"Publishers Weekly," Top 10 Cookbooks for Spring 2014 A butchery book you ll actually use. "Bon Appetit" Delivers everything you need to know about cutting and cooking meat. Martha Stewart Living The Meat Hook Meat Book really stands out amongst a sea of other meat-centric books out there. Playboy.com There are some things all men should know . . . let butcher Tom Mylan of the Meat Hook in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, be your guide to these meaty topics and more. Tasting Table Just when you thought you had enough meat books, The Meat Hook produces this fantastic book, oozing with juicy, meaty moments and excellent photos. Fergus Henderson, chef and author of The Complete Nose to Tail The Meat Hook Meat Book combines good storytelling and great technique from an originator of Brooklyn s young and electric food scene, and the creator of something much better than a store a community with rowdiness and heart. Ted Allen, host, Food Network s Chopped"
Buying large, unbutchered pieces of meat from a local farm or butcher shop means knowing where and how your food was raised, and getting meat that is more reasonably priced. It means getting what you want, not just what a grocery store puts out for sale—and tailoring your cuts to what you want to cook, not the other way around. For the average cook ready to take on the challenge, The Meat Hook Meat Book is the perfect guide: equal parts cookbook and butchering handbook, it will open readers up to a whole new world—start by cutting up a chicken, and soon you'll be breaking down an entire pig, creating your own custom burger blends, and throwing a legendary barbecue (hint: it will include The Man Steak—the be-all and end-all of grilling one-upmanship—and a cooler full of ice-cold cheap beer).
This first cookbook from meat maven Tom Mylan, co-owner of The Meat Hook, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is filled with more than 60 recipes and hundreds of photographs and clever illustrations to make the average cook a butchering enthusiast. With stories that capture the Meat Hook experience, even those who haven't shopped there will become fans.

Federal Law Is On Our Side
Shepard/Byrd Act Having Impact In Michigan
By Dawn Wolfe
Originally printed 3/7/2013 (Issue 2110 - Between The Lines News)
On Feb. 7 the U.S. Justice Department made Michigan history when Everett Avery plead guilty under the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, for assaulting Justin Alesna while shouting anti-gay slurs. Avery has the dubious distinction of being the first person in Michigan convicted under Shepard/Byrd - but if the U.S. Department of Justice has its way, he definitely won't be the last.
A Huge Difference
It wasn't that long ago when LGBT individuals had reason to expect little good to come from contact with law enforcement. As recently as the 1970s and 80s many local police departments seemed more interested in raiding gay bars and harassing LGBT individuals than protecting either. Even in the 1990s and 2000s it wasn't unusual for sexual minorities to feel as though local police departments were, at best, failing to make attacks against LGBT people a high priority.
In addition to overcoming anti-LGBT bias among some members of Michigan's police departments, the state's sexual minorities aren't protected under Michigan's hate crime statute. An attack like the one on Alesna can only be prosecuted as a simple assault, not as a hate-motivated crime under state law.
"At the state level, our laws do not recognize anti-LGBT motivated violence, so it has become imperative to work with local and state law enforcement agencies and officers to help educate them about hate violence directed at the LGBT communities," explained Equality Michigan's Director of Victim Services Yvonne Siferd. Equality Michigan has been advocating for victims of anti-LGBT bias crimes since its founding in 1991 as the then Triangle Foundation.
Since its 2009 passage, Shepard/Byrd has made Equality Michigan's job much easier. "Shepard/Byrd includes mechanisms to train and raise awareness among law enforcement on how to determine if a crime was a hate crime," Siferd continued. "As funding under the Act becomes available and is utilized, we anticipate there will be a noticeable increase in responsiveness among law enforcement."
That process has already begun, according to U.S. Attorney Pamela Thompson. "Since Shepard/Byrd was enacted, this office along with our partners in MIAAHC (the Michigan Alliance Against Hate Crimes - http://www.miaahc.com), have been conducting training and outreach to let the folks in state and local law enforcement know about this law," she said. "The training also provides information on the Michigan Ethnic Intimidation Act and the other federal hate crime laws, as well as information about investigating and reporting hate crimes."
"I think this training and outreach has been effective, and we have been getting referrals from local law enforcement." Thompson is the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted Avery.
The Avery case shows how much more is possible now that federal law is on the side of the LGBT communities.
"At that time (of the attack on Alesna), the federal legislation was so new and many seasoned law enforcement officials were unaware of how to handle anti-LGBT motivated violence," said Siferd. "On the date of the incident, officers from the Detroit Police Department were dispatched to the gas station where Justin was attacked. Though all witness accounts reported anti-gay slurs were used prior to and during the attack, the DPD initially noted the incident as a simple assault, with no hate/bias present. Equality Michigan worked closely with the DPD officers to educate them about Shepard/Byrd and its inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity as motivators for violent crime." Siferd added that the Detroit department was "very receptive" to her office's efforts.
Siferd next turned to the Department of Justice, "...(and they were) incredibly receptive and helpful," she reported. "Pam Thompson, the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted Justin Alesna's attacker, is wonderful to work with. She is energetic, passionate, and a terrific ally to the LGBTQ communities."
Next Steps
While Shepard/Byrd is not retroactive - meaning that the U.S. Attorney's Office can't investigate potential hate crime cases that occurred before the Oct. 1, 2009 signing of the bill - work is going forward in terms of training Michigan's law enforcement agencies regarding the impact of the new law. According to Thompson her office will be conducting hate crime trainings in Canton, Farmington Hills, and Grand Rapids in March and April.
In addition, her office and Equality Michigan will continue to work together to make sure that current hate crime victims receive justice; Thompson can't discuss details, but she did say that her office is currently investigating other potential hate-crime cases.
"Individuals in the LGBT community, and other communities that are the victims of hate crimes, are often reluctant to contact law enforcement directly, so we rely on advocacy groups like Equality Michigan to let us know when crimes like this one occur," Thompson said. "Equality Michigan has been an absolutely invaluable partner both in terms of letting us know immediately when these incidents happen (which is crucial for us in terms of the ability to conduct the investigation) and in their work with the victim throughout the investigation and prosecution."
Thompson added that victims are also welcome to contact the DoJ directly.
Resources For Victims Of Anti-LGBT Hate Crimes
Regardless of where you live in Michigan - and whether or not law enforcement your municipality is respectful and affirming of sexual minorities - you do have recourse if you are the victim of an anti-LGBT hate crime. Equality Michigan and the Department of Justice encourage victims to come forward, and there are multiple ways for victims to reach out for help.

