Odlin Timber Track
With great views, climbs and bushland, a fantastic track for the experienced tramper.
Though the track goes all the way to Orange Peel Corner (providing access to the Huia area networks), this track is most used for the access it provides to the Pararaha and Cowans Stream. This is a pity as combining the track with the Walker Ridge, Muir, Pararaha Valley, Buck Taylor and Zion Ridge Tracks makes for a complicated sounding but actually great half day loop walk with some great views, good climbs and not much in the way of crowds. Odlins track itself can be slippery under foot and care should be taken after wet weather and during winter. Though the Pararaha and Cowans Stream are popular off track routes they are not maintained by park staff and not recommended for people new to tramping. Please seek advice from the Arataki Visitor Centre or Canyonz (a registered guiding company) if you are thinking of going in these areas.
What to expect:
Tramping tracks will:
consist of formed and drained surfaces.
be signposted at track entrances and key junctions.
Tramping tracks may:
have structures in permanent wet areas but waterways will not generally be bridged.
Tramping tracks may also have limited track information, and steep grades.
Suitable for people of reasonable fitness and experience.
Distance:2.8 km Time:2.0 hours Views:As an inland track the views are limited but some of the vistas overlooking the valleys are beautiful. Wheelchair access:No Pram access:No
Toilets:There are no toilets at the car park (and it can get busy over summer). The closest toilets are a long drop at the Odlins 2 Campground (bring your own toilet paper), where the track crosses the Cowans Stream. Other wise Toilets are available at the Karekare Beach car park area. Note: the toilets that used to be at the junction with the Pararaha Stream have now been removed.Drinking water:There is no drinking water available. Drinking from the stream is no recommended without treatment. Please bring enough water for your visit with you in a reusable container.
From the parking area on Lone Kauri Road,take the track following parallel to the road (not the one heading up the hill) track after about 50 metres descends to the Pararaha Stream. Cross the stream and ascend following and old cutting over saddle, across Cowan Stream and up a long spur to Orange Peel Corner.

The other day one of my teenage daughters told me she was going to delete her Facebook page. She said she kept noticing that her mood and the way she felt about herself changed whenever she was logged on. She felt pressured about her looks and her social life; basically, she was not feeling good about herself whenever she was using Facebook.

101 Ways to Make a Difficult Divorce Easier on Your Children
The following is a list of things you can do to make your children's lives easier after a divorce. Read these tips as reminders of what you and your co-parent should be doing to ease the stress of divorce on your children. Remember that the reason why you should do these things is that if you don't your children will join the ranks of those who become emotionally hurt by the process of divorce.
Why Married Women Flirt
When single, you likely engaged in flirting as a way to introduce yourself to men and entice them to take a romantic interest in you. Based upon this logic, it would seem that, upon marrying, your flirting would stop. While for some, a ring on the finger does prevent them from engaging in playful flirtation, for many women, flirting while married is commonplace. Even though flirting while married may seem odd–or perhaps even wrong–a number of biological and emotional reasons explain why some married women fail to give up the flirt.
How to Make Marriage Work After Separation
After a separation it may seem like your marriage will never be the same again. While this may be true, you can try to make the change positive instead of negative.It's amazing how much you can shift within a relationship by simply shifting your own thoughts and behaviors.
How to Get Back Sexual Desire During Pregnancy
What with the hormonal changes, the morning sickness, and the uncertainty of exactly what's happening inside your body, you may find yourself at what seems a total impasse when it comes to sex while you're pregnant. Fluctuations of libido are normal, especially during pregnancy. The best thing you can do is relax and take care of yourself.
How Close to My Period Is it Safe to Have Sex?
Sex without condoms feels better for both men and women, but you risk pregnancy–and sexually transmitted diseases–when you don't use them. If you are not using hormonal birth control and want to limit your chances of getting pregnant without using condoms, you need to time your intercourse correctly. Using fertility awareness, you can use condoms only when you have a higher chance of conceiving.
The Best Love Match for Cancers
The Cancer woman is devoted to her home, family and lover, which can sometimes seem smothering, but she simply has a desire to protect. Cancers are known for being sensitive and reluctant to share their feelings. My Daily, a horoscope website, cites that a Cancer's biggest weakness is the fear of repeating past mistakes in his present life. Nurturing and careful, Cancers are picky when it comes to love, but once they find a mate, their loyalty and sexiness shine through.

Iran doesn't expect deal in coming nuclear talks
TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's foreign minister said Sunday his country does not expect to cement a final deal in the coming round of nuclear talks with world powers.
Mohammad Javad Zarif spoke to reporters after meeting his Belorussian visiting counterpart, Vladimir Makei.
"We don't expect to reach a deal in this round of talks. Nor was a deal on the agenda for this round of talks. We have agreed to discuss a number of issues in this round," Zarif said.
Zarif said Tehran and world powers will discuss "dimensions" of Iran's nuclear activities like uranium enrichment, a heavy water reactor as well as sanctions in the Tuesday and Wednesday talks in Vienna.
"We will also discuss international cooperation in the field of peaceful nuclear technology," Zarif said.
Iran capped uranium enrichment after a deal in November for a six month period, in return for easing sanctions by the West.
That interim agreement is meant to lead to a final accord that minimizes any potential Iranian nuclear weapons threat in return for a full lifting of sanctions.
Meanwhile, 200 Iranian lawmakers issued a statement urging Tehran's negotiators not to withdraw from the "rights of the Iranian nation." Iran says it has the right under the U.N.'s Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium.
Many Iranian hardliners believe the Iranian team has given too many concessions to the West in return for too little.
The West suspects Iran's nuclear program has a military dimension. Tehran denies the charge saying its nuclear program has aimed at peaceful purposes like power generation and medical treatment.
They lawmakers said Iranian negotiators should not accept any discussion of the country's military and missile programs, which Tehran says have no connection to its nuclear program.

