From the Exhibit Floor: Esri UC 2014Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014
The Exhibit Floor reveals industry trends, as vendors respond to requests of their customers with timely products and services. The emphasis at Esri UC 2014 was on data and apps, reflecting the trends discussed in Monday's Plenary session. Global data, the mining of crowdsourcing data, spatial analytics to business users, the launch of WorldView-3 that will open up worlds of data previously unable to be explored – are just a few of the exciting areas covered in the exhibits and special vendor presentations.
This year marked the 22nd Esri conference for veteran company TomTom, which derived originally from the company GDT and later TeleAtlas. According to John Cassidy, vice president of sales and James Pardue, licensing, TomTom's focus has evolved from the original interest in making Census data better back in the GDT days, to spatial navigation in the present day. Hardware, analytical, navigation and spatial are the primary areas of their business.
"Everyone wants global data," said Cassidy. "TomTom is heavily invested in the crowdsourcing model."
Cassidy said that in 2013, 6 billion pieces of information per day were processed by TomTom. In 2014, already 9 billion pieces of information per day have been processed. Their focus has become quality accuracy and quality control.
"Real world users are more valuable," said Cassidy. "A lot information is gathered using smartphones."

Some of you may remember a few weeks ago when I wrote a response to Bob Neer's article in Aeon, "The U.S. military is everywhere, except the history books," arguing that military history courses were in danger of disappearing from American university curricula. Paul Huard, a writer for War is Boring, picked up the conversation and has written a nice summary of our points of view in "The Battle over U.S. Military History."
Interestingly, both in Huard's article and in recent private correspondence between me and Neer, we probably agree on more than we disagree. Neer is not interested in strict definitions as to who qualifies as a military historian, and neither am I. (Nor am I interested in imposing purity tests on historians whose work engages women's history, the history of gender and sexuality, or North American colonial history. I'm a big-tent kind of gal.)
Check out Huard's article, which seeks to bring us all to a truce in which we agree on the importance of both military history and understanding the role of warfare in North American society over the past 400 years or so. And yet some military historians seem very determined to draw boundaries and police the borders of their discipline in ways that seem to me to be distinctly against the mainstream of historical practice.

After the Creeks and Cherokees were removed from Georgia, a land lottery was held for the purpose of drawing land. In Habersham, the draw was for 250 and 490 acres. Many settlers came from Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. Ancestor Researchers should also search the records in Rabun, Banks, White and Cherokee Counties. Thus, Habersham County was created in 1818 and was named for Joseph Habersham, Revolutionary War Soldier and US Postmaster General, a direct descendant of the prominent James Habersham, first settler to Savannah. It lies in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North East Georgia. The first white inhabitants inhabited lands which came from the Indian cessions of 1818 and 1819. They settled along the banks of the county's four major rivers, the Chattahoochee, Soque, Tallulah, and Tugaloo. When gold was discovered in northeast Georgia, this resulted in the Cherokee removal of 1838. Parts of the original county lands were given to Banks, Cherokee, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, and White counties, decreasing Habersham County to 278 square miles.

The Errors in Genealogical Research
By Jeannette Holland Austin
Although researchers strive to discover actual facts concerning times, places and dates of their ancestors, it seems as though there is always a flaw somewhere. The further that we go into the past, there are inconsistencies. This is when the genealogist transforms into a "detective" who searches for the smallest of nuances which fit into historical facts. The whole thing is to understanding why people moved about so frequently, where they were when they married, and what happened to all of the children. A family seat in America does not compare to one in Great Britain, for example, where families resided on the same lands for generations. The nobility kept their estates in tact for hundreds of years. Judging by the large parcels of land which comprised Virginia plantations, tHere appears to have been somewhat of an attempt to do this, however, tobacco stripped the land of its nutrients, and fields had to go unseeded for years. As more and more land was required, only the eldest son remained on the estate while his siblings moved on. But we not only have our own mistakes, but the mistakes of others. Thus, when receiving the research of others, it becomes necessary to carefully examine all of the resources provided.

From "Great Women of the Bible -- Martha"
Lord of all pots and pans and things,
Since I've no time to be
A saint by doing lovely things or
Watching late with thee,
Or dreaming in the twilight or
Storming heaven's gates.
Make me a saint by getting meals or
Washing up the plates.
Although I must have Martha's hands,
I have Mary's mind, and,
When I black the boots and shoes
Thy sandals, Lord, I find.
I think of how they trod the earth
What time I scrub the floor,
Accept this meditation, Lord,
I haven't time for more.
Warm all the kitchen with thy love,
And light it with thy peace,
Forgive me all my worrying
And make all grumbling cease.
Thou who didst love to give men food
In room or by the sea
Accept this service that I do
I do it unto thee.

