Sunnyvale, California (PRWEB) December 24, 2012
The holidays are a time of festivities and family gatherings, but for those with dementia, they can be packed with hazards and surprises. Pathways Home Health & Hospice has a special program for their hospice patients who have dementia. As part of this program, Pathways Hospice has published seasonal tips on how to keep patients, caregivers, and family members calmer and safer during a visit.
Pathways Home Health & Hospice provides tips on planning, decorating, festivities, visitors, activities, kitchen safety, shopping and travel. These can help families, caregivers and patients have a holiday visit that is pleasant for all including the person with dementia.
People with dementia need routines—the same activities, in the same place, at the same time. Families should keep this in mind when taking a loved one home for the holiday. The excitement, the car ride, change in surroundings and many people talking can cause the confused person with dementia to become agitated or upset.

Heresy, 8% ABV, is an incredibly intriguing ale made by aging our Old Heathen Imperial Stout in oak barrels that were used for making fine Kentucky bourbon! The result is an extraordinary, dark and mysterious stout whose very essence has been enhanced. The aroma is filled with vanilla, cocoa and roasted coffee beans. This silky-smooth brew has notes of oak, whiskey, roasted barley and vanilla that meld together on the tongue to create an incredible sensation.
Hints from the kitchen: Try this beer in brownies, over ice cream, in icing or in lieu of your morning coffee (kidding on the last bit there… you should probably wait 'til noon)!
Original Gravity: 20.6
Hops: Perle (B), Fuggles
Recommended Serving Temp: 45° – 55° F
Serving Glass: Cuvee, Pint
Available: Winter – Spring

Prose Edda/Háttatal
|Prose Edda by
Most of the forms depend on number of syllables per line, as well as assonance, consonance, and alliteration. Although end rhyme is represented, it does not function in the ways most modern English speakers expect (forms include AAAAAAAA, and AAAABBBB), and plays a very minor role. Understanding this work will be much easier if The First Grammatical Treatise is also available to hand.
Many scholars have suggested that the form of Háttatal suggests a classical influence derriving from the traditions of Christian learning Snorri was doubtless exposed to. Others have argued that this is a result of using a logical approach, within the framework of a dialog, and that some aspects of the work prove that it was not directly influenced by classical writings.

Scott Simmons was born in rural West Tennessee and didn't really realize that movies and tv had to be made by actual people until he went to college. After getting degrees in both Television Production and Graphic Design he was in one of the early graduating classes at the Watkins Film School in Nashville, Tennessee. During that time at Watkins he discovered editing. While most of his classmates in film school wanted to be directors, Scott saw real career opportunities in post production and took a job as an assistant editor after completing fi...

There's a couple of really good multi-part interviews that have been airing incrementally around the Internet that I wanted to point to.

When I was teaching the Music Video Workflow class at NAB this year, one part of the discussion centered on the editing timeline and how, if you're not careful, it can become a multi-layered, sloppy mess. Everyone has their own way of housekeeping within the editing timeline but one thing you should never do is turn over a sloppy, unorganized timeline to another editor. I got an email from one of the attendees after the class that pointed me to a program called Auto Collapse that can automate timeline cleanup in Final Cut Pro.

Here's a fun little 2:48 video that's been making the Twitter rounds (NSFW as there's some language so be warned) so for those readers who aren't on Twitter, the embed is after the jump. It's called CINEMATOGRAPHER VS. PRODUCER, (make with the xtranormal animation website) is a fictional discussion of the lovely DSLR world we live in and even has a nice laugh in there for editors too! Sadly, it's kinda based in reality.

There's been a great new "viral" video making rounds recently, Guy Walks Across America. It's currently at over a half million views on You Tube and will likely continue to rise as it's buzz grows.

Colorista. It's one of those indispensable tools for those doing serious Final Cut Pro work. If you're color correcting and finishing in your FCP box then the built-in 3-Way Color Corrector becomes merely adequate in comparison to the image quality you can crank out of Colorista. And Colorista has always worked in your other host applications as well (Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Avid Media Composer) so that rounds out its usefulness. But one thing that has always been missing from Colorista is secondaries, something you'd often find yourself wishing for. With Magic Bullet Colorista II, from Red Giant Software, that wish has been answered ... in a big way.

Okay, let's get one thing out of the way first: the new Drap and Drop timeline in Avid Media Composer 5.0 isn't a direct rip-off of Final Cut Pro's timeline. Nor will an FCP editor sit down in front of MC5 and instantly be able to rip into the timeline via mousing in the same way they do with FCP. Nor will an Avid editor sit down in front of MC5 for the first time, turn on the new Smart Tool, and instantly have their editing world changed. Avid's implementation of the open, Drag and Drop timeline is complex, well thought out and will take some time to master. Like most big change / feature implementations in Avid's Media Composer product, it often takes some time for things to get added to the software but when it happens these features are usually feature rich and often leap-frog the competition.

Apple has made great use of their retail stores as place of learning. Many of the locations have small theaters where pros lead classes on everything from Photoshop to Mac troubleshooting. Another fun thing they do is offer a number of youth programs. One of those upcoming programs is Apple Camp - Lights. Camera. Camp. It's a "fun, free workshop where kids become filmmakers." This 3-day even takes kids from 8 - 12 basically through the pre-production, production, post-production and exhibition of a mini-movie. How great it would have been to have such a thing when I was a kid! And speaking of that, a little story ...

