I followed two Shaky Leaf hints from Ancestry.com. One was to the Index on Ancestry.com to the Find-A-Grave website. The other was from Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index, 1916-1947 also from a hint from Ancestry. Both hints were from within FTM2014. Oh great, two off-site hints for Indexes. I have been told many times not to use indexes. Well, that is true, but I record them as Citations in my file, That does NOT mean I would write a proof statement based on those indexes. I like to keep some bread crumbs that lead me to some additional information.
So, I had one of the indexes and found the 2nd one.
Hunt Cemetery, Crooked Creek, Jasper, Illinois, USA (the top entry) and
Hunt Cemetery, Rose Hill, Jasper, Illinois, USA (the 3rd entry)
I created a ToDo / Task to resolve this problem.
Looking at the Citations, I found the Crooked Creek entry in the Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index, 1916-1947 and the Ross Hill on Find-A-Grave.
The Find-A-Grave page didn't have any address, so I could not do much in Google Maps for that. So I turned to the Places Workspace, and brought up the Person View there for the person.
Not even close. Now what?
Looking a little closer, Bing Maps (used within FTM2014), picked up Crooked Creek and didn't pay attention to the County Name I was providing (Jasper) and took me directly to that upper arrow, near the lake.
Looking at the Ariel View didn't help either because it's farm land. My guy as a farmer and were many of his family.
Remember INDEXES. Lets look at the real item.
Here is the Index from Ancestry.com (1)
It's my guy AND it have the Family History Library Film Number: (I picked up his mother's surname from that index. Didn't have that before)
From within FTM2014, I went to Family Search.org because that Illinois source was a film at Family Search. (Hope there is an image)
This is all within FTM2014, Websearch Workspace, but I have added Family Search as one of my Favorite search spaces.
I do this, so that I can see my data in the lower Left, and the record in the upper right. Same Information. So the Index was right, but NO Images. So, I can't actually see the document. I could order it, or see if a local Family History Center has that film, OR I could look for another solution. (2)
A little closer look:
What about the Find-A-Grave (3) record that I found earlier, before I knew I had a conflict?
The images aren't as important as the fact there there IS an image of the headstone. Is that the answer to this conflict? After all, it's written "in stone". Unfortunately, I have seen too many stones with bad information, but there is still something not right.
Still have Rose Hill and Crooked Creek. Same Cemetery Name. The Find-A-Grave website, Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org weren't helping. Looking closer at Find-A-Grave starting at the county level, I found TWO cemeteries.
Rose Hill
Jasper County
|Hunt-Cummins Cemetery
See: Hunt Cemetery
Rose Hill
Jasper County
Actually, only one, but two names.
So far, everything up to now was within the Web Search Workspace. It's a powerful place to research from, but ......
Doing a Google search is how I found out about what the Bing Map had done, putting me in the wrong place, and I wasn't finding the cemetery, for sure, in the search results. UNTIL I found this website:
The above was down to Jasper County, and I went to Page 2, for the "H" for Hunt Cemetery.
Something was 'amiss' with this cemetery name, once I figured out the mapping problem..
Scrolling down this Genealogy Trails website I found the answer.
Not only that, but I had been looking earlier in the day for Boss Chapman. From with FTM2014, is some of the names I have and there is Boss Chapman. Right place and dates, so at this point right families. (will get back to that later).
Scrolling down further I found my person.
If you were to compare the two lists, you will see a number of the same people. The other people on this website are probably not entered into my database, because I am trying to stay with Direct Lines. The names I saw were from Census Records.
Bottom line here. It's the SAME Cemetery, with at least three names. I was able to re-create these steps because I HAD cited my "index" sources. The answer wasn't in the index, but I was able to resolve the conflicting information because I did.

A new, revolutionary weighing technology has recently been developed by Scientech. Since this progressive technology is so exceptional, a patent has been filed and is currently pending. In addition, this innovative technology is now the foundation for a new series of electronic balances which carry Scientech's "Zeta" trademark.
The heart of the new Zeta Series is based on a direct-loading, electromagnetic, force-restoration cell concept, which differs dramatically from normal lever-configuration sensor designs. Thus Zeta models have a more elegant design with fewer moving parts. The result is a more rugged balance with an easily repairable, modular sensor while preserving high performance.
In addition, each unrivaled Zeta model is handcrafted in the USA and retains all the accuracy, durability, and use-friendly standard features you have come to expect from Scientech. The benefits inherent in the Zeta Series also empower Scientech to offer you a new North American 5-year warranty backed by Scientech's ISO9001 certification.

People are making a big deal out of the epic bar tab this week (full version here), but I don't see why. Far as I can tell, it was just another Tuesday night in the Board Room, Chicago's epicenter of cool. Another Tuesday night with the top people in the Midwest. Have you been to the Board Room? It's awesome. Let me hit you with some info from the "boutique" nightclub's website:
The design of BOARD ROOM's multi-level seating grants those seated at one of its ten tables a voyeuristic view of the entire space including direct sightlines into the DJ booth as well as the rain showers incorporated into the bottle display showcasing the city's sexiest performers. A lighting system comparable to those found in the largest clubs in the world and top entertainers keep the energy levels high, encouraging clients to dance atop the booths in groups as large as 40 people. ...
Yeah, that's how it's done. Also:
As a complimentary amenity, BOARD ROOM offers a Hummer H1 limo accommodates thirty passengers and can pick up clientele from any location in the city to transport them to the venue. The thirty two foot LED-lit bar is stocked with the finest spirits from around the world, including rare Japanese scotch and premium tequilas. The Champagne selection, however, is the star of the show with an emphasis on cuvees, rosés, and large formats from the finest houses in France.
Yeah, brah. Hummer limos are the only way to travel. And Japanese scotch is totally Bill Murray in Lost in Translation. So awesome and classy. Taste it. Taste the class. You love the fucking taste of the Board Room's class. One reader tells us that the Board Room even pays a guy to dress up in a furry monster costume and run around the club to get the party hopping. If you want to throw napkins at other top people in the club, you can. It's also encouraged. So now you got the idea. You got a feel for the class and the people in this joint.
And that's when the willowy kid with the hair and his chesty friend walk in. Zac Efron and Heather Graham. Whatever. Just another Tuesday night at the Board Room. Anyone who needs to cool off better run under the rain showers. If an A-lister walks in, then you get to throw napkins or kick the furry monster in the nuts. I guess the Russian didn't get the message though. The Russian had been putting it down with his friends: two Grey Goose magnum bottles at $625 each, two magnums of Dom Perignon Luminous at $1250 apiece, four bottles of Cristal at $1000 each. Goddamn Russians. This one was pooping dollars. He was the son of a billionaire, at least according to the media reports that came out later. He was a fool. No idea how to properly generate an epic bar tab. You don't stick to bottle service and champagne. You mix it up. Epic bar tabs are about variance. You go high, then you go low. And when you go low, you max it out with quantity. You order 592 Bud Lights. Just to freak out the squares. You buy Red Bull for everybody in the club. You throw in some berry drinks, like the Bruins did after they won the Cup. Above all, you have a sense of humor. Russian billionaire brats don't understand that. They are mirthless cretins who don't know shit about drinking. They disgrace their people.
I'd like to blame Efron for something—for High School Musical, at the very least. But he's faultless. This is all on the Russian. When he sees two minor celebrities making their way into his VIP section, he grows excited. Perhaps his Russian leg thumps up and down. His grubby Russian hands might clutch at designer jeans before clutching at Papa's credit card. For what he is about to do, Papa should beat him. Papa should beat him to death with his granite fists. But Papa will not, and the Russian knows it. Jasmine, the Russian says thickly, I want the Ace of Spades. I want the Nebuchadnezzer. The gold one. I must present it to my new friends. Their names are Zac and Heather, and they are here in the Board Room on a Tuesday night. I want to be loved, Jasmine. Forever. Please note that you will also receive a 20 percent gratuity of $22,510 for your assistance.
Somewhere in a real VIP room, "Champagne King" Don Johnson sadly shakes his head.

