by John Hall
Hello Annette; The reasoning behind your explanation (and that of others) falls directly into the center of the problem. P-O-L-I-T-C-A-L / C-O-R-E-C-T-N-E-S-S!!!!! I have twelve books and CD's of my families genealogy that lists ALL living descendants as recent as the year 2000 and they are on-line. I have even found them in public libraries, the Library of Congress. The National Genealogical Society, and at the Family History Center of the LDS. YOU can get my newest grand daughters birth record, born in March of this year, from the county recorders office, and anything else you want, IF you know how. Where is the reasoning behind this BULLPUCKY, in twenty years, we are going to be ignoble, without a name. I deeply resent that and protest the movement to obliterate the given name, for whatever reason!!! You and I are both on-line. Do you realize that your identity is easier stolen here than in genealogy? My name and address are in the local phone book, and available in the white pages on-line. Just yesterday, I found my second cousins wife in New York, whom I hadn't talked to since 1958. I ask again, where is the logic. If I am not mistaken, you, Annette, are either from Marrietta, Georgia or York, Pennsylvania.

[IA-CIVIL-WAR] Western College, June 1863, Milliken's Bend -- Pt. 2
Western College Reporter Western College, Linn Co., Iowa June 1, 1863 Part 2 -- continued: While here in camp we drew supplies and clothing and were in fine spirits; but one morning about daylight the bugle sounded to "strike tents," and we were soon on the road again. We passed through Eminence on the Current river, and to our surprise found that there was only one house in it, although it is the county seat of Shannon Co., Mo. But here was one thing worth mentioning, which is a spring that turns a mill, and forms quite a large creek. This spring has been sounded 400 feet and no bottom found. Just below the spring there is a natural bridge over which we passed. We crossed the Current river in safety and after five day's hard marching went into camp again on the slope of the Iron Mountain. I had often heard of the richness of this mountain, but had little conception of the vast and inexhaustable supply of iron ore here, which is of the very best quality. There is not only one mountain but a number, and they are almost solid iron. One company owns six miles square of it, and have refused $30,000,000 for Pilot Knob, one of the mountains. There is one furnace running which turns out twenty tons of pig iron daily.--After remaining here about two weeks we received orders to report to Gen. Grant, at Memphis, and to march across the country to St. Genevieve--distance 42 miles--which we accomplished in 2 1/2 days. On this march we passed over some of the best country in Missouri. This country is mostly settled by German and French, and we found fine orchards and vineyards and well cultivated farms. St. Genevieve is an old French town about as old as Philadelphia and "twice as small." It is a very quiet place, but we noticed there was some very nice native "catawba" there, and it was hinted when we left, that it was growing beautifully less--"my boy"--but which was certainly a mental hallucination. While at Genevieve we had a very pleasant time. Our camp was situated on a beautiful eminence just above town, which overlooks the Mississippi for several miles. We could sit in our tents and see the steamers pass and repass, loaded with troops, Quartermaster's and Commissary stores for the army which had gone "down the river." While waiting for transportation one day, Col. Stone ordered one of the drivers of our teams to go down in town and hitch on to an omnibus that was there, that we might have a ride. So he brought it up to camp with six fine mules attached to it, and a lot of us got in and had a jolly time you may be sure. Our bugler had a seat on the top, and we had him blow the signals for changes of direction or for halting, and then the advance when we wished to start. It seemed to surprise the natives very much. [as one can well imagine!] But finally, one night seven companies of our regiment embarked on the steamer Blackhawk, for the sunny south. On our way down we passed the battle field of Belmont and the strongly fortified town of Columbus. Then came Island No. 10 and New Madrid near by; places which the rebels thought were impregnable, but which the indomitable courage and ingenuity of the Federal army caused to fall before them. Then came Forts Pillow, Randolph and Wright, very strong places which were compelled to yield to our forces. We stopped at Memphis a few hours, and though the rain was pouring down in torrents, some of us went out to view this southern city. Here in a beautiful part of the city is the grave of Gen. Jackson, with these words engraved on the tomb: "The Federal Union must and shall be preserved." Some fellow has tried to erase the word Federal. Were Gen. Jackson alive at the present day he would rejoice at an opportunity of smiting the dastardly coward to the earth. We next called at Helena [Arkansas], and there we had the pleasure of meeting a number of old friends in the 24th and 28th Iowa, and some in the 4th cavalry. This is a very sickly place, and in one respect reminds one of the city of Venice. The people get to and from their houses in boats. The lower Mississippi is very high and the levee having given way in several places, the water is running over the country at large. Six miles below Helena is the head of the famous Yazoo Pass. At the mouth of the White river lay the famous gunboat Conestoga guarding the river. There we were compelled to "round to" and give an account of ourselves. From there to this point we passed some very large cotton plantations; but there was no sign of any of them being cultivated this spring, and in some, the last year's cotton had not yet all been gathered. When passing the beautiful plantation, a gray haired old man came out on the bank and waved his hat to us, the first and only demonstration of the kind we have seen in "dixie." We arrived here on the morning of the 27th of March [1863] without accident, and immediately disembarked, proceeded to our present camp in a cornfield about a mile from the river, pitched our tents and soon all was bustle and life in camp again. The next night there came up a furious storm of rain and wind. The rain came in torrents, the lightning flashed, the thunder rolled and all nature seemed to be in commotion. I saw my tent beginning to reel and hastily donning my over coat went out to "tighten stakes." After hunting round in darkness and rain with mud half boot-leg deep, I succeeded in finding an ax, but by that time my tent was down in the mud and Lieut. [James L.] Perry was holding on to the ropes of his, with might and main. I went to his assistance and we succeeded in keeping it up. The scene in camp was ludicrous enough; at least 3/4 of the tents were down, and men in undress uniform were running in every direction. This sail is very porous and when it is wet it becomes very pliable indeed. We are in the 2d Brigade of the 14th Division of the 15th Army Corps, commanded by Maj. Gen. [John Alexander] McClernand. There is a large army here and at Young's Point. How many, I do not know, and should not dare to tell if I did. I have visited Young's Point, and had a very good view of Vicksburg. It is situated on a high bluff, and is very strongly fortified, which I could very plainly see by the use of an ordinary field glass. I saw the secesh drilling near town and their guns planted on the fortifications. I see by some of the papers that the canal has proved a failure; well that will do to tell very well