kitchen firsts: pasta with kale, parmesan, and toasted garlic breadcrumbs
Kale is one of those kitchen firsts where I've eaten the stuff a thousand times, but never actually cooked it for myself. You see, I kind of always thought that I didn't like kale, or that it was ok but not worth my time or effort to actually cook at home. But in the name of getting back on the kitchen firsts wagon before the end of the year, it seemed high time to go and get a bunch of kale, and little did we know we'd be back to the market the next day to get some more.
You see, we got a bit distracted with our first bunch of kale, but were too excited about the prospect of this pasta to wait to make it. So another bunch came home with us, and I'm so glad that it did because this pasta was a kale revelation! I was a little skeptical about it, even up to the very moment that I tossed all the parts of the dish together, because tasting the parts separately (the spicy breadcrumbs, braised kale, pasta, and parmesan) it really didn't seem like anything to write home about. But it is way more than the sum of its parts, and I feel confident saying that this dish would appeal to kale-lovers and kale-haters alike– the kale becomes mild and tender as it braises, the cheese gives a little rich nuttiness, the lemon gives a nice lift, and the spicy, garlicky breadcrumbs provide a nice aromatic crunch. All in all, a very satisfying pasta for a late autumn dinner, and one you can feel good about eating too!
roasted brussels sprout casserole with mushrooms and crispy shallots
This dish, an amazing marriage of roasted brussels sprouts, savory sauteed mushrooms, parmesan, and crispy shallots, was probably the most successful new dish we tried at our fake Thanksgiving party this year. And that's saying something, considering how happy we were with the turkey and stuffing! It manages to be everything that a homey green bean casserole is (comforting, traditional, delicious), but elevated to a new level by fresh mushrooms, homemade shallot rings, and the roasted sprouts. I love green beans, but the sprouts have a more complex flavor and texture that works well here, and even sprout-haters tend to like them in this dish. It's miles away from any gloop-laden thing you've had from a can, but still somehow very close to home.
kitchen firsts: paneer curry
Paneer (fresh Indian cheese) is an ingredient that I've been waiting to do as a kitchen first all year, and a chilly fall evening seemed like the perfect time to whip up some warming curry. I waded through recipe options just enough to notice that there are about a million things you can do with paneer (or rather, a million different recipes for two or three things to do with paneer), and we settled on a nice looking mattar paneer recipe (paneer and pea curry) that sounded perfect for a blustery day. We adapted things along the way just a bit and were delighted to find that this dish can be really easy! Perfect for a weeknight, and a great way to incorporate a satisfying vegetarian recipe into your repertoire.
kitchen basics: how to roast fresh chiles
As the weather cools down, we all find ourselves drawn to more warming foods. Lately we've been making things like chiles rellenos casserole and burritos, as well as tossing strips of roasted peps into stews and other warming Mexican dishes, and consequently I've found myself roasting up anaheims and poblanos more often than usual! Roasty pepper strips are actually pretty versatile (try topping a burger or sandwich with them!), so I thought I'd share a little basics post to document the ropes. If you have any favorite recipes using roasted chiles, let me know in the comments, and I hope to share our recipe for baked chiles rellenos soon!
pasta with fresh (uncooked) tomato sauce
Before anyone says anything, let me just say that I do indeed get that it is autumn now. It's October no less, and posting a recipe that relies heavily on the sweetest, freshest, juiciest tomatoes you can find might seem a tad bizarre, or even, uh, rather embarrassingly late, especially when it is following a recipe using butternut squash. And perhaps it is almost too late, but I have also noticed that many parts of the country have been enjoying a bit of an extended summer, with warm temperatures and lots of sun, and at least around these parts there are still quite a few late-late-season tomatoes to be found at markets and in gardens. I meant to make a fresh tomato sauce for pasta all summer long, and unfortunately it took the last of the summer tomatoes hanging around in October to make me remember what I almost skipped. Pasta with a fresh tomato sauce is incredibly delicious, easy, and refreshing in a way that pasta almost never is, and I'm so glad we finally made this that I'm going to share even though it is admittedly almost too late! If there are any last tomatoes left in your neck in the woods that are worth eating, go get them, and make yourself this dish.
kitchen firsts: pasta with butternut squash, spinach, and bacon
We've been trying a variety of new pasta combinations lately, and this one, tossed with roasted butternut squash, wilted spinach, crumbled bacon and parmesan, really won me over. I've never cooked with butternut squash before, partly because they are sort of big and intimidating-looking (I didn't realize we could use up a whole one in one dish), but also because Stephen professes to hate them, along with other orange things like sweet potatoes, yams, and all other winter squashes. It hasn't ever bothered me that I couldn't cook these things for Stephen, but when I saw a recipe for pasta with butternut squash that also featured bacon, parmesan, and spinach, I thought that maybe, just maybe, I could convert him to embrace the squash.
kitchen firsts: pasta with braised fennel and bacon
Fennel is not something that I grew up with, and my natural reaction to it (and all the other foods in its anisey-scented family, for that matter) is love-hate. When I smell fennel cooking, I find it sort of intoxicating, like I just can't stop smelling it, but I'm not sure if I want to scarf it up or throw it out. For this reason, and since I don't have a lot of recipes in my repertoire that feature fennel, I have never cooked with fennel myself (although I have purchased it and then wasted it with the intention of doing a kitchen first like three times). But this time, I finally found a recipe that excited me enough to follow through. This pasta was fragrant and spicy without being too much, and it was a welcome change from all those everyday-tasting tomato based pastas I get so tired of. The fennel is braised in a flavorful broth with lemon, red pepper flakes and bacon until it's tender and mellow, then tossed with pasta and parmesan. It was so good that I'm 100% positive I will never waste a fennel bulb again! In fact, I may go get another one tomorrow.

