This is a reprint of the Bawnboy Workhouse article by the late Rev Patrick F. Brady originally published in 1979 in the booklet 'Templeport, Souvenir of the Dedication of St Mogue's Church' with permission from his sister Theresa McKiernan .
Thousands of Irish people were destitute in the first quarter of the 19th century. This was due to the economic and agricultural depression of the 1820s and 1830s and the number of starving poor was increasing. To meet this situation there was Government machinery. Ireland had no poor law as in Britain. The hospitals. alms houses orphanages that did exist were supported from private funds. The Government felt that the welfare of the destitute was not the states function. As one Liberal stated 'if a man wants to starve he should be free to do so'.
The measures of relief forced on the state the by humanitarian interests ware given reluctantly and always with a sharp eye on economy. In 1832 Lord Grey the Whig Prime Minister set up a committee to examine the situation and advise him. There were two ways of helping the poor: First by outdoor relief giving them sufficient to live on in their homes and secondly indoor relief bringing them into an establishment and supporting them.
The members of the 1832 committee suggested an elaborate scheme based on outdoor relief. . A voluntary committee was set up in each parish which would levy a rate on the parish. More funds would come from a stiff tax on absentee landlords. The committee would use it funds to support public works, road making, drainage and land development. Moreover it would assist people to emigrate. It would help people to live in their homes and a also develop the country. The Whigs felt this would be too expensive and an Englishman George Nicholl was sent to see if something could be done with less expense to the ratepayers and absentee landlords. The result was the Poor Law of Ireland Act of 1838.
Imitating the Poor Law of England enacted earlier it was based on indoor relief. According to the plan Ireland was to be divided into 120 Unions (i.e. unions of parishes). A central site would be chosen in each union where a workhouse would be built. Each Union was to be governed by a board of guardians, some nominated by the Grand Jury and the rest by the ratepayers. The Guardians would levy a rate on the Union and use the proceeds to support the workhouse. Discipline in the home was to be strict and the diet was to be limited. In this way it was hoped that nobody would seek admission to the workhouse except a really destitute person.
The Poor Act was met with opposition all over Ireland.
Daniel O'Connell opposed it vehemently. But in spite of opposition it was put into operation fairly smoothly. Unions had already been established in Cavan, Mohill, Bailieboro and Cootehill and in 1850 Bawnbov was set up covering Templeport. Kildallan, Newtowngore, the two Drumreillys, Ballinamore,. Swanlinbar and part of Glangevlin.
The Anglo-Celt records a meeting on 17 Feb. 1851, Moses Netterfield in the chair. Also present wore James Benison. J.P, John Johnstone, J.P. John Brady. John King, Nathaniel Maguire. Thomas Veitch, Dennis Kiernan, Michael Creamer, David Finlay. Colonel Clark of the Poor Law commissioners was in attendance and announced that he had been sent to select and lay out a site for the workhouse. . Captain Johnstone, agent for D, Rochford, the landlord of the area offered a site of 8 Irish acres. The price would be £200 with a ground rent of £1:6:3 per acre per year for 20 years. i.e. £210 over a 20 year period. Captain Johnstone later appealed to the Poor Law Commissioners in Dublin and was awarded £1:10:0 per acre per year. .
A letter from the Poor Law Commissioners in Dublin dated 14th June 1851 informs the Bawnboy Board of Guardians that the tender of Mr James Creden, Enniskillen, had been accepted for the building of the workhouse, his tender of £4,800 being the lowest of the proposals received. He was to lodge £500 with the board as security and complete the building within 18 months of the signing of the contract. Another letter at this time states that Mr Robert Spence has been appointed as clerk of works to superintend the erection of the building at a salary of 2gns per week from the date of his arrival on the site. The rate for the Union at this time was 10d in the pound. At this period destitute people from the area were housed in Mohill, Cavan, and Enniskillen and it is from the minutes of the Cavan Board of Guardians that we get the next item of information. At a meeting of the Cavan Board it is stated that Mr Benison of Bawnboy would come on 30th November 1853 and bring 52 inmates to the new workhouse. Thom's Directory of 1854 gives the date of the opening of Bawnboy workhouse as 24th November 1853 with Mr John Carson as Master. Jane Brownlow as Matron. Winslow Finlay, Medical Officer and Ralph Montgomery, Clerk. It wag capable of housing, 550 people. At no time in its history did it house even half that number so that as happens with ether bodies the Poor Law Commissioners were more conscious of a plan than of the needs of the area.
It is almost impossible to get information about the workhouse during the 1850s and 1860s. The minute books for that period of the Bawnboy Union have disappeared. The 1869 book is intact, then there is a further break until 1879. Coverage by the Anglo-Celt is also poor until the turn century and then it becomes a valuable source, covering all meetings.
From the practice of other Unions we know that inmates in Bawnboy were subjected to severe discipline. They were not allowed to leave the building nor permitted to talk to passers-by. Punishment consisted of a period in the lock-up - a form of imprisonment. If they absconded and were caught they spent a long period behind closed doors. If an inmate again broke bounds he was expelled but not before handing over all clothes given to him by the Union. The fact that he might die of exposure was not taken into account. Children were privileged, being allowed or rather ordered to go outside the walls for a walk three times per week accompanied by a teacher. Within the building, however, there was strict segregation of boys from girls even of the same family. They had separate schoolrooms and living quarters. In many of the Unions there were complaints about low standards in teaching and of the poor quality of teachers recruited but Bawnboy seems to have been lucky in its teachers and any inspector's reports that have come to notice are favourable.
The food in Bawnboy workhouse was not luxurious but adequate.
Breakfast was a mixture of oatmeal and Indian meal boiled together and served with buttermilk. Dinner consisted of potatoes with sweetmilk and sometimes meat, but in the orders for provisions there was always a distinction between paupers' meat and officers' meat. Evening meal was of porridge with bread and milk. In late spring and summer when potatoes were scarce bread was served at dinner. At Christmas and mid-summer there were helpings of sweet cake at evening meal.
Bawnboy workhouse was built primarily to house destitute people but the infirmary was to be at the disposal of any inhabitants of the Union who needed hospitalisation. A rate payer was expected to pay a fee and was also liable for his employees. The planners did not envisage infectious diseases and in 1855 were forced to build a fever unit. The Anglo-Celt, 8th January 1855, has an advertisement inviting tenders for a fever hospital. Names of two sureties of £400 were to be submitted with each tender. We have no record of when this building was completed nor do we know what the contract price was. In 1869 there is a mention of patients in the fever wards as distinct from those in the infirmary. An ad. for a nurse at this time states that she will be paid £8 per year with apartments and rations. In 1855 the average number of inmates in the home on a given week was 172. The weekly cost of an inmate was 2-3d and of a patient in the infirmary 3-1 ½ (three shillings and a penny halfpenny).
A report of April 1879 gives a list of officers of Bawnboy Union for that year: Chairman, David Finlay, Brackley, Vice-chairman, Nathaniel Maguire, Ballinamore, Deputy Vice-chairman, Peter Maguire, Clerk, James McGovern, Swanlinbar, Medical Officer, George Hearne, Some salaries for the half year were as follows:- Rev, Rawlins, Protestant Chaplain, £6-15-0; Rev Terence McGovern, R.C. Chaplain, £8-15-0; Clerk, £16-15-0; John Carson, Master, £10-0-0; Mary Keane, Matron, £6-10-0. The Master, Mr Carson, reports that milk supplied by Mr Dolan had 10 degrees of cream, that supplied by Mr McCaffrey had 10 ½ degrees, while buttermilk supplied by Mrs Maguire was of good quality. Supplies for the week:- Bread: 810 lbs. Butter: 29 lbs. Beef for officers: 29 lbs. Beef for paupers: 36 lbs. Buttermilk: 210 quarts. Sweetmilk: 310 quarts. Sugar: 1 cwt. Starch: 12 lbs.
It was also noted that Miss Kate Gormley, assistant school mistress, was invited to training and it was proposed that she get leave and appoint a successor. An amendment that the Board appoint a successor was carried. Next meeting it was announced that with the approval of the school inspector her sister, Margaret was left in charge by Miss Gormley.
was announced that with the approval of the school inspector her sister, Margaret was left in charge by Miss Gormley. The Board voiced its disapproval and declared Margaret's appointment void. It is noticeable that whenever an appointment was being made all the Board members were in attendance but for normal business it was often difficult to get a quorum.
Michael McCabe, Ballyconnell, tendered 7d per pane for large and small panes. Mr McTeigue, Bawnboy, tendered 1 shilling for large panes and 5d for small. As there were so many small panes and comparatively few large panes the contract was given to Mr McTeigue. Subsequently Mr McCabe wrote to the Poor Law Commissioners in Dublin saying that he had been unfairly treated. McTeigue have got preference because he came from Bawnboy. A copy of the minutes covering the appointment was sent to Dublin.
In 1902 the chairman of the board was L. Dolan, Garryfliugh, Ballinamore, vice-chairman, E. McGovern, Bawnboy, medical officer Francis J. Teevan.
At a meeting in January of that year a letter from Local Government was read pointing out the necessity of having a second ambulance for patience with infectious diseases.
Mr Edward Reilly ( a member) "How did them manage when there was no ambulance. We spent £24 on the last ambulance . They want to cripple us with rates."
Chairman: "Naturally we need one for fever patients and another for ordinary cases. Would any member here like to travel in an ambulance that had recently carried a fever case." The Chairman's appeal was ignored and it was decided that one ambulance was adequate. The ambulance driver was given instructions to disinfect the ambulance subsequent to carrying a case wit infectious disease. A bill for £27-13-11 for electric bells was received with consternation. One member felt the Shelbourne Hotel will not be able to compete with us. A letter from Nurse Bridie Kane giving one month's notice of resignation received the comment, "nurses are treating this place as a lay-by." Later in the year Clerk James McGovern reported ill and his assistant Michael Bannon was appointed as a substitute at £1 per week.
