That's a great looking pie Norma! How did it taste compared to your regular flour? You said "nutty" but was it better or worse overall? Would you pick me up a bag if you get a chance?
Norma,It looks like Buddy's emergency dough method works well even for a whole wheat version. Maybe sometime you can try using a higher hydration to see if you can open up the crumb some more. I don't know if you remember this, but Buddy's has a whole grain option for its pizzas, apparently with a thinner crust according to its standard menu at http://www.buddyspizza.com/documents/Carryout101.pdf. FYI, based on a dough ball weight of 9 ounces, 8 ounces of the Grande cheese blend, 1.25 ounces of pepperoni slices, and 4.8 ounces of pizza sauce, the unbaked pizza weight was 23.05 ounces. Based on the baked weight of 618 grams, or 21.8 ounces, the weight loss during baking was only 1.25 ounces, or 5.4%. It will be interesting to see what results you get when you make the 9-ounce dough ball with your Occident flour next week. Recently, I did some searching to see if anyone in the Metro Detroit area was using Provolone cheese for the Detroit style pizza. I didn't do an exhaustive search but I did find one person, a chef for hire, who uses Provolone for his version of the Detroit style pizza. It looks like your Grande blend was effective in creating a crispy cheese around the perimeter of the pan.Peter
Norma, fine looking experiment with the sprouted wheat flour....I suspect a longer ferment would open up your crumb, no? I hope you enjoyed the taste of this current cheese blend you tried out.
I didnt recall that Buddys had a Multi-Grain Crust that was thinner. I looked on Google and saw their Multi-Grain Crust is a thinner crust featuring 9 grains and a hint of honey. I wonder if they use something like the Ultra-Grain flour that I have at home. I think the one I tried with the organic wheat flour was a little thicker than Buddys Multigrain Wheat Crust on the second picture I copied, or least it appears that way. Wesley Pikula says in this article that the nine-grain crust is made with nine whole grains, including flaxseed and millet, ground together and combined with wheat flour. http://www.freep.com/article/20110303/COL20/103030433/Sylvia-Rector-Buddy-s-square-pizzas-among-best-country
I was thinking about maybe why cheese caramelizes with oil in a steel pan. Doesnt a pizzeria like Pequods in Chicago http://www.examiner.com/article/pequod-s-pizza-morton-grove-burnt-pizza-is-good and http://chicago.seriouseats.com/2008/07/pequods-chicago-illinois-il-deep-dish-pizza-caramelized-crust.html or Burts http://chicago.seriouseats.com/2011/05/chicago-essential-burts-place.html also make a pan pizza that the edges caramelize in a different type of steel pan? Arent both Pequods and Burts just using mozzarella to get the caramelized edges?
Norma,There are quite a few places that sell multi-grain flour blends, for use by both commercial bakers and home bakers. From a miller's standpoint, ConAgra, which is the miller that produces the Occident flour that you have been using, offers several multi-grain flour blends although I did not see a 9-grain blend with flax seed. See, for example, http://www.conagramills.com/media/ConAgraMillsBrochure.pdf. ConAgra does, however, do custom milling but whether Buddy's volume is big enough to justify a custom blend is not clear. I would imagine that it would be easier for Buddy's to buy and existing 9-grain blend. Since you are an "old lady" beset with so many dietary, nutritional and allergy afflictions, you might send an email to Buddy's and ask them what grains are in their nine-grain blend so that you can assess whether any one or more of them will do you great harm . Then you might be able to match up the mix with an existing product.Peter
Norma,I hear you and it appears to be true that Pequod's uses mozzarella cheese and does get caramelization of that cheese, but I think that, in general, there are six factors that you have to consider with respect to the caramelization of the cheese: the type of cheese used, the amount of the cheese, the physical form of the cheese (e.g., shredded or diced), whether the cheese as placed on the pizza is covered or exposed (in whole or in part), the bake temperature and the bake time. I don't know all of the details of a Pequod's pizza, including the amount of cheese used, but it looks to me that the cheese is largely covered during the baking of the pizza and, according to the article at http://www.bonnibella.com/2010/09/caramelized-crust-at-burts-place-and.html, it takes about 45 minutes to bake one of their pizzas. With such a long bake time, you are perhaps guaranteed that the cheese that is intentionally placed around the perimeter of the pan will be caramelized. In the case of a Detroit style pizza, such as a Buddy's pizza, the cheese can be largely exposed except for some sauce stripes (for a basic cheese or similar pizza). And the bake time is much shorter than what Pequod's uses. Otherwise, the cheese would be burned and blackened beyond recognition. As Mike at Klausie's noted in the article at http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2012/09/behind-the-slice-klausies-pizza-truck.html, he espouses the proposition that there has to be the proper balance between melting of the cheese and its degree of browning so as to induce a nice crispy cheese at the perimeter of the pan. In the context of the Detroit style pizza, brick cheese seems to meet these requirements. Others believe (but not Mike) that a white cheddar cheese might also meet those requirements. As I noted previously, I did not see that nearly as much in the all-mozzarella cheese that Jet's uses on its square pizzas. See, for example, the modest caramelization of the mozzarella cheese at the perimeter of the pizza as shown at Reply 70 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,8247.msg135948.html#msg135948. And that is for a pizza that is typically baked for about 8 minutes at a temperature below 500 degrees F (around 475 degrees F). I believe that we estimated that Jet's was using around 6 ounces of cheese. In that case, Im not sure how well the cheese would hold up (that is, not get overly browned) with even a few minutes more bake time. Peter
Norma, did you put the Eddies brick cheese in the freezer for about 30 min before you diced it? For the size processor you have there I think you might get larger dice if you cut your chunks just a little bit smaller.
Bob,Thanks for your advice of what to try again if I decide to dice brick cheese again. This was my first attempt to dice brick cheese or any cheese in the food processor. My bowl for my food processor is pretty large, but my food processor isnt as good as some. Did you have time to try out Klausies Detroit style pizza yet?Norma
No Norma, I haven't made it to Klausies yet and I am glad because the past few day's of posts here have given me more ideas on what to talk to Mike about....he is going to be at my favorite tavern/music hall later this week and I intend to make an appearance... Will give full report young lady! Bob
Thanks Bob! Are you going to try Mike's Detroit style pizza after you talk to him?Norma

