GreatSchools Rating
Independence High School is a work in progress. The Principle is very capable and has made significant strides in improving the school from top to bottom. I expect to see the GreatSchools Rating rising steadily.
I currently attend this school and it is horrible. They have told us the school is not only infested with bugs, but also MICE. Many teachers don't care about if the students understand the information being taught. The administration has always been rude to me personally. The environment does not feel safe because there are so many rough kids. Overall independence is NOT a good school.
I graduated from The Big I way back in 1970. It is a wonderful school and always has been. Times change and students in Charlotte-Meck sometimes have to travel a long way to school. This is a very diverse student body. There are a lot of teachers there who graduated from Independence and that should speak volumes As times change everyone has to adjust. Overcrowding occurs and new schools are built. Sometimes that splits up friends, but Independence has always seemed to come out at or near the top. The football team is coming back. They were undefeathed for many years (7 to be exact) and both of my children went there. I am glad to say we are alumnus of The Big I.
this is a horrible school i went there and I'm happy that I'm leaving there and getting transfered. every time you call the school they will always transfer you to a voice mail as if the people in the front office don't know a thing. like they can't even answer the simplest questions. also when you leave a message you hardly ever get a call back. independence has brought too many many bad things to me and it was only my first year there.
This School Is A Great School The Principle Is great. The teachers are great and the Safety of this Is school I great to I recommend It for parents who wanna enroll there kids In a high school
I go to independence high school and this is my last year in high school! i have been going to independence since i was in the 9th grade and i loooovvvve this school! the teachers taught me so much that i have never knew! the best teachers at independence i think personally are mrs. lipp, mr. starnes, ms. lee, ms. currence, ms. apsega, ms. frank, ms. noto, and ms. davis even though she isnt teaching anymore! but other than that it is a great school and a safe one!!
As a member of Independence Student Council I would say that this is a really grest school. We have our problems just as any school has. The student- body is really active in the community and has a lot of school- sprit. We currently have an over populated student body. However, by next year a new school will be compleated and more students will leave our general population. A school that typicly revoled around our great football team is now trying to become more active in other extracuricular activites. Overall Independence is a great, diverse school, and I'm proud to be a Patirot!
Not only did I graduate from Independence, I cam back to teach there. The reputation of Independence has always been one of mediocre achievement...that is we've always been in the middle of the pack for test scores, etc. That is all changing. Four years ago they added the Academy of International Studies which is associated with The Asia Society and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And last year, our math scores (geometry) were second in the county (only behind Myers Park). There are fierce rivalries with nearby schools. They are mostly healthy but some of the rhetoric against Indy is fueled by the fact the our students are as affluence as nearby high schools...and we had an undefeated football team for 7 years straight. This is a great school staffed by some of the most talented and caring teachers you will ever find. Many teachers are alumni of Independence...that speaks volumes.
I attend Independence high this school year 08-09 And this school is great i just moved up here from miami,fl and i heard that this school was a very bad school but i guess i was hearing the wrong information i loveee this school!!
I went there in 2005-2008 and I generally had a good time when I went there some of the teacher are a pain but for the most part they are okay the students at the school can be a pain too but that's a small majority overall i like the school
High school can certainly be difficult to navigate. The IS/AIS program at BIG I has been a wonderful learning experience for my guys (3 of them!). It has created community, challenged their thinking on a global level and provided opportunities that only a small environment (300+ students in a sea of 3100+) can provide. I highly recommend you check it out for yourself!
I think that the Big I rocks! My son attends Indpendence and he has obtained an outstanding education. The school offers a safe place to learn, great teachers and a wonderful administrative staff.
My daughter attended Big I , and it was a terrific school- great administration, teachers, extracurricular activities, sports program ( go, Patriots!)- She had so many opportunities at the school, and it opened the doors for her to travel overseas, receive a college scholarship, compete in national competitions. She is now a caring, well-educated young woman who is giving back to the community in her career. I am proud of her and the role Indy played in her upbringing. I was a working, but involved parent. Take part in groups like the school leadership team as a parent if you have questions or concerns and you will learn more about the school and how hard they work to help their kids- I know Mrs. Bartles and Dr. Hinson both worked extremely hard to help all the kids at Big I. Some schools don't do that.
I have had personal involvement within Independence High School and I find it to be mismanaged and unorganized leaving the students in a state of confusion. Administration deals with minor behavior issues through suspension which most students go to school and just hang out so it doesn't work. The principal gives daily speeches that the students ignore and then she disappears. I have a child that will not go there next year because of my inside involvement with the school. If I have to home school, I will so that my child would not attend that school. The principal does not believe in the students but she talks a good game by pretending to care.
What a difference a year makes! The new administration at IHS has worked really hard to help this school. The teachers are working harder and the students are too. Sure the school has issues but at least the school is aware and reports the issues unlike other schools. When my daughter needed help, she felt very comfortable talking with one of the female administrators who was so kind and nuturing. My youngest child will enter the BIG I this fall. He can't wait!
Independence is not only the state champion in football, they are the champions of education. Under the new leadership of Nancy Bartles, the school has done an amazing turnaround. I am so proud to be affiliated with the best school in CMS. If you talk to the parents, staff, and/or students, you will hear the same thing....IHS has improved tremendously and students love going to school. The teachers are awesome! We just need more parent involvement. I think IHS is the best kept secret in CMS!
I graduated from Independence in 2001. I'm not certain what's happened to the school since I left, but I do know several of the most passionate, dedicated teachers I've ever known are still teaching there. Every school goes through cycles of problems. If you'll recall, the gang violence that erupted at Butler when it opened had many people questioning how long it would remain open! The only thing Independence needs is a little TLC from CMS and possibly a fresh perspective from a new principal. My education there afforded me many opportunities, both in high school and after I left. When I was there, it was perfectly safe. The only thing that puts students in jeopardy is their own ridiculous behavior. When a parent says that the majority of students at their child's school do not perform to expectations, what does that say about the parent?
I am currently a rising senior @ Independence, and i have attended it for the past 3 years. I would never go anywhere else. Sure it has its problems but so does EVERY high school; drugs, violence, bad teachers...all of these things are present in every other high school in America, whether they be private or not. Dr. Hinson was a great influence upon this school, sure he liked football, but he knew everyone and said hello to you every morning when he saw you. There are over 600 students in my class alone and i don't even know half of them, but he did, he knew every one of us, all 2200 students at HIS school. You can complain about Independence all you want but you aren't going to find a staff or student body anywhere that has more spirit and cares more about their school. -Heather Parnham
This is not a school to send your child to when selecting a high school. I think Independence is an unsafe environment for any student. The staff seems more concern with getting out at 3:00 than caring for the students. There are a few good teachers but majority I feel are incompetent. They lack the ability to control their classroom and teach in a manner to stimulate learning. I think part of the problem is the administration at the school and of course the leadership at the superintendent office.
I'm glad to find out there are others here who have had the same bad experience as our family did. The comment about the Pickering's is correct; also the comment about teacher favoritism, dumbing down of cirriculum, disciplinary problems --all accurate. I had to take my child out of that school! I have a rising 8th grader and I, as well as other families at our middle school want to know how we can avoid Independence? If she can't go to Butler --private school here we come.

