Tomorrow is Grandparents Day. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter designated the first Sunday after Labor Day to honor grandparents. Some of my happiest memories are of the times I spent with my grandmother, Anna Overcash.
Joe and I have been blessed with two grandsons and two granddaughters. We have been truly blessed with a beautiful great-granddaughter and in the past year the birth of three great-grandsons. We are fortunate that they all live nearby and were able to spend the day with us at our Labor Day picnic.
It's such a joy to watch these precious little ones as they grow and develop their own individual personalities.
Some interesting comments have been made about grandparents and great grandparents:
"If I had known how wonderful it would be to have grandchildren, I'd have had them first." - Lois Wyse
"Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation." - Lois Wyse
"No cowboy was ever faster on the draw than a grandparent pulling a baby picture out of a wallet." - Author Unknown
"Having a great-grandchild makes getting old worthwhile." - Evalyn Rikkers
Some third-graders that I featured in my "Grandma's Apron Strings" book had this to say about their grandmothers:
"Grandmothers are so special. She is very old, but I still love her."
"My grandma is awesome."
"Grandmothers are terrific.
"Grandmas are special. They look all wrinkly because they are old and they got them from being mad at you. Grandma's are fun when they are not cranky. Then they play with you all day until bedtime. Grandma's feel funny because they have loose skin from grabbing you."
"Grandmothers are wonderful because they keep us alive."
Through their absence or presence, our grandparents leave their indelible mark on each one of us. Happy Grandparents Day!

If I could stay for one more day,
I'll go back to my past;
Cross the line,
Lose myself,
Chase my dreams,
Fall in love again.
Because I am not sure,
If in heaven
I could have a second chance,
To face my fears and to fight;
What I believe,
What I love,
Who I am,
Life is not about winning,
It's about trying,
It's not about living,
It's about loving,
Nothing will last forever,
Every moment is meant to love,
The life we have.

Recently I was catching one of the buses from the Plaza to an appointment, when an unruly and belligerent passenger refused to leave the bus and walked over to a fellow passenger (a senior citizen) and started yelling, cussing, calling her names and threatening to hit her. The driver told him that the police were on their way. They hadn't even been called upon.
What the driver should have done was call her supervisor, then the police. The passenger appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.
A week before that I was on a different bus when a teenager boarded who reeked of marijuana. The smell was so overwhelming that a group of us quickly departed.
To protect the public, bus drivers should refuse service to passengers who have been drinking or using drugs.

Ok, i was reading through the news, and found this story:
A German man said Thursday he feared he may have built his own tomb after a vehicle ploughed into his house for the 10th time.
"If we stay, someone's eventually going to kill us. We're living in a time bomb," Manfred Sedlazek, 59, told Reuters.
:Stop there. Wait, The tenth time? Do i need to comment any more on this?
let's continue:
Sedlazek is reluctant to leave the house he built himself, which is on a bend of a busy road, but said it may be his only chance of survival.
...he's reluctant? ten times a vehicle has crashed into his house and he can't decide if he wants to leave? and it MAY be his only chance for survival?..... heres the rest of the story if you care:
Earlier this week, a 40-tonne truck blasted through the side of the red-brick house in the village of Karlshoefen, in northern Germany. Sedlazek returned home from shopping to find the shattered vehicle sticking out of his living room.
Police estimated the damage at more than 100,000 euros ($136,100).
Nine previous smashes into the two-storey building Sedlazek shares with his wife have wrecked his kitchen, bedroom and garden, causing damage worth tens of thousands of euros.

