Microfilm Roll #1, Gallatin (Misc.), Date 1819 - 1901
Compiled by Linda Carpenter
Dec. 17, 1892
Turpin Taken Away.
The Distinguished Murderer of Wm M. CARTER is Removed to Nashville. The Fear of a Mob the Alleged Cause of His Removal. But it is Intimated that the Sumner County Jail Does Not Furnish Accommodations Suitable to the Artistic Tastes of the Accomplished Gentleman. Edwin B. TURPIN was last Thursday morning taken to Nashville to remain until the next term of the circuit court. It is said that some one made affidavit to the fact that there was a mob forming to lynch TURPIN, and to escape such a calamity the distinguished prisoner was carried to Nashville for safe keeping. It is said the affidavit was made before the clerk of the supreme court, and forwarded to Judge MUNFORD, who instructed the sheriff to act upon his own discretion in the matter. Accordingly the sheriff, with the authority delegated to him by his superiors in position acted promptly and carried the prisoner to Nashville. The history of the TURPIN case is well known to our readers and it is not necessary here to go into full details. It will be remembered that TURPIN shot CARTER down upon the streets of Galllatin and was at once put in jail; that he subsequently applied for bail and was refused and he asked for a change of venue, which was refused. He then went to Trousdale county and applied to Judge HAMMOCK for bail and was again refused. He was then returned to the county jail and remained here and appeared in the circuit court the last time for his life. A week was consumed and a verdict of murder in the first degree rendered.
Upon a claim of having discovered new and important evidence and the charge that two of the jury had previously expressed views as to the guilt or innocent of TURPIN he was given a new trial. This unexpected step caused much dissatisfaction amongst those who thought TURPIN ought to be punished for his crime, but there has been no sentiment expressed or implied looking toward mobbing him and the action in taking him away from jail where he rightfully belongs is taken as a reflection upon the people of the county. The general opinion is that there was no threats made against TURPIN, but that the action taken was in response to the prisoner's desires and for the purpose of giving him accommodations more suitable to his tastes.
Residence Burned.
Louis GREEN'S residence, with most of its contents, was destroyed by fire last Sunday while he and his wife were in town attending church. It is thought that the fire originated in a defective flue. The small children were at home at the time, but were powerless to stop the flames or to save much of the household goods. The estimated loss is five thousand dollars, with one thousand dollars insurance.
Under a Grave Charge.
A pedler giving his name as Jim DICK, was brought to town last Saturday charged with attempting to commit an outrage upon the person of Mrs. SCOTT, daughter of Jim ROBERTS, of Cotton Town. The proof failed to sustain the charge and the defendant was discharged.
Saturday September 2, 1893
Killed by the Train
Last Friday night William BEASLEY, a colored boy about 17 years of age, was run over and killed by the south bound passenger train near the upper track on the L. and N. road in this city. The north bound and the south bound trains met at this point and Beasley, it is said, was walking between the two, and in trying to get out of the way of one was run over by the other. It is a singular coincidence that a brother of BEASLEY was killed about a year ago near the same place by the same train and in the same manner.
Hurt by a Falling Wall
Last Friday evening while workmen were engaged in diging the ceila of the McLaren building on the east side of the square, the wall on the south side of Col TURNER'S law office gave way and fell to the ground, carrying beneath it Ned BLEDSOE, col., one of the workmen. He was extricated as soon as possible, and at first was thought to be dead. Medical assistance was sommoned and BLEDSOE carried home where he is now resting easy.

Excitement and pledges of contestants returning next year surrounded the Short Game Skills Tournament held July 2 at the Magellan Golf course practice area.
The tournament, hosted by Hot Springs Village Women's 18-hole Golf Association, boasted a full field of golfers of all levels from the Village, Maumelle, Glenwood, California, Nebraska and Louisiana.
Contestants and onlookers enjoyed the additional activities surrounding the tournament. Lots of fun and laughs could be heard at the Water Skip Contest where more than 40 people were successful at skipping golf balls on the water and into a floating net for a chance to win $100. The winner of the Water Skip drawing is Chuck Perry of Hot Springs Village.
When not competing, the contestants enjoyed the 9-hole chipping course and delicious grilled burgers and hot dogs from the deli. The raffle prizes created interest and participation with comments on how desirable the prizes were.
Attendees proved you're never too old to enjoy the Segway rides, provided free of charge by Segway of Arkansas, in Little Rock, who provides tours of the city via Segway.
Rhonda Haynes, tournament director, had visions of organizing a Short Game Skills Tournament and decided to take steps towards making it a reality. "The months of planning, building equipment and organizing were all enjoyable for me, and seeing it culminate with such high praises was an adrenaline rush.
"We had 48 volunteers that made this tournament such a success. The comments I have received repeatedly are 'professional,' 'knowledgeable,' 'classy,' 'beyond our expectations' and 'organized.'
"I can't thank the volunteers and the contestants enough for helping to make the Short Game Skills Tournament such a success. Everyone I spoke with said they want to come back and participate again next time. I have already begun to make plans for organizing our next Short Game Skills tournament."
The tournament was a points-accumulation format with the overall points winner being Larry Stein of Hot Springs Village.
Tournament photos are available at WGA website http://www.hsvwga18.com/, select Pictures, Flicker.

