It's funny how businesses can mark important times in your life.
That was the thought that hit me when I heard Bob Kinkead was closing his longtime Kinkead's restaurant in the District at the end of the year.
Kinkead's has a landmark spot in my heart. When I first moved to Washington in the late 1990s, I was in the process of devouring James Patterson's Alex Cross series of mystery novels, which are based in D.C. His fictional characters served as some of my first tour guides here.
I had just finished "Cat & Mouse," where Cross takes his girlfriend on a romantic, luxurious dinner date to none other than Kinkead's. In the book, Cross details his love for the restaurant — its food, ambiance, even the jazz by the house pianist. One of the things I liked about Patterson's books was that he turned real local people, everyone from Bob Kinkead to Elliot Segal of DC101 "Elliot in the Morning" fame, into novel characters.
When one of my first birthdays after moving to Washington came around and my boyfriend-now-husband asked where I wanted to go for dinner, naturally I said Kinkead's. It was exactly as it had been described in the book, right down to the music playing in the background. For a night, I felt like one of Patterson's characters.
Like a song or a movie, businesses become touchstones of the people, places and times in our lives. They serve as markers as we move from one era to the next. Think about what AOL Inc. meant to the Washington region in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Anyone who lived here then had friends who scored big jobs at the online giant, some of whom went on to become AOLionnaires. Many also went on to watch its decline and following attempts to reclaim its one-time CD-filled glory.

He was really good. I think he's funny on the Daily Show, but even funnier as a comedian. Good job, Rob! You're awesome.

Great show. Riggle was very funny, but his opener, Joe Klocek, was also hilarious. Check him out at:

MC and the warm up guy were both very funny.
Rob went with his body humor thing which was funny, but not my favorite.
Was great, though, to see a big celebrity comic.

Rob Riggle was pretty funny. But frankly, I was surprised to find Stand Up Joe and Nico whose last name escapes me but who is a darling flamboyant Filipino man were funnier! Love the show as a whole.
Rob Riggle joined the cast of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" in September 2006 and within a year the military veteran had convinced the show's producers to let him travel to Iraq (without the use of green screen technology) and report on the war. In August 2007, Riggle implemented "Operation Silent Thunder," spending a week with the troops — as well as touring as part of a USO comedy show — and then reporting on his findings on "The Daily Show."
Currently a Major in the Marine Corps Reserves, Rob has been performing sketch and improv comedy in New York and Los Angeles for the last nine years as part of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. He was also a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" for one season from 2004-2005. He has appeared on "The Office" and "Arrested Development," as well as numerous times on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." Rob has also been featured in films like "Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story," with Rob Corddry, "Talladega Nights, the Ballad of Ricky Bobby," and "Unaccompanied Minors."

Kim Jong-Il personally oversaw a rare meeting of North Korea's rubber-stamp parliament early this week, enacting dramatic changes designed to quell anger over a "disastrous revaluation" of currency and consolidate his power — with the ultimate goal of installing his third son, Kim Jong-un, as his successor. (Watch an AP report about North Korea's government reshuffle.) Here's a quick guide to what's going on in Kim's troubled totalitarian state:
What changes did Kim make?
The Supreme People's Assembly "recalled" Prime Minister Kim Yong-Il, a technocrat, and replaced him with political and family insider Choe Yong-rim. The parliament also sacked several economic ministers and elevated intelligence chief Jang Song-taek, Kim Jong-Il's trusted brother-in-law, to the No. 2 spot on the National Defense Commission — a position from which he could effectively manage a transfer of power in the event of Kim Jong-Il's death.
What's behind the changes?
Analysts say the ailing 68-year-old dictator is trying both to make sure his third son, Kim Jong-un, 27, takes over for him when he retires or dies, and repair the economic damage from the currency mess. The ousted prime minister, who apologized for the failed attempt to fight inflation in February (which killed many people's savings and created social chaos), got off easy: Finance chief Pak Nam-gi was reportedly executed in March.
Why can't Kim Jong-un just take over now?
At 27, he's considered too young to take over a government dominated by old men, and Kim Jong-Il reportedly wants his country to be a "prosperous" (declared) nuclear power before his son takes the reins in 2012. If Kim Jong-Il dies before his son is deemed ready, Jang, 64, is expected to head a caretaker government. To complicate matters, another close supporter of Kim Jong-Il and senior official, Ri Je-gang, recently died in a car accident that some speculate was actually a murder designed shift power to Army Gen. O Kuk-ryol.
Will North Koreans be affected by the shakeup?
The move to replace technocrats with Workers' Party insiders indicates a shift away from tolerance of black markets that have sprung up since the 1990s, and a return to central government control, analysts say. The technocrats had apparently pushed for a shift to a China-style limited embrace of capitalism, but the nominally underground private markets had brought not just wealth into the country, but also outside information, threatening Kim's power.
Does this have anything to do with the torpedoed South Korean ship?
There doesn't seem to be a direct connection, but some analysts see the sinking of South Korean naval ship the Cheonan as part of Kim's larger push to unite the country before he hands over power.

