Curious about the Past? Research Your Genealogy
Marsh, Kathy, The Florida Times Union
Byline: KATHY MARSH
"We've uncovered some embarrassing ancestors in the not-too-distant past. Some horse thieves, and some people killed on Saturday nights. One of my relatives, unfortunately, was even in the newspaper business." - Former President Jimmy Carter.
Family reunions can be a great place to jump-start the study of your family's lineage. One thing is certain; there is something special about being in a roomful of people who are all related to one another. It is the perfect place to climb the family tree and do some amateur genealogy. Author Gail Buckley said, "Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future."
I was invited to a family reunion in 1997, where I met my birth mother for the first time. Having been adopted as an infant, I had little information on my background. Imagine my surprise when I learned, through a newly discovered cousin with an interest in genealogy, that my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was John Hart, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
If you're attending a family reunion, think about talking "genealogy." Ask everyone to bring photos and try to identify any that are not labeled. It's a great way to get everyone talking and recognizing family features, like Uncle Louie's nose, or Aunt Helen's chin.
Fleming Island Library associate Joyce Bak, in charge of Genealogy and Local History, suggests a book titled: To Our Children's Children: Preserving Family Histories for Generations to Come, by Bob Green and D.J. Fulford. Acting like a conversation sparkplug, it lists questions children could ask relatives. Family elders are a priceless source for family history and they all have stories to tell. A few good questions for grandparents are:
What was your mother's father's name? What did you call them? Where were they born? Why did they move to this country, state, etc.? Did they know people here? What did they do for a living?
Did they have brothers and sisters? Names, married names, names of their children.
Where did you go to school? Did you like school, favorite subject, etc.?
Bak has found that most people don't really know where to start researching their family history. She has been asked questions like: "Where can I find the book on my family's genealogy/history?" Unless someone in the family wrote one, there isn't one.
And "how can I pull up a birth, marriage or death certificate on the Internet?" No vital records are online unless you write for them, and prove relationship to the person.
Bak offers these suggestions to get started: Always, start with yourself and work backward. Use pedigree and family group records from the very beginning of your search; this will keep you organized and focused on what you have and what you need.
She suggests joining a group to gain assistance, share information and make connections. …

Here's to monday. Endure!
Here's to monday. Endure!
Damn Yous!
1 hour! This has to be it!
could this be it ?
Final week GO!
This is the end, beautiful friend.
Investigation team GO!
Could be! I even tweeted the episode, kind of like how everyone did for the last episode of lost last night. Ugh.
" This is the end, beautiful friend. "
Oh man I've been thinking about this all weekend!
Rain Coat Killer!!!!!!
Yay, lets see some action !
Aha, Is this our chance?!
Sweet enduring nectar...
Is it...?
Sweeeet! The finale!
loving the idea that zombies practise shooting
Yes! i have been looking forward to this..
Those corrugated steal doors reminded me of the doors to boss rooms in megaman. I wonder if they where inspired by.
I dunno, they lay the whole Emily thing on pretty thick. I don't think I can buy into it.
You're fucking kidding me? Duder/broken at 43:26?
Edit: Sorry, seems to be broken on Progressive, Streaming works though.
And now the stunning conclusion!
Wow, that magnum was nice.
No conclusion yet. Nice job on the boss fight though, guys. Yes, it could have been done faster, but they played it safe and avoided dying or any serious injuries.
Endurance run endure, steaks for all!
Great, now I know why Kaysen is holding the young tree >__>
I am here to COMMENT!
sounds like Jeff knows his weapon safety rules
I'm more excited to see the return of Quint's car than I am the final fight of Blanka.
George has made me see deer in a different light.
An erotic light.
Blanka has a wicked axe!
I nearly choked on my beer when Jeff said "You'll have to fight me with this shovel" XD
Should totally fix the break in the Progressive video mode, unless it's already fixed now.
I loved this Endurance Run series, but I cannot wait for it to end. I need some sleep.
i stood still for the most part in the boss battle with the axe throwing.
you can shoot the axes out of the air (no need to evade) then after you do that he will turn slightly showing his back.
This stair music is amazing. Don't you agree Zach?
Hehe. @45:00 he does a move cancel.
" i stood still for the most part in the boss battle with the axe throwing. you can shoot the axes out of the air (no need to evade) then after you do that he will turn slightly showing his back. "Even easier - use the shotgun. You just need to aim it in his general direction. Every time he pulls back to throw an axe, you can shoot him since it exposes his weak point a bit. Makes the boss fight ridiculously quick and easy, for both forms.

