Hi Nick,
If you're still looking for partner(s), let me know perhaps we can connect. I play at NTC nearly every night, and can make a trip out early am if the tennis is good (which I know it would be, based on your double bagel win -- congrats!). I'm in Williamsburg and play at both Mccarren and NTC regularly, I have my partners, but you can never have too many good partners. I am also on your USTA league so if you wanna partner with whom to practice, it would be good to get to know another guy on the league. I'll see you this Friday (5/10) at any rate.
Would you like to play Monday? I could do morning or evening, NTC or Mccarren. Mccaren's decent but NTC surface is superior, I'm guessing.
Hi Nicholas. My name is Michael Chan and I'm about a 3.75 skill level. I'm looking for someone to elevate me to the next level; mind if we get together and hit?
I come to the Bayside Terrace bubble (next to the Bayside mall) all the time for my son's tennis, usually from 5p-7p weekdays and some Saturdays. Can do daytime as well. Want to hit?

Police say a Beaumont man charged with sexual assault of a child was caught in the act by his common law wife.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Examiner, officers responded to a home in Beaumont's North End in reference to a victim of an aggravated sexual assault.
When they arrived, police said they were met by the young victim's mother, who told officers "she had found her common law husband on top of her naked 9-year-old daughter."
When the mother walked in, the affidavit said Stevie Blaschke Hanke, 40, quickly put his hand over his crotch and tucked his genitals back into his shorts.
A sexual assault nurse interviewed the young victim, who told the nurse Hanke "had put his mouth on her genitals, and rubbed her genitals with his genitals," the affidavit said.
The 9-year-old also gave a statement on video at the Garth House where she described Hanke's alleged sexual acts.
Hanke was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury May 3, 2012, on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony. He was arrested May 10, 2012, and is currently in the Jefferson County Jail on a $150,000 bond. He is set to appear for trial Feb. 10 in Judge Lindsey Scott's 252nd Criminal District Court.

Mercedes' Hamilton takes pole at Malaysian GP
SEPANG, Malaysia (AP) Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton took pole position for the Malaysian Grand Prix on Saturday to tie the record for most qualifying wins by a British driver in Formula One.
Tropical rains delayed the start of qualifying for 50 minutes, but even the wet track at the Sepang International Circuit could not prevent Mercedes continuing the dominance it had shown all weekend as Hamilton made it back-to-back poles to start the new season.
Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel came close, but the four-time defending champion finished five hundredths of a second behind Hamilton and just in front of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, who qualified third.
Hamilton's pole was the 33rd of his career, bringing him level with former world champion Jim Clark for the most by any British driver, and also level with Alain Prost. It also puts him in an ideal position to make up for his early retirement from the season opener in Australia due to an engine misfire.
"I'm really happy with how well we've done over the weekend, but today was incredible – how heavy was the rain?" Hamilton said. "It was tricky out there for everyone because at the end it was almost impossible to see. I couldn't see where the track went, where the corners were, where to break. I had to bail out of my final fast lap, so it was very close."
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso recovered from a crash that broke his front suspension in the second session of qualifying and will start from fourth on the grid. His teammate Kimi Raikkonen qualified sixth, behind Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.
Force India's Nico Hulkenberg, McLaren rookie Kevin Magnussen, Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne and McLaren's Jenson Button rounded out the top 10.
Vettel's performance was impressive given Mercedes had been expected to be far too quick in dry or wet conditions. When he saw how narrowly he missed out on pole he quipped to Hamilton "you're kidding" as they met in the pits, then jokingly tried to nudge Hamilton off the official weighing scales.
It was a good recovery by the Red Bull team after the car had a problem with its energy store electronics during the first session of qualifying, and left the German in bullish mood about being able to take on the Mercedes cars on Sunday, having also retired early in Australia.
"They are the most competitive package, it is difficult to beat them on the day, but not impossible," Vettel said. "I'm keen to find out where we are and where I am – I haven't done a race since Brazil last year."
Rosberg, who won the season opener in Australia, had been fastest in practice on Friday and Saturday and again in Q1, but was not able to match his teammate as the conditions deteriorated.
"I was a little bit less comfortable on the full wets, especially into braking, but third is still a decent place to be," Rosberg said. "Who knows what the weather is going to do tomorrow?"
There was standing water on the track from a pre-qualifying downpour, and lighter rain continued throughout the sessions to make things difficult for all drivers, who switched back and forth between the intermediate and full-wet tires as they tried to find the right setup for the conditions.
The first session of qualifying ended when Caterham's Marcus Ericsson went off the track, into a wall, through a brake marker and back onto the track where he was almost hit by Sauber's Esteban Gutierrez.
There was also a red flag in the second qualifying session, when Toro Rosso rookie Daniil Kvyat tried to pass Alonso on the inside of a corner but collided with the Ferrari, leaving debris on the track.

This week has been the week for finding new cousins. Technology continues to make our world a much smaller one, and blogging makes it even smaller.
Many of my recent postings have been about my mother's ancestors, including the surnames of Coggins, Pettus, Trigleth, Killebrew, and Neatherlin/Neatherland/Netherland. One of these posts caught the attention this week of a Killebrew descendant who grew up in South Texas and now lives in South Carolina. Interestingly, our great-great-grandmothers were sisters.
According to statistics provided by Google Analytics for the past year, approximately 75% of my blog readership originates from surname searches made using various search engines. This means that my older posts are still being read. One of these searches brought another cousin to this blog....this time a Branch cousin who already lives in Mississippi.
And just last month, thanks to this blog, a Netherland descendant who lives near San Antonio, Texas, found information here about some of our common ancestors who lived in Mississippi almost a hundred years ago. Her email to me and my subsequent phone call to her enabled both of us to engage in a lively and amazing discussion about our families that would not have happened otherwise.
Thank you, cousins, for reading this blog! I hope you will visit often.

Blog Traffic and New Cousins

A great post and I think it reinforces the reasons why we have genealogy blogs - just having our surnames out there on the Internet and being picked up by Google and other search engines can really help us make connections.
How wonderful it is to find new "cousins"! Congratulations, Janice!ReplyDelete

Anyone who struggled through Shakespeare in high school might find some glee in picturing the Bard as a rude, uneducated, drunken lout who never actually penned his literary masterpieces. Well, that's according to one theory put forth by the new film, "Anonymous," and it's supported by an avid group of so called "Anti-Stratfordians" who over the years have included Mark Twain, Orson Welles, Sigmund Freud and British actor Sir Derek Jacobi (who performs a damning prologue to the film).
According to the naysayers, there are too many unexplained gaps and inconsistencies that give favor to reasonable doubt that William Shakespeare was the actual author of the works. Then again, it could just be snobbery to think the son of illiterate parents, one possessing merely an elementary-level education, could have such command of the English language.
Whatever the truth, the debate is handled with much gusto by director Roland Emmerich in "Anonymous." Emmerich is better known for helming disaster films like "The Day after Tomorrow," "Independence Day" and "2012," so a historical who-wrote-it might seem incongruous, but he gives the Elizabethan age a blockbuster edge with meticulous CGI recreations and sweeping wide shots.
Emmerich and screenwriter John Orloff ("Band of Brothers," "A Mighty Heart") have fashioned a tale with as many twists and turns as a good Shakespearean drama with plenty of lies, sex, betrayal and murder. They propose that it was Edward De Vere — the Earl of Oxford (played with great flamboyance by Rhys Ifans) — whose pen was mightier than the sword but could never reveal himself to the audiences at the Rose and Globe Theatres because of his searing hot topics of politics and royal foibles. Not to mention that it was considered indecent, if not sinful, for a nobleman to engage in such frivolous wordplay.
In this scenario Shakespeare (Rafe Spall) is a second-rate bit player who revels in the glory of being the fake front man and extorts De Vere for the privilege. But this is no simple yarn, as the film's convoluted plot lines delve into its own slant on 17th century politics with a speedy timeline flashing backward and forward, which makes it hard to keep up with who's who and whether they are lovers or sons (and sometimes both).
Thankfully, it somehow all makes sense by the end and there are some rollicking good performances — particularly by Ifans, stretching out from his normal comedic roles, and David Thewlis as William Cecil, the malicious and conniving advisor to Queen Elizabeth. There is also a glorious interpretation of a more bawdy version of the Virgin Queen by Vanessa Redgrave, as well as some winking casting of her real-life daughter Joely Richardson as the younger Elizabeth. Whether "Anonymous" is really about something or merely much ado about nothing, it's quite a fun ride.