Analysis of Design Parameters for Crosstalk Cancellation Filters Applied to Different Loudspeaker Configurations
Crosstalk cancellation is critical to rendering of binaural signals using loudspeakers. This study explores three different inversion techniques for selecting the optimum parameter for crosstalk filter applied to over 200 loudspeaker configurations. To obtain optimum parameters the bandwidth, filter length, and regularization constant were varied for each configuration and method. Results were dependent on the method, span angles, and filter length.

How far do you go to keep your exhibitors satisfied? Holding a post-show meeting to get feedback, or hosting a "getting to know the show management" breakfast during the meeting is no longer enough, said panelists during a session at the Healthcare Convention and Exhibitors Association Annual Meeting, held in June in Austin, Texas. To do it right these days, they said, you need an effective Exhibitors Advisory Council, or EAC.
"The Exhibitors Advisory Council is for me the humble recognition that I don't have all the great ideas," said panelist Barbara Charbonneau, senior manager of exhibits with the American Heart Association in Dallas. Humbling, perhaps, but essential in today's cutthroat environment where exhibiting options are burgeoning and consolidations are shrinking exhibitor pools.
First, the panel explained what an EAC is not. It's not a clique of your favorite exhibitors, and it's not a place where specific issues are solved. While the EAC's goal, like that of the organizer, is to improve the exhibition experience for exhibitors, it's even more focused on improving the experience for the attendees who view the exhibition as another vital link in their educational process.
An EAC facilitates open communication between an association and its exhibitors, explains HCEA's brochure on EACs. This dialogue leads to "better understanding of mutual interests on both sides and to decisions that positively affect all parties." Or, as an attendee at the session said, "You guys go to hundreds of shows, and we don't. You give us invaluable feedback and can tell us what you've seen work and not work at other shows — and suggest ideas that we may not think of." Exhibitors can even give you site selection ideas, since they've experienced so many convention facilities firsthand.
Charbonneau also stressed that, while the EAC is an advisory body, not a decision-making body, the group's input can start the snowball rolling — better meetings equal better attendance, which attracts more exhibitors and persuades existing exhibitors to buy more booth space and perhaps increase their sponsorship activities.
Working for the Greater Good
It can be tough to gather a group of corporate representatives in one room and have them put aside competitive issues for the greater good, Charbonneau admitted. Those who are chosen to be on the EAC must be willing to express their own and others' opinions and be willing to look out for the best interests of all exhibitors and attendees. She stressed repeatedly that the EAC members should be representative of the entire group of exhibitors.
"It should be a mix of 10 by 10s, 100 by 100s, and everything in between," added Cyndi Erp, customer development services manager, conventions and showrooms for KCI, a healthcare products company based in San Antonio, Texas. Erp sat on the panel with Charbonneau.
One attendee added, "I like to include the chronic complainers, because it's a good way to both address their needs and get them on our side. They usually become our biggest champions after serving on the EAC." An HCEA board member in attendance also said that she invited only HCEA members to be on her EAC, since they understand the importance of working together toward a common goal, despite competitive issues. (HCEA comprises exhibitors, associations, and vendors who all have as their goal a more productive healthcare exhibition industry.)
However you structure it, the EAC members have to be representative — that's the trouble with the catch-as-catch-can exhibitors' breakfasts at the show: You never know who might show up, and chances are, they'll just be looking out for their own interests, not those of everyone involved.
Charbonneau said she prefers to invite those who have at least three years' experience in exhibit marketing, though it doesn't have to be three years with one company, so they have enough experience to have a good grasp of the issues. She also thinks twice about anyone who's been around forever, because they might be stuck in the "we always do it this way" rut. It also makes sense, she said, to stagger their terms, so you always have a mix of experienced EAC members and those who can bring fresh ideas to the table.
Most societies meet with their EACs at their show, then communicate throughout the year at sister association meetings where most EAC members will be exhibiting, or via e-mail, teleconference, or videoconference.
While most session participants said that they prefer to keep their EAC relatively small — fewer than 10 people because, as one attendee said, "any more than that and work starts to become a party" — Charbonneau said she likes to keep it an odd number, 11 in her case, to keep votes from deadlocking.
Taking It to the Top
But what if the powers-that-be think an EAC is just a group of whiney exhibitors looking for the moon and the stars? It's all in the people you pick. Charbonneau, who before her current position was a member of several EACs as an industry representative, said that it's important that EAC members see themselves as sort of ambassadors for the association. "We were tasked with approaching new exhibitors before the event, not as competitors, but as part of the association's team." An attendee added that her EAC calls new exhibitors months in advance and walks them through the process to help make their experience a success.
One attendee said she held her EAC review meeting immediately prior to her planning committee's meeting and would present their feedback to the planning committee. "They do listen," she said. One exhibitor said her EAC's input was enough to cause the organization to move from a "horrible" lead-retrieval system to a good one.
Charbonneau e-mails the details of EAC meetings to all the important stakeholders, from the executive vice president to the program director, and reports about the meetings during their other meetings. An attendee added that she sends minutes of her meetings, along with exhibitor evaluation results, to all her leadership. She further suggested inviting one of the association's decision-makers to be on the EAC to increase their commitment to taking it seriously.
The results that attendees and panelists reported were pretty persuasive: One said that the EAC input caused a grueling five-day exhibit to be cut to three and a half, and another said that EAC reports of physician attendees saying that the exhibition was vital to their learning about the latest drugs, techniques, and devices was enough to persuade the program committee to stop having exhibit hours coincide with sessions.
And the exhibitors love it. Not only are their needs heard, but "mostly it's going back the next year and hearing how you've gotten good things to happen," said Erp. What better music for a show organizer's ears than to hear the trilling of happy exhibitors?
The Most Effective EACs …‥
- Represent a sample of all exhibitors — including those with large booths and small ones.
- Are focused on what will make the show better for attendees as well as for exhibitors.
- Are willing to be constructively outspoken on important issues, not just complainers.
- Are relatively small groups — usually up to 12, so that the group can be more productive.
- Create input that is channeled to association management, and is acted upon in some way. It is important to build a sense that EAC participants are ambassadors of the association.