Seeing folk/country artist Suzy Bogguss up close performing at the Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant in downtown Minneapolis this past spring was one of my 2011 highlights. I wrote about the show briefly in "Aces." I loved Suzy and the show.
John Hinderaker caught up with Suzy when she returned to Minnesota this fall. John is a serious fan of country music, so I was particularly interested in his take. John gave it to us in "Belated Suzymania."
When Suzy appeared at the Dakota she provided a preview of her wonderful American Folk Songbook recording. When she returned in the fall, she was supporting the release of the disc. The disc is clearly a labor of love.
After seeing her at the Dakota, I signed up for Suzy's newsletter. In the December newsletter Suzy includes the video of her performing one of the numbers off American Folk Songbook from the recording session for Suzy Bogguss LIVE from Sirius XM Nashville, broadcast on November 29. Here she is performing "Careless Love" backed by guitarist Pat Bergeson, bassist Charlie Chadwick et al. It is so beautiful.

UNHCR calls on the Government of Myanmar to create a secure environment for Rohingya and protect all communities
United Nation- New york
By|Tony Wild
UN Assistant High Commissioner for Refugees Volker Türk on Wednesday concluded his visit to Myanmar by calling on the government to allow unrestricted humanitarian access to needy communities and the voluntary and dignified return of refugees.
During his meeting with officials, the Assistant High Commissioner urged the Government to ensure a safe environment and protect all communities in Rakhine State. He also called for unrestricted humanitarian access to enable relief organizations to provide life-saving assistance and build confidence among needy communities.
Turk reiterated the right of return for the hundreds of thousands of refugees who had fled from Rakhine State to Bangladesh; he appealed for a safe, voluntary and sustainable return to their places of origin.
Turk welcomed the government's initiative to hold a joint workshop with UNHCR on international standards for voluntary repatriation on 31 October.
The Assistant High Commissioner confirmed UNHCR's readiness to support the Government and hoped that the workshop would be a step towards involving the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in the Government's voluntary repatriation plans.
Turk also welcomed the renewal of the Government's commitment to the speedy implementation of the recommendations of the Rakhine State Advisory Committee and said that those recommendations provided an important road map for moving forward.
Saudi Arabia kingdom stresses the need to alleviate the suffering of the Rohingya Muslim minority
United Nations
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stressed the need to alleviate the suffering of the Rohingya Muslim minority.
It called on the international community and member states of the United Nations to stand against violations against them and to urge the government of Myanmar to respect its international obligations and commitments.
This came in the kingdom's statement today at the United Nations commenting on the report of the crimes committed against the Rohingya. The statement was delivered by the Organization Affairs Officer of the Permanent Delegation of the Kingdom to the United Nations Faisal Al-Haqbani.
The Saudi official said that the kingdom had been one of the first countries to support the cause of the Muslims of Myanmar in international forums and organizations.
He added that "Since 1948, my country has started to host them, and now they are more than 300,000 living in the kingdom ...
The Kingdom is also one of the first countries to intervene in the Muslim Rohingya minority crisis through King Salman Humanitarian Relief and Humanitarian Center and has sent more than 100 tons of aid to Rohingya in Bangladesh ... The Kingdom has also provided approximately 66 million dollars in support for Rohingya refugees over the last 10 years and has committed $ 20 million."
UNHCR: KSRelief Sending Team To Assess Rohingya Refugees' Needs in Bangladesh
King Salman Relief and Humanitarian Aid Center (KSRelief) signed here today a joint cooperation pact with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).
The agreement was co-signed by Dr. Abdullah bin Abdualziz Al-Rabiah, Consultant at the Royal Court and General Supervisor of (KSRelief), and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi.
This agreement aims to enhance strategic cooperation and partnership between the two organizations.
Following the signing ceremony, Dr. Al-Rabiah disclosed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia supported the affected people in 38 countries through providing 232 relief and humanitarian programs in addition to hosting 561,911 Yemeni visitors (refugees), 262,573 Syrian visitors (refugees) and more than 300,000 Barmawis.
For his part, Grandi stressed that KSRelief is the first center organization visiting the Rohingya camps to assess the situation there in addition to other examples in Yemen and Syria, pointing out to a cooperation between the two sides to support the Syrian refugees and displaced people in neighboring states.
IOM: Two thousand Rohingya refugees arrive daily in Bangladesh
By|Abeer Almadawy
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports that an estimated 2,000 Rwhanga refugees arrive daily at the Cox-Bazar camp in Bangladesh, fleeing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine State.
"Relief agencies are warning of a severe food shortage, which could soon lead to widespread malnutrition," FAO spokesman Joel Millman told a news conference on Friday.
For his part, the spokesman for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR is seeking an additional $ 84 million urgently over the next six months to help more than half a million ROHINGEE refugees in Bangladesh, and emergency assistance will focus on the protection of refugees Shelter, water and sanitation and strengthening the capacity of host communities in the south-east of the country.
As refugee populations continued to grow, alleviating the overcrowding of the existing camps, Kutupalong and Nyabara, was also a priority. The population of the two camps is now double the pre-crisis number.

HAYWARD — Police on Friday identified a body found earlier this week as that of a 19-year-old Hayward man who disappeared last month, and have classified his death as a homicide.
Luis Calleros, 19, was last seen Oct. 21 leaving his home near Folsom and Pompano avenues. His father reported him missing Nov. 1, police said.
His body was found Tuesday night inside an abandoned auto repair shop at 28953 Mission Blvd. Police did not release the cause of death, but did say his death was being treated as a homicide. The man's identity was confirmed through dental records and an examination, police said.
Police said after the body was found that it appeared to have been there for a lengthy amount of time based on the level of decomposition. Deputies at the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau identified Calleros with the help of dental records, police said.
Anyone with information about Calleros' death or disappearance is asked to call police at 510-293-7000 or submit an anonymous tip at 510-293-7197.
Staff writer Natalie Neysa Alund contributed to this report.

