Genealogists ask a lot of questions. That's what research is all about! Some of the same questions keep coming up over and over, however, particularly among those new to tracing their family tree. Here are ten of the most popular genealogy questions, with the answers you need to get you started on the rewarding quest for your roots.
1. How Do I Begin to Trace My Family Tree?
Start with yourself and work backwards through the generations, recording each person's major life events on ancestor charts. Interview your relatives - especially the elder ones - and ask them if they have any family documents, photos, baby books, or heirlooms. Don't forget to enjoy the journey - what you learn about your heritage is more important than how many generations back you can take your family tree.More: Begin Tracing Your Family Tree: Step by Step
2. What Does My Last Name Mean?
Only occasionally does your last name provide insight into where your family originally came from. The same surname often originates in many different places or has multiple possible meanings. Or it may be that the present incarnation of your surname bears little resemblance to the one carried by your distant ancestor due to spelling variations or anglicization. It is fun, however, to learn what your last name means and how it was derived.More: How to Trace the Origin of Your Surname
3. Where Can I Find the Book on My Family?
Many people curious about their roots expect to begin and end their search quickly, hoping to find their family tree already done. It doesn't often happen, but both published and unpublished family histories can be found at public libraries, in the collections of local historical and genealogical societies, and on the Internet. Try a search in the Library of Congress and Family History Library catalogs. Review all published genealogies carefully, as most contain some inaccuracies.4. What is the Best Genealogy Software?
It may sound cliche, but the best genealogy program basically boils down to finding the one that's right for you. Almost all family tree software does a good job of letting you enter your family data and view and print it in a wide variety of formats. The differences add up in the features and extras. Try them out before you buy - most genealogy software programs offer free trial versions or a money-back guarantee.More: Genealogy Software Roundup
5. How Do I Make a Family Tree?
Family trees are meant to be shared and most people want to find a way to do it beautifully or creatively. A number of fancy family tree charts can be purchased or printed. Full-size wall charts make more room for big families, and great conversation starters at family reunions. Alternatively, you can create a family history book, CD-ROM, scrapbook, or even a cookbook. The point is to have fun and be creative when sharing your family's heritage.More: 5 Ways to Chart & Display Your Family Tree
6. What is a First Cousin, Twice Removed?
How am I related to so and so is a question that often comes up at family reunions. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and first cousins are easy, but once you get into more distant family relationships most of us get lost in the tangle. The trick to determining the actual relationship between two family members is to start with the ancestor they both have in common. From there, a handy cousin calculator or relationship chart can do the rest.More: Kissin' Cousins - Family Relationships Explained
7. Am I Related to Someone Famous?
Have you heard that you're descended from a president or royalty? Or perhaps you suspect a family connection to a movie star or celebrity? Maybe you even share a surname with someone famous, and wonder if you're somehow related. Just like any other family tree research, you need to start with yourself and work back toward a connection with the famous individual. Many famous family trees can be found online, which can help in making a connection.More: Researching Famous (or Infamous) Ancestors
8. Where Can I Find Birth, Death and Marriage Records?
Vital records, called such because they record life's "vital" events, are the building blocks of a family tree. Records of the births, marriages and deaths of your ancestors will generally be civil (government) records back to a certain point in time, which varies by state, parish or country. Prior to that, church or parish registers are the most common source for information on vital records. Tombstone records can also provide clues.More: Where to Find Vital Records - Online and Off
9. What is My Family Coat of Arms?
There are hundreds of companies who will sell you "your family coat of arms" on a t-shirt, mug, or 'handsomely engraved' plaque. They look nice, and make great conversation starters, but actually most likely have nothing to do with your family. Coats of arms are granted to individuals, not families or surnames, and may rightfully be used only by the male line descendants of the person to whom the coat of arms was originally granted.More: Heraldry & Coats of Arms - A Primer for Genealogists
10. Where Did My Ancestors Come From?
What town or country did your ancestors originally come from? Did they sail across the ocean to America or Australia? Or move down the road from one town to the next? Learning where they came from is the key to a new branch in your family tree. Read up on history to learn about common migration patterns or check with relatives for info on family customs or surname origins. Records of death, marriage and immigration may also hold a clue.More: Finding the Birthplace of Your Immigrant Ancestor

