In this Video I'm going to share with you How To Make Calendula Coconut Oil.
Coconut oil has thousands of uses. It's high in antioxidants, making it wonderful for both cooking and in skin care. Calendula flowers have amazing skin care properties. The flowers are antiseptic, antibacterial, and help to heal minor abrasions and wounds. They also calm inflamed skin, including the skin of both eczema and psoriasis sufferers..
Many choose to infuse calendula in oil. This way, the oil absorbs the wonderful benefits and properties of the calendula. It makes it easy to apply, and to include in skin care products like soaps, balms, and more.
Infusing calendula coconut oil is much easier than you may think. However, doing it the right way will take about 6 weeks! We promise it is worth the wait, because this infused oil will last a very long time, and has many benefits to enjoy.
To make it, fill a standard mason glass jar up 3/4 of the way with dry calendula flowers.
Separately, use a double boiler on the lowest heat setting to melt about two 1/2 cups of Virgin Coconut Oil. Fill the jar with the coconut oil. Now comes the longest part.
Replace the lid and keep it sealed, but stir the mixture once every three days. In six weeks, your concoction will be ready!
Simply strain out the flowers, and keep the infused oil in the same glass jar.
Here are just a few ways to use Calendula Coconut Oil…
If you would like an extra skin-calming body butter, use a coconut oil body butter recipe. Replace the coconut oil ingredient with your calendula coconut oil, and follow all of the same instructions.
Alternatively, you can use the oil all on its own. If you have a minor scrape or bruise, you can rub on a small amount of the oil for a quicker recovery. Take a small amount in your hands, and apply to areas with irritated or inflamed skin. This truly is a versatile skin care creation, so play with it and make as many creations as you want!

If you're anything like me then chances are you can't wait to get outside during this time of year. Whether it's for picnics, sporting events, yard work or relaxing on your patio or deck with friends and family.
Chances are, especially if you live in the south, you've seen a bug or two already.
Instead of reaching for the commercial bug spray go ahead and mix up this simple do it yourself bug spray.
Different oils repel different bugs so we'll be using a combination of essential oils to ward off several types of insects that can deliver a ferocious bite.
Here is what you'll need…
- 4 ounce spray bottle
- Start by adding one or a combination of 2 tablespoons of witch hazel and/or vodka
- Next, add 2 tablespoons of Sweet Almond Oil
- Next, add 110 drops of essential oils. Here's the combination I like:
10 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil
15 drops Lavender Oil
10 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
10 drops Geranium Essential Oil
5 drops Citronella Essential Oil
5 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
28 drops Lemongrass Essential Oil
27 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil.
Shake the bottle well and before each use.
Apply this Natural Bug Spray every couple of hours for maximum effectiveness.
Don't let the fear of being bitten by insects keep you inside this season.
Grab these essential oils and make a Natural Bug Spray that really works!
Spring Skincare Must Haves
Spring Skincare Must Haves
The season of flowers, showers, and warmer weather is finally here! I'm talking about Spring, and could not be more excited about it.
Skincare needs change with the weather and seasons, and we have some Spring skincare must haves to stock up on starting now.
Skin is a little less dry, and cool winds are not affecting our lips as much as previous months. This is great, but we still need to treat current skincare issues as well as prevent potential problems.
Moisture is important whether you're in the dead of Winter, or a hot as heck Summer. It's time to think about even more sun protection (You were doing that during Winter too-right?) and that means sunscreen! Don't worry, there is an all natural version you can make yourself. It has wonderful skincare goodness in it.
Let's review your Spring Skincare Must Haves!
Lip Balm
Lip Balm is essential for all sorts of weather, and every season. Winter may dry them out, but Summer can take it's toll as well. The sun can damage lips, so proper moisture application is key. Coconut oil based lip gloss is great! It protects and seals in moisture.
Sun protection is year round, and now is the time to get serious about it. Sunscreen lotion bars with coconut oil, shea butter, and zinc oxide powder are ultra moisturizing while protecting at the same time.
Face Cleanser
This is essential, because faces become more oily as the weather heats up. Make sure you use a gentle, DIY formula including lavender oil, the most gentle of essential oils.
It's important to exfoliate now that it is Spring. Over Winter months, you probably built up some dead skin. Sweat doesn't help either, so make sure to exfoliate regularly. A good DIY sugar scrub needs to be kept on hand!
What's on your list of Spring Skincare Must Haves?
DIY Easter Egg Bath Bombs
DIY Easter Egg Bath Bomb
Easter is just around the corner! Every holiday is a new opportunity to make some really fun and unique skincare products.
Today, we are making some DIY easter egg bath bombs – they're super easy, too. Bath bombs have ingredients that exfoliate, moisturize, and soothe skin.
That is of course, if you use all natural ingredients with wonderful skincare properties! Epsom salts, baking soda, and citric acid exfoliate and draw out toxins, while almond oil and lavender soothe and moisturize.
Are you ready for an awesome DIY recipe? Here it is!
What you need:
- 1 cup Baking Soda
- 1/2 cup Citric Acid
- 1/2 cup Corn Starch (or arrowroot powder)
- About 1/2 cup Epsom Salt (slightly more is fine)
- 1/2 cup Sweet Almond Oil
- 8-9 ml Lavender Essential Oil
- 7-10 drops of Natural Food Coloring
How to make it:
Mix all dry ingredients very well, and next mix in your almond oil. Fully incorporate the almond oil before moving on. Then, add in the essential oil and incorporate fully.
Add in your food coloring, but make sure you mix very quickly. It does cause a slight fizzing reaction, so this is why it needs to be done fairly fast.
The consistency should now be that of wet sand, but not over-saturated. You should be able to use your hands to push it together and have it stick.
Over-fill two sides of a plastic Easter egg, and then press together firmly. Excess will come out of the sides, so simply push that away.
Very gently twist off the Easter egg halves and lay the bath bomb on a towel. If it crumbles, add another tablespoon of oil to your mixture and incorporate, then try again.
Once you have your Easter egg bath bombs ready, let them dry on a towel or paper towel for a couple of days.
Voila! You now have some awesome DIY Easter Egg Bath Bombs to use whenever you'd like. Store them in a cool, dry place before use.
Shamrock Cocoa Lotion Bars
Shamrock Cocoa Lotion Bars
It's March, and almost St. Patrick's Day! It's a celebration of Irish heritage, which this country has plenty of.
In fact, I took a DNA test recently and discovered I'm 30% Irish. It's always a fun time celebrating your heritage.
I thought it would be fun to make some shamrock cocoa lotion bars, combining some of my favorite things. St. Patrick's Day lore says that St. Patrick used the three leaves of a clover to explain the holy trinity. Clovers and four leaf clovers are also symbolic of luck, and are a truly beautiful plant.
Cocoa Butter is an ultra-hydrating skincare ingredient that is very diverse. It's harder than shea butter or mango butter, making it perfect for creating lotion bars. Alright, let's make some fun shamrock cocoa lotion bars!
What you need
- Shamrock Silicone Mold
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Butter
- 1/4 cup Coconut Oil
- 25 drops Lavender Oil (or Essential Oil of your choice)
- 1-2 TBSP Green Colorant (optional)
How to make it
Use a double boiler on low-medium heat to fully melt the cocoa butter. When the cocoa butter is almost fully liquid, add in the coconut oil.
The coconut oil melts much faster than the cocoa butter, so it doesn't require as much time. Remove from the heat, and stir well.
Next, add in your colorant if you are using any, and then the lavender oil. Lavender oil truly compliments the cocoa smell beautifully!
Very carefully pour the liquid into your silicone mold. Let it sit in the freezer for a couple of hours, or the fridge for several hours.
Take them out, and carefully pop out of the molds. Store it in a sealed jar or container. Rub the shamrock cocoa lotion bars over your skin for a silky smooth experience.
Have a safe and joyous St. Patrick's Day!