The Cavan Weekly News reports a full meeting of the Guardians on 31st March 1906. The assembled to elect a new clerk in succession to James McGovern who had resigned. Mr Michael Bannon (acting clerk) said there was only one applicant, himself. He had two sureties. Mr Baxter of Killycrin and Patrick Plunkett of Meenaghan. Amid numerous speeches Mr Bannon was declared elected. One member in the course of his remarks reminded Mr Bannon that he had personally favoured his appointment because of the obedient way he had assisted Mr McGovern, a hard task-master, but warned him not to get too big for his boots in the years ahead. His salary would be £50 per year.
Later in the meeting a member objected to sending patients from the workhouse to Dublin hospitals. "Was Bawnboy not good enough?" he asked. Dr Teevan patiently explained that some patients needed specialist treatments and were entitled to the best that could be given. Moreover there were no facilities in Bawnboy for major operations.
In June of that year Dr Teevan reported that six patients suffering from typhoid were progressing favourably and one would soon be discharged. Mr Shannon of Meenaghan demanded that as soon as the patients got well the extra nurses be discharged. "We have too many nurses" he said. "and they don't look after the patients at night. They are trunning around the country spreading infection". This statement reported fully in the Cavan Weekly News created a good deal of controversy later on.
At a meeting in July Dr Teevan objected to remarks made by Mr Shannon at the previous meeting criticising nurses in the infirmary.
He pointed out that nurse Saunters was on duty daily from 7am to 7pm.. Mr Shannon said that he had referred to the night nurse. At the following meeting there was a letter from a Nurse Slattery. "I am the only trained nurse on night duty , and in justice to myself I am bound to inform you that the remarks made by Mr Shannon at the last meeting that the night nurse never went near the patients except on a few occasions are untrue as far as I am concerned". Mr Shannon replied that he still believed there were too many nurses getting £1-10-0 per week for running about spreading diseases. A long letter from a former patient was read. He had been a patient for 9 weeks and said he owed his life to the good care of Dr Teevan and the nursing staff who had never shirked their duties. This letter was obviously directed to Mr Shannon who had the last word: "it would be more commendable if the same gentleman paid his outstanding bill to the infirmary."
I found the wards and dormitories as well as out-offices much more tidy than at my last inspection. There is a sufficiency of water but the sanitary arrangements are of a primitive character. There are neither baths nor water closets and the arrangements leave much to be desired. The supply of bedding and clothing is generally good but the hair pillows must be a torture to the aged and infirm owing to their lumpiness. Steps should be taken to have these pillows opened and improved. I found the doors to the dining room unlocked. I found the drain or channel in the casual yard in a most unsanitary condition.
Legends have grown up about the fever i.e. typhoid, which struck Bawnboy at various times between 1905 and 1918. The writer knew people who spent some time in the Fever Hospital and the impression was given that the wards were bursting at the seams with the sick and dying.
The records show that on any week during this period there were never more than six patients in the fever wards. Admittedly the fever was an ongoing phenomenon. A patient might come home cured and his wife could then contract the diseases and replace him. A neighbour might be stricken later on. The usual cause of typhoid is contaminated water or inadequate sewerage. The spring well in Bawnboy was often tested and was always free from typhoid bacilli. Perhaps the source was the primitive sewerage facilities mentioned by the inspector. Moreover another report mentions a dangerous sewer in the village itself. Perhaps, too, some of the staff may have acted as carriers. Mr Shannon may have been closer to the truth than he realised though blaming the wrong people when he spoke of nurses spreading disease.
In March 1915 a change of diet was recommended. This was to be the first change since 1852. Breakfast used to be Indian and oatmeal boiled and served with buttermilk. Now each inmate was to get 8ozs. of boiled oatmeal with 3 naggins of sweet milk. This was accepted by the board. For dinner in addition to potatoes and occasional beef there was to be a pig's head, pea soup and lentils. This was rejected. One guardian remarked. "a first class restaurant," and another, "the rate payers would come flocking in if we changed".
On 23rd November 1916, Mary McBrien was locked up for 4 hours for abusive and threatening language to the matron. Later the matron reported that on release Mary threw water on her and stoned her window. Mary was to be summoned and charged at the next court. The master of the workhouse at this period was Peter McTeague. Nurses mentioned were his wife, Rose; nurses Byrnes, Carney, Doddy and Kate Dolan who was temporary.
The inflation caused by the 1914 - 18 War began to effect running costs of the workhouse. In 1913 items bought from Wm Mullally read: eggs 10½d per doz., 4 lb. loaf, 5½d. Best beef from the butcher 8d per lb., coarse beef 6d. The cost of an inmate for the week was 4/8d.
In 1918 the price of the 4 lb. loaf had risen to 9d. Eggs were 5/6d per dozen. Best beef from Mr Greenan, Ballinamore, 1-4d per lb., course, 1-2d. Cost of an inmate per week was 11-6d and of a fever patient £1-0-6d. There was no sugar available and the officers and nurses were given a small grant in lieu of the sugar to which they were entitled by the terms of their contract.
For the first time in Years nurses and officers began looking for a salary increase. The Board at first refused to grant increases to the medical attendant Dr Rourke and dispensary doctors Dolan and Sheils. They withdrew their services and eventually Dr Rourke was granted £85 for the workhouse and £150 for Ballyconnell dispensary with £10 every 5 years until he reached £180. The other doctors were to begin at £130 per year with increases until they reached a maximum of £180.
It was impossible to employ new nurses at less than £ per year and at this stage (1918) Nurse Byrne's salary was increased from £23 to £30 per year, Mr Bannon Clerk, increased from £50 to £70 per year, Peter McTeague, Master, £30 to £45. Patrick Heavy, Porter, from £20 to £26, Miss Keane, Matron, £26 to £35, all on request. Nurse Doddy, a new nurse was earning £40 per year. James Brannigan, the sweep gave his new tender: £5 per year for sweeping chimneys and 3/6d per day for whitewashing.
He was granted £4 for the chimneys per year and 2-6d per day for whitewashing. The 'flu seems to have hit the workhouse in 1918 and nurses Byrnes and Doddy are reported on the sick list.
Usually the Board was under pressure for Local Government for more expensive services and in turn blamed by the rate payers if the rates increased. In 1920 Local Government asked for economies, pointing out that the annual bill for medicines was excessively high at £22. This led to a discussion on the subject of amalgamation with other Unions.
The Chairman for 1921 was Thos. O'Reilly, Derryginney, Ballyconnell, vice-chairman, Charles Lynch, Kilegar, Dept. vice-chairman, Patrick Keegan, Doogary.
There was some excitement in February 1921 when the workhouse was surrounded by units of the British Army and searched, presumably for patients with gun shot wounds. The search proved abortive. There were then six patients in the fever wards suffering from diphtheria. In 1921 Francis Duffy, Port, submitted a tender for milk at 2-6d per gallon. This was reduced to 2/- . One member said he couldn't face his neighbours if he voted for even 2-2d per gallon.
Letters were coming in from other Unions on the question of amalgamation. At a meeting in August Michael McBarron proposed they amalgamate but retain the infirmary as a local hospital. An amendment that they retain the board rooms and clerk's office was carried and Patrick Keegan and Francis McGovern were nominated to attend a meeting of other combined boards and vote for amalgamation with the limitations mentioned. At the meeting in Cavan it was agreed that the Boards of Guardians be abolished and a new committee of management be appointed for Co. Cavan. The old Cavan Union would nominate four members to the new committee, Bawnboy, Coothill and Baileiboro two each. At the next Bawnboy meeting Mr Bannon, Clerk, stated that the workhouse had been built to house 500 and the general average was now 40. Of these 23 would belong to the new Cavan amalgamation ten of these were prepared to live in the Cavan Home while the other 13 intended staying with relatives and friends. The remainder would go to Carrick-on-Shannon. At a meeting on 11th November motion of closure was passed. 10 inmates were to be sent to Cavan and all officials were to get two weeks notice and advised to apply for a pension under a superannuation scheme.
Officials mentioned were Michael Bannon, Clerk, Andrew McPartlan, Master, Miss Keane, Matron, Pat Heavy, Porter, Nurses Doddy and Byrnes. In addition these go lump sums varying from £70 to £80. Mr Edward O'Reilly, clock repairer, Ballyconnell, looked for a grant but was refused. It was suggested that he be given any of the clocks that remained.
Mr Edward O'Reilly auctioneer, Lisanover, was appointed to auction surplus stock on 19th December. Mr John Maguire was appointed temporary caretaker and later his son Hugh was given the permanent position.
A committee was appointed to inspect the buildings from time to time. These were: Chairman and vice-chairman of the Board with Rev Terence and James Brady, Wm Teggart, P.F. Baxter. M. Doonan, P. Smith, Meenaghan, F. McGovern, Patrick Heavy, E.J. Brady, Tommy Baxter and Patrick Bannon.
Although the Union Buildings were officially closed as a workhouse some of the staff continued to live there. Michael Bannon, the clerk took over a section adjacent to the Boardroom. Hugh Maguire, the caretaker set up house in the master's rooms. Miss Kane the matron, and Nurse Burns continued to live in the rooms originally assigned to them. Later the Gallagher family, Guard Doyle, the McGinn and Dolan families made comfortable homes there.
One of the wings was converted to use as a Vocational School in the mid-thirties and was in use until the new Vocational School was opened in 1967.
The Boys Schoolroom became a concert and dance hall. Practically all George Sheil's plays were staged there by the local dramatic society. Various travelling companies presented dramatic or variety shows. Others presented the silent and later films of Charlie Chaplin and of Laurel and Hardy. The converted school room once housed a successful boxing club and different generations learned Irish dancing there. With the purchase of the Wonderland Ballroom as a prochial hall the workhouse hall was closed .
The chapel is the last link with the old workhouse. It was retained as a chapel of ease for the Bawnboy area. At first the Blessed Sacrament was not reserved. Older people middle aged parishioners will remember a unique part of the liturgy: Michael Bannon's meticulous head count at the Offertory of those who intended receiving Holy Communion. Fr Arthur McMahon, C.C., had the Blessed Sacrament reserved in 1942.
To celebrate the event new seats were installed, made on the site by Guard Doyle and Mr O'Mahony, Vocational Teacher. The Chapel was extended in 1954 by Fr Edward Tully, C.C.
When the new St Mogue's church opens the workhouse chapel will be closed and this will mark the closing sentence of the final chapter of the story of the workhouse.

