Who Do You Think You Are? Live 2011
Posted by
I'm posting a couple of days later than usual this week because I was in London for
Who Do You Think You Are? Live.
(Plus, I had a little downtime with my English friends.)
Maureen solves photo mysteries at WDYTYA? Live.
A series of last minute serendipitous things happened this year. I was able to provide photo consultations as a partnership with a British website
What's That Picture?
I met that site's creator, James Morley, three years ago at WDYTYA? Live. We've teamed up to take the site to the next step with an interactive timeline of photos supplied by users of the site and powered by Flickr. James is the technical genius behind it.
Take a look at the timeline
It's still in it's infancy, but we have big plans for it. You can add your dated family photos to it.
press release
appeared on the site and in the WDYTYA? Live newsletter just before I left for London. As soon as the show opened Saturday morning, the line (or queue, as the British call it) started forming. I've lost count of how many photos I actually looked it. Seems like hundreds, and it probably was. It was a fascinating experience to look at family photos from across the Atlantic.
I love looking at pictures from all over the world.! There are subtle differences in clothing, especially men's work attire. The historical context of the images also has to be considered. English history has different milestones. I saw a lot of World War I images and some from the Boer War. One of the military pavilions would send folks to me to assign a photographic time frame to a picture, so they could go back to the military booth to find more information. We were sending people back and forth for the whole show!
I also managed to squeeze in a quick visit to the
National Archives
in England to meet with their photo specialist. Wish I could spend weeks looking at what they've got there! I was looking for something special, so I just might have to build another visit into my itinerary for next year.

Double Mystery Revisited
Posted by
Well, this photo problem is a tough case tough to crack. In
Double Mystery
Back to the Double Mystery
, I analyzed the clues in Sandy Forest's photo of her ancestor Felix Forest and an unidentified man.
Have you added your thoughts to the comment section? I'd love to hear from you. This week, a couple of readers think the objects in the photo are just props and not real items owned or carried by the men. I agree that some of the items are just for showing off -- the bottle of liquor, the glass and the fake dog. But how far does the photo clowning go? Are their hats and the spike photographer's props as well? That's what we'd all like to know.
I emailed Robert Holzweiss, president of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society about the spike and the hat that reads "Asst. Engineer." He showed the photo to a panel of railroad experts and they agreed that there is no railroad connection. They suggested the spike could be an in to hook wagons together.
What do you think? I want to revisit family history with Sandy Forest and see if census records identify any other occupations in her family. That's my next step.
In honor of Valentine's Day last week, I have a short video on my
channel. If you like it, please click the "like" button.
Later this week, I'm in England at
Who Do You Think You Are? Live
. In my next column I'll have a report for you and hopefully a few photos.

Back to the Double Mystery
Posted by
Two weeks ago, in my
Double Mystery
post, I began dissecting the evidence in a photo owned by Sandy Forest. A couple of readers asked about the hat worn by the man on the right. It's a big clue.
It's difficult to read the hat, but it says "Asst. Engineer" with letters beneath it. The first letter is "H," followed by what I think is an "E" and maybe a "D." Initially, I thought the second letter was an R, but there seems to be a bottom line to the letter. So what does it stand for? That's the big question.
He's holding a spike and is an engineer. That suggests a railway connection. But I'm not sure it's a locomotive railway line. It could be a street railway. Perhaps they are celebrating the inauguration of the first tracks being placed where Felix lived.
Railroad spikes
come in different shapes, but the ones used to lay the rails have an off-set head. I've spent time researching spikes and so has Sandy. Something doesn't seem to quite add up.
I'm looking for an expert on railroads and think I've found one. Hopefully, I'll be back next week with an answer.

Baby Picture Week
Posted by
Last week,
Genealogy Insider
blogger Diane Haddad, gave birth to a beautiful baby. In honor of this, I'm featuring your ancestral baby photos. Thank you for all the submissions.
Kim Dolce sent in this picture of her grandmother Estelle Miller Moore, who was born May 12, 1911, in Riverside, N.J. Estelle looks like she's about to topple over.
Linday Bly Holub emailed me this charming picture of her grandfather Benjamin Bly (on the left), born November 1890, in Moberly, Mo., and his baby brother Adolph Bly, born January 1893, in the same town.
Carol Norwood submitted several photos of three generations of baby pictures. Here are two.
This is her maternal grandmother, Agnes Catherine Caroline Simon, born in 1896 in Erlangen, Germany. Don't you love her bare feet!
This is Carol's maternal grandfather, Helmuth Dromer, born in Potsdam, Germany in 1900. Small children of both sexes wore dresses. Carol actually owns pictures of his two older sisters, who as toddlers also posed in this dress sitting in this basket.
I've seen many different techniques and devices to photograph babies and small children, but one has to wonder about this basket. Cute, but if you look closely you'll notice the basket is on a pedestal. One false move the this tot is on the floor.

A Double Mystery
Posted by
This week I'm researching a very interesting family photo of two men clowning for the camera. Sandy Forest showed me this image at an event over the weekend and I couldn't stop thinking about it. She's pretty sure about the identity of the man on the left, but the man on the right is a mystery. And why is he holding a spike and wearing an interesting hat? The clues really pile up for this photo, so consider this week's post the first installment of a multi-part series.
These two men are probably celebrating something because they are pouring an alcoholic beverage into a glass. That's just another part of the mystery. What's the occasion?
On the left is Felix Forest, a man famous in the family for his height. He stood 6 feet 4 inches. He was much taller than the average man in the late 19th century. The soft stovepipe hat on his head must have really made him stand out in any crowd.
Felix was born in Bonaventure, Quebec, but in the early 1880s, he immigrated to the United States. He moved around a lot. He married in Manchester, N.H., in 1892, spent time in Lewiston, Maine, and then lived in Fall River, Mass., before moving back to Bonaventure.
While I'm adding up the clues and trying to find facts I'll share my favorite part of the picture—the dog at the base of the column. It appears to be a tin cut-out of a little dog. Finding that dog in another photo could identify the photographer and the location.
The men meant for this photo to be funny, and the dog is just one more comical addition. It makes me laugh out loud.
Next week, we'll focus on baby pictures. Diane Haddad, the
Genealogy Insider
blogger, had a baby last weekend, so I thought she'd enjoy a Photo Detective post of ancestral baby pictures. Email me yours to

