This Thursday the National Archives holds its Preservation EXPO in Washington DC so you can learn more about how to preserve a whole range of media that document family history as well as our national history.
We would love to have you come. But maybe you can't be in Washington DC March 14th to visit the National Archives Building for the Preservation EXPO. If not, here are tips to help your papers and photos last as long as possible.
How do I preserve my family papers and photos?
Proper storage and safe handling practices are key to preserving paper and photographs. Your personal documents last longer when stored in a stable environment similar to what you find comfortable yourself: 60-70 degrees F; 40-50% relative humidity (RH); with clean air and good circulation.
High heat and moisture accelerate the chemical processes that make paper brittle and discolored, and that deteriorate photos. Damp environments may cause mold growth or encourage pests that use the documents for food or nesting material.
So the central part of your home provides a safer storage environment than a hot attic, a damp basement, or a garage.
Light also damages paper and photographs, especially light with abundant ultraviolet such as fluorescent fixtures and daylight. Light exposure has cumulative and irreversible effects; they promote chemical degradation and fade inks and dyes. Permanent display of valuable documents is not recommended. Photocopies, digital images or photos of documents can be substituted for display.
Store personal papers in appropriate sized enclosures, a folder, box, portfolio, etc., that provide physical protection as well as protection from light and dust.
Use an enclosure made of stable permanent quality materials that will not contribute to the document's deterioration. See Mary Lynn Ritzenthaler's "Preservation of Archival Records: Holdings Maintenance at the National Archives" for information on storage and handling.
How can I safely mount my documents, memorabilia, and photos into albums or scrapbooks?
The method you use to assemble scrapbooks, photograph albums or memory books can enhance the preservation of the items or can cause irreversible damage.
Avoid mounting with the following materials: white glue, rubber cement, pressure-sensitive tapes and films, staples, or hot glue gun adhesives. These materials do not age well and can physically damage and discolor paper and photographs.
Avoid albums with self-stick pages ("magnetic pages") because the adhesive used on the mounting page is poor quality.
There are several safe alternatives for mounting. Valuable items such as birth certificates, family letters, and photographs should be mounted without use of glue or other adhesives. Use clear envelopes and sleeves made of stable plastics such as polyester and polypropylene to hold the materials and as album pages. Another good mounting method uses corners made from stable plastics (such as polypropylene and polyester) or from stable paper.
Plastic and paper corners used to mount photos should be made of a material that has passed the Photographic Activity Test (PAT). The PAT test determines if a storage material will cause fading or staining of photographs.
The PAT test, developed by the American National Standards Institute, appears in a national standard named ANSI IT9.16, Photographic Activity Test. Many manufacturers test their products with the PAT and advertise storage materials that have passed the PAT.
Paper corners to be used with paper memorabilia need to meet the standard for permanent paper ANSI/NISO Z39.48, Permanence of Paper for Publication of Documents in Libraries and Archives. This standard specifies the characteristics of paper that is long lasting and that will not harm documents with which it is in contact.
How should I frame and display my photographs and documents?
Decorative frames, available at many stores, are appropriate for everyday snapshots. Often these frames lack a mat or spacers to keep the document or photograph from contact with the glass, or have a poor quality acidic paper mat.
Unfortunately, many unmatted photos have been damaged or permanently stuck to glass when fluid seeped between the glass and photo. This fluid may come from liquid cleaner sprayed on frame glass or beverages spilled near the frame.
Never use liquid cleaners around photographs and artwork. Many cleaners are corrosive and can cause immediate fading and staining if they, or their vapors, come in contact with a photo or a document.
Mat important personal photographs or photographic artworks with museum quality mat board for the window mat and the backboard. Mat board for photos should have passed the ANSI IT9.16 Photographic Activity Test (PAT).
Photo corners work well to secure a photo to a backboard when the window mat will cover the photo edges and hide the photo corner. But do not use photo corners on unmounted prints larger than 20 x 24 inches, or very fragile photos.
Large or fragile photos should be attached to the backboard with stable paper hinges adhered to the back top edge of the photo and then secured to the backboard. Hinging should be left to a qualified framer or conservator.
Once a treasured photograph or document is properly matted and framed, do not display it in direct sunlight, or under bright lamps, near heat sources or in damp locations such as basements, kitchens or bathrooms. Typical diffuse home lighting is not harmful over the short term, but display in rooms that receive direct sunlight can cause rapid fading.
Light will cause fading and other irreversible damage that may become objectionable over time. So avoid extensive display of treasured documents and photographs that you want to pass on to future generations. Instead, make and display a duplicate copy while the original is stored safely in a storage container with other valued papers and keepsakes.

