best upwind?
what will be the best way to sail upwind on a slalom board ? lets say a 105 ltrs 65 wide,38 fin as an example on a 6,7 sail for a given wind. is it better to try hold a 7,2 whith bigger fin? are you gaining upwind by beeing overpowered? mastfoot to the front or back? harnes lines short or long? I will lioke to read as much tips as possible regard juan1 |

Hi Juan, overpowering might not be the ultimate secret but underpowering is definitely not good. A well powered sail with a small fin does better than an unpowered sail with a big fin. Of course the fin shall not be too small. My own findings are that the length in dm shall not be much smaller than half the surface in sqm. For instance I use a 43 cm fin with a 7.3 sqm sail on a 103 L / 64 cm wide board in light conditions (12/15 Knts). In stronger wind (15/18 Knts) I just flatten the sail, put a 36 cm fin and it goes upwind as well. At a steady18 Knts I will then change the sail to a 6.5 or 6 sqm and keep the same fin till ~20/22 Knts, then go for a 32 cm fin. Mastfoot in the front will help the rail to bite and compensate for a curved fin, but you need to have some volume in the middle. Rear straps outside helps a lot just by making it easier to balance the sail pressure. Long lines and/or low boom do not prevent me from pointing up provided that there is enough wind. Hope this helps...

just a small note...
from my own experince:
A lot overpowered helps not...if you have to open the sail to hold the windstregth it will not be easy to go upwind at all. To me the best setup is: sail to be a little more than well powered when completely sheeted in, fin big enough (to me 2 cm bigger than smaller is always better), and definetely the straps in outer position. The mast foot in front helps but I don't like on my boards. It also depends how you put your weighth into the sail (try to bend in your weist till you find out the optimum angle between body and legs for going upwind). It takes some time till you figure it out... Ciao M. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.soulrider.com |

Body position for going up wind: rake the sail, close the gap and most important try to get you upper body forward that means almost your head ahaead of the mast, of course feet in straps. Looks difficult but works. In other words, all the body forward but both arms raking the sail. Hope this helps.

body position...
principialy it's right, but...
putting your body extremely forward leads to decrease the pressure on the fin (the direction in which your leg is pressing the fin). This decreases the effectivity of the fin and the going upwind will not be so good and you loose a lot of your speed too. I also like more when the sail is more upright, to allow this you have to strech your legs (more weight on the back one), keep the upper part of your body firm and the necessary weight you have to put on your boom set by putting your bottom lower. PS: the weight forward is correct. Just do not do it in an extreme way or you loose a lot of speed and fin pressure as well. ciao M. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- www.soulrider.com |

many times I doubt if its better to stay raked back whith presure on the fin and railed , so going upwind whith speed trying to fly on the fin or stay forward pushing down the boom and get better angle...but whith lower speed

You can stay forward while keeping pressure on the fin. Once you've found the right settings of the boom/lines bending the front leg will move your body forward and close the angle between sail and board. This will increase pressure on the back automatically. Again you need to be well powered (or a bit more) with fin big enough.

Farlo, agree 100% with you, planing well powered up closing the gap, body forward and arms back and you'll see how you get a lot of upwind with speed.

Hello Juan, look at this. The gear is old but the position is the same: back leg in extension, front leg bent, body forward, arms back. Also you will notice the sail upright and the front foot ahead of the strap to keep the board flat on water across the chops. He was going upwind and faster than the other guy behind.

