"I loved your film [This Is Family]!! So funny, so well-written and so well shot. I love how you built to the close-ups on the father at the end too, you totally ramped up the tension in a beautifully natural way... hard to do... but you have cinema in your blood! BRAVO!!!!"
~ Cameron Crowe, Academy Award winning writer/director
"I've had the pleasure of working with Devin over the years on numerous projects, and I can assure you of the quality of his work and the experience as a whole. He is very easy to work with, and a consumate professional. He is not only a great editor, but an artist. He approaches all his projects as a creative force, not as a lowly technician waiting for you to tell him what to do. He takes initiative and interjects himself creatively in everything he does, but never in a way that comes off as "hijacking your vision" or taking control of your production.
His skill set is broader than that of any editor I know, with a knowledge of animation, set design, photography, lighting, and sound design. He is also a brilliant communicator and his artistic intuition is astounding. He can offer valuable advice in just about any area, including music, directing, and writing. You can always count on him to deliver the goods, better than you expected, even under crippling deadlines.
Bottom line: after working with this guy, you'll want him around on all your projects."
~ Zach Spickenreuther, composer
"I've worked with Devin on a number of projects and can attest to his tenacity. He has saved the day on many occasions through quick action and steady nerves. His post production skills are top shelf, and I dare say he is an expert in that department. I pain to think of a more on-task editor than Devin, and have seen him deliver excellently on brutal deadlines. He would be of great service to your enterprise."
~ Joe Holliday, production designer
"After witnessing Devin's grace under pressure on a challenging video shoot, he was my first call for a film project I was producing. We quickly developed a shorthand style of communicating and he instinctively knew what worked. His insights and expertise saved us time, money, and a lot of headaches. I highly recommend him."
~ Guy Birtwhistle, actor & producer
"Devin Schiro is, for lack of a better word, a genius at what he does. I have had the pleasure, and I *mean* pleasure, of working with Devin on a number of projects. He has always gone beyond expectations and continues to astound me with the quality of his finished products. Not only is his work brilliant, but his work ethic is something to be admired. He is a "go-with-the-flow" kind of guy, but at the same time he keeps on top of things. He is punctual and he executes his task with ease. He makes sure that his work comes out 110% the way you want it. As a director of theatre, I have a specific eye for things, and Devin is able to capture that eye precisely the way I want it. He has my full backing and support in being hired. You will be sorry if you don't get him while you can."
~ Justin Thompson, director
"We've had great pleasure in working with Devin. To us, his creative insight and ingenuity in working with the limited resources given to him helped paint a clear picture of our product. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and was able to meet our needs with issue while adding conceptual value throughout the whole process. There was even a time in the late stages of the project where he took it upon himself to re-shoot certain scenes for the sole purpose creating the best product video possible. And because of Devin's commitment to our project, major players in our industries immediately contacted us after the video he shot went viral. We definitely plan on using Devin again on all of our future projects."