Shop at the Grand Bazaar
Where to Eat
Aslan: Located just steps from the Bazaar, Aslan is an esnaf(tradesman) restaurant, specializing in Turkish home cooking. The selection of delicious hot and cold dishes changes daily in this casual eatery where the focus is on flavors rather than décor.
Havuzlu: A classic among Grand Bazaar restaurants, Havuzlu offers home-made meals, extensive vegetarian options as well as grilled meats and kebab varieties. Make sure you try their traditional Turkish desserts!
Where to Drink
Fes Cafe: When it's time for a coffee break, head to Fes Cafe by the Old Bedesten, located in the heart of the Bazaar. This is the perfect place for a rejuvenating cup of tea or coffee, with tasty light meals to nibble away your exhaustion.
Şark Kahvesi: Revamp your energy with a cup of Turkish coffee at this traditional coffee house.
Whether you have your compulsive shopping under control or not, shopping at the Grand Bazaar is a must do in Istanbul.
With over 4000 stores under one roof, the Grand Bazaar is a retail-therapy dream come true! If you're going to the Grand Bazaar to complete your list of "things to do in Istanbul" and not with the intention of shopping, we've got news for you: you've taken on an inhuman task: going to the Grand Bazaar equals shopping whether you like it or not.
So we've boiled it down to the best of the best, trying to save you some time and effort, and hopefully making your visit a little less chaotic and overwhelming.
But before we list our recommendations, here is what you need to know before you step in the Bazaar and start throwing your valuable dollars around.
First and foremost, don't pressure yourself. Trying to see the entire Grand Bazaar in one afternoon is an unrealistic task. It's more than likely that there won't be enough time or you'll get too tired. Once you accept this, you won't rush from one shop to the next and you'll get to enjoy the extraordinary shopping experience of the Bazaar.
And it's not just the act of buying but the act of bargaining and chatting with sellers that make the Grand Bazaar experience so special and unique. You'll see that the thousands of stores that are lined next to each other sell similar stuff; that's why bargaining works and that's why customer service is crucial. But it's not for the sake of customer service that shop owners chat away with customers and offer them tea—that's just the Turkish way of welcoming visitors.
Although the Grand Bazaar often feels like an overwhelming sensory-overload, especially for first-timers, there are a few ways of making the experience smoother. You'll quickly notice that once you lay your hands on a product, regardless of whether you have the intentions of buying it or not, the shop keeper will "attack" you, trying to close the sale. This is a typical scenario on the main streets of the Bazaar, so we suggest you begin your trip on the side streets where things are bit calmer. Also, keep in mind that the shop keepers of the best shops won't "harass" you to buy their products. Speaking of harassment, you're more than likely to witness men bantering with bazaar-goers, especially women. Some do see this as harassment, but this is just the character of the place. If you hear anyone cracking a joke, just laugh it off and don't take it seriously.
Keep in mind that light and playful bargaining is accepted but don't get aggressive. If you change your mind or don't like the way the bargaining is going, just leave and move on to the next shop.
Having digested all this information, you're now ready to shop away. Even though we tell you the best spots in the Bazaar, you should still rummage your way through the Bazaar just for the fun of it. And remember that this list doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of what the Grand Bazaar has to offer but it does steer you in the right direction.
Carpets & Kilims: With the new airport regulations, you'll be pushing your luck if you try to squeeze a rug or kilim in your luggage. But that surely won't stop you from buying one at the Grand Bazaar. We suggest you head directly to Şişko Osman. A fourth-generation family business, the store features a wide selection of carpets and kilims chosen from all over the country, at all price ranges. Ethnicon stands for two things: ethnic and contemporary. And the store offers just that. You'll find unique, hand-woven carpets and kilims made with a range of colors. Most designs are modeled on existing kilims, with special attention paid to details like tassels. Along a similar vein is Dhoku, another carpet & kilim store by Ethnicon's owner, specializing in contemporary designs.
Leather: If you're after high-quality leather goods at considerably reasonable prices (when compared to the stores in high-end neighborhoods), stop by Koç Deri. Prepare to spend a considerable amount of time trying on anything from classic leather jackets to chic fur coats. For a more minimalist take on leather, stop by Punto Deri.
Turkish Textiles and Goodies: Head to Abdulla for all-natural products, including towels, blankets from Southeast Anatolia, peştemals, and shawls. You'll also find pure olive oil soaps and bath accessories, such as kese (scrub mitt). Sivaslı Istanbul Yazmacısı features a lovely collection of scarves, stockings, gloves, and other ethnic goodies, mostly handmade and featuring Turkish motifs.
Antiques: You'll find tons of antiques and antique-looking objects at the Grand Bazaar. It's standard practice to try to sell antique-looking stuff as antique, so you need to know that where you're going is trustworthy. Sofa is one such store, a collector's heaven, featuring antiques, books, art, furniture, sculptures, and much much more. Everything has a feeling of contemporary meets the not-so-contemporary, which makes the pieces even that much more beautiful and enchanting.
The İç Bedesten inside the Grand Bazaar is one of the oldest sections of the complex with original arched ceilings, and most of the antique shops are located within this space. Eski Fine Arts and Antiques has three separate shops with an array of smaller sized 19th-20th century antiques from various countries formerly in the Ottoman Empire. Paintings, calligraphy, hookahs, backgammon sets, sea-foam pipes, Çanakkale, and items made of silver, ivory, and amber are all stocked up in the lighted glass shop display.
A little bit outside this historical space is Ziya Aykaç who carries 18th-19th century European and Ottoman objects made of silver or porcelain, as well as beautiful hand woven fabrics from Bursa among other regions. If you make your way outside the Grand Bazaar toward Çuhacı Han, you will find the store of Sait Asil which focuses entirely on silver objects for the home that range from silverware to candle holders, as well as mirrors and more on two floors.
Jewelry: You'll find loads of jewelry stores around the Bazaar and you will be tempted over and over again. If you're after something over-the-top, jeweler Sevan Bıçakçı is your man.
Gifts and Souvenirs: Obviously, you can't go back home empty handed. You'll want to buy something to take back with you—either to give as a gift to a friend or to keep for yourself. A relative newcomer to the bazaar, Sasanna Tasarım carries a range of elegant and tasteful gift items. Home and office accessories are produced using high-quality natural materials, such as marble and copper, and embellished with traditional Turkish motifs, making this an ideal place to find gifts. İznik Art specializes in çini (traditional Turkish pottery and tiles)from the western city of Iznik. Iznik tiles are famous the world over, andare ornately decorated in turquoiseand coral-red floral motifs. This storeproduces a wide range of high-qualitytiles and decorative objects in traditionalpatterns, including bowls, jugs, vases, and even mosque lamps.

