Mississippi Military Records
This entry was originally written by Kathleen Stanton Hutchison for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Revolutionary War. At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, the region that was later to become Mississippi Territory was a province of Great Britain. In 1779 a patriot by the name of James Willing led attacks along the Mississippi, confiscating and destroying property belonging to the British. The significance of this action foreshadows later events that led to the Spanish taking control of British West Florida. Primary source material regarding these events may be uncovered through the British Provincial records found in the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. Of special interest is the Fifth Series (covering America and the West Indies), 582-97. Another helpful source from the National Archives is the Oliver Pollack Papers from Record Group 360, Records of the Continental Congress. These records were obtained in London through the British Public Record Office. For a better understanding of the period, see Robert V. Haynes, The Natchez District and the American Revolution (Jackson, Miss.: University Press of Mississippi, 1976).
Veterans of the Revolutionary War pioneered their way into this land, and some can be traced through Family Records: Mississippi Revolutionary Soldiers, published by the Mississippi Society of the DAR. Information found here is not considered official proof but does offer good leads to what may otherwise have been lost. This publication does have errors, but it is well indexed. Because Mississippi was not part of the United States at the time, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History has no official Revolutionary War records on file. The grave registrations, however, include Revolutionary soldiers who are buried in Mississippi (see Mississippi Cemetery Records).
War of 1812. Research about the War of 1812 in Mississippi should begin with Eron O. M. Rowland's article, 'Mississippi Territory in the War of 1812,' found in volume four (Centenary Series) of Dunbar Rowland, ed., Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society (Jackson, Miss.: the society, 1921). The Mississippi Department of Archives and History has available copies of National Archives microfilm of both index and service records for Mississippians who served in this war. In addition, grave registrations should be checked (see Cemetery Records).
Mexican War. For an overview of the Mexican War as it related to Mississippi, see Lynda J. Lasswell, 'First Regiment of Mississippi Infantry in the Mexican War' (master's thesis, Rice University, 1969). National Archives microfilm of Mississippians' service records for the war is available at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, along with Mississippi grave registrations (see Mississippi Cemetery Records).
Civil War. Of particular value are the chapters in Rowland's Military History'¦ (see Background Sources for Mississippi). They include the numerical listing of the state's units that served in the army of Northern Virginia, and the other listing of those that served in the Western Theater of Operations, Army of Tennessee. For a publication citing original materials pertaining to the Civil War, see Patti Carr Black and Maxyne Madden Grimes, comps., Guide to Civil War Source Material in the Department of Archives and History, State of Mississippi (Jackson, Miss.: Mississippi Department of Archives and History, 1962).
National Archives microfilm of Mississippi Confederate military records, which include both muster rolls and some pension applications, are found at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. The military record gives the name, rank, and organization of Mississippi soldiers who served in the Confederate States Army; the pension application, made by the veteran or widow of a veteran, gives more genealogical data. There is also a listing of Union volunteers from Mississippi. All of these compilations are indexed. The state archives also has a microfilm copy of 'Selected Records of the War Department Relating to Confederate Prisoners of War, 1861'1865,' which is part of the War Department Collection of Confederate Records, Record Group 109.
Some county courthouses conducted and kept an enumeration of confederate soldiers in 1907. The Vicksburg National Military Park, Park Historian, 3201 Clay St., Vicksburg, MS 39183-3495, has a listing of all known Union soldiers buried in their National Military Cemetery along with some family members who were buried there after 1866. This list is available at the park and at the Old Courthouse Museum in Vicksburg. Confederate soldiers are buried at the Cedar Hill Cemetery, whose office has recorded lot purchasers beginning in 1840 and has a listing arranged alphabetically by state of Confederate soldiers buried there. Inquiries may be addressed to P.O. Box 150, Vicksburg, MS 39180.
FamilySearch.org has a variety of collections available for free online:
- Mississippi, Civil War Service Records of Confederate Soldiers, 1861-1865
- Mississippi, Civil War Service Records of Union Soldiers
Later Wars. With privacy restrictions placed on some later military records, availability becomes more difficult. Some records found in the Mississippi Department of Archives and History include World War I records (which include an alphabetical typescript index of Mississippi veterans). The National Archives'Southeast Region has World War I draft registration cards. The state's archives has an alphabetical index to Mississippi soldiers who fought in the Korean Conflict (Record Group 33), and in Official Records, Mississippians killed in World War I, World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam Conflict. Grave Registrations for those buried in Mississippi include the following wars: Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Indian Wars, Mexican War, Civil War, Philippine Insurrection, World War I, World War II, and the Korean Conflict. Though helpful, the source is not exhaustive.

The Woodinville Winers visit Garrison Creek Cellars
The first time we stopped by Garrison Creek Cellars (www.garrisoncreekcellars.com) in Walla Walla we were immediately surprised by the attention to detail at both the vineyard and the winery itself. The second time we visited it we brought some friends from Spokane who had the same initial impression that we did.
This unique well maintained boutique winery with impeccable vineyards is a must when visiting this part of the state.
This winery started based on a friendship of three young boys (Michael Murr, David March and Larry Harding) that goes back many years when they actually worked as farm hands in the 50s and 60s on the very land their winery is on today.
During our two visits David not only inspired us with his tales of the past but also let us sample right out of the barrel of what's to come.
The winery itself is the replica of a barn that actually exists in Oregon. This is no ordinary barn. This is a high- end facility built with a lot of planning, craftsmanship and care.
There are sections built with timbers that are more than 150 years old. The barn alone is worth the trip and you really need to see it in person to understand its significance (photos are on their website).
Garrison Creek grapes come from the "Les Collines" vineyard in Walla Walla and experiencing them in person underscores the winery's deep commitment to excellence. David was clear that they want to have full control over their grapes and do what is necessary to produce the best grapes in the state. David said they sell a majority of their grapes to other wine makers but keep the best of the best of those grapes for their own wines.
Garrison Creek Cellars is a boutique winery making only a limited number of cases per variety each year.
Their wines are slow to arrive to market as they will not release anything before its time. We tasted and bought the now sold out 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (only 392 cases) and the sold out 2007 Zinfandel (only 150 cases).
The 2006 Cabernet was distinguished by an early, hot summer allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness by mid-October. After 10 days of primary fermentation, they pressed the new wine off the grape skins into new French oak barrels to begin the long, slow aging process. The wine was in the barrels for 31 months before being bottle aged for another 30 months before release. This wine was nothing less than fabulous.
The 2007 Zinfandel had 19 months in the barrel and another 18 months of bottle aging before it was released. It was one of the best Washington Zinfandels have ever tried.
Garrison Creek Cellars might be one of the many newer wineries in the state, but they are quickly becoming one of the premier wineries in Washington as well. Another unique aspect to Garrison Creek is that David makes an incredible pate that we enjoyed while tasting some of their fabulous wines.
They also offer some of their earlier library editions for those who missed out on their original release.

Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.
Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means "white and shining." The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).
In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of "925." Pieces with sterling silver may be marked "sterling."
Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.

Last weekend we decided to head back to Miami – the site of our alternative spring break – to hit up Ultra, one of the biggest electronic music festivals in the northeastern hemisphere. We danced, we shopped, we partied until the Miami sun came up, we ate some good Peruvian food, oh and then we danced some more. You could probably add "raged" to that list. There was quite a bit of fist pumping, hands in the air energy. In short, it was freaking awesome! Check out our photo diary and relive the moments of Miami Music Week with us.
Stay tuned in to our Vine, Twitter, Instagram as well as our sister, Aerie's social media for our next adventure in Indio, California! Or maybe we'll see you there.

Microsoft's Monday announcement of an "iPad killer" device called Surface has once again proven the company's ability to surprise the world.
What emerged from the secretive press conference in Los Angeles was the revelation of two tablet devices: an Intel Core-based tablet called Surface for Windows 8 Pro that's set for availability along with Windows 8 (widely expected this fall) and an ARM-based device dubbed Surface for Windows RT, expected about 90 days later. During the press event, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer seemed uninspired -- perhaps even angry -- as he described a device specifically designed for people who want to "create and consume...to work and to play...on the couch, at their desk and on the go."
Perhaps Ballmer believed (as we did about a minute into the second segment of the announcement) that the announcement may have been premature. Presenter demeanor aside, Surface is a strong product, and spec-for-spec is a worthy competitor to the Apple iPad 3.

The Nationals are advertising for adults between 5'7″ and 6'6″ in height who are able to work all 2017 Grapefruit League home games, and can run 200 yards wearing an unwieldy 50-pound costume.
Interested parties can apply here. Select applicants will be invited to an audition, where they will have the opportunity to don the costumes and show their stuff.
For those who haven't seen it before, here's a sample of what the auditions were like in previous years at Nationals Park:

Is Your Child Sick?
Medical Library
Marc Avner, M.D., Greenwood Pediatrics
The symptoms of the Swine (H1N1) Flu have been very similar to those of seasonal flu and include cough, fever, runny nose, sore throat, headaches, chills and body aches. Thus far in the US and Canada, cases of the Swine Flu have been mild to moderate in severity. Like many other viral upper respiratory tract illnesses or colds, the Swine Flu tends to be self-limited and resolves on its own without the use of any medication. Fever may last up to 3 days; runny nose 1-2 weeks; cough2-3 weeks.
Most children and adults who have the Swine Flu do not need specific treatment other than symptomatic care. The anti-viral medications used to treat seasonal flu and Swine Flu, at best, shorten the duration of the illness by one to one and a half days. They do not cure the illness. Furthermore, these medications have been linked to GI and behavioral side effects. At this time, antiviral medications such as Tamiflu are being reserved for hospitalized patients and those in high risk categories, including children under two years and those with chronic illness such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes and immune system disorders. As with the overuse of other antibiotics, the overuse of Tamiflu can select out resistant organisms and render it ineffective for those who most need it.
Even the most sensitive rapid flu tests miss positive cases about 30% of the time (almost one in three patients with Swine Flu will have a negative test). Given that Swine Flu tends to be self resolving and that most healthy children do not need antiviral medication, a positive flu test does not change the course of action for most children and adults
Most seasonal flu and Swine Flu is self-resolving, and healthy children with mild to moderate symptoms are best treated with symptomatic care. However, some children may need to be seen by a medical provider, including those in high risk groups, as well as those with more severe symptoms or worrisome appearance. In some cases, secondary bacterial infection may occur. Signs of a secondary bacterial infection which would indicate the need to be seen include: difficulty breathing, ear pain, a fever that resolves for a few days and returns, acutely worsening symptoms after three days of illness, or persistent symptoms without improvement after 10 days.
If your child has flu-like symptoms, she should stay home from school until she has no fever for 24 hours without the use of anti-fever medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen.

