Prospect VerHagen starts Tigers' spring schedule
LAKELAND, Fla. -- While Tigers manager Brad Ausmus doesn't have a season-opening rotation order yet, his rotation for the first few games of Spring Training is set. It begins with up-and-coming pitching prospect Drew VerHagen, who will start the team's traditional opening exhibition with Florida Southern College on Tuesday at Joker Marchant Stadium.
The Tigers have often turned to prospects for the Florida Southern game. Former Tigers top pitching prospect Andy Oliver started against the Mocs two years ago, the last time the exhibition led off the Spring Training slate.
From there, the projected Major League rotation begins to slot in. Drew Smyly, back in a starting role, will lead off the Tigers' Grapefruit League schedule against the Braves on Wednesday at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex, followed by Rick Porcello in the back half of the home-and-home set against the Braves on Feb. 27 at Lakeland.
The Tigers' first split-squad day on Feb. 28 will feature the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner and an insurance starter. Max Scherzer will face the Yankees in Lakeland, Fla., while Jose Alvarez makes the trip to Clearwater, Fla., to face the Phillies.
Ausmus had already ruled out Justin Verlander from the first turn through the Spring Training rotation as he builds up his workload following core muscle surgery. Alvarez, who filled in for Anibal Sanchez while Sanchez was on the disabled list last summer, could provide insurance if Verlander suffers a setback and isn't ready for the start of the season.

Sylvia had her 1 year check-up last night and everything went well.
The Stats:
Weight - 17# 6.5 oz (4th Percentile)
Height - 28" (20th Percentile)
Head - 17.5" (30th Percentile)
I laughed about the 4th percentile.... I mean really, can't you call it the 5th percentile at least?

Do you think it is possible to go to the Mall of America, get dinner for two, pick up a pair of Victoria's Secret underwear, buy two greeting cards, and 40 professionally developed pictures for $10.02?
Well it is!!! The family had a great adventure at MOA tonight and we figured that we should brag a bit about our great frugality.
When we got home, Sylvia celebrated her parent's cheapness!

1st Birthday Party
We had a beautiful day for Sylvia's first birthday party. The 'old folks' spent some time talking about the good ole days while sipping on lemonade (I am not sure if Virginia and Michael are considered 'old folks', maybe just 'folks')
Megan got some good quality Sylvia time...
Shaylan enjoyed the trampoline for the first time...
Before the birthday cake.
During the birthday cake.
After the birthday cake.
She didn't do much eating, but she sure made a mess. After a quick 'bath' and outfit change it was time to open presents.
She got a lot of great gifts with her favorite being the tissue paper! Pair that with some tupperware and she is good for hours!
Thanks everyone for a great, memorable day along with all the fun gifts.

Two Steps!!! and Eight Stitches ;-(
Yesterday was an interesting day, to say the least. But before everyone worries about Sylvia... she is fine. Her daddy, not so much.
I took yesterday off from work to put some finishing touches on the cabin for the 4th of July Celbration. Dad and I were putting in some fence and while I was pounding a fence post in, the steel fence post driver caught on the top of the post, quickly changed directions, and slammed into the top of my head.
After a trip to the Cokato clinic, which included a tetanus shot and eight stitches in the scalp, Dad and I headed to the Buffalo Hospital for a CT Scan. The good news is that the results turned out fine. Dad drove me back home and I rested the remainder of the day.
Ben and Bonnie were kind enough to take Sylvia for a walk so Jamie and I could get some last minute packing done for the weekend. I am not sure what they talker about during her walk, but after Sylvia's bath last night, we were all playing on the floor and she took two unassisted steps! I made that head injury seem to disappear, as we focused on Sylvia hoping she would take more steps. Not last night, but it is just around the corner.
P.S. - For those who plan on coming out to the lake tomorrow, I have to mention the water was green again yesterday. We are not sure what is causing this, but it seems to come and go in a couple days. I am hoping that Saturday will be clean again, but needed to let you all know.

The presentation of the products in the Online Store shall not constitute a binding offer, but a non-binding depiction in the online catalog. Products selected by Customers via the "Add to Shopping Cart" button will be presented to Customers in an order overview prior to completing the ordering process. This overview allows Customers to review all information provided in conjunction with the ordering process and edit or correct them via the "Back" button.

By doing so, they enter into a binding order with B2Web AG for the products listed therein (offer to purchase). B2Web AG accepts the offer to purchase automatically upon receipt.

(5) An entitlement of the Customer to damage compensation due to late delivery of the service (§ 280 Abs. 2, 286 BGB) shall be excluded if the delay was neither caused intentionally nor as a result of gross neglect by PrintArt Gallery.
(6) The Contract shall be made subject to timely and complete delivery receipt from sub-suppliers. This shall only apply in the event that PrintArt Gallery is not responsible for the late delivery. PrintArt Gallery shall promptly notify the customer of the non-availability of the service. Any reciprocal action that has already occurred shall also be reimbursed.
(7) We shall have the right to make partial shipments.
(8) In the unlikely event that the production resources required for the Customer's order, we shall notify the Customer immediately and if possible, shall provide an approximate delivery date.
(1) The prices quoted for all Customers from EU countries and the countries of Switzerland and Liechtenstein shall be considered final prices. They include all stator taxes incurred, in particular value added tax. The delivery address shall be the determining factor for prices.
(2) For all Customers outside of the EU countries and the countries of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, the quoted prices shall be considered net prices. This means that if value added tax is due in the recipient country based on local laws, this tax will have to be paid by the recipient in addition to the cost of the goods. It is also possible that import duties may have to be paid upon receipt of the goods.
(3) The compensation due for our services pursuant to Article 2 of these GTC may be derived from the most recent price list, which may be reviewed at www.printart.gallery and which we shall also specify during the ordering process. We shall have the right to change the price list for future orders without any separate notice.
7. Billing
The purchase price plus shipping costs shall be payable in advance via bank transfer, credit card (MasterCard, VISA) or PayPal since the orders are produced individually for Customers. Delivery on an open invoicing account may be made available to government agencies and key accounts in individual cases upon verification.
The credit card accounts of Customers paying via credit card shall be charged on the day following the day the order was submitted.
Customers paying via PayPal shall be automatically redirected to the payment service page of PayPal once the order process is complete. The processing of the payment thereafter shall be subject to the terms and conditions of PayPal.
Customers choosing payment in advance as their mode of payment shall receive in invoice via e-mail after placement of the order. The invoice amount due must be transferred to the account listed below stating the purpose of the payment within 7 days after the receipt of this invoice:
8. Title Retention

