Financial Information
About Minturn & Red Cliff
Minturn One of the Slifer brokers said it best when she referred to Minturn as "a sturdy mountain town." Sturdy it sure is, with its mining history, old-town Western charm and an eclectic, funky style. Minturn is one of the closest communities to Vail's world-class slopes, but its location along the Eagle River and nestled into a narrow valley has kept most of the resort influences away. Located 10 minutes down I-70 from the main Vail exit and a short drive up Highway 24 toward Leadville means Minturn enjoys no noise pollution from the interstate. It's close to everything, yet so distantly related to the rest of the valley's communities. Thanks to this proximity, Minturn has been evolving in recent years as a desirable hotspot for real estate. The Minturn Mile, a popular backcountry trail off the back side of Vail Mountain, means some residents can even ski home — but not without a stop for a beer at the iconic Minturn Saloon, of course. Free concerts and a happening farmers market keep the community's pulse high in the summertime, as do popular hiking and biking trails in and around town. World-class fishing along the Eagle River is a popular activity throughout the year as evidenced by two angler shops downtown. Minturn is small, which means buyers sometimes have to be patient until the right home becomes available. But what Minturn lacks in inventory, it makes up for and then some with its awesome small-town character and charm. Many of the residents here take pride in their community and wouldn't consider living anywhere else in the valley, according to one Slifer broker. And while these old-timers pump a sense of pride throughout the town, Minturn is also considered quite "up and coming," as well. The Vail Ski and Snowboard Academy, a revolutionary winter sports program that operates as part of Eagle County Public Schools, also occupies school buildings on the south side of town, set amidst a gorgeous backdrop of surrounding steep mountains. Red Cliff The one-time county seat and former mining camp, Red Cliff lies tucked into the mountains up the Eagle River Valley south of Minturn. The small town has a cluster of older homes and more temporary dwellings offering back country access for skiing and snowmobiling as well as hiking in the summer.

And since there is an art topic, I simply must shove my WoW artwork at you all. (and show off some fanart, ehehe... )
Most of this is older artwork.
My warlock, who will never be level capped. I've had him for almost two years and he's barely 63. -_-
Old school priest friend.
My little baby rogue from when he was still a baby. <3
Older school priest friend.
My Halloween pumpkin from a few years back.
Despite this being the most recent picture, most of it is kinda poorly done. >< I hate it when I can't seem to get in a good drawing mood. (also! shamless fanart!)
Now that I've got that out of my system, hi everyone! I might be posting more doodles and such as I go, but I'm infamous for taking big vacation breaks from the internets.
Also, feel free to make requests, but don't get too excited about seeing them. I'm a world-champion procrastinator, ya know. <_<

