Ooh isn't it annoying trying to get half decent photos at the moment?! My lovely MIL has got me a light box for Christmas, so hopefully that will help - wish I could have it now though!
The super cute image is Dexter the Penguin - snow cone, I'll have to use this image for Dex's card I think :o) He's coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers, with lots of glamour dust for sparkle. The papers are Dovecraft, another pack I'd forgotten all about, and the cardstock is from Papermill Direct. I've added some punched snowflakes and pearls, and used a nellie snellen die to mount the image... I don't use this die very often as for some reason it doesn't cut well in my big shot - it seems to struggle to go through at all, and will only cut certain cardstock. Anyway, I thought I'd persevere this time as the image & sentiment fit perfectly in it.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Pollycraft Monday Challenge - Christmas fun
- Charisma Cardz - snowflakes
- My Mum's Craft Shop - things with wings
- Papertake Weekly - Christmas crackers
- Everybody Art - Christmas card
- Totally Papercrafts - Christmas

W.A. Clark Memorial Library
Huguette Clark as a child, with one of her dolls. Her family is battling her nurse for the lion's share of her $400 million fortune.
NEW YORK — The relatives of copper mining heiress Huguette Clark have gone to court to challenge her last will and testament, claiming fraud by her attorney, accountant and nurse.
The longtime private registered nurse, Hadassah Peri, already received about $26 million from Clark while she lived, according to court documents, and is left more than $30 million more in Clark's last will. The attorney and accountant were left $500,000 each.
A previous will, signed just six weeks earlier, left $5 million to the nurse, and all the rest to Clark's family. The family was cut out of the second will entirely. Despite years of pleading from attorney after attorney, Clark had reached age 98 without directing who should inherit one of America's great fortunes from the Gilded Age, estimated to be at least $400 million.
Her nurse, an immigrant from the Philippines, had been assigned to Clark by a home care agency almost 20 years ago. Now she owns a $200,000 Bentley Arnage luxury sedan and five houses. Money for four of those houses was given to her through the years by Clark, who died last May at age 104.
The reclusive Clark has been the focus of a series of a series of reports on msnbc.com about her vacant properties and the management of her fortune. She lived out her last decades in modest hospital rooms in New York City, leaving empty a $100 million home on the Pacific coast in Santa Barbara, Calif., a $20 million country estate in New Canaan, Conn., and three apartments with a total of 42 rooms at 907 Fifth Avenue in New York City, soon to go on the market at about $75 million.
Nineteen of Clark's relatives filed an objection to the second will this week in Surrogate's Court in Manhattan.
Clark "was not competent to make a Will," argues the family attorney, John R. Morken, "in that she did not know the nature, extent or value of her assets, was not of sound mind or memory and was not mentally capable of making a Will." He goes on to argue that the will "was not freely and voluntarily made," that it was "procured by the undue influence of [attorney] Wallace Bock, [accountant] Irving Kamsler, Hadassah Peri, and/or by other persons acting in concert," and that the same people obtained the will by fraud.
Document: Read the family's objections to the will (PDF file).
A key issue in the case will be the close timing of the two wills, just six weeks apart. If Clark was not competent to sign a will in March 2005, then how was she competent to sign a will in April 2005? Of course, from the family's perspective, it doesn't matter if the judge throws out both wills. In that case, if she dies without a valid will, the family inherits everything under state law.
Another key issue will be the extent of contact between the relatives and the reclusive Clark. Her attorney and accountant portray the relatives as distant, having no contact with Clark. The relatives have said they and their older relatives had contact with Clark through the years, exchanging letters and telephone calls while respecting her desire for privacy, and that those contacts were cut off abruptly by her attorney about the same time as the wills were signed.
The second will tells a different story, attempting to foreclose any claim by family. "I intentionally make no provision in this my Last Will Testament (sic) for any members of my family, whether on my paternal or maternal side, having had minimal contacts with them over the years. The persons and institution named herein as beneficiaries of my Estate are the true objects of my bounty."
The 19 relatives are descended from the first marriage of Clark's father, the former U.S. Sen. William Andrews Clark (1839-1925).
Huguette Clark, born in 1906, was married only briefly and had no children. Her only full sister died at age 16 and had no children. Her mother had no other children. Under state law that leaves 21 "intestate distributees" — the relatives who would inherit her estate if she left no will or if the court chooses to uphold the earlier will instead of the later one. Of those 21, 19 are challenging the will in court.
A public official investigating Clark's finances, the Public Administrator of the city of New York, has accused the attorney and executive of fraud in handling Clark's taxes. The attorney and accountant, also the subject of a criminal investigation by the Manhattan district attorney, have said they handled Clark's finances appropriately and according to her wishes. No criminal charges have been filed. A judge has suspended thm from being executors, a role which would have earned them about $8 million each.
Speaking for nurse Peri, attorney Harvey E. Corn argued in court documents on Dec. 7 that Clark gave the money, and her doll collection, to her out of "gratitude for Ms. Peri's devoted service." Corn says that "Ms. Peri saw or communicated with the Decedent almost every day" during her nearly 20 years of service. And he says that hospital records from the six months around the signing of the wills show that Clark was in good health, "conversant, cheerful, well read and engaged in taking care of her personal affairs."
Hadassah Peri has not spoken publicly about Clark, but a press agent issued a statement on her behalf in June after she was named in the will: "I saw Madame Clark virtually every day for the 20 years. I was her private duty nurse but also her close friend. I knew her as a kind and generous person, with whom I shared many wonderful moments and whom I loved very much. I am profoundly sad at her passing, awed at the generosity she has shown me and my family, and eternally grateful. Just as Madame Clark demonstrated kindness toward others in her actions, so, too, will I and my family devote a substantial portion of this bequest toward making the world a better place for all people."
The public administrator's office has said in court papers that it might seek to "claw back" into the estate some of the gifts given from Clark's accounts while she lived. The administrator said the powers of attorney that Clark signed over to her attorney and accountant did not include the authority to give gifts, including a $5 million check written to Peri in 2009, after Clark herself stopped writing checks on her account.
If that clawback effort is successful, and if the second will is thrown out, Peri could not only lose the large bequest but could also have to pay back some of what she now has. The public administrator also has filed challenges with the court, objecting to gifts and bills paid out by Clark's attorney and accountant, suggesting that a judgment could later be sought against them for return of that money to the estate.
The New York attorney general has also entered the case, representing the interests of charities that could be helped or hurt by the decision —those include the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, which is named in the second will to receive one of Monet's "Water Lilies" series of paintings, and the yet-unborn Bellosguardo Foundation, the art museum to be set up at her California home under the second will.
Huguette (pronounced "oo-GET") Marcelle Clark lived quietly, secluded under fake names in a hospital room for more than two decades despite being in relatively good physical health. Intensely shy, she was almost entirely alone, aside from her private nurse, other helpers and occasional visits by her accountant. One of her former attorneys represented her for 20 years without meeting her face to face, instead talking to her on the phone and through a closed door.
In the last year of her life, after her three empty mansions drew the attention of a reporter for msnbc.com in late 2009, she became a subject of public fascination, a trending topic of searches on Google and Yahoo, pictured on the cover of the New York tabloids, with fan pages on Facebook, a biography on Wikipedia, and her story read by tens of millions — though the last known photograph of her was made in 1930.