Hydrating Aloe Face Cream
Hydrating Aloe Face Cream
Aloe Vera Gel is known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and cooling properties. It's a fantastic ingredient for skin care recipes, especially if you have redness or inflammation.
People put aloe vera gel on minor abrasions quite often, and even take it internally for stomach soothing benefits. Personally, I like it for the cooling and hydrating effect it has on skin!
Coconut oil mixes wonderfully with aloe vera gel to tackle all sorts of skin care issues. To make an ultra hydrating aloe face cream, you need ingredients that are all natural and high quality. For face creams especially, gentle ingredients are a must.
If you have a slight sun burn then this hydrating aloe face cream can provide a bit of relief and moisture. Aloe vera gel is considered a natural burn relieving ingredient.
We love all of the wonderful properties it has to offer! This particular recipe works best when you keep it in the fridge and scoop a small amount out by hand before applying. Hello, moisture!
What you need
- 1 cup Aloe Vera Gel
- 1/2 cup Virgin Coconut Oil
- 2 TBSP Sweet Almond Oil
- 2 TBSP Beeswax Pastilles
- 10-15 drops Lavender Essential Oil
- Air tight container such as a small jar
How to make it
Put your coconut oil, almond oil, and beeswax pastilles in a double boiler on low-medium heat. Mix well after it is fully liquid. Remove from heat and let cool for two hours in room temperature, or an hour in the fridge.
Slowly incorporate the aloe vera gel using a hand mixer after everything is cool. Add several drops at a time of your lavender, and mix again.
Transfer into your container. You can store this in room temperature, but we highly recommend using the fridge.
Because of the aloe vera gel, this recipe will last about 2-3 months, give or take. Make sure you keep it sealed and cool. Enjoy!

Ogando helps Rangers set K mark in victory
Texas pitchers combine for record 43 strikeouts in first three games
HOUSTON -- The Rangers found out what Alexi Ogando can do when he adds an effective changeup to accompany his power pitches. He can help the Rangers pitching staff make Major League history.
Ogando combined with four relievers on a five-hit shutout and 15 strikeouts in pitching the Rangers to a 4-0 victory over the Astros on Wednesday afternoon at Minute Maid Park. When Joe Nathan struck out the side in the ninth, it gave the Rangers pitchers 43 strikeouts in their first three games.
That's the most ever by a pitching staff in the first three games of the season. They broke the old mark set by the Indians in 1966.
"I didn't even know that," Nathan said. "I just know there were quite a bit of strikeouts in the series. Obviously that didn't come into play in our minds."
The victory, the day after Yu Darvish just missed a perfect game, was the Rangers' second in their season-opening three-game series against the Astros. The Rangers are off on Thursday before facing the Angels at 1:05 p.m. CT Friday in their home opener at the Ballpark in Arlington.
"We really threw the ball well," catcher A.J. Pierzynski said. "Obviously the first game got away from us, but the last two games we settled in. It's amazing when the lights turn on how good guys can get."
Ogando followed Darvish's dazzling performance by holding the Astros scoreless for 6 1/3 innings. He allowed four hits and a walk while setting a career high with 10 strikeouts. All three Rangers starters -- Matt Harrison, Darvish and Ogando -- tied or set career highs for strikeouts in a game during the series.
With Ogando, it was a matter of adding the changeup to his main repertoire of fastball and slider to keep hitters off-balance, and Pierzynski said they used the pitch more than usual on Wednesday.
"I worked hard in Spring Training on all three of my pitches," Ogando said. "Today was the result of the hard work. Today was exactly how good all three of those pitches can be."
"He was outstanding," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "We were looking for him to build on his progress in Spring Training, and he did exactly what we needed him to do. He was outstanding. He used his changeup, moved the ball in and out and had a good breaking ball. He still didn't have [total] command of his fastball. He's usually able to do that up. But he'll start dotting it up before it's all over."
Ogando, locked into a pitching duel with Astros starter Philip Humber, survived a couple key moments early in the game. The Astros' best threat against him came in the first when Jose Altuve led off with a double and then went to third as Brett Wallace grounded out to the right side. But Ogando struck out Carlos Pena and Chris Carter to end the inning.
In the third, the Astros had a runner at second and two outs when Ogando walked Wallace. Ogando then fell behind 2-0 to Pena and got a visit from Washington.
"He told me to have no fear, just throw my pitches in the strike zone," Ogando said. "I was able to be aggressive after that."
Pena ended up grounding out to end the inning, the first of nine batters in a row retired after the visit from Washington.
"I'm not miracle worker, but when I've got something to say, I'll go out and say it," Washington said. "Otherwise I'll leave it to the pitching coach."
The Rangers, scoreless through five, finally broke through in the sixth against Humber. Lance Berkman led off with a walk and singles by Adrian Beltre and David Murphy loaded the bases. Nelson Cruz followed with a broken-bat grounder up the middle that Altuve turned into a double play, allowing Berkman to come home with the first run of the game.
That was all the Rangers needed although they added three more against reliever Rhiner Cruz in the eighth inning.
Ogando, leading 1-0, was done after allowing an infield single to Justin Maxwell in the seventh. But the combination of Robbie Ross, Tanner Scheppers, Michael Kirkman and Nathan retired eight of nine hitters to give the Rangers back-to-back shutouts. Kirkman and Nathan combined to strike out the last five Astros hitters. The Astros are the first team to ever suffer back-to-back shutouts while striking out at least 15 times.
"I think yesterday was more about their guy and today was more about our guys," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "Our guys expanded the zone way too often today and it's something we need to make an adjustment, do a better job of. Even the fastballs we had an opportunity to hit in the count, we either fouled them off or didn't put them in play hard."
Ogando might have had at least something to do with that.

