Early Career
Musician. Born July 22, 1941, in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, Clinton began his music career in the 1950's, while working at a barbershop in Newark, New Jersey. He founded a doo-wop singing quintet he called The Parliaments out of the shop's backroom. When Clinton headed to Detroit in the early 1960s to work as a staff songwriter for Motown, the group stayed in New Jersey but continued to work together long distance.
Landing a deal with Revilot Records, The Parliaments turned out their first hit with in 1967 with the single "(I Just Wanna) Testify," which landed at No. 3 on the Billboard R&B charts. The only member of The Parliaments to actually appear on the recording, however, was Clinton; no one else was able to travel to Detroit for the session, so studio musicians filled in.
Parliament and Funkadelic
When Revilot went bankrupt later that year, the group's name became tied up in litigation. In 1968, they renamed themselves Funkadelic, after Clinton's back-up band. In 1972, when Clinton was finally able to get back the Parliament name, the group began using both the Parliament and Funkadelic monikers, but under different record labels. Often referring to himself as "the Referee", Clinton mixed and matched the musicians and singers in his groups, which helped maintain a fresh, innovative sound.
Inspired by the sounds of revolutionary bands like the Stooges and MC 5 as well as musicians Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and Sly Stone, Clinton began looking for ways to experiment with his musical compositions. Parliament explored and invented new sounds through funk - a twist on soul that included psychedelic guitar, deep bass groove, and bizarre sound effects - while Funkadelic cultivated a rock sound.
Commercial Success
Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic released more than 40 R&B hit singles and three platinum albums during the 70's. But as the musical powerhouse reached the 80's, Clinton became weighed down by legal difficulties arising from Polygram's acquisition of Parliament's label, Casablanca. Clinton was forced to rename the groups again in 1982, this time signing to Capitol as a solo act and as the P.Funk All-Stars.
Solo Album
His first solo album, Computer Games (1982) was a hit contained the Top 20 single "Loopzilla" and the No. 1 hit, "Atomic Dog." Clinton stayed with Capitol for three more years, releasing more Top 40 singles including "Nubian Nut" and "Do Fries Go With That Shake?". But as the 80s rolled on, Clinton and his group faced a decline in popularity.
Recent Resurgence
In the 1990s, Clinton's music experienced a resurgence as rappers such as Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur began sampling his work. He also received an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, along with 15 other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. He continues to tour, and in 2010 he announced that he is finishing up work on a new album with Sly Stone, which is slated for released in May 2010.