Work to install traffic lights at two of the city's most dangerous intersections will get underway later this year, New Mexico Department of Transportation officials said.
The lights will be installed at the intersections of Eighth and West Pierce streets (U.S Highway 285) and Callaway Drive and West Pierce Street.
"This is a project people in Carlsbad have wanted for a long time," Bob Kurtz, NMDOT District 2 engineer, told residents and city leaders at a public meeting Thursday.
Kurtz said the project is in the design phase and the installation of the lights will start this winter. The project should be completed in the spring of 2014 and will cost about $600,000.
Tisha Lujan, project development engineer for the department's south region, said the two traffic lights will be about 365 feet apart and a northwest right-hand turn lane will also be built at Callaway Drive.
Kurtz said the right-hand turn lane turn north onto U.S. 285 will alleviate backed up traffic on Callaway Drive. He said the city of Carlsbad has agreed to partner with the state and will do the road work that will be required.
Lujan said in addition to the traffic lights, ramps meeting the American with Disabilities Act will also be improvements at both intersections. The traffic lights will also have interconnecting signals.
Kurtz said when the state did road upgrades to the two intersections about eight years ago, the conduit and electrical boxes were installed at that time.
He said the wiring may have to be upgraded, but the infrastructure is there to connect the traffic lights.
Asked what impact installation of traffic lights and some road work will have on people accessing the hospital's entrances, Kurtz said the entrances won't be blocked off.
He said the new traffic lights will have a signal pre-emption that allows the normal operation of the traffic lights to be pre-empted to allow emergency vehicles to get through faster. The traffic light recognizes the flashing signals on emergency vehicles and stops conflicting traffic to allow the emergency vehicle right-of-way.
City Councilor Janell Whitlock said the installation of the traffic lights will be a big asset for Carlsbad. "It's much needed at those two intersections. There is a lot more traffic there," she added.

Large Family Moms Homeschool Through Chronic Illness and Pregnancy
Posted By Smockity Frocks On April 26, 2012 @ 6:32 am In 4 Moms,Homeschool,Parenting | 4 Comments
With 35+ pregnancies between us there are bound to be some that were laden with difficulties like severe nausea, bed rest, and more, right?
I have never had chronic illness myself, but I have had very difficult pregnancies. During two different pregnancies, when I had three or more children, I have spent up to 30 days in the hospital fighting pre-term labor.
After each of the hospital stays, which successfully stopped my labor, I was sent home to observe strict bed rest [3] until the baby was due. In both cases, I had children who were in the middle of a homeschool year.
As always, homeschooling is done to the best of our abilities, and we work around everyday life. If, as happened with us this week, an emergency room visit [4] is called for in the middle of the school day, we drop our studies and tend to that. If the goats get out and must be gathered up, we close our math books and do what is most urgent. If mom goes to the hospital, the schooling stalls for a little while, and then resumes as we gain our bearings.
Each time I was in the hospital, we had caretakers come to the house during the day while my husband was with me or at work. They did the best they could to have the children do some of their school work, but I knew I would need to do some backtracking when I got home.
I have found that the main thing that is important in dealing with illness or a difficult pregnancy during homeschooling is just to do the best you can and don't stress about the rest.
When I was on bed rest after my hospital stay, I would have the children bring their books to my bed and I would help them from there. We had volunteers who took the children to the library regularly, and I did lots of reading aloud.
I tried not to use the television as a babysitter too much, and when I did, I made sure they were watching educational shows or videos.
The bottom line is that when Mama is ill or debilitated, your homeschool will not be at its best. You get by. You survive. You put one foot in front of the other. You do what little you can each day, and then you do it again the next.
You aren't at your best, but one day you will feel better, and you will gird up your loins and ramp up your efforts and make up for lost time.

