Women, Blogging, and Boundaries
Posted By Michele Miller On April 2, 2007 @ 3:43 am In Blogs | 7 Comments
[1]When Jeffrey Eisenberg sends you an email with "Read This" in the subject heading and nothing in the message but a link, you expect it to be important. And important it was; a post titled "Should Women Be Afraid to Blog?" [2] commenting on Kathy Sierra's decision to cancel a keynote speech [3] after receiving perceived death threats. I won't go into details; if you're interested you'll find Kathy's post here [3] (WARNING: disturbing images and language abound).
I don't know Kathy; I've never met her nor have I seen her present a speech. I do read her blog and am often impressed with her theories and approach to general business, not to mention information technology. But know her or not, I'm not surprised at her reaction. Some say she may be overreacting, but elementary science will tell you that women react more strongly to situations like this, given that there are four times as many connections between hemispheres of the female brain that that of the male brain. Four times the speed of reaction; four times the power of deeply tapping into emotion, emotional experience, and four times the power of fight-or-flight reaction.
Women not only have a super-highway system of emotional brain response, they also have to deal with cortisol; the chemical released into the body during fight-or-flight situations. Studies show cortisol stays in the female body as much as three times longer than in the body of a man. Sustained threats, especially from an anonymous source, can pump more cortisol than an ordinary body can handle. You don't have to experience a threat first-hand; Kathy's experience certainly affected me and hundreds of others just by reading about what is happening to her.
Should women be afraid to blog? I think not.
There are rare cases of stalking and harassment but, for the most part, ugly comments, insults and threats are something many of us experience at the hands of a few. I've been called stupid, narrow-minded and even un-Christian (for posting about Dove's Pro-Age campaign); female blogging friends have had their sexuality questioned and been "frozen" out of industry events. But will it stop us from writing? It shouldn't. Blogging is about freedom of voice. Rare instances of online terrorism like Kathy's (and yes, it's terrorism, when it's anonymous) shouldn't be taken lightly, but nor should they stop women from participating online.
It will be interesting to see how this situation resolves itself, and if the cover of this anonymous yahoo will be blown. To explore the mind of someone who would stoop as low as this, and find out what it was that precipitated such extremes, would make for a compelling case study in online harassment. And should we even be assuming the guilty party in the Sierra case is a man? An interesting question, for sure…

Intel rolls out Centrino 2, compares it to 2006's 'Napa'
Intel has formally launched Centrino 2 - actually the fifth incarnation of its laptop platform technology - and the world's notebook makers will be rolling out 'Montevina'-based machines throughout the week.

why use a top-of-the-line graphics chip for rendering Windows XP's UI, for instance?
Short answer... short question!
Not bloody likely!
"why use a top-of-the-line graphics chip for rendering Windows XP's UI, for instance?"
And how many of these laptops will allow Windows XP? I'm already sick of hearing "we don't support XP in this laptop, and don't expect any XP support in the future"?
I've had this response from all major vendors (except HP)
XP support is over mate!!
Don't expect OEM to claim XP support in any of their new kit. When I bought my Compaq Presario last november, I discovered afterward that there are no XP drivers for any of the hardware in it. As of January 2009, no new systems will come with XP anyway.

The elegance of High Tea at the Empress Hotel cannot be matched, but expect to pay handsomely for the privilege.
1 review
Terrible experience. Ship got in late - had to rush through the tea. It was like fast food at Mcdonalds, not High Tea at the Empress. Had less than an hour at the hotel and for tea. Had to run back to the bus and by the time we got finished it was too dark to see anything. Paid $105 each -- total ripoff.

Beautiful gracious old building in perfect setting, a taste of days gone by. Introduced by host and then served strawberries & cream before she poured our first cup of tea. The array of foods went from savoury treats to scones, jam & cream , to sweet goodies. Very generous helpings and bottomless tea cups.

We didn't have High Tea, but we had Afternoon Tea at the Empress. Before we went, I asked on the Boards for some advice as to whether we should do this or the Butchart Gardens since we could not get an excursion to do both. The votes were probably pretty evenly split. However, those who favored the afternoon tea were pretty adamant about it. Now having done both, and I can explain how we eventually managed to do it, I would vote for the gardens. People advised that afternoon tea at the Empress was a once in a lifetime experience and in that regard they were correct -- I will never again in my lifetime pay $160 (tip incl.) for two people for afternoon tea anywhere.But was it worth it -- hell no! Yes it is one of the grand old hotels from the days when the gentry did this sort of thing and there is a degree of ambience there. But no way can this possibly carry a value of $160. The sandwiches, scones, pastries etc. were all typical of what I have had at teas elsewhere for significantly less money. There are many places in Victoria that do this just as well for a lot less, including Butchart Gardens. While we could not get an excursion to do both the gardens and the tea while we were there with the ship, we had planned to rent a car and drive to Vancouver for a few days. We decided to take one of those days and go back to Victoria to see the gardens and we were so happy that we did.

Save a bundle, take the shuttle to town and get your own high tea at the Empress. Then walk into town and enjoy one of the several Irish and Scottish pubs, many with live music.

5 adults and 3 children went to High Tea. It was very nice. We all felt like honored guests. However, the price is the same for the children, and they hardly ate a thing. I would not take a child under 10 in the future. We enjoyed the food and tea very much.

