Tuesday's Tip - Beware! Online Cemetery Transcriptions
2 comments:
Thanks very much for the reminder, which extends to transcriptions of almost any kind. My g-grandfather is listed in the cemetery's records--online AND in the printed record card at the office--as Max, but his name was really Mayer. In other words, whoever printed or typed the cemetery's index card for him didn't transcribe it correctly from the headstone or got it wrong from a relative. Only because I looked at the stone could I confirm that it was him! Guess there's no substitute for checking the originals.ReplyDelete
Marian: You are absolutely correct. It is so easy to get caught up in the research and finding that elusive relative that sometimes we forget to question the validity of the source.ReplyDelete

Hearts ... to Beaufort County for offering residents a chance to help the environment and make good use of old Christmas trees by taking part in the annual Grinding of the Greens project.
With the help of the Keep Beaufort County Beautiful and the Beaufort County Solid Waste Recycling programs, residents can return Christmas trees to the land as mulch. This process also saves room at the landfill.
Mulching will take place Jan. 12 between 8 and 11 a.m. Mulch will be given away free of charge to anyone who brings a container to take it away.
Residents can drop off their trees day or night at one of the following locations.
• Beaufort - Beaufort Plaza near the theaters
• Bluffton - On Ulmer Road near the county tennis courts
• Hilton Head - The Coligny Beach parking lot
• Hilton Head - U.S. 278 at Squire Pope Road
Darts ... to the weather that we were saddled with for the first few days of the New Year. It was rainy, dark and gloomy.
Everywhere you went folks were comparing the greater Bluffton area to places like Pittsburgh, Cleveland and other dark places in the winter.
We know it is January, but one of the reasons a lot of us live here is because the Lowcountry offers nice weather pretty much year round.
At least for a couple of days it was just wet, but the temperatures were in the 60s.
We like the sunny weather and the smiles it brings with.
Dear weather Gods, please keep the sun out and the temps above freezing.
Hearts ... to Bluffton-based BFG Communications' contract with the state to handle marketing for the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism.
As we all know, tourism is big business and to have a local company win the state contract worth about $57 million is a big deal.
Once the 10-day protest period is over, we expect the state to award the contract and we expect even bigger things from BFG.
The local company has about 250 employees and most likely will be able to add to that workforce with the new work.
BFG will replace a Greenville firm, Leslie Advertising, which had contracted with the PRT for nearly 30 years. The new contract would go until sometime in 2019.
The company was founded in 1995 and its clients include Coca-Cola Co., Warner Brothers Entertainment, Hanes Brands, Snyder's-Lance Brands and Treasury Wine Estates.
We think the contract is just a sign of bigger things to come for BFG and we support and applaud the efforts by its CEO to land the contract.
Darts ... to the stupid crime that always seems to occur during the holidays. We are not sure if it is too much ham, turkey, family or what, but every year there seems to be an uptick in dumb crime news.
If you toss in alcohol you have a recipe for disaster.
We also should mention all the loud bangs that could be heard on New Year's Eve and we are pretty sure they did not come from fireworks.
Our law enforcement officials also deserve a little down time during the holidays, but they don't get it if they are out policing neighborhoods because of misbehaving adults.
Grow up, folks.
Hearts ... to the Don Ryan Center for Innovation as it announces its Third Tuesday program beginning Jan. 15 at the center in Buckwalter Technology Park next to CareCore National.
The advice sessions will be free and go from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. the third Tuesday of the month.
Center representatives will be on hand offering advice on how to turn a technology idea into a business or take an existing businesses to the next level.
Go out and see what you can learn about starting or running a business. Or just take an opportunity to visit the Don Ryan Center.

Today's jobs report was pretty meh: 155,000 new jobs, 7.8% unemployment.
But there were three pieces of news that are genuinely good that are worth pointing out.
1. It wasn't worse. Yes, this seems like a cop-out, but given that we had the Fiscal Cliff looming over the economy, and on the news every day, the fact that we didn't see a hit to job creation is a big relief.
2. Construction jobs. Housing has been picking up, but housing hasn't yet contributed significantly to jobs. Now it's happening. Construction added 30,000 jobs.
3. The labor force. The labor force jumped nearly 200,000 jobs. People are getting optimistic again, and heading back into the workforce.

Eko Nugroho
Témoin hybride
Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris
13.01.2012 – 11.06.2012
Eko Nugroho is an Indonesian artist born in Yogyakarta in 1977. Following the exhibition by Inci Eviner organised by SAM Art Projects in 2011, the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris will integrate the exhibition « Témoin hybride » (« Hybrid Witness ») by Eko Nugroho into its permanent collections. The artist will take possession of the space by covering the floor, walls and ceiling with mural paintings. He will also present around twenty canvases made during his time in Paris, hybrid characters somewhere between monsters and teenagers, bringing an unsettling and ironic point of view. These canvases alternate with imposing embroideries, a traditional technique hijacked by the artist, sculptures and characters seemingly from science-fiction and an animated film which is both playful and unsettling. Eko Nugroho criss-crosses Paris like he does in Yogyakarta, the cultural capital of the island of Java where he lives. He captures the noise and the frenzy of the street, the eye-contact, identity, attitudes. He tranlates this flow in his drawings and patterns which invade the space. All the means of creation are used to translate these meetings between Indonesia and the West, street culture and the art world, political stakes and intimate reflections. Although he was trained at the Indonesian Art Institute and presented in galleries and museums, Nugroho's work is deeply anchored in the urban environment. For ten years he has edited the comic book review Daging Tumbuh open to artists of all persuasions, he directs a clothes business which he customises and has made from the cast-offs of his area, in an Indonesia struggling to find economic stability. Eko works in situ, collaborating with local communities, occupying all the surfaces which he is given, from the façade of the Sucrière during the Biennale de Lyon in 2009, to the Espace Louis Vuitton during Summer 2011.
This exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris was held after Eko Nugroho's residency in 2011. A catalog was edited during the exhibition as a complement of the recent monography of the artist.

