Thanks to some kind comments to my last blog post on the new developments at Ancestry.com, I have even more information about the lines. Please take time to read the comments to my post entitled, "Amazing, really cool developments from Ancestry.com" to see the complete information.
It appears that this development has been under construction for some time on a collection by collection basis. So whether or not you see it, depends entirely on whether or not you look at a collection where the effect has been implemented. It was apparently one of the features discussed at RootsTech 2013. There were quite a few things going on in my head at RootsTech 2013 and so it is not surprising that I didn't focus on this one detail.
The change caught my eye as something obviously useful and elegantly implemented. Thanks again to Ancestry.com.

Description for Syngonium Podophyllum White Butterfly
As a young plant, its leaves start out heart-shaped, then gradually become arrowhead shaped as it matures. Its dark-green leaves have silvery white or cream variation, making this a decorative and popular house plant. Although it may be grown outdoors in some regions, the arrowhead plant is typically grown as a house plant.
Planting and care
It is easily grown is a house plant in warm, humidified areas. Prefers bright indirect light. Protect from direct sun. May be grown on a moss pole or in a hanging basket. Best grown in a soil based potting mix.
Water regularly during the growing season, but reduce watering from fall to late winter.
Likes high humidity, so consider sitting plant in a humidified room or place pot on a tray of wet pebbles.
Water less often in winter, letting the top half of the potting mix dry out.
In winter, feed monthly.
Caring for Syngonium Podophyllum White Butterfly
- Arrowhead plant care requires humid conditions, especially during dry winter months.
- Mist the plant daily or place its container on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase humidity for optimal growth.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight, as this will cause the arrowhead plant to burn or bleach.
- The arrowhead plant root structure is quite extensive, spreading and growing to the point of becoming invasive in the wild.
- Even within a contained environment, because of arrowhead plant root structure, the plant should be repotted every second spring.
Typical uses of Syngonium Podophyllum White Butterfly
Special features: As a house plant, it is typically grown for its attractive ornamental foliage which changes shape as the leaves mature.
Juvenile leaves are ovate with heart-shaped bases and sometimes with silver variegation.
Ornamental use: Hanging plant, twining or climbing, groundcover, potted plant when young. Display arrowhead plant alongside a group of other foliage plants or add it to a dish garden. Small plants mix well with compact peace lilies and English ivy because they require similar care.

Who is the mystery man in Great Grandma's old photo album?
As with many photograph collections bequeathed to descendants, the happy (or hapless) recipient can become dismayed by a lack of proper dating and other identification on such family treasures. Our past family members knew the full names, addresses, and daily habits of everyone represented in the images they so carefully collected and displayed. Why would it occur to them--those common sense farmers and homesteaders--that someone a hundred or more years in the future would be tearing their hair out, trying to piece together the relationships and everyday details of their lives? What a silly notion! Yet, nearly every genealogist has had the experience of caring enough to suffer that very frustration.
That is exactly the way I felt when I ran across two of the many unidentified photographs in the Victorian-era cabinet card album owned by my great grandparents, Ole and Malla (Larson) Johnson of Leonard, Minnesota. The two photos shown below did not fit the overall theme of family and friends. For one thing, they were a bit too formal looking. For another, the persons bore no family resemblance, at least that I could tell.
|Photo A
Lars O. Skrefsrud (1840-1910)
The signature in the lower right-hand corner was
undecipherable without addition information.
Photo is dated 1894/95.
|Photo B
Lars and Anna Skrefsrud, foreground, with
Rev. Hans Peter Børresen (1825-1901).
Photo is dated 1894/95.
Links to photos A and B, along with the rest of my great grandparents' album, were posted on this blog in the hope that relatives might be able to help identify them. Soon after, I heard from a cousin, Kristie Formolo of Wisconsin, who said, "The good news is that I have lucked into identifying two of the photos from your red Johnson/Larson photo album! The bad news is... now you have another mystery to solve!"
Kristie collects vintage "dog and people" photographs and spotted a copy of cabinet card Photo B on eBay. She purchased it, thinking that the unidentified photo was interesting, but before she received it in the mail she recognized it as identical to one she had seen in my Johnson/Larson Picasa Web album. At first, she was shocked that I might be auctioning off old family photos. But, she said she came to her senses quickly and realized I would never do that evil deed. Instead, there was a second copy, and perhaps more, of this unidentified Johnson/Larson album photo floating around. She immediately e-mailed the eBay seller; the reply came that the photo was acquired somewhere in southwestern Wisconsin, but no further information was available. My great grandparents, Ole and Malla Johnson, lived in northwestern Minnesota: close, but not the exact same location. The plot thickens!
Some time later, Cousin Kristie was again searching for the same type of collectible photo:
And now here comes the best part... A couple of weeks ago, I was once again looking for dog photos on eBay and Lo and Behold, the same exact dog and people cabinet card photo was listed... ...The two gentlemen, and you are going to love this... they are not only identified, but they are actually quite famous! One is a Dane and one is a Norwegian and together they founded the Santal Mission in India.
The identities of the two men were, therefore, confirmed as: a Norwegian missionary, Lars Olsen Skrefsrud, and a Danish reverend by the name of Hans Peter Børresen. Kristie's remaining question after her initial discovery was: if the two men were living in India, what were they doing in Minnesota during the mid-1890s? Both photos A and B were taken by a photographer Elias G. E. Dorge, who operated a studio at 1819 Riverside Avenue in Minneapolis from 1891-1914. Now, that's quite a long way from India. But, I'm happy to say I have solved the second part of the mystery, now that Cousin Kristie has solved the critical part concerning their identities.
Lars O. Skrefsrud was a renowned speaker and highly respected religious leader, especially during the 1890s. N. N. Rønning, who wrote about Skrefsrud in a biography published by the Santal Mission in America, summarized that the respect was earned because he "went forth from poverty and prison and became one of the great missionaries of modern times."
He was a dynamic personality and powerful preacher. 'When [Skrefsrud] arose to speak, the land shook,' said a Santal elder. 'He was reared in the land of rocks and made a great contribution to Norway's shining saga at home and abroad,' wrote a Danish pastor. 'When he spoke, minutes sped as seconds, hours grew too brief; the fire in his eyes and the burning enthusiasm in his words captivated all who heard him,' declared a Norwegian educator.
Skrefsrud was born in 1840 in the parish of Faaberg, Gudbrandsdalen, one of the most picturesque areas of Norway. His father is said to have been a man of initiative who was a skilled carpenter, blacksmith, and house builder. His mother was a devout woman who often worried about her gifted, but "strong-willed and impulsive" son, Lars. Despite his upbringing in a stable family environment and religious training as a youth, Skresfrud was swayed toward bad behavior after beginning an apprenticeship in Lillehammer as a coppersmith at about age 14. After progressing from heavy drinking to burglary along with other young men, he was eventually arrested. He spent one year under arrest, and was then sentenced to four years hard labor in an Oslo penitentiary. Filled with true remorse, Skrefsrud experienced a religious epiphany while in prison. His renewed faith gave him joy and motivation, but it also resulted in great happiness for a "devout and courageous" farm girl from Faaberg named Anna Onsum, who served as Skrefsrud's penpal while he was incarcerated. Anna would later become his wife.
After missionary school, Skrefsrud traveled to India, where he became interested in Santalistan, a district 160 miles northwest of Calcutta. Skrefsrud's wife and the Børresens later joined him. They secured possession of some land from the Rajah, and in September 1867, the missionaries began building huts of branches and leaves. Børresen described the situation: "Our neighbors," he said, "were tigers, bears, elephants, wildcats, and hyenas; our common household was composed of rats, snakes, and innumerable insects which visited us every night."
During the years that Skrefsrud served as a missionary in India, phenomenal progress was seen. When he agreed to visit the Norwegians in America, his fame and reputation preceded him. Skrefsrud arrived in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the spring of 1894, and invitations from Norwegian-American congregations began to multiply. Over a fifteen month period, he traveled almost incessantly, speaking several times a day to capacity crowds. It was during one of these events that my great grandparents must have acquired the two photos of Skrefsrud that were kept in their photograph album. Exactly when and where they listened to Skrefsrud speak is not known. What is certain, is the effect Skrefsrud's speech must have had on them.
N. N. Rønning, the author of the Skrefsrud biography referenced in this article, described his own experience while seeing and hearing the Santal missionary for the first time. He was teaching parochial school in Grafton, North Dakota, and joined many others at the local Opera House, which was filled to overflowing for the event.
On the great day people came walking or driving from all directions... When I had been told that Skrefsrud could, as it were, hold large audiences in the hollow of his hand for two hours or more and make people laugh and weep at will, foolish young university student that I was, I made up my mind that he could not 'get' me... Well, he 'got' me. I have never before or since been so helplessly and hopelessly under the spell of a speaker, and that from the time he uttered the first sentence. It was not only what he said, but the way he said it and the way he looked which had such compelling power.
Lars O. Skrefsrud returned to India and his missionary duties on September 25, 1895. He died in 1910, after 47 years in India. Upon his death, friends and acquaintances remarked: "Skrefsrud was one of the most remarkable men in the Norwegian Lutheran Church. By nature he was endowed with tremendous power and glowing enthusiasm..." Also, "Skrefsrud was a powerful personality, cast in the mold of the Viking chiefs of old." His legacy, as understood by common Norwegian Americans like my great grandparents, was a simple but powerful one: he was a man whose outstanding characteristic was as a "sinner saved by grace." Aside from Skrefsrud's great charisma and powerful speeches, it was more than enough to inspire a generation of Norwegian American Christians.