text: Armstrong Stripped of Tour de France Titles USADA yanks all 7 titles, bans him from sport for life By Mary Papenfuss, Newser Staff Posted Aug 23, 2012 10:46 PM CDT | Updated Aug 24, 2012 10:57 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (131) (Newser) – The US Anti-Doping Agency has officially stripped Lance Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles and banned him from the sport for life for doping, after saying it would do so last night. That announcement came after Armstrong dropped further challenges to USADA accusations that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win the premier bike race from 1999 to 2005, reports the Wall Street Journal. "There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, 'Enough is enough,'" Armstrong said in a statement. "The toll this has taken on my family and on me leads me to where I am today—finished with this nonsense." Though Armstrong has admitted nothing, dropping his fight is viewed by the agency as an admission of guilt, notes AP. Armstrong insists the USADA has no authority to strip him of his titles, though agency head Travis Tygart says it does. The decision could be appealed by the International Cycling Union, the governing body of the sport, but it has never before challenged a decision of the USADA. The UCI this morning said it will wait for the USADA to explain why Armstrong should be stripped of them before commenting on the case, noting the World Anti-Doping Code requires this in cases "where no hearing occurs." Tour de France organizers are also holding off on commenting. Lance Armstrong grimaces prior to the start of the third stage of the Tour de France in 2010. He's got a lot more to grimace about now.

Unless you've been living under a rock, there's been some crazy shit happening up here this past week. I don't need to rehash it, because you can all turn on any news channel and get the idea.
Unlike the events of 9/11, this one hit much closer to home. First, there's the physical proximity. I don't live in Boston, but I am within close reach, being only 30 miles away. When I get away from New England, I tell people I'm from "near Boston" because it's easier to state proximity to a major city rather than telling people you're from a state without a major city, which usually just invites blank looks.
Second, I have friends who live in Boston. When I heard that the city had shelter-in-place orders, my thoughts immediately went to those friends. They quickly confirmed their safety via social media, and continued to update throughout the day, but of course I was still worried for them because no one knew what would happen.
And then there's the day of. Being so close to the city, it's not unusual that one of my friends or family from up here would go into the city for the day. And that day, one of my friends was in the city, taking his son to Fenway Park for the first time. When the news broke and shit got real, I texted him to see if he was ok and quickly got a short text back confirming. Later his Facebook update told of how they had to walk 3 miles from Kenmore Square to North Station, but they did it safely and were able to make it home in time for dinner.
I did end up breaking down that night. See, my friend's son is the same age as the youngest victim. THAT is what really brought it home for me.
I continued to fight back tears as the week went on, not only because I kept thinking about the victims and my friends' proximity to the blasts, but also because of the Boston pride that emerged. Boston Strong. Everywhere I looked, people were refusing to back down. Hilarious pictures about Boston's resilience showed up on Facebook. Tributes dominated sporting events all over the country, and every team became a part of Red Sox Nation.
Then Friday happened. Boston and surrounding cities shut down after a deadly rampage. Friends were stuck at home, our corporate office was closed, and everyone I know was glued to the news, hoping that the suspect would be found and we could breathe again. Finally, that evening, they got him. I cried again. Cried because I was proud of the law enforcement officers that didn't give up until they caught this guy. Cried because I have close friends and family who are in law enforcement. I'm thankful for what they do for us every single day, and proud that they're amongst those that are closest to me. And of course I cried because of my love for Boston, a city that showed the world we don't let anything get us down.
On Monday morning as I drove to work, one week after the blasts, I passed an electronic message board that said only one thing:
We are Boston Strong.