now. The forces are moving from here mysteriously--disappearing like the dews of a summer morning, their tents left standing and only a camp guard left to protect the property. Whole Regiments, Brigades and Divisions are gone in the still hours of the night, unnoticed and unnumbered by observers. That something is brewing, we do not doubt, but where or when, we cannot tell--all is silent conjecture. To-day there was a grand review of the 13th Army Corps, and a full display of "red tape." All passed off pleasantly and in fine order. The commanding Generals galloped down our lines and were saluted as they passed. There is a great deal of "pomp and circumstance" about war. The health of the army is pretty good now--much better than it was during the months of February and March. The army is in fine spirits and all are anxious to be in at the downfall of Vicksburg. That it will be taken, we have no doubt, but how soon I cannot tell. More anon. Yours truly, J. C. S. [Notes: The only reference I could find to "catawba" was one describing a wild fox grape, often used in making wine. An omnibus was a large conveyance which could be used for many purposes, including transporting passengers. J. C. S.'s reference to Gen. Jackson at Memphis might be Pres. Andrew Jackson, who actually is buried near his home, the Hermitage, near Nashville.] Sue Trout Reisdorph
[IA-CIVIL-WAR] Western College, June 1863, Milliken's Bnd -- Part 1
This letter was doubtless written by a member of the 22nd Iowa Infantry, possibly Co. H member, Captain John C. Shrader, who was promoted to Surgeon on May 1, 1864. Western College Reporter Western College, Linn Co., Iowa June 1, 1863 Milliken's Bend, La. April 4, 1863. My Dear Friend Weaver: After a long and toilsome march through Missouri, we have at length turned up at this place, about sixteen miles, by the river, from Vicksburg. You are perhaps aware that we made very little delay after leaving Camp Pope, until we reached Rolla, the county-seat of Phelps Co., Mo., and the present terminus of the South Pacific R.R. We remained there some two and a half months, doing guard duty and escorting trains loaded with supplies for the Army of the Frontier, as far as Waynesville, some thirty-five miles from Rolla, on the Springville road. Rolla is situated in the spurs of the Ozark mountains, and is a place of considerable importance to the Government, as the Army of the S. W. receives all its supplies from this point. After remaining at Rolla until the 11th of December, my company was ordered to join Gen. [Fitz Henry] Warren's forces at Houston, the county seat of Texas Co. Our company was soon followed by Companies A and I; and there remained near two months, when the whole army was ordered to join Brig. Gen. [John Wynn] Davidson's army of S. E. Missouri. We left one cold blustering morning in the direction of Batesville, Ark., supposing that to be our destination. We traveled over the Ozark mountains and down the southern declivities until we reached West Plains, the county-seat of Howell Co., and about 30 miles from the Arkansas line, when to our surprise, as we marched in at one end of town Gen. Davidson's army marched in at the other. Here we encamped about a week, and in a few days were joined by the rest of our Regt. Here we were brigaded for the first time: the 21st, 22nd, and 23d Iowa regiments formed the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division of the A. S. E. Mo. [Army of S. E. Missouri]. Our brigade was commanded by Col. [William M.] Stone (our colonel). Gen. Davidson had seventeen regiments in all of infantry and cavalry and a very good supply of artillery. We heard that [Gen. Thomas C.] Hindman was then at Batesville, and Gen. Davidson sent a part of his cavalry and one brigade of infantry to drive him across White river which they accomplished; completely routing his forces on this side of the river, killing and wounding some, when they succeeded in making their escape across the river, taking all the means of transportation with them. Subsistence being scarce, our troops returned to West Plains. The road, by this time had almost become impassable and all our supplies had to be brought from Rolla, a distance of 120 miles from here. It was then found to be necessary to move the army nearer its base of supplies, and we were ordered to Eminence, the county seat of Shannon Co. [Missouri], a distance of 80 miles by the most direct route. But as subsistence was scarce, the brigade moved on different routes, and we went by the way of Thompsonville. It is 25 miles from West Plains, and it took us two days to make the trip, such was the almost impassable condition of the road, and then our transportation did not get up until the next day, late in the afternoon. Here we found an old gristmill of the secech persuasion, but Lieut. Col. [Harvey] Graham soon had it cracking corn for the troops, for we were almost out of provisions and were no nearer Eminence than when we left West Plains. The teams were sent out in every direction in search of corn, which was ground into very coarse meal, and was made into bread or mush without salt or sifting. Our rations were daily growing beautifully less, and about 80 miles from supplies, and the roads in an impassable condition. Our road lay through a heavy pine forest, and sometimes we would not pass a house for a whole day and in this country there is no place for farms. The country is mountainous and the valleys rocky and barren. But on, on we traveled, part of the time living on parched corn and the coarse meal of which I spoke, until finally, one evening just before we reached Eminence, an orderly came riding back and told us that it was "only one mile to rations." You ought to have heard the shout that went up from that brigade, and to have seen the countenances of those weary men brighten up. We moved off at a quick pace and in a short time came up with the supply train, and encamped for the night. We drew some rations and waited for our teams to come up with our tents, but about dusk a man came riding into camp and stated that our teams had "stuck." We had to lie out without tents that bitter cold night, but there was a farm near by, and the way we made the rails skeddadle would have melted the heart of an Iowa farmer. We built up some big fires and those of us that had blankets lay down. Mine were in a wagon some five miles back, in a swamp, but some of the boys invited me to crawl in with them and I slept some, and got up and warmed more, and so put in the time until morning. About 9 o'clock A.M. our teams came into camp, and immediately the bugle sounded the advance and we "fell in" and marched off again, to the sound of merry music. About noon we went into camp near Eminence and pitched our tents. Soon all was busy in camp--some getting dinner, some writing to their friends, and others gayly chatting over the events of the march and wondering whither we would march next. What few inhabitants there were in this county were notoriously secesh. As an illustration I will relate a circumstance which happened while on our march to-day. Gen. Benton [I believe this is Brig. Gen. William P. Benton] sent an orderly on to inform Gen. Davidson of our coming, and when he had proceeded but a short distance the sharp crack of a rifle was heard, and immediately some of the General's body guard riding forward found that the courier's horse had been shot, and a little way off in the bushes discovered a guerrilla, and fired on him and "fetched him." It was ascertained that he had been in the battles of Wilson's Creek and Pea Ridge, but finally found a resting-place near home and among his friends. -- continued -- Sue Trout Reisdorph