Chris Webby - There Goes the Neighborhood
Artist: Chris Webby
Producer: Don Cannon
Album: There Goes the Neighborhood EP
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 9 votes )
Fresh off bringing us the reader-approved What I Do, Chris Webby returns with one more leak off his forthcoming street release. Title track There Goes the Neighborhood finds Don Cannon serving up a head-noddable, bass-driven groove to back the Connecticut repper (and freestyle series alumnus) as he makes clear that he's here to stay—whether his (figurative) neighbors like it or not. Complete with a determined hook by singer A. Mitch, this cut and much more can be found on Webby's new EP when it hits the 'net this Thursday.

How To Make Croutons for Soups & Salads
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
What, make my own croutons? Can't I just buy them in a cellophane bag at the grocery store? Well, sure you can and they might even be somewhat decent. But homemade croutons take things to whole other level, and given how quick and easy they are, there's no reason not to step up and make them yourself. Read on for our simple instructions on how to make three variations on the crouton: the cube, the slice, and the chunk.
My New Salad Crush: Pickled Beets
A few weeks ago I had a simple butter lettuce salad at a local pizza joint. It was dressed in creamy ranch, dotted with pistachios and goat cheese, and just a few slices of roasted beet. It was divine. I went home and promptly recreated it, reaching for a jar of pickled beets languishing in the back of my fridge. I haven't quit ever since, and here's why.
Make-Ahead Salads for Dinner: A Handy Chart from Jeanne Kelley

When the weather warms up, we start craving big bowls of cool, crunchy salad for dinner. But a good dinner salad is more than just greens and dressing; it should be full of satisfying goodies like meat, cheese, nuts, cooked vegetables and grains, which can all be prepped beforehand. How far ahead of time can you wash, chop and cook all the components of a great main-course salad? I talked to Jeanne Kelley, author of Salad for Dinner, who shared her handy schedule for keeping your fridge and pantry stocked with ready-to-use ingredients for fun and sophisticated salads for dinner.
Lighten Up Your Favorite Summer Side Salads With Just One Ingredient
The July 4th holiday is generally the first time I dive into traditional summer-side dish-mode with potato salad, chicken salad, and macaroni salad. We usually get the grill dusted off around that time (there's the feeling that summer weather doesn't officially start until after the 4th in Seattle), and what goes better with good barbecued chicken than creamy potato salad? I've been doctoring ours up lately with an ingredient that's still creamy and yet much lower in fat. Can you guess what it is?

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin

Bands today just can't commit. Kiss released over a dozen platters before its members deployed the ol' we've-stopped-painting-our-faces gimmick, whereas Mudvayne is using essentially the same stunt on CD number three. And while Kiss had Gene Simmons's tongue to fall back on (the group's first Maybelline-free recording was titled Lick It Up), its heirs in hype are left without a shtick. Maybe Mudvayne named this disc Lost and Found because its cosmetics supply is sitting in some forgotten airport storeroom alongside piles of misdirected luggage and hundreds of fingernail clippers.
Not that the boys didn't clean up nice. Hell, Chad Gray, Greg Tribbett, Matt McDonough and Ryan Martinie (their real names! Whoo-hoo!) could appear tomorrow at The OC's Bait Shop if they'd come up with anything trendy enough to earn a booking. Unfortunately for them, the formulaic aggression of songs such as "Fall Into Sleep" and "Happy?" feels very five years ago. They've got angst in their pants, but they can't manage to dance.
Betcha for the next album (if there is a next album), the makeup and costumes will be back. You read it here first.

