This is from Family Tree Magazine
I am proud to be named among the others who are blogging.
It is an inspiration for me to try to improve and make my blog more interesting for those who read.
Around the World in 40 Blogs
By Sunny Jane Morton
Need help finding family overseas? Let a local be your guide. This year's Family Tree 40 list highlights the top blogs for tracing roots around the globe.
If you've traveled abroad, you know it's not easy to adjust to a new land. Unfamiliar languages, customs, laws, food, currency and maps can trip you up. Smart travelers often consult trusted locals on where to visit, eat and sleep.
Starting family history research in another country is like traveling there for the first time. You don't know the nuances of record-keeping, the ins and outs of repositories, or even how to read the country's records.
It can help to have a friendly local as your guide.Where can you find such a guide? Try the international geneablogging scene.
Amateurs and experts from Argentina to Australia, British Columbia to the British Isles note their successes, tips and techniques in genealogy weblogs, or "geneablogs." In this whirlwind world tour, we'll introduce you to 40 fantastic international blogs, and help you find, read and use them in your research.
We chose these blogs based on their overall quality of content and design, potential interest to other researchers, and relatively current status.
There are dozens more with advice on finding your international ancestors—see our blog readers' Q&A for advice on how to find and get the most out of international blogs relevant to your genealogy search.
Because genealogy research often strays beyond national boundaries—both modern and historical ones—we've categorized these blogs according to their geographic regions: the Americas, Europe, Asia, Oceana and Africa, and even a multilingual one covering regions worldwide.
If you have Hispanic heritage, you might want to check blogs covering Spain and the places in the Americas your clan landed. Wherever your roots might take you, a genealogy blog just might hold the keys to finding your ancestors.
The Americas

Upon learning that he will not be suspended in the Saints bounty case, defensive end Will Smith thanked the man who rescinded his suspension — and ripped the man who originally suspended him.
Smith said he appreciated that former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue took the time to consider the players' side of the story and said that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell rushed to judgment without waiting for the facts.
"I'm pleased with the ruling of Mr. Tagliabue to vacate my suspension," Smith said. "I continue to maintain that I did not participate in a pay-to-injure program or facilitate any such program. I appreciate that Mr. Taglaibue did not rush to judgment, taking into consideration all facts presented to him, before ruling– something that was clearly not done by Commissioner Goodell in previous hearings. I am looking forward to putting this all behind me and getting back to the game I love. I want to thank the New Orleans Saints, the NFL Players Association, the fans, my friends and family for their continued support throughout this ordeal."
Smith and his fellow suspended Saints have said all along that Goodell botched the bounty investigation, and now Smith and his fellow Saints are celebrating a victory handed to them by Goodell's predecessor.

Tropical medicine. International health. Global health. There are many names for a branch of medicine that transcends national borders. There's also a name that's virtually synonymous with the field: Dr. Jerry Paccione.
Gerald Paccione, Jr., M.D.An internist and professor of clinical medicine, Dr. Paccione—who received the Honorary Alumnus Award at Einstein's 2014 commencement ceremony—began serving abroad nearly 40 years ago. As a student at Harvard Medical School in 1975, he volunteered to provide primary care and help organize a nutrition program in a remote region of Guatemala. Working for a year out of a one-room adobe hut, he treated residents of three villages who otherwise might never have received basic health services.
That experience shaped his future career. After joining the Einstein faculty in 1982, Dr. Paccione created student and resident training opportunities abroad, initially in South America and eventually around the world. He also founded the primary care residency program, later directing the merged program of primary care/social internal medicine at Montefiore Medical Center, the University Hospital for Einstein. He helped launch special clinics for immigrants in the South Bronx as well, and for victims of international human rights abuse. And, he helped establish the medical school's Global Health Center. His work has taken him to Latin America, Vietnam, and Africa.
Dr. Paccione with Einstein global health fellows in Kisoro, Uganda (Clockwise from left): Nori Murakami, Brad Petersen, Jerry Paccione, Christina Cruz, Stella Safo, Rafael Frias, Elena Bryce, Amit Patel, Kenneth Schaefle and Chris Beaudoin."From my start in medicine, I'd always been interested in working in other parts of the world," he said recently. "I like the balance between serving in the U.S. and abroad. It makes you appreciate what we have here, and sometimes, unfortunately, take for granted."
For the past 15 years, Dr. Paccione's work has focused on the east African nation of Uganda. Since 2006, he has led the collaboration among Einstein, Montefiore, and international advocacy group Doctors for Global Health to help staff a public hospital in the impoverished, rural Ugandan district of Kisoro. The hospital, one of only two serving a population of 270,000, is underfunded and overworked. Its two physicians are responsible for more than 150 beds, and its nurse staffing level is only 60 percent of capacity.
The fellowship program that Dr. Paccione leads brings faculty members, students and residents to work on the hospital wards and to team with village health workers on public health projects in dozens of surrounding communities. Over the past eight years, the program has served tens of thousands of patients, while providing real-world training for more than 200 students and residents.
The popularity of the program seems to reflect the growing interest and changes in global health. "The world has gotten a lot closer," said Dr. Paccione. "We're no longer just looking at tropical diseases like malaria but a burgeoning epidemic of chronic diseases that we're used to treating here, and they have no one to diagnose or treat them in rural Africa.
Dr. Paccione during rounds at the hospital in KisoroHe continued, "We're also looking at disparities in health that are due to abject poverty—HIV, TB, malnutrition. Health is not just about medicine; it's primarily about social issues, and thus our program in Kisoro extends into the rural countryside through microfinance initiatives, malnutrition projects, and community health workers with whom our students collaborate."
In addition, technological advances and other changes have "shrunk" the world, increasing awareness of global health problems and making it easier for scientists and clinicians to combat them. "It used to be that people who did this work were separated and distant. Now going off to work in global health doesn't have to be like going into exile. It can be like taking the subway. The field has really opened up."
Treating patients in places like Kisoro poses unique challenges, he continued. While patients typically come in for treatment later in the course of their illness, clinicians have fewer tools and tests at their disposal than they would in the U.S. But professional rewards also are special.
"It's a joy to practice medicine with your hands and with your eyes," Dr. Paccione said. "You learn the importance of the physical exam, of relying on your own judgment. You're really practicing medicine on the frontier, and this gives you a different perspective on disease."
Ultimately, the knowledge and experience gained overseas benefits patients closer to home, according to Dr. Paccione. "The issues we deal with in Kisoro are some of the same issues we deal with in communities throughout our own nation. So, by investing in global health, we're also investing in our own communities. That means a lot to me as a doctor. And I've been very fortunate to find a place that allows me to act on that value."

