Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the you-are-just-the-entertainment deptTopping this week's "most insightful comments" list (by a large margin of votes, too) was an Anonymous Coward, responding to one of our usual critics making the bizarre claim that commenters who agree with Techdirt are really Google "shills." The AC took exception to that ridiculous claim:
Why do you guys have such a hard time believing that normal, hard working, paying people also come here?Not surprisingly, the guy who made the original comment chose not to respond.
I work in the aerospace manufacturing industry. We make parts for those airplanes you jet around the country in.
We have nothing to do with watching movies (productivity loss), or listening to music (safety hazard).
We make parts that go into airplanes.
I read those laws.
Our industries don't even come close to touching each other, and yet, your laws were going to make my job as an IT Administrator way harder, with zero compensation for it.
Your laws were going to make it harder for communication between our customers and vendors.
We already have problems just from trying to keep information secure, so the hackers and terrorists can't get in and figure out how to build these planes...or how they are made to figure out how to attack best.
Not to mention the traceability required when performing that kind of manufacturing....to make sure the damn things don't fall out of the sky....
And yet, you wanted to pass laws that would affect the very thing that would allow us to be able to communicate this information in a timely manner....ALL because YOU don't want to evolve, and came in late to the game.
I am not Google.
I am an American Citizen, working in an American factory, providing American manufactured parts (metal to finished part) to companies across the world.
You, sir, are just the entertainment.
Coming in second was a comment from That Anonymous Coward, responding to the news that ISPs will be ready to start acting as Hollywood's internet copyright cops come July, by turning on their six strikes plan.
Actually its time to sue the telcos.As for the editor's choice awards for most insightful, we'll give the first one to Chosen Reject who had quite an excellent explanation of not just the difference between copying and stealing, but also what the mindset is of those who think copying can be stealing:
If they want to take actions based on mere accusations while taking peoples money, then they obviously do not need rights of way or easements. I think its time they start paying for every pole, and returning all public funds they used to expand their networks.
They are there to provide a service to the people paying them, not some lobbyist group with no actual legal standing in the contract between the customers or the municipalities.
As has been shown time and time again, this process of detecting infringement is flawed on a serious level. To take away a service that has been paid for without any legal basis seems like a slam dunk class action lawsuit against every ISP taking part in this. This would be akin to Ford/GM/Chrysler coming and taking away your car based on a neighbor calling in they saw a blue car speeding and you own a blue car.
The process which makes every attempt to look fair, limits the responses to these letters to a very select few choices, all of them leaving out the defenses offered legally and ignoring the best answer of misidentification. It is more of the corporations are always right and you must give into them.
I could see a court ending someones "right" to internet service, but this avoids the pesky hassle of the law being involved at all. This will lead to more things happening at the ISP level that the end customer will end up subsidizing to make work to keep the **AA's from suing, despite not having the standing to do so.
I look forward to the FCC explaining how this is all legal and correct, with much spin and feigning ignorance of what is happening.
IP Rights and Corporate Rights keep trumping the rights of the people. Its time to vote with our wallets, and with lawsuits. There needs to be a clear loud response like the antiSOPA/PIPA campaign that the balance has shifted to far and we are unwilling to accept it any more.
I'm going to share my thoughts with you, but I'm going to do so under your definition of stealing. That is, you need to pay me for them or I will declare that you stole them. Why? Because if you read further you will have my thoughts without having paid for it, so you aren't entitled to them.The second editor's choice award goes to a great comment from an Anonymous Coward, responding to RIAA and MPAA execs talking about how their "opponents" beat them on the SOPA debate. This AC noted the root of the problem:
Stealing is wrong, we both agree on that, but apparently we disagree on why stealing is wrong. I (and almost every other person out there) thinks stealing is wrong because you are taking something away from someone else has the right to that thing. You apparently think stealing is wrong because someone acquired something.
Did you spot the difference? You hate that people have something, whereas most human beings hate that someone took something away from someone else. We dislike the taking away, you just dislike the having.
Stealing is stealing, copying is copying. In both situations someone ends up with something. In only one situation does someone lost something. That you equate the two shows that you don't like people having things.
If they stopped using the word "opponent" and instead used the word "customer" they might have an ah-ha moment.Moving over to the funny side of the comments, we had a bunch of comments at the top of the votes all clustered very closely together, but eking out a first place finish was, amazingly, another commenter responding to the same critic (bob) who wrote the comment that got someone the win for most insightful. So, critic bob gets extra "inducement" points this week for creating comments so ridiculous that they inspired responses that won both the most insightful comment award and the funniest. Way to go bob! Thanks for contributing.
The specific comment that won was an Anonymous Coward's response to bob's incorrect belief that emailing the MPAA/RIAA a scanned image of a dollar bill was a form of counterfeiting. The AC summarized what most of us were thinking pretty succinctly:
And suddenly a thousand professors of economics, finance, logic, and law cried out in terror.Coming in second was Suja on the story of the UK agreeing to extradite a student to the US for his site that had links to content, some of which was infringing. Another regular critic (you're off the hook on this one, bob) said the lesson in all of this was "Don't Steal Content." Which is funny, because Richard O'Dwyer didn't. Suja explained more specifically:
linking is stealing too now?For editor's choice, we actually have a comment that only works if you read a set of three comments together (from two different Anonymous Cowards) in discussing Yahoo's decision to sue Facebook for patent infringement:
what ISN'T stealing these days?
tell you what... DON'T MAKE POSTS, you're stealing my fuckin' braincells
AC 1: Yahoo will be a great case study in the future (if it isn't already).Ah, trademark humor.
AC 2: you forgot the "!"
AC 1: You're right. Yahoo will be a great! case study in the future.
And the second editor's choice award also refers to the Richard O'Dwyer case, and one AC's questioning the priorities of law enforcement:
The streets are now clean from the scum, and we can all feel safer tonight knowing this criminal won't threaten the people of the world with unauthorized linking.And, on that note, we'll be back tomorrow with more shivers to send down your spines...
Can you imagine, he was actually linking to videos on the Internet. VIDEOS! AT WHO KNOWS HOW MANY FRAMES PER-SECOND!
Sends shivers down your spine, doesn't it.