I bet you love that new iPhone you've got. Get ready to throw it away! Apple just sent out invites confirming the rumored October 4th keynote, which if the "Let's Talk iPhone" tagline and iPhone screen icons on the invitation are any indication, will be an announcement about developments with the little handheld spaceship.
The Oct. 4 event, which will be held at Apple's own campus in Cupertino, California, is expected to be the first hosted by recently appointed CEO Tim Cook. Rumors predict that the event will be a demonstration of 4G LTE capabilities that requires equipment Apple has on campus, a good cause for the location selection.
Most in the relative know are expecting a revamped iPhone 4, branded "iPhone 4S" to be announced. That device is rumored to only sport an upgraded A5 chip, 8-megapixel camera, and other minor hardware changes, for a slight markdown on price.
Then again, there's also hopeful speculation that we'll get to see the unveiling of a full iPhone 5 upgrade, although analysts deem the move unlikely. Of course, we'll keep you posted on developments! Check back Tuesday for the full run-down.

Gomez vs. Markey
The strangest thing Gabriel Gomez said in the first Senate debate – not counting his unfortunate call for the U.S. to "united ourselves with the right terrorist group" in Syria – was when he accused Ed Markey of not having authored a bill signed into law in the last 20 years.
Gomez might have thought it gutsy to go after Markey's strongest suit, but all the charge did was give Markey an invitation to list all the laws he has written. Markey listed as many as he could fit in before moderator Jon Keller cut him off, but there are plenty more the fact-checkers and the Markey campaign will be circulating in the next few hours. Markey didn't even mention the V-chip, the Telecommunications Act of 1996, or the more recent change Markey authored expanding Daylight Savings Time.
Another missed opportunity for Markey: Just today, the TSA announced it was canceling its plan to allow small knives on planes. Markey was a leader of the effort to get that policy reversed.
I thought both candidates exceeded my low expectations. Both scored points on style if not substance. Maybe this debate will inject some excitement about the race into voters. But I doubt it.
Rob Meltzer permalinkJune 6, 2013, 7:55 AM
Just the opposite. Markey lost the independents and disaffected republicans who don't like Gomez. I should be able to carry my small knife on a plane. The lady mc bama campaign trip was a disaster for Markey. Markey doesn't need my vote. After the debate, I'm sitting this one out.
rob meltzer permalinkJune 6, 2013, 9:15 AM
Gomez isn't Scott Brown. Brown excited substantial enthusiasm amongst independents and democrats, while holding on to the Republican Party. Gomez repulses the independents and democrats, and he hasn't caught fire with Massachusetts Republicans. One of the things I find interesting about the internet is that I turn on email in the morning and read the overnight political chatter from both parties, and both parties say the same things about the candidates. Proof positive that what separates a Massachusetts Republican from a Massachusetts Democrats is wafer thin. Gomez misses that point and Markey doesn't care. I think the Republicans and Independents will sit at home, and the Markey base will send him to the Senate, and we lose our most effective congressman.

Judge sentences Phillip to 25 years for murder of Kent city employee Frankel
The two young daughters of Seth Frankel playfully moved around a hallway Friday outside of a King County Superior Courtroom in Kent where their father's killer had just been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
The girls were only 8 and 4 when William L. Phillip Jr. stabbed Frankel to death on May 21, 2010 at their father's Auburn home. Frankel, 41 and divorced, worked as a city of Kent videographer.
"More than anything he loved his children," said Christina Frankel-Barton, the mother of the girls, to Judge Andrea Darvas before she sentenced Phillip. "His girls were the most important pieces of his life. He took joy in their individuality and their wonder."
Frankel-Barton gathered her girls from another room at the Maleng Regional Justice Center after the sentencing. They were the focus of her comments to the judge.
"The hardest thing I've ever done is to tell the girls that their dad died," she said.
Phillip, 33, faced a sentence of 20 to 26 years for stabbing Frankel.
"This was a violent and senseless crime," Darvas said before she issued the sentence.
Prosecutors asked for the maximum sentence of 26 years while the defense requested the minimum.
A jury convicted Phillip in April during a retrial. The first jury in December was unable to reach an unanimous verdict after a six-week trial so Darvas declared a mistrial. Darvas oversaw both trials.
Jurors from both trials attended the sentencing along with relatives and friends of Frankel and Phillip.
Prosecutors Wyman Yip and Patrick Hinds told the jury that Phillip drove from his home in Oregon to Auburn to stab Frankel to death in his Auburn home because both were in love with Bonny Johnson and Phillip wanted her back. Johnson tipped off detectives to investigate Phillip.
Auburn Police used cellphone records and DNA evidence found on a bloody towel to tie Phillip to the killing of Frankel. Defense attorney Anuradha Luthra argued that police arrested the wrong man. She said Phillip had driven to Auburn that day because he liked to take drives to deal with stress and he had recently lost a friend and a relative.
Bonnie Weymouth served on the second jury that convicted Phillip. She talked to reporters after the sentencing about what led to her guilty verdict.
"The evidence was the DNA in Seth's apartment that only could have gotten there with (Phillip) being there and the cellphone that traced him where he was all that day and when he was there," Weymouth said. "That's the two pieces of evidence I needed in my heart to put it all together."
Besides Frankel-Barton, Seth Frankel's father Richard Frankel, mother Emily Markiewicz, sister Caitlin Frankel-Rowe and girlfriend Bonny Johnson each spoke at the sentencing. No relatives or friends of Phillip spoke.
Darvas asked Phillip if he wanted to make a statement.
"No, your honor," Phillip said.
Phillip wore a red jail jumpsuit and restraints on his hands and feet because of his conviction. Five jail officers stood guard at three exits. Defense attorney Anuradha Luthra asked Darvas to permit removal of the restraints, but the judge denied the motion.
The relatives of Frankel displayed photos and a video of him as they showed the judge his love for family and life.
"He was loving, kind, funny and magical," said Markiewicz, his mother. "He just loved everybody. We all had a very close relationship."
Markiewicz brought pictures that showed her son and then duplicates of the same photo with Frankel missing, his face a white cutout.
"My life took a terrible turn and my son is gone," she said. "He's gone no matter how many memories I have, no matter how many pictures I have, I will never hear his voice again. He'll never call me up. He'll never say, 'I love you.' He'll never say, 'That's a stupid joke mom.' He'll never pick me up and carry me around the room. He will never be there again."
Johnson said it was easy to fall in love with Frankel.
"One thing that drew me to Seth was his love for this world," she said. "I could see it in his excitement for nature and music and especially his devotion to his daughters. So when he was murdered and so violently, I didn't understand how somebody in this world could do that to Seth."
Richard Frankel asked the judge to give the maximum sentence for the killer of his son.
"It's heinous that this murderer chose to take the life of a man with two young children," Frankel said. "I personally believe that this was part of his plan. He not only wanted to punish Seth and Bonny by murdering Seth. He also wanted to punish Seth by assuring that his daughters did not have his father as a part of their lives just as his father apparently did not play a significant role in his.
"We will never seen Seth again and never enjoy his warm and loving personality. All we have left are memories, photographs, loving thoughts and a handful of ashes."

