Does MythTV work under KDE, but not in LMCE?Is there anybody that sees this problem on media directors as well?Has anybody got the capture card in a media director?
Yeah most definitely,I would really like to see if anyone has actually got a DVB-T card working correctly in LinuxMCE. I posted mine as not currently working on the wiki but I dont think that many people even look at that. It seems a bit all over the shop on the Wiki so it may be putting people off on how to find out what hardware is working etc. If anyone needs a hand making the Hardware Compatability Page any better I would love to help.Keep up the good work everyoneMatt

Illinois Gov. Signs Historic Civil Unions Law
About 1,000 people crowded into the Chicago Cultural Center to watch Quinn, a Democrat, sign the measure that supporters call a matter of basic fairness and opponents decry as a threat to the sanctity of traditional marriage.
"We believe in civil rights and we believe in civil unions," Quinn said before signing the bill to a roar of cheers and applause.
The law, which takes effect June 1, gives gay and lesbian couples official recognition from the state and many of the rights that accompany traditional marriage, including the power to decide medical treatment for an ailing partner and the right to inherit a partner's property.
Five states already allow civil unions or their equivalent, according to the Human Rights Campaign. Five other states and Washington, D.C., let gay couples marry outright, as do some countries, including Canada, South Africa and the Netherlands.
Illinois law will continue to limit marriage to one man and one woman, and civil unions still are not recognized by the federal government.
Chicago residents Amanda Barlow, 43, and Mimi Reynolds, 47, said they will hold a civil union ceremony this summer. The couple, who have 4- and 5-year-old boys and have been together 14 years, had considered traveling to other states that allowed same-sex civil unions or marriage, "but I kept telling her 'No, it's going to happen here in Illinois,'" Barlow said.
"For us to witness and see it happen and to realize that we're both living our dreams . . . it just solidifies who we are as a family," Barlow said after the bill-signing. "So I'm speechless because I feel like I'm living in a dream come true."
They also appreciate the law's protections: When Barlow was diagnosed two years ago with breast cancer, Reynolds had to produce documents from a lawyer to prove to hospital officials that she had the right to visit Barlow and help make decisions.
Now, "all those who . . . might have to go through this someday won't have to go through a lawyer just to have basic rights," Reynolds said.
Opponents, including some religious and conservative groups, said the law is a step toward legalized same-sex marriage.
"Marriage was not created by man or governments," David E. Smith, executive director of the Illinois Family Institute, said Monday. "It is an institution created by God. Governments merely recognize its nature and importance."
Some hope civil unions are a step toward full marriage for gay and lesbian couples, although sponsors of the civil union bill have said they don't plan to push for legalizing same-sex marriages, which have limited support in the Legislature.
Cardinal Francis George and other Catholic leaders also vigorously fought passage of the law. The measure doesn't require churches to recognize civil unions or perform any kind of ceremony, but critics fear it will lead to other requirements, such as including same-sex couples in adoption programs run by religious groups or granting benefits to employees' partners.
The legislation, sent to Quinn in December, passed 61-52 in the Illinois House and 32-24 in the Senate.
"Illinois is taking an historic step forward in embracing fairness and extending basic dignity to all couples in our state," John Knight, director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Project of the ACLU of Illinois, said in a written statement issued hours before the bill-signing.

For this holiday season, Microsoft plans to right the Windows ship and to do so by selling it and the devices on which it runs in a new way. The goals are simple but specific: Sell 16 million Windows tablets over the holiday sales season while making touch mainstream on PCs and improving the Windows retail experience.
Here are the plans.
FY14 Holiday Campaign. With Windows 8, Microsoft sought to "reinvent" Windows. This year, with Windows 8.1, Microsoft seeks to reinvent how people perceive Windows. The focus is on new features in Windows 8.1 and a new array of tablets and other Windows devices that are shipping this holiday season.
Hard goals for the holiday season: Sell 16 million Windows tablets, make touch mainstream, and improve the Windows retail experience.
Why: "Worldwide, Windows share of retail devices continues to decline," Microsoft notes internally, consumer adoption of Windows 8 has been slower than expected, competitive tablets (specifically low-end Android) are capturing consumer share of wallet, customers are confused because of fragmented strategies with PC makers, the environment is complicated, and consumers are doing their own research online while retailer web sites have not evolved to help them.
Barriers: Windows 8 reviews were "mixed" and consumer perception is that it is too difficult to learn. Plus touch PC availability lagged the initial release. Consumers are confused that several OS versions—Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, and even Windows 7—are all in the market at the same time. And the variety of PC and devices type choices can be "overwhelming," with touch/non-touch, tablet, detachable, laptop, convertible and All In One (AIO) choices.
Reinvent the Windows brand. Windows and Windows PCs are now perceived by consumers as being purely functional. The goal with Windows 8.1 and the "uniquely innovative" devices that run this system is to make the brand more aspirational. The mission: "Make the Windows experience a vital and loved part of people's lives." (The bad news: Aspirational is a term Microsoft first used with Windows Vista.)
The brand is Windows. As with Office, Microsoft will refer to Windows 8.1 as "the new Windows," and position it as an advance on the bold vision set forward with Windows 8.
Work with retailers to improve the retail experience. A big part of Microsoft's plans, of course, is to turn the PC aisle hell holes you see today in physical stores into clean, uncluttered and welcoming Windows centers. To this end, Microsoft has created store-within-a-store locations in Best Buy other premium retailers, and has provided other retailers with updated retail kits.
Store-within-a-store. The goal of store-within-a-store locations is to provide an "immersive educational experience to help drive Windows sales." The experience should feel like a premium, one-stop destination for consumers to learn everything about Windows 8.x devices and the related ecosystem.
Key Windows 8.1 features. Personalized Start screen, familiar desktop, first and third party apps, and the best user experience. Additionally, specific devices will push their own unique features.
Overall messaging theme. Windows is best for both work and play, in Microsoft's view. A Windows tablet is "more than an ordinary tablet," while a Windows PC is "the only PC with touch."
Push touch. In developed markets, consumers who buy specific Windows touch PCs and devices will receive a $25 gift card that can be used in the Windows, Windows Phone or Xbox online stores. Offer will be available from November 15 to December 28. Tagline is "Buy a Windows Touch PC and get $25 in apps."
Only 20 percent of PCs that ship during the holidays will come preinstalled with Windows 8.1. For this reason, Microsoft is providing retailers with a special USB-based Windows 8.1 Upgrade Kit that they can use to upgrade. Best Buy, Dixons, FNAC, and other retailers are getting this kit (as well as holiday Windows 8.1 demos). This suggests that Microsoft's schedule for Windows 8.1 wasn't exactly optimized for its partners.
Funding. Last fiscal year, Microsoft spent $241 million on its retail Windows efforts, but that will amount will jump to $405 million this year. $131 million of that is being spent on incentives and offers, while the remaining $274 million is on direct marketing and operating expenses.
Interesting stuff. Hopefully this holiday season will be a better experience than last year.

