This was just posted in the GBATemp Devolution thread:
Sorry, I had to fix that horrendous white text ~ SNES_MasterOriginally Posted by tmv_josue @ GBATemp
Last edited by SNES_Master; 05-10-2013 at 08:40 PM.
I never knew such a program existed...so with that I could take my 251 memory card rip, upgrade the raw file to 1,019 (or bigger) and it would not delete any of my data?
Apparently. I never knew it existed either, hence why I quoted and posted it here.
I've come across an issue with Devolution. My new Hd (2.0 Tb WD Passport) is working fine with fine with Wii games and GC games (via Dios Mios) loaded thru USB Loader Gx. In trying to get Devolution to work however I get no where. The screen goes black, rapid light flashes from the drive then reset to Wii warning screen with the press A. Digging around the internet, I found there was a revision to Devolution, downloaded the file; placed it in the apps folder. Ran it from the Homebrew channel of USB Gx. Black screen with text. Select game. 2 flashes. Insert game. Voila 1080 starts with music in the background. Same hard drive. Same ripped file.
So it will load from the Devolution app, but not if I click on the GC's boxart in USB Loader GX. I don't think there's anything wrong with my settings, custom paths, etc. I thought maybe it was the hard drive but it's formatted properly and it worked when I used the new Devolution.
Also not to complicate matters but I have another smaller Hd and it does exactly what it's supposed to, selected game in USB loader GX, select devolution. 2 lights, insert disc, etc. Already have F-Zero up and running without the disk. And the file structure isn't even using the GC id.
V:\games\F-ZERO GX (US Version) [GFZE01]\game.iso
Is it the loader.bin?? I'm not sure what that is or if it's possible to update it?
Make sure you have the loader.bin for Devolution (it is included in my attachments on page 1 of the guide). Just download my USB Loader GX attachment and you'll have what you need. Make sure you set the custom paths as specified in the guide
That reminds me, have you updated the attachments to r196? The change log doesn't list this...
I have not, I've been busy with work. I will do so tonight.
As a test I did the following (same Wii, SD card, same settings, file path).:
+2Tb Hard Drive
-Ripped SSX Tricky to Hd using USB Loader GX
*Devolution via Usb Loader GX: Not working (4 Light flases and reset)
*Develution via homebrew (Stand alone): Yes working
*Mios Dios via USB Loader GX: Yes working
+500Gb Hard Drive
-Ripped SSX Tricky to Hd using USB Loader GX
*Devolution via Usb Loader GX: Yes Working
*Develution via homebrew (Stand alone): Yes working
*Mios Dios via USB Loader GX: Yes working
I don't know why the 2Tb won't work with USB loader GX...
Are your 2T and 500gb formatted the same? Does your 2T have multiple partitions?
Both are fat 32, no partitions. I followed the Formating a Hard drive guide for both of them.
Edit: Also just tried the test suggested in one of the guides [notepad note should be 32.0 KB (32,768 bytes)] It is.
I thought I had read somewhere that the four flashes meant something.

2.4: The President – Internal External Security
Peter slumped back onto his chair after the door shut behind the departing Tom. He loved Melissa and wanted her to be his official Partner. Since Elites were allowed to have non-State sanctioned children, it was decided by Peter's Nation that Elites were not allowed to be part of the Partner Group Therapy program in the event that accidents occurred and one of the female Partners became pregnant. This was to avoid complications in matters of social and financial inheritance should a female Elite decide to keep the accidental baby.
If Melissa was to be Partnered with Como, it would almost certainly be the end of any informal relationship Peter had with her.
"David," Melissa announced. Peter smiled weakly at her. He wondered if the Director had briefed her on the next step in her life.
David was the Director of the Internal External Security Department. Although Peter had been Vice President, Peter had minimal interaction with the third most powerful man in the Nation.
"Hello Mr President, " David greeted Peter.
"David, take a seat."
"If you don't mind, I would rather continue standing. Could you please ask Melissa to leave."
Before Peter could raise any objections with the request, Melissa left the room.
"Let's begin Mr President. Most things about the IES you already know from your duties as the Vice President. Today's briefing is to share with you the one thing you do not know. This information is made known only to four people. The current President, the Prime Minister, Julian Septius Wong and Christian Octavius Lim."
"How about previous Presidents?"
"None of the previous Presidents are alive."
Peter stood up and turned to face the window. Peter wasn't sure if David's last statement was a threat, warning or admission that David knew about Peter's involvement in the murder of the last President.
"After the Universal Tracking System was implemented, we were able to monitor all the vital biological details of every Trackable in the world. During the roll-out phase, we started observing anomalies in the system. Andrew who was still alive theorized that the radiation from the attacks of June 26th had created a condition where some human babies who were born in the aftermath of June 26th was mutated in significant ways."
Peter turned to face David.
"What does this mutation mean?"
"What sort?"
"Different for different folks."
"Do you know the powers for every mutated individual."
"No. Only the more noteworthy ones."
"Am I one of them," Peter asked.
David smiled. Most Presidents never ask that question.
"Yes, you are."
"I was born before the attacks occurred," Peter said.
David smiled. Peter was paying attention.
"Yes, you were. Andrew noticed from the data that humans who were within a certain age near the attacks also were affected. Radiation works in really mysterious ways. I believe you were nine when you were in San Francisco on June 26th."
"What are my powers?"
"Power. You just have one."
"What is it?"
"You have the ability to cause physiological and neurological change in other humans which will impact their ability to execute desired actions."
"Which means?"
"You have the ability to increase or decrease the confidence of other individuals thus impacting their physical and mental performances."
"Please explain it like I am an idiot," Peter asked. David's information would have fazed most individuals but Peter took it with the equanimity of a man who always knew he was special without knowing what made him special.
"Let me give you an example. The first tennis competition you won. You were playing against the then National Champion. And you won. How did you think you did it?"
"You tell me."
"I think you intuitively knew of your ability. You made him believe he could never beat you. You made him lose all confidence in himself, in his training, in his abilities. He couldn't play the right tennis strokes to beat you because he didn't have the confidence to. His body reacted accordingly to the vanishing confidence."
"So this ability can be directed."
"Yes, it can. But normally, from what we have understood, subconsciously you emanate an aura outwards which just reduces the confidence of the people around you."
"Are the effects persistent or localized to my presence."
David started laughing.
"What's so funny."
"I'm sorry Mr President, " David apologized, "if I may have a little indulgence, I would like to compliment you on your intelligence. No President has ever asked me such a question."
"What's the answer?"
"From what we have seen, it is localized though there are residual effects which dissipate only after a fairly significant amount of time and distance."
"You mentioned that I can decrease and increase confidence."
"Yes, " David confirmed Peter's statement.
Peter sat down and leaned forward, his elbows resting on the table. He covered his face with his hands. If what David said was true, that would explain why he could never effectively motivate a team of people. Peter had always seen himself as a possible who could be a winner, but never the leader.
"David," Peter said, looking up, "Tell me how I can train myself to control my ability. To be able to direct it and to increase confidence."
"One of my analysts will contact you."
"David, you mentioned only four other Elites who know about humans with Powers. What about these analysts? Who are they."
"There are only five Analysts. All of them are Nurtured. They do not have any emotional ties with anyone besides me. They are loyal to me."
"And who are you loyal to," Peter asked.
"No one. I'm loyal to an idea."
"Which is?"
"Never to let June 26th happen again. Not even something close to it."
"Does my power affect everyone?"
"No. It does not. For example, it does not affect me or Tom, your Director of the CI Ministry."
"Why not?"
"Some humans have inhibitors. Another manifestation of the mutation occurring within the human race."
"What then is your Power?"
"I have none save for the inhibiting mutation."
"As President, do I have the full list of all humans with Powers."
"No," David replied, "there is no such list. Only what my Analysts and me can remember."
"So will you tell me about all the humans with Powers."
"No," David replied firmly. David knew he was treading on dangerous territory here. None of the previous Presidents took kindly to David's insistence that the knowledge of all the humans with Powers be kept from the them.
"I understand," Peter said.
David allowed himself to reveal his pleasant surprise.
"But one last question for now, does John have any Powers," Peter asked.
"Yes, he does. Which is why he has been so valuable to you."
"What are John's powers," Peter asked.
"He has the ability to cause physiological and neurological change in other humans which will impact their ability to attribute failure or blame to him."
"Basically, he is always blameless," Peter wryly added.
"Yes," David chuckled, "Basically if you grew up with him, he gets all the icecream and mother will always scold you for breaking the vase."
David started walking towards the door.
"Wait," Peter instructed, "actually, there is one more individual I would like to know about."