Modern piston design locates the top ring higher for improved performance. a high top ring operates at higher temperatures and requires a larger top ring end gap. To find the proper ring end gap, multiply your bore size by the ring end gap factor listed on the chart (i. e. , Street Normally Aspirated 4. 000" bore x . 0065" gap factor = . 026" total top ring end gap). Your hypereutectic performance piston will expand less than typical cast or forged pistons. Because of this and the wear characteristics of the hypereutectic alloy, you can run tight piston?to?wall clearances. NOTE: Hypereutectic piston engines will require 2?4 degrees less total ignition timing. One key to top performance is to have all cylinders longing for the same timing numbers. Equal air flow, fuel mix, quench, chamber temperature, swirl, and compression at each cylinder work to this end. The following standards are used on all kb hypereutectic non?coated pistons. On 4. 000" to 4. 100", std sizes have . 0005 clearance built into the piston (example 4. 00 bore block, std piston size will be 3. 9995). This allows you to hone std block to attain the . 0015 minimum clearance required in the application Chart. All other oversizes have the minimum clearance built into the piston (example 4. 030" bore block, . 030 piston size will be 4. 0285, . 0015 min clearance).Pit Stop USA offers KB Pistons Performance Hypereutectic Flat Top Pistons - SB Chevy 350 - 5.7" Rod Length, .030" Over Bore Size KB120-30 at low everyday prices.