GZA – Those That's Bout It Lyrics
[Intro: sample]
Call to umm - the call to arms
To draw your swords, to draw your gun
[Hook: GZA]
Those that's bout it, M.C.'s I run with
Those that doubt it, on the mic, get done quick
Even if you left in intensive care
I'll have the plug pulled, before your crew gets there
I'm the one you hate to see, your worst nightmare
While you dream of riding the block, and raiding the fair
Enemies get cooked like eggs, while they scramble
He lived, but he still lost his legs, as he gamble
Couldn't sell what he shipped, the shell came from the clip
His lightweight belt, had got blown off his hip
No one on the strip, had the full explanation
Only that the victim had high expectations
Most never peddle above the street level
They cut they last deal with the devil, just to settle
For the crumbs that fell off the plate, of the late great
Who died in the federal state prison, behind gates
[Hook x2]
[Hook: GZA]
M.C.'s don't want none of this, so just stop
Got gimmicks with a bunch of facades, and just props
Don't take the song seriously, they just drops
For the radio, but you ain't crazy, yo
I'm on the regular, slang competitor
I shock journalists, slap magazine editors
Watch the D.P. as he moves towards me
Stuffed on his wordplay, and can't record me
Three dimensional, visual, write portraits
Enough in the photo lab, not to get caught with
Treason for any reason, will only bring about torture
Should of been the nine, on those offers
Ribs broke my plate in the fifth
The fact that the beat came from Muggs, was a hell of a gift
So I, took the present, sent some to the essence
Like the young M.C.'s, who'd only escaped adolescence
The sword remains in shape with endurance
The blades can be quick, when replaced with insurance
But never seem to stop, regardless of the tragedy
Hyperactive rhymes, slingers with charged batteries
[Hook x2]
[Hook x2]
Edit song description to add:

- An explanation of the song's overall story (example: "In this song, Eminem corresponds with a crazed fan who ends up...")

