GenGuide is completely non-profit and I enjoy looking out for new resources and keeping the site up to date. I do this for nothing because family history research is all about helping each other. However the cost of maintaining GenGuide means I need your help as well, especially with the site hosting costs.
Obviously not everyone can or will donate but your donation will help keep GenGuide running for yourself and others.
Army - Casualty Lists, Other Ranks before and after WWI (Military)
Nature of Source
Listing of men discharged due to wounds or killed in action. The records found in the series held at The National Archives include the Muster Master List General's Index of Casualties covering 1797 to 1817 which includes discharges due to wounds, death, illness, desertion, taken prisoner of war or simply transferred to another battalion or regiment.
The lists are arranged by regiment. Also look for war memorials with many online at the Debt of Honour Register produced by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
War Office Lists were compiled on a daily basis and printed weekly. The lists carry details of wounded and missing officers and other ranks as well details of those that died or were captured as prisoners of war. The lists can be viewed on microfilm at British Library Newspapers in Colindale. The lists were also published by the Times newspaper which can be searched online at The Times Digital Archive, available at many libraries and by The Scotsman which can be searched at The Scotsman Digital Archive.
Service records for all ranks who served after 1920 remain with the Ministry of Defence with each military service maintaining its own record office. The Veterans UK web site provides contact details of where to apply for service records for each of the services.

Student Wounded During Ocala, Florida School Shooting
A teen boy was shot in the ankle at Forest High School in Ocala, Florida on Friday morning.
Students at Forest High School in Ocala, Florida had a scary start to the day.
One student was injured in a school shooting on Friday morning. That student, a male, was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, according to the Associated Press. He was shot in the ankle and his injuries are not life-threatening. He is 17 years old, according to the Ocala Star-Banner.
The suspected shooter is in custody and has yet to be identified. He is not believed to be a student according to the Ocala Star-Banner.
Friday marks the anniversary of 19th anniversary of the massacre at Columbine High School in Colorado, and students across the country walked out of class on Friday morning to protest gun violence. It is unclear if the shooting in Ocala coincided with any marches at the school.
Chris Oliver, a man whose 16-year-old son is a Forest student, relayed what his son told him to the Ocala Star-Banner. According to Olivier, the shooting happened near his classroom and the alleged shooter shot at a closed classroom door before dropping his weapon and running to hide.
Worried parents have gathered around the school, looking for their children.
Students are being bused to the First Baptist Church of Ocala, according to a statement from the Marion County Sheriff's Office. Other schools in the district are on code red as a precaution.
This is a developing story.