Make your headlights shine brighter without turning on the high beams.
Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer is step one in the Diamondite Clear Plastic Kit. This cleaner/polish removes fine scratches and haze from clouded plastic headlight lenses and other hard plastic surfaces. Uncover smooth, clean, clear plastics with Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer. Clear plastic increases the effectiveness of headlights and improves your safety.
Todays headlight lenses are incredibly resilient against abrasion and impact. Most are made of a hard resin called polycarbonate, which is used to make bullet-proof windows, among many other consumer products. But polycarbonate isnt invincible. Overexposure to UV rays does cause the plastic to cloud over time, which makes your vehicle look older and reduces the amount of light projected onto the road.
Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer is a fine grade polish and cleaner that smoothes out imperfections in polycarbonate headlight lenses and other hard plastics. Using your polisher or an electric drill, Clear Plastic Enhancer erases years of UV damage and wear from plastic. Instead of replacing clouded headlight lenses, restore them to like-new clarity with DIamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer.
This formula is designed specifically for hard, clear plastics. Because a clear surface is more likely to show marring and haze, the abrasives in DIamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer are specifically milled and blended to work quickly but gradually on clear plastic. Large, hard abrasives would inevitably scratch the plastic. Diamondites tiny diminishing abrasives blend away imperfections and leave the surface with little, if any, surface haze. The next step in the kit will completely eliminate haze and restore a perfect shine.
As the diminishing abrasives work, cleaners lift dirt and oil out of the damaged plastic. Debris becomes trapped in hairline scratches and makes them more noticeable. Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer cleans and smoothes the plastic surface to eliminate most scratches and minimize more pronounced scratches.
Use Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer on headlight lens covers, hard plastic boat windows, acrylic, Plexiglas, and unpainted fiberglass.
Please note: Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer is not intended for painted plastics, vinyl-coated plastics, or soft plastics. Use Diamondite Clear Plastic Restorer, step two of the Diamondite Clear Plastic Kit, on motorcycle windscreens and vinyl convertible top windows.
The Diamondite Clear Plastic Kit is formulated to work with your electric drill or polisher and 4 inch foam pads. Diamondite Clear Plastic Restorer, in particular, will yield the best results when applied by machine.
If your vehicles headlight lens covers are showing their age, Diamondite Clear Plastic Enhancer removes cloudiness, fine scratches, and ground-in dirt to restore a like-new shine and smoothness to all hard, clear plastics.

Hello all,
I just discovered this site. It was mentioned one of the mailing lists I am on.
I have been "trying" to use the GTD system for over a year now. I can never seem to make it fly, however. I am overwhelmed with my index cards full of ideas (the initial braindump), and I always seem to have something more urgent to do than to process cards. I just uninstalled the GTD Outlook plug-in because it was just not working for me. I'm going to give Clear Context a whirl, and see how that goes. I also just downloaded the "Instant Boss", so we'll see how that goes.
There are a lot of elements that I don't like with GTD (tickler file, the waiting on, etc.), but I always figured that I would come back to doing them. I think, after fighting with things for the last year, I realize that if it's not immediately in my face, I won't do it. Having an incredibly limited attention span will do that.
So what I've implemented so far is the Zero-Inbox (although there are still things in the @reply folder that I haven't touched), and the Hipster PDA.
I'm really looking forward to this experiment. I had already done the Week 1 assignment, and although the Week 2 was supposed to be completed by yesterday, I'm going to try to do that right now (since I have a year and a half to draw from), and go from there.
Thanks so much for this experiment. Just reading all the posts this morning has gotten me motivated, and I'm looking forward to more of it.

LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – It's just a small bridge over a creek in Limestone County, but drivers who use it are worried.
"Every day I cross that bridge, I say to myself, Oh Lord, get me across this again," said Ernest Moss. He drives a big pickup truck pulling a trailer carrying his mowers, and crosses the bridge on Grigsby Ferry Road every day.
For the 20 or so families who depend on the bridge, there's the worry the concrete might not hold. Certainly the wooden guard rails don't inspire confidence. Some of the wood is missing, while the rest of it looks rotten. The metal supports for the wood are bent and corroded.
The bridge has been declared unsafe by the Limestone County School system. The bus that used to cross the bridge daily, now waits about a mile up the road for families to bring their kids to the new bus stop.
"Because of the bridge being like it is, it's a very good alternative, but it's also a dangerous area where they're getting on now," says mom Priscilla Baker.
The bridge itself is a worry to the people who have to use it, but they're also concerned garbage trucks or ambulances or other emergency responders might not use the bridge in its current condition.
The concern now combined with consternation. A county work crew recently did work on Grigsby Ferry road, and they had to cross the bridge to do it. They didn't work on the bridge.
"This is a county road, and the county should take care of it. They are here to take care of us, and everybody else, and they should fix that bridge. There's a lot of families that could get stuck, or hurt by that bridge," says Priscilla Baker.
The bridge does appear to need significant help, and that's why WHNT News 19 is Taking Action and discussing the situation with Limestone County officials.

Steamed Indian Chickpea Cakes (Microwave Khaman Dhokla)
By the way, I loved everyone's thoughts on how you pronounce (or not) besan. Richa suggested it was more like bay-sun, for anyone not wanting to sound like an Indian noob. I love how this flour which is more familiar in Indian cuisine has become more common.
Yes, I use a wealth of wacky ingredients but besan is peanuts compared to this next ingredient.
If I am lucky, I am able to find my wacky ingredients at one my favourite grocers. If you want to buy this ingredient at a grocery store, it needs to be an Indian grocer, methinks (I have spotted it in Little India: $2.50 for 100g). Or at a pharmacy.
But that's because I was looking for Eno. Yes, Eno, the antacid. Eno kept popping up as I perused recipes for dhokla, also known as Steamed Chickpea Cakes, a type of Indian snack.
My only experience with dhokla has been at home (with this recipe), but there are many recipes. Some use a combination of beans and rice and others just use chickpea flour or besan (known as khaman dhokla). Most use eno as the rising ingredient although you could substitute baking powder (it may not be as fluffy, though).
Despite both Rob and my dhokla virginity, we decided to tackle the dhokla experiment. Rather, we tackled the microwave khaman dhokla experiment! Dassana shared a beautiful post with an uber simple recipe. You microwave the batter for 2.5-3 minutes and then add the tempered spices overtop.
Rob tackled this, as he is a fan of uber simple Indian recipes, and we were blown away. Flavourful from the mustard-curry leaf tarka but the actual dhokla, the steamed cakes, were spongy, airy and delicious. Rob microwaved ours for 2 minutes but the middle wasn't fully set, so just zap it a bit longer if need be. The strength of your microwave will change the times, slightly, so experiment to see what works. If you over microwave it, it may be hard and dry, though. Alternatively, you could try the standard way with steaming, too.
How do you feel about using your microwave to bake? I also like this non-traditional chocolate protein cake that I bake in the microwave.
This is my submission to this month's Bookmarked Recipes.
Steamed Indian Chickpea Cakes (Microwave Khaman Dhokla)
Adapted from Veg Recipes of India
2 cups chickpea flour/besan
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp asafoetida
1 or 1.5 tsp grated ginger
1 green chile, deseeded and chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt (may use less next time)
1 -1.25 cups water
2 tsp Eno
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds (optional)
1 tsp agave or sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup water (or less)
1 sprig curry leaves
1/2 tbsp sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves (optional, we didn't use)
1/4 cup freshly grated coconut (optional, we used it)
1. In a small bowl, mix together the besan, turmeric, asafoetida, ginger, chile, lemon juice, salt and water.
2. Grease a large lidded microwave-safe dish (we used a 9×9″ dish).
3. Add the eno to the batter and gently mix it in. The batter should rise. Quickly add it to the grease dish and microwave on high for 2 -3 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean. If not done, microwave for 30 seconds more. (Alternatively, allow to steam for 10-15 minutes in a double boiler)
4. Now prepare your tempering: In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat add the oil and mustard seeds. Cover and allow the seeds to pop. Once they stop, add the cumin seeds and toast for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and sugar and saute for 1 minute more. Add the water, cover and bring to a boil. Pour overtop the steamed dhokla.
5. Garnish with cilantro and coconut. Serve with Indian chutneys.
Serves 2-4.

I would die without your blog…Love love love the recipes
I don't usually use the microwave to bake but I love it for saving me time and lots of messy equipment – am intrigued by this recipe – never come across Eno (unless you were talking about a moody British muso) – and I usually love anything with besan so will have to look out for Eno
Of course I fell in love with this recipe. Will look into Eno—it's available for 99 cents on Amazon—but $5 shipping! Will look for it in Indian stores.
Did you have it as an appetizer/snack, along with the chutneys?
Most of the recipes I use don't call for much microwaving—I use it mostly for reheating, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it for this (it will be our little secret and we won't tell the high-raw folks!).
Like Lani, your blog has immeasurably enriched my life, not to mention my breakfast/lunch/dinner table!
i use microwave sometime to make a mug cake as well. but usually the results are not as spectacular as the real deal, so if i have time i choose the regular method. same for dhokla. the steamed one is usually the best. i use a bit of baking soda and powder instead of eno and it comes out perfect! now that u have reminded me, i should whip some up for tomorrows breakfast!
Aaaaah I want this super much!
I'm going to have to ask my (ex)roommate if her mom uses Eno in her baking! maybe she has a secret source of it :)
I fell madly in love w dhokla after watching 3 Idiots.
It's my fav Indian snack!
So neat that you made this yourself, and in the microwave! Dhokla was the one Indian snack I just didn't understand the appeal of…I think it was the texture that I couldn't get around. But to be fair, I probably only tried it once, so maybe I would like this version! Yours definitely looks nice and fluffy!
[…] have tried (baked) pakoras and besan/khaman dhokla. For the cookbook challenge, I made these baked veggie squares. This is a fusion of the two […]
Oh wow they look amazing! And….. another new ingredient for me to look out for. You are always a mine of information Janet :)
[…] know the difference between a laddoo, burfi, and mysore pak, I can tell you all about how make dhokla, a steamed chickpea flour bread, and baked (not fried!) pakoras. Obviously, I am all over the […]

