I've used the Perisan wool before with crewel projects. Usually, you still only use one ply, rather than all three, unless a very heavy stitch is called for.
Crewel is much easier than embroidery, because there aren't as many tiny stitches. It still requires great attention to detail, though, for the finished product to look like it's supposed to.
Persian wool can also be used for embroidery, depending on the project. If it's something that will be used a great deal, then the Persian wool might be the best choice, since it is a long wearing type of material.

I attended a community meeting this weekend in my hometown, Cincinnati. I was one of several hundred people who were supposed to give some thoughts on the comprehensive planning document the city is developing. It certainly is long overdue, as the last general plan is 25 years old and did not accomplish much. Cincinnati has all the problems of a former industrial city, though it is not in as bad of shape as its sisters to the north. Partially, this is the result of geography; the city's many hills and dales helps foster identity and variety, and its lush greenery hides—at least in the summer—much ill. Cincinnati also is economically more diversified that most of the rustbelt cities. It is home to P&G, Kroger, and Macy's, to name just the most well-known corporations clustered in its still-viable downtown. But what will it become? What is any American city going to be in this century? Like all urban cores, Cincinnati is sprawling: since 1960 it has lost 40 percent of its population, while the metropolitan area has doubled and, after Dayton is included in the 2010 census, will encompass well over 2 million people. Most of them do not live within comfortable driving distance of downtown and have little reason to go there. Moreover, Cincinnati is competing with countless other cities for investment and jobs, and may lose several of its large corporations—as have Pittsburgh and Cleveland, for instance. What the city has going for it is art and landscape. That might sound self-serving as the director of our art museum, but there are few, if any cities in this country that can match the Queen City with a top orchestra, several art museums, a good opera and theater company, and oddites such as our annual May Festival choral event. At the University of Cincinnati, the best schools, according to national rankings, are those of music and design. You can even connect this focus on creativity on what the city's large corporations do best, namely package and sell products and images. As for the landscape, this is where the glaciers that scoured the Midwest flat ended and melted into what is now the Ohio River, leaving a varied terrain looking toward the sylvan splendors of Kentucky. The geology helps make this into a distinctive place. So, what can planning do to build on those strengths? I believe the city should be investing in iconic attractors located strategically around this sprawling landscape. These could be visual and performing arts centers, schools (whether charter or not I leave to others for the moment), or recreational facilities, and they should be scaled from the regional or national to the local. This being a conservative city, the focus right now is on renovation of existing and often mediocre structures, while the city should be building for the future. It should connect these attractors with a strong public transportation system mimicking the old streetcar system that ran up and down the hills and valleys, but extending out into the furthest reaches of sprawl. It should promote transit-oriented development along these lines and coordinate them with the cultural and educational anchors. Parallel to this network, and intertwined with it, Cincinnati should further develop its already excellent park system. There have been several plans to do so, and new parks have appeared on the river here, but these green fingers must be larger in scale and more continuous. One thing the city does not need is to focus all of its energy on downtown. That has become the control center for the region, a home to headquarters and government. It also has become an entertainment center filled with bars and restaurants. Build on that; do not try to turn it back into the integrated urban core it was 50 years ago. The recipe is standard for our current urban situation in the United States: attract, frame, connect, and collect, all by building with, rather than on, the land. Acknowledge sprawl and make it work. Invest in the institutions that make the place work and make it worth being here. Every city in America should be doing this, though few are. They claim not to be able to afford to do so (there is an especially venal anti-tax movement in Cincinnati), not to want to and not to have the necessary unified reach (Cincinnati as a city is only a small part of the region). My answer is that we cannot afford not to rebuild our cities. Otherwise, they will crumble around us, and 50 years from now Cincinnati will, like some of its northern counterparts, be a ghost town.
The link for Cincinnati's comprehensive plan is incorrect. Should be www.plancincinnati.org.

Thank you Aaron for taking the time to approach Cincinnati's strategy from the perspective of an art enthusiast. That level of culture can definitely be a catalyst, especially when its edgy and forward-thinking. I do think that downtown is heading in the right direction with its mix of uses and increase in housing stock suitable for urban loving professionals. I hope the new casino development follows your advice and sets a high benchmark for innovative design so that it also can become a new iconic attractor!
This insightful analysis of Cincinnati is an example of what is likely needed in many other similar-sized midwestern cities which have a heritage of 19th and 20th century industry and commerce. The by-product of this heritage was a great collection of parks, grand urban neighborhoods and noteworthy architecture. That was then and this is now - I believe Aaron is right-on about the transit needs and the associated need for "iconic attractors", preferrably along those routes, spawning truly mixed-use TOD's. The Cincinnati of our days at DAAP (I was there with Aaron) has not kept up with the infrastructure needs of today and I think Dr. Betsky has the right prescription to bring it back to good health. KUDO's.
I have not been downtown Cincy since the Hadid building was under construction, but I remember it as a nice, clean environment. The City and University have done their part in attracting big name Architects, and as we see, more has to be done than that. One of the things I was flustered by is the amount of sky-bridges. We know by now that these can kill a city, especially one that is not nearly as bad of a climate region as the before mentioned northern cities. I suspect Cincinnati, as is the case with most mid-sized cities these days, is lacking in mixed use/housing. You then get into a battle of chicken or the egg with housing or amenities, and in this case I believe that you have a strong argument for landscape development.

Opting out of some forums?
Just wondering, has any thought been given to the idea of being able to opt out of certain forums in searches and update notifications, etc.? With the increase in language-specific forums, it would be nice to be able to flag them so they don't show up in the global list.
(Not that I don't want to be involved, it's just that I'm not that much of a polyglot :-) )
8 replies
Hi mlong,
this is a very good idea. could you create a JIRA [bugreports.qt.nokia.com] issue for that and post the link here and there please?
We definitely have this feature request in the wish list – but it requires that the forum software vendor makes it. So it's out of our hands for now, the Q&A-type forum features will come first.
Previous discussion on this topic:
Hi, I was also looking for a solution to opt out some grand topics. When this is possible, could it be possible to divide General and Desktop topic to: General, Desktop, QWidgets, or only General, QWidgets/Desktop. I'm a mobile developer, and very rarely use QWidgets anymore, so it would be nice to opt out from them, but still receive the "General" part mostly including things from QtCore which is still very important to me :)

Travel destinations with remarkable cuisine
You'd have to have a pretty conservative and obstinate stomach in order to be able to travel without indulging in the offer of local dishes and delicacies. Food and food preparation is a huge part of most cultures, and sticking only to dishes that are 'international' or familiar to the palate would mean that you are missing out on an essential part of the travel experiences. And while most travelers are happy to enjoy the local fare as a bonus to seeing amazing new places, there are more than enough travel destinations that are worth visiting based on their cuisine alone. And if you're worried that you won't have much to do except to stuff yourself in these destinations, don't worry, they all have more than their fare share of sights as well. Here are a few travel destinations with remarkable cuisine that is reason enough to visit them. …