text: Torn (The Caregiver Book 2) – Chapter 3 Another sneak peek! This book is being edited by the lovely Stacia Rogan (check out her website, she rocks!). This isn't the final version of the text but I know I've kept you waiting for too long, so here it is. Enjoy! Read Chapter 1, Chapter 2. Chapter 3 "Come on, scumbag. Blow that motherfucker's head off!" My grandfather's voice was always grave, always loud. The famous Adrian Lang couldn't drop the attitude for nothing. I pulled the machine gun's trigger. Ratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatat. Clickclickclickclick. I shot him a glance. He was standing close behind me, sucking on a cigar as he walked towards the card and studied it. "So?" "You know better than talking to me like that." Anger made my face go red. For a moment I thought he'd stride to my side and slap me across the face, like he usually did. This time he stood his ground. "You're not quite there yet." The machine gun felt hot in my hand. I looked down, saw my distressed jeans, and realized I was no more than sixteen years old. He shifted towards me on the balls of his feet, his hand making a fist. Here it comes, I thought. However, before I knew it, the machine gun went off again. I couldn't stop it as it shot a whole round directly into his belly, cutting him in half. Blood splattered the card and the floor as both his halves slid to the ground. "Nice one." A voice came from behind, one that made my knees wobble. Ferdinand —my ex-boyfriend, coworker at the Interpol, and messenger of my guilty conscience— was standing behind me, his eyes fixed on me. "Ferdinand? You're dead." "You just can't help hurting the ones who love you." "He hated me. You knew that." He shook his head slowly. "Not at all, Scarlett. Not at all." Then the machine gun went on again and… I woke up with a jolt, gasping for air. I frantically surveyed the place with my eyes. It had been a week already and I was out of the intensive care unit and in a private, more comfortable room. "What the fuck?!" I tried to sit but my left wrist was bound to the bed. "Whoa!" Johanna jumped to my side. "You're all right." "I am not! I'm tied to this…" I trailed off as another face came to view, one that made me frown. "You were pulling on your bandages in your sleep." Jimmy stood at the feet of the bed, one hand on his hip, pulling his suit jacket back and giving me a clear view of the gun holstered inside. "How long have you been here?" "And hour maybe? You were already bound so don't go thinking it was my idea." "I was worried you'd actually rip it off." Johanna hastened to release me. Once my hand was free I rubbed my wrist. The bandage around my right shoulder didn't lend me much mobility, but it didn't hurt as bad anymore. My left arm, on the other hand, didn't hurt at all. The bed was already in an almost sitting position, so I just pushed myself up with my left hand while keeping my right arm close to my torso. "What time is it?" "Almost noon." Jimmy answered before Johanna could even look at her watch. "I don't have much time." "I'm starving." I said under my breath as I tried to pull the blanket over my chest. "I'll see what I can do about that." Johanna grinned at me, but I could tell Jimmy's presence was unsettling for her. "That would be very nice of you." I smiled back, trying to ease her. "Mr. Gordon won't be here too long. Right?" "Not at all." He looked annoyed. Johanna nodded at him and scurried away. Jimmy waited until the door was completely shut to stand on the spot Johanna had vacated and speak. "Got yourself a lackey?" "They let you bring your toys in here, Jimmy?" "I'm an agent. Remember? Heard Armand made it out alive. Is that true?" "So they say. I bet you knew about Romulus' plan." "No. I didn't. Never thought he'd try to get Armand killed." "Some people don't take blackmailing lightly." I avoided his glance and proceeded. "Are you here to arrest me or something? Bet the hospital is surrounded." "It is, but, no. I'm not here to arrest you. Still undercover. Desmond is alive and giving orders from jail." "Is that so?" "We've already had to deal with a lot of fallen men. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" "Not a thing." He scoffed. "Armand's forgotten about you so quickly? You've been here what? A week?" "He's just waiting for the right moment to get me out of here." "What makes you so sure?" I twisted my head towards him and, even through the pain in my shoulder, held his stare. "What makes you think he won't?" "Come on, Scarlett. You can't possibly think he's in love with you." Now that made me angry. "What the fuck, Jimmy? What did I ever do to you?" "I'm not here as a cop or as one of MacGowan's henchmen." His tone turned grave as he spoke through his clenched teeth. "I'm here as Ferdinand's best friend. You hurt him, Scarlett; never forget that. He worried about you even when he knew you didn't love him as much as he loved you. I'm here because he made me swear I'll protect you if he was gone. He knew he'd die, he felt it coming. And even then, he only thought of you, of your safety. Is this how you repay him? Killing Romulus so you can run away with that bastard?" "You better not talk about Armand that way ever again." "What are you to him, really? Any female agent we sent into that mission would've ended up in bed with him. Haven't thought about that, have you?" "Fuck you, Jimmy. I don't need this." I tried to hit him with the back of my left fist but he caught my wrist midair. "No, Scarlett. You have to wake up. You've fucked yourself and I can help you." "Fucked myself? More like saved myself." "You have no idea what you're talking about." "We're expendable, Jimmy. Never forget that. Romulus was a piece of shit." I tried to free my arm from his grip but before I could do anything the heel of his other hand connected with my right shoulder. "Aaaagh!" The pain made my eyes water as I jerked back, gasping for air. "Fuuuuuck!" "To this day I still ask myself what the hell it was Ferdinand saw in you." He rummaged in his pocket for something, produced a photo, and held it to my face. "This is what he was saving you from. This is the reason MacGowan wanted to abduct you. And this is the reason you'll be dead soon enough if you don't accept my offer." I recognized Cisneros' and MacGowan's faces in the picture, yet it was the third one that made my insides churn, making me want to run for the bathroom and puke my guts out. Only that getting on my feet wouldn't be an easy thing to do and I knew I wouldn't make it on time if I tried. Measuring my options, I opted for swallowing hard. "That's right." Jimmy shoved the photo back into his pocket. "Xavi Pontevedra is in London and he's here to kill you." This changed everything. Xavi Pontevedra, the man who had held me captive in a brothel during the Gibraltar mission, was out of jail, seeking revenge, while I was bound to a hospital bed. "There's so much you don't know, Scarlett." "And you're going to tell me?" "All in due time." "Fuck off then!" Jimmy left, leaving me huffing and puffing both from the pain and the desperation that overcame me. At least he won't get to me here with the police guarding this goddamn place, I thought as I pressed the nurse's call button. **** Share this:TweetShare on TumblrEmailPrintLike this:Like Loading...

Over the course of hundreds of scuba dives, marine biologist Ayana Elizabeth Johnson fell in love -- with a fish. In this ode to parrotfish, she shares five reasons why these creatures are simply amazing (from their ability to poop white sand to make colorful "wardrobe changes") and shows what's at stake -- for us and them -- as climate change threatens the future of coral reefs.

The public health atrocity that was Seattle's "gum wall" has finally been expunged after some 20 years as the world's second most germ-laden tourist attraction.
A small work crew with a big job moved in with gurneys and began blasting away the estimated million pieces of gum that had accumulated in the Pike Place Market's Post Alley.
Described by locals as an "organism" that offered an "interactive" tourism experience, the wall's "organic birth" dates to the early '90s, when people waiting in line to visit the Market Theatre began using gum to stick pennies to the walls of the alley.
"What started as a very improvisational act by theatre-goers turned into an international attraction," Market Ghost Tours owner Mecedes Carrabba told KUOW after the sticky end was announced last week.
The decision was met with a flood of nostalgia from people who had visited the wall, from smitten newlyweds to degenerate drunks who, apparently on the brink of total mental collapse, were known to sometimes eat the gum late at night.
But all that "history" has been erased today, thanks to the purifying power of steam wielded by two noble fellows in hazmat suits, who took to the brick with a rake after blasting the gum away, sending a minty, fruity stench wafting down the alley.
"Awww," the LA Times reports a passer-by saying as the gum melted away.
Oscar Wilde's tomb in Paris will now likely move up TripAdvisor's list of the world's filthiest tourist spots, while Ireland's Blarney Stone remains at number one.