Quality and accuracy are the bywords when it comes to Swiss watches and luxury watches. And within this elite universe, TAG Heuer timepieces are in a league all their own. With both innovative design and advanced technology, they go far beyond luxury timepieces or sports watches – they are a class unto themselves.
By combining manual craftsmanship with the best, most advanced technology, TAG Heuer ladies' and men's watches perpetuate a remarkable legacy while encouraging quality and innovation. Entirely modern and eternally refined, a TAG Heuer watch is more than mere aesthetics. Its automatic watches possess high frequencies ranging from 21,600 vibrations per hour to up to 360,000 (as with the Calibre 360) – a guarantee of outstanding mechanical precision. A number of its automatic watch movements thus bear the prestigious Official Swiss Chronometer Control (C.O.S.C.) certificate.
Unsurprisingly, TAG Heuer chronograph watches are recognised as the height of Swiss watch precision. The official timekeeper of one of the world's most celebrated races, the Monaco Grand Prix, TAG Heuer is also the partner of both Oracle Team USA – winner of the prestigious America's Cup – and Formula 1 automotive manufacture McLaren, in the ultimate pact of speed and timekeeping precision.
TAG Heuer timepieces likewise astound aesthetically: created by expert specialists, these luxury Swiss watches harmoniously combine the best noble materials, such as sinuous calfskin or refined alligator leather, exquisite solid gold or strong stainless steel, at times accenting them with more modern, innovative materials, like high-tech rubber or contemporary fabric. In doing so, TAG Heuer turns preconceived notions of sports watches and luxury watches on their head. Its quality finishes, including fine brushing, black PVD finish and ruthenium treatment, are at once classic yet avant-garde attractive yet practical.
Not to be outdone, its watches for women are the pinnacle of restrained elegance. Most notably, its diamond watches add a trace of womanly sparkle to the famed men's watch models for which TAG Heuer is known: the TAG Heuer Carrera, the Monaco, the Link, the Aquaracer and the TAG Heuer Formula 1. Featuring luxury materials and uncluttered lines, these sophisticated ladies' timepieces perfectly uphold the band's heritage of fine workmanship and impeccable precision that have been its hallmark for more than a century.
Indeed, TAG Heuer timepieces represent more than simple luxury or precision. They symbolise the finest Swiss craftsmanship thrust brazenly into the future. Where dependability meets aesthetics, artistry meets technology, elegance meets the avant-garde: TAG Heuer gives new meaning to luxury watches for men and women.

What do you think of the
Giro Saros Helmet
? Share a...
Kyle Br
comfortable, excellent bang for the buck
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this for my son who felt his helmet wasn't comfortable although I think he was out growing it a bit. Either way he has been riding this helmet the last several months and has not complained once, which is saying a lot since were talking about a 12 year old. He says it feels very comfortable on and doesn't bother him even on his longer rides. And of course I wouldn't put him in anything that wasn't safe, I've owned (and crashed) several Giro helmets and my brain is still in tact.

Giro Saros Helmet
Ben C
A helmet you can wear all day
size M. probably one of the few cycle tourists who wears a helmet in the 3rd world, but I don't feel too bad doing it.
Ben C
Awesome cheaper performance helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A helmet that feels solid but still light and breathable like the ionos or prolight. I turned to this after breaking the side straps on an ionos and will probably not go back. Doesn't quite disappear while running or rollerskiing but close ...
Cam Phillips
Does anyone have the weights specs on...
Does anyone have the weights specs on these? I would be looking at a Medium, but I'm sure other folks would be interested in the full weight spec chart.
Arthur Debowski
They are listing the medium at 279g. I imagine the S and L will be right in that range as well.
Second Giro
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned another Giro with similar retention and rocloc. Fully impressed, hardly ever notice it on my noggin, looks good, weight barely there. Plenty of ventilation, I have a very large oval head and the giro feels good.
Clark Simcoe
Highly Recommend This Great Helmet
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This helmet fits very comfortably and offers great protection. I was just in an accident with a car yesterday. I was thrown off my bike and the helmet took the impact just like as it was designed. I had no head injuries and I am going to purchase the exact same helmet as a replacement. I would highly recommend this helmet because of its excellent fit and protection.

Unless you don't have young kids at home or simply aren't interested in all things Christmas, you've undoubtedly heard of the "Elf on the Shelf." While my own kids now aged 14 and 12 missed the whole thing, the phenomenon has exploded the last few years. What is it? According to the website, "The Elf on the Shelf�: A Christmas Tradition is the very special tool that helps Santa know who to put on the Naughty and Nice list."
In other words, it's a socially acceptable way to threaten and control your child's behavior in the days�leading up to Christmas. Well, that's the cynical view. For many it's a fun, interactive way to build excitement in the days leading up to Christmas. The Elf moves to a different spot in the house every night — creativity is encouraged — and the kids jump out of bed to find him the next morning.
Of course some parents have taken this to the extreme as the website Elf on the Shelf Ideas clearly demonstrates.
There's also a site dedicated to inappropriate Elf on the Shelf poses that I cannot officially endorse called Oh You Naughty Elf. Click at your own risk.
Perhaps because I never experienced the Elf on the Shelf firsthand, I thought I'd put my lifesavings into a holier variation on the theme. Here's what I came up with:
Lord on the Ford
The Messiah on the Stolichnaya
Jesus on the Cheeses
The Anointed One on the Hot Dog Bun
Christ on the Ice
The Lamb of God on the Firing Squad
The Good Shepherd on the Leopard
Redeemer on the Beamer