Nation & World
In Egypt, does 'will of the people' mean keeping or ousting Morsi?
The demonstrations scheduled for later this week to mark the first anniversary of Mohammed Morsi's ascension to Egypt's presidency revolve around a single question: Which defines the will of the people, what happened at the ballot boxes a year ago or the growing anger today at what many think has been Morsi's politically corrupt and incompetent leadership?
Morsi, his supporters and the Muslim Brotherhood say the people spoke when they voted last year, making Morsi the nation's first democratically elected president. That makes the calls that he step down illegitimate, they say. The people can speak again three years from now, during the next election.
His growing number of opponents say the results of last year's elections are no longer relevant. What matters now is the growing discontent about a flailing economy, a divided political system, collapsing security and what they charge is Morsi's illegitimate power grab. Morsi now controls the legislature and has moved his backers into the judiciary.
The divisions will be on display this week as Morsi's critics and his supporters gear up for demonstrations to mark the anniversary Saturday of his inauguration.
The supporters have summoned pro-government demonstrators to gather Thursday, with pro-Morsi Islamists using a Facebook page to declare "legitimacy is a red line." Last week, supporters staged a rally of more than 100,000 people.
Anti-Morsi rallies are scheduled for Saturday, and shop owners are coordinating with their employees on shifts so they can keep businesses open while taking part in protests that might go on indefinitely, much like the ones in 2011 that led to the fall of then-President Hosni Mubarak.
"We want a president who feels with the people. We want security back. During Mubarak, there wasn't money but at least there was security," said Nasser Ali, 38, a taxi driver who plans to participate in the anti-Morsi rallies. "I used to allow my 22-year-old sister to stay out till 3 in the morning and I wasn't scared. Now I am afraid if she is out till 10 p.m."
Morsi himself will address the nation Wednesday. At a hastily arranged news conference Monday night, presidential spokesman Omar Amer said the speech would be important, though he offered no details. "Wednesday is not far away," he said.
There's no constitutional basis for Morsi's removal, and critics of those who are calling for his departure say they're conducting themselves as undemocratically as they accuse Morsi of behaving.
The charge doesn't deter Morsi's detractors, however.
"So what if 1,000 of us die? There are 90 million of us," said a fruit vendor who identified himself only as Gamel as he bought cigarettes in the upscale neighborhood of Zamalek. "I am prepared to die. Let my children live. Egypt is dying."
Among the many criticisms of Morsi that opponents offer is the charge that he's divided the country, pushing the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood, the secretive organization through which he became prominent, over that of Egypt's many other constituencies.
They say he's increasingly appointed Brotherhood members to key posts, and has shunned opponents and called them spies of foreign nations. He's arrested critics, including satirist Bassem Youssef, for insulting the presidency. He's increasingly appointed Islamist judges, and he's often remained silent during crises involving the deaths of liberal activists while condemning the deaths of his supporters.
The ultimate judge of what should happen may be Egypt's revered military, the country's last nationalist institution and respected arbiter. In a speech Sunday, the defense minister and the supreme commander of the armed forces, Abdel-Fattah el Sissi, said the military would interfere if there were "uncontrollable conflict," the strongest statement by the military during Morsi's presidency and one that some think portends a possible military intervention.
"There is a state of division in the society, and the continuation of it is a danger to the Egyptian state," Sissi said. The military has a "patriotic and moral responsibility" to defend Egyptians from violence, he said.
In the impoverished Cairo neighborhood of Imbaba, residents debated Monday whose side the military would take. Supporters of Morsi interpreted Sissi's remarks to mean that it would defend the government; opponents said the comments were a warning that the military would intervene because Morsi couldn't handle governing.
Faheem Abdel Hameed, 37, a mechanic, suggested that the size of the crowds this week would sway the military. "If big numbers take to the streets, the military will make Morsi go home," he said.
A Morsi supporter, Wafer Ali, 32, interrupted Hameed and offered his own understanding of Sissi's comments.
"If the people care about this country, they would stand with Morsi and express their concerns and opinion peacefully," Ali said. "What Sissi means is that he is worried about the country and he will protect the legitimacy."
Morsi's fate would be clearer if the opposition could offer a better alternative. But it, too, is divided and unorganized. The result is a nation that's largely fed up, saying the last year has taught it Morsi is incapable of leading the country and tackling its seemingly intractable corruption, economic and political problems.
In a blog for the U.S. publication Foreign Policy, Mohamed ElBaradei, a former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency who's now the leader of the National Salvation Front – the biggest conglomerate of Morsi opponents – spelled out the nation's well-known problems but fell short of outlining specific solutions.
"We in the opposition have been urging President Mohammed Morsi and company for months that Egypt needs a government that is competent and impartial, at least through the upcoming parliamentary election. We need a broad-based committee to amend the Egyptian Constitution, which pretty much everyone agrees falls short of ensuring a proper balance of power and guaranteeing basic rights and freedoms. And we need a political partnership between the other established parties," ElBaradei wrote.
Morsi has scrambled to shore up support. He offered billions in aid to the restive Sinai and pay raises for government workers, promised to improve the electricity and water shortages, and even cut ties with Syria. The Health Ministry has offered free government care, and Morsi stepped up the rhetoric with Ethiopia over its proposal to build a dam, which might affect Egypt's water supplies. All the while, the well-organized Muslim Brotherhood has mobilized thousands to the streets.
In the end, if there's a connective thread between both sides, it's their desperate plea for stability. It seems that if Morsi could offer a modicum of hope, the protests could be staved off.
"If Morsi seriously does something I won't participate in the protest. I just want stability. I am not against Morsi as a person, I am against his failed policy. He had promised a lot and did nothing," said Mohammed Ezz, 44, a seed shop owner from Imbaba.

please add some more things in the article...
I added to the article. I don't understand the comment about
It doesn't seem to have any dependencies on kdewin-installer, are you saying that it can reuse those packages or the same bin directory? If so presumably I need to make my emerge DOWNLOADDIR (default C:\distfiles) match my kdewin-installer "package download path"
I noticed that kderoot\bin had
libeay32.dll, libiconv2.dll, libintl3.dll, ssleay32.dll
before the win32libs step, but that adds new versions of these to bin.
I notice that kderoot\tmp had 561 MB of stuff in it, can this be removed?
kdesettings.bat is not adding KDEROOT\bin and KDEROOT\lib to my PATH, it's some weirdness with the if test in the batch file.
-- Skierpage 11:08, 15 November 2007 (CET)
It was not entirely clear where to proceed once emerge had be setup.
Adding, for instance
" ...will not work unless necessary prerequisites are met. These are, in the order in which they should be built:
kdesupport kdelibs kdepimlibs kdebase/runtime
This may be of assistance to newbie kde testers such as myself (the above list maybe incorrect).
There are some files with missing or incomplete declarations, that makes it hard to compile. :( pls fixxxx

I had purchased another reed diffuser that was called Cilantro Orange....I love the fresh scent of orange in my kitchen. I was so disappointed because the oil smelled like fresh chopped chili's and no detection of orange; I found it offensive. I had the glass bottle and being I had the Mandarin Coriander in the hand wash & lotion I knew I loved the fragrance; I purchased the refill and I love it. Really smells like a true orange which is what I wanted in the first place. My kitchen smells like fresh oranges.

Our nation has 10.6 million undocumented individuals. This number is down from 11.6 million because of the recession and xenophobic sentiments expressed by U.S. citizens. This number is astounding; however, our nation and society has historically created a dependency on these immigrants to keep our nation functioning. More recently through neoliberal policies and NAFTA, we, as a nation, have fostered this great migration of people north.

