In addition to being Presidents' Day, yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of John Glenn's historic trip into space. Although there was some planning, he packed no bag and he didn't have much choice in his travel wardrobe. And he certainly didn't have an annoying travel companion. In 1962, Glenn boarded Friendship 7, not much more than a converted ballistic nuclear missile, and was blasted into space, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.
There was no travel insurance. In fact, several earlier launch attempts were abject failures. NASA scientists weren't even sure if Glenn's eyesight would survive zero-G weightlessness. But NASA was in a hurry. There was a rush to get Glenn in orbit, whether it was safe or not, whether it was possible or not. Russia had beaten the U.S. in the space race five years earlier by launching Sputnik, a silver ball with a flashing light on it. National pride was on the line.
Now that NASA's manned space program is idle, the only ride into space for an American astronaut is aboard a Russian rocket. Yet the demand by civilians for space tourism is growing. It's a final frontier for those who have checked everything else off their must-see list.
Top 10 Undiscovered Destinations
The U.K.'s Sir Richard Branson began organizing Virgin Galactic in 2004 and began test flights in 2008. Virgin Galactic has its sights set on launching wealthy adventurers into orbit from the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport, currently underway in New Mexico. The space vehicles are "designed and built with revolutionary, but proven technology" according to Virgin Galactic's Web site, with safety "engrained in the culture of our space line operation."
To experience space travel, you'll have to be age 22 to 88 at the time of the launch and endure two days of G-force and safety training. From 50,000 feet in the air, not the ground, you'll accelerate to about 3,000 mph, nearly four times the speed of sound, and launched to about 68 miles above the Earth's surface. The total trip takes about 3 hours, with only a few minutes out of your seat to experience weightlessness and the stunning views.
9 Destinations to Visit in 2012
Although Virgin Galactic has been taking deposits to hold reservations on SpaceShipTwo since 2005, the price has been reduced and will continue to go down. The current starting price for flights is $200,000 with refundable deposits starting from $20,000.

Too Cold to Run
Lexington, Kentucky -
(WLEX) The bitterly cold temperatures were too much for a Kentucky inmate on the run.
42-year-old Robert Vick turned himself into Lexington Police, riddled with frostbite.
Officers took him into custody at the Sunset Motel, only a few miles from the Blackburn Correction Complex where he escaped Sunday night.
People there said Vick showed up freezing and asking to be turned into police.
"He was ready to go back," said Maurice King, who manages the Sunset Motel.
After Vick walked away from his six-year sentence for burglary and five-year sentence for criminal possession of a forged instrument, Mother Nature had a harsher punishment.
"He's frostbit, his toes and his fingers," said Victoria Fugate who was staying at the Sunset Motel.
Sunday night he was asking for help when he showed up to Fugate's door.
"He was hungry the dude knocked on our door, we gave him a ham and cheese sandwich, we gave him some hot chocolate," said Fugate.

Still Dancing! Green Bay Wins at Iowa State, 71-57
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
AMES, Iowa (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay has an All-American named Julie Wojta (Francis Creek, Wis.), but it also has Eichler. And Bauer. And Ritchie. And so on. And it also still has an unblemished record on the road. No. 10/10 Green Bay (31-1), the seventh seed in the Kingston Region, used incredible balance and stifling defense to race out to a big halftime lead and post a convincing 71-57 victory at tenth-seeded Iowa State (18-13) Saturday evening in a first round NCAA Tournament game at Hilton Coliseum.
Green Bay, making its fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, has now won a tournament game in three consecutive seasons and now has the first road tournament win in its history. The Phoenix improved to 13-0 on the road in 2011-12, but when its steps on the Hilton Coliseum floor on Monday for its second-round game, it will be a neutral court. Green Bay will meet second-seeded Kentucky (26-6) on Monday night at approximately 8:30 p.m. CT.
"Incredibly proud of our team," said head coach Matt Bollant. "We talk a lot about playing as hard as any team in the country, and wow in that first half we did that. So pleased with how hard we played."
With Iowa State's defense keying on Wojta, Green Bay used a combined 25 first-half points from juniors Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) and Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) to lead 42-23 at halftime. A triple from junior Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) right before the halftime buzzer, her third three-pointer of the half, sent the Phoenix into the locker room with significant momentum after a 20-5 run over the past five minutes.
Eichler and Bauer each scored 16 points to lead the Phoenix while Ritchie added 15 points (13 in the first half). The trio combined to hit 10 three-pointers as Green bay went 11-of-29 from long range, including 9-of-18 in the opening half. The Phoenix hit five of its last six three-pointers in the half, with Bauer coming out of a recent slump to make 3-of-4. She finished 4-of-7 from long range.
"What great balance in that first half," said Bollant. "To see Lydia step up and hit three threes, including the one at the end of the half. It was a remarkable first half. We played really loose and really confident."
While those three players were scoring 34 points on one end in the first 20 minutes, the Phoenix defense was dominating the Cyclones on the other end. During the Green Bay run which featured five made field goals by the Phoenix, Iowa State went just 1-of-3 from the field and committed five turnovers. Iowa State had 19 of its 30 turnovers in the first half.
Green Bay did not let up in the second half, getting three field goals from Wojta in the first three minutes as Green Bay increased its lead to 53-31 with 12:24 to play. Iowa State answered with a 10-run to cut the deficit to 12, but the Cyclones never cut their deficit to single digits.
"This group has a lot of poise," said Bollant. "They made some great plays and knocked down some threes and got the crowd involved, and it became a tough environment. We were just trying to take care of the basketball, and I think we handled it really well."
Wojta had 10 points in the second half and finished with 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes.
"We just love the competition," said Wojta of the team's play. "It is a blue dot game and we just love playing together. We have such good team chemistry and we just go out and fight together and give everything we have to the game."
The 30 turnovers are the most by a Green Bay opponent in its NCAA Tournament history. Wojta had six of the team's 20 steals on the night, also a Phoenix tournament record. Freshman Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) tallied just two points but had four of the team's steals, grabbed five rebounds and committed just two turnovers.
Junior Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) played vital minutes for the Phoenix and took advantage of her time on the floor, going 4-for-4 from the field and scoring eight points in 13 minutes.
On Monday, Green Bay will have a chance for its second consecutive trip to the Sweet 16. Kentucky (26-6), the regular season champions from the Southeastern Conference, defeated McNeese State 68-62 on Saturday evening.
"They are a really good basketball team," said Bollant. "What a difference in the contrast of styles. I'm not sure we could play two more different teams. They are really athletic and take a lot of pride in turning you over and take a lot of pride in going to the offensive glass. They have a great program."
For ticketing information, please visit Cyclones.com. Single-session and all-session ticket packages are available. Single-session tickets are being sold for $18 for adults and #13 for youth.

