Sudden Attack
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Sudden Attack Overview
Sudden Attack is the mother of all modern day tactical shooter MMOs, as it was really the first of its kind. Great games like Combat Arms and Wolfteam are all just knockoffs; good knock offs but knockoffs nonetheless. The only major difference between Sudden Attack and some of these new-age MMOFPS games is aesthetics, as gameplay-wise, they're all similar. Enough with the comparisons, though. Sudden Attack is a fast-paced MMOFPS with numerous game modes and maps. Play online with up to 16 players at once in the following game modes:
Deathmatch - Two teams, players respawn within a few seconds after they die. The team with the most kills wins.
Bomb Diffusal – Two teams, terrorists (red) and counter-terrorists (blue). Terrorists win by either killing all of the opposing team or by planting a bomb in one of the 'bomb sites' and waiting for it to explode. Think Counter-Strike.
Siege - Two Teams, players respawn within a few seconds after they die. Teams have to capture and hold a certain location on the map for a set amount of time to win. Think King of the hill.

Sudden Attack Review
By Omer Altay
Sudden Attack is yet another MMOFPS game that both looks and plays remarkably similar to other games in the genre. Personally, I enjoy playing just about any MMOFPS game, so I was actually a bit excited when Sudden Attack launched here in North America. One thing worth mentioning right away is that Sudden Attack is an old game, so it'll run smoothly on most computers.
Quick History Lesson
When I first started playing Sudden Attack, I was a bit upset to see that the newly released MMOFPS had a terribly ugly interface and was far too similar to other MMOFPS games like Cross Fire and Combat Arms to be a coincidence. To my surprise (after doing some research), I learned that Sudden Attack was released well before most MMOFPS games, as it was released in South Korea in 2004 while Combat Arms was released in 2007! Sudden Attack is the game that really got the ball rolling with the MMOFPS genre and dozens of games copied it. One thing worth mentioning is that since Sudden Attack was originally released in 2004 it doesn't have nearly the same amount of visual polish that newer MMOFPS games do. In fact, the game's interface is quite ugly. Enough with the history lesson, though! I'm itching to actually talk about the game.
'Tactical' MMOFPS
One thing that all tactical MMOFPS games share in common is that players can lose all of their hit points within seconds and that head shots hurt. Like in all MMOFPS games, getting sniped is always frustrating. Snipers in Sudden Attack almost always 'one-shot', so it's never a good idea to stand still too long. One annoying aspect of Sudden Attack that a lot of 'tactical MMOFPS' games share is that players can shoot through the corners of walls, which is a bit ridiculous at times because players constantly empty their clips into walls in hopes of hitting someone. This tactic is especially popular in certain 'choke points' where both teams need to get through. From my experience with Sudden Attack the gameplay actually felt faster-paced than most MMOFPS games. Every time I played the game's 'bomb defusal' mode, I felt like I was playing Counter-Strike, as it's identical to Counter-Strike where the terrorist team (red team) has to plant and guard a bomb to win.
Not bad for an old game
When it comes to technology and video games, anything older than three years is considered ancient history. To my surprise, Sudden Attack actually holds its own when compared to even top-notch newer games. The graphics, once adjusted to the maximum resolution, are actually quite good. It's no Huxley, but it's still good. I mentioned this earlier, but the only real aspect of the game that really shows its age is the interface. Heck ,even for a game released in 2004 the interface outside of matches is quite poor, but luckily that has no impact on the actual game.
More Content Pleeeeease!
Where Sudden Attack falls shortest is the game's lack of variety. The game has absolutely zero character customization, only a handful of weapons in the game's item store, and only three game modes. The least the game's publisher could have done before releasing the game was to stock the game's item store with some aesthetic items, as that requires the least effort on the 'coding aspect', but nope. I can't imagine how Sudden Attack expects to compete with other MMOFPS games like Wolfteam, which has 22+ primary weapons and a boat-load of secondary ones, when Sudden Attack has less than ten weapons overall. This may not seem like a big deal, but when there are so many alternative games out there that offer everything Sudden Attack does and more, it's sort of hard to compete. The only redeeming aspect of the game's content is that there are already numerous (10+) maps available, all of which are varied and genuinely different. To be fair, at the time of this review Sudden Attack is still extremely new (New in North America, Old in Korea), so I'm sure the developers will release more content; and if they do, I'll make sure to update this.
Wow that guy's really good! Oh wait, he's just hacking.
One big issue that currently plagues Sudden Attack is the amount of cheaters in the game. Sure, every game has SOME hackers, but there are quite a few hackers in Sudden Attack. This could be because of the game's age, but it's more likely that whatever anti-cheat software the game's developers are using (if any) is lousy. Letting hackers run wild is probably the worst thing to do as a game publisher because it makes regular players get so fed up that they either quit or download hacking tools themselves, which hurts the game even more.
Argh. Laggy Camera
One extremely annoying aspect of Sudden Attack is the game's death camera. Upon dying and waiting to respawn, players can spectate their team mates in first person. This is certainly a good distraction while waiting to respawn, but spectating another player in first person is extremely laggy for some odd reason. This basically makes waiting to respawn extremely boring (not that waiting is ever fun), and it could be better provided the spectating camera was better.
Final Verdict – Good
Even with all of its flaws, Sudden Attack is still a genuinely fun MMOFPS game. The fact that it's one of the first only makes the game more impressive. The only real drawback to the game is its age, and unfortunately, it really shows.