Legal Memorandum #74 on Legal Issues
November 22, 2011
November 22, 2011 | Legal Memorandum on Legal Issues
Federal law prohibits state colleges and universities from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens "on the basis of residence within the State"—unless the same in-state rates are offered to all citizens of the United States. Today, 12 states are circumventing this federal law, and the legal arguments offered to justify such actions are untenable, no matter what other policy arguments are offered in their defense. Because at least one federal court of appeals has held that there is no private right of action under the specific statute in question—§ 505 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996—the U.S. Department of Justice must enforce this statutory provision against states that have violated federal law. Yet even as it sues states like Arizona and Alabama for trying to assist the enforcement of federal immigration law, the U.S. government refuses to sue states that are incontrovertibly and brazenly violating an unambiguous federal immigration law. Such inaction is unacceptable: The President and the Attorney General have an obligation to enforce every provision of the United State's comprehensive federal immigration regulations—including the federal law prohibiting state colleges and universities from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens "on the basis of residence within the State."
In 1996, Congress passed—and President Bill Clinton signed into law—the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA).[i] Section 505, codified at 8 U.S.C. § 1623, prohibits state colleges and universities from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens "on the basis of residence within the State" unless the same in-state rates are offered to all citizens of the United States.[ii] Today, 12 states[iii] allow individuals who are in the United States illegally to pay the same in-state tuition rates as legal residents of the states[iv]—without providing the same rates to others. By circumventing the requirements of § 1623 these states are violating federal law, and the legal arguments offered to justify such actions are untenable, no matter what other policy arguments are offered in their defense.
The United States is a country of immigrants—men and women who sought opportunity and freedom in an exceptional new land. Americans take pride in their heritage and this country's generous policies regarding legal immigration. Yet, as citizens of a sovereign nation, Americans retain the right to decide who can and cannot enter this country—and what terms immigrants and visitors must accept as a condition of residing in the United States. As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, Congress sets America's immigration policy. State officials have considerable influence in Congress over the crafting of immigration laws, and they may take steps to help enforce federal law.[v] However, state officials cannot act contrary to a congressional statute.
America is a "nation of laws, not of men," and thus her citizens must abide by the rule of law. But even if the operation of the rule of law was not imbedded in the U.S. Constitution and legal system, every generation of Americans should re-affirm its virtue and security. These concepts, ancient as they are, and quaint as they may sound to some, provide the bedrock principles of this nation's constitutional republic. To abandon them in individual cases—where, for example, it seems opportunistic or personally appealing—is to render them unavailable in the preservation of all other rights.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution provides that Congress has the power to "establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization." Over the decades, Congress has done just that, imposing a variety of conditions on those who wish to immigrate (e.g., such individuals must do so openly and in accordance with established legal process) and on those who might be visiting (e.g., such individuals must not overstay their authorized visit).
Unambiguous federal law regarding who may receive the benefit of in-state college tuition is part of these conditions. Specifically, § 1623 of IIRIRA provides that
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States shall not be eligible on the basis of residence within a State (or a political subdivision) for any postsecondary education benefit unless a citizen or national of the United States is eligible for such a benefit (in no less an amount, duration, and scope) without regard to whether the citizens or national is such a resident.[vi]
Thus, it is obvious that Congress meant to prohibit state colleges and universities from offering in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless the state institutions also offer in-state tuition to all students, regardless of whether they live in the state or in another state. Congress may have assumed that state colleges and universities would not be able to "afford" offering in-state rates to everyone because these schools rely on the higher tuition from out-of-state students to help subsidize public colleges, and thus they would not offer in-state rates to illegal aliens.[vii] But the law itself provides a choice and only requires states to treat out-of-state citizens and illegal aliens equally.
IIRIRA, once signed into law by President Clinton, should have settled this issue. But some states have continued to offer lower tuition to illegal aliens without offering the same to all students—a direct violation of federal law. Specifically, 12 states have circumvented the express language and clear intent of the statute by erecting proxy legal justifications for offering in-state tuition to illegal aliens. These states have asserted these legal arguments in courts and forced others to waste time and resources in litigation to try to enforce federal law. Such state policies not only violate federal law; they also:
Beyond these immediate concerns, there is another, larger issue at stake: the federal government's preeminent power to regulate immigration. The Supreme Court has held that the "[p]ower to regulate immigration is unquestionably exclusively a federal power."[viii] However, not every state action "which in any way deals with aliens is a regulation of immigration and thus per se pre-empted by this constitutional power, whether latent or exercised."[ix] In order for a state statute affecting immigrants (legal or illegal) to be valid, it cannot be expressly preempted by federal immigration law and must "not otherwise conflict with federal law."[x]
State laws that provide in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens are both expressly preempted by, and in conflict with, § 1623—unless the state also provides in-state tuition rates to all other American students regardless of their state of residence. However, none of the states that provide in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens have changed their state laws to provide such tuition rates to out-of-state students who are U.S. citizens.
To avoid IIRIRA's mandate that in-state tuition be determined "on the basis of residence within a State," some state lawmakers have created alternative criteria through which students might qualify for in-state tuition. Such alternative criteria are intended to act as a substitute for actual residence, which, in turn, creates the patina of compliance with the federal statute: Since residence is not at issue, there is, so these states argue, no conflict between federal and state law. In reality, however, the states are targeting illegal aliens for in-state tuition.
Maryland's Senate Bill 167, which was signed into law by Governor Martin O'Malley (D), is a typical example of such chicanery. This bill exempts individuals, including "undocumented immigrants," from paying out-of-state tuition if the person attended a secondary school in the state for at least three years, graduated or received a GED in the state, proves that he or his parents have filed Maryland income tax returns annually for the three years the student attended school in Maryland, and states that they will file an application to become a permanent resident.[xi]
Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler provided a dubious legal opinion regarding Senate Bill 167 to Gov. O'Malley on May 9, 2011. Gansler concluded that federal law (in particular, 8 U.S.C. § 1623(a)) does not preempt Senate Bill 167. The opinion suggests that Senate Bill 167 is not subject to the preemptive effect of § 1623(a) because the former "looks to factors such as time of attendance in Maryland schools and graduation from Maryland schools to define an exemption from nonresident tuition" [xii] and not residence. There are at least two problems with that legal analysis.
First, federal law permits a state to grant in-state college tuition to an illegal alien only if the state affords the same benefit to non-Maryland residents. The purpose of that law is to allow a state to treat illegal aliens like nonresidents for college tuition purposes: If the state does not charge more to the latter than to in-state students, then it may charge the same amount to illegal aliens (who, in an abstract sense, are akin to non-Marylanders). But Maryland's law does not use that formula; Gansler claims that the bill does not require "residence" in Maryland to attend college and receive in-state tuition since it looks to "time of attendance" in Maryland high schools.
