Photographs and Family History: Tips for Dating and Identifying Family Photos

"Finding the Only Child's Niece" - Truth and Fiction in Genealogical Sources
Presenter – Debra Braverman
Sometimes when researching family history, it becomes evident what we think we know to be true is, in fact, not true. What resources and research techniques can be used to prove or disprove "facts?" How do we reconcile what we find with what we have been told?
Professional genealogist, Debra Braverman, will present a variety of case studies to illustrate the process of evaluating and reconciling family stories and research findings. Ms. Braverman is a forensic genealogist, specializing in research for probate and intestacy, and in 19th and 20th century NYC research.

Last year, Good Beer Hunting and Intelligentsia Coffee launched a collaboration exploring the intersection of coffee and beer making called Uppers & Downers. See the whole story >>
For 2014, we're going to dive deeper into the thinking and processes behind the much-loved but under-explored beer style of the coffee beer. The Uppers & Downers series of events will provide hands-on education and experiences for homebrewers and aficionados in the lead-up to the main event tentatively scheduled for September in Chicago. (stay tuned)
Join us for some, or all, of the events and enjoy the Uppers & Downers journey with the rest of us.
A complete tour of the Intelligentsia Roastery on Chicago's west side with a hands-on roasting experience and tasting:
- Take home three different coffee roasts to experiment with
- Taste a prototype carbonated iced coffee brew on draft!
- Donuts from Stan's
An amazing coffee sensory experience lead by one of Intelligentsia's earliest direct trade pioneers, Geoff Watts. Learn about coffee growing regions, the organic chemistry of flavor, and the wide variety of aromas.
- Taste different origins, elevations, methods
- Try a variety of local brewers' experiments with coffee
- Virtue Cider + Madcap coffee-cherry steeped cider
- 5 Rabbit + Gaslight Coffee Yodo con Leche coffee milk stout
Get hands-on with a variety of coffee extraction methods that can provide different results for coffee beer making.
Blend and taste the results in a range of beers and ciders that explore the outer edges of the style, far beyond the common coffee stout.
Short presentations by brewers who have explored the style in new ways.
Sample and vote on coffee beers that have graduated from the Uppers & Downers series of events. Help us pick a "People's Choice" winner that will go on to pour alongside out official category champions at the Uppers & Downers main event in the fall.
Bring a bottle of your favorite coffee beer or homebrew to share if you'd like!

"The chemistry of dissatisfaction is as the chemistry of some marvelously potent tar. In it are the building stones of explosives, stimulants, poisons, opiates, perfumes and stenches."
Related quotes
"We practiced with the guys. But with their chemistry, (the Tar Heels) know when to trap. ... We weren't consistent with it. We would get great ball movement and open shots, but sometimes we'd be tentative and turn the ball over."
"Listen, Tar, ... This is the real problem: whatever happens, I shall always defend you against the firing squad. But you will be obliged to approve my being shot. Think about that."
"Tar Heel would always come through and just pound North State. But it was fun, and I think it's always going to be fun for everyone involved. You had the two leagues, and you always met up for the city championship, and then you were also separated in all-stars. It was really cool how they did it, but when you were playing a team from North State, you wanted to represent well for the Tar Heel League."
"Generally, once a tar ball forms it remains at the bottom and is moved along at the bottom of the ocean by wave action,"

Check the status of 32 planned developments throughout the region.
Cal Ripken baseball
The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation will build a baseball-fields complex in Fredericksburg, near the Bragg Hill neighborhood. This would complement the various other programs the foundation is already sponsoring in area schools and youth-serving organizations. The group will conduct a fundraising campaign this year to build the fields, which could cost about $2 million.
Celebrate Virginia Gondola
The plan: The Silver Cos. proposes building a gondola to shuttle tourists from one side of the Rappahannock River to the other. It would link its Celebrate Virginia North project, which includes Cannon Ridge Golf Club, with Celebrate Virginia South, the site of the proposed Kalahari Resorts water park as well as the Fredericksburg Expo & Conference Center, various hotels and other attractions.
Status: The holdup has been finding someone to operate the gondola, said Jud Honaker, the Silver Cos. president of commercial development. He has had preliminary discussions with Kalahari Resorts about running it.
Fredericksburg recently agreed to work with Keating Development Corp. to explore the possibility of putting a new courts complex on the site the post office now occupies on Princess Anne Street. The city still has to decide whether to build the roughly $60 million project in phases or all at once. Officials have set a goal of opening the new courts by the end of 2010.
The plan: Local developers Hunter Greenlaw and Andy Garrett planned to start construction by the end of 2002 on the first phase of a development that would include 398 apartments, offices, retail space, a 10-acre public park adjacent to Hazel Run and a paved trail toward downtown.
Status: Two apartment buildings have been completed, and a bridge into the project awaits inspection by the city.

