Updated 3:45 p.m. ET
(CBS News) As President Obama and the Democrats gear up for their convention in Charlotte, N.C., this week, Democrats unpacked their thoughts on last week's Republican convention. Senior campaign aide Stephanie Cutter said she gathered that Republicans "think lying is a virtue."
"It was a week of personal attacks, empty platitudes, and the one thing you were left with is they really think lying is a virtue," Cutter said on "Face the Nation" Sunday.
When asked by host Bob Schieffer if she thinks Republicans are liars, she walked the statement back, slightly. "I heard a lot of things that weren't true last week," she said, pointing to vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan's assertion that President Obama's policies closed a Janesville, Wis., plant. The plant actually closed in 2008, before Mr. Obama took office.
Cutter also mentioned Ryan's claims that $716 billion were "funneled out of Medicare by President Obama" to pay for the Affordable Care Act, disadvantaging seniors, when the law cuts payments to providers, not beneficiaries.
Fact checking Paul Ryan's convention speech
"The President is using dirty political tactics because the truth about his abysmal record hurts," Romney spokesperson Ryan Williams said.
Perhaps playing into the Republicans' argument about this election, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said Americans may not be better off than they were four years ago, but added "that's not the question of this election.
"Without a doubt, we are not as well off as we were before George Bush brought us the Bush job losses, Bush recessions, the Bush deficits, the series of desert wars, charged for the first time to credit cards," O'Malley said.
Cutter interjected, clarifying, "I want to remind you what was happening four years ago, in the quarter before the time the president took office: We lost three million jobs, our country was bleeding, our financial system was on the verge of collapse, we were passing bank bailouts to ensure that our system could stay afloat."
Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson offered his take on the Democrats' record and agenda versus the Republicans': "[The] president has gotten us out of Iraq. We [are] getting us out of Afghanistan. We've got free trade agreements in Latin America. We have a president that brilliantly dealt with the situation in Libya, with the Arab Spring. . . . But we're not going to be like Governor Romney who says on his first day he's going to start a trade war with China, and our biggest geopolitical foe is Russia."
Williams, with the Romney campaign, responded, telling CBS News in a statement, "Americans aren't better off today than they were four years ago. Twenty three millions Americans are struggling for work and more people are in poverty than ever before under the Obama economy."
Referring to the Republican convention, O'Malley said there were three things missing in Tampa: "You didn't see any new ideas for creating jobs. You didn't see George Bush, and you didn't see Mitt Romney's tax returns.
"Their only idea is ladling on bigger tax breaks for billionaires."
Looking ahead to Charlotte, Cutter said that Democrats will present "an agenda and a vision for America's future, where our middle class is actually growing, becoming stronger, where we create opportunity.
"We're going to be talking to all Americans, not just rallying our base, like we saw last week," she noted.
Richardson added that the Democratic convention is going to be more "positive" than the Republicans' meeting. "You're going to see a convention filled with promising young Hispanic speakers, you're going to see diversity, you're going to see multiculturalism. You're going to see a real effort to engage the middle class, engage the American worker, and say that we want to be positive about this country," Richardson said.
"I think what you're also seeing in this convention is a convention that's positive, that's going to show the contrast between where we want to go [to] help the middle class, the worker, not have trickle-down, warmongering foreign policy, as the Republicans want to," he added.
"You'll have a real sense of how the president wants to move this country forward, and we'll look at the things we've been able to do over the past four years to move the country forward, whether saving the auto industry and a million jobs, with helping kids afford college, passing health care reform, where millions of people are already benefiting from it across the country. So this will be a very different feel" from the RNC.
Viewers will also hear from former President Bill Clinton, the most prominent speaker other than the president. Cutter said the Mr. Clinton will talk about his economic success during the 1990s, which are similar ideas to President Obama's.
"So what President Clinton is going to say is, if you're for a president who can grow the middle class, create that economic expansion, move away from the policies of the past that actually crashed our economy and punished the middle class, then Barack Obama is your guy," she said.
"He did not do that in one term," O'Malley reminded Schieffer. "And I think it's important to remember that."

The Science of Forming
Dear Formability Engineer--Please Help!
Everyone associated with sheetmetal must remember that forming stamped parts requires the systematic interaction of more than 50 inputs (Fig. 1). To simplify the interaction, we can sort the inputs into six major categories. In the real world, however, most personnel consider only two super categories:
• All inputs related to product and production, and
• Supplier material.
Product designers, tool/die builders, press-shop operators and other personnel charged with designing and producing a wide range of metal products have excellent training in their specific field. Apprenticeship programs lead to decades of hands-on experience with experts available to help with press and die problems. Unfortunately, this knowledge base only represents half of what's needed for successful production. What's missing? Training and expertise in material properties and friction, and using data for troubleshooting.
Far Removed from the Press Shop
…metal suppliers, lubricant companies and troubleshooters have expertise in the other half of the knowledge base, but do not fully understand the mechanics and fine points of metalforming. Then, sheetmetal users and suppliers too often discuss only price rather than capability and compatibility required by the product.
Fig. 1—The metalforming process can be analyzed as a system of inputs interacting within a black box to create a useful output.
