The future of downtown Waconia appears to be in good hands after 18 dedicated business owners and citizens were appointed to a special Downtown Task Force during the Waconia City Council meeting on Jan. 22.
The task force members will help city officials develop a plan that addresses the future economic development and infrastructure needs of the downtown area. The plan will review current economic development tools as well as guide future infrastructure such as "this way to downtown" signage and other improvements.
The appointed members of the task force are: John Prondzinski, Summer Jensen, Dan Neubauer, Robert Schmaltz, Steve Yetzer, Paul Melchert, Myron Karki, Craig Sharp, Pat Anderson, Jeff Bonner, Steve Hebeisen, Margaret Milne, Shonna Caswell, John Schmidt, Paul Scheuble, Dermott Cowley, Donald Osmundson, and Fr. Bennet Tran.
"I think this is a really, really good task force," Mayor Jim Nash said. "I'm glad to see it underway. We've talked about it somewhat extensively. We're going to see a group of people who are both stakeholders in the business community and residents come together and sort of map out what's next and I think with that type of input it's going to be a really powerful group of people."
Nash said they tried to keep the group to a manageable size and that's why they chose who they did for it.
"We're going to work in earnest to deliver a really good product and integrate that into our building plans as we have major road construction projects coming up in the near-future so … integrate that in, get the work done ahead of time," he said.
According to Assistant City Administrator Shane Fineran, the task force will convene in early to mid-February so a schedule of the group's meetings is expected to be available sometime next month. Once it is available, it will be put on the city website. It was noted that citizens are welcome to attend the task force meetings.
In other matters:
• Charles Erickson was officially sworn in as the newest member of the Waconia City Council on Jan. 7. Erickson narrowly defeated incumbent Larry Millender in last fall's general election.
• Sgt. Mark Williams of the Carver County Sheriff's Office introduced himself to the council. Williams is the new officer that will be covering the city of Waconia. He replaces Sgt. George Pufahl, who now works in Chanhassen as a patrol sergeant.
Williams started with the Carver County Sheriff's Office in 1976.
In recent years, he has worked with the Southwest Metro Drug Task Force. Willliams noted that his first patrol shift occurred in Waconia. He said it was nice to be returning to the Waconia community and hopes to serve the community well and make Waconia an even better place than it is today.
• The Winterfest 5K, which was scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 2, has been cancelled due to insufficient registration. The Winterfest Carnival will still be held that day at Safari Island from 1 to 3 p.m.
• The council approved a final plat application by Ryland Homes for the Interlaken 6th Addition, which consists of 37 single-family home lots and four outlots and is located on the northeast side of the development. Final plat approval will be subject to the city and the developer entering into a required Developer's Agreement. Officials expect the council to consider that agreement sometime in February.
• Fire Chief Mark Morse gave an update on recent fire department activity. As of the meeting date, the fire department had responded to 25 emergencies — mostly medical calls — during January. However, Morse noted a couple of the bigger calls, including one that occurred at Lighthouse of Waconia on Jan. 2.
In that incident, the department received a water flow alarm. At the scene, firefighters discovered water coming out of the ceiling lights in the main lobby because of a broken water pipe. Although the damage probably exceeded $25,000, Morse noted that it could have been higher — he commended his firefighters for going the extra mile in getting rid of the excess water and Lighthouse officials must have been equally pleased with the effort as evidenced by the Card of Thanks they ran in last week's Waconia Patriot.
Morse mentioned the fire that occurred at Waconia High School on Jan. 7. He said the fire in that incident caused approximately $10,000 or more in damage.
Morse also talked about the house fire on Lakeview Terrace Boulevard on Jan. 9. The cause was found to be accidental due to an unattended fire in the fireplace. Fortunately, no one was in the house when the fire occurred but the house was destroyed. The estimated damage was approximately $500,000. Morse noted that a firefighter suffered a steam burn while working at the scene but that individual was fine now.
In other fire department notes, Morse said they are developing department-wide and officers goals.
• The city is looking into a possible solar energy project that would help reduce the operating expenses of the ice arena. JRR Power will present a non-binding proposal detailing the project and if it appears that the project would be beneficial for the city, a more in-depth analysis of the project will be pursued. It was noted in information provided to the council that state and federal tax credits, Xcel Energy rebates, and an energy purchase agreement with the installer could result in the city obtaining the system at no cost.
• The council's next meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 4.

Need VBA code to attach ACTIVE PDF to Lotus Notes e-mail
I have been using the VBA code below to attach the ACTIVE Excel file to the Lotus Notes email. I have recently created another macro that does a "file save as" function to save the ACTIVE Excel file as a PDF file. The macro below will not attach the ACTIVE PDF file... it gives me an error and stops at:
'Retrieve the path and filename of the active workbook.
stAttachment = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
I'm guessing I need to change the wording from "ActiveWorkbook.FullName" to something else because the active PDF is what I'd like to attach.
Any help is very much appreciated!
Sub SendEmail()
Dim noSession As Object, noDatabase As Object, noDocument As Object
Dim obAttachment As Object, EmbedObject As Object
Dim stSubject As Variant, stAttachment As String
Dim vaRecipient As Variant, vaMsg As Variant
Const EMBED_ATTACHMENT As Long = 1454
'Retrieve the path and filename of the active workbook.
stAttachment = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
'Initiate the Lotus Notes COM's Objects.
Set noSession = CreateObject("Notes.NotesSession")
Set noDatabase = noSession.GETDATABASE("", "")
'If Lotus Notes is not open then open the mail-part of it.
If noDatabase.IsOpen = False Then noDatabase.OPENMAIL
'Create the e-mail and the attachment.
Set noDocument = noDatabase.CreateDocument
Set obAttachment = noDocument.CreateRichTextItem("stAttachment")
Set EmbedObject = obAttachment.EmbedObject(EMBED_ATTACHMENT, "", stAttachment)
vaRecipient = Range("A3")

You will need to pass in the path where the PDF is saved.
What code do you have that creates the PDF? What filename is given to the file in that piece of the code? You need to define that PDF file path as a variable and pass it to the SendEmail sub you showed us.Andrew Lockton, Chrysalis Design, Melbourne Australia

Assuming the PDF has already been created and has the same name as the workbook (except for the extension), you should be able to use:
stAttachment = Split(ActiveWorkbook.FullName, ".")(0) & ".pdf"
Note that this won't work if there are periods in the filename (not a good practice, anyway)Cheers,

If you want --debug to imply --cassert, OK with me, but I will get upset if you rearrange things in such a way that I can't have -O and -g and --cassert. In other words --cassert should not imply turning off -O. Currently, I believe -Wall is turned on automatically if your compiler is gcc --- at least it seems to work that way on my platform (maybe it's in the hpux_gcc template?). Anyway I get a pretty good set of -W options without doing anything special. It is real obvious that some other developers do not run with the same options :-(, so I'd certainly be glad to see more -W options turned on whenever the compiler is gcc, --debug or no. regards, tom lane

We are a small hobby cattery located in RI.
I had always wanted a Ragdoll and a few years back had the opportunity to adopt a Ragdoll mix named Pepper. (his story below) I guess you can say he was the start of my love affair with the breed! After Pepper passed I aquired my first full breed Ragdoll, "Clancy". Showed him and loved the experience. Then there was "Alex" my foundation male. I fell in love with this boy when he was 5 weeks old! And here I am breeding Ragdolls! We strive to produce quality Ragdolls. Health and happiness being most important.Therefore we will remain a small cattery believing in quality not quantity.
I am sharing this story because I believe it can tell you bit about who I am. And, I believe Pepper came into my life for a reason, perhaps leading me here!
I love all my pets past and present. But there is always that one , that special one, the one that grabs your heart. And this is his story:
I will always love you Pepper,
Missing your hugs!!

