Speed on the US data center
We were having response issues in the UK with our site hosted on the US data center. DiscountASP recommended migrating to the EU data center. Now our Customers in the UK have improved response time and the US has not suffered. I'd like to thank the DiscountASP support team for migrating our web site, database and SSL certificate all over New Years Eve without any issues.

responsive, good & affordable
I understand and share the other posters frustration, but have worked with a number of hosting companies and discountasp has been the most dependable, done a very good job of responding to tech support requests, and provides a terrific feature set. That said, what can I do to prevent a repeat of today? Better, what can they do to prevent a repeat of today?

outages, no notification system or phone support
Lack of notification system to let client know when there is an outage. This is my busiest time of the year and feels like I am in the dark since I have no clue when they will be back on-line. Too bad that I do not have a fresh downloaded copy of my website, or I would have already transferred with other ISP like yesterday. You better think twice if you want to use discountasp for ecommerce.

There is a notification system in place. We post in outages in the Community Forum, which we did. We also posted in our offsite emergency status page at daspstatus.com and we are updating this page. Unfortunately, the latency issue is due to our upstream provider and while we are working with them, it is their engineers that need to find the origin of the issue and fix the problem.

no phone number or notification for outages
I am very nervous right now. This is our busiest time of year, we have been putting a lot of time and money in our site and now it is down. I understand this host has forums for outages like http://community.discountasp.net but they are down are very slow as well. I wish i could have received an email to a secondary address or something about what is going on. I am so nervous about losing money in this economy and to have a host they you can talk to and then their community page is down it doesnot leave you a lot of leg room. I don't know what to do. They seemed like a good host but this is a horrible week to be down when a retailer relies on the internet for their business. I wish I knew an ETA so I can tell my people. I also wanted to add but the offsite suupport page is down as well daspstatus.com. Please help with this I don't want to go to another host. I went to the communicty forum and it is very slow but it does say they are having a router problem but I am still nervous about it I can't afford to have this go own for a long time.

It is a bad time of year and bad time in our economic times to have this latency issue. We totally understand that the poster's confidence is shaken. However, our web-based business is important to us as well and we are doing all we can to resolve the issue as quickly as we can. It is a bad time for this to happen to us as well. Our community forum performance is spotty right now due to the latency. However, the daspstatus.com site is offsite has not been down as this poster claims. We are updating this site. Unfortunately, the issue has to do with our upstream provider - nothing with our hosting infrastructure - and while we are working with their network engineers, it is their engineers that need to work to fix this issue. And as such, we cannot give an ETA. Also, keep in mind that this type of event happenning is rare and not systemic. You don't see regular posts of events like this here, for example.

'Cutting edge technology', easy switch
Lots of down time... poor communications...
The system is great... when you can connect to it... I've had a server here for probably 6 months now; I was happy with the transition, I've been happy how easily it has been to get my new asp.net 3.5/etc stuff working on it, I've been somewhat happy with the database performance (don't like how I have to dig through every database in the system to find the >1< I have access to) Problem is... lots of down time... I've got an application that 'phones home' to my discountasp.net server all day/night long while the users use it, and they've been complaining of lots of issues of it losing connection to the server... It usually happens early in the morning, so I'm not able to catch it and diagnose it, but when I have caught it, I've found that I'm not only unable to reach my web site, I can't reach my sql server either... This happens at least twice a week, every week... for at least the past two months... Doing a traceroute/poll shows massive packetloss at the destination, so it's either a problem internal to discountasp.net, or a problem with their connection to the internet... As for the 'emergency status page'...... well this site is the first I heard of it... and it doesn't reflect any outage information... (I didn't see any links to any sort of outage information on the main discountasp.net site, which is also experiencing massive packetloss) Looking in the forums, I don't see any discussions about the current outtage that I've been experiencing for the past 45 minutes...

Rebuttal From Listing Owner:
We are happy that this customer believes that our sytem is great and we are cutting edge. There are two issues here. The latter mention of packetloss is due to a router issue we are experiencing. When we detected it - we posted about the issue in our Forum and our offsite status site daspstatus.com. Our system admins are working on the issue and have been since the monitoring system notified them. Now the first issue about their app experiencing uptime issues - well that is difficult to say what is going on from this post. It's not a systemic issue that other customers are experiencing as you would see tons of posts here and elsewhere about similar issues. For isolated issues like this, the problem could be something to do with the application itself, the packetloss could be due to outside internet connectivity issues, it could be our upstream providers, ...etc. But to really drill down on it - the customer should contact our support.

