Colfax Marathon - Finish Line | Denver Colorado
This is a video of me running to the Half Marathon finish line at City Park in Denver, CO during the Colfax Marathon weekend on May 18, 2014.
Rants and observations on daily topics such as news, sports, movies, music, business, technology, politics, religion, monsters, bigfoots, zombies, and everything else that makes us all go a little mad, sometimes.
There is a creature alive today, who has survived millions of years of evolution. Without change. Without passion. And without logic. It lives...to kill. A mindless eating machine. It will attack - and devour - anything. It is as if God created the devil...and gave him...JAWS.
Christmas in March! It is officially summertime!
The wait is over: Oberon Ale has returned. A refreshing wheat ale fermented with our signature ale yeast, Oberon Ale signals the end of the winter doldrums. http://www.bellsbeer.com/

CLNG still believes DOE should eliminate review delays
Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG) President Bill Cooper issued a statement upon the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) implementation of its new procedure to only issue final approvals for applications to export LNG to non-free trade agreement (non-FTA) countries after applicants have completed National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review.
"CLNG continues to believe that DOE should adopt procedural changes to eliminate delays in the agency's review process and reduce ongoing regulatory uncertainty. We have serious reservations about the direction of DOE's procedural landscape," says Cooper.
He also adds, "given recent rule changes, CLNG urges DOE to provide regulatory certainty by instituting a policy of prompt approval for final non-FTA export permits following NEPA review. For projects that meet the requirements under NEPA, DOE should set a timeline as to when it issues the final decisions. When developers have already faced a lengthy waiting period for a conditional approval and completed the FERC process, continued regulatory uncertainty is not beneficial. Rather, the development of these projects and the economic benefits they will deliver to this country should be expedited."

Amanuensis Monday - One Letter, So Many Questions
This letter was one that was passed on to me by my uncle. It helped me narrow down the time when my great grandmother, Jadwiga, died. She isn't mentioned by name in the letter (which I did find odd) but it is obviously who the attorney was talking about since that is Clarence's mother.
I found it a bit odd that my great grandmother was the sole owner of the property in question. Any ideas there? Also the property isn't elaborated on because obviously Clarence would have known what the attorney was talking about, but I'm curious about that property and certainly want to find out more. Maybe it was left to her by a family member? Would she really have purchased it on her own? I'm also very curious because this property wasn't mentioned in the will/correspondence after Jadwiga's husband died. As I blogged about previously, the property in dispute then was their home. Could it possibly be the same property? So many questions. Lots still to look up and learn!

Hazleton, PA
Dear Mr. Tabor;
Due to the fact that your mother, who died only recently, was the sole owner of the property that was leased to the Socony Vacuum Oil Company, payment of rentals by the company will not be made to your father unless sole ownership in the property is vested in him or authority given to collect the same. At present he has an undivided one-third interest in it, and each of the four children own an undivided one-sixth interest.
I talked this matter over with your father, and he thinks it could all be simplified if the children and their husbands or wives, as the case may be, would convey their respective interests in the property to him and he in turn would execute a Will leaving the property to the children in equal shares. To me this sounds like a very practical solution because someone will have to look after the payment of taxes and the upkeep and maintenance of the property. I think you will all agree that your father is the proper person to do this.
Will you talk this over with your wife and if such an arrangement is agreeable, let me know at once, and I will prepare the required papers for your signatures?
Very truly yours,
Walter W Kaczmarek

Dave Grohl led the Foo Fighters into what looks like becoming a very long hiatus with a stunning end-of-tour gig at the Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park on Saturday night.
Without making a big deal out of it, we don't have any shows after this. This is it, man.
The band raced through a hits set before an estimated 60,000 music fans and millions more watching the gig live via streaming video online, and frontman Grohl took a moment to say goodbye after a lengthy world tour.
He said, "Without making a big deal out of it, we don't have any shows after this. This is it, man.
"This is the show where we come out and we play as many songs as we can in a short period of time, because, honestly, I don't know when we're gonna do it again and this is the perfect place to do it, right now, tonight".
His comments are sure to stir up controversy among Foo Fighters fans, who took to Twitter.com a month ago to voice their disappointment after Grohl announced the band's performance at Britain's Reading Festival would be its last for some time. The singer responded by stating, "Jeesh (sic)! Relax... I was only talking to England!!"
After their set at the Global Citizen Festival, the Foo Fighters made way for Neil Young and Crazy Horse, who headlined the charity event.
Earlier in the day, the Black Keys, Band of Horses and K'Naan performed, and John Legend made a surprise appearance to sing a stirring rendition of John Lennon's peace anthem Imagine.
However, the music was only part of the event, which marked the culmination of the Global Poverty Project's campaign to end extreme poverty around the world.
Actresses Olivia Wilde and Sophia Bush, singers Katharine McPhee and Selena Gomez and supermodel Karolina Kurkova all introduced scholars and and charity leaders, who spoke of the issues facing the Third World and how music fans could help.

Jangri - Celebrating my 100th post :):):)
Hurray I am done with 100 :) . Blogging started just as a time pass and to keep my recipes on the internet. But now it has made me explore more, learn new stuff and present it well. It does not stop with that, it has given me loads of new friends :) I am really excited and happy to be here on blogger :)
At this juncture I would like to thank all the bloggers and other viewers who encouraged me so much by writing comments and following me. Thanks a million. :) Planning on more new stuff on my blog. Will be implementing them soon.. keep watching. :)
I am celebrating my milestone with a Jangri. I just love this sweet so much. Every time I had an idea to make it at home, mom kept telling me that it wont work out. This made my senses tickle and badly wanted to challenge over her. So tried it out all by myself just a day before mom reached back home from her trip. I exactly followed the instructions found in Rak's Kitchen. Thanks a lot for the recipe.
She was really excited with it and appreciated me so much with a big hug and a kiss ;) I am sure I cannot get a better certificate for the dish :) :)
Whole wheat Urad dhall - 3/4 cup
Rice flour (optional) - 1 tsp
Orange food color - a pinch
Salt - a pinch
For sugar syrup:
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Water - Just to immense the sugar
Lemon juice - 1/4 tsp
Rose essence - 4 drops
Orange food color - a pinch
Soak urad dal for 2 hrs and grind with very little water as we do for grinding vadas.( Approximately less than 1/4 cup).The batter should be fluffy and smooth. Now mix a pinch of salt,food color and rice flour(if desired) and mix well.
Heat the sugar with water just to immerse it and after it starts boiling,let it boil for 3-4 minutes.Add lemon juice, food color and lastly essence and mix well and switch off the stove.
Take a zip lock cover and make a hole with a thin nail as shown in the picture.The hole should be very tiny. Fill half the cover with the batter and first practice doing in a plate. Draw two circle and then over it draw small swirl like circles. Just practice 2-3 times you will get it right.
Then heat a broad, flat bottomed pan(keep the flame in low) with only little oil say 1 inch depth.
The oil should not get fully heated,when it starts forming small bubbles in the bottom, draw jangris in the oil,repeat the same to make many. Once the jangris gets cooked and becomes light, turn over and cook till crisp and then take out carefully and transfer to the sugar syrup. You can use the stick they use for turning paniyaram to take it out carefully.
Dunk the fried jangris in hot sugar syrup for 1-2 minutes and take out carefully and arrange it a plate.Give 1/2 hour standing time.
Yummy Jangris are ready to eat.. :) I bet you just cant stop with one. Enjoy making.. happy eating :)
I am sending this to "just not another dish" event of "Dew drop in the kitchen"