There's so much new music coming out on a weekly basis that sometimes it can feel as though you're treading water. There's absolutely no way to listen to all of it (if you even wanted to), so it's left to people like Robert Christgau, the Reverb dudes or the folks at Pitchfork to point you in the right direction.
All of the new music — and its instant accessibility via Torrent, iTunes or a stream — presents a problem for older tunes. If you're bogged down with the new Washed Out and Dir En Gray, how are you going to find time for Leonard Cohen and Karen Dalton? Older music — even records released just a few years ago — are being marginalized at a rate that picks up steam daily. I have spoken with several bands that wholeheartedly believe that if they don't produce new material almost yearly, they will be forgotten about.
[insertSlideshowjava xml="http://reverb.slideshowpro.com/images.php?album=129744″]
Jon Pareles wrote an interesting piece for The New York TImes on the pros and cons of the "dematerializing" cloud a month and some change ago; for me, the inevitable prospect of everything available instantaneously is a frightening one. Sure, it might be nice to cue up Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" for a demanding party, but what will happen to an album like My Morning Jacket's "It Still Moves"?
In late 2003, I was living in England and read about My Morning Jacket in a blurb in NME, the British music rag. I was intrigued and after hearing a few tracks online, had the local HMV record store special order me a copy of its new one, "It Still Moves." It hit me, hard. Maybe because I was living abroad and it just sounded so American: fusions of alt-country and pure rock smacking the homesick lad in the face as he walked down the foggy streets. But, I think it was more than that: an epic and nearly perfect record, with a potent curve of action like a great novel. Speedy or slowed down, Jim James' voice absolutely pierces from the opening tics of "Mahgeeta" all the way through the elegiac "One in the Same." The colossality of it all sounds as if it was recorded in the belly of the Guggenheim Bilbao or the nave of St. Peter's.
Surely, My Morning Jacket — who plays Red Rocks this Thursday — has other admirable recordings. "At Dawn," which preceded "It Still Moves," is an understated gem, a forging of MMJ's sound. The conceptual "Z" from 2005 is still fun and this year's "Circuital" fits well with the band's canon, the songs a welcome addition to My Morning Jacket's increasingly remarkable live show.
Still, "It Still Moves" is, as James sings on the album's "Just One Thing," "one thing that does it for me." Listen to it this week, if you're going to the show or, especially, if you're not. It won't take you back to the place I was at in 2003, but maybe if you spun it a few times back then, you'll be reminded of a feeling or a place. That's what the good ones do, right? Hopefully it's one that won't get lost in your — or any other —cloud.

I thought the Ms would never end. Which means the letter S will go on forever and ever. You would think with all the M surnames in my family tree that I would have found something exciting. But not really.
I did manage to add more marriage records to the Matthews family. When FamilySearch originally released the Ohio County marriage collection, it did not include Gallia County. I was able to find images for most of the Matthews marriages, but there are still a few that I'm missing. Maybe they never got married, or it wasn't recorded, or they married in another state.
The marriage record for my 4th great grandparents has me reevaluating my records. A family history gave Thomas Russell Matthew's wife's name as Susan Roath. The marriage record gives it as Susan Booth. I know I shouldn't trust the family history over the marriage, but there are both Roaths and Booths in Gallia County, Ohio when they married in 1839. No Booth family has a female Susan's age in the 1830 census, but a Roath family does. I searched the Gallia County books at ACPL, but I didn't find any mention of Susan in probate records for Roaths or Booths. I'll have to check deed records at some point to see if I can find the connection.
That's about all I found in the letter M. Only 9 Ns to organize, so I'll probably finish them tomorrow.