Not Easy Being Greene: Graham Greene's Letters
Through numerous halfhearted suicide attempts and at least one round of electroshock therapy, Greene was relentlessly productive, as the chapters filled with his jobbing correspondence confirm. Hardly the cloistered novelist, Greene played a number of relatively public roles throughout his career, including film critic and book editor and later publisher, journalist and political advocate, but none less comfortably than that of professional Catholic. Sandwiched between The Power and the Glory and The End of the Affair is the engine of his Catholic trilogy, The Heart of the Matter, released to great acclaim in 1949. "It's all too fantastic," he wrote to Walston that year, "my books in every shop." Initially elated over the book's reception in the Catholic community, Greene worried about being pigeonholed by others and perhaps himself. Having courted this attention with Catholic-catnip plot twists (he later expressed regret, for instance, over Sarah's posthumous "miracles" in Affair), he was deeply ambivalent about his new status as an icon of the faith as well as the endless debates the trilogy's success inspired. Interestingly, in that same letter to Walston he mentions priests who "flock reverently around" him and indicates that the reading of Scobie as a modern martyr was more intentional--and closer to his own empathies--than he would later admit. "Though now of course I take the opposite view to Scobie," Greene writes, "that nobody can ruin another person." (Evelyn Waugh, who described Greene as having "great balls theologically," criticized Scobie's suicide as "either a very loose poetical expression or a mad blasphemy.")
Greene turncoat Anthony Burgess once noted that Greene had developed "a highly idiosyncratic version of Catholicism, which could even accommodate a probable absence of the deity." It's a charge these letters tend to bear out: whether he is invoking copyright technicalities to avoid amending foreign editions of The Power and the Glory (after an outraged cardinal denounced the book for its portrayal of the priesthood) or trying to convince Dayrell-Browning, for whom he would convert, that he could adopt her "ideal of celibacy," Greene's struggle with the faith is reflected in the way he seemed to shape his Catholic identity to suit not just his audience but his purpose. With the deeply pious Waugh, Catholicism was a hillocked common ground, one Greene traversed in his letters with an uncharacteristic deference, theological balls in check. With Walston, his faith was an exciting and treacherous playground--the thing that brought them together and would ultimately keep them apart--and some of his most breathtakingly contraindicated musing is found in the mingling of spiritual and physical passions she stirred in him. "Cafryn, dear," he writes in 1947, "I want to kiss you, touch you, make love to you--& simply sit in a car & be driven by you.... I nearly slept at Mass today. How dead it was--not dead in the amusing phosphorescent way of last Sunday, aware of your shoulder half an inch from mine, but just limp & meaningless & boring. I'm not even a Catholic properly away from you."
Green was inscrutable in his faith as in so many other things; over time his letters suggest a life of dedicated churchgoing despite a seemingly untenable relationship with the church. Ultimately he may have been more of a cradle Catholic--prone to doubt but enthralled by the church's sacred mysteries; preferring the familial culture of the faith to its isolating dogmatic rigors--than his critics allowed. Greene was greatly disillusioned by the Second Vatican Council, which abolished the Latin liturgy and moved the church away from some of the strict theological tenets that converts seemed to hold especially dear (Greene felt that his friend Waugh, who died in 1966, was literally heartbroken by the event). In later years he remained critical but, like so many ambivalent Catholics, still attended Mass once or twice a month. In a 1978 letter to a fan, he wrote: "When I rather hastily said that if I was young today I would not become a Catholic I think I meant that the differences between the Christian beliefs were becoming less and less.... Our idea of transubstantiation has become far less physical and more philosophical." It took a few decades, but "Catholic agnostic" is the designation he settled on; it's an apt obfuscation, and he stuck with it.
"I'm writing a small bit of autobiography myself," Greene wrote to the poet George Barker in 1967, referring to what would become A Sort of Life, the memoir of his childhood that his psychoanalyst urged him to begin as a rampart against the massive breakdown Greene feared his deep depression in the late 1950s might portend. "It's something to fall back on when the imagination begins to fail. No more disgusting to my mind than old age itself." And yet, as the sheer volume of his surviving letters insists, Greene wrote his autobiography--self-disgust be damned--every day of his life, with a nomadic imagination and coiled moral introspection that is, in brief but sky-opening flashes, equal to his fiction. That he knew this and must have known that we would someday know it too is perhaps the determinedly elusive Greene's final, refractive jest.

