Ryan Lochte, Ke$ha and the rules for celebrity reality shows
In order to be famous, it's no longer enough to just be famous.
You can win a gold medal at the Olympics or have a platinum-selling album, but these days, you also have to be -- cringe with us here -- a brand. That means endorsement deals, Twitter followers, maybe even serving as spokesperson for a flavored water. A scandal or two usually doesn't hurt.
But what can help set apart the sorta famous from the very famous is the celebrity reality show, or "docu-series" if you're feeling fancy. These behind-the-scenes peeks at stars' lives simultaneously keep them in the spotlight while bringing them down to earth, and (they hope) gain them millions of new fans. It's a difficult line to walk, and some series can come off as desperate and fake. If it's done well, though, it can catapult lower-tier celebs to fame that lasts for years.
This week marks the debut of two such shows. Sunday, E! sets in motion "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?," a look at the Olympic swimmer who made headlines at last year's London games -- not so much for his victories and friendly rivalry with teammate Michael Phelps as for a flurry of awkward interviews and self-deluded sound bites (trademarking the catch-word "Jeah!") that gave him a party-boy reputation.
On Tuesday, MTV premieres "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life," which follows the pop star who shot to fame after the release of her 2009 mega-hit "Tik Tok," on which she sang about brushing her teeth with Jack Daniels. A few million album sales later, the singer -- born Kesha Sebert -- become known for her dance-rap anthems, being covered in glitter and embracing weird for the sake of weird.
Looking at the stars of both series, it's easy to see similarities: two people talented in their respective fields, with outlandish public personas that threaten to overshadow their achievements. There's a lot to gain from so much personal exposure, and even more to lose. Whether or not the shows are good is almost irrelevant (both fall in the category of "entertaining in an aggressively mediocre way"). More important, both serve as warnings -- or guides -- to stars wanting to kick their fame up to the next level. What are the most important lessons to take away from the "celeb docu-series" genre?
These people are famous for having a skill. You need to remind people of that fact.
"How many medals do you have?" an off-screen producer is heard asking Lochte, who sits for his on-camera interviews wearing a bulky hoodie and blank expression, one of the few scenes that isn't a gratuitously shirtless shot. Lochte sighs. "I don't even remember what I got at the Olympics," he confesses.
An animated chalkboard pops up: Lochte's had five gold, three silver and three bronze medals at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics (that equals 11, the graphic helpfully summarizes). He also holds four world records. The show doesn't go into his accomplishments in the pool in great detail. Much is made of his training starting at 7 a.m. every day, since it's a given that he partied hard the night before. "Tomorrow morning, be ready, be responsible," his swim coach sternly tells him after Lochte mentions he's going out for "a couple beers."
"My Crazy Beautiful Life," however, focuses much more on Ke$ha's career, particularly what happens on stage. There are the obligatory shots of her trademark eye-searing set pieces and costumes -- glitter guns, horse heads, neon glow-in-the-dark paint, sequins, lasers.
The series also shows what happens after the singer collapses backstage after performing, and it's not glamorous. There's gasping for breath, chugging water, and extreme makeup removal -- and in one instance right before a huge show in Europe, she loses her voice.
As her manager explains that she needs to get lots of rest and sleep next to a humidifier, Ke$ha is on the verge of tears as she scrawls "I HATE THIS" on a piece of paper.
No, a lecture on proper use of a humidifier doesn't scream rock-and-roll. But it's an intriguing look at all the little details of celebrity, and the show is more interesting for including such scenes.
To make sure you aren't labeled as an annoying overachiever, it's important to develop a distinct public image. And for a reality show, it's better if that image is "a crazy person."
There's a fascinating dichotomy between both stars' skill sets and public images. Both are remarkably talented in areas that require a lot of work, but both find plenty of time to act rather strangely.
For Ke$ha, that means the aforementioned use of sparkles and absurd animal costumes, chugging bottles of alcohol and having a much-discussed fixation on men with beards. "I want to find a man with a big beard who isn't intimidated by my fierceness," she proclaims.
Hobbies? Those appear to include some light stalking, specifically of her ex-boyfriend. She drags her friends into an adventure that includes driving past his house and scouring the neighborhood for clues about how he's faring living with a new girl. "I'm going to literally throw up on myself," she says, crouching down in a car.
Lochte, meanwhile, indulges in plenty of bro-time with his "Lochterage," a circle of friends whose only job is to "turn it up, all the time." Surrounded by this Lochterage, Lochte also wears a shirt with hashtag #LoctheNation as the gang gathers to play some flag football.
"Being Ryan Lochte is . . . fun," he says. He even gives a long, detailed description of how he came up with his catchphrase "Jeah!" (Spoiler alert: It's like the word "Yeah," only with a "J.")
Such spectacles, which show the subjects apparently completely removed from reality, may not make them seem like the most responsible people in charge of their personal brands. Still, it does make for somewhat entertaining train-wreck TV.
You must have a family element in your reality show to prove you are a real human.
At concerts, Ke$ha is usually slathered in neon body paint. At home, she's just a regular 26-year-old in sweat pants.
And much of her show is a family affair. Brother Lagan produces the docu-series. Her mother, Pebe Sebert (a singer-songwriter herself), appears in several scenes, starting to sob as her daughter gets on a tour bus.
Crying, proud mom equals TV gold.
The Lochte family storms to the front and center of "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" In addition to 28-year-old Lochte living with his younger brother, we see several Lochte family outings with his mom and sisters: bowling, movie night, dinner. These activities may seem contrived, but the arguing is all too real, especially about Lochte's dating life.
The relationship between Lochte and his mom is rather adorable. In the second episode, they travel to Washington for a charity event. After some mother-son bonding and a tour of the monuments, Lochte surprises his mom with a brand-new car as a thank-you for always selflessly supporting him. Naturally, she starts to weep with joy.
Write it down: Crying, proud moms equal TV gold.
Address how the media portrays you, be it tongue-in-cheek or in a fit of tearful rage.
There are two words for how the media sees Ryan Lochte: "Sex idiot." That's a direct title from "30 Rock," in which Lochte guest-starred as a handsome, dim man who was used by women only for one specific reason. No one seemed to think this characterization was a stretch for Lochte to play.
Lochte doesn't seem to mind this label. During his trip to Washington, there's a particularly painful, obviously staged scene filmed at a restaurant in which a group of women grill him about politics, throwing around words like "Obamacare" and "legislation." His eyes glaze over. "D.C. girls are straight to the point," he says. "Politics, politics, politics, and more politics."
Ke$ha, on the other hand, describes media coverage of her career with a healthy dose of anger, particularly aimed at celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
"I was bullied in high school, sure, but that's nothing on the kind of abuse I've taken from a particular blogger," she seethes, as nasty headlines from Hilton's website fly across the screen. "He single-handedly ruined the only relationship that ever meant anything to me."
Ke$ha's anger is more riveting than Lochte's cool-tempered approach, but both offer a curious look at what it's like to be chronicled by strangers every day.
You must make yourself as interesting as possible. But at the same time, you must seem like a cool, down-to-earth person overall.
Ke$ha talks about calling up her best friend when she needs cheering up. Lochte pranks his younger brother. Are stars really just like us?
Probably not. Yet the key to succeeding (as a long-term celebrity, anyway) is to have a camera crew follow you around and try to convince the world that that's the case.