Creative Spotlight: Q&A with Animator Lee Daniels
You may have stumbled across Lee Daniels' work on our Adobe Stories site or our Adobe Facebook Page, but we recently caught up with him to really find out the depths and origins of his creativity when it comes to animation and cartooning.
Adobe: What's your story? How did you get to where you are today?
Lee Daniels: After experiencing a lack of support for cartooning in grammar school, I decided to get a job in graphic design rather than University education. I got to learn all the Adobe software by trial and error in a real world environment on company hardware, which was always better than what I could afford at the time. I then became a digital retouch artist and graphic designer for a magazine publishing firm for 13 years after leaving school. Since then, I've been working as a freelance illustrator in London for almost 4 years (8 including the crossover with my last design job).
What was it about animation that got your attention?
Cartoons like Wile E. Coyote and Tom and Jerry. I always saw the levels of creativity, invention and escapism in cartoons as light-years ahead of the live action drip-feed in to our living room for the other 95% of viewing time.
Cartoons have always been generally viewed as childish because of the history in kids TV, which is why I like to use the medium to create work that is not necessarily childish – without taking it too far of course, that's the job of South Park.
Inspiration: Is it easy to come by for you or is it a rare pearl? How do you find it?
My previous videos include everything from the misfortune of frogs, though triumphant hamsters, to incompetent Secret Service agents and intelligence tests for a reluctant chimp. Although there is no overriding theme to all, I would have to highlight the common thread as the success of seemingly inferior beings over their seemingly superior tormentors. So inspiration for this can be found pretty much anywhere and tends to come fairly easily. I've usually got about 2-3 ideas for future shorts in mind while working on any one project.
Do you believe in creative blocks? How do you push through them?
Yes, absolutely. Although this is almost impossible to do, I find the best way to get through a potential day-spoiler is to just drop everything, stop working and go for a run. Admittedly this is much easier to do now that I'm working for myself – leaving an employment situation in this fashion would be frowned-upon at best! The only real escape to freedom during a creative block in my old job was a trip to the coffee machine the long way round, which was not very inspiring.
What's your go-to product within the Adobe Creative Suite? Why?
This may sound like a cop-out answer but my go to product is the Creative Suite. I like to view it as one playground. More specifically, if I'm static illustrating or cartooning, it would be a mixture of Illustrator and Photoshop. If I'm animating it would be the previous two plus After Effects, Premiere Pro and Soundbooth. If I'm doing a graphic design job it would be Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. But generally, whatever project I'm working on, I can guarantee to be pressing Apple + Tab multiple times throughout. I've downloaded free trials of a lot of different software over the years, but nothing comes close to Adobe in my opinion. I treated myself to the Master Collection after leaving my job to go freelance, and I wouldn't change it for anything else.
What was your favorite project you worked on while using Adobe Creative Suite?
My most recent work 'Jungle Brawl' is definitely my proudest achievement so far. I made a decision early on not to cut any corners when creating the background artwork and even playing the music myself on guitar as opposed to 'loops' (apart from the drum loops, which I don't play). Previously, I've concentrated my efforts mainly on the characters, but I spent a lot of sleepless nights storyboarding, painting the rainforest environment and thinking of new ways to shoot the scenes in an attempt to keep up the filmic quality.
I utilized all the major Creative Suite applications during production – as you'll see from the credits – and After Effects is definitely the star of the show, although heavily backed-up by Photoshop and Illustrator. After Effects is an incredibly powerful cartoon animating tool and I'm pleased to be championing its use for this medium.
Who are your creative role models?
Stylistically, I take inspiration from hundreds of undiscovered creatives in my online networks. Inspiration from more publicly known artists and companies would be some of the more obvious: Frank Miller, Jamie Hewlett, Patrick Brown, Dave Gibbons, Pixar, Warner Brothers.
If you could give one piece of advice to a new animator/artist starting out, what would it be?
Learn the software and practice, practice, practice. Every piece of software I've used has been predominantly learned by trial and error. I find that pure experimentation throws up unexpected problems and only deepens your knowledge in the long run by forcing you to learn what NOT to do.
To find out more about Lee's upcoming work, you can follow him on Twitter @LeeDanielsART.

Three years later, Flickr gets around to video
Promises, promises. Flickr cofounders Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield, we hear, are finally introducing video to the photo-sharing site they sold to Yahoo in 2005. But they've taken their sweet time. First Fake told Engadget back in 2004 that she wanted the site to introduce "short-form video." Then she told ZDNet's Dan Farber in December 2005 that it was being "hotly debated and discussed on the team." And Butterfield hinted last May that his photo sharing site would host moving pictures "soon." For some value of "soon." Here's the reason for the latest delay.
It appears that Flickr's video efforts have been tied up by Yahoo's slow-moving response to Google's popular YouTube video site. At long last, Yahoo's tying together its video properties, and Flickr's part of the grand plan. One hopes it will happen before the Flickr couple's newborn is old enough to drive.

So, I just destroyed invisible zipper number 2 on my birthday dress. I put in a waist stay (thanks for the idea Ginger!!!). I'm pretty sure that would have worked in normal circumstances, but I took out all of the ease. My bad! I'm glad I learned this now before cutting into my expensive silk. I don't think I'm going to use my silk for this design. It wasn't overly difficult, but I'm *over* making this design. I made two bodice muslins and this version. I'm looking forward to new projects.
This time the zipper pull came completely off of one side of the track. I'm just going to get a sturdier non-invisible zipper. Majuhh bummah.