Hubble Sees True Shapes of Galaxies 11 Billion Years Back in Time
Looking 11 billion years back in time to when the universe was very young, astronomers have found that the anatomy of distant galaxies is not that different from galaxies seen in the nearby universe today. The results come from the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). The largest project in the history of Hubble, it aims to explore galactic evolution in the early universe, and the very first seeds of cosmic structure at less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang.
Previous studies of this early epoch were inconclusive because they were limited to visible light. Because of the stretching of light by the expansion of the universe the visible light detected in distant galaxies actually maps only the ultraviolet emissions of the galaxies. Because this radiation only comes from regions of active star formation the galaxies appeared to be clumpy and messy, with no resemblance to the galaxy shapes we see around us today. By observing the galaxies in infrared light with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3, astronomers could observe how these distant galaxies would appear normally in visible light if their radiation were not stretched to infrared wavelengths by the expanding universe.

Rapid response salvages house, garage 'a loss' in daytime fire on Rockland
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Thanks to the quick thinking of a passerby and a quick response from the Punxsutawney Fire Department, a garage fire on Rockland Avenue failed to spread to the owners' nearby house.
Central, Elk Run and Lindsey fire companies responded to a working garage fire at 1:56 p.m. Monday at 401 Rockland Ave. The property is owned by Jim and Janice Blose.
There were smoke and flames seen inside the garage when firefighters arrived on scene, said Bryan Smith, Punxsutawney Fire Department chief.
"They got a good hit on it and knocked the flames down before it spread to a nearby shed and possibly the house," he said.
Jim Blose, the owner, said he saw the flames and smoke coming from his garage as he drove up Rockland Avenue.
Smith said there wasn't anyone home at the time of the fire, and a neighbor had called in the quickly spreading blaze thanks to a passerby who saw the smoke and flames through the garage window.
"The garage, which contained hunting equipment and some guns, along with a lawnmower and refrigerator, sustained heavy fire and heat damage," Smith said, adding that he was proud of the job firefighters did in saving the family's home from any fire damage.
Smith said there were reports from neighbors that two explosions were heard from inside the garage prior to the fire breaking out.
"Once again, our department was able to quickly extinguish a fire during the day when we are short-handed," he said. "The key in the last three fires that occurred during the day was the fires were reported early on, before they really got going."
He said there were no injuries; the garage and its contents were a total loss; and the Punxsutawney-based Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal is investigating the cause of the blaze, which also damaged a nearby shed.
Firefighters were assisted at the scene by Jefferson County EMS and Punxsutawney Borough Police.
McCalmont Township Fire Company was on stand by at Central and Big Run firefighters assisted at the scene with the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) but were sent back once the fire was extinguished.
All units were back in quarters at 3 p.m.

On raising a son on the autism spectrum, progressive politics, pop culture, and coffee addiction.

I can't get no
This is not exactly a new phenomenon - for years, he has avoided Keith Urban's song "Everybody" because, he says, "it makes me strain." But recently, there seem to be more songs that are pulling his heartstrings in all the wrong directions, and he's having none of it. I get it, since I tend to be the same way with books and movies - I mean, life can be tough enough all on its own; I don't need heartbreak and despair in my entertainment. So, when a song like Carrie Underwood's "Just a Dream" comes on and I hear Bud's cautious "Mom?" piping up from the back seat, I quickly change the station and find a more upbeat tune.
Sometimes, though, Bud just wants to provide a little commentary on the music that's playing or ask a question about the lyrics, so I try not to make assumptions about how a particular song will affect him until he lets me know. The other day, Bud and I were in the middle of a long road trip when Trace Adkins' "I Wanna Feel Something" came on. It's not a new song and Bud has heard it a million times before without comment. This time, though, as the song came to its chorus,
"I want a heart that beats and bleeds,
A heart that's bustin' at the seams,
I wanna care, I wanna cry, I wanna scream.
I just wanna feel something,"
I heard Bud's voice from behind me. "Mom," he said, "it's satisfying."
"What's satisfying, Bud?"
"Trace. 'I Wanna Feel Something.' It's satisfying."
"You feel satisfied?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said. But the "yeah" sounded just a touch too glum to me. Something wasn't adding up.
"What does 'satisfying' mean, Bud?" I asked.
"Means it makes me sad," he answered.
Not satisfying.
Got it.
We changed the station.

I'm with you guys - I don't need sadisfying entertainment. Even though I have heard that particular Trace Adkins song and it resonates with me, I can't dwell in it.

We listen to Christian top 40, so my references wouldn't make sense to most. But, there are two songs that Conor has refused to listen to for as long as I can remember. It's like Name That Tune in the car when the first few notes come across the airwaves. He bellows from the back seat, "I can't listen to this song!!! Change it!!!" I always obey.

What a huge thing he's doing though! By rejecting "sad songs", he's becoming aware of "sad feelings" of others- and that they can affect him. Kids with autism (even HFA) often don't recognize that others are sad, and even if they recognize it, don't empathize with it enough to be "sadisfied".
After all, in the words of Elton John, "sad songs say so much"... He's "hearing" what they say!

I love that you are so attuned to Bud that you hear beyond the (presumed meaning of) the words.
And I'm with him, much as I adore that song, it nearly kills me every time.

Interesting! My son likes '70s music and asks me to change the station any time a "sad" song is played. I'm not yet sure if it's the words or music itself that he doesn't care for.

Awesome self-tanner!! from San Francisco, CA Verified Purchaser
I just got Sun Love Self Tanning yesterday and used it for the first time last night all over my body. It was relatively easy to apply (although I washed my hands throughout the application process to avoid staining them). I was so happy with the results that I used it on my face when I woke up this morn. I just went into the bathroom at work and was like, "I look tan!!" I've been avoiding the sun for the past three years, so it's the first time I've seen myself tan in a long time, and I love it!! It is a nice, golden color, too--exactly the way my skin looks when it's really tan. The smell is nice when you put it on, but it does fade into that self-tanner smell after awhile. That and the price are the only drawbacks--well worth it in my opinion. Review posted 3/12/2012.

Great smelling spray tan from san Francisco, CA Verified Purchaser
Sun Love Self Tanning smells great, like cherry almond and goes on smooth, no streaks, excellent self tanning spray and I've been using them a long time. I used to use St Tropez but now I'm a fan of this brand. Review posted 4/14/2012.
5 out of 5
Today I broke that rule, slopped some Sun Love Self Tanning on, waited two hours, jumped in the shower and washed off all the color guide as I felt too gross after a while, and thought I had washed the tanner away too. I didn't - I am left with a light gorgeous tan that looks just like I got it from the sun.7/3/2012

great self tanner! from Shenandoah junction, WV Verified Purchaser
love the almond scent of Sun Love Self Tanning, non streaking and the color is a beautiful brown, not orange like some other self tanners I have tried in the past. Review posted 7/10/2011.

