Pfeiffer Hall of Famer Jack Ingram to Be Inducted into Stanly County Sports Hall of Fame
April 22, 2013
ALBEMARLE, N.C. - One has been an athletic leader at Pfeiffer University for nearly 40 years. The other assisted the development of amateur athletics in the South Stanly area more than any other person. The 2013 inductees into the Stanly County Sports Hall of Fame are Jack Ingram and the late Kermit L. Young.
These two men will be recognized at the Stanly Chamber of Commerce's annual Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 29 at the Stanly Regional Medical Family and Education Center. After the two inductions and the special guest speaker's message, persons attending the ceremony will be treated to a heavy hors d'oeuvres reception.
Ingram is a native of Stanly County and attended North Stanly High School from 1966 to 1970, where he was a star basketball player for the Comets. Ingram then enrolled at Pfeiffer College where he played basketball and earned a BA degree in Business Administration and Economics in 1974. Almost immediately, Ingram began his career as a coach and administrative leader for Pfeiffer athletic programs.
From 1974 to 1976, Jack Ingram served as Assistant Basketball Coach for the Pfeiffer College men's basketball team. From 1975 to 1976, he also served as Head Coach for the Pfeiffer men's junior varsity basketball team.
From 1977 to 1982, Ingram was the Head Coach of the Pfeiffer women's basketball team, compiling a record of 72-53. His record included an undefeated conference championship in 1978 and advancement to the national tournament in 1979 with a no.13 national ranking. He was the conference Coach of the Year in 1978, and was runner-up for National Coach of the Year in 1979. The ladies on his basketball teams had an outstanding 93 percent graduation rate.
From 1977 to 1992 and again in 1996, Ingram served as Head Coach of the Pfeiffer women's softball team, compiling a record of 365-170. As head softball coach, his teams won four regular season conference championships, four conference tournament championships, a district championship in 1982, and state championships in 1979 and 1980. For 14 consecutive years, his teams finished first or second in the conference and advanced to the state playoffs. Ingram was selected conference softball Coach of the Year in 1970, 1981 and 1989, and was District Coach of the Year in 1982. With all this success, his softball players also had an incredible 96 percent graduation rate.
In 1980, Ingram earned his masters degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Since 1978, he has served as an Assistant Professor in the Pfeiffer University's Sports Management program and is currently the Department Head for that program. In the early 1990s, Ingram served as Pfeiffer's Athletic Director, and is currently serving as Acting Interim Athletic Director.
Other honors Jack Ingram has earned while at Pfeiffer include: serving as District Chairman for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics from 1992 to 1995; earning the Award of Merit from NAIA in 1995; and serving as Pfeiffer's Faculty Athletic Representative to the NCAA. In 1995, Jack Ingram was inducted into the Pfeiffer University Sports Hall of Fame. In 2000, the Pfeiffer softball field was renamed Jack Ingram Field. And in 2009, Ingram received the Outstanding Pfeiffer Alumnus Award.
While carrying out his many academic and athletic duties at Pfeiffer, Jack Ingram has also found the time to help as the Assistant Coach for the North Stanly girl's basketball team for the past eleven years.

