The exhibition schedule begins this week and with it the questions of the importance of winning these games. Pennants aren't won in March, but sometimes the mentality needed to win can be developed.
While going 20-10 during spring training guarantees nothing, I can't help but think going 10-20 isn't a good thing. The Mets need to develop the attitude that playing well is important and they just can't assume things will be better.
The Mets are a team with flaws, but also a team that played reckless with the fundamentals and more than a few times mailed in their effort. Playing aggressive and crisp baseball now is important because bad habits can develop by playing otherwise.
It is a long summer, but considering last season and how the two previous years ended I believe it is imperative to get off to a good start and get into good habits right away. The Mets' psyche is delicate after the last three seasons, and despite the bold talk from David Wright and Johan Santana about the World Series and winning, this is a team that hasn't always played with confidence.
The Mets need to develop a positive mentality and that begins with these games.

A Chicago police sergeant shot and wounded a gunman involved in a shootout in the South Side's Fernwood neighborhood, authorities said.
The sergeant was responding to a domestic disturbance call in the 10000 block of South State Street around 8:30 p.m. Sunday when he saw two people shooting toward each other, according to a preliminary statement from the Chicago Police Department.
One of the shooters turned toward the sergeant and the sergeant told the gunman to drop his gun, according to the statement. The gunman didn't and and the sergeant fired, striking him in the foot, police said.
The gunman, whose age was not released, was taken to Roseland Community Hospital and was expected to survive, officials said.
A squad car responding to the scene was involved in an accident at 100th and South State streets, police and fire officials said.
Three officers were taken in good condition to Little Company of Mary Hospital, according to the Chicago Fire Department's media office. The officers were all treated and released, police said.

School Supplies: Pencil case, Calculator, Twitter...
That's because we're requiring all incoming 9th graders to have a Twitter account.
We run an annual one day Tech Camp for all incoming students and this year we'll be demonstrating the many ways students can use Twitter in their educations. From following current events to backchanneling lectures and labs to connecting with experts to building community lifelines and collaborating with their peers in sharing hashtags of links, apps, observations, and ideas -- students will be getting a crash course in the utility of the social web.
Right now, our tech committee is planning this year's camp. Among things to discuss are the nuts-and-bolts of computing in a 1:1 environment, digital citizenship and social media, and using the resources of Web 2.0 to connect with the world of education beyond the classroom walls.
We'd love to hear your ideas on what should be addressed at a high school tech camp!

The Tech camp sounds Awesome, just from a logistics point of view what number of students does it involve? I am currently rolling out a 1:1 program this year getting the staff up to speed. I have a supportive administration and have 1 class a week with the yr 7's in a lab. Just had them all sign up to a google docs account to complete a shared assignment. Next we are creating a wiki that will be used by next yr's year 7's as an into to the school.ReplyDelete
Nice! Would be great if you could broadcast a hashtag for the tech day so those interested could follow along. Could use your success to persuade other schools to incorporate the same. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Freshman class is around 160 students.
That's a great idea. Will do.
- Shelly
What do you believe a twitter account will accomplish for these students? In my opinion at that age students are already sending twitter-like messages via Facebook such as, "going to see a movie" and I see this as more of a distraction and a method of socializing than a way to facilitate learning.ReplyDelete
Thanks for asking. My students and I use Twitter in my classes daily. We use it for quick communication, sharing links, creating hashtagged reference libraries of links, class discussion backchannels, as a lifeline on tests, and to crowdsource and get real-time information from beyond our classroom walls.
Our intention is to open up this sort of understanding throughout our incoming class and to make use of Twitter and other Web 2.0 collaborative tools for engaging students in ways that are authentic in a 1:1 computing environment in 2010. Also to use the real-life use of Twitter and the presence of a real-time digital persona to teach digital citizenship.
I have several examples of the work my HS students and I have done using Twitter over the last two years, and would be happy to repost them. Check "Favorite Posts" and "21C Classroom Ideas" in the sidebar for more (and they probably deserve an update...).
Wow this is really cool. I hooe we also have this in our school. HahahaReplyDelete

Aaron Hall needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 124 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
Logo should be professional, sophisticated, stylish, and warm.
Twin Cities Law Firm
The logo's design, colors, and fonts should be professional, clean, bold, and sophisticated. The logo should be contemporary (stylish) but not futuristic. It should portray leadership and strength to opponents without being cold or intimidating to potential clients.
The logo should appeal to a cross section of people, from sophisticated business clients to unsophisticated criminal-defense clients off the street.
Possible colors to consider are:
-The colors in this logo: http://www.briggs.com/FCWSite/Img/logo.gif
-Deep teal (http://www.cabinbaby.com/media/300_…al_300.gif) and deep gray
Consider two versions in your designs:
1) for online use, and
2) for print (letterhead, business cards, envelopes)
If there is an image, a lake or sailboat might be a good.
Some logos I like:
File Format:
.ai, layered PSD (include any non-standard fonts used)
More about the firm can be found here:
- Text: "Twin Cities Law Firm" or "Twin Cities Law Firm, LLC"
- Colors that will be in style for 5-10 years (not 1990s colors)
- White background
- The words, not an image, should be the primary focus of the logo.
- Traditional "old firm" style: heavy, dark wood, marble, or Old English Fonts
- Informal style: Handwriting font, grunge styles, frills, cute
- Colors: Gold, Purple, Green, Maroon
- Traditional legal icons like a hammer or scale (too stuffy); flowers or traditionally female symbols
- Shapes: Oval or circle
- Initials for the business (i.e. "TCLF")
- Words other than "Twin Cities Law Firm" or "Twin Cities Law Firm, LLC"
- Gradients: gradient shades because they sometimes don't print well

