Reports coming out that he's dead!
Yeah, just saw this on my facebook, crazy
Farrah Fawcett also just died.
Unconfirmed (Jacko I mean) according to Sky News here, but sounds bad. If you'll pardon the pun.
Too soon?

One man was killed and two others were hospitalized after they were struck by lightning in southwest Miami-Dade Monday, authorities said.
The incident happened around 2 p.m. at 17198 Southwest 212th Street, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
The two survivors were taken by ground to Kendall Regional Medical Center where they were in stable condition.
Friends identified the deceased victim as Andres Telles, who was in his 30s. The other men were identified as Fidelmar Montero and Miguel Lopez
According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials, the men were hiding under a tractor trailer to escape the lightning when the trailer was struck by lightning. It's believed the electrical charge then hit the men.
"We went outside and all three of them were on the ground," said witness Janet Suarez, who said the men were power-washing a truck.
Her son, Dominic Rodriguez, tried to help Telles.
"His body was very hot, his face wasn't a normal color," he said.
Rodriguez said he was able to help Lopez.
"I put my hand behind his head because he was bleeding," Rodriguez said. "When he came back, he didn't remember anything, he was saying in Spanish that he was going to hit me but he didn't know anything."
Officials said the medical examiner will determine the exact cause of death.
The National Weather Service had issued weather advisories for frequent to excessive lightning for portions of Miami-Dade before the incident.
"Anytime you have a thunderstorm, no matter where you are, we do advise individuals to seek some type of shelter, we do recommend that you do not stand underneath a tree or close by metal objects," Miami-Dade Police spokeswoman Robin Pinkard said.

The day-to-day activities of the Cruwys/Cruse one-name study with occasional diversions into other topics of interest such as DNA testing and personal genomics

DNA Projects for the British Isles
English DNA Projects
There are currently very few English geographical projects, and a number of the projects in this list, including my own new Devon project, have only been set up in the last few years. There will no doubt be many new projects established in the months and years to come as more people from the UK get their DNA tested. If anyone is interested in running an English county project and would like some idea of the work involved please get in touch. I would be particularly interested in hearing from anyone who might be interested in setting up a Somerset project as I have a number of people who have expressed an interest in joining such a project. The following is a list of all known active projects for English counties and regions:
Birmingham and West Midlands mtDNA Project
Project members must have a paper trail back to Birmingham or those areas close by in the West Midlands (Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire). Only those people who have taken a high-resolution mtDNA test (HVRI and HVR2) are eligible to join.
Colchester Camilla Project
The Colchester Camilla Project was set up in February 2011. It is a geographical project for everyone with a direct paternal or maternal ancestral line originating in or around the town of Colchester in Essex. The project is aiming to show a genetic link with the DNA taken from human remains of people who lived in or around Colchester during the Romano-British period (43AD to 410AD). Further information on the archaeological findings in Colchester can be found here.
Cornwall Y-DNA Project
A new Y-DNA project established in July 2011. The project is restricted to those who have a good paper trail to Cornwall on their paternal line.
Cornwall mtDNA Project
This project is for anyone with an ancestor on the direct maternal line who lived in Cornwall.
Devon Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
My Devon DNA Project was only established in March 2009 but has already attracted over 130 participants. The project is open to everyone with a direct paternal or maternal ancestral line from Devon, and participants must have a documented paper trail to Devon. The project specifically excludes deep-rooted lines from America where the only connection with Devon is in the 1500s or 1600s, as these pedigrees are prone to error and are very difficult to verify. There is also the possibility of a non-paternal event leading to the introduction of non-Devon DNA.
East Anglia Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
The East Anglia DNA Project is for anyone whose paternal or maternal line can be traced to East Anglia. For the purposes of the project East Anglia is defined by its historical boundaries, which include the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, plus northern Essex and southeast Lincolnshire. Although the bulk of the participants have been tested at Family Tree DNA the project is hosted on an external website and is therefore able to accommodate results from other testing companies.
Hampshire Y-DNA Project
The Hampshire project is open to anyone with a direct paternal line from Hampshire.
Manx Y-DNA Project
A new DNA project launched in August 2010 by Guild of One-Name Studies member John Creer.
Nidderdale Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
A new Y-DNA and mtDNA geographical project launched in 2011 by Guild of One-Name Studies member Nigel Brooks. The project is open to everyone with a direct paternal or maternal ancestral line originating in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the county of North Yorkshire.
Northumberland Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
This project is open to "all with any association with the county of Northumberland".
Oxfordshire Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
The Oxfordshire DNA project is a dual DNA project which is collecting Y-DNA and mtDNA results for people with a direct paternal or maternal ancestral line from Oxfordshire. Participants must have a documented paper trail to Oxfordshire prior to 1900.
Ravenstonedale DNA Project
A DNA project for people with any of the surnames found in the parish of Ravenstonedale in Westmorland. Participants must have a documented paper trail to an ancestor who lived in Ravenstonedale before 1800. The project accepts Y-DNA, mtDNA and Family Finder results.