Remove Limit of 150 items
Remove the limit of 150 items / project OR allow each project to have sub projects
Promoted responses
We have increased the limits for Premium users so on a free account, you can have up to 80 projects with up to 150 tasks in each project, but with Todoist Premium, you can now have up to 200 projects with up to 200 tasks in each project.
Please note that this change is being rolled out so it doesn't affect the iOS and Android app yet, but will very soon with the upcoming update to both apps.
Best regards,
All responses
Hello Bart,
this limit is temporary and will be enlarged or lifted once we make sure that the new HTML5-based version scales properly.
For now, you can create sub-projects for each project and break down longer task lists this way. To create a sub-project, simply right-click on a project, choose "Add project below" and use the Ctrl+RightArrow shortcut to indent it.
Best regards,
Thanks, I noticed you can make sub projects right after I posted this haha, but I'm glad that the limit is being removed :)
Can you elaborate on the expected time it will take before the limit is removed? Due to the way I use todoist, I cannot use todoist (at least normally) until the limit is removed. The limit is frustratingly low.
For people still struggling with the frustratingly low limits, a discussion can be found here:
If the limits will stay, we will discuss alternatives to migrate to there.
How about an opt-out button that individuals can use to override this? If there are only a few of us affected by this it seems that should not impact overall performance.
You can vote on the suggestion to have an option to opt-out from this limitation here: http://todoist.com/Vote/showProposal/657/
FYI, there is also an 80 project limit.
You can use the iOS app to add tasks past the 150 count. I probably shouldn't be telling the developers this as they will "correct" the "bug". On that note, if it gets removed in a future version I will be reconsidering use of this product.
Hello Cody,
This bug will indeed be fixed soon. We're sorry to hear that this limitation will cause you to not use our service anymore. You can have a total of 12,000 active tasks and create sub-projects on 3 indent levels. If you're having difficulties redistributing your tasks among sub-projects, please let us know how you're using Todoist and we'll gladly advise you how to manage tasks more efficiently by breaking them down into sub-projects.
Best regards,
David, thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for my harshness, it just seems like a trivial problem. I was actually confused by the post as I already have one project called "To read" where I collect links to articles that I don't have time to read at the moment. It has 196 tasks and it just takes one second longer to open the project on the mobile app (the first time only), but I've experienced no issues otherwise. Also no issues on the web version for that project (google chrome on Windows7, OSX10.8, and Ubuntu12.04), other than of course not being able to add anymore tasks. But I imagine that would change and things will go wonky if I did add thousands of tasks.
I hope you guys are able to address this in the future (especially for the paying customers) with some of the suggestions in support question 2201 (http://todoist.com/Support/showQuestion/2201/) like pages, or limit only the global number of tasks, etc.
Other than that, keep up the good work!
I notice that almost exactly a year ago it was stated that this limit of 150 tasks was temporary, and would be fixed. Any update yet on when this bug will be fixed, please?
Hello Don,
Unfortunately, we couldn't offer good enough performance without this limitation so it will not be lifted. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please note that you can have a total of 12,000 tasks on your account and this limitation only applies to active tasks. If you archive projects or complete tasks, those will not count towards the total.
Best regards,
Thank you for the prompt, clear statement that this bug will not be fixed. That is helpful for planning. You guys really are wonderful at communicating and keeping customers in the loop; a lot of companies should learn from you in this regard.
However, I have to take issue with your statement "you can have a total of 12,000 tasks on your account." I'm sorry, but this is not true. I don't doubt that the software can support 12,000 tasks, but no real, human user can come close, as it requires carefully crafting those tasks into exactly 80 buckets of exactly 150 tasks apiece. No one's life is that tidy. I suspect most users with thousands of tasks will regularly run into a mini-hell of having to carve up and/or consolidate projects, and reapportion tasks between them, simply to keep the software happy. The software that is supposed to be their servant, not their master.
When we made the decision to introduce these limitations, we did not take it lightly and we have not come up with these numbers (80 projects and 150 tasks per projects) without any real data. We've looked at the statistics - how many projects does each account have, how many tasks are in each projects and after analyzing the data of more that 500 000 users, it turned out that the amount of users that have either more than 80 projects or more than 150 tasks in any of their projects was lower than 0.1%.
That said, we're aware that a very minor percentage of our users will unfortunately be affected by it, however the benefits that this limitation introduces are enormous and with that we can guarantee that everyone using Todoist will be able to seamlessly sync tasks across all their devices and have a great experience and a smooth app and the satisfaction of the vast majority of our users who choose Todoist to have this experience was more important to us than scaling the software while the majority won't even benefit from it at all.
If your working style doesn't fit these limitations, then we're very sorry to hear that, but we want to keep Todoist a simple tool to manage tasks the way we believe is great for personal organization which is also the way our users choose Todoist.
Of course, in the future we may develop more advanced tools. We already offer Wedoist - a team-based project management tool which has no such limitation, even offers storage space for uploading documents and we're currently working on introducing interaction between both tools so that large projects or projects that don't require any context or breaking down into sub-tasks can be managed in Wedoist while Todoist will remain a personal task manager.
Best regards,
If you seriously use that many tasks in one project you have an issue! there is noting that should make you need THAT many tasks for ONE project.. These guys are doing a great job and people need to quit nit picking little things like this.. IF you have that many tasks for ONE project, break it into two projects. part 1 and two.. Not that difficult really. Small issue that is easily fixed outside of user error or ignorance
I think 150/80 is a fine limitation, especially considering how it improves performance. Like the above user said, and in reference to the person with the "to read" list of over 150 tasks... either break it up into multiple lists, or get different software for it. There are plenty of apps designed for exactly that purpose and not as all-encompassing task centers like todoist is. The focus here is due dates, subtasks, projects, etc. - none of which apply to a simple list of links.
I don't mean to criticize, I just think that the devs are doing an amazing job and that 150/80 is a more than generous limit.
150/80 is fine. Please work on something else.
This does have a lot of votes.
I suspect that this will be explained by a minority of users that use ToDoist as a simple list app.
But ToDoist is not a shopping list app - in fact, I'm not sure many families have more than 150 items on their supermarket shop list....
Just because *you* don't have projects with that many tasks doesn't mean they don't exist. Try launching a full website in under 150 tasks, I dare you. Especially with the ability to nest subtasks and then collapse the parent task, I'm a huge fan of breaking my project up into chunks, setting each chunk with a deadline, and then the smaller tasks inside with deadline guides. I can't do this if each task is converted to a project, subtasks to tasks, etc. because you can't set a due date to a project as a whole.
Then, if we already have to accommodate the task limit by making more projects, we're even closer to capping at 80 projects. For power users or GTD enthusiasts, this limitation is beyond a minor nuisance.
I do launch web sites and your personalisation of this important topic is unhelpful.
Further, your premise is incorrect, I suggest you review you post.
Some of us categorize tasks in different ways. Some of us use Todoist as more than a day-to-day to-do list. For example, I have a "bucket list" list in Todoist and there are definitely more than 150 tasks in there.
HEEM, how you seem to think giving a personal example of why this limit is not good is unhelpful baffles me. To spell it out in simple terms so you can understand - if an example can be given as to why the limit needs to be higher, it means the answer isn't black and white. Stop being so selfish to think that just because you don't need it, no one else does.
My premise is fine. Review your logic.
I need at least 300 active projects. I had to abandon Todoist when I hit the 80 project ceiling. Consequently I didn't renew my Todoist Premium subscription. I recently received an email announcing Todoist Next, but without more projects it does me no good to have the new features. I use a separate project name for each of my clients, and it doesn't make sense to add them as tasks inside a Clients project.
Would you consider bumping the premium limits? e.g. Projects from 80 up to 100/150/200?
Can there be an option to add more? Not sure why there is a limitation
Didn't one of the staff say that Wedoist doesn't have these limitations? And it seems to have the same features, if not more.
Linda, if I wanted to use another app then I would have already done that.
Just hit the limit for 80 projects, and i've still got a few to add. Not massively happy to be honest, given i've just paid for a year of premium. Again, any danger of adding an increase for premium users?
+1 for increasing 80 projects limit.
150 tasks for a project is ok for me, but 80 projects is far too low.
Please work out solution to this - this is the only problem with todoist for me. Otherwise it is truly magnificent product!
Another +1 for increasing the 80 projects limit.
Bartlomiej said it very well.
We have increased the limits for Premium users so on a free account, you can have up to 80 projects with up to 150 tasks in each project, but with Todoist Premium, you can now have up to 200 projects with up to 200 tasks in each project.
Please note that this change is being rolled out so it doesn't affect the iOS and Android app yet, but will very soon with the upcoming update to both apps.
Best regards,
Thank you David for the information and for the whole team for great job you're all doing!
Thank you!
(That sound you just heard? A big sigh of relief and appreciation from mid-town Toronto.)
Thanks for acting but not big enough at 200. I'll just run into the same problem in a year except this time I'll have even more dependency on Todoist when I'm left in the cold again. I need at least 300 projects, though 150 tasks per project is enough for me.
Hello Michael,
Unfortunately, we can't completely lift these limitations. Todoist is a personal task management app with sharing functions that can help small teams organize some projects. Unfortunately Todoist is neither fit nor meant for managing a corporation which runs over 300 projects with more than 200 tasks in each :-(
Best regards,
appreciate the change (this was top 3 for me)!
It's the most important for me!