"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on." JFK
By Michael Gray
Special to the Moultrie News
The thought of capturing an idea and turning it into something physical, tangible or active, has fascinated man throughout history. Those small inspirations that turn into full grown concepts and result in actions that change the world, are evident in our every day existence.
The car, the light bulb, the airplane and cheesecake are among our favorite ideas that made their way into our reality, all having once been a mere thought.
The 2013 Wando High School marching band will explore the idea of where we get inspiration, how that gives rise to an idea and how that idea becomes real. In a show titled, "It's ALL Wright," the band explores the thought process of America's preeminent architect, Frank Lloyd Wright's efforts to design stained glass windows for his iconographic homes. The show begins with a small stage, a work room, full of blueprinted ideas that are leading no where. The architect is in an agitated panic until a beautiful muse, with her clarity of thought and purity of inspiration enters to clear his mind and reveal the vision that's trapped in his clutter. This begins an adventure of exploration, failure, revelation and eventually creation as the glorious windows come to life before your eyes. The Wando band will compete at Bands of America Atlanta and South Carolina State Championships, where they will defend their eight-time state title.

Many eye conditions that result in low vision also result in color vision deficiencies. While the most common congenital color defects produce little in the way of performance limitations in and of themselves, the additional loss of sensory information that arises from a color defect for an already compromised visual system could have greater consequences. Conversely, the residual color discrimination that some low vision observers show could provide a viable avenue along which information could be presented to enhance performance on certain tasks dependent upon visual input. This line of reasoning suggested that a useful approach would be: a) to evaluate what residual color discrimination low vision observers display and b) to evaluate what influence the introduction of chromatic contrast might have on specific tasks for normal and low vision observers.
In the evaluation of residual color discrimination, the answers to two complementary questions are sought: 1) What color contrasts does an individual discriminate most poorly, and 2) what color contrasts does an individual discriminate best. To assess the color discrimination of low vision observers, former Lighthouse research investigator Dr. Kenneth Knoblauch and his colleagues at the Institute, modified standard color tests by increasing the size of test elements to make them easier to see by low vision observers. In addition, they developed specialized computer-controlled testing equipment for measuring the color discrimination of low vision observers for stimuli of a variety of sizes. Results to date from ongoing studies using these approaches indicate that many low vision observers do show improvements in color discrimination when tested with larger objects. In addition, results indicate that standard approaches to testing color vision would not have been adequate to indicate the degree of color vision actually present in low vision observers. Future studies will concentrate on modeling the color vision losses experienced by individuals with low vision to provide tools for predicting what color contrasts will be most visible to such individuals. More recently, Drs. Knoblauch and Arditi have produced practical guidelines making color choices that are likely to have good effective contrast for those with low vision (Knoblauch and Arditi, 1993; Arditi and Knoblauch, 1994).
With knowledge of the color contrasts that an individual discriminates best, the degree to which color cues influence performance on specific tasks can be evaluated. An initial study performed by Dr. Knoblauch and his colleagues concentrated on the effect of color contrast on reading performance in normal and low vision observers. Under most practical situations, color contrast was found not to enhance reading performance and in some low vision observers, color, as opposed to luminance or brightness, contrast interfered with reading performance. The reasons why some low vision observers perform more poorly with reading material defined by color contrast are not well understood and will be the subject of future investigations. Other tasks under study for which color might provide a useful cue are visual search and object recognition. Some of these studies were funded by a grant from the National Eye Institute.
A major goal of our color contrast work is the dissemination of simple, comprehensible guidelines for choosing colors that work effectively for all, including those with the acquired color deficiencies that almost always accompany low vision, and those with congenital color deficiencies. We have developed a brochure (Arditi, 1999/2002), that is now in its third edition, that we hope accomplishes this goal. The most recent version of these guidelines is accessible on the internet Effective Color Contrase.

