New JonesBlog update. Experiments
I had checked out... The environment was so complete that for a discrete moment I had completely forgotten that we were still in the continental United States. Perhaps it was the smell of kebabs cooking or the sound of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan playing from the electronics shop that also sold pirated Western DVDs or the afternoon call to prayer coming from the tops of the minarets in the local mosque. It could have been the women selling bread, fruits or flowers by the side of the road or the Arabic men playing backgammon in the cafe with shisha pipes. Toyota trucks or bicycles being repaired in the roadside repair shops under Iraqi flags added to the realism along with a tangle of wires on poles carrying telephone and electricity around town with satellite dishes for television on rooftops were added elements. But the thing that completed it was the sound of Baghdadi Arabic from a gentleman greeting us as we drove through town.

New JonesBlog update. Sundance New Frontier 2010 and a Banksy sighting
I ran up to Park City for the Sundance Festival and to photograph an art installation, the Cloud Mirror by Eric Gradman. The point of the Cloud Mirror is to search out information on the Internet about visitors and merge that information with a real time image of the person on an LCD screen in front of them using computer vision to augment reality. You see yourself reflected back live, in person on the LCD screen in front of you with a thought bubble out of a comic book superimposed next to your head displaying all sorts of information that can be dug up through the Internet. The Cloud Mirror searches Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, IMDB, sex offenders databases and displays activities, relationship status, your favorite movies, books, music, any status updates you post etc...etc...etc... along with snarky comments.
I flew down to Las Vegas to do some work that I'll talk about here later. But while I was in town, I took two days to document Media Day and Shot Show 2010 for a number of sources including Wired, The Firearm Blog and other resources. There was some interesting new technology including a new pistol from Armatix that uses RF signals to disable the sidearm if it is too far from the wristwatch the accompanies it. Also new ballistics computers that are mounted on rifles are discussed.

The device seen in these images is called the Utah Electrode Array (WARNING: potentially graphic image after the jump of an implant in a human brain). The Utah Electrode Array is a brain implant technology developed here at the University of Utah by Richard Normann. The purpose of this device, built by currently built for us by Blackrock Microsystems is to transduce signals from external devices to deliver to the brain for interpretation. Alternatively, the device can record impulses generated in the brain for delivery of neural signals to external devices. Our potential interests in this approach are manifold, but real use and implementation of these devices is some years away still.

My recipe for the day is a classic from Kashmir, the beautiful state in the north of India: Dum Aloo.
Although potatoes are the chief ingredient in Dum Aloo, it is not usually a vegan dish because it includes cream or yogurt, or sometimes both. While one can easily substitute the yogurt with soy yogurt, which works exactly like yogurt in cooked dishes, I prefer instead to use coconut milk and some lemon juice here. The creaminess of the coconut milk is perfect with the spongily delicious texture of the potatoes.
To achieve that texture, the potatoes are usually deep-fried first. I take a healthier shortcut: I marinate the potatoes in some simple spices and roast them in the oven, in their jackets. The baking cooks them and gives the potato skins a crunchy texture, which emulates the deep-frying without the fat, and works beautifully in the final dish. Perfect.
It's Monday night, and it's getting late, so here goes the recipe. Enjoy, everyone, and have a great week!
Kashmiri Dum Aloo
- 10-15 baby potatoes (If you can't find these, use the smallest potatoes you can find, and halve or quarter them. Then follow the rest of the recipe instructions). If using whole baby potatoes, poke them all over with a fork.
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1/4 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- Salt to taste
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 chopped mint or coriander for garnish
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- For the masala:
- 1 tbsp
- garam masala
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 15-20 almonds , soaked for about half an hour
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1/2 tsp sugar
Mix 1 tsp oil, 1/4 tsp chilli powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric and salt to taste and toss the potatoes in the mixture. Place in a 400-degree oven and roast 30 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through. (Pierce with a fork to test).
Grind together the masala ingredients with enough water to make a thick paste. Set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in a saucepan.
Add the ground masala and stir for a couple of minutes.
Add half the coconut milk and then the potatoes.
Once the sauce starts to bubble, turn the heat to the lowest setting and place a tight-fitting lid over the saucepan. Let cook 20 minutes. Add some water if the sauce dries up.
Add the remaining coconut milk, more salt if needed, and the mint/coriander leaves and lemon juice. Stir well and turn off the heat.
Serve hot with chapatis or with whole-wheat puris, as I did. This also pairs really well with some South Indian Coconut Rice.

I must have missed that line then. I still have it DVRed so eventually I will watch it again.
Now, as to the real business. The End of Time.
Part 1 was ok, I enjoyed the lighter tone aspects, but once we got into the regular business, it got a tad mixed. The Master is a little too much of a gimmicky badguy. I like Donna's grandpa as a companion. The end result felt really standard Doctor Who, and then we got the Time Lords and it was "wow!" for that moment.
Part 2, I don't know how to feel. I appreciate that they kept it somewhat light until the end without feeling too trivial, then did the ol' switcheroo over and over and over. The final endgame for the main players was interesting, but never felt like it fully paid off on the dynamics between these folks, although I did love hearing finally what went down in the Time War with the Doctor. And I think that was the Doctor's mother, that was interesting. I loved the intensity of the Doctor's final sacrifice, even if it was painfully cliched, that was played beautifully despite being a total gimmick and cheap. And if Wilf had felt that way, he could have hit a button to lock out the Doctor. But still. I think the one thing that rubbed me as "too damned far" was the Doctor's last line, it was delivered with such earnest portrayal that I hated it, not fair at all to the audience to play them that way. The new guy is so young and goofy, but hopefully it'll work.