However, the regulations of the Maryland Board of Education authorize local schools to require "proof of the residency of the child" for admission into public schools for kindergarten through high school.[xiii] In fact, the Web site for the Prince George's County Public Schools says that "proof of residence shall be a prerequisite of admission to the public schools" and parents and guardians who are registering their children for school the first time must file an "Affidavit of Disclosure as required by law, verifying their legal residence in Maryland."[xiv] Montgomery County also tells parents enrolling their children for the first time that "all students…must provide verification of age, identity, residency, and immunizations."[xv] As the state's attorney general, Gansler has constructive knowledge of this residency requirement. The fact that he ignores it throws into question the premise on which his entire legal opinion rests.
No one who lives in, and went to high school in, for example, Wyoming, could satisfy the eligibility requirements of Senate Bill 167; the new law does not apply to non-Marylanders. As such, because the Maryland bill does not put non-Maryland residents on a par with Marylanders, the bill cannot give illegal aliens a break on state tuition.
Second, Gansler's letter states that "the entire purpose of the bill is to design a law that will enable the State to continue to provide services to young undocumented aliens."[xvi] The purpose of the bill, therefore, is to achieve the result that Congress outlawed in 8 U.S.C. § 1623(a)—granting in-state college tuition to illegal aliens without also granting that benefit to non-Maryland residents.
The Supreme Court has repeatedly struck down state legislation enacted to evade federal statutory or constitutional requirements. Indeed, the Court has rejected such legislation even when state lawmakers do not reference a suspect or disfavored classification:
The states have no power, by taxation or otherwise, to retard, impede, burden, or in any manner control, the operations of the constitutional laws enacted by Congress to carry into execution the powers vested in the general government.[xvii]
For example, in 2000, the Court struck down a Hawaiian statute that limited voting in certain elections to individual descendants of those who lived in Hawaii prior to 1778.[xviii] The statute's eligibility requirements made no mention of race but were an obvious pretext for Polynesian heritage.
These state statutes that are intended to provide in-state tuition to illegal aliens are similar pretextual attempts to evade the federal immigration statute.
The few federal cases on this issue filed by citizen university students and their parents against such state laws have not reached the substantive merits of the preemption issue because the courts have held that individuals do not have standing to sue under this statutory federal provision.
For example, in Day v Bond, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the lawsuit brought by nonresident citizen university students and their parents against the state of Kansas. Section 1623 does not create a private right of action and the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring an equal protection claim.[xix] The court held that the injuries claimed by the plaintiffs failed to satisfy "the requisite standing criteria." These injuries included:
On the other hand, illegal aliens who have sued states for denying admission to post-secondary institutions as a violation of their constitutional rights have had their lawsuits thrown out on the merits. In Equal Access Education v. Merten,[xx] a Virginia federal district court held that, although illegal aliens had standing to bring suit, Virginia was under no obligation to allow illegal aliens to attend Virginia colleges and universities. Virginia's law was not preempted by federal law and did not violate due process: "It defies logic to conclude that…Congress left states powerless to deny admission to illegal aliens."[xxi] The court concluded that the "persuasive inference to draw from § 1623 is that public post-secondary institutions need not admit illegal aliens at all, but if they do, these aliens cannot receive in-state tuition unless out-of-state United States citizens receive this benefit."[xxii]
As the National Conference of State Legislatures notes in a report on in-state tuition for illegal aliens, in order to try and "maneuver around the [§ 1623] requirements, the eleven states that have enacted laws granting in-state tuition rates to undocumented students have tried to word the legislation so that it is contingent on high school attendance and graduation, and not based on residency within the state."[xxiii] But Texas bases its definition of residency for college admission on an individual (or his parent) establishing domicile in Texas not later than one year before the academic term in which the student is enrolled in college or graduating from a Texas high school who "maintained a residence" continuously for three years before graduation.[xxiv] Similarly, California bases residency on high school attendance in California for three or more years and graduation from a California high school.[xxv]
The California Supreme Court bought into this legally questionable argument in Martinez v. Regents of the University of California.[xxvi] The court recognized that the question of federal preemption of California's residency law depended on whether the three-year high school attendance requirement is an "exemption based on residence within California." However, the court held that the requirement that a student attend a California high school for three years and graduate was not a residency requirement. It overturned the California Court of Appeals, which had come to the legally straightforward conclusion that the California law was intended to benefit illegal aliens living in the state and the "wording of the California statute...creates a de facto residence requirement."[xxvii] The court of appeals did not consider it relevant that the eligibility criteria did not correlate 100 percent with residency.
The California Supreme Court made the illogical claim that because § 1623 is not an "absolute ban" on illegal aliens receiving such tuition benefits, that section of federal law is not in accord with the expressed intention of Congress in its immigration legislation to "remove the incentive for illegal immigration provided by the availability of public benefits."[xxviii] The court also ignored the fact that the state had adopted the law specifically to benefit illegal aliens living in California and that the overwhelming majority of those who qualified for the benefit were only illegal aliens.
While this legally erroneous decision may be the law in California (at least for the time being), it is not the law anywhere else in the country. Although the U.S. Supreme Court denied a petition of certiorari filed by the plaintiffs, it is black letter law that such a denial has no precedential effect whatsoever;[xxix] this issue has not yet been decided on the merits by any federal court.
And yet, offending states continue to ignore the clear language provided by a federal court in the Merten decision, and instead rely on the preferred outcome found in a state supreme court ruling—a shortsighted and legally specious approach to governing.
Giving illegal aliens a financial break at state colleges and universities is not only illegal; it is also immensely unpopular with American taxpayers. An August 2011 Rasmussen poll found that 81 percent of voters oppose providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens. Seventy-two (72) percent of voters believe parents should be required to prove their legal residency when registering their children for public school.[xxx]
These results, however, should hardly come as a surprise: In 2005, it was estimated that the cost to taxpayers of providing in-state tuition in California was between $222.6 million and $289.3 million, while the cost to Texas taxpayers was between $80.2 million and $104.4 million.[xxxi]
Granting financial preference to illegal aliens also discriminates against otherwise qualified citizen students from outside the state. Furthermore, states that offer in-state tuition to illegal aliens act as a magnet for more illegal aliens to come to the state. Arguments to the contrary are unpersuasive, and not supported by the facts.
States that offer in-state tuition for illegal aliens are in violation of federal law. In doing so, these states are also acting against the will of the American people.
The applicable statute and the case law are clear: If there is no private right of action under § 1623, the U.S. Department of Justice must enforce this statutory provision against states that have violated federal law. Yet even as it sues states like Arizona and Alabama for trying to assist the enforcement of federal immigration law, the U.S. government refuses to sue states that are incontrovertibly and brazenly violating an unambiguous federal immigration law.
The President and the Attorney General have an obligation to enforce the provisions of the United States' comprehensive federal immigration regulations—including the federal law prohibiting state colleges and universities from providing in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens "on the basis of residence within the State."