Saddleworth Surnames DNA Project
A new Y-DNA project established in December 2013 which is investigating the surnames of Saddleworth in Yorkshire. Updates are posted on the project's Saddleworth History Blog.
Yorkshire Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
A new project established in July 2013 for people with proven or suspected Yorkshire heritage on the direct paternal or maternal line.
Irish DNA Projects
The Ireland Heritage Project is the largest country-specific project in the world with almost 5,000 Y-DNA participants and over 1000 mtDNA participants as of March 2013. The project has its own website with background information on the project and tips and resources for researching in Ireland. The Y-DNA and mtDNA projects have separate project pages at Family Tree DNA:
Ireland Heritage Y-DNA Project
Ireland Heritage mtDNA Project
These projects welcome respectively those with paternal or maternal lines of Irish origin regardless of whether or not the county of origin is known.
Munster Irish Y-DNA Project
This is a research project focusing on the historical families of Munster present in pre-Norman times, studying the ancestral haplotypes prevalent in the province.
Ulster Heritage Y-DNA Project
The Ulster Y-DNA Project aims to "further the study of Ulster surnames, families, clans, and tribal affiliations of the people of Ulster and their descendants throughout the Diaspora". The project is open to anyone with Ulster ancestry which includes "Ulster families of Native Irish, Hebridean Gael, Ulster Scot and English Settlers, Norman, Welsh, Frisian, Manx, etc., origins".
Ulster Heritage mtDNA Project
The Ulster Heritage mtDNA Project is open to all men and women who have Ulster ancestry.
Irish clans
There are in addition a number of projects devoted to the various Irish clans. A listing can be found on the Clans of Ireland website.
Scottish DNA Projects
Scottish DNA Project
The Scottish DNA Project (formerly the Scottish clans projects) was established in October 2001. It was one of the very early geographical projects, and is now the largest geographical with over 5,500 members as of March 2013. The project is now administered by the Genealogical Studies team at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The Scottish DNA blog provides news and updates from the project.
Border Reivers Y-DNA Project
This project has been set up to test the Y-DNA profiles of members of the families found along the Anglo-Scottish Border who are collectively known as the Border Reivers. A full list of surnames associated with the Border Reivers clans can be found on the Electric Scotland website. The project is also open to descendants of 'transplants' to Ulster, the United States, Canada, Australia, and around the world.
Isles of the Hebrides Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
This project is open to those people whose ancestors in either the direct paternal or maternal line resided on one of the Isles of the Hebrides.
Mid Argyll Y-DNA Project
A study of a group of families from mid Argyll who are often referred to as the MacLachlans of Dunadd (Clann Mhic Lachlainn of Dunadd).
Orkney Y-DNA and mtDNA project
The project has not defined the entry criteria, and appears to be open to everyone with ancestry form Orkney.
Shetland Islands Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
The Shetland DNA Project is "only open to those who can show with genealogical records that their ancestor in either the direct paternal or maternal line resided in Shetland in the 1800s or earlier". In addition the ancestor's name should appear in the Shetland families database. A patronymic naming system was common in the Shetlands among Norse families until the 1800s and DNA testing will help researchers to make genetic connections further back in time.
Scotland and the Flemish People Y-DNA Project
A project focusing on Scottish families with Flemish roots. The project is being developed in tandem with Scotland and the Flemish People, a research project run by the Institute of Scottish Historical Research at St Andrews University
Individual Scottish clan projects
There are numerous individual Scottish clan projects, many of which will include a variety of different surnames. The Clan Donald DNA Project is now "the largest family-based genetic genealogy project in the world" and was the first project to acquire 1,000 members. A listing of Scottish clan projects can be found on the Scotland DNA Project website.
Welsh DNA Projects
Wales Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
The Wales DNA Project is attempting to collect the DNA haplotypes of as many persons as possible who can trace their Y chromosome and/or mtDNA lines to Wales. Project members are required to submit an ancestral chart.
The Welsh Patronymics Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
The Welsh Patronymics project was launched on 6 December 6 2002 and focuses on the patronymic-style surnames (Williams, Jones, and Roberts, etc) which are found in Wales.
The British Isles Y-DNA and mtDNA Project
If there is no surname project for your surname and none of the geographical projects listed above meets your requirements another alternative is to test with the British Isles DNA Project. This is the largest geographical DNA project in the world with 4,552 project members at the time of writing. The project is very broad in its scope. It "is open to persons whose family history or surname indicates a paternal or maternal lineage originating in the British Isles, or who have a family tradition pointing back to the British Isles". Participants can therefore join even if they have not identified an ancestor who lived in the British Isles.
Other geographical projects
There are many other geographical projects for other countries and regions, and it is not possible to provide details here. There is however a very useful listing of DNA projects with 50 or more members on the World Families Network website where most of the large geographical projects can be found. DNA Ancestry is the only other testing company which hosts geographical projects. Their website does not have a public listing of geographical projects. The majority of Ancestry projects are however very small and are mostly duplicates of existing projects at Family Tree DNA. If anyone knows of any other geographical projects for the British Isles do let me know and I will add them to my list.