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Maggie Harvey Trust (MHT) JustGiving page.
Maggie was a vivacious and loveable person who loved life. She sadly passed away in November 2011 finally defeated by the brain cancer that had afflicted her for 17 months following diagnosis. Thankfully she continued to live life to the full during this period, spending beautiful times with her family and friends...shopping, eating-out and drinking more than the odd glass of wine as she enjoyed the companionship of her loved ones. Precious memories for us all especially her children, sister, close friends and family, and thankfully her grandson, Luca.
Her diagnosis with Glioblastoma Multiforme in 2010 was an unexpected blow that turned her world upside down. Determined as ever, Maggie focused on fighting this devastating disease and helping others in a similar situation. This determination has been instrumental in the founding of the Maggie Harvey Trust, which has been created to provide much needed funding for research into this form of brain tumour. Maggie wanted you to be part of her vision and to help towards researching causes, treatments and ultimately a cure.
" My diagnosis with a Glioblastoma Multiforme last year was a huge blow, not just for me but for my family as well, and I have fought the disease with as much determination and courage as I can. However, one of the things that has been most difficult for all of us has been the lack of information about the way Glioblastomas behave. This lack of information, and my desire to try to improve the journey and outcome for others, has been the motivating force in setting up the Maggie Harvey Trust, which will fund research to find a cure for this form of cancer." Maggie Harvey
Maggie's family would like to thank all those who have donated to MHT. It was her personal commitment to make a difference and thanks to your generosity and kindness her wishes will be realised.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it's the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.

YarnCraft Episode 02 :: Knitters & Crocheters Get Inspired
30 Oct
Please note: Due to technical issues, this episode is no longer available.
In our second episode of YarnCraft, we discuss inspiration — the colors, textures, and ideas that make us want to knit and crochet.
First, Jessica Abo and Zontee Hou discuss your feedback to our first episode. Jessica and Zontee are once again joined by Liz Shaw, and we find out what's on their needles and hooks. Zontee is making a variation of our Curtain Call Shrug and Liz is making a sweater using the brioche stitch based on our Ultimate Sweater. Jessica also speaks with Karen Tanaka, Creative Director of Lion Brand, and finds out how yarn colors are inspired.
Zontee interviews Glampyre Knits blogger Stefanie Japel and finds out what inspired her to write Fitted Knits, how she got started designing, and what's in store in her next book. Read an excerpt from Fitted Knits previously featured in our newsletter here.
Liz and Zontee also share some of the Lion Brand patterns they find inspirational:
Basketweave Cape
Best Bunny
Whiter Shade of Pale Car Coat
They also recommend our Pattern Finder and our Stitch Finder for more inspiration.
Finally, Liz, Karen, and Zontee discuss inspiration boards during our segment "Stash This: Ideas for Your Crafting Life." Join us at the end of every episode for new ideas. Check out Flickr for some great examples of inspiration boards.
To leave your comments and thoughts, post a message on the blog, email to yarncraft [at] lionbrand [dot] com! We may even feature you in an upcoming episode! For our next episode, tell us about the best (or worst) knit or crochet gift that you've given or received.

HOUSTON — Kyle Lowry scored a season-high 33 points, Kevin Martin hit four free throws in the final seconds of overtime and the Houston Rockets beat the Portland Trail Blazers 107-105 on Saturday night.
LaMarcus Aldridge's basket with 23 seconds left in regulation sent the game into overtime tie at 97. Portland lost its third straight game.
Martin, who finished with 28 points, scored Houston's final six points in overtime with a layup and four free throws over the final 32 seconds of the extra period.
Nicolas Batum had a season-high 29 points to lead Portland. Aldridge had 22 points and 10 rebounds.
After trailing much of the game, Portland rallied from an 84-76 deficit at the start of the fourth quarter to take a 91-90 lead on three free throws by Jamal Crawford, who was fouled by Martin while attempting a 3-pointer with 6:20 to play.
Gerald Wallace added a layup for a 93-90 lead but the Rockets weren't finished. Lowry's 3-point basket with 31 seconds left gave Houston a 97-95 lead and then Aldridge's jumper tied it with 23 seconds remaining, sending the game into overtime.
Houston fought hard for a 58-53 halftime lead after leading by 14 points in the second quarter.
Lowry bailed them out with hot shooting late in the third period for an 84-76 lead going into the final quarter. Lowry had 11 points in the third.
Houston had to deal with foul trouble beginning in the second quarter when starters Luis Scola and Samuel Dalembert each picked up their third fouls and the each got their fourth early in the third.
The Rockets led 50-36 with 3:36 to go in the second quarter but had to withstand a 3-point shooting performance by Batum to keep their five-point halftime lead.
Batum hit five of his six first half 3-point baskets, including three in the final three minutes of the second quarter to keep the Trail Blazers within striking distance. He finished hitting 6 of 7 from 3-point range.
Houston used an 11-0 spurt to take the early first quarter lead and held a 27-21 lead at the end of the quarter. Lowry had 11 points and Dalembert grabbed seven rebounds to help the Rockets.
NOTES: The Rockets have built double digit leads in each of their last five games. They are 3-2 in those games. … Houston has won 21 of the last 29 games against Portland. The Trail Blazers are 2-13 in their last 15 games at Toyota Center. … Marcus Camby left Portland's last game with a left ankle sprain. X-rays were negative but he sat out Saturday night's game. Camby leads the Trail Blazers with 8.2 rebounds and 1.27 blocked shots per game.

