Author Notes:
This bread (like each of the other loaf breads I regularly make) represents the end point of an evolution that began when I started making sandwiches every day for my first son, when he entered kindergarten nearly 14 years ago. This bread is what every decent sandwich bread should be . . . . it slices perfectly, it has a fragrant, tender crust, and it's just a bit chewy. And it tastes good, just as it is, with nothing on it. (Just ask the other food52 members who came to our first potluck last month.) Like most sandwich breads, it makes excellent toast. It's great for putting on the table with dinner, too, especially when feeding ravenous teenagers. Enjoy!!

Food52 Review: This makes a sweet, yeasty, extraordinarily fragrant loaf of bread. The dough would make a perfect Pullman (sandwich) loaf, and yet is more flavorful than any we've tasted. We shaped ours into a round and it produced a plump, old-fashioned country boule. The crumb is dense but delicate, the perfect bed for shavings of salted butter. Note: We only used about 1/4 cup of flour when kneading the dough. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: one good-sized loaf
1 teaspoon of sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, or 1 ½ teaspoons of "rapid-rise" or instant yeast
7/8 cup buttermilk (lowfat is fine)
½ cup rolled oats (old fashioned or quick)
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons honey
1 ½ teaspoon salt
3 – 3 ¼ cup bread flour (You may need just a bit more for kneading.)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Olive oil for brushing the dough before baking
- Proof the yeast by putting it in a small measuring cup with 3 tablespoons of water that is warm (no hotter than 115 degrees Fahrenheit), with a pinch of sugar. Set it aside for at least ten minutes.
- (Please see the note below about kneading. You don't have to mix and knead this dough by hand, if you don't care to do so.) Mix together the buttermilk, oats, melted butter, salt, honey, 1 cup of flour and the baking soda. Beat well until combined.
- Beat in another half cup of flour, then add the yeast and water mixture along with another half cup of flour, and beat some more, until combined. The dough should start to feel a bit stretchy.
- Stir in another half cup of flour as best you can and then dump the contents of the bowl onto a lightly floured work surface.
- Set the remaining ¾ cup of flour close to your work area. Knead, adding flour a bit at a time as necessary, using a bench scraper to lift from your work surface any dough that is sticking.
- Knead for about ten or twelve minutes, adding only as much flour as you need to keep the dough from sticking hard to your hands. You don't need to add the entire amount stated in the ingredients list. Remember, this dough has oatmeal in it, which will continue to soak up the liquids in the bread during the rise. (I put a small pile of flour – no more than a few tablespoons – off to the side, and use my bench scraper to pull over a teaspoon or two at a time, as needed.)
- Let the dough rest for a few minutes while you prepare the bowl and your rising area, if necessary. (See note below about the latter.)
- Wash in hot water the same bowl that you used for mixing the dough. Dry it and drizzle in the bottom a teaspoon or two of good, fruity olive oil. You can also use butter to coat the bowl, if you prefer.
- If proofing in your microwave or in your oven, prepare as suggested in Step 17.
- Gently form the dough into a ball, put into the bowl topside down, and then flip it over to coat with the oil.
- Cover the bowl with a piece of parchment and a tea towel. Allow to rise until doubled, for about an hour to an hour and a half.
- Punch down gently, knead a few times, and set aside on the parchment you used to cover the bowl.
- Allow to rise a second time about 45 minutes or until nearly doubled in size. (If you want to use this bread for sandwiches, you may find it beneficial not to let it rise quite as much. A loaf that's a bit more dense is easier to slice, and holds up better when constructing sandwiches.) See notes below about shaping, and about using a clay pot for loaf bread.
- Brush with olive oil, slash the dough a few times with a sharp knife, and bake at 350 Fahrenheit (for regular ovens) for about 55 minutes, or until the loaf sounds hollow when the bottom is gently tapped.
- Allow to cool on a rack for about an hour before slicing.
- Enjoy!!
- A Note about Rising: If your house is drafty and/or cold (like mine, most of the year) and you don't have all day or overnight to allow your dough to rise, put a small cup of water in your microwave, and turn it on high for two minutes. It should feel ever so slightly warm. (You don't want it too hot, because a quick rise can make the bread coarse.) Remove the cup and put your covered bowl of dough, or your shaped loaf on the parchment in the case of the second rise, in there and shut the door. Instruct all members of your household, in no uncertain terms, that if they need to use the microwave, they may do so only if they remove the dough, gently, and replace it, with the door shut, when done. Or, you can warm up your regular oven to no more than 100 degrees (turning it off immediately so it doesn't get any hotter), leave the door open for a minute or so, then put your dough in there.
- A Note about Clay Pots: This recipe works well either as a free-standing oval on a pizza stone, or in a loaf pan. If using a standard metal pan, lightly oil it before putting the dough into it for the second rise. If you are using a clay pot, please remember that (i) it benefits from soaking in water before using; and (b) you can't put it, while cold, into a hot oven. So fill up the clay pot about ¾ with water and put it into the oven; about twenty minutes before the time you expect to put the bread in the oven, turn it on (325 degrees Fahrenheit for a convection oven, or 350 for a regular oven). When the dough has completed its second rise, remove the hot pan from the oven, discard the hot water – I use it for cleaning the oily bowl– and then place the dough in the clay pot, using the parchment on which the dough rose. You can oil clay pots, but they don't absorb as much water during the soak. The absorbed water creates steam in the oven, which improves the crust.
- A Note about Browning: Check the loaf after about 25 minutes. Convection ovens tend to make the crust a bit dark – especially those with milk and butter in them -- so if the crust looks done after 25 or 30 minutes, cover it very lightly with a piece of foil.
- A Note about Kneading: This dough does not necessarily have to be kneaded by hand, if you have another method that you prefer, and are able to make adjustments accordingly. I happen to like stirring and kneading, because I rely on my hands to tell me when the correct amount of flour has been added. Plus, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of using your own hands to turn a shaggy, floury mass of not-quite combined ingredients into the most glorious, smooth, shiny and supple ball of dough. I do some of my best thinking while kneading, too.

Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince
Am told that tickets are already sold out in many cities for showings on the first 3 days…
Do you have yours?
I saw it on Thursday at a press screening before the junket. So f-cking cute. And visually spectacular. And fun. And fastpaced. And if you don't want the spoilers, STOP READING NOW.
Laura had told me that Lavender Brown is the scene-stealer. Totally agree. Jessie Cave is adorable. And hilarious. And Ron has his very own Twi-Hard. Because that's exactly what Lavender is – she's a Twi-Hard. Or, more accurately, she's a Ron-Hard. She's a Ron-Hard and you will love her.
What Laura didn't mention however is that there are actually 2 scene-stealers. And the other one is Jim Broadbent as the new Potions teacher Horace Slughorn. It's Bridget Jones's father at Hogwarts, with a dash of Gilderoy Lockhart. Only not so handsome. And much more capable.
Needless to say, HP6 definitely balances the dark edge with a comedic lightheartedness that is totally irresistible – some might say that there was too much of the romantic shenanigans and not enough plot development, not enough action. I wouldn't necessarily disagree. There were parts of the book that were completely cut out and Potter purists will likely be arguing for months about whether or not they should have made more time for the fight sequence at the end, instead of allowing for much mooning and flirting. Thing is, a film cannot be 4 hours long – unless of course the director is Steven Soderberg and the feature is Che. At 2 and ½ hours, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is already losing at least a screening a day at every theatre. You add that up and it's a LOT of money. Sacrifices had to be made.
So no, I didn't mind the cute sh-t. What I did mind were a couple of key scenes that were changed significantly…
Like when Dumbledore dies. You'll recall in the book he petrifies Harry under his invisibility cloak which is why Draco is able to disarm the Headmaster resulting in his eventual demise. This makes sense. Harry is nothing if not courageous. He is a Gryffindor! And so in the movie, when he stands by and does nothing, even though he is NOT petrified, even though he'd be completely able to at least help Dumbledore stall, or fight if necessary, it doesn't make sense.
Why would this boy, who loves his mentor wizard, why would Harry just hide underneath the stairs silently, without action, just because he promised he would? It was a weak adjustment. Am not entirely sure why the change, and it's been bothering me ever since.
Same goes for the fight sequences at the end. There actually were no fight sequences, really. Harry and Snape halfheartedly go at it but it's nowhere near as intense as it was originally described, nor do we see any of the other Death Eaters scrapping with our good guys. Bill and Fleur, for example, don't show up at all.
Argument could be made then that they're saving up the spectacular battle scenes for the Deathly Hallows but in doing so it kinda made for an unsatisfying end to what was an extremely entertaining movie.
And one more small note that Laura had issue with – when Hermione agrees to let Cormac McLaggen take her to the Slug Party, all we see of the "Mistletoe" incident is her irritation, nothing of what really went down. Yeah we would have wanted to see what went down. And the actor who plays McLaggen, well they say he's gorgeous. Gorgeous, yes. But in that Cormac McLaggen way. Freddie Stroma attached.
But enough of the complaining. There is more to praise than to pander.
The way Michael Gambon delivers the line "Please…" is PERFECT.
I was grinning like an idiot and hugging myself during quidditch. The formations, the wind, the speed … wanted more. More.
Hermione's unrequited love for Ron is the sweetest ever. Her bond with Harry is even sweeter. I always want to cry every time these 3 are in a scene together just them.
For Ginny. Ginny is SO lovely. This, I think, is when she'll shine the brightest. The Chosen One of the Chosen One. And my problem with Book 7 was that Ginny was given a very tertiary role. At the time I had griped that the Chosen One of the Chosen One should have had more of a contribution. But I've since modified my perspective having realised, in the telling of the story, I don't want any girl to have more of a contribution than Hermione. Which could be a possible explanation for why Jo wrote it that way. And if that really is the case then of course the Half Blood Prince is where Ginny must illustrate why she is indeed the Chosen One of the Chosen One. And she does. Wonderfully.
How they honour Dumbledore. That's all.
Harry and the girls – note the beauty who tries to lance him right off the top. She is BEAUTIFUL.
Bellatrix is such a f-cking badass, I love her so much. Was there anyone more perfectly cast then Helena Bonham Carter? She is so satisfyingly evil, and so wonderfully unhinged, if there was ever a spin-off I'd have a hard time choosing between her and Snape.
Oh Snape.
No one makes an exit like Severus Snape. No one else has robes that sweep so dramatically, that blow so stylishly. Alan Rickman is like the Samuel L Jackson of Harry Potter. So f-cking cool. And the sexiest motherf-cker, praise Xenu. Cannot wait to see how he plays out the end. Thinking about Snape and his Patronus always chokes me up.
And finally… Harry himself. Endearing and brave, and grown up, and wise, funny and considerate, and unfailingly loyal –as corny as this sounds, you feel proud of Harry. And this is why JK Rowling is so genius. She knows her characters. And she lets you know them in the most authentic, most engaging way possible, so that when you see him finally coming into his own, it's an investment that pays off for everyone. This is why those who dismiss her creation as simply a story for children are simply just dumb.
It's a good movie. And it'll leave you so eager for more. To see how they wrap it up in 2 parts. Another year! Balls.
Go see it. And let me know your thoughts.
Wingardium Leviosa!
(it's my favourite spell)

"I think it's making you a better friend. You call on the phone. You send mail. It's the type of thing people used to do," he says.
"I can see that. It's forcing me out of my introverted bubble," I explain.
Two days later, when arriving home from giving flair, I notice an e-mail from someone who was hurt by careless words written on my blog. I immediately edit it, but it's out there in the global sphere, open to anyone interested in reading it. She recognizes that my words weren't malicious, but it doesn't take the pain away. I apologize. We reach a point of reconciliation. However, it has me second-guessing how personal I choose to be online. To what extent am I breaking another's privacy when I choose to be transparent?
It's easy to buy into the myth that Control, Alt and V will magically undo what is done. It's the digital dream of deleting the broken language of a broken man who gets careless and thoughtless. Social media is just that: social. Real people. Real conflict. Real relationships. Real hurt. Real reconciliation. It's beautiful and it's broken.
My friend Jabiz says that social media is simply a mirror of us. I'm thinking of myself in the mirror and the notion that what is backwards feels entirely normal to me. I'm wondering if maybe it's backwards to be more intimate online than I am with my acquaintances. I'm wondering if it's backwards to wish happy birthday to twenty people I've lost touch with and somehow miss a close friend's birthday. Then again, maybe it's not the medium that's backwards. Maybe it's my mentality.
I think again to the medium. If Facebook is a mirror, it's a carnival mirror, offering a distorted view of myself. Online I'm smarter, faster to speak, slower to listen. Online I don't stutter and sputter and laugh too loud. Or maybe it is an authentic mirror and maybe I'm seeing the distortion first-hand and coming to terms with what I see.
Or maybe social media isn't the mirror. Maybe social media is that place where people around you pull you away from the mirror, reminding you that you are not the illusion that you see before your eyes. Maybe social media is the chance to call me away from the backward lies that have defined my identity for too long.
I step away from the mirror.