If the Customer should be in default of payment of the purchase price, B2Web AG shall have the right to confiscate the objects subject to title retention after sending a payment reminder setting a reasonable remedial due date and the expiration of this due date. The claiming of title retention rights as well as the seizure or attachment of the goods by B2Web AG shall not constitute a rescission from the contract unless this is subject to mandatory laws, in particular provisions concerning consumer loans that are in conflict with the aforementioned.
9. Deficiency Claims
(1) If the Customer should be a commercial business person/entity, the Customer shall undertake to examine the goods produced immediately upon delivery within part of the Customer's regular business operations and, if applicable, promptly send us a written claim; § 377 HGB shall apply without any restrictions.
(2) In all other cases, Customers shall have only a week to file any claims for obvious deficiencies. The claim filing time shall be contingent upon the time of delivery as well as the date of receipt of the deficiency claim.
(3) When filing claims, Customers shall be required to submit to us all documentation related to the order. Unless this is the case, the prompt verification and processing of the deficiency claim cannot be guaranteed.
(4) Deficiencies in one part of the delivered goods shall not entitle Customers to file claims for the entire delivery unless a partial delivery is not of justifiable interest to the Customer.
10. Warranty
Information provided, drawings, figures, technical data, weight, mass and performance descriptions contained in prospectuses, catalogs, memorandums, advertising or price list are for the purpose of information only. B2Web AG shall not assume any warranties for the correctness of this information. As far as the type and scope of the delivery is concerned, only the information contained in the order confirmation shall be relevant. Any warranties for the fade resistant or waterproof quality of printed materials shall principally not be provided. B2Web AG expressly points out that the printed products are designated for use in enclosed spaces only. The designations and specifications defined at the time the contract is executed represent the technical state of the art at that time. Minor technical deviations (in particular concerning the cut of the image and the print color) in the delivered goods from the advertised goods shall not be considered defects as long as they remain within the usual tolerances acceptable in the industry and if the contractual purpose is not significantly impaired. Images that are cut to size may – as common practice in the industry – may deviate minimally – but not considerably – from the specified sizes. Minor, standard trade color differences in printing may occur if the Customer's monitor is calibrated differently and not true to color. Black/white prints may have a slight standard industry color tint as a result of color printing. Claims, credit notes as well as replacement prints because of these reasons are not possible unless the deviation is outside of the standard trade scope. Moreover, an item shall not be considered deficient if the quality has been impaired due to the inadequate quality of the image files submitted by the Partner or by the Customer (e.g. "resolution" of the original image files).
In the event of justified claims we shall have the right – at our discretion and within a reasonable period of time – to choose between new production of the product or remedial work. If the new production or remedial work should fail to produce satisfactory results, the Customer may demand rescission from the contract or a reduction of the price.
11. Terms of Delivery
Unless otherwise agreed upon, deliveries shall be made ex warehouse to the delivery address stipulated by the Customer. After the delivery the Customers shall – as a rule – receive an e-mail confirmation.