A reporter from the Shanghai Evening Post says he worked undercover at Foxconn Tai Yuan factory for 10 days.
Foxconn is the controversial facility where all of Apple's products are produced.
His mission: Learn about iPhone 5 production.
The reporter kept a detailed journal of each day he spent at Foxconn. The first seven days were spent in training. The 8th day he helped produce the iPhone 5.
He depicts run down facilities, gruelling hours, tedious jobs, and disgusting living quarters.
Micgadget has translated most of The Shanghai Evening Post's report. Here are the highlights from the reporter's diary.
Day 1: A sanity test, a perpetual garbage smell, and lots of cockroaches
The reporter contacted Foxconn HR and was told he could work there so long as he was healthy and had proof of citizenship. Then he had to pass a test to see if he was sane. The test asked him questions such as how he had been feeling for the past 30 days. Then he hopped a bus to the factory.
Sleeping at Foxconn was not a pleasant experience. The reporter called it a "nightmare" and said it smelled like a combination of garbage and sweat. "When I opened my wardrobe, lots of cockroaches crawled out from inside and the bedsheets that were being distributed to every new worker were full of dirt and ashes," he wrote.
All of the windows in the workers' living quarters were covered in bar-like wires — possibly to prevent suicides.

Day 2: A sketchy confidentiality agreement that encouraged possible toxic pollution
The reporter was asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. All workers must pledge to keep technical information, sales figures, production statistics and HR information about Foxconn secret.
There was a section for "possible harmful effects that may be caused to workers during production." Workers were asked to accept all of them including "toxic pollution."
Photo: ABC News (screenshot of a report)
Day 3-6: Training: "You might feel uncomfortable about how we treat you….just obey."
After signing the confidentiality agreement, the reporter and fellow Foxconn workers were given a history of the factory and given safety precautions. There were 13 reward policies and 70 penalty policies.
The Foxconn employee told the group over and over again that the most important thing they needed to do at Foxconn was "obey."
"You might feel uncomfortable about how we treat you, but this is all for your own good," the supervisor told them.
Day 7: The run down facilities and hardly any medical care
Foxconn wants its workers to produce products straight through the night. They're encouraged to rest during the day. The reporter said the conditions gave him a perpetual headache, but when he visited Foxconn's sole hospital, there was only one doctor on shift.
The reporter checked out the entertainment facility, bathrooms, gym, and post office. All were in poor condition. "The so-called theatre room only shows a screen shot picture of a meeting room. The most interesting part is, out of the whole Foxconn factory, I can't find a single place selling beer," he wrote.
Foxconn workers come together to relieve stress on the "playground" outside the factory. At one of the gatherings, the reporter jotted down a fellow worker's announcement to peers:
"We are all over stressed everyday and we are not allowed to shout on the production floor. Over here you can shout as loud as you want to release your stress."
Day 8-10: Hands on with the iPhone 5 – Dinner at 11 PM, Shift ends at 6 AM
Security was heavy heading onto Apple's production floor. Workers were told that if they were stopped by metal detectors with so much as a belt buckle, they'd be terminated immediately.
Once in, the reporter was assigned to work on the iPhone 5's back plate. He and his peers were told they should be "honored to have the chance to produce it."
"Our line is being assigned to use masking tapes and plastic stoppers to cover up the earphone jack and the connector ports of the back plate in order to prevent the paint from being sprayed onto it on the next process," the reporter wrote. Everyone wore gloves and masks.
Finally at 11 PM, the workers ate dinner. Then it was back to work. The reporter was frequently scolded by supervisors for being too sloppy and working too slowly.
New back plates passed the reporter on a conveyer belt every three seconds. He had to pick them each up quickly, mark them with an ink pen, and put them back. Mistakes were not allowed. The reporter complained of neck and muscle pains after hours of the tedious work.
The shift continued until 6 AM. The reporter estimated that in 10 hours of work, he was expected to mark 3,000 iPhone 5 back plates; 48 others in three other production lines were expected to do the same and produce about 36,000 iPhone 5 back plates total in just half a day's work.
At 7 AM, the reporter and his peers were finally allowed to rest. Their supervisor encouraged them to work two hours of overtime, for a mere $4.