We have impatiently been waiting for this moment for nearly half a year. We don't just need a new American Idol, we deserve one.
Hey, remember Carrie Underwood? I remember her every night right before I go to bed. Aw, Taylor! This was supposed to be a special moment between me and Carrie! All right, well, here's Kathy. We have a perfect ratio here for a miniature golf double date. Then we can go out for chocolate dipped soft serve cones afterwards. What's this? Who are all these people? Why is the course so crowded? We're going to be here forever! Listen, guy, after your super cute 3-year old has missed from four feet for the fifth time, just pick up her pink ball and move to the next hole. Carrie don't like waiting! I do have to say, though, it's so nice that all of these Idols bravely made it through the rain. That hard driving rain of fame that depresses us all. They've gotten through it and now their clothes are white as can be!
Is Ryan wearing the same suit he did Tuesday night? Maybe he partied so hard that he simply didn't have time to change. Idol finale week is a big celebration. Ben Stiller sure seems to love that Idol. Dude, this is what Randy was like all year. Wow. We got a hot recap here tonight! Paula sure wears her heart on her sleeve, even when she's wearing a sleeveless dress. And that ain't easy, brother! Simon likes to touch his masculine chest.
Oh look, it's the vaguely attractive O'Donoghue gals. I hope they enjoy this low-definition pinnacle of their careers. What would a two-hour finale be without singing? It would be weak, that's what it would be. So let's have Paris sing with Al Jarreau. Spanning nine generations!
You know tonight's show is big because they've given Seacrest a crystal podium to stand behind. Usually he's just up there unprotected. Gossip says that podium cost $1.3 million. But it's hard to say whether that gossip is true or if I just made it up right now. So Chris Daughtry and Live, huh? This should certainly be down the middle. Nice work by Ed to shave his head in tribute to the guy who hasn't actually released an album yet. With these two smooth frontmen, the band looks like a bald Nelson up there. Oh, what is the source of your mystery? It keeps on tearing me up. Here's a question to ponder. If Live and Daughtry went on tour tomorrow, who would be the opening act?
Now let's enjoy the comedy team of Puck and Pickler. Aw, Kellie. So representative of average Americans. It's hard to believe other countries around the world don't like us sometimes. Here's the thing. I know people get weirded out by the idea of escargot. And they especially don't like escarGOT, as Kellie would say it. But we eat millions of tons of shrimp a year. It's only a matter of time before we top our waffles with prawns. So am I really to believe that a shrimp is that much more appetizing than a snail? You put a snail and shrimp in a beauty contest against each other and it'll be a tie for second place.
And Meatloaf isn't all that appetizing, either. Red handkerchief, eh? This is certain to be a dramatic performance. I guess Kathy will be playing the role of a bull. Look at Meatloaf shake. This enormous Idol finale must be making him nervous. Or his shiny coat is making him overdramatic. Speaking of overwrought, how about this performance? It's like Idol's first ever telenovela. I'm expecting Kathy to slap Meatloaf hard across the face and then kiss him deeply after the song.
So here are the premiere Golden Idols. First category, Outstanding Female Vocal. I'm expecting this whole awards procedure to be slightly ironic, so let's how it goes. Yowch. It's more than a little ironic. But they still have better nominees than the Grammys.
Ah, crazy Dave Hoover. What an enjoyable fellow. I'm surprised he could take time out of following The String Cheese Incident around in a van to appear on Idol. Mr. and Mrs. Upper Class Parents from Colorado, congratulations on raising such a fine young energetic boy. Another success story for Montessori schools, I'm sure.
Time for more from Puck and Pickler. Or Puckler, if you will. Congratulations to Kellie for inventing a new pronunciation of Shanghai. Actual knowledge is useless to Kellie. She feels with her gut and that's good enough, as one Stephen Colbert artfully put it. Gee, it's been a while since we've had any singing. Let's see if we can remedy that. Ha ha! Oh, Kevin Covais. You simply can't butch him up no matter hard you try. These five would form possibly the least threatening street gang of all time. Although they would give the Jets a run for their money in a sing off. Kevin trying to look tough during "Tobacco Road" is quite possibly the highlight of my life. He'd have more success trying to leap over the Kodak Theatre.
So a lot people are wondering who besides Taylor will become the most famous Idol after this season. Katharine? Chris? Well, I'm putting my cash money on Melissa McGhee. It sounds odd, but you'll see. And I wouldn't waste my money on a sucker's bet because, you know, C.R.E.A.M. Dolla dolla bill, y'all!
Even U2 is clearing songs for Idol now? Wow. After this song, will Elliott speak in front of the World Bank and demand third world debt relief? Will Mary J. Blige join him, much like she's joining him tonight? Now Mary J. Blige has worked with both Elliott Yamin and Method Man. It's safe to say she can call her career complete.
Ooh, Carrie's back. See, now here's a real country song. Sadness, driving, adult beverages, this song has it all. And Carrie has a halo while she sings it, so you know she's the good one. The one that been done wrong. Time for more Golden Idols. I'm actually enjoying this feature. Really. I can be genuine at times and this is one of them. Enjoy it while it lasts. By the way, that's not the real Rhonetta. Don't accept imitations!
Is Taylor going to cuss during this song to keep the theme going? That would be kinda fun. Toni Braxton, huh? I'll just leave it at that.
Let's go, girls! Let's sing a saucy montage for America! Big shirts and short skirts? Wouldn't those big shirts hang past the short skirts and create the dreaded, "I just went out to get the newspaper with only a t-shirt on and here are my thighs" effect? I can't wait until Lisa Tucker turns 18 and learns not to use blue mascara. That'll be nice. So who looked tougher during their montage? Kellie Pickler or Kevin Covais? Judgment call.
Back to the Golden Idols! Best Impersonator. It's good to know that when Simon sent Michael Sandecki to the cloakroom, he didn't pee where they hang the coats. That could've been totally lost in translation. And here's Michael, fresh from the bathroom, to accept the award. Seacrest looks like a jock in comparison. Well, this is interesting for a couple of reasons. One, do you wonder if Michael thinks the audience is cheering for him? Two, what in the world happened to Clay's head? It looks like he thought he was going on twenty minutes later and was showering when he was called to the stage. Actually, it looks like somebody put their hands on his head and pushed down. Anyway, just about anything I say about Clay will get me into trouble, so let's leave well enough alone.
Here's Burt Bacharach, whose hair looks perfectly normal. Now here's Brett Young, whose hair looks...well, it looks about the same. And you know where I stand on that matter. And then Melissa McGhee sashays onto the stage in a stunning red dress. At least that's what somebody behind me said and I decided to take it down. This is rough for Brett. With all the talent on the stage tonight, I feel like he's been totally exposed. Hopefully his agent will be sending him on TV auditions in the fall, because singing's not for him. And if he can't land a role as a cool young FBI agent who plays by his own rules, maybe he can at least land a hair care commercial. Hey, did any of you guys buy into that conspiracy theory that Kellie was just playing dumb - or dumber, at least - to garner votes? I never really did. But I would like to point out that earlier, Kellie hammily mispronounced the food as escarGOT, then just now nailed pneumonia during the musical montage. Now, maybe she sang it as ammonia earlier in rehearsal and somebody corrected her. But it's still suspect! Hey, maybe she can pronounce it fine but would spell it namoania. Who knows?
I like Elliott. Maybe some day in the near future we'll watch a game together and be a couple of real fellas. I'd like that. In a post-apocalyptic dystopia, the only available entertainment will be Kevin Covais singing "What's New, Pussycat?" Until then, let's enjoy life to the fullest. That's the second celebrity Paris got to introduce tonight! Why is she so connected? Because of her gammy? Maybe Mandisa wants to introduce a celebrity! Although I don't think Rick Warren sings.
How about one last Golden Idol before we crown the Golden Idol? Ah, Garret. The littlest cowman. Well, we all know the cowboys are winning this one, right? We might even get a song out of it! I actually think this trio should tour. They could do the famed Billings-Helena-Boise county fair circuit that saw so many hitmakers come through in the 30s.
All right, all of the guests are gone, all of the surprises are over. It's time for bidness! And then...wait...I think we have another surprise happening here. Prince! Hmm. I'm guessing Seacrest had no idea this was going down. I mean, he's had some inelegant segues in the past, but he wasn't even talking about music. Next thing you know, the purple one is getting down with two girls right where Brett Young was moments ago. This is hilarious. Poor Bucky had a big moment and all anybody will ever want to ask him is if he met Prince. And of course the answer will be no. Actually, Bucky will probably put it, "Naw, man." But you get the idea. No time to talk to Seacrest, Prince simply strolls off the stage. His two girls obediently follow. Man, oh man.
I suppose one final Taylor and Katharine dance off would be an appropriate end to this season. Seacrest chirpily informs us that 63.4 million votes were received, more than presidential elections have. Of course, you can't vote for president more than once unless you live in Illinois. And if you're 55 or older, you just loved that joke. Now here's a guy with a checked shirt and dotted tie to tell us the voting was all square. He's British, so you can totally trust him.
And then Taylor won. Aw, come on, you saw it coming.

