Looks like our most recent big news is the transformation of Footnote.com into … Fold3? What sort of name is that? It sounds like something to do with origami. Or poker. Anyway, it doesn't sound like genealogy, is my point. Marketing is so weird sometimes.
On to the links:
Footnote notes: So Ancestry.com starts tweaking Footnote, which it acquired last year — giving it a new name, and putting its emphasis exclusively on military records. More from Michael Hait and Dick Eastman (interesting comments here, too). Megan Smolyenak considers the Footnote changes in tandem with developments with Google News Archive with a twinge of trepidation.
Disappearing acts: This article on tracking down "runaway" husbands (and wives) offers encouragement for those tracking down people who made themselves vanish, whether it was to get married in the first place against their parents' wishes, or to leave a marriage they no longer wanted.
Revolutionary: Reporter Cheryl Wills writes about the "ancestral revolution" born of the current genealogy boom.
Channeling: The Deseret News reports on the expansion and refurbishing of FamilySearch's YouTube channel.
Case study: Nice book review out of Bowling Green, Ky.: Librarian Nancy Richey takes a look at The Washingtons of Wessyngton Plantation and explains why it's a great example of exciting progress in African-American family history research.
Here's wishing you all a productive week.
Links, 8.15.11Posted: August 15, 2011 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love 2 Comments
Not that I'm having a terrible August, but I must say it drags on a bit. I keep asking whether it's Sunday when it is, in fact, the previous Saturday, or even the previous Thursday. I am reasonably sure, however, that today is Monday, and therefore a good time to post links.
Eyecatching: I hadn't seen the Western History & Genealogy blog of the Denver Public Library, but it strikes me as a nicely thought-out and well-presented example of a library highlighting its resources. For example, this Manuscript Monday meme, which features examples from the library's manuscript collections.
Reunited: Megan Smolenyak has started rescuing orphaned heirlooms again. Yay!
Submerged: Severe drought reveals the remains of a long-forgotten cemetery in Texas where freed slaves were buried in the Civil War era (see also Dick Eastman).
Unsettling: Well, OK, here's a hazard to family revelations that hadn't occurred to me: British actress Emilia Fox, two weeks away from her due date, discovers via the UK Who Do You Think You Are that her great-grandma died in childbirth, delivering a stillborn baby. Not the sort of thing I would have wanted to dwell upon at that stage in pregnancy.
Debatable: Uh-oh, Dick Eastman wades into the tombstone touch-up controversy with How to Read Unreadable Tombstones. Go ahead and read it. Then go have a fight with somebody about it.
Useful: Newspaper columnist James Beidler reviews what sounds like a wonderful resource: a Surname Atlas of Germany.
That's it for now. Enjoy the week!
A Second LookPosted: August 11, 2011 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Haigneys, newspapers, Walkers 1 Comment
The copy editor in me prompts some quirky reactions to old newspapers: "Ewwww…. Futura! I hate that font!" (By the way, did you know there's an entire documentary about Helvetica?)
But as we all know, newspapers are about more than type fonts. They give us big genealogy discoveries. Today is about a sequel to one of them.
A while back I wrote about the treasure trove of family nuggets I found through keyword searches of the Troy (N.Y.) Times-Record. I pawed through this impressive pile of clips in drunken abandon, updating my notes like mad.
Several months later, I'm regarding my impressive pile of clips with more wariness. Like censuses, newspaper items can contain a lot of information to cross-check. Did I get everything right? And what did I miss?
As part of Operation Database Cleanup, I began updating the database card of my great-great-aunt Mary Ann (Mamie) Haigney Walker (1872-1956). She had been a minor part of the Big Newspaper Trove, but it did contain her obituary, where I found the names of her husband and son. My current task was doublechecking these names. I didn't have much else planned.
The names checked out fine against the obituary. But it occurred to me that it wouldn't be a bad idea to cross-check these names in the rest of the newspaper items in my files – purely as a precaution. I just knew I had seen everything there was to see about this surname.
Mrs. Mary Walker of Kelly Road recently celebrated her eightieth birthday. At the time she was at the summer home of her sons in Far Rockaway and was surprised with a large dinner party of relatives and friends. Mrs. Walker was honored with a large birthday cake. Four generations of Walkers were represented by Mrs. Walker, her son, Edward, grandson and great-granddaughter. …
OK, class, what is of interest here?