My best friend and I are moving to Tallahassee soon. I'm extremely excited to be in a new place. I am not excited to pack. So I did what every procrastinator would do and downloaded the Pinterest app to my phone again. I did this to find packing and moving tips.
Aside from helpful things I've done I've also:
- Figured out my wedding color palate. (I've been single for almost 8 years)
- Found healthy recipes to try. (I haven't turned on the stove in 4 months)
- Pinned a million pins having to do with babies. (22 year old virgin right here)
- Discovered Capsule Wardrobes
I did bold that on purpose. A capsule wardrobe. What an idea. I'm absolutely floored. I LOVE the idea of a capsule wardrobe. But I'm worried. I immediately started making excuses for why it wouldn't work for me.
"I like color too much"
"I don't own enough neutrals/basics"
"There's no way I could get my closet down to 37 pieces"
I currently work in a Consignment shop, and I've been slowly (painfully) going through my closet and getting rid of things I don't need. I've gotten fed up and angrily gone through my closet(s) about 5 times now. This is what my main closet looks like right now:
Yes. I do have two closets. Insert back story:
When we moved into this house I moved into a smaller bedroom with built in bookshelves. I kept buying clothes and my closet was bursting. I tried everything I could to get more space in my closet. Aside from, you know, actually getting rid of anything. I used coke tabs to layer my clothing but that just made me think I didn't have hangers when I did, and I was too lazy to re-layer my clothing when it was clean. My best friend on the other hand, the one with the master closet that has more space then he knows what to do with, started a relationship and had practically moved out. His closet sat there not even knowing it's full potential. He eventually decided he was going to move out on the agreement that should he move back in, he would move back into the master bedroom. I readily agreed dreaming of all the space I was going to have. I moved my closet over that day, and it was full. I put my closet in this bigger space and it flourished. Aside from the fact that it was packed from day one I continued to buy and get more clothes, and was constantly out of hangers. I am the kind of person that I don't do laundry for months at a time because I have that many clothes.
When my best friend and his boyfriend broke up and he moved back in it was really hard. When my best friend moved out everything was done slowly. It took me almost a month to clean out my previous room into the master. When he moved back in everything had to be done in a day. All of my furniture had to be moved as well as my closet. My closet had expanded so much there was no way I could fit it all into one closet. After begging, and because of the time crunch, my best friend agreed that I could use the other bedroom in the house to hold my stuff so we could get everything moved. So we basically piled all of my things into the other bedroom, and I slowly moved what I could into my tiny bedroom to make it work for me. But even now, five months later, I still have two closets, and up until last weekend I still had stuff scattered all over the other room.
In short, I own way too much stuff. Clothes worst of all. The picture up there? Only shirts. That is just all the shirts I own. That does not include sweaters, cardigans, or dresses. Just. Shirts. I should also mention that any t-shirts I've gotten free over the years (school clubs, VBS, camp, work, etc) are folded in the sterilite drawers under those shirts.
I own too much and I know I don't need it. I started to really realize this when I was perusing pinterest (on the kids and parenting tab) and saw an article on Living Well and Spending Less about the author taking her kids toys away. (I've linked to that article). From there I continued to look through her posts and found the 31 days of spending zero. I read each post associated to this challenge and was blown away. As a broke college student who just got approved for her first credit card and has already maxed it out the idea of not spending any money in a month appealed to me. I didn't do it although I wish I had. Many of the posts were about organizing and only buying necessities. Since we are so close to moving, my best friend and I tried to only buy milk, eggs, bread, and cheese when we went shopping and try to use the rest of whats laying around in our cabinets and freezer. This also didn't last long, but as I scoped out her blog I saw her post for her "40 hanger closet" I loved the idea. Probably because I love those huggable velvet hangers. I knew I had too much and since we've started talking about moving I've wanted to just leave everything behind and start over new.
I've been trying really hard to make this happen. I've purged my closet 5 or 6 times and still have a bajillion items in my closet. I just counted. I have 47 tank tops. 64 tops and 9 button ups. These totals do not include my "college tees" or the overflowing basket of dirty laundry, or my basket of clean laundry waiting to be hung up.
As I've gone through other Wardrobe Capsule blogs (I've read EVERY. SINGLE. POST. on Un-fancy) I've started really purging the small things.
For instance
- Bras
- the nice/unworn ones made it to the consignment store
- the worn/damaged ones made it to the trash can
- Underwear
- All my old/stained underwear made it to the trash can
- All my pretty/unworn underwear were folded pretty and put in the back of the drawer. (I can't purge everything)
- Socks
- Socks that were worn down or had holes or had been single in my drawer for over 3 months were tossed.
- Unworn/crazy toe socks and the like made it to my "oh shit box" where I keep giftable items like fun socks, bath and body sets in scents I don't like, and any kind of item I don't want but looks nice. I use my oh shit box when I've forgotten a friends birthday and want to give them something. Or any other holiday for that matter, or for when I find out someone is in the hospital.
- Pants/Shorts/Capris
- I'm honestly disgusted with the amount of jeans I had that were not wearable. I probably threw out 10 pounds of denim.
That list could go on and on, but the point is I started slow. Went through a pile or drawer at a time and felt accomplished until I looked at the big picture. I still had too much bulk in my main closet. What's important is that I was aware. I started to pack up my sweaters because I felt that they would be an easy item to pack first. (I had to do 2-3 loads of laundry to find all my sweaters) I carefully rolled my sweaters so I could make them fit in the box I was packing and there were a few sweaters with tags still on them that I knew I wouldn't wear because they weren't my style. I was able to immediately put them to the side. When I put the lid on the box I realized I could still take out about half of the sweaters I had just folded.
That picture is all the sweaters I took out of the box. I got so excited I did a quick post to twitter explaining how proud I was of myself and in the process sold a few of them to a friend. But if you'll notice, there's two neon green sweaters in this pile. I still have a neon green sweater I'm keeping. There's also two lightweight grey long sleeved shirts. They're in different patterns, but they are extremely thin, and have been about two sizes too small since the day I got them. It felt good to purge these items and I felt better. Now I just need to do it to the rest of my closet.
I really have been benefiting from reading blogs like un-fancy because it's making me question my purchases. I went to the mall with a friend the other day in search of the perfect plain white tee. I've gotten into the habit of wanting to buy everything on sale, and immediately headed to the clearance section because I'm pretty good at finding shirts for $2.97 at Old Navy. Going through I found this awesome short sleeve sweater shirt. It was a really comfy material and even though I have a similar item in my closet in blue, I've never liked how the blue one looked on me, but the way these sleeves were rolled and the fact that it was a neutral had me running to the dressing room.
I tried it on and the sleeves looked great, but I felt like the bottom of the sweater was too clingy, and I didn't feel 100% comfortable in it. I couldn't get it to pass the guidelines I've seen online. It didn't fit great, I didn't know how to style it, and when I thought about it, a sweater wasn't a great idea for Florida summer heat. I came out of the dressing room proud of myself. I confidently hung it back in clearance. My friend was at a loss.
"But it's only $7" he shouted. "You're planning on loosing weight" "You can put it in your closet for later!" He tried to convince me. But I couldn't do it. I was too aware. It wasn't going to make me happy to buy that sweater, even though it was so cheap.
Later on, during the same mall trip, I found a very cute tiny black purse at claire's for $15-17. This is an item I've been wanting for when I go out to clubs. It's tiny and black which will match everything and I could fit my phone, keys, credit cards, and cash. I decided to wait, and now I'm itching to go get it. But I made myself wait. It's been a few days and I've thought about the tiny purse several times. I'm confidant that I will go back soon and buy it. But I'm shopping smart now.
The thing that keeps running through my head is "Spending is not saving" this is one of those quotes that changed my life. I can't find the article I found it in, but I remember reading it several times. So thank you Ruth for bestowing that quote on me and changing my life.
I've got that urge to take everything out of my closet and sort it into piles. But now I feel like I've adequately explained my closet and how I've stumbled upon the greatness that is capsule wardrobes.

