If I was on that team I wouldn't want to be on that plane back to Korea in a week. They have one more game and I'd be digging tunnels to make my escape at halftime, Sylvester Stallone style.
Sweet Sassy Molassy? What are you, Foghorn Leghorn?
Something tells me those North Koreans soccer players are going to be doing some involuntary hard labor when they get home.

It's wedding bells for Rush Limbaugh – for the fourth time.
The conservative firebrand, 59, exchanged vows with Kathryn Rogers – a blond bombshell half his age – in a lavish Hawaiian-themed wedding bash headlined by none-other-than Sir Elton John Saturday in Florida.
It's an odd pairing considering El Rushbo's history of anti-gay commentary on his conservative radio show and the openly gay "Tiny Dancer" singer's longtime commitment to gay rights.

Energy Efficient Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Be kind to your pocketbook, lower bills
- Reduce energy needs
- Thermal picks maintain inside temps
- Absorb outside heat & cold
- Block UV rays, protect furnishings
Add energy efficiency to your home by choosing the right window coverings. An insulating window shade will quickly pay for itself by lowering your heating and cooling bills. Cellular shades are the best insulator with year-round efficiency, and shutters are also a great choice. Roman shades and custom drapery with thermal lining also provide good insulation. Remember that shades must be closed to provide insulation, so choose a fabric opacity that fits your lighting needs. Solar screen shades provide view-through and summertime efficiency but should be paired with another treatment for nighttime privacy and winter insulation.

"Best blind purchase yet"
By Blackout BlindsFan from Portland
These blinds are amazing for blocking out light. Easy to install. Depending on window framing you will have to install small amounts of weather striping to get the last tiny bits of light blocked out (Small amount included). The bottom of my window was not level and had a slight light streak I purchased some weather stripping and when blind is closed no light (Attached it to bottom of blind). If you need to block out light in your room for sleeping or home theater take a look at these. They are amazing at blocking light. I plan to purchase them again soon to start blocking more light out of my theater room.View this product
By from North Carolina
My husband and I work night shift and trying to sleep during the day with regular blinds/curtains is almost impossible. We bought and installed theses blinds in our bedroom, absolutely no light escapes thru. We were amazed and completely satisfied. They were easy to install and look great! Thank-you Blindsgalore!View this product

Les Halles!� Parisian heaven for cooks and food lovers!� Shops and eateries on every corner, each with its own specialty – cheeses, cutlery, pig's head, onion soup, copper.� It's that last, copper, that I'm hunting.� At Dehillerhan, the shop recognized worldwide as copper royalty.� I own a paella pan brought from here years ago.� But I've dreamed of coming here myself to choose a copper item.
The shop's charm is in its lack of charm.� Creaky wooden floors, sturdy shelving tightly packed and piled nearly 2 stories high with equipment of every sort, some beautiful and useful, some just useful, but none just beautiful.� Each piece has a purpose.� Stockpots big enough to bathe in and stirring spoons the size of canoe paddles, obviously not for home use. Tourists squeeze through the narrow aisles, some calculate prices and squeeze out again, some look at each piece and sigh, others look with purpose.� I am one of those.� I know what I want – thick copper with sturdy lining to age beautifully while shouldering a bouef bourguinon or coq au vin without toughening the meat.� I find it, but continue wandering just for the pleasure of touching each item and listening to the clerks field phone calls in French.
When I put my hand on it, one of the attendants appears at my side, speaking perfect American-English.� He climbs a ladder high above the room to mine a shiny, new one, still in its box.� Then discusses the best way, the fastest way, and most economical way to get it home.� I choose to keep it in my possession.� He packs it
in sturdy double bags marked with the colorful chicken logo.� And I'm off.� It's cold and rainy enough in Paris to use the pot immediately.� But I'm going home to July heat where I will place it on the kitchen counter to admire for a few months.

Search destinations
Flights By WeatherMost people choose a location and then start thinking about the weather over there. We like to do it differently. We choose to base our travel related decisions only based on weather. So first we search for a location with our kind of weather and then we choose between the locations that match our set weather conditions. Sounds a good idea to me? Well, why else would we have created this site - initially it was meant just for one person, myself. To make it easier for me to find a perfect spot to travel to. But like things usually go, the project started being bigger and bigger and...then I decided to make it available to everyone and maybe even earn something with it. Have fun!

