Unverified Voracity Wears Fedora
Unverified Voracity Wears Fedora
Men wearing hats. And bandanas.
LS&A magazine collects Bentley photos of old-timey Michigan games to the present-day to examine what people wore to the things. This is from 1936; I think I recognize the guy in the glasses in the front row.
Don't look at the Ark, dude.
Things didn't really fall off a cliff until the 80s.
Probably DFW on the left there. Probably.
All the Kwiatkowski features. The AD must have offered people free nachos for articles about senior walk-on TE and MGoFave-Rave Mike Kwiatkowski, because you can't throw a rock this week without dinging one on the head. The Daily version:
It's fine to recognize how unlikely it is that Kwiatkowski rose from regular student to scholarship starter in a matter of three years — but don't call him a walk-on.
"I actually despise that label," Kwiatkowski said. "Because like you said, there's been a number of (walk-ons) who have played, and just because you weren't given a scholarship doesn't mean you aren't as capable. Obviously there's some exceptions to that, of people who walk on and don't end up playing.
"I guess that's the rule, if anything."
Er. Senior Brain, Behavior, and Cognitive Science major Mike Kwiatkowski. MLive also features Kwiatkowski.
Denard QB controversy stuff. There's really no controversy, everyone strains to point out; unfortunately it seems like there's really no expectation it'll even be relevant. This is where we're at:
If Denard Robinson can't go, Hoke will consider single, symbolic play
That would be something I would think about, but to be honest with you," Hoke said. "The seniors and the guys and the people who are truly Michigan fans, I think they understand the significance he's had."
He was asked about using Robinson in another role Saturday. The injury has caused numbness in his right hand and made it difficult to grip the football.
"Oh, I don't know," Hoke said on 97.1. "The health of him and all those things are what we're concerned about."
At this point I'm not expecting him against Iowa, except in that ceremonial role. If it's two weeks on from the Nebraska game and he's still throwing ducks in warmups, as he was before the Northwestern game, it doesn't seem likely he'll get better before the bowl game, if then. John Niyo:
…chances are, we've seen the last of Robinson as Michigan's starting quarterback. The ulnar nerve injury that has sidelined him since the first half of an Oct. 27 loss at Nebraska takes weeks to heal, if not months, or surgery. And coach Brady Hoke's cat-and-mouse games with the media notwithstanding, that reality — along with Robinson's NFL prospects — figures to leave the senior stuck in this new dual-threat role: as an extra coach and cheerleader on the sideline while Devin Gardner succeeds him under center.
At least Gardner is doing well, the considerable silver lining in pretty much the worst way for Denard to go out.
Halfway to a final verdict thing. The MZone's Season Tickets vs Stubhub feature concludes with resounding victory for the scalper, especially for primo seats which could be had at a 40% markdown on the secondary market. This is the easy year, though: a home schedule featuring Nebraska/ND/Ohio State is not likely to end up with the scalper in the black. How close will a two-year total be? Tune in next year to find out.
I'm guessing it'll be pretty close to break-even overall, but once you take the ND game out of the equation… well, Arkansas probably isn't going to cut it.
Talking with Mo. MVictors sits down with Gary Moeller:
One of the greatest times I had after I came back was when we watched Michigan football together in the press box. One day up there I found out how much he truly loved this university. He said, "Hey Mo, come here. I wanna show you something." The band was already out on the field and the players were coming out of the tunnel, and they're playing The Victors and all that stuff. Bo said, "Now there—isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life? Look at the fans, look at band and look at this team coming out here. That's what Michigan is all about." It was as though he was just painting a portrait that was in his mind of something that he was so proud of.
"One of the greatest times I had after I came back was when we watched Michigan football together in the press box. He said, 'hey, come here' and told me to listen to this generic Nickelback ripoff cheese by a band named Porpville or something. Bo said 'Now there—isn't that the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life?' Then Zombie Nation came on, and we wept in each others' arms."
-conversation that did not happen
Iowa: not good. Win percentage chart from the Purdue game showing how Iowa stayed in the game:
It may not be much of a comfort to anyone, but Iowa was actually very fortunate to lose to Purdue on a last-second field goal. Or to put it another way, Iowa was lucky to be in the game at all. If Purdue could have just gotten out of its own way on a couple of occasions, they would have won by two touchdowns or more. Every time it looked like the Boilermakers were going to go ahead decisively, they managed to make an egregious blunder -- a fumble, a penalty, a missed field goal -- that kept Iowa inexplicably and unjustly still in the game. If we look at the win probability chart for the game, we can see exactly where these moments occurred (WP here refers to Iowa's chances of winning):
That's how you lose by a field goal despite getting outgained almost 2 to 1.
Tie that running back to the train tracks. Northwestern defensive lineman Sean McEvilly: we need to have a talk.
Sir. You are named Sean McEvilly. You do not pronounce this like you are Scottish adverbial evil, nor do you have a luxuriously nefarious mustache. In fact you look about as evil as a schnauzer.
I'm nice.
Also, what is the deal with this?
Good attitude on the practice field.
This should read "conspires to tie pretty debutantes to Venric Mark." At least you are majoring in economics.
I'm sure you feel, like I do, that this is a missed opportunity. Look at Jake Ryan: he grows his hair out and becomes Clay Mathews. To ensure a ticket to the NFL, you need one of these:
Please acquire one posthaste and accept the internet glory that surely awaits.
This isn't Canisius anymore, Toto. Michigan can throw it up, and someone can catch it and rain thunder down. This is… intriguing for John Beilein:
The alley-oop: the most exciting play in basketball.
For the first time in his 35 years of coaching, Beilein now incorporates the alley-oops into his practices.
"I realize it's a really good play," he noted Monday, pausing before he finished, "if you have athletes."
"…I have just discovered that men like Glenn Robinson III exist, and whoah."
Policework objection. BWS takes on the long Mark option discussed in the defensive UFR:
before the ball is even snapped, you can see a huge problem: Michigan is badly outnumbered to the boundary side of the field. From the offensive center toward the boundary, Michigan has only four defenders. Nebraska has four men on the line of scrimmage, Colter, and Mark. There's absolutely no way Michigan can defend this play toward the sideline.
It's tough, sure, but doable. I clipped this exact play a bit later and Michigan executed better. Beyer and Kovacs combined to impact Mark near the LOS; the pile fell forward for four.
Also note Ross's presence. The key is for that defensive end to stay on the LOS and widen out. Beyer at the pitch on the first one versus the second:
Beyer doesn't get as far upfield, is a step or two further outside, and is turned to chase on the pitch, which gets him to the back as Kovacs contains. Michigan's alignment there can get the job done, and if you don't slide to the field they'll have opportunities out there. That's what the spread does—requires you to make plays without the advantage of numbers. Michigan's trying to get that back by using the sideline as their 12th guy.
One of Michigan's main issues against the option in this one was the defensive ends giving themselves up one for one quickly. We saw them get a little better at that as the day went on; they'll have to rep it a lot next week in preparation for Ohio State.
Etc.: Northwestern analyzes its doom, needs bigger screenshots. Classic Ufer nicknames. Super Toe! The only Iranian I know who wears cowboy boots! For best results, play Indiana. Rich Rodriguez on Denard. Orange Bowl contract finalized, ND gets significantly less than everyone else if they participate. Senior salute from M&GB. Holdin' The Rope on Denard.