2010 has been quite a year for web apps with HTML5 and CSS3 really beginning to catch on, giving web apps more power and capabilities than they've ever had before and bringing them closer to their desktop rivals—or completely redefining the way we do certain things (social media?).
With 2011 right around the corner, the AppStorm team thought it would be a great time to take a look back on 2010 and some of the best applications developers have brought us. So we bring you 20 of the best web apps from 2010.
In preparing this post, I was taken back by the incredible number of fantastic web apps I've seen this year, so it's very possible you'll find something new and amazing yourself. Go on and take a look!
Although Dropbox's primary function isn't its web app, it's still one of our favorite apps with so many uses it'll blow your hair back. The desktop application is, without question, the world's best multi-platform, multi-system data sync software.
The number of tips, tricks and hacks for Dropbox make it one of the most versatile apps I've likely ever come across. The combination of the powerful desktop and web apps ensure you always have access to your data, regardless of where you are.
Be sure to take a look at our Ultimate Dropbox Toolkit & Guide for a massive (and growing) list of ways to use this amazing app.
You're probably wondering why I'm even including Facebook on this list considering it's user-base is so massive it could be its own country, and one of the largest at that. But, let's face it, Facebook has changed the way we interact socially and it's been in the news more than any other app—especially for its privacy concerns—and has also changed dramatically over the last year.
Google is a killer app producing beast, no doubt—possibly the king of web apps. Not only do they run the worlds most popular search engine but they also offer apps that are arguably the most popular in their own categories; Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Docs, Picasa and Google Chrome.
You're all likely familiar with at least a few of Google's amazing apps and the reach they have in the web world, so I need not further explain!
Check out our guide on setting up your personalized Google Apps suite.
As great as SmugMug is, it's still hard to choose between it and Flickr considering they're both top of their class but work better for different people's needs. Over 2010, however, I'd have to go with SmugMug considering the number of improvements and new features they've implemented.
SmugMug is one of the best apps you could choose for storing and sharing images, not to mention the abilities it gives users for customizing galleries and printing & framing options. SmugMug also has options leading their field in video, allowing 1080p quality at up to 10 minutes.
While there are several fantastic Twitter web apps, TweetDeck stands out of the crowd and isn't just popular on the web but also one of the top choices for desktop users as well. TweetDeck offers a version of their app for essentially every major device and platform, from desktop to mobile and as of just recently, the Chrome Web Store.
TweetDeck isn't just a Twitter powerhouse, it's a social media connection hub for pretty much everything.
Runner up: HootSuite
From image editing to music creation, Aviary is a powerhouse of killer web apps. While their primary apps are Flash-based, they've recently launched a lightweight HTML5 image editor that can even be embedded in your own apps. Aviary isn't the only ones providing a fantastic online image editor, but they certainly have one of the best (if not the best) collections of great apps for tackling lots of different media types.
Runner up: Splashup.com
OnLive is attempting to revolutionize the way games are made available and against all odds, they're doing a pretty dang amazing job of it. They're pushing their new game system pretty heavily but you can just as easily play via browser capable computer and most recently view live players with an iPad.
The OnLive team is taking their technology even further, however, with rumors and demos of video streaming and remote system access (e.g. Windows 7 through a browser). While OnLive's game list is still pretty limited, it's growing and the service is taking fantastic steps forward all the time, recently even offering unlimited gaming for $10 per month!
If you want a deeper look at OnLive, be sure to read our early review (with video preview), OnLive: Next Generation Gaming.
Hulu Plus
Hulu was quite the hit as soon as it was released and it's been in the news quite a bit through this last year for the struggles they've had obtaining and offering more content. One thing's for sure though, Hulu is arguably the best place to catch up on your favorite TV shows.
With the addition of Hulu Plus, you can get all your favorite Hulu content shortly after airing, usually in HD and on a solid number of devices including the iPhone and iPad. At $7.99 per month, it's not a bad deal. Unfortunately it's not available outside the states just yet.
Runner up: Netflix
Groupon is a relatively new app but has really begun catching on this last year, introducing many to the new concept of social shopping. It's popularity and success has really taken off this year and it doesn't look like it'll be slowing down any time soon.
The concept behind Groupon is pretty simple; you subscribe to daily deals (just notifications) and purchase deals you like along with your friends and family (though you can purchase them alone). In some of the deals, groups are required and it can be much more fun snagging a deal on an event with your friends.
While Pandora is still one of the most popular music streaming web apps, it's still only radio via the web and hasn't changed all that much this year. Grooveshark, however, is a music library with access to music and "radio stations", all for free (with an optional VIP paid subscription).
Throughout the year, Grooveshark has made lots of improvements to their web app along with offering mobile apps for all the major mobile platforms (including Blackberry and Palm). Grooveshark works amazingly well, has a great selection of music and the price is hard to beat!
Evernote is similar to Dropbox in that it's a powerful data sync tool compatible with nearly every platform; desktop, mobile and web. It's not exclusively a web app and requires a downloaded app whether on windows or a mobile device to really make use of it but all your data is accessible via the web as well.
Evernote differs from Dropbox in the type of data typically stored, based on a note and notebook concept and built to help organize your notes and data (including images, files, etc).
If you want to learn more about Evernote and how to take advantage of its awesome capabilities, check out the following posts.
Kickstarter is easily one of my favorite apps of 2010, making things possible for people in a very elegant and social way not previously possible. Users can start projects, requesting backers to reach the projects financial goal. If the goal is reached, the project is funded (by the backers). Other users can back any project they'd like (I've already backed two, both reaching their goals) and if the project reaches its required financial goal from their backers, you'll then be required to pay the money you backed the project for.
It's a fantastic idea and makes it much easier for every day people to back projects and achieve their goals. They've already had tons of fantastically successful projects! See Rocking Kickstarter for Easy Project Funding for a more in-depth look.
SlideRocket is a presentation web app that really shows what kind of incredibly powerful apps can be developed for the web. In my opinion, even current desktop powerpoint apps fail to offer the capabilities SlideRocket does. It's even available on mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad.
SlideRocket is free but many of the more powerful features are reserved for the Pro plan, which will be well worth it for business or heavy presentation users. See our review of SlideRocket,Power Your Presentations with the New SlideRocket, more a more in-depth look but keep in mind they've added many fantastic features since then.
It's difficult to say Freshbooks has been the best invoicing app for freelancers as there are definitely others that are more appealing to those with different levels of needs. Freshbooks does, however, offer one of the widest range of capabilities and features and is certainly one of the most widely used.
Invoice, track time, organize expenses, manage clients and integrate with many other amazing web apps for your business needs with Freshbooks.
Other invoicing apps I would highly recommend are Blinksale, CurdBee, Ronin and Invoice Machine. I'd encourage you to also take a look at our review of Blinksale—Blinksale:
A Revamped Butt Kicking Invoice App.
A Revamped Butt Kicking Invoice App.
When it comes to private journaling, Penzu has rocked 2010. They've added plenty of new features and more recently released a full HTML5 app for mobiles that rivals some native apps. The app is a pleasure to use, not to mention how therapeutic private journaling is, and offers plenty of features for you to customize your journal and connect with services like Flickr for adding your photos.
Be sure to check out our reviews of Penzu's apps for a more in-depth look.
Threadsy takes a different approach to email and social media, bringing the two into a single app but in a way that makes it easier for you to organize and stay on top of everything. So many of us have multiple email and social networking accounts—Threadsy enables you to pull them all into one place to easily manage it all.
Although it's still in beta, it's come a long way this year and boasts some really killer features, proving just how powerful web apps can be.
Forrst is a fun and creative app for designers and developers to share links, snapshots of their work, code and ask questions. Although some might argue Dribbble should be here instead, Forrst brought the Dribbble concept to a new level and with more creativity.
Both are invite-only apps, meaning you must be invited by current members who are encouraged to only invite those who will compliment the community. For creatives and coders, it's a valuable resource and a great social community.
Font creation and sharing used to be a much more exclusive club, not to mention much more difficult. FontStruct changed that and opened up the world of fonts to every day users with an app that anyone can start using without extensive training. It's also free!
There's a lot more to the app, community and website though—definitely worth checking out if you'd like to design fonts or are interested in the subject. Take a look at Creating Fonts with FontStruct for a more in-depth look at the app.
Online forms and their associated data can be a massive pain to build and manage, especially for those who aren't web developers. FormStack takes the pain out of this whole web forms nightmare, making it incredibly easy to build and manage forms and the data you'll receive from them. It really doesn't get easier than this!
In 2010 Formstack has made lots of great improvements and added incredibly useful app integrations to easily enable things like payments. They even offer a free plan should you not need more than a few simple forms, but pricing plans are very reasonable should you need more.
We all know how important password security is and how difficult it is to manage and remember more than a few complex passwords. LastPass takes care of it all for you on Mac, Windows and Linux with integration in every major browser and even mobile access on iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows phone, Symbian and Android. That's impressive app support but your passwords are that important and the LastPass team knows it!
LastPass has been around for awhile but they deserve a spot on this list as they've acquiredXmarks, the best browser bookmarks sync app around, saving it from shutting down. Hopefully the two will be combined but either way, LastPass is a stellar group for keeping Xmarks alive.
What's Coming in 2011?
Looking back on 2010 we'll see that web apps have really started coming of age and are further blurring the line between desktop and cloud computing. This is really just the tip of the iceberg though, with new web technologies like HTML5 and more powerful browsers making their way into people's day to day lives. So, what do we have to look forward to in 2011?
For starters, the just launched Chrome Web Store and Chrome OS will further develop and hopefully flourish. These two products are a unique perspective on the world of web apps and one that many feel is overdue. Google may just be able to start the full-on cloud computing revolution and we might see it blossom next year.
As more people shift to entertainment sources on the web, we'll very likely continue seeing the growth of apps like Hulu and Netflix, possibly even getting a truly usable system to access our content in the living room—potentially allowing more people to "cut the cable" and ditch their cable TV providers.
One development I'd absolutely love to see next year is for OnLive and their collection of games and media offerings. OnLive's technology has capabilities that could change the way we compute and consume media. They're off to a great start already and moving ahead quickly so I have high hopes for them in 2011.
With all the incredible developments and advancements coming out at break-neck speed, it's hard to keep up on it all—and not just in web apps.