Nobody's Home by Tim Powers
Tim Powers' fourth novel, The Anubis Gates, was such a perfectly crafted, fully self-contained work that I doubt very much if any of his legion of fans could have reasonably expected a sequel. Released originally in 1983, the book has gone on to become a classic of sorts in both the "steampunk" and "secret histories" fantasy subgenres, deservedly earning itself both the Philip K. Dick Award and a pride of place in Jones & Newman's Horror: 100 Best Books. Showcasing Powers' gift of seemingly limitless imagination combined with a staggering amount of historical research, the novel was a true dazzler; as I enthused after my initial read, its "way-out plot manages to conflate the brainwashed 'ka' of Lord Byron, a body-hopping werewolf, an underground criminal society headed...

The Paper Magician: Mildly entertaining
The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg
The Paper Magician, by Charlie N. Holmberg, has a nicely original premise and a unique heroic quest, but the overall impact is marred by a trite romance, a somewhat flat main character, and a sense that it all goes on a bit long.
In this world, magic users "bond" to a particular material — rubber, metal, plastic — and work with that material (and only that material) the rest of their lives. Ceony Twill has just graduated from magic college (thanks to an anonymous sponsor) and been assigned, much to her dismay, to become a "Folder" — one who specializes in paper magic. Apprenticed to full magician Emery Thane, she is just starting to learn that maybe paper magic isn't as dull/bad as she feared, when Thane is suddenly attacked and left for dead, his heart stolen from him by an Excisioner — a blood magician. Ceony finds herself having to journey thr... Read More
Rendezvous with Rama: Leaves the reader humbled
Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke
Extension of scale is an advantage science fiction has over other forms of literature, and it's an idea Clarke puts to best use in Rendezvous with Rama. Rather than in a three dimensional sense wherein space extends infinitely, he instead uses scale to show how humanity and its accomplishments take on new meaning when viewed from the perspective of the cosmic unknown.
Bearing strong resemblance to the writings of Stanislaw Lem, Rendezvous with Rama tells the story of earth's brief encounter with an enormous object/spacecraft that one day in a not-so-distant future suddenly appears traversing our solar system. Obviously the work of an intelligent species, the object nonetheless appears lifeless. And when explored by a team of scientists and astronauts, more questions than answers seem to arise as Clarke's simple yet effective prose p... Read More
Thoughtful Thursday: Books we are thankful for
Thanksgiving is day for family, football and food, but it's also about giving thanks, for our family, our friends and for the blessings we enjoy. For this holiday edition of Thoughtful Thursday, we want to hear about books we are thankful for. Please comment on a book you are grateful you read.
I'll start with two. I'm grateful that I got to read Louise Erdrich's book The Last Report of the Miracles at Little No Horse when I did. At that time in my life, I felt betrayed by my church, I was traveling for my father's funeral and, in general, feeling spiritually bereft. That strange and lyrical book reminded me that the trappings of faith, like organized religion, are just that, trappings, and that a spiritual conne... Read More