Researchers in the Human Development Section (HDS) of the Medical Genetics Branch study the genetics, genomics and molecular biology of normal and abnormal human development, with special emphasis on the brain, skull and heart, and on reproductive health and behavior. Specific diseases include holoprosencephaly (HPE); attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); craniosynostosis, specifically Muenke syndrome; congenital heart disease; fatty liver disease; sex chromosome anomalies, such as Turner syndrome; and premature ovarian insufficiency.
Over the past 20 years, this group has discovered numerous genes contributing to HPE, including the first and best-known gene, Sonic Hedgehog, initially found in fruit flies and named for the prickly appearance it gives them. This work has aided understanding of how the brain develops in humans. In addition to HPE, a midline brain disorder, several genes involved in normal and abnormal formation of the heart midline were identified. These findings have now led to an ongoing multi-nation interest and collaboration in congenital heart disease.
In addition to brain and heart research, the Muenke lab identified several genes important in craniofacial disorders, including the most common, craniosynostosis syndrome - now called Muenke syndrome. More recently, this lab has pinpointed regions in the genome (susceptibility loci) for the most common behavioral disorder in childhood, ADHD, and is now focused on research that predicts the severity, a better treatment response, and long-term outcome in ADHD. The section uses a number of technologies, including next-generation genome sequencing, and mouse and zebrafish animal models to investigate normal and abnormal development in humans.
Dr. Max Muenke obtained his undergraduate and M.D. degree from the Free University School of Medicine in Berlin. He then pursued residency training in the Department of Pediatrics of the Christian-Albrecht University in Kiel in his native Germany. Dr. Muenke was awarded a three-year scholarship from the German Research Foundation to work with Dr. Uta Francke in the Human Genetics Department at Yale. Following this research fellowship, he completed training at the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) with Dr. Elaine Zackai in Clinical Genetics and research training as a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Associate with Dr. Robert Nussbaum. From 1990-97 he served on the faculty of the Departments of Pediatrics and Human Genetics at Penn where he was awarded tenure in 1996.
In 1997, he joined the intramural program of National Human Genome Research Institute at NIH as the Head of the Human Development Section, and since 2000 as Chief of the Medical Genetics Branch. Dr. Muenke has directed medical genetics training since 1993, first at CHOP/Penn and since 1997 at NIH. The focus of his research has been on the delineation and identification of the underlying causes of craniofacial anomalies in humans. His lab made seminal discoveries in linking Sonic Hedgehog signaling to normal and abnormal brain development in humans. His group identified several genes important in craniofacial disorders, including the most common, craniosynostosis syndrome, now called Muenke syndrome.
More recently, his lab has identified susceptibility loci for ADHD, with further research focused on predicting severity, treatment response and long-term outcome. Dr. Muenke is passionate about training the next generation of leaders in the field of genetics and genomics, and he finds the work with families affected by genetic / genomic disorders as one of the most rewarding aspects of his professional career.

The following is a recipe for an ancient beverage known as mead. This one is a beer version similar to the one s drank by my ancestors on feast days. The color, flavor, head thickness, and nose of this beer depend entirely on three things: water quality, yeast variety, and the honey used. Your success in even getting beer is almost entirely dependent on cleanliness.
For almost a pint you will need:
2 sterile mason jars with 1 pint capacity
just shy of 2 cups of room temperature, boiled spring water
2 tbs of any dark organic honey, raw is preferred
a very tiny pinch of the beer or bread yeast of your choice
a little simple syrup
a 2 lb weight
Fill the jar with honey and water to within an inch of top, stir to dissolve.
Float yeast on top of the liquid, put jar somewhere dark and dry with lid disk but not the ring. Weight it down so gases can escape, but the weight keeps air from getting in. Check the jar daily until it stops bubbling/burping then pour off into a second sterile jar and add about a teaspoon of simple syrup. Cap with the ring and age for three weeks in a cool dry dark place.
Enjoy with friends. Multiply this recipe as needed for more beer.
There will be sediment, there is always some in homemade alcohols that haven't been put through a still.
Zero Aggression Principle
I've always wondered how mead tasted....thanks for the recipe! :)
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
No problem. That was just the first beer recipe I perfected. I intend to post a recipe for real American Moonshine too. Of course there will be a legal disclaimer and cautions on safety. As a moonshiner who has never poisoned anyone, I think my recipe is the safest. Moonshine in general has a bad reputation, but it is just another whiskey/whisky. In the US you need a license, and in NZ it is legal to make x amount for yourself, etc...
Anyway, that Beer mead has a generally low %ABV (Alcohol By Volume) if you use bread yeast or American strains of ale yeast. You might be able to take it with a lunch of yakatori or sandwiches at the park. A large picnic type of thing.
Make a few jars for a party, it'll take about 2 months. Moonshine takes about 3 weeks, and I'll post the recipe soon.
Thank you Maki for making this site, It's the best food forum I've ever seen.

