Transfer news: Luis Suarez says ambition driving Liverpool exit plans
Luis Suarez says he will consider all offers to leave Liverpool as he wants to compete at the highest possible level.
Last Updated: 14/07/13 5:26pm
The Uruguay international has expressed a desire to leave Anfield after becoming disillusioned with life in England.
He has been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea, but Spanish giants Real Madrid are considered to the frontrunners in the race for his signature.
Liverpool are reluctant to let the unsettled striker leave, with boss Brendan Rodgers in 'constant communication' with the South American, but Suarez has reiterated that he will push for a move if he can further his career elsewhere.
He said: "If I receive an important offer to progress my career, I will study it. Some clubs have asked about me but I hand questions over to my agent. I am no stranger to rumours.
"I always want to improve. That's why I left Ajax for Liverpool.
"But this club needs to fight to enter the Champions League and, when it doesn't happen, it damages the morale of any player. So I've suffered.
"It is hard to view the Premier League every week with never a chance of winning it.
"On top of that, the English media do not understand me. The controversies with (Patrice) Evra and (Branislav) Ivanovic were decisive. There are always extra questions when people analyse me.
"After the Evra incident, it was very difficult to convince people about the 'real' Luis Suarez. Things had improved but then the incident involving Ivanovic was another blow.
"Had that not happened, perhaps I would have been regarded as the best Premier League player last season."

Contract administration
What is contract administration?
For the purposes of prevailing wage, contract administration is an obligation to ensure that a contract is administered in accordance with the Minnesota Prevailing Wage Act, the Federal Davis-Bacon and Related Acts and the Special Provisions Division A – LABOR.
Who is responsible for contract administration?
The contracting agency or its agent, along with the prime contractor is responsible to administer a contract in accordance with its terms and conditions. Failure to do so may result in financial, civil or criminal sanctions.
What documents must be incorporated into a proposal or contract?
There are prevailing wage-related documents that must be incorporated into a state-aid and/or federal-aid construction proposal and contract. Documents to incorporate into a proposal or contract instructions
What are the requirements for subcontracting portions of the work?
- The prime contractor shall not subcontract any portion of the work under a contract unless a Request to Sublet Form (PDF) is submitted and approved by the contracting agency or project engineer 10 days prior to the subcontractor commencing work. Written consent to subcontract, assign, or otherwise dispose of any portion of the contract shall not under any circumstances relieve the prime contractor of liabilities and obligations under the contract and bonds.
- The contracting agency and the prime contractor shall utilize the Request to Sublet Summary Form (Excel) to document the total percentage of the contract that's been sublet. This document is necessary to ensure compliance with MnDOT Standard Specification 1801.
- In order for a subcontractor to receive approval to perform work under a MnDOT contract, the contractor must be listed in MnDOT's Contractor/Vendor database. To be added to this database the contractor is must submit a Contractor/Vendor Form (PDF) to MnDOT's Office of Construction and Innovative Contracting.
Why is a preconstruction meeting important for Prevailing Wage?
A preconstruction meeting is necessary to provide contractors with a comprehensive overview of the contract prevailing wage requirements. The MnDOT Labor Compliance Unit suggests that the contracting agency show and discuss the prevailing wage video and agendas. Once the presentation is completed, the contracting agency or the project engineer should record it in the meeting minutes. The LCU has estimated the presentation time to be 15 minutes.
A sub-contractor care package containing all pertinent information and forms is available.
Why is interviewing workers on a project important?
Interviewing workers on the project site of work is necessary to ensure that all workers are compensated appropriately. The information collected should be compared to a certified payroll report to determine if compliance has been demonstrated.
The contracting agency and the prime contractor shall utilize the Field Compliance Review on Labor Provisions Form (PDF) to conduct employee interviews and the Field Compliance Review on Independent Truck Owner/Operator (PDF) to conduct interviews with truck drivers. The information collected must be kept confidential.
At any time, the prime contractor must permit representatives from the U.S. DOL, the Federal Highway Administration, or the contracting agency to perform worker interviews on the project; the time for such interviews shall be paid time.
Why should daily work reports be kept?
A daily work report is necessary to document the following: contractors that performed work, when the contractors started and finished their work, the number of workers for each contractor, the type of work that each contractor performed and the types of equipment that the contractor utilized. The information collected should be compared to a certified payroll report to determine if compliance has been demonstrated.
Why should the contracting agency call Labor Compliance prior to finalizing a contract?
The contracting agency shall contact the MnDOT Labor Compliance unit prior to finalizing its contract to ensure that no labor issues are associated with the contract. Failure to do so could subject the contracting agency to financial sanctions or legal actions.
What is the Contract Administration Manual?
The Contract Administration Manual provides guidance to contracting agencies on how to administer a contract. In regards to prevailing wage, the contracting agency shall refer sections 5-591.310, 5-591.320 and 5-591.360. However, the guidance provided does not necessarily represent all contract administration strategies, nor does it cover all federal, state, and local labor laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. It is the responsibility of the contracting agency to inform itself about other regulations that may be applicable to a contract.
Can I view a complete proposal for a highway construction project?
Yes. A contractor can view a complete proposal for a MnDOT highway construction project. However, for projects not administered by MnDOT but instead by local units of government, such as a county or city are not available, please contact the local unit of government directly for this information.
As the contracting authority, what do I do when the contractor will not comply with the Contract Labor Provisions?
If you have a contractor that has not complied with your written requests to resolve issues involving your contract labor provisions (e.g. payrolls issues, wage rates, misclassification, etc.), you should complete the Investigation Request Letter form (PDF). The letter should be signed, scanned, and submitted by email along with all appropriate documentation and correspondence surrounding the issue(s) to MnDOT's Labor Compliance Unit. The LCU would like the documents individually scanned and labeled as this information will be uploaded into our electronic Case Management System and used by the investigators in resolving the issues on your contracts. Once the investigation is resolved, the LCU will notify you that the Labor Hold can be removed. Please follow your normal retainage and contract closeout processes but do not final your contract until the Labor Hold in removed.

Tips for Picking Companies that Buy Houses for fast Cash
If you are in a situation where you are struggling finally or you need to sell your house fast, it is important that you do your homework in order to find reputable real estate investor. With these factors in mind, you will be able to select the right investor.
There are many scams posing as investors in the market today, therefore, before you close a deal with the investor that you have in mind, do some research online. By doing research on the buyer, you will be able to determine if you are dealing with people who are trustworthy. A trustworthy company will have positive reviews and testimonials from past clients and they will not hesitate to provide you with references. Be sure to contact Better Business Bureau so you check if the investor has good ratings and a good track record.
In addition, finding out if the company is legitimate is vital. For instance, a legitimate company will ensure that they display the name on their website. Besides, reputable companies will put their contact details and address on their website to make it easy to trace them when you have a problem.
You can narrow your list by only choosing cash buyers who operate locally. It is advisable not to go for companies that across the region or in other state, rather, consider those who are in your state. Local investors will use their knowledge and familiarity of the area to give you a better deal for your house. Besides, you can meet them in-person so you can explain your situation and be assured that they will help you sell your house fast.
Before you sell your house to a cash buyer, you need to inquire about their experience buying houses in the real estate industry. Companies that are experienced in buying homes for cash will be able to fasten the entire process and ensure that your all your needs are met. Also, with their extensive knowledge of the industry, they will be able to provide you with great opportunities especially if you are looking to buy another property.
Know the source of funds of the investor looking to buy your house fast for cash. Only choose companies that have acquired their money legitimately, for instance from investors or house selling. In addition, you want home buying investors who have enough cash to make the offer. If they don't, they will only delay the buying process or they may not close the deal at all.
The other tip is to ensure that the quick house sale company provides you with fast closing. After the quick sale buyers have done a valuation, they should provide you with an offer. Lastly, find out exactly the type of services they are going to offer you such as free valuation.

