Terrebonne Parish Port Commission to sign on multimillion-dollar shipyard
Published: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 at 9:40 a.m.
Plans to build a new shipyard at the Terrebonne Port that would create as many as 1,000 temporary and permanent jobs and would benefit the economy is a step away from becoming a reality, port officials said.
The $65-million project agreement between the port and LAShip, a subsidiary of Galliano-based Edison Chouest Offshore will be finalized at 11 a.m. Wednesday in the Terrebonne Parish Council chamber, officials announced at the Terrebonne Port Commission monthly meeting Tuesday.
This is a home run for the port in both aspects, it will create an enormous amount of jobs and it will generate a lot of tax dollar for the local economy, port director David Rabalais said, adding that the project fits into the mission of port becoming an economic engine in the parish.

Mike Moran is leaving IBM after 30 years to take a position in the newly created role of Chief Strategist at social media marketing agency, Converseon. Moran will be involved in the development of Conversation Miner as well as provide consulting to Converseon clients.
"We're thrilled to have Mike join us," said Rob Key, Converseon CEO. "He brings to the table the perfect combination of industry-leading expertise with hands-on knowledge of how to internally adopt and promote these practices within complex, enterprise environments. As we often say, social media can be technically relatively simple, but culturally quite difficult. His experience will be invaluable as we help leading brands develop and execute innovative social media campaigns. He will also play a key role in consolidating Converseon's position as a leading social media marketing and consulting agency offering end-to-end services, from listening to engaging to measuring."
While at IBM, Moran led several search technology projects including IBM's OmniFind search and text analytics products, the first commercial linguistic search engine, and automatic categorization technology for business search at ibm.com. He has been granted multiple patents and is the author of Do It Wrong Quickly: How the Web Changes the Old Marketing Rules.
"With their focus on pushing the edges of innovation in reputation management, search marketing and social media, Converseon is the ideal fit for me," said Mike Moran. "I look forward to working with their standout team and clients."

Palin, Perry Not on Iowa Straw Poll
Guess they waited a tad too long before announcing.
The official Ames Straw Poll ballot was released today, and boy are there going to be some pissed-off Republicans. Perhaps most noteworthy is that neither Sarah Palin or Rick Perry — who just yesterday said he was still mulling a presidential run — were included. While the straw poll is in no way a binding vote, it is often looked to as an early bellwether of a candidate's support. And since the poll tends to favor candidates who are popular among the state's evangelical voters, this could be a pretty big missed opportunity for Perry, who was being seriously courted by social conservatives.
The other surprise was actually two names included on the ballot: those of ostensible front-runner Mitt Romney and (is he even still running?) Newt Gingrich. Both had declared they would sit out the affair, no doubt aware they'd place near the bottom. A valiant effort, Mitt, but looks like you'd better get to work preparing an alternative story for why Iowa Republicans just aren't that into you. And as for those die-hard Palin and Perry (or even Giuliani) fans out there in Iowa, a shred of good news: There's always the write-in option.

Well made connector...tight fit in all HDMI outlets.
Good price..
HDMI cable is very inexpensive and quite long
l purchase this for my new blu-ray player. and l think this cable made a differance because its a flat cable. the price was about $4.00 more than others, but its worth it! because of the sound and better picture.
HDMI cables are very overpriced right now. This cable from WalMart is much less expensive, is six rather than three, feet long, and was delivered site-to-store in just a few days. Outstanding value

In my experience, the heyday of couponing peaked some months ago. I've been an avid coupon user for years, before the author discovered couponing. Coupons enable me to send many much needed items in care packages to our troops serving in the Middle East wars. Yes, I often got free toothpaste, toothbrushes, body wash, free whatever. My self-imposed net cost limit was 25 cents per item. Now it is up to $1. The bargains are not as available. I use coupons in combination with store sales and rebate programs available at many of the drug stores, and they simply are not as good as they used to be. Nevertheless I will continue to buy with coupons to support our troops now in Afghanistan until they all come home. Coupons definitely help, but not as much as years ago. Totally agree that items purchased with coupons should be shared with others if not needed by the household. Wouldn't spend $6 to learn how to use coupons though.

