New Zealand all-rounder Nathan McCullum produced a barely believable last-over onslaught to snatch a four-wicket win in a severely rain-affected second one-day international against Sri Lanka at Hambantota.
Needing 18 from the final four balls, McCullum blasted spinner Rangana Herath for three sixes to steal a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
Unbeaten half-centuries from Kumar Sangakkara and Tillakaratne Dilshan had helped Sri Lanka to 138 for one from their reduced allocation of 23 overs, following a mid-innings five-hour delay, before the Duckworth/Lewis Method increased the target by another 60 runs to 198.
New Zealand got within touching distance thanks to Tom Latham's career-best 86 from 68 balls, but all seemed lost when he fell in the same Nuwan Kulasekara over as Luke Ronchi, who hit 49.
But McCullum ensured a match, in which the falling rain had taken centre stage for the majority, finally lit up as he finished it six-four-six-six – the final maximum from a Herath full-toss coming when just one was needed.
After the opening match was washed out it appeared the weather may have the final say again when the players were forced off on safety grounds due to nearby lightning.
At that stage Sangakkara and Dilshan had both reached their fifties and Sri Lanka were poised at 117 for one from 20.4 overs.
The rain set in soon after play stopped and when it did finally relent, Sri Lanka were left with just 14 more balls to face.
They were able to add another 21 runs in that time but, just as importantly, did not lose a wicket.
Kulasekara, who claimed 4-34, made sure the tourists were in immediate trouble as he located the outside edges of Anton Devcich and Rob Nicol.
Grant Elliot and Colin Munro also fell cheaply, before Latham and Ronchi began the unlikely recovery mission in a 93-run stand.
Kulasekara returned to the attack for the 21st over and it appeared a decisive move, only for McCullum's late heroics to prove decisive.

I rushed the kids through the dinner and bath routine eager to get them to bed. Tomorrow was another Disney World day.

The park is set out in to different sections: there's a Dr Seuss part, a Marvel comics area, Jurassic Park place, loads of different areas to explore. Not everywhere had rollercoasters; some were like the 3D/4D attractions of Monday and there was a maze taking you through Poeidon's lair with an actor tour guide that ...

A "New" Bathroom in the Small Space
We had a bunch of company stay with us a few weeks ago. Annually we house pastors from around the country at our home to stay while they attend a local conference. This year we had 9 pastors stay with us. We even borrowed another RV/motorhome from my sister in law and housed some more of them so they'd be comfortable. We kept them all over the house and outside in the motorhomes. We want them to be comfortable. We had another visitor stay overnight with us right after they left, too. It was a blessing to have the motorhome as a guest house for each visitor. My goal has been to make it feel less like an RV and more like a small cottage. So, I showed you the little kitchen update I did last week and today I'm showing you another new small space update - the bathroom!

Tiling the Kitchen - an RV update
If you haven't figured it out by now, I love a good project. Our "new to us" RV has been a lot of fun for me and it's brought up a lot of ways for me to really get creative. Why in the world would I take a perfectly nice looking RV and make all these changes? Well, we are using our RV for more than just our vacations - it's become our guest house now, too. So, the first thing I worked on was the kitchen!
Here is what the kitchen looked like when we bought the RV just a couple of months ago. It's perfectly nice and simple. There isn't anything wrong with it - I just don't care for the splotchy "sponge paint" wallpaper and border wallpaper look. And, here is what it looks like now.

Disguising a Big, Ugly Object in Our Yard - the RV Journey
While I'm thrilled we bought a "new to us" RV motorhome a couple of months ago, it's easy to get tired of looking at this ginormous beast that's sitting in our backyard and realize that it's just ugly! I'm planning lots of DIY on the INSIDE of the motorhome, but first I wanted to do a bit of camouflaging of the beast on the outside. What do I mean?

Organized Creative Corner for Just $15!!
This post is by my assistant, Tiffany. Enjoy!
When I want something beautiful to hang on my walls, need someone to take family photos or want help organizing a lovely party I am so thankful to live in a house full of "creatives." Often times, however, this creativity comes with a bit of a mess.The random art supplies that my family collects and uses on a regular basis can quickly take over the house if I am not diligent to corral all of it. In this post I will show you how I was recently able to make a tiny artist studio space in our home.

My Home Office Organizing
If spending up to 6+ hours a day in a home office doesn't sound fun, I can say that having it look pretty and being organized makes a HUGE difference in that time I spend. Granted, I DO spend a lot of time doing projects around my house - which is mostly what I blog about - so I'm not sitting all day there. But, for the many, many hours I AM - it's so nice to look at a beautiful view!

Fashion Advice from an Organizing Blogger
One of my favorite hobbies, other than organizing is decorating, is fashion. Well, honestly, I haven't actually READ a fashion magazine in years {I can't stand all the yuck in there} but I've turned to my practical and modest "searches" on Pinterest time and time again to find cute and modest and fashionable outfits for this {almost} 44 year old girl! So, I'm sharing my "Fashion 101" through an organizer's eyes! I'll show you my favorite brands and where I get them for the best prices, too, and how I can keep my closet in shape, too! {This is NOT a sponsored post, just sharing my love of shopping and clothing}.