Two's company, three's a team – Making it all work!
From those registered to participate in the Cisco 'Think Inside the Box' Developer Contest, among the most frequent questions we've received of a non-technical nature have to do with two aspects (i) Intellectual property and (ii) Team composition.Given the nature of the contest, questions on intellectual property are highly understandable. We've tried to clarify the variations on IP through individual responses via e-mail, and also put on a blog on it some time ago. See "A Question of IP"Again, questions on team structure and composition are also very natural and several variations have resulted, including:• Can we change our team composition midway through the contest?• Can I add more members to the team?• Do I need a team? What should be the profile of the team members?• What if there are more than 3 team members?• Can a company submit its IP for this contest? What if extended team members have worked on the concept?• Can we have team members across different geographies?• Can a team submit multiple proposals?• And quite a few others of a similar nature…As with any contest, the variations to accommodate the requirements of the select few have to be balanced with the ability to operationally administer a contest for the broader populace. The answers to most of the questions can be found in the terms and conditions.While the nuances of team composition and dynamics are different with each team, a team will benefit from bringing in different perspectives into the play. While the contest is primarily for application developers, these applications reside on the Integrated Services Router which performs a pivotal role in branch networks. So, understanding the branch problem space, and applications therein are likely to help you provide better proposals that are not only innovative, but practical as well. Cisco's Dave Frampton suggested as much, a previous blog. We've predominantly found two constituents who approach this contest, often from opposite ends of the spectrum, but they end up finding middle ground. The first set is that of Linux programmers and application developers. The second is Network and IT solution architects. On the contest website, you'll find some approaches to both sets alongwith some resources that provide complementary perspectives.Some individuals want to go alone, and not want to split the prize money, should they win. Of course, this is entirely possible and all the more power to such individuals. While it is possible for an individual to wear multiple hats, it does help to bring in people with the relevant domain expertise in some capacity within your team. Not mandatory, but practical.In the end, whatever the team composition, what will work is for you to keep the dynamics within your team positive, and keep the interaction ongoing. When in doubt about the contest logistics, team structure, or a technical query to formulate your proposal, you may feel free to reach out to us. Respond with your questions and comments on the Innovation Blog, use our developer forums or just e-mail us at "email@example.com". Our teams are usually quick to respond. They call themselves the contest concierge.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Basics are always good. If you've a well-rounded team, you're certainly in luck. We find that to be the exception than the rule. Good luck!

The team structure guidelines are quite helpful. Fortunately, our team has well rounded developers. We are supplementing our knowledge through Cisco publications. Re-learning basic from high school.

Jumping for joy
Spontaneity and passion made the Minnesota Orchestra's two Proms under Osmo Vänskä a refreshing listen
There's a scene in the 1980s Jack Nicholson film, The Witches of Eastwick, in which the mystic music teacher, Susan Sarandon, pirouettes joyously around the classroom while her kids – usually a talentless bunch – spontaneously play Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik from memory, accelerating to fever pitch under her spell.
I only mention because it came momentarily to mind this week while watching Osmo Vänskä conduct Beethoven's Ninth Symphony – not the players, though you'll find similarly surprising levels of spontaneity in the Minnesota Orchestra's playing – but more that moment of magic when, having cast a spell, the conductor takes a step back – literally – and relishes the results. Vänskä brings real passion to the podium.
At times he jumps so vigorously his feet leave the platform; others he crouches almost to his knees in order to achieve the softest of pianissimos; and where the music dances, so too does Vänskä, arms outstretched and limbs ungainly, like a waltzing marionette carried by the sound.
The results in each of the Minnesota Orchestra's two concerts made for thoroughly engaging listening. On the Friday they brought their full-bodied sound to an early programmatic essay by Barber – Music for a Scene from Shelley – and provided sterling support for Alisa Weilerstein through the caustic monologues of the Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1, followed by Bruckner's Fourth Symphony.
On the Saturday, they brought their unanimity of sentiments and sensitivity to violinist Gil Shaham's free-flowing delivery of the Berg Concerto, but it was perhaps Vänskä 's ability to inject fire and precision into Beethoven's warhorse, the Ninth Symphony, that was most impressive – it all sounded so incredibly fresh.
If I had any gripes about the Beethoven, they were about its odd mix of soloists – the soprano Helena Juntunen's operatic delivery almost derailing the melody at one point in the Finale – and the BBC Symphony Chorus simply lacked the added power when it was required. One wonders how much time they had had to rehearse.
Nevertheless, Vänskä showed why the Minnesota Orchestra's has become a sound to be reckoned with since he took up the baton there in 2003. Perhaps my only other regret was that he could not have arrived 24 hours earlier to save us from the BBC Symphony Orchestra's performance of Sibelius's Second Symphony under David Robertson – routine by most standards, pedestrian by Vänskä's.

Agreed. 120 off 100 with Misbah in, and Razzaq and Afridi to come is very very possible.
"I am very happy and it will allow me to have lot more rice."
Eoin Morgan on being given a rice cooker for being Man of the Match in a Dhaka Premier Division game.
The other mistake Pakistan made at that stage was to send in Razzaq instead of Afridi. Razzaq tends to take time to get set, and is much better against pace than spin. Afridi prefers to blast the spinners. Even if Afridi had come in and made his usual 25(18) or something at that stage, it would have given Misbah, Razzaq and the tail a decent chance with most of the overs remaining to come from the quicker bowlers.
I don't get why people think Razzaq ahead of Afridi was a mistake.
Razzaq was given time to get in. Even if he couldn't rotate the strike, if he got his eye in it would have been dangerous. In the end he was bowled by a slower ball.
Afridi is better suited to coming in and going from ball one. If Razzaq had paid off it was likely that Afridi would have had to come in with 7-8 rpo needed and had to go from ball one. Razzaq didn't have to go from ball one. He just had to not get out. But he did.
Have a look at this :
Misbah's mystery innings
Misbah-ul-Haq's strike rate at the end of his innings was 73.68; Tendulkar's rate for his 85 was 73.91. That, perhaps, is as good an example as any to illustrate the fact that stats without context is meaningless. Misbah's inexplicable go-slow through the first half of his innings resulted in the asking rate climbing to unmanageable proportions, and it also forced the other batsmen to take risks that might otherwise have been unnecessary. He tried to make up for it later, but apart from helping him reach a personal landmark and improving his strike-rate, his late hits counted for little.
Overall, Misbah played out 42 dot balls, which was the most among Pakistan's batsmen. In his first 42 balls, he scored only 17 and played 27 dots. During this period, Pakistan's asking rate went up from 6.07 to 8.45. Younis Khan's sluggish innings didn't help either - add his 13 from 32 balls to Misbah's 17 in his first 42, and Pakistan have every reason to feel their two most experienced batsmen didn't serve them well: in those 74 balls, the two batsmen got a grand total of 30 runs, with no boundaries. Even with the power-hitters to follow, that was a bridge too far.