Over the last year, Fred Lembkie, 62, has had three heart attacks, a failed bypass surgery, two subsequent angioplasty procedures and stents inserted into his arteries.
When the Portland, Ore., man finally underwent EECP treatment, a little-known, often last-ditch therapy for chronic chest pain, he had one question for his doctors: Why didn't anyone tell me about this earlier?
EECP, which stands for Enhanced External Counterpulsation, is a nonsurgical technique used to increase blood flow to the heart. It may help reroute blood around narrowed or blocked arteries.
During the treatment, the patient's legs are wrapped in compressive pneumatic cuffs. The devices squeeze and release — inflating and deflating — to the beat of the heart, pushing oxygenated blood toward the ticker and into the coronary arteries. The typical treatment lasts an hour.
Patients undergo 35 sessions over a course of seven weeks.
The therapy is often offered to those who have maxed out on their medicine or aren't candidates for surgical interventions. It's for the patients like Lembkie who hear, "there's nothing more we can do" for their chest pain.
EECP treatment is "medicine's best kept secret," said physician Debra Braverman, director of EECP at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, who recommends it as a first-line treatment in a 2012 review published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice. "Patients who receive EECP are better, feel better and require less physician intervention," she said.
EECP mimics the vascular effects of aerobic exercise, research shows. EECP, which provides passive exercise, can be used as a bridge to regain an active lifestyle for patients with chronic chest pain, Braverman wrote in the review.
Braverman suspects the treatment has been slow to catch on because "there is a financial disincentive to promote this non-invasive treatment," she said. "It's low cost relative to other treatments for the same disease," she said.
Gold standard trials — randomized and placebo-controlled, held at multiple sites — have found the treatment to be "generally well tolerated and efficacious; Anginal symptoms were improved in approximately 75 percent to 80 percent of patients," according to the American Heart Association.
But it also said additional clinical trial data are necessary before it could be recommended definitively.
The procedure has been proved to temporarily relieve chest pain but not necessarily prevent heart attacks or save lives, said preventive cardiologist Stephen Devries, executive director of the Gaples Institute, a nonprofit that promotes integrative cardiology. "The theory is that the mechanical pressure on the blood vessels in the legs gets transmitted all the way back to the blood vessels in the heart and forces them open," he said.
Still, traditional invasive procedures, including angioplasty and stents, haven't been shown to save lives either, unless performed in the midst of a heart attack, Devries said.
About 600 centers offer EECP in the U.S., according to Louanne Tempich, president of the International EECP Therapists Association, a group of practitioners trained using specific equipment manufactured by the medical technology company Vasomedical and approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
For most people, the benefits of EECP last for several years; approximately 40 percent of patients require another round of therapy within the first three to five years, depending on their condition, said Braverman, who has seen the improvements last for as long as a decade.
The majority of insurance companies pay for EECP, including Medicare.
Lembkie, who finished his last treatment in early February, called the first few days of therapy an "extremely unusual" experience.
"It's sort of a violent hug," he said, because the bags around the body abruptly inflate. "When the machine fires (with each heartbeat), it actually bounces you a little bit," he said. "But you get used to it when you understand there aren't any other options."
After the first few days, Lembkie said he could breathe deeply and clearly. Within weeks, he was walking better than he had been in months and felt he'd never had problems. He's not sure how long the effect will last. But he said if he'd found the treatment six months earlier, he'd been spared significant "depression, anxiety and pain."

CAST holds 'Hot Tin Roof' staged reading auditions
CAST Theater announces auditions for the staged reading of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" by Tennessee Williams on Saturday, Jan. 12, at 2 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 13, at 6 p.m. in the studio at Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade Ave.
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script so there is no need to prepare anything before you arrive.
Rehearsals will begin Jan. 17. The play will be presented as a staged reading March 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. and is being directed by Richard Parker.
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" first heated up Broadway in 1955 with its gothic American story of brothers vying for their dying father's inheritance amid a whirlwind of sexuality, untethered in the person of Maggie the Cat. The play also daringly showcased the burden of sexuality repressed in the agony of her husband, Brick Pollitt. In spite of the public controversy "Cat" stirred up, it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the Drama Critics Circle Award for that year.
The play calls for four women, six men and four children (two girls and two boys).
For more information contact director Richard Parker at 541-490-4398.
'Travesties' premiers Jan. 18-19
The second of four staged readings at CAST this season, the farce "Travesties" by Tom Stoppard, runs Jan. 18 and 19, directed by Gregory Baisden.
Shows are at 7:30 p.m., tickets at the door for $5 per person. Stick around after each show for a "Talk Back" with the cast and director about absurdities, propositions and conundrums revealed by the play, which posits a meeting of James Joyce, Vladamir Lenin and Tristan Tzara (co-founder of the international Dadaist art movement) in Zurich during World War I.

Dave Dondero, more at CEBU Lounge
This week at CEBU Lounge in Hood River:
Friday, Jan. 4: Dave Dondero (Austin, TX), Gregory Rawlins (LaGrande, OR), and Grandma Kelsey (Boise, ID) 9:30 p.m. – Triple Bill, Singer-Songwriter Showcase
Dave Dondero (via Wikipedia): In 2006, NPR's All Songs Considered named David one of the "best living songwriters" alongside Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney and Tom Waits. Dondero released four records with the Clemson, SC-based punk/hardcore band Sunbrain (three on Grass Records and one on Ghostmeat Records), before breaking up in 1995.
The following year, Dondero joined This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb for nearly two years as their drummer. He left in 1998 to focus on his solo material. He has since released seven solo albums - two with Ghostmeat Records, three with Future Farmer Records and the most recent two with Team Love Records.
His eighth album, titled # Zero with a Bullet, was released on August 3, 2010.
Dondero has toured with such acts as Crooked Fingers, Jolie Holland, Against Me!, The Mountain Goats, David Bazan, Preston School of Industry, Bright Eyes, Tilly and the Wall, Erik Petersen of Mischief Brew, Spoon, and Willy Mason.
Grandma Kelsey (aka Kelsey Swope; via Boise Weekly): Her style is simple, bluesy folk songs strummed on a beautiful Gretsch hollow-body electric, but her timid sincerity is enchanting. Unlike many acoustic acts that melodically mope around heartbreak, Swope's songs cover topics as simple as autumn with an infectious reverence.
As part of her live performances, Swope constructs a shrine in front of the stage featuring candles burning over tokens left by her fans, which include everything from toys and weird scraps of memorabilia to love letters. It definitely sets a mood. And though Grandma Kelsey plays in a style that audiences routinely process as background music, when Swope performs, all eyes are on her, hypnotized by her presence and the sort of sultry melodies that turn mere lyrics into poetry.
Gregory Rawlins: In a world of quick fixes and shock value, one-hit wonders and weekly online sensations, it is a rare treat to hear a songwriter like Gregory Rawlins, a poet whose words are both whittled from the sturdy oak of folk tradition as they are tempered by the modern-day skyscraper. His images dance whimsically, often playfully, yet reveal a landscape littered with subtle truths, dark confessions, and fierce social critiques, placing him among the ranks of musicians John Prine, Bob Dylan, and Townes Van Zandt.
Saturday, Jan. 5: Fulero & Day: A Tribute To Elliott Smith 9:30 p.m. – Acoustic piano and guitar tribute to legendary PDX songwriter Elliott Smith
What started as two friends getting together to play through some of their favorite Elliott Smith tunes ended up turning into a slight obsession. Now with a repertoire of nearly 40 of the gone-too-soon local-hero's songs, the PDX-native duo of pianist Asher Fulero and guitarist Nathan Day are sharing their arrangements of these amazingly beautiful and hauntingly self-revealing musical pieces.
Using only the sparse instrumentation of acoustic piano, acoustic guitar, and two voices, the duo strip the loud arrangements away from some of the later studio gems and add a bit of precision to the older catalog 4-track songs, capturing the brilliance and the darkness of this complicated artist in a way that highlights his true talent: writing amazing songs.
Also, the duo donate a portion of the proceeds from every show to the Elliott Smith Fund, a local non-profit.