*1/2 (out of four)
Somehow Hal Jordan (Ryan "Sexiest Man Alive" Reynolds) has become a renowned fighter pilot despite being a habitual quitter or something—the movie doesn't show him quitting but does say fear once caused him to break things off with Carol (Blake "Also Quite Sexy" Lively), which was clearly a major fail. Sorry, Hal, when a mystical ring chooses you to join the intergalactic tribe of green lanterns that patrol the universe for evil, you've got added responsibility whether you like it or not.
Um: Never is it fully clear why the thousands of other (non-human) lanterns don't help out, especially Hal's primary outer-space contact Sinestro (Mark Strong, who can check off "purple vampire-looking thingy" from his attempts to play characters of different ethnicities in almost every movie). Also unclear: Why this DC comics hero deserved a feature film when director Martin Campbell ("Casino Royale") constantly falls back on redundant lectures about will vs. fear but never shows why we should care about the primary villain, a smoky, growly, skeletonish beast called the Parallax.
The verdict: A few questions the movie can't answer: Since when is green the official color of will and not indicative of, say, jealousy or envy? Why does Hector (Peter Sarsgaard), who already looked like young Albert Einstein, transform into what looks like inflated David Crosby when he turns evil? Why doesn't Hal have any temptation to abuse his powers, and if he can conjure anything he wants, why doesn't he just imagine the Parallax Killer 5000? Reynolds underplays Hal and zaps the energy from a movie that wastes everyone involved (including Angela Bassett and Tim Robbins in meaningless roles) and combines the look of a cheesy B-movie and a modern video game, if neither were any fun. Watch out, every other comic book movie on the way this summer; the senseless, stunningly boring "Green Lantern" will give the world a bad case of superhero burnout.
Did you know? When someone tells Hal to watch his back, he replies that that's not possible. And who doesn't love a dude who arrogantly corrects other people's sentence structure.

Thieves Across Country Stealing SUV Seats
(NEW YORK) -- Thieves across the country are in many cases not targeting expensive SUVs parked in driveways and parking lots. Instead, they are stealing the third row of seats from the vehicles for up to a $1,000 profit.
Ivan Barahona, an SUV owner, parked his vehicle in his Dallas driveway, and made sure nothing valuable was inside and locked it up. But a trio still broke into the back, and within seconds, removed part of the seats. Within 40 seconds, the entire back row in the vehicle was gone.
"It feels really bad because people work really hard for what they have," Barahona said.
Police say so-called "third seat theft" is on the rise, particularly in Texas and California.
Replacement seats are in demand by SUV owners whose row of seats has been damaged or worn out. Detectives say the crooks can get about $1,000 for the seats on sites like Craigslist or in a salvage yard -- a sizable payoff for 40 seconds of work.
Police often recover the stolen seats but have no way of reuniting them with their rightful owner, which is why Los Angeles police are encouraging owners to engrave their SUV's vehicle identification number onto the bottom of those seats.
"It's something that's very simple. With a little bit of time and effort people can protect themselves," Det. Mike Ventura with the Los Angeles Police Department said.
Even something as inexpensive as a bike lock will slow crooks down. Locking up seats is a good investment, because replacing a stolen third seat at the dealership can cost up to $4,000.

The manor of Eaglesham became the Clan seat of the family for many centuries. Looking further back, we found Roger de Montgomery (died 1093?), who came from the Castle of Sainte Foi de Montgomery, in Lissieux, Normandy, arrived in England with William the Conqueror.
Soon after the Battle of Hastings, Roger was granted lands on the Welsh Border in the County which later took his name, Montgomeryshire. However, Roger's grandson, Robert de Montgomery went to Scotland with Walter FizAlan, also of the Welsh border country, who became high Steward of Scotland and some claim the progenitor of the great Stewart Clan.
Although Normandy has so far been established as the origin of this family, a family legend related in a poem places their origin earlier, perhaps, even to Roman times: "A noble Roman was the Root, from which Montgomeries came, Who brought his legions from the war, and settled the same. Upon a hill twixt Rome and Spain. Gomericus by name; From which he and his offspring do their sire name still retain."