In a bid to shore up flagging economic growth, India moved to make it easier for companies to get bureaucratic approval for infrastructure projects -- proposing that departments set up "special purpose vehicles" for "hand-holding project proposals, bringing them to a certain level of maturity and then pushing them into the bidding pipeline."
The only trouble, according to Forbes India, is that this plan has been tried before -- with only limited success.
Bureaucratic approvals are one of the biggest hurdles for infrastructure projects, or just about anything. But the bottom line always comes down to politics, according to the magazine.
RV Shahi, chairman of Energy Infratech, a power sector consultant. Shahi, a former secretary in the ministry of power and the architect of the UMPP scheme, says that projects also get better valuations when all clearances are bundled before auction.
He says it becomes very difficult for private parties to even get appointments with government officials responsible for granting approvals. But a senior government official can easily expedite the process, he says. As power secretary, Shahi used to a hold a 45-minute meeting at 1 pm every Friday with just UMPPs on the agenda.
The meeting was attended by representatives of the environment ministry, state governments, bankers, etc. Decisions were taken quickly and hurdles sorted out immediately. Since Shahi was second only to the minister of power, he could call up the highest officials in other ministries and state governments to get things moving. That ensured the scheme took off the ground quickly and three projects were auctioned away within a year of it being announced.
In other words, you can set up all the special purpose vehicles you want. But (again, as is pervasive throughout Indian life) nothing happens unless a senior government official takes ownership of the project and cracks the whip.

MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Dear Herr Stief - Moritz,
Ive spent the entire day thinking about your note
Truly it touched me it did that you would think of me as a friend
Of course, I was saddened to hear that
Your exams came off rather less well than you'd hoped
And that you will not be promoted, come fall
And, yet, I must say straightaway that fleeing to America is hardly the solution
And, even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request
Uh huh uh huh uh huh well, fine
Not like its even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Sorry, it wont change been there before
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel to read into my refusal any lack of affection
On the contrary, as Melchiors mother, I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss
The thing that sucks- okay?- for me
A thousand bucks, Im, like, scott free
And I mean, please Thats all I need
Get real, Jose!
By now you know the score
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Should you like, I am ready to write your parents
I will try to convince them that no one couldve worked harder last semester
And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune
Could have the gravest possible effect on
You wanna laugh, its too absurd
You start to ask, cant hear a word
Youre gonna crash and burn
Right, tell me more
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me
Your what shall we call it? veiled threat that should escape not be possible
You would take your own life
Okay, so now we do the play
Act like we so care. No way!
Youll write my folks? Well, okay
Babe, thats how it goes
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
My dear boy, the world is filled with men
Businessmen, scientists, scholars even who have done rather poorly in school
And yet, gone on to brilliant careers
Consider for example our friend...
They freak or won't
You toe the line
You tell your soul, Just kill some time.
Will it quit? It will until they dont
Theyre not my home, not anymore
Not like they so were before
Still, Ill split, and theyll like
Well, who knows?
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
In any case, I assure you that
Your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you
Or, on your relationship with Melchior
Uh huh uh huh uh huh well, fine
Not like its even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Okay, so nothings changed heard that before
You wanna laugh, its too absurd
You start to ask, cant hear a word
You wanna crash and burn
Right, tell me more
You start to cave, you start to cry
You try to run, nowhere to hide
You want to crumble up, and close that door
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
So, head high, Herr Stiefel!
And do let me hear from you soon
In the meantime, I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours,
Fanny Gabor
Just fuck it right? Enough, thats it
Youll still go on well, for a bit
Another day of utter shit
And then there were none
And, then there were none
And, then there were none
And, then there were none

Seahawks insider Brandon Choate brings us his list of top five positions the Seattle Seahawks need to shore up. With Marshawn Lynch and Red Bryant re-signing, and the team adding Jason Jones and Matt Flynn, the Seahawks can focus elsewhere and fill other positions that are lacking depth. LB, DE, Offensive line and RB seem to be the most glaring openings in his opinion.
Spend Paul's Money! Five positions the Seahawks still need to shore up
Matt Flynn is the missing piece to my Seahawks Super Bowl dream
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Insider Steve weighs in on the signing of Matt Flynn. Which he says gives the Seahawks flexibility in spades. Not only do they have their QB of the future, but now there is no need to waste valuable 2012 NFL Draft picks. Use the draft to fill in the holes that remain at left guard, defensive end, and linebacker. If Visanthe Shiancoe decides to sign elsewhere maybe tight end.
Quarterback Matt Flynn signs with the Seattle Seahawks
NWSB Managing Editor reports today that in 2012 NFL Free agency the Seattle Seahawks have signed former Green Bay Packers quarterback and prized free agent Matt Flynn. He'll be in competition for the starting quarterback job in Seattle with incumbant Tarvaris Jackson. Pete Carroll has got another QB to try and build this franchise around. We hope it works. More NFL signing to follow hopefully with Visanthe Shiancoe.

