Milwaukee barbershop offers students free haircuts
Updated On: Aug 26 2013 06:47:44 PM CDT
A Milwaukee barbershop helped children get ready for school by giving free haircuts on Monday.
Gee's Clippers also gave students a free ruler and pencils to help them get ready for school.
Besides getting supplies, mom Deborah Davidson said getting her son and nephews a new trim for the first day of school is also a must.
"I think the better they look, the better they feel and the more work they want to do, you know?" Davidson said. "This is going help out a lot of families."
Gee's Clippers expected to help out more than 100 kids Monday with free haircuts.
"We try to encourage the kids, inspire the kids in many ways, in as many ways as we can, you know, positively, to hopefully curb some of the crime in the community," Gee's Clippers' owner, Gee Gaulien, said.

I am writing in response to your editorial entitled "A passion for animals, a passion for the facts." The irony behind your title is that your editorial failed to capture the true facts that generated the public outcry and protest against the plan that was presented.
Fact 1: The Friendswood Police Department presented its initial proposal to repair the floor at the June 18 meeting to the Friendswood Animal Shelter Advisory Committee. This plan relied on farming out the animals to other neighboring facilities if space permitted.

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is a condition in which the heart has an extra electrical pathway, also called an accessory pathway. Because of this extra pathway, electrical signals in the heart bypass the normal route of electricity.
The heart has four chambers that work like a pump. The
are the two top chambers. They receive blood from the lungs and the rest of the body. The
are the two bottom chambers. They pump blood out to the lungs and the rest of the body. It is important for all four chambers of the heart to work in sequence with one another to create an effective pump.
The sinus node is located at the top of the right atrium. This node is known as the "pacemaker" of the heart. It works to control the normal heart rate. It makes the heart beat slower during times of rest or sleep and beat faster with exercise or when you are scared or excited.
Each heartbeat begins with an electrical wave (signal) that passes from the sinus node through the atria. This signal travels through the atria much like the ripples created in water when a pebble is thrown in. This electrical signal makes the atria contract, or squeeze, making them beat.
Next, the electrical signal moves from the atria into the junction between the atria and ventricles. This junction is known as the atrioventricular node (AV node). The AV node delays the signal slightly, and then passes it on to the ventricles, making them beat.
After the ventricles beat, the heartbeat cycle is complete. The next heartbeat starts in the sinus node and follows the same path.
In children with WPW, electrical signals in the heart do not travel along the normal route because they have an accessory pathway.
WPW may lead to two kinds of heart rhythm problems:
In WPW, the accessory pathway is typically present at birth. Some children with WPW begin having symptoms shortly after birth or in early childhood. Others may never have symptoms or develop them later in childhood or early adolescence.
About 10 to 20 percent of infants with WPW also have
heart disease, usually
Ebstein's anomaly
Our heart team has treated many children with WPW syndrome. We have extensive experience providing the treatment these patients may require through our
Arrhythmia Program
, including
radiofrequency ablation
implantation, and
. We also have a
pediatric cardiac anesthesia team
and a
cardiac intensive care unit
to help care for children who undergo heart surgery.
When you come to Children's, a team of people will take care of your child. Along with your child's cardiologist, you are connected with nurses, child life specialists, social workers and others, if their expertise is needed. We work together to meet all of your child's health needs and help your family through this experience.
Since 1907, Children's has been treating children only. Our team members are trained in their fields and also in meeting the unique needs of children. For example, the doctors who give your child anesthesia are board certified in pediatric anesthesiology. This means they have extra years of training in how to take care of kids. Our child life specialists know how to help children understand their illnesses and treatments in ways that make sense for their age. Our expertise in pediatrics truly makes a difference for our patients and families.

If someone told me that they wanted to start their own business then I would say go for it. I am the type of person who will always tell someone to follow their dreams. I believe it would be a horrible feeling having regrets later in life wondering what you could have done if you had followed your dreams.
However, people also need to be realistic about it before they start up. Here is a short checklist to determine whether you are the right type of person to start a business.
Do you need money right now?
If you are looking to start your own business to make money quickly, you are making a big mistake. In most cases you will be making less money for the first few years than you would have working for "the man". To those people who are working as employees for someone else, the idea of earning $70 an hour is quite attractive to them. However, they don't understand that they don't get to pocket all of that money. That money needs to be put towards advertising, petrol, rent, accountants, tax and other business related expenses. You never really earn $70 an hour.
Can you manage money?
If you are constantly finding yourself low on money when you need it, it is not a good idea for you to go into business. Managing your money isn't "just one of those things" you do in business, it is what business is all about. For every week that you earn money, you need to put a large part of it away for advertising and expenses including keeping a decent amount of money as usable funds so you can buy stock for the next week. If you cant stop yourself from treating yourself to that brand new 60 inch plasma screen with these funds because "you deserve it", just stop now.
Is working on computer all you want to do?
A common mistake that beginners make is starting their businesses expecting that they can work on computers all day without all the office politics and meetings they had with their 9-5 jobs. These people need to keep in mind that being self employed often means less time doing computer work because now you have to do tasks that would have usually been done by the secretary, the marketing department or the accounting department at your last job.
Do you have a entitlement mentality?
One of the big differences between employees working for someone else and self employed business people is the "entitlement mentality". Employees have the mentality that they are entitled to sick pay, holiday pay, overtime pay and even getting a raise if they deserve it. Their boss will look after all of it for you and put money away for their superannuation and maybe even cover some sort of health care plan which they are entitled to later in life.
When you are self employed, its all you. You are not entitled to anything. If you have to work late chances are you are probably not going to get paid any more. The self employed business owners also need to put money away during their good days so they have something to live off if they fall sick or go on holidays. No one else is going to do that for you. Getting out of this "I deserve" mentality will give you a great advantage in business.
Do you think you are the right kind of person to start a business? Do you know of anyone who has fallen into these traps?