Preservation Points: Rules to Live By
Posted by
Contrary to popular thought, it's neither expensive nor time-consuming to preserve your family photos. All it takes is a few rules to live by (and some proper storage items).
Avoid Temperature and Humidity Extremes
While you can't do anything about the weather outside your house, you can somewhat control the interior environment. First, avoid all the problem storage areas such as basements, attics and garages. Not only are those zones subject to temperature and humidity variations, they are usually home to critters that love to eat or nest in paper including your family photos.
Try to manage temperature fluctuations by storing your photos in a spot away from drafts (winter cold can harm as much as summer's heat) and heating systems. The ideal temperature for many photographic materials is 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Humidity can be controlled by the use of a de-humidifier or if your house is too dry in the winter, a humidifier. There is a cheaper alternative. A reusable desiccant container can help. It's a small box that contains an inert substance that attracts and holds water vapor. When it's saturated (the indicator dot changes color)all you do is bake it in a ventilated oven to dry it out. While I wouldn't put one of these boxes in direct contact with my photos you can use it in closets. The cost is around $13 to $20.. They are available from museum suppliers such as
Light Impressions
Buy the Right Materials
When purchasing storage materials look for industry appropriate phrases such as acid- and lignin-free paper/cardboard and non-pvc plastic. All you really need are some good quality boxes and sleeves that fit that criteria. You can buy materials in art supply stores, from museum storage companies and even from storage stores. Just check the labels for the right terminology. Buy in bulk with a friend and save money.
Scan Once and Store
You should have a digital back-up of your important images. Scan at a minimum of 600 dpi resolution and 100 percent scale (that's the same dimensions as the original photo, instead of reducing the size) and then put the items in those storage containers. Back-up your digital files using a portable hard drive or an online back-up system such as
Once you've scanned at this resolution, you won't have to scan them again for any projects.
Identify and Label
OK I know this can be an overwhelming task, but take it slow. A picture at a time. Write on the back of a photo—name, date, occasion, and your name and date—or as little as you know. By adding your name and the current date your descendants will always know who labeled the photos. Labeling tools include a soft lead pencil for paper based prints or a waterproof, fade-proof, quick-drying pen (not a Sharpie) that's safe for resin coated pictures. I like Zig markers. They are widely available in scrapbook, art and office supply stores.
These four basic rules will help you save your pictures so that generations can appreciate them. You can learn more about photo preservation in my book

Time Flies
Posted by
I couldn't help but use this as the title. It sums up the clues in this week's picture.
Look carefully. The man in the photo holds an open pocket watch in his right hand and has a rooster on his lap. It appears he's trying to convey something about time. It's a triple-mystery.
Sarah Swanner and her mother spent some time over the holidays scanning pictures and stumbled across this mystery image. They have no idea who the man is, where his picture was taken, or what the story is.
(An aside on scanning, I recommend setting the resolution at 600 dpi and saving as a tiff, but a 300-dpi tiff file will provide a good quality reproduction. More on scanning next week.)
All Sarah and her mother know is that this image once belonged Walter Nance, who was married to Sarah's great-grand-aunt Evelyn Dantzler. That's a start!
The white card style was extremely popular in the last years of the 1880s and throughout the 1890s. There is room at beneath the image for the photographer to include his studio name, but instead of personalizing the cards, he left it blank. It's an odd photo for a studio or an itinerant photographer.
There were folks who owned their own photo equipment, so I wonder if this isn't an amateur picture—one friend clowning for the other who's taking the picture.
The rocks in the background are covered in lichen and there is a type of plant growing on the left. Any geologists out there? Please weigh in on the type of rock. That might help solve the mystery of where this was taken.
I think the image was taken circa 1890. That's based on the type of suit he's wearing and the pin in his tie. Those types of pins were very popular in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Plus men tied their neckties with this particular style knot during that period.
The pin is interesting. Is it just a decorative pin or is it a clue that this man belonged to a fraternal organization? I'll be looking for something in this shape. Hope to be able to report back next week. I think it's a fraternal symbol and have some ideas.
The next step is for Sarah to figure out which relatives and family friends were living in the 1890s period. It's important to remember that this man could be a friend rather than a relative.

First Communion Mystery
Posted by Diane
I can tell that a lot of folks looked at their family photographs last week by the number of emails I received. Scannning, identifying and organizing your photos is a great way to start the new year. Remember to scan at no less than 600 dpi and select Tiff as the format. You can always re-size for various uses.
Let's ease into the year by discussing a photo with religious overtones.
Beth Hartley submitted this tintype photo with a question: "Is this my great-grandmother or her mother?" Beth's grandmother told her that she thought it depicted one of these two women with a younger brother, but she wasn't sure about the generation.
When you think you know who's in the photo, start with family history. In this case, Beth's great-grandmother Ellen McHugh was born in 1885, while Ellen's mother, Bridget Murphy McHugh, was born in 1855.
Photographic formats often help narrow down the time frame. A tintype is a photograph on a thin sheet of iron; they were popular by the late 1850s. The rounded corners on this image strongly suggest that it once occupied a frame.
Costume provides clues about the occasion. The girl's white dress and veil clearly indicate it's her First Communion. She's even holding a tiny prayer book. It's traditional in Catholic churches to dress girls in white dresses and veils for this event. First Communion dress styles mimic bridal fashions. The details in the white dress are unclear, but the veil suggests a date circa 1890. In this period, bridal veils hung from a small gathering of fabric or flowers on the top of the head. This information definitely rules out Bridget McHugh.
The average age for a First Communion is around 7. So if this photo depicts Ellen, then it was taken in the early 1890s. Ellen had an older brother born in 1883 and a younger brother born in 1887. The youngster standing next to her would be 5-year-old William.
There are always unanswered questions about photos. In this case, I'd love to know why Ellen's older brother John isn't included in this studio shot.

iPad Apps to Try
Posted by
I've had an iPad for a few months and I suspect that many readers of this blog own one too. I'm always on the look-out for interesting apps. Here are some that I can't wait to try. You can find all of these by visiting the app store on your iPad.
I can't wait to see if this one lives up to it's
review. It connects to
so you can browse photos, but it also lets you create a photo stack of images you want to save while you are looking.
Sort Shots
This photo-organizing app uses tags to quickly sort through images. It also lets you share photos using Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Picasa.
Just like the photo-sharing website
, you can search, sort and share images.
Foto Editor
It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but you'll be able to make quick and simple edits on your photos on Foto Editor.
This app will let you put an opaque watermark on your image to make it clear who owns the picture.
The two apps I use the most on my iPad are Ancestry.com's app
Tree to Go
(free) and
($4.99). Blogshelf organizes all my favorite blogs like books on a shelf. I just love it.
Have fun with your new apps and be sure to mention your favorite apps in the comment section below. I can't wait to try out some new ones.