Nice list - thank you! Might I also suggest Settlers of the Original 13 Colonies project. I did not see it in the list at FTDNA but found it mentioned in a forum. Since the settlers were all/most from the UK, it could be useful.

Thanks for letting me know about this project. It's not really appropriate for my list but I've added it to the ISOGG Wiki on the page for Family Finder projects:
and also on the page for geographical projects:

A big part of my motivation to create the P4 principles that were covered in the November 2011 issue of Investment Advisor ("Let Go to Grow") was watching my owner/advisor clients make the same employee mistakes over and over, never questioning their methods and greatly diminishing the success of their firms.
As far as I can tell, their blueprint for mediocrity is widely copied throughout the independent advisory industry.
Owner/advisors' typical experience with junior advisors says it all. First, they make an all-out effort to hire a "blue chip" job candidate, taking far longer than their firm can really afford and then overpaying to get this hot prospect to take the job. Next, they spend virtually no time training their new employee or even introducing her to the systems, procedures, services, clients, philosophy or goals of the firm—yet they have very high expectations that their "star" will hit the ground running, making a substantial impact from day one. Then, when the new hire struggles (predictably, in my view), owner/advisors quickly become disillusioned with the employee and vent their disappointment and anger by becoming overly critical. Which, once again predictably, starts a downward spiral of unhappiness on both the employee's and owner's parts, usually ending with the tarnished employee leaving or being fired—and the owner looking to correct the mistake by hiring an even bigger star.
If you're an owner/advisor and this scenario doesn't resonate with you, you should probably take a harder look at your hiring process. As I said, from my contact with thousands of young advisors across the industry, my sense is that it's almost a universal problem. I call it "setting employees up to fail"—that is, placing newly hired employees in a nearly impossible situation with unrealistic expectations for their impact on the firm, then doing it again and again—and it applies just as often to support staff as it does to professional help. The key to breaking this cycle is for owner/advisors to change the way they think about and work with employees.
The biggest hurdle for most owner/advisors is to let go of much of what they believe or fear about having employees. Like many professionals, independent advisors tend to focus their time and attention on their clients, with employees kind of an afterthought at best and a necessary evil at worst. But as the best doctors, dentists and hospitals have found, much of patient care comes from junior and non-professional staff. By training and supporting their staff, the patients' experiences are greatly enhanced.
This is equally, if not more, true in advisory firms. In my P4 program, the first and most important P is preparation, and the first step is preparing owners to work with their employees. At the heart of acquiring a productive owner's mentality is learning to work with employees as partners in their effort to provide the best possible client service. It's helpful to think of every job at one's firm as equally important, perhaps not in terms of revenue generation, but certainly in creating each client's overall experience. In the most successful firms, employees don't simply leverage the advisors to be more productive, they are part of a team, working together to attract and to serve the firm's clients.
To start building this team mentality, owner/advisors need to stop thinking of themselves as "the boss" and become teachers, mentors and coaches to employees to help them become better at their jobs and to work together toward the firm's common goal. I know, this probably sounds pretty touchy-feely, especially to business-school-trained managers. But, believe me, the effect on a small business such as an advisory firm can be dramatic. When advisors assume these roles from the moment a new employee starts with the firm until that employee starts to learn and grow on his own and to mentor other employees, the business becomes more than just a one- or two-person show and can really take off.
Once owner/advisors come to grips with the fact that their employee problems are self-inflicted rather than the result of poor hiring choices, they can get off the "star employee" treadmill. The list of mistakes that firm owners make in managing employees is almost endless, but I've found that they basically fall into six categories, starting with the hiring myth, which I've already talked about. Here are the other five:
Failing to make time on the front end to train new employees. As I mentioned above, nobody can come into a new advisory firm and hit the ground running without moving up a learning curve. Every firm is unique, at least in some ways, and each new employee needs to learn and understand that uniqueness. The problem is that most advisory firms wait too long to hire help, usually until they are so desperate that they don't feel they have a moment to spare. The key is to build in time to train every new employee; time for the employee to learn her job and about her new firm; and time for the owner/advisor and other employees to teach her. Think of it as in investment: The more you put in, the greater the benefit you'll reap.
Criticizing instead of coaching and teaching. There's a great commercial that's been running during football games this season featuring Phil Jackson, the legendary coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, telling an autocratic restaurant manager, "I've found that anger is the enemy of instruction." It's easy to be critical, to get frustrated or impatient with employees. It's important to point out where employees have fallen short of what's expected, but it's even more important to do so in a way that says, "I know you can do better." Remember, mistakes are how people learn; encourage initiative, correcting mistakes and moving on. The goal is to train confident, competent employees who don't require supervision and can even help out with training and supervising other employees. A relatively small investment of time and patience on the front end will yield huge dividends of independent productivity for years to come.
Telling rather than showing people what to do. Most owner/advisors' vision of teaching is to give a new employee a narrative overview of what his job entails and letting him have at it. Wrong. First, most of us just aren't very good at teaching through lecturing. Second, most new employees will retain very little of what you initially tell them. They're already stressed, and they don't have the context to fully understand what you're telling them. Let them start by reading about their job and everyone else's jobs in the firm manual (you have a firm manual, right?). Then, encourage them to ask any questions they have. Encouraging questions is by far the best way to teach; they'll know better than you what they don't know. Finally, have them do each task that their job entails one at a time, review what they've done, let them ask more questions, and do it again until they get it right. Then move on to the next task. Sure, this takes some time, but very quickly they'll become employees you'll never have to supervise again.
Demanding that people do their jobs like you would. Everyone is different, with different strengths, weaknesses and abilities. To get employees to own their jobs, they need to figure out how to get it done their way, not your way. Remember, the goal is to train highly productive employees that require little or no supervision. To achieve this, your focus needs to be on the end result, not the process. By allowing employees to use their abilities and creativity, you'll get results far beyond your expectations.
Bad tools. Nothing communicates that one's job isn't important more powerfully than failing to provide the tools to do a good job. Just as new employees require an investment in training, they also require an investment in tools and technology. The biggest cost center for most advisory firms is its employees. Get the most out of that investment by providing the tools your employees need to be as productive as possible.
To create great employees who will help you create a great advisory business, get over the impulse to "be the boss" and instead become your employees' teacher, coach, cheerleader and supporter. The more you support them, the easier your job will be and the greater success you'll achieve together.

Red Riding Hood (film)
Red Riding Hood was a movie made by Catherine Hardwicke, who also directed the infamous movie called Twilight (ewww). The movie (Red Riding Hood) revolves around a girl called Valerie who lives in a village called Daggerporn and runs around raping innocent animals and goes on an affair with Peter, a sexy wood-cutter. Valerie is meant to marry Henry, but she thinks he is a complete retard.
Catherine Hardwicke had originally cast Kirsten Stewart in the role of Valerie, and unknown actor Robert Pattinson in the role of Peter but realised what an incredibly mind numbingly stupid idea that would be. It was then decided to cast a load of people we'd never heard of other than that guy from Harry Potter. And he's in Batman too. Oh and that Dracula film with Keanu Reeves with the worst English accent known to man.
Plot Summary[edit]
Valerie is running around the forest with the sexy wood-cutter called Peter. She stops when she sees the dead body of her sister Lucie.
"What sexy beast did this?" She exclaimed to Peter, who stared into space and actually wanted to rape Valerie and kill Henry, and couldn't care less about who raped Valerie's sexy sister.
Than one day, when the people in the village of Daggerporn could actually be bothered to get off their lazy butts, they went out to kill the wolf that invades their village and goes around raping anyone who gets in its path. So when the lazy villagers of the not-so-lovely village of Daggerporn go on their journey to kill the wolf, and Adrian, who had drank way too much Red Bull prior to the hunt ran like crazy into the wolf's den. The wolf, who at the time was very horny and thought that Adrian was one smexy piece of work, started to rape him and put him in the oven for later. Meanwhile, Valerie and Peter decide to have sex in a barn. Then later that night, the wolf decided that it needed to rape more people and went to Daggerporn to speak to Valerie.
"Come away with me." Said the wolf. Now, where have we heard that before? Nope, I have no idea.
Valerie thinks she is going crazy, so she yells at the wolf, "GET AWAY FROM ME MOTHER FIRETRUCKER!" And Valerie's friend Roxanne, who is in the background slaps her like crazy, thinking that Valerie was a crazy woman who thought she could speak to wolves. The wolf decided that Valerie was boring and plain, alot like Bella Swan, so he bit a random guard and ran for his life.
Solomon, who is a pedophile that thinks he knows everything about wolves gets a gun and shoots the random guard that the wolf bit and shoots him several times.
Valerie is now beginning to suspect that her crazy boyfriend is the wolf. Peter walks up to her and says, "Hi, want to have sex?" Valerie is disgraced by this and stabs him to death before running for her wifey lifey. She ran to her creepy grandmothers house but instead of finding grandma found a pedophile, which was her father. Cesaire, Valerie's father reveals that he is the wolf and Valerie, having found out that her dad was a pedophile decided to kill him. She and Peter cack themselves at the thought of Cesaire being a pedophile and throw him into a lake.
Peter then tells Valerie that he was bitten by the wolf, and that he has to go away to learn how to control his lust for rape. Valerie then considers committing suicide like Bella Swan, then decided that she can't be bothered and decided to live in her creepy grandmothers house, awaiting the day that Peter will return and rape her.
Critical Reception[edit]
"At least its not Twilight..."
"Jesus Tittyfuckin' Christ, we have to be grateful for that..."