Ohio now has more wireless phones than people
The Columbus Dispatch - June 25, 2013 05:41 PM
Ohio now has more wireless phones than people -- and by quite a lot, too.
Ohio has 11.5 million people using an estimated 11.8 million wireless phones, according to a new Ohio Telecom Association report. One explanation: More people are using different phones for work and personal use.
Charles R. Moses, president of the Ohio Telecom Association, said the 42 phone companies and three wireless companies in the association are responding by investing $1 billion a year in upgrades. AT&T, for example, invested $1.5 billion between 2010 and 2012 and Verizon Wireless has invested $2.4 billion since 2000.
The average household consumes 52 gigabytes of data per month -- the equivalent of more than 5 million emails or surfing the Internet for around 100 hours. That figure has nearly doubled in the last year -- up from 28 GB in 2012. Part of the increase is driven by smartphones, which now represent half of all cellphones in Ohio.
The report also found that 99 percent of homes and businesses in Ohio have access to broadband, while only 71 percent actually subscribe to it

Then & now at Broad & Third
The Columbus Dispatch - August 08, 2013 01:55 PM
Now the site of the Key Bank building, the northwest corner of Broad and Third Streets in downtown Columbus was occupied for years by the two-story brick residence (above) of the William Green Deshler family.
Deshler built the home in 1860, with the front facing Broad Street and barns in the rear. It was torn down in 1922, six years after Deshler's death. The site became, in turn, a parking lot and a Tom Thumb restaurant before the skyscraper (below) was erected in 1964.
The Key Bank building, 88 E. Broad St., about 15 years ago.
Who was Deshler?
He was part of a pioneering Columbus family. He planned a grand East Broad Street Parkway in 1857, helped secure the Columbus Barracks (Fort Hayes) for our city, and was founder of the Hocking Valley Railroad. A philanthropist, he endowed the Columbus Female Benevolent Society and contributed to the Hannah Neil Mission. His father, David Deshler, was a successful banker who built the four-story Deshler Block. His son, John Green Deshler, built the swanky Deshler Hotel at the corner of Broad & High, which was a Columbus landmark for decades.
The First Congregational Church, shown in the top photo to the left of the Deshler home, remained until 1932. Washington Gladden, a prominent minister and social reformer, was the pastor there from 1882 to 1913.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (88 votes).
In short: Absolutely fantastic!In full: I ran the full marathon last year and, as I had enjoyed the whole atmosphere so much then, I returned this year to do it all again but, this time, just the half-marathon. Everything was just perfect, yet again: The marshals, the route, the organisation, the lovely medal and technical-t-shirt, my excellent shield - you name it this event has got it all! Well worth the trip, from wherever you live, you won't be disappointed. A perfect PB course, fast and scenic if you find the time to look at the scenery!! All going well, I shall return in 2013. Can't wait!Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: fantastic race againIn full: I came here for the half last year and thought it was a fantastic, well organised, friendly race. I had to come back and do the full. I was not disapointed!Once again it was a fabulous course and one of the best organised races I've been to. Better than the big ones.Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Well OrganisedIn full: First time at this event and made a weekend of it. Paced with girl friend how nearly managed PB, great first timer course and PB potenial if it wasn't so hot. thank to all marshells and Mablethorpe folk.Date of review: October 12, 2011
In short: Great Organisation and marshall supportIn full: The 2 laps did my head in on a very hot testing day, did not enjoy passing the finish to do around again! 10/10 for friendliness, organisation, support from marshalls, water stations etc.Date of review: October 11, 2011
In short: Excellent race, well organised, worth the journeyIn full: Despite the hot weather provision had been made with plenty of water to drink and to cool down with. The marshals, locals and holiday makers were all very supportive. The facilities for runners were good as was the running top.We really enjoyed it and it was worth the 2 hour early morning drive!Date of review: October 9, 2011
In short: Great marshalling and organisation. Lots of thought for very hot runnersIn full: We had a heat wave on 2 October when it should have been nice and cool. the day before the race the organisers bought waterbutts that they set out in between the water stations so you could cover yourself in water to cool down. Some of the local kids were helping hand the water out in basins. The marshalls were brilliant even though they had to stand out in the heat with no shade for hours. They were really positive. My favourite group had little headbands with pink pom poms on the end. Unfortunately, I had to retire at mile 20 due to the heat and couldn't finish. Nevertheless, if it hadn't have been hot I could have achieved a PB. Its a flat course and not so many people that you are always having to overtake. some of the roads are quite narrow so you have to rely on motorists giving you consideration, but all the ones I came across did. Mu only dislike was that it felt quite lonely at times as you are miles out in the country with just your thoughts, but that is a personal thing and shouldn't be a people not to do it. I'll be back next year and, heat forbidding, I'll be looking to finish it. Date of review: October 8, 2011
In short: Excellent support from marshalls, public etc. Goody bag with banana, mars bar and sports drink a really nice touch. Very hot, but well worth it!Date of review: October 7, 2011
In short: Nice race, friendly atmosphere. Hoped for PB but 26 deg temp took its toll. Well marshalled. Good final 2 miles along promenade. Well worth doingDate of review: October 6, 2011
In short: very well orgainised and marshalledDate of review: October 6, 2011
In short: I'd recommend it to anyone - got to be one of the flattest courses out thereIn full: The only reason for not doing it again is that we rarely do the same marathon twice - otherwise we won't have time to do them all.We did it for a time, can't blame the heatwave on the organisers! Even in such extreme conditions there was plentiful water, full marks for that. Date of review: October 6, 2011

Peter McConnell umpired in 22 Tests who attracted controversy in two series. In 1990-91 he was embroiled in a row when he responded to an enquiry from Phil Tufnell as to how many balls remained in an over by snapping: "Count 'em yourself you Pommie ***." The following season his final appearance, in a Test against India, was, according to Wisden, "marred by controversy over lbw decisions - eight times Indians were given out, while all but two of their own appeals were rejected".