Jewish Genealogy Society of Pittsburgh
Online Pennsylvania Birth and Death Records
New Pennsylvania legislation (SB-361) opened access to death certificates over 50 years old and birth certificates over 105 years old. The actual certificates will be sent to the Pennsylvania State Archives who has a contract with Ancestry.com to scan the records and put them online. When added they will be free to Pennsylvania residents. Scanning was originally set to be completed in early 2014. The latest details on this and related Pennsylvania projects are available at People for Better Pennsylvania Historical Records
While waiting for the scanning/indexing project to complete you may also order non-certified copies by US Mail ($5 each). The process is:
1) Search the Pennsylvania birth indices (1906-1908) or death indices (1906-1962) to obtain a Pennsylvania State File number. These names are in large, non searchable alphabetic PDF files by year. Death certificates in the 1930s seem to be sorted first by Soundex Code and then by given name which makes it easy to find records. It is not clear if this order is true for all years. These files contain tens of thousands of names (ie 200+ pages) so there may be multiple people with the exact same complete name. Thus, you should also check the city name on each record.
2) Once you have the correct name, city, date, and number go to the Pennsylvania State Archives website for information on visiting the archives in Harrisburg or ordering uncertified copies by mail. There is no current online ordering process for uncertified copies. You can still order certified copies online for a higher fee plus $10 per transaction from a State Archive partner!
I have ordered two uncertified copies by US mail (for a
husband and wife who both died in the 1930s) and
received them in two weeks. Both
certificates issued in Pittsburgh PA had the full names of
all four parents and the exact towns of birth in Russia around 1870.
None of
this information (except their father's given name) was available in
any other US source!

Squirrel Hill Historic Society Talk on Tree of Life Synagogue - Tuesday, March 11, 2014, 7:30 PM
The Squirrel Hill Historic Society will host a talk by David Dinken on "The History of Tree of Life* Or L'Simcha Congregation" on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 7:30pm at The Church of the Redeemer, located at 5700 Forbes Avenue near the Squirrel Hill JCC. The Tree of Life is one of Pittsburgh's oldest synagogues and was charted in 1865. In 1907 the congregation built a new and larger synagogue on Craft Avenue in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh. A map of this location appears as an example of the Pittsburgh Historic Mapping Project below.
Pittsburgh Jewish Newspaper Project
Pittsburgh is perhaps the only US
with a large Jewish population to have a
complete offering of freely accessible and searchable
online Jewish newspapers that encompass a span of over 100
years! This project is a result of Pittsburgh's traditional active
Jewish leadership, a generous Jewish community and one of the world's
leading science and engineering Universities located across the street
Pittsburgh's oldest and largest synagogue.
Carnegie Mellon University hosts the database and has online instructions and online video tutorials (click Help/Contact at the top of any page). The search engine is powerful but requires some analysis and planning. Significant family information can be found in birth, marriage and death notices that were published in every issue. You may also find bar/bat mitzvah announcements, confirmations, engagements, military announcements, social events, travel and visitation announcements, business stories, synagogue events. If you get real lucky there are photographs (especially engagements and brides) in every issue that could include a family member.
You can begin your search and get further information on the project from:

Pittsburgh Historic Mapping
If you are looking for streets where your grandparents lived you may have trouble finding them if they aren't there anymore. The Pittsburgh Mapping and Historical Site Viewer helps you find old neighborhoods, streets, and landmarks via overlays of Pittsburgh area maps and aerial photos. Maps with street names are available for 1835, 1855, 1872, 1882, 1890, 1900, 1910, and 1923. Aerial views with tags for key reference objects are available for 1939, 1957, 2005, and 2012. For help in locating streets select a Pittsburgh City Directory from the appropriate time period and use the index of streets that is in the front section. Once you find your street you can slide the time bar to see how the streets have changed over time.

