History and Genealogy
Certificate Files, September 27, 1906 - March 31, 1956
Certificate Files, or "C-Files," document naturalizations - the acquisition of United States citizenship after birth. C-Files contain copies of records evidencing the:
C-Files are a product of the Basic Naturalization Act of 1906. That law created the Federal Naturalization Service and required the new agency to collect and maintain copies of all naturalization records nationwide. The C-File series later expanded to include records of U.S. citizenship acquired by derivation (naturalization by virtue of qualifying relation to another who is a birthright or naturalized citizen) and resumption or repatriation by former citizens that expatriated themselves (lost their U.S. citizenship).
Between September 27, 1906 until March 31, 1956, the Federal Naturalization Service stored its citizenship records in C-Files. Certain C-File documents are duplicated in the records of naturalization courts across the nation. Other C-File documents are unique.
The United States adopted judicial naturalization in 1790 and the nation's courts conducted most naturalization proceedings until the late 20th century. For most of American history, an immigrant seeking naturalization almost always petitioned a court. A judge decided the applicant's eligibility for citizenship and entered an order either granting or denying the petition. The clerk of the court then made a permanent record of the proceedings in the court's records.
Before the Basic Naturalization Act of 1906, the United States lacked a central repository for naturalization records. Each naturalization court could issue its own version of naturalization certificate and only the naturalization court itself retained a copy of an immigrant's naturalization records.
The Basic Naturalization Act of 1906 required naturalization courts to begin using standard naturalization forms for the first time and the new Federal Naturalization Bureau to keep duplicate copies of all court naturalization records beginning on September 27, 1906. Thereafter, courts forwarded copies of Declarations of Intention, Petitions for Naturalization, and Certificates of Naturalization to Washington, D.C. The Naturalization Service filed the copies of court naturalization records from across the country in its C-Files.
Subsequent naturalization acts expanded the Naturalization Service's authority and allowed the creation of additional C-Files relating to derivative citizenship, resumed U.S. citizenship, and repatriation. The Bureau of Naturalization's various programs ultimately resulted in ten unique sub-series of C- Files. Each of the ten C-Files sub-series is distinguished by the method of obtaining U.S. citizenship or the legislation under which an immigrant's citizenship was granted:
Derivative Citizens – Persons automatically acquiring U.S. citizenship by virtue of their relationship to an American citizen:
Repatriated Citizens – Persons readmitted to U.S. citizenship after relinquishing their citizenship by some voluntary action:
For more information about the 10 C-Files Series, see the Certificate Series table.
USCIS is the current custodian of the C-Files. USCIS' predecessor, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), microfilmed C-Files dated 1906 to ca. 1944 (C-1 to C-6500000) in the 1950's. Sadly, the original files were destroyed. The only C-files below C-6499999 remaining in paper form are those that were:
Immigrants with C-Files below C-6500000 may have additional USCIS files depending on their arrival date or naturalization date. Some C-Files below C-6500000 are "Consolidated C-Files." Consolidated C-Files are the only file on an individual subject and contain all agency records pertaining to that immigrant. Consolidated C-Files are only available in hard copy.
C-Files contain copies of records relating to all:
Biographical Content of Forms –The standardized naturalization forms introduced by the Federal Naturalization Act in 1906 called for the immigrant's name, date and place of birth, and port and date of arrival. Declarations of Intention and Naturalization Certificates issued after July 1, 1929, also include a picture of the petitioner.
Reliability – Confirmation of naturalization applicants' information by the courts and Naturalization Service Examiners made C-Files reliable records. When applicants claimed arrival after June 30, 1906, the Naturalization Service verified the arrival information by checking the original immigration arrival record. For more information about immigration arrival records, which are now preserved by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), see NARA's immigration research page.
Naturalization Records Duplicated in Court Records – Original records of judicial naturalization are court records, including Declarations of Intention and Petitions for Naturalization. Some courts also retained Certificates of Arrival (evidencing lawful admission to permanent residence) issued by the Immigration Service among their records.
Between September 27, 1906, and the early 1990's, naturalization courts maintained original judicial naturalization documents and sent duplicate copies to Washington D.C. to be filed with the U.S. Naturalization Service. Accordingly, most but not all, naturalization records can be found among court records.
Naturalization Records Not Duplicated in Court Records – Despite the standardization mandated by the 1906 naturalization law, different C-Files may contain different forms and not all C-File documents will be duplicated in court records (i.e., these records are only available from USCIS). When an immigrant naturalized, the provisions of law under which s/he applied for citizenship, and whether there was any further activity in his or her case after naturalization could all affect the records contained in his or her C-File. The different types of naturalization records in an immigrant's C-File may provide valuable clues into the events of his or her life:
Avoiding Common Index and Records Request Issues With C-Files
Careful attention to the information contained in your Index Search and Record Requests could save you time and money. Please be mindful of the following:
Index Search Issues – The most frequent complication encountered when searching for C-Files is identifying the correct naturalized citizen when many other immigrants have the same or similar names and dates of birth. If multiple index references match the requested immigrant, reference to the actual records can help locate the right file. Whenever available, please include the following biographical information with your Index Search Request. Any of these facts could distinguish your immigrant:
Record Request Issues – Unless you are certain of your immigrant's C-File number, you are strongly encouraged to submit an Index Search Request before your Records Request. Besides avoiding a wrong number, the Index Search may also identify additional immigration records that you may want to include in your Records Request.
For more information about where to find C-File Numbers, see Where to Find a C-File Number.