Hot up Your Dance Learning Progress Through Couples Whistle Lessons
Right with the attachment of dance in your life, you will be able to sense the achievement, growth and rejoice in regard to your life. And when you make a ginnie mae with the dance since your own wedding then it is the foremost time to rejoice your life.

ADVA® Cast High-Range Water Reducers
A high-range water reducing admixture for the precast/prestressed concrete industry. Excellent placeability and workability, flow through congested forms without segregation, high early strength, there is an ADVA® Cast to meet all your needs.
ADVA® Cast is a series of high-efficiency, polycarboxylate-based, high-range, water-reducing admixtures for the precast/prestressed concrete industry. In addition to providing excellent water reduction, ADVA® Cast products generate higher compressive strengths, better slump retention, improved rheology, enhanced air control, superior finishability and robustness across a wide range of materials, including both flowable and self-consolidating concrete.
- Product Name
- Description
- Key Benefits
- Applications Type
ADVA® Cast 575 is a high efficiency, low addition rate polycarboxylate-based high-range water reducer designed for the production of a wide range of concrete mixes, from conventional to Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC).
- Superior air entrainment control
- Enhanced concrete cohesiveness
- Superior finish on cast surfaces
ADVA® Cast 575 is a plant-added superplasticizer that is formulated to impart improved workability to the concrete and to achieve high early compressive strength as required by the precast industry.
Solve challenging forms, improve efficiency and quality with high-strength SCC
Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable, non-segregating concrete that spreads into place, fills formwork, self-compacts and encapsulates even the most congested reinforcement, all without any mechanical vibration. SCC flows evenly around complex or congested forms without segregation.
SCC produced with ADVA® Cast products provides unique advantages over conventional flowing concrete:
- Lower SCC viscosity
- Self-placement
- No segregation
- No blocking
- Improved finishes
This results in high-quality, high performance, precast concrete elements.
Feature: ADVA® Cast 585 and the GCP Air Management System
Precast/prestressed concrete often requires air entrainment to improve its freezing and thawing durability. Entrained air must be present in the correct concentration (air content %) and also fall within industry specified parameters (e.g. spacing factor, size of the air bubbles, etc.) in order to be fully effective and in compliance, ADVA® Cast 585 contains a special (patent pending) deformer package designed to develop a stable air void system consisting of smaller air bubbles, which helps meet specifications and performance requirements.
In addition to providing an excellent air void system and benefits of a high-range water-reducer, ADVA® Cast 585 can be combined with AIRtrac™, a sensor that measures the temperature and total air content of concrete in real time while mixing. When combined, these products and technologies provide for a complete AIR Management System.
Technical services for every application