Codex Born: Structural problems marred my enjoyment
Codex Born by Jim C. Hines
Codex Born is the second book in Jim C. Hines's MAGIC EX LIBRIS series, featuring the libriomancer Isaac Vainio. In the first book we learned about Hines's delightful magical system in which gifted people can materialize objects out of books — mostly famous or well-beloved books. In the first book, Libriomancer, part of the pleasure was watching Hines name-check classic science fiction and fantasy books, and that joy continues in Codex Born.
This book also takes some time to develop the character of Lena Greenwood, a dryad who isn't a real dryad. Each chapter opens with a section in Lena's point of view, giving us scenes from her past. It's helpful, and humanizes someone who was basically a magical sidekick in book one. These sections take the form of journal entries, and one of them, a poem, is lov... Read More
The Doctor and the Kid: A fun-filled romp through the Wild West
The Doctor and the Kid by Mike Resnick
The Doctor and the Kid is the second novel in Mike Resnick's WEIRD WEST TALES. I haven't read the first book, The Buntline Special, but I could follow the events and characters just fine. The Doctor and the Kid works well as a stand-alone, though I probably would have had more attachment to the characters and the events if I had read The Buntline Special first. The only place where my lack of background was evident was with descriptions of the Buntline itself. I could never quite picture what exactly it was and I'm sure I wouldn't have had that problem if I'd read The Buntline Special first.
The Doctor and the Kid is filled with characte... Read More
Reserved for the Cat: A Puss in Boots story
Reserved for the Cat by Mercedes Lackey
Reserved for the Cat is the sixth stand-alone novel in Mercedes Lackey's ELEMENTAL MASTERS series of fairytale retellings. As the title might suggest, Reserved for the Cat is a "Puss in Boots" story and it's actually recognizable as such (unlike some of Lackey's other retellings that go too far afield from their sources).
Ninette, our heroine, is an orphaned ballet dancer who has lots of talent but is fired from her gig with a famous Parisian ballet company after inadvertently evoking the jealousy of the company's reigning diva. Unable to get more work in Paris, she is about to prostitute herself when a talking cat appears and promises to make her a superstar. The cat leads her to a seaside town in England where she impersonates a famous Russian dancer and joins a local troupe of entertainers. Things go well unt... Read More
Flandry's Legacy: Finishes the Technic Civilization stories
Flandry's Legacy by Poul Anderson
Flandry's Legacy is the conclusion to Baen's project to publish all Anderson's works in the Technic Civilization in chronological order. In total the series covers seven volumes and over 3,000 pages, all published between 1951 and 1985. This last volume contains two novels and four shorter pieces that cover almost four millennia in Anderson's future history. I must admit that after reading the previous volume, Sir Dominic Flandry: The Last Kinight of Terra, I suffered from a bit of a Flandry overdose. I'm not a huge fan of this character, it turns out. In this volume, Flandry makes his final appearance before Anderson takes us into the Long Night and out the other end. I had high hopes for this last part in the sage and indeed, I enjoyed the last stories in the collection a lot.
The collection opens with the last novel in which Flandry is the mai... Read More
Magazine Monday: Fantasy Magazine, Women Destroy Fantasy
Fantasy Magazine was folded into Lightspeed Magazine in 2012, but it came out of retirement in October 2014 for the Women Destroy Fantasy issue, one of the stretch goals of a Kickstarter for an all-women edition of Lightspeed. I was one of the contributors to the Kickstarter, and, as my review last week revealed, I greatly enjoyed the Women Destroy Horror issue of Nightmare Magazine that was another stretch goal of the same Kickstarter. I'm pleased to report that the fantasy issue is just as "destructive" and enjoyable.
Cat Rambo guest-edited the new fiction for this issue of Fantasy. Her editorial remarks on the difficulty of seeing the shape of a field when you're smack in the middle of it. You can see fine details, but the overall structure, size and scope tend to escape you. That means that sexism in genre literatu... Read More

This is a fun one today - the seven rules you and your kids should use before you eat - brought to us by WebMD.com.
Number one, don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. Something like a portable yogurt tube that wasn't refrigerated. Two is don't eat anything with ingredients you can't pronounce. The third simple rule for eating is to stay out of the middle of the grocery store, nutrition experts will tell you to shop on the perimeter of the store where the food is fresh. Rule number four is don't eat anything that won't eventually rot, like Twinkies. Number five don't be afraid to leave the table a little hungry. Fullness is likely to settle in. Six is try to eat together it brings better habits among kids.
Finally, don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20 percent of food is eaten in the car.