The lack of personnel cross-trained in all six categories shown in Fig. 1 has cultivated the formability engineer. These people have sufficient knowledge of the stamping and the sheetmetal industry to treat the whole process—from part design to final stamping—as one interactive system. The formability engineer must be neutral and treat both sides equally based on process data.
How might a formability engineer assist with an actual problem? Consider the following letter from a press shop in trouble.
To: Jim, formability engineer
From: George, Average Stamping, Inc.
Subject: Problems forming a deep-drawn cup
Dear Jim:
For nine years we have successfully deep drawn cups with a hemispherical bottom. Recently we received a new design very similar in style to the old cup but with a deeper draw and more severe hemispherical bottom. The purchase orders we receive usually have a clause stating, "Steel to Make Part Number wxyz." However, I learned that we are receiving common cold-rolled aluminum-killed draw-quality (AKDQ) steel. We were buying steel from two suppliers to ensure a continuous supply, and had to adjust the die and press when switching steels.
To my surprise, the purchase order for the new part contained a steel specification for CRS IF, 40 to 50 percent elongation, 1.6 minimum r value, 0.3 minimum n value. What does the IF do and how meaningful are the included values?
The new part has several problems (Fig. 2).
• Instead of four small ears equal in height around the open end of the cup, two longer ears now are being formed.
• Breakage occurs in the bottom dome where the end of curvature joins the straight cup wall.
• The die impact line is part of the up the cup wall and is a visual problem.
I have sent you a gridded new part so you can examine the actual problems. I did not include one of our old parts because they will be going out of service. Once you reach some conclusions we can talk about a contract for your work.
Best regards,
George, press shop manager
Dear George,
The IF designation applies to VD-IF (vacuum-degassed Interstitial-free) steel. This steel has reduced carbon content and added vanadium, columbium or other elements. Compared to AKDQ, VD-IF steel exhibits the increased stretchability (indicated by the n-value) needed for the larger hemispherical cup bottom. AKDK typically have an n-value of 0.18 to 0.23; n value for VD-IF steel ranges from 0.23 to 0.27. I do not know who specified your minimum n-value of 0.30, but to obtain n-values above 0.30 requires use of an austenitic stainless steel (3xx series).
Buying steel from two suppliers usually leads to part variations when forming in the same die, due to differences in mechanical properties. I recommend you obtain the chemical and mechanical properties of the problematic steel, and for steel shipment that seems to perform better. This should indicate to the steel supplier the changes necessary to meet your requirements.
Fig. 2—This problematic part had two large ears instead of four small ears; a tear where the bottom hemispherical portion was not tangent to the deep-drawn cup; and a die impact line above the cup/hemispherical bottom junction.
Normally, deep-drawn cups have four ears nearly equal in height, as produced by the die used to form the previous cup design. Two ears can be created by a special set of mean r-values, but that is quite rare. Instead, an elliptical punch or die ring typically gets the call for generating two ears. The two locations of reduced wall clearance tend to iron the sheet thickness and extrude the ears up the punch wall.
Take two blanks and draw a line marking the rolling direction. Place the first blank on the die with the line oriented front to back. Run the first blank, then place the second blank in the die with the line rotated 45 deg. from the first blank. If the ears rotate with the line, the problem is with the steel; if the ears remain oriented with the press direction, the die is the problem.
The breakage location in the dome results from a sharp change in punch radius when the hemisphere does not merge tangentially with the deep-draw cup wall. A severe strain gradient then creates a tear. The die impact or shock line first generated at this location moves up the deep-drawn cup area because the stretching of the hemisphere generates extra length of line that flows up the constant-diameter cup wall.
Sincerely,Jim, formability engineer

Businesses believe tribunal system favours employees
81% of companies said claimants had 'tried it on'
Almost all employers think the current Employment Tribunal system favours employees over businesses, a new survey has found.
Only 3 per cent of firms are satisfied with the current system while 97 per cent of companies think the system is weighted in favour of workers, the survey by law firm Pinsent Masons said.
Pinsent Masons' survey received 109 responses from public and private sector organisations that employ more than 500,000 people in the UK combined.
The survey was conducted in order to provide a "comprehensive and robust response" to a consultation launched by the UK Government Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) and the Tribunals Service into improving the system for resolving workplace disputes, the Pinsent Masons report into the findings said.
The current dispute system hinders effective management of personnel, lasts too long and is inconsistent, the report said.
"Sixty-six per cent of employers recognised that the fear of receiving a costly Tribunal claim impacted on their management decisions and the way they managed staff," the report said.
Tribunals should have more powers to weed out weak claims, the majority of respondents said, according to the report.
"Eighty-one per cent of respondents reported having received a claim which they perceived as a 'try-on', with 78 per cent regularly receiving such claims," the survey report said. "Even allowing for the possibility that employers only see their side of the argument, this is still worryingly high."
The survey said 81 per cent of respondents admitted to having settled weak claims because they deemed it cheaper than defending their case at a Tribunal.
Businesses are also concerned with the length of time it takes for the system to deal with claims, and the number of hearings that are cancelled at short notice, the report said.
