LA CROSSE - A convenience store chain's announcement of a $300 million project in western Wisconsin falls in line with its plans to open 40-50 new stores every year.
Kwik Trip says its project in La Crosse will create more than 300 jobs for the region. The company is expanding is dairy manufacturing facility, kitchen operations and transportation fleet, while building a 200,000 square-foot bread and bun production facility.
Kwik Trip has 621 stores in three states and had just announced a deal last July to buy 34 stores from Middleton-based PDQ. It took ownership of those stores last month. Kwik Trip will receive up to $21 million in state income tax credits over the next five years.
Wounding of hunter ruled accidental
TOWN OF FREDONIA - Investigators with the Ozaukee County Sheriff's Office say the wounding of a hunter last week appears to be accidental.
The man's name hasn't been released. Two members of a hunting party were trying to shoot a deer when they fired their rifles in the direction of the 53-year-old victim from Random Lake – and he was hit in the left leg. Deputies say members of that hunting party provided first aid until emergency responders could take him to Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee. He had serious injuries, but they aren't considered to be life-threatening. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is leading the investigation.
Best place to find love? One group says 'Milwaukee'
MILWAUKEE - The Great Love Debate says Milwaukee has an attractive population, a vibrant social scene and a confident dating community.
That online podcast is sponsoring a national touring series of live forums on love, dating and relationships. As a part of the tour, it has named Milwaukee "America's Best City To Find Love" for 2017. Its news release says Milwaukee is "like Chicago, without the downside." Minneapolis was named the city with the most date-able men and - just in case you want to know - the worst city for love is Denver.
Racine County ready to buy land for Foxconn project
MOUNT PLEASANT - Racine County officials say it's prudent to make sure they have $70 million in hand as the purchase of land for the Foxconn Technology project starts.
Members of the Board of Supervisors approved bonding at a meeting last week. The debt will be eventually covered by special assessments against Foxconn as a part of the giant deal bringing thousands of jobs to the county. Getting the money early will speed up the process. The land in Area 1 is said to be between Interstate 94 and Highway H, and Highway KR and Braun Road.
Two injured in Jefferson County plane crash
PALMYRA - The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the crash of a small plane in Jefferson County Sunday afternoon.
Two people in the plane were taken to Aurora Medical Center in Summit for treatment. The Jefferson County Sheriff's dispatch center got several calls about a plane going down in a wooded area east of the Palmyra airport. Rescuers say the aircraft crashed nose-down into a wooded swamp. One of the people inside was trapped and had to be extricated. The names of the two people and the extent of their injuries weren't released.
Some young Americans return to farming life
MADISON - Census figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show the number of farmers between the ages of 25-34 grew by 2.2 percent over a recent five-year period.
That's just the second time in the last century the number of young farmers went up. The National Young Farmers Coalition says access to land, student loan debt, finding labor and being able to afford health insurance are the biggest road blocks for young people wanting to start their own farm. Older farmers continue to abandon the life. While about 25-hundred younger farmers came on board, nearly 100-thousand farmers between the ages of 45-and-54 left the farm.
Lawmakers say Wis. well owners don't know if water's safe
MADISON - A Democratic state lawmaker says Wisconsin will owners don't know if their water is safe to drink.
That's why state Rep. Katrina Shankland says she has introduced a clean water bill. Shankland's legislation would provide $100,000 annually for the Department of Natural Resources to expand the testing of private wells. The money would be available as grants to local governments. Four years ago, a study found that 47 percent of Wisconsin's private wells had levels of contamination which exceeded state-established health standards. The DNR suggests that well water users test their well at least once a year.
UW scientists find biomarkers that gauge severity of Ebola
MADISON - New research from UW-Madison could help people with the Ebola virus learn whether they'll die or not.
Scientist Yoshihiro Kawaoka led a team that studied cases in Sierra Leone which had an outbreak of Ebola three years ago. The team looked at 29 blood samples from almost one dozen patients who survived the virus - and nine samples from those who didn't. The virus was deactivated before the samples were shipped to Madison, where scientists created biomarkers that can help identify fatal infections from lesser cases. Kawaoka and Pacific Northwest National Lab biologist Katrina Waters both authored the study's findings - and Waters called it the most thorough analysis of Ebola blood samples.
Body found in Eau Claire River
ALTOONA - Altoona police report a kayaker found a man's body in the Eau Claire River Friday morning.
The discovery was made near a bridge shortly before 11:30 a.m. Police Chief Jesse James says an autopsy will be done in Madison. James wasn't able to confirm if the body was one of the three Eau Claire men who have gone missing. Blake Mares, Brenden Felton and Byron Reece have all been missing for more than two weeks. Felton was last seen Oct. 28. The chief says he hopes to have an official confirmation on the body within a week.