Kitesurfers in non-stop Atlantic Ocean crossing
A team of six kitesurfers will make the over 6000 km crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in two weeks
In this challenge six kitesurfers are to embark on the non-stop crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. The group will leave between 20 and 25 November from the port of Fuerteventura and, following the South Atlantic route, are expected to arrive in the Caribbean 2 to 3 weeks later, depending on the weather. The kitesurfers will take over from one another every two hours during the 6000-km long journey, surfing both day and night. In this longest ever 'downwinder' they will be supported by a 50-foot catamaran, the Lagoon 500 Double A, and its professional crew.
In search of the '6th Rider'
The participants of the HTC Atlantic Kite Challenge are initiator and founder of Enable Passion Filippo van Hellenberg Hubar (NL), along with Max Blom (NL), Camilla Ringvold (NO), Bruno Sroka (FR) and Mark Abma (CA). The team is still searching for the sixth and final kitesurfer. Through the "6th Rider Contest" the team would like to give one fortunate kitesurfer the possibility of joining this tremendous adventure. Those interested can register via the website of Enable Passion. Submissions will be accepted until Sunday 6 October 23:59 CET.
REGISTER HERE: enablepassion.com/6th-rider-contest/
"The idea for the HTC Atlantic Kite Challenge came about from my passion for kitesurfing and business ventures. One day I felt inspired to combine the two," explains Filippo Hubar. "I wanted to find out whether something that initially looked so impossible could be achieved with the right motivation and dedication. The idea slowly took form and resulted in a team of committed people. All those involved are contributing in their own way to realising this joint goal."
HTC main sponsor
HTC, worldwide leader in mobile innovation and design, is supporting this project. Through their sponsorship Enable Passion is able to charter the catamaran and crew that will support the group during their journey. The other sponsors Mystic, Urge and GoPro will be supporting the team with equipment. The team remains open to any further collaborations that could contribute to the success of this challenge.
"The challenge facing the kitesurfers is difficult to put into words. The enormous drive that has led to the realisation of this project reflects the HTC brand," says Mark Moons, HTC General Manager Western Europe. "With the Here's to Change campaign we want to challenge our public to make change and innovation possible. We believe in 'change makers', such as the people behind Enable Passion. They have a different outlook on the world and push back boundaries. We recognise ourselves in the passion shown by the team and are therefore delighted to help make this possible for Enable Passion."
Enable Passion
The HTC Atlantic Kite challenge is organised by the Enable Passion foundation. This non-profit foundation strives to inspire people in realising their passions, by organising and carrying out extraordinary and pioneering projects.