According to a statement released by Secretariat of the National Council of Resistance of Iran:on January 7, the clerical regime hanged four prisoners in Qazvin and Gachsaran. The youth executed in Gachsaran was a 24 year old from Kohkiloyeh and Boyerahmad province. Three days earlier, a prisoner had also been executed in the prison of city of Sari.
Meanwhile, on January 8, at least two prisoners were transferred to solitary confinement in Bandar Abbas prison in preparation for their executions.
On January 5, fifty-nine people were arrested in the city of Mashhad. Three prisoners in Dehdasht Township (in Kohkiloyeh and Boyerahmad province) were lashed in public in the previous days.
On Saturday night of January 4, security forces shot and killed a 26 year old by the name of Salman Khezri in Sardasht; then they tied his body to the vehicle and pulled his body on the ground for 2 kilometers.
Two days earlier, two other young men lost their lives after they were shot by the security forces in cities of Saqez and Islamabad. Kaveh Mostafai, 24, resident of Saqez, was shot and killed merely for arguing with the security forces. Pouria Assadi, 30, resident of Islamabad-e Gharb in Kermanshah province was shot in one of the streets of the city by regime's suppressive forces and lost his life. Although the murderer of this young man is known, regime has not pursued the complaint by Assadi's family. Ramiyar Ebrahimi, a poor laborer who worked in Sardasht (Western Azerbaijan) was also shot last week by regime's elements and is in a coma now.
These executions and this barbaric suppression that are concurrent with Jack Straw's trip as a supporter of the dirtiest policies of the religious fascism ruling Iran, is mullahs' regime welcome to those who advance the disgraceful policy of appeasement by whitewashing the murderers of children of Iranian people. The deafening silence of a number of western countries in face of barbaric and continuous violation of human rights in Iran and shaking hands with murderers of Iranian people's children has no meaning but collaboration in these crimes.

Barbados has banned the importation of corned beef and other meat products from Brazil, following in the footsteps of Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.
The Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS) Tuesday evening quoted Senior Veterinary Officer Dr Mark Trotman as saying concerns about the possibility of adulterated corned beef from Brazil entering Barbados had led to the temporary ban, while advising retailers to withdraw all Brazilian meat products from their shelves.
He also warned consumers not to purchase corned beef or other canned meats manufactured in Brazil until the completion of investigations to determine whether the contaminated product had come into the island.
"As part of our investigations, samples of product are being collected and will be analyzed by the Veterinary Services Laboratory and the Government Analytical Services Laboratory," the BGIS quoted Dr Trotman as saying.
The Jamaican ministry of industry, commerce, agriculture and fisheries yesterday announced a ban on the canned product from the South American country amid fears of rotten meat being used in its processing.
The step was taken following reports from Brazilian authorities that several major meat processors there had been "selling rotten beef and poultry".
Trinidad and Tobago has since joined Jamaica in imposing an immediate ban on the importation and sale of corned beef from Brazil, and so have China and the European Union.
Brazilian police last week named the food conglomerate BRF – the world's largest meat producer – and JBS – the world's largest food processing company by sales and the biggest poultry exporter – along with smaller companies in a two-year corruption probe.
According to Reuters news agency the police alleged that the companies had paid inspectors and politicians to overlook the processing of rotten meat and exports with fraudulent documentation and even traces of salmonella.

Project: Pine River
Challenge:Tight constraints, sensitive area, need to install erosion control measures in specific time frame
Solution: Careful planning, sensitivity to eco-system, repetitive erosion control measures during construction
Owner: MDOT
Location: Pine River at the Cooley Bridge on M-55
Contract Price: $196,987
Contact: Dell Kirkby
Contact Phone Number: 231-775-3486
Date Completed: 8/31/2012
Self-Performed: 100%
At Team Elmer's, we pride ourselves on our ability to overcome any obstacle we encounter. When we were tasked with getting 1,100 tons of 8-inch stone down a 70-foot vertical slope, we had to adapt to get the job done. Faced with the seemingly simple errand of digging up two feet of mud and soil and arranging fabric and rock from the top of the slope to the river's edge, the topography quickly became treacherous. A steep 2:1 incline created an environment where caution, experience and careful planning were of the utmost importance.
Enter the trademark Elmer's innovation. We built a gravel road down to the river and built a bench so that our technicians had enough room to operate an excavator and drive a haul truck. Elmer's also installed a turbidity curtain in the river to contain sediment during construction. By paying close attention to erosion tendencies and to the surrounding environment, Team Elmer's was able to complete the job without a hitch – and ahead of schedule.
At the completion of the project, the riverside was returned to natural habitat and erosion-controlling stone. Furthermore, we replaced a concrete headwall that had been buried for years. As is our custom, we turned a perceived obstacle around and used it as a tool to complete the job faster and more effectively. Another success story!