GRAFTON, Mass. — Will third time be the charm for Bruce Spinney?
Spinney, a former Planning Board chairman who ran for the Grafton Board of Selectmen in 2012 and 2011, has taken out papers with the clerk's office to run for one of two open selectmen seats. Zoning Board of Appeals member Robert Nault has also filed his intent.
Long time selectman Peter Adams decided last week not to run for re-election and Chairman David Ross is still mulling over his decision.
Spinney has served as chairman of the Grafton Planning Board, a member of the Fisherville & Farnumsville Streetscape Committee, and on the Community Preservation Committee, among other appointments.
A Grafton resident for 11 years, Spinney grew up in Sutton and lives with his wife, Elizabeth, and three children on Brielle Road. He is a former sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corps and earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland while serving in Japan.
Although this will be Nault's first run for selectman, he is no stranger to the municipal center. He is currently clerk of the Zoning Board of Appeals, a member of the Fisherville & Farnumsville Streetscape Committee and the Capital Improvement Planning Committee. He has lived in Grafton for almost his entire life. He is married with children and has coached little league and was a cub master.
To round out the election season to date, Henry Poler and Dana Wilson have filed to run for re-election on the Board of Library Trustees, and Sargon Hanna has filed to run for re-election for a one year term on the planning board.

Enrique Chagoya
"I think in terms of opposites to balance each other, a dialectical interaction ... that hopefully could trigger some laughter."
In his prints, drawings and other works on paper, Mexican-American artist Enrique Chagoya appropriates and reorganizes images taken from the American mass media, Mexican folk art and religious sources, using them to create biting and often very humorous political and social satire. Spark follows Chagoya as he works on a new series of satirical prints aimed at George W. Bush entitled "Saint George and the Dragon." In the new series, Chagoya is experimenting with new printing techniques with master printmaker David Salgado from Trillium Graphics in Brisbane, California.
Born in Mexico City, Chagoya credits the nurse that helped raise him with his first exposure to the culture and history of the Mexican indigenous peoples. He earned a bachelor's degree in political economics at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico in 1975. As a student, he worked on several rural development projects, which helped cement his interest in political and social activism. In 1977, Chagoya immigrated to the United States, where he worked as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, sometimes in the service of farm laborers in Texas. In 1984, he graduated with a B.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute, then went on to earn an M.A. and an M.F.A. from the University of California at Berkeley. Chagoya worked as director of Galeria de la Raza, helping to establish the gallery as San Francisco's premier venue for Chicano art. Since 1995, Chagoya has been teaching printmaking at Stanford University.
Chagoya uses his work to critique the manner in which history has traditionally been written by those nations that have dominated and colonized others. He calls his practice "reverse anthropology," and he intends to overturn the direction of influence in Western art. For centuries, Western artists have mined folk and indigenous cultural production to use in their own work -- Pablo Picasso incorporated African tribal masks to develop the cubist style; British sculptor Henry Moore turned to Aztec sculpture as an influence in his modernist bronzes; and American architect Frank Lloyd Wright used forms derived from Mayan structures. Each of these artists appropriated these forms but removed them from their original context, recasting them in terms of the development of Western high art. In his work, Chagoya reverses this process, taking images from the dominant American culture and placing them within the contexts of indigenous and developing-world perspectives.
Ambivalence about American culture plays into Chagoya's work, which also seems to revel in the diversity of the United States, a world where, as Chagoya notes, "all cultures meet and mix in the richest ways, creating the most fertile ground for the arts ever imagined." Chagoya's complex and colorful prints often reflect this melding and mixing of cultures and influence, ripe with potential for new expressions and provocative humor.

Sidewalk, formerly known as CampusBookRentals, the company that helped pioneer online textbook rentals, has created a line of back-end technology and services that help campus bookstores regain their dominance of the college textbook market.
Over the past decade, brick and mortar on-campus bookstores have surrendered an estimated fifty percent of the textbook market to online retailers, jeopardizing the existence of one of the centerpieces of the college experience.
Sidewalk was founded in 2007 as CampusBookRentals by Alan Martin, a college student who was frustrated with the rising cost of textbooks. Now, the company is taking aim at helping bookstores recapture their competitive edge by creating technology that allows bookstores to acquire inventory at a lower cost and in turn lower their prices to students. These technologies include a peer-to-peer textbook selling and sourcing platform that directly connects college stores across the country and the creation of a cloud-based retail and advanced analytics platform. In addition, Sidewalk has created a white-label kiosk service to allow students to find and rent books right inside the bookstore.
The initiative is part of a significant expansion for the company, which rebranded as Sidewalk earlier this year, making CampusBookRentals the online rental division of the broader Sidewalk.
"Sidewalk's products will provide bookstores with advanced tools in an increasingly competitive marketplace and will provide continuous savings to their student customers," said Alan Martin Sidewalk's Founder and CEO. "We believe in the value and potential of college bookstores, and our evolution as a company reflects that belief. Our technologies ultimately lower prices for the student, and increase market share."
Over the past three years, Sidewalk (under the name CampusBookRentals) has solidified itself as the industry's preeminent college bookstore partner, laying the groundwork to leverage existing distribution channels to provide more value to partners and students alike and bring customers back to campus bookstores.
Sidewalk is currently partnered with more than 250 bookstores nationwide. The core technology offerings for brick-and-mortar stores include:
PRO: A complete point-of-sale solution. From general merchandise and textbook management to back-office management and business analytics, Pro integrates seamlessly into a bookstore's existing infrastructure and is designed to evolve with a store's future needs.
MARKETPLACE: A peer-to-peer textbook selling and sourcing platform that connects college stores across the country directly to each other, allowing for a much more efficient distribution of textbooks without the middleman. Direct sourcing increases efficiency, bringing higher margins to bookstores and in turn, passes significant savings along to students.
RENT: Available for both in-store and online implementation, Rent is private-labeled and provides bookstores the technology they need to establish a successful rental program. Rent covers most textbook titles, making the store dramatically more competitive.
PROMOTE: Promote directs customers away from online competition and into the bookstore by utilizing geolocation technology embedded in online price comparison websites. For the first time, local store pricing is revealed alongside online pricing, allowing students within the geographical vicinity of their bookstore to make the best possible price and convenience decision when it comes to buying books.
Sidewalk will remain under the same leadership and management team as CampusBookRentals. Additionally, the CampusBookRentals website will remain as the company's consumer-facing entity and will continue to provide price-conscious students with a flexible, convenient and economical alternative to buying textbooks.
Sidewalk is a leading provider of technologically-advanced rental solutions to the college bookstore market and has solidified itself as the industry's preeminent bookstore partner. The company's mission is to deliver significant value to students through meaningful partnerships within the college retail industry, bringing permanent positive change in the process. Founded in 2007 by CEO Alan Martin under the name CampusBookRentals, the company quickly grew into a leading independent provider of textbook rentals, providing a flexible, convenient and economical alternative to buying textbooks for price-conscious students. Today, over 250 bookstores (representing over two million students) nationwide have benefited from Sidewalk's in-store technologies and core capabilities including Pro, Marketplace, Rent and Promote.