A. i.kinpston Economics Columnist "In Place of Strife" will pa rJwn m !hc anr.ais o'. British politics as the prelude to the social contract. But it's better known as "The Battle of Downing the title of Peter Jenkins' book about it It is a white paper, which preparec! uiuier the watchful and approving eye of Prime Minister Wilson and optimistically presented to parliament in January. 1969. by Mrs. Barbara Castle, then secretary of employment and productivity. Strike PnKnnrd It was to be her master con- tribution to Britain's economic rebirth. It would reform the turbulent, strike- poisoned relationship between British management and British labor. It would make socialism her brand of socialism work. But alas! Unlike most white papers, it never reached a vote in the house of commons. The British labor leaders made clear to Wilson that govern- ment was his business but running labor unions was theirs. That ripped the Labour party down the middle. A memorable exchange took place. Victor Feather, then general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, arranged a meeting at Chequers, Wilson's country residence. He hoped a quiet discussion would end in compromise and harmony. But no! Both Jack Jones, head of the Transport General Workers Union, Bri- tain's largest, and Hugh Scanlon, head of the Amal- gamated Union of Engineering Workers, the second largest, were adamant. They would not accept legislation with penal clauses. Wilson too was adamant. He'd not accept vague promises that labor would put its own house in order. At one point Scanlon said: "Prime Minister, we don't want you to become another Ramsay MacDonald." A harsh dig. MacDonald had been a coalition prime minister, who had to compromise with the Tories to stay in office. Was Wilson yielding to Tory taunts about the destructive strikes of unions? No Dobcek Wilson retorted: "I have no intention of becoming another Ramsay MacDonald. Nor do I intend to be another Dubcek. Get your tanks off my lawn, A counter dig! Scanlon had once been a member of the Communist party. And Dub- cek, of course, was the Com- munist party leader whose "Czechoslovakian spring" prompted Brezhnev to send in troops to impose Soviet dis- cipline. In the end, Scanlon won the figure-of-speech contest. Wil- son was beaten by his own party. So he scrapped the legislation. Some of the ideas in "In Place of Strife" were American imports from the Taft-Hartley Act. It called for a cooling-off period before strikes and strike votes. But in totality, it was a pro-labor bill. Numerous benefits to unions were included, including ac- cess to information from employers. But the union leaders would have no govern- ment interference in any way with their vested right the right to strike. Yet strikes are an economic indulgence an archaic method of settling differences between management and labor. And, in Great Britain a nation which consumes more than it produces they've become an over-indulgence. So much so that they're referred to as the British disease. Consequences Magnified True, the percentage of unofficial and usually in breach of agreed procedure Although it is often soon over, it comes with little warning and (ho disruptive effect is serious It is commonest in a small number of industries such as motor assembly and components, the docks and .shipbuilding This type of strike can cause far-reaching dislocations of work and at times takes place in complete disregard of its consequences the community." In contrast, strikes in the I'.S. tend to be predictable and, don't laugh! orderly and ritualistic. They usually occur at the termination uf a contract. Before the shutdown, plants operate overtime and inventories are built up. Extra production has taken place. Then workers, their tank ac- counts thickened with time- and-a-half pay, take a holiday. Such strikes have to last a long time before the work force or public suffer. Additionally, most America contracts are for two and thre years. British agreements ar only for one year and have n legal force. They're not bine ing in the sense that courts ca impose financial penalties fti breaches of contract. Haphazard Discipline Finally, union discipline i Great Britain is haphazard The independence of the sho] steward the electei representative of groups o workers has given rise to th expression: "The power lies 01 the shop floor." When there i a dispute Did the forema insult a worker? Is the asseni bly line moving too fast? Hav work procedures been changed? a shop steward, 01 his own, might call for a striki vote. Then, bingo, an entin plant can be shut down! In the U.S. establishei procedures for handling shop floor grievances with union representatives going up line from foreman to super visor to plant superintenden and finally to an impartia umpire turn off the strib valve. Such procedures are still rudimentary in Great Bri tain. Shop-floor power also enters into bargaining. Contracts wil often be worked out between national unions and employers associations. But then, the agreement has to be fitted to the plant involved. This nego tiation is done by shop stewards. It's a perfect setup for trouble. Naturally, each shop stewarc wants to make the best bar- gain. That's how he wins the loyalty of workers and rises to power within his union. The case of Alan Thornett, known as "the serves as an example. He became the shop steward of 150 lorry drivers in the Transport Genera Workers Union (TGWU) at the Cowley assembly plant of Bri- tish Leyland Motor Corp., out- side Oxford. Then he became deputy senior shop steward, a position of influence among shop stewards. The Cowley plant became a replica of the British economy in miniature: Stop and go! Ac- cording to British Leyland Thornett encouraged rather than discouraged strikes, anc it withdrew its recognition ol him as a shop steward. His constituents, the lorry drivers, struck, idling the plant's workers. "Thornett Confronted by another sue cession of payless days, the wives of workers picketed with placards: "Thornett "Don't Strike. "Moderates In, Militants A modern Lysistrata urged the denial of sex to hus- bands. "It is always wives and families who suffer during these massive stoppages. The withdrawal of conjugal rights is one of the few weapons available to womenfolk." Thornett is a left winger. In a man-days lost due to strikes is group, he tends to keep in I he less than in the U.S. But the background. That's why he's called "Ihe mole." But when il comes to business union business he's all activity. He's an effective speaker and a tough bargainer. He has a character of British strikes magnifies the economic con- sequences. "In Place of Strife" went into this: "The typical British strike is EVERY PRESCRIPTION IS CAREFULLY FILED IN YOUR FAMILY PRESCRIPTION RECORD Why?