Bellator's Thiago Michel Continues With Kickboxing This Weekend
- Written by Rian Scalia
Thiago Michel is a kickboxer who made the switch over to MMA and has had a successful career in that, fighting in Bellator and making it to the organization's lightweight semi-final. Michel still does kickboxing, and has fought a number of times in that in Brazil this year, including his most prominent kickboxing fight to date at It's Showtime Brazil on November 10, where he defeated Steve Poort by unanimous decision.
On December 8, this Saturday, Michel returns to the kickboxing ring at the Tatneft Cup Brazil in Sao Paulo, which allows three Brazillian kickboxers to qualify to fight in the main Tatneft Cup tournaments in Kazan, Russia. Michel will be in an eight man, one night tournament at 70kg.
Along with the 70kg tournament that Michel is in, there's also an 80kg eight man tournament and a four man tournament at heavyweight, which will also be one night affairs. The tournament fights will be determined by lottery on the day of weigh-ins, which takes place tomorrow.
The Tatneft Cup Brazil is how Saulo Calavari qualified for the Tatneft Cup and eventually lead him to K-1. Brazil has a lot of talent, as we saw at It's Showtime Brazil with three Brazillians defeating their foreign counterparts, and it's good to see fighters from there being given an opportunity to get good fights in kickboxing.

Watch for smiles and plenty of hugs when you pass a tray of favorite chocolate and peanut butter cookies.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Blossoms: Increase chocolate candies to 8 1/2 dozen. Melt 1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips; beat in with eggs. After shaping dough into balls, roll in chocolate decorating decors (you'll need four 1.75-ounce bottles). Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are firm. Makes 8 1/2 dozen cookies.
To melt chocolate chips for the cookie variation, microwave in a microwavable bowl uncovered on High 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, stirring halfway through. If necessary, microwave an additional 10 to 20 seconds, stirring until smooth.
The chocolate decors for the cookie variation will stick when the consistency of the dough is moist; if dough appears dry, lightly roll balls between hands to press sprinkles in.
Cookie dough can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. If it's too firm, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Cookie sheets should be at least 2 inches smaller than the inside of your oven to allow the heat to circulate around the cookie sheets.

So, NO, Bush/Cheney could not have falsely blamed 9-11 on Iraq if 9-11 had not occurred.
If you are using our invasion of Iraq to PROVE they were involved with 9-11, surely you can see the flawed logic in your argument.
My neighbor was snooping around my fence line looking for his dog. My log-pinch turned up missing. I accuse him of stealing it, so I throw a dirt clod at his head.
Now, did my throwing a dirt clod at his head prove he stole my log-pinch? Well, if my log pinch hadn't turned up missing, would I have accused him of stealing it, and thrown the dirt clod at him? NO. So that proves he stole my log pinch a la Hew-istic logic, right?

Jan. 11, 2004 <H1>Bush Sought Way To Invade Iraq?
O'Neill Tells '60 Minutes' Iraq Was 'Topic A' 8 Months Before 9-11
(CBS) A year ago, Paul O'Neill was fired from his job as George Bush's Treasury Secretary for disagreeing too many times with the president's policy on tax cuts.
Now, O'Neill - who is known for speaking his mind - talks for the first time about his two years inside the Bush administration. His story is the centerpiece of a new book being published this week about the way the Bush White House is run.
In the book, ONeill says that the president did not make decisions in a methodical way: there was no free-flow of ideas or open debate.
At cabinet meetings, he says the president was "like a blind man in a roomful of deaf people. There is no discernible connection," forcing top officials to act "on little more than hunches about what the president might think."
From the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go, says ONeill, who adds that going after Saddam was topic "A" 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11.
From the very first instance, it was about Iraq. It was about what we can do to change this regime, says Suskind. Day one, these things were laid and sealed.
As treasury secretary, O'Neill was a permanent member of the National Security Council. He says in the book he was surprised at the meeting that questions such as "Why Saddam?" and "Why now?" were never asked.
"It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying Go find me a way to do this," says ONeill. For me, the notion of pre-emption, that the U.S. has the unilateral right to do whatever we decide to do, is a really huge leap.
And that came up at this first meeting, says ONeill, who adds that the discussion of Iraq continued at the next National Security Council meeting two days later.
He got briefing materials under this cover sheet. There are memos. One of them marked, secret, says, Plan for post-Saddam Iraq," adds Suskind, who says that they discussed an occupation of Iraq in January and February of 2001.
Based on his interviews with O'Neill and several other officials at the meetings, Suskind writes that the planning envisioned peacekeeping troops, war crimes tribunals, and even divvying up Iraq's oil wealth.
He obtained one Pentagon document, dated March 5, 2001, and entitled "Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield contracts," which includes a map of potential areas for exploration.
The thing that's most surprising, I think, is how emphatically, from the very first, the administration had said X during the campaign, but from the first day was often doing Y, says Suskind. Not just saying Y, but actively moving toward the opposite of what they had said during the election.
The president had promised to cut taxes, and he did. Within six months of taking office, he pushed a trillion dollars worth of tax cuts through Congress.
But O'Neill thought it should have been the end. After 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan, the budget deficit was growing. So at a meeting with the vice president after the mid-term elections in 2002, Suskind writes that O'Neill argued against a second round of tax cuts.
Cheney, at this moment, shows his hand, says Suskind. He says, You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due. O'Neill is speechless.
Note the failed argument he made that our invasion of Iraq proves they were linked to 911. When I point out his flawed logic, I get called a piece of something. I wear all the names I get called here as a badge of honor!
Edit: oh, I almost forgot: tick tick tick.... (saves MK the trouble)

Mark Cuban: Facebook Is Driving Away Brands — Starting With Mine 299
concealment sends this quote from an article at ReadWriteWeb: "Tech billionaire and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban says he is fed up with Facebook and will take his business elsewhere. He's sick of getting hit with huge fees to send messages to his team's fans and followers. Two weeks ago Cuban tweeted out a screen grab of an offer he'd received from Facebook. The social network wanted to charge him $3,000 to reach 1 million people. Along with the screen grab, Cuban wrote, 'FB is blowing it? This is the first step. The Mavs are considering moving to Tumblr or to new MySpace as primary site.'"