The Goss-Michael Foundation was founded by George Michael and Kenny Goss in June 2007. The Foundation offers the public a rotating schedule of exhibitions derived from Goss and Michael's private collection of British contemporary art as well as other institutions. These exhibitions serve as a challenge to preconceived art notions and strive to set a new standard in artistic awareness by providing visitors with fresh and fascinating art experiences. Through these experiences, the Foundation hopes to generate new perspectives and conversations on the creative methods of contemporary artists. Locally, the Foundation is dedicated to contributing to Dallas' thriving artistic community and enhancing the public's familiarity and interaction with contemporary and emerging British artists. The Foundation fosters young artists in Dallas and throughout Texas through numerous scholarships and art education programs.

Looking at the ingredients, you might think they'd be foul together. They're not. But they're not great together, either. I didn't have cranberries, so I omitted them, but I can definitely see how they'd work. I think the super-sweetened variety available at most supermarkets would be TOO sweet, though - the honey already competes a little strangely with the more pungent ingredients. I'll finish the bowl - no sense in wasting food - but I won't make it again.
Easy to make, pretty healthy, and very popular with my guests. Getting the leafs from the watercress was a pain, but otherwise, it was a great dish.
I had to alter this recipe according to what I had. I didn't have watercress or garlic. I added about 2 Tbsp Mayo and whipped it to make it slightly thicker. Then I added Apple chunks, dried Cranberries and almond slivers. Very Good! I would probably try adding the garlic next time if I have it. This is definitely a keeper recipe.
I omitted the watercress completely, added a couple tablespoons of olive oil, went heavy on the salt, and loved it.
I made a double recipe for Thanksgiving with friends. I substituted arugula for the watercress, and added olive oil to the dressing as other reviewers suggested. (The dressing would have been very thin without it.) Every bite got eaten, and I was asked to make it again for another gathering of the same people later that weekend.
My family was pleasantly surprised by this dish. They LOVED it. It has a lovely clean and bright flavor. I'm always trying to find different ways to serve broccoli and this is a keeper! I didn't have dried cranberries so I used frozen, that I defrosted, tossed with sugar which I let set while the onions and dressing set. I also added in toasted almonds and 2 Cutie tangerines at the end.
This dressing is great. I used spinach instead (for ease) and it was great. Make sure to have the right amount of greens/broccoli to dressing.
With a couple of minor changes, this salad is refreshingly delicious. I used arugula instead of watercress and added 2 Tbsp of olive oil to the dressing. Also tossed in about 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds. It was a huge hit with my guests and I'm planning on making it again tomorrow night to serve with steamed shrimp.
I made this recipe adding a small diced orange. It sounded good but my family did not like it at all. The dressing was overwhelming. Too sweet, too sour.
I made this tonight for the second time this week, as the first time it turned out TOO sweet. Both times I subbed Dole "Field Greens" for the watercress (none available here) and garlic powder for the fresh. Tonight I added 2 small fresh oranges (segmented and cut into small pieces) to the onion marinate, decreased the cranberries by 50%, and decreased both the vinegar and honey by 25%. NOW it was refreshingly different and something I will definitely serve again!!!