Coral Bleaching in American Samoa
You're running out of time to see one of nature's most spectacular sites, writes Tom Philpott in Mother Jones. American Samoa is just one of the locations affected by a massive coral bleaching event. [more inside]
By comparison to what it could have been, it's a miracle. By comparison to what it should have been, it's a disaster. - A historic deal has been struck in Paris to reduce carbon emissions and reduce global warming, with a ceiling of 2 degrees centigrade and a goal of 1.5C. 2015 has been the hottest year on record.
after all this / tell them about the water / how we have seen it rising
Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner is a poet and climate activist from the Marshall Islands. Recently, she performed her poem Tell them at a protest calling for fossil fuel divestment at the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference. Transcript on Democracy Now. [more inside]
"Looking forward, the models see red"
25 years of climate talk history in one comic: Richard Monastersky & Nick Sousanis explore the history of climate treaty negotiations in Nature's special Paris Climate Talks issue. The goal of the Paris Talks is to limit emissions so that Earth won't warm by more than 2°C, and there are many reasons to be optimistic about the prospects for an agreement - but what will it really take to limit warming to 2°C??
"Guilt is good! It's the flip side of empathy."
The Paris-based magazine Télérama have published a conversation between Thom Yorke and author/activist George Monbiot. Yorke is a professed fan of Monbiot's writing, and throughout the interview, the two men discussed climate change.Throughout the conversation, Yorke and Monbiot discuss how they've responded to climate change in their day-to-day lives—becoming vegetarian, Radiohead's carbon neutral touring initiative, and so on. Yorke said that for a time, figuring out how to reduce his carbon footprint became an obsession.
"I have not met a single human being who's motivated by bad news,"
The Weight of the World: Can Christiana Figueres persuade humanity to save itself? by Elizabeth Kolbert [New Yorker]
Of all the jobs in the world, Figueres's may possess the very highest ratio of responsibility (preventing global collapse) to authority (practically none). The role entails convincing a hundred and ninety-five countries—many of which rely on selling fossil fuels for their national income and almost all of which depend on burning them for the bulk of their energy—that giving up such fuels is a good idea. When Figueres took over the Secretariat, in 2010, there were lots of people who thought the job so thankless that it ought to be abolished. This was in the aftermath of the fifteenth COP, held in Copenhagen, which had been expected to yield a historic agreement but ended in anger and recrimination.
Chinchorro mummies and climate change
The Chinchorro mummies are found in northern Chile and southern Peru; the oldest of them date to thousands of years before the first Egyptian mummies. Some of them mummified naturally, but most were intentionally mummified. The hot, arid conditions of the Atacama desert aided in this process. However, these mummies are now the latest victims of climate change, as increased humidity encourages bacterial growth that is transforming them into black ooze.

Changing climates of history
Neither Thucydides, Gibbon, von Ranke, nor Braudel ever cited a paper appearing in Geophysical Research Letters. They did not worry themselves about fluctuations in the Siberian High or the Southern Oscillation. The vast majority of more recent historians also remained untroubled by such concerns. However, in the past five years, a handful of highly distinguished historians have come out with new books that put climate at the center of historical explanation. What on Earth is going on?

Losing Ground
Climate change and contemporary fiction
"Novels are no use at all in days like these, for they deal with people and their relationships, with fathers and mothers and daughters or sons and lovers, etc., with souls, usually unhappy ones, and with society etc., as if the place for all these things were assured, the earth for all time earth, the sea level fixed for all time."

That's a lot of decaying plant matter
Word association time: I say "peat", you say… "Scotland", right? Not necessarily! Peat is found around the world, including in many African countries. Earlier this year, scientists trekked through a Congo swamp, braving gorillas, elephants, crocodiles, and more. Their reward? Discovery of a peat bog the size of England. The team estimates that the bog covers between 100,000 and 200,000 square kilometers (40,000 to 80,000 sq miles), with the peat-layer reaching up to 7m (23ft) beneath the ground.

Scripps Institute of Oceanography projects that next month its monitoring station will for the first time measure CO2 at 400 parts per million. Atmospheric CO2 has risen from 280 parts per million before the Industrial Revolution. 400 ppm is an arbitrary milestone that we'll blow right past on our way to 450 ppm within a few decades. This is an unprecedentedly fast rate of increase and it's getting faster. Not all measuring stations are exactly the same: A NOAA station in the Arctic measured CO2 at 400 ppm last year.

Getting Warmer...
Was climate science the real reason the strategic dynamos on the UVA board wanted president Teresa Sullivan gone? The fund manager behind the coup is "very, very angry" that I would even ask… In a three-part series (1, 2, 3) of muckraking blog posts, journalist Moe Tkacik investigates the possibility that the failed ouster of President Teresa Sullivan from the University of Virginia (previously) might have been motivated not by vague conflicts over Internet-based distance learning, as had been speculated — but instead by global-warming-denial politics, with the coup plotters on the Board opposing Sullivan over the hire of climate scientist Michael Mann (previously).