Buenos Aires, Iguazu and Patagonia, Agentina
In October, 2012, my husband and I spent three weeks doing a grand birding tour of Argentina with Horacio Matarasso of Aves Patagonia that covered some of the best birding areas of the country. We started out in Buenos Aires' Costanera Sur Park where we had a good number of species despite it being Saturday and well populated with city dwellers enjoying a lovely spring day. Speckled Teal, Nanday Parakeet, Glittering-bellied Emerald, Black-and-rufous Warbling-Finch and Gilded Emerald were some of the highlights. We were also treated to a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl that brought all the expected interest from other birds. From Buenos Aries we head north through the state of Entre Rios which as one might expect had some special birding habitats in the delta which are populated with good numbers of species and individuals. Ceibas was exceptional with striking birds such as Roseate Spoonbill and Maguari Stork but also a good selection of ducks: Speckled Teal, Ringed Teal and Rosy-billed Pochard in particular. Special treats were White Woodpecker, Curve-billed Reed-haunter, four species of Spinetail, two species of Thornbird and Lark-like Brushrunner. Flycatchers were also well represented. We spent a day visiting the unique palm-tree expanse called Palmar National Park where we were delighted by the Plush-crested Jay, White-barred Piculet, Green-winged Saltator, Spotted and Red-winged Tinamous and Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant. An evening excursion (before a rain deluge!) served up Scissor-tailed Nightjar and the strange but appealing Vizcacha, a nocturnal burrowing mammal. Our base of operations was in the old town of Liebig (Scimitar-billed Woodcreeper on the way in), where we stayed in a beautifully restored house and were visited by a Nacunda nightjar in the evening as we did our daily list. It was our first exposure to the Argentinean national obsession with the herbal drink, Mate, which we found not to our liking but we were the definite minority. Thermoses of hot water and hot water dispensers just about everywhere proved that! Next day we were off to Mercedes where we picked up a Crowned Slaty-Flycatcher, Ultramarine Grosbeak, Golden-winged Cacique, Stripe-crowned Spinetail and Greater Thornbird which we celebrated finding with alfajores, another national obsession. This dulce de leche confection was an obsession we could appreciate and adopt!
Our next destination was the still remote area of Ibera and it's extensive wetlands. A Strange-tailed Tyrant and many marsh-birds greeted us on the road to the small town and an afternoon boat ride provided great drama as we watched a very large caiman wrestle with an equally large anaconda. As usual in this type of habitat Snail Kites and two species of Harrier did their flybys while a juvenile Great Black-Hawk remained undisturbed by our approach. Later we had Blue-crowned Parakeets and the star of the Hummingbird Tree on the lodge grounds: the Blue-tufted Starthroat. Our second afternoon was a special treat as we had lunch with a Guarani family on their estancia, everything having come from their own fields and gardens. We were greeted on our arrival at the ranch road by a pair of Yellow Cardinals who seemed to take umbrage at the intrusion of our vehicle and so "attacked" it. For about twenty minutes we stood watching with delight at the improbable contest.
Leaving Ibera and after a long day in the car we arrived at Iguazu National Park. Everything you've heard about this spectacular place is true. It's an experience not to be missed, and includes the bonus of watching the Great Dusky Swifts dart in and out of the falling water. There are several trails nearby (some in the park) that provide productive birding as well. As so often happens we heard a Spotted Rail calling but didn't see it at first even though it was very close. Then all of sudden it appeared and we got very good looks at it. Not so difficult to spot was the Toco Toucan raiding the nests of Red-rumped Caciques. Being a rain forest there were the usual suspects including lots of flycatchers, a few tanagers, swallows, antbirds (including Spot-backed Antshrike), Surcurua Trogan, and Rufous Motmot. Even the hotel provided a three interesting species: Pauraque, Tropical Screech-Owl and Thrush-like Wren.
An accident on the only road between our hotel and the airport caused us a few jitters but we finally made it to Buenos Aires and on to our next and totally different area, Patagonia. Patagonia covers a large area in Southern Argentina and Chile although the eastern (Argentinean side) is much drier and the steppes there provide habitat for a completely different set of birds than we'd been seeing. Our base for several days was the warm and welcoming town of San Martin de los Andes (with its iconic Black-faced Ibis), a vacation spot for people from all over South America and beyond, offering skiing in the winter and relief from the heat in the summer. Our bed-and-breakfast, Casona Delalto was wonderfully situated with fantastic views and real luxury. The mix of mountains and steppes made it a perfect birding location. The highlight has to have been the bird everyone asks about: the Magellanic Woodpecker. He certainly didn't disappoint! Responding to Horacio's imitation drumming he swooped in to look for his intruder. Magnificent bird. Other exciting finds included Des Mur's Wiretail and Thorn-tailed Rayadito. On our way to the steppes in a transition area we found Coroscoba, Black-necked Swan, and Austral Canastero. In the steppes we found Patagonian Mockingbird, Sharp-billed, Short-billed and Cordilleran Canasteros. Add to that Common Miner, Patagonian and Straight-billed Earthcreepers, and Bar-winged Cinlcodes, as well as Dark-faced and White-browed Ground-Tyrants and Hellmyr's and Correndera Pipits and a Lesser Seed-Snipe foraging next to our car. A special treat was a group of surprisingly wary guanacos grazing in the sparse vegetation. Waiting for us back in town were Burrowing Parrots which we saw again the following day at their burrows. This area was the only place on the trip where we saw Lesser Rheas, a bird definitely on my wish list. One of my favorites though was the petit Austral Negrito a common sight all the days we were in Argentinean Patagonia.
Now it was time to see the "other" Patagonia and so we headed across the Andes, (catching sight of Austral Parakeets and Chilean Pigeons at our stop for Mapuche fry bread) to the Chilean coast at Maicolpue, a small and appealing town on a bay surrounded by hills. Our first sightings right in town were the Green-backed Firecrown and busily feeding on the hotel's grass, Patagonian Sierra-finches and Black-chinned Siskins with the noisy Dark-bellied Cinclodes always nearby. We headed out to look for other coastal birds and found a grand slam of cormorants which included Neotropic, Magellanic, Imperial and Red-legged. And who wouldn't be excited to see Humboldt and Magellanic Penguins? As matter of fact we were able to approach the latter on foot after a short boat ride to a nearby nesting island where we watched them watching us! After only two nights we were headed back east (stopping to see Slender-billed Parakeets on the way) with two nights in Puyehue National Park on the side of a volcano. In 2011 one of the volcanoes in the area erupted spewing ash over hundreds of kilometers but here in the mountains the amount of ash was most amazing. At the time of the eruption it had to be plowed like snow and remains in large mounds beside the roads. One of the benefits of all this volcanic activity in the abundance of thermal hot springs one of which we enjoyed at our lodging. Driving part way and climbing part way we reached the top of Casa Blanca Volcano, seeing the beautiful Bridled Finch along the way. The view of the chain of volcanoes was stunning to say the least. On the hotel grounds and nearby woods we could see Chuchao Tapaculo and the tiny Magellanic Tapaculo and listen to the noisy and varied calls of the Austral Blackbird. Also of note were Ochre-flanked Tapaculo, Huet-Huet and White-throated Treerunner.
Back across the border we ended the birding part of our trip in attractive and vibrant Bariloche, the largest town in Patagonia, before flying to Buenos Aires and home. While there, after a concerted effort, we finally found the Flying Steamer Duck and Wren-like Rushbird. Better looks at the Tufted Tit-Tyrant and Slender-billed Parakeets were unexpected bonuses. We ended up with over 350 species for the trip.
Many thanks to our excellent guide in the North, Diego, who found many birds hidden in the forest and drove like a madman to get us to the Iguazu airport; to Augusto who made our outings in San Martin so much fun; and to Eugenia whose driving and companionship on the trip to Chile were especially appreciated. The biggest thanks go to Horacio Matarasso whose knowledge, expertise, organizational skills, and calmness during unexpected bumps made the trip one of the best birding excursions we've ever had.

