Mary L.G. Theroux | Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty Recorded: Thursday, March 26, 2015
Independent Institute Senior Vice President Mary L. G. Theroux testified on "Childhood Poverty, Government Failures, and the Need for Economic Liberty", before the California State Senate's Budget Subcommittee on Health and Human Services, at the request of State Senator Jeff Stone. The witnesses spoke about California's Maximum Family Grant rule for families on welfare. The rule caps grants and does not increase grant money to mothers on welfare when they have more children. Mary testified about the causes of poverty and of the need for other, non-government options for poor families. She introduced ideas for helping the poor through private resources and organizations, instead of government agencies where families and women often find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty.

I purchased this set and I love it. I had a problem with one of the shams that were damaged but they took good care of my problem and resolved in no time.darker and it has dark purple in it.. The only thing negative I can say is in the picture on the web site it looks a lot lighter. When I reveived it the gray is much darker and there is more purple in it than I thought. But the color I painted my room is light gray and it looks great. Nice soft material. Love it!
First washing, some of the stitching came undone. and the sheets are pretty thin,
This comforter is so cute and looks adorable in my first apartment of college! In the picture it looked like there was green in it but there isn't. I accented my room with light green though and it still looked super cute! This is such a good deal for all the stuff you get! Highly recommend this for someone wanting a cute bed set for cheap!
i liked it but it just was not the color i was thinking it was
Good for a spare bedroom that doesnt get much use. Definitely more purple than grey and not as much of the yellow...which I was hoping for. Rough material, low quality sheets...but looks good.
I Love it, I think it looks great. I also really loved that it came with the sheets. Such a bargain!
Bottom line.. the fabric is cheap (thin, almost plastic-y feeling), but that's why it's so reasonably priced. Also one of my shams came without the decorative border around the edges, it's just like a plain pillow case. So they don't match and it drives me crazy. I love this print though, it's very pretty.
This was my first purchase with overstock.com. I was very excited about purchasing this bedding after months of looking for something with these colors. However, when it arrived I was COMPLETELY disappointed. The quality is very poor. For example, I washed the bedding and the bed skirt says to tumble dry on low. I put my dryer setting on "air" dry and the entire bed skirt fell apart. The quality was similar to gauze....it completely disintegrated. The sheets feel very cheap as well. Not a fan......very disappointed!

OPM releases draft qualification standards for HR workforce
Friday - 12/2/2011, 4:40pm EST
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
The Office of Personnel Management has released draft qualification standards for human resources managers and assistants.
The draft standards update the qualifications to include competencies and minimum requirements by grade, Acting Deputy Associate OPM Director Andrea Bright wrote in a Nov. 30 memo.
The standards will be used to assess the minimum qualifications required of job applicants.
OPM worked with the Chief Human Capital Officer's Council subcommittee for the HR workforce to develop the standards and is now seeking comment on their accuracy, clarity and ease of use.
The various requirements align with employees' grade levels. The 10 competencies include "teamwork," "reasoning," "problem-solving," and "interpersonal skills" among others.
The requirements are graded on a scale — from 5, which shows expert levels to 1, which shows only basic awareness of a particular skill.
The HR workforce requirements follow recent draft competency-based qualification standards issued by OPM for IT management and certain financial occupations.
Click here to view the competency standards for HR managers.
Click here to view the competency standards for HR assistants.
Comments on the requirements can be sent to email@example.com and must be received by Jan. 20.

Few animals evoke Colorado's rugged and unforgiving mountains like the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Yet the vertical terrain that keeps sheep safe from predators also limits opportunities for Coloradans to view and appreciate Colorado's state animal. A happy exception for wildlife watchers is Georgetown, where the Town of Georgetown, the Georgetown Trust and Gateway Visitor Center, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) are finalizing preparations for the 8th Annual Georgetown Bighorn Sheep Festival.