Dierks Bentley (born November 20, 1975[1]) is an American country music singer and songwriter who has been signed to Capitol Records Nashville since 2003. That year, he released his self-titled debut album. Both it and its follow-up, 2005's Modern Day Drifter, are certified platinum in the United States. A third album, 2006's Long Trip Alone, is certified gold. It was followed in mid-2008 by a greatest hits package. His fourth album, Feel That Fire was released in February 2009. A bluegrass studio album, Up on the Ridge, was released on June 8, 2010, and then a sixth album, Home, followed in February 2012, as did a seventh one, Riser, in 2014.
Bentley's studio albums have accounted for eighteen singles on the country singles charts, of which eleven have reached No. 1: his debut single "What Was I Thinkin'", as well as "Come a Little Closer", "Settle for a Slowdown", "Every Mile a Memory", "Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)", "Feel That Fire", "Sideways", "Am I the Only One", "Home", "5-1-5-0", and "I Hold On". Four more of his singles have reached the Top 5 on those charts as well.
Frederick Dierks Bentley was born on November 20, 1975[1] in Phoenix, Arizona, son of Leon Fife Bentley, a bank vice-president, and Catherine Childs. His father was born in Glasgow, Missouri, to Richard Thomas and Mary Cecile Fife Bentley and was a First Lieutenant in World War II. His middle name, Dierks (which he now uses as his first name publicly), is actually his maternal great-grandmother's surname. He attended Culver Academies and graduated from The Lawrenceville School. Afterward, he spent a year at the University of Vermont before transferring to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he graduated in 1997.[2][3] He was initiated into Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity while at Vermont.
Bentley worked at The Nashville Network (now Spike TV), researching old footage of country performances. In 2003, Capitol Nashville released Bentley's self-titled debut album. The album's first single, "What Was I Thinkin'," reached Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts[4] later that year. The next two singles from that album, "My Last Name" and "How Am I Doin'," reached No. 17[4] and No. 4,[4] respectively.The album was certified Platinum by the RIAA.
Bentley's second Capitol album, Modern Day Drifter, was released in 2005. It spawned two Number One singles, "Settle for a Slowdown"[4] and "Come a Little Closer,"[4] and the Top 5 hit, "Lot of Leavin' Left to Do."[4] The album was also certified platinum.
In 2005, Bentley won the CMA Award for the Horizon Award (now Best New Artist) and was invited to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry.[5] The induction took place on October 1, 2005. Bentley stands as the third youngest member after Carrie Underwood and Josh Turner.
On June 10, 2006, Bentley released his third album, Long Trip Alone. The album produced two No. 1 hits, "Every Mile a Memory"[4] in 2006 and "Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)"[4] in 2007. The title track reached No. 10 on the country charts.[4] The fourth single from the album, "Trying to Stop Your Leaving," peaked at No. 5.[4]
In 2007, Bentley released a live DVD titled Live and Loud at the Fillmore, which was filmed in Denver, Colorado.
In a March 2008 interview, Bentley said he would let his fans be the executive producers of his first greatest hits album, Greatest Hits/Every Mile a Memory 2003-2008. The album was released on May 6, 2008.[6] An album cut, "Sweet & Wild," reached No. 51 on the Hot Country Songs chart.[4] The song was an uncredited duet with fellow country singer Sarah Buxton.
Bentley's fifth studio album, Feel That Fire,[7] was released in February 2009. Its title track, co-written by Brett Beavers and The Warren Brothers, reached Top 40 in October 2008 and became his sixth Number One[4] in February 2009. The second single from the album, "Sideways," was released on March 2, 2009 and went on to become his seventh Number One[4] in the summer of 2009. The album's third and final single, "I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes," was released on September 13, and peaked at No. 2.[4]
Bentley released his sixth studio album, Up on the Ridge, on June 8, 2010. The title track was released to iTunes on April 20, 2010. The song peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart[4] and became Bentley's first single to miss the Top 10 since "My Last Name." The album's second single, "Draw Me a Map," was released to radio on August 23, 2010 and peaked at No. 33.[4]
Bentley's seventh album, Home, was released on February 7, 2012, led by the single, "Am I the Only One" which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Country Singles.[4][8][9] The second single off the album is "Home", which also reached No. 1[4] on March 24, 2012. A third single, "5-1-5-0", was released shortly after "Home" fell from Number One on the country chart.[4] Dierks has been quoted by American Songwriter explaining "I wrote too many songs. I wrote 70. I wrote a lot. There's 64 that are never going to see the light of day. That's 64 days that I can't get back."[10]
On August 21, 2012, Bentley released the Country & Cold Cans EP on iTunes. It includes five songs, including a radio edit of the track "Tip It On Back" from his album Home. Bentley paid for the studio time to record the EP himself.[11] On October 23, Bentley and Miranda Lambert announced the co-headlined 33-show Locked & Reloaded Tour, beginning on January 17, 2013.[12]
Bentley's eighth album, Riser, was released on February 25, 2014.[13] The album's first single, "Bourbon in Kentucky", was released to country radio on June 10, 2013. It peaked at number 45 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart,[14] becoming Bentley's lowest charting single to date. The album's second single, "I Hold On", was released on August 26, 2013. It became his first number one on the Country Airplay chart[14] in 2014, before the third single, "Drunk on a Plane", followed on April 21 that same year. This song reached the Top 10 on Hot Country Songs at number 5.[4]
Bentley married Cassidy Black on December 17, 2005, in Mexico.[15] They live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their dogs Jake (who has appeared in a few of Dierks' videos) and George.[16] The couple welcomed their first child, Evelyn Day Bentley (nicknamed "Evie"), on October 4, 2008.[17] Evie makes a vocal appearance on the song "Thinking of You." [18]Their second daughter, Jordan Catherine Bentley, was born December 25, 2010.[19] Their son Knox was born on October 9, 2013.
On June 2, 2012, Bentley announced his father had died the previous day.
Bentley holds a private pilot license, and owns a Cirrus SR22.[20]