Iraq's foreign minister warned on Monday that a quick American military pullout from the country could lead to civil war and the collapse of the government.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar said Iraqis "understand the huge pressure that will increase more and more in the United States" ahead of the progress report by the U.S. ambassador and top commander in Iraq. "We have held discussion with members of Congress and explained to them the dangers of a quick pull out (from Iraq) and leaving a security vacuum," Zebari said, according to the AP. "The dangers could be a civil war, dividing the country, regional wars and the collapse of the state.
"In our estimations, until Iraqi forces are ready, there is a responsibility on the United States to stand with the (government) as the forces are being built," he said.
"There are some people who disagree with this assessment, but it's the responsibility of the United States and other countries to stand with the Iraqi government and the Iraqi people," he said.
Zebari's plea came as President Bush was due to face a fresh attack from congressional Democrats over his Iraq policy and as the New York Times reported he was under pressure to declare a redeployment of US troops in Iraq. According to the Times, White House aides are worried Bush is losing Republican support in the Senate and should change course sooner.

Mitch Moreland to meet this weekend with Rangers' doctor, discuss surgery options
The control problems that short-circuited right-hander Daniel Bard's run as a premier reliever with Boston have arisen as he attempts to revive his career with the Rangers.
Bard, who had thoracic outlet surgery in January, has made three appearances in the low Class A South Atlantic and retired only two of the 16 hitters faced. He gave up nine walks and hit five batters and had a 121.50 ERA.
In his last 19 appearances with the Red Sox, in 2012-13, Bard had 45 walks and eight hit batters in 60 1/3 innings.
The Rangers indicated when they signed Bard to a minor-league contract that they considered him to be a long-term project.
BRIEFLY: After receiving a second opinion on his injured left ankle, Mitch Moreland is expected to discuss the issue with Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister during the weekend. Moreland's options are a surgery that would sideline him for about one month, or a more complicated procedure that could keep him out for the remainder of the season. … Left-hander Derek Holland, recovering from off-season knee surgery, threw live batting practice to the rookie-level Arizona League team. He will stay at the complex in Surprise, Ariz., and will throw batting practice again on Wednesday. … Right-hander Colby Lewis has a large, deep-purple bruise on his right bicep, the reminder of being hit flush by a line drive from Miami's Justin Bour on Tuesday. Lewis said the bruise has not limited him during between-starts work, and he will be able to pitch at Oakland on Monday. … The Rangers signed 12 more draft picks. Right-hander Joe Wilson, a 12-round selection from Catawba College, was the highest pick in the group.

