Welcome to the Oklahoma Mentor Network!
The Oklahoma Mentor Network has developed and piloted a high quality, three-year mentoring program that is consistent, replicable, and sustainable throughout the state of Oklahoma. Elements of the mentoring program include:
Innovations of this model include a partnership of universities, a state agency, and a teacher organization along with formative assessments based on the Oklahoma Professional Teacher Competencies.
The Oklahoma Mentor Network (OMN) training prepares mentors to diagnose the needs of beginning teachers and to select the appropriate method of response based on the beginning teachers needs. The three primary modes of response are consultative, collaborative, and coaching. Mentors work in a consultative mode when beginning teachers need advice and in a collaborative role when approaching a task or problem as partners. However, the ultimate goal of mentor-beginning teacher interactions is for mentors to assume a coaching role in which they are helping beginning teachers build reflective skills that enhance their teaching practice.
Whatever role the mentor assumes, he/she uses the tools of coaching, such as building trust and rapport, making non-judgmental responses, paraphrasing, making positive presuppositions, using productive listening, asking clarifying and mediative questions, and capitalizing on teachable moments. Though OMN mentors learn to use these skills in formal pre- and post-data conversations, they are also encouraged to use them in informal conversations with their beginning teachers.
About the Oklahoma Mentor Network
The Oklahoma Mentor Network (OMN) is a project of theOklahoma Commission for Teacher Preparation, Oklahoma Education Association, Oklahoma State University, and the University of Oklahoma. The OMN seeks to assist beginning teachers, mentors, and school leaders to provide critical training and support designed to help all teachers be successful in the classroom.
Oklahoma's mentoring program is focused on improving student achievement through innovative methods, such as ongoing assessments that link a teacher's overall development to student behaviors and learning. Components of the Oklahoma mentoring program include:
School districts involved in the three year Oklahoma Mentoring Network Mentoring include Geary, Newcastle, North Rock Creek, Purcell, Putnam City, Shawnee, South Rock Creek, Westville, Whitebead, Ardmore, Byng, Lawton, Mid-Del, Sulphur, Perkins/Tryon, Watts, Duncan, Norman, Muskogee, and Edmond. Universities involved include East Central University, University of Central Oklahoma, University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University.
Investments in new teachers have a great impact on the quality of students' learning. Mentoring programs that enhance the capacity of new teachers increase student achievement. For more information about how the OMN is impacting the quality of schools and student learning in Oklahoma, contact:

Spheric Universe Experience
The New Eve
October 2012
Released: 2012, Nightmare Records
Rating: 4.5/5
Reviewer: Waspman
France's Spheric Universe Experience has been very in their decade of existence. In a genre (prog-metal) that often sees huge gaps between albums, the band has managed to release three high-quality albums since 2006 without ever repeating themselves or sounding stale. Quite an accomplishment. THE NEW EVE represents the next step forward for the band, and is perhaps their greatest triumph yet.
The band's base of Dream Theater-inspired prog is still intact, but they've managed to stretch their musical wings, incorporating power metal, hints of thrash, and even hard rock to come up with a frankly powerful concoction of songs that, while not epic in length, are certainly epic-sounding. The riffs are still undoubtedly prog-based, but there is a straightforwardness to the songs now that makes THE NEW EVE one of the most instantaneously effective prog-metal albums I've ever heard. Take crunchy opener "Shut Up" or the roaring "In This Place" as examples: these songs will grab you right away and you'll still remember them weeks later. What I'm saying is that the band has written their most memorable set of songs ever.
As for the band, Frank Garcia's vocals are as strong as ever, and he's added a more aggressive attitude to his singing that really befits some of the heavier songs (i.e. "Self Abuse"). While I would have liked to hear more of John Drai' bass (he's a bit buried in the mix), Vince Benaim and Fred Columbo continue to prove themselves wizard-like on guitars and keyboards respectively. However, the band member that stands out the most is drummer Christophe Briand. He joined the band one album ago (UNREAL), but I didn't really notice him. For this album he's really gone all out and his drums sound absolutely MASSIVE. His masterful performance is impressive indeed.
THE NEW EVE is aptly titled as it's a significant step forward for Spheric Universe Experience. Prog-metal fans definitely need to check this album out – it's a highlight for 2012 for sure.

The latest Audi RS 4 pays homage to the past in many ways. The first RS-branded model from Audi was also a mid-sized model, available only as an Avant wagon.
The RS2 was launched in 1994 as a collaboration between Audi and Porsche. It boasted a 2.2-litre five-cylinder turbo engine making 232kW and could hit 100km/h in 4.8s. Right-hand drive examples are now rare; fewer than 200 were built.
It took five years for Audi to create a successor and establish RS as a brand. The first RS 4 was launched in 2000 and featured a 2.7-litre twin-turbo engine.
Like the RS 2, it was available only as an Avant.
When the RS 4 finished in 2001, Audi extended the RS range to the A6, in sedan and Avant body styles, with a 4.2-litre V8 engine. In 2006 came the second-generation RS 4, also in sedan and Avant, with a new direct-injection 4.2-litre V8 powerplant. Many consider this to be the best RS, thanks to incisive steering and a responsive chassis.
In 2008 Audi switched back to an RS 6 - this time with a monster 5-litre V10 engine derived from its Lamborghini subsidiary.
Until then, Audi had a policy of only producing one RS model at a time, in strictly limited runs. This changed in 2009 with the five-cylinder TT RS, launched while the RS 6 was still on sale.
The family now has four models: RS 3, RS 4, RS 5 and TT RS. It will be five with a new RS 6 next year.
Audi's RS brand doesn't quite have the history of BMW M or Mercedes-Benz AMG (both date back four decades), but it has grown at an astonishing pace in the past few years. That first RS 2 was a strictly limited-edition model: just 2908 examples were built. In the 18 years since, more than 23,000 RS 2/4 models have been sold.