This appendix describes how you can use the TCP diagnostic facility to verify that RUEI "sees" all required network traffic. It is strongly recommended that a network engineer within your organization validates collected network traffic after installation and configuration of RUEI.
The TCP diagnostics utility allows you to create 1-minute snapshots of the network traffic seen by a selected Collector. This snapshot can then be used to help determine whether there are gaps in the expected traffic flow. For example, there could be unconfigured port numbers, or an incorrectly specified VLAN ID.
The TCP traffic can be analyzed across client and server IP and MAC address, as well as port number and VLAN ID. Each snapshot's scope in terms of network traffic information is shown in Figure F-1.
Figure F-1 Example Network Topology
To create a TCP traffic snapshot, do the following:
Within the Configuration facility, click the Show Collector status icon. Alternatively, select System, then Status, and then Collector status. The Network data Collectors window shown in Figure F-2 opens. This is fully explained in the Oracle Real User Experience Insight User's Guide.
Figure F-2 Network Data Collectors
Click the required Collector. The System (localhost) item refers to the Collector instance running on the Reporter system. Other Collectors within the network are represented by their IP address.
Click the TCP diagnostics tab. A panel similar to the one shown in Example F-0 appears.
Click the New snapshot icon in the toolbar. The dialog shown in Figure F-4 appears.
Figure F-4 New TCP Traffic Snapshot Dialog
Use the Apply filters check box to specify whether the create traffic snapshot should be created to report all traffic seen by the selected Collector, or only that traffic that fits the Collector's currently defined filters (see the Oracle Real User Experience Insight User's Guide for more information). These are shown in the lower part of the dialog. Note that you can also view them by clicking the View snapshot filters icon on the toolbar. When ready, click Create snapshot.
Note:The maximum number of traffic snapshots across all Collector systems in your RUEI installation is 15. When this maximum is reached, the oldest snapshot is automatically replaced by the newly created snapshot.
There is a 1-minute delay while the snapshot is created. Upon completion, an overview of the newly created snapshot's details is presented. An example is shown in Figure F-5.
Figure F-5 TCP Traffic Snapshot Overview
To analysis a created snapshot, do the following:
Select the required snapshot from the snapshot menu, or click it via the TCP diagnostics main panel (shown in Figure F-3). Snapshots created with applied filters are indicated with a tick character in the Filtered column. You can view the applied filters by clicking the tick character.
An overview of the selected snapshot (similar to the one shown in Figure F-5) appears. Note that you can click a selectable item to filter on it. For example, the list of reported items should be restricted to those that include a particular server IP address. You can remove a filter by clicking the Remove icon beside it in the filters section of the panel.
Optionally, use the sort menu (shown in Figure F-6) to the right of the snapshot menu to select the primary column used for the displayed items.
The Status column shown in Figure F-5 indicates whether a possible problem may exist with the TCP traffic monitored during the snapshot. In the event of a fail status being reported, you can mouse over the status icon to see additional information. Possible identified problems are explained in Table F-1.
Table F-1 Identify Problems and Possible Causes
Client/server packet ratio is too high.
The number of client packets compared to server packets seems to be unusually large. This could indicate that the Collector cannot see both directions of traffic due (or is seeing duplicate traffic in one direction), or there is a server-related issue (for example, it is switched off).
Server/client packet ratio is too high.
The number of server packets compared to client packets seems to be usually large. This could indicate that the Collector cannot see both directions of traffic due (or seeing duplicate traffic in one direction), or there is a client-related issue (for example, unacknowledged server packets).
Insufficient number of server and client packets for analysis.
There was insufficient traffic (TCP packets) to perform a reliable client/server ratio analysis. A minimum of 100 packets is required. This may because normal traffic levels to the server are low. Otherwise, it may indicate routing issues with RUEI being unable to see some portions of network traffic.
Server VLAN ID does not match client VLAN ID.
This would normally indicate a routing issue. For example, traffic from the client to the server is being routed via one VLAN, but the traffic back from the server to the client is being routed via another VLAN. Be aware that RUEI can only monitor traffic on one VLAN segment at a time.

Hybrid nanostructures: Getting to the core
Material scientists expect the new multifunctional properties of hybrid nanostructures will transform the development of high-performance devices, including batteries, high-sensitivity sensors and solar cells. These self-assembling nanostructures are typically generated by depositing ultrasmall objects with different properties on the surfaces of tiny semiconducting wires. However, the factors that govern their formation remain elusive, making these structures difficult to control and design.
To fill this gap, Bharathi Srinivasan and co-workers from the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing have developed a computational approach that sheds light on the self-assembly of these nanostructures on multi-sided, or polygonal, nanowires. They first identified how different nanostructure patterns grow on nanowires by conducting energy calculations in a theoretical analysis before analyzing these patterns by performing numerical simulations.
Srinivasan's team designed two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) models of nanowires with a square, hexagonal or octagonal core surrounded by various shell configurations. Analysis of the energy profiles of these configurations showed that the researchers could control shell morphology by changing the core size. The theoretical analysis also revealed the transitions between these different configurations—a valuable insight into the self-assembly mechanism.
For the numerical simulation, the researchers constructed a 'phase-field' model, which mathematically defined the phase transitions of the shell material. This allowed them to simulate the self-assembly process of the nanostructures on the nanowires after depositing the 'seed' in the form of 'quantum dots', which are miniature semiconductors. The equations used in the simulation describe both the thermodynamics and the kinetics of self-assembly, Srinivasan notes.
Both the 2D and 3D simulations showed that the deposited shells underwent morphological transformations that mirrored the energy calculations. At the initial deposition stage—the lowest size range—the shells consisted of perfect cylinders in the 2D model, and they formed ultrasmall rings, or 'nanorings', stacked along the vertical direction of the nanowire, in the 3D model.
As the core expanded, the 2D models indicated that the shells could break into smaller wires. For the intermediate-sized cores, each wire sat on the sides of the core. For the largest-sized cores, they sat on the corners. In the 3D simulations, the nanorings divided into quantum dots that materialized into columns on the nanowire facets and migrated towards the ridges upon further growth (see image). Simulations of heat treatment yielded the same configurations as those during growth.
"Our future work [will be] to understand the growth of different hybrid nanostructures, including quantum dots on shells, nanorings and other quantum dots," says Srinivasan.