The discussion about how it was made was equally fascinating. Today a new one was release and while there's no making of just yet that I could find this one is fun to watch. It wasn't all a practical shoot as there has to be some wire removal. Watch frame by frame on the sky splitting apart as it's fun to see the set just starting to move. It's creative advertising like this that will get people to watch advertising. The other two ads in this series are embed after the jump.

With any big software upgrade there's going to be changes. Some visible, some not so visible. Personally, I love those changes ... as long as they add new or needed functionality without getting in the way. One of the big things we often worry about with big upgrades are interface changes that might clutter up a clean design or impart on the editor additions or subtractions that might seem more like a step backwards. Of course much of this type of thing is subjective. One editor's productivity enhancement is another editor's unnecessary feature. With that said, here's a look at some of the bigger interface enhancements that I noticed upon first working with Avid Media Composer 5.0.

Red Giant Software has just dropped a new tool into the family of Magic Bullet products and it might be of great interest to the DSLR shooter. Magic Bullet Grinder is a simple application tasked with transcoding your Canon 5D/7D/1D files out of their H.264 native state and into something a bit more usable. It also can create lower resolution offline versions of the same clips for editorial should you be in an offline to online position. While simple, Magic Bullet Grinder works quite well and has a few tricks up its sleeve.

The DV Show dropped a great post over the weekend that answered a question from one of their readers: "I'm looking for some plugins or tools to enhance my productions. I mainly use Final Cut Pro and was wondering if there are any free or low cost alternatives to make my videos look better." With that they listed 14 Must Have FREE Plugins & Tools for Final Cut Pro. It's a fantastic list of a number of great tools that will be right at home in any editor's toolbox. But this post got me thinking about some of the paid plug-ins and tools that are great in the FCP editor's toolbox as well.

A bit earlier this year Euphonix began shipping its highly anticipated MC Color control surface. This unit was designed for use with Apple Color and has been welcomed by Color users to add another option to their hardware based control surface choices. Until the MC Color came along your choices were either one of the JL Cooper units or the more affordable Tangent Wave. At $1,499 the MC Color doesn't break what I think is the magic $999 mark (magic in the sense that it will put a control surface in the hands of a lot more users) but it's right along side the Wave in price and less than the JL Cooper offerings. The MC Color is also a very new unit. There's a few glitches and bugs than can probably be worked out in software but the hardware is what it is at this point and there's both a lot to like and a missing feature in the hardware itself. But there's one thing that's certain, the MC Color makes the Color application much more useful than a mouse alone.

On the last day of 1959 my father, the Beau Brummel of morticians, piled us into his green and white Desoto in which we looked like a moving pack of Salem cigarettes. He drove away from Lanesboro, the city in which we all were born, and into a small town on the Kentucky and Tennessee border. It was only a ninety-minute drive, but it might as well have been to Alaska. When our big boat of a car glided into Jubilee we circled the town square and headed towards the residential section of Main Street.

In 2013, actress, television personality, and Sunday Times best-selling author Lynda Bellingham was diagnosed with cancer. Until now, Lynda hasn't spoken publicly about her illness - she has felt strongly that everyone's experience of cancer is so different, and she wanted to keep what she has been going through personal to her while she came to terms with her life now.

Narrated by Stephen Hogan and introduced by Roy Keane. In an 18-year playing career for Cobh Ramblers, Nottingham Forest, and Manchester United (under Sir Alex Ferguson) and Celtic, Roy Keane dominated every midfield he led to glory.

"Weak, but diverting if you're a committed fan"
Well hello to you dear audiobook browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence? I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you, too, dear listener) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.
"Winner of the 2014 Samuel Johnson PrizeShortlisted for the 2014 Costa Biography Award'. In real life, goshawks resemble sparrowhawks the way leopards resemble housecats. Bigger, yes.

"The 'Real' Wolf"
Nowadays, the world is full of people trying to tell us things. So much so that we have taught our brains not to pay much attention. After all, click the mouse, tap the screen, flick the channel and it's on to the next thing. But Dave Gorman thinks it's time to have a closer look, to find out how much nonsense we tacitly accept. Suspicious adverts, baffling newspaper headlines, fake twitter, endless cat videos, insane TV shows where the presenters ask the same questions over and over.
"Made me laugh, very entertaining."
It's only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.
"Postumous recognition of a troubled genius"
a) A fatuous, wasted, degenerate and wholly useless existence captured in delicate, lyrical and exquisitely realised prose. b) Lightly amusing anecdotes and tender reminiscences of the great men and women encountered during a rich, varied and rewarding lifetime, fondly remembered in the tranquil evening of a career of public service. c) The autobiography of a dizzying life fuelled by the lust for power and the search for ever more degrading downward paths of repulsive sexual adventuring.

Alan's maternal grandfather, Tommy Darling, had disappeared to the Far East after the Second World War.

"Makes a good audiobook but reading is stiff"
Clare Balding grew up in a rather unusual household. As her father is a champion trainer, she shared her life with more than 100 thoroughbred racehorses, mares, foals, and ponies, as well as an ever-present pack of boxers and lurchers. As a toddler she would happily ride the legendary Mill Reef and take breakfast with the Queen. She and her younger brother came very low down the pecking order. Left to their own devices, they had to learn life's toughest lessons through the animals, and through their adventures in the stables.

