I love knowing where writers get their inspiration for their books. Here’s a little peek at what inspired me.

I am two things. (Ok, so obviously I am more than two things, but for purposes of this post, let’s pretend I am only two things). I am an Anglophile, and I am a history buff. Put these together, and it should come as no surprise that I love castles. I have books upon books about castles. You write a novel based in a castle, and I will read it. And then pretend I live there. If you and I were to take a trip to Europe together, you’d better believe there will be a castle-a-day itinerary. But don’t get bored — we could go drink beer afterward (and talk about castles).

Naturally, my current project is set in a castle. My castle is fictional but is based loosely on this real one.

Gorgeous, no? That’s Orford Castle, in Surrey. It was built by Henry II and dates from the 12th Century, which just blows my mind. I grew up in a town that was founded all the way in 1971 and often wondered what it must be like to live in a place where you are surrounded by history. Growing up, the only historical questions I could ask myself were “Remember when that was just an empty tract of land? Now there’s a Barnes & Noble there. Crazy!” I decided to find out what it was like to live in history in the fall of 2000 and moved to Boston. I got my answer in a few short months: cold. I hightailed it back to Florida.

Anyhow, let’s look at Orford a little more, shall we? Can you imagine having to navigate these dim stairs while wearing a long dress? This is way before safety councils mandated handrails, of course.

Or what it must have been like to see this for the first time?

Flickr credit

Isn’t this guy creepy? Don’t you just love it?

Any other castlephiles out there? And in case you’re wondering, yes, I Googled “person who loves castles” to see if there is a more technical name than “castlephile.” I came up empty.

    I LOVE CASTLES!! The thing that weirded me out/excited me most about visiting England was how they're all over the place. My fiance and I were on a drive through the countryside, in the middle of nowhere, and he's like "oh, and through the trees there is such-and-such castle."
    Me: … Why aren't there any signs??
    Him: Oh, it's just a tiny one. Here wait, we'll stop at the next big one. It's just the next town over
    Me: !!!

  2. Meredith says:

    Have you ever watched Eddie Izzard's Dress to Kill? He has a whole bit on that. Hi-larious.

  3. Ellen says:

    YES! I love that bit.
    Also, I hear rumors that there are EVEN MORE castles along the Rhine River in Germany. My new life goal (after I am rich and famous, naturally) is to buy and renovate one of these. Totally practical. Just like being a writer! >.>

  4. A* says:

    OK I have known you for quite a long time and did not know this. How did I not know this? Please note that I have not actually said HOW long I have known you. 🙂

    Oh yeah. Castles are cool. The stairs freak me out since they are so steep and incredibly teeny. Plus haunted. And drafty. But yeah…cool.

Short-Term Questions, Long-Term Optimism
By Dan Markham, Senior Editor
Growing use of aluminum by automakers and other industries points to a positive future for the lightweight material, despite the current economic uncertainty.

Sidebar: Aluminum Association Puts Data Behind Sustainability Story

Near-term prospects for the aluminum industry are not as rosy as they were at the outset of 2011, say the experts, but they are nowhere near as dismal as the economy’s doomsayers believe.

“Growth is going to be approximately flat-lined unless you’re in a few specific markets,” said aluminum analyst Lloyd O’Carroll at last month’s Aluminum Association/Aluminum Extruders Council joint meeting in Chicago. “We should be less optimistic than we were six months ago.”

But O’Carroll joins other economists and industry watchers in his belief that the nation, and industries such as aluminum, are not headed into another downturn.

“I think a new recession is relatively unlikely. Classic recessions are always caused by tight money or imbalances (too much inventory, too much housing, too much optimism). None of those conditions exist today. We think a new recession is not likely in the near term, but subpar growth will remain,” said O’Carroll of Davenport & Co., Richmond, Va., and author of the O’Carroll Aluminum Bulletin.

O’Carroll’s view represents the consensus among members of the supply chain, who are frustrated by the country’s slow rebound from recession, but still see the direction as positive.

“Business is pretty much OK,” says Bill Sales, senior vice president of nonferrous operations for Reliance Steel & Aluminum, Los Angeles. “What we’ve seen of late is that the growth rate has slowed. The economists expect that to continue through the end of the year, with some pickup in 2012.”

Keith Harvey, vice president of sales and marketing for Kaiser Aluminum, Foothill Ranch, Calif., says the last two post-recession years started out well for his company, but lost momentum in the second half. Nonetheless, Kaiser’s shipments grew 15 percent in 2010 and are up nearly 20 percent so far this year, although Harvey expects the 2011 growth rate to moderate as the year winds down.

The economic uncertainty is the biggest impediment to otherwise healthy business activity in most of aluminum’s major markets, agree most executives. “Our customers are unsure about what’s going to happen in the next four to six months. They may have a job today, but they don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow,” says Greg Weekes, vice president of Eastern Metal Supply, Lake Worth, Fla.

The uncertainty is even reflected in the recent downtrend in the aluminum equity market. “There is a difference in what we are observing between trends in exchange-traded commodities and non-exchange traded commodities, which is an indication of what’s really happening on Main Street,” says Timothy Hayes, O’Carroll’s colleague at Davenport & Co. “When you look at non-exchange traded commodities, such as iron ore and scrap, they’ve continued to hold firm or creep higher since the end of June. In our view, the non-exchange traded commodities give you a better read on the true fundamentals because they’re not impacted by speculative buying.”

For producers and distributors, those fundamentals remain fairly solid in most of the material’s major end markets—save one. Construction, one of the “Three Cs” along with cans and cars, continues to be a major drag on economic recovery.

“It all goes back to the housing market,” says Parks Dodd, president of Aluminomics, Roswell, Ga. “That’s probably what the government should be doing, providing aid to the housing market instead of the other things they’re pushing.”

The lack of new-home construction has hurt retail and commercial construction, as well. “Housing can’t seem to come off its bottom, and most of the nonresidential markets follow residential,” Hayes says. On top of that, he adds, aluminum remains vulnerable to competition from other materials such as vinyl siding.

In the transportation markets, it’s aluminum that is encroaching on other materials’ turf. The lightweight metal continues to win share from steel in the automotive and truck/trailer sectors. “Transportation has been a bright star and has managed to grow handsomely over prior year’s numbers,” says Thomas Brackman, president of Lincolnshire, Ill.-based Nichols Aluminum and chairman of the Aluminum Association.

Aluminum industry sales to automotive manufacturers climbed 11 percent in 2010 and are expected to grow an additional 8 percent in 2011. North American light vehicle production could reach 13 million units this year, a substantial recovery from less than 9 million vehicles during the recession, but still well below the industry’s 17-million-unit peak. Likewise, the truck/trailer market enjoyed a big uptick in 2011, though off significant lows.

