As a meteorologist (and a good-looking one at that), I am often asked how I do my job. You see, meteorology is a bit mysterious and common at the same time. Everybody knows something about weather because, well, we all live in the atmosphere. As such, everybody has their own little story of how an unexpected thunderstorm ruined their picnic, or a lightning strike prevented them from making birdie on the 9th hole, or how they slipped on a morning ice patch just outside their door. We are all experts. So it makes it that much harder to prove that, as a meteorologist, we are experts too.
To that end, my fellow Weather Underground meteorologists have brainstormed a way to bring that expertise to you on a global scale. We will try to highlight one particular area of global weather throughout the workweek to let you know what might be happening in the weather world beyond your local weather. Within this discussion, we will try to highlight certain things using not-too-technical meteorological terms that will also help you understand the atmosphere above you. How can we live in the atmosphere yet not understand how it works? Never fear we are here!
European Drought 4/27
Droughts are a common, natural phenomenon, but when they happen, they can be very devastating. People in Texas and the Southern Plains are especially in tune with droughts right now as they are battling not only intense wildfires, but an especially intense drought as well (Figure 1). Some areas have received less precipitation this year that in the Dust Bowl era. You got that right, it is drier in some parts of the Southern Plains right now that during the Dust Bowl.
Figure 1. Drought Monitor map showing Extreme and Exceptional drought conditions for many areas of the Southern Plains and Southwest.
But, of course, the United States not only is not the only place on the planet, but other countries experience droughts too!
Parts of Europe are experiencing their worst drought in over a century. Area of the United Kingdom are only 40% of normal, and the Netherlands have banned barbecues, camp fires, and outdoor smoking, and public figures have implored the public to pray for rain. Now, for those of you in the United States, imagine for a moment that a state or the federal government said to the general public that they were not allowed turn on their BBQs to indulge in America's favorite pastime. Oh the humanity! And then, if you dare, imagine if those conditions persist through the 4th of July holiday. The drought conditions that caused this ban must be quite severe for the government to take these steps.
Let's take a look to see if all of those prayers are being answered by looking at some atmospheric models. Now, don't fret. I will walk you through just the most important features. If you want to look at the models more in depth and become your own forecaster, everything I use is also available to you on Weather Underground by going to the WunderMap.
Figure 2. Mean Sea Level model map for April 27 over Europe.
What you see above is a map of Europe with an overlay of sea level pressure (blue contours) and precipitation (purple and blue blobs). Orient yourself by looking at the United Kingdom then get your bearings by looking at the red lines for the rest of the countries in Europe. Where you see the purple blobs, that means the model is telling us that after doing all of the complex mathematics, it has determined it will rain in those areas. Keep in mind that this is just one opinion from one model This is where experience with looking at these models comes in handy. In general, when looking at these maps I usually write off the first level purple contour in an area. That is to say, where the model is telling me, "it is going to rain very light in this area", I usually tell the model "no, it won't". Again, this is a general rule. If you were to use that rule, look at how much that precipitation it takes off the table. No longer to you see precipitation in western Russia, much of the precipitation in the central part of the continent from Germany through the Alps is gone, and some of the rain off the west coast of the United Kingdom is toast. So, in other words, maybe it won't precipitate as much as this model is telling us.
Before I overwhelm you too much on this very first blog of this sort, I want to point out on more thing that is causing the huge drought in the central part of the continent. Do you see the large expanse of the map from the United Kingdom through the Scandinavian Peninsula and south into the Netherlands? That large area of blackness that is void of any wet weather is also associated with a large high pressure system. High pressures bring sinking air, and in turn, dry conditions are possibly warm than normal temperatures. This high pressure system in the northern half of the continent has been in place for a long time. When high pressures become stagnant, they can keep dry and warm conditions over an area so long that drought conditions become widespread. This was the cause this past Summer in Russia when an extremely stagnant high brought all-time high temperatures to Moscow and western Russia.
Often, what is needed to shift the weather pattern around is a large storm that swoops in from the west and kicks the high pressure "downstream" (east). These large storms have been non-existent for awhile, and thus the high has stayed in place. So, until this happens, expect scattered rain showers to the south of the drought-stricken area.