A guide to Philippine cuisine
The Philippines is a bewildering place which for many travelers is still a mystery, a large blank chunk on the map. The second largest archipelago in the world contains no less than 7000 islands, and to visit all of them could be a lifetime's endeavor. There's a whole lot of Philippines to see, which is all the more reason to see it, or taste it – after all, one of the ways to get to know a country is through its cuisine. Philippine cuisine is one of the least spicy cuisines in Asia, but it is far from bland! The most common meals in the Philippines have their roots in various Asian, European and indigenous recipes and styles of cooking, which makes them truly unique. For the hungry traveler in the Philippines, here's a guide to Philippine cuisine.
Although initially a dish of the Northern Philippines, commonly eaten by the Ilocano people, pinakbet is so good that it spread all over the islands and you can find it mostly anywhere. This stew-like dish is made with loads of veggies (bitter melon, eggplant, tomato, okra, string beans, chili peppers, parda, winged beans to count only a few). It is considered really healthy, and a symbol of Ilocano culture.
If you're in Philippine during the Christmas season, you'll be seeing a lot of Bibingka, a typical Christmas dish. Bibinkga comes in countless regional variations, but most cake bases are made with rice flour and coconut milk, baked in banana leaves. Some types of Bibingka might seem strange for western palates, for example the popular Bibingka Galapong, served with grated cheese and salted duck's eggs.
Vegetarians and meat-eaters with delicate constitutions will probably run away at the sight of Dinuguan, a popular Philippine dish made with…pig's blood. Dinuguan is also called chocolate meat, because it looks similar to a pot of melted chocolate, but this stew is actually made with pig's blood, meat, and pig innards, well seasoned with spices.
If the Philippines should have a national dish, then it most certainly is adobo. Adobo is actually an indigenous cooking technique, which involves stewing the ingredients in vinegar. The most common types of adobo are pork, chicken or a combination thereof, served with rice both at feasts and regular meals. Adobo is so popular that you can find all sorts of snacks and nibbles that are adobo-flavored, without them having any connection to adobo.
If you're attending a Philippine fiesta, you're bound to encounter kare-kare, one of the traditional party dishes in the Philippines. The prime ingredient of this stew is oxtail, ox tripe, peanuts, rice and vegetables like eggplants, string beans, cabbage and banana flower buds. The usual accompaniment for kare-kare is bagoong, dollops of shrimp paste.

Turkey is located at the crossroads of the East and the West, and it has one of the riches and most interesting histories in the world, one dotted with victories, defeats, battles and legendary figures.

Here are 5 delights of Turkish cuisine that not even the pickiest traveler can ignore. …

I Love Sex, But That Doesn't Mean I'm Easy
By Rachel Khona
But it's not just Ania or her gross friend. It's society-at-large, the random guys who stumble upon something I've written and think that guarantees them a chance, or a guy I go out with who thinks he'll score because I let it slip that I've written about sex.
So, why the disconnect? Why is female sexual enjoyment still connected with a lack of discernment? I, for one, am quite choosy. I prefer guys who are tall and fit, and I have a predilection for manly men. I like guys that know how to treat me like a lady, whether it be for one night or several. So, why did my friend think I wanted to bang her short, scrawny friend in the bad polyester shirt? It wasn't as though I was Tucker Max just looking to screw anything in sight.
As sex educator and author of Getting Off: A Woman's Guide to Masturbation, Jayme Waxman explained to me, "I think that people assume if you talk about sex, you're less discriminating about who you have sex with—and that's just not the case." Is Solo Sex The Key To The Female Orgasm?
She's right. That's like saying a foodie will eat at McDonald's. Or a fashionista will shop at Kmart. I love high heels, but it doesn't mean I'm going to wear clear acrylic stripper heels from Trashy Lingerie just because they're on sale. It's all Stella McCartney here, thank you very much.
"Because our society still has a difficult time talking about sex, when a woman does, it's easy for someone to think she must be open and available. Often she is open and available to TALK about sex, but not to have it with everyone," Waxman continues.
She's right. The misconceptions surrounding women who are having a lot of sex are still alive and well. When the now infamous Lena Chen started blogging about her sex life as an undergrad at Harvard, the assumptions hurled at her came quickly and furiously. Haters called her a "slut" and "whore" for simply talking about something everyone does. Harvard's Sex Blogger On Sex And The Spotlight
"They [the haters] predicted that my boyfriend would leave me after getting tired of my "gaping" and "diseased" "cunt," and three years later we're still together… Well, guess what? This slut broke every single rule, didn't get her life ruined, and realized that there's not so much to be afraid of in the Big Bad World after all," she says on her blog The Ch!cktionary.

From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
I'm this close to selling my iPad 2 and getting an iPad Mini.
I take it a few of you have done this. Was it 'really' worth it? I'm still on the fence, but if I switch I'll get a 32GB at least. Currently I only have a 16GB iPad 2. -
From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
Made the leap my self and haven't regretted it. U can notice the picture size a bit when ur watching a movie but for me at least that went away after a few times. Love the portability of it compared to the iPad 2. I think you'll definitely like it and not regret the move either. Good luck.

I went from a 3 to a mini, absolutely love it , it's more comfortable in size to hold, I find it more personal than a larger sized iPad. Go for it bud ;-)
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
Picked up a 64GB Mini and sold my 16GB iPad 2 to the Best Buy sales guy who sold me the Mini. Love, Love LOVE the Mini. It's what the iPad should have been from the start. You won't regret it.
From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
Yep, the iPad mini is perfect to me. This is definitely the size that the iPad should've been. I take this thing everywhere, including the grocery store...and I don't feel like a tool when I bust it out. I really don't notice the resolution difference and think its just something for technophiles to argue over.
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
I've never owned the 2, but my mother has it and I prefer my mini hands down. Camera is light years better than the ipad 2 and I find typing a pleasure in the mini in either position. It's so light I find that I take it everywhere with me even if I don't need it with me. (Something that I need to break myself of.)
Speaking of the camera, I don't feel like such a tool pulling it out in public to snap a few shots because it it just so small and portable. Battery life is stellar too. I only charge it every other day and I'm on it a lot. My mini has become my on the go tablet and my BlackBerry PlayBook has become my laptop. Both are portable as heck, but as this is the newer device, the battery will go longer.
I would dump an iPad 2 for an iPad mini any day of the week. - 01-14-2013, 09:59 PM Thread Author #8