The suit, filed by the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Florida Department of Legal Affairs, the state's attorney general and Florida's insurance regulator, reached settlement with the insurance brokerage firm agreeing to pay $4 million to resolve allegations.
Under the terms of the deal, Aon will pay $2.6 million to FL to reimburse affected policyholders. Further, the Chicago-based company will reimburse several FL agencies $1.4 million in fees and costs, within 10 days. The suit alleged that Aon brokered multiple insurance contracts in FL from 1998 through 2004, stating that its clients included several public entities in the state of Florida, including city governments and school boards. Under the settlement agreement, Aon agreed to disclose to its clients all fees, compensation and commissions associated with each insurance transaction.

While a lot of the focus will be on the free-agency market, some of the biggest names that change teams this winter may actually move through the MLB trade market.
With players like Justin Upton, R.A. Dickey and even David Price on the block, it is possible that there are some mega-deals that go down this winter.
Some teams will turn to these players because they can not fill the same need via the free-agency market. Trading for these players will all cost top prospects and the teams will need to be able to afford their salary.
When all things are considered, only a few MLB teams will be able to be big buyers in the offseason trade market.

Ok, so I'll admit that I'm really stretching this, just so I can write the name Metta World Peace. However! The artist formerly known as Ron Artest is averaging over a 3, steal and a block per game so far. That's fantasy gold if you ask me! On top of that, he's started when Kobe Bryant misses time, and Kobe is likely to miss a lot of time… From a basketball standpoint, his shot is looking good, and he actually dropped 4 trey-balls in his last start. Basically, I'm not telling you to run out and grab World Peace, but I'm not telling you not to either… Make sense? Good, didn't think so!
For this weeks article, I'm not going to separate by category, since not a huge amount has changed from the first two weeks. If you want to see the first couple weeks of recommended pickups, check the links: Here and Here! Just follow those as the main recommendations based on category, and this will simply be a few guys that have stood out this week! (I'll get back to the category format next week, there just isn't enough new in every category to do that this week.)
That being said, lets get it started!Please, blog, may I have some more?

Curriculum Guide · Courses
Chinese Law and Culture
Professor Ruskola
J.D. Seminar 1014 | 2 credit hours
This course is an introduction to the comparative study of Chinese law and legal culture. It starts by analyzing the tradition of imperial Chinese law and its theoretical foundations, and then turns to early twentieth-century law reforms and the introduction of socialist law and jurisprudence. The course ends with the study of post-Mao law reforms and their implications for the future of Chinese law. In addition to its substantive focus, the course considers methodological problems involved in the study of law across cultures. Some of the general themes that run throughout the course include the following: To what extent is law a useful analytical category in Sino-American comparison? How is law related to capitalism and socialism, and to culture and socio-economic organization more generally? How and why has Chinese law changed over time? What happens when "Eastern" and "Western" legal cultures come in contact with each other?

I just lost my job! My boss came and told me that they can't keep me past next Friday. I don't qualify for unemployment and there is no way I can get another job in that short amount of time. I don't know what to do!

Renee ~Xane 11y ~Kai 7y ~Ace 5y ~Declan 3y ~ Phoebe 8/27/13
I am so sorry! Are you part-time or why do you not qualify for unemployment? Do you have a DH or SO that can step up and take care of bills until you can find something else? If not, get started on applying for assistance for your kiddos.
Oh my. I am so sorry to hear that.
I wish you the best.

wow-wish they could have given you more notice? what the heck????

That is just terrible!!!! Is this a new job that you have recently started...why can't you get unemployment?