Oracle Application Express (APEX) 4.2.2 is now released, you can read up and download it here, or try it out on http://apex.oracle.com. In addition to fixing some bugs Oracle APEX 4.2.2 includes a major upgrade of all 18 productivity and all 16 database sample applications. You can find these applications by navigating to the application builder from the APEX home page, then clicking the "Packaged Applications" tab.
Clicking on a given app allows you to install the application, if not already installed, or upgrade if the app is already installed from a previous Oracle APEX version.
In terms of highlights Oracle APEX 4.2.2 introduces a new survey builder app that is modern and robust, and a new brookstrut sample application that has a nice mash up with google maps. All productivity and sample apps make greater use of APEX plugin's and have improved in-application documentation. All sample applications have been ported to APEX theme 25 which is our responsive grid layout based theme.
Our most popular packaged app P-Track has been enhanced and refined, so if you are a P-Track user you should strongly consider upgrading. Or sample app "Sample Tabular forms" has been renamed Sample Forms and Grid Layout. This sample app includes explanation of how to use Oracle APEX grid layout and is a great application to review for any APEX developer making the leap to grid layout.
We hope our Oracle APEX 4.2.2 release will give both novice and advanced Oracle APEX developers ideas and examples both in the context of a real application (e.g. our productivity apps) and in the form of sample applications. Note you can always install a packaged application then unlock it; thus allowing you to see how it was coded. But if you unlock the application it removes the ability to upgrade to new releases.
Mostly Oracle Database, Oracle APEX, ORDS, and SQL Developer.

In tit-for-tat, Apple seeks to expand Samsung patent suit
Apple's asked a court to allow it to add six more Samsung products to its patent infringement lawsuit in what's an ever-escalating battle between the two firms.
Last week, Samsung asked to add more products, including the iPad Mini, to its patent suit against Apple. But Apple's now retaliated by asking for its own patent suit against Samsung to be broadened out too.
"Apple has acted quickly and diligently to determine that these newly-released products do infringe many of the same claims already asserted by Apple," the company says in its Friday court filing.
According to the filing, Apple now wants to include the Samsung Galaxy S III, running the new Jelly Bean OS, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wifi, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, the Samsung Rugby Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini.
All these products have either been released since the original patent claim was filed, or else have received OS updates.
"Apple's motion highlights that all of these products (or product upgrades) were released after the fifth-generation iPod touch Samsung would like to include in this lawsuit, a fact that should make it difficult for the court to allow Samsung the addition of the fifth-generation iPod touch (apparently already released in early October) while denying Apple's latest proposed additions as untimely," says patent expert Florian Mueller.
Apple has more to gain than Samsung by widening the scope of the patent suits. Samsung has a much broader product line, and one which tends to be updated more often.
The case is due to go to trial in March 2014 - by which time many of the products concerned are likely to be pretty obsolete.

My manager refuses to correct his dogs for jumping. He wants to do positive, but truthfully doesn't really try that hard, he doesn't really care.
His dogs jump on me, he reacts when I correct them, and tells me to use positive, but I'm not around them enough for repititions to make a difference. They are all pit bull types(4) and they also jump on whoever they meet, or he'll manage them via leash.
There are 2 behaviors in dogs that irritate the ever-loving crap out of me; chronic jumping and attention or demand barking and whining.
Am I a _ _ _ _ _ or what?