An invitation to beta test Battlefield 3 will be included in a Medal of Honor Limited Edition that will also include additional perks, announces Electronic Arts, the first overt confirmation of development of the next installment in DICE's military shooter series other than an offhand reference to investors by EA's John Pleasants and another comment by Fredrik Liliegren, co-founder and former CEO of DICE. EA Games and the Medal of Honor Website have a bit more on the BF3 beta offer, which for some reason is contingent on the launch of testing within twelve months of the release of Medal of Honor, currently scheduled for Oct. 12, 2010 in North America and Oct. 15 in Europe. Here is the stipulation: "Beta offer is contingent on Beta availability within 12 months of Medal of Honor release. Beta will be available for a limited time only and offer expires upon close of Beta events. Participation in Beta requires acceptance of Beta Agreement. Must be 18+. Xbox GOLD membership required for Xbox users. Check this site for further details when available."

And the apostrophe needs to be added to all instances in the legend and map. These are things that can be fixed in graphics, but you might think about getting them fixed now.
I think you need to do something to make the door colors more distinguishable. Perhaps have the outlines of the rooms the color, or make the backgrounds have the tint needed or something. But this could be just be me and my colorblindness.
You have a knife (+1 auto) in Hallway 11, but that's also a -2 decay. You'll need to do something about that. In fact, this seems to be theme throughout the map. 5 Hallways are given +2 each, but each one is a -2 decay. I would probably remove these bonuses (the top 2 boxes) since you already have an unusually high tert count bonus. I also don't like that normal rooms decay by 1; seems like an unnecessary amount of work for a playet to keep up with. I like the hallway decay though, but I do think you should trim the amount of total hallways. Hallway 20 for instance provides access to 8 rooms where Hallways 16-19 only provide access to 1 room each, etc.
The antidotes should probably be made more distinguishable. And if the point of this map is to escape this virus, I think the antidote should have a more central role in the GP, don't you think? Maybe make holding an antidote a conditional border to getting to the Helipad. Additionally, the molotov cocktails seem a little out of place and I don't think they add anything to the GP. Of course, this is zombie related, and there is no antidote after you've been bitten, so perhaps they can be removed altogether.
The Atriums take up a large portion of the central part of the map but have little relevancy in the gameplay of the map. The blue card can be had by Sec 1 and Admin 6, and there is only a beretta in the Atrium 1. Is there a chance you can get rid of Hallway 9 & 10 and perhaps funnel the winning condition through the Atrium? And maybe just trim it down to only 1 region instead of 3 of them.
What are your thoughts?

The Oceania Regional Office for IUCN has joined hands with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) to help coordinate the first Pacific Climate Change Festival in Suva, Fiji during the week of 22 September.
The Film Festival is the third and final phase of the Pacific Climate Change Film Project, which was organised by SPREP and the British High Commission, Suva. The Pacific Climate Change Film Project commissioned short films made by participants in the project from Fiji, Kiribati, Tonga Vanuatu and Tuvalu. Independent filmmakers from Samoa and the Cook Islands also took part in this project and have submitted entries.
The first phase of the project involved bringing the participants together to learn about Climate change and related issues, as well as the technical aspects of documentary filmmaking. The second phase involved the production of a short film telling their story on climate change. The Pacific Climate Change Film Festival represents the third and final phase, where the hard work of the participants will be shared with a regional and international audience.
The stories on climate change in the Pacific, captured on film by Pacific islanders, will give a unique perspective to the Film Festival. Simply told, the affects of Climate Change are impacting upon the lives of those in the Pacific.
Regional Director for IUCN in Oceania, Taholo Kami, is pleased to be able to support the British High Commission Suva and SPREP to help bring these Pacific stories to light through the Festival.
"This is an opportunity for IUCN to further support the work of organisations in the region," he said. "These partnerships add value to current work and help make the best use of limited resources in the region."
The films will help raise understanding of climate change and global warming issues amongst Pacific island communities.
Says Tonga participant, Ofa ki Levuka Guttenbeil, "While our people know it is a serious issue, connecting the dots between the impacts of climate change and everyday living is still in its infancy in Tonga. Still, adaptation and mitigation measures are already being carried out by some of our communities, and these are the stories I want to share with the rest of the world."

Watkins played a major role in the creation of the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden
A memorial service is planned Sunday at Airlie Gardens for Bruce Watkins, a Wilmington businessman and conservationist who negotiated land deals for the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust.
Watkins, 59, died of a heart attack Wednesday in Elkin, N.C., where he had been co-owner and manager of the Stone Mountain Golf Course at Traphill.
For more than a decade, Watkins was a land protection specialist with the Land Trust, a Wilmington-based nonprofit devoted to conserving lands of scenic, recreational or environmental value.
"We wouldn't have the Brunswick Nature Park without Bruce," said Camilla Herlevich, executive director of the Land Trust. "We wouldn't have our preservation corridor along Town Creek."
Watkins also played a major role in the creation of the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden near Alderman Elementary School in Wilmington, Herlevich said.
As a land protection specialist, Watkins negotiated real estate deals, occasionally buying land and arranging conservation easements. Under such easements, owners can farm or harvest timber on their property, but future development is prohibited. In return, the owners receive some valuable considerations, including federal income tax deductions and reductions in property taxes.
"Bruce could talk to anybody," Herlevich said, from bankers and professors to farmers.
She credited Watkins with helping to arrange the Land Trust's co-ownership of Lea Island with the Audubon Society of North Carolina. He also negotiated with International Paper to obtain conservation easements on land along Town Creek in Brunswick County, helping to preserve the quality of the waterway.
Peter Bruce Watkins was born April 16, 1954, in Wilmington, the son of Peter Judson Watkins III and the former Patricia Frazier. He graduated from New Hanover High School, where he was captain of the tennis team, in 1972, and earned a bachelor's degree in English education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1976.
Returning home, Watkins joined the family hardware business, where he met his future wife, Pamela Walker. The two were married in 1982 at Queenstown, New Zealand.
Watkins launched his own hardware and fixtures business, Bruce Watkins Supply, in 1985. He sold his interest in the company in the 1990s, but it still bears his name. He purchased his interest in the Stone Mountain Course seven years ago.
In addition to his work with the Coastal Land Trust, Watkins was a co-founder of the Cape Fear River Watch, and a former board member with Community Boys and Girls Clubs.
An avid sportsman, Watkins was longtime coach of the U.S. East Surf Kayak team. In 2002, he organized the American Canoe Association's first U.S. National Surf-Kayak Tournament at Shell Island Resort on Wrightsville Beach, which drew more than 50 entrants from across the East Coast.
Survivors include his wife, son Jud Watkins and daughter Casey Watkins.
A memorial service is planned at 2:30 p.m. Sunday on the Bradley Creek lawn of Airlie Gardens.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the N.C. Methodist Home for Children, the Community Boys and Girls Club or the oyster restoration fund of the N.C. Coastal Federation.