Secondary data analysis — reanalyzing existing data in new ways — is an important component of NIJ's research program on violence against American Indian (AI) and Alaska Native (AN) women. Because the data have already been collected, secondary data analysis often requires fewer resources (e.g., time and money) than does primary data collection. Secondary analysis provides an opportunity to expand our understanding of the nature, consequences and responses to violence against AI and AN women by using existing data sources.
Researchers are using a variety of health systems data and federal, state, local and tribal crime sources to examine:
NIJ's secondary data analysis projects undertaken are:
This study was meant to thoughtfully examine the Justice Department's Indian Country practice as it pertains to the U.S. Attorneys' activities in Indian Country. NIJ partnered with EOUSA to examine LIONS data to try to provide a snapshot of Indian Country cases handled by U.S. Attorneys during the 2008 fiscal year.
NIJ staff reviewed all reporting tools and systems that U.S. Attorneys use to manage cases and report annual statistics. Other activities involved reviewing and documenting established internal control procedures and systems for gathering, verifying and reporting statistics; and reviewing case file documentation from official documents, such as annual statistical reports.
Before this effort, there had never been a systematic, detailed description of the U.S. Attorneys' activities in Indian Country, primarily because federal data systems were never designed to collect information about Indian Country specifically. Although EOUSA includes cases from Indian Country in its Annual Statistical Report,[1] much of the detail and context of Indian Country cases is lost when presented in aggregate-level reports.
NIJ's review was intended to address this lack of information by providing a snapshot of Indian Country cases handled by U.S. Attorneys. However, this review identified a number of serious limitations in using these data as a measure either of crime or of prosecution efforts in Indian Country. It was determined that proper analysis of case processing in Indian Country required a thorough review of individual case information that could only be obtained by reviewing individual hardcopy case files and consulting with U.S. Attorney's Office staff. Given the limitations of the data and the prohibitive government investment that would be required to conduct hard copy case file reviews, this project was suspended.
NIJ and the FBI's Indian Country Crimes Unit partnered to study the FBI's response to violence against Native American women in Indian Country. NIJ and the FBI are interested in obtaining baseline statistics about the:
This project examines all death investigations, domestic violence, sexual assault and assault case files where the victim was a Native American woman. The information collected for this project gives details about geographic dispersion of cases and more information about the numbers of cases associated with constructs such as domestic violence or homicide. A research brief is forthcoming in the spring of 2013.
This project will examine the nature and incidence of Native American homicides. The analyses will be based on data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Indian Health Service, the FBI, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and state authorities. The project will examine the differences between the various data sources and compare the estimates obtained from these analyses with existing estimates. Researchers will discuss the impact that these differences have on policy and research.
This project involved the identification of data sources and data systems that pertain to the victimization of American Indian and Alaska Native women, both on and off tribal lands. The data sources and data systems of interest include those that will provide statistics on:

The beautiful velvet-clad auditorium of the Royal Opera House is a Grade I listed building that dates back to 1858. Monitoring and maintaining the auditorium and its historic contents is the responsibility of the ROH Collections Department. Now, with The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera on their summer break, the auditorium stands empty, and ROH Collections have seized the opportunity to undertake a conservation project above the stage.
High above the proscenium arch is a decorative gilt-and-plaster frieze depicting scenes from mythology, with a profile portrait of Queen Victoria at its centre. The frieze has been in place since the current theatre opened in 1858 and was last restored in 1998 when the entire auditorium was renovated. However, recently cracks have started to appear in the plaster figures and the gold leaf has started to peel. The time has come to call in the conservators.
Although the problem was identified in mid-January 2012, due to a heavy schedule there were only two days last Season when accessing the frieze was possible. So, with no performances or rehearsals on stage last week, the seating was removed from the Orchestra Stalls, a spider lift was installed, and a brave conservator went up in a very small basket to investigate the damage up close.

The cracks in the frieze seem to have been caused by fluctuating temperatures and humidity created by the large number of people (2,250 to be precise) who visit the auditorium each night. These changing conditions cause the frieze's plaster and paint to shrink and expand, which has led to flaking and cracking. With just two days to repair the damage before the auditorium was in use again, the conservator (from Plowden & Smith, a company who carry out nearly all of the Royal Opera House's building and object conservation) only had time to consolidate the most obviously damaged areas in the centre,while taking detailed notes and photographs of the rest of the frieze.
The end result of this work is fantastic – even eagle-eyed audience members will be unable to see anything out of the ordinary when they gaze above the stage. Collections will continue to monitor the condition of the frieze throughout the year (with the help of a telephoto lens) and a conservator will be back up there next summer to ensure it continues to look good for years to come.
Find out more about the auditorium of the Royal Opera House by joining us for one of our Velvet, Gilt and Glamour tours. If you feel inspired to support the work of the Royal Opera House, there are many ways to take part, from becoming a Friend of Covent Garden to sponsoring a role in a ballet or opera.

Iowa court: Bosses can fire 'irresistible' workers
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court says a dentist did not commit gender discrimination when he fired an attractive female assistant he viewed as a threat to his marriage.
The court ruled Friday that a boss can fire an employee he considers an "irresistible attraction," even if the employee has done nothing wrong.
The decision is the first in Iowa, but in line with rulings elsewhere.
Justices rejected a discrimination lawsuit filed by Melissa Nelson, who was fired by Fort Dodge dentist James Knight in 2010.
Nelson had worked in Knight's office for 10 years. She and Knight eventually started texting outside work about personal matters. Knight's wife, who also worked at the office, found out and demanded Nelson's firing.
Knight's lawyer says the court's decision is "in favor of family values."