Phone support, one strange outage
Hello, DiscountASP has made my life more relaxed. S9ince I've put my software on their infrastructure, everything simply keeps on working, just like I was used to long time ago on linux. The only problem I had was with an outage of the SQL server in the uk. It seemed that the problem took too much time to solve because of a lack of monitoring... The server was down, I put in a ticket and the techie said he could connect without problem. Some time later, when the problem was recognised, it was solved. Afterwards no more problems! DASP is wordt a big recommendation!

We are pleased that this customer is happy with our asp.net hosting service. I am not sure of the mentioned sql outage in the UK. I do know that we had a maintanance outage in December. Also, it sounds like the sql issue was an isolated issue as our tech support could not replicate it and there was no system-wide outage.

Usually no problems....
but a couple times over the last day or two OUTAGES
Usually no problems and quick / good customer support. However yesterday I experienced an outage that lasted 10 - 15 minutes. Today it has been out for almost 5 hours so far. Haven't been able to get anything done all day. Devastating to my production schedule. However, they do update their offsite status page every couple of hours. www.daspstatus.com

We are happy that this poster acknowledged that the issues they are experiencing are not systemic. I am not sure what outage the poster is referring to about yesterday. We did have an emergancy maintenance outage for our european datacenter yesterday. Perhaps, this is what is being referred to. As for today's latency issue, our team is working on it but unfortunately, the issue resides outside of our network and with one of our upstream providers and we are waiting on their network engineers to fix this issue. WE continue to update our offsite emergency status page at daspstatus.com

Service, Tech support, no down time.
We have few accounts for few years. These guys always keep up to date with system and e-mail upgrades while not reducing level of quality and quick support. I have been through not a few hosts, and these are the best so far. The only thing they need to improve is the emergency backup process. Sometimes sites require backup due to a bug or error on their site. Discountasp has backup scheduled few times a day, that's really great. However the process takes some bureaucracy... Discountasp please read: You can create a form in the control panel, where customer can fill in request and time of preferred backup per support e-mail, confirming the charge within the form. Currently it takes too much time to transfer from support to billing and back to support... For some sites, few hours down can value in thousands of dollars. Although rare to most sites, and although the need for backup is solely due to customer site error or bug and not Discountasp fault, this scenario can be frustrating if it takes too long.

Good price, Convenient site/Control panel. Latest MS tech. Dependable service
Nothing major. Phone support would be nice, but you get what you pay for.
I used it for my personal domain, for couple of clients and now for my new startup. All is shared hosted. I like the price, and because of it can live without phone support. I would rather them lower prices further then provide phone support, really. I have opend couple of tickets over time, and was generally satisfied. Was long ago, so sorry I don't recall specifics. I use FTP all the time and it is fast enough. I do stuff in control panel, define web applications etc, and it is responsive and logicaly organized. One thing that I value is quick adaptation of new Microsoft technologies. I am on the bleading edge and need the latest stuff. Another strength is site layout. I tried one even cheaper hosting at a company where I regsitered my domain and was very disappointed by their web site organization. I could hardly find the way to control panel, through pile of advertising and different other services. DASP focuses on hosting and is modest in their attempts to cross and up sell. I experienced outages, like everyone else commented, but with Amazon down twice this year what you can expect? Nobody is 99999. DASP was IMHO well within the reasonably dependent service definition. Suffice to say my application breaks so much more then the hoster, that it will take me time when DASP becomes the reliability bottleneck. Overall I do recommend it. It took me time to sift through enough hosters to find them. Hope I help you save time :)

Thanks so much for the kudos. While we do what we can to avoid outages, they can happen - and even to the most huge companies like Amazon. We do maintain an outages section in our community forum and we also have an offsite website at daspstatus.com for communications on any global outages.