It has been over a month since Earth Overshoot Day (August 22), the day marking when humanity exhausted nature's budget for the year. We continue to draw down ecological assets at a rate faster than can be replenished and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere faster than can be sustainably absorbed.
The good news is that overshoot is receiving increasing attention. Earth Overshoot Day received extensive international media coverage. Read below for some of the highlights:
Our three live Earth Overshoot Day chats on Twitter drew hundreds of participants from around the world. Stories on Earth Overshoot Day were featured in several of the big daily newspapers in Europe (such as Le Monde, La Stampa, and El Mundo), in languages including English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Hungarian, Dutch, and Catalan. It was also covered on dozens of online news sources, environmental blogs, and a number of radio and television programs, including Swiss Public Radio (German), BBC Radio 5 Live, Hungarian Radio Class FM, and RTL (Belgium's 2nd largest TV/Radio company).

Part I is just some great tracks, studio versions (#2 & #3 have great little interview bits too- make sure you check out #2 at least!!)...Part II is oddities, live stuff, etc. & I did list the order for you.
Anywho...here are a few links to some great Harrison tracks for you to check out at your leisure.

and Part II the full 8+ minutes version of (#1) "It's All Too Much", (#2) the end of "Yellow Submarine" where they use it in the film ( like the longer version it contains a "lost verse" ("nice to have the time to take this opportunity...") not in the regular release & it's a different take or mix, and...(#3)the original demo for "All Things Must Pass" from early 1969. It was supposed to be on the "Let It Be" album, & there are Beatles versions of it, but it never got finished. If it had then that album would have had "Let It Be", "Across The Universe" & "All Things Must Pass" on it. Sheesh!! Then we have some "Concert For Bangladesh" live videos- (#4)"My Sweet Lord", (#5)"Awaiting On You All", (#6)"Here Comes The Sun", (#7)"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (Harrison out weeps Clapton here), & the unreleased Dylan duet on (#8)"If Not For You" Finally we finish with a flurry of numbers from "The Concert For George"- We start with (#9) "The Inner Light" by Jeff Lynne & Anoushka Shankar. If you've never seen the last number, (#10) "I'll See You In My Dreams"- an old standard by Joe Brown) & closing speech by son Dhani & then where millions of rose petals drop for the ceiling, make do watch this, it's really worth it. The very last things here are an instrumental version of (#11) "I'll See You In My Dreams" by as fave a guitarist as I have Django Reindhart. It's ancient & glorious & makes a nice reprise & I couldn't resist it as we end with non George performed tracks. Finally up (#12) is the magical, mystical wonder of closer to this little virtual celebration, the amazing Anoushaka Shankar, daughter of Ravi Shankar & half sister of Norah Jones, performing an instrumental piece called "Your Eyes", written by Ravi Shankar, from that same show. It is just incredible!!!

text: New HU Mens Soccer Coach Makes Debut Against Tough Foes First things first. Hamline men's soccer coach Alex Morawiecki has a simple goal for his team as they prepare to open the 2012 season against a pair of western Division III powers. "I want us to be able to compete," he said as the Pipers prepped for games this weekend against Pacific Lutheran and Whitworth. "If we do that, good things will follow." Morawiecki spent a lot of time on Paterson Field during his four playing seasons with the Pipers. In 2005 (his last season), he was a member of the first HU team in 25 years to make the MIAC playoffs. Seven years later, he returns as a first year head coach to a team that has 13 players returning from a 4-11-2 season (2-6-2 MIAC) in 2011. Still, Morawiecki doesn't consider the new season as a rebuilding effort. Rebirthing might be more like it. "They don't know much about me and, until we started training camp, all I really knew about them is what I saw in five days of spring drills," Morawiecki said. "But we got better near the end of those five days and we have worked hard in camp this month. We have a lot of potential and the players seem very coachable. That's a great place to start." Morawiecki didn't have to look far to see what the problem was in 2011. The stat sheet that spit out the fact that HU scored just 18 goals in 17 games spoke volumes. "Our leading two scorers last year (Michael Murphy and Sam Slagle) were defenders," he pointed out. "That told me all I really needed to know. We need to develop better habits around the opposing net. From what I can tell, however, we have some people here who know how to score goals." One of those is MF Greg Northrop. The junior nailed three before being sidelined with an injury in the season's 12th game. A healthy Northrop and Tyler Tallaksen, a sophomore forward, may be counted on early to provide offensive leadership. Morawiecki is hoping to find some of the new forwards such as first year player Abbai Habte will be able to make quick adjustments to MIAC play. Habte was a member of the St. Paul Central team that went 15-3 and came within a shootout goal of going to the MSHSL tournament. "We will need to be inventive on offense for a while," said Morawiecki, who was an assistant coach at Division I powers Northern Illinois and Xavier before returning to his alma mater. "Everyone is going to have a role here. We simply need to be organized. Good execution is the key." Fortunately for Morawiecki, there are several veteran returnees on the defensive side of the ledger. In addition to Murphy, a junior who has missed just one game in his HU career) and Slagle, a senior who has been a three-year regular, there is Brian Stout, a junior who also has been a two-year regular on the back wall. "Like the offensive side of the game, we need to be organized here, too," Morawiecki said. "Simply put, we want to be difficult to play against. If we do that, good things will follow." Of the two returning goalies, only junior Eric Feil (who played in seven games in 2010), has college experience. He will battle with soph Derrick Mora in what is considered an open competition for the starting job. "Eric has good height (6-1) and seems to have good reflexes," Morawiecki said after a first look-see at the duo. "Derrick is a very athletic (he was a member of the Piper track team) and eager. I have no pre-set plan here. Like with the other spots on the team, both guys start off even." With just two weeks of preparation, the Pipers start with two tough foes. HU will host western powers Pacific Lutheran and Whitworth August 31-September 1 in a weekend tournament at Paterson Field. (Augsburg will play at 1 p.m. both days.) The Washington based pair shared the Northwest Conference regular season championship last year. PLU went on to play in the NCAA D-III tournament and is rated No. 25 in the first NSCAA poll of 2012. Morawiecki views this rugged start as a way to get his team ready for the rigors of MIAC play. "This is a tough league," he said. "It always has been. In my senior year, three MIAC teams made the NCAA tournament. There is no room to take a day off." Although he is still getting to know his players, Morawiecki has already noticed one very positive sign about the 2012 Pipers. "They understand that the current margin of error is slim," he said. "But they're all ears. They're hungry to learn how to make 4-11 turn into 11-4. That's a great starting point." Hamline continues a season-opening four game homestand next week with games against North Central (September 4) and Minnesota-Morris (September 8). The MIAC opener is September 12 at Concordia.