It was announced Wednesday that there will not be a class of new players inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this year, as none secured the 75 percent vote tally needed by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Several players from past eras will be inducted posthumously — along with one broadcaster, who has also passed away.
That leaves just one living inductee: longtime Philadelphia Daily News sports reporter Paul Hagen.
Hagen was the Phillies' beat writer for nearly 20 years before going on to write columns at the paper. He's now a general assignment reporter for MLB.com. Hagen spoke with NewsWorks Tonight producer Shai Ben-Yaacov from Arizona, where he's covering a national meeting of team owners.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady overcame a scoreless first quarter to throw two touchdowns in a 23-3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Gillette Stadium, handing the Bucs their third straight loss in three games.
Brady was without top targets Danny Amendola and tight end Rob Gronkowski, but managed to make stars out of a pair of rookies in Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson who, coming into this game, had a combined nine catches total.
Brady molded them into winners today. It just took a little bit to get going.
In the second quarter, the future first-ballot hall-of-famer found Thompkins mismatched against defensive end Adrian Clayborn on a 16-yard touchdown in the second quarter, putting the Patriots up 7-3 with 7:37 to go in the first half.
Thompkins also managed to slip past safety Dashon Goldson due to a breakdown in coverage. Thompkins then beat rookie cornerback Johnthan Banks into the end zone on a 5-yard touchdown pass, extending the Patriots' lead to 14-3.
"That's a play that we work on every day in practice," said Thompkins, who became the first rookie undrafted wide receiver to catch a touchdown pass for the Patriots since 2005. "To go out there, for me to be open, and to have Tom [Brady] trust me to throw me the ball felt good.
Rookie second-round draft pick Aaron Dobson caught seven passes for 52 receiving yards, including a 15-yard catch on third-and-4 and a 6-yard catch on fourth-and-2, setting up Thompkins' first touchdown.
"He definitely had a great day, and I'm proud of him," Dobson said of Thompkins. "We started together, so I'm very proud of him."
Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski also had a big day, hitting three field goals, including a 53-yarder just before halftime.
With 16 seconds left in the first half, Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib undercut Bucs wide receiver Vincent Jackson, picking off quarterback Josh Freeman at the Tampa Bay 43 yard line to set up Gostkowski's kick and giving the Patriots a 17-3 lead before halftime.
The Bucs had gotten off to a fast start on offense, including two trips to the red zone on the first two drives, but just three points to show for it.
Freeman connected with wide receiver Mike Williams on a 28-yard sideline route, and then on an 8-yard strike at the New England 44.
On third-and-15, he found running back Doug Martin for a 13-yard pickup, but head coach Greg Schiano opted to bring out the field goal unit.
Kicker Rian Lindell's 38-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right, giving him his second miss in two weeks. He would return on the very next possession for the Bucs to make a 30-yarder, giving the Bucs their only points for the game.
"I pushed it right. Missed kicks are tough on any team in any situation," said Lindell. "Everyone counts on me. The one true stat that seems to carry over is turnovers and [a missed field goal] is basically a turnover."
Vincent Jackson, who was matched up against Aqib Talib, caught three passes for 34 receiving yards, including a 19-yard catch on third-and-8 and a third-yard catch on third-and-2 to set up Lindell's kick.
Jackson left the game in the third quarter with a rib injury and did not return.
Williams finished the game with five catches for 65 receiving yards, but said none of them matter because the offense didn't come away with points.
"I don't really look at it as an individual performance. We did bad as a team [by] not moving the ball and not putting up points," said Williams. "If you move the ball and not put up points you might as well not move the ball. So I think as an offense we need to put up more points and give our defense a better chance."
The Bucs receivers experienced more success early on versus later in the game due to the Patriots defense playing one high safety before putting two safeties back.
"We give all the credit to them for making the adjustment. They adjusted to a lot of things…but as an offense we have to know the adjustments that are coming and have an adjustment to their adjustment. It is basically a chess game and today they came out on the better end," said Williams.
"We certainly had our opportunities. I think we had something like 14 plays in their territory in the beginning of the game and came away with three points," said head coach Greg Schiano.
"And it starts with me and we have to work through everything. And we have got to get better. There is no magic pill, we've just got to keep working and hopefully start to get into a little bit of a groove. We did some things at times, offensively, but then were unable to finish drives and you aren't going to win this league that way."
And it was almost worse.
The Patriots threatened to score a third time at the beginning of the third quarter, after a gashing 46-yard run by running back Brandon Bolden.
Brady hit Thompkins for a 20-yard gain on third-and-11, but on third-and-goal, he threw a pass right into the hands of Bucs safety Mark Barron, who led the team with 11 combined tackles and a half-sack shared with Lavonte David.
David finished with nine combined tackles, including two tackles-for-a-loss. Defensive end Adrian Clayborn and Akeem Spence both recorded sacks, with Spence's setting up a tough third-and-19.
The Patriots opted to go for it on fourth-down, however, and Barron failed to wrap up Michael Hoomanawanui, resulting in a 16-yard gain. Gostkowski drilled a 46-yard kick, giving the Patriots a 20-3 lead.
The Bucs were 0-4 on fourth-down conversions.
Quarterback Josh Freeman finished the game 19 of 41 with 236 passing yards, no touchdowns, and one interception.
Doug Martin, coming off a 144-yard rushing performance against the Saints, finished with 88 yards on 20 touches and two catches for 20 yards receiving.
The Bucs offensive line, playing with Pro Bowl guards Carl Nicks and Davin Joseph together for the first time in a regular-season game, surrendered three sacks.
The Patriots are now 3-0 for the first time since 2007, while the Bucs are 1-8 in the last nine games under Schiano.