They probably don't even know it — not just yet, anyway. But with about nine months to go before the opening of three large floors for babies and mothers in the Courtyard Tower at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, women who are newly pregnant will be the first to try out the fancy new digs.
The lobby of the nine-story, $186 million tower is expected to open April 1, providing access to the current facility while construction continues on the upper floors.
The tower also will have separate floors for surgery, cardiac care and orthopedics.
Among the amenities on the obstetrical floors: large, sunny rooms with plenty of space for family members; soothing colors and plush waiting areas with WiFi, refrigerators and microwaves; whirlpool tubs to ease the pain of labor; wireless monitors so women can move around the corridors untethered to equipment; and state-of-the-art bassinets that allow even premature infants to bunk in with their families.
According to Kyle Garner, who became Sarasota Memorial's chief of obstetrics and gynecology last year, the changes are based on what hospital physicians, nurses and patients said they wanted.
"It's more private and more elegant," Garner said. "It will allow women to have a better experience."
But the changes go beyond the option of having a warm soak while in labor. A culture change also is under way, he said.
"Patients have the opportunity for a more natural childbirth experience within a safe environment," said Garner, whose private practice includes three midwives. "We are encouraging women to let the process occur naturally."
That means not necessarily lying flat, tethered to a bed by I.V. tubing and monitors while dressed in a hospital gown.
"We encourage the woman to get up, drink and eat light foods, and to rock and sway on a birthing ball. We want them to listen to what their bodies are telling them to do," Garner said.
He says movement on the birthing ball — a large rubber ball that supports a person's weight — helps the baby travel through the pelvis.
In the past year, the hospital has tightened its policies to discourage induced labor if there is no medical reason.
Sarasota Memorial also is working to reduce the number of Cesarean sections, offer alternative pain control methods and support vaginal births after a C-section, said spokeswoman Kim Savage.
But the hospital staff also supports women who opt for an epidural for pain relief, Garner says, and adds no one will be made to feel ashamed for requiring a C-section.
The idea is to provide women with what they want and need, knowing that sometimes emergencies can lead to a sudden change of plans, he says.
Shifting environment
The movement away from a "medicalized" childbirth began in the 1960s, and in the last half century has gone through cycles of popularity.
In the 1980s, suburban hospitals began making their obstetrical units more homey, with warm colors, a "room service" menu and other amenities.
Hospitals continue to vie to see who can provide the prettiest and most comfy rooms for new families. As the only hospital that delivers babies in Sarasota County, Sarasota Memorial is at an advantage.
But it also competes with tony Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, just over the county line in Manatee County, and the newly expanded Family Birth Place at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Bradenton.
New mothers are coveted patients, because, the thinking goes, providing a positive childbirth experience will keep families coming back for additional care.
Otherwise, labor and delivery aren't much of a cash cow for hospitals.
"OB care is not typically a profitable service," Savage said. "Other hospitals in our region stopped providing the service for just that reason.
"Many of the patients are uninsured or underinsured, and the high-risk patients often deliver babies that must be cared for in the NICU, which typically operates at a financial loss," Savage said.
Currently, the labor and delivery, mother-baby unit and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are spread across several floors and buildings in the main campus.
"It is a very inefficient setup for staff and doctors," Savage said. "We wanted to consolidate those services for several reasons, and it just made sense from a patient-care perspective to group those units together. We also wanted to provide all private rooms and the added space in the new tower allows us to do that."
The hospital, which delivers about 3,000 babies each year, expects its birth rate to stay about the same in the new tower.
Manatee Memorial, with about 2,156 babies born a year, also touts amenities to attract young families.
Private suites have accommodations for dads, restaurant-style menus are available, and families are served celebratory sparkling cider and chocolates.
"Families do often choose a hospital because of their experience during childbirth," said Manatee Memorial spokesman Vernon DeSear. "Our long-term staff has always been a very positive reason for that selection."
Lakewood Ranch Medical Center delivers about 800 babies each year. It also offers special menus, as well as a celebratory steak-and-shrimp dinner and "Tea for Two," featuring tea and cookies every afternoon. It provides free "Baby Bump" photography sessions twice a month, as well as a free portrait of mothers, babies and other family members in the hospital room after the birth.
In addition to upping the physical amenities at Sarasota Memorial, Garner says he also is working to change the culture of the medical staff in obstetrics, encouraging them to adopt a team approach to empower all — physicians, nurses and patients — to speak up and address problems.
Birth plans
In 2008, Sarasota's Laura Bauman had hoped to have minimal or no medical interventions when daughter Charlotte entered the world.
Because her insurance did not cover a home birth or birthing center, she resigned herself to checking in to Sarasota Memorial.
She felt as if the hospital was working against her desire for a natural birth.
"My experience with the hospital policies was unpleasant, to put it nicely," Bauman said. "The nurse I was unlucky enough to have in labor and delivery made me feel crazy for my views."
But last year, when it was time for baby Elsa to join the family, the hospital's change in attitude was striking.
"I was petrified to go back," Bauman said, "because I was concerned that things would be out of my control and I would end up down the path of many interventions.
"But it was 110 percent positive. I wasn't treated as an outcast."
Today, many women create "birth plans," with instructions for medical personnel and statements about how they want their labor and delivery handled.
"Nurses are now going over with them their wishes and dreams," says Patti Treubert, a doula who assisted Bauman at Sarasota Memorial. Doulas focus on helping a mother before, during and after delivery.
She says the hospital welcomes doulas and midwives, another new trend in childbirth.
"I think for women to have more choices, to have more of a voice, is essential," Truebert said. "The child's birth is something they will remember for the rest of their lives."
Labor rooms in the new tower don't require the woman to be strapped into a bed. If she prefers to remain in street clothes, she can. Overhead, moveable lighting allows medical staff to monitor progress, even if a woman is in a rocking chair.
The benefits of the new facility are extended to babies, as well.
Sarasota Memorial's Level III NICU, the only one in a four-county area, is destined to be one of the star assets of the new tower.
Currently, the NICU is a crowded place with closely spaced cribs, little room for family members and no privacy for new mothers who want to provide breast milk for their babies. Mothers also have to visit their babies from another part of the hospital.
"Right now, we have to limit visits to premature babies, who need darkness and quiet," says Debbie Harmon, clinical manager of NICU. "In the new rooms, mothers will be with their babies, who will be in the Giraffe,' the Cadillac of beds. The rooms will have pull-out sofa sleepers and reclining rockers for family."
The high-tech Giraffe reduces the need to transfer sick infants, which can be detrimental to them, Harmon says. It is temperature controlled and blocks out noise and lights.
Mothers in the new facility can visit the "milky way bar" to drop off their breast milk to have it analyzed to determine if additives are needed for their premature babies. If mothers have medical complications, too, that require a longer stay, their rooms will be connected to the NICU area.
The new facility even has a private room for a mother who delivers quadruplets, with her bed flanked by two baby beds on each side. A partition can go up to reconfigure the large room into two rooms to accommodate two mothers of twins.
If mothers are too weary or just need a break from their babies, the little ones can be taken to a nursery.
Natural births encouraged at hospital's new tower
They probably don't even know it — not just yet, anyway. But with about nine months to go before the opening of three large floors for babies and mothers in the Courtyard Tower at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, women who are newly pregnant will be the first to try out the fancy new digs.