Author Notes: Twenty years ago an English friend, Hammond Pruitt, posted a short description of a roast lamb he had fixed for a dinner party that he stuffed with blue cheese and mint. He didn't have a recipe, it was something he invented on the spot, but it sounded so good I had to try it and developed a recipe. It's a perfect example of simple often being best. —Kevin
Serves: 8
boned leg of lamb
pound blue cheese - crumbled (I prefer Point Reyes)
bunch mint - chiffonade (about 1/2 cup)
lg shallot - peeled, cut in half length-ways and sliced thinly
Salt and pepper
cup red wine
cup pine nuts - finely ground*
In This Recipe
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Trim most of the fat from the roast, pound it flat and season interior with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with all but 3 tablespoons of cheese and then mint, and shallots. Roll up and tie with twine.
- Season exterior with salt and pepper, wrap completely in heavy aluminum foil, and roast until internal temperature is 130 degrees. Fold foil back from roast, increase heat to 450 degrees, and cook until browned on top and internal temp is 140 degrees. I highly recommend a digital probe thermometer.
- Remove roast from oven and drain juices into a sauce pan. Loosely re-cover with foil and allow to rest.
- Reduce roast juices in half over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high, add wine, and reduce to previous level. Stir in pine nut flour and continue cooking until sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and stir in remaining blue cheese.
- Slice roast and serve topped with sauce.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for The Recipe You Want To Be Remembered For

Thad Komorowski has posted a version of "Blame It On the Samba" (from Melody Time) that identifies the animators. The identifications come from JB Kaufman's book South of the Border With Disney.
This has always been a favorite film of mine and it's great to learn that the most spirited animation in it was done by Hal King and Les Clark. Now that so many animator drafts are surfacing, the history of Disney animation needs to be rewritten with much less emphasis on the Thomas-Johnston-Kahl contingent.

I agree with you. We need to celebrate all of the lesser-known animators as well. Kahl, Thomas, and Johnston were all great animators, but not the only ones. I love hearing about these other animators. To me, their work is just as good as any of the Nine Old Men. Thank you for posting this.

And other late-night happenings
It was a bad Saturday night in our little neighborhood.
During the night, our volunteer fire department and two others fought a fire that involved a home and an unoccupied trailer house. It appears to have been set on purpose.
Also during the night, a tobacco barn burned to the ground (photo above). It's in yet another volunteer fire department's district. The smoldering sawdust and slabs at the bottom of the barn got too hot and ignited the entire building.
Every fall, a couple of tobacco barns burn, but it must be sickening for a farmer to get a phone call in the night that a summer of work is going up in smoke. I hope the owner of the tobacco in this barn had insurance. I hope the barn owner did, too.
The telephone line got hot enough in the barn fire that dozens of homes lost telephone service around 11:30 p.m. The phone was dead until about 6 p.m. today.
Sometime during the night, someone did an unsuccessful three-point turn at our mailbox on the highway. The car was abandoned with three wheels on solid ground and the fourth wheel deep down in the ditch.
Unaware of the happenings in the neighborhood, I was helping Dennis in and out of bed. Our intervals of sleep ranged from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Even newborn babies sleep better than Dennis does right now, but he can't help it. He would certainly sleep through the night and get out of bed on his own if he could.

(CNN) -- An Illinois woman and her boyfriend, already charged with aiding in the abduction of the woman's 6-year-old grandson, face new charges of tampering with a witness in the case, officials said Tuesday.
Ricky Chekevdia, 6, allegedly was hidden with his mother in a secret room in his grandmother's house.
Diane Dobbs and Robert Sandefur, both 51, are in jail pending the filing of formal charges in the case, said Beth Sandusky, victim services coordinator for the state attorney's office in Franklin County, Illinois.
The two were charged previously with aiding and abetting child abduction, a felony, according to Sandusky and court records.
They were released from jail on bond Monday, but were back in custody within hours, according to ABC News and CNN affiliate WSIL.
Last week, authorities found Ricky Chekevdia, Dobbs' grandson, at her home. The boy was hiding along with his mother, Shannon Wilfong, in a secret room built to hide them -- an area about 5 feet by 12 feet, with a 4-foot ceiling, according to WSIL.
Police say the boy had been hidden for nearly two years.
Wilfong, 30, is jailed on felony child abduction charges and made her first court appearance Tuesday, Sandusky said.
"We let him out of the car and he ran around like he'd never seen the outdoors," Master Sgt. Stan Diggs with the Illinois State Police told WSIL. "It was actually very sad."
In an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday, before she was arrested, Dobbs disputed the accusation that Ricky was hidden in the small room, saying that in two years he spent "maybe five minutes" there.
"My grandson had the run of the house," she said. "When we were outside, we would go fishing, we would do weenie roasts. We've done fireworks on the Fourth of July. He's helped me plant my flower garden in the back."
She said she would not plead guilty to the charges. "We were on our own and we had to do what we had to do and that was make sure our grandson was safe," Dobbs said.
Sandusky would not comment on the pending charges against Dobbs and Sandefur or identify the witness. However, a woman told WSIL she called police after Dobbs and Sandefur came onto her property and threatened her son's life.
Diggs told WSIL that Ricky is "in very good spirits for someone who's been isolated in that house. ... He's a very, very social, very polite, very talkative little boy."
Wilfong and Ricky's father, Michael Chekevdia, had battled over custody since Ricky was born in 2002, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. They initially had joint custody, Chekevdia told the newspaper, but Wilfong would often fail to bring the boy for weekends or scheduled meetings, then in 2007 failed to show up for visitation hearings. A judge granted Chekevdia temporary custody, but by then Wilfong and the boy had disappeared. They were reported missing in November, and in December, prosecutors charged Wilfong with felony child abduction.
Wilfong and Dobbs had accused Chekevdia of sexually abusing the boy, but authorities have said those allegations are unfounded, the Post-Dispatch said.
Leaving court Tuesday, a tearful Wilfong denied any wrongdoing to reporters, and accused Chekevdia of making lewd comments about the child. She added that the boy feared returning to his father.
But Chekevdia told WSIL that Wilfong and her family are "accusing me unjustly."
"I was the best father I could be given the time that I had with him," he said.
Ricky was taken into Illinois Department of Children and Family Services custody, and is staying with his father's family under child welfare supervision, WSIL said. The department declined comment.
Chekevdia told the station he got to see his son smile for the first time at a Labor Day parade. "It was just a wonderful feeling to see a little boy that's been in that situation for so long enjoy himself," he said.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The No. 5 Yale Bulldogs will travel to Providence, R.I., on Saturday at 12 p.m. to face the No. 10 Brown Bears.
The Bulldogs (8-3, 2-2 Ivy) will look to recover from a 5-4 loss last Saturday on the road against No. 4 Princeton. The Bears (3-5, 0-3 Ivy) are coming off of back-to-back wins against No. 23 Bowdoin and No. 11 Bates.
Following Yale's loss to Princeton, the Bulldogs fell one spot in the latest CSA poll, from No. 4 to No. 5. Princeton replaced the Bulldogs at No. 4, moving up from the No. 7 slot.
Yale, which will be favored in this weekend's match, has only two regular-season matches remaining. Following Saturday's bout, the Bulldogs will return home to the Brady Squash Center for the Feb. 13 season finale against No. 1 Harvard, a match which will be video streamed live via Yale All-Access on yalebulldogs.com. While the Bulldogs are now out of Ivy League title contention, the team will look to finish the regular season strong before heading into Howe Cup play.
Schedule note: Yale's match vs. Columbia scheduled for Feb. 10 has been cancelled.