After lengthy discussions in the office and some questions from some of you, I asked my colleague and stats man Chris Collinson (@chriscollinson7) to research whether Barcelona have changed their style under Tito Vilanova in comparison to Pep Guardiola's team.
He has found, with the help of Opta, some interesting figures which back up the fact that there has been a shift in style, even a small one.
Read his research below and tell me what you think... either by filling out the feedback form below or tweeting @GuillemBalague.
So how do Barcelona under Pep Guardiola in 2011-12 compare to the team playing under Vilanova this season?
Barcelona are still enjoying similar levels of possession (70 per cent) and making similar number of passes per game (around 700) as last season, but are making more of their passes further up the pitch - only 9.7 per cent of their passes are in their own defensive third this season, compared to 13 per cent last season, which perhaps suggests that Vilanova doesn't want them just passing the ball around at the back ad infinitum.
This 'less messing around at the back' point is backed up by the fact that Barcelona are launching more long balls (i.e. a 'hoof' with no particular intended target) than last season - 9.6 per game compared to 8.4 last season.
Also, Barcelona are getting into the opposition box more often under Vilanova than they did under Guardiola last season - they are having 33.6 touches in the opposition box per game this season, compared to 31 last season.
This is Collinson's conclusion: "In general, there's a slight move towards being more direct, but not a significant one. On the football style spectrum - with Stoke at one end and Barcelona at the other - it's a very small change in style, but I suppose since Barcelona are so 'pure' in their passing philosophy, any change towards being more direct - however small - is significant."
Do you agree? Let me know by filling out the feedback form below...
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it in here or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
Hello, hope you're well? I wanted to know what Spanish people think of Juan Mata. I get the feeling he is under-rated considering his brilliant talents and superb skills, also the new stylish Chelsea squad and the fact of Falcao joining Chelsea. That would surely make them extremely dangerous to face in any competition? Javi Garcia
GUILLEM SAYS: The thing that Mata has a little bit against him is that he played for Valencia, even though he came from Real Madrid, and that always gives you a little less exposure. Also, I've got the impression that if you play in the Premier League it's harder to have a big impact on the Spanish media and, perhaps even, to impress the Spanish coach than if you play for either Real Madrid or Barcelona. That's partly because they are two of the best teams in the world, which forces you to play at a very high standard if you want to be part of that team. But that said it was a big surprise that Mata was not part of the squad for the last couple of games and I'm sure that he will come back. He is becoming a better player with Chelsea and that cannot be ignored.
Hi Guillem, I was wondering how you would rate David de Gea's start to his Manchester United career? Filling the gap left by Edwin van der Sar's departure was a massive challenge but he appears to have made a solid start to life at Old Trafford - do you agree? Also is there any truth in speculation from Spain that the former Atletico Madrid stopper is homesick? Thanks in advance. Shane Farrington
GUILLEM SAYS: I mentioned on my Twitter account @GuillemBalague last week that he isn't homesick and is working hard to keep his place as No 1. My only criticism of Sir Alex is perhaps that by changing goalkeepers you risk harming their confidence, so I wonder if he will stick with De Gea now that he has been playing and let him grow? De Gea wants to stay at Manchester United, 100 per cent.
Hi Guillem, big fan, my question is in regards to Dani Alves. I'm an avid Barca fan; me and my dad catch every game. Dani Alves often comes off as the weak link for us. Aside from his speed and stamina he doesn't offer much. I was wondering if you think Barca would be better off shipping him off to PSG (who he hasn't ruled out a move to) and start training Montoya in as the full time right back now? He proved to be more than capable in the Clasico and Tito has tons of time for him. It's clear he's the next right back, but should he be put in now? Thanks in advance. Jamie O'Callaghan
GUILLEM SAYS: Last season he was surely one of the weakest links in the side. He didn't track back as much as he used to and he didn't add that much offensively. But previously to that in the first three years under Guardiola he was one of the top players and provided an outstanding link to Messi and whoever played wide. He helped to give Barcelona another offensive dimension; he helped to keep the pressure high as well. But certainly in the last year-and-a-half he has become one of the weak links and the board toyed with the idea of selling him but no big offer came in.
Hello Guillem, great show. I have heard that Hector Moreno who plays for Espanyol is being linked for a move to Barcelona. Can you tell a little bit more about that, the Mexican is a great defender and it would surely be an exciting addition to the Barcelona team. Jose Hayaux du tilly
GUILLEM SAYS: That link has been made by the Catalan press. Espanyol doesn't know anything about it. Certainly he is one of the top players at Espanyol; his composure on the ball is great, as is his anticipation, while he is strong even if he isn't one of the tallest centre backs. He is a player who can improve though and who, probably, belongs at the higher level of Barcelona. I've got no doubt about it.
Hello Guillem. I enjoy reading your columns and keep up the awesome work. My question to you is with the Ballon D'Or debate in full flow, why are only Messi and Ronaldo considered the only candidates worthy to win it? Why not Iniesta or Xavi? They have achieved more than both the stars at club or international level. It's high time the jury who decides such awards overlooks the superstar status and gives it to any of the Spanish magicians. Arun Nori
GUILLEM SAYS: I'd say that Messi is a 'freak of nature' - he has to be because it's not normal to see so much talent in one person! Meanwhile, we are going to see more and more 'Ronaldos' from now on. Yes he has incredible talent but it is based on his strength and technique. But both of them in their own way are well above anybody else in the world. I am friendly with both Xavi and Iniesta and I would love each of them to get the Ballon D'Or at some point. Iniesta has got a chance if the vote goes towards rewarding Spain for their success, but it would almost be like a team award rather than an individual award. I don't particularly like that scenario so if you are going to give it to an individual, it has to be Messi or Ronaldo I suppose.

Hi Guillem, there are rumours linking Arsenal with a January swoop for Atletico's Adrian Lopez. There are also rumours that they made a move last summer and that Adrian was Arsene Wengers preferred purchase over Olivier Giroud. Have you heard anything about this? With Arsenal struggling to score goals so far this season could Adrian be the answer?

Hi Guillem, As a Barca fan it is obvious that a top quality centre back is required to be added to the squad, do you think that will be a priorty next summer and if so do you know of any names being linked. Another question regarding Fernando Llorente, I would love to see him at Barca next season as it would add another dimension to their attacking play, but what club to you think he will join as I think he will have numerous offers. Keep up the great work with the column and Revista!

Hi Guillem, great insight into La Liga each week, it's always a great read. My question is, this season at Barcelona, due to Xavi's less regular usage in the first team, if Cesc was to pick up an injury or a drop in form, do you think there would be an opportunity for maybe Sergi Roberto or Gerard Deulofeu to step up from the B team?

So a long ball is now a HOOF with no particular target?!? You talk like you're a manager! Have you passed any coaching badges?!?

Hi Guillem! I enjoy your insight week in week out. As a football fan in the States, I have a question that might pose as an interesting topic for fans everywhere. American professional sports is seemingly burdened with illicit substance abuse, with Lance Armstrong being the most recent case. With Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring tons of goals year in and year out, I ask what qualities there are to admire about the top athletes of the beautiful game in Europe that maybe American fans cans learn from in regard to dedication and sportsmanship. Though football is no stranger to doping, there is something so intricate about the game that it seems to be a point to be mentioned. Cheers!