Keep Calm and Carry On
Once in a blue moon, everything works out the way it's supposed to, despite the bumps in the road we encounter along the way. Today was just such an experience for me. My rigid Aspie nature wanted to balk at any number of these bumps that I ran into between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., but somehow, my wanting-to-avoid-conflict-at-all-costs Aspie nature won the day. Allow me to elaborate.
In my role as Head of Career Education at a private school for students with developmental disabilities, I am responsible for the oversight of the annual Employer Appreciation Luncheon. I have managed, during both years that I have been head of my department, to avoid taking on all responsibility for this undertaking, which in and of itself is a little bit of a miracle. By surrounding myself with people I trust, I have been able to relinquish just enough control to see that things can work out well even when I am not hyper-vigilant about every minute detail. So far so good. But even accomplishing that first step of allowing others to take responsibility for much of the planning was in no way a guarantee that the components I was responsible for would all run as planned. I admit, I did forget that for a time today.
It started at about 9:00 a.m., when I called staff into my office to preview the end-of-the-year slideshow that would conclude the luncheon today. This presentation is my baby, it has been for the past three school years, and every year I strive to make it a step above the year before. I was finished ahead of schedule this year, a miracle in and of itself! So I quite confidently called my staff in, sat them down, turned down the lights, and the presentation began … without sound. This was a problem, because the music that accompanies the presentation is an integral part of the presentation, and many hours were spent choosing the music and timing the presentation to fit the selections. I was perplexed, but in no way panicked. I switched to my desktop computer, restarted the show, all went well, including the music, and it was an enjoyable preview. My staff dispersed to return to their own last-minute preparations, and I set about "making sure" that the show would run on my laptop with accompanying sound.
Except that it would not.
It took less than 10 minutes for me to reach the horrifying, but undeniable, conclusion that the music had not saved as part of the presentation on my flash drive. It was imbedded in my office computer, and in my "cloud drive" which I was unable to access on my laptop because my laptop seemed to have forgotten how to link to my school's wireless connection. Okay, time to call our trusty tech guys … who did not answer their phone. Okay, time to see if I can burn the music to a CD that I could run concurrently with the slideshow. Felt a bit late-20th century, but desperate times call for desperate measures, or some such cliché. I asked (begged?) a staff member to hunt down a blank CD for me, and I unburied the four songs in question from my computer and set them up to burn. Have I mentioned that I've never actually burned music to a CD before? Yeah. But how hard could it be? Upon realizing that I did not have a blank CD in my office, I officially slipped into panic mode. I could feel the anxiety coursing through my blood. That set me off to an ever greater degree, because I could feel shut-down mode looming on the horizon.
Then the CD would not take my music. It kept ejecting from the computer, with no just cause or accompanying explanation. Okay. I could say I was sick and had to leave. I could say my daughter was sick and I had to leave. I should have been preparing my remarks for the luncheon—including presenting three student awards—rather than dealing with what felt like an unsolvable problem. Rigidity swept in. I was going to totally drop the ball—probably already had. This was a disaster. How could I have been so stupid as to not check this on another computer the night before? You name it, I was thinking it. Fortunately I was not yelling out loud at myself, anyway.
Then, like a gift from the heavens above, a colleague appeared at my door. This particular colleague is the head of our technical support, and in less than 10 minutes he had all of my music embedded in the slideshow and saved on my flash drive. It took all the restraint I had not to kiss him full on the mouth. Crisis averted.
And as for the speeches? I did not get them written. I managed to wing it rather nicely at the luncheon—which I actually do better with anyway, I come across as more natural—and my assistant who had done the bulk of the luncheon planning gave the awards in my stead. More crises averted.
As for the music … there was one more moment of panic when it turned out that we didn't have the correct sound system in place. We ended up holding the microphone up to the laptop speaker, and the music was heard. All's well that ends well.
It really did end well. It wasn't perfect, but it was really good, and I can take the lessons learned into next year's planning—and know that learning to trust myself and those around me could be the greatest lesson to come out of this above all.

Donaldson keeps Bees buzzing
Brentford leapfrogged MK Dons to move into fourth place in npower League One as they edged a five-goal thriller at Griffin Park.
Bees forward Clayton Donaldson's brace either side of Harry Forrester's strike clinched the points in an emotion-charged end-to-end clash.
Dons pair Ryan Lowe and Stephen Gleeson twice put the visitors ahead with goals in either half, but the Bees had the final say.
Lowe broke the deadlock after 14 minutes when he coolly side-footed home from the edge of the area from a slide-rule through-ball from Gleeson.
But Forrester capitalised on a moment of hesitation in the Dons' box just before the break, weaving past three defenders and squaring for Donaldson to tuck home from close range.
The hosts were behind again minutes after the interval, Gleeson turning sharply and sliding a superb shot inside the far post.
It was level again after 77 minutes when Dons goalkeeper David Martin could only parry on-loan Marcello Trotta's drive into the path of Forrester, who smashed home the rebound.
The Bees winger, unplayable for long spells, had a chance to wrap it up, but Martin got the better of him in a one-on-one.
But the Londoners made sure of the points with a minute to go when Trotta's fierce drive was palmed clear to the on-rushing Donaldson, who bundled home to the delight of the home fans.