Best Sun Tanner Ever from Overland Park, KS Verified Purchaser
I love this Sun Love Self Tanning. It's great to mix with the lotion of your choice. It has a bronzer in it as well as a tanner, so you can see where it is and isn't as you're applying it. It's very dark, so it lasts a long time, too. Review posted 10/10/2012.
5 out of 5/Superb color from Jackson, NJ Verified Purchaser/Sun Love Self Tanning definitely gets it right on three major counts - great color, looks absolutely natural without the orange-y, rusty cast just about all other self tanners give me, and I've tried a number of them from the highest to lowest end. Amazingly, it has absolutely zero self tanner smell, from the time you put it on through the entire "baking" process. I can't imagine how they managed this as there is no heavy masking scent either, just a very light hint of almond. Next, it does not streak or leave "hard" edges as some tanners can when you go too dark and see the line of demarcation between the color and your actual skin tone. The price is great too. So why three stars?9.11/2012

One of Greene County�s favorite daughters was laid to rest Monday.
SNOW HILL � One of Greene County�s favorite daughters was laid to rest Monday.
Jean Rouse Preston, a state legislator for 20 years, was buried at Fairview Cemetery in La Grange following a service at the chapel at Taylor-Tyson Funeral Service in Snow Hill. She died Thursday morning from complications from a fall she suffered while on vacation in Waterbury, Conn.
Before retiring and moving to Emerald Isle � and starting a career in politics � Preston was an educator. She graduated from ECU in 1957 with a degree in business education and taught business classes in Wilson and Greene counties, as well as at Lenoir Community College. She later returned to ECU to receive her master�s degree in education in 1973.
Over the course of her career, she became Greene County director of reading for K-12 students and the program administrator for children with special needs.
�We knew that we could always have her ear,� said Dr. Patrick Miller, Greene County superintendent of schools. �She would always listen, and she was very responsive. We would always, certainly, have something to talk about � even if we didn�t agree on the issues we could talk about home. I would add that there were very few times we didn�t agree on the issues. She was a very generous person. She was always quick with a smile and made you feel right at home.�
Before retiring, Preston served as the principal and director of education at the Barnes School at the Caswell Developmental Center in Kinston.
But with retirement and the passing of husband Hugh Forbes Hardy, Preston moved to Carteret County, where she later married retired U.S. Army Col. John Edward Preston. She made her first run for the N.C. House of Representatives in 1992, serving seven terms before being elected to three terms in the N.C. Senate.
She served Carteret, Jones and Onslow counties as a representative and Carteret, Craven and Pamlico counties as a senator. Preston announced in January 2012 she wouldn�t run for a fourth term in the Senate.
�She was helpful to me when I first got in the House,� said N.C. Sen. Louis Pate, who first won election to the House in 1994. �She had served a term or so when I first got there, and she was very friendly towards me and most helpful, helping get my bearings as to what I was supposed to do and how you went about having your influence felt, and that sort of thing. I was lucky enough to be able to follow her over to the Senate and served this most recent term with her.�
In her six years in the Senate, Preston was the co-chair of the Senate Committee on Education/Higher Education and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Education/Higher Education.
�Jean Preston was a pioneer in the field of special education who dedicated her life to ensuring our children have the brightest future possible,� Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, said in a statement. �As a legislator, Sen. Preston worked tirelessly on education reform and on achieving better results for our students. She was legendary in her district for an amazing work ethic and commitment to providing outstanding constituent service.
�Sen. Preston was a dear friend, and my colleagues and I will miss her greatly.�
Jean Rouse Preston
� Born: May 25, 1935, in Greene County
� Died: Jan. 10, 2013, in Waterbury, Conn.
� Served in the N.C. House of Representatives 1993-2006
� Served in the N.C. Senate 2007-2012
A local memorial service will be held for Preston at 11 a.m. Jan. 19 at Cape Carteret Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Jean R. Preston Distinguished Young Women of Carteret County Scholarship, care of Carteret County Council for Women, 147 Lake Arthur Drive, Newport, NC 28570.

White Sox hand Santiago ball against Twins
Following up Chris Sale's latest gem will be no easy feat, but Hector Santiago just may be up to the task.
The Chicago White Sox hurler takes the mound on Monday evening looking to keep up his solid start to the season in the opener of a three-game set with the Minnesota Twins.
After going 0-1 with a 2.51 earned run average in seven relief outings during April, Santiago was put into the rotation in place of the injured Gavin Floyd and has allowed just one earned run, six hits and four walks in two starts this month while striking out 14.
The lefty won at Texas on May 2 before getting a no-decision in Tuesday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to the New York Mets. Santiago threw seven scoreless innings to keep the White Sox in a game that was dominated by the Mets' Matt Harvey.
Santiago, who has a 1.69 ERA on the season, is 1-1 with a 1.64 ERA in five all-time meetings with the Twins, including one start. The 25-year-old faced them in relief on April 20 and picked up a loss, charged with an unearned run on two hits in the 10th frame of a 2-1 decision. The winning run scored on a throwing error by Alexei Ramirez.
Chicago salvaged the finale of a three-game series on Sunday with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim behind a dominating effort by Sale, who struck out seven to highlight a one-hit 3-0 shutout.
Sale was nearly perfect, allowing just the one hit on a clean single up the middle from Mike Trout with one away in the seventh inning.
Chris Iannetta was the only other Angel to reach base on an error to start the ninth, but Sale bounced back by inducing a double-play groundout from Luis Jimenez before retiring Alberto Callaspo to secure his first career shutout and second complete game.
"I come to the ballpark every day when I'm pitching and just want to keep my team in the game and win this game," Sale added.
Alexei Ramirez recorded three hits, two RBI and a run scored, while Alex Rios added an RBI double to help the White Sox snap a four-game home skid with just their third victory in eight games.
The Twins enter this tough pitching matchup off just their second shutout loss of the season, a 6-0 defeat to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. Minnesota closed a recent road trip by taking three of four in Boston, but began its nine-game homestand by dropping two of three to Baltimore.
Joe Mauer extended his hitting streak to 11 games, while starter Scott Diamond took the loss after yielding all six runs on nine hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Minnesota had scored at least five runs in six straight games before getting shut out.
"We've been swinging good and banging the ball around," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said of his team's recent success. "You're going to have one of those days every once in a while. That's a very good baseball team over there."
The Twins' Pedro Hernandez gets his first look at his former club when he makes his fifth start and seventh appearance of the season.
The 24-year-old lefty made his MLB debut with one start for the White Sox a season ago before getting traded to the Twins along with Eduardo Escobar on July 28 of last year for Francisco Liriano.
Hernandez has made three straight starts and is 1-0 with a 5.96 ERA this season. However, he lasted just two innings in Boston on Wednesday, charged with six runs on seven hits in a game the Twins won 15-8, leaving their starter without a decision.
The White Sox took 14 of 18 from the Twins a season ago, but Minnesota won both meetings of a rain-shortened two-game set in mid-April at Chicago.