I think Elaine once posted this for the Camp Pope Bookshop but here it is again: http://www.camppope.com/ Sue
[IA-CIVIL-WAR] Civil War and Iowa CD-ROM
Dawn, O. J. Fargo spent 7 or 8 years collecting hundreds upon hundreds of documents on Iowa in the Civil War and included these on a CD-ROM titled "Civil War and Iowa: Greyhounds and Hawkeyes." This is Volume 3 in a "Treasures from the Archives" set of CDs on Iowa history, and can be ordered from the Camp Pope Bookshop. This particular CD also contains the complete Roster and Record. Some resources you'll find are letters, diary and journal entries written by Iowa soldiers; general information on Iowa's part in the war, such as counties of enlistment and recruitment, what leaders Iowa contributed to the Union Army. Other sections describe the common soldier, the Border Brigades; the politics involved. Also included are reports from the Official Records and excerpts from such publications as the Annals of Iowa and the Palimpsest. Articles detail the weapons the soldiers used, the uniforms they wore, what it was like to be a prisoner of war, etc. Too numerous to detail all the different types of information included in a large number of categories, and I'm still investigating what's there! I do highly recommend it as a resource. O. J. himself is involved in reenacting and doing living history presentations, often giving talks at Iowa Civil War events. Sue
Dawn, I'm really happy to hear you've enjoyed the postings on the Iowa soldiers and the Vicksburg campaign! I really feel that the soldiers, relating in their own words what was going on in their lives day to day, give the clearest picture of what they endured. It's one thing to state that the men were hot, tired, depressed, etc., and quite another to read their letters as they detail what life was like on dusty marches for long hours, what emotions they experienced as they faced battle or the continuing boredom of camp life. Most of my newspaper articles have been copied from microfilm. Most libraries have some microfilm reels on hand, usually for newspapers in their areas, or can order them from other repositories for use at their facilities, for a nominal fee (such as $6). The State Historical Society of Iowa in Iowa City and in Des Moines also have letters stored in their archives that were written by Iowa soldiers, and I'm aware of least one written by a member of the 32nd Iowa Infantry, a George Child of Co. K. I'm glad you've taken such an interest in Iowa's Civil War soldiers and their experiences! I checked the roster of the 32nd Iowa Infantry and found this on Davis Sellers: Davis Sellers, born in Ohio, was 34 and residing in Hardin County when he enlisted Aug. 15, 1862. He mustered two weeks later on Aug. 30th, and served in Co. F, 32nd Iowa Volunteer Infantry. He mustered out Aug. 24, 1865, at Clinton, Iowa.

[IA-CIVIL-WAR] Iowans in Camp Oglethope prison
Here's is a partial list of Iowa soldiers imprisoned at Camp Oglethorpe in Macon Georgia during the Civil War. This prison is often confused in families histories with Andersonville as both were located in Macon Georgia. Andersonville was not built until 1864. Camp Ogelthorpe was used as a Confederate prison in 1862 and also in 1864 when it was reopened as a prison for Union officers. This list is by no means a complete list of Iowans at Camp Oglethorpe. I believe it to all be correct, but I suppose there could be errors based on my interpretations from some of the sources. The list comes from four basic sources. 1. "One Years Soldiering" by F. F. Kiner - 1863. This book details the soldiers of the 14th Iowa Infantry who were at Camp Oglethorpe and other southern prisons in 1862 after their capture at Shiloh's battle of the Hornet's Nest. Most were from Company I. 2. "In and out of Rebel Prisons" by Alonzo Cooper of the 12th NY Calvary - 1888 who was at Camp Ogelthorpe in 1864 and recorded a list at the end of his book of other officers imprisoned there. 3. Writings of other soldiers of the 14th Iowa. 4. My correspondence with others who have ancestors who were in prison at Camp Oglethorpe. Hopefully this will come through OK as I tried converting it from an Excel spreadsheet. I don't know how big a file I can send to the list so I will split it in two parts. Soldiers with an asterisk after the year, died at Camp Oglethorpe. If anyone has any corrections or additions, let me know. Thanks. Steve Kiner ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Agey John S.

Re: [IA-CIVIL-WAR] DICKEY, Charles H.
Charles H. Dickey was born in New York, and was living in Hazel Green. I'm assuming this is Hazel Green, Wisconsin, which is close to the Iowa border, being about 12 miles from Dubuque. He enlisted at age 19 on Feb. 26, 1864, and mustered in March 17, 1864. He mustered out July 18, 1865, at Louisville, KY. In Feb. 1864, the men of the 9th Iowa Infantry who had re-enlisted were granted a 30-day furlough. They returned to Dubuque, arriving Feb. 14th, and dispersed to their respective homes for the period of their leave. The Historical Sketch of the regiment states that at the time the furlough was over in mid-March, 125 new men had been recruited. It's probable Charles Dickey enlisted at that time, before the regiment left Dubuque for Alabama. Sue Source: Roster and Record of Iowa Soldiers in the War of the Rebellion. Vol. II.

