Summer 2019 Part 1b – OK to WV

The next leg of our journey was travelling from Oklahoma to West Virginia. These were long driving days (500+ miles each).  We did experience a few things along the way.

Our night in Oklahoma was at the Elk City KOA.  After a weird driving day from Amarillo via Lubbock, this was a nice stop!  Upon entering the office to check in, we see that they have a mini diner and bar!  John looks at the menu and is convinced that we deserve a drink (Margarita) and their Frito Chili Pie for dinner.  After dinner, John purchased the t-shirt.  They were not cheap with their alcohol!  We both had a great night sleep.

When we returned to our site, this was parked next to us.  That is what we need when the Zombie Apocalypse occurs!  Too bad they start at $490,000.  Manufactured by EarthRoamer.

Here is a view of the playground.

Welcome to Missouri and Illinois.  So many of the rivers had high water levels.  The area north of St. Louis was flooded when we passed through.

Another long driving day.  View of Louisville and some horse stable/farm.  You can’t really see the horses but they are there!

And now into West Virginia.

  1. Wow! I can’t believe the price of that RV! WV is gorgeous!! My daughters went to high school there. I loved visiting, but the mountain driving had me scared to death! How did you manage that in an RV??

    • And that is the starting price! The model we saw is over $1 million. They require a $50,000 deposit AND it takes about a year before you get it. Definitely out of our price range!!

      We love looking at other people’s too! Even some of the stuff they have out as you walk by can be interesting.

marco polo returns in disgrace -- 5/16/14

Today's selection -- from The Venetians by Paul Strathern. When Marco Polo returned from twenty-four years of trading in search of his fortune, word spread quickly that he had been reduced to rags:

"In 1295 Marco Polo, accompanied by his father and his uncle, arrived back in Venice having travelled 'from the Polar Sea to Java, from Zanzibar to Japan'....

"Marco had left Venice at the age of seventeen, and had been away travelling for twenty-four years. By the time he returned to Venice he was unrecognisable. ... They looked just like Tartars, and they even spoke with an odd accent, having all but forgotten how to speak in the Venetian tongue: In 1295, the Republic of Venice was more than eight centuries old, and the Council of Ten had over the years imposed very precise sumptuary laws prescribing for its citizens appropriate dress for different classes, commending modest attire, decreeing short hair and prohibiting extravagant or colourful clothes except on special occasions. ... The long hair and long beards of the returning Polos, with their weather-beaten skin deeply tanned and wrinkled by long exposure to tropical sun and desert winds, together with their heavy tattered kaftans, which appeared more like carpets than civilised Venetian cloth, must have stood out. ...

Marco Polo leaves Venice
Illustration from the Book of the marvels of the world (The Travels of Marco Polo)

"The Polos were a minor family of the ruling patrician class, and their fluctuating commercial fortunes had driven them eventually to undertake the bold and ambitious trading journey into the unknown Orient. ...

"Upon their arrival back in Venice, however, word soon spread that the Polos had been reduced to rags, that after twenty-four years of trading they had returned with no more than a Tartar slave bearing a trunk containing their few remaining possessions. As a result, the good name of the Polo family, long respected for their business acumen, suffered severe damage. Without a sound reputation, ventures now undertaken by any of the Polos were liable to attract few -- if any -- backers or investors. If such rumours were allowed to spread, the family faced the prospect of ruin.

"In order to restore their good name, soon after their return the Polos decided to throw a banquet, inviting all members of their family and including as many influential people as they knew. When the guests were seated, Marco Polo, together with his father Niccolo and uncle Maffeo, appeared before the company dressed in flowing robes of the finest silk.

"They then proceeded to remove these garments and began tearing them into strips, distributing the colourful tatters amongst the servants, before retiring and returning in yet more fine robes, this time made of red velvet. In the midst of the meal the Polos rose once more and began tearing their expensive robes into strips, again distributing these amongst the servants. They then retired and returned once more clad in the finest robes; at the end of the meal, these too were torn to shreds and given away. By now, all understood: the Polos could hardly be poor if they could afford such extravagant gestures. But Marco, Niccolo and Maffeo had one more sensational demonstration, which was to be the finale of their performance. They returned clad in the ragged Mongol attire they had worn on their return to Venice. Ramusio describes how the three of them produced knives and began cutting through the inner seams of their thick garments, 'causing a cascade of precious gems to spill out. These rubies, sapphires, carbuncles, diamonds and emeralds had all been concealed within the garments in such a cunning fashion that no one could have guessed what they contained. ...

"However, as we now know with the benefit of hindsight, the three Polos were indeed enacting something of an oriental charade -- for they were withholding a disastrous secret. They may have returned with a stock of precious gems, but they had in fact been robbed of the major fortune they had made in the course of their twenty-four years of trading. ...

"Towards the end of their voyage home they had arrived at the empire of Trebizond, ... nominally a Christian ally of Venice, but its very remoteness, some 500 miles east of Constantinople, meant that it was to all intents and purposes a law unto itself. When the Polos had arrived here, instead of receiving a welcome from their fellow Europeans, they had watched powerless as their trunks of gold had been confiscated by corrupt local authorities. The sum of their losses would seem to have represented a considerable fortune, and might even have been enough to elevate the Polos to a place amongst the richer noble families of Venice, had they retained it."

Delsol wins top logistics industry award

    Delsol wins top logistics industry award

    A leading North Wales logistics company has won a prestigious industry award.

    Delivery Solutions (Delsol) has scooped The Pallet Network’s Regional Business Development Award for the West.

    TPN Regional Business Awards

    Announcing the winners, TPN said: “These awards recognise those members who have continuously striven to develop their businesses across all areas including growth, performance and processes while driving up service standards.”

    Tony Parry, Co-Founder and Chairman of Delsol, said: “This success could not come at a better time.