Weather Underground has put together a survey about Earth Day that takes less than 1 minute to complete. We would love your input. You can find the survey here.
Help us with an Earth Day survey here.
Well everybody, Earth Day is here...again. It seems as though no matter how poorly we treat her, Mother Earth still comes around once a year to let us know that she still needs to be treated nicely. How selfish! Isn't it enough that we halfheartedly recognize Arbor Day once per year as well (and some of us even remember a week after it happened)? What could Mother Earth possibly want in addition? Our calendar is already full to the brim with other day, week, or month "holidays" such as "National Peanut Brittle Day" (January 26th), World Menopause Week (in June), and the Month of Free Thought (October). How can we possibly fit in any more, or additional, observances for our dear Mother Earth?
Just in case you are sarcastically deficient, the above was...sarcastic. But, in truth, around this time of year, around Earth Day, various green organizations press release to media outlets their list of things you can or should be doing to help the environment. Each year, I scour these lists hoping for something new to be on them. And each year, the lists look something like this. Now don't get me wrong, each of those things on the list are extremely important and if we could get even a small fraction of the people on this crowded planet doing these things more, not only would our globe look better, but we would look better too. However, most of the things on the list require lifestyle changes that, frankly, the modern person does not have time for. Heck, this blog is even too long already for the average person who is juggling 15 different things. Look at #2 on that list, for instance. "Walk or use a bike". A worthy goal. The more bikes on the road, the less cars on the road. The more we walk, the better fitness we have. I get it. I really do. But, for most of us making the change from our nice, comfortable 5,6,7,8-person vehicle to a grinding peddle-pusher with a seat that touches us in places that haven't seen the light of day in decades is not practical for our lifestyle. Especially since that bicycle is not spacious enough to carry our sons home from soccer practice or our week's worth of groceries from the store.
Never fear! Below is my much more practical list of tremendously easy things you can do to help the environment not only this Earth Day, but also over Easter weekend. And heck, if you are feeling adventurous enough, you can extend at least some of these things into your normal daily life!
Do Nothing
This one is my favorite. Every one of us is a greenhouse emitting machine. Nearly everything we use in our modern society has some sort of carbon footprint. Sure, your automobile is most likely the biggest offender and thus gets all of the climate change headlines, but your fireplace is equally as harmful. The lights in your house, your garden hose, the construction you are planning on doing to your kitchen, your shoes that were shipping over from Asia, your fast food toy that you had to have, etc., all have their own carbon footprint.
In fact, your emission rate goes up as soon as that pesky alarm clock goes off in the morning. It continues to skyrocket as you make your breakfast and morning coffee and continues to go up into the evening as you settle down to watch your favorite TV show. So, the best way to counteract that this Earth Day and Easter Weekend is to do nothing. NOTHING. Call into work on Friday (Earth Day) or work from home. This weekend, keep your energy-hungry computer off, sit down on your couch and cozy up with that book that has been collecting dust for the past few months. Or better yet, if your weather is pleasant (or even if it isn't), go outside and do the same thing. Ditch your car keys, tell your kids you cannot drive them anywhere because Mother Earth is sick and you are giving her medicine, and then sit in your office chair and spin (I love doing that). Play a board game for the first time in years, stare at the ceiling and make mental pictures with the popcorn ceiling you have always wanted to take down, DO WHATEVER.
The bottom line is this: the less you do this Earth Day and Easter weekend, the better it is for the planet. So go ahead and do nothing, you deserve it, you planet-saver.
Avoid the Standby
If you own a new-ish television or a new-ish appliance, it is probably consuming more electricity than you know. My television, for instance, has this tiny red light on the bottom that comes on when I turn it off. Yes, when I turn the television OFF, a light comes ON. What's with that? That means I KNOW that the stupid thing is eating electricity completely uselessly. This is true for many of the new-age appliances that have computer chips in them that require them to know what time it is, for memory storage, or other technologically cool features. The best way to get around this is to unplug the appliance completely or keep multiple smaller appliances plugged into a power strip that you can manually turn off. This way, you can save electricity that would otherwise be wasted while also saving money. Deal? Deal!
Eat Raw
I know...it sounds like I am some hippy who is advocating a new diet. In reality, I am just being lazy and good for the environment at the same time. Cooking releases gases and other stuff that is potentially harmful to the environment. The grand-ole American tradition of BBQ-ing releases harmful carbon dioxide whether you are using charcoal or propane. Even when you cook inside, your stove is either using natural gas or electricity to cook up those scrambled eggs you so crave (can you crave scrambled eggs?). And I am not even mentioning microwaves, refrigerators, or electric can openers, but those are energy hungry as well.
So, eat raw this Earth Day weekend. Go grab yourself some beautifully local strawberries, lettuce, zucchinis, and other green stuff and chop them up into a lovely fruit or green salad. The one caution is you have to make sure everything gets washed ahead of time. Not only is this healthier for you, but for the environment as well. And who could resist a big fat strawberry?
Support that guy on the corner selling fruit
I drive by a guy every morning with a crate full of strawberries that he is selling for a couple bucks. I also live down the street from a fruit stand that sells farm fresh corn, cucumbers, and other quick growing vegetables. One of the best and easiest ways to help the environment is to buy food that was grown as close to your house as possible. Think about it. If I go and buy some corn from that guy down the street, that corn has a much smaller carbon footprint than a similar corn stalk that was purchases at my local grocery market after being transported by ship, truck, and/or train to that market. Who knew groceries could be so dirty?
So, the more food you buy locally, the better it is for the environment. Better yet, find a local farmer's market and go there this weekend. What better way to spend a beautiful Spring weekend than by strapping on those Spring shoes you just bought, pulling out those reusable shopping bags and heading to the farmer's market with all of the other colorfully dressed people? I don't know about your local farmer's market, but most of them feature the most local fruits and vegetables your area has to offer. And with a much smaller carbon footprint, you will have much less guilt.
Enjoy the sunset
In order to feel the need to save something, you have to feel the need to appreciate it first. All too often, many of us are constantly running around doing our various errands or living life and we forget to, well...live life. This Earth Day and Easter Weekend, take a moment to enjoy something you have forgotten about. Stare at the sunset until someone asks if you are crazy, splash in a puddle of newly-fallen rain like you used to as a child, plunge your feet into the warm sand at your favorite beach, wonder why the sky is blue.
Whether or not you appreciate or have time to appreciate it, Earth is still our home. Whether or not you believe that climate change is real or it is a complete sham, Earth is our home. And it is beautiful from the dirtiest earthworm to the most majestic redwood tree.
I hope you didn't take too much time reading this blog, but thanks for doing it nonetheless. Now, turn off your computer, close your laptop, pour yourself a glass of cool water not from a plastic water bottle, and enjoy Earth Day and weekend. I would love to hear how you did nothing this weekend.