Naveed Siddiqui (Barcelona fan) says...
Being a die hard fan and watching all the games every season since 2001 I agree with you about the noticeable change in style. However I think it is a very positive and bold move on Villanova's part. Although the previous to last season for Guardiola was the best so far in terms of the quality of football overall but we saw that was worked out by many teams last season. Even when teams do not work it out, merely "parking the bus" usually proved sufficient to counter them in a lot of games. So I think this new style has proven to be plan B so far for the teams who defend deep. The game against Celtic was the clear evidence of that. Your thoughts?

Ijlal Ali (Barcelona fan) says...
Hey Guilleme, I read the analysis you had on there being more long balls being played this season compared to last, the and I was wondering if that was because of the injuries to the first choice back four, and hence, the lack of confidence in the makeshift options. Perhaps they just don't trust them enough to play it out from the back. Could that also partly explain them keeping the ball in the opposition half more simply because it keeps it as far away from their own area as much as possible. Thanks!

Glenn Stephens (Arsenal fan) says...
Perhaps Barcelona's conversion of 2 midfielders, Mascherano & Song ,into Centre Backs gives you some insight as to how the next few years will go. It's not some mega coaching insight on those players but a need to have better passers at the back and that they can get away with it because they have so much possession. It might be why they are 'launching' marginally more balls from the back but it also makes sense to get the ball into the area more quickly so that the defending side has less time to bring their midfield and strikers into defensive positions. Their problem against the very top sides for the last few seasons (Inter, Chelsea, Real Madrid) has been breaking down those very well organised defensive walls and maybe Vilanova is thinking more along Arsenal lines and using more pace with the passing game in the transition phase, with Pedro, Jordi Alba & the Chilean chap .Looking forward ,it is also likely that their possession will reduce a little, with Xavi probably starting to decline . Cesc is not going to be the new Xavi nor any of the other kids coming through. You yourself say that Messi is a one off, but so is Xavi & to an extent Iniesta. These players are not 'manufactured' & replicable easily ,no matter how good the academy is. So their game will become more direct , but at the margin. Certainly Cesc knows how to play that way.

Rahul Malhotra (Liverpool fan) says...
Hello Guillem, an absolute privilege to read your articles!! My question to you is that, going through your articles, you seem to be disappointed with the way Tito Vilanova is going about taking charge at Barcelona in terms of their philosophy,style, technique etc.. Last week your colleagues stats summed it up. Their is a slight change but not much. Barcelona's style has become more direct with more long balls. As an unbiased football fan I think this is absolutely fantastic. It means Barcelona are great with possession based football and also can play long balls when the situation demands. This makes them more potent and deadly and I think Vilanova needs to be given a pat on his back for bridging the gap. Your thoughts?? Thanks in advance, always a pleasure reading your stuff!!

I love this column its pretty much the only one I read !! keep up the good work. My question is why do you think Athletic Bilbao have had such a terrible start considering the talent on offer, also is Llorrente in the last year of his contract if so would he be leaving for free ?

Stewart Mccoy (Manchester United fan) says...
Alright Guillem? Thanks for your insights and views, always an interesting and worthwhile read. Just want to comment about the Ballon D'Or section at the end of your blog. Why is the list always so biased towards attacking players? I mean I fully realize that football as a business is about entertainment and that ST/AM/WG etc. for most fans provide the greater enjoyment and excitement within the game. However, I feel like standing up for the "Alan Hansen" view of football on this one. Are the defensive players in the game discriminated against in this way? I'm not suggesting its a top level marketing agenda (although...lol) or even intentional just that it seems that way to me? Take Man City last year (winning the PL), was Vincent Kompany not just as important to them as Sergio Aguero? But hes not on the list despite being their captain, stand out performer defensively and arguably being 1/3 best CB in world football? And I am a Man Utd fan! Also looking at the previous winners of the award over the last two decades, only 3 defenders make the top 3 for the award, Fabio Cannavaro, Roberto Carlos and Paolo Maldini. Where is John Terry from the Jose Mourinho era Chelsea (he was unbelievable at that time) or Alessandro Nesta from most of his career (best CB of his generation)? Within the current world scene however I do understand to a point that attackers are dominating this award. The stats and performances that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have produced for 3/4 seasons (at club level anyway) have been undeniably world class and beyond everyone else (arguably for all time) in the game! However in a sport where scoring goals is more important than not conceding them (my opinion but I think its true), I still think the tendency within the game right now is to favour attackers and that the "football men" running things and the media analyzing them are not viewing things through the eyes of a "purist" in this sense!

Colin Khuthe (Manchester United fan) says...
I feel that the focus on messi over shadows the talent of other athletes.. Such as santi carzola or even falcao there should be a wider focus to grow football and not on two stars and two teams (barcelona and real madrid). I feel david DeGea's start to manchester was fairly poor considering the hype around his talent, he has shown glimpses of his shot stopping abilities but more consistency is needed, Fergies decision to rotate keepers has its pro's as it limits complacency from both keepers. Juan Mata will grow and soon to begin to challenge palyers such as the potent silva for a starting spot. We appreciate the wise information and insight of Guillem Balague allows us to look at a lot more reasons other than our narrow minded thoughts

Yousaf Sabir (Chelsea fan) says...
Hi Guillem. Excellent column every week. (And fantastic suits at the weekends!) I have two quick questions. 1) Fernando Llorente looks certain to leave Athletic Bilbao in 2013. Do you think his next stop will be to the Premier League? 2) I am a big fan of Valencia. in particular Jonas & Ever Banega. Do you see either of them leaving La liga in the near future? I think Banega is a gifted footballer who has had a cruel run of injuries. Thoughts? Thanks. Keep up the good work!