Tora (トラ, Tora) is the cat owned by Madam Shijimi, the wife of the Fire Daimyō.
Despite, or better yet, because of the huge amount of affection Madam Shijimi shows to it, which includes nearly squeezing the life out of the cat, Tora constantly tries to run away, leading a Konoha genin team to be sent to find her. Team Kakashi and Team Ebisu have both had the privilege of looking for her, each time taking longer than the last as Tora gets better at hiding.
Tora is recognised both times by the red ribbon on her right ear. She has brown fur, with lighter coloured markings on her head and amber-coloured eyes.
- Tora means "tiger".
- In episode 6, in the original Naruto series, Tora had a line running down its forehead with three lines going across it, but in Naruto: Shippūden, it doesn't appear.

Do I need a climate controlled storage unit in Dallas?
The forecast high for Dallas is 85 degrees today. The record high for today in Dallas is 99 degrees. High temperatures and humidity can cause mold and mildew to thrive. If you're considering storing items that are susceptible to mold and mildew during this period, consider renting a climate controlled storage unit.
Does Dallas student population affect self-storage prices?
Colleges and universities located in or nearby Dallas include Dallas Baptist University, Southern Methodist University, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center At Dallas. College students often need storage during summer and winter breaks and can drive prices up during these seasons.

A television set. A throw rug. Playing outside while Dad mows the grass. These everday things can actually lead to accidents and even death.
Some of the most common items found in homes can be dangerous to both children and adults if proper precautions aren't taken. June is National Home Safety Month. During this time take a few minutes to protect your family by making your home a safer place, urges EMSStat manager and paramedic Eddie Sims.
Child Safety at Home
While parents may know the traditional ways to child-proof their home, there are also many hidden dangers. Sims says paramedics have seen children who have been crushed by large items such as televisions. Parents should make sure large, top-heavy items are always secured to a wall or not placed on small furniture that could topple.
"We only see a couple of these cases a year, but it's easily preventable," Sims said.
Another danger for children that might not even cross a parent's mind is being outdoors during the lawn mowing process. Sims said children under 10 should never be outside while the yard is being mowed.
"Tragedies happen every year when kids get on or around riding lawn mowers," Sims said. "They can become trapped under the machine and these accidents are almost always fatal."
Paramedics have also seen feet severed from push lawnmowers and items fly into the air and injure bystanders.
Adults Should Take Precautions As Well
Adults can also be easily injured while at home. In fact, according to the Home Safety Council the most common home accident is falling. Make sure not to place rugs at the bottom and tops of stairs, and keep stairs and pathways free from clutter.
"The biggest causes of falls we see are throw rugs and water spilled on the floor," Sims said.
During the hot summer months, people should also be sure to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water throughout the day.
"If you feel thirsty, you've waited too long to drink something," Sims said.
Calling 911
One of the most important messages EMSStat paramedics wish to tell the public is to not hesitate to call emergency services. Sims urges people to call 9-1-1 if they think they need help or have had an accident at home.
"We'd much rather go out when we're not needed, then not go out when we are needed," he said.

Clothing Care
Washing and Drying HintsBefore you wash or dry any of our garments, always refer to our Gymboree wash instructions. Remember to empty pockets and close zippers to prevent snagging.
Don't let it fade away. Keep the colors alive...To help prevent the colors from fading, remember to always turn garments inside out before washing.
Keep the denim blues...Wash denim separately the first few times in cold water and be sure to turn denim garments inside out to avoid color streaking.
Zip and button it up...To prevent snagging, zip up the zippers and close the buttons of our garments.
Live without the lint...To avoid clothes collecting lint, wash lint-giving fabrics (those with a higher pile) separately from lint-attracting ones such as dark clothes and corduroy.
Color clarity...Remember to separate your wash by sorting the wash load into light and dark colors. Wash light-colored garments in warm or cold water, and dark- or bright-colored garments in cold water. Remember to empty pockets and close zippers to prevent snagging.
Drying decisions...Avoid overloading the dryer. Remember, if you put too much into the dryer at once, clothes may lump together, remain damp and become excessively wrinkled.