Winning is the best marketing, not a fancy new court, not new cheerleaders, not new uniform colors, not 50 cent hot dogs, not new coach, not new toilets, not new.... Just win baby on plain and simple hardwood and we will all toast the playoffs on top of that fancy new skyscraper.
The new NML building looks like a smaller version of a new apartment tower currently under construction in downtown Minneapolis. NML promised an iconic new tower for Milwaukee...seems they oversold it a bit.Hide replies
d.s, that's Incorrect. The building you mentioned under construction in Minneapolis, 1368 LaSalle Ave, will be 356 feet in height when completed. The new NML building is scheduled to be 550 feet in height; only 56 feet shorter and 2nd tallest to the US Bank building in downtown Milwaukee.
I like the new NML building. I think it is handsome, it is different than and complements other buildings in the area, and it suits the site. It is a great addition to the Milwaukee skyline. And, I agree that the building hits its stride at street level, a perspective that often takes a back seat to what a structure looks like from half a mile away.
However, it is not the "iconic" structure NML talked about putting up. Here are buildings that are iconic: The Empire State Building, the Transamerica Tower in San Francisco, and the John Hancock Tower in Chicago. This building is none of these.
The Bucks can change their floor every season. The NML tower, not so much. It is a missed opportunity and I don't think their leaders have rully realized this quite yet. The City of Milwaukee, heck, the REGION is yurning for something to really kick our skyline (and image) into the next century. The Calatrava did a great job of bringing awareness and transformational thinking. NML could have slingshotted this further by doing something truly "iconic". Here we have applause and then think, Chicago has this already (333 Wacker). There are only a few tweeks and this design could accomplish that wow "iconic" rememberance. Think roofline and angle, the Architectural firm is on to something here that aligns with the Calatrava on the east. Add about 25-50 feet to the roof sloping to the east and coming to an angled edge in the sky with some cool NML colors that shine up at the tip (seen from all around)... well you ge the VISION!!! Please NML, please please please do not let this be the final draft. Its close, but not quite there. No matter what, thank you for investing in Milwaukee.
As always, well researched and written, Mary Louise.
great article but you should really post other pictures of the new NML tower....the ones included on your articles over the past few days don't show the back of the building, or the vantage point looking east on Mason...the pictures I've seen detail how this building truly is "iconic" for Milwaukee because its not the typical throwback to our German heritage....not that there's anything wrong with that but if we're trying to create a new image, we need more modern looking buildings....it's not iconic as in the Empire State Building but it certainly is refreshing and will be a nice addition to the skyline...Hide replies
Hi, portableremote. At the upper left of the article there is a photo gallery of images. These are all of the images that have been made available by NML at this time. There are several.
Looks breathtaking to me.
Love the way the light will hit this art.
re: NML. Great observations, the design details of this structure and the surrounding areas have many positive attributes. I'm sure when standing next to The Calling at street level, it will be very impressive indeed. But there are a few things that I don't care for. I think the west elevation is unremarkable and really does look dated. It would be nice to have a building that is impressive from all angles. Also, the placement of the structure seems to lack "feng shui," in that it is situated too far to the east, and disrupts the flow of the other buildings along the shoreline. A bit boxy in my humble opinion, it would be nice if there was some tapering and a little extra height. NML must know how much people in Milwaukee would like to see a building that surpasses the height of the 1973 First Bank building. As one who observed that being built, I know I would.
I think NML's tower is great. The Bucks floor, not so much.