"Entertainment Tonight's" Nancy O'Dell on living the sandwich generation's challenge: making time for yourself amid motherhood, caregiving and career.
On any given day, Nancy O'Dell may be juggling an interview with stars like Madonna and Jamie Foxx or�First Lady Michelle Obama with the demanding schedules of three kids�daughter Ashby, 7, and stepsons Carson, 14, and Tyler, 18. But there�s one thing the Entertainment Tonight co-host doesn�t let slip: her sleep. �I really make it a priority to get my full 7-8 hours,� she says. �My husband, Keith, and I have adjusted our sleep schedules to our kids�, so I�m usually asleep by 9.� As ET kicks off its 34th season this month, we asked the Myrtle Beach, S.C. native, 48, to share her secrets to work-life balance, the challenges of the sandwich generation and her favorite celebrity interview. We�ve heard you�re a runner. How do you find the time? I wake up at 4:30 a.m. to run on the treadmill, because in the evening I�d rather spend time with my family. I also use treadmill time to catch up on TV shows, and listen in during our show�s 5:30 a.m. conference call. What�s your advice for beginning runners? Treadmills provide a great way for both beginners and seasoned runners to maintain a running plan. I use it to change up my routine by adjusting inclines and speed. I also try to�keep exercise fun. One day I left my heart-rate monitor on, and found out that a vigorous game of tag with Ashby and our Yorkshire terrier, Buttercup, burned more calories than I had on my morning run. Any tips for healthy meals on the fly? I prep and marinate chicken or fish and veggies in the morning that we can grill for dinner as a family. We grill everything�even salad! Grilled romaine lettuce tastes great after you add some Parmesan cheese and vinaigrette. You lost your mom, Betty, to ALS in 2008. How was she diagnosed? My mom�s illness and death were the hardest things I�ve ever had to go through. We were very close. Her doctor thought she had Parkinson�s at first, but then a friend�suggested she be tested for ALS�(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig�s disease), a degenerative neuromuscular�disorder for which there is no cure. She was diagnosed on Nov. 1. I always say that God gave me�several months to enjoy being a new mom and for my mom to enjoy�Ashby, who had been born in June, before she received the devastating diagnosis. What�s your advice for other women in the �sandwich generation��juggling young children and aging parents? When my mom was first diagnosed, I wanted to do everything myself,�and that was impossible, especially since she lived in�South Carolina and I was in California. I learned to�accept others� offers of help. But I didn�t make the time to go running, and I didn�t watch what I ate. As a result, I didn�t feel healthy or have any�energy. About a month after my mom died, I started�trying to eat better and exercise again. I knew that if I didn�t take care of myself, I wouldn�t be able to�take care of Ashby and my family.

Skip to comments.Rick Perry rebound in Iowa: Assisted by veterans?
Posted on 12/14/2011 6:07:52 PM PST by smoothsailing
By Liz Marlantes, DCDecoder / December 14, 2011
Lots of news stories today about how the race to win Iowa is still wide open. The New York Times Nate Silver takes a whirl through the polling data and says any of five candidates could plausibly win. And Politicos Maggie Haberman reports that internal poll numbers from the Mitt Romney and Rick Perry camps show Newt Gingrichs lead in Iowa is indeed slipping.
Interestingly, she also quotes a veteran GOP caucus-watcher as saying:
Watch Rick Perry. Hes going for a top three finish, and that could be to Romneys expense.
Weve found ourselves wondering about Perry, whos kicking off a 42-city Iowa bus tour today. Notably, two recent Iowa polls have shown a slight uptick in Perrys support. In particular, an American Research Group (ARG) poll released yesterday (Tuesday) showed him gaining 8 points...
...And despite some intense Internet mockery, Perrys Strong ad - where he criticizes the fact that gay soldiers can serve openly in the military while children cant celebrate Christmas in school - may be generating some traction in the state.
In particular, Decoder is now wondering if the ads appeal was actually two-fold - going beyond Christian conservatives to another potentially powerful voting bloc: veterans...
(Excerpt) Read more at csmonitor.com ...
Iowans are coming to their senses
Don't forget about the strike force......
Go Rick Perry. Take at least a few votes from LRon. Please.
Feel better now?
And there's not a damn thing wrong with him noting that fact. Welcome back Rick! Go for the throats.
I have no loyalties. My vote can be lobbied by the following three candidates: Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann or Rick Santorum.
Newt is not gonna do it. Rooting for Rick!
You're exactly right. Heck, all he's doing is telling the truth. That terrifies the left but they're not gonna vote for him anyway.
Rick has the right idea.
Boots on the ground!
When is the primary where you vote?
As far as the veterans? He has had them behind him from the beginning.
If Iowans give us Paul, Newt, or Romney, these primary voters should be considered morons, and Republican candidates should skip the Iowa caucuses next time around.
March 6
Veterans along with households with veterans maybe sway 20% of the conservative vote. The Pew typology survey put "Enterprisers"...essentially Reagan Republicans...as most likely to have served. Maybe this is a good strategy short term but Perry is no Reagan. Who actually supported Reagan in 1976..Paul did, perhaps Newt...that's about it I think.
What mylife said, "March 6." It may or may not be critical by then. However, it's early enough that it could make a difference.
El Paso
One can only hope. A top three would be a huge victory for Governor Rick.
Bachmann and Santorum will most likely be gone by then, so I'm marking you down as a Perry vote. :)
Sure hope so. It's starting to look good.
Kind of funny using that graphic. If you remember, Rommel (or at least "Rommel's plan") was in the process of getting his ass kicked when Patton says that. Hmmm...
If they are gone by then, you can mark me down as a Perry vote. That's a given at that point.
500-700 folks the last I heard!
I actually liked Perry's.
Generally there is a nominee long before they get to our vote.
I like them all. They are all very funny.
There is a subtle irony to it, but Patton isn't running for President. :)
Patton was complimenting Rommel on his strategy and tactics, IIRC. "Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!"
If we don't have a clear nominee and Perry's still haning around, chalk me up then. If it's Gingrich and Romney, I'll have to hold my nose and vote.
IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.
IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.
Perry was one of the Reagan Democrats, he voted for Reagan both times.
And I poo'd in space!
Then you are smart enough to know a Conservative when you see one.
I agree.
But I'm voting for Perry!
If by the time to get here to Texas, we're down to Gingrich, Romney and Perry, it's a no-brainer at that point.
Maybe? Heck, having the support of veterans is always a good thing.
As for Perry being no Reagan, well of course.
Only Reagan could do Reagan, and he did it damn good!
Sorry. Did not see you posted same pic earlier.
That's OK, it's worth posting twice! The contrast between the two is stunning. It's obvious who the determined leader is, and it's obvious who the posing phony is.
Well done! :-D
That's Great, potlatch! :o)