What we know about the upcoming Cadillac CTS-V is that it will have a supercharged (likely utilizing the Eaton R1740 TVS blower) 6.2 liter direct injected V8 powerplant. This will be based on the engine in the upcoming C7 Z06 called the LT4. The main question mark is whether the engine for the CTS-V will again be detuned with the CTS-V getting the LSA V8 instead of the C6 ZR-1's LS9 the last time around.
With how fast all of the twin turbo V8 sedans out of Germany are Cadillac needs to bring the heat. The car will likely share the upcoming GM 8L90 8-speed automatic going into the Z06 which GM claims shifts faster than the Porsche PDK transmission. That is a very bold claim and yet to be substantiated but if the gearbox does beat the Porsche PDK gearbox in shift speed and it also matches the stated of goal of 738 pound-feet of torque capacity then a tune and pulley CTS-V will likely eat up a tune only M5, E63, Panamera, RS7, etc.
Considering the current CTS-V makes 556 horsepower a 50 horse boost at minimum seems within reason. 600 horsepower and roughly 600 pound-feet of torque with the power being routed to the rear wheels and shift speeds that do not give up much to a dual clutch transmission should make the last entry into the next generation luxury mid-size performance sedan battle the strongest. It is not like Cadillac is testing with an F10 M5 to make the CTS-V slower than it.
Enjoy the photos below. It sure looks mean as hell:

That's a great point about the CommTech Reader. Way ahead of its time and shy of the mark of real interactivity. If they had integrated that technology into the vehicles/playsets, or beyond to any kind of gaming, then maybe. But that was 15 years ago (!!!). The more I think about it, it's the toy industry in general, rather than any particular brand, that is suffering right now.
I've noticed that we've been able to find everything at retail (usually several times) - things are restocked consistently. Plus, there is a nice variety to the line. Sure, there are multiple versions of the Turtles, but she has at least a dozen villains/supporting characters as well in the first year+ of the line.
Actually, 6" prices are going to go up a couple dollars in the next waves.
Quote from: P-Siddy on July 24, 2014, 08:48 PMActually, 6" prices are going to go up a couple dollars in the next waves.Someone else said that recently... did I miss a memo? Why does everyone think the price is going up?
Bigger does seem to be perceived as "better" for collector-oriented toys though right now, and for the most part they're right. If you read the article yesterday we posted a link to on the front page, regarding Jabba The Hutt's 6" figure creation process, Hasbro was very pro 6", and had a stance that what they do in 6" can't be done in 4".

INNIT is written by and stars Colette Forde, begins July 6; Opens July 12, 2018.
Meet Kelly Roberts as she visits a psychologist. She's bold, vulgar…and broken. You'll laugh blindly to heartfelt tears! Powerful, sell-out one-woman show Innit, set during working class, 90's Manchester, demonstrates the teenage angst and wilted heart of the outrageous, guffaw-inducing Kelly Roberts. Witness her first ever visit to a psychologist as she unwittingly discloses her hilarious and heart-breaking story, leaving a mark on those who remember those isolating teenage year.
COLETTE FORDE (playwright) was born in Dublin, February 1983 but moved to Manchester later that same year. She started acting at the age of 6 up to the age of 19 and then took a break to be a lead vocalist and dancer in the U.K. Taking an unexpected turn 10 years later, Colette qualified Support Teaching and Learning Assistant, working in a one-to-one capacity with children of additional needs and supporting lower ability groups in various schools.Colette is now a well-established professional actress and singer/songwriter in Cork City since her return to Ireland. Her collaboration on Funky Love won an Honorable Mention in an American Songwriting Competition in 2010 and she has just recently become a published songwriter. Colette has been active in both fields for the last 15 years and her performances in short films were critically acclaimed ('Ted' in 2016's Cork Indie Film Festival) and she also won a special mention for her performance in (Dublin's Elevation Indie Film Festival,2017 ) Spotlight Award Winner: 'Hush Clowns' for her and the casts' "Excellent performances." Colette has been writing since 2014 and in 2017 her self-penned One Woman performance of 'innit' (also a mockumentary film), sold out, garnering rave reviews on its first run. Colette is going back to college in September to study 'Youth and Community Work' to develop 'Teen Speak', as well as writing another One Woman Show, a film, and touring 'innit'.

I want to reiterate a few points before the download:
1. My plans are not meant to be completed in any specific order. Each day is different and Structured Play time should be a fun learning experience. Pick an activity or activities that fit the mood of your child for that day.
2. Practice activities more than once because repetition is key to gaining new skills.
3. READ, READ, READ- Read everyday and reread stories to allows your child to 'read' the books themselves. This is the first step in literacy.
4. Walk Away- Try to keep Structured Play time FUN. If things get frustrating to you or your child, walk away and pick up where you left off the next day. Remember it is Structured PLAY, you are not preparing for SAT Exams. Enjoy every minute!

Bum. No movies here. Respawn?
Please note that you're looking around a static dataset. As much as we would love to show all the movies in Netflix ever, there's no way for us to do it. This is sorta kinda more about finding fun genres anyway. Ciao!

In his first game in 1963 with the San Diego Chargers, Walt Sweeney established a pattern that would mark his 13 seasons as a star in professional football.
Even though it was only an exhibition, Sweeney played with a fearsome aggressiveness. As a special teams player, he raced down the field ahead of the veterans, making several tackles over the course of the game and becoming a fan favorite as the Chargers beat the Oakland Raiders.
But there was something the fans did not know: Sweeney, then a 22-year-old first-round draft choice from Syracuse University, was so high on speed that his heart would not stop pounding after the game.

Some of you may have noticed a new hash tag popping up in healthcare's tweet stream – #HITChicks was coined earlier this summer by Julie Moffitt, Regional Affairs Coordinator at HIMSS and @HIEChick on Twitter. To me, it was a fun and playful way of bringing together women who actively tweet about various aspects of healthcare.
Men, or #HITDudes, if you will, also joined the conversation:
And let's not forget:
The article that Michael Gaspar references above, "Healthcare Lacks Female Execs," pulls stats from a RockHealth report (whose founder, by the way, is a woman), which relates that women account for 73 percent of medical and health services managers, but only 4 percent of healthcare organization CEOs and 18 percent of hospital CEOs. According to the 100 women surveyed for the report, we lack enough self-confidence and simply don't have enough time to take on executive roles.
Is self-confidence really that much of an issue that it would prevent a woman from taking on a leadership position? I find that particular statistic very surprising, especially considering the number of female healthcare executives in my home state of Georgia – Donna Hyland of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Dee Cantrell of Emory Healthcare, Gretchen Tegethoff of Athens Regional Medical Center, Deborah Cancilla of Grady Health System, Carol Burrell of Northeast Georgia Health System …. We certainly aren't experiencing a dearth down here.
Of course, anytime you have an article (or a hash tag) that differentiates women from men, you have to consider whether you're promoting a "problem" that doesn't really exist anymore. Do we really even need to make distinctions between male and female when it comes to climbing the corporate ladder? Do we owe it to young women to ensure that they have proper role models to look up to – and do those role models have to be the same gender?
It's a loaded question that I'll put to you, dear readers. Should we continue to point out the differences between men and women in healthcare leadership positions? Why or why not? Please discuss amongst yourselves in the comments section below.