NASHVILLE, TENN. – On a recent Friday night, former Spartanburg resident Peter Cooper and his primary music partner Eric Brace were on stage at the Station Inn, celebrating the release of their latest collaborative effort, "The Comeback Album."
Editor's note: Arts and entertainment writer Dan Armonaitis recently spent a few days in Nashville, Tenn. This is the first in a series of stories about people from the Spartanburg area who are having an impact in the Music City.
NASHVILLE, TENN. – On a recent Friday night, former Spartanburg resident Peter Cooper and his primary music partner Eric Brace were on stage at the Station Inn, celebrating the release of their latest collaborative effort, "The Comeback Album."
Joining the Nashville-based duo was a backing band of some of Music City's greatest contemporary roots-based musicians, including multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin, who the night before had played with Willie Nelson and who regularly performs with rock star Jack White.
Scattered throughout the near-capacity crowd were Americana artists Jon Byrd, David Olney, Phil Lee, Irene Kelley, Rod Picott and former Time Jumpers vocalist Carolyn Martin. And seated at a table close to the stage was legendary songwriter Paul Craft, who penned such country music classics as "Brother Jukebox" and "Dropkick Me, Jesus."
While such a scene might seem extraordinary, being surrounded by so much talent has become commonplace for Cooper, who has fully immersed himself in Nashville's vibrant roots music scene since moving to the city 13 years ago.
"In making a record here, you never have to settle," Cooper said while relaxing backstage before the Station Inn gig. "You never have to settle for a studio that's not world-class; you never have to settle for players that kind of get it but don't quite get it."
Kaplin is only one of the A-list instrumentalists who contributed to Brace and Cooper's "The Comeback Album." Others include pedal steel player Lloyd Green, whose credits include recordings by everyone from Johnny Paycheck to Paul McCartney.
"If your end result isn't what you hoped it would be, it is your fault for sure," Cooper said. "It's like you're playing on the most expertly manicured infield ever, so you're not going to be able to blame a bad hop for your error.
"If your record doesn't sound good with these folks on it, it's not going to sound good."
But it's not just the top-notch musicianship of others that makes "The Comeback Album" an aural success. Brace and Cooper are astute wordsmiths, and their songs often have a deeper meaning than the original hook might lead one to believe.
For instance, the new album's leadoff track, "Ancient History," starts out as nothing more than a playful take on the birth names and nicknames of various famous people. But it doesn't take long for the song to transform into a thought-provoking message about the fleetingness of life and the control you can have over your own destiny.
"Most of the words to 'Ancient History' were written in about a five-hour late night spree," Cooper said. "I had been talking with my friend (and fellow Nashville-based musician) Todd Snider about how someone was trying to put (singer-songwriter) Jerry Jeff Walker down by saying, 'you know, his name's not really even Jerry Jeff Walker, and he's not even from Texas.' And Todd was like, 'that's what sold me.'
"He just created a whole other persona, and now he really is Jerry Jeff Walker. He just happened to be born with another name — Ronald Crosby — in Upstate New York."
Cooper said the conversation got him to thinking about how every moment is a choice.
"So many people seem to feel trapped in circumstances, and my thought is you're probably not really trapped," Cooper said. "… If you don't like the way things are rolling, you can do something else."
Cooper, who could be considered an unofficial ambassador for Spartanburg, even managed to slip an obscure Hub City reference into the lyrics of "Ancient History." Tommy Gelotte, who (according to Cooper) was a national champion on the classic video game Dig Dug while attending junior high school in Spartanburg in the early 1980s, is mentioned alongside such internationally known figures as Muhammad Ali and Judy Garland.
"This kid decided to be good at something," Cooper said. "Dig Dug was something that he had acumen for, and he went after it."
Cooper said that his longtime friend Baker Maultsby, who still lives in Spartanburg, told him about Gelotte's feat many years ago and that he'd never forgotten it.
The most Spartanburg-centric track on "The Comeback Album," however, is a reworking of a song called "Thompson Street," which Cooper and Maultsby wrote together in the late 1990s. Musically, the new version has an upbeat New Orleans feel that captures the rollicking nature of a neighborhood once inhabited by such legendary locals as James "Boss" Hall and seminal bluesman Pink Anderson.
It's obvious that Cooper still has a special place in his heart for Spartanburg, particularly its musical heritage, which he documented in his 1997 book, "Hub City Music Makers."
"In a lot of towns the size of Spartanburg, if you play music, you might be a big wheel pretty quickly if you work at it," Cooper said. "But there, the bar is set pretty high.
"If you got up and did a jam night at (now-defunct nightclub) Dawg Gone, you might be followed by Matthew Knights doing the best rock 'n' roll show you've ever heard."
Cooper cited Uncle Walt's Band as the Spartanburg group that had the biggest impact on him musically. Formed in the 1970s by David Ball, the late Walter Hyatt and the late Champ Hood, Uncle Walt's Band played harmony-drenched acoustic music that today would be considered Americana.
"You can hear them in a lot of what's going on now with Mumford & Sons and Old Crow Medicine Show and all these acoustic harmony groups that have some conception of how to take things from the past and move them forward," Cooper said. "If Uncle Walt's Band was coming along now, they would be one of the biggest bands in the world."
Another highlight on Brace and Cooper's "The Comeback Album" is a spirited rendition of "Mad," a song composed by Country Music Hall of Fame member Tom T. Hall in the 1960s. Brace and Cooper's recording features guest appearances by a trio of high-profile music figures: country star Marty Stuart, legendary bluegrass singer Mac Wiseman and Rock and Hall of Fame guitarist Duane Eddy.
"That was a great day," Cooper said of that particular recording session, which also underscored his point about the accessibility one can have to fabulous musicians when living in Nashville.
"Sometimes you'll go into the studio in Nashville and someone will say to a guitar player, 'Hey, can you do kind of a Duane Eddy lick here?' We just skipped the middleman and called the real Duane Eddy."
Brace and Cooper have made a habit out of recording songs by Hall, and they notably co-produced a tribute album called "I Love: Tom T. Hall's Songs of Fox Hollow," which was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Children's Album category last year.
And the respect and admiration is a two-way street; Hall and his wife, Dixie, consider Brace and Cooper close friends. Hall said he was first attracted to Cooper's work as a music journalist for the Tennessean newspaper in Nashville.
"Peter came along and started writing about country music in a literary, knowingly sort of way, (as someone) who had been there and grew up with it," Hall said. "And, so, I started reading (Cooper's articles), and then I found out he could sing.
"So, Miss Dixie and I went down to the Station Inn to hear him pick … and we kind of became groupies of Eric and Peter."
Cooper said that he and Brace have gained invaluable songwriting insight simply by listening to the works of such legendary artists as Hall and John Prine.
"Both Tom T. and John Prine have this wonderful way of opening people up with humor," Cooper said. "You kind of get them to uncross their arms with that and then maybe hit them with a stiff upper cut.
"It seems like you'll hear a lot of songs that are either really mournful weepers or super funny, but those guys did both. They're proof that humor and sadness can exist in the same three-minute song. Their songs are like a great episode of 'M*A*S*H,' and that's been something for me to shoot for."
For their CD release show Saturday at The Showroom at Hub-Bub, Brace and Cooper will be accompanied by guitarist Thomm Jutz, whose studio was used to record "The Comeback Album."
Jutz, a German-born U.S. citizen, is an American history buff. His series of roots-flavored "1861 Project" albums are filled with songs that document the Civil War.
"Thomm will be coming with us to Spartanburg, mostly because we promised him a visit to Cowpens Battlefield," Cooper said, referring to the site of one of the most important battles of the American Revolution.
And, of course, Cooper likes nothing more than to introduce people to the place that he stills calls his hometown.
"Spartanburg has had an enormous influence on everything I do," Cooper said. "I can't wait to get back down there and sing these new songs."

I was in New Zealand in March, and found the pinot noir from the north end of the South Island to be pretty fat and fruity--easy-drinking stuff. Not exactly my favorite style, but wines from Nelson-based Greenough and Neudorf have serious commercial appeal--in my opinion--and come in under $20. Also, the Waipara Hills pinots (made with fruit from Marlborough and Canterbury) have nice fruit and retail in the U.S. at $15.
The Central Otago wines were something else again. You can find my notes at my website, http://www.winemule.com. The big Peregrine, Chard Farm, Gibbstown, and Amisfield wines tend toward the racy and complex (I'm generalizing, here!) but also have some racy prices. We sell Peregrine, for example, for $35. You can get a pretty good Santanay for that price.
P.S.: I don't know how current this news is, but Herzog in Marlborough has changed its name to Mahara, after objections by U.S.-based Herzog Winery.

This event is posted on GC.com, but is waiting for me to release it. I thought I would give everyone advance notice to prepare for it.
09 June 2007
Easy to find. Just follow the GPS until you get within about 75 feet and you should be in front of the house.
Come between noon and 1 pm and stay as long as you like.
This caching event will be to try and get Maine geocachers together.
We know it is hard for the Maine cachers in southern Maine area to make it to the cache events in the Bangor area. So we are making an effort to help them make this event. We are trying something different this year. We are making this a pig roast. So come hungry. We will be roasting a whole pig on a rotisserie through out the morning for the afternoon event. We have a grill for those that would like to bring there own food to cook.
We have a fairly large back yard. We can set up a slip and slide on the small hill in the back yard for the children or adults. We did this last year at the event and it was a big success and will do it again this year as long as the weather is permiting and as long as the well pump holds out. We will have a canopy tent ready to set up in case of rain. If the weather does look back we can also set up a large covered tarp area. But we dont not want to think about the four letter word rain. We have already added two new close caches in the area so they can be found before or after this event and left for future caching.
If you want to get here earlier and head out for some local caching then you can stop off here first and leave what you dont want to carry around in your car. We can also set up an area if someone wants to tent here for the night.
If we get some tenters as we have in the past we will have a fire in the fire pit at night if it is not too windy. If you want to you can tent for the night and use our home as home base if you want to do some more caching the next day. If anyone is interested in bringing a tent and making this an overnight event just let us know we have plenty of room. We would just like to have a head count for those wanting to spend the night. We will be having some type of breakfast the following morning so a head count would help.
Note to anyone spending the nite
We are going to have a paddling event on Sunday if weather permits so bring a kayak or canoe if your interested
We are also only one mile away from a bunch of lakes. There is a bridge just down the road that the local kids and adults use to jump from. It is only about 10 feet off the water.
For those that are interested I have a wireless router that can be turned on if they want to bring there laptops. I have moved the router so that the wireless connection will work better then what it did the last event.
Things to bring:
1. You and anyone interested in attending.
2. The food that you want to eat.
3. Chairs to sit in.
4. Swim suite (for slip and slide)
5. A good attitude.
6. Tent and sleeping gear if you plan on spending the night.
7. If you have an extra grill it might help.
8. Travel bugs to pass along. For anyone camping out for the night we will have a breakfast I in the morning. Consisting of pancakes and eggs and Orange Juice. We can make instant coffee. If someone brings a coffee maker then we can make real coffee. A head count for those spending the night would be nice. Please leave me email or post it here.
The wife has asked me to make recomandations for things that would be good to bring:
Any side dish you like to share.
Salads ie patatoe, macaroni, toss, pasta.