Received a wide assortment of scones and danishes. Tea was the highest quality blend of 4 different teas. The atmosphere was elegant. Empress provided boxes to take left overs with you back to ship. Also, we each were given a box of Empress tea with 30 tea bags to take home.

Last week, the online world was jolted with something we all thought was impossible: Amazon.com went down.
Outages happen all the time, but there is a scale at which this becomes amazingly rare and the amount of time of the outage was surprising. 30 minutes to two hours doesn't sound like a lot of time, but when you consider the scale of a business like Amazon.com, it has massive impact to the sales of the company. Advertising Age estimated that Amazon may have lost $1.8 Million, based on the company's last quarterly earnings report.
Personally, I doubt it was that large — considering Amazon's revenue mix and the date/time of the outage — but it was a sizable chunk of change. Then consider the collateral brand damage of taking down the sites of all the small businesses who decided to trust Amazon.com as their platform for launching their businesses. Try measuring the true impact of that hit.
The most chilling impact, though, is how much forward momentum was just wiped out for the company and the marketing team responsible for reaching their targets. How many of the hard-fought growth numbers for the period are just negated by technology failure.
This type of impact sneaks up on a company as it matures. It reminded me of an instance in my career, managing acquisition marketing for a large online subscription business. On a particularly high traffic day, the store went down and I was shocked when no one dropped everything to start fixing it.
The problem was scale. In the past, when the company was small, an outage like this wasn't a big deal because they only lost a few sales. But as the company had grown (with the same people in the same roles), the scale and impact of such a problem was forgotten. It wasn't until I brought management an estimation of the 5-6 figure number we were likely to lose because of the issue that the whips started cracking and the problem received the attention it deserved.
There are insights to be gained from both examples that any effective marketing team should put into practice:
1) Analytics and Tracking: Make sure you as marketers are watching the health of your site and ads. Most analytics packages have alerts for metrics. Build reports that allow you to see critical areas of your site in real time. For instance, I had a real time view of all the steps of our purchase funnels on my desk at all times and it saved the day a few times.
2) Marketers, understand the importance of building it right as well as fast. Sometimes we push developers too hard to deliver in tight time-frames and scalability and fail-safes are sometimes the first code to get cheated. Developers, empathize with your marketing team's critical deadlines and don't go overboard on scalability.
3) Understand, in real dollars, the impact outages have to the top and bottom lines and invest appropriately to protect your performance.
Sounds like something the dev team should do, right? Well, yes, but this is one area where two eyes are better than one and where healthy collaboration helps the entire enterprise.
And to Amazon.com, your recent outage sent the bookworm-like staff here at FutureNow into a raw panic, but we empathize with your recent pain and hope you've learned many powerful lessons from the issue.
. .
About the Author: Brian Bond is VP of Marketing and Product at FutureNow, Inc.
Really impressive numbers. Do you have any idea how many employees work at Amazon.com?
8 Months ago they had nearly 16,000 full and part-time employees. Whats really important is that I still think, even at this size, they have shown an aptitude for execution around innovation and testing. this is one of the reasons we enjoy highlighting them on the Grok and at FutureNow, Inc.
WOW! 1.8 million lost? As the business owner of a growing online retailer, I'm always planning for potential technical problems. Although the impact of a site outage always equates to revenue loss, we can certainly learn lessons from those around us – Amazon included. Thank you for the insights!
hmmm never thought that amazon was such a big company.
Wow, a loss of 1,8 milion is very much 16000 employes there..
I hope for them they won't get any more troubles because of the Crisis that is going on at this point!
I learned that a company as big as amazon new.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a very common medical complication of pregnancy. Untreated, a UTI can cause serious problems in pregnancy. Normal urine is sterile. It contains fluids, salts, and waste products, but is free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The tissues of the bladder are isolated from urine and toxic substances by a coating that discourages bacteria from attaching and growing on the bladder wall.
The main parts of the urinary tract are:
Two kidneys. A pair of purplish-brown organs located below the ribs toward the middle of the back.
Two ureters. Narrow tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder.
Bladder. A triangle-shaped, hollow organ located in the lower abdomen.
Two sphincter muscles. Circular muscles that help keep urine from leaking by closing tightly like a rubber band around the opening of the bladder.
Urethra. The tube that allows urine to pass outside the body.
During pregnancy, there are normal changes in the function and anatomy of the urinary tract. These include kidney enlargement, and compression of the ureters and bladder by the growing uterus. During pregnancy, the bladder does not empty as well. The urine is not as acidic and it contains more sugars, protein, and hormones. All of these factors can increase the risk for a UTI.
Asymptomatic bacteriuria. A silent (without symptoms) infection often caused by bacteria present in the woman's system before pregnancy. This type of infection occurs in about 5%to 10% f pregnant women. Asymptomatic bacteriuria may lead to acute bladder infection or kidney infection if left untreated.
Acute urethritis or cystitis. A urethral or bladder infection that causes symptoms including pain or burning with urination, frequent urination, feeling of needing to urinate, and fever.
Pyelonephritis. A kidney infection. Symptoms of pyelonephritis may include those of acute cystitis plus flank (back) pain. Pyelonephritis may lead to preterm labor, severe infection, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.
The most common organism that causes UTI is Escherichia coli (E. coli), a normal organism of the vagina and rectal area. Other organisms may also cause UTI, including group B streptococcus, and sexually transmitted gonorrhea and chlamydia.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical exam, diagnosis of UTI is made by urine testing and culture for bacteria. It is recommended that women be tested at the first prenatal visit and during pregnancy.
Treatment of UTI is important to prevent serious complications. Antibiotics may be given. Women with pyelonephritis in pregnancy often need to be hospitalized to receive intravenous (IV) antibiotics.

