Obamas attend Holiday Concert
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Christmas should be a time to share our blessings with the less fortunate, such as those in hospitals, shelters and battlefields far from home.
The first family attended Sunday's "Christmas in Washington" concert, which benefits the Children's National Medical Center.
In brief remarks, Obama said Christianity teaches that on Christmas, "a child was born so that we might have eternal life."
He said other faiths also teach that "we're all better off when we treat our brothers and sisters with the same love and compassion that we want for ourselves."
Before the show, Obama was accompanied by his wife, Michelle, and daughters, Sasha and Malia, as he presented a basket of books to four former patients of the medical center, who were dressed as elves.

Career guidance as a tool of success
Mwebya Fred
Se registró el día 27 de julio de 2012

Its a very common habit for parents,teachers and community
leaders to think that simply taking a child to school is enough.
So many times society forgets that taking a career requires a
child to take an informed decision so as to discover their real
strengths and weaknesses.
Going to college to study medicine or engineering means you are fully aware of the choices you are making if not then its like starting a journey to a destination that is unknown.
So i am calling upon all the parents and society out there please
taking a child to school is just one of the steps but following
and guiding your child in career is the most important thing if
his/her education is to positively impact their future.

The suspect in an Oct. 6 shooting in Adrian was caught Friday in Youngstown, Ohio, said Adrian police.
Angel Rodriguez, 21, of Adrian, was caught by United States marshals at about 11 a.m. after they went to his sister's apartment in Youngstown to look for the fugitive. He attempted to jump from a third-floor window, Dean Michael, U.S. Marshal Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force leader, told WKBN news in Youngstown. He said Rodriguez surrendered a short time later after "encountering" a Youngstown police dog.
Rodriguez was taken to the Mahoning County Jail to await extradition to Michigan.
A warrant charging Rodriguez with a felony assault count was issued by the Lenawee County Prosecutor's Office after he was identified as a suspect in the shooting of a long-time friend.
The victim, also 21, was shot once in the chest after the two got into an argument while driving at about 3:35 a.m. on that Saturday morning. The victim was hospitalized and is recovering.
Rodriguez and the victim had been drinking together that night and, according to witnesses, had argued earlier about $80 in cash and a cellphone, said Adrian police Detective Gregory Walsh. A dispute of some sort erupted between the two as they were driving on Division Street, he said. They stopped in a parking area behind an apartment house in the 200 block of Division Street, got out of the car and the victim was shot, he said.
Rodriguez fled Adrian after the incident.
Walsh said after learning Rodriguez may have gone to Ohio, help was sought from the U.S. Marshals Service office in Detroit. That agency took over the search, he said, and were aided by the OMNI Team 3 narcotics team.

An area transportation planning group went a step beyond saying no to proposed ferry tolls.
An area transportation planning group went a step beyond saying no to proposed ferry tolls.
Members of the transportation advisory committee of the Down East Rural Planning Organization said the General Assembly needs to look at the funding issue again and from a statewide perspective.
�We�re asking them to revisit the issue with a more equitable view,� said Atlantic Beach Mayor Trace Cooper, chairman of the DERPO group, which represents Onslow, Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico counties.
Cooper said North Carolina�s ferries are as much a part of the state�s transportation system as the roads, bridges and other infrastructure across the state; and funding methods should be equitable.
The issue of raising an additional $5 million a year for the N.C. Ferry Division through either new or increased tolls for ferry use has been on the table for several years. Last year, legislators turned the decision regarding whether or not a ferry should be tolled to local transportation planning group.
The Down East RPO faced a decision on whether or not to endorse a toll for the Cherry Branch-Minnesott ferry route.
The issue came up in discussions and the group chose to take no action, expressing its opposition.
A series of public hearings on the issue ended last week and while the public input period is open until the end of the month, Cooper said the committee knew what its decision would be.
�It was pretty clear they weren�t for tolling the ferry,� he said.
During the latest as well as previous public meetings on the issue, there has been widespread opposition to the ferry tolling plan, particularly new tolls for commuter routes.
Routes like the Cherry Branch-Minnesott one are highly used as a link between Pamlico and Craven counties, particularly for military and civilian commuters headed to and from work at Cherry Point.
�The ferry from Cherry Branch and Minnesott is a commuter ferry and I don�t see why it�s any different than anyone commuting to and from work on our roads,� Cooper said.
Regional transportation planning organizations are expected to consider the tolling issue for routes in their respective areas in March.

Lyles' gem rewarded as Rockies' big boppers stay hot
DENVER -- Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki sees many of his own traits in third baseman Nolan Arenado. They're reflecting on one another quite well.
Arenado homered to run his hit streak to 25 games - second-longest in club history -- and Tulowitzki celebrated winning National League Player of the Week and Month awards with two home runs Monday night in an 8-2 victory over the Rangers at Coors Field in front of 26,242.View Full Game Coverage
DENVER -- Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki sees many of his own traits in third baseman Nolan Arenado. They're reflecting on one another quite well.
Arenado homered to run his hit streak to 25 games - second-longest in club history -- and Tulowitzki celebrated winning National League Player of the Week and Month awards with two home runs Monday night in an 8-2 victory over the Rangers at Coors Field in front of 26,242.View Full Game Coverage
A couple of major reasons for a strong start by the Rockies (20-14, 12-5 at home) are the offensive and defensive production of the left side of the infield. But the reasons behind the play were evident in the clubhouse after the victory in the first of a two-and-two, home-and-home with the Rangers.
Tulowitzki, 29, was using the foam rollers to work the stress over his often-troublesome leg muscles. Arenado, 23, was busy pushing himself in the fitness room, and the few interviews he did were during a quick break for hydration.
"That's been my job, to try to help him understand how long the season is," said Tulowitzki, who improved to nine homers and raised his Majors-leading batting average to .408. "He's done a good job so far.
"For him being a young player, getting off to a good start is very important for him, because he can be so emotional, such as myself when I was a young player. I respect that about him but I'm also trying to make him learn quicker than I did."
The Tulowitzki-influenced physical routines also keep Arenado, whose streak is two games shy of the club-record 27-game run by Michael Cuddyer last year, from spending too much time basking in his accomplishments.
But nothing can keep Arenado from marveling at Tulowitzki, who lockers next to him.
"He's been playing unbelievable defense -- he's the best shortstop I've ever seen," Arenado said. "And the way he's been hitting is something I've never really seen before up close. But he puts a lot of hard work into it. It's not that surprising that he's been doing what he's been doing."
After consecutive last-place finishes in the National League West, the Rockies are exuding the aura that they're not surprised by their strong start. While the left side of the infield is hitting the ball hard and providing solid defense, some of the other reasons the Rockies have started strong were on display Monday.
Right-hander Jordan Lyles (4-0) limited the Rangers to two runs on seven hits, struck out five and forced three double-play grounders. He also singled and scored in the eighth. It was the third-longest start of his career. He went 8 1/3 innings once and had a complete game while pitching for the Astros, the team that traded him to the Rockies during the winter.
Also, Carlos Gonzalez doubled twice and, although he's been battling a slump that has left his batting average at .252, has hits in seven straight games and eight of his last nine. Brandon Barnes, who came in the same trade as Lyles, and Drew Stubbs each doubled twice as the Rockies rested left-handed hitters Charlie Blackmon and Corey Dickerson against Rangers starter Martin Perez (4-2).
"Hopefully, these guys are realizing that we have a good team," Tulowitzki said. "We talked about that so much in Spring Training, but at times until you get results it's hard to buy into that. But I think now guys are starting to get that confidence up."
Gonzalez opened the second inning with a double into the left-field corner and Arenado clubbed Perez's 2-2 pitch -- which would've been a ball inside -- into the left-field bleachers for a 2-0 lead.
"It was stupid," Rangers catcher Robinson Chirinos said. "He hit that ball that far inside and hit it outside the park. You can't do anything, just laugh, you know. It was a good pitch."
It began a second straight rough outing for Perez, who won four of his first five starts -- having pitched scoreless ball in the last three of those. But last week, against the Athletics, he gave up eight runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings. The Rockies bested him for seven hits and five runs in five innings Monday night.
Both Tulowitzki homers, off Perez in the fifth and Shawn Tolleson in the seventh, went the opposite way to right, and were preceded by Stubbs' doubles.
"You try to ride the wave," Tulowitzki said. "I come here to work and not get too confident that this comes easy, because it doesn't."
It's not a bad run for Lyles, 23, either.
He became the second Rockies pitcher to go at least 4-0 in the club's first 34 games. The other was Mike Hampton, who was 5-0 in 2001. Before Monday, Lyles was 0-5 with a 9.82 ERA in six starts against the Rangers. The Rangers saw a pitcher who has reached maturity Monday.
"I was just making better pitches, I guess, getting guys to hit it on the ground," Lyles said. "I'm with a different team and so many different scenarios of why I hadn't had success against them."
Manager Walt Weiss almost let Lyles go the distance. But after Adrian Beltre opened the ninth with a single, Weiss went to righty reliever Nick Masset, who joined the team Monday and made his first appearance in the Majors since Sept. 27, 2011 for the Reds against the Mets -- before shoulder surgery.
Weiss was happy to receive Lyles, along with Barnes, from the Astros for outfielder Dexter Fowler.
"An opportunity to get an arm like this at this age, who was a horse -- there were a lot of reasons to like this kid," Weiss said.