Audi's first big motor sport program in 1981 was based on the quattro permanent four-wheel drive. After numerous championship wins and the banning of four-wheel drive in FIA circuit-based racing series for the 1998 season, a model from Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm with four driven wheels now returns to the race tracks — the Audi R18 e-tron quattro.
Four-wheel drive in an LMP1 sports car: Audi, in its 30 year plus motor sport history, once again makes a pioneering step as the brand with the four rings becomes the first automobile manufacturer ever to field a diesel hybrid at Le Mans. "To develop the hybrid technology for Le Mans is at least as ambitious and challenging as our diesel project was in its early stages," explains Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. "The first test results are very encouraging and we are intrigued to see just how this technology performs in combination with our ultra lightweight technology on the race track at Le Mans."

Davis Law Group, P.S. is an award-winning personal injury law firm located in downtown Seattle dedicated to protecting the legal rights of accident victims and their families. We represent people who have been seriously injured or suffered from the wrongful death of a loved one.
Whether it is the loss of a family member or a life-change injury, we understand that victims and their families are physically, emotionally and financially overwhelmed and unsure where to turn next. Our attorneys have the experience and expertise to successfully guide you through the legal process and recover the fair and reasonable compensation that you deserve.
Demanding Accountability for Negligence
We believe that those who recklessly cause harm to others should take responsibility for their careless actions. Individuals, corporations, and their insurance companies often fight vigorously to avoid compensating injury victims. The complex insurance claims process and insurance defense tactics make it difficult for ordinary people to protect their interests and legal rights without the help of an attorney.
Davis Law Group has a long history of successful litigation against insurance companies. Founder Chris Davis is one of the most respected and recognized civil litigation lawyers practicing in Washington State today. Few attorneys have been given as many awards and honors for exceptional legal representation, ethical standards, and client service. You have likely seen Chris Davis on local or national news programs discussing some of the firm's high-profile cases or offering commentary on other legal issues.
Protecting The Legal Rights of Injury Victims & Their Families
The physical, emotional, and financial costs of dealing with a serious personal injury or wrongful death after a motor vehicle collision, animal attack, or other catastrophic accident can be enormous. Medical bills or funeral expenses, lost wages, and other damages can quickly become overwhelming and make life even more difficult for accident victims.
You may feel overwhelmed or confused by insurance company representatives who attempt to deny, delay, devalue, or defend against your claim. With Davis Law Group on your side, you never have to speak to an insurance adjuster again. We deal with the insurance companies and fight to get you fair compensation for your damages while you focus on recovering from your injuries.
Our No Fee Guarantee: Contingency Fee Attorneys
The cost of legal services are often a major concern for people who have been injured in an accident and may have financial issues or be unable to work, which can make the process of hiring an attorney seem even more overwhelming.
We offer our legal services on a contingency fee basis, which means we don't collect attorneys' fees until we recover compensation for our clients. Contact us today to schedule a free legal consultation.

Rhombus Properties - Concept
Properties of rhombi often show up in geometric proofs and many other types of problems. All parallelogram properties apply to rhombus properties since a rhombus is a type of parallelogram. In a rhombus, there are (1) two pairs of parallel sides, (2) four sides that are all congruent to each other, (3) diagonals that bisect the angles, and (4) diagonals that are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
It's important to know the properties of a rhombus. Why? Because you're going to use it in proofs, true and false questions, matching, lots of things, especially when you are trying to find missing angles and sides within a rhombus. So let's get started.
The first key thing about a rhombus is that it's a parallelogram. So everything that applies to a parallelogram also applies to a rhombus. So we have two pairs of parallel sides. We also have four sides that are all congruent to each other, not two pairs of congruent sides like a rectangle.
The second key thing is that the diagonals bisect the angles. So if I drew in a diagonal here, it will bisect this angle into two congruent angles and it'll do the same thing to that angle. So these four angles will all be congruent to each other. If I drew in the other diagonal it will bisect that angle and it will bisect this angle as well.
Another key thing is that the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other. So they will always intersect at a 90 degree angle and they're going to bisect each other. So the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other but they don't necessarily intersect at a right angle. A rhombus it has to intersect at a 90 degree angle.
So, just to remind you, these two things are not true for rectangles. So for a rectangle the diagonals do not bisect their angles and the diagonals in a rectangle are not perpendicular bisectors of each other.

Congressman Charles Rangel wants Governor Eliot Spitzer to tone down his combative style.
In a meeting with state and federal leaders, Rangel suggested that the governor had anger problems, saying that "anger and emotion" won't help solve the problems of New Yorkers.
The governor has recently clashed with groups over his proposals to cut healthcare. Rangel says he isn't so much against what the governor is proposing, but rather how he's proposing it.
A spokesperson for the governor says that no amount of "distortive rhetoric" will make the governor back down from the core reforms embodied in his budget.