Young designer Min-Kyo Choi has bagged the Design Museum-backed Brit Insurance Design Award 2010 for his novel take on Britain's bulky three-pin power plug.
Choi's design, which Reg Hardware featured back in June 2009, packs the standard UK plug in to a flat unit 48 x 44 x 10mm.
Design Award winner: Choi's three-pin plug
The live and neutral pins can be rotated from a horizontal to vertical position so that they sit underneath the plug's earth pin. The plug's body can then be folded flat allowing for easy stowage.
The fuse fits into the cord connection, and there's a handle to allow you to pull the plug out of socket.
The Award judges - who had already voted Choi's plug as the year's top design in the Product category - praised his "elegant design" and "transformation" of an everyday object.
Choi's concept beat winners from the Awards' architecture, fashion, furniture, graphics, interactive and transport categories - among them the late Alexander McQueen.
South Korea-born Choi only completed his design MA, at the Royal College of Art, last year. ®

MWC 15 Special
While HTC's brand new and today's announced One M9 is a really important release for HTC, the Taiwanese smartphone specialist tried rather an evolution than a revolution of ithe current line of high-end smartphone series. While the specs all read good, the One M9 (formerly known and code-named as "HTC Hima which stands for "Himalaya") comes with Android 5.0.2/Lollipop, the brand new and enhanced HTC Sense 7, the clear focus was again on design (more about it later). Other high-end specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64 bit octa-core CPU where 4 cores running at up to 2 GHz and the other cores run up to 1.5 GHz. It furthermore supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS/HSPA+/HSUPA at 850/900/1900/2100 MHz (varies by region) and 4G/LTE bands 1,3,5,7,8,20,28 or TDD bands 38,40,41 (also varies by region).
Other wireless features include Bluetooth 4.1 with aptX, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (at 2.4 and 5 GHz), NFC, HTC Connect for wirelessly streaming media from the phone to compatible multi-room audio systems, TVs, portable speakers and home entertainment systems, DLNA for wirelessly streaming media from the phone to a compatible TV or computer as well as HDMI MHL 3.0 via the micro USB 2.0 port.There will be one memory version only. The One M9 will have 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of flash memory which can be expanded by microSD memory cards.
Also enhanced is the camera. Unlike the last two Ones, HTC has given up with UltraPixel but is now using a 20 megapixel autofocus camera (from Sony) with a BSI sensor and a f/2.2 27.8 mm sapphire cover lens which allows to record 4K UHD videos. However, HTC has not completely given up with ultrapixel but this time it put it into the front-camera which is now a f/2.0, 26.8 mm ultra wide-angle HTC UltraPixel lens which allows 1080p Full HD video recording.Not a surprise at all is that the M9 is also featuring HTC BoomSound which now comes with Dolby Audio 5.1-like support.
All this is shown on a 5.0" Full HD 1080p Gorilla Glass protected display and the dual-tone metal unibody measures 144.6 x 69.7 x 9.61 mm and weights 157 g; including the 2840 mAh battery.
As said before, the M9 is rather an evolution than a revolution since the HTC's plan was to build an icon and to keep what was great before - the precision of M7 and the ergonomics of M8 - by addressing the weakness. The result is the very fashionable M9, which comes with a minimal design and reduced part count, a single part front bezel which is overall thinner and smaller and a much stronger focus on materials. And HTC is very proud to introduce an industry first dual finish (as used in the watch industry) which also sports jewelry grade hairline finish and a new scratch resistant coating. All this results in over 70 steps and 300 production minutes per M9.
Due to the new design, HTC is also able to introduce new colors and even more important color combinations. Not unexpected are gold and gunmetal gray, since these colors were already introduced with the M8. However, quite unusual is the silver on gold combination which makes the M9 more looking like a jewelry than a mobile phone.
Final Conclusion
During the recent days here in Barcelona, I had the chance to test the One M9 and it leaves me impressed and a little bit perplex. While there is now doubt that the design evolved again, combining the best of the One M7 and One M8, HTC kicked-out some features of the M8 I really loved. But first about the design: It's outstanding, most likely making it one of the best looking devices at this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, if not the whole year. The device isn't as slippery as the M8 used to be, thanks to the razor-sharp edges and different scratch resistant coating. Unfortunately it's (still) not water-resistant, like the M9's Japanese sibling, the Butterfly 2, but that's a problem of the used materials and design. I'm fine with it since the focus was on design. While I see a bright future for the color combinations, neither gold on gold nor silver on gold or pink on gold are my kind of colors. Hopefully HTC will introduce further color combinations in the future, like gunmetal grey on silver, this would be just awesome. But nevertheless, in terms of the design, the used materials and the built-quality HTC gets 12 points from me! More and better is hardly possible.
Now to the downsides, some of the lacking features. This for sure includes everything but HTC Sense 7 which is another major improvement with some cleaver features and functions, which is this time focusing pretty much on customization. But why the heck has HTC given up with UltraPixel and its dual camera as the M8 had? And if not UltraPixel anymore, why not going the Butterfly 2 way which had a 13 megapixel dual camera? Sure, 20 megapixel reads great but this is something every manufacturer can do. Dual camera, with all the special effects, was outstanding and unique. Now the M9 is one of so many. Not a deal-breaker at all but also irritating is the fact that the M9 is also lacking the barometer sensor, which was just introduced with the M8. If the One M9 is about evolution, I have to really wonder why just recently included features are left again in another makeover? It's these small details which frustrates me a little bit. While HTC did a great job in continuing to evolve the design and materials, I don't understand why they switch through features and kick them out as they were just introduced. For me, evolution also means carefully evolving something without replacing one thing with another, just for God's sake.
Anyway, the HTC One M9 is high on my want-list and I can hardly await its commercial release mid of March. But if everything works well, I should receive my review unit anytime before, so stay tuned.
Cheers ~ Arne