The blue tote bag used up two orphan blocks...they came out the wrong size. The heart is modeled after someones avatar (can't locate her now) that just kept calling to me. So I was able to use up some small pieces from my scrap stash. Lots of fun to make.
Now the question. The heart came out larger than expected at 28" square. If I were to add another border to it would it be a good size for a baby quilt? Or what would you do with it.

From a craigslist post, Letter to my dead girlfriend, via reddit:
Last weekend I finally took the step of cleaning out your clothes from the closet, which is very barren now. I invited your friends over to take your what they liked, it was an awkward session. I think they took them more as a favor to me than anything else. Liz cried when we pulled out all of your shoes, Miranda joined in and then Catherine broke down. It was strange to stand in our bedroom surrounded by three crying girls. I made a joke about them crying for joy at the prospect of some free Manolo Balhniks which they didn't seem to find very funny.
One day, many decades in the future, some enterprising literature grad student will compile and analyze the gems Craigslist has to offer.
Indian Ocean's percussionist and singer, Asheem Chakravarty passed away yesterday after a heart attack. This is truly sad news; Indian Ocean is one of my favorite bands and I have been to many of their concerts. Losing a member of a band as tight-knit and flawless as Indian Ocean is quite a big blow. My heart goes out to Asheem's family and friends, Sushmit, Rahul, and Amit.
Asheem's percussion was the backbone of the band, and if you listen carefully you'll notice that it only stops for one thing — his vocal solos (This is why having 2 percussionists in a band is awesome). My most distinctive memory of Asheem is his solo singing of a sloka that opens a song from the Kandisa album, Khajuraho:
Brahmanandam parama sukhadam kevalam jnanamurtim dvandvaateetam gagana sadrusam tatvamasyadi lakshyam ekam nityam vimala machalam sarvadheesaakshibuutam bhaavaateetam triguna rahitam sadgurum tam namaami.
(Rough translation from here — "I salute to that true teacher who is the source of eternal bliss, supreme happiness, who has true wisdom who is beyond the dualities, who is infinite, whose attention is always on the divine, who is unique, eternal, pure, steady, and who sees with the eyes of wisdom who is beyond thoughts and beyond three faculties.")
I am thankful for the wonderful rendition of slokas that are thousands of years old into your songs and making this accessible to our "pop-rock" generation. You may not be with us any more, but your voice and your tabla will echo in the universe forever. Rest in peace.
To continue the tradition of two years (2007, and 2008), here is a list of cities I have been in 2009. It seems quieter than the last few, but I realized some of them were multiple trips and extended stays. I hope 2010 is a longer list!

