How accurate is that membership database query?
Find all members with between 10 and 15 years experience.
Sounds simple, right? But…
What fields are you querying and what data is in those fields?
Was it a check-box on the initial membership form? (e.g. Please tell us how many years you have been working: 1-5, 5-10, etc.). Still sounds simple, right?
Now, what about any records created by new members 5+ years ago? They probably checked "1 to 5 years experience" when they filled out their new member form. So when you run this query, how many records and members did you just exclude?
This example highlights the need for data quality and data integrity management?
It is typically assumed that data integrity is a problem for the database team or IT to take care of. But the lack of clean data is something that affects all departments.
Using the above example, if the membership department is planning an upgrade campaign for young members, the query will return seasoned professionals who don't qualify. If you are segmenting a compensation study based on years experience, your results will show that junior members are making much more money than the industry standard.
This is why data integrity in your association management software is an issue for all staff members using the member database in any function. So what can you do about it?
When doing your association management software implementation make sure to include input from all departments as to what types of queries they will use? Include that feedback as you set-up your data tables.
- Regularly review your database and make sure that fields and labels still make sense for your association's business?
- Look for opportunities to roll any extraneous databases in use by other departments into the main database
- Look for opportunities to optimize your database by either purging irrelevant data or appending with new important data.
At the end of the day — clean, accurate data is the lifeblood of effective membership management. It requires detailed, up-front identification of future data needs and a process that includes all departments for regular cleaning and verifying of the member data.
Because while you may blame the IT or database department for the bad data – it's ultimately your program or initiative that will suffer.

If you like looking like a mafioso or a crooked banker form the 20's, this is your smoke. If you like great cigars this is also your smoke. It smokes as long as a churchill and gets better with each draw. I couldn't bear to throw the stub away. Even when you are feeling the heat off the burn this cigar is smooth and tasteful.

Damn good. Wished it was a bit longer. Maybe 5.5"Steve H in Simi Valley, Ca October 24, 2009
"Harsh at first, then rather nice"
For a Connecticut wrapper this seemed a little harsh for the first half. My friend, who gave it to me out of a sampler had the same experience. The last half of it was excellent. Construction seems perfect but I now have a Cameroon (my friend bought a box after determining it was his favorite) so I'm about to smoke it to see if it is better.Jeff in Overseas July 7, 2009

By LeiLani Golden - bio | email
BAKER COUNTY, GA (WALB) –Another huge alligator was pulled from a South Georgia river Monday night.
This one's the biggest yet.
A 13 and a half foot, nearly 900 pound gator was caught in the Chattahoochee River in Early County.
The hunter and his father harpooned him, then shot him with a .45 caliber pistol.
"Whoa! Look at his giant teeth!" exclaims a small child as he stares at what looks like a prehistoric creature from a sci-fi movie.
"To tell the truth, on television is the only place I've ever seen one that big. I didn't think they really got that big around here," says Newton resident Bennie Benton. "It feels unreal. Like it's artificial or something."
But this monster gator is very real. And Zane Riley, along with his father, caught the beast Monday night in the Chattahoochee River.
"There's too much adrenaline for it to be scary," Riley says. "I put the first .45 shot in his head and then two more assurance shots. But that still wasn't good enough for me. We still waited probably another 45 minutes. But it does get scary when you think he's dead but then he starts twitching and you're in waist-deep water with him."
When we caught up with Riley at a gas station in Newton, a crowd had gathered to check out the gigantic gator.
"I've been around a bunch of big deer in a parking lot before but this takes the cake. I mean, I knew it was a big gator, but I didn't know everyone else would think it was a big deal," Riley admits.
To give you an idea of exactly how big this alligator is, the front of this trailer to the end measures ten feet long, and the gator's tail is still hanging off the back.
"13 and a half feet or better?" Benton asks. "That's a big gator for Newton, Georgia!"
And while these people were excited to see a huge gator in person...
"With something this big," Benton proposes, "I think they should stuff it and put it where a lot of people can come see it."
...they hope never to encounter one in the wild.
"I'm gonna think about that twice before I go out there and try to swim in the river."
He says he'll leave that to the trained gator hunters, like Riley.
DNR rangers estimate the gator at around 70 years old and between 800 and one thousand pounds.
It's likely the biggest gator bagged so far this gator hunting season.