(A) The phrase "home of her SONS."
(B) The phrase "FOUR GENERATIONS of Walkers were represented."
(C) The headline font may be Futura.
Very good, it is both A and B! We see that Mrs. Walker might have had more than the one son listed in her obituary. She also had a grandson and great-granddaughter. Perhaps they are mentioned by name elsewhere in the clips? Perhaps it would be a good idea to look?
After further examinations of the clips, I think "sons" might be a typo, as I have found only one son mentioned by name in subsequent articles. But I certainly went back to the rest of the clippings in a chastened and more careful state of mind. I realized I hadn't really been paying a lot of attention to the Walkers – I had been too busy looking for clues about the Haigney surname.
As a result of renewed hunting I have added two grandchildren to the list I'm investigating for Mamie's family group, plus a woman with a surname different from Walker who might be a married granddaughter or great-granddaughter. All of these names were scattered throughout my collection of newspaper snippets, but because I wasn't really scanning for them, I read right over them.
A clear case of read in haste; re-read (and research) at leisure. Consider me abashed.
Links, 8.8.11Posted: August 8, 2011 Filed under: Genealogy 3 Comments
The links and I went on vacation last week. But vacations end and overflowing mailboxes remain.
Just a quick glance showed me that while I was gone, JK Rowling got the Who Do You Think You Are? treatment (British edition), a preponderance of Australian Gen-Ys said they would prefer that their census forms were destroyed, and apparently much of Western Europe turned out to be related to King Tut.
You just can't turn your back on the Internet for a second, people. Anyway:
Feasting: Delicious entries at the Carnival of Genealogy, 108th Edition: Food. I threw some cake into the mix on this one and had a complete blast reading a great collection of musings on food, family and the occasional bout of indigestion. A few examples:
• Great pictures (and some delightfully dogmatic pronouncements) from Judy Cole at It Must Have Been Something I Ate.
• Bill West explains the ins and outs of Blue Collar Cuisine (and condolences that Bill, too, experienced liver and onions in his formative years).
• Carnival host Jasia has a tell-all about the tasty (no, really!) Duck Blood Soup, which she bravely resists calling by its less-scary alternate name, Czarnina.
• Debbie at Mascot Manor asks Who Are These People?, reminding us that the stories behind the recipes need to be recorded, too.
• Also, NoliChucky Roots reminds us that some food fashions die deserving deaths in Salad Oughtn't Wiggle.
Read them all but make sure you've had a meal first or else you'll be raiding the refrigerator.
Irish data: Very interesting analysis tools from the National Centre for Geocomputation: an atlas examining population shifts during Ireland's Great Famine, along with an Irish Famine Data Atlas. h/t Pat Connors, NY-Irish listserve.
More Irish data: Pat also mentioned a link to an online collection of 70,000 burial records from County Kerry, searchable by name, date and location. This reflects 140 cemeteries that are under the control of Kerry Local Authorities. More about the scope and background of this database here.
Enjoy the week!
The Pickle: Fierce Culture Warrior.Posted: August 6, 2011 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Articles Leave a comment
[Mrs. Leopold] said to her daughter, "I don't know where you learned to use spices in such an original way." Implying that … spices were common, and that real food, eaten by real people, was either plain American or French.
— Laurie Colwin, "An Old-Fashioned Story"
Only a couple of generations ago, food was such a highly charged litmus test of Fitting In for immigrants. Hard to believe now! New Yorkers, for instance, revel in the ethnic and cultural diversity of their food scene, to the point of being tiresome about who gets credit for ferreting out the latest hidden gem. Chicago was much the same, from what I remember of my time there.
So I laughed out loud at Immigrant Identities, Preserved in Vinegar?, author Jane Ziegelman's eye-opening paean to the pickle on the OpEd page of the New York Times.
Who knew the lowly pickle was once the equivalent of a culinary stealth warrior to stuffy, anti-immigrant cookery authorities? "The spices in it are bad, the vinegar a seething mass of rottenness," declared one horrified 19th-century observer.
Holy brining barrel, Batman! Read the whole thing. It's a hoot.
P.S. I had a very nice pickle (and terrific smoked-meat sandwich) at the legendary Schwartz's Deli in Montreal several days ago. No seething masses of rottenness were anywhere in the vicinity. If you're ever in the area and you haven't yet tried smoked meat (a distinctive and delightful distant cousin to New York-style pastrami), you owe yourself a taste.