"One possible solution is for more claims to be heard by a judge alone," the report said. "Eighty-seven per cent of respondents said that they supported the proposal in the [BIS and Tribunals Service] Consultation paper that simple unfair dismissal claims should be heard by a judge alone."
Employers believe that Employment Tribunal rulings vary depending on where hearings take place, the report said.
"Eighty-one per cent of respondents felt that Tribunals were inconsistent between the regions, with 58 per cent believing they were inconsistent even in the same region," the survey report said.
Mediation delivered a better outcome than contesting a claim at a Tribunal, 82 per cent of businesses that responded said, according to the report.
Most companies are in favour of a new measure being introduced to force disputing companies and employees to talk through issues before employees can make a claim, the survey said. Sixty-two per cent of respondents would like ACAS, the conciliation service, to be given the power to make recommendations following the pre-claim discussions, the report said.
"Increasingly we find that claimants are unrepresented and have unrealistic expectations of how much their claim is worth, fuelled by tabloid headlines about large awards to employees in the City," Jon Fisher, employment law expert at Pinsent Masons, said in the survey report.
"Guidance from ACAS that an offer is reasonable should help claims settle early and at the right level – particularly if there are costs consequences for claimants if they ignore the recommendation," Fisher said.
Government proposals to increase the period of service that workers need to have served before they can bring unfair dismissal proceedings against a firm to two years received 65 per cent support from respondents, the Pinsent Masons survey report said. Only 16 per cent of firms said that such an increase would encourage them to employ more staff, it said.
Proposals to charge a fee to bring a claim against an employer received 29 per cent of support from respondents. Other deterrents, such as Tribunals being stricter in not hearing cases that are not meritorious and being more willing to award costs against those bringing claims, were preferred by other respondents.
The government announced proposed changes to existing employment laws in January and asked businesses to comment on its plans.
"Our survey shows that change is urgently needed to restore confidence in the system," Chris Booth, Head of Employment at Pinsent Masons said in the company's survey report. "We will continue to engage with BIS and the Tribunal Service over the reforms which we hope will result from this consultation."

WORCESTER — An elderly man whose wheelchair flipped over in a transport van Monday afternoon on Orient Street later died.
The victim has been identified as Stuart J. Merchant, 85, of Millbury. He was in a van from a nearby day health care program.
According to police, around 3:45 p.m., the 70-year-old driver of the van, who police also did not identify, called police to report an elderly man in a wheelchair inside the van flipped backwards. The driver told police the man was unresponsive.
The driver told police he picked up three elderly passengers and drove off. A short time later, he noticed the victim's wheelchair had flipped over.
Police went to the area of 28 Orient St., where the van had stopped, and emergency medical services personnel and firefighters arrived and started medical treatment on the victim. He was unconscious and was taken to a local hospital. Investigators were told early Tuesday morning that the man died. The cause of death has not been determined, pending completion of a post-mortem examination, police said.
Police said the Crash Reconstruction Unit is investigating, and said investigators will inspect the van and review procedures regarding how the wheelchair was secured for transport.

If you've ever watched "Entourage," you'll know how Hollywood studios like to control things.
If you've ever watched "Entourage," you'll know how funny it is when they don't.
It is appearing increasingly possible that there might be a few Hollywood weaves being torn out at the latest pronouncements about the projected new "Star Wars" movies.
The story so far: Carrie Fisher said that she would reprise her role as Princess Leia in the latest "Star Wars" adventure.
Then her rep said she was joking.
But now George Lucas himself has given an interview to Bloomberg Businessweek, in which he all but manages to confirm that not only will Fisher be Leia again but also that Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill will be there too.
Yes, as Luke Skywalker and Ham -- I'm sorry, Han -- Solo.
Bloomberg asked Lucas about "Star Wars VII," the exciting, Disney-produced movie (Disney now owns Lucasfilm) to be directed by J.J. Abrams.
Please, then, parse these words he offered in reply: "We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison -- or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, 'Look, this is what's going on.'"
Now, it may well be he was talking about Mark Harmon, Carrie Underwood, and the Golden State Warriors' Harrison Barnes. But I don't think so.
My evidence? Lucas' next words were reportedly: "I'm not supposed to say that."
This was followed by: "I think they (Disney) want to announce that with some big whoop-de-do, but we were negotiating with them."
Oh, how was he going to get out of this, without a flame-spitting Disney executive collaring him at nightfall and bashing him with a Mickey Mouse-headed mace?
This is what he tried: "I won't say whether the negotiations were successful or not."
I would not be the person to have "Star Wars" obsessives suddenly foaming in several places because these three actors might, just might, make an appearance in what is sure to be the greatest "Star Wars" movie ever made.
Or, at least, the greatest Disney-produced "Star Wars" movie ever made.
But if I was in the mood for a wager -- rather than a large glass of Honig Cabernet Sauvignon and a nice piece of Raclette cheese -- I would put several cent-pieces on the idea that the three beloved characters will be played by their original executors.

WASHINGTON — High-level officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department were notified in the late summer that F.B.I. agents had uncovered what appeared to be an extramarital affair involving the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, David H. Petraeus, government officials said Sunday.