Ask Marilyn: Help! I'm So Much Smarter Than My Boss
– 0 Comments
A.J. (city withheld) writes:
Marilyn: My problem is that I'm obviously smarter than my boss, and he resents this. What can I do?
Marilyn responds:
Make it less obvious. Better yet, make it not obvious, the same as you would do for anyone else. Also, it's possible that you resent the fact that he's your boss, and you're trying to compete with him by using your smarts against him. It's a common problem. You should use your intelligence to make your boss look good—never to make him feel bad.

Santa Clara University Ranks in Top 75 of America's Best Colleges
Marika E Krause
Santa Clara University is ranked among the top 75 of America's Best Colleges in a list just released by Forbes magazine. SCU is ranked No. 72, dramatically climbing the charts from 318 in 2008.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. Aug. 13, 2012 — Santa Clara University is ranked among the top 75 of America's Best Colleges in a list just released by Forbes magazine. SCU is ranked No. 72, dramatically climbing the charts from 318 in 2008.
Forbes says its annual list of the 650 best undergraduate institutions focuses on the quality of teaching, great career prospects, graduation rates, and low levels of debt. The rankings are based on five general categories: post- graduate success (32.5%), which evaluates alumni pay and prominence; student satisfaction (27.5%), which includes professor evaluations and freshman- to-sophomore-year retention rates; debt (17.5%), which penalizes schools for high student debt loads and default rates; four-year graduation rate (11.25%); and competitive awards (11.25%), which rewards schools whose students win prestigious scholarships and fellowships like Rhodes, Marshall or Fulbright honors. The complete methodology is available online.
Among many attributes, students pick Santa Clara University for its small class size and the individual attention they receive from professors. Forbes points out the 13-to-1 student-faculty ratio. A campus located in the heart of Silicon Valley and a strong alumni base in high-tech companies also allow students more access to internships and careers at companies like Google, LinkedIn, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and many more. As Forbes also indicated, 80 percent of our students graduate within four years, well above the national graduation rate of 53 percent.
Santa Clara University is committed to educating the whole person. While its academic excellence is widely known in the fields of engineering, business, and arts and sciences, many courses focus on critical thinking, communication, arts and humanities, global cultures, and ethics. Students often focus their work on projects that make an impact in the world in terms of social justice and sustainability.
Some of SCU's long list of notable alumni include:
· U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta '60, J.D. '63
· Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano '79
· California Governor Jerry Brown '59
· Former Mayor of Los Angeles Richard Riordan '52
· Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns author Khaled Hosseini '88
· Olympic gold and silver medalist in women's soccer Brandi Chastain '91
· NBA Player Los Angeles Lakers' Guard Steve Nash '96
· Former MLB St. Louis Cardinals Player Randy Winn '96
Forbes' profile of Santa Clara University is available online.
About Santa Clara University
Santa Clara University, a comprehensive Jesuit, Catholic university located 40 miles south of San Francisco in California's Silicon Valley, offers its more than 8,800 students rigorous undergraduate curricula in arts and sciences, business, theology, and engineering, plus master's and law degrees and engineering Ph.D.s. Distinguished nationally by one of the highest graduation rates among all U.S. master's universities, California's oldest operating higher-education institution demonstrates faith-inspired values of ethics and social justice.

Hi malt fans,
What can I say about this super premium single malt from the world renowned Spingbank Distillery. I personally recently described this as liquid gold!
On the nose your hit by real fresh earthy notes, fresh cut grass with coastal elements.
A powerful palate of oily and spicy notes then gives way a more cereal taste with elements of pine and ginger. The whole palate has undertones of sweet honey.
The finish really reveals the coastal location of the distillery (Kintyre peninsula). The long and powerful salty finish has hints of fruit.
Our super rare 21 year old bourbon hogshead distilled bottles are the centre piece of our current premium range. To reflect the rarity and quality of this product all bottles come complete with an authenticity certificate signed by Andrew R Wilson our sterling based malt master and a hand crafted 100 year old wooden presentation box making it both an exceptional gift or real stand out centre piece in any collection.
The only place you can purchase this stunning bottling in its full presentation glory is from http://www.maltsofscotlanduk.com
Thanks for reading

122[b]Special Features:
I think it would be a fun map that everyone could relate to because it looks like a dartboard.]
you have double territories that count as +2 triples as +3 but the doubles have 3 neutrals starting out and the triples have 5 neutrals starting. my idea is the outer bullseys has maybe 10 neutrals and center bullseye has maybe 20 however there could be extra bonuses for holding these. my idea is to have it so that you can't move side to side on the board except maybe through a double or triple however on the bullseye you can either attack or bombard any territory on the map. this is a new idea and very rough in my mind however i would love to have some feedback on what people think of this map idea and to help me with the technicals of it because i don't understand how the process works yet but i am willing to learn and encourage ideas from others. my creative side of my mind is always running overtime and i'm always thinking of new ideas but just yesterday is the first time i knew about the foundry for the first time. i would greatly appreciate any help and please send me a pm or post on my wall when i get a comment so i can be sure to check in