FAU Awards $200,000 in Cash and Prizes at 2012 Business Plan Competition
Release Date: Apr 16, 2012
BOCA RATON, FL (April 16, 2012) – Florida Atlantic University's Adams Center for Entrepreneurship and the College of Business, along with the Research Park at Florida Atlantic University, recently hosted the 2012 FAU Business Plan Competition in which 21 teams comprised of FAU students, members of the business community, alumni and, for the first time, local high school students competed for a share of more than $200,000 in cash and prizes. The high school student track winner's prize also included a full four-year scholarship to FAU.
"The competition inspires FAU students and entrepreneurs in our community, and with only three competitions under our belt, we continue to make progress toward elevating the region with more hopeful entrepreneurs using the program to vet their ideas," said Kimberly Gramm, assistant dean and director of the Adams Center for Entrepreneurship at FAU. "These are exciting times at FAU. We are the hub of the entrepreneurial eco-system."
More than 300 guests attended the competition, which provided an opportunity for participants to compete and test their business ideas. More than 215 teams registered for the competition, up from 167 last year, while 20 advanced to the final round events. Teams submitted their plans in one of three categories: the Entrepreneur Track, which was designated for alumni and members of the business community-at-large; the Student Track, which was open to current FAU students only; and the High School track, which was open to local junior and senior high school students.
The high school track winner and four-year scholarship of the competition was Austin Tedesco for his prototype, beforeyouturnitin.com, a reliable, accurate, and affordable proofreading service for high school students. Tedesco is a junior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
The student track winner of the competition and $15,000 in cash and prizes was FAU student Neil Parsont for his prototype Owl Educational Web Services, an online tutor-student matchmaking service. The company's business model allows direct communication between students and tutors simplifying the existing processes used by competitors which block communication.

Per Mertesacker is delighted with the way he has adapted to life in the Premier League during his first season in England.
The Germany international moved to Arsenal at the end of last summer's transfer window and proved to be a calm presence at the heart of the Gunners' defence.
As he recovers from an ankle injury that has sidelined him since February, the 27-year-old admits that the initial transition was difficult.
"Sometimes I felt like it was very hard, especially when I first came here," Mertesacker told Arsenal Player.
"It was tough to settle down [and I was] very quickly into the first squad. There was sometimes a lack of performance but I think you have to go through that to improve yourself.
"I am very comfortable here now, and very proud to be with this Club."
Mertesacker says he has enjoyed the challenge of moving from the Bundesliga to test himself in the Premier League.
"In general you are playing the best players in the world," he said. "You always have to perform at a high level.
"It is at a constant level and that is what makes the Premier League so good and so sharp."

The Utah Jazz season ended with an 86-70 loss in Memphis on Wednesday night. And with the postseason, come postseason awards. Each NBA market has three media representatives vote on Most Valuable Players, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, Defensive Player of the Year, Sixth Man of the Year, as well as the All-NBA teams. The Salt Lake Tribune beat writer holds one of those votes.
In the interest of transparency and debate, the ballot I submitted to the NBA this morning follows:
Most Valuable Player
1. LeBron James, Miami
2. Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City
3. Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks
4. Chris Paul, Los Angeles Clippers
5. Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs
Notes: James will win his fourth MVP award and it won't even be close. At various points this spring, I've heard cases made for why James should be vote Most Improved, as well as the league's top defender. Few players have the abiltiy to completely change the game, to have the NBA conform to him. Shaquille O'Neal was the last, but not even O'Neal dominated a game in as many ways as James. ... Kobe Bryant was on this list for a moment. What he did in the last month of the season to will the Lakers into the playoffs was simply herculean. But at the end of the day he was the best player on a highly disappointing team that didn't make the playoffs until the final day of the regular season.
Most Improved Player
1. Paul George, Indiana
2. Omer Asik, Houston
3. Greivis Vasquez, New Orleans
Notes: An award without real parameters is tough to vote on, but George became the first All-Star from the class of 2010 and carried the Pacers to the No. 2 seed despite the absence of Danny Granger, considered the Pacers best player before missing most of the season with an injury.
Defensive Player of the Year
1. Marc Gasol, Memphis
2. LeBron James, Miami
3. Joakim Noah, Chicago
Notes: Thanks to advancements in statistics and widespread comprehension of them, we can now tangibly judge defense beyond blocks and steals. Gasol was the highest-rated defender on the league's top defensive team. His numbers are pedestrian (his 1.72 blocks per game, for example, were 12th in the league), but he is a mobile center who defends the pick and roll, is a tremendous help defender, plays his man, makes few mistakes. ... So tempted to vote James first here. The MVP is hands down the most versatile defender. Against the Jazz earlier this season, the 6-foot-9 James guarded Utah center Al Jefferson and the Jazz couldn't get him the ball. In conversation yesterday, Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said James could guard Muggsy Bogues or Wilt Chamberlain. The natural small forward spent most of the season defending big men to great success.
Sixth Man of the Year
1. Jamal Crawford, Los Angeles Clippers
2. Jarrett Jack, Golden State
3. J.R. Smith, New York
Notes: Two months ago, this may have been unanimous for Crawford. However, Smith's role on the Knicks was huge he averaged about 19 points per game and Jack was the most important player for the Warriors not named Curry or Lee. His absence was especially felt prior to the All-Star Break, when Jack was injured and the Warriors went through their roughest stretch of the season. However, Crawford's arrival in Lob City coincided with the legitimization of the Clippers as a Western Conference threat, and not just a novelty collection of freak athletes. The belief here is that those aren't coincidental. ... Gordon Hayward's name was tossed around as a possibility. Not sure he gets any votes, but the Jazz swingman had a nice run off the bench, scoring 14.3 points in 45 games as a reserve.
Rookie of the Year
1. Damian Lillard, Portland
2. Anthony Davis, New Orleans
3. Dion Waiters, Cleveland
Notes: The only point of discussion here is over the third-place vote getter, and there's not even an award for that. Next.
Coach of the Year
1. George Karl, Denver
2. Eric Spoelstra, Miami
3. Lionel Hollins, Memphis
Notes: In a superstar era, Karl guided the West's most exciting team with none. Perhaps the best thinker in basketball has seen a complete overhaul in just two years since the departures of Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups. ... Spoelstra revamped the Heat offense and should be credited for much of the improvement in James, at least for recognizing where he should be on the floor. ... Hollins: The trade of Rudy Gay was tremendous from an analytics standpoint the geeks all said so but Hollins still had to integrate several new players into big-time roles in the middle of the season. With signs pointing to a change at the position in the offseason, Hollins deserves kudos for how that team performed.
All-NBA Teams
First Team
Forward: LeBron James, Miami
Forward: Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City
Center: Tim Duncan
Guard: Chris Paul, Los Angeles Clippers
Guard: Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
Second Team
Forward: Carmelo Anthony, New York
Forward: Zach Randolph, Memphis
Center: Marc Gasol, Memphis
Guard: Tony Parker, San Antonio
Guard, James Harden, Houston
Third Team
Forward: David Lee, Golden State
Forward: Paul George, Indiana
Center: Chris Bosh, Miami
Guard: Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City
Guard: Stephen Curry, Golden State
Notes: Had many conversations over whether Bryant was deserving after the Lakers have so dramatically underachieved. That they achieved at all, though, is a credit to Bryant, who 27.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6 assists before a ruptured Achilles ended his 17th NBA season. ... Not a great ballot for scorers, I know. Anthony (the league's scoring leader), Harden and Curry all probably deserve to be about one team higher. But I was vexed. Where to put them? ... Any doubts I had over whether Zach Randolph deserved such a high position were eliminated with his 25 points, 19 rebound performance against the Jazz in the regular season finale. He may be the league's best at finishing around the rim, an achievement made more impressive by the fact he plays under it. ... Russell Westbrook, too, is better than typical third teamers. He may be my favorite player in the game. MVP potential. ... Notable painful omissions:
Leave thoughts in the comments. The NBA will roll out their awards in the coming weeks.

