As Home Sales Quicken, So Do Realtors' Pulses
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Positive reports on the U.S. housing market have moved from a trickle to a torrent as home values rise, inventories shrink and homes sell faster than at any point in the past four years.
Take San Diego, where the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors reports that the $400,000 median price of a home in the region is 13% higher than last year.
Smaller homes, especially townhomes and condos, have really taken off. The GSDA says that those prices are up 19% in the same period. Single-family home sales are up 10% on a month-to-month basis, and single-family home sales are up 34% from October 2011.
Those numbers have local real estate agents raving -- in a good way."There's really only positive, encouraging news in these new numbers," association board president Donna Sanfilippo says. "You can't help but feel good about what we're seeing in the San Diego County real estate market. Homes are moving and prices are increasing. If our recent first-time homebuyer clinic is any indication, which turned into a standing-room only event, San Diego is becoming a real estate town again." It's not just San Diego. Seattle-based Redfin, an online real estate broker, says U.S. home sales increased in October by 21.8% across 19 U.S. major housing markets. Additionally:
- Home prices rose 8.4% from the same period in 2011 in those markets.
- Inventories have slackened, as the number of available "homes for sale" across the U.S. slid by 29% (and have fallen 5% from September to October).
- Lower inventories means U.S. homes are selling more rapidly, with the percentage of homes selling within 14 days of appearing on the market rising by 28%.

(bergamot, orange, black tea, pepper, ginger, coriander, saffron, dates, dried apricot, incense, osmanthus, rose, iris, vanilla, vetiver, tarragon, sandalwood, white cedar, guaiac wood, amber, tonka , labdanum, castoreum and musk)
The head notes are very true to the description, an interesting sparkly blend of bergamot, orange and black tea. The fragrance then becomes softer as the dried fruits surface accompanied by a shy incense. The dry down is a pale musk and amber mixture. Overall a very pleasant fragrance, it is gentle and soothing; better suited for fall/winter. The interesting tea note vanishes after a few minutes. The spices like pepper, ginger and coriander are so muted I could not detect them singularly. The fragrance lasts for about 4 hours and has minimal sillage in my opinion.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this fragrance despite the fact that it only lasted about two hours on me. It reminds me of Chanel's "31 Rue Cambon", which I love. I give it an overall rating of four instead of five because of its less than impressive longevity.

Thinking about installing solar on your home but don't know where to start or think its just too expensive?
Solar Chicago is here to help!
The City of Chicago, in partnership with World Wildlife Fund, have launched the Solar Chicago Program with the goal of reducing the cost of residential solar electric systems and increasing their adoption among homeowners throughout the Chicago metro area. Solar Chicago relies on two key components:
1. Lower cost: A discounted price achieved by pooling the purchasing power of the community, and an additional rebate that provides increased savings as more people contract for solar electricity on their homes.
2. Smarter decisions: A coordinated community education and outreach effort that engages municipal leaders, local employers, community groups, homeowners, and grassroot volunteers.
Participating in Solar Chicago helps simplify the process of researching is installation options for your home, while helping the City and surrounding communities achieve local and statewide sustainability goals.
Here's how it works:
Here's how it works:
1. Learn about the program. Visit the program website to learn about the benefits of solar and how much easier and cheaper solar installation can be through Solar Chicago.
2. Sign up. Register with no obligation. Find out the latest news and track group milestones on the webpage, like how many of your neighbors have joined.
3. Schedule a site assessment. The program's evaluation committee has already conducted a competitive bidding process, screened, and selected a contractor.
The selected contractor team of Juhl Energy / Microgrid Solar will help determine what works best for your needs and budget, and provide you a no obligation quote.
Timeline: Homeowners have until October to sign the contract and lock in the savings the program offers.
Help Spread the Word: More participants means a
better deal for you (incentive rebate) and more clean,
reliable solar power for the Chicago metro area. Please
spread the word about Solar Chicago to your co-workers,
friends, family and neighbors!
Workshops and other community events will be
scheduled throughout this summer. For more information