Results from all five junior leagues posted ... Barberio, Courtnall and Ward extend point streaks ... Something's not Wright in Vancouver
Alberni Valley Bulldogs 1 @ Victoria Grizzlies 3
W Justin Courtnall [13], VIC: 0-1-1, 0 PIM
Courtnall continues at a point-per-game pace (12 in 12). He has scored at least a point in six straight games.
Fargo Force 1 @ Indiana Ice 3
D Luke Witkowski [14], FAR: Did not play
Witkowski, a 2008 sixth round pick of Tampa Bay, remains sidelined with a shoulder injury. He was recently named Fargo's first captain in franchise history. He is a Western Michigan commit.
Victoriaville Tigres 4 @ Moncton Wildcats 3 (OT)
D Mark Barberio [15], MON: 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Barberio extended his points streak to six games, tied for the third longest active streak in the QMJHL. After starting the year 7-0, Moncton has lost their last two in overtime.
Drummondville Voltigeurs 3 @ Lewiston MAINEiacs 4 (SO)
D Michael Ward [16], LEW: 0-1-1, +2, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Ward now has points in three consecutive games.
Brampton Battalion 1 @ Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds 7
W Kyle DeCoste [17], BRA: 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM
After a three game point streak, DeCoste has now gone three games in a row without hitting the scoresheet.
Calgary Hitmen 3 @ Lethbridge Hurricanes 1
C Mitch Fadden [18], LET: Did not play
Fadden was just returned to Lethbridge from AHL Norfolk, but did not suit up for the Hurricanes.
Spokane Chiefs 6 @ Portland Winter Hawks 2
G Dustin Tokarski [19], SPO: Win, 23 saves on 25 shots
Tokarski improved his record on the year to 5-1-0-1.
Prince George Cougars 1 @ Kamloops Blazers 4
C/W Dana Tyrell [20], PG: 2-1-3, -1, 0 PIM
Tyrell scored PG's first two goals, then earned the primary assist on the game winner in the second half of the third period. The Cougars captain now has six points in five games to start his final year in the WHL.
Kelowna Rockets 1 @ Vancouver Giants 7
C James Wright [21], VAN: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Despite the Giants putting up 14 goals in their last two games, Wright has curiously not registered a point in those contests. He is still better than a point-per-game player, however (9 in 8). He is plus-1 in those games, also. Vancouver has scored seven or more goals in four of their eight games. Torrie Jung's replacement, Kris Lazaruk, allowed four goals on 23 shots in just under 50 minutes of play. Still no word on Jung.
NOTE: There are currently three Lightning prospects with at least six game point streaks: Luca Cunti [22], Barberio, and Courtnall.

Charmed by Darkness is a 3-part project about the life of Roger Morneau, a former demon worshiper who became a Christian author and prayer warrior. First, a book release includes the full manuscript from Roger's book A Trip into the Supernatural and never-before-seen pictures and documents. Next, a documentary film will feature interviews with Roger's family and friends, highlighting his conversion story and prayer ministry (Projected Release: Fall, 2018). See the companion program Beware of Angels on Amazon (Free with Prime). Last, a final draft of the screenplay for a period feature film is complete (adapted from the book) – pending funding.
OVERVIEW: As a young boy, Roger displays an uncommon hunger for spiritual truth and can't harmonize the teachings of his church with the Bible. Eventually, he comes to believe that God is a tyrant and walks away from religion completely. Years later, he's invited into a secret society of spirit worship. He learns that he was chosen by "the master" and receives special powers. And although charmed by spirits and mentors, he never feels peace or joy. His parents had warned him about playing with evil. One night, he can't sleep and cries out: "If there's a God in heaven who cares for me, help me!" No one had ever gotten out of the society alive…
Roger's story testifies that demons are real, and their work is based on deception. Thankfully, we can take courage in the superior power of Jesus Christ who promises: "He who follows Me will not walk in darkness…and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free" (John 8:12, 32).
Roger's deliverance comes through an unlikely friendship. A man named Cyril happens to be working next to him in a factory. He learns that Cyril is a Christian that keeps the Bible Sabbath; so he begins studying with Cyril and his wife Cynthia every night at their apartment. But, they don't know Roger had been worshiping demons. Roger figures the spirits will kill him during the night; so he won't be alive for the next Bible study anyway. But, as each new day dawns, Roger finds himself gaining hope and courage that maybe God really does care and is protecting him! Cyril and Cynthia are eye witnesses to the spiritual battles that follow.
FURTHER STUDY: Through his Bible studies with Cyril and Cynthia, Roger met a God of love and a rational teaching about Death, Heaven and Hell.

I�ve been capturing images that tickle my brain ever since my parents handed me my first camera in 4th grade- a well-loved old Brownie Starflex. My �thing� is lighting�the more natural, the better. Back-lighting and worm�s-eye-views have become near-obsessions. As an art major at Goshen College years ago, the best advice I got there from a favorite professor was to �Play with it!�... sage advice which I still follow today. This may mean lying down in a ditch to see some brown-eyed Susans from below, and there�s the fun. My greatest joy in photography is its way of etching moments in my memory. That singular ray of light or fabulous color which would otherwise get forgotten becomes like an old friend when I process or view the image...