Starkville Daily News
Bailey Wofford carries a big burden with the bat being the only senior for the Starkville Academy girls softball team.
Hitting third in the lineup, Wofford is counted upon heavily to drive in runs for the Lady Volunteers.
That mission was accomplished Tuesday afternoon.
Wofford had four hits with three of them triples, drove in four runs and scored three times as Starkville Academy defeated the Hebron Christian School Lady Eagles 9-4 on the home field.
"How about that hitting from Bailey Wofford?" SA head coach Jessica Dickens said. "Her stick has been coming through for us."
Wofford knew she did well in the game, but wasn't satisfied. It was almost as if she was disappointed she didn't get four triples.
"I know that I did better in this game than I had been in the past games, but I can still do a little better in helping each other out and getting a few more RBIs," Wofford said.
After Hebron jumped out to a 2-0 lead with an RBI single by Magen Tapley and an RBI groundout by Alaina Hill in the first inning, the Lady Vols responded to take a 3-2 advantage in their half of the frame.
Mary Austin Barber singled to begin the inning, then Megan Picard walked. Wofford got the first of her triples to score Barber and Picard. Wofford scored on a wild pitch.
In the second inning, Starkville Academy produced four more runs to push the margin to 7-2. Emily Gregory walked and eventually scored on a wild pitch, then the same sequence occurred as the first inning as Barber singled, Picard walked and Wofford drove them home with a triple.
"With Mary Austin and Megan getting on base, I could knock them in," Wofford said.
Wofford capped the second-inning scoring by crossing the plate on a single by Megan Jones.
After the visiting Lady Eagles scratched out one run each in the third and fourth innings, the Lady Vols got both tallies back in the fifth.
Barber reached and advanced all of the way around the bases on a series of wild pitches, while Wofford also came across the dish on a wild pitch following her third triple of the game.
"I was proud of Bailey Wofford and Mary Austin Barber," Dickens said. "They hit and played well. Julianne (Jackson) was in a little slump hitting, but she's still solid on the mound. We've got the kids we can count on every game."
Jackson, who had a double on offense, went the distance in the circle, gave up six hits and struck out a pair.
Barber had three singles for SA and Wofford added a single to go along with her three triples. Megan Aucoin and Jones had one single each.
The last three spots in the batting order for the Lady Vols were hitless in 11 trips to the plate and that's a cause for concern for Dickens.
"We left six runners on base at one time and we've got to find someone in the bottom of the order who will swing the bat and knock those in," Dickens said.
Hebron coach Cass Tapley decided to start Jessica Fleming on the mound instead of regular starter Chloe Tapley.
Fleming only lasted one inning plus after giving up the seven early runs.
After coach Tapley put in Chloe, his daughter, she recorded 10 strikeouts and scattered six hits.
Coach Tapley offered no apologies for starting Fleming.
"My other pitcher just needed some work and most cases she was throwing OK," Coach Tapley said. "We had to throw it across the plate the first three innings and they hit the ball. I thought our girls did OK and we were set for a game like this."
Coach Tapley bragged on Starkville Academy, noticing the improvement made by Dickens in a short amount of time.
"They may be the most improved team in the state since the summer to be honest," Coach Tapley said.
Dickens believes the Lady Vols, who improved to 10-9 overall, are making strides, but still have some areas to smooth out. She didn't like the fact that the Lady Eagles jumped out to an early lead.
"They are starting to understand and I think we've got it in their heads that we can't give up everything," Dickens said. "We're still making some mistakes and giving people stuff, but we're getting better at it and we're trying to be more mentally focused the last three games. It feels good and it's coming together."
Wofford said it's going to take support throughout the entire team to keep things moving in a positive direction.
"We have to keep each other up and make sure we make routine plays," Wofford said. "We've got to work on hitting more."
For Hebron, which fell to 11-6 overall, Magen Tapley had two singles and Tori Nichols added a double.
The Lady Vols travel to Winston Academy Thursday for a varsity doubleheader to make up for a rainout earlier in the season, while the Lady Eagles take on Calhoun Academy Thursday.