GREENBELT, Md., Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Astronauts on the International Space Station 240 miles above the Earth have captured a stunning image of Russian volcanoes, NASA says.
In the image, the snow-covered peaks of several volcanoes on the central Kamchatka Peninsula are seen poking their heads above cloud cover obscuring the surrounding lowlands, NASA's Earth Observatory staff reported.
A plume of steam and ash plume is visible extending from the summit of the 9,500-foot Bezymianny volcano.
Also visible are the much taller 15,000-foot Kamen volcano and the 15,800-foot Kliuchevskoi volcano.
Kliuchevskoi is Kamchatka's most active volcano, last erupting in 2011.
This region of Russia is known for its volcanic activity and eruptions are relatively frequent.
When the image was taken the ISS was about 240 miles above the Sea of Okhotsk and more than 430 miles to the southwest of the volcanoes, NASA said.

Thanks a lot for another great article!
I do weight-training Monday Wednesday Friday,
and I now want to incorporate 20min of 70% heart rate
cardio on Tuesday, Thursday (and perhaps Saturday).
This is a post for people who have fun thinking about details,
I know this amount of detail is unnecessary but I find it
interesting and am interested in your thoughts.
(Nutrition timing: -> ok, I realize this has been answered in
many different ways by different people (Lyle with yohimbe
there is a fasted advantage(?), Leangains best do it fasted
but take 10g BCAA 15min beforehand, Aragon fed cardio is
better for protein synthesis and same for fatburning over 24hours)
so please just go down to Type of Cardio if you are sick of it
Options I consider/see:
1. Doing it fasted. Good for burning fat (?).
2. Doing it at some point in time of the day but at least 3hours
after the first meal. Good for nutrient delivering into the muscles?
3. Doing it kinda fasted but taking 5g bcaa 15minutes before
training (or 10g whey 30min before, or 3b: bcaa and 10g
dextrose right before training)
I guess this would be same effect as number 2 and no need for it
if I can just choose to train later in the day.
Just by feeling I like Nr 3 best cause I have time in the morning
and do intermittent fasting but afraid of muscle loss.
And I take 200mg coffein and 40mg yohimbe bark powder
after waking up (started with 10mg and slowly tried more
and more but still no side effects noticeably but a boner;
is yohimbe = yohimbe bark powder?) so perhaps this helps
fatburn. (I guess to optimize I should take the caffeine and
yohimbe 5min before training)
Type of Cardio:
Definitely something that involves whole body, not just legs.
Options I consider / see:
1. Rowing or Elliptical trainer: Two classic cardio types that involve upper body
2. Doing movements that are from my specific sport and try to get 70% heartrate in these movements. Idea is to use cardio time to get better at this skill. Question is if 70% heartrate-training has any effect on getting better at the sport.
3. Did anyone ever think of this one (or rightfully not?): If bloodflow improves recovery and stuff why not just mimic my weight-training-exercises but making it continuous aerobic movements without weight? Like doing the exercises I right now do 3sets x 5 reps but do them continuously, without weights. Trying getting some pump/bloodflow and going for 70% heart rate.
4. Pilates? (I dont even know this); Kettlebell (also no idea about this), swimming, boxing -> I guess I could try a lot of stuff. (Or not my gym has no kettlebells, no swimming, no boxing and no pilates )
5. Circuit in the fitnesscenter
6. Something where you just mimic what the guy does in the video. P90X? Here are many free ones: http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/full-length-workouts/
Well. I kind of tried Nr 3. Of course it doesnt work good . Well, it needs more planning. It needs to be kind of continuous movement to keep the heart rate up and be just the right weight so I can still do 2 minutes continuous movement (this is about 40 reps) but also enough so it gets my heart rate up.
Lyle writes on http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/tra...rs-part-2.html about different types of intensities.
The lowest form of intensity in this article is:
Really extensive bodybuilding method:
pures sarcoplasm, with more focus on capillarization and mitochondries than on glycogen-depletion
1-2 sets
1-2 minuten constant movement, tempo 2/0/2
I am thinking about doing this as active regeneration at 70% heart rate - or is this nonsense.
It would be 10 exercises each 2 minutes.
I tried this today:
Each exercise continuous movement for 2 minutes,
tempo 2 / 0 / 2
Goal heart rate 70% (= 135 for me) kg reps comments
1 Quads squats free 0,00 50 0
2 hams deadlift free 0,00 40 0 next time faster to try for higher pulse?
3 back chin-ups machine 40,00 35 this is helping weight, the more weight = the easier
4 breast incline dumbbell flies 0
5 shoulder free dumbbell side laterals 0
6 bizeps free standing bizep curls
7 triceps rope pulldown
8 abs and lower back cable pull
9 hip thruster on floor
10 shoulder rotator
Reps are just counted out of interest.
Total training time was 26 Minutes.
(I did not really go for 2 / 0 / 2 strictly, eg with no weights at all it felt better to go fast to feel more)