A downed Amtrak overhead power wire, which slowed much of Boston's commuter rail and Amtrak transit this morning, could also affect the evening commute, officials said.
Passengers on 39 inbound and 22 outbound trains on six commuter rail lines, as well as six Amtrak trains, experienced delays this morning ranging from 20 minutes to more than an hour during peak service hours.
The cause was a downed wire on the Amtrak line at the Forest Hills station in Hyde Park, officials said.
When Acela Train 2151 bound for New York passed at 5:45 a.m., its overhead catenary wire fell, knocking out power for the line and the train itself, which was "blocking one of the mainline tracks in and out of South Station," said Scott Farmelant, spokesman for the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Co., which runs commuter service for the MBTA.
The live wire prompted officials to shut down tracks between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m., Farmelant said, which is why passengers on the Fairmount, Franklin/Forge Park, Needham, Providence, Stoughton, and Framingham/Worcester lines experienced delays of seven to 58 minutes for "every single train during peak hours," Farmelant said.
"The MBTA commuter rail shares lines with other train carriers, which means shared problems," Farmelant said.
As of 10:30 a.m., one Amtrak line was out of service with crews in the process of repairing the downed line, said Amtrak spokesman Cliff Cole, who said he expects repairs to be completed this afternoon. Farmelant said he expected residual delays throughout the day.
As of 12:30 p.m., three MBTA lines were still feeling delays, with trains running 10 to 25 minutes behind schedule on the Framingham/Worcester, Franklin/Forge Park, and Newburyport/Rockport lines.
Residual delays also will come into play for passengers going in and out of Boston on Amtrak.
"People traveling between Boston and New York may experience delays of several hours," Cole said.Lauren Dezenski can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

If you managed to intentionally hold off on getting Fallout: New Vegas this long, you ought to be congratulated on your restraint. As announced previously, the game's Ultimate Edition will be making the rounds in North America on February 7 and Europe on February 10.
As one would expect, this retail package bundles New Vegas with its downloadable content. For those not keeping track, that'd be "Dead Money," "Honest Hearts," "Old World Blues," "Lonesome Road," plus "Courier's Stash" and "Gun Runners Arsenal."

Just want to say a big "thank you" for the elementary coding articles in the last two mags. This is something I have been looking for, for ages. I used to code BASIC and assembly language on my C64 back in the day but haven't known how to even make a start (programming), using Linux. It has been really frustrating for me as there appears to be a huge gap from BASIC to Python, C etc.
I always thought the best way to learn to program was to sit and type in listings from mags. OK so it was tedious and seldom worked but it was an experience in learning syntax and debugging. It was hands-on and practical.
The biggest hurdle I find nowadays is syntax! I look through source files and ask myself "why is there a set of empty brackets there?" or "why does that word begin with a small letter and have a capital letter in the middle?"
How does one go about learning the syntax of a language? Years ago, you picked up the manual that came with the computer and looked in the appendix for all the info you needed.
Graham, you're doing a great job with this but remember to keep it simple. People like me are reading it Also a suggestion for you... and the end of each article you could leave a task for the readers. Kinda like a homework
PS if anyone could point me to any other article / book, that deals with programming at this primitive level, I'd really appreciate it.

See on Scoop.it – Vous saurez tous sur wordpress ou presque…
Pinterest over the last 6 months has become the social network with buzz and it provides a visual platform that offers an ecosystem to experiment and play with images as a means of marketing and engagement and even selling.
I walked into an electronics store the other day and happened to pass the television department.
The 70 inch televisions with high definition flat screens were displaying videos so compelling that for a minute or two I just stood there watching images so sharp and mesmerizing that I just stopped and watched.
The vibrant colors and high contrast were almost hypnotic.
It was only ten years ago and a flat screen TV half that size was $20,000.
Now everyone has at least a 42 inch plasma or LCD screen and that is in the smallest room in the house!

I have an embedded webapplet on my site using <object data="webapplet"> .
The problem is i can't access the script of the applet as it is automatically generated by a building monitoring software.
The stupid scripts makes it steal focus and putting itself on top no matter what i do.
(The person who designed that webapplet should be shot :mad
It's driving me crazy.
Is there anyway to block the embedded applet from accessing it's parent?
So it's not able to change it's z-index and steal focus anymore?
I was able to put in some interactivity with $(window).on(somevent,function).
Put for some reason that doesn't work with firefox on linux when my cursor hovers over the object.
It works fine on windows btw.