CBD Oil Spray in Las Vagas
CBD Oil Sprays And Skin Care Products By Hemp genix
With more research underway surrounding the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, many new methods for infusing products with cannabinoids are being developed. One of the most intriguing is in using them within CBD Oil Spray products.
Cannabis CBD Oil Sprays come in the form of lotion, salves, balms, and oils, all of which have been infused with cannabinoids. They absorb into the skin directly upon application. CBD Oil Sprays have only grown in popularity over the years. In fact, THC and CBD has even been utilized in general cosmetic products and even personal lubricants.
CBD Skin Care by Hempgenix in Las Vagas
Applying cannabinoids topically will allow them to absorb into the body quite quickly. The relief is also more focused, generally only affecting the specific area where the product was used. On the other hand, smoking or ingesting marijuana affects the entire body, and it can take up to two hours for any effects to be felt.
CBD Lotion are only mildly invasive, and they make a strong entryway for those that are curious to dip their toes into the world of medical cannabis. The prospect of smoking or ingestion is quite scary to the uninitiated.
It's also worth noting that CBD Oil Skin Care In Las Vagas are not psychoactive. The endocannabinoid system is activated, and any mind altering properties are blocked from entering the bloodstream. It's worth noting that topical dosages must be quite large. Since the skin of humans absorbs cannabinoids at a low rate, a liberal application is suggested as a workaround.
That said, CBD Oil Skin Care In Las Vagas can work their way into the skin much easier than THC. They're also more likely to engage the receptors of the CB2 cannabinoids. As such, they have become quite popular for cannabis topical manufacturers. CBD Oil Spray contents have much more hemp than your run of the mill variety of marijuana. CBD Oil Skin Care In Las Vagas has numerous benefits, included significantly lower toxicity.
CBD oil lotion is also quite popular since there are dual purposes at play. They'll smooth out and even soften the skin of the applied area. It's not uncommon for people to become very adamant that CBD Lotion in Las Vagas become a regular part of their lives after trying it for the first time. The FDA isn't keen on any particular health claims being made of course, but it's hard to deny the satisfaction rate of those that have been using CBD Oil Spray thus far.
THC is quite well known, having been included in the conversation about marijuana for quite some time now. CBD Skin Care has become more prominent as of late thanks to plenty of research and trials however. There is still much work to be done towards achieving widespread understanding and use of topical products such as CBD Oil Skin Care in Las Vagas , but it's clear that we're many steps closer than ever before.

CBD Topicals From Herb Genix
If you've ever come across the likes of CBD topicals in online shops or even one your local health stores, you're likely left wondering why you should ever put CBD anywhere on the outside of your body in the first place. The general thought surrounding this type of product is that CBD has to be ingested in order for it to provide any usefulness. The truth however is that it works just as well even if it's used externally.
Believe it or not, cannabinoids such as CBD really do work internally and externally alike. In regards to the latter, topicals are among the most rapidly growing means of cannabinoid use. There's actually quite a large variety of cannabinoid rich products currently being sold that are meant only for external usage.
1 - What Is Wholesale Topical CBD Skin Care?
As more research is conducted on THC, the endocannabinoid system, and CBD, many new ways to use products based on cannabinoids are being developed. The advancements over the last few years have honestly been staggering. One of the major breakthroughs was in making them effective when applied to the skin.
Cannabis topicals are often made in the form of lotion, oil, salves, and balms. Any sort of topical cream or oil you can think of has already been given the cannabinoid treatment. Products of this kind are made with active cannabinoids that are absorbed into your system directly through your skin. Topicals can owe their popularity in recent times largely to the wide variety of products available. CBD has even made its way into lip balms, body butters, general cosmetics for the skin, and a number of hair care products.
2 - How Do Wholesale CBD Topicals Like This Work?
Instead of taking CBD hemp oil by mouth, a topical application of cannabinoids means they can absorb into the treated area in a much faster manner. The resulting effects will have a much more focused onset. Orally ingested CBD affects the entire body, and it may take as long as 2 whole hours to work.
Given its nature as such a minimally invasive means of using CBD, the topical cannabinoid method is favored by many consumers that are just barely dipping their toe into the much larger pool of the hemp oil industry at large. Many people are hesitant to take CBD oil orally. An external application feels much safer for a first time experience, especially given the targeted response.
CBD oil topical products are non-psychoactive, much the same as all hemp oil products. Since the cannabinoids are reacting along with CB2 receptors located close to the skin, they never reach the bloodstream at all. The endocannabinoid system is activated immediately upon the oil working its way through the skin.
Since human skin has shown to have such a low rate of absorption for cannabinoids, the application has to be quite heavy. Think of it as a barrier that you're pushing through. As such, CBD topicals generally direct consumers to implement a liberal application to the desired area. CBD is much more prone to penetrating through the skin in comparison to THC however, and it's also a lot more likely to engage the CB2 cannabinoid receptors. This makes CBD a much more popular choice for creating cannabis derived topicals. CBD also has a lot of hemp content, making hemp a great source for CBD topicals.
3 - How Should CBD Oil Topicals Be Used?
Hemp Genix has a wide variety of topical CBD oil products in the online shop. Hemp oil sales made by Dixie Botanicals and RSHO are among the most popular options currently available. Fully infused with CBD, the salves can be worked into the skin, muscles, and joints all throughout the day, as liberally and often as desired.
CBD infused skin products made by Cannabis Beauty Defined are also quite popular. This is a line of skin care products with anti-aging properties. They include moisturizers, toners, exfoliators, and serums along the CBD oil. There are also a mixture of herbal extracts included to make sure the skin is well pampered. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance to the treated area.
Hemp Genix also sells an assortment of CBD coffees and oil sprays, along with various other products meant for eating and drinking. There's also CBD infused body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and moisturizers. As such, your entire bathing and showering regimen can be bolstered by the benefits of hemp oil.

CBD Oil Skin Care products
If you would like to purchase this type of CBD oil on a wholesale basis, you need to keep in mind that the cost and high quality of the oil depends on the plant it comes from. Another significant issue is the quantity of the oil that the plant produces. This oil is the most used critical oil on earth. Industrial hemp oil is not a drug. There is also not enough THC contained in it to produce a psychotropic effect. Our oils specifically have No THC and are therefore 100% USA. Many people might come into contact with industrial hemp oil when looking for cannabidiol oil (CBD) to buy. Therefore CBD Oil wholesalers need to do research to ensure you understand exactly what you are searching then selling ultimately to your customers. In the United States, there are many very low quality, fake CBD oil wholesalers, and many sell CBD oils from Canada or the UK. For 90% of the companies the purity levels are 17% to 40%.
Buy CBD Wholesale
They offer very economic rates, specially when compared with other so-called CBD Wholesalers who are actually middlemen (referred to as Brokers) that drive the expense up. It is an ideal way of saving money by going to the farm directly as soon as possible, or even better to get all of the raw CBD Materials, CBD Oil Drop Shipping, Order Fulfillment and Private Label CBD Manufacturing that you need all from one place. You won't have to give up your regular prices to buy it. The advantages offered by hemp oil hasn't been analyzed extensively in humans, so although it likely does have advantages, they have not been established medically and are not ensured.
It isn't necessary to visit in person to shop. That will help you save even more money. To ensure that you avoid scam drug stores, make sure you thoroughly research web drug store websites. It can also be found easily in a local supermarket all throughout the year.
Since all of its components are natural, it is completely safe to take orally. It is possible to find the product either at a shop or on the web. If you would like to purchase bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil products, contact to obtain specific prices. The leading company for Wholesale CBD Products.