Ron and Doreen Briggs
Everton Upper (near Wangaratta), Victoria
President of the North-east Victorian Cattleman's association, Ron managed to get the original run on the Bogong High Plains in 1956.
In 2005 he lost the grazing licence when cattle were banned from the Alpine National Park. Active in his 70s and working over 400 acres near Wangaratta, he feels devastated by the loss of what he sees as his cultural heritage.
So much of today's farming practice is heavily dependent on efficiency and economics determining how you work your property.
Ron sees decision making processes within government as flawed and detrimental to the continuity of a healthy agricultural industry. Ron has been a long standing Landcare member and has planted many trees on his property, managing the land in an environmentally sensitive way.
Ron feels quite bitter about the management of the parks being taken away from the Forestry Commission over 20 years ago and the responsibility being given to Parks Victoria. He feels that in not allowing fuel reduction burning and grazing in the north–east over the years made the 2003 fires much worse than they should have been.
While running and managing cattle on his own property, he has also worked destroying rabbit habitat on neighbouring properties for the local Landcare group.
An accomplished horseman, Ron still looks after and uses horses on his property. He and his wife Doreen have many grandchildren who live locally, as their own children have chosen to stay in the north-east of Victoria. The most galling thought that Ron has is that he sees no future in farming for any of his children or grandchildren.
Audio and transcript
Listen to Ron's story (MP3 file 726kb)
Duration: 1 minute, 32 seconds
My father was just working for the forestry, and I went to school, then I went to Melbourne working for a couple of years. But then my father got on to this bush block. So I bought that and I came back and worked at Brighton and we used to get the original run on the Bogong High Plains and starting taking cattle up there, in 1958 I suppose.
The government changes the rules. Everytime you go to do a subdivision, now it's a 100 acres, you can't sell it.
They've taken away our water right, our right to store water on our farms. You've got to have water but the government won't build dams just to supply Melbourne so they've just robbed it from the north-east farmers.
They make it a National Park and then they extend the boundaries of the National Park and that brings it right down to your fence. It's a double whammy because they take away your right to graze, but then they, all the pest animals, just build up and they just hop into your place as well.
Well there's no future as far as ... I'll put it this way, if you won Tattslotto and put it back into the farm you would only be squandering the money.

At one point in the first act of Matthew Ivan Bennett's madcap comedy "A Night with the Family," daughter Bree is running to the bathroom to throw up, mom Diane is passionately kissing her sexy French-Canadian boyfriend Antoine, and son Donny is having a panic attack brought on by a misunderstanding with his new wife, while dad Donald whips up undrinkable herbal smoothies in the kitchen. It's just a typical Christmas Eve in the life of a far-from-typical family in Salt Lake City.
Pygmalion Productions is giving the play its regional premiere in an energy-filled, often-chaotic production that sometimes works and other times doesn't. What "A Night with the Family" has going for it is some clever writing and an assemblage of truly unique characters portrayed by actors who understand their quirks. When it falters, it's because Bennett doesn't always know what to do with them.
This family gives "dysfunctional" a new meaning, yet their behavior is grounded in familiar patterns. Packrat Donald (Andrew Maizner) is obsessed with New Age philosophy and has raised his son to see a world filled with warriors, orphans, and caretakers. In Donny's absence, Donald has turned his son's bedroom into a sweat lodge. Diane (Teresa Sanderson) is a force of nature whose mothering is more like smothering. She announces, "A door cannot stop a mother's love" as she barges into the house and points out the dirt on Bree's sweater as she hugs her. She and Donald split up 17 years earlier, and Donny remembers, "You were here every Friday with a new boyfriend."
Understandably both children have tried to incorporate order and control into their lives in different ways. Donny (Jay Perry), the obvious favorite, is hopelessly neurotic; his current meltdown is due to his wife wanting to change the terms of the "commitment agreement" he made her sign when they married. Bree (Elise Groves) has become a Mormon and has four young children, but she is getting frustrated with her self-assigned role of peacemaker and the person who cleans up after everyone else.
Antoine (Jesse Peery) is the least-defined character. A flamboyant modern dancer, he seems merely intent on avoiding drowning in the tidal waves launched by various family members. He does offer some sensible advice in Act II.
"A Night with the Family" has very funny moments flavored with witty one-liners, but there is a lot of yelling in Act I that bludgeons the comedy and obscures lines. Act II is calmer, and we get a chance to know the characters better.
The performances are all very good. The actors do an enviable job of melding their individual character eccentricities into the ensemble feel of a family. Co-directors Lane Richins and Laurie Mecham keep the pace moving at a fast clip, although things get frenetic and out of control at times. Kit Anderton's cluttered set provides the perfect milieu for the action and reinforces Bree's observation: "Our exterior spaces reflect our interior ones." Teresa Sanderson's costumes emblem the personalities of their wearers; especially fun are the matching track suits for Diane and Antoine.
"A Night with the Family" is Bennett's first attempt at comedy, and it is understandably uneven. Yet his keen eye for character and clever way with words create both humor and insight about the way families behave.