When we read the book it reminded us of our work on our school broadcast. I (Nitesh) felt stage fright like the actress, Jenny, in the story. It reminded me (Brandon) of when I almost messed up on the school broadcast as Clawdio almost did in the story. We liked the illustrations because they look so cartoon like. Our favorite picture was when Clawdio looked in the mirror and imagined himself as the character of Captain Hook.
If you like Radio City Music Hall in New York City or any other place to see a live show, you will like this book. We recommend this book to people that like the theater and to people who like cats as well as wonderful illustrations. Even if you don't like the theater, you might like the book because it's funny. Clawdio will make you laugh. It is also interesting. Clawdio can also tell you things about backstage in a theater that you might not have known before!

A study lead by a University of Pennsylvania scientist examined the region's 2011 flood to offer new insights about how diversions off the Mississippi River might help restore Louisiana's wetlands.
A study lead by a University of Pennsylvania scientist examined the region's 2011 flood to offer new insights about how diversions off the Mississippi River might help restore Louisiana's wetlands.
Scientists found that during the flood, sediment-laden water jetted down the controlled and leveed Mississippi River, shooting far out into the Gulf and out of the system. In contrast, river water coming down the slow-moving Atchafalaya River was allowed to flood the basin when a flood-control outlet called the Morganza spillway was opened for the second time ever.
The action flooded nearly 7,500 square miles of land, damaged crops and homes, and took several lives.
But it also offered scientists a rare look into how floods in the delta may have looked before river control structures locked the river into place.
"While this was catastrophic to the people living in the Atchafalaya Basin, it was also simulating — accidentally — the sort of natural flood that used to happen all the time," said Douglas Jerolmack, an assistant professor in the Earth and Sciences Department at the University of Pennsylvania and lead scientist on the study.
"We were interested in how this sort of natural flooding scenario would differ from the controlled floods contained within levees that we normally see in the delta," Jerolmack said.
Scientists said the research might help the state's efforts to recreate land-sustaining river floods by opening up diversions off the Mississippi River. This is among the only large-scale experiments conducted to look at how those diversions might function.
"We were interested in taking advantage of the 2011 flood to understand something about the hydrodynamics, the way the water moves out of the river outlets and how much sediment might be carried out with that flow and into the marshes," said Karen McKee, a recently retired U.S. Geological Survey research ecologist who worked on the project.
The research, which was reported in Nature Geoscience, included scientists from five universities in the United States and Italy, the Geological Survey and Italy's National Research Council.
The team began by examining satellite images showing the plume of sediment-laden water pouring from the mouths of the Atchafalaya and Mississippi rivers. They calculated the amount of sediment in the plumes based on the ocean color in the satellite images. Field samples taken from a boat in the Gulf of Mexico helped to corroborate these calculations. Boat sampling also allowed them to gather data on the speed of the plume and the extent to which river water mixed with ocean water.
From the satellite images, researchers observed that the Mississippi River unleashed a jet of water into the ocean. In contrast, the waters diverted into the Atchafalaya Basin spread out over 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, of coastline, the sediment lingering in a wide swampy area.
McKee led a team that travelled by helicopter to 45 sample sites covering nearly 125 miles of coast to sample sediment cores.
They observed more sediment deposited in more locations across the Atchafalaya Basin. Below the end of the Mississippi River levees in the Bird's Foot Delta, there were also substantial amounts of river sediment, McKee said. But almost no sediment reached the river-starved parishes in Terrebonne and Lafourche, which was expected.
Scientists believe the Atchafalaya's slower flow allowed direct deposit of sediment into the marshes. And what sediment ended up in the Gulf was in the near shore current in shallow water, where it might have an opportunity to be deposited back into the marshes during a storm or high tide.
The sediment carried by the Mississippi was shot out into the Gulf so far that it left the system completely, McKee added.
"You have this intentionally flooded Atchafalaya Basin, and when those flood waters hit the coast they were trapped there for a month, where tides and waves could bring them back on shore," Jerolmack said. "Whereas in the Mississippi channel, where all the waters were totally leveed, you could see from satellite images this sort of fire hose of water that pushed the sediment from the river far off shore."
Jerolmack said the Atchafalaya is showing us that "this is the sort of diversion that you would need in order to create effective sedimentation and marsh building."

