So I have decided to try out a completely new format on YouTube, and make vicious commentary on German trending/viral videos in English to showcase that German YouTube is just as bad as its English counterpart. Let me know what you think please :) Peace!

Post a Comment
I have a thick skin, so go ahead if you feel like criticizing, but if you keep going on and on about details of carnal relations you claim to have had with my mother your comment will be removed.
I guess what I'm saying is that you can express your opinion, just try to do so in a constructive or at least moderately respectful manner, otherwise the comment section is just going to go to shit and I'll be forced to close it, seeing as I will definitely not be moderating it if unwanted/spam/bullshit comments keep coming...
If you can not behave, the possibility of commenting here will disappear, that's as simple as it is.

When ever we meet other dogs Leo always greats them with the same wagging tail and sniffing all the right bits.......unless the other dog is a schnauzer.
For some reason when ever we meet this breed of dog Leo becomes quite agitated and growls and barks!
It happened again last week when we were out for a walk. The schnauzer we met immediately started to growl and bark back but in fairness to him Leo started it!
I dont know why he's like this with this breed of dog. We've never had issues with schnauzers, never been attacked by one or had any bad experiences...it doesnt make sense.
I have friends and even my hairdresser who come to the house with their dogs (not schnauzers) and Leo is always so pleased to meet and greet them.
Anyone got any ideas?

"Even If It Breaks Your Heart" - Eli Young Band
It doesn't get easier. You just learn how to live with it.
Dreamy Lovin,'
I've got to go back and take a closer look at the pics...but it looks like you are having fun! 8 dpo for me here...and already getting impatient. I woke up nauseated last night and I've had lots of pinchy pully feeling yesterday and today and a few sharp twinges yesterday...hoping it means something. Thinking of you and praying this is IT for you guys :-)
I hope your week isn't full of crazies!! I really hope that this cycle is THE cycle. I am always thinking and praying that you get to the other side of this soon!!!
You are so much better than me getting out and the heat and running, I don't run even when it is nice out! I can only imagine how hot you and your Mom must of been but it looks like you had a great reward waiting for you! I am hoping and praying for you that this time around all will go well. I think the progesterone is a good thing as it doesn't hurt anything even if you didn't need it. It looks like you had an awesome week and I hope it just keeps getting better for you. Have a wonderful week and keep us posted. BIG HUGS!
You and your momma are SO cute! I love how much time y'all are spending outdoors soaking up the sunshine together...and treating yourselves to Mexican food afterwards :). Yum!! And your cowboy boots???? To die for! You know this Texas girl loves them!! That food looks so good and the fireworks shots are awesome...I want your photog skills! Looks like y'all had a wonderful 4th, pretty lady!!!!
Girl, you have more friends than I have acquaintances. You are always having a ton of fun in your pics. Bravo for you to be out running/walking in this heat. It is 106 here today. It takes too much energy to even open the front door. Bravo for your mom to be so active and fit too. I wouldn't be able to go eat at a rest if I had just ran or walked 8 miles.
Continuing to pray for you girlie!! Don't keep us guessing (or at least me)!!!!!! LOL!!
What great pictures!!! And bravo to you for those 8 miles and in the heat! Whew....I almost pass out walking to the mailbox!
I have to say that my heart stopped at the sweet picture of you holding the baby; and the thought consumed me that you will be holding your baby just like that one day. I feel as if the Lord was telling me to tell you to not give up hope, to hold on with everything that you have and to keep trusting in him as you have been doing. One day your sweet baby will be in your arms.
Keep pushing forward, Maria. Your dream is right around the corner.
Hi Maria,
Wow! Wow! Wow! You write such inspirational and real posts. The quotation " It doesn't get easier. You just learn to live with it is so true." I admire your spirit. Keep on keeping on and live with hope. The pictures are oh so beautiful as always. I note that you did a photography course. That is wonderful and you already take such awesome shots. You certainly have a cool mom. I like her determination to keep running and it is good that you get to join her. I need to start running too. I do exercise but some running would do me a world of good. It is also very hot here. I keep looking at a little thermometer that Janine and I have had for over 30 years and it continues to work!:) I did a post about it last Thursday. I remember you always in my prayers and know that things are going to work out for you. A special person like you will make a great mom! Take care and remember that you have a lot of us rooting for you. You are never alone on this journey. Keep the faith and have a very good week.
Lots of Love, friendship and best wishes always!
You and your mom are crazy! lol I imagine myself running one day, runners are always so fit!
A photography class is also on my to do list, the ones here run weekly and so far they've been on days I can't commit to :(
I hope this next week flies by for you and hope you've had a good weekend! <3 oxo V
It always amazes me how you keep up your faith! You are such an amazing person. I know only too well how this can wear you down and I think it's wonderful how you refuse to let it control your life, yet you still honor your feelings!!! I adore you! Sending so many good thoughts, wishes and prayers!!! Much love!
That song has been on my mind all week, It must be for you!
This is a dream that is going to come true ((hugs)).
It looks like you had an awesome holiday! The pics, as always, are amazing!
Try not to go crazy (I know sometimes completely out of your control). I've got everything crossed and will keep you in my prayers.
I hope you have a great week!
The days are more happy than sad, that is so so good. When do you think you will test?
Maria, I have spent the past 45 minutes reading through your blog. You truly are amazing, without a doubt. I am glad that you commented on my guest post so I could find your blog. You are beautiful and I will be praying for you and Steve.
P.s. please let me know if you need any toilet paper! haha ;)
Wow! 8 miles! You guys rock.
That mexican food looked amazing but I think I am too lazy to walk that far for even that! hehehe....
Sounds like you had good week and happy fourth! I am so glad!
I hope the "crazies" don't get the best of you this week.
I will be praying (still) !
It looks like you have been having so much fun! :) Your Mexican food pictures always make me hungry, even if I just ate! lol I love your fireworks pictures. How fun! We only saw them from a distance this year. Our city cancelled them due to all the wildfires here in Colorado. A couple nearby towns had them, which is what we saw from a distance. Thoughts and prayers with you still. Hoping for good news!!!
Awe, you and your mama are adorable! That's awesome that you guys are so close. I miss my mom a ton...Glad you had a great weekend. I'm sure it helps to pass the time during the long wait until testing, spending time with great friends and family. I am praying for you!
You really have been busy! I love that you have such a great relationship with your mom, it's such a a special one to have :) I wish I lived on the other side of PA, you and Kelly are always up to something fun and the photography class sounded like it really taught you a lot (I still need to learn how to use my long lens too).
Thinking of you, especially in the next week to come!
Seriously? That's your mom! Sure she is not your sister? You both are just darling. And can I say how much I love that picture of you sitting on the curb with your cowboy boots? Keep on going. Move forward with faith and remember you are LOVED :) Have a great week!
Seriously?! 8.25 miles? That is terrific, and apparently not a new thing for you. I have a question though - where is the restaurant in relation to your start point/car? Was the trail a loop?
I love the fireworks pictures. Looks like a fun evening!
Once again...Great pictures! You are always having a good time. And Yes....it doesn't get easier, you ust learn to live with it {isnt that the truth}. You and your mom are so cute goofing around with the camera.