While it is well known that microangiopathy is the cause of renal damage, blindness and heart attacks in patients with diabetes, this is the first time that a reduction of the smallest blood vessels has been shown in bone marrow, the tissue contained inside the bones and the main source of stem cells.
These precious cells not only replace old blood cells but also exert an important reparative function after acute injuries and heart attacks. The starvation of bone marrow as a consequence of microangiopathy can lead to a less efficient healing in diabetic patients. Also, stem cells from a patient's bone marrow are the most used in regenerative medicine trials to mend hearts damaged by heart attacks. Results from this study highlight an important deficit in stem cells and supporting microenvironment that can reduce stem cells' therapeutic potential in diabetic patients.
The research team, led by Professor Paolo Madeddu, Chair of Experimental Cardiovascular Medicine in the School of Clinical Sciences and Bristol Heart Institute at the University of Bristol, investigated the effect of diabetes on bone marrow stem cells and the nurturing of small blood vessels in humans.
The new study, published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation Research, was funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF).
The researchers have shown a profound remodelling of the marrow, which shows shortage of stem cells and surrounding vessels mainly replaced by fat, especially in patients with a critical lack of blood supply to a tissue (ischaemia). This means that, as peripheral vascular complications progress, more damage occurs in the marrow. In a vicious cycle, depletion of bone marrow stem cells worsens the consequences of peripheral ischaemia.
Investigation of underpinning mechanisms revealed that exposure of bone marrow stem cells to the high glucose level typical of diabetes mellitus impacts on "microRNAs", which are tiny RNA molecules controlling gene expression and hence biological functions. In particular, microRNA-155, that normally controls the production of stem cells, becomes dramatically reduced in bone marrow cells exposed to high glucose. Diabetes-induced deficits are corrected by reintroducing microRNA-155 in human stem cells. The authors foresee that microRNAs could be used to regain proper stem cells number in diabetes and fix stem cells before reintroduction into a patient's body.
Professor Paolo Madeddu said: "Our study draws attention to the bone marrow as a primary target of diabetes-induced damage. The research suggests that the severity of systemic vascular disease has an impact on bone marrow causing a precocious senescence of stem cells. More severe bone marrow pathologies can cause, or contribute to, cardiovascular disease and lead to worse outcomes after a heart attack, through the shortage of vascular regenerative cells. Clinical evidence indicates that achieving a good control of glucose levels is fundamental to prevent vascular complications, but is less effective in correcting microangiopathy. We need to work hard to find new therapies for mending damaged microvessels."
Professor Costanza Emanueli, Chair of Vascular Pathology and Regeneration at the University of Bristol and co-author of the paper, added: "MicroRNAs represent an attractive means to repair the marrow damage and generate "better" stem cells for regenerative medicine applications. We are working at protocols using microRNA targeting for enhancing the therapeutic potential of stem cells before their transplantation to cure heart and limb ischaemia, which are often associated with diabetes mellitus. More work is, however, necessary before using this strategy in patients."
The findings advance the current understanding of pathological mechanisms leading to collapse of the vascular niche and reduced availability of regenerative cells. The data provides a key for interpretation of diabetes-associated defect in stem cell mobilisation following a heart attack. In addition, the research reveals a new molecular mechanism that could in the future become the target of specific treatments to alleviate vascular complications in patients with diabetes.
Professor Jeremy Pearson, Associate Medical Director at the BHF said: "Professor Madeddu and his team have shown for the first time that the bone marrow in patients with diabetes can't release stem cells which are important for the repair of blood vessel damage commonly found in people with the disease.
"If we could restore the ability of the marrow to release stem cells there is potential to reduce the effects of diabetes, and prevent the devastating consequences of the condition such as blindness and amputation. Understanding more about injured blood vessel repair will also aid in the fight to mend hearts damaged after a heart attack, a vital research area we fund through our Mending Broken Hearts Appeal.'

SKF to show superior sealing solution for wind turbines at Wind Energy 2014 Hamburg
2014 September 23, 14:00 CEST
SKF will showcase its HSS reinforced, all-rubber seals, which offer increased reliability and productivity for wind turbines, at Wind Energy 2014 Hamburg.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 23 September 2014 The innovative range of reinforced HSS seals were specially developed by SKF to protect large size bearings that function under tough operating conditions, such as those experienced within wind turbines. Featuring a proven sealing lip design and a new concept of reinforcement, the HSS seals offer high stability. As they are all-rubber, the seals also provide the additional benefits of being able to accommodate imperfections in the housing bore.
SKF's HSS seals are available in the company's ozone radiation resistant material grade - SKF Duratemp (HNBR). This has been successfully used by the wind energy industry and has been developed further to ensure optimum performance in the most demanding of applications. The standard grade of this high-performance material is used for the sealing lip, while the part of the seal body that is in contact with the housing bore is made from a harder grade. This provides improved stability in operation and during the installation process. This concept of reinforcing the seals allows for both solid and split designs, which facilitates easy and quick installation and replacement. The smooth outside diameter provides excellent static sealing and there is no risk of dimensional changes to the seals when exposed to moisture.
"Seals are often perceived as commodity items. In reality, they are essential system components that help to ensure bearing and system performance, reliability and efficiency. The ease at which the HSS seals can be exchanged and installed is a major advantage to the wind industry, particularly as working space in the up-tower in the nacelle is usually limited", says Maria Conception Martin, SKF Global Product Manager of Wind Industry Seals.
SKF has introduced a flexible manufacturing process for the HSS seals. This enables the seals to be easily customized to effectively match specific shaft and seal housing dimensions without customers experiencing additional costs or extended delivery time.
Wind Energy 2014 Hamburg, one of the world's foremost events for the exhibition of innovative and advanced equipment for the wind energy industry, takes place between September 23-26, 2014 at Congress Center Hamburg, Hamburg – Germany. Visitors to the event will find SKF and information on the new HSS seals at Stand B6/374.