THE STRUCTURE OF A FIVE PARAGRAPH ESSAY In most college composition classes, you are asked to write a "five paragraph" essay. This is a very rigid format, the likes of which you will rarely see in the "real world." However it is a useful exercise, something like doing "school figures" in ice skating, as it mimics the natural form of ANY kind of writing -- it has a beginning, middle, and an end -- and allows the beginning writer to feel "safer" as he or she ventures into the dangerous world of choosing from a practically infinite number of words and word combinations, what to put on the paper, and how. ALL good writing follows this format in that it does have an introduction, no matter how informal; a main point, whether implied or stated; a body of evidence to prove one's point; and a conclusion, if only a sentence or two that adds a note of finality. Following is a description of the five paragraph format; your essays for this class do not have to follow this to the letter, nor do they have to be exactly five paragraphs. I offer this to you in case you feel more comfortable with greater direction at first in this class. Take from it what is valuable to you. INTRODUCTION (1 paragraph) Catch the reader's attention. Preview the main topic of discussion. Direct the composition towards the thesis. State your main point (your thesis statement). The thesis should: Organize the main topic by providing a map for the reader (also known as the three- point thesis). Control the logic and scope of the composition. Be only ONE sentence. Use parallel grammatical structure. BODY (3 paragraphs) Have a topic sentence for each paragraph usually found at the beginning of the paragraph that states the main idea of the paragraph and one aspect of the thesis. Each topic sentence should clearly relate back to your thesis and support it Use specific examples and details to prove your topic sentence: these can be facts, examples, description, anecdotes, relevant events, expert or eyewitness testimony, logical reasoning. Use transitions to show relationships between ideas; put sentences in logical order so essay is easy to follow and makes sense CONCLUSION (1 paragraph) Do any of the following: Sum up main points, OR give results of a chain of reasoning, OR stimulate the reader to act, OR give an emotional appeal, OR state the implications of findings... Add a sense of finality to essay

Ottawa threatens to use courts in bid to get CBC tax evasion list
National Revenue Minister Gail Shea says tax evasion is illegal and the media has an obligation to provide her department with any information about suspected illegal activity.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
HALIFAX—Ottawa will use the courts to try to get the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to hand over leaked data naming people who have allegedly used offshore tax havens, National Revenue Minister Gail Shea said Tuesday.
Shea said she has asked the CBC for the information but it has refused, so now the department will pursue legal means in a bid to get the list.
"We will pursue any legal options that we do have to obtain the list and we are working with the United States and our other international partners to do so," she said in an interview.
Shea said tax evasion is illegal and the media has an obligation to provide the department with any information about suspected illegal activity, which she said the CBC's stories suggest is a possibility.
Asked what specific laws apply, Shea said that will be left to the department's legal experts.
The CBC is the sole Canadian member of the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which has refused to give Ottawa a list that it says includes 450 Canadians.
CBC spokesman Chuck Thompson said the public broadcaster cannot divulge its sources or the data, and it will defend itself in court if necessary.
"Like the other members of the ICIJ, our responsibility is to tell the story," Thompson said in an interview. "As a journalistic organization and as a matter of journalistic principle, CBC doesn't reveal sources nor any related background information."
Detailed financial information of several thousand individuals from around the world was leaked to the consortium, which shared it with other media outlets.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has promised to crack down on tax cheats. His recent budget included a program to stop international tax evasion by offering financial rewards for tips to the Canada Revenue Agency if an investigation bears fruit.
Flaherty said the goal is to bring in hundreds of millions of new tax dollars.
Canadians are already required by law to report any offshore holdings worth more than $100,000 to the Canada Revenue Agency.

Tigers rule out Johnson return
ESPNscrum Staff
November 16, 2011
Johnson will not return to Welford Road in the near future according to Peter Tom © Getty Images
Leicester Tigers executive chairman Peter Tom has poured cold water on the suggestion of Martin Johnson returning to Welford Road.
Johnson stepped down from his post as England team manager on Wednesday and with the Tigers struggling in the Aviva Premiership, the World Cup winning captain may have been open to returning to Welford Road. But Tom, who was speaking before Johnson's resignation, cannot see a role for the former Tiger at Leicester.
"Martin has to decide whether he wants to stay on with England or step down," Tom told the Leicester Mercury. "If he does step down, I would expect he would want some time away from the game. And it would be difficult to see what position we would have available for him.
"We have got a great director of rugby in Richard Cockerill, and I always saw Martin as more of a general manager than coach. We are also actively looking for a chief executive and have a firm conducting that search for us.
"I am hoping we would have some candidates to speak to in the New Year so it is tough to see where Martin could fit in."