Habitat for Humanity Builds "Dream" Houses in Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King
Habitat for Humanity Builds "Dream" Houses in Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King
AMERICUS, Ga., Jan. 10, 2003 - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a world in which all people would be able to triumph over poverty, racism, war and violence. In honor of Dr. King's dream, Habitat for Humanity International is beginning a new initiative inviting people to build up their communities during the first "Building on the Dream," Jan. 18 - 26, 2003.
"Habitat for Humanity International is proud to honor the legacy of our greatest civil rights leader," said Millard Fuller, founder and president of Habitat for Humanity International. "Habitat for Humanity is working to eliminate poverty housing and invites everyone to pick up a hammer during 'Building on the Dream' and help us build up communities across the country."
"Building on the Dream," honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by encouraging people to volunteer with their local Habitat for Humanity affiliate and begin building houses or raising awareness of the need for adequate housing in their communities. "Building on the Dream" houses will stand as a tribute to Dr. King.
During the first "Building on the Dream," houses will be constructed or celebrations will be held throughout the United States in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Texas, among others. People of all races and religions in these states will use King's holiday as a day of service.
"Building on the Dream" will have a direct effect on the Pascual family of Lakeland, Fla. Hermilio and his wife, Mary Ann, will move into their new "Dream" house with their two children Miguel, 13, and Amber, 6. Hermilio is a maintenance worker for a fertilizer company. Mary Ann stays at home to care for Miguel, who has cerebral palsy and is unable to walk or talk. The Pascuals have been looking for a simple, decent place to live and raise their children.
"Miguel needs my hands-on attention 24 hours a day, seven days a week," said Mary Ann. "This means I am unable to work outside the home and even paying rent is hard on just one income."
The Pascuals have rented the same small home for 10 years, but they have been looking for a new home large enough to accommodate Miguel's growing needs for additional medical equipment. A coalition of 11 churches in the Lakeland, Fla., area decided to "adopt" the Pascual family and help them build their "Dream" house.
"Our new house will give us a lot more room and put us closer to the hospitals," said Mary Ann. "We are all thankful to have a place to live, and I feel wonderful. I am grateful that Habitat volunteers are using Dr. King's holiday to help my family."
"Building on the Dream" events in the United States include:
Montgomery, Ala.: Habitat for Humanity will have volunteers working on their sites Jan. 19 - 26.
Prattville, Ala.: Construction on one house will be completed and it will be dedicated on Jan. 20.
Selma, Ala.: Members of the community will gather for a service in memory of Dr. King on Jan. 20 and begin building one house.
Jacksonville, Fla.: Habitat for Humanity will partner with the Urban League to recruit volunteers from the 2000 people that are expected to attend the annual MLK breakfast on Jan. 20. Afterward, Habitat volunteers will raise walls on four houses and will work for six weeks on the houses in honor of Dr. King. Among the volunteers are three African-American churches.
Jacksonville Beach, Fla.: Volunteers will begin building on the Habitat affiliate's 100th house on Jan. 20 and the affiliate will host a Dr. King celebration, inviting the 100 families who have built and bought Habitat houses in their community over the years to celebrate. Robin Shell, senior vice president of the program division for Habitat for Humanity International, will be the featured speaker.
Clay County, Fla.: St. Simone Baptist church will join Habitat volunteers at a Dr. King celebration on Jan. 25 and help to build one Habitat house.
Daytona Beach, Fla.: Habitat house builds will kick off on Jan. 18 at two work sites. On Jan. 20 Habitat volunteers will join a city's MLK. celebration before returning to the work sites to continue their day of service.
Lakeland, Fla.: A group of churches are volunteering to build a house and Habitat will host a celebration on Jan. 20. Robin Shell, senior vice president of the program division for Habitat for Humanity International, will be the featured speaker. Members of the Florida Southern College Campus Chapter will join volunteers to help build the house.
St. Augustine, Fla.: Volunteers will work on three houses on Jan. 20 at the Hadley Habitat Village. The subdivision is named after African-American activist and civic leader Randolph Hadley, who also founded the Habitat affiliate.