Question: I found my family in the 1940 Census, but I'm not sure what to do now. Is there something else I should be looking for?
— Jo Anna Worthington
Answer: Finding the record is only part of the game. The next step is to figure out how to use the information in it. I'll use George J. Hickman's family from the 1940 census as our example.
Step 1. Learn everything you can from the record.
The 1940 census has a lot of information. For now, we'll look at
- Names, ages, birthplaces, and relationships
- Residence in 1940 and 1935
- Occupation
Get started by selecting "View image."
Names, ages, birthplaces and relationships.
The image shows that George is living with his wife, Edna; four daughters, Doris, Deloris, Frances, and Betty Joyce; his son, George; and his Uncle William. Everyone was born in Virginia except Edna, who was born in West Virginia.
Doris and Deloris are both 8. Twins?
Uncle William is listed as single. He was likely never married; otherwise, he would probably be listed as divorced or widowed.
Where they lived in 1940 and 1935.
The Hickmans lived on Road #685 in Natural Bridge, Rockbridge County, Virginia.
Street names and addresses, when available, are listed vertically in column 1.
If the family lived in the same house in 1935, you'll see "Same House" in column 17, or if they lived in the same town but a different house, you'll see "Same Place." The Hickmans have an "R" in column 17. This R means rural and tells us they lived in another town with a population under 2,500.
What they did for a living.
Columns 28 and 29 tell us George was a tinner in the building industry, and Uncle William was a section hand for the railroad.
Step 2. Write down what you learn.
Don't tell yourself, "Oh, I'll remember this." You won't. Save the record to your Ancestry.com family tree. If you don't already have an Ancestry.com family tree, you'll have the option to create one using this record.
Also, take notes about what you find on a record – even consider creating a notebook with a page or tab for everyone in the family. That way you'll know where you found that key birth date or maiden name and you won't have to dig through all of the records you've discovered to find that information again.
Step 3. Ask new questions.
Every time you learn something new about your ancestors, chances are you'll end up with a few more questions, too. Here are some things we don't know about the Hickmans:
- Where exactly did they live in 1935? Why did they move?
- When did George and Edna marry?
- When did Edna move to Virginia?
- Why was Uncle William living with the family
- Were Doris and Deloris twins?
- What is a tinner? What did a section hand do?
- Who were their neighbors? Did any other Hickmans live in the area?
Each of these questions are linked to another record collection.
Question 1 – where they lived in 1935 – may be answered by a city directory, which may also tell you George's occupation. If it changed between 1935 and 1940, that may mean George took a new job with a new employer, which triggered the family's move.
Question 2 could be answered by a marriage record.
Question 3 will require Edna's maiden name, which can be found on that marriage record, which can then be used to find Edna with her parents in earlier census records, and so on.
Familiarizing yourself with all of the records available on Ancestry.com and the type of details contained in each will make your search for more answers simpler.
OK, this wasn't a specific question, but inspired by reading the comments of my previous article: Are These The Same People? In that post, I built what I call a Family Census Table that I used to determine who was in the family and when.
Maybe it will be useful to do a few examples of what you might include, and also talk about what you can do with the information once you've collected it.
Let's do our first example with my great great grandparents Jeremiah and Mary Gillespie.
I'll build a table in Excel, but you can do it in word, on a piece of paper, or whatever makes sense. In this first, example I'm going to work through, I'm not going to include place, but we will in later examples:
Now let's find the 1880 census and record what we see.
Harriet was listed as a daughter, and George and Paul as sons. There are big gaps between the children, so there very well may be other children.
On to 1870.
OK, there are some serious discrepancies here! But let's collect all four and then think about them.
And now for 1860:
No George. And this is the first we've seen of Sarah. One more, let's look at 1850:
OK. Now what do we do with this somewhat confusing information? Let's start with a list of questions that we might have by looking at this family.
- Are the Mary in 1880 and the Ann in 1870 the same person as the Mary E in 1860 and 1850?
- Why is George listed as a son of Jeremiah in 1880, but not in the household in 1860? He should have been 4.
- What happened to Sarah? She should have been about 10 in 1870, too young to be married. Where is she?
- Where are James and William in 1880?
- Jeremiah and Mary are no where to be found in 1900, did they die between 1880 and 1900?
- Can we find Harriet, James, William, George and Paul in 1900?
In the next post, I'll talk about where you might want to go next with this research and how to get there.
If you put every family you are working on in a table like this, I guarantee that you will look at it and start asking questions. And that is the best way to get answers. :-)
What a disappointing way to learn that the 1820 and 1830 censuses are rubbish for finding anyone who's not the head of household.
I don't have as much experience navigating death records, but it may be time to give those a go. Marriage records would be the obvious choice, if I'd found a year for her marriage to Friederich yet.
Fingers crossed.
Not impossible, but not recommended.
Every once in a while, I just browse the stack of genealogy charts I've got, looking to see where lines stop and what information (if any beyond a name) there is to go on. Being a lightweight Sherlockian, I was a bit ecstatic to notice a Holmes way back in my grandmother's line. Naturally, all I've got is a name (Susanna Holmes), who she married (Frederick/Friederich Adam Heinz), and the name of her son (Frederick H. Hines), who may not be her (or his) only child.
I did some perusing on Google last night on my phone and came across a family tree someone'd put together. The names all match, but the year of birth for Frederick Hines doesn't, and some of the possibly unsourced years for Heinz don't line up either.
Three guesses what I'll oh-so-casually be doing today.
As awful as my head is for names (unless I've been looking at the names for a long time), places are even worse. One locale that's stuck in my brain, though, is "Lachine," and so, when it came up while Googling sinkholes, I decided to find out what area history could tell me.
Sources: Lachine, La Société d'Histoire de Lachine, list of Victimes du massacre de Lachine, Massacre de Lachine, Lachine Canal, Rapides de Lachine.
Or: things I'd like to look into when I'm more awake.
Also - regain access to ancestry.com
Last night Ancestry.com posted images from twelve more states, bringing the total to 37 states and the District of Columbia. With 70% of the images now indexed, you're chances are better than ever for finding family. Newly added is Alaska, Arkansas, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Utah. (Search all 37 states here.)
Take a look at some of the notable names we found in this release.
Chuck Norris
You don't enumerate Chuck Norris; he enumerates you. OK, so that's probably not true. Since Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris was only 0/12 of a year old, he probably wasn't wielding a pen, a sword, or any other weapon. But by 1950, we bet he was already kicking some butt and taking names.
Walter Cronkite
Walter Cronkite was already reporting the news in 1940, working as a newspaper writer for a news service in Kansas City, Missouri. And that's the way it is April 2, 1940.
Tom Brokaw
Another award-winning newscaster was just getting his start in life. Thomas J. Brokaw is listed as a "permanent guest" in a hotel in Bristol, Day Co., South Dakota, age 1/12 of a year. We're glad he decided to venture away from that hotel so that he could bring us the news in a career that has spanned five decades.
Johnny Cash
The "man in black" was just a boy age eight when the census taker came to call in 1940. His dad earned $140 a year as a laborer in a public school to support his wife and five children, and reported additional income, probably from the farm they lived on.
Jack Lemmon
Jack Lemmon (John Uhler Lemmon III) was no grumpy old man in 1940. He was only 15 and is enumerated with his parents. His father made more than $5,000 that year as a retail and wholesale salesman in the flower industry.
Leonard Nimoy
As Spock, Leonard Nimoy once said, "Insufficient facts always invite danger." We can't tell whether it was insufficient facts or just poor recording that led the enumerator to not only list Leonard's last name as Mimony, but to also list him as female and the "granddaughter" of the head of household (his mother Dora's father). While not exactly dangerous, it did make it harder to locate him.
Angie Dickinson
Angeline Brown, age eight, living in Edgeley, LaMoure Co., North Dakota, would not stay there for long. In 1942 the family would move to Burbank, California and Angeline would go on to become the movie and TV star that most of us know as Angie Dickinson.
Glen Campbell
The "Rhinestone Cowboy" was living on Bills Delight Road, in Saline, Pike County, Arkansas in 1940, the seventh son of Wesley and Carrie Campbell. His father, a farmer, reported working 60 hours during the week of March 24-30 of that year.
Harry S. Truman
The 33rd president of the United States was a senator in 1940, five years before being elected to the country's highest office. He's living in the house at 219 N. Delaware St. in Independence, Missouri—a house built by his wife Bess' grandfather. This was the Truman family home when they weren't living in Washington, D.C. His census record indicates that he had four years of high school. He is the only 20th century president that didn't get a college degree.
None of these are relevant to my family, but this is relevant to my interests and fascinating to boot.