Osaka station is the biggest station in west part of Japan. Osaka station is located at one of two biggest downtown cores, Umeda. Even though Shinkansen do not stop at Osaka station, many limited express trains and many local trains stop there. And also three subway lines (Midousuji line, Tanimachi line and Yotsubashi line) and two private railways (Hankyu and Hanshin) have stations near Osaka station.
In this post, I would like to explain about JR Osaka station. And also I would like to share the information about transferring to subway lines, Hankyu and Hanshin lines at Osaka station.
Unfortunately there is no English station map. But Osaka station city map is very useful. This map shows you Osaka Station City Shopping complex. But it shows the station very clearly.
Osaka Station City map ground floor (PDF)
Osaka Station City map third floor
It looks very complicated. Don't worry. Actually Osaka station itself is not complicated so much. All platform is located on second floor. There is only conventional lines. Shinkansen do not have station here in Osaka station. (You need to go to Shin-Osaka station to catch Shinkansen train.) There are so many signs in English, Chinese and Korean. Don't worry about transfer among JR trains in Osaka station.
Ticket gate/Exit
There are four ticket gates on the ground floor and another one more gate on third floor.
First of all, please refer the ground floor map. On the ground floor, there are Midousuji gate (御堂筋口), South gate (南口), Central gate (中央口) and Sakurabashi gate (桜橋口). Both Midosuji and Central gates have a long concourse and connect to south and north. South gate is located between Midousuji and Central and facing south side of the station. Sakurabashi exit is located south west side and facing south side only.
On third floor, there is a connection bridge and Bridge gate (連絡橋口) is located at the middle. Please see the second link above.
You can access to any platform from all ticket gate. And when you transfer the train, you can take stairs or escalator to go up or down to change the platforms. Both ground level and third level can be used to transfer.
I will talk about transfer to private lines and subway lines later.
Tracks and platforms
There are 11 tracks / 6 platforms on second floor. There is no underground platform in Osaka station. And also you need to go to Shin-Osaka station to catch Shinkansen train. Therefore it is very simple to transfer in Osaka station.

|Only train to Tokyo stop at Osaka station.
When you go to Shin-Osaka, go to track #5 and #6 at same platform. Shin-Osaka is the next station from Osaka. All trains stop there and you can take any trains, local, rapid or special rapid. Travel time is just 3 minutes by any trains.
If you go to Kansai airport (KIX), you have two choices. The first choice is Rapid Kansai Airport train. This departs from track #1. The second choice is Limited Express Haruka. But this train does not go through Osaka station. You have to go to Shin-Osaka to catch this train. Actually rail from Shin-Osaka/Kyoto do not connect to Osaka loop line in Osaka station. Any trains come from Shin-Osaka cannot go to Osaka loop line. There is bypass line between Shin-Osaka and Osaka loop line. Limited Express Haruka takes this route and cannot stop at Osaka station.
If you use Japan Rail Pass, JR West Kansai area pass, JR West Kansai WIDE Area Pass, JR West Sanyo area pass or JR West Sanyo-Shikoku-Kyushu area pass, you can take Limited Express Haruka without any extra charge. Travel time between Haruka and Rapid is not much different. But Haruka gives you more comfortableness. Because rapid train is a kind of commute train.
Transfer to Hankyu Railways, Hanshin Railways and Subways
JR Osaka station is located in Umeda area. Only JR station is named Osaka. Other railways' stations are called Umeda. That makes you be confused. Simply Umeda stations is same place as JR Osaka station. If you transfer to other railways from JR Osaka stations in Umeda area, it might be complicated for you. Because there are many Umeda stations around JR Osaka stations. But there are many signs and is not far from JR Osaka station. First of all, please see the map below:
View Osaka station in a larger map
I will explain about access to other railways' stations one by one. And also I found very useful movies and share with you.
Hankyu Railway Umeda station
If you go to Shijo-Kawaramachi and Arashiyama in Kyoto, Kobe or Takarazuka, you may take Hankyu trains. If you go to Hankyu Umeda station, exit from Midousuji North exit and take overpass. The movie below shows you how to get JR Osaka station from Hankyu Umeda station. It is opposite way. But it will help you to understand the route clearly.
Subway Midousuji line Umeda station
Midousuji line is most primary line in Osaka subway lines. If you go to Yodoyabashi, Shinsaibashi, Namba, you will take this train. You can access to this Umeda station from Midousuji exit concourse. There is escalator to get underground. You will see Midousuji line Umeda station right after you get underground. See the movie below to get the details.
Hanshin Railway Umeda station
Hanshin Railway connect Umeda and Kobe. And some trains go through different private railway company Sanyo Railways to Himeji. There are several way to get Hanshin Umeda station from JR Osaka station. I think Central South exit to Umeda station route is the easiest. Central exit concourse connects to underground path. Just keep going straight and get Hanshin Umeda station. See the movie below to get the details.
Subway Yotsubashi line Nishi-Umeda station
Nishi-Umeda means West Umeda. It is located at west side of Umeda. This lines goes along Midousuji line most of part. The train stops at Honmachi and Namba. When you access to Nishi-Umeda station, use Central South exit. It is same route as getting Hanshi Umeda station at the first part. Please see the movie below to get the details.
Subway Tanimachi line Higashi-Umeda station
Higashi-Umeda is located at east part of Umeda. As you guess, Higashi means east. This line goes near by Osaka castle (Tenmabashi and Tanimachi-Yonchome) Tanimachi=Kyuchome (=Uehonmachi) and Tennoji. When you access to Higashi-Umeda station, exit from Midousuji South exit and go down to Underground arcade. Unfortunately there is no movie available for this route. But there is well signed. You won't miss it.
Osaka Station CityUmeda is one of the biggest downtown core in Osaka city. And JR Osaka station is located between two shopping complex buildigns, South Gate Building and North Gate Building. These buildings, station and shopping complex are called "Osaka Station City". This is one the biggest station shopping complex in Japan.
In South Gate Building, there are Daimaru department store, Hotel Granvia Osaka, Tokyu Hands, Uniqlo and many more stores and restaurants. North Gate Building was opened in 2011. Before it was opened, north side of Osaka station was very quiet. In North Gate Building, there are Mitsukoshi-Isetan department store and huge shopping complex "Lucua". These two buildings are connected each other by overpass on third floor and fifth floor.
On third floor, there is connection bridge and fare gate at the middle as I mentioned above. On fifth floor, there is "Times Square (時空の広場)". This square is located just above Osaka station platforms. It is a landmark of Osaka station now.
And there are many shopping spots around Osaka station, such as Hankyu department store, Hanshin department store and Yodobashi Camera. If you want to shop, you must expect to spend at least all day around Osaka station.
Japan Rail Pass, JR West Rail Pass exchange/sales officeYou can exchange Japan Rail Pass in Osaka station. There is a ticket office at the Central exit concourse. You will see the sign that says "Japan Rail Pass" at the end of the ticket counter.
If you want to purchase JR West Kansai area pass, JR West Kansai WIDE Area Pass, JR West Sanyo area pass or JR West Sanyo-Shikoku-Kyushu area pass in Japan, you can purchase it at Osaka station. The location is same as Japan Rail Pass exchange place.
But you CANNOT purchase Japan Rail Pass in any places in Japan.