It seems Jon Gosselin is tired of all the negative attention he's been receiving recently. He now claims to want out of Jon & Kate Plus 8, the same show that made him famous.
"I wish I had a 9 to 5 job instead of the nightmare I'm living. This is 24/7," he told Usmagazine outside his $1.1 million Pennsylvania home Monday. "I don't even want to do taping for the show anymore."
Jon goes on to say he's stuck filming and doing promotional appearances to make as much money as possible. According to a source, Jon is also suspicious of Kate hiding money ahead of their divorce proceedings. The couple makes an estimated $75,000 per episode.
"I have two houses and eight children to take care of and I need to work," Jon told US.
Jon went on to tape Jon & Kate Plus 8 with the kids later on that day. The family threw a fundraising lemonade stand.
Interestingly, most of the negative attention was brought on by none other than Jon himself. His sudden desire to want to quit Jon & Kate Plus 8 might also have to do with the rumors of a new reality show. He allegedly has plans to appear on a reality show titled "Divorced Dad's Club"

Looking for another Southeast Texas MASTERCRAFT Family
We are here in Southeast Texas and we are looking for another MASTERCRAFT family to hangout with. We mostly trailer up to Lake Sam Rayburn as we are only an hour and a half away from the southend of the lake. We have two kids, girl and a boy whose ages are 13 and 10. The boy has started on the wakeboard, but the girl is too attached to the tube. The wife also has ridden the wakeboard .
I guess the main reason for writing this is to find a family who has a competent operator who can drive the X-25 while I surf and board, another is to find a family whose kids like to do something more than tube so maybe my kids will get away from the tube. There are plenty of sandbars to hangout on and the family members who are interested, can surf, wakeboard etc. and the others can watch from the beach.
It might be a good opportunity for a family who is not familiar with Rayburn to learn the lake as well as have someone who is competent to operate the boat at all times. Dad, that means you and I can enjoy some wake surfing, because I don't know about you, but right now I do all the driving in my family .
Anyone interested please PM me.

Anyway, I've never done any digital based work, up until now it's all been more traditional stuff - oil/acrylic painting, drawing, and so on. Without trying to blow my own trumpet (*fnar*) I think I've got enough basic knowledge to be able to give this digital drawing lark a go. The only thing that lets me down is my knowledge of the equipment and software involved. There seems to be two levels of drawing tablet about atm, the home user version and the professional line. Me being a lowly student and all, the funds are always a problem So would I still be able to do detailed work of a decent size on the 4"x5" tablet, or does the size of active drawing area regulate the size of work? Having never even seen one b4, I don't quite know how the size of tablet relates to what you get up on yer monitor. Also is there much noticeable difference between the work created on the home and professional tablets? i.e. quality of tools and so on?

There are, however, frustrating things in the game that may turn its intended audience away from the game, or have their older siblings or parents do it for them. The major problem is the camera. This game tries desperately to be both a side-scrolling adventure and an arena battle game. As a result, the camera will confuse what is going on. Too often I experienced "jitters" on the screen. The constant jumping up and down of the camera can cause minor motion sickness as Zak traverses from the 2D to 2.5-D elements of the game. At times, these jitters will happen just because you may be going too fast through the levels. It becomes very disorienting when faced with multi-tiered boss battles. The biggest problem with this is that occasionally the camera will stop following Zak and stick to one location. So, for example, if you miss one of the swings and you fall, the camera loses you and then you have to restart the level - the entire level.
This brings me to another complaint; again stemming from the faulty camera. While the initial design of the game looks on par with the show, you can only look at the semi-repeated areas of a level so often. Having to basically do a power reset to the game only further hinders the experience. While the character animation and the backgrounds look good in comparison to the show, I don't know many who can tolerate several repeats of a level just due to the fault of the camera.
The Secret Saturdays: Beasts of the 5th Sun will not revolutionize the cartoon to video game market. However, it does do something that tends to be rare with these games - it delivers on the experience fans have come to expect. Retaining the voice actors, the writers of the show participating in the game, and visuals that are on par with the show all help capture what fans have come to expect. Adding in the progressive puzzle elements and thirty, never before seen Cryptids should please those interested in the show. While it is not a rare gem of greatness, it does deliver on an experience fans of the show will love.