Pulse was 110 maximum and 100-110 mostly. -> so that is a problem.
On the other by far the greatest reason for doing this
is helping my muscle building- making my off-days
better by doing active regeneration with this type of training.
So I am not in it to train my endurance but do something productive on my off-days. My goal is muscle building so what helps with that is good (Lyle said cardio is good for better recovery through better bloodflow in muscles, and that it is endurance-training, and that the ability of body to burn fat is preserved for cutting-phase later and perhaps improved Calorie Partitioning).
I will give this 10 exercises each 2minutes continuous movement another go.
Gonna have a more exact plan next time and go from exercise to exercise faster (also I planned a much better route where I have only to walk a few meters to the next station). And guess I will change the tempo to quicker to make it more taxing for the heart (I guess its also better for much bloodflow in this part of the body for this 2 minutes). A mobile app that shows next exercise and times would be good too I will try app Wrkout Hiit next time.
I also tried elliptical trainer (found it easy to hit 135 heart rate but is a bit more for legs) and rowing.
Rowing looks great! It seems to work like nearly all the muscles
there are. Legs push and pull, abs, back, upper body I even
changed the grip and did bizep curl on every repetition for a
while. And it seems to be hard to get to 135 heart rate here,
which is also good cause I feel my muscles.
Comments, ideas, experiences very welcome..
I promise this is the last old thread I will bump for a while
Adding a modest amount of cardio into my programming has been the best improvement to my training that I've made in a long time. I went a long time stuck in weight training + diet mode with no cardio, thinking the latter was useless. And truthfully, physique wise I did get pretty darn far.
I had a long layoff from weight training, but during that time I did make it a point to get some light training in-- simple bodyweight stuff, some walking, and moderate intensity cardio. The last several months I've been lifting weights again.
I've kept the walking, elliptical, and biking in (average of once a week per modality, maybe 30 minutes on the machines and longer on the walks) and the difference in how I recover on a set-to-set and workout-to-workout basis in the weight room is astounding. In the past I would huff and puff between sets, even with relatively low-moderate reps and 2-3 minutes rest per set. Obviously that still happens after hard sets, but it tends to start creeping in later in the workout and doesn't happen to the same extent. Even comparing very similar routines, my workouts are more productive and subjectively less difficult this time around.
This seems so obvious now that I type it up that it makes me wonder how I got it so wrong for such a long time.
Question: In the article there is mention of sipping the traditional Protein/Carb drink post workout....but I don't think it's specified...if doing, say 20-30 mins low to mod. cardio right after weight training....should you sip the Pro/CHO drink DURING cardio (but after weights), or immediately AFTER cardio and weights?
I've been doing the generic bulking program and have been doing some cardio as prescribed by the article in this thread with it. I've only been doing 2-4/week but I believe it's helping with all of the results mentioned.
Because i do feel it's valuable, I'm looking to put a little more stock into my cardio and hold myself to 4x week...20-30 mins. I'm going to try to do some cardio that involves upper body as well...probably try rowing, to try to enjoy some of the recovery benefits. I'll see if it's too taxing. Interested if the guy above ever had success with his "experiment".
The article does address that near the end: "Doing it afterwards has less potential to impact on the weight room session itself but, for those compulsive about post-workout nutrition, does delay eating. A reasonable compromise would be to drink your post-workout drink while doing your cardio after the workout."
I'm not sure if you were talking about me or the guy above me (I'm not reading that) but I really didn't have an experiment. What I wrote is true, maybe a bit overstated as I read it now, but I have definitely noticed a benefit to keeping some cardio in even as I approach some of my old numbers. It's hard to account for all the variables like different routines, different lifting styles etc. but my best judgement is that keeping in some cardio has been a major positive and well worth the time.
As for the nutritional aspect of it, I don't bring anything to the gym. Usually I just eat breakfast-lunch-dinner and I work out before lunch or occasionally before dinner. Due to the length of time between meals (~6 hours or so) I will usually add something small before a workout.. e.g. whey shake and a piece of fruit. Right now I'm doing a push-legs-pull program rotated over 4 days per week and I sometimes do cardio after one of the push or pull workouts (not after legs though) and then once or maybe twice a week I'll do some cardio on an off day.