There are several motives for the permanent migration to Australia, and therefore more groups of emigration visas that meet different goals and meet different needs.
This program includes 189 Skill Indepedent Visa, 190 Skill Nominated Visa and 489 Regional (Provisional) Visas.
These are permanent visas that do not require sponsorship from a family, a state or a territorial government, and allow you to live and work in Australia as a permanent resident.
The Australian Government has developed a program that seeks to attract migrants with experience in areas where there is a shortage of skilled workers. It is necessary to fulfill the conditions imposed by the Australian Migration Service, which includes certain qualifications, work experience and knowledge of English.
Conditions that need to be met for an immigrant visa are:
To apply for one of these visas, you first need to send an Expression of Interest (EOI) through Skill Select. This indicates that you want to be considered for some of the Skilled Visas. It is important to make a difference and note that EOI is not a visa application.
If you are invited to apply for a visa, you will receive an invitation from SkillSelect and from that day you have 60 days to apply for a visa.
Visa allows you to live and work in Australia, join the Australian health system, sponsor family members for the appropriate visa, travel from Australia and apply for Australian citizenship if you meet the requirements.
An immigrant visa allows you to stay permanently in Australia.
An immigrant visa is applied online via the Immigration Services website of Australia.
The application fee for an immigrant visa application fee is 3.755AUD.

Rotelle Studio(e) announces He Vs. She Shed winner
SOUTH COVENTRY TOWNSHIP — With a little help from "Trading Spaces" star Ty Pennington, the men and women of eastern Pennsylvania custom home builder Rotelle Studio(e) pitted their expertise and design talents against each other in their first ever He vs. She Shed Shindig, according to a release.
The competition to build the ultimate backyard getaways incorporated creative, "off-the-hook" designs, and culminated in a chance to vote for the Best Shed and automatically enter into an online raffle to win the She Shed. In addition, the He Shed went on the charity auction block to raise funds for Ashley Addiction Treatment. The Rotelle sheds were revealed to an audience of about 500 guests during Studio(e)'s second annual Dream BIG Custom Home Event on Sept. 15.
With all the votes tallied and the auction ended, the She Shed won Best Shed honors and was presented to raffle winner Meredith Jacks, a Realtor with Styer Real Estate of South Coventry Township.
"It's absolutely perfect for me," Meredith said, in a statement. "It's not only this incredible, awesome She Shed, but it's Rotelle-built. Not many people are fortunate enough to have a luxury custom designed and built shed. I feel extremely lucky to have won this. They really thought of everything. It's perfect."
The Rotelle Studio(e) She Shed women's team was led by Ren�e Pratt, and included chief architect Heather Ryan and design consultant Emily Wisler. The She Shed's signature "wow" factor is a retractable roof that opens up to allow light and air into the chicly designed space, and when open provides cover over a side deck. Clever build-ins allow for discreet wall storage, and the serving counter hides a cooler. Completing the She Shed is a hammock-like day bed suspended from a sturdy crossbeam.
Peter Rotelle, president and owner of Rotelle Development Co. and Studio(e), made the final winning bid during the He Shed charity auction and recently presented Ashley Addiction Treatment with a check for $11,011. He will be installing the He Shed, and some 50 others still to be built, on a pristine 45-acre campground, called Simply Rustic, opening in 2019.
"It's our version of a 'glampground,'" he said.
The Rotelle Studio(e) He Shed men's team was led by Rotelle and included Chief Operating Officer Anthony Holowsko and Senior Project Manager Ken Zimmerman. Using raw lumber, the men constructed the ultimate backyard man cave and incorporated, as Peter Rotelle said, "off-the-hook" design elements that included a back wall that drops to create a deck, a glass garage door, an elevated dog bed and repurposed antique finds, such as an old gas pump converted into a faucet, a wall lighting fixture made from the headlights and grille of an old Ford pickup truck and a tool chest repurposed as a coffee and bar station.

How Could I Leave This Behind?
At right is a black Jay Turser copy of the early Fender Precision bass. Isn't it pretty? InstrumentPro.com has them, in white, black, blonde and sunburst. A sunburst '51 is what Sting plays. I try not to get all obsessive about the exact styling of my favorite players and their instruments. My B-Bender will not be sunburst, my fretless Jazz bass will not be sunburst with no pickguard, my first Strat will not be black with a white pickguard. But really, that white up-the-top-horn pickguard screams 50s futurism to me, in white even more so, with the sunburst looking 30s old-school, it even more than the Strat hits that cool retro nostalgia for futures past.
It's about $170 pre-shipping. If you think you need to buy me a Christmas present, that's an early hint.
"But, Sans", you ask. "Why are you thinking about basses recently? Aren't you a Tele guy?"
I am. I am a Tele guy. I will continue to post Telecaster pics until you guys want to call me Teleblogster. But there's one truth that seems universal.
There's too many freakin' guitarists. Bass is cool, and there's always someone who wants one.
I've been jamming, with a friend's bass. Keys' bass (a black Epiphone he got cheap) and Guitar's ex-bassist's rig. Also, on occasion Guitar's other ex-bassists's bass, a MIM Fender Jazz that needs some work to make it sing. I'm picking it up. I'm also (see above) on the hunt for my own bass gear. Plus I'm wanting to learn how to make it work.
The bassist on Wednesdays, he's not the most technical guy, and he plugs direct into the DI box. And, nobody hears him. I volunteered to set up his bass some, and so I have it at home. It's a Squier P-Bass, and once I raised the pickup and lowered the action, it got a bit louder. I'm thinking that it needs a bit of truss rod work, but my tool can't get in there when the strings are in tune. I need a longer hex wrench! I'm looking at the Fender Bass Setup FAQ. That's a good source, and it should be much better and much louder.
I have a question. I've seen a setup a few times where the bass has a P-Bass pickup in the "neck" position (actually smack-dab in the center of the body) and a J-Bass pickup in the bass. Keys' black Batman bass has that. Is there a term for that kind of setup? I'm tempted to call it a PJ setup.