MSC Nastran 2018.0 Delivers Extended Modeling Capabilities and Up to 5x Faster Solver Performance
NEWPORT BEACH, CA, November 17th, 2017 – MSC Software Corporation, a global leader in simulation software and services, today announced the release of MSC Nastran 2018.0.
MSC Nastran is the world's premier FEA solver that enables simulation of various multidisciplinary engineering problems for aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, manufacturing, and other high-tech industries.
Today's industry requirements call for design of complex structures that consist of multiple components, parts, and assemblies. Each component represents a section of the overall structure and can come from different departments or suppliers. MSC Nastran 2018.0 delivers new assembly modeling techniques that allow engineers to easily create, combine, and manage multilevel assemblies for complex structural models.
With the rise of industry standards, engineers are shifting towards novel designs that utilize lightweight and high strength materials for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness simulations. Most of these materials share similar characteristics in which their damping and stiffness properties can change with frequency. Some examples include:
- SFRP (Short-Fiber Reinforced Plastics) Laminates
- Laminated Glass Windscreens
- Laminated Metals (two sheets of steel with a viscoelastic damping layer)
- Carbon Fibers
In order to capture the true behavior of these laminates, it is important to account for their frequency and spatial dependent properties during the analysis. Engineers can now expand the depth of their simulations by accurately implementing the frequency dependent material properties of MSC Nastran 21018.0 for design and noise abatement of automotive and aerospace vehicles.
Most complex structures have very large model sizes thus, requiring an extended period of time to solve. MSC Nastran 2018.0 features High Performance Computing (HPC) methods that are enhanced to provide optimal solution and deliver a faster turnaround for large simulation models. The efficient calculation methods of MSC Nastran 2018.0 can accelerate your simulation and result in up to 5x performance gain for many models.
About MSC Software
MSC Software is one of the ten original software companies and a global leader in helping product manufacturers to advance their engineering methods with simulation software and services. As a trusted partner, MSC Software helps companies improve quality, save time, and reduce costs associated with design and test of manufactured products.

Works! Works! Realy easy once you do it a few times. Get it - use it.
Works fine mounted images to install and play M$ Combat Flight Sim 3.
Works great. Easy install and pretty self-explanatory to use.
very good S/w that too a freeware......
Hello,I downloaded some software from the MSDN Acedemic Alliance web site. It comes as an ISO image and I wanted to burn it to a virtual DVD so I downloaded MagicDisc. However, I couldn't figure out how to do it with what I got from the MagicDisc installation. When i ran the software, the help screen didn't look anything like the software that was running on my machine. So I uninstalled the software and just burnt it to a DVD.
I tried it, and I think it is wonderfull, but to be honest I used it 3 or 4 times, but I think it is great, thank you very much.

Rude People...
Now as I come out of edit and see him... he's straight out of 1978, giant afro hair...clap doctor white pimp suit, platform shoes. Take a look at the conversation...and this is the part I don't get.Now egowise, what makes my opinion important is that I pay nearly $300USD every month for the sim he's visiting... he wasn't invited...and he chose to teleport in. The button he asked about? There are viewers where as a manager or estate owner you have access to a menu with a GTFO button... one clic and pooof the problem child is gone from your sim.
Could have I been more polite..hmm...maybe. On the other hand I believe in being proactive and holding people to their advertised beliefs. You publish a crude profile statement? You could be totally shocked at what can come out of my mouth.
Followers of this blog or me in person see I don't say words I couldn't use in front of a child, unless....... unless you just think you can treat me disrespectfuly.
Yes I do realise it's not a spiritual point of view...
Maybe in my next life.
And so it goes
I do love you all {well at the moment...most of you}, brinda
Finally At Rest...
Fifteen residents and friends came to pay their respects and to show their love.
It makes me believe that what we have here is something very special.
Thank you all.
Twinkles dad is now at rest..... There are really only two very important times in any life...birth and death. We celebrate birth in most present day cultures and decry death. We don't remember our birth just as we don't remember our last death. That doesn't mean they didn't happen. Speaking for Twinkle, I want to thank all of you that laid a rose at the Benares telehub in memorial to her father. I realize many of you have never met Twin...and may never meet her, that doesn't change what you have done for her and actually all of us. I see your participation at this impromtu memorial as a sign of the community spirit I have wanted for Benares from the day I started this journey. Thank you again And so it goes As always my love to you Twinkle
And my love to you all, brinda Namaste नमस्ते

Abilities and Possiblities...
It's obvious that in Secondlife one often never knows the true persona we see. One of the most erudite avatars I've met here was a furry when we first met. A very close friend is blonde haired and blue eyed in Secondlife...trust me, I've visited the part of the world she lives in... but, after two weeks in Northeast India I never saw anyone with blonde hair.Secondlife has the great potencial to expand acceptance in all worlds. For instance, there are a lot of men who really don't like women... I don't mean those men have chosen an alternative lifestyle necessarily, they just don't see women as their equal. In secondlife everyone is equal according to their ability. These abilities are color, gender, and ethnicaly blind. The possiblities are both endless and boundless and it really would be a sad thing to screw this chance up. And so it goes My love to you all, brinda Namaste नमस्ते