Great dog! Playful young Lab mix (possibly mixed with english setter, or catahoula). He is right at a year old. He is not yet fixed. Great with people and kids, but may be too rambuctious and clumsy for small children. No idea how he is with cats. He has a typical lab personality.
Loves to play fetch, chase, run, and just relax around the house.
Please contact if you have any questions or are interested. Would like a vet reference & small rehoming fee $20 to help insure he goes to a good home.

text: Home- Academics- Off-Campus Study- Colgate Study Groups- Japan, Kyoto Japan Study Group Director Fall 2014: Kristina S. Vassil, Assistant Professor of Japanese The Japan Study Group is a fall semester program centered in Kyoto, Japan, intended to provide Colgate students with the opportunity for intensive language study and stimulate individual exploration of Japanese society and culture. Students will spend most of the four-month program living with host families, studying both in formal classroom settings and on field trips as well as at the grass-roots level. The group will depart for Japan in late August and, after a short orientation period in Tokyo, will begin formal intensive language courses at a private language school in Kyoto. The program will end shortly before Christmas. Site Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan, is a millennium-old city rich with traditions and historical monuments. Located near the metropolis of Osaka, it provides access to both traditional and modern Japan. The headquarters of Nintendo sits among sake breweries and family-run workshops specializing in traditional goods while above it spread the grounds of a serene Zen Buddhist monastery. Host families are generally located in the outlying districts of the city where living space is less tight, and in some cases students may have long commutes to and from class. This, however, is the norm for a large proportion of urban Japanese. Additional sites for the study of rural Japan include Himi on the Noto Peninsula, the island of Chichijima in the Ogasawara chain, 500 miles south of Tokyo in the north Pacific Ocean. Courses Students normally enroll in two of the following language courses taught by the staff at the Kyoto Japanese Language School (KJLS): Intermediate Japanese (JAPN 201Y): For those who have studied through JAPN 121-122 (Elementary Japanese) or equivalent before arriving in Japan. Classes meet 3.5 hours a day, Monday through Friday, for five weeks. Intermediate Japanese (JAPN 291Y): A continuation of 201Y. Classes meet 3.5 hours a day, three times a week for six weeks. Advanced Japanese (JAPN 301Y): For those who have studied through JAPN 201-202 (Intermediate Japanese). Classes meet for 3.5 hours a day, Monday through Friday, for five weeks. Advanced Japanese (JAPN 391Y): Continuation of 301Y. Classes meet 3.5 hours a day, three times a week for six weeks. All students will enroll in the following two courses taught by the Director: JAPN 481 Region and Rhetoric: Kyoto in Japanese Literature and Film (Professor Vassil): This course examines the relationship between place and literature with respect to the city of Kyoto in pre-modern and modern contexts. As a millennium old city and ancient capital, Kyoto has been memorialized in classical poetry, prose and drama and holds a special place in the Japanese public imagination. Through readings in classical and modern literature and modern film, we will ask questions such as, how does literature set in Kyoto contribute to ideas about Japanese tradition and cultural identity? What are some of the literary sources upon which these ideas are formed, and how are these ideas related to contemporary experience? After reading several classical literary sources important in establishing Kyoto as a hub of Japanese tradition, we will consider how later authors—from both inside and outside of Japan—preserved, perpetuated, and problematized this image. To enhance student learning, readings will be accompanied by site visits to places in and around the city. JAPN 482 Cultural Studies: The Japanese Village (Professor Vassil): This course, which goes back to the foundation of the Japan Study Group and to its early director, introduces students to Japanese lifestyles outside the congestion of the cities. Students will examine the foundations of Japanese social interaction through readings and lectures, followed by two one-week internships set in rural villages. The first takes place at the mid-term in the small coastal settlement of Ozakai near the city of Himi on the Noto Peninsula, and the second at the end of the program on Chichijima, a small island 500 miles off the coast of Tokyo. Independent Study One of the two director's courses (JAPN 481 or 482) may be replaced by an independent study with permission of the director. Past independent projects have dealt with architecture, pilgrimage, US-Japan relations in Okinawa, Ainu folklore, English instruction in high schools, and the like. Field Trips In addition to field trips to the major historical and cultural sites of the Kyoto and Nara areas, students will visit Tokyo and Osaka, Himeji Castle, the Buddhist monastery on Mount Koya, the great Shinto shrine complex at Ise, and the cities of Kanazawa and Hiroshima. Prerequisites (1) Core 167 (Japan) or its equivalent must have been completed by May 2014. (2) Language Requirements: Japanese 121 and 122 (or the equivalent as approved by the director): applications will be accepted from students who do not yet meet the language requirements, but selection for participation in the study group will depend upon timely satisfaction of the requirements. Costs For details of student expenses on this study group, please see Student Cost Estimate Sheets. Calendar and Deadlines All students interested in applying should plan on attending one of the informational sessions. The deadline for applications to the fall 2014 Japan Study Group is Friday, November 8, 2013. Applications are on the Colgate University Off-Campus Study/International Programs website and are submitted online. Only finalists in the selection process will be interviewed. Interviews will take place before fall exams and will be arranged by email. Student notification of selections will be completed during the week of December 17 – 21. Written confirmation of participation is due January 2, 2014. Passports and Visas You must confirm that your passport is valid through June 2015. All students participating on the Japan Study Group will be required to obtain a Japanese student visa. With participation on this study group comes the responsibility of understanding and complying with Japanese government visa requirements. If you will not be traveling on a U.S. passport it is imperative that you contact an adviser in Off-Campus Study/International Programs, 101 Lathrop, and International Student Services, 103C Lathrop Hall, to learn as much as you can about the regulations.