It's About Time, Facebook!
And what about trying to find those pages that you've liked? It's one of the most confounding experiences on Facebook even today. You knew you liked a page once upon a time but darned if you can find the list of all the pages you've liked. Unfortunately, I can't even tell you how to do it. Maybe someone will post the instructions in the comments.
For a month or so I've been thinking about writing a post that explains how to use lists in order to filter and view pages that you've liked. Thankfully Facebook has come around and spared me from having to do this (though it's still a good idea, more on that below). In the interim, Facebook has created a new link on the left side of your Facebook wall called Pages Feed. I learned about this from the amazing, funny and ever helpful George Takei. It looks like this.
When you click on this link you will see updates from all the pages you have ever liked. Granted, you might not actually want to see updates from half the pages you have liked but now at least, in one click, you have the option. It took a long time but thank you Facebook for finally providing this option.
The most effective way of using Facebook and being able to see updates from people/pages you actually want to see is by using lists. Facebook automatically creates some generic lists but I don't use those. I prefer to create my own.
Lists are found under the Friends header on the left hand side of your wall.
You can see that I've created ones for my Boston friends, some of my family, History Groups and Publishers. There are more lists but Facebook doesn't show the entire list.
Click on the word Friends. Now you'll be able to see all your lists and be able to create new lists.
The lists featured at the top of the page are the ones automatically created by Facebook for relationships, work, schools and location based on the information you supplied to Facebook. Like I said I don't use these lists. I create my own.
You simply press the Create List button, give your list a name and add friends or pages to it.
Once your lists are set up you can view status updates from those specific people just by clicking the list name. No longer will you miss updates from your family or close friends.
However, I also use lists in regards to Facebook pages. Yes, I am happy that they have given us the Pages Feed button described above. Unfortunately, as of this date, I have managed to "like" 268 pages on Facebook. That's just too many to be manageable.
So I created two lists to ensure that I won't miss updates for the pages that are important to me. The lists are (you can see them in the image above) HistoryGroups and Publishers.
HistoryGroups is full of museums and historical societies that I follow and want to keep track of. Sometimes I just want to know about their activities and sometimes I want to see how well they are doing using social media. With one click I can check all the status updates to be sure that I don't miss any. I check this several times a day.
Publishers is a list of publishers that I follow to track the new books they are publishing. I am in constant need of guests for my weekly Fieldstone Common radio show and this list helps me stay up to date with publishers who produce books that are likely candidates for my show. I check this list about once a day.
Well, there you have it. I hope you will save time and enjoy using the new Pages Feed on Facebook. And I hope, if you're brave, that you'll consider fine tuning your News Feeds even further by creating useful lists. Let me know if you found this helpful.

Amen. Some more clarity for Facebook is always welcome. Caroline Pointer wrote a related blog recently that helped me to create an "Interest List" involving genealogy. Your description is very clear, and I'm going to save the URL to this post so that I can increase my knowledge of the "little ways" of the giant Facebook.ReplyDelete
So far, I'm finding that I can't follow everybody & everything that I want to follow in one day -- but what's new, I suppose. Social media can get all-consuming very fast. Thanks for the post!
I absolutely use the Friends feature on Facebook where I have several groups - Elementary School, High School, College, Local, Family, Genealogy. Not everyone wants to see everything I post (not that I post a whole lot).ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing about the "Pages" list - I'll have to check that out.
Great post. I love using Facebook and have been frustrated with many of the same items you covered in the post.ReplyDelete

A New York grand jury on Friday re-indicted an Indian diplomat accused of mistreating her housekeeper on two counts of visa fraud and making false statements, threatening to reignite a bitter row with New Delhi.
The announcement from the Manhattan federal prosecutor came two days after a US judge threw out a previous case on the grounds that the former Indian consular official was granted full diplomatic immunity after her arrest.
The new, 21-page indictment paints a devastating picture of the lengths to which Devyani Khobragade allegedly went to infringe US laws in hiring a nanny-cum-housekeeper when she moved to New York in 2012.
Khobragade was arrested on Dec. 12 last year outside her children's school and later strip-searched, enraging the Indian government and some of the Indian public.
The diplomatic row between the two countries, which had embraced each other as strategic partners, strained ties and fanned resentment on both sides.
US prosecutors, disputing her immunity, accuse Khobragade of forcing her Indian maid to work 100 hours or more a week, even when sick and without a full day off, for US$1.42 or less an hour.
The indictment accuses Khobragade of presenting false information to obtain a US visa for her housekeeper and coaching her to lie to US Embassy officials.
It says the Indian diplomat drew up a fake contract that conformed with US labor law, but made her employee sign another contract the night they boarded a flight to New York in November 2012.
The second contract stipulated a salary of US$573 a month or US$6,876 a year without overtime and the legal protections she was owed in the US.
The housekeeper worked from 6:30am to as late as 9:30pm or even to midnight from Monday to Saturday, the indictment says, and four hours on Sunday.
It also accuses the diplomat of trying to silence and intimidate the housekeeper, who fled in June last year after she protested her conditions.
The diplomat's lawyer Daniel Arshack refused to comment on the reopening of the case.
"The government of India will respond in due course," he said in a statement said.
Employed as a deputy consul-general at the consulate in New York, Khobragade obtained in January the full immunity granted to diplomats at the Indian mission to the UN.
It was on those grounds that she petitioned a US court on Jan. 9 to drop the case, before flying back to India, where she now works for the Indian foreign ministry.
On Wednesday, US District Judge Shira Scheindlin dismissed the original indictment on the grounds that Khobragade was granted full diplomatic immunity the day before she left, on Jan. 8.
The office of Preet Bharara, the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, then said it intended to recharge the diplomat.
The US court had only found that Khobragade had immunity "during a limited period of time between Jan. 8 and Jan. 9, when the current indictment was returned by a grand injury," Bharara's spokesman said.
"As the court indicted in this decision, and as Devyani Khobragade has conceded, there is currently no bar to a new indictment against her for her alleged criminal conduct, and we intend to proceed accordingly," the spokesman added.
India had welcomed the dismissal of the case, but the US Department of State reserved judgment.
"We were surprised by the dismissal of the indictment against former Indian Deputy Consul General Devyani Khobragade," spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters.