The Canisius baseball team saw its 2013 season come to an end in a 14-6 loss to No. 23 Florida Atlantic in an elimination game at Boshamer Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Golden Griffins, who were making their first appearance in program history in the NCAA Tournament, finish the campaign with a 42-17 record, with the 42 wins standing as the most in program history and in MAAC history.
Senior Brooklyn Foster was 3-for-5 with a run scored and an RBI while junior Shane Zimmer went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a walk. Junior Ronnie Bernick scored two runs and worked two walks.
"We had a terrific team with an awful lot of talent. There is no question we have quality leaders in Chris Gruarin and Brooklyn Foster," Canisius coach Mike McRae said. "That will be sorely missed because it is something that is difficult to recruit and has been a missing ingredient for our program. I hope they can pass it along as we continue to raise the bar for our program and the league."
Florida Atlantic (39-21) took advantage of a leadoff walk in the top of the first and scored the game's first run on an RBI groundout. The Owls extended the lead to 4-0 on a two-out, three-run homer to right-center from Nathan Pittman in the second inning. Canisius cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the inning with back-to-back singles from Foster and Zimmer leading off the inning. Sophomore Jesse Puscheck had an RBI groundout and junior Jesse Kelso had an opposite-field RBI single to make it 4-2.
The Owls would chase Canisius starter Devon Stewart (5-6) when the sophomore walked the bases loaded to start the third inning. After a wild pitch from sophomore Alex Godzak scored one run, a three-run homer from Corey Keller put Florida Atlantic up 8-2. The Owls scored single runs in the fourth, sixth and seventh to make it 11-2. Canisius scored once in the bottom of the seventh and then scored two more in the eighth to get within six, 11-5.
Notes: Canisius played a game in the month of June for the first time in program history… Canisius and Florida Atlantic met for the first time and the Griffs played a team from the state of Florida for the first time since playing Jacksonville on April 4, 1991… The two-inning start was the shortest of Stewart's career… Godzak made his first relief appearance since April 14… Junior Ryan Coppinger ends the season on a career-long 10-game hitting streak. He left the game after the fifth inning after making a diving catch in right field… The 10 walks by Canisius pitchers were the most in any game on the season… The 14 runs scored by Florida Atlantic matched the most allowed by the Griffs this season (14 at UNC Asheville on Feb. 24).

The Stephen F. Austin men's basketball team is just one day from tip-off of arguably the biggest game in school history.
The Jacks will take the court against Virginia Commonwealth University in the second round of the NCAA National Tournament Friday night.
All week long the community has been hyped; buying shirts off the shelf and showing up for a team sendoff Wednesday morning.
The players say all the added attention has been something they are learning to embrace.
Senior, Deshaunt Walker, was almost cut last season by former head coach Danny Kasper but new coach Brad Underwood gave Walker another chance and it has paid off as Walker has become a leader on the team.
"Walking around campus has been pretty exciting," Walker said. "Everybody is like, 'congratulations, congratulations. You've done so well.' "Me and Jake [Parker] walked into class today and we got a standing ovation. It was kind of embarrassing with all the attention. I didn't really like it, but it's pretty fun. Everyone's acknowledged it and everybody is excited to watch the game on Friday."
Brad Underwood is no stranger to the tournament and says that you have to take the attention and run with it.
"It's what it's all about," Underwood said. "It's bringing people closer together and when you walk around and see people smiling, that's a good feeling. That's what college athletics does and that's what this team has done and from the watch party to everybody's a buss planning trips to the game and that's exciting and that's that hopefully for our students, not just for our student athletes but for our students and for our fans they have a great deal of pride and to go down town and have everybody wish you congratulations and good luck, that's special."
And while the players are getting used to the attention, they also say they are trying to remain calm about the whole experience.
"It's an honor we made it to the tournament we're excited," Senior Desmond Haymon said. "We got to take care of business and stay focused at the same time. We're staying humble with it knowing we can't get a big head because just making it to the tournament was not our dream. We want to go in there and continue to dream big as Coach Underwood say so we got to stay focused and we have great leadership to keep the guys focused on the task that we're trying to accomplish."
"A lot more people saying, 'We're proud of you, go represent us,' things like that showing that," Junior Thomas Walkup said. "This community does have our back, the student body has our back and their supporting us. That means a lot."
The 12th seeded Jacks play the 5th seeded VCU Rams Friday at 6:30 in San Diego, CA.