At INTERPOL, we support national police in tactical deployments in the field, aimed at breaking up the criminal networks behind trafficking in human beings and people smuggling.
Operations are preceded by training workshops to ensure that officers on the ground are trained in a range of skills, including specialist interview techniques and the use of specialized equipment.
Deployments effectively combine police action with input from a number of different sectors such as customs and environmental officers, non-governmental organizations, officials from the Ministries of Health and Social Affairs, and prosecutors.
Our Smuggling Training Operation Programme supports INTERPOL member countries in border management issues. In particular, STOP aims to detect organized criminal groups that provide stolen or lost travel documents to irregular migrants or individuals involved in organized crime.
At the heart of the project is the extension of access for police at strategic border points to INTERPOL's secure global police communications network (known as I-24/7). This allows officers to check passenger documents against the INTERPOL Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) Database.
This extended access is backed up by analytical training and operational support. This enhanced infrastructure provides immediate benefits during tactical deployments, along with a lasting legacy of improved operational capacity for the country in question.
Rwanda (2013)
During an operation at Kigali International Airport, Rwandan police checked more than 6,500 international arriving and departing traveller's identity documents against INTERPOL's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database.
Algeria (2012)
Organized in coordination with the General Directorate of National Safety of Algeria and the National Central Bureau in Algiers, 80 participants including police, border control, Gendarmerie and customs learned to use the SLTD database and other techniques for detecting fraudulent documents. The training was followed by an operation at the Algiers airport.
Italy (2011)
Operation Hammer was conducted in conjunction with Frontex, the European Union agency for external border security. Border police at the international airports of Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa checked 8,000 travel documents over four days, resulting in three positive matches.
See the Italy news story (10 November 2011)
Kenya (2011)
Some 40 police officers benefited from training in the use of INTERPOL's Stolen and Lost Travel Documents database, standard operational policy and procedures and techniques for passport verification. The operation itself took place at Nairobi airport in July 2011.
Benin (2011)
This operation at Cotonou international airport was preceded by two days of training provided to 36 officers from Benin's Immigration Police, Customs and Gendarmerie.
Philippines (2010)
During an operation at Manila International Airport in April 2010, more than 5,000 international arrivals and departures were instantly checked against the INTERPOL Stolen and Lost Travel Documents. A total of 50 Philippine police and immigration officers were trained on how to use INTERPOL's global tools and services.
Peru (2008)
Operation Anaconda, carried out at the international airport in Lima, Peru, saw more than 20,000 international arrivals and departures instantly checked against our Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database. The checks resulted in some 200 database matches which were then followed up by national law enforcement authorities.

Matrilineal Monday: New Information about Agnes Anderson
- born around 1884
- born potentially in Evansville, Missouri
- potential parents: Wm Anderson and Amanda Sparks
- stenographer for B&O Railroad at the time of her death
- died May 22, 1920
| Year: 1920; Census Place: Newark Ward 2, Licking, Ohio; Roll: T625_1404; Page: 3A;
Enumeration District: 151
|Year: 1910; Census Place: Newark Ward 2, Licking, Ohio; Roll: T624_1204; Page: 2B;
Enumeration District: 0081
Before the 1910, I can't really find Agnes with any certainty. I did find a potential record for Agnes in the 1900 US Census. This Agnes mentions being born in 1881 and both parents being from Sweden. There are only two other entries for an Agnes Anderson born in Missouri during the 1880-1890 time frame. One Agnes has parents names Mr & Mrs Walter Anderson. The father was born in Virginia and the mother Germany. The other Agnes has parents James and Agnes Anderson. The father was born in Ohio and the mother in Kansas. So, I'm really stumped. I've included the 1900 US Census index record for the potential Agnes Anderson with parents from Sweden.
|Year: 1900; Census Place: St Louis Ward 25, St Louis (Independent City),
Missouri; Roll: 899; Page: 13A; Enumeration District: 376
Recently, I had the idea of searching through the U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989 (Beta) on Ancestry.com. I had previously used this resource for numerous family members in Columbus, Ohio. (I wish there were City Directories for the smaller parts of Franklin County, Ohio that is not Columbus. I have a lot of 'county' residents on my family tree.) I wondered if Newark was a large enough town to warrant a City Directory. If it did, is the town large enough that Ancestry.com would have it available and indexed. To my pleasant surprise, Newark was available.
|Entry from the 1919 Newark, Ohio City Directory
Agnes is a sten. (Stenopgraher0 living at 58 Hudson Ave
I was able to find several entries for Agnes in the Newark City Directories. Instead of detailing each one, I'll show the timeline of my findings for Agnes in Newark, Licking, Ohio. I've added the Census information in burgandy and her life events in blue.
- abt 1883 - born in Missouri
- 1905 - 213 Hudson Ave, domestic
- 1907 - 294 N 4th, cashier, C L Conrad
- 1909 - 56 Clinton, cashier C L Conrad
- 1910 - Hudson, bookkeeper, Grocery
- 1911 - 58 Hudson, Bkp, C L Conrad (I'm assuming Bkp is bookkeeper)
- 1913 - 58 Hudson Ave, Steno for Licking Creamery Co.
- 1915 - 56 Clinton, Steno
- 1917 - 335 N 4th, Stenographer
- 1919 - 58 Hudson Ave, Stenographer
- Jan 1920 - Hudson Ave, Stenographer, B & O Railroad
- 22 May 1920 - died in Newark, Ohio
Having only the census records, I would have assumed that Agnes stayed in the same home from 1910 to 1920. However, the city directories showed that she moved around. Or did she? She's a young single woman. Would she give her residence to the city directory or where she worked?
I also see a pattern of improvement in employment. She's a domestic servant in 1905 at about age of 22. She becomes a cashier two years later. As it turns out C L Conrad is in reference to Charles L Conrad, a Wholesale & Retail Grocer at 35 Hudson Ave. Seems to me, Agnes tried to live around where she worked.
I kept wondering if there was a relative that she was living with at various times as well. However, there are no other Andersons in the Newark City Directory with common address. If I was to find other household members in the City Directory, I would need the capacity to search by address. I haven't a way to do that on Ancestry.com. So that mystery will have to wait until I have a) more time or b) technology makes it possible.
I still have many questions that remain unsolved. First, is the domestic I found in 1900 in Missouri the same Agnes as the one I'm searching for? Second, who are Agnes' parents? Third, Does Agnes have any additional family members? Fourth, where was Agnes buried?
Though Agnes is still elusive in many regards, thanks to the US Census records and the Newark City Directory, Agnes is coming out of the shadows into the light.
Update: The undertakers for Agnes, were the O'Shaughnessy Company. I'm going to see where their old records might be.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. (Feb. 7, 2005) - Despite 20 points from Lady Bucs senior forward Tiffani Mayes (Sumter, S.C) ETSU falls to 8-14, 6-9 SoCon with a 65-60 loss to Western Carolina this afternoon. Point guard B.J. Banjo (Baltimore, Md.) added 12 points in the loss.
ETSU struggled from both the free-throw line as well as from beyond the arc shooting just 18 and 54 percent respectively for the contest. Although the Lady Bucs had just 13 turnovers compared to the 20 of the Catamounts, and eight steals compared to the three of WCU, the offense never found the rhythm they needed for the win.
In addition to Jennifer Gardner's seventh double-double of the season, junior Teyawna Hardy added 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting and freshman guard Ashley Pellom poured in 10 for Western Carolina (10-12, 6-9 SoCon).
ETSU is back in action Saturday Feb. 12 when they welcome Appalachian State to Memorial Center for a 2:00 p.m. match-up. The game will be broadcast live via ETSUBucs.com on the Mountain States Health Alliance Buccaneer Sports Network with pre-game coverage beginning at 1:00 p.m.