What are the similarities between leading soldiers in the field and students in the classroom?
Bryan Santschi would know. A 25-year-old environmental science teacher at Buckeye Valley High School, he paid for his college degree by enrolling in the officer training program for the U.S. Army National Guard.
He sees the parallels.
To get through to his students, he needs to first gain their respect. Similarly to how he approaches soldiers under his command, that means getting to know them and learning about their personalities and interests.
The students, particularly the older ones, aren't that much different in age than his soldiers, and are dealing with some of the same personal issues: girls, immaturity, drama, etc.
"They're young, trying to figures themselves out," not unlike high school students, he said.
The main difference: unlike a bored student who might rather be texting their friends than learning geology, most soldiers appreciate the fact that what Santschi has to say could be the difference between life and death.
Santschi will have a chance to put his leadership to the test soon. This Tuesday, along with his Marion-based unit, he is deploying for a final round of training in Mississippi before his ultimate destination: Afghanistan, where he will serve a one-year term.
His unit, the Alpha Battery 1-134th Field Artillery Regiment, has been re-trained for infantry duty. Santschi will escort supply convoys through the mountains of Afghanistan, watching out for the enemy or other perils.
Practical and plain-spoken, Santschi doesn't mince words when the subject comes up. He could be hurt there. Or worse.
"It's something that you think about. It's definitely a possibility. I could lose a limb. It's not uncommon to get hit by an I.E.D. (improvised explosive device). It's definitely a possibility that crosses my mind," he said.
He and his 25-year-old wife, Jenna, have discussed the morbid subject. He has taken the legal steps so that their farm equipment will get transferred to her in the event of his death, rather than getting tied up in court. His farming friends have said they would see to that everything is taken care of.
But the Santschis are focusing more on Bryan's eventual return, and what that will mean for their marriage.
"It's going to be hard, but good," said Jenna. "We know God turns everything for the good."
On Sept. 11, 2001, Bryan Santschi was a sophomore at Buckeye Valley High School. His memories of the event are similar to those of other students. He was walking in the hall when a friend told him two planes had hit skyscrapers in New York City.
He remembers his classmates making jokes over the TV broadcast.
"I stood up and said, 'Do you realize that people here at BV are probably going to join the military and leave here to go over there?" he said.
The tragedy impacted him, and he plans to carry it with him to Afghanistan.
"Every generation has a war going on. And this is ours. I don't want to sit on the sidelines for my generation's battle," he said.
Allan Santschi, 60, was in the United States Marine Corps from 1969 to 1971. He remembers his son wearing his uniform for Halloween as a five-year-old. Jeannie Hall, who taught with Bryan's mother, Justine Santschi at Buckeye Valley West Elementary, remembers an 8-year-old Bryan drawing pictures of soldiers in school.
So when Bryan tried to enroll at West Point after high school, it didn't surprise anyone. But he didn't qualify because of a medical issue.
But in 2005, he was accepted into the ROTC program at Capital University. He intentionally signed up for combat arms, knowing it could place him in danger. He met Jenna at school and married her following a short engagement. Their wedding was in May 2008, just days after they graduated.
Santschi studied science because he likes to figure things out and work with his hands. A big part of his decision to become a teacher, besides the fact that he grew up watching his mom do it, was that it left him summers off, freeing him up to work on the family farm.
So the summer after he graduated, Santschi got a job at Buckeye Valley, and took over his late grandfather's farm outside Marion to grow soybeans, corn and wheat. He enjoys welding and working on machinery in a two-story white barn there.
While he appreciates the concern, he gets frustrated that people who know him treat his deployment as some kind of tragedy. He's grateful for the opportunity to serve in Afghanistan, the birthplace of 9/11 in many ways, he said.
"What pisses me off the most is people saying 'I'm sorry. Maybe you won't have to go. Maybe it will end.' I want to go. I could have been a combat engineer, but I wanted to be boots on the ground. I signed up to be a warrior, and I want to be treated like one, not a victim," he said.
So, he will trade the business casual of a teacher, the faded jeans and John Deere hat of a farmer, for military fatigues. And he'll trade the rolling hills that surround his farm for the mile-high altitudes of Afghanistan.
Like many military families, his parents, who live in Radnor, feel equal parts concern and pride. They and other family members plan to attend a call of duty ceremony in Marion Sunday where Santschi and his unit will be sent off.
"I've known this in my heart for a long time that he was going to go. I just have to have faith," Justine Santschi, now a 4th and 5th grade math teacher at Buckeye Valley North Elementary, said of her son. "He's a smart kid. He's going to protect those that he's with. I'm very proud of him and that he's going to serve our country."

Representatives from the N.C. Justice Center conducted a meeting Saturday at the Omega Center explain the benefits of the Affordable Care Act and to urge the 75 to 100 people who attended to stand up to their lawmakers in Raleigh who are refusing to expand Medicaid insurance.
Nicole Dozier of the N.C. Justice Center, who was one of the featured speakers, said the meeting was called "A Time to Learn," and it was to emphasize how low-income people were losing benefits because North Carolina lawmakers refuse to expand the Medicaid benefits through the Affordable Care Act.
"We think it is time for everyone in the state to learn about what is going on with the Affordable Care Act, in particular the blockage of expanding Medicaid to half a million North Carolinians and about the opportunities through the health benefits exchange," Dozier said. "We think North Carolina lawmakers, including the governor, made a bad decision in rejecting federal money and in not expanding Medicaid to people who deserve it. They deserve what the governor and lawmakers have, which is access to quality, affordable health care."
According to the N.C. Justice Center, North Carolina would receive $15 billion in federal funds if Medicaid was expanded and create 25,000 new jobs by 2016.
Dozier said she wanted people to learn more about the Affordable Care Act and share it in their communities and contact their lawmakers and tell them they did the wrong thing by not expanding Medicaid and they should fix it.
Otis Waterman Jr. of Vanceboro said he attended the meeting because he wanted to find a way to make things better for children and the elderly.
"We have a struggle going on with health care; we have a struggle going on with unemployment; and we have a struggle going on with the education system also; and if we are not here to represent (our rights), we will not be funded appropriately," Waterman said. "Children are going to be out without the proper education. I hope to learn we have some avenues to make things happen … making a change for the better for our children and the elders."
Adam Linker, health policy analyst with the Health Access Coalition who spoke at the event, said he wanted people to know there were many benefits in the Affordable Care Act, including subsidies to help people purchase insurance plans.
Much of the Affordable Care Act is implemented on a state level, and legislators have already made it more difficult for people to get health insurance, Linker said.
"So to really implement the Affordable Care Act and fulfill the promise of health care reform we need action in Raleigh," he said. "We can't just sit back and say the Affordable Care Act is taking care of things."
The Affordable Care Act has the potential to get nearly everyone in North Carolina insured, Linker said. About half the coverage comes from subsidies to buy private insurance and about half of the coverage comes from expanding Medicaid to all low-income people in North Carolina, he said.
North Carolina has 1.5 million uninsured people. If the governor and legislators had expanded Medicaid, it would have covered about 500,000 uninsured people, Linker said.
"While the rest of us are moving forward in 2014 with all the provisions they won't benefit from it," Dozier added.
In Craven County 19.6 percent of resident did not have health insurance in 2008-09 (the latest data available), compared to 15.9 percent in North Carolina. That year 10.3 percent of children in Craven County did not have health insurance. In December 2010, 14,623 residents were eligible for Medicaid in Craven County, according to information from the N.C. Institute of Medicine and N.C. Division of Medical Assistance.
Linker said it didn't matter if people supported or opposed health reform; they needed to take an interest in it.
"Where ever you stand politically you should want health reform implemented in a good way because if you don't do it in a good way it is going to end up being more expensive for all of us; it's going to mean higher insurance rates for individuals; its going to mean higher insurance rates for companies," he said.
Marshall Williams, president of the New Bern NAACP, said there were a lot of promises made by the governor and lawmakers and they needed to be held responsible.
"All those legislators in Raleigh need to remember they are not going to push us back," Williams said. "We are going forward and 2014 will tell the tale."
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. The law puts in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will roll out over four years and beyond.
In 2014 tax credits for families will be available to help the middle class afford insurance. The credits will become available for those with income between 100 percent and 400 percent of the poverty line who are not eligible for other affordable coverage, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
The Congressional Budget Office has determined that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is fully paid for, will provide coverage to more than 94 percent of Americans while staying under the $900 billion limit that President Obama established.
The "Time to Learn" event at the Omega Center was sponsored by Concerned Citizens of Coastal Carolina and the New Bern NAACP and Organizing For ActionCraven.