The contest to select the "greatest Jewish boxer of all time" has just drawn to a close. Many readers of this corner submitted their letters in order to win the first prize of two ringside seats for the coming Barney Ross-Jimmy McLarnin scrap on September 6th at the Madison Square Garden Bowl.
Announcement of winners will be made by the judges next Wednesday in the "Slants on Sports" column. The best letter will receive the aforementioned prize and the writers of the seven next best letters will be awarded ringside tickets to the boxing and wrestling arenas about town, including the Bronx Coliseum, the Fort Hamilton Boxing Club, and the Coney Island Velodrome.
Benny Leonard, Maxie Baer, Barney Ross and David Mendoza, were some of the fighters up among the top. However, Sid Terris, Ruby Goldstein, and Battling Levinsky succeeded in getting their share of acclaim and recognition. Watch for the winner next Wednesday.
The Women's National Lawn Tennis Championships of the United States will be held in the next three weeks, August 13 to 18, at Forest Hills, L. I. Miss Milicent Hirsch is the most prominent Jewish racquet wielder entered on the lists. However, a letter received from our correspondent in England tells us that Miss Phyllis Barnett of Bargood, Wales, may be entered in the coming tennis matches at the West Side Tennis matches at the West Side Tennis Club on Long Island.
Miss Barnett has a fine record to her credit in lawn tennis. She is eighteen years of age, and head girl and school captain of the Bargood Secondary School. In 1931-1932 she won the "under sixteen" Junior Championship of Wales, and in 1933-1934 the "under eighteen" Junior Championship. With her partner she was mixed doubles champion in 1933-34 and also junior champion of Carmathern County. This year she was Victrix Ludorum of the Bargood Secondary School, with twenty points out of a possible twenty-four. Miss Barnett is the first Jewish girl champion of Wales.
At the beginning of the season two rookies on the New York Yankees kept the wires burning with stories of their flash, their form and their playing ability. They were Heffner and Rolfe. But their flash was only in the pan and flickered out ere long.
However, out in Detroit along the Tiger front a youngster of twenty-one who had played pretty good ball the year before was holding down the first sack position again. Since the season began he has been coming along like four houses all afire at once. We have written much on this lad and yet, in looking at his record for the last three weeks, all we can do is marvel. Greenberg of the Bronx dishes out singles and doubles, and doubles and triples, and it's his spirit that has the Tigers on top.
Now as all we baseball fans know there has been a Lou Gehrig day and a Lefty O'Doul day and a Chaim Yankel day, but to make a gala occasion for a Jewish rookie who is proving his worth is something unique. The idea rests entirely with the fans of this city. The Tiger will be in New York to open a series with the Ruppert Rifles some time in August. Why not a Hank Greenberg day, folks?
Of late the stories about the horse Yoshe Kalb have been increasing. In fact various newspapers have printed stories about a Hambletonian Stake trotter named Yoshe Kalb which is claimed to be an entrant of the Bee Bee Stables, owned by Isadore Beiber. There is not and never was a horse by that name, but the boys who are giving out the interviews are getting a big laugh and some publicity out of the matter, since the play "Yoshe Kalb" will appear in book form soon.
Now that the news about New York State collecting 129,000 berries on race taxes at the many tracks in the State is in circulation, the bookies are introducing a new sport which will not entail any bill to the boss after the thing is over. This is worth while for those who like to speculate but feel that the hossies are poison at Empire City. Consider what the Jews and the Arabs do in Palestine. They get a lot of fun out of placing two scorpions in a saucer and then betting on the winner of the inevitable fight.
People will never forget the terrific lacing Ernie Schaff took at the hands of the present heavyweight champion, Max Baer . . . Sidney Sherman of Toledo, Ohio, bowled a 300 game on February 21, 1921, alternating with the left and the right hands.
Eddie Kramer, ace southpaw of the Temple University baseball team for three seasons, who recently joined the Washington Senators, registered 112 strikeouts in 121 innings on the hill. Kramer saw action in 15 of the Owls' 23 contests.
Georgetown was the easiest for Kramer, thirty hilltopper batsmen whiffing in a pair of games against Temple. The Owl Flinger fanned fifteen in each game. His next start against Indiana saw him fanning fourteen. Big League timber, says we.
Coney Island Velodrome—Tonight
Tonight at the Velodrome the old rassling racket holds sway once more. Gino Garibaldi, the pride of sunny Italy, will try to dish out his famous garlic special to Sandor Szabo, the Hunk from Cheesania, in the feature attraction to a finish. Hans Steinke meets the old maestro, Dick Shikat. Everett Marshall takes on Henry Piers, the old plowman, and Eli Fischer, the lad from the Raritan and the Brooklyn regions meets Bert Rubi.

The course zigzags through a neighborhood.
Much like a regular golf course, it's surrounded by trees, homes, even driveways. Brooksville resident Tom Bussell designed this nine-hole disc golf course and the neighborhood kids play it.
A lot and for free.
"Kids were apprehensive about the whole thing from the start," Bussell said. "I just started playing and once they saw me, they came in droves to my front door wanting to play. The doorbell rings all day long here. 'Hey, can I play? Hey, I want to play.' All day long, kids come out and just throw it back and forth. They've been playing all summer long."
The course starts at Bussell's home on Candlelight Boulevard in Brooksville, just a stone's throw away from the Quarry Golf Course, which also has a disc golf course. Bussell's course crisscrosses the road, and instead of the traditional bucket-shaped holes with metal chains, there are tiny white flags for pins. He even offers a hand-drawn map for newcomers, though most can tweak and tune the course to play differently each time.
Bussell used to be an avid golfer, but had to retire from the regular links after breaking his shoulder on a hiking trip in Yellowstone National Park, so he started playing disc golf at the Quarry. After checking out all the equipment at Sun King Disc Sports, he couldn't get enough.
"I grew up with a golf club in my hand — I love the game, but I just can't swing through," Bussell said. "I spent hours at (Sun King) and just got into what they had and now I love this game."
Kids about 7 to 12 years old, including Bussell's son, Hunter, can be seen running up and down the street, chasing multicolored discs. They heave and hurl and hope to top the other's score.
"Basically that's one of the key features to disc golf: Anyone can play," said Michael Barnett, owner of Sun King, who also leads disc golf leagues and play at the Quarry. "There is always a massive array of age brackets, and from the recreational side, you can go out and all you have to do is be able to (throw) a Frisbee. Once in a while, a player gets some hope by making one in the hole.
"Not to mention, it's super economical," Barnett added. "It's very cheap for anyone to play — that is, compared to regular golf."
One of the main reasons Bussell created a makeshift course in his front yard was economics. He figured kids can't always pay a greens fee.
"(Disc golf) is pretty good because you can play all the time," Hunter said, a disc cradled in his hands. "It is a lot of fun to just go out and throw it because, win or lose, it is always a lot of fun throwing and chasing down your disc."
"Parents aren't always willing or able to pay the money for the kids to play (at the Quarry) every day," Bussell added. "They can even make up their own rules to make the game more challenging."
Barnett sees people get hooked on disc golf quickly, just as Bussell did. And he thought Bussell's initiative was ingenious, especially for a sport not that well-known.
"Anyone from 8 to 80 can play," Bussell said. "That's why they love it. Are some better than others? Sure, but everyone can throw it some way or another and they eventually get better."

