The Musician's Unconventional Guide To Getting A Record Label Deal
Conventional wisdom says that if you want to do something right, you follow the footsteps of a person that did it before you. This is generally the safe way of doing things. It's kind of like trying to get into a college; you don't know what to do, so you take cues from people who did it before you. If they can do it, then so can you, right? The music industry is a big trickier, since there is no school for musicians that guarantees employment after you graduate. You could be some kid who just thought up a song in their basement, and end up a multi-millionaire when it is all over.
Sometimes an unconventional approach will help you succeed. On your downtime, focus on the content of the music itself. You may have a catchy song, but the sound seems to lack that professional quality that you hear in other songs. Also, taking feedback whether it be good or bad is never a wrong move. You really need to hear yourself from another perspective, since you are used to listening to yourself all day long. You should also refer to what the big guys do, even if you are a small fish in the big pond.

Carmen Rasmusen Herbert
I worry a lot.
My husband is always telling me, "Stop worrying." But then I worry about worrying.
It's very worrisome.
My biggest worry is probably the same as most parents out there: my children. What they're eating? What they're watching? How much they're eating? How much they're watching? Are they learning enough at home? Are they learning enough at school? Do they have friends? Do they feel loved?
And for crying out loud, are they ever going to stop picking their noses?
As I've sat and thought (and worried) about who and what is influencing my boys, I came across an interesting article from Forbes titled "7 Crippling Parenting Behaviors that Keep Children from Growing into Leaders."
And, of course, I panicked because more than likely, I'm hindering them in some way. But as I read through the article, I found that even though I can most definitely improve on some behaviors, I have been well prepared to face the difficulties of modern parenting because of the love and instruction I received as a child.
According to Forbes contributor Kathy Caprino, one of the behaviors to watch out for is "rescu(ing) too quickly."
I remember playing outside for hours and hours as a child. I always think my kids will get bored if I don't have every second of every day planned, but when I think back on my childhood, most of my "free time" was play time.
In elementary school, we had huge trees that grew up on the field behind our school. Every recess in early autumn and spring was spent up in those trees. We used to pretend we were falling and have one of the girls run and get a boy to "rescue" us. We would climb up to the highest branch, swing our legs over and hang over the edge.
That was probably pretty dangerous.
But we grew confident in our abilities and didn't really think about falling. After all, even if we did, there was a very strong and capable fourth-grader waiting at the bottom with open arms.
I have often thought about my boys climbing trees and how nervous I'd be if I saw them do what I did. But I also think of the adventure and boost of self-confidence and assuredness that came from something as simple as climbing a tree.
I don't think it's allowed at my old school anymore. And while I understand the practical and legal reasons, I think it's a bit of a shame. Is over protecting worse than a broken arm? Hmm.
Another hindering behavior, according to Caprino, is that "we rave too easily."
I heard this before I had kids and thought it was ridiculous. How is it possible to praise a child too much?
My boys have recently become little artists and are at their craft table drawing pictures all day long. A few days ago, both drew pictures and brought them to me. My oldest drew a picture of Thomas the Train rushing down the hill with wind in front of him, his wheels clattering down the tracks complete with grass growing underneath and the word "HELP" bubbling out of his smoke stack.
I was super impressed and hung the drawing on the fridge.
Then my 3-year-old brought me a picture of, well, what looked like a snake.
"Beckham!" I exclaimed. "That's wonderful! That looks so good. What is it?"
He looked at me, then looked at the picture. "Um, it's a river."
"Wow! Look at that river!" I grabbed it and hung it up, too.