This is a great recipe for a small dinner party. The pan sauce is delicious over garlic cheese mashed potatoes or Cauliflower Puree. This is probably my husband's favorite dish, at least it is the one he requests the most. As written the sauce can be spicy (depending on the freshness and type of cayenne you have), so if you are not a fan of spicy food I would 1/2 the cayenne.

Texas Monthly Gets Naked For Special Willie Nelson Cover
- Subscribers of Texas Monthly will receive a copy adorned with a portrait of Willie Nelson on the cover and no text. The preview is pretty flippin' sweet.
- Jewel is returning to Nashville Star to join John Rich as a judge and mentor to the contestants.
- On July 8 George Jones will release Burn Your Playhouse Down (The Unreleased Duets), which will include a previously unavailable duet with ex-wife Tammy Wynette.

- Keith Urban received a gift from a fan during his concert in Baltimore recently. The fan gave him a purple and black Baltimore Ravens onesie for his soon-to-be-born baby, which he hung on his microphone as he sang "Somebody Like You."
- A nightclub in Silver City, West Virginia decided to get interesting by introducing "Hip-Hop Fridays" and "Country Saturdays."
- The contents of the gift bags that celebrities get pampered with for participating in the CMT Awards were unveiled, and they include high dollar jeans, skin care products, fitness club memberships, fancy vacation packages, videos games and a whole lot of other goodies.
- Sarah Johns confesses to being a workaholic and believes that a tireless work ethic, and moving to Nashville, is what it takes to make it in today's over saturated music world. Her work begins every day by cleaning the toilet on her tour bus, "no, I really do," says Johns. "I clean the toilet every morning, because, you know, I'm on there with a bunch of guys, and they always miss."
- Dan Oko praises the new James McMurtry album, Just Us Kids, with 4/5 stars.
McMurtry locates again and again an element of humanity that saves his angriest screeds from easy pigeonholing. Politics may be personal for some, but McMurtry is the rare breed of musician who at his best finds ways to blur the difference, effectively and affectingly.
And, Linda East Brady has a three page profile for Americana Roots on McMurtry and his new album.
- CBS axed Secret Talents of the Stars after one dismally rated episode, thus ending Clint Black's short stint as a television comedian.

- Yesterday marked the one year anniversary since the Cash house in Hendersonville burned to the ground. It was a tragedy, but Tom Roland says the story makes a "friggin' great song" on George Strait's new album.
- Jim Caligiuri says Live Cactus! is unlike anything Joe Ely has ever done.
Over the course of an hour, Ely's guitar and voice and the magnificent accordion style of longtime compadre Joel Guzman travel over dusty highways to desolate border towns and West Texas flatlands, romancing an appreciative Cactus Cafe audience with a passion that's palpable.
- Kellie Pickler reveals that she's dating a songwriter, but doesn't mention any names.
- The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is offering a packed May/June lineup for Marty Robbins themed programs in anticipation of his exhibit's June 9th closing.

Pete Freedman says what is even more interesting is a hidden note that says this is just the first book UNT Press is planning to publish in its "North Texas Lives of Musicians Series."

If Sarah Johns music career doesn't work out she can always get a job at Molly Maid….
CBS axing Secret Talents of the Stars was in truth a mercy killing….
I commend CMT for doing the Unplugged 330 Session with Ashley Monroe since she's an independent, unsigned artist these days. I wonder if Chet Flippo had anything to do with this? (wink)
It will be interesting to see how Julianne Hough does on the charts. Viewers of American Idol are music fans while who knows about fans of Dancing With The Stars. Considering Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift dominate country radio these days Julianne definitely has the right look……
Judging by the two songs in that 330 sessions from Randy Travis's new CD, I'm gonna have to say that Around the Bend is probably my most-anticipated album in a looong time.
"Faith in You" should be a song of the year nomination.

Home Remodel Time Well, it's been 39 months since we sold the house, and 15 months since I wrote our last update post on our kitchen renovation of the house we remodeled, but I'm finally back to show you all the finished product of our kitchen! This is also kind of a before and after of our living room and dining room too. Click here ... see more >>
Beach Bungalow Time My mom taught me this trick. I'm sure it's a well known trick in the gardening world, but I don't as of yet consider myself to be a part of the gardening world... I'm working on it though and I'm getting better season by season :) I bought a marigold plant about 2 years ago, and after awhile it just died and stopped ... see more >>
Beach Bungalow Time I've been really busy working on my personal development website, so I've been sitting a lot at my computer (not writing at this blog enough, but I've definitely been a busy-bee). So I decided to make a standing desk. I found a 2'x2' piece of already cut particle board for about $2.00 at Home Depot, and one 8 ... see more >>
Beach Bungalow Time Besides repainting our living room and reupholstering the chair, we also made another update for storage space because Kyle's car parts and shipping supplies were taking over and semi becoming an eye sore...