|thanks for the advice 4jawchuck , i'm going with the umbrella type seals. As for the valve springs ,i checked there preasure buy hanging 45kg(95/105LB) off them and then measured there height(seat preasure) and then 120kg(260/275LB) and measured there height(full lift) ,these are the cam manuafacturers preasures and they worked out for my installed height and full lift height(+ or - a kg or so) so everything is going to plan at this stage, thanks again.
|4 Jaw Chuck
This just an opinion OK.
I have used the umbrella type with no problems whatsoever, the racing o-ring type keep less oil out if you are running loose clearances such as you would use for racing. The valve guide needs to be machined for them but if you have solid bronze inserts they will probably fit right on. I like the umbrella for the street as they lubricate the guide more and work just fine.
Your valve springs should have a pound rating for the height you have, if not take one down to your local engine builder and have one pressure checked at that height and also with the washer at that height. Make sure you have the height dimension with you that they would be at under full lift, check them at that height also. Now you have to decide if you need the extra spring pressure that the washer would provide. I doubt it.
I would check every valve for installed height because when the seats are ground they could be anywhere. Check for coil bind while your at it. You really should install one head to make sure everything will line up and there is no clearance problems with everything installed, check to make sure your rockers are not running off the valve stem or binding on the rocker post. Push rod lengths should be checked as well.
This is where a lot of beginner engine builders make mistakes, it really pays to mock up the engine dry to check out the valve train, especially if you have shaved the heads, decked the block etc.
To save time you can just mock one cylinder with valves installed with some light dummy springs just make sure to torque the heads down to get accurate readings. It may seem like overkill but at least you will know. The cam you have is not all that radical so I don't expect you will run into any problems.

Being welcomed to the site by explaining why the breeder they think is awesome is really a scumbag that is doing only the minimal whatever in somethings and not other things is tough to.
A lot of people who think their breeder is reputable, are wrong. Or maybe wrong by the standards set here. But we don't have to throw it all at them the minute they walk through the door.
If someone is growing in shepherd ownership, they will walk around this site, and learn plenty. At some point a lightbulb will go off, and they will realize that the puppy that they got from the guy down the road, probably came from a less than excellent breeder.
If we just slam people as they enter with all the "education" they will get defensive and most likely leave. I think that when we get defensive no learning occurs. And the subject matter becomes negatively charged, and we become entrenched in our belief, however erroneous. And so we hang onto it, almost desperately, way longer than is necessary.
The big problem is that with a bajillion members of all ages, intelligence levels, maturity levels, and wisdom levels, it is impossible to prevent someone's baptism by fire here. Sorry for the rant.
|The obvious answer is that unless the puppy came from a reputable breeder, then it's anybody's guess who the sire was. You know how it is. Or, how it can get, lol.
|It really is a good point and should be remembered
|Yes, whatever our dogs are we love them, and should not matter, if you wish to be a member here. Everyone could learn a lot here.

Why is it that people, when they have not been asked for an opinion on whether or not a puppy is mixed, they love to tell other people that their dog looks mixed?
We have read over and again in stories about perfect strangers coming up and asking what their obviously purebred dog is mixed with. And how that makes them feel.
Why do we feel compelled to welcome newcomers to the site by doing this exact thing?
I don't understand it.
GSDs range from 50 to 110 pounds, they have short fat muzzles and others have long skinny muzzles, some are low and heavy and straight across the back, others are slab sided, and angulated, they have long coats, plush coats, short coats, blue coats, bi color coats, sable coats, white coats, black coats, patterned coats, liver coats, and some say panda and brindle and honey almond colored coats.
They have big ears, or short thick ears, most have upright ears, but some ears never stand, tails are held in a saber position low, except when aroused or if they have a happy tail, sometimes they have curl at the end of their tail.
The difference between well-bred shepherds of different lines are very marked, and then there are all those who are breeding dogs of different lines together.
They can have white on their chest, and some have other spots of white like on their toes, and sometimes even on their muzzle. And they change a LOT between 6 weeks and 2 years.
In short, how can we look at a two dimensional picture of a puppy and decide that it does not look like a GSD? If someone asks and the pup screams Rottweiler to you, then I don't think we should just say, "Oh it's a pretty GSD you have there."
But when people don't ask? Why do we choose to welcome them by suggesting that their dog is not the genuine article.
Remember folks, that not everyone knows that many of us do have mixes and love them. When suggesting to someone that their dog looks mixed, people that have no experience here, probably think that we do not want them here with their less than perfect, possibly mixed dog.
None of us like people coming up and asking us what our dogs are mixed with. I wish we wouldn't do that to people who aren't asking.

HistoryKat Adds To Its US Postal Records
Posted by
Do you suspect your ancestor was a mail carrier or other US Postal Service employee? Or maybe he committed mail fraud?
If so, a visit to
may be in order. New postal records include:
index to railway postal clerks (1883 to 1902)
index to postal law violators
"first returns" listing postmaster appointees (1789 to 1832)
separation cards of terminated letter carriers (1863 to 1899)
records of substitute clerks (1899 to 1905) and mail carriers (1899 to 1903)
... and more
Soon to come: postmaster appointments (1832 to 1971) and departmental reports (1837 to 1950). These postal records are hard to come by online.
HistoryKat (brought to you by the same folks who run the
Genealogy Toolbox
Web portal and
genealogy search engine) also has records of other government employees, the military, and selected state and territorial censuses. Subscriptions cost $24.95 per year.