Beckman Coulter reports that it will begin accepting clinical samples for genetic sequencing. The company has obtained a CLIA certificate of registration along with Massachusetts State Licensure.
This certification paves the way for detection of BRAF exon 11 (codons 439–477) and exon 15 (codons 581–620) for mutations using PCR-based DNA sanger sequencing, the first clinical molecular diagnostic assay the company has developed. Plans call for Beckman Coulter Genomics to develop further CLIA-certified assays using next-generation sequencing for a number of oncology and infectious disease applications.
"This certification allows Beckman Coulter to work more closely with physicians to bring the promise of high-quality molecular diagnostics to benefit a greater numbers of patients," says Joseph Repp, vp and GM of Beckman Coulter Genomics. "We're actively working to bring additional assays to physicians and clinical researchers across the country as well as help all our customers further their understanding of genetic involvement in disease states."
Beckman Coulter, based in California, develops, manufactures, and markets products that simplify, automate, and innovate complex biomedical tests. The firm says that more than 275,000 of its systems operate in both diagnostic and life science laboratories on six continents.

It's Back! Whizgiggling Productions' hilarious holiday tradition!
The Best Little Newfoundland Christmas Pageant….Ever! is seemingly a dull task for Mrs. O'Brien, who has been put in charge when the original leader, Mrs. Armstrong, breaks her leg. What could be so hard? It's always the same Mary and Joseph and it's always the same Christmas carols, but no one was expecting the Herdmans to show up for the auditions! The Herdmans are "the worst kids in the world" who don't know anything about Christmas, beyond the hamper they get every year, and have only showed up because they heard there were free refreshments. What has the potential to be the worst Pageant ever turns out to be the best one as everyone learns the true meaning of Christmas.

The country's capital doesn't just sit down and lose the competition of becoming one of the best travel sites in India. As the capital, New Delhi is home to various religious structures where celebrations are almost monthly and business is really bustling in this city. Going to New Delhi is very easy as the Indira Gandhi International Airport is located right in the city. As a tourist, you'll have access to some of the historical places; one of them is the Red Fort. This fortified structure was built during the 17th century. Inside the fort are numerous palaces and monuments that you can visit. Every August 15, the Independence Day, Red Fort becomes the platform of the Prime Minister of the country. From there he will greet the people and give a message for the country. Humayun's Tomb is a UNESCO heritage site. With a small entrance fee, you'll gain access to one of India's most beautiful tombs with gardens that complement the beauty of the structure. The second UNESCO heritage site is Qutb Complex. A collection of Mosques and monuments, the structures were built in the 13th century. Aside from the structures to visit for the weekend, New Delhi is also host to numerous festivals. Among them is the Festival of Light or the Diwali, the Qutub Festival where performers from all over India go to New Delhi to perform and the Spring Festival.

This was one of our most asked-for feature requests after last year's event, and it's a great way for everyone to highlight their achievements on their favorite site across the network.

The all-time strikeout leader in American League history, Roger Clemens won seven Cy Young Awards, the 1986 Most Valuable Player Award, and had a colorful and controversial career. In 2008, his reputation was tainted after an appearance before a Senate Committee as he tried to wriggle out of allegations that his former trainer injected him with steroids. A flamethrower, Clemens often matched his heater with a hot-temper, once being ejected from a playoff game as a member of the Red Sox, and later as a Yankee, nearly causing a riot when he hurled part of a broken bat at the Mets' Mike Piazza in the 2000 World Series. As a pitcher, Clemens dominated hitters with a high fastball and a sharp curveball. He led the AL in ERA six times, won 20 games six times, and racked up five strikeout titles. He holds the Red Sox career record for K's and tied Cy Young for most wins for that franchise. After two Cy Young Award seasons for Toronto in the 1990s, "Rocket" was traded to the Yankees, where he haunted his former Red Sox employers by winning two World Series rings. In 2001, at the age of 39, Clemens won 20 of his first 21 decisions en route to his sixth Cy Young award. He spent a couple of successful seasons with Houston, pitching part-time, and received a similar deal that prompted his return to the Bronx in 2007. Sadly, Clemens has found himself in many post career controversies.