Ticks are often found in plants and brush, and can attach to and bite people and animals. Most tick bites are not harmful; however, ticks can carry serious diseases including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
Tick Bites
Most commonly, ticks attach to warm, moist, and hard-to-see parts of the body including the scalp, armpits, groin, skin folds, and other hairy areas. Ticks must be removed properly to minimize the chances of infection
- Wear appropriate clothing outdoors to reduce exposure
- Use tick repellant with DEET
- Check for ticks if you spend time in the woods
Lyme Disease
A Lyme disease bacterium is carried in the deer tick (in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central U.S.) and the western blacklegged tick on the Pacific Coast. In most cases, the tick must be attached 36-48 hours to spread Lyme disease. A circular, red, expanding rash (erythema migrans, or a "bullseye" rash) is one of the first symptoms of Lyme disease. Other symptoms include fatigue, chills, fever, headache, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes. Treatment in the early stages with antibiotics is generally effective.
Poisonous Black Widow Spiders
Black widow spiders are about ½ inch wide; with a shiny, black, globular abdomen that has the distinctive red hourglass on the underside. Only the female of the species bites humans. They live throughout the U.S., but most are found in the southern regions.
Black Widow Spider Bites
Black widow spider bite symptoms usually start 20 minutes to one hour following the bite, and can include pain, though not all people experience pain. Other symptoms include muscle cramps and spasms, abdominal pain, tremors, weakness, or a rise in blood pressure. Seek medical attention immediately. Treatment includes antivenin (which counteracts the spider toxin) and pain medications if necessary.
Deadly Brown Recluse Spiders
Brown recluse spiders are extremely poisonous, and bites can cause infection and illness. They are found mostly in the Midwestern and Southeastern U.S. They are yellowish-tan to dark brown in color with darker legs that are about one inch in length. They have a characteristic violin pattern on their back.
Brown Recluse Spider Bites
The bite of a brown recluse spider is usually painless, but may feel like a mild bee sting. Symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite include severe pain at the site of the bite that develops about four hours after the bite; followed by severe itching, nausea, vomiting, fever, and muscle pain. See a doctor immediately if you think you have been bitten by a brown recluse spider bite. If possible, bring the spider to the ER for proper identification.
Itchy Head Lice
Head lice are about 2-3 millimeters (mm) long, and they infest the head and neck area, usually hidden in your hair. Head lice spread through direct contact with the hair of a person infested with head lice. It is most common among preschool and elementary school-aged children, and members of the household of children who are infested with head lice. Head lice are not known for spreading disease, however, they may cause itching, and scratching may lead to infection.
Head Lice Remedies
Treatment is recommended for anyone with an active infestation of head lice. Pediculicides (medicines that kill lice) may be prescribed by your doctor. Wash all clothing and bedding used by the person infested with head lice. Often, it is recommended that family members also be treated at the same time to prevent further head lice infestation.
Fleas: Not for Pets Only
Fleas are not just a problem for Fido – they can bite people too. Fleas are about 2.5 millimeters (mm) long, they are reddish-brown in color, and while wingless, they can jump large distances. They suck blood from their host to feed.
Flea Bites
Some people may develop an allergic reaction to a flea bite. Scratching an itchy flea bite can cause the skin on and around the bitten area to break open, which can lead to infection. Make sure all pets in your home are on flea preventative products, keep your home clean, and treat any flea infestations that may occur.
Bee, Hornet, Wasp, Yellow Jacket
The stings of bees, wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets can cause severe reactions in people who are allergic to their stings. Normal reactions include pain, redness, and swelling around the site of the sting.
Bee, Hornet, Wasp, Yellow Jacket Stings
If you are allergic to bees, hornets, wasps, or yellow jackets, seek emergency care immediately to prevent or manage an anaphylactic reaction. Use an EpiPen (epinephrine) if you have one. In all cases, remove the stinger if possible to avoid receiving more venom, and clean the sting area with antiseptic. You may take over-the-counter antihistamines for itching or hives, and over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) for pain and inflammation.
Fire Ants
The red imported fire ant is found mainly in the Southern U.S. They are reddish brown to reddish black and have a stinger. They build large dirt mounds, usually in sunny areas. Their bite usually is painful, and will cause an itchy, raised area on your skin (hive), followed by a pus-filled blister.
Fire Ant Stings
When a fire ant bites you, you will feel it! An itchy hive will develop. Hours later, a blister filled with pus can form. If you suffer from a severe allergic reaction to a fire ant bite, seek medical care immediately. Otherwise, to help relieve the pain and itching, use over-the-counter pain relievers and antihistamines. Do not break the blisters, and keep the area clean to avoid secondary infection.
Itchy Chiggers
Chiggers are a type of mite from the family known as Trombiculidae. They are barely visible to the naked eye, and in their juvenile (larval) form, they can bite humans. Chiggers found in the U.S. do not spread disease, but their bites can cause intense itching and small red bumps.
Chigger Bites
Itching from chigger bites is most intense 1 to 2 days following the bite. This is when the chigger falls off and can leave red welts that may resemble a blister or pimple. Scratching can lead to a secondary infection, so treatment is directed at relief of itching symptoms. Use over-the-counter antihistamine creams to help relieve itching and prevent scratching. Consult your doctor if you have concerns.
Scabies are mites that burrow into the skin, causing intense itching. Scabies spread by close contact with a person infested with scabies, or by sharing towels, sheets, and other personal items with a person infested with scabies.
Treating Scabies
It can take weeks after the scabies mites burrow into the skin before you will experience severe itching or rash, with small blisters or sores. The intense itching is usually worse at night. Most commonly, the itching will be between the fingers, on the outside of the elbows or armpits, around the waistline, or on the buttocks. Scabies can only be cured with medicated creams, lotions, or pills. Family members who share a household with a person infested with scabies may also be prescribed treatment.
Bedbugs are reddish brown, and less than 1 millimeter (mm) in size. They are frequently found in bedding, but can also be found in areas of clutter, or in old furniture.
Bedbug Bites
Most of the time, the reaction to a bedbug bite is mild, and usually in the form of small, red, itchy bumps. Treatment includes over-the-counter cortisone creams and antihistamines to relieve the itching. Excessive scratching can cause a secondary infection.
Puss Caterpillar
The puss caterpillar (woolly slug, or asp) is the most toxic caterpillar in the U.S., and is found mostly in Southern states. It measures about 1 inch long and appears furry. The longer hairs camouflage spines that have venom. It feeds on shade trees such as elm, oak, and sycamore, or bushes such as holly.
Puss Caterpillar Stings
Symptoms of a pus caterpillar bite include immediate waves of intense pain, itchy rash, nausea and vomiting, restlessness, fever, muscle cramps, and symptoms of shock. If you come into contact with a puss caterpillar, remove the broken-off spines by using cellophane tape or a commercial facial peel, and call your doctor. Apply an ice pack and take over-the-counter antihistamines to relieve itching.
Deadly Scorpions
Scorpions are related to spiders and mites, and are found mostly in the Southern and Western U.S. They range in length from about 9 to 21 cm, and the last tail segment contains the stinger that transmits a toxin to the recipient of a sting. Most scorpions are harmless, but some can be lethal. Scorpion sting symptoms include pain, swelling, and itching at the sting site. Severe symptoms include numbness, difficulty swallowing, blurred vision, seizures, and difficulty breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if bitten by a scorpion.
Painful Deerflies
Deer flies are about the same size as houseflies, and they are yellow or black in color, with patterned wings. They are mostly active on warm, sunny days with little wind and they thrive in areas such as beaches, lakes, or woods near damp areas. Bites are usually painful, though most of the time not severe. In rare cases, the flies can transmit the Tularemia bacterium, which requires medical attention. Prevent deerfly bites by wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent.
Annoying Mosquitoes
For the most part, mosquitoes cause itchy hives when they bite. But they can also carry diseases such as West Nile virus, dengue fever virus, malaria, and others. Scratching mosquito bites can also cause infection. Prevent mosquitoes in your yard by draining standing water. Keep them out of your home by using window screens. To protect yourself, always use insect repellent when outdoors, wear protective clothing, and avoid being outdoors during peak mosquito hours of dawn and dusk.
1st Case of Locally Acquired Chikungunya Virus Reported in U.S.
HealthDay news article on MedicineNet
"The first case of locally acquired chikungunya virus, which is transmitted by the bite of a mosquito, has been reported in the United States, federal health officials said Thursday. The case involved an unidentified man from Florida. Until now, all previously reported infections..." Read full article on MedicineNet
The housefly is a nuisance pest that can spread diseases such as food poisoning and dysentery. They are gray-colored and about 1/4-inch long. They are attracted to trash, manure, carrion, and moist areas, and can spread bacteria from those areas to parts of your home. Proper sanitation is essential to manage houseflies. Keep trash and food in sealed containers.
Cockroaches can be found all over the world. They not only carry diseases such as salmonella, they can cause allergic reactions. Symptoms of allergy to cockroaches can include itchy skin, scratchy throat, itchy eyes and nose, and even asthma. Prevent cockroach infestation and manage allergic reactions by keeping your home clean and in good repair, and keeping trash covered. Use pest control if needed.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
The City Council this morning voted on tentative changes to the Mayor Chris Beutler's proposed City budget for fiscal year 2009-2010. Mayor Beutler said he was gratified that Council members agreed with him on most of the important issues facing the City.
"The Council recognized the importance of parks, pools and libraries to Lincoln's quality of life and were willing to support the revenues that saved those programs," Beutler said. "We took a giant step forward on speeding job creation projects with the favorable vote on initial funding for the Development Services Center. The Council also understood the necessity of a cash reserve or 'rainy day' fund to maintain City services during economic downturns.
"I am disappointed in the removal of money from the Fast Forward Fund," he said. "There was a great deal of discussion on the need to support job growth and economic development, and this is a fund to do exactly that.
"Overall, I look forward to continuing the budget discussion with the Council and the public as we move forward."
A summary of the Mayor's proposed budget and the City Council changes will be published in the August 1st issue of the Neighborhood Extra. The information also will be available on the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov.
The public hearing on the proposed budget is Monday August 10 from 2:30 to 6 p.m. and 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. The Council votes on final changes at 9 a.m. Wednesday, August 12 and is scheduled to adopt the budget Monday, August 24. All those meetings are in the City Council Chambers, 555 S. 10th St.