From Mahara Sinclair and Ken Grist, Nov. 2010.
Contact to email@example.com
We`ve just completed a six-day birding tour organized by Aves Patagonia, as a pre-conference trip to the South American Bird Fair. The journey was close to 2,000 kilometres from Buenos Aires to San Martin de los Andes. What a time we had. There were five birders on the tour, our birding guide, Federico, and two different drivers in a 14-seater van. We enjoyed time with a couple from France and an Argentine woman. Federico is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and eager to please. The group dynamics were excellent and we had a lot of fun. All of us are avid birders. We had some difficulty because of our less-than-perfect Spanish language skills, but I now know a lot of Argentine birds by their Spanish names. Our conversations were a combination of Spanish, English and French, although mostly in Spanish, or Spangish. It worked, although next time we would like to learn the names in English. We missed a great deal of the small talk.
The first day we covered almost 600 kilometres, but after that most other days we traveled an easy 200 kilometres or so. On a typical day we were up early, and after a quick breakfast of medialunas (tiny croissants) and coffee, were on to our first birding site, generally close to where we arrived the previous night. Sometimes we saw birds in the hotel parking lot. For example, from the town of Carhue we went to Lago Epequen where we saw dozens of flamingos and Wilson's phalaropes. After we'd seen all we could in an area, we would pile into the van and drive for a few more hours to the next location, stopping along the road by little ponds or marshes if we saw unusual-to-us birds or animals. We stayed at Carhue, Santa Rosa, Puelches, La Roca and Piedra del Aguila.
As we drove along, from his thermos of agua caliente Fedi would prepare some mate and would pass it around with everyone drinking from the same straw-like spoon. Mate is the local drink Argentines consume like coffee; it wasn`t our favourite because to us it tastes like medicinal herbs. We birded all day, stopping only for lunch and coffee and would arrive into the new town pretty late, around 8:30 or so. Dinner would be around 9:30 or 10 or later, very late for us. Then we would drop into bed at 12 or 1 to be up and ready to go by 7 am.
We saw parrots and hawks, tinamous, flycatchers, owls, tyrants, cowbirds, thrush, ibis, ducks, phalaropes, flamingos and roseate spoonbills, swallows and dozens more- about 150 species in all, with about 40 to 50 bird groups a day and usually around eight new birds every day. On the lakes and marshlands it's easier to spot birds. Typically upon arrival at a cliff or desert site we saw very little. However, after a few minutes of being there and merging in, we would get a sense of the place and where the birds might be. We traveled across five of the ornithogeographical zones of Argentina. These include the Pampas, the Chaco and Espinal, the Monte, the Patagonian Steppe and the Araucano Forest.
We drove through apple, pear and wine regions, by dry salt lakes, and in another region saw buttes or montes and high cliffs in the distance. We went through lots of desert and scrubland, and in the high desert areas the 360 degree vistas were amazing. We experienced a brilliant red sunset one evening, and silhouetted in the distance was a red-backed hawk on a pole. Patagonian swallows dove in and out of the dry volcanic cliffs and we learned that rock doves live in, well, rocks, or cliffs. We spent time high in the mountains, by lakes and rivers, in provincial park, for example, Parque Luro and national parks such as Lihue Calel, and explored a town abandoned after the nearby panoramic mirador dam site was built. We visited a Museo Paleontologica in Neuquen province and learned of the history of the area. On display was an Argentinosauros, part of the Titanosaurs, as well as Gigantosauras. Argentina also has dormant volcanoes, with the glistening snow covered peak of Mount Lanin rising near San Martin. The geographical changes were reflected by the various birds in each region, Austral birds, and desert birds for example. The dry flat pampas is similar to the southern Okanagan.
We had a few strange experiences. We wandered through a crumbling and decrepit graveyard, its tombstones leaning and damaged. It had emerged from Lake Epequen three years ago, after being submerged for 25 years. Lining a path to the graveyard were tall white barren dead trees, standing stark against the sky. A women living in a nearby trailer nearby asked us to sign a petition about saving the area.
We saw calm guanacos silhouetted on the mountain tops, standing as sentries for their herds. We stopped to take pictures of tortugas or turtles and tarantula on the roadway. There were red deer with huge antlers and wild pigs in the fields, along with plenty of gauchos on horse-back, tending their cattle or traveling. After being bitten by red ants while standing on their ant hill, I learned to look before we moved forward. Seeing tarantulas on the road a few times convinced us not to go into the desert with open-toed sandals.
At first we couldn't figure out what our guide Fedi was doing when he leapt suddenly from the van and ran like crazy into the dry bushes. We didn't recognize the Spanish word for armadillo which someone called out as we drove along. They are hard to spot and harder to catch. After a couple of misses, he got one before it had a chance to dig itself into the sand so we were able to look and photograph it. The little critter must have run away at 50k per hour. The sun was often fierce and the van`s air conditioning spotty; once it was 40 degrees inside the van at mid-day.
I took dozens of flower pictures, from cacti to alpine beauties, and I hope to have a web-album of the birds, animals and flowers soon.
Our final destination was San Martin de los Andes, a gorgeous small town located in a valley. Talk about broom or forsythia - complete hillsides were a brilliant golden yellow and the roadsides were lined for miles. The snow covered dormant volcano Lanin shone in the light above the clouds. San Martin felt and looked much like Whistler, with huge evergreen pine and cedar trees and snow-capped Andean peaks. Similar to Ecuador, the altitude and temperature create ideal rose growing conditions and dozens of varieties lined the streets and houses. The alpine houses were built in the classic "snow-resort" style: lots of cedar, wooden windows, huge stone facades, steeply sloped snow roofs and curved doorways. As we sat and gazed at beautiful Lake Lacar we commented that we could have been in Horseshoe Bay, except that it's sunnier.
San Martin has a completely different atmosphere to Buenos Aires – cool alpine air, clean and very middle class. The city has a small village feel although the streets were lined with high-end adventure clothing stores, restaurants and coffee shops and there are plenty of adventure tours available: rafting, wind surfing, snowboarding, canopy towers, skiing, hiking, and horseback riding, and of course, skiing. Both San Martin and nearby Bariloche were settled by Europeans. In the general area there is a Swiss colony, called Colonia Suiza, and the words Edelweiss, Tirol, Alpine were amply used. Fondues and chocolate are regional specialties.
Feria de Aves de Sudamerica
The South American Bird Fair or Feria de Aves was exciting. There are about 30,000 birdwatchers in Argentina, and it is quite an organized activity, with training and accreditation involved. There were also many people from the tourism industry as the organizers plan to make this an annual event.
The bird fair participants had a great respect and understanding of nature and are involved with protecting and nurturing the environment. For example, one couple, an engineer and his wife, are running an NGO, involved in land and seed conservancy and in clean energy. Our poor Spanish language skills precluded talking to many involved people in great depth. Argentina has a ten year environmental plan to preserve Argentina`s natural resources and they are creating new natural reserves and parklands. We found the countryside of Argentina to be in good shape.
Travel makes you more aware of whom you are. We didn`t realize we were such passionate environmentalists because we took things such as a clean environment for granted. Involvement with birding takes us to natural places as well as the big world cities. Unfortunately, respect for the environment is not uniform, with much of the third world awash in garbage. Plastic bags and tin cans litter the countryside. The Argentines have a better handle on it than many countries.
The conference had about 25 sessions on all aspects of birding; anatomy, evolution, photography, conservation, and birding information about Columbia, Brazil, Peru, and Chile. There were photography and painting exhibits and four early morning birding trips to the surrounding area. We met producer of The Path of the Condor, filmed in the Andes and saw this amazing piece of work.
The author Tito Narosky spoke and autographed his new edition of the Field Guide of the Birds of Argentina and Chile. Written in both Spanish and English, with both photos and drawing and a CD of bird songs included, it's a major accomplishment. The fair organizer, Horacio Matarasso, did a wonderful job and his two teenage sons participated.
We are developing a more in-depth feeling and knowledge of the Argentine people after spending more than a year here. Many Argentines have a rich intellectual life. They read a lot, are involved with their interests and are happy with their lives. In my opinion Argentina is the most cultured place in South America, with a large, but shrinking middle class.
We enjoyed a lovely final evening at the home of an American couple who are building a home in the hills of San Martin on a bluff overlooking a mauve and purple lupine meadow and the alpine mountains. It's always interesting to share stories with other couples and see how we have all arrived at where we are in life.
And so our birding trip and the bird fair ended and off we went to Bariloche. It was our first extended birding trip and we are hooked.