Maddy's Stryker Frame Experience
Maddy had a growth rod fitted in November 2007 when she was 7 years old. This controlled her curve adequately for 3 years but during the last year her curve worsened, her rib hump became extremely pronounced and her rod broke under the strain of her curve which had become rigid. The only way of achieving a satisfactory correction was for Maddy to undergo Anterior Release surgery (where flexibility is restored to the spine by removing the discs between the vertebrae within the curve) and to spend two weeks in traction on a Stryker Frame before Spinal Fusion surgery.
On 11th May Maddy underwent her Anterior Release surgery. Because of the size of her rib hump she also had an Internal Costoplasty which involves breaking some of the ribs to enable a cosmetically better outcome in the final surgery. When Maddy came round in the Recovery Room she found it hard to breathe and she had to have an emergency xray to see what the cause was. It was the location of the chest drain which was wrong so this had to be moved around to find the right place to effectively drain the fluid. This was painful, as was the xray as the plate had to be forcibly pushed under her back.
She slept on and off for the next 12 hours on her back, after which it was time for her first turn on the Stryker Frame. I had been told that the first turn is always the worst and it was. She was clamped in between the two mattresses screaming and when she emerged the other way up she was in agony for a good hour afterwards. One of the nurses checked her back and I was surprised at how the rib hump still looked huge and covered in bloodied dressings. I was under the impression that her back would look different after the first surgery and I was a bit worried that it didn't. Particularly as Maddy doesn't sleep on her back because of the hump, yet on the Stryker Frame she would have no choice but to lie on her back for half the time.
This is the Stryker Frame:
The patient wears a halo which is attached to the head with four screws – two at the front and two at the back. On two occasions the screws had to be tightened but this was not painful at all. There are also stirrup-like things which are attached at the knees with pins. The pins hurt sometimes after turning when her legs moved too close together and they had to be gently moved apart. When she came out of surgery there were about 3lb of weights at each end. Most days 1lb would be added to each end and the frame had to be turned every 2-3 hours to stop pressure sores. When she was face up the only thing she could do was listen to audio books as she couldn't see the television, but when she was face down she could read and make things and there was a mirror that people could look into to have a conversation with her.
Being turned:
Two days after the surgery Mr Tucker came and said that the surgery had been straightforward. As an xray taken earlier that day showed a small pleural effusion he asked for the chest drain to be put on suction and then removed the following day. The blessed thing was bubbling all night, so I lay back and tried to imagine I was in a spa! The next day the chest drain did come out, after which Maddy began to feel much better. She even let one of the nurses decorate her halo.
A couple of days later we were in a routine of physiotherapy for half an hour in the morning, followed by an hour of school (one of the Hospital School teachers came and did a project with Maddy while she was facing down), followed by lunch (eaten face down) and then craft activities for an hour with the Play Specialist.
Maddy playing with the ipad:
Eating was difficult. Not only was she not very hungry due to surgery, but when she did have an appetite she would eat and feel full very quickly. You can eat on your back but she didn't like to because she felt like she was going to choke.We did have a couple of instances of vomiting, once face down and once face up. The latter I was dreading but it was fine, the nurse helped with suction and she didn't choke although it was very messy!
It was only during the last four days of traction that it seemed any progress was made regarding Maddy's curve straightening out and on the last two days they added 2lb to each end instead of 1lb. By the time she was wheeled into the second surgery she had 20lb on each end! I could hardly lift them! She didn't notice weights being added. It just goes to show what you can achieve if you take it slowly. Saying that though she did suffer pain every day she was on the frame. It wasn't very much pain and was usually in her rib hump towards the time when she should be turned. The turning was a bit hit and miss depending on who was on duty. She was occasionally left for over 4 hours but it was usually between 2-3 hours. Her knees used to get red and sore when she was on her front but they put soft padding on them to help with that.
Thirteen days after the first surgery Maddy went down for her Spinal Fusion. This involved a further costoplasty and an awesome correction. She was discharged a week later. The only difference her time on the Stryker Frame has made to her recovery is that her knees are very weak, having been pinned in one position for so long. She has lost an awful lot of weight and has gained 11.2cm in height, so she looks very tall and frail but with the posture of a ballerina!
Re: Maddy's Stryker Frame Experience
OH MY - what an experience. And how brave a little(big) girl she is!!! I have tears in my eyes!!!
I hope she has a brilliant recovery from hereon in.
Thinking of you and sending lots of love, Claire xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Re: Maddy's Stryker Frame Experience
Excellent write-up Rachie! I love the multicoloured halo :D
I think it would be a good idea to Sticky this, if you wouldn't mind Rachie? It would be very useful for any parents whose children are facing the same treatment.
Re: Maddy's Stryker Frame Experience
That's fine. I'm happy for you to do that.
Re: Maddy's Stryker Frame Experience
Rachie, all I can say is WOW. I just can't imagine what it would feel like to be stuck in that frame, but it sounds like Maddy is a true super star - not many kids would be able to deal with that the way she did. You should be so proud of her, and yourself - what a huge thing for a little girl to go through.
Your write-up of the experience was excellent and I know it will really help other parents of kids facing this surgery. Maddy herself could even read it one day!
I hope everything is now settling into place for Maddy and all the family, and hope her recovery is as uneventful as possible :) :squeeze:
Re: Maddy's Stryker Frame Experience
What an amazing journey Rachie and Maddy. It's all over now :-)
Re: Maddy's Stryker Frame Experience
Hi Rachie, what a brilliant insight into what Maddie and yourself went through. She is such a brave girl no doubt you are very proud of her. Hope everything is going well since you got home, imagine things are hectic. Hope she recovers quickly and regains some of the weight she lost, lots of mums good cooking will help no end. Best wishes to Maddie and the family Sue x