DEAR ANNIE: After 20 years of living together, my partner informed me that she was in love with someone else and had been slipping off to his house when she told me she was visiting a girlfriend. "Lois" says there was no sex involved – just hugging and kissing, etc.
I confronted this man, and he denied he had any feelings for Lois except as a friend. He said she asked him for a hug, so he hugged her, but nothing else happened. He denied they kissed. Twice after that, he told Lois to her face that he has no feelings for her.
This guy is a snowbird and is here only during the winter. Lois says she loves me, but is not "in love" with me, and when this guy returns, she is going to be hugging and kissing him whether I like it or not. She believes he loves her, no matter what he says.
Lois is 76, and I am 81. I told her there is no way she can continue to live with me if she's going to remain friendly with this guy, and that I would leave. I love her, but will not share her. I also don't believe this guy cares for her, but he doesn't have the nerve to stop her from coming over. Please don't suggest counseling. Lois has no interest in it.
The guy returns in November. Should I wait or leave? — FLORIDA PROBLEMS
DEAR FLORIDA: Lois wants both of you -- you for the security, and the Other Man for the romance. He makes her feel young, and unless he actually turns her away, she will keep going over there. Can you rev up the romance over the summer so that Lois is less interested in anyone else? Do you think her infatuation will wear thin and fade away? Do you want to have an open relationship in which both of you can see other people?
You cannot change Lois' behavior or that of the Other Man. You can only decide how you are going to handle the situation in whatever way works best for you.
DEAR ANNIE: I have been married to my husband for 20 years, and we have two kids in junior high. My problem is, my husband does not wash his hands after using the bathroom or blowing his nose, which drives me crazy.
I mentioned it early on, and he claimed he was "careful enough" so that nothing ever got on his hands. I know that's not possible. How do I get through to him that he's risking illness for himself and the entire family? — GROSSED OUT IN QUEBEC
DEAR QUEBEC: Not washing one's hands after using the bathroom, coughing or blowing one's nose is a surefire way to transmit germs. It is particularly important to wash one's hands before handling food. You could ask your husband to discuss the health risks with his doctor, or you could try behavior modification -- refusing to kiss or touch him until he washes his hands, for example. But you cannot force him to be more considerate, sorry.
DEAR ANNIE: I read the letter from "M.S. in Montreal, Quebec," who told the amusing story about a doctor and a lawyer who were always asked professional questions by friends. I would like to add a comment.
In my pre-retirement career, I hosted a home improvement call-in radio show. At any social function I attended, I was bombarded by questions about how to fix things. Once, a doctor came up to me and said, "I have a problem with a rain gutter. Can you help me?" I said, "Yes, give it two aspirins, and if it's not better in the morning, call my radio show on Saturday."
He apologized and said he had done the very thing he hated people doing to him. (By the way, he called me on Saturday.) — MCH, KELOWNA, B.C.

Recently, I've been working on a way to serve HTTP with IO::Async. For a while it's been possible to use HTTP as a client with Net::Async::HTTP, so it seemed only natural to provide a server named Net::Async::HTTP::Server.
I've tried to design the interface fairly similar to some of the other server modules, most notably Net::Async::FastCGI. This allows for similar code to be written one way or the other, for responding via HTTP or FastCGI.
use Net::Async::HTTP::Server; use IO::Async::Loop; use HTTP::Response; my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new(); my $httpserver = Net::Async::HTTP::Server->new( on_request => sub { my $self = shift; my ( $req ) = @_; my $response = HTTP::Response->new( 200 ); $response->add_content( "Hello, world!\n" ); $response->content_type( "text/plain" ); $req->respond( $response ); }, ); $loop->add( $httpserver ); $httpserver->listen( addr => { family => "inet6", socktype => "stream", port => 8080 }, on_listen_error => sub { die "Cannot listen - $_[-1]\n" }, ); $loop->run;As with Net::Async::FastCGI the distribution also includes modules to support hosting a PSGI application via Plack. The Plack::Handler module in particular allows the use of Net::Async::HTTP::Server directly from the plackup commandline:
plackup -s Net::Async::HTTP::Server --listen ":8080" application.psgi
It's still in somewhat of an early state - while it supports sending streaming responses (as required by PSGI) it doesn't yet support streaming receiving of requests. That shouldn't be too hard to add, but so far I haven't found a need to add it yet.

Sasha Farber, Sharna Burgess, Daria Chesnokova New Members Of The Dancing With The Stars Troupe?
As some of you have posted in the comments sections and in some twitter chat (including @DWTStroupe), Daria Chesnokova and Sasha Farber might be the replacements for Nicole Volynets and Tristan MacManus in the Dancing With The Stars Dance Troupe. Another dancer that might be dancing in the troupe is Sharna Burgess.
Daria, also known as "Dasha", is Val Chmerkovskiy's former dance partner from from 2008 until this year. She is also from the Ukraine like Val. The two have won numerous World dance titles together and have helped to teach at the Dance With Me Soho Studios in New York.
Sasha was born in Russia, but, moved to Australia when he was 13 at which he started dancing. By the time Sasha was 17, he had won the Australian Youth Latin Championships twice and represented Australia at the World Latin Championships. He was featured in the closing ceremony at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and has danced several times on Dancing with the Stars in the past. He is most known for his role in the highly successful dance theatre production Burn The Floor. He has been described as an "explosively, energetic dancer".
Sharna Burgess, like Sasha, is also from Australia where she studied dance. She has also been a dancer in "Burn The Floor".
If true, I think these dancers would be the perfect replacements even though I don't understand why they dropped Nicole? She was fantastic as well.
The three new dancers will join Teddy Volynets, Kiki Nyemchek, and Oksana Dmytrenko who were are 2nd year members of the Dancing With The Stars Dance Troupe.

A rare candid sighting of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill with their kids in LA shopping yesterday looking at puppies at a pet store.
I don't want to cast aspersions on this particular pet store but pet owners know about pet stores, and it's not recommended usually to get pets at a pet store, especially dogs, because of puppy mills and shady breeding practices. This is a good time I think to talk about my Marcus as I've received many messages recently asking for more photos.
Jacek and I, whenever we're away from each other, have an ongoing email chain called "Your Boy Right Now" dedicated to updates on Marcus's f-ckery.
Marcus went to the beach yesterday and was digging obsessively. I received this photo at 6pm. Miss them.
As for Tim and Faith – this is the best I've seen Tim wear his jeans. Hot, right? He looks very healthy. And serene. Hopefully the things that were making him grumpy – like what happened at the ACMAs – have been eliminated?
Faith's legs look great in those shorts.
But please don't buy a puppy from a pet store.