The rising public concern for coal's environmental and health impacts is starting to play a large role in restricting coal demand in China, and the air pollution crisis in Beijing in early 2013 indicates that these concerns are likely to increase. According to the U.S. Embassy, Beijing's readings for PM2.5 pollution (dangerous particles that cause heart and lung damage) surged to 886 µg/m3 on January 12, more than double the U.S. EPA's highest grading of "hazardous". Burning coal is a leading cause of PM2.5 pollution, and the Chinese public is becoming increasingly vocal in its demand for solutions.

Psycho Is 50
Happy 50th to Psycho
Today is the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the film thriller "Psycho".
Initial reviews of Hitchcock's film were mixed, but audiences were thrilled, so to speak, and it wound up being nominated for four Academy Awards – for best director, best supporting actress, best cinematography, and best art direction and set decoration.
The movie tells the story of Marion Crane, a secretary who has embezzled money from her employer, and Norman Bates, proprietor of an isolated motel where Marion takes refuge. After conversation with Bates, Marion decides to come clean, return the money, and start life fresh with her boyfriend. She showers, as if to wash away her guilt, and, in an unforgettable scene of powerful intensity, is viciously stabbed. The rest of the film is about the effort of her boyfriend and sister to find the killer.
Paramount, who had contracted with Hitchcock for several films, did not want him to make "Psycho" because they found the story repulsive. They claimed their facilities were scheduled for other projects, so Hitchcock bought the film rights anonymously through an agent, gave up his directing fee for 60 percent ownership of the negative, got the actors and crew for reduced salaries, filmed in black and white, and produced it himself on a very low budget.
"Psycho" broke new ground in telling a brutal story and killing off the star before the midpoint of the movie, thereby eliminating all romantic potential early on. "Psycho" was the first to show a flushing toilet, something the censors wanted Hitchcock to remove. They also objected to using the word "transvestite" until the screenwriter proved with a dictionary that the word did not refer to sexual behavior.
Hitchcock was a master of promotion. To preserve the shock of the story, he tried to buy up all copies of the novel. He forbade the stars, Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins, from appearing on television or radio or giving newspaper or magazine interviews, and he would not hold private advance screenings for movie critics. Also, controversially, Hitchcock insisted on no late admissions to the theatre, an unusual move in 1960. Theatre owners were not happy about this, until they saw the long lines of moviegoers arriving on time to see the movie. The result was a moneymaker for Alfred Hitchcock—he became a multimillionaire and acquired a significant share of stock in Universal, Paramount's parent company.
The influence of "Psycho" was both immediate and long lasting. Millions stopped taking showers, including the star Janet Leigh, after seeing the movie. It led to sequels, a prequel, remakes, and a tv show, and inspired a new genre of "slasher" films. It is regarded as one of Hitchcock's best movies, indeed one of the best movies of all time, a classic of cinematic artistry.
"Psycho" is based on the novel by Robert Bloch which is based on the true story of Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein.
"Psycho" is available at the Library in both DVD and VHS. Bloch's novel is also available, along with other horror tales he wrote, including "The Night of the Ripper" and "Lori".
Among other Hitchcock movies in the Library's collection are "Dial M for Murder", "The Birds", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "North by Northwest", "Rebecca", and "To Catch A Thief".
Have you seen this classic movie? If you saw it when it came out in 1960, have you viewed it since? If so, has it affected you differently with subsequent viewings? We are really curious—let us know.