The Brunswick County Grand Jury under the direction of Judge Ola M. Lewis with prosecutor Rex Gore and courtroom clerk Kay Fowler returned the following indictments during a Superior Court session on April 21:
Charles Rutherford Abercrombie, 22, of 73 Southport-Supply Road, Supply; felony breaking and/or entering, felony larceny after breaking/entering, felony conspiracy.
Dana Lynn Bell, 29, of 19208 Mt. Misery Road, Leland; felony assault with deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury.
West Brunswick High School has announced its third nine-weeks honor rolls. They are:
A Honor Roll
Ninth grade: Kayanna Causey, Darrell Cheers Jr., Jeffrey Evans, Summer Falgiano, Abigail Harrell, Brittany Hewett, Alex Humbert, December Martin, Maria Roblero Vasquez, Anna Zeng.
Tenth grade: Taylor Ambrose, Abram Benz, Tyler Corcoran, Julianne Donoghue, Kiatra Frink, Brian Gore, Lekurt Jenrette, Taylor Madison, Karys Normansell, Rebecca Sidelinger, Savona Smith, Victoria Stanley, Krystal Vonwald.
The Continuing Education and Workforce Development Department at Brunswick Community College offers short-term programs and classes for self-improvement, cultural enrichment, and academic achievement geared towards adults seeking intellectual stimulation, community involvement and social interaction, according to Karen Ladley, public information officer at the school.
A coastal sunrise breaks over the horizon, bathing in vivid hues a Carolina marsh looking very much like one in Brunswick County.
Other coastal scenes are captured in the acrylic paintings of Brunswick County native Norman "Marshall" Gore, a former prisoner whose work was recently chosen for display and sale at Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash.
Since his release from a halfway house in March after more than 25 years in prison, Gore, 46, is striving to launch a new career as an artist, in a new direction from his criminal past.
I was pretty excited to see the photo page on the Brunswick County Special Olympics in last week's sports section.
The excitement of competition was evident on all the participants' faces—smiling and cheering, excitedly (although some timidly) working toward their goals. The young man with the shy smile holding the golf club really made me smile.
Nothing epitomizes summer cooking more than grilling; however, grilling can be very confusing. The more recipes, cookbooks and perspectives you encounter, the greater the diversity of opinion that arises.
When do you apply the barbecue sauce? Gas or charcoal? Flip the food only once or frequently? High heat or low heat? Dry rubs or marinades? Cover closed or open? It can drive you nuts. Let's check out the variables.
"Every 15 minutes someone is killed in a motor vehicle accident.
"Drinking and driving accidents claim more lives than those lost from all other drugs combined."

Additionally, the program promotes creative teaching and innovative course development, not only within the Honors curriculum, but across the disciplines as well. Finally, Honors students are offered greater flexibility in course choices through individualized advising and counseling, enabling them to better plan their future educational careers.

DENVER (AP) - The Colorado Board of Education has approved new teaching standards to compete for "Race to the Top" education funding.
The vote came Monday, the deadline for Colorado's application to compete for up to $175 million in federal funding over four years.
More than 500 people sent letters to the board urging them to vote against adoption of the common core standards in math and language arts, saying they allow other states to determine curriculum for Colorado students.
Supporters said the new standards match up with Colorado's own standards adopted over the past decade.

Ukraine crisis and "disaster porn"
Striking images continue to circulate online from Kiev amid the violence and casualties. Is it - as one analysis piece in Politico says - "disaster porn"? Also, competing narratives on YouTube with videos depicting police brutality on one hand and armed protesters on the other. Finally, politicians engage in "twiplomacy".

