Emmanuel Macron (En Marche! Candidate for President in the 2017 Election in France) – The surprise for 2017 election. Money by Moscow, a merger, collecting of votes, help…. – Clairvoyant reading January 28 ,2017, 3pm. – by Clairvoyant House "Dimitrinka Staikova and daughters Stoyanka and Ivelina Staikova" – from Europe, Bulgaria, Varna.
Behind him is staying the man with the money, which is financing him. Until this moment, I see first a way down, then a dividing line with the person behind him, put by the secret leaders in this country. This is the man who gets the help of Moscow. Except the hidden partner, there was another one who has left the campaign and on his place I see a woman, who actually leads the presidential candidate campaign. Begins the increasing of financing and the shooting up of Emmanuel Macron.
Before the end of January 2017 – I see conversations with other political parties and agreements. That presidential campaign is led by Emmanuel Macron with passion on very tender steps and probing (groping), what would like to the society. He offers more peaceful and more moderate steps about the crisis in France. The emphasis is on the political crisis and the way of life.
February 2017 – from the beginning of the month starts with travels and the making of supporters on places. From February 17 to 23, 2017 – former ideological comrades will trick him. Then, I see him for a short time with bandaged head and with offers against him. There aren't many people behind him, but they are quality people.
In the end of March and the beginning of April 2017 after he witnesses fascist events, mr. Macron is taking a decision. There is a forthcoming surprise on 2017 election in France – I see a merger of two candidates in one and the staying of one in the presidential race. The remaining person is almost winning the Election 2017 in France.
And nevertheless, in the last moment there is a small amount of votes which are not enough about the election of Emmanuel Macron and then comes the help of Moscow.
Emmanuel Macron's Health – I see pains in the neck caused by bone spurs, pains in the right side of the head, sick thyroid gland and hard constriction, and increased energy at right – lung, muscles, gall until the prostate, which will be treated, both with the right kidney. The first signs that he will feel are while breathing in and out. Then comes neurosis – formication in the body at right in the loins. I see a treatment of kidneys, because of a chemical taken. He must reduce the salt, and he must take for a short time Vitamin B.
Marine Le Pen ( France's Front National (FN) far-right party's President and Presidential Candidate for 2017 Election) – The person with the most votes as a separate candidate. Election program based on terrorism and war. Clairvoyant Calendar about her Presidential Campaign 2017 and her health – Clairvoyant reading January 28, 2017, 10 am. – by Clairvoyant House "Dimitrinka Staikova and daughters Stoyanka and Ivelina Staikova" – from Europe, Bulgaria, Varna.
Photo – January 21, 2017. Time – after the photo.
This is a moment of gathering of a huge energy. Three groups of one political party are gathered (leaders). The one group drops out. This is a moment for a merger, attraction of more supporters for Marine Le Pen. Yes – I see a big support and a lot of energy, but also there is a moment when she is in the air, she doesn't keep her feet on the ground. The victory is on the base of war. Her Election program is as whole measured and balanced, but only if her political party is whole (complete).
And also in the future, I see that the only thing that will remain by her election program is war. For external allies except her political party there is also a jewish organisation, which later is refusing by that position. And so, it will remain only her party – two powerful energy companies (which are in her political party) and a lot of money. There will be no lack of money in the Presidential Campaign of Marine Le Pen.
Until the end of January 2017 – I see a lot of meetings (rallies) and accumulation of anger. She will have problems with freezing of the legs, flu and light temperature.
In the beginning of February 2017 – I see meetings with rich supporters – foreigners/muslims and getting of financial support. I see contracts about the buying of weapons and military equipment by France (tanks) – Libya, Egypt – this is not the official authority, but fractions. February 2017 – Marine Le Pen will try to meet with russians, but it will be fruitless. There will be meetings also with jews. During a travel abroad she will loose a big sum of money.
March 2017 is a month of rise for Marine Le Pen. After March 3-4, 2017 – there will be a threat (terrorism) that she will turn in her favor. Around March 17, 2017 is the next moment for assault over woman. In the end of the month, both with the bad weather, problems with rivers (an overflow despite the snow cover). There will be also a terrorist threat about a power plant. This is the moment for uniting of many people and winning of many votes. She will have like a separate candidate of the right party – the most votes in France. But will this be enough for a president ?
The health of Marine Le Pen – January 21, 2017 – She has a hormonal disbalance : sick thyroid gland, the pineal gland is affected. I see sick teeth, a disease in the ovaries, hernia in a lighter form down low in the stomach. It is written on her fate a surgical operation – the reason is at right of the stomach. There is a disease of the muscles on the right kidney and the right kidney. She will have problems with the pelvis caused by a (physical) blow. Now, reacts the heart, pain ib the thyroid gland, the head and the stomach (down low).

Media Confirmation :
French election: Emmanuel Macron wins presidency by decisive margin
Centrist independent on course for victory by 65% to 35% margin but Marine Le Pen's defeat still marks historically high vote for France's far right

LONDON — Meghan Musnicki, a 2005 Ithaca College graduate
and member of the United States Olympic rowing team, won a gold
medal Thursday morning with the women's eight. The U.S. won its
second straight gold medal, leading the race from the start and
beating Canada by a half length.
Musnicki, who rowed in gold-medal winning boats at the World Rowing Championships, is in her first year with the U.S. Olympic team. She earned her spot following the last month's trials at Mercer Lake in West Windsor, N.J.
The women's eight posted a winning time of 6:10.59, defeating Canada and the Netherlands, who took the bronze. The U.S. team has not lost a competitive eight race internationally since winning the 2006 world title in London.
The U.S. crew, which also included Caryn Davies, Caroline Lind, Eleanor Logan, Taylor Ritzel, Esther Lofgren, Susan Francia, Erin Cafaro and coxswain Mary Whipple, won the country's third women's eight gold medal (the Americans won in 1984 in Los Angeles and in 2008 in Beijing)
The Olympic victory is the latest accomplishment in Musnicki's decorated national and international rowing career. Prior to being selected for the U.S. team, she helped the United States win gold medals in the women's eight at the last two World Rowing Championships. Her boat set a world record of 5:54.17 in the 2012 heat. Musnicki has twice won the pairs competition at National Selection Regattas.
As a Bomber, Musnicki rowed for three years in the varsity 8 boat (she transferred to Ithaca after rowing at St. Lawrence as a freshman). She helped the Bombers win NCAA championships in 2004 and 2005. She and the varsity eight capped an undefeated season in 2004 by winning the grand final at the NCAA Championships; as a senior she served as commodore as Ithaca became the first school to repeat as NCAA Division III women's rowing champions.
Musnicki graduated with a degree in psychology.
Following her graduation, Musnicki moved to Massachusetts, where she resumed her training while also preparing for nursing school. She was invited to a selection camp for the U.S. National Team four that would compete at the World Championships; after not being selected, she moved to Boston to train on a full-time basis.
She continued to participate in selection camps and earned her first spot with the national team in 2010. An injury to her partner in the pair competition at the 2010 World Cup postponed her first international racing opportunity, but later that year she won the first of two consecutive titles with the U.S. eight boat at the World Championships.
Musnicki and her family have been an important part of Ithaca's rowing program; in 2005, the Bombers dedicated the Bill Musnicki III '75, a racing shell named in honor of her late father.