GPS buying guide
Standalone GPS devices are slowly being displaced by smartphones and apps, but here are a few things that you'll need to know when shopping for a portable navigation device.
I get it. Portable navigation devices (PNDs) are a bit archaic at this point. In a world where every smartphone and tablet has some sort of GPS receiver built into it and most cars offer some sort of navigation option, buying a standalone GPS navigator seems both superfluous and archaic.
Yet, the PND market is far from dead. There are still a number of good reasons to choose a standalone GPS device. So if you're interested, here are our top picks.
Garmin Nuvi 3597 LMTHD
The Garmin Nuvi 3597 is the latest flagship of Garmin's line of GPS navigators, building on Garmin's tradition of great PNDs with even better destination entry through search, an ultra-thin form factor with a magnetic base, a crisp 5-inch capacitive color touch screen, and a voice features that I absolutely love. Turn-by-turn directions use natural landmarks instead of unfamiliar distances to verbally guide you and the voice command system is truly hands-free requiring only a spoken command to active. A lifetime free traffic updates over the HD Radio band and free map updates further sweeten the pot.
Magellan SmartGPS
The Magellan SmartGPS is a portable navigation device, but it's also part of a larger system that includes a smartphone app and cloud-based destination management. You can search for a destination at your laptop and automatically start navigation when you get to your car. You can also use the PND's built-in Yelp and Foursquare integration to pick a place. Once you've parked, the destination can be transferred to your phone for walking directions. On the other hand, the SmartGPS' display can feel a bit cluttered at times with live information constantly updating its tiled interface.
Garmin Nuvi 50 LM
People looking to save a few bucks should take a look at the Garmin Nuvi 50 LM. This simple GPS device still manages to offer a largish 5-inch screen and lifetime map updates included in its 179.99 price point. Those looking for an emergency GPS device to keep in the glove compartment can save even more by stepping down to the 3.5-inch Nuvi 30 for $109.99.
Why would you even want a PND at this point?
Standalone GPS navigators are, for starters, simpler to use for nontechies. You don't have to multitask, the interface of a PND is usually more straightforward than that of a smartphone app and, incoming calls and messages won't interrupt your route guidance. Also, tech-averse drivers can avoid the fear of breaking something or needing tech support.
It's also been my experience that smartphones aren't exactly infallible. I've seen updates and carrier data blackouts cripple a phone. A careless drop into water or onto concrete can transform a handset into a useless lump of shiny plastic and glass. Keeping even a cheap PND in the car is a good backup plan in the event that your phone fails you when you're on the road; it's the modern day equivalent of a paper map.
Standalone GPS devices are also easier to share than a smartphone, which is a fairly intimate piece of tech. Most of us wouldn't loan our phones to a visiting relative or share a phone with a significant other, but a GPS device can be left in your vehicle's glove compartment for use by anyone in the family who uses the car or loaned to a roommate who's heading out of town on a road trip.
Tips for choosing the right GPS device
1. Screen size matters. You may be tempted to save a buck by opting for a device with a tiny 3.5-inch screen, but a larger screen is helpful for being able to view the maps and turn-by-turn directions at a glance, which means that you'll potentially end up spending less time scrutinizing the screen and more time scanning the road ahead. However, be careful that you don't go too big for your needs. It's possible to obscure too much of your windshield's real estate with an ill-placed 7-inch unit, reducing visibility and vehicle safety.
2. Traffic data isn't a must, but you should consider it. If the GPS device that you're looking at offers free lifetime traffic data, then this issue becomes a no-brainer. Just know that the free traffic offered on these devices is often of a lower quality when compared with the premium/paid traffic services offered by the same provider.
For those who live in areas where traffic isn't a huge issue (or those who only plan to use their GPS device sparingly), maintaining and paying for a subscription to a premium traffic service is probably not the best idea. However, for drivers in major metropolitan areas where gridlock can be an issue (such as San Francisco, where we do our GPS testing), traffic services like TomTom's HD Traffic can mean the difference between getting home in time for dinner and sitting in a jam caused by a baseball game.
3. Look for lifetime map updates. This is probably the most important thing to look for as your GPS navigator is only as good as the map data that it uses to route your trips. Map updates not only add new roads to the locally stored map, but also fix errors in older maps (street names, traffic directions), and refresh the database of points of interest (POIs), removing dead entries for closed businesses and adding new destinations. Paying for these updates can get expensive over the long run, but paying a bit extra on the front end for lifetime map updates can save you money and dramatically lengthen the lifetime of your GPS device.