A Message from a Republican on Climate Change: I'm going to tell you something that my Republican friends are loath to admit out loud: climate change is real. I'm a moderate Republican, fiscally conservative; a fan of small government, accountability, self-empowerment and sound science. I am not a climate scientist. I'm a Penn State meteorologist, and the weather maps I'm staring at are making me very uncomfortable.
Sixteen Concerned Scientists
"Speaking for many scientists and engineers who have looked carefully and independently at the science of climate, we have a message to any candidate for public office: There is no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to "decarbonize" the world's economy. Even if one accepts the inflated climate forecasts of the IPCC, aggressive greenhouse-gas control policies are not justified economically." Link. [more inside]
Boiling like a pot

Carbon dioxide emissions increased by the largest amount on record in 2010, exceeding the worst case scenario outlined by the IPCC four years ago.
May have a chilling effect
Sunspots, first observed by Galileo, normally follow an 11-year cycle. We are into a few years into (recorded) cycle number 24 but according to NASA it's looking rather underpowered. Nobody is certain exactly what the consequences will be, but one distinct possibility is a cold period; a previous low in solar activity, the Maunder minimum, is correlated with a brief Little Ice Age. Nobody really knows how this unusual solar weather pattern might interact with human-caused climate change. Previously, albeit somewhat controversially.
More statistical hijinks on climate change
"certain styles of research were suggested to be prone to 'groupthink, reduced creativity and the possibility of less-rigorous reviewing processes.' Edward Wegman is a professor at George Mason and a distinguished statistician with a long career, a former winner of the ASA's Founders Award. In 2006 he testified before Congress on climate science, sharply criticizing the statistical methodology of Michael Mann's "hockey stick graph," which showed a sharp increase in global temperature in the last part of the 20th century. One section of Wegman's testimony concerned "social network analysis," and suggested that Mann's tightly-knit network of co-authors might have led to insufficiently aggressive peer review. USA Today reports that Wegman's testimony contained a substantial quantity of plagiarized material, and the peer-reviewed article derived from the testimony has been retracted by the journal that published it. John Mashey has compiled an obsessively thorough catalogue of the plagiarized text. (large .pdf.) [more inside]
Climate Change by Climate Scientists: the musical
In the media landscape there are climate change deniers and believers, but rarely those speaking about climate change are actual climate scientists... From the Power Episode of The Hungry Beast a weekly, half-hour, TV show on ABC (Australia) television combining journalism, comedy and the reportage of weird. It asks questions others don't, covers stories others won't and brings them to your screen in ways that only this unique team of broadcasters can do.
A nation of fickle fools
We care about climate change, but we hate the idea of having to do anything about it. Professor of Public Ethics at CAPPE, Clive Hamilton (also author of Requiem for a Species and Affluenza), tells it like it is on climate change policy in Australia.
Executive Decarbonization
With the climate bill dead and blame portioned, Ezra Klein asks what happens when congress fails? He concludes that "regulations to reduce carbon emissions are alive and well. The Environmental Protection Agency can attack carbon as a pollutant, and the Obama administration's announcement that efforts to hamstring the EPA will be vetoed suggests that they mean to do exactly that."

If global warming is real, why is it cold outside?
"...Arctic sea ice – frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface – is now at its lowest physical extent ever recorded for the time of year, suggesting that it is on course to break the previous record low set in 2007.
Earth has been 0.65C warmer over the past 12 months than during the 1951 to 1980 mean, and that the global temperature for 2010 will exceed the 2005 record."
2010 set to be the warmest year on record.

5 Percent Too High
Odds of Cooking the Grandkids: "There is a horrible paper in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, which looks at how the limits of human physiology interact with upper-range global warming scenarios. The bottom line conclusion is that there is a small - of order 5% - risk of global warming creating a situation in which a large fraction of the planet was uninhabitable (in the sense that if you were outside for an extended period during the hottest days of the year, even in the shade with wet clothing, you would die)."

The University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit suffered a security breach this week. Hackers made off with thousands of email correspondences between some of the world's top climate scientists, and posted them to the Internet1.
Tony Hake has posted an article at The Examiner, highlighting what he feels are the most egregious examples of scientists manipulating and hiding data to support the established theories about Climate Change. Some of the scientists involved counter that the quotes are taken out of context, and that "People are using language used in science and interpreting it in a completely different way".

The Economist: The World in 2010
In 2010, Obama will have a miserable year, NATO may lose in Afghanistan, the UK gets a regime change, China needs to chill, India's factories will overtake its farms, Europe risks becoming an irrelevant museum, the stimulus will need an exit strategy, the G20 will see a challenge from the "G2", African football will unite Korea, conflict over natural resources will grow, Sarkozy will be unloved and unrivalled, the kids will come together to solve the world's problems (because their elders are unable), technology will grow ever more ubiquitous, we'll all charge our phones via USB, MBAs will be uncool, the Space Shuttle will be put to rest, and Somalia will be the worst country in the world.

