I don't really believe this is going to happen, but…
To create room on the roster for Furcal, an infielder will have to go. The obvious move is to designate Nick Green for assignment, but Torre noted the club has two choices: Green, or optioning Blake DeWitt. When asked if it would be tough to send down the club's opening day second baseman, Torre said, "It's always tough to be sent down," but also said a decision has not yet been made. (via TBLA)
Again: I don't really think they'd actually do something that stupid, so this is probably a bit premature. Still, you'd have to think the fact that Torre even acknowledged there's a possibility it could be DeWitt got back to Blake eventually, which is exactly what he doesn't need.
I'm not even going to bother explaining why Nick Green is useless. I've done so many, many times, and while I won't pretend that nine plate appearances is a substantial sample size, it's also not like he's done anything to distinguish himself with the one single he's accumulated. If this happens, the issue here wouldn't even be "DeWitt or Green", as they're making it sound.
No, the issue would be "Blake DeWitt vs. overvaluing Jamey Carroll". As you probably remember, I wasn't a huge fan of the Carroll signing this offseason. Yet, even I'll admit that Carroll's been a nice surprise, playing nearly every single inning at shortstop since Furcal went down in the first place. As expected, he's provided little range and zero power, but he's been solid on the balls he can get to, and his .377 OBP overall is nice. Besides that, he's really stepped it up since he took over the job, with a .396 OBP in the 25 games that Furcal has missed.
Coming from an emergency backup, Carroll's been all you could expect, and considering what a disaster shortstop was in 2008 when Furcal was down, he's really done nicely. I approve. Yet, let's not confuse this with Carroll being a plus player, or someone who ought to be a starter, because he's not. If DeWitt did go down, the team would essentially be saying that they prefer Carroll in the lineup everyday rather than DeWitt, since Carroll would presumably slide over to be the starting 2B.
DeWitt may still be waiting for his first home run, but that's really the only blemish on his season so far. His 106 OPS+ means he's been an above-average hitter this year, as compared to Carroll's below-average 88 OPS+, and DeWitt has also really started to heat up. Since the calendar turned to May, he's got a .288/.333/.492 line, with nine extra-base hits (as compared to Carroll's three in the entire season). That's an .825 OPS, which is fine by me.
On defense, he's clearly been a work in progress, but he's improving there too. Obviously, defensive stats are more prone to small sample size worries than anything else, but even all of the accepted metrics have him at near average or just slightly below it, which is also better than Carroll's marks.
Again, I don't think this will happen, and I'm fine with Carroll's play thus far. But if the unthinkable occurs – if DeWitt is sent down just as he's heating up, in order to play Carroll more and hold onto Green – it would be a massive mistake. Personally, I'm fine with just DFA'ing Green when Furcal returns, because I consider him to be of no value whatsoever, but knowing how the Dodgers roll, it'll probably be a Haeger-esque phantom DL stint. As if anyone would really claim him on waivers, anyway.
In far sadder news, Jose Lima has apparently died of a heart attack today in Los Angeles. Lima was a Dodger for only one of his thirteen seasons, but that didn't stop him from earning a place in team history. After a 13-5 2004 season which he described as "Lima Time" and had his wife become a minor internet celebrity thanks to her infamous picture while he sang the national anthem, he tossed a complete game shutout at the Cardinals in the NLDS – the first playoff game the Dodgers had won since 1988, and the only won they'd win until 2008. After his one season in LA, he had a horrible 2005 in Kansas City, a short stint with the Mets in 2006, and that was the end of his career. He played in Korea and independent ball in Canada and California trying to get back – that is, when he wasn't popping up in bizarre Deadspin stories about his ex-wife trying to track him down.
An email from the Dodgers included the news that he'd actually been at the game on Friday night, and received a standing ovation from the crowd when introduced (the picture at right). RIP, Lima Time.

