This is the plush piglet that recites "This Little Piggy" when you squeeze his pink hooves. Made by Gund, venerable purveyor of stuffed animals since 1898, the pint-sized animated porker moves his snout and recites the beloved rhyme in a child's voice when you squeeze one of his ticklish toes. At the climactic "all the way home," he goes hog-wild, kicking his legs and squealing with joy before entreating his friend to "play again, piggy please." The porcine playmate then launches into another stanza about the mode of transportation the little piggy took to the market, including a bike, car, and train, following each description with the matching bell, horn, or choo-choo sound. Ages 10 months and up. Includes three AA batteries. 10" H x 9" W x 9" D. (1 lb.)

Great intrinsic appeal

Our one year old took it out of the box, broke into a smile and wrapped his arms around it in a fit of pure ecstasy. It was a huge, instantaneous hit. He loves it.
He is cute!
By Katy J

Has a pretty soft voice and sound compared to other similar toys, so not as engaging for this child, but fun, none the less!

This gift is for a young girl. The joy she will receive form this gift will be wonderful. Her parents may not get the joy, but grandparents will have a lot of fun.
Childs Play
By Bear
from Weed, California
This pig was purchased for a child who owns two Teacup Pigs and has a Love for pigs that is beyond my understanding. The pig promptly brought a bid smile and belly laugh that cannot be measured for the fun it brings the person receiving the gift, and those within earshot of her. The hours and hours of fun I expect to be coming from the pig and the "young Lady" who received it cannot be measured in dollars spent. This gift is so much beyond the worth when compared to the money spent, that I suggest you just sit back, watch the ear to ear smile, and enjoy the laugh that starts way down in the belly. Oh, did I mention, the "young Lady" just turned 67! Thank you so much for the wonderful gift that touches so many.
Love it! Can't wait to give to grandson!
By grannyruth
from Salt Lake City, Utah
It's adorable!
Collin has a new friend !
By Grandma
from Gibsons, BC, Canada
A Christmas present to my grandson who is 8 months old. He has not let go of it since it was received. He will get many more months of enjoyment out of it as he learns the many features.
Made a hit with age 4 grandaughter!
By Nannie
from Texas
I haven't found a negative about it. My four year old grandaughter loves it, especially the second verse.

Thread: Official Divorce Agreement
Re: Official Divorce Agreement
And here's RC Sproul, another giant amongst fundamental pastors with a
former mega church and President and Chancelor of Dallas Theological Seminary
in Dallas who's a short birther and author of 60 books. Actually he switched from being a long birther like some of the scientists mentioned above. See why.
You can't call these dudes un-educated.
And finally from these:
Paul Steidl, an astronomer, has noted:
[N]o astronomers would ever think of the big bang as the creation event of Genesis. The big bang was invented specifically for the purpose of doing away with the creation event. An astronomer would laugh at the naivety of anyone who chose to equate the two events (1979, 197).
Evolutionist Paul Davies, in a discussion of the big bang, says that this theory of origins "differs greatly in detail from the biblical version." He then quotes Ernan McMullin of Notre Dame University:
What one cannot say is, first, that the Christian doctrine of creation "supports" the Big Bang model, or second, that the Big Bang model "supports" the doctrine of creation (1983, 17-20).
And I just came across that the great reformist John Calvin as well as St Augustine believed in the 24 hr 6-day creation of Genesis.
We are fundamentalists and believe in a literal interpretation of scripture and that it is
inerrant but Greg is right, many in the church do not. Just another of thousands of issues Christians argue over every day.