CedarCreek's current releases include three Platinum wines
The CedarCreek Estate Winery in Kelowna slimmed its portfolio a few years ago and now offers just two ranges: the Estate range and, for its premium wines, the Platinum range.
The latest releases show consistent quality in both ranges. These wines were made by Tom DiBello, the winemaker who left CedarCreek almost a year ago and now is a busy consultant about to release wines on his own label.
One signature of his touch at CedarCreek was his use of premium French oak. No doubt, he cost the winery owners a modest fortune for barrels each vintage but the result was always worth it.
These releases represent Tom at his best.
CedarCreek fans can also relax. His successor as winemaker, Darryl Brooker, is Australian-trained and made excellent wines with several leading Ontario wineries before moving to the Okanagan in time to see Tom's 2009 wines into bottle and to make the 2010 vintage.
Here are notes on the current releases.
CedarCreek Platinum Chardonnay 2008 ($29.90). The winery has released 766 cases of this strikingly elegant wine. The wine was totally barrel-fermented but only spent 10 months or so aging in barrel and on the lees. As a result, the oak is so well integrated as to provide grace notes that frame the aromas and flavours. The taste and smell is very much fruit-first: aromas and flavours of tangerine with a richness on the palate and with a finish that lingers. The wine seems polished to a creamy roundness while retaining vibrant acidity at the core. 92.
CedarCreek Platinum Pinot Noir 2007 ($39.90). The winery produced 677 cases of its top Pinot Noir. The wine incorporates four clones of Pinot Noir harvested from CedarCreek's two Kelowna-area vineyards. The wine was aged 17 months in French oak before being bottled and then aged another 17 months before its release last September. The wine presents in the glass with the ruby hue of a gemstone, followed by toasty aromas of strawberry and cherry. On the palate, flavours of raspberry and cherry mingle subtly with oak. The texture is classically silky. On the finish, the wine is light but elegant. For those looking for power in Pinot Noir, this is not it. For those who admire delicacy and feminine charm in a Pinot Noir, this is definitely the wine. 90.
CedarCreek Platinum Meritage 2007 ($39.90). Dark, full and concentrated, this wine begins with aromas of flowers, chocolate and black cherry which carry through on the palate, mingled with fig, cedar and tobacco, with a kiss of spice on the finish. There is a remarkable polish and elegance to this wine. It is a blend of 44% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The winery released 891 cases in November. 92.
CedarCreek Estate Chardonnay 2008 ($17.90). The winery released 4,633 cases of this well-made wine at a fighting varietal price and under screwcap. The wine has classic aromas and flavours of citrus fruits, with a subtle hint of butter and oak. This appeals to those who want a Chardonnay where the fruit is out in front but with a little more complexity than is typical in the unwooded versions of this wine. 88.
CedarCreek Estate Pinot Noir 2008 ($26.90). The winery has released 2,754 cases of this Pinot Noir. On the nose, there are aromas of toast from the barrels and black cherry from the fruit. On the palate, there are flavours of cherry and plum. The wine shows a generous structure. 88.
CedarCreek Estate Syrah 2008($24.90). The wine begins with aromas of black cherries, and white pepper. On the palate, there are flavours of cherries and pomegranates with a hint of pepper on the finish. 88.

Justice Anna von Reitz
For the Federales, both Territorial and Municipal, that Congress in DC is legitimate. The "U.S." has always been run as a corporation and the Municipal "US" has been operated as a corporation since 1878. Within its own sphere, then, the "United States Congress" is acting legally.
The problem is that we have been misled to think that it is something it's not. It is not operating as the "United States in Congress Assembled". It is not representing all the people and it is not competent to do so.
So in effect, we have been disenfranchised if we don't want to join their club, and have to instead form our own Congress to act in behalf of the land jurisdiction owed to the actual states and people.
You continue to mis-represent their action as being something wrong and criminal, when in fact, it is our inaction which is the actual big problem.
They have not prevented us from organizing our county jural assemblies and operating our lawful government. We have no cause to complain because they have operated theirs.
Now what is needed is precisely what I have said all along— people need to organize their county jural assemblies, organize their county governments, organize their states, and eventually call a Continental Congress. Boot up your own lawful government.
Stop worrying about what "the other guy" is doing and stop participating in their elections and stop letting them presume upon you to pay their debts and obey their private statutory laws.
You all have the key to your own prison cell. Make use of it. The Michigan General Jural Assembly is standing ready and willing to help you get your lawful county government organized and on its feet. It's your responsibility to get your own records straightened out and your own county functioning.
There is a call in— a national call in show— at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time every Thursday night: 1-712-770-4160, access code to merge onto the call is: 226823#.
They also offer help at their website http://1stmichiganassemly.info and have a hotline from 2 to 7pm Monday through Thursday—- call 1-989-450-5522.
Stop worrying and fuming and fulminating about what the "Other Guy" is doing long enough to take care of your own long neglected business. Then maybe it will be apparent to everyone that they have a choice and that not making a choice and not fulfilling their own responsibility to provide themselves with a competent and lawful government is, in fact, creating a Big Problem for everyone concerned.
We have done the heavy lifting to extract your assets out of the looming "US BANKRUPTCY" liquidation and are, with your help and support, continuing to press your claims forward to reclaim the land and assets you are owed. But there, too, you have to weigh in and make the difference possible. My Paypal is: firstname.lastname@example.com and my snail mail address is: Anna Maria Riezinger, c/o Box 520994, Big Lake, Alaska 99652.
It's your money and your time and your thought and your teaching yourselves about your own history and accepting your own responsibilities that can save America. Nothing and nobody else can do it for you and there is no point in "blaming the other guy" for what he is doing if you refuse to do as much for yourself.
That's the same kind of logic as blaming the guy next door for mowing his lawn because it makes your own weedy patch look worse, or blaming your in-laws for having a good retirement income when you refuse to work. Just get off that whole "poor me!" attitude of entitlement and whining to have someone serve you, realize that you need to take back your estate and your proper political status—-and serve yourself accordingly.
This can be done and some of us are already well-advanced in doing it. Make the difference. Make it happen — not by trying to change anyone else— but by changing your own assumptions and your own attitude. If you are standing around waiting for one man, Donald Trump (or one old grandma from Big Lake, Alaska, either) to single-handedly drain the swamp and wrestle the alligators—- mister, you are going to wait a long, long time. We may keep at it and give it our best shot, but the truth is that the swamp is deep and well-established and the alligators are well-fed.
It's going to take you and Uncle Herman and your brother Bob and your wife, Helen, and Cousin Lester and your neighbors, The Pierces, Rudkins, and Sandormens, and Father Ryan and Pastor Roberts and Doc Schumman and your school teachers— Mrs. Purdy, Mrs. Dee, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Gage and your gym instructor, Elsa Holder, and your local grocer, Pat Schminke, and your friends at work, Jesse, Josie, Abigail, Sharon, and Lee, and your buddies on the softball team and the guys you drink beer with every Saturday night and your fishing partner and your son-in-law, Fred, and all your kids and grandkids and your local mayor, Barney Stephens, and the guy who owns the gas station, Duke Lambert, and your veterinarian, Al Shaw, and your hair stylist, Becky Reed-Law, and your librarian, Mrs. Olson, and your sheriff, Mike Tuckerman, and your volunteer firemen– Bob Olbert, Sam Levine, Cal Fenner, Leroy Jenkins, and Jim Wasserman and your Lion's Club associates and the VFW and the AmVets and the American Legion and the Daughters of the American Revolution and the local Chamber of Commerce and the local Credit Union—– and a lot of other people all pulling together— to save America.
We are in a deep, deep pit and it's going to take hard effort and sacrifice to pull up and out of it. We are fortunate that we have the sympathy and understanding of the rest of the world, but make no mistake—- we, Americans, have got to settle our own hash, stand up for our own selves and our own property rights— or we are going to suffer the results of not cleaning up our own mess.
It's not just a matter of complaining about what's going on in DC. That's the "other guy's" business. Just like an ugly neighbor that is always causing trouble and being obnoxious and spreading lies, DC is its own kind of bad news— but left to itself, DC is only a part of the real problem here.
What matters is that we have been standing around like dumb cows paying attention to the neighbor's business and letting "him" trespass on our property and make false claims about us and steal us blind and order us around and tell us what to think and do for so damned long that "he" thinks he owns us.
And what are you going to do about it? Sit down and suck your thumb? Come complain to me about it? Gripe on the local talk radio show? That's not getting the job done. That's just milling around in the stockyard waiting for what comes next.