A number we can live with
Today marks the official 8-language launch of 350.org and the start of global action against climate change. But what does this 350 number even mean? As author Bill McKibben and a chorus of scientific voices suggest, it means everything to the planet. If we want an earth at all, we'll need an Earth at 350.
Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green
Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What It Means to Be Green. Last month, Wired published what it called "10 green heresies" which makes the case for urban living, intensive forest management and, er, air conditioning, among other things.

Al Gore's slideshow reprise, now with 100% more urgency!
At TED this past March, Al Gore once again presented the Mother of all Power Point Shows. This time around, there is a renewed sense of urgency, with updated slides about Arctic sea ice loss, among other things. More so than in the past, Gore specifically focuses on the necessity for laws to change, and how before that can happen, politics, especially American politics, must change as well. Another theme of Gore's latest TED appearance is how climate change is also a tremendous opportunity for a new heroic generation, to be remembered as the ones who solved the greatest crisis of human civilization.
A New Age of Sail?
Some time this month, French wine will once again be transported by sail. As the Guardian reports today, French vineyards concerned about climate change are about to make life much easier for oenophiles wishing to reduce their carbon footprint.

New Jersey is drowning, or rather it would if the the future as predicted by David Spratty & Philip Sutton in climate code red comes true.

Every other one of these mREITS is up anywhere from 1-4% today. Look at HTY, and NLY. CYS continues to struggle and barely stay green with a .03 cent gain. Whoopie!!!!!
ALL mREITS up again huge today but this TURD!
Why not look at the trends at every other stock part of the sector, TURD IDIOT!
even a couple of months ago, before the explosive diarrhea hit the fan at warp speed, CYS struggled to move up, staying way below book value. even after major insider buying at $12, the #$%$ thing barely moved. CYS is so far down the staink hole, i think it's going to emerge in china.... technically making it a chinese stock. ...and i wouldnt touch anything on the #$%$ stock market. but i digress.
clearly CYS is oversold....... but that's of little comfort. management seems optimistic (based on their recent financial conference presentations), but they were undoubtedly optimistic when they bought shares at $12.00.
lucky me.... i own it at $11.99..... what a steal. ooofah.

Jay Glazer with some big unexpected news, reporting the Bears have acquired wide receiver Brandon Marshall from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for two third-round picks. Apparently the reports out of Chicago that the Bears were not the favorites for Vincent Jackson were on the money.
Marshall of course has a fairly successful history with Jay Cutler when they were in Denver together, and also fits Chicago's need for a big wide receiver. I have no idea what this means for Miami's pursuit of a shiny new quarterback.

Of the rumored destinations for a hypothetical Randy Moss who is fast and motivated, I thought San Francisco was one of those that made sense. As we saw during the NFC Championship Game, the 49ers receivers might as well not have been on the field.

Adam Schefter is reporting the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys will be docked salary cap space for front-loading contracts paid during the uncapped year in 2010. The Cowboys lose $10 million, while the Redskins lose $36 million. The teams may split the amount by which they were docked over 2012 and 2013. The other teams in the league, save the Saints and Raiders, will be re-allocated additional money under the cap.
I'm going to go away somewhere and figure this whole thing out, because it doesn't make much sense to me.