I'm Bridget.
I like to write. I do it for a living. I do it for fun. This blog is the fun part. (Work is fun, too. But this blog is almost always more fun than that, haha!)
I am a mom of two young kids – a son and a daughter. I am fascinated by them. Having kids is so interesting to me. And hard. And fun. And tiring. It's a yin and yang kinda thing. They make me laugh every day. Even when my day stinks and the last thing I want to do is laugh. I am so thankful I have them. Really.
I am the wife to a great guy. We've been together since we were 19. Yep, that's a long time. Hey, when it works, it works. He made me laugh when I first met him, and still does today. He's kind and generous. And infinitely cooler than I'll ever be. He's usually bad cop with the kids. Which makes me good cop. I like that.
My soul is one of a frustrated artist. I love to create things. Nothing useful or marketable. Hahaha. But things that make me happy. And proud that I did them. I always have a million projects going / started / tucked away to finish later (or never.) I love to take pictures. Design invitations / cards / anything printed. Make hair accessories for my gal, Grace (and anyone who wants them, really). I wish I could sew. I should get back into knitting – that was fun. I would love to paint. Or throw pottery. Or make jewelry. Or decorate houses. Ahhhhh…I need more hours in a day to do all the things I want to do. Don't we all?
Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy reading!

Model: MDB8851AWB – Mother board just quit – 3 years old – disgusting – replaced 16 year cheap Roper that never had maintenance problems but thought I would upgrade before I retired. I use dishwasher about a months. $1000 for 3 years of limited use? How dare you sell such a shoddy product. I have checked power connections. I show connection when I press "Delay" – so power is connected.
I will be charged a huge amount for tech to come out – I would rather rip, dump and advise all re Maytag's shoddy products. Kithenaid, now owns.
Would never have bought Maytag if I had known who owned the company. Are you serious – 3 years???????????

Beauty Tips For Novices And Experts Alike
Beauty can be an important part of your life. You need to do all of your research so that you don't end up improperly applying something or so you don't use products that will not work on your own body. There are some tips listed below to help you begin.
A great tip when it comes to porn beauty is to not overdue the makeup. Often times novices have a tendency to put on too much make up and as such make themselves look worse. Use makeup sparingly, and you'll find you will be turning guys heads everywhere you go.
Get an even, natural looking spray tan by investing some time preparing your skin before applying the product. For best results, don't shave or use any other forms of hair removal the day you plan to tan. Exfoliating your skin for several days beforehand will also help you achieve streak free results.
There are two ways to disguise blemishes and flaws on your face. First, gently apply concealer to the problem areas with a small cosmetics brush. The second method of disguising imperfections is distraction. Try wearing a warm, pink lipstick. This will draw peoples' eyes away from any flaws you wish to conceal.
Make sure your makeup pencils are sharpened. That way, you know that they are clean and ready for use. Place the pencils in the freezer or the refrigerator to harden them, and then sharpen.
Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler prior to applying mascara. Doing so will open the appearance of your eyes, and make your lashes look longer. To use an eyelash curler correctly, surround the root of your lashes with the curler and clamp down for a few seconds. Then, squeeze it again when moving it toward your lashes' end. This will curve, instead of angle, your eyelashes.
Beauty can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a lot of work. Regardless, if you know what to do and how to create your own regimen, you can get the results you want. So, do yourself a favor by doing your research and applying the above tips to your porn beauty regimen.