Innovator. Genius. Legend. Jim Henson was a talent like no other. The iconic characters he created - Kermit the Frog, Bert and Ernie, Miss Piggy, Big Bird - made Jim Henson a household name. But they were just a part of his remarkable story. Now, in this extraordinary biography, written with the generous cooperation of the Henson family, Jim's life is given full rein: his vibrant imagination, winning sense of humour, and infectious enthusiasm.
One of the classic volumes of autobiography, My Early Life is a lively and colourful account of a young man's quest for action, adventure and danger. Churchill's schooldays are undistinguished, but he is admitted to Sandhurst and embarks on a career as a soldier and a war correspondent, seeing action in Cuba, in India, in the Sudan - where he took part in the battle of Omdurman, of which he gives us a stirring account - and finally in South Africa.
One bright day in December 2001, sixty-two-year-old Germaine Greer found herself confronted by an irresistible challenge in the shape of sixty hectares of dairy farm, one of many in southeast Queensland, Australia, which, after a century of logging, clearing, and downright devastation, had been abandoned to their fate. She didn't think for a minute that by restoring the land she was saving the world. She was in search of heart's ease.

"Really interesting story, very enlightening"
In a classroom in sultry Guangzhou, having never before left the United States nor taught a class on anything, armed only with a beginner's grasp of the language, Brasunas is confronted by 37 ninth graders in uniform. Only his intrinsic curiosity about Chinese culture and about himself drives him on, to keep trying in the tense classroom, to trust his instincts in the frenetic and dishonest street markets, and to make new friends from all walks of life.
Elon Musk is the man behind PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, multi-billion dollar companies he founded. Although he is now a multi-billionaire, his objective has never been to amass great wealth, but to save humanity. Writing in the Smithsonian, Carl Hoffman noted: "He does not laugh or crack a smile when he says this. There is no hint of irony."
J. Edgar Hoover called the FBI the "Seat of Government", and in many way it was. He was one of the most powerful men in American history and while he was at the helm of the "Seat of Government", few dared to defy him. He was a law onto himself, the self-anointed protector of American security and virtues. Hoover's career with the FBI spanned 10 presidents, eight while he was the director. Trying to understand J. Edgar is like trying to solve a Rubic's cube with both hands tied behind the back.
Separating fiction from fact, award-winning author Daniel Alef, tells the true story of Zuckerberg's meteoric rise and his indelible mark on the evolution of American culture through social networking and now advertising. The curly-haired wunderkind rubs elbows with Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Graham, and other prominent players in today's business, technological, and media world and is an emerging philanthropist.
Kelly Johnson designed the Blackbird, a plane that flew non-stop from London to Los Angeles in less than four hours, outracing the sun and landing four hours before it had taken off, a remarkable feat - and this was more than 35 years ago. Johnson was the innovative genius behind Lockheed's "Skunk Works", and played a leading role in the development of more than forty aircraft, including some of America's most sophisticated planes such as the Constellation, Shooting Star, F-104, U-2, and the SR-71 Blackbird.
Some people may consider joy or love to be the strongest emotion there is, but think back to the most embarrassing moment you've ever experienced and chances are the same gut-punch feeling you had when it happened will come flooding back to you. In this collection of essays, Thought Catalog writer Shawn Binder attempts to capture his most poignant and hilarious embarrassing stories.
Biographical profile of Walter Elias Disney, the man who built an empire on the back of a mouse. Imbued with an iron-like drive to succeed, Disney pushed, prodded, and pressed those around him, as he did himself, to succeed. He was always on the edge of vision and technology. An unmitigated risk taker, Disney constantly flirted with financial ruin, seemingly bent on a mission to remain in debt while his brother Roy's ambition was to harness Walt's financial excesses.
A collection of personal essays from a young girl, who may have been called normal, but was anything but. Growing up with an Autistic younger brother and a bulimic mother, Abby Norman left home at age 12 and became emancipated at age 16. Her freedom sent her on a journey of self-discovery that would take her to the streets of New York City, an alcove above a stairwell in Maine, to a doctor's office and operating rooms in several states, and finally, Abby found her home in the very hospital walls where her appendix tried to passively murder her.
Joseph Warren Revere, a grandson of the legendary Paul Revere, served in the U.S. Navy; circumnavigated the globe; raised the first American flag in Sonoma, California during the Mexican War; battled pirates, sharks, and Indians; searched for gold; had a scandalous affair; joined the Union Army and received a court-martial for his actions at the Battle of Chancellorsville during the Civil War. And then he began the fight of his life.
Leonard Lake and Charles Ng left their dark mark on society as two of America's worst and most appalling serial killers. Between 1984 and 1985, the unlikely homicidal pair perpetrated their sex-motivated crimes at a secluded cabin and adjacent custom-made bunker of horrors in an unincorporated area in Calaveras County, California, where they brought abducted victims, sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered, often videotaping their heinous crimes for their sick pleasure.
Introduced, annotated and edited by Dickens scholar Michael Norris, here we have insightful, vivid, first-person accounts of Charles Dickens by the people who knew him best, including sons Henry Fielding Dickens and Charles Dickens Jr., daughters Mamie and Kate Dickens, colleague and authorized biographer John Forster, and others. Taken together, these writings provide a stunning portrait of Dickens as a living breathing man: friend, father, collaborator and citizen.
Kim Philby, the so-called Third Man in the Cambridge spy ring, was the Cold War's most infamous traitor, a Soviet spy at the heart of British intelligence. Philby joined Britain's secret service MI6 during the war and went on to head the section tasked with rooting out Russian spies before becoming the service's chief liaison officer with the CIA. He betrayed hundreds of British and US agents to the Russians and compromised numerous operations inside the Soviet Union.
What changed the direction of Dara's life journey? She chose to believe and travel with the power of love, God's love - a love that at first was not always easy to understand, trust, or accept. As her story reveals, it was Divinely life-transforming when she welcomed this unconditional love into her heart. Dara's life lessons are about choices and how great trials can be great teachers; how the biggest hurts can be the biggest gifts. It is one's choice how to learn the lesson.
The name of Charles Darwin is known to nearly all who have had the benefit of a Western-style education. It is synonymous with the theory of evolution and due to his perspective of man as an animal, his worked ushered in a new paradigm of understanding of the physical and mental behavior of man. However, because of the immense impact of his best known theory, most know only of his work through reviews and historical reports.
Preeti was barely six years old when doctors diagnosed her deteriorating vision as a condition due to optic atrophy. Those were difficult days but with the support and encouragement of her parents she learnt to get the best out of her disability. She looked for possibilities, focused on every positive she could dream of, always playing her best shot at facing challenges and failures with dignity and without shame.
At middle age, Herb and Nancy Payson decided they needed a change. Why not give up life on shore, quit their jobs in the smoky nightclubs of Los Angeles, and take up the cruising life? In Sea Foam, their 36-foot ketch, the Paysons and their large brood of teenage children cruised the Pacific for six and a half years. They experienced a certain amount of stark terror, but their delights far outbalanced the drawbacks. This special 35th anniversary edition is enhanced with a foreword by Lin Pardey, plus Herb's reflections on how cruising affected his children and his relationship with his determined, lifelong partner/wife Nancy.
When Robert Howard is assigned James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in his Catholic high school, his teacher, a Jesuit priest, announces, "Other people may read about it, but you are LIVING it!" As promised, the young Howard, growing up in 1970s Detroit, feels an intense identification with the protagonist of Joyce's first novel, Stephen Dedalus.
I was born during the depression, or rather at the end of it. By all rights, I shouldn't be here. I was the 11th child, and I'm sure my arrival was not heralded as a blessed event. I should have been dead before my first birthday and tagged as another statistical victim of poverty. My family would have to borrow money to be labeled "poor". They were in downright poverty. I wasn't a bad child, but I wasn't a good child either... I was spoiled by my adoptive parents.
Acclaimed author Charles R. Morris vividly brings these men and their times to life. The ruthlessly competitive Carnegie, the imperial Rockefeller, and the provocateur Gould were obsessed with progress, experiment, and speed. They were balanced by Morgan, the gentleman businessman, who fought, instead, for a global trust in American business. Through their antagonism and verve, they built an industrial behemoth - and a country of middle-class consumers.
An editor and writer's vivaciously entertaining, and often moving, memoir - a true story that reminds us why we should all make time in our lives for books.Nearing his fortieth birthday, author and critic Andy Miller realized he's not nearly as well read as he'd like to be. A devout book lover who somehow fell out of the habit of reading, he began to ponder the power of books to change an individual life-including his own-and to define the sort of person he would like to be.

"absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!"
In this long-awaited and candid memoir, Hitchens re-traces the footsteps of his life to date, from his childhood in Portsmouth, with his adoring, tragic mother and reserved Naval officer father; to his life in Washington DC, the base from which from he would launch fierce attacks on tyranny of all kinds. Along the way, he recalls the girls, boys and booze; the friendships and the feuds; the grand struggles and lost causes; and the mistakes and misgivings that have characterised his life.
"Tour De Force"
Alan Mathison Turing. Mathematician, philosopher, codebreaker, a founder of computer science, and the father of Artificial Intelligence, Turing was one of the most original thinkers of the last century - and the man whose work helped create the computer-driven world we now inhabit. But he was also an enigmatic figure, deeply reticent yet also strikingly naive. Turing's openness about his homosexuality at a time when it was an imprisonable offense ultimately led to his untimely death at the age of only 41.

"Unique and inspiring leader of our generation"
In his introduction to The Life of Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ketcham notes that there has been so much written about Lincoln that the legend has begun to obscure, if not to efface, the man. "In this biography the single purpose has been to present the living man with such distinctness of outline that the reader may have a sort of feeling of being acquainted with him."
A stunning look at World War II from the other side.... From the turret of a German tank, Colonel Hans von Luck commanded Rommel's 7th and then 21st Panzer Division. El Alamein, Kasserine Pass, Poland, Belgium, Normandy on D-Day, the disastrous Russian front - von Luck fought there with some of the best soldiers in the world. German soldiers.

Drawing on extensive original Russian sources, Marcel H. Van Herpen analyzes in detail how Putin's wars were prepared and conducted and why they led to allegations of war crimes and genocide.
Ever since he can remember, Dom Joly has been fascinated by travel to odd places. In part this stems from a childhood spent in war-torn Lebanon, where instead of swapping marbles in the schoolyard, he had a shrapnel collection -- the schoolboy currency of Beirut. These early experiences left Dom with a profound loathing for the sanitized experiences of the modern-day travel industry and a taste for the darkest of places.
"Amusing, engaging and thought-provoking"
Prison is harsh enough, but as a foreigner (farang) in a strange land, jail time is an even more horrifying reality. Rotting in the Bangkok Hilton is a collection of short stories chronicling T. M. Hoy's descent into the harrowing world of Southeast Asian prison life. Through his eyes, listeners will experience the bizarre events of daily life in a Thai maximum security prison: feel the weight of the chains he wears; the stomachaches from lack of food; witness the murders, drug overdoses, torture, and unbridled cruelty that ensues.