    “Our team has been working flat out during the Coronavirus crisis helping to ensure vital supplies get through to the frontline.

    “Among all the terrible news about the devastation caused by the virus, receiving this prestigious award provides everyone who works at Delsol with some good news.

    “It is also recognition of the ongoing investment we make as a company into recruiting and training the best people, enhancing the quality of our fleet and integrating the latest industry technology. We are also passionate about looking after every one of our customers, small or large.”

    Earlier this year, Delsol bought Caernarfon-based haulier HF Owen Transport and Storage.

    It means that Delsol, which has its own depots in Caernarfon and Sandycroft, now has a fleet of more than 120 vehicles.

    The company, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, offers parcel delivery, haulage, storage, pallet distribution, air and sea freight and transport of hazardous chemicals.

    The company increased revenues by 20% in 2019, with the number of deliveries rising from 1500 to 1650 a day alongside the expansion of its dedicated storage facility to 120,000 sq. ft. and the introduction of a new warehouse management system.

    The company also achieved the prestigious British Retail Consortium (BRC) Certification for Storage and Distribution.

CINCINNATI KID, THE (director: Norman Jewison; screenwriters: from the novel by Richard Jessup/Ring Lardner, Jr./Terry Southern; cinematographer: Philip H. Lathrop; editor: Hal Ashby; music: Lalo Schifrin; cast: Steve McQueen (The Cincinnati Kid), Edward G. Robinson (Lancey Howard), Ann-Margret (Melba), Karl Malden (Shooter), Tuesday Weld (Christian), Joan Blondell (Lady Fingers), Rip Torn (William Jefferson Slade), Jack Weston (Pig), Cab Calloway (Yeller), Jeff Corey (Hoban), Karl Swenson (Mr. Rudd); Runtime: 113; MPAA Rating: PG-13; producers: John Calley/Martin Ransohoff; MGM; 1965)
It’s the Hustler, with Steve McQueen playing stud poker instead of Paul Newman shooting pool.

Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz

It’s the Hustler, with Steve McQueen playing stud poker instead of Paul Newman shooting pool. Norman Jewison (“In The Heat Of The Night”/”Jesus Christ Superstar”/”Fiddler on the Roof”) directs it as a strong character study and writers Ring Lardner, Jr. and Terry Southern keep it lighweight tight as they adapt it fromRichard Jessup’s novel about an ambitious up-and-coming young card shark, the Cincinnati Kid (Steve McQueen), in the New Orleans of the late 1930s. Jewison took over for Sam Peckinpah when he was fired by producer Martin Ransohoff for creative differences (a firing that prevented him from working in Hollywood for a number of years, as he got labeled as a troublemaker). Iin all probability, the fired director would have made a stronger film.

The Kid is tired of small-time hustle games and challenges Lancey Howard (Edward G. Robinson), the reigning poker champ, who is in New Orleans for a private game with a wealthy local businessman. After taking the chump’s money, the Kid’s honest dealer friend Shooter (Karl Malden), arranges a game with the Man. It all leads up to the big game between the brash underdog challenger and the aging, ruthless champ.

Local businessman Slade (Rip Torn) wants revenge after being badly beaten by Lancey, so he forces Shooter, who is in deep debt to him, to slip some winning cards to The Kid. Once the Kid realizes what’s going down he asks for Lady Fingers (Joan Blondell) to deal, as he’s determined to win in an honest game.

There’s also a romance story thrown in, as the Kid when not playing cards is torn between the love for a “good” woman, his girlfriend Christian (Tuesday Weld), and his lust for Melba (Ann-Margret), a sexy “bad” one, the wife of Shooter (Karl Malden).

A Hauntingly Witchy Table!!

It is Halloween Eve and time for a new table. I had alot of fun putting this one together. The cauldron is brewing up a delicious potion so let's have a seat!! Ms. Witch seems to have lost her shoes! And they are such pretty shoes too! I started with a black and white checked tablecloth, a white charger, then a stack of black, orange and white dishes.
 2 napkins are gathered together in this fun napkin ring.
 A lacy pumpkin matches the skirt on Ms. witch.
 Black goblets hold your poison:)

 Let's light the candles! Ms. Witch deserves a feather boa, don't you think? It is wound around the table

 A lacy witch"s shoe holds the flatware

 and a bottle brush tree adds some fun to the table.
 Candles stand on a dessert bowl, turned upside down with a black striped pumpkin under it.
 S and P are gathered in a mini wagon.
 The plates here are part of a set with each one picturing something different.

 Mini corn kernals fill the bottom of the hurricane candle holder.
 And Ms. witch presides over all.
 With her bag of goodies!

 This little one is witch in training:)
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a HAUNTINGLY good Halloween and enjoy some goodies too!!!!

~~Fall Home Tour~~

I have shared alot of Fall with you so thought I would wrap it up into one package:) Here is a tour of my home decorated for Fall! We'll start here at the front door. I made this wreath last year but still like it.
 Next to the door I have an urn filled with caladium, coleus and now a cabbage, gourds and pumpkin.

 The front entrance, mums, pumpkins and lanterns.
 New mailbox swag

Back patio dressed for fall!

 Now we are in the foyer. I always have my blue and white jars on the steps and add seasonal decorations next to them.
 I placed fall candle rings around the candles and added some pumpkins too.

 The living room, I love, love the combo of blue and white with russet.

 This is the breakfast room. Joe made me this hutch many years ago now.

 The dining room

 Fall bedding in the master.

 And fall pillows in the master seating area.

 And finally, my bedside table.
I hope you have enjoyed the tour. I just realized I have never shown you the kitchen!!? I will make that another post. I hope you all had a great weekend.

Delicious Egg Casserole and MORE!