Just as important, aluminum is winning a larger share of each vehicle produced. In its recent report, Ducker Worldwide estimates the average North American vehicle will contain 343 pounds of aluminum in 2012, up from 327 pounds just three years earlier. Aluminum is expected to double its share of the average light vehicle mix to 16 percent by 2025, compared to its 2008 base year.

In the past, automotive aluminum was typically confined to non-structural components such as wheels, transmissions and cylinder blocks, using secondary aluminum products. Future growth will be driven by primary aluminum’s use in hoods, trunks and doors, Ducker predicts. Trend reports suggest a minimum 41 percent share in hoods by 2017 and 53 percent by 2025.

The reasons behind future market share gains are obvious. With new, stricter government standards demanding better fuel efficiency, automotive companies are looking to take weight out of the vehicle in every possible location. This is driving the substitution of aluminum for steel, a trend the steel industry is trying to counter through the development of advanced high-strength steels.

But the aluminum industry is convinced the shift toward its material is inevitable. “Since I’ve been driving, gas prices have only gone one direction,” says Kevin Lowery, director of communications for New York-based Alcoa’s Global Rolled Products division. “Consumers are looking for cars to be more fuel efficient, and OEMS are under pressure to make their cars more fuel efficient under the new CAFE standards. When you have those forces coming together, the quickest and most economical way to make that happen is to put more aluminum in the car.”

The movement toward aluminum does not have to result in increased costs, claims Lowery, despite the material’s higher price tag compared to steel. “Lightweighting the car in aluminum serves as a cost-savings enabler. If you’ve got a lighter car, you can put in a V-6 instead of a V-8 engine and get the same kind of performance with a smaller drive train. There is huge savings in that.”

Kevin Moore, manager of secondary aluminum purchasing at General Motors, addressed the Aluminum Association’s Aluminum Week meeting to discuss the material’s prospects in automotive. While overwhelmingly bullish on aluminum’s potential applications, he expressed concerns about the domestic aluminum industry’s ability to handle automakers’ increasing requirements. Industry leaders believe such fears are unfounded.

“The supply chain for aluminum, whether that’s primary or scrap-based, is well resourced,” says Brackman. “If you look at association data, we’re underutilized on installed capacity. We can assure any customer who wants any volume of aluminum that the supply chain is firm.”

“If there’s an attractive opportunity, we’re not shy about putting up capacity. It’s a very competitive industry and very diversified from the supply base,” adds Jean-Marc Germain, president of Novelis North America and vice chairman of the Aluminum Association.

Almost as if on cue, Alcoa proved Germain’s contention. One day after Moore’s remarks, the aluminum giant announced its plans to invest $300 million in its Davenport, Iowa, facility to meet increased demand from the automotive industry. The expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.

Alcoa’s announcement follows other expansions by major North American aluminum mills to increase rolling capacity. In July, Novelis reported plans for a $200 million expansion of its rolling operations in Oswego, N.Y., to meet increasing demand for aluminum sheet by the automotive industry. The project, to be completed by summer 2013, will add 200 kilotons of production, which is five times the company’s North American capacity for automotive sheet.

In August, Kaiser Aluminum announced plans to further expand heat-treat plate capacity at its Trentwood rolling mill in Spokane, Wash. The $21 million investment is expected to debottleneck its processing centers and increase its capacity to produce heat treat plate for the aerospace industry by 5 percent. It, too, will come on stream in 2013.

Aleris, Beachwood, Ohio, also will invest $70 million to install a new cold-rolling mill in its Duffel, Belgium, facility, to meet increasing orders for wide automotive body sheet.

In addition to automotive, demand for aluminum in other end markets is also trending up, as U.S. industrial production continues to recover. Helping is the weak dollar, which has opened up export opportunities. “We’re starting to export more,” Hayes says, “and the industrial equipment sector is really benefiting.”

On top of that, Harvey says, the industry is seeing an increasing number of companies returning to North America after relocating to China and other low-wage markets because the perceived cost savings are not materializing. “We have a lot of customers saying they’re seeing subcontractors come back from China. They may be going to Mexico, but it’s still an improvement.”

Spending on capital goods was strong in the first half but slowed in the third quarter, noted Dodd. He expects it to pick up in the fourth quarter as companies seek to capitalize on favorable depreciation rules set to expire next year.

Likewise, the consumer electronics market has slowed a bit, though industry watchers believe that is temporary. “We think it’s going to stay down the balance of this year, but most of the forecasts have it recovering in the second quarter of next year,” says Sales at Reliance.

Some of the same attributes driving aluminum purchases for automotive applications will serve the material well as it tries to gain share in the electronics market. “People want cool, they want thin and they want light,” Lowery says.

“Aluminum use in laptops and tablets is exploding.”

Aluminum trades around $2,000 per ton today, nearly three times more than hot-rolled steel at about $700 a ton. But economist Robert Genetski, speaking at the Aluminum Association event, put that price disadvantage into perspective. Over the past 10 years, aluminum’s price has risen 40 percent—only about half that of other commodities—so the gap is narrowing. “In addition to the intrinsic advantages of aluminum, the cost side of the equation is getting better as time passes and is another reason to be optimistic,” he told the aluminum executives.

Eastern Supply’s Weekes has seen aluminum gain ground against both stainless and galvanized material. “Galvanized prices have gone up dramatically over the past few years, so a lot of people have come back to aluminum,” he says.

All of these trends suggest that aluminum is definitely a growth industry. “We’re very positive about the future,” says Germain at Novelis, “but don’t ask me about a forecast for the next month.”

Aluminum Association Puts Data Behind Sustainability Story

For years, the aluminum industry has been touting its product’s recyclability and other sustainable features. Now it has the data to back up its boasts.

During last month’s Aluminum Association Aluminum Week event in Chicago, the trade group released the results of its study on aluminum’s benefits. Aluminum: The Element of Sustainability is a comprehensive report covering the material’s improvements over the past 20 years.

“We needed to be better than our competitors in telling our story. We needed to build that database to allow us to tell that story credibly over the long haul,” says Steve Williamson of Tri-Arrows Aluminum and a member of the Arlington, Va.-based Aluminum Association’s Sustainability Committee. The report covers seven aspects of the material’s sustainability: strength, durability, flex-ibility, impermeability, low weight, corrosion resistance and, of course, re-cyclability.