What do you do when your name is mostly synonymous with ridiculously demeaning ads? Give $500,000 to create a women's clinic! Let's review exactly what GoDaddy is trying to whitewash.
The donation to Phoenix's Southwest Center for AIDS will create a center specifically to address women's concerns. While the cause is noble, the donation size is low on the spectrum of PR-driven charity — remember Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million Social Network-coinciding donation to Newark schools.

Throughout 2020, PEAT is exploring the role that technology can play in breaking down barriers to employment and ensuring accessibility, equality, and opportunity for all. Please join us!
Facebook's Director of Accessibility Jeff Wieland and Director of Global Policy Monica Desai recently joined PEAT to discuss why and how Facebook has made accessibility a priority.
Self-driving cars show exciting promise to address existing barriers for people with disabilities traveling to and from work—as long as developers incorporate accessibility into these technologies from the start.
Rachel Kerrigan of the Perkins-Business Partnership joined PEAT Talks to discuss how they are helping to bridge the hiring gap for people with disabilities by educating HR professionals online about common barriers to access.
The annual HR Technology Conference is always an essential event for PEAT, given their focus on technology tools and trends shaping the field of human resources. This year we left feeling more excited and energized than ever, because the topic of accessibility is finally starting to take hold in the hearts and minds of HR Tech stakeholders.
Last month's M-Enabling Summit brought international leaders together from a range of fields connected to the promotion and advancement of accessible mobile applications—and allowed PEAT to advance key actions related to accessible technology issues impacting employment though a policy roundtable and a panel discussion.
According to a new survey report by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 84% of organizations are now using social media for recruiting, up from 56% in 2011. These survey results add detail and paint a picture of what has become obvious: more and more, employers are posting job openings and information for job seekers on social media. And when these posts are not accessible, employers may be missing out on top talent.
One of the great promises of technology is that it can, and should, open the doors for people with disabilities to participate in the workplace by eliminating barriers. But when Deque web accessibility consultant and strategist Denis Boudreau investigated the basic accessibility of five top job hunting sites, the results were grim.
Deputy Secretary of Labor Chris Lu discusses his takeaways from meeting with the great Stevie Wonder and hundreds of other dedicated leading accessibility "stars" at last month's International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference (CSUN).
As businesses compete to attract talented, skilled employees, it's important to make sure that artificial barriers aren't blocking their path. In this cautionary tale, Sassy Outwater explains how employers may be missing out on top candidates when their online hiring and recruiting systems aren't accessible.
The terms "accessibility" and "universal design" are often used together these days. But what is actually meant by these two terms? Sina Bahram, a digital accessibility expert, broke it down for us at our January PEAT Talk.
For several members of the PEAT team, October was a busy month of travel, talk, and trend spotting as we headed west to attend three conferences: the Coleman Institute on Cognitive Disabilities Annual Conference; HR Technology Conference and Expo (HR Tech); and the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) Access 2015. All presented valuable opportunities for our team to learn, share knowledge, examine future trends, and identify ways to strengthen PEAT's work.
If you'll be attending CSUN, we hope you'll join PEAT for A Fresh Look at Accessibility and Online Job Applications. During this session, Joiwind Ronen and Josh Christianson will share PEAT's research findings on this critical topic.
An introductory blog post officially announcing the launch of PEATworks.org, an interactive online resource focused on accessible technology in the workplace.