Equinix Sydney Expansion Open for Customers
Sydney, Australia — June 6, 2007 — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, today announced the completion of its Sydney Internet Business Exchange™ (IBX®) center expansion. The AUD$5 million expansion, which was prompted by strong customer and market demand, is now available for new customer deployments. Among the first customers to move into the newly expanded IBX is Melbourne IT, the largest web and application hosting company in Australia.
The expansion will allow Equinix Sydney to cater to the higher power demand requirements of its customers, in addition to the increasing market demand.
"We're pleased to have Melbourne IT as one of the first customers to deploy its critical IT infrastructure into our newly expanded IBX," said Doug Oates, Managing Director of Equinix Sydney. "The Sydney IBX expansion provides us with the additional power and cooling infrastructure required to meet the increasing demands from corporations seeking to leverage Equinix's secure and robust colocation facilities, as well as the multitude of carriers offering network services at Equinix."
This deployment will supplement Melbourne IT's existing data center facilities and enhance the company's ability to provide high availability services under its WebCentral brand to corporate clients.
Melbourne IT will leverage the IBX service capability to launch its new On-Demand Managed Service (ODMS) portfolio across the region. The ODMS service portfolio has been designed to overcome a range of business challenges associated with deploying and scaling enterprise grade infrastructure in near real-time. Marketers looking to launch short term promotions will be able to utilise Melbourne IT's "Managed Campaign Service" to launch large scale promotions in days rather than weeks.
"We are seeing increased demand from corporate clients for the managed hosting services that we provide under our WebCentral brand.

It's a well known proverb and means about the same as :Originally Posted by Taka
"Better a bread crust shared in love than a slab of prime rib served in hate".( Proverb Proverbs 15:17 )
(Think "Keg".. )
Same idea, I think. If there is hatred in your life / heart, it doesn't matter what you have, what material goods you possess, nothing will make you happy. We are born with nothing and we will leave with nothing. What makes a life worth while is your ability to love others and be loved type of thing.
a "stalled ox" is an ox fed in a stall to fatten him up and make him taste extra good when ready for slaughter. Stall being that little barn cubicle where they keep farm animals and where they feed them.
Another take on that would be...the more you have, the less happy you will be. Little and simple makes your heart stay pure, wealth leads to destruction and corruption.
I think you could read a lot into the proverb.

