Abbott's of Pickaway Co, OH
Looking for any info on these Abbott's.Follow-up to my posting here - http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?Kyle::abbott::5764.htmlhttp://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?Kyle::abbott::5764.html
Rebecca Abbott had 2 brothers, Thomas and William, and 2 sisters (names unknown).A Thomas and William Abbott are neighbors in Pickaway Co, OH 1830.Also Rebecca b~1809 MD, her mother died young and she was raised by her aunt Nancy Porter.I note these coincidences:
1) Thomas is b.1793 MD, and lives in Randolph Co, IN in 1850.
2) Names his children James, Morgan, William, Elizabeth, Nancy, and David
3) Rebecca names her children David, Elizabeth, Nancy, William...
4) Thomas' daughter Nancy is born in KY in 1827 (David McRoberts probably met Rebecca Abbott in Hardin or Jefferson Co, KY, later married her in Cincinnati, OH )
5) In Pickaway, in the same period (1817 to 1825) , a Thomas, William, Nancy, and Elizabeth Abbott are married.
Seems likely Rebecca's sisters were also named Nancy and Elizabeth, and therefore her mother probably named Elizabeth.

Richmond and West Coast clash as two of the undefeated sides after the first couple of weeks of season 2017. The winner of this game will go 3-0 and the ramifications for both sides will be immense. For West Coast a third straight win will put them in good stead for a top four finish while the pressure will be lifted off Richmond coach Damien Hardwick if the Tigers can make it three straight to start the season.
The Eagles only get two games on the MCG in 2017, with the second outing in a fortnight's time against the Hawks. West Coast will be keen to produce their best football on the ground where they hope to be on the final Saturday of September.
The Form
West Coast shook off a resolute St.Kilda to record a 19 point win in their first home game of the season. West Coast struggled to get the game in their forward half for much of the game, before experience and class saw them overrun the Saints in the final term.
Reigning club champion Luke Shuey produced a best on ground performance, while Andrew Gaff racked up 36 disposals for the second consecutive week. Josh Kennedy remains on top of the Coleman leaderboard despite being well held by Nathan Brown for much of the night. Kennedy burst into life with three goals in the final term to finish with four, while Josh Hill chipped in with three.
Richmond secured a second straight win over Collingwood, making it two from two for only the second time this century. While there are definite signs of promise for Richmond, neither Carlton or Collingwood were expected to push hard for the finals, and West Coast will give a truer indication of how much the Tigers have improved in 2017.
Dustin Martin has been the star player at Richmond, with a clear best-on-ground performance in Round 1, and then following up with important touches last week. The Tigers will be relieved that Martin won't miss any time with a fractured cheekbone, and forms a dynamic one-two with captain Trent Cotchin who was instrumental in the victory over the Magpies.
The Recent History
The Eagles and Tigers clashed just once in 2016, with the Eagles winning comfortably by 68 points at Subiaco. The Eagles had 14 scoring shots in the opening quarter, and continued the domination throughout the night. Andrew Gaff was best on ground with 33 disposals, while Elliot Yeo played his best game of the year collecting 25 disposals and booting 2.4. Luke Shuey was also in the Eagles best kicking two goals from 22 possessions and seven clearances. Jack Darling was the major goalscorer for West Coast with four.
The Eagles also won the last meeting between the two sides at the MCG in 2015. It was a defining performance as West Coast reached the Grand Final, but is one of only two wins from the past six visits at the ground. Andrew Gaff was again best on ground with 31 disposals and three clearances while Josh Kennedy led the goalkickers with three. Dustin Martin was the best that night for Richmond with 31 possessions and three goals, but was well held in the loss to West Coast last season.
The Line-Ups
West Coast emerged from the Saints game unscathed, and as such have made just the one change. Lewis Jetta returns to the side after initially being withdrawn from the Saints game, only to then play limited minutes at East Perth. Jetta comes in for Sheed, who looked rusty at the top level and will enjoy a few more weeks at the Royals to improve his match sharpness.
Jack Darling holds his spot in the line-up, despite continuing to struggle to impact the game. Darling could face pressure from youngster Tom Lamb who has enjoyed a fruitful start at WAFL level, booting five goals against West Perth a fortnight ago, before being one of the best in the loss to Swan Districts last week. Darling though has a good record against the Tigers, averaging nearly three goals a game against Richmond – his 2nd best average in the competition, behind only Melbourne.
Richmond were forced into two changes with both Ben Griffiths (concussion) and Shane Edwards (hip) injured in the win over Collingwood. Richmond toyed with handing debuts to talls Mabior Chol or Ivan Soldo, but opted to bring in young players Todd Elton and Kamdyn McIntosh. Elton looks set to support Toby Nankervis in the ruck, although the former Swan is likely to do the majority of the rucking after a stellar start to the season.
Dustin Martin was the big question mark for the week, with doubts raised over whether he would take the field after suffering a hairline fracture in the cheekbone. Martin is a lock to play and could do so with a helmet to provided added protection.
The Talking Points
How do West Coast stop Dustin Martin?
Martin has been in scintillating form over the first two weeks, and has played a large part in Richmond starting their season with two wins. Martin has averaged 29 disposals, three goals, four clearances, five inside-50s and 14 contested possessions in the victories over Carlton and Collingwood and presents a unique match-up for most opposition sides in the AFL.
West Coast will maintain the faith in their zoning defence, but they can't afford to have periods in the game where they allow it to be sliced up, as they did for patches against North Melbourne and St.Kilda. The Tigers have shown that they can move the ball fast into their forward line, and if Martin is one out, he will be incredibly damaging. The Tigers have had great success isolating Martin in the forward 50, and he will be hard to stop in any one-on-one situation.
If the Eagles do choose to go with a more direct match-up, one player who could be given the task is Jackson Nelson. Whilst Nelson wouldn't be able to match Martin in the strength department, Nelson would certainly have the speed and the match committee has shown faith in the past with giving him run-with roles.
How much bearing does Rance vs Kennedy have?
If Dustin Martin is the barometer for Richmond, then Josh Kennedy must have a similar effect for West Coast. Kennedy has proven to be a major factor in the Eagles two wins in 2017. The reigning Coleman Medallist kicked 7.0 in a defining performance against North Melbourne, before bursting to life in the last quarter to help West Coast get over the line against St.Kilda. Kennedy was well held in the first three quarters by Nathan Brown, but a three goal purple patch in the final term was the impetus to give West Coast a hard fought win.
Kennedy is likely to spend time on two-time All Australian Alex Rance, considered one of the best tall defenders in the competition. Rance has had a slow start to 2017 but will no doubt relish the battle against one of the key forwards in the competition. Richmond will know that to beat West Coast, stopping Kennedy for four quarters will go a long way.
Should Sam Mitchell have made the trip?
There have been questions over whether Mitchell should play against the Tigers, with the Eagles short turnaround to next Thursdays clash with the Swans. The 34 year old will be new to the travel burden, but being only three weeks into the season, there is no reason why Mitchell shouldn't play.
No Eagle has played on the MCG more than Mitchell and his experience of the ground can't go undervalued, particularly as many of his new teammates have poor records at the home of football. Expect Mitchell to be rested against the Swans, before his homecoming in Round 5 to take on the Hawks.
The Result?
Richmond are a bit of an unknown quantity two weeks into the season, and the Eagles record at the MCG isn't great. The Tigers have greater midfield depth with the recent additions of Dion Prestia and Josh Caddy, while Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin have had strong starts to season 2017. The midfield battle could determine the outcome; if West Coast have enough of the ball forward of centre, they should have enough forward options to kick a winning score. The Tigers will give West Coast a shake though.
West Coast by 22.
EAGLE TRIVIA: West Coast and Richmond have met three times in Round 3, with West Coast winning them all (1993 WC by 44pts, 1994 WC by 96pts, 2006 WC by 46pts).

what is seo?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization and is known as the practice of increasing a business's organic ranking on search engine platforms such as Bing, Yahoo! and Google.

Whatever the goal, Actuate Media can help your business achieve results through search marketing.
do you have minimum contract lengths?
Typically yes, but it depends. For instance, many display campaigns can last for just about 1 month and therefore our agreement would be to run the campaign from start to finish. However, solutions like Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and Websites typically have a minimum contract of 3 to 6 months. We call this a proof of concept period. There are several optimizations that need to occur over time that will affect the performance of these products, so it's important to have a set amount of time to realize results.

About ME
Hello. My name is Nancy K Anderson. I graduated from Chadron State College in 2003. My first teaching position was in a Class I school in Whitney, Nebraska. In the four years I was teaching at Whitney School, I taught all grades, K-8, at some time. I then switched schools due to moving and taught grades K-2 at Prairie Home School. This was another rural school that had consolidated with Chadron Public Schools. I switched schools again so I would have a shorter commute and taught grades 5-8 at Trunk Butte School. Again, this was a rural school that was with Chadron Public Schools. In 2011, Chadron Public Schools decided to close the four rural schools and did some reconfiguration. I am now teaching in Chadron at the Chadron Intermediate School. Our building has all third and fourth graders in Chadron Public Schools. I am a fourth grade teacher and loving it! There are three other fourth grade teachers and three third grade teachers. The school years keep flying by and I have a feeling they won't slow down.

Ads may hit Gmail's Android app soon, teardown reveals
Over the past few years we've seen advertising steadily creep into mobile apps, including unskippable ads on YouTube and promoted posts on Facebook and Twitter. Now Google, the grand poobah of online advertising, looks set to bring ads to an as-yet unsullied oasis of mobile connectivity. The groundwork is being laid to bring advertising to Gmail for Android, according to an app teardown by Android Police.
The Android-focused site dug into Gmail 4.6, a recent APK rolling out to Android devices, and found several references to advertising. It appears that ads in Gmail for Android may be similar to the ads that began appearing in the Promotions tabs of Gmail web users in July.
Instead of appearing as an on the sidebar of your Gmail window or in a ticker at the top, these ads appear similar to your other emails. Unlike regular messages, however, the ads are marked as such under the name of the "sender," along with an information icon you can click to find out more about the ads.
On Android, you'll have the ability to save these ads to your inbox or dismiss them, according to the Android Police teardown. Coffee lovers who receive an ad for 50 percent off a Frappuccino at Starbucks could keep that offer, for example, while dismissing a message from Coca-Cola.
That's the best guess for what ads will look like, anyway. Google has not yet announced ads in Gmail for Android, and it's not clear when the purported advertising roll out would happen--but it appears to be on the way nonetheless.
With more than 400 million Gmail users, many of whom rely on their mobile devices to stay connected, it's no surprise to see ads arrive in a product built by one of the giants of online advertising. We'll have to wait and see whether promotional messages in Gmail for Android turns out to be an inbox-clogging disaster or a relatively unobtrusive form of advertising that's just part of the price you pay for using a free webmail service.

'I've had it with men!' Actress Frances Barber on having her heart broken six times
Unlucky: Having your heart broken six times is enough to put you off love
Frances Barber doesn't see herself as particularly sexy. Never has. Never will. But, of course, she is - she's looking exceedingly sexy today, in a pair of thigh-high leather boots and a silk scarf that Sir Ian McKellen left at her house after the Variety Club Awards, where he was honoured for his outstanding contribution to showbusiness.
'I was wearing a shirt up to here,' she says, pointing to her chin. 'And a smoking jacket that hid everything, thinking, "I'm so fat. I'm so fat."
Justin Lee Collins [the hirsute TV presenter] was given an award.
'I've never met him, but I've seen him on TV. At the end of his
speech, he said, "Frances Barber, can I just say you give me the horn."
'I've never been so thrilled in my life. I was reeling with
Ian, of course, said, "Tonight's about me, you know, not you."'
Sir Ian, it turns out, is Frances's 'absolute mate'. 'I can't imagine where I'd be without my gay friends, particularly Ian,' she says.
'He's so kind. He's taken me through some of the worst times in my
A prime example is last year, when Frances wrecked her knee and then had her heart broken, when Mike, a much younger and much adored boyfriend of three years, cheated on her. Sir Ian helped put her back together.
'When I did my leg in [she snapped a ligament in a cycling accident], the man I was with didn't step up to the plate, so Ian took me to his house and I didn't leave,' she says.
'He had to put me on the loo and help me dress every day. Then my relationship broke down. I'd been with this man for three years and thought he was fantastic, but clearly I made a very bad error.
'He was a s***. I'd made him the centre of my life, the centre of the universe. We'd sit in the bath together and watch TV. I cooked lovely dinners. We had my bulldog, Smack. It was gorgeous.
'But clearly I didn't do enough because I went away on a job and he cheated on me. He actually said, "You went away and left me," which is pathetic. I went away for work.
'I was touring with King Lear and somebody else made themself available. It's pretty rubbish, isn't it? I was devastated and Ian, my co-star in Lear, was there to pick up the pieces.
'I went through a very rough patch and my 50th birthday was coming up. We were touring in the US, so Ian hired a bus and we went to visit some friends in Washington.
'He took them all on a trip to South Carolina and we stopped at fabulous hotels on the way. One day, we were by the Mississippi and one of my friends, who is an opera singer, sang an aria and we washed the man away through the waters of the Mississippi.
'Ian even hired a private jet to take us back to Washington to make it even more special. It wasn't about the money, it was the thought; he did it so I wouldn't be alone on my 50th birthday with a broken heart.'
Great loves: Frances with her longtime friend Sir Ian McKellen (left) and former boyfriend, Drop The Dead Donkey actor Neil Pearson
Frances, I suspect, encourages big-hearted gestures. She has a huge heart herself and is easily hurt, easily taken advantage of. At 51, she's single and has been in love six times in her life.
'My big, big love when I was younger was Danny Boyle [director of Slumdog Millionaire] and I adored him,' she says.
'Anyone I've ever been in love with, I've really, really loved. I can't not do that. But I'm terribly naive.
'I always think everything's going to be great, and when people are horrid I'm terribly shocked and surprised, then deeply hurt for a long time.
'There have been many men who I truly believed love me and were absolutely loyal to me, and when that trust has been broken, I've been devastated.
'I've never slept with anyone behind someone's back and I've never had an affair with a married man. There are some people who are out of bounds - your best friend's boyfriend, for instance.'
We're on the subject of affairs because Frances is starring in the one-off comedy drama, The Fattest Man In Britain - the jewel in the crown of ITV's Christmas schedule - with another ' absolute mate' Timothy Spall.
Frances plays a blousy tart with a heart, who ends up in bed with a married wheeler-dealer, which is perhaps why she's talking so openly, and at times hilariously, about her own love affairs.
'Anyone I've ever been in love with, I've really, really loved. I can't not do that. But I'm terribly naive'
Take the farcical situation she found herself in with Neil Pearson, the Drop The Dead Donkey actor who she lived with for five years until the early 1990s. 'I was living in a cul-de-sac in north London and we'd had the most massive fight,' she says.
'We'd been in bed, so I ran out naked and lay down in front of his
car, but he just drove round me and zoomed off. All the neighbours had
come to their windows to find out what the noise was about and there
was I, naked, having to get up and go back into the house on my own.'
The course of true love has rarely seemed to run smoothly for her. 'I've done so many foolish things,' she continues.
'I had another foolish love affair that didn't work in New Zealand,
with a friend of Ian's, his masseur. On the way back, Tim [Spall] and
his wife, Shane, were in Los Angeles and they made me go to them en
route because I was very upset.
'I got there and cried and cried and went to bed. The following day,
I woke up and couldn't open my eyes. I thought, "Oh God, on top of
everything else, now I've gone blind."
Then I realised that
Shane had put Post-it notes on my eyes, on my mouth, on the toothbrush,
on the loo roll - everywhere - saying, "No communication with the Kiwi
b******." There wasn't one thing I could touch that didn't have a
sticker on it.'
Frances grew up on a council estate in Wolverhampton, the fourth of
six children born to Sid, a bookie, and Gladys, a school dinner lady.
Her beloved mother died of cancer 18 years ago, which hit her hard.
mother was the most beautiful, generous, kind-hearted human being
you'll ever meet in your life. Her death devastated all of my family,
and there's not a day goes by when I don't think about her at some
'If I'd ever had a child, I would have called her Gladys.' So why didn't she have children?
'I've come close a couple of times,' she says, 'but ultimately I was too selfish.
TV star: Frances with Bob Hoskins in BBC drama The Street
Foolishly, I thought I had plenty of time. But I didn't want to have a child on my own. I've been out with too many men with absent fathers to know that children who grow up without that masculine influence can be messed up.'
Sadly, just a few months after Gladys's death, Frances's older brother, Graham, died in a car crash at the age of 41. At that point in her life she was so despondent that, while travelling on a train in eastern Europe, she sat with a bottle of pills contemplating suicide.
'I'd just come from my brother's funeral and we'd buried my mother a few months earlier. I was at the lowest I'd ever been. I didn't know how low a human could sink. I've always been a person who's full of get-up-and-go; I wake up jolly.
'So, to have that taken away from you is devastating. It's like an illness. You don't want to get out of bed. You don't see the point of anything. I didn't even want to listen to the news - didn't want to know what was going on in the world. I was just in my own little bubble of utter, utter black despair.
'I had some pills in my bag and intended to take them. I was thinking, "Oh, I don't want to wake up." Then this man broke into the carriage and I was nearly raped.
'He was trying to nick my bag and he just grabbed me, pushed me against the carriage and shoved his hand down my top. They say that in extraordinary circumstances you develop a strength you didn't know you possessed. I was like Boadicea.
'I ripped his face off. I had blood under my nails. I was screaming and shouting. I bit him. He was a massive guy, but I had such physical strength. I ran up and down the train, yelling, "What the f***'s going on?" to the guards.
'But they all hid - I'm convinced they were in on the bag-snatching scam. I was shaking all night after it happened. But, however awful it was, I believe it was fate intervening - my mother saying, "Frankie, stop being such a stupid little girl."
'You know, I think I've been very, very lucky,' she says. 'Yes, it would be fantastic to have a man as well. But, I no longer think, "Oh God, I'm on the shelf." If I met someone, it would have to be somebody really special just to inspire me to lose the life I've fashioned for myself.
'I still live in hope. I'm an eternal optimist. And these days 50 is the new 30. Sharon Stone recently split up with her partner. Do you think she's going to be on the shelf? Not likely. We have such an obsession with age.
'The women who I think are absolutely stunning are Helen Mirren, Sharon Stone and Sigourney Weaver - they're mature, stylish, fabulous, they look sensational. Like I say, there's always another chapter.'
Frances has much to look forward to. She's spending the New Year in India with friends, and later in the year will be opening a library there.
'Can you believe that Ian bought me a library?' she says. 'It was in a card I got in the post that said, "Dear Frances Barber, Sir Ian McKellen has pledged x amount of money - I won't say how much - to build a library in your name to help the underprivileged children of the region."
'It's called the Frances Barber library. It's not finished yet, but I'll have to go and snip a ribbon to open it. It's an amazing present isn't it?' Perhaps, with absolute mates like Sir Ian, she doesn't really need any other kind?
'Oh but it would be wonderful to have love, wouldn't it? There's nothing like being in love, is there?' and with that she's up and off in those terribly sexy boots. '

The Executive Council of the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA) is set to roll out an initiative to give relief to media houses reeling under the current power crisis.
The "Tower Pack" initiative will house a central power plant to supply power to media houses within a particular catchment area.
The move comes on the back of the worsening power crisis which GIBA officials say has resulted in huge revenue losses in the media industry due to the overreliance on gen sets.
President of GIBA, Akwasi Agyemang, tells Luv News the Tower Pack Complex will house a high voltage plant to supply alternative power to media houses within a central location.
Mr. Agyemang will not give any timelines but says the association is in talks with some tower companies to build a tower pack.
This he believes will reduce production cost drastically in the media industry.
"Some gen sets are breaking down because they overrun for days on end and so the need for the Tower Pack. In South Africa for instance, Sentech does all the transmission issues for broadcasters so that media houses can focus on programming. The situation is however different in Ghana. In a particular catchment area, one could locate a cluster of media houses such as the Multimedia Group, Net 2, Etv, Happy and Citi Fm among others. So if all these media houses could collocate and be on one on gen set, the cost of production would go down" Mr. Agyemang told Luv Fm's John Teye.
Mr. Agyemang also encouraged members to consider other alternative sources of energy especially solar.
He proposed the initiative at the association's 9th annual meeting in Kumasi.
GIBA is also set to acknowledge the efforts of media practitioners through a new Awards Scheme to be named "The Microphone Awards".
Mr. Agyemang says the "Awards Scheme" will to seek to address concerns that the existing media awards schemes do not reward practitioners outside Accra and Kumasi.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama had a high-ticket meal on the first day of 2015 with an exclusive dining experience at the Vintage Cave restaurant in Honolulu, which features extravagant, multi-course tasting menus priced at $295 per person.
According to multiple reports, the president didn't buy a $500,000 membership offered by the restaurant, but did enjoy the chef's menu.
Honolulu Magazine estimates that a typical dining experience for two at the Vintage Cave "with wine, will approach $1,000."

POP Independence Day David Levinson Vinyl Figure
Despite being an MIT graduate and pretty dang good at math, David Levinson was a pretty average guy… until the aliens freaking attacked Earth! That's pretty much the synopsis of Independence Day, and that's pretty much how every movie synopsis should read. We're fascinated by a normal mathematician's rise to becoming one of the saviors of the world, but we're also just fascinated by Jeff Goldblum. That guy is like a fountain of word fruit punch and everything that he says is a rollercoaster ride. That's also why we love this adorable Funko figure.
Based on the Independence Day character, this David Levinson POP vinyl figure looks like a tiny, adorable Jeff Goldblum that you can display proudly on your desk or shelf. He stands nearly 4" tall and although he might not have any good plans to take down an alien mothership, he will stand nicely next to the rest of your collection.
- 4" tall vinyl figure stands by itself
- Head is able to rotate
- Officially licensed

Laser surgery can be successful in treating certain types of cancers and pre-cancerous conditions of the face. Laser energy is used to vaporize the top layer of skin in a manner to minimize injury to the deeper layers of the skin. In conditions where the skin cancer or the pre-cancerous growth is superficial (on the skin surface), lasers can successfully remove the growth with excellent cosmetic results. Generally, as long as the skin cancer is limited to the epidermis, laser surgery can be successful.
Our office is proud to offer 12 different combinations of advanced lasers and intense pulse light devices to treat nearly everything that can be treated on the skin. For laser surgery, we use a unique blend of Erbium and CO2 lasers for removal of skin cancers and precancerous skin lesions.
The following are some of the skin cancers or pre-cancerous conditions that can be treated with laser surgery:
Superficial basal cell carcinomas tend to be limited to the epidermis or just the upper portion of the dermis. Because of their superficial location, they may be successfully treated with laser surgery.
Squamous cell carcinoma in situ is a type of squamous cell cancer that is limited to the epidermis and does not extend to the dermis. This type of skin cancer is also suitable for treatment with laser surgery.
Bowen's disease (also called squamous cell carcinoma in situ) is an isolated superficial reddish growth that also represents a superficial form of squamous cell cancer (Squamous cell carcinoma in situ). It can sometimes resemble a psoriasis rash. This type of skin cancer is also suitable for treatment with laser surgery.
Actinic keratosis is composed of sun-damaged cells in the top layer of the skin (epidermis). Actinic keratoses usually develop in skin areas that are chronically exposed to sun such as face, scalp, ears, arms, and hands. They appear as red, scaly areas which feel rough to the touch.
Actinic cheilitis is actinic keratosis involving the lips (typically the lower lip, since it is more likely to get sun exposure). Actinic cheilitis appears as a raw, flaky, irritated area on the lip that may occasionally bleed and scab. Actinic cheilitis is limited to the epidermis and does not extend to the dermis. Actinic cheilitis can progress to squamous cell carcinoma of the lip if not successfully treated.
Laser surgery should be reserved for superficial skin cancers and pre-cancerous conditions and should not be used for treatment of skin cancers that extend deeper into the dermis or beyond. Laser surgery should never be used for treatment of melanoma. A number of other benign skin conditions can also be successfully treated with laser surgery. These include:
Solar Lentigo is a benign pigmented spot that can occur on the skin. It is also called an age spot. Solar lentigos may be treated with intense pulse light or laser devices for cosmetic reasons.
Seborrheic keratoses (plural of Seborrheic keratosis) are very common non-cancerous growths of the outer layer of skin (epidermis). There may be isolated or may occur in clusters. They are usually brown, but can vary in color from light tan to black and range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Seborrheic keratoses have a waxy, "pasted-on" or "stuck-on" appearance. Seborrheic keratoses may be treated with intense pulse light or laser devices for cosmetic reasons.
If you are interested in pursuing laser surgery for your skin condition you may contact us to schedule an appointment. If you are not sure about what treatment would be ideal for your condition, one of our nursing staff will contact you and conduct a phone interview to assess how we may best serve your needs.

Tips & Tricks for Palm III devices
Saturday, January 02, 1999 at 03:31 AM
Scratchy Screen
Put transpartent sheet (i.e. for overhead projectors) on top of the pilot screen. Make it slightly bigger than the screen and slide the border underneath the pilot's case. If it is not smooth enough put a little bit of (car) wax on the transparent sheet and your stylus will slide accross the screen like it used to on the first day.
Additionally you can protect the graffiti area with a little strip of removable scotch tape or tesa film. It doesn't get scrachted as fast as transparent sheets.
Reset (paper-clip)
Screw off the top of your stylus and it will reveal a reset pin!
Battery drain
Don't leave your Palm in the cradle even if the computer is shut off (the serial port will remain open) and turn off "Beam Receive" in the "Preferences"
Low Sound
Drill little holes in the back of your Palm.
Loose Stylus
Wrap a small piece of tape around your Stylus and it will be tightened as it was on the first day.

Meet one of Neptuno's gang members, swinging high in the canopy of the Odzala jungle. These Western Lowland Gorillas are one of the least visited primates in Africa. Everybody heads for Rwanda where you pay nowadays 750 $ for a 1-hour permit to see the mountain gorillas. While here, you can see these gorillas twice or when you are lucky even a couple of times during your stay at Ngaga Camp. No permit required. The other big advantage is that you are the only visitor, no other tourists in sight. It's you and the gorilla, a never to forget tete-a-tete in the African jungle.

v4 Troubleshooting Tips
April 6, 2010 6:11:59 PM EDT
Its late, your on a deadline and you can't find anyone to help....here are a few things to try....
In order to better help you, you can help us by seeing if any of these tips below help solve your problem.
CLEAR YOUR PREFS: You need to trash com.soundminer.v4Pro.plist in the preferences folder(home/Library/Preferences) and if in "freelance" mode the file v4ProPrefs inside the folder with your databases.
Since 10.9+ Apple caches prefs, so now you have to launch terminal and run this command
defaults delete com.soundminer.smv4Pro
You should then see the license agreement when you launch Soundminer
CLEAR YOUR DATABASES : The databases are made up of four files with different extensions typically in the /home/Library/Application Support/Soundminer folder(xxx.vdb,xxx.ind,xxx.dat, xxx.blb files) If problems still persist, delete or move the contents of home/Library/Application Support/Soundminer. This also moves your spotting panel contents.
CLEAR YOUR LOGS : The log are found ~/Library/Logs (it's hidden by default, so in the finder use the Go menu and go to folder menu item. Delete the Soundminer folder. It could be crashing while archiving the log file, and running out of memory.
SEND A CRASHLOG TO TECHSUPPORT(firstname.lastname@example.com) - The crashlog is found in home/Library/Logs/CrashReporter. In this directory you will find a Soundminer crash log(or in the case of Leopard, multiple files). Send these to firstname.lastname@example.com. You MUST detail exactly what you were doing step by step so we can diagnose.
Please use the term "crash" if the application quits. If it locks up and you get the spinning wheel and need to force quit, call that a "freeze". In the case of a freeze, you won't get a crash log, but you can help us out by launching /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor, dbl click Soundminer(it should be in red) in the Activity Monitor window, then the sample button. You can then send this report to us. This helps us narrow down what was going on at the time of the freeze.
If none of the above works, send an email complete with your exact version, exact system and hardware details and an explanation of how to reproduce the problem to email@example.com
My Sound is not playing (spacebar does nothing)
Playing via rewire or the standard mac output? These are very different and would indicate different things. It would be very helpful to provide details.
If rewire is engaged:
1. Make sure your sound control preferences are set to 'built-in' and NOT the Digidesign Core audio Engine. Digidesign hardware is NOT multi-client which means it cannot be used if Pro Tools is running. If this is set it will interrupt rewire access.
2. Sometime you may need to change this and restart both, making sure Pro Tools is launched first then Soundminer.
If the mac out is engaged:
Check the audio/Midi utility to see that the sample rate and output are set correctly.
Spotting is not working...why?
To spot your transfer settings must exactly match your pro tools session as Soundminer is handling the conversion. It is therefore imperative to get into the habit of making sure you set your transfer parameters correctly.
1. Take the active PT session document and drop it onto SM. This should initiate a confirm page from SM - it confirms the session location and parameters and ensure a proper transfer. Version 4.3 auto-sets your preferences/transfer page for you. This works for version 7 8 and 9 of Pro Tools. Pro Tools 10 is a new session format and version 4.3 now recognizes PTX formats for auto-detection.
2. Auto-detection and dragging and dropping the session document should automatically set your DAW menu to Pro Tools, but if not, check to make sure you have selected Pro Tools as your destination target.
3. Make sure you have a filenaming algorithm that makes sense - if you just want the original filename use <Filename:1>.(in your preferences/Transfers). If what you have in there is not correct, it will cause issues in the transfer.
4. Go into your PT session an put your cursor on the target track where you want to transfer if you want to spot. Keep in mind whether its a mono or stereo file and adjust accordingly in SM. Find a file you want to transfer and hit S (spot).
5. If you want it to go to the region bin only, then use cmb-Bgot it! Illegal character in the pathname.
NOTE: Pro Tools will not accept files or folders with illegal characters in them. For example if the sourced file in Soundminer had a "/" in it. This will be deemed illegal and Pro Tools will re-convert automatically.
Also please note that the spot API from AVID is not capable of supporting unicode characters or spotting into long paths (in excess of 500 characters).
Thank you Soundminer Support Team

Dennis Kemp
1981. I've got a bunch of pics of Dennis Kemp but none of them quite capture the 'fatherly' side of him as this one does. Dennis, as the oldest member of our 1980's Arapiles 'family', would take a dim view of us doing stupid things (such as throwing gas canisters in the fire or chucking possums into other people's tents). This is the half-serious face he used when admonishing us. In 1990 Dennis told me that he was moving up to Arapiles for good and that he intended to spend what time he had climbing. I asked if he had been successful with his permanent residency application (he lived in Wales) and he said no. I'm an old man', he declared, 'who on earth would be interested in searching me out?'. Dennis died not long afterwords in an accident on Birdman of Alcatraz and was buried in Natimuk Cemetary. He was 67 years old.

When seniors can no longer dress and groom themselves, caregivers should help them maintain healthy grooming habits. The way seniors dress and style themselves can have a significant impact on their self-esteem, so it's important to maintain a consistent grooming regimen. Here are a few ways caregivers can help seniors with their dressing and grooming tasks.
When caregivers help seniors in and out of their clothes, they should try to minimize feelings of embarrassment or anxiety. During the dressing process, caregivers should always close the door and curtains. To ensure seniors don't feel cold, caregivers should make sure the room is relatively warm. Caregivers should support seniors when they want to do things themselves, as this gives them a feeling of independence. However, when seniors find they don't have the strength or energy to dress themselves, caregivers should always be ready with a helping hand.
Some seniors may need assistance with grooming and managing other daily tasks, and professional caregivers can assist them. Denton, Texas, home care professionals can be a wonderful boon to seniors. Whether they require around-the-clock supervision or just need assistance with exercise and household tasks a few days a week, seniors can enjoy a higher quality of life with the help of trusted in-home caregivers.
Selecting Clothing
Streamlining clothing selection can make the dressing process go quickly every morning. Caregivers should look for loose fitting clothing with minimal fastenings. Cotton clothing is comfortable, cool, and easy to clean, which makes it an ideal choice for senior garments. Caregivers should also look for comfortable, nonslip shoes and clothing with large front-fasteners like Velcro and zippers. While loose fitting pants with elastic waistbands are a comfortable option, caregivers should try to help seniors maintain their personal style. Caregivers can also use accessories to add flair to standard outfits. For example, a brightly colored scarf can help seniors stay warm while adding a dash of style.
Helping a senior bathe can be a difficult process. Most seniors don't need to bathe everyday, but they should be encouraged to wash their faces and hands on a regular basis. To simplify the bathing process, caregivers should have all the necessary toiletries ready to go. Favorite toiletries like a lavender-scented soap or a special hair conditioner can make seniors more willing to maintain good hygiene. Caregivers should allow seniors to maintain their privacy whenever possible. If seniors are unable to get in and out of the bathtub, grab bars, tub benches, and handheld showerheads can expedite the process and make bathing safer.
If your aging loved one needs occasional help with bathing, grooming, cooking, or other basic household tasks, or if you need time to attend to important personal matters, reach out to Home Care Assistance, a leading provider of live-in and respite care. Denton seniors can maintain their independence while living at home with the help of our reliable respite caregivers.
Maintaining Healthy Skin
As people age, the skin becomes more delicate and prone to irritation. Caregivers can help seniors keep their skin healthy, clean, and hydrated. Seniors should wash their faces once or twice a day with a gentle cleanser. If they have dry skin, they should use a fragrance-free moisturizer. Because elderly skin is easily irritated, caregivers should always be on the lookout for redness, blisters, and sores. If notable irritation develops, seniors may need medical assistance.
If you are concerned about the personal hygiene, grooming, and overall wellbeing of a senior loved one, consider hiring a live-in caregiver. For many seniors in Denton, Texas, live-in care is an essential component of aging in place safely and comfortably. However, it's important for them to have caregivers they can trust and rely on. At Home Care Assistance, we extensively screen all of our live-in and 24-hour caregivers and only hire those who have experience in the senior home care industry. Our strict requirements ensure seniors can remain in the comfort of home with a reduced risk of injury or serious illness. To learn about our comprehensive, high-quality elderly care plans, give us a call at 972-468-6010 today.

Are we ready, finally, to have the conversation on race that President Bill Clinton suggested the United States needed? The Saint Andrew's Cross, which is the Battle Flag of the Confederacy, now known as the Confederate Flag, symbolizes a fact of history that most White Southerners choose to deny: enslavement of Africans forcibly trafficked to this country and their systematic dehumanization while here – sentiments and aspects of which continue to this day.

"Israel" is an up-to-date apartheid state. "Israel" is a wicked occupying force. "Israel" is a raw, primitive, viciously colonialist state, other "neo-colonialisms" notwithstanding. Whether in Gaza or the West Bank, Palestine is not supposed to defend itself against apartheid, occupation or colonialism in this basic logic of the white Western capitalist world, but it does – valiantly. Long live Palestine!

Dr. Alexander Garza, the chief medical officer of the Department of Homeland Security, recently issued a warning regarding the threat posed to the U.S. by the release of anthrax.
Garza issued the warning at the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response and Communications, chaired by Gus Bilirakis (R-Florida) and ranking member Laura Richardson (D-California), according to Examiner.com.
"The threat of an attack using a biological agent is real and requires that we remain vigilant," Garza said, according to Examiner.com. "A wide area attack using aerosolized Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria that causes anthrax, is one of the most serious mass casualty biological threats facing the U.S."
Garza, who is also the assistant secretary for health affairs for the Department of Homeland Security, was one of several experts who testified on the state of countermeasures available to mitigate the threat of a biological attack.
"An anthrax attack could potentially encompass hundreds of square miles; expose hundreds of thousands of people, and cause illness, death, fear, societal disruption and economic damage," Garza testified, Examiner.com reports. "If untreated, the disease is nearly 100 percent fatal, which means that those exposed must receive life-saving medical countermeasures as soon as possible."
The hearing was the second part of efforts by the subcommittee to explore the strengths and weaknesses of the American countermeasure response should the nation experience large scale exposure to chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear agents from a terrorist attack.
According to Garza, anthrax continues to pose a threat, in part because an extensive systemic countermeasure response remains undeveloped.
In January 2010, the Commission on the Prevention of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, led by former Senators Bob Graham (D-Florida) and Jim Talent, (R-Missouri), issued the U.S. government an "F" for bioweapon preparedness.
"The clock is ticking and time is running out…Our major metropolitan areas are not prepared." Talent said, according to HomelandSecurityNewswire.com. "When you talk privately with people in the administration, they'll tell you we are nowhere on bioterrorism."
The recent House Hearings emphasized the additional limitations the nation faces in the face of the bioterror threat. These limitations include the multiple and overlapping federal agencies tasked with decision making, the poor state of physician education regarding the effects of bioterrorism, pediatric response needs and the lack of development of a cleanup response.
Department of Homeland Security warns of anthrax threat
Dr. Alexander Garza, the chief medical officer of the Department of Homeland Security, recently issued a warning regarding the threat posed to the U.S. by the release of anthrax.

How are the Objects Appraised?
The value is assessed in line with the material and the historical accumulation of the object and the market demand; by receiving one or several appraiser's opinion who have an expertise in the relevant artifact group and whose expertise is accepted within the country and abroad.
Our appraisers assess the market value of the object whose virtual or in-place appraisal is requested showing the maximum effort and taking the information given by the object owner, any explanation supporting it and the photos and the measurements sent for the virtual appraisal as a base and assuming that these aspects reflect the reality.

If you do not know the place for your object among the categories or if you do not know what your object is you can upload photos choosing 'other objects' category.
What are the Factors Affecting the Value of the Antique?
Any old object may not be an antique and in the same vein any antique may not be valuable. In fact, any object from the past reaching our day is unique, even if it reflects the same period, it won't be in the same condition during the appraisal and the condition of the object is significantly important.
Antique works should also be valuable at their periods. For an object, having been done by the special artists of its time increases its value also as an antique.
Also, the artist or the manufacturer of the antique is an important criterion.
Under which conditions and for which reasons it was done is also an element affecting the antiquity value.
What is Antique?