TORONTO — We're closing in on two weeks since I reported that Ron Artest is dealing with painful plantar fasciitis in his right foot. On Saturday, Artest disclosed on his Twitter account that he now has plantar fascia problems on both feet.
Artest has been steadfast with reporters in preferring not to acknowledge or discuss his physical problems. He also played Friday night in New York with his sprained right index finger taped –plus two fingers on his left hand buddy-taped together.
But on Twitter, Artest said: "I've been playing with plantar on both feet. And after the concussion.12day (layoff). It's only been two weeks. It will come back around."
Actually, Phil Jackson thought it came around for Artest on Friday night in New York, even though Artest had some of his usual pointless forays in the triangle offense. Artest was 3 for 3 on 3-pointers, scoring 11 points and having a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Artest actually has 12 assists to one turnover in his past four games; before that, he had two assists to seven turnovers in the previous three games.
Jackson praised Artest's defense after the game, even though the coach sat him for the fourth quarter in favor of Shannon Brown. By the fourth quarter, Artest's feet often get sore from the pounding on the floor.

We Are Not Bothered — PDP
By Gbenga Olarinoye
Anxiety over the political direction of erstwhile governor of the state, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola was at feverish pitch Monday with claims that he would be defecting to the All Progressives Congress, APC from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP on Tuesday.
Oyinlola it was learnt is expected to defect at the scheduled mega rally of the APC in Osogbo tomorrow.
Contacted on the development , Oyinlola told Vanguard over the telephone "you will get the action tomorrow (Tuesday)." Pressed further, he said: "You will get the action tomorrow. I can confirm to you that it is true".
The PDP in the state was, however, dismissive of the development describing it as inconsequential.
The state Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Bola Ajao said "the PDP will win the governorship election in the state whether Oyinlola leaves the party or he remains there," adding "we are not bothered with the defection of Oyinlola."
Oyinlola was said to have met with the leadership of the APC and his expected to defect to the party alongside his supporters in all the 30 Local Government Areas of the state.
The former governor was conspicuously absent at the campaign rally of the PDP where President Goodluck Jonathan and other national leaders of the party including the party's National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu addressed the gathering.
Oyinlola was seen in Osogbo yesterday in a motorcade after he had reportedly met with some of his loyalists and some APC leaders in the state.
Oyinlola was Governor of Osun state from 2003 to November, 2010 when Governor Rauf Aregbesola took over from him following a judgment of the Court of Appeal which nullified Oyinlola's re-election in 2007.
He later contested for the post of the PDP National Secretary and won but was later suspended and replaced by Professor Wale Oladipo who is also an indigene of the state.

Utah A.G. John Swallow resigns, citing toll on family, finances
mark Salt Lake City, UTNov. 22, 2013 6:40 p.m.
"They had all the resources of the state at their disposal, and they knew I only had the resources of my personal family budget," he said."
Swallow doesn't understand the irony of an AG saying this? Really? Classic. What goes around comes around, I guess.
I can't believe people are defending this guy (actually I guess I can in this state, after all, he has an (R) after his name, and an M, right?) have they not listened to the tapes? Read the transcripts? They might want to, it's not pretty.
About time this guy stepped down.

Not in today's world. His recognition that he doesn't have enough money to launch a legal fight, doesn't mean he couldn't have won the legal fight if he had had enough money.
Innovate Spanish Fork, UTNov. 22, 2013 12:44 p.m.
The federal investigation showed nothing and now I am asking myself about the competence of our state legislators in pushing Swallow from office. I wonder what other stories are behind the story that nobody is telling us. What is the state legislature hiding? As a delegate, I anticipate some changes to the legislature at least in my district.
4601 Salt Lake City, UTNov. 22, 2013 12:30 p.m.
If there are illegal actions that result in criminal charges against soon to be ex-AG Swallow, let the legal system proceed. For the rest of us, let the governor appoint another AG and get on with the business of governing Utah. The AG is the governor's legal council so allow him to chose whomever he wants. Another election is expensive and unnecessary.

Brer Rabbit you nailed it. Lockhart,Valentine, Reyes three peas in a pod.See no evil, hear no evil,speak no evil and we get the whole shebang.
Brer Rabbit Spanish Fork, UTNov. 22, 2013 10:39 a.m.
All we have heard is allegations. In my opinion if Becky Lockhart and other House members were worried about corruption they should have looked into the dealings of Mark Shurtleff years ago, but now he is beyond their reach. The U.S. Attorney found no problem with Swallow.
This all looks political. Sen Valentine wants to be A.G. making it look even more political, since he and Speaker Lockhart are so tight politically. Then there is Rep Cox who was recently appointed Lt Gov. Was this his political reward for being the primary pusher of the Swallow issue? They didn't dare do it to Shurtleff, but after Valentine failed to get the Republican nomination why not push Swallow out?
Then again they may have been disappointed that Sean Reyes wasn't nominated. Watch for his name to also appear as a candidate, but my money is on Valentine with Lockhart's support. Since when did the legislature start pushing out corrupt legislative or state officers for "ethical" violations? Not for a long time, making this look political.
Irony Guy Bountiful, UtahNov. 22, 2013 10:29 a.m.
I'm not going to pile on John Swallow. He's made an appropriate choice. However, if the law allows the same Republican cronyism to choose the next Attorney General, then the law needs to be changed--just like a baby, and for the same reason. Can we at least have a reputable person in the job, Gov. Herbert?
brightness Taylorsville, UTNov. 22, 2013 9:39 a.m.
He should submit his resignation right now and not prolong our suffering any longer. The state needs to move forward and start healing the damage and injury and restore the public trust and confidence. We are all dispensable and it is correct for him to resign and save the integrity of our judicial system.
airnaut Everett, 00Nov. 22, 2013 9:31 a.m.
OK, now I get it --
John Swallow only "resigns" once he runs of HIS money,
Giving No thought about what this has cost US the tax-payer's money.

BYUfootballrocks,your post clarified how gullible people rush to judgment when they simply don't have the facts, thankyou. 50 stories on Swallows wrongs is an overkill that would down even the best office holder.Swallow was a regular person who truly wanted to serve, he was not perfect but the hearsay, innuendo, allegations had such a crescendo that no one could hear anything but what the media constantly printed.
ulvegaard Medical Lake, WashingtonNov. 22, 2013 9:28 a.m.
I don't live in Utah, but have many relatives who do. I really can't speak either way about innocence or guilt here, though I have an aunt who is convinced of his guilt.
What concerns me is that such things should ever take place. I mean, what happened to the days when our biggest argument against an elected official was that we simply didn't like they way the parted their hair, or the type of car the drove. That allegations of this type should be made in the first place only demonstrates further how corrupt our government has become.
I believe firmly that our type of government is a pretty good one (not perfect), but probably the best around. Somehow we need to revisit qualities and qualifications for government officials that contribute to the well being of our society -- and soon.