Quotes From
"He's the one who gave me a chance to get to the World Series. This is where I wanted to be all along. We had a couple of nice offers from other teams, but I tied my agent's hands. I told them I wanted to be a Yankee." - Roger Clemens on why he signed with George Steinbrenner's Yankees
Replaced By
It appears, in light of the steroid allegations against him, that 2007 was his final season in uniform. He was a non-factor for the Yankees in their rotation in 2007, and will probably be replaced by a young pitcher.
Best Season
We picked this season because his ERA of 2.05 was more than 2.5 runs better than the American League average. He won the triple crown for the Blue Jays, leading in wins, K's and ERA. FWIW, this is the season in which his former trainer claims Clemens first used steroids.
Factoid 1
Twice in one month - July 1st and 21st in 1987 - Roger Clemens threw complete games without recording a single strikeout.
Selected by Boston Red Sox in the 1st round (19th pick overall) of the free-agent draft (June 6, 1983) Granted free agency (November 5, 1996) Signed by Toronto Blue Jays (December 13, 1996) Traded by Toronto Blue Jays to New York Yankees in exchange for Homer Bush, Graeme Lloyd and David Wells (February 18, 1999).

The heat.
His sometimes volatile personality, and his tubborness (see the collapse of his character in 2008 when he testified before Congress and his extra-marital affair was revealed).
Clemens twice struck out 20 batters in a nine-inning game. On April 29, 1986, he fanned 20 Mariners in a 3-1 at Fenway Park; ten years later, on September 18, 1996, he set down 20 Tigers on strikes, also at Fenway Park. In the first contest, in 1986, he had struck out eight straight batters, tying an AL record held jointly by Nolan Ryan and Ron Davis�. From mid-1998 and into 1999, Clemens won 20 straight games to tie the mark held by Hall of Famer Rube Marquard� Clemens won his second straight pitching triple crown in 1998 (leading in ERA, K's and wins). He joined Pete Alexander, Lefty Grove and Sandy Koufax as the only hurlers to do that.
The Rocket in Ultimate Games
Clemens started Game Seven of the '86 Playoffs against the Angels, pitching into the 8th inning in a 8-1 Red Sox victory; he did not pitch in Game Seven of the WS in '86, having started Game Six; Clemens lost Game One and Game Four of the 2000 ALDS against the A's and did not appear in Game Five; in 2001, Clemens started and lost Game One against the A's and came back to start Game Five, leaving with a one-run lead in the 5th; in the 2001 World Series, Clemens started Game Seven and left in the 7th in a 1-1 deadlock; in 2003 Clemens started Game Seven of the ALCS against the Red Sox, leabing in the fourth inning with a 4-0 deficit. The Yanks rallied and he did not get a decision. Overall, Clemens has started four UG's, with a personal 1-0 record, and his teams have went 2-2.
Clemens 3,000th strikeout victim was Tampa Bay Devil Rays' outfielder Randy Winn, on July 5, 1998... On June 13, 2003, Clemens won his 300th game, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in Yankee Stadium. In that contest, he also reached the 4,000 strikeout mark, fanning Edgar Renteria.

Ninja Theory's Devil May Cry is set in an alternate universe
The controversial redesign of Devil May Cry's protagonist and backstory may not be canonical.
An article in Dengeki PlayStation, as reported by Siliconera, claims Ninja Theory suggested that the events of its game take place in an alternate universe.
If the reboot is set in a parallel world, then the Dante of the first four Devil may Cry games continues to exist in the canonical universe of the series, as well as in crossovers like Marvel vs Capcom 3, and may return elsewhere.
Ninja Theory's Dante is a young, dark-haired asylum escapee with demonic and angelic powers courtesy of his mixed supernatural parentage. Since reveal, the design has been subject to vocal opposition from some fans.
DmC: Devil May Cry is expected on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012.