Memorial Day on the Fly
Another three-day weekend and you're left without plans (and quite possibly, money, too). What to do? Where to go? How to do it? Lucky for you, the Bay Area is hardly void of cheap-and-easy thrills. Here are some ideas simple enough to plan with a moment's notice.
Surf lessons at Bolinas Beach. Learn to ride the waves at one of the Bay Area's more popular--not to mention, taxing--surf spots. Lessons and classes are a dime a dozen at outfitters like 2 Mile Surf Shop. You might even spot some of us 7x7 staffers hanging out on land having a barbeque, too!
Wine and Dine in Paso Robles
In Northern California, Sonoma and Napa Counties get all the buzz. But what about their southern little sister, Paso Robles, which has often been considered the next wine country destination by oenophiles from far and wide? Even if you're not already heading that direction for this weekend's 27th annual Paso Robles Wine Festival, may we suggest you add this pleasant region to your list of summer travels? (Just be sure, you pronounce it right: That's PAS-oh ROH-buls to you.) Here's how we recommend passing the time in Paso.
Bay to Breakers: What to Wear
Truth: Bay to Breakers is more about the theatrics than the race itself. When it comes to deciding what to don this Sunday morning, the thought process can be downright stressful. And let's be honest, Sarah Palin costumes were so Halloween 2008. In case you've yet to come up with a quirky idea of your own (hint: the more flamboyant, the better), here are a few costume suggestions we compiled with a little help from our friends.
Mystical Creatures
SF is the New Cancun
Notice a sudden surge in out-of-towners dropping cash in Union Square on your lunch breaks? It's not your imagination, nor is it a spontaneous SF obsession sweeping the nation. It's the good ol' swine flu (a.k.a. the H1N1, a.k.a. That Other Name No One Uses) at it again! A fleet of cruise ships has docked at our fair piers, rerouting South of the border-bound travelers to a decidedly less exotic climate. Health authorities put the brakes on all nonessential travel to Mexico, fearing any more swine-related disease be transmitted back to the states.
Bad news for eager, pale vacationers; good news for the city's economy.
Passport to Sonoma
Just ask any Napa or Sonoma resident about the other, and the competition is evident: You'll get an upturned nose and a "we're better than them" response. But this coming weekend, Sonoma takes center stage with its annual wine extravaganza. In honor of Passport to Sonoma Valley, we've compiled a list of some of our favorite Sonoma pastimes.
Last Minute Mother's Day Ideas
If Mother's Day crept up on you like it did us, you're not totally out of luck. Rather, take advantage of the research we've done for you (or um, ourselves) and treat the woman you love to the creme de la creme in Mother's Day gifts. But hurry up while the offers still stand!
Have a Bonnie Ol' Weekend in Woodland
Apparently, you needn't travel the 5,000 miles over the Atlantic to get a taste of the Scottish Highlands; rather, hop in your car and drive the hour and a half to Sacramento 'burb Woodland this weekend instead.
Get Prepped for The Great Urban Race (No, Not B2B)
Do you dream of being a contestant on The Amazing Race? Do your friends applaud you for your panache at Jeopardy and speed in completing particularly challenging Sudoku puzzles? Then this one's for you.
The Best San Francisco Parks
Sure, there are the usual suspects -- you know, the Dolores' and the Crissy Fields. But there are also some less frequented places to lay down a blanket. Check out California Home + Design's Best San Francisco Parks roundup and expand your lounging and picnic-ing horizons.
"Best Of" Question #4: Where's Your Favorite Place to Tune Up Your Bike?
Every June, we put out our "Best Of" issue. This year, we want you to get involved. So from now until the end of April, we'll be posting a series of questions about San Francisco. Jump into the fray, and your writeup could be featured in the issue.
Got a flat? Need a tuneup? New handlebars? Where do you turn?

exterior steel door: peeling latex
Hoping for some help... steel front door was painted twice: once ~10y ago and once ~5y ago. Most recent job was poor, resulting in bubbling, etc. Finally got around to trying to fix, and as I scraped away the bubbling some of the paint layers peeled away, leaving jagged lines of peeled paint. So I started scraping more (eeek!). Do I now have to scrape the entire door? Tried an orbital sander with 40 grit, it doesn't seem to take off much. Any chemistry I can use, or maybe heat from a hairdryer? Any advice much appreciated.
Paint stripper! Once it's clean, be sure it's sanded smooth, then wash it with Dirtex, rinse and dry.
Since you're having adhesion problems, prime it with SW All Surface Primer. Then apply two coats of Acrylic Enamel.
Adhere to drying and topcoat times for primer and enamels.