Sorry I've been so MIA from your bloggity blog blog <3
So good to be back! I've missed you! I actually haven't kept up with any bloggy friends in the past couple of months but would stop by yours occasionally to see how your road to pregnancy was going.
I am keeping my fingers crossed! I need a full recap post of everything. I will try to back-track but don't want to have missed anything.
I have been thinking of you! I know that you will be such a good momma and I am keeping my fingers crossed!!
XOXO... hugs to you, Steve and the kitties!

You and your mom have inspired me and my mom to go to a track! we are treadmill kinda girls but this weekend we are going to hit a track! :) and I think we may have to have Mexican food afterward as well! lol!

Thinking of you!!!
Wow! You and your mom look alike. She looks awesome! I love Mexican. I might just go 8 miles for Mexican! Looks like you are keeping your spirits up. Prayers for you guys!
I love love love you Maria!! I adored this post, your pics and your positive spirit and all your awesome quirkiness lol
You guys have so much fun all the time!! And my gosh, you ladies are fit!!!!!! I'm exhausted just thinking about it :)
I hope the week is ok for you...no crazies or anything. I'm keeping prayers of hope for you and Steve as always. Your pics are beautiful as always.
Mostly, I wanted to say this----I wonder if you truly know just how many people you inspire with your positive energy and spirit. You are a blessing. A natural beauty. I should share with you that you have a new fan over here at the Carter's. It seems that for the last few weeks when I pull up others posts to read and comment and get to yours, my daughter finds her way over to the computer and has been asking me to scootch (spelling???) over because she wants to read and look at your blog. She is not a blogger but an admirer. She has become a silent fan of yours. = )
With love and prayers,
Irish (and Maddi)
Love how close you and your mom are!! So special! Looks like a fun week! Xoxo