How to Start Talking About Nonprofit Mergers
This guest post is by Jean Butzen, president & founder of Mission + Strategy Consulting.
After a decade of facilitating nonprofit mergers, I am certain that the most common question I receive from my clients is not "What is the legal definition of a merger?", or "What are the steps to a merger?" (both very good questions). Rather, it's "How do I begin a conversation with a prospective merger partner?"
It can be very awkward to call up a colleague who you have known for years and suddenly ask, "Would you like to merge?" How does one even begin a conversation on merging? Despite the seriousness of the question, I tell my clients that they should think of it as simple as calling someone up to have a cup of coffee. Relax, and follow these steps:
1. Have this conversation with a trusted colleague.
It's best to merge with an organization that you have a history of partnering with on more than one occasion, so you each know other's organization's culture, philosophy, and management team well. If you don't know the CEO at all, then stop and do your due diligence on the organization first to be sure there is an alignment.
2. Prepare for the phone call.
Relax and think of how this as opportunity – for you both. Think about the history you have shared together, the ways you are aligned, the commonalities you share. Think about the reasons why it is time to move beyond a simple partnership and to consider a "deeper relationship." Write down some of these points.
3. Call the person and ask them to have coffee with you.
After you've had your introductory chit-chat, get down to business. Here's one possible script:
"I have been very impressed with how strong your organization is in these areas (name the specific skill sets) and how much we have benefited from our partnership with you. (Here, briefly review the history of the two organizations over the years and the various partnerships or collaborations you have had together.) I'd like to talk to you about ways that we might deepen the relationship between our two organizations and go further. Would you be interested in having coffee with me to explore ways that we might expand the impact we are having together?"
If the person asks for more information on the phone, tell them you'd rather do this in person when you meet for coffee.
4. Move the Conversation Beyond the Normal.
When you meet for coffee, thank the person for agreeing to meet to discuss deepening the relationship between the two organizations. Tell the other person how much you have admired their work and the work of their organization over the years. That is why you decided to have this conversation. Deepening the relationship could look a lot of different ways, including a merger.
Ask the person:
"Have you ever thought of merging your organization with another nonprofit before? (Give the person an opportunity to respond and see what they have to say and respond accordingly.) Yes, I am thinking of a merger strategy for my organization, but only with the RIGHT organization. I have heard about other organizations successfully merging, and frankly, I find it intriguing."
Discuss the possible barriers or benefits to a merger of your two organizations such as the name of the reaction of each board of directors, the potential impact on your constituencies, the shared efficiencies, as well as any possible downsides. Before parting, summarize the conversation and decide on your next steps.
5. Listen.
Listen to how the other person reacts: is he or she responding positively to the concept? If so, ask why a merger is so clear to them. If the person is opposed to a merger but might be open to an administrative partnership, then that might be worth exploring, too. You both want to move slowly before locking yourselves into one strategy or another.
After talking to the person, you may decide this isn't a good idea after all, so don't tie your hands too quickly. Asking someone to discuss a merger is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courage and creativity. And it shouldn't be any harder than asking someone to have a cup of coffee!

Jean is a noted expert on nonprofit mergers, and leads the firm's nonprofit strategic restructuring practice: mergers, partnerships and strategic collaborations.