Admin stuff: Moving Servers
If you were here in the past half-hour, you know that FamilyTreeCircles was in maintenance mode for about a half hour.
I moved FamilyTreeCircles from one server to another so I could decommission a very old and very expensive server.
Things should be just fine (famous last words), but if you notice any strangeness at all please do let me know either by commenting here, or via email to scott at familytreecircles.com.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
Family Tree Circles Updates
Hello All.
I've just posted some updates to Family Tree Circles, that I hope will start us on the road to making this a better place for everybody. Here's what I've done...
The Family Tree Circles points system has been removed. I believe it has been broken for a long time, but in any case, the feedback that I've been getting is that it is encouraging a quantity over quality approach for some. I originally put that in place to recognize the top contributors, and I think it did serve a purpose for many years. It seems it is time to move on from that model. Instead, I do plan on doing some sort of user scoring/reputation system going forward. More on that in a bit.
Block/Unblock Users: A a sort of pressure relief valve, I've implemented a "block user" feature. This will hide journals for any blocked user in the places where journals are listed. You can still view individual journals or the profile of a blocked user. And you can always unblock a user from your own profile.
To block a user, click the "block this user" link in the bio section of a journal or that user's profile.
To unblock a user, you can click that link again (it'll change to "unblock"). Or you can view all the blocked users in your profile and unblock them from there:
Yes, you can block yourself. :-)
I don't love having to add this last feature, but it'll be interesting to see if it gets used.
What's next?
I know that neither of these solutions solve the difficult problem of someone flooding the active journal page with many posts, or lots of comments on their own posts. You can clean up the view for yourself with blocking, but most people won't do that and the flooding can continue. This is a difficult one to solve because some people who post great stuff may also post a several journals in a row. So, simply putting basic flood control in (ilke to limit posts to a certain number per hour) would hurt users who don't deserve it.
As I indicated above, I plan to implement an algorithmic scoring/reputation system that will take peer feedback into consideration when deciding which journals will be displayed in the journals lists.
Many of you have surely noticed back in the spring that I introduced "Thank" and "flag" links on journals. To those of you who have been using those, thanks. I'll be using that information in a future update.
In the meantime, I hope these two short-term changes help some.
New Features on Family Tree Circles
If you've been reading the FamilyTreeCircles newsletter, you know that I've been working on some new features on FamilyTreeCircles.
If you don't currently subscribe to the newsletter, you can sign up here.
I'm happy to say that a number of them have gone live today.
Here's an overview of what's new.
New Journal and Comment Views
You'll notice a new menu item called "Journals". That brings you to a new series of pages that give different views of journals and comments:
- Newest: All of the new journals
- Unanswered: Any journal that does not have a comment
- Last Activity: All journals sorted by last activity (either a new journal or a comment added)
- QuickSearch: search in all journals, more on that below
- Latest Comments: View just the latest comments, not journals
This functionality replaces the old tried and true "Active Posts" page, which remains available if that is what you're comfortable with.
Take a look through these menu items and see if these offer you any improvement in how to view the journals on Family Tree Circles
Quick Search
While you can use the search box in the upper right, the new Quick Search gives you a fast way to quickly sift through journals in the system to find keywords that you're looking for. Looking for a surname? just start typing it in to the quick search box and you'll immediately see any journals matching your search term.
Note: You can also search in just your own journals by accessing the quick search link from your own Journals page from your profile.
Journal "Thanks" and "Flag"
In order to reward people who are writing great journals, I've added a "Thank" button to the bottom of all journals.
If you like what someone wrote, just quickly click "Thank". I'm quietly keeping track of these for now, but soon I'll be exposing these numbers in the form of "popular journals" or people who get the most thanks. For now, just feel free to use it!
If you have any questions about these features, please drop a comment.
What to do about a member who is upsetting the community?
As communities grow there will be people who disagree, and people who upset the community with their behavior, whether it is intended or not. It is inevitable.
It seems we have ourselves in this situation. I won't name names, but you probably know what I'm talking about. I had hoped this situation would have resolved itself, but it came to a bit of a head over the past several days.
While quietly addressing the situation yesterday, I disabled this member's ability to post comments. I didn't feel it was necessary to publicize that action, but maybe it would have prevented some more misunderstandings.
I learned that later last night this particular member was subsequently deactivated by one of our admins. This is a decision that I understand and respect, but the technical ramifications of that were such that I decided to reverse that -- especially since I had already prevented him from posting comments and been in discussions with him to resolve the problems. More on that in a bit.
Apparently some people noticed both the deactivation and the reversal and are troubled by the apparent lack of action, or worse, the appearance that I'm sticking up for this member.
I want to explain that.
Account deactivation is something that is for the purpose of quickly removing a spammer from FamilyTreeCircles. This action removes all posts and all comments for a particular user. Deactivating a member like this who has posted a large number of posts and comments makes a big mess and fills the site with thousands of "account deactivated" messages. Worse, it potentially took away good information from the comments in some members' journals. I feel that we can address this in other ways. It is also a last resort that I hope to avoid.
I do recognize that there is an issue to be dealt with and I'm committed to getting it resolved.
Here's what I am doing:
I've indefinitely disabled this member's access to make comments, as it seems this is the primary source of the behavior that is offending others. The only way I will reinstate that access is if I'm convinced that the member will participate in a way that does not offend other members.
I have not disabled his access to posting journals. I don't see the harm in him doing that unless he uses that as a vehicle to address others or this issue, in which case I'll take further action. I don't anticipate that will be necessary.
I have been in communication with this member to start a conversation about what has happened and what changes we can make if he wants to continue to participate in this community.
I will be investigating ways to improve FamilyTreeCircles to allow the community to better self-manage and deal with these issues better before they get out of hand. For example, voting on comments up or down, so that offending comments can be flagged and hidden. This is something that I'll work on in the coming weeks so the next time this happens, well, hopefully we'll prevent it. (I've already done this on journals with "Thank" and "flag". More on that in another post.)
I care deeply about FamilyTreeCircles. It is something that I've been working on as a passion project for several years and it is distressing to me when there are issues. I hope that I can have your support in getting through this bump in the road.
Pulling your posts and going away is your prerogative, but I hope you will not do that. Instead, if you ever have any comments or feedback about this or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me at email@example.com. Heck, call me: +1 617-910-0055. That's how much I care about this.
Thanks for your help, support, and understanding.