Tummy Tuck Surgery | Lipo abdominoplasty | Abdominoplasty
- Do you have a sagging tummy?
- Have your tummy gone lose post child bearing?
- Are you looking to get a tighter and flatter stomach?
All you need is a skilfully done 'Tummy Tuck' and you will get that trimmer tummy you always wanted. Also known as Lipoabdominoplasty, Abdominoplasty, Tummy Tuck is a body surgery designed to smoothen and add firmness to your abdomen, giving you a slimmer and trimmer tummy. Whether you've been left with excess skin on your tummy due to pregnancy or losing a large amount of weight, this procedure could be your best option to get rid of saggy, crumpled skin and isolated chunks of fat in your abdominal area. It helps tightening up abdominal muscles and can even eliminate stretch marks to an extent especially those located below the navel.
The scientific name for it is "Abdominoplasty" or "Lipoabdominoplasty" and, it is suitable for all men and women who're in good health wanting to lose their saggy loose skin in the abdominal area. A 'saggy' stomach is often the result of substantial weight loss which could be from weight loss routines or pregnancy. Despite losing all the kilos, you end up with surplus loose skin and fat. Many women also suffer weakened stomach muscles after pregnancy especially in the case of multiples.
You will be given a general anaesthetic so that you'll be asleep throughout the procedure and expected to spend one night in hospital. Generally, a horizontal incision is made just within or above the pubic area. The length of the incision depends largely on the amount of skin to be removed. The contour will vary a little according to the structure of your abdomen and the style of beachwear or underclothes you prefer. If you have loose skin above the navel, your cosmetic surgeon may make a second incision around the navel to remove this excess skin. The position of your navel will remain unchanged. Any skin on the lower abdomen that contains stretch marks may also be removed. Any remaining stretch marks may be flattened and improved.
Why do you need to fly to India?
Regarded as one of the long-lasting procedures, tummy tuck is performed with utmost care in India as it can make or break the case. In India, you will find a rare combination of technologically supported services and personalized care. Another good reason to fly to India for surgery is to save duty, which is imposed otherwise on cosmetic surgeries done in other countries. Moreover, there are no language and communication issues in India.
Cosmetic Surgery in Mumbai, India costs relatively less compared to regions like the UAE and other parts of the world. Medical tourists from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah travel the most to India.
Tummy tucks are most likely to fetch an affordable deal. This is a right time to book your tickets and save money!
Key factors:
- Affordable
- Safe and effective
- Feel at home atmosphere
- Highly qualified surgeons and staff
- Internationally recognized services
- Can be combined with holiday/business trip
- Pick up facility for out of town guests
- Comprehensive, packaged deals
Tummy Tuck is known for its long recovery time. Once the procedure is completed, you may have to stay at the clinic for a night under observation. How soon you will recover after a tummy tuck is a matter of how skilled the surgeon really is. A good cosmetic surgeon will make sure that the procedure is followed with care and you, as a patient, will take minimal time to recover in a healthier way.
Basic thumb rules after the Abdominoplasty are that you should eat and rest well and avoid consumption of tobacco and alcohol at least for several weeks. Ideally, you should be able to stand properly only when the stitches are healed. Thus, you should give your body enough time to recover and so you can resume your normal activities.
Bruising and most of the swelling disappears over a period of two to three weeks after Tummy tucks. However, it may be some time before all swelling subsides and you see the final results. Scars fade away to barely noticeable faint lines depending upon your healing abilities and prescribed ointments which will probably be invisible anyways in the skimpiest of clothing.
Key benefits
- Flatter tummy
- Firmer tummy skin
- Enhanced personality
- Minimal downtime
- Safe and effective

For example, if the amount of loose skin is minimal and the excess fat deposits are located below your navel, a short horizontal incision may be all that is necessary.
In some cases your surgeon may recommend liposuction as well as a tummy tuck to remove abdominal fat.
Tummy tuck surgery complications are extremely rare and your surgeon will discuss any risks during your consultation. Advancement in technique, medicine, anaesthetic and instrumentation has eliminated most of the risk out of surgical procedures. Abdominoplasty is considered as less risky then Caesarean section.