My baby has been using a nipple shield since he was born. I think we would have been fine without it but I didn't know better when the nurse gave it to me. She said I had inverted nipples but I don't anymore. My baby is now 6 weeks old and I can't get him to nurse without it! I went to a lc and she gave me some tips and said he is gaining weight and is getting enough milk but I still want him to nurse without it. Its frustrating because he always knocks it off my breast and makes it impossible to nurse in public. It also takes longer for him to nurse than if he didn't use the shield. I try taking the shield off at least once every feeding but he wont even latch on. I also take baths with him and do a lot of skin to skin but nothing is working! I don't want to be nursing him at 6 months still with the shield!!
is anyone else going through this? Any advice?

Discussion in 'Hashcode D3' started by lb2004, May 1, 2012.
Can anyone tell me where I can download 7.1 or 7.2. I can't find it anywhere.
There is a link at the bottom of that page with the most current build of cm7 and another for the GApps it needs. Though keep an eye on the xda forums, I think droidian1441 may be working on a new build.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
Thanks apparently I looked everywhere but there.
It this Hashcode CM7.2 rom still up somewhere? The above link is no good now.
Its getting hard to find but thankfully Hashcode is getting back into it and we should start seeing development again in the near future. In the meantime, check the D3 developer section on XDA - one of the users has just posted a rebuild of Hash's files and lists multiple download mirrors.
Thanks much Phibernaut! What about the camera and video for this? The regular camera app when launched shows a completely black screen and camera apps from google play display the camera view in 1/3rd of the screen.... and sometimes static. Also they don't actually save anything. I've seen fixes in the wild for the DX using libbridge.so and libLCML.so. Does there exist a similar fix for us D3 users?
Edit: Turns out I was using an older build. Camera works now with a camera app. Is it true that there's no working video?
Does anyone know a totally stable ROM for Droid 3? ive tried all of steeldroid ICS roms (4.8, 5.5, 5.6, etc..) and they ALL suck so bad even though people are saying "YAY!"
Im going back to Gingerbread based stuff. Im tired of the glitches and missing things and flaws all throughout the Steeldroid versions for the D3. Sticking with CM7 as ive heard Gingerbread ROMs are the best for D3.
Id love it if someone could point me to a CM7 rom that works well on Droid 3??
If not, is there any ROMS that are just the OTA Verizon ROMs with bloatware and motoblur removed from the ROM?
Missonman - I've been running Steeldroid 4.8 for the past week and had no problems with it
I would love to have a "stock" Gingerbread ROM that is basically the OTA Verizon minus bloatware and motoblur... Please post if you find one!
Davros posted a stock deodexed ROM here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/teamhaters/210941-deodexed-xt862-906-safe-mode.html
It is bloated, so search for psouza's debloat script
How do they all suck? 4.8 runs smooth. And we know ICS's limitations.
4.8 IS Gingerbread
not sure who told you that. there isn't one. Hashcode moved from GB to ICS and he was the only one porting CM7
Thanks dude, I'll be sure to check that out!
looks like there is no GB 2.3.7 for D3 ..

For his many years of public service,Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.has rightfully earned the respect of Maryanders. But as a columnist whose byline now includes the tag "Maryland chairman for the Romney presidential campaign," he's put in jeopardy any semblance of journalistic independence he may have had.
For example, in his litany of purported differences between Obama-led liberals and tea party- inspired conservatives, Mr. Ehrlich now attributes the birth of Transportation Security Administration to leftists, even though a simple check of the facts would indicate otherwise ("The left and right view the world in predictable ways," Aug. 5),
The key sponsor to the TSA's birth was a Republican congressman, Donald Young. And without any veto or political haggling, its birth was quickly authorized by a Republican president,George W. Bush.
The TSA has become an increasing annoyance in our daily lives, in part due to its expense and its encroachment on our privacy. But while one may agree with Mr. Ehrlich's concerns about the agency's intrusive nature, that does not allow him to re-imagine TSA's history.
As a former governor and political commentator, Mr. Ehrlich must have known that the TSA owes its origins to two well respected Republican conservatives. As campaign chairman for a presidential candidate, however, Mr. Ehrlich's disgust with President Obama is so intense that he no longer can be bothered with the facts.

After the coffee. Before saying goodbye to June gloom.
The Skinny: I was bummed to hear Bobby Womack died. I saw him open for the Rolling Stones back in 1981 and regret not taking the time to listen to more of his music. I did pick up his soundtrack for "Across 110th Street," a great 1970s blaxploitation flick starring Yaphet Kotto and Anthony Quinn. Today's headlines include the weekend box office recap and a deep dive into Comcast as it looks to acquire Time Warner Cable.
Daily Dose: Aereo told its subscribers Saturday that it is suspending its subscription antenna service in the wake of last week's Supreme Court ruling that found the start-up service to be in violation of the Copyright Act. However, Aereo said it isn't shutting down yet. Given that Aereo has said it won't pay broadcasters to transmit their signals, it is unclear what other options the company has.
So much for extinction. "Transformers: Age of Extinction," the latest chapter in the "Transformers" franchise, hit the $100-million mark in its opening weekend in North America. The movie took in an additional $201 million in China, Russia and Australia. It will open in Europe and Latin America when the World Cup concludes. Coming in a distant second was "22 Jump Street" followed by "How to Train Your Dragon 2" and "Think Like a Man Too." Box office recaps from the Los Angeles Times and Hollywood Reporter.
Right-hand man. Meet Ian Bryce, the man who often makes action director Michael Bay's visions a reality. Bryce, who first met Bay when both were just starting out at Lucasfilms (Bryce parked cars, Bay was an intern), has become Hollywood's go-to producer to shepherd big budget event films from inception to the big screen. "When you put him on a movie, it's like having someone tuck you in bed at night," said Paramount Film Group Chief Adam Goodman. The Wall Street Journal on Bryce.
The octopus. Already the nation's biggest cable operator and one of the largest content suppliers, Comcast is now trying to acquire Time Warner Cable leading some to compare the company to an "a nationwide octopus with massive tentacles." Comcast CEO Brian Roberts doesn't see it quite that way. He just wants to offer everyone everything. "It seemed to me the perfect company for the 21st century would be one that was technology-orientated with great content and national scale," he tells the Los Angeles Times.
Broadening the audience. Jarl Mohn, who takes over as chief executive of NPR this week, is the fifth CEO the public radio service has had in eight years. With that much turmoil behind the scenes, it's not too surprising that there hasn't been much change on-the-air. Mohn hopes to broaden NPR's reach and make it more diverse. Such a push will have to start in the newsroom, which is almost 80% white and recently canceled the one show specifically targeting black listeners. The New York Times on the new leadership at NPR.
Indictment. Charles Lewis, founder of the Center for Public Integrity and a journalism professor at American University, was once a top producer at ABC News and CBS' "60 Minutes." But Lewis quickly grew frustrated at the lack of commitment to hard-hitting investigative pieces at the networks and the internal politics one had to play to get pieces on the air. He dishes some old dirt in Politico.