Proposed legislation at the Indiana Statehouse would put a cap on the size of annexations, limit the ability of cities to stop towns from annexing land and require that residents be warned that they could some day be annexed when they buy a house.
The bills, if they had been approved years ago, potentially could have changed the outcome of the annexation battles that landed Greenwood and Bargersville in court. The legislation also could affect future annexations in Johnson County, such as if Bargersville or Whiteland wants to grow more.
Cities and towns across Johnson County have grown through annexation in recent years, even after the grabs for land in White River Township settled down.
Whiteland recently annexed land out to the Whiteland Road interstate exit. Greenwood is annexing land around the future Worthsville Road interchange, where it's spending about $30 million on infrastructure improvements.
Greenwood also is annexing the Shepherds Grove neighborhood, where residents wanted to become part of the city. Long-terms plans call for extending Greenwood's borders east as more development occurs.
Franklin has no immediate plans for annexation but could add land if developers planned projects outside the city borders, Mayor Joe McGuinness said. The city also would consider any requests from property owners who ask to be annexed.
"We'd be happy to have that communication, but we wouldn't jump into anything without knowing whether we'd be able to provide services," he said.
The proposed legislation could affect how much property Johnson County communities could annex at a single time, decide if cities could stop surrounding towns from annexing land they could want later and say whether cities and towns could rely on annexation waivers that developers signed in exchange for sewer service.
State Sen. Jim Buck, R-Kokomo, sponsored the bills. All three have been approved by the State Senate and are being considered in the State House of Representatives.
Buck has been concerned about Kokomo's recent annexations and also sponsored legislation that would make it easier for property owners to stay out of cities and avoid city taxes. One bill, for instance, would have allowed 51 percent of affected property owners to block an annexation by signing a petition, instead of the current threshold of 65 percent.
His goals are to protect the rights of property owners and help preserve the character of small towns, so they don't get encroached on by neighboring cities, Buck said.
"There have been some aggressive annexations where they're just gobbling up land," he said.
Disclosing waivers
One of his bills would limit the size of annexations so that cities and towns couldn't do any large land grabs that would increase their assessed valuation by more than 15 percent. State law currently does not let cities annex enough land to boost the taxable value of the property within city limits by more than 15 percent, but they routinely get around that by pursuing several smaller annexations at the same time, Buck said.
His legislation would stop cities from using multiple annexations to annex land that would raise their assessed valuation by 15 percent or more.
The goal is to limit the financial impact of annexations on counties, schools, libraries and other local governments, Buck said.
Other governments typically collect fewer property tax dollars after annexations because the annexed residents would have to pay a new, higher tax rate that could push them over their property tax caps. Once property owners hit the caps, which limit tax bills to 1, 2 or 3 percent of a property's value, they don't have to pay more in taxes.
"It would slow down the annexations," Buck said. "The other taxing units in those areas would get more time to adjust."
Another bill Buck proposed would address a concern that he's heard from residents who thought they were moving to a rural area and didn't know they could be annexed.
Developers who build neighborhoods outside town limits often sign annexation waivers if the city or town extends sewers. The waivers prevent any future property owners from objecting to an annexation, such as by signing a petition known as a remonstrance.
The problem is that homebuyers often don't realize such an agreement is in place because they've never seen the paperwork.
"Some of these waivers date back 50 or 60 years," he said. "The home might have changed hands 12 or 15 times, and nobody ever knew the developer signed them. The records could get lost or destroyed. This would require them to divulge the contract with the municipality."
New buffer rules
Under Buck's proposal, any waivers of the right to protest annexation must be included in the closing paperwork homebuyers sign. The homebuyer has to get a chance to review the agreement before buying the home, he said. If that agreement isn't included in the paperwork, the waiver would not be binding.
Senators voted unanimously to approve that bill, which Buck said would apply only to annexation waivers signed after June 30 if the proposal gets approval from the House and is signed by Gov. Mike Pence. The Senate also approved his proposal to change current law and shrink the buffer zones that let cities veto annexations within three miles of their borders.
Greenwood attorneys cited that law when the city sued to block a Bargersville annexation in White River Township in 2009. The legal battle that followed ended up going all the way to the Indiana Supreme Court, and Greenwood won by default when justices failed to reach a majority decision.
Buck's legislation would eliminate the three-mile buffer. Towns could not annex within a mile of city limits, but the neighboring cities no longer could block annexations.
"I hope to preserve small-town culture across the state," he said. "Towns should also be able to grow methodically for their own economic interests."
Public policy consultant Mike Shaver, who advised Bargersville when it annexed much of the southern Center Grove area, said cities shouldn't be able to stop towns from annexing land.
The issue should be which local government can best provide utilities to an area.
"It should be based on who can provide infrastructure and services," he said. "You've got situations like along State Road 135 where Greenwood and Bargersville had utilities that wound around each other like some kind of umbilical knot, but it should really be about which government can provide utility service most cheaply and effectively, not whether it's a city or town or whether it's three miles or two miles away."

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is a great product. I had been using an equivalent, top of the line Australian acidophilus which boasts 45 billion bacteria and a $45 per 30 capsules price, yet it did virtually nothing compared to the Thorne Research Floramend product. Floramend is the most effective acidophilus I have ever tried. And it contains nothing to trigger allergic responses, which is something I need to be careful of. There is a new craze for fermented probiotics at the moment, but I can't tolerate them. I can, however, tolerate Floramend just fine. I also like that the bacteria are tough enough to handle not being stored in the fridge. It always worries me when I take other acidophilus that needs refrigeration. What is going to happen when I actually swallow them? The human body temperature is 37C (98.6F), enough to kill most fragile acidophilus. But this one survives, which is what you want. I feel better after taking these - my stomach relaxes and I have a pleasant (ie, normal) taste in my mouth. Highly recommended. (I tried the Thorne Research Bacillus Coagulans but didn't handle that very well. Supplements are different for everyone and for every body, I guess).