Thanks for all the tips and points. My other question is do most of you have the wifi model or the 3G model?
Sent via iMore app on iPad 2... - 01-14-2013, 10:44 PM #9
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
I don't think you mentioned what you will mainly use it for. If you do much typing w/o an external keyboard, I think the mini would be a problem. I haven't had much time on one yet, but my friend has both. He types on the iPad 3 more like he would on a normal keyboard and his speed is pretty good. He says that with the mini, it's more like his iPhone in that he types with two fingers or his thumbs... which makes for much slower input. If it wasn't for that, I'd have gotten one already, as well, to replace my iPad 2. But, I just do too much typing on the virtual keyboard for it to make sense for me at this point. For web surfing, reading e-books, and apps where you don't need really fine UI input, I think it would be perfect.
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
4-6months expect the Retina Display Ipad Mini with the same price as of now. If you can wait, I prefer waiting the Retina Mini. Ipad 2 still works smoothly but not that portable because of the size. But it depends upon your use. If the weight isn't a big deal, go with Ipad3 or Ipad4, and If Retina isn't necessary for you The IpadMini upgrade from an Ipad2 is suitable for you.
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
WiFi only. I'm almost always in WiFi, and when I'm not I have a Verizon MiFi.
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
That was my biggest concern also. I find typing on the keyboard in landscape mode is almost the same if not better than with the bigger iPad. Tell you friend to at least try to type in landscape mode and he will see how easy it is. I love the mini. But I am coming from an iPad first generation so this is a major improvement.
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
I also have an iPad 1st generation but like you, I love the mini. No, I don't own a mini yet but held it and used it a bit at the store. The size is perfect, another big win for Apple when it comes to getting the size right on a tablet. Too bad I can't justify buying one now but that's good because whenever I get some extra cash then maybe a newer mini will be out
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
Switched from 16gb iPad 2 wifi to 32gb mini with cellular lte and have no regrets. Perfect size for everything. Easier to haul around and was able to get more GBs and LTE for the money

Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
I really need to get one side by side with my iPad2, but wouldn't a mini in landscape be pretty close to the iPad 2 in portrait as far as the virtual keyboard size? If that is the case, then I think I'd disagree with my friend that typing would be as slow as with an iPhone, but certainly not as fast as I can go in landscape on my iPad 2. It is more, IMO, than just bigger targets, but it's also close enough to a standard keyboard that muscle-memory from normal typing helps. I suppose if you ONLY typed on the mini, you could eventually get pretty fast, as there seems to be enough space to actually use all your fingers... just barely for me though (well, at least on my iPad2 in portrait).
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
I'd second this. Other than a phone or very specific applications, I tend to not want cellular built-in. Apart from the initial cost difference, you're locked to that standard and have to have another data plan, etc. I'd rather use a MiFi type device or tethering from a phone for all my devices than having individual cellular in each. I guess there is a convenience factor to having it... but just be sure to weigh that against the costs.
Re: From an iPad 2 to an iPad Mini
I also tried tethering from my i5. Battery life while tethering from my i5 was horrendous. Then I knew I must have a LTE model. The extra $130 was so worth it. I added the mini onto my phone plan for $10 extra and now I use my mini for a LTE hotspot for anything I need and get stellar tethering battery life.
Also, how much does it cost monthly for a MiFi? - 01-17-2013, 04:17 AM #22

2014 Tesla Model S
- 2013 Tesla Model S
- Used Tesla Model S
Tesla Model S Review
The 2014 Tesla Model S ranks 2 out of 9 Super Luxury Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Tesla Model S, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Tesla Model S is ranked:
- #2 in Super Luxury Cars
- #1 in Hybrid Luxury
With its responsive powertrain and high-tech interior, reviewers agree that the 2014 Tesla Model S excels as both an electric vehicle and a luxury car.
Reviewers agree that the all-electric Tesla Model S delivers immediate power from a stop and instantaneous acceleration that few cars can match on the highway. Some say the Model S is exceptionally quiet at speed, and feels quicker than many luxury sports cars. The base Model S gets 94/97 mpg-equivalent city/highway, and has a 208-mile range. Reviewers report that the Tesla Model S has strong brakes and quick steering. They also praise its smooth ride and nimble handling, especially when equipped with an adjustable air suspension.
Most critics write that the 2014 Tesla Model S has an interior that's appropriate for the class, though some say that certain materials don't match what is offered in luxury rivals. The Model S has a lot of cargo space for the class, and reviewers say it has spacious front seats, though some note that the rear seats could use more headroom. The 2014 Tesla Model S comes standard with a 17-inch touch screen that provides access to most vehicle settings, and auto writers praise its large display and straightforward operation. Other standard features include a rearview camera, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, Wi-Fi capability and a seven-speaker audio system. Available features include navigation, a glass panoramic roof, leather upholstery and two rear-facing jump seats that increase seating capacity to seven.
- "As one of the most desirable electric cars available today, the 2014 Tesla Model S is also one of the best luxury sedans, too." -- Edmunds
- "The new platform allows for maximized efficiency, five passengers, lots of cargo, high performance, and an extended driving range." -- Kelley Blue Book
- "As an all-electric luxury sedan with ample range and performance that rivals or surpass conventionally-powered models, the Model S has no true rivals." -- Left Lane News
- "It's attractive, comfortable, fast, practical, technically fascinating, and not overpriced. Most important, it's not just a good electric vehicle, it's a good car." -- Car and Driver (2013)
Other Cars to Consider
The plug-in Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid can run on electricity alone, as well as gasoline for more power and extended range. In addition, reviewers say the Panamera S E-Hybrid offers an attractive cabin and athletic handling.
The diesel-powered Audi A7 TDI comes standard with all-wheel drive and gets outstanding fuel economy for a super luxury car. It also has a lot of cargo space, and reviewers love its luxurious interior.
Compare the Model S, Panamera S E-Hybrid and A7 »
Details: 2014 Tesla Model S
The 2014 Tesla Model S seats five (or seven with optional cargo area jump seats) and has rear-wheel-drive. An electric motor and a single-speed transmission are standard. The Model S comes in 60, 85 and P85 trims. The Model S debuted for the 2012 model year and sees few changes for 2014. As a result, this overview uses applicable research and reviews from 2012, 2013 and the 2014 model year.

Regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins that contain DEP (disheveled, EGL-10, pleckstrin) and GGL (G protein gamma subunit-like) domains form a subfamily that includes the mammalian RGS proteins RGS6, RGS7, RGS9, and RGS11. We describe the cloning of RGS6 cDNA, the specificity of interaction of RGS6 and RGS7 with G protein beta subunits, and certain biochemical properties of RGS6/beta5 and RGS7/beta5 complexes. After expression in Sf9 cells, complexes of both RGS6 and RGS7 with the Gbeta5 subunit (but not Gbetas 1-4) are found in the cytosol. When purified, these complexes are similar to RGS11/beta5 in that they act as GTPase-activating proteins specifically toward Galpha(o). Unlike conventional G(betagamma) complexes, RGS6/beta5 and RGS7/beta5 do not form heterotrimeric complexes with either Galpha(o)-GDP or Galpha(q)-GDP. Neither RGS6/beta5 nor RGS7/beta5 altered the activity of adenylyl cyclases types I, II, or V, nor were they able to activate either phospholipase C-beta1 or -beta2. However, the RGS/beta5 complexes inhibited beta(1)gamma(2)-mediated activation of phospholipase C-beta2. RGS/beta5 complexes may contribute to the selectivity of signal transduction initiated by receptors coupled to G(i) and G(o) by binding to phospholipase C and stimulating the GTPase activity of Galpha(o).

Moveon.Org is calling for President Bush to send troops into Sudan:
On Sunday, tens of thousands of concerned Americans will gather at the Save Darfur rally in Washington DC to demand that Congress and President Bush call for a real United Nations peacekeeping force to protect civilians and stop the genocide — now.
George Clooney is complaining that the U.S. is waiting too long to send troops into Sudan:
"Is the American government slow to act? Of course we're slow to act, we always are," Clooney said…
And here is a picture from the "antiwar" protest this weekend in New York City:
So now they want to send troops into an oil-rich, predominantly Muslim country, with suspected ties to al-Qaida and WMDs, that's experiencing genocide?
How very chicken-hawkish of them.
Update: NY Sun:
We'd be remiss, however, if we didn't say that we also hope that the Darfur rally yesterday helps to illuminate the hypocrisy of some of those on the left. They want military action now to oppose a genocidal regime in Sudan and to protect its victims. Yet they opposed military action in Iraq to oust a regime, in that of Saddam Hussein, that had engaged in ethnic cleansing of Iraqi Kurds and Shiites and had rained scud missiles on Israeli cities.
This Darfur double standard was underscored by the list of announced speakers for yesterday's "Save Darfur" rally. They included at least three members of Congress - Nancy Pelosi, Donald Payne, and Michael Capuano - who voted against the liberation of Iraq. Mr. Payne, a Democrat of New Jersey, has reportedly gone so far as to say of the Iraq war, "I have never seen such a misuse of our power." Ms. Pelosi, a Californian who is the Democratic leader in the House, has endorsed Rep. John Murtha's demand for an immediate American withdrawal from Iraq.
The scheduled speakers at yesterday's Save Darfur rally also included the Reverend Al Sharpton and the Democrat who lost in 1997 to Mayor Giuliani, Ruth Messinger. Rev. Sharpton and Ms. Messinger have marched against the Iraq war in New York behind the banner of United for Peace and Justice, an anti-Israel front group whose steering committee includes a representative of the Communist Party USA.
Just to underscore the double standard, Rev. Sharpton reportedly marched against the Iraq war in New York on Saturday, then marched in Washington on Sunday for more intervention in Sudan. Even worse, the Saturday march was organized by United for Peace and Justice, which has moved well beyond opposing the Iraq war. It now opposes any American action against Iran. "United for Peace and Justice opposes any military action against Iran, as well as covert action and sanctions," the organization's Web site says. The site includes letters for activists to send to Congress, saying, "Iran does not present a threat to the United States" and calling for taking away Israel's nuclear weapons.
Michelle reminds us to not question their "patriotism".

The J. Richard Waggener Family Home PageUpdated July 2, 2010 |
Rick Waggener Walnut Creek, California A-United States firstname.lastname@example.com |
Edit Your Page |
I am researching a number of different ancestral family lines, including my own surname, WAGGENER. My particular branch of the WAGGENER family seems to have come from England to Virginia (Essex County [1660's], to Spotsylvania County [1750's], to Culpeper County [1760's]), and later emigrated to Kentucky (Todd and Jefferson Counties [1820's]), to Jefferson County, Missouri [1840's], and then to Wayne and Oakland Counties, Michigan [1910's]. I grew up in Royal Oak, Oakland County, Michigan. One of my main goals is to try to gather a comprehensive database of the descendants of JOHN (1643-1716) and RACHEL (1653-1718) WAGGENER, the most distant ancestors in this line. Other lines of my father's family that I am working on include the GARNETT family, also from England to Virginia (Glouchester County [1650's], to Essex County [1690's], to Culpeper County [1740's]). Also, the KENNER family, England to Virginia (Northumberland [1630's] and Westmoreland [1720's] Counties), to Hawkins County, Tennessee [1770's], to Ste. Genevieve County [1800's], Missouri. Also, the SWINK family which came through Fairfax County, Virginia [1770's], to Franklin County [1820's], Tennessee, to Ste. Genevieve [1830's] and Jefferson [1870's] Counties, Missouri. Also the MCMANUS, MURPHY, and WARD families, which came from Ireland to Pennsylvania [1820's], and to Monroe County [1830's], Michigan. Also the HENDERSON family, which came from Scotland to Colchester County, Nova Scotia [late 1700's], then to Monroe County, Michigan [1880's]. Also the TOWLES family, which came from England [1680's], to Virginia. Some of the lines of my mother's family include the STURMAN family, which came from England to Wayne County, Michigan [1870's]. Also the KNECHTGES and STEFFES families, which moved from Germany to Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin [1840's], then later to Houghton County, Michigan [1870's]. Also the MCLEOD family, which seems to have come from Scotland to Ontario, Canada [1860's], then to Houghton County, Michigan [1880's]. Some of the family names that I am working on for my wife Karin's family include: the SHAMP family; the ALD (or AULD) family, which came from Germany to Illinois [1840's]; the LING family, which came from Germany to Pennsylvania [1790's]; the DUNHAM (SINGLETARY) family, which came from England to Massachusetts [1630's]; the PARTRIDGE family; the CHESEBOROUGH family, which came from England to Massachusetts [1630's]; the WAYMAN family; the BIGLEY family; the HOOT family, the HUFFMAN family, and the GHOST family. I have attempted to include as much information as possible in the attached reports. I have included my daughter Chelsea's ancestral report, which of course includes the ancestral reports of my wife Karin and myself. I also have the descendant reports of John Waggener, John Garnett, and Johann Knechtges; three of the bigger lines that I have worked on. I also have the report that includes all the names in my program. I am looking for any additional descendant and/or ancestral information, and would be happy to share any additional information that I have. I use Family Tree Maker software (currently version 10.0) and the easiest way to send or receive information is to do in either the FTM or GEDCOM formats. I try to keep this information current with any additions or changes that I seem to be constantly making. I have added a number of photos of my family and what I think are interesting items. I always enjoy hearing from "cousins," no matter how close or distant you may be. |