The post-Radiohead saturation of grandly emotional English guitar-rock bands has pretty much been defined by a trend toward ever-greater wimpiness: Technophobic Radiohead begat rain-phobic Travis begat girl-phobic Coldplay begat Keane, who are actually afraid of guitars themselves and so therefore made Hopes and Fears, their debut, with a piano instead. Good for them: "Somewhere Only We Know," the trio's hit single, is luxurious white-male melancholy that finds tremendous meaning in looking at a dead tree's branches. The Zutons are an eccentric junk-rock outfit from Liverpool; if you missed fellow Liverpudlians The Coral during their jaunt through America, they'll do just fine.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida (AP) Shigeki Maruyama and Fredrik Jacobsen took advantage of a Daniel Chopra slide Sunday to share a three-way lead at the rain-delayed Ginn sur Mer Classic.
Maruyama holed out from the sand for eagle at the par-5 16th to get into a three-way tie for the lead, Jacobsen moved steadily up the leaderboard all day, and Chopra simply unraveled on the back nine Sunday at the Ginn sur Mer Classic - setting the stage for a potentially wild finish Monday morning at Tesoro Club.
Play was suspended for the day by darkness with Maruyama, Jacobsen and Chopra all at 18 under, two shots ahead of clubhouse leader Dicky Pride.
"They're never easy. They're never supposed to be easy," Chopra said. "And if I do come out on top, I'm glad it was this way. You obviously treasure it so much more when you've got to really fight for it and work for it, and I'll have to do that tomorrow morning."
Momentum-wise, it's advantage Maruyama and Jacobsen, who were on the rise.
Logistically, it's clearly advantage Chopra. When final-round play resumes at 8 a.m. Monday, he'll start on the par-5 16th hole - the easiest on the course and one he's birdied three times already.
"I don't want to worry about what anyone else is doing," said Jacobsen, who, like Maruyama, will start on the par-3 17th.
Chopra had a four-shot lead when he made the turn Sunday afternoon, having just tapped in a 2-footer for a birdie that pushed him to 20 under. But two bogeys in his first four holes on the back side gave his closest pursuers a chance.
Sean O'Hair was alone in fifth at 14 under with two holes remaining, while Ken Duke, Cameron Beckman and Charlie Wi were all knotted in sixth place another shot back.
Bob Estes and Briny Baird, tied for second behind Chopra when the third round ended Sunday morning, were both 3 over through 15 holes of the final round and fell six shots off the lead.
It's already been a long week, for a variety of factors: Players aren't yet familiar with the course, there's been a lift-clean-and-place allowance because of the spongy conditions, and long hikes between many greens and tees.

Public Comments
Halloween is the perfect time to have fun, pet owners! Why not let your pet in on the fun with a new costume this season.
Ruth L. Truex
Oct. 20, 1919 - Oct. 25, 2014
KNOX — Mrs. Ruth Louise Truex, 95, formerly of Portage, Plymouth, LaPaz and Knox passed away at 3:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25, at Golden Living Center of La Porte. She was born on Oct. 20, 1919 in Cook County, Ill.
Ruth and William M. Truex were married on July 26, 1926 in Marion. He passed away in 1981.
Clifford E. Scarberry
Oct. 28, 2014
BOURBON — Clifford E. Scarberry, 70, of Bourbon, died Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2014 at Lutheran Hospital, Fort Wayne.
Arrangements are pending at Deaton-Clemens Funeral Home.
INDIANAPOLIS - Ghosts, goblins and monsters will soon walk Indiana neighborhoods in search of candy.
And while Halloween is a time for fun and treats, it's also a night full of dangerous situations.
Kate Carr, president and CEO of the advocacy group Safe Kids Worldwide, says on average, twice as many children are killed on Beggar's Night compared to other times of the year.
She says there are more cars on the road, children are excited and it's dark outside, so parents need to be proactive.
PLYMOUTH — A contract outlining a continued arrangement between the city of Plymouth and the Marshall County Blueberry Festival is being negotiated.
Neither side would divulge details about what is being contested by the Blueberry Festival, but an agreement is expected soon. The Blueberry Festival rejected the contract at a board meeting earlier this month.
the current contract on file ends this year. It was a three year contract requiring the festival to pay $31,000 each year in rental fees. The contract also requires the festival to maintain a $5 million insurance coverage policy.
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth's Rockies have to feel that there is no place like home and living to play another week at the Rockpile has brought the reward of 7-2 South Bend St. Joseph.
The Indians come to Plymouth having lost back to back games in week five and six against Marian (8-2) and Penn (10-0). Last week they survived an opening round playoff scare at home against Hobart. They were able to do all that while replacing 10 starters from a year ago.
Carol Marie Kipfer
Sept. 29, 1927 - Oct. 27, 2014
BREMEN — Carol Marie Kipfer of Bremen passed away on Monday, Oct. 27, 2014 at 3 p.m. at Miller's Merry Manor in Wakarusa. She was born Sept. 29, 1927 to Lawrence and Jennie (Kring) Yocum. She married Robert Kipfer in October of 1946.
Carol is survived by four children, Janet (Dennis) Keck of Middlebury, Larry (Constance) Kipfer, Jill (John) Yeager, and Lon (Deb) Kipfer all of Bremen.
She will be missed by her 20 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
Aaron L. Stephens

ARGOS — Aaron L. Stephens, 24, died Monday, Oct. 27, 2014 in Jacksonville, N.C.
Arrangements are pending with the Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, Plymouth.