Re: Official Divorce AgreementI don't know. The Bible says God created the earth in 6 days and then there
was light
Scripture, please.
First off, it says 6 yoms, and once again, if Moses meant long period of time there was one and only one Hebrew available to him at that time, yom.
As for me and evoutionists, I guarantee I can go toe to toe with an evolutionist in a debate better than you or MacArthur.
Besides, anybody who gives more than a minute or two of thought to the ideaS can see these are two separate ideaS. The Big Bang is one, evolution another.
As for RC Sproul, I love the guy and watch him all of the time, but I have two fundamental differences with him. This and also he is a Calvinist, which just does not square with Romans 1:20. If Calvinism is true all non-believers have an excellent excuse in that they were not chosen by God to be given the gift of faith and thus are not responsible and should not be sent to hell.
That said, despite the differences I love the man and his dedication and teaching, and also would never call him a compromiser.
Re: Official Divorce Agreement
As someone on this board who is as staunch an anti-organized religion guy as any, there is nothing about the big bang that eliminates a creator. As a matter of fact, from a completely non-secular, philosophical point of view it even lends credence to the idea.
One philosophical proof of god is that this world is nothing but cause and effect relationships. Scientifically going back to the beginning(big bang) one gets to an effect without a known cause. The "original cause" almost HAS TO BE supernatural in nature as it preceded everything.
That one train of thought has converted me from agnostic to deist. I never completely denied the existance of a God, but now I am inclined to believe there is one.
What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of "humility." This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism. (Albert Einstein)

Re: Official Divorce Agreement
A lot of ministers change doctrinal positions over a career. Sproul is also a partial preterist who believes the tribulation already occurred and Nero was the anti-Christ.
He's my brother's hero and when everyone else is
listening to music on their iPod, he's listening to
RC Sproul.
Sproul also mentions Christ's geneology back to
Adam. Thats about 20 generations which fit nicely
into the short bith time frame. The gaps make it
impossible to fit that in.
If we take the genealogies that go back to Adam, however, and if we make allowances for certain gaps in them (which could certainly be there), it remains a big stretch from 4004 BC to 4.6 billion years ago. (pp. 121–122)
'A big stretch'! Yes, it would be a big stretch to take the genealogies back just 10,000 years, let alone one puny million. Even then we would be nowhere near 4.6 billion years. RC Sproul makes it clear from this statement that he believes in a young earth. (And there is a good biblical case that the genealogies are complete and without gaps.2)

Re: Official Divorce Agreement
And speaking of Adam, the Bible tells us that he was created on the sixth day. If he lived through day six and day seven, and then died when he was 930 years old, and if each of these days was a thousand or a million years, you have major problems! On the fourth day of creation (Genesis 1:14-19), we are given the comparison of day to night, and days to years. If the word "day" doesn't mean an ordinary day, then the comparison of day to night and day to years becomes meaningless.

Re: Official Divorce AgreementYour doing exactly what I said in my previous post, equivocating the word evolution. Taking natural selection(genotype+environment =phenotype) calling it evolution, and using examples of it as if it has explained the formation of organisms and the complex functions therein.
The thing about the fossil record and evolution is, it's not only a matter of lacking preserved transitional ancestors. The main problem is it has preserved the exact opposite of what evolution suggests. The fossil record displays periods of sudden extinction, followed by stasis in species.
Its alleged vision slowly evolved through an adaptive process, driven by necessity to survive and reproduce. Since macromutations are rejected by science, micromutions are believed to be the creators behind new functions. But what necessary advantage in progeny would 10% of an eye include while in the early stages? Afterall when you Consider the amount of neural uniformity required for sight, 10% of an eye would not equate to 10% vision.
Again, I don't. And again, natural selection does not account for the sequence of events that allegedly turned non-livig chemicals into self-replicating organisms which eventually lead to the human mind.
In the end I trust what fossil record we do have as well as the abundant anecdotal evidence for evolution vs. the idea that a "creator' with the ability to create life would be so horrendous at doing it that we would have disease, mutations, inefficiencies and so on. I am sure there is a biblical quote somewhere that explains his inadequacies as a creator