It is difficult to place much value in the numbers NFL players rack up during the preseason. They're not always games that teams are trying all-out to win, and in only the third of four matchups do we get an extended look at expected starters.
Still, it seemed an era may have ended when Peyton Manning opened his first two preseason games as a Bronco by not getting a touchdown in 30 pass attempts, while throwing three interceptions.
Sure, the preseason doesn't mean much, but when the highest-profile free agent ever starts his second life in such a manner, it's impossible not to notice.
There was that most-important Game 3 still to go, though, and then Manning completed 10 of 12 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns (see chart). So maybe all is OK with the world.
Manning could be the player with the biggest chance to sway fantasy outcomes this season. He spent most of his career as a top-five quarterback and has never thrown fewer than 26 touchdowns in a season. One season missed with a neck injury, though, and brother Eli is being drafted above him.
Every write-up on Peyton's fantasy potential this season mentions his neck, and this is understandable to a point; it's definitely the type of injury where any future hint of it threatens his career. But there seems to be an irrational fear that the first "big" hit he takes will rattle him into a permanent neck brace while nurses fan him with palm leaves and feed him grapes.
(He's still Peyton Manning, even laid up, he will retain some awesomeness.)
We just don't want to be caught in an I-should-have-known situation if anything does happen to Manning. This preseason, though, he attempted 42 passes, so it's not as if there are no game reps to go on. He took all those drops, absorbed some hits, and is still going to be the Broncos' starting quarterback this season.
Sure, one shouldn't count on him returning to the ultra-elite, and yes, Manning doesn't have the same cache of offensive weapons he had during his best seasons with the Colts. But I still say that evens out to him being a mid-level quarterback steal instead of a potential letdown.
The players Manning has around him aren't that bad, either. In that third preseason game, he hit six different receivers with his 10 completions. That isn't a bad ratio, even if none of them were named Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne.
Some of them are named Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas and Brandon Stokley, though, players who got some fantasy notice when Tim Tebow was throwing to them. Manning could go out wearing a neck brace and still throw a better ball than Tebow.
This then stands as my official statement of Peyton Manning optimism. It comes with fair warning, however, as I also made one last season.
The Colts' Andrew Luck and the Redskins' Robert Griffin III were destined to get significant fantasy attention even before they were drafted with the top two picks in this year's NFL Draft.
And for this, I blame Cam Newton.
Traditional wisdom had said that rookie quarterbacks were never worth too high a fantasy draft pick. They tend to take some time to get acclimated to the NFL style of play; a QB prospect made for a good backup with potential upside, but shouldn't be relied upon as your starter.
Then in Week 1 last year, Newton threw for 422 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for another score for the Panthers. That vision remained too vivid to not affect this year's top-tier rookie duo.
In my fantasy auction league that drafted last weekend, Luck cost 10 times as much as Newton did the year before, while Griffin (whose playing style is more reminiscent of the Carolina star) went for 12 times the amount.
Both of those players still project as backups in my league, but it seems no one was willing to let anyone get another potential rookie quarterback steal anyway.
History, however, says one of them just overpaid for a Rick Mirer/Ryan Leaf-type, though.
Apparently I didn't time my preseason football columns correctly, as a number of kickers got cut since I covered the position last week.
At least the theme behind that column was how little those players mattered.
The Ravens got rid of Billy Cundiff, but he then landed with the Redskins. That is after Washington cut Neil Rackers, apparently giving the job to Graham Gano — for half a day.
Then over in Carolina, Olindo Mare (232 games, 350 FGs over 15 seasons) lost the kicking competition to Justin Medlock (1 game, 1 FG … in 2007).
So add these unexpected occurrences to the monumental list of reasons to not put too much value on the position.

18 November 2012 - Nijmegen, The Netherlands - Running under an overcast sky with very light rain, Tirunesh Dibaba and Nicholas Kipkemboi won the 29th edition of the ABN-AMRO Zevenheuvelenloop 15 kilometres in the easter Dutch city of Nijmegen on Sunday.
Dibaba's victory, with a time of 47:08, was not a surprise. The victory by Kipkemboi was however as the Kenyan clocked 42:01 to beat the world record holder over the distance, compatriot Leonard Komon, into second place. Kipkemoi built a 17 second advantage on Komon over the final three kilometres.
Dibaba and Komon are both World record holders over 15 Kilometres, setting their marks on this hilly course. Dibaba clocked 46:28 in 2009 while Komon's 41:13 came two years ago.
In the men's race there was a leading group of five. Kipkemoi, Komon, their compatriot Kennedy Kimutai, Ethiopian Abera Kuma and Eritrean Nguse Amlosom passed the five kilometres marker in 13:57. With that split the chance of breaking the course and World record was nearly gone. Although the pace stayed even Amlosom, Kimutai and Kuma could not follow. Kipkemoi and Komon passed ten kilometres in 27:59; Kimutai was then two seconds back while the others had lost more. Amlosom, who came back strongly in the final kilometers, was then 24 seconds back.
Kipkemboi was very strong in the final five kilometres. He dropped the struggling Komon at around 12 kilometres and gained 16 seconds on him in the final three kilometres. Amlosom came back very strong and beat Kimutai in the final stretch by one second for third place.
The women's race was in the beginning nearly a copy of the men's. Ethiopians Dibaba, Tiki Gelana and Gelete Burka passed as a trio the five kilometres mark in 15:56. Dibaba, the London Olympic 10,000m champion, was very strong and lost her opponents half way through the race. She passed the 10Km in 31:40, nearly half a minute (32:08) ahead of Gelana, the Olympic Marathon champion. In the final five kilometres Dibaba gained more than a minute over her compatriot. Beatrice Mutai took third place in 48:51.