Alerce Mountain Lodge, Alerce Andino National Park $$$$
Alerce Andino National Park
Tel: 56 65 286969
Concierge.com's insider take:
Many Patagonian lodges fall within the hard-to-get-to-but-utterly-worth-it category, including this one, set on the border of a national park named for the 4,000-year-old redwoodlike alerce trees. But while its location may qualify as the Unabomber's ultimate fantasy, it's actually (relatively) easy to access. It's 90 minutes by off-road vehicle from Puerto Montt, the unofficial gateway to Patagoniaso if you only have a few days in the area (shame on you!), this is the place. It's still not easy: The roads are bumpy and the final stretch is on a raft across a small lake. The main structure, with six rooms, is constructed from the same 240-foot alerces you'll see outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and public areas are warmed by a converted steam-train furnace. Three outlying cabins are connected by a network of catwalksguests stutter-step to the main house for meals. You'll need at least two nights to make it worthwhile, but your days will be spent hiking past waterfalls to peaks carpeted with coigüe and mañío trees, or driving down to a nearby rodeo for a rowdy get-together with Chile's huaso cowboys (OctoberApril). The chef produces inventive local fare; the guides are knowledgeable and entertaining; and sore muscles can be rejuvenated in the sauna and hot tub.

This past week and leading into the weekend, the action at the Solheim Cup had the hallmarks of a New Years Eve celebration - a global audience anxiously awaiting for the ball to drop (albeit a golf ball), some spectacular fireworks in the form of clutch putts and unbelievable shots, and a few bottles of celebratory champagne for Team Europe.In their quest to retain the Solheim Cup, Team Europe made event history by capturing their first victory on American soil and Titleist golf ball loyalist Caroline Hedwall (Pro V1) achieved another Solheim first by compiling a 5-0-0 record in competition.Among the 24 players in competition, 16 relied on a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success, more than five times the nearest competitor with three and more than all other competitors combined. And of the 12 victorious players in blue and gold, 9 relied on a Titleist golf ball.Rounding out the action from this past weekend on the worldwide professional tours, Titleist Brand Ambassador Peter Malnati (Web.com Tour) along with Pro V1x loyalist Bart Bryant (Champions Tour) and Pro V1x loyalist HyungTae Kim (Korean PGA Tour) found the winners circle.Titleist golf ball players have now won 93 time on the worldwide professional tours in 2013.Check out the Team Titleist recap below for some quick highlights from this past weekend's wins.

PGA TOUR: Wyndham Championship
Posted: August 16, 2013
Sure, this week's Wyndham Championship isn't a major, but there is certainly a lot on the line for the 156 players in the field.
The Wyndham Championship represents the final regular season event of the 2013 PGA Tour season and the final chance for players to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs, which kick off next week. Players will also be vying to move up the rankings to lock in a 2014 Tour Card and hopefully put an exclamation point on their 2013 campaigns.
So, among the field of 156 players at Sedgefield Country Club this week, 100 will put their trust in a Titleist Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball. That's more than 4 times the nearest competitor with 23 and more than all other competitors combined.
Titleist was also the top choice of players in the sand, lob and approach wedge (156) and putter (61) category.
Be sure to check out the photo gallery above to see what Titleist Brand Ambassadors Morgan Hoffmann, Matt Jones, Jason Bohn, Will Claxton, Brad Fritsch, Ben Kohles and more were up to earlier in the week.

Already a landmark annual event for the best amateurs from around the world, the playing of the 2013 U.S. Amateur Championship has a bit more historical context for the competitors this year at The Country Club at Brookline.You see, it is the same course where a 20-year old named Francis Ouimet, one of the game's most legendary amateurs, made his epic charge to a U.S. Open championship exactly 100 years ago this September.In the field of 312 golfers looking to take top amateur honors this year, 246 players are trusting Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls for their success, more than six times the nearest competitor with 38 and more than three times all competitors combined.Titleist also leads the field across all major club categories including drivers (113), fairway metals and hybrids (195), iron sets (123), approach, sand and lob wedges (410) and putters (114).As the week unfolds and the competition moves from medal play to match play, one amateur will stand atop the field on Sunday and add his name to the record books at the historic Country Club.• • •The U.S. Amateur Championship is just one of several marquee national amateur events where the top competitive amateur players in the world put their trust in Titleist. Throughout the year, Titleist has proven to be the golf ball of choice at these prestigious events:

Some days on the greens you have the line, but you don't have the speed. Half the equation won't cut it on the PGA Tour and it certainly won't help you beat your buddies.
So, Titleist Brand Ambassador Matteo Manassero is here to help you with your pace on the greens in this week's Tip From the Tour.
In the video, Manny plays a game of "5" to isolate speed on the greens. Try this game in your next practice session, and get your speed under control for the next time you hit the course.

this does not hold a 17 inch laptop in the protective sleeve, you can put the laptop in the outer pocket, but there is little protection, so for that I am very disappointed.the bag has many pockets and easy accessI just I knew before I got it that it didn't hold the 17 inch laptop as it said it would~
The Calpak product is nice looking but not worth it. Overstock accepted the return because the inner zipper was never sewn on correctly. There plastic end to zipper was not there so the whole interior came out. I thought it might just be me so I ordered it again -- wrong-- Again the zipper was not completed and the whole interior came out again. Run don't walk away from this product!
I purchased this item based on 2 criteria. I owned an older Calpak backpack that was very well made. I needed a rolling backpack with a laptop compartment. There was no detailed picture or description of the laptop compartment at Overstock or the Calpak site or any other website picture but I took a chance based on the quality of the Calpak name. The laptop compartment was removable and attached only with limited velcro patches. When removed the main compartment of the laptop was not well lined and the inside-back of the backpack exposed. I wanted a laptop compartment that was sewed into the structure of the item. This was not it and I could not justify the way the item was designed for what I needed. A photo of the inside of the item or a better description of the laptop compartment would have helped which I later found for another brand.
After many hours searching for an appropriately sized rolling laptop case and an unsuccessful attempt with another product I finally found a suitable way to transport my 17 inch laptop withour having to carry it through airports. This rolling case has a large enough, padded slot for my laptop as well as room for accessories and clothes for a weekend trip all in an attractive, easy to handle carry-on.
excellent pocket design, especially for the laptop. let down by cheap, noisy wheels. Postage expensive.
I'm pleased with this purchase. It is very good quality and has all the features I was looking for. i got the lime green and I'm very happy with the color. Bright and fun. However, you won't be able to fit a very big laptop in this bag. My 15-inch barely fits.
I've been to Asia with this pack. For an 18 inch pack, it held a nice amount of clothing, shoes, books, snacks, misc stuff, in case my checked luggage was lost. Smooth quiet in-line wheels, nice front organized section, strong single retractable handle, nice zippers with pulls. I like how the backpack straps press against the back and zip in under a flap. If carrying on your back the same flap zips open and attaches so the wheels are covered. My older laptop fits into the padded computer compartment, a newer wide screen would not. For under the seat, if not filled heavily, I could slide the top in first but the wheel base would not go completely under, however the pack seemed to be out of the way enough. This took foot space so I would not want to travel a long flight with it under the seat. The brown color was darker than the photo, less contrast between the black and brown than expected. Overall it is light weight and solid.