Hi Takeshi San,
Can I take subway train from umeda to sanda (Kobe-Sanda Premium Outlet), how long it take and can i used Kansai Thru Pass.
Dear JRrail,
I want to go from osaka to tokyo today or tomorrow. Can you show me the cheapest way to tokyo? overnight train or bus are ok.
I'am looking for your answer as soon as possible.
Hi Takeshi,
Do one day pass for Kaiyu is available staring this month?
Last time it said that the Kaiyu pass will stop until 31 March because they want to revise the fee.
Hope you can give ome update. Thank you Takeshi.
Hi Takeshi,
I will be in Osaka next week and planning to go to the Ramen Museum. Based on their website, I need to take the express train in Hankyu Umeda Station via the Takarazuka Line going to Ikeda Station. I will be staying in Toyoko Inn Osaka Umeda Higashi. Can I ride the JR going to Ikeda? If Minamimorimachi Station is the nearest station from our hotel, can I get a train there direct to Ikeda? Or the only way is to go to Hankyu Umeda? I hope you can help me with specific directions? What station should I go to, what track number or line should I take to reach Ikeda Station.
Thank you in advance =)
Hello Takeshi-san
Thanks to your explanation above, the Osaka Station does not look so daunting now!
We have checked hyperdia, to travel from Arashiyama to Namba (as we are staying there) is to take the train from Hankyu Arashiyama. However, when we reach Umeda (Hankyu), we have to walk 4 mins to Umeda Subway (Midosuji Line). From what I can see from the map, it seems that the 2 stations are in different building. Please advise us on how to get from one station to the other.
Another question, is the Grand Front Osaka connection to the Uemda subway? Or can it only be accessed on the JR Osaka Station side?
Looking forward to your response
Thanks for the video. It seems that I will have to get out from the Hankyu Umeda station, then walk to the Umeda Subway station and tap in again…
By the look of things … I think it will take us more then 4 mins
Dear Takeshi:
I'm hoping you might be able to help me! I'm venturing off the JR rail line. and sounds like I need to take another train to get to my destination. I am travelling from Kyoto with my next destination being in Koyosan: Ekoin temple.. The monk from Ekoin gave me these instructions:
"I recommend you are going to come to Koyasan from Kyoto, you should go to Kyoto first and take the JR LINE bound for Osaka at Kyoto station.
From Osaka station, you take the Kanjo line for Sinimamiya at Osaka station.
From Sinimamiya station you NANKAI KOYA LINE bound for Koyasan at Sinimamiya station. It takes about two hours to Koyasan.
From koyasan station, you take the bus to "okunoin" or "okunoinguti" and take off the bus at "karukayado mae"."
I emailed him for futher clarification, but haven't heard back. I used hyperdia which got me from Kyoto to Osaka, but after that, NO LUCK! Hyperdia does not recognize Sinimamiya. What information do you have on other rail ines that I need to take to get to Ekoin. I'm hoping there will be some fares listed too.
I love your site, this will be the second time you help me with down to earth information. You're a gift to us tourists! Thank you
Hi Takeshi San
I have to alight at Umeda(Subway) from Osaka City Subway Midosuji Line and take the JR Special Rapid train to Kyoto Station.
Do I follow your "Subway Midousuji line Umeda station" video above? Just that I go the opposite way?
Also there are many JR Lines (Gates) on 1st and 3rd Level of Osaka Station City Map. Are they the same, in the sense that no matter which gate I enter, I can reach the JR Special Rapid train very fast?
I'm worried that I'm not in time for the transfer as the time limit for transfer is less than 5 minutes.
Appreciate your advice.
Thank you.
very good info!keep it up bro!
Great photos and info. By far my most loved station in Japan, I was there last may, especially now that the station has been upgraded, Osaka is such a incredible mix of old and new.
Am I correct in thinking there is one less platform than there used to be before the upgrade?
Thanks again for the site
Thank you for the very informative guide about the Osaka station. This information will certainly be very useful when we visit this April.
But does the Tracks and Platforms table disagree with the paragraph just under it? The table appears to indicate to me that tracks 5 & 6 are to Kobe or Takarazuka, and tracks 7 through 10 are the trains to Shin-Osaka.