The idea for the report was triggered by Wal-Mart’s packaging scorecard introduced in 2006. But the association quickly recognized the benefits for the material as a whole. While the aluminum can is iconic for its recyclability, the industry has also improved the material’s environmental attributes in other areas.

The report notes that energy demand for primary aluminum production has declined 17 percent since 1991, while energy demand for secondary production has fallen 58 percent. Similarly, greenhouse gas emissions caused by primary production have dropped 72 percent in the past 20 years, while emissions from secondary production have declined 65 percent.

Additionally, aluminum’s benefit to fuel efficiency in automotive and light truck applications alone nearly neutralize the environmental impacts associated with the industry’s primary production activities, the study found. “Lightweighting” vehicles with aluminum in 2009 offset 90 percent of the energy consumption and 96 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions associated with primary aluminum production.

While sustainability concerns are driving decisions in packaging and automotive, the material’s sustainability traits can be leveraged in every industry, officials says. “Pretty much everybody is interested in certain aspects of sustainability, regardless of what market they’re in, including the industrial products market,” says Kevin Lowery, director of communications for Alcoa’s Global Rolled Products division. “People are looking for a product that will bring environmental benefits to their process.”

The report is based on both government data and information from several aluminum groups, including the Aluminum Association, the International Aluminium Institute and the European Aluminium Association. All of that data has been made available in the report, including proprietary figures, setting the aluminum industry apart from other trade groups.

“We decided we should be transparent and challenge other industries to do the same,” says Steve Gardner, director of communications for AA and a chief architect of the report. “In forums where we’ve been on with plastics or glass, it’s a great feeling to be able to say, ‘Our data is out there, where’s yours?’”

The association believes the report will benefit the industry in numerous ways. “Now we’ve got a very good defense based on the data we have. We can respond to challenges that come from competing materials. We can respond to inquiries from regulators and legislators regarding our products and processes. We can now go on the offense and take our story to the marketplace,” Williamson says.

The full report is expected to be available for download on the association’s website, www.aluminum.org, this month.

Versatile Tesoro

February 20, 2010
I bought my Golden Sabre II new about 13 years ago and it mostly sat in my attic until in 2008 I remembered I had it and dug it out.
The past year and a half I have used it regularly with good success. It is not a depth monster but will easily find coins and jewelry to about 6 or 7 inches. I tried using an 11" deep scan coil to see if it would add depth but didn't notice a difference. The tone quality also suffered so I stuck to the stock 8" concentric after that.
I have since bought a Garrett Freedom Ace Plus, Tesoro Cutlass II umax, and a Spectrum XLT.
In comparison, it beats the Garrett, hands-down, has less depth than the Cutlass but lots more discrimination options and less depth that the XLT but I found that I get more non-coin goodies and nickles with the GSII than I do with the XLT.

The GSII has many of the discrimination options as the higher end Tesoros at only a fraction of the price. Used ones can be found for less than $200.

1. Clear, easy to read tones. This is a strong point of most Tesoros And the GSII will not disappoint. With a little practice, one can learn the difference between coins and trash a majority of the time by the quality and length of the tone.

2. Good two-tone discrimination. I am able to set the tones to sound clear on nickles but broken on most pull tabs.

3. Notch accept and reject. In a virgin park, you can easily cherry pic quarters and dollar coins with the notch accept or you can reject many pull tabs without missing nickels and gold.

4. Good all-metal function.

5. Very accurate pinpointing.

6. It's a Tesoro! Lifetime Warranty!

1. Not a deep seeking detector. Many finds are within the 6" range so I really didn't mind much.

2. Deeper coins are pretty much the same volume as shallow ones so you will not have an indication of depth. Sometimes the close to surface coins will scream at you but it doesn't give soft tones on deeper coins like some of the other Tesoros.

3. A little heavy compared to most other Tesoros.

4. Takes 8 AA batteries that are cumbersome to change. The batteries will at least last a good 20 hours.

Overall Rating 4 stars

Community News The Damned Things Recorded With Metric Halo ULN-8
The Damned Things Recorded With Metric Halo ULN-8 Print E-mail

Rob_CaggianoRob Caggiano

HOPEWELL JUNCTION, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 2010: Rob Caggiano is perhaps best known as the guitarist for heavy metal icon Anthrax, but those in the scene know he is responsible for some of the best-produced albums of the last decade, including We’ve Come For You All by Anthrax, Hunter by A Life Once Lost, Glitter In The Gutter by Jesse Malin (featuring Bruce Springsteen) and the Grammy-nominated Nymphetamine by Cradle of Filth, among many, many others. Most recently, Rob is busy producing and engineering the forthcoming debut album for his new band The Damned Things which features himself and Scott Ian of Anthrax together with members of Fall Out Boy and Every Time I Die. To perfect the guitar and bass sounds on the band’s forthcoming album to be released on Island/Def Jam, Caggiano stepped up from his longtime favorite interface, a Metric Halo ULN-2, to the Metric Halo ULN-8, allowing him to input multiple mics on multiple cabinets per take. Apart from drums, everything on the yet-to-be-named album went through the ULN-8 to capture the “in your face” sound that the producer is noted for.

Caggiano describes the songwriting of The Damned Things as a unique melding of classic rock with contemporary elements, as “raw, but not too raw.” He sought to capture that collection of contrasts and complements in the sonic signature of the new album. The band recorded Andy Hurley’s drums at Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village straight to analog tape and then dumped the tape to files for use in Caggiano’s Digital Performer/Metric Halo ULN-8 rig. From there, they retreated to Brooklyn’s MetroSonic Studio to record guitars, bass, and vocals, along with some keyboards and percussion. “MetroSonic is a great place to set up shop,” said Caggiano. “Lots of space in the control room, plenty of old gear, a funky live room and lots of windows that peek out at the NYC skyline! Having natural light coming into the control room really helps the vibe for me… being able to see the Empire State Building in the middle of a lightning storm while cutting a screaming guitar solo is something that most people will never experience. Words can't even describe it really!"

Caggiano demo’d most of the new album before hitting the studio, turning to the imperfect, but reasonable, approximations delivered by modeling plug-ins to zero in on the gear he wanted to mic for the real thing. The most notable departure from business-as-usual metal recording was the elaborate guitar rig that helped bring about the melding of classic and contemporary that the producer sought. With plenty of exceptions, the principle guitar sound on the forthcoming album is delivered by a Fryette Sig-X head through Fryette cabs combined with either a Marshall, Wizard, or Orange and the other through various other cabs (heavy metal trivia fans will like to know that the Marshall 800 head is the very same one used by Scott Ian to record Among The Living years ago). The guitar went into a Radial Tonebone to split the signal prior to hitting the amps. A combo of an Audio-Technica 4050 and a Shure 57 captured the Fryette cabinet and then went into a Universal Audio 2108 and a Neve Portico 5042 Tape Emulator before it hit the “return” of the ULN-8. The other head/cab featured an Audio-Technica 4033 and a Shure 57 straight into the ULN-8 using the internal mic pres (set to Classic British).