Kennel Club: Americans are still crazy for Labs
The American Kennel Club says the Labrador retriever is the nation's most popular dog for the 22nd straight year - for attributes that range from family-friendly pet to search-and-rescue nose.
Associated Press
The American Kennel Club says the Labrador retriever is the nation's most popular dog for the 22nd straight year - for attributes that range from family-friendly pet to search-and-rescue nose.
The German shepherd still commands the No. 2 spot, according to the AKC top 10 list released Wednesday.
And the golden retriever has nudged out the beagle for the No. 3 rung.
AKC spokeswoman Lisa Peterson said larger breeds dominate the "pint-sized, portable pooch." But there are still some loveable lightweights on the list.
The beagle is now fourth. The rest of the pack: bulldog, Yorkshire terrier, boxer, poodle, Rottweiler and dachshund.
Adult and puppy versions of the top five breeds appeared at a news conference at AKC national headquarters on the fourth floor of a Madison Avenue building.
They were all well-behaved, even the 2- or 3-month-old puppies, though a few young ones did have small accidents on the carpet that were quickly wiped up.
The invited purebred dogs came from the New York area. Several had reached champion status, and two of them also serve as therapy dogs, visiting residents of nursing homes or working with the disabled. They're taught to be comfortable when wheelchairs, walkers or canes approach, and to move aside and leave room for people using them.
Commander, a powerful but gentle German shepherd, is a champion with a formal name longer than most royalty: Champion Caramist Klingon Commander Ube CD RN BH CGC AKC. The towering, 6-year-old animal is certified as a therapy and companion dog.
Nearby - rolling upside down on the carpet - was an 8-week-old German shepherd puppy, a female named Tsunami being considered for scent-detection training.
Peterson said despite canine pedigrees that go back to the 1800s, the club encourages mixed breeds to compete in other events.
"We love all dogs, mixed or purebreds," the AKC spokeswoman said. "What kind of dog people get, and whether they adopt from a shelter, is each owner's choice."
Karen Fennikoh, of Middletown, N.Y., breeds golden retrievers but said she came to love dogs by owning two "mutts" as a young woman, including one that resembled a retriever she nicknamed Golden Deceiver.
She said she eventually opted to work with purebreds - including nine living with her - "because I need the competition."
She brought 10-week-old Gibbs, the son of another champion, Major, who came from Mahwah, N.J.
The rankings are based on the number of dogs from AKC-recognized breeds registered with the club each year.
While the Labrador retriever has dominated the popularity contest, it wasn't always so.
For most of the 1920s, Peterson said, the German shepherd was at the top, its popularity inspired by the silver screen hero Rin Tin Tin.
Among qualities that keep the Lab so popular now is the breed's versatility, Peterson said. "They do so many things so well: They're great company and a great family dog, but also work in law enforcement, bomb and narcotics detection, search and rescue, and as hunting dogs."
"And they come in three colors," she added.

There's a lilt to the lyrical fare on the new Within a Song, and it's born of the guitarist's stylistic bent as well as the classic melodies he chooses to essay. From Ornette to Rollins, the program glances back to the '60s and pieces that initially impressed the young Abercrombie. Sharing the front line with saxophonist Joe Lovano, he guides a blend of dewy string tones and genteel horn bluster towards dulcet radiance.

A California man arrested in only socks and a trench coat told police he broke into a home and used the sauna.
Calveras County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home in San Andreas and found the homeowner on top of the nearly naked man in the driveway, the Calveras Enterprise reported.
The homeowner said he discovered 44-year-old Robert London going through his kitchen cupboards, according to The Associated Press.
London told investigators he thought the house was vacant, and had used the sauna there in the past, UPI reported.
He has pleaded not guilty to charges of burglary and possession of stolen property.