little chicks...
I have had such fun this week needle felting these tiny chicks. The little curly top baby just makes me laugh and dads top hat is looking dapper for sure. I'm thinking I might take off the tinsel and add a bow tie instead...

"Nothing has been more corrosive to the stability and modernization of the Arab world, and the Muslim world at large, than the billions and billions of dollars the Saudis have invested since the 1970s into wiping out the pluralism of Islam — the Sufi, moderate Sunni and Shiite versions — and imposing in its place the puritanical, anti-modern, anti-women, anti-Western, anti-pluralistic Wahhabi Salafist brand of Islam promoted by the Saudi religious establishment. "It is not an accident that sev … [Read more...]

Is This the Dirtiest Secret in American Government History? Did Bush Know it Was Saudi Arabia that Orchestrated and Paid For 9/11?
No, this is not some roll out of a wacky conspiracy theory. The New York Times just broke a story that --if true-- HAS HUGE implications. We know that Bush foolishly attacked Iraq, that had nothing to do with 9/11. But what if Bush/Cheney did that while knowing that our "allies," the Saudi royal family, had paid for Al Qaeda, trained them and were personally behind the 9/11 attacks?Here's an excerpt from the article.

WelcomeEdgewater Crew stands proud among the first programs that established competitive rowing for high school students in Florida. Since our founding 52 years ago by EHS teacher Dennis Kamrad, we have trained athletes to lead their peers both on and off the water compiling a long tradition of excellence in rowing, scholarship and citizenship.
We compete with more than 40 other school and club programs in Florida, and occasionally venture out of state to race teams on a regional and national scale. Some of our athletes have gone on to row in college, and all have been served well in their adult life by the lessons of dedication and teamwork that are the heart of this sport.
We invite any student who is eligible to participate in Edgewater High School athletics to give rowing a try. Boys and girls of any size are welcome and no athletic experience is required. No one is 'cut'; if a student has the determination to train, we make a place for him/her on the team to race.
Rowing operates as a club sport at the high school level; therefore our team gets no dedicated funding from the state, county or school. There is a financial obligation to participate, however we give students at least 2 weeks to try our program at no cost, and there are numerous opportunities to generate funds to offset dues and fees.
Orlando Rowing Association is a 501, (c)(3) charitable, educational, non-profit corporation made up of Edgewater Crew parents which provides all administrative, financial and logistical support to the team. ORA also conducts fundraising operations while soliciting donations and grants which are put to good use with NO administrative overhead.