The Mexicans José Ignacio Bartolache (1739-90) and José Antonio Alzate (1729-99) were particularly active in their efforts to publish periodicals intended to keep their readers up to date in fields such as technology and natural sciences. Many newspapers from Mexico, Central America, and the Andean regions also participated in political or moral debates of their time. Though colonial censorship was strong, the political press grew disseminating subversive republican ideas of French philosophers. The Diario (1783) published in the Viceroyalty of New Granada by Francisco Javier Caro (1750-1822) is memorable indeed for its satires of bureaucracy.
By the end of the eighteenth century, many newspapers openly and critically dealt with politics. When the Revolution of Independence broke out in 1810, first in Caracas and then in Buenos Aires, journalism became a powerful offensive weapon. Simón Bolívar and other rebel leaders knew very well the importance of newspapers. In fact, many founded their own papers or had their proclamations and essays published in a variety of established papers such as La Gaceta de Caracas, El Mercurio Venezolano, El Correo del Orinoco, and La Gaceta de Buenos Aires. Decades later, many individuals from the generation of Independence continued to establish newspapers and magazines. Soon after he settled in Chile, the poet, philologist, and diplomat Andrés Bello began to edit El Araucano (1835-1850), continuing his previous work with literary and scientific periodicals in London.
In addition to the political uses of the press throughout Spanish America in the nineteenth century, literati and journalists began to steadily collaborate in many newspapers of the region. The mere informative or argumentative function of journalism was drastically broadened. José Fernández Lizardi, Andrés Bello, and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento are only a few of the major Hispanic authors whose works are deeply connected to journalism. Later in the century, other canonical writers such as José Martí and Rubén Darío would have most of their oeuvre published in newspapers. The influential Darío in particular believed journalism to be a valid means for verbal artists to reach a vast public, and suggested that it could be equated with una gimnasia del estilo ("gymnastics of style.") In the eighteenth century as well, some newspapers included poems among their articles. Later, many other short genres flourished in that hybrid space in which fiction and non-fiction coexisted and often merged. Among these genres were the familiar essay, the artículo de costumbres ("essay of daily manners"), the leyenda ("legend"), the tradición (an essay or short story about Colonial times), the modern short story, and the prose poem.
Many of the same journalistic themes established in the colonial, independence, and republic periods in Spanish America continue in newspapers and periodicals of the twentieth century. Most newspapers, still fond of their literary past, favor a generous participation from novelists, poets and other writers. Outstanding contemporary novelists such as Gabriel García Márquez, Alejo Carpentier, Miguel Ángel Asturias, and Tomás Eloy Martínez, have been professional journalists. Political discourse and propaganda continue to be central themes. In more recent years Spanish American journalism has also had to learn to coexist with crime and violence, predominate in such countries as Guatemala or El Salvador. While it is not easy to summary the varied and distinguished journalistic histories of these distinct countries, it is certain that the press played, and continues to play, a crucial role in the cultural and political evolution of Spanish America.

Merry Christmas Blog Hop!
This ornament features an image by Bill Plank titled Santa and His Helpers. I just love his images and really hope to see more in the future.
It was created using a domino for the base, after stamping the image with black StazOn, I colored it in with Sharpie markers, added some Ranger Pearl for the snow where ever Santa's beard falls, bordered it with some icicle colored Stickles, coated it in Diamond Glaze and altered a brad into a hanger.
What would a blog hop be without some candy? So one lucky person will win these gorgeous rubber stamps. Just leave comments along the way - each time you do you will earn another chance at winning!

