Many Irish family history researchers become frustrated when they cannot find the county and/or townland of origin of their ancestors. I begin my Irish Basics lecture by telling the audience that Irish research can be very frustrating--you should see the wave of nodding heads! Many people approach me afterwards and recite a long list of records and archives they have checked to no avail. I ask them one question: "With whom have you spoken lately?" Did they contact every conceivable relative? Have they tried to find living relatives who might know something that their own branch does not? Don't forget that the Irish have a ancient ORAL tradition, not a written one. Celtic history, even Celtic Brehon law--was passed down through the ages by bards who sang their memorized information. I think this reliance on the spoken word throughout the ages accounts for why so much information about Irish families tends to be "family lore" as opposed to family records. So my message to frustrated researchers today: Get over to your great uncle's house, get on that phone to gramma, email those third cousins. Find those living relatives: use networking sites, bug relatives for addresses and contacts, conduct internet searches.
Here are the ways some of the people who attend my Irish Research classes have found their county and/or townland of origin:
1. family stories
2. obituaries
3. old letters
4. a scrap of paper kept by a distant cousin who was discovered via the internet
5. hints in a poem written by an ancestor
6. tombstone
7. an apprentice's Indenture found among a relative's papers
8. by going into a pub and attending a festival in Ireland and announcing they were looking for their ancestors
These people were not lucky--they were diligent in contacting people. Maybe there is a place for Irish luck in genealogy research....BUT, to play the lottery you must first buy that ticket! You cannot win at slots unless you drop a coin first! So, don't complain until you have exhausted your "people contacts." You will find it is more fun to research by talk anyway--you can't share a Guinness with a census page!

I wanted more!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would to anyone interested in history, Michael Brant Shermer is a really interesting professor, he knows his stuff and puts across interesting arguments
What was one of the most memorable moments of War?
the world war two and american civil war parts was the best, I feel he went into slavery too much
Which character – as performed by the narrator – was your favourite?
not that type of book please produce better questions
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
once again missing the point
Any additional comments?
Yes i would say that the worst thing about this is theres times when he gets figures wrong or estimates them but 9/10 he is correct and his arguments are sound, I really there was more of this course on here

these lectures were very informative and concise on the wars and uprising/revolutions from 1700+ and a lot of interesting points were raised. however the lectures didn't end with any sort of summary, it ended with inaudible questions and discussion from the class and no clear answers from dr shermer, a definite anti climax.
the main points and messages are repeated throughout the lectures so there's no shortage or meaning it's just that nothing feels outlined and i can't see any definitive rules to be taken away other than "wars are waged to raise taxes not taxes are raised to wage wars".
i do feel a lot smarter after absorbing these but i'm glad i didn't pay £50 for them and got them with a credit

It's not an audio book
This program is a recording of a lecture series so you should be aware of this before you make the purchase. Don't expect it to flow like a book.
My main concern before deciding to purchase this program was whether he might have made some errors or misquotes since he does not have the benefit of an editor to review the written transcript. But after listening I got the impression that the professor gave an accurate picture of the subject. He was able to make it clear when he was unsure of a specific detail or unsure of the exact wording of a quote. I came away with a better understanding of the subject.
I enjoyed listening to the real-time lecture. In addition to the written material I got to hear and assess the personality of the speaker while delivering his own material. I heard how he responded to the occasional comment or question from his students. This livened up the recording.
I also heard what he thought was funny or ironic. Several times throughout the program the professor would break into a short laugh at something that was not exactly funny. It took me a few times to get used to this as being one of his quirks. For example when he was discussing how the 'kill rate' of the atomic bomb was 54% he said, 'So, 54% was good news if you are a weapons maker [short laugh] bad news if you're on the other end [another laugh].' This comes up often enough that I thought it would be worth mentioning - not to discourage a would be listener but rather to give a heads up as to what can be expected.
Also, there were a couple of classes towards the end of the program where the recording was a bit fuzzy. I was still able to understand it well enough but I can imagine someone getting upset at the inconsistencies of the sound quality.
It's not like an audio book. But hearing how much the lecturer is into the subject he is teaching it made it a worthwhile listen for me.

Not helpful
Shermer's lectures were not well recorded (could not hear either him or the questioners at times). His lectures give details of history (which I love) but did not weave them into a wider fabric of meaning (which is what he states he is doing at the outset of the course). I'll not buy another book like this again (set of lectures).

More mistakes and than true facts
I purchase this book for the idea of the title. Although the theme was great, I got really annoyed with the misquotes that the author had throughout the lecture. He has to check his facts and how he used them. Because of this problem, it is not the worth the time to listen to it.

*Spoilers below for The Dark Knight Rises*
With Christopher Nolan's last Batman film out in theaters with The Dark Knight Rises, fans are certainly wondering what the "fourth" or next Batman film will be.
While it definitely will not feature Nolan and Christian Bale, the Batman actor recently discussed the next chapter with MTV.
Bale was asked his thoughts on another actor - or Joseph Gordon-Levitt - donning the Bat suit.
"I'm very intrigued to see another interpretation of it at this point," Bale told MTV.
Bale continued, giving props to Adam West.
"There have been many wonderful ones. Adam West did it fantastically, spoofing it. I'm sincere. He really did," Bale said.
Bale then went on to note how Nolan's films returned to "the dark" much like how original Batman creator Bob Kane intended, and stated he would be very interested in seeing what comes next.
"So it would be very interesting to see what someone else does with the character. I'd be the first one there to watch," Bale said.
MTV then asks Bale about the fact that he said Robin would never be in the movie, with Bale laughing and responding, "I was talking out of turn somewhat, regardless of what my wishes would have been. It was not my choice and never was. Well, we can't give away too much."
The Dark Knight Rises opens in theaters July 20th, 2012 and is directed by Christopher Nolan starring Christian Bale as Batman, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Michael Cain as Alfred, Juno Temple and Josh Pence as a young Ra's al Ghul.

Posey leads 19-hit attack in Giants' 13-2 win over Brewers
The postseason is filled with teams who share a similar story: They got hot at the right time.
The Giants, bereft of success and joy for so much of the summer, finally seem to be on the verge of the run they need to conduct if they want to return to the postseason.
They registered bright red on the heat chart Friday night in the opener of a three-game series against a division leader. They pounded 15-game winner Wily Peralta for six runs in three innings, then administered a bigger pounding to reliever Marco Estrada in a 13-2 beatdown of the Brewers.
The Giants have a four-game winning streak - modest, to be sure, but their longest since the five-game run that ended their season-opening 42-21 bonanza. The Giants also have won seven of their past 10 and nine of 13.
Buster Posey went 5-for-5 with a triple and three RBIs and the Giants reached their season high in runs, capped by a five-run fifth inning that included Gregor Blanco's second homer in two games and triples by Angel Pagan and Posey.
Posey's sixth-inning single completed his second career five-hit game, his first in a nine-inning game. The other went 16 innings.
Joe Panik enjoyed his second four-hit game. Pagan and Hunter Pence had three hits apiece. Pence and Blanco combined for six RBIs.
Ryan Vogelsong, who got zero runs of support in his past five games at AT&T Park, finally must have felt like a European prince on Christmas morning as he won his first home start in three months on a night when the Giants had 19 hits - their most at AT&T Park since 2001.
Vogelsong held the Brewers to two runs in seven innings, started a two-run second inning with a single after dodging a fastball toward his head and won at home for the first time since May 24.
Taking nothing for granted, Vogelsong struck out the side in the seventh to end his night.
The Giants had built a three-game winning streak against a Rockies team with the worst record in the league, then had to defend it against a Brewers team with the third-best mark.
On paper they faced a larger challenge Friday in Peralta, who had held the Giants to one run in each of his past two starts against them.
Peralta was not a problem. The Giants jumped him for three runs in the first, two in the second and one in the third.
Singles by Panik and Posey started the first-inning rally, and a wild pitch gave the Giants a 1-0 lead. Singles by Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence each produced a run, too.
The bottom of the second began with Vogelsong diving away from a 2-2 fastball, then fouling off three full-count pitches before driving a single into the right-field corner.
Pagan's double and Posey's second hit scored Vogelsong. Pagan scored with two outs for a 5-1 lead when Pence's second hit deflected off Peralta's glove away from any infielder.
Peralta's third inning was his last. He yielded a final run on Pagan's two-out single, which forced the right-hander to pay for his leadoff walk of Blanco. He threw 80 pitches.
Blanco's third walk in four innings, courtesy of Estrada, came with the bases loaded in the fourth and extended the Giants' lead to 7-1. A Brandon Crawford groundout made it 8-1.

In one of the most significant rollbacks of airline rules since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, federal officials said they will allow passengers to carry small knives, golf clubs, hockey sticks and pool cues into the cabins of commercial jets.
The policy change, which will take effect April 25, was immediately criticized by flight attendants and passenger rights groups, who say the move will create an unnecessary risk and further crowd already limited space in overhead bins.
"While we agree that a passenger wielding a small knife or swinging a golf club or hockey stick poses less of a threat to the pilot locked in the cockpit, these are real threats to passengers and flight attendants in the passenger cabin," said Stacy K. Martin, president of Southwest Airlines' flight attendants union, TWU Local 556.

The closest good beach is about 30 km away at

For a more urban-party beach experience head to
MO exclusive Equestrian Ring TexturedLeather Belt Maison Vaincourt imKlc4d1g
where you can find everything beach-party addicts dream about; Endless rows of beachside bars, restaurants and discothèques and a boulevard along a splendid fine-sand beach. It can get very crowded here. Take the train to Den Haag Centraal Station and Tram 9 subsequently.
The main shopping areas in the center are the 51.919993 4.477304 Lijnbaan and the 51.920675 4.484503 Hoogstraat . Both are pedestrianised. The Lijnbaan , which runs straight south from the Weena (close to Rotterdam Centraal ) was the first pedestrianised shopping street in the world when it was built in 1953. Now it is more of an average shopping street with average shops. In weekends it's very crowded. Linking the Lijnbaan with the Hoogstraat is the 51.920066 4.480523 Beurstraverse , dubbed Koopgoot (Buying-gutter). A subterrainean passage, also connecting to Beurs metro station. It's all rather big and somewhat strange for a Dutch city, but it fits perfectly into the Rotterdam aspiration of being different. If you're looking for it, ask for the Koopgoot , as the official name is little known.
The Beurstraverse gives direct access to the city's main department stores:
There are about 12 larger and smaller markets dotted around Rotterdam. Most of them are enjoyable places to walk through.
51.920126 4.486789 Markthal , Ds. Jan Scharpstraat 298 ( Binnenrotte, Metro: Blaak ). Market stands: M-Sa 10:00-20:00, Su 12:00-18:00; Albert Heijn: M-Sa 08:00-21:00, Su 10:00-20:00; Bars and restaurants: 10:00-00:00 . Opened in 2014 by a Dutch princess (who else!), It is a quite remarkable building which is worth a visit per se . It more like a hybrid between a market and a shopping centre. Besides the large market hall, there are also residential, office sections, retail sections. Last but not least the Markthal houses a wide variety of bars, food stalls and restaurants. Enjoy meals or bites from mediterean or asian origin or try the famous Rotterdam fries of Bram Ladage. ( updated Sep 2017 )

Today's is pass-driven. Quarterbacks and pass-catchers have become the offensive stars, while defensive backs and pass-rushers have become the most in-demand players on the other side of the ball.
The ground game still has an important place in modern football, but it doesn't look like it once did. Though young running backs such as Ezekiel Elliott, Leonard Fournette and
Red and black belt Prada 7WiezRrxYh
have recently brought back the concept of the dominant rusher, every-down backs are few and far between.
Most teams employ a committee, each back with his own specialization. During the course of a game, we'll see bruising early-down rushers, pass-catching backs, blocking specialists and even the occasional fullback.
The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, for example, used six different running backs during the regular season. Three of them rushed for at least 300 yards, but only one, LeGarrette Blount, logged more than 100 carries.
Because of the style of the modern game, we're going to rank the projected backfields of 2018 rather than individuals. We'll look at each team, its projected depth chart and the role each back can play this season.
Starter: Marlon Mack
Depth: Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Robert Turbin
Fullback: N/A
The Indianapolis Colts have a lot riding on Hines and Wilkins (2018 fourth- and fifth-round picks, respectively). If the pair can't make immediate contributions, the team could have the worst backfield we've seen in some time.
Last year's was bad enough. It ranked 22nd in yards per game (103.8) and averaged just 3.7 yards per carry. Only four teams averaged fewer yards per carry. No one running back reached 4.0 yards per tote, and Gore, the starter in 2017, left in free agency.
Mack should head into camp as the starter, but he averaged just 3.8 yards per carry last season and led all returning backs with a mere 21 receptions. The Colts should hope either Hines or Wilkins is able to unseat him.
Hines has the kind of speed (4.38-second 40-yard dash) to be a difference-maker as a change-of-pace back. However, he is undersized (5'8", 198 lbs). Wilkins has more traditional size (6'1", 216 lbs) but doesn't possess the skill set of a future starter. Robert Turbin is an experienced but often unproductive 28-year-old veteran who should round out the depth chart.
On September 29, 2010, Widespread keyboardist Jojo Herman announced that the band would be going on hiatus in 2012. In an interview with the Vanderbilt Hustler, Herman explained, "Next year will be our 25th anniversary. After that, we're probably going to call it (quits) for awhile. So we're looking forward to next year and going out on a high note." [27]
The band went on to tour steadily throughout 2011, ending the year with their first show at

in Charlotte, NC. In early 2012, the band played a limited number of shows. From January to February the band embarked on their first ever tour billed as completely acoustic.

The rest of 2012 saw the band on hiatus but band members were active with other projects.

On August 17, the band announced their first scheduled shows after hiatus, including two nights in Charlotte, NC and a 4 night run in the Dominican Republic.
Between the two short legs that made up the 2012 Wood Tour, the band played a four night run in Mexico, marking their first shows in the country, and beginning what would become an annual tradition called Panic en la Playa. The first Panic En La Playa was held on the beach at the Now Sapphire Resort in Puerto Morelos, Mexico in 2012. For 2013 and 2014, The concert was held at the Hard Rock Hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, with the 2014 shows pushed back until March 17–20.
The band returned to regular touring in the spring of 2013 with a run of Mid-West and Southern shows beginning in April. During these shows, the band introduced new innovations in the audio broadcast of their live performance. Previously, Panic had allowed tapers to use audience recording devices to simulcast live shows to fans via the internet. The first live taper stream was at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, AZ on 11/04/2009 by Coloartist and was continued by all the WP tapers through the Spring 2013 tour when the band took over streaming duties and started broadcasting live

If you've visited the park recently, you may have noticed black lozenge-shaped marks on and around the High Line. The marks are called "blps" and they are part of one of our latest HIGH LINE COMMISSIONS, an installation by acclaimed artist Richard Artschwager.
The work is the first collaboration between High Line Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, which is building its downtown location next to the High Line's southern terminus. You can find 9 blps installed in various locations through Sunday, February 3, 2013, in conjunction with the artist's retrospective Richard Artschwager! at the museum.
Follow us after the jump to learn more and watch.
Artschwager began creating blps – a word coined by the artist and pronounced "blips" – in the late 1960s to bring attention to overlooked spaces. Demonstrating the power of simplicity, blps can be black or white and range in size, but Artschwager has always retained the iconic lozenge shape.
He has used the blps throughout his career to create an opportunity for the "useless looking." In a video about the artist, Whitney Curator Jennifer Gross talks about the artist's intention. "The blp really was the conceptual high note in terms of making something that was nothing more than a signal for you to see other things," she says.
WATCH THE VIDEO to learn more about the evolution of the blp.
For decades blps have appeared in the United States and across Europe on subways, building facades, and galleries. The blps on and around the High Line draw attention to unique architecture while highlighting overlooked vistas that make up the park's character.
See if you can find the blps as you stroll along the park. Download our free, printable art map for locations.
Don't forget to share your photos of the High Line's blps on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #blps.

This has been tested and works well on a ARM9 Linkstation Live. Should work on others. SABnzbd+ is a NZB-based usenet "leech" client which also PAR checks and un-archives the files you have downloaded.
There are 2 options:
Stock firmware/jtymod
ipkg update ipkg upgrade ipkg install python py24-cheetah py24-cherrypy py24-elementtree py24-celementtree py24-yenc par2cmdline unrar unzip
This installs Python and all the dependencies needed including UnRar, PAR checking and YEnc decoder.
Download SABnzbd from http://www.sabnzbd.org/download/ but make sure you download the "sources" version as that includes the actual python scrips we need for NAS box. Unarchive wherever you want (but I will continue with an example). This can be done within Windows or Linux and I unarchived to
Running for 1st Time
cd /mnt/disk1/shared/sabnzbd SABnzbd.py -f SABnzbd.ini -d
The -d runs it in daemon mode which I cannot see any reason why you would not want!
You might want to make a script to do this, else you'll be having to do this every time you restart your Linkstation
You'll need to configure SABnzbd which is easiest done using the web interface which you can access via
Edit the config to include your Usenet providers server and your own choices as to whether to enable PAR or RAR checking.
Remember, the Linkstation is a NAS box not a high spec PC so don't be too greedy on the number of connections as it might actually make it go slower. For example, I can happily max out a 4Mbit line with 4 connections. Try different numbers and see how you get on.

Cognitive Expert Systems and Machine Learning: Artificial Intelligence Research at the University of Connecticut
In order for next-generation expert systems to demonstrate the performance, robustness, flexibility, and learning ability of human experts, they will have to be based on cognitive models of expert human reasoning and learning. We call such next-generation systems cognitive expert systems. Research at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the University of Connecticut is directed toward understanding the principles underlying cognitive expert systems and developing computer programs embodying those principles. The Causal Model Acquisition System (CMACS) learns causal models of physical mechanisms by understanding real-world natural language explanations of those mechanisms. The going Concern Expert ( GCX) uses business and environmental knowledge to assess whether a company will remain in business for at least the following year. The Business Information System (BIS) acquires business and environmental knowledge from in-depth reading of real-world news stories. These systems are based on theories of expert human reasoning and learning, and thus represent steps toward next-generation cognitive expert systems.

One of the most interesting features of bats is their incredible sense of direction. This ability of the bats was discovered by scientists through a series of experiments.
Every creature in this world has its unique features. All of these features have a special purpose in the body of these creatures And also make the lives of these creatures easier for them, and thus are very important.
Among all of the animals, bats have a special hearing ability. And many new features of these creatures were also discovered according to new experiments.
In one of the experiments which the scientists made, a bat was in a dark room. After that a fly was placed into the other side of the room, and the movements of the bat were followed by a night vision camera. With the first movements of the fly, the bat goes directly for the fly and begins to hunt it. With this experiment it was recognized that bats have a very special and advanced sensory ability. But where does this great sensory ability come from? Does it come from the hearing ability or from a special kind of night vision system?
In order to find out the answers to these questions, scientists conducted another experiment. This time a caterpillar was placed into the room, and it was covered with a piece of paper. Without a moment's hesitation, the bat went to the caterpillar, went under the paper and ate the caterpillar. This result shows that the sense of direction of the bat has no relation to its eyesight.
Scientist continued their experiments with bats: a bat was placed on one side of a long hallway and a group of butterflies were placed on the other side. Before this however, walls that divided the hall vertically were built; after that, holes only a bat could pass through were built into every wall. Each of the holes was in the different parts of the hall. In other words, in order for a bat to be able to pass through these walls, it has to do almost a "slalom" race.
When the bat was close to the first wall, it went directly to the hole, and passed through this hole easily. The same behavior was observed in the remaining walls; the bat did not need to look for the hole in the wall, but rather went through it directly. After passing the last wall, the bat ate the butterfly.
In order to further examine the magnificent sensory ability of bats, scientists decided to conduct another experiment about the subject. This time they decided to define the margins of the sensory ability of the bats better. Again a long tunnel was built, and through the tunnel 0.6 millimeter steel cables hung from the ceiling at random. The bat successfully passed through the steel cables, without crashing into any of them, and arrived at the other side of the tunnel. This flight of the bat shows that it can detect the 0.6 mm cables from a distance. The other experiments that were conducted, showed that the great sensory ability of bats is based on a special sonar system. (www.hayvanlaralemi.net)
Bats emit high frequency sound waves in order to sense the objects around them. These sound waves, which humans cannot hear, are sensed by the bat and so the animal creates a kind of map of the area that it is in. In other words, bats can sense even the tiniest fly in the air, with the help of sound waves that hits the fly, and then comes back to the bat. Bats can find their way with the sonar system by calculating how long it takes for the sound wave to return to them.
According to the Doppler principle, frequency of a sound wave that hits an object changes. Bats calculate the return time of the sound waves according to this law. Most religions see this as a gift of Allah; and according to the Islamic religion, Allah created bats in this way. In the Qu'ran, Allah says:
"Of course there are signs for you in animals, too." (Surat an-Nahl, 66))

Each day, students complete a warm-up that usually consists of spiraling the previous day's material, in addition to older material. Warm-up problems also sometimes extend lessons that students have encountered before to more unfamiliar contexts.
For a video narrative about how I structure each lesson, and how the warm-up fits in, click here.

Play of the Day
Resources (3)
For the huddle in this lesson, I ask kids to come up with multiple ways to demonstrate compound transformations, and it's really cool the kinds of things they come up with.
See the student samples for some ideas.
I push kids also to be VERY precise about their explanations... how much of a translation? In which direction? Reflection over what line, exactly? This is really, really important.

Jim has a cooler dog (though I couldn't find a pic of George so quickly, here at least the brand hahahah)
I like how Jim's license plate is 3SXY003, even his car knows he's sexy!! LOL
~*~J.T. Carrey~*~
"I was sitting back in my chair thinking 'this can't be about urine'" - Jim talking about the musical Urinetown
LOL! I was thinking the same thing. his dogs are cute. It looks like George is barking because the brown dog is being picked up. weird. Dogs do that though. If you pick up a dog while another dog is around, they start barking. I don't know why. . . werid.
now if only dogs could talk and type on computers.
Jim as R.J. beats Jim's dogs? Ok I'm stretching..
Jim's too sexy for his car
Even dogs are jealous of other dogs getting the attention taken away. It's an Alpha Male thang...
oh ok! thanks for explaining that carreyd away! Jim would probably fall over if he tried to pick up George though. lol. Great Danes are huge!
I remember chasing after my dogs when they escaped.
All of us running after the dogs, 1 parent 4 kids.
It must have looked pretty funny.
My dogs were the greatest escape artists.
lol, JT! lol. yeah George was saying "oh come on you wuss! you can jump down from that car. Dad doesn't have to pick you up and put you down! you should have asked me to help you. I'll teach you how to jump down from there. How does it feel when he touches the bottom of your butt like that? I'd be yelping 'Harrassment! Harrassment!' I wish someone would tell male owners that me and other male dogs don't swing that way!"
any other ideas on what George was saying to Hazel?
George is saying, "Quit being such a bitch and just jump in the car!"
I had to drive to LA this weekend, I took the coast and got caught in the middle of a pack of cars that were speeding. I had a Mercedes so close to me I thought they were going to ram me or I would have to get a "car-ectomy" I was finally able to pull to the slower lane to let the jerk go by but he didn't really get a chance to pass me. When I looked over to give the guy the "stink eye" I saw it was Jim and Jane! He gave me kind of a "sorry" shrug and I just cracked up. I gave him the finger and laughed, they both cracked up and sped ahead. They turned left on Sunset and I went on to Santa Monica. True story!

Hey guys, Joey Fatone here wuddup. Just got the new JT album a day early (LOL I had a hook up, but that's just part of the perk of being famous… haha no bigs). Its ok - DEFINITELY NO 'NO STRINGS ATTACHED' but what is lol? But I wanted to give you my thoughts even tho i obviously have some biases because me and 'Timbo' (that's what we used to call him) are best friends forever. JT if your reading this, give me a call (on my cell) to talk more about it. Would love some of that classic JT/JF back and forth!
Pusher Love Girl
This is a hot track to open an album for sure. But I kind of wanted it "go there" a little more you know. Thats something i used to tell Timbo back in '98 and its something i tell my Singing Bee contestants and then we all become best friends because everyone loves my advice lol
Suit and Tie
This is my jam right now! The combo of the Jay and 'J' (that's what me and Chris Kirkpatrick ("Kirk") called him when we were in a hurry (less syllables u know and sometimes we were in a hurry because the choreography takes a lot of time)) is unstoppable! Could have used another J tho, if you know what i mean
Don't Hold The Wall
Just to clarify that J i was talking about is me. My name is Joey and starts with a J. These are the types of things me and "J-Blake" talked about one time on set while we shot the video for "I Want You Back" which in my opinion (and critics opinion ;) haha) is the greatest pop song of the 90s and probably ever hahah
Strawberry Bublegum
JK about that being the best song. This is the best song ever!!!!. "TimberJay" (last year i left him a voicemail that called him that, it was supes funny tho he didn't call back but it's not like he ever has to. it's kind of like how your lover is the only one you can be mean to because they see all sides of you you know?) u did it again!
Tunnel Vision
Spaceship Coupe
Everything okay J? You need me to help u out? These last couple songs were not as fun as others :(
If you want to talk about it and dance thats cool lmk
That girl
For the sake of clarity i want everyone to know the 'J' i referenced in my review of "Spaceship Coupe" was referring to Justin Timberlake, the pop singer and former 'N Sync performer. Not Joey Fatone, the talended host of a variety of television programs who has a lot on his plate because he is a star of the multimedia and probably doesn't even have time for phone calls.
Let the Groove Get in
oh snap we're back! Justin i knew you had it in you!!!!!!!! Call me to talk about it you're still in my T-Mobile Fave 5 our calls are free
For the clarification and clarity, i called Justin "Justin" during my review of "Let the Groove In" because sometimes you have to be serious and b real, u kno? That's the sort of thing adults like me and J-Rock (that's what I call Timbo when he's rocking out) talk about when we're being serious. Its not all fun games and dancing with us, but that's part of being best friends forever. u know each other inside and out.
Anyway, this song's aight. a little long lol
Blue Ocean Floor
Yo Justcallme (hahaha that's what we called him when he wouldn't call any of us back) call me plz i miss u. i'm also still on myspace and i saw that your on it too. you gotta check out my new wallpaper !!!!!
Final Thoughts:
Overall this album gets a solid B- from Joey Fatone. it is a very good record but when you've been around talent your whole life like i have as a celebrity you have higher standards, u kno? Thats not a comment on J* as much as it is a comment on the life of J**. Keep trying J***!!!!!!!!!
*J = Justin
** J = Joey Fatone, temporary guest host of "The Price is Right" and "Family Feud"
*** J = Justin again

Nokia adds Orb for go-anywhere TV
But for one phone only
Nokia is bundling Orb's "MyCasting" client onto one of its smartphones, giving punters the chance to access their own TV subscriptions and music libraries on the go.
Today's announcement is for one phone, and one market only - the N80 Internet Edition Wi-Fi/3G slider phone soon to be launched in the USA - but the deal is sure to be closely watched by the wider industry. Vodafone launched an Orb trial deal in Germany this summer under the name "MeinFlo".
This year has seen plenty of hype about TV on mobile devices. Verizon's VCast and Sprint's Sprint TV offer clips and content in a range of subscription deals.
Vendors are pushing TV operators to adopt DVB-H and MediaFlo, a digital broadcast system optimised for mobile devices.
But why bother when you can simply use the cable subscription, and the channels it includes, that you already pay for? Orb requires a TV tuner card and a small run-time client on a Windows PC: that's enough to unlock music and photo collections, and streaming radio and TV broadcasts, for use on another PC or mobile device. Users can also remotely record TV shows and play them back later.
Widespread adoption of Orb would make operators' investments in high bandwidth multimedia services such as DVB-H fairly pointless.
We reviewed the N80 here and previewed the Internet Edition, here. ®

Doug Delivers: A sensational spring it was
The spring season and the school year as a whole are now complete. Before shutting the book on the season, let's take a look back at some of the top performances from Staples High.
Most outstanding team: Boys volleyball
After falling short in both the FCIAC and state tournaments in 2012 despite a perfect regular season, Staples entered this year with a newfound determination. The Wreckers weren't going to fall short this year, no way, no how.
Following a season-opening loss to Southington, an eventual state semifinalist, all the Wreckers did was reel off 21 straight wins -- 18 of them sweeps -- and captured both conference and L state crowns.
In the state final against top-seeded Glastonbury, the Wreckers dropped the first game 26-24, before taking the next three, 25-17, 25-13, 25-23. Having returned to the state's mountaintop for the first time since 2009, the Wreckers savored the moment.
"We've been in states a couple times ... but we were never able to close it. This is such a big thing for us," junior middle hitter Lucas Grevers said after the final.
With powerful hitters at the net in senior Lucas Carstens and Grevers, along with an assist-machine in senior setter Harry Hlawitschka, Staples was a nightmare for opponents to account for. The Wreckers had too many finishers and were far too efficient -- unforced errors were a rare occurrence -- for other teams to counter.
In a conference that's generally regarded as one of the state's strongest, Staples was in a league of its own talent-wise. The Wreckers beat perennial power Ridgefield three times -- once in the FCIAC final and state semifinal -- and also dispatched of other contenders: Fairfield co-op, Greenwich, Darien.
A program that's established itself as one of the best in the sport, Staples has now won eight titles in the state and 11 in conference. This season's team only strengthened the program's legacy.
Most outstanding male athlete: Henry Wynne, outdoor track
I didn't waste much time considering Wynne for the same honor in both the fall and winter seasons. This time was no different.
Wynne again was at another level, breaking records and staking a popular claim as Staples' best-ever runner. The senior cemented his illustrious season -- and high school career, for that matter -- at the New Balance Nationals on June 16, cruising to first place in the mile in 4:07.84. If not for the gusty winds that swept through Greensboro, N.C. during the race, his time might've been even faster.
A champion at all levels -- FCIAC, LL state, State Open, New Englands, Nationals -- Wynne had a motor that never sputtered.
"He's the best we've ever had at the distances that he's running," longtime Staples coach Laddie Lawrence said.
Most outstanding female athlete: Hannah DeBalsi, outdoor track
Much like Wynne, there's a good reason why this isn't the first time I've selected DeBalsi for a top award. Despite being just a freshman, DeBalsi established herself as one of the premier athletes in her sport.
DeBalsi won the two-mile race at New Englands on June 8 (10:10.26) and then again in the Nationals last Saturday, shattering records in the process. She set both the girls state two-mile mark (10:41.79) and national freshman two-mile mark (10:19.0).
Top newcomer: Faith Garcia, girls golf
I generally hand out this award to freshmen only. But while Garcia was a junior in the literal sense, she was new to the school -- and to the league, in some ways.
After spending her first two years at Trinity Catholic, settling into the lineup for the Crusaders' boys team -- they're one of just 10 FCIAC schools with no girls golf team -- she established herself at the No. 1 spot for the Wreckers.
Garcia averaged a 3-over par during the season and finished sixth (11-over 85) at the state championships. She led the Wreckers to runner-up finishes in both the conference and state meets.
She capped the season with a 10th-place finish at the New England Championships on Monday at Bretwood in Keene, N.H., carding a 6-over 78.
Best coaching performance: Paul McNulty, boys lacrosse
Both McNulty and his players talked all season about hanging tough with the FCIAC's premier programs, the likes of Darien, New Canaan and Ridgefield. This year, the Wreckers did that -- and then some.
After knocking off New Canaan for the first time during the regular season, the Wreckers played their best late. The No. 3 seed in the L state tournament, the Wreckers made it all the way to the finals, letting a second-half lead slip away in a 14-8 defeat to No. 4 Fairfield Prep.
Staples wasn't always the most explosive team during the season, but it sure found ways to win. The Wreckers (16-5) took a significant leap forward.
Best game: Staples boys lacrosse 8, New Canaan 7, double overtime, April 20
All game, neither FCIAC contender pulled away. The Rams, a perfect 5-0 entering the day, held onto a one-goal lead entering the fourth quarter. But the Wreckers, resilient as ever, tied it with 18 seconds left on a goal by Colin Bannon to force overtime. After a scoreless first extra session, Will Johnson gave the Wreckers a milestone victory -- their first-ever against the Rams -- by scoring with 3:04 left in double overtime.
"It was unbelievable to win," Johnson said afterward.
Best quote: "I was very excited. Just like the fact that everybody played so well, I am on cloud nine right now." -- Melissa Beretta, Staples girls tennis player following her team's 4-3 win over New Canaan on April 4.
Staples had struggled over the years against New Canaan -- the defending L state champion and FCIAC runner-up -- but the Wreckers reversed that trend in their lone matchup in 2013. Showing balance at both the singles and doubles spots, the Wreckers bested one of the state's elite.

SAVANNAH, Ga. — A hurricane watch was issued for part of North Carolina's coast early Wednesday as Tropical Storm Arthur moved northward, threatening Fourth of July plans along the East Coast.
The hurricane watch in North Carolina covers an area from Bogue Inlet to Oregon Inlet, including Pamlico Sound. A tropical storm watch was in effect for parts of Florida and South Carolina.
The storm's maximum sustained winds early Wednesday were near 60 mph (95 kph). The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Arthur was expected to strengthen and become a hurricane by Thursday.
With the July Fourth weekend on the horizon, the Atlantic hurricane season's first named storm plodded off Florida's coast but wasn't yet spooking too many in the storm's potential path.
"I think everybody's keeping one eye on the weather and one eye on the events this weekend," said Joe Marinelli, president of Visit Savannah, the city's tourism bureau.
Arthur was centered about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Cape Canaveral, Florida, early Wednesday and was moving north near 6 mph (9 kph). The Hurricane Center urged those as far north as parts of Virginia to monitor Tropical Storm Arthur's path.
Off Florida's Space Coast beaches — the closest to Arthur — the sky was cloudy and winds fairly normal Tuesday, said Eisen Witcher, assistant chief of Brevard County Ocean Rescue.
Red flags warned of rough surf, and beachgoers were advised to get into the water only in areas with staffed lifeguard stands. But overall, Witcher said, "it's business as usual."
Red flags also flew Tuesday at Daytona Beach. By midday, a dozen swimmers had been aided by lifeguards when they got caught in a rip current. On any given day, 15 to 20 swimmers need help, said Tammy Marris, spokeswoman for the Volusia County Beach Patrol.

text: Still Shopping December 7, 2013 06:34 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email As of early November, nearly 60% of farmers have yet to buy seed for 2014 A late harvest leads to lots of lingering decisions, particularly with timing of input purchases. In an early November Farm Journal Pulse, more than 1,400 farmers answered the question: What percent of your 2014 seed needs have you booked or purchased? Slightly more than 40% of respondents had not booked or purchased any of their seed, while 24% had all of their seed needs purchased. The situation is much different than fall 2012 when the Farm Journal Pulse polled farmers with the question: When do you plan to purchase seed corn hybrids for your 2013 crop? Results from 1,400 votes showed the majority of seed purchases happened prior to the first of the year. Here are the full results on when farmers said they planned to purchase corn seed last year for the 2013 crop: September: 17% October: 22% November: 25% December: 22% January: 7% February: 8% While the 2012 Farm Journal Pulse only addressed corn seed, it suggests that farmers are a little more gun-shy about purchasing seed this year. Add your vote. To join this farmer panel and make your voice heard, go to www.FarmJournalPulse.com or text "Pulse" to 46786. Farm Journal, in partnership with Commodity Update, will text you two quick poll questions per month. Text back your response, and the results are tallied and displayed in an interactive map by the next day. If you have suggestions for poll questions, e-mail them to email@example.com.

SETTING: Inside brick house belonging to Pig number 3. This play can be performed in English or Ubbi Dubbi. Use the Ubbi Dubbi Translator to translate it.
(Narrator in the foreground has a large book in front of her titled "UbbiDubbi Fairy Tales".)
Narrator:Welcome to another edition of Ubbi Dubbi Fairy Tales. In our last episode the big, bad Wolf huffed and puffed and blew down the house of straw. Then the big bad Wolf huffed and puffed and blew down the house of sticks. What will happen next?
(We find our Three Little Pigs sitting around a table politely sipping on tea and playing "Go Fish" with a deck of cards. The Wolf is waiting outside the door of the house.)
(Wolf rhythmically knocks on the door.)
Who is it?
Wolf:It's me! The Big Bad Wolf!!!
Oh no!
(Pig number 1 and Pig number 2 throw their cards in the air and hide under the table.)
Little Pigs! Little Pigs! Let me in!
Pigs:Not by the hairs of our chinny chin chins!
Wolf:(Even more angrily.)
Then I'll huff...
...and I'll puff...
...and I'll blow your house in!
(Wolf blows with all his might while the Pigs continue to act fearful, but nothing happens to their house.)
Wolf:(Less angry.)
Let me try that one more time.
(The Pigs recognize that their house did not get blown down, they giggle, go back to sitting in their chairs and start to drink their tea. Wolf looks frustrated and sad.)
Wolf:But I'm alone. All alone!
(Wolf cries loudly.)
And I have no friends!
Pigs:No friends?
Wolf:No friends!
Pigs:Piggy Huddle!
(Pigs huddle as they decide on a plan. In agreement they walk to the door and open it while the Wolf cries.)
Pigs:(Pigs throw their arms out to the Wolf and shout...)
Pigs:(Assertively and with a group hug.)
(Pigs escort the Wolf into their house. Pigs sit Wolf down and pour him tea and take out a big bucket marked "Slop" on it.)
Wolf:Why, yes!
(Pigs put a napkin around Wolf's neck and serve him.)
Narrator:And so the Big Bad Wolf finally found new friends.
Pigs:More slop?
Wolf:Thanks, friends!
Narrator:Stay tuned soon for another edition of Ubbi Dubbi Fairy Tales.

We know there's more behind the story but towards the general public, Lamars media performances did more wrong than right to Elvis reputation.

UK based online fashion store Fallen Hero recently launched a new responsive website and has experienced a 143% rise in revenue on tablets alone.
We humble lot at Econsultancy have been trumpeting responsive design as the key way for ecommerce to capture the fast increasing mobile and tablet owning market for a while now, and many brands are reaping the rewards already.
Let's take a deeper look at one of the newest additions to the responsive design club, and then see if the rest of the stats back up our claims.
Here's how the original Fallen Hero website looked on a desktop:
It's not terrible, but with way more text than necessary for an ecommerce store's homepage and images that provide only a tiny glimpse of the products on offer, this already feels like a cramped and ill-thought out site, way before you've even begun to look at it on a mobile.
Here's how the new responsive site looks on a desktop:
There's a huge carousel with large images, clear category tabs at the top of the page with a shopping basket and the unique feature of showing a running total.
Three important delivery features are highlighted below the logo: free next day delivery, free UK returns and click & collect. Then just above the fold you can also see direct links to the most popular clothing options.
Here's how the desktop shrinks to fit mobile:
The category tabs eventually collapse down to a single menu button, the shopping basket remains and the carousel is still large and clear. Across the bottom are social buttons and an email subscription service.
One of the positives that the mobile version has over the desktop is that on the desktop the social buttons and email sign-up are hidden on the very bottom right hand corner, below the fold. With a simple bit of repositioning Fallen Hero could easily increase its followers and subscribers throughout its various channels.
Finding products is a simple 'menu' tap away, revealing options for brands, categories, featured sales and a search button.
Fallen Hero isn't going to win any awards for vibrant design with this menu, but the matter-of-fact greyness perhaps appeals to the gentlemen most likely to browse here.
Improvements could certainly be made to the search function though. It's difficult to find and fiddly to use. For the input field there are no options provided as you type, which means you have to spell the whole word, and correctly too as it doesn't forgive you for misspelling.
A search box featured directly on the homepage is integral, especially for mobile customers who are more likely to be either rushing to find something or in a location where it's difficult to input text, so this is a bit of an oversight. The large carousel image on the homescreen may look great, but I wonder if the space could be used to better effect.
Product listings
Hey it's Christmas, let's buy a cardigan.
This is a well-designed product page. Just two large images per row, with nearly four cardigans displayed per page. The menu and shopping basket total remains at the top of the screen at all times.
The individual product page itself shows the cardigan in a larger detailed image, and provides you with multiple views by swiping across the screen.
Scrolling down reveals clear options for size and a great feature for changing the product's colour that shows you alternatives in tappable thumbnails.
Also note the bright call-to-action button, and the slightly more boring information is hidden in easily accessible, collapsible menus.
Shopping basket/checkout
The shopping basket has clear delivery charges, important as many shopping baskets are abandoned when shipping fees are hidden as a nasty surprise at the end. There's also a button to change the default next-day delivery option.
The shopping basket also coveniently occupies the same page as the checkout. By scrolling down you're immediately presented with method of payment.
Here there's a PayPal option that provides added convenience and speed for the shopper.
It's a shame that the 'Order Line' option isn't a click-to-call button. You'd have to copy and paste the number in order to make a call.
After this, there are large input fields to type your name, address and card details, and that's it. Email subscription is also an opt-out function during checkout.
The shopping basket and checkout service is one of the quickest I've experienced.
Fallen Hero could do with asking for a password once the transaction has been verified though. This way the user's details could be stored with their permission and it will encourage those customers to purchase from Fallen Hero again, as the experience will be substantially quicker next time.
Minor gripes aside, the website has only been active for less than two weeks, and things like this can be ironed out reasonably quickly. In fact, the site redesign is showing signs of great success…
Since the responsive redesign, Fallen Hero has experienced the following uplift:
- Overall site visits increased 7%.
- Page views up 37%.
- Visit duration up 36%.
For mobile, things are looking strong:
- Visits up 7%.
- Page views up 16%.
- Visit duration up 21%.
For tablet, the increase is even more pronounced:
- Visits up 14%.
- Page views up 61%.
- Visit duration up 64%.
New visits to mobile have also increased by a huge 76%. So what accounts for this? The team at Fallen Hero suggest it's down to "better search positions in mobile and tablet search markets".
Fallen Hero has also strengthened its relevancy across the board, as there's now only one site used across all devices rather than having a separate mobile site on a subdomain, which Fallen Hero claims "leads to a weakened domain authority".
Is this increase in traffic leading to higher conversions?
- Overall, conversions are up 18%.
- On mobile conversion is down 13%, but this is due to the rise in mobile visits. Mobile revenue is up 22%, and the average order value is up 31%.
It's on tablets however that Fallen Hero is showing the biggest gains:
- Conversion is up 32%.
- Transactions are up 50%.
- Average order value is up 62%.
- Revenue is up 143%.
This is solid proof that there's a huge untapped market of tablet users out there, desperate for ecommerce sites to offer responsive design and improve their shopping experience on the always-connected device sat next to them at home.

Great review, it's a lovely looking site, they've gotten so much right with it. I like the sticky navigation, it's something we plan to test next year when we re-launch our site using responsive design next year.
We've actually relaunched our outlet site, http://www.branch309.co.uk/ responsively this week, which is part of our journey to responsive. We've already seen some good conversion gains, although it's too early to share them.
Fallen Hero seem to have considered performance in their design, which is heartening, it's certainly something that we thought carefully about. Our new site is about 15% faster than the old site, hopefully we see some real commercial benefit from it.
With people going online using different screen sizes, it makes a lot of sense to consider responsive designs as a way to better experience for visitors.
A few months back we decided to go responsive( www.ncmborz.com) and I have seen increase in page visits and time on page. It was a good move.
Great post Christopher. I like to way you make it absolutely clear how responsive web development can bring changes to visitor engagement by including changes in important metrics.
Great review...the responsive design version looks quite good and intuitive. As there is much low content comparing to a desktop site...the content manager was forces to create simple but clear expressions that capture the customers attention. Not sure about the stats ...as for me 143% of rise is more a dream :) !!!!

Under the terms of the MOU, the university intends to host a 1,200-square-foot office facility that will provide SMMs with collaborative access to software, hardware and training associated with digital manufacturing and modeling, simulation and visualization technology.
The facility is scheduled to open in LTU's General Services Building at 21301 Civic Center Drive in Southfield during the first quarter of 2014.
NCMS and LTU have already begun to work together to address the needs of SMMs who are missing out on the benefits of digital manufacturing tools – specifically advanced modeling, simulation and analysis using high-performance computing systems.
NCMS and LTU have agreed to work together to assist SMMs in adoption and integration of software and hardware tools and resources so that they can become more globally competitive.
"Lawrence Tech is an excellent partner and collaborator," Jarman said. "LTU is more than just a visionary leader in educating highly skilled and sought-after engineers, scientists, and designers; it is a beacon of opportunity in Michigan, reinforcing the conviction that manufacturing is crucial to competitiveness, and that economic opportunities are made, not found. … This collaboration will truly help Michigan SMMs become more competitive on a national and global scale."
"NCMS is a leader in collaborative industry and university partnerships and consortiums. Their inclusive approach is a great fit for LTU and advances LTU's theory and practice model of education and focus on applied research." Moudgil said. "As a nation, we suffered a great deal when we shifted away from manufacturing. Now, we have an opportunity to make manufacturing strong once more by helping the small and midsized companies that are the backbone of the U.S. economy."
Outreach initiatives to SMMs are planned through collaborative arrangements with the Michigan Manufacturers Association, the Small Business Association of Michigan, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Michigan Aerospace Association of Michigan.
The NCMS-LTU partnership serves as a catalyst for collaborative workforce development initiatives and academic programs tailored to address industry needs and will increase industry accessibility to top talent for internships, co-ops, research projects, and new hires.
About NCMS:
The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences, the largest cross-industry collaborative research-and-development consortium in North America, is dedicated to driving innovation in commercial, defense, robotics and environmentally sustainable manufacturing. NCMS has more than 25 years of experience in the formation and management of complex, multi-partner collaborative R&D programs, and is backed by corporate members representing virtually every manufacturing sector.

Valparaiso head coach Homer Drew announced today that redshirt junior guard Brandon Wood (Kokomo, Ind./Kokomo [Highland C.C./Southern Illinois]), who will receive his bachelor's degree from Valparaiso University at May's commencement ceremony, will transfer to Michigan State to complete his collegiate eligibility.
"We are very pleased that Brandon will be graduating from Valparaiso University," said Drew. "He has had two wonderful years here where we saw him grow, both on the floor as a basketball player and off the floor as a person. We will miss him."
NCAA rules allow an institution to apply for a waiver to allow a student-athlete to transfer without sitting out a season, provided the student-athlete has earned a bachelor's degree, has eligibility remaining and is enrolling in a graduate-level program. Wood will have one season of eligibility remaining with Michigan State in 2011-2012.
"First of all, I just want to thank God for putting my family and I in the positions we are in, both on and off the court," said Wood. "He's blessed me with two great years living, going to school and playing basketball in Valparaiso. Most importantly, over these last two years, I have grown as a man."
In his two years as a Crusader, Wood earned a myriad of honors while helping Valpo to 38 victories and a postseason berth this past season in the CIT. Coming aboard as a sophomore in 2009-2010, Wood was tabbed the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year and was a Second Team All-League selection after leading the Horizon League in scoring at 17.7 points per game. Also a member of the NABC All-District 12 Second Team, Wood led the Crusaders in scoring 17 times and scored 20 or more points on 12 occasions. Along the way, he set a new Valparaiso Division I single-game record, as well as a Legends Classic record, by dropping 39 points at Georgia Southern, and also scored 30 points at #6/4 North Carolina.
This past season, Wood was the lone non-senior honored as a First Team All-Horizon League honoree after averaging a team-best 16.7 points per game, good for third in the league. He also earned Horizon League All-Tournament Team accolades, posting 24.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in tournament play to lead the Crusaders to the HL Semifinals. Also a NABC All-District 12 First Team honoree, Wood tallied 1,117 points through two years as a Crusader, a Valpo program record through a player's first two seasons. But Wood did more than score this past season, averaging 4.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game as well, pacing the Crusaders in the latter two categories. His total of 55 steals also marked the sixth-most in a single season in Valpo history.
"I have been provided abundant resources by the coaching staff in order to graduate with a sports marketing and business degree, and was given the opportunity to work on my game and get better every day," said Wood. "Without these things, I would not be where I am today, and I would like to thank Coach Homer Drew and his staff for taking me under their wing."

New Year's baby born in St. Marys on Jan. 1
ST. MARYS — The New Year's baby for Auglaize County is Atticus Logan Kinsey, born to Chelsie, 23, and Brandon, 30, Kinsey, of St. Marys at 7:33 a.m. Jan. 1. The newborn weighed in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces, and measured 20 inches long. Atticus Logan was born at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital.
Chelsie Kinsey said she was playing "Duck-Duck-Goose" with her two children, Cashis, 3, and Mikayla, 7, about five minutes after watching the ball drop in New York City when she went into labor.
Chelsie Kinsey, who works at a Honda facility assembling transmissions, is a lifelong resident of St. Marys. Her husband works at Dynamic Weld in Osgood. The baby has a lot of local connections, being the grandson of Kelly Dawdui and Robin and Wayne Lutz, and the great-grandson of Marlene and Dave Dawdui.
Chelsie Kinsey said she and her husband plan to teach the baby respect, loyalty and family values.
"Family is everything," Chelsie Kinsey said.
Personality-wise, she said the baby is calm, and was calm even in the womb.
"He's pretty chill," Chelsie Kinsey said. "He gets that from his dad."

Pa. Lawmakers Withdraw Support for Bill To Limit Welfare Benefits in Some Rape Cases
October 29, 2012 — Three sponsors have withdrawn their names from a Pennsylvania bill (HB 2718) that would restrict additional welfare benefits to recipients who have a child as the result of rape unless they had reported the rape to authorities, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The Legislature is not expected to vote on the bill before it adjourns next month, according to the Inquirer.
Bill Details
The bill would place a "family cap" on benefits through the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program, meaning that families would not receive additional benefits if they had more children. The approach, adopted by 23 states in the mid-1990s, is intended to discourage women receiving government assistance from having more children. However, a number of states have rescinded the caps in recent years, according to attorney Luan Huynh, a national expert on the issue.
Under the Pennsylvania bill, rape survivors would be exempt from the cap, but they would have to prove they had reported the crime to authorities and identified the attacker, if known (Lubrano, Philadelphia Inquirer, 10/26).
Response to Criticism
Critics of the bill noted that fewer than half of rapes are reported and that the language sent the message that only reported assaults are significant. Rep. RoseMarie Swanger (R), the bill's primary sponsor, said she decided to drop the measure after receiving a flood of phone calls from reporters (Yarrow, Daily Beast, 10/25).
Swanger had defended the bill as late as Thursday morning. Later in the day, she said, "The rape part is not what I requested," adding that she had asked the Legislature's research staff to draft a bill based on a New Jersey measure. The New Jersey law does not include the rape provision. Swanger said she will try again next year.
Another one of the bill's six cosponsors, Rep. Keith Gillespie (R), said he was removing his name because of the language, adding that he had not seen the measure before agreeing to cosponsor it. Additionally, a spokesperson for Rep. Tom Caltagirone, the only Democratic cosponsor, said the lawmaker's name was added by mistake (Philadelphia Inquirer, 10/26).