Pietschman's Shoes
Two youngsters are pictured above with a banner advertising an anniversary sale for Frank W. Pietschman, who was known as the "west side shoe-man." Pietschman's Shoe Store was located for several decades at the same location in Sandusky, at 417 Tiffin Avenue. The Twin Anniversary Edition of the Sandusky Register and Star News, from November 24, 1947 featured a full page advertisement for Pietschman's Shoes.
The article stated that Frank Pietschman, a Civil War veteran, had first established a small shoe shop at 417 Tiffin Avenue in 1865. The original shop was a two story building with two rooms on the first floor and an apartment on the second level. Boots and shoes were custom made by six cobblers who were skilled in the art of shoe making. Frank Pietschman's son William took over the shoe business in 1896. Though by this time, most people purchased ready-made shoes, one cobbler remained on staff for custom shoe orders. At the end of World War I, William's son, who was named Frank William Pietschman, took over the family business. Young Frank W. Pietschman had served as an apprentice under his grandfather, and he had learned how to make shoes for individuals with deformed feet. In the year 1947, Frank W. Pietschman had been fitting people with corrective shoes for forty five years. Frank W. Pietschman passed away in October of 1979. Pietschman's Shoes continued in operation, with the next generation of Pietschmans at the helm, for several years. Pietschman's Shoes went out of business in the mid 1990s, but for decades it was known as one of the oldest and most outstanding shoe stores in northern Ohio.
1 comment:
What a wonderfully long history Pietschman's shoes has had. My son was born in 1990, and just as they had done for many Sandusky children for many years, they gave him his first set of soft sole Walkers FREE!

If Alex okafo is there in the 2nd rd, its a no-brainer.
Every rounds, every positions, every prospects really good job. For me this draft and the upcoming FA season is all about beating the Patsie. We all know if we can beat them, we can't join them as elite team in the NFL.

When I became a new Scoutmaster a good friend took me aside and gave me some great advice. He told me that its all about the Troop program. We were building a Troop from scratch and so he assured me that if we built a great program, the Scouts would come and we would have a troop that would do great things.
That was 7 years ago. We built a great program and as the Scouts got older they all added to that program building it stronger and stronger each year. Annually our District, like every other District in the BSA hosts their District Dinner or Annual Awards Banquet. For the past 4 years Troops 174, 544, and my Troop (664) have been competing for the Troop of the Year.. Trading off between the three of us, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places, typically separated by 1 or points between Troops. My Troop has never been number one.. until now.
Last year Troop 174 won the top honors and we came in a very close second. There was a 3 point spread between 1st and 3rd place. This year there was a 4 point spread between 1st and 4th place and once again the three Troops were in the hunt. When they announced that Troop 544 was third place, I immediately thought.. "Well, we got second again this year", then they announced that 174 was the runner up. My committee chair looked over at me and we smiled. "And the Troop of the Year is 664!" our Awards chair announced. 7 years of building and working with our Scouts to build this program and here it is the Troop of the Year for our District.
I am proud of the work that the Scouts have done, the support of a fantastic committee, and the dedication of some great Assistant Scoutmasters that made this all happen.
It all started with a Giant helping me get started. Thanks
Have a Great Scouting Day!

The new Defender can do to the Land Rover badge and image globally what the Evoque did for the Range Rover. That is the view of Land Rover's design director, Gerry McGovern.
It is now over a year since Land Rover revealed the DC100 concept and began touring it worldwide at shows, getting feedback. "The concept got the thumbs-up," said McGovern, "and 90 per cent of the 250,000 people we spoke to loved it."
McGovern said design work on the Defender replacement had progressed and various different concepts had been looked at internally in addition to the DC100, ahead of a planned introduction in "the middle of the decade".
He believes the "new Defender can do for Land Rover what the Evoque did for Range Rover", bringing a new, more style-conscious buyer to the Defender and the Land Rover brand.
Although style is promised, it will not be at the expense of function. "We need a new Defender for a new generation," said McGovern, "so it has to be relevant and desirable to a modern audience, but it has to have the essence of the Defender. James Bond needs to be able to kick the hell out of it and it will still be able to get up for more."
McGovern understands the sensitivity of the new Defender project due to the current car's staunch fan base, but he said it couldn't "be developed through rose-tinted spectacles".
He said: "A like-for-like replacement for the Defender would not be appropriate and wouldn't be legal with safety legislation. We can still capture the essence of the past but in a modern way.


text: Opposite pricing paths for North American polyethylene and polypropylene resins are featured in this weeks Material Insights video. Regional PE prices are up an average of 5 cents per pound since Aug. 1, while PP prices are down an average of 2 cents since then. The move represents a turnaround for PE prices, which had fallen a total of 14 cents in May and June. For PP, its the continuation of a trend that's seen prices for that material tumble 27 cents since May. Possible impacts on resin markets from Hurricane Isaac also are featured in this weeks video. The storm hit the Louisiana coast on Aug. 28, bringing with it heavy rain and leading to the temporary shutdown of large amounts of capacity for PE, PP and PVC resins. The overall impact, however, is expected to be less than that of Hurricane Katrina, which hit the Gulf Coast five years ago. The video wraps up with news that Braskem has opened a new PVC plant in Brazil. The plant is located in Marechal Deodoro and has more than 400 million pounds of annual capacity. São Paulo-based Braskem spent almost $500 million on the two-year project, which will make resins for use in home building, sanitation and infrastructure.

Packers' Fan Fit to be Tied

Havahart Deer Off II Deer, Rabbit, & Squirrel Repellent, 128 oz. Concentrate
Prices, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online.
Ideal for repelling deer, squirrels and rabbits
Made from natural, food-based ingredients
Proven effective by a Rutgers University study
Weather-resistant formula lasts up to 90 days
128-oz. concentrate makes 8 gallons of formula
Truly the best repellent on the market! The formula of the Havahart Deer Off II Repellent contains more active ingredients than the original Deer Off. Deer Off II contains 4 times the putrescent egg, 1.5 times the garlic, and 1.5 times the capsaicin. Deer Off II is also ideal for repelling rabbits and squirrels. Havahart Deer Off II Repellent has a patented Dual Deterrent System formula that provides both scent and taste barriers to repel deer, rabbits, and squirrels. The formula contains putrescent egg solids (4.63%), garlic (.001%), and capsaicin (.001%). The putrescent egg and garlic scent coupled with a hot pepper taste will dissuade deer, rabbit, and squirrels from eating your plants. If the critter gets past the odor, it'll be repelled by the taste.
When applied as directed, this animal repellent lasts up to 90 days. More frequent application may be necessary where animal pressure is heavy. Deer Off II Repellent is made from natural and food based ingredients. OMRI listed and compliant for use in organic gardening, this product is also EPA registered for direct use on plants, bulbs, flowers and trees. It should not leave a visible film or residue and will not change the color of plants and foliage. The 128-oz. Deer Off II Repellent Concentrate makes 8 gallons of weather-resistant ready-to-use formula, enough to treat 1,600 ornamental shrubs four feet tall or approximately 14,000 sq. ft. of plantings. Made in the USA.