Skin color is a significant factor in the probability of employment for male immigrants to the United States, according to a new study by two University of Kansas (KU) researchers.
Racial attachments are understood to be socially constructed and endogenous to gender, socioeconomic, and religious identities. Yet we know surprisingly little about the effect of such identities on the particular racial labels that individuals self-select. In this article, I investigate how social identities shape the racial labels chosen by biracial individuals in the United States, a rapidly growing population who have multiple labeling options.
Stereotypes of outgroups help create social identificational boundaries for ingroups. When the ingroup is dominant, members employ individualist sentiments to justify their status. In this study, we build on advances in social psychological research that account for multiple outgroup stereotypes. We argue the Asian American model minority stereotype is analogous to the "cold but competent" position of perceptions toward Asians in Fiske's stereotype content model.
Did rising immigration levels change racial and ethnic exogamy patterns for young adults in the United States? Adding local demographics to Qian and Lichter's national results, the authors examine the relationship between the sizes of the local immigrant populations in urban and rural areas and U.S.-born individuals' exogamy patterns in heterosexual unions, controlling for the areas' racial compositions.
This paper investigates the socioeconomic attainments of Japanese Brazilians and Japanese Americans. The findings indicate that Japanese Brazilians have higher levels of education and wages than white Brazilians, while Japanese Americans have higher levels of education and wages than white Americans. These results are inconsistent with a conventional "white supremacy" model that is popular in contemporary American sociology.

All Good Bakers in Albany on Saturday (3/23) will launch the first non-vegetarian dish on its café menu: bourbon Cajun shrimp, broiled bluepoint oysters, hominy grits, vegetable and honey-mustard aioli ($15; photo courtesy AGB).
Britin Foster, who co-owns the business with her baker-husband, Nick, tells me the couple wanted to expand their repertoire (and audience) beyond the strictly vegetarian and will offer two to four items with fish/meat or that may have fish/meat substituted for vegetarian proteins. They plan to add grassfed beef from Tilldale Farm in Hoosick for burgers and/or hash, perhaps rabbit from R'Eisen Shine Farm in Copake and fish from Fin in Guilderland.
Britin tells me:
We did a some informal polls for about a month before making this difficult decision. While there are a few people who aren't happy with the change, we received overwhelmingly positive responses from most everyone we talked to. Serving sustainably raised, local proteins still fits with our farm to table ethos and our menu will continue feature stellar fresh, local produce. We are happy to add these slow-food producers to our roster of more than 20 others.
Located at 540 Delaware Ave., All Good Bakers is open 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Wednesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends.

I most certainly would make this pie again! It is plenty sweet, so I may experiment on cutting back the sugar a bit in the cherry mixture, but so far I've just stuck with the recipe amount. The only change I did make that I thought others might be interested in know is that I used 3-3/4 to 4 cups fresh tart cherries instead of canned cherries. Turned out magnificent! Definitely my "go-to" cherry pie recipe from now on!
Jun 11, 2011
Excellent recipe....great reviews from my family. I will certainly save this recipe to make when we have company. I spread out the crust and cut a little heart out with a cookie cutter and bake on the top just like Grand Traverse...so cute! I did not make the whipped cream along with it, so I can not rate that.

My boyfriend's mom made this for thanksgiving a few years ago and I could have eaten the whole pie. She accidentally put some almond extract in the topping too, and I keep putting a few drops in when I make it too. I have made this a couple times for holidays and it is my "go to" recipe for cherry pie ( I have never been much of a double crust person). The crust is so easy and good I may try it for other recipes as well. Thanks for the great recipe!
Apr 26, 2008
What a wonderful pie! The filling was just a tad too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll use less sugar. I also used 1/2 c. sliced almonds for the topping--marvelous! This is my new "standard" cherry pie recipe.

Gabriel García Márquez Short Fiction Analysis
(Literary Essentials: Short Fiction Masterpieces)
Gabriel García Márquez's fiction is characterized by a thread of common themes, events, and characters that seem to link his work together into one multifaceted portrayal of the experiences of Latin American life. From the influences of his early childhood, when he learned from his grandmother how to tell the most fantastic stories in a matter-of-fact tone, to his later observations of the oppression and cruelties of politics, García Márquez captures the everyday life of the amazing people of coastal Colombia, with its Caribbean flavor, as well as the occasional resident of the highlands of Bogotá. He has an eye for the details of daily life mixed with humor and an attitude of acceptance and wonder. His characters experience the magic and joy of life and face the suffering of solitude and isolation but always with an innate dignity. García Márquez's vision touches real life with its local attitudes and values, and in the process it also reveals a criticism of politics, the church, and U.S. imperialism, as they contribute to the Latin American experience.
García Márquez's body of work portrays a complete reality breaking out of conventional bounds. Characters from one story regularly show up or are mentioned in another, while his complex mix of fantasy and reality reveals a consummate storyteller capable of bringing to his work the magic of his non-European world. His impact as a writer lies in the fact that although his work describes the Latin American experience of life, it also goes beyond to reveal a universal human experience.
Ojos de perro azul
García Márquez's earliest stories have a bizarre, almost surreal, tone, reminiscent of Franz Kafka. Collected in Ojos de perro azul, these stories represent an experimental phase of García Márquez's development as a writer. They exemplify his new, or strange, realism, extending the reality of life into and beyond the experience of death. "La tercera resignación" ("The Third Resignation"), for example, deals with the thoughts and fears of a young man in his coffin. "Nabo, el negro que hizo esperar a los ángeles" ("Nabo, the Black Man Who Made the Angels Wait") tells of a man who is locked in a stable because he goes insane after being kicked in the head by a horse.
In "Isabel viendo llover en Macondo" ("Monologue of Isabel Watching It Rain in Macondo"), published the same year as his first novella, Leaf Storm, García Márquez captures the atmosphere of a tropical storm through the eyes of his protagonist. Here, the world of Macondo, used in Leaf Storm as well and made world-famous in One Hundred Years of Solitude, is presented amid the suffocating oppressiveness of tropical weather. Here as later, nature itself is often a palpable force in the fiction of García Márquez—often exaggerated and overwhelming in order to reflect the reality of Latin American geography and the natural forces within it. The repetition underscores the monotony of the continuing deluge, and the theme of solitude is reflected in the imagery as well as in the personal relationship of Isabel and Martin: "The sky was a gray, jellyish substance that flapped its wings a hand away from our heads."
After demonstrating his ability to capture the tropical atmosphere, García Márquez shows himself capable of capturing a portrait in words with his well-structured novella No One Writes to the Colonel . The central character is a dignified man with a deep sense of honor who has been promised a military pension. Every Friday, he goes to the post office to wait for mail that never comes, and then he claims that he really was not expecting anything anyway. He is a patient man, resigned to eternal waiting and hope when there is no reason to expect that hope to be fulfilled. "For nearly sixty years—since the end of the last civil war—the colonel had done nothing else but wait. October was one of the few things which arrived." His other hope is his...