JACKSONVILLE ŌĆō On the field, the Jaguars will get a much-needed week off.
That doesnŌĆÖt mean thereŌĆÖs no work this week.
Winless midway through the regular season, Gus Bradley said the JaguarsŌĆÖ coaching staff will use the bye to evaluate everything from personnel to scheme and on-field approach.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll use this week, really, for offense, defense and special teams,ŌĆØ Bradley said Tuesday afternoon, a day after the team returned to Jacksonville following a 42-10 loss to the San Francisco 49ers at Wembley Stadium in London, England Sunday.
The loss to the 49ers dropped the Jaguars to 0-8, and while Bradley said he expected difficult times in his first season as head coach, he added with a laugh, ŌĆ£I didnŌĆÖt quite anticipate that.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£It has been challenging, but in some ways hopefully it makes us stronger in the long run,ŌĆØ Bradley said, adding, ŌĆ£I knew it was going to be challenging, especially with all of the things we have going on ŌĆō the (change in) culture, the personnel, offense, defense, scheme.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm excited about the challenge, because IŌĆÖm seeing things happen behind the scenes. IŌĆÖm seeing things take place. IŌĆÖm seeing our guys stay true. IŌĆÖm seeing all these things that I know are part of a culture that will help us sustain it when the time is rightŌĆ".
ŌĆ£Now, ultimately what our city and our fans need is to see it on the scoreboard. We understand that. I want it and our team wants it as badly as them, but in order to give them that, we have to stay true to that.ŌĆØ
Also on Tuesday, Bradley said
Henne has started five games this season, including the last three. He has started 11 games for the Jaguars in two seasons, but the loss to the 49ers Sunday marked the first time Henne started with
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll continue to evaluate that,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£But in the meetings weŌĆÖve had and the talk (as of Tuesday), weŌĆÖll continue to be with Chad.ŌĆØ
Bradley said the team will hold a big personnel meeting Tuesday, with extensive ŌĆ£self-scoutŌĆØ in terms of game plans scheduled Wednesday.
Bradley said while the coaching staff meets with General Manager David Caldwell and personnel staff throughout the season, TuesdayŌĆÖs meeting will be more extensive than most weeks. He said he doesnŌĆÖt anticipate significant personnel changes from the meeting.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre always looking at our roster,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll look at bringing guys in, working them out, seeing if they are a fit for us. This is more just, ŌĆśHow do we help our players get better in our areas.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Bradley said he doesnŌĆÖt expect many depth-chart changes, either.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt know whatŌĆÖs going to take place, but in our conversations, very few ŌĆō if any,ŌĆÖŌĆÖ Bradley said.
Bradley said there have been areas of improvement such as passing yards and rushing yards offensively in recent weeks. The team has produced significantly more total yards the last four games, with efficiency in the red zone hindering point production.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll continue to evaluate and find out what weŌĆÖre doing well, but really the self-scout is focusing on our weaknesses,ŌĆØ Bradley said.
One particular such area Bradley discussed was a defense that began the season keeping a struggling offense in games, but that has struggled in recent weeks, allowing touchdowns on the opponentsŌĆÖ first two drives each of the last two games.
San Diego drove 80, 80 and 79 yards on three first-half drives two weeks ago, scoring touchdowns on the first two drives and driving to the one-yard line on the other. The 49ers scored touchdowns on their first four drives, the first time in Jaguars history an opponent has done so.
Bradley said the defensive staff studied video from the game Monday on the flight from London, and again Tuesday.
ŌĆ£We obviously have some things we need to get corrected,ŌĆØ Bradley said, adding that while the defense played well at times during the first six games that hasnŌĆÖt been the case during losses to San Diego and San Francisco the last two weeks.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre getting away from what we did well,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£ThatŌĆÖs why youŌĆÖre seeing the points and the large amounts of yards rushing.ŌĆØ
Bradley said the bye will benefit the Jaguars physically and mentally.
ŌĆ£I do think it will be beneficial for us,ŌĆØ Bradley said. ŌĆ£On this journey that weŌĆÖre having, it takes some time to go through it. The reason I use the words celebrate the victories is any time we see action that is a part of our culture, we have to reinforce that.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre doing that with a lot of things. I think the victories will come as soon as we do enough of those things correctly.ŌĆØ
Also around the Jaguars Tuesday:
*As of mid-Tuesday afternoon, the Jaguars reported no trade inquiries and no offers. The leagueŌĆÖs trade deadline is 4 p.m. Tuesday.
*Bradley said the team could consider leaving Sunday night on future London trips. The team left Monday afternoon this year. Bradley said there also could consideration given to playing a road game the week before the trip to shorten travel time to the game. ŌĆ£Those are things we can evaluate,ŌĆØ Bradley said.
*The Jaguars will not practice this week, with the league mandating that players be off at least four consecutive days over the bye.
*Bradley said the presence of tight end
*Offensive guard
*Bradley will leave Wednesday morning for his fatherŌĆÖs wake, and will attend the funeral Thursday. He will return to Jacksonville Friday. BradleyŌĆÖs father, Roy James Bradley, died October 20.

Pet Naturals of Vermont Hip and Joint for Cats Chicken Liver -- 45 Soft Chews
This product works great!
Purchased this product for my 8 year old cat. He had started limping on one paw and couldn't jump as usual. After just one dose (only gave one chew a day, not 2) he was like a different cat. So now, just one chew a day keeps the doctor away. He also LOVES the taste!
August 14, 2013
My cat is 19 years old and has joint issues. She loves the chewable liver treat and seems to limp less now!
July 3, 2013
i first bought this to try it and see if it worked. i have four cats and this is only really needed for my old guy - he is 16, he is the only one that eats it - the others don't want it - which works out great when hand out treats - he seems a bit more active and climbing and jumping again.
March 10, 2013
"Soft" chews is not accurate - "Firm"
These are not easily chewable, at least by my cats who
refuse it. I have to work at cutting each dose into small
pieces and crumbling it to mix into cat food. Would not
purchase again although the idea is a good one.
January 20, 2013
My Cats love this!
Great products, safe and my cats love them! Made in USA!

A nice park, clean, with level sites, and friendly people. We didn't like the fact that we couldn't use our ac adapter for 30amp, but had to pay $2 a night for 50amp, especially when there was no mention of that rule in our ROD book, and the overnighter's used their adapters w/a booster in some cases. We conserve electricity when we are on 30amp, but when we have to pay for 50amp we use the heck out of the electricity.