GH6603, Revised February 2001
Money, frequently cited as the biggest source of stress in family life, is often an even more challenging matter for members of stepfamilies. About 50 percent of Americans will live in a stepfamily at some point in their lives, making money management in stepfamilies an important issue for many people. This guide will describe several reasons why stepfamily members often have very different views related to the use of money. It will also discuss some ways by which stepfamilies can manage their financial affairs successfully.
Although all families face a variety of financial tasks, such as preparing a budget, dealing with unforeseen expenses, and planning for the future, financial matters are often more complex in stepfamilies. Why is this so? This section will highlight some common characteristics of stepfamilies that can make financial decision making more complicated than in first-married families.
Husbands and wives often have differing attitudes and beliefs about family finances. In a remarriage, however, each partner contributes not only his or her own beliefs about money to the new relationship, but also past financial experiences and established habits of spending and saving money. It can be a major challenge for remarried spouses to merge their ideas into a system that is acceptable to both partners. If partners insist upon retaining the methods of handling money and making financial decisions that they used in other relationships, they may experience friction with their new spouses. Tension is especially likely if financial problems were a contributing factor in a previous divorce.
Another factor that can make managing money difficult for stepfamilies is having to divide resources between two or more families. Changes in income or expenses in the stepfamily will likely affect the financial situations of the households in which former spouses or non-residential children live. For example, additional money for the children's dental work may be requested by the custodial parent at the same time the non-custodial parent incurs the expense of repairing his roof. The cost of the dental work, combined with the roofing bill, may present a real financial challenge to the non-custodial parent. Also, some of the stepfamily's financial decisions may have to be based on the needs or wants of another household. For instance, plans to have a baby or go on a vacation may have to be postponed because the financial needs of a former spouse or non-residential child increase unexpectedly. Situations such as these usually make financial decision making more complicated.
Research has shown that families with a higher income function better as stepfamilies. This makes sense, as having more money helps eliminate a significant source of tension in the stepfamily. It can also reduce friction between households because there is more money available for the support of children and former spouses. However, when households have fewer financial resources, the potential for tension and conflict increases.
A third issue that often complicates financial functioning in stepfamilies is having to work with the legal system. The court assumes some of the financial decision making authority for parents by determining the amount of child support and the length of time it will be paid. By contrast, partners in first-married families are able to consider their needs and make financial decisions without having to account for policies established for them by a court.
Child support can be a challenging issue for many stepfamilies. Child support amounts set at the time of the divorce may be insufficient for children's needs several years down the road. Also, these payments may become too burdensome for the non-custodial parent who has lost a job, become ill, or had some type of family emergency. Although the amount of child support can be changed, legal action is required and this may be a time-consuming and costly process. One way to help prevent ongoing problems with child support and other financial issues involving children is to create a parenting plan. See the adjacent box, entitled "Parenting Plans," for more information.
Because providing for children's needs preserves a link between former spouses, there is the potential that problems present before the divorce will continue. Issues such as guilt, competition for children's love, power struggles over visitation, and attempts to substitute money for time with children can all have an impact on the financial dealings of stepfamilies. These differences often lead to a continuation of conflict between former spouses. Parents and stepparents in this situation may become frustrated because they feel less in control of their financial circumstances than they would like to be.
Partners may also compare their standard of living with that of a former spouse and go to great lengths to highlight the financial differences between the two households. Unfortunately, children may then become the target of sentiments such as "We have less money because we are supporting two households of children" or "I have to work because my spouse has all these financial obligations left over from previous marriages." These feelings, even if they are not conscious, may affect attitudes toward the children. Ongoing conflicts and hard feelings such as these often make financial decision making more difficult for stepfamilies.
In Missouri, the court has recently mandated that divorcing parents create a parenting plan. Parenting plans require parents to talk together and set guidelines about issues that affect their children. One benefit of parenting plans is that they enable parents, who know their children best, to work together and make their own decisions about their children's lives. If parents leave matters regarding their children unresolved, judges will have to make these important decisions for them. Parenting plans also benefit stepfamilies. Because financial decisions will have been discussed at the time of the divorce, stepfamilies are in a position to better manage their money.
There are many issues parents should consider when developing their parenting plan. Those pertaining to family finances include:
The plan should clearly state the terms of the agreement while allowing room for flexibility and future negotiation when necessary. As children grow and their needs change, the family's financial situation is also likely to change. However, having a parenting plan provides a good foundation from which parents can negotiate new arrangements.
Although handling finances presents a challenge for many families, it is possible for stepfamilies to manage their money effectively and create a sense of financial security and comfort. When partners spend sufficient time talking about their attitudes regarding money and planning their finances, they benefit greatly from their efforts. Effective money management prevents a great deal of stress and tension and leads to healthier family functioning. This section discusses strategies that can help stepfamilies manage their finances successfully. It also describes several common practices that usually lead to conflict and should be avoided.
Research indicates that only about 20 percent of remarried couples discuss their finances prior to marriage and almost none seek professional help for assistance in considering financial issues.
However, whether the stepfamily is just forming or has been a family unit for a number of years, it is essential that family members communicate about their finances and how best to handle them. The following discussion questions can facilitate communication about important financial topics.
Money is a powerful force in our society and can have a major impact on the success of a stepfamily. Research suggests that there is no one correct method of handling finances in stepfamilies. Family members need to thoughtfully consider their situation and communicate about how to best manage their money. When spouses communicate openly, make decisions together, and have mutual trust and respect, they greatly increase the likelihood that they will manage their finances successfully.