Colonialism and food
I am interested in bringing the effects of colonialism (and work on de-colonization) into my work on food. I want to consider how colonization has affected diet, how this links to culture and health, how it relates to power, and ultimately how it relates to interaction with/use of the land in terms of both agricultural practices, gathering and hunting practices and plant life in non-agricultural spaces.
Colonialism has drastically shifted food practices on the landscape many of us now know as 'Canada', and in our local area here in Kamloops. I'd like to know as much as possible about the topic both in general and specific terms.
There is lots of knowledge about this topic out there, and it's something I know some about already.
I have asked readers the question "How does (and did) colonialism affect food? I want to hear your thoughts."
And here are some responses….
- "Colonialism changed the diets of the societies that were colonized to their detriment. When you drastically alter the food of a society you are then subjecting your "acceptable" practices onto them, and the ill health effects that come with it!"
- "Over-processed foods are creating epidemics in indigenous communities: diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc. all have roots in Western diets that are high in grain and sugar consumption. Here in the Columbia River Gorge (the river between Washington and Oregon), the colonists built a series of dams that swelled the river to create hydro power. It also flooded natural falls (Celilo) where, for hundreds of generations, indigenous people would go to catch salmon during the season for such a thing. Now the salmon population has been decimated, which has affected the culture, the food system, and the ecosystem. [It's a] big effing deal."
- "Neocolonialism in the form of "international development" has forced North American farming techniques (nitrogen-based fertilizers, nuclear family farms, factory farms) onto "developing" nations, disrupting cultural practices, local agricultural knowledge, and land use patterns. Countless were forced out of subsistence farming, where they shared generations worth of local know-how, into cash crop farming. Instead of growing their own food, people who used to know the land they lived on are forced to buy food that is often priced according to a global economy they never consented to being a part of."
- "They slaughtered 60 million wild buffalo, almost to extinction to raise inferior cattle like brainless idiots!"
- "The process of colonialism included killing off the buffalo not just for hides, not just for profit, but to wipe out the indigenous communities. In 1873, Secretary of the Interior Columbus Delano said "The civilization of the Indian is impossible while the buffalo remains upon the plains. I would not seriously regret the total disappearance of the buffalo from our western prairies, in its effect upon the Indians, regarding it as a means of hastening their sense of dependence upon the products of the soil and their own labors."
A year later In 1874, Delano testified before Congress, "The buffalo are disappearing rapidly, but not faster than I desire. I regard the destruction of such game as Indians subsist upon as facilitating the policy of the Government, of destroying their hunting habits, coercing them on reservations, and compelling them to begin to adopt the habits of civilization."
- "How about the foods that were introduced into our diets as the result of colonialism, such as the potato, cacao, peanut, corn, tomato and vanilla? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Crops_originating_from_the_Americas"
- "Enclosure of commons is a big deal too."
- "I am (hopefully) writing my PhD dissertation on this very topic (food sovereignty and colonialism)! Right now i'm thinking about things in terms of land and enclosure… farms were among the first enclosures on Vancouver Island, as land was surveyed, divided, sold, cleared, and farmed. The mechanization of farming allowed capitalist farmers to exploit farmland more intensively, and it was only the wealthiest growers who could afford the latest technology. That meant that smaller farmers got squeezed out… and we are still in that process today: the larger farms tend to rely on the exploitation of precarious migrant labour (primarily people of colour), they use high-tech machinery to maximize efficiency, and they use chemical fertilizers/pesticides (or tons of amendments in the case of organic agribusiness)… and they are all based on the enclosure and privatization of indigenous lands… but this history throws a wrench into a lot of the mainstream settler narratives of food sovereignty, which are often about a yearning for a return to the good ol' days of the (white supremacist, patriarchal) family farm against the big bad corporation… so where does that leave us settler foodies who want to grow food here? What are our responsibilities/obligations? Can there be decolonizing settler farming practices?"
- "Have you read "Empires of Food" by Fraser and Rimas? It looks at the historical development of food systems over the last 2,000 years or so; one of the stories I learned is of landless Tamils being brought to Sri Lanka in the 1800s to farm tea on plantations for the British – there was a major drought, as well as a recession in Britain that lowered the price of luxury imports, and tens of thousands of workers died because, despite being surrounded by tea, there was no food to eat."
- "We (Europeans) brought diabetes amongst other things. We took tomatoes, potatoes, corn, and we have lost countless foods because we have lost languages and the knowledge that they contain."
- "Colonialism influences our understanding of food and how it is distributed. Food as something you can (or cannot) afford and thus can or cannot eat. It's produced and distributed through the free market and by huge corporations who operate based on profits and using people, farmers, the environment."

After reporting that director Rupert Wyatt was exiting Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, 20th Century Fox is now looking for a replacement. As of this writing, it looks like Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Let Me In) is leading the pack. Rounding out the short list of directors is J Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed), Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) and Jeff Nichols (Mud). Longer shots being reported are Pacific Rim director Guillermo del Toro (doubtful), Juan Antonio Bayona (The Impossible) and Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart). Hit the jump to get this sorted out.
Deadline also reports that the directors will be meeting with Fox production president Emma Watts to see who's best suited to helm the sequel. The current draft turned in by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver has pleased execs so they're looking to get back on track quickly. As is usually the case with these short list stories, take the news with a grain of salt until we get studio confirmation. For instance, del Toro is almost always on a studio's short list and while a del Toro Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequel would be enticing, I'd be surprised if he moved his schedule around for it. On the other side of the coin is Cooper, a director known for turning down major tentpole projects to focus on character-driven dramas. He's only taken on one directorial assignment after 2009's Crazy Heart, the currently-in-post Out of the Furnace.
Nichols has shown he has the chops to handle character development. Blakeson, Fresnadillo and Bayona are interesting choices since their careers feature strong horror backgrounds. I'd still put my money on Reeves (especially since he's no longer attached to direct The Twilight Zone), but we'll wait until this situation shakes out. Shouldn't be too long.