Many of you have seen that I changed the look of Ramblings of a WAHM. It was only possible with the help of a designer named Miranda Grimm.
Finding the Right Designer
The usual way I would look for a designer (or any other service or product ) is by referrals. If that is not possible I then look in places like Elance or 99 Designs, someplace reputable.
But I was looking for someone specifically in my niche, a Work At Home Mom. Why? For the simple reason that if she is good I would love to refer her to my readers and friends. And I love to support WAHM's. Plain and simple.
The search was on. I was looking for work at home mom who designs banners.
I didn't want to rush this, I did my research. I searched many WAHM sites and forums. I looked at prices, reviews, and samples of the work they had done. But what I liked was found at WAHAdventures.com. Miranda is part of the team there and I really liked her work.
I wanted Miranda to help me with a new look for my blog.
The rest was easy. I contacted her via email. I told her that I needed a banner and a logo, and that I was on a tight budget, meaning I can't veer off into a whole redesign or new theme.
What happen next was perfect. She answered back quickly with a questionnaire for me. She was trying to get a feel of what I wanted and needed. She also briefed me on how she expected payments to be made, how the process with her works and how I will receive my products. Perfect. I love to know upfront before any work is started; no surprises, especially since I had never done this before.
I have to admit, I was a bit nervous. What if she didn't understand what I needed? What if I hate what she presents to me? What if…
I didn't need to worry. Her first design to me was awesome!! It did need some changes to what I preferred but she did them quickly and always with what felt like a smile in email form.
Over the course of the next couple of weeks she created and I sent feedback for the banner, logo, social icons and favicon. At any given stage of the design development the only tweaks were minor like a color or size change.
What a refreshing experience I had with Miranda. I swear she was in my head the whole time. From knowing I was on a budget and working within that, to knowing pretty much exactly what I wanted for my blog.
Miranda is to the point, no wasted time or money and so pleasant to do work with. I am so happy with my fresh look!
Feel free to contact her at Design By Miranda.

Undercooked clams casino, clams practically raw, no bacon. Ravioli had the texture of hockey pucks, sent back to kitchen. Ordered penne vodka that came out in 3 minutes, certainly not freshly made. Linguine with clams swimming in tasteless oil, not a sauce, served with 6 clams that tasted like they were open for hours. Entrees came out before appetizer dishes cleared, had to ask for new silverware, all the while being subjected to loud live music that made it difficult to converse on a weeknight. Seriously overpriced for unappetizing food and service. AVOID this restaurant.

We had driven past this place at least a thousand times; my wife always thought it was too expensive. We finally went. It is out of this world. Food is fabulous, service impeccable. They actually SERVE you, beautifully. Ask and you shall receive. Music night is great, and you can sit away from the front of it. The ONLY negative thing I can think of is it is about 6 miles to the powder room. But I use a walker, so it's an issue. But the food makes up for that. Call to find out about the music.

If your definition of "fine dining" is waiting an hour for a table, being crammed into a dining room like sardines and getting attitude from the owner/manager, than you found the right place! Though I called early in the week for a reservation, I was told that they don't take reservations for 2 and that we would have NO problem being seated even though it was a Saturday night. Sitting at the bar for more than an hour, almost ready to leave in disgust, we were seated....having to navigate through an overstuffed room filled with tables and no room to walk, the noise level beyond that of a sports arena and then expected to sit at a tiny table pushed into the center of this room sitting on torn old "cafeteria style chairs" (which I refused), we sat and watched as the wait staff ran around like whirling dervishes as they clearly were over worked and constantly apologizing for wait. While this is supposed to be a stylish restaurant, there were people allowed to dine in shorts, tee shirts and flip flops, right along side the other patrons dressed up for a pleasant evening out. Having been to this restaurant before on several occasions, it was clear that these people were now more interested in the bottom line than satisfying their clientele. When the owner/manager came FINALLY came over to check on us, I voiced my displeasure and she proceeded to give me attitude and walked away and complained to another table of patrons....whatever happened to the customer is always right and the graciousness that should be extended to all customers? Save yourself the aggravation and the sore throat from yelling to be heard by your table mate and go someplace else.

Whether you are a local, like me, or visiting from out of town for a short or long period of time, you must definitely have Josephine's on your list for dinner one evening. It's like escaping to Tuscany for a dining experience like no other. The food is amazing - the best fried calamari you'll find anywhere, and the entree portions are generous - at reasonable prices. The decor is gorgeous and the staff is professional, polished and very service oriented.

