Fireworks at night, revelers' delight
The Fourth of July is just too good to be confined to a single day on South Whidbey. It takes a night plus a full 24 hours afterwards to do it right.
The biggest crowds of the year formed up twice late last week as thousands of people first headed to Freeland Park on Thursday night to eat, listen to live music and watch a fireworks show put on for the ninth annual Celebrate America. New this year was a flyover by a Navy Prowler jet out of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, and a longer, more explosive fireworks show courtesy of pyrotechnicians Mick and LeRoy Olsen.
The Rev. Dareld Chittim, the associate pastor of the South Whidbey Assembly of God and organizer of the Celebrate America, said this year's event went off well in beautiful weather and may, unlike in past years, have brought in almost enough donations to cover all costs.
"It's going to be pretty close," he said of the $15,000 show.
The celebration, in addition to the Maxwelton Fourth of July parade the next day, seemed to bring out every family on South Whidbey and then some.
After eating carnival food, playing games and settling in under dark skies on blankets and lawn chairs for the Thursday evening's fireworks, almost the same crowd seemed to drain down to Maxwelton Beach for the 91st edition of the Independence Day parade. Big hits among the scores of units in the one-third mile parade included the Bruckner Family Clowns -- which brough family members from Boston, New York, Omaha and a half dozen other places to dress up in makeup and funny shoes -- and Gary Gabelein's fire engine. The engine drove the entire course under its own power this year after having to be pushed last year.
"It's running, it's running!" was the cry from one parade goer as the engine passed.
After the parade, the Maxwelton Community Club sold hundreds of hot dogs -- still priced at only $1 -- and even more strawberry-topped pound cake.
Both holiday events went off rain free after having to contend with intermittent showers and misting last year.

Well, if journo-scolds are going to tut-tut news organizations for trivializing the election, treating a candidate's choice of a running-mate like some sort of parlor game (Veepstakes!), why not exceed the critics' expectations with… an interactive parlor game?
"Think of this as March Madness for politics," David Gregory urges anyone who clicks on MSNBC's "Veepstakes" online game, which the network is promoting on-air and is teased online as follow: "Who should McCain choose for his running mate? A liberal? A woman? You decide in our fun and informative Veepstakes game." MSNBC provides brackets and rankings (Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, John Thune and Mark Sanford are all top seeds).
"Who will MSNBC viewers pick as Republican V.P?" No pressure, though, MSNBC viewers. In the rush to beat the official announcement of a candidate's number two, the bar for accuracy is pretty low.

Walking with Walmart
Walking with Walmart
by Lucas Sjostrom
The author is a University of Minnesota graduate research assistant and partner in his family's farmstead cheese business, Redhead Creamery, Brooten, Minn. He is also a former associate editor for Hoard's Dairyman.
Quality and price are the quintessential elements retailers use to judge the products they'll sell. But Walmart, and other retailers, are adding sustainability to the mix as consumer views change.
Triple A Farms milks 300 cows twice per day in a location now completely surrounded by the city limits of Bentonville, Ark. "The only way Bentonville can grow is over the top of me," explained Ryan Anglin.
Anglin, his wife, Susan, and their sons are a fifth-generation farm on Anglin Road, making them a bit of a legacy in the area. Just six miles away is the home office of another area legacy, Walmart.
The Anglins strive for quality milk and profitability. Similarly, Walmart purchases products based on two criteria — price and quality. But both family businesses continue to adapt.
Tale of two tours
Anglin is no stranger to dairy promotion, serving as past chair of the National Dairy Board and currently serving as vice chair of the United Dairy Industry Association, the two boards that oversee Dairy Management, Inc. (DMI). He sees the value of collaborating with customers, and often invites consumer and school groups to the farm. Walmart team members have visited the farm twice, first several years ago and again in August 2013.
The first time, it was a tour with a few Walmart milk buyers curious about how a dairy farm works. Last year, the visit was viewed through the lens of sustainability and for good reason; Walmart is adding a third criterion to its purchasing decision tree in 2014: sustainability. Other retailers are following suit, and if the dairy industry wants to compete, sustainability needs to be a focus.
"We don't think customers should have to choose between products they can afford, the products they love and the products that are good for the environment," explained Jeff Rice, a Walmart director of sustainability. "We think we have a responsibility to, on our customers' behalf, collaborate with all our suppliers to make sure we improve the sustainability of the products we are putting on our shelves."
Walmart has three public sustainability goals. First, they want to be supplied by 100 percent renewable energy. Second, they want zero waste from their stores. Third, they want to sell products that sustain people and the environment.
That third part is Rice's job to oversee. "Our company's goal is to save people money so they can live better," Rice said. "We try to reach customers' expectations of products that don't cause undue harm to the environment and are produced in a way that we will be able to continue to produce and sell those products far into the future around the world."
To show the Walmart dairy buyers what sustainability looks like on their farm, the Anglin family worked with the farm's suppliers and customers to get a team ready to greet the visitors. "We set up stations around the farm with a semen tank and our A.I. company rep, USDA-NRCS, our veterinarian, nutritionist and co-op leaders," Anglin recalled. "I wanted to present the circle it takes to run a farm in Arkansas next to Walmart."
Some of the Walmart team stayed for over three hours, while others had to get back to work earlier. "I always judge a visit on how quickly people run to the door," Anglin said. "When we had people staying to tell family stories, I felt like we hit a home run."
First in the field
Sustainability efforts are coordinated by the staff at the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy. Erin Fitzgerald, senior vice president, Sustainability, worked for two years to set up the visit at Triple A Farms. But the efforts started years earlier, when Walmart began talking about the sustainability of milk and other products in 2007. By June 2008, checkoff leaders and Fitzgerald had organized a sustainability summit in Bentonville with over 200 attendees from all ends of the supply chain.
Since that initial meeting, Fitzgerald and the team at the Innovation Center have developed the dairy industry's "Stewardship & Sustainability Guide." In 2012, it went through an internal review with dairy cooperatives and processors. In 2013, an external review allowed nongovernmental trade groups, retailers like Walmart and government agencies to comment on the piece. The stewardship and sustainability guide is on track for a 2014 release. The guide is one tool in the effort to demonstrate the dairy industry's progress to consumers who are increasingly interested in where their food comes from and how it was made.
Farmers will score themselves on sustainability. The score will remain confidential unless the farmer chooses to share it. While your farm may earn a sustainability score, Fitzgerald says sustainability isn't farm versus farm or processor versus processor. It's about continuous improvement over time. "Every farm, every soil is different," Fitzgerald insists. "You really can't compare one farm against another, but you can talk about how you're improving, and we can talk about everyone's improving."
Cooperatives and processors will roll their farms' scores into averages, turning that average over to retailers. At Walmart, Jeff Rice explains that products are categorized like a traffic light, with signals of green, yellow and red. "At some point, we'd like to engage customers with it, but we're focused on rolling it out internally now," he said. "I think there's a growing population of consumers who want that information."
Now in their seventh year, the dairy industry's sustainability efforts were actually the first of any industry attempting to quantify an entire supply-chain's sustainability efforts.
"It was really the dairy industry's leadership to be the first that really brought the industry together," said Rice. "In doing so, the industry said, 'Sustainability is important to the livelihood of our industry, it's important to our customers moving into the future, and it's important to our ability to produce and continue to sell nutritious products to customers into the future,'" Rice noted.
Farm to front office
To take the concept from Walmart offices to the dairy, Fitzgerald knew the tours would be essential from the start.
"As they try to understand and see sustainability metrics," Fitzgerald explained, "they're really living on a piece of paper. It's black and white. They don't see, smell and experience what sustainability means on a biodynamic farm, and that things change on a day-to-day basis as the weather changes," said the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy specialist. "We felt strongly that we had to get them out of the office and experience sustainability in reality on a farm."
But Fitzgerald notes this isn't just about Walmart, "It's about all the retailers and customers. Maybe, over time, we'll talk to health professionals, chefs and others."
Fitzgerald says it's also not about retailers pulling milk or dairy products off their shelves, "Companies fight very hard to have an 'end cap' or promotion of the category. We want to be sure that when Walmart is talking to consumers about what sustainable products look like, dairy is always front and center."
Anglin, whose bedroom window is lit up by a Walmart warehouse every night, recommends that other farmers should take similar opportunities as they present themselves.
"It doesn't matter if it's Walmart, Target or Hy-Vee," Anglin said. "It's a team effort. If we don't reach out and do this, then they're going to say what they want to say, and they're going to project what they want to project.
"You can't change the world from the outside looking in. You've got to change it from the inside looking out."