addind honey super sounds like a good idea ...id put it b/n two large deeps for a week, then put it on top
My bees have just got 7 of 10 frames drawn out in the second brood chamber. So I'm wondering if I should put on a honey super for more room? I just started with package bees this year and was not planning on getting any honey this year. I don't have an extractor and do not want to buy one till next year. If I do put one on can I just leave it on through the winter for the bees extra food? Then I will have drawn foundation for next year? Also, they are still taking syrup, since I will not be selling any honey should I keep feeding them with the honey super on to help them draw the foundation?
Give them a i/2 deep super to start with. No queen excluder. If she wants to lay in the 1/2 deep so be it! You want to build up that ive for the winter. The more honey the better!

The Theatre program at Roger Williams University is an exciting blend of theory and experiential learning. Students apply the academic in our active production program. The theatre program includes a major, a minor, and a Core Concentration. We offer the best of both worlds for theatre students--a broad liberal arts education with lots of opportunities to work on shows. While the production program is an integral part of the theatre major, it is open to all students in the University regardless of their major course of study. The same is true of membership and participation in the Stage Company, the student drama club.
The Roger Williams University Theatre program is unique in the range and breadth of its areas of study. It has a rich history, literature and body of critical theory as well as a number of skill areas where knowledge is put into practice. The program aims to provide each student with a well-rounded general mastery of all areas of the art of theatre. In addition, study of the theatre opens a window to the history of our society and culture in a variety of historical contexts. In keeping with the University's mission, the Theatre Department offers a liberal arts theatre degree with a strong emphasis on practical learning and professional skills.
An important element in the overall design of the program is the semester-long London Theatre Program. Theatre majors spend the fall semester of their junior year in London under the direction of the Roger Williams theatre faculty and a group of English theatre professionals.
Many graduates of the theatre program pursue careers in a wide range of the theatrical arts: film, television and the live theatre, while others have become educators. Theatre graduates can be found teaching on all levels, from elementary to university. Increasingly, those students interested in professional or teaching careers continue their studies through advanced academic and professional degrees in graduate schools throughout the country. But as befits a liberal arts program, many of our students take the research, analytical, organizational, and communication skills that are fundamental to the theatre arts and apply them to a wide variety of business and creative pursuits. Regardless of their ultimate career paths, theatre graduates take with them a deep appreciation of theatre as an art and of its place in our culture.

Back from teh dead...
Sorry to pull up an old thread.
But i felt it was appropriate. Obviously there was alot of head scratching about the Krait, and the fact that it was really just a regular mouse with a high DPI.
Well, today, Razer may have answered the question as to why the Krait was deve,oped in teh first place, and what their original intention for it was...
Swooning Microsoft into believing in their products.
Could this mark the return of the Sidwinder? Or does this just mean more widespread distrobution of Razer products? Either way its kind of a win/win for both parties involved.
|Greg King
I agree boys.
At the end of the day, its a good mouse. But just a mouse. It's an everyday three button mouse with a crazy high DPI.
No doubt. It definately is a decent mouse. And it certaintly is another alternative, albeit in an already crowded market sector. But, i think they would have had a much better job of just calling it a basic mouse, instead of adding some amber LED's and branding it as a "MMO/RTS Gaming Mouse". I mean its almsot an insult to their own products. As if to say, its not really good enough to work with a shooter, but its a decent mouse, which makes it good enough if you like slow games with alot of repetitive clicking.
I just dont understand why they are so keen on keeping the "gaming mouse" theme going, that it ends up making them look a bit silly.
I dont think anyone would really be to upset with Razer if they just said "hey, heres a mouse, its got some nice features, and its more then adiquate for gaming".
But attempting to brand it as gaming specificto attempt to ride teh WoW wave, well...thats reaching a bit.
But, all said, its still a good mouse. No denying that.
Eh, I dunno, I think it'll appeal to the RTS gaming crowd that dabbles in the FPS genre but not enough to warrant buying a button laden mouse for it. Now instead of buying a Logitech or M$ mouse they have the option of another big name mouse that's a bit more streamlined. Not to mention the nicety of being able to switch resolutions on the fly which some mice don't offer and lefty support.
I know many southpaws that don't mouse with their left hands due to their mice being only for right handers. This gives them another option now.
|Rob Williams
I agree. I don't understand what makes this mouse more suited for RTS and MMO games. I know for a fact whenever I play MMO games, I use the three primary buttons.. none on the side. Could be just me though.
Either way, the Copperhead would be better suited for games in general, regardless of the genre.
What's next? Microsoft Word mouse? Circle drawing mouse? TV remote mouse?
I agree completely with what Greg said...what exactly does this mouse do? Whats it for? Is there a need for an MMO/RPG mouse? Of course not.
I think what happened here is that they had this brain storm to develop a cunsumer level mouse, to compete with the like of generic Logitech, and MS mice. They made it a little smaller then teh Copperhead for the average computer user (which includes small handed women), and with less confusing "special" buttons to get in teh way of the general end user (again, namely women [no offence Jenn much love] ). Then went to the board of directors with teh idea and said "WOW! LOOK WHAT WE DID! its a consumer mouse that every gamer will want their mom to have becuase they respect the Razer name." and the board said "WTF IS THIS TRIPE??!! We build gaming mice, not people mice! Dear god... all that money, all that research....gone.....We have to recover from this...we have to make this a defacto gaming mouse so that people wont think we've sold out and gone soft! Ok guys, ideas, ideas....Whats hot?" THe janitor in the back room says "I hear World of Warcraft is a preaty popular game with the kids these days." And the head director says "SEE!!! THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT! THE AMERICAN DREAM! Manuel here represents a REAL gamer, he has a pulse on teh world of gaming nirvana that surrouds us here! What the hell do i pay you lot for?! Certaintly not becuase you look preaty...but what the hell, not like i can fire you. So, World of Warcraft, eh? Thats it, heres what we will do, we will create a NEW market for mice...the MMO/RPG/RTS/acronym supreme mouse, and we will show that we still have a gaming backbone." And of course everyone in teh board meeting, including Manuel, started to dance and cheer the new idea, and its greatness. But all was not fun and games, becuase before the dancing stopped, the entire R&D department was fired on the spot for not making a real gaming mouse. And subsiquently Manuel was promoted to lead designer, who is now helping Razer make a new elite designed extreme gaming keyboard vacuming device. It'll be hot, just you wait and see.
So, back to reality. This thing wont sell for squat. At that price point Logitech preaty much owns the market. And what Logitech doesnt get, MS does. You cant sell a boutque branded item, at a department store level, and expect it to do well. Becuase people will question its authentisity, and definately its quality. And honestly, if some of the old Razer quality gremlins are still there (i havent touched a razer for long enough to know), id honestly rather have the Logitech or the MS mouse over it for daily use.
This is kind of like MS making a natural wave KB in brown, and calling it the Oblivion/WoW/RPG Ergonomic natural Key Board for extended playing periods, and trying to sell it along side their standard ones. No one will care.
Im sure the mouse is more then deserving of tis 7/10 rating. But honestly, in 6 months will anyone other then Razers share holders care about this mouse? I think not.
|Rob Williams
Razer Krait MMO/RTS Gaming Mouse
We are taking a look at Razers new Krait mouse aimed specifically at gamers who focus on real time strategy and massive multiplayer online games. Their approach is a simple one. Gamers who play RTSs and MMOGs dont need a ton of buttons, just a set few.
After reading Greg's review, why not chat about it?