Two 47-foot patrol boats ferried representatives of the Coast Guard, State Legislature, Army Corps of Engineers, and East Hampton Town into the Montauk Harbor Inlet on Friday to show them what they couldn't see, and, they hoped, couldn't feel — a sand shoal that has made it dangerous for Montauk's fishing fleet and the Coast Guard's search and rescue boats to get in and out of the harbor.
The tour was not long, but it seemed to elicit a new commitment from officials to come up with a fix. "I'm confident we can get it done," Representative Tim Bishop said during a post-tour conference at the Montauk Coast Guard Station.
This winter's storms have accelerated the flow of sand from the east side of the harbor's jetties into the inlet, increasing the shoal. The storms, and down-drift scouring from the jetties, also are blamed for worsening the already serious erosion of beach and dune to the west. The erosion has spawned a multi-million-dollar lawsuit by residents of Montauk's Soundview community.
Among those on Friday's tour in addition to Mr. Bishop were Rear Admiral Daniel A. Neptun, commander of the Coast Guard's first district, State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr., East Hampton Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson, Councilwoman Julia Prince, Joseph Olha and Stephen Couch of the Army Corps of Engineers, and Senior Chief Jason Walters, commanding officer of the Montauk Coast Guard Station. Capt. Bill Grimm and Capt. Richie Jones, commercial fishermen representing the Inlet Seafood group, also attended, pointing out the danger they, and other mariners, face.
The inlet was last dredged in 2009 and was not scheduled to be worked on again until 2013. "It's obvious the timetable will not suffice. The survey indicates that shoaling has accelerated. It's our challenge to work with the Army Corps to identify funds so dredging can take place in 2011," Mr. Bishop said.
Mr. Bishop said the corps had "responded immediately" once it learned of the danger and the impact on the fishing fleet. However, he cautioned: "This is not a lay-up. It will mean a reallocation of Army Corps funds to deal with this emergency." He said the cost of the emergency dredging would be "north of seven figures."
"It's imperative it gets done in 2011," Assemblyman Thiele said. He added that he had introduced a bill to spark a state response, which included matching funds to increase the depth of the channel. Mr. Thiele said it was important to have the corps dredge the inlet at least two or three feet deeper than previously to account for the "dynamics of storms," and to add the extra sand to the eroded beaches to the west.
"If we can make the connection between a government expenditure and saving jobs, it will help. The landings of fish between Shinnecock and Montauk are greater than in Boston," Mr. Thiele pointed out.
"It's important to know we can lean on the federal and state. They have been here and are responsive to the erosion and safety problems," Supervisor Wilkinson said. "If our fishing boats don't get into port and go to Rhode Island to [pack out] we lose on the economic level."
Mr. Olha showed the group a bathymetric survey of the inlet, completed last week. It confirms that the shoal stretches from the east jetty near the harbor mouth to the south and west into the center of the channel, where the depth has decreased from 12 feet, as shown on charts, to just 7 feet in places. And it shows that the shoaling has created an extremely narrow navigable channel.
He said it was estimated that dredging the shoal to 12 feet would remove between 12,000 and 16,000 cubic yards of sand. An additional 3,500 cubic yards could be removed if a deeper channel were authorized. Mr. Olha said the State Department of Environmental Conservation would have to approve an increase beyond the 1,000 foot length of the beach to the west of the inlet, the current limit of approved beach restoration.
Bonnie Brady, executive director of the Long Island Commercial Fishing Association, asked if the Army Corps could also look into "leaks" in the inlet's eastern jetty, which, she said, seems to accelerate shoaling.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis. (WEAU) -- People across the nation and right here in the Chippewa Valley are gathering this weekend to mark Veterans Day.
Making sure no veteran is forgotten on this day, a special ceremony was held for residents at a local nursing home.
WEAU 13 News was there as World War II vets were thanked for their service.
Residents and their families came together Sunday morning at Pine View Care Center in Black River Falls.
The local post of the American Legion put on the special ceremony for resident veterans.
Ken Schoolcraft said it's their mission to thank vets no matter where they live.
"We don't want the veterans to feel like they're forgotten," Schoolcraft said.
13 World War II veterans reside at Pine View and staff said that's a high number for a center of its size.
Public Relations Director Mary Woods said the vets are a source of pride for the nursing home.
"They signify a very important part of our lives and freedom," Woods said.
Each one of them is a witness to history.
Bill Adams was stationed at Pearl Harbor on that fateful day in 1941 when the base was bombed by Japan.
His ship was spared on December 7, but the next day?
"They pulled out a 500 pound bomb that didn't go off. It was directly under our ship. We were blessed that nothing bad happened to us," Adams said.
Harold Ludemar also served in the Pacific in World War II.
He said Veterans Day is important, because it helps people remember the horrible ordeals service members had to go through to continue our way of life.
"Some of them have been through an awful lot. I was under fire a few times from the Japanese," Ludemar said.
But it goes beyond Veterans Day.
Local school kids often visit the center to hear stories from the greatest generation.
"They talk to them and have some good lessons of life from those veterans," Woods said.

Remember reflector requirements along highways
Property owners along state highways are reminded to use only blue or clear reflectors when marking driveway entrances and other objects on highway rights of way, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT).
People installing reflectors on the highway right of way need to follow these guidelines:
● Reflectors posted near mailboxes and driveways should be blue or clear in color and at least three inches wide.
● Reflectors should be double-sided and positioned so they can be seen from both directions.
● Driveway reflectors should be posted at least 12 feet from the outside edge of the shoulder and no more than five feet above the ground to reduce the chances of being covered by snow when the road is plowed.
● Reflectors should never be placed on mailboxes or permanent posts, including red and orange colored reflectors and any type of reflective tape. Motorists may confuse reflectors with vehicle lights.

Book Review
Sándor Márai's Beloved Hungarian Novel
Esther's Inheritance
The story of Esther's Inheritance's English publication is as intriguing as the tale of guilt and ghosts that the novella tells. Author Sándor Márai was popular in his native Hungary, but his antifacist beliefs made him a target for the Communists who took over the country in 1945. They banned Márai's books and destroyed all copies, including 1939's Esther's Inheritance. The author fled in 1948 and ended up in America, where he lived in relative anonymity until he committed suicide in 1989. French translations of Marai's work surfaced in the mid-1990s, reintroducing Márai's writing to the world of publication.
Márai dealt with political persecution; the title character of Esther's Inheritance faces interpersonal and familial battles. Time has a way of transforming regret from an emotion into a being, a presence more dominant than any corporeal human.
Though Esther narrates her own account, her history does not become maudlin, despite its questionable reliability. Esther begins her story with a telegram signaling the return of her dead sister Vilma's estranged husband. Vilma married Lajos, the man Esther loved, and led the life Esther coveted. Vilma's offenses, like most things in the story, have grown more transgressive in retrospect, not least of all because Lajos wrote love letters to Esther in the weeks before his marriage to her sister, begging her to elope.
Since regret, guilt and the life unrequited are the default modes of operation for most characters of this early twentieth-century novella, everyone's motives are not merely suspect, they are prone to subjection through memory. Lajos, who is a liar, swindler and a cheat, is the family member everyone loves to hate. But Esther's gentle narrative cannot condemn him, even twenty years after Vilma's death frees him to roam the world with their children rather than make a life that includes Esther. Esther's timidity to allows her to articulate what about Lajos is loathsome while being unable to extract herself from his influence.
Through Esther's obsessively retrospective first-
The prose in this edition, translated from Hungarian by George Szirtes, does suffer the occasional translation hiccup, but it's never egregious enough to distract from the compelling stream of "what if"s Márai puts in Esther's narrative. By pulling focus successfully between Esther's present, past, and everything bound up in between, Márai successfully conveys the slow burn of regret that even time can't ameliorate.