I quite enjoyed this. I am sure you will too…
I'm a fairly qualified 28yr old, "middle class" citizen. Yet for some reason I read I must apologise and pay for the sins of apartheid, an era I wasn't around to benefit from, nor contribute too.
I went through government schooling all my life, and from grade 1, our class was a mix of White, Black and Indian students. Blissfully playing on the fields, and seeing no colour, we were all friends.
This only changed when we got to high school, and main stream media started making us aware of the fact that the colour of our skin made us different in some way.
My outlook changed when I saw past school mates in an ANC march, demanding that BEE wasn't enough, and that white people need to relinquish the riches to the poor impoverished and previously disadvantaged. I went to school with these people, had the same education, played at each other's houses in the suburbs, some of their families better off than mine, yet here we are, you demanding from me, a past equal, something I don't have to give, nor would I give!
What made you so angry at me, what did I do?
Since leaving school, I didn't have the money to study straight away, so racked the internet for free qualifications, and studied like crazy to achieve today, 42 qualifications in total, 40 of which I have not spent a cent on. But then on enquiring, found that after school, the particular protester had achieved nothing. So now we are not equal anymore are we? I was dealt the same hand as you, but I flourished and made the best of a difficult situation, while you chose to accept defeat, and then have the audacity to scream at me to relinquish my riches to you? I think not. Not even close, not even marginally within 100 miles would I feel a morsel of remorse or sympathy for you.
Is it just me, or is anybody else seeing the humour in this on a daily basis. Must be me going crazy, surely, that's the only rational presumption, because a whole nation couldn't be wrong could they, surely not…maybe I do need to apologise?
We are the only country in the world, IN THE WORLD, that enforces a policy, by law, to favour the majority over the minority. StatsSA census reveals there are close on 47 million Black people, and 4 million white people. You only need to look at those figures to realise just how pathetic BEE truly is. 47 million protecting themselves against 4 million. Somewhere along the line, government skewed the lines of morality and made it law to have a BEE partner to gain tenders. So I must give, not sell, give BEE a third of my hard worked business, for doing…Nothing? We must just call them to sit in on meetings to add a face to the meeting room to acquire contracts. So enforcing BEE upon businesses did not assist in equipping new black business people to empower themselves, it actually encouraged laziness and the will to demand more, why, because if you gave me this, I want more of that…
Is it just me, or is anybody else seeing the humour in BEE on a daily basis. Must be me going crazy, surely, that's the only rational presumption, because a whole constitutional policy couldn't be ridiculous could it, surely not?
The irony of the protests amazes me. There are roughly 7 "service Delivery and wage" protests a day, at a cost of R2.3m a day. This accounts for property damage, extra staffing to baby sit protestors…etc. You protest by burning tyres and destroying property, all of which must be repaired or replaced, and cleaned up. So instead of dedicating numerous staff to increasing service delivery, we have them rather clean up after protestors every single day. Where is the sense in that?
Not to mention, that the cost of the protests, every day, is the equivalent to 23 RDP houses at R100 000 each. Every single day, the protestors cost 23 RDP houses, which is not only R840m a year, but 8400 RDP houses.
Not only is this figure amazing to me, but it's achievable only by behaving during protests. But no, we burn tyres, destroy property, throw bricks, attack police, adorn ourselves with pangas, machetes, and knob-kierries (oh…its traditional…rubbish). We charge police, kill some, and then are up in arms when the police shoot back like it's a complete travesty, and lay murder charges against them?
You charge with pangas and machetes, with intent to kill…and then are mortified that they didn't use proper force as in they should have instead used rubber bullets and tear gas? So let's get this right…You charge to kill, and I must put my life in danger and slap you with a fly swatter? If you are big enough to know what you are doing, then you are big enough to receive the consequences.
Somewhere along the way, it became normal practice to demand something you aren't entitled to, instead of working for it.
Is it just me, or is anybody else seeing the humour in these protests on a daily basis. Must be me going crazy, surely, that's the only rational presumption, because thousands of protesters couldn't be incompetent could they, surely not?
ANC took over in 1994, renegaded all white and Indian participants in government who had the expertise, and replaced their cabinet with ministers that can barely tell their arse from their elbows, and wonder why the country has gone backward. Non performing ministers are shuffled around to another ill perceived position of power, aggravating even more the damage they have already done.
Our president is near illiterate, and incompetent is putting it lightly. Dumped textbooks, service delivery, health, education..etc is going down the toilet, but nothing is ever done…Why? Because the uneducated outnumber educated two fold, and would vote rather on skin colour and promises of grants than make informed decisions. Corruption is daily job hazard in South Africa, till the point where its almost blasé. Corruption and incompetence, old news man, what else? Wonder what Schabir Shaik is up to these days? Hope his fatal blood pressure is ok while he's playing golf.
Jacob Zuma accused of rape and the biggest corruption charge in history, and where is he today, that's right, president of the country he screwed over. To think Bill Clinton was kicked out of power for receiving a mutual pleasure by Monica. Jungle justice for you.
Is it just me, or is anybody else seeing the humour in this government on a daily basis. Must be me going crazy, surely, that's the only rational presumption, because a whole government couldn't be incompetent could they, surely not?
Ah Yes, Malema, Shivambu, Lamola…same china, different vagina right?
Who are ANCYL? Young ANC members I'm guessing…but wait, they spend their days throwing hate at the ANC. So the child, is hating its daddy? We exist because of you, but now we don't like you. "We will kill for ANC" today…but tomorrow "we will eradicate you."
Nationalise the mines they say…ok…let's ponder upon that for just a sec, humour me. Regardless of the economic meltdown that will take place, you will chase away foreign investment, and just in case you are confused, it's that very investment that allow most of your "League" members to have jobs. You are constantly droning on about non service delivery and how the ANC are fat cats and can't get the job done…You do realise what nationalisation is don't you Youth League? Its government owned enterprises, which would mean theoretically ANC owned…the same ANC you claim can't do the job…?
So anyways, lets for shoots and giggles say ok, the mines are yours. Now they are in the hands of government that you don't like. You want to take South Africa's biggest export and investment, and hand it to people that clearly can't even provide basic human amenities? Envision the management of the mines run by the same people who run home affairs? Say no more…
But wait, that's not enough, is it? No, you have nationalised the mines "for the people", but how do you distribute this income to the people? The workers are saying "Where is my share of the wealth, the mine belongs to us!" So they strike, again, against you, for wage increases and shares in the wealth, and you plead with them that it's a business and has costs and can't meet their wage demands. So what has changed, other than gaining this stupid notion of "economic freedom" and causing the economic meltdown of the industry, as well as chasing away the influx of foreign investment, social upliftment schemes, tax money, and jobs?
Oh, and land distribution without compensation, how can we forget that ol friend of yours.
"Shoot the boer" we know, we know, we know, bla bla bla.
What do you intend to do with these farms you take? During the first round of redistribution, and thousands of farms were acquired, it has been proven beyond contestation, that it did not work. Working and productive farms were destroyed, without yield, and a booming export of farm yield, turned to an import. Export to import = cost to country, congrats on the turn around there. So it hasn't worked, yet you want it more? BUT, now you say the farms should be taken without compensation, and the white farmers should stay to teach the new affirmative guys to use his farm. So let's get this right…you take his farm and livelihood, and want him to teach the new guys how to use it? Really?
Oh, and let's not forget, you want government to give grants to the new farmers to get them up and running…although the farms are already running and productive. So just to add, so I'm not making any mistakes… take farm, give to another, make farmer teach non farmer invader to farm, throw money at him, watch farm fail...? That about sum it up? Good idea you have there.
I don't really appreciate being called "Mlungu", as much as you don't appreciate being called you know what, so what gives you the right to say it at rallies? I say it, and I'm racist, you say it and its free speech. You have money, and it's celebrated that you fought the "struggle" even though you weren't born yet, I have money and I'm a capitalist pig and must share the wealth. I have a fancy car, I'm a capitalist pig, yet you have many fancy cars, but you deserve them for being the voice of the poor. I can't afford a house, yet you have a mansion, but you are a voice of the poor and I'm a capitalist pig. As a matter of fact, any white person is by default just a capitalist pig aren't we? Just checking. One thing is for sure though, I pay my taxes, but you are being investigate by SARS. But I'm the pig, and you are pro poor.
I find it interesting that just when you are on the verge of being arrested because of tax evasion, you all of a sudden pop up to defend miners, an easy situation to manipulate. Why, because im guess that's your backup plan when they come to arrest you isn't it? "It's the Mlungu, they want me arrested for helping you," and your followers will come running. Clever, ill give you that one.
We will make the mines and Western Cape "Ungovernable"…Really? We want service delivery and education, but we will make you ungovernable, and by definition leave you unable to provide any service delivery…? Once again, Really? I'm no professor in intimidation, but openly threatening to make a whole province or industry ungovernable sounds a whole lot like intimidation to me. But hey, this is South African, and the ANCYL, you are the law, right? Does anything happen, no, course not, legal practice, naturally.
Watched your interview with BBC this morning, Julius. Thanks for making a complete fool of yourself in front of the whole world. Would have been nice if you could have at least answered one of her questions, but alas, maybe you didn't understand them. And please, you don't even know what a REVOLUTION is, so please stop with that word. There is no damn revolution, and please, wtf is an "Agent"? As cool a title like "Agent" would be to add to my name, I can't understand it in context of your speeches. But hey "Don't touch me on my studio"
Is it just me, or is anybody else seeing the humour in ANCYL on a daily basis. Must be me going crazy, surely, that's the only rational presumption, because a whole party with tens of thousands of members couldn't be incompetent could they, surely not?
There are roughly 2 million tax paying individuals outside of the government sector, paying for roughly 48 million people in grants and aid. This means that each tax paying individual supports up to 24 people. You don't need to be a brain surgeon to realise the impossibility of this being a solution going forward.
The voting population or rather the amount of people who can vote is, by StatsSA, is about 32 million (those of age). Now as per above, only 2 million are tax paying individuals. So we have a further tragic realisation that the contributing members of society don't have the ability to change the outcome of the vote, as we are too few, and the uneducated and unemployed, who are currently receiving grants and promises of further grants, will vote for the hand that feed every time. Because of the lack of education, you cannot argue, debate, or persuade the majority as this would mean them seeing the situation rationally, a trait which comes with education. Informed and educated decisions thus fall to the way side, and voters side with that which promises everything, regardless of whether than can deliver. Even an idiot can persuade somebody who doesn't know better. So here we are, with ANC in power, forever as I hear it, and I don't doubt that. Why do I say that? Well clearly education isn't a priority in the ANC as uneducated populations don't ask questions, nor do they see you for what they are. Keep masses in the dark, check!
I'm quite peeved that my fellow 2 million tax payers have to pay close on R500 000 000 for Jacob's multiple amorous discrepancies (multiple wives) over the next 5 years, as budgeted for by the government.
I'm quite peeved that while I'm being called a capitalist pig for not sharing my non-existent "wealth", Jacob is trying to acquire hundred-of-seats luxury Boeing planes for R2 Billion. Just so that we are on the same page her, that's R2 000 000 000, or equivalent to 20 000 Houses, all because he wants his own jet.
I'm peeved that I, and even my little brother, who at his age was nothing but a glint in my father's eye, are told we must pay for apartheid.
I'm peeved that even after being expelled, Julius is given a stage to incite violence.
I'm peeved that even though I'm a tax payer, I pay for private security, private schooling, private medical, even though they are the very things I'm paying government for.
I'm peeved that the ignorance of the nation still believes the cataclysmic failure by the ANC to provide, is still caused by a regime ousted 18 years ago
I'm peeved that my whole family have left the country (I'm the only one left) out of fear of a future.
I'm peeved that protesters do what they want while law enforcement does nothing.
I'm peeved that every night I live in fear of being robbed and murdered.
I'm peeved that as an Mlungu, I'm told I don't belong here.
But most of all, I'm peeved that I'm angry. I'm angry because we are NOT a rainbow nation, and anybody that thinks we are is either an idiot or lying to themselves. We are as divided as we have ever been. We started making progress, but somehow the path was lost along the way.
The question is how do we get back there. How do we mend the divide?
How do we encourage hard work and competency to achieve?
How do we change the mind-set of a nation we lost control of?
How do we learn to love our country again?
Now I ask you, Is it just me, or is anybody else seeing the humour in this country on a daily basis. Must be me going crazy, surely, that's the only rational presumption, because a whole country with millions of people couldn't be wrong could they, surely not?