By Chris Harris
Lukasz Fabianski insists he has a friendly rivalry with Wojciech Szczesny.
The senior Pole lost his No 1 status to his younger compatriot when he suffered a shoulder injury before the Manchester City game in January and is now working his way back to top form.
Szczesny has seized his own chance to establish himself as Arsène Wenger's first-choice goalkeeper but Fabianski does not feel any resentment towards the 21-year-old.
"I have known Wojciech since he was 15," explained Fabianski. "We were together at Legia Warsaw, my former club.
"We have known each other for so long and we are good mates. I don't know if that makes it more difficult, but we are pushing each other and that can only help us.
"He got his chance [when I was injured] but with me it was exactly the same if you remember. Manuel [Almunia] got injured and I had my chance.
"In football it is like that someone gets injured and the other guy is having a chance because of that. That is the rule of football."
Fabianski has played in both Carling Cup ties this season and made some important saves during Tuesday night's Fourth-Round victory over Bolton. He believes he is getting back to his best.
"With the fitness level, of course I feel 100 per cent," he said.
"When you play regularly, your confidence and especially your feeling of the game on the pitch is better, but I feel there is a little improvement from the first game I played against Shrewsbury.
"I think it looked much better from my point of view against Bolton."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
On Sept. 25, 2003, the Multnomah community honored Mr. Dan May for a lifetime of dedicated Christian service. Multnomah Bible College and Biblical Seminary recognized his commitment to the Lord and named him the Alumnus of the Year.
Mr. May, born in Rainier, Oregon, attended Multnomah in the late 1940s as a reluctant student encouraged by his parents to enroll. During his time at school, God grabbed a hold of his heart and caused Mr. May to fully commit his life to Christ. "My time at Multnomah got me squared away with Jesus," Mr. May said. "Multnomah helped me establish my priorities. There are a lot of pulls in life, but God comes first."
He graduated from Multnomah in 1951 and moved to Fernwood, Idaho to pastor a small church until 1956. While in Fernwood, his three children were born: Gary, Steve, and Kathy.
Mr. May left Fernwood and moved to Minneapolis to attend the University of Minnesota. He earned his CPA license and North Central Airlines hired him to work as an accountant. During the next 30 years he worked his way up to the positions of CEO and Chairman of the Board of the company, renamed Republic Airlines.
One of Mr. May and his wife Radona's favorite ministries is Young Life. Mr. May has served on the National Board of Trustees for the past 20 years, including a tenure as Chairman of the Board.
Mr. and Mrs. May are active in their church. They serve as elders at a Presbyterian church and are in charge of a senior adult group of about 80 couples. Mr. May said that because of his years at Multnomah, he has always been able to accurately teach from the Bible.
He has also served on the Wycliffe/SIL Investment Committee for the past ten years and he has been a mentor for InterVarsity at their Marketplace Conferences and their MBA seminars.
"Dan May is a great example of an alumni who was greatly changed by his time at Multnomah," Dennis Fuqua, director of alumni relations, said. "Although the majority of his life was not spent in vocational ministry, he has made a significant contribution to God's work by the character of his life."
Listen to Dan May's chapel message from this web page. You will need to have Real Audio Player installed on your computer in order to listen to the message.

I'm just wrapping up my Pre Vizsla costume from The Clone Wars. The armor is largely the same as Jango's, style / assembly wise, so I did the strapping based on references found in here.
So feeding the straps through the suit and back out the other side to the armor... is it really this awkward? I was fishing my hands down my pants, up the legs, and all over the place. I was able to get it all, and once secured it looked good, but it was a pain!
Is there any clever trick to doing it more easily? I was considering sewing the straps to the insides of the suit so that they'd be in the right position.
Also, do you typically wear under armor type pants, or do you just have the straps on your legs. I'm concerned about comfort, so I think I'll be wearing some heat gear underarmor.
Anyway, more looking for real-world trooping experience than anything else. My Boba suit is easy... no leg armor 'cept for the knees, and those have nice straps right on the outside!