Starting build - 3052 window is it big enough
We have come up with our plans, gotten our building permit and they begin digging tomorrow! But I am still not sure about window sizes! I'm starting to panic. I love the 6'8" doors with transoms in a 9' ceiling space, but I have no idea how big the windows should be. I know I want to raise them to give a better view but I'm not sure if a 3052 (3'x5'2") will be tall enough. Once I know the window size/placement I can carry the header height around the entire first floor with the wraparound porch and balance the windows from there.
I have searched and I did find some references with pictures in Tinkers post about 9' ceilings and the comparison between 6'8" doors with transoms and taller windows. I loved her comparisons but there were no dimensions that I could see. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Pictures/diagrams greatly welcomed as well.
What is the head height for the transome over the 6'-8" door? Will that be the head height for all windows, or will the windows have transoms?
Basically you have two choices:
--Use the transom head height for overall consistency throughout the first floor;
--Choose some other standard height for window heads and have the door stand out as an exception.
The higher the window head, the more light will be admitted deeper into the room. In my colonial house the window heads on the first floor are framed so that the 4" interior trim is flush with the ceiling, making the windows as close to the ceiling as they can be. In a classic colonial, this is a great advantage, since it maximizes the interior light for a relatively few windows.
Good luck with your project.
How close do you want them to come down to your floor?
I have a classic cape cod house with double hungs. First floor ceiling is 8' and my windows are 2650 (30inches x 60inches). The windows sit about 1' down from the ceiling and 28" off the floor.
The upstairs has 2640 double hungs, set high within the dormer (from the outside, it looks normal, but the inside, the trim is right at the ceiling--so probably like VC--about 4" down.)
The proportions are great on them.
The upstairs ones do bring light into the room better than the downstairs ones because they are set higher to the ceiling.
The downstairs ones limit placement of furniture or else the furniture blocks a portion of them. We've chosen to set the couch against the window wall for now (we have a small home, and a small LR with lots of "traffic paths" so, it needs to sit where it needs to sit).
I also have a pair of single hung 3040 (3x4) windows in a back bedroom (I think they were used for egress; not sure). If I pretend they went to the ceiling, to give me your proportions, they would probably be okay proportion-wise. They are about 38" finished sill height off the floor. In your 9' ceilinged house, they'd have a feeling of being more retangular and less squat than my 3040s in this room. If you had 12" of header room, then your proposed 3052s would be fine. I think if you shorten your header though, you will feel like you are looking over your wall edge to see out (the bottoms will be too tall).
So, figure out where you want the bottom of the window to land in your spaces.
One other thing to consider--will you have any grids in your windows? If so, be sure the proportions you pick lend itself to the shape of grid you want... Sounds silly, but if you wanted 6 light panes, and you ended up with square "lites" and you really wanted vertical rectangle ones, you'd be disappointed. The same is true for people who put in a transom above a door, but when all said and done it looks "squatty".
Maybe that will help for your consideration.
One last thing~
when I was trying to make window size decisions for my remodel/addition, I drew some wall perspectives by hand with graph paper and drew different options for sizes of windows.
Take a room/wall from your plan, and draw it *to 9' high* and its width, and then draw in different sized windows. That should give you a better idea of placement too.
We used 3052 windows on the first floor, set at 7' high, and using 7' high doors (we only have a handful on the first floor), so that header heights match. With a 5 1/2" crown molding, and 3 1/2" casing I think it looks just right and not very squished.
We have a deep front porch, so setting them higher in the front of the house wasn't really viable. If you have trim on the windows outside, you should also consider how it will work with your elevation if you move the windows higher.
We find that we're getting lots of light, and while we were very worried that we set them too low for a 9' high ceiling, i think it worked out pretty much perfectly. The only thing I would have done differently is probably get a 8' high patio door. The andersen french door is only 6'11", but it's actually shorter than that.
I'll post some pics later.
Ok, Just to update. I used the designer suite to plug in the 3052 windows that my husband thought were plenty big enough. Raised them to match the transom over doors height and started printing pictures. Printed them at regular height 6'8" and higher. Also printed pictures of the raised windows but taller 3060. Husband said go bigger! Said there was too much space below the windows when raising the smaller 3052. So Now pricing the difference to see if its what we want to do!
Thanks for the suggestions!
And 18" floor to bottom of the window is our limit code wise.
18" is not a building code limit for the bottom of all windows. Only if the exposed area of the lower individual glass pane is larger than 9 s.f. AND the bottom of that pane is lower than 18" above the floor AND that glass pane is not tempered is it prohibited.
To trigger that requirement requires a very large double-hung window, often one of the 2 or 3 largest standard sizes a manufacturer makes, if they even make one that large, and an unwillingness to pay for tempered glass.
Don't design with the builder's generic window sizes. Pick the window you want and check the actual vertical and horizontal exposed glass dimensions in the catalog and calculate the exposed glass area. For instance, the 18" high untempered glass restriction would usually only apply to a doulbe-hung with a "frame size" greater than 3-6 wide X 6-8 high.
Design what you want; don't let common misinterpretations of the buidling code restrict you. A window can sit on the floor if the lower glass pane is smaller than 9 s.f. or tempered.
There are, of course, requirements for tempered glass near doors and stairs.