The site we were assigned was level, the sewer is too far back which caused us to use extra hose but that happens in other parks too. We have to agree the roads are bad especially when it rains. The family clubhouse smells of mold and is not very appealing. On a positive note, it was a safe place to spend a week while we traveled to the valley. We have seen this park in better shape. As ROD members we paid nothing for the site which means alot for full-time RV'ers. If you want 50 amp, cable TV or WiFi, they all cost extra.

How many manmade buildings can you think of that have survived for more than 2,500 years? The Great Wall of China is impressive for many reasons, but top on that list has to be its longevity—some sections date as far back as the seventh century BC, so long ago that a major reconstruction was needed by the time the Ming dynasty rolled around in 1368 AD. Today, much of the wall stands as always has. It courses east to west across the green mountains and running rivers of northern China for some 5,500 miles. You'll see the monumental Great Wall on Nexus Holidays Toronto's 10-day guided tour of China, and it's just one small part of the tour, which stops in five cities and includes round-trip airfare.Click here for a sample itinerary of the trip. Click here for a list of departure dates.Days 1–4: After departing from a gateway city on the West Coast of America on an economy-class flight, you'll touch down in Beijing. Once on the ground, say nǐ hǎo to your English-speaking tour guide before transferring to the regal Jade Palace Hotel, which is situated in Zhongguancun, known as the "Silicon Valley of China." The next three days are jam-packed with sightseeing excursions: you'll see Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, another relic from the Ming dynasty. A trip to the Great Wall is the highlight of day 4; your tour group will also spend some time checking out the Olympic Village, which includes Bird's Nest stadium and Water Cube.Days 5–6: The trip moves on to Hangzhou, a city known to Chinese poets as "Paradise on Earth." You'll cruise West Lake, renowned for its natural scenery and ancient pagodas, before taking in the pleasant sights and smells of a green-tea plantation. The 3,000-year-old city of Wuxi is your destination on the next day, where you'll pay a visit to the Grand Buddha at Ling Shan. This iconic statue stands 88 meters high and weighs more than 700 tons, which puts it on the shortlist as one of the largest Buddha sculptures in the world and, whenever anyone places a magazine under it, the world's largest paperweight. Days 7–10: The last days of the trip are split between the city of Suzhou and metropolitan Shanghai. Suzhou is known as the "Venice of the East" for its 1,500-year-old Grand Canal and interlocking waterways. While here, you'll take a stroll through the Master of the Nets Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Designed to evoke the peaceful, simple life of a fisherman, it's a meticulous display of unique water features and nature scenes.Your tour of Shanghai begins with a trip to the Bund, a waterfront district lined with shops and varied architecture influenced by former European occupiers; its building styles range from Romanesque to Gothic to Beaux-Arts. Later, you'll enjoy more than 120,000 curated treasures on display at the Shanghai Museum. Following breakfast on day 10, you'll depart Shanghai for your return flight home.

The Center has welcomed kids onto its farm since 1936. It probably wasn't as much of a novelty back then, when Illinois was home to more than 220,000 farms and the U.S. government issued everyone a farmer's hat at birth. But that number has decreased steadily with each decade, dropping to just 76,000 by 2010, per the USDA. Which means that today, The Children's Farm at The Center gives kids and their families something increasingly special: the chance to experience life on an independent rural farm. Here, chickens lay eggs, goats give milk, and horses eat hay harvested right on the farm. The staff also leads tours of these grounds and explains how each animal fits into farm life. They even let kids pet some of the livestock before finishing up tours with a hayride.
For a completely immersive experience, The Children's Farm hosts summer camps for ages 3–17. During each camp session, campers live on the farm for days or weeks at a time, spending their days riding horses and caring for the animals.