Ok i am pondering getting some snow kites before the next snow season starts and well i should start looking for a deal now, right?
OK i am 160#, what kite(s) should i buy to pretty much cover me on the snow. I'd like to only have to buy 2. I really think foil is the only way to go so i am not that interested in a reverse launching tube kite. (although i have not tried them i will keep a little bit of an open mind here.)
what are the average real world wind ranges for

The Musical Comptroller
History | Hugh McCulloch | Abraham Lincoln | Notable Comptrollers | Bank Examiners | National Bank Vignettes
In the list of great and near-great Americans who served as Comptroller of the Currency, none stands out more than Charles G. Dawes. Of distinguished lineage – his ancestors had been among the founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony – Dawes was only 33 years old when President William McKinley named him the 10th Comptroller in 1897.
For Dawes, the OCC was the first in what was to be a long series of public positions that included the vice presidency of the United States under Calvin Coolidge and the U.S. ambassadorship to Great Britain. In recognition of his work to promote global economic recovery after World War I, Dawes was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
But his first love was music. Visitors to his Chicago-area home would often find him at the piano, plunking out tunes and making up a few himself. He was particularly proud of a melody in the key of A, which he shared one day in 1911 with a musician-friend. Some months later, strolling down State Street, he was shocked to see in the window of a music shop "a poster size picture of myself, my name plastered all over the window in large letters and the window space entirely filled with the sheet music."
The tune had become a hit – much to Dawes's consternation. He was afraid he'd be taken less seriously as a banker and politician. It made him wince when the tune was played to greet him during campaign stops for the vice presidency. But music has a life of its own, and Dawes's "Melody" has had a long life in various guises: as a cadenza in the repertoire of classical violinist Fritz Kreisler, in versions for orchestra, and with lyrics and a new title "It's All in the Game," as a number-one hit song for vocalist Tommy Edwards in 1958.
Listen to it on the Internet. And when you do, think about the Comptroller who wrote it.

This is a cute and simple cake to make for Thanksgiving. Kids love the colorful Twizzler tail feathers. Made using a ready-made poundcake, it's a snap when you're short on time.
Items needed:
- Pound Cake
- Chocolate Icing
- Rainbow Twizzlers
- Small Reese's peanut butter cup (or other candy or vanilla wafer for head) (optional)
- Candy Corn
- Orange M&Ms
- Cut a 1 inch slice of pound cake from the very center of the cake, so you will have a large slice. Lay this down on your plate for the body. Note that everything is laid out before icing begins.
- Cut two more slices, about ¾ inch wide, one from each side of cake for large slices. Cut into tail feathers. We used only 6 but you could use 7 or 8. Set in place.
- Cut two legs, a little smaller than your tail feathers and then cut a round head, if you are not using candy/cookie for the head. Set these all in place.
- For ease of icing, although it is a little tricky, we iced each section individually on a piece of waxed paper ... removing carefully by placing a butter knife underneath and lifting up.
- Start with the body first. Move other sections off to side until they are iced. Attach each piece as soon as it is iced.
- Cut twizzers to fit tail feathers. We used two pieces per tail feather. Then add twizzlers to top of legs.
- Add candy corn as beak, attaching with icing. Attach eyes and gobbler.

Holy crap, you guys. HBO has just put together the most awesome 15 seconds ever to tease Game of Thrones season 3. It sucks we have to wait until March 31, 2013 for the premiere, but as long as HBO keeps us excited by releasing stuff like this, no matter how irritatingly short, hopefully it'll be well worth the wait. It better be! Winter is coming!
Okay, so it's unfortunate in the sense that the teaser actually gives absolutely nothing away, but what did you expect? It's still enough to geek out about, even though it's just some narration and graphics. Womp womp.
But luckily for you, there are no spoilers ahead ... because HBO designed it that way, it seems. So, no fear, if you watch the teaser, nothing will be revealed (by producers or by me) if you click about the crazy, nausea-inducing plots we can look forward to for next season.
Here it is!
To break it down, some disembodied female voice says, "The great war is between death and life, ice and fire." Then three swords (the third book is called Storm of Swords, after all), as they impale the GoT logo, transforms into the premiere date, which is way too far away for fans. She continues: "If we lose, the night will never end."
Shit just got real. She has to be talking about the upcoming potential war with the White Walkers, right? Or think it could be something else? And an FYI, if you click on over to the direct YouTube link, be careful not to read the spoiler-y comments!
But the big question remains: Whose voice is it? Most outlets have said it isn't Melisandre or the other female leads and are leaning toward Selyse Baratheon (Stannis Baratheon's wife) or Quaithe, the weird masked woman from the Shadow Lands. We may never find out -- but still, psyched for season 3! Kudos to you, HBO. Keep the teasers coming!
Who do you think is speaking? Are you psyched for Game of Thrones season 3?