Re: [IA-CIVIL-WAR] 4th July
On July 3rd in 1863, CSA General John C. Pemberton and Union General Ulysses S. Grant, in company with Gen. James B. McPherson, met between the lines to discuss terms of surrender of the city of Vicksburg and the garrison there. The leaders met near the Third Louisiana Redan, a Confederate earthen structure positioned to guard the Jackson Road. Reports state the two generals conferred beneath a stunted oak tree, out of the hot Mississippi sun. With the 4th of July looming, Gen. Pemberton hoped to play upon Northern sentiment and thus secure more favorable surrender terms from his Federal counterpart. However, Gen. Grant called for unconditional surrender, as he'd done at Fort Donelson the previous year. Disappointed and angry, Pemberton could not agree to those terms. They both then agreed to allow subordinates to work out terms agreeable to both sides, with Grant promising to have final terms sent to Pemberton by 10:00 p.m. that night. The final terms called not for an unconditional surrender as Grant had demanded previously, but for parole for those defending the city. Recognizing that he had few options, Pemberton agreed, and mid-morning on July 4th, white flags flew over the Confederate works as over 30,000 besieged, hungry Confederate troops marched out of the city as prisoners, and were paroled. That day Union troops marched into the city and planted their flags on the Vicksburg courthouse and other structures. As Lincoln delightedly commented upon hearing the news, "The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the Sea." We should also remember that on July 3rd in 1863, Union forces under Gen. George G. Meade won at Gettysburg, PA, after a horrific three day battle. Although no Iowa regiments fought at Gettysburg, Iowans serving in other states' regiments did fight there, or settled in Iowa after the war and became Iowa residents, thus adding to our state's history. This is the 140th anniversary of the Gettysburg battle also. These two Union successes are often cited as the turning points of the war for both sides.

On that date the splendid Union Army under the leadership of the hero U.S. Grant, defeated the criminal forces at Vicksburg, Miss.. My great, great grand daddy, Milton P. Black (10th Iowa) was there and he helped ! Huzzah for the Union !
RE: [IA-CIVIL-WAR] CSA General Pemberton
Definitely one of the more interesting general officers of the war. The fact that he was a Yankee by birth (though he had married a Virginian and lived in the South for some years before the war) made him suspect to citizens and fellow soldiers alike, and his less-than-stellar performance in the Vicksburg campaign (where he was trapped and eventually surrendered) didn't help his P.R. Of his dedication there is little doubt. In fact, after resigning his general's commission in the wake of Vicksburg, he accepted a commission as a lieutenant colonel, inspecting artillery around Richmond, where he finished the war.

And much maligned, apparently undeservedly. He was from the North and seems to have had brothers serving in the Union Army. The only mention I found of a wife was that at one point, he had received correspondence from his "wife in Virginia." After being discharged from the Army, he was said to have retired in Virginia, and then went to Pennsylvania. Any Civil War enthusiast would probably enjoy reading about General Pemberton. Fascinating man with a long and most interesting military career.

Re: [IA-CIVIL-WAR] Location of Pension papers
by Richard McConnell
Don, I don't have any idea on why the two different locations. I just received the pension records on a shirt-tail relative of my from the National Archives yesterday. I had submitted in March for both the pension records and Civil War records on this individual. The request for the pension records came back within a couple of weeks saying they couldn't be found. But I received nothing regarding his Civil War records. As a result, I called the National Archives and Records Administration last week and talked to Tina Robinson at (202)201-5385. She was upset regarding the Civil War records request, because they should provide a response within 60-90 days. When I gave her the Master Numbers (which is what they provide back to you on a postcard within a few days of the receipt of your request), she said she would check into it and give me a call back. I advised her to be careful of the spelling, because the death record in Pottawattamie County for the individual on whom I was seeking information had his last name wrong, and probably the Civil War records were wrong, too. You can imagine my surprise when, about 90 minutes later, she gave me a call back and said they had found them. I was really surprise yesterday when I received the records via Priority Mail with instructions stamps on the envelope five times to "Mail Immediately." You might want to give her a fast call and see what she or someone else at the National Archives can tell you about why the records might be at the Department of Veterans Affairs rather than in the National Archives. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dan pogrant" <dpogrant(a)new.rr.com> To: <IA-CIVIL-WAR-L(a)rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 8:33 AM Subject: [IA-CIVIL-WAR] Location of Pension papers > I ordered pension papers for my g-grandfather from the Ntl Archives in Washington DC and did receive them.