Bing chief Qi Lu doesn't worry that much about Bing's low market share versus Google.
At an event today announcing Bing's new social networking sidebar and other changes, Lu said that he and Microsoft consider market share to be a "lagging indicator."
In other words, when Bing makes a change, the effects don't show up in market share numbers for months.
Lu is more interested in other metrics that show up sooner.
So we asked him to give a few examples of leading indicators that show Bing is actually doing well.
He named a few:
- NDCG, which stands for "normalized discounted cumulative gain," is an accepted measurement of quality for search results.
- Blind search tests, where Bing and Google search results are placed side by side and users are asked to pick the better results.
- Market share versus vertical search engines. Lu noted that Bing does not only compete against Google, but also against vertical search engines. (An example would be Kayak for travel, although Lu didn't cite it specifically.)
- User engagement measurements, like how often people are returning to Bing after making a search there.
He also noted that while Microsoft is still way behind Google -- Bing has about 15% US market share versus Google's 66% -- it has gained share almost every month since the Bing rebrand in May 2009. (Previously, Microsoft's search engine was called Live Search.)
A lot of those gains came at the expense of Yahoo, which uses Bing search results, and was Lu's employer before he joined Microsoft in December 2008. So it's kind of a bittersweet victory, right?
Lu graciously said that he wants Bing to be a valuable partner to Yahoo, and wants to make sure that Microsoft is getting a good value out of its "investment" in the Yahoo deal. But Microsoft only provides the search results themselves.
It's up to Yahoo to design its Web site in a way to get people to conduct searches there.

We've searched Twitter to find some of the top players in the Premier League who we recommend you follow on Twitter. After reviewing these, you may think that some of them are fake accounts but we're pretty certain they're all real, or at least the vast majority are.
Here are six famous Premier League footballers on Twitter (in no specific order):
- Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) – 15,303 followers – One of the biggest names in English football is on Twitter. He's only sent 8 tweets as of press time, most of which are pretty harmless, but let's hope he gets inspired this summer and during next season to post more insightful tweets.
- Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) – 3,239 followers – "Folks asking why I'm not on facebook," said Wayne Rooney in a recent tweet. "and I prefer [Twitter] really cos it seems more of a community thing." So sayeth Rooney who gets more personal than Gerrard on Twitter. The Man United and England striker tweets mostly about his reaction to how well he played (or not) for his club and country.
- Jonathan Woodgate (Tottenham Hotspur) – 936 followers – Who doesn't love a footballer who admits on Twitter that he helped show his mother how to use YouTube? Jonathan Woodgate tweets about that experience and communicates directly with many Spurs fans showing that as well as being a classy defender, he also knows how to effectively use Twitter.
- Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United) – 1,727 followers – Whether he's basking in the sun in ridiculous shorts or being a fixture of Manchester United's defense, Ferdinand can be occasionally found tweeting. Most of his tweets are in response to questions and comments made by Manchester United supporters.
- Brad Guzan (Aston Villa) – 251 followers – The number two goalkeeper for Aston Villa takes Twitter's 140 character limit to the extreme with the majority of his posts consisting of two to three words. Nevertheless, Guzan offers some insights into his travels with the Villa and US national team.
- Peter Crouch (Portsmouth) – 51 followers – The Portsmouth and England striker has unfortunately been neglecting his Twitter account and has only posted a few times in the last several months hence the low number of followers. Let's hope "Crouchy's Having His Nachos" does better in the Twitter department during the 2009-2010 season.
Which famous Premier League footballers are missing from the list that you know are on Twitter? Post them in the comments below.
Last, but not least, be sure to follow EPL Talk on Twitter for the latest updates from me about anything and everything Premier League-related as well as a few updates now and again about what happens behind the scenes at this blog.

Reds defy logic: Aroldis Chapman going to bullpen
Barring a significant change of minds, the Reds are expected to announce today that Aroldis Chapman will close. All together now:
Bad decision
The question to be posed: What happened to the plan?
Why did the Cincinnati Reds spend $21 million on Jonathan Broxton to pitch the eighth? You're already spending big bucks on a setup guy, Sean Marshall.
Is there something wrong with Chapman? I'm not talking about shoulder fatigue from a couple years ago. If we shut down pitchers for shoulder fatigue or general pitching pains, most would never pitch. Has he not pitched well enough to justify the decision made last fall? Why not?
Does this indicate Dusty Baker calls the big shots now?
So he doesn't have a good second pitch, or a viable changeup.
You mean to tell me that a guy with his ability, in his third big league season, can not/has not learned to throw at least a decent slider? A passable change? I call BS on that. I watched his slider two years ago. You did, too. If the Reds didn't think he could master a second pitch, why did they pay him in the first place? The original idea was for to be a top of the rotation guy.
I won't go over, again, the multitude of reasons, obvious, obscure, statistical and common-sensical, that Chapman should be in the rotation. I'll add this to the party:
Having him close is a bad financial deal, too.
He's arbitration-eligible next winter. Two great closing seasons will cost the club more money than one solid season as a starter.
If he closes, the Reds will need another starter after this year, assuming this is if for Bronson Arroyo, which is a safe assumption. If Chapman had been in the rotation and done even moderately well, they'd need a middle reliever. The cash difference between those two commodities is significant.
Beyond Dusty stomping his foot and publicly lobbying, not sure what the reasoning here is for the change in plans. The Reds should be very good, regardless, between April and September. But they are bypassing a wonderful opportunity to bolster their October chances. Seemingly just so a manager can retain his security blanket.
Bad move. For no good reasons.
Daugherty writes for the Cincinnati Enquirer.

UPDATE: Liu Cloture Fails
This morning I outlined the stakes of today's seminal cloture vote on Goodwin's Liu's nomination to the Ninth Circuit. Well, now we have a result: cloture failed 52-43, with Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) joining all voting Republicans except Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) against cloture. Three Republicans plus Max Baucus (D-MT) were absent, while Orrin Hatch (R-UT) voted present because of his previous strong position against filibusters.
This is the first judicial nominee filibustered since the Gang of 14 brokered an agreement on President Bush's nominees in 2005, forestalling then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's use of the so-called nuclear option (changing Senate rules to eliminate the judicial filibuster). That agreement, to the extent it's even still valid given the changed composition of the Senate (and with five of the 14 Gang members no longer in the Senate), allowed filibusters only in "extraordinary circumstances," leaving that term undefined.
And so we may have just have witnessed the re-ignition of the war over judicial nominees. Stay tuned as to whether today's vote will come to signify the "Water-Liu"—h/t Walter Olson—for one party or another, or for our judiciary.