SAO PAULO (AP) — An injury to captain Vincent Kompany saved coach Marc Wilmots one decision ahead of Belgium's last group match, but may cause him more concern further into the World Cup.
Captain Kompany ruled out of World Cup group match
Kompany led Belgium to victories over Algeria and Russia to qualify for the second round with a game to spare, the only blemish being a nagging groin strain that kept the Manchester City captain sidelined for a few days of training.
Barely half an hour into the last training session on the eve of Thursday's game against South Korea at Sao Paulo, Kompany had to withdraw again and even skipped a planned media appearance.
"He will not be able to play," Wilmots said late Wednesday, adding that defender Thomas Vermaelen will be out as well with a hamstring injury.
The two injuries "are not very serious but we want to keep them fresh and they won't play against South Korea."
Still, Kompany has a long history of injuries, and his absence in the buildup to the second-round game will further raise uncertainties about Belgium's preparedness for its first knockout game.
Wilmots said Kompany started feeling pain and immediately stopped training, trying to avoid aggravating the injury.
"It hurt a bit and he over-exercised perhaps a bit," Wilmots said.
Kompany is expected to have several days of special medical care to get ready for the second round.
His injury will likely give Nicolas Lombaerts his first appearance at the World Cup, joining 36-year-old veteran Daniel Van Buyten at the heart of the defense.

Unfortunately this is a manufactured crisis by Gov. Walker. The budget was balanced before he took office. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/02/wisconsin-gov-walker-ginned-u...
This post is essentially dishonest. First Wisconsin doesn't have an actual budget crisis, and second it is based entirely on tortured logic, false statements, and strawmen.
The people of Wisconsin knew what they were voting for in 2010.
If the public employees don't like the law, they can always move to a state that has laws they can live with.
(At least that's the explanation - mobility - used in Free Exchange.)
Perhaps Walker knew early on that he'd be sending the police out to search for the missing legislators?
As a Rockfordian myself, I'm pleased to hear they spent some money in this city. The city right now is between a rock and a hard place: high unemployment, atrocious public schools, 60 heroin related deaths in the past two years, et cetera. MSNBC even shot their documentary "Inside a Crack House" in Rockford (see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40766480).
Rockford does have some bright spots though, and our mayor is a Notre Dame Law School educated Independent.
I seem to have gone off on a tangent; this post seems mostly concerned about Wisconsin... Ehh, they're just a bunch of cheese-heads.
The most important statement in your post is also the most suspect: "...[E]ven when union-negotiated benefits packages threaten to wreak fiscal devastation upon state and municipal budgets."
Is this really the case? Especially if we exempt public safety unions as the Governor of Wisconsin is doing? What about the reluctance of Republican legislatures to ever raise taxes, even when it is necessary to fund popular government-provided services? Is that not a larger "threat to wreak fiscal devastation upon state and municipal budgets"?
I'm sorry but I must have missed something here: how exactly does resticting or forbidding public-sector union help to balance the budget? Is it because then no union will be there to ask for a raise? But that's only a possibility in the future, not a certainty. So, again, how does that help the budget hic et nunc?
Scott Walker should offer the protesters free passage to France. They'd clearly be more comfortable there.

War Diary
By Daniel Hubbard | June 22, 2014
We got an email from Germany this week. It said that after 2 1/2 years of work, they had finished the graphic novel that contains part of my children's great-grandfather's diary from WWI. The goal is to interest young people in their history, something that we as family historians deal with often. It tells the story of the war that was supposed to end all wars through the eyes and with the words of four people who experienced it—two french, two German, two soldiers, two civilians.
It amazes me not just that we still have those diaries a century later. It amazes me that he kept notes under the conditions that he did and that they survived the rain, the mud, the shooting and the panic.
It is not always easy for people to comprehend their past. The younger we are, the harder it can be. In some cases we should be glad when it seems so alien to us. The First World War should seem unthinkable, but we still need to understand the unthinkable in our past. Having grown up in the Midwest, I had seen the occasional Civil War statues and plaques in village squares here and there. I have visited Gettysburg with its seemingly never ending monuments. When I moved to France, I soon got the feeling that every village had its monument with name after name running down the sides. It felt familiar and yet more intense, especially knowing that there were people alive at the time who could remember those men whose names were written there.
The email contained a link to a part of a German television program that discussed the book. It was, as I expected, an extraordinary experience to see images of my wife's grandfather. They were drawn both to tell his story and to let his story represent so many other stories. I felt an even more personal connection when I saw a couple images, made on our scanner, being used to tell a story far bigger than those pictures. Not all family history works that way but it is amazing how often our "little" stories tell stories far, far bigger than themselves.
You can watch the video "Tagebuch:14-18″ (Diary: 1914-1918). Even if you don't understand German, the pictures convey quite a bit and I can almost imagine that the speaker's tone at the beginning conveys, "History? What has that got to do with us?" even if you don't understand that he is saying exactly that.
In the end, I was reminded of a line spoken in a Ken Burns documentary that I can paraphrase as something like—sometimes we do things to each other that serve to turn us into the kind of people that can no longer imagine how such things were possible.Twitter It!