But law enforcement officials did not notify anyone outside the F.B.I. or the Justice Department until last week because the investigation was incomplete and initial concerns about possible security breaches, which would demand more immediate action, did not appear to be justified, the officials said.
The new accounts of the events that led to Mr. Petraeus's sudden resignation on Friday shed light on the competing pressures facing F.B.I. agents who recognized the high stakes of any investigation involving the C.I.A. director but who were wary of exposing a private affair with no criminal or security implications. For the first time Sunday, the woman whose report of harassing e-mails led to the exposure of the affair was identified as Jill Kelley, 37, of Tampa, Fla.
Some members of Congress have protested the delay in being notified of the F.B.I.'s investigation of Mr. Petraeus until just after the presidential election. Senator Dianne Feinstein, Democrat of California and the chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that her committee would "absolutely" demand an explanation. An F.B.I. case involving the C.I.A. director "could have had an effect on national security," she said on "Fox News Sunday." "I think we should have been told."
But the bureau's history would make the privacy question especially significant; in his decades-long reign as the F.B.I.'s first director, J. Edgar Hoover sometimes directed agents to spy improperly on the sex lives of public figures and then used the resulting information to pressure or blackmail them.
Law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of the investigation, defended the F.B.I.'s handling of the case. "There are a lot of sensitivities in a case like this," said a senior law enforcement official. "There were hints of possible intelligence and security issues, but they were unproven. You constantly ask yourself, 'What are the notification requirements? What are the privacy issues?' "
A close friend of the Petraeus family said Sunday that the intimate relationship between Mr. Petraeus and his biographer, Paula Broadwell, began after he retired from the military last year and about two months after he started as C.I.A. director. It ended about four months ago, said the friend, who did not want to be identified while discussing personal matters. In a letter to the C.I.A. work force on Friday, Mr. Petraeus acknowledged having the affair. Ms. Broadwell has not responded to repeated requests for comment.
Under military regulations, adultery can be a crime. At the C.I.A., it can be a security issue, since it can make an intelligence officer vulnerable to blackmail, but it is not a crime.
On Sunday, the same Petraeus family friend confirmed the identity of Ms. Kelley, whose complaint to the F.B.I. about "harassing" e-mails, eventually traced to Ms. Broadwell, set the initial investigation in motion several months ago. Ms. Kelley and her husband became friends with Mr. Petraeus and his wife, Holly, when Mr. Petraeus was head of the military's Central Command, which has its headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. Ms. Kelley, who volunteers to help injured service members and military families at MacDill, has been photographed with the Petraeuses at social events in Tampa.
"We and our family have been friends with General Petraeus and his family for over five years," Ms. Kelley and her husband, Scott Kelley, said in a statement released Sunday. "We respect his and his family's privacy, and want the same for us and our three children."
The statement did not acknowledge that it was Ms. Kelley who received the e-mails, which was first reported by The Associated Press.
The involvement of the F.B.I., according to government officials, began when Ms. Kelley, alarmed by about half a dozen anonymous e-mails accusing her of inappropriate flirtatious behavior with Mr. Petraeus, complained to an F.B.I. agent who is also a personal friend. That agent, who has not been identified, helped get a preliminary inquiry started. Agents working with federal prosecutors in a local United States attorney's office began trying to figure out whether the e-mails constituted criminal cyber-stalking.
Because the sender's account had been registered anonymously, investigators had to use forensic techniques — including a check of what other e-mail accounts had been accessed from the same computer address — to identify who was writing the e-mails.
Eventually they identified Ms. Broadwell as a prime suspect and obtained access to her regular e-mail account. In its in-box, they discovered intimate and sexually explicit e-mails from another account that also was not immediately identifiable. Investigators eventually ascertained that it belonged to Mr. Petraeus and studied the possibility that someone had hacked into Mr. Petraeus's account or was posing as him to send the explicit messages.
Eventually they determined that Mr. Petraeus had indeed sent the messages to Ms. Broadwell and concluded that the two had had an affair. Then they turned their scrutiny on him, examining whether he knew about or was involved in sending the harassing e-mails to Ms. Kelley.
It was at that point — sometime in the late summer — that lower-level Justice Department officials notified supervisors that the case had become more complicated, and the Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section began working on the investigation as well.
It remains unclear whether the F.B.I. also gained access to Mr. Petraeus's personal e-mail account, or if it relied only on e-mails discovered in Ms. Broadwell's in-box. It also remains uncertain exactly when the information about Mr. Petraeus reached Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and Robert S. Mueller III, the F.B.I. director. Both men have declined to comment.
But under the Attorney General Guidelines that govern domestic law enforcement officials, agents must notify F.B.I. headquarters and the Department of Justice whenever they are looking at a "sensitive investigative matter," which includes cases "involving the activities of a domestic public official."
F.B.I. agents interviewed Ms. Broadwell for the first time the week of Oct. 21, and she acknowledged the affair, a government official briefed on the matter said. She also voluntarily gave the agency her computer. In a search, the agents discovered several classified documents, which raised the additional question of whether Mr. Petraeus had given them to her. She said that he had not. Agents interviewed Mr. Petraeus the following week. He also admitted to the affair but said he had not given any classified documents to her. The agents then interviewed Ms. Broadwell again on Friday, Nov. 2, the official said.