Scenic Highway 30A's most visually striking community features architecture influenced by the brilliant-white, traditional homes of Bermuda. When complete, the 158-acre resort town of Alys Beach will be twice the size of nearby Seaside and will consist of some 900 custom villas and courtyard homes.
As you enter Alys Beach, the first architectural features you'll notice are the white "butteries" that stand like centurions at the property's edge. Before refrigeration (and even before ice was manufactured), homeowners in Bermuda's hot island climate often maintained butteries, which were unattached minaret-shaped structures designed to make, store and preserve butter, milk and other perishable foods.
But the four white butteries perched along 30A in Alys Beach preserve something quite different: Sixteen unique mosaic murals depicting scenes of the region's history and heritage. Concetta Rothwell Morales, a highly talented and well-recognized mosaic muralist, created the murals. The butteries are open to the public.
The community also features a 21-acre nature preserve, an amphitheater, the Alys Shoppe, neighborhood parks, tennis courts, and Caliza—one of the most elegant swimming pools and restaurants in the world.
"Caliza is the stuff that dreams are made of," wrote The Miami Herald.
And indeed, Caliza's dramatic design (by town architects and Alys Beach residents Erik Vogt and Marieanne Khoury-Vogt) features a 50 x100-foot saltwater pool, a 60-foot-long family pool, a 75-foot-long lap pool, secluded outdoor living areas flanked with tropical palms and gardens, and alfresco architecture punctuated by arched colonnades, private cabanas and bubbling fountains. In its poolside restaurant, the Chef Kevin Korman creates a fresh coastal menu that is approachable and familiar, yet new and exciting.
Directly on 30A, Fonville Press is a friendly gathering place that offers breakfast, coffee, magazines, newspapers, and unique books. It's a magical spot to sip coffee or wine—inside, or in the courtyard while the kids play on nearby Fonville Hill. There's also the wildly popular restaurant, George's at Alys Beach, where one can easily "behave or misbehave," depending on one's dietary mindset.

Recent Anahola reviews
"We love this cottage in Anahola; returning for the 3rd year. The setting is peaceful, serene, and beautiful - perfect place to unwind and relax. The native Hawaiian farm feels natural, rustic, and inviting. The cottage is warm and homey- with all the amenities you need to be comfortable. We cooked/bbq most all our meals. Wonderful ocean view and breezes. Spectacular sunrises from your bed. We loved just sitting out on lawn chairs and loungers to read with a cool drink. So quiet and peaceful. Outstanding hospitality with all the special touches you do not find in other rentals. This has become our place on Kauai!"Guest: Ruth M. Date of Stay: December 2014 Review Submitted: December 11, 2014View listing
"This was my second visit to Kauai; the first for the remainder of my family. The house was perfect for our needs. It is ideally located, clean, well equipped and very functional. The kitchen was perfect for our needs. The grounds were well kept and Steve the caretaker was available if needed. There were no problems and we were able to enjoy our stay free of worry and able to explore the entire island. My entire family enjoyed themselves very much. Our plan is to return and explore all of the things we were not able to see due to lack of time."Guest: Mike Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 6, 2015View listing
"My wife and I arrived for a one week stay. It's not fancy but has everything you could want and more. Sunrises, whale watching, snorkeling, beach walks and a very nice restaurant owned by locals just 1.5 miles away. We often got our dinners to go and dined back at the house. There is also a general store, post office and fabulous burger place very nearby. Conveniently located for exploring the entire island. We HIGHLY recommend this house. We hope we can return again!"Guest: Brian L. Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 5, 2015View listing
"Ginger Beach House is truly spectacular! From the moment you arrive, you know you are at a beautifully unique location in Kauai, in a home that will make your stay a special experience. The beach and ocean views drew us to the main room and huge deck to relax and read, sun, and take in the sounds and sights of the surf! Watching the sunrise from the beach was a really special part of the day! The home is so comfortable and beautifully furnished - each bedroom and bathroom are gorgeous, and the chef's kitchen is equipped with everything you need to create meals to enjoy on the beautiful dining table or outdoor dining area, while viewing the beach. Beth and Joe's greeting and advice on island adventures were a great, personal touch! They have created a home and atomosphere that gave us an awesome Kauai experience! Thank you!! We can't wait to return to paradise!"Guest: Amy Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 2, 2015View listing

Originally written on Fox Sports San Diego | Last updated 11/18/14
Jake Seau and his father, the late Junior Seau, had a lot in common. Same smile, athleticism, personality, taste in music, comedic nature and work ethic. The biggest difference between the 6-foot-2, 190-pound high school junior and his father is the sport they chose to play. While football ran in Junior's blood, it simply was not Jakes thing. He has an older brother, Tyler, who plays football at Delta State and two cousins, Micah and Ian Seau, who played at San Diego State and Kansas State, respectively. But instead of following in the family footsteps, 17-year-old Jake is making a name for himself as he marches to the beat of his own drum...in the lacrosse world. I love the game of football but I never felt like it was my type of sport," he said. I loved it and was committed to it but my life never revolved around it. For me lacrosse is what I do. Every day I practice. Jake grew up in San Diego playing soccer, tennis, golf, basketball, football, lacrosse and surfing. He starte...