Davis Family Vineyards 2012 "Soul Patch" Pinot Noir
A perfect wine for Thanksgiving dinner, for sure. It'll pair well with everything on the menu.
The beautiful reddish-purple hue gives way to aromas that leap from the glass; ripe cherries, plum and violets. The flavors are intense; black cherry, currants, clove, black pepper, with floral and mineral notes. It's complex and provides a long, lingering finish.
"Brilliant ruby-red. Fresh dark berries, cola and rose pastille on the smoke- and mineral-accented nose. Spicy and tightly focused on entry, then more fleshy in the middle, offering gently sweet black raspberry and cola flavors and a spicy topnote that builds with air. Finishes with excellent clarity and thrust, picking up fine-grained tannins that provide focus and gentle grip. Very accessible now, with decanting, but this wine has the depth to age."~Stephen Tanzer

About the Vineyard:
Located on Laguna Ridge, in the heart of Russian River Valley, Soul Patch is an estate vineyard that Guy Davis himself planted in 1996. There are many varieties grown in Soul Patch Vineyard, including Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay and Zinfandel. The eastern facing property allows the benefits of gentle sun exposure in the morning, but protection from harsh heat exposure in the afternoon. The soil in Soul Patch vineyard is predominately volcanic witch contributes to the balancing minerality of this Pinot Noir.

I have a new high for one-day visits to my site – 332 in one day, this past Tuesday. So, of course I'm pumped and here we go with links:
1 – I know I'm often Mac-centric, so today I'll start off with a Windows link. Free Technology for Teachers has a video on how to retrieve deleted files in Windows Vista only. I use XP at work, so this doesn't help me much, but hopefully it helps someone out there when an important yearbook spread is deleted or something.
2 – Black Star Rising has joined the ranks of high school photo teachers and has a great tip for teaching newbies – tell them every photo needs a verb!
3 – Journalism.co.uk has a terrific post on How To Write a Press Release. With so many journalism/media majors going into PR, it's a good bet they may have to do one sometime.
4 – This one is NSFS, so don't show it to your students without cleanup first, but the ideas are good. What the F… is Social Media. Great slide show about the usefulness of the platforms. As a companion to it are 20 Mind Blowing statistics about social media.
5 – Web design teachers, JEA has a useful PDF handout on their site for choosing a URL and getting a hosting service.
6 – If you teach web design and you don't read hongkiat.com yet, you should. They have 30 useful scripts for dropdown menus.
7 – I use several tools developed for teachers by Kagan, but here is a free Online Stopwatch when you want to time your students on a certain task.
8 – The CJR (Columbia Journalism Review) has a survey that shows newspapers are still read mainly on dead trees. Even I've been reading the hometown Deadtree Daily more this summer, but I think I won't have time for it once school starts.
9 – My new camera has 15 MP, how big can I print a photo? I get this question from photography students a lot. This chart from Design215 will give you all the answers.
10 – Hadn't watched this video in a while, but it still hits me. Journalism students usually are "the crazy ones."
11 – And related to Crazy is this post from Mindy McAdams – it is Time To Get Crazy in journalism. The time for safe is past. We can't just keep doing what we've been doing, because the results are not good.
12 – Cyndy Green has been great enough to share how she deals with the first week of school in her video production class and how she manages the gear in the classroom – always a huge task. Thanks.
13 – The incomparable Edit Foundry blog has more on Long Form Editing – this time using closeups.
Baker's Dozen for today – enjoy and good luck on the upcoming school year.

Alcoholism is an epidemic in society today, and is a problem facing many in Moncks Corner, SC. Alcohol is in fact a drug, the most commonly used and widely abused in the world.

Consuming alcohol is a common and acceptable practice in Moncks Corner. The problem with alcohol addiction and alcoholism begins when consumption crosses the line from moderate drinking, to having to consume alcohol to avoid feeling bad or to feel comfortable in social situations.

video: new Grimes – REALiTi
"This song was never finished. its a demo from ~ the lost album ~, recorded early 2013. i lost the ableton file, so its not mixed or mastered. i tried to doctor the mp3 into a listenable state, but it was poorly recorded in the first place and never meant to be heard by anyone, so its a bit of a mess haha." — Grimes
Grimes just being modest, this sounds really great to us, and hopefully "REALiTi" isn't the last we hear of the 'lost album.'

Every year in March, the Recipe for Success Foundation challenges Americans to eat 30 different vegetables in thirty days. It's called the VegOut Challenge.
Houston City Council member David Robinson and his staff took the challenge last year. He said he tried to eat vegetables that start with all the letters of the alphabet.
"Starting with avocado or artichoke and getting all the way down to zucchini in the 26 days, and then we had a few more to turn the corner and get back," Robinson said. "And so it was fun and we got challenged, not so much on Zs; zucchini was easy, but there's some letters in there that are tough to find a vegetable for."
VegOut began in Houston three years ago to combat obesity in children. The idea is to offer fun ways to eat healthy with veggies.
The initiative has since expanded nationwide.
Participants can use the smartphone app or register online to follow the progress of their thirty day VegOut Challenge.