Up to four different widget areas and a custom footer menu are support in Newsy. These features are entirely optional and intelligently respond to your Custom Menu and Widgets settings without needing any additional intervention in the way of Theme Options.

Elaine Walsh Stricker
Elaine Walsh Stricker, 94, passed away on Monday, December 24, 2012.
She was born December 23, 1918 in Middleton, WI, the daughter of John F. and Anastasia Kennedy Walsh. The family moved to Madison where she lived and attended school. She was a graduate of Edgewood. Her marriage to J Daniel (Don) Stricker took place April 15, 1942 at St. Raphael's Cathedral, Madison. She and her husband resided in Madison until 1959 at which time they moved to Janesville. In 1963 they relocated to Monroe where she was employed by St. Clare Hospital. She served as the Assistant Medical Record Administrator until her retirement in 1983. She was a member of St. Victor Catholic Parish. Elaine was a steadfast UW Badger and Green Bay Packer fan.
She was preceded in death by her devoted husband Don and her sisters, Gladys Lathers, Florence Walsh, Helen Schaeffer and Bernadine Daniels. She is survived by her four loving children, Marykay S. Tullis of Moraga, CA, Gerard W. of San Francisco, J Daniel of Warren, CT, and Barbra Stricker Studer of Monroe; her thoughtful sons-in-law, Ernie Studer of Monroe and Richard Tullis of Moraga, CA; her caring grandchildren, Katie and Meghan Studer, Charly and Matthew Tullis, Sara Tullis Regan, Erin Tullis Howard and Lilly; her great grandchildren Sierra, Devin, Ryan and Riley Regan and Ty Tullis; her nieces, Ellie Beilmann and Sally O'Malley Lathers; and her nephew, Eddie Daniels.
A memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, January 19, 2013 at 11:30am at St. Victor Catholic Church, 1760 14th St, Monroe. Private interment will be at the mausoleum in Resurrection Cemetery in Madison. Friends and relatives are invited to visit with her family from 10:30am preceding the memorial Mass at the church. The family requests that flowers be omitted and that memorials be made to the Knights of Columbus Badger Camp Fund or the University of Wisconsin Foundation Speech and Hearing Clinic Fund #1254723. Newcomer Funeral Home, Monroe is assisting the family.
Her lifelong sense of style is undeniable. And until we meet again, may God bless her and hold her in the palm of his hand.

Because nobody likes dirt and debris in their shoes.
The Outdoor Research Flex-Tex II Gaiters stop dirt, mud, and snow from entering trail running shoes, hiking boots, and cross-country ski boots. The single drawcord closure wraps around to the back of this low-profile gaiter, tightening into an "X" shape to fit a wide variety of shoes and boots. A high-visibility BioThane instep strap secures this gaiter to your shoes' or boots' soles, and the hook-and-loop front closure ensures a tight seal against debris.

- BioThane instep strap
- Single drawcord, shear tab top closure
- Hook-and-loop closure at front

Light gaiter good for when the snow isn't too deep
Thank you, Scott!

Keeps the crap out!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Debris in your shoes and boots is the worst. The Flex-Tex 2 gaiters work hard to prevent that from happening. Solid OR construction through out. I particularly like the straps on all OR gaiters. They are super durable. My OR Crocodiles lasted me almost 20 years I expect these to take the same beating.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Great for snow or muddy trails. Set them up with your favorite gore-tex shoes and you are set for any condition.
Thanks for the review, Greg! The Flex Tex gaiters are great!
OR Rep
Great Fit Great Product again by OR
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Use them for snowshoeing in the north cascades, have used them in 2 ft of snow for just regular hiking that I have ran into, they just work after 5 hours of hiking around still dry all the way up to the coverage area. You should not be disappointed and I do recommended to those looking for boot coverage.
Thank you for the review, Donald!

How would these do in warm weather? I'm soon going to be doing an event that will entail hiking completely off trail for 30+ miles in the mountains. Expecting temps ranging from lows of around 50 to highs of possibly 90. I'm not worried about the lows, but don't want to be any more miserable than I have to be in the heat of the day. Thanks!
Girlfriend wears 9.5 x-country boots, 9.5 sneakers, 9 bean boots. Should she get s/m or l/xl ?
I would go with the L/XL for her. I just looked up the info with OR and that's what they would recommend. Enjoy!

do these give any snake defence
do these give any snake defence
Hey again Rod,
Just answered your same question on the Rab Latok Alpine Gaiter. Pretty much all of our gaiters that we keep in stock are designed more with climbing and mountaineering in mind and intended to keep your legs safe from accidental brushes with stick, sharp rocks, and climbing crampons. A snakes hypodermic needle like fangs would likely still be able to break through on these but are better than nothing. I strongly suggest getting a pair of gaiters that are more designed for the task if you are going to be tempting fate and walking around in a snake pit.