Cuban sandwich, Pelham Manor!
- Pat Hammond Nov 7, 2008 10:37 AM
I feel I've done adquate "research" to report on this fine example of the Cuban sandwich (I've had 3!).
Bakery at Four Corners (4668 Boston Post Rd) has a lunch counter, where sandwiches are made to order. The soups can be good too. One day I turned up hungry and there was nothing special at home, so I wandered in and spotted "Cuban sandwich". It's done right. It comes out of the press hot and crisp, with just a little garlicy flavor. Inside the bread is ham, sliced pork, Swiss cheese, and sliced pickle. The pork has just the right amount of fat on the edges, but they 'd trim it off, if you asked. They put mayo on it, but I'm accustomed to mustard. If you are too, ask for mustard when you order. It costs $7, but for me it's two servings, so a real bargain.
Four Corners is anchored by a CVS, if you need a landmark.
Cheers, Pat
re: dolores
I don't think so, Dolores. But it you want it cut on an angle, just ask the nice lady behind the counter. I was trying to think back to when I lived in Tampa and had my first. I can't recall how it was sliced though.
I was in the area this week and went, and had one with mayonnaise and, at the advice of my Dominican husband, asked them to cut it on an angle for me. Well, all I have to say is "Wow". This was one great sandwich. I restrained myself from eating all of the second half, and had it for dinner that night. The woman who works there told me she cooks the pork once a week in the kitchen. It was this wonderful combination of garlicky mayonnaise, melted cheese, ham, and tender pork, all on a hot, toasty, crispy, flattened bun. The baked goods also looked very nice.
re: adamclyde
Well, there is a very well priced food market in New Rochelle that might serve as an excuse. Lemons - 7 for a dollar. I bought two and a half pounds of beautiful pork belly for six dollars, and the $3.99 a pound short ribs, which looked great, were a great bargain for this Manhattanite. I'll try to find the name for you - it's off the main drag in New Rochelle. They also had a lot of well priced Asian ingredients, which I appreciated, and I picked up some Chipotle peppers to use, for, well, something.
re: MMRuth
P.S. The market is Viva Grande - 38 Centre St. and Huguenot St.