Checking in on… the Mountain WestPosted by Brian Goodman on February 25th, 2011
Andrew Murawa is the RTC correspondent for the Mountain West Conference.
A Look Back
With the battle for the conference title just a day away, the conference race has taken its shape. Up top, of course, are national top-ten teams BYU and San Diego State, tied at 12-1 and ready to battle on Montezuma Mesa on Saturday morning. Next, UNLV has moved backed into third and seems a lock to be asked to the Big Dance, while Colorado State is still waiting in the wings, hoping to secure its own invitation in its remaining schedule after having just booted one of its last big chances. Down the ladder another rung, Utah has suddenly turned on the juice and bolted to three straight wins (although it may not be enough to save Jim Boylen's job), while New Mexico has been the biggest disappointment in conference play, still three positive outcomes away from a .500 MWC record. At the bottom of the conference, Air Force has now lost four straight and fallen back to .500 overall for the first time since their second game, and suddenly they've got Wyoming nipping at their heels for the right to avoid the 8/9 game in the MWC Tournament. And finally, there's TCU all alone at the bottom with a 1-13 record, an 11-game losing streak and a program in shambles in advance of an upcoming move to the Big East in 2012-13.
Team of the Week: UNLV – Since we last talked, the Rebels have bounced back from their disappointing result against the Aztecs and reeled off three straights wins to pop their bubble and plant themselves firmly in the NCAA field. While there has been very little pretty about their wins over Air Force (just a horribly brutal game to watch), New Mexico and Colorado State, the Rebels have gotten back to playing the type of defense they were playing in November. Against the Falcons, UNLV turned on the pressure and held Air Force scoreless for over 13 minutes in the second half, while grabbing a staggering 96.7% of all defensive rebound opportunities in securing a come-from-behind win there. Then the Rebels paired a revenge victory over Colorado State in Fort Collins with a squeaker over New Mexico in Albuquerque, two mighty impressive road wins. While offense continues to be a struggle most nights, this Running Rebel team figures to be an awful tough out in the MWC Tournament on their own home floor.
Player of the Week: Malcolm Thomas, Senior, San Diego State – On the hyper-talented Aztec frontcourt, Kawhi Leonard is the star, the go-to guy, the All-American candidate. But this guy is pretty good too, and a vital cog in what Steve Fisher wants to do. While Leonard is flashier with the ball in his hands, Thomas is nearly as good on the glass, and arguably a better interior defender. Thomas leads the Aztecs with more than two blocked shots per game (and blocks on about 8% of all opponents' two-point field goals – good for 66th in the nation), and he racked up seven more blocks this week, to go with 21 points and 9.5 rebounds per outing. Given that he had been in a bit of a slump on the offensive end, averaging just over seven points per game in the prior eight games, his offensive awakening is a welcome piece of good news heading into Saturday's big game.
Newcomer of the Week: Drew Gordon, Junior, New Mexico – Despite three losses this week, part of a four-game slide for the Lobos, Gordon has to take down the honor on the basis of his 17 points and a MWC-record 23 rebounds against Utah on Saturday. Throw in 13 points and nine rebounds against SDSU and 15 points and 14 rebounds against UNLV, Gordon has become a dominant low-post force in the conference. There are still some holes in his game, but if those can get patched (or at least temporarily hidden), he could help the Lobos make some noise in the MWC Tourney.
Game of the Week: Utah 62, New Mexico 60 – This game just epitomizes the type of season the Lobos are having. New Mexico controlled just about every facet of this game, except for the small little fact that they couldn't throw a pea in the ocean from the beach, post a sub-40% effective field goal percentage. And yet, they still found themselves up one with time running down and with the Utah offense in disarray. And then Chris Hines did this. With the Lobos having lost to UNLV in overtime on Wednesday night after having a good look at the buzzer in regulation, and lost at SDSU last Wednesday after fighting back from a 14-point deficit to be right there at the end, this was just another annoyance. But couple with all the other missed opportunities in the Lobo year (a one-point loss at UNLV in which they had multiple chances to put that one away, a double-overtime loss at Dayton, and this heartbreaking loss at Wyoming), this must be just the basketball gods getting back at New Mexico for all their fortunate bounces last year.
Game of the Upcoming Week: New Mexico (17-11, 5-8) at TCU (10-19, 1-13), 2/26, 5PM PST, CBS College Sports – Yes, this epic battle between the Horned Frogs and the…. Okay, just wanted to see if you all were paying attention. Clearly the game of the week (which will be played Saturday morning at 11AM PST on CBS – the first ever national non-cable television broadcast of a MWC regular season basketball game – between San Diego State (27-1, 12-1) and BYU (26-2, 12-1). And CBS knocked the ball out of the park in choosing this game to televise way back in August. When these two teams played in late January, Jimmer Fredette took the nation by storm, knocking down 43 points in increasingly improbable fashion and slowly breaking the will of the Aztec defenders. What was a close game for 30-plus minutes or so turned into a game that was not particularly in doubt after the final TV timeout. The Aztecs controlled the glass as expected, but struggled to score. In particular senior point guard D.J. Gay, who started off guarding Fredette, seemed overwhelmed by the responsibility of both guarding Fredette and being the Aztec offensive rock. I'm guessing that won't happen again. While the Aztecs are rightly afraid of getting into a wide-open transition game with the Cougars and Fredette, they'll need to be able to turn some of their rebounds into transition opportunities in order to get some easy offense, but most importantly, they'll need to control Fredette. Gay was ineffective against him last time, and Steve Fisher can't risk losing his offense this time around, so expect Chase Tapley to get the first crack at Jimmer, while Billy White and even Kawhi Leonard may get some face-time with the National Player of the Year candidate.
Power Rankings
1. San Diego State (27-1, 12-1): The Aztecs posted wins over Air Force and New Mexico, got Tapley and Tim Shelton back from injury, and then got to rest up in the middle of the week in preparation for Saturday's game. This week couldn't have gone any better. While his running mate Thomas took down the POTW award, Leonard continued his great play, averaging 20 points and 12 rebounds this week. Apropos of little, you could actually piece together a pretty strong All-American team with just players from the MWC and Pac-10 this season, and only have to reach once. Gimme Leonard and Fredette paired with Arizona's Derrick Williams and Isaiah Thomas (Fredette and Williams are dead-solid locks to be first-team All-Americans, while Leonard and Thomas should be second-team, but may lose out to players who play primarily on ESPN), and throw in Klay Thompson for good measure and I'd guess that team could probably take any other team put together out of any other two conferences around the country.
A look ahead: The Aztecs host the Cougars in the biggest game in the history of the Mountain West Conference on Saturday, after which they'll wrap up the season with a trip to Wyoming and a visit from Colorado State.
2. BYU (26-2, 12-1): A ho-hum week for the Cougars: two more wins (a 23-point blowout at TCU and a never-particularly-close eight-point win at home against Colorado State) and 57 more points from Fredette (although in an increasingly inefficient manner – just 15 of 42 from the field in the two games). Other highlights included Kyle Collinsworth contributing eight rebounds per game off the bench and sophomore Stephen Rogers having his best game since New Year's Day with 15 points and three threes against TCU.
A look ahead: I'm only reminding you one more time: 11AM PST Saturday morning, your local CBS affiliate. BYU at San Diego State. Watch it.
3. UNLV (21-7, 9-5): We detailed the fact that the Rebels have now won three straight games in our Team of the Week section, but it's interesting that they've done it with different players leading the way in each instance. In the Air Force game, Tre'Von Willis took over and led the team with 13 points and four assists (those numbers may not sound impressive, but it is all relative in a game where the winning team scored 49 points). He continued his strong play in the other two games (eight assists against Colorado State and 25 points, five three, four assists and four steals against New Mexico), but in each case had plenty of help. In the CSU game, Oscar Bellfield led the way with 18 points, including 16 in the second half, to secure the Rebel victory, while it was Quintrell Thomas taking over the game against the Lobos with 19 points and 13 rebounds in place of the fouled-out Chace Stanback. The Rebels still don't have a single go-to guy (although Willis has begun to look willing to take that role back over, despite his nagging knee injury that is not getting any better), and there are plenty of maddeningly inconsistent performers here (with Stanback's yo-yo act the most egregious example), but the good news for Lon Kruger is that he is at least getting somebody to step up every night, even if it is somebody different every time out.
A look ahead: UNLV hosts Air Force on Tuesday, then travels to Colorado State on Saturday with revenge on their minds.
4. Colorado State (18-9, 8-5): The good news for the Rams is that they took care of business against TCU. The bad news is that they struck out in their chances against UNLV and BYU, falling by seven at home to the surging Rebels and by eight at Provo. With the season-ending game at San Diego State the sole remaining "up" game on their schedule, the Rams are faced with the prospect of going into Selection Sunday with a neutral-site win over Southern Miss and a win at UNLV as their sole wins against teams in the top-50 RPI. This year, that could be good enough, but a win over the Aztecs on the final day of the season or a MWC Tournament semifinal win over either BYU or SDSU would go a long ways towards helping Tim Miles sleep well on March 12.
A look ahead: The Rams travel to Air Force, then host Utah, and while a win in either of those games is not going to put them in the NCAA Tournament, a loss might keep them out. Then, on March 5, they travel to San Diego to face the Aztecs on a day when the raucous crowd at Viejas Arena will be saying goodbye to D.J. Gay, Malcolm Thomas, Billy White and likely Kawhi Leonard. Yikes. Good luck with that.
5. New Mexico (17-11, 5-8): So, three straight losses have effectively killed any prayer this Lobo team had of getting an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. And yet, I still think this team is a threat in the MWC Tournament. Why? Well, Dairese Gary is every bit the bulldog that Gay is at SDSU, the type of player who is capable of willing his team to victories down the stretch (although, admittedly, you maybe wouldn't know that following these guys this year). Gordon has turned into a dominant rebounder and athletic presence up front (although he's the consummate black-hole on offense – the ball goes in to the post and never comes back out). Tony Snell, Kendall Williams and Philip McDonald are athletic and skilled wing players who are each capable of catching fire from deep (although (1) Snell is a freshman who has only recently started producing, and inconsistently at that, (2) Williams, also a freshman, has tailed off some since a lightning fast start and (3) McDonald is a complete mystery who is shooting 10 percentage points lower than last year's average from three just 33% from the field in MWC play). And then there's a ton of tough big guys up front to pair with Gordon (none of whom have displayed any hint of desperation in grabbing a rebound, playing solid post defense or setting solid screens). See. They're brilliant!
A look ahead: At TCU, at BYU and home against Air Force as the Lobos play out the string. None of those games mean a thing to the Lobos tournament hopes – they'll need to win three straight games on March 10th, 11th and 12th, or they're NIT bound.
6. Utah (13-15, 6-8): When last we checked in with the Utes, they had lost five straight games and the last two of those by an average of more than 22 points. Jim Boylen's job was in serious jeopardy and they looked to be already in the offseason mentally. Since then, they've strung together three solid wins, albeit against the three teams currently below them in the standings, and by a combined total of 14 points, but you've got to give credit to Boylen for keeping this team playing hard. While circumstances may conspire against him in Utah, he's given the administration some good reasons to consider giving him another chance.
A look ahead: The Utes are down their final two games in their MWC regular season history: at Colorado State next Wednesday and at home against UNLV next Saturday. An NCAA Tournament bid is extremely unlikely (they'd need to win the conference tourney), but if they can extend their momentum a bit longer, perhaps they'll get back on the NIT's radar.
7. Air Force (13-13, 4-9): Four straight losses (and an average of just over 50 points per game in those losses) and all of a sudden, what was looking like a surprisingly strong Falcon season has turned into a fight to hold on to the first-round bye in the MWC title. While Air Force got destroyed on the glass by BYU, UNLV and San Diego State in the first three of those losses, Wednesday's night loss at Wyoming was bizarre basketball. Out of the blue, suddenly the Falcon outrebounded somebody, and at the hands of a Cowboy team that killed them on the glass in their first meeting. Just as surprising, the Falcons turned the ball over 19 times, a stunning number for a team that takes care of the ball well. And, for a third surprise, Wyoming, a team in the bottom quarter of Division I teams in effective field goal percentage, outshot the Falcons, the 22nd best team in the nation in that category. And, through all that, Wyoming snuck out a one-point win.
A look ahead: Tough games at home against Colorado State and at New Mexico surround a very winnable home game against the cellar-dwelling Horned Frogs. Win two of those three games and the Falcons are guaranteed a .500-or-better regular season record.
8. Wyoming (10-17, 3-10): Four games in and Fred Langley's got a 2-2 record as a head coach. Given that Heath Schroyer was 1-8 when he was fired, you'd have to say that it looks like the timing to fire him was right. The biggest boost from the coaching change has undoubtedly been given to sophomore forward Amath M'Baye, who has averaged 20.3 points and 6.5 rebounds under Langley.
A look ahead: Wyoming travels Salt Lake City for a matchup with Utah, where a win could put the Cowboys in seventh place in the conference.
9. TCU (10-19, 1-13): Three more losses, and the assumption is that Jim Christian is a dead man walking; this has turned into a total collapse. With two of the four leading scorers on this team having been kicked off the team, the back-half of this conference season has been little more than tryouts for next year's scholarships. Point guard Hank Thorns has been tough, handing out assists all over the place (he's easily the conference's leading assist man, with nearly seven per game), junior wing J.R. Cadot has come on strong of late (he's had double figure scoring in four straight games and has shown a penchant for rebounding above and beyond his 6'5 frame) and Garlon Green has been a consistently solid performer all season long, but beyond that, this roster is in need of an overhaul.
A look ahead: The Horned Frogs host New Mexico, then travel to Air Force next Wednesday in a game that gives them a solid chance at their second conference win.