or: The Thing Inside
Caution: may meander into the squeamish zone in both words and pictures… be warned.
I don't exactly know why I am fascinated by cojoined twins. Sometimes I guiltily cruise YouTube, watching videos about successful and unsuccessful separations. Very often the way the twins are joined is terribly difficult: at the top of the head, sharing organs, or with one twin unable to function because of their relationship to the other child. One of the most famous examples of a successful pair is Abigail and Brittany Hensel, a pair of "highly symmetric dicephalic parapagus" (ie, joined at the bottom, with two heads). It is difficult to tell but it looks as though they only have two arms, as well. They are both conscious, functioning girls with very separate personalities and interests, and are growing up apparently without problems, a very unusual case.
In fact, when you look at how their body is arranged, it's nearly miraculous: they have two heads and two stomachs but their small intesting has a "Y" intersection which, with a few minor problems, works fairly well. They have separate spines but one ribcage, two hearts and four lungs, but a shared diaphram. They can only feel their own half of the body, but they can do things such as type, ride a bike, and drive a car without mishap or misunderstanding. It's rather amazing.
More often, cojoined twins do not do well. Their mortality rate is about 75%. There are just too many complications, and all the things which seem to have gone right for the Hensel girls could just as easily fail through lack of alignment or poor formation of organs, which leads to their failure. Twins that are cojoined at the head often cannot function together, but separation can lead to the death of one or both of them, as the brains are involved.
What causes twins to be cojoined? There seem to be two separate theories on that. The older theory, the one I'm more familiar with and which leads to cases like the Hensel girls, is that during development the fetus separates as it does in the case of identical twins, who are two children made by one fertilized egg splitting completely in half. Except that in the case of cojoined twins, the split is incomplete. So you get children who share pelvises, skulls, etc.
Another theory is that in some cases, "a fertilized egg completely separates, but stem cells (which search for similar cells) find like-stem cells on the other twin and fuse the twins together." [wiki] Which implies that in the kinds of cases for whom this theory would apply, the joint is less extreme: some fleshy part of the (mostly separate) twins is joined. In the case of Chang and Eng Bunker, a pair of Thai cojoined twins who traveled with P.T. Barnum's circus for many years and from whom the term "siamese twins" comes, they were joined by "a band of flesh, cartilage, and their fused livers at the torso." This type of cojoining is very easy nowadays to separate.
Then there is the scenario where one twin is described as "parasitic," because it does not have a heart and/or a head of its own, and therefore lives off the circulatory system and resources of its twin. Parasitic twins can be attached in many different places, and are often much smaller than their fully-formed twin. A well-known example of this was the recent case of Lakshmi Tatma, found in a remote area of India at age two, who was joined to her twin pelvis-to-pelvis (with the twin between her legs). Thirty-six doctors took turns separating her spine and moving her bladder, then moving her pelvis together so her legs could point downward instead of off to the side. She had one non-functioning kidney, so the doctors replaced it with one of her twin's; she was then put in a cast designed to keep her legs together. A year later, it seems she was doing fine, beginning to learn to walk, and so on.
Parasitic twins generally do not improve the life of the main twin, not just because it is uncomfortable or embarrassing, but because it is a drain on their health and resources. One form of parasitic twin, called fetus in fetu is another, more rare and often devastating case of poor twinning, where the fetus of one twin, it seems, actually forms around the other, in effect born with another body inside it. One man, in India, lived for thirty-six years with his twin inside him, growing as he grew. I can only imagine how much weight it was to carry around, and how much he must have eaten to keep them both healthy.
Another boy in India went to the doctor because of his abdominal swelling, which was seen to move. A nearly-fully-formed twin was found inside him, with hair, toes, arms, legs, and even a vague face. This kind of completeness is rare in parasitic twins, especially among fetus in fetu, which tend not to be "alive" in the sense we think of, but rather a sort of growth in human form.
There seems to be a grey area between a fetus in fetu and what is called a teratoma: a kind of encapsulated tumor which contains "tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives of all three germ layers. There are rare occasions when not all three germ layers are identifiable. The tissues of a teratoma, although normal in themselves, may be quite different from surrounding tissues, and may be highly disparate; teratomas have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and very rarely more complex organs such as(…) hands, feet, or other limbs." [wiki] …or tissues from various organs. Teratomas are more common, and more benign, in women and girls, because they often form on the ovaries, where undifferentiated cells can be found; in men, they are more often malignant, for no reason that I've been able to find. Teratomas are considered to be congenital, in other words, they are present at birth, but not found until later on.
You can get teratomas in your brain or other organs, on the outside of your body (such as on the skull sutures or on the back of the pelvis), around your tongue and in your throat. I find them incredibly creepy, because they can contain pieces and parts of a person, encapsulated in a little pod in the body, as if someone had been trying to form, and failed miserably.
Curiously, I don't always find the parasitic twin phenomenon creepy; as the wonderful Human Marvels website describes, in the case of Ernie Defort, who was born with his "brother" Lem attached to his sternum, some people, if left to themselves, will become quite emotionally attached (hur, hur) to their extra parts.
It strikes me that this is not so different from the imperfections we all experience: if left to ourselves, we can become used to them and even like them, as being an integral part of ourselves. It is only when we listen to the media, or other external voices, that we begin to doubt who we should be.
Some interesting books on freaks/human marvels (which is what many cojoined twins and people with parasitic twins did to make a living in the old days):
Monsters: Human Freaks in America's Gilded Age: The Photographs of Chas Eisenmann, a book of really quite wonderful photos taken in the late 1800s by Mr. Eisenmann in his studio in New York.
American Sideshow, a lovingly-detailed and warmly described history of sideshow performers in America from the 1830s to the present. With recommendations on Amazon by some of the participants.

Dear gossips, It is good to be home. And it is good to be on CTV National News! In case you missed my barrage of emails earlier today (SO SORRY!), I was on Canada's most watched newscast tonight at 11pm – for the first time, like, ever – dishing on Clooney and Gawker and why Hollywood publicists are getting so upset with us peering obsessively into the lives of their clients. Smut is NEWS, y'all! Even if I was only on for 5 seconds! Thank you so much for all your emails and wellwishes. And at the risk of sounding gushy, I'm well aware I would have never been asked to do things like this without your support of my column and of this site. Please know how much I appreciate the fact that you visit often and that you visit strong. OK. Enough blubber. You came for the bitch. And the bitch you will have. In today's issue: an exclusive eyewitness account of the Pitts in Paris, defending Posh, protecting Jen, trashing Eva, smug about Chad Michael Murray, and the GMD's daddy complex.

In the 2007 MLS Cup final, a switch to the 3-5-2 formation helped net the Houston Dynamo a second consecutive title win over the New England Revolution. Six years later, there was no silverware on the line, but a similar change helped the Dynamo claim a crucial point against the same Revs with a 1-1 draw.
Down a goal in the final 20 minutes, head coach Dominic Kinnear took a chance and shuffled his lineup. The move he made pushed players up the field in order to create more chances, and, just like it did six years ago, the move paid off.
"We had to go a little bit in search of [the game-tying goal], because if you want to get something you have to go look for it," said head coach Dominic Kinnear. "At times during the game we were outnumbered and you're just taking a chance putting another guy in a goal-scoring position. It's a risk-reward move and luckily this time it rewarded us."
The move came at just the right time for Houston. After battling New England to an hour-long stalemate, the Revs caught a second wind when talented young striker Juan Agudelo entered in the 62nd minute. Two minutes later, Houston was pulled apart for the first time and Saer Sene capitalized with a well-taken shot after catching the Dynamo's left side out of sorts.
That goal prompted Kinnear's move. He subbed off Warren Creavalle for Cam Weaver and moved Giles Barnes and Corey Ashe from their respective positions and into midfield. The move prodded Houston forward and clogged the midfield, making it tough for the Revs to create while adding pressure from the Dynamo.
"I thought when Cam came in he brought a spark and was able to challenge balls in the air and make it tough for the center back and create some room in the middle," Will Bruin told MLSsoccer.com after the game. "The versatility we have on the fly is huge. It certainly helps us late in games."
- Get more Houston Dynamo news at HoustonDynamo.com
The move paid off. In the 76th minute, three minutes after the change, Boniek García set up Bruin. The forward then delivered from inside the box to pull Houston level and claim a share of the spoils.
After Bruin's second goal in as many games, Kinnear had his men switch back to the 4-4-2 to see the match out. However, the brief change was an effective response for a team looking to push up the standings.
"It was a good tactical change by Dom and I think it helped us push forward and get that goal," Bruin said. "I think it shows a lot about the team with us being able to respond after giving up a goal on the road."