9053 S Pecos Rd # 3000, Henderson, NV | Directions 8907436.025265 -115.101282
Monday through Friday 9 -5
There really is no point in looking around for a better surgeon because you won't find one. I drove 11 hours from Denver to see Dr. Hankins after consulting with 12 other doctors. Dr. Hankins was always attentive to my onslaught of emails, very knowledgeable and I could feel he had a genuine care and interest in helping me. I just had my breast aug 2 days ago and I am in love with my breasts finally. This was my 3rd revision after going to another doctor in Denver who left me very unsatisfied. Dr. Hankins was accepting and empathetic to my situation and his staff, oh my gosh, they made me feel like family. On top of all the wonderful things about the staff and Dr. Hankins, the surgery center was also amazing. Glenda, one of the nurses made me so comfortable and relaxed and she was so so funny. Have I mentioned how much I love these people? I will NEVER go back to another doctor for any other cosmetic surgeries. Dr. Hankins for life! Hehe. And I LOOOOVE my new boobs!
Does not work with Groupon! they post deals on Groupon that they dont want to honor, yet they mark them redeemed so you can loose your money! stay away!!
Love My New Implants!!!! – I absolutely love my new breast implants. The whole experience with Dr. Hankins and his staff was great. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Hankins knowledge and experience - ha has done over 2500 breast augmentations!!! He tried to understand the look I wanted and then gave it to me, while other surgeons just tried to fit me into the surgery they wanted to perform.
Best Plastic Surgery Office in Las Vegas!!! – Drs. Hankins and Sohn are simply the best - I had my procedure with Dr. Hankins and am ecstatic about the results. One of the best things about the office, however, is that because there are two plastic surgeons, there is always someone available to answer my questions. This made me feel so at ease after my procedure. After my procedure Dr.Sohn aswered all my questions and made me feel so much better. I highly recommend them :)
Exceptional Asthetic Services & Staff – Aesthetician Cheryl Thieme is phenomenal. Not only is she tremendously professional, knowledgeable and skilled, Cheryl is an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Cheryl truly takes the time to make recommendations specific to the needs of your skin and your lifestyle, as well as your commitment to maintenance. The best decision I ever made was to schedule a consultation with Cheryl! Karen and Chelsea at the reception desk certainly make you feel welcomed and cared for with their warm smiles and efficient service. I highly recommend visiting Cheryl Theime with Hankins Plastic Surgery Associates!
The Best Plastic Surgery Office Ever! – Dr. Sohn and his staff are the BEST! I had a mini face lift in January of this year and am thrilled with the results. The experience was wonderful, the staff is so professional, and compassionate, and i would do it all again with no hesitation. I live in North Carolina, and would go back to Vegas just to see Dr. Sohn....Love em all!!! I really appreciate everything and everyone at Hankins & Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates. From the time I scheduled my appointment (thank you so much Susan for being so helpful) to surgery with Dr. Sohn and Didi and then my wonderful pre and postop care with Amy. Words cannot express how grateful I am for all of you!

Superior Service – I recently had liposuction of the stomach at Hankins and Sohn Plastic Surgery Associates. The experience was very comfortable and Dr. Sohn took his time to explain the entire procedure to me and even answered my questions/concerns thoroughly. The staff was friendly, patient and extremely compassionate. I cannot wait to go back next month for my breast augmentation!
Great office!!!!! – I recently had a consultation with Ariana Cosmetic and found there office to be one of the best! Both the doctor and the staff were amazing! I felt comfortable from the minute I walked in the door. The doctor took time to explain the procedures to me in detail and I felt very confident after visiting with their office. I can't wait to have my surgery done!
Great Staff – I live and work in LA and I've been to many spas there. While in Vegas for a mini-vacation, I found, via an internet search, Ariana. I made an appointment and was delighted and very surprised to find the quality of service and professionalism far exceeded what I was accustomed to in my home town. I was so pleased that I actually set a consultation appointment with Dr. Hankins (Plastic Surgeon) who is based at this office. I had the opportunity to speak with several clients/patients of the facility and all of them had glowing reports about the entire staff and the Doctor.

Shot Placement on African Plains Game

Shot Placement on African Plains Game
I was fortunate enough to listen to a lecture presented by Kevin Robertson (Doctari)
After that I bought his shot placement book as well as the DVD.
And with the shots I have taken I applied a few guidelines he talks about in his book and DVD and if I did my job and make sure of the shot the arrow connect with the vitals and the animal is normally down with in 50 yards.
Here is a couple of photos of animals I have drawn in the vital triangle in yellow and the red dot indicate where I would want to place the arrow.
The main goal is to hit the top of the hart and achieve a double lung shot.
What this shot does is cut of both the blood flow by cutting the aorta as well as puncturing the lungs.
It also allow for the biggest target to allow for the shooter to make mistakes and still hit the vitals.
If your shot goes higher you still hit the lungs.
Little lower and you hit the hart.
Little forward and you should hit the front parts of the lungs.
Back and you may still get lungs or liver.
I have only used quartering away or broad side photos as I believe as bow hunters we should not take a quartering towards, face on or walking away shot on animals.
With a rifle thats a different story.
So let have a look at the animals and let me know if you agree or not.
If you do not agree let me know why you do not agree as I might also make mistakes..... lol
When the Impala is broad side I use the horizontal line where the light and dark comes together on the shoulder.
Look for the inverted SGT stripes on the shoulder...
The vitals for cats are not on the same spot as where one would normally aim. You have to go further back than normally.