I know, I know. I don't write, I don't call. These last couple of weeks have been so hectic at work that the Beyond Ramen kitchen has gone virtually unused. It's a crying shame, but neither the code nor the poster was going to write itself, the lazy bums. Now the deadline is met and the 12-hour days are over, but I'm in Boulder for a conference. The cooking won't recommence until the end of this week at the earliest, and the blogging at least a few days after that.
Zee most dangerous bag evah!!
Ha! Our washer & dryer are in the garage, which is off-limits to kittehs, so they're deprived of the warm dryer. And I definitely have to be careful about leaving cabinets open in the kitchen, lest a cat scramble in and knock glassware (or several jars of spices) to the floor.
We I don't think we've called her by her full name since we brought her home. I call her "Maddie," "Maddie Lynne" (the closest I get to her real name), or "Princess Prissy Pants." She really is a prissy little cat.
I once had a cat whose name I think was originally Buster, but whom I inexplicably called "Weasel," "Wizzle," and "Wheeze." Similarly, I had a cat named "Buddy" who ended up being "Gooser" (because he was a silly goose). Funny how names evolve like that.

Put-in-Bay Island Wine
It's hard to believe, but there was a time upon the islands when tourism wasn't the main source of income for those who called the islands home, it was island wine. In the early years of settlement, it was the cultivation of vineyards and the production of island wine that earned the islands their first success, resulting in the islands becoming known by the name of "The Wine Islands of Lake Erie".
Each of the Bass Islands had many family-owned vineyards and some operations were smaller and others were quite large, the largest of which was located on Middle Bass. While George Lonz is most often the name people associate to the success of the vine
with Middle Bass, he wasn't the founding father. This could actually be considered Andrew Wehrleand it was he who put Middle
Bass and the neighboring islands on the wine-making map.
Andrew is mostly forgotten now and isn't given much thought even by those who live on the islands. However, he deserves as much mention as anyone else from our past for helping lay the foundation for what the Wine Islands of Lake Erie would become. Andrew Wehrle arrived on Middle Bass in 1854, hailing from Germany, as did many of the other early settlers to this area. However, at this time he was working as an agent for Jose DeRivera. He took notice of the success some of the other islands were having with grape cultivation and purchased property on Middle Bass in 1859, soon planting a small vineyard too. Wehrle pressed the first barrel of island wine ever on the island in 1862. He built a wine cellar beneath his house and several years later Andrew was producing wine on a much larger scale with a capacity for 5000 gallons of juice.
Wehrle saw there was money to be made in this business and in 1865 he established the Golden Eagle Wine Cellars. In the early 1870s he decided to expand, and so commenced the building of a much larger cellar along the southern Middle Bass shoreline, one that could house 30,000 gallons of wine, which was quite impressive for the islands at the time. At some point, Wehrle came in contact with a wealthy businessman named Michael Werk. Werk was from Cincinnati and was involved with the wine industry there among other things. However, the vineyards along the Ohio River developed black rot or powdery mildew as it is called today, which basically wiped out the grapes there. This disease didn't seem to have much effect upon the northern part of the state, and by the time it did, there were ways to effectively treat it, so Michael turned his grape growing interests along the lakeshore.
In 1871, Wehrle took on Werk and his two sons as partners; establishing the firm Wehrle, Werk, and Sons. The following year the group decided to expand their business by building more cellars which could now house 200,000 gallons of native island wine. About this time, the islands were fast becoming a tourist destination and Andrew went on to build a dance hall with bowling alleys and billiard rooms above the cellars. It was quite an impressive structure surrounded by tall glass windows allowing for wonderful panoramic views of the lake and island. The outside of the building was decorated with beautiful ornate trim including a large deck stretching across the front of the building overlooking the lake. Many, many folks came to the Golden Eagle over the years to partake in a refreshing libation as well as to "trip the light fantastic". Wehrle, Werk, and Sons enjoyed quick success and more cellars were added and by 1880 the operation was by far the largest in Ohio, if not the whole country and some references claim it to have been the largest in the world, since at times they were producing between 700,000 and 800,000 gallons of top quality island wine.
Andrew Wehrle was a man of industry and didn't limit himself only to Middle Bass island wine; he also dabbled in other areas of
business among the islands and mainland. He was the president of the Sandusky and Island Steamboat Company. He was also a stockholder in the steamer Arrow as well as part owner of the steamer American Eagle. He was also a partner in the Put-in-Bay Hotel Company and for a time was involved in the ice harvesting business on South Bass Island. Andrew also helped to establish the American Vinegar Company in Sandusky, the first to make wine vinegar in the States. Although not everything he touched was a total success, he went into business with the former superintendent of Kelley's Island Wine Co. making wine under the name Wehrle and Farciot in Sandusky, but it didn't pay and the firm went bankrupt in 1884. Yet it was always the Golden Eagle that continued to be his primary interest. However by 1884 Werk and his sons' attitudes toward imbibing in alcohol changed and they developed a distaste for the business and became teetotalers, subsequently selling their half partnership back to Wehrle.
Andrew, in turn, sold their half to his son Herman. The two continued on enjoying success, and reports state in 1887 the father and son team were producing around 500,000 gallons of wine, and by 1890 it is said all eight wine presses the firm owned carried on night and day pressing 1200 tons of grapes each season. It would take around 400 acres of vineyards to provide that many berries, so likely he was purchasing grapes from growers across the islands. All good things come to an end and the same proved true for the Golden Eagle Wine Cellars. Sadly in 1896 Andrew Wehrle passed away which became a turning point for the winery and in a way Middle Bass as well. Herman wasn't the businessman his father was and by 1905 the winery was put on the auction block so he could repay his debts.
Of course, the story doesn't end there, but the chapter of Wehrle's on Middle Bass does. While George Lonz is probably Middle Bass's most known figure, it just needed to be said there was more to the island than what "King George" brought to it. After all, there was Andrew Wehrle and without him there just may never have been what would become the Famous Wine Islands of Lake Erie.
Postscript Werk was pretty interesting himself, in his other business interests in Cincinnati, he was partners with three other men, Procter, Gamble, and Jergan. I need not say more about their success. Procter & Gamble must have kept up with their island connection
as they were some of George Lonz's best customers during prohibition. Authored by Robin Burris Lake Erie Historian.