Palm Beach Post
Florida Insurance Consumer Advocate Robin Westcott today called for the state's top regulator to support her in asking legislators to make clear property insurers cannot deny claims and void policies based on consumer credit information more than 90 days after taking a policy.
"This practice is reprehensible and should cease immediately," Westcott said.
As The Palm Beach Post reported last month, a growing number of customers of the state's largest private property insurer, Universal Property & Casualty Insurance Co. of Fort Lauderdale, say the company took premiums for years but voided policies when they filed claims. That has meant customers were left with no coverage for things like fire or water damage that marred or destroyed homes, on the grounds they had failed to disclose in their applications items such as a tax lien satisfied in another state years before.
Westcott asked Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty to endorse the initiative. A spokeswoman for McCarty had no immediate response late Wednesday.
McCarty's office has said little publicly about concerns Westcott raised in October, when she called for a formal investigation by the state's Office of Insurance Regulation.
A Universal spokesman last month defended the company's practices and said it was up to customers to provide correct information on applications. Universal's parent company reported profits rose 50 percent to $30 million last year.
Westcott said using information from credit reports or public records can be legal and appropriate when deciding to take customers, but the consequences can be unjust and "heart-wrenching" if such data is used as a pretext to deny claims sometimes years later. Agents often fill out application for customers, other critics of the practice have noted, and they or customers themselves may not know or remember all the items from years past, sometimes involving family members or spouses, that could be used to void the policy.
"Florida consumers deserve protection from this unfair practice," Westcott said.
In a letter to McCarty, Wescott said she believes the practice violates current law but seeks a change in the law — such as by amendment to pending legislation not identified in the letter — to make "crystal clear" such information should not be used to deny claims.
The letter can can be read here.

6 Good Reasons To Eat Greens Every Day
Are you interested in being healthier? How about slimmer, smarter, or more beautiful? Well, eat your greens and you'll be on your way to all of those.
Greens are amazing and here's why:
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!
1. Weight Control. Leafy greens are extremely low in calories, yet super high in nutrients. Make them the base of your lunch and dinner and weight control can be breeze.
When I had a weight problem years ago and joined weight watchers, I learned that there are some kinds of vegetables that you can eat pounds of and still lose weight. As an over-eater, this was great news to me! While on weight watchers I'd cook two-pound bags of vegetables in a large pot and eat the whole thing. Greens are among the vegetables you can eat in unlimited quantities and still lose weight. Three cups of most kinds of greens contain less than 100 calories. I lost 20 pounds in a few months.
Of course, you can't add high calorie ingredients like butter and creamy dressings, but you can season with herbs and spices, lemon, and low calories salad dressings.
If you're trying to lose weight, but unable to master portion control, do consider satiating your need to chew and swallow with hefty helpings of greens as part of your meals.
Try them like this:
RAW: Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or lemon and a little (no more than one tablespoon) olive oil to flavor them. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and crushed pepper
COOKED: Boil the greens in fat free reduced sodium chicken broth or water and add some chopped garlic and lemon juice. Cook until the leaves are tender.
Serve with broiled, or baked chicken, or fish and a baked sweet potato, or some brown rice.
2. Youthful Skin. Leafy greens like Kale, Spinach and Swiss Chard contain antioxidants including beta carotene, which helps renew and repair your skin.
I was traveling recently and did an experiment. Usually when I take the red-eye from LA to New York and get no sleep, when I arrive, my skin looks sallow and scary. On my last trip, before leaving, I ate a pound of greens that I'd prepared with chopped garlic and a bit of olive oil.
The next morning, instead of looking like the zombie I usually do after an overnight flight, my skin had an amazing healthy glow.
Greens also contain folate, a vital nutrient for DNA repair and lutein, which balances the lipids in the skin, increasing hydration and elasticity. Lutein also protects against sun damage that ages the skin.
3. Clear Skin. While researching a book I wrote about preventing acne, I discovered that leafy greens have clear skin benefits.
The long held belief that diet has no bearing on acne has been debunked. Studies have shown that high glycemic foods do trigger breakouts in some people. High glycemic foods are those that contain refined grains and refined sugars that cause a spike in blood glucose level, which your body tries to lower by producing more insulin and male hormones. These hormones cause the sebaceous glands to produce more oil, in turn, blocking pores. Too much sebum in the pores causes the acne bacterium (propionibacterium acnes) to over propagate, inflaming the pore causing a pimple.
Switching to a low-glycemic diet, which includes leafy greens, has proven to be effective. (Other low-glycemic foods that benefit acne include whole grains, fish, and green tea).
Leafy greens are chock full of inflammation fighting ingredients and they also contain lots of fiber, which helps keep blood sugar levels in check.
4. Beauty. Yes, leafy greens (and other high color vegetables) can actually make you prettier. Sounds absurd, doesn't it? Well, a recent article in the LA Times by Karen Ravn referenced a study done at The University of St. Andrews in Scotland, that sought to find out how many fruits and vegetables a person would have to eat, and for how long before this could be detected in the skin.
According to the article, scientists have long known that the pigments that give vegetables their color, "carotenoids," accumulate in the skin and give it color, too. Apparently, they enhance our natural coloring and when we see someone whose skin reflects these enhanced carotenoids, they appear healthier and more attractive to our eye.
In the study, they showed undergraduate students sets of pictures; for each set of faces one reflected the look of having ingested about 3.3 servings of high color fruits and vegetables, and one did not. The students deemed the fruit/veggie eaters to be more attractive than the non-high color food eaters. More servings were associated with more attractiveness.
So, eat lots of leafy greens (as well as other high color vegetable and fruits) and you may find yourself getting more compliments than you used to.