Lot # 902 (of 1560) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
Gigantic 1975 Topps Mini Baseball Card Assortment (20,000+ cards)
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $38,188
Crisp, literally pack-fresh hoard of 20,000+ 1975 Topps Mini baseball cards. These cards were found stored away in Charlie Conlon's collection. This is not surprising, of course, as Charlie was "The King of 1975 Topps Minis." Each card was obviously pulled directly from packs that Charlie opened just for fun. These cards were probably all opened in 1975 or 1976, as he soon realized he was better off leaving the cards unopened. The colored flush-to-the-border design of the 1975 Topps set makes this issue particularly challenging to collect in extremely high grade. This hoard of pack-fresh high-grade examples could provide the foundation for many high-grade sets and at the same time provide quality inventory to fill want lists. A high percentage of these cards are well-centered, with the sharp look which pack-fresh quality cards from this era display. Hall of Famers, stars and popular numbers are also present in the assortment, with such highlights as (quantities in parentheses): #1 Aaron HL (23), 5 Ryan HL (27), 20 Munson (33), 50 Robinson (28), 61 Winfield (21), 70 Schmidt (45), 223 Yount RC (54), 228 Brett RC (55), 260 Bench (31), 300 Jackson (21), 320 Rose (21), 370 Seaver (26), 500 Ryan (14), 616 Rice RC (14), 620 Carter RC (8), 623 Hernandez RC (29), and 660 Aaron (15). The condition is uniformly high grade throughout, with a full 80% grading Nr/Mt or better and 20% grading slightly lesser due to centering issues. Most of these cards are suitable candidates for professional grading or ideal for upgrading a high-grade set. Total 20,000+ cards. Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $38,188

Syracuse, N.Y. -- It's Friday and, in accordance with the ground rules around this little corner of cyberspace, it's my duty to become scarce and let the readers take over.
(Before doing so, however, a response to that citizen whose self-appointed "name" is stormy178: You've asked me to "man up" and answer your question about the disgraceful behavior of certain fans at the Syracuse-Providence basketball game, which I'll gladly do. All that's required of you is to "man up," yourself, by e-mailing me at the address below and including in the correspondence your name and hometown. Accountability . . . it's a wonderful thing.)
Enjoy . . .
I noticed that your checklist relative to "The Wrestler" could also pass muster for another "pretty fair" flick called "Million Dollar Baby."
The Wrestler was not so much about Randy "The Ram" Robinson as it was about Mickey Rourke. Rourke, like the Ram, destroyed himself over a period of 25 years . . . and now he shows up on the screen the way the guy in your high-school yearbook, chosen "Most Likely To Succeed," shows up at the reunion, unkempt and slovenly.
The campaign surrounding the film was about "resurrection," and audiences love good comeback stories. The French have had a decades-long affair with Mickey Rourke, much the same way they regard Jerry Lewis. The film, which supposedly cost only $7 million to make, will have great commercial success here, and abroad, because nobody had to be paid lots of money. And it will win awards . . . or at least be nominated for them.
Meanwhile, the buzz surrounding all of that will ensure Rourke and all the rest will get more jobs for some real cash.

I keep thinking about a recent article in the Palm Beach Post about recruiting in Florida. The writer compared each position and how Miami, Florida and Florida State did.
The bottom line was you just never know how a kid is going to work out, and the real question was always linemen because they are the hardest to judge. So, you just don't know how we (i.e., the Syracuse University Orange) stand and/or if all of talk regarding Doug Marrone's recruiting class is correct.
Maybe the top-drawer assistant coaches we now have will make a world of difference. You have to think money was no object in signing these guys on.
To have a successful team, you do not need 22 guys who are world beaters. You just need four key players -- a running back, a wide receiver and a quarterback on offense . . . and one really outstanding player on defense. The rest can be run of the mill.
All you have to do is look back at the teams that beat Syracuse that weren't Top 10 teams. They just had those few guys who made plays. So, time will tell what this new head coach and his staff can do with what they've brought into the program.
-- Lou Mounser
The content of your on-line commentary following the Syracuse-Providence game struck a nerve with me.
I'm a little bit of an outcast being both from Central Pennsylvania and a die-hard Orange basketball fan for the last 30 years (sorry, I'm also a die-hard Penn State football fan). Anyway, I attended the Pitt-SU basketball game last month and witnessed the same kind of bad behavior from the Pittsburgh student section.
I'd been to the Petersen Events Center twice before and I thought I knew what to expect. But I was still shocked that any university would allow such rudeness. I have a lot of respect for the way Jamie Dixon, the Panthers' coach, carries himself and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that he may have tunnel vision during a game. But I have to think that it's a stretch to say he's not aware of what's going on.
The abuse Eric Devendorf took, non-stop, during that game was deplorable. From a synchronized chant about his recent off-the-court problems to just downright calling him disgusting names, those kids and that school should be ashamed. But guess what? They're not.
I'm old enough to handle it. And apparently so was Eric because he never gave the students the satisfaction of a response. But I wish my two young nephews, who were attending their first big-time college basketball game, wouldn't have been subjected to the abuse.