Genealogy is a learning game. You will never know everything you need to know. Basics are important, but as your research progresses, so must your knowledge. This can be geography, history, law and more.
If you don't know legal terms, look them up. There's great places to check on Internet, or you can always refer to Black's Law Dictionary found in many libraries. Don't know the history of states or counties. There's plenty to find on Internet or in books such as the Redbook, American State, County and Town Sources, published by Ancestry. This too can be found in many libraries that have genealogical collections. If you already own it, read it! One of my favorite places for maps is The Newberry Library's Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
Do you want to travel, do genealogical research and learn all at the same time? Want to meet genealogists, make new friends and converse with the experts? Plan on attending a Family History Expo in 2010.
I am leaving tomorrow for the Colorado Family History Expo in Loveland, CO. Check this blog often as I will be an Honor Blogger. I'm pleased to report to you about the latest happenings at the Expo. There will be well known speakers and popular vendors, such as Family Insight, Ancestry.com, RootsMagic, Legacy Family Tree, and Family Roots Publishing. If you are attending the Loveland Expo, be sure to stop by and say hi ... I will share my jelly beans!
YGGG #2 - Cheri is vacationing with Go Hubby. She is reading genealogy files while they camp and also making plans to attend the Family History Expo in Kansas City next month. We are going to be so well educated. We are also making genealogy memories in 2010.

Elders of Northrend
A host of Northrend elders joined the holiday when Wrath of the Lich King launched, so you'll need to make the trek to the snowy north. I've listed them all in rough counterclockwise order going around the continent (from Borean Tundra to Dragonblight, Grizzly Hills, Zul'Drak, Storm Peaks, Wintergrasp, to Sholazar Basin). There are no elders in Icecrown or Howling Fjord. If your class is capable of soloing normal dungeons (or at least surviving them long enough to reach an elder inside, which should be doable at level 85), by all means hit the relevant Northrend dungeons for elders while you make your way around the continent.
Because Northrend hasn't been affected (much) by Cataclysm, the coordinates below should still be accurate.
- Northal the Elder 33,34 in the Transitus Shield (Coldarra, Borean Tundra)
- Pamuya the Elder 43,49 outside Warsong Hold (Borean Tundra)
- Sardis the Elder 59,65 outside Valiance Keep (Borean Tundra)
- Arp the Elder 57,43 at D.E.H.T.A. (Borean Tundra)
- Morthie the Elder 30,56 in Star's Rest (Dragonblight)
- Skywarden the Elder 35,48 at Agmar's Hammer (Dragonblight)
- Thoim the Elder 48,78 at Mo'aki Harbor (Dragonblight)
- Whurain the Elder 64,47 at Camp Oneqwah (Grizzly Hills)
- Lunaro the Elder 80,37 in Ruins of Tethys (Grizzly Hills)
- Beldak the Elder 60,27 at Westfall Brigade Encampment (Grizzly Hills)
- Tauros the Elder 58,56 in Zim'Torga (Zul'Drak)
- Graymane the Elder 41,84 at K3 (Storm Peaks)
- Fargal the Elder 28,73 in Frosthold (Storm Peaks)
- Muraco the Elder 64,51 in Camp Tunka'lo (Storm Peaks)
- Stonebeard the Elder 31,37 at Bouldercrag Refuge (Storm Peaks)
- Bluewolf the Elder 49,19 in the fortress in Wintergrasp
- Wanikaya the Elder 64,50 at the Avatar of Freya (Sholazar Basin)
- Sandrene the Elder 50,63 at Lakeside Landing (Sholazar Basin)
Not only are elders in the open world, but they're in the instanced world as well. We heard recently through the tip line that players without this achievement already completed in 2010 may have had it wiped in the rollover to the new expansion, so if you were at work on this when the Lunar Festival ended last year, you may have to start from scratch.
- Zul'Farrak: Wildmane the Elder By the pool where you summon Gahz'rilla.
- Maraudon: Splitrock the Elder Take the port to second half of the instance, then head for the Princess. Drop down into the lake where Rotgrip is located, and swim up to the ramp. Because this probably makes no sense, a Wowhead user created a map.
- Sunken Temple: Starsong the Elder Up the spiral staircase on your left immediately upon entering the instance.
- Blackrock Depths: Morndeep the Elder Located smack in the center of the Ring of Law.
- Stratholme: Farwhisper the Elder If you have the key to the service entrance, zone in there, hang a left through the Elder Square Gate, and then follow the road to the right. If you don't have the key, zone in, hang a left, continue to your right through the Market Square Gate, andtake a right once you're through the Gate (you'll have to kill a bunch of rats while you're in the Market Square Gate).
- Lower Blackrock Spire: Stonefort the Elder Finding this guy is a pain in the ass, but the Wowhead user Pallybeb had a good set of instructions even if you're completely new to the instance.
- Utgarde Keep: Jarten the Elder In the first room with a staircase (between first and second bosses), in the alcove to the left.
- Nexus: Igasho the Elder In Ormorok's room.
- Azjol-Nerub: Nurgen the Elder In the pond area after the drop following Hadronox.
- Drak'tharon Keep: Kilias the Elder In King Dred's enclosure.
- Gun'drak: Ohanzee the Elder Ohanzee was once located in Eck's room, requiring Gun'drak to be done on heroic difficulty (as Eck is only accessible there). He's now been moved to the room with the Drakkari Colossus (second boss).
- Halls of Stone: Yurauk the Elder Just before Krystallus.
- Utgarde Pinnacle: Chogan'gada the Elder Underneath the staircase that you go down after killing Skadi the Ruthless.
50 Coins of Ancestry
Each elder to whom you speak will give you a Coin of Ancestry, so getting this achievement will happen as a matter of course. In case you're curious, there are 75 elders available.
Lunar Festival Finery
The Coins that the elders will give you can be used to purchase clothing and items from holiday vendors. For this achievement, you'll have to talk to one vendor in particular -- Valadar Starsong, located at 53,35 in Moonglade (the wooden platform overlooking Lake Elune'ara on the eastern side of Nighthaven). For any of the clothing items, you'll have to fork over 5 coins, but you only need to buy one for the achievement. It's among WoW's prettiest holiday-related clothing, and lots of players wind up keeping them (I know I did, much to the everlasting irritation of the overworked Orgrimmar bankers).
The Rocket's Red Glare
First things first -- you'll need 10 Red Rocket Clusters. These can be purchased from any Lunar Festival Vendor for 1 silver each (so 10 silver total), or -- if you're an engineer or know one -- made by engineers who buy the Schematic: Red Rocket Cluster from Fariel Starsong (next to Valadar Starsong in Moonglade at the coordinates given above). Generally it's cheaper and faster to buy the rockets from a vendor, though.
All set? You'll have to find a "cluster launcher" in order to shoot these off. These can be found in the festival areas of any major city. Mosey on over, hotkey the Red Rocket Clusters you've bought, and spam, spam, spam. Be forewarned that the clusters do trigger the global cooldown, and latency also has an effect. If you're used to playing with ugly latency, don't do this at server high time and/or find one of your faction's more deserted cities.
Frenzied Firecracker
This is an easier version of The Rocket's Red Glare. Festival Firecrackers can be purchased from any Lunar Festival vendor for 3 silver each (so 30 silver total). Got them? Hotkey them the same way you did for the Red Rocket Clusters, and spam the hotkey while alternating mouse-clicks to target them (they can't be fired without being targeted). As with The Rocket's Red Glare, try not to do this during a busy period on your server if you tend to suffer from bad latency.
Elune's Blessing
Omen is a boss who appears in Moonglade only during the Lunar Festival. Valadar Starsong -- yep, the same NPC who will sell you Lunar Festival duds -- will give you a quest called Elune's Blessing. Once you've got it, you'll need to trek to the southeastern portion of Moonglade around the Stormrage Barrow Dens and -- if Omen's not already dead or in combat with other players -- "summon" him by tossing cluster rockets into the cluster launchers that line the shore of the lake.
If you've never done Omen before, he's essentially a tank-and-spank with a cleave (melee beware) and some occasional raid damage by way of an AoE Starfall ability. He doesn't hit hard, but tanks will need to be vigilant to keep moving him out of Starfall unless you want your healer/s to spend a lot of time healing otherwise avoidable damage. Omen doesn't have an enrage timer and can technically be duoed by a tank-and-healer pair, though I'm not sure I'd recommend that now, given that we're in the earliest tier of Cataclysm content. His health also doesn't reset if you fail to kill him; simply resurrect at the nearby graveyard and head back for another try.
Directly after he dies, a large moonbeam will appear on the corpse, and anyone who steps within it will receive Elune's Blessing and complete the quest. Even if your toon's a lowbie, you can still easily get the quest done as long as someone else has recently killed Omen (lowbie characters can also buy Elune's Candles from Starsong and toss them at Omen for about 1K damage a pop). If you're on the quest and come upon someone else trying to kill him, though, it's considered polite to help DPS him down.
Omen raids tend to be quite popular early in the holiday and then taper off as time goes by. If you're mostly a solo player or have to depend on someone else's good graces to get a kill, I'd advise making this achievement a priority.