BlackBerry Bounceback Beat Back
Research In Motion has a new name, a new operating system and a pair of new handsets, but it's still got the same old sinking stock price.
On Thursday, shares of the smartphone pioneer continued the downward slide they began the day before, during the unveiling of its long-awaited BlackBerry 10 OS and handsets. BlackBerry shares opened down 10 percent and, at $13.21, they're down nearly 4 percent as I write this.
Why the pessimism after what seemed to be a fairly successful launch event? The estimated arrival dates of the first of BlackBerry's BB10 phones. Though the touchscreen Z10 debuted in the U.K. and will ship in Canada and the United Arab Emirates next week, it won't hit the U.S. market until March. And the Q10, a BB10 handset with a physical keyboard, won't be available anywhere until April. Later-than-expected ship dates imply smaller-than-hoped-for unit shipments, and the Street clearly finds that disappointing.
Beyond that, there are concerns about the BlackBerry ecosystem and addressable market that I mentioned earlier this morning. That said, BB10 is a vast improvement over its predecessor, and has certainly closed the gap with Apple's iOS and Google's Android. It's not hard to imagine it appealing to BlackBerry diehards looking for a next-generation device. But the legacy user base is an easy mark. Those BlackBerry users who have defected to iOS and Android over the last few years will be a far harder sell.

Swartz also focused on sociology, civic awareness and activism. In 2010 he was a member of the Harvard University Center for Ethics. He cofounded the online group Demand Progress (which recently voiced its support for Richard O'Dwyer) and later worked with US and international activist groups Rootstrikers and Avaaz.
This is the final article that I'll be posting on DCResource. As I announced on December 17th, I will moving over to Digital Photography Review in February, and this website will be "frozen in time" on January 1st, 2013.
Thanks to the hundreds of people who sent nice notes about how much they appreciated my work here. I'm glad I was able to help you find the right camera -- sometimes on several occasions. I hope you'll follow me over to my new home!
Later in the decade, things started to slow down dramatically. The economy wasn't doing well. People weren't upgrading to a new camera as often. The smartphone became the preferred photo tool for many. That reduced the number of visitors to this website, and revenue soon followed. In 2011, the amount of money coming in every month was less than my living expenses, web hosting, and other costs of doing business. I've been draining my savings account for the last 18 months to see if things would improve, but unfortunately they have not. Thus, it is with a heavy heart that I announce that the Digital Camera Resource Page will be closing its virtual doors at the end of the year. This was an incredibly difficult decision -- this site has been "my baby" since 1997 -- but I feel that it was the right one for me to make, both personally and professionally.
The good news is that I will still be writing camera reviews. Starting in late February, I will be working as a Senior Editor for Digital Photography Review, a site that needs no introduction. I'm hoping that DCRP readers will continue to enjoy reading my reviews there, now backed with more rigorous testing and analysis. I'm humbled to have the opportunity to work with the incredibly talented group of people at DPReview to make it an even better site.
The current plan is to leave the DCRP website online for the foreseeable future for archival purposes. Our forums will switch to a read-only format in the second quarter of 2013, and there will be a private forum on dpreview.com for our forum members to join.
The first camera I reviewed on the website was the Ricoh RDC-4200, which had a 1.3 Megapixel sensor, rotating lens (remember those?), and 1.8" LCD. My final review will be of the 16 Megapixel, 10X (non-rotating) optical zoom, Android-powered Nikon Coolpix S800c. What a ride it has been.
A huge thanks to all the readers who have visited over the last fifteen years -- your support has been immeasurable. I hope you'll join me over at DPReview next year!

Showalter had special bond with Weaver
BALTIMORE -- Manager Buck Showalter has become like a lot of other Baltimore fans -- he really loved Earl Weaver.
Weaver, who died this winter, apparently talked with Showalter often, something that meant a lot to the present-day Orioles manager.
"I think the biggest thing is he had time for me," Showalter said before Friday's home opener against the Twins. "He didn't have to. You could tell how much the Orioles meant to him."
Showalter and some of his players came out to watch with fans when the Orioles revealed the statue of Weaver last summer. Showalter talked that day about how excited he was to talk with Weaver.
To honor Weaver, the Orioles will wear a "4" patch on their uniforms this season. They've also got a white "4" in an orange circle in front of the team's first-base dugout -- the number Weaver wore when a coach with the Orioles (1968) and manager of the team (1968-82, 1985-86).
The team also honored Weaver during its pregame ceremony Friday with a video tribute as well as not having a first pitch, just leaving the ball on the mound in his memory.
Showalter said he was thinking about Weaver throughout the spring and will often have the Hall of Fame manager on his mind. At the club's Spring Training complex at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota, Fla., there was a "4" in front of the Orioles' dugout.
"I'd come off the mound after making a pitching change in the spring, have my head down thinking and I'd look up, and I'd almost be getting ready to step on the number, and I'd always walk around it," Showalter said. "There's a certain reverence we all had for that. He's watching today."

Cushing's disease causes the patient to build up fat in the upper body and to grow thin in the lower body. Other symptoms of this form of pituitary cancer may include weak muscles and bones, flushed face and high blood pressure.
Another type of pituitary cancer shows up as very large hands, feet and face (acromegaly). Yet another kind of tumor can cause the breasts to make milk, even though the patient is not pregnant.