Bad blood: Four feuding leaders
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid privately told fellow Democratic senators this week what he really thought of Speaker John Boehner.
"He's a coward," Reid angrily said, referring to Boehner's private push for federal health care contributions for lawmakers and their staff. Boehner later backed legislation to end those subsidies in order to win points with House GOP conservatives. "He's a coward!" Reid exclaimed.
Story Continued Below
Reid's outburst — confirmed by several sources attending a Senate Democratic policy luncheon on Tuesday — is the latest example of how the relationship between the nation's top political leaders is now brimming with acrimony, distrust and pettiness at a perilous time for the country's economy. The government shutdown — the first in 17 years — is in its fourth day with no end in sight. With the Treasury Department saying it might not be able to borrow money as of Oct. 17, the U.S. and global financial markets are already starting to fret about what would happen if the country defaults on its $16.7 trillion debt.
( PHOTOS: 18 times the government has shut down)
The bad blood is making it harder for the two sides to trust each other in the increasingly bitter fight to reopen the government and keep the nation fiscally solvent.
Boehner, Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) have more than a century of congressional service between them, as well as a string of legendary political and legislative wins and losses. Yet there are times when the "Big Four," as the party leaders are referred to on Capitol Hill, seem more like long-bickering members of a city council rather than the leaders of a great nation.
Not only has the Reid-Boehner relationship sunk to a new low, but so have the once-collegial ties between Reid and McConnell.
( PHOTOS: Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid's friendship)
Reid and Pelosi both think Boehner is more concerned about saving his own neck as speaker than doing the right thing for the country as he pushes proposals to defund or delay Obamacare, which almost certainly won't happen with President Barack Obama sitting in the White House. According to Reid, Boehner promised to pass a clean continuing resolution last month but has now refused to do so, leading to the shutdown.
McConnell and Boehner, for their part, are convinced Reid helped provoke a shutdown in order to help his party politically next year. McConnell has increasingly suspected that Reid and his closest confidants have breached Senate protocol by engaging directly in the Democratic effort to defeat him in 2014. But even House GOP leaders privately question whether McConnell is too distracted by his own 2014 reelection campaign to be a full player in the current government-funding fight.
( WATCH: Man on the street: Shutdown reactions)
For Republicans, the frustration with Reid is palpable.
Asked to respond to Reid's remarks calling the speaker a "coward," Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said: "We have to work together if we're going to get anything done, and all this bull—— — the name-calling, leaking private emails — just makes it harder to do the work the American people sent us here to do."
Perhaps the only two leaders who have a productive bipartisan relationship these days are McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden — but both men are taking a back-seat role in the current government funding fight.
( PHOTOS: John Boehner's life and career)
Indeed, that was evident at the White House meeting on Wednesday, sources said. Many in both parties believe that McConnell is unable to exert his influence because of his own reelection, but he strongly rejected those accusations at the closed-door session. And he won some support from Biden.
According to sources familiar with the matter, McConnell emphatically declared that his reelection campaign was not affecting how he was positioning himself in the shutdown fight. And McConnell pointedly disputed Reid's public prediction that he would lose his campaign, instead declaring he would emerge victorious.
( PHOTOS: Mitch McConnell's career)
The one man who agreed with him was Biden — a former senator who brokered deals with McConnell in the past, who responded to McConnell's outburst by saying that he hoped the Republican would be back next year, these sources said.
At the end of the session, McConnell walked out with Biden, as Boehner headed to the microphones to bash Democrats and Obama for refusing to negotiate.
But Reid dismissed suggestions Thursday that McConnell and Biden may need to take a larger role in the talks, as they did in the 2011 debt debate and the 2012 fiscal cliff fight.
"There's nothing to talk about," Reid told POLITICO. "All we want is the government open, [and to] take care of the debt ceiling. We'll talk about anything they want to talk about [after that]. I outlined everything. There isn't anything we won't talk about."

Marines may request more troops in Taliban country
DELARAM, Afghanistan — The U.S. Marines are considering requesting two battalions and a combat aviation unit in Taliban-controlled southern Afghanistan, which would be the largest proposed expansion of U.S. troops in the volatile region, two senior Marine commanders told McClatchy.
If approved, the move would involve roughly 3,000 Marines and support staff, and it would mark the Marines' shift from the once-restive Anbar province in Iraq to places such as Helmand and Farah provinces in southern Afghanistan, which U.S. and NATO officials concede that Taliban forces have overrun.
"The decision hasn't been made yet, but there are contingency plans along those lines," Gen. James T. Conway, the Marine Corps commandant, said Wednesday in an interview with McClatchy as he was touring the base in Delaram.
Most U.S. forces now are deployed in eastern Afghanistan, but Conway has pushed for Marines to tackle southern Afghanistan, where Taliban forces live and fight and where the opium poppy trade is thriving. Many Taliban forces train in neighboring Pakistan and travel through Helmand to Kandahar, the militant Islamic group's former hub.
Conway has been calling to shift troops from Iraq since last year, but Secretary of Defense Robert Gates initially opposed moving troops from Anbar. However, as violence has diminished in Iraq and increased in parts of Afghanistan, Conway's proposal has gained traction in the Pentagon.
The additional Marines would be one of the three brigades that Army Gen. David McKiernan, the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, has requested for the southern region. During a visit here last week, Adm. Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that he expected the military to meet McKiernan's request with as many as 30,000 more troops.
The Marines would send an Air Ground Task Force, which includes ground troops and air support. An Air Ground Task Force is serving here, but it has only one battalion, the 3rd Battalion of the 8th Marine Regiment from Camp Lejeune, N.C., with 2,000 troops and support staff. The proposal calls for two battalions. During his visit, Conway called the 3rd Battalion a "bridge force" to an expanded Marine presence.
The Pentagon hasn't received a formal request, and Conway said he didn't expect a decision until January. So far, the Pentagon has said that the 3rd Brigade of the Army's 10th Mountain Division from Fort Drum, N.Y., will go to Wardak and Logar provinces in eastern Afghanistan. In addition, an aviation unit from the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, N.C., will go to Afghanistan early next year to meet McKiernan's call for more troops and air support.
British forces have been serving in southern Afghanistan, but the Marines also began sending forces here earlier this year, first the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit from Camp Lejeune, then the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, based at Twenty Nine Palms, Calif.. Both units brought significant security improvements to parts of Helmand and Farah provinces, but often were stretched thin. They also lacked the air support needed to patrol parts of the rough terrain.
Security has improved in urban areas where Marines are present, but areas a few miles away remain under Taliban control, and commanders here said they didn't have enough coalition or Afghan troops to wrest control from the Taliban.
"I think it is a matter of time before we start going to places we haven't been before," Conway told the Marines.