Over the course of a long and adventurous life, Henry Alsberg was guided by the constancy of his passion for radical causes. This focus, as Susan Rubenstein DeMasi makes clear in Henry Alsberg: The Driving Force Behind the New Deal Federal Writers' Project (McFarland, 2016) defined both his varied career choices and his greatest achievements. Alsbeg's radicalism was a constant of his life from an early age, and led him to abandon his initial employment as a lawyer for more fulfilling work as a journalist and author. After several years in revolution-plagued eastern Europe as a correspondent during and after the First World War, Alsberg returned to the United States to become a theater producer. Despite the success of his English-language translation of the play The Dybbuk, by the time the Great Depression hit in the early 1930s Alsberg was facing the same challenges as millions of other Americans in finding work. Not only did the New Deals Federal Writers' Project provide him with employment but, as DeMasi demonstrates, with projects such as the multivolume American Guide and the compiling of the oral histories of former slaves he shepherded some of the most enduring cultural legacies of the era, ones which serve as monuments to his own blend of political values and artistic creativity.

Get it right, the copyright
The Government playing Blindman's Bluff with its citizens instead of being inclusive!
Responding to a call posted on the Rajya Sabha Website where now and then, standing committees mulling over our collective future as a nation act responsibly by inviting comments, I sent off the following comments on the proposed amendment to the Indian Copyright Act, 1957. All in all an opportunity which has only been half, if improperly used by the Government. In any case, in hope that all comments are given their due, I have shared mine within the deadline of May 31st, 2010 (So, run and send yours too; there are two more days).
Thanks to a tweet from Sunil Abraham of Centre for Internet and Society.
It is a laudable effort of the Government to bring the existing legislation up to date with international consensus and frameworks. Kindly note the following comments.
1) We endorse the reading of "fair use" to apply to private and personal use legalising any use of copyrighted material for private or personal use such as making backups of material for personal use, which in some country contexts (like the DMCA of USA) has not been read as fair use.
2) While it is commendable that the Act removes the need to pay royalty/seek permission for conversion of copyrighted text to Braille, the spirit of inclusivity is lost as most people with visual impairment have moved on to e-readers and audiobooks. We strongly recommend that the amendment be widened to be applied for all types of devices/technologies that are geared towards making a particular text available for visually impaired. Such a wide application of the amendment would make India indeed a pioneer in inclusive legislation.
3) We appreciate the move to give content creators more rights over their creation and this move to shift some power from industry to individuals who create content is commendable.
4) While the efforts to provide copyrights as a right to assert authority over intellectual or other kinds of original work is an important role for legislation, we believe legislation should also make space for frameworks which explicitly try to improve and open up opportunities for collaboration. Various such frameworks are in use worldwide today, one well known among them being the Creative Commons system. Original work 'copyrighted' under this system encourages the spirit of sharing while still allowing the creator to retain 'intellectual rights' over his/her work.
For more, please see http://creativecommons.org/education?utm_source=ccorg&utm_medium=ccedu
Leading institutions and governments are now in the process of adopting and endorsing the Creative Commons system. We request that the Committee consider the option of providing a legal space to such licensing within a legislative framework.

I didn't do any code change yet. And I need to get the latest version of repository code.

Is the European Parliament just a 'talking shop'?
Home » Responses » Is the European Parliament just a 'talking shop'?
The European Parliament (EP) is directly elected by the citizens of the EU every 5 years. Many claim that the EP has no real powers to influence the work of the EU, and that it's just a 'talking shop'. However, a look at the facts shows that isn't quite the case.
One of the key powers of the Parliament is its control over the Commission. The Parliament now elects the Commission President and since 2014 this happens to be the candidate from the European party that wins the most seats in the election, meaning there's a link between the outcome of the elections and the Commission. All proposed Commissioners are scrutinised by the EP and afterwards the College of Commissioners has to be approved collectively by the EP before they can take office. As well as that, the EP has the power to censure (remove) the College of Commissioners from office by a 2/3 majority, ensuring that the Commission remains accountable to the people's representatives. The mass resignation of the Santer Commission in 1999 was in direct response to a threat of EP censure, showing how powerful the EP can be.
Under the 'Ordinary Legislative Procedure' (OLP), the Council and the Parliament legislate on an equal basis. The EP has the power to reject, approve, or substantially amend the legislative proposals in front of it. For a proposal under the OLP to come into effect, both the Council and the EP must agree on a common position and approve the proposal. The EP therefore has a significant impact on the vast majority of EU laws. It also has to give its consent for the EU to conclude most international deals, meaning the EP position must be reflected at least somewhat in the final deal, or the deal may be vetoed.
The other main power of the Parliament is that it's one of the joint budgetary arms of the EU. It negotiates on an equal basis with the Council on how large the yearly budget should be, and what money should be spent where. The EP also scrutinises if the Commission and the other institutions have spent EU money correctly through the 'yearly discharge' procedure. The Parliament ultimately decides whether to approve, refuse or delay the discharge of the previous year's budget (in other words, it will say whether or not EU money was spent correctly). The EP therefore has significant oversight over how taxpayers money is spent, and a large say over what it funds.
The European Parliament has been continuously strengthened with almost every new Treaty since its inception as the Common Assembly of the European Coal & Steel Community. While it cannot propose its own legislation at present, it still has a significant impact on the daily workings of the EU and can be considered quite far from the level of a 'talking shop'.