One of the most famous animal kidnapping cases the in the world took place in Ireland thirty years ago this Thursday.
Revered Irish racehorse Shergar was taken at gunpoint from Ballymany Stud in County Kildare on February 8, 1983, and never seen again. Remains were never found, and what happened to the horse has never been known.
Shergar won the Espom Derby in England in 1981, romping home by ten lengths, which still remains the record for the longest margin of victory in the famous race. he was worth an estimated $50 million at stud.
The horse was much-loved and a celebrity in itself, and was a five-year old embarking on his second year out to stud when three armed men wearing masks burst into Ballymany threatening the head groom Jim Fitzgerald and his family.
While there was a massive hunt for the horse and several different ransom requests were made, the horse was never seen or heard from again. Theories over who had kidnapped Shergar have been plentiful. Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, the IRA, and the US Mafia have all been suggested.
Rumors abound that the horse was killed just a few hours after the abduction, but the true fate of the horse remains unknown.
What is known, however, is that the horse was a star on the track and at the center of one of the biggest crime mysteries in Ireland during the 1980s.
It is believed that an IRA gang took him at a time when kidnappings were plentiful. Speculation is that they were unable to handle the stallion and shot him before he ran wild on them.
Here is Shergar winning the Epsom Derby in 1981:

NCAIJacqueline Johnson Pata, Executive Director of the National Congress of American Indians, speaks at the 2013 State of the Indian Nations annual gathering in February in Washington, D.C.
Tribal Nations: Ready and Able to Fully Contribute to America's Prosperity
Jacqueline Johnson Pata, Executive Director, National Congress of American Indians
The story of access to capital in Indian Country is one of unrealized potential.
The unique wisdom of tribal nations has been evident since before the United States was even formed. On every dollar bill, as part of the Great Seal of the United States, there is an image that speaks to the wisdom of Native people: an eagle clutching a bundle of arrows in its talons. Those arrows are a symbol of the great Iroquois confederacy. The Iroquois had a profound influence on the outcome of the Revolutionary War and the origins of American democracy. On June 11, 1776, the Iroquois chiefs were invited to the Continental Congress. They spoke about their confederacy and shared the hope that the new Americans would "act as one people and have but one heart."
As we consider the economic potential of tribal nations, that bundle of arrows is a powerful image—for tribes and for all Americans. It shows us that our united strength is much greater than our individual strength alone. It is our conviction at the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) that, just as tribes need the access to capital that our nation's banks can provide, so, too, can banks benefit from partnerships with tribes.
There are 566 tribal nations that are part of the American family of governments recognized in the Constitution, Supreme Court decisions, and acts of Congress. These governments range in size from small rancherias in California and Alaska Native villages to the Navajo Nation in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The Navajo Nation, which has more than 300,000 tribal citizens, covers 17 million acres—larger than nine states: Maryland, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Hawaii, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island.
In total, tribal lands cover more than 100 million acres, or more than 5 percent of the U.S. land base. Taken together, this area would make Indian Country America's fourth-largest state, behind only Alaska, Texas, and California. The 2010 census reported a Native population of more than 5.2 million people, 1.7 percent of the population.1
Economic Challenges and Opportunities
Tribal nations have faced depression-level unemployment for generations. According to 2006–2010 American Community Survey estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, the on-reservation unemployment rate for American Indians was 19 percent, compared with 8 percent for all Americans. Unemployment in Alaska Native villages was estimated even higher, at 24 percent.2 During the most recent recession, the Economic Policy Institute estimated that the Native unemployment rate rose at a rate 1.6 times that of the rate for the white population.3
The difficulties in accessing capital paint an even more troubling picture. More than 40 percent of Native people have limited or no access to mainstream financial services (one of the highest rates in the nation), 26.8 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native households are underbanked (have a bank account but use alternative financial services), and an additional 14.5 percent are completely unbanked.4 In 2001, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's "Native American Lending Study" reported that 86 percent of Native communities lacked access to a single financial institution (with a broad definition that included a simple ATM) and 15 percent of Native community members had to travel more than 100 miles to access a financial institution.5 Given those stark figures, it is not surprising that the unmet capital need in Indian Country was estimated in 2001 at more than $44 billion.6
In spite of these challenges, tribal economies—those with gaming and those without—grew at a rate three times that of the rest of the U.S. economy, according the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, which conducted a detailed analysis of economic data between the 1990 and 2000 censuses.7 National business data paint a still more promising picture, with 2007 data from the Census Bureau identifying 236,967 businesses owned by individual American Indian and Alaska Native people, an increase of 17.7 percent from 2002. This increase is more remarkable because the data excluded tribally owned businesses. Individually owned American Indian and Alaska Native businesses generated $34.4 billion in receipts in 2007, a 28 percent increase from 2002.
Recent studies have revealed the significant economic impact of particular tribes. The Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma has an annual economic impact on the state of more than $2.4 billion and supports 16,000 jobs, according to a study by the Economic Research and Policy Institute, Oklahoma City University.8 A 2006 study showed that the combined economic impact of tribes in Washington state amounted to $3.2 billion and 30,000 jobs.9 Even in remote places with limited economic activity, tribes can play an outsize role in promoting economic development. In rural southeast Alaska, the Central Council Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska is the seventh-largest private employer and generates an annual economic impact of $22.5 million.10 An interesting feature of many of these studies is that they reveal the economic benefits tribes bring to entire regions; the Washington study showed that tribes created jobs for more non-Native people than for tribal citizens by a ratio of almost 2–to–1.
The financial services sector is another significant indicator of strength in Native communities. The number of Native community development financial institutions (CDFI) has grown significantly in recent years, and there are now more than 70 certified Native CDFIs, with dozens more in various stages of development. The South Dakota Indian Business Alliance commissioned research that showed that on South Dakota's reservations—some of America's poorest communities—there was accelerated income growth and job creation compared with non-Native communities. These effects were particularly pronounced when Native CDFIs were present.11 Tribes are increasingly using CDFIs strategically: for example, to enhance already successful business development (in places like Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community in Arizona and the Citizen Potawatomi Nation of Oklahoma) and to build strong economies in some of America's poorest and most remote communities.
A timely enhancement to Indian Country's economic potential is the fact that the federal government has recently settled dozens of outstanding trust cases, including the Cobell and Keepseagle class actions and a series of individual tribal trust settlements. It is estimated these settlements will amount to $3 billion by mid-2013, offering significant new resources that will require diverse financial services to promote ongoing banking relationships. The NCAI has launched a national campaign, "Protect Native Money," to support tribal leaders and Native citizens in best utilizing these valuable resources and to engage important partners, including financial institutions.
Partnering in the 'New Era'
Amid all of this economic promise—some of it in the darkest days of the economic crisis—it may be natural to wonder why access to capital is such a chronic challenge for tribal nations. The simple answer is that there is an education gap. When the NCAI was formed in 1944, the founding tribal leaders placed a priority on educating the public about Native peoples. Seventy years later, that challenge remains. Native people and the economic potential of tribal nations often go unnoticed.
Now, in what we have called a "new era" in tribal–federal relations, we have identified a few promising areas where tribes, financial institutions, and the federal government can partner to advance economic growth in tribal nations that strengthens tribal and regional economies.
When the Iroquois leaders met with the Continental Congress and urged them to "have but one heart," they offered enduring wisdom that will reestablish America's economic success. Like that bundle of arrows in the eagle's talons, we are stronger together. We can move forward with one heart, acting as one people. Just as tribes inspired the greatness of American democracy, so tribes and Native people can inspire American businesses to reach new heights. We stand ready to partner with financial institutions, other governments, and the private sector to fully realize the immense economic potential of America's tribal nations.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA—Russia offered on Thursday to provide troops to guard facilities where Syria's chemical weapons would be destroyed, as UN inspectors prepared to continue their probe on the use of such agents in the country's civil war.
In the latest infighting among rebels, activists said a commander of a local Al Qaeda offshoot died in clashes with Kurdish militiamen in northern Syria, the second senior group leader to be killed in a week.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which closely monitors the fighting in Syria, said the commander, from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, died Wednesday night during ongoing fighting with Kurds in the northern province of Aleppo. The Britain-based group did not provide the man's name but identified him in a statement Thursday as a UAE national and the emir — or local commander — of Aleppo.
On Monday, a top Al Qaeda commander was killed in an ambush by rival Western-backed rebels.
Infighting between Al Qaeda-linked extremists and other, more moderate rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad has spiked in recent days.
Also Thursday, a mortar shell slammed into the Iraqi consulate building in central Damascus, killing one person and wounding three, Syrian state media reported.
In Moscow, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia is ready to ensure security and help guard facilities, once the chemical weapons are stored for destruction in Syria. He spoke just hours before diplomats at the United Nations said the five permanent members of the divided UN Security Council appeared to have reached agreement on a resolution requiring Syria to dismantle its chemical weapons stockpiles.
Russia's deputy foreign minister had said negotiators had overcome a major hurdle and agreed that the text of the resolution would include a reference to Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which allows for military and nonmilitary actions to promote security.
The U.S. and Russia have been at odds on how to enforce the resolution.
Meanwhile, a team of UN inspectors was back in Syria to investigate three alleged incidents of chemical weapons use earlier this year. They will also seek information on three other attacks last month that allegedly included chemical agents. The inspectors were seen leaving their Damascus hotel in a vehicle convoy on Thursday afternoon, but there was no immediate indication where they were going.
The UN inspectors first came to Damascus last month to probe a March 19 attack and two other incidents in the north when an alleged chemical attack occurred outside the Syrian capital. They returned to Syria on Wednesday.
The Aug. 21 incident in the eastern Ghouta suburb of Damascus became their focus after the United States and its allies said Assad's troops were responsible for the chemical attack that killed hundreds. The U.S. threatened punitive strikes; Assad's government denied the allegations and said the rebels were behind the Ghouta attack.
In Moscow, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia is ready to ensure security and help guard facilities, once the chemical weapons are stored for destruction in Syria.
He emphasized that Moscow will not accept the Syrian chemical weapons to be dismantled in Russian territory.
"We believe that it should be dismantled on Syrian territory," Ryabkov was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies. "We undoubtedly won't deal with it. We believe that the process of its destruction could be efficiently organized on the territory of Syria."
The attack on the Iraqi consulate came a day after Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari warned Western nations that support the Syrian opposition not to send military aid to the rebels for fear it could assist jihadi groups.
According to Syria state news agency SANA, an Iraqi woman was killed and three others were wounded when a mortar shell struck the building that houses the consulate in the upscale Abu Roumanneh district of Damascus. The shell hit the consulate's hallway in which people were waiting to process their documents or visas, SANA said.
Surk reported from Beirut. Associated Press writer Vladimir Isachenkov in Moscow contributed to this report.