Re: Official Divorce Agreement
Re: Official Divorce Agreement
Well, I thought you meant the days in Genesis were like millions of years or so. You can fit the 20 generations in about 6.000 years
but not 30,000-50,000, I think.
According to the Book of Genesis, Abraham was born 292 years after the Flood. The Bible says Noah died 350 years after the Flood, so they both lived at the same time.
According to the Bible, Moses was the grandson of Kohath, who was alive at the time of the migration from Canaan and lived 133 years, while his son Amran lived 137 years. At the extremes of biological possibility, and assuming the patriarchs really lived to improbably great ages, Moses was born sometime between 15 years and 270 years after the arrival in Egypt and, living to the age of 120 years, died between 135 and 390 years after the arrival. On these calculations, Moses was born between about 1850 and 1600 BCE, and died between about 1730 and 1480 BCE.
Based on these genealogies, Moses was born between about 150 and 400 years after the death of Noah.
In between Abraham and Moses were Jacob and Joseph, all key players of that era, so yea, there was a lot of sexual activity going on by the time of the exodus and they carried Joseph's reamins to the promise land with them where they still are. That's what happens when the church doesn't pay for contraceptives-lol.
Jacob had at least, what 7 sons? After Cain and Able God told Adam and Eve to multiply the
earth and they took him literally having 33 sons and 23 daughters. When the outcasted
Cain married about 20 years after being thrown into the wilderness, the girl had to be his sister.
Adam lived 930 years so he saw the earth multiplied. Same as Noah.
God also told Noah to multiple the earth after the flood which his family did and he lived long like Adam
and saw the earth multiplied. Nimrod is a great grand son, I think. These people
literally and physically took God's command to heart. Hell, King Solomon had 500 wives and he
consumated everyone one of the marriages and you know his dad, King David was no slouch in
the horny dept with Bethsheba and many others.

I have taken some videos with my laptop's webcam and have wanted to send them to my family to see, however, when I try to attach them to the emails it tells me the file is too large to send, is there anything or anyway to get them attached to the emails?
Thank you!
Sending video as an e-mail attachment can be a problem, as most e-mail providers limit the size of attachments. Depending on your provider, the limit may be as small as 2 megabytes, so what do you do? The best solution I have found is to upload the video to YouTube [1] and use a little known feature of YouTube known as "privacy settings".
When you upload a video (you can even record directly from your webcam on YouTube) you will be presented with a screen to name your file and add a description and to the right is a drop down menu for privacy settings.
Privacy settings allow you to select if the video is public, unlisted or private. Once you make a selection and click save YouTube will set the video to the setting you've selected.
- Public can be seen by anyone and is searchable/viewable on your profile.
- Unlisted can only be seen by people who have a direct link to the video and will not appear in searches.
- Private is only viewable by people with a specific e-mail address or YouTube ID.
Once you upload, go to the video and you will see a web address next to Video URL. Type that address in to an e-mail and tell someone about what the video is, (along with your message) and click send. You won't need to worry about attachment size limits or long downloads for your friends, and they can view the video whenever they like by clicking on the link.
Try it out with the sample video I posted. Here is the direct URL (without it you wouldn't be able to view it!) http://youtu.be/zWvtYZJsnRY [2]

Diabetes - taking care of your feetDiabetes - foot care - self-care
Diabetes can damage the nerves and blood vessels in your feet. This damage can cause numbness and reduce feeling in your feet. As a result, your feet may not heal well if they are injured. If you get a blister, you may not notice, and it may get worse.
Check your feet every day. Inspect the top, sides, soles, heels, and between the toes. Look for:
- Dry and cracked skin
- Blisters or sores
- Bruises or cuts
- Redness, warmth, or tenderness
- Firm or hard spots
If you cannot see well, ask someone else to check your feet.
Call your doctor right way about any foot problems. Do not try to treat them yourself first. Even small sores or blisters can become big problems if infection develops or they do not heal.
Wash your feet every day with lukewarm water and mild soap. Strong soaps may damage the skin.
- Check the temperature of the water with your hands or elbow first.
- Gently dry your feet, especially between the toes.
- Use lotion, petroleum jelly, lanolin, or oil on dry skin. Do NOT put lotion between your toes.
Ask your health care provider to show you how to trim your toenails.
- Soak your feet in lukewarm water to soften the nail before trimming.
- Cut the nail straight across, because curved nails are more likely to become ingrown.
- Your foot doctor (podiatrist) can trim your nails if you are unable to.
Most people with diabetes should have corns or calluses treated by a foot doctor. If your doctor has given you permission to treat corns or calluses on your own:
- Gently use a pumice stone to remove corns and calluses after a shower or bath, when your skin is soft.
- Do NOT use medicated pads or try to shave or cut them away at home.
If you smoke, stop. Smoking decreases blood flow to your feet. Talk with your doctor or nurse if you need help quitting.
Do not use a heating pad or hot water bottle on your feet. Do not walk barefoot, especially on hot pavement or hot sandy beaches. Remove your shoes and socks during visits to your health care provider so that they can check your feet.
Shoes and Socks
Wear shoes at all times to protect your feet from injury. Before you put them on, always check the inside of your shoes for stones, nails, or rough areas that may hurt your feet.
Wear shoes that are comfortable and fit well when you buy them. Never buy shoes that are tight, hoping they will stretch as you wear them. You may not feel pressure from shoes that do not fit well. Blisters and sores can develop when your foot presses against your shoe.
Ask your doctor about special shoes that can give your feet more room. When you get new shoes, break them in slowly. Wear them 1 or 2 hours a day for the first 1 or 2 weeks.
Change your broken-in shoes after 5 hours during the day to change the pressure points on your feet. Do not wear flip-flop sandals or stockings with seams. Both can cause pressure points.
Wear clean, dry socks or non-binding panty hose every day. They will help protect your feet. Holes in socks or stockings can put damaging pressure on your toes.
You may want special socks with extra padding. Socks that move moisture away from your feet will keep your feet drier. In cold weather, wear warm socks, and do not stay out in the cold for very long. Wear clean, dry socks to bed if your feet are cold.