I don't see why not - the sandwich is posted on the menu on the wall.
re: MMRuth
Yes, they do serve them on weekends, and yes it is as good as Pat said. It is also as good as the one I had in Portchester eons ago.
Thanks for the pointer, Pat. Who would know if you didn't tell us, since you can't tell from the outside.
Meanwhile, I didn't even try any of the pastries!
re: dolores
Was it cut on the diagonal? The last time I was in that's how they cut it for me. I've only tried one weekend day, and thought that the one(s) I had during the week to be a smidge better. Not sure why.
One day, as I waited for a friend who was at the doctor's next door, I went into the bakery and got a cup of wonderful soup and I think it was called either "taco soup" or "tortilla soup" and man, was it ever good. Nice little bits of jalapeno floating around in a tomatoey broth and good chunks of sausage. Very warming, on a cold day.
I'm very glad you enjoyed it. It's the only place along that little stretch where one can grab a decent bite to eat.
I hardly ever buy pastry either, except for the occasional cookie for a grandchild.
re: Pat Hammond
have you ever tried pelham gourmet (?) just off the bpr .strange little eat in and take out place just down the road from 4 corners
re: rich51
You're right! I rarely think of that place. I'm not sure of the name either. I usually go into Pelham or on to New Rochelle. Thanks for the reminder.
re: Pat Hammond
Yes, I specifically asked for it to be cut on the diagonal. I doubt it does anything to the flavor, but I assume it's traditional.
re: dolores
As it turns out, cutting it that way makes it much easier to eat. Start chomping from the "point". When they're freshly made, the melted cheese can make for a slippery sandwich that's not easy to hold together if, like me, you can't wait a minute!
re: Pat Hammond
OK, you two are now making me VERY hungry for one of these sandwiches! I'm going to have to find an errand to run up there next time I can get the car.
re: Pat Hammond
I agree they're easier to eat when cut on the bias, but I have to say I was very puzzled by all the earlier discussions about why the sandwiches might not be worth ordering if not cut that way.
re: Westjanie
Oh, I think those of us who've eaten one, would be happy no matter how it was sliced. It's mainly about ease of handling. And maybe tradition? It's one good sandwich, though!
re: Pat Hammond
re: Pat Hammond
I used to be in the Miami area on a regular basis some years ago and became familar with Cuban food during those visits -- including a place in Coral Gables, whose name I cannot now remember, which was said to have the best sandwiches.. After reading these discussions about how to cut a Cuban sandwich, I actually spent some time desperately trying to remember how those were cut -- I suppose on the diagonal, but that's not what I now remember about them -- more the taste, how they were compressed, and the look and feel of the restaurant.
re: Westjanie
Westjanie, they are one (I'm sure there are similar sandwiches in other cultures) of the original 'paninis', which are (were?) all the rage. Yes, pressed until all the insides are meltedy and good. The interior of this place is NOT Cuban sandwich, it's young urban professional coffee and bakery, with a surprise Cuban sandwich place in the back.
As I noted, my memory goes back to a wonderful woman from Cuba who brought me to her neighborhood in Portchester -- before IT was chic, remember the ice cream parlor on West. Ave.? -- and pointed me to a store that sold Cuban sandwiches. I had never had one before and hadn't had one since. My sandwich from eons ago was cut on the diagonal, so for me it was strictly nostalgia.
I would imagine that there are similar places still selling them in Portchester??
re: dolores
There may well be some place in Portchester that has the sandwiches, but all the places I see appear to represent different Latino nationalities and cultures. I'm pretty sure I ordered a Cubano years ago, just on principle, from Latin American Cafe in WP, but I have no memory of what it was like. For what it's worth, the "famous" Cubano spot in Coral Gables always struck me as a repurposed Dairy Queen, which seemed odd, but the sandwiches WERE very good.
re: dolores
I've schlepped around Port Chester a lot and have never seen a cubano on any menu (well, I've seen Mexican Torta Cubanos, but those are entirely different affairs).
If there is one, it would be at an oddity at some unsuspecting deli or some otherwise inconspicuous place, like it is in this Pelham place, rather than at a cuban place of which there are none in PC at all.
re: adamclyde
adamclyde, there is still a Cuban club on Westchester Ave., very near Main St. It was near here (and it was so long ago I don't remember the location) where I found the Cuban sandwich, down a side street.
Just as the charming ice cream parlor (Neilsen's?) is history on West. Ave. in PC, I think the demographic has changed. Life happens.
re: Westjanie
My initiation was in Ybor City, Florida, an old Cuban enclave section of Tampa. The "young urban professional coffee and bakery" Cuban, is as close as I've come to that experience. I almost missed it too, because my eyes were getting bleary skimming past all the "wraps" (a poor substitution for a sandwich, IMHO.). The Cuban is on the right of the board, almost at the bottom. Come on out!
re: Westjanie
Westjanie, Was the restaurant with the sandwiches Versailles - although Versaille is not very re-purposed Dairy Queen so maybe not. I worked down there for several years and can't picture a place like you are talking about and sadly have never been. I miss a good cuban sandwich as well as afternoon shots of Cuban coffee in the office?
re: laylag
No, Laylag, definitely not Versailles. It was on Coral Way, I believe (tho maybe some other major road), and in the outskiirts of downtown Coral Gables. We would be staying on Key Biscayne, and it was any easy destination from there.
Had one for dinner just now.. It was very good. The wraps we also picked up were just ok. My wife wouldn't try the Cuban which she said "smelled like feet". Being born with anosmia, I can't comment on the sandwich's scent but it tasted good to me. My only regret is I forgot to specify mustard. By the end of the sandwich I was regretting that. Our three year old daughter agreed with me on the taste of the sandwich and wasn't shy about demanding a 2nd piece. Thanks for the recommendation!
re: MMRuth
MMRuth, don't know if you read the other thread on the dreaded canned cranberry sauce but...yes, I did...I mixed c/s with mayo (that was a new one to me) and piled some of that onto the sandwich.
IMO, it was even better than before.
re: dolores
I've done that too!
re: laylag
I don't think the folks making the sandwiches are Cuban. They sure have everything else right, though. Even with mayo, it's a good sandwich.
re: Pat Hammond
Oh Pat - I just reread your original post and see that you did say no mustard and also see you said they put mayo on them. Definitely not Cuban people making those sandwiches. Since everything else you say seems right on I wonder why they'd make that condiment substitution. If I do get there I will remember to ask for mustard and request no mayo too.
re: MMRuth
Do you know their hours, I must get over there next weekend.
re: chowdom
I don't ... I was there around 12:15 today, but that doesn't help much!
re: chowdom
MMRuth's photo did me in! I went over there to pick up one for lunch (heaven help me!). I noted the hours for you:
Mon.-Fri., 7:30 am to 6 pm
Sat. 8 am to 6 pm
Sun. 10 am to 3 pm
re: Pat Hammond
Thanks so much :-)
re: chowdom
just tried the cubano at bakery at four corners yesterday. it was awesome. very authentic. this is the first advice from this board i've acted on, seeing as i'm new to the site. thanks!
re: debrouillard80
Glad to hear it! I'm always a little spooky about recommending what seems to me to be an out of the way place for lots of people. And what if I was wrong? Of course, that means I have to check periodically to be sure that good quality control is in place! :)
I went to to the Bakery at Four Corners and ordered the Cuban, and the sandwich was "HUGE", but it seemed to fall apart. Also there was no one in the bakery when I ordered and it took 8 minutes to make it, which I thought was rediculous. The Sandwich was messy and while the bread was toasty, it wasn't hot enough for the cheese to even melt. I won't go back for the Cuban, althought the best one outside of a deli in Ybor City, FL I've had thus far is at the Mamaroneck Diner, just ask them to not use butter and garlic on the bread in the process of making it.
On a side note, the sweet baked items were good and it seemed like the local meeting place for those who live in Pelham Manor.
re: WestchesterNY
I suppose it had to happen; I'm sorry it happened to you! It does sound like you got a "green" server. I guess I have to check them out AGAIN! I'll do a comparison with Mamoroneck Diner's version one of these days. I'm glad the baked goods made your visit worthwhile. My first Cubano was in Ybor City, as well.
Was in Pelham Manor today so we stopped. Very, very good Cuban. Asked for mustard, forgot to ask them not to put on mayo but everything else, really well done.
re: Pat Hammond
This is very sad news.
re: Pat Hammond
I was in the Bakery at Four Corners a month or so ago and saw the Cuban sandwich being made and it was once again a good sized sandwich. The last time I'd ordered it, it was half the size of it's former glory. I've bought a couple since then and while not as good as it was under the old management, it's respectable. Something is still missing when compared to the original version, but it's a good sandwich again. They list two Cubans on the board, so if you do go back to give it a try, be sure not to pick the one that contains pineapple!

re: rich51
This is wonderful news. Much closer for me than Pelham. Do you know the name of the place rich?
re: laylag
can't think of the name right now but it is on north ave, in wykagyl on the side with all the stores, across from cvs, just about the last storefront up the hill (towards downtown nr.) btw was it you looking for taco trucks and did you find them?
re: laylag
Just came back to report, and you all are way ahead of me. It's called Wrap's Club Deli. (The apostrophe is theirs, not mine!) 1287 North Ave. Pelham was much closer to me, but I'll trek out there sometime soon to check it out for myself.