The other day I shared with you a breakfast that I had for several friends. I have gotten many e-mails asking me to share the recipes. So, here they are!
Egg Casserole:
Butter 6 pieces of bread and cut into cubes. (I used a multi grain bread as a denser bread seems to work best).
Grease a 9x12 pan and spread bread cubes in the pan.Grate 1/2 lb. of sharp cheddar cheese (or one bag) and cook 1/2 pound of bacon.Spread cheese over bread then crumble bacon over the cheese.Beat 6 eggs in 3 cups milk(I use skim) add S and P to taste. Pour over mixture. Refrigerate overnight. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30-35 mins. ENJOY!!!!

French Toast Casserole:
1 loaf (1 pound) French bread (I used whole wheat) cut into cubes
8 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups 2%milk
4 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract (I used 2)
3/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbls. butter
3 Tbls. sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Maple syrup (optional)...but not to me:)

Place bread cubes in a greased 9x13 in. baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar,vanilla and salt.Pour over the bread.Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Dot with butter. Combine sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle over the top.
Cover and bake at 350 for 1 hour or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 mins. Serve with warm maple syrup. Yield 12 servings.
I always make these for guests and for Christmas and/or Thanksgiving morning.I always serve them with a fruit salad too. Hope you qwill try these and ENJOY!!!!!I am partying here:

USSD Hack that Reset Samsung Touchwiz Devices

The web hack is actually a malicious code that is hiding inside a web page and gets triggered when visited using the stock browser (except Google Chrome) of a TouchWiz-based phone. The malicious code then spawns the dialer and enters a bad USSD code with the sole purpose of nuking your device back to its factory default.

Now, if you fell victim to this hack, how you’d probably wish you had iTunes that have your data and media files intact, in this case that you have to restore your phone.

And don’t even get me started with Samsung Kies — one word, UNRELIABLE. In my experience, Samsung Kies did not work half of the time because of drivers not found. This happened to me both in Mac and PC.

A FIDE Master Title for Elite GM’s

William of offered a strong argument why FIDE should introduce an official Super-GM title for 2700+ rated chess players.

In 1972 there were 88 GMs and in 2012 there are now over 1200 GMs! However the vast majority (around 95%) of Grandmasters are rated between 2400 and 2699 FIDE. After the recent Chess Olympiad 2012 in Istanbul, there are now a total of 50 Super-GMs rated over 2700 FIDE.

Read more about Should FIDE have a Super-GM title for 2700+ GMs?

Personally, I’m in favor of his proposal of an official distinct FIDE title awarded to “elite” GM’s in order to separate them from, well, the not-so-elite ones. FIDE may not necessarily use a 2700 ELO rating cut-off, but they could devise certain criteria for eligibility.

However, I advise against the use of the “Super-GM” name. Why? Keep on reading »

Liveblogging with the Liveblog Plugin for WordPress

I thought I’ve missed it when I was scrounging for a liveblog plugin when the Istanbul 2012 World Chess Olympiad was about to start.

It appears I didn’t, because Automattic’s Liveblog plugin was released sometime last weekend only. Check out this video that explains what this plugin is all about:

This Liveblog plugin could be a great blog extension if you’re covering live events, or just simply want to post one sentence updates to an event like the Chess Olympiad (which is a 2-week event).

Running Fritz 12 on a Mac via Crossover

Fritz 12 is a great chess product that unfortunately has no Mac version. I’ve installed it on a Bootcamp partition, and it works great. But I hate rebooting to Windows everytime I need it. Besides, all my files are in the OS X partition.

I also tried running Fritz 12 in a Parallels Desktop. It works fine as well, but then I have to boot Windows on top of OS X, which in the process they’re sharing the same computer’s resources, which proves to be an inefficient environment to run a resource hungry application like Fritz 12. I was only able to assign 3GB of RAM out of the total installed 8GB, and the application can only utilize 1 CPU out of the total 4.

So what about Codeweaver’s Crossover? Well, this is how it looks like: Check out the screenshot after the jump »

Taapsee stepped out wearing Leal Daccarett at the HT awards. Big hair, nude lip and jewelry from Outhouse, Her Story and Anaqa rounded out the look. As per her stylist (Devki Bhatt), she was channeling Diana Ross… We got some strong Kanagana Ranaut feels too. Regardless, she sure worked every bit of that look!

Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses. If he is your Christian neighbor, he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ vere latitat [“is truly hidden”]—the glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden. [From “The Weight of Glory” by C.S. Lewis]

deerI found an odd synchronicity in my morning’s reading. The verse for the day was Matthew 7:12, the Golden Rule: “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.” Following that was a story by Christian author and speaker Lysa Terkeurst. She wrote about speaking to a group when a woman walked up on stage, stood next to her, and then leaned into her. Standing before an audience of 6,500 women, unsure of what to do, the author simply put her arm around the woman and continued speaking. The woman later said she needed God and thought if she got close enough to the Christian speaker, she just might feel Him. The third portion of my reading included the above selection from C.S. Lewis’ writings.

Lewis’ words caused me to pause and reflect. We revere the bread and wine when partaking in Holy Communion but do we revere our fellow Christians that much, not just when sharing the elements but whenever we share time with them? The Communion of Saints is not just that sacrament of bread and wine so fundamental to our Christian worship; it is our fellowship with all believers—past, present and future.

When we abide in Christ, His Holy Spirit abides in us and God takes up permanent residence in our bodies. While I know the Holy Spirit lives within me, I hadn’t considered His presence in the person next to me at church or Bible study. When I do to others, do I realize that I am doing so to Christ? When I speak with them, do I speak as I would to Christ? That woman who came and stood next to Lysa Terkeurst recognized Christ within her. Do I recognize Christ in others and draw close to them so to be nearer to Jesus? Do I value fellowship with Christians as much as I do Holy Communion? Do I honor and revere my church family much as I do those holy elements of bread and wine? Do I cherish time with my neighbor as I would with Christ? Do I truly understand that we are united with one another, not just by church membership or our common beliefs and goals, but by the same Spirit that lives within each of us? When I look at the faces of fellow believers, do I see the face of Jesus? More important, when they look at me, who do they see? Would anyone lean into me to come closer to the Lord?