Sponsored Riders
Every year, Twisted Throttle picks a few adventure riders to work with in raising money for charities. We help outfit their bikes and prepare them for round-the-world adventures undertaken to raise money for a good cause. We also provide their trip with added media visibility. If you're interested in working with us on a charitable project, send your proposals to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Chris "Teach" McNeil
Who is "Teach" McNeil? Teach is a school teacher known worldwide as one of the most skilled stunt riders on the planet.
A two-time XDL East Coast Champion and 2008 Stuntwars World Champion, McNeil has put his ability to the test and WON! A Lot!
We outfitted Teach's BMW F800GS and S1000RR so that he can do the brutal R&D that none of us are willing to do.
Teach intentionally crashes his bikes during his stunt shows as a way to demonstrate just how durable our crash protection is!
Teach educates us about how well each piece of crash protection performs to see if improvements can be made.
This type of R&D is infinitely valuable in helping us offer the toughest luggage and strongest protection available to our customers.
It's what we do.
Patrick Trahan
Patrick Trahan Update
18 fractures! That's the result of hitting a pick-up truck head on at 75 mph. Many of you may recall that Twisted Throttle built and sponsored Patrick on his quest to raise money for Children's Wish Foundation by circumnavigating the African continent. Patrick successfully raised $5,000.00 for the Foundation. Unfortunately, Patrick's adventure was cut short just days into the trip. Thankfully, he survived and was evacuated to Johannesburg, South Africa where his injuries were tended to. It turn out that Patrick is a fast healer! He already has plans for an April tour through Morocco. Good for you Patrick!
From Patrick's blog:
"I do believe in dreams and I will continue the fundraising when I am at home. And even if all doesn't go according to plan…do not stop dreaming."
Stephanie Tarian
Stephanie Tarian is a sixteen year old with a purpose. This young lady is planning an epic motorcycle expedition that will take her around the world... and Twisted Throttle will be traveling right along with her!
We outfitted Stephanie's 2011 BMW G650GS with rugged SW-MOTECH crashbars and skid plate for crash protection, as well as sidecarriers with TraX ALU-Boxes to securely carry her long list of necessities. To help light her way, we also installed a set of Denali LED lights!
This expedition will allow Stephanie to introduce adventure motorcycle riding to people of all ages from around the world and inspire young women and men to reach for their goals. Follow Stephanie as she circumnavigates the globe by logging onto the Moto Teen World and Twisted Throttle websites. Also, be sure to Friend Us on Facebook, and sign up to be on our mailing list so you can receive monthly updates.

The 1940 U.S. Census Index is Complete
Ancestry.com announced on Friday that the 1940 U.S. Census is 100% indexed.
You can now search the entire 1940 index for free, all 48 states (Hawaii and Alaska were not states yet) plus territories. A free account is required, but word is that Ancestry will make this index free through 2013.
According to Ancestry.com:
Our indexing came up with 134,395,545 people counted. Most reports on the 1940 census give the U.S. population as 132 million and change, so you may be wondering where the extra 2 million people came from. Two words: Puerto Rico. OK, and Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Panama Canal Zone. They were all included in the 1940 U.S. census and add another 2.1 million or so records to the final count.
I've found all of my grandparents. How about you?
Pearl Harbor Day, and My Own Great Uncle Lost at Sea in WWII
Today is Pearl Harbor Day here in the U.S., the anniversary of the day Japan executed a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in 1941, killing and wounding thousands, and ushering the U.S. into World War II.
I can imagine that day must have felt a lot like 9/11 to the people of the US, though news surely travelled much more slowly in 1941 than it did 60 years later in 2001. Most Americans surely learned about it in the daily newspaper.
While I had no family members directly affected that day, the course of events led to both my Grandfather and my Great Uncle serving in that great war. I think of my poor grandmother who had both a brother and a husband serving in the war. My grandfather returned home after the war (thankfully, as I would not otherwise exist), but my grandmother's brother did not.
Corporal Arnold Gene McIlwraith was an Engineer gunner on a B-24. He was on flight from Mather Field in Sacramento, CA to John Ridgers Field in Hawaii on Feb 28, 1945 when his plane went missing somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.
I discovered this image recently in the Missing Air Craft Reports (MACR), available in the National Archives, and indexed on Fold3.com.
What's odd to me is that by my reckoning, the coordinates on the report put their airplane well beyond Hawaii, close to Japan.
Did routine B-24 flights from CA to HI have them going via Japan? I don't even think their plane's final point was in range from California. I guess we'll never know.
Explaining Genealogy to my Five Year Old
This evening, I sat down to dinner with my family and said to my five year old son, Alex, "Do you know who the Pilgrims are?"
"Yeah, they had a very tough boat ride," he said. "And then they were friends with the native Americans."
"That's about right," I said with a big smile. It was all my wife and I could do to contain ourselves.
Then I said, "So, do you know what a 'great-grandfather' is?"
He looked at me sort of puzzled.
You see where I was going with this? My goal was to explain to him that his 11th-Great grandfather, actually two of them, were on that boat ride.
Then I pulled out a piece of paper, and drew a short family tree starting with him. His little brother, who was listening intently said, "Hey, where am I?" So I added him in, and their big sister Sarah as I knew that was next, though she wasn't there for the discussion.
I pointed at the first stick figure and said, "OK, this is you...and this is me and your mother."
Then I pointed to my parents and said, "Who are they?"
Then I pointed to his mother's parents...
Wow, he's getting it.
Then I drew two more lines and stick figures for my grandfather and grandmother.
"Who are they?" he asked.
"That's my grandfather and grandmother."
"What are their names?" he said, more interested than I expected.
"Robert and Helen," I replied, "That's where you got your middle name. They are my grandparents and they are your great grandparents."
Then what he said next floored me.
"Does it keep going Dad? Who's above them?"
OK, here we go. This was easier than I thought. I drew the next two above my grandfather.
"And what were their names?" he asked excitedly.
He was truly interested in these people and their names and then he started asking if they were still alive. I explained that they were born a very long time ago.
"Vickery Baker was born in 1797. That would make him over 200 years old today."
His eyes lit up, "wow."
I kept going and drew the tree, only including the line up to Stephen Hopkins, and explained who he was.
"Was he the boss of the ship dad?" (heh, 5 year olds have their priorities.)
"Well, no."
"How old would he be?"
"About 420."
Alex then wrote, "40020" at the top of the chart, which is his version of Four Hundred and Twenty.
"Does it go all the way back to the cavemen, Dad?"
"Well, I suppose it does, Alex..."
Which sort of blows my mind to contemplate that.
Here's the entire chart. It starts at the bottom right.
As I was going through this exercise, I realized that I had never actually drawn that tree by hand. What a shame that I had never done that, and that I couldn't do it from memory. And while I did know that I'm 13th generation Mayflower ancestor, I couldn't have told you without looking it up that the male line includes one Hopkins, Five Snows, and Five Bakers before it changed to my surname with my father.
I'm not sure who learned more, my son or me.
I look forward to more genealogy sessions with Alex.