The most interesting aspects of my job are exchanging investment ideas with clients across the globe and discussing industry dynamics and company strategy with company management.
I work in the Global Investment Research division in Hong Kong. I am an equity research analyst covering Greater China oil/gas, alternative energy, and utilities. We seek to provide the best stock investment ideas and industry analytical framework in these sectors for our clients. The professional development of our team members is also a priority of mine.
The most interesting aspects of my job are exchanging investment ideas with clients across the globe and discussing industry dynamics and company strategy with company management. Site visits also offer first-hand knowledge about the businesses around us.
Team work is instrumental in the success of our research. Our multi-faceted profession involves both individual creativity and team collaboration. We work closely with other teams (e.g. Portfolio Strategy Research) to generate investment ideas and products.
We seek to continuously strengthen and expand our research footprint and product reputation. Providing timely investment ideas across the regions for our clients is a top priority. Internally, we also strive to foster career development of team members.
My key responsibilities include fundamental research, financial modelling, company visits, written and verbal communications with external clients (e.g. mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity) and internal clients (e.g. sales, trading). We also pride ourselves in our regular involvements in coaching, mentoring, and training activities.
The most rewarding part of my job is when our clients profit from our stock picks. We strive to become their trusted advisors – to be their first point of contact in our research coverage. The value of our research is most crystallized when we help clients turn ideas on paper into real investment gains.
On the flip side, the most challenging part of my job is when our investment thesis does not work out the way we expected. Then it is time to see what went against our analysis and hypothesis. The ability to learn from experience and maintain humility is critical to the success of a research analyst.
I came to Goldman Sachs through campus recruiting during my MBA program at Columbia University. I interviewed with most of the major investment banks. Eventually, I realized that Goldman Sachs was where I wanted to build my career. Throughout the interview process and summer internship in New York, I was especially drawn by the firm's focus on client service and insistence on team work.
After starting in the New York office, I have also worked in Beijing and Shanghai before relocating to Hong Kong. It has been a very rewarding experience to follow high-growth companies in a vibrant and emerging market. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to cover some of the largest and leading oil companies, alternative energy enterprises and utilities firms in the industry. Additionally, it has been a privilege to be part of the China research team which has seen phenomenal growth.
After college, I started my career in public accounting and consulting. That experience has helped me to switch into equity research. Over the years, I have worked in Chicago, New York, Beijing, and Shanghai. My wife (an architect) and I now live in Hong Kong.
To anyone considering a career in finance, I would say that it is a lot of fun and extremely rewarding. The exposure and learning curves are incredible. On the other hand, it is a very demanding career and requires hard work and steadfast commitment. I believe you need to have a passion for this business to succeed in the long term.
If you aspire to be a thought leader and enjoy sharing your views with a wide audience in the investment community, our Global Investment Research could offer you a global platform to achieve that and more.