Lung transplant recipients are routinely followed in clinic every three months after the first year post-transplant. Spirometry with measurement of FEV1, FVC and FEF25-75 are obtained at each visit. In addition, lung transplant recipients undergo surveillance bronchoscopy at one, three, six, nine and twelve months. All bronchoscopy specimens that are obtained for this study will be obtained during bronchoscopies that were scheduled per the physician caring for the patient. An extra 90 cc of sterile solution will be instilled into bronchus and two extra transbronchial biopsies will be performed in addition to the routine bronchoscopic procedure. Routinely, 4-8 transbronchial biopsy samples are obtained from the transplanted lung. Two specimens will be randomly selected for study and the rest will undergo routine histopathologic study. The study biopsies will be set aside and processed. The study visits for this research will occur at the same time as standard of care post transplant visits. We will collect subject's history,demographic of subject's transplant data,donor procurement information, physical exam information, pregnancy tests,blood test and spirometry results from the visits mentioned above.

Energy Savings Case Study Analysis
Abstract: The Redwood Building-Performance Lighting Platform has enabled clients to realize an industry-best average of 75% energy savings on their lighting electrical load. Redwood Systems' patented technology enables advanced lighting policies that maximize energy savings. This paper details actual customer experience across a variety of facility types including office space, data centers and educational institutions that show a range of measured energy savings between 78% and 93%.
Enhancing Building Performance
Abstract: Learn what Facebook and SAP already know. Get the Enhancing Building Performance white paper to learn how modern systems are increasing the standards for building performance across a range of dimensions. Plus learn how the lighting system can be a cost-effective platform for building performance enabling reduced costs, higher energy efficiency and enhanced productivity.
A Comparison of Low Voltage & Overlay Lighting Systems
Abstract: Almost every lighting control system available today is an overlay system. An overlay system uses either a wireless or wired network to control AC line voltage powered lights. These systems are called overlay systems because the control network is overlaid on top of the existing AC lighting power infrastructure. Low voltage lighting control systems, in contrast, supply an intelligent low-voltage network that both powers and controls LED light fixtures in a single system, in addition to providing building intelligence. This eliminates the need for costly and inflexible line voltage installation and provides a far more efficient lighting system.
Redwood System Architecture White Paper
Abstract: This paper describes Redwood Systems' building-performance lighting platform that: 1) powers and controls lights over a single low voltage wire or category cable, 2) includes a fine-grain sensor network that constantly gathers data about the facility, and 3) is built upon an open software platform that is able to provide bi-directional communication with building automation systems and other applications. This architectural approach is proven to save an average of 75% energy consumption from lighting, while providing information about how a facility is lit, heated and occupied.
Lighting and the Efficient Data Center White Paper
Abstract: While a common approach to lighting in data centers is to leave the lights off, there are practical reasons why many data centers cannot adopt that approach. Though lighting is not a major component of the energy load in a data center, it is an infrastructure area that is relatively easy to address. Redwood Systems' Building-Performance Lighting Platform is one of the more efficient methods of lighting a data center.
The Advantages of LEDs for Commercial Applications White Paper
Abstract: This paper highlights the advantages of using LED lighting in the commercial space across several business and technical considerations such as efficiency, costs, maintenance and lighting quality.

Robbins police chief who retired after two DUIs still getting paid
BY CASEY TONER SUN-TIMES MEDIA March 23, 2013 1:36PM
Johnny Lewis Holmes said Monday night that he had retired as police chief of Robbins last week. | Supplied photo
Updated: March 23, 2013 7:33PM
Former Robbins police Chief Johnny Holmes — who retired in January after being charged with his second DUI in the past three years — is continuing to be paid by the south suburban government into next month, records show. Village officials say they agreed to pay Holmes $1,923 every two weeks through April 19 because he doesn't have a state pension Village Trustee Shantiel Simon said Holmes initially signed up for a retirement plan through the state, then opted out, and the Robbins village administration never signed him back up. "We knew we had to let him go, but we thought about his family, and here's a guy that's about to walk away with nothing," Simon said. Holmes, who is also a member of the Community High School District 218 Board, was arrested in Midlothian in December for driving drunk. The police said he was so disoriented after being pulled over that he thought he was still in neighboring Posen. According to court records, Holmes was sentenced to court supervision and paid more than $1,000 in fees for the 2010 DUI. Records show Holmes was put on paid leave from March through May 2010 while the village administration investigated the DUI, but he kept his job. In May 2010, he was ordered to turn in the keys he had for any village-owned vehicles. Holmes had two stints as police chief since 1991. He was fired in December 2003 for "deficiencies in current police services and continuous complaints from citizens," according to a letter from outgoing Mayor Irene Brodie. He was rehired as chief two years later with a $10,000 pay increase, boosting his pay to $50,000, according to village records. The Cook County sheriff's police — who are now aiding the Robbins department — said last month they discovered 51 untested rape kits sitting in an evidence room, some dating to 1981. They also found 55 guns in a barrel that never were sent to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, where their original ownership was to be traced. Holmes did not respond to messages seeking comment.