- "Shredded Boomslang skin... Take one Boomslang skin, dry until... dry, then shred."
- —Harry Potter while brewing Polyjuice Potion during his sixth year.[src]
The Boomslang Skin is skin shed from a Boomslang snake. The skin is mostly green in males and brown in females. It is an unusual potion ingredient, but is used in potions such as the Polyjuice Potion. Boomslang skin is not sold at the Apothecary in Diagon Alley but it can be found in the Potion master's private storage.
In 1992, Hermione Granger stole this ingredient from Snape's private storage in order to brew Polyjuice Potion as part of her, Harry and Rons' plan to try to get Draco Malfoy to admit that he was the Heir of Slytherin. In 1995, and possibly before, Bartemius Crouch Jr. stole this ingredient as well for the Polyjuice Potion needed to maintain his disguise as Alastor Moody. Snape later accused Harry of stealing it, though Harry incorrectly believed that Snape was referring to the 1992 incident, which Snape had long suspected him of being responsible for.
Behind the scenes
- The use of Boomslang skin in the Polyjuice Potion was chosen by J. K. Rowling to represent "a shedded outer body and a new inner".[1]

You must be logged in to use the auto-uploader
How do I use the People Uploader?
The People Uploader allows you to upload delimited files such as CSVs of your favorite people to a given map.
They appear as "unmapped" on the chart you are uploading people into.
How does it work
You must have 18 specific fields in your csv to upload it successfully. They are case insensitive and can be in any order but you must include them all.
The first row of the file must be a "header" row showing the column names.
The column names MUST BE:
- FirstName
- LastName
- Role
- Title
- Profession
- Phone
- Fax
- Department
- Company
- Office
- Address
- Address2
- Country
- City
- State
- Zip
- Notes
Choose your delimiter character carefully to ensure maximum flexibility. A backslash ("/") is an escape character if no delimiter allows you to easily solve your problems. Of course, you can always go edit an individual later.
If a person already exists in the chart, the uploader adds another person. It does not over-write or combine people. (Multiple Joe Smith's may work at a company!)
Because we use PHP, Macintosh returns are not accepted line delimiters. You need to have newlines as the line break. Information on how to convert them> is available.
Oooops! I accidentally successfully uploaded a bunch of bad data! What should I do?
Go to the map, go to the most recent previous version that has correct data, make a trivial change (such as moving someone to the same place they are at already in the organization) and re-save it. This will over-write the upload.
Alternately, you could send email to email@example.com asking for help. Make sure you identify the map and the problem you had as clearly as possible.

Darien historian explores talent, valor of early war reporters
It's no accident that historian Robert H. Patton's new book, "Hell Before Breakfast," reads like a novel, rather than a traditional piece of nonfiction.
Patton began his history of journalism between the Civil War and the outbreak of World War I with a focus on people, rather than events. After he finished his last book, "Patriot Pirates," about privateering during the American Revolution, Patton realized that the real-life characters in the book interested him as much as the history surrounding them.
"That was a very large (historical) canvas, but what I really enjoyed was bringing the people to life. I decided that with my next book I would begin there, with people I would like to know," Patton, the grandson of the famed World War II general, George S. Patton, said in a recent phone interview from his Darien home.
Patton's project started when he pulled a 1986 book, "Eyewitness to History," down from a shelf and found himself engrossed by the adventures -- and the writing -- of early war correspondent J.A. MacGahan.
"I dipped into MacGahan's account of (wartime) atrocities. It was heartbreaking work by a reporter I had never heard of. First, I was going to deal with MacGahan alone," he said of one of the star reporters for the New York Herald in the late 19th century. "But then I started to branch out."
MacGahan covered the Franco-Prussian war -- the bloody urban siege between leftists and rightists that came to be known as the Paris Commune -- and also did profiles of major figures such as Victor Hugo.
The book becomes an overview of the colorful writers and editors who created the whole notion of a war correspondent and then refined it through the improvements in technology that would take place in the years after the Civil War.
The title is derived from Gen. William T. Sherman, who hated reporters and who was said to be happy when one died in battle -- "`That's good news! We'll have dispatches now from hell before breakfast.'"
The book is packed with larger-than-life characters, such as the whimsical and super-rich New York Herald publisher James Gordon Bennett Jr., who ran his operation from Paris after a scandalous duel caused him to leave New York City.
Asked why he chose to lead his organization from France for more than a decade, Bennett said, "I love America. It's Americans I dislike."
Patton reminds us that the term "war correspondent" derives from the style of the early dispatches, which were written as letters sent back to newspapers from various fronts. The form dictated the style.
The tone of the early war reporting often reads like today's very personal blog writing on the Internet. The shifting of tenses and points of view is also reminiscent of the novelistic "New Journalism" that would emerge in the 1960s from a group of writers that included Tom Wolfe and Joan Didion.
"Hell Before Breakfast" shows how telegraph transmission and the completion of transatlantic cables in the second half of the 19th century had just as profound an effect on the journalism of that period as the creation of the Internet has had on reporting over the past two decades.
The long and personal correspondence approach -- with the letters reprinted days or weeks after they were written -- was replaced by short dispatches of what went on just the day before a newspaper was published. The tight style was demanded by the high cost of telegraph and cable communication, where every word was billable.
"The priorities changed," Patton said. "The long languid letter became an immediate dispatch where facts came first."