The Saints remain extremely popular in New Orleans. The team's latest moves may not be.
Coach Sean Payton officially has announced that Rob Ryan will become the team's new defensive coordinator, and that Stan Kwan will serve as the assistant special-teams coordinator.
"I'm pleased the opportunity has presented itself for us to be able to add both Rob Ryan and Stan Kwan to our coaching staff," Payton said in a team-issued release. "In regards to Rob, we have experience in preparing and playing against his defenses and they've always been challenging in terms of the different looks and pressures that they feature. We've had the chance to visit with each other and talk about our visions for our team and I'm excited about moving forward as we prepare for the 2013 season. Rob is enthusiastic about joining our team and getting right to work. Stan is a veteran coach that understands all nuances of the special teams games and will work closely with Greg McMahon. He has a wealth of knowledge and I believe he will be a good fit on our staff."
It's not Kwan that will cause local concern. Many will view Rob Ryan as a 3-4 version of Gregg Williams. Brash, loud, abrasive, and quite possibly trouble.
That said, Saints fans loved Williams' bravado until the word "bounty" first flowed from the league office (or at least until Williams' defense stunk in 2011). If Payton can ensure Ryan won't do anything that will get the franchise in trouble, Ryan brings the type of swagger that the Saints enjoyed when Williams was running the show.
Still, there's a delicate balance that will need to be maintained, and there's nothing delicate about Rob Ryan. At times during his two-year stint in Dallas, it seemed like he was trying to take the place over.
In fairness to Ryan, his defense in Cleveland took the Superdome over in 2010, beating the Saints 30-17 in the first season after New Orleans won its first championship.
From Payton's perspective, his willingness to not make a safe hire shows that he's highly motivated to win more championships. In that regard, fans should be encouraged — and they should realize that Payton is prepared to ensure that history doesn't repeat itself.
At least not the bad kind of history.

When it comes to state tourism boards and social media, Kerala is certainly at the forefront, followed by Gujarat. For a tourist, Kerala has an almost universal appeal. Kerala isn't the only state that is rich in such natural beauty; almost the whole of India's peninsula has a coastline to boast of.
But, there seems to be so much more awareness of what Kerala in particular has to offer.
The reason; smart, progressive and organized advertising strategies. 'Your moment is waiting', their latest campaign is one of the most intoxicatingly beautiful television commercials ever made.
Visual appealing tv commercials can only stir an initial curiosity. Kerala Tourism reached out to over 1,20,000 facebook fans, who by 'liking' the page have access to almost daily udates on what to do in the state. From which food is in season, to which temple is a must-visit, the page is loaded with information that is not available on their website or anywhere else for that matter. A special mention must be made of the photographs shared on this page; they are extremely visually appealing. Just glancing at the wall of their facebook page brings forth a montage of vivid imagery representative of the state. These small picture stories would really be ideal for a person researching Kerala before a trip.
Their twitter page has a more humble 8,000+ followers that can interact with @KeralaTourism. The hashtag #ThingsToDoInKerala has a small group of tweeple chirping. The twitter world hasn't yet been taken by storm, but one must give props to the Kerala State Tourism board for being among the only ones to have a presence on twitter.
The Youtube page is extremely informative. There are a host of well made mini documentaries, which would really help demystify the destination, before actually reaching there.
Tourists tend to be put-off by excessive touting and over-selling. Kerala Tourism has managed to steer clear of these extremes. This is evident in their social (media) face, which is informative, but still aloof and not as interactive as one would imagine.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Seven Marines were killed in a collision of two helicopters near Yuma, Ariz., during night training exercises, the Marine Corps said Thursday.
Lt. Maureen Dooley with Miramar Air Base in California said the service members with the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing were based at Camp Pendleton north of San Diego. The crash around 8 p.m. Wednesday involved an AH-1W "Cobra" and UH-1 "Huey" helicopter, she said.
The aircraft collided in a remote portion of the Yuma Training Range Complex.
"We're still gathering a lot of details as the sun comes up," Dooley said.
It will be at least 24 hours before the Marine Corps releases the names of those killed, she said.
Capt. Staci Reidinger, director of public affairs at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma said earlier Thursday that the crash happened west of the Chocolate Mountains in California, though the exact location hasn't been confirmed.
"It's not in a populated area," she said.
Cpl. Steven Posy with Marine Corps Air Station Miramar said Thursday the weather "was pretty mild last night."
Several accidents have happened in the past year involving Marine Corps training in Southern California.
In September, a helicopter went down during a training exercise at Camp Pendleton, killed the two Marines onboard and set off a fast-moving brush fire at Camp Pendleton.
In August, two Marines were ejected from their F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet as it plunged toward the Pacific Ocean. The two Marines spent four hours in the dark, chilly ocean before they were rescued. Both suffered broken but survived.
In July, a decorated Marine from western New York was killed during a training exercise when his UH-1Y helicopter went down in a remote section of Camp Pendleton, north of San Diego.
Another Hornet sustained at least $1 million damage when its engine caught fire on March 30 aboard the USS John C. Stennis during a training exercise about 100 miles off the San Diego coast. Eight sailors, a Marine and two civilians were injured.
A decade ago, in February 2002, a helicopter crash in the Chocolate Mountains in eastern Imperial County, Calif., killed two Camp Pendleton Marines and injured two others. The UH-1N Huey was on a routine training mission in the Naval gunnery range.
The Cobra carries a crew of two, a pilot and gunner, and is considered the Marine Corps' main attack helicopter. The UH-1Y, which is replacing the aging version of the Huey utility helicopter first used during the Vietnam War, carries a crew of one or two pilots, a crew chief and other crew members, depending on the mission.