Brock's Chansey is Brock's 10th Pokémon which he received as an egg in the episode All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go!. In the episode One Big Happiny Family!, the egg hatched revealing the Pokémon to be a Happiny. As a Happiny, it possessed enormous strength, using that strength to throw Brock into the air when it hatched. Later in the series, Happiny lifted an enormous boulder with one hand and also lifted Ash's Grotle and carried it around Canalave City when it got tired.
While on the boat to Twinleaf Town, Brock's Happiny evolved into Chansey while trying help a Pichu. It is currently unknown if Chansey has kept the strength it had as a Happiny but it knows the move Softboiled which it used to heal the Pokémon on the boat.

For the wild strawberry sorbet: In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine 2 pints of the strawberries, 1 cup sugar, orange juice and water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. In a blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Stir in the Grand Marnier. Chill the mixture completely. Pour the strawberry mixture into an ice cream machine and follow the manufacturer's directions for the churning time.
For the cream Anglaise: In another saucepan, over medium heat, combine the half-half, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla bean and pulp. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the hot cream mixture to the egg yolks. Whisk well. Add the yolk mixture to the hot cream mixture. Whisk well. Continue to cook for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely. To serve, spoon the cream Anglaise in the center of each serving bowl. Place a couple scoops of the Sorbet in the center of the sauce. Garnish with the remaining pint of strawberries.

Team Wuppertal brought an intimate but expansive vision to the Solar Decathlon Europe this year. Their sun-powered house is flanked by solar walls, capped by a solar roof, and provides multiple spaces to enjoy a sunny day. They pulled out some nice design tricks to make the space work like a much larger home, and included an advanced HVAC system to maintain a comfortable climate — factors which have launched this home into the top ranks of the competition. Read on as our exclusive coverage continues!
The Wuppertal House's HVAC is a real engineering feat – a micro heat pump can push heat into or out of the house, and it is assisted by an evaporative cooler for hot days and evacuated solar thermal tubes for cold days. The main heating and cooling is connected to under-floor radiant tubes. The system is powered by custom PV panels set into the roof and privacy walls, which generate 6.4 kWhrs at peak production.
To maximize performance, phase change materials were incorporated into the upper walls and a celstory window helps cool the home at night and brighten it by day. The roof deck and ground deck provide extensive protected outdoor spaces to relax in the Madrid sun, and when things really heat up an exterior solar thermal curtain wraps the house up. The interior is full of clever storage spaces and built-in furniture that can easily stow away. 40 students from Bergische University, Wuppertal, Germany collaborated in the project.

My earlier post about Trevor Loudon's talk pivoted on the fact that communists are bad and that Democrats are communists. What I didn't know is that maverick talk show host Howard Stern said much the same recently. This poster is a slightly abbreviated version of what he said, but it's 100% accurate in all important respects:
Here's Stern's whole statement, which he made at the end of February 2014.

When Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns to the Bay Area to face San Francisco on Saturday night, it will be a homecoming for him — with a twist.
His beloved 49ers passed on him with the first pick in the 2005 draft, selecting Alex Smith instead. Rodgers, who was a candidate for that prime draft slot, tumbled to 24th, where the Packers selected him.
Rodgers certainly isn't grousing about that now, having won a Super Bowl and a most-valuable-player award with Green Bay, yet he certainly has to love the opportunity he has this weekend. He's returning to Candlestick Park with a chance to knock off what used to be his favorite team. As a kid, he wore a Joe Montana T-shirt under his pads, and he grew up emulating Steve Young.
"It will be fun," Rodgers said this week. "I went to a few baseball games there growing up and saw a game there when I was in college. It will be loud, it will be a great environment, and it should be a good show for the fans."

Survival Statistics for Bone Cancer
Survival rates are often used by doctors as a standard way of discussing a person's prognosis (outlook). Some people with cancer may want to know the survival statistics for people in similar situations, while others may not find the numbers helpful, or may even not want to know them.
The 5-year survival rate refers to the percentage of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is diagnosed. Of course, many people live much longer than 5 years (and many are cured).
Five-year relative survival rates assume that some people will die of other causes and compare the observed survival with that expected for people without the cancer. This is a better way to see the impact of the cancer on survival.
To get 5-year survival rates, doctors have to look at people who were treated at least 5 years ago. Improvements in treatment since then may result in a more favorable outlook for people diagnosed with bone cancer today.
Survival rates are often based on previous outcomes of large numbers of people who had the disease, but they cannot predict what will happen in any particular person's case. Many factors may affect a person's outlook, such as the type and grade of the cancer, the patient's age, where the cancer is located, the size of the tumor, and the treatment received. Your doctor can tell you how the numbers below may apply to you, as he or she is familiar with the aspects of your situation.
For all cases of bone cancer combined (in both adults and children), the 5-year relative survival is about 70%. For adults, the most common bone cancer is chondrosarcoma, which has a 5-year relative survival of about 80%. (Survival statistics for Ewing tumors and osteosarcoma can be found in our information about those cancers.)