Read an Excerpt
Sonya Adams froze. The sight of the cougar left her as rigid as the little girl sitting in the snow. For eternal seconds the triangle of animal, child and woman remained unmoving. I don't owe these people anything, Sonya told herself. They kidnapped me to get media attention. They may kill me. Then with no more thought than she'd give to breath itself, Sonya began to inch toward Willow, keeping her eyes on the huge lion, at least seven feet from its reddish nose to the tip of its twitching tail. Its teeth were bared, its ears pinned back.
My God, it's going to spring.
The girl started to sob.
"Willow, it's okay," Sonya said in a deliberately loud voice. "It's just a big old cat. Please don't cry, and I want you to stay really still. Do you know how to play freeze tag?" The whole time she talked, Sonya moved closer to her, saw the girl nodding her answer, and said, "Good. I want you to stay frozen right now. That's really important."
Four more steps and she could stand in front of her. As she eased forward, she slowly slipped off her bearskin coat, then raised it high above her head, making herself look as large as possible.
One more big step and she'd be standing between Willow and the cougar. But that's when her leg post-holed in the snow, all the way to her thigh. She almost toppled over, and felt a stabbing spasm in her lower back when she righted herself.
To her horror, the lion's hind feet pumped, ready to leap.
All over the world, people were riveted to their televisions for another glimpse of kidnapped fashion model Sonya Adams, held captive in what appeared to be a survivalist encampment somewhere in thewilderness of the Pacific Northwest. Passengers for an American Airlines flight from Chicago O'Hare to Miami crowded closer to a screen tilted down toward the departure lounge.
A blue-suited gate attendant announced that boarding was about to begin. "Quiet!" snapped a tall man in a dark overcoat. He and the other passengers had their eyes trained on CNN, which was airing the latest Terra Firma podcast. This one, however, did not feature Sonya.
Only a document stamped Top Secret filled the screen, as the altered voice of the podcast's female narrator-an environmental hero or a lunatic terrorist, depending on one's perspective-announced, "On Christmas day, Terra Firma will post this highly classified CIA report on the Web. It will be our gift to the world. But we are sorry to say that it is far more frightening than any act ever contemplated by any terrorist anywhere. 'Methane: Global Warming and Global Security' was authored by scientists with the highest security clearances in our government."
The podcast showed a close-up of the title. "The report reveals that officials know that massive deposits of methane that had been frozen in the seabed of the Arctic Ocean for millions of years are releasing into the atmosphere in amounts far greater than has ever been recorded-or revealed-publicly."
"Oh, my God," a woman said.
"Methane," the podcast narrator continued, "traps heat at more than twenty times the rate of carbon dioxide. For eons the frozen seabed, like the permafrost on land, has sealed billions of tons of methane under the Arctic Ocean. The methane was stabilized by cold temperatures and the pressure of the water above it.
"But temperatures have increased dangerously in the Arctic, and the methane is now releasing from the seabed over thousands of square miles in what scientists are calling 'methane chimneys.' Huge releases of methane in the past have been linked by renowned scientists to the hothouse conditions that gave rise to dinosaurs. We will give the government till Christmas, just ten days, to publish this report first and explain why it has hidden these terrifying developments from the world's people. We say to the government: break your ties to Big Oil, Big Coal, and big money."
The screen went blank.
People everywhere turned to one another in alarm.
At O'Hare, the crowd stood in stunned silence.
"Dinosaurs?" A young man with an iPod pulled out an earbud. "Did she say 'dinosaurs?'"

Hello everybody.
I'm trying to make a full width header and footer for my theme, which is a child of the twentyeleven theme.
I have tried putting the <header id="branding" role="banner"> above the <div id="page" class="hfeed"> and setting widths in my css, even tried making a container div for the branding to go in to get it to sit centrally. All that seems to end up happening is i get a horizontal scroll bar and the header is offset from the rest of the page.
Anyone offer up any suggestions as to how to style the header to full width. I assume it has to go outside of the page div, otherwise it`ll be continually restricted by the page container width.
I just want the header to be a gray colour all the way across at all resolutions, im sure you know what i mean ;)
Thanks for looking ;)

This amazing compendium of information was conceived and written for teachers, social workers, nurses, ministers, and guidance counselors, but most of all for intelligent parents who would like an authoritative guide for child care. Physicians would find it a rapid reference of bona fide information upon which they may rely, and in a brief and concise form.
The book is divided into two sections. Part I is a detailed guide to child care and guidance, containing more than 1000 entries arranged alphabetically and including all information relative to child care from "Acne" to "Youth Organizations," there apparently being no data in the "Z" category. All of this material is completely cross indexed, which markedly increases its value. Part II is made up of 30 chapters on basic aspects of child development and guidance, written by leading authorities in the field.

I'm trying to style wp_list_pages and wp_list_categories together so they make one seamless navbar. You can see it here:
The first 5 items in the navbar are pages and the last two are categories. Because of the way lists are handled I remved the list from categories and it works in every browser that I've tried except Safari, where the last item is padded below the others.
The style sheet is here: http://tinyurl.com/2nr6zv
and most of the stuff that relates to the navbar is at the top.
Any ideas?