********************Gin Bolissima had a dream here********************* There is always a fine line between allowing your residents the freedom to do whatever it is they have chosen for their Secondlife experience {provided it fits the covenant agreed to upon taking possession of that parcel} and allowing behavior to go on that is morally wrong. Yes, all here are ostensibly adults, and all of us are equal... and you know darn good and well some of us are more "equal" than others. By default, I allowed someone to take emotional advantage of another... one that really didn't have the strength to emotionally defend herself. I still miss my sweet island girl... I should have done better, she deserved better. A thank you to Andor for the beautiful roses and vase. I still have the tier box. ********* Other news... I got an IM this morning from Kate, the manager from The Kasbah music venue, asking about a place for a home. I sent her a notecard with landmarks to these parcels... **************************Northwest West************************************************East Sim-Northwest corner********************* ************************Northshore Mainside*************************** I hope Kate joins us... she was recommened by Porter and all the staff at leogans Kasbah club are great hardworking people. **************** I had a long chat with Twinkle yesterday. She is going to do some jpegs for me to send to Paisley Beebe. Perhaps we can expand... while I have a very small presence in Inworldz I'm not ready to abandon Secondlife just yet. Tomorrow I want to post some of the pictures I took today around Benares. Nothing serious, I just noticed again today how much whimsy we have...it's a good thing! **** And so it goes I love you all, brinda Namaste नमस्ते

The Old Bushmill's Distillery, Irish Whiskey at the Causeway Coast
In 2008, Bushmills celebrated 400 years of local distilling history…a unique, unbroken whiskey-making tradition still very much alive today at the Old Bushmills Distillery. Just two miles from the spectacular Giant's Causeway, the distillery lies in an area of outstanding natural beauty which is rich in history and folklore.
At Bushmills, the visitor can observe the craft and skills of making Irish whiskey. The guided tour includes the ingredients and processes, spring water from Saint Columb's Rill and the finest malted barley, to the art of triple distillation in copper stills and ageing in oak casks. Of course, no visit would be complete without enjoying a complimentary glass of Bushmills whiskey.
Today, Bushmills is a well known name for smooth, distinctive Irish whiskey. The whiskey maturing process takes time, between five and thirty years depending on the blend. Often there are around 171,000 barrels on site maturing. Recent accolades include a review by the New York Times in 2006 describing Bushmills 10 year Malt as "the best Irish whiskey".
Tours of the distillery and tastings run daily and last around 45 – 60 minutes.
The visitor centre is open March to October: Monday – Saturday from 9.15 – 16.45 and Sunday from 12.00 – 16.45. The last tour each day is at 4.00pm (alternative timings for winter months)
Children under 8 are welcome to visit the Distillery but are not permitted to join guided tours.
For enquiries please telephone +44 (0) 28 2073 3218+44 (0) 28 2073 3218 or email email@example.com
The Lodge Hotel is very near to the Bushmill's Distillery – only 10mins drive away. It is therefore an excellent central location to base yourself for your visit to the Distillery, The Giant's Causeway and the North Coast..

Runion engines has been in business since the middle 60's. They are in decatur il. 429 7812 is their phone#. Olie started the business, his son Allen does all the racing engines. They do turn out alot of engines a year plus freshen the engines of their customers. Lately they have been busy straightening out other brands of engines. They do all of our work, runion don't build junk. He also doesn't throw his engines together, so it may take him a little longer than a large engine shop but I know you will be very happy with his work. They have a dyno along with all the rest of the equiptment. We have been doing business with them for over 25 years and they are one of the racing guys you can trust.

I have just returned from a really inspiring crime fiction conference held at the beautiful Corsham Court, Captivating Criminality: Crime Fiction, Traditions and Transgressions, organised by my prolific colleagues in the field at Bath Spa, Fiona Peters and Rebecca Stewart. They did a fantastic job! For more information about the conference and speakers, follow this link: http://captivatingcriminality.bathspa.ac.uk/
I gave a paper on Australian true crime, and am hoping to develop it into a publication before long. I also chaired a panel earlier that day. Am still buzzing from hearing the excellent papers on offer at the conference, and from taking part in the many interesting and thought-provoking discussions with colleagues that happened over the course of the two days I was there. Here is a picture of one of the handsome and friendly peacocks at Corsham Court! They were a colourful presence and even provided enthusiastic audience participation at times, as they voiced their appreciation of our efforts.

Reports linking Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, to PSG are false. According to Patrick Kluivert who is the club's, sporting director, the chance of Wenger moving to Paris is zero percent.
Wenger, whose contract at Arsenal is due to expire this summer, has been linked with a shock move to the French capital. Current PSG coach Unai Emery has performed below expectations since joining the club this summer. His team were humiliated out of the Champions League by Barcelona, despite leading 4-0 from the first leg, and are also trailing AS Monaco in the French League 1.
There is no guarantee that Wenger will be offered a new deal by Arsenal after fans turned on him, demanding his sacking by the board. Arsenal's board member Ivan Gazidis has admitted that the fan's opinion will play a major role in determining whether Wenger stays on or not.
Whether Wenger is sacked or given a new deal, one thing is sure, he will not be the coach of PSG in the near future.