Sunday had a calmer feeling and with more UK community members turning up and quite a few new players recruited the day before buzzing around the stand we decided to hold an afternoon tournament.
We had some t-shirts, posters and signed artwork for prizes and in true Urban Rivals style everyone that took part would take home a prize. The rules were simple, 3 battles at the player's choice of room and opponent with battle points being added together for a total score.
The competition was close but eventually a winner prevailed, look out for this guy bandidedo from London in England.
Special thanks to all Urban Rivals players that turned up and all players that took part in the tournament. Respect to the following and if we missed you, see you next year and maybe across the pond…

(CNN) -- A cyborg beetle or a pet fish engineered to glow under ultraviolet light might sound like something you'd see in a movie about the future.
But if that's the case, then the future is here.
Those are just two of the developments science journalist Emily Anthes explores in her new book, "Frankenstein's Cat: Cuddling up to Biotech's Brave New Beasts." In easy-to-digest language, Anthes looks at the varied ways scientists are reshaping other living things -- and opening up a dialogue on ethics in the process.
Cloning, for example, falls into this discussion, as does "pharming," or genetically engineering animals for medicinal purposes. Advancements in prosthetics are giving new options to injured animals -- and occasionally benefiting humans, too.
Anthes highlights the example of Atlantic bottlenose dolphin Winter, whose story -- she lost her tail after being caught in a crab-trap line and was fitted with a prosthetic one -- inspired the 2011 movie "Dolphin Tale." In the process of developing Winter's tail, scientists came up with a prosthetic gel liner that some human amputees now use on their artificial limbs because of its impressive grip.
Biotech's capabilities extend to pet owners. A dog owner who frets about losing a beloved companion might be intrigued by the possibilities cloning offers, while cat lovers with allergies would probably be interested to hear that genetic engineering could offer a solution.
GloFish, which are zebrafish that have been genetically engineered to contain a fluorescent protein gene, are sold as pets in 49 states. (There's also a domestic cat in the U.S., Mr. Green Genes, who glows when placed under ultraviolet light, although Anthes doesn't foresee there being much of a market for more like him.)
CNN explored these examples and some of the stickier ethical questions posed by engineering animals in an interview this week with Anthes. Some answers were edited for brevity.
CNN: What was the impetus behind "Frankenstein's Cat"?
Anthes: I'm a science geek and an animal lover, so I gravitate toward stories about animals. Over time, I noticed that it seemed like every week there was some new story about genetically modified this, or cloned that, or cyborg bugs, or beetle drones. I got interested in putting all the pieces together and trying to figure out what this all meant.
CNN: When you look at something like the bottlenose dolphin and how it carries over to the way we treat our own amputees, it seems to be a win-win all around. But at what point does it become a little hairier, and morally ambiguous, when you're talking about using different experiments to help human problems?
Anthes: The dolphin is a great example because that involves treating an animal that's already been injured on its own. It may have human payoff down the road, but in the process of doing this work, you're making an animal better. But not all research is like that. In some cases, we take animals who are healthy and we make them sick so we can study them, and that, obviously, is a lot more ethically complicated.
That's probably one of the most -- if not the most -- common uses of genetic engineering, is scientists engineering rats and mice who suffer from various diseases that they then want to study to learn about cures or treatments for human disease. That's a pretty clear instance where animal welfare and human welfare are in direct opposition.
It's tricky, because it seems deeply unfair, and in some senses, it is. I like animals, and I don't want to see us creating rats that are just studded with tumors all the time, but if you told me that would actually yield a cure for cancer, it's hard to say no to that.
Studies have shown that the public is deeply conflicted about this, and I think there are some distinctions you can make based on what the potential benefits are. I don't like the idea of testing cosmetics on animals, and I think a lot of people would agree with me. But I think most people are slightly more accepting when it comes to testing chemotherapy on animals, because the potential payoff for humans is so big. Of course, that's not any consolation for the animal.
CNN: I thought you made an interesting point in your book about technology, that we're in a period where we're accustomed to personalization. What could the future of biotech hold for that?
Anthes: We have desired custom-designed pets for a long time, it's just that our options for creating them were limited. The techniques of molecular genetics really lets us go in and, for the first time, target very specific individual genes.
One of the big areas of interest has been in creating hypoallergenic pets. With cats, for instance, there's one gene in particular that codes for a protein that is what a lot of humans react to. The idea is, if you could disable this protein, maybe you have a cat that doesn't cause an allergic reaction.
I think a genetically engineered hypoallergenic cat is something that there would be a lot of demand for, and something I could very easily envision being a hit on the marketplace.
CNN: That's a very useful purpose, but then again, it raises questions of where the ethical boundaries are.
Anthes: I understand all of the criticism that has been lobbed at genetic technologies, and I think many of them are absolutely valid. We should consider animal welfare, we should consider environmental effects, we should consider human safety.
And there will certainly be cases in which we want to make alterations that are not good for animals, are not good for humans, are not good for the environment, and we should absolutely reject those products.
I think the point I really wanted to make is that it doesn't always have to be that way. Not every product will be harmful and dangerous, and some might actually be beneficial. I would hate to see these technologies rejected out of hand when there may be some useful applications.
CNN: Where do you think that anxiety about biotechnology stems from?
Anthes: I think there are some different concerns, and some of them are practical even if they get sort of sci-fi esque. [W]hat happens if these modified fish get loose, and what havoc might they wreak?
Then there are more philosophical concerns about, 'Is this unnatural?' and then, 'If it's unnatural, does that make it wrong?' And who are we to be, quote-unquote, playing God? That's a phrase you see all the time in the animal world. Are we sort of unleashing forces that we can't control? These are all questions that come up again and again.
At the root of it is the fact that this is new and high-tech. ... Things that are new are much scarier than things that are old. Things that are quote-unquote, technological are scarier than things that are, quote-unquote, natural. You have a lot of those factors wrapped together when you talk about something like genetic engineering.
CNN: Was there a particular species or experiment that intrigued you as being at the forefront of biotechnology?
Anthes: I think this world of cyborgs is really fascinating, and also very representative of the future. I think a lot of the early work in biotechnology was manipulating biology and the genes that are already there. I think the future in many ways is the mash-up of the living with the nonliving, the biotic with the a-biotic. I think we're really going to see, for lots of different reasons and in lots of different species, a growth of creatures that combine electronic bits and biological ones.
CNN: Such as the robotic bugs that you were talking about in your book (where scientists are studying how to turn an insect into a device that can be used to gain intelligence for military purposes).
Anthes: That's one very dramatic example, and I think there will be more of them. But I think there will be less dramatic kinds of cyborgs that will become more and more common. There are a number of therapies being tested for human disease that involve implanting sort of neuro-prosthetics in the brain, and (using) bionic prosthetic limbs. I think it's going to become more and more mainstream to come across humans or animals that have electronic parts wired into them.
CNN: What do you think are the greatest impacts on a person's personal life that may come from the latest biotechnology research?
Anthes: I think there's a lot of potential in this field of canine genetics, which is just growing like crazy. We're already starting to see some of it: There are commercial labs that can test your dog's DNA for less than $100, and give you information about what diseases it might be prone to and that can really help you make better medical decisions for your dog. I think this world of care and genetics may help us tackle the world of genetic dog disease, which a lot of research has shown is a huge problem among many breeds of dogs.
CNN: You say in your book that working to create genetically modified animals says something about us. What did you find to be the answer to that when you were done writing?
Anthes: I'm not sure there's one answer, but it reveals a couple of things.
It shows, for instance, that we imbue our pets with aesthetic value. Sometimes we want to change them just to look nice to us. Sometimes we want to change (animals) just to provide a better service to us, to produce better meat or certain kinds of drugs. Sometimes, we want to change them more out of altruism for their health.
It shows in some ways how complicated our relationships with animals are; that we simultaneously value them for what they give us, but that we also want -- or think we want -- them to have long, healthy lives for their own sake.
That was something I came back to again and again. The bottom line is that it reveals how complex our feelings are for other species. We don't want to see them suffer, and yet if their suffering gives us a cure for cancer, then maybe that's OK. It reveals that we're deeply conflicted about the role that animals play in our lives.