Lunch Made Easy: Back to School - What about Mom & Dad?
We all know "Back to School" season is upon us. That means early mornings, homework, after school sports/ clubs, and packing lunches.
As parents, we are so caught up in our kids lives and focusing on them... but what about us? What about lunches for Mom and Dad too?
While you're adjusting to the new school routines, go ahead and plan for yourself. If you start at the same time as back-to-school, it won't feel like "extra" work but an every day routine.
I can pin point the time it all changed, it was November of 2010. Even though I had been packing lunches for Little Miss since just before she was two years old, I never took the time to really focus on what I was eating/ doing.
Sure, I'd pack my own lunches here or there - a sandwich, greasy chips, candy, or whatever frozen microwave meal was on sale that week. I'd skip breakfast most days and since I was a single mom, I'd eat whatever was quick (cheap) and simple (not always healthy) for myself at dinner time too.
the day to keep my metabolism up plus it leaves me full without all the guilt!
I decided to make a change. A life changing decision. I was going to make smarter, healthier decisions.
When I would pack Little Miss' lunch, I would cut extra fruit and veggies for myself. Take the few extra moments to fill my own EasyLunchBoxes container with nutritious foods my diet was severely lacking.
Ditch the greasy chips! Snack on fresh veggies and fruit at work.
I feel like I eat more now than I ever did before, but what I'm putting in my body is healthier and better for me.
Every person is different and depending on the changes you make, even small ones (like avoiding the fast food lane by packing lunches) can make a big impact!
I can also say proudly I have lost almost forty pounds since starting my journey in November of 2010, and I actually achieved that number last summer, but have been happily maintaining that loss since.
It's not about the numbers though. It's about being healthier.
I have more muscle. I have more energy. I'm happier. I know that I am putting good foods into my body.
So what does all this mean? Mom and Dad, it's time for a lunch intervention. Our children look to us - they are our "mini-me's". We must lead by example. It's time to pack it and pack it healthy!
The more fruits and vegetables I eat, the more my daughter does. She is interested in trying and eating them when she sees me enjoying them! Helpful suggestions: I also play it up! This is how I got Little Miss to love spinach SO much. When I sat down with my own salad at the table, I would go on and on about how delicious it was, how it was so full of vitamins and helped make you big and strong. She finally decided that "yuck" was a "yum" and tried it. Now, she prefers spinach over regular lettuce or romaine.
Where do I start? Instead of waiting until New Year's to make the resolution to make a change and be healthier, START NOW.
As I mentioned above, back to school is the perfect time to get into the routine. If you start by packing your own healthy and fresh meals, along side your kid's lunches, it will soon become second nature - a normal every day routine instead of feeling like "extra work".
Ideas or inspiration needed: I don't always share pictures/ posts of my own lunches on the blog (the ones pictured in the post are all ones I've made for myself) but you can often find them by following me on Instagram (@KeeleyMcGuireBlog).
If you're looking for an amazingly healthy, lunch planning site for your entire family, I highly suggest MOMables. A comprehensive meal plan site that gives you pictures, step-by-step instructions and ideas, plus a shopping list to make it easy. MOMables does the work for you! The menu items are also easily adaptable for food allergies and dietary needs.
MOMables.com - click to view a FREE sample menu!
I also recommend Ludicrous Mama of "Biting The Hand that Feeds You". She shares her healthy mama lunches, alongside her daughter's, on her blog and instagram pages. Plus, I love her humor so it makes reading her blog fun instead of a task to keep up!
Mama lunch idea from "Biting the Hand that Feeds You"
Bentoriffic packs the most *amazing* looking lunches for her husband every day. She blogs vegan, plant based diet bentos.
More instagram inspiration can be found by two of my favorites, @amy_elise & @debjord who share their healthy, adult packed lunches almost daily. Amy packs vegan, colorful bentos that make me drool! Deb is a mom, works full time, and manages to prove that *anyone* can take the time to pack healthy lunches for their family.
Start now! Don't wait because you won't do it.
You'll save money, be healthier and happier.
Side Note: This post is by no means meant to sound preachy or paint a perfect picture. I'm human. Of course I've had fast food and sweets since November of 2010, lol, but now it's all about moderation. It's also not meant to be a "how to lose weight / diet" posting. Healthy eating and decisions is the focus.
By making simple changes to my lunches and foods I eat during the work week (choosing sugar-free chocolate pudding over a candy bar to get my "chocolate fix" or fresh fruit for snack instead of a grab-n-go gas station bag of potato chips) I've significantly changed my health and the example I'm setting for my daughter, by making more nutritious decisions.
Great post!! I would add saving a few dollars as another reason for packing lunches. Using leftovers for lunch helps me maximize the food we buy each week. And you're right-we're all human. But eating smart (colorful) lunches during the week makes splurges on the weekends not feel so guilty. Thanks for the mention!
I love this post. It is SOOOOO true! And it also reminded me that I need to make that cauliflower crunch salad.
I started eating healthier BECAUSE I was packing for Z too. Since I already had the foods out... and the EasyLunchboxes come in multiples for the same price most guys sell just ONE (HALF) box for, there were boxes for me too. And since I started when she was young and we ate together, she got to see me enjoying my healthy foods too.
Great post, and a wonderful message!
Love the taking care of yourself theme. I think we (moms) need that reminder daily! So, thanks for the reminder. And thanks for the shout out, momma!
I am so inspired! Love to eat healthy and quick!
Lots of yummy lunches and an inspiring post.
These are all fantastic ideas!! Thank you for linking up!