The Good that Lies Ahead
Bittersweet is one of my favorite words. It holds the promise that great good lies beyond the affliction of the moment.
When a chapter comes to a close it is often bittersweet. Saying goodbye to something or someone you love is most always bittersweet. Bidding farewell to the name of a blog you have poured heart, sweat and tears into definitely qualifies as bittersweet.
Over the past months I have been quietly working on reinventing Lexie's Kitchen. Today it gives me great joy to announce the coming of a new look, a new name and a new mission. Shortly Lexie's Kitchen will become Flo & Grace (www.floandgrace.com)—an online lifestyle magazine for the 40+ woman!
A Look Back
When I launched Lexie's Kitchen in 2009, I had a sick little boy. I felt terribly helpless and alone. I needed to learn so much, so fast—and you were there for me.
By 2016, what started as a small recipe blog had blossomed into an award-winning food allergy site and a source of great personal blessing. My work in recipe development and food photography had been picked up, published and seen by millions. It inspired me to author a cookbook that I am immensely proud of. It provided opportunities to work with top health brands, experts and influencers—even our First Lady Michelle Obama. But the greatest of these blessings? Connecting with you.
As I stretch beyond food to grow this site into a wellness lifestyle magazine, my hope is that you will continue with me and that our connection will grow deeper and richer. Rest assured that the recipes are not going away (I love food too much)—they simply will be complemented with a wider variety of content aimed at nourishing your entire being.
A Life Lesson and a Change of Direction
The decision to move in a new direction didn't come about overnight, it blossomed over time.
All the while my husband and I worked to heal our son, a huge life lesson was in the making for me. As most caregivers do, I sorely neglected my own health and well-being. A sick child coupled with job loss, deaths in the family and the onset of a no-so-little thing called perimenopause brewed a perfect storm that knocked me flat. Back in the day they would have called it a nervous breakdown. Today we call it adrenal burnout, or in health geek terms HPA Axis Dysregulation.
For six years my body bore such a load of stress that it crossed its arms, dug its heels in deep then shut down. I remember the fateful day. I had just turned 42, my father had just died and I was having another bout of stress angina. I woke up one Friday morning and everything about my life, even the thought of fixing breakfast for my toddlers, was beyond overwhelming. It was as if a switch had flipped and with my mind in a crippled state, I laid in bed for three days. I did not eat. I did not want to talk to anyone. I just laid there.
Three days later, I pulled myself together and went to see my primary doctor. My head was a bit fuzzy, but clear enough to state my case. I wasn't sad. I was just really, really tired. Nonetheless, he scribbled out a prescription for an anti-depressant and sent me on my way. Yes, I was in the middle of a freak out breakdown, but I wasn't out of my mind. Deep down I knew it wasn't depression and as I left his office I tore up the script and tossed it in the trash.
The next week I went to see a holistic-minded chiropractor in town. He started me on a good dose of adrenal supporting supplements and prescribed a clean diet and lots of rest. Recovery was slow, but in time I began to feel like myself again. Through it all I learned a life lesson I will never forget; I have got to take care of myself.
Aha! Moments
Little did I know, my break down experience would be part of the inspiration I would need a few years down the road. By 2014 I began running out of steam with Lexie's Kitchen. Blogging exclusively about food was no longer fulfilling. I wanted to do more and be more than a recipe developer—I just didn't know what. Coincidentally, I began having some great aha! moments—one in particular provided the answer I desperately sought.
Speaking to a full house of food allergy bloggers in 2015, keynote speaker, mother and the "Erin Brockovich of food," Robyn O'Brien touched on the stress that only parents of children with chronic illness and life-threatening allergies know. She spoke of the serious toll it takes on the body and mind and pleaded with all the parents and caregivers in the room to take care of themselves.
And there it was again! That was it.
"We have got to take care of ourselves," I whispered to myself.
Join Me for the Next Chapter
And so it was settled. My calling was to continue helping, but in a new way. I wasn't the only stressed out, exhausted, and directionless middle-aged woman on the planet. There were millions of us—and we needed to start taking care of ourselves. Our lives depended upon it. And so with that, a new mission was set and Flo & Grace was born. Please join me in this new adventure and thank you for being a part of this new chapter.
Pardon the Dust
The rebranding, redirecting and transferring of content to Flo & Grace has gone pretty smoothly but a few glitches are to be expected. As my team works to get Flo & Grace up and running, please have patience—it's so going to be worth it!
We are working our hardest to make the social media redirects seamless as well. Our final social media handles will be announced as soon as Flo & Grace goes live.