Working with family historians/genealogists daily, I see the same questions being asked on a regular basis. I often wonder what has led this or that person to researching their ancestry.
No prizes for answering the questions below… but it could be of interest to all of us who help others on a regular basis.
You may answer on your own blog, in the comments section below or on Facebook which will have a link to this blog.
Please let me know if you answer on your own blog, so I can keep a list for others to follow… no time limit…
- What is the most important detail you want to find about your ancestors?First the basic facts and then the background to their lives to build up a rounded image of them.
- Do you buy certificates?Fortunately a lot were already with the family, but in my early days of research I bought birth and marriage certificates to confirm details and advance my research back a generation.
- Do you belong to a paid subscription site, if so, which one?"Ancestry UK", "Genes Reunited" and "Lost Cousins", plus "Find My Past" and "Scotland's People" (pay as you go). Like to many other bloggers, I have reservations on the Ancestry family trees, the mistakes than get perpetuated and the photographs that get lifted without a courtesy request first.
- What has been your 'best' find?
Where to start! Discovering my G. Grandmother's eventful past; renewing contact with my mother's cousins and seeing the first and only photograph of my G. Grandfather; my blog resulting in contact from newly discovered third cousins (one in USA); discovering wills of my GGG and GGGG grandfathers in Lancashire Archives; discovering through the local historical society the earliest photograph I have of my father in the school football team. I could go on and on.....
- Who is your favourite ancestor and why?It has to be my great grandmother Maria Danson, nee Rawcliffe. It was her photograph that started me off on the family history trail - one of eight sisters, she went on to have ten sons and one daughter and is the source of many of my early blog postings, Then there was the discovery that she as born on the same date as my daughter - 114 years apart, which seemed a wonderful coincidence.
- What are you looking for on a regular basis?
Easy to answer - the birth certificate of my maternal grandmother. Alice Danson, nee English, who died when I was a baby. . Her marriage certificate and death certificate confirm her birth year as 1884 and I was always told we shared the same birthday. I have her father's name but am no nearer finding out her mother's name, despite lots of different efforts, including using a professional researcher.
- Do you belong to any genealogy group, or family history society?Lancashire Family History Society for my own ancestral interest. I live in he Scottish Borders and joined the local FH society to meet like minded enthusiasts and improve my own knowledge of FH research and resources.
8. Do you belong to any Facebook or other social media genealogy groups? Would you join if there was one available?
I am not a Facebook enthusiast and have never gone down the road of Twitter. Perhaps I am missing out here. www.geneabloggers.com remains my main network site.
9. Have you ever volunteered to transcribe, index etc.? Would you be interested in doing so?I have indexed the magazines of a local historical society. Poor eyesight is a barrier to me doing transcriptions as I do not find old hand writing easy to decipher.
10. What is your personal reason for being involved with genealogy/family history?From primary school days I have had an interest in history and how people lived in the past. Seeing the collection of old photographs (see below) in my grandfather's house was the prompt to finding out more about my ancestors. I also wanted to write about them so there was a record for my own family. To a large extent writing has taken over from researching, though I love the detective story element in hunting for facts and corroborating them with evidence. Now I am concentrating on writing FH narratives to depict this ancestral trail and feature the documents & photographs I have collected over the years. My blog, begun three years ago, was an opportunity to develop my writing skills further - and I have never looked back. The support and comments from fellow bloggers and"online" friends has been invaluable - I would not want to be without it!
|My great grandmother Maria Danson, nee Rawcliffe with her
granddaughter Annie Maria Danson
| The only photograph I have of my great grandfather James Danson
sitting merrily in the stocks at Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire .
| My aunt Edith and my mother Kathleen Danson are the little girls

Fewer US school districts promote junk food, soda (Update)
There's been a big shift in how many U.S. school districts take money from soda companies and ban junk food from vending machines, health officials say.
A government survey found 44 percent of school districts banned junk food from vending machines last year, up from 30 percent in 2006.
It also found drops in how many districts took a cut of soft drink sales, received donations from soda companies, or allowed soda company advertising.
Those are considered positive steps in helping the U.S. reduce the number of children who are overweight and obese.
But it's not clear to how much impact the changes are having. The overall proportion of U.S. children who are overweight or obese has been holding steady at around 17 percent, according to government statistics.
Experts say that diet and exercise at home are at least as important as what kids are exposed to in school.
"There are lots and lots of factors that go into obesity rates," said Nancy Brener, lead author of the government report on the study. She is a health scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The findings come from a detailed government survey last year of more than 800 U.S. school districts. The CDC does the study every six years.
The CDC released the latest findings Monday.

I happened upon La Tortilla Factory's Dark Teff Tortillas today at my local health food store. I had some leftover grilled chicken that I had been planning to put on top of a salad for lunch, but thought that a wrap sounded much better. I got home and made a fabulous wrap from these tortillas. First, the feel & texture of these tortillas is the closest thing to what a "normal" flour tortilla feels like. I haven't felt that since before I went GF over 3 years ago. I had high hopes for this baby. I heated it, as directed on the package, for 15 seconds in the microwave. I then made my wrap with a bunch of fresh spinach, cut up grilled chicken breast, provolone cheese, tomato & Frank's Red Hot. I wrapped it up (IT DIDN'T CRACK OR CRUMBLE!) and sliced in half. I was amazed. I was so stinkin' excited that I didn't get a picture, I sat down to taste my new love. WOW! I was so, so, so pleasantly surprised! I honestly can't really tell you that this tastes much different from what I remember a "normal" flour tortilla tasting like. The tortilla remained the same texture the entire time I was eating (about 30 minutes….it didn't get hard or stale-like after heating). If you have heated a brown rice tortilla and then made a wrap before, you know what I mean about the texture changing. These were so pliable! I could gush about these for hours! I have all kinds of things planned for these. Tomorrow? Another wrap, but this one on the panini press. 🙂 Then, burritos and maybe chimichangas or chicken enchiladas! Yes, I like corn tortillas, a lot, but there is just something about a good flour tortilla.
Now the details…kinda pricey. $4.31 for 6. OUCH! So, you can see why these may not be a regular purchase. Facts:
Made with Whole Grain Dark Teff & Whole Grain Millet Flour (15 grams of whole grain per wrap!)
Zero grams Trans Fats.
Non-Aluminum Baking Powder
Non-Dairy Ingredients
Smooth light texture
Hint of real honey. No artificial sweeteners
Wrap Size : 9.00" to 10.00"
Calories: 180
Fiber: 3 grams
Fat: 5 grams
Definitely want to try the Ivory Teff ones too. These were awesome & I can't wait to make another wrap tomorrow!