Also, Habitat for Humanity of Westchester County will announce partnerships with two African-American churches. On Monday, Jan. 20, local youth will gather at the Habitat for Humanity Children's Village Training Center to hear from Dr. Peagler and to kick off a new home build in Peekskill, N.Y.

In August 2009 Clive, Itchy & I set of to drive around Africa in 18 months. A year later we were enjoying travelling at our own, relaxed pace so much that we had only just reached Cape Town. We hadn't even 'done' South Africa yet!
A few months previously the decision had already been made to split the trip in half so, having left Itchy for a well deserved rest in South Africa, we are now home for a few months and will be returning to start the second half of the journey in March 2011.
This book is a copy of our blogs as we travelled through west and central Africa. Simply our personal record of the most amazing experience.

So glad that readers liked our little April Fool's joke about the "sale" of the hotel. (Trump Square?!?! Lord help us.)
I wrote that while I was on vacation on the Amalfi coast in Italy. (If you haven't been, it's even more insanely beautiful than you've heard it is–or than any place has a right to be.) While on holiday, I usually like to read books or essays on the places that I'm visiting to immerse myself in my temporary home. In this case, I downloaded two books on the area that were..um, to be polite…awful.
So I thought that I'd save our friends visiting New York from the same fate and pass along some tips on books that will give them a flavor of our city and its people past and present that are actually good.
New York Stories: Landmark Writing From Four Decades of New York Magazine by the editors of New York Magazine and Tom Wolfe: A collection of articles from the likes of Gloria Steinem, Jay McInerney, George Plimpton, Nora Ephron, Joe Klein, Kurt Anderson, Gael Greene and Emily Nussbaum. Topics include pretentious restaurants, high-end escorts and bloggers (uh-oh).
Through the Children's Gate: A Home In New York by Adam Gopnick: Gopnick is one of The New Yorker's finest writers. (Check out his book "Paris to the viagra uk Moon" about his seven years living in the City of Light with his young family.) In this tome, he moves back to the New York just after 9/11 and muses on everything from a Disney-fied Times Square to school safety patrol, Upper East Side-style. (This is one of my favorites!)
My First New York: Early Adventures in the Big City as remembered by actors, artists, athletes, chefs, comedians. Another New York Magazine collection. Liza Minnelli, Parker Posey, Andy Samberg, Mike Myers, Dan Rather, Judy Collins, Ira Glass all weigh in. Need I say more?
All of these are relaxing, fun reads–perfect for passing time in a plane, or subway!