Coaching Experience
Director of Women's Basketball Administration and Operations: Utah (2014-Present)
Assistant Coach: Utah (2011-2013)
Assistant Coach: Oregon (2006-09)
Head Coach: Northeastern (2000-06)
Associate Head Coach: UCLA (1993-2000)
Assistant Coach: Washington (1985-93)
Assistant Coach: Iowa State (1984-85)
Graduate Assistant Coach: Ohio State (1982-84)
Director of Women's Basketball Administration and Operations Willette White enters her fourth season on the Ute staff, bringing over 30 years of experience to the program.
White comes to Utah after three seasons at Oregon (2006-09). Prior to her stint with the Ducks, she spent six seasons at the helm for the Northeastern Huskies, guiding the program's transition from the America East Conference to the Colonial Athletic Association.
White spent seven seasons as associate head coach at UCLA, joining the staff in 1993. The highlight of her time in Westwood was the 1998-99 campaign, when the Bruins won their first Pac-10 championship and advanced to the national quarterfinals as a No. 3 seed. It was UCLA's first-ever trip to the Elite Eight, and the Bruins finished with a mark of 26-8 after falling in the West Region final.
White helped mold several standout players at UCLA, most notably Maylana Martin, who was a first round pick of the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx.
White spent eight seasons at Washington prior to her stint at UCLA. During her time in Seattle, the Huskies compiled a 181-59 record (.754), won three conference titles, and reached the NCAA Tournament seven times. In 1990 the Huskies were Pac-10 co-champs, earned a top seed in the NCAA tournament Mideast Region, finished with a school-record 28 wins and were ranked third in the nation at the end of the year, the team's highest ranking ever. The Huskies handed national champion Stanford its only loss of the season.
White has also spent time with the USA Basketball program. She served as an assistant on UConn coach Geno Auriemma's staff for the 2001 U19 Junior World Championships, helping lead the team to a bronze medal. She also spent time on the USA Basketball Women's Collegiate Committee from 2001-04.
A native of Tacoma, Wash., White was a standout performer at Clover Park High, graduating in 1977. From there, she attended Green River Community College for two years before transferring to Idaho. She led the team to back-to-back NCWSA Northwest Region Titles (1980-81) and a pair of berths in the AIAW Division II national tournament. A two-time AIAW All-Region Team honoree, she was selected as a Division II All-American in 1981. When she graduated, she held career records for scoring average (11.5), steals (169), and assists (356), as well as single-season marks for steals and assists, and single-game steals and assists records.
In 1992, White was inducted into the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges' Hall of Fame. She entered the Vandal Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.
White received a Bachelor's Degree in general studies from Idaho in 1982 and went on to earn a Master of Arts degree in athletic administration from Ohio State in 1984.

Beginning Tuesday May 1st, Occupy Protestors will begin their "31 magical days," a month-long movement taking effect in cities around the world as the 2012 NATO summit approaches. 50,000 protestors are expected to assemble in Chicago's Grant Park, and according to a blog post titled, "The May 2012 Insurrection," the Occupy movement will be armed with the following message:
"[We will tell] the military elites there to stop their saber rattling against Iran, halt the global arms race and get behind what the majority of the people on Earth want: a nuclear-free world starting with a nuclear-free Middle East that includes both Iran and Israel."
For the next month, this blog will conduct a series of articles and videos chronicling the event, hearing the voice of the movement planning to stand strong and fight for "a world run by the people, not corporations."
But your own voice is just as important. Do you feel the message sent by Occupy has a chance of not only reaching the ears of world leaders, but influencing the decisions which impact our future? Or are they wasting their efforts towards a goal that can't be reached? Do you even fully understand the message Occupy sends out?
Please take a moment to listen to the audio instructions and answer the poll below. Feel free to leave a comment and let your own voice be heard.

So had my appointment today with my doc! I just have to say how much I love this guy! He is awesome!
So plan is for now to start on the Metformin. Then when August rolls around, I will start on the Femara. He gave me some provera so when we are ready I can just take that and get this show on the road! I will be on 1500 MG a day and 2.5 mg of Femara!
So that is about the excitement of the appt. It was just a consultation. He said I don't need to do any blood work or U/S because we know what my problem is. He said if after about 3-6 months nothing is happening, then he will look into testing.
So now I just have to wait for August to roll around!