Flounder Photo Frame
Show off your favorite beach vacation memories in a photo frame decorated with Flounder, Ariel's closest friend!
You'll need:
- Flounder Frame Template
- Balsa wood craft frame, 6" x 5" (available at craft stores)
- 2.5" wooden craft circle (available at craft stores)
- Acrylic paint -- blue, yellow, white, black, and pink
- Seashells (collected from the beach or found at craft stores)
- Blue craft foam
- Glitter
- Low temperature glue gun
- Paint brushes
- Scissors
1. Before you get started, protect your surface with newspaper.
2. Paint the balsa wood frame blue and the wooden craft circle yellow. Set aside to dry.
3. Wash your seashells; once they've dried, paint them. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle them with glitter and set them aside to dry.
4. Once the yellow circle is dry you can draw or paint Flounder's face. Give him a half circle for his nose, a crescent-shaped mouth, and two round eyes. Let the paint dry between applications, as you layer on details like pupils and eyebrows.
5. Paint on Flounder's iconic blue stripes and his pectoral (side) fin, then let the paint dry.
6. While Flounder dries, print the fin templates, cut them out, and trace them on the craft foam.
7. Place a thin line of hot glue along the top edge of Flounder's body. Glue the inside rim of the craft foam dorsal fin to the circle. Use the same technique to glue on Flounder's back fin.
8. Use hot glue to attach the glittered shells to the frame, then glue Flounder to the lower right hand corner.
9. Place a picture of your favorite beach memory in the opening of the frame. Use tape to hold the photo in place.

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Peoria police officers have arrested a man in the fatal stabbings of a married couple in their home in the Phoenix suburb.
Police say 58-year-old Gwen O'Reilly and her husband, 54-year-old Raymond O'Reilly, were killed in their home late Sunday night.
Police identified the suspect arrested Monday morning as 27-year-old Benjamin Rodriguez. He's facing two counts of first-degree murder.
Rodriguez was arrested at the Phoenix home of a relative after authorities received a tip.
Police say Rodriguez knew the victims but lived elsewhere in Peoria. They say he had visited the O'Reilly home along with a few other people for a social gathering.

The beer pours a brownish-red with limited head that did not lace. Wonderful aroma, full of candied plums and Bourbon Whiskey. Clean flavours. Sweet dark fruit, toffe, and Bourbon. Lovely, lovely Bourbon. Very harmonious. Vanilla, molasis, subtle char. A Bourbon beer that tastes like beer first, not the other way around. Overal a medium sweet sipper. Nothing over the top....not the best burbon barrel i've had, but a nice beer nontheless.

Thanks to Severstad for surprising me with this one! Might be the best of the mixed six... and it's from Green Bay, no less.
Dark brown with glints of ruby in the light, that rich color alone makes this beer fairly sexy. Tobacco stained tan foam, half a glass at first, much more subdued on the second pour, patchy skim and a thin collar around the edges. About what you'd expect for a barrel aged lager.
Sweet whiskey aroma, more of the Jack Daniels/Jim Beam variety. Some woodiness and toasted malts surface too as it warms, as well as alcohol sharpness.
Flavors are as advertised, malty doppelbock base with plenty of bourbon heat and flavor, though a bit sharp and astringent. Base malts are there, lending bready flavors and some light fruity sweetness. Slight ashiness, astringent alcohol burn, mellowed some by the sweetness. Body is on the light side, and doesn't seem to stand up to the barrel. A bit thin and seemingly undercarbed. Overall worth a try, but know that it's a bit boozy and thin. Not sure i'd pick it up in the future.

