Hhen it was built in 1902, the "Granite Block Building" on the corner of Washington and E. Second Streets was Redwood Falls' first shopping mall; today it is home to two family-owned businesses now in their third generation of ownership.
Today it is known as the home of Sward-Kemp Snyder Drug.
However, when it was built in 1902, the "Granite Block Building" on the corner of Washington and E. Second Streets was Redwood Falls' first shopping mall.
Today the Granite Block Building is owned by Scott Nelson, and is home to two family-owned businesses now in their third generation of ownership.
The building itself:
• Before 1885, most of Redwood Falls' stores were built of wood.
However, after a fire destroyed most of the Second Street businesses, the city council demanded all new downtown stores be built of fireproof materials such as brick or stone.
The Granite Block Building cost $15,000 to build from granite from North Redwood, and was paid for by a bank president, a pharmacist, and an attorney.
Construction was state of the art for the time, with gas lighting and hot-and-cold water.
• If you stand at the corner of Washington and E. Second Streets and look in all four directions, you'll notice the streets all slope downward.
The Granite Block Building is on one of the highest points in the area, which is why the original Redwood Falls stockade was built on that approximate spot.
• At different times the building housed two barbershops, and a beauty salon in the basement. KLGR radio was originally housed in an upstairs office, along with several attorneys' offices.
• The barbershop in the basement, the Granite Block Shaving Parlor, had a tub where you could take a bath in hot, fresh water for a dollar.
• There's a bullet hole in one of the upstairs office floors. Years ago, when that room was an attorney's office, the lawyer accidentally shot a hole through the floor while cleaning a gun.
According to Dr. Tom Inglis the bullet hole is still there, now covered up by a carpet.
• Each of the three stories (including the basement) has a concrete walk-in safe, all built on top of each other.
Sward-Kemp Snyder Drug
• The first pharmacy in Redwood Falls was founded by Dr. Dennis Hitchcock, who settled in Redwood Falls in 1865 and ran southwest Minnesota's first drug store out of his home.
Dennis Hitchcock later started "The Old Reliable Drug Store" on Mill St. He eventually moved it to an unused saloon that had better heating in the winter.
After Dennis died in 1884, the pharmacy was run by his son Hiram, who doubled as pharmacist and optometrist. When the Granite Block Building was built, Hiram relocated his store there next to the State Bank on the corner.
• In addition to a pharmacy, Hitchcock also made space for a optical office and a book section containing up to 3,000 volumes for sale.
• After Hiram retired and moved to Minneapolis, the store went through several owners until it was sold to George Sward, a Springfield-based pharmacist, and Louis Kemp in 1925.
• Gus Nelson moved to Redwood Falls from Worthington to manage Sward-Kemp's store. In 1930, Nelson bought out George Sward's interest in the business. Nelson and his son John bought Louis Kemp's interest in 1976.
Despite Sward not being associated with the business in almost 90 years, or Kemp associated with it for nearly 40 years, current owner Scott Nelson said he has no plan to change the Sward-Kemp name since that's what everyone has known the business as for decades.
• In 1977, Gus and John Nelson bought the adjoining shoe store, clothing store, and barbershop when they joined the Snyder Drug chain, which required each of its franchises to have a certain number of square feet.
• Sward-Kemp Snyder drug is built on a variety of levels inside today because it's actually made up of what used to be up to six separate business spaces in the past.
The health-and-beauty aids upstairs section behind the front counter has been, among other things, a bank and a military recruitment center.
The current Hallmark Card section was once the Melges shoe store.
A gift section in the back was once a unused courtyard between four other buildings. It was eventually roofed and turned into retail space since it didn't have any access to the alley.
The current pharmacy space is located in what was once a clothing store and a barber shop.
Inglis dental offices
• Dr. James Inglis graduated from a Michigan dental school in 1901 and moved to Redwood Falls in 1904, where he joined Dr. E.A. Lyman's office upstairs in the new Granite Block Building.
• Dr. James Inglis operated the dental practice until his death in 1943. The dentistry office was closed until James' son Stephen returned from World War II and reopened it in 1946. Stephen worked there from 1946-2002.
• James' son, Dr. Tom Inglis, has been based in the office since 1978.
• Tom Inglis believes the staircase up to his office was at one point outdoors, on the side of the building.

Afternoon NASCAR TV On SPEED
There is going to be quite an interesting mix of TV programs on SPEED Saturday afternoon. It begins with one of the most controversial TV guests in the network's history.
Bob Pockrass of scenedaily.com is the absolute opposite of Kyle Petty. As these two face-off on Tradin' Paint at 3:30PM the network puts host John Roberts in between them. Last season, Petty said Pockrass spends his time "blowing smoke up people's butts" and at a recent Stewart-Haas news conference, Stewart said to Pockrass "what have you been smoking?"
Like the kid in high school that annoys you until you blow-up, Pockrass has the ability on TV to push Kyle Petty's buttons. This week the topics on the menu may do just that. The JGR cheating, the Toyota horsepower, the 2009 schedules and Kyle's recent comments about NASCAR radio broadcasts might be up for discussion.
Petty gets a lot of credit for hanging-in on this show once he replaced Michael Waltrip last season. It is the only NASCAR TV show that takes on substantive topics and uses members of the NASCAR Media who are not regularly seen on TV as panelists.
Following next at 4PM is NASCAR Performance with Larry McReynolds hosting. Chad Knaus and Bootie Barker, two crew chiefs who have been known to push the limits of the rule book, are his regular panelists. McReynolds has made this program into a nice little franchise that is often more informative than many other NASCAR TV shows. From JGR's magnets to the best Bristol set-up to potential tire troubles, it should be a good show.
TV veteran Randy Pemberton has taken over NASCAR in a Hurry and added his own personality to the show. At 4:30PM he recaps the Bristol action from the arrival of the teams to the present moment using footage shot during the weekend. It is a nice way to get up-to-speed in well...a hurry.
At 5PM the franchise comes strolling in as NASCAR RaceDay takes to the air for two sold hours of pre-race television. Host John Roberts and panelists Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace are well-known by now for this popular program.
This week, the list of live guests is long. Carl Edwards, Jeff Burton, Clint Bowyer, Aric Almirola, David Reutimann and David Ragan will be on the show. The network will have two stages as they have done in the past. One will be outside the track, and one in the infield. Wendy Venturini's Real Deal will be a profile of the Morgan McClure race team as the #4 has recently been in the news with Tony Stewart.