The Radio Science Experiment is one of the on board experiments of the Mercury ESA mission BepiColombo that will be launched in 2014. The goals of the experiment are to determine the gravity field of Mercury and its rotation state, to determine the orbit of Mercury, to constrain the possible theories of gravitation (for example by determining the post-Newtonian parameters), to provide the spacecraft position for geodesy experiments and to contribute to planetary ephemerides improvement. This is possible thanks to a new technology which allows to reach great accuracies in the observables range and range rate; it is well known that a similar level of accuracy requires studying a suitable model taking into account numerous relativistic effects. In this paper we deal with the modelling of the space-time coordinate transformations needed for the light-time computations and the numerical methods adopted to avoid rounding-off errors in such computations.

so that you can still enjoy the sunlight without it being too bright or harsh.
To add insult to injury, the roofing contractor that would put his workers
up on your roof without insurance is the same contractor
that would probably ignore most safety requirements.
Thanks TFF.

Resourceful 'Lassie' Proves Movies Always Have a Place For the Strong, Silent Type
'Fried Worms' Is Less Appealing Than It Sounds; 'Not Yet Rated' Takes Aim at Ratings System
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
Now that Tom Cruise has been tossed off the Paramount lot for, among other apparent offenses, trash talking psychiatry as well as anti-depressants, and jumping on the furniture, let it be known that a replacement is waiting in the wings.
Admittedly, the performer I have in mind has herself been known to leap onto a sofa every now and then, but she isn't one for running off at the mouth. Further, she has great magnetism, takes direction well, has marvelously expressive, melting brown eyes, a glorious honey-blonde mane of hair (it's her NATURAL color -- take that, Paris Hilton), and like all true superstars, is immediately recognizable by her first name: Here, Lassie!
The 11th feature film starring that highly resourceful collie follows the basic storyline of the 1943 classic, "Lassie Come Home" with Elizabeth Taylor and Roddy McDowall. World War II is but months away, but in Greenhall, an insular Yorkshire village, all the talk is of the tapped-out coal mine and the men, among them Sam Carraclough (John Lynch) about to be thrown out of work. Money is so tight that when the local aristocrat, the Duke of Rudling (Peter O'Toole in clover) asks to buy the Carraclough's beloved collie for his granddaughter Cilla (Hester Odgers), Sam makes the deal though it means heartbreak for his son Joe (Jonathan Mason) -- to say nothing of young audiences.
Lassie is wretched in her new surroundings -- the kennel keeper (Steve Pemberton) is a brute with a wide streak of Inspector Javert -- and makes several escapes home to Joe. But now the Duke, collie in hand, is decamping for his stately home in the north of Scotland 500 miles from Yorkshire. Joe's parents tell him he has to get on with it, that Lassie is gone forever and better off in her new posh surroundings. Well, not so fast. When Lassie sees her chance, she makes a break for it.
The Scottish scenery is spectacular; the going is tough, the adventures many. Lassie is shown the business end of a rifle, she endures hunger and thirst, has to outfox dog catchers in Glasgow, unwittingly serves as matchmaker to an appealing young couple, and, in the movie's most touching vignette, becomes part of a puppet show when she's taken in by an itinerant street entertainer (the very good Peter Dinklage). Concurrent with Lassie's escape into the wild, the Duke's homesick granddaughter attempts her own getaway from boarding school. The smart money is on the doughty dog.
Mason and Odgers are charming young performers with cheeks that shade of pink generally found only in picture books or among English school children. That color goes perfectly here. There is an unabashed old-fashioned quality to the story-telling, not quaint, not fusty, but very much of another era -- and what a relief that is.
'How to Eat Fried Worms'
An injudicious bet forms the basis for a slender children's book turned slender feature film. Eleven-year-old Billy (Luke Benward) is none too pleased when his dad's new job means the family has to uproot and move to a new town and he has to start all over again at a new school.