The first item that I had to learn is that a Source and a Citation are two different things. The program, and many others, "Source Citation" as a term. But to understand the Template feature, we need to break them apart.
My understanding of these two terms is that a Source is a container of Information. A book, a record, a picture. The Citation provides more detailed information about the Claim or Assertion that is made within that Source. Family Tree Maker uses the term "Fact" to represent the Claim or Assertion.
This Source claims that something happened on this date at this place and is found on page ### of this Book.
Lets take an 1870 Federal Census Record that was found on Ancestry.com. Where the Source is found and what exactly I am looking at, plays a role in defining the "Source".
Here is a link to the Evidence Explained website, for the QuickCheck Model for Microfilm: Population Schedules, 1850 - 1870.
It has the First (Full) Reference Note in the center of that page. Within Family Tree Maker, there is also a field called Reference Note. The trick, for me, is to get those two "Reference Notes" to have the same information in them.
We are trying to fill in these blanks:
- Census ID
- Jurisdiction
- Schedule
- Civil Division
- Page ID
- Household ID
- Person(s) of Interest
- Film ID
For me to understand this, the first four items (in blue) define the Source. The last four items (in red) define the Citation. (Container and where the information came from)
So, what does this look like in Family Tree Maker?
I selected the Template for the US Population Schedule for 1850-1870, by Census Year and Location. This example has been filled in:
- Census Year = 1870
- State = Maryland
- County = Baltimore County
- Publication number = M593
- File roll number = 576
- Website title = Ancestry.com
- Database publisher = Ancestry.com Operations, Inc
- Publisher location = Provo, Utah
- Database year = 2009
- URL = http://www.ancestry.com
All of this information came from the Ancestry.com website:
Source Citation: Year: 1870; Census Place: Baltimore Ward 11, Baltimore, Maryland; Roll: M593_576; Page: 40A; Image: 83; Family History Library Film: 552075.
I picked up the data in blue for the Source fields above. The template tells me what I am looking at and where I got it from much like the First Full Reference Note.Source Information:Ancestry.com. 1870 United States Federal Census [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2009. Images reproduced by FamilySearch.Original data:1870 U.S. census, population schedules. NARA microfilm publication M593, 1,761 rolls. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.
The First Full Reference Note has more information which more clearly defines the claims (Facts) that I got from that Source.
Here is the same information from Ancestry.com, that I need to fill in those other 4 fields. (in red)
That is the information that needs to be entered into the Citation Detail of the Citation screen in Family Tree Maker.Source Citation: Year: 1870; Census Place: Baltimore Ward 11, Baltimore, Maryland; Roll: M593_576; Page: 40A; Image: 83; Family History Library Film: 552075.Source Information:Ancestry.com. 1870 United States Federal Census [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2009. Images reproduced by FamilySearch.Original data:1870 U.S. census, population schedules. NARA microfilm publication M593, 1,761 rolls. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.
To help me fill in those blanks, I put in the Comments of that Source (Template) screen this information.
[ civil division ]; Page __; dwelling number _; family number _; Lines _ - _; [ person of interest ] household; accessedI need to pick up:
- Civil Division = Baltimore Ward 11
- Page = 79
- Household ID = dwelling number 436, family number 546
- Person of Interest = William Howard
That is the information in the Citation Detail field.
Since the Head of Household is already in the Citation Detail, I also enter it into the Citation Text field and other notes that I might want to make. BUT, I remove the Check Mark to the right of the Citation Text field and since I usually pick up the Web Address, I also do not include that in the Reference Note.
Here is what the Reference Note looks like.
1870 U.S. census, population schedule, Maryland, Baltimore County, Baltimore Ward 11; Page 79 and 80; dwelling number 436; family number 546; Lines 39 and 40, 1 - 6; William Howard household; Image: 83; Family History Libary Film: 552075; accessed 01 Jul 2011; NARA microfilm publication M593, roll 576; digital image, Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com).You will notice that this household was on two pages, 79 and 80, lines 39 and 40 on page 79, and lines 1 through 6 on page 90.
Please note that the order of the location is not the same, but the information is the same. The Census ID and the Schedule are not in the same order, but it is there.
The beauty of the Template feature is the consistency of the EndNotes or Reference Notes.
I go through this same process for each type of record that I use in Family Tree Maker. Look at the First Full Reference Note in Evidence Explained. Look at that record (Source) screen and understand what is Source Information and what is Citation (Citation Detail) information. Then create that short cut that I copy and paste from the Source Comment field, to update the Citation Detail field to complete the Family Tree Maker Reference Note.
Lesson Learned: Spend time understanding Evidence Explained, by Elizabeth Shown Mills and the Family Tree Maker Template Feature.
The book, Evidence Explained has been a very worthwhile investment to have on my desk. The Evidence Explained website and Facebook Group page are very worthwhile resources on this topic.

Giovanni Ribisi Weds Model Agyness Deyn
The actor and the model quietly got married in Los Angeles
Scott Kirkland/PictureGroup; Samir Hussein/WireImage
It was barely publicized that Giovanni Ribisi and model Agyness Deyn were even dating in the first place – but their relationship was obviously quite serious.
The actor, 37, who has a role in the upcoming movie Ted, wed the British model, 29, over the weekend in Los Angeles, Ribisi's rep confirms.
This marriage is a first for Deyn, and a second for Ribisi, who split from former wife Mariah O'Brien in 2001. The exes have a child together, daughter Lucia.
The wedding was first reported by the Huffington Post.

As I mentioned earlier this week, there are three types of gravescapes that have been used in the U.S. since the early 1600's - graveyards, rural cemeteries and lawn cemeteries.
Today we'll take a look at the graveyard.
|Cemetery in Terre Haute, Indiana
Just the name conjures up visions of an old, desolate hill with worn headstones, heavy shadows and forbidding trees.
(Cue the Hollywood lightening and howling winds.)
The word graveyard, according to wikipedia.org, comes from the Anglo-Saxon words of 'graf' meaning a pit,
and 'yairden', which means an open place or garden. From the settlement of the U.S. through the
eighteenth century, graveyards were what we called the places where we buried our dead.
|White River Chapel and cemetery, Bowman, Indiana
Many graveyards were located adjacent to churches and burials there were at the invitation of the church leaders. Other graveyards were dedicated family plots. Family (or private) burial grounds can still be found in rural areas, but health codes have led to their diminishing numbers. During the settlement of this country most rural families had a burial site on the family farm. Or early settlers would gather and select a plot of land on which to bury their families together. Depending on necessity, it may have been on the first farmland settled in the area, or in a wooded area or on a hilltop not far from their homes.
|Hamer Cemetery, Mitchell, Indiana
Graveyards were maintained in the American countryside until after WWII when they eventually fell out of favor. Several reasons have been given for their demise, including the lack of space for new burials, the opportunity for contagious diseases to spread quickly throughout a community, and frequent requests for churches to bury those who were not their parishioners.
|Finding my Great-Great Grandparents,
Pike County, Indiana
Regardless of how you view graveyards, there is no adequate way to describe the feelings that surface when you finally locate your family's graveyard and stand among your ancestors. Here is their final resting place, near the land, the people and the community they loved. A gravely awe-inspiring feeling of connection –
of coming home to your roots!

From the publication of the New York Times it became known that Apple has removed from the App Store several applications that duplicate the "Screen Time" function in iOS. The company explained why it had to take such a step.
At the beginning of May, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects big changes to to come for the iPhones' antenna material. According to the sources the analyst has, the company is planning to adopt modified-PI (MPI) material in the handsets which would replace the existing liquid crystal polymer (LCP)
In his interview to CNBC, Apple's CEO Tim Cook commented and defended his company against the attacks political forces are escalating against tech community. Cook emphasized that "Tech is not monolithic" and that there is no need for them to be reduced to the same level.

The motherboard is one of the main parts of MacBook.
Sometimes iPhone owners face an unpleasant situation – the Apple logo appears on the screen and the device ceases to show signs of life.

The Franchise13 wrote:I have gone to a few IWL shows this year. I will be going to their show on Sunday. As far as quality of their shows/matches, it all depends who is wrestling. IWL is run by a group of friends, which sadly, sometimes just dont know how to step off from the spotlight. They have bad storylines which sometimes bring down the quality of the matches or the mood of the night. If u were to put that aside, which I always do, their wrestlers really put on a show. Bucks are always amazing aswell as Rosas and Kadillak. I saw a table match once at IWL, and It was 5 stars type of match.
Another bad thing about IWL is the crowds. When they were in Chino, it was a mixed crowd of disrespectful people aswell as people who screamed just to try to get attention.
luca brasi wrote:the IWL guys are good kids and try hard, but like another post said, they cant keep the spotlight off themselves, a common problem at indy shows. This problem stems from the fact they were predominantly untrained backyarders who could not /would not get booked anywhere so they had to create their own show. I know it may sound like I'm bashing them but I'm really not, they seem to legitimately try to learn for the most part, but they manage to get names on their cards because they are not afraid to spend money. I can't imagine the fed keeps going though; however, they've already lasted longer than I thought they would.
So in answer to your question... look at the card. If there are wrestlers/matches you want to see, it's worth checking out.