Farewell to Father Matthew Kelty
The last time I saw Father Matthew Kelty alive was the day of Frank O'Callaghan's burial in the Abbey of Gethsemani cemetery where he was sitting in his wheelchair.
I thanked Father Matthew, author and poet, for his lovely Christmas card, told him I loved him, held his hand and kissed it (against strict rules of St. Benedict and "not done.")
His eyes smiled that he loved the gesture, but his voice ordered the wheelchair assistant, "Take me back inside."
Father Matthew died peacefully in his sleep on Friday, Feb. 18.
A beautiful Mass was said for him at the Abbey on Monday, Feb. 21, by Archbishop Joseph Kurtz.
Abbott Elias Dietz gave the homily. Holy Eucharist was received by a host of family, friends, writers, painters, Bardstown residents and out-of-town dignitaries.
Flute player, Tracy Campbell, played a tender, heartrending "Danny Boy" as we all fought back our tears, remembering his Irish ancestry.
One of his books is titled "Flute Solo."
Here are pictures of Father Matthew's burial, which is a day of happy celebration of "going home" for the monks, not a day of sadness.
His grave is not far from the grave of the late Thomas Merton who trained him as a novice and whom Matthew described as "tough." He later became Merton's secretary.
Attending the funeral in a red sweater was Tommie O'Callaghan, former head of the Thomas Merton board and a friend of Merton, who was a frequent guest in her home.
This picture of Tommie resembles a red cardinal (no pun intended) in a sea of white monk's robes. Fitting.
I met Father Matthew via ESP one summer day years ago and obeyed the message and called him:
"Father Matthew, I met you briefly this spring and want to come over and photograph you."
"Come tomorrow after lunch," he said.
"Cistercian Publications just called me. They want a closeup for my new book jacket. Come tomorrow afternoon," he said.
I found him in his office where a window held a gorgeous blue glass Virgin Mary.
"Where do you want me,?" he said. "I hate having my picture taken."
"Everywhere you go as chaplain for the guest house," I answered.
I photographed him by his window, by the magnificent big hand illustrated Bible in the library; the guest hall chapel with a wooden cross on the wall, in the church proper, and finally let him rest on a wall in the garden.
"That's it, Father Matthew," I said, sneaking in one last shot as I knew full well he didn't believe me.
He was inside and out a beautiful man in his last book, "Singing For the Kingdom," is a chapter called "Death and Beyond."
"May the Lord bless you and keep you. May his light shine upon you," it says.
It, goes on to say:, " "˜The Lord's face shining on you' means eternal dimensions are part of your reality. His light embraces the beauty of this world in terms of the next "¦ faith reveals the scope of the human scene "¦
"Not just Christmas, health and happiness but the whole package: darkness and light, sickness and health, suffering and death, the whole package.
"May the Lord bless you and keep you. May his light shine upon you."

I enjoyed your article about Father Matthew very much. I too attended his funeral and it was, as you say, a very moving experience. Although I only knew Father Matthew in the last few years of his life, I found him to be one of the most interesting people I have ever met. Thank you for sharing your words and pictures with us.

Barnsley will resume interviews for a new manager this week following Sean O'Driscoll's decision to turn down the chance of a speedy return to management at Oakwell.
O'Driscoll, 55, surprisingly sacked by Forest just hours after their Boxing Day win over Leeds, was offered the vacant Barnsley job following talks with the club last week, but announced in a statement on Sunday that he would not be replacing Keith Hill.
"Our intentions now are to hold further interviews obviously now that Sean has made his feelings known," Barnsley director Don Rowing said.
"We're disappointed Sean did not want the job at this time, but we're respectful of his decision and his reasons why.
"We had a total of five names on our short-list, so we shall hopefully start interviews over the next 48 hours.
"It's always going to be difficult to get the man in that everybody wants. (Doncaster chairman) John Ryan has just said that the right choice for some is not going to be right for everyone.
"It's all about opinions. Sometimes clubs make a decision over a manager and it works and sometimes it doesn't, but we shall be doing our best to get the best man available to take Barnsley Football Club forward."
Barnsley sacked former Rochdale boss Hill following the home defeat to Blackburn on December 29 after a run of one win in 14 matches and assistant David Flitcroft has taken charge of the first team for the last two matches, including Saturday's FA Cup third-round win over Burnley.