Press Release #12-049
Opening May 8 at 5:30 p.m. Flow & Fluctuation brings together two distinct bodies of work, which at first glance share little in common—"The Atmosphere Exposed: Photographs of Halos, Mirages, Iridescent Clouds... and more!" and bronze sculptures by Carol Brown Goldberg. Both "The Atmosphere Exposed" photographers and Goldberg explore and record patterns of change over time as a way to understand underlying phenomena in our world. The resulting exhibition, Flow & Fluctuation, looks at points of convergence between atmospheric events in the photographs and recycled alchemy in the sculptures. Dr. Chuck Adler of St. Mary's College of Maryland will give a presentation on "Light and the Landscape: Understanding What You See" at 6:30 p.m.
"The Atmosphere Exposed" represents a selection of 44 photographs from the original juried exhibition held in conjunction with the 10th International Light and Color at the Open Air Conference at St. Mary's College of Maryland in 2010. From crepuscular rays to a cartwheel rainbow, the images document a staggering array of interactions between light and the earth's atmosphere and landscape. All of the events are available to the naked eye, requiring no special equipment, just a passionate pursuit of atmospheric optics in the great outdoors. Some of these visual spectacles can be seen every day, while others occur once in a lifetime. Equally diverse is the range of photographers, encompassing scientists, meteorologists, and amateurs from around the world.
Like the photographers, Carol Brown Goldberg brings attention to the overlooked, coaxing beauty, humor, and complexity from everyday objects. And like the photographs, Goldberg's sculptures reflect an experimental approach involving a kind of chase or hunt. Each of her cast bronze sculptures represents a unique time capsule that freezes a fleeting encounter of disparate elements. Some of her subjects are already obsolete while others await the fate of our consumer culture. As such they can be seen as relics of another time or by extension, offer glimpses into the future.
The American Center for Physics' biannual exhibition series explores the interplay between science and art and their shared quest to illuminate the universe and our place in it. Begun in 1997, the program features artists whose work is inspired by current trends in science as well as technology, medicine, and mathematics.
To visit the exhibition at the American Center for Physics located at One Physics Ellipse, College Park, Maryland 20740, see http://www.acp.org/map.html or call 301-209-3100. The exhibition is is free and open to the public, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (except holidays) and runs through mid-October 2012.

Redo aortic valve surgery with endovascular control of the internal thoracic artery graft.
The Journal of heart valve disease 20(2):175 (2011) PMID 21560818
Redo aortic valve surgery (AVS) in patients with patent pedicled internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts remains a challenging procedure because of the possibility of injury to the grafts and difficulties in optimal myocardial protection. This procedure is associated with a significant mortality and morbidity. Different approaches to myocardial protection and ITA graft dissection and control have been described. An intraoperative technique is proposed that provides endovascular control of the ITA graft, using an angioplasty balloon positioned during cross-clamping.