Northern Nevada's most popular craft beer is now available in bottles. In an effort to keep up with growing demand Great Basin Brewing Company has launched a high-speed bottling line at their Taps and Tanks location on South McCarran in East Reno.
Thursday was the first run for the equipment. Crews packaging a tank of their popular "icky" brew in the morning.
By the afternoon it was time to take on a tank of "Wild Horse".
Brewmaster Tom Young says the new high speed machine means the process doesn't take long. "Every seven seconds a bottle comes off that line when it's running at full blast," he says "we're actually running a little slower today to make sure we've got everything working properly, but when you fire it up, it will be pretty fast."
Young says since he started brewing in the early 1990's the demand for craft beer has doubled. He hopes this faster bottling system will allow them to keep up with the market, and expand further into neighboring states.
The public is invited to come into Great Basin Taps & Tanks, located on E. McCarran between Rock Blvd. and Mira Loma, during taproom hours, Thursday through Saturday 3pm-7pm, to view the new high-speed bottling line.
Great Basin will give away the first case of beer bottled from the new line to the winner of a raffle held at 6pm on May 9, 2013 at Taps & Tanks.
Winner need not be present to win. Brewery patrons will receive one entry for the raffle for every pint purchased from now until May 4, 2013 at the Great Basin Taps & Tanks location.
Great Basin beer, distributed by Southern Wine and Spirits, is currently available at both Great Basin brewery-restaurant locations, at their Taps & Tank location, and at over 400 restaurants, bars and retail stores in northern Nevada.

PPG has reached an agreement with BASF Corp. to acquire its North American coil and extrusion coatings (COEX) business. The agreement does not include the COEX businesses of BASF SE in Europe, South America and Asia.
BASF's North American COEX business serves the construction; appliance; transportation; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC); lighting fixture; and extrusion industries. The business operates manufacturing sites in Decatur, AL, and Monterrey, Mexico, as well as a production line in Belvidere, NJ. The business employs approximately 200 people.
PPG will acquire BASF inventory, its customer list and book of business as well as various patents and trade names associated with acquired products. BASF will continue to supply products from Decatur, Belvidere and Monterrey under a manufacturing supply agreement for 11-12 months, after which BASF will close the Decatur facility and the Belvidere facility's Plastisol line.
Production from the Decatur and Belvidere operations will transfer to PPG's Springdale, PA, plant where approximately $8 million will be spent to install equipment needed for the consolidation.
"PPG is intent on retaining the technical and sales capabilities of BASF," said William A. Wulfsohn, PPG senior vice president, coatings. "As a result, the combination of BASF and PPG will better enable us to provide innovative technologies, high-quality products and superior customer service."