Treasure Chest Thursday: A Few Thoughts on Standards
The image above is from the first page of a photocopied 11-page typescript by Nanetta Hobbs Tice. What you're seeing is the full width of the page--there are no margins. Nan hand-printed some notes at the bottom of the page, and for the sake of posting here, I've cropped them off. Any and all dark notes or inked lines are hers; the only markings I've added are the lightly pencilled RIN numbers beside names, which I hoped would help me stay on track as I struggled to make sense of this data and enter it into my first family tree software twenty years ago.
Nan typed this in 1972. What work it must have been then, to try and keep order to the data, to type or hand-write everything. That was before family tree software. There were no PCs; it looks like Nan didn't even have access to those fancy family group sheets we depended upon before the PC. Did they exist in 1972? I don't know. My discovery of pedigree charts and family group sheets at a bookstore in the late 1980s is what really brought me to genealogy as an avocation. Before that, I had no clue how to organize the information I'd gotten from my grandma back in the '60s. For twenty years, my entire genealogy looked like this (and by that I mean this is all of it, right here in the picture!):
I don't remember how "Clann Cearr" came into my hands, but it was accompanied by another thirteen photocopied pages of notes which were entirely handwritten (by Nan or by someone else? I don't know). It must have been in a vertical file somewhere. I don't know Nan personally, and I don't think I ever corresponded with her.
I'm sure the first thing most of my genealogically inclined friends would notice about "Clann Cearr" (and heartily decry!) is the complete lack of documentation or source citation. And I shudder to think of the hue and cry and... excuse me for a moment while I strap on my bicycle helmet... the possible pummeling about the head and shoulders that may arise upon my announcing to the entire blogosphere that I added all of these undocumented kinfolk to my family tree database. Yes, the database. The one into which goes everybody... documented, undocumented, sourced or unsourced.
Are you groaning? Smirking? Dismissing me forthwith as a careless dabbler, or worse, a rampant moron tainting the genealogical universe with eternally bad information? I've definitely picked up the scent of that attitude wafting through the genealogical community from time to time. If you secretly (or not so secretly, for that matter) answered yes to any of those questions, I understand why. But it would be fair of you to take the next minute or two to consider a different viewpoint.
First of all, I acknowledge and confess that my genealogy will never be done to perfection. That's not my goal, and I don't think it should be. If it were, the doing would cease to be a pleasure; it would become an obligation, a test, a source of anxiety. That's not what I look for in an avocation.
That brings me to my next point: I am not in the business of selling genealogical services for money. If I were, I would hold myself to a professional standard for my paying customers; after all, if I were the paying client, that's what I would be paying for. But again, this is my avocation, not my vocation.
My third and final point (for now, anyway!) is this: my database is where I do my thinking, my comparing, my filing... wait, let me put that a different way. My database is where I choose to do my thinking, my comparing, my filing. It's mine, and if I wish to store 4993 as yet undocumented, unsourced, probable ancestors and cousins in there with the dozen that are almost (but not quite) perfect, that's okay with me. That's where I'll look for them later when I find the opportunity to do the research. If you want to keep separate databases for the proven and the unproven, you go right ahead, but for me that would be a source of total confusion.
Speaking of sources of total confusion, let's get back to "Clann Cearr." I've chosen to feature this typescript today because, despite the fact that it's undocumented, unsourced, and all but indecipherable, I consider it a great treasure, and one for which I am profoundly grateful--to Nan, to Arthur Kerr of the Kerr Family Association who provided the data to her, and to the unnamed others who shared their undocumented, unsourced data with the Kerr Family Association prior to 1972. I am glad--so very, very glad--to have it. Whether it's perfect or fraught with errors doesn't matter. It's still a guide for me and will help me get where I want to go.
I'm curious to know how other genealogists and family historians will respond in the poll below. You can choose as many answers as apply to you, and you can also add an answer of your own if the poll doesn't include a point that matters to you.

It would sadden me greatly to see anyone who works on their family history check: "I never source my data entries--too much work!"
that is one of the most important things you can do - even if the source is: because G-aunt Vespacia said so.

I source almost everything however there are quite a few I suspect would cringe when they read them! Entering "Interview with Mom, Oct 07" or Smith tree@ancestry work for me. I know where I found the info and can judge it's value later. I often add "unproven" info to my tree and usually remember to add in the notes section that it's my working theory. If I don't add it how on earth will I remember what I was thinking two or three days from now?!
I have both my full tree and several trees that only cover certain branches online so I checked both boxes for that section.

Wonderful. Food for everyone to chew on. Personally, I put everything in the big, bad database. I would forget that I went to Richland County, OH, copied deeds for a guy with the "right" name. But, the deeds and other research caused me to conclude he is the "wrong" guy. If I forget, I repeat. Sometimes I repeat anyway. So, I have an extra guy or two (or 20) with the right names, locations and son on. They have sources, including deeds which prove they are Mr. WRONG, not Mr. RIGHT. Unfortunately most of my surnames are like Smith and Brown, not particularly unique. To me, ruling out "Mr. WRONG" is an important step on the road to finding "Mr. RIGHT".

Very interesting poll!
Basically everything goes into my database and gets sourced as much as possible.
I do keep a second database, specifically for research about one surname. But, other than that, I've got the one database, sourced as much as possible, and probably imperfect regardless. ;)

Great article and poll, TK. I have taken the poll and it is certainly food for thought. As you know, I only have one line of my 8 great-grandparent surnames in my FTM completely. I am slowly adding in the others and trying to source as I go along. It is true, too, that it is very easy to forget where data came from when it was received 10 years ago, put in a box and now out to enter in FTM.

Great post - and I can relate to it totally. You put into words so much better than I ever have what my database is - a place to "do my thinking, my comparing, my filing.." When I read that I said, "YES, I do that too"
I would never check the "I don't source it's too much work" - but I love having my guesses, my almost proven and my total shots in the dark all there together.

Thank you for your thought provoking post. It has helped me clarify some of my own priorities and standards: (1) it is my desire to provide accuracte source documentation for as much of my data as possible; (2) as the unofficial "family historian" for both my family and my wife's, I have chosen to include the research of other family members even though the only documentation is "provided by Cousin Dave;" and (3) I have chosen NOT to contribute my database to online collectiions such as Ancestry.com or RootsWeb's OneWorldTree because much of it is a hodge-podge of documented and undocumented, but I do have it online on my own website.
I am in the process revising 8 separate databases by providing source citations where possible. Those 8 will be merged together and eventually will replace my current online database. I strive to learn from the professional genealogists and even to emulate their adherence to standards, but I do not choose to restrict myself to presenting only "proven" data.
For me, genealogy is a dance in which "proven and "undocumented" whirl around the dance floor together -- occasionally stepping on each others toes, sometimes "wow-ing" the on-lookers with the grace of their steps, and mostly just keeping time with the music.