Val's always poking fun of some of the names of my German ancestors. She's pretty sure there's a Friedrich Heinrich Johann Jakob Jingleheimerschmidt in my tree somewhere. I thought I'd share some of the gems I've uncovered from her side:
Here's another picture from the archives. I'm guessing this picture was taken sometime in the '50s. From left, my grandmother, Alice "Pat" (Waege) Rathkamp, unknown friend, and my grandfather, Bill Rathkamp. The tavern most likely was somewhere on the north or west side of Milwaukee.
Seeing a picture of my grandfather in a bar is akin to seeing a taxi in New York. But seeing "Granny Pat" sitting on a bar stool is a little strange. Must have been a special occasion.
My grandmother reminds me of Lucille Ball in this picture.
My blogging software has a feature that shows me search strings people use to find my website. Some of the search terms are pretty entertaining. Like last week when somebody somehow found me by searching "pic of an old German family having a fight". Other times, I can see Google doing its job by pointing to my site as people are searching for specific information related to some of my more "obscure" distant ancestors.
One common search string has to do with the origins of my last name, Rathkamp. I too have always wondered about the meaning of my surname, but didn't actually find out until about a year ago. I always had hopes that maybe Rathkamp meant "noble Viking warrior" or "wise Saxon tribal chief". It turns out the origin of the Rathkamp name is a little less dramatic. So for the 373 Rathkamps living in the U.S., I'm here to enlighten you.
I'm not fluent in German, but I'll do my best to describe some different naming conventions and will try to correlate these to names to my own family tree. Some German surnames were derived from jobs or professions such as Schneider (tailor), Bauer (farmer), or Zimmerman (carpenter). Others were derived from a physical trait of the original bearer such as Tonne (big belly), Rothaar (red hair). Other names were patronymic, meaning they were passed from a father to a son such as Leitzke or Niesl. In both of these cases the "ke" and "l" at the end of each forms the diminutive of Leitz or Nies (a derivitive of Dionysus). There are also examples such as Wadenstorfer or Neuberg which both probably refer to a home town.
In the cases of Waege and Rathkamp, each of these refer to physical characteristics of the land my ancestors either owned or lived on. Waege or Wege refers to a "way" or a "walk" or "path".
Rathkamp is formed by two different words: rath and kamp. Neither word is very easy to find in a German to English translator, so I'm guessing they're both old German. Kamp is derived from the Latin word Campus. Traditionally, it referred to the strip of land around the walls of a city or castle. Over time I think it morphed into meaning any type of field. The closest comparison I can make in English for Rath is to "root or pull out", in this case specifically trees or bushes.
So the moment you've been waiting for… Rathkamp refers to a field that originally was populated by trees or bushes.
So much for Vikings or Saxon kings.
Hearing about the current shortage of the H1N1 flu vaccine, I'm reminded of the fact that this is not by any stretch the first nor the most severe flu epidemic in our country's history. My great grandfather, Fredrich Walz was one of the many victims of the Spanish Influenza in 1918. In an earlier post, I mentioned how the Walz family came to America in 1905 from Russia. They settled in Freeman, SD where Fredrich was a horse breeder.
As I was preparing for this post I went to the website of the Freeman Courier where the headline ironically reads, "Fighting the Flu". My grandmother, Emma (Walz) Niesl was only 5 years old when her father died. I have a filmed interview of her conducted by my aunt Sandie (Niesl) Patten. In this interview, my grandmother talks about her memories of her father's untimely death. Tragically, her mother Sophia (Bischke) Walz also passed away at an early age. My grandmother lost both parents by the age of 13, but was taken in by family members in Milwaukee.
I have a lot of family history pictures that originally belonged to my great aunt Grace (Waege) Larson. Just the other day I realized that out of all these pictures, the pictures I have of my Great Grandmother Ida (Brockhaus) Waege are the only pictures I own that do a really nice job of spanning an ancestor's entire lifetime.
It's amazing what you find when
really look closely at a census sheet. The genealogy software I use is Family Tree Maker which is owned and developed by Ancestry.com. One of the nice things about this software is the "shaking leaf" it shows on a family member when it thinks it has information you'd be interested in. My grandfather, George Niesl had one of these shaking leafs tonight and even though I was pretty confident there was nothing new that I'd find, I clicked on the link anyway. FTM then took me to its search window where there was a link to view the 1920 census. Again, I was pretty sure I already had this record, but I clicked on it again.
It took 2 seconds to notice that my great grand aunt, Johanna (Rathkamp) Wetenkamp and her daughter Dorothy lived next door to my grandfather and his family on 20th and Vliet in Milwaukee. How many times had I looked at this record before?
Note also my grandfather is listed as "daughter". Guess George wasn't a masculine enough name.
The interactive map below shows what 20th and Vliet looks like today.
My friend Herr Wessels from Bassum, Germany has been a great source of information over the last couple months. He's also taken the time to teach me a lot about the region, naming practices, and has given me a glimpse into the society my ancestors lived.
Originally, his thought was that my GG Grandfather, Friedrich Rathkamp was born in Neubruchhausen, but after some more digging, he really hit a home run. It turns out Friedrich's birth name was Hinrich Friedrich Rathkamp, who was born in the very small town of Oeftinghausen, about 25 miles south of Bremen. Herr Wessels has sent me pages of the local history book which show my ancestors have lived in this town since before 1600.
It's pretty amazing to have this flood of information all at once, especially since I was stuck at their emigration for years. All of a sudden I know exactly where they came from, and I also have a slew of other ancestors to process.
I took German for a couple years in high school. It's pretty obvious I should have paid more attention, because I have to read through his emails and documents a few times before I get a good feel for what they say. There are a lot of documents he's forwarded, and I'm always afraid I'll miss an important detail.
Showing that the human element of genealogy always trumps names and dates, Herr Wessels actually met Walter Rathkamp in Oeftinghausen. From what I can tell, Walter is my third cousin. The picture below is taken from Walter's front yard, and shows the Rathkamp farm and blacksmith shop.
For Christmas two years ago, my wife bought me a test kit from the Genographic Project, sponsored by National Geographic. The purpose of the project is to track the migratory history of humans through the study of genetic data. After I received the kit, I quickly (and nervously) followed the instructions, scraping the insides of my cheeks, placing the specimen into the supplied test tube, being careful not to get any foreign matter into the specimen. The last thing I wanted was to get the test results back and learn that I had descended from a long line of Golden Retrievers.
At least once a day I'd log on to the Genographic website which tracked the progress of my test. Looking back on it, I honestly don't know what type of results I was expecting. I knew that all of my known ancestors were Germanic, but I also knew that mankind has a very transient history. When the results were finally posted, I was shocked to learn that my deep ancestors originated in Siberia 15,000 to 20,000 years ago. This genectic mutation also contains the people who migrated over Beringia, the land bridge connecting Siberia and Alaska. These people eventually became the native peoples of North and South America.
I think I sat reading and re-reading this information for a half hour. How could this be? What about my blue eyes and the blond hair I had as a kid? No matter what scenario I used, I couldn't make this information work. I don't think I completely dismissed the information, but the possibility of a "bad" test result seemed pretty real at that point. Maybe I did get some dog hair into the sample.
Recently, I found Dr. David Faux's website which I think states a very solid case for the possible genetic link between the Viking era Norse and the Central Asians which could include such groups as the Scythians, the Huns, and the Mongols. At 42 pages, there's a lot of information supporting his theory.
Obviously I'm not a geneticist, a linguist, an archaeologist, or even a historian, but Dr. Faux's theory at least helps me connect some dots. If true, the story of the migration of my ancestors becomes absolutely fascinating.
This is WAY cool! Today I was sending emails back and forth to my friend Ernst-Dieter in Bassum. Ernst-Dieter sent this picture of the house built by Johann Heinrich Rathkamp in Neubruchhausen in 1822.
I'm still not sure what my connection is to Johann Heinrich. It's possible he's my GGG Grandfather, but I have to wait until Ernst-Dieter has a chance to view the church records.
Either way, this picture is significant for a couple reasons. The first is the brick work on the house. The Rathkamps of Neubruchhausen were known as Master Masons and then later as architects. I'm no mason, but the craftsmanship does look very impressive.
The second, and more obvious, is the Rathkamp Wappen or family crest.
The shield is divided into three sections. The upper left shows what appears to be a pick axe and possibly a shovel laid over a pyramid shape. The lower left, a wagon wheel. On the right is a tree, possibly behind a brick wall.
It's going to take a little bit of digging before I can figure out what it all means. I have some ideas, but it's too early to tell for sure. This also brings up the question as to the significance of the crest itself. How long was it in the family? Was it passed on from generation to generation? What is the significance of the helmet?
For every stone turned over, 100 more questions present themselves.