Campaigners' anger after North Yorkshire bus cuts are approved
Updated 10:11am Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News By Hannah Bryan & Karen Darley
CAMPAIGNERS have reacted angrily to a decision by North Yorkshire County Council to axe bus services, saying many people will lose a vital lifeline.
Yesterday, members of the council's executive voted unanimously to cuts of £2m a-year despite impassioned campaigns.
About 40 members of the public, many of whom were elderly, attended the meeting to urge councillors to rethink the proposals and vote against the recommendation to approve the cuts.
Daphne Bowes, from Pickering, who went to the meeting by bus, said that the elderly people in the town would be devastated by the decision. "I am extremely disappointed. People will be stranded in their own homes now," she said.
Mayor of Pickering Sue Cowan urged members of the executive committee to "protect and care for these very vulnerable people".
She said: "It would allow them to live a healthy life and be able to enjoy their lives and live in their own homes, which for many will be impossible without this transport."
However, Carl Les, the council's deputy leader, said the council was under immense pressure to find a further £77m under Government direction to meet the deficit.
"We may be upset by it, we may not like its implications, but as the Government is one of our chief funders, we have to accept it," he said.
Bus users in Ryedale had previously offered to pay towards their fares but were told that Government legislation would not allow it.
Councillor Clare Wood, who represents Hovingham and Sheriff Hutton, said that with more cuts to come across services, there would be no easy decisions to make. She said: "It is going to impact on all of us in many ways that years ago many of us could not have envisaged."
In addition to the loss of the Pickering town service, some services in Rosedale, Malton and Helmsley will be reduced to once a week.
Other services, such as the 193 from Norton to the hospital via Peasey Hills, will be cut completely, however talks are continuing to provide the service commercially.
Helen Gundry, chairwoman of Northern Ryedale Public Transport Group, urged councillors to re-invest.
Speaking after the meeting, she said: "I am very disappointed really. I understand it is very difficult to make cuts, but the impact on people right is just tremendous."
There was a suggestion of a "fall back" scheme for Pickering of a three-day-a-week dial-a-ride service to ensure vulnerable residents are not left stranded.
Councillor John Clark, who represents Pickering, said he had hoped the council would be open to some flexibility. "I fully except that they had to cut bus services, but I had hoped they would leave a small amount to keep those bus services going that only need a small subsidy," he said.
"In the past I have proposed the council cuts the snow and ice maintenance grant instead so that people would only be isolated for a few days rather than 365 days a week."
Norton resident Paul Swain, who collected nearly 500 signatures calling for the town service to be saved, said he was extremely disappointed with the council's decision.
"It seemed to me that everything was cut and dried and all they wanted to do was pat themselves on the back," he said.
"These people aren't on this planet and are looking at the world through rose-coloured spectacles, but just wait until the next elections – there are a lot of disgusted voters out there."
Councillor Elizabeth Shields, county councillor for Norton, said: "This really is very disappointing and a sad decision for hundreds of people both locally in Malton and Norton and also throughout the county.
"North Yorkshire County Council seems intent on hitting the most vulnerable of citizens.
"Not only will many people be deprived of means of using a basic service to visit the doctor, hospital, dentist and shop but also, for many people, deny them the opportunity of meeting friends and relatives in town.
"This is going to deprive a lot of people of any kind of social life which is really quite horrifying.
"I really wish some people on the council would think about the people who they represent."
Councillor Lindsay Burr, who represents Malton, said she was "sickened" by the decision.
"It is yet again another smack in the teeth for the elderly and vulnerable people who mainly need these buses," she said.
"People who have no transport of their own are now having their essential life-line cut."

And that was when they were consulting on cuts to the tune of £1.1m. And despite the huge number of responses against the proposal with practically none in favour, and that their own Equalities Impact Assessment accepts that it will be primarily the elderly, disabled and less well off who will suffer the most (ie, the vulnerable groups they are supposed to be protecting), they have decided, unanimously to boot, to well and truly screw over their residents, businesses and visitors by increasing the size of the cuts to £2m.
The leopard doesn't change its spots.

Norton resident Paul Swain, who collected nearly 500 signatures calling for the town service to be saved, said he was extremely disappointed with the council's decision.
"It seemed to me that everything was cut and dried and all they wanted to do was pat themselves on the back," he said.
"These people aren't on this planet and are looking at the world through rose-coloured spectacles"
NYCC is a Tory council, is anybody suprised by the fact all they seem to know what to do is get rid of things people need and then pat themselves on the back for doing a good job?!!

I absolutely have no understanding at all of what went on in these councillors brains when they approved these cuts. And at double their original proposed cuts. It beggars belief.