Last Friday, 8th June, I had the opportunity to participate in a forum on Open Education in Ghana. The forum was part of Innovation Week 2012 organised by the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (AITI-KACE). The diverse audience included students, educators, software developers, entrepreneurs and people from government. Overall, the discussion was rich, informative and engaging making the event one of the best fora I've been in. Thumbs up to Dorothy Gordon and her team.
|A participant from Central African Republic sharing her joy at being at the forum
The programme started with a discussion on open education, its relevance and the experiences of the audience. A graduate of SOS College shared how he used the Internet to study thermodynamics, a challenging topic, for his IB examination. An interesting debate on whether the rise of technology signaled the redundancy of the human element in education came up. The consensus reached was that "school was mainly for networking and socialization", and so the human element is still crucial.
|How are Ghanaians using open education resources?
The team from AITI-KACE then presented open courseware platforms such as Khan Academy, MIT Open Courseware, BBC KS3 and Videolectures.net. These platforms serve educationsl content free of tight copyright restrictions. The issue of dearth of relevant local educational content was raised. Someone mentioned that Ashesi University have their course materials freely accessible by the public. I recall that Prof Dakubu and co were working on an online system called Kewl at University of Ghana around 2006/2007. I'm not up to date on the status of the project. Some strategies for building content, including training for both students and teachers were discussed.
Next was a panel discussion on Open Education resources featuring officials of the Ghana Education Service, Ministry of Education and AITI. Also on the panel was Anis Haffar, a thought leader in the Ghanaian Educationi space. Some of the key discussion points were on the need for government to step up its interventions to integrate ICT into education and the need for a conscious national effort to create open courseware for the pre-tertiary levels. It was revealed that government will soon roll out e-SHS to minimize the effects of some of the problems facing our educational system: lack of easily accessible textbooks, low number of quality teachers and inadequate science equipment. It was interesting to learn that the educational authorities will be reviewing the policy that restrains students from using various digital devices in schools, so as to ensure that the full benefits of open eduction are realized.
Speaking on the keynote "Education in the IT Age", Annis Haffar stressed on the merits of deploying ICT as part of an integrated strategy, rather than as a standalone tool. Hands-on activities, schemes of work and teaching methodologies, he said, were other tools that needed to be sharpened to improve the status quo. By showing images of schools that lacked teachers, electricity and books, he demonstrated that much was left to be done in terms of the basic ingredients needed to ensure quality education. Also, he was of the view that educational instruction must be tailored to affect both the affective and cognitive domains of students, stressing that one of the most important things teachers must do is to inspire their students to be able to learn by themselves rather than trying to teach them everything.
|Annis Haffar in action: teaching methodologies and planning must accompany technology to make any headway
Presentations of various innovations interspersed segments of the programme. Anita Hato, a fresh graduate of the University of Ghana, presented her undergraduate project, Kiddie World, an online system to help kindergarten children to build basic literacy and numeracy skills. Another presenter spoke about a software system he built that uses 2D barcodes to check the authenticity of drugs.
The forum on open education was a refreshing change from all the talk shops we are greeted with every now and then. The practical demonstrations of what is being done and what could be done was inspiring and challenging. What are your views on integrating open education into Ghanaian education? What should be done to ensure that it is done right? If you're a teacher, school administrator or just someone interested in contributing change to education in Ghana, join the Ghana Educators Network now.