Based on that record, law enforcement officials decided there was no evidence that Mr. Petraeus had committed any crime and tentatively ruled out charges coming out of the investigation, the official said. Because the facts had now been settled, the agency notified James R. Clapper, the director of national intelligence, about 5 p.m. on the following Tuesday — Election Day.
Meanwhile, the F.B.I. agent who had helped get a preliminary inquiry started, and learned of Mr. Petraeus's affair and the initial concerns about security breaches, became frustrated. Apparently unaware that those concerns were largely resolved, the agent alerted the office of Representative Eric Cantor, Republican of Virginia, the House majority leader, about the inquiry in late October. Mr. Cantor passed on the agent's concerns to Mr. Mueller.
Officials said Sunday that the timing of the notifications had nothing to do with the election, noting that there was no obvious political advantage for either President Obama or Mitt Romney in the news that the C.I.A. director had had an affair; Mr. Petraeus is highly regarded by both Republicans and Democrats. They also said that Mr. Cantor's call to the F.B.I. on Oct. 31 had not accelerated or otherwise influenced the investigation, which they said had never stalled.
F.B.I. and Justice Department officials knew their handling of the case would ultimately receive immense scrutiny and took significant time to determine whom they were legally required to inform, according to a senior law enforcement official.
"This was very thought-through," the official said.
The law requires that the Senate and House intelligence committees be kept "fully and currently informed" of intelligence activities, which conceivably might cover an investigation into a possible compromise of the C.I.A. director's e-mail account and the possession of classified documents by Ms. Broadwell.
But Justice Department and F.B.I. rules, designed to protect the integrity of investigations and the privacy of people who come under scrutiny, say that investigators should not share potentially damaging information about unproved allegations or private matters unless it is critical for the investigation.
Glenn A. Fine, the inspector general for the Justice Department from 2000 to 2011, said it appeared that the F.B.I. was "legitimately following a lead" about possible criminal wrongdoing or a security breach.
"Some have said the F.B.I. was out to get the C.I.A.," said Mr. Fine, who is now a partner at the law firm Dechert LLP in Washington. "That might have been true 20 years ago. But it is hard to believe that is going on today."
John Prados, a historian and an author on intelligence and its abuses, said the case "posed several dilemmas for the F.B.I." that would have prompted agents and their bosses to proceed gingerly.
"Petraeus is a very important person, so they would want to be crystal clear on exactly what happened and what the implications were," Mr. Prados said. "There was probably a sense that it had to be taken to top bureau officials. And bureau officials probably thought they had better tell the White House and Congress and the D.N.I., or they might get in trouble later," he added, referring to the director of national intelligence.
But if the security issues were resolved and no crime had been committed, Mr. Prados said, there was no justification for informing Congress or other agencies that Mr. Petraeus had had an affair.
"In my view, it should never have been briefed outside the bureau," he said.

Hi Everyone!
I sure hope that everyone received the gifts they were expecting for the Christmas holiday. For avid genealogists I know that can mean only one thing — a new discovery on a difficult family line!
Well then again that does not always happen no matter how hard we wish for a new discovery to push our research lines farther and farther back.
So now with New Year's rapidly approaching maybe your alternative for next year is to roll up your sleeves and make a New Year's resolution to re-examine all of the data you may have on one of your more difficult research lines for which you have not made any progress recently.
Now is a great time of the year when the snows of winter may have made it easier for us to stay inside rather than continue to pursue out of the home research in various facilities. Now is the time to review what we may have previously discovered and how new pieces of information may finally allow us to break through in a big way on one of our troubled research lines.
Here are some simple things to do to see if you can discover something new to allow you to break through your research brick walls:
- Take a look at your established paper trails for a particular individual you are having trouble with. I can't tell you how many times I have noticed something in what I may already have in my possession. The light bulb may not have previously lit up but taking another look at paperwork you may have may certainly trigger the bulb to light up this time.
- Re-visit the online databases from which you may have already received some information. These databases are constantly being added to. Perhaps the data you needed in the past was simply not in the database at the time because it may have only been 50% completed. Maybe the database is not 80% completed and the one piece you need is now there. But you won't know unless you routinely re-visit these databases.
- A brand new database may have added on since you last visited at a popular site like Ancestry or Footnote. If you subscribe to these keep returning to these sites to see what is new. If you don't subscribe personally to them at home, then come on in to our library and use them in our library. We subscribe to them here, but subscription limitations do not allow us to make these available to you from home as a benefit of being a Schaumburg Township District Library card holder.
- Talk over your troubled line with a collaborative researcher, perhaps one of the many cousins you have discovered. Multiple heads are better than one because new perspectives may come to the surface. Individually we may not be able to see things in a different way. The opinions of another researcher may shed light on a research problem that we were simply not able to see ourselves.
- Take a look at the growing data being placed online form the Mormons at their Pilot Search project at their web site at FamilySearch.org. More and more of their films are being digitized and made available for free online. You can actually do your search online because the film data has been indexed and if you get a hit, you can often link directly to the image of the data itself and save it to your computer. The data being made available is from worldwide, not just the United States. Keep you ears open to the progress being made through this project and take a look at the data to see what may be there for you to make a break through in your research.