16 oz wax-dipped bottle poured into a Hinterland tulip.
No date or info.
A - While wax-dipping a bottle can certainly increase it's attraction, it can also hinder the beer. Case in point; this wax is so brittle it chips and breaks, nearly falling into the beer. My recommendation? Use a knife (carefully!) to cut around the base of the cap, then pry off. Once safely aside, the beer pours a gorgeous deep mahogany color which, despite it's dark nature is clear. A short-lived tan head caps the pour and dots the tulip in specks of lace.
S - Bourbon is immediately apparent through this beer but by no means is it boozy, in fact, Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock uses it's time in the barrels to juxtapose the malt's interaction. Rich caramel and Munich sweetness dwell in the background of this smooth lager but become more open as it warms, blending wonderfully with the charred oak and alcohol warmth.
T - Lost in translation, the rich maltiness of the aroma thins out considerably in flavor, imparting it's nuances but not the full breadth of their capabilities. Amber-like toasted malts trickle in some breadiness while light caramel and Munich sweetness barely come through. Wood paneling is a bit more reminiscent of an old basement rather than typical barrel aging, though this seems to have spend much less time in barrels judging by it's respectably light traces of the spirit.
M - Hinterland's Doppelbock does a fantastic job of minimally aging the base beer for an outcome that's not a pure booze-bomb rife with alcohol heat. But what's not so fantastic is the thin feel of the base doppelbock which would normally be a rich, malty, and sweet German lager. Hinterland get's it right with the crispness and cleanliness of lagering though, and that's quite admirable. I just wish the beer had a fuller body.
O - There's a fine line to walk when one barrel ages beer. To be too thin? Or to sway into utter booziness... It becomes hard to please everyone, but Hinterland does a great job at walking that line down the center, letting their doppelbock breathe and open with an aromatic spirit nose but the base beer just seems rather...flat, regardless of barrel aging. A doppelbock is a rich, hearty style; "liquid bread" to the monks, and while this beer is very nice, it doesn't quite reach that status. Look for this version to be much more drinkable and less filling, a terrific fall treat!

Nice looking bock - murky copper/brown body, pretty still looking, a dense beige cap swells to fill the mug, good lacing.
Smooth dark caramel, root beer notes, subtle bourbon character, earthy malts, toffee, a pretty well balanced smelling beer.
Smoky charred oak, dull berry notes, maple syrup, brown sugar, fresh tobacco, slightly bitter on the tail end. Not too potent... very smooth, clean. Could use a bit more body. Not mind-blowing but tasty nevertheless.
Give it a go if you're curious.

Very nice balance of bourbon flavor and malt .Hinterland has to be the Silkiest doppelbock I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. I'd really like to sip on one these bad boys on a nice fall Sunday at lambeau field. Now I have another reason to go to Green Bay besides watching the packers lose. Really nice beer, give this one a go sometime.

Ok let's start with the bottle itself... If you want your beer to be enjoyed, make sure you can open it. The wax was so hard and brittle that it took 10 minutes just to chip it away so you could get some leverage on the cap... Then some wax inevitably made it into the beer itself... Unfortunately packaging is not a rating here, but I wanted to voice my opinion.
A - thin dark copper color, clear with a trace of tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves no lacing.
S - toasted oats, caramel and vanilla... Very sweet, but nicely apparent
T - this reminds me of maple brown sugar oatmeal... The vanilla from the bourbon barrel is up front, with a nice bready backbone. No off flavors here.
M - thin, watery... Would expect something this to be a little thicker in mouthfeel
O - an average doppelbock... I think the bourbon barrel aging plays well, but the base beer was poorly executed

Gin Fish
Didier Garnich knew it was risky closing his seafood restaurant De Matelote and relinquishing its Michelin star. But he longed for the pre-Michelin days, when an open kitchen allowed him to laugh with the people whose meals he was preparing, and there was no mandate to slavishly follow classic formulas. So he took the gamble and opened Gin Fish.