Kyle says the #18 and #20 Nationwide teams should have been DQ'ed for the rest of the season.

Yes and that would certainly make everyone sit up!
What were those jets going over - was this recorded yesterday?

Rehearsing the fly-over mary. Yes, the show was recorded but this week I do not know exactly when.
- August 23, 2008 at 4:08 PM
- Anonymous said...
It was recorded last night, maybe last nights flyover? Or todays flyover practice?
Kyle is insane to think any team would be DQ'd for rest of season, sponsors would leave NA$CAR in droves. Kyle has gently hated on Yotas since their arrival, he was really talking out the side of his head on that one. As a former owner he should know its never gonna happen.

Tradin Paint was taped last night right before the Nationwide Race. They had to start the last segment over twice because the planes flew over 5 times.

That's not necessarily a bad thing but I wonder why they are so high. Must be a space issue.

I had to do my errands so I didn't get back until the end of NP but I'll check my recordings :). Look forward to seeing the shows and what the boyz had to say :)
I enjoy Randy and am glad he's part of the SPEED family :). Adam is a great addition as well...I think folks liked them from the gate so that's always a good sign :)
JD--If this is OT sorry :(....do you know what is the determining factor for SPEED to hold a news conference? I noticed on the crawler that they're airing Coach's conference during the last hour of the Pick 'em Up replay on Monday but didn't air Mr. Childress' today. If the rumors come true Coach's like Mr. Childress' won't be a surprise. But I'm curious as to what determines that Joe Blow's is worthy of interrupting or pre-empting scheduled shows and John Smith's isn't? 99% of the time none are a "surprise" due to the various rumors out there but I still don't understand why some are covered and some aren't.

I think if Speed aired the press conference they have to use the same crew for that and Raceday. Raceday takes a lot to do so I think it is a matter of resources.

I love the fact that an active Cup driver/owner like Kyle Petty isn't afraid to go on television and be very honest about what he thinks, even if it means throwing NASCAR or his fellow Cup drivers and teams under the bus. His comments about Joe Gibbs Racing getting off easy (which I totally agree with by the way) and Denny Hamlin's attitude were hardly "politically correct" that's for sure.
I don't always agree with him (the Randy Pemberton radio vs. TV coverage discussion comes to mind) but I definitely admire the fact that he's not afraid to openly and honestly talk about his fellow competitors while still being an active participant in the sport. I just hope that we never see a Dodge or Wells Fargo PR guy decide to "get in his ear" at some point and try to tone him down. Very enjoyable show today from my perspective.

The amount of time RC was on Trackside yesterday was better than any press conference at 4pm today. What Nascar fan did not know what was going to be announced???!!!!

@5:20--yes as I stated there wasn't anything announced that we didn't know. But I was using Mr. Childress as an example (pretending he wasn't on Trackside yesterday) of the zillions who have had press conferences and never aired. When Smoke did his the other week some were confused because we all knew (short of an 11th hour change) that Ryan was going to be the driver but they didn't have all their sponsor information lined up. Some felt they should have waited until they had the sponsor information lined up. Just wondering what is "news" enough to bring SPEED to air a press conference. I know Mikey has had press conferences and I can't recall one of them airing on SPEED and Mikey's been on every SPEED show since the beginning of time.

JD, just so you know: TSN is not showing the ESPN NASCAR Countdown show. They're showing Olympics coverage right up to 8:00. It's not on TSN-AF either, since they have the IRL race on (which starts at 5:30).
At least they're showing the race on the main network. It's too bad though, I hope that there's no breaking news between RaceDay going off the air at 7:00 and TSN starting their coverage at 8:00.

wow! 2 historical pieces: bristol and morgan-mcclure. very nice. it's pieces like these being in the pre-race show that make me tune in, keep it on mute, and then only turn it up when the footage comes on.
what an absolutely wonderful tribute to morgan-mcclure! those guys have earned and deserve some sponsors to step up and get them back on the track! all that history, all those great drivers, all that committment to the sport and the place -- amazing.
hope it happens for them and i'm pleased that stewart-haas racing did the right thing when they found out morgan-mcclure still wanted that #4! good luck, gentlemen: let's hope this segment raises your visibility and gets that phone ringing!

I don't usually agree w Jimmy Spencer, but this time I do. Single car teams are in the history of the sport. After hearing Hermie explain how the costs affect performance & vise versa it really helped me understand what happened w/MMM.

Very nice piece on Morgan-McClure Motorsports. I think they've suffered a lot from the old saying "out of sight, out of mind". Hopefully this TV exposure will prompt some investor(s) and sponsor(s) to step up and help them, though I fear that Jimmy and Hermie might be right that it might be asking too much at this point.

Not watching Raceday in total(just to much prerace stuff). And watched when the audio caught my attention. Two things that I did enjoy were NO SIGNS in the backround which enabled me to enjoy the show with no fans and the silly signs in the backround (I want to watch raceday not the fans). And the wonderful but heart wrenching segment on Morgan-McClure Motorsports(MMM) with Wendy in the Real Deal segment.