Hoopy the Hoop is a meme that spawned from the ending of the first Portal game.
At the end of the game once Spoiler Alert GlaDos is destroyed the game's main character, Chell sees a hoop land and fall flat infront of her.
Valve originally thought this would be the meme of the game stating,
"We thought we should have a warehouse full of Hoopy t-shirts and mugs and posters…we would watch that hoop roll by over and over again. That was the part of the game we were most proud of, and nobody cared." They had never anticipated that The Cake is a Lie would become the meme everyone would remember.
Hoopy does make some cameo appearances in Portal 2 but he is just a prop you can pick up.
Because of this many people don't know about Hoopy the Hoop and he has almost faded away into obscurity.

Possible 10% Gains in a Day
Two companies reporting earnings Monday are:
Sanderson Farms (NASDAQ:SAFM) – Before the open
Tuesday Morning (NASDAQ:TUES) – Before the open
Focus Media (NASDAQ:FMCN) – After the close
Sanderson Farms (SAFM) is a poultry producer http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=SAFM with top competitors Pilgrim's Pride (PCC) and Tyson's Food (NYSE:TSN) in the chicken industry. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=SAFM+Competitors Comparing it to its competitors, it seems to be holding up well. Year over year quarterly revenue growth, trailing gross margin, and trailing operating margin is higher than that of its competitors. Its trailing P/E of 7.96 is close to that of PCC (7.41) and much lower than that of TSN (52.10). The only red flag is the price/sales, which is more than double that of its competitors.
Quarterly Rev. Growth
Trailing Gross Margin
Trailing Operating Margin
Trailing P/E
Trailing P/S
Sanderson Farms
Prilgrim's Pride
Tyson's Food
Its revenue/share of $91.72 makes the company seem undervalued considering that its shares closed at $43.16 on Friday. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=SAFM+Key+Statistics However, the 11.70% short interest in the stock could place negative pressure on the stock. Then again, if the company surprises when it reports, there could be a short squeeze propelling the stock higher. And clearly analysts expect the stock to up with an average price target of $60.67 and a buy initiated by Morgan Joseph on August 20th. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=SAFM+Analyst+Opinion That August 20th buy initiation can also propel the stock higher in the very immediate term. Insider trading looks good with no insiders selling. http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/insider/trans.asp?Symbol=SAFM
Looking at its earning history, the company has surprised four quarters in a row. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=SAFM+Analyst+Estimates Plus, the current earnings estimate of $1.87 is lower than the year ago earnings of $2.12. http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/results/hilite.asp?Symbol=SAFM From the chart, it is clear that each quarter's earnings this year is better than last year's numbers. The economy is clearly better this year than last year. Therefore, sales should be higher this year. Using these trends, it seems likely that the company will surprise when it reports earnings Monday morning. As a bonus, the stock has fallen considerably recently and could jump 10% or more if the company surprises. Its strong fundamentals make a gamble on its earnings report less of a risk. Even if it disappoints, it could still be a long term value play.
Tuesday Morning (TUES) is a closeout retailer of home furnishings, house wares, gifts, and related items. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=TUES The housing market is not doing well, but people are still spending on renovating their home, which may spell well for the company. Still, this company looks a gamble. Revenue of $19.64 per share says that the company may be undervalued at the current price of $3.59. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=TUES+Key+Statistics Insider holdings are 6.1% and falling. Taking a look and comparing it to its top competitors shows the company's only advantage over its competitors is its very low price/sales. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=TUES+Competitors Analysts on average estimate the company to earn $0.03 per share, a 175% growth rate. http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/analyst/earnest.asp?Symbol=TUES Insider trading seems to be bearish with many insiders selling. http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/insider/trans.asp?Symbol=TUES Watch to see if the company does surprise. If it does, this stock could skyrocket.
Focus Media (FMCN) is a Chinese advertiser. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/pr?s=FMCN The company's stock is not cheap, with a forward P/E of 15.48 http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=FMCN+Key+Statistics and a price/sales of 4.92. The stock has been on the tear over the last year, rising over 100%. It surprised analysts 3 times out of 4. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=FMCN+Analyst+Estimates The average analyst estimate is $0.23 a share, up from $0.22 a year ago. Based on these numbers, I believe the company will surprise despite the slowing Chinese economy. However, there could be limited upside even if the company does surprise, since the stock has already increased considerably.