"Awesome, amazing , fantastic.... Love it"
Paul Morley grew up in Reddish, less than five miles from Manchester and even closer to Stockport. Ever since the age of seven, old enough to form an identity but too young to be aware that 'southern' was a category, Morley has always thought of himself as a northerner. What that meant, he wasn't entirely sure. It was for him, as it is for millions of others in England, an absolute, indisputable truth.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The University of Tennessee is planning to sell its former president's residence for $2 million.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports that the executive and compensation committee of UT's Board of Trustees voted to accept the offer from Magnolia Trust, which includes Knoxville businessman Joe Fielden and members of his family.
The 11,000-square-foot residence sits on three acres on Fort Loudoun Lake with a tennis court and a boat house. The university has been trying to sell the residence for five years.
The State Building Commission would have to approve the sale because it is below the building's appraised value of up to $2.5 million. UT Chief Financial Officer Charles "Butch" Peccolo said the buyers plan to invest a "substantial amount of money" to renovate the property for residential use.

I've been able to boot into busybox on a Powermac 7600 and ran mac-fdisk

for me to tell you what commands are present and what is missing. I can

Are other people seeing this? Or do I somehow have a bad ramdisk image?
I got the initrd.img from the 2002-04-22 iso.
Could this be a weird artifact of problems with BootX? I'm using BootX
and setting the ramdisk size to 24000k.

One Parkersburg church was on a mission on helping a local shelter that's known to housing the homeless.
Saturday was the Homeless Shelter Fundraiser event at the 14th Avenue Gospel Mission Church.
People got to enjoy live entertainment, activities for the kids and a corn hole tournament.
The church is raising money for the Latrobe Street Mission.
So far, they have raised about $2,000 for the homeless shelter.
"We've seen people holding signs, we've seen people live under bridges and the Latrobe Street Mission is bringing them off of the street into a very secure facility giving them food, giving them a warm place to stay and that's what our effort is. We're trying our very best to help with them," says 14th Avenue Gospel Mission Church Pastor, Tim Burch.
Members at the 14th Avenue Gospel Mission Church say they look forward to continue this fundraiser in the future.
One local church is reaching out to the Latrobe Street Mission by holding a fundraiser on Saturday in their honor.
14th Avenue Gospel Mission Church will be holding a Homeless Shelter Fundraiser Event.
There will be a silent auction, corn hole tournament and activities for the kids.
But most importantly, the church is raising money for the Latrobe Street Mission.
"The community we're serving isn't necessarily the most appealing part of the community, we deal with a lot of families but we also deal with a lot of drug addicts and alcoholics and we helped get them treatment. So it's really humbling that people in the community are reaching out that they're seeing a need in the community," says Latrobe Street Mission Executive Director and Founder, Shad Martin.
If you would like to make a donation or more information on the fundraiser, please call Kim Rittenhouse at 304-482-6044, Missy Lynch at 304-893-1007 or Candy Cain at 304-966-2496.

Draper Tools' is an independent, family-owned tools supply firm. Its skill set lies in its selection of quality tools, procurement, pack design, shipping, testing and quality control.
The company was started in 1919 by Bert Draper, who sold government surplus and tools from a hand barrow around the Kingston Upon Thames' markets. Later he purchased a warehouse, which laid the foundations for the company as it is today. Based in Hampshire, Drapers boasts the largest stock of tools in one place in the UK which is in keeping with the ethos of the founder, Bert, who was fond of saying "You can't sell nothing off an empty barrow".
Draper Tools specialises in a number of different areas, including Socket Sets, Agricultural Tools, Hydraulic equipment, Automotive Tools, Precision Engineering and general tools. The firm regularly wins awards, and its products are often recommended as 'best buy' recommendations in magazines such as 'Practical Classics, 'Auto Express, 'Practical Woodworking' and Car Mechanics.'
The firm is headed today by John Draper, the grandson of the founder. Whilst he is applying his drive and vision to take the company forward, he is also stays true to the past by sticking to golden rule of 'quality guaranteed'.