Good food, incredible terrace,
good ambience, fair price"
Dined on 4/18/2014
Good food, ambience and service
but 45 minute wait time (beyond time reserved) is not acceptable. The wait was not necessarily the fault of the staff as most diners were just hanging out way too long after finishing their meals. Restaurant should consider taking fewer reservations to maintain a timely turnover. We were not in a rush and quite enjoyed hanging out at the pool bar but that may not be true for those with other plans after dinner."
Dined on 4/19/2014
Our table of five was pleasantly
surprised. No too cool for school pretentious service like soo many boutique hotel restaurants serve up. Filet mignon was on par with Prime 112 and the three copy cat diners at our table all raved about the salmon. Even though we opted for cocktails the sommelier couldn't have been nicer. Atmosphere is great and had views of the well designed and interestingly decorated rear yard plus the people watching is noteworthy. Recommend an after dinner drink at the rear bar with a stellar view of the long narrow pool flanked by mature palms with the Deco hotel in the background. If have dined here in the past under the many prior iterations of the space but never went back for seconds. I will return here. "

Bianca is a beautiful outdoor
restaurant with an eclectic italian menu - definitely not traditional italian. The wine sommelier as well as the waitress and other waitstaff were extremely attentive, constantly checking on us, filling out water glasses, and cleaning the table - everything was seamless. The food on the menu itself didn't particularly thrill me, but I like that it forced me to order things I wouldn't normally. We got the meatball appetizer which was great; the sauce really tasted homemade, like something I would make (but better). I got a tomato salad and the spaghetti squash for my entree. Both were good but not amazing. All in all I do recommend this restaurant, the ambiance is great!"

We had a reservation with my
boyfriend for 9:30 we got seated at 10:30 which was fine, our waitress was terrible she never came to check on us, had an attitude, was rude, took forever to bring us drinks (and we only order soda). After we asked another waitress to bring us the drinks, they never came back, we called the manager he apologized... but she still came back with attitutde.. WORST SERVICE but the food was brought by another man and it was AMAZING BEST PASTA I have tried.. would go back for the food but THE STAFF IS TERRIBLE"

One of the best restaurants around
South Beach. Just let down a little with the all too predictable, miserable token Russian waitress. As usual they're only interested in money or single, ageing wealthy gents rather than providing the usual high quality you one to expect from hard working professional American waiting staff. Shame as this seems to be a growing trend in Miami. As if the reputation for service isn't bad enough, for some bizarre reason firms think they'll win more customers by hiring sullen, poorly trained East European girls. There you go."

We had lunch at Bianca rather than
dinner since our plans changed. We were seated promptly outside with a pretty view of the grounds. Our server was very attentive, the food was delicious and generous portions. It was a very relaxing, unhurried afternoon. Definitely would return on our next S. beach visit."

The wine steward pushed a $200
bottle of wine at us just as we sat down, we rejected it. We picked out a bottle of what we really liked which was $210, he insisted we go with his initial selection to the point we had to accept it. A never heard of before, Italian White. Held it at our table for 10 minutes as he said it wasn't cold enough. Bottom line the wine was not worth it, in fact it tasted like a cheap wine. As for food, they claimed the octopus was their signature appetizer it was not so good but the baratta cheese was. The main course (risotto with truffle, tagliatelle with truffle and short ribs) was good not great but desert stood out (Gelato and terrimisu). For three of us it was $560 with tip. Not worth it."

Dear The restaurant was chosen to
celebrate my husband seventy's, because my niece, Cristine Lengler, has stayed at this hotel and strongly suggested your place. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. The sommelier was insistent in their opinions. My dish came out wrong and that resulted that when the righ dish arrived my husband dish wasn't there and I dined alone! Wasn't what I expected for such a special occasion and a dinner of $ 360.00. Kind regards"

Miami has so many great places to
eat. My wife and I always attempt to find new places each time we are in South Beach. However, Bianca is always on our must stop list. We arrive early have a cocktail in the Rose Bar then make our way to Bianca. We always have a great experience and the staff has always been exceptional. My fear is someday we will arrive and they no longer have the tuna pizza."

Over priced for the quality of the
food. Unexceptional wine list; exceptionally over priced"
Dined on 2/28/2014
We had been to Bianca before when
visiting Miami and enjoyed it. But the place has become a hot spot. The music is louder; food is less thoughtful. The sommelier is annoyingly over the top, and when I asked about pasta dishes, the waiter knee-jerked to recommend the $58 dish of pasta, cream sauce and truffles. It took over 30 minutes to get our car, which the waiter who called the valet neglected to tell us so we stood in the cold (for Florida) rain a very long time. But if you are a single 20-something ready to overspend on drinks just so you can be seen, this is the place for you. We will be going elsewhere."