Faster, Better Web Searching for Your Ancestors
Posted by
The following tips will help you target your online ancestor searches. Try them out on our 2007 list of the
101 Best Web Sites for Genealogy
—you'll find these sites in the
September 2007 Family Tree Magazine
and on
Take a minute to read a site's search instructions
. They reveal tricks such as omitting a given name or including wildcards. In
's Exact Matches census searches, for instance, a * after three or more letters of a name represents up to six characters.
Use Boolean operators
such as
to focus search-engine queries:
"tom + clancy -hunt"
would help weed out results for the author of
The Hunt for Red October
, who doesn't happen to be your great-uncle Tom.
Use search engines to find information on a particular Web site
. So to locate
's advice on researching riverboat passengers, you could go to
and type in
riverboat site:familytreemagazine.com
. (Note this technique won't find people in online databases—but see our next tip.) PS: The riverboat advice is on our
Now What blog
• Database searches call up your ancestor's record only if an indexer entered the same information you're searching on—so
try different approaches
. Start by entering all you know about the person. If you don't get results, search with fewer terms and combinations of terms (such as the person's name and residence, or his name and birthplace).
Seek alternate name spellings
. Check the search tips to see whether a search automatically looks for similar names. Even if it does, try odd spellings: A census taker or an indexer might've interpreted the name so outlandishly that a "sounds like" search wouldn't pick up on it.
• On Web sites with multiple databases,
search individual databases one at a time
. Those customized search engines often include fields you won't get with the site's global search.

Allen County Library Records To Be Digitized
Posted by
The subscription and pay-per-view records service
announced it will digitize records in the
Allen County Public Library's genealogy collection.
That library, located in Fort Wayne, Ind., has the largest public genealogy collection in the United States.
The digitized records will be available free at the library and for a fee on Footnote. (We'll let you know when we learn which records are up first, and when you'll be able to access them online.)
Footnote has been around since 1997 (it was called iArchives), but made its splash on the genealogy scene early this year, when it announced a partnership to digitize records at the
National Archives and Records Administration
. It also has agreements with the
Pennsylvania state archives
and other repositories.
: I spoke yesterday with Footnote's Justin Schroepfer, who said the Allen County Library staff is deciding which records to start digitizing—so of course, he doesn't yet know when you'll see the first images online. Stay tuned.
A Footnote subscription costs $7.95 per month or $59.95 per year, or you can pay to view an individual record image for $1.95. The site offers a few
free databases
, including UFO reports.

Free Program Searches Google for Surname Variations
Posted by
Family Tree Magazine
author Rick Crume tried out a new, free download for your online genealogy searches. Here's his report:
Whenever you discover a new branch on your family tree, you probably head straight to
for a surname search. You may meet with success, but you could miss out on a discovery if you don't carefully word your query and consider alternate surname spellings.
So Matt Combs, a North Carolina software developer and genealogy aficionado, has targeted both problems with a new free program for Windows called
Surname Suggestion List
I downloaded the program and typed in my last name—Crume—and then clicked Search. The program produced 45 name variations in three groups: excellent matches, such as Crume, Crum and Crome; close matches, like Crom, Krum and Groome; and longshots, including Croom and Krom.
I clicked on Crume and hit the Google Search button. The program searched Google for
, producing 9,350 matches, several with extensive genealogical information. Adding more search terms, such as a first name or a place, whittles the matches to the most relevant sites. I added Bardstown, that family's Kentucky hometown, and got 113 matches.
To broaden your Surname Suggestion List search, click the Wider Search button. Then the program searches on
, which finds
plus synonyms such as
family tree
. You also can search on a range of years, but I found that option less useful.
You could go directly to Google and search for a last name and
, but the Surname Suggestion List comes up with alternate spellings you might not have thought to check. I've come across
in old documents, but I hadn't considered variations such as
Of course, Surname Suggestion List doesn't necessarily cover every possibility. (In this case, it didn't suggest Croome or Groom.) And it'd be nice if you could search on more than one name at a time. Still, the program is a very handy tool for Googling your ancestors.

Search Lower Canada Land Petitions Free Online
Posted by
A new
Library and Archives Canada
land petition database can help you find ancestors who lived in Lower Canada (where present-day Quebec is) between 1764 and 1841.
When New France became a British colony in 1763, the land-distribution system changed. New lands were now granted as part of townships instead of as
(the term for land the Crown granted to landlords, who in turn leased it to settlers).
With the change, many settlers submitted land petitions to the governor. The
Lower Canada Land Petitions database
indexes their petitions for grants or leases of land, as well as other administrative records. The site contains more than 95,000 references to individuals.
Search it by surname and given name. Try spelling variations and surname-only searches, since there's no Soundex searching.
Some records are linked to digitized images, but in most cases, matches show a year, volume and page number of the original record, and a microfilm number. Use the information to
request microfilm copies from the
Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec
Quebec national archives
You can access the Canadian national archives' Lower Canada Land Petitions and other databases from the

Funny Census Entries From Readers

We got a kick out of the funny census listings
Family Tree Magazine
readers submitted for the
September 2007
All in the Family column. I wish we had enough space to print them all in the magazine.
But there's plenty of space here, so I offer these additional humorous census entries to brighten up your Friday (to submit ancestral look-alikes to the
current All in the Family contest
, see the
Talk to Us Forum
Madison P. Glenn was born in February 1869, in Van Wert County, Ohio. Madison was 4 months old when the census enumerator visited and marked column 5 (for sex) as
Madison's gender must have been a mystery to the parents Clark and Elizabeth Glenn, to my fourth-great-uncle and -aunt, or to the neighbor who might've helped complete the form. Since Madison isn't listed in any later censuses, we never did find out how things developed.
Cherie P. Bowers
Byron, Mich.
My favorite census entry exhibits the creativity enumerators used when families weren't at home. I can't help but wonder, what if this family had had 10 children? What if they'd been Irish or Italian? What would the enumerator have come up with instead? From the 1889 Washington Territorial census:
Name of Persons
Dutchman, Mr. Germany
------- , Mrs. "
------- , Little "
------- , Small "
------- , Smaller "
------- , Smallest "
Lisa Oberg
Shoreline, Wash.
Another gender-bender
My grandmother's family of nine siblings was known for playing jokes on each other. Once, my great-uncle Llewellyn Brown (born 1882) was lampooned in a formal manner. In the 1901 Canadian census, I found
instead of
. I thought it might've been a spelling error, but he was also listed as
. My guess is Llewellyn's sisters were less interested in the accuracy of the official census than in perpetuating another round of family humor.
Marie Tovell Walker
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Was her mother named Goose?
The funniest name I've come across in the census is a woman named Bo Peep, listed in the 1910 census of Harrison County, WV, with her husband Lee Maxwell. I did a little further research and sure enough, there she was in a West Virginia marriage index: Bo Peep K. Smith. Her husband was a farmer; I wonder if he raised sheep?