Context-aware computing — which leverages information about users and their environments to improve the interactions among them — has been around for almost two decades. However, it has been implemented commercially only in limited applications, such as those using location information to find nearby friends or stores.
This has occurred mainly because of a lack of relevant standards, few devices with the capabilities necessary to perform context-aware computing, and limited sources of context-related information to draw on.
Now though, context-aware computing is ready to take off, due to significant improvements in social networking, mobile technology, smart phones, and sensor networks, said University of Colorado associate professor Rick Han.
In addition, researchers have become better at combining location-based, presence, social-network-profile, and other data to determine a user's context, said William Clark, research director at market research firm Gartner Inc.
Because of this, vendors and researchers are beginning to release more advanced context-aware computing applications such as recommendation engines that run on mobile phones, and better customer-service and information-management tools.
However, the technology still faces technical and marketplace challenges, such as those related to privacy and data integration.
Some of the early ideas behind context-aware computing came from ubiquitous-computing research conducted at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the early 1990s. This cutting-edge research required customized and expensive hardware, software, and networks.
Today, though, many of these formerly-advanced technologies are affordable and widely available. "The price of hardware has come down considerably. And everyone with a smart phone has a context-aware device," said Carnegie Mellon University associate professor Anind K. Dey.
In the early 1990s, putting sensors on devices wasn't easy, according to Bo Begole, a principle scientist and manager of PARC's Ubiquitous Computing Group. Now, he said, that is simple.
Over time, various vendors have introduced CA tools and hardware, such as Cisco Systems' Collaboration in Motion, Avaya's Aura, Rearden Commerce's Rearden Personal Assistant, several AeroScout products, several Appear Networks products based on its Appear Context Engine, and RES Software's RES PowerFuse.
Context-aware computing's goal is to let systems react to users based on their environments.
For example, a user could employ a context-aware system to look for a movie and theater. The application would combine information about the location of the user and nearby theaters, the users' film-preference history, the current time, and upcoming movie schedule to find an appropriate nearby show.
Context-aware computing can also improve business processes such as sales, inventory, scheduling, and purchasing by tailoring the way an application presents information to customers and employees, formulating suggestions, and automating some parts of the decision-making process.
For example, a sales application might prominently list the products that customers purchased in the past to make it easier for them to find what they want, or it might suggest sales-call opportunities based on a customer's buying history.
The technology could also improve customer-service interactions by providing company representatives with information about customers and even suggesting new products they might want.
Context-aware-related research leverages work in various areas including sensors, social networking, semantic analysis, location awareness, activity recognition, and machine learning.
Context-aware systems make decisions and provide information based on multiple sources of information about users and from applications — acting as sensors — that gather data from users and their surroundings.
A basic system includes a contextually responsive application and hardware elements such as PCs, sensors, and switches.
Some of the most useful sources of contextual data include location (captured, for example, from a GPS system), identity (from information a system gathers about a user), activity (such as from a smart-phone-based to-do list), and time (from the system clock).
A smart phone is well-suited to context-aware computing because it brings together multiple data streams, including those related to user location and movement, and communications history.
Today, context-aware systems can also gather information from social networks.
Once they have acquired data, systems must understand the context that the data represents and determine its relevance to user queries and activities. Semantic technologies make it easier for systems to sort through, organize, aggregate, and interpret data streams.
Ultimately, context-aware systems must identify what actions to take based on the information. They can use expert systems to make decisions by determining how an organization's rules apply to the semantic analysis of context-related data.
Organizations have employed context-enriched services on a limited basis.
For example, airlines use the technology to provide relevant information — such as weather conditions at destinations — to customers via the Web, telephone, or applications such as e-mail, said Venkatesh Krishnaswamy, senior manager with Avaya's Emerging Technologies and Products Division.
Retailers have deployed context-aware systems to track a customer's presence on their website and to start an interaction — such as trying to sell a specific product — based on context like the visitor's activity or navigation patterns.
Corporations use the technology to work with employee information such as communications patterns and collaboration histories to, for example, present the people most frequently contacted at the top of an employee's personalized contact list.
Some corporations use context-aware computing to optimize and economize their companywide software-configuration process, added Jim Kirby, RES Software's president for the Americas. RES tools analyze users' context to automatically recognize which software they work with, and then configure their workspaces with only the necessary applications. This reduces software-licensing overhead.