Buys, sells, and lessons well learnedOver the 9 years I have invested, I learned a few lessons:
1. Buying great companies with a future over the long run (at lest 1 year) is the best money maker. The key is finding companies with a future. SNP (China Petroleum) was selling for $15 in 2003, when it was the third largest refiner in China. Now it is the largest refiner in China and sells for $77.
That said, going to the pesent, where is the growth? Well, there is generic pharmacuticals. TEVA and RDY come to my mind. TEVA is the world's largest generic pharmacutical company. RDY is a growing Indian generic pharmacutical maker. RDY, being smaller and based in India, has more growth potential over the long run.
Also, flashdrives are the future. The first company that comes to mind is Sandisk (NASDAQ:SNDK), the largest flashdrive maker in the US. STEC is a smaller name that may prove profitable. With MP3 players and smartphones flying off the shelves, flash is almost a no brainer. But the key will be when we get rid of diskdrives.
Robotics are increasing. That should poise ISRG, a maker of the Da Vinci medical robotic arm, well for the future.
Cloud computing is growing. VMware (NYSE:VMW) and much smaller competitor Netlist (NASDAQ:NLST) should do well. The risk, NLST is not profitable, but it may also grow faster the VMW.
Telsa Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA), the first electric car company, should do well if oil stays high. However, it is a very young and unprofitable company.
Overstock (NASDAQ:OSTK) may do well, since online shopping is the future. For a long time, it was not profitable, but Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was also not profitable for a long time.
And good place to start is the list of "In/Out of Favor" in MSN Money. Find the quality companies. Also, if they list the quality companies as a strong buy, I would consider it. Zack's recommendations also do fairly well.
2. You can make money fast by trading more frequently, but you can also loose fast if you push the wrong buttons. High return comes with high risk. I was able to double my money in a month but loose it all in two months. How I did it? Looking at the earning releases and the "Unusual Volune," the "Largest Percentage Gainers," and the "Most Active" sections of Yahoo Finance. If you think a company will report good earnings AND impress the Street, buy before the earnings report. If you are unsure, wait till they report and see how the market reacts. If it impresses, it usually will go up for three days. After the three days, sell.
For "Unusual Volume," that can just tell you what the herd is buying. Chances are, they know something you don't. Same goes for "Most Active" and "Largest Percentage Gainers." If you can find out why they are buying, then great. You lower your risk of loosing. But most of the time, it is a gamble. And the problem, there is not much, if any, consistancy of when it will turn south.
That said, watch ISRG and VMware, which reports this week. Also, SNDK is reporting next week. Note, I also recommend these stocks for the long term.
3. Look at the product and use common sense. The iPod was flying off shelves in 2002. Months later, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) soared. Look at the most sold products at Amazon or other retailers and buy the company that makes the product. Also, check consumer reports.
But this rule can also be applied to other things, such as movies. Transformers did well in the box office. Hasbro (NASDAQ:HAS) will probably do well, too. By the way, they are reporting earnings Monday, 7/19.
Basically, look where consumers are buying, or where the money is flowing.
4. Inspect stocks which are cheap and won't fail. Citigroup (NYSE:C) fell to a dollar, but would it fail? No. Would Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) fail? It was best to buy these stocks after they hit the "Most Percentage Gainers" for two days in a row. However, in C case, the New York Stock Exchange has a $1 minimum. There was little downside when it fell to a buck. Sorry I couldn't tell you, because I just found this place two days ago. But I did mention it on Facebook.
Lockhead (NYSE:LMT) was the largest contractor to the US military in 1998 according to the World Almanac. At $5 a share, it seemed a steal.
5. If insiders are buying, the company may be doing well. If the stock is cheap on valuation metrics, that is a good signal. A fund bought a large stake in ACAS 6 months ago. So far, it is up 10%. The insiders know more than you.
6. Buy boring companies in steady industries. ONP is a Chinese paper company. CLW is also a paper company. CLW is doing better than ONP, because ONP is in investigation. But if ONP prevails, it will do well in the long run. Also, CAGC is a Chinese fertilizer maker. It may not fly, but could it be the Potash (NYSE:POT) of China? SEED is a genetic seed maker in China, but could it become the Monsanto (NYSE:MON) of China? Even if these don't happen, they should produce strong cash flows. China, the most populous nation in the world, needs to eat. And arible land is ever decreasing due to geology.
Chemicals is not a high flying business, but I like Valhi (NYSE:VHI) and Quacker (NYSE:KWR). Again, cash flows should remain strong. VHI is not profitable but has promise in disposing of nuclear wastes.
7. If a private company like Google, which is very profitable and successful goes public, buy it. Check out Harrah Entertainments IPO later this year.
Also, I see value in Dryships (NASDAQ:DRYS) drill ship unit which is going to be spun off.
8. And high return on equity can be a good indicator of good times. SID has a return on equity of 52%. It has done well so far this year.
9. Last is my superstitious rule, if the company is trading for a low P/E and pays a large dividend or increasing it, research the stock. Find out why it pays a high dividend. In 2004, DRYS sold for a P/E of 6 with a huge dividend. A year later, it shot up. The catch, many large financial stocks had large dividends due to depressed stock prices during the credit crisis.
Okay, more will come later. Until then, good luck investing.