Anyway, fourth grade. It's going pretty well so far, at least academically, but I think we've entered the age where we really need to start watching his friends and keeping on top of their activities and interactions. And while this all would likely be true regardless of the existence of Minecraft, it sure doesn't help.
For those of you blissfully unaware (meaning you know no kids between the ages of, oh, say 5 and 21), Minecraft is a video game, and to call it a generational obsession would be understating things somewhat, like calling Pol Pot a pretty mean guy. I agreed to get the game for Cal because it seemed innocent enough--basically an open-world action adventure game, building things with blocks, resource management, that sort of thing--and more to the point I didn't want him to be some sort of out-of-the-loop freak if every single other kid in his class was playing this game and he wasn't. I know, I know, if all your friends jumped off a bridge, etcetera etcetera, but since he's a year or two younger than his classmates we try to be particularly sensitive about allowing him the social tools to be one of the gang more easily. Because if we didn't let him play Minecraft? He'd be, like, THE ONLY ONE. And I just hate to think about him being the pop culture equivalent of the kid whose parents don't let him eat sugar, and brings, like, unsweetened carob cakes in for his birthday, you know?
So anyway, we let him play Minecraft (which he's only allowed to play on the weekends--we still have rules and standards up in here after all), he plays it, he loves it, everyone is happy. And every time I pick him up from school all he wants to talk about is MINECRAFT and everyone's special strategies in MINECRAFT did you hear about the newest thing in MINECRAFT? And William? Told me that there's a mod? That you can put Star Wars skins on your MINECRAFT server? And also one time? Thomas was building a house and two creepers snuck up on him but then he used his leather armor and threw a sheep at them and then he fell into a trap in the nether? And it was SO FUNNY!
(I'd like to think the game makes more sense than this but suspect that it doesn't.)
Except one day I walked by when he was playing Minecraft and I noticed that there was this scrolling chat box open at the bottom of the screen, with these other randos talking to each other while they were all playing. (I'm no video game enthusiast, but I think there are similar things in most video games that you play cooperatively with people online, games like "Call of Duty" and of that ilk). Those of you familiar with such games probably won't be surprised to hear this, but the back and forth taking place in this chat box? Awful. Terrible. Slurs! Swearing! INCORRECT SPELLING.
"Cal," I spluttered, "what is all this going on at the bottom of the screen?"
"Huh?" He looked down. "Oh, I didn't see that. I'm not really sure. I think that's other people that are playing on this server. It's my friend Archibald's* server, he invited me to join when we were sitting together at lunch last week."
"OK, but who are these other people? Do you know them? And why are they saying all these terrible things?" For lack of any other better solution, I just covered the chat box with my hand.
"Oh, I don't know. I guess they're Archibald's friends. Or other people that joined his server anyway. I haven't really been looking at it. What are they saying?"
"NOTHING. They're saying NOTHING. But can you turn this screen off? Hide it in some way? Or better yet, why do you have to play on someone's server at all? Can't you just play by yourself? Play by yourself and do something peaceful, like build a diamond...zombie...hut...or something?"
So anyway, Cal turned the chat function off, and then we had a talk about not playing with people online unless he really really knows them personally and he's preferably in the same room as them. I also said he was never allowed to have the chat function on again, ever, because: INAPPROPRIATE.
He's still young and relatively naive, so I know this is just the beginning. And while I'm obviously not going to be a super-paranoic about the use of the internet and social media (see: this page you're reading right now, and the existence thereof) I am a little apprehensive, despite the fact that we have a pretty tight lid on his screen time and computer habits and who he spends his time with outside of school. Because what's it going to be next year? Or the next? Or even forget the computer--what are he and his friends talking about in person at recess? In carpool line? At their sleepover parties?
(Yes, you're right--they're probably talking about Minecraft. Because Hayden? Said one time? He got a pile of gold? But then a zombie came and fell into this lava moat that he made around his house? And then someone hacked into his server and stole his diamond armor! It was epic!)
Cal is eight years old now, which is the age that most kids start to form stronger and stronger ties with people outside of their families. So I have to let him do that, but it's hard not to worry, because even though we know his friends and know their parents, that act of sending your child out there into the world can feel like feeding a lamb to the wolves. Because we can't always be there, and we can't always filter, and can't always catch the chat box before they see it and cover it with our hand. We just can't. That's what raising a child is: getting them ready so that they will be OK without you.
In my mind Cal is kind of a low-maintenence child, in that's he's old enough now to fend for himself and his personality is generally allergic to trouble-making. (He's actually kind of a people-pleaser to an almost unfortunate degree, in that even the hint that he's transgressed in some way makes him start to get teary and apologize--at school, anyway.) But nonetheless, I'm glad that I'm going to have a little more time to spend with him now, not just in spite of the fact that he's older and becoming more independent, but because of it.
* Not his real name, OBVIOUSLY. I actually have not ever met this kid before but I have encouraged Cal not to play on his server anymore because aside from the obvious reasons I detailed above, apparently he regularly stays up until midnight playing Minecraft on school nights and what parent lets their nine year-old kid do that?

Reduced to Clear - We Cannot Accept Part Exchange or Finance
Initially introduced as the PRS Signature Limited, the production run 408 model allows for 4-pickups, 8-tones, thanks to the combination of mini-toggle switches for independent coil tap and 3-way blade selector.
When we opened the case for this model, we knew we would have to take it in. Incredibly, this is a non-10 top model, and is an excellent opportunity to purchase an exceptionally figured top without paying the £500+ upcharge which comes with a 10-top.
PRS Guitars was founded by Paul Reed Smith in 1985, over 25 years later PRS is one of the leading and most respected guitar manufacturers in the world. Paul Reed Smith was inspired by the classic guitar designs of the 50's and 60's but, unlike many other manufactures, wanted to create a guitar that was his own design in every right. Today the classic double-cutaway PRS silhouette is as recognisable as some of the famous designs of the 50's which is a true testament to Paul Reed Smiths design and vision. We have been selling PRS Guitars since the late 1980's and have seen the company grow and develop but never forget their core values and dedication to quality and innovation. As PRS has grown they have maintained superior quality, something which they have become renowned for and have set the bar for other manufacturers. The PRS Custom 24 was one of Paul's first designs and is the guitar that he took to his first trade show and is the model that really put PRS on the map. Nearly 25 years later the Custom 24 is still one of the most popular PRS models available. Over it's long lifetime it has had many upgrades and changes to keep it at the forefront of the market. Paul Reed Smith is never complacent and is constantly trying new woods, components, construction methods and new technology. The Custom 24 is a different guitar to the model first introduced in the late 80's but the core values and vision is still the same - create the best electric guitar possible. Today the PRS Product lineup is one of the most impressive in the market, there is a guitar for any genre, style and budget. One of the newest additions to the PRS family is the PRS Studio model. This is a model based loosely around the now discontinued Custom 22 but features the unique Studio electronics and Pickups, a 57/08 Pickup in the bridge and two Narrowfield mini humbuckers in the middle and neck. This is another example of PRS pushing the boundaries and trying new things. At Sound Affects we love PRS Guitars and are very passionate about their fabulous instruments.
We Welcome Part Exchange
We welcome part exchanges on items over £500. We realise that sometimes you need to "move something on" to get your new guitar. We give fair prices and once agreed we stick to them. The only thing we ask is that you accurately describe your guitar. We have plenty of happy customers from our part exchange scheme.
How it works – If you are local, you can simply call in. If you are not local we will assess your guitar and give you a valuation via phone/e-mail (we may ask for pictures). Once the price is agreed, we always stick to it, and your new guitar will be removed from the market so the deal can be concluded.
You can either send us your guitar, or we can use our courier to pick up for a small charge (UK only). Once the guitar is with us and any balance is paid we can dispatch your new guitar.
Need to know more? Just e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call us on 01695-570023