text: Welcome to the official website and data portal of the National Statistics Bureau (NSB), the main statistical agency and custodian of official statistics in Bhutan! You will agree with me that the need for accurate, timely and reliable statistics on various facets of our national life has been on the increase in recent times. In responding to this growing demand, NSB is making available online an expansive collection of data compiled over the years. This means that data that previously existed only in print, requiring laborious efforts, time and resources to obtain it, analyze them will now be accessible at your fingertips! We have made every effort to provide as much data as currently available, and we'll continue to update the portal over time. Nevertheless, considering that resources are limited, NSB strategy is to ensure that data production is demand-driven, which means that we focus our limited resources on data that are in greatest demand by our user community for policy and decision-making. With this focus, the improved website also represents a major tool in the achievement of our vision – "towards supporting evidence-based decision making in the country". Since the ultimate purpose of data is to enable us assess the past, understand the present as well as anticipate and prepare for the future, it is therefore our expectation that data obtained from NSB website will inform public policy, promote accountability and good governance while facilitating the implementation of development interventions across Bhutan. Although the website and data portal will appeal to a broad cross-section of the public, it would be of immeasurable benefit particularly to researchers, students, and policymakers who are interested in making sense of trends in major socio-economic indicators in Bhutan, and to assess the progress we are making particularly towards Gross National Happiness. I wish to express our sincere gratitude to our partners, stakeholders and respondents in the public and private sectors who have supported NSB in data production activities over the years. We look forward to more exciting collaboration to increase the quantity and quality of our data releases in future. I would also like, in a most special way, to appreciate the dedication and commitment of the management and staff of NSB at the HQ and across the 20 Dzongkhags. The NSB data portal is a direct outcome of their devotion. It is my sincere hope that the contents of these pages will satisfactorily meet the needs of all categories of data users, be it policymakers, researchers, analysts, students and members of the public.

Kurt Nimmo
June 22, 2012
Word on the blogosphere has it that the MAP-21 transportation bill allows the federal government to revoke the Second Amendment of citizens accused of not paying taxes.
S. 1813 or MAP-21 (short for Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century) was sponsored by California Democrat Barbara Boxer and passed in the Senate earlier this year. It is described as a "bill to reauthorize Federal-aid highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes."
Critics argue that "hidden legislative jargon" in the bill gives the IRS the authority to grab anybody's passport who is accused of owing $50,000 or more in delinquent taxes.
"According to the text of the bill, if the IRS Secretary is informed by the Commissioner that an individual owes $50,000 or more, the Secretary is authorized to have the head of the State Department revoke the individual's passport. In other words, get audited and have your passport revoked now, fight for your due process later,"Helen Whalen Cohen wrote in April, a month after the bill cleared the hurdles and became law. Specifically, the tax provisions of the bill are a direct violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution.
A post on the Franklin County Va. Patriots blog reports that gun rights activists are also concerned the government will use additional legalese in the bill to deny the Second Amendment to gun owners also behind taxes the IRS claims they owe.
According to the blog, activists are worried about pages 1320-1324 in the MAP-21 bill:
This subsection is entitled, "Firearms." While the wording is in obscure legalese, it seems to be saying that the person designated as "the Secretary" is given broad powers over permits and the revocation of permits. And this power is described under the section that specifically deals with firearms.
Lawyers may debate whether or not the wording of the bill gives the IRS the power to suspend gun rights. But government watchdogs have become alarmed over the tendency of legislation to be written in such a manner as to create broad leeway for interpretation, meaning that nebulous wording often leads to an interpretation of the law that confirms the suspicions of many citizens that the federal government is relentlessly engaged in power grabs aimed at limiting the Constitutional rights of Americans.
The New American covered the prospect of the IRS imposing firearm restrictions on Americans accused of owing the government money. "The broad language found within this provision has raised concerns among those who believe the Secretary could use the interpretive powers defined here to revoke permits to transport guns and ammunition in all realms of transportation," Raven Clabough wrote on April 25.
Language in the bill is, at best, ambiguous, as the Franklin County Va. Patriots blog notes, but considering numerous efforts by the federal government to roll back not only the Second Amendment but entire sections of the Bill of Rights, we cannot dismiss the rising tide of concern about yet another sneak attack on the right to possess firearms as merely a paranoid conspiracy theory.

Boggy Meadow Farmstead Baby Swiss is made from fresh, unpasteurized milk taken from Boggy Meadow's own herd of Holsteins. Their herd is recognized for the quality and wholesomeness of its milk. One of the attractive features of farmstead whole milk is the subtle and interesting variation in flavor and texture from batch to batch and even within each batch, throughout the year.
The Boggy Meadow Cheese Plant is located in an original 18th century farmhouse. Fresh milk is pumped directly from their milking parlor to the plant where it is processed into cheese. After pressing, the cheeses are placed in an adjacent curing room where the aging process begins and pasteurization occurs. This process produces the smooth texture and rich, sweet, buttery, nutty taste that Boggy Meadow cheese is known for. This Baby Swiss is not only delicious for eating, it is great for cooking, too. A versatile cheese, it shreds easily and never separates or becomes stringy when heated. Try it in fondues, muffins, rarebit, soups, tortes and many more dishes.