UN Finds Human Rights Violations by Syria Opposition
Posted By yihan On April 18, 2012 @ 9:15 am In World News | Comments Disabled
Wednesday, April 18, 2012
A UN commission has found serious human rights violations have been committed by Syria's opposition movement, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said on his Twitter microblog on Wednesday.
"The chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria acknowledged that the opposition is also responsible for serious violations," Gatilov wrote in his microblog.
The commission, established by the Human Rights Council in September to investigate all alleged violations of international human rights law since March 2011 in Syria, is led by UN human rights expert Paulo Pinheiro.
Pinheiro previously warned against arming the Syrian opposition and said that "further militarization will contribute to escalation to full-fledged civil war." He cited the Commissions second report which concluded that "the only solution is a negotiated settlement."

Aspects of text
Choosing the right font for the job! Designers spend a large portion of their work time contemplating the aspects of text and/or font. In order to help understand the importance of font, ask yourself "What differences are there between the font and text of professional designs as opposed to low quality work?". Answer number one? Size. Size of font is a direct variation to attention. As a rule of thumb, body text should never be over 16 pixels. Now, this may not be the case 100% of the time, but who wants to have to scroll 3 or 4 times to read a small paragraph? As stated above, size relates to importance in the web design world. The title or header may range anywhere from 20 pixels to generally 28 pixels. This is an appropriate size for the title because it is noticeable, yet not overly distracting or taking away from the overall view. Keep font categories the same. What I mean by this is, don't have one paragraph with a size of 14 pixels, while another is 12 pixels. Decide on a font size that will stay constant throughout the design. Take a look at this site. Notice the title has the largest font on the page. The sub-titles both share the same features: all-capitalized, large size (but smaller than the main title), orange, and a light gray underline that spans to the end of it's container. Body text is dark grey and smaller in size than both the title and sub-titles. Links are the same size as the body text, but are blue in color to stand out. All of this helps to create consistency throughout the content. Answer number two? Color. Colors have always been linked to emotions. The color of text on a website can register many feelings within our bodies. For example, certain colors release calming chemicals. Large amounts of black indicate authority and power, and even evil. On the opposite spectrum, white is synonymous with purity, safety and neutrality. Often associated with death, taxes or depression, gray may sway your visitors to feel nothing. The color of movement and excitement, is obviously red. Red is attention grabbing and makes a loud impression; therefore use in moderation is necessary. Blue is the most popular favorite color. Loyalty and respect are found to have blue associated with them (like uniforms). All physical activities are said to be superior in blue conditions. Wealth, superiority and nature have links to green. Shades of light greens are used in hospitals as ways of calming their patents. Happiness, sanguinity and good times are symbolized by yellow. Yet, be very careful with over using this color. It may become annoying or cause tempers to flare. Orange is unlike any other color, the most ostentatious or showy. It has traits linked to ambition and a new attitude. Majestic, royal, rich are examples of purple's power. Used often to create a feeling of mystery. Overused though, and purple causes an artificial affect. Brown is associated with the earth, stability and harvest. Also, brown should be used moderately. As you can see, mere colors can affect a user's experience before they even read your site. Number three? Typeface. All websites should use typefaces that are practical, easy to read and simple. No one wants to read some impact or space typeface on a professional page. One of the most popular typefaces in web design right now is Arial. Why? Arial is a sans-serif typeface that's easy to read, has great proportions, and looks great when used with proper vertical spacing. Bold, italic and oblique typefaces draw attention to important information. Normally links or hyperlinks are easy to find because they are underlined and/or colored differently than the rest of the content. Personally, I really love dotted underlines under links. Use these whenever you feel the need to make something stand out, but don't get caught up using these too much — overuse can ruin a good thing. Thanks for reading! I hope that this little post will help you in working for your next client, or just for yourself! 57 Responses to "Choosing the right font for the job!" 1.

Tim Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 7:12 am I disagree. For text that is to be displayed on the screen, PLEASE measure all fonts in pixels. This allows it to be displayed the same size regardless of the DPI setting in the operating system. For text that is to be printed, please measure all fonts in points. 5. martoon Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 7:13 am Great info, but be careful when choosing a color. The same color can mean different things to different people from different cultures. In the west, white could be used for a wedding, quite effectively. In the east, white could be used for a funeral, quite effectively. Know your audience. 6. 24klogos Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 7:17 am Tim, screens (computer screens) measure by PPI (pixels per inch) not DPI. and though the rule of thumb is 72 dots , or pixels fit on one inch. not all moniitors have the same pixel ratio, proportion and run on the same resolution. keeping sized absolute on screen may be a good guideline but its never exact. sizes may even display differently from browser to browser. That being said, yes, for print purposes dots per inch are the standard, though with the new digital presses coming out, we sure will start calling those dots pixels pretty soon. laters 7. HaHaUK Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 7:27 am Sony should have read this before using the various fonts for the PS3 and related advertisement. Especially that hideous Spiderman one. — http://hahauk.com 8. Tim Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 7:32 am 24klogos, yes I understand that it's really PPI, but most operating systems call it DPI (Windows included). The problem is that different operating systems use different settings. Windows is 96 PPI by default - a 12 point font is 16 pixels. OS X is 72 PPI by default - a 12 point font is 12 pixels. 9.

Retired Editor Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 8:17 am Readability studies indicate that fonts with serifs (such as Times New Roman or other roman fonts) are easier to read than sans-serif typefaces. We read words by seeing their shapes, and serifs help us to see each word as a unit. 18. Ondra Hosek Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 8:52 am I would agree with basically every point except maybe the use of Arial. I've grown tired through the years of Arial's plainness. I'm not saying it's an ugly font, I'm saying it has been used and overused and I'd rather see less plain but still professional-looking sans-serif fonts like Frutiger at least on paper. (Obviously, Frutiger on the web is a problem due to licensing issues…) I'm not as tired with Times New Roman, which is also a great piece of design work, but, again, don't overdo it. I don't want the whole Internet to use this. 19. Prime News Blog » Blog Archive » xxx wonder woman Choosing the right font for the job!