Globally, startups have become more diverse and abundant. There is an ecosystem that has been under creation over a decade and now seems to be working in a seamless order, with a heavy machinery of experts, venture capitalists and successful entrepreneurs mentoring the newcomers and backing the bright ideas.
Besides the risk bearing attitude of a millennial generation today, innovation and technology is further fuelling the ecosystem. Globally, it is estimated there are over 100 billion dollar startups that have seen valuations going up right from their seed stage.
This is a biggest myth. Look around and you will hardly see second or third generation entrepreneurs. Either there are bootstrapped startups or there are professionals that have sought funding from Angels or VCs. It starts with grit and loads of willingness along with a great idea that can be backed by innovation in terms of technology or product / service offerings. Practice makes an entrepreneur perfect or nearly so.
Now, this is lunatic. From an investor's point of view whether angel or institution, risks are more or less of same magnitude. Factors for entrepreneurs, while starting of his own, remains the same – there are bucks riding on his idea, his risk bearing attitude, his people management skills and ability to scale up. His energy, time, focus and clarity about running his business imply whether it will turn into a failure or a success. There is a big chance for him to prove his mettle; it will not only be disheartening for him to face a failure, it will be a big dampener to his self confidence, at least for a while till he starts all over again.
Recent examples of Founders and CEOs of Indian startups could be seen, who have left their own businesses due to differences with management or the company turning too commercial. This is usually noticeable soon after too many hands i.e., investors take over the realms. They are seen as high headed as they forego big monies after the venture has reached huge valuations running into billions of dollars. At times, it is seen they leave as their passion and energies have seen a downslide. Once a dream turns into a nightmare for them, they feel suffocated and drained.
Not unless they are Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. Younger the better but not mandatory, there are no rule books that are sacrosanct. Apple was founded by Steve Jobs at a very young age, but it was his second coming at later age that led Apple to greater heights. Qualcomm, for example, was founded by Irwin Jacobs when he was 52 and Andrew Viterbi, who was 50.
While young college pass outs are still open to working in new organizations, middle level or top level executives may still fear joining young organisations simply due to the way they have been groomed in bigger and more professional looking set-ups. Definition of demonstrating good attitude for work in a startup may mean differently, it is primarily to do with people volunteering to take up extra responsibilities or challenges, are self motivating, perform multiple tasking and are driven by passion to work and coping up ability. They may be happy with ESOPs and flexible working hours but they need more like team spirit building exercises, empowerment in terms of taking decisions regarding their work plans and a lot of one-on-one time with the leader.
Are These Startup Myths Holding You Back?


Jeff Gourley has seen a little bit of everything during his coaching career. He's led different programs from small towns, inner-city, single school suburban to some of the larger schools in the state. He's won state titles along the way and is one of the veteran coaches in the Metro.
In his time as a head coach Gourley has been at Sherwood, Southwest, Belton (as an assistant and head coach) and Olathe South. He led Belton to a Missouri Class 5 state title game in 2007 and Olathe South to its first Kansas 6A championship in 2011.
During that time Gourley said he has seen some of his coaching philosophies change while others have stayed the same. One thing that hasn't changed is what football can teach young men and what it takes to be successful on the field.
"I've always thought that if you taught the little things the big things will take care of themselves," Gourley said. "One of the little things is the respect and the responsibility to show up every day to work. As the generations have changed a little bit I've seen more of what's in it for me not what can you do for the team.
While those basics are still the same, Gourley said his view of football and its place in the world has evolved in the last three decades.
"One thing that has changed over time is football is not the most important thing," Gourley said. "It takes a backseat to a number of things actually. When I started you were either in or you were out. It was very black and white. The older I get the more gray it gets. Partially because for kids there is so much more stuff for them to do. You have to recruit sometimes and you have to compromise a little bit to get them on the field.
There have been some highs and lows along the way for Gourley. He has reached the final game twice and has a state championship on his resume but other seasons also stand out. In fact this past season that saw Olathe South go 5-4 was one of the most satisfying of Gourley's career. This group of seniors finished with a winning record after going winless as freshman, winning only one game as sophomores and three in junior varsity.
"I am as proud of this group of kids this year as I was the state championship group," Gourley said. "To go 5-4 with this group of kids who were not highly talented was the high point. There are other things that are non-football related that are equally as high.
Coming off a season where his team didn't make the postseason Gourley says he is as motivated as ever for the next year.
"I'm motivated, I'm excited and ready to go," Gourley said.


Senior ambassadors Catherine Craft and Lonzie Helms review their material before the perspective parents and students arrive.
Although most prospective families have seen the buildings, read the name, and heard the bagpipes, they have not yet fully connected St. Thomas to the students and teachers inside it. Every year, on one of the first two weeks of November, potential students gather at the school to further view its programs and curriculum. From hearing the band to hearing the orchestra, the visitors receive a sense of what it means to be a student at St. Thomas.
"The purpose is to show how STE accomplishes their mission statement. Middle and upper school ambassadors give tours, so visitors talk with the actual students and not just teachers, and then we take them to the gym where booths are set up for all the electives and core classes," said Jian Liang '18, a student ambassador who helped with the event.
The passion of the teachers is displayed not only through one-on-one conversations but through hearing the students talk about the classes and programs they value the most.
"The most surprising thing is surprisingly not the bagpipes or the highland dancing," said Jian. Although students tend to think that the most unique thing about the school is its Scottish Arts program, student ambassadors find that the Latin program and the classical-learning program in general are the most distinctive to visitors.
"There's just a real opportunity to see the passion that goes behind everything we do here,"said Mr. King.

We had an idea to put a target up in the garage for Connor to practice with. It worked pretty well, but it wasn't perfect. Sometimes the ball would hit the garage door above him, and sometimes he didn't have enough space to move around.
It all came to an end when he hit the ball in to the fluorescent light and the cover fell off and shattered. At least the bulbs didn't break, but it did end the fun.
Andrea was determined to make something like this work, so we ended up purchasing a tennis backboard for him to practice against in the driveway. Hopefully we'll get it next week and we can all have some fun with it.

Affected by floods, locals resort to chowkis for safety

"People living inside the Kosi embankment get little or no government help that is why we have been doing this jugaad for years during the flood season".