Irene first came to my notice when I was using Google to find out who had done presentations on Google for Genealogists. I found a presentation from Irene and was impressed so decided that I should find out more about this lady.
With a history that includes a person with 18 wives and a shark attack (plus Australian connections) Irene certainly has a great story to tell. Thank you for your compelling profile, Irene.
Date April 5, 2011
Name Irene Winterburn (JireneGen)
Hometown Yuma, Arizona (living in Phoenix, Arizona)
Are you a Hobbyist or Professional Genealogist? In-between; more of a Genealogy Detective
What, if any, formal or informal studies have you undertaken that are relevant to genealogical research?
My Bachelor's degree is in Paralegal Studies, so I have always been a "dirt digger" by trade. My education and training has definitely helped advance my genealogy research. I'm also a big believer in education, so I really enjoy taking genealogy classes, attending seminars and conferences. Hopefully someday I'll work on getting that accreditation, but for now I'm happy being a "Genealogy Detective."
What is your day job? Trial Consultant, Paralegal Supervisor, as well as a Litigation Support Paralegal
How long have you been chasing ancestors? Since 1989I come from a genealogy-loving family, so I've been 'hooked" on genealogy since my youth.
How did you get hooked on genealogy? I loved hearing the stories of my ancestors, and it has been fun finding more facts about them. I am grateful for the work my Mom and her family did researching our family, and for instilling in me why family is important.
What are your areas of Expertise in Genealogy? Mostly England research, thanks to my British hubby. Most of my ancestors have been in America for many generations, so it has been fun researching his English heritage. I have also been verifying and sourcing my own family lines. We do have one line that comes through Australia (via Wales), so I love my Aussie ancesty!
Please outline your involvement in Genealogy Societies and Groups I've been volunteering as a Family History Consultant for over 6 years at the Phoenix Family History Library (fka Ashland Family History Library). Since July of 2010, I am the Editor of the "News Leaf," a monthly newsletter of the Phoenix Family History Library. And, just last month I was asked to be the Phoenix Stake Indexing Director, so my plate is full. Now, if only I can find more hours in the day.....
What are the lands of your ancestors? "Me and my peeps" hail from Arizona - in fact - 5 generations. I'm from good ol' pioneer stock via Utah, Georgia, Arkansas, Connecticut, Massachusetts and other various New England states. Across the pond: England, Ireland and Wales, as well as Denmark and Australia. A couple of our lines connect to royalty, which is also fun to discover.
What Family Names are you Researching? Morris, Ellsworth, Butler, Adams, Hancock, Gordge, Lee, Blackhurst, McCleve, McFerren, Halladay, Dewitt, Thetford, Lind and Neilsen. My hubby's side: Winterburn, Gash, Few, Duffett, Etches, Eastgate, Oxley, Singleton, Hallam, Swinton, Miles, Miller, Clarke, Tyler, Bullen and Tharby. (There are others, but there is only so much room here!)
Who is your favourite ancestor? Why? The Gordges of Adelaide, Australia. Anne Gordge came to America with her Mom and brother, and at age 18 married 36 yr polygamist John D. Lee, becoming his 18th (and last) wife. She had three kids, but took youngest child and left Lee, leaving my great-grandmother and her brother to be raised by another wife. Her history after leaving Lee has always been a mystery, and one "biography" by a non-family member is highly suspect as it was written when she was in an insane asylum/rest home. Her father Samuel Gordge is also a mystery, but we have found some new facts discrediting the family story of his "drowning on Christmas day" story (he actually looted his ship and was later found dead on the shores of Australia with a fatal shark bite.)
What ancestral city or town would you like to visit? Adelaide Australia, any parts of Wales and Ireland, and still yet-to-be discovered parts of England. Oh, and even my beloved United States. Too bad I have to work for a living, otherwise, I'd be traveling the earth following my ancestors' footsteps.
What is your favourite resource for genealogy? Mostly the big sites like FamilySearch, Ancestry, and FindMyPast, etc. I also love the links at these sites: BPB Publications (great links to US public records), ProGenealogists and Price & Associates. Oh, and Google!
Do you keep your genealogy files on paper? Yes
Do you keep your genealogy files on a computer? Yes
What genealogy software do you use to record your family tree? Mostly RootsMagic, but I also like to keep online trees at GenesReunitedUK and Ancestry.com.
Do you have your tree posted on the internet? Yes
If Yes What is the URL? My Jirene's Genealogy Treasures takes you to my trees: http://jirenetreasures.blogspot.com/
What Social Networking Sites do you use for genealogy?
Ancestry, Facebook, Genes Reunited, LinkedIn, Twitter
Do you have a blog? Yes
What are your blogs' URLs? Jirene's Genealogy Tips (http://www.jirenegen.com), and Jirene's Genealogy Treasures (http://jirenetreasures.blogspot.com/)
What are your Other Hobbies, Activities, Interests? Who has time, especially when your a genealogist?! I am a techno geek as well, but also dabble in watercolors. My activities usually involve the things that interest me most: genealogy, computing, law and art. I do love to travel with my hubby, though. (Now to find a way to make the work week 2 days, and the weekends 5 days!)
What is your favourite lesiure time activity apart from genealogy? Seeing the joy in my dogs when I (finally!) take them to the doggy park! Simple but fun.
What is your favourite (non genealogy) book? Lots of books, but my recent favorite is "The Help."
What is your personal philosophy in a few words ? I Yam What I Yam. (Don't take yourself too seriously.)
If you have anything else to share please add it below. I am loving all of the genealogy records being added to the internet. Bring it on!

Product Description
Operation Of Vegetable Oil Centrifuge
When oil presses operating prepared material enters extruding chamber from the hopper and then moves forwards by the rotating pressing screw and that is pressed. Under the high-pressure condition in the chamber, friction between material and screw, between material and chamber will be created, which also creats friction and relative movement amoong material particles. On the other hand, root diameter of the pressing screw carries larger from one end to the other, hence. When rotating, it not only pushes particles moving forwards but turns the moutwards as well, meanwhile, particles adjacent the screw will rotation along with screw rotating, causing every particle inside the chamber to possess different speed. Therefore, relative movement among particle creats heat which is necessary during manufacturing because of helping protein change property, damage colloid, increase plasticity, decrease oil's elastic resulting hing oil productivity.