text:
O Most holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ: by the overwhelming grief you experienced when you witnessed the martyrdom, the crucifixion, and the death of your divine Son, look upon me with eyes of compassion and awaken in my heart a tender commiseration for those sufferings, as well as a sincere detestation of my sins, in order that, being disengaged from all undue affections for the passing joys of this earth, I may long for the eternal Jerusalem, and that henceforth all my thoughts and all my actions may be directed toward this one most desirable object. Honor, glory, and love to our divine Lord Jesus, and to the holy and immaculate Mother of God. Amen.
Prayer to Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows by St. Bonaventure
The origin of the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows dates back to the twelfth century, but it was not until 1667 that the Vatican officially approved a feast for Our Lady of Sorrows. Then, in 1814, Pope Pius VII added the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows to the Roman Catholic calendar of saints. He assigned it to the third Sunday in September. In 1913, Pope Pius X changed the date of the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows to September 15, the date on which it is still celebrated today.
The sorrows to which the title, Our Lady of Sorrows, refers are the seven sorrows that the Blessed Virgin suffered during the life and death of her Son, Jesus Christ:
- The Prophecy of Simeon (Luke 2:34-35)
- The Flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13)
- The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple (Luke 2:43-45)
- Mary Meets Jesus on the Way to Calvary (Luke 23:26)
- Jesus Dies on the Cross (John 19:25)
- Mary Receives the Body of Jesus in Her Arms (Matthew 27:57-59)
- The Body of Jesus is Placed in the Tomb (John 19:40-42)
By chance (or was it divine intervention?) Our Lady of Sorrows featured prominently in my discovery of my Danko family origins. Several years ago, one of my cousins faxed me copies of several photographs and cards his parents had obtained when they visited Poland. Since the copies I had were faxes of photocopies, the images were rendered almost unrecognizable. Fortunately, someone had written, in Polish, a description on the reverse side of each image.
A picture of Our Lady of Sorrows in the parish of Dubiecko, Poland… originating from the end of the sixteenth century.
A souvenir from the Dubiecko parish. The altar of Our Lady of Sorrows in the Dubiecko parish, to which belongs the village of Nienadowa, from which came the parents of Mr. Joseph Danko from the U.S.A.
Here was Our Lady of Sorrows, leading me to the village where my Danko grandparents lived (Nienadowa, Poland), and the parish where they worshipped (Dubiecko, Poland)!
The following autumn, I traveled to Poland and visited the parish church in Dubiecko. I arrived at the church shortly before noon, but found both the church and the rectory tightly locked with not a soul in sight. By luck (or was it again divine providence?), just as I was preparing to leave, a local nun came to ring the church bells and say the Angelus. She opened the door to the church and invited me in.
Once inside the church, my eyes fixed on the altar. There was the Altar of Our Lady of Sorrows, just as on the faxed photocopy my cousin sent me. Immediately above the crucifix on the main altar, was the picture of Our Lady of Sorrows.
The nun explained to me about the history of the church. She told me that my grandparents would not have known this church building; it was constructed long after they emigrated to America. During the time my ancestors lived in Nienadowa, parishioners worshipped in a small chapel that was located on the same site as the present church.
After leaving the church, I visited the parish cemetery where my ancestors were buried and found many graves with the surnames of my ancestors. I then visited the village of Nienadowa and discovered that there were still Dankos living there. I had a very enjoyable visit with them. I returned to the rectory in Dubiecko during the hours it was open and the pastor permitted me to search the parish records. To my delight and amazement, I found the first of many records for my Danko ancestors.
Since that trip, Our Lady of Sorrows has always held a special place in my heart. On this day, September 15, the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows, I plan to meditate on the seven sorrows of Mary, to remind myself of the significance she has for the faithful in the parish of Dubiecko, and to thank her for the role she played in helping me find my ancestors.

Bring Something to the Table
Genealogists are really excellent networkers. They like to share and they like to help other people. Those are two attributes that will lead to a successful networking encounter.
I've had some great networking meetings. Probably the best one ever was a tweetup (twitter + meetup) with Melissa Mannon of Archives Info. Not only was it my first tweetup but it was my first networking event in a cemetery as we had agreed to meet in Forefathers Cemetery in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
When Melissa and I met we talked a bit about what each of us did for work and the direction we were heading. Then we talked about our mutual desire to work together in some capacity and brainstormed a bit about that. We haven't actually worked together yet but that meeting was the start of a very interesting and supportive working relationship.
I have another friend that I've been talking to and brainstorming with for several years now. We have been looking for a project that will allow us to work together. It hasn't happened yet but the discussions over the years have helped us slowly build our working relationship and get to know each other.
Unfortunately, not every networking encounter goes well. Take for example the coffee meeting I had recently. A week or so ago a person called me up after reading a newspaper article about one of my projects. This person is not a genealogist or historical researcher. She was offering up her illustration services as an artist.
When she called me I wasn't sure if there would be a need for her services but I told her I would be willing to meet her for coffee and to see her work. When I arrived she showed me her work which I liked. But I had a sense that what she was looking for was a paid project. In order to clarify the situation quickly, I told her there would be no paid opportunity for her to contribute to. In fact, I was already donating my time to the project. The tone changed quickly.
I like happy endings so I discussed with her how I could refer her work to others in the long run. I also discussed ways in which she could get visibility to help build her business. I also suggested to her to get a business card and an online presence. I explained that it is more challenging to refer someone's work when a potential client can't easily access contact information or samples. I spent a lot of time showing her ways in which she could expand her business.
Can you sense what happened in this meeting? We spent a lot of time talking about her work and how I could help her. This was not networking. Encounters like this won't benefit both parties unless one of the participants is willing to spend the time to coax the other person along.
Here are some tips to help you steer clear of a situation like this and get on track for a successful networking meeting:
1) Take time to build a relationship
When you meet someone for the first time it's not about the transaction or exchange. More often it's about determining whether you want to invest time in the other person or to start building a relationship. Take the time to find commonalities whether they are personal or business related. Getting acquainted with someone let's them know you are willing to put in the effort for a friendship or business relationship.
2) Bring something to the table
When you meet someone for the first time make sure the relationship is a two-way street. It's as much about what you can do for them as what they can do for you. It's doesn't have to be something costly or time consuming. It can be as simple as offering your expertise or advice or facilitating a connection with other people. At the very least, show interest in what the other person does for work or a hobby. If you just take and don't bring anything of your own to the table, don't expect the relationship to go very far.
3) Pay the rent
I admit this is a pet peeve of mine. Coffee houses, whether small and independent or large chains, are happy to provide you with a free place to meet. But they are not doing it out of the goodness of their heart. They have water and electrical bills of their own to pay. Please respect them and support them by purchasing a cup of coffee or a muffin. Each person at the meeting should be buying something (or someone should treat everybody). It's one of those unspoken common sense things that shouldn't have to be talked about but speaks volumes about your character if you don't do it.