Here are some of the good things readers noticed around the area recently:
Steve and Brenda Copsy of Olivet send hearts to "the staff of Presence United Medical Center's staff on 3 West. Steve was in the hospital three days (recently) and we got the most excellent care we have ever received anywhere. We received this all the way from the emergency room to the third floor to the staff who did all the testing.
"Steve has been in and out of hospitals for the last 18 years and have never received such excellent care than we did here at our own hospital. Brenda was in the hospital in April also and she received the same kind of care. They do listen to you when you tell then something and will help you through what you need.
"These people see us at our worst time. We are hurting, sick and don't want to be there, but they still understand. The doctors, physicians' assistants and nurses, the CNAs and even the maintenance men all were great.
"It is just hard to say thanks to just one or two when everybody did such a excellent job. They were the most caring people, not just doing their jobs but going beyond. We just want to say thanks. If you have never been elsewhere you might not know what we have right here in Danville. We always hear all the bad things but never the good things. Thanks again."
The Vermilion County State's Attorney's Victim Assistance Program sends hearts "to all the wonderful people of Vermilion County who supported the 19th annual Victim Assistance Golf Outing at Turtle Run Golf and Banquet Center on July 26 .
"Our sincere thanks to our corporate sponsors: Randall J. Brinegar, Vermilion County State's Attorney; Jorgenson Electric Inc.; Aqua Illinois; Pepsi; and Commercial Software Solutions.
"Thanks to the 23 hole and tee sponsors to the 26 business that donated prizes. We send a thank-you to Mike and AJ. at Turtle Run Golf Club; Chris and Maggie at Turtle Run Banquet Center; Katie Brooks and Lucas Seilhymer for registration and 50/50 sales; Patty Lowe, Katie Brooks, Lindsay Weyhrioh, Kirsten Hazel, Logan Readhour and Rebecca Beaulier for driving the beverage carts; and, to the 76 golfers, a special thanks for your participation.
"Again, our sincere thanks to everyone for making this year's event so successful."

Socialist Senator: Obama's Wrong - Social Security Checks Will Go Out If Debt Ceiling Isn't Raised
America's only admittedly socialist member of Congress said Wednesday that he disagreed with President Obama's comments concerning Social Security checks possibly not going out on August 3rd if the debt ceiling isn't raised.
When Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said he felt checks to seniors and disabled vets would be issued no matter what, the host of MSNBC's "The Ed Show" responded, "So you would take issue with the President on that statement, that he may have been fear-mongering in essence?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
ED SCHULTZ, HOST: And Senator, what was your response to the President when he told a, an anchor in an interview he couldn't guarantee that the checks would be there on April 3rd [sic], that he couldn't guarantee that the Social Security checks would, would hit people's bank accounts if we don't take action? What's your response to that? True or false?
SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS (I-VERMONT): Well, there are differences of opinion about that. There are some who would argue, and I tend to agree, that given the fact that Social Security has a $2.6 trillion surplus, then you can figure out a way you must make sure that seniors and disabled vets get their checks.
SCHULTZ: So you would take issue with the President on that statement, that he may have been fear-mongering in essence?
SANDERS: What he is saying is, look, there's not enough money here to pay our debts. That's true. I think, in fact, we can pay Social Security.
Interesting when possibly the most liberal member of Congress goes on national television contradicting a Democrat president. That'll teach Schultz never to ask a question he doesn't know the answer to.
Of course, on this rare occasion, Sanders was correct. The Bipartisan Policy Center published some very compelling numbers about this matter that jive nicely with what NewsBusters has been sharing for over a week.
As reported by the Weekly Standard Friday:
The BPC study found that the United States is likely to hit the debt limit sometime between August 2 and August 9. "It's a 44 percent overnight cut in federal spending" if Congress hits the debt limit, [Jay Powell of the Bipartisan Policy Center]said. The BPC study projects there will be $172 billion in federal revenues in August and $307 billion in authorized expenditures. That means there's enough money to pay for, say, interest on the debt ($29 billion), Social Security ($49.2 billion), Medicare and Medicaid ($50 billion), active duty troop pay ($2.9 billion), veterans affairs programs ($2.9 billion).
That leaves about $39 billion to fund other things.
As such, whether or not the President specifically said Social Security checks are in jeopardy if the debt ceiling isn't raised, the mere suggestion is indeed fear-mongering, and the American people deserve a more factual representation of what would happen in a few weeks if Congress doesn't reach an agreement on this issue.
As it's become crystal clear that's not going to come from the White House or their media minions, it sure was surprising to see a grain of truth on MSNBC, especially coming from Sanders.

pay for our current entitlement obligations. President Obama and the Dems want to be able to use the non-payment of Social Security and Medicare as a scare tactic that they can blame on Republicans. Obama knows that even after the debt ceiling is finally negotiated, he and his buddies in the media can use this issue to blame Republicans all the way up until the 2012 election.
Obama's hoping that seniors like myself, who are on Social Security and Medicare, will not forget that Republicans would rather forgo payments to seniors, as long as rich people do not pay additional taxes. Bad Republicans.
You can be assured that the media will carry this message.