I am so sorry to hear that. I have been worried about my job only because I have had to miss a lot with my oldest being in the hospital and doctors everyday for almost 3 weeks now.
Ashley 05/20/98; Adriel 03/20/04; Maaliyah 03/24/06
I work for a non-profit org as a seasonal employee. I thought I had another 5wks. My husband has been unemployed since Jan, we've gone through all of our savings already. My kids are already on state assistance for health care and food. But that won't put gas in my car or pay the rent...
Renee ~Xane 11y ~Kai 7y ~Ace 5y ~Declan 3y ~ Phoebe 8/27/13
Oh jeez, that is an awful predicament. I don't have any concrete advice for you, but I just wanted to say you WILL get through this. Hang in there, stick together. I am so sorry.
Renee, I am so sorry. PLEASE, take a deep breath. I know this is awful news (I'm pretty much just waiting for mine), but I've had about a year of thinking about the possibility. So my thoughts about it are this: yes, it is terrible, but definitely not the worst thing that can happen, things happen for a reason, you will be surprised at what you will accomplish under this type of pressure.
Every state has assistance if you need it. Hopefully your state has good supplement programs. I don't know why you don't qualify for unemployment, but that really sucks!
One thing to think about that I have thought of: taking your child out of daycare and watching another child will give you income, and then take away the cost of daycare. That's probably what I would do....
Again, so sorry to hear this, and I hope I didn't annoy you, but trying to help you keep your chin up. Where do you live? I am in Pittsburgh, PA, and I am willing to help you out anyway that I can.
Luckily DH and I have our families to lean on for support during rough times. My parents are helping with my DD's daycare right now because DH is so slow at work. Do you have anyone to help you guys? If not, it's time to get out there and get a job that you normally wouldn't even consider. I have a college degree and got a 2nd job at a department store when we couldn't pay all the bills. There are places hiring now it just may not be what you want to do. I know it rough, but hang in there and try your best to stay positive!
That's a good idea to watch another kid...2 of my friends who are SAHM do that to pull in some cash. Good luck girl, even though it doesn't seem like it now things will work out. It is really true when people say things happen for a reason!!

Thanks for your good thoughts about Ava, ladies. Her teacher was able to give her a couple techniques to stop her thoughts yesterday, and at the regularly-scheduled PT conference i have on Monday, we're bringing in the guidance counselor--whom I know well due to Nicky's time there - ;). She did eat a couple bites of cereal this a.m., but had tears and resistance to getting on the bus and told me she wouldn't be hungry enough to eat her lunch. Urgh.
OFf to campus to work, then groceries, then getting the kids from the bus. Piano lessons tonight. Both kids are doing very well. I'm really proud of them.