Oakland ends home skid with 6-2 win over Tigers
OAKLAND, Calif. Dallas Braden helped pitch the Athletics to their second home win of the season, but it might have come at a price.
Braden combined with four relievers on a six-hitter but had to leave early in Oakland's 6-2 victory over the Detroit Tiger on Saturday night after complaining of tightness in his left shoulder.
A's manager Bob Geren said that Braden, who threw a perfect game on Mother's Day in 2010, would undergo further evaluation. The pitcher was terse when asked about his health afterward.
"Shoulder stiff," Braden responded coldly before repeating himself. "Shoulder was stiff. I couldn't continue. Show up tomorrow, we'll evaluate then."
Braden's health was the only dark lining on an otherwise solid day for the A's, who dropped the first two games on this homestand before knocking around Detroit ace Justin Verlander.
David DeJesus and Hideki Matsui had two hits apiece as Oakland smacked six doubles, five against Verlander (1-2).
The A's also overcame their major league-leading 17th error to win for the second time in six games at the Coliseum this season. They ended Detroit's four-game winning streak.
"Our pitching staff's been doing their thing all year so we have to start scoring some runs for them," Oakland shortstop Cliff Pennington said. "You always want to win at home. Now we have to try to go out here tomorrow and try to split this series."
Braden wasn't as crisp as he has been this season and had to pitch out of jams in the second and fourth.
Coming off six sharp innings against the Chicago White Sox on Monday, Braden (1-1) struck out five and walked two. He left after five innings and only 67 pitches when his shoulder tightened up.
"He was throwing the ball well that inning, then started going to his changeup a lot more," Geren said. "That gave you the indication that maybe he didn't want to use his fastball for one reason or the other."
Braden said he knew he couldn't continue after the fifth. That put the game in the hands of Oakland's bullpen, which had come under scrutiny after failing to support strong outings by starters Gio Gonzalez and Brandon McCarthy in the first two games of this four-game series.
This time, the relievers didn't give in.
Brad Ziegler, Craig Breslow, Grant Balfour and Brian Fuentes pitched one inning apiece to complete the six-hitter.
Oakland needed the strong outing to help overcome a throwing error by first baseman Daric Barton that gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
It was the A's eighth error in their past five games. Fortunately for Oakland, the offense got to Verlander in the fourth.
DeJesus, Josh Willingham and Matsui hit consecutive doubles to open the inning and give the A's a 2-1 lead. Kurt Suzuki followed with a single and when left fielder Ryan Raburn bobbled the ball for an error, Matsui raced around third to score.
The game took a quirky turn in the bottom of the fifth.
Verlander walked Barton, then was on the mound when he suddenly jumped off the rubber and fired toward the plate. The ball hit DeJesus in the foot and he was initially awarded first base while Barton moved to second.
Detroit manager Jim Leyland came out to question the call, and after the four umpires conferred, the play was ruled a balk. DeJesus was sent back to the box and Barton remained at second.
Verlander explained that he was trying to make a pickoff throw to first base but his body was caught out of position, so he thought if he just threw home he could avoid a balk.

Project Scion 2015: Butterfly Garden on East Main St.
This year Project Scion has teamed with the Southeast Neighborhood Service Center (led by Nancy Johns-Price and Jackie Whitfield) to convert a vacant lot on East Main Street to a Butterfly Garden. Phase I of the installation will occur on August 27 in conjunction with the EMMA Neighborhood Association and U of R's student volunteer Day of Caring. We will be installing the brick walkway, painting the bollards in bright Project Scion colors (orange & green!) and raking out the whole lot in preparation for seeding. Then in the fall we will be planting the flowering trees and the butterfly attracting perennials. Stay tuned!
Project Scion was presented with a 2014 Reshaping Rochester Award!
We were recognized at the annual luncheon
with the Betty Strasenburgh Award for Activism

Support Project Scion:
The impact of your help will be huge – you can be a part of the revitalization of a neighborhood. Not only do these gardens have a positive impact on the inner-city of Rochester, they are also be used for art and citizenship programs to enrich the lives of the residents.
A statement from the creators of Project Scion:
As professional designers, we are taking what we know about the transformative power of gardens and art, to people in need. We are creating spaces where children can play, neighbors can have a barbeque and residents can have a sense of community. A place where visitors can sit under a tree, lay on the grass, and feel the healing power of nature.
We also believe we can break down some of the manmade boundaries that separate us, and come together as one community.

94 sts strange issue
I have a 94 STS that I really love. The problem is electronic with the computer interface and I think that someone on this forum may be able to solve my problem. I transplanted a used engine into my 1994 pristine STS. I have had the computer replaced and speed sensor etc. and still have problems. When I disconnect the battery to kill the codes, then connect it again, I can start it and drive away with no problems. EVERYTHING WORKS WELL.!!
I then turn off the key and restart and I get error message== Traction Control, ABS etc.
No SIR codes, no ACP codes, The speedo doesn't work and I get TO73 and SO44.
I have taken it to the dealer in Monroe, GA and they have no idea-- It must be the engine or something. Too old! Excuse me! The thing runs great when the codes are clear.
I would also like to install performane enhancements.
I love the car. Can someone help.
Re: 94 sts strange issue
I love this car too! The 1994 FSM pages 8c1-45,5e2-119 and 3g2a-43 indicate poor communication with PCM for all your affected systems. I don't know why reconnecting battery resets everything. Two of your codes share a common specific problem - "PROM in PDM no properly seated". I believe you need to use your old PROM (although I'm not sure) in your new PCM. Either way maybe the PROM is the problem due to either poorly connected in PCM or not the correct PROM. Hope this helps-let us know.
Re: 94 sts strange issue
You said you replaced the computer AKA the PCM. The new one
doesn't come with a prom/chip, you use the original.
Sounds to me like is wasn't installed properly, I believe if
you drop the PCM down and remove and reinstall the prom
that will solve your problem.
Re: 94 sts strange issue
I'll try it.

My Tiagra front derailleur just broke (a chunk of metal actually broke off) and I need to replace it. I just have some general compatability questions, so I can be sure I get a part that fits.
Its a braze-on, so obviously the replacement will have to be the same. I have a triple chain ring and a 9-speed set up. Am I pretty much limited to the same type of front derailleur? Can I install a FD intended for a double, if I never shift to the small chain ring and plan to change to a compact double? Does the FD have to specifically say it's made for a 9-speed? What about compatability with other brands like Campy or SRAM?
Thanks in advance.