Printing Terms and Jargon
A basic understanding of some of the terms used in the printing industry can help you achieve better results. Here are some of the most commonly used printing terms.
Alteration: Any change made after artwork or copy has been given to the printer.
Anti¯Aliasing: A process of reducing or removing jagged distortions in curves and diagonal lines. It makes lines appear smoother.
Artwork: Copy prepared for print reproduction.
Bind: To secure leaves or sections into a book.
Bleed: A bleed is an extension of a print image beyond the edge you expect to see. When the page is trimmed, the colour or printed image goes to the edge of the page.
Bond Paper: Paper usually 70 ¯ 10gsm suitable for printing.
Chokes: Where darker coloured areas are printed to overlap very slightly into lighter colour areas so that there are no white gaps.
CMYK: This stands for (C) Cyan, (M) Magenta, (Y) Yellow, and (K) Black. All other printing colours are made from these four.
Copy: Text or images prepared for printing.
Crop: Cutting part of an image to remove parts of it you don¯t need. Cropping also lets you cut an image to a certain size.
Crop Marks: Narrow lines at the corners of a proof that show you where the page will be cut.
Die Cut: Die cutting lets you cut paper into unique shapes and sizes.
Digital printing: Printing technology that (with linking of printing devices to computers) results in faster turnaround times, lowered setup costs, and the ability to personalise documents easily. It is very useful for short print runs.
DPI (dots per inch): DPI or resolution refers to the sharpness of your design. It is the unit of measurement used to describe how clearly a printed output will appear.
DoubleSided or Duplex Printing: Printing on both sides of a single page.
EPS (Encapsulated PostScript): A file format developed by Adobe Systems. It can contain vector or bitmap art, or both. EPS can be used for commercial printing and can contain any colour mode.
GIF: (Graphic Interchange format): GIF images display up to 256 colours and usually have very small file sizes. They are the most widely used graphic format on the web. GIF files are unsuitable for professional printing.
Greyscale Mode: A file format containing up to 256 shades of gray but no colour. Greyscale can be used for onscreen and commercial printing applications.

DOWNLOAD: New Love Grows On Trees
If you had told me I would ever drop a Pete Doherty song on The List, I probably would have slapped you just on principal…I mean, the guy has turned himself into a tabloid joke and trashed what was not only a great music career but a lucrative and marketable music commodity by not knowing when to put down the damned crack pipe. That said, the junkie can still crank out a damned nice song when he puts his mind to it! He locked himself in the studio with legendary producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, Kaiser Chiefs, The Cranberries) and the result is Grace / Wastelands , due out March 24th. And damn…wouldn't ya know it…Pete's got a MySpace page where you can stream a few more cuts off of the album!

The Back to Pelosi Budget
Soaring tax revenues will hit 18.3% of GDP in fiscal 2015.
President Obama released his 2015 budget proposal on Tuesday, and the best way to understand it is as a campaign-strategy memo to return Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. After the rude four-year interruption of a GOP House, Mr. Obama is revving up the tax and spend engines to turn out Democrats this fall and change the debate away from ObamaCare.
One of the President's more amusing fiscal sleights-of-hand is his claim that the federal government has been enduring "austerity." Taxpayers should be so lucky. The...

Colorado freshman receiver Peyton Williams likely grayshirt, Embree says
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIF. — Although 2012 signee Peyton Williams was listed on the Colorado roster distributed this week at the Pac-12 football media day, chances are the wide receiver from metro Dallas will not play for the Buffaloes until 2013, CU coach Jon Embree said.
Williams, 6-feet-1 and 190 pounds, caught 92 pases for 1.196 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior for prep power Southlake Carroll. But he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Carroll's state semifinal game and required reconstructive surgery.
Embree has said that Williams is a likely candidate to "grayshirt" and thus delay his enrollment until next spring in order to preserve a year of eligibility.
Reporters wondered if that had changed, considering Williams' name was included this week in the pre-camp roster.
"We'll know in August," Embree said of Williams' status for 2012. "We're going to see where (his rehabilitation) is and make that determination.
"It's looking more like that (he will grayshirt). … If it looks like he's going to have to continue to rehab and do other things before he's able to start football activities and it (would take) into early October, then we're just going to grayshirt him rather than waste his year."

The U.S. Postal Service will end a same-day delivery experiment in San Francisco by March 1 after it couldn't find enough retailers to participate and got only $760 in revenue, the agency's inspector general said.
Only 95 packages were sent by six participating retailers over a five-month period, far fewer than the 200-a-day target, the Office of Inspector General said in Feb. 5 report made public Friday. While saying the agency didn't implement the program properly, the report faulted the inability to get large retailers to take part in the program.
"The Postal Service was left with small local retailers that could not produce the target daily package volume," the report said.
The Postal Service started the program, which it has since introduced in New York, to help it compete with FedEx. and United Parcel Service for delivery business with online retailers. The service has been looking for ways to compensate for a steady decrease in the volume of first-class letter mail, its most profitable operation.
The plan was for customers to order products online or via smartphone by 2 p.m. and then get the delivery before 8 p.m.
Success depended on reaching agreements with six large retailers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Instead, only one signed on and later withdrew due to other "operational priorities," according to the report.
The Postal Service is getting more cooperation from large retailers for its pilot program in New York, according to the report.
It wasn't the most-expensive idea: the Postal Service incurred costs of $10,288, for a net loss of $9,528. Earlier Friday, the agency reported a first fiscal quarter loss of $354 million. It's lost money in 19 of the past 21 quarters.