End of the world? Bring it on.
End of the world? Bring it on.
As you know from very well-informed sources such as the folks who program high-quality television spook sludge and Armageddon follies on the History and Discovery channels, it seems the Mayan calendar apocalyptic scenario actually has affected some of our society's hard-of-thinking, causing them to look to the skies and moan "the end is nigh."
This pronouncement is made with all due respect to the things that could make our universe go "poof." You know: the Sun exploding, God's fury, gingivitis. …
Chinese police this week detained more than 500 people from a fringe Christian group for spreading rumors about the world's impending end. The detentions preceded today's date, Dec. 21 — a date some say the Mayans prophesied would be the end of the world and which was the subject of the apocalyptic movie "2012."
Doomsday rumors arose when some folks with a lot of time on their hands got hold of the Mayan calendar concept in the 1980s and 1990s. Either misunderstanding or intentionally ignoring the Mayans' cyclical view of time, these adventurers interpreted a major cycle in the 5,125-year-old Mayan Long Count calendar, a period known as the 13th Baktun, in a biblical way. In other words, as an apocalyptic, life-ending event.
Those wanting to witness the end of the world in "real time" can scan the heavens online this week at Space.com for any signs of death from above. The online Slooh Space Camera on Monday began broadcasting a series of live cosmic views. The free webcasts will help the public keep watch for any monster solar storms, impending asteroid strikes or other potential agents of the so-called "Mayan apocalypse."
"Rather than merely offer scientists' dismissals of the many silly doomsday scenarios that have now been heard by almost everyone in the world, and which have reportedly produced panic in Russia, Slooh will take a 'let's see for ourselves' attitude," said Astronomy Magazine columnist Bob Berman. It's a comet! Its an asteroid? It's a frog!
A frog??? (shout out to Underdog fans) …
Here's basically what NASA officials have said about the collective doomsday prophesies: The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012. … In fact, this might be the time to create a new federal holiday: "Improbable Doomsday Day." We can add it to the 115 days a year on which banks, post offices and local governments shut down leaving the public without any services.
In the end, no pun intended, Frank Roosevelt had it right when he said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." And The Bible itself says no man will know the time.
So lighten up! Sip some 1953 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild. Heck, grab a Double Whopper and a Pabst. Try bungee jumping. Punch your boss in the solar plexus. It's your time to shine!
It's like the story of the wise man who is said to answer one question if you are brave enough to seek him out in his mountain lair. The person, desperate for that one answer that could change his or her life, pursues the wise man for weeks, climbs the edge of a steep cliff, clutches hold and finally lays eyes on the wise man.
"I made it! Tell me, are you the one? Are you the one who can answer the greatest of life's questions?
"Yes, my son. I hope this answer will benefit you all the days of your life."

Below is a list of terms and phrases commonly associated with types of computer viruses, spyware and adware. Learn the facts and protect yourself from Internet dangers and security threats.
is advertising-supported software that displays pop-up advertisements. Adware is usually available via free downloads from the Internet. Adware is often bundled with or embedded within freeware, utilitarian programs like filesharing applications, search utilities, information-providing programs (such as clocks, messengers, alerts, weather, and so on), and software such as screensavers, cartoon cursors, backgrounds, sounds, etc. Although seemingly harmless, some adware programs may track your Web surfing habits. Deleting adware may result in the deletion of the bundled freeware application.
Software products designed to detect, remove or disable existing spyware infections and/or and prevent spyware installation.
Protects a PC from spyware infection. Spyware protection software will find and remove spyware without system interruption.
An anti-virus software program available for download.
A user-generated, shared online journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies; "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order. Derived from "Web log," "blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
An application program that allows the user to examine encoded documents in a form suitable for display, esp. such a program for use on the Web.
A spyware program that resets a user's homepage so each time the browser is launched, the user lands on the site determined by the spyware.
An error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g., producing an incorrect result). Most bugs arise from mistakes and errors made by people in either a program's source code or its design, and a few are caused by compilers producing incorrect code.
Pieces of information generated by a Web server and stored on your computer for future access. Cookies were originally implemented to allow you to customize your Web experience. However, some sites now issue adware cookies, which allow multiple sites to store and access cookies that may contain personal information (surfing habits, usernames and passwords, areas of interest, etc.), and then simultaneously share the information with other sites. Adware cookies are installed and accessed without your knowledge or consent.
When credit card fraud occurs, a merchant (business, service provider, seller, etc.) is tricked into releasing merchandise or rendering services, believing that a credit card account will provide payment. The merchant later learns that they will not be paid, or that the payment they received will be reclaimed by the card's issuing bank. A fraudulent or stolen credit card is charged for the purchase. Today, half of all credit card fraud is conducted online using spyware.
The primary display screen of a graphical user interface, on which various icons represent files, groups of files, programs, or the like, which can be moved, accessed, added to, put away, or thrown away in ways analogous to the handling of file folders, documents, notes, etc., on a real desk.
An application that typically installs itself without user consent. Once installed, dialers are designed to run up phone bills by automatically dialing long distance and 900 numbers. While the do not spy on you, they will rack up significant long distance phone charges.
To transfer software, data, character sets, etc. from a remote system, such as a Web site, FTP server, or other similar system, or to transfer from a nearby computer, from a larger to a smaller computer, or from a computer to a peripheral device; A download is any file that is offered for downloading or that has been downloaded.
When programs are downloaded without the user's knowledge or consent. Most often accomplished when the user clicks to close or eliminate a random advertisement or other dialogue box.
The scrambling of data so it becomes difficult to unscramble and interpret.
The practice of making files available for other users to download over the Internet and smaller networks. Usually file sharing follows the peer-to-peer (P2P) model, where the files are stored on and served by personal computers of the users.
Prevents computers on a network from communicating directly with external computer systems. A firewall typically consists of a computer that acts as a barrier through which all information passing between the networks and the external systems must travel. The firewall software analyzes information passing between the two and rejects it if it does not conform to pre-configured rules. Firewalls provide effective protection against worm infection, but not against spyware like Trojans, which hide in legitimate applications, then install secretly on a user's PC when the application is launched.
Software installed with completely unrelated programs. Developers of shareware or freeware with large distribution sometimes get paid to bundle unrelated software with their software. The foistware in most cases is mentioned in the End User License Agreement.
A programmer who breaks into computer systems in order to steal or change or destroy information as a form of cyber-terrorism.
Sometimes called browser hijackers, homepage hijackers can change your default home page as well as other Web browser settings. Common behavior also includes adding advertising, pornographic, or other unwanted bookmarks, creating pop-up advertisements, and redirecting mistyped or incomplete URLs. Additionally, home page hijackers may redirect your searches to "pay-per-search" Web sites.
Invented by Netscape to provide authentication and encrypted communication, https is widely used for security-sensitive online communication such as payment transactions and corporate logons. Https refers to the combination of a normal HTTP interaction over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) transport mechanism.
The criminal abuse of consumers' personal identifiers. The main concern for consumers is financial crime exploiting their credit worthiness to commit loan fraud, mortgage fraud, lines-of-credit fraud, credit card fraud, commodities and services frauds.
The interest an individual has in controlling, or at least significantly influencing, the handling of data about themselves.
Internet Service Provider (ISP, also called Internet access provider or IAP). A business or organization that sells to consumers access to the Internet and related services. In the past, most ISPs were run by the phone companies. Now, ISPs can be started by just about any individual or group with sufficient money and expertise. In addition to Internet access via various technologies such as dial-up and DSL, they may provide a combination of services including Internet transit, domain name registration and hosting, web hosting, and colocation.
A form of real-time communication between two or more people based on typed text. The text is conveyed via computers connected over a network such as the Internet.
A type of system monitor that has the ability to record all keystrokes on your computer. Therefore, a keylogger can record and log your email conversations, chat room conversations, instant messages, and any other typed material. They have the ability to run in the background, hiding their presence.
A system driver that is linked into the Networking system for Microsoft Windows computers. It has the ability to access all data entering and leaving through the network interfaces.