RHEL backported one additional year
At the 2008 Red Hat summit in Boston, Red Hat outlined to support Red Hat Enterprise Linux for new hardware and installation media one year longer than it did in the past.
This is a major event. In the past Red Hat offered new hardware support, bugfixes and feature enhancements (dubbed full support) for 3 years after the initial release. But now that will be for 4 years after initial release. New installation media will be release up to 5 years after initial release !
That means that RHEL5 (and CentOS 5), released on March 2007, will have full support until March 2011, new media releases until March 2012 and will have security updates until March 2014.
If you were running RHEL4 (or CentOS 4), released on Feb 2005, than the upcoming 4.7 release will not be the last, but there will be at least a 4.8 and 4.9 release until May 2009, new media releases until May 2010 and from then on the normal security updates will keep coming in until Feb 2012.
This matches much better with the normal hardware lifecycle within companies. Usually hardware is decommissioned after 4 to 5 years and since a release is often not being deployed in production when it ships, but more or less a year after initial release. That means there is a much better (and wider) overlap between supported releases.
Red Hat's Product Life Cycle page is not adapted yet, but here is an updated slide from my Enterprise Linux presentation and it explains Red Hat's Enterprise Linux offering best:
Click the picture to see it in all its glory
This is a major improvement to Enterprise Linux as a whole and I am very keen to see how Novell and Canonical are going to react to Red Hat's newest twist.
Enjoy !
Incorrect numbers and PNG with errors
There should be CentOS 3, 4 and 5 instead of decimal numbers. I bet 3.9 will not be supported after 2 years.
Also big PNG image is not shown within FF3 because errors.
Hi Milan, I don't understand
Hi Milan,
I don't understand your comment about the incorrect numbers. CentOS 3.9 was the last minor release for CentOS 3 and is in maintenance mode since July 2007. Support will end October 2010. Actually, Red Hat did not make a change for RHEL3 support because it is already in maintenance mode. Only RHEL4 and RHEL5 and future products will have an additional year of "full support".
The big PNG works fine here in Firefox 3. Both tested on Firefox 3 Beta 5 on CentOS 5.2 and Firefox 3 on Windows XP. Maybe there was a network hiccup somewhere ?
great news
This is great news. Thanks for explaining the implications for the CentOS project.

Globally, technology developments are taking place at an unprecedented and ever-increasing pace, but, in many respects, European policies and attitudes seem frozen in time. If nothing is done, one thing is sure: Europe will end up missing the boat on many of the benefits the new wave of information and communication technology (ICT) can offer to the economy and society. This not only puts the region's future growth and competitiveness at risk, but also its ability to innovate and maintain the living standards of European citizens.

Wide Putter Grip
One way to improve your putting is by changing your putter grip to a wide putter grip. Wide putter grips are becoming very popular with golfers of all abilities. Many golfers do not understand what the benefits of these wide putter grips are and how these grips will improve their putting. Maintaining control of your putter from the top to the bottom is the most important aspect of putting. Many golfers struggle to prevent their wrists from hinging during their putting stroke and this can be caused by using a putter grip that is too small. There must be no wrist action when you are putting, your arms and hands must swing in a pendulum movement from your shoulder. If your wrist moves (or hinges) the direction of the putter face changes when you hit the ball and you will lose your line. The use of the 2Thumb wide Putter Grip can prevent this motion from your wrists and give you more control over your putting stroke, resulting in an improvement in putting accuracy – right the way from reducing wrist break by up to 43% down to reducing ball hop, skid and first roll distances. Not only will using a wide putter grip help you grip the putter more gently, wide putter grips will also allow you to change the placement of your hands on the grip, but still maintain control over the putter. If you use the most common putter grip, (the reverse-overlap grip), you can create too much movement in your hands and wrists. With a wide grip, you can place your hands side-by-side without it feeling to uncomfortable and remove that dominance of one hand. Your hands being equally placed on the grip (rather than one above the other) also helps remove most of the wrist action. The range of wide putter grips available from 2Thumb is extensive and suitable for all types of requirements and golfing abilities. From the "original" the heaviest of the series, designed specifically for those who like to feel the security of a maximum size, high quality grip in their hands, the "shorty" - perfect for players who like to have total control and feel over their putter-head while employing a pure pendulum action, the "light" - for golfers looking to have great feel and balance through the putter head, while at the same time playing with a full size grip, to the "pro-light - offering players of a high standard the ultimate transfer of feel and control from the putter head, and at only 68 grams, weighing the same as most standard narrow putter grips. There is a wide putter grip for you at 2Thumb - and used in conjunction with the 2Thumb System your putting will improve and your enjoyment of the game will increase. Try it today!

Police: Armed suspected drug dealer arrested following chase
Police say they recovered loaded gun
MADISON, Wis. — Madison police said they arrested a man who was wanted by law enforcement and who was in possession of a firearm and drugs when officers took him into custody.
A Madison police officer and JBM Patrol & Protection were patrolling in the Straubel/Truax Neighborhood about 5:15 p.m. Wednesday.
Information had been passed along to officers that Edlando M. Watson, 29, of Madison, had an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest, and there had been previous unsuccessful attempts to locate him in and around the property, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
While the officer was running Watson's name to get information about the warrant, officers suddenly observed Watson in the area, police said.
The officers contacted Watson, and when they questioned whether he had a weapon, Watson ran from the officers, according to the incident report.
Watson was closely pursued by the JBM officer and police to a residence near Wright Street and Anderson Street, Madison police said.
The JBM officer threatened to use a Taser to gain compliance from Watson, who was taken into custody, police said.
Madison police said they promptly located a loaded .357 Magnum a short distance away from Watson and a host of drugs including cocaine, marijuana and heroin.
Watson was arrested on charges of possession of a firearm, possession with intent to deliver (cocaine, marijuana, heroin), resisting a police officer, felony bail jumping, a domestic criminal damage to property warrant and on a domestic disorderly conduct warrant, according to the incident report.

In what could be the biggest spoiler in the history of American Idol, an Apple glitch occured this week that revealed which contestants are selling the most "Idol" downloads on Itunes.
The Producers for AI never wanted anyone to know which contestants are selling the most downloads on iTunes, believing it might spoil the results of the show or favor one contestant over another. They had always requested secrecy of the Idol sales from Itunes.
So who is the favorite to win it all according to ITUNES?
The NYPost reports Adam Lambert is in the lead, taking six of the top 10 spots on the Idol list. His rendition of "Mad World," which earned him a standing ovation from Simon Cowell, and is No. 1 spot on the secret chart.
The big shock in all of this is the fact that the favorite to win it all Danny Gokey is coming in 3rd with only 1 of his songs being in the top 10. Kris Allen is actually in 2nd place, having 3 of his songs in the top 10.
Only time will tell if these Itunes sales will reflect the winner of the show.