Chemistry - It's Elemental
What better time than National Chemistry Week (October 16-22) in the International Year of Chemistry (2011) to consider the fundamental role of chemistry in our lives?
Many, if not most, of us take chemistry for granted and, after that class in high school or college, tend not to give it another thought. But chemistry is basic to the comfort, safety, and maintenance of our daily lives. This is illustrated in The Joy of Chemistry: the amazing science of familiar things by Cathy Cobb and Monty L. Fetterolf. From the fascination of fall foliage and fireworks to the functioning of smoke detectors and computers, to the fundamentals of digestion, they demonstrate the principles of chemistry entertainingly in everyday terms.
Simon Quellen Field also dispels the notion that chemistry is the private realm of "nerds with masking tape on their eyeglasses". He explains Why There's Antifreeze in Your Toothpaste: the chemistry of household ingredients and demystifies questions about common products we use daily. Did you know that table salt is more than a flavoring and can be used as a binding agent, and even a thickener to change the viscosity of shampoo?
Chemistry in History
Chemistry has played an important and sometimes not-so-subtle role in history. Could the failure of Napoleon's 1812 western European campaign be explained by something as tiny as a button? When exposed to very low temperatures, tin starts to crumble into powder. In Napoleon's regiments, everything from greatcoats to trousers was fastened with tin buttons. Were the soldiers of the Grand Armee fatally weakened by the brutal Russian winter when their uniforms fell apart? If tin had different cold-bearing properties, might history have taken a very different turn? That is only one of the intriguing questions contemplated by Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson in Napoleon's Buttons: how 17 molecules changed history.
Sam Kean also brings chemistry to dramatic life in The Disappearing Spoon and other true tales of madness, love, and the history of the world from the periodic table of the elements. He demonstrates that the periodic table is a treasure trove of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. His tales follow each element as they influence history, finance, mythology, conflict, the arts, medicine, and the lives of the frequently mad scientists who discovered them. The disappearing spoon of the title refers to a classic scientist's prank: Though solid at room temperature, gallium is a moldable metal that melts at 84 degrees. The prankster fashions gallium spoons, serves them with tea, and watches with glee as guests recoil when the Earl Grey makes their spoons disappear.
Jamestown is considered the birthplace of American chemical enterprise. There, the promise of chemistry arose in the workings of cleaning agents, glass, pharmaceuticals, and metallurgy, propelled upward by the demands of commerce. Jamestown has been named a National Historic Chemical Landmark. Read more about the role of chemistry in trade in Jamestown: the buried truth by William Kelso.

Ferguson's Career Guidance Center is full of interesting information.
Nobel Prize
Newsbank has articles about the award of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, announced October 5, to Dan Shechtman. Shechtman, an Israeli scientist, discovered quasicrystals in 1982, for which he was kicked out of his research group because scientists did not believe such things could exist. He persevered, however, and is now finally recognized for the validity of his research. What are quasicrystals? Find out using Newsbank or Credo.
Marie Curie, one of the most famous Nobel winners, received the Chemistry prize 100 years ago in 1911 for her discovery of radium and polonium. Read a biography of this dedicated scientist to gain insight into the significance of her work for nuclear research and for opportunities for women in our own century.
Mysterious Solutions
Do not pass up the delightful mystery series starring Flavia de Luce, the 11-year-old aspiring chemist with a passion for poison. In The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, she must exonerate her father of murder. This is followed by The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag and A Red Herring without Mustard. Chemistry is painlessly integral to the tales in this wickedly brilliant series set around a decaying English country house in the 1950s. Adults will most appreciate the humor but younger readers will enjoy these also.

I'm part of a palliative medicine program at Mayo Clinic. Palliative medicine is an emerging specialty that focuses on quality of life and symptom control for patients with life-altering conditions. It's closely related to the hospice movement.
Several months ago, I was asked to see a woman in her early 30s who had suffered a devastating accident that resulted in paralysis from the waist down and a life-threatening infection from a broken bone in the thigh. She underwent multiple surgeries and was started on a complicated medication schedule. Before she left the hospital she was instructed in the importance of keeping the wound clean and how to change the dressing, and reminded to strictly follow her medication schedule. The patient was bright and clearly understood the importance of these recommendations.
Over a number of months, however, the patient returned to the hospital frustrated and in a desperate situation from dehydration and pain. Once again, she was given careful instructions, which she said she understood.
When I later visited with the patient in the outpatient setting, I saw a miraculous transformation. Hope had replaced despair, and joy had replaced anger. I asked her what had happened. She said, "I owe it all to Toto."
Toto was a dog that my patient had rescued from the local pound. This dog, in turn, helped save its owner by giving her a reason to get out of the bed every morning. Toto needed to be fed and walked. Toto had to see the vet, and so on.
Toto brought something more as well. As scientists have discovered, animals have healing powers. When you stroke a cat or pet a dog, you experience a surge of healing hormones and chemicals that produce feelings of peace and serenity.
Healing relationships come in many sizes. Some have two legs, some have four legs, and some even have fins or feathers. Do you have a Toto in your life? Share your story.