Beauvoir director, board members resign over 'direction'
Published: March 17,2014
Tags: Beauvoir, Bertram Hayes-Davis, Confederacy, Confederate States of America, cultural tourism, culture, Don Barrett, Ed Funchess, Heritage, history, Jefferson Davis, Sons of Confederate Veterans, tourism, tourist, Varina's Garden, visitor
BILOXI — The executive director Beauvoir, the last home of Jefferson Davis, and two members of the historic property's board have resigned.
Bertram Hayes-Davis, the great-great-grandson of the president of the Confederacy, said there was a disagreement on the direction of the property between his team and the Beauvoir board. Hayes-Davis resigned effective March 3.
Hayes-Davis and his wife, Carol, came to work at Beauvoir in July 2012. She volunteered as the head of programs and events at Beauvoir.
He oversaw the opening of the library and the completion of Varina's Garden, which recreates the garden of Davis' wife.
Beauvoir is the hip-roofed, Gulf-front mansion where Jefferson Davis spent the last 12 years of his life. Varina Davis left Beauvoir in 1891.
Beauvoir was nearly swept away by Katrina in 2005. Millions have been spent on its restoration.
Hayes-Davis told WLOX-TV in Biloxi he wanted Beauvoir to "be the one place you come in the country to learn about Jefferson Davis." He now believes the board had a different vision.
"It didn't seem to be something that they aspire to embrace," said Davis.
Board members Ed Funchess and Don Barrett resigned during a meeting in February.
"It's a philosophical issue and it's a serious one," said Funchess, the board's former vice chairman and treasurer.
Funchess told The Sun Herald that his difference is with the chairman of the board, Richard Forte, and the conflict is primarily over the financial future of Beauvoir.
Forte could not be reached for comment.
Beauvoir is owned by Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Varina Davis put in her will that if the Mississippi Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans can't maintain Beauvoir, it will be transferred to the state to operate.