Joe Chambers
This long-anticipated date by drummer Chambers, his first domestic production since the mid-'70s, is the personification of what modern jazz in the '90s can be. Immaculately played and programmed, collectively inspired by brilliant musicianship, and triggered by the creative juices of its fearless leader, the date commands interest throughout, and upon repeated listenings. That's the mark of a truly great recording. Chambers explores many veins of contemporary jazz, from the New Orleans-derived, modern modal "Tu-Way-Pock-E-Way," the Jazz Messenger-ish title track, the darker, modal "Caravanserai," the tearjerker "Ruth," and the more hopeful, upbeat trio finale "Ruthless" to the delicate take on Janet Jackson's "Come Back to Me." The middle section hints at Chambers' polyphonic notions, on the fast samba modification of Andrew Hill's "Catta" (previously recorded on Chambers' '70s Muse/32 Jazz date The Almoravid) retitled "Mariposa," plus a more multi-instrumental focus; there are overdubs of vibes and drums with the trio of astounding pianist Mulgrew Miller and bassist Ira Coleman on Rod Temperton's "Lady in My Life," and more as Chambers duets with himself on drums and vibes for "Circles." Saxophonist Vincent Herring and trumpeter Eddie Henderson are lockstep in harmonic interplay, forming a frontline that is as attractive as any. The rhythm section can do no wrong, and Chambers is right on with every step. In case you hadn't heard, Chambers is one of the all-time greats, as he proves on every track of this exceptional modern jazz date. Footnote: Chambers is also a fine pianist, yet another side that hopefully will come to the forefront on a follow-up that we should not have to wait twenty years for. ~ Michael G. Nastos

The gardeners working on the High Line are reflections of their workspace: exciting, sturdy, 30 feet off the ground, and working toward sustainability in all its various forms. Gardener Meg Graham recently gave a presentation to her fellow planstpeople about her visit to Growing Power, a community urban farm she recently visited in Milwaukee. In sharing her thoughts, she vividly described for her coworkers a process called vermicomposting, which in this case involved broken dryers, worms, and dirt cubes.
You can view a clip from her excellent presentation on this composting method here [PDF].

SAN JOSE — A 69-year-old San Jose man was killed in a crash on Highway 101 north of McKee Road that sent two cars into a roadside tree Wednesday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The collision between a white Ford Mustang and Lexus SUV was reported at 12:30 p.m. in the southbound lanes just south of Taylor Street.
The man driving the Mustang was north of the McKee Road off-ramp when he "made an unsafe turning movement" from a middle lane to the adjacent slower lane and collided with the Lexus, according to a CHP report.
Both cars careened across the highway and catapulted down a dirt embankment. The Mustang's driver side hit a eucalyptus tree, killing the driver. The Lexus overturned and also hit a tree; the driver, a 49-year-old San Jose woman, suffered a broken arm.
The far-right lane near the crash site was closed for 3 1/2 hours to allow access for emergency vehicles, which included the San Jose Fire Department. Major delays were reported in and around the area, including on the Interstate 880 connector.

Greenwich family office buys Wash. manufacturer
Kidd & Co., a Greenwich family office, has entered the aerospace industry with purchase of a Washington state manufacturer.
The firm, along with partner Centerfield Capital, has acquired Imaginetics, a maker of precision metal components and assemblies for the aerospace industry. Terms were not disclosed. Family offices are private companies that manage the estates and investments of wealthy families.
Located in Auburn, Wash., Imaginetics has seen growth in demand in the airframe and aerostructures supply chain, as original equipment manufacturers struggle to secure capacity to allow them to meet aircraft delivery forecasts, according to Kidd Partner Donald Hardie.
The company has a 52,000-square-foot factory and headquarters in Auburn, where it employs 90 people.
"We are impressed by the breadth of the company's capabilities, spanning metal fabrication, CNC machining and part-to-part and final assembly," Hardie said.
In connection with the transaction, Imaginetics has promoted Scott Strong to president and made other management changes.
Strong, a 20-year-plus industry veteran, joined Imaginetics in early 2011 as vice president of operations.
"There are many growth opportunities for Imaginetics, and we are confident in our ability to capitalize on them with the help of our newly expanded management team and the additional resources that come from the KCO team," Strong said in a statement.
Imaginetics, which has customers including Stamford-based Hexcel Corp., Boeing, Spirit Aerosystems and Zodiac Aerospace, invests in companies with earnings between $2 million and $20 million.
A spokesman for Hexcel said company policy does not allow it to talk about suppliers.
Family offices like Kidd often set up private investment arms as an alternative to investing solely in public markets, said Roger Aguinaldo, publisher and CEO of Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor.
"It seems more and more activity is happening since many firms got into action in the past several months after the election," he said.
Centerfield Capital and related parties provided subordinated debt and equity. BMO Harris Bank provided senior debt.
By making a direct purchase, Kidd & Co. avoids the fees associated with going through a private equity firm, said Soma Biswas, private equity editor at Mergermarket.
"There's been a resurgence in middle-market deals since 2010. Markets are back in full force. Firms like Kidd & Co. are sitting on a lot of cash," she said.

Tanglewood is best known as the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the rustic former estate in the Berkshire hills where music-lovers have been gathering to hear classical music since 1936. This year, it will be the venue for a new show: the Tanglewood British Motorcar Festival, scheduled for June 17-19 – that's this Father's Day weekend.
The new festival is being organized by the same folks who put on the popular British Invasion in Stowe, Vermont, every fall. Like the Invasion, the new show will celebrate not only British cars, but all aspects of British culture.
The festival begins on Friday evening, when a Paul Revere lookalike on horseback rides through downtown Lenox, Massachusetts, proclaiming that "the British are coming." Behind him will be members of the renowned Shakespeare & Co. theater, also located in Lenox, and a line of approximately 200 British cars. The town of Lenox will throw a party of its own on Friday night, with the Rolling Stones tribute band Satisfaction performing, and shops and restaurants staying open late.
On Saturday, the cars and motorcycles will take to the lawn, displayed in no less than 44 classes. Mike Kittredge, known as the creator of Yankee Candle (currently with Kringle Candle, which he and his son, Mike Kittredge III, founded in 2009), will be honored as the British Motoring Enthusiast of the Year, and will have 20 cars from his collection on display. Miller Motorcars of Greenwich, Connecticut, will display two new Aston Martins, as well as a Rolls-Royce Ghost and a Bentley Mulsanne; the new Museum of Springfield History in Springfield, Massachusetts, will show its replica of the Duryea.
Sunday brings a variety of participatory events, including a Competition of Colors and a Tailgate Picnic competition. There are driving tours on all three days, too.
General admission is $15 for both days, or $10 for Sunday only. Registration for the people's choice show is $55 per vehicle, or $65 for the judged concours d'elegance. I and at least a couple of other Hemmings editors will be there, so if you should spot one of us, stop and say hello.