If this man had been within the performance of his duties he would have some protection with the State's attorney general's office. However, the accusations indicate he was outside of his duties as the Chief Deputy and as the AG. Mark Shurtleff had his man, John Swallow do his dirty work and so he appears to not be impacted by these actions prior to Mark Shurtleff leaving office in January 2013. They are both attorneys that are supposed to uphold the law not work around it. With a President and Senate leaders working around the system, at least these two Attorney Generals can say that they just did what others have done and feel some satisfaction if not joy. Mr. Swallow says it has taken a toll on his family. It has taken a toll on the State of Utah to have multiple investigations and charges against a Chief Deputy and then Attorney General due to His supposed actions validated by documentation and/or recordings. Even if he ends up a free man, he treads on thin ice and is now walking alone. A public figure needs to avoid the appearance of evil and in politics in Illinos, jail
Doug10 Roosevelt, UTNov. 22, 2013 7:57 a.m.
Mr. Swallow as your ship sinks you proclaim your innocence. You wipe your electronic data in order to stop or stall the investigation and still yet maintain your innocence. Your behavior is not in line with your words.
Seems to me you are sad that you have to play by the rules and are more sad that you got caught.
As you claim you are 100% not guilty it shows me you are not the right type of person for this office
Uncle Rico Sandy, UTNov. 22, 2013 7:24 a.m.
Headline should have read. "John Swallow resigning in order to avoid criminal charges"
UtahBlueDevil Durham, NCNov. 22, 2013 7:14 a.m.
I have no opinion on if Swallow lied or not.... not my job.... and I don't have enough information. But the irony of some who call for a "wait for judgement" - in other cases themselves rush to judgement with no more facts than we have here... sometimes is hard to understand.
Wouldn't it be nice if such things weren't so driven by partisan politics. I do applaud the republicans here cleaning up their own camp.... that is how it should be. Right is right, wrong is wrong - regardless of political affiliation.
As we have all seen.... these issues broadly crosses the political spectrum.
Iron Rod Salt Lake City, UTNov. 22, 2013 6:05 a.m.
Perhaps it would be wise to wait until the report comes out and see what charges have merit and which do not.
Let's make this an educational experience and see if anything can be learned from it.
Also just because he resigned does not mean the House Committee report, Salt Lake County District Attorney report and the Davis County's District Attorney report should stop.
They should be completed and made public.
Let's throw some light on this process and see if any thing is wrong and what can we learn from it in the future
Commodore West Jordan, UTNov. 22, 2013 5:06 a.m.
I think Mr. Swallow didn't have a leg to stand on when he was caught asking on tape, "Do they know about the houseboat?. Is there any paper trail on that?" In my mind I ask myself, " Why would anyone worry about that unless it was illegal or severely inappropriate?" Either way you slice it or dice it, Swallow hanged himself and those words truly started it.
Now let's hope someone with a clean record becomes our new AG; Public office requires the trust of the public.

This is an admission of wrongdoing. If this were me and I were innocent, I would run down my fiances to the last cent to fight this.
The people of Utah chose two massively better and non-baggage candidates but still chose this crooked guy. Utah, stop automatically voting for the person with the R by the name.
DN Subscriber Cottonwood Heights, UTNov. 21, 2013 10:15 p.m.
The lynch mob won.
An individual, no matter how innocent, cannot hold out forever against multiple investigations, mostly politically motivated, by government entities with limitless tax dollars to keep the meter running on defense attorneys until the accused simply runs out of money for lawyers.
This is a sad day, and NOT a victory for truth or justice, but rather proof that the massive force of government can take down any individual for whatever reason. And that people with questionable motives can induce government entities to do their bidding.
russhoops OGDEN, UTNov. 21, 2013 10:02 p.m.
So if John Swallow steps down from the position of Attorney General, why doesn't the person that he was running against in the last election automatically get that position. He ran against Dee Smith. It seems that it would save the taxpayers and the Republican Party time and money if they simply approved Dee Smith as the new Attorney General.
1Observer Cottonwood Heights, UTNov. 21, 2013 9:51 p.m.
I am not going to kick at a man when he is down. We still subscribe to innocent until proven guilty in this country. What I will say is that Utah voters need to pay more attention to who they elect. They need to look deeper than party and religious labels. Many of these allegations swirled around Shurtleff and Swallow long before he was elected and people, for whatever reason, failed to consider the allegations or spend any time digging deeper. This is not a critique on any particular group or faith, because this happens all over the country with people of all polticial and religious persuasions. Voters are lazy and only take in what slick marketing campaigns feed them - hence Swallow, Obama and a host of other politicians of dubious character are now filling high offices.
McMurphy St George, UtahNov. 21, 2013 8:59 p.m.
just curious -- what exactly are / were the politics in the House that caused them to unjustly persecute Swallow -- a fellow Republican, Mormon and member of the good old boys club ??
Homer1 MIDVALE, UTNov. 21, 2013 8:39 p.m.
Swallow is not a "good" honest man. What is wrong with people? He was a well-known political deal-maker way before his AG campaign, going back to two failed congressional campaigns. Everyone knew about him and would roll their eyes. But, for some reason, our Republican establishment overlooked several decent and capable candidates who showed their commitment to public service. Swallow's commitment was always for his own interests--I mean money. He saw public office as the ticket to more deals and more money. This pursuit of money and then political power as the means to get more money is the complete opposite of a "good, honest" man.
NeilT Clearfield, UTNov. 21, 2013 8:26 p.m.
Simple solution. Amend the state constitution. The Governor appoints the AG. The AG and the governor would be from the same party. Just like at the federal level. The AG is a law enforcement position. It should not be an elected office. Just a thought.
DraperUteFan Draper, UTNov. 21, 2013 8:25 p.m.
@ Shame on You,
You "infer" and assume the media has lied and Swallow has always been truthful. This isn't about "false accusers" but about what is already part of the public record.
Simple question, did the news media make up the audio tape where Swallow questions his own ethics by having the meeting with a shady business man? Did the media make up lies and accusations about campaign law violations that led to Swallow voluntarily step down before a criminal investigation ensued and a possible invalidation of the election results? Did the media lie about reports that a considerable number of electronic records were inexplicably expunged from Mr. Swallow's every device? Were there lies and misrepresentations about income that was funneled through Mr. Swallow's wife's name instead of his own as "consulting income" that was not reported?
Bottom line, AG is a position of ethics as much as anything. Every person who has fully followed this story and attorneys I know who have personal dealings or knowledge of Mr. Swallow's past and tactics, will tell you the state of Utah deserves a better AG. I wonder how much you really kept up with it all.

"DeseretHiker wrote: " ... while trying to avoid actually breaking the law, (Swallow) has carefully tiptoed along the bare edges of illegal and unethical conduct."
So now, lets consider how the political fundraising game is being played by many of our elected officials and politicians who carefully tiptoe along the bare edges of illegal and unethical conduct. Like Swallow, here's an example of how the fundraising / influence game is played.
1) Political candidate or elected official organizes a campaign committee.
2) Campaign committee organizes a fundraising dinner, -- with tables going for $50K, $25K, $10K, $5K, etc.
3) Campaign committee makes a list of all people and businesses the candidate knows who are doing business with the various governmental agencies.
4) Campaign committee calls up potential donors on their list and asks if they would like to sponsor a table, -- i.e., make a "campaign contribution" of $50,000, $25,000, $10,000, $5,000, etc.
So, whats an individual or businessman suppose to say when approached for money? -- "No thanks, I'm not hungry!" ?? To me, this type of fund raising is political extortion that, like Swallow, is tiptoeing along the edges of illegal and unethical. And it's happening all the time!
NeilT Clearfield, UTNov. 21, 2013 7:54 p.m.
General Tarbet, Former Commander of the Utah Army National Guard should be the next AG. He is an attorney and has an outstanding record of public service and integrity.