Cary Kent, who pleaded guilty to felony charges of grand theft and possession of heroin and methamphetamine was sentenced Friday to one year in county jail, he'll do no time behind bars. Friday, Judge Don Clay offered the now-retired officer an "alternative" to jail. -more-

Thank goodness the sickness waited to hit until after Christmas and we had a perfect holiday. Today I'm sharing a few (or a lot) of photos from our festivities.
Christmas Eve started off our festivities with a great dinner, games, and family time. My Dad gave the Christmas Eve message including reading excerpts from the Christmas story. Christmas morning we went over to my parent's house after opening stockings at ours. I was so dang tired. I may be an adult now, but I still can not sleep on Christmas Eve. I was up late and up early. My mom applying the finishing glaze to the best part of Christmas breakfast- homemade Cream Cheese Cherry Danish. I tried to eat only this for the entire day. It is that good. Yes, I posted this photo on Friday, but it is worth looking at again. So delish. Opening presents was so rewarding. Easton LOVED his watch. He looks so grown up in it! Soren and I each got slippers from my parents. I can safely say I like mine better. And I am pretty sure that he can say the same about his. As one of their gifts Soren made the boys each their own custom fitting quiver for their arrows and swords. He did such an incredible job on them. The boys were so happy! Nothing like a little boy in footie jammies and mini-leather quiver. Soren made himself a sword for Christmas to match the ones he has made for the boys. They thought it was awesome. Now Dad can sword fight too! I think Soren wins the award for the best gift giving this year because he also made me one of my gifts. He designed and crafted a new earring holder for me. It is made of leather and wood and turned out so cool- very Anthropologie. I can't wait to post more about it later. It was a such a surprise! Soren got a fancy knife for Christmas that he already knew about, but he was surprised by the root beer sampler I got him. I think he got 9 different kinds. It was nice for him to get at least one surprise. Despite my expression, these movies were a gift to myself from Black Friday shopping. I couldn't resist- they were such a deal! My Dad surprised my Mom with tickets to Taylor Swift next year. He made such a sweet card to go with it that he brought my mom to tears. We all laughed at their cute romantics. For the rest of the day, everyone just enjoyed their gifts (and each other!). Kesler watched Tangled with his new polar bear buddy and tested out headphones for his uncle.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and wax your bearskin rug. A waxed bearskin rug is a sharp addition to any mountain lodge. LET'S GO!
SCREAM 2010 – 9:00PM (Spike) Spike's horror and fantasy award show is so kewwwlll, they don't even need to have "awards" in the title. Cool people already know it's implied. Be on the lookout tonight for a "Back To The Future" reunion, and a special appearance from Bill Murray in his original "Ghostbusters" costume, presumably done by Murray as a way of cruelly taunting Dan Aykroyd about "Ghostbusters 3" being stuck in turnaround. And there's a special musical performance be MIA, because why not? ANTICIPATION: GEEKY!
MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER – 9:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) Bravo unleashes the fourth season of this show about rich people who are so personally repellent that their money still can't buy them a decent soulmate. The series shifts to New York City this season, where there is no shortage of short, rich, bald men ready for the altar. RAWR! Among tonight's subjects is a self-proclaimed sports fanatic. Because that's such a distinguishing feature to have if you're a guy. ANTICIPATION: AWKWARD!
FRONTLINE – 9:00PM (PBS) It's the season premiere of the PBS show you never watch but probably should. Tonight's episode concerns a man executed for arson in 2004, starting a fire that killed three children. But new evidence suggests he may not have started the fire after all. Which does him a world of good, given that he's now deceased. I can tell this story will have an incredibly happy resolution. How can it not? ANTICIPATION: TEARS!
TEEN MOM – 10:00PM (MTV) This season wraps up with a visit from Dr. Drew to all the teen moms to see how they're doing. Are you girls okay? Would you mind if Dr. Drew lectures you for a bit to make himself look good? ANTICIPATION: EXPLOITATION!
CHOPPED – 10:00PM (Food Network) Tonight's mystery basket includes creepy Halloween ingredients (eye of newt?), plus what my guide says is a "very daunting piece of meat." ANTICIPATION: SPOOKY!
Tuesday Watch List: SCREEEEAMMM!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and wax your bearskin rug. A waxed bearskin rug is a sharp addition to any mountain lodge. LET'S GO!

Team Valor International, owner of 2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom, has announced that Maryland-based trainer Graham Motion is once again hoping to prep the horse for a run in the $10 million Dubai World Cup next spring.
Animal Kingdom finished a charging second in the Breeders' Cup Mile on Nov. 3, despite not racing for 259 days while recovering from a small fracture -- his second such injury since the 2011 Belmont. The colt stood in Motion's barn in Fair Hill for the beginning of the year, as Motion trained his best 3-year-olds toward this year's Kentucky Derby. Eventually Animal Kingdom was let out in grassy areas near the barn -- that's one of Motion's favorite things about Fair Hill -- and began conditioning again a few weeks later.
Team Valor CEO Barry Irwin called Motion's work with Animal Kingdom "a great feat of horsemanship."
Motion has decided to take Animal Kingdom back to the turf -- he'd never raced on dirt before winning the Derby -- in the Grade 1 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap on Feb. 9.
"I like the timing, the spacing and the surface," Motion said.
Animal Kingdom will then have 50 days until the March 30 renewal of the 10-furlong World Cup in Dubai.
"I like racing him on grass again, because it is kinder on horses, and he won over the Gulfstream Park course this year and showed a liking for it," Motion said. "He also raced on the grass a year earlier at 3. So he should feel at home.
"As for getting used to the track in Dubai, it is made of Tapeta and while it may not be exactly the same as our course at home or the one as Presque Isle, it should be close enough, so that I am not worried about how he will handle it."
Animal Kingdom finished second in the 2011 Preakness, failing to catch Shackleford at the end.