The College of Visual and Performing Arts at Northern Illinois University received a $2,500 grant from the DeKalb County Community Foundation to help bring the Arts Midwest World Fest to DeKalb County during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years.
Working with the superintendents and other representatives of school districts in DeKalb, Sycamore and Sandwich, college dean Rich Holly said he is excited about Arts Midwest World Fest coming to the county.
"Arts Midwest World Fest will bring four internationally touring music acts to DeKalb County, one per semester, over the next two school years," he said in a news release. "Each of the four partners – NIU, DeKalb schools, Sycamore schools and Sandwich schools – will have each group in residence for one full day, teaching the students about the music of the country from which they hail."
Holly noted that this is a unique opportunity not only due to the great exposure the students will have to these artists and their music, but also to learn about the customs and culture of other lands.
In addition to spending several days working with school children and NIU students, each group will perform a public concert at the end of their one-week residency.
The first group to appear as part of Arts Midwest World Fest will be Bandolino, from Israel, in September. In January, La Vent du Nord, from Quebec, will be in residence. The groups for the following school year will be from China and Brazil.
As more specific details become known about each group's appearance and their public concert, promotional notices and materials will be sent to area news outlets.

While we tend to focus on tablets and smartphones here at IntoMobile, the orignal form of mobile computing – laptops – are getting a real boost with the ultrabook form factor. We're here live at a Dell and Intel event to show off the new Dell XPS 13 ultrabook, so let's follow along for the kick off event.
For those of you who don't know, the Dell XPS ultrabook is a 13-inch laptop that's packed with a lot of power in the super sleek form factor. When you see one in real life, it's hard to not compare it to a MacBook Air but the Dell ultrabook can stand out on its own. The bezel-to-bezel display with Gorilla Glass and double-cut aluminum body makes this laptop an early contender for the best-looking laptop of the year.
It's not just beauty though, as the Dell XPS packs an Intel Core i 2nd Generation processor, 4GB RAM and SSD hard drives in 128 GB or 255 GB. We're at the Carte Blanche art gallery in San Francisco and we're hoping to see how these mobile computers can be used in the wild for getting work done in a variety of fields.
The Dell XPS 13 starts at $999 and will be available in February. We'll be updating the live blog continuously throughout the day, so let us know what you want to hear.

Aging in America used to be a pretty straight forward, Point A to Point B kind of thing.
You went to school and then got a job.
You worked for a long time.
You retired at 65.
You went fishing.
You bought the farm.
Well, hold the "Amazing Grace."
The baby boomers are entering yet another stage of life, and if you have been paying attention at all over the past half century or so you know this is a group that is not going to go gently, or quietly, into that good night.
When you talk about this demographic bombshell of some 76 million Americans now between the ages of 48 and 66, the word redefining comes to mind, along with the phrase kicking and screaming.
Maybe their daddy didn't dance and their momma didn't rock and roll at their age, but boomers will be tripping the light fandango and turning cartwheels across the floor … for as long as the hip replacements hold up.
At the Aging in America conference in Washington earlier this month, experts noted that retired — as opposed to retiring — baby boomers are doing such things as going back to school, starting new careers and businesses, pursuing long held dreams, and generally pressing their lives' reset button.
So, no, you aren't going to see boomers rocking on the front porch unless, that is, a vintage Stratocaster is involved.
Baby boomers? How about baby bloomers.
Author Gail Sheehy has dubbed those between the ages of roughly 55 to the early 70s as the "Grand Tweens."
I can't say I'm crazy about the name, but I guess I'd rather be called a tween than a member of Generation X, Y or Z, which sounds too, I don't know, chromosome-ie.
The other advantage of being a tween is that it comes with great built in music possibilities. I'm thinking along the lines of such revamped oldies as Tween Angel or Tweenager in Love. And how about spicing up the evening cocktail hour with a version of Tweenage Wasteland.
Yeah, I'm getting a whiff of the future and — with apologies to Nirvana — it smells like tween spirit.

The 34th annual Lake Park Lancer Joust held Saturday in Roselle is a marching band festival, but everyone involved -- from performers to band directors to pit crew parents to competition organizers -- knows there's much more to the event than stepping across a football field.
For performers, the day is primarily about competing for the first time this season with a new show, remembering under pressure the notes, steps, field placement, even choreography accompanying several movements of music often lasting between 10 and 15 minutes. It's a day when the bands themselves, not the football teams they support with pep music and halftime shows, take center stage.
"Everyone's here to listen to the marching bands," said Becky Steele, drum major of the Waubonsie Valley High School marching Warriors. "You get a lot of goose bumps. ... You can tell at the end if it's a good show by how everyone is smiling."
But Lancer Joust day also is about mastering the art of changing into and out of a multiple-piece uniform in the tight confines of a crowded school bus with dozens of sweaty bandmates. It's balancing atop metal bleachers while holding heavy instruments for several formal band photos and a few silly ones, and scoping out the competition for future shows.
"I love hearing the music from other bands," Steele said.
This year's joust featured 16 bands competing in three size divisions and Lake Park High School's own marching band performing an exhibition show, said Lancer Joust coordinator Jim Wronski, who has been organizing the event for 13 years.
Last year's competition featured 26 bands, but this year's still includes perennial marching powerhouses such as the Prospect High School Marching Knights and the Lincoln-Way East Marching Griffins -- and this year, Prospect edged out Lincoln-Way to win the contest.
"As far as bands that count, all the ones that you'd expect are still here," Wronski said, including the bands from Wheeling, Wheaton North, Elk Grove and Naperville North high schools. "We have several bigger bands and their shows are fantastic."
Naperville North finished ninth in the competition. Waubonsie Valley High School, based in Aurora, finished sixth. Wheeling High School finished fourth.
Supporting the estimated 2,000 marching performers who took to the field Saturday were about 225 volunteers affiliated with Lake Park and hundreds of other parents whose main role is to ensure large percussion equipment makes it to the track around the football field in time for their band's show.
"It's about watching the kids and the parents getting together to figure out how to get all their stuff where it needs to go on time," said Bill Engebretson, parent of Wheeling High School sophomore baritone player Ashley Engebretson.
Wheeling High School's pit crew parents brought a TV to watch football after their kids took the field and before judges chose which bands would make the competition's final round based on their scores for musical and visual effect.
Winning bands were to be listed on lancerjoust.com after the 10:15 p.m. awards ceremony.