Random Shounen Manga Journal Time! Bleach - I find the new explanation for Ichigo's powers convoluted and pulled straight out of Kubo's ass. But because I'm a whore, I want to see what Ichigo can do with his new sword(s). The Breaker: New Waves - there's a reason this is one of my current favorite series. It's extremely common to see a male MC struggle mightily like this, but Shioon is good at it. I'm glad he's finally relevant again.
Beelzebub - I stopped reading at chapter 40 or so. Is it good?
Bleach - I find every single thing that has happened in Bleach over the last 3 maybe 4 arcs to be completely stupid. Even the stuff that makes sense is done in a context so mind-numbingly poor that it just makes things feel cheap. That being said, even though it is stupid, it sometimes works on a visceral or emotional level that I can enjoy well reveling in the ridiculous aesthetic(BLACK! EVEYWHERE!). For me this reveal was none of those things. I really, really liked this reveal. Firstly, it re-contextualizes a number of fights that Ichigo had and makes them more interesting, (that's why Ichigo didn't die? that explains his "resolve") while still keeping the main thrust of those fights the same. Secondly, I like how it goes about giving Ichigo ALL OF THE POWERS in a way that makes sense in relation to the series. Thirdly, I was actually blown away by the fact that Zangetsu looks like Juhabach. Finally, I too want to see what his sword looks like.Yes, it's contrived, but I felt it was additive. Or maybe Kubo has just brainwashed me.
So his defeat of Aizen where he was so powerful Aizen couldn't even sense him? Just the tiny portion of Ichigo's power that fake-getsu couldn't contain. Ichigo is and probably always has been the single most powerful person in the series, why? Because he worked hard? Nope, just because he was born more powerful than anyone else.
I only read Bleach because I'm caught up and reading a new chapter takes 5 minutes of my week (plus I like crazy Spanish-German-Japanese wordplay). It's not really one of my favorites anymore, but I'll keep up with it and see it through to the end; I could say the same for Naruto, HSDK, and Gantz. At least Naruto seems to be moving towards a final confrontation.
Eren got better. It's bad enough that it was a fake death, but it was a really important death. It established that the titans don't give damn whether your some mook or a hot blooded shonen protagonist, they're gonna kill ya. I'd be fine if he just stayed a titan, since at least then there were still consequences and he was a terrible, if ripped, monster. Human again with a free limb regeneration? That's bullshit.
I have to give the author credit for ending the previous volumes in such a way that there were actually numerous, completely plausible directions he could have gone in the final arc. It's a great way to sell books, after all. Even so, I really didn't expect him to go the direction he did.I don't know, Kyousuke obviously cared about his sister a lot and for her part Kirino wasn't really as tsun as she acted, but at the end of the day I still always saw them as family. In the past they had a falling out and over the course of the books they managed to reconcile a bit and be more honest with each other. But that doesn't mean they had [i]romantic[/i] feelings for each other. There's nothing wrong with family getting along better. No matter how much Kyousuke doted on Kirino I always interpreted that as just him being a nosy older brother. Honestly, I kind of thought that was one of the main points of this story! That life isn't an ero-game and one shouldn't automatically interpret things in a perverted way.Apparently I was wrong.Honestly, the fact that Kyousuke and Kirino started dating for real shocked me. It seemed like the least-plausible coupling to me. But nope, the author went there and went there big. Then I started to half-expect (OK, maybe more than half) an 11th hour Kyousuke-was-adopted-and-they're-not-really-blood-related reveal. It's not like the possibility hadn't been hinted at before and it seemed like the only possible way this could end well. But nope, they're honest-to-god siblings. Probably for the best, since that kind of twist would have been incredibly trite.But it just makes the whole thing...uncomfortable. What's even the message of this story anymore, I don't know. At least they have enough sense to call it off at the very end, realizing that this isn't something they can do forever. But the final ending doesn't really resolve anything, and of course pleases none of the shippers (not that the author should necessarily be trying to please shippers...). It was awkward, uncomfortable, and inconclusive.But, I guess at least somewhat realistic and certainly not like an ero-game. So I guess that's something.
^ What surprise? It's practically in the title. =/But yeah, I know what you mean.

One Day After DC Police Told Not To Interfere With Citizens Recording Them... Police Seize Man's Phone
from the but-of-course dept
It appears that some police officers didn't read the memo.
As noted by Ars Technica, the day after the policy was announced, a police officer seized a guy's camera for recording police activities. They did eventually give the phone back but kept the memory card and the guy is pissed off because the card supposedly has hundreds of photos of his daughter on there.
The DC police say that they're "looking into" the report. It would be nice to see them follow up on their original policy statement with a clear rebuke of the officers involved.