Search Online Mortality Schedules for Free
Posted by
Bill Cribbs, the man behind the
free genealogy search engine site, has gathered hundreds of counties' online transcribed mortality schedules and made them searchable at
For the 1850 through 1880 US censuses, enumerators recorded names of and other details about people who'd died within the past year. These mortality schedules may be the only death record for some people, especially in states that didn't require recording of deaths until later.
You can browse
by state or search on one or more keywords, such as a name or place. (If you want matches to contain more than one keyword, select "Find all words" from the dropdown menu.)
When you click on a match, you'll be taken to the Web site that stores the transcribed records. What you see varies depending how the data was transcribed and digitized.
You may get a chart or a text file listing a few details of deaths in that enumeration district, or you may get the whole shebang: the deceased's age and marital status at death; death date, place and cause; birth date and place; physician's name; parents' birthplaces and more.

NYG&B Update: Member Voting Eliminated
Posted by
At the
New York Genealogical & Biographical Society
's (NYG&B) July 19 meeting, a proposal to change the bylaws to eliminate member voting passed. The tally was 1,401 in favor to 227 opposed.
Decision-making authority now rests with the nonprofit's 15-member board of trustees. Read
our coverage of the controversial proposal
NYG&B chairman Waddell Stillman's comments
We've heard (but haven't confirmed) that several members may file a class action lawsuit and/or ask the New York attorney general to investigate the vote, based on member assertions they didn't receive proxy ballots in the mail.
The contentious meeting (read an
eyewitness account
from attendee and proposal opponent Dick Hillenbrand) shed no light on the board's plans for the society's library and other assets. A synogogue recently purchased the NYG&B headquarters and will lease space to the society for two years.

Traditional Recipes: Burgoo, Anyone?
Posted by
Family Tree Magazine
coworker Kathy, who has deep roots across the Ohio River in Kentucky, is yawning from a weekend preparing burgoo for the family reunion cookoff she dreamed up.
Burgoo is a big thing around here, but somehow I hadn't heard of it. It's a thick stew that's traditional in Kentucky, especially at church festivals. (This 1900 postcard shows group burgoo preparation.) It's even served at the Kentucky Derby alongside mint juleps.
The ingredients list spans the barnyard, with beef, chicken and pork. Vegetables include potatoes, corn and five kinds of beans; pickling spices and hot sauce are among the seasonings. The chef can substitute freely and toss in pretty much anything on hand, though, then cook it for a day or so.
Kathy's recipe originally made 75 gallons. She cut it down but still ended up with enough for most of the tri-state area (and several lucky coworkers).
She had to do some research to adapt measures and cooking methods to modern times. For example, the recipe called for a "number 10 can" each of ketchup and tomatoes. A
search gave the equivalent: 6 lbs, 6oz (that's a lot of Heinz).
Apparently Kathy's relatives got really excited about the cookoff. One family spent all Saturday together, some out back roasting meat and others inside peeling potatoes. (That clan won a ladle and bragging rights.)
A little good-natured cooking competition can spice up a ho-hum family reunion and beef up the family history element. Need help gathering and preparing old recipes? The

Arsène Wenger never wants to give up taking training.
The Arsenal manager reaches 60 today, an age when many of us start winding down our working life. However the Frenchman coaches the players everyday and does not feel the need to change that.
"No, it is not me to stop," he said speaking before the weekend game. "If one day I do not do that anymore then I do not see why I should only have the problems!
"One of the enjoyments I have is to coach and I feel I have mastered many different parts of it. When I started I was alone. I was goalkeeper coach, fitness coach, everything so I have learned the job the way you should learn it.
"I think you are like you are from the age of 20. Just with more or less strength. I have competition in my genes. Sometimes it is a problem, sometimes it is luck but that is me and I just get on with it."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

A 20 sided die or otherwise known as a d20 is rolled while you play to find out how much damge you take or inflicting. From what you roll you would then add attributes or modifers to the roll to find out your results. Well, if you roll and get 20 then that's frickin' awesome because that's the best you can roll and means you just rocked whatever you're fighting. And its called a natural 20 because its a 20 without any modifers. I know so much info just from stopping by!

This maybe? Also, wasn't decaf patented around that time? I really don't know for sure. It could even relate more to the industrial revolutions since" the mondays" is kind of a work/ 9 to 5 thing.
Also, I will admit that the off-"centerness" of this design bugs me and seems like a bad judgment of space rather than a intentional design choice. However, the default text, the roman times does not. The only argument I have seen against that text is that it is overused. Isn't it overused, and even set at a default, for a reason? I would assume so, and I would also assume that reason would be that it is familiar, legible, universal.... successful. Granted, I am no graphic design and nor to I care to be, but in my mind, if it works, then use it. Can anyone honestly say it looks bad or out of place? I think it fits in well, especially considering that it's a warning message.
O well, that my spiel on the whole hoopla...

The right mobile solution can propel your business into the market quickly and effectively. But in order to know which solution will work best for your business, you need to be clear on the advantages and potential concessions of each, so you can measure them against your business goals.
In the new Moovweb white paper, Creating the Right Mobile Strategy: What You Need to Know Before You Get Started, get the insight you need to make an educated decision on the move to mobile.
From the white paper:
"Due to the explosion in mobile app availability and the craze for apps among consumers, most companies assume that a successful, relevant mobile strategy starts with a native app. The truth is, if a company's goal is to attract new customers (rather than generate loyalty among existing customers), a mobile website might be the more logical place to start."
Keep up with your customers�and your competitors�by developing a solid mobile strategy that makes the most of speed, flexibility and innovation. Read the white paper to find out how.

