Thanks for visiting my bio!
Also many warm thanks for all the wonderful people who left flowers, candles or other tokens!
My life motto is: "There are no coincidencies, everything has it's purpose and all things happen at the right time."
If you find any errors or incomplete birth and death dates in my postings, please, contact me through the EDIT-button at the right top of the site. I'd be happy to make the corrections and additions.
The photos I've added are either public domain or taken by me.
Please! Do not add any photos from other sites to my entries unless you've taken them yourself or you have the photographer's permission to publish them. I would really appreciate it.
Hi, Everyone!
They say there are no coincidencies in this world and it certainly proved true, when I googled Maira one day. One of the search results offered an option: Maera. In Greek mythology, Maera was the hound of Icarus, father of Erigone.
According to the myth:
"Icarus was a follower of wine god Dionysus and had been taught how to make wine. While travelling, Icarus met some drunken shepherds, who killed him. After getting sober next day the shepherds understood what they had done and buried Icarus' body. Erigone was worried about her father, and set off with her dog Maera to find him. Maera at last discovered his grave, and both became so overwhelmed with grief that Erigone hanged herself and Maera leapt off a cliff. According to the Greek poet Nonnos, Maera declined to leave the grave and was starved to death. Upon hearing the news, Dionysus placed them in the sky as the constellations of Virgo (Erigone), BoŠtes (Icarus) and the dog star, Sirius (Maera)."
In the remembrance of Maera, the eternally devoted dog, I'll do my best posting photographs of as many gravestones as possible in the Kanta-Hðme area in the Southern Province of Finland.

Finnish relatives
I am seeking your assistance to find further information on my Finnish relatives. I do not speak Finn, so run into issues finding the correct cemeteries to continue my search.
My grandmother was born in Kuortane, Finland. Her name was Maria Ilona Hernesmaa and she was an infant when she left with her mother, Alena Kaaranka (married to Matt Hernesmaa/Hernesman). I am hoping to find more clues to my Finnish roots. Alena's sister, Sanna Kaaranka (married to Paavola), returned to Kuortane, Finland and I believe that she was buried there with her parents.
Any assistance you can offer would be great. At this point I am thinking about learning Finn so that I can research (this is only one line of several of Finnish origin on my side & my husbands).
Thank you.

Ahokas,John Findagrave
Hello Maira, I see that you added a flower to this man's site in Forest Lawn, Norfolk VA some time ago.
I have usually been adding a little something about the Unknowns listed on the Seamen's Friend Stone there--making them an 'honorary Virginian' because they are resting here in Tidewater...But if you know this man or his family; that they are from Finland etc. I will leave "well enough alone" as they say.
ps, My husband's grandmother's family of Anton Mattson and Maria Hietamaki immigrated from Jalasjarvi, Finland (late 1890's) and settled in Chippewa County, Michigan--lots of his distant cousins are still in Michigan (big family!); but he has never met any.

Maira...would you be kind
Hello there
I am trying to get the correct spelling on the marriage certificate I have added to memorial
Since I am not familiar with the correct spelling...I would love for you to look at the marriage certificate giving the names of the groom's parents.
Am trying to find information where I can add them to findagrave and ancestry.com.
A lovely Finnish gentleman contacted me from the input on Find A Grave asking for more information on Klaara who was the sister to my grandmother Albertina who died before I was born.
Thanks again! You are simply wonderful!

John Stossel: Escaping government schools
Now I know that public school — government school is a better name — is one of the worst parts of America. It's a stultified government monopoly. It never improves.
I call them "government" instead of "public" schools because not much is "public" about them. Members of the public don't get to pick their kids' schools, teachers, curriculum or cost.
Now a school choice movement has given government schools a sliver of competition. Private schools, charter schools, vouchers, education tax credits and the Web offer competition. Not all the alternatives work, but with competition, bad alternatives die and good ones grow.
But so far, the alternatives reach only a small number of kids. Unions and bureaucrats don't want competition, and they use their political clout to stifle it. But gradually, they're losing.
Homeschoolers do just fine. Somehow, without government control, they prosper.
Bunk. If it was ever true, it isn't now.
He also looked at who sat with whom in school lunchrooms. At private schools, students of different races were more likely to sit together.
When government gets bad results — high dropout rates, poor test scores — its defenders say schools need more money. But spending per student has tripled. There are more computers, teachers, social workers, reading specialists, principals, assistant principals, etc. But test scores haven't improved.
A bizarre column in Slate recently, arguing that school choice might drain resources away from government schools, was titled, "If You Send Your Kid to Private School, You Are a Bad Person".
They don't understand that market competition helps everyone, especially the poor.
I think those who want to force a single-government solution on everyone are just confused — but if I were as judgmental as that Slate columnist, I'd be tempted to conclude that they're bad people.