A very well timed post, Marian. I currently have someone in my community who has been trying to meet with me (he's no-showed. Twice.) regarding a heritage website he wants to start. He wants to do that simply because he purchased the rights to the domain name, not because he is genuinely interested in the community history. I have a feeling if that meeting ever does take place, it will be much like your coffee date. (I do not to go, even though instinct tells me not to at this point. 1. small community, and he is well known, so to block him out would be borderline dangerous for me, and 2. his business is in a historic building I really want to see, but its invite only.)ReplyDelete
So, thanks for this. It just reaffirms that I'm not crazy thinking that he needs to offer something as well: I have a feeling he is going to want me to write for him out of the goodness of my heart, which I just can't do.
Anyway, thanks.
Thanks for this posts that concretely defines my ideas of networking.ReplyDelete
I like this post. You have a humane approach, that both people should benefit rather than one person exploiting the other. Very wise--good business, good manners, and good character. Not everyone has common sense, and it's always smart to be cautious. And also to think twice about our own behaviors!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to a collaboration Marian! Time has gotten away from me. I actually may have something in mind for you for 2013...I'll send you an email soon ;) Thanks for including me in your post! Wonderfully written, as always.ReplyDelete

"If I have to tell you one more time to stop it, I'm gonna turn this car around and we'll go back home!"
How many times do we remember that threat – made by our exasperated parents – when we, as children, were behaving badly on a trip in the car?
Well, I'm starting to feel like the parent of naughty children. This week, I'm going to give the people of Milton a "time out."

It's not often we hardened tech hacks walk past a booth at CES and find ourselves overcome with desire, but the Parrot Zik by Starck has got us dribbling from the mouth this year.
The Zik by Starck was announced at CES last year, but we've not had a hands-on play with them until now. And what can we say, but, wow, and we want a pair. These headphones look stunning, and after a little listen we have to say the build quality, comfort and design is brilliant. Arguably better than 99 per cent of all the headphones we've ever worn.
To get the best out of these headphones, you need to install an app on your smartphone. This allows you to make changes to how they sound, via the EQ and "concert hall" settings. There's also a battery meter here and a way to update the firmware. This is also how you switch the active noise cancellation on and off.
The headphones are controlled by touch too, which we think is all kinds of cool. Swiping your finger across the earpiece will forward to the next track, tapping will pause - as will taking the headphones off your head, and having them rest around your neck - and the volume can be adjusted by swiping up and down.
Sound quality was lovely too, and that was the point at which we felt the urge to plonk down the £300 or so that these headphones cost. They might have been announced a year ago, but our desire for them is just getting started.

NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- Indian police swiftly handled a "security scare" at New Delhi's major airport early Friday amid heightened concern in the wake of last week's terror attack in which gunmen killed 179 people in Mumbai.
An Indian soldier joins the beefed up security detail at New Delhi airport.
New Delhi police spokesman Rajan Bhagat said police responded to reports of gunfire at Indira Gandhi International Airport but found no casualties or damage. Bhagat said there was "no terror threat."
"And there's no cause of panic," he added.
Uday Banerjee, the head of India's Central Industrial Security Force, told reporters at the airport that something sounding like gunshots was heard, but no one saw anything and no bullet casings were found.
Indian authorities stepped up security at the nation's airports on Thursday after receiving intelligence reports that terrorists might be planning an air attack.
At Indira Gandhi, four armed police stood guard at each entrance, and people waiting for arriving passengers were not allowed inside. Watch what triggered the security scare there »
"There have been intelligence inputs about some terrorist activity, and therefore security has been tightened (at airports)," civil aviation spokesperson Moushmi Chakraborty told CNN. Watch heightened anxiety after the attacks »
Police beefed up security at all airports including in the capital New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Bangalore, Chakraborty said.
A spokesman for the Indian Navy, Cmdr. Nirad Sinha, also confirmed to CNN that security officials had received warnings about an airborne attack. Watch more on increase in security »
The Press Trust of India, a nonprofit newspaper cooperative, said that reports had suggested that terrorists could have sneaked into the country to carry out strikes on the anniversary of the Babri mosque demolition. The mosque -- one of the largest in the Uttar Pradesh state -- was destroyed on December 6, 1992, by Hindu nationalists who believe it was built on the site of an existing temple.
On Wednesday India's defense minister met with the chiefs of the army, air force and navy and discussed what the ministry in a news statement called "possible terror threats from air."
The officials also discussed the country's coastal security plans and how to tighten security along the military line of control dividing the disputed region of Kashmir between India and Pakistan to "prevent infiltration of terrorists," the statement said.
India ranks among the countries where terrorism is most common, according to the U.S. State Department.
CNN's Harmeet Shah Singh and Sara Sidner contributed to this report.

Life under ice
Lake Vostok may harbor ingredients for a complex subglacial ecosystem
Pat Perry
Even by Antarctic standards, the Lake Vostok research station is inhospitable. The outpost at the heart of the frozen continent holds the record for the lowest naturally occurring temperature ever observed on Earth. Scientists commonly describe the place as punishing, unforgiving, the most desolate place on the planet.

This past Saturday and Sunday was another log of interesting acquaintances and thoughts. At least for me.
Saturday found me in Malad again. I had to leave really early in order to get out of there at a decent time to head to Salt Lake City. I left about 6:30 from Preston, and started spraying about 7:30 AM. I am getting used to this early thing. That does not mean I like it though.
One of the first jobs I did was for a Price family. I caught my arm on the chain link fence and took a large chunk out of my forearm. It was a great way to start the day. I think I might be allergic to silk worm silk. I walked under a tree with loads and I sneezed pretty regularly for the next hour or two. I thought my poor lungs would give out by the time I was done.
There was this one lawn I was spraying. Tim Burnett had this really cool recreation of an old time fueling station, like 1930's. He had created it out of all local materials. Some of the signs were very interesting. He came up and asked me some questions, then another neighbor, Don Hess, joined us. Before long we were talking politics in Malad. I am so dismayed that people go to such great lengths to do what they do. They passed a bond (what a fitting term, let's enslave the people) for a new jail. Now, I have no qualms with a new jail, but what in the world does Malad need a 64 person jail for? What is more, I am sure they will have somebody from outside design it and it will ruin the downtown spirit of Malad. From the 20 or so neighbors who ended up weighing in on the street, either joining us, or just catching the conversation walking by, not one liked the idea. I am not sure how they passed the bond if this is the sentiment. What was even more disgusting, is that the person who was behind it had much to gain by the building of the jail. As Tim was commenting, feathering his own nest at the expense of the community. Whoever the guy, apparently also a policeman, gets to sell his land for the building of it. Another neighbor commented how odd it is that the water line for the new jail is already being built (the street where we were talking was tore up) yet he still doesn't have enough water pressure at his home to adequately water his lawn (we spray his lawn as well). I have to admit,
I am really disgusted sometimes what happens in politics.