“I’ve produced over fifteen albums with the Metric Halo ULN-2,” said Caggiano. “I love the mic pres and the converters because everything I run through them sounds ‘in your face.’ The ULN-8 is even more astounding with even BETTER converters and eight of the ULN-2 mic pres!! For The Damned Things, I tended to use the ‘Classic British character setting on the ULN-8’s mic pres, quite a bit. It just sounds awesome! It gave the guitars and vocals exactly the tone I was looking for, and it even delivered an aggressive sound for a conga percussion riff! Of course there are other "character" settings to choose from along with the option of just hitting the pres as clean as possible with no additional tonal coloration. I feel like I’ve only begun to tap the potential of the ULN-8 mic pres!”

Although The Damned Things’ debut will be mixed by Nick Raskulinecz in Nashville, Caggiano is looking forward to future projects that will allow him to take advantage of the Metric Halo ULN-8’s high-resolution summing amplifier for mixdown.

Deadly School Shooting In Parkland COMPLETE COVERAGEPHOTOS

BOSTON (CBSMiami) – Sometimes in sports, a player will run his mouth when he shouldn’t and then has his words shoved right down his throat. That’s just what happened to Boston Celtics guard Jason Terry Monday night against the Miami Heat.

Terry had spouted off over the weekend that he wasn’t impressed with the Heat’s now 23-game winning streak. The Heat has no love lost for the Boston Celtics, but Terry’s mouth is much better than his game and especially his defense.

During the Heat’s victory over the Celtics Monday night, Terry found himself in a position where many other players have been before him, all alone with LeBron James on a breakaway.

Common sense would say to just get out of the way because there’s no real way outside of an intentional foul to stop LeBron on a breakaway. But, Terry eschewed common sense and decided to try to defend the basket against LeBron.

The resulting play is a microcosm of both how well the Heat have been playing this season and where Jason Terry’s career is right now. Check out the play below.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Obamacare will not be repealed and replaced – at least not now.

Word late Monday that enough Republican senators will vote no to kill the GOP’s main campaign promise over the last seven years.

With all Democrats opposed to the bill, Senate leadership needs a “yes” vote from nearly every GOP senator.

President Donald Trump tweeted out in response to some of the reports.

A vote on the Senate Republican plan to repeal and replace Obamacare was supposed to happen this week, but was delayed as Arizona Sen. John McCain recovers from surgery to remove a blood clot.

“We hope John McCain gets better very soon. Because we miss him. He is a crusty voice in Washington. Plus, we need his vote,” said President Donald Trump.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell could only afford to lose two Republican votes. Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Rand Paul have announced their opposition and about a dozen others were on the fence.

“I think the longer the bill’s out there, the more conservative Republicans are going to discover that it’s not repeal,” said Sen. Paul.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said President Trump was working the phones and inviting senators to win support for the measure.

“Some states need this, some states need that, but we’re getting it together and it’s going to happen,” said President Trump.

Undecided senators were waiting to see what the Congressional Budget Office said about the revised bill’s cost and how many people will have coverage.

It contained Sen. Ted Cruz’s proposal to allow insurers to offer cheaper, bare-bones plans. In response, the nation’s largest insurers sent a letter calling Cruz’s plan “unworkable in any form.”

Lawmakers expected to see the CBO numbers Monday, but with the vote delayed analysts were taking more time to work on their calculations.

The CBO analysis on the first version of the Senate bill showed more than 20 million more Americans would be uninsured over a the next decade compared to current law.

Grand Trunk Pub

This building, dating back to the 1800's, used to be the ticket office for the Grand Trunk Railroad in Detroit. For years it was called Foran's Irish Pub. Now it has reverted back to the GT: Grand Trunk Pub with the original hardwood floors and 25 foot vaulted ceilings. Very cool place with locally brewed beers on tap and yes, they serve Vernor's (Michigan accounts for 80% of its sales) and Faygo pop (HQ still in Detroit)! We thought their pear cider was wonderful, too. It's located on Woodward, near Campus Martius.

Milano Bakery on Russell

If you're looking for breakfast in Detroit, we love Milano's Bakery and Café on the corner of Mack and Russell. It's got a warm comfy feel--very bright and airy--and the food is outstanding. Perfect place to plop down before you head into Eastern Market to do your Saturday morning shopping.

Black Friday!!

Today is Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. Don't forget the red kettle people. Evidently there were complaints from customers of a Macomb County store about the bell ringing. That didn't stop this Salvation Army volunteer from doing her job! Try to share your blessing with others.

Dearborn's Shatila Bakery

Shatila Bakery is located in Dearborn on Warren Avenue, just west of Schaefer and their pastries are divine. We have tried almost everything in this counter. Our favorites are the baba au rhum, the creme caramel, the fruit tarts, the opera cake, the mousse-filled chocolate tea cups and the eclairs. They are open until 11pm!! We walked in here one night at 9:30pm and it was packed wall-to-wall. They are obviously doing something right.

Fisher Mansion in Detroit

The Fisher Mansion on Lenox in Detroit was built in the Spanish Mission style in the 1920's. It was a famous auto baron home built for Lawrence "King" Fisher and they spared no expense constructing it. They give tours Friday through Sunday. Today it is the center for the Bhaktivedanta a.k.a. Hare Krishna. Doreen and I were able to sit down with them in their café called Govinda's and have a wonderful vegetarian lunch and delightful conversation.

St Nativity of the Virgin Mary

You can't help but notice this Macedonian Orthodox church on 19 Mile and Ryan especially if the sun is shining! The domes and the crosses light up like they are wired for electricity. St Nativity of the Virgin Mary opened its doors in November of 2000. Architectually, it is pretty awesome. It serves one of the the largest Macedonian populations in the US.

Ice Skating at Campus Martius downtown Detroit

The tree lighting ceremony to kick off the holiday season was well attended last night in almost balmy weather! They placed the huge evergreen on top of the water fountain which is still spewing water. Pretty awesome. There were tons of ice skaters on hand for the seasonal opening of the outdoor rink and marching bands and choral groups to get everybody on their feet. Now, all we need is some snow.......NOT!