Sony is developing a PlayStation Network design upgrade that could transform the online environment into a more image-driven layout along the lines of Xbox Live and Steam, Reg Hardware has learned.
Many PSN users say the current PSN is far too text heavy, so Sony is now market-testing a new design that de-clutters the screen using what sources familiar with the new look call "an aesthetic layout with logically marked sections and rolodex lists".
The revamped PSN also packs a new, live search method with results appearing as users enter characters rather than head off to a separate text-entry page.
All change? PSN as it appears today
The movies section has been rebuilt as an IMDB-style database. When you select a film, for example, key details appear on the right of the screen, such as leading actors. Clicking through will take you to the actor's page, where you can see all of their movies.
The same exploration approach is taken with games, categorised by genre, publisher, developer and so on.
Sony is readying a 'deals of the week' section too, making it easier to pick up bargains.
It also appears the company is planning to throw out the blue colour of the current skin and opted for ultra bright colours on a black background.
In revamping PSN, Sony may be hoping to claw back customer trust lost during the hacking fiasco, which saw unhappy gamers impatiently trade PS3s for Xbox 360s.
Perhaps Sony is eager to perfect its online store in preparation of the PlayStation 4 or 3.5, rumoured yesterday to be entering production by the end of the year. ®

From: Bernard Frink email@example.com
We at our Mother County Genealogy Society in Bladen County, N. C. make up books of different families. We export the book from Family Tree Maker, version 11 and put it on a CD and then print the book. Some of the books have about 600 pages and I am having trouble with the Index and Genealogy Report matching. When we make up the genealogy report and compare it with the index separately they match.
When we preview the book it skips about 15 pages between the report and the index.
My friend exported and reimported the whole file back in GEDCOM format, as that was supposed to cure all evils. I have a Dell computer, E310, almost new and version 11 Family Tree Maker. I try to create the book in GEDCOM form but so far have flunked. The only choice on Export Book on my computer has only PDF which goes into Version 6 of Acrobat Reader.
I am 80 years old and not as sharp as some of the younger generation on computers. I have tried to send an Email to Genealogy.com [the website for Family Tree Maker] but so far have not received any reply and am not sure my e-mails went through. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate them or if not, could you suggest how I might get some help.
First, CONGRATS on working so hard to get these genealogies published. SECONDLY, the problem with Family Tree Maker support has been around since before Ancestry purchased the program & website, so it isn't you, hon.
Creating .pdf documents in multiples of (usually) 4 pages allows for a POD (print on demand) service to do the printing for you. They don't think in terms of 8.5" by 11" but print on larger pages and trim to fit as required. This means that sometimes there will be a few extra pages at the end to make the pages fit.
Printing to .PDF file format is also a logical choice, because of the need to generate an accurate (read that as "not editable" by our human hands?) table of contents and index.
Although other programs like RootsMagic allow you to save to an .rtf or text file, I do not recommend it. You'd lose pictures and formatting like BOLD or italics. It would be interesting to take the file and try it with Legacy Family Tree, RootsMagic, The Master Genealogist or some other genealogy management software to find out it their transfer to .pdf includes so many blank pages.
Rex Clements makes a program called GenBook which can take your GEDCOM file and produce a file to work with WordPerfect or Word. From his website we read "GEN-BOOK can extract the information and format it into a WordPerfect [or Word] file. Your family history information is put into readable book format along with a Title Page, Table of Contents, Chapter Headings, event notes, sources, and a two- or three-column Index of Names. You can generate a book of the descendants or ancestors of any person in your database. This program allows beginners to prepare a completely indexed and organized book from their genealogy data by only answering a few personal choice questions such as the starting person and the number of generations to be included. For the advanced users, the capabilities of WordPerfect or MS Word offers unlimited manipulation and design of text to create the masterpiece you have always wanted to create." See: http://www.foothill.net/~genbook/
Ol' Myrt here thinks it would be just fine to live with the 15 blank pages to allow space for people to make notations about additional generations as readers pour through the book in the future. That is really only 7 pieces of paper and probably not worth all the fuss.
As it is, I believe that folks will want to use the .pdf file on their computers since the file is "every word" searchable. Such digital versions of books is becoming the norm.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)

At any time of the year, it can be tough to set aside money to invest - either in your investments held in an RRSP or to purchase shares to add to your non-registered portfolio - and that is especially true in the wake of your holiday season spending. Then there's your assessment of the 'state of the market'. Will it go up? Will it go down? Should I invest now or should I wait? All valid questions, of course, but there is one simple answer: Make your investments now. Here's why.

It's impossible to time the market - just ask any knowledgeable investment professional. Trying to hit a high return and avoid a low one by jumping in and out of the market is a sure way to curtail your returns - and give you an ulcer. Time in the market is a much surer path to investment success. That's because of this historical truth: Markets always move up and down but the long haul trend is always up. So, stay true to a long-term investment strategy for higher long-term returns. For most investors, the best long-term strategy is to make your investments immediately, regardless or whether the current market is up or down. Even better, invest regularly instead of holding off and making a lump sum investment once a year - because, by investing regularly, you will accomplish these important investment goals: You get the full benefits of dollar cost averaging - meaning you make your investment purchases (by acquiring more units of investments held in an RRSP or purchasing non-registered stocks) regardless of whether the current price is low or high. Over time, the average cost of your investments will be lower and your potential for longer-term returns will be higher.

You maximize the value of your investments held in an RRSP. Your money grows tax-deferred inside your RRSP. By making regular contributions, the magic of compounding can add thousands to your retirement fund. Here's an example: Contribute $200 a month to your investments held in an RRSP (at an average compounding return of 5.5%) and you'll have $127,562 after 25 years. But if you make a single lump sum contribution each year near the RRSP deadline, your 25-year accumulation will be only $120,366. Especially at this time of year, it's difficult to find a lump sum to invest - but at any time of year, it's much easier to come up with $100-200 a month through a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plan that automatically invests an amount you choose in investments you choose. Sleep easier by always looking at the big picture. Don't worry excessively about the performance of one investment. View your investments from the perspective of your overall portfolio and your long-term goals.

By investing regularly and using a balanced investment strategy, you will achieve your financial goals. Your professional advisor can help design the plan that's best for you.