Car seat and booster seat designs are, for the most part, very similar: manufacturers have figured out the basic combination of elements that keep kids safe in the car, and they recombine those elements to create child safety seats that are attractive, comfy, and provide protection for our children when emergencies happen.
It's easy to forget, however, that those basic elements only do their job to protect your child if the car seat is installed correctly. The Britax Frontier 90 Combination Harness-2-Booster™, which accommodates kids from 25 to 120 pounds, features the latest advance in car seat installation: the CLICKTIGHT™ Installation System makes it easier than ever to install your seat correctly every time, using your car's vehicle safety belt. Color-coded safety belt guides help you get it right in harness or booster mode, and premium lower LATCH connectors are included, as well.
The Britax Frontier 90 is loaded with the latest car seat safety technology, including:
True Side Impact Protection: The Frontier 90 car seat/booster has deep side walls and a head restraint lined with energy-absorbing EPP foam, which distributes crash forces, shields your child from vehicle intrusion, and contains her head, neck, and body to keep them properly aligned.
SafeCell Technology: The base of the Frontier 90 Harness-2-Booster incorporates SafeCell Technology which compresses in the event of a crash, lowering the center of gravity and reducing the forward movement of the car seat. Product Dimensions Harness Min (in): 19W × 28H × 21D Integrated Steel Bars: This structure strengthens the connection of the car seat to the vehicle and reduces forward flexing of the seat in the event of a crash.
Energy-Absorbing Versa Tether: The top tether uses a two-point attachment to anchor the top of the seat to the vehicle, minimizing the forward motion of the seat. It also integrates stage-released stitching which reduces the crash forces that reach your child.
HUGS (Harness Ultra Guard System): These chest pads provide resistance to forward movement.
Compatible with SecureGuard™: This system, sold separately, works with the vehicle belt in booster mode to prevent your child from sliding under the lap-belt portion of the safety belt during impact, reducing the risk of abdominal injury.
Harness: The tangle-free five-point car seat harness is designed to distribute crash forces across the strongest parts of a child's body; it has 10 harness height positions, up to 20.5", and has two buckle positions for a precise fit. The Quick-Adjust No-Rethread Harness system makes it easy to adjust the harness shoulder height and head restraint from the front of the seat without disassembling the harness straps, and the EZ-Buckle™ System retains the harness in forward position and keeps your child from sitting on it while boarding.
Of course, the Britax Frontier 90 Combination Harness-2-Booster™ child safety seat wouldn't be complete without plenty of comfort and convenience features: it includes an easy front-adjust recline, ComfortFoam padding, ample integrated cupholders and storage, and cozy armrests. Finally, the Easy-Remove cover comes off without disassembling the harness or removing the seat, making cleaning your car seat simple.
In short, the Britax Frontier 90 Combination Harness-2-Booster™ is a complete package, incorporating state-of-the-art child safety seat technology and making it incredibly easy to keep your child safe on the go.
Forward-facing harness mode – Use from 2 years/25 lbs up to 90 lbs
Belt-positioning booster mode – Use from 45-62" tall, 40-120 lbs
Product Weight (lbs): 25

Thanks for this thought-provoking post GEDCOM, Software, Online Trees and Syncing, describing how a typical genealogist may utilize current processes for syncing and sharing genealogy data. How I wish the vendors would take note.
I have no interest in syncing my data in a "borg tree" as Tamura Jones calls them, where another researcher can independently modify my previously uploaded data without my knowledge or permission. (This model is currently expressed by Geni.com and FamilySearch.com among others.) Such a sync would effectively wipe away the integrity of my personal database.
Ancestry.com trees currently supports a better model for syncing - sorta. There I can accept or ignore suggestions from the trees of other researchers, yet my tree is out there for collaborative purposes. I would like to sync my tree and attached image files with my pc-based data. I do not however, want to be forced to use Family Tree Maker. In fact I use several genealogy management programs for the variety of views, report layouts, etc.
From what I've heard a planned version of AncestorSync will be designed to sync to multiple platforms simultaneously. But unfortunately V1 syncs with a borg tree. It's partner organization, Ohana Software produces Family Insight a program adept at syncing with FamilySearch, so syncing isn't new to this team.
We shall see what the future holds. I just want to seamlessly share my data with my new-found cousin Russ.
The Ideal Genealogy System by Louis Kessler.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
Your friend in genealogy.