I'm been thinking lately about what a library automation system would look like today if we had the chance to start completely from scratch. I don't necessarily think we'll ever get the chance to start over, but I do worry that we're entirely too constrained by the ILS in its current form. In my Systems Librarian column for the Nov / Dec issue of Computers in Libraries, I present a few of the ways that library automation systems could serve libraries better if we could rebuild them around the ways that libraries work today.
I anticipate that the next cycle of library automation developments will focus more on the ILS, but hopefully in a completely redefined form. The basic structure of today's ILS was cast more than 20 years ago. The next generation of library automation systems needs to be designed to match the workfLows of today's libraries, which manage both digital and print resources. In order to provide efficient and effective support, the software needs to be designed around the processes and tasks that meet the goals of the organization. The current slate of ILS products works on many assumptions about library workflows that have long since changed. The next generation would benefit from a thorough re-examination of the day-to-day work that takes place inside libraries.
Read the entire article. Here's a list of Systems Librarian columns.

From the get-go, the publicist just rubs me the wrong way. He calls a couple of times, and I can't figure out why. I'm already working on a story about Sad Baby Wolf. I don't need any more convincing. Finally, he corners me. I answer my phone one morning, and there he is. It's later in the day in his time zone, so he's got the alertness edge on me.
He wants to talk about the Albuquerque music scene as it was in the late '90s when he lived here. You know, the good old days, the golden era: In the Year of The Shins, that kind of thing. He wants to tell me about how the scene today is flat in comparison. I say what I always say in these tired conversations, which is that things are just different now, not worse.
The industry's wheels are coming off, its springs are shooting into the badlands. Everyone can record. Everyone can post (and steal) songs on the Internet. Everyone can tour. Everyone can be anything; you don't need permission. And this desert is home to a thriving DIY scene.
Maybe another side effect of this decentralization is it's a little harder for a local band to become the next big thing—if that's even what the band wants to do. I wonder if The Shins' story is still possible, or if they were among the last to rise in the Age of Indie Giants. One thing's for sure: The problem, if you want to call it that, is not that the musicians around here are shittier than they used to be, or that the scene is a sad, shriveled version of its former self. You can find a super-sick show any night of the week if you know where to look.
Finally, I straight-up ask this publicist guy why we're talking. Essentially, he's angling for a big fat cover story about Sad Baby Wolf, in particular that two of the dudes in the band were once members of The Shins, and now they're opening for The Shins at a couple of shows. The Shins, The Shins, The Shins.
I cringe as I imagine asking the questions: So, about that band you used to be in that's all famous … Will you always be defined by your old band? … Hey, you know that big-deal band that you're not in anymore … ?
Let me tell you the story I want to tell you about Sad Baby Wolf.
The drummer, Maury Crandall, used to write songs with his wife Connie, and they performed around town as the Giranimals a couple of years ago. It was '60s-influenced, catchy stuff, unlike most of what was here at the time, with sweet melodies and surprising chord choices. They were keyed into that side of pop-rock that's friendly and contemplative. Maury's a sensitive drummer, never just laying down a generic backbeat, and he played tastefully on any one of his three vintage drum kits. Connie tickled a Fender Rhodes electric piano and strummed a guitar. They had to stop playing gigs, he says, because with three kids (now four), Giranimals outings were eating up all their babysitting favors.
Bassist Sean McCullough hails from The Oktober People and The Bellmont, and he's captured the audio of a ton of bands in these parts. He's made their albums. He's done live sound at local rock clubs. My guess is that McCullough's ear, trained from fine-tuning both minutiae and the big picture, is what makes him such a good bassist. He recorded and mixed the Sad Baby Wolf album—still unreleased, they're shopping it around—which has an unusual feeling of space and depth. And, as with every perfectionist recording and mix engineer I've ever met, he wishes he could redo the entire thing. McCullough's also got a new baby at home.
It's these guys who made me want to write about this band. Turns out, the rest of the dudes are all right, too.
When I sit down to interview all of Sad Baby Wolf, they're funny and unpretentious. They arrive directly from band practice in the North Valley. They just completed a short tour that's like any local band's, with some shows that are bigger than the ones back home and some that are smaller. They're not signed to a label. I ask if they want to be. "Yeah, that'd be cool. Know anybody?" jokes Marty Crandall, drummer Maury's brother and … an ex-Shin.
Sad Baby Wolf started naturally, with no expectations. This is not the tale of formerly famous guys scrambling back to the top of the heap. Three guitarists—Marty, Jason Ward and Neal Langford—got together to write a few songs for a one-off performance. (Oh yeah. And Langford was also in that other famous band.) They were playing an October 2010 benefit in Albuquerque for an old friend, Greg Nelson, who had cancer. Maury got roped into drumming.
So is it hard to orchestrate three guitars? The trio of axe-masters shake their heads. Drummer Maury pipes in, "Well, they would say no, but … ." All three are given their moments to shine, Langford says, with the guitars laying down textures, not ripping wicked solos atop one another. Langford provides a dissonant chime. Ward's pulling out some low-end fuzz. And Marty's the jangly, delay-loving guy.
They were invited to a couple more gigs after the benefit. After running sound at one of those shows, McCullough leveled with them. "You guys need a bass player."
Did they name their band Sad Baby Wolf—a mental picture so cloying and cute—so no one would ever be mean to them? They laugh. No. It's taken from a long-running joke. Inside Star Tattoo, a shop at the mouth of Corrales, there's a page of sad baby animal flash art that struck the band as funny long before they formed.
Eventually, they recorded some material, getting together whenever they could. It's a scheduling feat with families at home: Ward's a father, too. "Everything's got to be planned in advance," says McCullough. But the songmaking comes easy. "Things sounded good," Langford says. "We were like, Wow. I hadn't played, basically, since I got out of The Shins."
OK. Here we go. Let's talk about life and music as it relates to The Shins.
Ward had to lure Langford and Marty out to pick up their guitars again, he says. "They were in little corners, hidden, and they didn't want to play. I'd give them little treats. It was like E.T."
Marty says it was hard to come back to playing music after getting kicked out of The Shins. "I was just kinda pissed about the whole thing. I'd done it one way for so long. I got in my head that it'd never be like that again. Which now that I look at it, it means nothing. If you love playing music, you keep playing music."
Another stroke of luck, Marty says, is his bandmates. He's got good friends and a brother to make music with.
Marty and Langford's relationship with The Shins' main guy James Mercer has been patched. Plans are in motion to release all the old proto-Shins Flake Music material. And Mercer invited them onstage at Red Rocks to perform a song not that long ago. "He's pretty excited that we're in another project now," Marty says. And Mercer is down to help them in little ways, like inviting them to open a couple of shows. "For us, it's huge. They'll be by far the biggest shows we've ever played."
Friendship triumphed in the end, says Maury. "It's like water under the bridge now."
"There's no sense in hanging on to anger," Langford says.
Ward adds: "And we've all moved to a space where we're happy with what we're doing."