- Consider hiring a professional for the one area of your difficulty. For all of the time that has not been productive for you, it may actually help you to spend some money for a professional to maybe deliver to you the one piece of information you have sought for years. Once a professional brings a breakthrough you may discover that all of your research will have accelerated. Consider this option even though it may cost you some money.
Sometimes no matter how hard we try, making these break throughs may still not happen! Being angry and discouraged may only take you to the next 5 minutes! But you still have the problem.
Try some of the above actions to see if anything new pops up from which you can build upon. Keep plugging away at your brick wall problem and see if you can loosen up a few bricks by trying some of the above actions.
Maybe next year may be the year of the long-awaited discovery!

It seems as if will.i.am, the frontman of The Black Eyed Peas, isn't too keen on condoms -- unless he is the one who is buying them. In the May issue of ELLE magazine, will.i.am shared some interesting opinions about women who have condoms in their homes.
ELLE: If you walked into a woman's house, what one item would convince you that you weren't compatible?
W: If she had condoms in her house, that would just fuckin' throw me off. That's just tacky.
ELLE: Well, okay, I could see if she had a candy bowl full of them on the coffee table. But if she's got a few in a drawer, wouldn't that simply suggest she's health-conscious?
W: I just think, like, if you're into someone and you guys get to that level, then that's something you should converse about together and say, "Hey, maybe we should get some."
Sigh. These views make him seem as if he is on Team Palin, rather than Team Obama.
It's very disheartening that, for someone who prides himself on being politically conscious, socially-driven and progressive, he harbors such old-fashioned views on sex and gender. A woman who owns condoms isn't a slut or "tacky." She is obviously someone who is concerned about her health and isn't waiting on a man to dictate whether they will have safe sex.
Yeah, "it's a new day" with the same old "good girls don't like sex" narrative. Yawn.
What's also incredibly out of whack is his unrealistic scenario of how sex plays out between a man and a woman. Hmmm, let's see: Man and woman reach a certain "level"; man initiates conversation around buying condoms; man and woman go out and buy condoms together; and then, man and woman have protected sex.
This is 2011, not 1956. (And it's highly unlikely that a woman had much of a say with respect to condom use back then either.)
How many times have men and women gotten caught up in the heat of the moment -- during a one-night stand or within a committed relationship -- and the man doesn't have a condom? How many times have women asked men to bring condoms and, instead, they show up with nothing but a smile saying, "I'm sorry babe, I forgot"?
If people don't have condoms and find themselves in sexual situations, a lot of the time, they end up having unprotected sex. Given the current state of the HIV epidemic in the U.S., and the increase in sexually transmitted infections, there are serious repercussions for having unprotected sex.
Nowadays, more and more women need to be prepared, and not just in our homes either. I have told plenty of my girlfriends who are going on a date, or just going to a club, "Girl, grab a few condoms, and a lube packet, and carry them in your purse, just in case."
Yes, that's how deep it is. Our lives depend on us being proactive.
And with that being said, I do agree with will.i.am that people need to have conversations before they have sex. But not as a means for the woman to appear virtuous, or for the man to give his seal of approval on them picking up Magnums at the nearest Walgreens.
The types of conversations that I am referring to are ones in which people are getting on the same page about condom use and the importance of having safer sex. Because unlike in will.i.am's dating utopia, not everyone in the real world likes to use condoms or has each other's best interest in mind. And people need to be able to make a decision about whether that's the kind of person they want to be sleeping with.
What's also dangerous about will.i.am's comments are that they are made with no real understanding of how gender inequality makes it difficult for many women to even negotiate condom use in the first place. We live in a day and age in which, if a man doesn't want to use a condom, in many instances a condom isn't used -- especially in cases in which the woman is economically dependent on the man; the woman has a history of sexual abuse and domestic violence; the woman suffers from low self-esteem; or the woman really wants to be in a relationship with the man and doesn't want to lose him.
So, even if it's just will.i.am's opinion, shaming women for possessing condoms of their own free will sets us all back, not forward.
In the end, I know that I won't be taking outdated and irrelevant advice from will.i.am. I have no intention of throwing out my overflowing stash of condoms and lube for the sake of appearing "respectable" for any man. But given how prevalent these sexist attitudes around women being empowered with respect to their bodies are in our society and the influence that will.i.am's words have on the more impressionable, I wish he would have given the issue some serious thought (or gotten his publicist's approval first) before he spoke -- because you never know who is really listening.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Amid a swirl of foreign and border challenges, President Barack Obama is embarking on the one mission that has regularly proved a winner for him — raising money for his fellow Democrats.
Obama on Tuesday was starting a three-day West Coast trip, scheduled to attend at least five fundraising events in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles less than four months ahead of midterm elections that could change Washington's balance of power.
The trip comes as Obama is dealing with a series of high-profile tests of his presidency, from Eastern Europe to the Middle East to the Southern U.S. border. The downing of a Malaysian airliner over Ukraine last week, the eruption of war in Gaza between Israelis and Palestinians, and the humanitarian crisis caused by the influx of Central American minors seeking to cross the border has put a strain on the White House.