Businesses risk losing over $1 trillion from loss or theft of data and other cybercrime, according to a study released on Thursday by security technology firm McAfee.
The California-based company launched the survey after detecting a rapid acceleration of malicious software, or "malware," last year, CEO David DeWalt said. Malware increased by 400 percent in 2008, he said.
"This was a very insidious type of malware that was designed either to steal your data, steal your identity, steal your money, and in many cases the scale as well as the sophistication was very alarming," DeWalt said in an interview at the meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The survey of 800 companies in 8 countries showed that 80 percent of malware aimed to make a financial gain, in contrast to traditional viruses and worms which just had nuisance value.
In the survey, 42 percent of companies said that laid-off employees were the single biggest threat to their data security.
The increase in the availability and power of removable storage, such as mobile phones, laptops, and USB sticks, has made data loss or theft easier. And global supply chains mean that sensitive data is often stored abroad.
DeWalt said the survey showed that the average company has $12 million of data stored outside its home country--often in countries with little intellectual property law.
Data lost accidentally or through theft can be expensive to replace or damaging to a company's reputation or brand.
In April last year, discount retailer TJX said it would pay up to $24 million as part of a settlement with MasterCard over a security breach that put credit card data for tens of millions of shoppers at risk.
The British government has been repeatedly embarrassed by losses of data, such as when the tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs, lost data on 25 million people exposing them to the risk of identity theft and fraud.

Pseudoephedrine is a drug found in numerous prescription and behind-the-counter medications, including Sudafed Congestion (but not Sudafed PE), Zyrtec-D, and Claritin-D.
It's used to temporarily relieve nasal congestion from colds, allergies, and hay fever, and temporarily relieve sinus congestion and pressure. Though it can relieve symptoms, pseudoephedrine doesn't treat or speed the recovery of the underlying health condition.
Pseudoephedrine is in a class of medications called nasal decongestants, which cause smooth muscles around the airway and nasal cavity to relax, allowing more air to flow through. It also causes blood vessels to contract.
Pseudoephedrine is also sometimes used "off label" to treat urinary or stress incontinence, and to prevent ear pain and blockage from pressure changes due to elevation or scuba diving.
Depending on the medication, pseudoephedrine may be paired with other drugs. For instance, the active components of the allergy medication Zyrtec-D are pseudoephedrine and the antihistamine cetirizine hydrochloride. Advil Cold and Sinus contains pseudoephedrine and ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for pain and swelling.
Numerous drug manufacturers make medicines containing pseudoephedrine, including Pfizer, Acura Pharmaceuticals, and Bayer Healthcare.
Pseudoephedrine is sometimes abused, or used for non-medical purposes, because of its stimulant effects - it can give an excitable, hyperactive feeling and increase heart rate and blood pressure.
The drug has a low risk of dependence, however, and withdrawal symptoms are unlikely to develop after stopping the drug.
Pseudoephedrine has had a controversial history in sports, as some athletes have used it as a performance-enhancing drug - it's on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of substances prohibited during competition.
Pseudoephedrine can be used to make methamphetamine, or meth, a powerful and highly addictive stimulant. For many years, the drug was available over-the-counter (OTC) without prescription or restrictions.
But under the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005, which was incorporated into the Patriot Act in 2006, pseudoephedrine can now only be sold from locked cabinets or behind the counter - a photo ID is required when purchasing products containing pseudoephedrine, and people are only allowed to purchase a limited quantity of the drug each month.
In 2013, Westport Pharmaceuticals began selling its cold and allergy decongestant Zephrex-D over-the-counter in Missouri pharmacies, because the pseudoephedrine-based medicine had a special formulation that didn't allow for the easy manufacture of meth.
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), however, quickly released a statement saying the drug could still be used to manufacture meth, and therefore must remain behind the counter with other pseudoephedrine medicines.
You shouldn't use pseudoephedrine if you are currently taking or have taken within the past two weeks monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), a class of antidepressant medications that includes furazolidone (Furoxone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), and phenelzine (Nardil), among other drugs.
Tell your doctor before taking pseudoephedrine if you have or have ever had:
Also talk to your doctor if you have ever had a narrowing or blockage of your digestive system and plan to take 24-hour extended-release pseudoephedrine tablets.
Don't give nonprescription products containing pseudoephedrine to children younger than 4 years old, as they may suffer serious side effects, including death. Children under 12 years old shouldn't be given extended-release pseudoephedrine capsules.
Pseudoephedrine is in FDA Pregnancy Category C, which means the risks to the fetus cannot be ruled out, and the benefits of the drug must be weighed against the risks.
Some research suggests that pseudoephedrine use during the first trimester could increase the risk of birth defects. One study, published 2002 in the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that infants had a higher risk of gastroschisis, an abdominal wall defect in which the intestines poke outside the body, if their mothers used pseudoephedrine during pregnancy.
A more recent study published 2013 in the same journal linked pseudoephedrine use during the first trimester to an increased risk of limb-reduction birth defects.
In both studies, however, the overall risks to the unborn child were still very low.
Small amounts of pseudoephedrine are excreted in breast milk, though it's unclear what effects this has on breastfeeding infants.
A 2003 study in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology suggested the drug was unlikely to harm breastfeeding infants. Nonetheless, you should talk to your doctor about taking pseudoephedrine while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Pseudoephedrine may also cause side effects associated with other stimulant drugs, including:
Pseudoephedrine interacts with:
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any vitamins, nutritional supplements, herbal remedies, medications, and illicit or recreational drugs you may be taking, especially those that are used for weight loss, appetite control, asthma, colds, or high blood pressure.
Taking pseudoephedrine with sympathomimetic amines, including amphetamines, methamphetamines, and ephedrine, may be harmful because of the combined effects of the drugs on the cardiovascular system.
Additionally, consuming large amounts of caffeine can worsen the side effects of pseudoephedrine.
Pseudoephedrine can be found in several different forms and strengths depending on the medication, including capsules, 12- or 24-hour extended-release tablets, and liquid solutions.
Use pseudoephedrine only as directed.
Pseudoephedrine overdose typically results in neurologic and cardiovascular anomalies, such as convulsions, changes in breathing and heart rate, and hallucinations.
If you experience a pseudoephedrine overdose, get help from a poison control center or the nearest emergency hospital room as soon as possible. Call 911 if someone has collapsed or isn't breathing after overdosing.
Pseudoephedrine should be taken as needed for symptomatic relief. Take a missed dose when you remember it and adjust your dosing schedule accordingly; don't double your doses.