The Reporter
( Originally Published 1916 )
His dealings with reporters who affect a weekly bust
J. B. McCULLAGH, famous as manager of the St. Louis Globe Democrat, the " Little Mack " of the poem, once defined successful news-getting as the art of knowing where " hell was going to break loose next and having a man there."
The man " is the reporter upon whom falls the chief burden of the trade. He is ubiquitous and versatile, possessing a heaven-born quality, called " the nose for news." Like much talent in other lines it may lie latent, awaiting some discoverer, but once made known it flourishes. The " nose for news" is a very real, but scarce and most valuable proboscis ! Under present-day workings, the writing side is the least of the newspaper's troubles. Re-write men and trained copy readers shape up the stuff. The problem is to get it. That is the reporter's job.
Dr. Talcott Williams, Dean of the School of Journalism at Columbia University, New York, gives an apt illustration of the lacking sense. The " kid" reporter sent out from the office of the Philadelphia Press to " cover "three assignments turned in two at the night desk and was departing for home when the Night City Editor, checking up his schedule, asked for a report on the third--a wedding. "Oh," said the boy, " there wasn't anything to write. There wasn't any wed-ding. The bridegroom didn't show up ! "
Here is the lesson of " knowing news." Next to knowing news it is important to know how to write it. That can be taught. Indeed, I got my first knowledge from Simeon Drake, who instructed me in the printer's trade in the old Advertiser office at Norway, Maine. I was printer's " devil," but as I worked for nothing and boarded myself, my liberty was considerable and my privileges many. Uncle Sim wanted items. He thought a boy who loafed around as much as I did ought to pick up a few. I rather timidly thought so, too, but effort soon showed that the picking was bad. For the life of me I couldn't see anything or hear of anything in Norway worth printing. But during six unfruitful weeks' search an item had been rapidly growing in the garden next door. Uncle Granville Reed's two hills of Southern corn had hustled until the tallest stalk was thirteen feet high. Like a flash the importance of the event possessed me and I sat down to "write it up." Try as I would, I could not seem to get the words together, and finally the struggle resulted in a measly little paragraph to the effect that " Granville Reed had a stalk of Southern corn in his garden thirteen feet high." When I handed it in Mr. Drake looked at it critically, took off his glasses and looked at it again, cleared his throat a couple of times and then taught me my first and fundamental lesson in journalism, big or little.
" You don't say who Mr. Reed is," he began, " you don't tell us where he lives and you don't make any point that is complimentary to him."
Mr. Drake rarely wrote anything, but set his matter up out of his head from a much used case of bourgeois. In a few minutes he gave me the item to read in the composing stick. In its new form it ran something like this:
Former Selectman Granville Reed has an agricultural wonder growing in his well-kept garden on upper Main street in the shape of a stalk of corn which under his able attention has gained the extraordinary height of thirteen feet." " You will notice," he said gently, "that I have cut out the word ` Southern ' before ` corn.' Southern corn ought to be thirteen feet high."
Here it was all in a nutshell! State the facts, nothing but the facts, but state all of them attractively and if possible amazingly.
There is interest in almost everything, and it is the newspaper maker's business to find it and make it plain to his readers. He who does this has succeeded.
The late Professor Thomas Davidson, most learned of men, once asked Joseph Pulitzer why he was so tolerant kindly towar reporters and so severe in his judgement of editors.
" Because," he replied, " a reporter is always a hope and an editor always a disappointment."
One reason for the frequent truth of the epigram was that too often a good reporter had been taken from the task for which he was so well fitted and made an editor with disappointing results. It is not given man to possess too many perfections. The good news-getter is not always a good writer, and less often a good administrator. To reward the reporter with a deserved promotion too frequently lands him in failure and disrepute.
From twenty to thirty in the life of a man, no more agreeable profession can be selected for him who has the instinct for news-getting and the itch to write. The rewards are considerable. For a reporter succeeds from the outset. He " makes good or fails promptly. His is not the experience of the young lawyer, doctor or business man, slowly picking up his load. He reaches his task full grown or not at all. True, he can find lodgement in certain lines of mediocrity, but if he has it in him to be a reporter of merit, the fact is soon revealed and at once rewarded. But as it is a form of precocity the end comes sooner than in other lines. For being a reporter is eminently a young man's job. He is always on assignments. Home ties are scant and friends few. He must ever be alert and at the command of the relentless " desk." One assignment rules until it is supplanted by another. He has no hours, but must be ready on call. The dailies grant each man his day off, but it is often intruded upon and the sense of responsibility is always with him. He must learn to write accurately without revision and to think ahead of his pen. his personality is ordinarily hidden, though most news-papers now make known the men who do unusual things.
What are the rewards? Well, they are worth while. Pay in the large offices will run from $3000 to $6000 and even occasion-ally to $10,000 a year for men who can discover news and write it effectively. That greatest of American reporters, James Creelman, rarely received less than the latter sum. The making of valuable acquaintances is an important factor. It has led to the graduating of many reporters into other lines of success.
There is always a chance for promotion outside of the profession, if the inside fails to open up. Bankers, railroads and great corporations have recruited much brain force from the ranks of the reporters.
In our earlier journalism of opinion and. partisanship the reporter had but a small place. His efforts to relate anything outside of a court proceeding or a political convention were resented bitterly and offensively. He was regarded as a sneak, as an impertinent intruder, where he endeavored to get the facts of personal or social matters. Crime was his only legitimate concern.
" You fellows thrive on calamity," once said old Commodore Fillebrown, Command-ant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, to me when I was trying to get at the facts of the Greely Arctic disaster. He really thought the cannibalism and tragic story of the luck-less expedition was none of a newspaper's business. Indeed, all was suppressed until Tracy Greaves, a New York Times reporter, picked a chance word from a sailor's lips and let in the light. This was as late as 1884!
But in earlier days few doors opened to the reporter. New York was particularly repelling. James Gordon Bennett, the elder, wrote all of the Herald's contents at its-start in 1835. He devoted his news-getting mainly to Wall Street. The social news was mostly mockery of events to which he was not invited. But people bought the Herald for these satirical glimpses of what was going on. In due time reporters were added, and added, until there was a " staff," the first to be had by any newspaper in America. Then the staff " began to demand admission at social' and semi-social affairs—to such purpose that at last a Herald reporter was actually admitted to Henry I. Brevoort's fancy dress ball, the social event of the period. Let Philip Hone, in his celebrated diary, reveal the horror of it all! Writing under date of February 25, 1840, of "the great affair," of which he makes a very tolerable report himself, and where he appeared as Cardinal Wolsey "as grand robe of new scarlet merino," he gays :
" Some surprise was expressed at seeing in the crowd a man in the habit of a knight in armour, a Mr. Attree, reporter and one ,of the editors of an infamous paper called the Herald. Bennett, the principal editor, called upon Mr. Brevoort to obtain permission for this person to be present to report in his paper an account of the ball. He consented, as I believe I should have done under the same circumstances, as by doing it a sort of obligation was imposed upon him to refrain from abusing the house, the people of the house, and their guests which would have been done in case of a denial. But this is a hard alternative ; to submit to this kind of surveillance is getting to be intolerable and nothing but the force of public opinion will correct the insolence, which, it is to be feared, will never be applied gentlemen make as long as Mr. Charles A. Davis and other this Mr. Attree ` hail fellow, well met,' as they did on this occasion. . Whether the notice they took of him, and that which they extend to Bennett when he shows his ugly face in Wall Street, may be considered approbatory of the daily slanders and unblushing impudence of the paper they conduct, or is intended to purchase their forbearance toward themselves, the effect is equally mischievous. It affords them countenance and encouragement and they find that the more personalities they have in their papers, the more they sell !
Sad enough! Yet the day after the ball Mr. Bone wrote himself down as had as the rest of the curious-minded public whom Mr. Bennett sought to capture when he pencilled this note in his diary:
" The Herald of this morning contains a description of Mr. Brevoort's house; but, as it was an implied condition of the reporter's admission that it should be decent, it was tame, flat and tasteless ! "
A far cry from this to 1894, when Ward McAllister, arbiter of the " 400 at Mrs.
Astor's famous ball, became a writer on social topics for the New York World'
It took many years for this umbrage at the reporting of social events to wear off and make the reporter welcome. Indeed, there is one place yet on the map where it is not even now permitted to record a social event, though the editors and owners of the papers may be among those present. That is Charleston, S. C., which possesses in the News and Courier the oldest newspaper in continuous publication in America.
Yet the reporter can be truly credited with performing a great public service in these United States. He has destroyed aristocracy. His eager search for the interesting, his desire to reveal the notable, whether it be in an extravagant social function, the bride's costume, or the habits of the rich, has resulted in a universal levelling. This is a truly democratic country to-day, and it is so because the reporter has banished mystery and made all men and all things appear as they really are!
Nor is there longer " impertinence " or " intrusion." Sensible people know the value of publicity. Honest folk welcome it. The society reporter instead of being repelled is overworked.
" But how can I become a reporter?" one question often asked of a newspaper manager. About the best way is' to hang around until the City Editor is able to see " you, or until you are convinced that he can't, " Bring in an item," is the best introduction. A newspaper office is a place of chance. Being on the spot is the surest way to secure consideration.
Many great reporters and great men were to be found on the staff of the New York Sun in the Dana days. One of these, who afterwards became a first citizen of the city, got on the staff in this fashion : Tiring of college at Cornell, he came to New York with the help of $10, borrowed from William O. Wyckoff, then an Ithacan stenographer, later to become the head of the great Remington typewriter firm of Wyckoff, Seamans and Benedict, with letters to the managing editor and the chief of the Sun's staff. He first attacked the man-aging editor. Nothing to be had, perhaps the chief had something, would like to oblige the introducer, but just couldn't. An interview with the chief produced the same .result, with a kindly reference back to the managing editor.
Now if he had been an ordinary young man he would have gone away. He was not. The next day at office hours he dropped into the Sun factory and took a vacant desk and began scribbling. There are always vacant desks in the City room. Pretty soon the managing editor came in and gave him a friendly nod; later the great editor, who noted with pleasure that the boy had " found something." Presently all the reporters were sent out on one errand or another. The managing editor stuck his head out of his cage and looked about. Seeing no one but the adventurer he asked if he was free. He was. " Well, take this." He " took " it, got it—and was on the staff as long as he cared to stay!
John N. Bogart, eminent as the city editor of the Sun, got his start by applying in writing to Amos J. Cummings and enclosing a photo.
It had been hand-colored and, showed him wearing a red necktie and a green vest. Mr. Cummings thought a man daring enough to be so garbed, and proud of it, would do. He did!
Mr. Cummings, who was himself a master reporter, made his start on the Tribune. He had been one of Walker's filibusters in the last luckless expedition to Nicaragua and then went into the Northern Army, serving through the war. When mustered out he applied to Horace Greeley in person for a job. Mr. Greeley was in a temper and " d—d sick," as he expressed it, of the place-seeking soldiers. He said he couldn't hire the whole blamed army, which seemed to be pestering him for places. Amos persisted, saying he needed work badly. " Show me some good reason! " squeaked the great editor. Amos stepped back, turned about and gracefully parting the tails of his army coat revealed ample evidence for need of employment. He was set, to work and soon had a whole pair of trousers! The greatest assignment ever given a reporter was that curt word of James Gordon Bennett the younger, to Henry M. Stanley: " Go and find Living-stone ! " He went, found him and opened Africa to the world! Stanley's name stands at the head of the legion of newspaper writers. In after years he became very often the pursued instead of the pursuer.
Some short time following his marriage to Miss Dorothy Tennant, an evil rumor reached the Paris Herald that there was some infelicity. It was not true. Stanley and his bride were located at a quiet resort in the Tyrol. Aubrey Stanhope, the best man on the staff, was forthwith hurried away to interrogate the explorer. He knew the temper of the man and was quite aware of the bad taste of his mission. But he obeyed orders and in due season came into the prés ence of Bula Matari. The " Breaker of the Path" was very glad to see him. It was lonely at the hotel, Mrs. Stanley was ill and in retirement. The great man had no one to talk to. For two days he poured out his feelings. Then he said, " I've been very selfish, Stanhope, done all the talking and haven't given you a chance. Come, now, tell me what you are after. Is it Africa?"
Poor Aubrey summoned all his resolution. " No, Mr. Stanley," he said desperately. "It isn't Africa. Do you beat your wife? " Under his breath he added: " Now kill me." He saw Stanley's fingers tighten into the palms of his hands, and prepared for the worst. The fingers relaxed as the explorer gasped: God! I used to do that myself ! "
Resourcefulness is a very necessary reportorial attribute. I know of no better example than one afforded by Henry L. Terry, a very able member of the craft. When night city editor of the New York Recorder, I sent him to Bloomingdale asylum to verify a tip that a patient had been scalded to death an overheated bath. It was nine at night when he reached the asylum, so he was denied admission. Going to another entrance he gave such an effective imitation of an escaped lunatic who wanted to get back that he was admitted, taken to the superintendent and-got the story!
The political reporter has perhaps the most satisfactory assignment and is most likely to earn promotion to the rank of correspondent at the State or the National Capital. His occupation brings him into close contact with men of affairs and is free from the irksomeness of routine.
" Shakspeer," sagely observed Mr. Artemus Ward in his celebrated essay on " Forts " "rote good plase, but he wouldn't have succeeded as a Washington correspondent dent of a New York daily paper. He lack't the rekesit fancy and imagginashun." This is a pretty high tribute, but, jesting aside, the place calls for great talent and usually secures it from the ranks of the working reporters. To know men, politics, government, ambassadors and the complications of parties is to know much and to enjoy the knowledge more !