We were staying at the Delano (the
hotel where Bianca is located) and last minute tried to eat dinner Saturday evening 2/22/14 and upon speaking to the hostess were told they were fully book, to which I replied we're hotel guests..she did not reply. So I whipped out my handy open table app and book at table for 9:15 (it was 9pm) and readdressed the hostess to which she said "Oh well please step away from the podium" We did waited about 30 minutes she never looked up and never addressed us again so we left at next door at the Surfcomber next door Service like this reflects very poorly on a hotel that prides itself on service. This person has no business dealing with the public with her clearly rude and disdainful demeanor."

I am in love with Bianca!!! This

Great experience. Food was
delicious. Service attentive. One thing though is the time between appetizers and main dish is too fast. You are still working on your cocktails, and the food is coming. You have not even started the bottle of wine. We felt rushed! Once we pushed back, it was better. The restaurant ought to know better! Given the price you do not want to be rushed in one hour or so."

The Delano Hotel is a must see
property for anyone visiting Miami Beach and has traditionally offered a high quality dining experience. After many a great experiences at the now closed Blue Door, my wife and I decided to visit Bianca and give it a shot. Below is a recap of our experience; Pros: -The ambience and outdoor dining experience at the Delano is second to none. Romantic, hip, and elegant all in one. -Good service -Proximity to venues for after dinner entertainment (that's if you don't decide to stay at the lobby bar). -The desert sampler very good Cons: -The menu is a bit confusing as it offers italian dishes, sushi, fish and steak. The diversity, although positive, confuses. -high pricepoint vs. food quality and presentation."

I read countless reviews on this
restaurant, both good and bad. I had a terrific time. The reservation I had made was honored without a hitch and my girlfriend and I were led to our table quickly. Upon entering, it was magical. The ceilings were high with beautiful white drapes reaching the top, the lighting was a sexy dim and a small crown began to gather by the bar (which is situated at least 20-30 feet before the dining area. I must say my visit was magical. The food was terrific, service was prompt and the outdoor gardens by the pool was beautiful. It reminded me of my times in South Beach circa 1998. One final note, I proposed to my girlfriend in the gardens. She said yes, so I will never forget Bianca."

I was with a party of 3 to
celebrate a very dear friends Birthday, I could not have asked for a better experience. Our server was amazing and the food was unique and pleasing to the pallet. Having a notes section to the website is an excellent form of communication for request and better, that the restaurant executed the request flawlessly. I had asked if a candle can be put on the dessert that we ordered. They went over and beyond, not only that, they decorated the plate with writing in chocolate. The birthday guest felt it was truly there special day. Thank you so much to the Kitchen and staff at Bianca. And thank you to Open Table"

The place was empty on a Wednesday
night in February accept for the typical business outing crowd. the food was ok the service fair. the prices ridiculous. 475 for a steak and $25 for a martini. There were no beautiful people and those perfunctory tourist that showed up didn't' stay. It's a tired take riding on fumes."
Dined on 2/5/2014
I was completely confused on the
vibe this place. Upon arrival, we were greeted by two not so friendly 20 something year old greeters with dress more appropriate for a strip club then a classy restaurant. Once seated outside, our sommelier seemingly didn't have much knowledge of the wine list. When we asked the difference between two bottles of wine, his only response (and he said this three times) was "it's like comparing apples to oranges". I thought ok, but I could describe both an apple and an orange and yet he kept steering us to one particular bottle of wine, regardless of what we told him we wanted. Top it off with food that was good but not great, and this was not someplace I'd be excited to return."
Dined on 2/1/2014
We enjoy a lot of fine dining as
we travel frequently. The food was good not great. The service was fair. For the prices charged here, we expected excellent service and great food."