But on the fundraising trail Obama remains a potent draw among the Democratic Party's wealthy donors, who pay up to $32,400 to be in intimate settings with the president.
The fundraising highlight of the trip will be a Democratic National Committee event Wednesday at the Beverly Hills home of Shonda Rhimes, the producer of the ABC series "Scandal," a drama set in modern-day Washington. Kerry Washington, who plays the lead role in the show, is among the hosts.
White House officials say Obama is more than able to carry out all his duties and attend to crises while on the road.
"When the president travels, he travels with an array of staff and advisers and communications equipment that allows him to do his job from wherever he happens to be," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday. "And if it becomes clear that there's a need for him to come back to the White House in order to fulfill those functions, then we'll make a change in his schedule. Right now, it's not apparent that that's the case."[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72GUbt7wgSQ?w=330&h=197]
Obama did abandon one idea for the trip, however. The White House had been in touch with late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel about a presidential appearance on his show during the stop in Los Angeles.
"We elected not to do it this time, but hope we can arrange to do it in the near future," Earnest said.
So far this 2013-14 election cycle, Obama has attended 73 fundraising events for Democratic Party groups. During the 2009-10 midterm cycle, when Republicans won control of the House, Obama attended 98 fundraisers, according to CBS News White House reporter Mark Knoller, who keeps detailed records of presidential travels and events.
Obama has devoted much of his effort to the Democratic National Committee, which last month raised $9 million and cut its debt to $3 million from a one-time high of $23 million. Obama also will raise money for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the political arm of the party that assists Democratic House incumbents and candidates.
While the House is expected to remain in Republican hands after the election, the fate of the Democratic-controlled Senate is much more in question, raising the stakes for fundraising.
Obama has at least one bit of policy-driven business set aside for the trip. In Los Angeles on Thursday he plans to go to a community college to draw attention to jobs training, particularly for work requiring specialized skills, like health care.

These 60 hour burning candles are hand poured in Missouri. The 100% vegetable wax blend is made from renewable resources grown by American farmers. The cotton wick burns cleanly and the wax blend has 'superior fragrance holding capabilities that allows the scent to radiate further.' Plus they smell good while NOT giving you weird-chemical-scented-candle headaches. And they come with a neat aluminum top so they don't get dusty in between uses. That might be a little OCD but, lets face it, that's annoying. Finally, when you're done, they clean up perfectly for reuse as an outdoor tea light holder or a pretty decent tumbler. At $25.00 a pop you've got your bases covered. Waste not, want not!
Oh- right now we have: VERBENA: fresh, zingy citrus; EGYPTIAN JASMIN: clean floral- the oil of love!; CYPRESS and CASSIS : a little smokey, a little sweet – the scent ladies and gentlemen agree on; MOSS: i know, sounds like 'rain.' so it doesn't really smell like moss per say -its sandalwood with a crispy green edge…. another unisex winner!
2 Responses to "khall candles back in stock"
I wanted to inquire about the lovely ceramic french presses that show up on your home page. I did not see them in your inventory for purchase. Do you have them for available for purchase? I would love one in the gorgeous aqua color that I saw.
Thank you so much for looking into this. I look forward to your reply.

IMCOM leaders congratulate workforce
Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter and Command Sgt. Maj. Earl Rice
Installation Management Command
The Installation Management Command has the best workforce we have seen in each of our 30-plus years of service.
At every installation, base and depot we visit, we are impressed by the spirit, energy and teamwork exhibited by the IMCOM team.
We are just as inspired by the dedicated professionals in the IMCOM and region headquarters, who oversee operations that stretch around the globe from Japan and Korea, across the continental U.S., to Europe, and even into bases in Afghanistan. Simply said, no one touches our Soldiers, our Army families and our civilian workforce and retirees like we do everyday.
In August, we marked the 10th anniversary of the installation management team — first Installation Management Agency and then IMCOM. That means we have experienced 10 years of evolution in our mission, our workforce and our methods of installation service delivery.
Those who have been with the organization all or most of that time know it has been a constant learning experience in a business with really high stakes — the quality of life of our all-volunteer force. Sustaining such a high quality force relies heavily on us, the installation management professionals, succeeding in our mission.
The installation management team has performed magnificently this year, just as it has in past years. Our ability to deliver services every day ensures our Soldiers and families know we care about them and appreciate their service.
The entire Army is now affected by force and funding reductions. This means IMCOM will also reshape and reduce in size. This past year we accomplished all of our mandated reductions through voluntary actions. We also retrained and reassigned people within our IMCOM team to allow for personal growth and to keep our team together.
Even as we reduced our numbers, we approved for hire almost 2,000 positions across IMCOM. In fact, many of these are vacant, and I invite you to the IMCOM Enterprise Placement Program, or IEPP, to see what is there and if there is a position that interests you.
Our workforce development is second to none. Our IMCOM Academy, developmental assignments, the mentor program, IMCOM career program 29, and schools such as the Civilian Education System and the senior service colleges are providing immediate and positive return on investment in shaping our team for the future.