Planter saucer, ring, tray - DIY and cheap
trungson(9b San Jose CA)July 31, 2011
I bought 20 of 16-inch planters on clearance for $3.30 each and the tray/saucer is not on sales so it's like $4 or so, more than the planter itself, which does not make economical sense.
Any idea for DIY or cheap options? I put these on the outdoor deck so would like to raise the planter a bit above the deck, or something in between to avoid direct water contact with the deck.

Very warm
Not as fluffy as some other more expensive comforters, but it's more than met my expectations for warmth. Had it for about month and haven't experienced the down poking through. Great value for the money.Read More
Lot's of down all around....
ok, so it's really inexpensive, so can't expect too much but it 'leaks' quite a bit. OK if your duvet cover is light colored, a bit tougher with my black ones. I use a lot of lint brushes these days....Read More
Nice & Cozy
When you first receive it it looks rather thin but just needs to fluff out, which it does over time. It looks nice and is very warm.Read More
Great price
Great price for high quality down comforterRead More
look no further
I buy comforters yearly looking for the 'right one' This is it. Yes it's very warm, but I find most are when you have 2 bodies under them. What I like about this one is that although I've had it for several months and sleep with it every night, it is still lofty. This is in fact the only blanket on our bed, I turn our heat down to 62 at night and still wake up hot! Like most of us I hesitate to buy on line, but this is goo d quality and I can't see why anyone would be disappointed.Read More
Empty baffles, only 75% down
After letting it fluff back up to regain any loft lost during shipping, I noticed that several of the baffles were empty -- contained little to no filling. The manufacture's materials content tag also said that this is only 75% down, which would make this a very over priced feather comforter -- not a luxurious comforter by any means."Heavyweight" in the description is right -- most of the weight is from the thick shell required to keep the quills from sticking into you while sleeping. This means that it will eventually flatten out in a few years from its own weight.Read More
The comforter sheds the filling so that the whole room is filled with down. I bought this replace and old comforter that was shedding its down and now I have the same problem with the new one. I would not recommend this to anyone.Read More
Do NOT get this comforter
I read all the reviews before I bought this comforter, so I can't say that I was not forewarned. I thought "oh...it won't happen to me", "oh...those people write reviews for everything and they have high standards". But, I was wrong. I have never written a review before, but after 1 year there was NO down left in the center and all the down went to the edges. I had to give it away. I went back to my prior comforter that is about 20 years old (yeah, I know gross), but it is in much better shape... more down and better distributed. So, if you bother to read these reviews....then heed my advise.... do NOT waste your money! 1 year later and I have to get another one. I will get one that is probably twice as much as this one. But I know that a good comforter can last more than a decade rather than less than one year.Read More
Heavy Weight It Is Not
I bought this comforter because it was advertised as heavy weight. I have a need for serious warmth because of a health condition. I also wanted a comforter that was heavy on my body at night. I labored over my decision for a long time and carefully read each quilt description over and over.. The comforter is, in fact, very light in weight and only moderately warm. In fact, I pulled out my old comforter I was replacing, after sleeping with this one a few nights, and am using that instead. Sadly, I was hoping for a toasty wintertime with this.I was worried about not being able to actually see and feel the comforter, and I my worry was well-founded. This is not a Heavy Weight Comforter. I am so disappointed.Read More
Pure Luxury at a LOW Price!
I have to admit, I was skeptical when I ordered this comforter. I went to ***** and looked at several heavyweight down comforters but they were all priced at $350 and above, so naturally I wondered why this heavy weight comforter would be such a steal (even though I love, LOVE Overstock.com). I read a couple of the bad reviews and thought that those instances were probably pure accidental bad quality items and it wasn't worth stressing over, so I ordered one and crossed my fingers. When it came in the mail, I immediately put it on my bed and saw that it was very light feeling, thus perhaps it's not as warm as it claims to be? So that night I put on my long sleeved sleeping shirt and got ready to get up in the middle of the night for more blankets. I should tell you I'm a 2 comforter type of girl. I get cold really easily always have 2 comforters except when it's 90 outside. I live in Seattle, where in the winters it gets to be about 30's most of the time, so not freezing, but it's no Florida. Much to my surprise, I was actually hot the next morning! This comforter is so warm and cozy. It's like it heats up around you~! It's lightweight quality allows you to sleep comfortably so you don't feel like you're being buried in cotton. Pair this with a comfy duvet cover and you're all set for the Winter! I love, love, love it and think that this is a MUST HAVE for every bedroom!Read More