I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. [John 17:20-23 (NLT)]

About Fred Bennett

Fred Bennett launched almost a decade ago in 2004 to fill the void for a contemporary British Heritage men’s jewellery brand. Over the years, we have won many awards and accolades for quality and innovation in jewellery design –Jewellery Brand of the Year was a particular milestone.

The first collection was exclusive to weighty, solid silver jewellery comprising of bold necklets, dog tags, ID bracelets and cufflinks. It was a range well received, and the brand continued to evolve through the introduction of a capsule collection featuring stainless steel jewellery, to complement the existing silver designs.

The success of the brand is largely due to the diversity of the product range – today the collections are refreshed at least twice a year, and offer a variety of men’s jewellery and accessories not only in sterling silver and stainless steel, but leather too – which is now the bestselling style in the wristwear range.

About the range

Fred Bennett men’s jewellery is designed in house by our team of award-winning designers.  Ideally located in the heart of London’s highly influential fashion scene, they have the upper hand when it comes to responding to trends from all areas of design.

Designs are put into production using an innovative mix of the latest modern technology from CAD prototyping and the traditional lost wax techniques used to create enviable intricacy seen in many of the Fred Bennett jewellery designs.

Each piece is then crafted from a hand-picked selection of materials. Distinguished leather is plaited, twisted and weaved (in shades of liquorice blacks, burnt reds, earthy browns) and paired with a choice of silver or stainless steel. For something a little more special, Fred Bennett offers stone set men’s jewellery and accessories, whether it be cufflinks featuring SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS or pendants inlayed with black agate, there is something to suit all.

Silver and stainless steel are the key metals used in the Fred Bennett collection, merged with leather, adorned with stones, or simply as a statement itself in a metal only classic jewellery design.

Carter seeks

budget cuts

Inflation plan to create surplus

From AP and UPI
WASHINGTON-President Carter
announced yesterday he plans to battle
inflation by creating the largest federal
budget surplus in more than 30 years,
limiting consumer credit and raising
gasoline prices by 10 cents a gallon.
Carter invoked an existing unused
authority to impose a $4.62 fee on each
barrel of imported oil. The fee will
result in a 10-cent-per-gallon increase
in gasoline prices, effective May 15.

In an unprecedented action, he
announced what amounts to a complete
revision of the $616 billion budget for
fiscal 1981 he submitted to Congress
just six weeks ago.
In a White House speech, Carter said
the inflation rate, which was 18 per cent
in January on an annual basis, is a
"dangerous situation that calls for
urgent measures." The 1979 inflation
rate was more thin 13 per cent.

STATE REP. PERRY BULLARD (D-Ann Arbor) speaks to spectators about the draft in a Diag rally yesterday
afternoon. Bullard's speech was one of many given during the day-long teach-in.
U.S.S.R., registration key
Sics o peace teac -1n

Hundreds of students and faculty members took time
out from the regular routine of classes yesterday to
participate in the first day of a three-day-long, campus-wide
* teach-inon peace and politics in the 1980's.
Numerous activities and lectures, sponsored by an
assemblage of campus organizations called the Coalition
Against War, were held throughout the day and lasted late
,into the night.
The event is aimed at raising campus-wide inquiry into
the implications of recent events in Iran and Afghanistan,
U.S. foreign policy, and the current status of U.S.-Soviet
relations, according to spokepersons for the coalition.
AT NOON A CROWD of more than 250 persons turned out
on the Diag to express their sentiments either against or, for
a minority of those attending, in favor of proposed draft
registration. Many of those present said they were
participating in the one-day class boycottcalled for by the
anti-war coalition.
"One of my teachers cancelled class today because she
felt that learning about war was more important than
learning about Shakespeare, at least for the day," said LSA
junior Rob MacKenzie.

"I think everyone should learn," said LSA freshwoman
Caroline Goodman of the teach-in, "so they don't make
ignorant decisions."
Jim Bristol, a conscientious objector jailed during WWII,
told the crowd that it was "phony to insist that it will be
registration only" and said that there has "never been
registration in this country without the draft."
HE ADDED THAT "some things are not worth dying for,
like the Pax Americana and oil, and draft registration is a
giant step in that direction."
Members of the Collegiate Association for the Research of
Principles, an organization affiliated with the Unification
Church that supports draft registration, were the targets of
cat-calls and a few snowballs. One observer was prompted to
comment that the actions aimed against the pro-draft group
were "ironic, seeing that they are coming from so-called
passive resisters."
Howard Simon, president of the Michigan chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), told a small group
in the Kuenzel Room of the Union early in the day that
President Carter's call for draft registration was "the most
dastardly and deceitful act committed"

WASHINGTON - The Federal
Reserve Board moved yesterday to
discourage bank lending by setting, for
the first time in-history, a surcharge on
its key interest rate.
The board also announced a series of
measures intended to make less credit
available to consumers and businesses
as part of the Carter administration's
new anti-inflation attack.
THE ACTION by the Federal
Reserve on its key interest rate will, in
essence, create a two-tier discount rate.
The discount rate is the interest
commercial banks pay on loans from
Federal Reserve banks.
The basic rate will remain at the 13
per cent effective since Feb. 15.
But the nation's 270 largest banks will
have to pay a penalty, or surcharge, of 3
additional percentage points if they
borrow from the Federal Reserve

Several of the Federal Reserve
actions were taken under the Credit
Control Act of 1969, which gives the
president authority to declare that
controls are needed because of
inflationary problems. It was only the
fourth time in the nation's history that
such credit controls were invoked.
In order to tighten credit, the Federal
Reserve took a number of actions
requiring banks to keep greater
reserves of cash on hand.
Tightening credit has an indirect
effect on inflation. As loan money gets
scarce and. expensive, people and
businesses slow down their borrowing.