Nature vs Nurture
By Daniel Hubbard | June 15, 2014
I'm getting ready to give a talk about understanding the use of DNA in genealogical research. It is one thing to just jump right into DNA. It is another to wrap your head around it.
One thing I've realized is that I need to point out that there are two types parental role. There is the biological role and the upbringing role—nature and nurture. We are used to those roles being one and the same but they aren't always. The documents that we use have the potential to tell us about both roles. DNA can only tell us about the people who filled the nature role.
That can be a powerful difference. DNA is not ambiguous about which role is which, as documents can be. Nature is in the DNA, nurture is not. Yet it can also lead down a path that is not truly correct. Once we think that we can use DNA to answer questions like, "Who was his real father?" we have started down that wrong path. The parent that raised a child is just as real as the parent that helped to create the child. Genes are one thing, years of nurturing are another, very real thing. If we are really doing family history, then those parents who filled the nurture role without filling the nature role are people that we need to research, even if they did not pass on their genes to us. Who they were, how they were brought up, who shaped them and raised those that shaped them, are all important influences. They are people who might have made an ancestors life totally different from what it would have been.
DNA can help to unravel the pairs of people who filled the biological role and usually, that tells us about the nurture role as well. Nevertheless, if those biological ancestors aren't the same as the ones who filled the nurture role, then DNA is silent. In that case, DNA's strength can become a weakness if we make it so. We make it so if we think that the flow of genes is all that we are researching.Twitter It!

Washing Hogs
By Daniel Hubbard | June 8, 2014
I didn't start out to write a two part post but this post has become part 2 of last weeks about the nonfiction contract.
What inspired this post, and last week's as well, are a couple of recent run-ins with some nineteenth century "nonfiction." Clearly standards were different over one hundred years ago and the distance created by a century helps us see the nonfiction contract breaking as well. How much credence would you give a work on a surname that begins with page after page about how the people of that name all descend from a specific tribe mentioned in the writings of Julius Caesar? How believable is the story of a son about whom nothing is known except that he left many descendants, who is the only child of a mysterious first wife whose death is assumed because it was unrecorded and, by the way, no record of the marriage is known either? If you intended for the reader to believe that, you wouldn't word it the way I just did but even dressed up nicely and stretched out for several paragraphs, the hogwash alarms sound. The contract is clearly broken. The reader moves on. Anyone can write hogwash but clearly it does not age as well as careful writing based on equally careful research.
Those examples are real but one need not take the full plunge into pure hogwash to break the nonfiction contract. So, what happens if you break the nonfiction contract? It is actually an easy question to answer. If the casual reader catches you, then they will stop believing you. That is the kiss of death for a piece of writing meant to convey information to them. The story might be worth reading but part of that worth is that it is reality. They started to read with the understanding that those little bits of information that they might pickup along the way are factual and that the story is giving them insight into actual occurrences, not the author's imagination. If they are given reason to doubt, then why should they read?
If a family historian reads your nonfiction narrative, they should already be doubting you. That, though, is a constructive doubt. It ought to be the doubt of a real researcher who wants to go find the evidence for your statements for themselves. If you break the nonfiction contract, the doubt becomes the kind of doubt that means that what you have written may be judged as not being worth the trouble to check. For your writing, that is once again the kiss of death.

The Nonfiction Contract
By Daniel Hubbard | June 1, 2014
We research our ancestors to learn the facts about them, about their lives, their times, the places they lived, their occupations, and travels. The list, as they say, goes on. First we gather documents that are clearly relevant. Then we gather documents that are more subtly related to our ancestors. Though we may never finish collecting evidence, after a time we have enough to move on. We start to deeply analyze the evidence. We start to combine little clues into bigger conclusions. We know what we think happened here and why we think a path went untaken there.
Eventually, it is not enough to have the information locked up in our files, our databases, our heads. How do we communicate it? We know more than just the evidence. In research the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. We have our conclusions and our hypotheses. To pass those things along we need to write. Not just any writing will interest a grandchild or a cousin or some relative who has not even been born. So we write stories. We try to make them interesting. we try to make them flow. They are not just any stories, either.
We write nonfiction not fiction. The line between them can be a fuzzy one but we need to make it sharp and then we cannot cross it. The writer has an unwritten contract, the nonfiction contract, with the reader. The writer can infer but not invent. The reader places their trust in the veracity of the words on the page. The writer cannot violate that trust. If the writer has reason to believe but does not know, that is what must be communicated to the reader. If the evidence is unclear or contradictory and simply cannot be reconciled, the reader ought to taste that mystery as well, not be fed false clarity. I often find as I write the stories of people's families that I could easily make a story flow and grab the reader but it is easy only if I subtly imply that things are known that are not known. In some cases the written lines themselves might be correct but lead the reader to places between the lines that are simply not quite right. I can also easily tell the story that is factually perfect but that trips over itself as it dots its "i's" and crosses its "t's." Much of the craft of writing the stories that rise from the facts that we uncover is to present the facts, the probabilities and the possibilities so that the reader knows the difference between them at the same time they are drawn in by the narratives of long-gone, reconstructed lives. Or, perhaps, to lead the reader to a possibility without ever stating it, without ever implying that it is fact, and letting them realize what might have happened for themselves.
When we pass on our research, we need to engage but we also need to be aware of the promise that we make to the reader. We have that contract, the nonfiction contract, with them. The reader must be able to trust that they are reading the facts as best we know them. They need to know the difference between the certainties and the likelies.