City to pay $75,000 to man who alleged SPD officer stepped on him after bar brawl
In a federal lawsuit, a Bellingham man alleged that his civil rights were violated when an off-duty Seattle police officer stepped on his head as he lay handcuffed on the ground.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The city of Seattle has agreed to pay $75,000 to a Bellingham man who alleged his civil rights were violated when an off-duty Seattle police officer stepped on his head as he lay prone and handcuffed.
The settlement resolved a federal lawsuit brought by Jake Baijot-Clary, stemming from a December 2010 fight outside the BalMar nightclub in Ballard.
The confrontation came to light at a time the Police Department was already under intense scrutiny over several high-profile incidents involving use of force, which ultimately led to a federal Department of Justice investigation that found Seattle police officers had regularly used excessive force.
As part of the settlement with Baijot-Clary, who is now 23, the city made no admission of wrongdoing on its part or by the officer, Garth Haynes. The settlement was finalized Wednesday, ending the suit without a trial.
"We want to commend the city for doing the right thing and giving some measure of justice to our client," said Seattle attorney Christopher Carney, who represented Baijot-Clary along with Maria Lorena Gonzalez and Shaun Van Eyk.
Haynes, whose action was captured on patrol-car video, was charged with misdemeanor assault as a result of the incident but was acquitted by a Seattle Municipal Court jury in March 2012.
Later, the Police Department determined Haynes had used excessive force on a detained and unresisting suspect. However, then-Police Chief John Diaz withheld a 10-day suspension if Haynes stayed out of trouble.
At the time of the incident, Baijot-Clary and two male friends came to the defense of a woman Haynes had accused of taking his jacket from inside the nightclub.
Haynes wound up in a fight with the three men, despite showing his badge and calling 911 for backup.
Officers arrived and placed Baijot-Clary and his companions in custody. Haynes then put his foot to Baijot-Clary's head as he lay face down on the sidewalk and pushed down.
During the criminal trial, Haynes' attorney argued that before stepping on Baijot-Clary, Haynes had been the victim of a brutal attack. The attorney also argued Haynes had suffered a concussion during the brawl that made it questionable whether the officer could form the required intent to commit a crime.
Although a medical report did not document a concussion, Haynes testified he had no memory of striking Baijot-Clary, and only learned what had occurred when he viewed the video the following day.
Felony charges of assaulting a police officer were dismissed against Baijot-Clary and his companions after prosecutors said Haynes asserted his Fifth Amendment right not to testify against the men.
In his suit, Baijot-Clary alleged violations of his civil rights, unreasonable use of force and complicity on the part of the Police Department.
According to the suit, Baijot-Clary remained silent and did not engage Haynes before Haynes walked up and "kicked Baijot-Clary in the head."
Baijot-Clary was unaware that Haynes, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was a police officer, according to the suit.
In its defense, the city argued the officer's "off-duty, heat of the moment reaction" just moments after being assaulted wasn't the result of any "custom or policy" of the city.
Nor was there evidence tying the incident to the alleged "pattern or practice" of excessive force detailed in the Justice Department finding made public in December 2011, city attorneys maintained in court documents.
The Justice Department's finding led to a landmark settlement agreement with the city in July 2012, producing sweeping reforms overseen by a federal judge.

Will chop Modi to pieces if he does a Gujarat here, says Cong candidate in divided Saharanpur
This is no ordinary election. It is an election of qayadat (leadership), wajood (identity) and waqar (self respect)," says Imran Masood, his voice hoarse, as he balances himself on the roof of a white Scorpio in village Harora, about 12 km out of Saharanpur town. The one-time MLA and nagarpalika chairman is the Congress candidate for this Lok Sabha election who has just hit the headlines because of his alleged hate speech against Narendra Modi.
He has been caught on tape purportedly telling an election meeting that Modi would have been "chopped in tiny pieces" if he dared to do a Gujarat (riots) in Uttar Pradesh. In a video, Masood appears to be saying, in the context of the Gujarat riots, that only 4 per cent of Gujarat's population was Muslim while here (in Saharanpur) Muslims were 42 per cent and they would teach Modi a lesson ("hum ladenge jo thhok ke jawab dena jaane"), and "boti kaat denge chhoti chhoti" (chop him into tiny pieces).
Masood wears the new notoriety casually, with pride even. "It is an old CD, from at least six months ago", he claims, speaking to The Indian Express as he now faces an FIR and questions from the Election Commission. "I had said 'kutti kat dena' which in these parts means to teach a lesson…It was a wrong choice of words, I agree." And then, aggressively again: "But will Modi say sorry for Gujarat? Only then will I apologise".
It has always been a personalised election in Saharanpur, where Imran's uncle, Rasheed Masood, won the Lok Sabha seat as many as five times — he is currently in jail after being indicted by a CBI court for his involvement in a medical admission scam while he was a health minister in the V.P. Singh government.
The Masood family is seen to have a powerful hold on the substantial "Muslim vote", about 41.5 per cent of the total electorate in Saharanpur, regardless of the party Rasheed Masood happens to be in.
But, many say, seldom has an election been as vicious and polarised as this one in Saharanpur. Rasheed Masood was careful to project a secular image and made it work for him too. In a political barter of sorts, he supported non-Muslim leaders for the Assembly polls in exchange for their and their community's support for him for the parliamentary elections.
It meant that even as Rasheed Masood virtually monopolised Saharanpur's Lok Sabha seat, non-Muslim MLAs were elected from its five general assembly seats over the last three decades — with only four exceptions.
This time, however, Modi's candidature for PM has dramatically altered the structure and tenor of the contest. It has put the BJP "in the fight" in Saharanpur, like in many of the seats in Western UP, after years on the sidelines. The last time continued…