Our miniature therapy horses at Mane in Heaven www.maneinheaven.org (Chicago area) bring SO much love and joy to those in need. We visit nursing homes, homes for the disabled, hospitals, veteran facilities, "bringing a little heaven to those in need." There are always smiles, love, laughter and such joy which is true healing. It is as much therapy for all of our volunteers as well as those we visit. Now everyone knows what we know...Horses are healers!
Thank you for further the awareness of the healing powers of our animals.
Animal Therapy is emerging into a new therapy technique that is providing effective results for the people that are using animal therapy. I recently heard that there has been studies done by that animal therapy has proven to help lower blood pressure with people with heart disease and that by interacting with an animal has increased a person's hormone oxytocin, a hormone that provides the body with a state of readiness to heal and grows new cells.
I am single, 70+, have two kitties whom I got a few months before I had back surgerylast year, was in a lot of pain and depressed. Quite frankly, I do not think I would be here if it were not for them. I'm still dealing with depression but my kitties really make a difference. They keep me going and comfort me in many ways. Pets can definitely make a difference.
I had never owned a pet until 4 years ago. I am 49 years old and in poor health. Never did I know how much an animal could come to mean to me. My dog Precious has brought so much joy laughter and love in my life. I, Like your story have had to get out of bed when I felt I could not to take care of her. She definitely keeps me active. I truly treasure her!
I have somewhat of a Toto story. As a child I heard a story of a family across the orchards, dog jumping in a swollen creek and beening carrying away. Later on in life riding as a passenger in a car near a swollen creek I saw a woman throw her arms up. That dog immediately came to mind. I told my friend who was driving to pull over and run to the river. We both did but to my great shock, a very small boy, not a dog floated by. My friend leaped into the river and pulled him out with effort. Luckly the boy started breathing spontaneously on his own. Even distant memories of animals save lives. Had it been a dog I hate to say it I would have done the leaping!
One of my little poodles, Bosco, got hit by a car. I was in a hurry one night getting ready to go out and let him out without a leash. I never let him out alone without a leash and was so sorry I did that night. He came crawling back up our stairs limping and with his eye all puffed out of the socket. Now he is all healed up but blind in one eye and walks on three legs most of the time. I think he may have some brain damage too because now when he sits on my lap in the chair he always brings his torn up stuffed toy with him in his mouth. I like to think maybe our pets are getting healing and peace from us petting them, the same as they give us, and that is maybe what makes us feel good. Dr. Creagan, did you ever think about going into veterinary medicine? I think you would make a good one.
One night I was crying in my bedroom and my daughter' cat named Cinnamon came into my room very silently. He stood in the center until I turned off the light. He did that every time I was crying at night because I discovered my husband had a lover. Cinnamon came to live in my house a week before I discovered the adultery. He became my companion during my worse days when I did cry all nights until the early mornings. He was my daughter's cat but refused to leave me alone in the room.
One year after my divorce started Cinnamon developed a critical urinary infection. He lived in the hospital for one month. I did not have money to pay for his care. He did have a medical insurance but the co-pays were a big concern for his long hospitalization. We had to make a decision and to put him to sleep. He was really sick. After my daughters and I cried so much for him, I decided to give him a second chance and I took the risk that he may die after all our efforts to save him. He brought so much peace to my life when I most needed that in return I did not want to give up to him too. I am glad. He survived. He is happy and healthy and in my new home.
Two years had passed and every time he decides to sleep at my bed or at my daughter's bed is because he feels someone is sick or worry. He seems to know when he his presence is needed. I call him a therapist because he always get close to someone who is in need of consolation or just company.
We love Cinnamon. He is a great therapist.
I've always had pets, but since I've had fibromyalgia, I can attest to the comfort and joy their presence brings, especially to the chronically ill. My cat (a stray 6 yrs ago) is my constant companion, laying with me when I'm unable to be active, and 'helping' me when I'm able to be up and around. I talk to him a lot, about everything, which I've noticed helps relieve my anxiety and stress. He's my little blessing!
My son is going through a divorce right now. He & his dog are living with us for awhile. The dog has helped my son with the stress & depression from the divorce. Also the dog has helped me alot deal with my own depression. Dogs have a sense when something is wrong & they stay by your side whenever you need someone. I don't know what I'd do with out the dog to keep me happy right now.
I lost my only daughter last October unexpectedly in an accident. She was only 20 years old. I struggled with going on with my own life. I have six beautiful cats at home who have helped me get up to take care of them each and every day. They have given me more love and peace in my life and I truly believe they have helped me to be here today. They need me and I need them so very much.
I have adopted a little dog from a rescue organization. My pet has done more for me than I have for him. He's been better to me than any human. What a gift!
I used to volunteer along with a couple of pets I owned. A hedgehog (Mr Tinkleberry) and 57 dog (Gizz). They were dearly loved by the patients at the Veteran's Hospital I lived near by and a Senior's home. They remembered England those that lived there during the wars. Gizz was a little closer contact and knew when patient needed a friend, totally relaxed patient and cheered them up. When these pet's passed on, the patients missed them both and staff.
I am currently training a Psychiatric Service Dog - a puppy named Caleb. He is 6 months old and is a Newfoundland/Standard Poodle cross now being called a Poodlelander.
He is black with a white beard, tuxedo chest and one white paw. His coat because it's summer does shed when he scratches himself but that is because of his double coat. He is learning instructions very well and is as my husband says is a 'cuddlebum' and and a 'ragamuffin'. He will assist me to deal with my organic Agoraphobia and Panic Attacks which started after ECT invaded my Fear/Flight centre so I have not been out anywhere without a family member or trusted friend since early 1993. I can't wait for Caleb to be fully trained and certified.
He's a handful now because he's a puppy but I know both the Newfie & Poodle breeds so well that I know this is a match made in Heaven. He'll be big, black, well-behaved [an ambassador] - just what I & many others with Neurological challenges need. Indeed, I hope to be able to become a breeder to provide these wonderful 'mutts' for free to everyone who needs a Psych. Service Dog!
I have a small chihuahua that is registered as a service animal. He silently assisted me in so many ways that I took for granted. For many years he behaved and assumed the role of a family pet because I always had so many people around me. Then, I had several tragic events occur in my life. One of these was losing my husband. Scooter jumped into a role he never really resigned from and had not forgotten. It's not just that he provides the attention and comfort from having him around. He immediately began to respond to my medical needs, including mental and emotional ones, as if by magic he somehow knew that this was no longer being provided. There were some mornings that I was so depressed and so immersed in grief that I couldn't attend to my own daily and personal needs. Life has improved for me as I've learned to take care of myself and be more attentive to my own physical and medical needs. However, I recall mornings of having two paws press firmly on my sternum and sometimes he would lick the soles of my feet until I would respond. I never expected to have to live alone to a point of having to learn how to take care of myself. But, I'm not alone. Scooter provides companionship but he is attentive and fully assistive in both simple everyday needs that others take for granted as well as being able to respond and assist when I have a medical crisis.
When I was trying to heal from an assault, I got a rescue dog. I thought I was rescuing her, but she helped me become a strong person again and, of course I'm always careful, but I am not afraid anymore.
You first have to get to the point where you want a pet. Once you get to that point, then, yes, the pet brings you forward very fast into peace, happiness,love and life.
My husband and I rescued a very sick cat and slowly nursed him back to health. When my Type 1 diabetic husband is about to have a low, which doesn't happen often, but with little or no warning, our "rescue cat" becomes the rescuer, meowing, pacing, and alerting - he has some way of knowing when action is needed.
I have depression problems, and my Shetland Sheepdog is the only real joy in my life. Now, he is elderly, and has a fatal illness....
When my Dad passed away, my Mom came to live with us and she has Alzeimers. Our dog Jayka has been the joy of her life, she wakes up every morning and asks where she is, she pets her and everytime the disease takes over, we call Jayka and the smile on my Mom comes back. They are true miracles these animals.
i know a long time ago that all animals if watched carefully do have messages and healing power unknown to many.