Efforts to catch a neighborhood prowler have landed a city councilwoman in trouble. Prosecutors say she tried to get witnesses to change their stories and went so far over the line it now has her facing charges.
Hopkinsville police called the so-called Southside Prowler downright dangerous and they wanted to get him off the streets, saying he would wander down the street at night, peek through windows and expose himself. In some cases, he actually got inside the homes.
Police grew so concerned they issued a red alert and robo calls were made to every house in the neighborhood.
"Worst case scenario: sexual assault, physical assault, killing. Anything could happen in that situation, so obviously we wanted it to stop. The sooner, the better," said Hopkinsville police Ofc. Paul Ray.
Investigators eventually caught a suspect in the case, career criminal Michael McClendon. But Hopkinsville Councilwoman Ann Cherry is also facing criminal charges in connection with the case.
"It's not the role of a city council person to conduct their own investigations or to interfere with investigations being conducted by police," said prosecuting attorney Lynn Pryor.
Pryor says Cherry convinced a witness to change the suspect description and also tried to get police to change their description in their robo warning call.
"The person that was charged and convicted of all of these crimes was a white male, and that's not what she had in her mind that he was. She was trying to convince the emergency operations center that it was a black male," Pryor said.
Cherry says her attorney told her not to comment, but she did go on record, saying, "I'm always trying to help my constituents if I can, but I certainly don't break any laws doing that. I'm innocent."
"I don't doubt that she does try to help her constituents, but I just believe that in this particular instance she crossed the line," Pryor said.
Channel 4 News attempted to contact Cherry's attorney for this story but he did not return our phone calls.
The case is due to go to trial Nov. 18.

In the backwoods of Arkansas, Mr. Stewart's wife went into labor in the middle of the night. The doctor was called in to assist in the delivery.
To keep the nervous father-to-be busy, the doctor handed him a lantern and said, "Here, you hold this high so I can see what I'm doing." Soon, a baby boy was brought into the world.
"Don't be in a rush to put the lantern down. I think there's yet another wee one to come." Sure enough, within minutes he had delivered another baby.
"Now don't be in a great hurry to be putting down that lantern, young man. It seems there's yet another!" cried the doctor.
The new father scratched his head in bewilderment and asked the doctor. "Do ya think it's the light that's attractin' them?"

Turning $1 into $1.6 billion
Dollar stores' stocks rival their wares for great value.
Fifteen years ago, I walked into a 99 Cents Only store. Being an unemployed graduate student, I was eager to save as much money as I could while buying the things one needs to live one's life. I discovered that you get what you pay for. After loading up on dish soap, paper towels and other staples, I found the quality to be absolute garbage. I vowed never to waste my time or money again.
But a few years ago, I sauntered into a Dollar Tree (DLTR) because the stock had been doing well and I couldn't fathom why that was the case. How could there be tens of thousands of these dollar stores when all they sold was junk? As it turns out, they didn't sell junk anymore. They sold brand-name merchandise. I became a fan.
Evidently, so has the world of private equity and hedge funds. They've taken notice of these stores' great margins, increasing market share and growing earnings (some at 20% annually). I thought it was amazing when hedge fund manager Bill Ackman purchased a ton of stock in Family Dollar (FDO). Warren Buffett also took a stake in Dollar General (DG). These, however, are nothing compared to the $1.6 billion private buyout of 99 Cents Only Stores that recently just closed.
What does this tell us about the present valuations of the dollar stores -- and whether any of them are buys?
The $1.6 billion price tag for 99 Cents Only was 21.6 times 2011 earnings of $74 million, and 1.1 times sales. Dollar Tree's trailing 12-month earnings are $463 million, so a 21.6 multiple puts its present value right at $10 billion, or exactly what DLTR trades at today, although that is 1.5 times sales.
Family Dollar has $394 million in TTM earnings, and giving it a 21.6 multiple yields $8.5 billion, which is 1 times sales. With only $250 million in net debt, that suggests Family Dollar -- presently trading at a market cap of $6.46 billion -- might be undervalued by as much as 30%. With the stock trading at $55, it suggests it might be worth closer to $70. Perhaps Mr. Ackman is on to something here.
Dollar General is the big kahuna, with TTM net income of $698 million. That 21.6 multiple would make it worth a whopping $15.08 billion, also representing about 1.07 times sales. The present market cap is $14.04 billion, suggesting a modest premium of 7% exists, which might make the stock worth $44. But hang on -- DG carries $2.6 billion in net debt, so that wipes out that premium and then some.
Strictly examining the stores on the basis of the buyout, then, it appears Family Dollar is drastically undervalued. It certainly has room for improvement operationally, and Mr. Ackman is known for finding companies that could use fresh eyes and a different approach. I think if you put your faith in Mr. Ackman, you won't be disappointed.
I've always liked Dollar Tree because of its consistency, however, so given its expected 20% earnings growth, it's likely you won't go wrong there, either.
If you're looking to stretch your dollar even further, check out these three highly-recommended stocks you can buy for under $10.
As of this writing, Lawrence Meyers did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned stocks.

I agree with Jean,
You cannot buy the same brand name for.99 when target and wall mart are selling supposedly the same thing for 3 times the cost.
You get what you pay for!
Read the labels and check the manufacturer and country of manufacture. The size, thickness, or quantity may be less at a dollar store to make the price more efficient.
Of course there are some cheap things that are only worth a $1 and sell for more at other places, so the dollar store does have a place. We all need to be smart shoppers to know the true value of certain products.
What's my take on Dollar Tree Stores?
I volunteer at the Provo,Utah Food and Shelter Coalition Soup kitchen.Many times they need assorted cleaning chemicals such as bleach,ammonia,oven cleaner,generic windex like glass cleaner.Absolutely,I will buy chemicals from Dollar tree in Provo in half gallon sized containers and drive it over.
Onteora Scout Reservation was at one time the 3rd largest camp of the Boy Scout Program.Board of health statutes in New York State are pretty stringent for summer camp operations. A Dollar Tree store is within a 7 mile drive of the camp ranger's residence.I successfully lobbied camp leadership to use Dollar Tree products for cleaning sanitation issues. Yes,the camp DID pass Board of Health annual inspections.
I propose utilizing Dollar Tree as a supplier. With shrinking budgets for groups to run with,this venue might address issues of cutting costs without cutting quality of operation.