Larry drove over in my car to relieve me and finish what I did not finish spraying. I headed quickly to Kaysville. There I showered and changed, then Amanda and I headed to Salt Lake. We found a great little parking spot and headed to Abravanel Hall for A Prairie Home Companion. It was not his best show, I will admit. In fact, some of the show was quite the letdown. Usually they do a really interesting background on the areas that they go to. There was nothing of that sort in this show. Plus the news from Lake Wobegon actually was telling a story that he had already told, just with a different setup. There was some of it which was a really good laugh. Especially the Coffee Council. I did enjoy lives of the cowboys as well. I enjoyed the music the
most. It was a surprise that Amanda did not know any of the songs. The classic Americana songs which I remember singing at the county fair or other places, especially the sing songs in England, she did not know one of them. The ones I thought were well known like Good Night Ladies, and In the Good Ole Summertime.

The ones I thought were well known like Good Night Ladies, and In the Good Ole Summertime.
We finished the show and headed to Kaysville. There, we changed and got ready to attend the temple. Amanda's parents were finally able to join us for one. We drove up to Ogden together. I enjoyed the session. I learned some good things this time. Lately it seems I have been so tired I could not be in tune. We finished and headed home, happy to have completed our goal of attending all the temples in Utah before leaving for Virginia.
Sunday arrived far too early for me. We drove up to Tremonton for Jami Rupp's farewell. She is a sweet girl. We then headed south to Brigham City for Jeanette Smoot's farewell. We had some time, so we tried to pay a visit to Lenard and Donna Bruderer, but we could not find their house and they were not answering their phone. We went to the cemetery and walked around. Of mention was the grave of Lorenzo Snow. We then went down to the Box Elder Tabernacle with the intent of taking a nap on the lawn under a tree. However, I wanted to walk around and the building ended up being open. We watched a movie, took a tour, and the guy asked if we played organ. I ended up playing the organ for an hour. I was a bit rusty, but it came back. One guy who came in for a tour even said he was honoured to hear me play. (He must not go to church, they play better there!).
We headed to the farewell. It was good to see everybody, most of which we saw also at Jami's. Jeanette gave a good talk as well. Afterward we headed to the VFW Building for a little luncheon. It was fun. I enjoy good company. It was good food too.
We had to leave to meet Nathan and Holly Wayment. We were meeting them to sign the rental contract for their home in Glen Allen, Virginia. We met them at the old Perry Tabernacle, now the Heritage Theatre. We had a good visit with them.
We paid a visit to Grandpa in Plain City. He was in a good mood, however he was headed to a viewing for another friend. He said he liked the photos we gave to him. We talked some about Hobart Day and I told him about meeting Carma Preece in Vernal. He seemed interesting to know how she was doing.
Hobart Day was Grandpa's half brother. His father, John William Ross, had married a May Day (doomed marriage?) before my Great Grandmother. He had a son who lived in West Virginia. He was a preacher and married a Edna Montgomery. He was knocked blind when he was 21. Somebody threw something at him and hit him in the head. He was blind from that point on. He came out to visit Grandpa three times in his life. The first two times he brought his wife. Grandpa was telling me how he used to call him Big Brother. They took him all over. The last time he came out to visit, he came alone. Grandpa was telling me that before he put him on the bus to send him home Hobart day made a few comments. Something like, "I have been to Utah, been to a Mormon Sacrament, visited with a Mormon Bishop, now I can go home and die." Three days later he was dead. Grandpa said he got a letter or two from Edna afterward she had dictated to someone to write for her. But he did not know where they were and did not expect Edna to be around anymore. Hobart died in 1983.
Before leaving we asked Grandpa if he knew Amanda's Great Grandpa, Walter Wayment Hansen. He said he did, he even helped him add onto his house. Amanda found that interesting.
Grandpa had to go and we went to visit Glynn and Chyrrl Wayment. Nate and Holly arrived right before us. Glynn and Chyrrl both showed up shortly afterward. Nate wanted us to stop and visit with his parents so we did. They obviously knew Amanda's Great Grandparents, they only lived a stone throw away. I asked if Glynn knew Grandpa and he pointed to the white house to the south that he owns and said that Grandpa and Floyd Neilson built that house. He said of course he knew him. He had nothing but good to say about Grandpa. The same for Amanda's Great Grandfather.
We left and drove past her Great Grandparents home there in Warren. I called Jennie Britzman and asked if she was going to be around. She said she was. We headed over. Richard was there as well. We were there for several hours. We visited about life, Virginia, school, and I asked questions for family history. Jennie's mother was the sister to my Great Grandmother, Berendena (Dena) Van Leeuwen (married name Donaldson). Jennie said that many people thought her mother Jane (Jantje in the Dutch) were twins. She said that she liked Aunt Dena and Uncle Dave.
She told me that her mother used to have premonitions. She knew of things before they happened. When they were growing up in California she knew when the earthquakes were coming and would prepare for them. One time she knew a big one was coming and told her husband, William Frederick Bremer. He had become pretty edgy about her premonitions and did not want to hear of them. He would tell her to not speak of them and that he did not want to hear them. The same was on this occasion. But she knew a big one was coming so she hired somebody to put guards on the shelves in the pantry to keep the bottles on the shelves. But the time it took to get her husband to agree and for the work, he was only half done by the time the earthquake hit. This was in the 1930's in Los Angeles. They lost half of everything in the pantry because it was not all guarded.
She knew when my Great Grandmother was going to have her accident. She tried to convince Dena not to go where she was going. But she went anyway, and got in the accident that eventually would take her life.
Jennie was telling me about a time when she was going to run to the store. Her mother said that she saw Jennie flying through the air in an intersection. But the ambulance was in the way so she could not see how her state was. She plead with Jennie not to go but she did anyway. She made it to the store alright, but on the way back she was t-boned by a semi that ran a stop sign. Just like her mother said, the car was hit, the door flew open, and she flew across the intersection. She was obviously knocked silly and did not remember any of it. But it happened. When they called her mother, she responded to those on the phone, "I know what happened, how hurt is she?"
Amanda commented that my family all have strange gifts. I thought that was a funny comment. But I suppose it is true.
Jennie (who turns 90 this year) told me that Uncle Dave (my Great Grandpa) was deathly afraid of earthquakes. During the 1930's when he was working in the area as a plumber he did some work in their house, especially after the earthquake. When an aftershock would hit he would flee from house. He would always run from the house when anything started to shake. He commented to her once that he did not want to be in a basement and stuck down there if something happened. Jennie said she used to like to tease him. They would go to the window for the room Uncle Dave was in and then start shaking the window or screen. They used to laugh and laugh to see a man as big as him jump and run outside. She did not say if he ever knew it was them, but I don't think he did. I enjoyed this story.
We headed back to Amanda's parents. Mel and Shanna Thompson were there, Amanda's grandparents. We had a good little visit. They were working on family history. It was good to see them. I did not know that Mel was born in Pingree, Idaho.
I headed home to Provo for work on Monday morning. They have given me one last job to finish before I leave. It is a good little job and will keep me busy. It is to paint the walls in the crystal department. I have been working on it since.
Last night I went up and met Amanda and her family at the Bountiful Temple. We then went up Mueller Park with Rick for family photos. It was fun. I don't know if I will like any of the photos, but it was fun. Amanda's cousin Sherise was there to keep us entertained. We went out to eat Mexican at El Matidor (something like that). I way overate. It was very good food.
Anyhow, today we are packing to move to Virgina. Moving day is fast approaching. Looking forward to the trip!