Recipe from Good Food magazine, October 2005
Comments, questions and tips
You can't beat apple chutney, especially with cold meats the day after! I love making things that last as well, so if you make enough jars you can not only give to friends and family but will not have to buy a jar of chutney all year!
I used dessert apples for this recipe beacause we had so many so I reduced the amount of sugar to 500g from 750g and it worked well. I wasn't sure if the weight of apples was after peeling and coring or before. I opted for after and the recipe made 7 x 1lb jars worth.
It took me twice as long to peel and chop the apples than the preparation time given but maybe that was because they were smaller and I had to chop out bruises & inhabitants. Otherwise it was straightforward and easy. It tastes great now even though I guess it needs to mature.
I will definitely make it again next year.
Read the comments but decided to stick with the recipe and glad we did - it was delicious! I have never made chutney before but it was so easy. It did take longer than the recommended 30-40 mins to thicken (closer to an hour) but patience paid off. We have a glut of apples in the garden so will definitely make again. Great for presents!
This turned out really well. I didn't have raisins in at the time, so used some dried, ready to eat apricots (the dark, non-sulphured ones). I chopped them up, chucked them in the pan with a few extra spices (which included a good pinch or 2 of chilli flakes, some ground cloves, ground coriander seeds etc.) and it has turned out fantastic!
Will definitley make again, as I still have lots of apples to use up. Try experimenting with a few more spices - it worked really well for me!
Even though I'm a lover of quince with cheese, I found this to be very sweet, and overloaded with a few things.
In the less column: raisins (400g), vinegar (5-600ml), sugar (500-600g) perhaps use a darker sugar, but only 500g
In the more column: apples (2kg)The extra sweetness was probably down to the fact that I used eaters instead of cookers (the extra sweetness would be needed to cut through the cookers, but even so probably not that much.

Harn Museum Displays Dutch Prints by Rembrandt and His Contemporaries
Printmaking in the Age of Rembrandt opens February 5
Among the highlights of the exhibition are etchings by Rembrandt—a master of light and shadow whose paintings, drawings and prints have placed him among the greatest creative talents of all time. The exhibition will feature nine of his prints alongside etchings and engravings by his Dutch contemporaries including Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617), Jan Dirkszoon Both (c.1618-1652), Jacob van Ruisdael (1628-1682), Esaias van de Velde (c. 1591-1630) and Jan van de Velde II (c. 1593-1641), among other artists.
Printmaking in the Age of Rembrandt is organized by the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire, and the prints in this exhibition are drawn from the Currier's permanent collection. The Harn Museum of Art will broaden the scope of the original exhibition by adding 37 prints drawn from the collections of the Currier Museum of Art and the Harn Museum. These represent 16th and 17th-century artists from Germany, Flanders, France, Italy and Switzerland. These selections expand the range of artists and countries represented in the original exhibition and illustrate the use of similar themes and techniques by artists outside the Dutch Republic. Special highlights include prints by Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1526), Theodor de Bry (Franco-Flemish, 1528–1598), Agostino Carracci (Italian, 1557-1602), Jacques Callot (French, c. 1592-c. 1635), Anthony van Dyck (Flemish, 1599-1641) and Salvator Rosa (Italian, 1615-1673).
Seventeenth-century Dutch paintings, books and maps will also be on display and will further illustrate overlapping themes and motifs in other media of the period. The books and maps are on loan from the University of Florida's George A. Smathers Libraries while the paintings are on loan from The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, and Appleton Museum of Art.
Admission is free. This exhibition is made possible locally by the Harn Program Endowment and the Eloise R. Chandler Program Endowment, with additional support from the Margaret J. Early Program Endowment.