FESTO's Checkbox family, a compact optoelectronic system, can provide contactless product identification, position detection, quality checking, sorting, and picking.
All of this extremely dependably in situations where conventional and mechanical solutions have long since reached their limits.
According to Festo engineers the checkbox concept was developed by Festo to meet the high quality requirements of the company's own production operations and overcome the weaknesses of conventional solutions.
The top development objectives were high reliability, ease of operation and robust construction.
Checkbox is a combination of an imaging system and conveyor and ejector mechanisms. It uses its integrated camera to analyse even difficult conveyed workpieces continuously on the basis of their contours and thus detect position and quality.
Checkbox is thus suitable for rotationally-symmetrical workpieces and pre-oriented workpieces of any desired shape, diameters of 0.5 - 80mm and lengths of 3 - 80mm.
When confronted with complex workpiece shapes, different workpiece types and high cycle rates, mechanical sorting systems soon reach their limits.
The contactless checking method used by Checkbox eliminates wear on conveyed workpieces, while the integrated quality check ensures consistently high product quality. Reliable feeding reduces system downtime and increases the availability of automatic assembly machines.
All Checkbox units are easy to operate and can "learn" different workpieces by means of their teach-in function - with no need for programming.
When changing over workpieces, the feed system can be reset at the touch of a button. Data for up to 48 different workpieces can be stored and can thus be sorted using the same system.
This not only results in increased reliability and a saving of time - it also eliminates the need for separate conveyor drums.
The modular system concept allows flexible installation, even in existing production lines. Users can choose the range of functions they require, and their Checkbox systems can "grow" at a later time as needed.

By: Debbie Pettitt
You've gone through the preliminaries.
You've collected all your household vital records, interviewed relatives, gathered additional records from living relatives and followed-up on some of the leads that were developed. Now, you're stuck and not sure what to do next in your genealogy research.
If you've worked your way far enough back, it might be time to start checking the Census.
But first, you'll want to understand that while the Census Bureau collects some great genealogical information, it has the responsibility of confidentiality. As a result, the Decennial Census of Population and Housing on individuals does not become available to the public until after 72 years.
That's why you have to have worked your way far enough back in your research before you'll find the Census helpful.
But here's what you'll really like ... not only will the Census records help you locate where an acestor lived, after 1840 the Census collected age, place of birth, occupation, personal wealth, education, spouse, children, hired hands, and even immigration information. A gold mine for genealogists.
Copies of the original decennial census forms from 1790 through 1930 are available on microfilm for research at the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC (http://www.archives.gov/), at Archives regional centers, and at select Federal depository libraries throughout the United States. In addition, these records are available at various other libraries and research facilities throughout the United States.
You can also check with the reference librarian at your local library and see if they're set up to borrow microfilm through the National Archives' census microfilm rental program.
There's something else you're really going to like ... immigration records are also on microfilm at the National Archives. These records have been collected for all major U.S. ports since 1820. They include Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans. The western ports of San Franciso and Seattle are also archived, though those records weren't started until late in the 19th Century.
Here's what these immigration records include: the full name, age, sex, place of origin, and destination for every passenger on the ship. The records even include those who were born or died during the voyage.
And there's more. You can also track down some naturalization records through the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. Naturalization is the process by which a a person becomes an American citizen. By law, a person can be naturalized in any "regular" court. The Immigration and Naturalization Service has records for the entire country beginning in 1906, but before this time, the procedure will only be located in the records of the court where it took place. These records often provide a person's birth date and location, occupation, immigration year, marital status and spouse information, witnesses' names and addresses, and more.
For Pre-1906 Naturalizations:
Contact the State Archives for the state where the naturalization occurred to request a search of state, county, and local courts records.
Contact the NARA regional facility that serves the state where naturalization occurred to request a search of Federal court records
For Naturalizations After 1906:
After 1906, the courts forwarded copies of naturalizations to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Naturalizations from Federal Courts are held in the NARA's regional facilities for the Federal courts for their area. Learn more: http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/naturalization/
Here are some additional resources that you might find helpful for learning learn more about the Census and how to access all the incredible information available to genealogy researchers:
USGenWeb Census Project
U.S. Census Bureau's Genealogy Page
Census Finder
There's nothing quite as exhilarating as uncovering new information about your ancestors. If you've reached a point where you aren't quite sure what to try next in your genealogy research, The Census might just be your best bet. Even if you aren't at that point, it's a resource that you should familiarize yourself with. Sooner or later, it's likely that's where your research is going to led you.

To me, the most important feature of a Bible is the paper. And the most important specification of the paper is its opacity. Because of their length, Bibles are printed on thin paper. How well the paper shields the reader from what is printed on the other side, not to mention the next page, is crucial.
Every edition of the New Cambridge Paragraph Bible is printed on different paper stock. Let me review them, from best to worst. Though I haven't seen it, I will assume that the two-volume Folio Society edition, which is printed on Abbey Wove paper, is the best. At $975, it should be!
The single-volume Folio Society edition must be next. The publisher says it has thicker paper than most other Folio Society books - which is great, but it costs $150.
Among the affordable editions of the NCPB, the cheapest one has the next best paper. The Penguin Classics edition, a two-inch thick paperback book, uses a sturdy paper that keeps glimpses of upcoming pages to a minimum.
Slightly less opaque is the paper used in the First Cambridge edition, now sadly out of print. The decent paper stock and the printer's careful line-matching ensure that you really only notice the text that is printed on the reverse side of the page when reading the poetry sections.
Last, and I'm afraid least, is the Revised Cambridge edition. This is especially unfortunate because it is the only affordable edition of the NCPB published in hardback or leather bindings. And it's the only edition available either with or without the Apocrypha.
I suppose only the paper in a lectern Bible is truly opaque (even the picture of Judith 16 in the two-volume Folio Society edition reveals some show-through) but the closer one can get to that ideal in a personal-size Bible, the better.