A federal judge ruled in favor of reporter James Risen, who invoked his First Amendment rights to protect a confidential source. The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and other groups called the ruling an important victory for the press. The Department of Justice, which appealed the decision, continued to take an aggressive approach in filing criminal charges against people who leak classified information. U.S. journalist groups were also troubled that increasing numbers of case documents were being sealed by the Supreme Court. CPJ reported that the State Department fell short in its first year of implementing the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act, which requires that press freedom issues be incorporated into the agency's annual country reports on human rights. WikiLeaks was in the headlines again when it disclosed thousands of classified, unredacted U.S. diplomatic cables. An Ethiopian journalist was forced to flee his country after he was cited in a cable. Police in five cities arrested reporters and photographers covering Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, often claiming the journalists did not have sufficient accreditation. At least three other journalists covering Occupy events were attacked by protesters or police officers.
The Supreme Court has sealed an increasing number of records and documents in recent years, according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press.
Two men were convicted in June on charges of orchestrating the 2007 murder of editor Chauncey Bailey in Oakland. Yusuf Bey IV, found guilty of ordering the murder, and accomplice Antoine Mackey were later sentenced to life in prison. The gunman, who pleaded guilty in 2009, is serving a 25-year sentence.
This was the first full calendar year since 2003 in which no journalist was held in U.S. custody abroad, CPJ research shows. Beginning in 2004, U.S. military forces held numerous journalists in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantánamo Bay on vague assertions that they posed security threats. They were all held without charge or due process.
Imprisoned by U.S. forces abroad, as documented on CPJ's annual December 1 surveys:
2005: 5
2006: 2
2007: 2
2008: 1
2009: 1
2010: 0 (A detainee was released in February 2010)
2011: 0
Ethiopian journalist Argaw Ashine was forced to flee his country after WikiLeaks disclosed a U.S. diplomatic cable in which his name appeared. Ethiopian police interrogated Ashine when the cable disclosed that he had told U.S. diplomats about a potential press crackdown.
As police nationwide rounded up protesters demonstrating in allegedly unauthorized places, they also detained journalists covering the events. Press accreditation was at the center of several cases as police refused to acknowledge journalists who did not carry what they considered to be official accreditation. Assaults were also reported, including an attack in Oakland that left a cameraman with a concussion.
17: Arrests. Police arrested journalists in New York, Oakland, Nashville, Richmond, and Milwaukee.
1: Attack by police. In New York, a Fox 5 crew was hit by pepper spray and police batons as protesters broke past barriers and police sought to contain them.
2: Attacks by protesters. In Oakland, several men assaulted KGO cameraman Randy Davis as he was trying to film the aftermath of a fatal shooting at a protest site. In New York, a demonstrator seized a reporter's microphone.

Coptis Root
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 15, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Coptis Root
Coptis Root is an herb that consists of the rhizome of Coptis chinensis. Coptis plants are cultivated mainly in the provinces of Hubei, Sichuan and Yunnan in China. Coptis Root is collected in the autumn and then dried under the sun after it is cleaned of rootlets and earth.
The Coptis species, the source of the Coptis Root, are perpetual herbs with stalks that are long and that shoots up directly from the ground. It has lobed and intricately dissected leaves and tiny greenish-white flowers. The rhizomes are brownish on the outside and either orange or yellow on the inside.
History and Origin
Coptis is mostly found in the eastern region of Asia and is a relative of goldenseal, a North American herb. During the 1700s and 1800s in North America, Coptis Root was known as the "King of the Herbs". It was the Native American Indians who taught the early settlers the use of Coptis Root for the treatment of canker sores, poor digestion, mouth sores, and infections. The Mohawk Indians also used Coptis Root in combination with the sap of white ash for the treatment of deafness. Since the demand for Coptis Root was great, its supply became scarce, which led the users to turn to Goldenseal as a replacement.
Today, the supplies for Coptis Root are plentiful and are often used as a substitute for goldenseal. Both goldenseal and Coptis Root have berberine that has been proven to help battle certain kinds of fungi, bacteria, and help advance healing.
Ancient Uses
Most traditional Chinese herbalists use Coptis Root in treating diarrhea, bacterial infections, gastrointestinal concerns, and hypertension. It was also used in protecting and keeping the gallbladder healthy. The Native American Indians used Coptis Root for the treatment of infections, canker sores, and indigestions. It was also used to treat ear infections and even deafness.
Modern Uses
Coptis Root helps increase the flow of blood in the body and promotes having a healthy liver. It is also used as a laxative and for the relief of pains and inflammations. Coptis Root is also effective in treating digestive dysfunction, dysentery, disorientation, and high fever, as well as insomnia, inflammation of the mouth, ear infections, irritability, and palpitations of the heart.
Coptis Root is also helpful in treating basal cell carcinoma, liver cancer, eye disorders, parasitic infections, and tuberculosis. Coptis Root is able to kill the organisms that cause trichmoniasis and giardiasis infections of the urinary tract and osteomyelitis, a kind of bone infection of the fingers.
Side Effects
Coptis Root is not advisable to be used by pregnant and lactating mothers. In order to avoid any untoward results, strict attention and focus should be given to its dosage. Coptis Root is enormously bitter and regular use may cause vomiting and nausea. Therefore, it should not be taken in large amounts for a long period of time.
Coptis Root may interfere with the absorption of some antibiotics due to its berberine content. It can also lower blood sugar in people with diabetes, irritate the stomach, or cause numbness and tingling sensations. However, the side-effects are minor and are only temporary.