I would agree that he wasn't the sole reason for defeat, as is being suggested by some. Younis Khan and Mohammad Hafeez also deserve criticism.
All said and done, I am very happy Misbah played the way he did.

yeah Razzaq over Afridi was a decent decision but Razzaq never looked like scoring a run through out his stsay at the crease was not surprised when he got out
Razzaq batting ahead of Afridi was fair enough. I believe there was quite a lot of pressure on Afridi to bat below Razzaq after the Australia game.
Misbah is the 3rd greatest thing since sliced bread.
The first being Imran Khan.
The 2nd being Afridi.
When he came on, Misbah himself had been in for just a few delivers (1 run off 3 balls, looking it up). Half way through Umar Akmal's innings, they were:
Misbah-ul-Haq 7* (12b)
Umar Akmal 18* (17b 1x4 1x6)
and at one end Nehra & Munaf were clamping down both batsmen (yes, Umar too played a few dot balls in a row and never got more than a single against those two). and at the other end Yuvraj was bowling mostly to Umar, who was taking him to the cleaners - 21 runs in 2 overs. Of course Yuvi was replaced by Harbhajan, who completely beat Umar first ball - not getting out to a slog or a risky shot, just didnt have a clue what Harbhajan had just bowled (a faster arm ball). Oh yeah, there were drinks right before Harbhajan came to bowl too...
Then Razzaq & Afridi too were not able to score against the seamers (Zaheer was brought on for Afridi). Yeah statistics don't tell the story - NOBODY in the Pakistani line up was scoring against the seamers (Nehra, then Patel, then Zaheer) in that passage of play from Umar Akmal coming in and Afridi getting out in which 3 wickets were lost and which basically turned the match from being in balance to decided.
Against the spinners, in that same period Misbah was 15 runs from 19 balls.In those 7 overs from Nehra+Patel+Zaheer there were no boundaries and only one ball went for 2 runs and those overs went for 19 runs total.

Interesting, while we were all repeating the cliche about Pakistan not being able to rotate strike against spinners, it seems it was the fast bowlers they were struggling to get away. Shows what I know.
yeah don't think Misbah should be help responsible for Umer's wicket the idea was right trying to milk an off spinner on the leg side got done by a skidder happens its cricket.Misbah direness was after Umer's wicket he was relativley in when Umer went should have just upped his s/r which would have allowed the new batsman to get in.

I have about 5 or 6 sessions on my speed 4 10m; I have flown it in some really light wind but also in some strong (30+ knots) wind in really gusty conditions and that kite is just amazing. The more I fly it, the more I love it.
I also heard that the bigger speed 4 will have a higher AR than the 8 and 10 meter. They made them with Lower AR to cope with high and gusty conditions.
Flysurfer have done an amazing job on these 2 kites. It is the first time that I actually have a lot of fun with a foil in really strong and gusty conditions. Great range, amazing high end, Rock solid, loops on a dime, no more bow-tie... actually I think that even people who always hated foils could really like these 2 kites.

I actually have a question for you:In the clip from The Happening featuring John Leguizamo (its on youtube...and in spanish, called "El Incidente Clip 2" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-LvtOaDNXU]), what is the track that plays during that scene?
Ok, if you want virgin ears and a virgin mindset when you go into the movie for the first time, or if you're holding out until closer to the movie's release to listen to the score, don't read any further. I have listened to the score for The Happening now (am actually finishing the last track as I type), and wanted to share my thoughts on the music. I know some of you are avoiding the score, and anything else in advance though, so be warned that if you are somebody like that you may not want to read any further. Now, for the rest of you that are still here, here are my thoughts on the score for The Happening. First off, here's my broad-stroke take on the music as a collective. As we all have sensed, and seen the signs of, The Happening is a movie that is going to be closer to The Sixth Sense than any of Night's other movies have been in regard to be scary and frightful, so it makes sense the the score will be closest to that one. Depending on what you look for in movie scores, or more specifically JNH - Shyamalan scores, this is either a good thing, or a let down. Like the score for The Sixth Sense, The Happening is dominated by scary underscore, and music that clearly will be more fitting in the film than on a solo listen. There is a singular theme, and you get it at the outset of the film, in the Main Titles (as noted on the soundtrack titling). However, it's not really what I would call a strong theme, not even as much as The Sixth Sense's was. It's not bad mind you, but it's very whimsical and meandering, and doesn't get a lot of play until towards the end of the CD. I think it's a theme that will likely fit the movie very well, but any time you have a movie where humankind is careening towards extinction like The Happening no doubt depicts, you can't expect even the main theme to have a lot of hope and optimism. I need to go shortly, so I'll probably go into more depth later. However, I will say that The last two tracks of the CD are the highlight of the score. Track 17, "Be With You" is no doubt the emotional climax of the film, and plays out very much that way. It's my favorite track for that reason, and would be the one I'd pull off to put on a compilation to represent the fim. Track 18, the "End Title Suite" is just that: a suite of music that is a pleasant listen. It even touches on music more positive than anything likely heard in the actual movie. Perhaps that represents that there is some reason for optimism at the end of the film. Bottom line for me at least, is that "The Happening" is probably down around "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable" as far as favorite JNH/Shyamalan scores, and not as memorable or complex as "Signs", "The Village", or "Lady in the Water". Still, it's sure to fit the movie well, and it's not a bad score as a stand alone by any means. I will go into more depth about it later, but for now I wanted to get this out there for people wondering, and considering whether to buy it themselves.
I've been trying to guess where the movie ends and the credits roll, but I'm not sure. My guess is the part where the chello fades out a little bit and starts playing very softly in the last track. What do you guys think?