Why Get Tested?
To measure or monitor your estrogen levels; to detect an abnormal level or hormone imbalance as a cause of your signs and symptoms; to monitor treatment for infertility or symptoms of menopause; sometimes to test for fetal-placental status during early stages of pregnancy
When to Get Tested?
Women: when you show symptoms of a hormone imbalance, such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, lack of menstrual periods, unusual and/or early or late sex organ development; when you are undergoing infertility treatment or therapy for menopause symptoms; when you are pregnant and your health practitioner wants to monitor the health of your placenta and developing baby, if it is a high-risk pregnancy
Men: when you have signs of feminization, such as enlarged breasts (gynecomastia)
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or a 24-hour urine sample
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Estrogens are a group of steroids that are responsible for the development and function of reproductive organs and the formation of secondary sex characteristics in women. Along with another hormone, progesterone, they help regulate the menstrual cycle, are involved in the growth of breasts and the uterus, and help maintain a healthy pregnancy. Though considered the main sex hormones for women, they are also found in men and play a role in bone metabolism and growth in both sexes. Estrogen tests measure one of three components: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), or estriol (E3) in the blood or urine.
- Estrone (E1) is directly converted from androstenedione (from the adrenal gland) or indirectly from other androgens. E1 can also be produced by the ovaries and placenta, testicles, and adipose (fat) tissues. E2 and E1 can be converted into each other as needed. E1 is the primary estrogen in men and in post-menopausal women.
- Estradiol (E2) is primarily produced in the ovaries in pre-menopausal women and in the testicles in men. E2 is converted from E1 in post-menopausal women. It is the most potent estrogen and the one that is present in the highest concentration in non-pregnant, pre-menopausal women. E2 levels vary depending on a woman's age and reproductive status. They are a good marker of ovarian function.
- Estriol (E3) is produced by the placenta, with concentrations rising throughout a woman's pregnancy. Increasing levels are an indication of the health of the pregnancy and developing baby. Estriol is part of the second trimester maternal serum screen, a test performed to evaluate fetal risk due to certain chromosomal abnormalities. Very low levels of E3 are present in non-pregnant women or men.
Estrogen in Girls and Women
The types and amounts of estrogen normally present in a woman's blood will vary throughout her lifetime. Levels vary during each menstrual cycle, during pregnancy, and on a daily basis.
At Birth
Estradiol (E2) and estrone (E1) are high but fall within a few days. Concentration levels are minimal during early childhood.
At Puberty
Concentrations of E2 and E1 begin to rise as puberty approaches. These estrogens are responsible for the development of breasts, uterine growth, and (with other hormones) the onset and regulation of menstruation. A moderate amount of E1 is present from puberty to menopause. This concentration will vary during the day but is otherwise relatively stable.
During Menstruation
The menstrual cycle is approximately 28 days long and consists of two phases, follicular phase and luteal phase. During each cycle, estradiol (E2) and several other hormones normally rise and then fall in a specific sequence.
During Pregnancy
Estriol (E3) is the primary estrogen present during pregnancy. It is produced by the placenta, starts to rise in the eighth week of pregnancy, and continues to rise throughout the pregnancy. A sharp increase of E3 occurs approximately 4 weeks prior to the onset of labor. Estriol circulating in maternal blood is quickly cleared out of the body. Each measurement of estriol is a snapshot of what is happening with the placenta and fetus, but there is also natural daily variation in estriol concentrations.
E1 also rises during pregnancy, increasing as much as 10 fold between weeks 24 and 41. After delivery, E1 falls and E3 again becomes essentially undetectable.
During Menopause
Estrone (E1) is the primary estrogen present during menopause. E2 concentrations significantly decrease as ovarian production wanes and eventually stabilize at a low level.
Estrogen in Boys and Men
The types and amounts of estrogen normally present in a man's blood change, but they vary much less over time than a woman's and they are much lower.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in the arm or a 24-hour urine sample is collected.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed, but the timing of a woman's sample will be correlated with her menstrual cycle or, if pregnant, with the gestational age of the baby.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Comments about DMN Chain Tensioner Chinstay Mount:
I run a 1x9 on a steel hardtail and was dropping my chain (no ISCG mount). This was a cheap and easy fix. It is easy to use but is a bit heavy and noisy and might cause a bit of drag but it works well consindering.
Best Uses
Comments about DMN Chain Tensioner Chinstay Mount:
It is an interesting approach to chain holding devices. It works nice for really long chain applications, such as xtracyles. Keeps the chain tensioned and in place, but it makes quite a bit of noise. A small sprocket and bearings would make it a lot more silent, albeit a bit heavier.
Best Uses
Comments about DMN Chain Tensioner Chinstay Mount:
Chainstay mount tensioners are love-it or hate-it. They either work or they don't. This one happened to work with my frame, but it needed a lot of coaxing to do so. Initially, the chainstays didn't mount the mounting groove in the device properly. So the clamping surface had to be pried open and reshaped to get it to mount up right. It took quite a bit of work, then it needed repainting as the paint had flecked off during the process.
In the end, the effort was worth it since it worked like a charm. I couldnt' use a BB mounted or ISCG mounted tensioner since i'm using a square taper BB and my frame doesnt have ISCG mounts. So it was this or nothing at all.
Best part is, I have ample clearance with the rear tire and the roller is wide enough to accomodate the chain as it swings through the 3 chainrings and 9 cogs.
There is sa bit of extra noise while pedaling but its a minor tradeoff from the addeded security from chain drops and annoying chainslap.
Do make sure that your frames chainstays are small enough to accept the clamping part of the tensioner. Otherwise, you'll need a long day ahead of you to get it to fit.
Comments about DMN Chain Tensioner Chinstay Mount:
Smooth operation and overall the experience was good. However, unless you are on a tight budget I recommend a different device. The tensioner left the chain slacker than I liked.