HP unveils 2311x IPS LED-backlit monitor and two new LCD displays, starting at $140
HP is updating its line of displays and with the refresh comes HP's first couple of IPS (in-plane switching) monitors destined for the consumer market. The 2311x IPS monster has already been announced just over a month ago, but it's worth mentioning here along with the rest of HP's new consumer line up.
The 2311x is a 23-inch screen that features IPS technology which gives it a much better range of viewing angles than traditional LCD displays. Joining the 2311x is the 2011xi which is also an IPS monitor. The IPS panel allows this 20-inch monitor to have a 178* viewing angle and 1600x900 resolution. These start shipping on June 24 of this year.
HP is also updating their more traditional backlit LCD monitors. The W2071d is a 20-inch panel that supports resolutions up to 1600x900 and is backlit by LEDs. The big brother to that monitor is the W2371d which, as you probably guessed from the name, sports a 23-inch screen and resolutions of 1920x1080. Both feature VGA and DVI-D inputs. The 20-inch starts at $140 and the 23-inch, $200. No timeline for release yet.
ViewSonic stand at Computex has 4K screen on display, touch-screens on display and more
Computex 2012 - ViewSonic had a great floor showing off a bunch of screens, not just for consumers, but for business and enterprise. The first one we walked past was the ViewSonic EP5502 which is a 55-inch Full HD 1080p display with sleep tempered glass faceplate, a bunch of inputs (HDMI, VGA, YPbPr, USB) and can load images quite easily through its USB input.
Next to that was the widescreen EW2962 which again, is great for business and enterprise. It's much wider and would suite businesses such as restaurants, or train stations. It was great to see something like this in-person from ViewSonic. But, the true fun hasn't started just yet!
ViewSonic had a frameless 27-inch LCD sporting SuperClear IPS technology, backed up by its 1080p resolution and SRS Premium Sound integrated speakers. Featuring a 30,000,000:1 contrast ratio, it has a 7ms response time and features DVI, HDMI and RGB inputs.

ASUS gets into the WiDi mood with its unnamed Wireless Monitor
Computex 2012 - Whilst walking around the ASUS booth today out at the Nangang Computex hall, we ran into the ASUS Wireless Monitor. As far as we can tell, its just an early design at this stage and it hasn't been given a model name yet.
This monitor uses Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) technology to wirelessly stream content from another WiDi compatible device directly to the Wireless Monitor. Intel has been pushing WiDi for a couple of years now and while it hasn't gained massive market momentum, Intel keep pushing.
As far as the specs go, this monitor is 27-inches in size and supports a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080. It also features ASUS Smart Contract Ratio of 80,000,000:1, a response time of 1ms (gray to gray) and if you wish to not go down the wireless route, it still comes with a single DisplayPort input as well as two HDMI inputs. It also comes with two 2-watt stereo speakers.
We don't have any other details on this product at this stage, but it's something to watch.
UHDTV gets two specifications, UHDTV 4K and UHDTV 8K
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) have just become my new best friends as they have "agreed a draft new Recommendation on the technical details for 'Ultra High Definition Television'", but have decided something for UHDTV, that both 3840x2160 and future 7860x4320 screens keep the same UHDTV moniker.
While that sounds simplistic, it is confusing. Because 4K is not 8K, and vica versa, yet they share the same 'UHDTV' name. 4K sports eight megapixels, where 8K features an eye-busting 32 megapixels.
What are your thoughts on this? Why would they name UHDTV and jam both 4K and 8K standards into it? Why not have UHDTV 4K and UHDTV 8K? How hard would that be? Adopting two ultra-high def TV specs into a single moniker is just confusing, and annoying. "Hey, what UHDTV do you have?", "Oh, I have an HDTV". Hopefully this gets changed, but I highly doubt it will.
All I know is that I want an 8K TV, 8K games, 8K movies and TV shows, not tomorrow, but now.
RumorTT: Foxconn to begin trial production of Apple TV
Apple is a rumor machine. We have reported at least one other rumor today regarding Apple and they show no sign of slowing as rumored release dates approach. This latest rumor is in regards to Apple TV and about it starting to be produced. The latest rumor is saying that Foxconn is beginning a trial run of the Apple TV.
The iTV is reportedly being built at the Fuji Kang Longhua factory in Shenzhen. This rumor comes from sources quoted in the China Business News just after the Foxconn CEO had been "misquoted" as saying that Foxconn was preparing facilities to build the rumored iTV. Foxconn later denied that saying that the CEO was misquoted.
An analyst is predicting that an iTV would sell for between $1500-$2000 and would range in size from 42 to 55 inches. A trial run is not the same as general production. Often the quantity produced is minor and it is basically a proof-of-concept to check design specifications and quality control. Of course, this is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt.