Brief Description: haul data: Spiny dogfish discard mortality using commercial hook gear - Gulf of Maine and Cape Cod
Industry-science partnership investigating the short-term and long-term discard mortality of spiny dogfish using commercial hook gear in the Gulf of Maine.
Shelly Tallack (Gulf of Maine Research Institute)
Lara Slifka (Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association)
Final Report
The unpopular spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, represents a resource which, in recent years, despite its apparent high abundance, is considered vulnerable to overfishing. This vulnerability hinges on its characteristics of slow growth, late maturation (~6 years in males and ~12 years in females), high maximum age (35-40 years) and low natural mortality (M=0.09). One immediate problem faced by fishery managers is that while spiny dogfish are periodically caught in high numbers as bycatch (during both recreational and commercial trips), there is little information regarding the survivability of the discarded dogfish. Two recent studies have addressed dogfish discard survival from trawl gear and gillnet gear; the current study addresses survival from commercial hook gear.
This collaborative project represents a partnership between the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI), the Cape Cod Commercial Hook Fishermen's Association (CCCHFA) and commercial fishermen working with each organization in Gulf of Maine waters and Southern New England waters, respectively. The primary research objective was to investigate the short-term discard mortality rate of dogfish from different commercial hook gears. Survivability was investigated through caging studies.
A total of 2,418 dogfish were sampled between the two regions; of these 682 were caged by GMRI (45% males and 55% females) and 1,234 were caged by CCCHFA (27% males and 73% females). Dogfish were subject to three gear/handling treatments: 1) snubbed, 2) unsnubbed and 3) control. An overall regional difference in short-term discard mortality was observed; GMRI recorded significantly lower total mortality (7%) than CCCHFA (22%). Regional, averaged findings showed a sex effect with males demonstrating higher mortality (26%) than females (14%). The largest dogfish of each sex demonstrated greater resilience to mortality. Treatment effects were observed with mortality being highest in snubbed fish (23%), then unsnubbed fish (16%) and finally control fish (13%). Gear effects were found with highest mortality resulting from long-line gear (22%) while the different hand gear-related mortality ranged from 8-17%. The relationship between hook removal treatment and hooking severity index (HSI) was significant; severe mouth and jaw injury was most frequent in snubbed fish but was rare in control fish and the overall trend was that mortality increased with increased HSI.
Considerable variation was observed between the GMRI and CCCHFA findings; this variation was likely caused by differences in: water temperature, levels of parasitic infestation (i.e. sand fleas) and possible differences in handling, tanking and caging procedures. This study's long-term discard mortality assessments were aborted for logistical reasons and as such, these findings represent the range of likely short-term discard mortality from hook gears across the region.
An electronic jig machine is used to mechanically jig a fish hook or lure with a bait casting reel without using the fishing rod to jig the lure. Normally to jig a fish hook or lure one must move the fishing rod either vertically, horizontally, or jerk the fishing line by hand. The jigging action of this bait cast reel (how rapid and how long in distance the jig will travel) will determine the desired intensity and resonance of the rattle used in the lure to attract or snag the fish. With very simple controls, the equipment functions automatically since it is programmed to suit the actual fishing area, the fishing method and the type of fish.
Used to catch fish.
Longlining employs a central fishing line that can range from one to 50 miles long; this line is strung with smaller lines of baited hooks, dangling at evenly spaced intervals. Longlines can be set near the surface to catch pelagic fish like tuna and swordfish, or laid on the sea floor to catch deepdwelling fish like cod and halibut.

Fiery Roller-Coaster

Looking like a fiery roller-coaster, a solar arc of hot gas, known as a prominence, stretches across the surface of the sun in this ultraviolet image snapped by NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) on July 20, 2013.
With temperatures rising to thousands of degrees, the twisted filaments of plasma are shaped into intricate ribbons by powerful magnetic forces associated with giant groups of sunspots.
Launched in early 2010, the SDO studies how solar activity is created and its impact on Earth and its surroundings from the vantage point of space.

Like a sparkling jewel atop a cosmic crown, a lone bright star appears perched atop an edge-on spiral galaxy, in this newly released image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
The proximity of these two objects is an optical illusion, however, since the galaxy dubbed NGC 4517 is some 40 million light-years farther than the brilliant star—which lies well within our own Milky Way and is located in the constellation Virgo.

At 246 miles (396 kilometers) across, Mimas is the larger of the two and can be seen sporting a giant crater, named Herschel, which spans nearly one-third of the moon's diameter.
This shot was acquired by the robotic probe at a distance of approximately 690,000 miles (1.1 million kilometers) from Mimas and 731,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers) from Pandora.

On July 28, 2013, the Earth observation satellite Landsat 8 captured this stunning image of billowing smoke rising high into the atmosphere from wildfires burning in the Simcoe Mountains northeast of Goldendale, Washington.
The coastal region of Washington typically experiences heavy rains, but the Cascades mountain range blocks most of the moisture from reaching the eastern side, leaving parched forests and grasslands exposed to extreme fire threats.