Data on mean longevity are not yet available. An indication that potential longevity can be very long was obtained by serendipity. A picture was taken of a female and her calf in 1935 in Florida. The animal was seen in 1959 off Cape Cod and irregularly until the summer of 1995. Assuming it was her first calf in the original picture and she was at the age of sexual maturity or eight years old, she would have been 67 years old when last seen.
Their close relatives, bowhead whales, have been recorded with lifespans approaching 200 years, so it's likely that right whales have very long lifespans.

Singer-songwriter Syreeta Wright, ex-wife of Stevie Wonder, dies
Thursday, July 8, 2004
Motown recording artist and songwriter Syreeta Wright, who collaborated with ex-husband Stevie Wonder in writing several hits including "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and "If You Really Love Me," has died. She was 58.
Wright died Tuesday at her Los Angeles home surrounded by family after battling breast cancer, said her sister Kim Barnum.
"She was very, very loving, giving, very talented," said Barnum.
"She loved her music, and she loved all her fans." added Steve Barnum, Wright's brother-in-law.
Wright was also known for her hit duet with Billy Preston, "With You I'm Born Again," from the 1979 film "Fast Break."
She married Wonder in 1970 and the two divorced about two years later. Still, they remained friends and collaborators until her death, Kim Barnum said.
Wonder produced two of Wright's albums, including "Syreeta" and "Stevie Wonder Presents Syreeta" about their love, divorce and friendship.
Calls to Wonder's agent were not immediately returned.
Wright was born in Pittsburgh and later moved to Detroit, where she worked as a Motown secretary and later a backup singer.
Motown founder Berry Gordy signed her to the label as "Rita Wright," under which she released "I Can't Give Back the Love I Feel For You," written by Brian Holland and Ashford & Simpson.
She did her later recording as Syreeta Wright.
Wright recorded her last album in 1983, titled "The Spell."
She is survived by her four children Takiyah, Harmoni, Jamal and Hodari, and her mother, Essie Wright.

Sides and back are cropped to half an inch, and left unstyled. All along the forehead, hair is long, but uniform in length, and lifted up and slightly over, at an angle, into a modern quiff. Texture is created when the quiff is drawn up by sections, instead of in just one flip. Ends at the back are left messy, further deconstructing the old quiff. The result is a nonchalant sexiness that is also suave and polished.

The world of sport attracts us with a great many things. Some sports may appeal to you in various ways no one has thought of yet. Whatever brings you into this world will differ from your neighbor—all except one.
Dramatic finishes have universal appeal. They are loved by all that have even a passing interest in entertainment. Sports is by far the best show on television. While others flock to reality shows and the like, sports fans know a little secret. We have the best in theater right here.
Every game has the possibility of becoming a classic. But as always, you need a great ending. Something that gets you off your feet to question whether what you saw actually occurred. These are the best endings the sports world has provided us so far. These are the finishes that seem almost scripted.
These are the plays that keep us coming back for more.

Gladstone school millage: Board preps for worst-case scenario
GLADSTONE – Preparing for what they believe is a worst-case scenario, the Gladstone School Board approved a resolution allowing the district to reintroduce a millage proposal if it fails during a special election later this month.
If the proposal – which was originally introduced during the Nov. 6 General Election – fails a second time on Feb. 26, the district may introduce the issue a third time on May 7. The resolution Monday night was necessary because the May 7 date is the earliest date for another special election, and the deadline to file for that election is Feb. 26.
"It's an essential part of our operating millage. It's an absolute do or die situation for us," said Gladstone Superintendent Jay Kulbertis of the proposal.
The proposed millage renewal would allow the school district to levy the statutory rate of 18 mils on all property, except for principal residences and other property exempt by law. The 18 mils are required for the district to receive its per pupil foundation allowance.
If the proposal is approved and levied, the school district will collect approximately $1,097,402 in 2014 for operating purposes.
"We do not have a long term plan in place if this does not pass, but we will meet to strategize and put some recommendations together if that's the case," said Kulbertis. The proposal is an extension of an existing millage, which has been in place since 1994. If the proposal passes the 18 mils would be renewed for nine years, between 2014 and 2022, but if the proposal fails the current 18 mills levied would expire with the 2013 tax levy.
When first presented to voters in November, the millage received 2,652 votes against and 1,846 votes in support of the proposal. A second Gladstone Area School District operating millage was also defeated.
The second millage will not be reintroduced on Tuesday's ballot nor on any subsequent ballots.
The resolution Monday night does not guarantee a special election will occur on May 7 – even if the proposal fails on Feb 26.
"It just keeps your options open if there is an unsuccessful election in February, and you chose to have an election at the next available date," said Kulbertis.
Board members believe the proposal may fair better when not on the ballot with presidential and state elections.
"Think that there is, from my end, a suspicion of enough noise (during the General Election) that it's worth doing this again as a separate issue on its own and to get more information out there and to see what happens in this new environment," said Board Trustee Bill Milligan.
Board Vice President Steve O'Driscoll resolved he would support a May 7 election if the proposal fails Tuesday.
"Others have said, 'we keep saying no, and you just keep asking until you get yes.' Well, yeah, if it's gonna be the cost of our kid's education, yes we are going to keep trying until we get the yes. Sorry about that. You'll keep costing yourself money for us to hold elections until we get the yes. We're not gonna settle for anything less for the kids," he said.
More information about the proposal is available on the district's website at www.gladstoneschools.com.

"When conducting Business as Mission, the primary purpose has to be to expand the Kingdom of God," said Joseph Vijayam, founder and managing director of Olive Technology, a Colorado Springs-based information technology services provider. "Profits and an increase of shareholder wealth are an important result of a solid business that is well executed and are essential for the survival of any business, but they need not become the very purpose for existence."
Vijayam invites Christian business leaders to reflect on the place of profits in the context of Tax Day here in the US: "I am not challenging business owners to stop making profits, but instead to look at those profits in a completely new way."
In a piece for Comment magazine last year, "Reforming Economics," I argued, "For too long a view has held dominance that has portrayed profit as a purpose or end, rather than as a means or a consequence. That is to say, the pursuit of profit is acceptable when it is couched within the broader framework of and constrained by the norm of service of others."