Jenny is in perpetual search for easy, weeknight recipes to attempt to feed her family. When they balk, she just eats more.
There are simple answers to dinner, and then, there are insanely simple answers. Enter Maple-Cardamom Glazed Salmon. You brush a sweet little overcoat of maple syrup on your main man, Mr. Delicious Salmon and cook him. The end.
But wait I have more to say!
The first thing you will notice is that our author has tied together a sultry, nectarous adhesive with an array of woody spices that work together effortlessly -- I am talking Lyle Lovett and his large band.
(Although I am told there is some sort of equal symmetry with the boys of the ambiguously named One Direction. I would ponder further musical metaphors but there is at this very moment a woman in a black muscle shirt walking through the gate where I am sitting in the Chicago airport carrying a banjo, so I am distracted.)
What alasully has for you here is a recipe in which you take apart your fish, glaze it with maple syrup, cardamom and paprika and gently place it on the skillet, where it cooks somewhat rapidly, skin side down. I have no doubt in this method.
Here was mine, with my 2 pound fish for guests. I rubbed it with my lovely spices, held together with my new discovery at the Bethesda Farmer's Market -- Wildwood's Hickory Syrup produced from hickory bark, which is excellent for savory dishes and I am guessing, though I have to try it, on a hot stack on pancakes, too.
Then, I placed my fish on a foil-lined pan in a 425 degree oven and checked it often, removing it after about 13 minutes. Your time will vary with the thickness of your fish and how pink you like your interior. Your salmon, resting gingerly like so much silk on the fork, will soon be waiting. That surprise of cardamom is going to get you, I mean that in a good way, as is the familiar paprika (I used smoked just to get all daring on a Sunday night) boosted by the syrup.
Delicious. Guest worthy. Week-night easy. Okay now I am done.

The final week of 2010 brings us two of our favorite films of the year: one about a very successful marriage, the other about a marriage slowly to falling pieces. Both films feature brilliant acting, great scripts and fantastic direction, and will likely be in play come Oscar time.
"Another Year"
From writer-director Mike Leigh comes one of the best films of his storied career. It stars Jim Broadbent and Ruth Sheen as Tom and Gerri, a married couple playing host to friends and family in four vignettes, one for each season of the year -- and life. Lesley Manville's performance as Gerri's best friend has been earning rave reviews and awards from all corners. In limited release Wednesday, read our review and watch the trailer
"Blue Valentine"
Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling prove yet again that they're two of their generation's best with a pair of fearless performances as Cindy and Dean, a couple whose marriage unravels right before your eyes. The pain of the break-up is made all the more real by being interspersed with moments from their courtship seven years earlier. Thanks to an impassioned plea from Harvey Weinstein, this fantastic film, from writer-director Derek Cianfrance, narrowly avoided the death sentence that comes with an X rating. In limited release Wednesday, read our review and watch the trailer
"The Red Chapel"
By turns funny, sad, bleak and bizarre, documentarian Mads Brugger uses two Danish-Koreans, one a comedian, the other a self-identified "spastic," as decoys to get his cameras inside Kim Jong-il's Hermit Kingdom, for an all to rare look at life in Pyongyang. In New York City Wednesday, read our review and watch the trailer

CHICAGO, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Corey Perry ricocheted a wrist shot into the net in the second round of the shootout round Tuesday to notch Anaheim's 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Perry clanged the game-winner off the left post and Viktor Fasth turned away Brandon Sadd on Chicago's final attempt.
The victory was the second in a row for Anaheim. Chicago saw its winning streak end a four.
Fasth stopped 28-of-30 shots and won his sixth consecutive game. He is the first NHL goaltender to win his first six starts since Dan Ellis of Dallas in 2007.
Corey Crawford notched 29 saves for the Blackhawks. Sadd and Nick Leddy both scored in regulation.
Ryan Getzlaf gave Anaheim a 1-0 lead at 3:33 of the second period. The Ducks' Andrew Cogliano tied the score 2-2 on a tip-in at 17:20 of the third period.

Directed by Peter Zinn (Holy Days, Retro Productions; Rumspringa, 45 Bleecker), the 6-time 2010 New York Innovative Theatre Award nominated company brings Benefactors back to New York City November 3 - 20, 2010.Set against the backdrop of the 1960s new housing projects in London, Benefactors centers on an idealistic architect David, his wife Jane and their relationship with their cynical friend Colin and his wife Sheila. David is attempting to build new homes to replace the "twilight area" housing of Basuto Road and is gradually forced by the housing council into designing skyscrapers despite his aversion to them. Sheila becomes his secretary, but when Colin leaves her and their children to squat in Basuto Road and wage battle against the proposed project, it is unclear if Sheila is helping David and Jane or the other way around.
Benefactors has an ensemble four person cast made up of acclaimed indie theater actors: Heather E.

Gurney. Their first season in residence at The Spoon Theater garnered six 2008 New York Innovative Theatre Award nominations: two for performance and four for design, a New York Magazine 'Off-off Broadway pick' and the growing reputation of 'the finished effect of a Retro Production' (The Fab Marquee, Mill Fire). Retro's fourth season included The Tender Trap, called "a powerful display of New York's dramatic talent," (offoffonline) and the celebrated revival of When You Comin' Back Red Ryder?. Retro Productions started their fifth season with Sally Nemeth's Holy Days, Directed by Peter Zinn, "Retro Productions is a force of nature...[Holy Days] is everything that is great about American theatre." - nytheatre.com, and concluded it with the six-time New York Innovative Theatre Award nominated, The Desk Set.