Quote " The UK's official development assistance (ODA) is expected to rise to £11.3bn when it hits the 0.7% target."
OK, fantastic, we send £11.3bn to starving, thirsty, AID's ridden, warring nations, but at home we cut, cut, cut.
So who are the most important to our government?
On the face of it, not us.
We are just serfs, plebs, here to do their bidding, and if you don't like it, well, what you gonna do?
It's disgusting, it's immoral, and it's here, now.

My Career in ModelingPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Some of the simplest things take me a very long time to figure out.
I've only recently come to terms with the meaning of my role as a model for young composers, and for younger people in general. It's inevitable: whether I like it or not, and whether the young people around me like it or not, they take cues from my words and behavior that can have lasting impacts on their lives. Some of these cues are imitative – emulating the way I approach certain challenges, for example – and some of them are rejections, as in, "I hate the way Dillon does x, so I vow never to do x."
When I was a young teacher, I think I must have been a terrible role model in almost every way. There were several reasons for this:
- I was a brash fellow, with an enormous ego and little concern for the consequences of my actions.
- I didn't want people to model themselves on me, because that would detract from my sense of my own uniqueness.
- I didn't realize the inevitability of learning from role models, because I thought I had rejected the models of my youth in my quest for originality.
I like to think I've learned to manage my ego more effectively since then – yet another thing that took me a while to figure out.
One of the things I'd love to model for my students is a taste for collective ambition. What do I mean by collective ambition? Here's how I think of it.
Ambition, of course, is aiming high. When you aim high, sometimes you hit high and sometimes you fall short. I can accept falling short of high aspirations – at least you aimed high. If you aim low, though, you are guaranteed to hit low.
One of the la Rochefoucaulds wrote "It is not enough for me to succeed, a friend must fail." I used to love the gentle cynicism of this quote. Certainly, when you measure your accomplishments against those of your peers, it helps if their work totally flops.
But now I'm finding this kind of ambition unsatisfying. If you truly want to accomplish on the highest level, then you do whatever you can to help those around you to excel, because that raises the bar even higher for you. And that's what I mean by collective ambition: having the highest aspirations for everyone – pushing yourself to greater achievement through others.
Not sure if my students will pick that up from me, or if they will only pick up the silly foibles I try to hide. But I'll aim high, and hope for the best.

Obviously, your server is NOT secure!
IMMEDIATELY change your cPanel and FTP passwords to something strong (http://strongpasswordgenerator.com has good hints and can generate near-impossible-to-crack passwords for you but be sure to use at least 11 characters which include both cases, digits and special characters - spaces, too, if permitted by your host) THEN DELETE all your files and only then, upload to refresh. If you're using databases, dump EVERYTHING and look through it for a table which doesn't belong and inappropriate values in the table fields (especially for login records).
FWIW, 18.104.22.168 resolves to hu3.hostutopia.net. If that's not you, then they are the ones hacking you (report them to your local police and your host with a DEMAND that they pursue the hacker, too). If that IS you, look for the scrp.php file and see what that's sending to the hacker.

okay, a couple of questions. First, do you need window treatments, does it get cold in th winter w/o them? What color is on the walls and ceiling, it looks a lot like my colors in my living room. Also, I'm so jealous, we don't have a fireplace. sad face.

I wonder if I could live with white?

It is truly lovely!

Thank you for showing us around your home!
I pray you have a happy and blessed delivery of your new little gifts! :)

I have just found your blog and am drooling. This living room is a DREAM.
I have an cast iron wood stove in my living room. It is charming and cozy, but having always lived with fireplaces, I am having trouble envisioning how the decor should work around it. Have you seen any farmhouse rooms with woodstoves that you like?

Everything looks perfect! You are so right: white is bright and gives light. You take wonderful pictures and your stories are a pleasure to read.
That new mat is so practical as well as beautiful, it suits the room and furniture really well.
I know how you feel to have achieved all that and can finally simply sit there looking at it. Thanks for this great blog.

Hi Anon,
I found it in an antique store in Washington state. I had seen one in a magazine years before so had been keeping an eye out for one for some time.