The Jora JK125 Composter lets you make perfect compost from your kitchen waste quickly, easily and hygienically. It is a 'continuous-use' dual chamber composter, so you can add new material to one compartment while the other matures. Due to its insulation, the JK125 has a smaller capacity of 4.5 cubic feet. It is ideal for rapid composting of kitchen scraps and light garden waste, but it will not process large amounts of yards clippings as well.
Features & Benefits:
- 'Continuous-use' dual chamber composter
- Attractive design and high quality powder-coated steel construction
- Holds 4.5 cubic feet or 33 gallons of compost
- Side vents provide aeration which speeds composting
- Reduces or eliminates odors
- Fully-enclosed and pest resistant
- Rodent proof - elevated so rodents cannot access waste
- Set up to be either freestanding or mounted
- Exterior: powder-coated steel panels and galvanized steel legs (rust proof)
- Insulation: Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) a stable and absolutely non-toxic plastic
- Includes stainless steel hardware
Rotating Compost:
- Constructed for easy rotation - simply turn by hand after adding waste
- Fresh waste is brought into direct contact with decaying waste, so it processes efficiently
- Adds air to the mixture, providing oxygen that is vital for the process
The composting process generates heat and different microorganisms work at different temperatures. The insulation in the JK125 composter allows the temperature to rise higher than 160F (70C) resulting in faster and more efficient processing of your organic waste. At these temperatures the process is so rapid that fresh waste starts to break down before it has a chance to rot and attract vermin and flies. With its superior insulation, the JK125 Composter will continue working through winter, long after other composters have stopped completely.
Dual Compartments:
The JK125 is divided into two compartments, so one side can be filled while the other side's compost matures. Once the compartment being filled can take no more, the mature compost can be emptied from the other compartment, and the cycle begins again.
We recommend installing the JK125 on the ground rather than mounting it on a wall. If you decide to mount it, you must determine if the wall is strong enough to handle the load.
What can be composted?
- Raw and cooked food scraps - vegetable, meat or fish
- Cardboard containers e.g. egg trays
- Lawn and garden waste
- Light pet waste (e.g. rabbit or hamster bedding, not dog waste)
The JK125 composter will accept organic household waste or anything biodegradable. After adding waste, it will take about 6 to 8 weeks for each chamber to produce compost. Once both chambers are in operation you should be emptying one chamber every 3 to 4 weeks.
1 Year Manufacturer's Warranty
This composter reduces landfill waste and produces nutrient rich soil for gardening.
100% Satisfaction Guarantee

If you are in any way dissatisfied with a product you ordered, we'll exchange it, replace it or refund your money within 30 days of purchase. Simply email us the problem, and we'll take care of you.

Questions about the Jora JK125 Composter - 4.5 Cubic Feet
- From K at 7/31/10 12:26 PM
- From Polly at 3/7/11 2:42 PM
- How is the compost removed? Does an inner 'drawer' lift out? Is the bin turned up to dump the compost out the opening into a bucket? Thanks!
- Removing the finished compost from the Jora composters is easy, now that Jora has redesigned its composters to have a separate door for each of the side-by-side bins. To empty the compost, wheel your wheelbarrow under the composter, or set a bucket beneath it, and open the door of the chamber with finished compost. As you turn the drum, the compost will spill out into the barrow or bucket. The other chamber has the door closed so it won't empty.
The original Jora had a single door covering both compartments, which made it more difficult to remove the finished chamber. The new design is a great improvement.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Michele at 3/16/11 7:35 PM
- I am a single woman. I rent. I eat home at lot, so I have quite a bit of food scraps. What size Jora would you recommend?
- Hi Michele,
I think the Jora JK125 Composter - 4.5 Cubic Feet is the right model for you. If you were growing a small garden or tending a yard you might want the larger model, but otherwise the 4.5 cu ft model should be ample.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Flav at 12/5/11 8:02 AM
- I live in Miami, Florida, and I am interested in purchasing the JK125 composter. Since very rarely we have freezing temperature downhere, I was wondering if the insulation in the composter could be removed to allow for more useable room.
- Thanks for your question. The insulation cannot be removed from the JK125. Even in warm temperatures, like you would experience year round in Miami, the insulation is necessary to create an environment where temperatures can reach 160F to allow fast and efficient breakdown of food scraps (including meat and fish!). While the insulation does take up some space, it increases the efficiency of the composter considerably.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Liz at 1/6/12 2:54 PM
- Will the composter work in a very shady area (in southern NM so quite warm much of hte time).
- Yes, the Jora will work fine in your area. The shade will not affect the composting process. The Jora is well insulated and will be effective in any environment. If the outside temperature is high, then the composting process will be that much faster.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Linda Vaughan at 5/29/12 11:22 AM
- I am a single woman living alone, and will be starting a very small garden spring 2013 - 8 feet by 3 feet, for a couple of tomato plants, pepper plants, cucumber and some herbs. I do not have any yard work to take care of - just this small garden. Will the Jora 125 be large enough?
Also, I do not plan on ordering until Jan 2013 - will you have this item in stock at that time? Thanks a bunch for your time with these questions.
- Yes. The JK125 is a good size composter for the requirements you describe.
We will continue to stock the Jora composters through 2013. We think they are the best available, and have two Jora's at our home too!