I recently went to a fly-tying workshop at Bristol's Lawrence Memorial Library. Getting a lesson in tying flies from David Henderson and Bob Reynolds was not only highly enjoyable, it also reminded me of two important outdoor sporting lessons I learned when I was young.
The first was that outdoor sports can be expensive and dangerous. The second, and more important lesson, related to the first, had to do with which of my parents to go to for money and which to go to for permission.

Video: Anderson Cooper Apologizes For Being A Cher Fanatic
Nigel Campbell | July 3, 2013
Anderson Cooper played a starring role in this week's segment of "The Ridiculist" during CNN's Anderson 360. The Silver Fox went into full on STAN mode last week when he stopped by, supposedly unannounced, to visit Cher on the set of Watch What Happens Live.
Here he gives the rundown and apologizes for being an over the top Cher fanatic.
It's okay, Anderson! We've all been there when in the presence of our favorite divas.
Just look what happened to this Stan when he went to see Beyonce this week:

I have been busy sorting through another batch of information which was sent to me in the post by David Cruse. His latest collection relates mostly to the various London Cruse lines. Amongst David's files was some correspondence from the Archives Office of New South Wales dating from 1988 concerning an Eliza Cruse who emigrated to Australia in 1872. David had initially written to New South Wales enquiring about a Mary Cruse who was listed in the indexes to the 'Assisted immigrants arriving in Sydney, 1860-79'. However when the archivist checked the records it transpired that the records related not to Mary Cruse but to Eliza Cruse. The online indexes have not been corrected so if anyone has been looking for Eliza they will probably not have been able to find her emigration records.
The papers supplied by the NSW Archives show that Eliza Cruse sailed from London to Australia on the Canning, arriving at Moreton Bay, Sydney, on 8th January 1873. Eliza was described as a housemaid aged 23. Her native place was St. Pancras, London, and her parents were William and Sarah. Her mother was living in Bloomsbury, London. She was a member of the Church of England and could read and write. She had no relations in the Colony, and she was of good 'bodily health'. I had no record of Eliza in my database but with a little help from the censuses and other sources and I was soon able to reconstruct her family.
Eliza was one of ten children born to William Murdock Cruse and Sarah Caster. She was born on 31st July 1849 in St Pancras, London, and was baptised on 7th April 1850 at Old Church, St Pancras. Unfortunately William and Sarah married prior to the beginning of civil registration and I do not currently have any record of their marriage. The family have a variety of interesting occupations. Eliza's father, William, was a bookseller. Her eldest brother George William Cruse (born c. 1837) was a policeman in the Metropolitan Police. Her brother John (born c. 1838) was an attendant at the South Kensington Museum, which I presume is the old name for the Natural History Museum. Her brother Walter (born c. 1840) moved to Gravesend in Kent and became a bookstore clerk. Another brother Edward (born 1845) joined the Royal Navy. The London Cruses all have an uncanny knack of living in unindexed London parishes which are not on the IGI and this family is no exception as they lived for many years in the genealogical black hole of St George's Hanover Square before moving to Brompton in about 1845, and then St Pancras by 1849. In the 1851 census they were living at 12 Greenland Grove, St Pancras. I can find no trace of the family in the 1861 census, and suspect that St Pancras is another one of the London districts which has a number of missing pages. I have also been unable to locate Eliza in the 1871 census. Her mother Sarah can however be found living at 7 Gee Street, Somers Town, St Pancras. She was now widowed, and was described as a retired bookseller. Two of her children seem to have been recruited to carry on the family business: William, 23, was a bookseller's assistant, and Harriet, 19, was a stationer's assistant.
Coincidentally I have recently been working on another London Cruse line with connections to St George's Hanover Square. The George Cruse who married Mary Dickson (see my earlier posting) was born c. 1814 in St George's Hanover Square. We know from his marriage certificate that he was the son of Charles Cruse, a bookbinder. Eliza's father William Cruse was born c. 1811 in St George's Hanover Square, and could well be the brother of George Cruse, especially with the book trade links.
Is there anyone researching the family of William Murdock Cruse and Sarah Caster? Does anyone know what became of Eliza after she emigrated to Australia?