Mississippi Vital Records
This entry was originally written by Kathleen Stanton Hutchison for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
By law, the State of Mississippi was not required to keep birth or death certificates until 1 November 1912. Birth and death records since 1912 have been kept by the Mississippi State Department of Health, Vital Records, P.O. Box 1700, Jackson, MS 39215. The department responds to mail requests; however, the requests must be submitted on the appropriate required form, which can be obtained from the website.
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History maintains microfilm copies of marriage records held in the county courthouses. The records held are often sporadic depending upon the years of courthouse fires. The Mississippi Genealogical Society, Survey of Mississippi Courthouses (Jackson, Miss.: the society, 1957), although outdated, provides important holdings information about surviving court records kept in each courthouse. In addition to the marriage records in each county, there is a statewide index listed by groom's name on microfilm for those marriages prior to 1926. This index includes name of the bride and groom, date marriage took place or when the license was secured, name of the county, and book and page number of the marriage record. Also, some counties have original marriage records indexed by bride's name. After the Civil War, separate books for African-American marriages were kept, although when looking for any marriage in Mississippi, all marriage volumes in the county should be checked.
Before 1859, divorce proceedings were introduced as private bills in the legislature. References to these are found in Index to Session Acts, an unpublished guide found in the Mississippi Department of Archives and History. Since 1859, divorce proceedings are filed in the chancery clerk's office of the county in which the divorce took place. Copies of these later records are not found at the state archives.

TV star Eamonn Holmes, who grew up a short distance from Northern Ireland Hospice's adult and children's facilities in north Belfast, said he had witnessed an amazing transformation.
The new NI Hospice ambassador commented: "As a young man when I used to walk past the hospice here you sort of averted your eyes because you didn't like to think of what went on in there.
"Now when you see this – the biggest charity development project ever in Northern Ireland – and you go inside, you see the story is one of incredible positivity, excitement and joy.
"You realise that people don't come here to die, they come here to live, to enjoy whatever life they have left."
He added: "I salute these people and I'm so proud to be an ambassador for them and to spread the word and to realise how much money is actually needed from the voluntary sector to keep this going.
"My job now is to spread the word, be involved in fundraising projects and to make sure we continue to provide the best possible care in this, the best possible environment."
NI Hospice President Paul Clark said it was nice to be working alongside his former UTV colleague.
Having been with NI Hospice for 30 years – 20 of those as president – Mr Clark said he had his parents to thank for getting involved.
He said: "They brought me up to give back. This society has been very good to me and this is an opportunity to give something back.
"The nature of my job – as someone who is wedded to our society – is such that my role with the hospice would fall very comfortably into that. Cancer or terminal illness knows no bounds, it is no respecter of class nor creed. We all know someone who has had a terminal illness."

Leading Edge Technologies
An Infopeople Webinar
Presenter: Roy Tennant
Want a long-range preview of the technologies that are headed our way? For those of us who don't work in the rarefied atmosphere of research and development, it can be difficult to separate the promise from the hype. Large library organizations OCLC, RLG, UC, MIT, and others are experimenting today with technologies that may someday show up at your library's door. What are these leading edge technologies? What can they do? Why are they important to you? And what should you be thinking about now so that you're ready when they get here?
By participating in this webcast you'll get a tantalizing glimpse into the technological blue sky, and early warning about changes that may someday rock your library world. In addition, you'll gain practical insight into how those in the know examine any new technology to assess its possible impact.
This webcast will be presented by Roy Tennant, one of only a handful of librarians who predicted the impact of the Internet on libraries. (Crossing the Internet Threshold, 1992). Find out what exciting new technologies Roy is following now, and how they're likely to make a difference to libraries of all types in the years to come.
This webcast archive is available in Quicktime, mp3, and Real Player formats.

Virginia Romero was a Tiwa Indian from Taos Pueblo, New Mexico. Virginia weighed all of 90 pounds and stood four and a half feet tall on days when she wasn't hunched over with a bundle of some kind on her back. Her long black hair never left the tidy knot at the back of her head and on days when the task at hand was especially dirty and laborious - plastering with mud or tanning a hide - she wore a blue and white bandanna. Virginia spoke little English and rarely traveled beyond the reservation. From the moment this wiry workhorse of a woman woke up until she went to sleep, Virginia worked and she worked hard.
Virginia lived with her husband and five children below the Pueblo near a grove of apricot trees and chokecherry bushes that followed a narrow stream toward the cow pastures. The Romero family like everyone else in the community lived a traditional, simple lifestyle. There was little of anything so the idea of wasting food or other resources was unthinkable and since the primary source of food and shelter came from the land, the land was never taken for granted.
Virginia's life was and still is a metaphor for the land she once walked on and regarded with such reverence. Culling natural resources for the family's survival through harsh Northern New Mexico Winters and filling her children with a cultural and spiritual nutrient that was as important to survival as the meat and fruits she dried in the Fall. And, like the Tewa belief system, women like Virginia were born from the earth, were a part of the earth during their life time and then gave themselves back to their original mother when their human body no longer contained them.
Recently while interviewing Lee Ann Martin, I thought of Virginia Romero and the correlations of these two women.
Lee Ann Martin is a curator at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa. Lee Ann was one of the selectors for the National Museum of the American Indian's Sculpture Competition. Lee Ann's contribution to the selection process, along with her interests in land issues made for a good interview for the documentary on Always Becoming. Lee Ann is also in the planning stages of a new exhibition that will open at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in 2011. The exhibition will look at the land in terms of renewal and sustainability from an indigenous-art perspective. Interestingly, the same issues surrounding the pieces of Always Becoming and, the land base consciousness echoed from Virginia's life surfaced in Lee Ann's interview.
Virginia and Lee Ann were born at different times and under different circumstances, but common was and is their appreciation of the land and land-based knowledge. Women like Virginia and Lee Ann carrying their bundles of wood or ideas to create a fire or land based art exhibitions, women who in their own right are responsible for generational renewal. These strong female voices come from the reservations and or urban settings reminding every day we are apart of the cultural continuum.