NEW YORK – The owner of a Sunrise day care and her daughter, an employee, were arrested for their alleged involvement in the death of a four-year-old boy last month.
Cecily Roberts, 43, and Camille Gordon, 20, were arrested in New York early Friday.
Roberts, the owner of 3 C's Day Academy, had moved to New York and was operating L.R. Academy there since Jordan Coleman's death, said Broward Sheriff's Office deputies. Investigators said L.R. Academy advertised that it provided 24-hour care for children from 6-months to 12-years-old.
On Wednesday, Paris Ward, an employee at the day care, turned herself in on a charge of aggravated manslaughter. She bonded out of jail late Thursday.
According to the arrest report, on August 1, Ward and another employee took Jordan Coleman, 4, and seven other children to a Tamarac apartment complex, but forgot Coleman in the SUV.
Coleman was found unconscious in the SUV about two-and-a-half hours later, investigators said. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Ward initially lied about how Coleman became unconscious, telling her coworker and a Broward Sheriff's Office homicide detective the boy collapsed while getting into the SUV, according to the arrest report.
A week after his death, Coleman's family filed a wrongful death suit against 3 C's Day Academy.
Stuart Grossman, the family's attorney, issued a statement about Ward's arrest, saying: "The family and I hope that anyone who bears any responsibility for Jordan's death will be brought to justice."
Coleman's family members said they were not ready for an interview Friday night. Willie Coleman, the boy's grandfather, said emotions were still very raw.
Grossman told Local 10 they are outraged that Roberts and Gordon continued to operate a day care facility after the boy's death.
3 C's Day Academy has been closed since the incident. The day care was under investigation after it was cited for capacity requirements, personnel training, background screening, and general safety requirements since 2011.
Roberts and Gordon both face a charge of aggravated manslaughter. Roberts was also charged with felony child care misrepresentation.

Ice core interpretation
Ice cores drilled in cold areas of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets provide high-resolution climate records that are essential for understanding abrupt climate change. The only remaining samples of the atmopshere from past centuries and millennia are contained in bubbles found deep in glacial ice. We are measuring the physical structure, transport properties, and microstructure from ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica to better understand mechanisms of the trapping of gases in ice cores for improved understanding of abrupt climate changes in the past.

One of my dearest friends is 13 years older than me, but hasn't had the chance to be married yet. I know her heart hurts all the time, not just on valentine's day. So my husband and I showed up on her doorstep with flowers and chocolate. She told me I had no idea how much it meant to her.

Living Exoskeleton Proposed for Province of Parma Headquarters
یکشنبه 15 خرداد 1390 03:45 ب.ظ
ارسال شده در: معماری مدرن ،
StudioDosi has proposed a double-skinned, vegetation-covered headquarters for the Province of Parma in Italy. Designed by a talented group of young Italian architects and engineers, the proposal features a wide array of green building strategies, extensive gardens and most notably, a living exoskeleton meant to provide shade and natural ventilation for the real building underneath
In March of 2009 the Province of Parma issued of a request for proposals for a new headquarters. Of the 77 international firms that entered, 15 were shortlisted and among them was StudioDosi, led by Stefano Dosi and a team of other designers. StudioDosi proposed a 4-level compact structure, with one level underground and three above, totaling 13,500 sq meters. The entire building is made up of two skins – the inner one has double glazing and the outer one is composed of "irregular shaped climbing vegetable strips." This double-skinned exterior has a wide air gap in between, which shades the inner building and encourages natural ventilation, but still allows a lot of natural light to enter through the windows
Natural ventilation is also encouraged by the use of 'wind towers' that help warm air escape, and more natural light is let in through three groups of skylights and atria in the center of the building. Waste water is collected and the design takes many steps to encourage storm water infiltration. The headquarters also utilize both thermal solar and photovoltaics to help create energy for the building and geothermal plant to maximize energy efficiency, resulting in a zero-carbon structure

Kart unit
The unit does not need modifications to the housing/cassette, so it is retrofitable to existing factory designs.
The external patented profile of the Outer Ring SKF Kart Unit has small grooves with sharp edge along them. This particular geometry increases the resistance to the misalignment of the bearing in respect of the cassette when driving the Kart. The SKF geometry assures the bearing much more grip inside the aluminium/magnesium cassette.
By using ceramic balls it is possible to decrease friction, weight and increase hardness with the result of lower running friction even with little quantity of lubricant.