How to prepare for new flooring
Whether you go for vinyl, carpet or even ceramic tiles, changing your floor covering is a great way to give a room a new lease of life. But before you start work, make sure the surface underneath is sound and level. If it isn't, any defects are likely to show through. This will spoil the look of your new floor and eventually cause it to wear unevenly. Luckily, there are some effective ways to deal with problem floors which we will share with you.

Are Consumers Getting Ripped Off by Overdraft Fees?
NEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is investigating bank overdraft practices since consumers paid $32 billion in overdraft fees last year.
The CFPB study shows overdraft coverage varies significantly by financial institution and that consumers who sign up for overdraft coverage have higher costs and more involuntary account closures.
Overdraft and non-sufficient fund fees have become a huge source of industry revenues. According to the CFPB, these fees account for 61% of consumer checking account fee income.
"Consumers need to be able to anticipate and avoid unnecessary fees on their checking accounts. But we are concerned that overdraft programs at some banks may be increasing consumer costs," CFPB Director Richard Cordray said. "What is often marketed as overdraft protection may actually be putting consumers at greater risk of harm."
A consumer can trigger an overdraft by spending or withdrawing more money from their checking accounts than is available. If the bank covers the payments with an advance, it charges a fixed overdraft fee for doing so. The institution can also choose to return the payment and charge a non-sufficient fund fee. Automated systems now make decisions for most banks.
Last year's $32 billion in overdraft fees was a $400 million jump from 2011 according to a recent study by Moebs Services . This 1.3% increase came almost entirely from a greater number of overdrafts rather than an increase in the price of the fee. Overdraft volume during the first quarter of last year actually fell to an 11-year low, but the number of overdraft transactions during the last nine months of the year rose 4.4%.
In July 2010, the Federal Reserve required banks to get permission from each checking account customer before the bank provided overdraft protection for ATM and debit card transactions. If consumers did not "opt in" for this coverage, debit card transactions made at store level or withdrawals from an ATM for an amount greater than the account's balance would be denied and no overdraft fee could be charged. The CFPB shows that in 2011, more than 40% of all new customers opted in for overdraft protection.
There are additional consequences for consumers who opt in, while heavy overdrafters who opted out reduced their fees by more than $450 in the second half of 2010. Consumers who opt in are more likely to end up with involuntary account closures -- the CFPB found that some banks had involuntary closure rates that were more than 2.5 times higher for accounts that had opted in to debit and ATM overdraft coverage.
The CFPB study also shows that it is difficult to compare overdraft costs by bank because the policies are complex and different. Banks post transactions in a different order, which can affect the number of transactions that trigger an overdraft fee. Overdraft coverage limits and fee structure also varies by institution. For example, some banks charge only overdraft fees for transactions that overdraw the account by more than $5, while other banks charge fees on every overdraft transaction regardless of the size.