LEVYdance's Annual Celebration
- Performing & Visual Arts
- 7 Heron St., San Francisco, CA, 94103
Join us as we reveal our beautifully upgraded studio! What better way is there to kick off the new year than with a party. What you once knew as a room of sea foam green has been tranformed into a sparkling room of light and silver. Expect food, fun, and of course some dance.
Special thanks to Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, Antenor Arenas, Andrew Bundy, Jayson Johnson, Gay for Good: San Francisco and Bay Area Flash Mob for helping make these rennovations a reality.
View this event on Facebook.
LEVYdance's mission is to create art that ignites awareness of our shared human experience. The company is based in San Francisco's SOMA district at LEVYstudio. Founded in 2002 by Artistic Director Benjamin Levy, LEVYdance is a recognized performing arts organization with a distinct aesthetic described as "athletic and lyrical, brainy and sexy" (Dance Magazine). Levy's signature aesthetic is a vibrant landscape of physical action and reaction - under his direction, dance artists express personal narrative in physical currents, engaging and responding in cinematic scenarios of human intimacy.
Beyond performing in traditional venues, LEVYdance also creates installation performance experiences that seek to redefine the relationship between performer and audience. The company has blended new media and dance into an installation that invited the audience inside the performance space, performed as a flash mob at public outdoor sites, and seated audience members and dancers together at banquet tables for an interactive performance experience. LEVYdance's performance of ROMP was named one of the Bay Area's "Top Ten Dance Moments of 2011" by the San Francisco Chronicle and in 2013 LEVYdance received an Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Performance for their 2012 production of Low Down.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

If you were to ask me what I knew about lead a few days ago, I wouldn't have had much of an answer for you. In fact, I probably would have unsurely stated "I know it's supposed to be bad for you?" And then regaled you with the story of how my sweet grandmother still has her entire collection of vintage Fiestaware, which yes, is rumored to be bathed in a lead-ridden glaze. The pieces are lovely, and unfortunately, also lead hazards, so they are currently living in boxes.
But a lot changes in a few days. And with the addition of our new EPA-approved LeadCheck Lead Test Kit, I know a lot more about the dangers of lead exposure and lead poisoning. I also know how easy it is now to test your home's surfaces for this dangerous toxin with an inexpensive allergen test kit like this one. That way, you'll know when to take action to prevent serious health effects in you and your family.

what do you do with your sheep?
(i suppose minutes from now i am going to come across some multi-linked expose portion of your site that explains in Farmgirl detail exactly what you do with your sheep and then i'll be a fool for asking. but hey why not ask.)
by 'do', of course, i mean what use do you put them to?Hi - I loved reading your thoughts, recipes and especially admire your bravery. I am a baker and was a caterer for 15 years, grew my own vegetables and herbs and it made me quite homesick to look at your photos. I lived in the heartland of Virginia back then and have transplanted to California. It is hard work to keep up a blog with a life as busy as yours!! Blessings to You and all your "family"
ReplyDeleteHi Tabitha,
I apologize for not answering your question sooner. What do we do with our sheep? Well, we (and other people) eat them. : ) We raise breeds that make the best meat (as opposed to the best wool)--mostly Hampshire and Suffolk right now. The females (ewes) are bred each year to a ram (the one we have now is named Leopold), and in the early spring we have adorable, frolicking lambs racing around the farm.
When very young, the male lambs are castrated, which means they are then called 'wethers.' They run with the flock for about a year, getting plenty of exercise and eating lots of fresh grass, until they are big enough to be sold to people who want a freezer full of lamb chops and leg of lamb and lamb burger.
Some people who raise sheep sell their wethers when they are only a few months old, and then they are 'finished off' at a feedlot. We don't do that. We raise the lambs until slaughter weight. They lead short but happy, healthy, stress free lives.
Ewe lambs can of course be eaten, too, but since we have been building up the flock for the past several years, we have been holding back our ewe lambs. They are bred to the ram when they are about 1-1/2 years old.
Oh, another very valuable thing the sheep do is provide us with lots of fabulous manure for our organic garden. : )
Hope that helps! : )
Hi Gypsy Girl,

Ghosts and Ruins Book Launch with Ben Catmull in Oakland! | |
Written by janice headley | Filed under events, Ben Catmull | 30 Jul 2013 11:13 AM |
It may be summer, but celebrated artist Ben Catmull will bring the darkness with the hometown launch of his latest work, Ghosts and Ruins!
On Thursday, August 1st, at 7:00 PM, we'll celebrate the release of this beautiful book at Diesel, A Bookstore. Take in the wonder of the haunted houses within the pages, each lovingly and exquisitely rendered in scratchboard on masonite, with a short, nightmare-inducing description of the scene.
In Ben's words, it is "...a compendium of old, forgotten haunted houses, their strange histories, and the experiences of those brave enough to visit. It is highly recommended that you read this book alone late at night in the dark, far away from civilization, preferably during a power outage."
Diesel, A Bookstore is located at 5433 College Avenue in Oakland.

