne
Chris Rockway and Patrick Dunne are two of our long time performers. They were both surprised that they never had done a scene together before. They decided to make up for lost time. Clothes started to come off, and Chris went straight for those famous nipples of Patrick. Patrick got so hard from Chris worshipping his body, that he pulled his dick out and Chris started to suck it. Then Chris sat back and let Patrick chow down on his dick. All of this dick sucking made them want more. Chris bent Patrick over and rammed his cock right up Patrick. Patrick squealed out in delight. Next Patrick got down on his stomach and let Chris abuse his hole some more. Finally he flipped Patrick over and started to pound him on his back. He fucked him harder and harder until white hot cum shot out of Patrick. The sight of Patrick coming while being slammed was so hot to Chris, he pulled out of Patrick and came all over that hot hairy ass. Chris collapsed on top of Patrick and the two made out, exhausted from such a hot fuck session.
Antonio & Chris
Due to a last minute cancellation, we needed to find a new model to do a scene with Chris Rockway. Luckily, Antonio Galvan was in town, getting ready for his solo scene with us. We asked him if he would be willing to bottom for Chris Rockway. A sparkle appeared in his eyes followed by a big adorable smile. He was jumping in head first, or rather bottom first. You could tell that Antonio was nervous when they first met. And once Antonio saw that big hard dick on Chris, he started to get a little scared. He confided to me that he never had a dick that big inside of him before. But once they started kissing, all the nerves flew out the window. Chris sucked on Antonio first. His hard shaft thrust deep into Chris, hitting the back of his throat. Antonio sucked off Chris next. The shy nervous lad I saw at the beginning of the day was gone. A nasty sex pig had taken his place. He was sucking on Chris as if his dick had the last oxygen on earth. All the spit and slobber made Chris feel a little nasty too. He flipped Antonio over and started to rim his hole. He fingered it for a little bit as well, and then finally shoved his rod inside. Fingers were not enough to prepare Antonio for this thick piece of meat. Antonio yelled out, and started screaming in a combo of pain and pleasure. After fucking him doggie and on his back, Chris could not hold back anymore. He pulled out and came right in that hot little mouth of Antonio, and all that hot cum in his mouth caused Antonio to bust all over his chest. Antonio set the bar in this scene. I cannot wait to have him back.
Austin, Chris & Jordan
Randy Blue has been around for 10 years this month. To celebrate, we decided to get three of our hottest models together for some fun. The partying started and Austin, Chris and Jordan got super wasted. Drunken flirtations began and suddenly Chris was willing to give up his ass. But before that butt could be tapped, everyone blacked out. The next morning, Chris had come to his senses and decided to head out. Austin and Jordan were having none of it. Chris promised his ass ,and he was going to deliver. After some heavy making out, Chris was properly persuaded to stay. He sank to his knees and put both of those cocks into his mouth. Chris went back and forth between Jordan and Austin, choking on them both. Then Jordan shoved Chris and Austin down on the bed and blew both of them. Then Chris and Jordan decided to make out with a dick in between them. After Austin was done being serviced by Chris and Jordan, he rimmed both of their tight holes. The rimming got Jordan excited and he decided that he wanted to get fucked for the first time. Austin slowly slid into his ass while Chris slammed his cock into his face. Jordan was a spit roasted and loved every minute of it. Then Chris fucked him doggy style. Finally Chris gave up his butt to Austin. Austin fucked him missionary as he moaned with pleasure. Then Jordan mounted Chris from behind. Chris and Austin began to jerk off over Jordan until they busted. Jordan swallowed down their loads until he jizzed all over himself. They made out until all three had their faces soaked in hot white cum.

Home Cleaning Can be Easy!
Domestic housework doesn't fit in the category for the most pleasant chores an urban housewife or man can do at home. Most homeowners and tenants surely find chores like household cleaning highly unlikely to be enjoyable and of course that's absolutely normal. After all, that's why we have professional cleaners companies, i.e. the fantastic cleaners and etc. If you would rather clean your home by yourself, here I am sharing some easy-to-follow tips and ideas on how to handle six common highly annoying household chores, that would otherwise require professional help.
Domestic Chore No 1 – Cleaning Bug Dirt Off Lamps
Why homeowners and tenants hate it:
When lamps turn hot, it gets sticky and bugs can't really escape such a trap. Bug dirt piles up on the surface and that makes it incredibly hard to clean, especially if you have to do an end of tenancy cleaning. Although the heaps of bugs are not dangerous for your health, they are the definition of an unpleasant domestic chore to scrub and take care of.
What to do:
- Turn off lamps - mandatory!
- Get a steady ladder (if your dirty lighting is too high).
- Remove all lampshades.