Manchester United will face Real Madrid in the tie of the round while Arsenal have a tough game against Bayern Munich and Celtic play Juventus.
In the Europa League, Chelsea have drawn Sparta Prague while Tottenham will face Lyon. Liverpool have been handed a tricky tie with Zenit St Petersburg and Newcastle will have to travel to the Ukraine to take on Metalist.
Players from across the continent have been reacting to those exciting fixtures and if that's not enough for you we've got Christmas pranks at Cardiff and Kevin-Prince Boateng discussing the end of the world in the Word on the Tweet...
"Oh yes, Madrid!! What a great couple a games that'll be!! @Cristiano see u soon bro!!"
Rio Ferdinand can't contain his excitement as Manchester United are pitted against Real Madrid and former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Boooooom.....absolute beauty of a tie...very tough but then they all potentially were..brings back great memories."
Celtic boss Neil Lennon steals a catchphrase straight from Goal towers as he expresses his delight over his side's tie with Juventus.
"United or Madrid.. Who do I want to win? Played my heart out for them both. Proud to have played for both. #impossible #MayTheBestTeamWin."
Ruud van Nistelrooy is in a pickle as he can't quite figure out who to support in the game between Manchester United and Real Madrid.
"We will play against Milan! It will be a great qualifying round! #ChampionsLeague."
Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas states the obvious and tell us who his side are playing, but gets it slightly wrong in calling it the qualifying round. Thanks Cesc, what would we do without you!
"Delighted with the draw. Just can't wait now!"
Celtic midfielder Kris Commons is already counting down the days to their clash with Juventus.
"Manchester United in drawing Real Madrid showing, once again, how important it is to win your group...Oh wait a minute."
Gary Lineker gets facetious as, despite winning their group, Manchester United are handed one of the toughest ties of the round.
"Not an easy draw but a trip to Lyon should be good fun for our fans #RoadToAmsterdam"
Gareth Bale thinks Tottenham supporters might enjoy the trip to Lyon a bit more than the players.
"I don't mind the rain. I don't mind the cold. I don't mind the wind. But I hate 3 of them invited at the same time. Glaglagla."
Sunderland striker Louis Saha cannot get to grips with the weather in the North East. It doesn't get any better in summer either, Louis!
"Christmas dinner time at the stadium... And time for the young lads to sing!!!!!!"
Cardiff City defender Andrew Taylor is taking delight in making the club's younger players to humiliate themselves. Who said Christmas was about good will to all?
"Tough draw but very motivated to play against Bayern Munich!!Looking forward to a great Champions League night at the Emirates!!!"
Mikel Arteta reacts to the news that Arsenal will be playing the mighty Bundesliga leaders and last year's defeated finalists.
"Good Morning...so tomorrow it's the end of the world???what u all think about that??"
AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng knows how to cheer everyone up before Christmas as he predicts the Mayans may be just be right about their doomsday prophecy on Friday.

This is a Duncan Satellite Yo Yo. Duncan was and is THE yo yo company. This model was a popular model originally produced in the late 1950's. It was produced following the satellite frenzy after Russia launched Sputnik 1 in October of 1957. This is an original model with flattened hubs. The text was once gold, but it now mostly exposed wood from where the gold used to be.

Bradley Cooper
Arguments for:
-It's been a good year professionally. Limitless did well. The Hangover 2 did very well.
-He's American
-He's now single having (strategically) split from Renee Zellweger who wouldn't have been very popular with the MiniVan Majority as a girlfriend
-JLo was dealing with him for about 5 minutes
-He would want it. Or, his people would want it for him. I don't know that Limitless was proof that Coop can open alone. They need to market him a lot stronger.
Arguments against:
-Coop's got nothing going on right now. He's filming. They're not pushing for anything immediate.
-JLo dealt with him for about 5 minutes, and then moved on to a backup dancer. Most of that is on her, but some members of the MiniVan Majority have got to be like - what's wrong with this dude?
-And that's what it is: something's missing when it comes to Coop. He's an Almost. But not quite. I can't put it into words, but it's not there, I know you know this.
-His people would want it for him. And would HE want it for him? I think this is what Coop struggles with: wanting to be a big bad Movie Star and hating the sh-t that comes with becoming a Big Bad Movie Star. Maybe that's what the problem is - he's not fully committed to the Life, you know? And you can smell it on him.
Odds: 17 to 1

Sir Alex Ferguson was left fuming last night after Nani missed Manchester United's third successive penalty in their 1-0 Champions League win over Galatasaray.
Patrick Vieira says Manchester City's big spending is over for good. The Premier League champions have spent over £500 million on players since 2008, but Vieira says the club will focus on developing players rather than buying them from now on.
Roberto di Matteo admitted he felt 'deflated' after seeing Chelsea throw away a two goal lead to draw 2-2 in their Champions League opener against Juventus last night.
Arsenal have told Andrey Arshavin that he is free to leave the club, according to the Evening Standard.
Brendan Rodgers has revealed he won't be prioritizing the Europa League, instead opting to focus on the Premier League.
Paul Gascoigne has turned down the chance to attend Tottenham's Europa League game against Lazio tonight. The Spurs legend enjoyed a spell with Lazio in the early 90's but says he unable to attend the fixture for personal reasons.