Vitiligo is a long-term condition where pale white patches develop on the skin. It's caused by the lack of melanin, a pigment in the skin.
Vitiligo can affect any area of skin, but most commonly occurs on the face, neck and hands, and in skin creases.
The pale areas of skin are more vulnerable to sunburn ↗, so it's important to take extra care when in the sun and use a sunscreen ↗ with a high sun protection factor (SPF).
Symptoms of vitiligo
The areas most commonly affected by vitiligo include:
- the skin around your mouth and eyes
- fingers and wrists
- armpits
- groin
- genitals
- inside your mouth
It can also sometimes develop where there are hair roots, such as on your scalp. The lack of melanin in your skin can turn the hair in the affected area white or grey.
Vitiligo often starts as a pale patch of skin that gradually turns completely white. The centre of a patch may be white, with pale skin around it. If there are blood vessels under the skin, the patch may be slightly pink, rather than white.
The edges of the patch may be smooth or irregular. They're sometimes red and inflamed, or there's brownish discolouration (hyperpigmentation).
Vitiligo doesn't cause discomfort to your skin, such as dryness, but the patches may occasionally be itchy.
The condition varies from person to person. Some people only get a few small, white patches, but others get bigger white patches that join up across large areas of their skin.
There's no way of predicting how much skin will be affected. The white patches are usually permanent.
Types of vitiligo
There are two main types of vitiligo:
- non-segmental vitiligo
- segmental vitiligo
In rare cases, it's possible for vitiligo to affect your whole body. This is known as universal or complete vitiligo.
Non-segmental vitiligo
In non-segmental vitiligo (also called bilateral or generalised vitiligo), the symptoms often appear on both sides of your body as symmetrical white patches.
Symmetrical patches can appear on the:
- backs of your hands
- arms
- skin around body openings, such as the eyes
- knees
- elbows
- feet
Non-segmental vitiligo is the most common type of vitiligo, affecting around 9 out of 10 people with the condition.
Segmental vitiligo
In segmental vitiligo (also known as unilateral or localised vitiligo), the white patches only affect one area of your body.
Segmental vitiligo is less common than non-segmental vitiligo, although it's more common in children. It usually starts earlier and affects 3 in 10 children with vitiligo.
What causes vitiligo?
Vitiligo is caused by the lack of a pigment called melanin in the skin. Melanin is produced by skin cells called melanocytes, and it gives your skin its colour.
In vitiligo, there aren't enough working melanocytes to produce enough melanin in your skin. This causes white patches to develop on your skin or hair. It's not clear exactly why the melanocytes disappear from the affected areas of skin.
Autoimmune conditions
Non-segmental vitiligo (the most common type) is thought to be an autoimmune condition.
In autoimmune conditions, the immune system doesn't work properly. Instead of attacking foreign cells, such as viruses, your immune system attacks your body's healthy cells and tissue.
If you have non-segmental vitiligo, your immune system destroys the melanocyte skin cells that make melanin.
Vitiligo is also associated with other autoimmune conditions, such as hyperthyroidism ↗ (an overactive thyroid gland), but not everyone with vitiligo will develop these conditions.
Risk factors
You may be at increased risk of developing non-segmental vitiligo if:
- other members of your family have it
- there's a family history of other autoimmune conditions – for example, if one of your parents has pernicious anaemia ↗ (an autoimmune condition that affects the stomach)
- you have another autoimmune condition
- you have melanoma ↗ (a type of skin cancer) or cutaneous T-cell lymphoma ↗ (cancer of the lymphatic system)
- you have particular changes in your genes that are known to be linked to non-segmental vitiligo
Segmental vitiligo (the less common type) is thought to be caused by chemicals released from the nerve endings in your skin. These chemicals are poisonous to the melanocyte skin cells.
It's possible that vitiligo may be triggered by particular events, such as:
- stressful events, like childbirth
- skin damage, such as severe sunburn or cuts (this is known as the Koebner response)
- exposure to certain chemicals – for example, at work
Vitiligo isn't caused by an infection and you can't catch it from someone else who has it.
Diagnosing vitiligo
Your GP will be able to diagnose vitiligo after examining the affected areas of skin.
They may ask whether:
- there's a history of vitiligo in your family
- there's a history of other autoimmune conditions in your family
- you've injured the affected areas of skin – for example, whether you've had sunburn or a severe rash there
- you tan easily in the sun, or whether you burn
- any areas of skin have got better without treatment, or whether they're getting worse
- you've tried any treatments already
Your GP may also ask you about the impact vitiligo has on your life. For example, how much it affects your confidence and self-esteem, and whether it affects your job.
Wood's lamp
If available, your GP may use an ultraviolet (UV) lamp called a Wood's lamp to look at your skin in more detail. You'll need to be in a dark room and the lamp will be held 10 to 13cm (4 to 5in) away from your skin.
The patches of vitiligo will be easier to see under the UV light, which will help your GP distinguish vitiligo from other skin conditions, such as pityriasis versicolor (where there's a loss of pigment due to a fungal infection).
Other autoimmune conditions
As non-segmental vitiligo is closely associated with other autoimmune conditions, you may be assessed to see whether you have any symptoms that could suggest an autoimmune condition, such as:
- being tired and lacking energy (signs of Addison's disease ↗)
- being thirsty and needing to urinate frequently (signs of diabetes ↗)
A blood test ↗ may also be needed to check how well your thyroid gland is functioning.
Treating vitiligo
The white patches caused by vitiligo are usually permanent, although treatment options are available to improve the appearance of your skin.
If the patches are relatively small, skin camouflage cream can be used to cover them up.
In general, combination treatments, such as phototherapy (treatment with light) and medication, give the best results.
Although treatment may help restore colour to your skin, the effect doesn't usually last. Treatment can't stop the condition spreading.
Read more about treating vitiligo ↗.
Complications of vitiligo
Vitiligo can sometimes cause other problems.
Because of a lack of melanin, your skin will be more vulnerable to the effects of the sun. Make sure you use a strong sunscreen ↗ to avoid sunburn ↗.
Vitiligo may also be associated with problems with your eyes, such as inflammation of the iris (iritis ↗), and a partial loss of hearing (hypoacusis).
Problems with confidence and self-esteem are common in people with vitiligo, particularly if it affects areas of skin that are frequently exposed.
Help and support
Support groups can provide help and advice, and may be able to put you in contact with other people with vitiligo.
Your GP may suggest a group in your local area, and charities such as The Vitiligo Society ↗ may also be able to help.