Great job! What a gorgeous bright space. Our living room is currently painted a dark red, which came with the house, and which I hate. I am so anxious to paint the walls white. We are also hoping to replace the living room furniture soon - would love to know your source for the sofa and chairs. They look similar to designs I have seen in Restoration Hardware. Thank you for sharing - the before and afters are so inspiring!

Hi Trina,
Your entire website and your taste are exquisite :)
I am also madly in love with this coffee table. Does the style have name? Or perhaps, the unusual base might have a specific name?
I am just wondering what terms I can search for it by on google.
Thank you!
- March 16, 2011 at 1:30 AM
- A Country Farmhouse said...
It's an antique library table. I saw one in a magazine years ago but they can be hard to come by. The short ones, like ours, were cut down when coffee tables first came into fashion (early 1900's probably). Originally, it was table height.

Your home has me drooling. Love, love, love your approach to space and minimalsim. We are renovating a 1920's home built by my husband's immigrant Italian grandfather. The house is constructed of homemade blocks made of lime, sand, and concrete so I was amused when you talked about pre-drilling for pictures to be hung. Hanging pictures becomes an all day affair! Your blog is as clean and lovely as your home. I look forward to checking in from time to time to see what you have done. Thanks!

Hi Trina,
How are you enjoying the Rowe furniture? I love the look of the chairs and would like to use them in our very active living/tv/everything room. Are they comfortable and how is the fabric working out with little kids?
- December 27, 2011 at 1:18 AM
- A Country Farmhouse said...
Hi Sherry,
We are very happy with the Rowe furniture we bought. The chairs are comfortable and have held up well. I've had to do some spot treatments (using just water) on chair a couple of times and it cleaned up completely.
Fabric is working out well too!

- Sherry @ Living in the Rain Garden said...
Hi Trina,
Thank you for the information. A local company in Portland has the chairs on sale for $599 plus they will upgrade to any fabric choice for that price. It looks like you might have linen on your chairs. Can you share the name of the fabric?

Your home is absolutely stunning and such an inspiration! I came across your blog last fall while looking for inspiration for some home improvements works that we are doing to my grandparents' 1920s farmhouse, which I inherited last year. We are in the process of transforming an old coal burning fireplace into a wood burning one and the pictures of your living room fireplace caught my eye. Would you be willing to post the dimensions (both for the brick part and wood mantle) as I'd like to use similar dimensions for the reconfiguration.

Hello Trina,
I have followed your blog for a while and have a quick question. What material is used on the floor base of your fireplace? It is a slate of some sort? Thank you for the tip and any assistance you can provide.

Hi Kate,
I looked everywhere for a simple antique brass screen and didn't have much luck at all. Especially for a reasonable price. I came across ours at Home Depot! I think it was about $40. I bought it several years ago so not sure if they're still available...perhaps try online too.
Good luck!

Dear Anon,
I do not have the color. It was a linen beige and it was special mixed. I once inquired at the paint store what color it was but they didn't save the information.
- February 12, 2012 at 10:09 AM
Dear Trina ~
I would like to thank you for posting so many pictures on your blog. We have a 1890's farm that has been in my husbands family for over 100 years. We are almost finished with our formal living room. Would you mind telling me the name of the Rowe chairs and sofa that you purchased. They look like they would fit perfectly in the space that we have. I also like the idea of selecting my fabric.
Thank you so much :)

Looking for window trim, I am delighted to have stumbled on your simply beautiful creation. I am in love with it all. And the view! Re. the trim, do you have any closer pics of it, both exterior and int? Or could you confirm if it is 1x4" side casing, and a 1x6" head casing; and a narrow bead mould below head or is that reveal that I think I see created from a 5/4" thick head casing? Whatever it is, just perfect, and would love to create that same look one day ;)
- July 26, 2012 at 11:39 PM
- A Country Farmhouse said...
Hi Kathryn,
Trim is 4 1/4 wide on side casing and 5 1/2 wide on head casing. We replicated the existing trim that was throughout the house. The narrow bead was cut down from larger pieces.
Happy trimming to you!
- July 27, 2012 at 2:04 AM
I am so loving your beautiful home. The living room is breath taking. I am a big big fan of white and am using it in our dated1886 home. We have a wrap around porch that shades the house so the white really opens up the space. It's fresh and clean. I just came across your blog looking for side yard landscaping through google:) I'm so glad I did. I need to catch up on all the blog posts. What a beautiful home you have.