Near Term Trend: PositiveFriday's Close: 1.38006 (+ 97)UPDATE: The Euro still remains between the 1.32500 to 1.38500 regions for the last 6 months. As we noted three weeks ago: "The slope of the 21- Day M.A. Line has shifted positive signaling the "crowd" is now legitimately Neutral to Positive". More importantly, we stated, "Odds favor a continued pop higher- but not a lot of juice in an intermediate term trade". Post those comments, the Euro remains bid, and is threatening to break above key resistance (1.38500). Next few days are critical as key resistance is tested.

Just wanted to drop a note and tell you that during my last car wash at the Annapolis site, someone found a ring that was in my car and put it in the "drink holder area". I did not even realize it had fell out of my purse. I was very impressed by the honesty of the staff and wanted to thank them.
Thought it was very professional and hip... I work at a hotel so I will definitely recommend this facility to my guests.
ALWAYS GREAT SERVICE! Thank you very much.
I had my car detailed at your Serverna Park location. The staff and service was GREAT! I am very pleased with the outcome. My car looks like it did when I bought it NEW. I was very tempted to purchase another car, but YOU SAVED ME! I will be back. THANK YOU!

When I bought my first iPad, I thought: this is good, I can quickly retrieve my email, quickly get access to the internet, do a lot of casual things that don't require me launching a PC. The iPad quickly proved that I can pay bills, watch movies & TV shows, and do some minor work related documentation. But when the iPad2 was released, I decided to buy it and move all my business related stuff to that iPad--which has worked very well. Then this past March 2012, the new iPad was released with retina display and I could not resist on buying this generation. So I am watching a lot of movies and TV shows (via Netflix) on this iPad because of the beautiful screen.Originally Posted by Gzoladz
While I have rationalized to a great extent the acquisition of all three iPads, I am the first to admit, there is nothing 'practical' about these purchases. This is complete self-gratification. Friends have asked me if I want to sell them or gift them any of these iPads, my reply is: get your own fix! (LOL)
Regarding the original question, if Apple asked me what I would like from them on their next iPad? I would recommend a reduction in price and an increase in storage, retiring the 16Gig storage and starting it @ 32Gig. Apple is extremely profitable, they can afford it.

OK.....just where did practicality come into play here?
I guess I don't consider much of anything about the iPad to be practical......at least not the way I use it.
It's fun, easy to use, and entertaining.........nuff said.
btw - I own 5 different iPods.
iPad 4 - 64GB Black Wi-FI

I don't see why I need to be practical with devices (or TVs) besides being able to afford what I buy.
I've had four iPods, have an iPad 3 now, am getting an iPhone 5 in two weeks, and want a MacBook Pro in the future. There is no practical when it comes to me and Apple. I tried rationalizing the iPad for school, which it really has been nice and productive, but at the end of the day, it's still more of a luxury than necessity without question. But if I could have anything, I would like more storage for less money, better battery life, and for them to maintain the great materials. The iPad just feels like its quality. And that is why I couldn't say no to it.

I would love the iPad to be my one-stop solution for tablets. Someone asked where the practicality in owning two tablets was, and I'll tell you exactly why I would own two tablets. The devices cannot actually "do everything" I need. The iPad is limited on storage space, but has tremendous selection in applications. The iPad cannot install other software, but it has tremendous battery life (comparative to my laptop).
In some ways, the iPad I have replaces my laptop, and in others I can't stomach doing certain tasks on my iPad (I do not jailbreak my devices) like online banking, and secure transactions. I would never do my taxes on my iPad, I don't feel like word processing and document creation, file browsing is something made for the iPad's interface. All of these things I require the use of a PC for. In Feb 2013, I will be replacing my laptop with the Microsoft Surface Pro for those reasons, because a one-stop solution for tablets these days does not exist. The iPad for me will always be a tremendously powerful and beautiful multimedia device, but I don't feel like I'll ever be comfortable with doing EVERYTHING from my iPad.
If Apple could find a way to actually turn the iPad into the likes of their Macbook Pro's, etc. that'd be amazing.