A scenario is a set of values that Microsoft Office Excel saves and can substitute automatically on your worksheet. You can create and save different groups of values as scenarios on a worksheet and then switch between these scenarios to view the different results.
If several people have specific information that you want to use in scenarios, you can collect the information in separate workbooks, and then merge the scenarios from the different workbooks into one.
After you have all the scenarios you need, you can create a scenario summary report that incorporates information from all the scenarios.
In this article
Scenarios are part of a suite of commands called what-if analysis tools. When you use scenarios, you are doing what-if analysis.
What-if analysis is the process of changing the values in cells to see how those changes will affect the outcome of formulas on the worksheet. You can use scenarios to create and save different sets of values and switch between them. You can also create a scenario summary report, which combines all the scenarios on one worksheet. For example, you can create several different budget scenarios that compare various possible income levels and expenses, and then create a report that lets you compare the scenarios side-by-side.
Kinds of what-if analysis There are three kinds of what-if analysis tools in Excel: scenarios, data tables, and goal seek. Scenarios and data tables take sets of input values and project forward to determine possible results. Goal seek differs from scenarios and data tables in that it takes a result and projects backwards to determine possible input values that produce that result.
Like data tables, scenarios help you explore a set of possible outcomes. Unlike data tables, scenarios from several different worksheets or workbooks can be merged. Scenarios make it easy to gather data about possible outcomes from a variety of sources, and then combine the data.
Each scenario can accommodate up to 32 variable values. If you want to analyze more than 32 values, and the values represent only one or two variables, you can use data tables. Although it is limited to only one or two variables (one for the row input cell and one for the column input cell), a data table can include as many different variable values as you want. A scenario can have a maximum of 32 different values, but you can create as many scenarios as you want.
For information about other what-if analysis tools, see the See Also section.
Scenario basics
Creating scenarios Suppose that you want to create a budget but are uncertain of your revenue. By using scenarios, you can define different possible values for the revenue and then switch between scenarios to perform what-if analyses.
Note: This section explains how to use scenarios, and shows sample data and the results of applying scenarios that use that data. It does not provide step-by-step instructions. For step-by-step instructions, see the section Create a scenario, later in this article.
For example, assume that your worst case budget scenario is Gross Revenue of $50,000 and Costs of Goods Sold of $13,200, leaving $36,800 in Gross Profit. To define this set of values as a scenario, you first enter the values in a worksheet, as shown in the following illustration:
1. Changing cells have values that you type in.
2. The result cell contains a formula that is based on the changing cells (in this illustration, =B1-B2).
You then use the Scenario Manager dialog box to save these values as a scenario, name the scenario Worst Case, and specify that cells B1 and B2 are values that change between scenarios.
Note: Although this example contains only two changing cells (B1 and B2), a scenario can contain up to 32 cells.
Now suppose that your best case budget scenario is Gross Revenue of $150,000 and Costs of Goods Sold of $26,000, leaving $124,000 in Gross Profit. To define this set of values as a scenario, you create another scenario, name it Best Case, and supply different values for cell B1 (150,000) and cell B2 (26,000). Because Gross Profit (cell B3) is a formula— the difference between Revenue (B1) and Costs (B2)— you do not change cell B3 for the Best Case scenario.
After you save a scenario, it becomes available on the list of scenarios that you can use in your what-if analyses. Given the values in the preceding illustration, if you chose to display the Best Case scenario, the values in the worksheet would change to resemble the following illustration:
1. Changing cells
2. Result cell
Merging scenarios There may be times when you have all the information in one worksheet or workbook that is required to create all the scenarios that you want to consider. However, you may want to gather scenario information from other sources. For example, suppose you are trying to create a budget for a larger company. You might collect scenarios from different departments, such as Payroll, Production, Marketing, and Legal, because each of these sources has different information to use in creating scenarios.
You can gather these scenarios into one worksheet by using the Merge command. Each source can supply as many or as few changing cell values as you want. For example, you might want each department to supply expenditure projections, but only need revenue projections from a few.
When you collect different scenarios from various sources, you should use the same cell structure in each of the workbooks. For example, Revenue might always go in cell B2 and Expenditures might always go in cell B3. If you use different structures for the scenarios from various sources, it can be difficult to merge the results.
Tip: Consider first creating a scenario yourself, and then sending your colleagues a copy of the workbook that contains that scenario. This makes it easier to be sure that all the scenarios are structured the same way.
Scenario summary reports To compare several scenarios, you can create a report that summarizes them on the same page. The report can list the scenarios side by side or present them in a PivotTable report. A scenario summary report based on the preceding two example scenarios would look something like the following:
Note: By default, the summary report uses cell references to identify the changing cells and result cells. For this example, names were created for those cells to make the summary report easier to read. If you create names for the cells before you run the summary report, the report will contain the names instead of cell references.
A note appears at the end of the summary report explaining that the Current Values column represents the values of changing cells at the time the Scenario Summary Report was created, and that the cells that changed for each scenario are highlighted in gray.
For more information about creating a scenario summary report, see the section Create a scenario summary report.
Create a scenario
Before you create a scenario, you should have an initial set of values already on the worksheet. To make scenario summary reports easier to read, you should also consider naming the cells that you plan to use in scenarios. For Help on naming cells, see the topic Use names to clarify formulas.
On the Data tab, in the Data Tools group, click What-If Analysis, and then click Scenario Manager.
Click Add.
In the Scenario name box, type a name for the scenario.
In the Changing cells box, enter the references for the cells that you want to specify in your scenario. For example, if you want to see how changing the values of cells B1 and B2 will affect the outcome of a formula based on those cells, enter B1,B2.
Note: To preserve the initial values for the changing cells, add a scenario that uses those values before you create additional scenarios that use different values.
Under Protection, select the options that you want.
Note: These options apply only to protected worksheets. For more information about protected worksheets, see the See Also section.
Select Prevent Changes to prevent editing of the scenario when the worksheet is protected.
Select Hidden to prevent display of the scenario when the worksheet is protected.
Click OK.
In the Scenario Values dialog box, type the values that you want to use in the changing cells for this scenario.
To create the scenario, click OK.
If you want to create additional scenarios, repeat steps 2 through 8. After you finish creating scenarios, click OK, and then click Close in the Scenario Manager dialog box.
Display a scenario
When you display a scenario, you switch to the set of values that are saved as part of that scenario. The scenario values are displayed in the cells that change from scenario to scenario, in addition to the results cells. For example, using the preceding scenarios, if you display the Best Case scenario, cell B1 displays 150000, cell B2 displays 26000, and cell B3 displays 124000.
On the Data tab, in the Data Tools group, click What-If Analysis, and then click Scenario Manager.
Click the name of the scenario that you want to display.
Click Show.
Note: After you close the Scenario Manager dialog box, the values from the last scenario that you displayed remain on the worksheet. If you saved your initial values as a scenario, you can display those values before you close the Scenario Manager dialog box.
Merge scenarios
Select the worksheet in which to store the merged scenarios results.
On the Data tab, in the Data Tools group, click What-If Analysis, and then click Scenario Manager.
Click Merge.
In the Merge Scenarios dialog box, click the arrow next to Book and select a workbook that contains scenarios that you want to merge in your results.
In the Sheet box, click the name of the worksheet that contains scenarios that you want to merge.
Click OK to merge the scenarios from the selected worksheet into the current worksheet.
The Merge Scenarios dialog box closes, and the scenarios that you merged now appear in the Scenario Manager dialog box.
Repeat the preceding four steps as needed until you have merged all the scenarios that you want.
When you are finished, the scenarios that you merged are all part of the current worksheet. You can close the Scenario Manager dialog box, or leave it open to continue your analysis.
Create a scenario summary report
On the Data tab, in the Data Tools group, click What-If Analysis, and then click Scenario Manager.
Click Summary.
Click Scenario summary or Scenario PivotTable report.
In the Result cells box, enter the references for the cells that refer to cells whose values are changed by the scenarios. Separate multiple references with commas.
Scenario reports do not automatically recalculate. If you change the values of a scenario, those changes will not show up in an existing summary report, but will show up if you create a new summary report.
You don't need result cells to generate a scenario summary report, but you do need them for a scenario PivotTable report.