The neighborhood tom that saunters down your street. The timid felines that dart under the restaurant dumpster. The litter of kittens that were born under your neighbor's porch. If you happened to missed them, know they are there. Stray and feral cats are everywhere.
To most of us they appear fairly benign. We show our compassion by putting out a bowl of food or maybe a shelter in the cold winter months. However, while these cats need our care and compassion, they more desperately need our intervention!
Facts about Feral Cats
The Facts about Feral Cats
Feral, or unsocialized, cats are a particular challenge in our communities. While young feral kittens can be successfully socialized and placed into homes, older kittens and cats cannot. They are not house pets, they are not tame. For these cats, the most humane and compassionate thing we can do is provide them a safe environment to live in and ensure that their population does not grow.
Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR) is the most humane way to manage the feral cat population. The feral cats are trapped using humane box traps. The cats are then veterinarian-checked, spayed or neutered, inoculated against rabies, and usually treated for fleas, ear mites, worms, minor bacterial infections and dehydration. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy cats too feral to be adopted are returned to their familiar surroundings under the ongoing care of a responsible caretaker. Cats that are ill or injured beyond recovery are not returned to their environment.
TNR is far more successful than trap-and-kill programs for many reasons:
Spay and Neuter Resources
Animal Friends' Low-Cost Spay/Neuter program has a feral cat package, including spay/neuter, rabies vaccination and eartipping, for $35 per cat. Call us at 412.847.7004 to schedule your feral cats for surgery and for advice on trapping and colony management.
You can help us humanely manage the feral cat population by sponsoring a spay. Click here to underwrite a spay surgery for a feral cat.
Ferals at Risk
In addition to having to contend with harsh weather conditions, scare food and water and physical dangers such as cars, feral cats are also at a higher risk of contracting Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).
FIV or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus is slow-acting virus that is similar to its human counter part, HIV. FIV is not dangerous to humans but is a health-risk and can be spread between cats. FIV attacks the cat's immune system and its ability to ward off infections. Once a cat has been infected with FIV, it is contagious for life. In early stages, the disease may go unnoticed, especially in ferals. FIV is spread between cats through body fluids.
Most cases of FIV infection come from bites sustained during cat fights. FIV is rarely spread through just causal contact. Ultimately and sadly, FIV is a fatal disease.