Altoona, Pa.
As to the apparent "rationale" in refusing Garrett Barnas' verbal commitment after the gifted all-around athlete from Illinois was offered, and accepted, an SU football scholarship:
Allegedly, Barnas made the verbal commitment "after the dismissal of Greg Robinson and before the hiring of Doug Marrone" (Donnie Webb, 02/04/09); whereupon Marrone declared that he was not interested in the talented (and committed) Barnas. Uh huh. Beggars may be hopeless losers, but since when have they become classless choosers?
Tell me, if I am unfaithful to my fiancee after I am engaged to her, but before we're legally married, have I committed adultery? Technically, no. But neither does it say much about my character, fidelity, reputation or integrity, now, does it? Too, it says little of my prospects for landing a quality partner after the current one dumps me.
Likewise, if I decide to rob a bank after it closes on Wednesday, but before it opens on Thursday, will that mitigate my culpability or sentencing before the judge? After all, my dark deed did spare the bank, its employees and day-time customers the terror and aggravation I might otherwise have caused them.
And if I order a meal in a restaurant, at a time coinciding exactly with the sale of said restaurant from seller A to buyer B, does that absolve the cook and waitress from dutifully serving up my meal, or exempt me from paying my check, in full, to the cashier? Hardly.
Fact is, Syracuse University offered a football scholarship to Garrett Barnas, not Doug Marrone, and long before the latter was even a thought conceived under the waxed dome of its ambitious athletic director, Daryl Gross. And accordingly, in good faith, Garrett Barnas accepted. Therefore, Barnas, his family, coach and community are justified in their wrath toward the Orange football program for pulling such a reneging stunt.
Further, Marrone and the already blighted Orange program aggravated their blunder by not only hiding behind a flimsy veil of rhetorical "rigamarrone," but by having an assistant, in place of Marrone himself, convey the bad news to Barnas and/or his coach. Rigamarrone-by-telephone. What chutzpah.
A new broom is supposed to sweep clean, not make dirty. And please, don't tell me the assistant was merely following recruiting protocols -- or worse yet, that this tainted, talent-thin program had no use, or place, for such an untainted, talented prospect.
Perhaps Doug Marrone and his freshly-assembled staff need a course on the fundamentals of class, karma and curses. Not that the Orange program has known anything about such voodoo the past several seasons, now has it? One best not take such things lightly. After all, what goes around does tend to come around. Perhaps, by way of further gridiron peril, the Orange will continue as "the Detroit Lions of college football," fulfilling the latest -- albeit, untimely -- curse freshly placed upon them by Barnas' understandably disgruntled coach.
If curses are characterized by abilities limited, principle compromised, opportunities squandered, quality minimized and posterity adversely affected, I'd say the Orange program has been cursed, indeed. Adding insult to injury, curses are especially potent if the "victim" has an active hand in his own demise. Just when we thought the program was beginning to shed its dark side.
Blessing, cursing and "rigamarrone" aside, look for another dismal season in 2009, and a minimum of another two or three thin, but s-l-o-w-l-y improving, seasons following.

One fly can spoil the ointment. One word can kill a conversation. One straw can break a camel's back. One sour note can ruin an entire symphony. One punch can end a fight, one pitch a ball game, or one putt a golf tournament. And one can be the loneliest number that you'll ever do.
No one was done lonelier than Kurt Warner after that play which ended the first half of Super Bowl XLIII last weekend in Tampa. You know, the play that will forever live in Super Bowl infamy.
The play also went down as the longest run for a score in Super Bowl history -- a sloppy, meandering-but-nonetheless-dramatic 100-yard run by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison. It was a run that had all the grace of a train derailment, the choreography of drunks brawling on ice, the panache of a hefty man delivering pizza under heavy fire over a mine field.
Still, it was a notable gallop that hereafter will make doing so many punishing July wind sprints on practice fields everywhere defensible. And that, in 90-degree heat, no less. A run, it says here, that in one fell swoop at James Raymond Stadium ended the Arizona Cardinals' hopes of becoming champions in the glitzy extravaganza that has come to consummate the all-too-lengthy season of professional football. Spot a six-point favorite a 10-point lead (and momentum) in a Super Bowl, and the percentages say, "Game over."
And all because Harrison, three-time Steeler reject, guessed right in positioning himself outside instead of inside on the much iterated, and reiterated, play to give him the interception and his bullet-dodging team a cushion. Meanwhile, ESPN was given the right to inflict upon us endless reruns of the replay, and with it Harrison's lumbering image. Significant, because no team has ever overcome a deficit of 10 points or more and tasted victory in this, the most coveted of bowl games.
Sometimes it only takes one kiss, one dance, one shot, one step, one word, one look, one drink -- or, in sports, one play -- to create a defining moment. Ask Joe Montana or Dwight Clark or David Tyree or Kurt Warner or Santonio Holmes or the one-time Steeler reject, the beaming James Harrison. And never mind the explosive, on-field fireworks and theatrics that marked the game's second half . . . and there were plenty of those:
The heroic rally by the Cardinals . . . the daring, lightning-quick dashes of Larry Fitzgerald . . . the escape-artist contortions of Ben Roethlisberger . . . or the late-game heroics by Holmes, the MVP, whose circus catch of a TD toss by Big Ben with 35 seconds to play became the final nail in the Harrison-made coffin for the Kurtsy-ing Cardinals.
After all, it only takes one bite from a snake, a spider or a scorpion. One vote can win, or lose, an election. One hole can sink a ship. One match can burn a thousand trees, and one apple can spoil the whole barrel. And one choice can make, or break, a person's entire life.
Likewise, one play can tell the story of a game, any game. A winded James Harrison knows all about that. And lest we forget, one can also be the loneliest number that you'll ever do. And it follows, post-half and post-game, no one was done lonelier than the wounded Kurt Warner, who definitely knows all about that.

A good movie will never be a great movie without a good theme song, especially if it's a sports movie. The original "Rocky" movie was made better, and will be forever be memorialized, by the catchy theme song of the same name. On the other hand, "The Hustler" (1961), a classic movie about pool hustlers starring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason, was a good movie that could have been a great movie if it had a good them song to round it out.
A movie now playing at theaters near you, "The Wrestler," an OK flick starring Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei, could use a little help in the music department, as well. Imagine if recording artist Kenny Rogers had been recruited to write the lyrics for this pro-wrestling movie, to the tune of "The Gambler." It might have gone a little something like this . . .
You've got to know when to knee drop, know when to eye poke.
Know when to tap out, know when to juice.
You never count your money, when your sittin' by the tag rope.
There'll be time enough for countin,' when the choke slam's done.