"Are you Korean?" one of the nurses in the endoscopy unit asked me yesterday.
"Nope, Chinese," I told her, and waited for the second part, which, in my experience, is usually 1.) asking if I can help translate for an Asian-eque patient who can't speak English, or 2.) asking if I know a certain other Asian person, even though (SECRET INFO) we don't all actually know each other.
But actually, she said: "Oh. Because my daughter and I went to a great Korean foot massage place this past weekend. It was totally..." At which point I wheeled around, grabbed her by her lapels (uh, her scrub lapels) and rasped, like Christian Bale's constipated Batman, tell me more about this massage place.
Because I have been looking for a good Asian massage place since we moved to Atlanta almost four years ago. I just specify Asian because usually they're a lot cheaper, and are generally disinterested in talking to you, which for me is perfect. (I don't even like chatting with the lady at the salon who cuts my hair, which I probably why I never get my hair cut until it starts getting into Yoko Ono territory.) I used to go to this old Chinese reflexology place in New York, which was on the second floor of a brownstone above, I think, a nail salon (I know, so typical), but we don't live in New York anymore, and most of the massage places I've seen around Atlanta have been of the fancy ladies-who-lunch variety, or at the very least, ladies-who-Groupon.
Also, she said the magic words, which were: foot massage. Because I think I've come to terms with the fact that I don't like body massages. I just don't. I keep thinking I should like them, because, you know, everyone likes massages, and look at me, with my bad posture and high stress job. But I just haven't ever gotten a body massage that I liked--and don't use this opportunity to tell me about your "happy ending" massage story because I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. Mostly massages are just painful. Maybe I just don't have enough muscle to massage? Because massages, no matter how light or soft I tell them to go, just feel like people contusing my bones for half an hour, and then I'm bruised for, like, a week after. So body massages are not my thing.
Foot massages, though, I can get behind. Because those are rarely painful, and my feet, I am on them a lot. See also: pregnancy. So I got the info, and today, since I was post-call and therefore early off from work, I went there.
It's called "Treat Your Feet," which I'm sure you can see because you are able to read. It's located in one of these super-industrial strip malls on the Buford Highway (which Atlanta locals will know is the place to go for Ethnic Stuffs), but the inside is actually really nice, much more luxurious than I was expecting.
Anyway, after I told them what I wanted, they hustled me into this dim room with these amazing overstuffed pillowy chairs, and brought out this bucket of hot water for me to soak my feet. And it is because I am not a vain person that I will show you what my feet look like, because hey, these are not good-looking feet right here. I can also tell now, looking at this picture full-sized, that despite it being fairly early in the day (it was about 10:30am when I took this picture) that I already had a line from the elastic where my socks were, which, I KNOW MOM, means I should probably obtain some compression stockings at some point, only they're so tight and itchy and I hate them so whatever, I'd rather be swollen.
I didn't take any pictures of the massage part because that would be weird (also it was kind of dark), but know that there was oils and kneading and hot stones and some kind of crazy little foot hammer like in "Raise the Red Lantern," and at the end, they even did a brief face/scalp/neck/shoulder massage, which was like, bonus. (The shoulder massage hurt a little bit, but the scalp massage was awesome--I wear a scrub hat a lot of the time, so who knows, maybe it's cutting off circulation to my scalp and that explains all my mental problems.)
Want to know the best part? The best, best, best part is that the one hour foot massage, with the head and neck massage, only costs $30. Actually, with this coupon (I used the "Early Bird" special because it was a better deal, but I actually I could have used either, since it is a Thursday and I am a lady, SO FAR AS YOU KNOW) only cost $26. Twenty-six dollars, people. So that's a hell of a good deal. So much so that I gave them a $15 tip, because I felt kind of guilty that my enjoyment of the experience so far outweighed the cost. Also, my dad taught me that tipping well is what you do when you're a decent person, especially if you intend to return to a place of business again. Which I most certainly will.
(Sorry, this is all very region-specific, and exactly the kind of post that would get me despondent on another blog, because why can't anyone tell me where to get an awesome $26 hourlong massage here in Bismarck? Or wherever you live. But now you know where to go when you visit Atlanta, between the Aquarium and The New World of Coke.)
Since I was already on the Buford Highway, I decided to stop by one of the many ethnic eateries for lunch, and while I was tempted to go for Korean food (one of my favorite restaurants was actually right across the street), I decided to go for something which is actually even harder to find in Atlanta, which is a good bowl of Chinese noodles. I think the place I went to was called The BBQ Corner II, which, I guess, presupposes the existence of a BBQ Corner I. Anyway, it was not really a BBQ place, except for the fact that they did sell Chinese-style grilled pork and duck. I had the duck noodle soup and some dim sum style desserts (basically sesame-encrusted glutinous rice balls filled with sweet red bean paste, deep fried). It wasn't anything mind-blowing, but in a town where it's hard to find real Chinatown-style casual Chinese food, it was more than good enough. Final bill, including a soda, $10.
So. As post-call days go, not too bad.

Sigh. Former Bachelor Ben Flajnik has resorted to online dating to try and find himself a suitable mate. Yep, turns out a female fan discovered Ben's profile on Tinder, an online dating app. (They have apps for this sort of thing now? Who knew?)
She then tweeted Ben and said, "Haha did this just happen? Hit me up on Tinder."
And being the nice yet geeky dude that he is, Ben replied to her with, "Tinder is hilarious."
Way to be smooth, Ben. Way to be smooth.
Ok, Ben may think Tinder is hilarious, but who else thinks the fact that Ben is using Tinder is what's really funny?
Here's the thing -- in case it somehow managed to slip your mind, Ben owns a winery. Did you read that right? Ben OWNS A WINERY.
How hard can be be for a dude who makes a living by making wine to find a woman who wants to date him? I mean, I know he has really bad hair, which can be a real turn-off, but did I mention that the guy has an unlimited supply of free booze?
I know the whole finding lasting love on TV thing didn't work out for him, but I don't understand why he doesn't just drive to the local bar in town, find a nice girl to chat with, and then invite her back up to the winery for a night cap. Doesn't that seem like a more effective method than a dating app?
It's like he just doesn't give himself enough credit or something, which is probably why he wound up picking Courtney Robertson on his season of The Bachelor. I'm feeling like he needs a little pep talk to boost his ego, so here it goes.
"Ben, you OWN A WINERY. Now get out there and tell every girl you run into. And if that doesn't work, tell her you were on TV. If that still doesn't do the trick -- get a haircut. The end."
Why do you think Ben has turned to online dating?