New Feature: Genealogy Articles and Answers!
We're on a roll on FamilyTreeCircles, adding new features. We're really trying to round out the types of information that are available on FTC and I'm happy to say that there are now three types of postings available for everyone from new family researchers to experienced genealogists.
Look on the homepage and you'll see the following explanation of the options.
The last thing I want to do is introduce any confusion or uncertainty with more options and I've tried to make it as simple as possible. All three types of entries end up in the same places in the list on the homepage and in the active posts page, color coded so you can tell the difference at a glance.
There is still the same, old, tried and true Journal entries. Nothing has changed there. Use a journal entry for posting all your great family research. As a general rule, anything family or surname related should go in a journal. For the time being, only journals can be associated specifically with surnames and therefore show up on the surname page for any given surname.
If you've got a question about any genealogy topic, this is the place to ask. Maybe you're wondering about what sort of resources are available in Cork County Ireland. Or maybe you're stuck with a problem in Personal Ancestral File software. Ask about any genealogy topic, technique, method, or technology. Keep an eye on the open questions to see if you can answer a question for someone else. You can read more about this on our announcement of Answers from a few days ago.
Everybody is an expert about something. Maybe your experience has made you an expert on genealogy research in the state of Vermont, or researching slave ancestry in Virginia. Maybe you're an expert user of certain software or websites. Write an article and you'll not only provide the community with some great information, but you can establish yourself as an expert and direct people to your own blog for more information.
I've got some exciting ideas of where the Articles feature can go...more on that soon.
So there you have it. Something for everyone. It'll take some time for people to get used to the new features on FamilyTreeCircles. If you're one of our more experienced users, please give them a try and show folks how it's done!
New Features: User Search, etc.
Here's a quick update on some changes I've made to Family Tree Circles recently...
User Search - I've added a user search section to the search results page. So if you're looking for a user whose username you can't quite remember, put a partial name in the search box. Like this search for "ally" turns up our favorite FTC editor Allycat, and 74 others.
Email Address protection. We can warn and warn and warn, and people still put their email addresses in journals. This is a bad idea in general because spammers scan the web for email addresses to send horrible email to. I've coded things up so that if you're not logged into FTC, you won't see the email address. Just some indication that there's an email address there and that you must log in to read it. It is too much trouble for spammers to create an account just to get a few email addresses, so it should be effective.
Disappearing Newsletter Signup Box. You've probably noticed me experimenting with lots of different newsletter signup form designs in the right margin of the site in the past month. I've now set it up so if you have ever subscribed to the newsletter (and even subsequently unsubscribed), the form no longer shows on every page of FamilyTreeCircles (except on the blog).
If you have signed up for the newsletter, thanks! If not, and you'd like to, there's a signup box right over there to the right. And you won't have to look at that form any more on FamilyTreeCircles. :)
New Design
Thanks again for everyone who voted in the logo survey. I liked them all, but my favorite came in third place. Shows what I know!
I took the opportunity to clean up the design here on FTC. Back to basics with a cleaner look and a focus on the content. No competing colors.
I hope you like it. Please feel free to comment below.
Logo/Redesign Survey....and Thanks!
In yesterday's Family Tree Circles newsletter, I sent out a link to a survey to get feedback on a new logo design for Family Tree Circles.
The response has been tremendous and I'm getting a lot of feedback. Thank you so much.
If you aren't signed up for the Family Tree Circles newsletter, please subscribe. You can do that here: FamilyTreeCircles newsletter.
Below are the candidates.
If you'd like to vote, please proceed to the survey.
And if you've got any comments or feedback on these, please feel free to discuss in the comments. This is proving to be a difficult decision.
Joseph A. Jangro of Florida, MA in 1900.
I found a Joseph A. Jangro in the 1900 census who lived next door to John Jangro (m. Nancy Jangro)
At the time of the 1900 census Joseph A was 48 and he is a widower. He lived with children Aleena Jangro (!5), Mary Jangro (13), Iris Jangro (13), and Nellie Jangro (7).
I don't think I know who this Joseph was. They lived next door to John and Nancy Jangro in Florida, MA in 1900 and both worked on the B&M Railroad. Were they brothers? cousins?
Joseph A. was born in Canada and may have moved down to US not too long prior. The oldest daughter Aleena was born in Vermont in 1884.
There's a Joseph P Jangro from the same western Mass. area born in 1880.
Some small changes on FTC
Hi All!
It's been a few years since we've done a server upgrade and in case things were getting a little sluggish here, we've upgraded today. You may have noticed the website was down for a while today while we made the move. We're all settled in and things seem to be going smoothly.
If you notice any issues, please do let me know.
Plus, being a little tired of the colors, I made some simple changes to the color scheme as well.
We're planning some bigger changes for later this year, so stay tuned for more news...
Scott and the FTC team.