Acceptances, Denials, and Waitlists / Marquette or Chicago-Kent« on: December 19, 2013, 08:54:42 AM »
Looking for some help here! I have been admitted to both and am looking for a good education while avoiding the politics of back stabbing and sabotaging fellow class mates. I love Chicago, but Marquette being the only school in Milwaukee makes the job market, although much smaller, slightly less competitive. But living I am from Chicago and know that Kent has a decent reputation and staying in my city would also be awesome. Also Marquette is slightly cheaper as well as cost of living is less. Where should I go?
Hopefully someone can help.
Hopefully someone can help.

Welcome to the Center for Oak Ridge Oral History
Louise Freels
I live in a huge big two story house with no electricity, no water, four rooms upstairs and four rooms downstairs with a porch that went all the way around it where we could ride our tricycles and pull the wagon if it was raining when we were little. It was located almost in the center of Scarboro, right across from the Gristmill and down the hill from Holbrimers grocery store. About a half a mile from the Scarboro School on down Bethel Valley where the school is now. We walked to school and walked back. It was 8th, and I went eight years there and then two years to Robertsville high school. Bus, a home made bus had no windows in it and had a curtain if it rained. I don't know the name of the bus, but Jim Piet operated it. He'd take us to our ball games. I played basketball, and he'd take us to the ball games in that old bus. We played at Wheat High School and went to Oliver Springs and went to Clinton and Andersonville and Lake City and— . That's about all the high schools that were in Anderson County at that time. We won some and lost some.
Well it was; we had a telephone because we had a central office there in Scarboro, and you could ring the phone. We didn't dial; we just rung it and dialed the central office, and if you wanted to call Knoxville they'd call Knoxville for you and hook you up to where you could talk. And then as I told you we had a well on the back porch, and several of the families came to get drinking water from the well otherwise we got it from the creek which came from springs up—. And our wash days was a black kettle at the back of the house. We carried water to wash, and most of the time hung our clothes on the fence, and our job at that time was to wash the overalls. Mama would lay the overalls on the porch and give us the broom and put some of Grandmas Freels homemade soap on them, and we'd scrub them. Then she would wrench them, but we did the washing of the overalls with the broom. In the kitchen we had to carry stove wood in for the fire. That was our job at night time to get the stove wood in.
Well daddy had a little post office in the corner of the house, and he had his desk and his, I don't know what you call it where he routed his mail by box numbers, and he carried the mail there through New Hope down Bear Creek Valley and came on through by Robertsville and went on by Robertsville and across Pine Ridge onto Bethel Valley Road and back up to the house. And the other mail route Mr. Johnson, he would bring the mail to daddy from Edgemoor post office. The train would leave the mail off there, and he would bring daddy's mail to him, and then when he got ready to go back, Mr. Johnson would come pick his mail up and taking back to the Edgemoor post office. And then Aunt Helen, my Aunt then, was the mail lady then, and she would take it out and put it on an arm at the little depot there, and the train would pass by it and wouldn't have to stop just reach out that arm and get the mail sack and take it in, and that was our mail. But if the creeks were up or anything like that daddy—we didn't have a car, he went by horse back or he had a cart that he would pull. He didn't have to cross the creek to deliver the mail in the boxes, and sometimes the creek there at New Hope would be up and he couldn't get across it, and he'd have to come back home.
I belonged to Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and we'd all go to Sunday school and church once a month at it, and then at night time on Sunday night the young people would gather from Scarboro around, and we would walk and go to New Hope, and other young people from around New Hope at other communities would gather there too. It was sort of a gathering place. Preacher Hightower would preach. He was the one that didn't have any hands, and it was just to get together, I mean, a lot of it was. Then we'd all walk back home, be back. Sometimes we'd have a lantern with us. Somebody would take a lantern if it was one of the dark nights because we didn't have any—nobody had a car, and if you did you wouldn't dare take it, drive it. So I remember going to church over there on Sunday night.
Over at the New Hop Church every Sunday night we would attend church services just to get to be with the young people or have somewhere to go, but then it was an active church, and I don't know how often, we had dinner over there, but practically all the people around in Scarboro even though they didn't attend New Hope Church would go to dinner. They would take food and enjoy the companionship of the neighbors because in the New Hope Valley they were scattered pretty far apart, and daddy knew them all because he carried the mail down that valley there, Bear Creek and through there, and he knew all the people. So we'd always go to the lunch and dinners that they had. Pretty well kept up with all the neighbors and everything at New Hope, but it was an active church. As far as any young peoples meetings and things like that, we didn't have. We didn't have that at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church even because there just wasn't any way to get there at night time. People didn't have cars and didn't have transportation and no lights. Walk, we would walk. Wouldn't be any cars pass so we'd stay right in the middle of the road. But nearly all the young people, there were several young people around in the Scarboro community, we'd all walk together and go to New Hope, and we'd all walk back