Beyond Spirit Tailings: Montana's Mysteries, Ghosts, and Haunted Places
Book Will Keep Readers Up At Night
2006 Award of Merit Winner
The master of Montana's mysteries, ghosts and haunted places is back with another book about things that go bump in the Big Sky night.
In her first book, titled Spirit Tailings,author Ellen Baumler introduced Montanans to their haunted past with stories of the mining communities of Virginia City, Butte, and Helena.
In her second book for the Montana Historical Society Press, Beyond Spirit Tailings, Baumler takes the reader across the state with stories of the unexplained.
Baumler came across these ghostly and mysterious tales in her work as interpretive historian for the Montana Historical Society. As she traveled the state researching historic houses and other properties over the years, Baumler heard stories that weren't necessarily the kind of thing one puts on historic signs.
She began keeping files and later looked into the facts behind the tales. "Whether you believe in them completely or not, these stories are a part of Montana history," Baumler said. "The stories and legends that spring up around unusual events become part of the fabric of our communities."
In the "Bishop of All Outdoors," Baumler presents the gruesome story of Havre clergyman L.J. Christler that includes details and an illustration of the original banner headline from the 1922 incident: "HAVRE WOMAN KILLS MINISTER AND TURNS GUN UPON HERSELF."
After recounting the fascinating details and, later, rumors and ghostly sightings in the wake of the murder, Baumler takes it forward, noting "the Christler's handsome home at Hill Top Farm was never finished, never sold, never lived in except by wild creatures."
The house eventually burned under mysterious circumstances leaving only the chimney. "Such ruins draw the curious, and this one has a magnetism like that of its long ago builder. It is a ruin, as the Bishop of All Outdoors himself might have said, with 'the charm of invincibility stamped upon the tragedy.'"
As with all of the 23 stories in the new book, Baumler follows this tale with a list of sources providing more information for the curious to pursue in tracking down the story of the bishop.
"These kind of stories draw many people into community and state history, sometimes for the first time," Baumler said. "It is my hope that these historical ghost books will get more people interested in local history."
Baumler is also the nationally award-winning author and editor of Girl from the Gulches: The Story of Mary Ronan., also published by the Montana Historical Society Press.
Baumler's first Spirit Tailings book has become one of the Montana Historical Society's best sellers and is now in its third printing.
Beyond Spirit Tailings is a 200-page book that includes 20 illustrations sells for $13.95 and is available at local bookstores across the state, or can be ordered directly, plus shipping and handling, from the Montana Historical Society by calling toll-free 1-800-243-9900.

I'm excited to announce that Seeking Alpha has passed 1 million members, and is adding over 2,000 members per market day. In other words, we've doubled our size in less than two years, and at our current growth rate expect to double again in even less time. This is important for five reasons:
1. Seeking Alpha is one of the handful of new media startups which has built an outstandingly valuable product. Our goal is to help people invest better, by presenting them with valuable insight and information, allowing them to choose between different perspectives, and empowering them to discuss ideas with other smart investors. To do this, we combine financial content from a broad contributor base with oversight by a team of human editors. We add our own real-time news coverage (Market Currents). And for members, we offer personalization (watchlists and portfolios, the ability to follow authors, customizable email alerts), discussion tools (comments, StockTalks, and Instablogs), and communication (direct messages). Hitting a million members shows it's working.
2. Seeking Alpha has become the largest publishing platform for finance professionals and other financial commentators. We now publish about 250 articles per market day, after editorial selection, from about 900 active authors per month. People contribute articles to Seeking Alpha for various reasons: to build exposure and reputation, generate customer leads, and supplement their income (we're one of the only businesses paying meaningful amounts to a large number of contributors, currently $10 per 1,000 page views). There's a virtuous circle here: as our readership grows, our value to contributors rises, they contribute more articles for our editors to select from, and that increases our comprehensiveness and value to readers.
3. Seeking Alpha articles are increasingly moving stocks. Our impact on the market is a direct function of our rapidly growing readership. We have 5-7MM monthly unique visitors (about 9.5% of whom are finance professionals), but our 1MM registered users are significant because they're far more engaged than occasional readers, and tend to be committed investors.
4. Seeking Alpha has become the leading platform for intelligent discussion of stocks and the markets. We publish about 80,000 comments per month, after moderation. Unlike "Web 1.0" message boards, the intellectual framework and tone for comments are set by articles, and article authors actively participate. This results in comment discussions that are higher quality and more valuable to investors.
5. Seeking Alpha has become a critical platform for communicating with investors. Registering on Seeking Alpha allows users to send and receive direct messages to contributors and other readers. Investors are using Direct Messaging on Seeking Alpha to form business relationships and privately discuss investment ideas. IR and PR professionals are using Direct Messages to reach authors who write about their company, industry, or sector. There are strong network effects in communication, which is why hitting 1MM registered users is important.
On a personal note, I want to say a huge congratulations and thank you to the Seeking Alpha team. A ton of work has gone into hitting this milestone. Every day, our team works hard to deliver value for our readers, our contributors, and our partners -- and you've succeeded. You guys rock!
But this is our contributors' and readers' achievement as much as ours. As a tribute to our amazing contributors, we asked our editors to name their favorite Seeking Alpha articles, and we asked each of our contributors to nominate the best Seeking Alpha article that they wrote, and the best Seeking Alpha article written by another contributor. Here they are:
Seeking Alpha 1,000,000: The Greatest Hits, Editorial Edition