Ninja Turtles' Krang, Batman's Harley Quinn, Disney/Marvel's Deadpool are just some of the inspired threads. But she's got matching his and her Boba Fett aprons and that caught our eye. They're not cheap ($75 and $100, respectively), but do look pretty sweet.

I was reading an article over the weekend where the author pointed out that the standard naming convention for SQL Server database files was .MDF for the data file, LDF for the log file and NDF for additional data files. This was good stuff so far, then the author stated that these can be changed if you want to mess around with your other DBA's. I have known for years that the file extensions are merely suggestions (best practice) and that you could change them if you so chose. Some companies may have policies defined that data files must have an extension of .001 and logs .002, etc.
What I wish the author had pointed out was that if you deviate from what is standard for file extension naming for your data and log files, please make sure your security department adds those new extensions to the list of excludes for your virus protection. If not, you will have successfully launched a denial of service (DOS) attack against yourself.

Part Four: Designing a Club From the Front Door
From the point where a person first sees your club to the moment he walks out the door, he should be impressed with the experience. In this fourth and final edition of our series on excellent club design, Rudy Fabiano of Fabiano Designs International in Montclair, N.J., walks club operators through a facility designed for success, from the group fitness studio to the locker room.
Group Fitness/Aerobics Rooms
This room has quietly diversified into the multipurpose center of the club. We like to treat the facade of this area as a primary feature in the club.
-Size and location appropriate to your programming
-Flooring and finishes
-Storage spaces or rooms to accommodate the programming
-Multitasking: accommodate various programs
-Audiovisual - big-screen televisions
-Diverse lighting schemes
-Multiple rooms
-Quiet room
Cardiovascular Area
This has been the fastest-growing area of the modern gym. Everyone designing clubs has taken advantage of the nature of the exercise and raised it above the sea of equipment - the cardio deck. This works extremely well to diversify spatial experiences and add interest to the club. The explosion of mezzanines has really added a great feel to the gym, and by and large these areas are used for cardio.
-Multiple decks or areas
-Power requirements
-Viewing length and angle of televisions
-Consider facing some equipment toward the outside
-Understand the depth of equipment and clear pathways
-ADA Compliance (elevators, ramps and lifts)
-Group cardio
-More natural light
-Personalized entertainment systems
-Web access
Workout Floor
This is an area most owners know a lot about, but spend the least time designing. We are seeing a more sophisticated approach to placing the equipment. Observe users and how the actual equipment is used, and make sure you and your designers accommodate this.
-Proper mirror location and size
-Non-glare lighting
-Durable material
-Large screen entertainment centers
- Individualized workout spaces
-Multiple areas without creating multiple rooms
-A lot of natural light
Locker Rooms
Locker rooms have endured a slow but steady path toward decency. Finally the gang showers are almost gone and the importance of comfortable locker rooms is understood. Amenities and personal space are the new buzzwords.
-Environmental controls
-Saunas and steams
-Durability and life cost cycle of materials
-Diverse lighting levels
-Correct number of fixtures based on the national plumbing code and other local codes
-Appropriate number of lockers for memberships
-Private changing booths in lockers and drying areas
-ADA compliance
-Bigger and more amenities
-Changing booths in men's locker rooms
-Private toilet area with individual sinks
-Higher quality materials
-Entertainment centers