Spring Bulb for Schools: Results 2005-2012
The 'Spring Bulbs for Schools' project allows 1000s of schools scientists to work with Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales to investigate and understand climate change.
Since October 2005, school scientists have been keeping weather records and noting when their flowers open, as part of a long-term study looking at the effects of temperature on spring bulbs.
Certificates have now been sent out to all the 2,933 pupils that completed the project this year.

Through the Keyhole in the Prefab
A Window into the Industry Collections - May 2015


text:
By Juliette Dallas-Freeney, Networx
October is that time of year, at least in New York City, where one day you're bundled up in a scarf and jacket and the next you're ripping off all those layers because it's so freaking humid. And sometimes, your body just can't handle it. With these unpredictable weather changes, your immune system goes into overdrive to try and keep up. But when it can't adapt to the irregular environmental changes, this can impact your body negatively. That's why people are likelier to get sick when the weather is so drastic.
If you feel the sniffles coming on, do me (and yourself) a favor and don't reach for the cold medicine. Instead, reach for the sky and try a few of my favorite low-impact yoga poses to fight colds and boost immunity. Your body and mind will thank you.
1. Chest-opening upper back bends like the cobra pose. These types of poses stimulate blood flow to the thymus gland, which is in the center of the chest and the locus of the immune system. The thymus gland produces T-cells, a type of white blood cell crucial for protecting the body from infection. Try the bow pose for a more challenging chest-opener.
2. Circulation-boosting inversions like the legs-up-the-wall pose. Inversions increase circulation of the lymphatic system. Lymph is rich in white blood cells, which we already know is key for a healthy immune system. These types of poses are also beneficial for toxin removal from tissues of the body. Try the plow pose or a supported shoulderstand for a more challenging inversion.
3. The neck and jaw muscle-relaxing (and roar-inducing!) lion pose. You might feel a little silly doing this one since the lion pose actually imitates a roaring lion, but if you feel a sore throat coming on, this pose is like a massage for your tonsil glands and lymph nodes in your neck. This is also a great pose for kids. So you can roar your way to health–and give a little stress-relieving laugh a little while you're at it!

CHANEL Watches was awarded at the 13th ceremony of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) for the MADEMOISELLE PRIVÉ watch with a "Camélia brodé" dial which was elected best in the "Artistic crafts watch" category.
Since 1924, the House of Lesage has been producing highly elaborate embroidery for the major names in Haute Couture and Ready-to-Wear, requiring long hours of work and a unique "savoir-faire." For the first time, the expertise of Lesage has been applied towards the creation of a watch dial. Each embroidery created is one of a kind. Expressing the gestures of the embroiderer throughout the meticulous process, such is this camellia, Gabrielle Chanel's favorite flower, produced with colored silk threads using the needlepoint-painting technique.
The Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix (GPHG) is intended to salute the excellence of worldwide horological production, and annually rewards the finest creations and the most important operators in the watchmaking sector. The GPHG prize giving ceremony, which is traditionally held each November at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, draws elite representatives of the international watchmaking profession.
The House of CHANEL is honored by this prize, which salutes the collaboration between the different exceptional "savoir-faire" that have always been at the heart of its creative process.

February 19, 2011
NEWBERRY, S.C. Both Pfeiffer University tennis teams scored victories on Saturday afternoon at Newberry College as the women shutout the Wolves 9-0 while the men escaped with a 5-4 win. After Saturday, the women stand at 2-2 on the year while the men remain unbeaten at 3-0.
On the womens side, Pfeiffer as a team lost just one of the 16 sets played in South Carolina as Alena Krutkina and Cari Hopson rolling in singles play with straight-set 6-0, 6-0 wins.
On the mens side, Pfeiffer trailed 2-1 after doubles play and went on to secure four points in singles for the narrow win. Philip Lawson and Johan de Wit notched the doubles point while Lawson won a three-set match at #1 singles. The bottom three on Saturday came through for the Falcons as Ben Hunter, Luis Villalta and Stephen Tyndel were victorious in the 4-6 matches.

Having missed the qualification round last year, Babkina is expected to be back to lead the team at EuroBasket Women this summer, like she did with a team-high 14.4 points-per-game two years ago in Poland. It turned out to be a roller-coaster first major tournament for Babkina, finishing top of both the assists and turnover categories. She has been a recognised talent since her youth, representing her country at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing whilst still a teenager. She can score, pass and generally pull the strings, making her one of the leaders of this young team. Energetic and sometimes exuberant in her decision-making, she's usually great fun to watch. At club level she has won plaudits and championships in Poland; played in the EuroLeague Women Final Eight with Fenerbahce; and taken on a key role at Targoviste. However, last season she struggled for court time with USK Prague.