The reason why I like Estonian stuff is because of course one of my parents is Estonian but also because when I went to the Australian Open I saw Kaia Kanepi play Alicia Molik and I preffered Kaia. So I convinced my parents to sit with the mob of Estonian fans so I could cheer for Kaia without it looking weird. That's when Estonian tennis came into my life!

Fran Quinn's 68 a 1st-day highlight at US Open
By JOEDY McCREARY
PINEHURST, North Carolina (AP) Playing in the U.S. Open for the first time since 1996, the 49-year-old golfing journeyman Fran Quinn shot a 2-under 68 on Thursday to join three other players in a tie for second.
Quinn has 15-year-old son Owen carrying his clubs and his late father's memory on his mind.
"It's a dream," he said, "and I hope I don't wake up until Sunday."
For someone whose career has mostly been spent in the second-tier U.S. tour below the PGA main event, this was the round of a lifetime.
Quinn's best finish at a U.S. Open came in 1994, when he wound up 43rd at Oakmont. He missed the cut two years later at Oakland Hills and hadn't been back since.
"I had other opportunities to go to the qualifying, but unfortunately - I had been out on the Web.com Tour a lot and I was right on the cusp of getting my card out there," Quinn said. "You couldn't really afford not to play. So unfortunately, you had to skip the Open at times."
He has four wins on the Web.com Tour but none since the 2010 Panama Claro Championship. He missed the cut in his only PGA Tour event last year, the Travelers Championship, and also was cut in eight of the 13 tournaments on the Web.com Tour that year and finished 177th on the money list.
Quinn missed the cut at his only Web.com tournament this year, the Panama Claro, and had to play his way to Pinehurst No. 2. He was the co-medalist at a sectional qualifier this month in Purchase, New York.
"To come back and play this year, I'm 49 years old, it's Father's Day weekend, I've got my boy on the bag, my dad (Fran Quinn Sr.) passed away two years ago, and I know he's looking down today," Quinn said. "And it's just a tremendous feeling."
Especially with the way he played - following up a strong start with a strong finish while recording what he called "a heck of a score at the U.S. Open."
He birdied two of his first five holes, hung around the top of the leaderboard all day and closed his round with a birdie on the par-3 ninth after landing his tee shot about 2 feet from the flagstick.
"I was like, `Wow, this is really - you shot 68,'" Owen Quinn said. "Reality set in."
As difficult as it is to put together a solid 18 holes at a U.S. Open, it's even tougher to do it a second time.
"It is only one round, but it's nice to put up the great score the first day," Quinn said. "But you know you have to keep it going. But having said that, it was a dream start. It was everything that I could want and more."

England Forwards Coach Graham Rowntree admits New Zealand's post-half-time blitz in Dunedin provided a stark reality-check, but insists his side's late comeback showed they can cope with the All Blacks at their very best.
While England head to Hamilton 2-0 down in the series, they can be buoyed by two performances that troubled the world champions at times. At Forsyth Barr Stadium last weekend, some precise, powerful mauling work in the early stages helped establish a 10-0 lead.
Photo: Getty Images
That advantage could easily have been extended before the break too. However, New Zealand weathered some sustained pressure to reach half-time only 10-6 behind, before launching into a series-clinching 20 minute-spell that yielded three tries.
Still, battling back through scores from Mike Brown and Chris Ashton, England showed immense character to end the contest within a point at 28-27 – a resurgence that tempered Rowntree's disappointment.
"We're frustrated," he explained. "The lads were pretty down after the game and the biggest thing we'll have taken was the stark realisation of the pace it was played at – the pace of top-class intensity.
"In the third quarter, New Zealand were white-hot. We stayed with them and came through that sticky period but there are plenty of things we have to learn as a forward pack. I couldn't have asked any more from them in terms of energy.
"A lot of [what we will try to improve] is detail under pressure and fatigue. That is what we are learning here and we'll get better. Then we'll be a tough team to beat.
"We took our chances well with those two tries we scored late on. Ultimately, we needed more points on the board before that third quarter.
"If Manu had scored from that breakaway it becomes 17-3 and there is a different complexion to the game. But it was a stark reality-check in terms of game intensity. The encouraging thing was that we can live with it."
Clearly set on rousing his charges for one last tilt at the All Blacks, Rowntree discussed his options for Saturday, sparing special praise for the tireless Geoff Parling.
Though their effort could not prevent another agonising reverse, England's forward replacements also made an impact in Dunedin – something Stuart Lancaster and his fellow coaches have taken into account.
"We haven't finalised selection but I was delighted with the young props. Kieran Brookes scrummaged really well on Test debut and so did Matt Mullan.
"Then you have players of the class of Dylan Hartley, Courtney Lawes and Billy Vunipola. They all added to the energy.
"Geoff Parling made 21 tackles. Again, he backed up from his performance the week before. I actually challenged him to do it again and his energy around the field was outstanding. Now he's got to better."

All That I Know Lyrics - Collective Soul
Review The Song (1)
In these lazy days
I barely see myself through
I lay here comfortable
My thoughts wrapped around you
I've got a lot on my mind
It's always you every time
You're all that I know
When the sun goes down
You're all that I know
When the sun comes
Rising like the devil in me
And when tomorrow wakes
It's sure to show
You're all that I know
These quiet nights
They nurture me to a bore
The only strength I find
Is when I'm wanting you more
I've had a lot on my mind
It still was you every time