NiZn PowerGenix Batteries
May 13th
I've been meaning to write about a set of interesting new rechargeable AA batteries I came across for a while now. Last year (wow, has it really been that long?) I came across a review on engadget of some PowerGenix NiZn (Nickel Zinc) rechargeable batteries which promised better performance, higher voltage than NiMH, and greater capacity. I was compelled to invest in some otherwise experimental and new rechargeables for a few reasons:
Doing indoor photography with my girlfriend – especially weddings – it becomes apparent just how many AAs you can go through quickly. So many that it's relatively expensive and prohibitive to keep up and carry all those batteries around. They're expensive, and just don't last long enough. One or two hundred shots or so, if I recall correctly.
Anyhow, right after getting them and charging them, I decided to shoot a wedding with my SB600 flash and the NiZn batteries. I was immediately floored at how fast the flash recharged and how performance never seemed to fade like alkalines do. Usually, flash performance seems to fall off exponentially with the generic alkaline batteries – eventually the time it takes to recharge gets so long you can't take photos of anything. So what's useful about the NiZn was the hugely fast, super quick recharge time.
That's also… the problem. While shooting that wedding, I managed to somehow completely blow out the flash. This thing was under 2 months old, used at a few other weddings, without what I'd consider very many activations at all. The SB600 apparently has no thermal cutoff at all, allowing the whole thing to overheat. Whatever the case, while shotgunning some photos of the dance floor in low light, it stopped working. The flash didn't feel notably hot, but the flash showed an error on the screen and wouldn't work from then on. Anyhow, I shipped the flash back into Nikon and had a replacement about a month later, but the point is that I'm now far too scared to repeat the "experiment" again.
It seems that two things are possible:
- The SB600 lacks adequate/any thermal protection preventing the flash from overheating or being fired too quickly
- The SB600 possibly relies on alkaline AA battery performance to prevent the flash from being overheated
- I realize that the NiZn PowerGenix batteries are 1.6 volts (as opposed to the 1.5 standard for alkaline, and 1.2 for NiMH). At the same time, there should definitely be regulation of some kind preventing failure.
The batteries themselves are remarkable in their performance, but it's that which scares me out of using them in the flash where they're needed most.
What brings this all up is that engadget compared the PowerGenix batteries to some of the other new (and exotic) choices from Energizer and Sanyo Eneloop, and I left a comment.
I purchased the NiZn batteries after your initial review and was super stoked when they came. I'm an avid digital photographer, and replacing flash batteries at a wedding actually gets expensive enough to make buying a bunch of rechargables worthwhile.
That said, I had a brand new SB600 (just like yours) burn out with no warning while shooting with the NiZn batteries. I had to ship the whole thing in and get it replaced. I browsed the Fred Miranda forums some time later and found a bunch of people with the same issue – the SB600 relies on Alkaline batteries simply not being able to drive enough power quick enough when shotgunning that flash to avoid burning out. There isn't any thermal safeguard.
So be warned, even though you're testing on an SB600, if you actually do go out and abuse the batteries like you would at a big event firing the flash a lot, you WILL nuke your stuff. I'm too scared to use my NiZn batteries now.
That Fred Miranda forum thread I mentioned is here.

By recognizing the deep connection between the ocean's bounty and the prosperity of local communities, CI made waves with an innovative approach to ocean protection and management — one that helped to transform lives and livelihoods in an entire region dependent upon the riches of the sea.
The old parable says that if you teach a man to fish, you will feed him for a lifetime. But what if there were no fish to be caught?
In the Abrolhos region of Brazil's Bahia state, CI and its network of partners are working to make sure that never happens.
The coastal waters there contain the most diverse concentration of marine life in the south Atlantic. The vibrant corals and extensive mangroves shelter hundreds of species, many of which live their entire lives within a few kilometers of the shore, providing residents of the region with their primary source of protein. But in recent decades, illegal fishing and destructive industrial and aquaculture practices increasingly threatened that abundance — and the livelihoods of the local communities who suffered the consequences.
Now, the tide is turning. By supporting the creation of the Corumbau Marine Extractive Reserve, CI helped to demonstrate how truly understanding and valuing the natural capital that sustains communities can pay far-reaching dividends. Through the establishment of both protected no-take zones and areas that allow fishing, the fish populations not only recovered — they thrived. And, as the fish from the no-take zones spilled over into the fishable waters, local fishermen saw an increase in their catch — nearly tripling their take of some commercially-important species alone.
This bounty not only directly improved the livelihoods of local communities, it revitalized the regional economy as well, bringing with it the expansion of services like electricity and secondary education — services to which many in the region had never before had access. These positive changes also led to new, more sustainable opportunities in tourism, now the primary source of income in the region.
When CI began its program in Brazil, Abrolhos Marine National Park was the only marine protected area in the region. Since then, CI has helped to nearly quadruple the area protected and co-managed with local communities. And through ongoing scientific research into the connections between ecosystems, CI continues to inform marine protection practices that safeguard both biodiversity and human well-being.

The LR4 (or the Discovery 4, as it's called in Europe) is the fourth generation of the Discovery, first sold in the U.S. in 1994. The brand first entered the U.S. market in 1987. The LR4 combines unparalleled off-road capability with luxury and utility.
Starting at $49,750, the LR4 is an award-winning luxury SUV that is available in three versions: base, HSE and HSE LUX.
The LR4 might be more expensive than some of its competitors, but with unparalleled off-road capability, seating for seven and a 7,700-pound towing capacity, the LR4 leaves most other luxury SUVs in the dust.
Comfort & Utility
In the LR4, leather seats, dual-zone climate control and a power tilt-and-slide moonroof are standard, setting the tone for the vehicle's architectural theme. With available natural finish wood trim, white LED mood lighting and a premium audio upgrade, the LR4 is both classic and luxurious.
With fold-flat third-row seating creating 90.3 cubic feet of interior cargo space, the LR4 can be quickly transformed from a versatile cargo mover to a people hauler at a moment's notice. Head and leg room abound in the LR4, making excellent use of the vehicle's tall roofline.
Unlike many other automakers, Land Rover doesn't have huge numbers of options that can be packed on at a significant markup. Instead, Land Rover has made most features standard, among them Bluetooth connectivity, a rear-view camera and Land Rover's award-winning four-wheel-drive and traction control systems, Hill Start Assist and Gradient Release Control.
Land Rover's Terrain Response system optimizes the vehicle for virtually all on- or off-road driving situations, with five driver-selectable settings to suit different conditions: General Driving; Grass/Gravel/Snow, Sand; Mud and Ruts and Rock Crawl.
Land Rover's Hill Start Assist system works by preventing the vehicle from rolling backward when moving from a standstill on an incline. It momentarily holding brake pressure when the driver's foot moves from the brake pedal to the accelerator. Gradient Release Control provides extra safety on severe inclines when the driver does not have Hill Descent Control engaged, essentially acting as a fail-safe hill descent system.
Performance & Fuel Economy
The LR4 has only one engine and transmission pairing available in the U.S. market: a Jaguar-sourced, normally aspirated all-aluminum 5.0-liter V8 producing 375 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. It's mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with normal, sport and manual shift modes.
Although the LR4 weighs a stout 5,833 pounds, it will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. The LR4 puts out impressive power, but it also insatiably consumes premium fuel, with fuel economy figures of 12 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway. Filling up its 22.8-gallon gas tank is not a task that will appeal to frugal consumers.
The LR4, in addition to luxury and utility features, is loaded with safety components. There are integral head restraints for all three rows of seats. The LR4's safety equipment is anchored by six standard airbags that work in conjunction with its front passenger's seat occupant detection system. They are driver and dual-threshold front-passenger, side thorax (for front seating positions), and head protection side curtain airbags for the front and second-row outboard seating positions. When ordered with the seven-seat comfort package, the LR4 includes two additional side curtain airbags for a total of eight.
The LR4 also features a collapsible steering column and an inertia switch that unlocks the doors, turns off the fuel pump and turns on interior and hazard lights in case of accident.
Driving Impressions
The LR4 has been called the greatest 4x4 of all time by no less a person than Richard Hammond of U.K. TV program Top Gear. Climb behind the steering wheel, and you will quickly see why. Other SUVs may seem to have compromised something here or there, leaving a lack of congruity. The LR4 very much feels complete, well sorted, and uncompromising.
The LR4 is one of the few U.S.-market SUVs still built with body-on-frame construction. This construction style adds weight but also proves highly capable off-road. Add to that the LR4's electronic controls for differential, braking and air suspension systems, and you'll understand why few vehicles can compete with the LR4 on or off the road.
On pavement, the LR4 is smooth, taut, composed and in control. With all the torque created by the 5.0-liter V8, not much throttle is needed to get the LR4 going. Unlike other SUVs, the LR4 feels very sturdy in sharp corners. It has a high-riding, tall body but carries most of its weight down low. It's this low center of gravity, coupled with its complex suspension system, that allows the LR4 to stay level during cornering.
Other Cars to Consider
Infiniti QX56 AWD - Starting at $62,300 for the all-wheel-drive version, the QX56 is nearly $14,000 more expensive than the base LR4 with about the same amenities. But it's not easy to find a big, seven-seater luxury SUV with a strong all-wheel-drive system for less.
Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x4 - There has been a lot of discussion of Grand Cherokee versus LR4. Yes, you can get a Grand Cherokee for a lot less money than an LR4; the Jeep starts at $42,995. But LR4 buyers get two extra seats, more horsepower, more interior space and 2,200 extra pounds of towing capacity.
Mercedes-Benz GL450 4MATIC - Priced at $62,570 for an all-wheel-drive model, the GL450 is big, fast, and luxurious. It wouldn't dare take on the same rough terrain that the LR4 was born to tackle, but how many soccer moms really need to be able to ford 46 inches of water?
AutoTrader Recommends
The LR4 starts at $49,750 and already has a slew of standard equipment; there is little more to desire. We do recommend customers upgrade to the seven-seat comfort package. Not only does this package add two more seats-and seats that delightfully fold flat when not in use-but it also adds two more airbags to the mix. It's a $1,250 upgrade that is worth every penny.