AMAG Interns' Nets Rewards
"Our primary goal is to make sure these children and teens gain the necessary experience in whichever field they choose to pursue later in life." states Lisbon
On February 10th, a group of very excited kids got to attend the New Jersey Nets vs. Orlando Magic game at the Continental Airlines Arena in New Jersey, courtesy of the New Jersey Nets Student Rewards Program.
When James Lisbon, Founder of AMAG, gathered six neighborhood teens to help out with Awareness Magazine two years ago, few would have thought the program would have gained such momentum so rapidly. As this year begins, the interns have already been given their schedule for the first quarter of the year. One of the key ingredients of the program is to put the youth in areas where their personal aspirations can be filled. "Our primary goal is to make sure these children and teens gain the necessary experience in whichever field they choose to pursue later in life." states Lisbon . "Our commitment to inspire has shifted slightly so that we not only inspire those who are actively pursuing their goal (s), but also to include our youth who are the future."
Besides working with the publication, the youth, who are primarily high school students, enjoy sports outings, museum visits and festival participation. Janella Meeks, Community Relations Manager of the New Jersey Nets [ who provide schools and other organizations complimentary tickets to New Jersey Nets basketball games] said "The Student Rewards program gives us the opportunity to reward students who persevere academically and athletically and make a difference in their communities. Young people should strive to succeed and the Nets are proud to recognize students who are doing just that."
The AMAG Intern Program continues to grow and seek youth who are seriously interested in learning about publishing, media and marketing. On February 15th, 2007, Lisbon gave the keynote address on entrepreneurship and invited youth to join the Yes I Can 7 Week Financial Literacy Program sponsored by ASAP (Association for the Social Advancement of People). Speaking before 25 foster care youth, Lisbon drove home the point of working hard and doing research to reach any future goal and stressing the importance of taking action on that goal by moving forward, no matter how small the movement may appear. Brikener Jean Gilles, ASAP's Chief Operation Officer stated, "Mr. Lisbon is an inspirational and motivational visionary with a bright future ahead of him. His patience with the youth is admirable."
The next stop for the interns is The Schomburgh Center For Research (located in Harlem, NYC) mid-March. Lisbon believes hard work, education and recreation is essential for development.
James Lisbon is also the co-founder Teen Awareness Day .Visit AMAG today for detailed information at www.awarenessmagazine.net , www.awarenessmagazine.net/interns , www.awarenessmagazine.net/slide
The AMAG Intern Program was launched in June 2005 to provide an instructive, fun and insightful environment during the summer months. The program has met with great success and as a result, continues as a year-long program, enlisting primarily high school students with an interest in publishing and journalism. All interns learn valuable lessons by experiencing what goes on behind the scenes of a publication -- ranging from layout to final product. Interns are partially responsible for reporting and interviewing, proofreading, conducting surveys, layout, photography, flyer distribution, web searches, mailings, marketing concepts, distribution, cold calling and follow up phone calling, assisting at local festivals, youth and senior functions. The Program is primarily funded by Authors Helping Youth , whose book donations generate sales to further fund the program.

#1 Despotism Breeds Federal Paranoia09-27-2011, 09:59 PMBy Hugh de Payns
Any environment where secrecy and social and political control are the operating parameters can breed paranoia. Mere intellectual curiosity can be seen dangerous and treasonous. It does not have to be the extreme behavior of the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia or the angry jealousy of Soviet Russia.
During the summer of 2009, we saw this with the White House healthcare "snitch site" (email@example.com) where citizens were encouraged to turn in information -- or people -- who were reporting "lies" about ObamaCare. Eventually -- largely due to public outcry and immense amount of deliberately false and frankly riotous commentary rammed into the site -- it was pulled down. To date there is not a general feeling of comfort about what the government has done with the data that was presented to them.
Not learning from their earlier mistake, recently Team Obama launched attackwatch.com. If you follow the link, you will notice the address is "my.barackobama.com." How touching, how personal, and how very, very creepy. It quickly became a laughingstock, derided even by the Washington Post. So far the result seems to be more embarrassing exposure, leading to a truck load of deliberately false information being sent into the site. I have reported several attacks, mostly involving rumors being spread by animals during a trip to the zoo. Strangely, each time I report a rumor, I get directed to a donation screen and a paid for by Obama for America logo. It seems that they value the information a whole lot less than my money, which I will not give up freely.
Such Orwellian conduct has now reached the Federal Reserve. This past weekend, Zerohedge.com reported that the Fed now wants to get in on the big brother act and listen in on what is being said. Yet, instead of asking for information that might lead them to being labeled as paranoid Nazis, the Federal Reserve will now be casting a large net and actively start trolling for troublemakers. Of course, about 60 minutes spent searching for news and commentary on the Federal Reserve would also be effective, but apparently The Bernank is just too lazy or too busy spending our money to take the time. According to Zerohedge:
"If the Bible is true why don't we have any urns or vessels that like say expires 6/15/300 BC on the bottom?"