Raybo Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 9:12 am I'd have to disagree with "Retired Editor". I understand that serifs may be easier to read…in print. But online serifs are harder to read, especially serifs which haven't been optimally designed for the web as well as serifs which are smoothed by computer rendering. 22. Chris Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 9:16 am Great article, very helpful! Thanks 23. Clay Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 9:17 am Wow, this is an amateurish article. Regarding font sizes, (as others have mentioned) you should be using points, not pixels, for the very reason that you want your font to appear the same size on all monitors, no matter their resolution. Regarding colors, that was about the most elementary and uninsightful regurgitation of color theory I've ever heard. And regarding typefaces, you shared nothing of interest whatsoever. No discussion of how to choose complementary typefaces, or how to use image-based fonts to add visual interest while using text-based (and WEB-SAFE!) fonts for text. And why is Arial popular? Um, because it's web-safe and ubiquitous. Yes, it's a clean on-screen font. But honestly, we still have very little choice in this realm, due to the paltry default font set installed on Windows and Mac computers. A web designer with real experience would have a lot more to say about fonts than this. 24. Shalimar Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 9:46 am I agree with Clay, I though I was going to get a helpful and insightful article. Instead i got the common sense any semi visual person might have. Might want to rename the article as to not mislead. 25. Brad Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 9:51 am For the love of all that is good an holy, stop the Arial and other san-serif font trends. It's okay for small things, but for anything longer than a page (say…main body text) use a serif font. Serif fonts reduce eye strain and are easier to read in the long haul. You'll never see a book printed in Arial. For good reason. 26. Joseph Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 10:07 am people, why does EVERYTHING have to have some sort of stupid underlying purpose? Like colors. I hate what the marketing world has become - emotions. why do i hate it, because i THINK about what im doing and what im buying. I dont let my emotions, and the way people try to guide them, run my brain. Blue doesnt represent loyalty to me anymore than pink does. red doesnt appease my appetite anymore than green does. Its all crap-o-la and i cant wait for the aliens to come here and blow us up. They really are, they told me so. 27. Lawton Chiles Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 10:19 am Thanks for reminding me what good typography is all about: keeping it simple and not overly fancy. I will be returning and letting my readers know about your groovy resource. Thanks! Lawton Chiles Graphic Design Minute 28. Michael Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 12:21 pm Sorry, but measuring fonts with pixels is so web1.0! The Web is NOT print! Use em's! My advice: http://www.alistapart.com/topics/design/typography/ 29. Christian Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 1:38 pm Brad - amen about the san serif fonts. They do look nice for short blurbs but they are hard on the eyes after awhile. What are your thoughts on the new(ish) Segoe font? 30. Cornelius Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 1:45 pm I think this is the worst article about type that I've ever read, ever. And I'm not talking about "pixels vs points," I'm talking about the actual merit of the "knowledge" presented. Before you start trying to give people advice, best that you learn what you're talking about. Every single one of your three tips is so far off base and so filled with bullshit. No mention of line length, leading, kerning, heirarchy, or contrast in #1, aside from a basic rule about making your headline larger than its content (this is not something that anyone needs to be told). Everything in #2 about color theory is personal opinion, none of it is rooted in fact, and the one clear piece of advice you seem to give is "use interesting colors sparingly." I'm not even going to pick apart #3. What advice do you possibly have to give about type choice? "I like dotted underlines"? Learn your shit before you try to teach other people. When articles like this spread, they drag down the whole community. 31. Chris A. Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 1:47 pm True, Shalimar, the title could stand to be more transparent, but this short, sort of 101 course won't hurt those who are more savvy at web development and it may help some that are making horrid sites. I only counted two things as bad advice: promoting Arial and pixel-sizing for fonts. Down with Arial and up with relative font sizes. My take on both: http://inspireaction.mindandmedia.com/index.php/2007/04/02/monstrous-fonts/ 32. mike Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 1:49 pm Talk about colors. Washed out gray give me the feeling that your ink cartridge is about to run out and you're too cheep to replace it. What would you do if your printer or copier output stuff like that - I bet you'd replace the cartridge as soon as possible. Why send out stuff on a website with that crappy look? 33. mike Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 1:52 pm Font size is another hot spot. Not everyone has the eyesight of 20 year olds. Some fonts are just too small to read comfortable (or at all). Let the user set the default size - you just use the em attribute - preferable at 1.05 and up. This makes it easy for everyone to read it. If it's not important enough to get a good crisp color and a readable size, then why waste the bandwidth! 34. Brian Cray Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 2:05 pm This is just a response to some of the comments… 1. For the web, font size should be specified in pixels for the BODY element, and specified as percentages thereafter. 2. Serifs should not be used unless in a large size on the web. Monitors do not have a high enough PPI (DPI, WHATEVER) to display serifs nicely, so they just look pixelated. 3. Yea, arial isn't the greatest font, but web desginers have to stick to web-safe fonts (fonts that are on Winblows and OSex). Arial is more of a designer's font than verdana… c'mon. Verdana, while easy to read, is as ugly as carp. My two cents, anyway. 35. Justin Kozuch Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 2:51 pm I have a technique that is fail safe for web-fonts: body { font-size: x-small; /* for IE5/Win */ voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; font-size: small; /* for compliant browsers */ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } html>body { /* Be nice to Opera */ font-size: small; } No matter what browser I use, I get the same font "experience" across the board. Love it. 36. Justin Kozuch Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 2:58 pm I should also that this makes scaling other elements, headers, paragraphs, etc much easier, as I use percentages for sizing other elements. For instance: #somedivname p { font-size: 90%; } That way, IE6/IE7/Ffox 1.5/Ffox 2.0/Opera/etc, scale the fonts the way they should. Perfect. :) 37. tweak Says: April 2nd, 2007 at 5:35 pm My only complaint is recommending Arial over Helvetica. Max Miedinger will be rolling over in his grave… 38.

You'll never see a book printed in Arial. For good reason." This really isn't true. Brian Cray is correct. Resolution of monitors make serif fonts difficult to read. The general rule of thumb is to use sans-serif fonts for screens, and serif fonts for print. One could argue that large serif fonts can be used headers, title graphics, etc, but body text should be rendered in an easy-to-read-via-monitor sans-serif font. 44. virtualadrian.com » Blog Archive » So you suck at design!?

Comrade Cafferty was one of the original Obamaphiles. A vicious communist with no sense of humor.