Poetry Reading
Awaiting still our metamorphosis,
We hoard the fragments of what we once knew,
It is not sleep itself but dreams we miss.
We yearn for that reality in this.
-Derek Mahon,
The Dawn Chorus
Regarded as one of contemporary Ireland's greatest poets, Derek Mahon's narrative playfulness and energy and decisive technical virtuosity have earned him a worldwide reputation. Born in Belfast in 1941, Mahon was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he majored in French, and at the Sorbonne. He began writing verse early. In 1965 he won the prestigious Gregory Award for poetry and his first collection of poems was published in 1966. His books include Night Crossing (1968), Lives (1972), The Snow Party (1975), The Hunt by Night (1983), and Antarctica (1985). His Selected Poems was published by Viking last year. He has served as drama critic for the Listener, and is a regular contributor for the Observer, New Statesman, and the Times Literary Supplement.
A noted translator, Mahon was awarded the C. Scott-Moncrieff Prize for his renderings of the poems of Philippe Jaccottet. He has also translated works of Moliere, Euripedes, and Nerval. He has written television adaptations of novels by Irish writers Jennifer Johnston and Brian Moore as well as a dramatization of Ivan Turgenev's First Love. Mahon has taught at Trinity College, New University, and Wake Forest University.

She was writer-in-residence at the University of Richmond, Virginia, in 1988 and currently teaches at Princeton University.
Tolstaya is well known for interpreting Russian culture for Americans. In addition to fiction, she has written a number of essays about Russian life, politics, and Russian-American relations that have sparked much discussion in academic and literary circles.

The Bobby Bradford Mo'tet Jazz Concert
BODBBY BRADFORD, cornet
ROBERTO MIRANDA, bass
SONNY PHILLIPS, piano
WILLIAM JEFFREY, drums
VINNIE GOLIA, woodwinds
Bobby Bradford has done just about everything that can be done in the musical world. He has played jazz, blues, and R&B. Bradford's distinction is that he plays all of them very well. He has been described by great jazz musician Ornette Coleman as "...one of the best cornet players playing today."
Bradford first came to prominence in the seminal bands of Ornette Coleman from 1961 to 1963. After a brief stint with the U.S. Air Force Band, he began working with famed clarinetist John Carter. Their association produced many recordings including the popular "Comin' On" (1988) on Hat Hut Records.
In the 1970s and '80s Bradford worked with English drummer John Stevens and his Spontaneous Music Ensemble as well as the late South African expatriate bass player Johnny Dyani. Together, they toured and produced three albums including "Detail Plus" (1988) and "Dance of the Soul" (1988), both on Impetus Records. Bradford's discography includes 18 records, and he has performed at such places as the Montreux/Atlanta International Music Festival, the KOOL Jazz Festival, the North Sea Jazz Festival in Holland, and the Bicentennial Commonwealth Festival in Austria.
Bradford now divides his time between touring and teaching at Pomona College and Pasadena City College. Bradford toured Japan with saxophonist David Murray during the past summer. At 53, Bradford is considered a contemporary jazz master, proving his skill with his latest release, the soulful and adventurous recording "One Night Stand" (1990) on Soul Note Records.
The History of New Orleans Culture and Cuisine
Leah Chase has been working in the restaurant business for over forty years. Chase, however, is more than a chef and co-owner of the nationally famous Dooky Chase restaurant in New Orleans, she is a nationally recognized culinary expert and a civic leader in New Orleans.
Born in New Orleans in 1923, she was reared in Madisonville, Louisiana, where her culinary education began. There she did everything possible to stay out of the kitchen, but with ten other children in the family that was difficult. As her mother and sister prepared meals with a rich variety of homegrown vegetables, she gained her culinary knowledge. In 1942 Chase found herself waiting tables in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It was her first time inside a restaurant since there were no restaurants serving Blacks. During that time Chase decided that she wanted to own her own restaurant.
As her restaurant blossomed, Chase found herself in the kitchen as well as managing. Her creative cuisine and legendary Creole gumbo made Dooky Chase a national treasure. Chase uses her skill and experience to unify the cultures of the French, the Spanish, the Native American, and the African to create Creole and Cajun cuisine. This master chef states that in addition to these cultures, "You have to put all your love in that pot."
A civic leader, Chase is involved with housing projects and homeless shelters. She is a former board member of the New Orleans Museum of Art, the New Orleans Symphony, the New Orleans City Ballet, the Urban League of Greater New Orleans, and the Coalition of 100 Black Women. Chase was featured in Brian Lanker's book I Dream A World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America (1989). She wrote The Dooky Chase Cookbook (1990) and was a major contributor to Master Chef Nathaniel Burton's book, Creole Feast (1978).
There will be a special Creole dinner prepared using Chase's recipes and cooking techniques.
Rising from the Plains
John McPhee is one of America's premier essayists, known for his ability to transform the ordinary world of hard facts into an extraordinary world of surprise and adventure. His recent books have explored the geology of the North American continent through the eyes and lives of contemporary geologists. One of those works, Rising from the Plains (1986), focuses on the life of David Love, a Wyoming geologist, whose mother traveled by stagecoach to settle in the West in 1905. Her fascinating journal of family life on the treeless range of Love Ranch is the basis of the dramatic reading that will be performed by John McPhee and his wife, Yolanda. In the tradition of Wallace Stegner it is a testament to the frontier experience in American life.
For nearly 30 years John McPhee has been a writer for The New Yorker and is the author of 22 books including A Sense of Where You Are (1965), The Pine Barrens (1968), Coming into the Country (1985), The Control of Nature (1989), and most recently, Assembling California (1993). The recipient of numerous awards and honorary degrees, McPhee is the Ferris Professor of Journalism at his alma mater, Princeton University.
Yolanda McPhee, a graduate of Smith College, is a horticulturist and is the director of Whitman Indoor Gardens.
Please join us for this unusual performance-reading that celebrates life in the American West.
Application forms for the position of student fellow for the academic year 1994-95 may be picked up at the Athenaeum office on Monday, February 28. The application must be completed and all letters of reference returned by Friday, March 25.