We all like to read about genealogy "happy dance" moments!
From my dear friend Rosanne Leeson (Los Altos, California), comes this delightful email. She wants everyone to be as happy as she is now after watching the Matthew Broderick episode of "Who Do You Think You Are?" and following a clue on the show to the solution to a Civil War family mystery.
Her family arrived very early in the USA (pre-Civil War) and she is an experienced and seasoned researcher of her Jewish family.
Wow! I am sitting here with tears in my eyes!
I have just had my first benefit from watching the "Who Do You Think You Are?" show!
Saw the last one with Matthew Broderick, when he finds his great-great's grave in the Marietta GA National Cemetery. I never even knew that such a cemetery existed, or that they had moved Union dead there from Atlanta.
I had been hoping for ages to find out what ever happened to my great-grandmother's youngest brother, who she had brought over to the US from Bavaria in the early 1860's. I had gotten his record from NARA, knew when and where he had died (in a hospital in Atlanta of miliary fever).
Had asked someone in Atlanta to try to find out what had happened to his body. The only answer I got was that they had probably thrown his remains into a common or pauper's grave. NICE!
He had only been in the US a short time, spoke very little English, but signed up to fight for the Union cause in NY, where my great-grandparents were living. He was 20 years old when he died. I always felt so sad that there was no closure for any of the family descendants.
Then I learned about the Marietta National Cemetery. Got online and found not only history of it, but a list of those buried there. BINGO! Great-Grand-uncle found!
I just called the cemetery and the gentleman was wonderful. They are sending out someone to see if he had a stone and, if so, to photograph it for me, and send in a week. He said that he thought there might be a stone or his name would not have been on the list. If not, I will order one. No fee for a picture! Their duty and pleasure to add closure after nearly 150 years!
Rosanne, a semi-retired librarian, is a consummate genealogist, specializing in Romania (RomSIG) and Alsace (has translated many records and visited over the years). She's also vice president of the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society.
What this points up is that even very experienced researchers can learn something every day!
We never know when a ray of sunshine will illuminate that lost record that has eluded us for decades. We never know when a resource may provide a missing link.
I'm sure all Tracing the Tribe readers join me in congratulating Rosanne on her achievement, and congratulating WDYTYA on providing the clue.
Our well-known colleague Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak noted this post in her most recent Huffington Post article. Thanks, Megan.

Our Hottest Innovation In Shaving Shop Heated Razor
For a more traditional wet-shave experience, the Lavender Shaving Soap generates a rich, proper lather that assists in razor glide to prevent irritation and burn. Formulated with glycerin and coconut oil, the shaving soap is best when used with a shaving brush and hot water. The lather will protect the skin and softens the beard while providing an extremely close shave.
Always shave during or after a hot shower. Wet a Badger Shaving Brush with hot water and whisk it over the surface of the soap to generate a rich lather. Apply lather on the face and shave with the grain. For a closer shave, re-lather and shave lightly across or against the grain. Rinse with cold water and apply After-Shave Balm.

Growing up, kids are taught to pose and smile when they're in front of a camera. We want them to look cute. Problem is, kids aren't always cute. They can also be a real pain in the ass.
Photographer Jan von Holleben knows that and avoids this photographic trap by letting his young subjects be their loud, creative and sometimes obnoxious selves.
The typical kid photo caters to a "certain kind of people who romanticize childhood and who want to have it in a safe bubble," says von Holleben, who is based in Berlin, Germany. "Personally I find it limiting because childhood is much more complicated."
Von Holleben's most well-known work is called Dreams of Flying (above) and features a group of kids from his old neighborhood in Sasbach, Germany. The kids play out make-believe scenarios while lying on the ground while von Holleben photographs them from a ladder, car rooftop or second story window. The top-down perspective allows the kids to free themselves from gravity and pretend like they're climbing the empire state building, flying through space or swinging through the jungle like Tarzan.
When he started the project, von Holleben had been studying 19th-century photography and was disappointed with the way children back then – as they still are today – were often turned into caricatures of themselves. He wondered what would happen if kids had the chance to represent their own interests and control how they were photographed.
"I decided I would bring the photographic [technical] knowledge and they would bring the childhood knowledge," he says.
Before each shoot von Holleben says he had a pitch meeting with the kids. After an idea was agreed upon, kids were then assigned to help create the scene, build the props and deal with the styling. Von Holleben always took the picture and made the initial edit but wouldn't settle on a final image until he had the kids' approval.
"I wanted the kids themselves to take part. I wanted their feedback and I wanted them as collaborators," he says.
Started in 2002, the project took off after it featured on a series of blogs in 2003. The images spread and before he knew it von Holleben says he was being contacted by magazines and advertising firms that liked his approach. For the next five years he continued to work on the flying project but has also created a number of other series that build on his style.
Dreams of Flying is Photoshop-free and to this day von Holleben says he keeps all his work completely analog. He remembers his kid subjects figuring out ways to make fish from socks and says it inspired him to find creative ways to get around digital editing.
That's been a continuing challenge because after becoming popular, he's received a number of commissions that have asked him to create scenes that might usually be done by an illustrator. His most recent project, for example, is a children's book called Does Everybody Get Puberty? It's a response to a survey that allowed kids to ask all the questions they had about physical development as well as about related subjects like love and intimacy.
Some of the questions he took on with his photographs included: What do I have to eat for my breasts to grow? What can I do if a girl loves me but I don't love her back? And his favorite: Do babies fart in the womb?
The photos he came up with for the book were paired with text as a way to round out the explanation, but he always tried to devise a unique way to use visuals as an entry point.
"[My assistants and I] are doing jobs that no other photographer would do because they are a hybrid between photography and illustration," he says. "We've gotten good at resolving topics that are quite abstract."
Von Holleben believes that one of the reasons his work has resonated with a lot of different audiences is because he's always prioritized the notion of fun. He's fascinated with the theory of Homo Ludens, which is based on a book of the same title written by the Dutch cultural theorist Johan Huizinga. It argues broadly that play is a central element of society and culture.
Even when he's working on a project with adults, which now happens quite a bit, he says he likes to have them try and evoke the same sense of playfulness that fills the pictures in Dreams of Flying.
"Adults can learn a lot from kids and they can learn from being playful," he says.