The Freels Bend Cabin in the Freels Bend where it got it' name from Isaac Freels. He had inherited a lot of, probably a land grant that inherited about 1,000 acres down in through there from Uncle John Jones place to Gallaher's Ferry down there. I don't know that any of the Freels ever lived in this cabin, but at one time it was owned by the Freels, and my grandpa Freels, William A. Freels, inherited from his father about 100 acres, and then one of his sisters or cousins one inherited a farm, and grandpa bought it from her. So he had when Oak Ridge took over he had two big farms and Freels Bend. And one of them joined the cabin, the land that went with the cabin. And we'd go down there in the summer time and mother would take a picnic, and we'd go down to the river. It was a river then. We'd go out in the skiff and hunt mussels for pearls. That was our recreation I guess on a Sunday afternoon. But the cabin at one time; I forget who it was that lived in it. I believe the Johnsons lived in it. I'm not sure. It was big house. A house had been built over the cabin, and they tore all that down, and then UT helped to revise the cabin and restore it or whatever needed to be done, and it's in the record book now I think of historic homes. But I don't think any of the Freels every lived there, but we certainly had a party in it. To get to the Freels cabin down there we had to go through the gap in the ridge, and it was all creek from the springs, and it thrilled us when we'd tell my daddy to go fast in that old car he had. He says, "I can't go any faster because it will drown out." That's the way the children and people out in the bend had to come through that gap in the ridge, and it was all water. It was all creek, but most of the time it was with horse and buggy or with a wagon come up to the mill, and down in the Freels bend that's where they raised a lot of their wheat and a lot of Grandpas—well they finally moved out. He bought Grandma Freels his wife's daddies from the Holloways. He bought a place and rebuilt that house there so the children could have a better way to go to school, but then they had this wheat every year. They'd thrash it, and we'd always go down. The thrasher would come by the house, and we'd always go down—the thrasher would thrash the wheat and get the straw. Grandma would have her—washed ready to fill with new straw to put on the beds. Then the seed. Grandpa would take them to mill, one mill I believe in Lenoir City and maybe one over in I forget where it was, to have ground for our flour. That's the way we got our flour for the winter was through the wheat.
It was I guess a quarter of a mile and it was all water, and there was a path above it on the hillside where the people could walk out and walk to school. The cars, we had an old I think it was a T model or an A model one, and would tickle us because we'd go down in the middle, well you couldn't pass, and we'd tell our daddy to go fast so it would splash, and he'd say he couldn't go fast because it would drown the car out. But the UT took over the Freels cabin and they rented all that area down through there. And then they moved; they didn't move my home out cause it was too big, but the others they moved out in a row up there, and my grandmother Freels house sat up there on the corner of where the arboretum is and the cemetery is. And they put all those other houses there, and that's where the families that worked at the UT down in Freels Bend lived in those homes.
But the creek that they went through most of the time was wagons and horses, not many people with cars, and then when school was going on and it rained and the creeks got up, the children that lived down in that way usually came to my home and stayed, and mama would make them a pallet that night, put quilts down, and they'd stay at our home. They couldn't get home. No way to get home.
Mother. Usually they always came to get mom. She has pronounced a lot of them dead. I remember this one baby that died belong to Edgar Ford. He owned one of the grocery stores at the hill. And it died, and she took me with her, and she put nickels on it's eyes, and he had gone, Mr. Ford, had gone to Oliver Springs to get a casket for it, and mama dressed it in a little dress and cleaned it up. And like I said when anybody got sick and died she and Mr. Moore would make the linings for the coffins if the person didn't have the money to buy the coffin at the undertakers. Booth at Oliver Springs was about the only undertaker I remember. No transportation. People didn't have transportation, and you had to bury them pretty much the day after they died if it was summer time. And we had a little house there at Scarboro cemetery that had the shovels and the picks and everything, and every now and then they had to use a little bit of dynamite on account of the rocks and the graves, and the people dug the graves. The neighbors would go in and build a grave, and I guess the ambulance would come and take them to the cemetery, but mama played a big part in sickness if anybody died.
She was a nurse. She never did practice, but she and her sister both were nurses, and it was before Knoxville had any nurses schools, and so grandpa—sent them to Chattanooga down to Erlanger's Hospital. They took their nurses training down there in Chattanooga, ride the train back and forth to Knoxville.
Yes, all the Piets are married there and the Anderson. Now George Anderson died not long ago, but he was buried I think in the Clinton cemetery there in Clinton. Ola Anderson, she started teaching school right out of, I don't know if she had a high school education or not, but she taught over at Scarboro, and she was my teacher, my second grade teacher. We had moved, and I had married and come back, and I was teaching at Claxton, and my son was with me. I'm going to tell this on him. He happened to get in her room. She was still teaching. So he had Ms. Anderson, Ms. Ola has his second grade teacher when I had her for my second grade teacher. So she never did marry, Ola never did. George was in my husband's high school class at Robertsville. They graduated together, played basketball together.
Uncle Jim Freels. He just wouldn't give up. He had a little grocery store there and a farm that joined his mama's and daddy's, grandma and grandpa Freels' place. So he wouldn't move out. He took it to court for more money, but I don't think he got enough to pay a lawyer for it. So then he just was contrary, and he wouldn't move out. So then Uncle John Jones, that's my daddy's sister's husband, he wouldn't move out either. Finally the police in Oak Ridge mailed Uncle Jim an order that he had to leave, and told him on that order what he could take out with him, and I've got that. He finally moved out, and when he moved out he moved in with his wife. She had moved with the Gammels, and he got a job down in Oak Ridge as a watchman at the bus place, and he wouldn't cash his checks. He was still mad at Oak Ridge. He wouldn't cash them checks at all. So one day they called him up and told him that he was messing their books up. And he told them that he didn't care that they were his and he could do them what he wanted to with them. But my cousin, Doc Jones, talked him into taking them to the bank and cashing them and putting them in the bank, and that was the end of Uncle Jim's story. Then I asked Ed one day. I said, "Ed, you didn't move out either. Uncle John didn't move out," I said, "How did you all move out?" He said, "We moved out after dark after the patrols moved across the Edgemoor Bridge. We moved out after dark when the police was asleep.