The rise and increased availability of location-based technology and social networking have helped make context-aware computing easier to implement.
Systems can acquire considerable relevant data about users from their locations, as revealed by GPS readings or geolocation sensors.
"The development of standardized interfaces for exchange of location data between applications is a key enabler," said Avaya's Krishnaswamy.
And, he added, "Several start-ups are beginning to offer services such as semantically rich mapping data, real-time traffic information, location-aware advertising or promotions, and location-aware social networking."
According to the University of Colorado's Han, "The content on social networks can provide a whole new set of context that was not available before."
If users allow a context-aware application to access their social networking data, the system could then collect relevant information.
The technology could also help implement policies regarding presence, which describes a user's willingness and availability to communicate. Context awareness could help automatically set users' presence settings based on their preferences and activity, as well as the time of day.
As the technology grows and captures more data, privacy could become a concern. Efforts to improve authorization, authentication, and accounting could increase trust in context-aware systems, which could encourage adoption.
Advances in networks, mobile hardware capabilities, social computing, service-oriented architecture, and unified communication will make building and using context-enriched services easier.
Context-aware computing can help businesses by increasing efficiency, thereby reducing costs and improving workforce effectiveness.
By gathering relevant information about customers, the technology also improves the sales, product development, and service processes. This would let companies more effectively target, attract, and retain new customers; create and customize new products and services; and expand into new markets and geographical areas.
Information security and privacy applications could also use contextual data to function more effectively.
In July, Radiant Logic released Context Browser, a Web-based application that lets users search contextually across structured information stored in different places.
Globys recently launched the Mobile Occasions contextual marketing service for cellular-phone providers. It combines billing and demographic information, as well as other data, to target advertisements to customers.
Ryerson University's student-based Digital Media Zone and Appear Networks are testing an application that users with disabilities could download to an Android smart phone to help them navigate the Paris subway. The Mobile Transit Companion gathers contextual information about train schedules, users' destinations, and their special needs, and presents applicable travel instructions in a way that is appropriate for their disability. For example, a blind person would receive audio instructions.
Cisco is working on the Collaboration in Motion initiative. This project would integrate location, activity, behavior, network traffic patterns, and other types of information from the company's routers, as well as other communications and networking products, to bring context-aware technology to mobile applications.
AeroScout has implemented Cisco's platform commercially in applications and handheld devices that gather contextual information about a patient and hospital resources, and enable healthcare workers to quickly find the type of equipment and supplies needed.
AeroScout uses the same technology in products for the manufacturing, logistics, and transportation industries.
A key element in this implementation is the ability to leverage information from multiple sources, explained Steffan Haithcox, AeroScout Senior Director of Marketing. For example, the system gathers sensor data from patients via Wi-Fi and tracks equipment via GPS or RFID technology.
Context-aware technology can add cost and complexity to applications.
One problem the approach faces is that many organizations acquire context-related data from different sources, many of which use different data formats. This creates potential data-access and -integration problems
Moreover, the ability to aggregate large amounts of data could make it easier to uncover private information about people, said Han.
Some advanced context-aware services require considerable time and computational power to process large amounts of data, said PARC's Begole.
According to Carnegie Mellon's Dey, proponents must better prove the technology's value. "While I think we've made considerable progress in building more compelling applications, I don't think we've done a good job explaining why adding context to an application is a valuable asset." And if context doesn't noticeably improve users' experience with devices or applications, they're likely to simply disable the capability, he added.
In the long run, context — with its promise of intelligently improving the way users work with devices and applications — could be just as important as Internet search technology, said Gartner's Clark.
Context could become a source of differentiation for software and handset vendors, mobile network operators, and communications vendors.
However, said Begole, a privacy-related debate will occur over the type of information that context-aware applications should be able to access. There is a risk of backlash if consumers don't feel protected, he said. "People are not sure if the benefit of exposing that much personal information outweighs the risk," he explained.
Nonetheless, Hossein Rahnama, research director of Ryerson University's Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing Lab and Appear Research Labs' director of innovation, predicted good things for context-aware computing.
The technology will get easier as the tools and platform mature, he explained. As this occurs, he said, software vendors won't have to develop all tools and applications components on their own.
For this and other reasons, he concluded, "The future is going to be context aware."