Home Improvement projects
Why Price Should Not Drive Your Hiring Decisions For Home Improvement Projects
Any house improvement project, such as a sliding patio door installation or installing vinyl siding, is a big one. While some owners tackle these projects themselves, many understand their own limitations and choose to hire a professional contracting company to handle major projects.
Solar Home Improvement Project
One of the fastest growing projects for homes has come with the advent of cheap solar panels. This project does go beyond a typical DIY job so we wanted to let you know about an Iowa Solar recommendation that we give out. Green Transitions has been helping people in the Midwest for almost five years with custom design solar panel installation. If you have any hesitation about taking this on yourself, definitely get in touch with these guys and you'll be well taken care of.
If you're considering hiring window replacement contractors or other professionals, consider each of what's known as the 'Four P's.'
Problems: What Are You Trying To Solve?
The first thing to consider is what you want done. What type of project are you doing on your home? For instance, if you're replacing windows, then hiring dedicated window contractors is what you want to do. If you need to install vinyl siding, it's important to find a business that's knowledgeable about the different types of vinyl siding. Hiring a contractor that follows the Vinyl Siding Institute's guidelines is important as well!
Products: Do Your Contractors Know What's Best?
There are a number of different products available for any home improvement project. The right contractors will take a look at what you need and match your home up with the products that best fit your needs. For instance, if you're looking at a sliding patio door installation, a knowledgeable patio door installer will be able to tell you if the item you've chosen won't work on your home.
Because they work with a number of different brands and products, they'll be able to help guide you toward what's best for your house structure. These professionals take a number of factors into consideration, such as price, the reputation of the brand and how it provides a solution for your home.
People: Are Your Roofing Contractors, For Instance, Well Known?
Whether you're installing vinyl siding, or having a sliding patio door installation done, you'll want to make sure the company you choose is well known locally. Particularly after a storm, roofing contractors can come from all over and start giving local homeowners quotes on repairing the damage.
While some of these companies may be reputable, hiring an out-of-town company can be a risk. Instead, look for a company with a constant presence in your area. While problems with a reputable company are typically rare, working with one that's established means you'll have some recourse if there's ever an issue.
It goes without saying that any company you hire for a project like a sliding patio door installation or installing vinyl siding should be certified and insured. A reputable remodeling company will be happy to tell you about their certifications. If you can't get a straight answer, run, don't walk, the other way.
Price: Lower Doesn't Mean Better
Price is obviously a factor in any home improvement project. A low-ball quote often means that workers are unskilled or that you'll find customer service to be lacking. Instead, realize that a higher price means that you'll be receiving qualified, skilled laborers, customer service that you can count on and a company owner that's committed to you, the homeowner.
Considering more than just price is a smart idea when undertaking home improvement projects. If you're about to hire window replacement contractors, are considering replacing your vinyl siding or doing any other type of project, make sure to find a qualified contractor.
How To Select Roofing Contractors and Painting Services For Your Home Improvement Needs
Choosing Roofing Contractors
Any type of remodeling done to homes comes with costs. But just because it does, letting any part of your home to decay is not the best alternative. One part of the house that should not be left to rot is the roof because it protects the interior. So, when it is time to repair or replace your roof, the work should not be left to amateurs. You need to find roofing contractors who can meet your needs as well as your budget.
Good roofing contractors do not only work on your roof, they also work with you to keep the costs low as possible and help you with insurance companies.
You can search for them in the industry's directory or you can ask your friends and acquaintances for any referrals of roofing contractors that they have used before.
The latter is usually the best option but it would not hurt to check whether a roofing contractor has a good standing with the industry's directory. The Internet is also another way of checking past performances of roofing contractors on your list through opinions from previous customers.
Checking the standing of roofing contractors before hiring one is a wise choice. Past job performances speak a lot about how a contractor takes a roofing job seriously. The opinions should not be the main factors that guide your decisions.
But, be vigilant with the feedback of past customers. You do not want to hire the services of someone who have received more than a few negative comments from their previous jobs. It is also a standard in the industry that roofing contractors should comply with standards and regulations according to the current building code. So, make sure your prospective roofing contractor complies with the industry's regulations.
A roofing job should be taken seriously because it can be costly and even disastrous if done haphazardly.
With the current state of the economy, it is always wise to try to do any home remodeling the first time. If you are still not satisfied with your list, do more research because you will ultimately get the value for your money for that roofing job.
Determine the Type of Painting Services Your Home Needs
A painting project for your home is a serious endeavour so, finding a contractor that can provide painting services for your home should be taken seriously. Before hiring any contractor, determine first the type of painting job you need.
Different types of painting jobs may also require different types of painting services from different contractors. That is, if the contractor you have chosen specializes on certain painting jobs.
Before hiring painting services from a contractor, assess whether your house needs paint for the exterior or does it only need paint for its interior. Although most contractors are capable of offering any type of painting services, it is still advisable to know what your house needs in order to assess how much it will cost.
If you need a painting job for the exterior of your house, assess first what needs to be done. Exterior areas of your house need to check the condition of the area that needs to be painted. Some materials may need some repair before any painting can be successfully done on it. Doing this avoids the hassle of painting rework and additional costs.
Painting the interior of your house is another matter. It is not only about applying paint on walls, it includes some improvements on cabinets or putting textures on certain walls.
So, interior painting is more detail oriented than the exterior. The contractor you hire to provide the painting services should be exceptionally detail oriented but does not lose focus on the quality.
Choosing the right contractor to do the painting services for your home will give you satisfaction. So, to avoid headaches and a lousy job, consider hiring the services of a trusted and tested contractor.
Ask friends and acquaintances for recommendations of contractors they have hired for painting services in the past.
You can also check a list of contractors who offer painting services in the industry's directory. Another method is to check opinions of previous customers on the contractor's website.
Although it is not always advisable to rely on those opinions, you would not want to hire someone who have received more than a few negative feedback.