For over three years now, I have been blessed by God with the wonderful opportunity to work with the post-abortion healing ministries in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. It has been a humbling and awesome experience to walk with the women and men who have had or participated in an abortion in some way. I have a deep love and respect for each person as they come to grips with the reality and consequences that their choices brought about.
In October 2011, I attended a Healing Visions Conference and heard Project Rachel founder Vicky Thorn speak. One of the ways in which she described herself was that she was an expert in a field that does not exist. I have come to see her as a pioneer in the field of post-abortion healing as she gathers resources and insights from everywhere and learns to apply them to the post-abortion healing process.
In many ways, even though we have passed the 40th anniversary of the legalization of abortion in the United States, there is still little being written concerning the post-abortion ministries of the Church. One reason for this is the confidential aspect of the ministry. Over the last few months, I have felt a call to share some of my insights into this important ministry as a way of helping others understand how to bring about Christ's healing to those wounded by abortion.
The first insight gained in my post-abortion ministry is that there are a lot of people whom the person who had the abortion has to come to grips with and learn to forgive. It seems that most people who have participated in an abortion stall their healing process because they do not understand how many people that they are angry with (right or wrong).
For example, a woman may not realize that she is angry with her parents for not providing an environment that would have helped her choose life.
Sometimes a woman must forgive the man involved in the conception of the child. This is especially difficult for men who wanted the child, but had no legal way to stop the mother from having an abortion. I cannot help but feel a lot of hurt, doubled in this area, occurs because, as Pope John Paul II pointed out in his Theology of the Body, the man and woman said "yes" to each other in the language of the body and are now saying "no," resulting in a violent conclusion (the abortion) to this part of their relationship.
A man or a woman who has participated in abortion may be angry at the Church for not being a place where they could come for help at this moment of need.
Finally, the person may also be angry with God, and this anger can take on many different forms. Sometimes the anger at God is for "causing the pregnancy." Other times they are angry because "God still loves them." This love that they feel they do not deserve tortures them more than we may ever know. Helping people discover all the different individuals directly or indirectly involved in their decision to abort, and helping them to understand and forgive, is a major part of the healing process for everyone suffering from post-abortion syndrome.
Another powerful insight is that the key person whom they must learn to forgive is themselves. A woman coming to grips with having an abortion must face the fact that she has done something horrible, as well as the fact that, as horrible as the act of abortion may be, God's love is stronger. Accepting responsibility for her actions is often much easier than accepting the fact that God still loves her. Often blessings from God become sources of sadness as the post-abortion woman desires God to punish her for this evil act. Helping her understand that our God is a God of love and mercy may be the hardest part of the post-abortion ministry.
Many times the situation is complicated by the woman's love for her present situation that she knows she would not have without having had the abortion. For example, a woman who had an abortion when she was in college now feels guilty for enjoying her married life with two children. It is important for her to realize that good can come from evil and it is OK to enjoy the good. In some sense this is what our whole Christian faith is based on. We have benefited from the evil of killing God in the crucifixion and have been blessed with eternal life through the resurrection.
A woman who has had an abortion also must come to grips with the fact that she was duped by those she trusted. She was promised a quick, easy answer to her problem, and it turned out to be anything but that. She was promised that the people at the clinic cared for her, but every story I have heard from women who had an abortion about their experience in the clinics sends a chill down my spine.
From listening to their stories and the stories of those who have worked in abortion clinics, it seems that once a woman has committed to have an abortion the clinic goes from being a warm, caring place to being a very cold place. Women are told that it is not a baby but rather a bunch of tissue, yet deep down women know better. And they definitely know that they bought the lie and, worse, that they bought the lie knowing it was a lie.
The great thing about this situation is that not only does my heart go out to these women, but I know that our God's heart also goes out. These women are still His daughters who He loves very much. Sharing that truth with them over and over again helps them eventually learn to forgive themselves because they begin to see that they don't have to earn God's love, but rather just accept it.
The final insight I would like to share is that women who have had an abortion need to realize that the reaction that they are going through is normal. Our society tells them that there is no such thing as post-abortion syndrome and that there are no consequences from an abortion, but now their bodies and minds are telling them differently. They need to understand that denying, or pretending for years that the abortion did not take place, is natural because denial is a defense mechanism which protects the mind from things that it cannot comprehend at the moment.
But denial only lasts so long, and once we feel safe, our mind and body will want to figure out what had happened. So sometimes regret for an abortion comes years after the abortion. Women may then find themselves being rude or even mean to loved ones because subconsciously they don't feel worthy of love. Or they are afraid to get too close to people because they think it is only a matter of time before God punishes them for their abortion. Sometimes they may even experience physical symptoms because of the stress caused by brain and body wrestling with what they have done.
I pray that my insights may help you come to understand some of what may be going on inside someone wrestling with their choice to abort or to participate in an abortion, because some estimates show that one out of every three women in our pews each Sunday have had an abortion. While I cannot back that figure up with any facts, I do know from my own personal experience that many of the women I meet in my post-abortion ministry attend Church every Sunday and some are very involved in their parishes. So those who are suffering from their choices are much closer than you may think. TP

Lake Sturgeon
Acipenser fulvescens
About This Animal
SIZE: 9 ft (2.74 m)
RANGE: St. Lawrence-Great Lakes, Hudson Bay, and Mississippi River basins in North America
HABITAT: Bottom of lakes and large rivers; occasionally enters brackish water
DIET: Crustaceans, worms and mollusks
ON EXHIBIT: River Giants exhibits in River Gallery
The lake sturgeon is a species that has remained virtually unchanged since swimming alongside the dinosaurs. Populations of this fish has declined due to pollution, habitat destruction and overharvesting. Lake sturgeon may be able to live for 150 years. They do not have typical teeth but instead have wide "crushing plates" in the back of their throats. They use these to crush clams, mussels and crustaceans. The Tennessee Aquarium is working with a variety of different agencies and organizations to reintroduce the lake sturgeon into the French Broad River near Knoxville, Tennessee and the Cumberland River near Nashville, TN. Learn more at www.tnaci.org.
Once plentiful in the Tennessee River, lake sturgeon were extirpated with additions of the dams during the 1900s. In fact, sturgeon worldwide are threatened due to reduced habitat and overfishing. Since 1998, all sturgeon have been listed as Appendix II under the Conservation of International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES).

June 2, 2006
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Deanna Lentz, MIT's Woman Athlete of the Year, was named the winner of CSTV's third annual Diane Geppi-Aikens Scholarship. The $5,000 scholarship was awarded by CSTV's Executive Vice President, Tim Pernetti, at the Tewaaraton Trophy Awards Ceremony on Thursday at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C.
The scholarship is given to a senior women's college lacrosse player who displays the same extraordinary leadership, character and perseverance as exhibited by Diane Geppi-Aikens, the Hall of Fame women's lacrosse coach who passed away from brain cancer just weeks after leading Loyola (Md.) to the NCAA Final Four in 2003. CSTV will televise the ceremony, including the presentation of Lentz's scholarship and the 2006 Men's and Women's Tewaaraton Trophies, on Thursday, June 8, at 8 p.m. The Tewaaraton Trophies are given to the top female and male varsity collegiate lacrosse players of the year.
Lentz, a two-sport standout in field hockey and lacrosse, had a tremendous 2006 season setting new MIT marks in points (72), assists (26) and groundballs (64). A two-time IWLCA Scholar-Athlete and two-year captain, Lentz owns the MIT career records in goals (138), assists (66), points (204), groundballs (194), caused turnovers (114), and draw controls (115). In 2005, she was named to the 2005 IWLCA New England All-Region Team, becoming the first player in the history of the program to earn this honor. A three-time NEWMAC Academic All-Conference Team selection, Lentz also boasts a 4.4 GPA and will graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
The other finalists for the 2006 Diane Geppi-Aikens Scholarship were Crysti Foote of Notre Dame and Katie Chrest of Duke. Both players were members of squads that advanced to the Final Four of this year's NCAA Division I Championship Tournament.
Geppi-Aikens was diagnosed with brain cancer in January 2002 after having cancerous brain tumors removed on three previous occasions. She coached the 2003 season in a wheelchair. CSTV chronicled Loyola's memorable 2003 season in its documentary, Season of Hope: The Diane Geppi-Aikens Story, which followed Geppi-Aikens and her team on the sidelines during games and practices, on the team bus, in the locker room and at home. She passed away on June 29, 2003, at the age of 40.
In her 15 seasons as head coach at Loyola, Geppi-Aikens posted a 197-71 record, guiding her teams to 10 NCAA Tournament appearances, seven trips to the Final Four and one National Championship game. She earned three National Coach of the Year awards, and produced 35 All-Americas and three Academic All-Americas.
In 2003, she led Loyola to a school-record 15-1 regular season record and No. 1 ranking heading into the NCAA tournament, where it defeated Maryland-Baltimore County and Yale before losing to Princeton in the Final Four. As a student-athlete at Loyola, Geppi-Aikens was an All-America lacrosse goalie and also lettered in volleyball.
CSTV's establishment of the Diane Geppi-Aikens Scholarship is part of the network's commitment to covering and promoting women's college sports and women's lacrosse in particular. The network televised the NCAA Division I, II and III Women's Lacrosse Championships this season and featured prominent collegiate programs including Maryland and Georgetown.