Meros Hair Foundation Jell
Lynn A.Los AngelesHairBlondeColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairLove This StuffBeen using it for years. I've tried other products but I keep coming back to it!posted Dec 8, 2011Link to this post
SkylarMagicI've been using this product for about 6 weeks and it's changing my hair. I blow dry and roll my hair every single day and now that I use this product my ends feel healthy (without a cut), my hair is softer, shinier, lighter, easier to brush. The fragrance is pretty and subtle. On the rare day when I've left my hair straight, it looks great using this product. Normally my fine hair looks messy when I leave it straight, but it looks perfectly flowy with this. Like another reviewer said, because I have very fine hair I have never been able to use a hair product that didn't weigh down my hair, but this one makes it feel even lighter.posted Jan 23, 2010Link to this post
CcNYCHairChemically Treated HairLong HairAwesome Stuff!I have very thick and long hair thats prone to frizz. About a year ago, I went to the Sei Tomoko hair salon in NYC and after getting my hair cut, my stylist put a little bit of this jell in between her hands and rubbed it into my hair. After blow drying my hair straight, I was AMAZED at how smooth and sleek my hair was. I bought a tube of this in July, and by February I finally ran out of it. I use it every time Ive just washed my hair and Im about to blow dry it. It just works amazingly to easily keep my hair straight and smooth. It might be pricey, but its worth it.posted Mar 9, 2008Link to this post
AnonymousUSAMeros Hair Foundation Jelly Is The Best!This product is absolutely fabulous! I have long, straight, baby fine hair. Most styling products leave my hair dry or flat. This product makes my hair look real shiny and feels soft and bouncy. My hair is now easy to comb and looks healthy. I get lots of compliments, since ive been using this.posted Dec 30, 2006Link to this post
ChristineHillsborough, CAGreat ProductGreat product but the tube is too small.posted Apr 27, 2006Link to this post
DeniseKenner, LAFoundation GelI ahve been using this product since 2003 and it has been a great product to have. It can be found in the bigger size on the internet for $48, and in my opinion, it is worth every penny. I have procesed hair that isnt easy to tame and this always does the trick. And the smell is incredible. 5 STARS!posted Feb 13, 2006Link to this post

Phoronix: NASA's MMO Video Game To Have A Linux Port?
The latest mission for NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is not to put man on Mars or revisit the Moon, but to develop a video game. NASA is working with three game studios now to develop their very own massively multi-player online game...
"considered" - "Yeah, we use Linux, it helps us, but to make games for it? Lol."
Meanwhile, at least Celetania had a linux version from day one (woah!).
That almost the same as me considering to buy a Kawasaki ZX14 and building a computer that can store my music and unify all the other systems in the bike displaying it in a skinable readout on an LCD screen in place of the gauges........but it will more than likely not happen in the forseeable future.We have been tipped off that it is indeed being considered.
And I don't think I would pay a subscription to play it as it sounds like there's no aliens, zombies or other mindless NPCs to interact with or blast away.
I know it's aimed at high school aged kids but seriously all this will be is something that they can play in school to reduce the teachers workload of actually teaching.
Things like this are the reasons I did things like write a BASIC program that imitates the sound of the fire alarm and gets our class evacuated 20 mins before lunch while everyone else stayed in.
Anyone knows what engine Star Wars - The Old Republic uses?
I will put this on my short list of games NOT to play. Since I can only imagine how boring it is going to be.
"A space game won't appeal to all Linux gamers, but at least it's not yet another first-person shooter and it will be a modern-day game."
Ah, you can say that loud! You should do a topic talking about this... we are sick and tired of FPS games for Linux!!! That's the only thing we have and we don't even have the best ones out there on the market..
Are you sure your not thinking of Star Wars Galaxies? Knights of the Old Republic wasn't a MMO at all. (and yes KotOR used the odyssey engine.)
From an interview when Galaxies was being developed...
http://swg.stratics.com/content/?Cat=264&uid=1259Saromus: Does Star Wars Galaxies use a Licensed Game Engine or does it have a Proprietary Engine?
Bogafett: The SWG engine was written from scratch. There was no tech available to handle what SWG provides for both the client/server.