Why I'm Not Running A Marathon In 2012
|January 4, 2012
|Posted by Katy under Inner Musings, Running
*Edit- I apologize for the super long title showing up in Reader. There was a glitch in Ecto and didn't catch it until after the post was published. *
Reading through my goals for 2012, you see that I have a lot of fitness goals for this year. They all are feasible and well within my reach, but I will definitely be busy this year.
However, there is one goal that is noticeably absent…
Judging by the amount of people who have commented to me about it on Twitter the past few days, it seems like some of you are surprised that I will not be tackling 26.2 miles in 2012. If you have been reading for a while, you know that I was 19 weeks through training for the Chicago Marathon last year when I had to stop due to a stress fracture.
I resolved that I would recover and make the Walt Disney World Marathon this Sunday my first marathon, but dropped down to the half for various reasons. Then I said that I would attempt to run Chicago again this year and left it at that.
Yet, running a marathon in 2012 didn't make the list….why?
This decision came from careful thought and rationalization, but it was not easy. What it came down to was these few points:
- I'm tired of being injured: Let's face it, being injured sucks and I was the poster child for injuries in 2011. I love running, but my body does not seem to feel the same way. Everyone has different limits as to what their bodies can handle and apparently my body cannot handle a lot of mileage. Admittedly, many will say that less than 30 miles per week (mpw) is very low, but the mid-20's is about as many mpw my body can handle right now. When I start creeping towards the 30 mpw, that is where I hit trouble. I'm not saying that I like it, but I am embracing it and learning to deal with it.
- I want to strengthen my body: From speaking with other marathoners and coaches, training for a marathon wrecks havoc on the body. I want to use 2012 to get my body in the best shape it can be in before tackling a marathon in 2013. This includes figuring how why I seem susceptible to stress fractures whether it be a calcium deficiency or something else. I don't want to keep running (pun intended) from one injury to another and I need to figure out the root of my problems. I'm not saying that not running a marathon will prevent another injury from popping up, but it may reduce my chances.
- Honestly, I have other goals: With all of my time off from running last year, I fell in love with cycling. This sparked a new desire to complete a triathlon and see how I do with the new challenge. Doing a triathlon definitely takes me out of my comfort zone, but I am excited to see where this leads me.
- My better is better than your better: This is my phrase for the year. No it is not meant to be cocky, but what I mean is that I really want to be better than I (and others) ever think I could be. I want to do well at the half-marathon distance and I may never be as fast as these speedy bloggers, but I know that I have a lot more in me. I know that I can break a 1:50 half-marathon and even a 1:45- but it will take hard work and dedication. I don't want to (excuse the language) half-ass my training for races or triathlons. If I want to do well I have to focus on one goal and one goal only.
I'm not going to say it won't be difficult come October when others run the Chicago Marathon. Of course I'm going to wish I was there running it and I am set on it being my first marathon, but Chicago will still be there in 2013…waiting for me to kick asphalt!
Remember, you don't have to run a marathon to be a runner!
And don't worry- there will be plenty of asphalt kicking in 2012! I have big goals even bigger than I've made public so far…but that is for another day.
3 Responses to Why I'm Not Running A Marathon In 2012
Good reasons all around, Katy!
Overall, I think this is a great decision, and one that I'm trying to make right now too. I've always wished I had one specific thing that I was awesome at, but I have a lot of interests all vying for my attention. Focusing on one event should hopefully let you see just what you can do when it's getting 100% of your effort.
You shouldn't have to make excuses for NOT running a marathon.
By the way, where was your stress fracture? In you foot? Do you know which bone? I never knew this before I started minimalist running, but bones actually get stronger when you stress them, so long as you give them plenty of time to recover after big stresses (long runs).
You might want to consider the Run Less, Run Faster program (I wrote about it here). It only has three runs per week, and you supplement with two cross-training days (which can be swimming, biking, rowing, or anything else cardio) to give your body time to recover from the runs (and thus be less likely to be injured). I've done the program for the Disney Half, and I should definitely PR (and by at least 6-7 minutes, and I wasn't really starting from a very good base) so three runs is definitely "enough" running (although it feels weird at first)
Good luck at Disney! I'll look for your shirt!