RICHMOND (AP) -- Sailors aboard the USS Fort McHenry have made it a monthly habit of traveling from their homeport in Virginia Beach to Richmond National Battlefield Park, and not as tourists.
Led by their chaplain, Lt. Kevin Johnson, a rotating group has been volunteering their time to clean up the landscape at Rural Plains, one of the park's newest sites. Thursday will be their third visit clearing brush and cleaning up debris.
Rural Plains is at the heart of the 1864 Totopotomoy Creek battlefield. It includes the Shelton House, which dates to the early 1700s.
Thursday, the park will also unveil a sign commemorating the sailors' service to the site.

Third Party?
Generally, I believe that third parties ensure the re-election of Democrats. This was true in the 1990s when Ross Perot ran against George Bush and Bill Clinton, winning 20% of the votes and getting no electoral college votes.
And while I am still strongly opposed to a third party this round, I can't help but think of a scenario where we might be able to get a more conservative independent to face off with Mitt Romney should he win the GOP nomination.
Let's say a well known conservative, with adequate experience who could hold their own against Obama without Romney in the race were to jump in. How much support would they have to gain before you would support them?
Again, I'm completely against it, but it's kind of a fantasy of mine to hold the GOP establishment accountable.

The South St. Louis County Fair wrapped up Sunday July 13 and the final
act was a night of stock car racing. A total of 79 cars the best total of the
season were in competition and a good crowd of fans were in attendance.
The track turned into one where high groove momentum would rule the day,
a situation that can be dangerous as it forces drivers to run a line that can lead
to disaster with just a tiny error.
The first round of qualifying heats were complete by 6:30 and, after a
brief intermission for track grooming it was time for the five feature events to

The 4th of July is Thursday, and chances are, you already have the main meal for your celebration figured out.
But are you planning a yummy dessert to go along with your meal?
Maybe you forgot, or maybe you think there's not enough time or money to be able to include a dessert. And while it's true that when time and money are short, putting together a dessert can be a challenge, the truth is that no holiday meal is complete without a sweet ending. So what can you do?
The following budget-friendly recipes are the perfect way to finish your 4th of July meal with a delicious bang. Plus, they're so easy, you can pull them off even at the last-minute.

Grilled Angel Food Cake with Summer Fruit combines light, luscious angel food cake with summer berries in sweet, tangy syrup and takes just minutes to prepare.
Easy Banana Cream Pie is the perfect light and creamy ending to your celebration and takes just minutes of active prep time. Just mix it together and let it hang out in the fridge for a few hours while you get the rest of your meal prepared.