POT.to already did, when does this symbol split?
Question for you then. I bought this stock on Feb 16 because I saw there was going to a be a split, and the stories I was reading said, "You have to have been on record for purchasing the stock by Feb 16 to get the split." Is this true, or can I buy more today, and tomorrow to get the split Friday? I'm a noob at splits, so a quick thought would be helpful. thanks.
I don't think you can, but you can buy options (calls!) and they will split 3:1.Can anyone confirm the pre-split date requirement?
here found it, feb 25http://www.potashcorp.com/news/1117/

They are called LUG's
like this one
I'm in Southern California near Long Beach. I've attended meetings of 2
different LUG groups.
They are very biased towards Debian/Ubuntu with Ubuntu taking over.
I run OpenSuSE on many different boxes, including this laptop. When ever a
new member showed up, any questions about SuSE were ignored.
While running SuSE they kindly helped me learn the ropes of CLI, but I was

The Yankees lost a great man on Tuesday morning by the name of George M. Steinbrenner III. He was a prominent man in baseball that was feared by many and respected by everyone. The world is mourning such a great loss of one of the most prominent men in the baseball world.
There may have been times when we all criticized his moves and his motivations, but when it came down to it, he loved the Yankees. That is what made him a great man.

A former Los Angeles police officer-turned evangelist was arrested in London on Monday for publicly calling homosexuality a sin, according to Christian Newswire.
Retired Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Tony Miano had traveled to the United Kingdom with Sports Fan Outreach International on a mission to bring the Gospel to England.
During the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, he preached about immoral living as he stood in front of the Centre Court Complex.
Click play to watch CBN News UK Correspondent Peter Wooding's report.
Miano cited homosexuality and fornication as examples of lifestyle choices that go against God's law, quoting 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12, which mentions "sexual immorality."
A passerby heard his comments and reported to the police that his statements offended her.
The result: Miano was fingerprinted, DNA samples were taken, and he was later interrogated about his what he believed.
***Click here to watch the arrest on Tony Miano's YouTube Channel.
"As the questioning started it became apparent that the interrogation was about more than the incident that took place in the street, but what I believed and how I think," Miano told The Telegraph online. "I was being interrogated about my thoughts...that is the basic definition of thought police."
"It was surreal because I was interrogated about my faith in Jesus Christ," Miano said. "I was asked if I believe that homosexuality is a sin. I was asked what portion of the Bible I was reading. I was asked if a homosexual was hungry and walked up to me, would I give them something to eat."
When asked if he would continue to same the same thing the next day, the evangelist contended that he did nothing unlawful and, if led by the Holy Spirit, he'd publicly preach the same message.
The arresting officer said Miano's affirmative reponses left him no choice but to seek prosecution. Miano was later released by another officer with no further charge, after seven hours in custody, according to the Huffington Post.
***Click here to read the entire line of questioning.
"The language I used was not homophobic, as I was not promoting fear or hatred of homosexuals," Miano said after the arrest. "I began my message by assuring the people that mine was not a message of hate but of love. I was simply explaining a passage in the Bible which speaks of sexual immorality and that people should abstain from it."
"I did not speak solely about homosexuality as a form of sexual immorality, but also about any kind of sex outside of marriage between one man and one woman, as well as lustful thoughts," he said.
"All of these are considered mainstream Christian positions and have been taught and believed by Christians for thousands of years," he argued.
Miano said the experience was disturbing.
"It was very distressing to be arrested and interrogated for openly expressing my deeply held Christian beliefs," he said.
He warned that Britain and other countries with similar laws are on a "slippery slope" toward the dissipation of free speech.
Meanwhile, Andrea Minichiello Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, echoed Miano's prediction.
"If we continue on the current trajectory, Tony's arrest will simply be the first of many," he said. "It's clear that there is already a clampdown on freedom of speech where people publicly express mainstream Christian views on sexual ethics."

Powderpost beetles
Reports of damage by powderpost beetles to home-built hardwood furniture have been received this summer. Lumber cut and not properly kiln dried are very susceptible to these small borers that can reduce shovel handles or furniture structures to mushy wood and lots of sawdust. Powderpost beetles feed on the starch compounds still present in the wood due to improper drying. Host woods containing six to thirty percent moisture content can be host woods for a variety of small boring beetles in the insect family Lyctidae. The beetles get their name from the fact that their feeding produces a fine powdery sawdust on the wood surface when burrowing into untreated or unfinished wood products. To make matters worse the larvae can spend several years burrowing and growing before emerging as adults from the wood.
The first step on controlling powderpost beetles is to determine whether the beetles are still active in the wood. Wipe off all sawdust, then examine the site a few days to a week later. If no new sawdust is evident, control is not necessary. If control is necessary, treatments with Dursban, cypermethrin or a fumigant can be used. These pesticides have to be applied by a licensed professional applicator. Another treatment option is Shell Guard, a borate treatment, and it can be applied by homeowners.
Another option would be to put a sign on the object reading "Antique Furniture" and sell it for a bundle.

The Portland Trail Blazers are without question a team on the rise. They have one of the league's best power forwards to go with a stud young point guard and their salary cap situation is far from a problem.
That being said, they are in the unenviable position of being not quite good enough to contend and not quite bad enough to secure a high lottery pick.
I went into this article trying to talk myself into why the Blazers could make the playoffs. Sure, growing up in Michigan, I am not a natural Blazers fan, but as a transplant in the Rose City for close to five years, it is safe to say that this team has grown on me.
The Blazers fans have a charm all their own. I encounter them on an everyday basis—the sweet, affluent soccer mom that I see every time I go to Zupan's, the punk girl that cuts my hair at Bishop's, the vendor for Tim's that grabs his coffee at the same Starbucks.
This city is thirsty for a winner and it is unlike any fanbase in the country.
Which is why it hurts me so much to know that the Blazers will most certainly go another year without a playoff berth. Here are five reasons this is so.