LG was not the first manufacturer to incorporate a touch-screen interface with a QWERTY keyboard on a phone, but it has been one of the most successful. We were really pleased with the LG enV Touch from Verizon Wireless, and the LG Xenon from AT&T Wireless wasn't too bad, either. Now LG has made yet another touch-screen keyboard combo, and this time it's the LG Tritan, which is available from Alltel and U.S. Cellular. We weren't terribly pleased with the touch-screen interface, but we were impressed with the keyboard design, the customizable home screens, and the multimedia features. The LG Tritan is available for less than $80 for both carriers with a mail-in rebate–Alltel requires a one-year contract, while U.S. Cellular requires a two-year agreement for that price.
Like most touch-screen phones, the LG Tritan is dominated by a large display on the front. Measuring 4.45 inches long by 2.24 inches wide by 0.65 inch thick, the Tritan is fairly blocky because of its girth, but it does have curved corners, making it feel comfortable in the hand. It's also quite heavy at 5.03 ounces, which would probably weigh your pockets down.
The display is generous at 3-inches diagonal. It looks quite stunning, thanks to the 262,000 color support and the 240×400-pixel resolution. Graphics appear rich with color and detail, and both images and text look tack sharp. When the phone is idle, a screen overlay displays the date and time information, any missed calls or messages, plus a rundown of the day's schedule. You can adjust the display's backlight time, brightness, menu style, and both the font type and the dial font size. The LG Tritan also has a built-in accelerometer that will tilt the display from portrait to landscape mode and vice versa.
The LG Tritan has not one, but four home screens. You can switch between them by swiping your finger horizontally across the screen, and you can tell what screen you're on by the header at the top. There is the Main home screen that has a customizable greeting banner plus date and time information. The Widgets home screen houses widgets, application shortcuts, and browser bookmarks. The Contacts home screen holds your favorite contacts. And the Multimedia home screen keeps your favorite media files. For the Widgets, Contacts, and Multimedia home screens, you can select an "Align" icon on the upper right to snap the icons to a grid.
To add a widget or a shortcut to the Widgets home screen, simply tap the little arrow on the bottom left of the screen to reveal a tray of selectable icons. If you don't see the widget or shortcut of your choice in the tray, you can select the folder with the plus symbol on it to access the phone's entire menu of widgets, applications, and browser bookmarks. From there, just select the widgets and shortcuts you want added to the tray. You can then drag and drop icons to the home screen. If you like, you can choose to launch the widget or shortcut directly from the tray–you do this by tapping firmly on the icon until you feel a vibration. To remove the widget or shortcut from the home screen, hold down the icon, and then drag it to an empty folder icon on the right.
For the Contacts home screen, just select one of the three tabs on the right, and then select your favorite contact from your contacts list. That contact will automatically show up on the Contacts home screen, with their photo as the icon. You can have up to six contacts per tab, giving you a total of 18 possible favorite contacts accessible from the Contacts home screen. If you tap a contact's icon, you'll see four shortcuts surrounding it leading to a new text message, that person's contact information, a delete option, and a new phone call. Underneath the three tabs on the right is a messaging shortcut that prompts you to select which favorite contact you want to send a new message.
The Multimedia home screen is similar to the one for Contacts. There are three tabs on the right; when you tap a tab, you'll be prompted to select an image, music file, or video to be added to the Multimedia home screen. To remove a shortcut, simply drag and drop the icon to the trash bin icon.
All home screens have four shortcut icons along the bottom that correspond to the messaging menu, the phone dialer, the main menu, and the contacts list. You can also tap the top part of each home screen to reveal rotating shortcut tiles that lead to the Bluetooth toggle, a new text message, the alarm clock, memory information, sound settings, the location toggle, and power save mode.
As for the touch-screen interface, overall, we have mixed feelings about it. We definitely like the haptic feedback that gives a vibration to let us know when our touch has registered–you can even adjust the strength and length of the vibration, plus the type and volume of the vibration's sound effect. You also get a Touch Calibration wizard to ensure accuracy and a Thumbpad Effect setting to adjust the touch response time. Still, we have to say that there's a learning curve involved. We would often activate something by mistake, often when scrolling through lists or when selecting an icon to drag and drop. The touch screen is just not as intuitive or responsive as we would like.
This is why we're rather glad to see real physical keys underneath the touch screen. There are the Talk key, the Back or Speakerphone key, and the End/Power key. To the far right is a navigation joystick that is handy for scrolling through long lists and for surfing the Web–you can use it to move around the cursor and for scrolling through large Web pages. As handy as it is though, we thought the joystick was set a bit too deeply in the body of the phone, making it slightly difficult to maneuver at times.
Going back to the touch screen for a bit, the phone dialer application has nice big virtual keys, so it was easy to dial numbers. If you want to type out a text message via the touch screen, the Tritan offers up two options–a virtual number keypad for ABC or T9 input, or a virtual QWERTY keyboard when you tilt the phone to landscape mode.
But of course, it's far easier to just use a physical QWERTY keyboard. Slide the phone to the right, and you'll reveal a full four-line QWERTY keyboard on the left. When you do this, you'll get a special home screen in landscape mode. This home screen features five rotating shortcuts to a new text message, a new picture message, the Web browser, U.S. Cellular's EasyEdge portal (on the U.S. Cellular version), and the notepad. The keyboard itself is quite roomy and easy to use–all the keys are raised above the surface, which makes for quick typing as well.

Cruz vs. Rubio on immigration
Ted Cruz is at odds with Marco Rubio over immigration legislation.
The two have much in common as first-term senators elected with the help of the tea party from states with large Latino populations. Both have Cuban roots and are considered rising GOP stars and prospective presidential rivals. But the pair is divided on immigration legislation — a key difference that could have significant ramifications for their party and political ambitions.
Story Continued Below
( Quiz: Do you know Marco Rubio?)
The Texas freshman is sharply critical of the pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants, a central part of the bipartisan bill that Rubio helped write. Cruz is weighing whether to aggressively oppose the immigration overhaul, a decision that could neutralize Rubio's outreach to conservative activists in order to minimize their opposition.
Cruz hasn't yet decided whether to become the face of the opposition. But if he does, the Texan could burnish his conservative credentials and establish himself as a right-wing foil to Rubio as well as Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — who has expressed support for legalizing undocumented immigrants — in a potential 2016 bid.
But if Cruz were to lead the fight against the comprehensive plan, it could also spark a revolt from the large — and growing — population of Texas Hispanics who opposed his candidacy in large numbers in 2012. Cruz's thinking will be on fresh display Monday, when witnesses testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee could be subjected to his prosecutorial style of questioning.
The Cruz-Rubio divide underscores the soul-searching within the GOP over immigration reform as Republicans continue to ask themselves: Should they soften their opposition to a comprehensive plan after witnessing a mass erosion of support from Latino voters in recent election cycles? Or should they stand firm and defeat any bill that could provide "amnesty" to millions of illegal immigrants and instead mainly demand tougher border security laws?
( Quiz: Do you know Ted Cruz?)
So far, Cruz has yet to emerge as the chief opponent of the Senate bipartisan proposal.
For now, the firebrand Texas conservative is launching a carefully calibrated critique of the bill, calling for a focus on consensus items like border security and changes to current law that would help legal immigrants enter the country more quickly — all the while attacking the proposed pathway to citizenship for those living here illegally.
Last week, Cruz repeatedly avoided talking to reporters about the newly unveiled immigration plan authored by Rubio and seven other senators, saying he was still reviewing it and was instead focused on fighting gun control legislation.
But speaking to a few reporters late last week in the Capitol, Cruz did raise concerns over the pathway to citizenship — even as he avoided calling it "amnesty," as conservative critics are quick to do.
( PHOTOS: At a glance: The Senate immigration plan)
Cruz said he was still reading the bill, but if it is "conditioned" on a pathway to citizenship, it makes it "quite likely" Congress will defeat it.
"President Obama wants a political issue more than he wants to pass a bill," Cruz said bluntly. "And I think that's unfortunate. I think right now, the single greatest impediment of common-sense immigration reform passing is President Obama, because I think there's a consequence of insisting on a path to citizenship: It makes it far more likely that immigration reform will be voted down altogether, and that would be a very unfortunate outcome."
Asked if he thought Rubio had been duped by Obama into backing a bill with a pathway to citizenship, Cruz praised his fellow Republican for having "worked very hard" to produce the 844-page measure, which he said has some "good positive steps."