A computer program (either an application or part of the operating system) stops performing its expected function and stops responding to other parts of the system. Often the offending program may simply appear to freeze.
Information such as name, address, phone number, credit card information, bank account information, or social security number.
Webroot's Phileas is the industry's first and only automated spyware research system. Phileas consists of dozens of servers arrayed in a data center. Each server hosts one or more "bots" that scour the Web for Web sites that contain spyware.
Bots search each site, revealing pages with characteristics of exploits or suspicious application code or suspected new spyware threats. Innovative, pattern-matching technologies allow Phileas to identify known and unknown exploits, plus any changes to existing spyware variants. New URL targets identified by Phileas are sent to Webroot for processing and evaluation.
The Webroot Threat Research team uses proprietary algorithms to create definitions for each new spyware signature or variant, which go through an extensive quality assurance process before being released to customers.
A criminal activity using social engineering techniques. Phishers attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an electronic communication. Phishing is typically carried out using email or instant messaging.
A personal identification number (PIN) is a secret numeric password shared between a user and a system that can be used to authenticate the user to the system. Typically, the user is required to provide a non-confidential user identifier or token (such as a banking card) and a confidential PIN to gain access to the system. Upon receiving the User ID and PIN, the system looks up the PIN based upon the User ID and compares the looked-up PIN with the received PIN. Only if they match is the user granted access.
A tool used to see if a computer is operating and to see if network connections are functioning. Essentially when someone performs a "Ping" they are sending packets of information out to a specific host and are waiting to see when or if they get a response. This function is used to see if you can reach another computer and to see how it takes to get information "bounced back".
One that victimizes, plunders, or destroys, especially for one's own gain.
The interest that individuals have in sustaining a 'personal space,' free from interference by other people and organizations.
The responsibilities of the organization that is collecting personal information and the rights of the individual who provided the personal information. Typically, this means that an organization will explain why information is being collected, how it will be used, and what steps will be taken to limit improper disclosure. It also means that individuals will be able to obtain their own data and make corrections if necessary.
An option within spam that is often false. That is, if you click a "remove me" link within a spam message you very well may be subjecting yourself to more spam, because by responding, the sender knows that your email account is active. A 2002 study performed by the FTC demonstrated that in 63% of the cases where a spam offered a "remove me" option, responding either did nothing or resulted in more email.
A set of software tools intended to conceal running processes, files or system data from the operating system; Used increasingly by malware to help intruders maintain access to systems while avoiding detection.
Software distributed for evaluation without cost, but that requires payment to the author for full rights. If, after trying the software, you do not intend to use it, you simply delete it. Using unregistered shareware beyond the evaluation period is pirating.
Sluggish performance of vital computer programs, like operating system or Internet browser. Usually caused by spyware infection that consumes a substantial amount of computer memory, leaving limited resources for other legitimate programs to use.
Social software specifically focused on the building and verifying of online social networks for whatever purpose. Many social networking services are also blog hosting services. As of 2005, there are over three hundred known social networking websites. mySpace and Facebook are some examples.
A global leader in the fight against computer viruses.
Spam is unsolicited commercial email. It is sent, usually in bulk, through "open-relays" to millions of people. Spam is cost-shifted advertising. It takes a toll on Internet users' time, their resources, and the resources of Internet Service Providers (ISP). Most recently, spammers have begun to send advertisements via text message to cell phones.
Spyware is any application that makes potentially unwanted changes to your computer while collecting information about your computer activities. This information may then be sent to a third party for malicious purposes, without your knowledge or consent. Spyware arrives bundled with freeware or shareware, through email or instant messenger, as an ActiveX installation, or by someone with access to your computer. Unlike traditional personalization or session cookies, spyware is difficult to detect, and difficult (if not impossible) for the average user to remove without the use of a top-quality anti-spyware program.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols which provide secure communications on the Internet for such things as Web browsing, email, Internet faxing, and other data transfers. SSL allows client/server applications to communicate in a way designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, and message forgery.
A type of spyware that has the ability to monitor all of your computer activity. They range in capabilities and may record some or all of the following: keystrokes, emails, chat room conversations, instant messages, Web sites visited, programs run, time spent, and even usernames and passwords. The information is gathered via remote access or sent by email, and may then be stored for later retrieval.
A malicious program that allows a hacker to make changes to your computer. Unlike a virus, a Trojan does not replicate itself. It is generally disguised as a harmless software program and distributed as an email attachment. Once you open the attachment, the Trojan may install itself on your computer without your knowledge or consent. It has the ability to manage files on your computer, including creating, deleting, renaming, viewing, or transferring files to or from your computer. It may utilize a program manager that allows a hacker to install, execute, open, or close software programs. The hacker may have the ability to open and close your CD-ROM drive, gain control of your cursor and keyboard, and may even send spam by sending mass emails from your infected computer. They have the ability to run in the background, hiding their presence.
A Virus is a computer program which distributes copies of itself, even without permission or knowledge of the user. Though the term is commonly used to refer to a range of malware, a true virus must do these two things: self replicate and execute itself.
In computer security, the word vulnerability refers to a weakness in a system or PC that allows an attacker to violate the confidentiality, integrity or availability of a system or PC.
A program that replicates itself over a computer network and usually performs malicious actions, such as using up the computer's resources and possibly shutting the system down. The name is an acronym for "write once, read many." A recent example of a worm is the Sasser worm (or W32.Sasser.A and its variants) that affected millions of corporate and private computer systems. Earlier in 2004, the Netsky worm (or W32/Netsky) spread by mass email using addresses obtained from an infected computer. It also spreads via local networks by trying to copy itself to shared folders on drives C: to Z:

Habitat for Humanity provides Lincoln family a home just before Thanksgiving
Brian Ney and Nicole Stratman have spent several Thanksgivings together, but this one will always hold a special place in their hearts.
That's because it will be the first holiday the couple and their four children get to spend in a home of their very own.
"It's going to be amazing, for sure," Ney said Friday, just hours before he and Stratman finalized the purchase of their new three-bedroom house in Lincoln. "Having a solid home of our own, with a good foundation under us for Thanksgiving, it's just more than would have imagined a year ago."
The family's dream of moving into a new home became a reality last week, in part, through a partnership between Sussex County Habitat for Humanity and the Sussex County Division of Community Development and Housing's Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
Using a federal stimulus grant provided by the county, Habitat For Humanity was able to purchase the previously abandoned home out of foreclosure about six months ago.
Nearly 150 volunteers from AmeriCorps, the University of Delaware's Kent & Sussex Alumni Club and various church organizations then joined Ney and Stratman in rehabbing the property over a period of about five months, culminating with a dedication ceremony on Friday.
"This is a very special family who worked very hard to reach this moment," Kevin Gilmore, the executive director of Sussex County Habitat for Humanity, said during the ceremony. "This is exactly what we strive for with this program and we're so excited that this day has finally arrived for them."
For Ney and Stratman, it was the end of journey that began during a dark hour for their family one year ago.
"At the time, we were renting a mobile home in Lincoln and I had just quit my job to be a stay at home dad because the cost of childcare was killing us," Ney said. "We were having to choose between that and buying food, so I had to make a decision."
Subsisting only on Stratman's income as an assistant manager at the KFC in Milford, the family of six – including 5-year-old Corrine, 3-year-old Arianna and the 1-year-old twins, Brison and Dani-Lynn – were in serious need of health care coverage, so Ney turned to the phone book for help.
"Right next to 'health care' was 'housing,' and that's when the number for Habitat for Humanity just jumped out at me like it was in highlighter or something," he said.
After making that initial call, the couple filled out applications, went through the interview process and participated in agency-run courses on maintaining a household budget and eliminating debt.
"We require buyers to be debt free by the time we sell them the house, because we're not going to set them up for failure," explained Thomas Protack, the community engagement director for Habitat. "They have to be able to afford the mortgage payments, which average about $450 to $550 a month and they each must contribute 250 hours of work on the house."
Stratman said it wasn't easy to put in the work on the house during her two days off each week.
"I didn't get to see my kids a lot, but it was definitely worth it in the long run," she said. "There is no way we would have been able to afford our own home otherwise, and I'm just so thankful that we can finally move in."
Habitat to build new home in Milford next year
Sussex County Habitat for Humanity is currently seeking donated land in the Milford area on which to build a new home in partnership with Burris Logistics and Brendon T. Warfel Construction.
The companies announced their partnership with Habitat last month and are currently raising funds to move the project forward.
Burris, Warfel and Sussex County Habitat for Humanity are also reaching out to the community in the hopes of finding a suitable property.
"No doubt, you will be giving the gift of homeownership so that a Milford family will have a decent, safe and affordable place to live and raise their children," said Tom Protack, Habitat's director of community engagement. "As the walls of their house go up, so many other walls of anxiety, worry and doubt will come down."
Brendon Warfel will volunteer as the construction leader on the project, which is slated to begin next spring. Employees at Burris Logistics also will volunteer their time to raise funds and contribute to the construction.
Members of the community and other local companies are being asked to help participate, as well.
Anyone interested in donating land or joining the project is asked to call Sussex County Habitat for Humanity at (302) 855-1153, ext. 210.

One final note – if your plan is to respond to this post with a rant against ownership being cheap bastards who are just pocketing all the money and screwing the fans because they don't want to win, don't bother. In fact, go away. You don't know what you're talking about. The perpetuated myth that the team is intent on screwing you out of your money by putting a bad product on the field is stupid and wrong. Winning teams make more money than losing teams. If the Mariners were completely and utterly intent on maximizing profits with no regard for anything else, they'd have invested more heavily in the product, because winning breeds revenues. It isn't a lack of desire to win, or a preference for profit over winning, that has caused the team to stumble the last decade. They just made a bunch of bad baseball decisions that ended up doing real long term harm to the franchise. It is as simple as that. They aren't losing on purpose. Stop believing that crap.