Flood waters inundated the house of Ramchandra Yadav, a resident of Khoknaha village of Supaul, for three days. During these days he cooked food by setting up a brigade on the outpost and spent nights at the same post.
"The water level of the Kosi river was continuously rising, but there was no way to get out, so we decided to stay at home and made arrangements for cooking on the chowkis", Ramachandra informed.
For so many years, people living inside the Kosi embankment cook food using this jugaad as they are aware that no government help will be provided to them. Even this year, the story is no different. Despite the flood waters inundating people's houses, neither the government help nor any rescue boat reached for their aid and as a result, they had to spend three days within the flooded homes.
Ramachandra told India Water Portal,
"People living inside the Kosi embankment get little or no government help that is why we have been doing this jugaad for years during the flood season. After applying a thick coat of clay on the chowkis, it is covered with a sheet of tin on which food is cooked. A black stain, which appears due to cooking, is found on the chowkis of every house inside the embankment."
Every house built within the embankment has two to four chowkis so that the essential items can be saved from water at the time of floods and these chowkis also forms the place where people resort to when hit with floods.
Ramachandra says,
"In the past few days, the water level was somewhat low, but due to continuous rain it has started rising again and the danger of flooding looms once again."
This story is not just about Ramchandra. So far, 3,50,378 people have been affected by the floods in Bihar and almost everyone's story is the same in the region.
An official of the Disaster Management Department informed that 190 panchayats across eight districts of Bihar have been affected by the floods so far and 3,50,378 people have come under its impact. Out of these 13,535 people have been evacuated and sent to relief camps.
Several villages in Saharsa district were waterlogged in the past. However, when the rain stopped for some days, the water level got under control, but as the rains have started again, people are getting scared.
Chandraprabha Devi, the head of Aina Panchayat of Saharsa told India Water Portal,
"In the past few days, water had entered several houses, then it receded slowly, but now there is a possibility of flooding again."
Last week of July experienced heavy rainfall
The districts of North Bihar have received heavy rainfall around July 21. According to the Indian Meteorological Department, Ramnagar and Chanpatia in West Champaran have recorded 290 mm of rainfall, while Jhanjharpur in Madhubani received 220 mm of rains on July 21. Similarly, 220 mm rainfall has been received in Sursand in Sitamarhi and 210 mm in Shivhar.
Anand Shankar, director in-charge of India Meteorological Department Patna, said, "The monsoon trough is moving towards Himalaya via Uttar Pradesh and Bhagalpur, which is causing heavy rains in North Bihar districts. He also said that the rains may continue in the same manner for the next 48 hours and thereafter it will decrease."
Minister of Water Resources Department Sanjay Jha said,
"Heavy rains have increased the river water level in many parts and we are closely monitoring the water level of various rivers."
The heavy rains on July 21 that continued for 24 hours considerably increased the water levels of Bagmati and Lakhandei rivers which caused inundation in many villages of Aurai, Katra and Gaighat blocks of Muzaffarpur. Nearly ten Chachari bridges made of bamboo have been damaged in the district, leading to traffic troubles in the areas.
About 41 thousand people have been affected by floods in Darbhanga. The flood water has entered 32 panchayats in the region. Similarly, in East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Gopalganj, Kishanganj etc., dozens of villages have been flooded due to the rising water level in the rivers.
Water discharge increased in Kosi and Gandak
On July 21, 3,35,425 cusecs of water was discharged from the Kosi Barrage. According to the officials from the Disaster Management Department, the water level in Kosi is continuously increasing. Moreover, 2 lakh 57 cusecs of water was discharged from the Kosi barrage on July 19 which implies that in total 60 thousand cusecs of water has been discharged from the river and there is a rapid rise in the river water flow.
The water level in Gandak is also rising constantly. At 6 am on July 21, 4,08,000 cusecs of water was discharged from Gandak Barrage, which increased to 4,36,500 cusecs at 10 am.
According to the Central Water Commission, the Mahananda River at Dhengraghat in Purnia is flowing above the danger mark while at Chargharia in Kishanganj it has almost touched the danger mark. The Gandak River has also touched the danger mark at Banka's Triveni. In Chitwan district, Nepal, the river is flowing 1.47 meters above the danger mark at Devghat. Similarly, the Adhwara River is flowing above the danger mark in Saharghat in West Champaran and its water level is continuously on the rise. The Kanakai River, a tributary of Mahananda, is flowing 1.7 meters above the danger mark at Naimchuli in Ilam, Nepal.
In view of heavy rains, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has instructed the district authorities to remain alert. He has ordered that action should be taken to evacuate people living in Gandak's catchment areas and also in the low-lying region. He has also given directions to provide masks to people and ensure social distancing norms are being followed in the relief camps.
Meanwhile, the Water Resources Department is receiving complaints of cracks, erosion in river embankments. On July 21 itself, half a dozen such complaints were received within 24 hours. In Parsauni village of Gopalganj, there was a complaint of erosion in the dam, which was repaired immediately.
A complaint of leakage was also received in Saran embankment in Saran district and immediate action was taken. An official from the Water Resources Department informed,
"The leakage was reported from the embankment at Tapua village in Bhagalpur, which was passed on to the local authorities and the repair work was carried out immediately. A similar complaint was also received regarding the embankment of Kamala Balan River. It has also been repaired.

Transit bus, multiple semi-trucks damaged by rocks thrown from pedestrian overpass: Surrey RCMP
CTVNewsVancouver.ca Reporter
Alyse Kotyk
Mounties in Surrey say a transit bus was struck by a rock thrown from a pedestrian overpass onto Highway 99. (RCMP handout)
Mounties in Surrey say several vehicles – including a bus and semi-trucks – were damaged after rocks were reportedly thrown from a pedestrian overpass onto a highway.
In a statement Friday morning, police said they're investigating "several dangerous incidents" on Highway 99. According to Mounties, several vehicles were damaged by rocks thrown from the overpass, including a transit bus. In one case, a rock the size of a baseball was found, police said.
The first incident happened on Nov. 26 at about 7:45 p.m. and a semi-truck and bus were both damaged. The second incident happened a couple days later, on Nov. 29, shortly before 11 p.m. The next day, at about 10:20 p.m., two more semi-trucks were damaged by thrown rocks.
"These incidents are very concerning. Throwing objects off of the overpass has the potential to cause serious or even fatal injuries to the occupants of vehicles," Cpl. Vanessa Munn said in a news release.
"We are asking anyone with information to contact police. If you reside in the area please check your residential cameras and be sure to report all suspicious activity to police."
Mounties said the rocks were thrown from an overpass between 32 Avenue and the King George Boulevard exits of Highway 99.
Anyone with information or dash cam video of the incidents is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Quickbooks 2012 is excellent accounting software, and Amazon has it available at an excellent price. The download version was very easy to download and install.
Also, one of the neat features is the availability in my personal download library to download and re-install if something goes wrong with the software or my computer.
I had a small glitch, totally on my side, and the support from Quickbooks helped me to clear up my situation.
This is a bit of a second-hand review. My husband is an artist, and his input seems more pertinent here than mine.
I did not know he was familiar with other versions when I chose this for review; his enthusiasm when I showed it to him was a good sign. He came to know this software from the iPhone and iPad first, where he owns both versions. He told me that he had enjoyed the versions he'd tried, but found the finger-based input challenging, and was interested to see what the "full size" version had to offer when using mouse and Wacom tablets for input.
After thoroughly exploring it, he remained enthusiastic. While he emphasizes that people who are lucky enough to own several art packages will choose which one suits each project, he says that Sketchbook's pencil tool has a real-world feel that is alone worth the price of the software. Without question, this is what he most appreciates. For him, the remaining features were bonuses.
Before purchase, you can explore the software yourself. The Autodesk web page has both the trial versions for download and an excellent overview video to highlight the primary features. But if you are looking for an entry-level art package *or* some unique sketch features to support your larger production software packages, then Sketchbook combines great value with great results.
Above all, he says, Sketchbook makes the computer feel like a natural and comfortable method of drawing. One that he says he will recommend to both students and professionals.


In today's post I'm going to be talking about and combining two things I love: writing and Pinterest. I'm a bit late in joining the Pinterest bandwagon and only started using it a few months ago.
Pinterest is a cool social media platform for sharing, collecting and organising links and images. Unlike Facebook and Twitter Pinterest is an image based platform that consists of an image and a link of where the images came from. It's a great place for writers, both fiction and nonfiction, who stuck looking for ideas.
Just like any other social media platform, Pinterest is inspirational, informative and can be used as a social network too. With all the beautiful images they have on there, it's very easy to become distracted and not do any writing so be sure to use it wisely.
Instead of using just posts or groups, Pinterest has boards and you can literally have boards for anything.
Inspiration – It's awful when the dreaded old writer's block kicks in and you don't know what to write next. Why not create a board solely about your book or novel? Search around Pinterest to store articles related to your book or pictures capturing the mood and theme of your novel. Have a good look around, see what images inspire you.
A storyboard – Storyboards are a great way of a scene by scene board of what happens throughout your novel in a series images.
Research board – Ever wanted to store all your ideas in one place? It can be hard to put your ideas in one place, but luckily Pinterest allows you do just that. Just create a board and start pinning your ideas in one place.

Robert Zemeckis is directing a Beowulf movie, based on the story created by Commax. Some noob named Neil Gaiman wrote the screenplay and its so terrible that it barely resembles Commax's work. I hate it when the movie is nothing like the story. Also the setting is all wrong. and the appearances of Testo and Laymo have been cut from the story. This movie is gonna flop.
Go watch 2005's little known Beowulf & Grendel, it also goes far away from Commax's Beowulf, but does star that guy from 300.
It better flop. I haven't received any royalties from this. They didn't even check with me to see if it's cool to make a movie based off of my story. And they didn't bother to use spellcheck. They spelled Beowolf wrong! Bastards!