Government officials said the new
package would have no immediate
impact on inflation.
Consumer price increases would
remain high for the next few months, at
least, the officials said.
Carter proposed cuts of $13 billion to
$14 billion in 1981 spending. Revenues
would total between $624 billion and
$625 billion.
Instead of the $15.8 billion deficit
proposed originally, the new. budget
will show a surplus of between $10
billion and $12 billion, administration
officials said.
The federal government has not had a
budget surplus of that amount since

Polish airliner crashes, kills all 87 aboard;
passengers included 14 U.S. amateur boxers

From AP and UPI
WARSAW, Poland-A Polish airliner

amateur boxers to fights in Poland

Warsaw's airport yesterday, killing all
S7 persons aboard.
It was the worst foreign air crash

The relationship of traditionalism (knowledge of traditional stories), teachers' evaluations of traits (skill, punctuality, security, leadership, use of English, and personal appearance), social relationships (manner of relating, friends--non-Indian or Indian, who do they talk to about problems, and marital status), and productive activity (amount of time spent in employment, school, and military) to existing attitudes toward reservation living, non-Indian way of life, and a combination of the two attitudes, attitudes toward life, was studied for the Navajo male 1 964 graduates from Intermountain School by using simple correlation and other methods.

Due to the exploratory nature of the study, and the limitation of small sample size (34 males) the findings are at best only suggestive. A typology was developed and applied to the data.

The typology, derived from the graduates' negative and positive attitudes toward life, consisted of Navajos who varied on a continuum. This continuum was arbitrarily broken down to describe Navajos who are bi-cultural, monocultural W (adjusted to white), monocultural N (adjusted to Navajo) and alienated from both cultures. Few significant correlations were found, but possible tendencies were indicated.

Correlations suggested that low evaluations of Navajos' traditionalism, traits, and social relationships with traditional Navajo reference groups may be associated with positive attitudes toward reservation living. Probably due to the differences in approaching the data, the findings of the tabular analysis were contrary to those of the correlations. The tabular analysis suggested that those indi viduals who were bi-cul tural or who were monocul tural W tended to have high evaluations for traits and social relationships, while those individuals who were alienated or who were monocul tural N tended to have low evaluations for traits and social relationships. The majority of graduates were found to have a high evaluation of traditionalism, suggesting the traditionalism can be a hindrance or an aid to adjustment, depending on the individuals' internalized traits and social relationships.

Productive activity may be a measure of how well the Navajo connntmicated with the white world rather than a measure of adjustment.

What is Community Spread and How Does it Relate to COVID-19?

You may have heard the term “community spread” as of late and wondered how it relates to the coronavirus. Community spread simply refers to the spreading of an infections disease in a given group of people.

For example, Coronavirus-2019 is thought to have started in a wildlife and seafood market in the Wuhan Province of China. Such a busy marketplace bustling with people is a prime area for community spread to occur. “Early on, many of the patients at the epicenter of the outbreak in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China had some link to a large seafood and live animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread” (CDC). Many people became infected before anyone even knew there was an infectious virus in the area.

What’s the Difference Between an Epidemic and a Pandemic? And Which is COVID-19?

image of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)Many people are wondering what the differences are between an epidemic and a pandemic. An epidemic is a situation in which a disease is actively spreading in a community. Typically an outbreak is referred to as an epidemic if the disease spreads to a large number of people in a short period of time (two weeks or less).

By contrast, a pandemic describes a disease that spreads across a great distances, either over numerous towns and cities or even countries and continents. An example of a pandemic is the 1918 Spanish Flu that spread across the world.

As of March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Many countries around the world now have mandated quarantines or lock-downs. Several states in the US have closed down restaurants, movie theaters, bars, and other social gathering places for at least two weeks, if not more. It’s important that you follow the guidelines where you live in order to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

How Does COVID-19 Compare to the Flu?

In the US alone, the seasonal flu has caused roughly 34 million infections and 20,000 deaths this season according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). As of June 15, 2020, the novel coronavirus has killed over 430,000 people worldwide. Click here to see how flu symptoms compare to the COVID-19 virus.

The biggest issue with COVID-19 is that we don’t know how far it’ll spread nor how quickly it’ll spread. If too many people are critically ill at the same time, hospitals will be overwhelmed and people will die simply because there aren’t enough beds or respirators.

Some scientists are comparing COVID-19 to the 2009 swine flu pandemic. Swine flu is estimated to have killed between 151,000 and 575,000 people worldwide (CDC), and the new coronavirus could be even deadlier than that. Click here to see if COVID-19 has come to your state.

Furthermore, even though there is a vaccine for the seasonal flu, there is currently no vaccine for COVID-19. The bottom line is that the new coronavirus could be less deadly than the flu — but it could also be much, much worse. We simply don’t have enough information at the moment, so take precautions to prevent infection!

How Does COVID-19 Compare to Other Modern Epidemics and Pandemics?

COVID-19 is a different sort of virus in that it’s novel — that is, we haven’t seen it before. This makes it much more difficult to treat because doctors and scientists have to start from almost nothing to create a vaccine. It’s possible that other vaccines meant to treat other illnesses may work on the coronavirus, but it’s also possible that they won’t. Here’s how COVID-19 compares to some other modern epidemics and pandemics.