It's been seven years since the acclaimed, ratings-challenged show got the ax from the CW, but the film feels so fresh and new, it's like it never went away.
Will the big-screen "Veronica Mars" leave its devoted Marshmallows hungry for s'more? It's a pretty good bet considering how delicious a confection series creator Rob Thomas cooks up for the 91,000 fans who anted up $5.7 million of their own money to make it happen.
It's been seven years since the acclaimed, ratings-challenged show got the ax from the CW, but the film feels so fresh and new, it's like it never went away. The only thing that's changed is that the actors – which for the most part played teenagers during the series' 3-year run on TV – are now more mature and road weary twenty-somethings. Which works to everyone's benefit, as the film vividly taps that pivotal moment in everyone's life – their 10-year high school reunion. It's a time for the nerds, like Veronica, to have their day, as they indubitably are smarter and richer than their former aggressors – the jocks and cheerleaders. So it is with Neptune High's class of 2004, and that of course includes Veronica (the sensational Kristen Bell) and her two partners in fighting crime, Mac (Tina Majorino) and Wallace (Percy Daggs III).
All three are doing extremely well, especially Veronica, who's fresh out of law school and shacking up with her too-good-to-be-true boyfriend, Piz (Chris Lowell), in the Big Apple. She even has a job offer from a prestigious Manhattan law firm. But all is tossed into limbo once she gets word that former flame Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) has been charged with electrocuting his pop-star girlfriend back home in fictional Neptune, home to So. Cal's rich and famous.
Veronica, who's addicted to mysteries like a junkie on heroin, can't resist devoting all her well-honed private eye skills to clear Logan's name, even if it means sacrificing everything she's worked for socially and professionally. And what timing! It turns out her return home coincides with the reunion at Neptune High, where Veronica burned so many bridges via her teen sleuthing that she became – and remains – the pariah of the class of 2004. And she hasn't even gotten started yet. Just wait until her ensuing investigation starts to implicate former classmates like Gia (Krysten Ritter), Dick (Ryan Hansen) and Weevil (Francis Capra).
The procedural is at the film's fore, and, frankly, not all that interesting. But like the TV show, the rewards lurk outside the center, mainly in Veronica discovering her true identity, and more importantly her true love: Piz, the solid, trustworthy good guy; or Logan, the trouble-making bad boy with the wandering eye. Both are formidable, but it's always clear no man will ever measure up to her doting dad (a terrific Enrico Colantoni, stealing every scene he's in), who adores his mischievous daughter even though her adolescent antics cost him his job and the town's respect a decade ago.
The Marshmallows, as Veronica's fans refer to themselves, will no doubt savor all 108 minutes of it. As they should since the record amount of cash they contributed on Kickstarter last year provided the seed money to get the long-gestating film made. But the true test is how the movie will play for people who've never heard of Veronica Mars, or never watched the show during its run from 2004 to 2007. That group would include me, and I can attest that Thomas and his co-writer, Diane Ruggiero, have conjured a movie that stands on its own and is accessible to everyone, no matter if you're a Marshmallow or not. And to add to the fun, Thomas unleashes a host of cameos, ranging from Bell's husband, Dax Shepard, to the ubiquitous James Franco. They're frivolous and add nothing to the story, but they represent the movie's eagerness to please. And pleasing, it most definitely is.

ADDISON COUNTY — The Nov. 6 ballot will feature three contested Vermont House races, a three-way runoff for the county's two seats in the state Senate and a bevy of statewide and federal races that is, of course, headlined by the showdown for the presidency of the United States.
As Gov. Peter Shumlin launched his campaign last week for a second term, he focused on two themes: the state's relative economic prosperity and that he is a governor who gets "the tough things done."
Those 'tough things' have boiled down to balancing the state's budget without raising broad-based taxes, even while coping with four major storms in 2011, and initiating health care reform by passing the nation's first universal access health care system based on a single-payer model.
On opinion and front pages of papers across the country, reporters and columnists alike declared that the slow rate of jobs being added to the economy continues to be a dagger in the heart of President Barack Obama's campaign for reelection. True enough. After all the hoopla and feel-good campaigning at last week's National Democratic Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
Editor's note: Mitt Romney accepted the Republican Party's nomination for the 2012 presidential election on August 30 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Tampa, Fla. Prepared remarks via www.mittromney.com.
Editor's note: President Obama accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for the 2012 presidential election last night at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C. Transcript via www.whitehouse.gov.
MRS. OBAMA: I am so thrilled and so honored and so proud to introduce the love of my life, the father of our two girls, and the President of the United States of America -- Barack Obama. (Applause.)