Wind Star Review
Launched in 1986, Windstar Cruises' Wind Star is one of two nearly identical four-masted sailing megayachts in the fleet. Wind Star features wide open, teak decks—over 10,000 square feet of space, quite generous for a ship this size—and 21,500 square feet
of new sail overhead. Renovations in 2012 included a head-to-toe update of the public rooms' decor. Newly enhanced staterooms have chic leather headboards, arm chairs, linen wall coverings, new lighting features, window coverings, carpeting, new art work, and stylish bed cushions and bed throws.
Comfort is the element that ties these ship's interiors together. Blue and cream, echoing hues of the sea and sandy beaches, predominate in the cozy main lounge, where you'll find a tiny casino tucked into a corner. With its large windows and a skylight, the lounge is flooded with natural light during daytime hours.
Public spaces are proportionately small on such a diminutive vessel and feature yacht-like touches of polished wood shipwide, as well as abundant fresh flower arrangements. The library contains books, movies to play in your cabin, and a computer center.
Passenger accommodations and public areas are all found in the aft two-thirds of the ship, with dining and entertainment located on the top two decks.
Are they cruise ships with sails or sailing ships designed for cruises? Since 1986, these masted sailing yachts have filled an upscale niche. They often visit ports of call inaccessible to huge, traditional cruise ships and offer a unique perspective of any cruising region. Though Windstar ships seldom depend on wind alone to sail, if you're fortunate and conditions are perfect, as they sometimes are, the complete silence of pure sailing is heavenly. Stabilizers and computer-controlled ballast systems ensure no more than a mere few degrees of lean.
When you can tear yourself away from the sight of thousands of yards of Dacron sail overhead, it doesn't take long to read the daily schedule of activities on a typical Windstar cruise. Simply put, there are few scheduled activities. Diversions are for the most part social, laid-back, and impromptu. You can choose to take part in the short list of daily activities; borrow a book, game, or DVD from the library; or do nothing at all. There's never pressure to join in or participate if you simply prefer relaxing with a fully loaded iPod, which you can check out on board.
Multimillion-dollar upgrades in 2012 enhanced each ship from stern to stern with chic new decor that mimics the colors of the sky and sandy beaches. The Yacht Club, which replaced the library on Wind Surf, is designed to be the social hub of the ship, with computer stations, a coffee bar, and a more expansive feel than the room it replaced. You will be able to join other passengers in comfortable seating around a large flat-screen TV to cheer on your favorite team during sporting events. In addition, all accommodations and bathrooms have been remodeled with updated materials; new weights and televisions were added to the gym; a couples massage room enhances the Wind Surf spa; the casual Veranda was expanded; the decks now have Balinese sun beds; and cooling mist sprayers are near the pools.
What You Should Know
- Ships have an extensive DVD collection
- Socializing is effortless on these intimate ships
- Mist sprayers near the pool offer a refreshing way to keep cool
- The aft pool and hot tub are popular and apt to feel crowded
- The water-sports marina can open only when the ship is at anchor
- Ways to entertain yourself are sparse—the gym and library are tiny, and the casino is small
Ship Stats
- Crew Members 90
- Entered Service 1988
- Gross Tons 5,350

The True Cost of Coal
The American Economic Review has just published a paper, "Environmental Accounting for Pollution in the United States Economy," which highlights the economic costs of air pollution versus economic benefits for several industries. While the paper is fairly dense (and there is a cost to download it), the authors make clear that the economic harms of coal-fired power far outweigh its economic benefits. In fact, coal has the worst cost benefit ratio of several polluting industries profiled, including solid waste combustion, sewage treatment, and stone quarrying (which also create more economic harms than benefits). The authors of this study are just looking at the air-pollution harms of coal, which leaves aside the many other health and environmental harms caused by coal-fired power plants. If you add those in, it is exceedingly clear that coal has a major negative impact on the US economy.
In fact, a study published earlier this year by the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, and written by faculty at the Center for Health and Global Environment at Harvard Medical School, found that the true cost of coal is up to ½ trillion dollars per year, when all environmental and health impacts are added in. Based on this true cost accounting, all clean energy sources are much cheaper than coal. Of course, if you consider the fact that some of the economic harms of coal literally result from people dying, the need to transition our energy mix away from coal becomes even more urgent.
You can help end coal-fired power in the US. Please join Green America in telling Southern Company, one of our most polluting utilities, that it needs to move rapidly away from coal to clean energy and energy efficiency! Take action with us today!

help how do I replace the ejector in my kel tek p3at. it fell out when field stripping to clean
It just slides in.
It only goes in one way. If you have to force it, or if the slide rail segment that it represents does not match the rest of the rail, you're putting it in wrong.
Look at it, and the hole that accepts it, closely. The correct orientation will become obvious.
I have tried glue, cement, and epoxy resin. Nothing sticks.
You just have to be careful not to lose it, when you're cleaning the gun.
I sometimes catch it and set it aside, and sometimes I am just careful not to invert the frame while the slide is off.
I have only a slight idea of why they did it this way: The ejector had to be made of a stronger, denser plastic than that of the frame. But why couldn't it be pinned in place, or cast-in, or wedged in, or somethingother than just left loose?