Somerset Mall in Troy

Somerset Mall on Big Beaver Road is all decked out for the holidays. You have to love the sheer phenomenal scale of two malls on the north and south side of a 10 lane divided highway that is connected by an overhead glassed in passage with moving walkways! We love to go here just to stroll and admire the displays. Can't resist a tour through Crate and Barrel and Williams Sonoma and the Tea Shop and oh yes, the Apple store!

Traffic Jam and Snug

Most Detroiters know they can get good comfort food at Traffic Jam and Snug, which has been honing its reputation since 1965 near the Wayne State Campus. Top's on our list is Carlotta Chocolatta Ice Cream Cheesecake and their homemade bread. TJS was also Michigan's first brew pub! They are a smoke-free restaurant....and they have a balcony from which you can peer into the kitchen and watch the action. Cool!

Sweetest Heart of Mary

Wasn't yesterday the most beautiful mid-November day in Michigan? 66 degrees and gorgeous blue skies. It was a blessing for Brian and Shelayne who were married at the historical church of Sweetest Heart of Mary in Detroit. Built for the Polish immigrants back in 1893, it stands rather majestically on Canfield and Russell. David Carle cranked out some beautiful music on the the Austin pipe organ. We could not help but admire the unique altar of hand-carved white wood. Then after the ceremony the three bells in the north tower (St Mary, St Joseph and St Barbara) rang out jubilantly. Bóg Zapłać That's Polish for God bless you!

The Hurlbut Memorial Gate in Detroit

This unusual, elegant gate is located in front of the Waterworks Park on Jefferson in Detroit. It's named after Chauncy Hurlburt who served as city water commissioner and donated the funds to build this Beaux-Arts classical gateway in 1894. Structures like this are one great reason to take a ride up Jefferson Avenue and back again.

D'Amato's in Royal Oak

One of our favorite Italian bistros is in Royal Oak by the railroad tracks....on the corner of Sherman and Lafayette. Along with the usual pastas and pizzas they have some very unique and delicious culinary creations as well as great wines to choose from. The back room is less noisy and less smoky (when will Michigan ban public smoking??)

Grosse Pointe Yacht Club

Driving east on Jefferson Avenue from Detroit, water is visible for most of the trip. The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club is a landmark by water or land. It was started by 25 men in 1914 who wanted to pursue their interests in ice boating and sailing on Lake St. Clair. The clubhouse bell tower stands 187 feet tall.

Edmund Fitzgerald Bell, White Fish

The ship Edmund Fitzgerald was lost with her entire crew of 29 men on Lake Superior November 10, 1975, near Whitefish Point in the UP. At the request of family members surviving her crew, Fitzgerald's 200 lb. bronze bell was recovered by the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society on July 4, 1995 and is now displayed in the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum next to the Whitefish Point Light Station. It is a memorial to her lost crew. We get goosebumps walking through this museum listening to Gordon Lightfoot's ballad about the night this ship was lost. You can listen to it here. It's an eerie and unique place you simply must visit in Michigan!

Kensington Church in Troy

Kensington Church in Troy is one of Michigan's mega Christian churches (thousands of people attend on a weekly basis). We call it a high energy, relevant, welcoming place. WE caught these munchkins on stage on a recent Saturday service. They run one or two mission trips a month to places like Peru, Kenya, South Africa, India, Ecuador, etc. Treasure Island is their wonderful children's program. They have great stuff, too, for middle schoolers, teens and yes, adults. The main campus is at John R and 19 Mile (Square Lake Rd) with lots of little campuses in the area as well as Salt Lake City and a new one starting soon in Orlando.

The Tuba Museum and Restaurant

Come on now, have you ever seen a tuba museum and a restaurant combined? This unique place is located in Okemos with a tuba fountain in the garden. Just a stone's throw from the MSU campus, it's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and they serve micro beers on draft of which Tuba Charlie's is their specialty. More info here.

Seul Choix Point Light, Gulliver

The Seul Choix Point Light, built in 1895, stands in the Upper Peninsula in Gulliver where there is a harbor of refuge. Seul Choix was named by the French and translates to "Only Choice" as it is the only areas where boats can take refuge along this part of Lake Michigan. The tower is 79 feet tall with a cool 10 sided cast iron lantern. Many people say it is haunted! Strange happenings have been reported including silverware that moves, the strong smell of cigars and the sound of someone climbing the lighthouse steps. Some believe a lighthouse keeper is still at work.

Lake Superior Boat Wreck

Doreen saw this boat as she was hiking along Lake Superior near Grand Marais. The evergreens line much of the trail along the waterfront. Walk a few more feet and you will have a totally different perspective. It's just so majestic. The Indians name for this huge fresh water lake is Gitche Gumee. We can't help but chant the "Song of Hiawatha" from Longfellow:
"By the shores of Gitche Gumee,
By the Shining Big-Sea-Water
Stood the wigwam of Nokomis
Daughter of the Moon, Nokomis.
Dark behind it rose the forest,
Rose the black and gloomy pine trees
Rose the firs with cones upon them;
Bright before it beat the water
beat the clear and sunny water,
Beat the shining Big-Sea-Water.

A Quiet Moment at Indian River

This beautiful sculpture "A Quiet Moment" was created by Canadian artist Timothy P. Smaltz. It stands in the gardens of Cross in the Woods in Indian River. When Suzie and I visited there one Sunday morning, it was quiet and I could almost feel the arms around me, filling me with security, hope and peace. Additional casts of this sculpture are located in Italy and Bethlehem. The artist describes his sculptures as visual prayers and creates works to glorify Christ. Learn more here. There are many beatuiful sculptures at the National Shrine of Cross in the Woods.

Energy companies in Michigan are likely to receive massive tax cuts thanks to the new federal tax overhaul. That means customers could eventually see lower electric and gas bills.

(photo by Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio)

The Michigan Public Service Commission acted appropriately when it signed off on a 2015 rate hike for Consumers Energy customers, the Michigan Court of Appeals said in a ruling this week.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and groups representing business and residential Consumers customers sued to overturn the new rates.

They said Consumers didn’t make a strong enough case for the 10.3% rate hike.

The Palisades nuclear power plant will stay open until 2022 after all.

Late last year Entergy, the company that owns the plant, announced that Palisades would shut down early, in the fall of 2018.

Palisades spokesman Val Gent says they told employees Thursday morning, when executives unfurled a big banner that read “2022.”

The Michigan Public Service Commission is considering a rule that opponents say would dramatically raise electricity rates for schools, universities and businesses, as well as potentially eliminate competition for Michigan’s two major utilities.

The rule would require electricity providers that compete with DTE Energy and Consumers Energy to supply their customers with energy generated within Michigan — instead of from a larger market.