It is a long weekend in the U.S. The one that traditionally starts the summer. For many it is a weekend for getting into the car and driving, sometimes down expressways, sometimes down smaller, winding roads.
As a child one of the things that fascinated me about driving vacations was how once one returned to familiar places, those places seemed different, as if they had been transformed. Apparently part of any feeling of familiarity or strangeness that one experiences in the moment is actually something that has lingered. That still fascinates me.
I have that same experience when observing "now" after researching the past. Returning to the present after poring over places at times when they had no names except for the names of the creeks that flowed through them is a return without familiarity. Returning from a world of canals and towpaths or watermills and grindstones is a return without familiarity. The past lingers and, for a little while, the present seems so strange.Twitter It!

Records Evolve
By Daniel Hubbard | May 18, 2014
Records evolve. Some records are created to preserve specific information. These certainly change over time. Go far enough back in time and death records might not give the cause of death, something you expect to see today.
Other records are created to gather statistics. These, it seems, evolve much faster. If one simply wants to know the population of a place one might just count. With enough people that can go seriously wrong. Maybe you might count the number of people in each household then add. That's better and you'd be less likely to lose count but you have no way of knowing if two households with 4 people are really the same one counted twice. You need a way to label each household. You might use one person's name. Nevertheless, you might want to know how old the people in the household are. Instead of writing a list of ages, you could count how many 0-10-year-olds there are and how many 11-20-year-olds there are in each household. You'd probably end up dividing the age groups by gender as well. After all, if you wan to figure out how big an army you could have now or how big it might be in the near future, it is the number of males that you'd want to know. If you want to figure out how much the population might grow, then it is most useful to know the number of females in different age groups.
As time goes on, you might realize that you could really use more accurate age information so you make smaller and smaller age categories until it takes a lot of space just to write out the categories and then most of them will be empty for most households. At that point, you might decide that it would be simpler to write down everyone's name and age. That would make it less likely to count someone twice. After all, how do you know if Johnny Doe wasn't a 6-10 year-old son in one household and a 6-10-year-old nephew in another? You would also need just one space for the age. Do you really need exact ages though? Maybe it would be good enough to round the ages down to the nearest multiple of 5? On the other hand, why do all that rounding? Rounding a number is easy but rounding the 600th number when you're tired can go wrong. Maybe the exact age would be best anyway.
You might also want to know how people are moving around. It could be good to ask them where they were born but not too accurately. We don't need a street name. Maybe we could ask what part of the country someone was from. Maybe we could ask if they were from this part of the country or any other part or another country all together. Perhaps it would be interesting to know where someone's parents were born? That would help to understand migrations. How about asking where someone lived before they came to the place where they are now?
All That Has Been Tried
Every one of those evolutionary steps occurred in census taking somewhere. At first it can seem mysterious. Why would information be recorded that way? Then you stop and think about it. Information costs. The more information you gather, the more you have to process. The more fine grained the information, the more work it is to gather it into statistically useful chunks. From that perspective, it seems obvious to try to gather at little as possible and gather it in a way that is already in those statistically useful chunks.
Soon you start to realize that there are problems with that strategy. If you gather very little information, you have very little way to decide if you have recorded someone once and only once. So you gather a bit more. You also realize that if you gather it in chunks that are too large (Say, every male over the age of 44 in one age group as in early U.S. censuses), then you might have questions that you can't answer. So you evolve your census by adding age groups until you realize that you've taken it to such an extreme that it would be more efficient to get the exact information (It took 4 ledger pages to contain all the categories of the 1840 U.S. census). If you decided to kill two birds with one stone and try to minimize double counting by taking down everyone's name and get rid of the age categories by taking down exact age, then you end up with something like the 1850 U.S. Census. That wasn't the only way to go. You could take down everyone's name but round the ages. You wouldn't need all those category boxes but you would get the ages in 5-year-wide categories if you rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5 as was done in the 1841 census of Great Britain.
What about place of birth? First, until you take down every name you can't really take down everyone's place of birth. There might have been an intermediate stage where "unnamed 17 year-old male" was recorded as being born in New York, or some such thing but I don't know that any census ever worked that way as a rule. The problem with places in the census has always been the level of detail to record. In the U.S. Federal census, the solution was always state or country of birth. New York chose to be more accurate and recorded the county of birth (if born in New York) in some of their state censuses. That greater accuracy when close to home is a philosophy that comes up in both census taking and in our everyday speech. When we are far from home, naming the closest big city to where we live is close enough.
In Britain there was an intermediate step before simply writing down the name of a place. In 1841 people were asked if they were born within the county where they were currently living. The meaning of a "yes" is clear and you learn the county of birth. The meaning of a "no" is not so clear. That meant that they were currently living within the U.K. country (e.g. Scotland) where they were born but not the same county. If a person was living in a different country of the U.K. from where they were born, there would be no answer at all. Instead the next column over would name the country or, if the person was born outside the U.K. it would simply indicate that the person was foreign. That probably came to seem both confusing and prone to error. Ten years later, exact town and county of birth started to be recorded but they followed the same thinking as the State of New York. That accuracy was only achieved close to home. If you were born in a different country of the U.K. from where you were living, exact information would not be recorded for many years.
What about other locations? The U.S. Federal census started to record parents' places of birth in 1880 and recorded that until 1930. In 1940 only a subset of people had that information recorded. Who recorded where a person came from immediately before they came to where they were living? Kansas asked that question for a while when many people in their state census were likely to have come to Kansas from outside.Twitter It!