These cuts are quite intricate which made it necessary to choose paper carefully. If there was a coating or embossing on the paper, the design didn't cut all the way and scissors or exacto knife had to be used. Also, paper stock shredded. Need to use a medium weight CARD stock for best results.
I have not used this item but expect it to be just fine.
love it .. very fun great price .. not sure what more to say . love this product!!!
I am loven it. Thank you for the great product at a great price. Have a great day
This is a great cartridge. I will say it is much easier to use when going with larger sizes than smaller ones though.
exactly what I wanted and needed to complete my daughters wedding album and so many other projects

Yesterday I got a chance to test the Scamp out in grandmother's pool! Wow this sub is fast! Even with the throttle dialed back on the TX to 50% it still moves.
A very fun sub! Got to do some tweaking (the sail plane would not connect), but hopefully be able to get back in the water tomorrow! Incredibly fun sub!

Tolerated by whom?
Anyone could sue any Linux distribution for infringement, especially one of the thousand+ kernel developers, present or past.
Who has the authority to "tolerate" a GPL violation?
It's not like Alan or Linus can simply go ahead and say "oh, ignore the GPL, it doesn't matter anyway" as a sign of good will.
The real meat here is that Nvidia is not really running a risk here, because they do not distribute infringing code. What they want is the distributions to break the GPL by shipping their software. Nobody could legally ship such drivers anyway!
I got acceleration from day 1 with Nvidia drivers. A clueless moron like you running open source drivers got zero hardware acceleration for a long time. But nice try at trolling I guess. Give yourself a pat on your back, if it makes you feel better.
I'm running a Kepler GPU now, a poor person like D0pamine could never afford anything but $50 Celeron and the HD2000 on older Sandy Bridge or HD2500 on the newer Ivy Bridge cores.
And do try running your precious open source nouveau garbage on Kepler GPUs, it's quite a hilarious experience, ahh but oh well, you can't afford one anyway.
no idiot GPL2 is a license and kernel is a project using that license since 20 years ago troll and since laws exists too, you are bound to the terms of that license retard is just that simply. if you don't consider GPL to be the right choice then go here http://www.pcbsd.org/ which is a more adequate licensed OS for you.
Would nvidia allow bending of their licence to better accommodate the linux kernel? If not why would anyone agree to bending of the GPL not that such a thing can be done anyway and anyone who says it can be done does not understand the GPL
The problem here is simple - people read shit on forums before they'll read and understand the GPL. They believe there is an evil 'linux' corporation headed by a finnish man who lives in castle greyskull who dictates what can and what cannot run on his operating system which he gives away for 'free' in order to try and achieve market saturation. Fortunately the people who believe this are fuckwits/fanbois/trolls and don't report bugs, write documentation or even write code. They are very opinionated by nature however and like to do 'feature requests' hence the complete fucking mess that is known as ubuntu
go on someone say 'Desktop market share' if they DARE :P
Hah, trying to imply that OSS drivers are more unstable than the proprietary ones. The ludicrousness of that claim was quite amusing.
Also, man, what's with all the trolls recently. This is a hot topic and all, but why should there be giant text, insults and ridiculous claims everywhere.

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
Schaub has built up enough credibility with Kubiak to secure his starting role until at least the end of the season. He would have to really screw up consistently for many weeks before getting the bench. What that means is that this season will likely see no changes, and it's going to be a tough one to watch.
The right tackle position is compromised, and it could possibly improve if Ryan Harris rotates in. But the QB production will steadily decline as Schaub's foot becomes more unreliable. Just set your expectations right now, because there is a lot of ugly Texans football for the next 13 weeks. |

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
I do believe that we are seeing lingering effects of his Lisfranc. As I've tried so many times before to explain, this is not the type of injury that you necessarily would expect re-injury. It is an injury that many times manifests itself as a slowly progressive course of tenderness and aching, not atypically including a degenerative arthritis component. Rest tends to help temporarily, but as soon as repeated stresses are placed on the foot again, the negative effects on performance tend to return and continue, much like an elbow tendonitis problem in a tennis player. Unfortunately, unlike the knee which can be better supported and stabilized by strengthening the large hamstring and quad muscles, there are virtually no muscles of significant size in the foot that can be strengthened enough to effictively improve the support and stability of the Lisfranc joint that must carry the burden of a moving 6'5" 240 pound person.

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
Despite Watt and Cush, the front seven is just garbage
Hopkins being a beast gives me hope for the offense though. At least the Texans haven't gotten kicked in the balls by Father Time like the Steelers. Good lord do they look slow. Young teams like the Colts and the Bengals are closing the gap. Not sure what to think of Miami yet, but they are vastly improved. Its one game to a superior opponent. Its not like the Texans fell off a cliff like the Steelers, Giants, and Skins. |

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
To heck with "peaking" go out each game and manhandle the opponent, play to win not play to remain close and hope to win game at end. Call better plays, let the FB protect the Qb rather than block for the half back 100%. Quit throwing passes 5 yards from LOS and stretch the field. 14 penalties? Get outta here!
I will calm down when we start playing like a contender. I don't watch crappy wins. Let's play like we belong in the NFL and coach like it also.