This is a great post Gerhard. It is important for those of us that have hunted North America to see and understand shot placement on African animals. The vitals are much farther forward on African animals than they are on North American animals. When we are learning to hunt here in the States we are told to aim behind the shoulder about one third to one half up into the body. Unfortunately, on some African game this would be a gut shot. One my first safari we did have problems with zebra and blesboc but did not lose any animals. My second safari went smoothly but my third safari was for buffalo and I purchased all of Doctari's stuff including the perfect shot posters with the vitals showing on the back. I spent much time studying and thinking about shot placement. When it actually came down to the shot on my buffalo I knew where I wanted to hit it and the buffalo did not make 50 yards after the hit. While at the Dallas Safari Club convention I was able to stop by Doctari's booth and thank him for his books and other materials. I have an elephant hunt booked for this year and I received my Perfect Shot elephant poster in the mail this week. As hunters we must always do our best to make quick clean kills and the best way to do this is by understanding animal anatomy and practice with our equipment (gun, bow, muzzleloader).

Good subject. I can tell you that even over here in North America I find hunters tend to shoot too far back or two high or both. I spend way too many hours chasing wounded game every year and this is especially true with bear. It does not matter how many times you tell them to aim so that you take out at least one and preferably both shoulders, they fall back into 'shooting a whitetail mode' and just try for an every day lung shot.............hitting too far back and end up hitting the liver or a gut shot.
When you take out the plumbing at the top of the heart it is very rapid. Much faster than a regular heart shot throught the muscle of the heart..........it is like rapid decompression. That is precisely what I did on my first cape buffalo, a slight quartering away/almost broadside shot, and he was down and out before he had gone 40 yards, blowing blood everywhere as he went.Skyline Adventures
My blue wildebeest I hunted with the bow last year I shot him on 23 yards broad side in the middle of the vital triangle.
Arrow passed just over the heart taking out the plumbing as well as both lungs.
The blue wildebeest went 30 yards from the shot.Gerhard
I agree this is a good subject. I'm going on my first plains game safari in September and one of the first things I did was purchase Dr. Robertson's "The Perfect Shot" on advice from friends. It has been very helpful indeed. While I will be using a rifle on this hunt, the basic principles can apply to both methods.
One extra tip I would think you could add would be on the quartering away shots. If you look at the bushbuck you have posted and the shot placement dot, it lines up perfectly with the OFF SHOULDER. In other words, visualise your arrow needing to end up at the off shoulder and aiming accordingly. This will ensure that you will hit the vitals as the arrow passes through the body of the animal.
This would apply to rifle hunting as well.
With quartering away shots and even broad side shots you need to determine where you want the arrow or bullet to exit.
This will ensure that you draw a straight line trough the vitals and get an aiming point on the animal....Gerhard

This is great info us who live in Canada. If we shot a moose, Elk or bear in the same spots as shown here, it would be nothing but solid shoulder blade. All the shot placement photos are so beneficial! Keep up the good info.

First of all, truth in lending - I have not taken a bow to Africa. However, I have taken thirty or forty whitetails with a bow and have some experience with a rifle on plains game during two safaris (also a buf and leopard). The placement you indicate is indeed ideal for a rifle. With a 180gr 30-06 or similar round, none of the game you indicate would travel more than fifty yards. The "magic triangle" is just that - with a rifle. I would think long and hard before releasing on a zebra or gemsbok as you have indicated. You are taking on a lot of internal structure on a large and very hard animal. Eventually, I would think you are at great risk for a deflection or insufficient penetration resulting in a single lung or liver strike. That can make at best for a very long day or a very expensive drop of blood. Shots as indicated on the impala and other deer-sized game should be no problem, but I would give one of the big guys every opportunity to offer the shot you illustrate with the wildebeast."We sleep peaceably in our beds because rough men stand ready in the

Red Leg, I can tell you that if you are hunting with a bow, it is very important to try for exactly where the kill shots are posted here.

Although I have never been to africa I already know the perfect spot to shoot any african game animal... right where your PH tells you to!!! LOL
Years ago I guided a moose hunter that was adimant that a moose needed to be shot in the hump "You have to break them down" he kept saying despite never having seen an actual moose in his life. He also sighted his gun in 4" high at 100yds "for long shots" despite the fact that he was used to sighting in dead on at 100yds. Long story short he ended up shooting a giant B&C moose in the hump which went even higher because at 75 yds his gun was shooting well above the line of sight and in his exitement he forgot he sighted it in high. Shaken up and sore that moose exited the mountain side never to be seen again. Even with his bungling of the sight in and what not if he had just taken my advice about shooting for the center of the vitals he would have been well inside the kill zone and taken home the moose of a lifetime.
Thanks for taking the time to put those photos together.The journey is the reward.

In addition to the symptoms of strep throat, a red rash appears on the sides of your chest and abdomen. It may spread to cover most of your body. This rash appears as tiny, red pinpoints and has a rough texture like sandpaper. If you press on the rash, it loses color or turns white.
Other symptoms can include:
The skin on the tips of your fingers and toes often peels after you get better. If you have a severe case, you may have a high fever, nausea, and vomiting.