you need to know about Scope
recommended reading:
Today Ill continue my talk about Scope related issues within Javascript. Last time I said that the this keyword references the object providing the current scope and I mentioned, that this can mess up, if youre using object methods instead of functions.
function ForumMember(Name) { this.name = Name; } ForumMember.prototype.introduce = function () { alert("Hi, my name is " + this.name); } // instantiate object var d = new ForumMember("Dormilich"); // call normally d.introduce(); // Hi, my name is Dormilich // call from an event document.dic.introduction.onclick = d.introduce; // Hi, my name is introduction
Why this happens should be easy to understand. Event handlers set this to the current HTML element and they dont differentiate between global functions and object methods (btw. if youre strict, there is no difference between them).
Then why do we use objects, if they are that disadvantageous? Because the advantages are far greater (data encapsulation, code re-use) and a fix is quickly done. It is not an option to replace this in the object itself (the prototyped methods can only reference the objects other properties/methods* via this and not prototyping methods (if you can) is hilarious). The only option we have is to somehow fixate the this, so that is is not re-assigned. For this purpose we can make use of Closures, a powerful construct not only known in Javascript.
A "closure" is an expression (typically a function) that can have free variables together with an environment that binds those variables (that "closes" the expression).
With this in mind, we can thus shift the level of the method code out of the event handlers reach.
document.dic.introduction.onclick = function (evt) { d.introduce(); );
The closured variable is d, the evt parameter is declared for convenience, since this is the parameter that is always passed to the function, when the event handler executes.
Soon enough, poeple got tired from writing that again and again and they thought of a more convenient way to apply (no pun intended) the closure. Again, object oriented programming came to aid. Since the Event Handler had to be a function, whats easier than extending the Function object?
// closuring "this" in an out-of-scope call (Events) Function.prototype.bind = function (obj) { var fn = this; return function () { return fn.apply(obj, arguments); } }
To explain that code a bit. "Function" is the interface all Javascript functions adhere to. this stands for the function that calls the .bind() method and fn and obj are the closured variables. arguments is a "magic" variable of the function object, holding the list** of passed parameters. calling the .bind() method produces a function with fixated variables (see snippet below).
// fn & obj are fixated through a closure function () { return fn.apply(obj, arguments); } // it does look like our previous solution
With that tool in hand, you can closure your object variables very comfortably***.
document.dic.introduction.onclick = d.introduce.bind(d);
Whats even more useful is that all parameters passed to the function initially, are passed further to the closured function (something youd have to do manually in the previous example). This might not be of interest in our example case, but in cases where you use an objects method that does work with the Event object.
In this talk Im merely scratching the topic of Closures, which is a powerful coding technique, you should definitely add to your tool box.
* strictly speaking, in Javascript there is no difference between properties and methods (a common trap in the for in loop).
** this is not an Array
*** you could even "misuse" it to pass down a parameter in an Event Handler, although currying is better suited for that.
function add5() { alert(5 + this); } document.dic.plus5.onclick = add5.bind(7);

Fall 2013 Anglo-Celtic Roots
There are a number of articles in this issue, and they are –
The Cowley Family Saga: From Sherwood Forest to the NHL – Part I by Christine Jackson which talks about the role that the Crowley family (they arrived in the Ottawa area from England in the 1830s) played in the development of the Ottawa Valley, and of Champlain Park, a housing development in the west end of Ottawa in the 1950s.
Found in a Monastery? by Brian D. Cook is a summary of what happened to tracing his maternal great-grandfather – Cuthbert Baker – from help by the BIFHSGO society, and genetic genealogy. .. and the records of the Benedictine Monastery in Europe.
The Cutler Genealogical Odyssey by Gillian Leitch tells of she successfully traced John Cutler from Eton, England who was employed as a clerk at the Tower of London. It is a fascinating story!
In the From the President message, Glenn Wright, says that they have imitated two projects that will result in two databases – the pre-Confederate immigrants from the British Isles (which will hold important names for researchers), and the second one will concern the First World War.

Passion fruit can be grown on a fence, trellis or arbor. There are at least six native species of Passiflora in the united states incarnata, lutea, multiflora, pallens, sexflora, and suberosa. Passiflora incarnata is of its cousins with showy with pink and purple 4-inch-wide flowers appearing readily throught the vine. The passionfruit vine is a shallow-rooted, woody, perennial, climbing by means of tendrils. The alternate, evergreen leaves, deeply 3-lobed when mature, are finely toothed, 3 to 8 in long, A single, fragrant flower, 2 to 3 in wide, is borne at each node on the new growth. The bloom, clasped by 3 large, green, leaflike bracts, consists of 5 greenish-white sepals, 5 white petals, a fringelike corona of straight, white-tipped rays, rich purple at the base, also 5 stamens with large anthers, the ovary, and triple-branched style forming a prominent central structure. The flower of the yellow is the more showy, with more intense color. The nearly round or ovoid fruit, 1 1/2 to 3 in wide, has a tough rind, smooth, waxy, ranging in hue from dark-purple with faint, fine white specks, to light-yellow or pumpkin-color. It is 1/8 in thick, adhering to a 1/4 in layer of white pith. Within is a cavity more or less filled with an aromatic mass of double-walled, membranous sacs filled with orange-colored, pulpy juice. The flavor is appealing and stays the main ingredient in Hawiian Punch. Passion fruit can grow 50' feet in a year. The fruits are harvested throughout the growing season in the summer months.

Although there has been a lot of progress in South Africa in recent years income distribution in the country is among the most unequal in the world.
Almost 57 per cent of the population are living in poverty, and of these, two thirds are Africans. It is estimated that up to 50,000 children die each year from malnutrition or diseases that would be curable with adequate medical care.
It has never been more important to sponsor a child in South Africa.
Charity World Vision, one of the world's leading relief and development agencies, has developed a child sponsorship scheme which links people in more affluent countries with individual children in developing countries around the world, including South Africa.
Participants in the programme say that becoming a child sponsor is a meaningful and rewarding experience for both the child and the sponsor.
The scheme is simple and easy to join. Would-be-sponsors select online, from the World Vision website, where they would like to sponsor a child – for example in South Africa. The web site then brings up the details of a child according to the criteria that the would-be-sponsor specifies, with a picture, details of their age, hobbies and situation.
If the sponsor wishes to go ahead, the sponsorship can begin right there in then. Sponsors fill out a form and a direct relationship is set up between the sponsor and the child in South Africa.
Sponsors are sent an information pack with further details about the child in South Africa. The sponsor can, in turn, then communicate with the child directly by sending letters and cards. You can even make a visit if you want to, to the community where the child lives.
The charity keeps the sponsor updated on the work that is being carried out in the child's community in partnership with local people. Sponsors receive annual reports on the progress of the child, including such information as how they are getting on at school.
The sponsor's support provides the essentials a child needs to survive such as clean water, basic healthcare and enough food. It also provides an education to try to break the cycle of poverty in South Africa.
But, the charity points out, the direct relationship between the sponsor and the child also gives the child hope through the knowledge that someone cares. Although each is of course different, every sponsored child has one thing in common says World Vision - the knowledge that someone thousands of miles away cares enough about their future to help them.
Child sponsors say that it is also far more rewarding than simply giving an anonymous donation; "I have been amazed by the way the rewards far exceed the contributions I send. Watching my sponsored child grow and flourish is every bit as exciting and wonderful as watching my own children and grandchildren mature" one sponsor said.
"We've given money to charity before, but this is different because you see the person that you're helping; they're not a number or a faceless person, they're real" said another child sponsor.
Child sponsorship is also entirely affordable, and shows how a little money can go a long way. Child sponsorship costs just 60p a day, which World Vision points out is the price of a bottle of mineral water or a can of soft drink.