Shame on you....
For coming on these boards and ripping apart a man's character. Every single critical writer on this thread did not even have the courage to cite a single, verifiable fact against John Swallow, his actions or character.
The apostle Paul prophesied that in our day men would be "false accusers."
Look at how eager and willing so many are here in Utah to believe the inferences and lies the media is feeding them and especially that if there is an "allegation" it must be true.
John Swallow did himself beautifully in that press conference today, standing up against the lies and accusations that have been leveled against him with truth, candor, sincerity, and facts. He has the heart of an honest man and that was evident. Here is the essence of leadership, and a very capable leader at that.
John Swallow, you have my 100% support. God bless you and your family.
DraperUteFan Draper, UTNov. 21, 2013 7:23 p.m.
@ New to Utah
Swallow was not going to step down and told us he would be exonerated. Why step down now? Because the latest news showed records were missing and criminal misdemeanors were inevitable. Vicious witch hunt? The guy was the top lawmaker in the state and there was smoke coming from every direction. Evil or the appearance of evil...ultimately he used bad judgment and lost the public trust. Herbert seemed glad to be rid of him. Other Republicans wanted to distance themselves from him.
There were too many smoking guns. Whether criminal or not, only time will tell, but his paranoid belief that he was being deliberately ousted makes no sense. He was a Republican in a state that doesn't like change, confrontation, or Democrats (in no particular order).
If you are going to be AG, there better not be a hint of wrongdoing or illegal activity. It is a legal position, not a political one. Reyes tried to convince everyone of that in the Republican primary, but incumbency from Shurtleff and a boatload of money spent to win the election got Swallow elected.
A change needed to be made to restore the public trust.

I believe that John Swallow is innocent. I have actually helped in campaigns for statewide office and understand how mindboogling the paperwork and disclosures are. Utah's media engaged in a viscious witch hunt with unfounded allegations and hearsay trumping sound journalism and thoughtful reflection to oust a decent public servant. John Swallow was not perfect but 50 stories and constant rumblings of wrong doing on a sustained basis is big time over reach.The result is going to be fewer qualified leaders running for elective office. Why mess up ones life if there is a gotcha mentality for those brave enough to throw their hat in the ring?

It will interesting if others show up among the accused. I really don't think they will ever be named. Maybe in a few years Swallow can write a book.

Left Wing advocacy group (likely with money from Billionaire George Soros) Alliance for a Better Utah went on a fishing expedition to undue an election because the winner was a conservative, John Swallow. Take a look at the website of Alliance for a Better Utah and see if it reflects the values of the majority of the people of Utah.John Swallow was dead in the water once the legislature refused any money to defend the office and the state of Utah had millions. These left wing advocacy groups are nothing more than liberal Democrats using subtle means to destroy as many conservatives as possible. The Utah House should be on notice that these groups will not stop with the resignation of John Swallow.

The neck and the head are connected with Mark Shurtleff and John Swallow. They have both been elected AGs and politically motivated to push elections to the limit with "legality" and sort of Integrity. When you see the billboards all around the freeways from a car dealer that emphasizes integrity and honesty, John Swallow probably gets sick of those innuendos for his dealings.
The process goes to the time when he beat Sean Reyes and not just the general election. Give me some donuts while we talk about double dealing with the public, voters, and the Attorney General's office.

the real question is would his office have offered a sweet plea bargain deal like this one to somebody else in a similar situation? I think not. The best they would've done is reduce some of the charges for a plea bargain. He should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law just like everyone else. This whole thing has cost us, the taxpayers, millions of dollars. By the way, it really doesn't matter what party he is from, dishonesty cannot be attributed to any single party. It is a despicable trait that everyone suffers from, it's just a question of degree.
BYUalum South Jordan, UTNov. 21, 2013 4:35 p.m.
This whole thing is nuts! John Swallow is a good man; he was the victim of a witch hunt by career politicians and the news media who sensationalized this whole thing. Jeremy Johnson (who is in prison) is the one who thought he could "nail" Swallow as the scapegoat for his numerous misdeeds. Lots of people fell for it.
I wonder if in all the comments above there is anyone who has been falsely accused of anything in your lifetime, and you had a hard time clearing your own name and reputation. I think John Swallow is a good man and is innocent of any wrong doing. I wish him and his family the best in trying to piece together their lives.
In the meantime there are slick politicians at the top of the heap and a biased media who are really destroying our country. Heaven help us! May we wake up and save our country

I feel bad for him as a man and for his family. But, I do think he at minimum violated appropriate ethical standards and should have resigned. I guess the question I now have is why? Was the culture of the AG's office sketchy to where he thought it was OK? Was his predecessor similarly culpable? I just don't think he operated in a vacuum.
byufootballrocks Herndon, VANov. 21, 2013 3:27 p.m.
This was a classic "crafted by the media" scandal and it's a sad day, and the Deseret News was complicit in the matter.
Just because someone is "suspected" of something by the media not mean it's true. But the media can repeat an "allegation" over and over, day after day, because it's then a "story" (even though they made it a story, protestations to the contrary aside), and whether it's true or not then becomes a footnote.
Then, when because of politics or public pressure, an "investigation" is conducted, well, the purpose of an investigation these days to get an accusation confirmed, or find some other supposed "dirt" on a person, to justify the "investigation."
In the process, a lot of people get hurt. The Deseret News treated John Swallow very poorly. Because of its effect on people's lives, it's an awesome and terrible responsibility to run a journalism enterprise, and the negative power of such needs to be a constant consideration by the management of a newspaper or media company.
regis Salt Lake City, UTNov. 21, 2013 3:26 p.m.
This is a good day for the State of Utah only insofar as it is better than the alternative, i.e., Swallow remaining in office. No matter your political affiliation, no one should be crowing or reveling in this development. The whole affair has been traumatic for the state and for the integrity of the Attorney General's office.
Swallow was clearly "ethically challenged" and needed to go. But I fear the way this has played out could portend the beginning of "gotcha" politics in this state, with rival parties looking at every possible misstep of a candidate or elected official in an effort to bring him or her down.
toosmartforyou Farmington, UTNov. 21, 2013 3:20 p.m.
So now KSL radio is reporting that he didn't cut a deal, at least that's what he indicated in his resignation speech, so we are left to wonder if there was a deal of it there wasn't a deal.
See how speculating and using unnamed sources can get you in trouble regarding being accurate in news stories? Many people won't care---just that he's gone---but surely it is important to know if there was a deal cut or not. If there wasn't a deal, why would your source say their was? Poof---there goes their credibility. If there was a deal, why wouldn't he admit it?
You can't have it both ways----either there was or wasn't and the public, quite frankly, deserves to know the truth. I expect the Deseret News to be a little more forthcoming with news of this magnitude and not hide behind unnamed, speculative sources for this story, even though it may result in not being the first to break the story. Accuracy in news reporting is a premium these days, as observed.