What is probate?Probate is the legal process of settling an estate after a person has died. A petition must be filed with the court and a personal representative must be appointed. The personal representative is responsible for the following:
When is Probate unnecessary?There is generally no need for probate if a person dies and:
When is probate necessary?
If a person dies leaving a Will, is there a need for probate?If someone dies leaving a Will (testate), it does not automatically mean that there is no need for probate. The determining factor is how the assets were held as of the date of death. See the answer above describing situations where probate is necessary.
Informal ProbateInformal Probate is processed through the Probate Registrar instead of a District Court Judge. Minnesota Statute 524.3-305 gives the Probate Registrar the authority to reject any application for informal probate for any reason. If a Will is involved that has a survivorship clause in it, you cannot apply for an informal probate until after the time stated in the survivorship clause has lapsed. If the Probate Registrar rejects your informal probate petition, you may need to file a formal probate petition that will be heard by a judge.
Informal probate is an unsupervised probate process that is absent of complexity and problems that need court involvement, protection, supervision, or adjudication. It may be used when there is a need to begin the probate process in a short amount of time (i.e. stock fluctuations involved).
An informal application will not be accepted if any of the following conditions apply:
In informal proceedings, the Personal Representative is appointed by Probate Registrar to administer the estate.
After the informal probate has been fully administered, the personal representative should file an "Unsupervised Personal Representative's Statement to Close Estate" with the Probate Court. No other forms need to be filed with the Probate Court during administration.
Formal ProbateFormal Probate matters come before a District Court Judge either as supervised or unsupervised administrations. Formal probate is a better way to proceed if there are problems with the estate and a judge is needed to make determinations. A formal probate should be filed if:
Affidavit of Service to Comm.
Special AdministratorA Special Administrator can be appointed by the court when the appointment is necessary to preserve the estate or to secure its proper administration including circumstances where a Personal Representative cannot or should not act. For example, the decedent had no assets but medical records are needed.
What is a creditor?A creditor is a party asserting a claim against an estate.
What is a devisee?A devisee is a person designated by will to receive real and/or personal property of an estate.
Who are considered heirs of an estate?Blood relatives (including a surviving spouse) who are entitled to property of a deceased person who did not have a Will.
Who are considered "interested persons" of an estate?Heirs, devisees, creditors, beneficiaries and any others having a property right in or a claim to a decedent's estate.
What Minnesota Statutes apply to a probate court?Chapters 524 and 525, Uniform Probate Code and Probate Proceedings are the primary statutes that govern probate law. The Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure also apply.
What is a Personal Representative?A personal representative (sometimes referred to as executor or administrator) is the party in charge of handling the estate of the decedent. Personal representatives are appointed by a District Court Judge in formal proceedings or a Probate Registrar in informal proceeding. Responsibilities of the personal representative include:
Examples of the duties of the personal representative are:
The personal representative is personally responsible for probating the estate completely and correctly, according to statute, and to bring it to a prompt conclusion. Most estates are expected to be completed within an 18 month period. If additional time is needed, the personal representative must petition the court for an extension.
The forms I have all say the decedent must have died less than three years ago. What if the person died more than three years ago?If the person died more than three years ago, you must follow the procedure for Determination of Descent found in Chapter 525 of the Minnesota Statutes.
A Summary Administration is an option if there are only exempt assets. (homestead, personal property, family allowance) A decree can issue immediately after court hearing with a clearance from medical assistance. There can also be nonexempt assets under $100,000. A decree will then issue after the claims period expires. This is not a good option of a Personal Representative is needed to administer the estate.
Summary Administration
If a Will was kept in a safe deposit box at a bank, you may search the safe deposit box using the form below:
Affidavit in support of search of decedent's safe deposit box