RELEASED: March 16, 2005
EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will host the Northwestern Wisconsin Regional National History Day competition March 18.
The event is an opportunity for middle and high school students to "do" history by researching a topic of interest, said Melisa Cushing Davis, a graduate assistant in UW-Eau Claire's history department. The event offers students — either individually or in groups — to produce historical documentaries, exhibits, dramatic performances or research papers based on the 2005 theme, "Communication in History: The Key to Understanding," Davis said.
The event will run from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. March 18 on the second floor of Davies Center at UW-Eau Claire. Area teachers, UW-Eau Claire history students, graduate students and local dignitaries will be among those judging the entries. Awards will be presented at 2 p.m. in the Tamarack Room of Davies Center.
The UW-Eau Claire event is the next in a series of competitive National History Day events, which began at the individual school level, and also include state and national competitions. Winners at the regional level will then compete at the state level, with winners there advancing to the national competition. This is the first regional competition to be held at UW-Eau Claire.
The competitions give the students opportunities to present their work to historians, educators and other community members outside of their classrooms, Davis said.
Middle and high school students from western Wisconsin are expected to participate in the event at UW-Eau Claire.
"It gives students a chance to be creative in their learning while also receiving feedback from professionals in the fields relating to history," Davis said. "It's an exciting opportunity for students to explore a topic that interests them."
In addition, fourth- and fifth-graders also have been invited to participate in the day, Davis said. The younger students' entries will be evaluated by judges but will not compete against one another, she said. "It gives the younger students a chance to experience the event, and will help them prepare to compete during their middle and high school years," Davis said.
Faculty sponsors of the regional competition are Kate Lang, associate professor of history and interim director of the Center for History Teaching and Learning, and John Mann, assistant professor of history and co-director of the Learning by Doing Graduate Certificate Program for area teachers. Event sponsors also include Phi Alpha Theta, the history department, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the College of Education and Human Sciences.
The Wisconsin History Day event is slated for April 30 in Madison and the national contest is set for June near Washington, D.C.
For details about the regional History Day competition, contact Melisa Cushing Davis at (715) 836-5497 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Here's a moment of rare Washington bipartisanship for you: Republicans and Democrats agree that President Barack Obama's much-ballyhooed publicly-televised summit on health care will be much ado about nothing because nothing will come out of it.
"We're happy to be there, but I'm not sure what the purpose is," says Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. "It seems to me the President's already made up his mind."
Republicans want to scrap the existing health care bill and start over. Democrats say that ain't gonna happen.
"The idea we have to start with a blank sheet of paper is ridiculous," retorts Democratic Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania.
Bottom line: Lots of posturing, lots of contentious debate and little substance or accomplishment.
Both sides say compromise is out of the question. Each side tells the other to "do it it my way or else."
Neither side will budge.
Call it "mission unaccomplished."
Call it reconciliation.
Call it "same old,same old" When the Republicans controlled congress and the House, they rammed anything they wanted to do down the Nations throats. Personally, I think it's past time for the Dems to do the same. Give us Medicare for everyone, even at the cost of higher taxes. Make Medicare over so it covers all the benefits of the best (HAH!) health care out there. And frankly, I would nationalize every health care company. Why? Because all they do is deny you your services so their higher-ups can have multi million dollar "bonuses".
Maybe you should take a look at what Greece and other socialist European countries are enduring before you espouse such ideas. How much more taxation do you think the dwindling ranks of the working poor in this country can handle?
I'm curious as to how you would explain how the Republicans, with a smaller majority than the Democrats enjoy now, were able to ram their agenda down our throats while the 'obstructionist' Republicans are able to block the Democrat agenda now?
Can it possibly be that the Democrats didn't lift a finger those many years so they could play the victim card – as they do so well – to win this last election? Let us remember that the Democrats had a majority in both houses of the Congress since January, 2007 and sat there wringing their hands and whining about how they had no power to stop Bush.
Are you aware that Obama's budget freezes spending on domestic programs while increasing military spending? Are you aware that this budget also increases spending on nuclear weapons and funding for a new uranium enrichment facility to the tune of more than three billion dollars?
Are you aware that prior to the government creating the HMO system and mandating employers cover their workers, 96 percent of Americans had low-cost health indurance?
re: giff
For your viewing pleasure Frontline's "Sick Around the World"
In Sick Around the World, find out how five other capitalist democracies — the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland — deliver health care, and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures.
Sure, let's have the government farm out our healthcare to the lowest bidder. It does it with everything else, so let them do it with this also. Why bother with what the voters want, we are all TOO ignorant to understand it, right?? That's what the Dems are saying…(The republicans say it too…but the Dems are in charge this week, so they don't say it out loud)