This appeared today, and has generated quite a buzz. I received a really flattering text message on the column from someone in Bhubaneshwar and I can tell you, it felt good. As I told those eager beavers at the IIM-A last afternoon, for a writer there is no greater reward than a reader appreciating something. Oh, I bet you want to know whether or not my chaas and dhokla date with Modi happened. It didn't. Worse, no chhas, no dhokla. The dinner I was invited to was hostd by a couple keen on breaking the traditional rules of Gujju cuisine ( which I so love - the cuisine, not the rules). Instead of dhokla, guests were treated to cheese toasts and pizzas. But mercifully, only as starters. The rest of the banquet was delicious but a little too spicey for me. The sharpness of the meal was somewhat sweetened by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan's refined conversation and impeccable manners. There was a particularly boorish bureaucrat at our table whose every second sentence began, " When I was at Shah Rukh Khan's house in Mumbai..." Khansaab looked at me and sighed deeply. That was the extent of his demonstrating his disinterest. I was ruder and blunter.
Yes, I met Mallika. We bonded big time as we drove back to Ahemedabad together after visiting two villages in the Kalol district, more than 40kms from the city. I'll be writing a full account in my next column. Let me just say Mallika did not disappoint. And I am proud of her... regardless of the outcome. She was upbeat and full of beans as she went from jhopdi to jhopdi making her pitch to those simple folk who have been taken for a ride for 62 years by various political parties. Please be patient.... I shall tell all. But break ke baad.
A foolish confession: I missed my flight. Yes. Again. I had given myself a clear one-and-a-half hours to get to the airport. Guess what?? It's no longer enough. By the time i got on to the next much later flight, I was half asleep on arrival at A'Bad. But my local minders were merciless! They gave me all of 10 minutes to change and jump into a waiting car.... and on to the cheese toast dinner.At 40 degrees centigrade and still climbing, i though I'd faint. But tra la la, mine hosts had arranged a 'Mist Fan' (end of my hair, but at least i wasn't dying of dehydration). A 'mist fan' is a fantastic contraption which sprays a fine mist that keeps drenching those at close range but otherwise cools down the space most effectively. I was tempted to borrow Khansaab's dupatta (it was NOT a shawl), but by then my hair was stringy and hanging in wet rat tails anyway.
I met my Gujarati translator, Sonalben at the talk, and was delighted to hear my books will soon be published in Modi's state. On the way back to Mumbai, I wasn't taking any chances. My flight was still three hours away. Sonal suggested a quick trip to 'Bandhej' - surely one of the chicest stores in India?? How could I resist? After gasping at the sight of those exquisite bandhnis and leheriyas, I reluctantly dragged myself out of the store and just about made the flight. Hurrah!
" No Englis, pliz…. we are mulayam."
Wah, Mulayam, wah! No English. No computers - no problem.Just goondagiri, illiteracy,ignorance and netagiri. A winning formula indeed for India in the 21st century.Sometimes, one feels enough jootas haven't been hurled yet.Jayalalithaa said, " A good politician rules out nothing." What about a bad politician? The world's eyes are on us right now. These elections are likely to be the most closely watched ones in the country's history. So far, the scenario looks pretty depressing and grim - national leaders busy taking cheap pot shots at one another ( like school-going brats fighting over the Headboy position ). Narendra Modi's sexist and inane 'Budhiya\Gudiya' comments. Political murders, naxal attacks and shameful alignments. There's a bloody maha yudh going on. But hey… this is democracy at its vibrant best. That's the upside. Anybody and everybody is welcome to take a crack at winning a seat – from hard- core gangsters to whiz- kid bankers. It sounds incredible, but at the end of the bhaagam bhaag, the Indian voter invariably manages to assert himself\herself and get the fundas right. That in itself is nothing short of a miracle.
Manmohan Singh has referred to Independent candidates as 'Spoilers', much to the horror of the chi chi crowd. The fact that he thought it important to raise the issue at all, says something. And that something has to do with a 'C-word' called 'Class'. This election was supposed to be about Caste and little else. It suddenly looks like Class has become the new Caste! Everybody is having a go at anybody who is educated, speaks English and lives the good life– a city slicker, in other words. I don't get it. We are more comfortable with smugglers, robbers, murderers and assorted charge sheeters. We can deal with goons, gamblers, drunkards and other equally charming individuals. But the minute someone armed with a degree walks into the picture, we treat that person as a pariah, an outcaste. If that person happens to be a woman, God help her – she is dubbed a 'memsaab', and her privileged background is the first strike against her.Professional qualifications become disqualifications – an Ophthalmic doctor from Mumbai has been rubbished as a 'socialite' since she lives in a posh locality. Ditto for the banker who wears pearls. There is a clumsy attempt to equate middle class affluence to self-indulgence and frivolity. Why pigeon hole politicians by providing 'uniforms' based on traditional clichés – khadi kurtas for men, handloom sarees for women?Why damn people who don't conform to this pre-determined 'mould' and defy those dated dress codes ?Why accuse them of being disconnected from the masses. " Elitist' is the new gaali, the most convenient putdown. In order to be taken seriously, one only has to look and play the part - forget objectives or issues.It's the same as getting Sanjay Dutt to parrot 'Gandhigiri' dialogues from his hit film and pass them off as his personal ideology. It is all about acting-shackting and manipulative projection.Or so the self-styled experts think.
But the Indian voter (whether from Banjara Hills or Malabar Hill or from the back of the beyond in Chhattisgarh) is much smarter than that, as has been proved in our fourteen previous general elections. Underestimating the intelligence of the common man has been many a neta's undoing. Mulayam Singh had to beat a hasty retreat from his ' No Englis, pliz' position.And nobody even in his own state was buying his 'back to roots' retrogressive suggestions. Keeping the rural poor without electricity is a trick that no longer works. Bijlee is their birthright and they shall have it. Computers have transformed their lives with instant money transfers and other electronic banking facilities. Try telling them to go back to living in the trees and scrounging for berries.Mass media, Bollywood in particular , has had such a permanent and powerful influence on voters across the board that today, everyone wants to live the gaudy, technicolour dream. There are countless, restless hopefuls out there who continue to believe in the upbeat India story and are prepared to fight for it aggressively. They came down from the caves years ago. Nobody can push them back in there again. Not even Mayawati. Singh may well become King again ( a 'weak' one, Mr. Advani?), which is exactly what corporate India wants. But if that happens, our man will have to deal with the 'spoilers' in our midst - those rare islands of decency, integrity,sanity, honesty – and yes – naivite. This motley crowd of individuals has given us hope that in an ocean of corruption ( the real and only curse in India), they chose to fight on, knowing the odds are stacked against them. Let a thousand 'spoilers' bloom!

Brooklyn in her natural state.
A stick insect. Ewwww!
The fountain is back! Yay! I'm glad they didn't take it out. All they did was add these....
The gang minus 2 kiddos
polar bear. He was playing in the water and putting on a fun show. We watched him for a long time and when we finally moved on, this is what Brooklyn did...
You got it. She threw a fit and even jumped out of the wagon while it was moving and ran back to the polar bear.
Maybe I should buy her this polar bear to stop her crying.
BAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAA!!!!! NOT! In case you can't see - the price tag reads $2,699.95!
Chito and Rita are spectacled bears. What kind of bears? Spectacled bears!
The gang minus Brooklyn. They're soaking wet from standing in a sprinkler by the elephants.

It was a long day
and we were stopped by an even longer train on the way home. 150+ cars!
Brooklyn's head kept flopping forward so Austin came up with this creative restraint system. Yep, they're goggles.
From the zoo, we had to go straight on to Jackson's last baseball game. I was all hot and sweaty and my hair was gross and I smelled like a camel. Lovely. I just always feel this obsessive need to hop in the shower the instant I get home from the zoo. Anyway, Jackson did a great job pitching and hitting, but the team lost so they came in 4th for the season. Not too bad!
"I don't know if you read all your comments... I seem to recall you saying somewhere that it can take you awhile to get through your e-mail...