Immunohistochemistry is commonly distinguished as being the process of conducting immunoreactions on tissue thin sections, whereas immunocytochemistry is the same type of reactions on cell cultures. Furthermore, the term immunofluorescence is also often applied to immunochemical reactions that involve fluorophores conjugated to primary and secondary antibodies, as well as antibody fragments. In the scientific literature and the catalogs of antibody manufacturers, these terms are useful to segregate between products designed for cytological use and those targeted at paraffin or frozen tissue sections. However, the general principles of immunology are the same regardless of whether they are applied to isolated cells or those embedded within a tissue matrix.
Simultaneous localization of tight junctions and the nuclear pore complex proteins (NPCP) was performed with a double immunofluorescence experiment with the MDCK cell culture illustrated above using mouse anti-NPCP and rabbit anti-ZO-3 primary antibodies. The subcellular targets were visualized using goat anti-mouse and anti-rabbit secondary antibodies (IgG) conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa Fluor 568, respectively. DNA in the nuclei was counterstained using Hoechst 33258. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Major League spring training camps will open for pitchers and catchers in mid-February in both Florida and Arizona. Former Lipscomb Bisons standout Caleb Joseph, drafted in 2008 in the seventh round by the Baltimore Orioles, will be back in Sarasota, Fla., this spring, but where he will spend the summer is a question mark at this point. After spending some time taking batting practice with Paul Phillips, a former professional baseball player and a first-year assistant with the Bisons, Joseph paused to talk for a few minutes with Lipscombsports.com for a modified version of "Where Are They Now?"
Patience is considered to be a virtue for most, but in his quest to play Major League baseball patience has become a necessity for Caleb Joseph as he deals with the ups and downs of the minor leagues.
"There is a lot of instability and that is what makes the minor league life extremely tough," Joseph said. "They can call you in after a game and send you up or down. You are literally chasing a dream.
"Unless you are a first rounder, or you really, really overachieve and hit .400 every year, you have to grind it out. You have to play your cards right and be doing well at the right time when a guy goes down with an injury or gets traded."
Joseph loves playing baseball, but he is quick to point out there are a lot of misconceptions about life in the minors such as the pay scale. In the majors players make six-to-eight figures, but in the minors the salaries are in the low five figures. He mowed lawns for part of the offseason and worked for UPS as well in an effort to make some extra money.
Joseph, preparing for his sixth season in professional baseball, doesn't know what the spring or summer will bring. He has spent at least part of the last three seasons in Bowie, Md., but has played in four cities in the minors.
"It is tough to mentally get accustomed to an area when you move a lot," Joseph said. "I have been living out of suitcases the last six years. It is hard to get into a routine of life.
Like all minor league players he makes sacrifices while hoping to get that phone call to go to "the show". Joseph looks to God to direct his life and has faith that he will reach his dream.
"It takes one little break," Joseph said. "That is where faith comes along. If I could make it for one day in the big leagues I could leave and be good with it."
He called Phillips, a former pro catcher, and has been picking his brain for advice while working out the past few days.
"Paul has been an unbelievable help," Joseph said. "He has been there and done it. We have established a good relationship.
"I was excited when Lipscomb hired him. What Paul brings to the table is invaluable. I am going to him as a professional and asking for his help. Just think what his experience is going to mean to Lipscomb's players."
Joseph's life will change dramatically before he gets to spring training. He and Brooke Cannon, a former volleyball player at Trevecca Nazarene University, plan to be married Feb. 2.
"She will go with me to spring training," Joseph said. "When I find out where I am going to be we will drive there together."
Joseph spent most of last season in Class AA with the Bowie BaySox and 22 games in Class AAA with the Norfolk Tides in Virginia. He batted .272 overall for the BaySox and was particularly strong after his return to the team. He also had 12 home runs, 17 doubles and 48 runs batted in. He batted .206 at Norfolk, but he thinks that stat is a little misleading since it is based on only 68 at bats.
"I did pretty well offensively last season and I hope that puts me back on the map," Joseph said. "You can go from prospect to suspect overnight.
"There is always somebody coming up behind you. You constantly have to reinvent yourself. I am very excited about this season because I did finish strong last year.
He closed out his time In Norfolk sitting on the bench for several games before returning to Bowie. It was during that time that he seriously evaluated his options.
"When I was sent back down I could have hung it up mentally," Joseph said. "When you get demoted there are two ways you can respond. You can say 'poor me', or you can look in the mirror and realize that you need to starting figuring some stuff out.
"You have to start looking at the facts and the body of work that you have produced in pro ball. It just hasn't been good enough and as consistent as it should be. During that time in Norfolk I realized I had to figure it out…period. I watched a lot of video and got a lot of advice from big leaguers."
All positions are competitive, but catchers have to show consistency on several levels from defense to hitting to an ability to relate to pitchers and understand the strategy of the game.
"I have a lot of bursts of big league talent and a lot of bursts of inconsistency," Joseph said. "To play in the big leagues, especially at catcher, they have to know what they are getting.
"There cannot be any question marks. If that No. 1 guy goes down you are in. The first step is to get back to the big league camp and put me back on the radar as a potential option."
Joseph has returned to the fundamentals of the game in order to get noticed by Baltimore manager Buck Showalter and the front office.
"I was very inconsistent as a hitter," Joseph said. "Talking in really broad terms I had to find consistency with my approach and execution. I had to do it the proper, professional, proven way.
"Defensively, I have really worked on throwing guys out. My percentages have really taken off. I have been at or near 40 percent the last two years and that is quite a good feat."
Joseph keeps up with former teammate Rex Brothers, a pitcher for the Colorado Rockies, and his younger brother, Corban, an infielder who played in Class AA last season for the New York Yankees and is on the 40-man Major League roster for the spring.
"It gets frustrating, but I have to remember that my position can take a little longer," Joseph said. "I have to be a little more patient. Baseball is so closely related to life that you learn patience.
"If it is in God's plan I will make it. I am at a point in my life where I understand so much more about that. I am going to give it my best shot, but if I don't make it my life is not defined by this. If it doesn't happen I will be all right."
Nestled carefully in the baggage Joseph carries from town-to-town are the lessons he learned at Lipscomb. He freely admits that no one had a bigger influence on him from an athletic standpoint than Lipscomb baseball coach Jeff Forehand.
"If you want to grow, the opportunities are endless here," Joseph said. "Jeff stayed on me pretty hard. What I didn't know at the time was that he was not on me just because of baseball. I realized later that he was teaching me life lessons like not to be selfish and to think of other people before you think about yourself. He kept us accountable.
"He didn't just say it. He did it. He still keeps me in check. On the surface it may look like we are talking about baseball, but we are really talking about life. I really grew spiritually here and I draw on the lessons I learned in athletics and in the classroom."
Joseph enjoyed a bounty of individual accolades as a player at Lipscomb. But when he looks back at his time on campus, his athletic memories are not centered on his personal success.
"I remember how much fun it was hitting a home run on TV against Georgia in the NCAA Tournament," Joseph said. "I remember all of the 17 homers I hit when I was here. But what I remember the most is we had a great team.
"It is so clichéd, but it is about the relationships. I keep in touch with just about all of the guys I played with here at Lipscomb. At Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's you get flooded with text from your old teammates. That is what means the most."
When it was time to choose a college Joseph didn't rank Lipscomb first on his list. He knew that at Lipscomb he would be an athlete at a school where many of his relatives had excelled. He wasn't sure that was the road he wanted to travel.
His father, Mark, played baseball at Lipscomb under coach Ken Dugan. An uncle, Monte Joseph, played tennis and another uncle, Morey Joseph, played baseball. His grandfather, Gary Waller, played basketball and baseball.
"I have been coming to Lipscomb my whole life," Joseph said. "I have always seen purple and gold my whole life. I remember working as a towel boy and drying the sweat of Philip Hutcheson and John Pierce when they fell down on the court.
"I know the rich history here. I tried to not go to Lipscomb. I wanted to create my own legacy, whatever that meant. But God told me I was going to be here and it worked out better than I could have anticipated. I played as much as I wanted. We won a conference championship. We made history by playing in the NCAA Tournament."
Whatever happens in his pro baseball career Joseph would like to find a way to stay in the game. One of his goals is to live his life, on and off of the playing field, in a way that will bring honor to his family and the university.
"When I am in Allen Arena for a basketball game or a volleyball match I walk by the Hall of Fame," Joseph said. "I see those names. I would be lying if I didn't say I wonder if I have done enough to be there.
"I know I can play in the big leagues, and I am going to play in the big leagues. The Orioles have made it clear they haven't given up on me and I haven't either."