The left immediately vilifies the Guardian's new conservative columnist
posted at 3:57 pm on August 16, 2012 by Rob Bluey
It seems not a day goes by without some new episode of liberal intolerance. Today's target is Josh Treviño, who was just appointed to The Guardian's editorial team. Treviño's crime? He's a passionate defender of Israel.
Treviño, whose hire comes a few weeks after The Guardian added Glenn Greenwald, will write a column for the liberal publication. It's a brilliant move for the popular news site. Treviño is an intelligent and insightful conservative who comes from the public policy world, having recently worked at think tanks in Texas and California.
Unfortunately, this news triggered an angry reaction from some individuals. Former Media Matters employee M.J. Rosenberg and blogger Ali Abunimah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada, have attempted to smear Treviño for his support of Israel. Rosenberg wants the Guardian to fire Treviño before he even writes his first column.
PROTEST Guardian hiring of White Supremacist Josh Trevino. Email woman who hired him. firstname.lastname@example.com
— MJ Rosenberg (@MJayRosenberg) August 16, 2012
Rosenberg later added: "Trevino is every Jew's nightmare.Protest to Guardian. Creepy white racist."
What is fueling Rosenberg's hatred? Seth Mandel of Commentary explains:
Treviño was among the vast majority of Americans to stand up for Israel's right of self-defense against the "flotilla" movement seeking to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. Since the first such flotilla included a terrorist-funded boat full of armed extremists who tried to kill Israeli soldiers, Treviño was on fairly solid ground here—and most Americans felt the same way.
You can agree or disagree with Israel's blockade—which even the United Nations declared was legal—but Treviño held a majority opinion (at least in the United States) and has nothing to apologize for. The totalitarian-minded mob that wants Treviño blacklisted for expressing conservative views on politics and broadly mainstream views on Israel has been gaining steam on Twitter and other social media platforms.
This isn't the first time we've witnessed these tactics from the left. The same thing played out when gay-rights advocates tried to smear University of Texas sociologist Mark Regnerus for his study on same-sex parenting. They did it again to the Boy Scouts. Big-city mayor threatened block Chick-fil-A restaurants.
So I'll ask again, Why are liberals so intolerant?
Conservatives need to rally to Treviño's defense. Let's make sure The Guardian stands up for free speech and intelligent debate rather than reckless remarks like those of Rosenberg and his ilk.

Erica & Dan
June 9
St. Paul, Minnesota
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
The amazing architecture, high ceilings and floor to ceiling bookshelves immediately sold us on the James J. Hill Library. I knew from the moment I saw it, I had to get married there.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. Our flowers were incredibly gorgeous and were exactly what I wanted.
2. Personal touches that went with the library theme from a dictionary guest book to old library card drawers that contained our name cards (all of which I could not have done without the help of my Mom!)
3. Our photographer set-up a photo booth with props, which was the hit of the reception!
3. Give us the one moment from your wedding day that you can't stop thinking about.
Dan and I picked three songs to start our ceremony: first, for my grandma and our parents; second, for our groomsmen and bridesmaids; last, for my dad and I. When the first song started, I was so overcome with emotion that I almost couldn't breathe, but as the songs transitioned, and I walked down the aisle with my dad, I knew that the day was going to be even better than I could have hoped for (and it was)!

It's hard to rip out the inter lining on a boot...as far as I know, and these look like they'd be too warm, and with Jango, we all know these costumes can get really hot inside..
Not to rain on the party..but, just my thoughts.
I don't think those would work too well, unless you're doing Napoleon Dynamite Fett. If you're looking for an alternative, these are pretty popular: http://journeys.com/catalog_detail.aspx?ID=59726
True but they only size 10 left
Oh wow, the Journeys boots are on sale! Not a bad price at all.

text: Massachusetts students top "Nation's Report Card" again Massachusetts fourth- and eighth-graders once again led the nation in reading and mathematics performance on the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress exams, Governor Deval Patrick announced on November 1. This is the fourth NAEP test in a row in which Massachusetts students have scored first or tied for first place. Since 2005, Bay State fourth- and eighth-graders have led the nation in performance on NAEP exams in both reading and math. "I want to congratulate our educators and our students for continuing to produce such great results year after year," MTA President Paul Toner said after the new results were announced. "I am incredibly proud of the MTA educators who give so much every day to give our students the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, despite the challenges they face in their classrooms." According to the 2011 NAEP results announced by the governor, Massachusetts students ranked first alone among states in fourth-grade reading and in eighth-grade mathematics and tied for first in fourth-grade math and eighth-grade reading. Massachusetts fourth-graders scored higher in reading since the last test in 2009, and scores held steady for fourth-graders in mathematics and for eighth-graders in reading. "These promising results reaffirm our position as a national leader in education," said Governor Patrick. "I am extremely proud of the work our students and teachers put in to achieve these results and remain committed to ensuring that every child is prepared for success in the classroom and beyond." Known as "The Nation's Report Card," the NAEP is the federal government's official measure of what American students know and can do in core academic subjects. Governor Patrick, joined by Education Secretary Paul Reville and Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education Mitchell Chester, announced the latest NAEP results with students and teachers at the Cobbet Elementary School in Lynn. To read more about the announcement and the latest NAEP scores, visit http://www.mass.gov/governor/pressoffice/pressreleases/2011/11111-naeps-results-released.html.

Right-wing media are dishonestly arguing that senators have not had enough time to read the approximately 1,200-page immigration reform bill the weekend before a scheduled vote on it. In fact, the majority of the bill has been online since May, a fact even Karl Rove acknowledged on Fox News to push back against conservative criticism.
The bulk of the bill's 1,200 pages are available online and have been since May 21. On June 21, the Senate added enforcement provisions submitted by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND) to the main text of the bill, which total 119 pages.
Those opposed to the legislation, such as The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol jumped on the Corker-Hoeven addition to make the misleading claim that the Senate only had the weekend to review the entire bill before voting on it. As highlighted by Breitbart.com, the Washington Post's Bob Woodward also implied that the Senate was rushing to pass immigration reform, saying on the June 23 edition of Fox News Sunday: "It's proven time and time again, when you pass complicated legislation and no one has really read the bill, the outcome is absurd." Other conservative outlets, like Red State, picked up the misleading narrative, with The Drudge Report showing a picture of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) drinking from a water bottle with the headline, "Senate to vote on bill before reading it":
Corker explained that the extra pages shouldn't be a factor in whether senators had ample time to read the full bill:
"I've seen reports of a '1,200 page bill' no one has read or had time to read," Corker said in a statement, presumably in response to Sessions. "To be clear, the tough border and interior enforcement provisions that Sen. Hoeven and I offered on Friday make up 119 pages added to the 1,100 pages that have been public since May."
Fox News contributor Karl Rove also pushed back on this claim. On the June 24 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, Rove reiterated Corker's comments, saying the Corker-Hoeven amendment "has been laid out since Friday. It's relatively easy to read. It's part of the larger bill that's been laid out since May so there's plenty of time for people to read it":
On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace also made those points in pushing back against Kristol's mischaracterization, saying: "In fairness, the vast majority of the bill is simply the Gang of 8's bill. And all they've done is add to it the Corker amendment, which is still 200 pages. But it's not like it's a whole new bill."