Wow, no way could I keep a room looking that clean. I'm probably the only one to say this, but I think I like the old furniture and decorating better, after the remodel but before you went all white. I really liked the exposed brick before it was painted, and the white mantel set it off so nicely. The neutral colors were so cozy. Of course, I live in Colorado, which gets a lot of sunlight, so we rarely need to brighten our homes. As long as the windows are open, we're doing pretty good.

Field Notes: Considering The Sessile LifeFriday, January 31, 2014
A corkscrew hazelnut sits outside the back door in its winter glory. All the other plants and shrubs are looking pretty chastened, deceased even, awaiting their Easter resurrections. But this jaggedy hazelnut cuts a fine figure against the snow, having long-since jettisoned its drab, unkempt cover of leaves. Its electric personality is now fully exposed in its branches with all the manic excitement of a Kramer, a Harpo Marx, a Harry Lauder.
Field Notes: The Scarcity And Scattering Of November LightTuesday, November 19, 2013
It is the law of supply and demand. The value of a commodity increases with its scarcity. So the increasing scarcity of light these days has made it silver and gold… deepening to violet and magenta at the margins of the day, when we travel to and from work in synchrony, for a few weeks, with the sun's own daily commute.
In November, when the landscape drops its modesty along with its veil of leaves, nature dims the lights in a deft bit of physics and stagecraft as the woodlands bare all.
Field Notes: Humming In The HoneysuckleTuesday, July 2, 2013
Summer thrums.
Life is ascendant under the summer sun, endlessly cycling in little eddies cast up in the wake of successively larger cycles of seasons, planets, stars, and galaxies. Each cycle has its own frequency, its own back and forth, hither and yon, its own signature in the guest book of eternity.
Field Notes: The Night Flights Of SquirrelsWednesday, November 30, -0001
Before I realized I could not fly, I would spend whole afternoons perched on the front porch rail, ready for adventure, with a towel tucked in the back of my collar, launching myself into the sky. The crashes were dramatic - as dramatic as I could make them once I concluded the towel/cape wasn't the key to flight. The costume was mere artifice; every Superman needs a gimmick, apparently. The real trick to flying is determination and belief, I decided.

Democratic claim about Greg Abbott misses on misspending
By W. Gardner Selby
Published on Monday, August 5th, 2013 at 10:57 a.m.
A pro-Democratic group says Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican aspirant for governor, misspent $1 million-plus bothering elderly Texans.
The Lone Star Project said in a July 14, 2013, blog post, "Just a few years ago, Abbott converted over $1 million in federal grant money intended for use to prosecute online sexual predators and other cyber crimes and instead used it to harass and prosecute senior citizens who were assisting other senior citizens in applying for mail-in ballots."
Whether resources should have gone to investigating Texans who helped others submit mail-in ballots could prove campaign fodder.
But we found this particular claim lacking. Less than $100,000 of a federally funded grant—less than one-fifteenth of it--was spent investigating alleged violations of state election law. The grant aid also wasn't restricted, or necessarily intended for, other purposes. So there was no so-called conversion.
Senior citizens were pursued, but our sense is it's an eye-of-the-beholder question whether the investigations were harassment.
We rated the blog statement as False. Read our full analysis--and other checks of the Lone Star Project--to the right.
See Truth-O-Meter article.
Researchers: W. Gardner Selby
Names in this article: Greg Abbott, Lone Star Project