I was reminiscing in my head: 18 years ago in January 1997, I finally got my hands on the Jamiroquai "Travelling without Moving" cd once it released here in the U.S.
I played it all the way through and it looped around and began again on whatever track it was left on when I got back in the car. I drove a lot and it was the perfect car tunes.
I knew nothing about the band but couldn't believe how cool the music was! Finally some funky music replacing the grunge rock era. And this cd outplaced my beloved Trainspotting cd which I'd played over and over since July of 1996.
Rediscovering Jamiroquai in 2010, I was shocked to find out how complex, & how diverse Jamiroquai are. Where they've been, and who they are. So many styles and themes of music over so many years. I understand the shifts and turns of their music, and easily relate to times in my life.
This is what music is about.
no I'm not drunk yet, just tired.

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- ABC is giving its short-lived comedy "In the Motherhood" an equally brief send-off on Friday nights beginning next month.
Networks sources have confirmed the remaining installments of the series will begin airing on Friday nights at 9:30/8:30c starting June 5. Repeats of "Samantha Who?" will lead into the series at 9:00/8:00c.
"Motherhood" lasted just four weeks on Thursday nights earlier this year, leaving three episodes still yet to air.
The news marks the latest summer burn off by the Alphabet. "Pushing Daisies" (May 30-June 13), "Eli Stone" (June 20-July 11) and "Dirty Sexy Money" (July 18-August 8) are also getting a similar swan song while "According to Jim" (May 26-June 2), "Surviving Suburbia" (May 27-July 1) and "The Unusuals" (May 27-June 17) will wrap their runs outside the traditional season.

People often ask me what my favorite dish is. I think it would be wiser and more efficient to name the few things I care nothing about, like shrimp and other crustacean. It's not to say I won't ever like those, but I am yet to have the shell fish served in a way that will blow my mind. Otherwise, please don't even waste my time.
The things I can eat into infinity, on the other hand, are EGGS. Be those Sunny-side-ups with runny yolk oozing over my lunch toast or fingerling potatoes in my Salad Nicoise. Be those Poached Eggs served over Mashed Rutabaga & Celeriac. Simply hard-boiled eggs chopped and mixed with tuna and pickles that make perfectly creamy and scrumptious filling for sandwiches. An old fashioned Scramble with the volume turned up never gets old. I'll take my eggs any time of the day, any day of the week. Alas, a lazy Sunday morning and an eggstra decadent meal are a match made in heaven.
This past weekend, I served FRITTATA with Baby Spinach, Green Apples, Goat Cheese and Pancetta. To call it a decadent meal would be offensive. It was magical…
With the first taste that reached my mouth the seat underneath my firm ass-cheeks mysteriously turned into a plush throne covered with red velvet. My hand dropped onto the massive oak table under the weight of a silver fork I never saw before in my life. Little bells rang above my head, stars dust sparkled in the air, and suddenly my left hand was lifting a heavy, silver chalice embellished with precious stones and golden rims. Then I looked down…
Here's the thing. The last time I saw myself in the mirror before heading to the kitchen to make breakfast I was wearing a see-through tank top and skimpy boy shorts that I like to parade in on Sunday mornings. Now my negligee was replaced with a tight bustier and delicate chiffon gown with mother-of-pearl buttons running up from the waist up to my throat glands. I was astonished. It was the state of the art tailoring bearing trade marks of a royal craftsman. My jaw elegantly fainted and dropped like an autumn leaf to the plate.
The plate! The plate with my SPINACH-APPLE FRITTATA which in fact was the source of all the wicked abracadabra playing out in front of our eyes!
It would be rude and selfish of me not to share this dish with you for the experience is out of this world, I tell ya. The perks, beyond the above described ones, are:
1. It's easy to make.
2. One batch can last for a few meals that can be stored in a refrigerator for 2 days, or even frozen to be enjoyed later.
3. It's as versatile as scrambled eggs–you can put in it whatever your soul desires and make it anew every time.
4. You can serve it fresh and hot at home for Sunday breakfast, or pack it for lunch to go on Monday.
5. It's made of EGGS!
6. It has magical powers…
There are several "proven" methods of making a frittata, and I've tried them all. You'll need a cast-iron skillet (or any other oven proof one) and a 500° hot oven.
Depending on the size of your skillet, you'll need 6, 10 or even 12 eggs. For my 12″ pan I usually go with 10 organic and free range eggs. Also, peel an apple of your choice (I like the tart ones), quarter, core it and thinly slice. Beat all of the eggs in a bowl, add 2-3 tbsp of heavy cream, and season with salt and pepper. If you like, add chopped chives, or a pinch of chili pepper, or a teaspoon of dry oregano. It's your dish.
Heat the skillet on the stove top, add a touch of olive oil and butter together, and add diced pancetta. When some of the fat has rendered, tip the apples in and toss them about. Sprinkle a touch of sea salt all over to help the apples sweat and thus get softer. Next, pour the egg mixture in and reduce the heat to medium low. Crumble cold goat cheese all over your dish, add a big handful of fresh spinach, and help it incorporate evenly across the dish.
Using a soft spatula lift the edges of the frittata along the sides of the skillet allowing the still loose eggs from the top to drip underneath the set layer. Make sure nothing sticks. Grate a handful of Fontina cheese all over the surface, drizzle with olive oil and turn off the heat. Place your skillet inside the hot oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and eggs set.
Remove the pan from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, cut in wedges and serve with a side of green salad and toasted baguette. Watch the frock on your bod turn into a royal gown, and a pumpkin coach park outside your window 😉
Bon Appetite!

If you can watch this video without looking away, flinching, or gasping you're made of tougher stuff than us here at Noisey. London-based production duo We Are Shining first came to our attention thanks to last year's "Hey You" 12" released via XL Recordings' offshoot Young Turks (The xx, SBTRKT, FKA Twigs).
Their MO is groove rooted electronica—a blend of tribal beats, slapped palms and a heavy dose of soul. The pair's latest track, "Killing," is lifted from their forthcoming mixtape and features British singer Eliza Doolittle (last heard on Disclosure's smash "You & Me").
And the video? It's simple in concept, insane in practice and stars knife thrower John Taylor and blade dodging dancer Shannelle 'Tali' Fergus, who is basically the bravest girl around.

1. Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton spent all of the preseason looking over his shoulder at 2010 1st round pick Tim Tebow and the evidence is beginning to mount that a change may be in order in Denver. With one win and a pair of losses to open the season, Orton's record over his last 25 games now stands at an unimpressive 6-19. While that may be an indictment of the Broncos as much as Orton, he has committed turnovers at key moments in each of the team's losses and that hasn't endured him to a fan base already clamoring to see Tebow in the starting line up.
2. Staying with the Broncos, there has been much speculation that former Raven Willis McGahee may take over as the team's starting running back ahead of 2009 1st round pick Knowshon Moreno. Which begs the question – how does that make any sense? While Moreno has not lived up to his draft billing, the aging McGahee needed only two games of heavy use to prove that he is no longer a capable starter, gaining just 153 yards on 50 carries. He padded his fantasy stats with a pair of touchdowns (one on the ground and one receiving) making him an obvious sell-high candidate. While Moreno may prove that he isn't the solution to solving the Broncos inconsistent rushing attack, there can be little doubt that McGahhe certainly isn't the answer. Look for Denver to wisely spend the balance of the season figuring out just what they have in Moreno with McGahee relegated to a backup role.
3. Sticking with running back controversies, we move to Cleveland where 2nd year player Montario Hardesty subbed in for Peyton Hillis against Miami and had a solid game with 67 yards on 14 carries and three receptions for 19 yards. That prompted head coach Pat Shurmur to suggest that Hardesty was worthy of an increased role. However, that should come as no surprise since Hardesty was barely used during the first two games of the season, with only eight touches, this after the Browns spend the offseason saying they wanted to reduce Hillis' workload due to his struggles down the stretch last season (272 rushing yards and no touchdowns over Cleveland's final five games). This isn't a case of Hardesty being a legitimate challenger to Hillis' spot in the starting line up. It's the Browns getting around to doing what they said they were going to do all along.
4. Next up we move to New England where rookie 3rd round pick Stevan Ridley is getting a lot of hype for out producing BenJarvis Green-Ellis this week. Ridley subbed in for Green-Ellis and looked impressive in gaining 42 yards on six carries and catching one pass for eight yards. Meanwhile, Green-Ellis struggled to his worst rushing day since Week 9 of last season with just 18 yards on 10 carries. Just don't look for Ridley in the starting line up any time soon. The rookie missed time in training camp and the Patriots are not going to jeopardize the health of quarterback Tom Brady to get Ridley touches until he's gotten all of the team's blitz protections down pat. Not to mention that Green-Ellis was the Patriots most successful rusher since Corey Dillon last season, gaining 1,008 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.
5. The Falcons have struggled to a 1-2 record to open the season and head coach Mike Smith has squarely put the blame on the team's offensive line. This week, Smith told his offensive lineman that he was opening up all of the team's starting positions to competition due to the poor play in both pass blocking and run blocking. Quarterback Matt Ryan has been sacked 13 times in three games and while running back Michael Turner is averaging 5.6 yards per carry, that statistic is misleading. The Falcons trailed early against the Bears and were more focused on stopping big plays, allowing Turner to run 10 times for 100 yards, and the Falcons Week 2 opponent, the Eagles, have perhaps the worst run defense in the league. While general manager Thomas Dimitroff has done a superb job of talent evaluation on the pro and college levels, the decision not to re-sign starting left guard Harvey Dahl is proving to be ill founded since he brought a mean streak to the unit that appears to be lacking. Unfortunately for Smith, there are no solid veterans or promising prospects behind his starters. Backups Joe Hawley, Will Svitek, Mike Johnson and Brett Romberg have a combined 24 career starts with 18 of those belonging to Romberg, the least likely backup to work his way into the starting line up. That likely ensures the current starting five will retain their jobs, with Dahl's replacement Garrett Reynolds the only starter in jeopardy of being benched, so improvement will need to come from within and that may not bode well for the fantasy prospects of Ryan and Turner.
6. There are a number of head coaches on the hot seat due to the play of their teams over the first three weeks of the season but the Jaguars Jack Del Rio has managed to escaped much of the criticism that has been leveled at the Chiefs Todd Haley, Andy Reid of the Eagles and the Dolphins Tony Sparano amongst others. Jacksonville sits at 1-2 having eked out an opening week win over Tennessee followed by a crushing defeat to the Jets and a six point loss to Carolina. However, Del Rio's decision to jettison quarterback David Garrard in favor of Luke McCown is looking worse each week as the AFC South is there for the taking. Perennial division winner Indianapolis has struggled mightily without Peyton Manning, current division leader Houston has a history of underperforming in big games and Tennessee sits at 2-1 but appears to be more pretender than contender. Meanwhile, Del Rio was forced to quickly abandon the McCown decision in favor of rookie 1st round pick Blaine Gabbert who looked serviceable running the team's dink and dunk offense in his first start. Del Rio's miscalculation will almost certainly earn the wrath of owner Wayne Weaver given that a run at the AFC South title seems improbable but was a definite possibility with Garrard. Such a scenario would have reenergized the team' fan base which is a big concern for Weaver.
7. If you subscribe to the theory that starting running backs in the NFL need to be able to successfully run the ball to maintain their jobs, then it might be time to sell high on the Lions Jahvid Best. Best has put up 44.5 fantasy points over the Lions first three games, rushing for 149 yards and a touchdown and gaining 183 yards through the air to go along with another touchdown. However, he is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry after averaging 3.2 in 2010 for which most of us gave him a free pass due to the numerous injuries that marred his rookie season. Considering the Lions have featured one of the most dynamic passing offenses in the league over the first three weeks of the season, there's no free pass in 2011. What Best amounts to is a running back that relies on touchdowns and passing yards for points and that is a recipe for inconsistent production, not to mention a spot on the bench when a team is trying to eat up the clock.

Robert Langell, a Georgetown fifth grader, suffers from the rare genetic Fragile X syndrome. Learn more about him, the disease and the Robert Langell Golf Tournament to benefit Fragile X research, which will be held Tuesday, Sept. 30 at Turner Hill Golf Club in Ipswich.
Robert Langell loves the beach. It is one of his favorite places to hang out. The Georgetown fifth-grader, who has the rare genetic Fragile X syndrome, is most comfortable in a setting with no surprises, no changes, and no loud noises, says his mom Didi Langell. Fragile X children develop autism and developmental disabilities.
"You have to plan, plan, plan," says Didi. "Everything is very scheduled. It makes it hard on our other two kids, but that's what we have to deal with. We have great friends helping us out in town."
Didi's other two kids are Nicole, 14 and a freshman at Georgetown Middle/High School, and Richard, a seventh-grader at the same school.
Robert is attending fifth grade at Penn Brook School with a great deal of help from his special education teacher Katie Lescarbeau, who describes him as a joy to work with.
"Robert does very well with routines and knowing what's going to happen at school," says Lescarbeau. "He has quite a sense of humor, and he can always make people around him laugh. He is very friendly, and he really loves being around his friends at school. He also loves the ducks in the courtyard. Spring is a very exciting time here.
"It can be difficult for people who do not know him to understand what he's saying, but he has a lot to say on many different subjects. Sometimes he uses a little computer to make it easier to understand him. He truly is a joy to work with. He's taught me a lot as a teacher."
Didi and her family remain hopeful for her son's future, because research is making inroads on the condition."The more they research, the more they find," says Didi.
Drug companies in the United States tend not to fund research for rare diseases like Fragile X, because not enough people have these diseases to make a profit for them. Research depends on private fundraising efforts, and a big one is under way for Tuesday, Sept. 30. Robert's uncle Barry Davidson has organized the Robert Langell Golf Tournament and dinner at the Turner Hill Golf Course in Ipswich.
Starting at noon on Tuesday, the event will feature golf, followed by a buffet dinner at the club and a silent auction with some really big auction items. There are tickets to the 2009 U.S. Open, Red Sox tickets, Patriots tickets, and a week at a condo in Florida among other tempting items.
Tickets for the big outing are $40 a person, with $20 paying for dinner and $20 going to support FRAXA, a Newburyport organization that is searching for a cure. The entire proceeds from the auction will benefit FRAXA.
Item donations for the silent auction are being sought, and can be dropped off at the Langell's home by calling Didi at 978-352-8496, e-mailing her at email@example.com, or mailing to 34 Baldpate Road, Georgetown, MA 01833. You can also send donations directly to FRAXA by mailing a check to FRAXA, 45 Pleasant St., Newburyport, MA 01950.
Thanks to fundraisers like the Robert Langell Golf Tournament, research is underway on Fragile X, with promising preliminary results on the drugs minocycline, novartis and fenobam, according to the Fragile X Research Foundation Web site, www.fraxa.org. Information on research studies on Fragile X and the FRAXA organization is also available on the FRAXA Web site.

|Grace Ellen Poulsen & Calvin Buck Smedley
She even made sure that all three of us kids had a Book of Remembrance and it was full of Smedley and Poulsen related pedigree sheets and family histories.
This photo was taken at their 50th wedding anniversary in 1970. I will let you guess which one is me.
Friday is 91st anniversary of their wedding.
This newspaper article about their 60th wedding anniversary has been sitting in my Book of Remembrance for years. Unfortunately I don't remember how I came to have it. Did I cut it out? Did grandma send it to me, or did mom cut it out? Did it come from the Idaho State Journal? Or maybe the Paris Post?
If I have learned nothing else since my beginning years of genealogy and family history research, I have learned to NOTE WHERE THE THING CAME FROM!
Below is the napkin that I brought home from the 60th anniversary party.
Forty-five years to go for me and hubby!