Major Adviser: Melinda A. Cozzolino, Chair of Graduate Program, email@example.com
The Department of Occupational Therapy offers a five-year master of science program in occupational therapy in which students receive a B.S. degree in occupational science and an M.S. degree in occupational therapy after the fifth year. Students must complete the fifth year to be eligible for the national certification examination and state licensure as occupational therapists. This program is designed as a freshman-entry program, and graduate students are admitted only from the Ithaca College undergraduate occupational science program. The undergraduate component of this program is described in the Ithaca College undergraduate catalog.
Undergraduate Catalog
The fifth year of the occupational therapy program takes place on the Ithaca College campus and at clinical fieldwork sites located throughout the country. The graduate year of study consists of 40 credits of graduate work, including 16 credits of clinical fieldwork education. The graduate year includes one full academic year of study and two summers. Students may elect a thesis or non-thesis option, but all engage in research-related activities during this year, which is designed to provide depth and breadth of education beyond traditional entry-level occupational therapy education.
The occupational therapy program at Ithaca College is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA, 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 331220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220. Telephone: 301-652-AOTA).
American Occupational Therapy Association
Graduates of the master's degree program will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination administrated by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the graduate will be an occupational therapist, registered (OTR). In New York and most other jurisdictions, a professional license is also required for practice. Although the NBCOT examination generally serves as the licensing examination, graduates are required to apply separately for certification and state licensure before entering clinical practice.
National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy
To be eligible for admission, students must have completed the B.S. degree program in occupational science at Ithaca College with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher. Students who have completed the degree with a cumulative GPA below 3.00, but equal to or greater than 2.70, will be required to pass a departmental graduate admissions examination at the completion of the spring semester of their senior year to be admitted to the graduate program.
Students are expected to maintain a GPA of 3.00 or higher during their graduate studies. Students may not receive a C (C-, C, or C+) for more than 6 credits, or an F for more than 3 credits during their graduate academic study. Students who fail to meet these standards in any semester will be placed on academic warning.
If a student receives a grade of F for a level II fieldwork class, he or she will be placed on academic warning by the department and the Division of Graduate Studies. The student must register for and successfully complete an alternate fieldwork assignment as scheduled by the academic fieldwork coordinator. The faculty may require remedial work or apply special conditions that the student must meet before he or she is allowed to repeat this class. If the student successfully completes this course, he or she may continue in the program; however, no one will be allowed to repeat of a level II fieldwork class more than once.
These policies, as well as academic, clinical, and professional behavior standards, are published in the Occupational Therapy Student Manual, the Occupational Therapy Fieldwork Manual, and the Ithaca College undergraduate catalog.

In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Success Stories
Here we celebrate success and share stories! Weight loss is about confidence, and knowing that others have accomplished the same task you've set out to conquer can be powerful motivation to reach your goal.
Weight can not only damage your health and physical appearance, it can damage your mental well-being. Learn from Mia how her program helped her revitalize herself.
Far too many people believe that a weight loss program means certain negative things. At the top of this list is the idea that in order to lose weight, one must expect to deal with low levels of energy. This isn't a harmless myth. The fact of the matter is that this myth is causing people tremendous harm in their lives, as the exact opposite is actually true.
With the right approach, and the optimal weight loss program, it is possible for you to achieve your weight loss and health goals. Many people have discovered this truth for themselves while on the bistroMD program, even after years of living with this painful misconception. One such person was Mia, a bistroMD program member.
Mia, however, was very lucky as she was able to discover what so many dieters never do - a healthy path to sustained weight loss. She found that something wonderful can happen when one is armed with the right information, the right help and the right weight loss program. By eating the healthiest foods, it is possible to do more than just lose weight; it is possible to increase one's energy levels at the same exact time!
Does this sound like a revelation to you? If so, don't worry because you most definitely are not alone. Most people don't realize that you can go on a weight loss program and see your energy levels not just increase, but actually soar at the exact same time! It sounds too good to be true, but it isn't. In fact, the "secret" is no real secret at all.
Energy and vitality are dependent on fueling the body with high-quality nutrition. This is where bistroMD comes into play. Thanks to our innovative weight loss program, Mia was able to see her health improve dramatically - all while she lost weight and saw her energy levels go through the roof.
BistroMD's co-founder, Caroline J. Cederquist, M.D., created bistroMD from the ground up using her 20 plus years of clinical experience helping people lose weight as her guide. She realized that the diet industry and medical community weren't providing people with the nutrition they needed to realize healthy weight loss. Dr. Cederquist strongly believed that people like Mia could be helped in a very simple manner. They need to receive an optimal nutritional foundation that supports excellent health outcomes, such as weight loss and increased energy levels.
There is a real synergy between having more energy and losing weight. A diet that gives you more energy means that you can do more. For example, it becomes much easier to exercise, and this is exactly what Mia experienced in her own life. Once she opted for bistroMD as her weight loss program, her health improved considerably. She lost weight and began to feel much better. In fact, her debilitating condition, known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy improved dramatically. Mia's life was truly transformed.
The right nutrition matters when it comes to weight loss. Having the best weight loss program can make a true difference in your life as well. These days, Mia is living a happy and healthier life. She has not only transformed her approach to food, but also her overall health and well-being!
Simply answer a few questions so we can figure out your weight loss goals and provide solutions for a lighter, healthier you. Our weight loss meal plans are designed to help real people achieve real and lasting success.

Kim Severson, Chad Robertson, Sue Conley
Somebody get Kim Severson a TV gig stat.
Seriously, The New York Times staff writer, currently the Atlanta bureau chief, is friendly and funny — she reminds me a little of Ellen DeGeneres — and a top-notch interviewer to boot.
And Severson knows food: She covers the beat for the Times and before that for the San Francisco Chronicle. Last year she authored Spoon Fed: How Eight Cooks Saved My Life, where she sings the praises of a group of female food icons, including Alice Waters and Ruth Reichl, who have played an important role in her personal and professional life. In an increasingly overcrowded genre (food memoir) Spoon Fed stands out for both its authenticity and candor.
Severson was in conversation March 2 as part of the City Arts & Lectures series with cheese maker Sue Conley, the co-founder of the celebrated Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station, and master baker Chad Robertson, co-owner with wife and pastry chef Elisabeth Prueitt of Tartine Bakery and Bar Tartine in the Mission, where long lines can be found for the store's over-the-top baked goods, desserts, and Robertson's coveted rustic bread.
The baker's new book, Tartine Bread (Chronicle Books, $40), is a step-by-step guide to making his signature loaves — complete with 29-page instructions for his Basic Country Bread. Queuing to buy may not seem as daunting as tackling his trademark crust. (Read a recent review of Tartine Bread on BAB by Megan Gordon.)
The topic for the evening? "On Artisan Food," which seemed fitting for two food purveyors known for their singular obsessions, turning out small batches of award-winning, high-quality products using premium ingredients. What could be a more fundamental food than bread and cheese? And yet these two craftspeople have elevated their chosen culinary pursuit to cult-like status.
Am I alone in thinking the Herbst Theatre — with its bright lights, high-backed, stiff-looking chairs, Persian rug, and formal backdrop — is not the warmest or coziest of places to curl up for a chat in front of an audience numbering in the hundreds?
Here's where Severson showed her craft. From the get-go she loosened up the crowd and her interview subjects with one well-placed quip after another. There was the nod to the news with a Charlie Sheen reference and the jokey asides; when Conley confessed that her adventures with cheese began when she fell for a Marin County park ranger Severson sighed: "Ah, that's where it always start." She asked the probing questions in a soft-peddled way, with queries like: "Is there a point in every small producers life where you just want to see your products on the shelves at Costco?" which played for good-natured laughs.
Another thing I admired: Severson didn't use the stage as an opportunity to flack her own book, which is just plain tacky. Trust me, though, I've been to enough of these kinds of evenings to witness such bad behavior. At a recent book event the interviewer in question used his allotted time with the audience to talk up his own tome as often as possible, and while he promised to ask the author sitting next to him about his own work it never happened. Cringe worthy.
Severson teased out interesting tidbits that engaged both her fellow stage members and the audience. Who knew Robertson's wife is gluten-intolerant and can't eat wheat? Or that Cowgirl Creamery stopped selling its popular quark (a spreadable, creamy cheese) because it didn't pass muster with a then 80-something taste tester searching for the soft cheese of his German youth.
There was plenty of talk about cheese rinds, bread starts, and what it means to be a food artisan too. Also discussed: Conley's self-described epic fails and Robertson's new-found fascination with ancient whole grains. And there was Severson's running gag about resenting waiting in line for "100 hours" for Robertson's bread ("I'm not bitter."). The entire program is scheduled for broadcast on KQED this Sunday, May 1 at 1 p.m. Take note: Robertson offers frustrated food lovers a tip about how to avoid the crowds at Tartine too.