I have been trying to figure out how to activate 1.1.3 with no success as it seems most the ways to do it require your phone to be jailbroke and the Phone Activation Server will only work with itunes 7.3 which will give a error now saying you must upgrade itunes to work with the iphone.
The reason why I am trying to do this is because I am a at&t customer (who chose to not do the two year contract) and previously had a 1.1.2 OOB which I had activated and was woking fine but then accidently upgraded.
So now I am on to thinking maybe a new itunes version could be hex edited to use the Phone Activation Server and activate 1.1.3
If anyone has ideas for this please let me know.

Insight into complications and treatment
• What is a thyroid disorder?
• What treatment may be recommended?
• What is thyroid surgery?
• and more...
Your thyroid gland is one of the endocrine glands that makes hormones to regulate physiological functions in your body, like metabolism (heart rate, sweating, energy consumed). Other endocrine glands include the pituitary, adrenal, and parathyroid glands and specialized cells within the pancreas.
The thyroid gland is located in the middle of the lower neck, below the larynx (voice box) and wraps around the front half of the trachea (windpipe). It is shaped like a bow tie, just above the collarbones, having two halves (lobes) joined by a small tissue bar (isthmus.). You can't always feel a normal thyroid gland.
What is a thyroid disorder?
Diseases of the thyroid gland are very common, affecting millions of Americans. The most common thyroid problems are:
• An overactive gland, called hyperthyroidism (e.g., Graves' disease, toxic adenoma or toxic nodular goiter)
• An underactive gland, called hypothyroidism (e.g., Hashimoto's thyroiditis)
• Thyroid enlargement due to overactivity (as in Graves' disease) or from under-activity (as in hypothyroidism). An enlarged thyroid gland is often called a "goiter."
Patients with a family history of thyroid cancer or who had radiation therapy to the head or neck as children for acne, adenoids, or other reasons are more prone to develop thyroid malignancy.
If you develop significant swelling in your neck or difficulty breathing or swallowing, you should call your surgeon or be seen in the emergency room.
What treatment may be recommended?
Hyperthyroidism treatment:
Goiters (lumps):
• Medication to block the effects of excessive production of thyroid hormone
• Radioactive iodine to destroy the thyroid gland
• Surgical removal of the thyroid gland
• An imaging study to determine the size, location, and characteristics of any nodules within the gland. Types of imaging studies include CT or CAT scans, ultrasound, or MRIs.
• A fine-needle aspiration biopsy—a safe, relatively painless procedure. With this procedure, a hypodermic needle is passed into the lump, and tissue fluid samples containing cells are taken. Several passes with the needle may be required. Sometimes ultrasound is used to guide the needle into the nodule. There is little pain afterward and very few complications from the procedure. This test gives the doctor more information on the nature of the lump in your thyroid gland and may help to differentiate a benign from a malignant or cancerous thyroid mass.
• Thyroid surgery may be required when:
- the fine needle aspiration is reported as indeterminate, suspicious or suggestive of cancer
- imaging shows that nodules have worrisome characteristics or that nodules are getting bigger
- the trachea (windpipe) or esophagus are compressed because one or both lobes are very large
Historically, some thyroid nodules, including some that are malignant, have shown a reduction in size with the administration of thyroid hormone. However, this treatment, known as medical "suppression" therapy, has proven to be an unreliable treatment method.
What is thyroid surgery?
Thyroid surgery is an operation to remove part or all of the thyroid gland. It is performed in the hospital, and general anesthesia is usually required. Typically, the operation removes the lobe of the thyroid gland containing the lump and possibly the isthmus. A frozen section (immediate microscopic reading) may be used to determine if the rest of the thyroid gland should be removed during the same surgery.
Sometimes, based on the result of the frozen section, the surgeon may decide not to remove any additional thyroid tissue, or proceed to remove the entire thyroid gland, and/or other tissue in the neck. This decision is usually made in the operating room by the surgeon, based on findings at the time of surgery. Your surgeon will discuss these options with you preoperatively.
As an alternative, your surgeon may choose to remove only one lobe and await the final pathology report before deciding if the remaining lobe needs to be removed. There also may be times when the definite microscopic answer cannot be determined until several days after surgery. If a malignancy is identified in this way, your surgeon may recommend that the remaining lobe of the thyroid be removed at a second procedure. If you have specific questions about thyroid surgery, ask your otolaryngologist to answer them in detail.
What happens after thyroid surgery?
• Bleeding
• Bleeding under the skin that rarely can cause shortness of breath requiring immediate medical evaluation
• A hoarse voice
• Difficulty swallowing
• Numbness of the skin on the neck
• Vocal cord paralysis
• Low blood calcium
At home:
• Thyroid hormone replacement
• Calcium and/or vitamin D replacement
Some symptoms may not become evident for two or three days after surgery. If you experience any of the following, call your surgeon or seek medical attention:
• Numbness and tingling around the lips and hands
• Increasing pain
• Fever
• Swelling
• Wound discharge
• Shortness of breath
If a malignancy is identified, thyroid replacement medication may be withheld for several weeks. This allows a radioactive scan to better detect any remaining microscopic thyroid tissue, or spread of malignant cells to lymph nodes or other sites in the body.
How is a diagnosis made?
The diagnosis of a thyroid function abnormality or a thyroid mass is made by taking a medical history and a physical examination. In addition, blood tests and imaging studies or fine-needle aspiration may be required. As part of the exam, your doctor will examine your neck and ask you to lift up your chin to make your thyroid gland more prominent. You may be asked to swallow during the examination, which helps to feel the thyroid and any mass in it. Tests your doctor may order include:
• Evaluation of the larynx/vocal cords with a mirror or a fiberoptic telescope
• An ultrasound examination of your neck and thyroid
• Blood tests of thyroid function
• A radioactive thyroid scan
• A fine-needle aspiration biopsy
• A chest X-ray
• A CT or MRI scan