What's a Lineage Application? People apply to join societies based on their link to an ancestor who was involved in a specific historical event or heritage. When doing so, the applicant must supply a personal genealogy, generation by generation, to prove their link between themselves and the ancestor. Examples of lineage societies include:
– National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution
- General Society of Mayflower Descendants
- General Society of the War of 1812
- Order of Founders and Patriots of America
And more… check out Cyndi's List for links to many of these.
Shared Ancestor? Many of these societies have existed for generations, and hold genealogical gems of information in their lineage paperwork. For a fee, or sometimes for free if you are onsite at their national headquarters, some of these societies will allow you to peruse past lineage applications, including proofs and documents related to them (generally not including those that contain information on living people). If you share an ancestor with someone who applied for membership in one of these societies, the information and documents in their file could be of great use to you!
The Headaches. With great patriotic zeal, many of our grandmothers and grandfathers flocked to join historically-based lineage societies, especially in the early 1900s. Sometimes, unfortunately, the documents to prove relationships have been destroyed or lost. Occasionally, the information is completely wrong. Take these for example:
– In an application filed in 1933, the descendant identified her ancestor's wife, date of marriage, five children, unit served in during that war, age and birthplace, and death date. No documentation was attached except a letter from the War Department identifying the man's service unit. In researching the man, it was discovered that of the information provided his wife was correct, the date of marriage was off by five years, the service unit was wrong (two men of the same name served from that state), three children were missing from the list, the death date was right, the birth county was wrong but not the state, and the man's birth year was off by twenty years!
– In an application filed in the late 1920s, a descendant identified the ancestor as a Colonel in the army, gave his wife's name, children's names, birth year, and birth state, and state served from. The research concluded that the wife, children, and birth year and state were correct. However, the birth year showed that the man was only age 11 at the beginning of the war, not likely to be officer material. The original application was denied. The application was resubmitted, but next identified the ancestor as a private in the army. Further research concluded that while it is possible that the man could have joined late in the war as a drummer or boy soldier, he would not have matched the man he was identified as. The problem was that the ancestor had a common name, and there were nine men of that name from that state who served in the war. Eventually a newspaper from the late 1920s for the descendant's home town was found with an article about the descendant and her patriotic ancestor. The descendant was quoted as saying that they had no idea if the ancestor served, but he lived during that time, so he probably did. The research unfortunately concluded that the ancestor did not serve at all and was not even living in the state he was to have served in during the war.
The Highlights. While some early applications have errors, these days national lineage societies are very careful about checking and re-checking the veracity of the applications submitted to them. They often employ talented professionals who review current applications and often re-review older applications. I have found some amazing personal documents in lineage applications that either were a short cut in my research or were so unique as to not be found elsewhere, such as:
– Handwritten copies of marriage licenses
– Copies of Family Bible pages
– Names of Children who pre-deceased vital registrations
– Information on family migrations
– Church records, such as baptisms or funerals.
How To Get the Best Out of Lineage Applications. In any research where you find a genealogy with lots of great information but little to no documentation, don't discard it out of hand – use it as a backdrop to your future research. In the first example of the application filed in 1933, the marriage date was wrong, but the city was not. Having that to start from was a short cut – otherwise the research would have had to stretch to three possible counties. Some clues in the children's names helped narrow down information on their marriages, and it turned out they were married in the same church as their parents. This led not only to the correct marriage date but also to finding the cemetery plot records. Without that lineage application, the research would have taken much more time. The key is to not just accept names, dates, and places in the application at face value. Chase it down – find the original record! You may find more than you thought.
Thank You Lineage Societies! While we may find good or bad in lineage application records, we thank these societies for keeping history alive through the generations. Many society members spend volunteer hours in preserving documents, indexing records, identifying and beautifying cemeteries, or giving back to the community in other ways. Societies such as these often promote genealogical research and collect books and microfilms on historical subjects in libraries that are open to the public. Take time to find out if you have a great aunt or grandfather who joined one of these societies and check out the research they did to honor your common ancestor.
Happy Hunting!