Fort Erie Race Track opens its 116th season of racing today, and its signature race of the season will be on the move this year.
The Prince of Wales Stakes, the second leg in Canada's Triple Crown, will be held on Tuesday, July 30. That's a change from the traditional Sunday afternoon running of the race. Canada's top 3-year-olds will run a mile and 3/16. The event has been held at the track since 1959.
Fort Erie will stage its first race on Tuesdays at 4:15 p.m., and the Prince of Wales will go off at about 7:30 p.m. Track organizers hope that the changed starting date and time will increase interest and attendance in the race.
The Prince of Wales will face less simulcast competition across the country with a Tuesday night running. In addition, there is less competition for media coverage on a Tuesday, and bridge traffic for fans from the United States should be reduced by the move.
After today's opening, the track will wait until June 2 to resume its 50-day schedule. Races generally will be held on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays through Sept. 24. However, Fort Erie will be dark on June 3 and 10. Post time for the first race will be at 1:15 p.m. except for Tuesdays from June through the end of August, when racing begins at 4:15 p.m.
Fans will receive a free "Alive and Kicking" T-shirt when they purchase a racing program today. Fort Erie will host a Farmers' Market on many Sundays during the racing season, starting on June 2.
The schedule of stakes races for the year will be announced at a later day. However, Monday, Sept. 2, is "Puss N Boots Day." According to tradition, the winning connections of that race jump into the infield pond.

The /wp-content/uploads directory contains them. But read on.
Backup consists of two elements:
The #2 is because some plugins and themes store settings in files, even if totally inadvisable (that never stopped them). And it's best to save everything just to stay on the safe side.
you get your all external images when you upload your database back in Your_Database->wp_posts->post_content you can see your content in html format so its clear that their are anchor tags also so you'll get your external images for sure.

We have visited twice in the summer and look forward to coming back in the winter. The decor in the rooms is beautiful and the housekeeping service is great. The dining options are wonderful - from room service to the fine dining option Sidecut. We have dined several times at Sidecut and could not be more overwhelmed with the dining experience. The GM, Albert, is amazing, the service exceptional but the food is indescribeable, a must when visiting.
As usual, the Four Seasons extends service for families travelling with children of all ages that makes every visit so memorable.

Mandy from Oz thank you for a great tasty easy to make lunch. I did it as a 2 serve (using 1 large egg) but omitted the green capsicum. Using the same recipe but subing ham for the salami which the DM loved (she's not keen on spicy or hot). Made for Newest ZAAR Tag, 08A. UPDATE made again today and used the following quantities 2 eggs (medium), 80grams sharp cheddar cheese, 60 grams baby swiss brown mushrooms, 1/4 red capsicum, 70 grams hot pepperoni, 1 spring onion and forgot to put int he oregano and spread this over 4 slices of wholemeal/wholegrain toast and the DM and I each very much enjoyed our 2 slices each. Thanks once again Mandy for a great lunch.

With one knockout win from one contest, Tyson's 18-year-old cousin, Hughie Fury, takes a step up in class for his second professional fight, as he meets a man with the same record in Alex Rozman.
"I'm feeling good, I'm in good shape and all ready to go - I just cant wait to get in there," Hughie said. "I'm just going to do my boxing, not rush anything and be relaxed, that's the important thing."
Hughie, the first Irish/British fighter to win a gold medal at the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships at super heavyweight, impressed with an emphatic second-round knockout victory over David Whittom on his professional debut. He will certainly be looking to send another big statement to a terrestrial audience at the sport's most historic venue as he continues his transition into the pro ranks. But, he cannot afford to underestimate his latest opponent. Rozman, a trained MMA fighter, also won his professional debut with an emphatic knock out, beating Brandon Segura in the first round.
"For my first fight I wasn't nervous one bit, I was excited and kept calm and I put on a good display and I'll do the same for this one," Hughie said. "I want to show people my skill and show them what I've got - I'm wanting to put on a good display of boxing.
"It's unbelievable, especially with my second fight getting put on Channel 5 with the whole world watching me, I just can't wait."
Hughie has been training with his cousin Tyson as he prepares for Cunningham. Team Fury set up their training camp at Casino Lac-Leamy, Ottawa, Canada, ahead of the contest, where they have had access to state of the art training facilities and running trails.
The fight on Channel 5, sponsored by SuperCasino, will be shown in a 90-minute programme from 9.30pm in the UK, while NBC will be airing a special two-hour afternoon presentation of NBC Sports Fight Night, only the third time boxing has been on network television in the US since 1993 - making this the widest reaching heavyweight fight for many years.