Thank you so much and thank you to HMC who gave me an award last week and to all the awesome, sweet bloggers who have given me awards in the past. You're right - I don't put them on my sidebar because I don't think I'd have enough room to put all of them there. (Man, do I sound full of myself, or what?!) I absolutely appreciate all of them however! You guys rock!

Cyberbullying is using information and communication technologies to deliberately and repeatedly behave in a manner intended to harass, threaten, humiliate or harm others.
If you discover your child has been, or is being, a cyberbully you are not alone. Research suggests that between 10 - 20% of students will be a cyberbully at some point, and some research suggests these percentages may be even higher. This means that a lot of parents will discover their child is a cyberbully and need to help change their child's behavior.
By acknowledging the problem exists you have already taken the first positive step in creating change. Too many parents shut their eyes and deny their child could do such a thing in spite of the evidence. Unfortunately, when parents choose the path of denial what they really choose is to deny their child the opportunity to change their behavior and learn from the damage they've done.
For younger kids: Blocking access for a time is more feasible with younger children as they are less likely to need the internet to complete school work. They can then go through a period where they are online only when you or another adult are supervising. When they have made full restitution and demonstrated that they are ready to be socially responsible internet users, you can let them try again with family safety (often called parental controls) tools in place that can monitor conversations and flag you if cyberbullying is occurring. Let them take one small step at a time and demonstrate their responsibility before adding a new privilege. You may also want to call your child's cell phone carrier and have them turn off any data and texting capabilities in their plan to restrict access until your child has shown you they are ready to master the responsibility that goes with these privileges.
For older kids and teens: Blocking access is more problematic with older kids as they are likely to need the internet to do their homework, and teens have multiple ways to get online without your supervision. A couple of alternatives are to place family safety monitoring software on their devices that specifically tracks for content that looks like cyberbullying and other risks. And, or to restrict the amount of time your child or teen is away from home, the amount of time they are online at home, and the conditions under which they are allowed online (like your presence). Let them take on one small step at a time and demonstrate their responsibility before adding a new privilege. You may also want to call your child's cell phone carrier and have them turn off any data and texting capabilities in their plan to restrict access until your child has shown you they are ready to master the responsibility that goes with these privileges.
Watch closely for any signs of retaliation. Most kids don't like getting into trouble and it can be easier to blame the victim for the troubles they're in than to admit that they are responsible for their actions. Remain watchful to see if signs of retaliation are present. Any retaliation means your child continues to blame someone else for their misdeeds rather than looking at their own actions.
Understand the potential damage to your child if their bullying or cyberbullying continues.
There is little research available today about the long term effects of cyberbullying as the phenomena is so new, but there are significant studies showing the long-term effects of being a bully. These behaviors place your child at higher risk for lifelong negative outcomes if their behavior doesn't change. Consider the following data points:
We all learn from our mistakes. We either learn that we don't want to make those mistakes again, or we learn to be smarter and not get caught for our actions. By tackling any cyberbullying incident and working with your child until you can see they've internalized a new respect for others, you can help ensure they internalize the right lesson.

Meine Großmutter (a little family history)
40 comments:
- Ashley said...
how neat! One of my dad's sisters has traced that side of the family back really far (I think to my great x7 grandparents) - she gave each member of the family a book with it all written down, plus stories from old relatives, copies of letters and pictures. It's SO neat. My mom and I were actually just talking the other day about how we don't know much about her side of the family, other than they were German immigrants who came down to Missouri via Canada in the '50s.

Oh there's nothing better than going through old photos like that sometimes :)
My grandmother is from a little village near Weilburg as well, but also moved when she met my grandfather.
do you speak a little german? or just the little 'hallo. wie geht es dir? gut, danke.' snippets? ;)

- Rachel said...
This is so cool! I love looking through old family photos, even one's that aren't my family. We have my mom's family traced back to before they came from England in the early 1700's. My 7th great grandfather was a colonel in the American Revolution and built the oldest standing house in the county I was born and raised. I think it's neat to know where we come from and I wish I knew more about my family before they came to America.

Those are great photos, definitely to be treasured. I wish I knew my family history. We are a huge bunch of mongrels from Germany, Italy and France but my Opa, the only one who could tell us anything, refuses to. Families huh!

These are fantastic photos!! wow! I love the first one especially! :)
My mom has recently become hooked on Ancestry.com (we joke that she should join an Ancestry.com Anonymous group.. that's how obsessed she is) and she was able to trace one part of our family back through the 1600's. You know in the commercials the people always say "my grandparents lived next to the Wright brothers!" or "my great grandfather was the first doctor in his town!" ... well we found out that my ancestor was the town rat catcher. lol!

This post is amazing. I love family history stuff. In fact, when I was just in Slovakia we managed to find out where my Great Uncle lives and visit him. My grandfather had never met his cousin, and it was precious to see them meet, and they even discovered they were born only one day apart!
All of my great-grandparents were immigrants, from Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Ireland. I recently found the ship log from when Papa came over from Germany, and I also found the census records from when Grandpa Benik was a window washer in Manhattan. Finding things like that are like finding gold to me! :)

yes, all those little Hesse villages ;)

Wonderful photos! The last one is my favorite. :) I dug through my grandmother's photos on both sides of the family and treasure them so much. Thanks for sharing!

How wonderful! I love looking at old photos of family. Your grandmother was stunning! I love that sassy look she has in the first photo. :)
- June 13, 2011 at 1:07 PM
- clementine* said...
Oh, I love these photos! Your grandmother was so beautiful. I'd love to see early pictures of my grandmother. I remember seeing an old picture of my grandfather holding my mother on her 4th birthday, and a picture of my other grandparents holding my cousin right after she was born. I looked at that for a long time because they died soon after that in a car crash and I haven't really seen a lot of photos of them.
I don't know too much about my family's history. My dad's family is from the North and my mom's family is from the South, but that's about as far back as I can go. I don't categorize myself after my ancestry, I was born in California and I am a Californian. But my maiden name is dutch (One of those "Van" names) and if I had to go far back I'm pretty much a mix of northern Europe.
Well anyway, thanks for your wonderful post today! :)

This is so awesome. I feel like our family photos are scattered everywhere across families that we dont have any in ours! Our family is from Mexico, they were farm people so there arent many photos to begin with. I'm going there this summer with my family tree in hand hoping to discover more about my family and make the tree bigger
- June 13, 2011 at 3:04 PM

One of my relatives found my great-great-grandpa's journals and had them translated and bound. i think that is the most interesting piece of family history that my family has.

your grandmother is so beautiful! the photos are amazing- you're so lucky to have them all! i do know quite a bit of my family history. my dad's parents' house had a fire when he was young, so most of the photos are ruined. i still love to go through what's left though.

i don't know as much as i would like. not much was documented in mexico back then. well, for poor people it was mainly like that. but i know a few crazy stories about my grandparents and how them came to america.