Louisiana Tech finished 2011 with its best recruiting class to date based on the Rivals.com star ratings. Sonny Dykes and his staff continued where they left off in 2011 and got its first commitment from a 3-star quarterback.Ryan Higgins is that 3-star quarterback and chose Louisiana Tech over Memphis. More offers should come rolling in for Higgins during his senior campaign however. Higgins felt comfortable with Tech and its coaching staff and it ultimately is one of the primary reasons he committed to the Bulldogs."I felt like [Tech] is the best fit for me and I like the coaching staff as well; as did my parents and coached here at Hutto. [The Tech coaches] show a genuine interest in me and they all are up front and honest with me. They all show they want me there, and that means a lot. They're also easy to talk to and I get along with them," said Higgins. Mark Tommerdahl is Higgins recruiter and went out to Hutton, Tx. a few months ago and watched him throw. "[Coach Mark Tommerdahl] came down and watched me throw after school several months ago. He said he knew they would offer because I could do everything they could ask of me. Shortly after that, I called [Tech] and they offered," explained Higgins.In a wide open offense, the quarterback is the most important position. Higgins said he's excited about the style of the offense."My favorite part of the offense is getting to throw the ball a lot. The "Air Raid" offense is a perfect fit for me. I plan on breaking records," said Higgins.In his junior campaign, the Rivals.com 3-star rated quarterback threw for 2200 yards and amassed 28 total touchdowns.