Can You Make a Freudian Slip in Icing?
Because I think someone just dii-iid! [sing-song voice]
In addition to the surprisingly obscene well-wishing, this cake also suffers from a lack of grammar skills (it's a run-on sentence, and yet the "M" is capitalized - and why two periods?) and a hideous color scheme. I think those things in the corners are supposed to be rosebuds, so why are they grayish purple with blue squiggles? Some repressed feelings of inadequacy, perhaps? Hmm?

Greenwich Polo Club preps for royalty
Polo is often called "The Sport of Kings," so when dashing Prince Harry -- Britain's third in line for the throne -- asked to play a match at the Greenwich Polo Club, they decided to roll out the red carpet.
Members of the club are preparing for the "2013 Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup," to be held May 15, and all of the buzz that goes with it.
"Prince Harry has a fund-raising group and they came forward and asked Peter Brant if he'd host it and he said absolutely he would," said Leighton Jordan, manager of the polo club. "He's never been here before."
The prince will come to the club, established by Brant in 1982, two years before Harry was born, at the tail end of his tour of the states. In the spirit of the work of his late mother Princess Diana, his visit will be for a good cause.
Prince Harry co-founded the charity Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho to benefit the impoverished children of his small African country. Sentebale means "forget me not" in Sesotho, the language of the country, and was chosen so their mothers in the hope the children would not be forgotten.
During a news conference on the polo club's grounds in Conyers Farm, a gated enclave with its own security force Thursday, club co-founder Peter Orthwein said this event has the potential to benefit a great number of children who are less fortunate.
"We are thrilled to host the Sentebale Royal Salute Polo Cup here at Greenwich Polo Club and I can't wait to play against Prince Harry," Orthwein said.
The prince will lead the "Sentebale Land Rover Team," while Nacho Figueras will lead the "St. Regis Team," which will include Orthwein and Brant.
Orthwein is the CEO of Thor Industries and an avid polo player. He said he learned the game from his father, then played at Cornell University, and continues to enjoy the sport. When Brant asked him to start the club in 1981, he said he was eager to sign on.
"Greenwich Polo Club is such a wonderful asset for the community and it is the only high goal polo in the Northeast," he said.
Although the upcoming match is a private, invitation-only event, Orthwein said he hopes the excitement it generates gets people to want to see a live match. The regular season starts June 2 and each Sunday match played in June, July and September is open to the public.
Jordan, who has been managing the club for 32 years said he thinks the May 15 event will be a wonderful day of sport for a good cause. Past royal visits to the club range from a 1987 event featuring the Duke and Duchess of York, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, to an appearance last year by Torquhil Campbell, the Scottish Duke of Argyll.
Jordan said preparations are underway, with some horses back for the upcoming match and the summer season. They've also updated the grandstands, which were built in 1986 and designed by Jed Johnson, Alan Wanzeberg and Associates of New York.
"The grandstands won an award of design excellence by Greenwich Arts Council and we want to keep them looking in tip-top shape for the royal visit and for our upcoming season," Jordan said.
According to Jordan, 400 guests have been invited to the event and 200 members of the media are expected. There will also be a catered lunch for the guests, he said.
A spokesman for the Royal family said Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, have been playing polo since childhood and do many charitable events involving the sport. Prince Harry will be playing about a half dozen charitable matches this summer.
Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso founded Sentebale in 2006, when Harry was moved to help the children of Lesotho.
The tiny mountainous country's heavy rains and severe droughts have led to decreases in food production and thousands of children suffer anemia and stunted growth. The Duke of Argyll, the global ambassador for Royal Salute, said this is the third year the scotch distributor has partnered with Sentebale for their annual charity polo match. U.K. and Brazil hosted the previous games.
"I don't play polo, but I'm quite an admirer of it," the duke said.
The duke said Royal Salute has sponsored many of Prince Harry's charity events. He said they support this charity and hope to have a "great polo event."
Michael Carrazza, a player on the prince's team, was riding around Thursday on a horse. He said he's not sure who their two teammates will be.
Carrazza said he's never met Prince Harry and doesn't know how much time they'll get to spend together.
"I'm not sure that we'll practice together, but we'll have an opportunity at a minimum to have game strategy," he said.
Carrazza, who's been playing for about 12 years, said the sport is full of excitement, power and adrenaline. He said he has no expectations that he will get rattled by his royal teammate.
"The speed is frighteningly fast, so you don't have time to be nervous," he said.