Obama opts out
The empty, symbolic fight over the MoveOn ad also appears to be testing something that was, from the beginning, a central question in the primary: Do Democrats want somebody who will be above partisan fighting (Obama), or do they want a partisan fighter (Clinton)?
Obama's rationale for not voting on the Cornyn resolution, in a statement his press secretary just sent over, seems aimed at testing this.
The focus of the United States Senate should be on ending this war, not on criticizing newspaper advertisements. This amendment was a stunt designed only to score cheap political points while what we should be doing is focusing on the deadly serious challenge we face in Iraq. It's precisely this kind of political game-playing that makes most Americans cynical about Washington's ability to solve America's problems. By not casting a vote, I registered my protest against this empty politics. I registered my views on the ad itself the day it appeared.
All of us respect the service of Gen/ Petraeus and all of our brave men and women in uniform. The way to honor that service is to give them a mission that is responsible, not to vote on amendments like the Cornyn amendment while we continue to pursue the wrong policy in Iraq.
Will he be seen as above the fray, or just as wimping out?
Also, was the Boxer amendment that he voted for -- which condemned GOP attack ads on Max Cleland and John Kerry, as well as the MoveOn ad -- somehow less empty?

Growers and stakeholders are being invited to a listening session on federal insurance for crops produced under irrigation in Woodland next week.
"Farmers know better than most people that fresh water is a precious commodity," stated Randy Landgren, project manager with Watts and Associates, which is under contract with the US Department of Agriculture to hold the "listening session."
The USDA Risk Management Agency is evaluating how Federal Crop Insurance currently addresses producers intending to apply reduced irrigation.
RMA is evaluating a limited irrigation guarantee for producers who apply less water than they may have historically applied to their irrigated acreage, Landgren stated.
As part of the contract study, six listening sessions are being held to gather input from interested people, including one in Woodland, which is scheduled for 9 a.m., Thursday, March 6, at the Heidrick Ag History Center, 1962 Hays Lane.
Grower, insurance industry representatives, and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to attend and share their concerns and feedback about limited irrigation and ideas to address the crop insurance consequences of the changing irrigation water situation in future years.
"In some areas, major crops are generally irrigated, while in other areas irrigation is used primarily to supplement natural rainfall," stated Landgren. "Each state has unique systems for determining who gets water and how much they get.
Throughout the United States there are areas where the amount of irrigation water available to producers can vary from year to year, and can be significantly impacted by drought. In some areas, this means less water is available for agricultural use, particularly in recent years."
Because some farmers are required to use less water while others are offered alternative approaches to their water allocations, production of irrigated crops is changing, Landgren stated
Many producers already face reductions from their historical water use; others will in the future, noted Landgren. "These reductions come from a variety of reasons including reduced well capacity, compliance with interstate river compacts, and water right administration policies.
"The reduction in the supply of irrigation water creates challenges for the farmers who use the water, the organizations that manage water use, and the public/private sector programs that insure farmers' yields or revenues," Landgren noted.

Canned Air/Duster Products for Clean, Productive Work Areas
Bust the dust on office keyboards and monitors with the help of trusty canned air and duster products and keyboard protectors. While a common belief is that a little dust or liquid is harmless, the reality is that excessive buildup on computer components can lead to damage and result in reduced overall productivity. Canned air, keyboard protectors and monitor wipes work wonders against spills, tough dust, grime, hair and other frustrating elements that camp out on employees' computers and work areas and hinder progress. Preventing these kinds of messes is a large step toward a clean, organized space and improved electronic functionality.
Keep Your Office Keyboards in Tip-Top Shape
Computer keyboards are notorious for harboring dust, food crumbs, hair and other little goodies that make their way beneath the keys. While it's important for office keyboards to get regular wipe-downs to reduce germ transfer that can easily occur when multiple users have access, reaching down between the keys with a cotton swab or paper clip just isn't efficient when it comes to removing pesky debris. Canned air makes this tough job a breeze. Just press down on the lever, and watch in amazement as small puffs of air eliminate gunk from every nook and cranny.
Protect Your Office Keyboards From Spills With Covers and Skins
A wet keyboard often equals a malfunctioning keyboard, which can significantly slow down productivity when you have to call in the IT guy or replace the keyboard altogether. Keyboard covers and protective skins such as our KB covers for Apple products are the perfect solution to unfortunate coffee and water spills that can occur when employees are hard at work. Crafted with durable silicone, these covers fit like a glove to ensure maximum performance while keeping unwanted debris at bay.
Make Your Monitor Sparkle
Dusty monitors are no fun at all, as buildup can hide in all four corners and dull the appearance of glass. The good news is that canned air and monitor wipes can keep your office monitors looking as good as new. Monitor wipes clean without causing scratches, while canned air blasts the unsightly debris out of the corners for a just-like-new appearance.
Bulk Canned Air/Duster Products for Your Workspace Cleaning Needs
If you're ready to eradicate unsightly dust and debris from employee work areas and keep your office keyboards protected, Quill has all the right products to get you started. Choose from single canned-air products from Dust Destroyer that have precision-dusting extension tubes to tidy up a single work area, or purchase multi-packs to cover the entire office. Our keyboard protectors prevent liquid from damaging your systems, while our combo packs of monitor cloths and canned air make dusting and cleaning easy and convenient. Our dust-busting products let you say goodbye to dirt and buildup, allowing for a sparkling clean, productive office.