Plutos Moons being in Chaos I started thinking about The Three Body problem again and realized that one things which made it such an increasingly unpleasant reading experience was how pretty much all of the female characters ended up being portrayed. I greatly enjoyed the first part of the book (about the first third I think) with the pieces about the cultural revolution and the establishment of the various POV characters, but as the plot progressed (along with the increasingly silly science and illogical activities) it became more and more apparent that if a morally reprehensible action or action born in weakness of character was about to take place, a female character was going to do it. It is good that at least there were female characters, in non-traditional roles even, but almost universally they were portrayed as selfish and lacking a moral core.
There was a greater diversity of behavior and character in the male cast of the book and apparently reprehensible actions by certain male characters were treated as heroic, so there was a distinct difference in framing. Yes, I know, almost no one actually seems to be "good" person - another reason the book got so wearing to read. But seriously, it felt increasingly like I was being slapped in the face with this and since I grew up reading Edgar Rice Burroughs, Heinlein and lots of "Golden Age" fiction featuring covers with women in improbably tight space suits, it takes some pretty overt text for me to pick up on it.
The other thing I realized, was that it is important for me that the peripheral characters, and the wider world in general, actually matter in the story (more than just the stereotypical "we must save the world" trope"). I will try to explain with an example - a while back I was reading an on-line discussion where the topic of books came up and several recommendations were made - one book in particular got several enthusiastic endorsements so I downloaded the preview from Amazon, though it was pretty interesting, and bought the whole thing. I read it in less than a day (I was home sick) and found the world-building to be compelling and the stratification of the society well presented. I really wanted to see where this was all going (it was the first book of a trilogy) - but instead of doing anything with the world and the axillary characters, for the conclusion of the book, the author actually destroyed everything - literally blew it all up. Only our two protagonists survived. And the book framed this as a happy ending - the "bad guys" got what they deserved and the way it was presented in the text it didn't matter that this took out entire rest of the population. I was appalled.
Protagonist centered morality writ large.
I realized that this is one of the things that has been a major turn-off for me in lots of the popular books I have read in the past few years. This concept that as long as our POV character is okay, nothing else matters.
Well, actually, I have discovered that it matters to me. I don't find anything particularly compelling or heroic in characters that survive or thrive by stepping over the bodies of the remainder of the cast. I am also much more interested in a book that describes a character's actions than I am in a book that just tells me over and over that a character is a "hero."
This is one (of several) reasons why virtually all of the short fiction just fell totally flat for me. Many of the protagonists/POV characters were unappealing or simply awful people (like in "The Day the World Turned Upside Down", "The Journeyman: In the Stone House" and Flow) and/or were only out for themselves - giving no cares for the wider world. Simply yuck.
All of this is an extremely round-about way of getting to one of the reasons that I liked The Goblin Emperor and both Ancillary Justice and Ancillary Sword so much. In each of these worlds, other people mattered to the protagonists. It wasn't enough for them simply to satisfy their own needs/desires. Maia and Breq both care about other characters, sometimes even when they don't necessarily want to. They care not just about their love interest or in book "family" - they care, in the abstract, about people in general. About society as a wider concept. This I like. I like it a great deal and want to see more of it.
For today's Book Beginnings on Friday, hosted by Rose City Reader, here is the beginning of Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie - the second book in the Imperial Radch series and current Hugo nominee for Best Novel ...
"Considering the circumstances, you could use another lieutenant." Anaander Mianaai, ruler (for the moment) of all the vast reaches of Radchaai space, sat in a wide chair cushioned with embroidered silk. This body that spoke to me – one of thousands – looked to be about thirteen years old. Black clad, dark-skinned. Her face was already stamped with the aristocratic features that were, in Radchaai space, a marker of the highest rank and fashion. Under normal circumstances no one ever saw such young versions of the Lord of Radch, but these were not normal circumstances.
From page 56 of Ancillary Sword for The Friday 56 hosted at Freda's Voice ...
In my quarters, Kalr Five, disquieted by the day's events but of course expressionless, had my supper waiting for me – a bowl of skel and flask of water, common soldier's mess. I suspected Ship had suggested it to her but didn't query to confirm that suspicion. I'd have been content eating skel all the time, but it would have distressed Five, and not only because it would have deprived her of the opportunity to filch tastes of non-skel delicacies, a cherished perquisite of serving the captain or the officers in the decade room.I have seen several complaints on-line that Sword suffers from second book slump but I have to say I disagree completely. I am really enjoyed the book thus far and find it neatly fills in details of world building, giving the reader a broader perspective on how truly terrible Radchaai civilization was and is. The reader gets to explore the here and now, before things go to heck in a hand-basket. It is significantly different than the first book in that the story is basically linear, so if it was the time tripping perspective of the first book that you liked best - where the story unfolds in a non-linear perspective and the chapters move backwards and forwards in time - well I admit, that is lacking. Also, if you expecting to plunge directly into a civil war, with huge multi-ship battles, well, that isn't what the book starts with either. So I can see how, depending on what your expectations were, the book can feel disappointing.
Me - I am happy and loving it so far. Also - the plot moves along briskly enough that I haven't worried much about logical issues in the stories (like the whole why ancillaries in the first place question). I am enjoying the ride.
So - for my Hugo's ballot I have a conundrum. Do I like Ancillary Sword best or The Goblin Emperor? This is gonna be a hard one.