BOSTON (Reuters) - Herbalife is still engaged in improper recruiting tactics and is likely violating multi-level market restrictions in China, activist hedge fund manager William Ackman wrote to his investors on Monday.
The billionaire investor on Monday told clients in a letter, seen by Reuters, that he would soon be releasing findings that his own investigation into the nutrition and weight loss company has turned up. So far, he said that he has shared those findings only with regulators.
"Our next presentation, among other issues, will include an analysis of the three principal sources of revenue growth for the company: Internet-based lead generation, nutrition clubs, and the company's China operation," Ackman wrote.
Herbalife prohibited "lead generation" methods to find new distributors at the end of June, butAckman said the practices, promoted by the company's top distributors, are still being used.
Herbalife spokeswoman Barbara Henderson said the company has no comment.
The battle over Herbalife as been one of Wall Street's enduring dramas this year as it pittedAckman against other prominent hedge fund managers including Carl Icahn, the company's biggest shareholder.
A year ago Ackman called the company a pyramid scheme, something the company has vehemently denied, and he predicted the share price would sink to zero when regulators shut the company down.
Ackman also said he was sticking by his $1 billion bet short selling Herbalife's stock which he made public a year ago and which has cost his $12 billion Pershing Square Capital Managementas much as $700 million in losses, people familiar with the fund have estimated.
Herbalife's stock price has surged 146 percent this year to $81.03, having gotten a sizable boost last week after accountants found no material change in the company's reaudited financial statements.
However, at the beginning of December, overall Ackman's fund Pershing Square was up roughly 10 percent for the year and Ackman did not provide updated performance numbers in the letter.
Pershing Square restructured the Herbalife bet in the last few months as the share price kept rising.
"We continue to believe that our Herbalife short position offers an extremely compelling, and, as now structured, even greater asymmetric payoff than before because of the stock price's substantial rise," he wrote.
Herbalife, Ackman wrote, has spent tens of millions of dollars to discredit his hedge fund, trying most recently to persuade Pershing Square investors to redeem from the fund.
Investment bank " Moelis & Company even offered to stop this campaign if we would agree to no longer push our regulatory agenda and to refrain from any further public statements," Ackmanwrote. But he said he thinks Herbalife and Moelis may have quit their campaign "as a result of media scrutiny."

OTTAWA -- Canada's senators burnt the midnight oil Thursday as they wrapped up debate on the Conservatives' controversial crime bill.
The Tories' majority in the upper chamber helped pass their legislation in the face of stiff opposition from Liberal senators, two independents and one Conservative member, who voted against his party.
In the end the vote, 48 in favour to 37 opposed, was closer than expected, with nine Conservatives missing the midnight event along with seven Liberals and one independent.
Bill C-10, which was amended by a Senate committee, will be returned to the Commons for a final vote next week.
Conservative Sen. Pierre Claude Nolin told his Senate colleagues earlier Thursday he would vote against his own government's bill because of its drug sentencing provisions.
Nolin said the war on drugs was responsible for dozens of deaths every day in places like Mexico, and that Canada will not escape the violence.
Legalizing drugs would weaken the drug cartels, Nolin said.
"These cartels are already active in Canada," he told the Senate. "These dangers are very much present. It is not a figment of the imagination. It is waiting for us. We do not have the homicide rates ... but it is something that may be waiting (for us)," he added.
Just like alcohol prohibition, the Tory Senator said, evidence shows that increasing the intensity of drug enforcement through mandatory minimum sentences and other legal sanctions will not reduce the crime and violence associated with the cannabis industry.
"Instead, these laws will serve only to further entrench control of the cannabis market in the hands of violent criminals and waste precious tax dollars," Nolin said.
Conservative Sen. Linda Frum, suggested, however, that the lucrative drug business in Canada needed to be stopped at the source through more punishment not less.
"Marijuana is undeniably the jet fuel that powers Canadian-based organized crime and allows it to finance other illicit activities not only in Canada but across the world," Frum said, citing witness testimony received at the Legal and Constitutional Affairs committee.
Frum, suggested that, as a mother, she was particularly concerned marijuana had widespread effects on the well-being of Canadians -- noting that it is linked to depression in youths.
"How many of you know that Canadian adolescents have the highest rates of cannabis consumption in the world?" she twice asked.
Independent Sen. Elaine McCoy said public opinion on drug use, notably marijuana, would change and was already changing.
"The war on drugs has failed, there is no doubt about it. Experience has shown that ... it is just like prohibition in the 1930s," she said. "We have created one of the most lucrative industries in the world, and it is called illegal drugs."
In the last hour of debate, many Liberals made passionate speeches against the bill -- but without a majority in the Senate, they had no chance of influencing the outcome.
Liberal Sen. Larry Campbell questioned the need for C-10, noting that the crime rate in Canada had not risen substantially over the last few years. "This legislation is not good for Canada," he said. "This bill is grounded in ideology and political bias."
It will waste government money, precious police resources and put pressure on an already strained court system, Campbell added. "And we do not have a real assessment from the Government on what exactly this bill will cost."
Liberal Sen. Art Eggleton took issue with the bill's mandatory minimum sentences saying if Canadians want to adopt "appropriate" penalties for offenders, judges are the ones to make those decisions.
Eggleton said Canada's system has served the country well for 140 years and that many U.S. states are repealing their mandatory minimum sentences for minor drug offences.
Former Conservative spokesman for the bill Sen. Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, who made headlines a few weeks ago for suggesting convicts should be given ropes with which to hang themselves in prison, said his office has been swamped with calls from Canadians "criticizing my rights to speech under the pretext that I am not elected."
Boisvenu complained the media has also ordered him to be silent.
"A society that does not recognize the equal rights of speech for all its citizen is called a dictatorship," he said.
Conservative Sen. Jean-Guy Dagenais, the Tories new point man on crime legislation, said C-10 represented a repositioning of the pendulum of justice -- something which Canadians have been demanding.
"C-10 is about introducing mandatory minimum sentences that will send a strong message to criminals telling them that there is a price to pay if they commit a crime in Canada," he said.
But Liberal Sen. Grant Mitchell, the last Liberal to speak, said the bill will not accomplish its stated goal.
"I notice that if the Conservatives say something over and over again you have to assume immediately that it is wrong ... The less likely it is to be true the more likely it is that they will hammer and try to make it true. The fact is it will create more victims, not fewer ones."