This past Sunday, some friends and I ran the Quad Cities Marathon Relay. For those of you out-of-staters, the Quad Cities are: Moline and Rock Island, IL and Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa. (Oh, who am I kidding… I had to look that up. I'm from Illinois and I had no clue.)
A few highlights:
- Packet pick up/pre-race went pretty smoothly. A nice local lady recommended the Blue Cat Brew Pub in Rock Island for dinner. The food was great, but the service was terrible. I was the only one brave enough to try the beer and it was just okay. I'd definitely go back and try some of their other selections some time.
- The Quad Cities are a LOT nicer than I expected. I guess I didn't know what to expect, but they had really cute shops, a quaint downtown area, etc. Definitely worth a visit.
- Race day weather was *perfect*– it was a little chilly at the start and I got goose bumps when I was waiting at the relay exchange zone, but it was perfect for running. Sunny and about 67 or so.
- The course was breathtakingly beautiful– It was a 5 person relay and 4 of us had scenic routes. There were 3 bridges and 4 towns. One of my teammates got to run on the Interstate bridge from IL to Iowa. Most of the routes ran along the river and it was just a picture-perfect fall day.
- I'd never run a relay before, so I was a little apprehensive about getting from one leg to another and making sure we didn't "miss" one another. Luckily, they had a well-organized shuttle system to transport runners from the start/finish line to their legs. My exchange zone happened to be 1 block away from our hotel. I could've walked there, but I wasn't familiar enough with the area, so I rode the bus from the start/finish line and waited for about an hour.
- My leg was the middle leg, so I wasn't able to watch any of the other exchanges, but we didn't get lost and no one had to run an extra leg because the next runner wasn't there. Definite plus in my book.
- The exchange zones themselves were well-run. There was a volunteer with a bullhorn yelling out bib numbers so you didn't have to worry about missing the exchange. Each relay exchange was well-stocked with water and snacks, too.
- Speaking of snacks—this race went above and beyond in the amenities department. In addition to the usual water/Gatorade/Gu, they had oranges, bananas, cold sponges and even Vaseline on the course. Which made for a *really* funny story when one of my teammates mistook the Vaseline for Gu.
- As far as the actual running, it went pretty well. I haven't really been training and the last two races I've entered have been disastrous (think: walking during a 5K). My leg was 5.6 miles and my *only* goal was to finish without walking… which I did.
- The course I ran was scenic and uneventful for the most part. I ran from Rock Island (which isn't an island) to Arsenal Island (which is). It's also—according to Wikipedia the largest government-owned weapons manufacturing arsenal in the United States. (which explains the COUNTLESS volunteers in uniform—HEL-lo!!). The last mile and a half or so were along a scenic river path. I had studied the map prior to the race but forgot to pay attention to the mile markers, so when I got towards the end I was having a hard time calculating how much further I had to go.
- I've never run on the second half of a marathon course before and I have to say—it's different. The only people on the course were uber-fit marathoners and relay participants. So, for the most part I felt like I was running a training run. A training run with occasional snacks, a cold sponge and a gorgeous view of the river!
- There was very little crowd support, at least during my leg. It didn't really bother me because I only had 5.6 miles to go, but I think if I was running the half (or the full) I'd probably appreciate a little more crowd support. But maybe my expectations were too high from my experience running the Illinois Half-Marathon in my hometown. The volunteers were super nice as was almost everyone we met in the Quad Cities. Good folks, they are.
- The race was definitely good for relay teams– there was a designated relay meet-up spot where we met our last teammate and we all ran in together. We each got medals and nice tech running shirts. No lame-o cotton t-shirts for this relay team.
- After the race, we had our complimentary beers (Miller Light) and headed home. Everyone was raving about the course and the weather. Well, everyone except Bobbi who ran the last leg. It was a brutal out-and-back with no river view. She wasn't impressed, but I can't imagine how it must have felt for the marathoners to have to do that in the last miles of 26.2.
- I think the only *real* complaint we had about the race is that it is gun-timed and there are no splits for individual runners. I ran with my phone and my RunKeeper ap, so I know how fast I ran, but no one else does. And since our team started near the back, we don't have accurate timing. Again, the scenery and "intimate" feel of the race definitely make up for this, but it sure would be nice to have more accurate timing
- I've totally re-caught the running bug and wonder how much better I could've done had I actually *trained* properly for this race. However, it taught me a valuable lesson: It seems as though I'm more motivated by successes than failures. I thought the last two botched races would be the "wake up" call I needed to get me running again. Turns out, running *well* is what I needed to get going. Running well, great friends, beautiful scenery, and a perfect day!
If you're looking for a small(ish) fall race, I highly recommend trying it out. We are definitely going back next year and some of us are thinking of running the half. They also have a 5K and a 1 mi fun run for the kids. I really can't say enough good things about this race and the Quad Cities in general.
And, now for the pictures:

As the Collage Press DT eagerly awaits the arrival of these new goodies, we put our creative energies to work with CP's other wonderful lines. I used Citrus and Fresh:
I so love the colors of these lines.
When I saw the DT's pages for this month, I had to laugh. Three out of the four layouts on today's blog posts featured variants on the paper flowers like the one above. What are the odds? I love the different approaches each of us took, though. You can see the rest of the layouts here.

I'm a Bad Girl.
Here's the proof.
Confessions of a Reluctant Valentine
It doesn't make me giddy.
It doesn't make me concerned about reservations.
It makes me roll my eyes a whole heckuva lot, actually.
I'm one of the schmaltziest people you'll meet, but this day just doesn't do it for me.
In elementary school, there was the compulsory card exchange, when even the girl who hated my guts and bullied me regularly had to give me a card. I began to doubt the sincerity of the messages that could conveniently convert "Your butt is mine" to "Be mine" for a single day.
In the sixth grade, taken with the whole idea of secret admirers, I slipped a sweet little card and a box of chocolates into the desk of my longtime crush. By the end of the day, some other girl claimed that she had given him the gifts, and they started going steady.
In the tenth grade, while attempting to pay attention in history class and stop thinking about my recently broken heart, I looked out the window to see my ex-boyfriend and his friends unrolling a huge poster: "I love you --" and the name that followed was not mine, but the name of the girl who sat next to me in class.
Two years later, just in time for Valentine's Day, I published an article in the school newspaper entitled "Hearts and Cyanide," a diatribe against all things valentine, pink, red, lovey dovey, and the like. It was a huge hit with the broken-hearted contingent on campus...and not such a huge hit with the ex-boyfriend who inspired the piece.
Flash forward to the happily married me, who is still surprised when her husband gives her anything on Valentine's Day, since my expectations of this day have been traditionally low. Every year, though, he seems to know how to keep it real while still making my heart get all a-flutter. He knows me, and every one of his gifts proves it.
Today I awoke to a card and chocolates waiting for me on my desk (he knew that it would be the first place I'd head on a Saturday morning). We went out for lunch (trying to beat the dinner rush), and I even wore red -- me, the girl who used to call this day "V.D." To make the day even sweeter, my husband accompanied me to my LSS, where I picked up some new MME and BG goodies.
I'm still not a total V-Day convert -- just ask my seventh grade girls, whose eyes boggled when I announced yesterday, "Put those stuffed animals away in my class or expect to see a bonfire in the middle of the field outside."

A Tornado in Hawaii?
Saturday, February 7, 2009
This week, I challenged my students to write a love poem without cliches. I decided to try my hand at it, too. 'Tis the season, after all.
in our near misses
our only justs
in our spelling errors
or forgot-to-gets
or judgments.
in our aim
when we hurl words
at each other
in our retractions
in finding the words
we can't peel back
because they are only
substance, not form.
yet in this cockeyed love
of ours
we see each other
as we should.
we fit,
and when we don't,
we make it fit, seeking
grooves where fingers tread.
Our story is not about
a perfect golden band,
but the imperfect flesh
imprinted on the body
which, even in
its forgetfulness,
is the home of memory
even in pain,
is the site of healing,
even if imperfect,
is yours.