Things do not begin well. Billy is jeered by the class bully, Joe (Adam Hicks) and Joe's posse from the moment he rides his bike on to the campus; he's taunted as he walks down the corridor; he's ridiculed in class by everyone except the very tall, very compassionate Erica (Hallie Kate Eisenberg). Finally, one of Joe's henchmen steals his lunch sack and fills the thermos with worms, thus leading to the challenge that sets the plot in motion. Billy, who has a notoriously weak stomach -- for him motion sickness follows motion -- bets Joe he can down 10 worms. A piece of cake. Joe bets Billy can't. The loser will have to come to school with annelids in his pants.
"Fear Factor" by way of Roald Dahl filtered through "Stand By Me," "How to Eat Fried Worms" follows Billy's fortunes as he tries to make good on his impulsive wager to eat 10 worms by nightfall. This plays out to mean a fried worm, a worm in hot sauce, a worm in marshmallow, a worm in an omelet, with each iteration more vile than the one before. Along the way, there are lessons about loyalty, peer pressure -- and the folly of putting worms in a microwave.
After the first bit of fish bait is consumed, actually even before, this one-trick movie is a tough slog. Predictably, the fat kid is a loser, the bully is himself the victim of bullying and the adults are clueless.
'This Film is Not Yet Rated'
In 1968, the Motion Picture Association of America, under the leadership of then-president Jack Valenti (MPAA) established a ratings system. Depending on your point of view, it's either a way to help parents make educated choices about what their children can see at the multiplex, or, very simply, a form of censorship. The former is the position long taken by Mr. Valenti -- "Parents find this system useful," he has said. The latter has long been the belief of myriad independent filmmakers, many of whom appear in Bruno Kirby's engaging documentary "This Film is Not Yet Rated," an examination of the ratings and their effect on American culture. It opens today in New York and Los Angeles.
The ABC's of G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17 are a knotty business, one that the Oscar-nominated Kirby tries valiantly and amusingly to untangle. Through interviews with directors like Matt Stone ("South Park") Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don't Cry") Mary Harron ("American Psycho"), and footage from their movies, Mr. Kirby explores whether independent films are judged more harshly than the products of the big studios. Do depictions of gay sex tend to brand a movie with an NC-17 (a dreaded rating since it generally means a skimpier marketing budget) while depictions of straight sex earn a more palatable R? Why, in that old argument, does violence get off easier than sexual content? And why oh why is there no consistency to all this? Why, "A Dirty Shame" director John Waters plaintively asks -- in the manner of a kid asking why HE got nailed for throwing chalk and the other perps didn't -- do some movies with strong language, violence and sexual content get an R and others with precisely the same amount of colorful talk, gore and heavy breathing get the more demure PG-13 (and vice versa).
No answers are forthcoming from the MPAA board of reviewers -- not about its members, their qualifications, their methodology or their standards. Determined to penetrate the organization, a star chamber on Encino, Calif.'s Venture Boulevard, Mr. Kirby, hires private detective Becky Altringer, who's one of the great comic assets of the documentary.
Kirby briefly deals with the MPAA's attempts to protect copyright and defend against piracy but that section of the movie seems perfunctory and unfocused. And as amusing as the "Roger and Me" style search for MPAA members is, there isn't much payoff when they're identified -- except for the opportunity it provides Kirby and Detective Becky to root through some garbage to find a ratings form. It features check-off boxes for several of our more durable profanities.
In the ultimate test, Kirby submits this very documentary to the tender mercies of the MPAA. It gets slapped with an NC-17 for graphic content. He appeals. He loses -- ten votes to zip.

DVD TIP: Before there was 1998's "The Parent Trap" with Lindsay Lohan playing twins separated at birth by their divorcing parents and who meet a dozen years later and plot to reunite Mom and Dad, there was Hayley Mills playing the dual role in the 1961 charmer.
Corrections & Amplifications:
The documentary "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" was directed by Kirby Dick. This review incorrectly said it was directed by Bruno Kirby.