US top court hears corporate human rights case

* Shell accused of aiding Nigerian human rights abuses
* Reach of 1789 law used to sue corporations
* Supreme Court's ruling expected by the end of June
By James Vicini
WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - A number of Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism on Tuesday that corporations can be sued in the United States for alleged complicity in human rights abuses abroad, a case with important financial, legal and international implications.
The high court during arguments considered limiting the reach of a 1789 U.S. law that was largely dormant for nearly two centuries, but used in the past 20 years by foreign victims to sue multinational corporations for abuses committed overseas.
The court's conservatives voiced concern that allowing such lawsuits violated international law, that it created tensions with foreign nations and that the U.S. law only applied to acts by individuals, not to corporations.
The case before the court involved a lawsuit by 12 Nigerians who alleged that Royal Dutch Shell Plc helped the Nigerian government crack down on oil exploration protests between 1992 and 1995 through torture, executions and crimes against humanity.
"What business does a case like that have in the United States?" Justice Samuel Alito asked Paul Hoffman, the California attorney who argued for the plaintiffs.
"There's no connection to the United States whatsoever," Alito said. "This kind of lawsuit only creates international tension."
Justice Anthony Kennedy, who often casts the decisive vote on the court divided with five conservatives and four liberals, questioned whether international law recognized corporate responsibility for the alleged offenses in the lawsuit.
The case has been closely watched by corporations concerned about long and costly litigation in the United States and by human rights advocates who say businesses can be held accountable in U.S. courts for their alleged role in torture, executions or other abuses committed abroad.
Justice Antonin Scalia said Congress could always amend the law to make clear that it covered corporations.
The Alien Tort Statute from 1789 states that U.S. courts shall have jurisdiction over any civil lawsuit "by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States."
The Obama administration supported Hoffman. Deputy Solicitor General Edwin Kneedler argued that a U.S. appeals court in New York erred in ruling that a corporation never can be liable under the U.S. law.
But Kennedy questioned Kneedler about the government's argument.
"Suppose an American corporation commits human trafficking with U.S. citizens in the United States. Under your view, the U.S. corporation could be sued in any country in the world," Kennedy said.
Representing Shell at the arguments, Kathleen Sullivan, a former dean of the Stanford Law School in California, said the post-World War Two Nuremberg tribunals established that only individuals can be held liable for human rights violatons.
She said corporate officers can be held responsible for human rights abuses, but that nations around the world have long treated corporations and individuals differently.
Some of the court's liberals questioned Sullivan's argument that only persons can be held accountable for human rights abuses. "Where do you find that in international law?" Justice Elena Kagan asked.
Justice Stephen Breyer asked whether a corporation could be held liable in certain circumstances, such as conduct involving piracy or slavery.
"What about slavery? That seems like contrary to international law norms, basic law norms, it could be committed by an individual. And why, if it could be committed by an individual, could it not also be committed by a corporation in violation of an international norm?" Breyer asked Sullivan.
The British, Dutch and German governments supported Shell, as did various multinational corporations and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce business lobby.
In the past two decades, more than 120 lawsuits have been filed in U.S. courts against 59 corporations for alleged wrongful acts in 60 foreign countries, lawyers in the case said.
Many of the lawsuits have been unsuccessful, though there have been a handful of settlements, the lawyers said. Many of the cases, having dragged on for years, are still pending.
Among the cases: Indonesia villagers accused Exxon Mobil Corp's security forces of murder, torture and other abuses in 1999-2001; Firestone tire company was accused of using child labor in Liberia; and Ford Motor Co and other firms were accused of aiding South Africa's apartheid system.
The Supreme Court is expected to rule in the case by the end of June.
The Supreme Court case is Esther Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co, No. 10-1491.

Community Engagement
The Community Advisory Board, Precinct Advisory Councils, and Neighborhood Task Forces are the principle vehicles for involvement in the Seattle Community Court program. Neighborhood and business groups, social service providers, and state, county, and local public agencies actively partner with Community Court to support the program's success
The Community Advisory Board
The Community Advisory Board, comprised of residents, business owners, community based organizations and public agencies meets quarterly to address the community's best interests. Key elements include program priorities, problem-solving, partner agency guidelines, community service activities, sentencing framework, amount of community service hours to replace jail time, timeline for defendant compliance, and procedures for non-compliance.
Seattle Police Precinct Advisory Councils
Seattle Police Precinct Advisory Councils, serving in a citizen advisory capacity to the West, East, North, South, and Southwest precincts, offer advice on community service projects and areas that need attention.
Neighborhood Task Forces
As stakeholders most impacted by quality of life nuisance crimes, neighborhood groups identify the types of service they would like to see completed and often work side-by-side with Community Court defendants. Our community partners are pleased with the contributions made by our Community Court participants:
- Belltown "The neighborhood is consistently cleaner since the Community Court participants began their community service activities" and "It is great to see these individuals positively and enthusiastically giving back."
- Beacon Alliance of Neighbors "The Community Court people have done so much work clearing the previously impassable staircase leading to the bottom of the hill - we can now walk down the stairs."
- Colman Neighbors Association "It's been great to have Community Court helping us keep our neighborhood clean."