My first full day in SF was quite an eventful one. I met up with Shaun Farley (from Dynamic Interference) to head up to Skywalker Ranch for the MPSE Sound Panel. We had some time to kill, so we headed over to Pier 39 because he was told there were some Seals that hung out over there. We got there, and sure enough, there were a bunch! They made all sorts of crazy sounds! Shaun had his Sony D50 with him and I had my Olympus LS-10, so we grabbed some (contaminated) recordings. Too many people around – but it was fun nonetheless. (Side note – went back there Sunday night with Nick Meade with a 702 and MKH60 / 30 M/S rig and boom pole. Much better results then.) I also might mention that it's not the easiest thing to deal with these animals – very unpredictable, and lots of cross-talk between them. I tip my hat to Tim Prebble on his wonderful seal library – I now have a better idea how much work it must have been…
So we left the pier, somewhat deflated because of all the crowd noise in the recordings, but all was good. So we're walking around and Shaun spots a submarine docked nearby with a "Submarine Tour" sign near it, and he says to me, "Hey, want to go get some submarine ambiences?" I figured, "hey, why not," so we headed over, paid a few bucks each, and headed onto the sub.
I was one of those self-guided tours, and there was nobody else around, so we basically had this entire sub to ourself. We started recording ambiences. A few minutes later, Shaun realized that most of the buttons / switches / levers / wheels weren't locked down, and made some killer sounds! So we literally recorded just about everything that we found. After all was done, we ended up spending about 1.5 hours on this sub, and only saw about 7 or 8 people the entire time we were down there. I haven't gotten a chance to edit any of the sounds yet, but as soon as I do, I'll put some samples up! Who knows, maybe it will become a HartFX library, if the recordings came out!
So we headed out over the Golden Gate Bridge to meet up with Nathan Moody (from Noise Jockey) before carpooling up to the Ranch. To quote Nathan, "I can confirm that there are unicorns and triple rainbows at Skywalker Ranch." Enough said about that. Any more might ruin the magic around it. But about the MPSE event – amazing. Got to talk to Randy Thom, Gary Rizzo, Al Nelson, and many other awesome people! I won't expound on the event too much, but I will say that it is definitely worth the 1 hour is takes to digest it. Michael Coleman over at Soundworks Collection had his crew there covering the event. You can watch the panel here.
Afterwards, Gary Rizzo gave Shaun, Nathan and I a "nickel tour" of the facilities there, but swore us to secrecy about a certain few things, so that's all I can say about that! However, a special thanks goes out to Gwen for allowing us to have Gary for another 10 minutes 🙂
To top off the night, we had the first ever "Sound Guy Scotch/etc.. Tasting" over at Nathan's place. I came out liking the "Brennivan" from Iceland the best. Cheers to Gunner from Euphonix for gifting that one to Nathan! Go pick some up if you can – very cool drink. The A.H Hirsch Reserve Straight Burbon Whiskey was very good as well!
Very cool day. Got to traipse around SF, Skywalker, and chill with Shaun and Nathan. Early to bed though, since the exhibits opened the next morning. Next up, some of the info I gathered there!