I'm not sure if many of you heard (I'll bet Bullet Hole did) but we had a weird, freak storm Monday morning. It sounded like the house was going through a car wash (something I'd personally like to see sometime). All power was off. This was followed by a very loud CRACK, which was obediently followed by a crash and the earth shaking.
Leaping out of bed (using my cat-like reflexes of course) Tom and I ran to the windows in the living room. Not only was it raining sideways, but the three-story tall cedar tree was now lying on the sidewalk in front of the house. There was so much lightening I wouldn't go outside to see the carnage. Tom did - but we have life insurance on him (that's right - I can never die).
While he was out, I checked the other windows and found what looked like half a maple tree on our roof around back. That was a fun discovery. Then I noticed that the power lines, phone and cable lines (NOT THE CABLE! NOOOOOOOOOO...) were on the ground in my neighbor's yard with a tree lying on them.
The storm passed through quickly and soon I was outside in my Maleficent jammies, with the neighbors in their jammies, staring at the tree out front. I couldn't believe it. The cedar tree had snapped off about 20 feet up and instead of landing on the house, the fence or the cars across the street, it fell paralell to the fence on the sidewalk (putting a huge dent in the pavement). No one was hurt. Nothing was injured (well, except for the sidewalk but I didn't feel that badly since it eats kids on a regular basis).
It was 7am. My neighbor, Sara, had a radio and told us we had 97 mile-an-hour winds and that the whole city was out of power.
Have you ever heard of 97 mph winds? WTF???
So, I started to drag sappy pine branches off the road so people could drive. Tom and I dressed and began cleaning up. Throughout the day friends and family stopped by and helped (a huge thanks to Uncle Steve and Biker Bernie for their chainsaws). We forced the kids into slave labor (Oliver Wendell Holmes be damned) and got to work.
We spent twelve hours working on the front and back yard. There was no power anywhere and the radio was telling people not to go out because of downed powerlines and no working streetlights. We heard ambulances all day long and virtually every business was closed. It was like a snow day - except it was 80 degrees, sunny, and of course - no snow.
What surprised me most was the gawkers. We don't get a lot of traffic on our street but on Monday it was like a motorcade as people drove slowly by and pointed. People I'd never seen before were out walking their dogs. One woman as she walked by said to her husband, "Honey! Doesn't that pine smell wonderful! I love it!" It took all I had not to say, "Oh yeah? Why don't you come over here and smell me after working all day?"
Pulling the tree branches off the back of the house posed several complications. Everytime you'd pull one branch off, two more seemed to spring - like the heads of the hydra - in it's place. It was sort of like a clown car effect.
As dusk began to settle, we grilled all the meat in our freezer so it wouldn't rot. By some Christmas miracle, the power came back on and I was able to take a hot shower. Unfortunately, we were in the severe minority. It's Wednesday and still most of the city is out of power.
Everything has been cleared, chopped and dealt with. We have a 4 foot high fence of debris lining the curb in front of the house for the city to take away (hopefully before the grass dies).
And you may not believe it, but the damned space plant is not only still standing, but has sprouted four more phallic-shaped cones. How that thing didn't blow down is a mystery.
I guess we were just lucky.

So glad to hear that no one got hurt and things are getting back to normal. Amazing about the winds. Just remember they only have to be about 74 mph to be called hurricane force.

I'm so glad no one was hurt by the storm. This is so like the big storms that hit southern Michigan the first weekend in June. We were without power for a week. We have gas heat and water so at least we could take showers and mostly cook. But the cable was out!!! Got a lot of reading done

Sorry, Leslie. Storms can leave such a mess. As I got to the end of your post I was curious about your Space Plant!

The dumbass things people say. *shakes head* It's amazing she hasn't be tasered before now.
I'm glad to hear you and the space plant are okay. And I'm really glad you got your power back. There have been some freaky-freaky storms lately. Somewhere Al Gore is saying over and over, "I told you so. I told you so."

Talk about a nasty way to wake up. So glad everyone is safe. Was there a lot of damage to the roof? And I too thought about hurricane winds. Hurricane Dolly got upgraded when she hit 75 mph. I can't imagine 97 mph winds.
That's one stupid neighbor but one tough plant!
- July 23, 2008 at 1:41 PM
Leslie, I'm so glad to hear that you guys are okay. Oh, and the space plant. :) I'm glad your power is back too.
We had a Labor Day storm in '98 that knocked out power for a week. I had to use candles and lanterns and lived out of coolers and showered at my grandparents house.
The hardest thing? Not being able to heat up baby bottles in the microwave.
- July 23, 2008 at 1:50 PM
Somewhere Al Gore is saying over and over, "I told you so. I told you so."
Now there's an excuse to taser somebody!
Glad you and your family are all OK. If the kids give you any grief about the work threaten to give them to the pine scent lady. That ought to work as just desserts for her too!
The alien probably survived because it bent before the wind while the cedar and pine couldn't bend enough.

Thank you! All I can say is that we were truly lucky. This may sound strange but I really would've liked to see the tree snap...from a bunker on a tv screen of course.

Yikes! Scary winds and weather. I've been within a mile of a tornado's path, and it's terrifying how much damage even straightline winds can do in so little time. I'm glad none of you were hurt, but ROFL that the alien plant is still standing. ;)

This is it — the Cadillac CTS-V Wagon — fully unmasked at a marketing photo shoot. It's the stretched-out high-power people-hauler every automotive journalist has been waiting for. Let's just go ahead and call it the Cadillac of awesome.
Of course we expect the CTS-V Wagon will come equipped with the same 550 HP+ 6.2-liter LSA engine as it's sedan and coupe brothers. Frankly, what more do we need to know? The fact that we have a real picture of this vehicle we never thought would see the light of day is the only news we need to read. Do want.
So what if Bob Lutz is gone. His legacy lives on.

University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa receives $240,000 grant for Social Norms Campaign
Effort to target alcohol abuse, underage drinking on campusUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Office of the Chancellor - UH Manoa
"I am pleased to be a part of this joint effort to extend this comprehensive and long-term approach to addressing alcohol issues to the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa campus," said Bennett. "The social norms approach to addressing alcohol issues has proved to be a very effective method of achieving positive behavior change and reducing harm associated with drinking at other universities across the country, and it is making a difference here as well."
The Manoa Alcohol Project (MAP) was developed in 2005 to address the issue of underage drinking at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa. MAP is partially funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities. It is designed to reduce high-risk and underage drinking among freshmen in the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa residence halls.
"We are grateful for this gift from Anheuser-Busch and for the opportunity to expand upon our existing alcohol education curriculum," said Konan. "Given the success the social norms approach has shown in educating and empowering students to make responsible decisions about drinking, we believe it is an important component of any comprehensive education program."
Social norms is an area of research in the social sciences that focuses on the impact of norms on people's attitudes and behaviors. Using a variety of techniques, the research-based social norms approach offers the opportunity to achieve large-scale, positive behavior change and harm reduction by communicating to students the true responsible behavior of their peers. The goal of this communication is to get students to emulate the positive behavior of the vast majority of students. Social norms programs are being implemented at universities nationwide. Anheuser-Busch has funded programs at Florida State University, Michigan State, Georgetown University, Virginia Commonwealth University, California State-Fresno and the University of Virginia.
"Anheuser-Busch is proud to support the efforts of General Bennett and the University of Hawaiʻi in helping encourage safe, responsible choices by students," said John Kaestner, vice president of Consumer Affairs at Anheuser-Busch Cos., St. Louis. "This grant will further the work already underway at the University. We are confident the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa will experience the same positive results from social norms marketing as have other universities." Kaestner added, "In the past quarter-century, Anheuser-Busch has invested more than $580 million in national advertising campaigns and community-based programs to prevent all forms of alcohol abuse, including underage drinking and drunk driving."