I suspect he's turned at his bosses' bequest because CNN is being destroyed by Fox in the ratings. Whatever, he's a cockroach. |

Well, i got my order from northernbrewer today. I plan on starting my first beer this weekend. One of the kits i got is the raspberry wheat ale. I figured it would be a good summer beer. It came with 4 oz. of raspberry flavoring. The directions say to add at bottling time. Im going to be kegging, so i guess ill just pour it in to the bottom of the keg and then siphon the beer in? Also, has anyone made this kit? I think adding all 4 oz of the raspberry flavoring would make it too sweet/fruity to me. I just want it to have a hint of raspberry in it. Hopefully someone else has made it and will have some insight! Thanks Adam
I have made this and added the whole 4 oz to my keg and everyone comments how good it is and that the raspberry is very mild and not overpowering.
nice! thats good to hear.
I also made this kit. Bottled it instead of kegging. I added all 4oz of flavoring, and I have to say I would of liked a bit more. It seems after aging the raspberry flavor goes away pretty quickly. If kegging I would think the 4oz would be more than enough, not overpowering in my opinion at all.
Sounds like a great kit. I want to try it, now. So, if the raspberry syrup isn't potent enough in bottled beer how can one compensate? Is the raspberry syrup a particular brand and easy enough to come by either with a brew supply store or grocery?
Extract ExercisesPrimary: Amber-Weiss ?%ABVAging: Dark Amber Ale 3%ABV, and Sweet IPA 6.74%ABV.Consumed: Irish Stout 4-5%ABV, All Malt Amber 6%ABV, Porter ?%ABV, Dead Guy Ale Clone ?%ABVUp Next: Smoked Chocolate Milk Stout
Well don't get me wrong up front it taste excellent, but after letting the bottles age for six plus months I almost taste no raspberry now. I believe the Raspberry is artificial and not from actual fruit. I could be wrong because it has been a long time since I brewed this kit. Maybe using real raspberries and not extract or syrup would be better?
I think you are on to something there. A local brewery makes a raspberry wheat with real raspberries. It was seasonal until sometime last year they made it a year long offering. It is amazingly good. So, real raspberry is definately the trick. I have seen homebrewers use raspberries in their secondary fermentor... unfortunately I do not know what this brewery's process is...
Problem is the cost of the raspberries. Takes an inexpensive kit and probably ups the cost considerably. Whats the value of good beer though :-)
IMHO use real raspberrys instead. I cant stand the extract stuff. Use about 4 pounds, and it should make a great beer.

Mating takes place on the ice in April or May, but the fertile ova do not implant until the following fall. This is called delayed implantation.
Females usually bear two cubs about two months after they enter the maternity den, usually by early January.
- Newborns are 12 to 14 inches long (30–35 cm) and weigh little more than one pound (0.5 kg). Cubs grow rapidly on their mother's rich milk.
- The family remains in the den until March or early April. During her entire time in the den—four to eight months—mother bear doesn't eat or drink. When she finally emerges with her cubs, she leads them to the sea ice so she can break her long fast by hunting seals.
For at least 20 months, cubs drink their mother's milk and depend on her for survival. Her success at hunting is critical for her own needs and for teaching cubs to find food for themselves.
In the Low Arctic weaning occurs as cubs approach their second birthday. Cubs in the High Arctic generally receive an additional year of care.

A roundup of shares by professional
Neil Woodford, the best UK investor of his generation, has taken a big chunk of biotech minnow Synairgen (SYNG) a month after it licensed an asthma drug for a fee worth up to $225 million (£131 million).
Citywire A-rated Woodford went from below a reportable holding in the business to owning 19%, or 17.5 million shares worth £9.1 million at a share price of 52p.
The manager - who has offered the best long-term risk-adjusted return of any UK investor - left Invesco Perpetual, his employer of more than 25 years, earlier this year to launch his own business.
Shares in Synairgen briefly spiked more than 40% in June following the announcement of the deal with AstraZeneca, before deflating as the company placed 12.2 million shares to fund development.
AstraZeenca will pay the company an up-front fee of $7.3 million with the remainder subject to targets, in addition to royalties. Broker FinnCap has a 108p target price on the business.

Jerome Booth has reduced his holding in Ashmore (ASHM), the investment firm he helped establish.
Booth has sold 6.2 million shares in Ashmore – worth approximately £23 million – to take his stake down to 42.2 million shares, equivalent to 6% of the company.
Booth retired from Ashmore, where he had been head of research, last year. He was involved in the group's creation in 1999 through a management buyout from ANZ Bank.
Booth then formed a new venture called New Sparta through which he invests in other enterprises, including Icon Film Distribution, which owns titles such as La Vie en Rose and Drive in its portfolio.
Ashmore itself is an asset manager focused on emerging markets. Analysts at Citi recently warned that there was 'room for disappointment' in its share price if it suffered adverse currency movements or reported weaker margins. They noted that it was also 'one of the most shorted stocks in the sector'.
Citi's target price for the stock is 360p, the level at which they are currently trading.

Macfarlane Group
Citywire AA-rated small cap veteran Gervais Williams has upped his investment in packaging specialist Macfarlane Group (MACF) following a 25% slide in its share price over the last three months.
Williams upped his holding in the company from 6.6 million shares to 7.1 million or 6.2% worth £2.8 million at a share price of 39p, down from a 12-year high of 49p in April this year.
The shares, which currently yield 4.5%, are held in his £266 million small-cap dividend-focused Diverse Income Trust (DIVI). Charles Stanley rates Macfarlane an add with a price target of 55p.
Despite some concerns about a persistent long-term pension deficit the business has managed to expand in recent years while consistently either maintaining or increasing its dividend.
In an update in May the company reported a marginal improvement in sales but warned that this was at the cost of some of its margin. It added that it expected volumes to improve in the second half, however.

Wilmington Group
Aberdeen's head of UK and European equities Jeremy Whitley has upped his stake in business training, publishing and compliance services business Wilmington Group (WIL) as its shares slide.
Whitley increased his stake in the business from 10.1 million shares to 10.3 million, or 12%, worth around £20.4 million.
The shares are held in his £213 million Aberdeen UK Smaller Companies fund. Broker Peel Hunt cut its target price on Wilmington from 280p to 265p in May while N+1 Singer has a target of 218p.
In a trading update the company reported revenue for the first quarter up 5% on the year before but warned the strength of the pound this year had had a 'small negative' impact on overseas earnings.
It also reported its legal division was continuing to face weak market conditions, but said it had taken action to defend margins.

Whitley has also more than doubled his position in electronics supplier Acal (ACL).
Through the Aberdeen UK Smaller Companies fund that his team manages, Whitley purchased another 4.5 million shares in Acal, worth around £10 million. His fund now owns 8.5 million Acal shares, equivalent to 14% of the company.
Last month Acal bought Noratel, a designer and manufacturer of electromagnetic products that is headquartered in Norway. Acal financed the deal in part through a £55 million rights issue, but advised that the acquisition was 'expected to be immediately significantly accretive to underlying earnings' – even excluding any benefits from cost savings.
Acal itself has been surging recently, with revenue up by 17% in the year to 31 March 2014 and operating profit jumping by 29%.
The £224 million Aberdeen UK Smaller Companies fund has returned an annualised 21% over the past five years, just ahead of the 20% recorded by its benchmark small-cap index through the period.