Roebling, John Augustus
Roebling, John Augustus(rō`blĭng), 1806–69, German-American engineer, b. Mulhouse. He studied engineering in Berlin and in 1831 came to the United States. He demonstrated the practicability of steel cable and established a plant for manufacturing it at Trenton, N.J. A pioneer in the building of suspension bridges, he built the Allegheny Suspension Bridge (completed 1845) at Pittsburgh, the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge (completed 1855), and the Cincinnati and Covington Bridge over the Ohio (completed 1867). His most ambitious project was the Brooklyn Bridge. It was scarcely begun when Roebling, directing operations, was injured in an accident and died a few days later.
His son Washington Augustus Roebling, 1837–1926, b. Saxonburg, Pa., grad. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 1857, had aided his father in building the Allegheny Suspension Bridge. During the Civil War he joined the Union army as a private, was transferred to Irvin McDowell's engineering staff, and rose to the rank of colonel. He went to Europe to study engineering and especially pneumatic caissons. After his father's death he directed the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Because of continuous underground work he was stricken (1872) with decompression sickness (caisson disease), but despite his invalidism he directed the project until the bridge was opened to traffic (1883). In 1888 he took over the management of the Roebling plant in Trenton.

Rex Energy's natural gas and oil production increased during the fourth quarter of 2013.
Rex Energy's natural gas and oil production increased during the fourth quarter of 2013, and the company said it expects the trend to continue this year.
The State College, Pa.-based driller's production met expectations, according to an update it released Wednesday ahead of next month's earnings report and conference call.
Fourth quarter production was the equivalent of 110.4 million cubic feet per day, with 31 percent of net production from natural gas liquids and oil.
The results were an increase of 12 percent over the third quarter, and put 2013 daily production volume 38 percent ahead of 2012.
Rex is predicting production to grow another 57 percent in 2014 — with a 16 percent increase in liquids — as it drills in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale, Ohio's Utica Shale and the Illinois Basin.
Full-year daily production is expected to be the equivalent of 143 - 149 million cubic feet.
In Carroll County, Rex is drilling the fourth of five wells on the Grunder pad. So far, the wells have an average total measured depth of 12,905 feet, inlcuding laterals averaging 4,837 feet.
The company expects to begin hydraulic fracturing the wells during the first quarter of 2014 and to place them in production during the second quarter, according to the release.
Rex also recently began fracking the three-well Ocel pad in Carroll. Those wells, with an average total measured depth of 12,700 feet and 4,380-foot laterals, should be in produciton by the second quarter.
To the south in Guernsey County, the J. Anderson five-well pad produced an average last five-day sales rate of 1,852 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The company reported that it reduced well costs 10 percent during 2013 and continues to look for savings.
In 2014, the company expects to have one rig in the Utica and to spend $115 million to:
Drill 11 wellsFracture and complete 17 wellsPlace 11 wells into service.By comparison, Rex expects to drill 40 to 45 Marcellus wells next year.

This entry was cross-posted from Meanders: The Dow Brook Blog.
Yammer announced on Wednesday that it has acquired oneDrum, a UK-based provider of file sharing and collaborative editing tools for Microsoft Office users. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed. oneDrum's technology and people will be integrated into Yammer.
In a briefing on the acquisition, Yammer CTO and Co-Founder, Adam Pisoni, stated that the deal was done to quickly accelerate movement toward Yammer's primary strategic objective – to be the social layer, spanning key enterprise applications, in which its customers (and their extended business networks) get work done.
Yammer's action is consistent with its strategy to release usable, but not ideal, functionality and then improve upon it as quickly as possible. Yammer introduced the homegrown Files component into its suite late last year. With oneDrum's technology, Yammer will be able to improve its Files component by enabling syncing of files to desktop folders and mobile devices, as well as automatic sharing of new and updated files with other members of Yammer groups. As usual, Yammer seeks to occupy the middle ground, offering file sharing functionality that has some of the necessary enterprise-grade security and manageability that consumer Web services lack, while retaining as much ease-of-use as possible. Yammer's ability to balance complexity and usability is what differentiates it from the majority of the other enterprise social software offerings in the market.
The current file creation and editing capabilities available in the Pages component of Yammer will be nicely complemented by the introduction of oneDrum's ability to co-create and co-edit Office files (Excel and PowerPoint now, Word in development) with others. Many may interpret the addition of this capability, together with the added file sync and sharing functionality, as an indirect attack on Microsoft SharePoint by Yammer. Pisoni clearly stated that Yammer will continue to offer customers integrations with SharePoint, as well as with Box, Dropbox and other content repositories. He did, however, acknowledge that while Yammer is not intentionally targeting SharePoint, many of its customers see their Yammer networks negating existing SharePoint use cases.
Yammer's real target appears to be email, which offers a single place where people may communicate, share content and get work done. Pisoni spoke about the symbiotic relationship between content and conversation in social networks, as well as the blurring line between content and communication. The former is clearly demonstrated by the frequency in which enterprise (and consumer) social interactions are anchored around a specific piece of content, whether that be a traditional document, blog post, wiki entry, status update, audio snippet, photo or video. The latter is evidenced by the growing enterprise use of blog posts, wiki entries and, especially, status updates to share content (and explicit knowledge) in small chunks, rather than waiting to gather it in a document that is distributed by email.
Pisoni's assertion that the distinction between content and communication is blurring is interesting, but less persuasive. Much of the asynchronous communication within organizations is still only secondary to the content that is contained in attached (or linked) files. Corporate email use as a transmission mechanism for documents is a clear, common example. Yammer's vision for decreasing email volume appears to involve using oneDrum's support for real-time chat between individuals working together in an Office document (Excel and PowerPoint only at present) as a means to blend content and communication to help people get work done faster. It will be interesting to see if Yammer network members adopt this envisioned way of working as an alternative to entrenched communication and content sharing norms.
oneDrum was not well known in the U.S., as it was a very small vendor with a beta status offering. However, it appears that Yammer has made a good acquisition that will help the company, and its customers, address the changing nature of business organizations and work. The devil, of course, is in the details, so we will have to watch and see how well Yammer assimilates its first acquired company.

The 'naked salute' faceboook page created for squaddies to show their support for Prince Harry by posing naked has become an internet sensation, but not everyone is amused.
The soldiers and their wives who are stripping off and saluting to show support for Prince Harry, and posting the pictures on Facebook, may be reprimanded themselves.
A source told the Daily Mail: "Everyone sees the funny side but there are people at senior levels in the Army who do not consider this to be appropriate. They will be thinking 'Does this really shows us in the professional light we want to be seen in?'."