Businesses hope snowfall will pull them out of the red
Businesses hope snowfall will pull them out of the red
As snow finally falls in Milwaukee, stores that depend on a true winter season are hoping the white stuff will help them emerge from the red.
Customers at the True Value store on Downer Avenue said they're not necessarily happy to see the snow. But manager Ben Simon said his store is anxiously waiting for a recovery from last year's dry winter.
"Last year we didn't see anything," he said. "It was kind of dismal."
Shovels, gloves and ice melt have been at the front of the store since early November. The products haven't moved much, until today.
It's always weird," Simon said. "It can change in a day or two. All of a sudden everything goes at once."
Simon hopes that a real winter will help boost business before the end of the year.

Jim Parker at Caribbean Flying Adventures is alerting pilots that they will soon need a 406 ELT for flight to the Bahamas and Mexico.
Parker notes that he successfully collaborated with Civil Aviation authorities in the Dominican Republic and The Caymans Islands to obtain a waiver from the 406 ELT requirement. The Dominican Republic waiver is indefinite, he reports. The Cayman Islands waiver is valid through Dec. 1, 2013, but will almost certainly be extended, he said, adding his company "will work to insure that this happens."
"Unfortunately, the waiver for an installed 406 ELT for the Bahamas will expire Feb. 1, 2013, and for Mexico June 1, 2013," he said. "In order to be legal, pilots who want to fly to the Bahamas or Mexico will must install a 406 ELT."
Parker noted his company researched this issue and found that the U.S. Coast Guard continues to utilize the 121.5 frequency in their search and rescue operations. Thus, mandating the installation of the 406 ELT makes little sense for island flying, he said. Additionally, ICAO experts have concluded than an installed ELT is useless once the aircraft sinks after the passengers have safely exited the aircraft. A hand held personal locator beacon then becomes the optimal search and rescue tool.
"The bottom line is that pilots do not need to spend thousands of dollars installing a 406 ELT in order to fly to the Dominican Republic, The Cayman Islands or Puerto Rico," he said. "But begining Feb 1, 2013, they do need to spend the money in order to fly to the Bahamas.