How to Buy a Down Comforter
Two major considerations when purchasing a down comforter are content and construction. The Federal Trade Commission has standards set that specify labeling procedures for products that contain down. If the label of a down comforter reads 100 percent down, the comforter must contain down feathers exclusively. The same is true if the label reads pure down or all down. Most down comforters are made with goose down, but some may include down feathers from other species of fowl. Look below to learn how to buy a down comforter.

Contrary to popular belief, down comforters do not just keep you warm in the depths of winter. You can find them in summer weights and variable fills, so there's a down comforter for every season and every sleeper. Down bedding comes in different levels of quality and different materials, so consider these tips before you shop.
Best Fills for Down Comforters
Warm and incredibly soft, down comforters are the height of luxurious bedding. Like all other bedding, down comforters can range from inexpensive to costly. The proof is in the filling. Inexpensive down comforters are filled with a combination of down and polyester or down and feathers. The best down comforters, which are usually also the most expensive, are full of pure, thick down. Take a look below to learn the best fills for down comforters. Hungarian goose down: Hungarian goose down is considered the most luxurious type of down. These extreme cold-weather birds have very thick, almost odorless tufts of down at the base of their feathers. This heavy, long-lasting down is most often used in comforters with a fill rating of 800, which means they can keep a person warm even in cold conditions. Eiderdown: Eiderdown is harvested by hand from the abandoned nests of Eider ducks, which pluck the down from their own backs and use it to cover their eggs. Eider ducks live in cold climates, so their down is thick and heavy. It is used in high-quality comforters with a fill rating of between 700 and 800. Eider duck down is the only type of duck down used in high-quality comforters. All other duck down is usually considered too smelly (and some duck down has tiny barbs) and is used in much less expensive comforters. Grey and white goose down: Grey goose down is used in dark comforters due it its grey color, but it is the same as white goose down in all other ways. Grey and white goose down, which is usually harvested from European or Chinese geese, is the most popular type of down used in middle-price-range pure down comforters. These comforters usually have a fill rating of 600 and above. Hypodown: Hypodown is a mixture of white goose down and milkweed. This all-natural filling is hypoallergenic and much more durable than pure down comforters. While pure down is still considered to be the preferable fill for comforters by most people, hypodown is gaining popularity with consumers who want a longer lasting product without synthetic fills.

Duvets vs Down Comforters
A new duvet or down comforter is a fast, easy way to change the look of your bedroom decor. These bed coverings can also keep you warm and toasty on a cold winter's night. Traditionally, the word duvet, a French word meaning "down," was interchangeable with down comforter. Today, however, when most Americans say the word duvet, they are actually referring to a duvet cover. Duvet covers are made to slip over many different types of comforters, whereas a down comforter can be used as a standalone bed covering. Take a look at this article to learn more about the differences between duvets and down comforters.
How to Choose Down Comforters on Sale