IKEA's all-in-one Uppleva HDTV will retail for $960 in Europe next month, launches in the US in 2013
IKEA's Uppleva was shown off last month, and now we have some proper pricing, launch dates, and applications that will be built-in. The Uppleva launches next month, and will be available in sizes from 24- to 46-inches, while being priced "around $960", which should go up, as the screen size increases.
The Uppleva sports a built-in Blu-ray player, wireless subwoofer and is being assembled by TCL Multimedia, a manufacturer in China. The unit will rollout in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden beginning next month, then it will touch down in other European countries later in the year. It will jump the pond to the US sometime in 2013.
Uppleva will come with a bunch of applications, depending on your region, these include Dailymotion, Vimeo and YouTube, as well as games, music playback and video-on-demand apps, as well as the Opera for TV web browser.
LG's next-gen Google TV, sports motion control, dual-core CPU, 3D
LG's G2 series of Google TVs were unveiled at an event in New York City called Internet Week New York, the event is an annual shindig, where NYC celebrates technology and digital culture. VentureBeat spoke to Georg Rasinski, who is the director of LG's home electronics brand management.
LG's new Google TV sports the company's motion-control, "Magic Remote". The remote features gesture control, and even includes a built-in microphone for voice commands. On the back of the remote is a full QWERTY thumb keyboard. The TV's interface is said to look much different to previous GTC devices that VentureBeat have used from Sony and Logitech. LG have heavily customized the homescreen with a 3D interface.
From the user interface, you'll have quick access to a bunch of apps and bookmarks. The G2 series of LG Google TV's is powered by LG's custom ARM-based L9 processor, which is the first dual-core chip in a Google TV device. The L9 chip will eventually be baked into LG's other flagship sets, but it is making its debut here on the G2 series.
LG's G2 Series Google TVs will be made available in both 47- and 55-inch models beginning next week at $1,699 and $2,299 respectively.
Foxconn head honcho: we're making preparations for Apple iTV
We've all heard the rumors of Apple's TV for quite some time now, but it looks like the rumors are beginning to form something solid. The latest out of Foxconn is the company's chief Terry Hou saying that the company is making preparations for iTV.
iTV would be the name of Apple's upcoming high-def TV, but development and manufacturing is said to not yet have begun. iTV will reportedly sport an aluminum construction, Siri, and FaceTime for video calls. Gou also added that Foxconn's recent 50-50 joint venture factory with Sharp in Japan is one of the preparations made for the new device.
Hou, you're such a tease. That's all I'm going to add. Just days ago, Cult of Mac claimed to have actually seen an Apple HDTV prototype, where the sources claimed that it looked like Apple's current line-up of Cinema Displays, but much larger.
LG planning to produce "unbreakable" flexible OLED displays
When I think of OLED screens, I think of Samsung. Samsung pretty much has a chokehold on the market as far as OLED screens go. Now, however, Samsung's Korean competitor is planning to make OLED screens with a new production line. LG is actually using a completely different production process than Samsung which will allow the screens to be flexible.
Now, don't get too excited over this news. It's unlikely that we will be seeing flexible handheld devices anytime soon as the other portions of the device are still pretty rigid. However, this flexible screen is said to be thinner and more durable, "unbreakable," if you ask some people, and most importantly, less prone to damage from impact.
As such, these screens could still find their way into mobile devices pretty quickly. By switching to these screens, Corning Gorilla Glass would most likely no longer be necessary, which would reduce the weight of the device. The new production line has cost LG $176 million and should get the green light to start producing by the end of the year.

Traditional index exchange traded funds have helped investors access broad market segments, but most are market-cap weighted, for better or worse. Still, there are some ETF options that take an alternative approach to indexing.
For instance, the recently launched Forensic Accounting ETF (NYSEARCA:FLAG) utilizes a five-step approach in ranking each of the 500 companies of the S&P 500 based on earnings quality.
The ETF is part of a growing number of new strategy-based indices that mimics actively managed styles, but the ETF itself only passively reflects the "enhanced," "smart" or "intelligent" index.
In comparison, Will Ashworth for InvestorPlace describes the popular market cap-weighted ETFs as "faux diversification" with a simple bet on the top 10 holdings.
The FLAG ETF "red flags" companies with financial weakness, such as aggressive revenue recognition, inventory issues, reserve concerns, large changes in operation expenses, large changes in operation income and tax issues.
Stocks are weighted by earnings quality. Companies ranked the highest in earnings quality make up 40% of the index, whereas rank B, C, D earnings quality firms receive a 20% weighting. The 100 least promising stocks are disregarded from the index.
Specifically, the top holding is Avon Products (NYSE:AVP) at a 0.477% weighting - the company saw a 20% surge in stock price on better-than-expected earnings, followed by Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC) with a 0.458% weighting.
The closest comparison may be the WisdomTree Earnings 500 Fund (NYSEARCA:EPS), which uses a fundamental weighting methodology based on earnings momentum over the last four quarters, but it tracks the entire index.

Virginia Cohabitation RecordsEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
Virginia Cohabitation Records
The Cohabitation Records, offically titled, "Register of Colored Persons, Augusta County, State of Virginia, Cohabiting Together as Husband and Wife," are a record of free African American families living in Virginia immediately after the end of the Civil War. The records were created by the Freedmen's Bureau in an effort to document the marriages of formerly enslaved men and women that were legally recognized by an act of the Virginia Assembly in February 1866.

"It may be ending, but it will never be over."
That's the scary…er, poignant message of a just-released promo clip of the final season of MTV's scary…er, groundbreaking show, Jersey Shore (premiering Oct. 4 at 10 p.m. ET).
A camera swoops down on Seaside Heights and captures guidos and guidettes stoicly spouting the show's familiar catchphrases. "We're gonna go smush," deadpans one young woman. "It's T-shirt time," says a meaty young man. Then several serious-looking beach-goers recite the now-famous mantra. "Gym. Tan. Laundry."
A second promo is a sentimental look back at the drunken, lascivious behavior with which the cast has entertained fans for the past five seasons. Three-way kissing. Inebriated falls. Butt shots and boob shots and simulated sex. All to the forlorn strains of Boyz ll Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday."
Though Jersey Shore's ratings aren't what they used to be, the show is still MTV's most popular series. And as the first promo demonstrates, the show is still exerting an amusing influence on our culture. So why stop now? Because, says MTV programming executive vice president Chris Linn, it's time.
"The show started out as an authentic phenomenon of what occurs when young people get together to live in a summer shore house," he told TV Guide. "Over time your life starts to move on in ways that take you in different directions. They're changing and we've always wanted to be able to go out on a high note."
Viewers are left with the message that the final season is soon to begin. Get it while it lasts, people. Outrageously good things always come to an end.