Preatment Process Of Vegetable Oil Centrifuge
1. Cleaning
First ,the seeds need to be removed because they absorb oil and give a lower yield. This dehulling is done by cracking the seeds and a mechanical separation of the hulls and cracked peanuts.Using the de-stoner, vibrate sieve and other cleaning equipment to clean the stone,dust and other impurity,in order to get the high quality cake and oil and reduce the wastage of the machine.
Using the softener to adjust the materialâs temperature and moisture,making the temperature reach 70-75 centigrade,in order to get oil easily.
3. Flaking
Using the flaking mill to make the material into flake,increasing the surface area of exit oil.The thickness should be 0.3-0.35mm, it maybe broken easily if it is too thin.
Evaporating the water, to control the moisture at 2%-5% or 3%-5%.5.Pressing
Though the pressing machine make the oil separate from the cake.Pretreatment Features Of Vegetable Oil Centrifuge
1 Different combinations of process can process various oil plants in one workshop.
2 Use special intensified pretreatment technology for seed oil to make it more aroma.
3 Adopt advanced and reliable shelling technology to meet higher requirement for protein content in meal.
4 Extrusion treatment is used for raw material with hard extraction, large size powder and large capacity,which can reduce residual oil and solvent consumption,and increase the capacity by 50-80percent.
5 The new technology of shelling and low-temperature treatment can ensure high protein and least denaturatio.Product Overviews

I have received a lot of comments on an article I wrote a few weeks ago about how glad I am that some choose to farm. In this article I'm including some rather lengthy quotes from one response.
"I am the proud wife of a farmer for nineteen and a half years. I will be the first to admit that I didn't have a clue about everything involved in farming until I became a farmer's wife.
"I am amazed by the number of people who I believe are happy to see farmers fail. A lot of people seem to think that all farmers do is drive around in their trucks and try to get money from the government.
"I would like to see these people follow my husband around for just one day. I would dare to say that they would change their minds quickly. Everyday is a gamble. Whether it is grain prices, weather, equipment breakdowns, disease, or any number of complications, they have to take every day as it comes and keep going.
"My husband is fortunate enough to be a third generation farmer. He has worked along with his father and grandfather since he was a teenager, and there is nothing he would rather do. He provides a good living for our family and we are very proud of his hard work and dedication.
"He works long, hard hours and sometimes the mental anguish is unbearable, but he has a great attitude and makes the best of every situation. It breaks my heart every time I hear of a farmer having to quit, because I know it would devastate my husband to have to quit."
She took a lot of the thoughts I attempted to convey and said them much more effectively — simply because she is there.
While some of the articles I write in the winter are not about weed science, they are fun and most farmers do not want to think about weeds and herbicides right now anyway.
Getting back to weed issues, there will be a significant increase in wheat acreage this year. I am receiving a few weed control questions. One is whether or not a burn-down herbicide is needed when wheat is planted no-till.
There is often the misconception that a killing frost will solve all of the existing vegetation problems. Wheat is a winter crop and the weed problems are winter weeds. I always recommend a burn-down herbicide in no-till wheat.
The weed complex will often include ryegrass. Quite often a nice flush of ryegrass will be emerged at planting time. If you kill this flush, and plant into the undisturbed seedbed, you often have a big jump on the ryegrass problem.
You do not want to skimp on glyphosate rates with ryegrass. I always recommend a minimum of 3 pints of the 4 pound-per-gallon glyphosate or equivalent. When in doubt, I will increase that a pint.
In addition to ryegrass, a lot of what I term the winter junk weeds that are usually non-competitive in conventionally planted wheat can be very competitive in no-till wheat. That is because they are often emerged at planting and get the jump on the crop.
Unless the field is just "squeaky clean," use a burn-down herbicide. That will assure you the crop will get an even start and later emerging problems will be much easier to deal with.
The must-kill weed in wheat is ryegrass and it has to be controlled while small. For non-resistant ryegrass, Hoelon, Osprey and Axial, a new herbicide, can all be effective.
Controlling resistant ryegrass is much more difficult. Your county agent should have some good information that Bob Scott, University of Arkansas weed scientist, has put together comparing herbicides for ryegrass control. I will also include some of his information in future articles.

Halle1 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 80 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Hudson Self Storage
We are a family real estate company who recently purchased a self storage facility. We're excited about giving the property a makeover and re-creating a buzz in the community. Our property improvement plan includes creating a new brand for the current name and replacing the 4 ft x 6 ft property signage at the front gate. Additionally, a second floor facade with signage on the storefront exterior will add to visibility and presence. We like to project a professional, sophisticated, but comfortable, not overdone image.
Hudson Self Storage is located in Stockbridge, GA . Many of our customers come from "drive-by" inquiries or online, both customers have a first impression of our logo. We are in the process of updating the Hudson Self Storage "image," including a face-lift to the property as well as its marketing campaign. We are looking for a nice clean logo that will stand out and give the feeling of stability, security, professionalism, and while communicating what the product is. The customers are both individuals and businesses.
Our aim is to have a logo created that is simple, yet eyecatching. The color attached to this brief is the shade of green that we would like to use. Some things to consider when designing the logo:
- Logo needs to be versatile. It is going to be used on a 4 ft. x 6 ft. sign on a 20 ft. tall pole on a busy road, advertising and promotional items such as print brochures, magnets, mailers, shirts, etc.
- Once a logo hast been chosen from the contest, we would like to have up to three rounds of revisions.
- When the logo is complete, we would expect to have all of the source (Illustrator, etc.) files that have been created pertaining to the logo.