Julie Matthews on songwriting
My guest blogger this week is singer and songwriter Julie Matthews.
Well known for her many performances and albums with Chris While, Julie was also one of the main writers on the 2006 BBC Radio 2 Radio Ballads. As well as that - she's a good egg and all this week she's going to be telling us what she's been up to.
Julie Matthews writes:
Being a songwriter gives me a wonderful freedom of expression and I see my job as three fold; confession, observation and social comment. The first is a kind of therapy for me; I get to express my feelings and experiences. The second, I borrow from the feelings and experiences of those around me but the third is the most challenging and if I manage to pull it off, the most rewarding.
A few months ago I came across an article about Comfort Women. During World War Two, the Japanese government adopted a policy of sexual slavery to serve their military. Young girls were taken from their homes or from prisoner of war camps and put into 'Comfort stations' where they remained until the war was over. Most of these women never spoke of their experiences until recently and now there is a movement, aided by Amnesty International to seek recognition, justice and restitution for these amazing women, now in their late seventies and eighties. The more I read the more horrified I was and at the same time, it inspired me to write a song. I had followed the story of one of these women, Gil Won Ok so in order to make the song personal and identifiable I based it around her and her resilience and wrote it in the first person. It is called 'Take these Bones'.
From there, the snowball effect took place. Chris (While) and I decided to include it on our forthcoming album. We then decided it needed a choir and taught a variety of parts to our vocal workshops, Rejoice the Voice. Bearing in mind these women are amateur singers and were working to Chris silently conducting a tempo while I recorded them, they were amazing and the result was a 250 strong women's choir on the track. I had wanted to spread this story and raise the profile of the Comfort Women with the song and it seemed before the track was even put on the album, the journey had started.
The full circle for me came when I finally made contact with Gil Won Ok with the help of Amnesty International and 'The Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery by
Someone said to me at the start of my song writing career that I shouldn't mix politics with music. I am so glad I never listened.