DNA Testing - know the In's and Out's of it. Genetic Genealogy, a new branch of genealogy combining genetics and traditional genealogy research, is the most accurate tool for the family historian. Family connections can be proven or disproven. DNA testing can support a paper trail which is often in question given the lack of surviving records. Its popularity grows daily with thousands testing monthly throughout the world.
08 January 2009
NOW is the Time to Test Your DNA
Why would it be important to have a DNA test done for yourself or for your family member?
Actually, there are several.
1. Interest is Growing and so are Matches
Genetic Genealogy, the use of DNA testing for genealogy, is becoming more popular and, as a result, more useful. The more people who test the greater the number of matches a person can have. These matches in the DNA signature can help break through our genealogy brick walls by showing you who does and who does not belong to your line. For this reason, it is a waste of time and resources to continue hunting the paper trail when DNA testing can help eliminate some of the data you find and help you concentrate on records which are connected to your lines.
My ancestor, Peter Ogan resided with his wife Euphemia in Frederick County Virginia in the middle 1700s. Just before moving to Belmont County Ohio in the very early 1800s, a Samuel Ogan appeared on the tax rolls. (I have only found one other Ogan in this county, a Moses Ogan.) As Samuel also arrived in Belmont County about the same time, and as some of his grandchildren were named Peter and Euphemia, I fell it was very possible that Samuel was a son of my Peter. Circumstantial evidence pointed this way, and we all know that sometimes that is all you get from your research.
Since I am writing a book on my Ogan line, I wanted to bring the family closer to the present. Therefore, I hired a researcher to scour the libraries, archives and newspapers for information on Samuel and his descendants in both Ohio and Indiana where his descendants landed. My Peter's descendants also went to other counties in Indiana. She found wonderful records and even a CD of one of Samuel's descendant's photo album.
A year or so later, I became interested in genetic genealogy and tested a descendant of Samuel. The man did not even come close to being related! Now, out of fear that I may have tested a man whose family line had an adoption or unreported illegitimate birth, I am seeking a second candidate from another son of Samuel. Regardless of the outcome of this second test, I would have never spent that much money tracking paper when I could have researched just enough to find a living DNA donor. I could have paid for four tests for the money wasted in tracing the paper trail! Never again. I will test the line first to see if they do relate to my line.
In the future, wise genealogists will begin with DNA testing before they spend hundreds of dollars tracking lines they "believe" to be theirs.
2. Accurate Research…Maybe
Most genealogists feel they have done an excellent job researching and are convinced their paper trail is correct. At present DNA testing has shown that from 2-5% of the people tested are not of the line they believe themselves to be. One never knows if their ancestor took in the orphaned neighborhood children, if the wife had a son previously which was given the new father's surname, or if some family member moved away and changed their surname.
Just as genealogy without documentation is mythology, genealogy without DNA testing is not irrefutable proof of a lineage. Granted we cannot test every line for several reasons, but to have solid proof of those we can is proof of accuracy on those lines.
3. DNA Cousins
DNA testing also allows you to find genealogical cousins with whom you can research to find the common ancestor. I have found many cousins throughout the forty plus years I have researched my family. However, in this day of DNA testing, I have found even more, and we definitely know we have a common ancestor. Together we can work on the lines to find that person.
Back to the Ogan family. I found several major groups of Ogans over those forty years. With DNA testing so far two of the known seven large families did not prove to be related, although both of them shared the given names of Peter and Euphemia. Oddly, only one other family besides my Peter had the name Euphemia, but it is good to know to whom you belong and to whom you do not.
4. Lowered Prices
DNA testing has been and will probably continue to go down in price to some degree, or you will get more for the price as all this progresses. However, waiting until the price becomes cheaper does not allow you to break through your brick walls now. No one can predict the length of our lives and our mental capacity. Acting now can help us avoid regrets later. Your descendants will be pleased you did.
5. Missed Chances
There is also the chance that the person you need to test may die unexpectedly. There are many, many cases which emphasis this point. I have had countless stories from people that their last male died just a few months or a few years ago, and they were not tested. Most of them were unexpected deaths or they just did not investigate Genetic Genealogy to see how it could help.
These researchers are saddened to learn their only other possibility is to track down a living person from an all male line that begins much farther back in their lineage. It can be difficult to do this and to convince the person to test. Unfortunately, some genealogists who have tried found the line daughtered-out on other lines or all the males were dead now. Often, a person cannot trace their line back very far, thus limiting the number of people they could locate for testing.
6. Tested After Death
I had a woman contact me about a year ago regarding a DNA sample taken from her father after he died. She requested the funeral home take the sample, but it was misplaced by the funeral home for nearly a year. Her father was the last male in her family. Luckily, the sample was found, and she called me. Upon questioning her I learned that the sample was taken with a tongue depressor, those large Popsicle sticks doctors use, put in a baggie, and stuck in the refrigerator. Well, thank goodness, it landed in the frig all this time!
I contacted the president of Family Tree DNA who suggested she send it right away and that she order only a 12 marker test so she would not be out too much money if the swab did not reveal anything useful. She was very fortunate in that it was a good sample. She later upgraded to add more markers which assisted her in researching her family history.
For this reason, it is important to consider taking a DNA sample from a deceased relative at their death, if you did not do so when they are living. Most funeral homes do not know much about DNA testing and would not have a kit available. In that case, you can order one and keep it in the refrigerator (or, at least, away from heat) to have on hand when needed. I have wanted to encourage funeral homes to offer this service to their client, but it will take the public requesting tests for it to happen, no doubt. Call your funeral home and ask them about this. Give them the name of a genetic genealogist in your area. Email me if you do not know of a genetic genealogist since I have access to a list.
7. Tested, but Gone
I have four testers in two surname projects who have died since testing. I am most thankful and grateful to have the results. I still have two men who have tested, but are "missing." There is no reply to their emails and at their age, they could be gone.
Although these men did test, the problem is that no one has the control to upgrade their test as needed now or in the future. Please remember to designate at lest two people who can control your sample. Do so in writing and have it notarized. One of these people could be the administrator of the project while another relative who has interest in genealogy. Share this paper with your family and your DNA Project Administrator. Please let the administrator(s) know who will be responsible for your test results and do not forget to give them the codes to access the kit, as well.
Remember: You never know what new discoveries will be made in the future or near future in genetic genealogy. The field is moving rapidly. For this reason, test now and continue following the progress of Genetic Genealogy so you can better use the result in solving your brick wall.
To order a test, click on the Family Tree DNA Logo to the right. Search for your surname or other existing project for the lower prices. If you have any questions, before you order, email me directly at: email@example.com

How do you approach living male relatives to ask for a sample without it seeming too intrusive? My brothers have no interest in genealogy and there are so many myths, fears about dna testing in the general population. It sounds as though you've been pretty successful in approaching others and receiving cooperation from them!