Lake Stevens wins 4A state wrestling title

Lake Stevens' Brandon Johnson celebrates his title at 285 pounds.
Don't tell that to the Lake Stevens Wrestling team.
Saturday at Mat Classic XXV, the Vikings captured their fifth 4A state crown in seven seasons, besting defending champion Tahoma by a wide margin 162-120. Edmonds-Woodway was the next best local team in ninth place with 52 points. The Vikings will tell you they could never do it on their own.
"It is a team because you can't get better by yourself." Lake Stevens coach Brent Barnes said. "You can't do it alone. That's why these kids are good because they have each other."
The Vikings had three individual champions and were the only local team with even three finalists. Heavyweight Brandon Johnson's win in the 4A title bout capped the tournament.
"It's huge," Johnson said. "Individual state title is great, but a team state title where everybody worked and contributed to it? That's awesome. Nothing like it."
If any one of the Vikings had reason to take more pride in his individual performance it was Johnson. A year ago as a junior on the same stage he led Central Kitsap's Kyle Lanoue 1-0 and nearly pinned the senior, but an escape sent the match to overtime where Johnson gave up a near fall and lost.
"When you come so close to something you want real bad and you don't quite make the cut it pushes you 10 times harder than before," Johnson said. "As soon as I stepped off the mat here I went into training again."
Johnson hasn't lost a high school bout since, which is a first at the 285-pound class according to Barnes.
"For him to do that on our schedule is pretty phenomenal," Barnes said. "He's a good heavyweight."
He was good enough to lift Barnes up off the mat and embrace the long-time coach after what seemed like a parade in the form of a 7-3 decision against South Kitsap's Damien Medeiros who Johnson had beaten twice previously including last weeks regional tournament.
"He's a great kid and he works really hard," Barnes said. "He's put a lot of time in the sport. He's been a good leader for us and he's big. He's a huge human being."
Barnes said it was the first time a wrestler has picked him up. Saturday was also the first time that Barnes coached brothers both to state titles -- Michael and Eric Soler.
Michael, a freshman, won at 106 pounds, and Eric, a senior, won at 145 pounds.
Michael Soler, wrestling in his first Mat Classic opened, the championship round with a relatively easy 8-3 decision over Moses Lake's Trey Long. He wasn't sure how it would feel after watching his older brother get his first title last year as a junior.
"It was incredible," Michael said. "I've never felt this proud. It all paid off. It's more of a relief I think actually."
He said that he felt pressure during the regular season, but was able to escape the pressure at the Tacoma Dome.
"I really felt it earlier in the season," he said. "But I just kind of took it off myself and went out there and wrestled."
The younger Soler was the tip of the spear of the freshman class that played a big part in the state crown and, according to Barnes, made this one of the unique teams that he's coached.
"It's just a good mix of old and young," Barnes said of the four freshman and six seniors in his 14 state qualifiers. "Kids that get along and care about each other. It's pretty awesome."
One of the hardest fought individual wins came from Eric Soler at 145 pounds. He went up against another defending state titleist in the final. Ian Steen of Graham Kapowsin took a 2-0 edge after the second period and Soler earned an escape point in the third. With 12.7 seconds to go in the match, he got a timely reversal for a 3-2 lead.
His strategy was simple.
"Stay in the match and then when it's time to go just go," Eric Soler said.
He went 1-1 against Steen during the regular season and used experience to his advantage. Over his career he's also come back from injuries including an ACL tear, a sprained MCL and torn meniscus.
"I don't know if I've coached as good a competitor as Eric," Barnes said. "He seems to have a flair for the dramatic. He finds a way and you have to be pretty special to find a way to get the job done."
The Vikings briefly talked of going for the 4A record for points set by Tahoma last year (190), but ended up not having enough wins.
Still, the team was proud of the overall victory.
"It means a lot, especially as a captain I'm responsible," Eric Soler said. "I feel like I didn't do my job last year when we took fifth. We just weren't where we needed to be. People were getting in trouble and a couple kids didn't make weight. That was kind of on me because I was really looking after everyone."
Freshman AJ Crew was runnerup to Michael Soler in the district 1 tourney but, his hopes of a rematch in the finals in Tacoma were dashed when he lost a 7-2 decision in the semifinals. He finished with a close 4-2 loss to Eastmont's Fabian Wickham to take fourth.
At 120 pounds, freshman Jake Douglas was pinned in the semifinals by Tahoma senior Tim Whitehead. He won one more match, but dropped a 4-2 decision to take home fourth place. At 138 pounds, senior Jesse Peterson lost to finalist Joshua Smith of Kent-Meridian in the second round, but rallied to take fifth place with a pin. Blake Sander took home seventh place at 160 pounds with a 5-3 OT win.
Sophomore Cody Vigoren made the semifinals at 170 pounds, but was thrown back by Chandler Rogers of Mead who pinned him Saturday morning. He won a 4-2 decision to advance to the third place final, but dropped a 3-2 decision and took fourth place.
Shaq Reed had never wrestled until his sophomore year and was just a participant in the Mat Classic last year. This year he breezed into the semifinals but ran into Wenatchee's Kyle Lesmeister and dropped a 4-2 decision. He won his first consolation bout 6-1 but was pinned by Skyline's Sean Mcalhaney.

Jeff Sharlet was a guest on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show yesterday talking about this book "The Family" which is based on his research into the U.S. Senate members who believe themselves to be above the law. They are in an organized Christian condo, with those hypocrites who have had sexual affairs outside of their marriages. Being Christians they have a new standard of morality.
I ordered the book from Amazon and will read it this weekend. Has anyone here read the book or are interested in the conspiracy of sending our Christian Senators to other nations to explain our Christian government?
I've never been a militant Atheist but when our Senate groups together on tax-paid crusades to sell Jesus abroad, I feel a military fury with this plan.