Michigan energy is getting greener.

A state report released Wednesday says all Michigan energy providers met or exceeded a government requirement to supply 10% of energy from renewable sources in 2015.

The Michigan Public Service Commission wrote the report based on a 2008 law. That law also called for a 12.5% standard by 2019 and a 15% standard by 2021.

The majority of the energy came from provider investments, while a small part came from banked energy credits bought from consumers with an energy surplus.

State requests power supply plans from utilities

The Michigan Public Service Commission is giving power supply companies three months to report how they will meet electricity demands through 2021.

This announcement marks the third time the MPSC has requested that utilities come up with a five-year plan.

Sally Talberg is a chairman for the Public Service Commission. In a statement, she said that the Commission is responsible for ensuring electric supplies will fit the public's needs.

Says Talberg,

This month the state should get some more information about the expected closure of the Palisades nuclear plant near South Haven.

The Michigan Public Service Commission sent a letter to Consumers Energy last month with a laundry list of questions about the planned closure.

Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio

The Michigan Public Service Commission wants answers from Consumers Energy about its plan to end its agreement with Entergy Nuclear Palisades, LLC to buy electricity from the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant.

The plan would end the power purchase agreement about four years early and result in the permanent closure of the nuclear plant in October, 2018.

The Commission is initiating a proceeding to make sure customers' energy needs will still be reliably met.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan regulators have directed their staff to develop rules designed to toughen utilities' defenses against cyberattacks.

  Michigan Public Service Commission Chairwoman Sally Talberg says natural gas and electric providers face attempted intrusions into their computer system on an almost daily basis. She says federal and state governments need to work with utilities to create programs to deal with security issues.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A state commission has ordered Jackson-based Consumers Energy to pay a nearly $516,000 fine over billing rules violations.

The Michigan Public Service Commission announced the fine Thursday. It came about five months after the commission began an investigation into the utility's billing practices in Michigan.

The commission found that Consumers Energy failed to complete meter reads for more than 2,500 customers and determined that the company wasn't properly communicating how much time customers had to pay bills.

Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio

Michigan could face an electricity shortage in the next few years.

New federal regulations are forcing many coal-fired power plants to shut down in 2016.  That will leave utilities with less capacity to generate electricity. The loss will be most noticeable on hot summer days, when demand for electricity soars in Michigan.

Some southeast Michigan cities are preparing to take on the state’s largest utility.

At issue is DTE Energy’s plan to raise rates on municipal LED streetlight installations.

A new report says the number of people generating their own electricity in Michigan and sharing it with others is growing.

This week, the Michigan Public Service Commission released its annual "net metering" report. There’s been an 18% increase in electricity being added to Michigan’s power grid by homeowners, non-profits, and small businesses using their own solar and wind-power generators.

BWL's general manager issued a statement saying the utility has "already begun implementing many of the improvements recommended by the MPSC."

State utility regulators are the latest to give Lansing’s city electric utility poor marks for how it handled a massive ice storm in December.

The Michigan Public Service Commission says the Lansing Board of Water & Light was not prepared for the Dec. 21 ice storm that knocked out power to about 40,000 BWL customers. Many customers had to wait 10 days or more to get their electricity restored.

The MPSC report echoes the findings of BWL’s own internal review and a panel appointed by Lansing’s mayor. Among other things, the MPSC says BWL needs to improve its tree trimming and communications programs. The public service commission does not regulate BWL, so its findings are little more than recommendations for change.

Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero asked for the state review. He says the three reports will provide a “road map” for BWL to be a more reliable energy provider.

BWL’s general manager issued a statement saying the utility has “already begun implementing many of the improvements recommended by the MPSC.”

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - State officials say they are processing credits to help low-income customers with their winter energy bills.

The Michigan Public Service Commission said this week that state treasury officials have mailed instruction booklets and forms pertaining to the Michigan Home Heating Credits for the 2013 tax year.

The materials also are available online and at many libraries, post offices and Department of Human Services' branch offices.

The average credit for last year was $124.

Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio

Lansing’s mayor wants an independent review of how the city’s utility handled a major power outage last month.

The Lansing Board of Water and Light has been criticized for the long wait many of its customers had before their electricity was restored after the Dec. 22 ice storm. About 40% of BWL’s customers lost power after the storm. Many had to wait for more than a week to have their lights turned back on.

Consumers Energy

State regulators are going to spend the next few months assessing how well Consumers Energy and DTE responded to a massive power outage after an ice storm last month.

It’s estimated 626,000 DTE and Consumers Energy customers lost power after the Dec. 22 ice storm.

It was New Year’s Eve by the time the utilities restored power to most of its customers.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Some Michigan residents saw lower heating bills this winter because of reduced natural gas prices and milder temperatures.

The Michigan Public Service Commission announced Friday that households that use natural gas for heating received lower heating bills. Nearly 80 percent of all Michigan households use natural gas to heat their homes.

Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A new report finds that most of Michigan's electricity providers are on pace to generate 10 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2015.

The Michigan Public Service Commission's annual renewable energy report released Friday finds the use of wind, the sun and other renewables was expected to have reached 4.7 percent last year. The estimate was 4.4 percent in 2011 - up from 3.6 percent the previous year.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan Public Service Commission and Michigan Energy Office officials plan to hold the first of seven forums this week on the state's energy future.

Among those scheduled to speak Thursday in Lansing include representatives of the Michigan Manufacturers Association, Michigan Environmental Council and Citizens Against Rate Excess.

The four-hour public forum called "Readying Michigan to Make Good Energy Decisions" starts at 1 p.m. at the Library of Michigan.

Harsens Island is known as a laid-back retirement-and-vacation community in Lake St. Clair. About 1200 people live there year-round, and that number grows to 5,000 during the summer months.

In order to visit the island you can take your own boat or you can take Champion’s Auto Ferry. But people who live there may not be able to take the ferry in the near future because the company’s owner wants to retire, and since the ferry service is a private business, it’s not clear whose responsible when it comes to maintaining service.

Michiganders will use less gasoline and electricity this summer, that's according to the Michigan Public Service Commission.

The state utility regulatory agency issued its annual Summer Energy Appraisal today.

Judy Palnau is the agency’s spokeswoman. She says there are a couple reasons why the public service commission expects gasoline sales will decline about 2 percent this summer in Michigan.

“Part of that is a economy. But part of that is we are also driving more energy efficient vehicles,” says Palnau.

Palnau says the economy is also a reason why they expect electricity use will dip slightly this summer.

“Our sluggish economy is still a factor in decreasing use of electricity,” says Palnau, though the MPSC expects residential electric use will increase.