Ozuna needs write-in support for All-Star bid
MIAMI -- Since joining the Marlins on April 30, Marcell Ozuna has provided the club with energy and enthusiasm.
The 22-year-old has played solidly in the outfield, sporting one of the strongest arms in the National League. Even though he has been in a recent slump, Ozuna still is productive, batting .296 with 17 RBIs entering Sunday's play while hitting mainly out of the cleanup spot.
MIAMI -- Since joining the Marlins on April 30, Marcell Ozuna has provided the club with energy and enthusiasm.
The 22-year-old has played solidly in the outfield, sporting one of the strongest arms in the National League. Even though he has been in a recent slump, Ozuna still is productive, batting .296 with 17 RBIs entering Sunday's play while hitting mainly out of the cleanup spot.
Ozuna is establishing himself as a solid everyday player. He's also making a case to be one of the Marlins' representatives in the All-Star Game.
"He's added energy to our lineup," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "He's been a great surprise."
Because he was called up a month into the season, his name isn't on the NL ballot. But fans can still add Ozuna as a write-in candidate.
Fan voting for the All-Star Game is ongoing, but in a disappointing season, no Marlins position players rank among the vote leaders at any position.
Giancarlo Stanton was the Marlins' lone All-Star in 2012, but he missed roughly five weeks due to a right hamstring strain. Since returning on June 10, Stanton has been heating up the plate.
All-Star voting is well underway at Marlins Park, and fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or via a mobile device -- using the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot until Thursday, July 4, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Fans may submit 25 online ballots during the voting period but can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, fans must be logged into an MLB.com account when submitting any online ballot. To obtain an MLB.com account, visit www.mlb.com and register in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.
Fans can also once again participate in the Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league whom they would most like to see participate in the Home Run Derby. The 2013 Home Run Derby -- part of Gatorade All-Star Workout Day -- will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 15.
Though originally scheduled for July 7, the 2013 rosters will now be unveiled Saturday, July 6, at 6:30 p.m. ET on the 2013 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show presented by Taco Bell. The show will be televised nationally on FOX.
From Saturday, July 6 to Thursday, July 11, be sure to return to MLB.com and cast your 2013 All-Star Game Final Vote Sponsored by freecreditscore.com for the final player for each League's All-Star roster.
And the voting doesn't end there. The final phase of All-Star Game voting will again have fans participating in the official voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2013 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote, and their voice will represent 20 percent of the official vote determining the recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
The 2013 All-Star Game will be played at Citi Field on Tuesday, July 16. MLB.com will have extensive online coverage of the All-Star Week festivities.
The 84th All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS, and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.
Outfielder Chris Coghlan also is on the ballot, and he's been productive. Since May 1, he is batting .338, and he's hitting .277 on the season. However, Coghlan was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right calf nerve irritation.

Browsing Bild.de can be hazardous to Tango's health
With Windows Phone Tango rolling out it is perhaps not a surprise that some isolated bugs may be discovered along the way. So far, not too many have cropped up but there is one that is interesting though seemingly rare.
Users have found that navigating to the German news site Bild.de on their phone, with "Desktop" enabled can result in the browser locking up the device. The site Bild.de does default to a mobile WAP version and there is a Windows Phone app too but users are free to use their IE9 in desktop mode to view the site "as is".
We've tested the scenario on our Tango phone (Focus 2) and sure enough, upon loading the page the second time it does lock up the device. Since Internet Explorer is a native app, native apps can crash the OS whereas third-party apps should not be able to do so.
- Turn "Desktop" mode on in the browser
- Navigate to Bild.de, it may load just fine
- Navigate to another site then go back to Bild.de
- Browser should crash when loading
The resulting crash means you would have to pull the battery (or hold the power button for 10 seconds) to reboot the phone. We tried this on a Windows Phone Mango device (HTC Titan) and could not replicate the crash. We also had no issues with a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.1 meaning this most certainly seems correlated with Windows Phone "Tango".
Is it a dire bug? Certainly not but it could be used as a browser-exploit by some nefarious people out there, even though that seems remote to us. Still, hopefully Microsoft will see this and patch it up for their next OS build.
Update: To make things even more confusing, it's not all devices. Our Lumia 900 with Tango is okay, but reports at XDA of the Radar, Omnia 7, Lumia 800 and our Focus 2 do have the crash.

Lights out on Broadway ahead of approaching superstorm
Sandbags are lined up in front of No. 2 Broadway in Battery Park in preparation of the superstorm in New York, Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012. (AP / Louis Lanzano)
The Associated Press
Published Monday, October 29, 2012 7:00AM EDT
Last Updated Monday, October 29, 2012 8:49AM EDT
NEW YORK -- Broadway took the threat of the mammoth storm seriously, with theater owners cancelling all Sunday evening and Monday performances of shows like "The Book of Mormon" "Once" and "Mama Mia!" long before a drop of rain fell in Times Square.
"The safety and security of theatregoers and employees is everyone's primary concern," said Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of The Broadway League, which represents producers.
Forecasts called for rain late Sunday or early Monday, and subway and public transportation service is to be halted Sunday evening, potentially stranding theatergoers. Refunds will be made available from the point of purchase.
Off-Broadway shows including "Stomp," "Bad Jews," "Disgraced" and "Golden Child" were also cancelled Sunday night. Most matinees on and off Broadway stayed open. Mondays are usually very light on Broadway, with most shows having that as their day off.
Carnegie Hall canceled two concerts scheduled for Sunday night and rescheduled a Monday concert by "Rent" and "Wicked" star Idina Menzel, which will now take place Nov. 4.
Some Broadway shows had no evening shows scheduled Sunday, including "Cyrano de Bergerac," "Annie," "Chaplin," "Enemy of the People," "Once," "Jersey Boys" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It."
It was the most disruptive storm for the theater community since the threat of Hurricane Irene in late August 2011 prompted producers to cancel matinee and evening performances on Saturday and Sunday. While that hurricane mostly fizzled over New York, every show lost money because they were mostly limited to five or six performances that week.

Subscribe To Vin Diesel Broods On A Throne In Newest Riddick Image Updates
I've already subscribed
The Chronicles of Riddick franchise has a pretty huge fanbase. One so large that a third film in the series, simply titled Riddick, is finally coming to theaters in September after over five years of rumors and script news from director/writer David Twohy.
But is that fan base larger than the throne that Riddick is sitting on below? The film's star Vin Diesel himself posted the picture on his Facebook page on Friday, showing Riddick not kicking a single piece of ass, but rather looking glum and dejected, as if his Furyan high school prom date stood him up. I'm sure it's something much more important, however, like the fate of an entire planet.
Seriously though, I'm not a big fan of either the Riddick films or thrones in general, but this is a ridiculously impressive piece of furniture that could possibly top The Big Lebowski's rug at really tying a room together. If there were ever a perfect place to sit and brood over the huge credit card bill that arrived after a silly and expensive movie merchandise purchase was made, this throne is it.
The photo was accompanied by Diesel's message:
"It has been 9 years since The Chronicles of Riddick was released…all along I knew I would eventually have to return to that dark place, the mind of an Alpha Furyan…"
Riddick finds the lead character left for dead on a planet full of deadly creatures. With no other options, he has to call in the bounty hunters tracking him in order to escape back to his home planet Furya, which is on the verge of destruction.