Operation Just One Can
ok let ask this question, if the 99 cent store can sell brand name and you can get it for the 99 cents, why in the world would a competitor, Wal-Mart , target grocery stores and all the others sell for so much more and make billions, where as the 99 cent store you save so much and they still make their billions. Hmmmmm what kind of merchandise is this, , are they the same or from a sister manufacture to label it the brand name but not the same . It gets a little confusing doesn't it. So my point is we the people are still getting ripped off by the same people. The sister manufacture is making the same as the primary manufacture and distribute to the 99 cents stores , why cant they do the same with the Wal-Mart target and others.
Its like Wal-Mart wanting to help with the "green" effect. hahaha. they stop plastic bags then charge you for the semi cloth and act as though their doing good. Their making another corporation in manufacturing of the bags. their double charging in a way , its another greed of crap done in the so called legal systems.

My name is Alison Frazier and as the Manager of Guest Activities on the Entertainment team, I am responsible for all sports, games and activities that guests of every age enjoy onboard Royal Caribbean International ships. I was a crew member in the early nineties on the Sun Viking and was part of the startup team for Allure of the Seas – with several positions in between – and I can truly say that it continues to be an exciting place to work.
As the mother of two children, I am much attuned to the needs of cruising families. My kids have grown up cruising and are huge fans of our complimentary Adventure Ocean Program. The biggest compliment we continually get from parents is that their children don't want to leave our care – and I can relate, having to often fib by telling my kids that Adventure Ocean is closed so we can spend time as a family! Although they are now both "Explorers" (our 6- 8 year old age group) it was not that long ago that my daughter was one of the first babies that participated in the launch of our Royal Babies & Royal Tots Fisher-Price play sessions in 2004. At that time our children's programming was limited to ages 3-11, so we teamed up with our partners at Fisher-Price to provide a play concept for our youngest cruisers (6 – 36 months). The launch was successful and we still run the play sessions today.
I am proud to say that Royal Caribbean was recognized as a Best Baby Getaway of 2012 by American Baby magazine. It was an honor to be featured and a credit to the focus Jeannette Loury, our Adventure Ocean Consultant, has placed in developing our under-3 program.
Some examples of how the program has evolved over the years include our debut of the first Royal Babies and Royal Tots Nursery, a drop-off service offered for a nominal fee for children from 6 to 36 months, on Oasis of the Seas in 2009. Due to the positive response from our guests we have since added eight additional nurseries as part of the Royal Advantage revitalization program. By the end of 2012, with two more nurseries scheduled to open on Serenade of the Seas and Enchantment of the Seas, Royal Caribbean will have 11 nurseries in its fleet. Nurseries are currently available on Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, Freedom of the Seas, Splendour of the Seas, Radiance of the Seas, Rhapsody of the Seas, Mariner of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas
Additional offerings for our under-3 cruisers include the Fisher-Price Toy Lending Program, where parents can stop by Adventure Ocean and borrow toys to entertain the little ones in their stateroom while parents get ready for an evening out. If you find yourselves at our private beach destination, CocoCay, don't forget to check out the PowerWheels track by Fisher-Price. This is one of my children's favorite memories from when we cruised on Monarch of the Seas last year. They still talk about it today!
As part of the Royal Babies and Royal Tots Nurseries, our Youth Staff has experienced many rewarding moments at sea. On some of the longer cruises, we have the joy of sharing in many firsts, such as first steps, first time using the potty and even first words. In fact, parents have thanked us in the past for helping to develop their toddler's language skills – and letting their personality shine. Take one of our nursery guests, Colton, and his mother. At the beginning of their voyage, Colton's communication consisted of asking for his Mommy or for cookies. By the end, he was singing and dancing to Justin Bieber's "Baby" with our staff!
Part of our staff's success in connecting with the youngest cruisers is their experience in child care. All of our Nursery personnel have four-year university degrees or an international equivalent in Recreation, Education or a related field. They are required to have at least 3 to 5 years of experience working with children 6 months and up. They also participate in a specially developed, 30-hour training program and curriculum conducted by an accredited Florida instructor at the Little Cruisers Child Care Center in Miami.
We also intentionally ensure that our original production shows, parades and ice spectaculars are family friendly. We also developed a black-light puppet show called ImaginOcean! with an enchanting story, great characters and fabulous soundtrack. And I can't forget to mention the DreamWorks Experience on select ships, where children and adults get a thrill from seeing Shrek, Puss in Boots, Po and the characters of Madagascar. The DreamWorks parade is my absolute favorite and fun for everyone.
We have come a long way since that first play session in 2004 and I am proud that we have so much to offer. And remember, once they are old enough for Adventure Ocean there is no looking back! What memorable stories do your kids treasure from our Adventure Ocean program?

Nexi's Christian Andreica
Hi, who are you?
I'm Christian Andreica
Where are you from?
Bucharest, Romania
What is the name of your company?
Can you tell me what you do in one sentence?
We build an online platform that helps HR departments reach top talent through the networks of their own employees.
How did you come up with your idea?
We were working at a job search engine. Together with the CEO and the investor of that company we had a brainstorm meeting about how companies recruit nowadays and what tools they use. We saw a growing trend in using referrals. 30% off all the companies use referrals to hire new employees. We found that statistic really interesting. In combination with the growing trend of companies using more and more social media to find talent, we came up with the idea of Nexi.
How did you find out about Rockstart Accelerator?
We knew about incubators and accelerators in general and we started to apply to a few of them. We heard about Rockstart because we met James Digby at the How To Web conference in Romania. He told us about the accelerator and we applied.
You've been in Amsterdam now for almost 100 days and part of the Accelerator program Did it meet your expectations?
I already knew how accelerators work. I have friends in Romania, one of them sold his company to Twitter. Everyone has it's own experiences and challenges. Rockstart definitely met our expectations.
Do you benefit from working with 9 other startups? If so, how?
Especially in the beginning there was a lot of support between the startups. Now everyone has it's own focus. But there are always a few minutes here and there for helping one of the other startups.
How do you benefit from the mentor program coaching? Do you have a favorite mentor?
Everyday I'm surprised about how the Rockstart Accelerator network operates. It's very powerful. One of our favorite mentors is Leoni Janssen, she helped us quite a lot with brand communication.
Will you participate to the additional three-month Summer Program?
Yes. We will be focusing on our sales and on the pitch for Silicon Valley during the summer period in Amsterdam.
Do you have one insight you wanna share with other startups?
Apply for an accelerator. It worked very well for us. Check what the accelerator is looking for, pick the right one and apply.