Baldwin Assistant Examiner-Ronald .1. Shore Attorney-Robert D. Sanborn [57] ABSTRACT 4 Claims, No Drawings ALUMINUM BRAZING THE PERTINENT PAST It has long been known to braze aluminum articles with flux either at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum. The usual aluminum stock employed in these processes has had a cladding of a layer of an aluminum alloy containing an element capable of depressing its melting point. The element usually used was silicon.
The brazing operation is conducted by subjecting the preformed article usually in a supporting fixture to a temperature intermediate the melting point of the surface cladding alloy and the base metal which is essentially pure aluminum or aluminum with a minimum of alloying additions.
A process has recently been introduced to the art in which the cladding on the aluminum base destined for vacuum fluxless brazing has been modified by incorporating therein a small amount of magnesium or alternatively magnesium is caused to be present in the brazing chamber. This concept is treated in detail in the following United States Letters Patent Nos.:
THE INVENTION It has long been the belief in the aluminum brazing industry that absolute chemical cleanliness of the surface is a sine qua non for satisfactory wetting and brazing. This invention is predicated upon my discovery that such cleanliness is not only not necessary, but maybe an unnecessary and harmful impediment to the entire process.
The fabrication of a typical aluminum brazed heat exchanger is an example of this invention. Specific reference is made to the conventional plate and fin heat exchanger employed as an'evaporator in a usual automotive aircon'ditioning system. The clad aluminum sheets from which this evaporator is fabricated are formed cold mechanically both in continuo'us rolls and in conventional forming presses.
These rolling and pressing operations require the presence of a lubricant to prevent undue wear. on the dies and rolls and tearing and malforming of the aluminum parts. A very large variety of lubricants are available and satisfactory for this operation provided they are quantitatively removed prior to the actual brazing step. This quantitative removal is ordinarily accomplished by the so called vapor phase degreasing process.
This invention involves preheating the assembled and clamped aluminum article to be brazed to a temperature of 300 to 500F and subjecting the heated article to a vacuum of about 100 microns.
In a batch process this may be accomplished by introducing the aluminum articles into the brazing furnace from atmosphere and then increasing the vacuum and temperature, care being taken not to increase the temperature sufficiently rapidly to crack or carbonize the lubricant. Many lubricants are available which will volatilize quantitatively at between 300 and 500F and 100 microns pressure. However such oils would tend to crack if heated to 500F at atmospheric pressure and the aluminum would certainly oxidize. It is essential that the walls of the furnace be kept within the specified temperature range so that the evaporated lubricants will not condense on the walls, but will be drawn into the vacuum system and so disposed of.
It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that this invention is just as applicable to continuous or semicontinuous process as to a batch process. In these non-batch processes the aluminum articles are first placed into an entrance chamber which is capable of being heated and evacuated and which is separated from the brazing chamber by a vacuum tight door. In these non-batch processes the volatilization of the lubricant can readily be accomplished in the entrance chamber and the perfectly clean aluminum articles then transferred to the brazing chamber.
It is further to be noted that the preheating of the aluminum articles need not be entirely accomplished in chambers capable of evacuation. The preliminary part of the preheating may be accomplished in the open air preferably by radiant heat. Care must be taken not to crack the lubricant nor to oxidize the aluminum article in such atmospheric preheating steps.
The lubricant used in the rolling and forming operations is a carefully refined and ash-free petroleum base composition known to the trade as Cindol 3,401. However, any. lubricant having a similar quantitative volatility may be substituted and successfully brazing accomplished.
After the lubricants have been satisfactorily volatilized, both the temperature and vacuum are increased to effectuate the braze. The maximum temperature reached is ordinarily in the vicinity of l,l60F and the vacuum should be at least as high as 0.01 micron although under some conditions a vacuum of 0.1 micron will suffice. Again it is essential that the elevation of the temperature and the increase in the vacuum be scheduled so that at no time is the aluminum article exposed to a combination of temperature and exposure to oxygen or water vapor which will oxidize the exposed aluminum surfaces and inhibit proper wetting and brazing.
It has been found that brazed aluminum air conditioning evaporators produced in accordance with the practice taught supra have a surface color directly comparable to new aluminum as received from suppliers. The evaporators produced employing conventional degreasing procedures have a distinctly darker or smoked appearance.
I claim as my invention:
1. The process of producing a bright surfaced aluminum article which has been assembled from a plurality of closely fitted aluminum parts at least a portion of which have been fabricated from aluminum sheet base stock clad with an alloy of aluminum having a melting point lower than the aluminum sheet base stock comprising fabricating such individual parts with the aid of a volatile lubricant, assembling the individual parts to form the final aluminum article, fixturing the individual parts in place and without the interposition of any quantitative lubricant-removal process, subjecting the fixtured assembly carrying residual lubricant to vacuum and radiant heat which combined will volatilize any residual lubricant remaining on the fixtured assembly without decomposition and remove such vaporized lubricants from the vicinity of the fixtured assembly, and then increasing the vacuum and radiated heat applied to the fixtured article to effectively complete the brazing operation.
2. The process recited in claim 1 in which at least a portion of the heating of the article for lubricant removal is accomplished prior to the application of the vacuum.
3. The process recited in claim 1 in which the fix- 5 tured articles are heated to a temperature in the range