Culture ShockI love Suzanne Sbarge's art. Her work is weird but somehow also familiar. I think I've dreamed some of her paintings at one time or another. She's got a new solo exhibit currently showing at Papergami, the Japanese paper store and gallery in Nob Hill located where the old Tulane Street Deli used to be (114 Tulane SE). It will definitely be worth a peek. The show, titled Earth to Honey, runs through June 30. 255-2228.

Recipe from Morton's The Cookbook Servings: Serves 6
In a small bowl, mix together the fish sauce, oil, sherry, shallot, scallion, lemongrass and soy sauce until well blended. You will have about 3/4 cup of chunky sauce. Divide the sauce approximately in half, each in a separate bowl. Set one bowl aside to use later. Holding a knife at a sharp angle, slice the sirloin into 12 very thin slices, each 2 1/2 to 3 inches wide. Lay the meat on a work surface, and brush one side of each slice with sauce. Lay a lemongrass stalk lengthwise along each strip of meat and roll up. Arrange the rolls, seam sides down, in a shallow glass dish and brush the tops and sides with more sauce. You will, by now, have used all of one bowl of sauce. Cover and refrigerate the rolls for about 1 hour to give them time to absorb the flavors of the sauce and the lemongrass.
Whisk the sugar and cornstarch into the reserved sauce. In a sauté pan large enough to hold the rolls, heat the oil over medium-high heat, and when hot, cook the rolls, seam-side down, for about 1 minute or until browned. Use tongs to turn the rolls very gently and continue to cook for another minute or so to brown on all sides. The meat is wrapped loosely around the lemongrass and so you will have to use great care. Drizzle the reserved sauce over the rolls and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer or until the sauce is heated through. Serve immediately. Note: It's important that the steak be 2 1/2 to 3 inches thick so that when it's sliced, the pieces will be wide and thin enough. Partially freezing the meat makes it easy to slice. Put the meat in the freezer about an hour before you will slice it. Wine recommendation: With Asian-style dishes with lemongrass and fish sauce try a wine that accentuates the sweetness but that can stand up to the protein. The citrus in Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for this. We recommend The Crossings and Cloudy Bay, both from New Zealand. For true indulgence you can't beat a late-harvest Riesling or Semillon. The sweetness and velvety texture of these wines are a treat and will balance the dish. We suggest Mer Soleil "Late" and Inniskillin. Copyright © 2009 by Morton's Restaurant Group, Inc.

Supporters of New York University's expansion plan, including members of the construction trade, rallied on the steps of City Hall on Tuesday to urge Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer to recommend the sweeping plan be approved.
Stringer has 30 days to write a recommendation to the City Planning Commission.
Supporters say the "NYU 2031" proposal would create about 2,400 jobs every year for the next 20 years.
"This plan means thousands of union construction jobs, jobs with good wages, health insurance and pensions. It also means a half-billion dollars of economic output and growing the city's tax base," said Gary LaBarbera of the Buildings Construction Trades Council.
"You can't go wrong with more schools, educating people, you're putting people to work," said NYU 2031 supporter Douglas Murray. "Afterwards you'll have teachers at work and everyone else who works at the school as well. It's a win-win. You can't have a good economy if you're afraid to spend money."
If approved, four new buildings will be added on two "super-blocks," property already owned by the school.
They will include an academic building, faculty and student housing, a new athletic center and even a hotel.
Critics of the plan say it would change the character of the neighborhood.