__________ Silver
Daughter of
Francis & Sarah E

Suffer little children
to come unto me
This grave stone is not that old, but it has seen more than its share of weather wear. The engraving was difficult to read. The first name may be Elizabeth, or some abbreviation for it, but I wasn't quite sure.
This stone is in Darlington Cemetery here in Maryland. The Silver family was a prominent family in the area. They probably still are. They may even be dear friends or many-times-removed relatives of my Harford County family; I have at least one great-great-uncle with the middle name Silver.
Update: Leslie Brinkley Lawson said...
Perhaps you could review the 1930 census for the parents household to see if this child was listed? Just a thought!
Update: Leslie Brinkley Lawson said...
Thanks, Leslie! I didn't think to do that, so here it is...
The 1930 Census, enumerated on April 29 of that year 1930, has this family living in the Darlington area. In the first column, for street/road, is listed "Conowingo Dam in Darlington."
Francis, age 32
Sarah P, age 33 (I thought it was an "E" on the stone)
Bette, age 5
Millicent, age 4
Williams, age 3
Nancy C., age 1.5
So there is our Wednesday's Child, known as Bette, at age 5. Her father is a canner in a canning factory. In this post, I mention my Jordan ancestors and the other side of their family, the "Jourdans." The Jourdan family owned and operated canning factories. So while this doesn't confirm that the Wednesday's Child family is a certainly a relative of mine, at least I know I'm in looking along the right lines.
Thanks again, Leslie, for the suggestion.

If you had two products of comparable quality and one cost $120,000 and the other $20,000, the choice between the two would be simple. If the $20,000 option were considerably better, then not only would the choice be easy, but the $120,000 option would cease to exist.
To a degree, that describes the horns of the dilemma to be encountered by higher education. No matter how they respond, the cost of a college education and the explosion in digital learning models will revamp the way the next generation approaches education.

Could a reconciliation be on the cards for Chelsy Davy and Prince Harry?
The third-in-line to the throne has apparently asked his ex girlfriend to be his guest at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.
Harry is back in touch with his former love and is reportedly hoping to see her during a break in his pilot training over Christmas.
A friend of the blonde Zimbabwean told The Daily Mail Chelsy had been in touch with Kate to pass on her congratulations.
"Chelsy was genuinely happy for Kate and wanted to wish her all the best," says the pal. "She has been speaking to Harry, who's very excited about the wedding and helping William plan his big day."
"It got Chelsy thinking that she would like to be there, too. All of her friends in Jo'burg are predicting that she will be at the wedding."

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
Past Mayors of Lincoln, NE
Don Wesely was elected the City of Lincoln's 49th Mayor on May 4, 1999 and was sworn into office May 17. In a record voter turnout for the non-partisan election, Wesely received 56 percent of the vote. The Mayor serves a four-year term.
Mayor Wesely is dedicated to improving Lincoln's quality of life. His major priorities include strengthening downtown and the city's established neighborhoods, encouraging and guiding the tremendous growth in business and residential development and putting in place a long-range plan to ensure Lincoln's prosperity for the future.
Wesely has assumed the leadership in moving forward with the largest infrastructure project in the city's history -- the Antelope Valley Project, which will provide flood control, traffic improvements and neighborhood revitalization in the core of the city. The Mayor took the lead in forging a historic public-private partnership among NEBCO Inc., the University of Nebraska and the city that will result in new ballparks for the University baseball and softball teams and a new Northern League professional baseball team for Lincoln. The Mayor has also led the transition of ambulance service to the Fire Department.
Wesely was born March 30, 1954 in David City, Nebraska. He attended the Lincoln public schools, graduating from Lincoln Northeast High School. He received his B.A. Degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1977 and attended graduate school at UNL.
Mayor Wesely has three children -- Sarah, Amanda and Andrew.
Wesely was first elected to the Nebraska Legislature in 1978, becoming the third youngest person ever to serve in the Unicameral Legislature.