Two lawmakers are proposing legislation that could drive a second amendment showdown in the District: They're asking Congress to approve repealing D.C.'s gun laws.
"It's the worst kind of bullying," says Del. Eleanor Holmes-Norton.
That's how she characterizes the legislation proposed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to repeal D.C.'s strict gun control laws. Norton says it would put residents, dignitaries and visitors at risk.
Two high-profile Republicans in Congress, Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), have introduced legislation that would undo the District's gun laws, which are among the strictest in the nation.
If embraced by Republican leaders of the House and Senate, the legislation could force a Second Amendment showdown with President Obama just two years after he failed an attempt to win stricter gun control laws nationwide.
Senator Marco Rubio of Florida introduced a new bill that would ban local elected officials from enacting gun-control laws.
The bill introduced Thursday by Rubio would essentially leave the District of Columbia governed only by federal gun laws.
Rubio says in a statement that District leaders have infringed on residents' second-amendment rights and left them "vulnerable to criminals." The city requires that handguns be registered, and residents must show a reason for obtaining a concealed-carry permit.
A likely Republican presidential candidate has introduced a bill that would ban local elected officials in the nation's capital from enacting gun-control laws.
The bill introduced Thursday by Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida would essentially leave the District of Columbia governed only by federal gun laws.
Rubio says in a statement that District leaders have infringed on residents' second-amendment rights and left them "vulnerable to criminals." The city requires that handguns be registered, and residents must show a reason for obtaining a concealed-carry permit.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio introduced a bill Thursday aimed at loosening the District of Columbia's gun laws.
The Republican lawmakers' bill, titled the Second Amendment Enforcement Act of 2015, states that D.C. "remains one of the most dangerous large cities in the United States." The text states that D.C.'s regulations prevent citizens from protecting themselves against violent crime.
Because he's probably running for President and he can, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fl.) is messing with D.C.'s gun laws. Under a bill he introduced with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), all of D.C.'s gun laws would not only be undone, but local legislators would be restricted in their ability to pass any future laws restricting gun ownership.
The D.C. Council won't have to provide staffers' names to a congressional committee—for now. After a fierce internal dispute over whether to name the Council staffers who worked on a pot legalization hearing, the Council has gotten away with only naming councilmembers. Those names are in a letter that could potentially double as a list of people who broke federal appropriations laws.
Sen. Marco Rubio, a likely Republican presidential contender in 2016, introduced legislation Thursday to roll back restrictive gun laws in the District of Columbia, arguing that congressional intervention is needed to "correct" laws that violate the Second Amendment.
Courting the guns right lobby, Mr. Rubio attacked the city's long history of upholding prohibitions that have prevented law-abiding citizens from owning and carrying firearms.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) is cheering new Republican legislation that would make it easier for gun owners to obtain firearms in the nation's capitol.
The Second Amendment Enforcement Act introduced Thursday by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) would roll back many of the hurdles to gun ownership in Washington, D.C., and push back against some of the city's strict firearms laws.