porting a game from android/ios to winRT and win phone 8.
works perfect on winRT.
however on win phone 8 on the nokia 920 we see a lot of slow down dealing with CreateTexture2D. mainly since we have to convert a lot of palleted textures to full RGBA images. could anyone recommend the best format to use to get the most performance? we already have 80% of our textures in DXT3 and DXT1 format (BC1 and BC2 in directx) however we simply have some images which are 16 color palleted images which we for one reason or another can not convert to dxt3 or dxt1
Thank you very much.

1. Signature
He'd waited thirty three years to set pen to paper in this way. In a shaking scrawl, the name took form on clean parchment under the declaration that Frodo had so carefully inked out the week before in beautiful calligraphy.
The red ink came out, and the pen went around. Paladin and Eglantine claimed first right to witness this momentous occasion, signing their names in clear print.
Fredegar Bolger's name went down next.
Meriadoc Brandybuck, Esquire, claimed the pen and signed in flowing, showy calligraphy.
Samwise Gamgee put his name down in simple block letters.
And finally, the two who honored him most by their presence.
Frodo Baggins took the new eagle-quill pen offered and set his name down in the beautiful letters his uncle had taught him.
And last, but certainly not least, fragile elf-runes spelled out on tan parchment: Elessar Telcontar.
"Well Peregrin Took," Strider commented blowing lightly to dry the final delicate stroke, "the King has witnessed it. You are officially an adult."

|IMAI HIV/TB Co-Management Training for Health Workers training held on the 27- 31 August in Mahdia, Region 8.
Photos of the facilitators, from left Dr. Karen Cummings, Ms. Neibert Tucker and Mr. Noel Holder.
The Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) conducted five-day training on IMAI HIV/TB Co-Management Training for Health Workers.
The objective of the training was to improve knowledge and skills of health care workers in IMAI HIV/TB Co-Management. Sixteen (16) health care workers from the Mahdia District Hospital and Priceville Health Centre participated in the training held at the Regional Democratic Council.
The facilitators were Dr. Karen Cummings, PAHO/WHO IMAI Coordinator, Ms. Neibert Tucker, Mr. Noel Holder, Ms Melanie Thomas, PAHO/CIDA Coordinator, Ms Nicole Melville, Dots Coordinator and Leona Da Costa, Dots Field Supervisor.
Opening remarks given by the Regional Health Officer (RHO),
Dr. Mahendranauth Raghunauth.
The training commenced with welcome and opening remarks by Dr. Mahendranauth Raghunauth, RHO, Region 8, who encouraged the Health Care Workers to learn as much as they can about IMAI so that they can give better support and high-quality care to the patients and the community. This was followed by an overview of IMAI by Dr. Karen Cummings. The three (3) Aspects of the IMAI Tool which included the need to build clinical teams in order to realize the goal of delivering HIV prevention and treatment, providing quality care at the Primary Health Care Level; and how the facility can be strengthened. The need for health care workers to spend time to talk to patients was mentioned as well as efforts to address and enhance community participation was also noted.Dr. Karen Cummings posited that if the occasion arises when there is the shortage of health care workers, IMAI allows for the sharing and shifting of duties from Specialized physicians to doctors, from Doctors to nurses and from Nurses to people living with HIV and by extension from the clinical team to the community, the last category playing a vital step in the long term care and treatment of patients.
The major topics of the training were:
Participants in working groups
It was reiterated to the participants the need to carefully assess acute illnesses, to classify and identify treatments; to look at the sequence of Care after a client would have gotten positive HIV Test; and to cultivate the habit of using the general principles of Good Chronic Care-using the 5A's viz:-Assess the client's status, Advise given on key information, Agree on goals that reflect the client's priorities, Assist in providing treatments, and support and Arrange for client follow up; and how to use the HIV Care/ ART Card/ ART Register.
The Participants were engaged in the Mantoux test and a Video was shown on the Tuberculin Skin Test. At the end of the training, the pre-test and post-test of topics including HIV and Tuberculosis, and an evaluation were given to the participants.