Stupid Weeden. Only a dick would allow the Browns to draft him.
Unless he's a cutie pie with great big doe eyes. Then it's OK.
No way it could be because someone didn't and doesn't think he can play. God, do those people look foolish. Sure is crazy to put any stock in what people said before the draft, and that Greg Cosell blurb wasn't even close to accurate.
Good God... "personal dislike"... Bwah!!!!! Talk about butt-hurt.
No, you're right. The respect afforded Weeden after being drafted was exactly the same as Colt or Quinn. No one said anything negative about them prior to the draft. Drafting them wasn't a "mistake".
True. I forgot about the Colt McCoy Parade the citizens of Cleveland put on when he was drafted in the third round that one year. That was a good time. The beer & steer dinner in honor of the long horn was a great way to end that festive occasion.
And the Quinn pick didn't do anything in particular for me. I wasn't the one at Panini's sharing hugs with fellow Browns fans. But I know some who were. Solid history of picking guys out for success.

My column today has my thoughts about Obama's alleged "scandal trifecta" as of Friday morning, when I wrote it. �My bottom line was "not so fast." �Big time scandals in presidential second terms grow into significance over a period of months, not days — and some fall apart and are quickly forgotten when the emerging facts don't match up with either side's highest hope or darkest fears. So we'll see.
As I mentioned in an earlier comment,
I find it ironic that two post-Watergate laws, intended to protect the IRS and the DoJ from the kind of political interference wielded by Nixon, who used both agencies to go after his enemies, may insulate Obama from accountability. One report I saw said everyone involved in this business, with one single exception, was under Civil Service � an earlier reform designed to keep politics out of the IRS.
It�s possible, as most people assume, that there�s a phone call or e-mail tying these actions to Obama�s inner circle. Produce it and you have a case. Interview people. Ask them what happened; who made decisions, who informed whom. The investigation so far, waged by the IRS Inspector General, makes it look like a bureaucratic snafu. Today�s NYT reporting makes it sound like an episode out of "The Office":
Guess it�s a vain hope to think the question of what happened with the IRS will be answered with the facts of what happened with the IRS.

Cozumel Island & Reef Map by Franko Maps
This is the first of a series of Caribbean Maps that started in October of 2003. This most recent edition was reviewed and edited by Cozumel islanders and
is re-published regularly so as to be current and up-to-date!
Cozumel is an island just off the Yucatan Peninsula of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. The Franko Map of Cozumel features a layout of Isla de Cozumel based on nautical charts and aerial photos. Cozumels roads, Maya ruins, resorts and other features are shown on side one.

Most importantly, is the location and detailed descriptions of over 55 scuba diving and snorkeling sites for which Cozumel has its prestige and fame. It is noteworthy to say that Cozumel boasts some of the most outstanding scuba diving on earth. One could claim that as many as five of the top ten scuba sites in the world are along Cozumels leeward (west) side. The descriptions of these underwater walls, coral pinnacles and buttresses and coral gardens is briefly told for each one, and then on side two of the map there is a drawing and descriptions of these features in general. The Franko Map of Cozumel also shows a number of dive sites on the windward side of Cozumel.
For those who are interested, Cozumel also has a trio of notable surf spots, which are located on the map. Cannons, anchors and other artifacts are found in the waters of Cozumel. The Franko Map of Cozumel shows a sampling of these items dating from the Sapanish exploration era onward. Maya ruin sites, where there still can be found beautiful examples of former great cites in Cozumels interior are also located on this map. Some folks travel to Cozumel just to see the ruins.
Since much of Cozumel is a Marine Park (Marine Parque Arricefes De Cozumel), it is certain that this map fits right into our love of the underwater world. It also follows that no
Franko Map
which caters to a beautiful island and its diving would be complete without local reef creature information. In fact, the finishing touch on side one of the Franko Map of Cozumel is the Caribbean reef creatures guide. This data includes over 100 species of fish, invertebrates, corals and sponges, depicted in full color with names for easy identification. This includes everything from green sea and hawksbill turtles to white-spotted eagle rays, trumpetfish, blacktip reef sharks, and longspine squirrelfish. It also includes mountainous star coral, finger coral, sheet coral, sea fans, and the one coral feared by divers and snorkelers - fire coral. The favorite of all of Cozumels undersea creatures is its own unique Cozumel splendid toadfish. This beautiful depiction of Cozumel's fabulous undersea life is a combination of carefully drawn artwork, intermingled with underwater photography that has been blended into the artwork.
Side two
of the Franko Map of Cozumel features a couple of zoom-ins and a Cozumel Reefs explanation and artwork. The first feature is a map of Greater San Miguel, which covers much of the west coast, from the Cozumel Country Club on the north to Chankanaab Marine National Park on the south. Chankanaab Park is also show in an enlarged detail. The locations of the dive spots defined on side one are more closely shown here. A few undersea photos of the reefs and sights highlight this map. Although this detail shows many of the hotels and resorts along Cozumels leeward side, the City of San Miguel itself deserves an even closer detail. And thus the detail called A Detailed Map of Downtown San Miguel was created. Many of Cozumels original dive shops are located in this detail, along with the citys main features, such as the cruise ship terminals, the route to the airport, Plaza San Miguel, hotels, and even grocery stores. A picture of a statue of the archangel San Miguel (Saint Michael), which was photographed at Cozumels beautiful San Miguel Church, shows exactly what this fine city was named after. This city map and the details on the other parts of the map make getting around on Cozumel via car, vespa, bike, or walking easy. Also included is a section on Coral Reefs detail,a Cozumel Coral Garden, such as might be found at Santa Rosa Shallows or Paradise Reef.
The Franko Map of Cozumel is a must have for anyone visiting or diving at Cozumel.