I've written about this insanity before, as regulars here know. The fact is that, on average, someone is killed in this manner every day, day after day, year 'round. Often it's because they are expecting the train to be a slow-moving freight, but it turns out to be an Amtrak train running at 80 miles an hour. Uh-oh … BAM!! In collisions like these, the train always wins. Always.
Anyway, the Wichita cops put officers up front with the engineer in the head end of freight locomotives to catch the license plate numbers of cars committing this violation. They wrote a dozen tickets in one day … and I'm quite sure a number of other violators got off because officers were unable to see the license plate number clearly.
Here's the thing: When the story appeared in the local newspaper, many of the comments criticized the police for "wasting time" with that exercise. Really? Tell that to the families and friends of the nearly 400 people killed this way every year.

"This was one of the best chicken with barbeque sauce I have tried. It was saucy, can't have enough sauce, it was tender and sticky. My dad who is not a big fame of barbeque chicken loved it. He said he would have it again! This a great recipe! Very comforting and satisfying. Well worth the try!"

Skip the whipping, the mixing and all the baking, and create a cookie that will be loved just as much as those you make from scratch.
- 1 package soft-baked sugar cookies (8 in a package)
- 1 cup Nutella (hazelnut-chocolate spread)
- 1/2 cup red nonpareils (divided in 4)
- 1-inch heart cookie cutter
Place 8 cookies on a cutting board. Using the cookie cutter, cut heart shapes out of the center of 4 of the cookies and set aside.
Spread Nutella evenly over the back side of the 4 remaining cookies. Sandwich with the heart cutout cookies.
Sprinkle the center of the cookies with red nonpareils (use a teaspoon to gently push the nonpareils into the hazelnut filling).
Place the cookies in a cellophane bag and tie with a bow.

Make a fashion statement with a custom belt buckles
Custom belt buckles are the ultimate fashion statement accessory of the year.
The once plain belt buckle that was helping sailors and cowboys keeping their pants on while managing everyday tasks, is turning into a fashionable little gem, used to complete every outfit, regardless of the person's style.
Now, you can even create your own custom belt buckles to match your personality and give the final touch to your overall look, turning the buckle into another way of telling people who you are and what you stand for.
If you are a Superman fan, or you love the Betty Boop, put the characters on your belt buckle. Or maybe you are an ardent patriot and you want to declare this publicly, but not too "loud"? Then put the flag that you are so proud of on your belt buckle.
Whether you are invited to a fancy party tonight or attending an elegant ceremony, a customized belt buckle will add the final touch to your look and will inform the others what you like and what you don't, in a pleasant and fashionable way. Also, belt buckles are suited for both men and women and any fashion style. So don't be surprised if you are a wannabe fashion icon wearing a classy customized belt buckle that matches your haute-couture dress and you see a careless rocker wearing a customized belt buckle with a skull on it.
Actually, this is what customizing is all about!
Custom belt buckles come in a great variety of shapes and sizes and you can be sure that you will never find the same exact belt buckle elsewhere. It may vaguely resemblance yours, but it certainly won't be the same.
That is why customized belt buckles are a perfect gift idea. If you have a picky friend and you can't decide what gift will make him or her smile, take a look on www.hotbuckles.com to our buckles and then order a customized one. You can choose from a variety of materials and you can add your own graphic or initials on a plain buckle to make it a memorable gift for someone.
And I know what you are thinking right now: "Oh, these costumed belt buckles sure are expensive". Wrong!. Customizing a belt buckle is not that pricy, In fact, almost everyone can afford a customized belt buckle and will pay a reasonable price on a quality item that will turn a rather trivial outfit into a fashion statement or will just put a smile on someone's face every once in a while.