Julie, I love that comment you occasionally make at gigs: "Never fall out with a singer-songwriter or you'll be in the next one". That is SO true!

I was really moved by the content and presentation of the Radio ballards at Party on the Lawn. Even on such a happy sunny funfilled day I thought that they played an important part, adding depth and emotion. These are important issues which Julie should be celebrated for raising.

Welcome to Windbreak House.
Celebrating 20 Years of Writing Retreats! (1996 - 2016)
In the center of the nation, deep in the grasslands of western South Dakota, essayist and poet Linda M. Hasselstrom grew up as an only child on a family cattle ranch homesteaded by a Swedish cobbler in 1899.
Today she invites you to benefit from a writing retreat on that same ranch. Come to the house where she discovered the Great Plains outside her windows, where she began to write the poetry and non-fiction books that have established her as one of the strongest voices on behalf of the prairie.
Linda holds a BA in English and Journalism, an MA in American Literature, and has been a teacher of writing for more than 45 years. She has hosted writing retreats at her ranch since 1996.
Not a writer but a reader? Enjoy Linda's vivid descriptions of her life and work on the ranch, as a writer, and as an advocate for the preservation of the prairies and the people and wildlife who inhabit them.

New Season of Writing Retreats!
I'm keeping busy with online Writing Conversations by eMail and have been holding a steady schedule of Writing Retreats right through the summer. One writer has already reserved her dates for January, 2017.
If you would like to spend some time writing at Windbreak House see the
Retreats Page
for the list of available retreat dates in 2016 and all the details you need to know about applying for a writing retreat (working with me) or a solitary retreat for some peaceful writing and time to think.
If you can't take a retreat holiday because your time or your budget is tight, we can still have some productive writing fun together online. See the
Online Writing Help Page
for complete details on how to sign up for a Writing Conversation by eMail.
New Retreat Blogs!
Susan wrote a blog about her January, 2016 writing retreat-- you'll get a few writing tips while you enjoy reading about her experience.
And I recently wrote a blog about having a successful writing retreat, which may be of interest.
New Youtube Video!
In honor of National Poetry Month, and specifically National Cowboy Poetry Week (April 17th through the 23rd), I recorded some stories and readings as a tribute to Badger Clark, South Dakota's first Poet Laureate. I was inspired by a number of writers and poets during my childhood-- notably Mari Sandoz and Badger Clark, who each wrote about the west that I knew from my life on the ranch.

New blogs posted in March and April
"Poetry in the Schools" -- posted March 11th
I was helped by many teachers during my school days; I recently returned the favor by making a school visit and by judging a preliminary round of a Poetry Out Loud contest.
My school stories are found on my WordPress blog
"Feeding South Dakota: Empty Bowls" -- posted March 17th
You can get involved in helping your community in many ways. This March in the Rapid City area we are fighting hunger through an Empty Bowls event to benefit the BackPack Program which helps feed children by sending meals home for the weekend when school lunches aren't available.
Learn about Empty Bowls and see my bowl at my WordPress blog
"Rendezvous Stories: Liberating Buckskinners" -- posted March 25th
Another in the series of Rendezvous stories from my days of camping with my husband George at mountain man re-enactment camps. In this story I discuss women's liberation with some-- shall we say-- old fashioned men.
You'll find the Rendezvous story here
"Book Remarks: There Used To Be A Guy But He Died" -- posted April 9th
Alan Wilkinson has written a couple of darn good books about his travels to the USA.
There Used To Be A Guy . . . But He Died
follows his bike trip across Nebraska, while
Red House on the Niobrara
tells the story of his stay in a Nebraska cabin while he studies the country that helped shape the author Mari Sandoz.

In 2015 some of my writing appeared in various periodicals and books,
In "Writers on the Range," syndicated by
High Country News
February 4, 2015, "Let's talk about the 'Z' word"
An opinion piece where I discuss the need to plan for a responsible future.

South Dakota Magazine
In the May/June issue, "Letters to Graduates"
My letter was one of a number chosen for publication. I wrote about my expectations for my life as I was graduating college, how I have accomplished some of my goals, and how I have come to believe that, as my father used to quote, "a man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be."
In the July/August issue, "Saving South Dakota's Birds of Prey: The Black Hills Raptor Center"
One of my favorite local non-profits, the Black Hills Raptor Center is in the process of expanding their mission of education of the public and rehabilitation of raptors and owls by building a new facility. I hope my article will bring them more publicity and donations. Chip in a little to help the birds, if you are so inclined.