Allonby Reading Rooms are restored
Last updated at 20:06, Thursday, 07 June 2012
A six-year project to turn Allonby's iconic Reading Rooms into a large family home is nearing completion.
Builder Darren King said he hoped work on the large sea-front building would be finished within three months.
The building, which had fallen into disrepair and was open to the elements, is now almost fully restored.
A new roof has been built and its clock tower, complete with clock, has been restored.
Restoration work started six years ago when the building was bought by Byron Beck and Faye Ashton, who work in Kuwait.
Mrs Ashton said it had been her dream to restore what had become an eyesore since her parents moved into the village in 1977.
Mr King said he began work in October last year and hopes to be finished in three months.
He said the result will be a beautiful six-bedroom home which will retain the character of the Reading Rooms, built by the Quakers in 1862.
While the exterior retains its historic character, inside it is modern, with white and stained oak fittings, said Mr King.
He added: "Right up until the 1940s, silent movies were shown on the ground floor of the Reading Rooms. There was a billiard room and reading room on the top floor with newspapers and books for local people to read."

It probably won't be the last surprise that we get from the Dr. Willie Herenton era at Memphis City Hall, but it certainly was an eye opener. I'm talking about the investigation done by the Commercial Appeal that revealed that Memphis taxpayers paid more than a million dollars last year to fix flat tires on city vehicles. Oh yeah, and that number doesn't include the tires. The city has had a sweetheart deal with Around Town Tire & Trucking to fix flat tires on city vehicles. The city supplied the tires, the shops and the tools, and yet somehow or other we still had pay more than a million dollars to this company to fix our flats. Memphis Mayor A C Wharton said he had already launched his own investigation into the matter and in a classic understatement he was quoted as saying that if the deal was supposed to create efficiency, it does not appear we are getting that. Wharton says this isn't the only thing he's investigating and he says he'll let the chips fall where they may. I know city taxpayers will appreciate that.That's my turn. Now it's your turn.

Leaves of gold: Locals discover Columbus Day payoffBy KEVIN OCONNOR
CORRESPONDENT | October 14,2013Kevin OConnor Photo
Some 90 vendors sell seasonal crafts at the 43rd annual Newfane Heritage Festival this Columbus Day weekend.Tourists who flocked to the 43rd annual Newfane Heritage Festival this Columbus Day weekend admired an overhead fall canopy of red, yellow and orange.
Townspeople appreciated something else: Raking up bushels of green.
The 90-vendor food and crafts festival attracting an estimated 10,000 people to a community of 1,726 showcases more than color on the local common. Since 1971, it also has served as the largest individual fundraiser for its sponsor, the Newfane Congregational Church.
We make roughly $30,000, volunteer Carleen Pelsue said.
Thats roughly 25 percent of our budget for the year, fellow helper Rick Wilson added.
Perhaps thats why the festival named one of the Philadelphia Inquirers 10 for the Road events had plenty of competition up and down tourist-traveled highways throughout southern Vermont.
In neighboring Dummerston, volunteers at that towns Congregational Church filled 1,500 tins for Sundays 44th annual Apple Pie Festival, which doubled if not tripled the usual population of 1,864. Members spent weeks making and baking the pies, only to watch them sell out in hours. The payoff: Enough funds to cover 20 percent of the fellowships annual budget.
Down the road, the nonprofit Scott Farm took advantage of the crowds to hold an Heirloom Apple Tasting Day, featuring many of its 90 locally grown varieties from Roxbury Russet to Belle de Boskoop to Winter Banana and Hidden Rose as well as other fruits including gooseberries, nectarines and quince.
In nearby Halifax, population 728, the Honora Winery and Vineyard hosted its fifth annual Grape Stomp, bringing together farmers, artisans, banjo and washboard musicians and high-stepping redheads vying for $100 in a Lucille Ball look-alike contest.
Back in Newfane, traffic along the central Route 30 was backed up a mile from the center of town as motorists searched for parking or stopped for a fire department coin drop.
We could not do the outreach for charities we do if we didnt have this money, Pelsue said. As for the resulting congestion, she added: Local people know how to get around it.

In 2008, The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum honored the legacy of the late John Jordan "Buck" O'Neil, the Negro leagues legend whose baseball contributions spanned eight decades, with the creation of the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award.
A permanent, life-size bronze statue of O'Neil was dedicated in the Museum in 2008 accompanied by a list of award recipients and a plaque to educate Museum visitors about O'Neil's contributions to the game. Each honoree will receive a smaller statue at the Induction Ceremony during Hall of Fame Weekend.
The Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award is presented by the Hall of Fame's Board of Directors not more than once every three years to honor an individual whose extraordinary efforts enhanced baseball's positive impact on society, broadened the game's appeal, and whose character, integrity and dignity are comparable to the qualities exhibited by O'Neil. The Award, named after the late Buck O'Neil, was first given in 2008, with O'Neil being the first recipient.
Nominations may be submitted by anyone, to the Hall of Fame, at any time, in writing. Nomination should detail how the proposed candidate carries O'Neil's extraordinary traits. Nomination may be submitted to: Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award, National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, 25 Main Street, Cooperstown, NY 13326. Only submissions received by mail will be considered.
"The Board of Directors of the National Baseball Hall of and Museum is thrilled to honor Buck O'Neil as the first recipient of this award, named after him," said Jane Forbes Clark, chairman of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. "Buck touched every facet of baseball, and his impact was among the greatest the game has ever known. The Board recognizes this impact Buck had on millions of people, as he used baseball to teach lessons of life, love and respect. His contributions to the game go well beyond the playing field. This award will recognize future recipients who display the spirit Buck showed every day of his life."
Below is a complete list of Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award recipients.