Some years ago, while chatting with a friend who had come to Catholicism largely through her encounter with the Rosary, I ruefully admitted that my own cradle-Catholic appreciation of the devotion was wishy-washy.
It took so long, I whined to her. She disagreed, but admitted that perhaps the prayer went faster for her because she routinely omitted the Apostles' Creed from her start.
"You just jump right into the thing, do you?" I asked. "Well, I kiss the crucifix and then say, 'Yeah, you know, I believe all that' and then start."
When I thought about it later, I realized that I had a habit of rushing through the Creed so quickly and unmindfully that I too was essentially omitting it from the Rosary. My friend was at least acknowledging that she believed all that was contained within the Creed, even if she did not speak it. I was speaking it on autopilot, and rendering it an utterly empty exercise.
Words without thought are dangerous, flighty things to begin with, but what sort of madness is it to repeatedly say, "I believe … I believe … I believe," while paying no attention to what follows? In a world full of things "seen and unseen" what sort of havoc might such mindlessness provoke amid the forces of dark and light who are doing battle all about us? I imagined the angels saying in my defense, "She's saying the words; even an imperfect declaration is a declaration."
"A declaration without root," the devils cackled back. "She'll crumble when challenged." It was true, and I knew it. Flannery O' Connor's fictitious "Child" may have "thought she could be a martyr if they killed her fast enough," but my inability to be present to a solid statement of faith for the space of approximately 30 seconds did not speak well for my own chances, did it? Martyrdom creates saints, but the conviction that supports heroic witness must be founded upon something.
Grateful for what I saw as an angelic prompting, I made a conscious decision to encounter the Apostles' Creed anew. I began to pray it mindfully, every day, even if I was not beginning a Rosary. For the first time in my life, I was really thinking about what I was saying, and actually consenting wholeheartedly to every bit of it: Yes, I believe in God the Father; yes, I believe in Jesus Christ His Son. Yes, I believe He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Yes, I believe. I believe this.
A remarkable thing happened. I could feel my connection to Christ Jesus and His church strengthening. With my every assent I realized I was connecting with, and conforming to, God's giant and ongoing "YES," which formed and sustains all of creation. I went from speeding through this preface and prayer to lingering on it, meditating upon its mysteries, finding consolation within its every idea and, eventually, discovering an utterly new confidence in my faith. The Apostles' Creed became my go-to prayer in times of stress, whether that meant the dentist's chair or an emergency room — the foundational support to all of life's "little martyrdoms" that condition us for what is ahead: I believe in the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. In those words are weapons to sustain us through any desolation and fear. Loving the Apostles' Creed meant going further; it meant becoming present to that other Creed that taxed my patience, the Nicene Creed we declare each Sunday. It meant foregoing the absent-minded mouthing along in order to swim within its unknowable depths — born of the Father before all ages — and then own them as best I could.
In Rumer Godden's novel "In This House of Brede" a Benedictine nun contemplates the first confusing fallout from the Second Vatican Council and says, "The Church has got blood poisoning; I think because it has lost the disinfectant of the Creed." Our times are no less troubling. The good disinfectant of our Creeds can help to build our spiritual immune systems, rendering them strong enough to endure martyrdoms large and small.

Probst: We'd all love to kill #meaningfuluse & talk 10 year interop. But it's still hanging over our heads. #NHITWeek pic.twitter.com/Bofw970jUf
— Don Fluckinger (@DonFluckinger) September 16, 2014
Isn't it nice that National Health IT Week brings people together to complain about meaningful use? Ok, that's only partially in jest. Marc Probst, CIO of Intermountain and a member of the original meaningful use/EHR Certification committee (I lost track of the formal name), is making a strong statement as quoted by Don Fluckinger above.
Marc Probst is right that the majority of healthcare would be really happy to put a knife in meaningful use and move on from it. That's kind of what I proposed when I suggested blowing up meaningful use. Not to mention my comments that meaningful use is on shaky ground. Comments from people like Marc Probst are proof of this fact.
In a related move, CHIME, AMDIS and 15 other healthcare organizations sent a letter to the HHS Secretary calling for immediate action to amend the 2015 meaningful use reporting period. These organizations believed that the final rule on meaningful use flexibility would change the reporting period, but it did not. It seems like they're coming out guns blazing.
In even bigger news (albeit probably related), Congresswoman Renee Ellmers (R-NC) and Congressman Jim Matheson (D-UT) just introduced the Flexibility in Health IT Reporting (Flex-IT) act. This act would "allow providers to report their Health IT upgrades in 2015 through a 90-day reporting period as opposed to a full year." I have yet to see any prediction on whether this act has enough support in Congress to get passed, but we could once again see congress act when CMS chose a different course of action like they did with ICD-10.
This story is definitely evolving and the pressure to change the reporting period to 90 days is on. My own personal prediction is that CMS will have to make the change. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Happy National Health IT Week!

Follow Friday: Elizabeth's Blog Inspires Me, and the reasons why
I haven't begun to intensively share my family history research, but when I do, I want to do it in a similar fashion as Elizabeth from the blog From Maine to Kentucky. I have been following Elizabeth's blog for sometime now. I have no relation to her, but I wish I did. She writes in such away that wishes we were collaborating on the same family lines.
|Header for From Maine to Kentucky
I could just post that and be done with it. For me, that doesn't tell you exactly why I like Elizabeth's blog so much. So, I'm going to list some of my favorite blog posts from her page. Hopefully you'll quickly see why she inspires me so much.
Matrilineal Monday ~ Sarah Lowell
In this post, Elizabeth discusses what she knows about great great grandmother Sarah Lowell. I like how she gives you the details, and why it is correct. I also like when she inserts what she doesn't know or hasn't found. For example, in the first paragraph she says:
It's simple, yet very effective. She tells you who Sarah's mother is, what research is missing, and how to find Sarah's mother, all in one sentence. That's amazing."I have not been able to find her widowed mother, Sarah (Smith) Lowell in the 1840 Federal Census, though I just found her in the 1850 Federal Census, mis-indexed as Sarah Lowde."
Throughout out this post, she includes other information about Sarah that one would find on a family group sheet with 'documentation citations'. However, the way she takes this information 'off the chart' and makes it easily readable is great. I like how she uses a combination of short and long paragraphs, as well as simple lists. She inserts close-ups of the Census and obituatry files, without including 'too much' information. And her citations are brief and too the point.
She wraps up the post with a quick relationship chart. It's not fancy, but it gets the point across.
As you see the remaining posts I share, you'll see the same elements repeated again and again.
Sunday's Obituary ~ Arville Chapin AdsitIn this post, Elizabeth shares the obituary of Arville Chapin Adsit. She has a large enough photo to read the image but also includes a transcription of the obituary. I like how she placed the source as a lead in to the actual obituary image. I would have placed the information under the photo as a caption. However, this simple element, looks a lot better. It's amazing what a small thing like source placement can do for a reader. To me, the source became important and not visually distracting, and therefore, overlooked.
The other reason why I liked this post, is because it links back to previous posts about Mr. Adsit. I have a tendency to put all the facts and documents together in one post. I see now that by separating the information, she breaks up the flow of information. In essence, she gives more weight to the obituary, rather than loosing it in a sea of factual information. (Perhaps there are ulterior motives to breaking things up. I don't know. But I like things broken up)
For another example of 'breaking up' the information in a simple, but powerful way, visit: An 1873 Wedding Invitation ~ Wedding Wednesday.
Error in 1940 Census ~ No Charles Pyle
I remember the excitement of having the 1940 US Census released. People couldn't wait to find their ancestors. They found the enumeration district and anxiously waited for the images to be online. Perhaps I'm lazy, I didn't want to go through all of that effort. (It could also be that I have five active young children.) So, I waited for the Census to be indexed and found my relatives later. In any case, many people posted about their discoveries and how excited they were. Elizabeth posted about her disappointment.
She discussed item, by item, all the errors she found and why she knew them to be errors. And there were a lot of errors. I loved when she wrote, "I wasn't expecting any major revelations in this census record, but I certainly wasn't expecting as many errors as I found."
I felt her disappointment and perplexity about the whole find. Her post walked me through the experience and I felt like it was my family, my find, and my disappointment. Elizabeth rarely gets grandiose in her writing. She's direct and effective. Yet, the emotions spoke volumes in this post of few words.
Mystery Monday ~ Susan Rood's Parents
True to Elizabeth's overall style, she shares information about the brickwall known as Susan Rood's parents. She briefly layouts why she's having trouble in her research and a new question to evaluate. I could use her post as a guide to share my own brick wall problems.
I think thus far, this is my favorite post for information. Elizabeth keeps her simple, direct presentation of facts in this post. She shares the death certificate and it's transcription. She presents her relation to Mary Ashby where she found the record. It's a different presentation style than the obit of Mr. Adsit, but nonetheless effective.
What I like about this post is that Elizabeth goes beyond the names and dates, that I do far too often. She looked in the city directory to find the listing for attending physician and the undertaker company. I would NEVER have thought about finding this information without this post. Elizabeth is a curious cat and has often answered many of my "Who Is" questions on Tombstone Tuesday. I wasn't surprised to see that she went beyond the traditional... 'find your family's information on the death certificate' to finding more about everyone listed on the death certificate, including the undertaker!
I could seriously link to more posts and share why I so enjoy Elizabeth's blog. She'll probably be shocked to know just how much her blog and writing style has impressed me. She's shown me how to be curious and concise. She's presented simple, yet effective ways to share what we know about our ancestors. She's included the citations in a direct, yet not annoying, manner. As I start writing and sharing more about the documentation and brick walls I have, I hope to follow Elizabeth's example as I do. I know I'll have a tendency to be 'long-winded,' as that is my natural state. However, with From Maine to Kentucky showing me that less can be more, I will find a good balance.
Thank you Elizabeth for all you do for your family history and to inspire me as well.