- The Jora composters look just about perfect. I read somewhere that the insulation will not leach into the compost. Does this mean that absolutely no chemicals will get into the compost? My garden is organic, so I want to make sure that my compost is too.
- The insulation in the Jora will not leach into the compost. Your compost will be as organic as the materials you put into it.
The JK125 is a good size for the average home use. If you have a larger garden you might want to look at the JK270.

- The diminsions between the JK125 & JK270 are showing the JK125 is taller at 24" to the door handle. Also noticed the note on the picture indicating a tall stand is now available. Does this mean the JK125 can be emptied into a wheelbarrow now or does it still sit closer to the ground?
- The JK125 now comes with the taller stand as indicated in the picture. With this taller stand it is easy to wheel a wheelbarrow under the composter for emptying. Also, the taller stand means there is no bending over to add materials or spin the drum.

so far so good

Received my composter several weeks ago, very good first impression. Quality materials. went together nice. Have dumped my old compost pile into one bin, now finished. Second bin filling now with fresh materials, but not enough dry brown matter this time of year. Looks pretty soggy in this bin, we'll see how it goes.
I like the two bin system, it's already been useful.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Likely
a beautiful composter

We are very pleased with our new Jora composter, it is beautiful, if one can say that about a composter. Today I'm buying one of your fancy compost pails, since we've moved to a new standard in composting!
To anyone getting one of these composters, put it on cement, pavers, or block up the feet, because the front feet work into the ground when it's soggy. The composter spins easy when level so be sure it's on a solid, level base.
We chose the Jora because of the two bin system. No waiting for batches to finish.

the cat's meow
By 11/26/10on
I have been composting for years using a plastic bin open at the bottom, it was inexpensive but a lot better than our old pile in the corner of the yard. But I forced the lid when it was frozen last winter and cracked it badly. I wanted a new composter that will not crack in the freeze.
This new composter is the cat's meow! It's almost too nice to put compost in.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely yes
should have got the bigger model
By 11/30/10on
The composter is very well constructed and looks good, but now we generate more stuff to put into it than we used to. We compost more because we have this new composter. My wife is even getting food waste from our neighbor. Now I regret buying this model instead of the larger version. I'm hoping to sell this one to our neighbor, then we'll get the larger one.

cadillac composter
By 1/19/11on
This Jora composter is the best of the lot in my opinion because the metal won't expand or distort in the sun like our old one did, and then the lid didn't fit.
The two bins is also the way to go.
My wife calls this one our cadillac composter.
Good design
By 4/5/11on All my reviews (1)
Having done my research on tumbler composter, this one was the standout.
Fast shipment from Eartheasy. Good design and quality materials are evident. Assembly instructions were mediocre, but assembly is fairly straightforward if you're prepared to spend a fair amount of time on it.
As a brand new composter I was disappointed that the Jora is supplied with exactly zero information on composting. A strange oversight.

slight design flaw
By 8/30/11on
I purchased the 4.5 cubic size. While it says 2 people are needed to put together, it can be done alone. The instructions are easy to follow and it came well packed. The only problem I had was the self tighening screws for the metal sides are not staying tight. The screw head strip easily, so go slow when tightening, don't recommend using an electric screw driver.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Not sure
You will not be disappointed with this composter!
By 12/10/13on
My husband bought one for me in the summer of 2012. We then bought one for my parents for Christmas 2012. I've recommended this to many friends. I bought a bag of wood pellets (the kind you put in a wood burning stove) to use with this--so easy! Just put a small cupful in when putting in lots of kitchen scraps. The wood pellets are very cheap and you can get a large bag at Menards. This composter is awesome. Wish I had the larger one. Everyone should have one of these!

Which side project to you prefer?
Dead by Sunrise
Fort Minor
I like them both equally
I don't like neither
Equally I guess, I feel like Mike's music is more creative but chester's lyrics are better
I like them both equally.. Could blast 'em on my player any day.
Because everyone has to know
You're GUILTY ALL THE SAME / Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger / but there's no one else to blame
isn't I don't like neither a double negative and grammatically incorrect (excuse me if I am wrong)?