Children and Ancestors of Martin GINGRAS and Emilie MAYRAND
A member asked me if I had any information on Martin GINGRAS m. Emilie MAYRAND Aug 25 1846.
I found this couple in the GINGRAS FAMILY MARRIAGES book by Andrew GINGRAS, July 1995.
It is important to note that this book is NOT primary documentation. The tireless work of Andrew GINGRAS over the years produced an incredible amount of information, but I am not certain that it is all sourced with primary documentation. It is a wonderful collection nonetheless and we're lucky to have it.
The formatting of this book can be difficult to get used to, but this first image shows the header format. Here's Martin and Emilie with their parents Magloire GINGRAS and Vicroire GAVREAU and Children.
Here they have 7 children who were married (non married Gingrases don't make this book): Rene, Philippe, Alfred, Leopold, Emma, Jeanne, and Emelia.
Going back…
Again, the formatting of this book can be confusing, but the first line in each of these families is the husband/wife. The second line is their parents, and the third+ lines are their children.

Family Bee: Genealogy App for Android phones
How many times have you been out visiting family and end up in a discussion about your family tree? It doesn't take too many generations back for the details of who's who to become fuzzy and if you're like my family, you end up spending more time trying to recreate the tree in your heads than having some more productive discussion around family history.
In any case, I like to have my family research with me wherever I am as I never know when I'll need it.
iPhone owners have been blessed with a plethora of GEDCOM-viewing apps that have been available for years now.
Though if you've got an Android-based smartphone (like the Motorola Droid or the Google Nexus One) and have been feeling left out, there's now a nifty application available that allows you to store and view one or more GEDCOM files, called Family Bee, available from Beekeeper Labs.
Family Bee is a simple GEDCOM viewer (not editor), which means you can store your GEDCOM file(s) in your Android phone and view any of the people in your tree in many different ways (more on that below). But you cannot edit and make changes. This is fine with me, as I'd prefer to be able to carefully make edits to my family tree information at the comfort of my computer keyboard.
Set up
After purchasing it from the Android Marketplace and installing it, you're prompted with three ways to import your GEDCOM file:
- Download directly from the web
- Email as an attachment
- Copy from the computer via USB
I chose the third option as it seemed the simplest, and it was. I copied my largest (and most bloated with inaccuracies) GEDCOM file downloaded fresh from Ancestry.com into the /familybee folder on my phone's SD card.
Once this was done, Family Bee quickly loaded the file and displayed the list of people in my tree.
Using Family Bee
The first thing you see when loading Family Bee is a list of people in the GEDCOM. You can scroll through this list or search. Here I searched for the name SLADE.
Once you choose a person, here Coralinn SLADE, you're presented with the Family View.
Next you can drill down to the details on a specific person in the Detail View
And finally you can get in to the very specific details on any record such as Residence data, birth, death, etc. Virtually all information included in the GEDCOM source and notes fields are accessible.
And for any person, you can view their list of descendants, here switching to someone way back with a big list, Abigail ADAMS.
Switching to Tree View, you can navigate the entire tree by touching each box. Touching boxes on the right will move the tree to the right. Touching a box on the left will prompt you with a list of children to choose from.
Family Bee should with with any Android phone. I scrolled through the comments in the marketplace and didn't see any major issues with specific phones. It currently has a 4.5 star rating and virtually nothing but great reviews.
All in all, this is a very function GEDCOM viewer for the Android OS, and well worth the $10 price tag to always have my family tree in my pocket.

Nokia isn't quite bringing sexy back, but we'll instead take Ringtone Maker. The app was unavailable for those who upgraded to Windows Phone 7.8 early, as we previously reported on back in December. The app was subsequently removed due to it causing issues. Since then we've had no Ringtone Maker, but Nokia has swooped in and laid the golden egg.
Reviews on the store so far are positive, which is always a good sign that everything's back in working order. Unfortunately the app isn't listed in the Nokia Collection, so be sure to search for the app or use the link or QR code in this article. Should you wish to take a song and cut it to make your own ringtones, be sure to check out this app on your Lumia Windows Phone.
You can download Ringtone Maker from the Windows Phone Store. via: Plaffo; thanks, Dario, for the tip!