You have probably heard about the Sikh Coalition's 16.99 Vaisakhi Campaign. But what is the historical significance of 1699? Consider the following extracts from the writings of historians Gopal Singh, Nikki-Guninder Kaur, and J.D. Cunningham:
"1699. It was on the first day of Vaisakh, mid-spring … that Guru Gobind Singh [the Tenth Sikh Guru] … decided finally to evolve a new order. Upto now, everyone, Hindu or Muslim, was welcome to the portals of the new faith, if he pledged to forego his caste exclusiveness, interdine, serve man irrespective of his creed and to believe only in one God, and discard all cant, superstition, and ritual. It was a society of the peaceful and the holy." [GS]
"But it was the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur (the Ninth Guru) in Delhi that finally consolidated the martial aspect of Sikhism. [Guru Teg Bahadur] challenged the policy of the Muslim rulers of converting Hindus by force, and for this defence of religious freedom he was executed in 1675. His son and successor … though only nine years of age then, provided vigorous leadership to the Sikhs. His first task was to infuse a new spirit among his people." [NGK]
"The Guru, therefore, decided to evolve an order which would keep as its ideal of life nothing but sacrifice for the cause of [righteousness], and would not accept slavery, either political, or social or economic. And, if for this they had to fight their way through, they wouldn't shirk the use of arms." [GS]
"Guru Gobind Singh fulfilled his aspiration for religious freedom in 1699 by inaugurating the Khalsa, the Order of the Pure. It was a casteless and self-abnegating body of Sikhs ready to take up arms to fight against oppression[.] Chanting verses from the Guru Granth [Sahib], Guru Gobind Singh began the initiation into the Khalsa by churning water, poured into a steel bowl, with a double-edged sword. His wife, Mata Sahib Kaur, came forward and dropped sugar crystals into the vessel. Sweetness through the feminine hand was thus mingled with the alchemy of iron." [NGK]
"The occasion marked a dramatic departure from the past. The five to whom the rites of initiation were administered by Guru Gobind Singh were given the surname of Singh, meaning 'lion' and were ever after to wear the emblems of the Khalsa, popularly known [today] as the Five Ks. These were Kesha or uncut hair; Kangha, a comb tucked into the Kesha to keep it tidy; Kara, a steel bracelet symbolizing strength and unity; Kachha, short breeches; and Kirpaan, a sword. Their rebirth into the new order represented the annihilation of their family (caste) lineage, of their confinement to a hereditary occupation, of all their earlier beliefs and creeds, and of the rituals they had so far observed. They were enjoined to help the weak and fight the oppressor. Guru Gobind Singh reiterated [the First Guru, Guru Nanak's] message to have faith in the One, and consider all human beings equal, irrespective of caste and religion." [NGK]
"This done, [the Guru] now stood before [his disciples] with folded hands, entreating them to administer the Amrit to him … [and] the Guru was administered Amrit the same way, much to the wonder of his devoted followers. It electrified the atmosphere as nothing else could. It is said many thousand persons were baptized thus on that day at their request[.]" [GS]
"Women were also to wear the five emblems of the Khalsa. As men received the surname Singh, women received the surname Kaur, signifying "princess," and they retained the name whether single or married. Thus the patriarchal structure of society was modified. Men and women no longer traced their lineage or occupation to the 'father'; as 'Singh' and 'Kaur' both became equal partners in the new family of Sikhism." [NGK]
"A living spirit possesses the whole Sikh people, and the impress of [Guru Gobind Singh] has not only elevated and altered the constitution of their minds but has operated materially and given amplitude to their physical frames. The features and external form of a whole people have been modified and a Sikh chief is not more distinguishable by his stately person and free and manly bearing than a minister of his faith is by a lofty thoughtfulness of look which marks the fervour of his soul and his persuasion of the near presence of the Divinity." [JDC]

|Target To Push Blu-ray Players This Fall
|Thursday, 26 July 2007
has announced a partnership with Sony to begin selling the entry-level
Sony BDP-S300 Blu-ray disc player in stores this Fall and holiday
season. The player, along with Blu-ray titles will be featured on aisle
endcaps in Target stores nationwide. The player will be available for
$499, along with Blu-ray titles from three Hollywood studios including
Sony, Disney, and another studio to be announced later.
While Sony is paying a premium price for the endcap promotion, Sony
suggests that it was Target that came to them with the idea. This
announcement comes about a month after Blockbuster made its
announcement that they would only continue to stock Blu-ray titles in
their brick and mortar stores. Blockbuster continues to rent the
competing HD DVD format via its online rental system.
Target currently sells HD DVD and Blu-ray titles in stores, and will continue to do so even while promoting the Blu-ray player. While Target has not been selling a stand-alone high definition player up until this point, it has been offering the Playstation 3, which is based on a Blu-ray player and can play Blu-ray movies. Target also sells the HD DVD add-on drive for the Microsoft Xbox 360 gaming system. Today, Microsoft Corp. has announced that it will be lowering the price of the HD DVD supplemental drive from $199 to $179, making this a viable option for many game enthusiasts.
The verdict is still out on the winner of the format war, however, this Fall and holiday season will play a critical role in the outcome. While Blu-ray is strongly promoting in Blockbuster and Target, HD DVD have their hands in Circuit City and Best Buy stores.
Both high definition camps are beginning to put much of their focus on the software title releases. While there are more titles available in Blu-ray, upcoming releases in both formats should provide an interesting face off. Blu-ray looks forward to releases of major blockbuster films, namely "Spider-Man 3" from Sony and "Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End" from Disney coming up this Fall on their format. Meanwhile HD DVD will be releasing "300" and the hit Sci-Fi TV series "Heroes: Season One" exclusively on the HD DVD format.

I. Procedures
This handbook sets forth minimum requirements to be followed in all master's theses and doctoral dissertations submitted to OhioLINK or to the Graduate School. For purposes of brevity and clarity, in this handbook the terms "thesis" and "theses" will be used to discuss both master's theses and doctoral dissertations. This handbook is basically a guide to format, not an exhaustive guide to style or to the process of developing and writing a thesis. Individual departments or programs may stipulate additional requirements, and, in matters of format, style, and procedure not specified in this handbook, students should seek the advice of their thesis directors. For matters not specified by this handbook, or by departments, you should consult the latest edition of A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations by Kate L. Turabian. It should be followed when departments do not specify a style manual. Other manuals can also be used, such as the American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual, The Modern Language Association of America (MLA) Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, the Chicago Manual of Style, etc. All of these manuals are available as library reference materials or they may be purchased at most bookstores. Also, the University Writing Center (031 Dunbar Library) sells reasonably priced mini-manuals, which provide basic format and citation information for APA and MLA styles. The important point to remember is that the thesis must be consistent in both the style employed and the format selected. If you have any questions or concerns about style and/or format, you should contact the Graduate School, E344 Student Union, telephone (937) 775-2976, or e-mail email@example.com.
Format Check
At your request, the Graduate School will make a format check of any thesis, or portion thereof, prior to final deposit. The format check should be submitted electronically to email@example.com. This review will evaluate the thesis for format and style as established in this handbook. This review is intended to minimize the likelihood of thesis rejection after the deposit deadline. However, it in no way guarantees the acceptability of the final copy. To allow ample time for completing the final deposit copy, you are advised to arrange for a format check well in advance of the deposit deadline. Format checks will be done as soon as possible, but please allow at least two (2) days for completion.
Final Deposit
OhioLINK requires that the ETD must be submitted in PDF format. One copy of the PDF thesis must be deposited at the OhioLINK ETD Center by going to https://www.ohiolink.edu/ not later than 30 days after the end of the semester in which the degree will be granted (due dates are published by the Graduate School and distributed to the departments and program offices). This final copy should follow the form prescribed in this handbook and should be carefully produced, free of errors in style, mechanics, and format
Instructions for submitting your ETD are on the OhioLINK Web site. You will be asked to create a user account and then provide identifying information about yourself, your department, and your ETD, and then you will be permitted to upload your pdf thesis to the OhioLINK site. If you have technical questions about putting your ETD together, converting it to a pdf document, or submitting it to OhioLINK, you should visit the Student Technology Assistance Center (STAC), 240 Paul Laurence Dunbar Library, Web: https://libraries.wright.edu/stac/, telephone: (937) 775-2656 for help and assistance. STAC's facilities are modern and up-to-date, its staff is helpful and professional, its hours of operation offer much flexibility, and its services are free.
The Graduate School is notified by OhioLINK when an ETD is deposited, and final approval is the Graduate School's responsibility, not OhioLINK's. Final copies will not be approved at OhioLINK if errors in format require corrections.
* The PDF file must include the typed thesis approval page, but without signatures.
* One (1) copy of the typed thesis approval page with signatures must be submitted to the Graduate School for filing. The ETD cannot be approved until the Graduate School receives the signed thesis approval page.
You should check with your advisor to determine if your department or program requires additional electronic or paper copies.
In cases where a thesis cannot be prepared as an ETD (e.g., some creative theses, etc.), the student may request a waiver to the ETD requirement by submitting an academic petition to the Graduate School in advance of the due date.