How to Help
Community support is critical. Whether you are a colony caretaker providing care for ferals, a concerned neighbor who is willing to learn more and become a feral volunteer or if you would like to financially support this important work, we welcome you. For more information on how you can be part of the solution, write to Carol Whaley at email@example.com.

As the crisis in Egypt evolves it is becoming murkier and more convoluted. While the face of the protesters being projected is that of liberal-loving Facebook and Twitter activists who only desire freedom from the oppressive reign of Mubarak, there are several other political forces at work behind the scenes.
Yesterday, I received an update from StratFor, indicating that the Muslim Brotherhood–the world's oldest and largest Islamic political organization–was POSSIBLY starting to work in collusion with the militant organization Hamas to further their own political interests in the developing Egyptian crisis. Jason beat me to the punch on posting the report (Bastard!) so here is a link to his post on the issue.
There should absolutely be no doubt that MB is trying to position itself politically to fill the power vacuum that a Mubarak resignation would provide. Additionally, the Brotherhood has made itself into an effectual political force in Egypt's parliament since 2005 and should be considered quite politically sophisticated.
In 2005 the Brotherhood won 88 seats in Egypt's parliament–about 20% of the total seats–increasing their total numbers almost five fold. Ironically though, the MB is considered an illegal organization in Egypt so the members of parliament who are tied to the group actually run under the independent banner. While they cannot effectively block legislation due to the dominance of the National Democratic Party in parliament, they are attempting to openly maneuver the parliamentary process away from its reputation as a rubber stamp for Mubarak. Instead they are apparently trying to move towards a more reform-minded position, concentrating on strengthening its weak legislative capacity and further the empowering the Egyptian people. The Brotherhood has even gone as far as creating a think tank and policy research arm which they refer to as the "parliamentary kitchen. " Its sole purpose as stated by Husayn Muhammad Ibrahim, vice chairman of the Botherhood's bloc and a twice-elected MP, "…is to use civil society and consult experts to organize information we use in Parliament."
While suspicions still remain high as to the true intentions of the Brotherhood, there is an interesting dichotomy which exists between Western perceptions of the Brotherhood and those of the Jihadists. In the West–the United States specifically–there is a great deal of mistrust towards the Brotherhood because of their history of assassinations, terrorism, and capitulation with anti-Israel forces. There is also the reputed fact that one of the major Middle Eastern political thorn in our sides, Hamas, grew directly out of the Brotherhood. Similarly, the Brotherhood's supposed embrace of democracy and rejection of jihad has generated feelings of disgust towards the MB from modern-day jihadists.
Presently the MB has officially entered the fray of the protests after remaining relatively silent for days. They have also thrown their support behind the former IAEA director, Nobel laureate, political dissident, and Mubarak opposition figure, Mohamed Mustafa ElBaradei. Meanwhile, in lieu of the MB's attempt at political posturing, whether to foster reforms within Egypt's autocratic government or to gain political power, they are not lynch pin in the whole crisis. The deciding factor on how this plays out strictly lies within the hands of the Egyptian military.
The important thing to remember is that the Egyptian military, since the founding of the modern republic in 1952, has been the guarantor of regime stability. Over the past several decades, the military has allowed former military commanders to form civilian institutions to take the lead in matters of political governance but never has relinquished its rights to the state.
Now that the political structure of the state is crumbling, the army must directly shoulder the responsibility of security and contain the unrest on the streets. This will not be easy, especially given the historical animosity between the military and the police in Egypt. For now, the demonstrators view the military as an ally, and therefore (whether consciously or not) are facilitating a de facto military takeover of the state. […]
The situation like many in the Middle East is not a monolithic one but extremely elastic. There are also many players behind the scenes, both inside Egypt and outside, that are going to weigh heavily on the political outcomes. One wrong move by any of the power brokers involved, and the hopes of a free and democratic Egypt will be dashed upon the rocks. Inevitably the only ones who will suffer will be Egypt's people.

This may not be as lucrative as the Expedia.ca SAVE300 promo code, but JetBlue getaways is offering $100 off hotel and flight packages when you use promo code getawaytofun. Once you enter the code at the last checkout page, the price of your package will drop $100.
I haven't had a lot of time to play around with this, but I did JFK-LAS on April 10-11 with one night stay at the Circus Circus hotel (gross, I know) and the total came to $192 for flights and hotel. I just did a dummy booking of the flight alone for those days and it came to $415, so deals can definitely be had, even if you don't plan to stay in the hotel.
This could mean free or near free trips for those on the west coast who want a quick trip to Vegas or any other city that JetBlue services. So play around with it and post your results below. Happy jetting!