Purchase the skinny jean to highlight what few curves you do have, if your torso, legs and hips are very slim, which is frequently referred to as having a rectangle figure. The skinny jean will highlight what few curves your body has and give you a more hour-glass-shaped figure. According to the Shape Your Style website, the top 2009 blue jean trend is the skinny jean; however, if you have wide hips, it will not flatter your figure by purchasing a pair.
How to Pick the Right Jeans for Your Body Shape
Jeans come in all shapes and sizes and, similarly, so do women. Just because a woman is a size 5, doesn't mean that she can pick up any size 5 jean and expect it to fit her. Not only do jeans come in waist sizes, but also in lengths and by different styles such as wide leg, skinny leg, boot cut and straight leg. Although it can be frustrating, taking the time to pick out the right style of blue jeans for your body shape can ultimately be rewarding.
Finding the Perfect Pair of Jeans
Purchase a pair of jeans that are low rise and boot cut if you have an hourglass figure, with a lot of curves. Having an hourglass figure means that the width of your shoulders and hips are about the same, but your waist is a lot slimmer in width. Purchasing this time of blue jean will allow the jean to sit low on your waist and really flatter your figure. The boot cut leg will make your body look very even, while if you were to purchase a skinny leg jean, it would add more weight to your thighs.
Find a pair of jeans that have a very wide leg if you have broad shoulders, narrow hips and a flat rear end, which is typically referred to as the apple-shaped figure. The wide leg will add the illusion of a fuller rear end and thighs. Look for jeans that have button-flapped back pockets to add fullness to your rear end.
Purchase a jean that has wide, boot cut ankles is you are slim in the shoulder and stomach area, but heavier in the rear end, hip and thigh area, which is referred to as a pear shape. This type of jean with the wider ankle will make your hips look smaller. Also, find a jean that has fading on the rear end, as this will create a slimming illusion as well.

Police are searching for a suspect who robbed two stores at knife point in the city's Oxford Circle section.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The unarmed black man who died at the hands of a white Wisconsin police officer suffered from attention deficit disorder and tended to be an impulsive risk-taker, court documents show.
By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON(Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ducked a major ruling on whether Amtrak, the government-owned passenger rail company, wields too much clout in setting regulations that private freight carriers also must follow. The court, on a 9-0 vote, threw out a lower court ruling against the government by finding that Amtrak is a government entity, not a private company. Kennedy wrote that the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit was based on the "flawed premise" that Amtrak was a private entity. The case was brought by the Association of American Railroads, which had challenged a federal law that gives Amtrak a key role in setting standards for railroads, including for on-time performance.

By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday revived the University of Notre Dame's religious objections to the requirement for contraception coverage under President Barack Obama's healthcare law, throwing out a lower court decision in favor of the federal government. The justices asked the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reconsider its decision against the South Bend, Indiana-based Roman Catholic university in light of the June 2014 Supreme Court ruling that allowed certain privately owned corporations to seek exemptions from the provision.