Deserthiker SALT LAKE CITY, UTNov. 21, 2013 2:50 p.m.
I couldn't be more disappointed in Swallow's conduct. Reading all the reports about his actions, a clear picture emerges of a man who, while trying to avoid actually breaking the law, has carefully tiptoed along the bare edges of illegal and unethical conduct. Had his motive truly been to serve the people he would have long since resigned to save the State the tax dollars wasted on his investigation and to restore credibility to the AG office. Only now, caught by his own actions in destroying electronic records to obstruct the investigation, (what was he hiding?) and incriminated by evidence uncovered in the State's investigation sufficient to file criminal charges, does he leverage the threat of further embarrassment for the State, and political compromise for his party to selfishly duck criminal accountability (which any private citizen would have to answer for) and skulk off the public stage. My trust in Swallow to uphold the law with integrity and to serve the people of Utah with honor, the basis of my vote for him last November, was clearly misplaced. Utah deserved better.

@ Open Minded Mormon:
You really don't sound so open minded when you list only Republicans who possibly should've resigned. There is also a growing list of Democrats that you conviently forgot to mention, starting with the biggies...

Barack Obama... not enough room to list all the ongoing reasons of incompetence, lying and Constitutional law breaking.
Eric Holder... lying under oath (Fast and Furious, etc.)
Numerous democrat congressmen (past and present) for a host of deceiptful reasona. At a minimum.
If Swallow would've resigned when the handwriting on the wall was first evident and so many people were encouraging him to, think of all the good the $1,5000,000 already spent on this special investigation could've done for much better purposes, especially involving poor people.

Resignation to avoid prosecution does not constitute an admission of guilt. It's cheaper and easier than defending against charges, innocent or guilty.
Not good for a political future - an acquittal makes for a better resume than a plea bargain. But there is a future in the private sector for an attorney who knows when to cut a deal and walk away.

Oh well... one less character flawed politician for the DMN and the Trib to write about. What are they going to write about now? There are plenty like him around.
This usually turns into a tit-for-tat "you took down one of ours we'll take down one of yours" things. So expect the next one to be a Democrat. Both papers will have lots of room to fill.
I thought he would be gone in the next election... but it sounds from the article like he eventually saw the writing on the wall and did the right thing by leaving office.
I've always thought he was a weasel (even before these recent revelations). I just thought he deserved the same due process we all deserve (so I disagreed with the people calling for impeachment, prison time for misdemeanor offenses, etc). I have no problem with him stepping down. I have a problem with people who think political rivalries give them the right to throw people in jail who have done nothing warranting jail time, mainly because they hate anybody from the other party.

Deal cutting is an economic decision, not one born of justice.

Now, his resignation will be seen as bowing to political pressure and an attempt to head off potential prosecution, a much less noble reason to quit. But then, he has shown no class up to now, so no one should be surprised when he cites some bogus reason for stepping down, rather than confess that he broke the law and does not deserve to be the top law enforcement officer of the state.
Mike in Sandy Sandy, UTNov. 21, 2013 10:38 a.m.
If, as rumored, he asks for a deal with no criminal prosecution, isn't that, in itself, an admission of criminal activity?
splitme2 West Jordan, UTNov. 21, 2013 10:38 a.m.
It's about time! I really hope he does resign and let the state move on.
BYR West Bountiful, UTNov. 21, 2013 10:22 a.m.
But he will claim he is innocent and blame somebody.

Feb 26, 2009
For a saloon, just found it while browsing ebay:
Maybe of use to someone.
Cheers James will keep my eye on that 1 lets hope i aint bidding against a few on here for it though!!
I can vouch for this guys, I picked up the front bumper tonight off him, sound bloke, brand new still in the wrapper complete with mesh, a genuine item, he payed top price from Audi as he couldnt wait another six months to find a second hand part. He has just brought himself a B6 with a VOTEX kit on so he don't need it now. Said I can have first refusal if people on here don't want to go through the bidding process and risk loosing it. I could buy it on said behalf and send it through my business' courier. Would need to work something out though.
Don't you want the rear bumper too then?
I ain't to keen on it too be fair, going to get me something else. A bit bulky, but thats just my opinion. If you want a full kit I might have one in a week or two, second hand mind. Front bumper with no mesh and in primer and in decent nick, back bumper is chipped along the leading edge what comes into contact with the bumper, fully repairable though.
Looking for £350, but to guys on the forum £300 exc P&P.
Let me know if there is any interest, will get some pics when I can.
Thats why Im getting rid of my Votex kit pretty soon.
I dont like it at all, Looks cheap IMO especially with the Stick on look. Cant get used to the overlap.
I never realised the kits go for so much!
I agree, the stick on look is not a good thing, and talk about a overlap, if my body man can't get my front to sit flush then I don't wana know. Here's hoping.
The kits seem to fetch silly money, thats if you can find one, so I think that sort of price seems fair, they are quite expensive from Audi if they can even get you one.
The thing that really put me off is that they are made by the Austrian firm MS Designs on sub contract to Audi, now this company makes the horrible euro tack that makes me shudder.
But again, this is my opinion and if you love it then thats all good. I just bloody brought two of the bloomin things. Now im not sure.
Thats why I went direct to Reiger in Germany for my Kit on my red one. The quality has to be spot on!!
For me at the moment, it would have to be the Oettinger front with ABT grill, and to be honest the Caractere and Sportec look pretty good too, just the cost to be honest, at least £600 per bumper really for any of the above.
Are you going to put your Rieger kit on the Kingfisher?
J7USS - your Rieger looks a lot "cleaner" that what I've found online:
These normally seem to have lots of extra little slots below the centre intake?
Or is there some Rieger / Reiger joke that I'm missing here?!?
Thats what Im looking to get, A otteinger front end, not sure of skirts and my littl experiment for the rear (which Im having probs with finding the bits).
That reiger kit is the phase 2 mate, mine was the phase 1.The phase 2 is far to busy for me...
hearing ya!
phase 1 all the way - looks pretty similar to S4 (which is v good in my book)....
Another ebay find here for a saloon:
"I have for sale a full GMBH/ S Line body kit for an Audi A4 B6 2001-2005.
It consits of front bumper lip with sports diamond grills, sideskirts and rear lip spoiler with exhaust cut out at either side also complete with grill's.
I also have available the boot lid spoiler, but would like to sell this with the lid itself."
Nothing to do with me by the way, I just noticed it.
Price may go high-ish since that includes boot lid too... and due to the weight and size, has to be collected.
Waiting for decent photo's to see what it actually includes: not sure if that includes side skirts.
Also spotted this SMK-Tuning Body Kit... or is that still going to look that chav even with OEM wheels? Hard to tell with those wheel on it....
I'd probably be looking to cover the rear with full grills anyway and then leave all the TDI pipes pointed at the ground - at least until after I've had it remapped and on a roling road to see if the ole oil-burner is kicking out any smoke.
Here's a link to the one on their site: SMK-Tuning Audi A4 B6 "RS4" kit
The Avant looks pretty decent - but after the saloon pics on their eBay shop, I was a little concerned... but the Avant look fairly OEM in an S4-ish kinda way... (don't worry - I know these are just aftermarket kits, but still interested in opinions).
Nothing Chav about it but the quality of material will make it look sh*t if it aint decent quality, take a look at some of the reigers on Audizine, now they look nasty, dont line up or owt!
IMO the Votex kit with the exhausts blanked off looks truly awful If it smokes you will have to clean it more!
I have just bought a tuning module for mine and am still planning a visible twin exhaust conversion
£191 and just under 24 hours to go! Anyone on here?
That's good money wish I had a couple of them forsale!!!
Another one HERE Buy it now at £230!
That guy has had a full kit for sale and another rear bumper for sale in the last few months. Assuming they sold.
Yeah his advert states he has no other parts for sale so I guess so.
Fetching good money I see, cant wait to sell mine now.
...then here was me thinking that asking £175 Buy it Now for the lot was a little steep.Didnt realise such a tacky kit would fetch so much!
Will saloon votex sideskirts fit an avant
Another one HERE
a4-2.4 I think the sides all match - they don't normally advertise separate sideskirts for a saloon / avant.
the rear's definitely don't match
Thanks lostbok, will b7 votex sideskirts fit an b6?? I have the rear just looking for the front votex
Yes they fit!!
Danb did you get the 3 mesh grill with your front votex
No fella, I'm having some right trouble locating the front mesh, I have been given some numbers to try and I will keep you posted.
here,s a reiger joke for ya lost
Thanks Jase - but can you find that in a catalogue anywhere?
Know anybody who will supply those and preferably a decent palce to paint and fit them too?
The "joke" I was refering to was that there seemed to be a couple of ways of spelling it and everytime I was looking for one I found some pretty over-blinged kit
Just after a S-Line or similar look that's gonna cost <£2000....
only joking lost i got my bumper for £280 inc the front splitter. the one juss has you can still buy from rieger for a similar price
fit it yourself its easy the front s-line bumper is a bolt on job and when i fitted the DTM b7 skirts to my b6 it was a case of factory screws/clips and a bit of sicaflex on the rear wings
guys, anyone know if these will fit an S4 saloon (B6)
Yes they'll Fit.
Jase has them on his and look ok - look a few posts above (black avant)
thats them they are actually the skirts that were fitted to the limited edition DTM model b7 quite easy to fit about 20 minute job
excellent - have purchased them £100 - Did I get ripped off ?!
I will introduce myself properly once I've picked up my new S4 tonight, but im hopeful this forum will be a great source of help and you two gentlemen have given me great hope so far !
So, once I've got them painted, in terms of putting them on. It is pure DIY ? It is just a couple of screws or does it need any adhesive ?
Basically what im asking is can a novice (aka an Idiot = me) do it ?
Thanks guys
Im sure you'll have no probs putting them on unless you have 2 eyes facing the wrong way,lol...
Jase will advise you more on the detailed fitting!
Id say you got them for a good price...
soooo if you are putting them on the S4, you need to take the Door blades off and sell them to me..
You'll find plenty of Help & advice on here mate, Ive saved myself tons of Labour rates by the advice Ive had off here, believe me.:thumbsup:
Separate names with a comma.