This is my 100th Post written for this blog. I am almost to the one-year anniversary, but somehow feel that this is a milestone for me. For this 100th Post I wanted to share a little about my ancestors and where they were 100 years ago, but first I have to share the serendipity moment of this day.
Tonight I went to dinner with a genealogy friend and her relatives who arrived in Portland today from Chicago. We connected online almost two years ago and have collaborated with them ever since. These are the Hau family distant cousins. It has been an amazing journey and we spent three hours sharing stories and reminiscing. This was the first time for personally meeting each other. We share a comaraderie that is unique, a bond in time and place of discovery and treasures. Through phone conversations and emails we have accomplished the goal of creating a strong beginning for their family history. We shared documents, pictures and family stories. At the conclusion we took pictures, gave each other a hug and headed on into our personal lives. It was nice to take a pause and savor the moment of finally making a more personal contact.
Part two, commemorating the 100th Post and where my grandparents were 100 years ago. This is an exercise of placing my ancestors in a time and place. They are each unique individuals with very distinct lives.
Carl Ivan Olsen, was 14 years old in 1912 and lived in Orenco, Washington County, Oregon at Oakleaf Farm. This is the same farm where he and each of his six siblings were born. Both of his parents were born in Norway and were still living. Only his maternal grandmother was alive and lived part of the time with his family. Carl enjoyed the company of his three brothers and three sisters. In 1944, for proof in applying for a delayed birth certificate, he used his baptismal certificate that included:
Carl Ivan Child of Philip Olsen and his wife Julia Olsen
Born at Oak Leaf Farm September 15, 1898, was baptized by me in the same place, Wash. Co., Oregon on the twenty third day of October in the Year of our Lord 1898. M. Hansen, Pastor
Carl's father John Philip Olsen was a painter and when a new church was built in the community the family took part. Carl was always very inquisitive and worked with his father to build a radio tower so they could receive transmissions from far away places. He attended grade school in Orenco and at this time moved onto high school. A studious young man, he would later graduate from OSU in engineering.
Zella Alice Straw was nine years old and living in Sumner, Buchanan County, Iowa. Her mother died four years earlier and her father had not yet remarried. Zella lived near her surviving paternal grandmother and her maternal grandfather who she was very close to. Zella enjoyed many hours with Grandpa Tidd in her childhood. Living on a farm she helped to raise the animals and had a great love for nature. She drove the hay tractors and other equipment as a very young girl. She attended grade school, but always longed to be outdoors. Zella had an Uncle Herb and Aunt Rose Tidd who lived close by. Her other Aunt Jennie Tidd Hosmer moved to Oregon when Zella was a young child, but they sent many letters and packages back and forth. She would come to live in Oregon with her relatives as a young woman, and completed two years of college work. She met Carl in Sherwood, Oregon, where they were married in 1926. They had three sons.
Archie Orville Cole was three years old in 1912. He lived in Walthill, Thurston County, Nebraska. He was the seventh of eleven children. Two brothers died before he was born, so he was the eldest son. He was nine years old when his father died in 1918. In Walthill they owned on a farm, which they had to sell when their father became sick. Archie's two younger brothers were his constant companions. Another brother was born shortly before their father's death, but he died six months later. He was also very close to his six sisters throughout his life. Archie's surviving paternal grandmother lived very close to them and his maternal grandparents lived Omadi, Dakota County, the adjacent county. Archie loved the outdoors. Later in life he was known for his large victory gardens. He learned many skills as a young man, loved music and played the violin. Early in life he was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic and this was the cause of his early death at the age of forty-six.
Helen Eloise Anderson was two years old in 1912, having been born a twin on New Year's Eve in 1910 in Brunswick, Antelope, Nebraska. Hilda was born before the New Year and Helen after. On a copy of Helen's Baptismal Certificate by St. Ludgers Catholic Church in Creighton, Nebraska, birth date listed as the 2nd of January as their mother wanted them to have a combined birth date. They always had a combined a birthday celebration, even at age ninety-four. The sisters passed away within six months of each other, Helen in 2005 and Hilda in 2006. The brother born after them died at one year. They lived near their paternal grandparents, but their maternal grandfather lived in Iowa. Their maternal grandmother passed away in 1889 at the age of thirty-five. As the oldest of eleven children, they were expected to pitch in and care for the younger children. They were sent to Catholic schools and sometimes boarded at school in the city. This was a difficult separation from their family. When they were at home they enjoyed being in the outdoors and having many animals. They had several ponies, which they rode bareback. Hilda liked to work with her mother and Helen liked to work with her father. Their farm, on land homesteaded by their paternal grandfather, was a great place to raise a family. Unfortunately their mother died when they were twenty-two and had both married, Hilda in 1928 and Helen in 1930. Later they moved to Oregon with their families, first Hilda and then Helen. Helen's last child was born in Oregon.
So, as I celebrate 100 Posts, I also celebrate my grandparents and their extended families that were living 100 years ago. They were all honorable, hard-working people. In their individual personalities are the collective reflections of my own children. What do you know about your grandparents, where they lived, their daily lives, challenges and concerns? These are very brief synopsis of what I have learned about these four individuals over many years of collecting family information.
With the upcoming release of the 1940 Census I will find another snapshot into their lives. This census will find my paternal grandparents, my father and his two brothers in Linton, Multnomah County, Oregon and my maternal grandparents, my mother and her brother probably still in Nebraska. I will need to determine the enumeration districts of these localities to find them in the census. Once the indexing is completed that will make finding them easier. If you would like to participate in the indexing projects, please register at indexing.familysearch.org.

MWC 15 Special
Okay, while Microsoft is still not revealing any further information about its upcoming Windows Phone 7 launch, earlier rumors indicated that Windows Phone 7 might be officially launched by Steve Ballmer on October 11 in New York City. However, the biggest question now is when Windows Phone 7 smartphones will become commercially available. According to a recent article at German "Euro am Sonntag" newspaper, Microsoft Windows Phone 7 smartphones will hit the market on October 21. This date seems to be backed-up by Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 raffle which already unveiled a price point of upcoming Windows Phone 7 hardware.
The terms and conditions say that Microsoft will announce the name of raffle winners after Thursday, October 21 which is exactly the same date Euro am Sonntag mentioned as the day of commercial Windows Phone 7 hardware availability.
Furthermore, O2 Germany's recently leaked price list shows the HTC HD7 as available from calendar week 42 which is October 18 - 24!
That's yet the best information we have - until Microsoft cares to lose further information about its upcoming Windows Phone 7 launch.
Cheers ~ Arne