Cozumel / Mexican Caribbean Reef Creatures ID Cards
Left Detail
Right Detail
The first of a series of Caribbean Reef Creatures fish cards is this one of Cozumel (6" x 9"). On side one there are fish - lots and lots of colorful, tropical, Caribbean fish, plus invertebrates, sponges, and corals. There are over 100 species shown.
There are big fish like the nurse shark, tiny fish like the blue chromis, and middle-size fish like the princess parrotfish. There are fat ones like the blue parrotfish, skinny ones like the trumpetfish, sleek ones like the cero, box-shaped ones like the spotted trunkfish, round ones like the spotfin butterflyfish, wide ones like the eagle ray, and much more. Then there are colorful sponges and corals. The cutest one of all may be the seahorse. The scariest thing on the card is probably the fire coral. The list is almost like a top-100 of favorite critters in Cozumel waters.
Technically, all of these fish are depicted on side two of this fish card. On side one the main feature is a mini-map of Cozumel, taken from The Franko Map of Cozumel. It shows the name and location of Cozumels principle dive sites, plus a few more fish (there wasnt enough room on the other side of the fish card for all of them!).
The second in the series features Mexican Caribbean Reef Creatures (4" x 6").
Both cards are made of stiff, laminated plastic, with a hole for a lanyard.
Take them snorkeling or scuba diving with you!

Dogs are loud, rambunctious pets while cats are delicate and quiet, right? Not always. Some felines can actually be quite vocal--frequently meowing, purring, hissing or making other noises. If you have a talkative cat, you may be wondering what makes him so verbose.
Breed and behavior makes a difference
According to LoveMeow.com, some breeds are louder than others. For instance, Siamese cats are typically quiet, while Maine Coon cats often have a lot to say. Other times, frequent vocalization can simply be attributed to a behavioral quirk. Felines can be very attentive to their owners, so if you frequently talk to your cat, or are a chatty person yourself, you may find he develops a liking for talking back.
He's trying to tell you something
The Oregon Humane Society says that vocalizations are one way cats try to communicate. Often, they're simply looking for attention, and petting or playing with your pet can help soothe him. However, if the meowing is incessant and becomes an irritation, it is best to ignore the behavior, as attention will only encourage him to keep talking.
Medical issues
If your cat hasn't always been a talker, but begins to vocalize often, it may be a sign of a medical issue. If you're concerned, it's always best to take your pet to one of your nearby vet hospitals for a checkup. On the flip side, once-vocal cats who suddenly become silent should also be brought in for medical attention.
Meowing indoor cats
Cats who have lived most of their lives as outdoor pets often become vocal if for some reason they are required to remain indoors for a certain period of time. There are many ways to combat this issue, according to the organization. Spaying a cat can often cut down on her urges to go outside, and may also reduce hormones that would make her vocalize otherwise. Playing with your cat can also help him become more comfortable within the home, as he'll be able to get his exercise with you indoors. This can also reduce his risk of developing obesity in cats.
Life transitions
Cats who have recently gone through a transition may also be more likely to meow, as this is a way for them to express confusion, stress or anxiety. A transition can be something as simple as a change in your work schedule, and thus the hours you are available to your pet, to more major changes, like a move. The key here is to be patient, as your cat likely needs time to adjust, and will quiet down on his own.
Grieving cats
If your feline has recently lost an animal or person with whom it was close, it's likely going to experience a period of grieving, which may be accompanied by vocalizations. During this time, he may need extra comfort from you in the form of playing or cuddling. The organization also suggests trying to keep the cat's schedule as consistent as possible.