A Marine shot dead a male and female colleague then killed himself Thursday night at Marine Base Quantico in northern Virginia.
All three were staff members at the Officer Candidates School at the base about 37 miles south of Washington, authorities said.
A personal dispute seemed to be at the heart of the incident, NBC Washington TV station News4 reported.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Police responding to reports of shots fired just before 11 p.m. initially encountered one victim, dead, and the shooter, who fled into a barracks, base commander Col. David W. Maxwell told reporters in a press conference. When authorities entered the barracks - which housed staff at the school, not students - they found the shooter and the second victim.
The names of the victims will not be released until the next of kin are notified, Maxwell said.
The base was locked down while the investigation happened. A Marine Corps official said, however, that the shooting appeared to be "an isolated incident" and the base reopened Friday morning.
Pentagon press secretary George Little said in a statement Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was saddened to learn of the shooting.
"This tragedy, as well as the tragedy in Nevada earlier this week, took the lives of Marines who volunteered to serve their nation," Little said. "His heart and his prayers are with them and their families."
The shooting is the second tragedy the Marine Corps has faced this week. Seven members of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force were killed Monday when a mortar shell exploded in its firing tube during an exercise at Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada. Eight others were injured.
Maxwell seemed emotional in the press conference, apparently choking up as he discussed the events.
The Quantico base is also home to the FBI's training academy. Its Officer Candidates School is the equivalent of basic training for Marines interested in becoming officers.
According to a Marine Corps website, the mission of Officer Candidates School is to train, screen and evaluate candidates. The training includes both academics and physical training such as endurance hikes and obstacles courses. Marines become second lieutenants on graduation from the 10-week program.

Am I a genealogist or a family historian?
Am I a genealogist or a family historian?
To put this into the #RootsTech 2014 dialogue, am I interested only in the dates on the gravemarker or the dash in between?
I thought I would list some of the symptoms I have of each and see where that leads me.
I am a genealogist because:
I am a stickler for accuracy and believability. I doubt every date and every conclusion until documentation from valid sources indicates a reasonable conclusion. All of the names, dates and places in my family tree are tentative. Nothing is conclusive. My present goal is to amass as much documentation about every single individual in my family tree that is humanly possible. This included stories, photos, documents of all kinds and every other scrap of possible information.
I am a family historian because:
I have gathered tens of thousands of photographs, dozens of journals, contributed piles of documents and documentation to Special Collections Libraries. Published and taught about the importance of stories and photos in hundreds of classes and uncounted blog posts. I have transcribed, digitized and reproduced an entire legacy of many of my family members. I am still in the planning stage of submitting another huge set of digitized and organized documents to another Special Collections Library.
I am a genealogist because:
I don't happen to believe that all the stories I have heard about my ancestors are verifiable and true. I don't accept the printed surname books that have been passed down to me, I have found too many contradictions. I am appalled at the duplication of wrong information in online family trees and the absolute lack of source material. I have spent many years encouraging, cajoling and literally begging people to document their sources. I care about names, dates and especially places. I want them to be accurate.
I am a family historian because:
I care about the individual lives of each of my ancestors. They are real people who faced real problems. I live daily with the burden of my entire ancestral line. I have been waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for FamilySearch to fix their online family tree so I can make real progress in correcting the errors of the last 150 years. Had I been asked, I would have suggested that FamilySearch include stories, photos, audio files and videos from the very beginning.
I am a genealogist because:
I think like a genealogist. I sleep, eat, drink and breathe genealogy. I have read and re-read the Genealogical Proof Standard dozens of times. I know I am probably considered a fanatic, but I really don't care. I will drive for hours, climb through brambles and sweat a lot just to look at a gravesite. I will sit for hours and days in front of microfilm reader looking at fuzzy images just for the opportunity of finding one date.
I am a family historian because:
I am willing to share without conditions anything I have ever found out about my family. I will give copies of any of my data to anyone who is interested. When I gave over 6300 images to the University of Arizona Special Collections, I insisted and wrote it into the contract that all of the images would be in the public domain. I welcome people adding any sourced information to the FamilySearch Family Tree, but I will challenge anyone who makes unsupported changes.
Now which am I? A genealogist or a family historian? I guess I will never know.
9 comments:
A genealogist compiles a pedigree of the family, a family historian complies a history of the family.ReplyDelete
In other words the genealogist provides the skeleton whilst the family historian goes further and seeks the historic details of members of that family and how they interact with the society they live in (i.e. they put the meat on the skeleton).
Thanks for the comment. I guess my question would be why is there an artificial distinction between the two terms? Aren't both approaches necessary?Delete
- AnonymousFebruary 19, 2014 at 10:33 AM
Firstly, everything the genealogist does, has to be done by the family historian - Guy said "the family historian goes further and seeks", not "instead of that, the family historian seeks".Delete
Secondly, in the UK, the two terms are, in practice, now interchangeable. Originally, the two terms were as Guy described, and, if we need to make a distinction for some reason, it's still that distinction we make. Generally, we're "family historians" but recognise "genealogists" as being the same thing. (Saves mis-spelling "geneologists").
Thirdly - let me ask you a question - why do Americans feel the need to continually use both terms? And act like there is a day-to-day and current difference?
Adrian B
Thanks for the question and another blog post topic. Why the distinction indeed!Delete
Great post. You provided food for thought for all of us. I think you are both a genealogist and a family historian. You provide an excellent service. Thanks for the blogs.ReplyDelete
A combination of both.ReplyDelete
I'd say you are both. And in my opinion, both are necessary in order to provide a rich and accurate family tree.ReplyDelete
I want to let you know that your blog post is listed in my Fab Finds post today at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2014/02/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-february-21.html
Have a great weekend!
I aspire to be both! Thanks for a thoughtful comment---I'd never thought that there were two different labels!ReplyDelete