Second to none: Marlins win it all
The Marlins rose from the ashes, going from 10 games under .500 on May 22 to winning the Wild Card race. Then they won the exciting Division Series and NLCS, capping off their incredible run with a World Series triumph over the Yankees. Full story >
It looked like an upset, but it wasn't
For most of the known world, what happened in Yankee Stadium on Saturday night will be regarded as an upset of global, maybe even galactic, proportions. The Florida Marlins, though, did not quite see it the same way. They just figured that the better team won. Full story >
Molding the Marlins into champions
The reshaping of the Marlins into a championship team began last November when GM Larry Beinfest pulled off a blockbuster, three-team trade with the Rockies. Full story >

Lancaster General Hospital, Participating in Global Investigational Trial, Implants First Electrical Stimulation Device
LANCASTER, PA--(Marketwire - Dec 19, 2012) - Vascular surgeons and electrophysiologists at Lancaster General Hospital are participating in a new study to find out whether nerve stimulation can relieve heart failure symptoms as well as slow the progression of this prevalent disease.
The INOVATE-HF global investigational clinical trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of the CardioFit® system designed to improve the heart function in patients with heart failure, is being conducted here locally by the hospital's Heart & Stroke Foundation.
Roy Small, M.D., director of Heart Failure Services, who is leading the study at LGH, said the new electrical device is the first to treat the heart through nerve stimulation, a completely new mechanism of action. "A growing body of research is demonstrating a connection between the heart and brain that could benefit heart failure patients," he explained. "The study is being conducted to learn whether the device will ease heart failure symptoms and reverse deterioration."
Steven P. Woratyla, M.D., who is chief, division of Vascular Surgery, and Seth Worley, an eclectrophysiologist and director of the LGH's Interventional Implant Program, implanted the first CardoFit system in a 66-year-old man on Tuesday, Dec. 18. Dr. Worley said the device is implanted under the skin of the chest and attached to the heart, like a pacemaker, and is also connected to a nerve in the neck. "It works by sending electrical pulses to the vagus nerve, which sends signals to the heart, that helps regulate and lessens the stress on the heart."
While Dr. Worley will implant the sensing lead into the heart, Dr. Woratyla will surgically implant the stimulation lead around the vagus nerve in the neck.
"Early experiments with the device show promise of being able to significantly improve the patient's heart function and quality of life when used with standard treatments," said Dr. Woratyla. "The study will tell us whether the combination of the implanted device and medical therapy is more effective than medical therapy alone in treating congestive heart failure."
The procedure will be performed in the hospital's new Hybrid Operating Room, The Lancaster Heart & Vascular Institute's latest technological offering. The Hybrid OR is designed to combine the capabilities of a cardiac catheterization lab with a cardiac surgery operating room for patients who need complex cardiovascular surgeries.
Patients participating in the study must be age 18 or older, diagnosed with congestive heart failure and suffering from heart failure symptoms, such as shortness of breath or fatigue despite treatment, with a combination of medicines.
For more information, or for persons interested in taking part in the study, please call Heart Failure Clinical Trials at 717-290-6681.
About Heart Failure
HF currently affects approximately 23 million people worldwide and is diagnosed in two million new cases each year, according to World Market Research. The leading cause of hospitalization in people over age 65, HF is also the most rapidly growing cardiovascular disorder in the United States (American Heart Association). Most HF patients are treated with prescription drugs that are successful at managing select symptoms but are ultimately unable to stop HF deterioration. CardioFit was developed to address this unmet clinical need by directly activating a specific part of the body's nervous system (called the "parasympathetic" nervous system) to reduce stress on the heart, thereby alleviating HF symptoms and reversing HF deterioration. It operates by stimulating the vagus nerve on the right side of the neck.
About CardioFit
The safety and performance of the CardioFit have been validated in a 32-patient, multi-center, pilot clinical study conducted in Germany, Italy, The Netherlands and Serbia. Study data showed that patients experienced sustained significant improvement across key clinical measures including left ventricular function and structure, heart rate variability, and resting heart rate. Patients also showed improvement in self-reported quality of life surveys and six-minute hall walk tests. The results of this pilot study supported BioControl Medical's filing for CE mark certification to market and sell CardioFit in the European Union, which it was granted in December 2008.

GORHAM, Maine—After sticking with the defending Little East Conference champions for over 32 minutes, UMass Boston women's basketball (13-13) fell just short, in a season-ending 53-45 loss to second-seeded University of Southern Maine (19-7) in the Little East Conference Quarterfinals.
The seventh-seeded Beacons trailed by just two at the halftime and were within four at the midway point of the second half, before the Huskies went on a 10-1 run to take control of the contest.
Tuesday night's contest marked the final game for seniors Andrea Suffredini (Milford, Mass.), Elisa Ogawa (Yamanashi, Japan) and Shelby Buck (Greenfield, Ohio). The trio wrap up their careers as the second-most successful class in program history with 48 career victories.
Suffredini, Ogawa and junior Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) teamed up to score nearly three-quarters of the Beacons' points in the contest with 33 of UMB's 45 points.
Morrison led the way with 13 points and seven rebounds, while Suffredini added 12 points and six assists. Ogawa recorded a team-high three steals and added seven rebounds and eight points.
Junior Rebecca Knight led the hosts with a game-high 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting, while Mariah Callender registered eight points and three steals. Hannah Fenwick helped Southern Maine earn a huge advantage on the boards with 11 of the Huskies' 35 total rebounds.
Despite turning the ball over 24 times and losing the rebounding battle (35-25), the Beacons kept themselves in the game behind the strength of their 3-point shooting. UMass Boston knocked down a season-high 46.7 percent (7-for-15) of their 3-pointers, behind multiple threes from Suffredini (three), Ogawa and Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.).
Despite opening the game on a 7-2 run in the opening five minutes, Southern Maine found itself in a dogfight with the Beacons late in the opening stanza.
With points at a premium, the Huskies led the Beacons 22-19 with 1:52 to play on a pair of free throws from Knight, before Suffredini canned one of her three three-pointers of the game to tie the score at 22 all. Suffredini's three was the third for the Beacons in the final six minutes of the half. The Huskies were able to take a slim 24-22 lead at the break in their final possession as Knight hit a cutting Fenwick for a lay-in with 33 second to play, before Fenwick came up with a block on the Beacons final possession of the half. Ogawa helped keep the Beacons in the contest throughout the first half, with all eight of her points coming in the opening stanza.
The game remained tight in the first 10 minutes of the second half and the Beacons trailed the Huskies by just four points, 35-31, with 10:11 to play following a layup from freshman Mallory Nelson (Topsham, Maine). However, the Huskies used a 10-1 run over the next four minutes to grab its largest lead of the game, 45-32, with 5:48 to play. Four different players scored for the Huskies, highlighted by steal and a fast-break layup from Callender for a traditional three-point play.
UMass Boston made a push over the next three minutes with a 12-4 spurt. Perra and Suffredini bookended the run with three-pointers, while Morrison added six points in the middle. After Suffredini's three with 2:08 to play, the Beacons trailed USM 49-44.
Both teams squandered possession over then next 1:30 and Suffredini made it a four-point, 49-45, game with 32 second to play with one of two free throws, before the Huskies closed out the game on the line with Erin McNamara and Callender each hitting two free throws for the 53-45 final.