A lot of decisions will affect the future value of your portfolio — which investments you buy, how much you concentrate your portfolio into those investments, and when you decide to sell them. But it all starts with one very important question: How much risk are you going to take? For most investors, that question begins to be answered with the decision of how much they'll put in the stock market, and how much to keep safer in cash and bonds.
Choosing the right stock/bond mix
The amount of your portfolio you keep out of the stock market is determined by four factors.
1. When you'll need the money
If the purpose for which you're investing is on the horizon — within the next three to five years — then keep that money in cash, certificates of deposit, or a short-term bond fund. From 1926 to 2011, stocks beat bonds in 60 percent of one-year periods, according to Ibbotson Associates. That percentage increases as the number of years measured increases. So, depending on how firm your need for the money, and the flexibility of the timing of your goal, the more money you should keep out of stocks.
2. Your risk tolerance based on history
The term "risk tolerance" gets thrown around so much that it's become almost meaningless, especially since risk means different things to different people. In the context of deciding your stock/bond mix, risk generally means how much of a decline can you stand before you can stand no more — at which point you sell your stocks after a significant drop.
But another aspect of risk is the uncertainty of future returns, and thus the uncertainty of whether you'll have enough money to do what you want. While stocks have historically outperformed bonds over the past 80-plus years, the record is not quite as definitive when returns are broken up by decade. The table below shows the compound average annual returns of different mixes of large-cap U.S. stocks and long-term government bonds over the past four decades, as well as the worst one-year return for each allocation since 1926.
|Worst One-Year Return
|100% stocks/0% bonds
|70% stocks/30% bonds
|50% stocks/50% bonds
|30% stocks/70% bonds
|0% stocks/100% bonds
Source: Ibbotson Associates
The more bonds are added, the more the range of returns is narrowed — on the upside and the downside. If you spend some time gazing at that table, you may get a better feel for the mix of stocks and bonds that is right for you.
3. What you really did
The Great Recession, during which stock markets dropped by half or more from October 2007 to March 2009, was a frightening time to be an investor. But like many times of tribulation, it offered us an opportunity to learn more about ourselves. In this case, you learned about your real-life risk tolerance — what you'd really do when the economy and markets are collapsing. Did you hold on, buy more, or sell? If the latter, did you get back into the market before it rebounded by more than 100 percent? What you did during those dark days says a lot about how much risk you can really stand. Because make no mistake: The stock market will tank again; we just don't know when.
4. Your other assets and sources of income
There are other factors to consider when determining the riskiness of your portfolio:
- Your job: If you're still working, the security and variability of your present and future income might play into your investment portfolio. If you have a reliable job with steady pay, you can take more risk. However, if your income is variable and unpredictable, you might want to play it a bit safer with your portfolio. Also, we hope it goes without saying that you shouldn't have more than 5 percent of your portfolio in company stock.
- The amount of other income: Most Americans will receive some Social Security, which will provide a foundation (however modest) of retirement income that will be immune to market fluctuations. But you may have other sources of income that are at least partially independent of the stock and bond markets, such as a defined-benefit pension, annuity, trust, rents or business income. The more of this income you expect — and the more reliable that income will be — the more risk you can take with your investments.
The bondage bottom line
Given that interest rates are at lows not seen in decades, bonds are not very compelling these days. Many investors argue that it's much less compelling to own bonds yielding 3 percent when you can buy stocks with the same yield, and get potential capital gains and dividend growth to boot. But stocks will always fall victim to large declines; the extent that your plans and your stomach can't tolerate such drops is the extent to which your portfolio should be out of stocks.