The northern puffer, blowfish, or bayman's bottlefish, perhaps our most fascinating local marine fish, is making a comeback after a hiatus of almost two decades. It is one of some 121 different puffer species found throughout the world's oceans, and one that kids wading and swimming in Long Island waters learn about at a very early age.
Puffers have lost several typical fish characteristics, including the dorsal, during a long period of evolution, the same kind of evolution that produced some very odd relatives-Mola mola, or ocean sunfish, the burrfishes, and a few others.
Puffers are not strong swimmers, so to survive over the millenniums, they have developed two very successful defense mechanisms. They can puff themselves up using either air or water, whichever they happen to be in at the time, or play host to bacteria that synthesize tetrodotoxin, or TTX, a powerful neurotoxin that is accumulated in the hosts' body organs, making them deadly poisonous when consumed whole. In Japan alone, there are about 50 reported deaths a year from eating, but fish containing the same poison are widely distributed throughout Indo-Pacific waters, where they account for much food poisoning and several fatalities.
In Wikipedia it is related that in 1784 Capt. James Cook sailing the South Pacific experienced a tetradotoxin poisoning incident. Several sailors got sick from eating puffer fish while pigs kept on board for food succumbed after eating the carcasses.
Several other organisms including octopods, marine worms, starfish, and crabs can host similar bacterial, or Vibrio species, to make themselves poisonous to predators as well, while the rough-skinned newt of Oregon can do the same. About 40 years ago there was a news report about someone unsuspectingly scooping up one of these newts in the genus Taricha in a stream in the dark while gathering water to make coffee. The coffee was made, the coffee was drunk, the coffee drinker died.
Recently, a second toxin, Saxitoxin, has been implicated in fish poisonings in the Atlantic tropics. It is the same poison produced by bacteria accumulated in shellfish that causes paralytic shellfish toxicosis in fish, marine mammals, and humans. While the poison TTX has been found in rare cases in the organs of mid and upper-Atlantic northern puffers and has been used experimentally to poison lab mice, the flesh, mostly muscle, of our local puffers has always been found safe to eat.
Apparently, puffing up is enough to ward off most predators and it's one of the two mechanisms that can save the fish's life. Let's say that a striped bass or large bluefish cruises into shallow water during the summertime and zeroes in on a 10-inch blowfish. Before it is able to get a tooth hold, the blowfish has swollen to twice the size of the predator fish's mouth gape. It's more than a challenge for the pursuer, and most frequently the prey escapes. Try popping a balloon floating in the air using only your teeth sometime and you will understand just how effective such an escape act can be.
Blowfish have very powerful jaws and strong teeth for cutting and crushing. They use them successfully on shellfish, snails, crabs, and other slow-moving hard-cased critters found on the seabed. Those little pearl-colored sand crabs in the genus Emerita that appear in the wave-wash sands along most of our beaches are one of their favorite morsels. There is a second puffer in our waters, but deeper, which I have never seen. It's the smooth puffer and the new National Audubon Society "Field Guide to Fishes" says it can reach three feet in length. I imagine that such a large puffer could swell to the size of a soccer ball if provoked.
When I was a child growing up at the edge of the Peconics in Mattituck on the North Fork, we used to catch blowfish with our hands after herding them into the shallows and causing them to blow up during breaks in clamming. We would rub their prickly bellies and listen to the base notes thusly produced. We also used to attract them to our feet by wiggling our toes and then put down a hook baited with a piece of balloon rubber to catch them. I hear similar stories from people who grew up on the South Fork. It just might be that blowfish are the most ubiquitously known fish in town. It's music to the ears to hear that they are back!

I'm a beginner. I've been trying to have my first lucid dream for over a month. I do a reality check every hour, i have an alarm in my phone (Pinch myself, look at the clock, try to fly, look at the mirror etc). Every night before going to sleep I keep repeating these words in my head *Tonight I'm going to lucid dream, My body will be sleeping but I'll be aware that I'm dreaming in my dreamworld*.
There has been some nights where I dont sleep at all! i just keep repeating those words over and over and when I least expect it boom! morning light. Sometimes I use an app I downloaded it gives me Binaural Beats, I tried sleeping with them but again nothing happened. Even tho I can remember my dreams a lot more I still cant have a lucid dream. I think that once i dreamed about a lucid dream . I'm not frustrated and i will keep trying. Ive read alot of articles about LD, I've tried everything I have in hand to have one ... I dont know what else to do
....If someone can help me ! Please! Help me i would really apreciate it