Prince Harry's double celebration
Prince Harry has cause for a double celebration this week.
The Duke of Sussex turns 34 on Saturday, which also marks exactly five weeks until he and the Duchess of Sussex kick off the Invictus Games for defence veterans in Sydney.
The week-long Games, which begin on October 20, will be a key plank of the royal newlyweds' schedule for their first major international tour to Australia, New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji.
They're set to arrive in Sydney on October 16, before visiting the central western NSW city of Dubbo, Melbourne and Fraser Island in southeast Queensland. They'll fly out of Australia for Fiji on October 23.
It's just over a year since Harry and Meghan sparked a global media frenzy as they made their first official public appearance together at the Invictus Games in Toronto, complete with hand-holding and the occasional sneaky kiss.
"Invictus carries very fond memories for them," royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told AAP.
More than 500 competitors from 18 nations will battle it out in 11 adaptive sports ranging from wheelchair rugby to swimming and athletics events at the Sydney Invictus Games.
Harry founded the Games in 2014, having been inspired to help wounded and sick military personnel and their families after spending a decade serving with the British Army.
Invictus is one of about 20 charities Harry is heavily involved in, with causes ranging from wildlife to children in need.
During Harry and Meghan's first TV interview after their engagement was announced last November, the couple spoke of their desire to work with various charities, particularly those across the Commonwealth.
"With lots of young people running around the Commonwealth, that's where we are going to spend most of our time hopefully," said Harry, who has been appointed by the Queen to be the Commonwealth's Youth Ambassador.
Mr Fitzwilliams says the aim among royal courtiers is for Harry and Meghan to be a "dynamic duo", working to raise the profile for many charities.
"There's no better place to start than in Australia with Invictus," he said.
Mr Fitzwilliams also believes Harry and Meghan's arrival in Australia will help boost support for the monarchy, particularly in a time of political turmoil that has seen the country change prime ministers seven times in a decade.
"One of the features of monarchy is its continuity and the fact it links with the past," he said.
"It represents consistency and stability, and it's a symbol of national unity. One of the points of monarchy is continuity in tricky times."
Harry and Meghan may have some royal company in Sydney, with hopes Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik will have suitably recovered from his recent back operation to attend the Games, in which Denmark is one of the competing countries. It remains unclear whether Princess Mary will join him.
A visit from football royalty in the form of David Beckham is also on the cards, with the England captain having been made an Invictus ambassador.
He is rumoured to be making his way to Sydney with his designer wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, both of whom attended Harry and Meghan's wedding at Windsor Castle in May.
As to speculation about where Harry and Meghan might find some quiet time while in Sydney, a luxury harbourside mansion could hold the key.
It's been reported that the royal couple may stay at the multi-million dollar Villa Del Mare in the upmarket suburb of Point Piper.
The Herald Sun in August reported that Harry and Markle would "feel right at home" in the six-bedroom eastern suburbs abode that features several living areas, a bar and an infinity pool.

Hot off the presses from IronGeek (so you know its good):
Creating An Auto Hack USB Drive Using Autorun and Batch Files. By Dosk3n (Hacking Illustrated Series)
During 2005 Sony BMG was discovered to be including Extended Copy Protection (XPC) and MediaMax CD-3 software on music CDs. The software was automatically installed in the background onto users computers systems that used the autorun function to start running the CD. The software could hide itself from the computers process list in the same way a rootkit would. There was over 100 titles in total that included this "rootkit". Using similar techniques we are going to use the autorun feature with a USB drive to run multiple hacking tools…
As part of IronGeek's "Hacking Illustrated Series", this tutorial is a video (by Dosk3n). Go watch it over at IronGeek (pro tip – click the article title). There's even a download link so you can watch it at your leisure over and over again.
Big ups to IronGeek and DosK3n on the tutorial and the sweet sweet "turn their own weapons against them" intro.

Producteev is an interesting task and time manager with a host of useful features.
It's easy to create a new task or "to do" item, for instance, and then customise it with a deadline, a priority or a label. You're able to store files with tasks; there's an option to attach reminders to a task; and if you're working in a team then Producteev allows you to assign tasks to anyone you like.
You'll then need to go to work, of course - but Producteev can still be useful. You're able to share tasks through social media to get help from friends and colleagues, for instance. You can attach notes to tasks, perhaps talking about your progress, and share them with others. And there are all kinds of filtering and reporting options to make sure that you keep track of what's going on.
And because you're not always sitting in front of the PC, Producteev also has an iPhone, Android and web app, a Mac client, and Google Apps, instant messaging and email integration.
What does all this cost? A basic Personal Workspace with support for up to 2 users can be yours for free. A Team Workspace starts at $20 per month (see the website for more), but a 15-day trial gives you time to test Producteev properly before you buy.
Producteev is a powerful task manager with a host of features, which you can access from almost anywhere

My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still,
While comments of your praise richly compiled,
Reserve thy character with golden quill,
And precious phrase by all the Muses filed.
I think good thoughts, whilst others write good words,
And like unlettered clerk still cry 'Amen'
To every hymn that able spirit affords,
In polished form of well-refined pen.
Hearing you praised, I say "tis so, 'tis true,'
And to the most of praise add something more;
But that is in my thought, whose love to you,
Though words come hindmost, holds his rank before.
Then others, for the breath of words respect,
Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.
Sonnet 85: Translation to modern English
My tongue-tied muse politely remains silent while accounts in praise of you mount up, expressing themselves with golden words and precious phrases inspired by all the muses. I think good thoughts about you while others write good words, and like an illiterate church clerk, I keep crying 'amen' to every hymn that competent poets devise in praise of you in polished and refined verse. Hearing you praised I say 'that's right, it's true,' and add something to their already high praise. But that's only in my mind, which loves you most, even though I say the least. Therefore, respect others for their spoken words and me for my unspoken thoughts, that speak only through their actions.