EJ Manuel got another chance Tuesday to move his way up draft boards at Florida State's pro day.
NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock believed the quarterback did nothing to hurt his value after watching his workout. According to Mayock, Manuel made 54 scripted throws that highlighted his arm strength and movement skills.
In his latest positional breakdown, Mayock listed Manuel as the second-best quarterback in his draft class behind West Virginia's Geno Smith. On Tuesday, Mayock made an interesting comparison in judging Manuel's potential.
"I think he's a better prospect than Christian Ponder was two years ago with more upside," Mayock said on NFL Network's "Path To The Draft."
Ponder was the 12th overall pick by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2011 NFL Draft.
"In all honesty, I had Ponder a second-round guy and Minnesota took him pretty high, and the jury is still out there," Mayock said. "I think this kid (Manuel) has better arm talent, he's a bigger, more physical specimen and really his ceiling is higher. Now, I don't know if his floor is as high, but his ceiling is higher."
Does that make Manuel a rich man's Christian Ponder? And if so, is that a good thing? Opinions certainly vary on Ponder, which makes Mayock's comparison tough to evaluate.
You can say the same about this entire quarterback class.

- FA Cup
Fergie: Van Persie equaliser 'world class'
Sir Alex Ferguson saluted the brilliance of Manchester United's equalising goal after they forced an FA Cup replay against West Ham.
Two James Collins headers, both from crosses by the returning Joe Cole who was back in Hammers colours almost 10 years after his departure to Chelsea, looked set to earn the home side a 2-1 victory.
But Ryan Giggs played a tremendous long pass into the path of his fellow substitute Robin van Persie who rifled in a stoppage-time equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw at Upton Park.
United manager Ferguson always hoped there would be late drama, and insisted he never thought the game had got away from his players.
"You never do that with our team,'' Ferguson said. "When you're 2-1 down with a couple of minutes left you just hope you get a break, but the manner of goal - the pass from Ryan Giggs and first touch from Robin van Persie and his finish - is absolutely world class, absolutely fantastic.''
Ferguson praised the influence Van Persie is having at United in his first season with the club. His goals have been vital, but Ferguson sees more to the Dutchman's game.
"He's at a mature age now. He's brought that maturity to our front line,'' the Scot said. "And his performance after coming on was tremendous.''
Cole was substituted before the United late show denied him the taste of victory on his first appearance since signing from Liverpool. "It was a great start on a personal note but it still feels like a missed opportunity,'' Cole told ITV1.
He recognised United would keep going until the final whistle, and appreciated the quality of their leveller. "They're a quality side and they've done that countless times," Cole said. "When you've got world-class players like Van Persie and Giggs, they can combine like that.
"I thought we defended really well. Good concentration, good heart and good discipline. We were unlucky not to win. We've got to go to Old Trafford again and that's a really tough game but we've done it before so we'll have another go."
Reflecting on his performance, Cole added: "It was a nice return. I didn't like all the fuss, I just wanted to get out there and play football. It was nice to get involved and get the minutes under my belt. It's been a long time since I played properly. Three or four games and I'll be back to my best.''

Fire conditions
require faster action
I'm watching snow fall outside my office as I write this, just a couple hours after listening to emergency dispatches about large grass fires that took multiple fire departments to extinguish, then had to be re-extinguished after being reignited by a single hot spot, and I'm glad to hear the county is trying to devise a better system for limiting burning when conditions are ripe for fires to get out of control.
Currently, when a farmer, rancher, or road and bridge crew wants to have a controlled burn, they are supposed to call the county communications office to notify the county — notify, not ask if fires are allowed. Dispatchers can let callers know that there is a fire weather warning if conditions are dry and windy, but they can't stop someone from burning unless the county commission has approved a burn ban ordinance.
The commission meets more often than city councils or school boards, but there are still six days a week that the commission doesn't meet most weeks. The result is that by the time the commission has an opportunity to issue a burn ban, the worst of dry or windy conditions are often already past.
The county commission plans to pass a resolution that will set criteria for a burn ban, rather than requiring a new resolution each time a ban is implemented. That would avoid the delayed response of having dangerous conditions lead to a big fire on a Wednesday, followed by approval of a burn ban the next Monday.
Alternatively, the commission could pass an ordinance granting some full-time official — the sheriff and emergency manager seem like the sensible choices, given their close ties with the emergency communications department — the authority to make decisions about whether or not to allow controlled burns on a day-by-day basis.
Without some kind of change to the procedure for issuing burn bans, the county commission will be stuck trying to put out fires that have already happened.