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
It's both and it has been both. If you honestly put Kubiak and Schaub against Harbough and Flacco who do you truly thinks wins? Right now looking at it like this makes me think we should be 2-1 but will be 2-3 after going against tye former usc coach/Russell Wilson then Harbough/kap.

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
Before last year Flacco had the same reputation that many attribute to Schaub. The Coaches aren't even close? It gets so old hearing how Kubiak has been her for sooooo long and done nothing. Harbaugh inherited Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Hiloti Nata, Terrel Sugs, Bart Scott, Willis McGahee, Derick Mason, Jonathan Ogden, Todd Heap and then got to draft Flacco and Rice his first year. Those players went on to start hundreds of games for either the Ravens or other teams for YEARS. His team was one season removed from 13-3 and then the year before he got there was 5-11 after McNair went down and Kyle Boller and after staring 4-4 they lost 7 of 8 with Boller. Kubiak inherited Andre Johnson. No HOF tackles, no HOF LBrs, no HOF safety, no top 20 RB. His RB? Ron Dayne. Johnson and Daniels are the only names even mentionable on the best players at their position on offense. Mario Williams was a top tier player and I'll give you Ryans. That's it. Now lets look at 2009. Both teams went 9-7. QB: Joe Flacco - Matt Schaub --- wash RB: Ray Rice - Slayton --- adv BAL WR: Mason - Johnson --- adv Hou WR: Clayton - Walter --- wash TE: Heap - Daniels --- wash LT: Gaither - Brown --- adv Bal LG: Grubs - Studdard --- adv Bal C: Birk - Meyers --- adv Bal (both Brown and Meyers were terrible in 09) RG: Chester - White --- adv Bal (seriously, a bloody tampon was more likely to block) RT: Oher - Winston --- adv Hou FB: McClain - Leach --- adv Hou (but close, McClain was great too) Front 7: Nata, Kelly Gregg, Dwan Edwards, Terrell Suggs, Tavares Gooden, Ray Lewis, Jarret Johnson vs. Antonio Smith, Shaun Cody, Amobi Okoye, Mario Williams, Brian Cushing, Demeco Ryans Zach Diles Umm... you tell me... CB: Fabian Washington - Robinson(5 games)/Bennett --- adv Bal CB: Domonique Foxworth - Glover Quinn --- adv Bal SS: Dawan Landry - Bernart Pollard --- wash FS: Ed Reed -Eugene Wilson (stop laughing) The team won a SB with was together for 5 years as a core. Take Flacco and Schaub out of the equation... at what point did the Texans accrue a similar talent level? Everyone points to Flacco as so much better than Schaub in the playoffs? That is laughable. Prior to last year: 134/247 1532 yards, 8td, 8int 54% comp 6 yds/att and a QB rating of 70. That leaves you with one of two options. Either Flacco got hot or get got better with age. We are all talking about him as "clutch".... give me a break. That doesn't mean that Schaub is all world, there are 3 QBs that are all world, no more. Schaub and Flacco are very similar QBs really. To say you can't win a SB with Schaub is ridiculous though. Before you call for his head, how many options do you have for QBs you CAN win a SB with if you can't win with Schaub? You can "rank QBs" if you want but realistically there are a few groups of QBs. 18, 12 and Rogers. Class of their own. If you don't have one of those three you don't have an "elite" qb. The next group includes everyone from Eli to Romo to Schaub and Flacco. They are all good QBs that have a weakness that has to be hidden or at least not manifest itself. The argument to get rid of Schaub would have to include a way to get an all world QB. Sure, it may happen and maybe Luck or RGIII are that guy but you aren't going to get rid of Schaub and get one that same year. If you want to plan for the future, that's fine but you are better served to build around Schaub (which I think we've done pretty well actually) or you have to give up on the next couple of years while you groom his successor. The truth is probably closer to "if a guy can get you to the playoffs he CAN win a superbowl" but that doesn't mean he will. People can lambast the coach/qb combination but that someone doesn't win a superbowl doesn't mean they aren't "capable" it means it didn't happen. There are several teams that CAN win a superbowl every year but not every team that CAN win WILL. Some teams that SHOULDN'T win SBs get lucky and do. Some teams that SHOULD win get unlucky and don't (Patriots v. Giants anyone)? Sure, go out and tell me I'm wrong with some subjective "I know what I'm talking about because I've watched the game". Tell me I'm a "homer" or a "sunshine pumper"... then explain how an objective look at history proves your point and not mine. Manning "Couldn't win a SB" for years. Hell, he couldn't win a playoff game. Brady came out of nowhere. Marino got to one.. and then? Elway "couldn't win the big one on his own" despite being captain comeback and then Dilfer wins one. Big Ben won one his second year. Was he a better QB then that at any point since? Analyzing these games and acting as if somehow history proves what is possible and disproves that which hasn't happened yet is stupid. It would be really nice if someone that keeps saying we can't win with this or that... ok... come up with a real plan (some detail please) that gets us to where you think we need to be instead of screaming how "this sucks get rid of Schaub". Oh and by the way, we may not ever win a SB with Schaub. I'm sure that in 5 years you'd love to find me and remind me of that point... but the odds are stacked in your favor every year. If 10 teams are in the upper tier with a possibility to win and Houston stays in that group for the next 5 years then the odds of us winning one in the next 5 years are somewhere around 30%. So sit and complain, fine. Sit and get mad, fine but don't turn around and tell me that you are somehow "objective" when all you are analyzing is a hand full of plays over the last 4 years acting as if you're a) in the huddle or b) know the playcall and can actually diagnose what went wrong. The "QB/WR/TE" formula recently is not "get a great QB and a great WR" it is "Get a QB that can run your offense and load up with 3-5 targets forcing the defense to pull nickel and dime backs off the bench and play 1/3 - 50% of the snaps. Ever watch a Pats game? Look at the Broncos or the Pack... How do they win? They spread opposition out and get rid of the ball quickly. Mike

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
At this point I'm not so confident the texans are a lock for the afc south title over the colts. Unless this team gets its collective head out of its Ashe I dont see any kind of serious post season success. I know there is a lot of football to be played but the first three weeks have been exciting yet eye opening. If there is a switch it needs to be flipped but it looks like the lights are not coming on.