I grew up in Colorado Springs where I worked retail for about nine years at the local snow/skate shop, BC Surf and Sport. When I decided to leave the retail life, I was hired on as a tech rep in 1992 for DC Shoes, Northwave and Section Outerwear. After a couple of years, the rep group I was with was hired by Smith Optics. Little did I know at the time, but I would soon find out that this was the company I wanted to retire with. A few more years passed and I decided to become exclusive with Smith and along with my very esteemed colleagues, Axel Geittmann, Jake Pedziawatr and Heather Crawford, we have been charging with Smith Optics ever since.
I believe that my success with my retailers and hopefully the end consumer stems from the amazing relationship I have with all the people at Smith. It is a very tight, very talented group of individuals from our design team to our in-house reps that I feel really sets us apart. It's pretty easy to be passionate on every single shop visit or phone call when I know that I am representing such a rad brand.
I have been skateboarding for over 20 years, a few of which on the pro level (BC Surf and Sport was gracious enough to give me a pro deck years back) and snowboarding for about 10 years. To me, nothing is more fun than skating a park with some old friends or having "board meetings" with the crew at Loveland or Vail.
A very special thank you to all the shops and people who voted for me; I think of you all as my friends. I'm glad that I have gotten the chance to help your businesses grow and to have had some long nights out with a few of you. You guys are the best and I look forward to a great 2011!

California least terns cared for the most
Audubon Society nest site research and maintenance at Fiesta Island
Dave Good 11:15 a.m., Sept. 25
3860 Convoy Street #110, Kearny Mesa
I recall that first sniff on a warm September evening in 2008, the sight of various nimono (simmered dishes) piled into oozara ryori (large plates) lining the sleek wooden bar, the light crunch of the agedashi tofu (deep-fried tofu in dashi broth), all of which transported me home, sort of. You see, I'm a Sansei, third-generation AJA (American of Japanese Ancestry). Born and raised in Hawaii, we could be eating corned beef and cabbage one evening, chicken long-rice (cellophane noodles with chicken) the next. Sukiyaki and nishime, a vegetable stew, were special-occasion dishes, as were the various simmered dishes that are among my favorites at Wa Dining Okan.
Okan is tucked into the corner of a strip mall on Convoy, sharing space with Nijiya Market. The spartan but tastefully decorated shop is tiny, consisting of a nice 16-seat bar area and a few small tables. The capacity of the shop probably tops out at about 30 people, and things can get a bit cramped. This also means that if you intend on a non-solo visit to Okan on any evening other than Sunday or Monday before 6:00 p.m., reservations are recommended.
Upon being seated, you are handed a menu to go along with the smaller two menus placed at each table, one in English, the other Japanese. The large menu includes all the daily and seasonal specials — there are often as many as a dozen — along with the much overused category name "tapas." These are the items in the large plates placed on the bar. I'd stay away from anything resembling a tuna salad; you can get that anywhere. My preferences are the more classic dishes, such as nasu-miso (eggplant with spicy miso) and nasubi nimono (simmered eggplant), kabocha nimono (simmered pumpkin), and kiriboshi daikon (simmered dried daikon strips).
Over time, I've noticed an increased presence of nikujyaga-type dishes. Traditionally, nikujyaga is your basic meat and root vegetables slowly stewed in a soy-sake-mirin-sugar sauce. The end product can look like a dry stew or even gravy. At Okan, it comes in dishes such as shishito peppers stewed with ground beef, sweet and salty, with a sneaky spiciness. All kozara ryori (small plates) are priced at $3 during the literal happy "hour" (5:30–6:30 p.m. daily); otherwise, they're $3.75 each. If you're at the bar, don't be surprised if someone peers over your shoulder. Chances are that this person is not minding your business but merely checking out the daily offerings.
You could make a meal out of a couple of small plates and a noodle or rice dish. Since natto is not offered, I'd go with tororo (grated mountain yam) over rice. Yes, the texture is somewhat like glue, but it's refreshing when mixed in a bowl of rice with a touch of soy sauce.
There are a couple of other items I enjoy: the gobo salad ($6.50; $5 during happy hour) is an eye-catcher. It's also delicious. Gobo (burdock root) is common in Japanese cuisine and often used in Chinese herbal remedies. It has a woodsy, earthy flavor, a mild sweetness in the background. Because of its fibrous texture and its ability to soak up flavor, you'll find it most often in various simmered and stewed dishes. At Okan, gobo is shaved then deep-fried, accentuating the sweetness of the root. It's served dramatically stacked on top of a bed of mizuna and dressed with a ponzu-like dressing.
If the gobo is the princess of salads, the daikon radish salad with plum dressing ($7) is the ugly duckling. Slices of daikon are haphazardly stacked on layers of katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) with mizuna and the plum-based dressing scattered about. It is no less tasty, though I find the flavor a bit sour. I also like the kawa-su, thin slices of chicken skin in a ponzu-based dressing.
Fans of soju will be overjoyed to see the list of 30-plus brands available. Five are priced by the glass; bottles range from $13 to over $300. The sake list is more modest, with seven offerings, including two of my favorites: a good everyday Otokoyama and the pricey but wonderfully floral Kubota Manju Junmai Daiginjo. To qualify for Daiginjo Junmai classification, rice has to be polished (milled) to at least 50 percent. "Manju," as we call it, is polished to 67 percent, which leaves only a third of the raw material for this refined sake.
As for the rest of the menu, there are places on Convoy that do a better job with robatayaki (grilled), sashimi, and agemono (fried) dishes, though I've had a well-prepared deep-fried chicken-gizzard dish ($6), and agedashi tofu is good. The menu changes with the season; if something grabs your attention, try it. Recently, I've noticed the addition of kamameshi (rice cooked in a kettle). And while I don't expect it to live up to the fantastic kamameshi we had at the James Beard–nominated Aburiya Raku in Las Vegas, I'm still excited to check it out.
So, what's with the "Dinner at Mom's" title? Well, Okan is a slang word that means "mom." And though I'd never, ever, call my mother Okan, I'm happy to say that my favorite dishes at Wa Dining Okan do make me think of her. ■
Wa Dining Okan 3860 Convoy St. #110, San Diego, 858-279-0941; okanus.com
Lunch Hours: Monday–Saturday 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.
Dinner Hours: Monday–Wednesday 5:30–11:00 p.m.; Thursday–Saturday 5:30 p.m.–midnight; Sunday 5:30–10:00 p.m.
Fare: Japanese small dishes, sashimi, grilled, fried, simmered, and salads.
Vibe: Casual and cozy, with jazz usually playing in the background.
Must try: Gobo salad, along with a few of the daily special small dishes.
Need to know: The restaurant is tiny, so reservations are recommended. The bar area is good for solo diners. Ample parking, though the spaces are small.
I love gobo salad! Funny how you mention to expect "someone to peer over" your shoulders to look at what you're eating because I'm that "someone." I also take a trip to the powder room just to check out what others are ordering.