text: Hi all, I have a question about the bluroff command on my Atrix. I've had the phone for a while and when I first got it, the first thing I found was how to remove the Motorola Blur prompt at boot. I then rooted my phone, found a few things to add and was fine with it. I used it for a while then my company got iPhones. I've never been a big fan of the iPhone (4s is mine). It works but is just too restrictive. Anyways, I swapped back to my Atrix 4g and decided to play with it some more. I unlocked the bootloader but after doing that, it reset to factory so now I get the blur prompt. Thing is, the command that removed it before is now not working after the unlock. Not being an expert, is it not working due to it being unlocked now or could something else be causing this? Also, just wondering what is the highest level android level that this phone can use? I'm on 2.3.4. (not considering any custom ROMs) Thanks

History Mystery of the Week: Who are these guys?
Hint: this picture was taken at Eldon's Standard in Perham in 1971.
'History Mystery' is a weekly feature of the Perham Focus. Working in partnership with the History Museum of East Otter Tail County, we will publish a 'mystery photo' each week, challenging you, our readers, to answer a question about it. If you have a personal story that relates to the photo, or have new details about its contents, we will work with the museum to have that additional information put on record.
Contact us at 346-5900 or email email@example.com.
Congratulations to Joan Guck, who was the first person to correctly guess that Ed Graff was the man pictured in last week's History Mystery photo.


text: The elevation of Lott is "Newt Gingrich winning another election," says TIME congressional correspondent Karen Tumulty, who sees presidential politics at play: Lott is a "stalking horse" for Texas Sen. Phil Gramm, who's expected to be a Dole rival for the 1996 GOP presidential nomination. "As long as he has to turn over the keys to Lott, it's going to be difficult for (Dole) to leave (D.C.) while he runs for president," she says. As for the Dems: "Dodd was definitely going to put a harder edge on their message." But the more moderate Daschle has a problem on another front: "He's going to have to prove to the Democrats that he's not up there as Bill Clinton's water boy," she says.Post your opinion on theWashingtonbulletin board.

When you're watching what you eat, focus on the foods that provide the most nutrition for the least calories. Just because you are eating less does not mean that you can't get all the nutrition and satisfaction you need from your diet. There are 10 foods you should incorporate into your menu to get the best results.
Using safflower, olive or canola oils in your cooking, especially in place of butter or margarine, helps add beneficial MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids) into your diet. MUFAs are a "good" fat that helps lower your risk of heart disease and stroke by reducing bad cholesterol levels.
Apples contain pectin, which was found in a 2007 University of Georgia study to fight prostate cancer. Other health benefits of pectin are its effect on colon cancer cells, and its ability to lower cholesterol and glucose levels. Both apples and pears are excellent sources of fiber, which help you to feel full longer.
Berries are rich in antioxidants and fiber. They also are highly portable and easy to portion control, making them an ideal snack and a healthy way to satisfy sweet cravings.
Besides containing MUFAs, avocados are a great source of potassium, lutein, B vitamins and vitamin E. Their creamy taste and texture make them a great substitute for mayonnaise on sandwiches, and for sour cream in Mexican food and dips. Pairing avocados with foods that are high in antioxidants, like tomatoes or carrots, boosts the body's ability to absorb the antioxidants.
For just 75 calories each, eggs provide high-quality protein and a wide variety of nutrients, including choline, which is essential to brain function. Their versatility makes them an option for any meal, such as a breakfast omelet, hard-boiled for a snack, or cut up in a lunch salad or a dinner frittata or low-fat quiche.
Besides offering a shot of flavor, the ingredient in peppers that gives them their heat, capsaicin, has been found to offer a mild boost to the metabolism.
Salmon is a terrific source of omega-3, an essential fatty acid our body needs but does not produce. It supports healthy brain function and reduces the risks of heart disease and stroke. Omega-3 has also been shown to be helpful in preventing risk factors for cancer and arthritis.
Peanuts have been shown to lower total cholesterol. Almonds help lower cholesterol, prevent heart disease, and contain B17, a nutrient being studied for its cancer-fighting properties. Walnuts improve artery function, particularly following a meal that's high in fat. Pumpkin seeds aid in prostate health and improving male bone density.
Besides chocolate satisfying a sweet tooth, dark chocolate is packed full of antioxidants and the chemical serotonin, a natural anti-depressant, as well as feel-good endorphins. It relaxes blood vessels and can help to lower blood pressure. Just remember to keep the portion size small (1 oz. or less).
The complex carbohydrates help to regulate blood sugar levels to prevent peaks and crashes, which help you to avoid crankiness and binge eating. It is also a great source of fiber.

"When they've got scientific evidence on their side, green campaigners spew hate speech about the evil science deniers on the other side. But the moment a scientific consensus attacks some cherished green myth (organic good, GMO bad, for example), they spew hate speech against scientists as corporate shills."
Yup. Ever try and argue with a greenie that banning DDT killed millions? They get ugly really quick.