I felt like killing myself after listening to Dead by Sunrise.
Fort Minor was just badass.
Dead by Sunrise gave us Chester embracing the post-grunge genre and talking about relationships. Out of Ashes was a good album, but it felt sluggish for me and I believed that Chester and Julien K can do more genre-busting music. Most of the songs sounded similar to other artists.
Fort Minor gave us Mike embracing his hip hop roots and expressing his personal and political thoughts whilst jamming with awesome featured artists, mainstream or underground. It's amazing how Mike made The Rising Tied in such a short period of time and yet amaze us with how much skill he has. He made a hip hop album that avoided all possible stereotypes. He made us think about what was really going on in this world.
Dead By Sunrise definitely felt 5 years too late to me, good album but nothing on there sounded fresh to me, and they changed the original version of Let Down, which was 10 times better.
The Rising Tied is a masterpiece, one of my top 5 albums of all time.
Neither of the albums really feel. . . complete to me, I guess. It's hard to explain. Both feel kind of mediocre, for lack of a better word. Chester's music is generic. Mike's lyrics often times don't flow properly. I do like both albums but both have very distinct flaws.
Edit: @NoN, it would be I don't like either.
Fort Minor.
Easy choice.
Fort Minor. The Rising Tied is one of my favourite album.
Fort Minor
Formerly known as Pictureboard.
Mike's rhymes and flow are way better in LP than in Fort Minor, but there are some awesome songs and all instrumentals are kick-ass on The Rising Tied... Apart from Let Down and Morning After, Dead By Sunrise is just "meh" to me...
Fort Minor by far. But a lot of good songs were on the dead by sunrise album like Fire and Too Late. I also like the 80's feel of Let Down. Its just the whole album is way too dark for me. Fort Minor at least at some high points like petrified and remember the name.
I like them both really, each for their own different reasons.

General, President, Founding Father
Like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington is remembered as a Founding Father of our country. Unlike Franklin, who worked privately, Washington was the public leader of an infant nation. Born in Virginia on February 22, 1732, Washington served as Commander in Chief of the colonial forces in the American Revolution. History tells of his strength and leadership as the weakened colonial troops battled against the mighty British armies. Where others might have given up, Washington fought on. After victory against England, George Washington was unanimously elected as the first president of the United States of America. On April 30, 1789, he delivered his inaugural address in New York City. Washington served his country with honor, pride, and dignity. He brought respect to the office of the President, serving as a role model for later presidents. On September 17, 1796, Washington peacefully turned over the power of the presidency to John Adams.
Although he had no children of his own, George Washington was a devoted husband and father to his stepchildren. After leaving office, he returned to his family home, Mount Vernon, in Virginia. Just over three years later, on December 14, 1799, George Washington died at home of a cold he had caught two days earlier.