I'm visiting Sequim from Los Angeles this weekend and was wondering if there's anything worthwhile food-wise around. I've never been, but I understand its not the most exciting place and am not expecting much. I'll be flying into Seattle Friday night and spending 3 days in Sequim. Hopefully I'll be able to spend most of the day before my return flight in Seattle.
Highly recommend Alderwood Bistro, I wrote a short review on the Pacific NorthWest board after visiting recently.
A couple of good bakeries, Bell Street, and my favorite Pan D'Amore.
Port Townsend, about 40 minutes drive away, has an excellent Food Co-Op, Saturday Farmers Market, the main outlet of Pan D'Amore and a wider choice of restaurants. And excellent coffee and organic/local/healthy food options at Better Living Through Coffee.

re: andrewtree
If you do make it to the Alder Wood Bistro and like beer, check if they have any FATHOM & LEAGUE Hop Yard Brewery beers on. It's local craft brewer who grows his own hops and brews very small batches of excellent beer. One of his beers was recently featured in a Ray's Boathouse Brewer's dinner and was excellent - unfortunately, it's such a small production you can't get it outside of the sequim area. http://fathomandleaguebrewery.com/Hom...

re: andrewtree
Port Townsend may have more restaurants than Sequim (although I'm not sure about this), but I don't think any of them are particularly noteworthy. You can do okay at places like Silverwater Café, Fins, and Hanazono Asian Noodle, but I'm not aware of any "destination restaurants" in Port Townsend. I've had some nice meals at Dockside Grill in the John Wayne Marina in Sequim. The menu is a little pricey for food that is not terribly creative, but is usually carefully prepared and served in a pleasant, waterfront setting.
re: Tom Armitage
I think I might choose Alderwood (On w. Alder) over Silverwater Cafe (the best of those you suggested IMO). But Silverwater is a fine option should you find yourself PT way. You could also have dinner in Port Angeles (the town to the west of Sequim). I would suggest Michael's and Bella Italia (both are on First St. in the older downtown area to the West of Lincoln - one way St.). If you are very casual and looking for Pizza, I suggest Gordy's in Port Angeles. I cannot in any way recommend eating at Lake Crescent Lodge's restaurant out at Lake Crescent. That USED to be great, now it defies description (at least one charitable enough for the Christmas season).
re: lbsowen
Not especially in love with that place. Glad to hear of a reason to try again though.
On that same Street (8th) is Sabai Thai. Very solid Thai can be found there.
I know you've come and gone, but for future use, you MUST try Dockside Grill on Sequim Bay.
It is on the lower level of the John Wayne Marina. Beautiful! We ate there last Saturday and started with a Dungeness Crab Gratinee as an appetizer, it was served with these crispy delicious pieces of bread. We knew then that we had found a total gem in this restaurant ! Then I had the Scallone, which is a steak made of scallops and Abalone. The sauce with it was AMAZING with wine and garlic and almonds, and I can't wait to have it again. My husband had a steak on the cedar plank and it was cooked perfectly, so tender. I had a Blue Hole martini and he had a Wild Goose martini named after John Wayne's yacht.
We enjoyed a glass of the best Cab Franc ever. We finished with a most delicious chocolate bread pudding that had the most wonderful pistachio sauce! Needless to say, we had leftovers and enjoyed it all over again, yesterday. Try it if you are ever around Sequim and want to go to a beautiful waterfront restaurant. We are definitely going back!
re: seakitty888
Thanks for the good report. It sounds like the current menu is more innovative than the menu when I ate there some time ago, and that the food is still carefully prepared and delicious. Chocolate bread pudding with pistachio sauce ---- yum!
re: seakitty888
You should go for lunch. It is dark by 4 here during winter. If you go, be sure to walk up to the observation tower in the building for a more expansive view of the bay and marina.

Missouri National Guard Sgt. Bill Johnson, of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 203rd Engineer Battalion, of Joplin, proposes marriage to his girlfriend of two years, Lori Schnelle, to open the 33rd Annual Engineer Ball. (Photo by Matthew J. Wilson)
By Matthew J. Wilson
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. - The tone of the 35th Engineer Brigade's 33rd Annual Engineer Ball hinged on one little word - 'Yes.'
The ball, a traditional gathering of all the Missouri National Guard engineers and their Families at the Pershing Club on fort Leonard Wood, started a little off script as Sgt. Bill Johnson, of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 203rd Engineer Battalion, of Joplin, proposed marriage to his girlfriend of two years, Lori Schnelle, in front of the entire gathering.
The mood of the celebratory ball was not dampened by Schnelle, who said 'Yes' to Johnson, who was deployed to Afghanistan with the rest of the 203rd at this time last year.
"I was a little nervous," Johnson admitted. "I had three of four officers tell me, 'You are crazy - there is no way you should do this here.' But I was confident.
"She knew it was coming - she just didn't know it was coming tonight."
Schnelle, who lives in Lockwood, said she had no idea Johnson was going to pop the question at the ball. In fact, even though Johnson was called forward for a 'special announcement,' she didn't know why until he called her forward to join him.
"He talks a lot at events and I thought, 'Who knows what they are calling him up for,'" Schnelle said. "I had absolutely no idea."
Although surprised, Schnelle said the question didn't catch her off guard.
"I'm very pleased," she said. "How could I say, 'no,' to that face?"
The pair met Dec. 13, 2008 and began dating in May of 2009, about four months before the 203rd deployed.
Johnson said he laid the groundwork to ask for Schnelle's hand at the ball while at Forward Operating Bases Orgun-E and Sharana Afghanistan as a Guard paralegal.
"When I was in Afghanistan, I asked her if she would go to the engineer ball with me," he said. "I told her it was just a really nice, formal event. She said yes, she'd go to the engineer ball, so I knew I kind of had her hooked."
Another tell-tale sign that Johnson had impressed Schnelle was that the mother of three wrote and sent him a letter every day during his year-long deployment - not an e-mail, nor a computer-generated letter, but a hand-written missive.
"She is very supportive and proud of my military career," Johnson said. "Her support was incredible. I was the guy who always got mail and I got to talk to her a lot more on the phone than I thought we would. But the letters just meant so much. The military is a big part of our lives and I wanted it to be here and a part of this ball."
Schnelle said Johnson's commitment to his Family and the Guard inspired her to go above and beyond on keeping her promise to him.
"He is a very dedicated man himself," she said. "That's the first thing he asked me when I met him. He said he was going to Afghanistan and he wanted to know if I would write him while he was there. I said, 'Sure, I'll write you.' So I wrote him every day."
The marriage also will bring together their five children - Korie Johnson, 19, Nathan Schnelle, 15, Noah Schnelle, 13, Noelle Schnelle, 10, and Keely Johnson, 9.
The couple said they don't have a wedding date set yet.
"We're just playing that by ear," Johnson said.