I'm firmly on the black & gold color scheme bandwagon no matter what the name is
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Not a fan of Dukes at all
Formally known as WhoDatMan504
Dukes is pretty good. I could get behind that.
If it's Dukes, can this guy be our mascot?
Dukes could be branded like Knights only the name Dukes fits New Orleans much better. Pretty sure no Knight stepped foot in New Orleans other than perhaps Sir Elton John...but an actual Duke has (leave David out of this). Again, it's all about the artwork as will be the case with any name. Crappy picture I know but perhaps could serve as a guide? Here is the The Duke of Bourbon...notice any familiar symbols? What about blue and gold?
But of course, how could I have neglected Gladys, the Knight whose name this re-branded team could bear?
My top choices are:
1) Navigators- It represents the city's status as global destination, both historically and presently.
2) Creoles- Especially as Crescenty City Creoles, it sounds like an old jazz band, and could look nice with some faux-retro styling.
3) Mojo- Has its roots in voodoo, but is also a blues reference.
4) Krewe- More of a fallback option to me, but I wouldn't be at all upset about it.
A Duke is a monarch ruling over a duchy usually right under the King (or Queen).
A Knight is a warrior who upholds a code of chivalry related to the values of faith, loyalty, courage and honor.
I'll take the honorable elite warrior over the pansy robe wearing brother of the King. Just saying.
Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich attended the 1872 Mardi Gras celebrations, where he was guest of honor reviewing the inaugural Rex parade.
quick question: My uncle told me that there was a New Orleans Knights team a while ago. He didn't remember what sport it was, but was pretty sure we had a minor league team with that name. The only thing I can find is the Southern Knights. Does anyone know anything about this?
Wow, we might as well use the Knights.
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
Dukes of Dixieland have been in New Orleans a few times.
Also, my friend was a Duke in Thoth. Another guy was a Duke in Endymion. I think Rex has Dukes as well.
this is all fun and games, but I would be almost shocked if either Knights or Dukes emerged when it really counted... I especially wouldn't be a fan of the Dukie and Duchess remarks that would surely accompany one of the names...