Love is the greatest adventure of all. And it's one that no holographic mentor or alien sidekick can prepare you for. So it's lucky that science fiction and fantasy are chock full of stories of people who've played the game of love... and won. (Or, in some cases, just not died.)
We combed through science fiction's great love stories to glean the important lessons that could transform your love life. Here are some relationship secrets from science fiction and fantasy's greatest couples. With spoilers!
Introduce your sweetie to more people like yourself, so she can place you in context.
In Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Princess Leia isn't sure what to make of Han Solo, the self-centered brigand who just wants to get paid and has no notion of chivalry and heroism and all that stuff. So Han decides to introduce Leia to another "scoundrel," so she can realize that he's one of a kind, in both senses. He's unique, but he's also a particularly awesome specimen of the genus "scoundrel." (And by turning Han over to Darth Vader and getting him stuck in carbonite, Lando is making Han's point for him, thus being the perfect wingman.)
If you really love someone, you will stab them and send them to Hell.
When you're in a relationship with someone, you aren't their mother; you aren't their father; you aren't even their godparent. You're their partner, and so you can't always protect them from themselves. Sometimes, you have to let them suffer the consequences of their actions. In the season two finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy has to kill Angel and send him to Hell because his evil alter ego, Angelus, has unleashed a world-ending you-know-what-storm that only his death will prevent.
Variety is the spice of life.
In A Song of Ice and Fire, Daenerys Targaryen is forced into marriage at age thirteen to a man who terrifies her — although at least in the book version it's very clear that she verbally consents to their sex:
"His fingers were deft and strangely tender. He removed her silks one by one, carefully, while Dany sat unmoving, silent, looking at his eyes. When he bared her small breasts, she could not help herself. She averted her eyes and covered herself with her hands. "No," Drogo said. He pulled her hands away from her breasts, gently but firmly, then lifted her face again to make her look at him. "No," he repeated.
"No," she echoed back at him.
He stood her up then and pulled her close to remove the last of her silks. The night air was chilly on her bare skin. She shivered, and gooseflesh covered her arms and legs. She was afraid of what would come next, but for a while nothing happened. Khal Drogo sat with his legs crossed, looking at her, drinking in her body with his eyes.
After a while he began to touch her. Lightly at first, then harder. She could sense the fierce strength in his hands, but he never hurt her. He held her hand in his own and brushed her fingers, one by one. He ran a hand gently down her leg. He stroked her face, tracing the curve of her ears, running a finger gently around her mouth. He put both hands in her hair and combed it with his fingers. He turned her around, massaged her shoulders, slid a knuckled down the path of her spine.
It seems as if hours passed before his hands finally went to her breasts. He stroked the soft skin underneath until it tingled. He circled her nipples with his thumbs, pinched them between thumb and forefinger, the began to pull at her, very lightly at first, then more insistently, until her nipples stiffened and began to ache.
He stopped then, and drew her down onto his lap. Dany was flushed and breathless, her heart fluttering in her chest. He cupped her face in his huge hands and looked into his eyes. "No?" he said, and she knew it was a question.
She took his hand and moved it down to the wetness between her thighs. "Yes," she whispered as she put his finger inside her."
But from then on, Drogo and Daenerys only have sex in a way that allows Drogo to show his dominance and gives her very little control over what's going on. After their wedding night, she finally asks her handmaiden Doreah to teach her how to seduce him. That night, under the open sky, they switch up positions so she's in control — and not only does she have a great time, but he calls out her name in ecstasy.
Long distance can work, as long as you find a way to keep a piece of the person you love with you.
As we discovered at the end of Dollhouse, Echo and Paul Ballard are finally happy together — despite being separated by the epic distance of… well, bodily death. How do they manage this? Paul is quite literally alive in Echo's mind. His memories and personality have been imprinted into Echo, and she can see him whenever she wants.
Try and find someone who shares your interests
While he's stuck on Earth, Thor (and his alternate personality Donald Blake) are pretty darn committed to nurse Jane Foster. Despite his family's obvious dislike of Jane (Odin threatens to disown Thor for dating her; Loki tries to kill her) and Thor and Jane's lack of any shared interests aside from "helping people," they stay together for quite some time, and through quite a few difficult trials.
But when the going gets tough, the tough get together with someone who's equally tough. After Jane Foster fails to prove herself worthy of immortality, Odin sends her back to Earth and wipes her memory. She eventually marries a nice mortal doctor, Keith Kincaid, and Thor ends up with a fellow warrior, Lady Sif.
Pay attention to the little changes, because they can mean a lot
Peter Bishop likes to pretend he's a keen observer of human nature, thanks to his years as a conman. But when he finally hooks up with Olivia, he totally fails to notice the 1000 little clues that she's not "his" Olivia — all those little mistakes, including Olivia thinking that Ronald Reagan starred in Casablanca. Not to mention the dead body in Olivia's bathroom. And then more recently, when the "real" Olivia starts having memories of her life with Peter, he falls into the trap of thinking she's just being imprinted with Peter's own memories — he totally misses all the little clues that she's remembering the original timeline in general, because she remembers stuff Peter didn't even know about. If Peter Bishop would learn to pay attention to the small clues, his love life would be a lot smoother.
Love is worth waiting for
Aragorn is 20 years old when he first spies the beautiful, ethereal Arwen, clad in a mantle of silver and blue. She's so lovely, he mistakes her for Lúthien from the Lay of Lúthien. But then he spends nearly 30 years off fighting against Sauron and being a hero, before he finally meets up with her again. And even though Aragorn comes from a pretty undesirable bloodline, as the heir of greedy Isildur, who refused to destroy the One Ring. He's not exactly Elrond's first choice for his daughter — but you can't say no to true love, especially after it's waited three decades.
Your wedding is about you two, not the ceremony (even if your in-laws don't think so)
When Worf and Dax from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine want to get married, Dax has to request permission to join Worf's surrogate family, the House of Martok, in order for him to have a Klingon ceremony. And Dax can't join without meeting the approval of Sirella, mistress of the house of Martok. After infuriating Sirella by cheekily pointing out that Sirella is descended not from imperial blood but a concubine, she is forbidden from joining the house. Worf asks her to beg forgiveness, and she initially refuses, but Sisko persuades her to endure the humiliation for the sake of her love of Worf. At last, they're married, with Sirella's blessing.
If you're gonna be starting something, start it right.
In Once Upon A Time, David/James and Mary Margaret/Snow White are obviously attracted to one another, despite David's marriage to Kathryn/Abigail. Unable to resist one another, David and Mary Margaret embark on an illicit affair that eventually becomes public and leads to Kathryn's disappearance from Storybrooke. When Kathryn's heart is found in Mary Margaret's jewelry box, she is arrested for murder. While we're all sure that Mary Margaret's being framed by Regina, the moral of the story here is that if you want to hook up with a new person, it's worth being open and honest about it. If only because you're under a curse explicitly designed to prevent your happiness.
Stop trying to replace your ex.
This is all over science fiction. Peter and Olivia on Fringe, Aeryn and John Crichton in Farscape and Jo Lupo and Zane from Eureka... these are just a few of the pertinent examples. People are always hooking up with the nearly-exact-but-not-quite duplicate of their former loves. Usually, it's a doppelganger and/or other-universe version of the person they're supposed to be with. For example, Aeryn pursues a relationship with the "other Crichton" on Talyn.
Revealing the awful truth about the world is like an instant love charm
This is a super common trope in SF and fantasy — if you really want someone to swoon for you, discover the horrible, unspeakable truth about your dystopian world, and reveal it to everybody. Nobody can resist that. This happens in a ton of YA novels and dystopian stories — but a great example is Wall-E and Eve. Wall-E is totally smitten with the sleek, high-end scout robot, but she doesn't really reciprocate until he helps her prove that there's life on Earth, and the human existence on the Buy N Large spaceship is a lie.
Your true love is someone who helps you remember who you really are
It happens all the time — your loved one gets brainwashed and loses his/her identity. Sometimes it's a new job, sometimes it's an evil government conspiracy, sometimes it's just some crazy trauma. In any case, helping your loved one remember their true identity and what they're really about, can totally cement your love. A great example is Mockingjay, the third book of the Hunger Games trilogy, where — spoiler alert — Peeta gets kind of mixed up, and Katniss has to help him remember the difference between fantasy and reality.
Take turns rescuing each other
When Amy and Rory start traveling together in the TARDIS on Doctor Who, we think at first that Rory is just going to be saving Amy all the time — he helps get her out of her impetuous tangle with vampires, and later waits 2,000 years for her to come back to him after she's placed in the Pandorica. But in their second season, Amy does plenty of rescuing Rory, saving him from the mermaid's curse on a pirate ship and bailing him out a few other times. And when Rory is about to be killed by the Silence in the season finale, and they're taunting him that he'll always wait in vain for Amy — she comes back and kicks some ass on his behalf.