Enjoy these two Charmers: A TRIP TO TRENTON TO SEE A BASKETBALL GAME and FUN TIMES IN THE EARLY 1900's by Mignon Sparling
A TRIP TO TRENTON TO SEE A BASKETBALL GAME by Mignon Sparling
I was a senior in high school the winter of 1909-1910 and my sister Belle Lowe, my brother John Lowe, and three friends, Mary Tucker, Ethel Perriman, and Thomas Lyon and I decided we would like to attend the basketball game at Trenton on a Saturday afternoon.
I do not remember how the basketball team traveled to Trenton in those days, I suppose they probably left early Saturday morning in a horse drawn coach, but I do remember how we the fans traveled. We had to leave school early on Friday afternoon and catch the 2:30 Wabash going west. We four girls were really dressed up for the occasion in our long billowing skirts, our high laced shoes, our heavy coats and last but not least our huge picture hats which were the style in those years.
Our train ride to Gallatin Junction was apparently uneventful and we got out at the Gallatin Junction which was on the northeast side of the West Branch of Grand River. It was going to be several hours before we could catch a train to Trenton, so we decided to cross the river on the railroad bridge and walk on into Gallatin. It was a cold day and the station was too cold to sit around and wait, so we set off double file across the railroad trestle.
When we were half way across the bridge, my brother John, who had keen hearing, apparently heard a train coming behind us. I was beside him in the lead and was suddenly aware of the fact that we were in danger. Immediately John shouted back to the rest . . . "We're playing a game . . . step up front, go a little faster . . . sing it as you go."
With that John started chanting "Step up front, go a little faster" and set off at a fast pace . . . I realizing that he did not want to alarm the rest of the crowd, joined him in singing "Step up front, go a little faster" . . . and soon all six of us were racing across the bridge, singing as we went. The singing made enough noise, that none of the other four heard the oncoming train.
As soon as the bridge reached solid ground, John and I dived off of the trestle and those behind followed our example. It was just then that the west bound train whizzed by, our hats blew off, or at least the brims blew up, if our long hat pins kept the crowns firmly anchored. We all realized what a narrow escape we had had.
When our hearts started beating again, we continued our walk into Gallatin. We eventually caught the train to Trenton.
I don't remember whether the Chillicothe team won that game or not, but there were six loyal fans to shout encouragement. After the game, we went back to my aunts for supper and to stay all night. At 3:00 a.m. Sunday morning we were back at the Wabash train station to catch a train to Gallatin.
This time we rode all the way into Gallatin and found the station ice cold in the pre-dawn winter morning. We had to spend most of the day in Gallatin, since the train to Chillicothe didn't leave until 4:00 that afternoon. We found a warm church and stayed there for several hours. At noon we ate a prolonged dinner in what to my memory was McDonald's Tea Room. (Although not the same version that Virginia McDonald had much later).
We caught the train at 4:00 o'clock and by bedtime on Sunday evening, we were back home in Chillicothe.
FUN TIMES IN THE EARLY 1900's by Mignon Sparling
Sometimes my grandchildren have asked me "What did you do for fun, Grandma, when you were growing up?" I don't tell them, but I don't think this generation knows what fun really is. We made our fun ourselves and usually it involved getting together with a lot of other people.
Box suppers and pie suppers were really exciting events in those times. The Linville Community where I grew up had a lot of them, but sometimes we would venture further from home.
Floyd Thompson, one of our neighbors taught school up in American Bottoms west of Chula and a big wagon load of us decided to go up to a pie supper at his school house and to stay all night at the Thompson house. Each of the girls took a pie and after the fun at the pie supper we went to Floyd's parents' house and stayed all night.
The girls took their own blankets and slept upstairs on the floor, the boys slept downstairs or in the barn. There were twenty-three of us there for dinner the next day.
We decided to go to the Ward Church for services that morning. The Ward Church at that time had planks for seats. Whenever you went to a different church or school event, you had the opportunity of meeting new friends.
The young men of that day were' very competitive with their horses and buggies, and the fellow who made the most progress with the girls was perhaps the one with the best buggy and the matched team.
One time we had a Leap Year's party in the Linville Community and the girls had to take their family's horses and buggies and go after the boys. A few girls were lucky enough to ask nearby boys who could be walked after. I'm sure the older generation of our day said "What's this world coming to?"

If you solved the cryptic crossword that is today's blog title, you will have realised that I'm talking about journal abbreviations. For some reason, almost all journals require you to abbreviate the names of the journals you cite, while simultaneously (and this is the bit that really gets me) not letting you know what abbreviations you should use: it is "J. Mol. Struc." or "J. Mol. Struct." or even "J. Mol. Struct. THEOCHEM"?
Perhaps you do as I do; in that last-minute tidy up of citations, I google "journal abbreviations" and try to find suitable abbreviations for the last few remaining articles. Or sometimes I spend a quiet afternoon searching through the list of citations in recent articles from that journal just to find how out to cite that particular journal!
But sometimes a little voice inside me cries "Why!" - why am I wasting the best years of my life solving the non-problem that is how to abbreviate the title of a particular journal? Don't journals want to be cited correctly? In this age of electronic linking of data, misspelling the journal abbreviation could mean that a citation to a particular journal would be missed. Since journals seem to think that Impact Factors are so important, couldn't they at least give some hint what abbreviation they think you should use?
So, on to my favourite part: "The Case Study", aka "The one that pushed me over the edge". I wanted to cite a paper from Nucleic Acids Research. This is commonly known (to me) as NAR. Indeed, the website, is nar.oxfordjournals.org. And the blurb on the front page says "Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) is a fully Open Access journal". Fantastic, NAR must be the accepted journal abbreviation. Job done.
Just to be sure, let's check the Instructions for Authors. Here they give an example of how they wish references to be formatted. The great thing is that the examples they give are from NAR:
1. Schmitt,E., Panvert,M., Blanquet,S. and Mechulam,Y. (1995) Transition state stabilisation by the 'high' motif of class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases: the case of Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase. Nucleic Acids Res., 23, 4793-4798....but wait a second, that's "Nucleic Acids Res." not "NAR"!
Now our curiosity (aka annoyance) is piqued, so let's check out the current issue of Nucleic Acids Research. But what's that in the title of the page, "Nucl. Acids Res. -- Table of Contents...".
So NAR, or "Nucl. Acids Res." or "Nucleic Acids Res."? And don't even get me started on why journals require these abbreviations in the first place even if they are web-only...