Not Quite Gone
By Daniel Hubbard | May 11, 2014
I found a reference to a man, Anders, that I was researching. It was a reference to his drowning. I checked the death registers for the date that was given and sure enough, he was listed. So were two other men. There was a note squeezed into the margin. It was hard to read but the meaning was clear. Three farmers had gone out onto the lake in a boat on an early winter day and none of them survived. They were all buried the same day, longer than normal after they died, a hint that perhaps it had taken time to recover the bodies. On the date that he was buried, I found that Anders's wife gave birth to his final child, a boy she named Anders. A sad and simple story of the kind that just waits for a genealogist to rediscover it.
The day after I discovered that story, it nearly slipped away again. My computer became hot and, unless I squeezed it in just the right way, the screen shimmered pink. Stories, facts, data and little details can all disappear. With a new computer and plenty of backups of the old one, nothing was lost. Data recovery is not always so easy.
Sometimes not everything is backed up but even bringing a little back can bring a thrill. If you ever do Irish research, you know just how much was lost there—so many records burned, destroyed as unnecessary, or reduced to pulp to make new paper. The 1821, 1831, 1841 and 1851 censuses are commonly regarded as having been totally lost during the Irish Civil War. Yet in some few cases there was a backup here and a document that survived there and and now the National Archives of Ireland has gathered and collated what remains of censuses enumerated almost two centuries ago.
Other information from those censuses survived in a different way. In 1908 a new pension system was instituted in the United Kingdom. To prove their ages, many wrote for extracts from the 1841 and 1851 censuses. Their names, ages, places of birth and parents still survive in those extracts even if the census returns themselves are long gone. Now what remains of those four censuses and the extracts made from them is online. They are both dazzling to see and saddening to see because they make clear how much information was lost. At least they are not quite gone.

I is for Identity
By Daniel Hubbard | May 4, 2014
Identity must be one of the most fascinating facets of genealogy.
Isak and Ovra where recorded twice as parents. Those were the names that were written into the birth registers. When one of their sons died the information about his parents matched Isak and Ovra with one exception, their names. Ignatz and Charlotte were the dead man's parents. So much for Isak and Ovra as the identities of the parents.
Isak and Ovra lived in Austria. Ignacz and Lotti were found in Hungary. So much for Isak and Ovra as the parents.
Living with Ignacz and Lotti were their two sons—sons with the same names and years of birth as the sons of Isak and Ovra. Interesting. Nevertheless Ignacz and Lotti's boys were born at Bécs. Isak and Ovra's boys were born in Vienna. So they can't be the same.
The only question left is the identity of Bécs. Bécs is Hungarian for Vienna. Isak is Ignatz. Ovra is Lotti. Lotti's American descendants knew her as Charlotte and her son and his descendants gave his place of birth as Vienna. Identity can be a subtle and mysterious thing.Twitter It!

Pushing the Limits
By Daniel Hubbard | April 27, 2014
There is something special about those times when records don't simply stop but fade. Times long enough ago that identity was seen differently. A man is not known by two names but by one name and the place where he lived. When his child was born, all that was recorded was the date, his given name and the place. No mother. No name for the child. Not even the child's gender, just the date, the place and the father.
In more recent times the wonder of genealogy often comes from reconstructing lives and resurrecting stories. Out at the edge of what is possible, the wonder comes from being able to see through the fog of time just well enough to know a single mysterious name. So many people who will never have their lives reconstructed stand out there at the limit. A vast multitude like the masked chorus of an ancient Greek play. We hear them as one because we cannot hear them separately.
Connections are there but they hang by a thread, tenuously.Twitter It!