So if you aren't familiar with Monday Made It, you should visit Tara at 4th Grade Frolics. I've browsed other's Monday Made It projects for a couple of years, but this is my first tine to actually participate.
So a couple years ago burlap door hangings were the "rage."(They are still popular) I pinned a couple of similar projects then but never made anything. Well since I'm moving to another school/grade I thought now was as good a time as ever.
I started by finding an owl image on my Gypsy and cut out the layers of the owl with my Cricut. I found this owl on Noah's ABC's cartridge. I then used the layers to create my template and I traced the layers with a sharpie onto the burlap. I cut out two body layers-one for the front and one for the back.
Then came the paint! I started by painting the entire front piece with brown paint that matched the color of the burlap. I let this layer dry overnight, but the acrylic paint dries fairly quickly. I found that it was easier to add other paint layers on top of a painted surface. The burlap absorbs a ton of paint on the initial layer. It was easier to paint the base brown so that when I added the lighter colors on top, it didn't take as much paint.
I also used various cricut and svg files to create the chevron backdrop and the name. I cut these out of plain paper and sprayed adhesive on them. I let them "dry" so that they were tacky and had a temporary bond when using them as stencils.
When all the paint layers were dry, I used a fine paintbrush and black paint to draw the outline lines. I also used a white paint pen to add the "highlight details." I added the wire, bow, and a bunch of spray glitter!
If you have any questions, please let me know. I'm entered into the #cricut #imadeit contest with this also! Thanks for looking!!!

The Phillies Already Won?
Imagine my surprise. To say nothing of Johnny Damon's, and everybody else fortunate enough to be in Philly tonight.
As our NBC station in Philadelphia reports, the Philadelphia Inquirer has not only run an advertisement congratulating the Phils on a second straight Series crown, they've also reported some sort of exchange of Rush Limbaugh for Alex Rodriguez.
As I understand it, they're still trying to reassure Kate Hudson that it really was just a typo.
5 Comments
That's right up there with Dewey Wins! I hope it's just as WRONG!
The Limbaugh component is just gross!
Can someone explain this Charlie Manuel quote please?
"We've blown 22 games from the seventh inning on or something this year. That's got to tell you something about the resilience of our team." Sounds to me like they have blown a slew of games they should have won.
I think Charlie Manuel's comment is pretty clear…
He is simply saying that the Phillies blew 22 games they should have won this year and yet they're still in the World Series. He is implying that the Phillies have blown a couple of games to the Yankees that they should have won and they have a track record of resilience — they manage to win anyway.
Of course they have three more games to win to prove his point and the Yankees only have to win one to deny his point…
But Charlie Manuel is no Yogi Berra.
That Philadelphia Inquirer ad is nothing short of mindboggling. I simply can't think of anything to add to that. @_@

"Bud, who is the President?"
"Barack Obama."
"Right. And who is the Secretary of State?"
"His wife?"
"No, she's the First Lady. The Secretary of State is Hill-"
"Hillary Clinton?"
"She's what?"
"Secretary of State."
And on we went - Vice President, Governor... Then, slyly, I asked, "And who is the best mom in the whole wide world?"
"Mrs. Obama."
"Mrs. Obama? She's the BEST mom in the WHOLE world?"
"Yes. Mrs. Obama."
"Well, who is the second best mom?"
"You, Mom."
I think that's what's known in the business as "payback." But, Bud? I hate to break this to you, honey, but I'll bet Mrs. Obama gives Malia and Sasha pop quizzes a lot more often than I give them to you.
And, Bud?
She also makes them make their own beds.

I'm impressed. I can't even name the senators or governor of my current state. I only know the representative for my home district because everyone I know hates him so much and blames the failings of the universe on him (granted they are probably his fault, but still...).

Stanczyk reported on 11 February 2013 , that the Polish Archives would be posting 2.4 Million scans of church/synagogue metric books on the Internet. The first phase which is due to be complete in March (this month) does not include any scans from Kielce Archive, which means that there will not be metric book scans of my ancestors in the first phase (Let's be hopeful for something in June).
Well what can you do if your ancestors are from SwietoKrzyskie (the area from the old wojewodztwo Kielce)?
The website genealodzy.pl (polish website – some English user interface available) has a project called the Metryk project. Their Genealogical Society's members are scanning metryk records from churches/synagogues. Once the scans are in place, they then index the image into their Geneszukacz databases that are searchable by Name, Event Type (B/M/D), Place. So you have two options Search Geneszukacz by index or scan the available images in Metryk (images are of Latin, Polish, or Russian language church records).
So what is available for SwietoKrzyskie? That information is shown in the above image. For this jester, I go to Buski (aka Busko-Zdroj). There are, as of March 18th, 2013 a total of five parishes that have some scanned records (metryk / aktow).
You can see the five parishes in the image are:
Biechow, Busko-Zdroj, Dobrowoda, Gnojno, Zborowek.
The right most column gives the years for which there are scanned records. For my research, Biechow and Zborowek were the most helpful. What I noticed was the Biechow images were much better than the images that the LDS had microfilmed. See my inventory of Biechow records blog article (19 July 2011).
In fact, I was able to read some records better than previously and correct some of my translations. By the way, if you are researching the same area as Stanczyk, then just click on the 'Powiat buski' image and it will take you to the genealody.pl website for that Buski powiat. So whether you have seen these images before or not, I would encourage you to look again at these quality images in the Metryk Project.
Hey PTG, can you guys PLEASE scan and index: Pacanow, Swiniary, Szczucin, and Stopnica parishes too?
I hope the Polish National Archives will be scanning records in the Kielce Archive for June proszę (please)?

When to go
Sri Lanka's climate is rather complicated for such a small country, due to the fact that the island is affected by two separate monsoons – though this also means that there is usually good weather somewhere on the island, at most times of the year. When thinking about the best time to visit Sri Lanka, it's worth bearing in mind that the basic pattern described below can vary significantly from year to year, and that global warming has disrupted these already complex weather patterns.
The basic rainfall pattern is as follows. The main southwest ("yala") monsoon brings rain to the west and southwest coasts and hill country from April/May to September (wettest from April to June). The less severe northeast ("maha") monsoon hits the east coast from November to March (wettest from November to December); there's also a inter-monsoonal period of unsettled weather preceding the Maha monsoon in October and November during which heavy rainfall and thunderstorms can occur anywhere across the island. In practical terms, this means that the best time to visit the west and south coasts and hill country is from December to March, while the best weather on the east coast is from April/May to September.
Sri Lanka's position close to the Equator means that temperatures remain fairly constant year-round. Coastal and lowland areas enjoy average daytime temperatures of around 26–30°C (often climbing up well into the 30°Cs during the hottest part of the day). Temperatures decrease with altitude, reducing to a temperate 18–22°C in Kandy, and a pleasantly mild 14–17°C in Nuwara Eliya and the highest parts of the island – nights in the hills can be quite chilly, with temperatures sometimes falling close to freezing. Humidity is high everywhere, rising to a sweltering ninety percent at times in the southwest, and averaging sixty to eighty percent across the rest of the island.

Beşiktaş missed the opportunity for moving first place as a leader. During the week that Beşiktaş rivals' were drawn, they could move up to first place.
The first goal of the match was scored by Ümit Korkmaz from Ç. Rizespor at 48th minute. After goal, Rizespor show defensive approach as expected.

4E 'Going back to her roots'.