The MPSC study also predicts natural gas sales will decline nearly 5 percent this summer. A mild winter drove down demand among both business and residential natural gas customers.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Warmer weather wasn't the only factor lowering heating bills in Michigan this winter, but it sure helped.

The Michigan Public Service Commission notes that lower natural gas prices also contributed to lower heating bills in the state. Roughly 80 percent of Michigan households use natural gas for home heating

But the biggest factor probably was the weather. The state agency said Friday that temperatures were around 20 percent warmer than normal during the recently completed November through March heating season.

The Michigan Court of Appeals has rejected an effort by Jackson-based Consumers Energy to reverse a state order that it repay $85 million to its customers.

Consumers Energy’s customers are not getting any new money back from the utility.   Consumers already repaid the $85 Million a year ago.

But the legal fight over the state’s order has continued since then.

Thousands of Michiganders could lose access to tens of millions of dollars in home heating assistance this winter. Last month, the Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that Consumers Energy no longer has to collect money from its natural gas customers for a low-income energy assistance program.

Consumers Energy customers may see their monthly electric bills increase by the end of the year.  The Jackson-based utility wants to increase the average customer’s bill by more than seven dollars a month.  Jeff Holyfield  is a Consumers Energy spokesman.

“The increase we have requested in this rate case primarily reflects the major investments…nearly a billion dollars that  Consumers Energy is making to maintain and improve service to its 1.8 million electric customers and to improve the environment.”

There’s a bit of a disconnect for many Michiganders when it comes to logging onto  the internet.   A new survey shows 82% of Michiganders have a home computer.   But access to a broadband connection to the internet is another matter.

Jobless Claims Up

Today we are back up on the jobless claims by 15,000. They came in at 381,000.

That seems to me significant, considering that this was a shortened data reporting week with the Christmas holiday.

What will happen next month when temporary workers are let go and businesses start to look at their bottom line? ZeroHedge puts it like this: “pink slips will fly on turboboost.”

Seems about right. Add to that the continuing European crisis, their recession and our banks and our manufacturers. No wonder someone on cable today said she’s expecting QE3.

I hope not, but it’s still possible.

Apparently giving birth to my second child has made me sympathetic to mothers and potential mothers everywhere.  All kinds of mothers and potential mothers.  Even chicken ones.

Let’s set the scene.

First off you should be aware that most chickens in a small flock lay eggs in the same nesting box.  So while we have three nesting boxes, all seven of our chickens lay their eggs in the same box.  Typically they lay their eggs and then leave.  Every now and then (happened twice to us in the past year) a chicken becomes “broody” and gets it into her head that she wants to be a mommy and decides to sit on the eggs.  Since we don’t have a rooster, in our case they are unfertilized eggs.

No amount of patient sitting is going to hatch those puppies.  Er, chicks.  If they hatched they would obviously be chicks.  But how cute would little puppies be hatching out of eggs amiright?

If you don’t convince the chicken she does not in fact want to be a mommy, she will continue to sit barely moving, only get up for a few minutes every day or two to eat and drink a little.  Eggs typically hatch in 21 days, but if a mama keeps sitting and sitting and sitting on dud eggs, she can lose feathers, lose a ton of weight, and really do some damage to herself.  She lays no more eggs during this time.  Or so all of this is what The Husband tells me.  (If you want to know more about this stuff, just ask and I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to tell you about it… the hatching process, how to break a broody hen if you don’t want her to be  a Mom, etc.)

Here’s Curly.  I found her like this one evening.  Sitting on unfertilized eggs.

Curly Nest

Following is the resulting text message conversation between me and The Husband that happened over the next few days. For the record, the “Curly Removal Tool” is a soft broom we gently used to shoo her out of the nest a few times, testing to see if she was serious about wanting to be a Mama.

Eggs 0

Eggs 1 R

Eggs 2 R

Eggs 3 R

Eggs 4 R

Eggs 5 R

Eggs 6 R

Eggs 7 R

Eggs 8 R

Eggs 9 R

Eggs 10 R

Wanna know what happened next?  This.

Eggs RW

And this.

Eggs Nest RW

Oh and this.

Eggs Sit RW

The Husband bought Curly a dozen fertilized eggs and built her a private nest box.  Curly is going to be a mommy everybody!!!  The Husband is currently crafting the maternity ward sign as I blog.

– Joanna

Question of the Day:  Shall we start the guesses as to how many will be girls and how many will be boys??

  1. Very glad you documented the fact it was all your idea to more than double our small flock.

  2. I like how Joanna pretends she’s not doing this for the best Easter blog post ever. Now you need a few bunnies…

  3. My guess is 7 new layers and 5 chicken dinners.

  4. I’m going with 8 chicken dinners & just four new girls.

    • Honestly I don’t know which set of numbers I’d prefer. I think I can comfortably fit four more layers… *maybe* five… in the existing coop since I overbuilt it. I’d have to increase the frequency of my weekly five minute cleanup though. Any more girls than that would yield me a bunch more eggs and we’d definitely have enough to start selling to neighbors who’ve been asking, but I’d have to build another structure (probably a tractor).

  5. I’m betting on five rotisseries, three new layers, and unfortunately two duds. I didn’t know this is where this post was going, and I was going to suggest putting some plastic eggs under her. This works too 🙂

    • I’m betting on five new ladies. At least I’m hoping for exactly five because that’s how many more we can fit in the coop (according to the husband).

  6. Ha, twelve eggs, and I accounted for ten. Add another to the rotisserie and one layer!

  7. Aww. That’s really sweet that you did this. I can’t wait to see what happens next 🙂

  8. that was the greatest convo about chickens i’ve seen all week. oh my gosh, curly.

Silver and green card

I just love this colors combination.....white , silver and shadows of green.
For this card I have used tiny bubbles cuttlebug embossing folder and the greens are made using beehive technique. This new technique fascinate me, offering many posibility to combine or using it for petals, leaves and jewelry , etc( take a look to Susan's blog ). Thanks Susan for this great technique.
For the greens I made firstly an large multi-strips using 7 strips with shadows of green. Than between the strips I have inserted the "beehive leaves" ( I don't know how to call them). And because is winter, I added two branches.
Hope you like it!