LITTLE ROCK — A legislative panel on Thursday endorsed a plan to spend nearly $22 million of the state's projected $125 million budget surplus, settling on a handful of the more than $90 million in projects that legislators and Gov. Mike Beebe had proposed.
LITTLE ROCK — A legislative panel on Thursday endorsed a plan to spend nearly $22 million of the state's projected $125 million budget surplus, settling on a handful of the more than $90 million in projects that legislators and Gov. Mike Beebe had proposed.
The Joint Budget Committee advanced the package of surplus spending proposals, which was negotiated behind closed doors Thursday afternoon. Lawmakers said that sometime Thursday night they expected to complete work on the state budget bill, known as the Revenue Stabilization Act, in which the Legislature sets its spending priorities for the coming fiscal year.
The budget panel is expected to take up the budget bill Friday morning. If the panel advances the bill, the House and Senate could approve it next week to complete the work of the fiscal session.
Beebe and legislative leaders said the final budget would contain no major differences from Beebe's $5 billion proposed balanced budget, which included proposed increases in spending on prisons and public schools.
The surplus spending package that the budget panel endorsed for one-time needs included $719,873 for 200 new prison beds; $4.2 million to reimburse county jails for holding state prisoners; $5 million for Department of Correction employees' banked holiday compensation; $5 million for loans to charter schools to build facilities; $5 million for grants to schools for broadband; and $2 million for the state Department of Health's breast care program.
Beebe had requested surplus money for all but the breast care program. The budget panel endorsed spending a little over half of the amount Beebe requested.
The governor told reporters later, "I thought what was needed was the full amount we requested, but we'll make it work the best we can."
He also said he understood the desire to limit surplus spending, saying, "It's always good to keep a lot of seed corn."
The budget panel rejected proposals to spend $2 million of the surplus on early childhood education and $10 million on the state's Human Development Centers.
House Speaker Davy Carter, R-Cabot, advocated limiting surplus spending to the negotiated package.
"As we've gone through these last couple of years in these tough economic times, it's been pretty nice knowing that we had large surpluses under the pillow, so to speak," he said.
Sen. Joyce Elliott, D-Little Rock, urged the panel to endorse the early-childhood education proposal, saying it was needed to keep programs going in communities around the state.
Elliott said that while spending money on prisons is necessary, "we are so much better off if we are addressing that pipeline before it gets started, and it is indisputable that pre-K is the major way to do that."
Rep. John Burris, R-Harrison, said that the various proposals were "all very worthy, but it's our job to be responsible and have a budget."
The pre-K proposal failed in a 20-12 vote, falling short of the 29 votes it needed to clear the committee. The Human Development Centers proposal failed in a voice vote.

I would buy one if.
They ditched the keyboard and filled the available space with screen, in this day and age there is just no excuse for such a clunky design. Come on guys get your act together, it's a book reader; fill the available space with the book not with stupid little keys.
Added a backlight, I like to read in bed and having a backlight means the other half can sleep while I read, if I want to read with the light on I will read a paperback.

Just a few quick news notes to start off your Monday.
A Heathen in the Holy Land: New York Republican congressional candidate Dan Halloran, who also happens to be a Theodish Heathen, is currently in Israel for a two-day visit where he'll meet with Israeli leaders.
"The city councilmember is running in the Sixth Congressional District, which covers parts of Queens and has a large Jewish population. His trip is scheduled to include meetings with Israeli leaders and stops in places in Jerusalem and other locations on Monday and Tuesday. Halloran has criticized President Barack Obama and Democrats for their approach to the U.S. relationship with the Middle East nation."
Halloran has said that President Obama is "not a real ally" of Israel, while Democratic opponent Grace Meng has tried to hang Ron Paul's controversial views about Israel around Halloran's neck despite publicly breaking with the libertarian-leaning Republican on foreign policy. This move by Halloran seems calculated to win more support in the heavily Jewish and Democratic-leaning district, and comes after Grace Meng's family has been hit with a scandal involving her father, possibly weakening her electoral chances. One wonders if the topic of his personal faith will come up while in Israel, and what he'd say if asked what his beliefs are.
Famous Witch Trial Memorial To Be Rededicated: Salem, Massachusetts' famous Witch Trials Memorial, originally dedicated in 1992, has been restored and improved and will be rededicated on September 9th. In modern times Salem has become known as the "Witch City" not only for the infamous trials, but because modern Witches and Wiccans have turned the city into a place of pilgrimage which now sports a large Pagan community.
"As in 1992, when the powerful memorial was unveiled, the ceremony will involve descendants of the witch trial victims and Gregory Alan Williams, hero of the 1992 Los Angeles race riots and first recipient of the Salem Award for Human Rights and Social Justice. […] Hayden Hillsgrove, the memorial's original stonemason, has reworked and repaired the memorial's stone. Landscape and lighting elements have also been restored and a plan created for future maintenance."
Stonehenge on Fire: The 2012 Summer Olympics in London are now over, but one memorable scene from that period was the impressive "Fire Garden" created on Stonehenge for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad that ran concurrently with the Summer games. Lobster Pictures has released a beautiful time-lapse documentary of this installation.
"For Salisbury International Arts Festival, we produced time lapse, stills, video, editing and media services. The French arts group Cie Carabosse transformed Stonehenge into a magical 'Fire Garden' for two nights – part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad."
It's a lovely tribute to one of Britain's most enigmatic and powerful symbols.
That's all I have for now, have a great day!

US Coast Guard rescues commercial fisherman after his boat capsizes off of NY coast
MONTAUK, N.Y. (AP) — A U.S. Coast Guard crew rescued a commercial fisherman hanging onto a life raft in the waters off of Long Island after a birdwatcher spotted the desperate man and called authorities.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Brent Walsh said the 52-year-old fisherman was picked up at about 4 p.m. Saturday off Montauk Point, N.Y. He said a rescue crew on a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat was already near the fisherman doing training when the call came in.
Walsh said the birdwatcher called police in East Hampton who notified the Coast Guard.
He said the man was treated for hypothermia after being brought on board and was taken to an area hospital.
Walsh said the Coast Guard will investigate how the fisherman's 38-foot vessel capsized and sank about six miles from Montauk Point.

The Dynamo earned home-field advantage in the conference final after the Kansas City Wizards upset Chivas USA in the other Western Conference semifinal. Again hosting in front of a record crowd, Houston took a deserved lead against the Wizards when Nate Jaqua rose highest to head in a Richard Mulrooney corner kick in the 35th minute. The Dynamo finally sealed the win in the second half when Craig Waibel stole the ball near midfield, beat a defender, and played a through ball for Dwayne De Rosario on the left side of the box. De Rosario fired a low shot into the left side of the net, sending the orange-clad crowd into a frenzy. With the win, Houston advanced to the MLS Cup title game for the second time in its two years of existence.