It's time for the Bay Area to prepare for a BART strike. More than half the 60-day cooling-off period has elapsed. It's hard to see how a deal will be reached before it ends.
The BART board has already offered more than it should have. It can't go further while meeting its responsibilities to keep sufficient numbers of trains running reliably. As it is, more tax increases are planned.
For their part, BART workers, who already receive great compensation, haven't budged. They continue to perseverate about side issues while maintaining absurd salary and benefit demands. Union leaders have ratcheted up expectations to such unrealistic levels that workers don't appreciate the sweet offer already on the table.
Train operators, for example, already place among the top paid in the nation. Employees contribute nothing toward their generous pensions. And health insurance costs most of them just $92 a month, no matter how many dependents they have.
BART is offering a 10 percent wage increase over four years while asking that workers contribute only minimally to their pensions and allowing them to keep the $92 health care deal. That's not enough for the unions.
If the board stands firm, as it should, and labor leaders continue their intransigence, workers will probably strike Oct. 11. There will be gridlock.
So, start making plans to carpool or, if possible, work from home. Plan to travel outside commute hours. Stock up on household supplies to avoid unnecessary trips. Schedule virtual conferences rather than meeting in person.
Finally, resist the temptation to blame BART directors. For your sake, they can't give anymore. Caving to absurd labor demands will only buy short-term peace at the expense of long-term financial insolvency.
It would be great if there were an easy way out. There isn't.
Some fantasize that state and federal money will once again provide a financial backstop. Those days of free-flowing funds are over. BART needs to put more of its own money toward capital costs, leaving less for salaries and benefits.
Some state lawmakers talk of banning transit worker strikes in exchange for binding arbitration. It's hard to imagine pro-labor legislators cutting collective bargaining rights, especially lawmakers from Southern California unaffected by a Bay Area strike threat.
Moreover, binding arbitration takes key financial decisions away from elected representatives and turns them over to unaccountable lawyers or retired judges.
It's the BART directors' responsibility to balance labor costs against billions of dollars of unmet capital needs. For too long, they have let politics trump financial reality. That must end, even if it means enduring a strike.

While many have framed the redesign to Apple's new operating system for iPhones and iPads, iOS 7, as a response to rhetoric that Apple's software has begun to look "stale," "boring," and "outdated," Instapaper founder and early Tumblr employee Marco Arment thinks that Apple had a different strategy in mind.
Rather than simply reinvigorating consumer excitement by giving them something new to look at, Arment thinks that Apple's big changes are meant to force developers to focus on the iOS platform for the next few months.
He compares it to the release of the iPad in 2010. Rather than figuring out how to bring their apps to Android, many iOS developers instead spent time looking at how to make their apps work on a tablet form-factor device.
As we've covered before, the changes that iOS 7 introduces will require more than a simple update. If developers don't want to look out of date, they're going to have to rethink how major aspects of how their apps work.
Arment thinks that this will have the greatest impact on developers of apps that are on both iPhone and Android devices:
"iOS 7 is also going to be a problem for cross-platform frameworks. Fewer assumptions can be made about the UI widgets and behaviors common to all major platforms. And any UI targeting the least common denominator will now look even more cheap and dated on iOS 7, since the new standard on the OS is so far from the old one."
He also predicts that developers who were planning big redesigns that would apply to both likely had to go back to the drawing board to figure out how to make their plans not look out of place with the new look coming to Apple's platform:
"[W]hatever app developers were planning to do this fall is probably on hold now, because everyone's going to be extremely busy updating and redesigning their apps for iOS 7. Anyone thinking about expanding into another platform now has a more pressing need to maintain marketshare on iOS."

Lady Hamilton tableware on display at the Oneida Community Mansion House
ONEIDA -- "The Design and Promotion of Lady Hamilton Tableware: 1932 -1954" opened on Feb. 19 at the Oneida Community Mansion House in a second floor exhibition gallery and will continue through the end of August.
Spanning the Depression, World War II, and the Eisenhower years, Lady Hamilton flatware was one of the longest-lasting patterns of Oneida's high-end silver plate, according to OCMH curator, Tony Wonderley. The show features a table-setting of silverware, plates, glassware and serving pieces belonging to the Lady Hamilton line.
The company had just begun to commission tableware products (Community China and Crystal) to accompany its flatware and some of the first examples -- in the Art Deco Deauville (1929) and Noblesse (1930) designs -- also are on display.
A quarter century of Oneida's industry-leading promotional work can be perused in seventeen full-page ads from Life, Saturday Evening Post, and Good Housekeeping. Among these eye-catching graphics is one of the most successful campaigns in American advertising history: Jon Whitcomb's war-time series, "Back home for keeps." Included is an original Whitcomb watercolor for a 1947 version of the ad, "Let's make it for keeps."
Visitors are invited to learn the story from text-and-image panels prepared by Don Cornue of Sherrill, to acquaint themselves with examples of Oneida silverware, and to view Oneida's earliest publicity film. Remarkable for its local scenery, this 1929 movie conveys the company's philosophy of silverware design.
The Oneida Community Mansion House is located at 170 Kenwood Ave., Oneida. For information, call 363-0745 or visit:

Obama: Romney Presented 'Salesmanship' Not 'Leadership' in Debate
(SAN FRANCISCO) -- A fiery President Obama ramped up his attacks against Mitt Romney's debate performance, telling supporters Monday night that what they saw from his opponent in Denver last week "wasn't leadership, that's salesmanship."
Speaking to 6,000 supporters at a fundraising concert in San Francisco, Obama blasted the GOP nominee for not telling the truth about his $5 trillion tax cut.
"Romney promised that his tax cuts would include the top one percent. He promised this. But most of the economists who crunched the numbers said Gov. Romney's plan would either blow up the deficit or raise taxes on the middle class. It's one or the other. That's how arithmetic works," Obama said.
"So a few weeks ago, you know, you could start seeing he was figuring out this isn't maybe selling that well. And then a few nights ago, somebody, a guy pretending to be Mitt Romney stood on a stage next to me and said he's changing his plan," the president said to laughter from the enthusiastic crowd.
"He's just going to pretend it doesn't exist. What $5 trillion tax cut? I don't know anything about a $5 trillion tax cut? Don't pay any attention to that tax cut behind the curtain?" Obama said mockingly. "During the debate, he said there is no economist who can say Mitt Romney's tax plan adds $5 trillion to the deficit, if I say I will not add to the deficit with my tax plan. Thanks for clearing that up. We'll take your word for it."
As he has in recent days, the president continued to ridicule Romney for saying he would cut funding for public broadcasting to help reduce the nation's deficit.
"You didn't know this, but for all you moms and kids out there, you should have confidence that finally, somebody is cracking down on Big Bird. Elmo has been seen in a white Suburban. He's driving for the border," Obama said in what appeared to be a reference to OJ Simpson's infamous white Bronco. "Oscar is hiding out in his trash can."
Obama, who has made fun of his own lackluster debate performance, explained that "after the debate, I had a bunch of folks come up to me, saying 'don't be so polite, don't be so nice.'"
"I want everybody to understand something. What was being presented wasn't leadership. That's salesmanship," he said of Romney. "That is not a jobs plan. That's not a plan to grow the economy, that's not change we can believe in. That's a relapse. We have been there. We have tried that. We are not going back. We are moving forward."

Kevin Harvick may have relinquished ownership in his NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team, but he hasn't lost any speed in the process.
Harvick crushed the rest of the field in Saturday's Kroger 250, winning in seemingly effortless fashion by .953 seconds over Richard Childress Racing teammate Ty Dillon.
A caution for David Reutimann's right-front tire on Lap 227 of 250 erased Harvick's 1.4-second lead at that point, but after a restart on Lap 245, Harvick's claim to the trademark grandfather clock trophy was a mere formality.
"Not a bad way to make our first truck start for RCR," Harvick radioed after he crossed the finish line. Harvick led 248 laps, a series record.
James Buescher finished third, followed by Justin Lofton and Timothy Peters. Nelson Piquet Jr., Ross Chastain, Jason Leffler, John King and Jason White completed the top 10.
From 2008 through 2011, Harvick started 25 Truck Series races, all in his own equipment, and won 11 times. At the end of the 2011 season, however, the desire to start a family took precedence over NASCAR ownership, and Harvick and wife DeLana sold their Truck and Nationwide Series assets.
Some of Harvick's truck equipment went to Eddie Sharp, some to Richard Childress.
Behind the wheel, it didn't matter one bit that Harvick was driving a No. 2 Chevrolet fielded by his Sprint Cup Series owner.
First, Harvick won the pole for his season debut. Then he won the race, notching the 14th NCWTS victory of his career and his third at Martinsville.
Harvick was so dominant that, shortly after a restart on lap 165, he asked his spotter to relay a message to Dillon's team. Harvick wanted Dillon to know that he was running at about 80 percent of his truck's potential. "Tell him not to burn his stuff up (trying to catch us)," Harvick said.
"It's been a long time since we've dominated like that and actually won," Harvick said after the race. "We made a lot of changes over the offseason, moving teams to RCR, and this is what we'd hope for—to make what was a good truck team a better truck team."
Harvick chose the outside lane on restarts to help ensure that Dillon, a rookie competing for the series championship, finished second.
"I knew we had a little bit better truck than what they had," Harvick said, "but I didn't want him to get hung on the outside. They're racing for a championship, and it's our job as the No. 2 team to go out there and help them and try to make sure they win the championship and we win races."
King, who lost a lap early and regained it with a free pass, retained the series lead by one point over Peters and Lofton.
Jeb Burton, son of former Daytona 500 winner Ward Burton, was involved in a multicar wreck on Lap 235 but recovered to finish 13th in his series debut.