Expunging Juvenile Records
Juvenile Record Expungement Clinics
- April 17, 2020 - Vernal
See the Utah Board of Juvenile Justice's flyer for details - PDF
Expunging a juvenile record does not change history; expunging a record means that the court orders the records of the juvenile court and related records of state, county and local government agencies to be sealed. Sealing a record means that the public cannot view or copy the record. The order to seal records applies only to government agencies. Other records, such as news accounts of an arrest or conviction, are not affected.
If an agency does not receive the expungement order, they are not required to seal their records. A government agency that has received an expungement order will respond to an inquiry as though that incident did not occur. A person who has had records expunged may respond to an inquiry as though that incident did not occur. The juvenile in the original case is the petitioner in the expungement case.
Criteria for Expungement of Juvenile Records
A person may petition the court for the expungement of their juvenile record, including any related records in the custody of a state or local government agency, if the person is at least 18 and one year has passed from the date of:
- termination of juvenile court jurisdiction; or
- the person's unconditional release from the custody of the Division of Juvenile Justice Services.
The court may waive the above requirements if the court finds that waiver is appropriate.
The court cannot expunge the petitioner's juvenile record if:
- the record contains an adjudication for murder or aggravated murder; or
- the petitioner has been convicted as an adult of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or
- an adult felony or misdemeanor case against the petitioner is pending or is being started; or
- restitution has not been paid.
A petitioner who has been convicted as an adult may have their juvenile records expunged after expunging their adult criminal records.
If a person's juvenile court record consists only of non-judicial adjustments, the court may expunge the records without a hearing, but the person must follow the other procedures for a Petition to Expunge Records.
Criminal History Report
Before filing a Petition to Expunge Records, the petitioner must first obtain their adult Criminal History Report (publicsafety.utah.gov) from the Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI - publicsafety.utah.gov) of the Utah Department of Public Safety. The petitioner requests the report from BCI. There is a fee for the report. The judge might require that you file a criminal history report from the other communities in which you have lived.
Petition to Expunge Records
The petitioner must file the petition in the juvenile court that handled the original juvenile court case. The petitioner must attach to the petition the original Criminal History Report from the Bureau of Criminal Identification.
The petitioner must identify any agencies known or thought to have records related to the offense for which expungement is being sought. There is a fee to file the petition, unless it is waived by the court.
Serving the Petition
The petitioner must send the petition on the office of the prosecutor who handled the original juvenile court case.
The court schedules a hearing and notifies the petitioner, the county attorney or district attorney, the juvenile court's probation department, and the government agencies named by the petitioner as having custody of related records. The court will also notify the victim if the victim has requested notice. The notice to the victim includes a copy of the petition and the statutes and rules that apply. At the hearing, the petitioner, the prosecutor, the victim, and any other person who has relevant information may testify. If a person's juvenile court record consists only of non-judicial adjustments, the court may expunge the records without a hearing.
Order to Expunge Records
If the court finds that:
- the petitioner is 18 or older;
- it has been at least one year since termination of the court's jurisdiction (or one year since the person's unconditional release from the custody of the Division of Juvenile Justice Services);
- the petitioner has not been convicted as an adult of a felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;
- there is no adult felony or misdemeanor case against the petitioner pending or being started;
- restitution has been paid; and
- the petitioner has been rehabilitated, taking into consideration the petitioner's response to programs and treatment, the petitioner's behavior after adjudication, and the nature and seriousness of the conduct,
then the court will grant the petition and enter an order to expunge the petitioner's juvenile records held by any state, county, or local government entity.
Once the expungement order has been entered, the petitioner's earlier juvenile court proceedings are considered never to have occurred, and the petitioner may respond to an inquiry as though that incident did not occur.
Certified Copies of the Order
If an agency does not receive the expungement order, they are not required to seal their records. Petitioner must deliver the order to any agencies with relevant records. Petitioner should get as many certified copies of the order as there are agencies with records. Petitioner should get the certified copies as soon as the order is entered and before the case is sealed. Petitioner can get copies of the order after the case is sealed only by a petition to unseal the record. There is a fee for each certified copy, unless it is waived by the court.
Petitioner may pick up certified copies of the expungement order at the courthouse or have them mailed. To have certified copies mailed, send a request for a specific number of copies to the clerk of the court and include a 9" x 12" self-addressed envelope with sufficient return postage. (Note that large envelopes and multiple copies require additional postage.)
Sealing Records
Expunged records are not necessarily destroyed. Expunged court records are placed in an envelope which is securely sealed. The clerk records the case number and record classification on the envelope and inscribes across the sealed part of the envelope the words "Not to be opened except upon permission of the court." The court record might eventually be destroyed in accordance with the court's Record Retention Schedule. An agency receiving the expungement order must seal or otherwise restrict public access to the relevant records in its possession or expunge all references to the petitioner's name in the records. The court cannot control destruction of agency records.
The court in which the order is entered will automatically seal all related court records. If anyone inquires about the expunged record, the clerk will respond as though the incident did not occur. To have the records of a government agency sealed, the petitioner must deliver a certified copy of the expungement order on the agency. These might include:
- the arresting agency
- prosecutor's office
- Division of Juvenile Justice Services
- Division of Child and Family Services, including their Management Information System and Licensing Information System;
- schools; or
- Driver License Division.
There may be other agencies with records. If an agency does not receive the expungement order, they are not required to seal their records. If requested, the clerk will provide addresses for agencies within the jurisdiction of the court. For other agencies, the petitioner must find the correct address. Some agencies that might have records are listed in the next section.
If you traveled across state lines or had supervision in another state while under Utah court jurisdiction, on probation, or while in JJS custody or DCFS custody, you likely have a record with the Juvenile Interstate Data System. In addition, if you ran away from the State of Utah and were placed in another State's detention/holding facility, you likely have a record with the Juvenile Interstate Data System. If the Judge grants your request for expungement you may submit a copy of the order to the Utah Interstate Compact Office. (Contact the office by calling 801-578-3857 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.) The Utah Interstate Compact Office will delete the records that are under their control. If you had interactions with other States, you will have to contact those States directly to ask about expungement of your records.
A government agency or official who has received an expungement order will respond to an inquiry as though that incident did not occur. A government agency or official who has received an expungement order may not divulge information identifying the petitioner.
Agency Contact Information
To have the records of any other agency sealed, the petitioner must deliver a certified copy of the expungement order on the agency. The following links are to webpages that list some agencies which may have records.
- Utah County and City Government (utah.gov)
- County Attorneys (upc.state.ut.us)
- Utah Law Enforcement Agencies (the911site.com)
- Utah State Agencies (utah.gov)
- Utah Courts
- Utah Interstate Compact office 801-578-3857 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Continued use of Sealed Records
After the records have been sealed, they may be inspected only with a court order. Only the petitioner may petition the court to permit the records to be inspected.

Cook the Book: Artichokes Basted with Anchovy Butter
Over the past few years grilled vegetables have become a barbecue staple. Bell peppers, onions, artichokes, tomatoes and eggplant, charred and tossed with some olive oil, salt and pepper are becoming rivals to classic summer sides like potato salad cole slaw. They are quick, easy and pretty healthy but is it just me or are they a little, well, boring?
This recipe for Artichokes Basted with Anchovy Butter from Adam Perry Lang's Serious Barbecue takes already delicious grilled summer artichokes a step further with the addition of anchovy garlic butter. Not everyone loves anchovies but they are excellent for adding a super savory depth of flavor and the end result is not at all fishy.
Win Serious Barbecue
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Serious Barbecue to give away this week.
- Yield:8
- For the seasoned butter:
- 8 tablespoons (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 salted anchovy fillets, rinsed, and finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled, halved, germ removed, and grated on a Microplane grater
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon finely ground fresh black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- For the artichokes:
- 8 medium globe artichokes, 10 to 12 ounces each
- 3 to 4 lemons, halved and seeds removed
- Kosher salt, for salting the water
- About 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
- About 1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Fleur de sel
Preheat all grates of a well-oiled gas or charcoal grill to high.
Combine all of the butter ingredients together and set aside
Carefully remove the pan from the grill. Using a spoon, scoop the fuzzy choke from each of the halves. Transfer the cleaned halves to a new sheet pan. Using your hands or a brush, evenly, but lightly, coat both sides of the artichokes with canola oil.
Place the artichokes, cut side down, on the grate and grill until well marked and lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and repeat on the second side, grilling for 2 to 3 minutes. While still cut side up, place about 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in each of the cavities and allow it to melt. Squeeze lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with parsley and fleur de sel.
Remove the artichokes from grill and arrange on a serving platter.