Lord Higgins: My Lords, I apologise if I appear to be politically motivated in any way. Does the Minister believe that the move as regards ISAs will be favourably or unfavourably affected by the withdrawal of the tax credit proposal by the Chancellor?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, the tax credit proposal is the 10 per cent tax credit, which is the last vestige of payable tax credits that were dealt with in 1997. It is a transitional measure until April 2004 and it gives investors an opportunity to adjust their portfolios. The amounts of money are very small indeed. The average tax credit per investor is only Ł25. That is the amount that we are talking about. I do not believe that there is a significant effect on the viability of ISAs.
I turn to the Child Trust Fund. That will provide an initial government endowment of Ł250Ł500 for the poorest families. We are now engaged in detailed discussions including with the friendly societies. We expect the Child Trust Fund accounts to be available by 2005. We acknowledge that the Tunbridge Wells society and Children's Mutual gazumped us with the
The savings gateway also has potential for friendly societies, because it will support saving by low-income groups. We shall conduct pilots to get the detail right, but there will be an opportunity for low-income individuals to save up to Ł375, which the Government will match pound for pound. When I hear my noble friend Lord Graham talking about the "divi" and the Co-op and when I hear about the history of the friendly society movement, it all has a familiar ring, does it not?
I thank the noble Lord, Lord Naseby, and all those who have taken part in the debate, for the opportunity to discuss the friendly society movement. I hope that
The noble Baroness, Lady Maddock, asked me, in the terms of the Question, how we see the future of friendly societies. We hope that the movement continues its strong tradition, demonstrated over two centuries, of successfully adapting to changing environments and offering new or valued products to maintain its appeal to existing members and to attract new ones. The point is: they have been around for a very long time and they are still here. Long may that continue.

I did quite a lot of digging through the code to diagnose the same problem a couple of years back. The conclusion I came to then was the W3 validator was probably downloading the DTDs as well - but the performance hit was much smaller for validator.w3.org since the DTDs and validator are on the same LAN subnet (the validator may also have some caching mechanism for the downloaded DTDs like a local HTTP proxy) You should be able to get the files from http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/ and save them into sgml-lib/REC-rdfa-syntax-20081014 (looked painful to do by hand since there are a lot to save, and modules include other modules). There's also a list of the files in sgml-lib/catalog.xml - might be possible to write small script to download the missing ones.

More than 60 teachers and staff members at Banyan Elementary School have signed a petition supporting Assistant Principal Kha Dennard, whose job performance was reviewed as a result of complaints by parents.
Because Dennard has been absent this week, Banyan officials have not released findings of an investigation of complaints that she erred by not reporting stories of men bothering students near school grounds.
The Broward County school system's internal affairs unit completed its investigation of complaints against Dennard last Friday, but the information won't become public until Dennard is consulted, Banyan Principal Cheri Zahn said.
Dennard could not be reached for comment.
But staff members at the school said they believe the incident has been blown out of proportion.
"The students and staff can always depend on her proficiency and her ability to exercise good sound judgment," their petition said.
Dennard came under fire about two weeks ago when she failed to report an incident in which five students told her that strange men tried to lure them into a car as they walked to school.
A report was requested after at least two parents filed complaints that Dennard did not tell the parents or police what happened before allowing the students to walk home unescorted that day.
Tom Johnson, the school system's associate superintendent of personnel services, ordered the investigation because it is School Board policy to look into all parent complaints, he said.
But he has deferred the matter to Zahn, who will decide what action, if any, will be taken against Dennard.
Dennard previously said she did not report the matter right away because the story told her by students was sketchy.
She also said her failure to do so was not a violation of School Board policy.
Johnson agreed, saying there is no official policy on what school officials should do in such situations.
Instead, it is a matter left up to individual schools, he added.
"The investigation is routine," Johnson said. "We just try to see if the person acted responsibly or not."

Osmoflo who have their Global Headquarters at Direk have secured the contract to provide a custom built water treatment plant in Chile to Outotec. Originally founded in Finland, Outotec is now located throughout 6 continents and provides services in minerals processing, metals, energy and water. Osmoflo complimentary global presence and proven ability to deliver variety of bespoke projects in a variety of challenging locations across the globe was one of the factors that supported partnership in securing this project.
Outotec are expanding and modernising a copper smelter in Potrerillos, Chile, for a major copper mining company. Due to this expansion, there is a requirement for a water treatment plant to assist in treating cooling tower blowdown for water reuse in the facility. Osmoflo's extensive experience in the mining industry showcased the required capability to secure the project.
Osmoflo is providing a custom-engineered plant to support the expansion, utilising a combination of ultra filtration followed by two pass brackish water reverse osmosis designed for high salinity/high recovery. The water that was typically discharged as blow down waste will now be recovered through the water treatment system and will be fed back into the circuit for reuse with some of the water being polished further for use in high purity applications.
As a part of Osmoflo's solution, the plant will also feature PlantConnect Vision automation technology allowing remote monitoring and control from Osmoflo's 24 hour Control Centre.
Being pre-packaged as discreet skids, the plant will be sea-freighted to Chile following pre-assembly and factory testing.
Although this is the first project between Outotec and Osmoflo, the two companies have been in collaboration, developing a range of water solutions, globally. "This partnership between Outotec and Osmoflo is quite unique in that it provides a combination of skill sets, mining technology with specialist water treatment and recycling.†Ajay Jaggi, Osmoflo's General Manager, Sales – Australia, APAC and Africa explains.
"This particular project also showcases Osmoflo's global ability, with engineering, project management and operations coming from Osmoflo in Australia, India and Chile.†Mr Jaggi continues.
The project is forecast to be completed in May of 2017.