SAN BRUNO — A week after lawmakers bashed the Public Utilities Commission for a perceived chummy rapport with the utilities it polices, the regulatory agency drew sharp criticism for a planned safety conference featuring PG&E and commission leaders.
In response to the criticism, the PUC on Wednesday evening said it would postpone the event to an undisclosed date in order to "eliminate any possible public concern."
The two-day, free and public symposium was expected to have Pacific Gas & Electric President Chris Johns on a panel discussion slated to include Commissioner Mike Florio and PUC Executive Director Paul Clanon. They were scheduled to discuss what the commission and utilities need from each other to "improve public safety in California," according to Forging a New Vision of Safety in California conference agenda posted on the PUC's website.
It's unclear how much the event will cost, nor who will foot the bill, but a PG&E spokeswoman said the utility was "going to help fund the symposium."
For utility and PUC critics, the conference captured what they say is a dysfunctional relationship that hasn't changed much since a deadly pipeline blast in San Bruno in 2010.
The planning of the conference comes as evidence is still being submitted for the commissioners to rule on how much PG&E should pay in fines for the explosion, which killed eight and destroyed 38 homes.
"This looks like a public relations stunt," San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson said before the postponement was announced. "We believe it's intended to muster public opinion that both PG&E and PUC are focused on safety."
National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman, who was highly critical of PG&E and the PUC after the blast, was slated to deliver the symposium's keynote speech via video. Jackson said Hersman's work is beyond reproach and inviting her to speak was an effort to lend legitimacy to the conference, which also is expected to feature a dinner event with hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger.
San Bruno filed a motion with the PUC earlier Wednesday demanding that Florio and Commission President Michael Peevey, who was scheduled to speak at the San Francisco conference originally scheduled for May 7-8, be removed from the panel of speakers. The motion argued the San Bruno explosion would naturally come up, yet discussion of the case violates PUC rules.
"Under the CPUC's very own rule, President Peevey and Commissioner Florio are prohibited from discussing any subject matter related to the PG&E explosion when it does not occur in a public hearing," San Bruno's attorney Steven Myers wrote in the motion.
"Although the symposium is a forward-looking event and issues related to the CPUC's ongoing PG&E pipeline cases would not be discussed, to eliminate any possible public concern over the fairness of the CPUC's process, the CPUC has decided to postpone the symposium to a future day," according to a statement released about 6:10 p.m. Wednesday.
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord said the PUC invited the utility company's leaders to the event. She went on to say the company is interested in "the opportunity to share our perspective on gas safety and learn from others in the industry."
"PG&E will continue to follow the PUC's guidelines and processes in the investigation proceedings," Chord said.
San Bruno's motion was filed about a week after some lawmakers called for Clanon's ouster during hearings stemming from a scathing report on the agency's safety culture. According to the report from Business Advantage Consulting, PUC workers still believe accidents are unavoidable and safety goals should be "balanced against the competing goals of affordability and reliability."
"I have to move hearts and minds. It's a human business," Clanon told lawmakers at the April 17 hearing in Sacramento. "It's a messy business."

Many people review online casinos but forget to review all aspects of the games involved. What about online slots for example? Many people play online casinos just for the slots and couldn't be bothered with table games like blackjack or video pokers. There are many aspects of online slots that are always of interest to gamblers and we have them broken down. One good source of comprehensive slots reviews comes from grem casino portal.
Slots Jackpots
If people wanted to flip a coin all day and bet on it, they would play blackjack. However players want to win big and that's why they love slots. This is a true game of chance and if people believe in luck, slots is for them. No decisions to make other than to spin or not to spin. Knowing the maximum jackpot is useful information if you want to play especially for optimizing for the max number of coins and always playing with all the lines selected.
This is especially true of progressive slots where the jackpot keeps growing especially as more players are playing it. The largest progressive jackpot to date was for over $13 million!
Payout Percentages
What is the house edge of a slot? This is very useful info and it will tell you at what rate you'll keep your money. Avoid slots with house edges of 4% of higher as this will eat away at your bankroll too fast. If you can find house edges under 3% this is ideal and it means your bankroll will be conserved especially with a casino bonus in play.

- BetSoft
- Espresso Games
- Sheriff Gaming
- Rival Gaming
Here is one review of the biggest progressive slot in history called Mega Fortune Slot

As well as tough exoskeletons that give soldiers super-strength, the US military is also developing lightweight suits that prevent regular injuries from everyday duties.
When the first Iron Man movie was released in 2008, defense companies rushed to capitalise on the sudden public interest in exoskeletons – armour-like suits that can provide superhuman powers – similar in theory to what Tony Stark wore.
If exoskeletons evoke images of super soldiers flinging cars, the reality could be equally as dramatic, hoped defence companies. "The exoskeleton is essentially a wearable robot that amplifies its wearer's strength, endurance and agility," says Raytheon, a US defence company that makes one version of a military exoskeleton, the XOS 2, that allows the wearer to easily lift 200 pounds (90kg).
While exoskeletons make for great headlines and fanciful hypothetical scenarios, the reality for now is more mundane. Iron Man may fly through the air, but the Raytheon exoskeleton is on a leash. Literally. Even the XOS 2 operates on a tether, which provides the electrical supply needed for the power-hungry system.
Interest in the exotic robotic suits, at least for the cash-strapped US military, may be waning. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) completed its exoskeleton program, and Raytheon no longer has government funding for its work. Lockheed Martin also has its own version of the exoskeleton, called the human universal load carrier (HULC), which has been receiving Army funding for research and development, but it's not clear what the future of that work will be for a military that has little money to actually field exotic new technology.
One reason may be that the military is re-examining what sort of technologies it needs: ten years of war has demonstrated that one of the biggest problems for US soldiers is musculoskeletal injuries, often from the heavy loads they carry on a daily basis. Such injuries have increased ten-fold in recent years. In fact, while casualties from direct combat may lead the news, musculoskeletal injuries are actually one of the leading causes of disability. Almost half of all non-deployable US soldiers have suffered preventable musculoskeletal injuries, according to army officials.
So developing an expensive and energy-hungry super suit, though a nice idea, might not be the military's top priority. Augmenting soldiers' natural strength and protecting them from injuries is another matter: Darpa is now working on a new programme called Warrior Web, which is much closer in inspiration to Batman than Iron Man. Rather than relying on a hard, exterior robotic shell, the Warrior Web suit is described as being a "lightweight, conformal undersuit", like a diver's wetsuit.
The undersuit takes a different approach to enhancing soldiers: rather than creating "super soldiers" that can carry much more than a normal human, it focuses on helping troops do what they already do more efficiently and safely: carrying gear and supplies which can reach over 100 pounds (45kg). The idea is that the suit will fit comfortably underneath the uniform and outer protective gear to provide functional and adaptive support. Integrated components and sensors will help to prevent injuries and enhance the user's natural abilities by supporting joints and reducing the amount of energy a soldier expends. Darpa is also looking at other "novel technologies that prevent, reduce, ambulate, and assist with healing of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries."
Power up
This new focus hasn't stopped other efforts to develop exoskeletons. The US Army's Natick Soldier Systems Center in Massachusetts is still funding Lockheed's HULC system and field tests of the armour suit are planned for later this year, according to David Audet, the team leader for the Soldier Mobility and Mission Enhancement Team. Audet sees research on exoskeleton and warrior web suits as being complementary efforts. "The area of personal augmentation is the umbrella effort," he says. "We're trying to augment the soldier, augment the marine, to be able to perform tasks that he does everyday, safer, more efficiently, and trying to reduce the energy in those tasks and reduce that number of injuries."
In September of last year, Natick sponsored a demonstration of a number of such personal augmentation technologies. "We are looking to advance a couple of the technologies demonstrated at the event," Audet said. "But nothing is firm."
On the commercial side, Ekso Bionics, the California-based firm that licenses its technology to Lockheed, is already providing its robotic suit to hospitals for rehabilitation of patients suffering from paralysis. "Our goal is to get [the suits] out to the home," says Russ Angold, the chief technology Officer of Ekso Bionics. "Instead of going to a rehab centre, they can do the rehab in their home."
Eventually, the company wants patients to be able to use the suits for everyday use, but that requires reducing the size, cost and complexity. "We think of our exoskeletons like the old suitcase cell phone," says Angold. "As technology progresses, they'll get smaller, lighter, more capable."
One advantage that Ekso has is that the suit operates off battery power, so it doesn't need to be tethered to a power source. Ekso designed its exoskeleton from the start as a low-power device, explains Angold: currently, its battery can power the suit for a couple of hours, but that number could go up if the company can take advantage of advances in the cell phone and laptop industry.
For any type of suit, the power supply is a key issue. The "Warrior Web" suit, according to Darpa, should not require "more than 100 Watts of electric power from the battery source." For the exoskeleton, the energy challenge is greater. "Ironman got it right with the Arc reactor," says Angold. "It really comes down to the power supply."