A home for entertaining
Dinner parties spill outside at Brandon Boudet and Isabelle Dahlin's English cottage, a one-bedroom blessed with outdoor entertaining spaces in L.A.'s Echo Park neighborhood. Brandon, a chef, shakes cocktails and leads guests to appetizers on the kitchen balcony. Dinner happens in the fenced front yard under an intimate arbor set aglow by Isabelle, a Swedish interior designer. And dessert is served around the backyard fireplace, where a hammock and lap blankets await. "Guests really feel at home here," Isabelle says. "At 3 a.m., it's hard to get our friends to leave."

Here are a few pics from an old relic I got from a friend who literally dug it up while demolishing an old garage barn with his Hitachi shovel. This pistol is a fine crafted weapon, after holding it, my S&W 629 8 3/8 seems the lesser of quality. The old timers really took pride in their craft. If any one knows about this pistol let me know, my sidekick wants me to sell it and split the booty.
It has Rogers & Spencer and UTICAN-NY on the top strap, there are 2 "B"s and the letter "X" stamped on the left grip panel and the serial # 4147 is stamped on the upper side of the forward part of the loading lever, and the # 41 is stamped on the other portion that serves as axis for the magazine.
The holster has "7 1/2" and the #5 stamped on the belt loop

Arsenal captain Faye White believes her side has what it takes to challenge for honours at the end of the season.
The Gunners, who have won nine of the last ten league titles, got their FA Women's Super League campaign off to the best possible start with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea but they did not have it all their own way.
Nonetheless England skipper White insists her side will still be the team to beat despite the increasingly competitive eight-team league.
"It was a close game and both teams worked extremely hard," she said. "Chelsea didn't make it easy for us and that's what this league is all about.
"But we are not going to suddenly not perform and not want to win. We are still ambitious and we always want to be challenging for honours at the end of the season."
After all the build up to the WSL, White was delighted to finally get the league underway on the pitch.
"It has been such a long time coming but after the wait it was very enjoyable," she said. "The atmosphere and occasion surrounding the game is really great to be involved in and the girls will enjoy that.
"With the music and the good fans it gives a vibe and a buzz around women's football. We are delighted it's finally underway and that we got the win."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Lagos is a town in the district of Faro, in the region of Algarve. Because of its marvelous beaches and stunning scenery, Lagos attracts a large number of tourists each year. There are a number of beaches, though the two most popular are probably Meia Praia and the Praia de Don Ana. The first is found in one of the largest bays in Europe while the second is the one that most likely sees the largest number of visitors every season. The nearby town of Luz also has a magnificent beach worth visiting, called the Praia da Luz. For those who aren't satisfied simply with the beach for a weekend, Lagos also offers a number of historical monuments to enjoy. For example, check out the Church of Santo António, which dates to the beginning of the 18th century.Visitors can still see the defensive walls that were built between the 14th and 16th centuries. The Casa da Alfandega has a notorious history. It was established by Prince Henry the Navigator as the first African slave market in Europe. The Castelo dos Governados was the fortress from which young King Dom Sebastiao set off on his disastrous campaign against the Moors. Forte Ponta de Bandeira is a 17th century fort that once defended the entrance of the harbour. The most interesting structure in Lagos is the 18th century baroque Igreja de Santo Antonio. Its gilded interior was made possible by gold taken from Brazil. Staying in Lagos means therefore that there is plenty to do and see, so book ahead with EasyToBook.com for the best selection of cheap and discount hotel accommodations.

Arsène Wenger is relieved that he can get on with his job on Wednesday night after his two-match UEFA suspension was put on ice.
The Arsenal boss served a one-game ban during the first leg against Udinese last week for comments he made following his team's Champions League exit at Barcelona last season.
The extra ban was imposed because UEFA claimed that Wenger did not comply with the conditions of his suspension against Udinese but Arsenal have appealed for the decision to be overturned. Now a final judgment will be made after the second leg of the Play-Off tie.
"My assistant [Pat Rice] will be less under pressure now," said Wenger after hearing the news. "I will be in a position where I can do the job like I wanted.
"But the most important thing of course is that we have a good team performance and that the players and me together make the right decisions."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Hi all,
I am currently teaching in Saudi Arabia for a company called Education Experts or Ed Ex for short.
I am considering moving to another company called Interlink. I do not have anything against Ed Ex, but I know that Interlink as a fellowship program which would allow me to get my Masters in TESOL.
However, I have read a couple of negative things on the forum entitled "WARNING: Interlink jobs in Saudi Arabia". Most of these issues seem to date between in 2012 with positive comments in 2013 and 2014. I also read a very disturbing article about the company on worldpress.org. Follow this link http://www.worldpress.org/Mideast/3740.cfm. Article was written in 2011.
I would like to know from anybody working in the company, or that has worked for the company in the past, if there are any issues with the company that I should be aware of now (2014) and if the article I posted by worldpress.org is legitimate.
Any and all information is appreciated.

5 Methods for Memorizing the United States
January 28, 2013 at 3:54 pm melissaanddoug Leave a comment
Does your child have difficulty memorizing all 50 of the United States? Earlier today, our Blog Ambassador Zina Harrington (Let's Lasso the Moon) shared a few resources designed to help kids not only learn the 50 states, but enjoy doing so, as well!
She suggests:
Educational Puzzles
Using a U.S. Map puzzle, you can engage your child in a variety of fun, and educational, activities that will help them memorize the 50 States. For example, if the puzzle has piece shaped like every state, try putting the U.S. together without the puzzle board!
The age-old License Plate Game is just one of the many ways a child can start to memorize not only what the 50 States are, but where they are as well. Plus, it can lead to some lively discussions about where your kids (and you!) would like to travel!
Musical Melodies
A few weeks ago, we shared tips on creating a little jingle for the days of the week to help kids memorize the order in which they occur. The same concept applies for memorizing the United States as well! Think of a little jingle to correspond with the states: You may be surprised at how catchy it can be!
For the full list of resources, read Zina's entire blog post here.
What are your favorite ways to help kids memorize the United States? Share your favorite resources or tips in the comments below, or join the conversation on Facebook!

To thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it's so efficient, you need to delve deep into the heart of the operating system--into the Linux kernel itself. The kernel is Linux--in the case of the Linux operating system, it's the only bit of software to which the term "Linux" applies. The kernel handles all the requests or completed I/O operations and determines which programs will share its processing time, and in what order. Responsible for the sophisticated memory management of the whole system, the Linux kernel is the force behind the legendary Linux efficiency.The new edition of Understanding the Linux Kernel takes you on a guided tour through the most significant data structures, many algorithms, and programming tricks used in the kernel. Probing beyond the superficial features, the authors offer valuable insights to people who want to know how things really work inside their machine. Relevant segments of code are dissected and discussed line by line. The book covers more than just the functioning of the code, it explains the theoretical underpinnings for why Linux does things the way it does.The new edition of the book has been updated to cover version 2.4 of the kernel, which is quite different from version 2.2: the virtual memory system is entirely new, support for multiprocessor systems is improved, and whole new classes of hardware devices have been added. The authors explore each new feature in detail. Other topics in the book include:
received a degree in mathematics in 1992 and a Ph.D. in computer science (University of Rome, "La Sapienza") in 1995. He is now a research assistant in the computer science department of the School of Engineering (University of Rome, "Tor Vergata"). In the past, he served as system administrator and Unix programmer for the university (as a Ph.D. student) and for several institutions (as a consultant).

this book details the linux kernel design better than 'linux kernel internals' by michael beck et.al., but the code commentary could be better complement.i think i must wait for third edition.

I highly recommend this book. It does a very good job at explaining both the overall kernel architecture, and the intel target implementation specifics.A must have!
By Matt Griswold
This book was ok, but its not nearly in depth or detailed as Gary Nutt's 'Kernel Projects for Linux' I give it a thunbs down :/
By Schmel
Wow. Quite a few errata -- some rather significant -- for an edition which not many people own yet. Does anyone know how big the first printing was? Maybe I'll hold off for the second printing.

Sarko Success: French Parliament Passes Burqa Ban
posted at 9:13 pm on September 14, 2010 by Diane Suffern
In a 2009 joint session of French parliament, President Nicolas Sarkozy unequivocally denounced the burqa:
The issue of the burqa is not a religious issue, it is a question of freedom and of women's dignity. The burqa is not a religious sign, it is a sign of the subjugation, of the submission of women. I want to say solemnly that it will not be welcome on our territory.
Parliament agreed. The measure passed the lower house in July and yesterday, in a 247-1 vote, the Senate effectively banned the burqa in public life pending Sarkozy's signature. The Globe and Mail reports:
The measure would outlaw face-covering veils in streets, including those worn by tourists from the Middle East and elsewhere. It is aimed at ensuring gender equality, women's dignity and security, as well as upholding France's secular values — and its way of life. […]
The bill calls for 150 euro fines or citizenship classes for any woman caught covering her face, or both. It also carries stiff penalties for anyone such as husbands or brothers convicted of forcing the veil on a woman. The 30,000 euro fine and year in prison are doubled if the victim is a minor.
Perhaps unsurprising for a country whose national identity is fundamentally wedded to its culture ("Minister of Culture" is a cabinet-level position), France has decided to do what few other countries have done in pushing back against encroaching Islamization.
The ban is equally unsurprising given the nation's strict commitment to secularism. France has a long history of regulating religion, most recent being the 2004 ban of "conspicuous religious symbols" in French schools, including yarmulkes and crucifixes. Naturally, the ban was criticized by many as an intrusion by the state into religious life. Should our response be different now? Aren't all religions and related symbols "created equal?"
In a word, no. Islam is both a religion and a comprehensive socio-political, militaristic system, distinguishing it from all other major faiths. A chief aim, as we know, includes terraforming the political and judicial landscape toward its own ends, bringing all into conformity, enforced by Sharia law. Consequently, the burqa can never remain a private act of devotion. It is perhaps the definitive manifestation of Islam's goal of dominating public life.
Sarkozy clarified that the elimination of face-coverings was not intended to stigmatize Muslims and urged that the religion be treated with equal respect as others. Predictably, critics have called the ban Islamophobic. But is this religious discrimination or even xenophobia as some are claiming? Or, a necessary step to preserve French culture and assimilate the burgeoning Muslim population?
While the French might still consider the faith to be similar to other religions and prefer it neatly tucked away in the private sphere, global Islam begs to differ. The response should be…interesting.

NOTE: The Central Library parking lot will be closed Friday, June 23 through Sunday, June 25 for repairs. We appreciate your patience.
Log in
Earlier this month, KPL's board of trustees approved a resolution supporting the Michigan Library Association's (MLA) campaign to "help protect Michigan libraries."
By this resolution, our board urges the Michigan Legislature to:
• Keep library services and functions together under the Library of Michigan within state government
• Maintain state aid to libraries at $10 million to retain federal funding for MeLCat and MeL databases
• Retain the position of State Librarian
• Oppose the governor's executive order disbanding the Dept of History, Arts, and Libraries (HAL)
MLA's advocacy website discusses the issues in great detail. You can learn more there, including how you can help – contact your state senator and representative and attend the library rally in Lansing on September 10. Library patrons' voices will mean more to lawmakers than those of the library community alone. If you enjoy any of the services offered by MeL, the Michigan Electronic Library, please add your support to Michigan's libraries!
HAL and library funding decisions are part of the budget deliberations underway in Lansing.