I have just traced William and Sarah to be my great great great great grandfather, father of Walter and found your research on my family to be so helpful. I will certainly be in touch again very soon as I have only come accross this information 10 mins ago and very excited. Thank you so much, Angela Cruse

Hi Angela
Do get in touch. I'm now in contact with two people who are descended from the line of William Murdock Cruse and Sarah Caster, one in Scotland and one in Canada. I will be able to put you all in touch with each other.

I made this HOWTO to help anyone else that may have the same problem as me.
I had a lot of random MP3's that had correctly labeled ID3 tags all stuffed in the same folder.
In order for Madsonic to work correctly i needed to place all the songs of each artist inside a folder named after the artist.
I hope this helps
Let me know how i can add all 12 pictures at a time because it looks like i can only add 3 at a time.

This is what I have: mail.example.com pointing to public IP in ISPConfig 3 (A record). I did an IP lookup of mail.example.com and my IP was correctly resolved. In the "Monitor", the only error I am receiving is DNS "offline" How can this be? The site loads fine. How could there be DNS errors yet the only site loads? No error logs in mail. How does the IP resolve, Thunderbird recognizes the address and password, but no mail can be sent?

Mayor Coleen J. Seng today announced that Aging Services, a division of the Mayor's Office, has been awarded a grant of $50,000 per year for three years from the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement to fund a New Americans Older Adults Outreach Program. The program will provide three part-time, bicultural/bilingual outreach workers to address the unique needs of older refugees who are new to the United States. The U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement received more than 180 proposals. Lincoln's was one of 30 to be granted.
"Lincoln is proud of its reputation as a major resettlement location for refugees from around the world," said Mayor Seng. "We welcome these new Americans and want them to succeed in our community. This grant will help us to offer health, nutrition, housing and other services to the older refugees for a longer period of time to help them integrate into the community quicker."
Aging Services Director June Remington said most public assistance benefits are terminated between seven months to one year after refugees arrive.
"New American families frequently embrace traditional values of caring for their elders, but unfortunately they have few resources to draw upon," said Remington. "As a result, the older family members are often socially isolated, cannot access medical care, are usually unable to become fully proficient in English due to age and other factors, and they need assistance." The program will allow Aging Services to provide translation, accompany participants to doctors' appointments and link families to resources in the community.
Aging Services serves an eight-county area. To implement the project, Aging Services will partner with several other agencies including the Faces of the Middle East Project of the Lincoln Interfaith Council and the Asian Community and Cultural Center.

When Should I Use Vented Soffit?
Not sure whether your soffits should be plain or vented? This brief article clears up the confusion.
Dry verge ridge caps finish off the installation neatly at the top of the gable.
Angled ridge caps provide a sharp apex, whereas round ridge caps give a softer finish.
The ridge cap is placed over the end of the ridge tile so that it hooks over both dry verge units. Using the screws provided, screw into the ridge end cap through the desired blind nail hole and into the end of the ridge batten, or, if this is not available, into the top tiling battens.

I don't do Lancome. I can't explain it. Generally speaking, there is nada from the counter that I desire.
Then I saw this:
Oh, so beautiful – the look, the lips, the hair. LOVE.
So I stopped by the Lancome counter with no intention of buying anything, so naturally I ended up with two things from this collection – the much hyped Black Phia Gloss and Color Fever lipstick 145 in Red (supposedly a TRUE red, no blue tones, no orange tones, just a true hot red).
Phia Black:
I know what you are thinking. YSL did it!
YSL's had Pur Black had no shimmers. YSL's on its own was a hideous grey shade. YSL's took itself too seriously and it now rotting away in my lips stuff drawer.
Phia Black has hundreds of small micro shimmers. Phia Black can be used in many different ways by moi.
It also looks pretty good as a thin coat on its own:
I also got the red – I just don't wear reds everyday (although I want to start – with a clean eye look of course!). This looks like a true, everyone's red to me (I don't like overly blue based reds)
On the lips:
Now with the black gloss:
The black adds shimmer and dimension – it is not overly gothy at all (although you can always add more so it is!). I love it! This red lipstick is a true red, it has a very soft, moisturizing, glossy texture that is pigmented too. It's a foolproof red, but it is also a Limited Edition…eek.
I was concerned about how glossy it is – it' so soft, would it stay put (it is red after all, any smudges will be very apparent!).
I still love it though and its glamourous and practical at the same time.
Ooh – for buying 2 things, I got some freebies (on at Selfridges at the moment):
Could Aaron De Mey, creater of this range be coming up with more good things for Lancome?! I hope so!
* I blotted my lips on my notebook (like you do) and inspecting it 2 days later there's still the most beautiful silvery sparkly effect on it (down to the gloss) mmmmm love it!

What's the Hedge Fund 'Happy Meal'?
There's a new tool for companies to raise cash. WSJ's Michael Rothfeld explains why hedge funds are snapping up a tool named after the famous burger-and-toy combo. Photo: AP.