Watzke thinks Ramos and Immobile will come good
Borussia Dortmund have undergone massive changes in the last few years after the sale of several important players like Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski. In order to replace those important names, the club brought in players like Adrian Ramos and Ciro Immobile in the summer. It is estimated that the club parted with around € 10 million for Immobile, while Ramos has been brought in for an undisclosed fee. It is well estimated that both these players have together cost more than € 20 million. Dortmund scored just over a goal per game this season.
Apart from moments of brilliance like that against Arsenal a few weeks ago, they have been struggling in the German Bundesliga. This has led to speculation that Dortmund may look to reinvest in the squad during the January transfer window. The club's CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke, however, says that the two players will eventually come good for the club. Immobile has scored three goals in eight appearances, while Ramos has fared slightly better by scoring five in 10 matches. Dortmund, as a whole, have been struggling this season, and they are in the bottom of the table after seven matches.
They have managed only two wins during this period, which has threatened to bring an end to Jurgen Klopp's brilliant reign at the club. "The future will show whether Immobile and Ramos are right for Dortmund. It's too soon to judge them now. And let's not forget that they have already scored 15 goals in official games together with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. That's a good return. Lucas Barrios and Robert Lewandowski initially struggled as well when they joined Dortmund. It wouldn't be normal to expect a new signing to fit in perfectly within six weeks. We play a different game than what they were used to," said Watzke.10.16.14

Chelsea v Schalke
Schalke will be coming up against Chelsea in the first Champions League group match of the season. This is seen as an easy group for the 2012 European champions, as they will be up against lesser teams like Sporting CP and Danish outfit Maribor in their quest to reach the knockout stages. Schalke will be the favourites to finish second behind Chelsea. The first match for the German club will be at Stamford Bridge and this is already proving to be a difficult match. Schalke go into the encounter knowing that Chelsea have just scored 15 goals in the opening four matches.
Much of the attacking threat has come from Diego Costa, who has had a fantastic start to his Chelsea career by scoring seven goals in just four matches. However, Schalke defender Dennis Aogo says that his team will be making a big mistake if they consider Costa as the only threat within this Chelsea team. Even though Costa has been a major goal scorer, the English club have also secured goals from the likes of Eden Hazard and Andre Schurrle. Cesc Fabregas is proving to be a major addition in the centre of midfield as he has already contributed six assists.
Aogo's Schalke come into the match after having just lost 4-1 to Borussia Mönchengladbach. "In Germany we have seen [Diego Costa] has had a great start to the season, but it's not just him. The whole team is playing very well and they are not top of the Premier League for nothing. We are a playing against some of the best players in the world here so we don't need any extra motivation. Who is to say that we won't have a great day and compete at the highest level," said Aogo. After three matches in the Bundesliga, Schalke are to get a win.09.17.14

Pedro Believes Fabregas Will Make Chelsea Strong
The Blaugrana striker Pedro reckons that Cesc Fabregas' arrival has made Chelsea's midfield immensely strong and they would be a team to watch out for in the European Cup next season.
The Blues have spent a big amount of 27 million Pounds to bring Fabregas at Stamford Bridge and according to Pedro, that's going to benefit them a lot.
Talking to the reporters yesterday, Pedro said, "Cesc is all class. He's a tremendous playmaker. As a striker, you want a player like him in the XI because you know if he is around, you are always going to get scoring opportunities."
"We are close buddies. Apart from Barcelona, we have played alongside each other for Spain as well. I think he is going to make Chelsea a very strong side."
Pedro also said that the punishment that has been imposed on the club's new signing Luis Suarez seems to be a bit harsh and the officials are trying to get it a bit softened.
When asked about Suarez, the 27-year Old Spaniard said, "It (the punishment) looks like a little too harsh. We are looking into it. But, in case we don't get any relief, we will have to wait for the ban period to get over."
"Luis' signing is fantastic news for everybody including the fans as well as the players. He is going to get enormous support here if he performs up to his level. There are not too many better than him in the game at the moment."
Suarez was a great hit at Liverpool scoring 69 in 110 league games. But, his behaviour there was not the best as he always remained in some sort of controversy. Barcelona definitely would want a bit of improvement from him on that front.07.23.14

Argentina To Face Switzerland
In the penultimate match in the Round of 16 of the FIFA World Cup 2014, Argentina will be facing Switzerland on the upcoming Tuesday. The match will be played at Arena de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo.
Argentina has a very strong team and thus, they were tipped for glory by a number of people coming into this tournament, but, they appeared to be a bit rusty at the start as in the first couple of matches against weaker opponents, they found it hard to dominate, but, in their last match against Nigeria, they lifted their game and looked absolutely lethal up front.
There were still some issues with Argentina's defence and they conceded a couple of goals against the Super Eagles, but, the rhythm of their attacking line looked brilliant there.
In competitions like World Cup, sometimes, it's good not to peak early. You need to peak at the right time and Argentina seems to be doing that only.
Lionel Messi's form has been a huge factor behind Argentina winning all their matches in the tournament so far. The 27-year old who is arguably the best player in the world at the moment has played some sensational football in Brazil. He is known as a big game player too. So, Switzerland will have to be very, very careful of him.
Switzerland's performance in the group round was a bit up and down. They won by 2-1 against Ecuador, but, suffered a 2-5 defeat against France in the next game to get into a tricky situation. They, however, picked themselves up from that defeat and crushed Honduras by 3-0 to reach the pre quarter finals.
Now, here is a big challenge for them. Defeating France is something that they can do only by playing out of their skins because the Les Blues look way better than them on paper.
The match will begin at 5 pm British Standard Time.