Kris Humphries received a less-than-warm welcome back to the basketball court on Wednesday.
Following the announcement of Kris' re-signing with the New Jersey Nets – with a hefty pay raise to $8 million a year-- the 26-year-old athlete was booed mercilessly during his first game back with the team against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"That was not a smattering of boos," Madison Square Garden announcer Al Trautwig remarked during the overwhelming heckling. "That's villain in the Garden kind of booing."
Kris seemed to take the animosity in stride, telling ESPN he worked hard to block out the booing.

"I felt like Rudy out there," he said, when asked if he was surprised by the crowd's response.
"I was so focused on the game, I couldn't hear that," he added, sarcastically.
To add insult to injury, the Jersey team lost to the Knicks by six points.

Natural Child Spacing and Breastfeeding
Jen O'Quinn
Augusta, Georgia USA
From: LEAVEN, Vol. 34 No. 6, December 1998 - January 1999, p. 128
A natural consequence of breastfeeding is the spacing of births. However, in some cultures, especially those that practice a variety of nursing styles, misconceptions about breastfeeding and fertility abound. A 1997 edition of Healthy Pregnancy magazine states, "Contrary to popular belief, breastfeeding does not halt ovulation, so it is not an effective birth control method."
As many fully breastfeeding mothers know, lactational amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods as a result of breastfeeding) does affect their ability to get pregnant. Scientific data supporting this has been mounting for years. The Bellagio Consensus Conference on "Breastfeeding as a Family Planning Method" established that fully breastfeeding mothers who remain amenorrheic have less than a two percent chance of becoming pregnant in the first six months postpartum. "Fully breastfeeding" is defined as supplementing no more than one or two mouthfuls a day and waiting no more than four to six hours between nursings. A woman who is practicing the Lactation Amenorrhea Method (LAM) relies on exclusive or nearly exclusive breastfeeding for postponing or avoiding pregnancy during the first six months after childbirth or until her periods return, whichever occurs first.
Many breastfeeding mothers find they remain amenorrheic longer than six months, especially mothers who practice a style of nursing that Sheila Kippley calls "ecological breastfeeding." In Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing, Kippley describes ecological breastfeeding as the kind of nursing that most effectively spaces babies: nursing on cue, keeping baby close, providing all nourishment and liquids at the breast for the first five to eight months, and nursing to comfort the baby. It does not include the use of bottles or pacifiers, mother-baby separation, parent-imposed feeding schedules or restriction of night nursings. All of these practices limit the nipple stimulation that suppresses ovulation.
The chance of pregnancy occurring during the first three months of ecological breastfeeding are practically nil. During the second three months, there is a less than 2 percent chance of becoming pregnant before the first menstrual period. After six months postpartum there is a six percent chance of becoming pregnant before the first period. That means that an amenorrheic woman who is relying on ecological breastfeeding alone has a 94 percent chance of not becoming pregnant during the second six months postpartum.
Women who practice ecological breastfeeding average 14.6 months of amenorrhea. Seven percent experience a return of their menses in the first six months following childbirth. Thirty-seven percent get their periods back during months seven to twelve. Forty-eight percent get their periods back sometime during the second year after childbirth. Eight percent go longer than two years without periods.
Despite the variability in the return of menses, there is not as much variation in the return of fertility as might appear. Women who experience a return of their periods in the first six months tend to be infertile for a few cycles, while the early cycles of women experiencing a longer period of amenorrhea are often fertile.
A Leader may be one of the few people a nursing mother knows who is willing to help her find information about breastfeeding's effects on contraception and other natural methods of child spacing. Women differ in their reasons for using LAM, from concerns about hormonal methods to religious beliefs. However, quite often these women are similar in their need to be reassured that LAM's effectiveness has been thoroughly established by scientific study.
A Leader can refer a mother to THE WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING or Breastfeeding and Fertility' (No. 87). Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing, available through the LLLI Catalogue, is the pre-eminent work on the subject and will be helpful to any mother interested in mothering through breastfeeding. Organizations such as the Couple to Couple League can be a resource about LAM as well as other methods of natural family planning. The BREASTFEEDING ANSWER BOOK lists additional resources and organizations.
More on Fertility and Breastfeeding
Additional resources are available from LLLI for those who wish to explore this topic in greater depth.
Toni Weschler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility is newly approved for use in Group Libraries. This comprehensive book describes the menstrual cycle and the signals a woman's body provides to indicate fertility. It includes chapters on reproductive health, natural birth control, achieving pregnancy and the benefits of charting as well as information on fertility awareness during breastfeeding, premenopause and other special circumstances.
For a more scholarly approach to the subject, Leaders may wish to examine Stuart-Macadam and Dettwyler's Breastfeeding: Biocultural Perspectives (No. 334). In Chapter 11, "Breastfeeding, Fertility and Maternal Condition," anthropologist Peter T. Ellison blends information from a variety of disciplines and cultures to explain the interplay between fertility and lactation. The author provides historical information to describe how we came to our current level of understanding and points out the areas that require further investigation.
In Your Fertility Signals (No.376), author Merryl Winstein employs clear diagrams and step-by-step instructions to describe the physical and emotional changes a woman may experience as she moves through her monthly cycle. The effects of special circumstances such as breastfeeding, stress and premenopause are thoroughly discussed. Sus Signos de Fertilidad, the Spanish version of this book, is also available from LLLI (No. 376SP). German and Chinese versions, although not reviewed by the LLLI Book Evaluation Committee (BEC), may be ordered directly from Smooth Stone Press, P.O. Box 19875, St. Louis, Missouri 63144 USA. Any Leader interested in reviewing the German or Chinese edition is encouraged to contact Diane Beckman, BEC Chairman, 319 Dixon Avenue, Cary, North Carolina 27511-3259 USA or DiBeckman at aol.com (email).

The Love God by Martinibomb
Album Description
Did somebody order a pizza? Or, does someone need their sinks...unclogged? Whatever. The plot doesn't really matter. I'm here. Let's bump silicone in soft focus. Grunts. Yeahs. Cue the porn music.
Here we have the first entry in the wildly popular, wildly erotic "Wakka Chikka Wakka Chikka" series, presented by the venerable Comfort Stand Recordings. It's a simple concept - have a bunch of international recording artists render their own version of the barely noticeable but totally ubiquitous music that lets you know people are about to start taking their clothes off. Mix in soft jazz saxophones, the eponymous wah guitar, pulsing 808 bass drums, and - are those wind chimes I hear? Oo, nice.
Bonus - the last track features R.Steive Moore!
Volume 2 of this series has been featured on the FMA before and, as of this writing, has been downloaded over 67,000 times. You're all a bunch of degenerates. Here's a link to volume 2, just as much fun.
If you choose to use these recordings for their intended purpose...maybe just keep that to yourself. Okay. Enjoy.

How well is the attention government agencies pay to social media paying off? In the United Kingdom, there's at least least one metric: Upstream traffic to U.K. government Web sites from social-networking sites and forums recently surpassed the traffic the government sites received from news and media sites, according to Web analyst Hitwise Intelligence. Earlier this month, traffic from social media made up 5.43 percent of the government's upstream traffic, surpassing, for the first time, the flow from news and media sites, which came in at 5.15 percent.