These savory sweet potatoes are the perfect addition to your turkey dinner – let your slow cooker help you out in the kitchen this Thanksgiving!
I've adapted my sweet potato mashed potato recipe for the slow cooker, as another option for you this Thanksgiving Day. The slow cooker is a great appliance to use on those days you have a lot to cook, and not enough room on your stove and this sweet potato recipe couldn't be easier to adapt for the slow cooker.
I've also done this with maple, I just skipped the garlic and added 1 1/2 tsp pure maple syrup instead for a sweeter version. Enjoy!
Slow Cooker Garlic Sweet Potato Mash
Servings: 5 • Size: 3/4 cup • Old Points: 3 pts • Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 151 • Fat: 3.5 g • Carb: 27 g • Fiber: 3 g • Protein: 3 g • Sugar: 1 g
Sodium: 27 mg (without salt)
- 2 lbs (4 medium) sweet potatoes, peeled & cubed into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1/2 cup 1% milk
- 2 tbsp light sour cream
- salt and fresh cracked ground pepper, to taste
Place the sweet potatoes in the slow cooker and add just enough water to cover them. Add salt to the water, then cover and set the slow cooker to 4 hours on LOW.
Just before the potatoes are ready, melt the butter in a small saute pan and sauté garlic until lightly golden. Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the slow cooker. Pour the garlic butter over them, add milk and sour cream and mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste and keep the slow cooker set to warm until ready to eat or up to 2 hours.

Home Game Poker Tools
Not quite sure which poker hand wins a big pot? Don't know what your odds are to win a hand with a flush draw versus a made pair? Want an easy-to-use poker tournament clock for a game at home with some buddies?
Below you'll find some great PokerListings tools to help with your poker experience. We'll continue to add new tools here to improve your game so check back regularly for the latest tools.
Which Hand Wins Calculator
One of the most common questions beginner poker players ask is some variation of "What beats what?" For example:
I have Q♥ J♥, my opponent has K♥ 7♥, the board reads A♥ 9♥ 6♣ 4♦ 2♥. Who wins?
The answer, you'll know once you've played poker for a little while, is pretty simple (Both players have a flush; Player 2 wins with an Ace-high flush).
If you're just starting out in poker, though, scenarios like this can still be pretty confusing. That's why we've built the ultimate hand-reading/argument settling poker tool.
Just enter your cards, your opponent's cards and the cards on the board. The Which Hand Wins Calculator will instantly determine what your best five-card Texas Hold'em hand is and which player wins the pot.
If you're ever played a poker home game you know this kind of situation - where people aren't quite sure of the winner/hands in play - happens pretty often.
Get the PokerListings Which Hand Wins Calculator involved and you'll solve the problem immediately.
Poker Odds Calculator
Want to know your exact odds of winning, losing or spitting the pot in any poker scenario? PokerListings.com's Odds Calculator is here for you.
One of the most advanced poker odds calculators online, the PokerListings Odds Calculator works for Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7-Card Stud, 7-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Razz.
To use the poker odds calculator simply pick which poker game you're playing from the drop-down menu at the top left.
Add in the number of players in the hand and click on the appropriate cards in the virtual deck to fill in each player's hand.
Add in the flop and turn cards, click "Get Odds" and boom! Instant odds for each player winning, losing or splitting the pot by the end of the hand at that moment.
Click the reset button to clear the current hands/odds and start over.
PokerListings Tournament Clock
Want to run a super smooth, perfectly timed No-Limit Texas Hold'em tournament anywhere you want to?
The PokerListings Tournament Clock is the ideal tool to load up on the road, set up on the patio, use at the office or pull up on the big screen for your weekly home game.
With automatic, timed blind levels, an auto-set payout scale and dynamically adjusted features like average stack size, the PL Tourney Clock has everything you need for a seamless tournament finished in the exact amount of time you need it to.
If you want a tournament to run two hours, for example, just set the time frame and everything else is automatically set for you.
If you like a specific type of tournament you can also custom set anything you like - steep or flat prize structures, deep or turbo blind levels, rebuys or add-ons, etc. Tweak anything to your specific preferences and the other elements will automatically adjust accordingly.
PokerListings Side Pot Calculator
One of the most confusing aspects of poker for the beginner? Side pots.
What they are. When they're in play. How much money should be in them. And who wins them when the hand is over.
Bascially, everything about them
Not anymore. The PokerListings Side Pot Calculator cuts through the confusion and breaks poker side pots down in seconds.
All you have to do is add in the amount of chips eahc player has put into the pot, hit "calculate" and you'll see exactly how the chips should be split between the main pot and any number of side pots.
PokerListings Question of the Day
By far our longest-standing and most popular poker tool, the PokerListings Question of the Day is the ultimate learning opportunity to take your game to the next level.
Why? Because it puts you right in the middle of specific game-play scenarios, asks you to pick your best option and then walks you through to the optimal decision.
Not everyone will agree with the "right" answer. But it's the process that's most important here - thinking through your opponent's range of hands, deciphering what the information available tells you and making the best poker decision based on multiple, diverse factors.
Real-life poker hands, real-life poker answers and one indispensable learning tool.