Roster recaps
STARTER: Joe Flacco. BACKUP: Tyrod Taylor. COMMENT: There were no surpriseshere because Flacco and Taylor werelocks to make the team. It's still undecidedwhether a banged-up Taylor (left shoulder contusion) will remain the primarybackup. There weren't many intriguingnames released Saturday, and Sage Rosenfels might be available if he reaches an injury settlement with the New York Giants.
STARTERS: Ray Rice RB, Vonta LeachFB. BACKUPS: Ricky Williams and Anthony Allen. COMMENT: The only running back remaining from last season is Rice. Leach isthe prototypical fullback, and Williams isthe consummate backup. Allen got thenod over Jalen Parmele after averaging6.8 yards on 11 carries this preseason.
STARTERS: Anquan Boldin, Lee Evans. be surprised if the Ravens add anotherveteran interior lineman before the season opener. Although Mattison did an admirable job, it would be smart for the Ravens to upgrade there considering Birkisn't fully recovered from surgery.
STARTERS: DT Haloti Ngata, NT Terrence Cody, DE Cory Redding. BACKUPS: DE Arthur Jones, NT Brandon McKinney, DE Pernell McPhee andDE Michael McAdoo. COMMENT:There's been an influx ofyouth here with Cody stepping into astarting role, Jones pushing for a startingrole and McAdoo surprisingly making theroster after joining the Ravens one dayafter going unpicked in the supplementaldraft on Aug. 22. The Ravens might betempted to slip McAdoo onto the practicesquad after they add a veteran cut overthe weekend. Ngata, Redding and McKinney were all locks to make the team.
STARTERS: OLB Terrell Suggs, ILB Ray Lewis, ILB Jameel McClain, OLB Jarret Johnson. BACKUPS: OLB Paul Kruger, ILB Dannell Ellerbe, OLB Sergio Kindle, ILBBrendon Ayanbadejo, OLB Albert McClellan, ILB Jason Phillips. COMMENT: The Ravens return the same BACKUPS: David Reed, Torrey Smith,Tandon Doss and LaQuan Williams. COMMENT: Boldin and Evans are the perfect complement of toughness and speed.It'll be interesting to see who steps up asthe No. 3 wideout. Reed is suspended forthe season opener after violating theNFL's substance abuse policy. Smith canstretch the field, but he struggled withcatching the ball this preseason. Doss hasbeen the more polished rookie. Williamshas been the team's most pleasant surprise of the preseason with big catchesand punt returns.
STARTER: Ed Dickson. BACKUPS: Dennis Pitta and Kris Wilson. COMMENT: The Ravens will replaceTodd Heap with a combined effort fromDickson and Pitta. Both are young andathletic. They also both made big playsdown the seam this preseason.
STARTERS: LT Bryant McKinnie, LGBen Grubbs, C Matt Birk, RG Marshal Yanda, RT Michael Oher. BACKUPS: G-T Mark LeVoir, C Bryan Mattison, T Jah Reid. COMMENT: The Ravens chose to keep anextra defensive back (Chykie Brown) anddefensive lineman (Michael McAdoo) bygoing with fewer offensive linemen. Don't starting four from a year ago, but the supporting cast is a bit different. Kruger hasreturned to being a linebacker after tryingto become a defensive end last year. Kindle could provide some pass rush aftermissing all of last season with a head injury. And McClellan, a practice squadmember last year, should make an impacton special teams.
STARTERS: TBD with cornerbacks. FSEd Reed, SS Bernard Pollard. BACKUPS: CB Jimmy Smith, CB Domonique Foxworth, CB Cary Williams, SSTom Zbikowski, FS Haruki Nakamura,CB Chris Carr, CB Lardarius Webb, CBChykie Brown. COMMENT: The only guaranteed starteris Reed, who led the NFL in interceptionslast season. Pollard is expected to get theother starting safety spot over Zbikowski.The starting cornerbacks could be anycombinations of rookie first-round pickSmith, Foxworth, Williams and Carr.
KICKER: Billy CundiffPUNTER: Sam KochLONG SNAPPER: Morgan CoxCOMMENT: There was no question thatthis group would return. Cundiff is coming off his first Pro Bowl, and Koch islooking to reach his first one. Cox is backafter starting training camp on the PUPbecause of knee surgery in December.The Ravens have some questions with thereturn game. As far as kickoffs, the Ravenshave to decide between David Reed, Torrey Smith and LaQuan Williams. The current depth chart has Reed on kickoff returns and Webb on punt returns.