Freestanding Electric Ranges
Add an updated look and some new functionality to your kitchen with a new Freestanding Electric Range. Many of us are familiar with the temperamental electric stove of the past, which was slow to get hot and provided inaccurate temperature control. But many of today's electric ranges have benefited from technological advances that make them a pleasure to use. Consider an electric stove with a fifth burner, or with a high-tech induction cooktop. Our selection of freestanding electric ranges includes models in all sizes and colors, from top manufacturers like Frigidaire, LG, and Whirlpool.
Featured Videos of Ranges
Whether or not you need a gas or electric range will be determined by what utilities your home has been outfitted with. Kitchens in many condominiums are setup for an electric stove. While this used to be disappointing to many homeowners, the electric range of today is just as efficient and easy to use as its gas counterparts. For help in choosing the best electric oven for your home, please don't hesitate to contact one of our kitchen appliance sales specialists.

Assistant Attorney General Lisa Monaco told CNN, "Today's indictment, which alleges a terrorist conspiracy involving individuals around the globe who connected via the Internet -- including a teenager and two women living in America -- underscores the evolving nature of violent extremism."
FBI Executive Assistant Director Mark Giuliano said this case highlights the challenges facing the authorities in the modern age.
He said, "This investigation highlights the diverse threat environment we face today. As revealed in this case, individuals used the Internet to further their radicalization and contribute to the radicalization of others."
Damache and Khalid worked alongside Colleen LaRose and her accomplice from Colorado, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez. This March Paulin-Ramirez pleaded guilty.
According to the BBC, Khalid, an immigrant from Pakistan and resident of the state of Maryland, won a full scholarship to Johns Hopkins University.
One of the two charged is Mohammad Hassan Khalid, 18, a Pakistani immigrant from the state of Maryland reported to have won a full scholarship to Johns Hopkins University.
According to the court's documents, Damache had married Paulin-Ramirez on the day she moved to Europe even though she had never met him. She planned to live and train with jihadists. Paulin-Ramirez brought her son with her. The couple soon began their training "in the ways of violent jihad".

Cowboy Fans Say Goodbye to Crazy Ray
The Cowboys will honor Crazy Ray on Saturday with a public memorial service at Texas Stadium on Saturday, March 24 at 10 a.m. Donations are being accepted for the family at http://www.savecrazyray.com.
The team will also pay tribute to Crazy Ray at a 2007 home game, yet to be announced. His wife of 53 years, Mattie, will be honored on the field as everyone pays their respects to the Cowboys biggest fan. The Cowboy's schedule is expected to be released in a few weeks.
Crazy Ray lived for the Dallas Cowboys, entertaining fans for over 4 decades. He became a well known Dallas Cowboys icon and was even enshrined into the fan's wing of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His spirit will live on whenever the Cowboys take the field. I guess it's true what they say, Old cowboys never die, they just ride off into the sunset.

ReleasesBack to
Donald Byrd
One of his last efforts with the Mizell production team was definitely not his most critically acclaimed, but Caricatures continued Byrd's commercial winning streak that started years previous with 1969's Kofi and such '70s Blue Note classics as Places and Spaces, Black Byrd, and Street Lady. His last release for the label was no exception to the formula set forth from the previously mentioned albums. One of Caricatures strongest features is the level of musicianship from start to finish. Byrd recruited some of the top '70s soul-jazz musicians, such as Gary Bartz, Alphonse Mouzon, David T Walker, and future '80s R&B hitmaker Patrice Rushen, to help complement the musicianship laid down by Byrd and the Mizell brothers. The atmosphere is light and soulful, with musicians bouncing off one another for ideas that shift closer towards R&B while maintaining a sense of jazz ideals. While there is no truly memorable anthemic release or hit to speak of, Caricatures serves its primary purpose of being a jazz fusion record to make both people dance and purists wince at the notion that jazz can fuse with other elements and achieve success. ~ Rob Theakston