Professor Stevo Julius' extraordinary scientific contributions during the past half-century advanced our understanding on the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of hypertension. His early work showed a relationship between anger, increased sympathetic drive, and reduced parasympathetic tone was fundamental to hyperkinetic borderline hypertension. The investigators provided evidence that sympathetic overactivity led to β-adrenoceptor downregulation and structural and functional cardiac and vascular changes. These changes, rather than autoregulation, contributed to the transition from high to normal cardiac output with a progressive rise in blood pressure. Through population-based studies, Professor Julius confirmed a key role for sympathetic activation, especially faster heart rates, in the early phase of hypertension. Faster heart rates coincided with cardiometabolic abnormalities including hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. The investigators subsequently showed that increased vascular α-adrenergic tone induced resistance to insulin-mediated glucose disposal in skeletal muscle. Professor Julius and colleagues documented that angiotensin-receptor blockade safely lowered blood pressure in prehypertensives and slowed the transition to hypertension. He then partnered with long-term colleagues on multinational studies in middle-aged and older hypertensives at high cardiovascular risk. These studies showed that (1) failure to control blood pressure during the first 6 months of a clinical trial led to a significant increase in cardiovascular events, (2) patients controlled on more antihypertensive medications had less benefit of treatment than individuals controlled on monotherapy, and (3) faster heart rates were associated with worse outcomes in treated hypertensives. Clinicians are better prepared to prevent and treat hypertension by understanding the life work of Dr. Julius and colleagues.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry May Take the Royal Baby on a Trip to Africa Later This Year
By Stacey Leasca
Samir Hussein/WireImage
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, are expected to welcome their first child into the world at any moment. Though undoubtedly this child will be loved, it appears it will be rather well-traveled too.
According to sources, Harry and Meghan are planning to take their newborn on a tour of Africa sometime this fall. As the Daily Mail noted, that would make the child one of the youngest royals ever to go on an official tour.
"As it stands the plan is that Harry and Meghan and their newborn baby, in probably about six months, will take a trip to Africa and tour several countries in Africa," Royah Nikkhah, royal correspondent for The Sunday Times, told Good Morning America. "And around October time probably visit two or three different Commonwealth nations which are of course the nations in Africa that have a close relationship with the U.K."
Nikkhah added that the exact countries the royals will visit have yet to be decided, however, they will be carefully chosen as "the tour will be on behalf of the government."
It's not totally surprising that Harry and Meghan would take their baby jet setting before it can walk. After all, Harry took his very first royal tour in Venice, Italy in 1985 at the age of two.
And, Africa is a beloved continent by both Harry and Meghan, who fell in love during a trip to Botswana and honeymooned in East Africa following their May royal wedding.
But, this trip, like Harry and Meghan's rumored trip to the United states and Canada, may ultimately be postponed as well due to the child's young age.
"That's the word out of the Palace, although things might change," a source shared with Vanity Fair about the trip getting pushed back. "Right now we have been told that there won't be any overseas travel before the end of the year because Baby Sussex will be too young."
But, a family vacation to Africa may also just be another part of the rumored year-long sabbatical to the continent for the Sussexes and their baby.
According to reports, palace officials are working with Harry and Meghan to create bespoke roles in Africa for the globally popular royals. There, the royals would be expected to not only promote the United Kingdom, but to also continue with their various charitable projects as well.
"Discussions are at an early stage, but the plan is to find a new way of using their soft power abilities, most likely in Africa," a palace source shared with The Sunday Times. That full-time move isn't expected before 2020, but at least the child will get his or her first passport stamps before then.

Michael's Cafe Chooses Greenleigh at Crossroads for Site of Second Restaurant Location
at 720 Concourse Circle
Thirty-three year old family-owned business signs 6,024 square foot lease with St. John Properties, with intentions to initiate operations in spring 2018
BALTIMORE, MD (September 6, 2017) – Michael's Café, a thirty-three year old family business that has operated a single location on York Road in Timonium since 1984, has signed a lease with St. John Properties, Inc. for 6,024 square feet of space within Greenleigh at Crossroads, the next development phase of Baltimore Crossroads. The 1,000-acre mixed-use business is situated in the White Marsh area of Baltimore County. Michael's Café will establish its second restaurant at 720 Concourse Circle, a standalone retail building adjacent to various restaurants and consumer service tenants. Bill Holzman, Vice President, Retail Leasing at St. John Properties represented the landlord in this transaction.
Founded by Michael Dellis, Michael's Café is recognized for its contemporary American menu with an emphasis on homemade crab cakes made from a secret family recipe, steaks, soups, salads and sandwiches. The York Road location includes an indoor lounge, outdoor patio, bar and conference room. According to Lauren McGee, one of the owners of the restaurant, the food offerings at Greenleigh at Crossroads will represent "a compact version of the original menu, with a few specialty dishes."
The restaurant offers brunch specials on Saturdays and Sundays featuring four different varieties of eggs benedict; French Toast, waffles and pancakes; and an omelette bar. Mixed-drinks and bottomless mimosas are also available.
"For at least the past five years, we have been actively searching for the perfect expansion location that is far enough away from our York Road restaurant, while also offering consistently strong traffic counts to support our concept," explained McGee. "Greenleigh at Crossroads was the first location to satisfy every important requirement, particularly the rapid growth and expansion that is quickly occurring at the mixed-use community. The size of the space was also extremely important. We wanted our second location to be somewhat smaller than our current restaurant, because we believe this will be more manageable. The existing retail tenants at Greenleigh are performing extremely well and, as new residents move into the newly-built residential section, we expect traffic to significantly increase."
Retail tenants currently open at Greenleigh at Crossroads include Zesto Pizza and Grill; Dunkin' Donuts; Royal Farms; Subway; Mallia Salon & Spa; Polishes Nail & Spa; Crossroads Beer, Wine & Spirits; and The Fitness Rave.
St. John Properties, together with Somerset Construction Company and Elm Street Development, are currently engaged in the construction of Greenleigh at Crossroads, utilizing a concept plan that consists of 1000 single-family homes and townhomes, 500 multi-family units, three mid-rise Class "A" commercial office buildings containing approximately 300,000 square feet of space; 443,000 square feet of single-story office space; 827,000 square feet of flex/R&D space; 188,000 square feet of retail amenities; and a 120-room SpringHill Suites by Marriott.
Located along MD Route 43 (White Marsh Blvd.) near Interstate 95, Baltimore Crossroads is configured to support more than 2.5 million square feet of commercial office, flex/R&D, warehouse, industrial and retail space, in addition to the hotel and residential components. Approximately 2,500 employees currently live and work in the community, including multi-family residents at the Arbors at Baltimore Crossroads and more than 10,000 jobs are expected to be created upon the completion of Baltimore Crossroads.
"Michael's Café adds an important sit-down restaurant component to the retail mix at Greenleigh at Crossroads, which will be particularly conducive to local businesspeople," explained Bill Holzman, Vice President, Retail Leasing for St. John Properties. "It is also recognized for its family atmosphere, and will fill an important niche for consumers residing within the community, as well as the greater White Marsh area. Michael's Café represents an extremely strong restaurant brand with a loyal following, operated by a proven ownership group. Residents that have moved northward from the Towson and Timonium area will gravitate to this new location."
St. John Properties, Inc., founded in 1971, owns and has developed more than 18 million square feet of flex/R&D, office, retail and warehouse space in Maryland, Colorado, Louisiana, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Utah and Wisconsin. For more information about the company, visit www.sjpi.com