GRAPEVINE — Some doctors have said that this cold snap might actually be good for flu season. That's because employees and students are not in class spreading illnesses.
We have not heard much about flu season this year, even though the flu seems to be peaking right now.
Only snow and ice could keep patients from a CareNow clinic in Grapevine. Despite the empty waiting room, influenza cases have been steadily rising in recent weeks.
"In fact, the peak we saw yesterday was probably a little higher than the peak we had in 2008 when it was just normal seasonal influenza," said Dr. Martin Jones.
He said this season's flu epidemic is normal. It might not seem so normal when compared to last year and the abnormally severe swine flu season.
H1N1 is not the top circulating strain this year. Health experts are not really sure why we are not seeing much swine flu this year. It could be because of built-up immunity or mass vaccinations in the last year.
Doctors are seeing something else out of the ordinary in many of the tests that are positive for Type A flu.
"There is one strain that we're seeing that apparently didn't get covered with our vaccine," said Dr. Russ Skinner of the CareNow clinic. "We had several patients who have come in that got vaccinated at the appropriate time in the fall, that have come in with flu-like symptoms that are testing positive."
Doctors say it is not too late to get a flu shot.

Welcome to the OFFICIAL Home of the Trigg County Country Ham FestivalThe
38th Trigg County Country Ham Festival!October 10 - 11, 2014Carnival ALL DAY at West Cadiz Park with Special Vendors on Sunday, October 12th!
The Trigg
County Country Ham Festival is in its 38th year of celebration! So how did celebrating a "ham" come about? Below is a brief history of how it all began:Prior to 1977, Farm-City week culminated in a bar-b-que dinner with a baking contest for county residents. While this was a wonderful time of fellowship and fun for the locals, it did not seem to be quite enough. University of Kentucky Agriculture Extension Agent, John Fourquean, did some brainstorming with other people in
his office and two long time residents of the county, George Bleidt and Marvin Broadbent, Jr. It seemed that many other rural areas had festivals in either the spring or fall. Trigg County needed one also!!!!
Thus came the first Trigg County Country Ham Festival. Trigg County has long been noted for its delicacy - the country ham. A festival to preserve the craft of curing
hams seemed only appropriate.

Backup catcher Jose Molina caught more runners (20) than he allowed to steal (19). Steve Finley wasn't flashy, but quietly played a very reliable center field, while Figgins was largely effective all over the diamond. Guerrero cut down on his error total (three) while frightening opposing runners with his strong arm. 2005 stats vs. Yankees Career vs. Game One starter Mike Mussina:

Beautiful beautiful coat!!! The coat is absolutely gorgeous,very soft and very warm! I love the mustard color, very pretty and great for the fall season!! Overall,I love it!!! Thank you!!! May 27, 2014
so disappointed! When this arrived I was so excited. It is absolutely gorgeous, so soft, and super warm. I was so sad to find the arms were (again) too short. It is unfortunate that manufacturers think that people only get wider, and never get taller. Large size has the same length and arm length as a medium it seems, it just fits a wider person.Makes it hard for a kinda tall chick to find coat that fits my arms but does not make me look 30 lbs heavier than I actually am.

Love this coat! I saw this coat in-store several months ago. I didn't order it then saw another person wearing it and had to go back and buy it. I really like it. The material is so fun because it's not traditional wool or fleece. I love it. I ordered the gold color and think it's a lot of fun. The ruffle on the collar makes it feminine also. I really like this coat. I'm 5'10"and ordered a Medium. I don't know that I could wear a bulky sweater under it but I like it more fitted. The sleeves are just barely long enough. Overall, would definitely recommend. January 8, 2013
Great coat! I love this coat! I have the blue and it's a beautiful color! I am allergic to wool and down so it is really hard for me to find a cute coat! This coat is appropriate for dressing up or everyday! The felt is really soft and this coat is a lot warmer than it looks. The only problem is the price. It is good quality, but I would not pay this much if I was not allergic to everything else. December 23, 2012