Monday 20th September 2010
On occasion football has a nasty little habit of finding no more than a split-second to ruin a good weekend. Saturday evening was definitely the perfect example.
The long journey north had proved relatively trouble free and consequently, once checked into our hotel in the Wallsend area of nearby Newcastle we enjoyed some fine pre-match fare in our usual haunt in Sunderland's city centre.
Of course Cesc's goal was incredibly fortunate and gave us something to build on but Lady Luck definitely did her very best to even things up as the afternoon wore on!
To be honest, it is only Alex's sending off that really disappoints me referee wise. If Songy's performance deserved an early bath I'm not really sure what the point is of playing football. It was nothing short of ridiculous.
I thought our defensive display was absolutely superb. Despite our hosts enjoying a large chunk of the possession and throwing a lot of crosses into our box they created very little.
Our chance to win the game comfortably came of course with the penalty. Don't get me wrong, Tommy's effort was poor but the fact our first choice three penalty takers were all off the pitch just comes down to bad luck.
Although I'm not sure where the extra four minutes came from I still felt we defended admirably and with a certain degree of comfort. The corner came in after the four were up and again we cleared. That was when we all felt the whistle would be blown. It didn't however, an unlucky ricochet in the box and two precious points were taken away. That's football I guess.
It made the journey back into Newcastle hugely depressing and the night out probably a little more low key than usual.
Off down the Seven Sisters Road we go next as we take on our local rivals with a whole different set of players I'm sure.
A good test for our youngsters, it will be interesting to see how they come through.

Social Networks
Why You Should Care About Your Online Social Media Presence
In recent years, social networks and related media channels have brought about significant change in the communications world. Their fast growth relies on the constantly evolving technology they use, which is creating new challenges for people looking to keep pace with new business trends. By Boyana Atanasova, Access MBA Social Networks Coordinator.
Social networks are now part of almost every level of communication, from personal issues and building business strategies to school exam preparations and innovative university tools. They play a key role in our research and are used for adding insight to our projects. Social networks have created a whole new world where people freely share their thoughts and ideas, connect and interact, all led by a specific purpose; a world where information is of the highest value and the speed of its circulation more important than ever.
Business schools and social networks
Social media channels have also spawned revolutionary new approaches in the MBA world. In the past few years, many business schools have come to realise the importance of the social networking channels they use. In many cases, recruitment success for a specific MBA programme can be linked directly to the ability of the school providing that programme to keep well-informed and up-to-date on the speedy development of the online communities recognised by its future students. These fast-growing social networks have also led some business schools to start their own searches for dedicated social networking professionals. "Social media are not marketing toys to be handled by interns but professional communications channels that require understanding of the technology and the community that uses it", reports The New York Times. At the same time, there is a certain demand for university courses dedicated to social media or built with the help of these new platforms. "To meet this demand for education in social media strategy, several top business schools are incorporating courses on social networks into their MBA curriculums. These include Harvard Business School; London Business School; Insead, the international business school based in Fontainebleau, France; and the École des Hautes Études Commerciales, known as H.E.C., in Paris. MBA curriculums are geared toward students with business intelligence, knowledge of communication trends and a flair for innovation. Social network courses aim to build on their existing skills to teach an understanding of social media, of how to build marketing strategies within social networks and of how to track their effectiveness."
The same theory is recognised by John Gallaugher, Associate Professor of Information Systems at Boston College's Carroll School of Management, where Social Media & Web 2.0 for Managers has been offered since September 2010. Gallaugher comments that "social media classes are one way of preparing students for careers in a promising field".
The rapid evolution of social media did not allow business schools to prepare special textbooks for their courses; instead, they expect students to be open to new sources of information, following industry-specific blogs and sites like Mashable and Groundswell to keep up with the latest developments.
"Very often our perception of social media, and what we can and can't do using social media, is very much tinted by what we think our favorite person is doing — and our favorite person is usually ourselves. So, it is about getting students to understand that the empirical skills are absolutely necessary, because whatever they think is intuitively correct, is probably correct about themselves, but nobody else", says Professor Mikolaj Jan Piskorski, Associate Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, for The New York Times.
MBA candidates and their online presence
At the same time, prospective MBA candidates should be aware that new MBA courses in social networks are not the only thing they should be taking into consideration. The internet is probably one of the most powerful search tools at present and candidates should be careful about what they publish online, as it may become critically important when applying for a business school. People from school admission departments probably won't search for your name on the internet, but it is highly likely that your future colleagues and university friends will search there for more details about you. At some stage, social networks may become an integral part of your professional portfolio. If you are not prepared for such a turn of events, you may be caught in a situation where you don't have the same communication abilities as your classmates.
Understanding digital tools: critical for business students
In most cases, a high-class business education together with an MBA degree from a top university correlate with better career opportunities and greater chances of creating new professional connections. This is why it is very important for future business students to understand that knowledge of digital tools may boost their search for these kinds of options. "Soon, students who have grown up with these technologies will come to be the ones providing answers to new industries as they leave university," says Anthony Salcito, Vice President of Worldwide Education at Microsoft.
The most useful things you can do with the aid of social networks:
- Build a professional portfolio in some of the biggest social networks – this might be very useful when applying for a job because it can be used as your online CV;
- Find interesting people and read businessrelated articles online – you can leave comments or ask questions and there's a high chance that they will get a faster answer;
- Join communities of interest to share career expectations or ask for advice;
- Apply for job offers through social networking sites – these kind of opportunities are highly likely to be included in specific groups and sub-forums;
- Create strong connections with people with the same professional interests and experience as you;
- Easily follow up people you have met during an unofficial meeting or at a specific event. In conclusion, it is not only in digital media that social media know-how is valued. These are skills that are increasingly valued in many areas of business, including public relations and marketing, technology and software development and management consultancy — to say nothing of entrepreneurs' using social media channels to promote their start-ups, said a university representative in a Bloomberg BusinessWeek interview. We can add that understanding digital tools is critical for business students, increasing their chances of finding a new job, creating new personal and professional connections and helping students deal with new industries and markets. As we all live in a digital era, we should adapt to this new situation. Building a strong online presence in social networks is a good start.