Remember that fatphobic asswipe Jaime O'Neill, whose clever solution to Americans engaging in gross overconsumption of natural resources was: fat people should diet? So then, uh, we won't have to be reminded of how oil-dependent we are or something?
Yeah, he's my new best friend, compared to journalist and personal trainer Robert Haddocks. This article is unbelievable.
There's a guy in my gym who tickles me. Every day he walks in with his short shorts that we wore 20 years ago and a tank top. This guy spends at least 30 minutes doing crunches, sit-ups, hanging leg raises —- and for that he should be commended.
But the guy probably has a 40-inch belly protruding over his mini-shorts. I don't get it. He tries hard but unfortunately, he's a bit misguided. He can keep doing all that ab work, but what he needs to do is kick up the cardio and cut down on the calories and fat.
Gee, how nice that that tickles you. Nothing funnier than a fat guy exercising in outdated clothes! (Except, of course, a fat woman!) And oh, what a knee-slapper it is that he's doing the wrong kind of exercise if he wants to lose weight! Which of course he must, because, you know, he's fat. And the only possible reason why anyone would do crunches and sit-ups and hanging leg raises is because he wants to lose weight and just doesn't know how. There's no chance that he simply enjoys that kind of exercise, or is doing it because his priority is actually strengthening his muscles, to make other forms of exercise easier or rehabilitate a back problem or simply get the myriad general benefits of core strength. There's also no chance whatsoever that he walks, runs, cycles or plays soccer outside the gym, where you don't get to monitor his exercise routine. If he did that, there's no way on earth he could still be fat. No, clearly, he's just clueless.
Then Haddocks tells us about the eating habits that "work for him" — and his dad — followed by, "We're fortunate in that we don't have a tendency to pack on pounds." Ya think? And you think maybe people who aren't so "fortunate" won't get much out of your astonishingly simplistic advice?
Oh, wait, of course we will!
Those who do might need to keep a closer watch on their caloric count and follow a stricter diet. You know yourself and your body better than anybody. So eating, like a lot of things, comes down to common sense…. I firmly believe that most people are overweight by choice.
Hmm, I'm confused. According to you, I know myself and my body better than anybody. So, evidently, does the guy doing crunches in his short-shorts. And yet, we have somehow failed to miss that the key to not being fat is following "a stricter diet" and doing cardio. 'Cause if we did that, we wouldn't be fat, duh. We would be choosing not to be fat. Choosing not to be fat, even if you have fat genes, "just requires a bit more determination and dedication and making smart choices."
For real, y'all. We're fat because we're dumb.
It gets better.
And mothers, those babies you had —- oh, six and eight years ago —- sorry, you can't use them as an excuse anymore. You've exceeded the exercise statute of limitations! I see plenty of women in the gym with two or three kids that look great.
There is really no reasonable response to a statement like that other than, FUCK YOU, JACK. And I don't even have kids.
And oh wait, it's not over yet.
Despite my commentary on smoking and lighthearted gym observation, my intent in this column is one of positivity and to motivate folks to be active and live healthier lives.
His LIGHTHEARTED gym observation. Was that the one about the deluded, unfashionable fatass doing crunches, or the one about the mothers with young kids who've "exceeded the statute of limitations" on not looking great? Or the one about fat people choosing to be fat, because they don't want to exercise?
Bob, do you think it's just possible that you don't see more fat people at your gym because IT'S FULL OF JUDGMENTAL ASSHOLES WHO LAUGH AT THEIR CLOTHES AND THEIR EXERCISE DECISIONS?
Way to motivate people in a positive way, dude. Keep up the good work!
Moving right along, you must check out Louise Burke's "My size zero diet nightmare." This time, the article is terrific, though the outrage it provokes is no less fiery.
Burke was a perfectly healthy, thin woman with a good body image, who decided to participate in an extreme diet (for a reality show, natch), just for the journalistic experience. She lasted 5 weeks. Here's the short version of what happened:
Before: 9st 3lb Body mass index, 22.3 l percentage of body fat, 27.7 l shiny, strong hair l energetic l healthy sex life l good body image l cheerful, even-tempered l clear skin l mentally alert l highly motivated l balanced attitude to food and diet l good fitness level
After: 8st 3lb Body mass index, 19.9 l percentage of body fat, 18.5 l limp hair l weak l no energy l low sex drive l bad breath l depression/mood swings l skin rash l unable to concentrate l demotivated l obsessed with food and calories l bad posture l pallid face
The long version of what happened is well worth a read. I can hardly pick out just a few choice quotes, because the whole thing is a choice quote. But here are a few anyway.
My body was in shock from the sudden drop in calories (from roughly 2,500 calories a day to 1,600). Lunch and dinner were restricted to a palm-size portion of protein and twice that in vegetables or salad.
I was so hungry that I'd eat very slowly, savouring every mouthful. Food never tasted so good – even lettuce and tinned tuna (a meal I'd usually turn my nose up at).
It got worse.
Did you notice that 1600 calories counts as a the beginning of an "extreme" diet? Or that, when she was perfectly healthy and thin, with a BMI of 22.3, she was eating about 2500 calories? (And not exercising much, evidently, since she says the gym habit is the only good thing she took away from the nightmare diet?) Isn't it supposed to be only fat people and athletes who eat that much?
Burke restricts her calories even more after that — and remember, such extra restriction is exactly what Robert Haddocks and others like him believe fatties must choose to do if we can't lose weight by eating and exercising like "normal" people — and this is what happens:
At work I was putting in minimal effort.
My writing was not up to scratch, but I didn't have the energy to think and make it better.
If there was a minor problem, I couldn't cope.
People said I was constantly frowning, as if something was wrong. They were right. Something was very wrong – I wasn't eating.
I fantasised about cheeseburgers all day long.
I couldn't cope with even normal day-to-day activity.
Climbing escalators in the Underground was a no-no, and I had to persuade a colleague to take a detour home so she could help me carry my bags of salad – hardly the heaviest of shopping.
My editor commented that she'd never employ someone in my state because she couldn't depend on me to carry out tasks independently.
But hey, she's losing weight! THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.
And then there's this observation, which I could kiss her for:
The only thing I did talk about was food. I was a useless bore.
Also, this one, about going off the diet:
I didn't return to normal eating patterns straight away as I had expected.
I binged for at least the first two weeks, which was pretty disgusting, although it took me a while to realise that.
As I gradually got back to a healthy eating plan, I was able to start thinking about things other than food and reclaim my passion for life (and my boyfriend!).
I don't think there are any long-lasting side effects, but ask me again in ten years.
A-fucking-men. And here's the thing: the only difference between Louise Burke and a fat person who diets and exercises like that? Is that the fat person will still end up fat.
But, you know, it's a choice. You just have to stop making excuses.
Either that or you have to stop listening to people like Robert Haddocks and reread the famous Campos quote:
Remember that particularly clueless right-wing acquaintance of yours? The one who believes that anybody in America can become rich, because he thinks about poverty in a completely unscientific, anecdotal way, which allows him to treat the exceptional case as typical? The one who can't seem to understand the simplest structural arguments about the nature of social inequality?
The next time you see some fat people and get disgusted by their failure to "take care of themselves," think about your clueless friend.