Heredis 2014 offers two new views for your genealogy: the Extended Family View and the Migrations Map.
The Find Relationships function is a great tool that analyzes all the connections of your file to bring out all the links that unite two people.
Make the most of Heredis Online, new service for publishing and research on the Internet.
The family in all its glory!
» Immediate Family
Heredis offers three different angles for visualizing your family. The Immediate Family Tab displays all the members of the immediate family (parents, spouses, children, grandparents). Go straight to the point by adding a new family member in the Immediate Family tab. Adding a child, a spouse, a parent, a grandparent is obvious! One click and you access the quick entry screen.
» Extended Family View
» Migrations Map
To go further with your research!
» A smart tool
Your Search assistant can take stock of your work by displaying the progress of the life of your ancestor. The display of known or missing information for the primary person and those around him/her will highlight certain unexplored tracks. At a glance, you will know if a date or place is missing. You will know if you have associated a source, witnesses, media, notes, with any event.
» A successful tool
The Search Wizard proposes various online research tools targeted to sites such as Heredis Online, Ancestry, MyHeritage, Family Search… Heredis pre-fills relevant data that is already known. At any moment, you may find new information that will add to your work. If a search has not been successful, the record of your previous research allows you to come back to it at a later date.
» A powerful tool
Memorize different family branches, with ancestors as well as descendants, as a base for your research and its evolution. Each person displayed in the branch has a visual cue showing the status of main events (complete, incomplete, missing). You have a display filter available to choose between branch ends, complete persons, persons for whom further research is required…
Data Entry, one of the Heredis strong points
» Data Entry control
To avoid mistakes, the data entry control is permanent. Text formatting is automatic and text input predictive. Heredis will automatically recognize the main French and English language town names, but also given names and professions within a word list of more than 15,000 names and 2,000 occupations. Example, when entering a forename, the sex is automatically determined. Of course, for Cameron, you choose if it is a man or a woman. Take full advantage of automatic entry in all sections. Whether it's a nickname, a title, or a subdivision of a place, Heredis will suggest previously entered data for each type of information.
» Root person
It sometimes happens that you need to change the root person. Move to the person in question and set it as No. 1. Heredis will then simply re-number the entire file.
» Automatic calculation of dates and ages
To avoid additional data entry, Heredis automatically calculates the date of birth of persons whose age is known only at an event. The age of the father mentioned in a birth certificate allows you to create the father or to complete his details by indicating his probable year of birth. This will make it easier to find the birth certificate of the father in order to progress in your genealogy.
» Customized data entry
In all input screens, Heredis provides several different ways of working. To display only the main headings, use the Basic mode. To benefit from all sections of possible entry, use the Comprehensive mode. Finally, to display only the information that interests you, select the Customized mode, which you can reset at any time. You may easily change the mode, depending on the information to be entered by clicking the indented wheel button.
» High speed Data Entry!
The time you spend on data entry will be reduced by 50 % because you will enter data for all the members of the family on one screen. No longer any need to move from one screen to another, everything is done on the Family Group Data tab: the primary person, the parents, unions, children, and even spouses of the children are shown.
» Enter data anywhere!
Add a child directly, or a grandfather on the Immediate Family tab. On the Personal data tab, you may enter the whole life of an person, including all unions. With the Family Group Data tab, you can create a whole family line.
» Unlimited
A genealogy file is never ending. With Heredis, there are no limits: persons, items, events, notes, sources and witnesses.
» Notes
Heredis is equipped with all the tools for text formatting. Enter an person, couple, event, place, name, media notes… and have fun in making them more readable by changing their format: a little color, a word in bold, titles, bulleted lists. A real treat!
» A Complete Data Entry
With Heredis, your data entry is finally complete! Anyone who has played a role in the lives of your ancestors may be associated with their record: witness to a marriage, declarant of a birth, cousin present at a decoration ceremony, etc. You can create witnesses for each event. If a witness is already in your file, you may associate him or her by simple drag and drop. This is a real advantage, for genealogists know well that witnesses are very often family members (grandparents, uncles and aunts or their spouses).
Your genealogy is universal
Everywhere, at all times, with everbody else!
Heredis is open to all platforms. Whether you have a PC, a Mac, an iPad or iPhone, your genealogy will always be to hand. Your Heredis file is compatible with all recent versions of Heredis. You work from any device. At any moment, a change may be done on any device. Synchronize. Your genealogy is up-to-date on all your devices. No longer any lost data! Your data is saved everywhere. Your illustrations are integrated directly into your genealogy file.
You cannot imagine all the possibilities open to you. Exchange your data easily with other genealogists: send a branch to your cousin who has a Mac, recover your friend's file from his iPhone, synchronize your work on the family computer and your phone.
A huge variety of family tree charts.
» No limits
10, 50 or even 100 generations? The size of your descendant, ascendant or mixed tree charts, is unlimited. Convenient when you have a large family.
» Designed tree charts
The Heredis designed tree charts are not only aesthetic. They are simple to build. No other software can boast of such transcendent tree charts with only 2 clicks. The formatting is powerful and changes are made in real time. From A4 to A0, the graphical tree charts have up to 7 generations. Drawn by an artist, these ascendant tree charts have been worked to provide you with appropriate layouts for each paper size. You therefore now have original and aesthetically pleasing tree charts that require only be printed!
» Hourglass
You may show the ancestry and descent of a person on the same tree chart. This overview can be very useful.
» Ascendant Tree charts
Discovering your ancestors is great. Presenting and showing them graphically is even better. With Heredis, and with only 2 clicks, you build ascendant tree charts of all sizes, in all shapes: Single-page pedigree charts, Fan Charts…
» Descendant Tree charts
The display of your ancestry with an optimized and clarified presentation is now possible. The various spouses of each descendant are presented in the same space. They have a number that is found with each child. Very convenient for locating and viewing half-brothers and sisters.
» Construction parameters
This is clear and accurate. Choose a theme; specify the desired size, or the number of generations in the unlimited tree charts. You can hide or exclude confidential persons, exclude secondary persons or marked persons. Adjust the size of boxes in the tree chart, change the contents of boxes of a generation, apply a different color to an important ancestor, turn the highest boxes … All this easily. The connecting lines of the unlimited tree charts are also modifiable.
» Navigating through a tree chart
The list of persons in any tree chart is convenient for locating an ancestor in a large tree chart. Look for them in the Persons panel of the chart (by name, forename, gender). A click on a name and the person is selected in the tree chart. Double-click on the name and you instantly slide to him.
Powerful and easily handled tools.
» Find duplicates
Heredis controls for duplicates during data entry, but imported data from other genealogists or a moment of inattention can create duplicates. This search tool clearly shows the list of potential duplicates. If there is a duplicate, you may merge the two persons by selecting the relevant information. If the two persons are clearly distinct, Heredis allows you to report that they no longer appear as potential duplicates in any future research.
Hundreds of genealogical records
» The written Book of your Family
For ancestors and descentants, the illustrated book tells the story of your genealogy and prepares for you a entirely written up, real family book.
The ADVANTAGE: view at a glance all the pictures you have on your ancestors in your illustrated book. A real family photo album for your genealogy.
» The Sheets
Edit sheets for persons or couples. Print, export, analyze, rework every ancestor. With synthetic or detailed sheets, Heredis displays the information you need.
A truly agreeable work environment
» Toolbar
You have direct access to the functions you use most often with the toolbar. Checking consistency of data or Find duplicates, Notes or Internet publishing: you display only what you use. The Customize button is always available to make changes to your toolbar. Alter the size of icons, display the text under the icons, add or remove buttons, change the order of buttons. Perfectly adapted to the way you work!
Windows System Requirements
- Windows XP SP3 or VISTA or 7 or 8
- 250 MB disk space required
- Screen 1024×700 minimum
- Internet connection for research, publishing & integrated maps

Erskine would shoot 55% in the second-half leading to their 50% for the day. Josh Humphrey led the Falcons with 16 points and nine rebounds as one of three in double-figures.

[quote author="Rod"]I'm not sure if you are saying you believe this, or you are making the claim that most others feel this way. I would think that a clear conscience is a prerequisite to happiness.
It was only in reference to altruism and the value many seem to place on it.
I'm sure happiness can be a byproduct of a clear conscience for lots of people. But I also think that a good many folks give their consciences alibis every now and then.