INDIAN LAND – The Indian Land Elementary School family is mourning the loss of one of its own.
Blair Blacknall, who recently completed the fifth grade at ILES, died Tuesday following complications from surgery the day before.
He was 11.
Blair's heart surgery Monday was related to his premature birth. Unfortunately, the operation took a turn for the worse, said ILES Principal Beth Blum.
His funeral is Saturday in Charlotte.

A Lancaster man is behind bars this week in connection with a club shooting last month.
Reco Valerie Cauthen, 37, of 411 W. Barr St., was arrested June 8 and charged with two counts of attempted murder, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office press release.
The charges are related to a May 16 shooting at the 747 Club located at 747 Twilight Road, the release said.

Property taxes for city of Lancaster residents likely won't be as high as initially projected.
City Council held another work session Tuesday night in which members discussed changes in the proposed budget for 2011-12.
Final reading will be at council's next regular meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.

March of Dimes is seeking families interested in serving as ambassadors for the Piedmont South Carolina March for Babies in 2011. The agency is seeking at least one family to represent the March of Dimes from the Lancaster, Chester, Cheraw, Chesterfield and Kershaw areas.
Since 1946, the March of Dimes has identified a child to represent the organization to the American public, developing what became known as its "poster child."

Peering over the bridge along Lynwood Drive, Brian Price wondered what all the commotion was about on Monday afternoon.
The 15-year-old Lancaster resident walked the bridge with his stepfather, Howard Smith, only minutes after a contingent of police officers and firefighters left the scene. Smith said he first saw the crowd of local law enforcement a little after 1 p.m.
"I was riding by and there was a cop car here and I saw some police looking down," Price said.

A convenience store owner remains hospitalized after he was shot several times during an attempted armed robbery late Saturday.
Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile said the owner of the Stop-N-Shop, 2147 McIlwain Road, was still in intensive care at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte as of Tuesday afternoon. The owner was shot by an unknown man just after 11 p.m. Saturday.

Gary Deaton stood just feet away from his big rig, which quickly began to look more like a pile of burned coals.
Deaton was traveling east on Pageland Highway (S.C. 9) shortly before 2:30 p.m. Monday when he heard a "boom!" sound come from his 18-wheeler.
A few moments later, he saw smoke.
As he pulled off to the left side of the road, his truck was already on fire. Luckily, he was able to climb out the cab's passenger side before the flames engulfed the truck.

A Lancaster man was rushed to the hospital Saturday night after almost drowning in a hotel pool.
Lancaster police officers responded to the pool at the Carriage Inn, 1100 N. Main St., at 9:49 p.m. June 4 after receiving a call about two possible drowning victims.
When they arrived, Emergency Medical Services workers and firefighters were already performing CPR on a 41-year-old Lancaster man.

A section of the parking lot in Lancaster Square shopping center is a lot more crowded these days.
There's not a new specialty shop or department store that has captured the attention of shoppers. Rather, this is where locals are now going to handle many of their vehicle-related needs.
That's right, the S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles has temporarily relocated its Lancaster office to 947 N. Main St., which is the location of the former Sassie Sallie's store.

Picturing the Past 100: More of the squarePosted Tuesday, February 15, 2011, at 12:03 PM
The south side of the Shelbyville square in the early 1950s. (Photo provided by Monte Arnold)
Thanks to Monte Arnold, we have a better shot of that area from approximately the same time period, the early 1950s. The period can be pinpointed by a sign advertising television sales and service and a high antenna in the background, plus the ages of the cars, the newest of which appear to be early 1950s models.
Of note is Joe Katz Department Store next to the Bedford Theater. I remember as a child seeing the name 'Joe Katz' inset into the floor at the entrance of one of the jewelry stores on the east side of the square.
Many of those stores, such as Nina's, The Fair Store, Fly's Drugs and Castner Knott, survived well into the 1970s. I saw those Fly's, NIna's, Standard Rexall Drugs and Castner Knott signs so many times as a child in the 1950s and 1960s that I remember them.
This photo is like looking at the past and the present at the same time. The cars, signs, and most of the people are different, but all of those buildings still stand.
Picturing the Past is featured each Tuesday in this blog. Reader contributions are welcome.

Thanks David for another great picture. That brings back a lot of great memories. One that comes to mind is the step-down just to the West of Nina's. If you were not paying attention to where you were going (window shopping) and stepped off that step-down it would rattle your eye teeth. I say that from experience.

That wonderful picture brought back so many memories. The old Bedford stood out above all.
I had this best friend named Doris. Just happened Doris' dad was with the Shelbyville Police Dept. we could always get in free.
It was at The Bedford that I first fell in love with Roy Rogers.
To this day he is still my first love.

What year did Knox Pitts Hardware appear on the scene? I have not noticed it in any of your past pictures of the square.

I know Ina Armstrong spent many years at Knox-Pitts. She was such a nice lady.

I can't recall the Bedford Theater, but I do remember the Fair Store, Castner Knotts, the Rexall Drug Store. this is another great picture of our town square's past David. Keep em coming!

It must have been court day on the square.OH I forget,people use to actually do business there.Wish it were like that again.Its really sad when you think about it.THANKS BIG SPRINGS SHOPPING CENTER YOU CAUSED IT ALL.(HEHE)

I worked at Joe Katz on Saturdays during my high school days 1948-51 for $3.00 per Saturday. Was tickled to death when I got to move down the block and work at Fly's for $3.50 a Saturday.

I notice mostly how clean and neat our town looked THEN.