First you should find McKinley Avenue on a Franklin County map. Did you know that you can get a free Franklin County map at the Franklin County Engineers Office located at 970 Dublin Road, in Columbus, Ohio? Even on weekends or after hours there is an outdoor drive up box where you can pick up a free map.
McKinley Avenue was named after President William McKinley the 25th president of the United States and a Civil War Veteran. He was also the 39th Governor of the State of Ohio. In 1901 McKinley was in Buffalo New York when he started to shake the hand of a spectator there. To hide the gun he was carrying that spectator had wrapped his hand in a white handkerchief making it look like a bandage. Our 25th president was shot twice and died 8 days later.
On the west side of McKinley Avenue between Fifth Avenue and Trabue Road you will find an often overlooked Ohio Landmark called, Shrum Mound. My grandson Zachary calls it his mountain, because he and I have been climbing it since hes been old enough to walk. Zach is five years old now but this Adena Indian Mound is still one of his favorite places to go. If youve grown up in Ohio you should know all about the Adena and Hopewell Mound-builders, having been taught all about them is elementary school. If youve forgot about them then get online ; there is a ton of interesting websites that will inform you.
The Shrum Mound is thought to be a burial mound, but some historians think it might have also been used as a signal mound as well. There should be ample parking in front of the gate, but be careful with young ones that they dont stray into the street. At this small park there are several plaques and a Historical Marker that you can read to learn more about this mound. Shrum Mound also has a website that you can visit: http://www.ohioexploration.com/shrummound.htm
As you walk around this mound notice the stone wall that surrounds it, this wall will be very important to you in your quest for the letterbox. Though it is not mandatory for you to climb to the top of this mound, your first task will be much easier from the top of the mound than from down below; also the view from the top is spectacular.
Whether from the top or from the bottom your first goal is to count the trees that are in this park, but only the trees that are INSIDE of the stone fence. Remember this number!
Now walk to the west side of the mound, this will be the side opposite the gate. Along the western wall there is one single tree just inside the wall. If you are adventurous enough to descend down the rear of the mound which is quite steep you will already be very close to this tree. With your bottom resting on the wall just north of that tree and facing back east, walk on compass heading equal to the number of trees that you counted. Keep walking until you run into the north wall. From the point where you intersect the wall and still inside of the wall you should be able to find a large root that has surfaced from below ground, like a submarine coming up from the deep. This is no small root, it is as big as your leg, and there is only one in the whole park so you should be able to find it.
Do not shy away from this letterbox if you dont have a compass, or you are not sure how to use one. Simply stick to the west wall and walk north to the corner, turning and following along the north wall until you find the root.
Now, please do not dismantle the wall ! If you look just one stone east of where the root goes under the wall and at the very base of the wall, there is a small stone that is already loose. We did not loosen it in fact, when we found this hiding spot it was just an empty hole at the base of the wall. We searched for quite a spell to find a stray stone the right size that would plug this hole, so we could hide our box behind it.
Pull gently on the stone and it should slide right out. If it does not then you have the wrong stone. Behind the stone you will find the letterbox. Zach and I hope you have enjoyed your journey and that you like our stamps. Please be discreet if there are others in the park watching you and please put everything back as you found it.
When Zach, Jonathan and I letterbox we try to carry a garbage bag with us so if there is litter around we can do our Boy Scout Duty and leave every site a little cleaner than we found it. We hope you might do the same.
Thank you so much.
Grandma and Grandpa, Zach and Jonathan

Oh Mille®™.. I really enjoyed this. I didn't freeze it..I couldn't wait. It smelled so good. My intentions were good. I prepared it in the morning all the while planning to freeze it, but I couldn't wait so I baked it for dinner. It was delicious. I added more of the herbs to the meat mixture and used more cheese in the potatoes. I not only topped the potatoes with the cheese, I put some cheese IN the potatoes. Wow.. so creamy and good. I loved the taste of the cilantro in the potatoes. That topping is certainly a keeper. The next time I make this I'm going to make it in individual casseroles so I can pop them out as needed and bake them. Thanks again!
We all liked this but weren't wowed by it. I would make it again as it freezes well and will get eaten.
"This recipe is FANTASTIC!" The few changes I had/needed to make to the recipe didn't change taste or quality of the recipe and left me with enough to provide enough for dinner and a casserole to freeze. I had to use an extra 1/2 lb chop meat. Instead of pickled jalapeno for the potatoes, I had to use a fresh jalapeno, minced. I did have to add a diced green pepper and a diced large tomatoe to the base mixture. (garden overload) I did need to make another batch of your fantastic potatoes to cover the casserole that I froze. Not a problem. The potatoe mixture is so delicious, it can stand alone as a great side dish and I intend to make them in the future. It's "company quality" when served with a side salad. Thank you for a treasure that will be added to my favorites.