Like a lot of Countdown players, I am very prone to missing easy words. Usually in a game, I would miss at least one word I would normally get, depending on my form.
What causes you to miss easy words or lose form? I expect it is a combination of health (physical and mental) factors, how you're feeling and things in your mind etc. In most games, it feels as if my brain just cannot keep up with doing 15 whole rounds to my best despite feeling fine. I often have the 'lost it' phase or even just blank. What else can course you to have the odd brain clog? Even some of the best players experience this, but some players are more able to keep their brain on form during the game. I have Aspergers, but plenty of players on Apterous have it so I reckon it might affect people in different ways, can Aspergers/Autism play a part in this? I had a few games just now when I missed a few words I would normally get like primates (for misrate).
I also sometimes struggle to relax in certain rounds (even the easier ones) or even games. What courses players to struggle to relax or how do people relax into a game or on set? Obviously that would cause easy misses. I always get really nervous on crucial conundrums, which might be what slows me down on them. Conundrums feel like my main let down right now even though I am improving a bit.
What causes easy misses
All discussion relevant to Countdown that is not too spoilerific. New members: come here first to introduce yourself. We don't bite, or at least rarely.

Re: What causes easy misses
Was thinking that as well. I've been playing for nearly a year and a half now. Do you mean the more frequently you practice or the amount of practice you get in total? I don't have time to do that much practice, but my brain always gets tired after a few games in a row. Does more practice make it take longer for your brain to get tired?Jon O'Neill wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:06 pmThe more you practise, the less it happens.
They seem like weird questions, but it is interesting lol.

Re: What causes easy misses
Yes, primarily because with enough practice, the process of word-spotting gradually transitions from an active process of rearranging letters and searching for words (which requires some mental effort) to a process of merely recognising sets of letters and recalling words you mentally associate with them (which, once the associations are lodged in your mind, takes virtually no effort at all).Peter Clarke wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:19 pmDoes more practice make it take longer for your brain to get tired?Jon O'Neill wrote: ↑Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:06 pmThe more you practise, the less it happens.

Winter Uniform
6 Comments On "Winter Uniform"
I love them all! Especially the gold and black. Where do you find the material?
Hi Molly – they are crocheted with this really nice Alpaca wool that I've been using these last few years.
Your designs are beautiful! Would be willing to share your patterns (if you have them available) or some pointers on making these astonishing pieces (especially the tan and black poncho). Thank you for sharing , they're an inspiration! Also, I respect it if you'd wish not to share ;).
Thank you Caitlin! And I would share the patterns if I had them – but unfortunately I don't use any… I just make the shapes up as I go along.
Andrea, you has been an inspiration for me. I knitted 3 winter uniforms for me last 2012 in Alpaca wool which we can find here in Chile, becouse I think that one must work in good material due to the hard work that it means knitting a complete crocheted dress. I love so much my uniforms and thank you for inspiring me!!!

Have you ever thought about how awkward first dates really are? You barely know the person, probably are going to be short for questions and comments, and chances are you are extremely nervous because you want to make a good impression. But we've all been there and gone to dinner with that guy from the accounting department or the girl from the coffee shop. I'm also sure we've all had to deal with the utter shock and dismay when you reach to offer to pay for the bill and the only thing in your back pocket is a note from your mother asking you to turn the lights off when you get home. You've just successfully eliminated all chances of a second date. Imagine how much perspiration would be saved if you could just pay for the meal with your cell phone. You would never "forget your wallet" again as your mobile device is likely glued to your left hand. Lucky for all you first daters, this is actually going to be a possibility. Lucky for the marketers, mobile payment systems are a whole new space to explore and new technology to utilize.
Google Mobile Wallet
Google has announced their NFC- based Google Wallet, which is a mobile payment system designed to allow users to pay for retail items with their phone just by tapping. Google has teamed up with giants such as Subway, Macy's and MasterCard. The partnership with MasterCard in particular will allow Google Wallet users to pay at any PayPass contactless system already installed. Payment isn't the only draw to this wallet; by tapping at locations consumers would receive offers and promotions directly to their mobile device otherwise known as Google Offers. While trials are underway in NYC and San Francisco, Google is hoping for a full release this summer. We can only imagine what's next: boarding passes, SIN cards, gametes. Regardless what it is, I'm sure Google will make it happen.
Visa developed this contactless card to compete with MasterCard's PayPass but has not teamed up with DeviceFidelity to apply a mobile twist. They applied the smart chip technology from the card into mobile devices so that users just need to select the icon and wave their device over the payment system. Their pilot project is taking place in LA and New York transit systems including taxis. Their objective is making Visa usage more efficient and secure while eliminating cash handling for transit operators. Furthermore, it saves transit riders from scavenging the streets for those additional pennies to make the accurate change to ride the rail.
Apple + Square
As Google Mobile Wallet and Visa Pay Wave are in the process of creating more efficient processing systems, Apple and others are keeping it creative with a temporary solution, Square. This nifty device was developed to ease online payments for consumers purchasing with their iPad or iPhone or other mobile device. Merchants develop an account for a small few and users just buy the device for $10 allowing quick and easy credit card payments on-the-go. By pairing this with location based services, consumers will be able to walk by a retail store, receive an offer that blows them away and pay for it all through their handheld mobile device. Talk about handy.
Mobile payment systems not only make shopping easier for customers but more efficient and productive for merchants as transactions will be faster, safer and less fraudulent. Furthermore, it is developing a whole new customer experience as its cool, unique and fun to be spending money. Google Mobile Wallet has broken ground with this technology and has created a space, which allows for almost anything to go mobile. As marketers, there are opportunities to target these customers into retail locations that are housing the contactless payment systems and offering them deals. Now that we know where payment systems are headed, you better go trade in your best goat for the newest iPhone.