Classic Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
I know, you've probably seen a zillion chocolate chip cookie posts on a zillion different food blogs, so why should you care? Well, maybe because I've tested a lot of them. Maybe because sometimes you want a moist and soft chocolate chip cookie and you end up with a hard crackling cookie and you just don't know where the recipe failed you! First, let me share a little secret. I have a newfound love for chocolate shards. I always used to use chocolate chips to make cookies until one day, I found myself out of them. I used a good quality chocolate bar instead, and coarsely chopped pieces of dark goodness that I then folded into my batter. I've been making cookies like this ever since. Sure it takes a couple extra minutes to chop the chocolate, but the end result is a cookie where some pieces are melted and gooey and others are just specks of dark chocolate seeping throughout the dough.
Now for a good, reliable recipe. This one really did the trick. It's a recipe from the Martha Stewart Cookie book and the batter is the best cookie batter I've had yet. It's fluffy, sweet, but not too sweet and absolutely delicious. Should I confess that a few of these cookies-to-be were eaten raw? The cookies were delicious - so good in fact that we had to give them away because the pile of them was mysteriously getting smaller during the course of the day.
Recipe (makes about 3 dozens)
2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 cup of light brown sugar
1 teaspoon of coarse salt
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups of bittersweet chocolate shards (about 12 ounces)
Preheat your oven to 350F. Whisk together the flour and baking soda in a bowl and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the butter and sugars. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy for 2-3 minutes. Reduce to low speed and add the salt, vanilla and eggs. Mix until just incorporated. Mix in the flour mixture. Fold in the chocolate.
Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Leave a 2 inch space between each. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until the edges turn golden but the centers are still soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Let them cool on cooling racks. The cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 1 week.

So, that's the secret! I always thought the confectioners had used two different types of chocolate chips to get that dual effect of gooey/crackly. Ah...

What a gorgeous photo. Oh, how much I have wrestled with cookie photos (http://www.familyfriendlyfood.com/2008/11/cookie-2-ny-times-chocolate-chip.html ). I find it very challenging to get a good one.
I think I need to buy a new camera as well. May I ask which camera are you using?

Nurit "1 family. friendly. food.": I found that stacking the cookies makes for an easier shot, especially if the cookies are pretty flat. And it helps to have something in the background to contrast with the cookies and make them pop. I use a Digital Canon Rebel to take all of my pictures, with a series of different lenses. Hope that helps!

Murray Hill, New Jersey, U.S., 10 April 2012 – Linde's newest hydrogen fueling station has officially begun operating at AC Transit's Emeryville, California, municipal bus operating division, fueling 12 fuel cell buses and up to 20 passenger cars a day.
Linde North America is a member of The Linde Group, a leader in the design, construction and operation of the most efficient and reliable hydrogen vehicle fueling systems. AC Transit is the transit bus operator for 13 cities in the East Bay Area, including Emeryville, Oakland and Berkeley, and also operates trans-bay service to San Francisco.
The Emeryville hydrogen fueling station, which began operating in late 2011, is one of two Linde is supplying to AC Transit. The second, located at the Oakland operating division, is expected to begin operating in 2013. Both stations are part of AC Transit's HyRoad project, which seeks to demonstrate the commercial viability of hydrogen fuel cell technology for the public transport industry.
Replacing diesel with hydrogen fuel completely eliminates vehicle tailpipe emissions. The California Air Resources Board estimates that fuel cell buses will deliver a net reduction of 2.7 pounds of carbon dioxide per mile using hydrogen reformed from methane, and 6.3 pounds per mile using hydrogen derived from solar, wind, or other renewable sources. Each bus is projected to travel 36,000 miles per year, reducing carbon emissions by 44 metric tons per year when using methane as a source of fuel, or 103 metric tons using renewables.
Pat Murphy, president, Linde North America, said, "We believe you are judged by the company you keep, and Linde is proud to partner with a leader in municipal transit, AC Transit. We are confident this partnership and project will prove to be a watershed for clean fuel."
David Armijo, AC Transit's general manager, noted the significance of its new Emeryville hydrogen station and fleet of fuel cell buses, saying, "we are working with companies like Linde to demonstrate alternative energy technologies in real-world operating conditions that will make our transportation systems more energy efficient and cleaner, our cities healthier, and our planet environmentally sustainable. We are impressed with Linde's technology and the capability of our new station to provide our fleet with clean, green hydrogen fuel."
Murphy said, "Linde has designed, built and delivered the newest, most efficient hydrogen fueling system, which moves from demonstration project to providing a real commercial solution for a real market and real customers. This station is proving the viability of the hydrogen fuel cell market, for both buses and cars, while offering AC Transit the easiest, fastest and most reliable hydrogen fueling experience available anywhere," Murphy said.
This is the first public hydrogen fueling station in the San Francisco Bay area. It meets industry needs for fast fueling and includes both 700 and 350 bar fueling. Daimler, which has tested fuel cell cars at the station on several occasions, described the station as "the best we have filled at in the United States. Performance-wise, it meets the Daimler requirement of a three-to-four minute complete fill with a delivered gas temperature of -40 oC, the best available today. In addition to fill performance, the station reliably demonstrated the capability to fill four fuel cell vehicles back-to-back," said Rosario Beretta, general manager, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, Inc., who is responsible for Mercedes-Benz fuel cell vehicle operations in North America.
Murphy acknowledged the crucial funding the stations received from both the California Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission, saying, "We applaud the efforts of Governor Brown's Administration to encourage additional investment in hydrogen fuel. This public support is necessary to spur additional private investment so California can achieve its aggressive tailpipe emissions reduction goals by 2020 and beyond."