Thank you for your comment. Please refer to my articles in the archives dated 20 Sept 2008 and 1 Oct 2008. There are probably others around that same time which will help you, so browse.
To find the archives, look on the right side and find the triangles. Click on them to see the years and months.
Also realize that convincing some stranger to test isn't always successful, so plan on contacting more than one person, paying for the test and taking time to get to know them, their lines, and whether there is a family genealogist. These points are in my article.
Let me know of your success!
Best wishes,

Know Indiana Grants Help Crawfordsville Communityby Chris Barsotti, Journal Review • June 5, 2008 Share:
Wabash College looks for ways to keep its students occupied, even when school isn't in session.
In conjunction with the Lilly Endowment Quality of Life in Indiana Grant, Wabash helps students find internships through the Know Indiana portion of the grant which aims at helping students engage in academic studies of Indiana culture, heritage and people.
"This program is a really great experience," said Laura Conners, the Quality of Life in Indiana Grant facilitator. "It helps them learn professional skills and the full range of how a business works as well as being a community builder."
Seven students were placed at different non-profit cultural and governmental agencies including three students working here in Crawfordsville.
Alex Thompson, a senior majoring in philosophy with a Spanish minor, is working for the General Lew Wallace Study and Museum, Jamie Blue is working with the Sugar Creek Players Club at Vanity Theater and Mitch Brown is working at the Wabash College Ramsay Archives. Read Mitch Brown's blog entry about his internship here.
Thompson said his main duties for his time at the museum will be marketing and promotions during the summer. He also will help with publicizing the Taste of Montgomery County. He is also going to be helping with the Lew Wallace Youth Academy which takes place the second week in July.
"He is going to be a big help to us throughout the summer just because it is an extra set of hands and another person to help lead tours," associate director Amanda Wesselmann said. "When the Academy comes up in July he is going to be helping lead different sessions and will be helping out with the kids."
Jamie Blue, a junior majoring in Psychology and minoring in history and music, said he got his internship by a mere coincidence. "I was at an international dinner at Wabash and met Mike Swift (treasurer of Sugar Creek Players) and he suggested the opportunity. I thought it was worth a shot," he said. "It is really great to be working with the two musicals they are performing this summer."
Blue said he has been doing inventory of props as well as marketing for the current play, Cinderella. "This has been a huge help in getting to know more about downtown Crawfordsville," he said. "I would really recommend the program to other students because it has the possibility of opening many doors for them once their college careers are over."
Later this summer, Blue said he will be learning business aspects of the theater.
Brown majors in modern languages and classics and actually came up with the idea of his internship based on his time spent last year in the Present Indiana project.
"Mitch did a research project last summer on the history of the Brown County Art Colony and really became passionate about the subject," Conners said. "He approached us about the possibility of his current internship at the Ramsay Archives and now he is a historic arts intern."
Brown will be responsible for reconciling the inventory of the art works on campus and he will also conduct site inventories of the art in each campus building to create an accurate inventory in terms of location and condition.

Several of my colleagues and I have spent most of this week researching, writing and talking about Chrysler Group's decision to fight the recall of the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-07 Jeep Liberty.
The whole thing has left me with an unanswered question for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: Where's the XJ, the 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee?
If the early models of the Grand Cherokee -- called the ZJ -- are unsafe, as NHTSA contends, because of the design and performance of their fuel tanks, why aren't the Cherokees equally unsafe?
We did ask NHTSA the question, a couple of times. We just didn't get an answer.
The two vehicles, the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, have almost the same fuel system -- the same design, the same materials, the same location behind the rear axle -- according to a person who helped design both vehicles. The same fuel system design was largely carried over when the Liberty replaced the Cherokee in 2001.
In fact, with the exception of the sheet metal, the only difference between the Cherokee and those early Grand Cherokees from a design standpoint was six additional inches of space in the back seat, between the B and C pillars.
Yet, at least if Chrysler's analysis of NHTSA's crash data is to be believed, the 1984-92 Cherokee's rate of fatal rear-impact crashes with fire was between the Liberty and Grand Cherokee, while the 1993-2001 Cherokee rate was lower.
Earlier NHTSA communications with Chrysler -- this investigation began in August 2010 -- mentioned the Cherokee, but that vehicle disappeared from view when the official recall request was sent to Chrysler Monday.
A transitive property in mathematics states that if "A" is equal to "B" and "B" is equal to "C," then "A" and "C" must be equal.
So NHTSA, we'll ask again: if the fuel system in the Grand Cherokee and the Liberty are unsafe, and the Grand Cherokee and Liberty's fuel systems are the same as the Cherokee's, why is the Cherokee unequal?
Because that's a stumper.

One minute you're holding your newborn baby, next thing you know, your little one is already 3 years old! Time to sign up for preschool. Time for dress-up, play dough, sandboxes, snack time, and singing in circle time. Yay!
But wait -- maybe you think your toddler is ready for preschool. But is he, really? Is the preschool ready for her? Better think this through a bit, first. Here are some signs your toddler might not be so ready for preschool after all.
More from The Stir: First Day of School: Starting Off on the Right Foot (PHOTOS)
1. When you ask your toddler, "Show Mommy your knee!" he bites you on the knee.
2. Whenever you introduce your kid to anther child, the first thing he says is "MINE!" and tries to tear the kid's hair off her head.
3. Your child only knows one word: NO.
4. You haven't been able to wrest your kid's security blanket out of her hands long enough to wash out the E. coli, snot, vomit, dirt, and chocolate pudding and it's been declared a bio-hazard by the local health department.
5. You're down to just eight tantrums a day -- hooray! That's still not low enough.
6. Your kid will only nap after 15 renditions of "The Mermaid Cafe" in five different languages, exactly three tablespoons of strawberry yogurt, two trips to the potty, and the sight of your exasperated tears.
7. Your child's food allergies list is longer than the novel War and Peace.
8. You have a really picky eater: He only eats other kids' food.
9. Your child knows all the words to "This Is the Song That Never Ends" and has been singing it since October.
10. Your child takes an ideological stand against learning letters and numbers.
Does any of this sound familiar? I dunno, that might mean you need to wait a bit before unleashing your child up on the public. But hey, I'm not judging! Just looking out for those intrepid preschool teachers.
Have you ever wondered if your child is really ready for preschool?

For many of us, the news out of Washington just goes from unimpressive to unbelievable. One exception to this, however, came from our newest senator, Tim Scott. Late last month there was a vote on a bill which would have stopped the gifting of F-16 fighters and other advanced military hardware to Egypt, now led by the Muslim Brotherhood, as part of our generous foreign aid program. Egypt, with support from its new best friend Iran, has been building up its military with foreign aid from the U.S. for years.
At a time when we should be counting our pennies, yes even in Washington, the Senate in a business as usual way voted to continue the foreign aid gravy train to Egypt by the vote of 79 to 19. Sen. Scott and 18 other Republicans voted no. Among those voting to continue the gifting was S.C. Senator Lindsey Graham and all the Democrats.
I cannot understand how any American could vote to give the Muslim Brotherhood this kind of advanced weapon system nor can I understand how we feel we can afford such grandiose largess to a country that is not, shall we say, in our camp these days. More importantly, what must Israel think to know that we are arming their avowed enemy?
Should we be forced into a war with Iran, a sad possibility but a growing probability, how tragic will it be to know that Iran's ally, Egypt, has a modern Air Force with which to assist its friend against us.
Sen. Tim Scott stood by principles that many of us believe in and for that I feel that all of us in South Carolina should be proud.