By Mark Hosenball and Doina Chiacu WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States offered $5 million on Monday for help in finding an American who disappeared in Iran eight years ago and appealed to Tehran to cooperate in the search for the former FBI agent, Robert Levinson. "We ask the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to work cooperatively with us on the investigation into Robert Levinson's disappearance so we can ensure his safe return," Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement. The White House National Security Council said it was "committed to the safe return of Bob Levinson to his family." Levinson disappeared from Kish Island, an Iranian resort in the Gulf, on March 9, 2007, while on a business trip as a private investigator. Levinson traveled to Kish to meet Daoud Salahuddin, an American wanted in the murder of an Iranian diplomat in a Washington suburb in 1980.
By P.J. Huffstutter CHICAGO (Reuters) - No new research projects will begin at the U.S. government's key livestock study center until animal welfare is improved through stronger oversight and better training of standards, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said on Monday. Vilsack also ordered that USDA staff update electronic record-keeping practices at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) facility in Nebraska, to ensure all animals are being appropriately monitored and cared for. The agency announced in January it was looking into livestock conditions at the center, which seeks ways to improve profitability of the U.S. livestock industry, such as by making pork loins less fatty, after a New York Times report said staff had failed to follow basic animal welfare standards during decades of research. While "no instances of animal abuse, misuse, or mistreatment were observed," according to a draft of the report released Monday by USDA, the facility was not in compliance with Agricultural Research Service policies, in part because the center's committee charged with keeping track of animal care had fallen short of its oversight duties.
By Brendan O'Brien MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a Republican presidential hopeful, signed a bill into law on Monday that stops private sector workers from being required to join a union or pay dues as a condition of employment. The law takes effect immediately, making Wisconsin the 25th state to approve a so-called right-to-work law and marking the latest victory for Republicans targeting labor unions, following adoption of similar laws in Michigan and Indiana in 2012. "It sends a powerful message across the country and around the world," Walker said, adding that what he called freedom to work is one of the three or four things that people ask about when he is on trade and investment tours for Wisconsin. "This is one more tool that will help grow good paying, family supporting jobs here in the state of Wisconsin, particularly in the areas where you need them in manufacturing," Walker said.
By Lawrence Hurley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Monday spurned two appeals involving U.S. treatment of Guantanamo Bay detainees, barring a Syrian man from suing the United States over alleged torture and blocking the release of images purported to show evidence of a Saudi man's mistreatment. In one case, the court left in place a January 2014 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit against a Syrian former detainee, Abdul Rahim Abdul Razak al Janko. He had sought to sue the United States for damages stemming from his treatment during seven years at the U.S. facility in Cuba. Janko says he was tortured and suffered physical and psychological degradation at Guantanamo from 2002 to 2009 after being detained in Afghanistan in 2001.

Speaking of geocaching...
One of our local Jeep dealerships here in Charleston is having a Jeep Geocaching event this weekend if you happen to be in the area. Should be a good time. Check it out. Their sign-up page only lets you select a jeep back to 1988 so jeepers with an older jeep just use 1988.
This looks fun!...i'd definitely be in if i was closer :D
Looks like a great time and a good chance to get a little mod $$$
Well, spent 10 hours last Saturday looking for all 8 coins I needed and got them turned in on Monday per the rules. I didn't win squat! 75 people signed up, 23 turned all 8 coins needed to be in the final drawing and only 6 won a prize. So much for getting a hard top to replace my leaky LJ soft top.

As for what experimental theology was, Lyra had no more idea than the urchins. She had formed the notion that it was concerned with magic, with the movements of the stars and planets, with tiny particles of matter, but that was guesswork, really. Probably the stars had daemons just as humans did, and experimental theology involved talking to them.Not that Lyra spends much time worrying about it; what she likes best is "clambering over the College roofs with Roger the kitchen boy who was her particular friend, to spit plum stones on the heads of passing Scholars or to hoot like owls outside a window where a tutorial was going on, or racing through the narrow streets, or stealing apples from the market, or waging war." But Lyra's carefree existence changes forever when she and her daemon, Pantalaimon, first prevent an assassination attempt against her uncle, the powerful Lord Asriel, and then overhear a secret discussion about a mysterious entity known as Dust. Soon she and Pan are swept up in a dangerous game involving disappearing children, a beautiful woman with a golden monkey daemon, a trip to the far north, and a set of allies ranging from "gyptians" to witches to an armor-clad polar bear.
In The Golden Compass, Philip Pullman has written a masterpiece that transcends genre. It is a children's book that will appeal to adults, a fantasy novel that will charm even the most hardened realist. Best of all, the author doesn't speak down to his audience, nor does he pull his punches; there is genuine terror in this book, and heartbreak, betrayal, and loss. There is also love, loyalty, and an abiding morality that infuses the story but never overwhelms it. This is one of those rare novels that one wishes would never end. Fortunately, its sequel, The Subtle Knife, will help put off that inevitability for a while longer. --Alix Wilber --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

I live in southwest Michigan. My husband and I have been together for forty one years and have six children, four son/daughters in law, and eighteen grandchildren.
My passion for genealogy began over thirty years ago, when I began researching my and my husband's families.
Family is very dear to me, both those that are here, and those who went before me, paving the way for me to be here.
If I can help someone find their family by contributing to Find A Grave, I am happy to do it.