Poker Coach Texas Hold'em AI
How does the idea of a perfect, "unexploitable" strategy for No-Limit Hold'em sound?
That's the premise behind Poker Snowie's "PokerCoach" tool, built from a sophisticated Texas Hold'em AI (artificial inteeligence) .
The underlying theory used is called Game Theory Optimal, or GTO, whose underlying concept is there is an opitmal play in every possible Hold'em scenario which essentially guarantees you long-term success.
The AI literally played trillions of Hold'em hands against itself to come up with those solutions.
You as the PokerCoach subscriber simply upload your hand histories into the software and it'll tell you exactly where you made sub-optimal decisions and what you should have done instead.
Follow the AI's suggestions and you're as near to unbeatable as you can get in Texas Hold'em. Click the image to the right to find out more.

Discover the man behind the furry red monster named Elmo — puppeteer Kevin Clash.
Every day, millions tune in to SESAME STREET to see one of the world's most adored and recognizable characters — a furry red monster named Elmo. Yet, with all of Elmo's fame, the man behind the icon is able to walk down the street without being recognized.
Meet Kevin Clash. As a teenager growing up in Baltimore in the 1970s, Clash had very different aspirations from his classmates — he wanted to be a puppeteer. More specifically, he wanted to be part of Jim Henson's team, the creative force responsible for delivering the magic of SESAME STREET. With a supportive family behind him, Clash made his dreams come true.
Combining archival footage with material from the present day, filmmaker Constance Marks explores Clash's story in vivid detail and chronicles the meteoric rise of Jim Henson in the process. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg and including interviews with Frank Oz, Rosie O'Donnell, Cheryl Henson, Joan Ganz Cooney and others, this insightful documentary offers up a rare, behind-the-scenes look at SESAME STREET and the Jim Henson legacy.

A mesmerizing Israeli documentary about a man who uncovers a trove of secrets in his grandparents's flat
The flat on the third floor of a Bauhaus building in Tel Aviv was where filmmaker Arnon Goldfinger's grandparents lived since they immigrated to Palestine in the 1930s. Were it not for the view from the windows, one might have thought that the flat was in Berlin. When his grandmother passed away at the age of 98 the family called to the flat to clear out what was left. Objects, pictures, letters and documents awaited us, revealing traces of a troubled and unknown past. The film which begins with the emptying out of a flat develops into a riveting adventure, involving unexpected national interests, a friendship that crosses enemy lines, and deeply repressed family emotions. And even reveals some secrets that should have probably remained untold. (Israel, 2011, 97 min., color, 35mm • In Hebrew & German with English subtitles • Director/writer: Arnon Goldfinger • Cast: Axel Milberg)
"A film that begins as a family quest but evolves into a gripping study of know-don't-tell reticence and the umbilical tie of a lost homeland." – Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES
"Goes from intriguing to astonishing by way of unfathomable." – Joe Morgenstern, WALL STREET JOURNAL
"**** 4 Stars! Ultimately, this is not a film about one specific event but about human nature – most notably, the instincts toward denial and delusion, acceptance and forgiveness. From start to finish, revelations abound." – Elizabeth Weitzman, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
"In families, this fascinating film suggests, acknowledging or denying the darker truths of one's legacy is a choice that must be made again and again, each and every day." – Chuck Wilson, VILLAGE VOICE

This recipe has been floating around the Midwest for some time - I always knew these as just "almond crackers" but apparently the real name is Nutty Cracker Delights.
The recipe sounds peculiar, but I'd eat these over a candy bar ANY day. They are crispy and just the right amount of sweet and salty. Perfect if you need an unexpected treat for a baby or bridal shower!
~ A. Snyder, A La Carte Staff
Nutty Cracker Delights
42 Club crackers
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 c. slivered almonds
Place crackers in a single layer in a foil-lined 15 in. X 10 in. x 1 in. baking pan. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add vanilla. Pour evenly over crackers; sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350 for 10-12 mins. or until lightly browned. Immediately remove from the pan, cutting between crackers if necessary, and cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 3 & 1/2 dozen

The upgraded gift will be sent in place of the first month's fruit delivery. Back when our founders, Harry and David Holmes, were first starting to sell their famous Southern Oregon grown Royal Riviera® Pears, there wasn't a way to have fresh fruit delivered over long distances. In order to fill the high demand for their top notch fresh fruit, Harry and David came up with a way to ship it across the country. That's when they came up with the idea of offering people a fruit delivery every month. They called it Fruit-of-the-Month Club®. And it's been a tradition here at Harry & David and for many families around the country ever since.