November 9, 2005 - Implications of the Lynn Cisco Research, and Moving Forward
by Jeff Moss
Did you notice that the original issue of the Black Page is missing? I removed it at the request of Mike Lynn and ISS when they were sorting out what Mike's presentation was going to include. It was getting close to the show, and I was getting conflicting signals from ISS. A common theme we will see in this saga.
In general, though, our security community is very good at sharing information, maybe the very best. This is an important skill, especially in today's times. It was like trying to put a genie back in the bottle. Pandora's box was open, and everyone wanted a look.
This update to the BlackPage will catch us up with what has happened in the ISS and Cisco vs. Mike Lynn and Black Hat case, and I hope to set the record straight. I have also asked for comment from other security experts, and that will be included as separate BlackPage entries.
First off it is important to understand that the mission of the Black Hat Briefings is to provide the most up-to-date and vendor neutral information needed to improve security of our applications and networks. If content is neutered, how can we make informed decisions on what the risks are? Unbiased information is the most valuable and I believe that is one reason why Mike ultimately dropped his back-up speech on VoIP security issues and gave his presentation, despite all odds.
I have been dealing with lawyers for over three months since the stipulated permanent injunction was filed hours before the conference started. Now the legal battles have come to an end for Black Hat, Cisco and ISS. After acquiring and forensically wiping all information from Black Hat regarding Michael Lynn and his presentation as required by Judge White, Cisco and ISS have finally dismissed its lawsuit against Black Hat. Mike is at an end of the civil matters as well. I think the song Attorney Kurt Opsahl from the EFF wrote must have worked!
The legal landmines have been deactivated, and the money purge has stopped. While Black Hat is still under a Permanent Restraining Order to not disseminate video of Mike's presentation or to spread his presentation material containing proprietary Cisco source, I can live with that because we no longer have any copies. I couldn't violate the terms if I tried. Looking on the bright side, if that is possible, it was a very interesting learning experience for all involved. The Cisco lawyers were very professional and all about getting down to business. If lawyers are a form of the modern day warrior, then my Cisco opponents behaved honorably. I plan to write about some of the business lessons learned in a future BlackPage entry.
Black Hat has and always will bring new research to those defending digital information. The security community wont be easily intimidated, and Black Hat will continue to act as a platform for the security community for years to come.
However, the larger issue of this episode is not about Black Hat. It is about the industry and the state of the global infrastructure. The actions of the ISS and Cisco lawyers has had a profound impact on the security research community. Their actions reverberate beyond that of Black Hat and Michael Lynn, and impact security researchers worldwide, and more importantly, the security surrounding the infrastructure and the customers of insecure technology worldwide.
What happens next? It is important to start with the correct facts, then move forward. The security community can always look to Black Hat for straight information, and here are some important facts:
Now that we are all on the same page, let's move forward and try to fix the larger issue surrounding security research. The security research disclosure loop is broken, and has been for years. Security researchers and corporations need to work together better or this story will happen over and over. Here are a few ideas on how to make this happen:
I've been asked if Black Hat plans to do anything differently in the future because of this episode. My answer is an absolute no. It will be business as usual for Black Hat and the way we select speakers. I see no viable alternative. Am I to have people waiting at the edge of each stage with a hook to snag a presenter off stage the second they deviate from their printed materials? What if they dodge?
Look to upcoming issues of the Black Page to further discuss this topic. I am inviting experts I respect to contribute, including Michael Lynn, Linton Wells, Raven Alder, Jennifer Granick, Paul Proctor, and others.
Insecure Countermeasures
Some of the latest "solutions" to common security problems are proving to hurt as much as they help, if you blindly trust them. The consequences of this blind trust are the focus of this BlackPage. In this issue, we take a look at two countermeasures that could work against you.