In the two games, he made 13 of 18 shots from the field. He also earned all-tournament recognition and was selected as the first Ivy League Player of the Week for his performance at the season-opening John Thompson Classic at Nebraska. In three games, he averaged 17.7 points, including scoring a career-high 19 against Nebraska. He scored in double figures in 16 of the 25 games he played in. He did not play on Yale's trip to Spain last spring because he was recovering from wrist surgery. As a sophomore, Kaplan started a career-high 26 games and was fourth on the team in scoring (8.2 ppg.) and rebounding (3.8 rpg.). He reached double figures in scoring nine times. In Yale's win at Sacred Heart, he made 5 of 8 shots from the field and 7 of 8 free throws en route to scoring 17 points. His first two career three-pointers were instrumental in Yale's victory over Santa Clara. The first came late in the second half as the Bulldogs rallied from a five-point deficit in the final minute, and the second came in overtime to give Yale the lead for good. As a freshman, Kaplan appeared in 23 games, including three starts, and missed the other four games with a back injury. He shared the John C. Cobb Memorial Award as the team's top freshman with Casey Hughes. His top performance came at Harvard when he made 4 of 5 shots from the field and all four of his free throw attempts en route to scoring 12 points. That was the start of an impressive three-game stretch. The next weekend he had eight points in 23 minutes against Princeton and 10 points in 19 minutes against Penn. BEFORE YALE: Kaplan averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds and was a New England Prep School Conference Class A first team selection and the conference most valuable player as a senior.

|Standard Notes:
Planning the painting: This is very important!
First read through all the notes - mentally paint the picture before proceeding - analyse the source picture above - and PLEASE be aware of the colour mixes you are about to apply to each area, and the order in which they are applied, try visualising the result. Will the brush you are about to use carry enough colour - have you mixed enough colour - is the mix too strong or too weak? Try it out on your - trial pad!
Application of washes.
This should be quick using as few strokes as possible to cover any area being worked on. A minimal amount of brush-strokes equals greater purity and translucency of colour. Too much dabbing and scrubbing when applying the colour kills its freshness.
Basic Mixing Method.
More water in the wash gives a pale or weak wash, more colour produces a stronger wash. Most mixes require only two colours, one will be darker than the other. Mix sufficient quantity of the lighter colour and just keep adding small quantities of the darker colour until you feel happy with it, keep checking your progress on your trial pad.
Apply masking fluid as seen in the picture:
(which can be seen here as darker greenish parts)

BRUSSELS -- French President Nicolas Sarkozy apologised to Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen for France's controversial victory over Ireland in their World Cup play-off on Wednesday, but would not agree to a replay.
Cowen raised the issue of replaying the match with his French counterpart at a European Union summit in Brussels on Thursday after French captain Thierry Henry admitted he handled the ball in the build-up to William Gallas's winning goal in Paris.
Sarkozy said he was sympathetic to Ireland's position, but could not support Cowen's call for restaging the game.
"I told Brian Cowen how sorry I was for them," Sarkozy told reporters. "But don't ask me to substitute myself for the referee, or the French football authorities, or the European football authorities: leave me right where I am."
Cowen earlier backed an appeal by the Football Association of Ireland to soccer's world governing body FIFA to have the game replayed.
"Yes, I do (support the FAI). Our minister of sport will write to FIFA in support of that complaint and look for a re-match," he said.
"He (Sarkozy) would understand the sense of disappointment that the Irish people feel after the tremendous performance last night I think that fair play is a fundamental part of the game."
The FAI have asked FIFA to order a replay of the controversial World Cup playoff against France.
Irish soccer authorities said the extra time goal at the Stade de France, which gave France a 2-1 aggregate win and dominated news bulletins in Ireland all day, as well as being discussed in parliament, had "damaged the integrity of the sport." [ID:nLJ044429]
Citing a decision to invalidate the result of a World Cup qualifier between Uzbekistan and Bahrain in 2005 as a precedent, FAI chief executive John Delaney said he was not calling for a replay simply out of principle.
FIFA officials told Reuters that any replay would need the agreement of both football associations before the governing body could consider such an appeal.