Stanton set up for season after monster homers
TAMPA, Fla. -- Could this be Giancarlo Stanton's breakout year?
Last Sunday, as the Marlins slugger stood waiting at the plate, young Tigers pitcher Drew Smyly admitted, "I thought I could sneak a fastball by him."
TAMPA, Fla. -- Could this be Giancarlo Stanton's breakout year?
Last Sunday, as the Marlins slugger stood waiting at the plate, young Tigers pitcher Drew Smyly admitted, "I thought I could sneak a fastball by him."
He couldn't.
The pitch was obviously gone the moment it made contact with Stanton's bat -- a monster two-run homer. "He got it all," Smyly confessed later with a faint smile.
Stanton's homer was the longest anyone struck this year at the Tigers' Joker Marchant Stadium, spring home of Miguel Cabrera, the former Marlins star who now is widely hailed as the best hitter in the game and on Friday signed a contract extension with Detroit that will reportedly pay him $292 million for the next 10 seasons.
"Sometimes I don't watch them go out and get mad at myself, but on that one, I was like, 'Let's see how far this one's going,'" Smyly said. "It almost hit the light pole. You have to be impressed."
Stanton's blast sailed to the left of the batter's eye in straight-away center field, more than 420 feet from home plate, landing on the other side of the berm that separates the stadium from the practice field named for Hall of Famer Al Kaline.
It reminded the Marlins and their fans of the Stanton's mammoth blast against the Mets in Port St. Lucie, Fla., earlier this spring that struck the upper portion of a three-tier chain-link fence that serves as the hitters' backdrop on an adjacent field. Eye-witnesses estimated the distance at 500-550 feet.
Mets manager Terry Collins later raved that Stanton has more power than any slugger he has ever seen.
Stanton had one of his better springs, batting .267 with five home runs (tied for third in the National League) and 15 RBIs (second in the NL).
"He looks happy, he looks confident, I think he's more relaxed," manager Mike Redmond said Saturday. "I think he has really benefited from the veteran guys we brought in."
Redmond has gone on the record this spring predicting Stanton "is going to have a big year."
"This guy really hasn't even scratched the surface of what he's going to be yet," Redmond said. "This guy can be the best hitter in baseball."
Still only 24, Stanton led the NL in slugging percentage in 2012 and last year became just the ninth player in history to belt 100 home runs in his first 400 Major League at-bats.
Stanton was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup after the rain began moving in, but the game was ultimately cancelled.

Earlier this week, I noted that PA President Abbas was in the process of deciding whether to engage in "proximity talks" with Israel, and would consult with Arab states about the matter this week. However, I neglected to emphasize the sad fact that Abbas thinks he needs approval from Arab leaders before he can engage in non-talk talks with Israel.
That fact is not lost on Elliott Abrams. In a column called "Who Speaks for the Palestinians?" he presents a compelling case that the answer is not the hapless Abbas. According to Haaretz, the PA president will dutifully await a Saturday vote by the Arab League's "Monitoring Committee for the Arab Peace Initiative" and is unlikely to accept any offer for peace talks that does not meet the panel's approval.
This means that Israel cannot truly engage in a "peace process" with the Palestinians (a foolish enough errand under current circumstances), but instead will ultimately be negotiating with the Arab states, including the likes of Syria which is currently supplying Hezbollah with Scud missiles.
Abbas is scheduled to visit the White House in mid-May. But, other than conferring undeserved prestige on the PA president, Obama's goals would be better served by inviting Bashar al Assad and eliminating the middle man.
As Abrams concludes, "once again the Arab states intrude deeply into the 'peace process,' and as always they will have their own national interests at heart–not the fate of the Palestinians." Moreover, "it is a keen measure of the fall of American influence in the region when a Palestinian leader responds to intense American pressure to go to the negotiating table by waiting to see if Arab League foreign ministers will let him take that step."

This year the Winter Olympics are located in Vancouver, Canada. The Winter Olympics occur every 4 years.
The male Olympic athlete that I chose is Marc-Andre Bédard. He was born in Beauport, Quebec on February 19th, 1986. He is 23 years old and will celebrate his 24th birthday on February 19th during the 2010 Winter Olympics. He lives in Valcariter, Quebec, Canada.
Marc-Andre's sport is the biathlon which he began at the age of 14 years old. An athlete that does biathlon is called a biathlete. He started to do biathlon when he was 14 years old. He has a role model which is Myriam Bédard. Myriam is a 1994 Olympic gold medalist. In 2004, Marc-André competed in his first relay event which was in a European race. Later, in 2006, it was his first individual race. Then, in 2008, he won in first place in a sprint event of the European Cup race. Continue reading

Deadly Bovine Disease Ousted
United Nation officials declare rinderpest the first animal disease to be fully eradicated.
Jun 30, 2011
Cristina Luiggi
This past Tuesday (June 28), zoologists, veterinarians, and public health officials from around the world celebrated the second time in history that a disease has been wiped out from the face of the Earth. Rinderpest, a deadly viral disease that has plagued cattle and other cloven-hoofed animals since antiquity, now joins the ranks of smallpox, which was officially eradicated in 1979.
With the last documented case of rinderpest appearing nearly a decade ago in a wild buffalo in Kenya, the official declaration this week brings to a triumphant end an eradication campaign begun in 1945 with the creation of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the New York Times reports. It was during the FAO's annual conference in Rome this week that the announcement was made. In his keynote speech, Nobel Laureate Peter C. Doherty expressed his optimism for the eradication of other common scourges, in particular, rinderpest's closest genetic kin, the measles virus. "As a one-host pathogen of humans, it should also be possible to eliminate measles from the planet," he said, adding that standing in the way are "the anti-vaccination movements in the advanced countries."