Or do we ground all planes because TSA and ATC are not funded? Do we stop inspecting meats? Do we stop issuing permits? Or stop planning to take over medical care, reviewing Social Security claims, issuing new Medicaid guidelines, etc. The Washington elites have turned the whole Federal bureaucracy into a mass of "mother may I " and functions that impact us. This is what is meant about prioritization, and why Obama won't. It would mean that a bunch of his voters would not be paid, which would tend to tick them off.

It would be worth forcing a partial shutdown
Submitted by Callawyn on Thu, 07/14/2011 - 6:57am.
Anyone that says not raising the debt ceiling will result in 'default' is either lying or ignorant. The FIRST thing that will be paid will be interest on the debt (under $20 Billion a month, from revenues of over $200 Billion).
What actually will happen is they'll pay the interest on debt, social security, medicare, medicaid and active duty military, then have enough left for about 55% of discretionary spending.
It means a partial government shutdown. Obama will have to prioritize. What stays running and what is shut down is entirely up to him. So, he can choose to keep the TSA on the job so planes aren't grounded, but shut down, say, the EPA. Or, he could do the opposite.
This is what is happening right now in Minnesota, where the people are finding out that when the bureaucracy is shut down nothing really bad happens (heh). A lot of government workers (otherwise known as Democrats) are not receiving pay checks in exchange for their make-work jobs harassing their fellow citizens with burdensome regulations.
We should have partial shutdowns every few years, just to make it clear to everyone how useless and unnecessary much of government really is.

There is no "Trust Fund"
Submitted by Callawyn on Thu, 07/14/2011 - 6:50am.
"Social Security has a $2.6 trillion surplus,"
Social Security has pieces of paper that say that Treasury owes it $2.6 Trillion. Treasury is, of course, empty. This is a HUGE LIE. Politicians make it sound like government invested the surplus that Social Security had from the beginning until last year. They did not. From '67 on, when LBJ put it 'on budget' so he could spend the surplus on his 'great society' programs and the Viet Nam War, they spent the entire surplus every year in exchange for IOU's saying Treasury owed Social Security.
Lets say you personally have an income of $2k per month and expenses of $1.8k per month, so you have a surplus of $200 per month. You then spend that $200 every month eating out at restaurants, rather than investing it, and write yourself an IOU every time you spend your 'surplus'. After 10 years you have $24,000 in IOU's, but you can only cash them in from yourself - out of future earnings, or borrowing. This is how the Social Security 'Trust Fund' works. There was NO RETURN on investment, since they never invested a dime, and they can only cash in the 'bonds' from themselves.

Were all threatened by o'bama. Yet, foreign aid would still be paid out, planned parenthood will not feel the pinch of "sacrifice", and I am quite sure that o'bama will not be worried about seniors on the golf course this weekend.

The Buccaneers announced Sunday that they claimed ex-Patriots C-OG Ted Larsen and ex-Packers RB Kregg Lumpkin off waivers. The team also waived OT Derek Hardman and RB-RS Clifton Smith.
Larsen, a sixth-round draft pick (205th overall) by New England last April, was projected to one day compete for the Patriots' starting center spot. However, he was cut Saturday and claimed by Tampa Bay before he could be re-signed to New England's practice squad.
Larsen, a 6-2, 305-pound North Carolina State product, is a Tampa native. He now will be on the Bucs' 53-man roster.
Lumpkin originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Packers in 2008. He played in two games as a rookie,with one carry for 19 yards and three catches for 22 yards. He spent the entire '09 season on Green Bay's practice squad. During the '10 preseason, he was second on the Packers with 104 rushing yards and led the team with three TDs.
The Buccaneers also announced that they have signed S Vince Anderson, DE George Johnson and TE Ryan Purvis to the practice squad. All three were waived by the Buccaneers on Sept. 4.