Anyone here have a XE-1? or Nex-6?
New photographer here.. Have been spending a LOT of time researching and originally I planned on buying a Nice DSLR, d600. The more time i spent reading about the new mirror-less system I believe it would be the best for me.
I have no problem bringing this with my everywhere, while its cheaper and more compact then a SLR. It wont perform like the fullframe but in the end if i have a larger album from one event do to the compact, that is fine by me.
I have gathered all the information between the XE1 and NEX6 and to me its a Draw,
pro's - hand down better still image, love the retro design, fast glass lens in the kit for (will do a lot of low light) Very drawn to it
con's - 1400$, rather bad video (not buying for video) have to order off amazon. Not sure if LR4.2 is compatible yet?
pro's - PRICE! can get the "kit" + 16mm wide angel for around 900. Good video, RAW with LR.
Con's image not quite as good as XE1, supplied lens is not fast.
Just looking for real world experience with these cameras. Any input would be helpful! thank you everyone.

I personally shoot in all manual mode with all of my cameras, and for the new mirrorless cameras on the market, the X-E1 lends itself best for this with the retro, physical dials. And the image quality is outstanding for an APS-C sensor. It's because they are not using an anti-aliasing filter like all other digital cameras; but they avoid the bad moire by not using the standard Bayer pattern on the sensor, thus, better quality than even some full-frame sensor cameras (according to all the experts that I have linked to in previous posts about this.) There's a reason even Leica owners are buying the X-E1 as a second, "backup" camera and then instead using it as their main camera; great image quality, light and compact (for street photography) classic, familiar controls and inexpensive (compared to a Leica or even most better DSLRs.) There is nothing not to like about it.
As for Lightroom, there is a lot of mixed and misleading comments about the X-E1 not working with Lightroom. Most of these are from people who have tried the older X-Pro 1 using LR 4.1 But I only shoot in RAW, using the latest version of Lightroom, and I have not encountered one problem nor the "smearing" problem people report.
Here was my first test photo I did with the Fujifilm X-E1 shot in RAW mode (I didn't get the kit lens, I opted for the 35mm f/1.4 which is an amazing lens! And my local store had them in stock.) One continuous light source.

I have the Nex-7 and love it. To your list add limited lens selection. It's improving but nowhere near what is available for Canon or Nikon DSLRs.
The small size is great for taking it places you might not want to take a larger camera.

[QUOTE=genshi;16726436]I've written a ton about the Fujifilm X-E1 on here lately (though it mostly has gone ignored it seems) but, coming from higher-end Canon DSLRs and also shooting medium format film, I have to say the Fujifilm X-E1 is one of the most delightful cameras I have ever used!

Dont think what you have written has gone not noticed! You are actually the reason I paused my purchase of a D600. Between your photos and my friend having a fuji x100 is the reason why I am going mirrorless. I watn quality but this is just a hobby and the bulk of the DSLR will be annoying at times when i am out.
Really love the Fuji, i just dont know if it is worth the extra 500-600 over the NEX-6 trying to decide on that right now. Have no been able to hold either camera yet. no one around me has them

I have the XE1 (and X100 and XPro1) and they've completely replaced my Canon 5D2.
I've not used the Sony (I held one once for about a minute), but from what I understand the image quality is also superb, the handling is TOTALLY different, and -- again from what I hear -- there's only one really good lens, the Carl Zeiss 24mm.
You need to hold both cameras.
Have you thought about buying a used Fuji to save money?

I think the decision is very easy in the end: these are two good, but completely different cameras. If you prefer working with old school cameras, it's a no-brainer, go for the X-E1. I'm patiently waiting for the X100s *

And the best part of the X-Pro1/X-E1 system is that the back flange distance is so short that virtually any lens can be adapted to it.

Thanks for the responses. I'm used to using mechanical beasts, so I don't really care that much if the autofocus is superfast or being able to shoot 90 frames a second in the dark. Getting image quality I can live with is more important to me and being able to use my current stock of lenses with it would be a valuable bonus, though I know that these days there are adapters available that will allow many lens/body combinations.

Just replaced my D5000 with a NEX-6. No regrets. Much smaller size and photos are just as good if not better than the D5000, IMO. Video recording is way better. I was looking to downsize as I already have a D800 that I use for the serious stuff. I too looked at the Fuji Ex-1 and came to the conclusion that for pure photography, the Ex-1 has the advantage. However, I wanted a device that can take great photos as well as video and I think the NEX-6 has the upper hand from this perspective. Either way, I don't think you can wrong - you just need to weigh your options.