- Boulder businessman Austin Veith pleads guilty to theft, securities fraud in $450K scam

- Boulder judge: Securities fraud case can proceed against Austin Veith
A Boulder man has been arrested in New York and brought back to Colorado to face felony charges of defrauding investors out of nearly half a million dollars -- money that prosecutors say was spent at restaurants, ski resorts and casinos.
An arrest affidavit released Friday details allegations that Austin Slattery Veith, 32, raised millions of dollars over the last couple of years to fund Internet start-ups -- with the founders of online luggage giant eBags among his biggest investors -- and diverted about $450,000 to his personal accounts.
He used the money to pay rent on a $10,000-a-month apartment in New York City and a $4,500-a-month "party house" in Breckenridge, the document states.
Prosecutors also cite bank records that show Veith wiring nearly $85,000 of investor funds to various Las Vegas casinos to feed an extensive gambling habit and spending $23,532 of ill-gotten funds in November 2009 alone on clothes, ski lift tickets, hotels, Apple iTunes and plane tickets.
He faces four felony counts of securities fraud and a felony count of theft of more than $20,000.
"What is alleged is that he raised money for the company, but spent it on personal matters," Chris Zenisek, assistant Boulder County district attorney, said Friday. "Like many of the cases we handle in the economic crimes unit, the allegations are very serious."
Veith, who once owned former Boulder tanning salon Sol Tan, started up online frequent flier mileage tracking website UsingMiles.com in 2008 with a former classmate at the University of Colorado business school.
The pair used $12,000 in seed money they attained after graduating from the Boulder TechStars entrepreneurial program to help launch UsingMiles, the affidavit states.
TechStars mentor Brett Jackson told investigators he invested $50,000 in Veith's venture. Jackson couldn't be reached for comment Friday.
One of Veith's earliest and biggest believers was Jon Nordmark, founder and former head of eBags, who continues to head UsingMiles as its CEO.
Nordmark and several other investors in his inner social circle invested $150,000 in UsingMiles, according to the affidavit.
"This money went directly to Veith, and Nordmark had no idea where Veith put the money," the document states.
In 2010, Nordmark paid $25,000 for a patent on a new online digital used music and book website that Veith was pitching, dubbed UsedTunes.com. The site exists but isn't operational.
Nordmark couldn't be reached Friday.
Besides Nordmark, prosecutors say that eBags co-founder Peter Cobb also invested $50,000 in UsingMiles.
Eventually iSherpa, a Greenwood Village-based capital venture firm, put $2 million into the online venture.
But by late last year, Nordmark and others discovered that third-party developers for the website hadn't been paid in months and that money was missing, prosecutors said.
Around the same time, some of Veith's closest investors and business partners found out that while they were investing with Veith, he had been on probation for a financial fraud he committed in 2006.
In that case, Veith had been accused of defrauding his boss at a Lafayette restaurant of more than $18,000. He pleaded guilty to theft in 2008 and was barred from engaging in business transactions without the approval of his probation officer.
Veith is being held in Boulder County Jail in lieu of a $200,000 bond and is scheduled to be charged Tuesday.

Oh man,
I got so many emails begging for TrafficTwister V3 to release again … A really old bot, but it seems that users still beg for it.
Anyway, ok: I will release V3 again, fresh compiled, for free, like before.
It does NOT contain traffic exchange like current V8.x versions, so you only create hits to your own website, under your own control. Quick and dirty.
Another reason is, that there are some download links for Traffic Twister V3 out there, which are malicious and contain virus/trojans/malware etc.
Those versions were NEVER made by me, they seemed to be hacked or "hooked" with some malware, don't know and I don't want to try it out.
So you will have a fresh and clean version again of V3 soon … I expect to release it on January 15th finally!

Donald Trump, Kim Jong-Un Impersonators Ejected From Opening Ceremony
posted by Bill Galluccio -
A pair of impersonators showed up to the Opening Ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea dressed as United States President Donald Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong-un. Their stay did not last long as they were quickly escorted out by security according to Reuters.
The two men, who were not named, joked they were "getting along great." They told Reuters "we wanted to surprise everyone and bring world peace."
They said it was "really unfair" that they were removed from the venue by security.
"We wanted to surprise everyone and bring world peace and then we're being escorted out by security guards, which I think is really unfair," he added. "Doesn't everyone want peace?"
The two impersonators were quite popular as they posed for photos, including one where they were seen fist bumping. Photographers even followed the pair as security escorted them from the stadium.

brandable...the kinda thing you can see a big corporation owning...
Because the site revolves around our main sponsors 2ksports I'm thinking it makes sense to use the colours of the red, white and black
Attached are the 2ksports logo which must be incorporated aswell as one of the event logos which is part of the tour the '2K SPORTS ELITE10'
One of the big requirements is that there needs to be a
2KSPORTSHOOPSTOUR.COM version and a HOOPSTOUR version (without the 2ksports logo) as I will need to use both.
The logo will be used as a watermark on video's as well so needs
to not be too detailed.
Feedback will be given on ALL designs, please feel free to ask
should you have any queries or are unsure about anything.
This is also an opportunity to secure further work as I will be
looking for regular design work in the future events and projects.