BabyStations.com sells all major brands of baby changing stations and ships to all 50 states. It was founded by three dads that were tired of finding men's rooms that weren't equipped with baby changing stations. Dad's change diapers too.
We work hard to ensure that our products contain as much information about each product as possible including specification sheets, technical data sheets, installation instructions and lots of high resolution photos. Additionally, we clearly communicate what to expect when you order and what happens when something goes wrong.
BabyStations.com is run by Ekom.ca which was started because Cameron, Jerry and Matt, hate giving money to companies that don't appreciate it. It hurts our souls.
We believe the web is full of stores that don't appreciate their customer, stores that don't provide enough information about their products, stores that make it difficult to purchase, stores that don't respond to customer questions, complaints or problems.
We can do better. We can set the standard. We can make buying easier.

Journalism, television, and radio[edit]
Kruszelnicki wrote and presented the first series of Quantum. He writes a weekly column for The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald newspapers on scientific "mythconceptions". His radio work includes a weekly science talkback show on Triple J which attracts up to 300,000 listeners and is available as a podcast. He often helps with other science and education Triple J promotions, such as the Sleek Geek Week roadshow with Adam Spencer and Caroline Pegram.
In the United Kingdom, he appears on a live weekly late-night link-up on BBC Radio 5 Live's Up All Night, usually with Rhod Sharp (Thursdays 03:00 UK time), answering science questions.
He has had cameo appearances in a number of television series including Pizza (screened on SBS) and Neighbours. In the Neighbours episode, he was confused with the Dr Karl character of that series. From early 2008 onward he co-hosted a TV series of Sleek Geeks with Adam Spencer.

Kruszelnicki was an unsuccessful candidate for the Australian Senate in the 2007 Australian federal election. He was placed number two on the Climate Change Coalition ticket in New South Wales.[6]
Recognition and awards[edit]
One of Kruszelnicki's more notable undertakings was his part in a research project on belly button fluff, for which he received an Ig Nobel Prize in 2002. He received the Australian Father of the Year award in 2003. In the 2006 Honours list, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia.[3]

In the Garden
When to plant your bulbs?
Usually I wait until early December to buy and plant bulbs. Well, in the interest of honesty, I should admit that I don't actually wait. Usually it's December before I get around to buying and putting in bulbs.
I plant tulips. I think they're beautiful, and I think they're well suited to me in part because I really dislike looking at the dying foliage after the bloom fades. Since I don't try to make tulips go more than one year, I'm free to take them out when I start hating the way they look.
This year, I bought bulbs early which meant, among other things, that I paid full price. But I brushed the idea of the extra money aside as I savored a full measure of smug satisfaction that I was ahead of the game.
I've been duly punished.
Chipmunks or squirrels or whatever have been digging up my bulbs every day for the last three weeks. I planted 90 bulbs and, so far, I've counted more than twenty empty holes in my tulip bed. Plus, to add insult to injury, frequently my uninvited guests eat only about half the bulb and throw the rest on the ground for me to find. I think if I want any tulips next spring, I'm going to have to buy and plant some more.
Isn't it enough that they're also eating all my birdseed?
It is in times like these that I either call someone at the Extension office or go online and see if Virginia Cooperative Extension has a publication that will help me.
Since I finally decided to face this issue on a weekend when, understandably, the office was closed, I went online and found "Flowering Bulbs: Culture and Maintenance" at http://www.ext.vt.edu.
"One of the most popular spring bulbs is the tulip," says the publication. "Tulips come in all colors except blue."
My bulbs are pink, white, and pink-and-white, purchased in three different bags. They represent something of a splurge since I normally get the 60-mixed-colors bag that's left on the markdown counter.
"Selecting quality spring bulbs is very important." Okay, did that this year. "Size is important: look for plump, firm bulbs." Check.
"Hardy, spring-flowering bulbs are planted in fall." Yes. "As a general rule of thumb, bulbs should be planted 2.5 to 3 times the diameter of the bulb in depth." Yes, I did that.
"If voles are a problem, the bulbs can be planted in baskets made of wire screen to prevent the animals from reaching and destroying them."
Voles? I have voles. They're tunneling all over my garden, but do they toss half the bulb up on the surface of the ground?
Have I been falsely accusing my chipmunks?
And, where can I get baskets made of wire screen? Really, if I tell the truth, I don't think I'm up for wire screen baskets.
I think I'm going to wait until the bulbs go on sale in early December. Then I'll buy and plant some more. Maybe some bad habits are not that bad after all.

Philippines ambassador to the US visits Filipino Festival in Henrico
The Ambassador of the Philippines to the United States Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. attended the Ninth Annual Filipino Festival at Our Lady of Lourdes Church earlier this month.

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range.