Woodcock Cemetery
Woodcock Cemetery in Andrew County, Missouri, was uncatalogued until the volunteers of the PACT Project pitched in, literally digging up some of the tombstones from pretty impressive depths. Eventually, they found 23 legible markers representing over 25 people.
In the early days of entering information into my database, map coordinates weren't that easy to come by, and with my slow internet connection, it just took too long to try to look them up. That's no longer the case — except for the slow connection part — but that also means that some of the oldest location entries haven't yet had the GPS coordinates verified. So if you find someone who should be in Los Angeles, but the little pointer indicates Cleveland — or sometimes Siberia! — this is why.
The Cousin Collector
I started researching my own family after my husband's best friend died. I went with his wife when she was making final arrangements and listened in awe as she answered basic questions about his family and realized I didn't know that stuff about my own husband's relatives -- let alone my own.
It wasn't long before I was bitten by the bug and this hobby took on a life of it's own. After many years, I still have a hard time reigning myself in when someone asks me what I do -- we have a horse thief, a couple of questionable killings, and a pillar of the community whose funeral shut down the whole town when he died. Unfortunately, and I'm not alone in this, I have more ideas than time and too many projects in the works to count, or finish, before someone is taking a photo of *my* grave stone.
I started with my step-father's family because he sent me the research that had been done by his aunt's husband and I found it fascinating. It's really amazing what a great job he did 30 years ago without all the online resources we now take for granted. He had a few holes that I was thrilled to be able to fill.
Unfortunately, it is also the case that too often "if it's on the InterWebs it must be true." Not. While I welcome feedback and corrections -- I'm sure there will be some -- if your only reference is an unsourced tree on Ancestry.com, please don't bother. I've probably already seen it. I cringe when I find some of these factual mutilations.
The Pulley House
The Pulley house was built c. 1835 near Speed, Cooper County, Missouri. It is unknown whether the home was built by Deverix Pulley or his son, Lorenzo Dow Pulley.
I've tried many ways over the years to publish the work my friend, Kelly, and I have done with the Missouri cemeteries, and the local cemeteries I've worked on. I always run into some snag or another and realized that it would be so much easier to just use my genealogy program to record these. Especially since the catalyst for the project in the first place was trying to find some of my illusive ancestors, especially the ladies who married and disappeared.
It worked. I found all of the women from one family buried in the same cemetery with their parents, including an infant that no one else seemed to know about, thanks to the generosity of the Missouri State Archives and their death certificates database.

5 Crucial Questions to Ask About Your Retirement
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's little doubt Americans are struggling to save for retirement .
About 49% of U.S. adults express serious reservations about saving enough for their post-career years, according to a study by the Employee Benefits Research Institute .
What's more, 46% of Americans are so disenchanted about their lack of long-term savings that they haven't bothered to calculate how much they'll need to live on in retirement.
That's like taking your car on a long vacation and not bothering to check the fuel gauge before you pull out -- and you don't know how much money you have in your pocket for gas along the way.
John Bucsek, CFP and managing director at MetLife
Bucsek urges Americans to ask (and answer) five key questions about their retirements:
1: Do your accumulated savings and other sources of income replace about 80% of your pre-retirement income?
Bucsek: When determining sources of income you want to look at Social Security and pension funds in addition to 401(k) and IA funds you may have in place. For example, if your pre-retirement income is $100,000, your goal is to have $80,000 of retirement income per year. This number assumes retirees may be able to maintain their standard of living with less income because their taxes could be lower, there would be no need for retirement salary deferrals, their mortgages would be paid off before or soon after they retire and they would no longer have work-related expenses.
2: Will you be in a high Social Security bracket?
Bucsek: Social Security may replace a lower proportion of your pre-retirement income if you had high earnings over your career. From the example above, one should subtract Social Security , which would be $21,600 -- leaving $58,400 to come from other sources. For those with lifetime "high" annual earnings, Social Security will replace a lower percentage as compared with someone who had a lifetime of "medium" earnings, in which case they will get a higher percentage.
3: What is the degree of risk in your portfolio?
Bucsek: Market fluctuations, interest rate changes and inflation can have a significant impact on retirement, especially if there are substantial losses before and at retirement. It might be a good idea to use a moderate return rate for your long-term projections, which involves a lower degree of risk and helps prevent your retirement funds taking a big hit while you're in or close to retirement. Work with your financial adviser and recalculate every year to be sure you are on track.