- Rinse with water and dry as good as possible.
- Use a soft rug to wipe each light bulb.
- If you feel you have to clean those via soaking, leave the lampshades in the water for a bit longer so grime can fall off.
- If there is a lot of dirt, prepare a brush to fully clean.
- Dry the freshly cleaned lampshades and carefully put them back.
- Turn on electricity and voilà – no dimmed lights!
Household Chore No 2 – Emptying the Vacuum Cleaner Bag
Why people hate it:
Usually, when the dirt bag is half full, vacuums cleaner are not fully efficient and large pieces of dirt are unlikely to be sucked at all. The more dirt, the harder the appliance will work. If not emptied on time, the bag can cause for the motor to break down and thus you end up with an even bigger mess.
What to do:
- Turn on the cleaner for a while, so all the dirt inside the appliance can settle in the bag.
- Plug off. If you have a vacuum cleaner with a one-time bag, make a duct tape "bridge", so all gathered filth stays "in".
- If you use standard bags, it's best to first go outside, on a terrace, balcony or simply in the yard. Otherwise, your property might get really, really messy.
- Tip overall dirt in a paper bin and wash the bag thoroughly.
- After cleaning is done with, make sure it dries off completely. Your best option, however, is to buy a water filter vacuum cleaner, because it gathers all garbage within a container.
- Throw dirty water from the cleaner container straight into the toilet. The water filter will restrain all particles, so they won't go back into the room.
Dirty Chore No 3 – Cleaning the Paper Waste Basket
Why homeowners hate it:
Thrown out food and liquids often end up outside the trash bin, which is in reach of pets and children. Often mould and unpleasant smells arise from rotting food within the bin itself. From there on, mould spores get in the air and thus raise the risk for a number of allergies.
What to do:
- Regularly clean and empty the basket. Avoid dirt building up.
- Go out in the open and leave in in the air for a while. Sun and fresh air act as natural antibacterial agents.
- Spray with a disinfectant or a DIY green cleaning solution inside the basket and leave it for a few minutes at least once a week.
- Use rubber gloves and sturdy wipe and scrub off all dirt via brush.
- Rinse with water on a regular basis. Better use a shower head (if it's movable), or a hose.
Housekeeping Chore No 4 – Cleaning the Ceiling Fan
Why homeowners hate it:
Fans are the perfect environment for dust mites, which dramatically raise allergy risks. By constantly spinning, ceiling fans spread out particles and mites all over the room.
What to do:
- Stop the device and place newspapers or old pieces of cloth on the floor, right beneath it. You'd better cover an area twice as bigger than the fan's size.
- Fill out a spray bottle with disinfectant and soak in an old soft rug. A shower cap will help you protect your head and hair from dust and dirt.
- Step on a ladder, so that you make sure your head is above the fan. Use a damp pillow case or a shoe bag. Рun it all over one of the fan's wings, so that you clean it in a way all dirt stays within the case.
- Use the old rug to clean what has remained of grime. If the ceiling is too high, use a micro fibre brush formed as a noose. It will serve you good to clean all unreachable surfaces.
Dirty Chore No 5: Cleaning the Bathroom
Why people hate it:
if not wiped on time, hardened soap foam (full of dirt) along with showers and bathroom walls, are very difficult to clean after. A humid environment is appropriate for mould development, especially on the grout. The deposits damage the structure, let alone tile colours.
What to do:
- Spray the walls with a cleaning solution and scrub all over with a hard brush.
- Pay special attention to the grout between the tiles.
- Use a window cleaner for the glass surfaces. If you are a fan of green cleaning, use one of the many vinegar solutions.
- You may not need to rinse it since the smell will disappear soon.
Domestic Job No 6 – Cleaning Under and Behind the Fridge
Why people hate it:
Fridge parts can accumulate a lot of dirt, which reduces work capacity and damages the whole system. Under the fridge floor, grime can mix with moisture and permanently stick to the floor.
What to do:
- Pull out the kitchen appliance, turn it off and wait for a little while. The food won't go stale for the time you spend on cleaning it.
- Use the vacuum cleaner's hose to gather all the dirt from the back of the appliance.
- Wipe the walls with a damp cloth and a dishwasher solution.
- Wipe the floor with a proper cleaning solution, minding the surface you have (stone and ceramic surfaces will suffer from an acidic solution).
- Turn the appliance back on and put it back in place.
- If it's possible, keep it turned off while you move it.
Of course, when it comes down to domestic cleaning, the list of chores can literally go on forever. The chores listed here are simple a handful of what the average urban housewife has to tackle on a regular basis. You could always go for a professional domestic cleaning, but it does not hurt to improve the way you handle domestic cleaning!