You can tell by the shadows , it was 'high noon'. Maybe there was a big court case going on or everyone was in town for lunch at Popes Cafe. ))
Look at the really old car seven cars down on the left.
This is truly one of the best b/w pictures I have ever seen.
-- Posted by marwi on Thu, Feb 17, 2011, at 11:04 AM
Marwi,Id say you are close.I say 12:45 due to the slight Northeastern cast on the cars.I base this by telling it is a Summer photo from the leaves on the trees.Being June thru August this would put it in the right time frame of closer to 1 pm.
-- Posted by mytaxesaremine on Thu, Feb 17, 2011, at 11:33 AM
Thanks mytax, I will give you that 45 minutes.
Would you identify the church steeple in the background. Is this the church where the beautiful chimes rang out every evening?
-- Posted by marwi on Thu, Feb 17, 2011, at 8:09 PM
marwi to answer your question, yes, that appears to be the steeple of the First Baptist Church. The speakers were mounted on the steeple if I am remembering correctly.
-- Posted by leeiii on Thu, Feb 17, 2011, at 8:56 PM
Marwi,I was just yanking your chain on the time.I have no idea what time it was.As for the steeple I don't know if it was a church or Howell Funeral Home.I remember it having a tall steeple,and it would have been in that location,or very close.
-- Posted by mytaxesaremine on Fri, Feb 18, 2011, at 8:56 AM
In the top left corner of the photo, down Depot Street, is the First National Bank clock. I've blown up the original photo on my screen and it looks like 10:53 a.m. - if that clock was correct.
I've seen that clock in a 1939 photo as well. Wonder what happened to it? Thrown out as junk - or could it still exist somewhere?
-- Posted by David Melson on Fri, Feb 18, 2011, at 9:59 AM
Thanks David, sure brings back some great memories. The gentleman crossing the street looks like a lawyer with an empty briefcase.
-- Posted by Grits on Fri, Feb 18, 2011, at 11:01 AM
Mytaxes: I think the steeple, in the background of this photo, is definitely that of the First Baptist Church. Howell Funeral Home (then known as Thompson Funeral Home) was originally an old house and while it had more than one spire, they were not as tall as the church and not as far off Depot St. as the church was--as can be seen in this view.
The First Baptist Church that burned in 1908 had a very tall, prominent spire, as does the current facility. However, the church was replaced in the '70s had a much more modest steeple.
-- Posted by marnold1118 on Fri, Feb 18, 2011, at 2:39 PM
Thanks marnold,I was a young child and just remembered what I thought was a steeple on the funeral home.I do remember them running an ambulance out of there.Best I remember Pollys Flowers was across the street from the funeral home.I just wish I could go back in time and walk the streets of Shelbyville.What a wonderful time that would be.
-- Posted by mytaxesaremine on Fri, Feb 18, 2011, at 5:14 PM
Folks I might be wrong, but I think the Chimes at the Church were at the Presbyterian Church. I can't remember the name of the street, but it ran parallel to N. Main. It was almost behind what is now the Post Office. I seem to remember the chimes were donated by a family who owned a florist over toward the Horse Show Grounds. They were in memory of a son who was killed in an auto accident.

Thanks Chad O for the picture. There are several more things that I notice in this picture. You can see the speakers on the steeple of the First Baptist Church. You can see that the clock is mounted on the facade of the Peoples National Bank, and you can see the water towers on Standpipe Hill just to name a few.
-- Posted by leeiii on Sun, Feb 20, 2011, at 7:06 AM
Wolf Clan,
I feel certain that you are correct about the chimes being at the Presbyterian Church. I can remember them, but I never new the story behind them. I grew up living fairly close to the church and this has brought back good memories. Do they still ring, and if not, I wonder when they stopped.
-- Posted by cookie on Sun, Feb 20, 2011, at 4:29 PM
Thank you for the full resolution. It has been placed on my desktop as wallpaper. FANTASTIC!
Did anyone spot the two painters on The Bedford ??
I'd stll like to know who owned that beautiful old car on the left.

The Pictoral History of Bedford County "Blue Book" 1994 shows First Baptist Church on 117, and that is what we are seeing here. Also on page 125 is First Christian, which was torn down in the '60s, and was located where the phone tower is located. On 138 is a pic of Thompson Funeral Home which was closer to Depot Street.
Thanks for the info on a picture we can see. I couldn't read that clock for the life of me.Yes I know I'm getting old.
-- Posted by Cal t on Sun, Feb 20, 2011, at 9:54 PM
Take a look at Sesqui- Centennial Historic Edition 1819-1969 and pages 165,168 for good pics of the old First Christian and First Baptist. This shows the towers and speakers on The old First Baptist.

Ever since Wolf Clan mentioned that a Florist family over near the horse show grounds had donated the chimes in memory of their son who had died in an automobile accident a spark of memory has arisen in me. Here is what I think that I remember and I think that I have seen it written somewhere. I have poured over my books this morning but as of yet I can not find the reference. I think that the chimes were donated by Frank and Faye Yancy (owners of Yancy Flower Shop) in memory of their son, Frank Yancy, Jr. who was killed in a motorcycle accident on the Lewisburg Highway in front of the WHAL transformer. It seems to me that Jimmy Redd's mother, Mrs. Redd (our school music teacher) had played the chimes for some time in the late afternoon. Also, I keep coming up with the First Baptist Church as the location of said chimes.

I still would like to know when Knox-Pitts Hardware starting occupying nearly 1/2 of the south side of the square?
I was always under the impression that they had been on the square since forever but as can be seen from the pictures they were not there in the early 50's. Who knows the approximate date they came to the square?

Blessed, I can find nothing before 1958 on Knox-Pitts. They are in ads in the Aquila 1959,1960 then on the other end my last ad is 1969,but I'm thinking they were there longer.

Yes, I am sure Knox Pitts was there well into the 70s and maybe some years beyond.

I have a " thru April 1999 " Shelbyville phone book which still lists Knox-Pitts as 121 S. Side Square.

This may narrow the discussion a bit. Looking through my collection of telephone and city directories here is what I was able to discern:
1936 City Dir.--No mention of Knox Pitts Hdwe.
1949 Phone Dir.--Knox Pitts Hdwe. was located at 116 E. Depot Street (almost across from what used to be Hames-Daughtry Drug Store).
1953 phone book--still at 116 E. Depot St.
1960 phone book--the hardware store had moved to 117 South Side of Square--space occupied by Bedford Theatre in this blog photo. There was also a Knox Pitts Housewares at 131 South Side square--on the end where Ed Craig Furniture was in the photo.
1962 phone book--still at 117 SS square
1965 phone book--had moved to 121 SS square
1999 phone book--see Cal t's entry about K-P still being at 121.
So, apparently, Blessed Assurance, Knox Pitts moved to the square sometime between 1953 and 1960.

Didn't see it mentioned above, but when did the square go from 2-way to one-way. In the 60s it was always one way as I remember.