Horses, Rodeo and GenealogyWhat do these three have in common? I suppose the butterfly in China affects a tree falling in the Redwoods of California theory might come into play, but I propose that it is Memories vs Stories. This is the question that I've been pondering since last week's RootsTech 2015.
My last blog questioned whether anyone would read my blog, much less care about what I said. The three day principle has blossomed in my life. What is the three day principle? It takes about three days to integrate a new concept into a person's being. The scriptures have three day events such as the period between Jesus' death and resurrection and Alma the Younger's three day unconsciousness and conversion.
My mind is ready now to recognize the lessons that I learned during RootsTech. I now know the significance of stories vs memories. Here is an example of memories and my next blog will be about the power of Stories.
HorsesChina said goodbye to the Year of the Horse on Wednesday, and on the first day of the new lunar year revelers welcomed the Year of the Sheep or Ram, an auspicious year. (Oh, yes, by the way, I'm an Aries, a ram)
Sometimes just recording a memory can be like saying goodbye to the horse year. Perhaps in the next cycle covering twelve years, horses may become more significant to a person, but now is the time to remember, see lessons learned, record and move on.
Sometimes a memory becomes a story that only you can tell and it benefits others. That's what a blogger hopes for. That is why I blog. RootsTech taught me that others feel exactly the same way.
RodeoTucson's annual tradition of Rodeo begins this Saturday. When I first moved here in 2001 it was unnerving to find schools in session on President's day and out of school for the Thursday of the annual Rodeo Parade and day after. Two days off school for a rodeo, go figure.
Headline in the Arizona Daily Star in 1925 reads:
"Cowboys are asked not to shoot up the town"
Tucson in 1925 was a frontier town:
The first Tucson Rodeo was held in the middle of Prohibition. With so many visitors expected, decisions were made to clean up the town. Arizona State Prohibition Director Frank Pool led a force of federal officials to town two weeks prior to the rodeo. The Arizona Daily Star reported that 25 stills were captured and an estimated 3000 gallons of moonshine destroyed.
· Taxi fare from downtown to the rodeo grounds was set at 25 cents for a party of four.
· Prizes at the 1925 Rodeo Parade included a 750-lb. block of ice, 100 lbs. of potatoes and a "Big Cactus" ham.
Leighton Kramer conceived the idea of La Fiesta de los Vaqueros to draw visitors to Tucson during the mid-winter season. Kramer was a winter visitor himself, and president of the Arizona Polo Association.
In 1925, Kramer and the Arizona Polo Association created La Fiesta de los Vaqueros and the Tucson Mid-Winter Rodeo and Parade. The event would give visitors a taste of cowboy range work and glamorize Tucson's Wild West notoriety.
From Kramer's official welcome in the 1925 event program:
Not so many years ago the first pony express came to a sudden halt on our Main Street, carrying civilization southwestward. Not so many years ago the first railroad whistled in. Gone is the past. The hitching post has been removed. A new civilization has put steel and concrete and built a mighty city where only yesterday horses grazed within the memory of living man. The Pioneer Spirit lives. Heroic memories never die. The Old Frontier will be revived-at Tucson, February 21, 22 and 23, 1925—as a community revival. We are proud to offer this attraction to the people of American as a glorious reminder of yesterday.
Tourists, cowboys and cowgirls, local society members and Navajo Indians enjoyed a rip-roaring time at the Rodeo Dance at the Santa Rita Hotel the night before the first Tucson Rodeo. Wayne Hamilton and the 10th Calvary Band provided music. The next morning, thousands of spectators crowded the Downtown parade route and 300 people participated in the first Rodeo Parade.
One of the most striking costumes in the parade was worn by Lone Wolf, a Native American artist, in full regalia and flowing headdress, that of a Blackfoot Indian Chieftain. Local ranches were represented on horseback, mounted polo players wore their white helmets and bright silk shirts, and the 10th Cavalry and 25th Infantry bands from Fort Huachuca provided rousing music. The city leaders and the University of Arizona declared February 21, 1925 a city holiday.
Memories of Horses
My memories of horses are varied and certainly not story material. The earliest memory I have of horses is about a house mom rented after her divorce when I was in fourth grade. Apparently she got a good deal (really cheap rent) because the owner kept his horses on the back half of the lot on Cooley Place in Pasadena. Mr. Watts was a Mounted Sheriff and they rode in the Rose Parade every year. The horses were big and very scary to me, but not to my sister Loni.
I remember my Pomona neighbor's two girls, Donna and Carol Uebele, on all fours prancing around the yard holding a scarf to their rear ends and rearing up, tossing their heads and waving their tails. They spent hours playing "horsey," Loni often joining them. I thought they were nuts, besides it hurt my knees to run around on all fours. My friend Sandy Benjamin used to draw horses and horse heads all the time and I admired them; but she also drew models in fancy clothing and I admired them more.
I remember during marching band walking behind horses and having to step over the very large droppings of poop. Someone told the tale of a little girl furiously digging through a large pile of horse manure, and when asked why, replied "There must be a pony in here somewhere." The eternal optimist. Are you getting the picture? I too am an eternal optimist.
Horses and My Genealogy
You must be wondering about how a horse figures into my genealogy. Nine generations back William Hicks of Baltimore, Maryland (died 1710) and his wife Jane had a daughter Elizabeth. Her brothers were all mentioned in his will, but she and her older sister Rebecca (who married John Armstrong on 26 August 1714) were not. How did I find the two girls? In court records where Elizabeth in a Legal obligation gives her mother, Jane (widow of William who married Thomas Cutchin) Cutchin/Guggin, a horse.
The document is dated 30 Jan 1723 and reads: Baltimore County, Maryland. This instrument of writing doth oblige me, my heirs and assignees to make over unto Jane Guggin one bright bay mare with a star in her forehead and the first colt that this said mare brings is to be given unto William Armstrong sons to John Armstrong which said mare shall belong to the said Jane Guggin during her natural life and after death to fall unto Elizabeth Hicks with all her offspring except the forementioned colt in case the said Elizabeth Hicks should go to Virginia after her marriage and return unto this County again then the forsaid mare shall be delivered unto the said Elizabeth Hicks and her husband at once. As I witness by/my hand this thirty day of Jan 1723 Elizabeth (E) Hicks, John Harscock(Hancock?), Samuel Deson
The Big Mystery about Elizabeth Hicks
The Big Mystery about Elizabeth (born about 1699) is WHO DID SHE MARRY and WHERE DID THEY END UP LIVING?
This document gives me Elizabeth's signature too. How cool is that? But can I show you? No because it is in PDF format and this blog won't accept that. So you won't get to see it unless you go to her personal page at FamilySearch.org and look under memories for Elizabeth Hicks LD33-FSP
This of course is not a memory of mine. But it is the beginning of Elizabeth's story and my absolute delight in discovering a female ancestor and the excitement of possibly discovering who she married and who her descendants are by sharing this in my blog. Now that would be a horse of a different color, wouldn't it?
My next blog will be about a story that only I could tell and how it came about during the weekend after RootsTech 2015.