David Enoch Beem (June 24, 1837 – October 23, 1923) was a prominent lawyer, banker, and American Civil War veteran from Spencer, Owen County, Indiana. Beem, who attained the rank of captain of Company H, 14th Indiana Infantry Regiment, fought in numerous battles in the eastern United States before he mustered out of the Union army in June 1864. After the war Beem resumed his law practice in Spencer and became involved in local banking ventures. He was also active the state's Republican Party and civic affairs. Beem, a graduate of Indiana University, class of 1860, served on Purdue University's board of trustees for eighteen years. He also participated in the Grand Army of the Republic at local and state levels. Beem's papers and letters are preserved in the collections of the Indiana Historical Society in Indianapolis. The David Enoch Beem House, his former residence in Spencer, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Early life and educationEdit

David Enoch Beem, the son of Levi and Sarah (Johnson) Beem, was born on June 24, 1837, in Spencer, Owen County, Indiana.[1] Levi Beem (1803–1888), a farmer and a native of Kentucky, came to the Indiana Territory as a boy around 1810. Daivd's grandparents, Daniel and Mary Beem, settled their family in Owen County on land that became the present-day site of Spencer, Indiana. Sarah Beem (1807–1889) was the daughter of David Johnson, another early settler who came to Spencer in 1818. Levi Beem and Sarah Johnson were married in Spencer in 1825. David, was the sixth of the family's twelve children, two of whom died in infancy.[2][3]

Beem completed his early education in Spencer. In 1856 he entered Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, and graduated with a degree in law in 1860.[1][2]

Marriage and familyEdit

Beem married Mahala Joslin (1841–1929) on April 10, 1862, while home on leave during the American Civil War. She was a daughter of Amasa Joslin, a physician who came to Owen County in 1820, and Mary Ann (Allison) Joslin. David and Mahala Beem had three children: a daughter, Minnie Montrose, and two sons, David Joslin and Levi Amasa.[4][5][6]

The David Enoch Beem House, an Italianate-style residence on a 10-acre (4.0-hectare) hilltop property in Spencer, was also known as the "Beem Mansion" and "The Hill." Built in 1874, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[7]

In 1860 Beem established a law practice in his hometown of Spencer, Indiana, where he was also involved in banking ventures. Beem also served for three years as an officer in the 14th Indiana Volunteer Regiment during the American Civil War. In addition to his law practice and business interests, Beem was active in the Grand Army of the Republic and Republican Party at the state and local levels and served on Purdue University's board of trustees.

Early careerEdit

Beem was admitted to the bar in 1860 and established a law partnership in Spencer, Indiana, with Samuel H. Buskirk of Bloomington. The following year he began three years of military service as an officer in the Union army.[2]

Military serviceEdit

In response to a call for troops to serve in the Union army, Beem was the first man to enlist from Owen County and helped raise the county’s first company of troops. He enlisted on April 19, 1861, as a first sergeant.[2] Beem served in the 14th Indiana Volunteer Regiment, which initially organized for one year of service; however, it was reorganized for a three years of service in May 1861.[8] Beem and his Spencer County company mustered into service as Company H, 14th Indiana Volunteer Regiment, on June 7, 1861, at Camp Vigo, near Terre Haute, Indiana, under the command of Colonel Nathan Kimball.[9][10]

On July 10, 1861, the 14th Indiana arrived at Rich Mountain in Virginia and served as a reserve force in the Battle of Rich Mountain the following day. The 14th Indiana also pursued Confederate troops as far as Cheat Mountain.[11] Beem was promoted to first lieutenant of his company in August 1861. During the winter of 1861–62, the regiment was transferred to the Shenandoah Valley. On March 23, 1862, Beem was severely wounded in the chin during the first Battle of Kernstown, near Winchester, Virginia. He returned to active duty with the 14th Indiana following a sixty-day leave of absence. Beem was promoted to captain in May 1862.[2][11]

From July 1862 until June 1864, Beem and his regiment fought in battles at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, Spottsylvania, and Cold Harbor, as well as other campaigns as part of the Union's Army of the Potomac. In August 1863 the 14th Indiana was detached for duty in New York following the New York City draft riots and remained in New York City until September 6, 1863.[2][11] Beem and the other men of the 14th Indiana who had served three years of service mustered out of service on June 20, 1864 (backdated to June 6, 1864).[12] Beem returned home to Spencer.[6]

Post-war careerEdit

After the war, Been resumed his legal career in Spencer as a partner in the firm of Rose and Beem. The firm later dissolved, but Beem continued to practice law in Owen, Green, and Clay counties. In addition, Beem organized the First National Bank of Spencer and became its cashier and acting manager. In 1870 he organized Beem, Peden and Company, a banking firm in Spencer, and managed the business for thirty-nine years. Not all of his business ventures were as successful. Beem and others established a pork-packing operation in Spencer in 1873 that failed.[2] In 1878 Beem formed another law partnership in Spencer named Beem and Hickham. The firm continued for fifteen years before the partnership was dissolved. Afterwards, Beem continued to practice law and remained active in banking.[6] Beem was also active in the Republican Party, but never held public office. Instead, he served as chairman of the Owen County Republican Central Committee during three political campaigns. In 1880 Beem was a delegate from the Fifth Congressional District to the Republican National Convention in Chicago, where James A. Garfield was eventually nominated as the party's presidential candidate. In 1886 Beem was a candidate for state treasurer at the Republican state convention, but he did not win his party's nomination. Beem served as a presidential elector for his Congressional District in 1888 and voted for Benjamin Harrison in the electoral college.[2][6]

In 1893 Beem formed a law partnership with Joseph W. Williams of Owen County and remained active in community affairs.[13] Been served on the board of trustees of Spencer's public schools for several years and was a member of the Masons. He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1860 and represented the Indiana Conference as a delegate to the Methodist Episcopal Church's conference in New York in 1888. Beem also served for eighteen years on Purdue University's board of trustees. In addition, he held leadership roles in the state and local chapters of the Grand Army of the Republic. Beem was a charter member and the first commander of the GAR's Gettysburg Post at Spencer. In 1894 Beem served as a judge advocate for the GAR's Department of Indiana.[2][6]

Death and legacyEdit

Beem died after an extended illness in Spencer, Indiana, on October 23, 1923, at the age of eighty-six.[6] Beem and his wife, Mahala, are buried at Riverside Cemetery in Spencer.[5][14]

A collection of letters that Beem exchanged with his wife, and other family members and friends are preserved at the Indiana Historical Society in Indianapolis. Many of the letters provide details of Beem's military service in the 14th Indiana Volunteer Regiment.[15]

Honors and tributesEdit

"You Are There 1863: A Letter Home from Gettysburg," an exhibit from September 23, 2017, through January 19, 2019, at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center in downtown Indianapolis, focuses on a letter that Beem wrote on July 5, 1863, a few days after he fought in the Battle of Gettysburg.[16] The letter describes Beem's eyewitness account of the battle and its aftermath.[15]