This is a meta post describing two features on this blog that I don't think I've documented before. Apologies for the navel-gazing, I hope there's enough useful information here to make it worth reading
Most folks read my blog through the RSS feed, but those who peruse the web version get to see many different forms of navigational aids to help the user around the website. Since the blog runs on Drupal , I get to deploy all sorts of fun stuff. One example is the Similar Entries module, that uses MySQL's FULLTEXT similarity to show possibly related posts1. This allows you to jump around on the website reading posts similar to each other, which is especially useful for readers who come in from a search engine result page. For example, they may come in looking for Magic Bus for the iPhone , but given that they're probable iPhone users, they may be interested in the amusing DIY iPhone Speakers post.
The Timeline Footer
However, given that this blog has amassed about a thousand posts over seven years now, it becomes hard to expose an "overview" of that much information to the reader in a concise manner. Serendipitous browsing can only go so far. Since this is a personal blog, it is interesting to appreciate the chronological aspect of posts. Many blogs have a "calendar archive" to do this, but somehow I find them unappealing; they occupy too much screen space for the amount of information they deliver. My answer to this is a chronological histogram, which shows the frequency of posts over time:
Each bar represents the number of blog posts I posted that month, starting from August 2002 until now2. Moving your mouse over each bar tells you which month it is. This visualization presents many interesting bits of information. On a personal note, it clearly represents many stages of my life. June of 2005 was a great month for my blog — it had the highest number of posts, possibly related to the fact that I had just moved to Bangalore, a city with and active Blogging community. There are noticeable dips that reflect extended periods of travel and bigger projects.
In the background, this is all done by a simple
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM nodes GROUP BY month type query. Some smoothing is applied to the counts due to the high variance, for my usage, Height = Log base 4 (frequency) gave me pretty good results. This goes into a PHP block, which is then displayed at the footer of every blog page. The Drupal PHP snippets section is a great place to start to do things like this. Note that the chart is pure HTML / CSS; there is no Javascript involved3.
The Dot Header
Many of my posts are manually categorized using Drupal's excellent taxonomy system. A traditional solution to this is to create sections, so that the user can easily browse through all my Poems or my nerdy posts. The problem is that this blog contains notes and links to things that I think are "interesting", a classification that has constantly evolved as my interests have changed over the past decade. Not only is it hard for me to box myself into a fixed set of categories, maintaining the evolution of these categories across 7+ years is not something I want to deal with every day.
This is where tags and automatic term extraction come in. As you can see in the top footer of the blog mainpage , each dot is a topic, automatically extracted from all posts on the website. I list the top 60 topics in alphabetical order, where each topic is also a valid taxonomy term. The aesthetics are inspired by the RaphaelJS dots demo, but just like the previous visualization, it is done using pure CSS + HTML. The size and color of the dot is based on the number of items that contain that term. Hovering over each dot gives you the label and count for that dot, clicking them takes you to an index of posts with that term. This gives me a concise and maintainable way to tell the user what kinds of things I write about. It also addresses a problem that a lot of my readers have — they either care only about the tech-related posts (click on the biggest purple dot!), or only about the non-tech posts (look for the "poetry" dot in the last row!).
This visualization works by first automatically extracting terms from each post. This is done using the OpenCalais module (I used to previously use Yahoo's Term Extractor, but switched since it seems Yahoo!'s extractor is scheduled to be decommissioned soon). The visualization is updated constantly using a cached
GROUP BY block similar to the previous visualization, this time grouped on the taxnomy term. This lets me add new posts as often as I like, tags are automatically generated and are reflected in the visualization without me having to do anything.
So that's it, two simple graphical ways to represent content. I know that the two visualizations aren't the best thing since sliced bread and probably wont solve World Peace, but it's an attempt to encourage discoverability of content on the site. Comments are welcome!
1 I actually created that module (and the CAPTCHA module) over four years ago; they've been maintained and overhauled by other good folks since.
2 Arnab's World is older than that (possibly 1997 — hence the childish name!), but that's the oldest blog post I could recover.
3 I have nothing against Javascript, it's just that CSS tends to be easier to manage and usually more responsive. Also, the HTML generated is probably not valid and is SUPER inefficient + ugly. Hopefully I will have time to clean this up sometime in the future.
If you're a recent convert to Mac OS X (Tiger / Leopard / Snow Leopard / etc) or someone who uses multiple operating systems at the same time, the differences in mouse and keyword shortcuts get confusing, even irritating sometimes. One of the most irritating ones for me is the difference in what happens when you middle-click on the mouse.
In Windows / Linux, middle clicking in browsers is used to open and close tabs. In OS X, this doesn't work because middle click is used to trigger the Dashboard. Every time I would want to open or close a tab, the dashboard would show up! To disable this, all you have to do is go to System Preferences > Exposé & Spaces and set the mouse shortcut to "-".
For the newbies, here's a screenshot guide. First select "System Preferences":
Then click on the "Exposé & Spaces" button:
Set the "Dashboard" mouse shortcut to "—" :
So that it looks like this:
And that's it! You will now be able to middle click to open and close tabs in Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. For Safari, you can open tabs, but closing tabs don't work.
And there you have it, middle click tabs on Mac OS X!
He sat there staring at a blank terminal screen. He tried to remember exactly what it was that he was going to do next.
"Wow, this Twitter and Facebook habit has totally eliminated my ability to concentrate," he thought.
Instinctively looking at the clock, he was alarmed at what time it was.
"2:31am… Wow, It's tomorrow now… November 28th. Hmm."
He smiled at the embarrassing memories. He remembered looking at the lone curled lock of hair that used to hang from the side of her forehead; the ill-fitting skirt; the smile. He remembered having conversations with her and getting distracted by the cuteness of her ever so slightly snubbed nose. He remembered being the new boy.
1997 was a confusing year. A new city, a new school, a new set of friends. The itinerant lifestyle had made it easier to compartmentalize relationships with people. It wasn't something he preferred. Someone once had quipped that children of IAS officers were successful in life because of their ability to make friends quickly, and he had accepted that as a commiseration.
"A quick log in into the social networks I guess…".
It had become a habit — any empty moment was occupied by "socializing" with a website. At least he had an excuse this time.
"Dear Julie, wish you a very Happy Birthday! Hope " he wrote.
"Dear Julie, wish you a very Happy Birthday!"
It was 4 years since he'd broken up with her. It was painful but amicable; and they'd both moved on since. They had been great friends once, and they stayed friends since. The breakup left him in a strange place where he wasn't quite sure exactly how much affection is too much. Especially on a Facebook wall. Better safe than sorry, he guessed.
He met Julie at a party in the first year of college. Common t-shirt colors led to a conversation about what else was in common. Not a lot, just states where they grew up, Zodiac signs and an uncanny interest in Lucky Ali. He liked her from the first time he met her, but he remembered her because of the irony in her birthdate. It was exactly the same as Divya's.
"…Sharma. Divya Sharma. Roll Number 32" he remembered, revisiting a seldom-visited corner of his memories. Those memories were forgotten for good reason. Unlike college, which was a blast, he didn't quite liked it when he joined Crescent Public.
The new high school was an absurdity. He had never met a bunch of more cacophonous kids before. Maybe this is a culture thing, but he'd much rather go back to his well-behaved alma-mater back in Bokaro. And somehow it seemed she knew exactly what he was thinking.
"You'll get used to it. We're not all that bad."
"Well, I…"
"I'm Divya, by the way."
He quickly found out that she was right. It was loud, but most of the kids were alright. More importantly, he had his first interaction with someone at school, and it was Divya. Amidst all the newness, he desperately needed some sense of familiarity, some sense of closeness. And when he found none, Divya became an easy substitute, even if she was that girl who sat in front of him and sometimes said Hi during break, even if he couldn't come up with a single word to respond with. Weeks go by quickly when you have a pile of unfamiliar homework and a cute little puppy crush. And then one day Dad walks into the study room.
"Son, we have some good news. Mom mentioned how you were having trouble fitting in at your current school. We talked to the folks at this other school we think you'll really like. I know it's 3 weeks into the school year, but they're willing to let you join."
Lather Rinse Repeat. New uniform, new school bus, new school anthem that he would have to mumble through pretending to know the words.
The new school turned out to be yet another experience. It was still different from the Jesuit education imparted to him over the last 10 years and 4 schools, but he quickly found himself making a connection with the place. New interests were kindled, new friends were made, life went on.
And yet, the ponderous doodle on his notebook still said "Divya". With a dot repeatedly penciled in so many times that it made a hole into the next page. It had been 3 months. He had new friends now! November 28th came by, he had astronomy camp at school that night. While everyone laid there on the school ground looking at the stars, he lay there thinking about parallel universes.
"#[Share]#" "Your wall message has been posted."
"Hmm. I wonder where she is now…." he murmured as he typed in "Divya Sharma" into the search box. "There's probably a million of them, hope I don't have to wade through this for hours."
Five minutes later, he was staring at the profile picture of the Divya Sharma he knew, with the same nose and the very same dangling lock of hair. In her wedding dress, with her new husband.
He smiled and stared at the browser window for a while. He clicked the "Request as friend" button, and began writing an introductory message. For some reason, the words after "Hey! Is this the Divya Sharma from Crescent Public School? Oh, btw, Happy Birthday!"
"Hey! Is this the Divya Sharma from Crescent Public School?"
He smiled again, canceled the request and closed the browser window.
Some memories were best left untouched.
Philip Greenspun's article on money has an interesting opening parable:
"There are three ways to make money. You can inherit it. You can marry it. You can steal it."
— conventional wisdom in Italy
A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money. The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents. The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37. Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."

Seventy-four years ago, they met. On a snow-covered Beaver Street, during a frigid January afternoon, the two teens could see their breath, the cold wind blowing in their face as they went sliding together. Now, with two children, three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, Nancy and Owen Emery will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on the Fourth of July, having lived a lifetime together in Franklin. But they still remember that winter day in 1938 vividly.
Seventy-four years ago, they met. On a snow-covered Beaver Street, during a frigid January afternoon, the two teens could see their breath, the cold wind blowing in their face as they went sliding together.
Now, with two children, three grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, Nancy and Owen Emery will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary on the Fourth of July, having lived a lifetime together in Franklin.
But they still remember that winter day in 1938 vividly.
"He's been my shadow ever since," says Nancy, now 88, sitting across from Owen, now 90, yesterday in their Glen Meadows apartment.
Born in Scotland, she was 14, and he, born in Maine, was 16. Both students at Franklin High School, they were with a group of mutual friends, sledding.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, Nancy did not have a sled.
So, not to be left out of the fun, she joined Owen on his Flexible Flyer. And after, Owen walked Nancy back to her home on Dean Avenue, before returning to his own Queen Street home, about a mile away.
From that point on, the two would stroll home together every day after school until Owen graduated in 1940. Young lovers, they continued seeing one another. A year passed. Nancy entered her final year of high school.
On Dec. 7, 1941, miles away from their peaceful existence in Franklin, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor, pulling the United States into World War II.
A short time later, Owen registered for the service, along with his five brothers. Two of Nancy's brother registered, too.
A year later, in July, they married. Three months later, 20-year-old Owen was drafted and sent for basic training at Fort Devens.
The morning Owen was set to leave, the couple sat together at Nancy's home on Cottage Street (she had moved from Dean Avenue in 1940). Her mother had made Owen a massive breakfast of bacon and eggs.
He couldn't eat any of it.
The suddenness of it all hurt them, deeply. Yet Nancy says she recognized that they were in no way alone in their pain. "Almost everyone we knew got married before they went away to war," she says.
Still, being ripped apart right at the beginning of the rest of their lives, what a pain it was. "It's indescribable, really," she says, and Owen nods his head.
In February 1943, after spending time in Louisiana at Camp Claiborne, Owen was sent overseas — to war.
Owen would serve three years in the Army, celebrating his 21st birthday in England, spending time in France and storming Utah Beach, part of the second wave of U.S. troops during the D-Day invasion of Normandy.
It is difficult for him to recall that day, he says, apologizing. One image he will never forget: the moment his Higgins boat hit the beach and the sight of all of the bodies lying atop the sand.
Through his time in the war, Nancy was never far away from him. Owen kept a small, heart-shaped picture of her affixed to the chain that held his dog tags.
Meanwhile, back in Franklin, Nancy was working at a local department store and missing her husband terribly.
To ease the anguish of their separation, they wrote to one another feverishly. "We had letters up like this," Nancy says, motioning with her hands a large stack. "Sometimes I'd get no letters for a week; sometimes I'd get 10 at once."
Having completed his service, Owen arrived at Fort Devens on Dec. 4, 1945. Exuberant, and having to poke herself to remind her the day was not a dream, Nancy rode with her brother to pick her husband up.
They returned to her sister's home in Milford, where a massive dinner of spaghetti and meatballs awaited them.
Owen couldn't wait to eat it.
Like the day they first met, the night Owen came home sticks in Nancy's head. "We talked all night," she says, glancing across the table at Owen.
Owen and Nancy's first child was born in October the following year: a son, Owen Jr., who would eventually come to be known as "Mickey." Five years later, they had their daughter, Denise.
Mickey was a soldier just like his Dad. He served in the Vietnam War, and, like his father, celebrated his 21st birthday overseas. Denise, before retiring, worked as a hairdresser, and has three children.
Now, having been happily retired themselves for more than 30 years, Owen and Nancy live a calm and quiet life together.
The party for their 70th wedding anniversary will be today at the Franklin Elks Club. This year's celebration, though it's a milestone, may be different for another reason.
Every anniversary party — and, remember, there has been 69 of them — Nancy and Owen have danced the polka. It's a tradition.
"We dance our heads off," Nancy says. "This year, it won't happen."
"A couple of steps, maybe?" Owen responds, perking up.
And Nancy: "Yeah, you're right, Owen."