Adirondack Health earns Gold Seal for quality, patient safety
SARANAC LAKE - Adirondack Health has once again been recognized for its commitment to high national standards for health care quality and patient safety in hospitals by earning the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval.
The accreditation award recognizes Adirondack Health's dedication to continuous compliance with The Joint Commission's state-of-the-art standards.
Adirondack Medical Center, a member of Adirondack Health, underwent a rigorous unannounced on-site three-day survey in December, 2012. A team of Joint Commission expert surveyors evaluated AMC for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients, including infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management.
"In achieving Joint Commission accreditation, we have demonstrated our commitment to the top level of care for our patients," said Chandler Ralph, President & CEO of Adirondack Health. "Accreditation is a voluntary process and I applaud our talented staff for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate our standard of care and instill confidence in the community we serve."
"With Joint Commission accreditation, we are making a significant investment in quality on a day-to-day basis from the top down. Joint Commission accreditation provides us a framework to take our organization to the next level and helps create a culture of excellence," says Margaret Sorensen, Chief Nursing Officer for Adirondack Health. "Achieving Joint Commission accreditation, for our organization, is an affirmation of our commitment to continually improve the care we provide."
Adirondack Health is one of only a few health care organizations in New York State to be dually accredited by the Joint Commission and Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program.
The designation excludes skilled nursing and nursing home services, which are accredited and surveyed based on separate but equally rigorous standards of care by the New York State Department of Health.
The Joint Commission's hospital standards address important functions relating to the care of patients and the management of hospitals. The standards are developed in consultation with health care experts, providers, measurement experts and patients.

By Joseph & Brenda Rinehart
Book review by Donna Totey
Who among us hasn't looked at someone else and judged them? Say you're in a grocery store and see a mom harshly reprimand her child. Or you're in traffic and someone pulls out in front of you, causing you to slam on your brakes. Or you see someone sitting in church and they're wearing tattered jeans and kind of smell funny. We get frustrated or superior or disgusted or even pious. I know I've been there. But sometimes we don't even know we're doing it. The Rineharts talk about why we do this and how to move past it in their book, Moving From Judgment.
The book starts out with a very real discussion amongst the elders of the church and Joseph Rinehart, the pastor. The question causing division is, "Are we taking in just anybody?" Unfortunately, people in a lot of churches across the country are having the same conversation, with reasons summed up as "letting the wrong kind of people in" or "being a novice."
The Rineharts address the reasons for people being so judgmental, starting with Personhood. They point out that humanity was given the power of free choice, and while very valuable and precious to God, we are capable of very destructive, self-centered and shortsighted actions. That is followed by Personal Values, which we all learn from influences in our family, personal experience, popular culture, preferences and our inborn human nature. Cultural Values are also a part of why we are the way we are. Ultimately, the Rineharts point out that when we can recognize that "all humans possess equal value that has nothing to do with work, personality, attractiveness, values, behaviors or anything else," then we can start to "treat one another with the dignity and respect due" to them based on who we are to God.
What if you've been the one judged? Several principles are outlined to help you to get through it, and then move past it. Joseph Rinehart, through his personal experiences, lays out 6 principles: Acknowledge the hurt, give yourself time, don't pick at the scabs, let the train leave the station (move on and leave it behind), understand the nature of cause and effect (hurt people…hurt people) and use your hurt to heal others.
The final conclusion is that we all must look to God to not only overcome hurt, but to love others with the compassion of Jesus. None of us are exempt from being judged or from doing the judging.
I love the subject of this book because most of us could stand to work on our judgmental hearts. We are yearning to be more like Christ and this is an area in which we are sometimes blind. I like what the Rineharts state…"Since the world around us changes daily, if not hourly, we have a deep-seated need to build our priorities on something solid that does not change—the reason that Jesus emphasized the need to 'love God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.'" The Rineharts aren't just talking about theories here; they've walked through some very painful personal experiences, where they had to try to understand the judgments made against them.
Moving from Judgment is not a book that can be read in one sitting. The text is rich with theology and ideas that one must "chew on" to really understand the concepts. In each chapter, there's a section titled, "Going Deeper" in which there are several scripture passages, with the background of what was happening at that time in history and "The Point," why it's significant in our lives today. Then there's a prayer, which I found very meaningful and conversational, which was helpful in expressing to God what I just learned and asking Him to change me in those specific ways. Because of the format, the book lends itself to be used on a personal level or as a tool for a group.