Cutters' Walding adjusting to new position
June 18, 2012 - Mitch Rupert
By MITCH RUPERT
Mitch Walding charged the slow, bouncing baseball that had just come off the fungo bat of manager Andy Tracy. Walding, the Williamsport Crosscutters' newest third baseman, gloved the ball and transferred it so quickly to his throwing hand it was almost like a slight-of-hand magic trick. The off-balance throw would have hit Chris Serritella in the chest at first base had his glove not caught the ball.
Yes, it was just a round of infield practice, but it all looked so fluid and so natural. It was tough to tell Walding has only been a third baseman for less than a year. But with Walding having a natural third baseman's frame at 6-foot-3, and with the Phillies having taken a number of other shortstops during the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, the 19-year old knew his future very well could lead to a position change.
Here he is, a year later, ready to make his professional debut as a third baseman and he looks like he's been playing the position his whole life.
"At first it was difficult because the angles are different. Reading the balls off the bat is a big difference," Walding said during Crosscutters media day on Saturday. "Through all the extended spring training I'm used to it and I'm starting to feel comfortable with it. Everything has been going pretty smooth. I like it, actually."
"If you can play short, you can pretty much play wherever you want in the field," Cutters manager Andy Tracy said. "That's usually the best athlete on the field, and obviously he's a great athlete. He's going to be able to make the transition."
The switch is a complete change from what Walding was used to. Before, as a shortstop, range was defined by how deep in the hole he could get to field a grounder, or how quickly he could get to balls up the middle. In his new position, range is basically defined by how far he can lunge either way.
His new position is all about reaction time, something he feels like he's adjusted well to. The arm strength isn't a concern. He showed a strong, accurate arm during the Cutters first workout at Bowman Field.
"Your first step means everything. Your first step is the steering wheel to everything," Walding said. "It's more quick instinct and seeing the ball as fast as you can."
The new position also comes with new expectations, and Walding is well aware of it. Third base is considered a premium power position, not unlike first base or a corner outfield spot.
But Walding is not your prototypical power hitter. At 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, he has a long, lean frame that's just ripe to fill out over the next couple years. In fact, he said he put on 15 pounds of muscle lifting weights in the offseason. He understands the position comes with an expectation of power, but he's not expecting to completely change his way of hitting over night.
"It's definitely a big part of what I wanted to work, and I'm still kind of a young guy so it'll come sooner or later," Walding said. "Hopefully as the years go on I'll just keep getting bigger and bigger and the power numbers will go up." "I think that's something Mitch will have to fight throughout his career," Tracy said.
EARLY ROSTER ADDITION: It only took two days, but Williamsport already made a roster addition on Monday. Brian Pointer was sent to Williamsport from Lakewood where he had been playing since April. The Crosscutters had just three outfielders on its preliminary roster Saturday, but first baseman Brock Stassi had also been working out in left field.
Pointer was a 28th-round selection out of high school in Reno, Nev., in 2010. Prior to this season in 52 games in the Gulf Coast League, Pointer, an outfield, hit .273 with six home runs and 25 RBIs.
The 6-foot, 190-pound left-handed hitter hit .222 with Lakewood this season, but had struggled the last month and a half. He hit .295 in April with five home runs and 19 RBIs. But since then Pointer hit just .167 with two home runs and eight RBIs. He was hitting third in the lineup for Monday night's season-opener for Williamsport.
SOMETHING IN MIND: Cutters manager Andy Tracy said he already had an idea of how he wanted to shape his first lineup before Monday night's season-opener against State College. The nine starters in the lineup featured seven players who were with Tracy in Clearwater during extended spring training.
The other two were Chris Serritella, a fourth-round draft pick out of Southern Illinois University in this month's MLB First-Year Player Draft, and outfielder Brian Pointer who had spent the first 2 ½ months of the season in Lakewood. Most notably in the lineup was 2011 supplemental first-round pick Larry Greene hitting fifth, and 2011 second-round pick Roman Quinn hitting leadoff.
"I went with who (the Phillies) gave me," Tracy said. "It's pretty much self-explanatory who is going to play on our team. We'll rotate people around and get them at-bats as I can."
TUESDAY STARTER: Ulises Joaquin is scheduled to be the Crosscutters' starting pitcher for Tuesday's game at State College.

In the late afternoon of November 10, high in the Himalayas of Nepal, John Edwards and fellow climber John Allen had reached the point where they had to turn back. The light was fading and they were far from camp. Unless they made it before dark, they would never survive the night at 17,000 feet. As they picked their way down to base camp in the Hinku Valley, Edwards spotted an overhanging boulder that formed a natural cave—a possible camp site when he returned the next week to scale Mount Mera with other members of the British Hinku Expedition. Motioning to Allen to wait, he went off to investigate. In that freezing wilderness, Edwards could not believe what he saw: a set of almost-human footprints.
"My first reaction was that someone had walked through the snow in bare feet," the explorer recalls. "But of course I then realized that nobody else could be up there and certainly not in bare feet. In the rarefied atmosphere of high altitude, one's brain is not always as sharp as it could be." Assuming that he had stumbled on the lair of some unusual animal, Edwards shouted to Allen, 200 yards away on a ridge, to join him. Both men were then jolted by another, terrifying sound: As Edwards recalls it, "a piercing, chilling, inhuman scream that lasted five or 10 seconds." Edwards and Allen are convinced that what they heard was the voice of the Abominable Snowman.
Tibetans call it "Metoh Kangmi," or the Yeti, and the lore of the Sherpa mountain guides abounds with tales of sightings and grisly encounters. No sighting has ever been substantiated, yet the Nepalese government has put the Yeti on its endangered species list. When the first Westerners tried to climb Mount Everest in 1921, they reported finding the animal's mysterious tracks at 21,000 feet. Since then the lure of the Snowman has attracted adventurers from all over the world to the snowy wastes of the Himalayas.
The Soviet Union claimed in 1964 that its scientists had found a Yeti and identified it as a surviving form of Neanderthal man. Others have offered tracks, bones, even a scalp allegedly taken from the beast (subsequently proved to be that of a serow, a wild goat antelope). Everest's first conqueror, Sir Edmund Hillary, concluded after a lengthy expedition that the Yeti does not exist. But in the mountains the legend goes on—and Edwards' party does not doubt that it is based on fact. Says Edwards categorically: "I now firmly believe that there is some unidentified animal—call it a Yeti if you like—lurking in the Himalayas."
Like his companions—British postal executive John Whyte, 56, Dr. John Allen, 29, and lawyer John Brooks, 48—Edwards, 43, is an experienced mountaineer of some repute. He was with the first party to scale the east face of Mount Mawenzia in Tanzania (where he discovered the wreckage of a VC-10 that had been missing for nine years). The expedition to Mount Mera was undertaken in part for pleasure and in part to collect high-altitude plant and insect specimens for London's Natural History Museum.
The BBC donated an ancient 16mm camera for photographing "fauna footprints," and the RAF provided transport to Nepal, but the four men split the rest of their expenses. In 28 days they accomplished all they had hoped for—thoroughly exploring the Hinku Valley, scaling Mera and another previously unclimbed, unnamed peak nearby. But their perilous expedition climaxed on the morning of the 18th day, when they returned as a team to the footprints Edwards had spotted the afternoon before.
Whyte, the expedition leader, remembers his astonishment at what they saw. Using the BBC camera, they filmed the footprints. Although they had no precise way of measuring them, they noted that the tracks were of varying sizes, the largest roughly five by eight inches. Whyte suggests that the prints belong to a male/ female pair of Yetis, perhaps with offspring. Whyte's team gathered droppings also found at the site to take back to England for scientific analysis. "We have photographed a print that no one can satisfactorily identify," Whyte says. "I am convinced that there is an animal of some kind up there that is not yet recorded by naturalists."
In the past, skeptics have not been easily swayed—even by previous photographic evidence of the Yeti's tracks. Sir Edmund Hillary argued that "Yeti footprints" are simply those of a more conventional beast, enlarged and distorted by melting in the sun. Whyte insists that the tracks his party found were crisp and clean-edged, with no signs of melting.
Even cynics are becoming more open-minded in the light of other new evidence: Desmond Doig, who co-authored with Hillary a book debunking the Yeti, now says he believes the Yeti is fact, not myth. One American explorer, Jeffrey McNeely, has suggested that even Hillary agrees. "I'm convinced Sir Edmund not only believes the Yeti exists but has actually seen one," McNeely says. His theory: that Hillary is concerned for the welfare of the Yeti, which he thinks is a descendant of the prehistoric Gigantopithecus man, and wants to discourage other explorers from stalking it.
Nonetheless, the photographs of Edwards' discovery raise more questions than they answer. The droppings have yet to be analyzed, and none of the four explorers claims sophistication in the science of animal classification. Although no pictures of the Yeti itself have ever been taken, Whyte argues that the beast's scarceness stands to reason: It lives in the dense forests at the foot of the mountains, he theorizes, and only rarely ventures above the timberline to eat lichen and moss. "How often does one happen on a fox?" asks Whyte. "Or run into a deer?" Infrequently indeed, and the Whyte expedition's close encounter with the legendary Yeti is an experience none of them will soon forget. Yet perhaps it was a mistake to go. The men seem determined to continue their search. As Edwards puts it, "I'll never rest until I get back there."