The September issue of Romantic Homes magazine sure brought a big smile to my face.
Because our store is featured on pages 70-72!
Thank you Rebecca Ittner and Romantic Homes magazine for highlighting our shoppe in such a lovely article.
I am not surprised at all you were featured. Your store is beautiful and an inspiration to shop in! It is a must stop at every time I go to Canton's Trade Days weekend!
Congratulations! I am not surprised that your talents are being recognized and celebrated.
Congrats....now did I see and ad for your shop in Southern Lady?...Great article!!
I saw this and was so excited for you. It really is well deserved and so wonderful. Yay for you. I thought Romantic Homes did such a good job too. I already love that magazine but this just added a certain something special to it.
CONGRATULATIONS!! you deserve it! How wonderful.
Congratulations and accolades to you!! And in one of my fave magazines.. I am NoT surprised. Can't wait to run out and get it!

Jesus tells the people that they are unbelievers because they refuse the love of God. They would much rather listen to false prophets. They read Scripture from a worldly, mistaken point of view and therefore, don't recognize that He is the One of whom the ancient prophets spoke.
How often do we do the same thing? It is so much easier to believe the false prophets who preach a soft, easy way of living, appealing to our pride and love of flattery. When we listen to them, we manipulate the Gospel so that we interpret Christ's teachings to suit ourselves.
But eternal life only comes from God. We won't find it in flattering words. We won't find it when we pridefully rely on ourselves. And we won't find it if we reject Jesus.
Only in God can we be at rest. Seek His Word. Open your heart to His love and you will have life.
Who and what are the false prophets in your life that are keeping you from gaining eternal life?
Lord, grant me the grace to hear only Your Word. Give me the heart and mind of a true believer so that I may reject the false prophets and follow only You.
Terry, thank you for a great reflection on a challenging gospel passage. It's so easy to fall into a trap of "of course I believe" and yet avoid seeing the answers to your "ponder" question as the real traps that they are. Thank you for writing this for us!


This was the second in the series of conversations with innovative women titled "Hacking the Startup Life", hosted by Luminary Central, Crea7ive Interactive Advertising, and Pipeline Brickell. Its aim was to engage the panelists in a discussion regarding common obstacles women entrepreneurs face, and what methods they developed to overcome them.
The entrepreneurs involved in this session were Birame Sock from FlyScan, Dawn Sole from Pluck N' File, and Tamar Lucien from CanUStart. The event was masterfully moderated by Luminary Central's own Christine Johnson.
The event kicked off with interesting facts from each of the founders that shed some light on how they now face obstacles. Dawn used to play football for an all boys team, Tamar has family gingerbread house building competitions that encourage the demolition of other's structures, and Birame responds to an irrate note with the gift of a can opener.


I know you're hurting right now, I can feel it too.
Because he wasn't just anyone.
But good enough to keep our pride.
Even though it looks grim.
So I'll get the tape and some glue, and we'll fix you right up.
Because remember, this is only our first breakup.
Because we're both in this for the long run.

Wikipedia community and Internet Archive partner to fix one million broken links on Wikipedia
By Mark Graham• 26 October 2016
Photo by Diego Delso, CC BY-SA 3.0.
The Internet Archive, the Wikimedia Foundation, and volunteers from the Wikipedia community have now fixed more than one million broken outbound web links on English Wikipedia. This has been done by the Internet Archive's monitoring for all new, and edited, outbound links from English Wikipedia for three years and archiving them soon after changes are made to articles. This combined with the other web archiving projects, means that as pages on the Web become inaccessible, links to archived versions in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine can take their place. This has now been done for the English Wikipedia and more than one million links are now pointing to preserved copies of missing web content.
This story is a testament to the sharing, cooperative nature and resulting benefits of the open world.
What do you do when good web links go bad? If you are a volunteer editor on Wikipedia, you start by writing software to examine every outbound link in English Wikipedia to make sure it is still available via the "live web." If, for whatever reason, it is no longer good (e.g. if it returns a "404" error code or "Page Not Found") you check to see if an archived copy of the page is available via the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. If it is, you instruct your software to edit the Wikipedia page to point to the archived version, taking care to let users of the link know they will be visiting a version via the Wayback Machine.
That is exactly what Maximilian Doerr and Stephen Balbach have done. As a result of their work, in close collaboration with the non-profit Internet Archive and the Wikimedia Foundation's Wikipedia Library program and Community Tech team, now more than one million broken links have been repaired. For example, footnote #85 from the article about Easter Island, now links to the Wayback Machine instead of a now-missing page. Pretty cool, right?
"We are honored to work with the Wikipedia community to help maintain the cultural treasure that is Wikipedia," said Brewster Kahle, founder and Digital Librarian of the Internet Archive, home of the Wayback Machine. "By editing broken outbound links on English Wikipedia to their archived versions available via the Wayback Machine, we are helping to provide persistent availability to reference information. Links that would have otherwise lead to a virtual dead end."
"What Max and Stephen have done in partnership with Mark Graham at the Internet Archive is nothing short of critical for Wikipedia's enduring value as a shared repository of knowledge. Without dependable and persistent links, our articles lose their backbone of reliable sources. It's amazing what a few people can do when they are motivated by sharing—and preserving—knowledge," said Jake Orlowitz, head of the Wikipedia Library. "Having the opportunity to contribute something big to the community with a fun task like this is why I am a Wikipedia volunteer and bot operator. It's also the reason why I continue to work on this never-ending project, and I'm proud to call myself its lead developer," said Maximilian, the primary developer and operator of InternetArchiveBot.
So, what is next for this collaboration between Wikipedia and the Internet Archive? Well… there are nearly 300 Wikipedia language editions to rid of broken links. And, we are exploring ways to help make links added to Wikipedia self-healing. It's a big job and we could use help.
Making the web more reliable… one web page at a time. It's what we do!
Mark Graham, Director, Wayback Machine Project
A huge thank you to Kenji Nagahashi, Vinay Goel, John Lekashman, Mark Graham, Maximilian Doerr, Stephen Balbach, the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia community members, and Brewster Kahle.