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Shirt on: Amplification rules the trusty tube
Q. At your doctor's for a routine physical, you're feeling a bit rambunctious and ask what she can hear through that trusty stethoscope of hers. "And hey, Doc," you tease, "wouldn't it be easier and more efficient if you just pressed your ear to my chest instead?"–H. Klum
A. Without missing a beat, she launches into a scholarly account of how the sounds are generated by the blood flow through the heart and by the air flow through the lungs and throat, says Jearl Walker in The Flying Circus of Physics. Either unusually high air turbulence or low turbulence ("silent chest") can indicate airflow problems and damaged lungs. Crackling and wheezing can signal obstruction, perhaps symptomatic of asthma.
"Sure, I could just press my ear to your chest, as old-time doctors used to do," she continues. "But this was awkward and embarrassing, and besides, many low-frequency sounds set up resonances inside the stethoscope tube that can be revealingly amplified by the device. "End of lecture. Now put your shirt back on, please."
Q. There's an easier word for "anthropophagy," but the practice is every bit as disgusting whatever it's called, right?–J. Dahmer
A. Make that "cannibalism," as practiced by the famous Donner Party when storms stranded them in the High Sierras in the winter of 1846-47, and by the likes of the notorious Jeffrey Dahmer and Fritz Haarmann, the Hanover Vampire. We humans are omnivores, eating entire plants and just about any part of an animal short of the hair and hooves, says Yvonne Carts-Powell in The Science of Heroes: The Real- Life Possibilities Behind the Hit TV Show.
Though rare, cannibalism can be a cultural event, as among the Fore people of New Guinea, who make it a respectful funerary ritual. Even though they cooked the bodies before eating them, they still contracted a mysterious fatal illness called "kuru," akin to mad-cow disease. Some species like the praying mantis eat their own as a matter of course, and even among those that would not, exceptions occur. For example, livestock in some countries are fed with remains from others of their species. In such cases, disease moving from the dead to the living is always a concern, so heating and sterilization are standard practice for almost any meat eaten though "humans eating steak tartare or sushi are exceptions."
Q. Is there a QWERTY in your life? Does it matter what type you are?–J. Nicholson
A. Not type but typing, since a QWERTY keyboard refers to the first six letters in the top alphabetic row of a classic typewriter or a computer keyboard. It was also called the Sholes Keyboard (1873), after Milwaukee newspaper editor Christopher Sholes. So why the QWERTY arrangement? The purpose was to split up keys that were commonly hit serially so that a too-fast typist wouldn't jam the old machines, says Howard Wainer in American Scientist magazine.
Whether QWERTY is really efficient is debated, but various alternatives have been proposed, such as by Prof. August Dvorak in 1936. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest typist averaged 150 words per minute for 50 minutes on a Dvorak keyboard, with peaks of 212 wpm! If you prefer one of these– call it a PYFGCRL– just get yourself a modern programmable keyboard and start plugging in the letters.
Footnote on the QWERTY: If you take a look at the top row, you'll see all the letters to spell "typewriter," said to have been a crafty Sholes gimmick to help early typewriter salespeople.
Q. What will happen if Dr. Evil (from Austin Powers movies) succeeds in drilling a hole and exploding a nuclear bomb in the middle of the Earth, causing every volcano to erupt? Surely he can't do this with his stated 50-kilowatt warhead. What if he used some real mega-pop?–M. Myers
A. Subterranean meltings would flow to the surface in sizzling plumes, but only after thousands of years, and Dr. Evil wants to be alive to rub his hands with glee, says California Institute of Technology's William A. Wheaton. So forget those. More to the point, the pressure wave would hit the surface within minutes, likely shaking and breaking loose rock enough to let magma escape. Trigger energy for a typical volcano is wildly uncertain, but assume 1/1000-th that of the eruption. Taking Mt. St. Helens as typical, and guessing 400 megatons equivalent released over the trigger area of 100 square kilometers, this computes to .004 MT per square kilometer necessary to pop it.
Thus, worldwide, to start the whole volcanic shebang would take 2-million-MT, or about 35,000 times the largest bomb ever exploded. Such a device would weigh approximately 200,000 tons and be at least 100 feet in diameter. Pooling the entire stockpiles of the US and former Soviet Union would probably just about do it.
"Conclusion: Barely conceivable, but Dr. Evil can forget using a normal size bomb or a small drill hole."

Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse
Jill Theresa Messing
Intimate partner violence—the continual and systematic exercise of power and control within an intimate relationship that often also includes physical and sexual violence—has emerged as a significant and complex social problem warranting the attention of social workers. Risk and protective factors have been identified at the individual, family, community, and societal levels. Some of these risk factors for repeat and lethal violence have been organized into risk assessment instruments that can be used by social workers to educate and empower survivors. Intimate partner violence has multiple negative health and mental health consequences for female victims and their children. Social workers in all areas of practice should be prepared to intervene with victims of intimate partner violence in a culturally competent manner using a strengths-based framework.
Lesbians: Overview
Lori Messinger and Jennifer Wheeler Brooks
This entry provides an overview of research on lesbians in the United States using an overarching framework of oppression and empowerment. Historical and current demographic and cultural information about lesbians will be reported, along with an analysis of personal and environmental factors critical to social work practitioners' ability to enhance the well-being of lesbian individuals, couples, and families.
Marriage and Domestic Partnership
Elaine M. Maccio
This entry briefly covers the history, demographics, research, clinical practice, diversity, debates, and trends surrounding marriage and domestic partnership in the United States. Who marries and why, when, and at what rate people marry is covered, as are some of the statistics behind alternatives to marriage, such as cohabitation, domestic partnership, and civil unions. It is beyond the scope of this entry to discuss in detail relationship dissolution and divorce, although information is provided insomuch as it relates to marriage and domestic partnership.
The ability to form close relationships with others is a crucial component of life span development. In fact, an inability to do so may be considered partial criteria for some types of mental disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Psychologist Erik Erikson (1980) theorized that young adults must master intimacy over isolation if they are to move successfully through his proposed stages of psychosocial development. Apart from these theoretical obligations, much of global society sanctions the forming of close relationships that it deems appropriate. Proms, engagements, weddings, and anniversary celebrations serve to socially reinforce (usually heterosexual) couplings and the norms surrounding acceptable relationships.
Marriage is the legal, and most often consensual, partnering of two persons of either sex. Domestic partnership can refer to any unrelated persons 18 years of age or older living together for a minimum specified period of time (for example, one year) and in a financially interdependent relationship. Both unmarried heterosexual couples and same-sex couples can apply for domestic partner status in those jurisdictions, companies, and institutions that recognize it. However, such distinction still falls short of the 1,138 federal benefits and protections afforded to legally married couples (U.S. General Accounting Office, 1997, 2004). For example, access to a partner's Social Security benefits, Medicaid and Medicare benefits, and veterans' pensions, and the exemption from gift and estate tax liabilities, are just a few of the laws mentioned in the U.S. Code that are affected by marital status. Only marriage offers couples such entitlements; civil unions, a proposed substitute for same-sex marriage and available in only a handful of states, afford no federal benefits and protections.
Reproductive Health
Marjorie R. Sable and Patricia J. Kelly
Reproductive health includes family planning, prenatal care, and the broader scope of primary care. Because a woman's health status at conception is as important as prenatal care, genetic screening and 20th century medical technology, reproductive health includes "the preconceptual and interconceptual periods and the menopause, and finally, not only reproductive tract problems but the wide range of risk factors that influence a woman's health in general." Quantitative indicators of reproductive outcomes are useful for summarizing progress in reproductive health. Important indicators are discussed and reveal significant racial disparities.
Social Justice
Janet L. Finn and Maxine Jacobson
This entry examines the concept of social justice and its significance as a core value of social work. Diverse conceptualizations of social justice and their historical and philosophical underpinnings are examined. The influence of John Rawls' perspectives on social justice is addressed as are alternative conceptualizations, such as the capabilities perspective. The roots of social justice are traced through social work history, from the Settlement House Movement to the Rank and Film Movement, Civil Rights Movement, and contemporary struggles in the context of globalization. Challenges for social justice-oriented practice in the 21st century are address. The discussion concludes with concrete example of ways in which social workers are translating principles of social justice into concrete practices.
Women, Development, and Gender Inequality
Lena Dominelli
Women have a lengthy history of fighting their oppression as women and the inequalities associated with this to claim their place on the world stage, in their countries, and within their families. This article focuses on women's struggles to be recognized as having legitimate concerns about development initiatives at all levels of society and valuable contributions to make to social development. Crucial to their endeavors were: (1) upholding gender equality and insisting that women be included in all deliberations about sustainable development and (2) seeing that their daily life needs, including their human rights, be treated with respect and dignity and their right to and need for education, health, housing, and all other public goods are realized. The role of the United Nations in these endeavors is also considered. Its policies on gender and development, on poverty alleviation strategies—including the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals—are discussed and critiqued. Women's rights are human rights, but their realization remains a challenge for policymakers and practitioners everywhere. Social workers have a vital role to play in advocating for gender equality and mobilizing women to take action in support of their right to social justice. Our struggle for equality has a long and courageous history.