FLORENCE, S.C. -- South Carolina Democratic Rep. Lester Branham, Jr., of Lake City says six terms in the Statehouse are enough and it's time for him to step aside.
The Morning News of Florence reported Wednesday that the 81-year-old minister says he has loved every moment of representing the people of southern Florence County and western Marion County.
Branham says his mission has been improving higher education while serving on the House Education and Public Works Committee and the Higher Education Subcommittee.
Branham says he is ready to pass the torch to Roger Kirby of Lake City, who filed for the seat as a Democrat on Tuesday.
Kirby owns Kirby Reality and Construction in Lake City. Filing for the seat continues to March 30.

A proposal to fill 34 acres of wetlands along International Boulevard will enable financing for a plan to clean up polluted Filbin Creek, North Charleston officials said Tuesday.
The wetlands work is part of the planned Uptown project located between the North Charleston Coliseum and Performing Arts Center and the Centre Point development.
"Uptown at Centre Pointe will provide housing, restaurants, entertainment and ancillary office space for Boeing's employees, customers and vendors," according to an application for the wetlands work.
The City of North Charleston and developer SC North Charleston Uptown are joint applicants for the project.
Mayor Keith Summey told North Charleston City Council that joining with the applicant is a show of support for the project but does not put the city at risk.
"We're part of it but there's no monetary obligation. It's looked at much more strongly if we are partners," he said.
He said the project is needed for boater access to the Cooper River.
Stormwater runoff from Centre Pointe ends up in Filbin Creek, along with runoff from the highway.
The Council learned about the project in a presentation by Davis & Floyd consultants.
The developer will seek approval for a Tax Increment Financing District to include the Uptown at Centre Pointe project area. The tax base and revenues generated from development of the project can help clean-up Filbin Creek, which flows into the Cooper River, officials said.
Uptown at Centre Point is envisioned as a town center with commercial and retail businesses, municipal office space and live/work space. North Charleston proposes to use TIF funds to construct a stadium for use by area high schools.
The development will provide a strategic location for a new rapid response fire station and EMS location on International Boulevard, the wetlands fill permit application says.
"This design for the Uptown at Centre Point development will create a vibrant new town," the document says.
The 34 acres of wetlands that would be filled are on the Tanger Outlets side of International Boulevard, along both sides of Centre Pointe Drive, which is the main entrance to the massive retail and restaurant complex. The wetlands are part of 125 acres of wetlands that semi-circle around Centre Pointe.
The land is owned by Uptown Developers LLC, based in Washington D.C., according to Charleston County property records.

SeaWolves hit 3 home runs in win over Senators
HARRISBURG -- Steven Moya, Aaron Westlake and Dean Green all homered as the Erie SeaWolves took the three-game series with a 5-1 win over Harrisburg in front of 5,265 fans Thursday at Metro Bank Park.
Moya crushed a two-run home run in the top of the first inning before Westlake followed with a solo shot to give Erie (23-29) a quick 3-0 lead.
Moya has 10 homers on the season, while Westlake has seven.
With one out in the seventh inning, Corey Jones continued his impressive season with a single before Green homered to right to give the SeaWolves a 5-1 lead.
Jones is on a five-game hitting streak, going 11-for-18 (.611) in that span.
While the SeaWolves were hitting the long ball, Jeff Ferrell picked up his fourth win by allowing just one run on six hits overseven innings.
Brian Jeroloman's solo home run in the bottom of the third inning was the lone run for the Senators (18-34).
Guido Knudson allowed two walks in two scoreless relief innings to secure the win.
Omar Poveda dropped to 1-2 for Harrisburg, while red-hot Michael Taylor was 3-for-3 at the top of the Harrisburg lineup.
Marcus Lemon and Green each had two hits for an Erie lineup that seven batters combine for nine hits.
The SeaWolves have won five of their past six games and return home today for a three-game series against Reading.
Erie then leaves town for six games at Portland and New Hampshire, and returns home for three more games against last-place Harrisburg.
Erie is nine games behind first-place Akron in the Western Division.

Braggs vs. Soy Sauce
I switched from soy sauce to Bragg's Liquid Amino Acids. While I haven't performed a side-by-side taste test, neither would I be able to tell the difference if given two equally seasoned foods!
My neighbor mentioned she didn't use soy sauce, because her husband is allergic to MSG (all the names that masquerades under would be good material for another blog!). I asked, "Have you tried Bragg Liquid Aminos?"
She'd never heard of it, but promised to look into it. I offered to loan her some. She emailed me back that what she learned online made it sound like pretty much the same product as soy sauce. I found a good discussion of how Bragg Amino Acids are made on the Essential Oil Cookbook site. I figured asking how Bragg's is made would offer the clue to whether it's the same as soy sauce. (And how many amino acids are in soy sauce?) Evidently Bragg has not revealed their process.
Now here's information about soysauce that will really blow you away:
Twenty-five kinds of soy sauce were clearly distinguished with the sensor, but classification into three conventional groups, i.e., koikuchi (high amino acid, low NaCl), usukuchi (low amino acid, high NaCl) and sashimi, could not be made. Contrary to this, it was found that the tastes of three types of soy sauce, which were produced by the same manufacturer, resembled each other. The similarity of soy sauce by the same manufacturer was also confirmed by amino acid analysis and a sensory test. The taste sensor will contribute to automated soy sauce brewing.
As it turns out, all soy sauce has amino acids and sodium chloride. The proportion may vary and definitely varies in soy sauce, because you can buy low-sodium soy sauce.
Here's my own little study comparing 1 Tablespoon of two products:
Liquid Amino Acids
Food Club Soy Sauce
|960 mg
|5% more than ->
|910 mg
|.6 g
|40% less than ->
|1 g
|1.86 g
|86% more than ->
One thing that can be said for the Bragg product is they certify they do not use genetically modified soybeans (GMO = genetically modified organism). And one more thing: liquid amino acids sounds more healthful than anything with the word "sauce" in it! Good marketing, Bragg!
If you can shed light on this discussion, or even just your own experiences, FoodBlogger would love to hear from you!