Take some time to enjoy the outdoors.
The Retreat House offers plenty of chairs and tables in the yard. Cushions are stored in the living room closet so you can make yourself comfortable.
A spring day at the Writing Retreat: the first thing you notice is the early morning glow changing from pink to yellow as the sun tops the rolling pasture hills far to the east.
Sip your morning brew at one of the outdoor spots in the yard as you plan your day and listen to the birds— the clear notes of a dozen meadowlarks blend into a complicated medley; a flock of red-winged blackbirds in the top of a cottonwood sound like a playground full of rusty swings before they disperse for the day; that jungle-like
comes from a collared dove, a recent invader from Eurasia that now competes with the native mourning dove; and a lone robin chuckles and chirrups in the juniper windbreak, as happy in the country as it is on a suburban lawn.
Then head back inside the retreat house rejuvenated and ready for the words to flow from your fingers. Later in the day it's time for your meeting with Linda to discuss your project, ask questions, trade reading recommendations and share writing stories.
To balance your time spent sitting and writing, take a few minutes each day to appreciate this unique grasslands ecosystem. Stroll around the ranch yard or hike one of the ranch trails. You might see one or two cows babysitting a group of calves while the other mamas are grazing. Perhaps a red-tailed hawk will swoop to the ground and rise with a vole or snake clutched in its talons. Or maybe a flash of white will catch your eye and a pronghorn doe with twin fawns will suddenly be apparent on that empty hillside. Borrow one of the field guides from the retreat house to identify the plants underfoot. Search the ground for that perfect rock—be it a white crystal, a flat plate of dark red, or a chunk of yellow limestone—to take home and use as a paperweight or tuck into your flower garden to remind you of your time at Windbreak House Writing Retreats.
The retreat house is comfortable in any weather: it has a sturdy propane furnace for the cold months and has many electric fans for the dog days of summer. Out in the country the air always cools down at night, even after a scorching summer day, so the windows can be opened in the evening as "country air-conditioning." Despite the sunny warm days of fall, at night you'll be glad for the cozy quilts and blankets on each bed, and the fuzzy lap robes and throws on the couch and chairs.
If you can't make the drive to my prairie ranch, we can still work on your writing together through a Writing Conversation by eMail.
* * *
Here are some suggestions for exercising at Homestead House during your retreat:
Use the large open space in the living room or in Meadowlark bedroom for a mini gym or yoga studio.
Homestead House is far from other houses or roads and the yard is surrounded by windbreak trees and bushes, so you can exercise in privacy outside.
Run or walk on the relatively flat gravel driveways.
Hike on one of the primitive dirt roads used occasionally by ranch vehicles.
Follow some of the narrow dirt cow trails that usually run between the corrals, good grazing and a water source.
Or just set off across the pasture on your way to the top of that hill, or to the clump of trees, rock outcropping, or the stock dam you can see in the distance.
Ask to see the Homestead House binder with hiking suggestions. Walking sticks are kept at the kitchen door or in the living room closet. Let us know if you'd like a hiking partner. Linda's assistant Tam, and her large friendly dog Rue, are usually willing and able to accompany you if you'd prefer not to hike alone.

My neighbours are great people, I live in a side-by-side duplex. I practice in the basement, and Ive told them that I will not practice past 8 PM in the evening. With my schedule this can be trying at times to get everything done and my routine done by 8. I do have a quiet mute that I use if I play past 8, and even though the mute can have its advantages, the back-pressure sometimes gets annoying, and you just want to play Open. So I went to the store and bought a good-sized plastic storage bin, and a roll of 2 Inch thick foam. I lined the bin with the foam and cut a hole in the end of it, so I can get my bell into the bin easily.
Taped the box to a music stand and positioned it so I can easily put the bell inside at my normal playing position. Geez, my better half cant even hear me when shes just above me in the living room and Im playing wide open downstairs. Plus the horn plays with Normal backpressure ! Ive read lately by a few of you that you find it hard to find a place to practice and not bother anyone, This is the ticket to wide open playing with no worry about bothering the neighbours. Now Im wondering what it would be like to record this way placing the mike inside the bin, talk about a flat signal !!!! I will try recording soon to see what it sounds like. Just thought I would pass this on to those who worry about bothering neighbours.
I need to give this thing a name !! Mobile studio .trumpet silencer .Practice box .Padded room for trumpet players !!!