Browser falls over.
Subject description: Unable to find a stable browser fpr Lucid 5.2.7
Iam new to Puppy.
I recently installed 5.2.7 to HDD on my old Dell CSx.
I started off with Seamonkey, because it is not very different from Firefox and I use that on my desktop.
But it kept falling over - even had problems sending error reports.
So I decided to try Opera. This also crashed, but gave a more helpful report.
The report says that Opera is getting a SIGSEGV message.
I understand that this is something to do with addressing.
Can anyone tell me the best way to approach this problem, please?
Should I be looking at hardware or software?
Is there a way of testing hardware under Puppy?
Will upgrading to 5.2.8 make any difference?
What else could I try?

its been a while since I did this, and am working from memory on a non-puppy machine (so please forgive any ommissions)
If you have windows on this machine, be sure to run defragment first--otherwise bad things can happen
start the computer
at the puppy logo, hit f2 and then type puppy pfix=ram
you may have to reset your keyboard choice, etc
once puppy starts, look for gparted partition manager ( I think its under "system"
start gparted.
you will get a graphical interface that shows your harddrive as a slider. I think you click "partition" create new. and then tell it how much space to give. Generally, you give it about 2x's your ram, so in your case about 500. I think its probably good to have this partition near the back (right side on the slider) part of your harddrive. When given the choice of what type of format for the partition, select linux swap. click all of the appropriate "ok's" to make it happen.
Let everything run for a bit.
Shut down puppy. It will ask if you want a new save file. Say no.
restart puppy normally. It should automatically detect and use the swap file. the way to see if it is there is to click the console button and type "htop" press return
This should show all your running processes . at the top will show your cpu usage, memory (ram) and swp (swap)
basically swap acts like a page file in windows, moving stuff from ram to your harddrive as needed so ram heavy applications like browsers don't crash.
Also, on your older machine, you might consider using Wary or "2.14 classic pup. " Both are fully functional versions of puppy that are aimed towards working better on older slower machines.

Thanks sfeeley.
I have a 10GB disk that I set up as one partitiom.
Puppy now resides on this partition. There is no Windows partition.
gparted does not allow me to resize or create a new partition.
Do I have any other option but to start over?

Instead of a swap partition you could create a swap file on /mnt/home. To make a 250M swap file:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/home/puppy.swp bs=1024 count=250k
mkswap /mnt/home/puppy.swp
Then open the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local with a text editor & add this line:
swapon /mnt/home/puppy.swp
Save, then reboot. To check it's being used, run the command
in a console.

Does not a swapfile work as well as a awap partition? Is the swap partition faster or more reliable or what?
sorry I know too little and I have 1GB so I do trust that 256 is on the low side.
The Devs of Lupu525 tried to made that one to cope with only 256MB but that is if one don't open too many tabs and so on.
Firefox and Seamonkey easily get bogged down due to flash wanting to log every falsh file and the url and them keep that in memory and update it so you should try to find the old threads where them tested to make that big file to get deleted when one had the need to keep low memory requirement.
Them wrote a lot about it so try to find those threads. use the search I link to that one is better than the search in the forum.
Latest Firefox Beta 7.0 something is better at memory management than the older ones so try to read the threads how to upgrade to that one.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

You can do what muggins suggested. I'm not really sure if there's any performance difference between a partition and file, so that may be the best since my suggestion didn't work.
although . . .
. . . if you did want to make a partition: I may have left something out of my earlier instructions. Boot from CD ( <-- I forgot this ) and then at the initial splash be sure to to hit f2 then type "puppy pfix=ram " ( <--maybe you forgot this?)
Also, I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that you had done a "frugal" install. I'm not sure what happens if you did a "full" install.
(and I'll reiterate my earlier suggestion to try out one of the other puppies I suggested. I run classic pup on an old laptop with 256ram and it works quite well)

I would start over and use Lucid Puppy 5.2.8.
Lucid Puppy 5.2.7 was still a test version on the way to making 5.2.8
What you are describing about Seamonkey and Opera you should not be seeing. You may have done something wrong in the way you installed Puppy or how you installed Seamonkey or Opera. Make sure you get the browsers from
(on the desktop) or
Puppy Package Manager
I would start fresh and use Gparted to set up your hard drive.
To use Gparted:
Boot with the Puppy live CD
At the Puppy boot screen hit F2 key.
Use the boot option puppy pfix=ram.
This keeps the hard drive from being mounted.
Hard drive can not be mounted for Gparted to work.
If you are only putting Puppy on computer:
Run Gparted.
delete everything on hard drive. Start new.
Make one partition of 1GB to 2GB formatted as a Linux swap partition.
Make a second partition from what is left formatted ext3. (flag as boot)
Install Puppy to the ext3 partition.
Look over this info to see how you want to install Puppy.
There are guides on how to do different installs of Puppy.
Ways to install Puppy:
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I've been told a swap partition is better than a swap file, though I couldn't tell you in what ways. However, if you don't want to mess with the partitioning of your drives (such as when you're using a Frugal install over an existing system setup, like Windows), you may well want to use a swap file. It's just another file on the HD, as far as Windows will be concerned... a likely
file, but still, just another file.

Thanks Guys!
I have followed Muggins' advice and created a swap-file.
After opening several tabs in Opera, I was able to see that RAM was all in use and the system had started to use some of the swap-file.
So it looks like everything is running well and I shall continue using Puppy as it is, unless I find a compelling reason to change.
But I will bear all the other advicce in mind, in case I need it at a later date.
I think we can safely say - PROBLEM SOLVED.
Thanks again for coming to my aid so swiftly.
Best regards, Mike.

I have finally taken sfeely's advice and am now using Wary 5.2.2.
This is very fast and stable on my old Dell Latitude CSx - Pentium III - 256MB RAM.
It is interesting to note that the machine doesn't get so hot as it used to!
Can't say I am crazy about the appearance of the desktop, but I can live with it because everything else is so good.
Thanks again for everyone's help.

He has played well, and got some points in bunches while we were pouring in goals, but he has had quite a few non-descript games as well. I am not at all saying he is never going to be the same, but there is not a lot of time left for him to regain his speed and puck control. Neither are at their top level at this point and we are definitely going to need him against the Flyers. I hope it comes that quickly.

We urge the town to do so as soon as possible to demonstrate its commitment to open government. Town officials must realize that they must participate in this vital state program.
It is urgent, in this day of information moving across the Web at the speed of light, that the sun shine on federal, state, county, town, village and school district government operations and decisions. This is not something we should push only during Sunshine Week. Rather, it should be a constant effort. Those who have the power to decide on public matters are sometimes defensive about their decisions and may seek to control information to limit informed debate.
That must not be allowed to happen, and the governor's new website will go a long way toward ensuring that information is available to everyone. Town of Hempstead officials must not drag their heels on this issue. It is just too important.
We need to see our local leaders declare their dedication to open government at every level. We need to see the information that is vital to the great debates of our day, from health care and national defense to school budgets, made public so that those debates can be informed.
We need that commitment to begin now, with the inclusion of that information on open.ny.gov.