Summer Safety 101
Whether you're packing a picnic basket or beach bag this summer, keep your family safe by following these tips.
At the Beach
Cover up: For babies under 6 months, avoid sunscreen and dress them in long-sleeved, light clothes and hats. Everyone else should wear sun hats, sunglasses and SPF 15 or higher sunscreen. Apply the sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure, and reapply it every two hours or after a dip. Use sunscreen even if it's cloudy.
Stay above water: Avoid water wings and similar flotation devices, because they give kids a false sense of security. Infants and toddlers should always be within arms' reach of a grownup. Never leave kids unattended in the water.
In the Backyard
Summer spells BBQ: The grill is not a play area, so no running nearby. Check the tubes and hoses on a gas grill for obstructions or damage. Keep the flame away from grease and flammable materials. Never smoke near a gas grill. Never use a gas or charcoal grill indoors.
Pool safety: As we've told you before, pools can be deadly. At least 300 kids under 5 drown each year in swimming pools. If you have a pool, install a fence at least four feet high on all sides with a self-closing latch that's out of reach of small children. Keep a portable phone, shepherd's hook (a long pole with a hook on the end) and life preserver handy.
Good eats: Food spoils fast in hot weather. Keep meat refrigerated until it hits the grill, and keep grandma's potato salad in the fridge until it's time to eat.
Lawnmowers: About 10,000 children and teens are injured by lawnmowers each year, and 75 people are killed annually as a result of lawnmower accidents. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children under 16 should not operate riding mowers, and children younger than 12 should not operate walk-behind mowers. Children should never ride as a passenger on riding mowers, and adults using a lawnmower should make sure children are kept out of the yard.
At the Park
Play it safe: For kids who play sports, shorten the intensity and duration of practice on hot or humid days. Bring lots of water, and drink it before exercise. Clothes should be light-colored and lightweight. Change out of sweaty clothes.
Bugs! Bugs can be more than a nuisance: Ticks spread Lyme disease and mosquitos carry West Nile Virus. Wear long trousers in areas with high brush, and check for ticks at the end of the day. Avoid perfumed soaps and creams, and don't dress in bright, floral patterns. Use bug repellent. The American Society of Pediatrics recommends repellent with DEET. Products containing DEET shouldn't be used on babies younger than 2 months. Avoid sunscreen-repellent combination creams, because you should reapply sunscreen every two hours, but apply repellent only once.
Poisonous plants: Teach your kids how to identify poison oak, poison ivy and poison sumac. Stay clear of high brush, and wear long pants on hikes. If you think you might have brushed against the itchy shrub, shower when you get home. Do not take a bath.
Hot summer,
share it with you,give you a cool feeling.

Now that the last unit of the Bugatti Veyron has been sold, the company is shifting its focus to the Grand Sport version with a new special edition. A special edition that, no doubt to overshadow the discontinuation of the Veyron model, has been developed with porcelain manufacturer Königliche Porzellan-Manufatur Berlin (KPM) and is the world's first motor car to be dressed up in the finest porcelain. Prices for this unique model start at 1.65 million euro, or $2,385,000 at the current exchange rates.
Called the L'Or Blanc, this very special Veyron Grand Sport is a little more psychedelic than elegant with blue swirls painted on the vehicle's white body. Bugatti designers used a precision tape made of delicate Japanese soft tissue which adheres perfectly to sulfur-containing plasticine. These designers were able to stretch the tape to a certain degree to create the swirls which are up to five meters long. It seems to be rather intricate work for something Austin Powers would drive, but apparently this color technique was chosen because of the way the light reflects on the car's body.
In addition to the flowing paint job, the Bugatti Veyron L'or Blanc also receives twelve porcelain elements constructed of the finest porcelain at the Berlin based manufacturer. The porcelain is used for the inlays of the center wheel badges, the fuel filler cap, and the oil filler cap, as well as the signature "EB" badge at the rear.
The porcelain has also been used for the interior and can be found on the famous elephant sculpture that stands in an upright standing position. This sculpture was created by Rembrandt Bugatti and adds to the unique nature of the Bugatti Veyron L'or Blanc special edition.
Updated 09/05/2011: The latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage features one of the most impressive Veyrons recently launched on the market: the L'or Blanc. Hit the jump for the video and find out if Jay Leno was impressed by the porcelain elements for exterior and interior design.
Updated 04/30/2012: Bugatti has unveiled a new video presenting the development process behind the Veyron L'or Blanc - the car build to mark the start of a partnership between the Royal Procelain Manufactory Berlin and Bugatti.

Narrow your search
Here's where you find the best of the best, our top digital cameras across the board.
The newest addition to its enthusiast compact line seems targeted at drawing buyers away from Sony's RX100 II.
The Wi-Fi-enabled ultracompact gets the screen it should have had the first time around, not to me ntion other feature tweaks.
Pricing not available
With a wider and longer lens than its predecessor and some other needed improvements, the SX60 HS brings Canon back to parity with its competition.
The budget-friendly 30x zoom returns to Canon's PowerShot lineup minus some features, but with a newer image processor.
The update to Canon's aged midrange dSLR has some really nice enhancements, as well as some disappointing omissions.
Though there's nothing extraordinary about it, the SX600 HS is a solid choice for snapshooters wanting a simple step up from a smartphone without sacrificing on-the-go sharing.
The Canon PowerShot N100's photos and performance are a step in the right direction for point-and-shoots, but the N100 design needs a bit more work and perhaps fewer novelties.
While it's a perfectly fine camera when you're making the jump from a point-and-shoot, there are better choices than the Canon EOS Rebel T5.
If you're looking for more than just a simple snapshot experience from a compact zoom camera, the Canon PowerShot SX700 HS should be on your short list, despite a couple shortcomings.
The lower-end ENG XF series gets two new models with 20X lenses.