Spiral Stairs | 01/01/70
Spiral Stairs
precedes debut solo album 'The Real Feel'
with single 'Stolen Pills' on 12 October
On 12 October 2009 Scott Kannberg, AKA Spiral Stairs, formerly the front-man of Preston School of Industry and guitarist, singer and founding member of Pavement is to release his debut solo single on Domino. Called 'Stolen Pills', the single is a digital only release and is the first track to be lifted off his debut solo album, 'The Real Feel', which is out a week later on 19 October.
The albums' 10 songs, written in Seattle and Australia, have a loose, late-night vibe, soulful ache and charmingly vulnerable optimism. Tracks were recorded with some of his former bandmates in Preston School of Industry, including bassist Matt Harris and drummer Darius Minwalla, as well as Jon Auer (The Posies, Big Star) and friends in Australia.
The full album track listing is:
1 True Love
2 Call The Ceasefire
3 Cold Change
4 Subiaco Shuffle
5 Wharf-Hand blues
6 Maltese T
7 A Mighty Mighty Fall
8 Stolen Pills
9 The Real Feel
10 Blood Money
Spiral Stairs
Formerly the front-man of Preston School Of Industry, and guitarist, singer and founding member with Pavement, Scott Kannberg returns to our turntables with his first solo album, The Real Feel, credited to his long-running nom-du-rock, Spiral Stairs. "I guess Spiral Stairs is my name now," he laughs. "It had been so long since the last Preston School Of Industry album, it made sense to call this a Spiral Stairs record. Everybody knows me as Spiral, its weird when someone calls me 'Scott'. I'm not sure anyone knows who Scott Kannberg is."
Despite the pseudonym, however, The Real Feel is, lyrically, Spiral's most personal and honest recording yet, the songs' loose, late-night vibe, soulful ache and charmingly vulnerable optimism very much shaped by his experiences in the years between the last Preston School Of Industry album, 2004's Monsoon, and today.
It's an album heavy with haunted blues and bruised soul, with a soused late-night ambience that perfectly fits both its scuffed and sad-eyed ballads, and its more strident rockers. 'Wharf-Hand Blues', closing the first side, is a standout, with stricken slide guitar and ghostly backing vocals, and Spiral's smouldering, sad refrain of "What was wrong for you / might've been right for me"; the lyrical, pedal steel-gilded country of 'A Mighty Mighty Fall' is a sunnier glide, and easily charms.
Foot-stomping opener 'True Love' and the brooding, blistering 'Subiaco Shuffle' rock out with the ragged glory of Neil Young and his Crazy Horse, unkempt and heartfelt, while the sunshine jangle of 'Cold Change' offers more of the lilting, beguilingly-unkempt pop Spiral's spent a career perfecting.
"People who've heard the album told me they weren't expecting it to sound the way it does," says Spiral. "It's been a few years since the last album, and I've heard a lot more music in that time, and been influenced by it. I was listening to Richard Thompson's Shoot Out The Lights a lot, and mid-period Fleetwood Mac, and Bob Dylan records from when he was in his mid- to late-thirties. I was listening to those records at home, with my guitar in my hands, and thinking, I want to write songs with that same weird vibe."
While the album sounds like the work of a group playing in simpatico, camped out in the studio together some way past midnight, the recording sessions actually spanned months and oceans. Spiral first recorded the bare tracks with some of his former bandmates in PSOI, including bassist Matt Harris and drummer Darius Minwalla, before hooking up with friend and fellow Seattle-ite Jon Auer (The Posies, Big Star), who helped Spiral record further overdubs and background vocals, and added touches of organ and mellotron to the proceedings. Next, Spiral took the tapes with him to Australia – where, of late, he's been spending his winters – and recorded further instrumentation and backing vocals with friends out there. (He has become so enamoured with Down Under that he will soon be emigrating there, and marrying his Australian fiancé).
Spiral ascribes the five year delay between Monsoon and The Real Deal to the personal upheavals he experienced after touring the last Preston School Of Industry album, experiences which fed the mood and lyrics of these new songs. "I split up with my wife," he says, "and went through some dark times here in Seattle. I had some songs written, but I just never really got out of my doldrums enough to get it together. It's weird how five years can go by so quick: a lot of shit went on."
Spiral wrote the songs for The Real Feel during this period, in Seattle and in Australia. "I was just playing music with these guys, making up these songs. It's a more personal record than I've made before; they've all been personal, but this one's pretty dark. The song material was very emotionally-tinged, very personal, all about what's been going on with me. I knew that I wanted to deal with what was going on, what with my break-up, and the lost years after that. I wanted to deal with that in the songs."
The result is an album that's dark and potent, vulnerable and unflinchingly honest, an album unafraid to rock and to roll. Spiral describes it as having an "Australian" sound, and says it reminds him of the Bad Seeds and the Go-Betweens. Cathartic and powerful and uplifting, it's the sound of Spiral making sense with that which makes no sense, making peace with his demons, and celebrating the life that follows. Certainly, despite the emotions that fuelled the record, making The Real Feel was an experience that proved entirely positive for Spiral.
"This is the best record I've ever made," he says. "I spent so long on it that, once I finally listened back to the completed record, it was exactly how I wanted it all to be; that was a good feeling. There were moments in the last five years when I thought I didn't want anything to do with music anymore… But you hear a good record, and it pumps you back into it again. It takes a lot to make a record, but it feels so great, and makes me want to make another, real quick."