You know the old saying, "If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done."
Well, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) in the nick of time on New Year's Day, and President Obama signed it into law on January 2.
ATRA leaves income-tax rates where they were for 99 percent of households, while raising them sharply on the top 1 percent. Unfortunately, these new tax laws are the biggest income-tax increases in over 20 years for higher wage earners. At first glance, ATRA appears simple. In terms of income tax, for example, only the highest tax rate in 2012 — the 35 percent tax bracket — increased in 2013, to 39.6 percent, and that applies only to taxable income starting at $400,000 for singles and $450,000 for married couples.
However, don't get comfortable too soon. Your 2013 marginal tax rate may be much higher than you expect. Phase-outs of tax benefits are one cause. They actually are stealth rate increases, pushing your marginal tax rate above the 39.6 percent bracket in the new law.
The first change is a phase-out of itemized deductions. The next change is the loss of personal exemptions, which adds on as much as 1.05 percent per exemption to your true tax rate. ATRA lowers deductions and trims personal exemptions for those with AGI over the $250,000/$300,000 thresholds.
Two other brand-new taxes for 2013 can also increase your marginal rate. The first is the additional 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on earned income over $200,000 for singles or $250,000 for couples. The next new tax is the additional Medicare surtax of 3.8 percent on taxable interest, dividends (both qualified and nonqualified), rents, royalties and capital gains. This affects those at the same AGI thresholds.
What to do? Reduce your AGI, which reduces exposure to these surtaxes or stealth tax increases, by focusing on finding as many above-the-line deductions as possible. Some of these include taking only the required RMD from IRA accounts, using certain tax-advantaged investments like municipal bonds and life insurance, which avoid or defer taxation, realize capital losses and sell real estate or business property that have unrealized losses, and maximize 401k and IRA contributions. Remember, you can always marry someone who has large capital loss carry-forwards, or has large net-operating losses. Sometimes we have to choose laughter over tears when the taxman comes around.

The cat with 26 toes
6 comments:
I recall reading somewhere - perhaps in one of Stephen Jay Gould's books, perhaps "The Panda's Thumb" - that the number of toes mutates from the fifth (UK: little, US: pinky) "finger" towards the thumb. In other words, if you're going to gain an extra finger, it's going to be inside of your thumb, not as you'd intuitively expect, on the outer regions of your hand. Or paw, or whatever.
Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Also, Sarda, if you're ever stuck for something to tell us about in limbs, how about the evolution of the various limb stances: plantigrade, ungulugrade, digitigrade (unsure of spelling)? I'm curious about this, and how it fits in with the evolution of mammals.
For example, are all digitigrade mammals descended from a single ancestor, or has the hoof evolved multiple times?
This would be a welcome topic, at least for me. Just in case you're bored ...

John - thanks for the suggestion, watch this space:)

I'll certainly watch this space - thanks. Well, I watch it anyway, so no change there!
And, reading back, I see I posted "For example, are all digitigrade mammals descended from a single ancestor, or has the hoof evolved multiple times?" D'oh! I meant "unguligrade", of course, assuming I'm spelling these words right ...

I just grabbed a feral kitten from my back yard and discovered he has 26 toes; unlike Des of Felindre, my kitten has six on the front feet and seven on the rear feet. Pix here. It makes sense that a mutation that helps an animal catch food would continue to appear.
But my kitten has what almost constitute opposable thumbs. Gripping paws might come in "handy" for scavenger cats living near humans, as they are for racoons. My question: are cats evolving hands?

I had a polydacyl cat. I think six toes on three feet and seven on a fourth foot.
His named was Oedipus, which as you probably know comes from the words 'swollen feet'.
That's what comes of having two English Lit' obsessed parents. :p

Leaving Van den Bossche behind on the Tourmalet...
When the mountainous stage 16 is over a tribute to Eddy Merckx will be paid after a long 41 years.
Tour organizers devised a devilish climb over 'the circle of death' high in the Pyrenees remembering Merckx's greatest stage win. July 15 1969 Merckx, the rocket, blasted over the legendary climbs of the Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet and Aubisque. His teammate Martin Van den Bossche, Merckx was surprised to learn, accepted an offer from another team, and this made Merckx livid. Instead of allowing him to win the KOM points at the summit of the Tourmalet, Merckx attacked. He wanted to humiliate him by taking the mountain prize and he did then rode the 130 km solo breakaway to the finish in Mourenx. The bewildered riders soon followed. Eight minutes later Michele Dancelli arrived, 15 minutes Jan Janssen and Felice Gimondi limped in.
Race director Jacques Goddet said, "Merckxissimo." And French writer Antoine Blondin perfectly called it, "the planet Merckx." Bravo Cannibal!
... cruising solo!

Record Description
The collection consists of an index and images of the population schedule from the New York census taken in 1892. This state census is an every-name index to the state's inhabitants as of February 16, 1892. The collection includes 40 counties. This census does not cover the entire population of the state of New York. Some of the modern-day counties did not exist in New York State in 1892. New York City organized its five boroughs six years later in 1898. New York created Nassau County that same year.