"Not an auto-parts store. The auto-parts store. Maybe the only one, or at least the main one. Which in any city is always right there on the same strip as the tire stores and the auto dealers and the lube shops. Which in any city is always a wide new strip near a highway cloverleaf. Cities are all different, but they're also all the same."

Born in Los Angeles, California, on June 4, 1975, Angelina Jolie starred in the HBO biopic Gia before earning an Academy Award for best supporting actress for Girl, Interrupted. Jolie has become one of Hollywood's top marquee names, having starred in movies like Wanted, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Salt and Changeling. She's also directed the film In the Land of Blood and Honey, and is coupled with actor Brad Pitt.
"My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman. Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy."
"We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."
Early Life
Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie Voight was born on June 4, 1975, in Los Angeles, California, to actor Jon Voight and actress Marcheline Bertrand. She rose to stardom in the 1990s. She began acting at a young age, studying at the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute while in her early teens. Jolie later attended New York University.
Breakthrough Role
In the 1990s, Angelina Jolie became a popular actress. She gave a star-making performance in the 1998 television film Gia based on the short, tragic life of model Gia Marie Carangi, which won her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress.
Another great dramatic role in Girl, Interrupted (1999) brought Jolie her first Academy Award (for best supporting actress). She has continued to take on a variety of interesting roles, such as an adventurer in the Lara Croft films, a FBI profiler in Taking Lives (2004), an assassin in Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) and a neglected, troubled socialite wife in The Good Shepherd (2006).
In 2007, Jolie gave a brilliant performance as Mariane Pearl, the pregnant widow of Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl, in A Mighty Heart. The film was based on Mariane Pearl's account of her husband's abduction and murder.
Humanitarian Efforts
A devoted humanitarian, Angelina Jolie was made a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency in 2001. She has made headlines for her work to obtain aid for refugees in Cambodia, Darfur and Jordan, to name just a few.
In 2005, Jolie received the Global Humanitarian Action Award from the United Nations Association of the USA for her activism on behalf of refugee rights. She continues to travel the world to drawing attention to global issues.
Recent Roles
In October 2008, Jolie appeared in the Clint Eastwood-directed thriller Changeling. Jolie played Christine Collins, a mother whose son reappears after his kidnapping. Collins is sure the returned boy is not the one to whom she gave birth, and her fight reveals a police conspiracy. In 2009, Jolie received an Oscar nomination for best actress for her role in the film.
The actress went on to earn the lead role in the action-packed Salt (2010), about a CIA agent, Evelyn Salt, who is on the run after being accused of being a Russian spy. That same year, she earned the featured part of Elise Clifton-Ward in The Tourist alongside Johnny Depp. She has since been cast in the title role of Maleficent, slated to be released in 2014, and is scheduled to reprise her role as Evelyn Salt in Salt 2.
Personal Life
Famous for her off-screen romances, Angelina Jolie has been married twice.

Seeds For Your 2014 Garden!
This heirloom is not actually a cherry, but rather a small ground tomato. The fruits were recorded in horticultural literature as early as 1837 in Pennsylvania and are still common today at roadside stands in late summer. This outstanding Polish variety is prized for its clean flavor, with hints of vanilla and pineapple. Because of their high pectin count, the Ground Cherries can be used for preserves, pies, over ice cream or in fresh fruit salads.