Bon Voyage Joe. Really enjoyed that post. 4E looking great with the new wheel house. Safe passage.
Thanks all for the good wishes, weather is good for trip out tomorrow but big problem ......camera out of action and being repaired !!! Phones will have to fill in. Photos of the "star" are already appearing so I have lifted this one from Vossies site and reccomend you all to look- in an odd time ,
Have a great weekend,
A little short on the photo side this week as mentioned, the camera is out of action, a few from the phone to fill in and this one from Friday evening on the way up. The crowd at the lock at Charlemont were 4E's biggest audience to date and with a few rounds of applause during the operation were all good natured on a lovely sunny evening. The Dublin tradition of making a collection for the driver would definitely be worth introducing here.
Portobello was the overnight and an early start the following morning for us and the four boats got us along the system quite smartly. The two Micks , Andrew, Alan,John and WI crew were all toiling away for us and others joined at different points. Our sincere thanks to you all.
I had 4E in Dublin in1983 and this trip is her fourth in eleven years to the Dublin IWAI Rally. The system is rapidly improving and "downtown boating" comes highly reccomended from us.
We stuck at our task and finished up in Hazelhatch which allowed us a lie-in on Sunday before dropping back to the basin to enjoy the festival. Our thanks to Dublin Branch for a great rally, WI for the facilitiy and help in and out and of course all the photographers and lock key winders who assisted with a smile.
A few early morning bridge pics to finish,
Large gap as can be seen ( new camera !) but out at the Hatch to do some welding on a little war wound from Saturday and am grateful for the electricity to accomplish it. This oldie from 1986 in the depths of Winter show Snark with Schollevar behind and 45m with 4E outside.
This from today with 4E placed to take aboard an o/b engine to go with the wee boat 68M is bringing from town to be transhipped at the Hatch.
And finally threading her way through the boats meeting and chatting to old friends to a berth at the western end of things. There is something special about telling them about Dublin and the rally.
Yes I am leaving gaps! This is 68M on her way out of town with mixed cargo for 4E at Hazelhatch.

[attachment 3456 img042.jpg]
Hi Joe,
The boat/blob along the right hand bank past 4E would be Blackthorn and if I recall correctly, the smoke is coming from the chimney of Williams and Woods just beyond 45M
This is an aerial view of the 13th lock in the Spring of 1982. 4E is nearer with light grey topsides at the point she was brought to in January of the previous year, 17B "The Owl" on the other bank. Hans and Catherine were living on the Owl and were excellent neighbours. The red VW belonged to them and there were about a dozen boats based there.
The house was the millers house with the remains in the background of Shackeltons Mill which relocated to the 12th lock Lucan after an explosion in the late 1800's. The lovely Miss Rollinson was living in the house at the time and loved to stand at her gate and chat to passers by. The little lane-way up to the point where 4E was moored was named "Tancred's Lane" at the end of which Jimmy Tancred the postman lived with his mother. The other residents here were "Longboat Tyrell" and his family in the lockhouse.
An early pic of conversion with the Mk. 1 wheelhouse framed up. The derilict behind was around for a few years but with boat numbers building up the abandoned boat problem never blighted this lovely spot.
A few of the boats that spent time here were - Chang Sha, Hein Goodwind, Maisric, Mary Kate, Knocklyon Belle and many more.
The 13th being a double was very handy for the occasional dry-docking, and this is 4E in the chamber to allow the fitting of shaft and prop. Her first propellor in my care was cast in Athy foundry.
4E with Chang Sha behind and the Owl on the southern bank. The cab of 33M can be seen. CIE were carrying out a big dredging campaign in the Dublin area and all their drag-line boats were in the area.
These are the ultimate before and after boat pictures so when 4E spends a night at the 13th for old times sake, I will put up some pictures of the scene thirty one years later,
PS have a good safe weekend on the water wherever you are.
Looks like a busy weekend on canals all over and have to admit mine was one of my best. Left Hazelhatch on Friday evening for the 13th lock. This picture of Lyons House as I passed is a different scene from thirty years ago when it was used for animal research and the land had lots of sheep and cattle. Aeroplane millionaires changed the whole area.
Into the double chambered 13th lock to become the interval act of a wedding. It still amazes me the amount of Dubliners who have never seen a lock operate or understand its purpose.
Once out of the lock 4E was moored where she was converted in 1981 and from where she left in 1987 to spend some years in Killaloe. The complete lack of boats and the harsh stone walls on the estate side put me off spending the night - a spot on the canal which has dis-improved.
Joined by 68M and 4B the three ladies travelled together for a few miles and locks. This shot from under Devonshire Bridge looking west with 68 in the 14th lock chamber (Mc Creaveys lock).
The pair of us out of the 15th lock.
My destination was Sallins and the harbour opposite Odlums Mill is always available to us.
The "Boatmens Re-union" was set for Sunday and a few yarns and tit bits of history will always be offered by these guys so for anyone tracing canal history it is the circle to get in to.
This one from my collection was taken in Killaloe in 1994 when a group came arround to be photographed on "Joe Kanes Boat".
The photo above has the late Paddy Kane ( second from left ) who was the nephew of Joe Kane who owned 4E until 1955. Below at the Boatmens Reunion is Pat Kane, Paddy's son and a grand-nephew of Joe Kane.
The function itself was a great affair and the tales of bargees got taller and taller. Highlight for many was the showing of a film of the first re-union held in Robertstown in 1986.
The following morning a few passengers joined us and shortly after leaving Sallins we crossed the Leinster Aquaduct over the River Liffey.
A fleet of WI work boats as we approach Digby Bridge and Lock 16.
Under the bridge and into the chamber, the stone giving the date of 1794, amazing structures and still in use.
The Landenstown stretch above Lock 17 is where we come accross the sad looking 31M. In 1925 she was the first in the modern "M" series and obviously was a big step for the company to improve and upgrade its fleet. 4E was one of the horse boats which had an engine fitted and served the company as 23M from 1913 until 1935 when sold to Joe Kane who operated her as 111B. Hopefully the rather special 31M will have a future.
The small lift of Lock 18 will get us onto the Grand Canal summit level and with the help of a couple of generations of canal families and the glorious weather, this entry into "Joe Kane" country is a glorious event.
We played the good Samaritan from Cock Bridge to Robertstown - what boating should be about and 4E has been the beneficiary many times.
This is the point on the map where the the now abandoned Blackwood Feeder stretched westwards. 4E lay at this spot unused from 1950 until 1955 when a pencilled entry on a list of boats on the system states "purchased by CIE for £200 in October 1955".
Above and below, passing under Healys Bridge with the line of the Blackwood Feeder stretching away in the distance.
This spot always meant a lot to me as it is where 4E lay at the end of her trading days . A tidy up and over to the Royal Canal in Longford to spend some years doing maintenance duties lay ahead. The Royal closure left her abandoned and passing into the hands of Robertstown Muintir Na Tire. In October 1980 my dream began.
The dream below has given a huge amount of pleasure and this trip has filled in the personal gaps in her story. Gracious thanks to all who were part of it and my pride is being for a time the custodian of such a lady,
thank you all,
Excellent Joe. Thanks for posting. Personally very nostalgic for you I am sure.
Thanks Noel,
looking back on it makes me think it was a guided tour of canals but my main objective was historical background. Leaving a barge in the Ballyncargy/Abbeyshrule area for six or seven weeks and returning to it at weekends really paid off for me. The people I met along the way were very helpful and of course great praise to WI staff for making the trip possible. Dublin Branch IWAI are the unsung heroes in my opinion, through their help and encouragement, use of the city section of the canals is improving yearly.
I will complete a green and silver in Shannon Harbour so it has been an amazing twelve months.
A few highlight pics below and I must thank the "real" cameramen who gave me some wonderful shots,

Hi all,
I just couldn't resist this postscript with the "Europeans" on at the moment, this is a "Joxer goes to Stuttgart" type story.
The photo above was posted by me in September last on this thread and shows an abandoned kitten that was rescued in Abbeyshrule and adopted by a boating family from Dublin's Northside. "Abbi" was the centre of attention, even appearing on Vossies blog and got the "big failte romhat fraulien" treatment by everyone.
Just like Joxer's fraulien who knocked on a door in Inchicore months later, Abbi has produced a bigger story.