Build a 5-foot-wide airplane inspired by 1930s designs.
The summer before ninth grade, in 1985, I was stuck at home while my usual friends were away. I started talking with Eddie, the World War II vet who lived across the street, and during those 3 months he taught me the fundamentals of model airplane building. His lifelong hobby, which he had learned during the Great Depression, became my own, and it inspired my career as a flight instructor and developer of UAVs for the U.S. Air Force.
I designed the Medicine Man to reintroduce this largely lost art, drawing on my own experience and discussions with fellow modelers. I made it a glider because gliders are the purest form of flying machine, they're cheaper to build, and they develop piloting skills without the distraction of engine management. It's R/C compatible so you can fly it in city and suburban parks, or you can make a free-flight version for larger expanses. Its 5-foot wingspan makes it stable enough for beginners (larger planes are more stable), yet with the wings dismounted it will fit in a small car. I hope you enjoy it!
Following the fuselage top view, cut the cross-members for stations 1 through 7. Note that stations 3 and 5 use spruce, and at station 4 the top cross-member sits about 3/8" below the top in order to clear the wing. Pin the bottom cross-members in place on the fuselage top view.
Readjust for trueness along both sides. Pinch, glue, and pin the cross-members at the front (station 1). Check that the nose is square, and if it isn't, "persuade" it into position with a heavy, upright object such as a brick or a full bottle. Daub a second coat of glue onto these front cross-members (they're under quite a bit of stress), and allow to dry 1 hour. Spray down the entire fuselage and let it dry overnight, to further safeguard against the dreaded "banana" fuselage.
Glue 3/16" sheeting above and below the nose. The top center piece will be the equipment bay hatch, so just tack-glue this section. Add top and bottom "slivers" between stations 8 and 9, as shown in the fuselage top view. Sand the front of station 1 flat, and glue on the nose block. Laminate and glue in the tow hook mounting block on the fuselage centerline aft of station 3. Let dry overnight.
Shape and sand the completed fuselage. You can use the pen trick in Step 4 to shape the nose block. Lightly round the edges of the fuselage, except where the wing and tail will join.
You can build both wings at the same time if you have room on your building board. Be certain to build a right wing and a left wing, not two of the same!
Using the sanding block, sand an approximately 3° bevel into the wing roots where they will mate. Be very hygienic with making clean joints here: the wing center section absorbs more flight stresses than any other part of the aircraft!
If you're using R/C, mount the control horns and hinges on the rudder and elevator. Locate the hinge slots you cut in Step 4 and re-cut them through the covering. Wood glue won't stick to plastic, so you need to remove the covering anywhere you're bonding to. For a model this size, I cut the hinges in half lengthwise.

I never paid for the mortgage only household utilties. He is claiming I owe him money since the time he moved into the multi unit. He is still on the property.
Family Law Attorney
He can't sue you for the mortgage payments. But there might be issues of reimbursements depending on whether the property is community or separate property. Generally any property bought during the marriage is community property regardless of title designation. Additionally, if he owes you spousal support and both are still staying on the property, it is possible that the payment of the expenses of the house while both are living there could be credited in part, towards spousal support. But there are alot of facts that need analysis in this scenario. You need to see the help of an attorney on this.

RE: Margaret (Holland) Fultz-Duncan
You are very welcome. I realized after posting the picture that the same stone is posted under William Robert Duncan, but the cemetery records only account for one Duncan memorial stone. Since both of the death certificates for Robert and Margaret document "Hubbell Cemetery" as the place of burial, I made a bit of a leap and assumed that they were both buried at that memorial.

RE: Cynthia Ann (Lewis) Jamison
Judy: The following is a copy and past of the answer I just left for Mary.
The past couple years I have been working on trying to recover, identify, and restore the broken headstones in the Pearson Cemetery as all of them are broken. To date I still have 11 unidentified graves of which I believe 7 to be children from the size of the graves, and the others I believe to be 4 adults from there sizes, and of these 4 adults graves I believe only 1 to be a female adult grave buried along side of an unidentified male grave. From 3 lists that I have acquired, 1 from the Falls City Court House and 2 from lists from the Falls City Public Library with names of persons supposedly buried in the Pearson Cemetery I have found no names of JAMISON or HOOD as another contributor as suggested as her 2nd husband! Until I find more in the cemetery this is all I can say as for now. I still have over 50% of the cemetery to search by spike probing the ground! Keep checking the cemetery sight from time to time as I will add any new info when and if I should find more. Ronald