Docomo's AR Walker is a virtual tour guide in a pair of glasses
At this year's CEATEC conference in Chiba, Japan, Docomo previewed the AR Walker augmented reality application that uses a tiny display screen mounted on a pair of glasses, rather than on a mobile phone screen like Layar or other AR apps. While the AR Walker application is not by itself anything new, being able to see annotations of the world around you without having to view it through a mobile phone's camera display is. Docomo has come one step closer to the fictional augmented reality glasses that anime fans might remember from the TV series Dennou Coil, where children wore glasses to view virtual objects superimposed over the real world.

RoamEO GPS dog collar keeps track of wayward pets
If you've ever owned a recalcitrant retriever, a cat-crazy collie or an overly playful poodle, you'll know the anxiety of watching them run out of view in search of new adventures, oblivious to your shouts of anguish (and anger). A GPS-enabled collar could be handy for tracking down wayward canines and keep them out of harm's way … or the clutches of dog-nappers or an over-zealous ranger lurking in the neighborhood. The RoamEO is the latest GPS device for owners who worry about their dogs' disappearing acts or who are sick of spending valuable time searching for that 'duck-hunter' who's too dog-tired to return with the catch.

Aug 22, 2014, 9:30 AM EDT

Irish A-to-Z: Joe Schmidt
Aug 21, 2014, 3:48 PM EDT

Irish A-to-Z continues with a look at Notre Dame's starting middle linebacker.
Preseason Camp: Final video breakdown
Aug 21, 2014, 1:29 PM EDT
It's been a hectic last week inside the Notre Dame football program. Between suspensions, media day and the home-stretch of our A-to-Z series, it's time to get to some football.
Tune In: Another Strong & True airs Monday on NBCSN

Riggs ready to lead
Aug 20, 2014, 1:03 PM EDT
Of the players made available to the media yesterday, grad student Cody Riggs wasn't among them. But the cornerback stopped by UND.com's Media Day coverage, and after watching his interview with Jack Nolan it's hard not to be impressed.
Quick thoughts from Media Day
Aug 19, 2014, 9:57 PM EDT
With access to Brian Kelly, his assistants and a handful of veteran players, today's Media Day felt a little different than most. That's understandable, with the aftermath of unexpected academic suspensions still lingering over the program. With the investigation still on media lockdown, speculation has varied widely, but it's clear that Kelly is moving forward, the only thing a head coach can do.
Phillip Daniels feels confident son DaVaris will be cleared
Aug 18, 2014, 7:28 PM EDT

Aug 18, 2014, 6:07 PM EDT

Aug 17, 2014, 1:02 PM EDT

Kelly addresses academic investigation
Aug 16, 2014, 2:53 PM EDT
Life goes on for Notre Dame's football team, as the Irish practiced inside Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday morning. After practice, Brian Kelly addressed the assembled media, talking for over 20 minutes, primarily about the suspensions of DaVaris Daniels, Kendall Moore, KeiVarae Russell and Ishaq Williams and the internal investigation taking place.
With all eyes watching, a dig for truth begins at Notre Dame
Aug 15, 2014, 9:29 PM EDT
The college football world stared at Notre Dame on Friday. Some snickered as they hoped to see smoke and fire emerge from the Golden Dome.

Academic misconduct investigation underway at Notre Dame
Aug 15, 2014, 5:10 PM EDT

Ready or Not: Young Irish defenders making moves
Aug 14, 2014, 12:46 PM EDT
Heading into fall camp, surprises were expected on the defensive side of the ball. But while everybody is talking about Brian Kelly naming Everett Golson his starting quarterback, the Irish head coach's comments about his evolving defense were probably the most illuminating we've heard from Kelly in years.
Kyle McCarthy takes leave of absence from Irish
Aug 14, 2014, 11:20 AM EDT
Notre Dame announced this morning that graduate assistant Kyle McCarthy is taking a leave of absence from the football team to battle cancer. The former Irish captain is in his first season working with the Irish under Brian Kelly after retiring from the NFL.
Irish A-to-Z: Cody Riggs
Aug 13, 2014, 7:48 PM EDT
After using the graduate transfer rule to fill niche roles like situational punter, Notre Dame landed a potential difference maker in Florida graduate Cody Riggs. Irish A-to-Z takes a closer look at the diminutive cornerback.
Kelly names Golson starting quarterback
Aug 13, 2014, 1:47 PM EDT

Aug 11, 2014, 2:31 PM EDT

Counting down the Irish: The Top Five
Aug 11, 2014, 10:34 AM EDT
Our annual exercise is over and the result is a Top Five that was as close to consensus as possible. On a roster with unproven talent and unprecedented depth, part of what makes this list interesting and fun is that I put zero qualifications on the logic used to rank players. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.
Torii Hunter Jr. sidelined with a groin injury

Sophomore wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a groin tear, Brian Kelly announced after practice on Saturday.