To Tell the Truth (again)
Risks Worth Taking (most of the time)
Sometimes You're the Windshield and Sometimes You're the Bug!
We think you all know we are passionate about the beer we make. We also know you know we go to some pretty extraordinary lengths to make your experience drinking our beer special. So, when something goes awry (think Black Butte XXII) we are extremely disappointed but take comfort we can recover simply looking forward to the next triumph.
Well, 2010 was a year of ups and downs. We had fabulous triumphs in competitions all over the world with four medals at the Great American Beer Festival and Mirror Pond Pale Ale taking gold in the English style Pale Ale category. Additionally Red Chair NWPA has been named the World's Best Beer at the World Beer Awards in London with six other beers named best in America and the world in their styles. All in all our beers took home 82 significant awards in competitions around the world in 2010! .
But, we also had the Black Butte XXII issue and we have had recurring comments about sour 2009 The Abyss. Now, we have similar comments about 2009 Mirror Mirror. We have been very forthright and outspoken about 2009 The Abyss and we are here to report we, basically, have the same issue with 2009 Mirror Mirror. Gary clarified the issue on Ratebeer.com recently:
We have detected in our lab a similar condition to The Abyss 2009 where some (not all) of the bottles have brett in them. It is interesting in that there seems no way to tell short of general tendencies in storage conditions where the brett will develop to sensory detection levels.
At Deschutes Brewery we take these things seriously. We know many of the wine barrels we use will have brettanomyces (wild yeast that produces flavors that are not desired in some beer styles) in them (just ask any winemaker). Going forward, we have purchased a flash pasteurizer and all beer from barrels is now pasteurized (killing the brettanomyces) before it is blended with beer from tanks (that is not pasteurized). Then the final blend is bottle conditioned so all beer is alive when you get it. 2010 The Abyss was treated this way.
As for the Mirror Mirror or 2009 The Abyss, we will refund and arrange shipment for unopened bottles back to the brewery. As with any of our beers if someone has an unsatisfactory experience, we will make it right. Unfortunately, we cannot compensate for above market pricing paid over the internet or other "extra-market" sources, nor can we send a replacement beer in lieu of payment. Suffice it to say, however, we stand behind our beer and the experiences we deliver. You can contact us directly through our website.
So, we know how to make beer, really good beer, right? But not everything goes the way we want it when we are so frequently far out over our skis with some of the projects we undertake. This is how progress, real progress is made, as well as the beer you really love. We will go to extraordinary lengths to insure mistakes don't or can't happen in our processes.
We know we no longer get the "pass" we might have gotten when we were smaller. We are rightfully expected to produce exceptional beers every time, not every other. Nonetheless, you can be confident when you buy one of our beers that your experience will be what you want it to be or we will make it right. If we know it's not going to be right we will withhold product as we did with Black Butte XXII (something some people are still pissed about) at the cost of significant economic hardship. If the product gets into the market and the issue does not show up for over a year and the problem is not consistently found in all product, we will do what we can to honor the trust you place in us. That is the most valuable thing we have and what we have spent the past 23 years building.
Thanks for all your passion and support.
Gary Fish, Founder/President
Larry Sidor, Brewmaster

A whole lotta thoughts
.....I'm all over Travis Snider this spring. All over the dude. You'll recall me recently bringin' the hyperbole over the phenom's attitude heading into camp, but actions do indeed speak louder than words. Well, The Future strolled into camp in (apparently) great shape, and has tweaked his batting stance - something suggested last season but ignored. Opposite field fury, now coachable too!
.....This can't be overstated: Shaun Marcum's refusal to don the new BP cap for spring workouts is the stuff of legend. Never mind the bullshit and debate - that's your opening day starter.
.....So what's all this about the Jays interest in Cuban defector Jose Julio Ruiz anyway? A left handed hitting first baseman with gap power? Sound familiar? I suppose if he can be shifted to left field, a signing might makes sense. Consider me "intrigued".
.....Rumored interest in fellow Cuban SS Adeiny Hechevarria might make more sense. Of course, I know nothing of the talent either of these fellas possess, so there you go. But hey, I'm willing to buy into any and all hype around a potential "shortstop of the future".
.....via Drunk Jays Fans, I like the cut of Alan Ashby's jib. Seems the team's radio colour guy, like many of us, cannot for the life of him understand (or get behind) another year of The Manager. Last season, I happened to be listening to the radio broadcast (which is a miracle in & of itself, since radio coverage "out here" sucks) the day news broke of the clubhouse dissent. Still in a state of shock (where the fuck did that come from?), I was even more surprised to hear Alan & Jerry talking about the situation....of which they seemed anything but surprised. We'll know Ashby's true feelings if we hear him referring to "Clarence Gaston" at any point this season. Boo-ya.
.....At least Brian Dopirak's name is getting a token mention of being involved in a spring battle. Of course, it's a competition for a spot with fellow underdog and blogger fave Randy Ruiz for about 150 AB's. It's true what they say about backup quarterbacks, but when you've experienced Kevin Millar as your starter, it's an understandable position to take.
.....Baseball Prospectus goodness: "Youkilis isn't much fun to watch for non-Red Sox fans. he's an ugly, sweaty, man-beast with a pale, bald pate and a fondness for overgrown facial hair, he's got one of the game's most irritating batting stances, and he's a grade-A red-ass who takes particular exception to being pitched inside while standing on top of home plate (most recently trying to Oddjob Rick Porcello with his batting helmet following an HBP)."
Truth! I'll skip the next few sentences of the profile which go on to describe him as essentially one of the most valuable players in the game (also true). Why would I transcribe that?

... Nomar, Boggs, Mo Vaughn, Ortiz, Youk, Pedroia, Beckett, Schilling ...
it's been a string of a-holes for the Sox. I don;t know if the city turns them into raging d-bags or if the team has a metric for that when scouting (his vinegar rating was +1.5 last year!)

Mike, I think it is more that every minuscule detail of the Red Sox is covered as a major story. Nobody cared that Carl Everett was an effing nut in Houston because he was in Houston.

That might be the best Youk description ever.
As ridiculous as it may sound, I miss reading this blog on a daily basis. Top notch stuff, as always, Ack. I hope everyone around these parts is doing well.
And, a favour: could someone please expand on the Marcum/BP hat story? Thanks.
- February 28, 2010 at 4:36 AM
- The Ack said...
eyeb, glad to hear you are well. Thanks for the words.
No real story, I don't think....we've just been noticing that in all the spring photos (daylife!), Marcum stands out for wearing his gamer instead of the racing stripes BP model.