Epidemic/Pandemic NameLocationDeath Toll (approximate)Dates (approximate)Speculated Disease
Coronavirus (COVID-19)Worldwide851,512+ deaths (as of August 31, 2020)2019-presentCoronavirus Disease 2019

SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome)Worldwide772 deaths2002-2004SARS
Zika VirusWorldwide53 deaths2015-2016Zika Virus

What Supplies Do I Need in Case of a Quarantine for COVID-19?

In case there is an emergency quarantine in your area for Coronavirus-2019, it’s important to have all the supplies you need before you need them. We’ve put together a Home Safety Kit Checklist for Coronavirus-2019 to make sure you are properly stocked.

Can I Take Antibiotics if I Get COVID-19?

No. According to the CDC, there is no current cure or treatment for Coronavirus-2019. Furthermore, antibiotics only work against bacteria and not against viruses. They should not be used to treat COVID-19.

Should I Wear a Mask to Protect Against COVID-19?

Earlier in 2020, the CDC didn’t recommend that you wear a mask unless you had symptoms. In April 2020 however, the CDC is now recommending that anyone out in public should wear a mask. Wearing a mask can help to prevent the spread of Coronavirus-2019. Check with your local health officials where you live and follow their instructions.

Can My Pets Get COVID-19?

No. Thus far, there is no evidence that the coronavirus can be spread from domesticated animals to people or vice versa. There were some rumors that a dog in China had died from COVID-19 but this has not been proven and was likely a false story. Still, you should wash your hands with soap and warm water after handling animals. Click here to learn how to avoid getting infected with COVID-19.

Is it Safe to Order Packages From China?

The CDC states that there is no risk of infection from COVID-19 on packages from China (CDC). It should be noted however that coronaviruses can survive on certain surfaces for extended periods of time.

“The analysis of 22 studies reveals that human coronaviruses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus or endemic human coronaviruses (HCoV) can persist on inanimate surfaces like metal, glass or plastic for up to 9 days” (Kampf et al., 2020).

What Should I Do if I Need to Get Tested?

Despite President Trump claiming that anyone who needs a test can get one, that isn’t exactly the case according to key people in his administration: “The health and human services secretary, Alex M. Azar II, cautioned that only those who have gone through a doctor or medical professional can be approved for a test” (Weiland, 2020).

If you think you might have COVID-19, the first thing you should do is call your local health department. Do NOT go to the doctor’s office or the hospital as you could spread the disease to others if you’re positive. From there, your local health officials should be able to direct you to the proper plan of action.

Can Someone Who’s Been Quarantined Spread COVID-19?

The incubation period for Coronavirus-2019 is thought to be 2-14 days. The point of a quarantine is to ensure that a person or group of persons does not have the infection. After the 14-day quarantine is over, the person is not considered to be a risk for spreading the virus.

“Someone who has been released from COVID-19 quarantine is not considered a risk for spreading the virus to others because they have not developed illness during the incubation period” (CDC).

Should I Travel Right Now?

Probably not. Many countries have shut down borders and have urged people to stay home for non-essential travel. Traveling during the COVID-19 outbreak can be risky, especially if you’re elderly or have underlying health conditions. For any non-essential travel, it might be a good idea to postpone that family vacation or trip to the beach. Be sure to keep up with current travel precautions.

Will Warm Weather Stop COVID-19?

No one knows for sure. Other infectious diseases like colds and the flu tend to spread more during the winter months although that doesn’t mean it can’t be spread other times of the year. The CDC is continuing studies into how differing temperatures may affect Coronavirus-2019.

What About Alternative COVID-19 Treatments?

There are some blogs and websites that purport the use of alternative treatments for the coronavirus. The FDA is taking hard steps to prevent the spread of fraudulent COVID-19 treatments. Thus far, the CDC does not condone any of these alternative treatments:

  • Do not spray alcohol on yourself or drink large amounts of alcohol. This will not prevent you from getting infected with COVID-19. If you aren’t convinced, read the article “44 people killed from alcohol poisoning in Iran trying to ward off coronavirus.”
  • Do not spread sesame oil on your skin. While it might make your skin nice and soft, it isn’t going to protect you from the coronavirus.
  • Eating a lot of garlic isn’t going to stop you from getting infected. While it’s true that garlic has antibacterial and antifungal properties, simply eating tons of garlic isn’t going to stop you from getting infected.
  • Do not use bleach wipes on your skin. Bleach wipes are meant for hard surfaces and are not meant to go on your skin. Using them in this way can cause skin irritation and rashes.
  • Do not drink Miracle Mineral Solution. Miracle or master mineral solution is sodium chlorite and is meant to be a cleaning solution. Drinking this product is akin to drinking bleach.

How To Make An Origami Fortune Teller (A Kid's Activity)

When I was younger, I remember how my mother brought the entire children encyclopedia for me so that I could gain knowledge about space and do certain activities. I remember stumbling upon a book that said making things. I went through the book and came across a way to make a fortune teller. I was fascinated by the fact that I was able to make it and when I showed it to my friends; they thought that it was cool and strange. I decided to make this hub so that parents are able to share this experience with their kids and to make it into a fun family activity that could leave your kid in awe and amazement.

Supplies needed:

A piece of construction paper

A pen or pencil

Step One: Make a square piece of paper. Start by, folding one corner of a piece of paper over to the adjacent side.

Step Two: You finish making the square by cutting off the small rectangle, forming a square, which was already folded into a triangle.

Step Three: Fold two opposite endsof the triangle together to form a smaller triangle

Step Four: Open the paper up

Step Five: Fold the corners into the central point of the square. Continue to do this with the other three corners. You should have a square.

Step Six: Flip the paper over. Fold a corner to the center. Continue to do this with the remaining three corners. You should have a smaller square.