Mitt Romney not releasing names of bundlers
WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite criticism of Fannie Mae by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, his campaign accepted nearly $280,000 in donations raised by a registered lobbyist who once represented the government mortgage giant and whose clients now include a private equity firm and the drug company Pfizer.
Yet Romney has not identified all of his so-called fundraising "bundlers" who have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars, even after President Barack Obama's re-election campaign released the names of his top fundraisers.
Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich also haven't disclosed their bundlers. Ron Paul's campaign has said it doesn't use them.
For more than a decade, since the election of George W. Bush in 2000, presidential campaigns have identified their bundlers. In an age of "super" political action committees, which can pull in millions of dollars from anonymous donors, bundlers still matter to modern presidential campaigns.
Like Wayne Berman, the chairman of Ogilvy Government Relations who gathered $279,075 for Romney in 2011, these are well-connected executives who collect or direct multiple individual contributions of up to $2,500 to a campaign in amounts that can range from $50,000 to more than $500,000.
The lack of disclosure prevents voters from knowing who wields influence within a presidential campaign.
Keeping their identities secret could end up stinging Romney - like the mishandled release of his income tax returns - if voters conclude he is withholding politically damaging information.
Federal law requires only that candidates disclose the identities of bundlers who also are registered lobbyists, which the Romney campaign has done.
Berman and 15 other lobbyists representing a wide range of interests raised nearly $2.2 million for Romney in 2011, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Their clients included investment firms and a mortgage processing company accused of "robo-signing" foreclosure documents.
But just as disclosing income tax statements is commonplace for leading presidential candidates, voluntarily identifying bundlers has also become standard practice.
A corporate executive or a Wall Street broker who acts as a bundler can wield just as much influence as a lobbyist.
"Bundlers pose a very similar threat of corruption of candidates and office holders just as unlimited contributions would if made directly to the candidate or office holder," said Paul Ryan, associate legal counsel at the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center.
Ryan said the rise of super PACs, which can't lawfully coordinate their spending with a candidate's campaign, haven't diluted the importance of bundlers.
"At the end of the day, candidates want money in their own campaign accounts because they have full control over how it is spent," he said.
A Romney campaign spokeswoman did not respond to an email from The Associated Press asking when, or if, Romney intends to identify his bundlers.
Obama's re-election campaign on Jan. 31 released the names of more than 440 bundlers who collected close to $75 million in 2011, including 61 people who each raised at least $500,000.
The Obama campaign said it does not accept contributions from lobbyists.
But the list includes people involved in the business of influencing government.
Michael Kempner, for example, is president and chief executive officer of MWW Group, a public relations firm with a large lobbying business. Kempner, who raised more than $500,000 for Obama's reelection bid, is not himself a registered lobbyist.
Also on Obama's list are two fundraisers linked to Solyndra LLC, the California solar company that received a $528 million Energy Department loan and then later went bankrupt, prompting a federal investigation.
Obama's re-election campaign also received about $200,000 in contributions bundled by family members of a Mexican casino owner who fled the U.S. after facing drug and fraud charges.
The Obama campaign said it has returned the money. More than 1,000 bundlers collectively raised $152.2 million for the 2008 campaigns of Obama and his opponent, Republican Sen. John McCain, according to the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics.
Romney's Republican opponents also haven't identified their bundlers. But the stakes are higher for Romney, who holds a huge fundraising lead over his rivals.
Romney's campaign raised nearly $57 million in 2011 from individual contributions, which are capped by law at $2,500 each for primary and general elections.
Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator who stunned Romney by sweeping contests last week in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado, raised just $2.2 million last year.
Gingrich, the former House speaker, raised $12.6 million last year and Paul, a Texas congressman, collected $25.5 million.
Santorum, Gingrich and Paul have not reported having any registered lobbyists who are bundlers, according to the FEC records.
Money is the lubricant for presidential campaigns. But Santorum, seeking to maintain momentum from his recent victories, sought to use Romney's financial dominance against him with a David-versus-Goliath message.
"We're not going to win this race the way Gov. Romney has won the states he's won already, by outspending his opponent by 5-to-1 and beating them up. He's not going to outspend Barack Obama 5-to-1," Santorum said last week in Dallas. "How are you going to win an election if your greatest attribute is 'I'll spend more money than the other person?'"