SQL Server Overview
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a database platform for large-scale online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing, and e-commerce applications; it is also a business intelligence platform for data integration, analysis, and reporting solutions.
Components in SQL Server 2005:
Database Engine Reporting Services
Analysis Services Notification Services
Integration Services Full-Text Search
Replication Service Broker
The diagram shows the relationships among SQL Server 2005 components and identifies interoperability between components.
|Security Note:
|SQL Server 2005 includes a variety of highly precise, configurable security features. These features can empower administrators to implement defense-in-depth that is optimized for the specific security risks of their environment. To learn about security features, see Security Considerations for SQL Server.
SQL Server 2005 introduces "studios" to help you with development and management tasks: SQL Server Management Studio and Business Intelligence Development Studio. In Management Studio, you develop and manage SQL Server Database Engine and notification solutions, manage deployed Analysis Services solutions, manage and run Integration Services packages, and manage report servers and Reporting Services reports and report models. In BI Development Studio, you develop business intelligence solutions using Analysis Services projects to develop cubes, dimensions, and mining structures; Reporting Services projects to create reports; the Report Model project to define models for reports; and Integration Services projects to create packages.
Both of these studios are closely integrated with Microsoft Visual Studio and the Microsoft Office System. For more information, see Introducing SQL Server Management Studio and Introducing Business Intelligence Development Studio.
In the studios, SQL Server 2005 provides the graphical tools you need to design, develop, deploy, and administer relational databases, analytic objects, data transformation packages, replication topologies, reporting servers and reports, and notification servers. Additionally, SQL Server 2005 includes command prompt utilities to perform administrative tasks from the command prompt. To quickly get to important high-level topics for tools and utilities, go to Tools and Utilities Documentation Map.
SQL Server 2005 provides a number of ways to submit feedback about the product and the documentation, as well as ways to send error reports and feature usage data automatically to Microsoft. To learn how you can provide feedback, go to Providing Feedback on SQL Server 2005.
Database Engine
The Database Engine is the core service for storing, processing, and securing data. The Database Engine provides controlled access and rapid transaction processing to meet the requirements of the most demanding data consuming applications within your enterprise.
Use the Database Engine to create relational databases for online transaction processing or online analytical processing data. This includes creating tables for storing data, and database objects such as indexes, views, and stored procedures for viewing, managing, and securing data. You can use SQL Server Management Studio to manage the database objects, and SQL Server Profiler for capturing server events.
To learn more about the Database Engine, see SQL Server Database Engine and SQL Server Tools Tutorials.
To quickly get to important high-level topics for the Database Engine, go to Database Engine Documentation Map.
Analysis Services
Analysis Services is the core service for supporting rapid analysis of business data, delivering online analytical processing (OLAP) and data mining functionality in business intelligence applications.
Analysis Services allows you to design, create, and manage multidimensional structures that contain detail and aggregated data from multiple data sources, such as relational databases, in a single unified logical model supported by built-in calculations. Analysis Services provides fast, intuitive, top-down analysis of large quantities of data built on this unified data model, which can be delivered to users in multiple languages and currencies. Analysis Services works with data warehouses, data marts, production databases and operational data stores, supporting analysis of both historical and real time data.
To learn more about OLAP, see SQL Server Analysis Services and Analysis Services Tutorials.
To quickly get to important high-level topics for OLAP, go to Analysis Services Documentation Map.
Data Mining
Analysis Services contains the features and tools you need to create complex data mining solutions.
- A set of industry-standard data mining algorithms.
- The Data Mining Designer, which you can use to create, manage, explore, and create predictions from mining models.
- The DMX language, which you can use to manage mining models and to create complex prediction queries.
You can use a combination of these features and tools to discover trends and patterns that exist in your data, and then use the trends and patterns to make intelligent decisions about difficult business problems.
To learn more about data mining, see SQL Server Analysis Services and Data Mining Tutorials.
To quickly get to important high-level topics for data mining, go to Analysis Services Documentation Map.
Integration Services
SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) is the extract, transform, and load (ETL) component of SQL Server 2005. It replaces the earlier SQL Server ETL component, Data Transformation Services (DTS).
Integration Services is a platform for building enterprise-level data integration and data transformations solutions. You use Integration Services to solve complex business problems by copying or downloading files, sending e-mail messages in response to events, updating data warehouses, cleaning and mining data, and managing SQL Server objects and data. The packages can work alone or in concert with other packages to address complex business needs. Integration Services can extract and transform data from a wide variety of sources such as XML data files, flat files, and relational data sources, and then load the data into one or more destinations.
Integration Services includes a rich set of built-in tasks and transformations; tools for constructing packages; and the Integration Services service for running and managing packages. You can use the graphical Integration Services tools to create solutions without writing a single line of code; or you can program the extensive Integration Services object model to create packages programmatically and code custom tasks and other package objects.
To learn more about Integration Services, see SQL Server Integration Services and Integration Services Tutorials.
To quickly get to important high-level topics for Integration Services, go to Integration Services Documentation Map.
Replication is a set of technologies for copying and distributing data and database objects from one database to another, and then synchronizing between databases to maintain consistency. Using replication, you can distribute data to different locations and to remote or mobile users over local and wide area networks, dial-up connections, wireless connections, and the Internet. SQL Server provides three types of replication, each with different capabilities: transactional replication, merge replication, and snapshot replication.
Transactional replication is typically used in server-to-server scenarios that require high throughput, including: improving scalability and availability; data warehousing and reporting; integrating data from multiple sites; integrating heterogeneous data; and offloading batch processing. Merge replication is primarily designed for mobile applications or distributed server applications that have possible data conflicts. Common scenarios include: exchanging data with mobile users; consumer point of sale (POS) applications; and integration of data from multiple sites. Snapshot replication is used to provide the initial data set for transactional and merge replication; it can also be used when complete refreshes of data are appropriate. With these three types of replication, SQL Server provides a powerful and flexible system for synchronizing data across your enterprise.
To learn more about replication, see SQL Server Replication.
To quickly get to important high-level topics for replication, go to Replication Documentation Map.
Reporting Services
SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server-based reporting platform that provides comprehensive data reporting from relational and multidimensional data sources. Reporting Services includes processing components, a complete set of tools that you can use to create and manage reports, and an application programming interface (API) that allows developers to integrate or extend data and report processing in custom applications. The reports that you build can be based on relational or multidimensional data from SQL Server, Analysis Services, Oracle, or any Microsoft .NET Framework data provider, such as ODBC or OLE DB.
With Reporting Services, you can create interactive, tabular, or free-form reports that retrieve data at scheduled intervals or on-demand when the user opens a report. Reporting Services also enables users to create ad hoc reports based on predefined models, and to interactively explore data within the model. All reports can be rendered in both desktop and Web-oriented formats. You can choose from a variety of viewing formats to render reports on demand in preferred formats for data manipulation or printing.
Reporting Services is a server-based solution, and thus provides a way to centralize report storage and management, provide secure access to reports, models, and folders, control how reports are processed and distributed, and standardize how reports are used in your business.
To learn more about Reporting Services, see SQL Server Reporting Services and Reporting Services Tutorials.