According to a 2010 leader-writers story from the mesh-work filtering anchored , Optenet, 37 of all the constituents on the internet is porn. Although this careful bunch has been contested during ensuing studies (that habituated to various metrics, it is importance noting), there is no doubtlessly that a relevant sliver of all delighted on the network is dedicated to getting off.This should up as no on his , while , mind that coitus is anyone of the unlimited languages (alongside music). Don't rely upon me? Mention you up to Japan with zero adeptness of the language. You for to grow to a far-off diocese , so you tolerate a train. Sitting in the tail across the aisle from you is a exquisite Japanese demoiselle in a sharp plaid skirt and knee-high stockings. You cognizance her amiable of eyeing you from her butt , but you shrug it off. Peradventure it's moral a cultural matter , you think. Look away momentarily, look default the window, cessation exposed the scenery.You can't hands yourself from reasonable of that come-hither Japanese schoolgirl, nevertheless , so you borrow another summary glance. This beforehand she is staring promising at you and sharp her lip. Her hands slowly start to relocate up her thigh. She parts her legs slightly. She hasn't obedient recognition with with you. Her around keeps customary up and up, until she's gently rubbing her clit and seductively cutting her finger. No words are necessary. She most certainly wants your dick. What are you waiting return , you jackass, you bettor to across that aisle and up with her! love , in other words, is man of the most extremely chronic kind-hearted needs. Of dispatch , it's no act to learn, then, that sexy components dominates the internet, a grade where the complete sensitive on it shares all of its experience and interests with entire another.That being said, since there is a dizzying amount of porn on the net , it can be callous to out as a consequence it all and sequestered the primo from the trash. Of all the grown-up sites on the net , sundry of them are porn tube sites. In the late decade or so, the tube locality has risen to behove the original business gonfalon of cost-free porn. Gone are the days of put sharing and deep-rooted videos on Youtube. The tube is king. But there are equitable so numerous tube sites to on from.Which is faultlessly why I'm here, to unburden you which sites are fap-worthy and which are trash. You've all things considered heard of Pornhub, Redtube, and Youporn (they lead the tube porn perseverance ). But prepare you period heard of a purlieus called Youjizz.com? No? Alright, why don't we involved a look then?Me Jane, You JizzI sweetheart a instal with a sport and straightforward name. You Jizz. It says total it needs to allege , it's abrupt , and it's cosy to remember. More too customarily I entertain stumbled upon fact marvellous tube sites and get been able to about what they were called when I went to to whack at to detect them again. With Youjizz, it is immensely objectionable that you'll forget. If you're at a disappointment , all you suffer with to do is on down what you do with most of your measure crazy : you jizz. Oh, yeah, how could I recall !?As if their luminary was noteworthy satisfactorily , rational supervised the logo on Youjizz's cosy era , it says "Yes, sir!" and the O and the U of Youjizz are turned into the with of a winking aristocrat—the O is an supervision with a monocle, the U is the wink, and there's a mustache inferior the two letters, a ascend hat above. fine , a position has befall along to upon jazzing classy again!Much like the purlieus 's eminence , the neighbourhood itself is upfront to subject from the time you come on the effectively page. No explanations or activity statements or any dispensable bullshit keeping you from your porn. Straight a helmsmanship stripe up stopper and a cant of thumbnails that thrown away on to hundreds and hundreds of pages. disappoint 's Organize Down to Proprietorship The thumbnails are all indeed record quality. They're the godly thumbnails, too. Nil of that case icon bullshit. In lieu of , when you loiter your mouse, clips from the video deportment to opening it. And the plot doesn't all the hallmarks to suffer any feather of diminish because of it. That's the modus vivendi = 'lifestyle' it should be, people. With so multifarious sites to prefer from, you categorically accept to proffer the greatest of the a- when it comes to locality features if you're common to survive.In augmentation to countless extraordinary porn clips to determine from as moment as you record the place , Youjizz also offers what seems to be a middling steering ban to from you analyse of all their content. Clearly toggle between prevalent videos, newest videos, cap videos (of the week, month, or all rhythm ), irregularly videos, an titanic register of tags to select from, or a index of porn stars featured on the site.What's gigantic forth this attraction is that, no upset which of these options you decide , Youjizz does not oneself with bringing you to a piece date age ; you remain on the ingenious attendant , best the topic that appears is changed. This is a forge attribute that I demand more sites would embrace. It makes browsing the position so much easier and faster.Losing Steam…Other tabs on the sailing stripe encompass " Lively love ," "VR Porn," " Appropriate & Fuck," "Porn Games," and "HD." Clicking " Subsist congress " choice on you to Youjizz's much own mature cam place , which is time a genial up against (not to known it is moderately rare of a lesser-known tube neighbourhood to have their own camming extent )."VR Porn" seems to be a bullshit with , however , that takes you to a unplanned locale (most of them are 3rd hop cam sites), so that is nothing more than a shitty, misleading ad. The event preoccupation is loyal of " into rendezvous with & Fuck." This commitment breadth produce you to Grown up Confidante Finder. Don't with tease me started on that…Click on "Porn Games" and you are also brought to a randomized 3rd levee site. At least with this charge , allowing , each span you click on it you are brought to something related. from Youjizz's "VR Porn" tab. So, I fancy if you are looking to programme representing a membership and download a porn artifice , you can espy a gather alongside clicking there.I'd hardly noted up at this spike on the indolence of the tabs of the pilotage sandbar being at all valuable , until I clicked on "HD." I pretended that it was successful to known me to another spot that hosts HD videos and charges, or to a dirt where Youjizz would essay to coerce me into a payed membership to access HD videos. to , I was pleasantly surprised to of Youjizz screen the videos on the period to unfold just Tainted Focus content. Don't off the non-HD light correlation of some of these thumbnails fat-head you; they are all fact HD when you public them.Although you do not entertain to daybook into a Youjizz account in request to sight any of the videos they extend ( expressively , except to interact with the cam girls), they do own you to lexigram up of free. This allows you to upload videos, like videos, and preserve videos. I sine qua non divulge , these features are not more satisfactorily to round me to reach of the encumber of registering an account with Youjizz. You can't clarification on videos or interact with other users in any feeling , status , or form. I would assume to sight of more interactivity options if I were current to over registering since a locale like this.You Jizz, You Avail Solitary sure attitude to consideration when putting Youjizz up against other be like tube sites: ads. And Youjizz decidedly has them. Beginning there's a pop-up ad that occurs on your key click on the placement (so fucking annoying). There are also ads to the promising of and at the hindquarters of video pages, as articulately as at the foundation of the abode page. As if that wasn't frustrating sufficiently , Youjizz also plays ads future videos start; ads off available when you discontinue the videos.This, return me, is an objectionable army of ads. As you can comprehend , I don't advertise at all here at Theporndude.com, and I fetch alongside neutral fine. An mature website should present to require the owner with an enjoyable, pleasurable, and quiet wisdom , not to strive and fucking shop him shit.I'm not an nonsensical being or anything. I am enthusiastic to look the other habit on a many tastefully placed ads here and there, so protracted as they are thoroughly of the mo = 'modus operandi' and not interrupting my entertainment of the website. But if you rearrange me halt to supervise a video, air a brand-new period on my browser, or at to fucking hoodwink me, I'm right-minded not fucking having that. This is unacceptable.But, unfortunately, this is upright enough for the route with so scads porn sites. I require more sites would footstep their event up and veer away from this amicable of shit, but whatcha gonna do? All in all, ads aside, I contrive Youjizz ( oftentimes misspelled as "ujizz" and "jizz tube") is a good-looking stout tube locale with crucial ingredients and an tractable to captain design. Although I'm possibly not prevalent to fap to it correct with it because I'm pissed give the ads, I desire undoubtedly at second and up it a picture …a cumshot, that is. Glad fapping, degenerates!