Cornwall's Championship hopes still alive despite tough day
Posted: September 11, 2012|
at Boscawen Park
The Minor Counties Championship final is up for grabs today at Truro.
Cornwall and Buckinghamshire will both fancy their chances, providing the weather does not play too big a part. There will be a minimum of 102 overs today with play commencing at 10.30am, as the time lost earlier in the match has been made up.
Buckinghamshire require a further 169 runs with seven wickets remaining, after an absorbing day of Championship cricket yesterday.
The day began with Cornwall in some trouble at 59 for four. When Taylor Williams was caught behind off Faisal Ali in the fifth over of the morning, the home support might have feared the worst.
Nerves were eased as Tom Sharp and Neil Curnow added 44 before Sharp was caught at slip for 18. It was 105 for six and the lead only 157.
Just as in the first innings, the seventh-wicket pair came to the rescue. This time it was Chris Hunkin and Curnow who combined, adding a crucial 68 runs.
The partnership was broken after lunch , when Hunkin was bowled for 45 by one of Shaftkab Khalib's off-breaks, and the innings fell away as Tom Hughes was leg-before without scoring.
Curnow then fell to the new ball when he was caught at slip by Jason Harrison off Doug King. Shakil Ahmed was the last to go when he was caught at backward point by a diving Joel Pope.
Cornwall were all out for 197 but that was not the end of the drama. Regulations that only apply to the final sees a six-run penalty added for every over not bowled below the 17-over per-hour average.
At first, Cornwall received a generous-looking 24-run penalty, but after lengthy discussions at tea match referee Phil Caley announced a miscalculation and the revised penalty was reduced to 12 runs.
It meant Cornwall's innings was increased to 209 and a victory target of 262 set.
The Buckinghamshire innings got off to a poor start when they lost Alex Morgan, bowled by Sharp in the seventh over. It got better for the hosts when key man Mal Loye was caught at backward point by Jake Libby for three off Ahmed.
Faisim Qureshi and Michael Payne then frustrated the home attack by putting on 66 over 35 overs. Qureshi went in the last half hour, however, when he found Sharp at mid-off, with Sam Hockin taking the wicket.
In failing light, the day ended with Buckinghamshire on 93 for three. It is all is set up for a great finale to the season at Boscawen Park today, when Cornwall will be hoping to make history.