Mezcal Made Good
I experienced some serious intimidation pretty much as soon as I opened the bottle. I got a little whiff of tequila and a big ol' whiff of campfire. Which is quite appropriate, since mezcal is distilled from the fire-roasted heart of the agave plant. So what's the difference between tequila and mezcal? They're both made from the juice of the agave plant, but tequila (according to Mexican law) must be made from blue agave, and the hearts are steamed instead of being roasted.
Mezcal comes in a few different varieties, like tequila - the "joven" variety is unaged and has a very strong agave flavor. Other varieties include reposado, which is aged up to a year in oak barrels, anejo, which is aged between one and three years, and super anejo, which is aged more than three years. Aged mezcals, like aged tequilas, are more mellow and have a bit of an oaky flavor.
It's a misconception that mezcal is "the one with the worm" - according to wikipedia, this began as a marketing gimmick in the 1940s. (The "worm" is actually the larvae of a moth that lives on the agave. Um...ew.) These days if you see a worm in the bottle it means it's probably not very good mezcal. The wikipedia article also says this: "Despite the similar name, mezcal does not contain mescaline or other psychedelic substances". Bummer.
Taste test time! I am tasting Sombra Joven mezcal. As you see in the picture.
Smell: Like tequila. And a campfire. And, very weirdly...a whole lot like my pediatrician's office. Really. I'm at a loss. You how smells conjure up memories? When I smell mezcal, I've five, and I'm hanging out in the waiting room, and once again I'm disappointed that all those other little bastards broke all the furniture for the little people house. Because that's what being sick is all about, when you're little: playing with someone else's toys.
I can't explain it.
Taste: A little bit like tequila. But mostly like a campfire.
Before I made a good drink with mezcal, I made a whole lot of really, really bad ones. For example: tequila makes for a wonderful peach margarita, but add mezcal and you get the entirely underwhelming experience of drinking a vaguely fruit-flavored campfire. Maybe, I thought, the peach flavor was too weak. Mezcal needed a strong partner, so I turned to our friend the mango. I could taste the mango, but it mingled with the smokiness in my mouth to form a discordant symphony of nastiness.
I don't give up easily. But it's hard not to give up when your best effort is a cocktail that tastes like a tropical fruit with the disturbing aftertaste of your pediatrician's office. I thought about throwing in the towel. I could pour the rest of the mezcal down the drain, and I wouldn't have to tell anyone. I would be the only person to know what a dismal failure I was. Two things stopped me: 1. I am really stubborn, and 2. good mezcal is really expensive.
I searched the internet, hoping for inspiration, but everything I found either contained some bitter aperitif like Campari or Cynar (not really my thing), or was stupidly complicated, or was...a margarita. With mezcal in it. Which I already knew was gross, because of course I tried that. Then one day I ran across the menu of Mayahuel, a cocktail den in New York devoted entirely to tequila and mezcal. They had a cocktail made with mezcal, tequila, and pomegranate molasses. Pomegranate molasses...brilliant. It's strong, like the mango, but not too sweet. And rich enough to hold its own with all that smoke. It was a huge breakthrough. Angel choirs sang. It was as if the heavens had parted for a split second to let the light of cocktail wisdom shine down.
To my mezcal cocktail I added ginger - another strong, not-too-sweet flavor. (Plus ginger + mezcal came recommended by the great Dale Degroff. Although he also recommended the mango and we saw how that turned out.) Ginger beer, naturally, because mezcal needs something powerful. And of course, ginger beer made me think of the Moscow Mule, a totally famous classic cocktail. Okay, a moderately famous classic cocktail.
The Moscow Mule
(recipe from Ted Haigh's excellent "Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails")
juice and peels of 1/2 lime
2 oz vodka
ginger beer
Squeeze the lime into an old-fashioned glass. (This drink is supposed to be drunk in a copper mug, but I didn't have one so I had to make do.) Fill with ice, add the vodka, and top with ginger beer. Spicy and refreshing.
So at this point I was going to talk about how the Moscow Mule was my starting point, and then maybe throw in a recipe for a Mississippi Mule (even though a Mississippi Mule has gin and cassis and lemon and no ginger beer and doesn't really have anything to do with these drinks at all), and then present my mezcal cocktail, called the "Mexico Mule", and call the post something cute like "a tale of three mules". Only, as I was writing it I realized that the word "mule" has come to have certain uh, other meanings, and calling a drink the Mexico Mule might be a little tasteless. So instead I have dubbed my creation the "whoa mama", because that's what you will think when you drink it.
The Whoa Mama
1/2 oz pomegranate molasses*
1.5 oz joven mezcal
3/4 oz fresh-sqeezed lime juice
2 oz ginger beer
*You can find this at ethnic groceries or the trusty downtown Spec's. Or you can make your own, like I did. The stuff you make at home has the advantage of being A. deliciouser and B., prettier - the homemade stuff is maroon (whoop) whereas storebought pomegranate molasses is brown, which makes for a not so pretty cocktail.
**If you don't have mezcal, this is also pretty delicious with tequila. Although you'll be missing out on all that special smoke flavor.
Add all ingredients but the ginger beer to a cocktail shaker full of ice; shake and strain into a cocktail glass, then add the ginger beer. Alternatively, you can serve this drink in a highball glass over ice: add pomegranate molasses, mezcal, and lime juice to an ice-filled glass; stir for 30 seconds. Add the ginger beer and stir once more. The over-ice version will stay colder longer (obviously), but as the ice melts the smoky flavor will be less distinct.
Verdict: Sweet jumping jehosephat, this is good. All the flavors blend together perfectly. It's like a coke, but full of BOOZE and AWESOME. (Sorry, propensity for all caps is leaking over from Bachelor Blog. Plus I am SUPER EXCITED about this drink.) Smoke and ginger and pomegranate and lime...HOLY CRAP, THIS IS SO GOOD. I'm so sorry, mezcal. Forgive me for thinking that you tasted gross and like a doctor's office. This is the cocktail that you were waiting to be mixed into all along.

I once had a really delicious, almost savory, super simple mezcal cocktail that I would love to recreate at home (alas, I can't find mezcal anywhere around here). I think it was just mezcal, pineapple juice, and a pinch of chili powder with a salted rim.ReplyDelete

Recently was introduced to Mezcal and have fallen in love! It's great on its own, but combined with the right flavorings, it can be phenomenal in a cocktail. I love the smokiness it imparts in a drink.ReplyDelete
BTW, great blog! :-)
- AnonymousMarch 7, 2011 at 2:34 PM
Whoa Mama indeed! I like mezcal and I also like mezcal cocktails, and this is a winner. Great complexity - there is a lot going on here. The pomegranate perfectly offsets the mezcal and ginger beer adds a nice pop and fizz, but you still kept the character of the mexcal intact. Nice!ReplyDelete

I just made my first Mezcal cocktail and thought it came out quite excellent: mysterious and smokey. Reading here and elsewhere that Mezcal pairs well with ginger, I made a simple cocktail as follows: 2.25 oz Mezcal + 0.75 oz Canton Ginger Liqueur; shake with ice and strain into martini glass. Delicious!ReplyDelete

Funny, I thinking about making some Mezcal Margaritas this weekend because I had remembered how tasty they can be. Thinking back in my travels I had remembered an awesome bar in NY that had such tasty cocktails. This prompted my Mezcal search and found this blog. Reading further to my surprise the restaurant was mentioned in this article and it blew my mind. What are the odds? Mayahuel is the place... It was recommended to me by my brothers girlfriend and thank god she did. I am lucky to have been to this amazing little bar and it was a nice treat on my business trip. Next time I am in NY I will not miss this place for dinner and cocktails. Amazing selection of fine Agave spirits. No I don not work there... lol I am from RI.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all the info! After all I prefer tequila, and even more, great traditional tequila like tequila amor mío, milagro and alebrijes.ReplyDelete
Really I enjoy your site with effective and useful information. It is included very nice post with a lot of our resources.thanks for share. i enjoy this post. where to buy mezcalReplyDelete