Notification Services
SQL Server 2005 Notification Services is a platform for developing applications that generate and send notifications, and it is also an engine that runs those applications. You can use Notification Services to generate and send timely, personalized messages to thousands or even millions of subscribers, and deliver the messages to a wide variety of applications and devices.
The Notification Services platform enables the development of rich notification applications. Subscriptions, which express subscribers' interest in specific information (called events), can be evaluated based on the arrival of events or based on a schedule. The event data itself can originate from within the database, from other databases, or from external sources. Notifications, which result from the matching of events and subscriptions, can be richly formatted before being sent to the subscriber.
The Notification Services engine works in concert with the SQL Server Database Engine. The Database Engine stores the application data and performs the matching between events and subscriptions. The Notification Services engine controls the flow and processing of data, and can be scaled-out across multiple computers. This can improve the performance of very large and demanding applications.
To learn more about Notification Services, see SQL Server Notification Services and the Notification Services Tutorial.

Full-Text Search
SQL Server contains the functionality you need to issue full-text queries against plain character-based data in SQL Server tables. Full-text queries could include words and phrases or multiple forms of a word or phrase. Full-Text Search allows fast and flexible indexing for keyword-based query of text data stored in a Microsoft SQL Server database. In SQL Server 2005, Full-Text Search delivers enterprise-level search functionality.
Use Full-Text Search to search for plain, character-based data, in multiple fields in multiple tables at the same time. The performance benefit of using Full-Text Search can be best realized when querying against a large amount of unstructured text data. For example, a Transact-SQL LIKE query against millions of rows of text data can take minutes to return; whereas a full-text query may take only seconds or less against the same data, depending on the number of rows that are returned. You can build full-text indexes on data stored in a char, varchar or nvarchar column or formatted binary data, such as Microsoft Word documents, stored in a varbinary(max) or image column.
To learn more about Full-Text Search, see Full-Text Search.
To quickly get to important high-level topics for Full-Text Search, go to Full-Text Search Documentation Map.
Service Broker
SQL Server 2005 Service Broker provides the SQL Server Database Engine native support for messaging and queuing applications. This makes it easier for developers to create sophisticated applications that use the Database Engine components to communicate between disparate databases. Developers can use Service Broker to easily build distributed and reliable applications.
Application developers who use Service Broker can distribute data workloads across several databases without programming complicated communication and messaging internals. This reduces development and test work because Service Broker handles the communication paths within the context of a conversation. It also improves performance. For example, front-end databases supporting Web sites can record information and send process intensive tasks to queue in back-end databases. Service Broker ensures that all tasks are managed in the context of transactions to ensure reliability and technical consistency.

new (super cute!) box - ribbit ribbit!
This is (one of) our new bento boxes. I might have gone on a bit of a bento-shopping bender lately. Maybe. Just Maybe.
I have been pining for this little two-tier bento box for ages! I was unsure about the size and quality of it, so I've continued to hem and haw over it for the better part of a year. After seeing the price drop on it quite a bit on Amazon I started to waffle and when my friend Wendy did a post about getting the panda version I totally crumbled like a cookie! (although I just now realized when hunting up that link that hers is actually a little different than mine...I didn't even realize!).
Whether this be a big snack or a small lunch, it was all for Ethan, my 8-year-old.
Mmm, Yum!
The bottom level is a little deeper and a smidge bigger than the top level. In the bottom tier he had: sunflower kernels, a Babybell cheese, a few little turkey rolls, carrots, olives. The sunflower kernels are in a little disposable cup that came from a pizzeria full of parmesan. I just washed it out and added it to my own lunch supplies. It may not last long, but I'll reuse it as much as I can while I can! The little snap-on lid fits on it inside this bento box too. :)
The top level was perfect for a little fruit salad of strawberries and kiwi fruit.
The top level comes with a nice sealing lid to keep wet things from making a mess!
The top tier fits nicely on the bottom tier, and then the froggy face lid closes it up.
A bento "belt" is an elastic band that keeps everything securely together.
LOVE it!
I just noticed there is also a piggie version too. Oh mercy me!

Melissa, gotta tell ya, I made my hubby lunch in the EasyLunchBox today for the first time and put some silicone cups in there too, basically replicating what the kids were getting for lunch. At the end of the day I asked him how he liked his new lunch box, and he said he felt like a schoolboy! :)

Cute bento, is it BPA free?? I saw it on Amazon too:)

I have no idea, Mary. I've heard the "better quality" boxes are okay, but that's only what I've *heard* and who knows what "better quality" really means. This is a really nice box, so I'm hoping for the best. :)

I ordered the bunny bento box like these from sugarcharms. I think I ordered the last one and paid a ridiculous amt of $ for a bento but it is the CUTEST thing ever with a built in fork and everything. I'm ordering the panda for my youngest daughter for Christmas. Is it sad that all my children are getting lunch related items under the tree? Nahhhh...

I've had a crash, my in.mbx was damaged, so said Pocomail.
I rebooted, did a chkdsk and everything seemed fine, but all mails were empty (senders, subjects and all were fine). So I read the forums and compressed the mailbox but now: everything is gone.
There are no backups, the in.mbx file is 0kb.
I think I have to live with losing all mail and start to do a daily backup?
Fortunatly I have lots of folders, so I only missed one of the least interesting ones (4100 mails though). But maybe there are some wonders and I can fix it. Any help is welcome.
Also I used to have my mail in c:\mail, but Poco seems to put them in a c:\users and roaming directory now? Well, I do have the c:\mail backup but thats from the beginning of 2009. If it's lost it's lost, can't do much about it then I guess

Dear Debt Adviser,
I received a large bonus, and I'm wondering about the best strategy to increase my overall financial stability. I could pay off my credit card debt of $20,000. But I also want to build an emergency cash fund, and I need to buy a car because my current one is on its last leg. What should I do?
— Red
Dear Red,
I think you already know what to do. You need all three to achieve stability, right? I'm pleased that you want to get beyond your current needs and plan for what is always an uncertain future. So, let's get started on a plan.
More On Debt Management:
First, develop a comprehensive budget. Financial stability starts with knowing where your money is going. Without a plan, you'll be leaking money every day without knowing it.
Then, I'd put the credit cards at the back of the line and deal with your emergency fund and car loan. These will help with long-term stability. Just paying your cards down will help for today, but not for the future.
Let's talk about your emergency fund. Try to save between six and 12 months' worth of living expenses. If you set aside one-third of your bonus, about $6,600, for an emergency fund, you'll have a good start on that goal.
Next, I want you to begin thinking about cars that are new (or with a warranty), reliable and inexpensive. I know, that sounds boring, but this is only temporary while you are on the road to financial stability. Once you are there, you can afford to splurge a bit on better wheels. For now, remember that carrying more debt than necessary won't help in your drive to stability. So the smaller the car loan, the better. That means you must buy an inexpensive car and/or have a sizable down payment.
Make sure to pick a car that holds its value. Many people owe more on their car loan than the vehicle is worth. That can be trouble if their financial situation changes and they can no longer afford the payment. I also recommend that you use no more than a third of your bonus to secure your next vehicle. If you secure a loan for the car, be sure to include a down payment of at least 20 percent of the purchase price.
Now, let's talk about that credit card debt. I suggest paying down your balances with the last third of your bonus. And be sure to include in your budget a monthly payment that you can afford. Then, promise yourself you will not add to the balances unless you can pay it in a very short period of time.
Although the timing on the bonus was great, don't count on another one. If you work your plan just right, you won't need one.
Good luck!