What You Should Know About Tax On Property Investments
Many people get headaches over the issue of tax on property investments. Income levies are mainly what is paid on any income coming from profits gained from an investment.
Many people would want to invest in different fields and they need to know about the charges they are required to pay. Everyone therefore has to know the council levies band they are in. Council dues banding is the ranking of property from the least valuable to the most valuable. The higher the ranking, the higher the amount of money one pays.
Investment in assets is mainly concerned with buying and selling. This is where tariffs come in, and because any buyer or seller wants to make maximum profits from their franchise, the issue of levies is not always welcome. No one will want a sizable part of their income going into payment of council levies and they should seek for help from knowledgeable individuals who will help them cut on such expenses. Selling of belongings will give the seller profits, which are legible to deductions, for instance, the capital transaction payments for any assets sold.
An investor might opt to use a company, since it will help them save on expenses. Capital net gains end up being taxed heavily, and one can avoid this through a company. One might start their company to have it hold the assets so that they can take advantage of payments such as cooperation tariffs and dividends. These payments are lower compared to capital gain rolls.
It is a painful blow to understand that you have to pay a lot of money even when selling your possessions. Dues to authorities are unavoidable and anyone involved in selling should seek the assistance of a financial specialist who will help them with tips on how to reduce payments, for instance, any expenses on the assets should be deducted. Any investments on extensions also benefit from the exemptions. Costs incurred after repairs should also be not incur any levies.
Income from rent is ascertained as profits from business hence any landlord is required to pay some charges on the rental income they get. Again, there are ways these payments can be reduced and the services of an expert should be sought. Any amounts spent on the rental buildings are deductible fro the duties be it mortgages or even interests from any building loans.
Stamp duty is money paid when one purchases belongings. It is also graded in bands and it is paid after one purchases a home or any non-residential building. Any buyer must understand the amount of stamp duty they are required to pay

Audi to launch sub 25 lakh sedan by early 2014
Volkswagen group Owned German luxury car maker- Audi Group recently revealed its plans of launching A3 Sedan by early 2014. What's worth noting is that the sedan at entry level is expected to cost less than Rs 25 lakh. The news comes from German automotive maker as a part of plans for developing models more suitable for markets such as India, Russia and China and is expected to capture these markets by early 2014.
The new A3 sedan is expected to be an extension of the hatchback. It might be launched in three to four variants. The sedan will flaunt a sufficiently large boot space of 485 liter. It has stylish exterior but might resemble mini A4 from the distance. Its Europe version features 1.4 liter TFSI engine and costs 25,000 euros (INR 19.24 lakh). More about Indian version of the sedan is not known yet. But by the looks of it, its price will be something to look forward to. Its production started on June 12 on Gyor (Hungary) facility of the company. Incidentally, this is the only facility currently manufacturing the sedan. Chances for A3's production in India are high, as of now, but nothing can be said for sure. What can be said with surety, though, is that the sedan will be less than Rs 25 lakh in cost, as confirmed by Mr. Perschke, Head of Audi India.
Despite the sluggish growth of market, luxury cars have been doing well. And it is expected to do well for rest of 2013. According to Audi India officials, the market is expected to grow by 15-18 percent in 2013 to end up with over 34,000-36,000 units sold. Company aims to take these numbers to as high as 30 percent.
Interestingly, other makers of luxury cars in India are aiming at the same thing, primarily by focusing on cars with lighter price tag. Mercedes Benz has also been indicating its plans of launching a model that will cost less than Rs 30 lakh.

Simmons remembers victims of domestic violence with annual Clothesline Project
This year Simmons College celebrated the 20th anniversary of The Clothesline Project in honor of alumna and domestic violence victim, Betsy McCandless. Betsy graduated from Simmons College in 1971 and went on to earn her master's degree in counseling.
When she was 42-years-old, she met the "man of her dreams" and was married within three months. Her husband almost immediately started beating her. He stole her money, her car and her self-esteem. After six months she escaped and went into hiding. One day after attending her support group, she was feeling confident and decided to return to her apartment to retrieve her mail. Her then ex-husband was there waiting for her. Tragically, Betsy was the victim of a murder-suicide.
The Clothesline Project at Simmons College is organized by Betsy's Friends, an organization on campus committed to spreading awareness and educating students about healthy relationships, domestic violence and sexual assault. Every year Betsy's Friends puts together a program for The Clothesline Project which remembers Betsy and other victims of domestic and sexual assault.
Betsy's brother, Board of Trustees Member Stephen McCandless, talks about his sister and how Simmons is educating students about domestic violence and what to do if they find themselves in a violent situation.
If you or someone you know needs help dealing with cases of domestic violence or sexual assault, please call the Simmons College Counseling Center Staff at 617-521-2455 or send them an email to set up an appointment.

text: Oh man I had such a great weekend in Baltimore with Jessie! Friday night we went out on the town and danced our feet off. Then Saturday morning we got up and went to brunch - drank some mimosas - and then went to the national aquarium. It was so awesome, I cannot even explain. I loved it. Everything was so cool! The sharks, the blowfish, the frogs...I loved it! Then Saturday night we went out to this super trendy restaurant called Pazo. It was sooooooooooo good. Then we went out on the town again, and this time met up with her boyfriend and one if his boys. The bar was super fun but we ended up leaving because it was really smoky and was annoying us. We went to another bar for a bit and then headed back to Jessie's house and hung out. Sunday morning we all went to brunch, ate a lot, and drank a lot of mimosas again. Then we went to this bowling alley in little Italy and drank more bottomless mimosas. Ha ha. We bowled a couple games and Brad's boy Chris ended up getting a strike that won us a bucket of beer. It was hilarious, but of course I hate beer so I didn't have any. Ha ha. I finally headed back at got home a few hours ago. I think I need a weekend to recover from my weekend. Ha ha. See some pics below!