I have both X100S and NEX-6
I am having a VERY hard time deciding between X100S and NEX-6. I have both any can only keep one. Recently upgraded from NEX-5R so I have a lot of NEX lenses which makes decision harder.
X100S is a much nicer camera to shoot with, as the controls feel like they were made for a camera. Sony controls by comparison feel like made by a general electronics company.
Small thing may not get mentioned, while both cameras can be quite slim, the X100S feels more confident in a pocket as the lens cap wraps around the outside of the lens. The Sony lens cap which grabs onto the threads inside the lens barrel not only sticks out more, but feels like it could come off easier. So X100S slimmer and feels more confident in transport.
I think except for long zoom though, and macro the fixed lens of the X100S is as capable as the multitude of lenses for the NEX system.
NEX-6 is a much better stealth street camera due to the flip out LCD. Holding a camera up to your face is no where near as stealth as holding one at waist level. NEX-6 can also have its shutter remote controlled by a smart phone, much nicer than "timer" shots where you want to get yourself into the picture. WiFi setup is awkward though. While Wifi from an iPhone to an NEX camera works fine, strangely NEX cameras do not work with Apple Airport wireless routers. They see them as no signal when there is a high signal and even if they grab it momentarily it will never stay connected. All non-wireless Apple routers I have tried work fine.
I don't think they extra low light sensitivity of the X makes any real world difference between the still very capable low light of the Sony.
As to the X100S having superb OOC JPEGs well yes it defintely does. But are they perfect? NO. I still find I have to adjust them in lightroom. Whether light balance is closer or further from reality, in both cases it is just a one touch eyedropper reference to correct the while balanace.
My newborn daughter has lots of dark hair. Always lose the details in her hair even with the Fuji. Have to adjust shadows in lightroom.
So both cameras require post-processing IMO.
OTOH for all the complaints I have heard about Fuji X RAW files still being a problem in lightroom 4.4, I just don't see the problem. Works great for me and better than starting with Fuji JPEG. Maybe you have to be an uber-obsessed pixel peeper to see it.
Hope this helps. I realise I am a little late to the thread but I know people are till doing a lot of comparing between these.
Maybe for starting out fresh an XE-1 with a few lenses would be the better investment than starting fresh with an NEX-6. Biggest killer for the Fuji is the shutter speed. Not as good on the XE-1 and the Fuji X100S with firmware 1.1 as it now delivers, or with firmware 1.2 as now available, does not have great focus speed as so many reviews claim. The NEX-6 with hybrid PDAF focus kills the Fuji X100S. Then again neither is as amazing as the OMD in good light (which I have also owned).

Interesting thread.
I've been trying to decide between the X-E1 and the NEX 6, and two days ago placed an order for the NEX 6.
I think the Fujis look fantastic for stills. The lens quality and lack of antiailiasing filter produce incredibly sharp shots. I really like the design too.
For me though, this is a second camera to my Canon 5DII (and a replacement for my Panasonic GX1 - I want a 3:2 sensor!). I wanted small size and real flexibility.
The NEX 6 has real flexibility. The video mode is great, the sensor works well with Leica format glass (I have a Voigtlander 15), there are some good lenses finally, there are smaller lenses than the Fuji has, built in timelapse mode will be useful...
Additionally, what pushes me in Sony's direction is the interesting prospect of full frame from this same camera mount in the future!
|May 3, 2013, 03:59 AM
I went the opposite way firestarter! I've also got the 5DII and at first got the NEX 7 (replacement for the Canon S95!) to complement it but was disappointed with the 18-55 and, not wanting to wait 5 or 6 months for the Zeiss 32mm to come out, I returned it. It felt great in the hand though. I ended up with an X-E1 and am very pleased with it but have no interest in video so the situation is different.
|May 3, 2013, 07:36 AM
Not to hijack the thread but... I have been considering adding a mirrorless to the stable (the stable only consists of a D90) recently, especially with a month long trip in Wyoming coming up. I was looking at the Nikon 1 series, mainly for the lens compatibility with the adapter, but I'm not that impressed by them.
I've always been impressed with the Fuji X series though. Here's my question. The EX-1 and X100S come in around $1,300 to $1,400. The X20 can be had for abour $600. Is there $700 worth of difference between them?
The X20 has a 2/3 sensor instead of the 23.6 x 15.6 in the other two (12mp vs 16.3).
The X20 has lower ISO sensitivity 12800 vs 25600.
The X20 has a higher FPS.
The X20 has the shortest battery life.
The X20 does 4:3 at 4000 x 3000 where the other two will do 3:2 at 4896 x 3264.
There are some physical differences between them but I guess the biggest difference is the sensor and low light capability. I'm a missing anything else? Does the sensor on the EX-1 and X100S simply put it in a different class. Reviews for all 3 are superb. If anyone has any experience with the X20 and the others I was just wondering what justifies the doubling in price for the high end Fujis?
Edit* May have just answered my own question. I didn't realise initially that the X20 had a fixed lens. Looks like a really nice camera but I don't think I could settle for only 1 option on the lens. I wish I was more confident in the Nikon 1 series.

JDDavis, Sorry I can't be a lot of help to you. The only 4/3 camera I'm familiar with is the Panasonic GH2, and that only because a friend had one. Yes, for me there's $700 worth of difference between that and the X-E1, but I've heard good things about the X20 so wouldn't like to extrapolate that far. I got the X-E1 to complement the Canon 5DII and though some people think that landscapes aren't the Fuji's best subject, for conference photos I took recently under very mixed lighting conditions, the X-E1 on auto WB was so good I didn't use the Canon after the first day.
By the way, the Fuji X100 and X100s are both fixed lens cameras with 35mm equivalent lenses, though there is a wide-angle adapter which will take it to 28mm equivalent. You might like to check the Fuji X-Forum. There's a lot of information on there you might find useful.
|May 3, 2013, 12:33 PM
One reason I got the Nex-7 was because it is hard for me to fight the glare off of screens and it is nicer to use the electronic view finder in bright surroundings. I the screen mostly for low shots and shots up high over people and fences. It is indeed a full-featured camera and bad results are my fault alone because I have several old high-end lenses from days of yore.
I do admire the Fuji cameras. Really nice as well.
When I see or handle a DSLR...they just seem huge. Even my old and quite compact and wonderful Nikon D40 seems so unnecessarily large now. I would never go back except for when needing a stabilized camera with enormous telephoto lenses.