Debra Messing Gossip
Debra Messing gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Two Black Smash – Debra Messing and Katharine McPhee
FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
When I first saw Katharine McPhee's dress I thought it might be midnight navy instead of black and I was infinitely more interested, but even in black the Theyskens Theory dress is very smart, certainly the best of the boob slings. It's not all the way overwhelming, but maybe she and her costar Debra Messing thought it was best to ease us back into the idea that Smash is going to loudly and unfortunately invade our lives in just a few weeks. Full Story
New York Realism Means Carrying Coffee At All Times
Smash Season 1 Episode 11 recap (No really, it does. I'm not being snarky there.)So the problem with Smash, as you may know, isn't that the characters are over-the-top or that the situations are ridiculous; it's that the show is trying to sell us those things as straightforward and proper. And let's be honest: everyone who's still watching - and I know you are still watching - is watching for the camp, and the songs (oh my GOD the songs about the Method), but not realism. Full Story
Marilyn's a 'Tomato'. Discuss.
Smash Season 1 Episode 10 recapSo the thing is that my PVR brings in the last 90 seconds of Dancing With The Stars. And I can't criticize that show anymore because it's so much better and more professional than, you know, the people on the show about professional singers and actors. But this week's episode of Smash isn't even really about the ins and outs of being a professional, except inasmuch as you decide how much you like getting yelled at during the course of your job. Full Story
Sunglasses At Night
Smash Season 1 Episode 9 recapI'm calling you out, closet Smash watchers. I know you are legion. I get your tweets and emails and they always say the exact same thing: "I hate this show - so WHY can't I stop watching it?" I feel you. I understand. It's a slow-moving car crash. Full Story
Derek Storm/Splash
Smash season 1 episode 1 recap Does everyone who loves musical theatre get addicted in the same way? I assume so, right? You go to some performance or other of something at the high school or downtown, not really thinking about it, and then, all of a sudden, you have tears and goosebumps and nothing would be more important than living and feeling that part, right? And then you get the music teacher to photocopy the entire script of Phantom and learn it and sing it obsessively until your family resents your larynx. Full Story
Coincidence or Conspiracy: Debra Messing edition
I won't lie - if this had broken in January, in the heat of award season, this story would get a smutty tingle and not its own dedicated post. The subjects of this report know this too. I guess that's the point. Late last week, Debra Messing announced that she and husband Daniel Zelman had separated earlier in the year. Full Story
Celebrity Dumbass: Debra Messing
Last night at the Costume Designer's Guild Awards in Beverly Hills. She's wearing a f-cking tiara! A TIARA! Sure, it's the Costume Designer's Guild. But it's also Debra Messing. Who the hell are you? Well, actually, she's fresh out of work. The Starter Wife was cancelled last week. Full Story
Globes Worst Hair: Debra Messing
Sit DOWN Debra Messing. Better yet – go away. Am so over her. And that hair. That hair had desperation all over and inside of it. That hair had her agent and her publicist lurking around it. Her entire talent team randomly popping out of it, begging someone, anyone, especially Jeff Zucker for a return to network television. Full Story
It`s all about healthy eating
But isn't it always? Debra Messing with her "new amazing body!" graces the cover of the new issue of Self. Inside the magazine, she discusses her frustration with the tabloids over losing her baby weight and what finally led her to finding a program that worked. Her secret? Oh just healthy eating. Full Story
Best Emmy Comeback: Debra Messing
She has been underwhelming for a long time. But last night, Debra Messing came roaring back. Love this dress so much. And it's perfect on her. And she didn't try too hard the way she normally does. No more Will & Grace can be humbling. She certainly needed humbling too. Word is, by the end of Will & Grace she thought she was Sarah Jessica Parker. Full Story
Worst Overkill: Debra Messing
The hair, the posing, the moment she stepped foot on the carpet, she was EXPECTING to be noticed. Only she had to slap you in the face to grab your attention. I mean, what else can you say? Sit DOWN Debra Messing. Full Story
Bad, Better, and Missing Abbie Carmichael
Haven't watched Law & Order since Angie Harmon left the show. Love Angie Harmon. Angie Harmon is flawless. And after all these years she looks exactly the same. Here she is today at the 7th Annual Diamond Fashion Show preview in Beverly Hills. Not so flawless? Debra Messing who, I'm sorry, just hasn't made a good red carpet decision since having her baby. Full Story
Most Desperate: Debra Messing
She hasn't been right on the red carpet in a long time. Everything about this wedding dress sucks: it looks cheap, the seams seem off, it wrinkles too easy, and at the end of the day, it's not flattering. She just wanted it too badly, you know? Always a harbinger of disaster. source Full Story