As we move into the year ahead, my goal is to create even more certainty for you. I want IMCOM leaders at every level to increase communication to build understanding and certainty for our team. We're getting ready for the next 10 years of world-class installation services, so we need to get it right now.
To all of our great civilians, thank you for your dedicated service. Have a super weekend and a great week ahead.
Army Strong!
Support and Defend.
IMCOM has developed a database called the IMCOM Enterprise Placement Program, or IEPP, which is a listing of all vacancies across IMCOM that employees are encouraged to review.
IEPP can be accessed through Army Knowledge Online at www.us.army.mil/suite/page/662838.

Venus Williams lifted the US to victory in their Hopman Cup tie against France on Tuesday.
The US pairing of Williams and John Isner beat the French team of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Mathilde Johansson 2-1 to remain unbeaten in the mixed teams tournament, but only after a remarkable comeback led by Williams when the Americans twice appeared on the brink of defeat.
After Tsonga beat an out-of-form Isner in straight sets, Williams looked down and out when she dropped the first set to Johannson and trailed 4-1 in the second.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion was all at sea against the 87th-ranked Johansson, appearing restricted in her movement and lacking the usual power in her game.
However, just when the cause looked lost, the world No. 24 climbed off the canvas to win in three sets, 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.
Johansson was breaking the Williams serve almost at will for most of the first two sets, but the American found her service range just in the nick of time and turned the match on its head.
The Americans then claimed the tie with a come-from-behind 6-7 (5/7), 6-2, 10-8 win in a match tiebreak in the deciding mixed doubles, where Williams again lifted them to victory as Isner continued to struggle with his game.
The eighth-ranked Tsonga made a perfect start to the new year by demolishing world No. 14 Isner in under an hour, 6-3, 6-2.
Tsonga easily blunted the power serving of the lanky American to win in just 55 minutes.
In another game, Former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone showed her fighting qualities as Italy beat Germany 2-1 yesterday.
Needing to win her singles match to keep Italy alive in the tie and the mixed-teams tournament, the world No. 35 was a set and a break down, while battling stomach pain, against little-known German Tatjana Malek.
However, she rallied determinedly to win in three sets.
Malek arrived from Miami to replace the injured Andrea Petkovic in the tournament less than 12 hours before her match.
The German recovered from a shaky start to stun her more fancied opponent in the first set.
Things were going to script when Schiavone won the first three games of the match, but the 112th-ranked Malek won the next eight games in succession as the veteran made a string of uncharacteristic, and often inexplicable, errors.
Schiavone's woes were summed up by the simple forehand error that handed the German the first set.
Just when an upset loomed, the 32-year-old Schiavone was able to claw her way back into the match as fatigue appeared to start affecting Malek.
Although she was well down on her best form, Schiavone was able to prevail 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Schiavone and teammate Andreas Seppi then clinched the tie with a 6-4, 7-5 win over Tommy Haas and Malek in the mixed doubles.
Haas had given the Germans the lead in the tie with a hard-fought straight-sets win over Seppi, 7-6 (7/3), 7-6 (9/7).
Seppi served for the first set and had three set points in the second, but it was the German who won the crucial points to take the match.
Haas' determined hustle paid off on match point, when his dogged defensive work opened up the opportunity for the forehand winner that sealed the win.
Earlier, Haas had given Germany a 1-0 lead by beating Seppi 7-6, 7-6.
Later yesterday, world No. 1 Novak Djokovic suffered a shock loss to Australian Bernard Tomic, two weeks before the defense of his Australian Open title.

Hundreds of people have died, 2 million have been displaced and 14 million lives have been disrupted by exceptionally heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan since July. The U.N. says that even more lives could be lost if aid doesn't arrive soon.
Here's how you can help:
Donate, donate, donate (cash)
The U.S. government and most major relief organizations say that one of the very best ways to help is through cash. Cash donations are easily transferred overseas, don't consume manpower and warehouse space, and can be used by volunteers for the most pressing issues at hand.
For general donations, text "SWAT" to 50555 to donate $10 to help flood victims (UN refugee agency and mGive).
For specific aid initiatives, you can look at various organizations that are involved in Pakistan flood relief efforts at InterAction.
A few organizations you can donate to include:
CARE (Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe)
USA for UNHCR (USA for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees)
IRC (International Rescue Committee)
Direct Relief International
Mercy Corps
UNICEF (U.N. Children's Fund)
Save the Children
Doctors without Borders
Concern Worldwide US
U.N. World Food Program
International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
Catholic Relief Services
Church World Service
Islamic Relief USA
World Vision
International Medical Corps
Volunteer/non-monetary contributions
If you have specific skills (medicine, engineering, communications, etc.) and want to volunteer your time and energy, go to Center for International Disaster Information.
What is the U.S. government doing?
Go to USAID (United States Agency for International Development) to find out.

As Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) members gathered to meet in Mauritius, a flotilla of local fishermen held a joint protest with Greenpeace, calling on the IOTC to act now and clampdown on overfishing. Greenpeace is also attending the IOTC meeting, urging delegates to ban transfers of fish and wasteful and destructive fishing practices to protect the region's declining tuna stocks.