Syria nears completion of chemical weapons plan
Syria's proposal on removing chemical weapons is due Sunday.
WASHINGTON — Syria is nearing completion of a proposal for the removal or destruction of its chemical weapons, an ambitious operation that will probably require extensive international assistance, according to analysts.
The plan could involve moving most bulk or precursor chemicals to a single location, where they can be transported out of the country, perhaps on ships, analysts say.
The chemicals could be destroyed or neutralized by international experts outside Syria, said Paul Walker, an analyst at Green Cross International, an environmental research group.
If some of the chemicals are unstable or in rusted containers, an already complex program would be even more risky. No final decisions have been made.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the United States would not place U.S. military forces in war-torn Syria as part of the plan.
"There are no plans to have any U.S. forces in any way in Syria," Hagel said. He did not address the issue of the United States providing support outside of Syria.
U.S. and Russian experts collaborated on the destruction of Libya's chemical weapons after that country relinquished them in 2003. The United States and Russia have extensive experience in destroying chemical weapons.
Norway had considered assisting the effort but on Friday the Nordic nation said it lacked the capabilities to help with the disposal under such a tight deadline.
Hagel said NATO may be involved.
Syria has until Sunday to make a comprehensive declaration of what chemical weapons it has and plans for their destruction or removal.
"Details of the plan will depend on what Syria proposes and what other countries are willing to do to assist with this process," said Amy Smithson, a chemical and biological weapons non-proliferation specialist at the Monterey Institute of International Affairs.
The governing council at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which is overseeing the operation, will review Syria's plan and decide whether to approve it Nov. 15.
Inspectors have visited at least 18 of the 23 chemical weapons sites declared by Syria. The organization has said Syria is cooperating. Washington estimates Syrian leader Bashar Assad's military has about 1,000 metric tons of deadly chemicals, including nerve agents and mustard gas.
Removing or destroying the stockpiles is an unprecedented operation because of the tight timeline and the fact that workers will be securing the chemicals in a country mired in a civil war.
"Weaponized" chemicals in rockets, bombs or artillery shells would probably have to be incinerated where they are found, possibly in portable "bang boxes" designed for that purpose.
"Weapons would have to be destroyed in country," Walker said.
Syria may have fired most of its chemical weapons, leaving mostly chemicals and precursors to deal with.
"As far as I know, at this point, there's no weaponized agents," Walker said.
Generally, weapons have a shorter shelf life. The chemicals are usually stored, then mixed and placed in weapons shortly before they are fired.
Even bulk chemicals pose risks, particularly if they are in damaged containers or aging containers.
"Safety and security have to be taken into consideration in any decisions about movement of these items," Smithson said.