Whirlpool Corporation And Harbor Habitat For Humanity Partner With The Patterson And Murphy Families To Build Homes In Benton Harbor, Mich.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE: WHR) and Harbor Habitat for Humanity have completed construction on the homes built in partnership with Tynisha Murphy and the Patterson family, dedicating the homes in a ceremony that took place December 8. The builds took place on side-by-side lots in the Harbor Shores community of Benton Harbor.

"We couldn't be happier about our long-standing partnership with Whirlpool Corporation," said Erin Hudson, Executive Director of Harbor Habitat for Humanity. "The dedication of the company and its tireless volunteers has truly made a difference in our community and in communities across the country."
Through this build, and the volunteer hours the family put in, Patrick and Brunetta Patterson have achieved their goal of home ownership – improving the living situation for their three daughters and two grandchildren. The Pattersons, who are actively involved in their local church, Our Center for Better Living, never believed that would be possible."We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to become homeowners," said Patrick Patterson. "It has been an absolute pleasure to work side-by-side with these volunteers. Without Habitat for Humanity and Whirlpool, our dream never would have become a reality." The build is part of Whirlpool Corporation-sponsored Habitat builds that took place throughout the United States in 2012. Whirlpool also sponsored homes in Amana, Iowa, Clyde, Ohio and at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN. "We are so proud of our employees' selfless efforts in supporting the homeownership goals of the Murphys and Pattersons," said Tanu Grewal, Senior Brand Manager at Whirlpool Corporation. "It's truly great to see the results of our partnership with Habitat for Humanity, right here in our hometown." Whirlpool Corporation has been a partner of Habitat for Humanity International for 12 years, supporting Habitat's work in 240 countries and sponsoring more than 100 homes since the partnership began in 1999. In that time, the company has donated a range and ENERGY STAR qualified refrigerator to every Habitat home in the U.S. and Canada, totaling more than 140,000 appliances. Whirlpool also supports and participates in the annual Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project and is the first corporation to provide on-going donations to Habitat for Humanity ReStore resale outlets, helping to raise an additional $4.6 million for the organization.

Hi Bob. Please repost (or download and re-upload) your picture on memorial 60207091 to memorial 48177889 which is older, if incorrectly named. I am cleaning up the wrong information in Old North Beverly (never mind the simply misplaced junk, for now). Continued thanks for the photos. Barry

Cemetery Maintenance
Hi Bob,
There was a very small article in the Danvers Herald tonight about the problems with the Holten Street Cemetery. The last living trustee has died and there is no longer any group or individual helping to maintain this cemetery. You can read about the cemetery from a Boston Globe article at
I have mobility issues, but if not would help to do some of the maintenance work. Do you know of any individuals or groups that could help. One of my thoughts might be the Boy Scouts Troop 16 in Danvers. Do you have any ideas? I would hate to see the cemetery fall into disrepair.

Benjamin Goodhue
I'm trying to locate and photograph the graves of a variety of Massachusetts elected officials, and have a quick question regarding the grave of Benjamin Goodhue (1748-1814), Senator from MA 1796-1800. Your photo of the grave shows that it was erected in 1789, and speculates that it was put up 25 years before his death, which seems odd. Is it possible that the grave pictured is actually that of his father, Captain Benjamin Goodhue, and that Senator Goodhue is buried elsewhere? Any help you could provide would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hannah Crowninshield Armstrong
Hannah is NOT the daughter of Benjamin Williams Crowninshield! She is the daughter of Benjamin "Sailor Ben" Crowninshield (1758 - 1836) and Mary Lambert (1760 - 1851) both of Salem, Mass. My source is quite reliable - the Phillips Library of the Peabody Essex Museum of Salem, Mass. (www.pem.org/library/finding_aids/MH16...jamimCrowninshieldFamilyPapers.pdf ) This library has quite a collection of letters, documents, artwork and more on this notable family. If you need more information, please contact me. Thank you in advance for correcting this error.

RE: Berry transfers, etc.
Thanks. Evidently Find A Grave messages (like photo requests) and now transfers, are getting blocked. I'll find them and fix them up.