LEHI — Angela Johnson doesn't try to explain it. She just wholly believes that she's getting some divine help as she creates a sculpture garden — the Light of the World Garden at Thanksgiving Point — based on the life of Jesus Christ.
Dedicated to becoming an opera singer, she never planned or trained to be an artist. But she is.
"I hadn't reached my goal in the opera world, so I prayed about what I should do with my life," Johnson said. "I went to the store and bought a block of clay and started to work it. Four hours later, I had this bust of a little girl. It was now time to leverage a talent I didn't know I had."
Since that day, she's taught herself to sculpt, working long hours and dreaming nightly about what she wanted to create.
"Somedays I'd get up and cut off heads, smash things with a hammer and start over," she said, "all the while trying to listen to the Spirit for direction."
In Thanksgiving Point garden, she has created 15 pieces that not only tell stories about Jesus Christ's life on earth and in heaven, they evoke emotion in the people who see them.
"The very first piece was this walking on water piece," she said, motioning to "It Is I, Be Not Afraid," a $300,000 piece that took more than $22,000 worth of clay and required that she get right into the clay to mold and sculpt the high waves. "I knew if I was going to accomplish this goal I would have to walk in deep water. I would need faith."
She marked off the dimensions on her studio floor and divided the work into sections. The result is a huge piece that supports Christ as he walks across the tumultuous water. Ultimately it took more than 200 panels to mold and reform the piece in bronze.
She took care to make sure the texture and patina reflected the mood of the water and its beauty.
"I had to learn about faith and trust and hard work," Johnson said. "That's the fun part."
Johnson claims she's had no formal art training, but believes the rigors of training to sing an aria helped her focus as an artist and achieve her goals.
"I had no tutor. I was very much Spirit-taught, Spirit-guided," she said.
"I'm amazed at the dynamic relationship between me and the divine," she said. "This is a tangible witness of my testimony. What a unique thing to put your testimony in bronze."
"It's an absolute joy to look at these and realize I made them. But even more than it's mine, it's about Christ," she said. "The whole concept is bigger than me."
Her work was already on display around the world in visitors' centers as a traveling exhibit for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before she met the founder of Thanksgiving Point and started discussing putting the pieces on permanent display in the Prairie Grass Garden.
Johnson believes the garden makes a perfect backdrop for her work and is excited to see all of the sculptures installed. Three monumental-scaled pieces are finished while a dozen others are in progress or on display in miniature, waiting for enough donation money to come together to pay for completion of life-size versions.
The three life-size sculptures are "It is I, Be Not Afraid," "His Gatherer," of Christ gathering baby chicks, and "Because of Love," with the savior carrying his heavy cross to his crucifixion.
The maquette-size smaller pieces depict the First Vision to the Prophet Joseph Smith with Jesus Christ and the Father standing in the air above the boy; Christ in Gethsemane; the Raising of Lazarus; Mary and Martha hosting Christ for a meal; the woman touching his robes for a blessing; Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene after his resurrection; Christ beseeching his Father for strength; and Christ teaching the woman at the well and healing the blind man.

Area news in brief: Aug. 21, 2011

Vigil for Jori Lirette starts at 7 tonight
THIBODAUX — A candlelight vigil for slain 7-year- old Jori Lirette will be held at 7 tonight at Peltier Park.
The event is being organized by local residents.
Lirette, who had cerebral palsy, was found dead last Sunday, stunning the local community. His father, is charged with killing him.
Proceeds from Thursday's New Orleans Zephyrs game will go to benefit South Thibodaux Elementary, the school Jori Lirette attended.
Tickets cost $10, and the game starts at 7 p.m., with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Proceeds will help build a handicapped-accessible playground for the school.
For information, call Joetta Williams at (504) 872-0575.
Want to learn hunter safety?
THIBODAUX — The Lafourche Sheriff's Office will lead a free hunter-safety and education class in September.
Anyone born after Sept. 1, 1969, who wants a hunting license must complete a course.
The two-day class runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Galliano Fire District No. 3 station, 17462 W. Main St. Bring a lunch. On Sept. 11 , the class moves to the Sheriff's Office shooting range, 3451 La. 182, Raceland, from 9 a.m. until noon.
Advance registration is required. Call 449-4480.
Work to close I-10 most of today
METAIRIE — There's a gap between the beams in the new ramp being built over westbound Interstate 10 at Causeway Boulevard. Installing the huge steel girders to fill it is the reason all the westbound lanes will be closed for 16 hours, work that started at 3 this morning.
State Project Engineer Rick Skoien said installing the four beams with more than 100 bolts apiece will take hours and to expect a major traffic jam.
"It's gonna be heavy delays. It could be a delay down to downtown from Metairie," said Skoien, who warned drivers to avoid the area if possible.
State engineers urge drivers heading westbound on I-10 to take Airline Drive to Clearview and back to I-10. Drivers heading west on I-610 are urged to take I-10 east to Airline, then to Clearview.
The Bonnabel entrance will be closed, drivers detoured to Veterans, and while the Causeway exit westbound will be open with one lane allowing drivers to return to the interstate on the other side of the blockage, engineers know that route will be jammed.
They expect to have the work finished and I-10 west reopened by 7 tonight.
High school plans open house
GALLIANO — Parents can learn more about South Lafourche High at its open house Tuesday.
It begins at 6:30 p.m. at the school, 16911 E. Main St. All parents are invited and are asked to bring their child's schedule to participate in an abbreviated school day.