RE: Sarah Ann (Wolf) Rockwell and William A. Wolf
Hi, Rebecca,
No, I would never think that! I was just worried that you might be down with the flu. I am so sorry to hear all this! Paula, another contributor, was absent earlier and it turned out that she had been quite sick from a bug picked up from her grandchildren. We all know that schools are a hotbed of disease in the winter! It is a blessing that you are still well, because we have had another miserable winter, which does not seem to want to relax its grip on us. Thank you again for all you do.

Sarah Ann (Wolf) Rockwell and William A. Wolf
Hi, Rebecca,
You must be OK. Thank you for adding information to the Memorials of Sarah Ann (Wolf) Rockwell and her brother, William A. Ulrich and Esther have other children, which I have listed in Ulrich's bio, but I have not been able to find information about them beyond their listing on censuses when they were children.
I did better with the Prestons. All 8 children are linked now to their parents. No lost lambs in the Preston flock! My grandfather would say that I've "brought them all in" (as I did with him as a child, bringing the flock in from the upper meadow to the barn each night).

Thank you for the information about Helen Ballard. She was my great grandmother. I had not heard about Clare before. My grandmother was Hazel, who was sent to an orphanage along with her siblings after Helen died. Can you tell me anything more about Clare or the circumstances of Helen's death?
My grandmother kept a framed portrait of her mother in her living room. After seeing the photo you posted, I realize her potrait was cropped from a copy of the larger one that you shared. Thank you.

RE: Smith family
Hi, Rebecca,
It is so exciting to have someone to work with! The following is quoted from a 19th century document (probably written about 1880), "The Smith Family Register", passed down through the Smith family to my grandma, Nellie (Johnson) Miller, (her mother was the only living girl in the Smith family, Mary S., who married William Rowe Johnson). Grandma was raised in Fabius Twp.:
"Mr. Smith emigrated from Germany in the sailing Vessel Louisana on the 21st May 1849 and landed in N.Y. July 4, 1849. Wife Johannatte E. Kramp was born in Nassau, Germany March 20, 1836 and emigrated with my parents from Germany in the Sailing Vessel Onedia (or Onedin) March 30, 1846. Infant son died in Huron Co., Ohio, and was buried in Strengs (or Strings) Ridge Cemetery Dec. ?, 1854. John H. Smith died in Sandusky Co., Ohio, January 24, 1865. Caroline M. Smith died in Sandusky Co., Ohio Feb. 12, 1865. Christian W. Smith died in Fabius Twp., St. Joseph Co., Mich, April 1, 1883 and was buried in Morrison Cemetery, St. Joseph Co."
This document confirms that we are talking about Sandusky Co., Ohio. Notice the use of Kramp for Kramb. However, "Kramb" has always appeared to me to be the spelling of choice in our area, and it was what my grandmother used.
In my FTM program I have Charlie Smith as born in "Sandusky,Ohio, which is what I told you originally. Then I checked the 1880 US Census, Fabius, when Charlie was still living at home. This is what I found:
1880 US Census, Fabius Twp., St. Joseph Co., MI
Smith, Christian, 50, farmer, paralysis, b. in Nassaw. f.b.Nassaw. m.b.Nassaw
Smith, Johannette, 44, keeping house, b. in Nassaw, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith, Mary S., 20, helps at home, agu(as in flu?), b. in OH, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith. Jacob William, 18, works on farm, b. in OH, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith, Charles J., 14, works on farm, b. in MI, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith, John A., 12, works on farm, b. in MI, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith, Frederick H., 9, at school, b. in MI, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith, George F., 7, at school, b. in MI, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith, Edward H., 5 or 6, at school, b. in MI, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Smith, Franklin, 2, b. in MI, f.b.Nassaw, m.b.Nassaw
Charlie's parents think he was born in Michigan!, so I sent another correction to you - and then I found the two censuses for Charlie which you have quoted. He says he was born in Ohio, which is what I had originally! So, I was going to email you back this evening to just suggest that you omit the information altogether. It is in conflict!
The spelling should be "Nassau", not Nassaw", as it is in the census above. That is how it is spelled in the quote from the "Smith Family Register", above. I asked a lady from Germany about Nassau once and she said it was a part of Germany where all the "blue bloods" lived! Well, that was not the Smith family, but perhaps it did take a certain amount of "get up and go" to emigrate in the first place!