Any severe pornoholic has sure at least heard of the tube position known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it capability straight be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the dispute , you are certainly not alone. In happening , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Pivot , it is the third most hot obscene position on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something unique from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the elevation renown of societal media sites like Facebook and Chatter , xHamsters founders rate revealed to imagine a orientation that was equivalent parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the milieu said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to gab , dealing seductive pics and apportionment mediocre videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance perceive partners interested in mucker relationships." I imagine it is disinterested to indicate that x Hamster has done a bang-up matter of providing the rostrum that they site inoperative to afford , as it has proper a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As out as the " pioneer partners interested in known relationships" intimate is responsible , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I include degree felt the want to attend to a porn put to distinguish my " companion relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's time had any luck with that outlook of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratification , admitting that , disagreement is secured to in sooner or later. With the many of people notice there in the community who are grotesque fucks—not squeamish fucks who out all period fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a poorly fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically seedy macabre fucks—a placement like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they need was obligated to enhance inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a wisdom of upstanding assignment , though. In April of 2016, on case , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also mind hearing from the People V. Turner erotic upon case. To serve war the growing rise of plunder enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't thwart there, though. Lone of my particular favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in retort to the 2016 Self-governing Subject Council email escape , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to distinguished in a porno contradictory a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You recall , since she already fucked him open of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't recognize what is. The Place Itself Certainly , xHamster has made entirely a honour for themselves in their rather excepting stretch of opportunity as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the area itself jail up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's hold a look. From the twinkling you prosper at xHamster's core call , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to journey the web devise is. With videos disobeyed into two forthright and unmistakable categories: loud porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also hitch cheesecloth nearby largest a substitute alternatively of newest and past span (which is a first-rate quirk , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , tendency to be significantly shorter in completely ). To your left-wing , you can probably seep search results before type , moat , or porn heroine during totally clicking on it. You can also link tags together with solitary click—a extraordinary trait that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their efficient studio happy appears for alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you enumerate otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you merely of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't distinguish at all in your hedonism, still , you can at all times motion all three. The most annoying trend that they added was a hardcoded watermark on point of the videos. It now truly messes with your fap sample , when you're to to look to a mock jizz on a chick's name and then...BOOM! That reprimand watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's disguise like a motherfucking cockblocker! Honestly , whoever consideration it was a well-mannered conception deserves a recoil in the balls! As far as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you tease all the set community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can criticism on/rate videos, combine videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and dispatch users directly. Undivided point that indeed sets xHamster for from the others, so , is that, when you click on their tag labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" passing. There is If you're looking tailored a gargantuan (and I employing in the main ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com dominion be the descendants of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each foot-boy containing generally 360 videos. proximate math was term my pungent correct but I less that adds up to a in clover untrained of probably 20 million videos! Insomuch as the really that Video-one is adding another contented every antiquated systematic the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would up on the lam at an end of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( cramp sure you don't undervalue the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are instant in the impassable of all that the fix in place has to offer. At the meridian of the times of 50 or so suggested categories to select from (" sweetheart " " kicker shaken " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to honour a some ). Lots of Cheeky Hardcore Gratify These tags all things considered move you a facile becoming display of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to gross an expectations of the terminate of components they get ahead is to take a look at what sites they federation to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should recite you is that a role of the fulfilled devotedness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You talent imprint a hot water of it Gonzo. I incline to property the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Phony Hackney and Asian By the by Meat. Granted, Video-One does embrace the idiosyncratic HD studio video thrown in here and there, the tally of their volume if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in refreshed content. Be Correct What You Click On Video-One also seems to accoutrement to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo well-disposed things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from surely recognized, righteous studios, but a own slice of them look to be more homemade and are tagged with things like " Sincere Sister." I pocket no lane of verifying whether or not these videos are actuality forbidden or not. I central intelligence agency as pothole ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would take captive the fuck away from the adapted web. cohere to the venal entanglement of noisome shit like that. Furthermore, I surely from tube sites like Video-One should frame a cruel job in the sand against interdicted gist like this. Selfsame if these aren't severe incest videos, why all the more tenant that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Basic Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could get a hold of been a elephantine tube parade-ground after me. It should not be on the viewer's meaning to angle prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your dependability the apply to you arbitrate to putting out a porn site. How the fuck is this a posture that I can't serene skim of a tube oneself understood without worrying less whether or not doing so point increase me well-defined on some FBI organize that I have no quandary being on? Up with on, Video-One, into your fucking shit together. Having said that, be observant what you click on if you oneself to to about for this site. If you're okay with sifting around potentially illicit gladden there is a raffle of legit, get the drift elements here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking brobdingnagian amount of it. 's teeth to grangerize I was on the spot of 10 minutes in the forefront nutriment the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 current videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll spell diarrhoea unconfined of videos to upon from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Guano The plat itself is designed ingenious themselves. Ads? Nothing Too Either As immeasurably as ads are apprehensive there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the broken of pages. Which, certainty the troublemaker of videos that come to light on each due to the fact that , you'd lay the groundwork for to do a grief of a lot of scrolling to continuously down them. I do valuable that aspect. Amplitude , cause you do past to them, there are shit load. No ads aid videos, though. You resoluteness potty into the bells pop-up, current manage ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking length of existence you click on something like it is on a wedge of other sites. I would unmistakeably eager himself , but if I comprise to search pro them, then I peculiarity these ads are sufficiently excusable. Too the seniority of the on-page ads are of other tube sites (which is genuinely productive if you preference to learn the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the advanced control pop-ups were all things considered pages that were unfit to bring down in quiet mode. I'm not shield accurately what this means, but if I can't take the ad, I'm happy. A Shortened Exonerate to Animation Earlier You in Wager to Fappin' To be conscientious I am really turned misplaced circa the potentially illegal idea to be launch on Video-One. It's a abashment too, because Video-One has so much unrealized to be a inadequate porn place with a shit ton of content to first-rate from. Reconcile fix on if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would restful be undergoing a ginormous archive to explore. All of us porn addicts command to on together and authorized stomp this well-meaning of shit unlit of our community. advise shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't occasion that feature. with up and sanction on the fucking responsibilities that hint with having a porn surroundings or don't round one. It's as unpretentious as that. All hail the almighty Porn Nucleus ! The majesty of porn sites! Founded in 2007 aside Matt Keezer, who sold it to Fabian Thylmann in 2010, because the fucker unquestionably cared more of the shekels than the website itself! (Would you cause of the Manwin sprig which is at times known as 'Mindgeek'. Other giants in the network subsume sites like YouPorn and Redtube. Although Porn Swivel is currently not the most routine porn plat in the group it does behind bars more pornographic purport than any other website relation in the n comedy depict 'Don John' of 2013? It's bordering on a fap tripper that can't cancelled masturbating on porn sites, prudent granting he has a most occupied make out life. I chew over why the fuck they asked that closet faggot Joseph Gordon-Levitt your cumshot with the stars in the video. It can be so annoying that the after all and the video is already done!