Thanks so much, everyone, for participating in the poll and for your comments. I'm really enjoying this little peek into how others do things!
Granny Pam, in a million years it probably would not have occurred to me to leave somebody who's been proven to be Mr. Wrong in my database, but your explanation about the proof of Wrong-ness being right there with him... awesome! I see where I could (and probably have!) repeated because of having forgotten, and it would be so useful to just be able to look up those names in my database first and see that I've already detached Mr. Wrong from the tree and why. In fact, this very afternoon I came across an old handwritten pedigree chart with Miss Wrong and her ancestors on it along with my ? and "is this ours?" notation by her name. Did I write down the answer, "NOT OURS" on it? No, duh, and so I had to sit there and wonder, did I already deal with this or not? I shudder to think how many more stray papers like that may be nestled down in a box somewhere...
PopPop, I love your dance analogy!

I started AMVs because I really like anime and such? tl;dr version is some guy posted his AMVs on Neopets (yes, I used to go on Neopets), I asked him how he made them, he told me the basics of Kazaa + Windows Movie Maker and an addiction was born. That was almost 9 years ago.
Beyond the headache that being involved in multiple projects causes, pretty good.

I'd give you that, but it'd have to be to a team that either has a cpl picks (Vikes) or can use him as a true #3 weapon because they don't have many other needs (SF).
Every time I watch Austin highlights I see a slightly smaller Percy harvin. In today's nfl he is worth #12.

Bess is still a very good/underrated player and I wouldn't just dump him for Austin, Austin is a big improvement over Bess IMO but we have much bigger needs than slot receiver. Eifert is the way to go at 12 IMO.
No one says you have to release Bess if you draft Austin. Imagine those guys underneath TOGETHER on the field, right? right? Yeh thats what i'm talkin about. Exciting stuff.

The Young Blood Of K-1
- Written by Dave Walsh
Age. It's the unbeatable enemy of every athlete. Time cannot be stopped and one day, every athlete will succomb to it. The body gets to a point where it won't perform like it once did and even though the mind is willing, championships aren't won on mental strength alone.
K-1 fighters are no different and are probably more susceptible because of the physical toll that professional kickboxers must endure to reach the top and stay there for any amount of time. A fact that makes what Peter Aerts accomplished on December, 11th at the WGP Finals, all that more impressive. The Dutch Lumberjack, along with many of the top stars in K-1, are getting older. The aforementioned Aerts is 40. Jerome Le Banner is 38. Remy Bonjasky is 34 and on the brink of retirement due to an eye injury. Semmy Schilt is 37. I could go on but you see what I'm getting at - K-1 is growing old and in need of young stars to step up and fill the holes that will be left by all those giants of the sport when age has finally caught up with them. Who will that be? Let's look at some.
Ewerton Teixeira - 28: The multi-time Kyokushin Karate champion turned K-1 kickboxer, has had an up-and-down career. He began in 2008 by knocking out Yusuke Fujimoto and Tsutomu Takahagi. He later went on to defeat the veteran Musashi by decision. Things seemed to be going well for the Brazilian and then 2009 happened. Ewerton won two lackluster fights over Jerome Le Banner and Singh Heart Jaideep. I can vouch for the Jaideep fight being one of the most boring I've ever watched. Those two fights were a classic example of the win only meaning something on paper - nobody felt good about Ewerton going forward. Luckily, 2010 was much better for him as he defeated Alex Roberts by TKO in Canberra. He then went on to fight Peter Aerts at the Final 16 and pushed the fight all the way to an extension round before losing to the mighty Dutchman. Many are calling it fight of the year. Teixeira then capped off a resurgant 2010 by beating Errol Zimmerman in the reserve match of the World Grand Prix in Tokyo.
With continued performances like those we saw last year, Ewerton Teixeira will be a K-1 star for years to come.
Tyrone Spong - 25: After being born in the small South American country of Suriname, Tyrone Spong would later move to the Netherlands at age 7. It would prove to be a life-changing decision as Tyrone would go on to become a Muay Thai and kickboxing phenom. Tyrone trains under Mr. Perfect Ernesto Hoost and Lucien Carbin out of Team Fighting Factory Carbin. King of the Ring competed for years at lighter weight classes before moving to heavyweight. He's short for a heavyweight fighter but Tyrone is beginning to figure out how to use his size, speed and athleticism to his advantage against larger opponents. With a record of 65-6 and a trainer like Ernesto Hoost, the future is bright for Tyrone Spong.
Errol Zimmerman - 24: Look up unfulfilled potential and you're sure to see a picture of Errol Zimmerman. Being a Dutch Muay Thai champion and K-1 GP champion, you would think Bone Crusher would continue his rise to the top. Unfortunately, as we've seen with so many others, a taste of early success has managed to derail Zimmerman from his career and caused him to acclimate himself to the night club instead of the gym. And this isn't a shabby gym nobody has ever heard of. Golden Glory is one of the premier gyms for kickboxers. They have no shortage of talented sparring partners as Alistair Overeem and Gokhan Saki train there, among others. Errol has all of the potential and resources needed to become a great fighter. He must dedicate himself to training and focus on being an elite athlete that is capable of winning championships. I'm looking for improvement from Zimmerman in 2011 and hopefully establishing himself among the sports best.
Gokhan Saki - 27: You will not find a more tenacious fighter than Gokhan Saki. The Rebel throws three punch combinations capitalized by a vicious leg kick, quicker than most can throw two punches. Saki is an example of what can be accomplished when you take natural talent and combine it with hard work and good teammates. Look up his devastating TKO victory over Freddy Kemayo for evidence. I believe that had he not been injured going into his semi-final match at the WGP Final against Alistair Overeem, things would have been much different. Not saying that he would have beat Alistair, but he certainly had a good shot at it. Look at the damage he was doing with just his left hand! I believe we'll see these two rematch at some point down the road and it will be a war. If Saki sees success in the States fighting for Strikeforce MMA like he has talked about, it will only bolster his image as one of K-1's elite moving forward. I see great things ahead for this Turkish marauder.
Daniel Ghita - 29: The first Romanian to ever qualify for a World Grand Prix Final is one heck of a kickboxer. Ghita is known for his devastating leg kicks and lately, his hands have improved as well; evidenced by his highlight reel KO of Errol Zimmerman at the 2010 Final 16 in Seoul. He beat Peter Aerts record of 6:43 seconds to win a K-1 tournament, a record that stood for 10 years, by leg kicking his way through three opponents to become the Tokyo GP champion in just 5:15. A huge accomplishment by the Romanian and it made the K-1 world take notice. The standout fight of Ghita's career is certainly his 4 round war against Gokhan Saki. The fight began with a frenetic pace that didn't let up for the whole round. The punishment inflicted by both of these fighters upon each other was incredible. It's no wonder that Saki was so badly injured by Daniel's relentless attack, that Saki couldn't continue in his match against Alistair. That's what Ghita is capable of and I believe we'll see much more of that in the future from the mighty Romanian.
Badr Hari - 26: What might have been... I hope that's not how we reflect upon the career of Badr Hari when he's decided to call it quits. One of the most naturally gifted fighters to come on the scene in some time, Badr Hari seemed to have the K-1 world in his hands. That is, until he decided to stomp Remy Bonjasky in the face after a knockdown at the 2008 WGP Final to hand Remy the title and $400,000. It was a sign of things to come as the Golden Boy would go on to repeat nearly the same behavior against Hesdy Gerges at an IT'S SHOWTIME 2010 event in Amsterdam. This behavior caused the Dutch crowd to actually boo the Netherlands native. Combine this with his penchant for run-ins with the law and Badr has had more than his share of troubles. But he's also had more than his share of success. Badr is one of the sports most dangerous fighters. Just ask Stefan Leko who had his jaw broken by a spinning high kick from Hari. A highlight KO that led fans to name the kick, the "Leko Buster." Badr let his hands do the talking in fights against Ruslan Karaev and Errol Zimmerman, knocking them both out convincingly in two of the most entertaining fights I've had the pleasure to watch. For all the things that Badr does that make you scratch your head, he can do even more in the ring when he maintains his composure and focuses. I believe there's no question that Hari can win multiple titles in K-1 and he'll take a step towards that in 2011.
Alistair Overeem - 30: The oldest fighter on the list but the most accomplished, as well. Alistair Overeem is to the point in his career where you don't really have to give reasons for his inclusion on lists such as these. He holds the K-1 World Grand Prix title, the Strikeforce MMA heavyweight title, and the DREAM MMA interim heavyweight title. With credentials such as those, nuclear knees and precision striking, The Reem is a force to be reckoned with no matter who the opponent may be. I see Alistair continuing that dominance for years to come. He is totally committed to being the best fighter in the world and has enough years ahead of him to fully establish himself as one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up the gloves.
While the aging stars that we all know and cheer for are growing older, the future of K-1 is bright with talent.