Deputies shut down social media party
Early Friday, the Marion County Sheriff's Department got a tip about a party being planned for Friday night. It was being coordinated on Twitter using #ProjectNat.
Deputies posted warnings to the Twitter feed and tried to contact the organizer to warn about the potential problems.
At 9:30 p.m. deputies went to Packsaddle Park in rural Marion County and found the party. There was a large bon fire, alcoholic drinks and a large group of people.
The organizer was 19-year-old Nathaniel Gray, of Salem. He wouldn't cooperate with deputies and was arrested. Gray was charged with disorderly conduct, furnishing alcohol to a minor offensive littering and providing a place for minors to consume alcohol.
In addition to his criminal charges, the Gates Fire Department may seek penalties for its reimbursement from Gray for its response to extinguish the bonfire.

On November 13, 2012, Dr. Kenneth R. Bailey will present Scratch em and Sue em: Post Civil War Legal Issues at the Tuesday evening lecture in the Archives and History Library in the Culture Center in Charleston. The program will begin at 6:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Civil War legal issues consumed much of West Virginias court system for several years following the war. Using a PowerPoint program, Bailey will discuss legal cases at the Supreme Court dealing with Reconstruction Era issues of voting, false arrest, belligerent rights, acts of Confederate county officers, the value of Confederate money, etc., from the end of the war until rights were restored to former rebels. Former Confederates were scratched from the voting rolls and sued for alleged wrongs on civilians during the war. Pictures of individuals and documents will be used to illustrate topics covered.
Dr. Bailey is a graduate of West Virginia Institute of Technology (now WVU Tech), Marshall University, and The Ohio State University, from which he received a Ph.D. in 1976. He is retired Dean of the College of Business, Humanities and Sciences and Emeritus Professor of History and Geography at WVU Tech. Bailey is the author of Kanawha County Public Library: A History (2004), Alleged Evil Genius: The Life and Times of Judge James H. Ferguson (2006), Raising the Bar: A History of the West Virginia Bar Association (2007), and Mountaineers are Free: A History of the West Virginia National Guard (1979, revised and expanded 2008).
Due to the closure of the Archives and History Library on Tuesday, November 6, for the general election, the program is being held on the second Tuesday of the month.
On November 13, the library will close at 5 p.m. and reopen at 5:45 p.m. for participants only. For planning purposes, participants are encouraged to register for the lecture, but advance registration is not required to attend.

Boeing Slows 747 Production
The Boeing 747 may be flying off into the sunset.
Demand for the jumbo jet is falling as airlines make the change to smaller and more economical aircraft.
The 747 was launched more that 40 years ago and was about three times bigger than the largest airliner at the time.
It was powered by four huge engines and featured a wide body that helped revolutionize the airline industry.
New aircraft, including Boeing's own 777 and 787 Dreamliner have gone back to the two engine model, and Boeing says they're slowing down production of the 747 to 18 planes a year, down from 21.

Smoke-cooking is a healthy way to infuse flavor without the use of fats, salts or oils and that means no added calories either. This smoker allows you to hot-smoke food, a process that retains moisture and natural cooking flavors so foods don't dry out or get tough. It also doubles as a steamer, so you really get two great cookers in one product.
This Stovetop Smoker works great with all meat, seafood, and poultry dishes and it transforms ordinary vegetables into delicious main courses! Larger items like turkeys or hams can be smoked as well by simply making an aluminum foil tent to cover the item when you cook it, instead of using the Smoker lid. 5 quart.

(ARA) - Since the onset of the recession when many investment portfolios took a hit, there has been a lot of talk about the value of investing in gold as one way for investors to protect against market volatility and preserve wealth. Now, as policy makers both here and in Europe take steps to stimulate economic growth, there is a group of investors quietly adding gold to their own portfolios: the world's central banks.
As a legacy of the gold standard that backed many of the world's currencies prior to 1972, Western central banks such as the United States of America, Italy, France and Germany, hold large quantities of gold. In contrast, many of today's emerging economies including China, Russia, Mexico and India have until recently held little to none. While the 8,133 tonnes of gold held by the U.S. Government in Fort Knox (and other locations) no longer directly backs our currency, it has returned over 8 percent a year over the past 30 years for the long term wealth of the country.
For years, the Western central banks were net sellers of gold, to the tune of 400-500 tonnes per year, in large part because they saw the need to diversify away from gold. But that trend began to shift in the second half of 2009 as Western market central banks all but halted their gold sales while emerging market central banks increased the pace of adding gold to their monetary reserves. Globally, central banks bought 77 tonnes in 2010, and for all of 2011 bought an astonishing 456 tonnes of gold.
So what's caused this change in how central banks view gold? Analysts from the World Gold Council (www.gold.org) offer the following explanations for why the central banks are buying gold:
* Central banks are trending away from investing primarily in the U.S. dollar and the Euro. The recession in the U.S. and the debt crisis in Europe have caused banks to take pause when investing in assets from these countries. While the U.S. dollar will form a large portion of overall reserves for years to come, gold is being added by central banks around the world to diversify their asset base.
* As countries including China, India, Mexico and Russia get wealthier, they are increasingly focused on storing that wealth. Many are finding that an allocation to gold of between 2 and 10 percent provides protection against risk in their overall portfolio.
* Gold is one of the few assets that central banks are allowed to buy. Other assets include U.S. Treasuries, Euro bonds, and Japanese Yen. Unlike bonds, gold is one of the few universally accepted assets that central banks can own that has no credit risk, meaning, gold does not represent an IOU from another country, company or person.
* Gold is considered a hedge against the U.S. dollar. This makes it an attractive tool for central banks to protect against any further declines in the value of the U.S. dollar.
"The trend that we are seeing where global central banks are increasing their gold holdings reinforces the critical importance gold plays in an investment context. Gold serves a function no other investment asset can: it preserves capital, diversifies portfolios, and is highly liquid. These principals hold true for central banks as well as individual investors," says Ashish Bhatia, manager of government affairs at the World Gold Council.
According to the World Gold Council, central banks are on pace to purchase at least as much gold this year as they did in 2011. The increased investment in gold by these banks highlights gold's role as an asset that provides diversification and wealth preservation during uncertain economic times.

My younger son prefers my banana chocolate chip muffins, and I have to say those are pretty good. But both boys like zucchini muffins, and I get a perverse thrill out of making sweets with vegetables. I normally make zucchini muffins with wheat germ, but this time I decided to change it up and add the chocolate. No surprise - they prefer the chocolate version. Me too, to tell you the truth. My husband, a life-long zucchini hater, won't touch them, despite the hefty dose of chocolate. Oh well.
Two notes on ingredients: I recently discovered Florida Crystals organic natural sugar, and I'm hooked. I love the fact that it's grown and processed in the U.S., and it's got a delicious, complex flavor that, to my palate, really adds depth to my baked goods. (No affiliation, and no freebies, in case you were wondering.) Also, I prefer olive oil in this recipe. I think it works well with the chocolate. However, feel free to use canola, grapeseed or another more neutral vegetable oil if you think the olive overtones would bother you.
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups raw sugar, such as Florida Crystals
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup dark cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups zucchini, grated
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Hi Folks,
I have a linux box with 2 nics. I'd like to run Ettercap as MiTM to apply a filter to change HTTP traffic passing through. Besided HTTP traffic, loads of multicast UDP traffic (software distribution) is passing through, so Ettercap's performance is really slow. Too slow to make it work this way..
I've tried:
- creating my own bridge on the linux machine (using brctl). Ettercap can sniff the traffic on the bridge but not change it.
- apply a tcpdump-style filter to only let TCP (http) traffic run through ettercap. This does not work because ettercap needs IP's assigned to both nics, which is not the case when bridging..
Can anyone help me out how to do this? Maybe it is possible to seperate TCP from UDP traffic and only let TCP trafic run through ettercap and let UDP traffic pass through BR0(my brctl bridge). I don't know how to do this..

A. In most cases, Irish surnames are relatively common. Unless you have a really uncommon surname that comes from only one or two counties in Ireland, you 'll need to determine a specific place of origin in Ireland from US records before you go searching in Irish records.
Naturalization papers can be a good source for this information, depending on the time period and locality. Remember, you'll want to examine both the Declaration of Intention and the Petition for Naturalization. These two documents were usually filed years apart and could have been filed in different courts. They may contain significantly different information. Websites including Ancestry.com, Fold3.com and FamilySearch.org have collections of naturalization records or indexes for various places and years; also see our tips for finding ancestors' citizenship papers.
Records generated when the immigrant ancestor died also are good possibilities for finding a place of origin in Ireland: death certificates, cemetery registers, tombstones, church burial records, newspaper obituaries, funeral home records, funeral cards. It is also helpful to know the immigrant's parents' names, especially the mother's maiden name.
You should be tracing not only your grandfather, but also other
relatives who came over from Ireland, to see whether their records give
the county of origin. This includes siblings and other relatives
who may have settled in other countries abroad.
Family Tree University's Irish Research 101 course is designed to help you pinpoint your ancestor's place of birth in Ireland. The downloadable Independent Study version of the Irish Research 101 course is part of our Irish Genealogy Premium Collection, along with our Irish Genealogy Cheat Sheet, a video class on finding Irish Famine-era immigrants and other tools.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) has secured funding to design and implement improvements for bicycle operations on several streets in and around the Lloyd District area. The projects will particularly address the NE 12th Avenue Overcrossing of I-84, NE Holladay Street, and the connection of N Vancouver/NE Wheeler avenues from Broadway to the Rose Quarter.
Working with consultant Alta Planning + Design and their team, PBOT convened a Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) comprising companies, organizations and individuals from the project areas to provide input into these projects. The meetings of the SAC are open public meetings and guests are welcome. Meetings are typically from 8:30 to 10 AM on the third Thursday of each month. Meetings are held in the Lloyd District and venues are posted in the Upcoming Events section on this page.
A public open house was held Thursday, March 3, 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Calaroga Terrace. Materials from that event are available for download/viewing from the sidebar to the left.
Solve a transportation bottleneck to provide non-motorized access between NE/SE Portland and Lloyd District.
This overview board was prepared for the public open house March 3, 2011
View PDF versions of the boards that were shown at the public open house on March 3.
Provide comfortable and convenient non-motorized access to and through the Lloyd District, with a focus on the Rose Quarter, Convention Center, key businesses from the district, inner NE/SE and from North Portland.
This is the latest thinking on a three-lane concept for the 12th Ave Overcrossing as of June 16, 2011
These factsheets were prepared for the open house held March 3, 2011
Provide a safe, comfortable, and continuous bike facility on Vancouver and Wheeler avenues from north of Broadway to the Rose Quarter.
This 17-page report summarizes existing information about motor vehicle and bicycle traffic, motor vehicle parking, crash locations, and other pertinent information to the development of new bikeway projects in the Lloyd District.
This is the nearly final concept, recommended by the Stakeholder Advisory Committee with some additions.

Newmont Mining Corporation establishes Earth Resources Center at Colorado School of Mines
GOLDEN, Colo., Dec. 21, 2009 – Newmont Mining Corporation has committed $1.2 million to establish a new multidisciplinary center in the Mining Engineering Department at Colorado School of Mines focused on educating new professionals and developing innovative solutions to key challenges facing the mineral resource industry.
The company has committed to provide this support over the next three years. The Center for Innovation in Earth Resources Science & Engineering will also incorporate expertise from other departments, including geology and geological engineering, geophysics, and metallurgical engineering.
"We know Mines is up to speed with the technical challenges our industry faces," said Jay Layman, Newmont's vice president for discovery and development solutions and innovation, describing why the company chose to support the center at Mines. "Their expertise goes beyond the leading edge of innovation. It's an expertise we as a company seek to leverage to help achieve our vision to become the most valued and respected mining company through industry leading performance."
Mines President Bill Scoggins said, "Our expertise intersects directly with Newmont's core competencies, and we are grateful that the company has strengthened their longstanding partnership with us through this generous contribution. We are eager to leverage their support to create innovative solutions for the mineral resource industry."
"Newmont's support for CIERSE will enable us to establish the center and attract significant research funding while providing our graduate students with opportunities to work with faculty, researchers and corporate partners to meet the critical needs of the mineral resource industry," said M. Stephen Enders '76, research professor and CIERSE Director.
Newmont Mining Corporation has supported Colorado School of Mines since the late 1960s when the company began offering scholarships for Mines students. Since then, Newmont has continued its support for students and research, and has contributed to the university's experimental mine in Idaho Springs.
Founded in 1921 and publicly traded since 1925, Newmont (www.newmont.com) is one of the largest gold companies in the world. Headquartered in Colorado, the company has approximately 31,000 employees and contractors, with the majority working at core operations in the United States, Australia, Peru, Indonesia and Ghana. Newmont is the only gold company listed in the S&P 500 index and in 2007 became the first gold company selected to be part of the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. Newmont's industry leading performance is reflected through high standards in environmental management, health and safety for its employees and creating value and opportunity for host communities and shareholders.

Brevard, N.C. - Samantha Winn scored 16 points and pulled down five rebounds in the first half on Wednesday night. In the second half, Winn nearly matched it, scoring another 16 on her way to a career high 32 points in the game and just missed the double-double with nine rebounds, as she single-handedly carried the Tornados to the season sweep over North Greenville, 82-62.
Winn, with her 32 points, and Holli Flippo with 13, going 3-5 from behind the arc, were the only Tornados (6-16, 0-11 SAC) to score in double figures in the contest. Winn went 10-20 (50 percent) from the field, and 12-15 (80 percent) from the charity stripe as she recorded the first 30 point game of her career. Brevard as a whole shot 75.0 percent (21-28) from the free throw line and forced 27 NGU turnovers, compared to only 16 of their own.
The Crusaders (12-13) were led by Christina Carlis with 13 points and Amanda Milner with 11 points, eight rebounds. Karly Stache, the talented freshman for North Greenville who scored 24 points the first time these teams met back on January 24th, was smothered by the Tornados defensive pressure, shooting only 30 percent (3-10) from the field and 1-4 from behind the arc.
North Greenville started off the game up 11-5 as the Crusaders came out running behind Carlis and Nikki Wood. The duo combined to score the first nine points for North Greenville, before the Tornados came storming back. Amanda Whitaker converted a pair from the line, and then Winn put in a jumper and a layup to tie the game up at 11 with 15:50 left in the first half.
Three-pointers by Lindsay Brendle and Kelly Hudler sandwiched another Winn layup before a free throw by North Greenville's Whitney Smith ended the 14-4 Tornados run at the 12:16 mark with Brevard ahead, 19-16.
The game was tied back up at 22 with 9:54 remaining in the opening period when Stache hit a three-pointer. However, the Tornados used back-to-back shots from behind the arc by Flippo to go up by six with 7:28 left on the clock.
The Crusaders tied the game back up at 36 when Karly Stache hit a pair of free throws, but Flippo added a free throw and Winn put in four more points, including a baseline to baseline fast-break layup with 17 seconds left on the clock to go up by five. A jumper in the lane by Carlis at the buzzer brought the game back within three as the teams went into the locker room.
Carlis started off the second half with a three pointer on North Greenville's opening possession and Milner added a pair of layups to put the Crusaders up by four, 1:48 into period, before Samantha Winn took over the game.
Winn put in a pair of layups to tie the game up, as the Tornados went on a 15-1 run highlighted by Hudler's second three-pointer of the game, and Flippo stealing the ball from Carlis, driving the length of the court and putting in the layup and additional foul shot as Brevard went up 56-46 with 12:11 left in the game.
A jumper by North Greenville's Mindy Greenstone with 7:50 left in the game brought the Crusaders back within eight, but that was the closest the Tornados would allow, as Brevard went on a 20-8 run to close out the game with their sixth victory of the season, 82-62.
The Tornados jump back into SAC play on Saturday, February 14th, as they make the trip to Wingate, N.C. for a rematch against the Wingate Bulldogs. The Tornados fell at home to Wingate on January 17th, 94-88, as the Bulldogs made a 20-2 run late in the game to come back for the victory. Tipoff for the BC-Wingate game is set for 2:00 p.m. North Greenville returns home to Tigerville, S.C. to host Knoxville College, also on Saturday, at 2 p.m.
