Women universally hated her, men continued to hold doors for her long after she passed by - just to watch her walk away. To imply that Jessie exuded sex would be an understatement, akin to inferring that water was wet. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the men in Steam Corners wanted her, but she only wanted one man, Spencer Deacon. He was everything that she was not, even-tempered, amicable, well respected and kind. The one thing that Spencer didn't want was Jessie, and his firm and undeniable rejections infuriated her.What followed was a series of sordid events involving murder, deceit, betrayal and the conviction of an innocent man.

It was the worst two-week killing spree in Ohio's history.On the night of July 21, 1948, Robert Daniels and John West entered John and Nolena Niebel's house with loaded guns. They forced the family including the Niebel's 21-year-old daughter, Phyllis, into their car and drove them to a cornfield just off Fleming Falls Road in Mansfield. The two men instructed the Niebels to remove all of their clothing, and then Robert Daniels shot each of them in the head. The brutal murders caught national attention in the media, but the killing spree didn't stop there. Three more innocent people would lose their lives at the hands of Daniels and West in the coming week. Scott Fields tirelessly researched the killings, the capture and trial of Daniels and even interviewed a surviving member of the Niebel family to weave this tragic story into a must-read novel bringing the reader back to those dark days in the summer of 1948. What led to these brutal killings, and why was the Niebel family singled-out to be savagely murdered? It has been more than sixty years since the tragedy, and, yet, this question still remains unanswered. The killing spree is not only remembered to this day, but is an important and dark part of Mansfield lore.

Asher Yaron presents a chronological case study of how coffee has evolved from its initial discovery as a medicinal substance by its early users, to the present day where it has been co-opted and controlled by major corporations for the purpose of profit. Mr. Yaron looks at the 3 major 'Waves", or epochs, of coffee's evolution. Beginning with the 1st Wave and the commercial distribution of coffee throughout the world, into the 2nd Wave which mainly focused on Espresso equipment and the role of the Barista, and into the current 3rd Wave which concentrates on growing origins and micro-roasting. He also presents a case for the future of coffee, the coming 4th Wave, the fresh roasting revolution, in which he foresees the home roasting phenomenon going viral.