It's almost been 2 weeks since I posted about the stair makeover, but don't think I haven't been hard at work. The staining took quite a long time and not because it was difficult, but for another reason – keep on reading. Anyway, I can officially say that the staining is complete and I am at the half way point now (I hope).
This second phase of the staircase makeover covers sanding the stairs, filling the gazillion holes from the carpet tacks and staples, and staining the treads. So let's jump right in and get started!
Once the carpet tacks and staples were fully removed, it was time to sand the stairs.
Once the stairs were smooth, I used wood filler to fill in the many holes left from the carpet strip tacks and the carpet pad staples. There were also a few holes from the natural grain of the wood that I also filled in.
After the holes were filled and the wood filler was completely dried and hard 24+ hours later (it's important that the wood filler is really dry!), I sanded again. The wood treads were ready for staining when the stairs were completely smooth to the touch.
I don't have alot of staining experience, and frankly staining has always scared me. Unlike painting, it seems so difficult, but thankfully I was proven wrong with this project.
When staining, it's key to apply thin coats of stain and angle the brush at a 45 degree angle to avoid bubbles. After cleaning the stairs with a rag to remove any remaining dust from the sanding, I was ready to get started. I used a cheap bristle brush to apply the stain, so I could easily throw it away after the stain applications.
Here are the few steps I took to stain the treads.
1. I started at the corner of the treads.
2. I feathered my brush towards the center, parallel to the wood grain.
3. Then I carefully dragged my brush along the edge of the tread and the stair stringer.
4.. After that I feathered the stain in the same direction of the grain again.
The reason for doing these steps is so the tread is thoroughly covered with stain AND minimal stain gets on the stringer (side piece). For my stairs, I will be painting the stringer white and using a stain blocker beforehand, BUT I was nervous (here comes my apprehension of using stain again) and didn't want too much stain to get onto the stringer. Alittle nutty, I know… but it worked.
Continuing with the staining, I applied it to the remainder of the tread in the same direction as the wood grain.
So… because I had to break the project up into two phases, it took longer. After applying the first coat of stain, it soaked right into the wood, and was dry within about 1-2 hours – there was absolutely no wiping away needed.
Then I applied a second coat of stain, which also soaked right in and took about 1-2 hours to completely dry. At this point, the stair had a really dull finish to it, but it still wasn't dark enough for my taste.
So a day later, I added a third coat of stain and that was key!! It took a good day for it to completely dry, but I was happy. Then I was able to move on to the other stairs that were still raw.
Once the third coat of stain was complete, I sealed the stairs with Polyurethane. I had tested one small area using a semi-gloss finish, but it wasn't right, so I decided on a gloss finish. It gave just enough sheen, but wasn't overly glossy (if that makes sense).
Kate recommended applying 2-3 coats of polyurethane and this time I took her advice. After all my hard work, I wouldn't want these stairs to get ruined!
The polyurethane that I used had a blue tinge when applied (which I freaked out about for only a few seconds), but quickly went away – thank goodness!
And that's it for the staining process. This same process and techniques could also be used for furniture.
I got a few comments from readers after my last post that they enjoyed how thorough and explanatory my post was, so I tried to do the same with this – I hope you enjoyed it and learned something new. If you still have questions, let me know!
Looks Beautiful! I want to rip the carpeting out of my home completely, including the stairs but that will have to wait a bit. When we do it though, I'm coming to re-read your tutorials. :) So excited to see these finished stairs!
Oh Jenna it's coming also so nicely! You really did a great step by step tutorial. I'd love to do this project some day, but I know it will be a lot of work (but oh-so pretty!).
These are going to be so amazing when you're finished. Every time I walk up my stairs, I want to rip the carpet off just to see. My husband is very much against it.
Wow, that is just stunning! What a great tutorial as well. Those stairs are going to look fabulous when you are all done.
They look great so far! Can't wait to see them after you are finished painting too. Thanks for the great instructions!
I agree, your step by step explanations are very helpful!! This looks amazing!! Did you ever get stuck in the middle of the stairs while the next step was drying?! I would have! lol Looks like it took a lot of careful planning! Extremely impressive. Thank you for sharing!!
Ok so I want to know if you just got luck with having good wood under your carpet. I would do this in a heart beat but I think we are gonna have mdf or some other particle board under ours.
Hi. I am in the middle of a similiar project and I have used stainable wood filler on some of the gouges and holes but now I am reading that it will not really absorb the stain. It looks like the same product that you show in your pictures. You never really said, but how did your wood filler look after applying the dark stain. Can you tell which areas have filler because they are a lighter color? I am really nervous to move on based on what I am reading on the web. If you have a close-up of an area with the wood filler and stain I would love to see how it turned out.
I'm not sure if I got back to you about this Jennifer – I think I did already. If not though, you really can't tell which areas were filled in with wood putty. I wouldn't be nervous about it.
I'm glad you conquered your fear of staining, Jenna. Your stairs looks great and the Minwax Ebony Stain was a great choice.
Love your stairs!! I'm in the process now. Is it hard to paint over the stain that gets on the sides? I was very messy with mine :/ figuring the paint would be fine going over it but now I'm freaking out haha. Thanks!
Hi! I love your stairs! I am attempting to follow your examples and have started my stairs this weekend. It is my first EVER DIY project. My carpet, nails and staples are all off! Whew! I am really concerned with what wood filler to use as I have seen and heard how even "stainable" wood filler doesn't actually hold the stain. Which one did you use and how well did it work? Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I'm in the process of painting my stairs too.
Hope mine look as great as yours do, great job gal.


Bill combines strategic thinking with relationship-focused tactics to help tech companies translate what they do into plain-spoken messages customers get.
As an almost Atlanta native, I left to become Associate Creative Director at some of the best award-winning agencies (BBDO/NY, Saatchi & Saatchi, Doner, Hill Holliday) before returning home to found the Frederick Swanston agency with Scott Frederick in 1999.
At Frederick Swanston, we are a mid-sized advertising agency in Alpharetta; I lead the creative strategy by combining exceptional creative with the finest client service. I have experience in marketing high-tech companies that stems from my 20+ years of experience in the industry combined with my commitment to creating highly targeted direct marketing and direct response programs. We then take these targeted messages and integrate them into traditional and online advertising campaigns.
As an ad agency leader in what's been called the "Technology City of the South," I know a thing or two about marketing high tech. With nearly 600 technology companies in the surrounding area, Alpharetta is now the third largest concentration of high-tech companies in the country only following Silicon Valley and Austin. This vibrant, progressive city is where outstanding service and a technology-driven business environment meet yielding a quarter of Metro Atlanta's top 25 technology employers.
I enjoy writing and recently co-authored A Guide to Surviving the Seismic Shift in Advertising. If others were to describe me, they'd attribute my quick wit and southern charm as my most attractive qualities. I am also fanatical about southern (i.e. fried) food. If you happen to find me at a local barbecue joint, go on and pull up a chair. I have accumulated a multitude of stories.