Update: February 14, 2014
Finally, I have made a decision. I will be headed to Toronto and putting together another BIG trip. I will go west of Toronto and then east to Montreal. I am not going to say where from there, it will be a surprise. So I best get to planning this event. It will be a mix of McDonald on my dad's side and Boardman, Brown and McMurray on my mother's side. It will be again, a two blog thing and maybe just a dash of another.
Update: August 9, 2013
The most complicated part of the clinical trial I am involved with has past. Now I have to see the bills get paid. So this has again postponed the trip and I am looking for August 2014 as the next adventure. I am thinking that it needs to be broken down into two trips. First to Detroit so that I can visit the Brown family sites in LaPeer County (my mother's side) and then into Western Ontario to visit more Brown family sites. The Second would be to fly into Toronto to visit the Archives for Ontario and then head east again to Belleville to do more on the Brown family. I would also work on the McDonald's to see if I can't find Archie and Mary's family. Then if I am clever head to Montreal to go to the ANQ or go to Montreal separately? So many choices and decisions to make.
Update: March 26, 2013
Well life has a funny way of throwing you a curve. I will not be able to make it to Ontario/Michigan in 2013. Money and health issues are interferring with and slowing things down. The other fact is that my trips are usually 3 weeks long and I get very tired and maybe that had something to do with my thyroid situation?
My health issues mean that it might not be a good idea to be gone so long.
I am doing real well but I will need more treatments for my thyroid cancer this coming spring and summer. Hopefully by the middle of summer I will know how it is going.
It doesn't hurt to rethink what I really really want to accomplish. Ask myself what I can do from afar and what I have to do onsite. So it is looking like I can set my sights on spring 2014 and see what I can conjure up. I am okay with it.
Update January 5, 2013:
The Ontario Genealogical Society will hold their annual conference in Oshawa, Ontario which is east of Toronto May 31, to June 1-2, 2013.
I won't make this one because I have to save my money and it means I will be scheduling my trip to western Ontario and Michigan in August/September 2013. I have been dealing with Thyroid Cancer which was diagnosed on July 19th, 2012 and had my thyroid removed in September followed by some cancer treatments. I am doing well. Thyroid cancer treatments are not like other cancer for they use radioactive iodine to treat the cancer. I will have to monitor my results. I have written a little about this cancer that I have had in my blog about my two gentlemen cats. Yeah I know…sounds silly but it is really about caring for our pets and Sneakers and Ebony were part of that treatment and I had to be careful about their health. "The Adventures of Ebony & Sneakers, My Two Gentlemen Cats," at http://bonmac.wordpress.com/
It is time to start planning the next genealogical adventure. I was planning a much bigger trip to Canada but it was too much so I have broken it down into two trips. I completed the first part of the trip last year in Spring of 2012 (see the info below and this blog for those posts). I am now planning to go to the western part of Ontario and part of Michigan and maybe a little of northern Ohio? We will see if I can get it all in? It will involve more of my Brown family origins and a little of my MacDonald/McDonald research for I plan to spend some time in the Ontario Archives in Toronto.
Time to get planning! Bonnie
Update today July 16, 2012:
The trip to Ontario and Quebec has been completed and I returned on June 9, 2012. I finished up the posts covering the trip and there were quite a few. I have also uploaded to Picasa the rest of my cemetery photos and embedded a link in the post that the cemetery refers to. You click on that link and it will take you to the photo album. Also if you look up on the Picasa page you will see menu to open and see all my cemetery photos for other trips.
The posts started with the May 2, 2012 post "Tick Tock! The Time is Approaching!" and includes the trip on May 11, 2012 "British Columbia, A Special Visit!"
The actually beginning of the trip was posted on May 26, 2012 while on the trip and titled "Sunday May 20, 2012: Renfrew County, Ontario" and ended with the June 30, 2012 post: "In Reflection: My Trip to Ontario and Quebec!"
Trip dates were May 20 to June 9, 2012, three weeks of traveling and 2117 miles covered. WOW!
There were 63 posts from May 2 to June 30, 2012. This should help you to zero in a little on the trip time frame. You can go to the right of this blog on the side bar and scroll down to use the Archives to focus on the dates and you will see that there are 6 posts in May and 47 in June. The other option is to use the Categories and focus on the Locations and Cemeteries.
Update 3/15/2012: The itinerary is coming along, the reservations have been made and the days are ticking by as the date for this trip gets ever closer.
The destination is Ontario and parts of Quebec in Spring of 2012. There is a still a lot to prepare for regarding the research which will cover the McDonald's and a little bit on the Browns and Boardmans (see blog link on the right side of this blog).
Some destinations will be Ottawa where the Library and Archives for Canada is located. The Pontiac Archives in Shawville, Quebec and the Upper Ottawa Valley Genealogical Library in Pembroke, Ontario will be targeted. A tour of Allumette Island, Chichester, Sheen and more is planned. This means that both sides of the Ottawa River will be experienced. Cross your fingers that I will be able to find out more on the origins of Archibald, Mary and their families?
Belleville and Trenton are targeted for research on the Brown family. Of course, one of the stops along the way will be the Ontario Genealogical Society Conference held in Kingston, Ontario this June 2012. http://www.ogs.on.ca/conference2012/
If the origins of Archibald and Alexander John McDonell point back to Glengarry County, Ontario then that is another area that will be visited. This will be a challenging genealogical research trip for sure and full of surprises I hope! I will be posting about my trip on this blog as I travel in Ontario and Quebec. I will also post on the Boardmans and Browns blog regarding the part of the trip that covers that research. So keep an eye on both this blog and that blog for upcoming details as well: http://boardmanbrown.wordpress.com/ Bonnie – 3/15/2012