Friday Newsletter and Follow News: 21 January 2011
The Great Epidemic
Cynthia Shenette at Heritage Zen is presenting a fascinating three-part series, "Flu 1918," on the influenza epidemic of 1918, with a special focus on its impact on the Polish community in Worcester, Massachusetts; see Part 1 here, Part 2 here, and Part 3 here.
Doesn't share well
The following post could be a followup to Amy Coffin's post from last week ("Genealogy Membership: What Makes You Join?"). At The Faces of My Family, Lisa Swanson Ellam writes about why she has not joined a particular genealogy society in "Follow Friday - Western Kentucky Genealogy Blog" (she quotes the advice given by the blog's author, Brenda Joyce Jerome, on what genealogy societies SHOULD do). What follows is a script for what a genealogy society should NOT do.
Naked avatars
Yeah, I thought that was a pretty provocative title, too. If you want to know what it refers to, you'll have to read Sheri Fenley's half of the Saga of the Research Buddies at The Educated Genealogist: "BBQ, Bonding and Cracking the Whip."
What he said
One of my favorite James Tanner (Genealogy's Star) post is one from this week, "The heart and soul of genealogy." The last paragraph pretty much sums up how I feel about genealogy.
Dear Santa...
Tanner's article on "Tablet computers - can you do real genealogy?" will also be of interest to anyone who needs an excuse for getting an iPad.
Lorine McGinnis Shulze also wrote on this subject in "Why Take an iPad Instead of a Laptop on a Research Trip?" at Olive Tree Genealogy Blog. More data to take into consideration in making the decision....
A recommendation to read a post and the comments on the post
The post is "Creating a Research Log - the Why and How" at Elyse's Genealogy Blog; one of the comments, Miriam Midkiff's, has a link to her spreadsheet in Google Docs for tracking census records.
For love or money...
At The Armchair Genealogist, Lynn Palermo throws out an interesting question: "Can I Turn My Love of Genealogy into a Career?" (addressed to readers who may have done this or are trying to do this). It will be interesting to read the answers.
Living and recalling history
Geneablogie's Craig Manson shares "On this King Holiday, Some Personal Memories" with us, and if there is a single post you should not miss this week, this one is it.
Well, I never expected that!
Cheryl Capps Roach at Genealogy for the Family Historian writes about her answer to the question "What was the most surprising information discovered in your years of family research?" The answer is, indeed, surprising; perhaps some of you have encountered similarly unexpected information?
If you see some changes
in the instructions for contacting me and in the process for posting comments, give credit to Amy Coffin at The We Tree Genealogy Blog for really getting a discussion rolling on this subject in "Genealogy Blogs: A Comment on Comments." And, when you read the article, check out all the comments! The subject must be in the air; Nancy at My Ancestors and Me reported on her Comments Survey this week as well.
For more suggested blog reading
Check out "Best of the Genea-Blogs" at Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings, "Follow Friday: Around the Blogosphere" at Susan Petersen's Long Lost Relatives.net, and "Best Bites for the Week" at Elizabeth O'Neal's Little Bytes of Life.

I really appreciate all of the work you did for me this week identifying such wonderful blog entries. I've already checked out several of them.ReplyDelete
Greta - Thank you so much for the shout out. I appreciate it. The 1918 flu pandemic is such an interesting topic and one that touched so many of our ancestors' lives.ReplyDelete
Your Friday posts are always must reads for me, but since I've been trying to follow my New Year's resolution to cut down on blog reading these posts have been so helpful. I especially appreciate the lists of new blogs. Thanks for pulling this together each week.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad (and envious) you'll get to Charleston.
Thanks for the blogoversary shoutout!ReplyDelete
Thanks for saving over and over again. When I get way behind in reading I catch a quick gander at your Friday Newsletter to stay abreast of the weeks top activities. I have plans to go to NGS, but I may have to pass and go to FGS. I lot of activities in May and June!ReplyDelete
Linda - Together again! We'll have so much fun.ReplyDelete
Amy - I still have to make the changes, but I'm definitely going to do it soon!
Kathy - Glad to be of help!
Cynthia - I've always been fascinated by the flu pandemic, too. I can see why every new epidemic causes such a big reaction in the news - you never know when something like that will hit again.
Susan - I hope your resolution is working better than mine!
Liz - Glad to!
Kathleen - I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can make it to NGS and FGS.
Thanks for the mention Greta! You'll be pleased to know that I managed to get my avatar some hair and pants. I'm working on the rest.ReplyDelete
Sheri - Hair and pants - not a bad start!ReplyDelete
Like everything else in life at the mment. my blog reading is way behind! I appreciate the mention and I appreciate your status as one of my LCRs (Loyal and Constant Readers).
Your Friday posts help me get caught up!
Craig - I love the title "LCR" and am proud to be one! I've been in the same boat recently - behind in reading, behind in comments, behind in everything.ReplyDelete

Virtual networks have become utterly important for a large number of world citizens. Being a member of a virtual community is vital for so many nowadays. Facebook is one of the most popular worlds of networking, formed by people who bring in their own networks and trust of their close ones.
Recently, there has been a growing number of people who have been terminated from Facebook without any sensible reason. According to a former Facebook heavy user (now terminated one), Facebook adminstration claims that they have their own algorithms for determing unduly behaviour. Unfortunately they are not able to reveal what triggers the red flags.
I believe it's not good to live in a community where the rules are unknown and you are under constant fear of being "killed".
Being terminated from your own community is comparable to being sent to exile and having your property confiscated. If such thing happens, there should be reasoning and procedures that justifies it.
I have just joined a Facebook group called "Constitutional Facebook". It drives rights of Facebook users, trying to stop the arbitrary conduct by the Facebook adminstration.
It is interesting to see how this takes off. I believe it's time to stop exploiting the users that are the social network.

Hyvää Joulua! Merry Christmas to everyone!
I've had a rather sleepy but nice Christmas day so far. Flu is almost gone! In Finland we exchange gifts on Christmas eve and therefore it's now safe to blog about my handmade gifts. These little pouches were given to my friends and my brother's girlfriend. I made two orange pouches with a little birdy and one brown with a tree. Linen pouches are lined with very soft brown cotton, hand stenciled with fabric paint. Approx. 18x17cm.
I'd like to thank you all for your kindness, your comments and endless inspiration! Blogging has been a most wonderful experience so far, and I'm certainly going to carry on with this! Thank you again! May your holidays be peaceful and filled with kind thoughts!

The Senate's top Republican says he'll need to take a close look at what former Sen. Chuck Hagel — who's the front-runner to be the next defense secretary — has said in the past on Israel and Iran.
Sen. Mitch McConnell says that the next Pentagon chief must have a complete understanding of the U.S. relationship with ally Israel and the threat from Iran.
Some of Hagel's former Senate colleagues have questioned his pronouncements on Iraq, Israel and the Middle East. McConnell tells ABC's "This Week" that Hagel "has certainly been outspoken" on certain foreign policy matters.
McConnell says that if Hagel is nominated, he wants to see if the former Nebraska senator's views "make sense for that particular job."