Houston Texans Autographed Memorabilia and Collectibles
The Houston Texans have enjoyed a large amount of success in the National Football League despite being the league's youngest franchise. As the NFL's latest expansion team, the Texans joined the league in 2002. The City of Houston was awarded the team after the previous team in the city, the Houston Oilers, left for Tennessee. Despite being such a young franchise, the Texans have won two AFC South Division titles and look to prosper as they build a strong roster for the future.
The Texans struggled early on, like most expansion teams do, and repeatedly failed to make the playoffs. The first draft pick in team history, David Carr, showed a tremendous amount of talent at the quarterback position but never had a great supporting cast around him. The Fresno State product suffered an NFL-record of 76 sacks during his rookie season and after six years in Houston he left for the Carolina Panthers.
Though Carr didn't pan out for the Texans, their next high draft pick, Andre Johnson, has definitely proven to be one of the best players in the young franchise's history. A standout at the University of Miami, Johnson is an overpowering wide receiver that is still a force on the Texans' offense to this day. The seven-time Pro Bowler has consistently made the Texans' offense a force to be reckoned with and he played a key role on the team that repeated as division champs from 2011 to 2012.
Houston's first taste of the postseason came in 2011 after the team sported a 10-6 record after a couple of seasons of narrowly making the playoffs. After claiming the AFC South title, the Texans won their first playoff game in team history with a 31-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Baltimore Ravens in the semifinals.
Houston won its second division title the following year after a dominant 12-4 season. Hopes were extremely high for the Texans after beating the Bengals for the second straight time in the playoffs, but they ultimately fell to the New England Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs.
The Texans suffered a horrendous 2013 season that was culminated by a 14-game losing streak to end the year. The losing season awarded the Texans with the top overall pick in the 2014 draft, which they used to select Jadeveon Clowney out of the University of South Carolina. Clowney, who has been praised as an elite talent since high school, will look to impact the team right away. Clowney will team up with All-Pro defenseman J.J. Watt on what some analysts are saying will be one of the best defensive lines in all of football.
The Houston Texans are a team that is built to contend for many years to come. With young talent in J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney, the Texans have the youth to stay relevant for a long time. In addition to the Texans rising stars, the roster also features a number of seasoned veterans, like Andre Johnson and Arian Foster, that are accustomed to winning. Fans and collectors should be eager to get their hands on Houston Texans memorabilia as items signed by members of the team could become very valuable in the future as they look to dominate the NFL in upcoming season.
- Arian Foster Autographed Footballs:Arian Foster is the starting running back for the Houston Texans and one of the top players at his position in the league. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Foster is proof that hard work and dedication triumphs all else. The 6-foot-1 back was undrafted out of the University of Tennessee in 2009 before signing with the Texans and went on to become a premier running back in 2010 after he recorded 1,616 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl for the first time that year in what was the first of three consecutive trips to the annual all-star game. Since Foster is one of the best ball carriers in the NFL today, investing in an Arian Foster signed football is a fantastic move for any die-hard Texans fan or sports memorabilia collector. An Arian Foster autographed football that has been hand-signed by the All-Pro running back himself will ultimately serve as the centerpiece for any Texans memorabilia collection as it acquires worth over the years.
- J.J. Watt Signed Jerseys:One of the top defensive ends in the league, J.J. Watt has been a key player on the Houston Texans since being selected 11th overall during the 2011 NFL Draft. Watt has established himself as one of the most feared defenders in the league and has earned two trips to the Pro Bowl since joining the NFL. In 2012, Watt produced his best season as a pro when he recorded 81 tackles, 20.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and 16 defended passes. Investing in J.J. Watt memorabilia is a great move before too much hype surrounds the Pro Bowler and will likely produce a large financial gain as the Texans defensive end continues to dominate the field. With a red, white, or blue Texans jersey has been hand-signed by Watt is the ultimate way to show Houston pride and add value to any NFL memorabilia collection.
- Jadeveon Clowney Autographed Mini Helmets:The latest rookie sensation and No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, Jadeveon Clowney is a once-in-a-generation athlete that possesses all the tools needed to produce a legendary football career. The newest member of the Texans was once the top player in his high school recruiting class and went on to become the top player in the 2014 Draft to join the NFL. After a stellar career at the University of South Carolina, Clowney is projected to continue his collegiate success at the pro level. With an autographed Jadeveon Clowney mini helmet, Texans fans and collectors can invest in the future of one of the best athletes the NFL has seen in many years. Considering his raw talent and diverse skill set, items with a Jadeveon Clowney autograph are certain to gain value as the linebacker begins to write his name in NFL history.
- David Carr Signed Photos:David Carr was the Houston Texans' very first draft pick in franchise history. The league's youngest team was awarded the top overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft and Houston chose Carr out of Fresno State. David Carr went on to start all but four games for the Texans during the team's first five years in existence. He recorded a productive career with the Houston Texans, but the team could not protect the young quarterback and his stint eventually soured. David Carr will always hold a place in Texans franchise history, and die-hard fans can commemorate the team's first draft pick with a signed David Carr photo. With David Carr autographed photos, Texans fans and sports memorabilia collectors can preserve iconic moments in football history while honoring the first player selected to wear a Houston football jersey.
- Andre Johnson Autographed Helmets:A seven-time Pro Bowl selection, Andre Johnson is one of the most premier wide receivers in the NFL and star of the Texans roster. The 6-foot-3 receiver was the third overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft after a stellar career at the University of Miami. Andre Johnson holds nearly every receiving record in Houston Texans history and will surely be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he hangs up his cleats for the last time. As a member of the Miami Hurricanes Hall of Fame, Johnson recorded over 12,000 receiving yards during his career while snatching 61 touchdowns. Fans and collectors have popularized signed Andre Johnson collectibles since he joined the NFL , which created the high value of an Andre Johnson autographed. With an Andre Johnson signed helmet, Texans fans can show their support for Houston's top receiver, while collectors can invest in sports memorabilia that will steadily acquire value.