John Wesley b. 1837 who married (1) Mary Ann Soard and (2) Mary Brown. Prior Lee, b. 1844 who married Katherine Meyers, 15 Dec 1867. Gareth and Lucinda are names seen for some of the older children but without any additional data - also a Jasper Lee b. 1846, but he must have died as an infant as he doesn't appear with the family in 1850.
Probably not a son of Isaac but who is he?
In 1860, there was still an unidentified Samuel McBee in Claiborne Co. He was by then age 37. Wife was given as Arminta, age 29; Prior L. age 11, was in the household. Robert L. or S. was age 8, Margaret A. 4, and Julia M. age 2. They were next door to Isaac in this census.
Isaac MCBEE and Sarah Elizabeth GRUBB were married on 1 October 1820.36 Sarah Elizabeth GRUBB was born in 1804 in Virginia.
Sarah Elizabeth was the daughter of John Grubb, b. 1769, Augusta Co VA, died 1 Feb 1843, Claiborne Co TN. John married Mary "Polly" Shelley, 20 Oct 1791, Washington Co, VA. Sarah was the 2nd of 10 known children. John Grubb's father was Abraham Grubb, born 1735, German, died about 1814 Sullivan Co, TN. Abraham's father, Christian Grubb, immigrated as Christian Kropf, coming from Rotterdam on the ship "Allen", arriving 11 sep 1729. The family lived first in Pennsylvania where son Abraham is listed as a member of the Coventry Brethren Church. Abraham received by will Christian's land on Sinking Creek, Holston River, in what is now Tennessee. Like the McBee family, they were in the disputed area of Virginia & North Carolina in what was briefly the State of Franklin, but eventually Tennessee in 1796.
Elizabeth outlived her husband.
Isaac MCBEE and Sarah Elizabeth GRUBB had the following children:

Following on from yesterday's news that season three of Game of Thrones will see its ten episodes 'super-sized' with extended running times, we now have a brand new behind-the-scenes video from the hotly-anticipated new season, which you can check out below.

Raleigh, N.C. — Headliners are great. They serve a vital role in bringing in the masses to downtown Raleigh for the Hopscotch Music Festival every year. But as any seasoned Hopscotch veteran will tell you, the under-card is what makes this festival special. Go into the week with an open mind, and you are guaranteed to stumble upon some band you've never heard of, only to come out a hour later a new fan.
With 166 bands on the lineup, not including day parties, Hopscotch always goes out of its way to bring in an immense variety of sounds and styles. It has been their modus operandi since the festival began five years ago.
The 2015 version is no different. From the throwback Country Western ballads of Daniel Romano (Tir Na Nog on Sept. 12), to the sax-based punk outfit, Pill (Deep South on Sept. 11), to the scatalogic experimental sounds of Jenks Miller and Rose Cross NC (Kennedy Theater on Sept. 12) and everything in between, there is literally something for everyone.
All that being said, here are some of the acts I have never seen that I have circled on my lineup, knowing full well that the odds are good that I will discover someone else completely by accident who blows me away.
Thursday, Sept. 10
Grandma Sparrow - Kennedy Theater - 8:30 p.m.
This is easily one of the strangest acts on the lineup, but quite possibly the one I am most interested in experiencing first hand. Helmed by Joe Westerlund (Megafaun, Gayngs, Mount Moriah, Califone), Grandma Sparrow is a children's album given the full Willy Wonka treatment, a trippy experience that manages to keep in mind that the whole thing does not work if the music behind it is not actually good.
This project came about after 2012 Hopscotch veteran Matthew E. White approached Westerlund looking for something unique for his new label, Spacebomb Records. Behind the quirky kid's themes, Grandma Sparrow employs some of the sweeping "bigness" and slow-building crescendos that are a staple of White's own performances. You'd never mistake the two acts, but it is not too hard to tell that there is a connection.
Jenny Hval - King's Barcade - midnight
A Norwegian solo artist who spent the first part of the year touring in support of 2014 Hopscotch headliner St. Vincent, Jenny Hval has a wistful voice with a touch of soul. She will not bash listeners over the head with overpowering sound; instead, Hval's songs tend to settle into little themes playing underneath while her voice does the heavy lifting. She packs a lot of passion into her performances, and this set at King's Barcade is sure to be an intense experience.
Friday, Sept. 11
Must Be The Holy Ghost - King's Barcade - 9 p.m.
The latest effort from North Carolina's Jared Draughon is layer after layer after layer of sounds and music that work together producing a climax. He uses a heavy dose of guitar loops, synthy boops and beeps, and drum machines to complement his earnest, emotional singing voice. Draughon has already taken Must Be The Holy Ghost on stage in support of such acts as 2012 Hopscotch vet William Tyler and 2014 Hopscotch vets Toon and the Real Laww -- so he's already in good company.
Nocando - King's Barcade - 11 p.m.
A word of advice for those listening to Nocando (aka James "Jimmy" McCall) on the mic: pay attention. He maintains a steady flow of rapid-fire delivery with smart quips that somehow ends up sounding relaxed and effortless. It is hard to pin down the music underneath Nocando's rhymes; he's all over the map, which just makes him all the more unpredictable. As one of the MCs-in-residence at Los Angeles' legendary Low End Theory club night, Nocando brings a sparkling hip-hop resume to Hopscotch and is easily one of the highlights of a strong Friday night hip-hop lineup.
Moon Duo - CAM - 11:30 p.m.
Moon Duo, a two-person San Francisco outfit formed in 2009, lists its genre as "Repeat-o Rock" on the band's Facebook page, and it's hard to argue with that short summation. Keyboardist Sanae Yamada and guitarist Ripley Johnson take head-bobbing rhythms and build spacey, fast-paced, (and yes, repetitive) melodies on top of that pulsing base. Johnson's guitar has a ghostly distortion that serves as a nice counter to their often-upbeat singing, and it all packages up nicely into a psychedelic garage sound that should be a lot of fun.
Saturday, Sept. 12
Ameriglow - Tir Na Nog - 9 p.m.
Despite the fact that the band's own Facebook page describes Ameriglow's music as "Anti-Americana," a lot of people would probably have a tough time believing them at a glance. Doug Pug, Yakob Darden, and Kelly Tahey weave together dusty tracks on acoustic guitar, lap steel, electric guitar, piano, and a handful of other instruments to put together tunes that are firmly based in country, bluegrass, blues, and the Americana side of indie rock. Songs like "Dinner Bells" offer just enough of a little something different to make you think the band might be telling the truth, but don't believe them for too long.
Axis: Sova - Pour House - 9:30 p.m.
The crunchy distortion of Axis: Sova's guitar is a garage rock staple, but the drum machine keeping time behind that guitar throws you for a little bit of a loop. This started as a solo act for Chicago's Brett Sova, but he now tours with a full band. Many of Axis: Sova's songs march towards these nice slow builds that feature frenetic guitar play over lazy beats. The 7- or 8-minute extended cuts are a little different than you might expect from punky psych garage acts, but these represent some of the band's strongest hooks.
Boulevards - CAM - 9:30 p.m.
Raleigh's Jamil Rashad, aka Boulevards, wants you to dance. Seriously. He is bringing the funk to Hopscotch in a big way, with a solid thump that will get booties shakin' all over CAM on Saturday night. His synth-heavy party funk pairs well with his upbeat lyrics, and if he gets traction with the Hopscotch crowd he'll have impeccable timing, considering his EP is set to drop on September 25. Right now, Boulevards only has four tracks posted on his Soundcloud page, but "Got to Go" and "Forgot to Mention," in particular, will have even the stodgiest of wallflowers bouncing their heads in appreciation.