The road that links Perth's domestic and international airports, and parts of a shopping centre in the city's southern suburbs have been closed after suspicious mail items were found.
Sections of the Riverton Forum Shopping Centre were evacuated after suspicious piece mail was found at the electorate offices of WA Premier Colin Barnett and Treasurer Mike Nahan.
That followed the discovery of three suspicious items at the Australia Post depot on Boud Avenue, Redcliffe, which links the two airports.
The suspicious items at the mailing centre near Perth Airport were analysed, and confirmed not to contain dangerous substances, police said in a statement.
A spokesman for Mr Nahan said he was not in his office at the time.
Employees at the mail sorting depot and other nearby businesses were evacuated as the police tactical response group's bomb unit investigated.
The items at the depot were deemed to be suspicious because of threatening words written on them, police said.
One was addressed to The West Australian newspaper.
At least three of the mail items contain a powder-like substance.
Police spokesman Sam Dinnison said officers were investigating whether they had the same origin "given the timing".
Road blocks have been set up on Boud Avenue and Dunreath Drive in Redcliffe, although both airports can still be reached via other roads.
Mr Dinnison said police would look into whether any other suspicious items may have already been delivered.

Obama picks REI chief for Interior
President Barack Obama announced Wednesday that he is nominating Sally Jewell, president and CEO of the outdoor and recreational retailer REI, to replace Ken Salazar as Interior secretary.
Obama called Jewell a "strong and capable leader," saying she's "an expert on the energy and climate issues that are going to shape our future. … She knows the link between conservation and good jobs."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Obama's second-term Cabinet picks)
At a 15-minute White House rollout with the president, Jewell said she was "humbled" and "energized" by the appointment.
"I'm going to do my best to fill those big boots of yours," Jewell told Salazar. Drawing laughter from the audience, she added, "but I think I might get lost in your hat."
The pick, first reported by The Washington Post, would be well-received by environmental groups yet also offers something for the oil and gas industry: Jewell is a board member of the National Parks Conservation Association and was a young petroleum engineer at Mobil before it merged with Exxon.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama nominates Jewell: Full transcript)
POLITICO reported last week that Jewell had emerged as a serious candidate for the job. But in selecting her, Obama is bypassing potential candidates with longer political résumés, such as former Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, along with internal department favorites such as Deputy Secretary David Hayes.
Jewell's selection drew immediate support from conservation advocates as well as from some oil and gas industry supporters who have criticized Obama's policies on energy production. But some industry groups weren't yet ready to endorse her, and one House Republican subcommittee chairman expressed concern about REI's ties to environmental groups with "radical political agendas."
"Sally Jewell has the mind of an engineer, the heart of an environmentalist and the know-how of a businesswoman," said a statement from Natural Resources Defense Council President Frances Beinecke, who is regarded as one of the most influential environmental advocates on climate policy, while Wilderness Society President Jamie Williams called Jewell "a tremendous leader for conservation at every level."
"Sally Jewel has combined her business acumen with her love of the outdoors to become one of America's top CEOs," said Rep. Ed Markey of Massachusetts, the leading Democrat on the Natural Resources Committee. "She is proof positive that common sense, balanced conservation of our open spaces and natural resources can enrich communities, improve quality of life and create jobs."

A rich, exclusive collection of the world's best family history periodicals
D. Joshua Taylor, Lead Genealogist at findmypast
A rich, exclusive collection of the world's best family history periodicals
The PERiodical Source Index (PERSI) enables you to easily locate key information about people and places. It contains over 2.5 million entries from thousands of historical, genealogical and ethnic publications, making it an invaluable, comprehensive family history resource.
PERSI provides a simple way to access articles, photos, and other material you might not find using traditional search methods. This can help to build the historical context around your personal research, and the world your ancestors lived in.
Most of PERSI's articles are from periodicals covering the United States and Canada, but you can also find thousands of genealogy and local history entries (in both English and French) from Britain, Ireland and Australia.
Articles fall under twenty-two different subject headings, or record types. These include biography, cemeteries, census records, church records, court records, deeds, institutions, land records, maps, military records, naturalization records, obituaries, passenger lists, probate records, school records, tax records, vital records, voter records, and wills. Article about three or fewer specific families are arranged by surname.
PERSI is crucial in identifying research, records and transcriptions that might not be found in any other print or online source. It also is key to locating "orphan" data – information relating to locations distinct from the periodicals they appear in.
Never underestimate the value of genealogical and historical content from periodicals as a research tool. The fantastic resources available on PERSI contain over a third of the data available for discovering specific research, building contexts, and providing leads for further investigation.
Digital images of articles in the PERiodical Source Index (PERSI) will be increasingly accessible, thanks to findmypast's partnership with the Federation of Genealogical Societies. Growing numbers of genealogical and historical organizations nationwide are joining the initiative to digitize and provide access to their local publications, including quarterlies, newsletters and other serials, on the PERSI index.
If the articles you would like to study are not yet available as linked issues to PERSI, there are many other avenues you can try. Contacting the publisher of the periodical containing the article you're interested in can be a quick and cheap means of accessing photocopies, digital copies, and complete issues. You might even find that the publisher covers other materials that relate to your ancestral research, and discover more useful information.
Alternatively, you might find the periodical in a library or other research repository in your area. Try searching your local library's online catalog. If the title does not appear there, search OCLC's WorldCat.org. WorldCat is the largest bibliographic database in the world, and can generate a list of libraries local to you that own a particular item.
Finally, you can engage the research services of the Allen County Public Library's Genealogy Center and order a copy of your periodical article. An "Article Request Form" can be completed at: http://genealogycenter.org/docs/default-source/resources/articlerequest.pdf?sfvrsn=2
It's a good idea to obtain the entire article for any additional information it includes, such as notes and sources, related family data and important background information and context.