A Pope Watches the Sky
By Daniel Hubbard | April 21, 2014
The full Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of our world. We see the full face of the Moon illuminated by the Sun because as we turn up our eyes to the Moon, the Sun is shining from below our feet, lighting up the far side of the Earth. This month we were treated to the most spectacular sort of full Moon. The Sun and the Moon were not just roughly in opposite directions, they were in exactly opposite directions. The Moon passed through the Earth's shadow and grew darker and darker until it turned sunset red. That moment when the entire Moon seems to turn to blood is the time when it is most obvious that the moment of the full Moon has been reached.
The full Moon this month is also special because it is the one that defines when Easter is celebrated and it is problems with the calculation of Easter that gave us the modern (Gregorian) calendar. Every genealogist and historian who has researched in a time and place before the arrival of the modern calendar or in a culture where it is only one of the calendars in use, needs to learn to navigate the transitions from one way of looking at time to another.
So, how does the Moon help determine Easter's date. Easter is defined as the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Well, that is what is often said and it is approximately true but we need to make a few corrections.
The first correction, and it is perhaps a bit of nit picking is that "vernal" means spring and anyone living south of the equator might be justified in complaining that Easter takes place in the fall, not the spring. Either March equinox or Northern vernal equinox might be a better term.
Then what about the word "equinox"? The term means when day and night are equal. "Equinox" comes from Latin words meaning "equal night." More accurately though, the equinox occurs at the particular moment when the sun is directly above a point on the Earth's equator. The date that this moment occurs in any given year depends on where you are on the globe and can be one day different depending on your position. If that one day shift mattered, then people in some places might be celebrating Easter more than a month earlier than people in other locations. In the end though, that turns out not to happen. For purposes of computation the equinox isn't actually used. Instead of the true equinox, which can occur on different dates in different years and on different dates depending on where you are on the Earth, the date March 21 is used. No need to observe the Sun, just use a calendar.
That calendar based solution works well as long as March 21 always occurs about when the equinox occurs. If your calendar drifts, you eventually have problems. The old Julian calendar drifted three days every 400 years. That might not seem like much but eventually Easter began to occur later and later in the year. At different times in different places, Pope Gregory's calendar replaced the calendar of Julius Caesar. Days were dropped from years to bring the calendar back into synchronization with the Sun.
Full Moon
The second group of corrections has to do with the Moon. We think of the full Moon occurring on a specific day but of course, as we realized when thinking about lunar eclipses, the Moon is actually full at one precise moment. The problems with the full Moon are the same as the problems with the equinox. For the purpose of setting the date of Easter, the date of the full Moon is set by mathematical tables. The moment when the Moon is truly full may happen on the day given in the tables or a few days before or after.
Does it Make a Difference?
It certainly matters to the day you celebrate Easter. This year (2014) is special because Western churches (using updated calculations) and Orthodox churches (using original calculations) celebrate Easter on the same day. That last happened in 2011 and won't happen again until 2017. As the Julian and Gregorian calendars drift apart it will happen less and less. April 24, 2698 will be the last time that the same date is used by both groups. Already now, the dates of Easter can be as much as 5 weeks apart.
To the genealogist and the historian, it makes a difference. The calendar is our map of time. Use the wrong map and we are lost, though we will think we know where, or rather when, we are. In different places, different cultures and different times, the calendar has been and still is different from what we expect. If you have ancestors from different Christian denominations, then what records with dates based on Easter, or any holy day related to Easter, can mean very different dates. In 1584, the second year after the new calendar began to be adopted, Catholics celebrated Easter on a date four weeks different than other groups. In some areas of Europe the changes made to the lunar tables were accepted decades after the change to the calendar, leading to still more dates for Easter.
There was no one map of time. There was, in fact, a giant atlas.

Author Notes: These vegan macaroons are rich with chocolate and warming, cozy chai spices.They're pretty good for you too. All the more reason to have more than just one with tea? I think so. - Laura Wright | The First Mess
Makes 30
- 3 cups dried, unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond meal
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup water
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup liquid extra virgin coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the coconut, chia seeds, cocoa powder, almond meal, sea salt, spices and water. Stir to combine thoroughly. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract and stir again until fully combined and no dry cocoa powder/almond meal remains.
- Cover and place dough/mixture into the fridge for about 15 minutes. The chia seeds do their thing and really bind the mix, making it much easier and less messy to scoop.
- Drop heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture onto a parchment lined sheet. No need to space them out too much. Place them in the oven and bake for about 2 hours or until firm and dry on the outside.

ORIGINAL is more than a conference; it is a movement of women who desire to live up to their God-given potential.
At our core, we exist to inspire and equip women to live a life that is purposeful, centered, passionate, true and original. We believe that every woman has a special set of gifts, within a unique sphere of influence, and when she fully understands God's design and plan for her life, her possibilities become truly endless.
Galatians 5:25-26 (MSG): "Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts but work out its implications in every detail of our lives (PURPOSEFUL). That means we will not compare ourselves with each other as if one of us were better and another worse (CENTERED). We have far more interesting things to do with our lives (PASSIONATE). Each of us is an original (TRUE, ORIGINAL)."

We all know how hard it can be finding that perfect gift for your dad, or husband. Here are a few good ideas to help you find something good for your dad or the father figure in your life.
1.)Shave and a haircut - get him a gift certificate to his favorite barbershop or coiffeur. To make it extra special, get him the Works complete with a barber shave- find a place that gives the old-school hot towel & straight blade service, there's nothing better.
Here in LA, there is Denver-based Floyd's Barbershop is a solid option. The shop is wrapped in Rock n' roll posters, the haircuts are straight-forward and the shaves & 30 second shoulder massages are memorable.
2.) Rejuvenate - maybe dad will appreciate a good massage or yoga class. The key is to find a place that comes close to fitting his sensibility, the key is to give him an experience he will be open too. Not every dad will appreciate being thrown into a two-hour yoga class, if so- it is a wonderful way for him to re-boot.
Locally, my preference is Burke Williams Spa for massage in Santa Monica, or Exhale in Venice for yoga.
3.)Give him the Gift of Food - Maybe the guy appreciates a good BBQ, most do. Introduce him to different type of BBQ. Get him a gift certificate to a Korean BBQ restaurant, Southern BBQ or Brazilian BBQ.
4.) A Night Out - Maybe he likes bowling, or likes to shoot pool or maybe catch the game on the big screen. Package a night out with a (handmade) coupons to the local bowling lanes, that auto show coming to town or find the place with the best pool tables in town and pre-pay a night out for him. The idea is to treat him to a night he may not normally indulge in.
5.)Booty Bucks - Wives can take advantage of my article from last year and download printable 'Booty Bucks'. They only come in denominations of '10′ so you will have to be creative when giving change.