Carmelo Anthony scores 36 as Knicks take Game 1 against Celtics
Carmelo Anthony turned it up offensively down the stretch and the Knicks' defense turned back the clock when it mattered most.
Anthony carried his strong regular-season finish into the first playoff game, scoring 36 points -- and matching the Celtics with eight in the fourth quarter -- as the Knicks beat Boston, 85-78, inside an extremely loud Madison Square Garden on Saturday and took a 1-0 lead in their first-round series.
Anthony shot 13-for-29 but made his last four attempts. All of them came after Kevin Garnett's short jumper tied the score at 72 with 8:12 left, and he added his only assist of the game when he found Kenyon Martin underneath for a clinching layup with 40.6 seconds left.
"It's a wonderful feeling to know that we got our first win of the series on our home court, took care of that business," Anthony said. "That was real important for us.''
This was the first time the Knicks opened a playoff series at home since 2001 and the first time they've led a series since that year. They were up 1-0 and 2-1 on Toronto in the first round but lost in five.
The second-seeded Knicks are trying to win a playoff series for the first time since 2000, but after winning 54 games and the Atlantic Division title, they believe they can win it all. Above each player's locker is a picture of the championship trophy on one door and "16 to win!" on the other.
That's how many victories it takes to win it all. Now the Knicks have 15 to go. Game 2 is Tuesday night at the Garden.
"This is a veteran ballclub," Jason Kidd said. "We know we haven't accomplished anything. For us, Game 1 is over and we've got to find a way to protect home in Game 2 because the swing games have always been the biggest ones."
Before the game, the Boston Fire Department Color Guard and the New York Fire Department presented the flag and Anthony and Paul Pierce addressed the crowd regarding the tragic events of the past week in Boston.
The Knicks and Celtics were united for that moment and adversaries the rest of the afternoon. But the Knicks won the battle when they easily could have been down 1-0.
After starting 4-for-4, Anthony missed 15 of his next 19. The Knicks were playing too much one-on-one, with Anthony and J.R. Smith (15 points) seemingly alternating shots.
Pierce's three-pointer gave the Celtics a 70-63 lead with 1:20 left in the third quarter, but the Knicks' defense was stifling after that. They held the seventh-seeded Celtics to 3-for-14 shooting the rest of the way.
With the crowd chanting "Dee-fense" louder than it had at any point this season, the Knicks forced the Celtics -- who desperately missed injured point guard Rajon Rondo -- into eight turnovers in the fourth quarter and allowed eight points in the quarter, a Knicks playoff record. They held the Celtics without a field goal in the last 4:32.
"When you're struggling to make shots, you have to damn sure make sure they're not making them," Mike Woodson said. "I thought in the second half we were as solid as we've been all year from a defensive standpoint."
Kidd and Martin, playing for the first time since spraining his left ankle April 9, spearheaded the defensive performance as the Knicks limited Boston to 25 points and 7-for-27 shooting in the second half.
Martin finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and two blocks. His play was big because Tyson Chandler, who missed 15 of the previous 19 games with a bulging disc in his neck, was ineffective (zero points, five rebounds). Kidd had eight points, five rebounds and three assists, and all three of his steals came in the fourth quarter.
"He has a champion's heart," Chandler said. "He got his hands on the ball and dove for it and came up with it for a key possession. That's championship."
Jeff Green led Boston with 26 points but had only six after halftime. Pierce scored 21 but shot 6-for-15. Garnett had a quiet game with eight points and nine rebounds. But the Knicks expect him and his teammates to play differently Tuesday.
"It's going to be a battle," Anthony said. "Although we won, we didn't really do nothing. We just protected our home court, got our first win. Game 2 will be even tougher."

Thermal Data Handling Facilities
What are they for?
A range of thermal tests are carried out to assess the satellite's thermal reaction to the space environment. The Thermal Data Handling facilities provide a set of excellent tools of monitor, record and analyse the thermal response of satellites and their payloads during testing.
What kind of testing do they support?
The facilities gather data for several types of thermal testing:
- Thermal balance tests – Satellites incorporate a thermal design subsystem to maintain a fixed temperature range in space conditions. Designers seek to strike an optimal 'thermal balance' between the heat of the Sun, the cold of space and the heat produced by payload electronics. Thermal balance testing subjects the spacecraft to space conditions to see if the temperature of the structure and component subsystems behaves as the thermal designers have modelled.
- Thermal vacuum tests – These involves subjecting the satellite or components to representative vacuum, cryogenic temperature and solar illumination conditions for prolonged periods of time, often several weeks. It typically incorporates 'thermal cycling' where the satellite's response to the rapid temperature shifts caused by rapid transit between sunlight and shadow.
- Infrared radiation tests – The satellite is subjected to infrared radiation from heaters to simulate the heat flux through its structure – how it absorbs and re-emits heat.
- Photogrammetry measurements – Thermal stress can induce harmful structural deformation in satellite structures and crucial subystems such as antennas and reflectors. Very high-precision optical cameras are used to monitor any change in the position of targets attached to the test subject.
The Thermal Data Handling system can gather data for several test facilities at the same time.
What are their features?
The facilities record all the parameters from the test chamber as well as the thermal instrumentation installed on the test specimen. Scanners are available to record the most common type of signals used during thermal tests such as thermocouples, platinum sensors and voltage output sensors.
The reliability of the data handling system is assured by a dual sensor management system, a high degree of redundancy in peripheral equipment and the continuous monitoring of tasks under software control.
The safety of test subjects is assured by the generation of messages and alarm signals when sensor- or derived values exceed pre-set limits or slopes.
The different signals interface to a unique ESA-developed software called STAMP (System for Thermal Analysis, Measurement and Power supply control) able to support thousands of sensors and hundreds of different power supplies used in thermal tests, processing and presenting the acquired data in real time.
What benefits do they deliver?
The Thermal Data Handling facilities linked to the STAMP software system deliver:
- Extreme flexibility – Each test requires a unique set of data acquisition, reduction and presentation capabilities. STAMP can accept almost any specifications for test configurations and requirements and, if necessary, alter them at the last minute or even during the tests themselves.
- Data acquisition – Automated data acquisition from different types of scanner enables versatile acquisition and measurement. If needed, 'raw' values acquired from the sensors can be processed and converted using formulae into meaningful engineering values. Engineers can use formulae to derive new sensor values from those acquired from real measurements. Such a sensor is called a 'virtual sensor'. The real scanners are periodically scanned according to a defined frequency. A typical scan period is 120 seconds for thermal measurements and 30 seconds for power supply control.
- Data presentations – The data can be presented in several forms locally or remotely through a secure server. This allows the sharing of data with specialists not present on site as the test proceeds.