The latter is about a family of 12, two sets of twins, sextuplets and parents. One of the sextuplets has cerebral palsy and she is the cutest of the bunch. I don't know what it is about it, but I can watch that show and just cheer up instantly. 18 Kids and Counting is the last one, yes it's odd and different, but still enjoyable.

Family: Canidae, Dogs view all from this family
Description Similar to the Swift Fox but with a longer tail and larger ears. The Kit Fox is distinguished by its longer tail (62% head and body length vs. 52%), larger ears (more than 75mm) set close to the midline of the skull, a head that is broader between the eyes but narrower at the snout, and more slitlike, less-rounded eyes. The pelage is generally gray, but mixed with rusty overtones, and the tail has a black tip. Prefers shrub-steppe and desert habitats.
Dimensions 73-84cm, 26-32cm, 1.4-2.7kg
Endangered Status The San Joaquin Kit Fox, a subspecies of the Kit Fox, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. Before the 1800s, the grasslands of California were second in size only to the Great Plains. Today only 1 percent of the state's native grasslands remains. The San Joaquin Kit Fox is a grassland and scrubland inhabitat and has suffered from the modification of these habitats. Industry, development, and various types of agriculture (in the forms of row crops, orchards, vineyards, and livestock forage) have taken over many of these lands. Suitable remaining habitats are fragmented, meaning the foxes occur in small and isolated populations. These small numbers make the everyday dangers of life in the modern-day wild -- predators, starvation, flooding or drought, poaching, automobiles -- even more significant than they are in a healthy and widespread population.
Similar Species Similar to the Swift Fox but with a longer tail and larger ears.
Breeding Males and females bond in the fall and breed in winter, but pairs may not persist from year to year. Litters of 3-14 cubs are born in March-April. Constructs elaborate den systems connected by tunnels, with multiple dens having many separate entrances.
Habitat Canyons & caves, Deserts, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Grasslands & prairies
Range Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Texas, California, Northwest
Discussion Primarily nocturnal, but occasionally active at all hours, it feeds predominantly on rodents and lagomorphs, but also takes small birds, fish, and insects.