Kerry shoots high but ambitious first-year agenda as secretary of state awaits results
- Image 1 of 3
- Image 2 of 3
- Image 3 of 3
WASHINGTON – John Kerry has spent nearly half of his first year as secretary of state jumping on and off airplanes and diving headlong into some of the world's most difficult problems.
Since taking office Feb. 4, 2013, he has brought opposing sides to the negotiating table over Syria, Iran and Israel in high-stakes diplomatic gambles that promise big payouts but could fail with catastrophic results. Kerry's major initiatives remain works in progress and so far they have yielded few concrete results. They have opened him up to criticism not only from expected political foes but also from traditional friends and allies.
"Incomplete" may be the most appropriate grade to give to his first 12 months on the job.
When the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee reported for duty at the State Department, brandishing the diplomatic passport he was issued as a child, he hinted at an ambitious agenda.
"What other job can you have where you get up every day and advance the cause of nation and also keep faith with the ideals of your country on which it is founded and most critically, meet our obligations to our fellow travelers on this planet?" he asked his new employees. "That's as good as it gets."
Replacing Hillary Rodham Clinton would not be easy — "I have big heels to fill," he joked — but the son of a diplomat, who developed his taste for international relations as a boy in post-war Europe, made it clear he would try. At the time, perhaps only a few realized just how hard.
Of Kerry's 365 days on the job, 152 have been spent on the road. He has flown more than 327,000 miles aboard his converted Air Force 757 to push Obama administration's foreign policy objectives. That's 114,000 more miles than Clinton logged in her first year and the equivalent of nearly 900 miles per day or 13 times around the earth's circumference.
Some might say he has turned the staid art of diplomacy into a contact sport.
"He's the Energizer Bunny of American foreign policy," said Aaron David Miller, a former diplomat who served under six secretaries of state and is now an analyst at the Wilson Center, a Washington think-tank. "He's in the middle of every mix. He is risk-ready, not risk averse. He believes in diplomacy and he believes in himself."
With his career in politics behind him, Kerry no longer has to worry about the vagaries of voters.
Maybe more importantly, he has been freed from the constraints under which many presidents' first-term secretaries of state operate. While the White House exerted near total control over all the big issues facing Clinton during President Barack Obama's first four years, it has given Kerry largely free rein as it focuses on burnishing the commander-in-chief's domestic legacy.
Kerry has embraced that freedom and even policy critics are hard-pressed to question the passion and vigor he has brought to the job.
Last November, Sen. John McCain likened the secretary of state to a "human wrecking ball," which is far from an accusation of inertia.
Yet, questions abound about what he is pursuing with such passion.
Despite Kerry's intense diplomatic efforts, conditions in Syria continue to deteriorate and the government has yet to live up to its hard-extracted promise to give up its chemical weapons stocks. Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians are nearing a nine-month target for a deal with little sign of progress. And difficult negotiations to get Iran to address international concerns over its nuclear program have not yet begun amid deep skepticism about any rapprochement with Iran, both in Congress and among allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Kerry has bounced around Europe and the Middle East so much he has quipped that his visits are becoming a "commute." The manic travel pace has become part of his rejection of the growing sense that the administration's foreign policy, particularly on the Middle East, has become disjointed and lacks broad vision.
"I think the only person more surprised than I am by the myth of this disengagement is the Air Force pilot who flies the secretary of state's plane," he told business executives last month at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
At the same time, where Kerry isn't or hasn't been is also an issue.
While he has traversed the Atlantic more than a dozen times as secretary of state, Asia experts lament that Kerry's focus on the Middle East has distracted from the administration's oft-stated ambition to rebalance to the Pacific Rim. A trio of foreign policy heavyweights from President George W. Bush's tenure warned earlier this month that "friends and foes" are watching "to see whether the United States really has staying power in Asia." Current officials counter that Kerry will soon be making his fifth trip to Asia and Obama plans a visit there this spring.
Of the 39 countries Kerry has been to as secretary of state, just one — Ethiopia — has been in sub-Saharan Africa. He has visited only three countries — Brazil, Guatemala and Colombia — in Latin America in his first year on the job.
Kerry supporters are quick to dismiss concerns that his itineraries reflect neglect of certain regions or issues.
"Whether it is the four trips to Asia he has already taken, his work with regional partners to put the necessary pressure on North Korea or the daily calls about the situation on the ground in South Sudan over the Christmas holiday, Secretary Kerry has been deeply engaged in issues all over the world," his spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
"He also has a team of talented Assistant Secretaries, he remains in constant contact with, who are working every day to move the agenda forward," she added.
The secretary's impressive travel records, however, are not guarantees of success, as even his backers allow.
On his three signature issues, Iran, Syria and the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Kerry has devoted a substantial amount of time, energy and jet fuel to set in motion a series of processes.
Scoring better than "incomplete" will require actual outcomes.

weight watcher recipes
I think it's ok to re-visit your favorite recipes. I've had this recipe on my blog once before. I made this using my favorite Enchilada sauce ever. Sure…. I could go and make my own (which I'd like to try someday), but this is so much easier. It's a very spicy Enchilada sauce and I get at least 2 jars of it, whenever I go to Minneapolis to visit my brother. Sometimes, he'll even bring me home a whole list of Trader Joe's stuff that I send to him. Doesn't he sound like the nicest brother ever?
You can do a lot with this kind of recipe. Instead of enchiladas you could make a chicken pot pie or pizza. Add some beans or corn to the beef mixture to get some more fiber in. I haven't tried the chicken pot pie or pizza version yet, but I think that might have to be on the menu for next week. A chicken pot pie sounds good right now.
I think this photo is a lot better than what my food photography used to be. See the old version here.
Note: Pictures of recipe instructions updated as of 5/2/2012. I was getting so many questions about the recipe I decided to update the post.
Start off with browning some ground turkey or beef, whichever you prefer.
Open a can of biscuits and cut the biscuits into 4ths, like the picture shows above.
Add in your favorite jar/can of enchilada sauce. Or if you're feeling up to it make your own. Here you can also add in other ingredients to, like corn or black beans.
Layer your biscuits on the bottom of the dish and spread the biscuits out.
Add in the beef mixture on top of the biscuits.
Then top it with some cheese and bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 350. Serve with your favorite taco toppings.
Bubble Up Enchiladas – Weight Watcher Recipes (Part 2)
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
- 1 (8oz ) can of tomato sauce (this optional, I do not use this but the recipe says to add it in with the enchilada sauce)
- 1 16 oz can reduced fat refrigerator biscuits
- 1 ¼ cups shredded low fat Mexican Cheese
- Extra Ingredients
- Green Onions, black olives, salsa, etc.
- Fat Free Sour Cream
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown turkey and drain if needed. Mix in a can of enchilada sauce and tomato sauce. Cut the refrigerated biscuits into fourths and stir them in the meat mixture. Then you just dump it all in a greased casserole (I use 8 X 11) and bake for 25 minutes until the biscuits are cooked through. Usually I use a tooth pick to see if the biscuits are done. Take out of oven and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