SANKARA NETHRALAYA PAYS GLORIOUS TRIBUTES TO SRI MAHA PERIYAVA
With jubilations all around, Jagadguru "Maha Periyava's", 123rd Jayanthi Utsava was celebrated with reverence at the Sri VD Swami Auditorium, Sankara Nethralaya main campus on 26th May 2016.
Sri N Vijay Siva, the seasoned vocalist of the DKJ music lineage, in his mellifluous rendition, invoked the blessings of Lord Shiva, through the composition of Manikavasagar.
Introducing the Chief Guest of the day, Col Raghavan, Advisor – Projects, remarked that he felt proud to have Brahmasri B Sundar Kumar, an erudite scholar on Advaita philosophy and scriptures, exponent of Srimad Ramayanam and the first doctorate awardee from Sastras to be addressing the gathering.
Humbly offering his salutations to the Saint of the Era, Sri Maha Periyava, Sri Sundar Kumar started his presidential address as a torrential downpour, eloquently quoting verses from the Ramayana whose essence was reflected in Maha Periyava's spiritual life.
He spoke of the greatness of Aadhi Kavya Srimad Ramayana stating that all scholarly wisdom brewed with it and hence it was a repository of knowledge that needed to be studied with all humility.
Sri Maha Periyava had a subtle way of pointing to errors said he, when a historian who had chanted Ramayana 107 times and sought blessings for the 108th Chanting from Periyava, with a grandly printed invite that had a larger font for the "Printer's address", Maha Periyava, glancing this, queried if the historian had a faint idea about the spokes on Sri Rama's umbrella, to which Sri Periyava himself answered quoting Ayodhya Kanda, that spoke of Sri Rama's radiant face under the umbrella with 100 ribs that glittered like the rain water froth.
न ते शत शलाकेन जल फेन निभेन च |
आवृतम् वदनम् वल्गु चत्रेण अभिविराजते || २-२६-१०
This downsized the historian's pride after which he prostrated before Maha Periyava seeking pardon.
Maha Periyava was the very epitome of compassion, said Sri Sundar Kumar, quoting an instance when a scholar who was in distress and penury was advised to chant Ramayana to his Mother, "नूनम् नन्दति ते माता", to be blessed by her.
Sri Sundar Kumar indicated that Maha Periyava emphatically reiterated that भारत was कर्म भूमि and all our rituals/ offerings to Devatas or ancestors bore fruit in this divine land while living in foreign lands only helped in enjoying material comforts and luxury. Justice Ismail, former Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, was an authority on Kamba Ramayana, whose verstality, Maha Periyava admired and discussed elaborately about the "Illusions" of the materialistic world, remarked Sri Sundar Kumar.
Sanskrit knowledge would fortify reading Ramayana, remarked Periyava in a sadhas when he spoke of the आनन्द शब्द grammar as quoted in Ramayana in the verse
कल्याणि बत गातेयम् लौकीकि प्रतिभति मा
एति जीवन्तम् आनन्दो वषर्म् शतदपि
In his concluding remarks, Sri Sundar Kumar quoting Saint Composer Sadasiva Brahmendrar,
खेलति मम हृदये श्रीरामः
मोहमहार्णव-तारणकारी
रागद्वेष-मुखासुरमारी
शान्ति-विदेहसुता-सहचारी
दहरायोध्या-नगर-विहारी
परमहंस-साम्राज्योद्धारी
सत्य-ज्ञाना-नन्द-शरीरी
Chanting Rama Nama, one would easily cross the ocean of passion and suffering that would make one detach oneself from desire and hatred and lead into the path of salvation.
Sri Sundar Kumar highlighted that Paramacharya in his Shookshma shareera was the phenomenal guiding light to one and all.
The next agenda on the day's function was the "Honouring of Dr. T S Surendran, Vice Chairman, Sankara Nethralaya for his glorious achievement of being conferred the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS), by the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, UK, earlier this year.
Sharing their experiences with the ever smiling and unassuming Dr. TSS as he is fondly referred to, Senior Consultant Dr. Smita Praveen, Dr. Rajeshwari Mahadevan, Head, Contact Lens Department and Smt Latha Suresh hailed encomiums on the veteran paediatric ophthalmologist and deft surgeon, cherished by all for his mammoth contribution in the making of Elite School of Optometry, to what it stands today.
In his acceptance speech, Dr T S Surendran, expressed his deep gratitude to the institution and its 'Periyava', in a reverential reference to Dr. SS Badrinath, Chairman Emeritus, for the golden opportunity to serve.
What followed was a most absorbing presentation of the community eye care services dispensed by the Kolkata Sankara Nethralaya through a poignant short film titled 'Sankara Nethralaya – The Kolkata Chapter' highlighting the need for continuing the institution's' Mission for Vision' and the state of art facilities offering tertiary ophthalmic care at Kolkata, serving millions in the neighbourhood, shot by Shri Badri Surendran and team. The film was released by long time friend and supporter of Sankara Nethralaya Lion Shri M V Raghunathan.
The grand function concluded with "Aarthi" to Maha Periyava and floral tributes by devotees.

Abstract : Guaranteeing a high availability of communication services to customers is a day-to-day challenge for Carrier networks. In the context of IGP routing, when a failure occurs, a re-convergence process is initiated in order to re-establish a consistent view of the network. During this process, the latency of the failure detection, which is realized by the Hello protocol, is responsible for an important unavailability. Indeed, quick failure detection would require the use of fast Hello exchange which, in turn, would cause false detection and instability. However, there are often forewarning signs that a network device is about to stop working properly. Based on an embedded and real-time risk-level assessment, one can adapt in a real-time manner the Hello message frequency of sick nodes and thus reduce unavailability while maintaining the routing stability. This papers details and evaluates a mechanism for adaptive failure detection timers in IGP networks. The impacts in terms of availability and quantity of Hello messages have been estimated based on an analytical model and then simulated to measure the benefits of the proposed proactive self-healing function.

Gloria Borger Divorced Lance Morgan. Did she marry again?
Gloria Borger is a name known by all with regards to news and reporting, but how much do you know about her personal life. Gloria was a married woman, yes you heard it right. Gloria is all one would seek in any female, yet best of things often don't fall in place.
Gloria was previously married to her now ex-husband Lance Morgan? Let's look into the details of her marriage.
Borger and Lance were in a romantic relationship for quite a time before they decided they take their relationship to next level. The couple walked down the aisle in a low key ceremony, information of which aren't yet revealed. Gloria and Lance are blessed with one child.
Before the couple called it quits there were rumors flying around about their divorce. But there weren't any official report and sources to confirm the rumors. Anyways who would have thought this happily married pair could get separated.
Well, their story didn't have a happy ending and ended with a divorce. However there isn't any information regarding the reason for their divorce and we know Gloria she is very private when it comes to personal matters, so it is still a mystery.
Is Gloria Borger married again?
The Emmy Award winner, after her split with ex-husband, seems to be single. She is very beautiful despite her age and looks much younger. She has got skills, pleasant appearance, and screen allure, a person with such character can make any guy fall for her.
But nothing can be said with certainty as nothing about her personal life has been shared with the media. Gloria seems quite conservative regarding the relationship and doesn't share much. We can only assume this stunning independent woman is riding solo and has no time to make a boyfriend.
I guess right now she is focused about her work to build her career to greater heights. For her fans, they will be seeing more of her on the TV.
We wish her the very best for her career and hope she finds a man who will make her happy.
Gloria Borger is currently the chief political correspondent at CNN. She was formerly the national political correspondent for CBS News. She has shown great dedication in her work due to which she has a net worth of $2.5 million.
Gloria's dedication towards her work also won her many awards and honors. She received a National Headliners Award for her 2013 program Marriage Warriors: Showdown at the Supreme Court. Apart from that, she was awarded an Emmy for outstanding live coverage for her CNN's 2012 election night program.
She not only a great media figure but also a great mom. She has a son named Evan Morgan with ex-husband Lance Morgan. She raised a handsome stud and has grown up to be a successful financier. She must be a proud mom and a happy one too because Evan recently tied the knot with Mary Huntsman.

Location is always a factor when choosing a dentist. If you live in the Anchorage Alaska area, there are many options, and most locations are not too far out of the way. While location plays an important role in convenience, many people are willing to drive a little farther for a better experience with their Anchorage dentist.
Relationship is a strong factor. Your Anchorage dentist should be approachable, and should make you feel comfortable when you are in the dentist chair. After all, your Anchorage dentist will be working very close with you to help you achieve a high level of oral hygiene; you most certainly will want to have a good, professional, comfortable relationship with your dentist and the dental office staff.
Specialty is another important factor in choosing a dentist in Anchorage. Some dentists specialize in cosmetic dentistry. Others specialize in corrective dentistry such as braces. Depending on your need, you may select a local Anchorage dentist who can solve your immediate concern. Bare in mind, however, that it is good to have a general dentist who can maintain your dental history and work with you to through the years.
If you are looking for a dentist in Anchorage, please come by and speak with me. I can address your interest in any of these critical areas, and will be happy to introduce you to Excellence In Dentistry.