This was supposed to be an experiment in journalling software development, but it's turning out to be "link Bitching & Moaning". :-(
My new Linux box arrived yesterday... Guess what? It doesn't run Linux!
Compaq went and switched chipsets on me (440BX->815E?) and now I have a rilly rilly cool box; with no sound and no network. Strangely enough, though, it gets an SMP kernel from the RH Installer. I know the Coppermine is supposed to be fast, but come on! :-)
If anyone has gotten Red Hat 6.2 to behave on one of Compaq's new 733MHz Deskpro EN SFF models (with "Integrated Intel® PRO/100 VM Network Connection" and "Integrated Intel® Audio with Premium Internal Speaker") then, please, do give me a holler. Without networking I'm dead in the water and without sound (read: music) I can't code worth a damn.
Maybe there's something in Rawhide, or possibly Mandrake... *sigh*
Oh, and there's still no sign of my new G4MP. 2 x *sigh*

Thread: Nitrate in tap water...
Nitrate in tap water...
It's been one thing after another so far.
Cycling an aquarium with one poor albino shark (Epalzeorhynchos munense)... did not want to be doing this but unfortunately the seller threw out all the media and replaced it with new.
Been going for a few days and ammonia is between 0.25 and 0. Nitrites aren't reading... but joy of joys I appear to be getting around 40~80ppm of Nitrate straight out the tap. I've tested the water in the tank, the water after it's been dechlorinated and just straight out the tap. All three read the same. Tank isn't cycled so I know it's not the end result of that.
Tested with an API Freshwater master test kit. Tested multiple times, shaking the second bottle for the full 30 seconds.
I've researched this and come back with the information that I need either an algae scrubber, RO filter, nitrate filter or several chemicals which most people are saying do nothing. They either detoxify the nitrate, turn it into something worse or make a negligible difference.
Living in a single bedroom flat I've not really got the room for an algae scrubber and can't exactly afford the filters which all require expensive monthly cartridge replacements. If there's no other alternative and if the chemicals really are as bad as people say, I can somehow make the room for a scrubber but it's really far from ideal (though admittedly pretty neat looking). Not even sure if I can afford the electric bill with all that hefty lighting...
Anyone got any idea where to go from here? Thanks in advance.
Ah, one of those regions of the UK..
Hmm.. there's some options, resin based filters like this one: http://www.pozzani.co.uk/water-filte...duct_info.html which is relatively cheap
Another option, plant well with fast growing plants. I've noticed that amazon frogbit consumes amazing amounts of nitrate for such a small plant.
Third option, bite the bullet, get a small reverse osmosis system. Entry level systems costs about 50-60 quid.. If you treat that with care you won't need a new filter all that often. You could mix tap/ro in 70/30 probably.
Fourth option, make a few calls to aquatic shops in your area, see if anyone sells RO water.
In any case, you might want to bother your water company a bit, this level is at or even over what's healthy for human consumptionMy 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Norfolk, unfortunately. Despite being in the middle of town the surrounding land is pretty much all farming... I'm guessing that's the cause. In hind sight I perhaps should have checked the tap water before committing to the fish...
I'll look into the resin based filter. My main concern with that initially was if it would be able to handle large amounts of water. I own a 55 gallon which isn't running, I've been setting it up for about six months now as a really low end brackish tank. Also own the 75 litre which contains the poor old shark, that will eventually become a quarantine tank and the shark will be going in a second 55g (in a few months time) so I can expand it to a community tank.
Not sure how cost effective it would be if the filter had to handle water changes for 110 (UK) gallons of tanks...
The Amazon frogbit looks super interesting. Everything I've looked at about it seems to state that it would do well in both tanks, even the brackish. I'll get some into the 75 litre and see how it works. Just need to replace the bulbs as the "day" one is blown and the night effect will be useless. Will swap them both out for two "day lights". Not sure how effective 30w of lighting will be... but it's worth a shot.
Unfortunately no shops sell RO water near here. I don't own transport as I usually walk everywhere so can't even drive out and get some.
Of course, my commitment is to the fish I already have as opposed to what I want to setup. If I need to downsize heavily to keep it all within budget, I'll do it. My interest has always been with brackish fish and it'd be a kick in the teeth to have to pack that down but if it's a choice between letting the fish suffer and having a brackish tank or a happy fish and no brackish. The choice is crystal clear, every time.
I will prod Anglian water and see what's going on there though.
Thanks a lot! I'll go away and chew on this, see what I can sort out.
High nitrates in humans is also dangerous especially in babies. Many links on this but I just grabbed the first one I saw.
Have you been having a lot of rain lately? I would test that tap water without adding the dechlorinator to it. It's not needed to do a test anyway and to test it without just might give you a different result.
(Process of elimination.) update: Never mind. I just read your post again!

It did rain yesterday but it's actually been the nicest week we've had so far this year. Unsure if it'd be enough to increase the field run off? I'll keep testing and look for any noticeable changes over the next few weeks.
In the meantime I've decided to go down the floating plant path... if that doesn't push it down into acceptable levels in the tank, I'll invest in the nitrate removal filter. Tank is really well oxygenated and I'm not seeing any signs of distress. He's just continuously looking for food as always.
Thanks for the help! Lot more confident I can get this sorted now.
Field run off generally takes days to reach you.
Good luck with this!My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Sometimes nitrates will raise like that if there's been a lot of melting snow or heavy rains and often it's short term. Hope so in your case. I lived in FL for several years and always had to have my well water go into a unit that filtered out all that stuff. Of course FL water is pretty darned gross and wells were swallow, too.
I'd suggest a nitrate reducing sponge like Purigen or De-Nitrate by Seachem's or whatever is available in your region. There are even nitrate reactors to put the product in if you don't want to use a bag.
This is why I ask on the forums as well as research. I'd never of thought of that.
So if this nitrate is temporary, there are products out there I can just run to get through the spell. Good to know. My "Fishkeeping" list of bookmarks is becoming unmanageably large...
When I first read up about it and saw tons of stuff on algae scrubbers and £300 RO units I was just about ready to kick it in.
Products like Chemi-Pure, Purigen, etc, are good. Some of it comes in bags already packed and others come loose in jars that you have to add to a mesh bag or even a pair of panty hose would work. Nitrates of 80 is pretty astonishing, tho. 40 is manageable and could be contained with a nitrate reducer and even some floating plants. Plants will help but certainly won't reduce nitrates to the extent you need it lowered. Those reactors work very well if it comes to that. Good luck and I hope your problem corrects itself.
Is higher nitrate levels common around the UK
I have often wondered why algae scrubbers were so popular in the UK, but if it is farly common to have higher nitrates, that certainly could explain the popularity.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