The Scoop on Sweet Peppers
Crunchy, sweet bell peppers are a favorite food item for many. In fact, the average adult in the United States consumes about 9½ pounds of bell peppers a year! Sweet bell peppers are found in a variety of bright colors from yellow, to red, to green. Do you know all the fun and healthy ways to bring bell peppers into your cooking?
How it's grown: Peppers grow best in a warm environment of at least 60° F. Grown commercially, they may be planted in a greenhouse then transplanted to a field. Bell peppers love company – sometimes a field of them has more than 10,000 plants per acre! Peppers are typically harvested by hand, then kept refrigerated to prolong their shelf life. Florida and California are the top pepper producers in the United States.
How to shop for it: Choose bell peppers that feel firm and heavy, with smooth, glossy skin.
How to store it: Bell peppers can be stored in the fridge for 7-10 days. If you don't plan to use the pepper right away, cover it with a damp paper towel to help it hold its moisture and stay crisp.
How to prepare it: Wash under cold water, then use a paring knife to remove the stem. The pepper can then be sliced into rings or strips, chopped or prepared however the recipe calls for.
How to eat it:
- Raw bell peppers cut into thick strips are a perfect vehicle for hummus or tzatziki sauce. Serve with 100% whole-grain pita chips and other raw veggies for a solid snack or mini-meal.
- Bell pepper strips are a great addition to Mexican fajitas or Chinese stir-fry.
- Make "eggs in a hole" using rings of sliced bell pepper instead of bread: Place bell pepper rings in a large, greased skillet over medium heat, then crack an egg in each pepper ring. Allow to cook for 3 minutes, then carefully flip each ring. Sprinkle each egg with grated Parmesan cheese and cook for another minute. Breakfast is served!
- For a low-carb twist on nachos, use fresh, crisp bell pepper slices instead of tortilla chips. Use halved mini peppers, or cut several large peppers into triangular "chips." Arrange on a baking sheet, then top with black beans and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven at 400° F for 5-10 minutes, until cheese melts. Then top with your favorite nacho toppings, such as diced tomato, avocado, olives or sour cream (or substitute plain nonfat Greek yogurt for the sour cream, for another healthy twist!).
Nutritional highlights: A cup of chopped pepper slices contains 200% of your daily value for vitamin C! That's more than twice the amount an orange contains. Peppers are also a good source of vitamin A. That same one-cup serving also provides 3 grams of dietary fiber. Like most vegetables, a pepper is naturally low in saturated fat and sodium. Bell peppers also contain disease-fighting antioxidants and are particularly high in two types of carotenoids, beta-carotene and zeaxanthin.

1. The worst of it is over. The fighting, the negotiating, the returning of the oversized T-shirts, the Facebook status update change that everyone and their mom commented on with ":(". You're done with all of that now.
2. You're not dragging it out for that extra "We should break up but we're too lazy/codependent so we'll let it go until it becomes totally unbearable and also I use your HBO GO password" year. Or maybe you did. But you're not letting it go on for another one, which is 365 days less of being stuck in a bad relationship.
3. You can do all the things that your ex-partner hated. He didn't like when you used apple cider vinegar in your shampoo? And let the cat sleep in bed? And did Jillian Michaels DVDs in the living room really loudly while he was trying to work in the bedroom? Now you can do all those things. At once, even!
4. You'll learn to appreciate having time for yourself again. Whether you want to use that time to do yoga, get a facial, or do some work, your time is all yours again. You're allowed to be selfish now.
5. You have more time for your friends. Let's be honest, once you get serious, your significant other takes up at least 50 percent of your time. Think about all the female friends you've lost to boyfriends.
6. By ending the relationship, you can put things in more perspective and see how much you've changed and grown. A huge reason that really serious long-term relationships don't work out is because both people are changing — usually getting closer to the mature, grown-up human beings they'll eventually be. So drifting apart is sad, but actually indicates positive change in both of you as individuals.
7. You're free to find someone who fits with the person you are now. #Upgrade. You need your Significant Other 2.0.
8. You learned how to function during a time of extreme sadness and stress. Unlike college breakups, when you could ostensibly go into semi-catatonic shut-in phase and spend 48 hours in your dorm room under the covers with Law & Order SVU and a roll of raw cookie dough, you're a grown-up now, and you need to go to work. Even though you just got hit by the Feelings Truck. And figuring out how to drag your emotionally wounded ass into the shower and then into the office will bolster your capacity to live through future calamities day-to-day.
9. You can have sex with that cute guy friend you've always kind of wanted to have sex with and maybe have almost had sex with a few times before. Find out if the sexual tension and buildup was worth it! At the very least, it'll be a fun mystery to finally solve! Kind of a Nancy Drew and the Curious Case of Long-Awaited Deep Dicking.
10. You can — actually, you're basically required to — binge-watch Sex and The City and unabashedly identify with Carrie. He's soooOOOO Mr. Big. I mean, he was a year younger than me, and nice, and an interior designer, and not from New York, and Asian, but other than that, he's SOOOOOO Mr. Big.
11. You can relearn how to do nice things just for yourself. When you were with your partner, maybe they were the one who pushed you to do the dishes, cook nice dinners, and suggested you go on a vacation together. But now you can learn how to treat yourself or make your home a nicer place to live in, just because you respect yourself, not because you have an obligation as someone's girlfriend.
12. You get to make a Pinterest board of inspirational breakup quotes and none of your friends will judge you (temporarily, at least). OK, I might.