In the first few days of the 2011 Texas legislative session, a bill was filed that could affect groundwater availability and the flow of springs and streams throughout the Hill Country.
After much debate an amended version of SB 332 passed the house late in the evening during the final days of the legislative session. An analysis of this controversial legislation including who supports it, who opposes it and what concerns remain can be read here. The bottom line is that precious groundwater resources, below the land are being recognized by the state of Texas as the landowners "real property".
Senate Bill (SB) 332 addresses the significant issue of groundwater rights and groundwater regulation. This is not a simple issue; we all need to look carefully and consider whats best for rural landowners who become vulnerable when significant water resources are sold and shipped elsewhere. We need to consider whats best for our region, a unique place blessed with flowing springs and creeks that are often dependent on aquifers, and a region which is experiencing a very high rate of growth in a fragile rural landscape.
The property right individual landowners have to groundwater has a long legal history in Texas and is intimately tied to our state water planning processes and regulatory structure. Because these issues are complicated and nuanced, any change in statutory language could have significant effects on groundwater use, regulation and planning throughout the Hill Country and the rest of Texas. These issues can also be very controversial, especially in a region that relies so heavily on groundwater. Because of the uncertain legal consequences of this proposed legislation, we urge our leadership to be very cautious.
HCA has gathered ideas and resources to help Hill Country citizens understand groundwater rights and SB 332. Click here to read HCA's issue paper regarding the current regulatory environment and the changes SB 332, as introduced, would make.

Texas is virtually the only state that functions by the rule of capture, which allows landowners to pump essentially unlimited amounts of water. Elsewhere in the U.S., groundwater is a public resource, and the state allows people to use the resource. Read more from Texas Tribune.
Exactly how (the decision) will change the game is what everyone is trying to figure out. The case clearly established two things. First, that landowners legally own the groundwater underneath their land, and second, that landowners may be owed compensation if state or local regulations go too far in limiting the amount of groundwater landowners can pull. Beyond that things start to get a little murky. Read more from NPR.
Prompted by the severity of the current drought, Texans have been earnestly discussing how to manage the state's water resources for the next several decades to meet the needs of a growing population and dynamic economy. This necessary discussion must now consider last week's ruling on property rights and groundwater by the Texas Supreme Court and how it potentially threatens efforts to regulate and conserve aquifers. The court unanimously ruled Friday that property owners own the water beneath their land just as surely as they own the oil and gas. Read more from Statesman.com.

The Texas Senate concurred with the House version of SB 332, a best attempt to balance what started out known as the vested rights legislation. Many fear the bill will generate more lawsuits and financial strain for Groundwater Conservation Districts. Time will tell. Texas needs to come to grips with the need to manage our groundwater resources on a sustainable basis for future generations.

Groundwater rights have been hotly debated in Texas for as long as there has been the ability to pump it. Unlike surface water, which is owned by the state and held in trust for the public, Texas courts have ruled that groundwater is the surface owners vested private property. This vested right can be regulated by Groundwater Conservation Districts. Read more from Texas Living Waters.

There's a lot of evidence that millennials don't drive as much or care as much for cars in general as previous generations their own age did. They're less likely to get driver's licenses.

Residents living in the Meadows of Springbrook say they are shocked. They got letters from the City of Rockford telling them they may be forced to annex with Rockford.
John Cover bought his home last year. He feels he did his homework before buying but feels he was misinformed by city administration about efforts to bring his neighborhood into the city limits.
City planners say they are ready to work with residents. The process, they say, is fair and legal because the land involved is small, less than 60 acres. Planners believe it will be a benefit to Springbrook because annexation will provide full time police and fire protection, along with city water.
Residents are concerned not only about the process, but the accompanying the tax increase which would come from being in the city. Their property taxes which average about three thousand dollars per year could jump as much as 30 percent.
The city indicates the hike will likely be around 25 percent. The Rockford city council will meet with residents next week to discuss the proposed annexation

Although it comes not so long after FIFA 06, the additional game modes and features may be enough to qualify it as a purchase for many.
2006 FIFA World Cup is easy enough for a soccer novice to pick up and enjoy, but deep enough in detail and difficulty options to please the hardcore futbol fan. Though not beyond figuring out, more detailed in-game explanations or tutorials could have only helped make this game more accessible.
2006 FIFA World Cup is far from being a lackluster soccer game - in fact, it's this year's best one so far. But after being impressed with the first FIFA game on the DS last October, the follow-up doesn't do enough to justify a second purchase.
2006 FIFA World Cup on the DS is a mixed bag of things that work well and things that don't. [Jun 2006, p.86]
2006 FIFA World Cup captures all the excitement of the world's biggest football tournament, but the flashy presentation hides a real lack of depth.
If I would recommend one of the two, I'd say get the DS version, but to be safe get none of those two and go for one of the console versions.
None of the mini-games are particularly enjoyable, but they're there, and they break the monotony as well as provide you with some practice.