Propagating Grape Vines
Is it possible to propagate a vine from store bought seedless grapes? The vine is quite green still and I've put it in water for now.
I would think there should be leaves, but the cluster is actually the flower/fruit connected by a short stem with no leaves. This could be tricky. I have one in the fridge, and I see no buds that could turn into roots or shoots on mine.
I can't imagine that it would work, but grapevines are easy to propagate, so maybe it will! Give it a try!! Let us know how it works out!
Never heard of it, but you have nothing to lose. Let us know how it works out.
If you don't have access to any grape vines to take cuttings, bare root grape vines are usually inexpensive and grow very quickly.
Another option is to find your local gardening club and someone there is sure to have a grapevine and will be happy to let you have some cuttings.
Pay attention to variety because grapes are very specific about the climate they require to set sweet fruit.
Fortunately, there seem to be grapes available for every climate. I wonder, though, if you are in the UK if the grapes in the supermarket might be from someplace warmer like Spain or France. The variety might not be adaptable to your growing conditions.
Agree fruitnut. I went out to the vineyard, and pinched off 4 baby clusters (just forming) because I don't want them on the vines, but I checked them closely! Having rooted many vines, their little stem is not something that could root! For roots to form, there needs to be buds, leaf scars, something!!
I've rooted green softwood cuttings, and dormant cuttings. Both are easy, but this rooting a cluster thing is not something, either you or I, think will work.
Still, I'm a bit of an optimist and somebody that tries to push the envelope, so I'm cheering that this thing works! What can it hurt to give it a try?
One thing I found, (off topic now), trying to root basil in water is that basil is cake to root in water, but... just sticking those stems in water preserves them for 2-5 days much better than if you stick them in the fridge. They go black immediately! But the water keeps them fresh for nightly use!
I know, I diverged! LOL!
Good luck rooting that cluster!!

"Reads like a text for $5 words and coloquialisms"
The style of writing is extremely annoying. It's hard enough to follow an audiobook that is full of statistics and dates, followed by names and positions; but Stockman makes it even more difficult by showcasing his capacious and abstruse vocabulary (if those don't ring a bell for you...then this book probably isn't for you). He frequently uses rarely used and technical language followed by something akin to a pop-culture reference. It causes the listener to have to rewind and re-listen to portions again and again. In addition, I got tired of hearing the constant hyperbole in virtually every chapter. I realize that costly mistakes were made by men in power in the past, but not every mistake can be a "monumental blunder of epic proportions". While I did find much of the information useful, and I was thankful for the thorough explanation of the topics discussed, I would probably have preferred a book with less discussion about the Great Depression in favor of a book that focused on more recent history. 30+ hours is a very long book. The narrator does an excellent job in my opinion, but the content is just not at the same level.
"Fantastic read! Great lessons for entrepreneurs!"
A fantastic read and definitely thought provoking. A bit different than the recent entrepreneurial books I've read recently which focus on individuals. Start-up Nation is all about the nation of Israel and how they have managed to become the go-to country for start-ups and entrepreneurs. Probably the biggest take-a-way for me was that the culture of the Israelis is such that they don't ever sit comfortable in the status-quo, they are constantly asking questions like "how can this be improved?" or "why not do it differently?". I also couldn't help but read the book and come away with a huge appreciation for what the Israelis have accomplished in the last 50 years...truly remarkable. For would-be entrepreneurs this book will give you a good idea of the fertile soil for successful start-ups and new business ideas. If you are timid, think it's all been done before, sit comfortably under hierarchical leadership structures, and lack a competitive spirit, this book suggests that you will struggle to compete in business with the leaders coming out of Israel.