The Copenhagen Distortion Festival Hits Norrebro...
On Thursday, the annual Copenhagen Distortion Festival hits Nørrebro. Last year it was a great evening, with the police even cooperating and closing down some streets to traffic until extremely late in the evening (as the music played on...). Tomorrow threatens to be even better - the weather looks to be just perfect, and the Festival gets more and more word of mouth and media attention every year. And it's good. Always. If you're into this sort of thing, at least occasionally.
On Friday the festival hits Vesterbro, and then on Saturday is the Final party. But there's something about a mid-week party that can be a welcome relief, even if only once in a while. And the area around Sankt Hans Torv is just the right size to have an intimately massive little happening.
Hopefully more to report shortly.

Meet sweet little precious Eliana. Katie and James are the happiest parents in the world now that they get to see and hold and love their perfect little baby girl. Boys, watch out! If Eliana's dimples are already this awesome and she is only a little over a week old- she is going to be breaking hearts all over town. Not to mention that she has this amazing little ringlet hair all over her head. If these photos don't make your day, I don't know what will:) Happy Friday!
She was completely performing for the camera for a whole 5 minutes- she just happened to have her eyes closed. She must have been having a really cool dream or something!

Sonakshi: I don't feel insecure in multi-starrer
Sonakshi Sinha who has only done solo films in her four years career, will now be seen in a multi-starrer flick in her upcoming film Action Jackson.
The young starlet who shot to fame with Dabang, has earned a stable niche in Bollywood and she does not get insecure of multi-starrer film. Action Jakson is her first film that has two more girls and she thinks that she is not a kind of person who gets insecure of cast, she cares more about the character she is playing. The actress says 'I knew it that there are two more girls in the film when I was signing it'.
Sonakshi has worked with superstars like Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan and this is her second movie with Ajay Devgan. The actress enjoyed working with both the girls Yami Gautam and Manasvi Mamgai, who are playing pivotal roles in Action Jackson.
The film directed by ace choreographer-turned-director Prabhudeva is slated to release on 5th December.

This has to have been one of the darkest periods in recent UK history with the horrendous terrorist events and then this awful fire at Grenfell Tower in London. My thoughts go to everyone who has been affected by these dreadful events, words cannot sufficiently express my feelings for both the victims and their families. It really makes no difference who you are, your culture, religion, colour or where you live, the death of a loved one is always difficult but to lose someone in such unnecessary and tragic circumstances makes it all the harder to accept.
Such is the grief across many parts of the country at this time you would think people would just want to pull together and support each other and to be fair probably for the vast % of the population that is exactly what is happening, however that does leave a small % of the population who can only see this as an opportunity to score points, create social unrest, try to dissolve the cohesion within communities and they have the audacity to say they are doing this on behalf of the victims.
these people should be ashamed of themselves, their behaviour is self centered, immoral and cruel, they are heartless self gratifying individuals.
We have had the BBC who have provided us with an ongoing barrage of intrusive coverage of these situations asking banal questions of people such as 'how do you feel about it?' or 'what did you see?', or pushing interviews with obviously distressed people to the point where these poor souls end up in tears; this to me represents abuse of people when they are at their most vulnerable. For god's sake do you really think people want to be seen on national T.V in such a distraught state – would the journalists what to be seen like that – I don't think so.
This type of journalism belongs in the gutter, these journalists are literally camping out in the middle of others grief hoping to grab any morsel of emotion/ visual distress that they can get. I do wonder how low in the gutter they would be prepared to go, and after all that they don't even get things factually correct. They have set up a practice now of following these events around the world – well actually lets be more accurate – around the western world, because they don't behave in this way if the incident is in the middle east/ a developing country. We have seen this behaviour most recently in Nice, Paris, Manchester, London. Frankly this obtrusive and invasive form of journalism is both obscene and immoral. Just how heartless do journalists think the rest of us are that we cannot empathise with people unless we see them crying on national TV.
This form of journalism is for ratings and has nothing to do with keeping the public informed. It has no place in a decent caring society because it is neither decent or caring. Believe me I have worked with many traumatised people over the years and they worry about having been seen in these circumstances, it only adds to their trauma. The BBC should be ashamed of themselves but having seen there response on Newswatch when this issue was raised it is clear – as indeed it seems to be with any criticisms, that the BBC see themselves as providing a service. According to them they are giving us what we want, so really it is our fault.
Well there's a surprise – I don't think!!
Perhaps we should be challenging this belief held by the BBC, I know from the Newswatch program I am not alone in feeling this is not the best way to present the news, but perhaps I am one of a minority – we won't know and neither will the BBC unless we all tell them. But hey perhaps that's a battle for another day.
I will end this blog by extending my heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected and my deepest thanks to the truly heroic members of the police, fire and ambulance services.
May your god be with you and support you in your hour of need

Playing in shallow waters
Weekend sojourns in hard to get to spots by the harbour in one of Sydney's many nooks and corners are the best. Hours spent idly playing in rock pools and shallow waters of shady spots with fishes swimming around my ankles and birds chirping close by are what life should be made of.
Obviously one dresses for lazy days in loungey clothing from the Motherland in bright colours. Nothing says comfort to me on hot days more than cotton, hand block-print flowy cotton to be exact. I have this same block print fabric in the same colours in an anarkali that I love and wear extensively that was documented here over four years ago.