Lockheed says cyber attacks up sharply, suppliers targeted
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon's No. 1 supplier, Lockheed Martin Corp, on Monday cited dramatic growth in the number and sophistication of international cyber attacks on its networks and said it was contacting suppliers to help them shore up their security.
Chandra McMahon, Lockheed vice president and chief information security officer, said about 20 percent of the threats directed at Lockheed networks were considered "advanced persistent threats," prolonged and targeted attacks by a nation state or other group trying to steal data or harm operations.
"The number of campaigns has increased dramatically over the last several years," McMahon told a news conference. "The pace has picked up."
She said the tactics and techniques were becoming increasingly sophisticated, and attackers were clearly targeting Lockheed suppliers to gain access to information since the company had fortified its own networks.
U.S. officials have stepped up their warnings about cyber attacks on U.S. banks and other institutions in recent months, warning that attackers are developing the ability to strike U.S. power grids and government systems.
Lockheed officials declined to say if any of the attacks they had seen originated in Iran, which has been linked to recent denial-of-service attacks against U.S. financial institutions.
Rohan Amin, Lockheed program director for the Pentagon's Cyber Crime Center (DC3), said internal analysis showed that the number of campaigns had clearly grown, and multiple campaigns were often linked.
Lockheed recently wrested a $450 million contract to run the military cyber center away from long-time holder General Dynamics Corp.
As the top information technology provider to the U.S. government, Lockheed has long worked to secure data on computer networks run by a range of civilian and military agencies. The company is also trying to expand sales of cybersecurity technology and services to commercial firms, including its suppliers, and foreign governments, Lockheed executives said.
"Suppliers are still a huge problem," said Charlie Croom, Lockheed's vice president of cybersecurity solutions, noting the large number of companies that provide products and components for Lockheed, which has annual sales of just under $47 billion.
Croom, the former head of the Pentagon's Defense Information Systems Agency, said cybersecurity was a crucial area for Lockheed, but said it was difficult to pinpoint exactly how much business it generates because network security is part of nearly everything the company sells and does for the government.
He estimated that 5 to 8 percent of Lockheed's revenues in the information systems sector were related to cybersecurity. Lockheed generated $9.4 billion sales in that division in 2011.
McMahon said Lockheed had seen "very successful" attacks against a number of the company's suppliers, and was focusing heavily on helping those companies improve their security.
She said a well-publicized cyber attack on Lockheed's networks in May 2011 came after the computer systems of two of its suppliers -- RSA, the security division of EMC Corp and another unidentified company -- were compromised.
"The adversary was able to get information from RSA and then they were also able to steal information from another supplier of ours, and they were able to put those two pieces of information together and launch an attack on us," McMahon said.
She said Lockheed had been tracking the adversary for years before that attack, and was able to prevent any loss of data by using its in-house detection and monitoring capabilities.
One of the lessons the company learned was the importance of sharing data with other companies in the defense sector, and suppliers, to avert similar attacks, McMahon said.
"It's just one example of how the adversary has been very significant and tenacious and has really been targeting the defense industrial base," she said.
Social media, websites and malware introduced by emails remain major areas of concern, Lockheed executives said.

The Scottish Association of Family History Societies has added its Inventory of Scottish Graveyards to its website at http://safhs.org.uk/burialgrounds.asp
The inventory essentially lists the whereabouts of all known monumental inscriptions collections, both published and unpublished, from information supplied by several family history societies across the country, as previously co-ordinated by the SAFHS Graveyard Working Group. The data available includes information on the location and documentary evidence of burial grounds across the country, with details including OS map grid references, religious denomination, years when burials were first known to commence, the FHSs holding the records and much more, though it does not contain actual inscriptions. As a tool, it is one of the most useful in the Scottish genealogist's toolkit, so this is a great move to place it online.
Previously available in CD format, the last edition (the 2nd) was published in 2008. I'm unclear as to whether this is the data from that publication, or if it has been updated, but will update in due course when I find more. Even if the data is that from the 2008 edition, there are details of some 3500 burial grounds included, which should certainly be able to help most people!
The online presentation arranges the records alphabetically by county, parish and burial ground name(s). Using the search fields above the list you can instantly jump to the area of interest. The database is free to access.
UPDATE: This is currently the 2008 edition, but each family history society has been asked to provide an update on any new publications produced since then, the details of which will be added to the database. Once this is done the plan is to then update the database every six months or annually.

Hi Chris,
I have just come across this website: http://www.safhs.org.uk/burialgrounds.asp and your blog above.
On selecting a parish say Alvah churchyard http://www.safhs.org.uk/burialground.asp?ID=879, it says NBI included? Yes.
Now I understand the NBI is for England and Wales so where is the Scottish version if this website says it is included?
Can you clarify please?
Many thanks, Jemima

Plus, none take more than a weekend, from start to finish. So if you're new to the do-it-yourself lifestyle or recently bought your first home, these jobs are perfect for you. By Brett Martin Email Comments 0 Share Back 4 of 10 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails Light Up a Dull Room by Replacing Outdated Fixtures New fixtures give rooms subtle accents and add color, especially if you're replacing boring or broken fixtures with sleek and bold ones. Adding track or penchant lighting can add even more flair. New fixtures also can improve the lighting in a room by distributing light more evenly, and choosing Energy Star-rated fixtures could save you 25 percent on your energy bill compared to your old ones. Tips to Remember: Replacing fixtures is a good introduction to electrical work for beginning DIYers. Be sure to shut off the electricity at the circuit panel and use a voltage tester to make sure the power is off before starting the job. If you're replacing a fixture with a chandelier, you'll need special mounting hardware to support the extra weight.