Wow! So neat! I love old family pictures. We have a family tree that goes back to 2 brothers in Ireland in the early 1800's. I was the last family member to make the tree!

These photos are amazing! Looks like your grandmother knew how to have fun!
I recently came home with a stash of photos of my great-grandfather (my dad's paternal grandfather). He was a farmer in Arkansas, but we also have photos of his time in Germany durning World War I. Most of my family can be traced back to England, Scotland, Ireland or France. The Hairstons came to America in the 18th century from Scotland and started plantations in Virginia and other parts of the South. My dad's still doing a bunch of research!

These are so wonderful! My family doesn't have a lot of old photos, but we do have a family tree that shows our Swedish ancestors going back to the 1600's.
- June 13, 2011 at 6:21 PM
I do know some family history, but I am forever hearing new bits and pieces. It appears that your grandmother was not only beautiful, but quite spirited.
- June 13, 2011 at 8:04 PM
- SomethingDutch said...
I'm such a geek for family history! This is awesome!
My mother's side of the family can be traced to a Bohemian tribe who then moved to France and eventually came from Yorkshire, England to settle in Canada.
My father's side is mostly Dutch, and we were magistrates and dike reeves (controlled the canals) until the turn of the century and then emigrated to the USA.
My grandmother's family came over on the Mayflower, too, and were German, which I thought was neat- something like my great^8th grandmother married a fellow colonist in the colony there at Plymouth!
Awesome post! The past has so much to offer!

Those photos are amazing! I love the archaeological dig ones, too. Your grandmother looks like she was a fascinating lady! I wish I knew more of my family history. I did a lot of research on it when I was in high school, but I hit a lot of roadblocks. Unfortunately most everyone on my paternal side is gone now except for my dad and aunt, so I feel a responsibility to try to learn and document as much as I can. I do love genealogy, though - it is so fascinating to learn where you came from!

This is awesome. One of my great uncles did some genealogy going back to the 1700s, I believe, but since my family were peasants before the war and refugees after, there aren't many photos up until my mom was a kid. Those that exist show my grandma was a stylish lady, like yours!

After 88 years serving Yreka and its surrounding communities, Cooley and Pollard Hardware on Miner Street in Yreka will soon be closing its doors for good, says owner Ross Cooley.
After 88 years serving Yreka and its surrounding communities, Cooley and Pollard Hardware on Miner Street in Yreka will soon be closing its doors for good, says owner Ross Cooley.
"It's been great all these years," Cooley told the Daily News. "I love my customers and our community but I'm ready to retire." He said he is looking forward to spending more time golfing, traveling, doing some work on his home and finishing a driving range he is building.
The original Cooley and Pollard soda fountain and sporting goods store was opened across the street from the current location in 1924 by Cooley's grandfather Ernest Cooley and his partner Bernard "Polly" Pollard.
"Sometime just before the Great Depression, the Masonic Lodge that built this building offered them the opportunity to move in here and run a hardware store," said Cooley as he gave the Daily News a nostalgic tour around the vast expanse of the current store.
"My grandfather said this area of the country was hardly effected by the Depression because nobody around here had money in the stock market," Cooley said, explaining that the business did well even when much of the rest of the country was suffering.
Cooley said his grandfather – a World War I Balloon Corps soldier, born in Yreka in 1898 – eventually sold the business to his father Stanford Cooley after he finished his service in the Marine Corps.
The family tradition was also enhanced by the involvment of Cooley's mother. He said she ran a gift shop upstairs for nearly 40 years. "Just about every bride in town registered with our gift shop during that time. My mom was incredible," he said.
In 1976, after serving in the Navy and earning a degree in business from California State University, Chico, Ross Cooley took the reigns and has run the store ever since.
Over the years, Cooley has expanded the store, remodeled and expanded some more to serve the needs of his customers. He also made the needs of his employees a priority by operating under a profit-sharing business model for 30 of the 36 years under his management.
Cooley said that even under the pressure of ever-increasing government regulations and local competition, his family's store has always remained profitable.
In a small town that has been home to several hardware-oriented businesses for most of the past century, Cooley said he always tried to occupy specific niches that allowed him to compete and stay profitable. Two of his expansion projects were performed to add wood stove sales and equipment rental to his arsenal of products and services. He said during his time at the store, he was one of the most successful wood stove retailers in the state, a distinction that contributed to the business' success and won Cooley a trip to Tahiti one year.
One of the highlights of his career, Cooley said, was being part of a national ad campaign for True Value Hardware in 1986.
"They featured several small-town stores from across the country," he explained. "Then they ran the ad with a picture of me in the store one month. Then they ran it again and again throughout that year. They must have gotten a good reaction to that ad because they kept using it over and over," Cooley said proudly.
The equipment rental business, he said, will remain open for a time after the hardware store closes. The final closing date is not set but will be within the next few months as Cooley navigates the process of a going-out-of-business sale, and then diverting the remaining inventory to other True Value Hardware stores in California. The building will also be sold, eventually.
While Cooley recounted many fond memories from his decades at the store, his talk of retirement and the adventures he looks forward to were punctuated by a smile that made it clear that he has no regrets.
"It really has been great. It's just time to retire and move on to other things," he said, glancing around the store that has become part of Yreka's history.

Last weekend I had 3 friends visiting from Holland and brought them to colorful Cobh for the day. On of my favorite things about Cobh is the 'Deck of Cards', a row of beautifully painting houses stacked up on a hill overlooking the town below. With the stunning St Colman's Cathedral perched on a hill behind them, the houses make for some pretty amazing photos.