Collection Industry News At A Glance - September 7, 2018
This Week's Newsletter:
FTC Settlements Ban Fraudulent Debt Collectors from Debt Collection Business and from Buying or Selling Debt
The operators of a Georgia-based debt collection business that allegedly used false claims and threats to get people to pay debts – including debts they did not owe or that the defendants had no authority to collect – are banned from the debt collection business and from buying or selling debt, under settlements with the Federal Trade Commission. According to the FTC's complaint, the defendants' debt collection business model was based on falsely claiming to consumers that they had committed a crime and would be sued, have their wages garnished, or be put in prison if they did not pay purported debts. In many instances, the defendants collected on debts consumers had already paid or that the defendants otherwise had no authority to collect. They also illegally contacted consumers' employers and other third parties, and failed to provide written notices and disclaimers required by law.
Consumer protection bureau faces constitutional challenge in Supreme Court
The Obama-era Consumer Financial Protection Bureau faced a legal challenge at the Supreme Court on Thursday to its singe-director format, a setup that Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh has consistently ruled against for placing too much power in the hands of one unaccountable bureaucrat. State National Bank of Big Spring, Texas, along with the nonprofit Competitive Enterprise Institute and the seniors' advocacy group 60 Plus Association, filed a petition with the high court to hear a lawsuit that seeks to declare the CFPB's organizational structure unconstitutional. The agency was created in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory law.
Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Releases Latest Supervisory Highlights
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) today released its 17th edition of Supervisory Highlights. The report covers Bureau supervision activities generally completed between December 2017 and May 2018, and shares observations in the areas of auto loan servicing, credit card account management, debt collection, mortgage servicing, payday lending, and small business lending.
FTC Hearing #1: Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century
The Federal Trade Commission will begin its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century with two full-day sessions, co-sponsored with and held at the Georgetown University Law Center, on September 13 and 14, 2018. The Georgetown event will be the first in a series of hearings that will examine whether broad-based changes in the economy, evolving business practices, new technologies, or international developments might require adjustments to competition and consumer protection enforcement priorities of the Commission. Many sessions will conclude with an opportunity for those attending the event in-person to submit questions to the participants. These public events, in conjunction with the public comment process, will provide the FTC with a broad and diverse range of viewpoints and stimulate evaluation of key enforcement and policy issues.
New Bill Would Override State Usury Caps for Fintech Companies, Payday Lenders
The House just passed a bill that would override state usury caps on interest rates made by financial technology (fintech) companies or online and payday lenders, but it's facing opposition from consumer financial protection advocates. The bill — H.R. 3299, also known as the Protecting Consumers' Access to Credit Act of 2017 — aims to accelerate fintech innovation and encourage business growth. There is a similar bill stalled in the Senate (S. 1642) over consumer financial protection concerns.

WOODBRIDGE – Protecting consumers against surprise bills for out-of-network health services, Governor Phil Murphy today signed Assembly Bill No. 2039, which makes changes to several elements of New Jersey's health care delivery system.

A.G. Underwood Calls On CFPB To Continue Enforcement Of Federal Law To Protect Against Credit Discrimination
NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood – part of a coalition of 14 Attorneys General - called on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Acting Director Mick Mulvaney to continue protecting the rights of consumers against credit discrimination under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). The Attorneys General share authority with the CFPB to enforce regulations regarding the ECOA and lead antidiscrimination efforts in their own states. As such, they are calling on the CFPB to continue enforcing the ECOA, including its provision for disparate impact liability.
COMMUNITY BANKS: Effect of Regulations on Small Business Lending and Institutions Appears Modest, but Lending Data Could Be Improved
The data that banks report to regulators have characteristics that make determining how community banks' small business lending changed since 2010 difficult. However, GAO's analysis found that the regulatory environment likely had a generally modest effect on various aspects of community banks and their small business lending.
US Consumers Owe $1.15 Trillion in Car Loans
Whether U.S. consumers are purchasing a new car or a used model, chances are that an auto loan is involved. More than 86% of all new car buyers and nearly 55% of used car buyers financed vehicle purchases in the second quarter of this 2018. The average loan amount to purchase a new vehicle reached $30,958, up $724 (about 2.4%) compared to the same period last year. Loans to purchase a used car averaged $19,536, up $520 (about 2.7%) year over year. Second-quarter used car averages hit a record high, according to data reported last week by Experian Automotive.
Attorney General Becerra: Weakening Our Equal Credit Opportunity Laws Will Worsen Inequality, Promote Discriminatory Practices
SACRAMENTO – California Attorney General Xavier Becerra today joined a coalition of 14 states expressing serious concern about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) apparent rejection of protections against lending discrimination. Earlier this summer, Acting Director Mick Mulvaney indicated that the CFPB may no longer enforce the Equal Credit Opportunity Act's (ECOA) protections against disparate impact discrimination. The ECOA makes it unlawful for creditors to discriminate against consumers on the basis of certain characteristics, including race, national origin, sex, marital status, and age.

Attorney General Becerra: Secretary DeVos Puts Predatory For-Profit Schools Ahead of Defrauded Students with Proposed Borrower Defense Regulations
SACRAMENTO — California Attorney General Xavier Becerra today criticized the U.S. Department of Education (Department) and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos for putting the interests of predatory for-profit schools ahead of the students she is sworn to protect. Attorney General Becerra and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, leading a coalition of 20 attorneys general, submitted a comment letter sharply rebuking the Department's proposed changes to its borrower defense regulations. If enacted, these rules would make it more difficult for defrauded students to obtain financial relief, while giving unscrupulous and predatory schools unwarranted protections.