A vibrant swath of yellow amid the brownstones of Crown Heights, the Brooklyn Children's Museum re-opened on September 20 after its completed expansion. Designed by Rafael Vinoly Architects, the expansion will be New York City's first LEED-certified museum in addition to being the first structure to tap geothermal wells as a means to heat and cool its grounds. The museum's new exterior -composed of 8.1 million canary yellow tiles- is a playful voluminous canopy that rests above the pre-existing buildings. Subtly glistening, its vibrant color engages and beckons viewers to come explore its earth -and kid- friendly grounds. Read on for all the details, and be sure to check out Inhabitots for an inside tour!
Rafael Vinoly Architects' expansion has doubled the museum's original size to comprise more than 100,000 square feet, making room for a new lobby, administrative offices, and classrooms. With an eye for environmental sensitivity, the architects chose to feature rapidly renewable and recyclable materials, such as bamboo and recycled rubber flooring, whenever possible. Part of the building's electricity is generated from a system of photovoltaic panels, and the building is equipped with energy-saving sensors that control interior lighting and ventilation.
The architecture firm also sought to integrate a host of features that would accommodate and engage children. Dual handrails can be found throughout the building to accommodate the varied heights of adults and children, and the yellow structure is punctured with portholes at various heights that allow kids, old and young, to peek out.
The re-opening of the museum featured a host of new exhibits including a play area as colorful as the building's exterior designed by May & Watkins and a temporary exhibition called "Living in Space" that mimics an astronaut's experience in outer space. The museum also features permanent exhibits that celebrate its environs, including "World Brooklyn", an exhibit that showcases the borough's diversity, and "Neighborhood Nature" which gives children a taste of the natural habitats that exist in Brooklyn. With imaginative new spaces, green details and a playful new facade, the BCM offers an inspiring and engaging experience for its youthful visitors.

K icks and the punches were flying over the weekend in Colorado Springs at the U.S. Olympic Complex where the 38th National Collegiate Taekwondo Championships were held on Sunday.
The Buffs, represented by 15 members of the University of Colorado-Boulder's Taekwondo Club, brought home five medals in various sparring (fighting) divisions, but fell short in poomsae, the competitive display of traditional taekwondo forms.
However, it was the club's camaraderie that stood out among the 69 national teams competing.
Tim Ghormley, vice president of the National Collegiate Taekwondo Association (NCTA) and head coach of Stanford Taekwondo said he noticed the team's unity in his encounters with the Buffs at past tournaments.
"They're a tight bunch," said Ghormley, "and I think they have really good coaches who ... create an environment that helps the members achieve their best and at the same time get closer through the process."
Nicole Anderson, a CU team member and fundraising officer, said she agrees with Ghormley, calling her teammates "family."
"I don't think I would fight if I didn't have this team," said Anderson, adding that she didn't think she performed as well as she had hoped. "No matter what, these people are the most supportive people I know and they are proud of you for just going out there and trying."
The coaching, lead by 7th degree black belt Master Andre DeOliveira, has been key in helping the team become national-level contenders, said team member Rodney Hooks.
Hooks was diagnosed with sickle-cell disease at birth, but said he never worried about the ailment until he experienced blood-clotting symptoms during his first sparring match in a tournament last year. Hooks said it was the team that helped him to push through and be able to compete at a higher level.
"I remember the first time I fought. I was winning and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe," said Hooks. "I didn't know what was going on. I wanted to quit taekwondo... it was that bad."
But Hooks said coach DeOliveira and teammate David Lee encouraged him to "fight smart, don't fight crazy" and taught him how to properly kick.
At the championships over the weekend, Hooks won two of three matches, garnering a bronze medal.
"I think I pretty much did the best I've ever done," Hooks said, laughing, "considering last year I didn't win at all."
According to Anderson, one of the five principals of taekwondo is one must have an indomitable spirit and never give up.
"When someone loses, clearly the whole team is there for them and we console them and we make sure they know we will work on it and get better," said Anderson. "I'm not going to stop. I'm going to do it as long as my body will let me."
Ghormley said he hopes the team continues to enter tournaments with their positive energy.
"CU could be a real benefit to the rest of the national collegiate association as they grow and become more active," Ghormley said. "It can only benefit the overall organization."

The Simpson's Bovine University or PETA Propaganda… who do you trust?
8 comments:
I love your blog and I'm a devout omnivore myself but I wish you had either answered the issue more clearly or just decline to comment rather than brushing it off with the Simpson's video.

this blog's purpose is purely entertainment. I have no answers on the "issue." Whatever the issue is (is it ok to eat meat?) I deal with no real ethical, political, or social issues here. Everyone is right. Eat what you enjoy, and let your conscience be your guide. The clip was posted because it's funny, and for no other reason.
- May 19, 2007 at 4:27 PM
You can always count on the Simpsons for some "delicious" parody... well done! (pun intended)
- May 19, 2007 at 4:36 PM
The answer to the "issue" is one's personal taste and their politics, and it becomes especially "personal" in a business setting.
So...what would you expect Chef John should say to 'answer' the issue? Do you think he cooks meat, but doesn't eat it? I think that is his "taste," and he doesn't seem too political, although I wouldn't mind seeing a menu with a dessert called Im Peach Mint.
I think his stance is self-defense and, naturally he doesn't promote wasting food, so he cooks meats and eats them. Recall, he lives in a crowded city in the USA and it's a dog eat dog world...Gee, better always always check his ingredients closely!

how did they end up even getting a hold of the clip? I mean, you are just one chef with a blog.(A very good one but I digress) I would imagine most chefs post videos of them cooking meat? What was so special about that one?
My guess is its not even about that chicken. They don't approve of the biscuit cooking technique.
- May 19, 2007 at 7:27 PM
Damn those biscuit makers!
Do you have any idea what it feels like to be stoned (crushing the wheat berries), and then made into flour? And corn, well that's another sad ingredient subject.
Plants have feelings, too.They love music and need light, air, and water. Gosh, they're practically alive - oh, wait, they are. PETA, how can support eating veggies?
- May 19, 2007 at 7:56 PM

not sure what you meant by "how did they end up even getting a hold of the clip?" someone that watches this blog sent me the chicken photo from PETA (as a joke I'm sure)