Among the oldest of the city's suburbs, and for years home to Johannesburg's Jewish and Portuguese communities, the eastern suburb of Bezuidenhout Valley (better known as Bez Valley) has changed dramatically in recent years, with whites moving out of much of the old housing to make way for township and immigrant blacks. Cyrildene, to the northeast of Bez Valley, has become the city's new Chinatown, with a fascinating collection of Chinese supermarkets, businesses and authentic restaurants along Derrick Avenue.
Most visitors to this area, however, come to Bruma Lake, an artificial stretch of water that has proved a disappointing attraction save for its popular and lively flea market. Nearby, and safe for walkers, joggers and picnickers, is one of Jo'burg's more accessible green spaces, Gillooly's Farm, a park set around a dam. The park is overlooked by a dramatic koppie that can be climbed in twenty minutes.
The suburbs immediately south of the city centre were traditionally the preserve of the white working class. After the repeal of the Group Areas Act in 1990, blacks started moving in; unusually in contemporary South Africa, many are wealthier than the original residents.
The Apartheid Museum
The Apartheid Museum
Some 15km south of the city centre along the M1 is the excellent Apartheid Museum, featuring separate entrances for "whites" and "non-whites" (your race is randomly assigned): truly a world-class museum, delivering a sophisticated visual history that is distressing, inspiring and illuminating. The museum offers a nuanced insight into the deep social damage wrought by apartheid – and by colonial policies that long preceded it – and helps to explain the persistence of poverty and racial tension in the new South Africa. On the other hand, the museum's visual account of the jubilant advent of democracy serves to remind us how miraculous the transition was.
Give yourself plenty of time to view the permanent exhibition of photographs by Peter Magubane of the 1976 Soweto uprising, and don't miss the exhilarating short documentary on the State of Emergency during the mid-1980s, when a wave of mass demonstrations and riots, though violently suppressed, shook the resolve of the regime.

Hey folks – I souped-up the Recent Site Wide Posts widget the other day to do some things it currently does not. Someone was asking out here how to make all the list items display excerpts and this version solves that (and more). Here are the features:
• Specify your own title
• Specify number of posts to show
• Specify how many of those posts should display excerpts
• Specify number of words in the excerpts
• Show/Hide author avatar
• Show/Hide post meta
• Choose excerpt truncation style, i.e. [...] or Read more… or Continue »
If people want more excerpt truncation styles, just holler. Actually, I wonder if I couldn't just let the user specify it in the options panel [duh]. Okay I'll do that in the next version.

Healthy PWA Recognition
Back: Jim Lachapelle, Hank Hueber, Eve Prang Plews, Richard Henry, Dr. Fred Harvey, Tom Washburn
Front: Richard Trifari, Valerie Wojciechowicz
On Tuesday, June 3 the TCI Board of Directors recognized 25 years of volunteer service by Eve Prang Plews, Dr. Fred Harvey, and Tom Washburn. This team of professionals has been donating their time, talent, and resources to ensure the continued health of People With AIDS (PWA) in our community. The Healthy PWA program at TCI has been providing education, nutritional supplements, and acupuncture for 25 years.
Eve Prang Plews is a Licensed Nutrition Counselor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist with years of experience counseling clients, speaking nationally to healthcare and medical practitioners, conducting grant-funded nutrient studies, and staying on the forefront of functional medicine education. Eve is well known for her expertise in the integration of medical science, health, and nutrition.
Through The Harvey Center for Integrative Medicine, Dr. Fred Harvey helps people thrive and live healthy, vital lives. After becoming disenchanted with cookbook medicine, Dr. Harvey developed an integrative approach to medicine that combines the best of Western medicine with alternative and holistic therapies that help the whole person, not just an illness.
Tom Washburn is an acupuncture physician specializing in healing the body rather than just treating the symptoms. A graduate of the East West College of Natural Medicine in Sarasota, Tom uses an East/West approach to treating patients with his extensive background in neuromuscular massage therapy and physical therapy.
Clients of TCI's Healthy PWA program benefit from the combined expertise of these three professionals whose gifts directly affect their health, well being, independence, and their ability to function as productive members of our community.
Thank you Eve, Dr. Harvey, and Tom.

DULUTH -- Diverging diamonds are bringing a sparkle to officials hoping to relieve traffic in Gwinnett.
The Georgia Department of Transportation gave the go-ahead to a concept plan to use the innovative diverging diamond design at Pleasant Hill Road's interstate crossing. The department gave its approval for the design at Jimmy Carter Boulevard about a month ago.
The design, first seen in the United States two years ago, would have cars shift to the opposite side of the road on the bridge, allowing right turns onto the interstate instead of traffic backing up on the bridge because of drivers waiting to turn left. Officials with local community improvement districts say the concept could add 10 years to the life of the bridges.
"The CID's top priority is rebuilding this bridge to dramatically improve traffic flow and safety," said Leo Wiener, chairman of the Gwinnett Place CID. "We greatly appreciate the strong leadership and emphasis that Gwinnett County and Georgia transportation authorities have placed on the Pleasant Hill Road DDI. They recognize the importance of this project to the CID and our county's central business district."
Construction is expected to begin late this year or early next year on the bridges.
Earlier this week, officials learned that the Jimmy Carter and Pleasant Hill bridge replacement requests were not forwarded on as part of an unconstrained project list for a proposed regional sales tax. But Gwinnett Village CID Director Chuck Warbington said officials understand the logic on leaving them off the list, especially since the diverging-diamond interchanges will be complete just prior to the vote.
"I understand why and it makes a lot of sense," Warbington said of the argument that voters would be turned off from a new project since one had recently been completed. "A confused voter is not a good voter. ...We'll find other money to make it happen."