Coverage Table
A Coverage Table for this collection is available in the wiki article New York, State Census, 1892 Coverage Table (FamilySearch Historical Records).
The Coverage Table shows the counties included in the census. It also includes their records repository and corresponding Family History Library microfilm number if the information is available. Information is not available for all counties. Counties for which the population schedules are missing or lost are indicated by an asterisk (*)
This census does not cover the entire population of the state of New York. Some of the modern-day counties did not exist in New York State in 1892. New York City organized its five boroughs six years later in 1898. New York created Nassau County that same year.
Record Content
Information found in the 1892 New York State Census includes:
- Name
- Gender
- Age
- Color
- Country of birth
- If citizen or alien
- Occupation
How to Use the Records
To begin your search it is helpful to know:
- The full name of your ancestor
- Other identifying information such as age
Search the Collection
To search the collection by name fill in your ancestor's name in the initial search page. This search will return a list of possible matches. Compare the information about those in the list to what you already know about your own ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person.
If you did not find the person you were looking for, you may need to search the collection image by image.
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page
⇒Select the appropriate "County"
⇒Select the appropriate "Town/City/Borough/Ward and Election District" which takes you to the images
Look at the images one by one. Again you will need to compare the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor.
Be aware that with either search you may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination. Keep in mind:
- There may be more than one person in the records with the same name.
- You may not be sure of your own ancestor's name.
- Your ancestor may have used different names or variations of their name throughout their life.
- If your ancestor used an alias or a nickname, be sure to check for those alternate names.
- Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned.
For tips about searching on-line collections see the on-line video at FamilySearch Search Tips.
Using the Information
When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information given. Save a copy of the image or transcribe the information. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details. Add this new information to your records of each family. You should also look for leads to other records about your ancestors. For example:
- Use the age to calculate an approximate birth date.
- Use the names and place of residence to search federal census records for 1800 and 1900, land records and church records.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- It is often helpful to extract the information on all families with the same surname in the same general area. If the surname is uncommon, it is likely that those living in the same area were related.
- Be sure to extract all families before you look at other records. The relationships given will help you to organize family groups. The family groupings will help you identify related families when you discover additional information in other records.
- Married family members may have lived nearby but in a separate household so you may want to search an entire town, neighboring towns, or even a county.
- You may be able to identify an earlier generation if elderly parents were living with or close by a married child.
- You may be able to identify a younger generation if a young married couple still lived with one of their sets of parents.
- Additional searches may be needed to locate all members of a particular family in the census.
- The census may identify persons for whom other records do not exist.
Unable to Find Your Ancestor?
- Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names.
- Look for an index. There are often indexes at the beginning of each volume. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records.
- Search the indexes and records of nearby localities.
- Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals with the same family number.
- There is also the possibility that a family was missed in the census.
General Information About These Records
Colonial censuses were created by the state of New York and were taken about every ten years beginning in 1690. State censuses began to be taken about every ten years in 1795. This census does not cover the entire population of the state of New York. Some of the modern-day counties did not exist in New York State in 1892. New York City organized its five boroughs six years later in 1898. New York created Nassau County that same year.
New York state censuses were created approximately every decade beginning with 1825. This official date of enumeration for this census is Feb. 16, 1892. The census was compiled to obtain a count and description of the population of the state of New York.
The record is a printed form that was filled in by hand by the enumerator. The schedules are usually arranged by county and political subdivisions. The information is generally reliable. However use the information with some caution, since the information may have been given to a census taker by any member of the family or by a neighbor. Some information may have been incorrect or deliberately falsified.

Four years of Warwick Teacher Union President James Ginolfi is enough, according to Toll Gate science teacher and department head Sam Holtzman.
Holtzman is challenging Ginolfi for the union leadership post in a May 23 election, a job Holtzman held from 2006 to 2008.
In a letter to the membership dated May 3, Holtzman cites a litany of developments since Ginolfi has been president; including the union-initiated 20 percent health insurance co-pay in place of a fixed $11 a week; the elimination of the human science and service department, resulting in lost jobs; the closing of Greene Elementary School; reconsolidation of secondary department heads; and the lack of a contract.
In an interview Friday, Holtzman said he is looking to get the union "sparked up" and heading in the right direction.
He is especially concerned that the union and the School Committee have been unable to reach a contract agreement and that talks are headed for mediation. The department recently requested mediation, a process that is expected to take 30 days. The contract expired last August, however, the union agreed to increase its health insurance co-payment from a fixed $11 a week to 20 percent at a savings of more than $1.5 million to the department. The co-payment is projected to revert to the $11 on Aug. 31 if an agreement hasn't been reached.
"Twenty percent was awfully high as a starting point," said Holtzman, "typically you would start lower and gradually increase."
Is he saying a 20 percent co-payment is too high when private sector co-payments can be much higher?
"In the end of the day, it may be reasonable," Holtzman said.
Ginolfi was contacted for this story but preferred not to say anything, other than to confirm the election and that only the position of president is being challenged.
While the parties have been silent on issues separating them from a contract, the administration has long maintained that "classroom weighting," which is unique to Warwick, is exceptionally costly. Depending on a student's IEP [individual education plan], they may count as many as two students when calculating a classroom size. In a Beacon report done several years ago, school administrators said the provision was responsible for requiring the department to hire an additional 100 teachers at an added cost of $10 million after benefits and assistant teachers are calculated.
Holtzman favors the weighting system, as it provides a "safety net" to students who might otherwise fall behind if classes were too large. Also, he said, weighting serves to reduce stress on teachers as well as fellow students.
As for the cost of the system, he feels it is exaggerated.
"I don't think it's as costly as they claim," he said.
In his letter to teachers, Holtzman further lists the elimination of physical education department heads; changes in teacher evaluations; and "lack of substantive communication from our union president along with his apparent relying on old and failed strategies."
Unlike campaigns for publicly elected offices, Holtzman said there has never been an opportunity for the union candidates to debate. He said he has waged his campaign through letters and by talking with teachers.
He makes the point that he ran for president in 2006 because the union had gone through three years of failed contract talks.
"Once elected as president, a successor contract was negotiated within two months," he writes members. He goes on to say it became a framework for improved communication between the union, school administration and School Committee.
If elected this time, Holtzman says he looks forward to reaching a contract and "advocating for programs that will enhance you professionally while providing other benefits for you and your families."
The election for union president will be conducted at Toll Gate High School from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the 23rd.
I had Holtzman at Pilgrim if he is the head of the Union they are in deep trouble. I understand why he wants less stress for teachers since a class of 10 was to much for him to handle.

The Mission R electric superbike by Mission Motors is one of those motorcycles that looks great by itself in a photo, and then looks even better once you see it in person. Up-close it is easier to appreciate the finer details that went into making the Mission R, like the all-carbon "fuel tank" and battery enclosure, the chrome-moly trellis frame, and of course the single-piece billet aluminum swingarm that was produced by Speedymoto.
Like most things built by Speedymoto, the Mission R swingarm could be a piece of art in its own right (I've got a few Speedymoto parts on my Streetfighter for this very reason), and the Oregon-based company has posted some behind the scenes shots and details of its work. Photos and more after the jump.