As I understand, not all soysauce is *fermented* equally. Some is definitely more potent (Kikkoman). The less-fermented product (LaChoy or ChunKing) is not much different from Bragg Liquid Aminos…though I agree the "Braggs" sounds more pious somehow, as though "different" is better or healthier just because it's different. (Stricter is not better just because it's stricter!)
I happen to like both the flavor and the availability of LaChoy soysauce. And if it's saltier than Bragg's, I'm sure I use less of it! I cook by taste, not just by recipe!
Seems to me, Bragg's vs. soysauce is a case of "much ado about nothing"…or nothing more than something to "Bragg" about. ; )
Of course there's also the issue of MSG, which I haven't researched in either product…yet. Thanks for stirring the brain cells on this topic!

lol – Bragg about! Yes, very clever marketing on their part. I had no idea, before researching for this post, that all soy sauce contains "liquid amino acids."
A friend is very sensitive to sodium, can use Bragg L.A. but not "regular" soy sauce. We discussed there are different levels of sodium in different kinds.
You sound like you know much more about soy sauce than I do.
Sorry the links above don't show. Run your cursor over the post till you find the Essential Oil Cookbook link and read the discussion about how Bragg's might be made. Then make another comment, please. I value your opinion and nutrition and cooking expertise.

I can shed some light onthe MSG question. Although I have not looked at a detailed amino acid analysis I did note on the Bragg website that one of the amino acids in Braggs is glutamic acid. This is the glutamate in monosodium glutamate (MSG). Those who believe they are MSG sensitive are likely no more sensitive to the sodium in MSG than to the sodium in table salt. Any sensitivity would arise from the glutamate so then the question is does Bragg's have less glutamate than conventional soy sauce? My guess is that it depends on the specific variety and brand of soy sauce being used.

And training sessions shouldn't be formal or lengthy.
Providing training for your dog reinforces your role as the pack leader and head honcho of your castle and that
allows them to accept you correcting them when their manners go out the window at times.
Now, there are many kinds of dog training available
but not all will suit your dog so you need to be familiar with the vaious types.

After getting a cold shoulder from the Onondaga County Legislature for help with what would have been a historic outdoor hockey game, Syracuse Crunch owner Howard Dolgon wants to take his big-top idea inside.
It's a spectacle that could be as grand as the Carrier Dome.
A spurned and burned Dolgon said Tuesday night that he will be in town today to meet with Scott Sidwell, assistant athletic director of Syracuse University, about the prospect of playing a game on a portable rink inside the dome.
"They are interested. It's a huge event. We'll have to see what happens," Dolgon said.
Daryl Gross, SU's Director of athletics, said he and Dolgon have talked in general about such an event and now is ready to get down to specifics.
"Howard is a big-event thinker. He's a guy who wants to bring happiness to the community," Gross said. "I like how Howard thinks. I believe in the things he believes in. His way of thinking is very progressive. He has his head in the right place in this one. If we can make it work, I want to do it."
The game would allow Dolgon to attack the AHL single-game attendance record of 20,672, set in 1997 in a contest between Carolina and Kentucky in the Greensboro (N.C.) Coliseum. While Dolgon would likely still have to pay upwards of $250,000 to rent a rink, the dome would eliminate concerns about weather and field damage and would offer the owner more leeway in ticket pricing. When asked about other benefits of the facility, Dolgon was pointed.
"The biggest advantage is I don't have to deal with the Legislature," he said.
Dolgon chafed after the Legislature all but told him to go it alone on what would have been the first outdoor game in AHL history, Dec. 5 at Alliance Bank Stadium. Dolgon said if an original proposal chipping in $350,000 had passed, the game was on.
The county's portion would have come from its Room Occupancy Tax fund, and the Crunch would have picked up the rest of the $350,000-plus bill. Estimates from the Syracuse Convention & Visitors Bureau had the game bringing in about $1 million in tourism money for a crowd of 20,000-plus.
Tuesday, the Legislature voted down the $350,000 proposal but agreed to front the team $75,000, funds that the Crunch would have paid back through parking and concessions. The $75,000 measure passed 14-4, with Democrat Martin Masterpole and Republicans James Rhinehart, Kevin Holmquist and William Meyer voting against it.
"There was a lot of public comment that the expenditure of $350,000 was disproportionate for this event and disproportionate to other events that draw a great deal of tourism for Onondaga County," said Rep. Patrick Kilmartin, R-Onondaga, co-sponsor of the lesser amount bill. "So I tried to strike a balance in arriving at a number and a contribution from (room occupancy tax) that would put a good step forward from the County of Onondaga in support of the Crunch, that would prep our facility so that the promoter, the Syracuse Crunch, could do his job of making the business model work."
Dolgon scoffed at that proposal, and called the more virulently opposing legislators "idiots."
"I think it's duct tape," he said of the offer. "They know we are not accepting it. They could have been straight up about it. They got their 15 seconds of fame. Hopefully, come November (elections), they can get rid of a couple of idiots and get some people in there who know what they're talking about. You'd like to think maybe once there would be a vision of what we can do instead of what we can't do."
The larger issue is how this latest rejection factors into the future of the Crunch in Syracuse, where it has played for 15 seasons. The team has two years left on its lease with the War Memorial, an aching, creaking building with limited revenue sources. Dolgon has asked for a new scoreboard, but the fate of that project is still very much in flux.
Dolgon has said he will not sign a new lease without the improved scoreboard. He has made not-so-veiled references to checking out other markets and was hardly reassuring when asked what the Legislature's decision Tuesday portends for the Crunch's future in the city.
"Well, I don't know. We'll play it as it goes," he said. "Let's put it this way. You have a lot of ticked-off people who want to see this event, or an event of this type, in their community. These are the events, as a community, we wonder why it passes us by."

A press conference will be held on Tuesday in hopes of making lawmakers aware of the increasing number of low-income residents who rely on dwindling resources provided by energy assistance programs.
The conference comes in the wake of at least three fires that have killed seven Detroiters, including thee children. All of the fires were at homes that had illegal power hookups.
"The number of households nationally receiving help through the national Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP, is projected to reach 8.8 million this year, up by almost 13 percent over last year's record of 7.7 million. The gap between available federal assistance and the unmet needs of millions of Americans is growing, causing desperate action in many cities, including Detroit," reads a statement from DTE Energy.
Representatives from the National Fuel Funds Network, the Michigan Public Service Commission, The Heat and Warmth Fund (THAW), Wayne County and the Salvation Army are expected to be in attendance.
In the past few months, much criticism has been lobbied toward DTE Energy for shutting off power to homes during the winter. As a result, residents have turned to risky measures to keep warm.
In January, two brothers and a woman using space heaters powered by an illegal hookup were killed in a fire on Detroit's west side. Earlier this month, three of seven siblings were killed in another home when a fire broke out as their mother was out buying space heaters. DTE Energy had shut off power just hours before.
"This is unconscionable. What they did is murder three children," Maureen Taylor of the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization told Fox 2 during a protest.
Most recently, investigators reported that there was an illegal power hookup at a Detroit hotel which caught fire last week. Space heaters were also used to keep residents there warm. "It's not just a residential problem," DTE Energy Co.spokesman Scott Simons said. "It's a commercial or business problem too."
According to state law, energy companies are not allowed to turn off utilities between November 1 and March 31 to seniors 65 and older and low-income residents.
DTE Energy has also lobbied for tougher legislation against illegal power boosters, calling for increased penalties and jail time for landlords and residents alike.