Could it be Fiddlewood, Citharexylum spinosum, native to West Indies?
Bright green foliage turning a pink/orange colour in spring. It would be semi-deciduous in your area. New branch growth is initially square in section.
Has been fairly popular as an ornamental in warm areas, but generally too large for suburban yards.Brian

Also a real pest as far as the roots getting into drains and dropping lots of leaves & flowers. Very popular ornimental in the 70 & 80's but a bit out of favour now.
I cant find anythink about the trimber quality but you can't judge it by its common name, there are more fiddlewoods than you can poke a horse haired bow at. Might be time to experiment.

Yellow fiddle wood
The fiddlewood grows well even down here in South Australia. In Elizabeth some 30 or 40 years back, it must have been a popular craze growing them. Now, they are dissappearing because they have reached up to the highest point of most houses, and clogged the gutters, deigning them to the MackAxe.
The one that lives next door to me is going to be pruned down so I was told just today, so I will try to do my first ever, timber drying effort.Buzza.

I've used a bit of fiddlewood. Its medium weight, dries well, interesting dark line just under the surface. It has a most obnoxious smell when being worked. Not a wood I would ever seek out.

A recent survey of shopping preferences revealed that the most popular items among foreign tourists are beauty products (32%), followed by fashion products (23%), performances (16%), and food and groceries (12%). The popularity of beauty products is attributed to their reasonable prices and outstanding quality.
The survey, titled "What's On Your Korean Shopping Wish List?", had been carried out by the Visit Korea Committee on the 2013 Korea Grand Sale website from December 3, 2013 through January 25, 2013. A total of 3,025 people from all over the world (China 55%, Japan 21%, Southeast Asia 16%, Europe/North & South America 6%) participated in the survey.
Meanwhile, the Korea Grand Sale is an annual nationwide sale event, during which businesses representing diverse industries such as shopping, tourism, accommodation, dining, and performances offer discounts on their products and services to foreign tourists.