Get Better Grades and Girls By Managing Two Things : Time and Energy
Lets talk about Time and Energy routing to improve your grades and only grades (not girls) in this article. But, before that, here why I'm writing this article. Manoj asked the following question via email. Then I asked him to share his experience in the follow-up email. End Result? He shared his experience My Campus Life Wasn't an Exception. Now, I writing this blog post with answers to his questions.
I have few questions for which I haven't got a satisfactory reply from anyone. I have been through the career category of your website before writing you this mail, kindly please help.
- Other than concentrating on our studies what are the other things we as students need to do in our first semester while doing our masters?
- Your blog speaks about building a brand, as a students what are the things we should do?
Kindly please help me, I am not the only student here who has these questions, there are many students with whom I spoke and most of the new students have no idea about that.
You tend to develop several skills during your college days in USA. Most of those skills are hidden benefits of studying in USA. To name a few
- Problem Solving ( while working on projects)
- Cause and Effect ( what if you miss the project deadline)
- Communication ( dealing with professors, TA, co-workers, etc)
- Professionalism ( from day to day activities)
- Responsibility ( people trust and expect you will get the job,projects done)
- Independent ( by managing your daily activities)
It's good to have the above skills which you normally tend to ignore or not pay attention. But, one of the important skills that you need to develop is Time Management.
Your time management skills will improve as your semester progresses. But, there is a difference between ad hoc time management and proper planning. Today we are going to talk about Time and Energy management.
Simple Time Management Tips
Here is a ready to use framework for Time Management that I use.
- First Things First
- Manage Your Energy not just time
First Things First
Remember : It's not possible to remember all the things you have to get it done by memory.
To get things done, write it down.
There are so many tools out there to be make a to do list. Tools are effective only if you use it. Don't expect the tools to magically solve your "getting things done" problem.
I can suggest you few tools, but don't expect those tools to auto read your mind and get things done for you.
You have to make an effort to use the tool. First few weeks will be challenging.
It will always be fun you start with a tool, but the interest dies down over next few days and you sotp using it. That's because you are expecting the tool to solve your time management problem.
Time management can be solved by managing your energy.
Mange your Energy
There are two parts to managing you energy for Time Management.
- Energy = Interest and Enthusiasm
- Identify your Power Hour
Energy = Interest and Enthusiasm
Let's say you start using a tool. You start entering list of things to do.
You keep doing that for a 1 week, but have you run into instances where the items in the to-do list are still incomplete?
Your expectation is that this new tool, will solve your problem of getting things done.
Tools will remind you to do this things at a specific time. You have to get those things done. Right?
Your Power Hour
Read it again : It's Power Hour. Not Power Hours.
The concept of Power Hour is simple : It's the most effective time of your day when your energy is high.
After you have list of items in your "to do" list, you need to know when to do certain things.
For instance, do you check your email and facebook as the two things in the morning?
Email and Facebook are the two biggest energy drainer to start your day with.
This is How I Work
Morning is the best time of my day where my creative juices flow is high. For instance, I thought about writing this blog post today morning, but made mental note the night before.
As soon as I logged into my computer (my computers stays powered on for weeks at a time) I started writing this blog post.
If I had opted to check my email, there could be 100's in the inbox, my energy will be drained and focus will be lost.
Why do I do this?
I have identified this is my best time of the day to write. Some people prefer to write at night, I prefer to write in the morning.
Like wise, you have to identify the best times of the day to do certain tasks. It is very hard to form this habit.
On any given day, you may have assignments to complete, classes to attend, cooking, washing, paying bills, part time job, etc.
Certain things are time sensitive (like classes and work hours). But, with the time you have left, you need to know your Power Hour.
Power Hour should be matched with most important items to do from your to-do list.
Turn Off all the distractions and start working.
Distractions = Email, email notification, Facebook, switch off phone notifications.
President Obama on Getting Things Done.
I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating or wearing, because I have too many other decisions to make."
That's how Mr.President Manages his time.
via The Power of Full Engagement:
The number of hours in a day is fixed, but the quantity and quality of energy available to us is not. This fundamental insight has the power to revolutionize the way you live.
Now, you have an idea about managing time and energy. These 2 skills are not taught in the class. This comes from practice and experience.
via The Power of Full Engagement:
Their entire lives are designed around expanding, sustaining and renewing the energy they need to compete for short, focused periods of time. At a practical level, they build very precise routines for managing energy in all spheres of their lives–eating and sleeping; working out and resting; summoning the appropriate emotions; mentally preparing and staying focused; and connecting regularly to the mission they have set for themselves. Although most of us spend little or no time systematically training in any of these dimensions, we are expected to perform at our best for eight, ten, and even twelve hours a day.
Quick Recap
- To get things done, write it down
- Prioritize the list
- Identify your Power Hour
- While working, shut down distractions.
- Say no to temptations while working on your Power Hour.
- Work Uninterrupted during your Power Hour
Original question was
- Other than concentrating on our studies what are the other things we as students need to do in our first semester while doing our masters?
- Your blog speaks about building a brand, as a students what are the things we should do?
I have answered the first question here. Managing Time and Energy is most important trait to develop as a student to have long term sustained success. I will have another article to answer the second question. Better Grades are a step away when you manage your energy and time.