Mary Hanson
Mary Hanson, a longtime Woodinville resident, passed away Dec. 12 at Group Health Hospital in Redmond.
Mary was born Nov. 23, 1910, in Owatonna, Minn. to Frank J. Kubat and his wife Mary Pechacek. She attended school in the Rice Lake area and cosmetology school in St. Paul.
She worked at Miller's Barber and Beauty Shop in Owatonna and met and married Lloyd E. Hanson.
Mary was preceded in death by her husband Lloyd on Dec. 24, 1980, her son James on Feb. 7, 2000, sister Annie, and brothers John and Edward Kubat.
She is survived by her daughter Marge of Woodinville; grandsons, Kenneth Hanson (Reneé) of Las Vegas, Nev. and Michael Hanson of Owatonna, Minn.; daughter-in-law, Linda Hanson of Owatonna; sisters, Elsie Shumacher of Boise, Idaho, Agnes Mork of Minneapolis, Sophie Wincell of St. Paul, Magdalen Larson of Owatonna and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mary was active in Woodinville United Methodist Church groups and was a member of the Ronald McDonald Breakfast Club.
Along with her husband and children, Mary raised and showed draft horses in Minnesota and Washington. The family sold their final herd of sorrel percherons to a new owner in Honolulu in 1977 and lived in Hawaii for six months.
Following their return to Washington, Mary and Lloyd were starting a new herd of horses and a hayride business.
Mary remained active in gardening, tending her flowers and mowing her huge lawn until she turned 89. She recently celebrated her 90th birthday.
She will be missed by all of her family and friends in Minnesota and Washington.
Funeral services were held Dec. 16 at Bothell Funeral Home. Services will also be held Dec. 23 at the Michaelson Funeral Home in Owatonna, Minn.

Ask the Experts
By Dr. Lisa Hunter, Child Psychologist
My fourth-grader is so forgetful. He will either forget to bring his homework home or forget to turn it in. I found homework over a week old in his backpack after he specifically told me he turned it in. What am I going to do with him?
It sounds like your son needs extra assistance from both you and his teacher to remember his homework assignments. Here's how you can help him:
It is important that you consistently engage in this "Review, Remind, and Check" process with your son to help him develop a routine for remembering, completing and handing in homework assignments.
At first, it may seem that you're doing a lot of work to help him. But with time he should be able to remember and turn in his homework with less assistance from you.
As you help your son with his forgetfulness, don't forget to praise him whenever he does remember his homework. It may be helpful to set up a reward system that will enable him to earn points every time he remembers his homework. These points can then be traded in for a reward at the end of the week.
Your son will also need extra help from his teacher to remember his homework. His teacher can help him by making sure assignments are posted, and personally reminding him to bring homework home and turn it in. She could also set up a reward system for him.
If you do not notice any improvement in your son's forgetfulness regarding homework after a month of consistent help from both you and his teacher, I would recommend an evaluation by a psychologist to make sure his forgetfulness is not a symptom of broader attention difficulties.

Tascosa cross country coach Sean Hargrove is demanding but realistic.
Region I Cross Country Meet
Where: Saturday at Mae Simmons Park, east of Interstate 27 near downtown Lubbock.
When: 5A girls, 9 a.m.; 5A boys, 9:30 a.m.; 1A girls, 10 a.m.; 1A boys, 10:30 a.m.; 2A girls, 11 a.m.; 2A boys, 11:30 a.m.; 3A girls, noon; 3A boys, 12:30 p.m.; 4A girls, 1 p.m.; 4A boys, 1:30 p.m.
Defending Champs: 5A: Southlake Carroll (boys), Keller (girls); 4A: Big Spring (boys), Hereford (girls); 3A: Canyon (boys and girls); 2A: Wall (boys), Shallowater (girls); 1A: Hart (boys), Sundown (girls).
"Sixth place would be great," he said of how he'd like to see his District 2-5A boys champions fare at Saturday's regional cross country meet in Lubbock.
While several Amarillo-area teams have legitimate title ambitions, Tascosa is a work in progress. The building, however, is going up fast.
Last year, the Rebels won only the third cross country district title in school history (1998 and 1955 are the other two). Last week, they made it back-to-back championships for the first time.
The 5A region includes Southlake Carroll, ranked No. 3 in the state in the latest Cross Country Coaches Association of Texas poll. Other regional powers are Flower Mound and Coppell from the east, and former Top-10 team El Paso Socorro from the west.
Tascosa has achieved its success without fanfare.
The Rebels are without a great runner, but their strength is running as a tight group.
"It's how we train, as a team," said junior Adam Crawford.
He said that because of good depth, the varsity positions were open and forced each runner to compete harder to make the team.
Senior Andrew Striley said Hargrove has required more running the past two years.
"We've had a lot better workouts and it has paid off," he said.
The Rebels would like to keep their times within a range of 16:20 and 16:50.
"They've worked hard, that's the deal," Hargrove said, adding it's unlikely a Rebels runner can crack the top 10. "They'll run 15:35, 15:40 for medals. We want to come close together. It's kind of how we've done it all year. Our level of running doesn't drop off."
At the 2-5A meet, Joel Miller and Striley finished third and fourth, with teammates Skylar Lovett, Michael Huber and Crawford coming in 6-7-8.
Tascosa finished nine points ahead of Lubbock Coronado despite Mustangs runners Donovan Torres and Matt Kutugat being first and second. The third Coronado runner in took 12th place.
The regional meet will be at Mae Simmons Park, which has become Tascosa's "home" course. This is the third meet for the Rebels at the site this fall.
The runners know they need to break from the start "fast and hard," Striley said, to get across a field and in good position to immediately go up a hill.
The hill no longer fazes the Rebels. They have trained on hills during 5- to 6-mile runs on Soncy Road in the northwest corner of Amarillo.
"It's how you use it," Crawford said of the early hill in Lubbock.
Lovett said the second key is to get in position by the second lap around the north portion of the park.
"You need to take off there because everyone will," he said.
Also running for the Rebels will be Oscar Saucedo, who was 10th at the district meet, and freshman Payton Northrup, who was 20th. His older teammates said Northrup will get a good dose of pressure, which will make him a better runner in coming years.
"I remember I was overwhelmed my first year," Crawford said.
Tascosa was 11th at the Region I-5A meet last year.
"That's the closest we've been," Hargrove said. "Our goal has been the top eight."
For now, Striley said the Rebels would rather fly under the radar.
"Other teams, everyone's gunning for them. Maybe they won't look for us," he said.