Federal prosecutors have combined two cases that both reportedly have ties to the investigation of so-called "Cannibal Cop" Gilberto Valle.
Prosecutors say the convicted New York City police officer agreed to kidnap a woman for $5,000 and bring her to a man from New Jersey named Michael Van Hise, who was arrested in January.
Van Hise is facing conspiracy charges.
In the other case, two men are accused of conspiring to kidnap, torture and kill women and children.
Christopher Asch, 60, is a former librarian at Stuyvesant High School.
Richard Meltz, 65, is a police official with a Massachusetts veterans hospital.
They were arrested earlier this month.
A source said their plot was revealed through the Valle investigation, but the connection is still unclear.
All three of the accused men will enter pleas at their next court appearance on Thursday.
Valle was convicted of kidnapping and conspiracy charges.

Nike Air Revolution "LoveRution" – Black – Arctic Green – Dark Grey
August 14th, 2013 by Aaron Hope | 19 comments
John Lennon's name has been appropriated for a line of 1970s runner-ish sneakers, but you might argue that this new drop from Nike Sportswear is a better fit. Combining 'love' and 'revolution', the Nike Air Revolution 'Loverution' is the mens counterpart to the hidden heel wedge version in the Sky Hi. Past meets present in this tonal black colorway with tonal Safari print and mint accents, and the Quickstrike comes with a dustbag echoing the pack name (which is also embroidered on the velcro side of the ankle strap). Click through for a closer view and be ready to grab yours when they hit top NSW retailers this Friday like Caliroots.

actually my mistake champs advertised the Retro 4 Green Glow not these, But they are listed on the Release Calendar for FootLocker not sure if its only House of Hoops locations.
does anyone know what store going to have them because i work at NikeTown NYC and for some lame reason, we not getting them -____-
they glow in the dark not yellowing and that Loverution is hidden by the strap. if you don't want it seen very simple to keep hidden. I'll be picking up a pair.
Why the fuck did they put "LOVER" on the tongue! Looks so .... gay....
Cos of this, I won't cope. Sorry...
@DugLast same problem here i wanna pick these up for me and wifey, plus reto 4's tomorrow then Fear 4's next week and considering the Lebron X Mango.
@RomeoRedJr I know ive seen an advertisement by champs and they are on the foot locker release calendar some location are doing tickets for those last day to get tickets is today.
@Jokoko It's part of a couples pack and if you flip the "Revol"part of Revolution it spells "lover". Don't see what is gay about either of those.
@Sneakeraddict512 iight thank you. Ima go to champs cause no one really check there for kicks
Like the people who insults others via comments well safe behind their screen... U're so brave!
Thanks for the explanation but I understood it. At the end of the day, it's still written lover on your tongue and it's ridiculous. Maybe not in US cause u guys are not ashamed of anything but for the world around u, people are. ;-)
@DugLast yeah same here going in store for everything and worse comes to worse use my phone to buy online if the lines are that insane.
@Jokoko first off...i was just wondering if you were retarded because you keep stating that it says lover on the tongue when it is clearly on the INSIDE OF THE STRAP where no one will be able to see it unless you show them....secondly, i have no need to feel brave, its not like i was threatening your physical abilities, only your intellect, you dunce. and lastly, maybe in your country, being a "lover" means that you're gay...but if you would have done your research, you would know that this is a COUPLES PACK...sorta like a HIS and HERS idea inspired by the LOVE of basketball and the shoe....sooooooo...

The Times can hardly believe Chicagoan Ikram Goldman is successful in fashion.
It was a good month for 'Zoolander' facial expressions, Anna Dello Russo impressions, amorphous clouds of white gas, and more.
So says one of her favorite designers, Peter Soronen.
It's a highly secretive and complex operation.
And you thought your job was stressful.
Also, Vera Wang is reportedly making a diamond jewelry collection for Zales, and Michelle Obama's style advisor, Ikram Goldman, is winning a fashion award.
Also, Jonah Hill and Russell Brand will appear in Diesel windows today.
She said she loved the dresses in his pre-collection.
Thakoon Panichgul expects a phone call from Michelle Obama's enigmatic fashion adviser.
It's time for Michelle to start promoting stores other than Ikram.
He supposedly introduced her to Wu, who Michelle wore on 'The Barbara Walters Special' last week.