While watching the Republican National Convention, I've been tinkering with what I'd want in a research log. You can see the results above. My first decision revolved around information that I would want in a table or out of a table.
Information Out of the Table
I chose to place what I identified as unique information in running text.
- Name of Person: A Text form field with a limit of 40 characters for the name of the person for whom I'm chasing information.
- Information: A Drop-down form field with the following selections: Birth, Marriage, Death, Burial, Census. This list includes the type of information that I might be searching for. You might have other types of information to add to your list.
- Source Citation: A Text form field with no character limit. After I've located the document, photograph, or whatever, I can write a citation for the item that I will use to prove my point. When I get ready to use the citation in an article or book, I can select it and copy and paste it into that document. To paste the citation as running text, I'm going to use Paste Special to paste without form field formatting. If you don't remember how to do that task, see Grabbing Text from the Net. This post talks about getting rid of HTML coding. What I don't mention in the post is that Paste Special will remove any hidden coding, including form field formatting.
I chose to place what I identified as repeating information in a table.
- Date: A Text form field formatted as a date. This date is when I went looking for information. In this example, I added a date to show the format.
- Repository Type: A Drop-down form field with the following selections: Archive, Library, Online, Oral History. I could have added Court House, Ancestry.com, Genealogy Society.
- Repository Name: A Text form field with a limit of 40 characters.
- Results: A Drop-down form field with the following selections: Found, Not Found, Bible Entry, Certificate, Newspaper Announcement, Obituary, Other, Pension (Military), Will.
- Abstract: A Text form field with no character limit. Abstracts are short descriptions of the contents of a document. For a long article, an abstract can provide a reminder of why a document is important.
- Analysis: A Text form field with no character limit. This space is where I would evaluate the reliability of the information I've found.
Table Formatting
In the graphic above the table doesn't span the entire page. I've set the table up to expand based on the information entered in the table--the auto fit option. If you don't remember how to use this option, see Table It!...Part 2 for more information.
Doing It All Again
In the graphic above you'll also notice that the entire form (except for the words Research Log) repeats. I've assumed that I'm going to chase more than one piece of information (Birth, Marriage, Death, Burial, Census) for the same person. I can use the same research log to chase more than one piece of information. I just need to copy and paste the form block and complete it for each type information. I would have one file with all of my notes about information I'm chasing for the one person.
In addition, I've left the Name of Person field in place so that when a block moves to a new page, the name goes with it. I could also add a footer or header with page numbering. You include these types of elements for a log you plan to print.
In actual use, I can see myself enabling and disabling protection as I need to copy and paste new rows or entire form blocks as I chase new pieces of information.
Getting a Copy of the Research Log
If you like the looks of the log I've created and you want a copy, please email me and I'll send it to you. Please just remember to tell me what version of Word you are using. Write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Democratic National Convention
I'm sure to be parked in front of the TV watching this one too. Perhaps it will inspire me to create another form. We'll see what I can come up with.
As always, please post comments and questions.

The Halloween season is officially upon us, and moviegoers appear to be getting into the spirit by checking out the found-footage horror of Paranormal Activity 3.
The third film in the popular Paranormal Activity franchise not only won its opening weekend, but it also set a record for the most successful opening weekend of all time by a horror film (as tallied by Box Office Mojo). The movie raked in around $54 million this weekend, coming in first at the box office and replacing its predecessor as the most successful horror film of all time in its opening weekend.
The film, which serves as a prequel of sorts to Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2, also set an October record for opening weekends, beating last year's Jackass 3-D for the title. Paranormal Activity 3 is directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the directors of last year's creepy pseudo-documentary Catfish.
The film also continued the franchise's trend of finding success despite relatively low budgets. After the first Paranormal Activity cost just $15,000 to make and grossed $107 million domestically, Paranormal Activity 3 reportedly cost $5 million to make and has already made a hefty profit over the production costs.
Of course, it's worth noting that none of the Paranormal Activity films crack the Top 5 in highest grossing horror movies overall (Paranormal Activity comes in at #7, and Paranormal Activity 2 at #11), though the third film is certainly off to a good start. Currently, The Sixth Sense ranks as the highest-grossing horror film of all time in U.S. theaters ($293 million), with The Exorcist in second place ($232 million).

Is there a Parkinson's-pesticide link?
When it comes to protecting your vision, what you eat may affect what you see. Certain vitamins and minerals found in food may play a role in preventing cataracts, cloudy areas in the lens of the eye, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that causes vision loss in the macula, the part of the eye that controls central vision. Nutrients to look for:
Lutein, zeaxanthin: Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, corn, eggs, kale, nectarines, oranges, romaine lettuce, spinach, squash
Omega-3 fatty acids: Flaxseed, halibut, salmon, tuna, walnuts
Vitamin A: Apricots, cantaloupe (raw), carrots, mangos, red peppers (raw), ricotta cheese (part-skim), spinach, sweet potatoes
Vitamin C: Grapefruit, kiwi, oranges, strawberries
Vitamin E: Almonds, broccoli, peanut butter, spinach
Zinc: Chickpeas, oysters, pork chops, red meat, yogurt
You don't have to suffer from rosacea, consider this advice from dermatologist Dr. Kenneth Arndt, a Harvard Medical School professor.
Use topical treatments. "The most effective gels, creams and lotions contain either metronidazole or azeleic acid. They should keep rosacea under control with continued use."
Treat rosacea on the inside, too. "Very low doses of antibiotics are effective in controlling rosacea's inflammation. The dosage is much lower than would be used for a bacterial infection, so the potential side effects are minimized or absent."
Eliminate dilated blood vessels with lasers. Effective treatments include the pulsed dye laser (yellow light), pulsed green-light laser and intense pulsed light.
Use diet to avoid flare-ups. "Do everything possible to avoid triggers such as spicy foods as well as thermally hot food and drink – it's the heat that causes flushing, not the coffee itself."
More than a million Americans have Parkinson's disease, which is more than the number of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, and Lou Gehrig's disease combined.
Parkinson's kills brain cells that produce dopamine, a nerve-signaling chemical that helps control muscle movement, resulting in tremors and impaired movement and balance. But the triggers for this neurodegenerative condition aren't well understood. A growing amount of research suggests that exposure to pesticides may increase the risk for Parkinson's. Now an analysis of more than 100 studies from around the world offers more evidence. The findings, published in Neurology, suggest that exposure to bug and weed killers is associated with a 33 to 80 percent increase in risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
"This is important; if we know more about what may be contributing to Parkinson's, we can create better treatments and develop better ways to prevent it," says Dr. Suzanne Salamon, a geriatrician and instructor at Harvard Medical School.
"If you use pesticides, you should actually read and carefully follow the safety instructions on the label when handling and applying them," says neurologist Dr. Michael Schwarzschild, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School. These instructions usually call for wearing protective clothing, including rubber gloves, and washing well afterward to minimize exposure, especially ingestion."
Practicing mindfulness-based meditation might help reduce inflammation in people with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, finds a study published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity.
Stress is a key component in these diseases. Mindfulness meditation is a stress-relieving technique that induces relaxation by focusing awareness on breathing, thoughts, and body sensations. The study included 49 people, most of them women, who took part in either mindfulness meditation or a general wellness program for eight weeks.
The researchers then placed the participants in a stress-inducing situation. When the researchers measured markers of inflammation and stress, people in the meditation group had less of an inflammatory response than those in the wellness program group.
Mindfulness meditation is not a cure for stress-related inflammation, but it may offer an addition to standard treatments.