Step Seven: Fold the square in half. Unfold and fold in half the other way

Step Eight: Unfold and pull the four ends together, making a diamond like shape. Pick up each of the four square flaps and put your fingers inside. You will be able to move the four parts around.

Step Nine: write any four colors on the four flaps and flip it over and write 8 numbers on the triangular flaps.

Step Ten: Write 8 fortunes inside of the flap such as yes, no, maybe, try again, you will be rich, you will have a good day today, etc.

Step Eleven: Have someone choose one of the four colors. Spell that color out, while moving the fortune teller in and out. Then have the person choose a number and move the fortune teller in and out; the number of times of whatever number was chosen. Then have the person choose one of the visible numbers, open the flap and read their fortune.

Overall, I hope that this hub has helped in reliving any childhood memories that you might have in making fortune tellers or even just participating in crafts. I feel that building a fortune teller with your child can help them to express themselves creatively and to build their self-esteem about being able to accomplish more things in the future. This could help your child to want to write more, read more, participate in sports, etc. all because you helped give them the confidence and ability to create what they want and what they liked.

@Lipnancy you are right. Origami and fortune tellers in particular are quite unique

torrilynn (author) on March 11, 2013:

@Entourage_007 thanks for your comment and I love origami as well. i remember how we use to make all sorts of different things in art class using origami.

Stuart from Santa Barbara, CA on March 11, 2013:

Great hub, I remember how much I loved origami when I was in day care. My favorite thing to do was make a little bird. You tempt me to start looking for origami books so I can show my niece some cool origami figures.

Nancy Yager from Hamburg, New York on March 11, 2013:

I remember making these when we were kids. They were so much fun.

torrilynn (author) on March 10, 2013:

@BlossomSB I'm glad that you liked my hub and I find it great that you made these also

Bronwen Scott-Branagan from Victoria, Australia on March 10, 2013:

We used to make these, too, but they were usually plain without the decorations. We wrote all sorts of things inside, like answers to the question: "How many children are you going to have?" "What is your favourite colour?" You have set out the instructions very clearly.

torrilynn (author) on March 10, 2013:

@moonlake Im glad you enjoyed my hub and that you decided to share this with others.

moonlake from America on March 10, 2013:

We use to love to do this when we were kids, not as bright and colorful and not so many steps as yours. We made ours on our school paper. I would carry them in my pockets and when with friends we were always asking it questions. Enjoyed your hub and vote up and shared.

torrilynn (author) on March 09, 2013:

@billybuc thanks I'm glad you liked my idea for a fun child activity and I hope you are able to put it to good use.

Bill Holland from Olympia, WA on March 09, 2013:

Very clever my friend. I have never seen one, so you have provided me with a new experience. For that I am grateful. :) If I ever have grandkids I'll pull this out of the file.

Mumps - A contagious childhood virus that could have serious consequences to starting a family.

Really can't come out to play

Mumps (parotitis) was a childhood contagious viral infection (Paramyxovirus) common in the late 1950/60s which is now fairly well controlled by the MMR vaccination programme in 1988. It still occurs in many third world countries and spasmodically in the western world.

It’s easily recognisable by the painful swellings located at the side of the face under the ears (the parotid glands), giving a person with mumps a distinctive (and to children humorous) "hamster face" appearance. Other symptoms include headache, joint pain and a high temperature.

It is a highly contagious virus affecting, as we said, the salivary glands, but occasionally the testicles. In young men it can cause infertility and cases should be referred immediately to a doctor. Normally it causes fever and painful swelling in the neck and there is no specific treatment other than pain killers and isolation.

A person is most contagious one to two days before the onset of symptoms, and for a further five days afterwards. Once you have been infected by mumps, you normally develop a life-long immunity to further infection, but in my case I caught a more mild form a few years later.

The only treatment is painkillers but I do remember my mother used to boil up tins of grey evil smelling Kaolin which was applied scalding hot onto a bandage and applied around my neck. I never knew if this had any therapeutic effect but it was a common treatment and offered some comfort as a hot poultice.

Steam inhalation of essential oils through an inexpensive inhaler can offer relief when fever is present with Ravensara and Manuka being the most powerful. Use as often as you feel relief.

Other anti-viral such as Eucalyptus, niaouli (or Ti-tree) Sweet Thyme, Lavender and Bergamot can be used in a fan or burner which may prevent the spread of the virus to the rest of the family and offer a calming effect.

Massage of the neck using Ravensara and/or Manuka together with Lavender blended into Sweet almond oil can offer some relief if fever is not present. You may wish to use Sesame Seed oil instead as it washes out of clothes and sheets more easily.

One of the complications of Mumps can be viral meningitis which can occur if the mumps virus spreads into the outer protective layer of the brain, known as the meninges. It’s fairly rare but does occur in one in seven cases of mumps. Unlike bacterial meningitis, which is potentially life-threatening, viral meningitis causes much milder, flu-like symptoms, and the risk of further serious complications are low. Sensitivity to light and vomiting can occur with viral meningitis, but the symptoms usually pass within 14 days.

Swollen testicle - Pain and swelling of the testicles (orchitis), will affect one in five of all males who get mumps after puberty. Treatment is by a cold compress and painkillers. One in ten males may experience a drop in their sperm count, but despite popular myth it is rarely enough to cause infertility.

Swelling of the ovaries - One in twenty females who gets mumps after puberty will experience swelling of the ovaries (Oophoritis), which can cause lower abdominal pain, high temperature and being sick. These symptoms usually pass once the body has recovered from the underlying mumps infection.

Pancreatitis - One in twenty cases of mumps can result in pancreatitis. The most common symptom is a sudden pain in the centre of your upper abdomen and can include nausea, diarrhoea, jaundice, loss of appetite and an increase in temperature.

Encephalitis - This is a rare but potentially serious complication of mumps which causes an infection of the brain itself. It occurs in around 1 in 1,000 cases and needs admission to an intensive care unit.