Afterward, they enjoyed some downtime at PalMar Beach Club, lunch, snorkeling and a tour of Patas & Alas Butterfly Sanctuary. The volunteers also delivered school supplies to Cozumel Chrysalis Group and they donated nearly US$450 to NUAFA (Nucleo de Apoya Familiar - means Heart of Family Support). The cash donation provided by Jam Cruise was collected as a "Social Tax" for those onboard wanting to participate in this day of creating a positive Jam Cruise Legacy in Cozumel.
The cash raised by the "Social Tax" and donated to NUAFA Women's Shelter was used for a significant facility improvement. New iron gates were made, painted and installed on the patio entrance to NUAFA. The gates provide greater security for the children in daycare and also secure the property to prevent loss of assets. This is the first time that NUAFA has had a way to lock the facility! New gates have been needed for a very long time but the organization didn't have the resources to replace the old rickety ones.

What is Jam Cruise and the Greening Team?
Simply put, Jam Cruise is a week long floating music festival of today's hottest new bands.
Jam Cruise!
The Greening of Jam Cruise is a grassroots program of the festival which began with the maiden voyage in 2003. The Greening program seeks to reduce or eliminate the enviornmental footprint of Jam Cruise as well as to leave a positive legacy in the Ports of Call that Jam Cruise visits. Through the efforts of the Greening Team of each Jam Cruise, dedicated music fans are inspired to be part of the solution and be enviornmentally and socially conciencious as they travel throughout the Caribbean.
Some of the other accomplishments of Greening Jam Cruise ~
Carbon Offsetting - Jam Cruise 6 was CARBON NEUTRAL!
Jam Cruise worked together with Trees, Water & People, a nonprofit organization that helped them achieve this feat through a combination of tree planting and fuel-efficient stove installations. TWP develops and manages continuing reforestation, watershed protection, renewable energy, appropriate technology, and environmental education programs in Latin America and the American West.
A Two Pronged Approach to Cruise Generated Waste Management
By offering keg beer for the duration of the cruise instead of bottles, Jam Cruise was able to reduce the amount of glass waste generated on their journey. They also implemented a new recycling strategy in partnership with
, which encouraged Jam Cruise passengers to participate in pre-sorting waste streams through the use of designated waste stations positioned throughout the ship and manned by volunteer waste educators. This visible and interactive approach to recycling left a positive impression on music festival passengers and allowed them to be active participants in waste management.
On the final day of Jam Cruise 6 approximately 24 tons of glass, plastic and aluminum were offloaded and destined to be recycled. However, due to extremely strict USDA regulations governing international waste, a small portion of the recycling was found to be contaminated by food and rejected. The old adage one bad apple can ruin the entire bushel was certainly true in this situation. However, there is a silver lining - the Greening team of Jam Cruise were not deterred. After a bit of networking, the Jam Cruise waste was tranported to the Broward County, Florida Waste-to-Energy Plant where it was turned into electricity and put into the grid in Southern Florida. This facility is a fully permitted Title V facility with state-of-the-art vapor recovery controls and scrubbers, and is regulated by the EPA and strictly monitors air and water quality. This waste-to-energy plant provides power to 80,000 homes a year.
And the endeavor to green continues
The Jam Cruise Greening team remains committed to finding solutions to the challenges of greening a cruise-based festival. They believe it is important for every one of us to be informed about the environmental impact of cruise travel and to work toward positive changes that will effectively reduce that impact. The challenges that the cruise industry faces will not be solved overnight and will require that all of us stay focused on the larger common vision of building a sustainable future.

I think he drifted off in about the 4th inning last night.I can't get as into this as others have. And it may be the fact that SPs are restricted in terms of innings, etc. For that reason alone it seems a bit contrived to me.

skatingtripods wrote:I enjoyed it. Once the players started to show some emotion for the US team, it got better.As for Torre, my god. Nobody in that lineup, except maybe Victorino and Bloomquist, should ever bunt. What's this bullshit about having to play everybody? Is this Little League? Giancarlo Stanton on the bench in an elimination game? Really?Had the US lost that game yesterday, they'd have had to play an after-the-season qualifying round in 2017 just to participate in the next WBC. Not that I really give a shit overall, but that would have been downright embarrassing. And Torre's dicking around with using RHPs against LHBs in big spots. Guys with pretty big splits too.It's a very flawed tournament, from the timing to the restrictions, to the guys that don't go and play, but the players who are there care, so I'll watch.