Dog Stolen in Milwaukee
A young couple out walking their puppy were attacked by several people, and the puppy taken from them. I'm posting this anywhere I can to spread the word. Not a case of bad owners; the dog was one class away from graduating his puppy class at the Humane Society. The neighborhood is "on the fringe," so the worry now is that he was stolen for dog fighting.
I live about 10 miles from the neighborhood where he was taken . It's kind of a low class - ghetto-ish place . Probably young thugs thinking having a pittbull is a status symbol . I'm hoping this will have a good ending.
There's been dogs stolen from around here before. Once the pictures of the dogs have been published - good people go out of their way to keep their eyes open and report anything suspicious. Many dogs have been found and the thieves went to jail . I hope this is the case , there's ALOT of dog lovers here ...:)
I hope this article is posted in the Milwaukee newspapers.
There was a dog stolen in NYC the other day and the guy was caught selling it in Central Park. Don't know why someone would leave your dog tied up in front of a store you were shopping in especially NYC.
I read about that dog, a King Charles spaniel caught on tape being stolen, but I thought who leaves their dog tied to a post on a busy street?
This is so sickening! Precious little sweetheart looks like an angel! There are so many cases of dog theft around here in this god forsaken Ohio that it just makes you sick to your stomach to think about it! It just gives me one more reason to hate Ohio so much! What in the world has gotten into people...evil just pure EVIL!!!!
I hope that at least a few of the thefts are just well meaning people that see a dog tied up in the back yard and are "rescuing" them. I fear mostly people are using them for bait and they are also selling them. Recently a grown bulldog was taken from a car at a restaurant and was miraculously found after a lady bought her and then saw her lost ad on Craigslist!
I know, AG, this kinda stuff just haunts me - even tho I don't even know these people.
It happens so much more than people realize. If I ever see a dog tied up outside, even in my small town, I tend to kind of hang out until the owner comes out. Once, I was at the recycle center, and an older lady had a cute little poodle in her car, all the windows open, doors open. I told her about how many dogs get stolen, and why (often, as bait). She was shocked, had never heard of it, and thanked me profusely. How can people not know about this stuff, though? I hardly ever watch the news, and I do. In fact, while I was searching the Inet for a possible update on MacGyver, I saw many other stories about dogs being snatched - one in broad daylight off of someone's back deck on the East Side of Milwaukee. When I lived in a small town out in the country, some 15 year old kid stole his friend's boxer - just because he wanted it - and then in order to hide it from his parents, tied it to their pier, left it there in the sun with no water, where it died.
They're really going all out to find MacGyver. It was on the news, and they have a FB page - collecting donations and offering a reward - so I hope they get him back.

Earlier today, I stumbled across the "Standing Up" trailer, which you can now watch below. I absolutely love the idea and message behind this movie... I really can't wait to watch it. I also found a new poster, featuring some new pictures. You can see it here.
Some brand new headshots have been uploaded to Chandler's IMDb page. I can't believe how much he has grown... I could swear it was yesterday when I first saw him as little David in "Criminal Minds"!
I recently had the opportunity to interview Chandler Canterbury, who you will be seeing starting today in the newest movie based on a book by the best selling "Twilight" saga author, Stephanie Meyer, "The Host." Chandler is a Houston, TX native, and plays Jaime Stryder, the brother of Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) who has been taken over as a parasitic host for an alien "soul."National Teen Celebrity Examiner: Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me Chandler. I know with the movie being released tomorrow, it has to have been a really busy couple of weeks. Since we are both hometown Houtonians, what are some of your favorite places to hang out during your down time?Chandler Canterbury: Edwards theater to watch movies, the Galleria and there's a park nearby where my friends and I like to go to play football.National Teen Celebrity Examiner: Edwards is one of my favorites too, not to mention the shopping in the Galleria. What else do you like to do in your downtime?Chandler Canterbury: Of course there is school and sports, but I also like X-Box 360. Black Ops3 is one of my favorites. I also like to play the guitar and piano.National Teen Celebrity Examiner: I know that one, and I know more than one teen that has a hard time getting off the X-box too, including my own. Let's talk just a little bit about "The Host." I spoke to some teens that saw it and they loved the way the story evolved and the way the effects were like special effects on the screen, especially the wounds healing.Chandler Canterbury: Thanks so much!... Read more?
"The Host" was released in theaters today! Make sure you go watch this amazing movie to support Chandler and everyone who worked in it!
Chandler fans, you're in for a treat! Chan was on "Great Day Houston" earlier today to promote "The Host", and guess what? The interview is 10 minutes long! Be sure to watch it below.
"The Host" Movie News interviewed Chandler on the Blue Carpet of the movie premiere in Los Angeles a few days ago. I absolutely love this interview. He appears in minute 1:30.