September 17, 2012 — The Virginia Board of Health on Friday voted 13-2 to reverse a previous decision that exempted existing facilities from a state requirement that abortion clinics meet the same building standards as new hospitals, Reuters reports (Kebede, Reuters, 9/14).
The board in June voted 7-4 in favor of the exemption for the 20 clinics already in operation in Virginia (Nolan, Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/15). Opponents of the requirements -- part of several regulations being implemented under a new state law -- argued that the new standards could force the existing clinics to close.
In July, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) said the health board's vote was unlawful and refused to certify the regulations (Women's Health Policy Report, 9/10). Cuccinelli said the board had to include the building standards for existing facilities because they were mandated by the new state law.
Last week, he followed up with a letter to the board advising members against grandfathering existing abortion clinics. The letter also warned members that they would be personally responsible for legal fees if a lawsuit arises and they are named in it (Vozzella, Washington Post, 9/14).
Next Steps
The newly approved regulations will be sent to Cuccinelli's office for review. If certified, they will go to Gov. Bob McDonnell (R), who must approve the rules before authorizing a 60-day comment period. The board is expected to make a final vote on the permanent rules next year.
Brian Gottstein, director of communications for the attorney general, said Cuccinelli's decision on whether to approve the regulations "will be determined solely on a legal basis -- as was the decision on the prior version of the regulations -- not on the basis of whether or not we agree with the policy" (Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/15).
Virginia Health Commissioner Karen Remley said that all of the state's abortion clinics have already been inspected for compliance and none indicated that they intend to close. Eleven were licensed after submitting renovation plans, while corrective action plans for others are pending, she added. Clinics have two years to meet the new requirements, according to the AP/Washington Post (O'Dell, AP/Washington Post, 9/14).
Clinics may appeal to the state health commissioner for a variance from the requirements. The clinics must then prove that they face a unique hardship and that the requested changes would not negatively affect patient safety.
Hundreds of advocates on both sides turned out for Friday's board meeting. Supporters of the regulations said they would protect women's safety, while opponents argued that they single out abortion providers with new construction requirements that do not exist for similar medical facilities.
Tarina Keene, chair of the Coalition to Protect Women's Health, said the board gave in to political pressure, went against its medical expertise, and abandoned its responsibility to protect the health and safety of Virginia women. Ten of the 15 board members were appointed by McDonnell, who, like Cuccinelli, opposes abortion rights (Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/15).
Board Chair Bruce Edwards denied that the board's decision was influenced by politics. "We work through all of these issues in a systematic way, a methodical way, and come out with what we feel is the best for these patients," he said (Sherfinski, Washington Times, 9/16).
However, James Edmondson -- one of two board members to vote against the stricter requirements -- said board members may have felt pressured by Cuccinelli's letter (Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/15). He also said the General Assembly gave the board mixed messages. "On one hand they say be a regulatory body -- you are independent," he said, adding, "One the other hand, 'Do as we say'" (AP/Washington Post, 9/14).
In a statement, ACLU of Virginia said the regulations "will make abortions more expensive and more difficult to obtain particularly if some clinics are forced to close." It will be difficult or impossible for all of the clinics to make the costly renovations required to meet the new building standards, abortion-rights supporters said (Richmond Times-Dispatch, 9/15).

Recognition and Revelation — Editorial
Revelation, a word that means to unveil, to open up to view that which had been secret or hidden, is the objective of the coming Approach.Surely the recognition of God immanent is a central aspect of revelation.
The Great Approaches (The Coming New Religion), Part II — Djwhal Khul
Only that is of importance to us which provides a needed momentum for action, and which will also give to the working disciple of the world a vision of sufficient clarity and an adequate incentive to enable him to work with sincerity and understanding.
Synthesis: The Touch of Shamballa — Sarah McKechnie
For those who have the eyes to see, the Buddha returns years after year, bringing the "touch of Shamballa" which the Christ receives on behalf of all humanity, holding it in custody, so to speak, until releasing it into the world at the next full moon, the Festival of Goodwill.
The Force of Liberation, Part I — Christine Morgan
The senses are meant to inform, not to possess, and only by disentangling ourselves from them and internalising our line of enquiry, can we hope to gain any real understanding of the nature of death.We have to awaken to the inner, esoteric senses and follow their lead in order to touch the internal core of our being that stands unmoved and serene throughout the long cycles of life, death and rebirth.Then can we know first-hand the beautiful secret that death veils, which is entrance into greater life.
The Great Invocation: An Agent for the Ending of Separateness — Dominic Dibble
Separateness, or separativeness, is something that is primarily a mental phenomenon.Now, language, on the face of it, is also largely mental in origin.So how can something that is made out of words, like the Great Invocation, help us end our separateness?
The Nature of Detachment for the Disciple — A Student
Detachment is often portrayed as a non-response in the face of unpleasant events and the renunciation of certain desires.However, this is only the first step in detachment.There is, in fact, an escalating sequence of detachments that must be accomplished for the disciple to eventually truly serve.
Working with Light — Michal J. Eastcott
By lighted thought, directed by the power of dedication, [disciples] can supply sublimated substance needed by the Hierarchy in its efforts to bring increased light content to the planet.
Manifested Intuition: Need for Sincerity, Sacrifice and Simplicity — A Student
In the end, the only way to discern and achieve these ideals is to become totally open to direct action through being led by the heart that is linked with higher intuition.
Gustav Mahler: A Forerunner — Russell Heblack
Here lies the vast appeal of Mahler's symphonies and the truth of this composer's forerunner status:his profoundly beautiful resolution of existential human conflict to harmony via the universal language of music.