Re: OK, I'm starting to panic
I wouldn't panic just yet. I think the team will play hard against the Seahawks and pick up a nice home win. Things will look a lot better next week with a 3-1 record. Just a matter of getting it done. Every player on the Texans roster can look themselves in the mirror and realize they can play better football. There really isn't anything more to say. I'm really excited for Sunday's game.

First tumble....

First tumble....Today when I was riding to school, I kinda crashed when I turned into a corner.... I'll post pictures once I get home.
I have some sort of a road rash on my knee, my skin's peeled off my palm and my elbow's stuffed up. I love riding, not training
Re: First tumble....Sorry to hear that.
Get that road rash cleaned up quickly and wash out all the rubbish from the graze and follow it up with antiseptic solution. And then get off to a doctor, they'll get you sorted. Have you got gloves? I'd recommend using those when riding - they'll take the impact if you go down.
Re: First tumble....
Normally, I use my gloves but since my commute to school is just 2km, I couldnt be stuffed to wear it. Oh and, the nurse in school already got me sorted, thanks for the concern. I love riding, not training
Re: First tumble....More importantly, how's the bike?
Re: First tumble....number 1 rule - I always wear gloves
and +1 to how's the bike?
Re: First tumble....The bike is fine, just some scratches on the pedals and the chain came off, which isnt really an issue.
I love riding, not training
Re: First tumble....Heres some pitures of my injury. Probably not the worst, but it's pretty bad on my scales...
I love riding, not training
Re: First tumble....Owww! That knee scar looks pretty nasty.
I guess you'll be back on the bike pretty soon with the battle scars. Wear them as a badge of honour - bandaged and wounded and already back on the bike.
Re: First tumble....Ow for sure, that looks like it would have stung . Heal well.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: First tumble....I'll be trying to commute tomorrow (with a lot more caution of course) but it's probably gonna hurt since whenever I bend or extend my knee after bending or extending my knee (if you know what I mean), it kinda hurts.
So if I was extended my knee for 5 mins, and I suddenly bend it, it's gonna hurt and vice versa (does it make sense?) Oh and, I found some scratches on the brifters. I love riding, not training
Re: First tumble....Riding will be the best thing to loosen up the bruises, Wilson.
Despite being old enough to know better, I've stacked twice in the last six months and each time left me with a very grazed and bruised knee. Riding will help! Do you know why you stacked? If you don't know, you won't know what to do different. FWIW, one of mine was from going too fast, the other from going too slow. My bike blog. Long on rumination, rambling and opinion. Why let facts ruin everything?
Re: First tumble....
I turned into a street too fast in wet weather... im not smart, am I... btw, I'll probably be riding to school tomorrow. I love riding, not training
Re: First tumble....I just realized if you look at my knee injury, it kinda resembles the shape of Australia
I love riding, not training
Re: First tumble....
Australia gave you a bite mark?!
Re: First tumble....
It shouldn't scar. I've had plenty of "road rash" like that before. Mostly from playing touch rugby on dry grass.
In my personal opinion, if you feel you need to wear gloves while riding to protect yourself when you come off then you obviously are coming off far too many times to be healthy. Each to their own of course, just my opinion. (It is sort of like wearing a helmet in case you bang your head in the kitchen. Actually now that I think about it, the number of times those cupboard doors have got me it would probably make a lot of sense. )
Re: First tumble....by the look of that I'm glad I haven't succumbed to a road crash for many years, although riding fixed might change that. My stacks in recent years have been on MTB and they tend to be tumbles, rather than slides, less grazing but more bruising I think.

Beautiful! The young ladies should be all over you now! It'll eventually clear up, but you'll still see it. I've got a good one on my right knee as well from over a year ago.

If not then you learned your lesson In the end - gravity works What is it with cycling? 30+ kmh and lycra???!!!

One of the most common questions we, as urban flyfishers, get from our non-fishing friends is: "why?"
Why do we fish tiny ponds in overcrowded, noisy parks in the middle of the city?
Why do we venture out amongst the homeless, seedy or just plain crazy? (The three are NOT necessarily one and the same – don't rush to judgment here).
Why do we get up way too early, creep around long after dark and fish with one eye always on the look out for gangbangers, thieves or unsympathetic cops?
Why do we not even think twice about squeezing through holes in fences, crawling through storm drains or scaling locked wrought iron gates to pursue our passion?
Why do we have fighting knives fastened rapid-deployment style to our pack straps yet carry giveaway food bars and pocket-size editions of the gospel of John within those same packs?
Why the heck would we be willing to tolerate all this stuff that seems so very foreign to the traditional concept of fly fishing?
Well, if a picture is worth a thousand words:
That's why.
I love this addiction called urban fly fishin'