Interview with author, Rena Jones
Today, my guest is children's author, Rena Jones. Ms. Jones' book, A New Job for Dilly, is available through 4RV Publishing and I had the pleasure of reviewing it earlier this week. Rena is here today to share some of her thoughts about writing for children.
1. Please tell me how long you've been writing, and why you decided to become a writer.
I began writing in 2003 after visiting Glacier National Park in Montana. A little mountain goat inspired me to write a story about him, and my love for writing children's stories began.
2. Are you a full-time writer or a part-time writer, and how do you organize your writing time?
I'm a part-time writer. My full-time job is homeschooling my two boys and being a stay-at-home mom to my four kids. I definitely write in spurts as inspiration hits. Once I'm on a roll … look out and be quiet! I have a hard time writing if there's too much noise. That's hard living in a house with 6 people.
3. What influences your writing?
I live in the mountains and there are lots of critters near my house. I see things like bears, raccoons, moose, deer, squirrels, all sorts of birds, rabbits, etc. A lot of my stories deal with animals because of what I see running around our yard. My family also loves seeing national parks, which are usually filled with animals. My boys, Nathan and Neil are a big influence on my writing. They're always coming up with fun ideas for me.
4. Is this your first published work? What other types of writing have you done?
A New Job for Dilly was my first published picture book. I have another book out called Lemur Troops & Critter Groups. My third book, The Marshmallow Man, is due out shortly. All are published by 4RV Publishing, LLC. I am due to have four more out with the same publisher over 2010-2012. I loved picture books as a child and they're my favorite to write. However, I have completed two middle grade novels and am currently working on a third one.
5. Why did you choose to write a children's story?
Since I homeschool my kids, I'm always doing something that relates to children and/or education. I've created a lot of lesson plans for my kids. Writing a children's story seemed so natural for me. I don't think I have what it takes to write for adults, but you never know.
6. What was the process of creating this book from the first idea to the final published book?
It's funny because with this book, I originally set out to make the story about a rat on a pirate ship. His name was Scabby at first. The story just sort of went off in its own direction and Dilly was born. There are 2 more books coming out in the series – A New Friend for Dilly and A Dinner Date for Dilly.
7. What are your thoughts on traditional versus self-publishing?
I think they both work. I see a lot of people doing very well with self-publishing, so I don't look upon it as a bad thing. With both ways, the author/illustrator still needs to work hard to get their work out there.
8. What is your marketing strategy?
My publisher is a small independent one, so most of my marketing is done online. I'm also working on trying to get my books in local stores where I live. I send out media kits, hang up flyers, mail postcards, make book trailers, and rely on wonderful friends to spread the word about my books. I also use social media sites to help with marketing.
9. What are your thoughts about children's writers needing an agent or not needing one?
I definitely see the plus in an agent. When I first started submitting stories, I didn't know anything about agents and whether or not I needed one. I don't have an agent now, but am currently looking for one for my middle grade novels. Obviously, it is possible to be successful without one, but I think it opens more doors if you have one.
10. Where can people find out more about you and your writing?
I have a website @ http://home.centurytel.net/RickRena/index.html. I'm on Blogger, Facebook, and JacketFlap. I also have an Author's Page on Amazon @ http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B003LTG5HY.
11. Do you have any tips for writers who are new to children's literature?
Read as much as you can about the business side. A lot of people come to me saying they have an "idea" for a children's book, but don't know how to take it to the next step. You have to understand the industry. Read lots of books in the genre you want to write in and study publishing company's booklists. There are a lot of how-to books on writing for children, so I recommend getting a few of those as well. But whatever you do – write, write, write! The more you write, the better writer you will become.
Rena, thank you for being my guest today. It's always a pleasure learning how other writers approach their work.

Alexi Delano dwells in the perfect balance between shiny minimalism and dark vivacious techno. With more than two decades on stage he has been able to combine different roots and facets of the contemporary music scale.
Alexi is intimately linked to the Plus 8, Clink Rec and Truesoul labels and each one of his projects has been leaving foot prints on the minimal/techno scene. He performs constantly in clubs around the world and in prestigious events.
Born in Chile but raised in Sweden, Alexi, with fellow Swedes like Cari Lekebusch, Adam Beyer, Jesper Dahlback, Joel Mull and others, became part of some of the first wave of Swedish electronic music producers that made a name for themselves in the mid 90′s. Releasing on techno labels such as Missile, Primate, Hybrid, Jericho, Svek and many more.
With a production and DJ style that sways neatly between house and techno, he consistently surprises with each release. Just listen to his "Would You?†track released on Magda, Troy Pierce and Marc Houle's label 'Items And Things' of the M_nus family; or the acid house classic "Believe Me†that he co-produced with Jesper Dahlback for Steve Bugs 'Poker Flat' label; continue with his and Xpansul's huge "Echolocation†track on Richie Hawtin's 'Plus 8′ label and you will get an idea of this mans eclecticism and creativity.
Presently Alexi Delano has no intentions of slowing down. He has a string of E.P's and remixes lined up for the year. There is no stopping Mr. Delano. He's a man who seems to be made of music.