A brilliant game lacking in almost nothing.
So good things 1st:
Music: brilliant job on getting a looping song that doesn't annoy people (at least me)
Storyline: well I don't expect much of a storyline for these games but I love that you took the little time that is needed to explain why Death is going on a rampage.
Game play: It's smooth, challenging and frustrating at times... What more do you need?
Difficulty: well... I spent my time on it and got a good score and found out to kill all enemies easily except for the winged knight (who shall go down in the next hour or so of me procrastinating). So basically difficulty is spot on ranging in the easy parts to the parts which i still have to beat.
Graphics: this could be better although if you're looking for the "artsy bad excuse for lame graphics" type of graphics then you're spot on... BUT if you have the toned down graphics for better, smoother game play then I have no argument to strike. (I'm believing you went for the latter)
Now for the bad things: which happen to be none.
Hope others enjoy this as much as I did and also hope to see more. 5/5

The Auckland Blues held on for a dramatic 18-17 win over the Western Stormers in a bruising encounter at North Harbour Stadium on Friday.
The Stormers scored the only two tries of the match through captain Jean de Villiers but it was not enough as Blues flyhalf Chris Noakes booted a club record six penalties to get the New Zealanders over the line.
Allister Coetzee's men combined plenty of attacking intent with their renowned defence to narrow a 9-3 half-time deficit, only just missing out on a last-gasp victory when Elton Jantjies scuffed an attempted drop goal after the final siren.
The Blues first win over the Stormers since 2009 keeps them in touch with New Zealand conference leaders the Waikato Chiefs, who play the Melbourne Rebels in Melbourne later Friday.
Blues captain Ali Williams praised the way his team bounced back from a narrow loss to the Queensland Reds last week.
"We're growing, there's something exciting here," he said. "We're working for each other, that's the key thing and we're having some fun.
"(But) that's a tough Stormers outfit, I'm sore."
The game began at a frantic pace, with two Noakes penalties separating the sides mid-way through the first half.
The South Africans should have had the first try on 20 minutes after a run from winger Gio Aplon but Andries Bekker was held up short of the line and they had to settle for a penalty.
They set up another opportunity off the back of a rolling maul, only for the attack to break down when the ball was knocked on, before Noakes made it three penalties from three, ending a frustrating half for the Stormers.
A further two penalties after the restart extended the Blues' lead and they could have put the game beyond doubt when Quentin MacDonald dived for the corner but lost the ball forward.
The Stormers' patience finally paid off when captain Jean de Villiers released Juan de Jongh for a run at the posts, then collected the looping offload and bulldozed his way over for the first try of the match.
Another Noakes penalty made it 18-10 before de Villiers cut loose from the midfield and outpaced Frank Halai for his second try with six minutes on the clock.
Pietersen added the conversion and the Stormers were given a final chance from a scrum as the siren sounded.
They worked the ball through 21 phases looking for an opportunity, finally giving the ball to Jantjies, who mis-kicked, sending the ball skidding along the turf from the side of his boot.

Vt. encourages more landowners to open to huntingThe Associated Press | November 05,2013BENNINGTON - The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is encouraging landowners to make their properties available to hunters.
The department says amount of posted land has roughly doubled between 1971 and 2011, about 100,000 acres to between 200,000 and 230,000.
Hunting license sales have also been on the decline, from about 91,000 licenses sold in 1987 to about 73,500 in 2004.
The Bennington Banner reported that recent legislation has given landowners the option to use "hunting by permission" signs, which work similar to posted signs but are more inviting. The signs are still being worked on.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged
