Asbestos could delay old jail's razing
Marion County's plans to raze its former jail by year's end may have hit a snag.
Environmental health director Tonya Richards confirmed Monday that all six tests she performed on insulation from ducts in the old jail were positive for asbestos.
Under state law, the county must hire a licensed removal firm to get rid of the asbestos before it can demolish the building.
Seven other tests Richards performed on walls and surfaces were negative.
"It's actually good news," Commissioner Dan Holub said. "I was afraid it was the whole building."
Commissioners voted to seek bids from licensed removal firms and to ask a formerly licensed remover, Stuart Isaac of Supreme Floor in Hillsboro, whether he might be interested in renewing his license and bidding.
The commission also is seeking bids on 420 feet of fencing to be installed around the new jail.
Portions of the fence will, according to the commissioners, meet contractual obligations to provide a privacy fence shielding the jail from nearby property owners.
However, the commission is looking to possibly extend the fence around the entire jail.
"It just finishes it off," Holub said, "but if it's too much, we'll just do the contractual requirements."
The six-foot concrete fence that the commissioners envision is designed to shield the jail from view. However, nearby property owner Darvin Markley has contended that local terrain dictates that an eight-foot fence is needed to fully shield it from view.
Bids will be due Aug. 12. Construction is to be completed by Sept. 30.
Despite the commissioners' disagreement with Markley, his business, Markley Service, won the low bid for two chemicals ordered for the noxious weed department Monday. Cooperative Grain and Supply of Hillsboro was low bidder for two other chemicals.

The lubricant is needed only on the hair surface? How can the blade cut the slippery surface?
Why does soap make shaving with razor less painful?
It helps to be a bit clear about what we mean when we say something is slippery or lubricated. Slipping occurs when only weak intermolecular attachments occur at an interface. Soap lubricates many solid surfaces because a soap/water mixture forms micelles, little balls of the soap "molecules" with a hydrophilic outer shell and a hydrophobic inner area (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap). These micelles can break and reform to create coatings on a surface in such a way as to lower intermolecular interactions between two objects (say, your foot and the floor). (Or, the little balls and water molecules just slide past each other, which produces the same effect.)
This effect is only slightly relevant to shaving in that it allows the razor to slide more smoothly across your skin. (Remember that the razor is almost parallel to your skin, so the physical situation is very close to two flat surfaces coming into contact. That's also why it can help to pull your skin taut.) Lubrication does very little to the hair because the razor, as a sharp edge, presents many more molecules per unit surface area when it encounters a hair than two flat surfaces coming into contact. The sharp edge of the razor is much more likely to find microscopic roughness in the hair and, from that starting point, cleave through.
So why does soapy water, or shaving cream, actually make a shave less painful, if it's not the lubrication? It's actually because the hair absorbs moisture and becomes softer. From a molecular perspective, water penetrates the outer layer of the hair (the cuticle), assisted by the soap (because the cuticle is hydrophobic), and gets into the interior of the hair (specifically, the cortex). (Hair structure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair#Description) This swells the hair and helps separate the keratin strands, lowering the density and making it easier for the razor to cut. So it's not so much the lubricating effect of the soap, but the hydrating effect, that provides the shaving assistance.
As a side note, the swelling of the hair when wet helps to lift it up slightly from the skin, which lets you cut the hair closer to the root. This effect can be sufficient to cut the hair so that, when dry, it sits slightly below the surface of the skin. That's why you also get a smoother shave when using some form of lubricant.
I guess answer from #Micheal is correct. I would just like to add that the "pain" factor in shaving comes from friction of blade with the skin, removing some skin tissue causing pain. The fact that shaving action of shaving is performed periodically(for most people) causes the thin hair(previously) when shaved to grow from thick base further resulting in thickening of the hair. This results in tightening of the hair in the follicle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair_follicle) which gives the feel of hardness of the regrown hair. Now the soap is a surfactant and plays the role of cleansing agent for skin and lubricating agent for hair. Since the oils in the follicle are cleansed by soap the water effectively hydrates the skin, resulting in softening of the hair and follicular clamp. This could result in swelling due to hydration is also the reason why hot water works better than cold water. End result is an easy shave with minimal skin damage and hence less pain.
This is pure speculation.
Removing soap/shaving cream causes sensations that distract from the discomfort of actually shaving.
Evaporation is separated from the skin by a layer of soap bubbles. Removing the soap occurs during shaving results in evaporation occurring directly on the skin, which produces a cool fresh feeling not unlike the cool side of a pillow. The bubbles themselves exert a clinging force - the release of which likely contributes to the distraction.
Using soap/water/shaving cream likely does not affect the actual mechanics significantly - besides forcing one to shave slowly.

- "The research data from this project will be deposited with the institutional repository on the grantees' campus."
- "The research data from this project will be deposited with [repository] to ensure that the research community has long-term access to the data."
- "By depositing data with [repository], our project will ensure that the research data are migrated to new formats, platforms, and storage media as required by good practice."
- "In addition to distributing the data from a project Web site, future long-term use of the data will be ensured by placing a copy of the data into [repository], ensuring that best practices in digital preservation will safeguard the files."
- "[Repository] will place a master copy of each digital file (i.e., research data files, documentation, and other related files) in Archival Storage, with several copies stored at designated locations and synchronized with the master through the Storage Resource Broker."
- "The data will be processed and managed in a secure non-networked environment using virtual desktop technology."
- "The data files from this study will be managed, processed, and stored in a secure environment (e.g., lockable computer systems with passwords, firewall system in place, power surge protection, virus/malicious intruder protection) and by controlling access to digital files with encryption and/or password protection. De-identifed files will be deposited with [repository] whose security policy has been written according to best practices."
- "Our research project will generate data from a large national sample. These data will be retained by [repository] as part of their permanent collection."

Create And Mount Amazon AWS EC2 EBS Storage To AWS EC2 Linux Instance
Amazon's AWS products are pretty amazing and allow you to scale with ease for short or long term projects. One thing that can be helpful is mounting extra storage to AWS instances so you have the ability to unmount the storage and mount to different instances in the future. The other benefit is the ability to terminate an Amazon AWS instance and keep the Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume to use on another AWS instance at a later date. Use the directions below to create an Amazon EC2 EBS volume, attach the volume to an Amazon AWS instance, format the volume, and then mount the volume to the instance.

The blaze was reported from the 15 storeyed building, which is around 50 metres high, on K G Marg near Connaught Place at around 6:20 AM and 32 fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the fire.
Till noon, the fire was not doused.
The fire broke out in the third floor of the building and it spread to the fourth floor.
Half a dozen guards, who were inside the building at the time of the incident, were taken out safely, fire brigade officials said.
However, one person is believed to be trapped inside the building.
Thick plumes of smoke were billowing out of the building and rescue workers were working hard to douse the fire which broke out apparently due to an electrical fault.
Police and fire brigade officials said they were yet to ascertain the cause of the blaze though they suspected it to be due to a short circuit.
"There was a lot of smoke. The smoke blackened the sky," Kamal, an eyewitness, said.
Police has blocked traffic on K G Marg from Outer Circle of Connaught Place to Tolstoy Marg intersection on K G Marg.

Syl Johnson Net Worth is $6 Million.Syl Johnson Net Worth is $6 Million. Syl Johnson Nickname is Sly Johnson, Sylvester Thompson, Johnson, Syl. Syl Johnson Ethnicity is African American. Syl Johnson is an American blues and soul singer and record producer.
Born Sylvester Thompson in Holly Springs, Mississippi, United States, he migrated with his family to Chicago in 1950; blues guitarist Magic Sam was his next-door neighbor. Johnson sang and played with blues artists Magic Sam, Billy Boy Arnold, Junior Wells and Howlin' Wolf in the 1950s, before recording with Jimmy Reed for Vee-Jay in 1959. He made his solo debut that same year with Federal, a subsidiary of King Records of Cincinnati, backed by Freddie King on guitar.
He then began recording for Twinight Records of Chicago in the mid 1960s. Beginning with his first hit, "Come On Sock It to Me" in 1967, Johnson dominated the label as both a hitmaker and producer. His song "Different Strokes", also from 1967, featured on the Ultimate Breaks and Beats breakbeat compilation.
Like other black songwriters of the period, several of his records at this time explored themes of African-American iden...

Some of my favorite featured tools include Prezi (a fabulous brainstorming and alternative presentation tool to PowerPoint), Animoto (a website that turns your favorite photos and music into a perfectly orchestrated masterpiece/slideshow), Make Beliefs Comix (a free tool that enables students to make their own comic strips), Teachers TV (a website filled with videos of model classrooms and videos about the things we all think about as teachers – integrating ICT, assessment, differentiated instruction, teaching to every student…).
Web 2.0 Cool Tools for Schools is going to keep me busy for a long time. What a wonderful reference!
Thanks Levna for organizing such a useful wiki!

Man City wins, Liverpool loses in EPL
LONDON (AP) Manchester City took charge of the Premier League title race as Edin Dzeko and Yaya Toure scored first-half goals for a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
After leader Liverpool lost 2-0 against Chelsea at home, City cut its deficit to three points with one game in hand. If it wins the three remaining matches and keeps a superior goal difference, Man City will be crowned champions.
Recovered from a thigh problem, Toure made a spectacular return to competition, setting up Dzeko's opener in the fourth minute with a precise cross the striker headed home. The powerful midfielder then started and concluded a superb collective move two minutes before halftime with a curling shot.
Chelsea slowed Liverpool's title charge and kept its own chances alive with a 2-0 victory against the sloppy leaders.
A resilient Chelsea beat a team on an 11-game league winning streak.
Demba Ba seized on Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's slip in first-half stoppage time to make it 1-0. Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge gave the ball away in the 90th minute and Chelsea launched a quick counterattack that Willian finished off.
It was Liverpool's first loss since falling at Chelsea four months ago. Chelsea is two points behind Liverpool with two games remaining.
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Atletico Madrid moved one step closer to its first Spanish league title in 18 years with a 1-0 victory at Valencia, while Lionel Messi completed an emotional 3-2 comeback win for Barcelona at Villarreal two days after the death of former coach Tito Vilanova.
Atletico midfielder Raul Garcia scored with an impressive header in the 43rd minute, and its defense did the rest as it gave Valencia no chance to rally at its Mestalla Stadium.
Diego Simeone's side moved six points clear of Real Madrid, which has a game in hand, while Barcelona remained within four points after coming from two goals down to beat Villarreal in its first game since the death of Vilanova.
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets wept as the two teams gathered at the center circle before kickoff at El Madrigal Stadium to observe a minutes of silence for Vilanova, who died on Friday after a battle with cancer, having led Barcelona to the league title last season. Vilanova was honored similarly across Spain's first division this weekend.
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta said his team had been "very affected" by Vilanova's death, who was honored this weekend by more than 50,000 people who attended a memorial site at Camp Nou.
"It has touched all of us," Iniesta said. "I will take with me the example he set for us, both when he was with us and after."
Barcelona defender Dani Alves responded to a racist taunt at Villarreal by picking up a banana that landed at his feet, peeling and then eating it before proceeding to take a corner kick.
Alves said after the match that humor is the best way to combat racism in sports.
"We have suffered this in Spain for some time," Alves said. "You have to take it with a dose of humor. We aren't going to change things easily.
"If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective."
Ruben "Cani" Gracia and Manuel Trigueros scored from counterattacks for Villarreal to go 2-0 up by the 55th minute.
But Villarreal then self-destructed with own goals by Gabriel Armando in the 65th and Mateo Musacchio in the 78th, both redirecting passes by Dani Alves into their team's net.
Messi finally beat goalie Sergio Asenjo after Busquets and Cesc Fabregas combined to set the forward up to net his 27th league goal of the campaign and reach the 40-goal mark in all competitions for the fifth straight season.
Earlier, Garcia's ninth goal of the league season kept Atletico on course for its first league title since 1996.
With a better head-to-head record against Madrid, Atletico can clinch the domestic crown by winning two of its remaining three games. It first plays at Levante, then hosts Malaga, and finally travels to Barcelona.
AMSTERDAM (AP) – Ajax won its 33rd Dutch league title and fourth straight after drawing at Heracles Almelo 1-1.
Lasse Schone put Ajax ahead with a free kick after 13 minutes. Simon Cziommer equalized 10 minutes later, also on a free kick, as an out-of-form Ajax settled for the draw.
Last week, Ajax lost the Dutch Cup final 5-1 against PEC Zwolle.
Other Dutch teams have won four straight championships, including PSV Eindhoven twice , but Ajax's Frank de Boer becomes the first coach to win four in a row.
"Every year we try to put together a team, and we've done it again … I'm proud," De Boer said.
Feyenoord claimed second place and a berth in Champions League qualifying in style, beating SC Cambuur 5-1. Third-place FC Twente will play in the Europa League after another big win, 5-2 at NEC Nijmegen.
SOCHAUX, France (AP) – Sochaux, trying to avoid relegation, put Paris Saint-Germain's title celebrations on hold by salvaging a 1-1 draw in the French league.
PSG striker Edinson Cavani chested down a long ball from Thiago Motta to fire in an off-balance strike in the 24th minute. But Sochaux tied it with an own-goal by PSG's Thiago Silva in the 56th.
PSG leads Monaco by eight points at the top of the league with three rounds left.
MILAN (AP) – Luca Toni scored a goal to help Hellas Verona rout relegation-threatened Catania 4-0 in Serie A to boost its chances of qualifying for European play.
In the sixth minute, Catania goalkeeper Alberto Frison palmed away Juan Iturbe's shot and Toni fired in the rebound. Toni thought he scored again in the 28th when he headed home a shot, but it was later changed to an own goal because the ball hit the goalpost and then bounced in off Frison.
Toni has 19 goals this season.
Marquinho extended Verona's lead just before halftime with a low drive following Juanito's pass. Juanito scored in the 75th minute on a curling shot into the far corner.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) – Hamburger SV lost 3-1 in Augsburg for another setback in the struggle to avoid the first Bundesliga relegation in the club's history.
Also, Borussia Moenchengladbach won 1-0 at Schalke on a first-half goal by Patrick Herrmann. Schalke failed to strengthen its grip on third place and a direct slot in the Champions League.
Hamburg's eighth straight away loss also means four teams are safe from relegation: Werder Bremen, Hannover, Freiburg and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Only Stuttgart can be overhauled by Hamburg, which is 16th and in a relegation playoff sport. But Stuttgart is five points ahead with two matches remaining, while Nuremberg and Eintracht Braunschweig are one and two points behind, respectively.
The two-leg playoff involves the 16th-place team from the Bundesliga and the third-place team from the second division.
Halil Altintop had two goals and Andre Hahn gave Augsburg a 3-0 lead before Heiko Westermann pulled one back for Hamburg in the 44th.

Gadsden State men's basketball coach Todd Ginn knows what he wants out of this season.
Gadsden State men's basketball coach Todd Ginn knows what he wants out of this season.
"We can make it to the (national) tournament, where Gadsden State hasn't been since 1968 or '69," he said.
His players do, too.
"Nothing matters until the end of the year," Collin Langley said. "We're going to try to win it all. Nothing matters until then."
"We're just getting ready for March to come," Stephon Daniels said. "We work hard so we can get a championship. That's what we want."
With the start the Cardinals have put together, it's not a stretch that they will get what they want.
Gadsden State is 10-1 on the season and ranked 14th in the National Junior College Athletic Association Top 25 poll.
The Cardinals feature a team full of players who do not just sit the bench, as 14 of the 16 men listed on their roster have played in every game this season. Twelve players average at least three points per game.
Guard Kenric McCants leads the team in scoring at 15.6 points per game. Matt Margavio, who at 6-foot-6 presents a difficult matchup for other guards, is second with 14.5 points per game. Terrence Lee is the Cardinals' other player averaging double digits, at 10 per contest.
Burly Deddrick Lovelace, 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, is the team's leading rebounder at 7.4 per game. McCants dishes out 3.1 assists per game to pace the squad.
Ginn, in his sixth season at the helm for Gadsden State, no doubt likes the team he has this year. He knows that to reach their full potential, though, it will take plenty of hard work.
"It's all gonna be about these guys laying down self," he said. "It's hard to do at a junior college, these guys are looking to move on (to a four-year school), but if they can, our ceiling is pretty high."
As Daniels sees things, Ginn and his staff have accomplished focusing on team over self quite well.
"We've come together as a team," he said.
Ginn and his staff preached to players how important being in top physical shape dictates how far the team can go this season.
"It all started back in preseason workouts," he explained. "I have to give credit to my brother, Scott. He got these guys in great shape. We are in unbelievable shape. If we can be in this good of shape after the two weeks off for Christmas, we'll be a tough team."
Daniels, a sophomore guard from Westbrook Christian who averages three points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists per outing, knows first-hand the Cardinals are in tip-top physical shape.
"We worked hard last summer and fall," he said.
Gadsden State averages 97 points per game, while allowing 73, and Ginn believes defense is the bedrock of the team's outstanding start.
"We really pride ourselves on defense," he said. "You wouldn't think it to look at our scores, but we play so fast, up-and-down. If we play good defense, we are really, really tough."
Langley, a sophomore guard who played his high school ball at Boaz and averages nine points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, agrees defense is the key to the Cardinals' success.
"We've been a pretty good defensive team," he said. "That's what we base ourselves on."
Ginn has his players focus on making 3-pointers and
layups offensively, since he is not a fan of the midrange game. "I'll pull you out for midrange stuff," he said with a smile.
That philosophy is just fine with the Cardinals.
"We've got shooters," Langley said. "We have some depth. We have more than five that can come in and provide minutes without losing intensity."
Ginn characterized games played before January 17 as merely preparation.
"That's when our conference schedule starts," he said.
The setup for the postseason is not Ginn's cup of tea, as he feels it discards a team's regular season performance.
"I hate it," he said. "You base everything on one tournament. Hanceville went 30-0 a couple of seasons ago and got beat in the finals of the (conference) tournament and didn't get to go to the national tournament. No at-large bids, either you win your conference or you go to the house.
"You're playing to improve for that one tournament, four nights in a row."
Still, he has no complaints about what his squad has done so far.
"Not in my wildest dreams did I think we would be 10-1.
"I think we have really bought in. My assistants do such a good job of getting these guys ready. I get to be in the spotlight when they're the ones who do a ton of the work."
Daniels also has been pleasantly surprised with the Cardinals' performance.
"I didn't think we would start off this good," he said. "Coach (Ginn) really got us going and prepared for the season. We want to get better every day, come out and compete every day."
Beyond the game, Ginn hopes to have an impact upon his players as their lives go forward.
"I tell them, 'We're trying to get you so, one of these days when somebody hires you, that they can count on you.' If you hire one of my guys, I want you to say, 'That son of a gun is on time every day. In fact, he's early.' That's what it's all about."
Still, while he has them under his wing, a simple phrase that his entire team would agree with says enough for now.
"It's fun to win games," Ginn said. He and the Cardinals are having a lot of fun this year.

Chew the right thing
Buy the Pie!
By definition, a shepherd's pie is a baked meat pie with a crust of mashed potatoes. So right off the bat this particular one is a bit unconventional, because it's completely meat-free. As you may or may not know, our close pal Amy (the genius behind this find) makes veggie products, so you won't find meat in anything she puts out. This delicious shepherd's pie swap is full of seasoned veggies and beans and topped with a creamy smashed potato crust. Yum! Even major carnivores (like us) won't miss the beef.So grab a spoon (or a fork -- or a spork!) and dig in to this crazy good guilt-free comfort food. An added bonus: The individual single-serving size of these pies makes them super-adorable and fun...Hooray!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Zach Braff will make his Broadway debut next year in a musical adaptation of Woody Allen's crime caper "Bullets Over Broadway." The only person who might be more excited than Braff is his dad.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Zach Braff will make his Broadway debut next year in a musical adaptation of Woody Allen's crime caper "Bullets Over Broadway." The only person who might be more excited than Braff is his dad.
"If my father loved two things most, it was Woody Allen movies and Broadway musicals," Braff said by phone from Los Angeles. "When I called my father, I said, `Are you sitting down?'"
Written by Allen and Douglas McGrath, the story follows a struggling young playwright who is forced to cast a mobster's talentless girlfriend in his latest drama. Braff will play the hero, portrayed by John Cusack in the 1994 film.
"It's thrilling," Braff says. "I keep waking up expecting it to be a dream."
Five-time Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman will direct and choreograph the show, which will start performances in March 2014 at the St. James Theatre. The show will feature a full orchestra playing music of the 1920s.
The musical sees Braff return to his acting roots: He played Allen's son in one scene when he was 18 in the film "Manhattan Murder Mystery" before going to Northwestern University to study film.
"If you would have asked me a couple months ago `What are your dreams as an actor?' I would have said, `I'd love to do a Broadway musical one day and I'd love to work with Woody Allen again.' When I got the call from Woody and Susan Stroman, my head sort of exploded."
The rest of the cast will be made up of Vincent Pastore ("The Sopranos"), Betsy Wolfe ("The Mystery of Edwin Drood"), Lenny Wolpe ("The Drowsy Chaperone") and Helene Yorke ("Grease").
Braff grew up in northern New Jersey and caught the performing bug from his father, a lawyer who did community theater for fun. Though he's never done musical theater professionally, Braff often sang as the daydreaming Dr. John "J.D." Dorian on "Scrubs" and he won a Grammy Award for best compilation soundtrack for "Garden State." He says he's already started working with a vocal coach.
After "Scrubs," Braff filmed the dark indie "High Cost of Living" and acted in the off-Broadway play "Trust" and had a part in Sam Raimi's "Oz the Great and Powerful."
Braff also penned a play of his own, "All New People," his first piece of original writing since the 2004 film "Garden State," his sweet ode to disillusionment starring himself and Natalie Portman. "All New People" had a run off-Broadway in 2011 and was later mounted in London, with Braff starring.
Braff this spring turned to the crowd-funding site Kickstarter to raise $2 million in three days to fund his film, "Wish I Was Here" a follow-up to "Garden State." He says he'll work on the film for the rest of the year before hitting Broadway, and he hopes "Wish I Was Here," which he co-wrote with his brother Adam, will be due out in the fall of 2014.
In the meantime, he has a date with Broadway. It's something his father might be interested in, too. "I said to Woody, `He'll be there more than you.' I said, `I might need a cot for my father between the matinees and the evening show.'"

Staff writer
Several Marion County emergency responders rushed to the scene of a farm semi-truck rollover Wednesday off Nighthawk Rd. south of 190th Rd. The driver, Linferd Funk of Hillsboro, had to be life watched to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.
Funk was the only one in the semi as it rolled once into the east ditch of the road spilling most of its load of soybeans into the ditch.
Teresa Easter of Salina and Bruce House of Marquette came upon the accident just after it occurred while on their way home from work in Peabody.
"Thank God we had left work early," Easter said. "We came down the road just after it happened."
When Easter and House arrived on scene Funk was up and walking around.
"I didn't think he was as hurt as he was, but it must have been the adrenaline," she said. "When I saw the truck in the ditch I never imagined someone just walking out of the truck."
Easter put her coat around Funk to protect him from the cold and called 911.
"Not too long after, a neighbor drove up and I told her she should call 911 and tell them exactly where we were, because I had no idea, I'm not from around here, neither of us were so we were just guessing where we were," House said.
They stayed with Funk until emergency crews arrived and contacted Funk's wife, Dolores, to tell her what was happening.
"She called me an angel," Easter said.
Funk was transported by helicopter to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita where he was treated and released that afternoon.
This is not the first time Easter and House were the first to arrive to a rollover, she said.
"We witnessed one other awhile ago, a car that rolled across the highway," Easter said.
Kevin Steele was driving down Nighthawk Rd. on his way back to work when he was stopped because of the accident. The accident was too familiar to him as well.
"I've been in one of those before, where I've rolled a semi," he said. "But luckily I walked away. I've never seen the inside of an ambulance."
Equally as familiar for him was the spot in which the accident took place. On July 30, Steele's car was swept off the road at the same spot by flooding.
"There must just be bad luck in that spot," he said. "I was a little luckier than him though, but hopefully everything will turn out OK."
Hillsboro fire, ambulance, and sheriff's officers responded.
The semi was pulled out of the ditch around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday and another truck was brought in to haul away the spilt soybeans.

If we think about the way people's lives progress, we all share a common human experience: birth and death. Our direct ancestors must have survived long enough to have children or we wouldn't be here. A standard pedigree chart shows four or five generations, with specialized charts going back to ten generations or more. This is the framework of the structure upon which you build your genealogy. There is a difference between claiming a brick wall for one of you direct line ancestors (grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents etc.) and claiming a brick wall on a collateral line, such as the sibling of a grandparent, the spouse of a sibling or whatever.
Collateral relatives are those to whom you are related by blood, but are not your direct line ancestors. Therefore, your ancestors are your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc., and your collateral relatives are your cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, siblings, etc. Now, you are usually not related by blood to your spouse (although you may be if you married a cousin). Likewise, you are not blood relations to the spouses of your collateral relatives. For example, I am not related to my great-uncle's wife the same way I am related to my uncle. My uncle and I share a common parent (grand-parent) but his wife has an entirely different set of blood line relatives who may or may not be my relatives.
Now, at this point, I need to discuss pedigree collapse. This is an inevitable and unavoidable, basic fact of genealogy. As we go back in the past our pedigree takes the shape of a snake that has swallowed some large animal. If you think about it, your number of ancestors doubles in each generation: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc. If you were to go back thirty generations you would, theoretically, have 2 to the 30th power direct line ancestors or well over the entire population of the world at that time. So what happens? We all end up marrying cousins. Eventually, the pedigree line collapses and the number of real direct line ancestors begins to decrease rather than increase. For example, the offspring of two first cousins have at most only six great-grandparents instead of the normal eight.
One problem with using a standard genealogical database program is that these programs do not adequately reflect pedigree collapse. For example, my parents were second cousins. If I go to FamilySearch.org's Family Tree and show my pedigree in a fan chart, it will show four generations of my direct lines. What it does not show is that my mother's grandfather and my father's great-grandmother were brother and sister. So, from a practical standpoint, if I am working off of a standard fan chart or pedigree chart, I may not even realize that the lines cross.
Now, as you build your genealogy on a direct line, you take advantage the of the research that you do at each generation. For example, as I investigate the lives of my parents, I find information about their parents and so forth. If you try to skip a generation, you may get lost. First, you are ignoring the information you could have obtained from the descendants of the direct line ancestor and second, you are making an assumption that the person you are investigating or researching is the correct person. As an example, let's say I have inherited a pedigree chart from someone in my family. I notice that going back a couple of generations, there is a blank space for my paternal great-great-grandfather, I immediately decide that I want to find him and start doing research.
I cannot tell you how many times this occurs. Unfortunately, the person doing the research has no idea who the great-grandfather is and does not even know if the right person is recorded. This is like trying to build a bridge from the middle out of the two shores. There is no anchor or foundation for the research. Now, what you do when you start researching the spouse of a collateral relative is exactly the same thing. You are building a bridge in the air. You have done no research at all on the children of that spouse and you have no idea if the spouse is correctly identified. So you don't start with the missing spouse, you start with the children or grandchildren.
You can't start doing effective research without the foundational research that provides a base for the investigation. You may find the person or you may not. But if you have failed to do foundational research by examining in detail the children of this collateral relative and his or her spouse, then you are building a bridge in the air. Why do you think I find so many of the children of my ancestors assigned to the wrong wife of my collateral relatives? It is because the researchers start doing the research with the spouse and ignore the research on the children.
Come forward. This is one of the keys to finding an ancestor. It may seem like a waste of time to do the research on each child and each grandchild, but this is exactly what needs to be done. You have to know who you are trying to research. The difference between claiming a brick wall for a direct line ancestor and a collateral ancestor is simple; the amount of research you have already done on the person's descendants. Usually, researchers have done little or no research on the descendants of their collateral ancestors.

What Is Ego?
Recently there was some discussion on this forum of Tolle's use of the word ego and what he meant by it. I copied an excerpt below that I liked in which ET discusses mind and ego, he says: "To me the ego is the habitual and compulsive thought processes that go through everybody's mind continuously. External things like possessions or memories or failures or successes or achievements. Your personal history. All these things, a bundle of thoughts, of repetitive thoughts that give you a sense of who you are." So in other words he is saying that is more of pattern of thinking, a movement of energy, rather than an actual entity. More of a verb than a noun.
A Few Personal Remarks
Also the interview touches on the fact that some Christians don't find his teaching to be compatible with the bible. There are also other Non Dual teachings, whose followers may focus on what they believe to be incongruent ideas with their own approach. With increasing public exposure such as these interviews, we may find more voices of opposition at our doorstep, coming to this forum to express their opinions. I am reminded of one of my favorite lines from A Course In Miracles: "In my defenselessness, my safety lies." It is a good quotation to ponder. To me "defenselessness" does not mean that we become a doormat, or that we can't express our opinion. But defensive-ness has a different energy and feel to it. It is an internal movement of resistance, and our own opposition to the other person's opinions. In short it is being outside the flow of life, and trapped in mind stream.
Most of us here know when we have crossed that line into defensiveness. We may not recognize it immediately, as our thinking becomes clouded in the moment. But later it becomes more apparent as we begin to simmer down. Going forward, if we want to keep this forum a comfortable "haven", a place of support and solace from the world's madness; it would go along way if we can recognize when we are heading into a defensive posture. As Kiki mentioned yesterday, pause and take a deep breath; inquire into your thinking process and what is causing a reaction. Get in touch with the body and how it feels, the body is a beautiful instrument for reflecting the mental state. It will often give us a clear message in the form of pain, tension or dis-ease when we are in a reactive mode. And as Eckhart suggests, unless we are operating from a state of peace, acceptance, joy or love; then our mind is probably in the driver seat. So perhaps we can remember that before we hit the "Submit" button, and fire off a post that will begin a chain reaction on this forum.
There is a quote that comes to mind from the late comedian Nipsey Russell:
"It does not matter what boat you came over on, we are all in the same boat now."
So why rock the boat, when we can enjoy the ride together?
Tolle, who was born in Germany is a rather unassuming "spiritual teacher" and doesn't like the term "guru." Tolle doesn't do "self-help" in the traditional sense. He isn't teaching people how to lose weight, get a job or have a better sex life.
Instead, he's teaching people how to shut off the noise in their heads and be happy. His message is that our egos are destroying our lives, and by ego he doesn't just mean thinking we are special, he means our thinking, period. That voice in our heads, our ego, Tolle believes, has a relentless need to be right, which leads us to make enemies. Tolle granted ABC's Dan Harris a rare interview.
Eckhart Tolle: To me the ego is the habitual and compulsive thought processes that go through everybody's mind continuously. External things like possessions or memories or failures or successes or achievements. Your personal history. All these things, a bundle of thoughts, of repetitive thoughts that give you a sense of who you are.
Dan Harris: So our ego, this constant stream of thinking, the voice in our head is making us miserable?
Eckhart Tolle: Yes, that's right. And it prevents you from being truly alive. So I'm not saying we musn't think anymore. That would not be possible and it would not be desirable. Thinking is a wonderful tool if it's applied. Thinking however can not become the master. Thinking is a very bad master. If you're dominated by thinking then your life becomes very restricted. If you're able to use your mind instead of being used by your mind, that's a beautiful thing. To use your mind constructively.
Psychologists found that 98 or 99 percent of our thinking is repetitive. And also a lot of our thinking is very negative. People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgements, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on. Many people live habitually as if the present moment were either an obstacle that they need to overcome in order to get to the next moment, and imagine living your whole life like that, where always this moment is never quite right, not good enough because you need to get to the next one, that is continuous stress.

Chelsea launch shock bid for Udinese striker
Chelsea have made a bid in the region of £15 million for former Watford loanee, Matej Vydra – according to Italian source, TuttoMercato.
The forward arrived at Watford last summer on loan from Udinese, along with several of his teammates from his parent club. He would make 48 appearances for the Hertfordshire-based club – achieving 22 goals and being credited with six assists.
His fine performances at Watford saw him receive the 2012/13 Championship Player of the Season award.
Despite this, the season ultimately ended in disappointment – with Gianfranco Zola's side failing to clinch Premier League promotion after playoff final defeat to Crystal Palace.
The 21-year-old began his career in the Czech Republic's second division with Vysocina Jihlava. Here, he achieved five goals in 27 appearances.
He then spent six months at Banik Ostrava in the Czech first division – scoring four times in 14 appearances – before moving to his current club, Udinese.
For Udinese, he has only made two appearances and was first loaned to Club Brugge – making only one appearance due to injury – before making his mark in the Npower Championship.
Vydra has also got two goals – both of which came against Armenia – in seven caps for the Czech Republic.
The link between the Czech international and Chelsea may come as a shock to many.
However, Vydra has a lot of potential and Jose Mourinho may be looking to invest in Chelsea's future. This could see Romelu Lukaku and Vydra making their marks as Chelsea greats in a few years but for now, they would have to settle for substitute appearances or loans to other clubs.
Vydra's pace and clinical ability in front of goal will no doubt serve Chelsea well and, along with The Blues, it can be expected that several other teams may try to acquire the young man's signature.
The only issue that arises, from the potential buy, is that Udinese are expecting a fee closer to £20 million – rather than Chelsea's initial bid of around £15m.