I'm most impressed with the speed in which the kettle gets to a boil. From the moment I decide I want some tea it takes about 5 minutes to have the water boiled, tea steeped, and ready to drink. It also looks good on my countertop.
I was super excited to order an electric tea kettle that was clearly marked as "Made in USA" in the product description. A few days after ordering, my tea kettle arrived. I couldn't wait to use it and then my boyfriend saw on the box that it says "Made in China." Very disappointed with the false advertisement and the frustrations of having to mail it back, and continue my search to find products only made in the USA.
This is a great electric kettle with just one exception... I think it smells funny when it heats my water but maybe that's just me. I bought this to keep in my office at work. It does the job!
The heating element burned out on the first kettle in 2 months. The heating element on the second replacement kettle burned out in 5 months.
From picture it looks good but it is made out of cheap plastic. The light effect is nice. Water heats up quickly. The only reason I returned the product because the lid spontaneously opens up when the water boils making it too dangerous to handle. The lid is not supposed to open during operation. I would not recommend it.
Plastic taste in water, NOT MADE IN USA. Returned after 3 days for also leaking.
I bought this kettle for my son who drinks a lot of tea. I have a different brand kettle and mine is clear glass. I selected this kettle on purpose, because it will not show hard water stains. Obviously you still should clean it regularly, but it looks a lot better than my old clear pot. Heats the water quickly, looks great, awesome price. Love it!
This has got to be one of the best kettles out there. It boils water very fast and its easy to clean. It turns itself off when its ready and it takes up very little space. I have not had any issue as of yet and the wife uses it 2 to 3 times a day with no problems.
Well made, sturdy cord and base plus looks great. The on/off switch is odd-- without words: To turn ON, FLIP lever to "O" symbol on top and to turn OFF, FLIP lever to the "-" symbol below the "O". Nice pop up lid on top that stays up (spring load I guess) for easy pouring until you press it down to close it-- is metal, with the body of the kettle in thick plastic resin material. So nice to have on the ready.
Unfortunately, I expected more from this product based on the reviews and picture. This kettle has too much plastic, wich definately downgrades its look. Also, it turns blue only when water is boiling, at the rest it has indefinite plasticly-grayish color. The blue color is only up to the level of the water. And also it takes much longer to boil the kettle in comparison to my old Hamilton Beach

EBRSO to host 'Coffee with a Cop' this morning
BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Deputies from the Community Policing Unit will meet with community members at Chick-Fil-A on Siegen Lane from 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. as part of the national program "Coffee With Cops" in an effort to come together in an informal, neutral space to discuss community issues.
Anyone in the community is invited to attend.
"We hope the community will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our deputies," said Cpl. Chad Parker. "These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships."
Coffee with a Cop is a national initiative supported by The United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. Similar events are being held across the county, as local Police Departments, Sheriff's Offices, and State Police forces strive to make lasting connections with the communities they serve.
The program aims to advance the practice of community policing through improving relationships between law enforcement and community members one cup of coffee at a time.

Report details progress in reducing runoff into Chesapeake Bay
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says conservation practices by farmers have reduced runoff into the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
A new report shows farmers have made significant progress reducing sediments, pesticides and other pollutants that flow into the bay.
More than 15 million tons of sediment have been reduced annually. That's enough to fill 150,000 cars on a train that would stretch from Washington, D.C., to Albuquerque, N.M.
Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. are among the clean-up partners.

Timothy Dalton stepped into the James Bond role after Roger Moore left the starring role in ironic spy action film series in 1987.
Moore is quoted in saying, "I believe Timothy is to appear in one of the new episodes, so if they ever want anyone to play his dad, I'm available."

Nothing Major Announced at SDCC So Far
No movie or other big news coming out of San Diego Comic Con 2009 relating to Doctor Who to report as of yet. Stay tuned to the upcoming Doctor Who: Podshock - Episode 157 in which we have quasi-live coverage with our correspondent Tara Wheeler of the events taking place today at the SDCC Doctor Who panel with David Tennant, Russell T Davies, and Julie Gardner and more.
With that said, it is still a very exciting convention with the guests on hand. We will have plenty to report in the next Doctor Who: Podshock.
First Glimpse at the 11th Doctor Costume
BBC News has posted an article along with the first published photograph of Matt Smith in his new threads that he is wearing as the 11th Doctor.
Shooting of the new series began today, Monday in Cardiff. In this photograph (see below for large photo) of Matt Smith along with new companion, Amy Pond played by Karen Gilan can be seen wearing dark rolled up trousers, tweed jacket and bow tie, along with black shoe-laced boots.
The new series slated to debut in the spring 2010 features Matt Smith as the Doctor taking over the role after David Tennant (whose term as the Doctor comes to an end later of this year). It also features Steven Moffat as the new Executive Producer and Lead Writer for the series, taking over after Russell T Davies completes his term ending at the close of this year with the last of the specials.