I Started an Online Tree Error, or (Mis)Using Blogs as Sources
I never meant any harm. We were all having such a good time, back in February of 2010. It was the Geneabloggers Games: sources were being cited, data was being backed up - there was activity all over the geneablogging community.
I was in the middle of work on the Norman family - the ginormongous family of J.M.C. Norman, to be exact. I started on the Newton Leonard Norman family. The oldest child was daughter Dissie.
My trusty guide in this endeavor was Inez Cline. Her Norman Family History, based on extensive interviews with numerous Norman family members, contained this one throwaway line on Dissie Norman: "b. Aug. 5, 1891 d. Oct. 9, 1908 m. Jack Norman, son of Jane. Her other son named Moore. No issue." No one else had ever listed a husband for Dissie - because her last name never changed.
This led me to try to untangle an intriguing mystery - was Jack Norman related to "my" Normans? - and at every step of the way, another mystery would pop up, making the whole story almost Southern Gothic in its twists, turns, and possible scandals. Central to these mysteries was the identity of Sarah Jane "Aunt Jane" Norman: mother of Dissie's husband Jackson Norman (apparently illegitimate), mother of Tom Peat Norman (most likely the illegitimate son of a member of a neighboring Moore family for whom Jane had worked as a servant), and finally, last wife of the colorful and oft-married Civil War veteran Zara Cotton.
I ended up writing an 8-post series on this for the Geneabloggers Games:
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 1
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 2
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 3
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 4
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 5
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 6
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 7
Mystery Normans and Source Citations - Part 8
Part 5, dealing with my efforts to find Sarah Jane Norman's family, is the misleading post: "I was starting to suspect that Norman was [Sarah] Jane's maiden name. I went back to look at the entry for her in Findagrave, and was stunned to see a name there that I had somehow failed to see the first time: 'Daughter of Louisiana Norman.'" "Not to jump to conclusions, but … Joseph Madison Carroll Norman had a sister named Louisiana."
And this must be the origin of the error for which I am now responsible.
I found this error last night in someone's Public Member Tree on Ancestry: Husband of Dissie Norman > Jack Norman. Mother of Jack Norman > Sarah Jane Norman. Mother of Sarah Jane Norman > Louisiana Norman. Parents of Louisiana Norman > Thomas S. Norman and Nancy Larue. Those are J.M.C. Norman's parents. That makes this Louisiana Norman J.M.C.'s sister.
This is the only other public tree I have seen with a husband for Dissie Norman. And it is definitely the only tree listing J.M.C. Norman's sister Louisiana as Sarah Jane Norman's mother. And my blog is the only place where this relationship has ever been posited.
Note to person with this family tree. Honey, you need to read the entire series. Because in the last post I kind of busted this theory by finding a husband - John Norman - for this Louisiana/Lousa/whatever her name was: "And this John Norman was born in Alabama. That doesn't mean that he was one of "my" Normans, but it doesn't rule it out, either."
So, for what it's worth: Louisiana Norman, daughter of Thomas Norman and Nancy Larue, was not the mother of Sarah Jane Norman, mother of Jackson Norman who married Dissie Norman, daughter of Newton Leonard Norman.
That and a note to the owner of the Ancestry tree should fix it, right?
Who am I kidding. My half-baked (and busted) theory is going to be perpetuated for eternity.

Oh, so you're familiar with this phenomenon... that'll teach us to share!Delete
I've worried about the same thing happening with my blog since it's a record of my process and any given post might not be the conclusion on a particular line. On some posts I go back and add an update in brackets. I've thought about making sure I do this for every case when my theory and/or conclusion changes.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I've thought of doing this, too, but in this case I thought, "Well, the final post clears it up," but as is pointed out below, if someone finds a post through a search, they might not notice that the post is part of a series.Delete

Anyways, don't worry about it too much. I think genealogy is a work in progress, and we can't be worried about the people who want to truncate the experience and go straight for the jugular of absolutes.
One thing you probably could do when you do an extended series is make sure that each part in the series links to both the next and previous installment, so that you make it ULTRA easy for readers to navigate the whole series (and realize that it is a series in the first place--you'd be surprised at the number of people who don't read post titles).
Other than that, I don't know what you can do. Alas, it happens to us all. =)Replies
Jennifer - I like your suggestion and will try to do that for all of my "series" posts in the future. I actually did that for previous series posts I had done, but I was popping these off each day, taking most of my time to put the citations in, so I sort of skimped on the links.Delete
Nobody died in that error..ReplyDeleteReplies
Good perspective!Delete
Anyone serious about genealogy will double-check everything, not just scrape info from a blog (even one as good as YOURS) and paste it into a tree, so this isn't really your fault IMHO. Family trees are never "final" anyway, which is what your blog (and my blog and other gen blogs) are all about. So please don't beat yourself up too badly!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Marian - I'm kind of resigned to what happened, but I think I'll be more cautious about adding "This is PURE SPECULATION" to posts like this.Delete

1. Claudia is right.
2. So was everyone else.
3. I have folks who copy and paste a birth record for one of my Priscilla's to use as a record for THEIR Priscilla. Not the same Priscilla. I finally got so annoyed I put a comment on my Pricilla stating that mine was not the one they were looking for and then directed them to the tree they were looking for.Replies
Cheri - Thank you for your sympathy, and your procedure is a good one to use to keep such mistakes from occurring.Delete
There will always be people that will grab and not verify (or read completely). We can't do much but cringe and hope they get it right someday!ReplyDeleteReplies
There was definitely a lot of cringing going on here....Delete
Hi Greta, I feel your pain. I'm the one who inserts that one little extra character or misspelling so that I know when my notes have been copied. I was wondering did this person attribute the (mis)information she copied to her online tree to your blog? This was a good catch.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ginger - Your method sounds like what my husband does - on all of his published work, he inserts one bogus footnote (always the same one) - so that he can recognize and prove that the copy was taken from his work. No, this was an Ancestry tree and there was no indication of where the information came from. On my Ancestry trees I enter place names using my own system (unabbreviated word "County" added, do not include "United States" in location, etc.) so that I know when people have copied simply by clicking on my entries, and I have found several groups of people copied this way from my trees (no big deal to me, just curiosity). On the other hand, some people are more meticulous about showing where their information comes from. One person included in her notes an entire discussion thread from a RootsWeb discussion board in which I had provided information on a heretofore unknown husband of one her ancestors.Delete
Not your fault someone only read part of the story.ReplyDelete
I hardly ever go back and ETA on old blog posts. I update with the new information and tag the entry as usual.
On a series, I will generally give links at the bottom of each entry to the other entries in the series.

I'm definitely going to start linking all of my posts. I guess this experience definitely goes to show the weakness of Google searches!Delete

Yes, yes. Japanes role-playing game Final Fantasy XIII-2 is getting downloadable costumes that include Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed outfits. If you didn't find the screenshots thrilling, here is the AC trailer... you might find thrilling.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again: I really don't understand the point of these cross game costume collaborations. If I want to play a character dressed as Ezio, I'll play Assassin's Creed. If I'm playing Final Fantasy, I'd rather play characters dressed as, you know, FF characters. I don't think that's an unreasonable request.