Citibank: Sorry We Illegally Ruined Everything You Own Because Your Landlord Was In Foreclosure
Do you know what your rights are if your landlord is in foreclosure and people show up at your door to try to evict you instead of him? What if they load all your crap onto a truck and lock you out? No? Neither did "Tabitha," a renter whose landlord was in foreclosure and whose possessions were destroyed as movers kept illegally loading them onto and off trucks over and over again.
The nonsense began when attorneys for Citi Residential Lending (now CitiMortgage) obtained a court order to evict Tabitha's landlord from the brownstone that he owned and was renting to Tabitha. To that end, the bank hired a Realtor and the sheriff's office to evict the landlord. The Realtor, "Jax Realtors and REO Group," knew that Tabitha and not her landlord lived in the property, according to the Chicago Reporter, but they decided to evict her anyway, (despite the fact that this is illegal in Illinois.)
When she called the company the day of her lockout, she said an employee agreed to let her in two days later at 10 a.m. Tabitha arrived at 9:45 a.m. with a brigade of minivans and cars with friends, some of whom had taken off work, ready to pack, load and move her things, despite the 33-degree temperatures outside. They waited two hours. She said Jax never showed up.
The next day, Tabitha walked into the West Side office of the Legal Assistance Foundation and briefed attorney Jennifer Payne on her case. Payne believed she could retrieve Tabitha's belongings and get her some restitution.
Payne contacted Jax to see if the company was willing to negotiate. A company representative seemed agreeable and a date was set to meet at the apartment, Payne said. Jax officials did not show up for the second time and subsequently did not return her phone calls, Payne said. By the next afternoon, a truck from a different company was being loaded with Tabitha's furnishings. Tabitha's neighbor phoned and told Tabitha to hurry home. She arrived and called police. Some of her property was in the truck, some was still in the apartment. The rest was in a trashcan in the alley.
When police arrived, Tabitha showed her identification. The movers showed the officers their paperwork and called Jax Realtors and the move was stopped. According to the police report: "Complainant stated tenant home in foreclosure and contractor hired to clean building without notifying or allowing tenant to move out. Contractor returned property into residence, building resecured." Four days later, movers were there again. Again, they left without the furnishings. By this time, the damage to Tabitha's property was irreparable. The movers had damaged a fair amount of furniture to the point that Tabitha no longer wanted it.
When she learned that Jax owner Michael R. Fields called the Reporter's office, Tuesday, April 29 at 10:46 p.m., to say she could get her things back from the apartment, Tabitha recoiled in disgust. "I don't want that crap," Tabitha said.
The Realtor denies that they ever stood Tabitha up, and blame Citi Lending's attorneys for the mix-up. Citi said that Tabitha was given an opportunity to contest the eviction and didn't. As the story went to print, Tabitha and her lawyer were settling with Citi Lending after they were contacted by the Chicago Reporter. They claim that they never received the letters sent by Tabitha's lawyer.
"If [Jax] didn't have a court order to evict Tabitha, what [they] should have done was gone back to the bank and say, 'Bank, you don't have an order to evict Tabitha," said her lawyer.
The Reporter also has some tips for renters caught up in foreclosure. Remember, every state is different, so make sure that you understand the foreclosure laws in your area.

Clean, dry fuel for engines big and small
Like oil and water, gas and water don't mix at least they shouldn't. To keep your engines running smoothly and efficiently, use one of these new products to ensure fresh fuel and to keep water out of fuel and fuel lines.
Amsoil claims its new Dahl Fuel Filter/Water Separator removes almost 100% of water and solid contaminants from fuel before it reaches the fuel pump or injection system. As fuel flows through the dual-chamber, three-stage filter/separator, most of the solid contaminants and water settle into the filter's bowl. The filter element then filters the fuel completely, and clean fuel continues up to the pump and injection system. The filter/separator system can be used in a variety of diesel systems. Suggested retail price: $208 for tractor filter ADF10. Contact Amsoil Inc., Dept. FIN, 925 Tower Ave., Superior, WI 54880, 715/392-7101 or circle 191.
Pour in protection with Gold Eagle's new all-season Water Remover for year-round condensation protection.
The remover absorbs five times more water than does conventional gas line antifreeze, according to the company. It contains no corrosive alcohol and is safe for use with unleaded and leaded fuels, catalytic converters, oxygen sensors and fuel injectors. Price: $1.50. Contact Gold Eagle Co., Dept. FIN, 4400 S. Kildare, Chicago, IL 60632, 800/621-1251, www.goldeagle. com or circle 190.
Tecumseh claims that its dry, granular gasoline additive keeps fuel fresh even if it has been sitting in the tank for a year. Gas becomes stagnant in about 30 days and can lead to internal engine damage. The Ultra-Fresh stabilizer slows the stagnation process and prevents gum and varnish from forming in the fuel system, according to its maker.
Because the granular additive is nontoxic and will not combust, it can be stored. It can be used on any two- and four-cycle gas engines around the farm. Price: $15 to treat up to 96 gal. Contact Tecumseh Products Co., Dept. FIN, 900 North St., Grafton, WI 53024, 262/377-2700 or circle 189.
Removing water in fuel lines, 101
There are three ways to remove water from fuel:
Absorption of water from fuel takes place when the media within a filter absorbs the fuel passing through it. This method will absorb free water (condensation or dissolved water in your fuel) and other contaminants. Filters are fairly ineffective in removing emulsified water (water left in the fuel after absorption).
Coalescing uses gravity and slows flow rates to let water droplets drop out of your fuel and collect at the bottom of the fuel filter. A coalescing method of water removal is a fuel filter/water separator. It removes free and emulsified water.
Stripping uses a silicone-treated medium in the filter that limits the flow of water through it, while allowing free fuel to flow through the filter and on to the injectors. Water is stripped out of the fuel filter, drops down the dirty side of the silicone medium and gathers in the bottom of the fuel separator. Stripping removes free and emulsified water.

Truth is a funny word. It smacks of empirical fact and righteousness.
But truth is not that. It's subjective — a cocktail of knowledge, experience, context and bias. Jake Sorofman, chief marketing officer for rPath, admits that an attempt to generalize "truths" about a topic as broad and complex as IT has the potential to come across as presumptuous … or worse!
But, if you look closely, complexity often betrays patterns. For him, these patterns tell a story that gets — if not to the ultimate kernel — in close proximity to the truth.
The following are the eight truths of enterprise IT, from Sorofman's perspective.