Permanent hearing loss - This, mercifully, is a very rare complication of mumps affecting around 1 in 20,000 cases and unfortunately there is currently no cure.

Colloidal silver - This is a natural antibiotic used in the treatment of mumps and has no side effects. This can be boosted with Olive leaf extract.

As we said it is not common in the Western world these days but with world-wide travel and increased immigration it is possible to catch with potentially serious consequences.

Best Tuna Fishing Lures

Successful Albacore Fishing

Caught Trolling & Jigging

Caught Trolling & Jigging

Most Popular

  1. Clones
  2. Diving Plugs
  3. Cedar Plugs
  4. Iron Jigs
  5. Live Bait

Lure for Tuna Fishing

There are plenty of tuna fishing lures to choose from. The next time you are at the local tackle store by the coast take a look down the aisles for a few of these basic tools of the trade.

Every boat heading offshore in pursuit of fast swimming pelagic fish should have a few of each of these styles of baits as they can imitate most of the forage fish and can catch many different species. The most popular for trolling tend to be Rapala X Rap minnow divers, cedar plugs, and squid like lures called clones. But, when the boat is stopped and active fish are around casting lead head jigs with swim baits and dropping irons / butterfly jigs is very effective at hooking into large numbers of fish.

Albacore tuna fishing is a unique West coast fishery. The fish swim along the warms currents of the Eastern Pacific that touch the shores of the US during the summer months. This popular fish of anglers in California, Oregon, and Washington can be caught with a variety of saltwater lures. Albacore can often be found as close as 15 - 45 miles offshore in warmer water areas along various ocean breaks, targeting these fish require boats capable of making long distance runs to the fishing grounds. It often is no easy task in locating and then catching them and can take significant effort before ever getting a bite, so having the right spread of tuna catching lures is critical to having a great day versus coming home with nothing.

Rapala X-Raps Catch TUNA!

Trolling for Tuna Fish

Trolling lures behind the boat for tuna such as Albacore or Yellow Tail is an awesome way to catch these fish. The troll speed for this type of fishing is much faster than a traditional trolling speed that anglers use in freshwater so make sure you are using lures that can handle it.

A lure that is trolled behind the boat needs to be able to run smoothly at relatively quick speeds and most Tuna skippers will set out a large spread of lures utilizing anywhere from 6 to 12 rods and outrigger equipment, so matching lures together is very important. Some lures run best when tolling at slower speeds and some at faster speeds while others can be fished at any speed and still catch fish. Tuna are often swimming along deep under the surface, however will rise quickly to feed on bait in the surface, which is what anglers trolling lures are trying to imitate. With the wash of the boat prop and a large spread of tuna catching baits, the goal is to imitate an entire ball of bait fish that are getting attacked and ripe for the pickings by a school of hungry fish.

Popular Albacore Tuna Trolling Lures

  • Cedar Plugs - Simple, yet deadly effective. The cedar plug comes in many colors including a natural wood color. Popular colors tend to be white with red head and purple. The bait floats and swishes around and dives a little and rises to the surface providing the right action that a induces a strike.
  • Diving Minnows - The most popular diving minnow tends to be the Rapala X Rap in either a size 20 or 30. These are trolled at a slightly slower speed then cedar plugs and clones and they dive deep behind the boat and have excellent vibrating action. When the fish are on an X Rap bite, that can be the only thing that they want to eat.
  • Clones - The are a squid looking lure that has a large hook inside and skips along the surface. These lures work great when coupled with an outrigger. The clones being soft plastic come in hundreds of colors.

Catching Tuna on the Troll

Albacore at the Fish Market

Casting for Tuna

After catching a fish on the troll, you have located a group of willing fish, so many anglers like to drop chum in the water such as IQF Anchovies, cut herring, or cut squid, to feed the school of fish and keep them around the boat. At the same time, if live bait is aboard dropping a live swimming herring is amazing, however live bait can be difficult to buy at many marina's so using baits that can be tossed towards jumping fish such as swim baits or iron jigs is the preferred method. Drop the lure and let it drop 100 feet or so and start reeling and jigging it back as fast you can to the boat and repeat until a fish is caught. Sometimes only going down 50 feet is better depending on how close the school of fish are to the boat. There is nothing like having the lure stop mid drop when you are sitting in 1500 feet of water, you did not hit the bottom, a fish has eaten the lure, click the reel over and have fun.

One thing many experienced albacore anglers will do is keep one hooked fish in the water until another fish has been hooked, this tends to help keep the fish around as one of there buddies is running around the boat they think there is still bait nearby and will hang around and take a swipe at one of your other offerings. Swim baits such as the ones made by Big Hammer are excellent choices to cast at active fish, a proven technique while on the troll is to set out one or two rods with swimbaits, but place them 150+ feet behind the boat, even when fighting a fish leave those lures in the water and as they sink with the boat slowing and drifting tend to be too much to handle for a hungry tuna and can quickly turn a single fish into a double or triple for the boat.

I've always wanted to catch a Marlin. I'm sure my arms would wear out before I landed it, though!

CZCZCZ (author) from Oregon on October 04, 2012:

It is certainly a fun experience. Hope you get to go and chase the long fins or other giant TUNA's someday.

Ann1Az2 from Orange, Texas on October 04, 2012:

I've always wanted to fish for tuna and other big fish - one day, I'll get to do it!

Great hub and videos.

Voted up.

Maddie Ruud from Oakland, CA on September 13, 2012:

I've never been fishing, so it was really interesting to read (and watch) more specifically how it's done.

GH Price from North Florida on September 12, 2012:

This looks a whole lot nicer than the practically fermented chicken livers we used to use to catch catfish. Great Hub. I learned a thing or two! :)