Mental Health Facilities and the State Hospital Records
Missing Ancestors?
It didn't take long to figure out that people don't actually disappear into the abyss. Perhaps my research needed to be more thorough. Had I really researched all of my sources? Two commonly forgotten sources are prison records and mental health facility records.
Not everyone can boast that at any given time one, or more, ancestor was being treated in the State Hospital, but I usually exclaim that my family actually had a wing at the Kansas - Osawatomie State Hospital, also known as the "State Insane Asylum." (This claim usually gets me off the hook from odd or peculiar behavior.)
I've always heard of poor Great-Aunt Hattie and her mental unrest, and I remember dear Grandma Maggie who died in the Larned State Hospital (KS), a psychiatric facility, but what about the others who can't be accounted for using normal means?
There was the case of 3rd Great-Uncle Willis Cox and his daughter Freddie Reba (Cox) Looney. (I'm not making up that surname). They both disappeared about the same time. Last noted, Willis was living in the Coffeyville, Kansas area and Freddie Reba had left husband number two (Jake Looney) and was living in Washington County, Oklahoma, close to the Kansas border. Both Willis and daughter Freddie Reba dropped off the radar between 1910 - 1920.
By running a quick check with the state hospitals, both were found as patients in the Osawatomie State Hospital. Yes, coincidental (or disadvantaged gene pool), but they were both there.
Finding Records
The biggest issue was not in locating them, but trying to pull their medical records. Osawatomie will not share, or do not own, the patient's files. However, as luck would have it, Willis Cox's medical records from the State Hospital were complete with his Civil War Pension records. In the survey for family medical history, a bit of information from the attending physicians was also provided about Freddie Reba's stay.
I suggest as you expand your research for that missing ancestor, you go a little mental!

You might check with the Kansas State Historical Society -- I know that they have patient records from the Topeka State Hospital. I'm not sure about other Kansas asylums. Here in New Hampshire I cannot see the records without a court order. And even then, I cannot take notes or photograph anything they might finally let me peek at. And I'm looking for a record from the 1840s! I don't think privacy is an issue for this ancestor anymore, but I'm not sure I'm going to pursue it any further...
ReplyDeleteMy mother, Betty Joyce Ward Smith, died at Osawatomie State Hospital. (1956.) She had been admitted for schizophrenia. Family lore says that she was given shock treatments, and that caused a pulmonary embolism, which killed her. The family was so "shocked"
we still can't get over it.--

I am looking for a relative (my deceased father's adoptive) mother, who I just found out was at Osawatatomie State Hospital. We were always told she had died. I know she was still there in 1961 and most likely had been there 20 yrs. Her name was Esther Larson. How can I find out any more information? Thanks!
firstname.lastname@example.com In the state of Kansas, many records are held at Osawatomie are closed and not detailed. There is an index. But since you already know she was there, you can also request a state death certificate, funeral records may also have details on her death or stay at Osawatomie. You will need to do a full search however, since there are several Esther Larson's in Kansas (Hutchinson, Salina, etc).

Hi, I just learned (via 1940 census) that my great-grandmother was in Osawatomie. I do not know how long she was there or when she died. How can I access the index? Is it by year? Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
Kakers(?)Have you ordered a death certificate from the state of Oklahoma yet? Death certificates will give quite a bit of information on burial location/funeral information etc. and if she died in the mental hospital, it will also list it. There were several papers in that area for the 1920's: Enid, Fairview, Cherokee, etc. If she was from that area, her family may have placed an obituary/announcement in the paper. If she owned land, you may also check probate records at the county court.

I have a family member who died at the Osawatatomie state hospital,death records shows he died from appendicitis.Both of his other bothers commited suicide,other family members have also taken their lives or have some form of mental illness.How do I find out what his problem was.He is found on the 1900 census as being in a House of correction in Chicago at the age of 14,listed as a prisoner,along with many children as young as 10 years old.What was this email@example.com