X100s hands down. I have the original X100 and love it to bits. The colors, sharpness. Just everything. The small improvements they made on the s will make it the perfect camera. Yes you can't zoom but with that camera you won't want to. You definitely wouldn't regret the X100s.

Fujifilm X-E1 in Action!
The photos below are [sneaky self portraits] from my iPhone, but I wanted to show the X-E1 in action; I had a major event yesterday and this was my sole camera... 7 hours of straight shooting and the X-E1 did remarkably well (all shot handheld, all manual settings, no flash used and only one battery!) Details of event below the photos.
Behind the scenes at Infinity Tattoo for the Portland 2013 Kitchen Ink event with me photographing 11 Tattoo Artists inking 11 Chefs, then off to Imperial restaurant with each Chef making a dish inspired by the tattoo (actual photos of the event coming soon.) The camera I shot the event with was the Fujifilm X-E1 with the 35mm Lens.
I got this particular self portrait by using the self-timer on the Camera+ app on my iPhone which was mounted in the Phocus camera case/wide-angle lens kit.

Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday January, 20
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday January, 20
David Banks
Ravens / Patriots Over 51.5
The AFC Championship Game this season is a rematch of last year's championship game at the same venue, as the New England Patriots are once again hosting the Baltimore Ravens at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA at 6:30 ET on CBS. The Patriots prevailed in this game 23-20 last season, and then these teams met again in the regular season this year with the Ravens prevailing in another close but higher scoring game 31-30 back in September with replacement officials doing the game.
The Ravens have always defended Tom Brady well, so we may not see the same offense that dismantled the Houston Texans 41-28 in the divisional round this week. Yes, the Pats put up 30 points in the regular season meeting, but remember that Baltimore's best pass rusher Terrell Suggs was out for that game. Suggs and Ray Lewis are now both playing at the same time, something that did not happen even once during the regular season, and when you add in the blossoming of Paul Kruger as an outstanding rush linebacker as the year went on, you may see the Baltimore defense here that made Brady look very ordinary in this game last year when he completed just 22-of-36 passes for 239 yards with two interceptions and no touchdown passes. Also, expect Baltimore to employ a ball control offensive game plan here in an attempt to keep Brady and the New England offense on the sideline as long as possible.
That Ravens' game plan will probably start with heavy doses of Ray Rice, who rushed for 101 yards on 20 carries in the regular season meeting. Now the Patriots' run defense did improve as the year went on, as New England in fact finished seventh in the NFL in rushing defense during the season allowing only 101.4 yards per game on 3.9 yards per carry. However, the Denver Broncos finished fourth in rushing defense while allowing 3.6 yards per carry, and that did not stop Rice from rushing for 131 yards against them last week. That rushing success also freed up Joe Flacco to have one of his best games ever given what was at stake, as he threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns in the 38-35 overtime upset win. Baltimore may rely more on Rice this week as it tries to play keep-away, but Flacco should again have success when he is call upon as long as the Patriots have to worry about Rice. Also, the Baltimore offensive line did an outstanding job against a Denver defensive line that tied for the NFL lead with 52 sacks, as Flacco was only sacked once all game, and that is not to mention all the running lanes the line opened up for Rice.
Believe it or now, the Patriots are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 playoff games overall including 2-7 ATS here at home. The Ravens meanwhile are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 playoff road games. Also, the underdogs are now 3-0-1 ATS in the last four head-to-head meetings with two of those underdog covers being by Baltimore in the playoffs.

DENVER (+1) over Oklahoma City
Denver is coming off a two losses, including a 97-117 loss in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. The Nuggets are usually at their best after a loss, especially when the opponent is coming off a win. Denver is now 47-17-1 ATS when rested after a loss against an opponent off a win (4-2 ATS this season), including 20-4 ATS as an underdog. My ratings favor Oklahoma City by 2 points, so the line could be a bit higher, but I'll lean with Denver based on the strong team trend.

Illinois State -2.5
Illinois State has too much talent to be 0-6 inside the Missouri Valley. The Redbirds are simply sick and tired of losing and are going to be extremely motivated to get their first conference win against their in-state rivals. The last time these two teams played, Illinois State came away with a 20-pt win. Southern Illinois hasn't exactly been playing well either, as they are just 1-5 inside the Missouri Valley. The Redbirds are a solid 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games at Southern Illinois and are favored on the road for a reason tonight.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Atlanta Falcons
Play: San Francisco 49ers -3½
The Georgia Dome is going to be raucous to say the least and the fans do have an opportunity to impact the flow of the 49ers offense. Of course, the 49ers have worked on a silent count knowing it is going to be a far different atmosphere than the friendly confines of Candlestick. The simulator shows a high probability that the 49ers will win this game by 6 or more points. 49er QB Kaepernick is coming off a record breaking playoff game, but in this game the star just might be Frank Gore. The biggest matchup advantage for the 49ers is to pound the ball. They rank second in the NFL averaging 5.2 rushing yards per attempt and will be going against a Dirty Bird defense ranking 28th allowing 4.8 yards per carry. This run threat becomes magnified in play action calls with Kaepernick fully capable of pulling the ball down and taking off. The plays that were so successful last week, were created by the 49er receivers streaking down field running either fly or post patterns and getting defenders to turn their backs to the pocket. When Kaepernick saw the backs the Packers defenders, he knew he had big chances to run the ball. With Crabtree and Vernon Davis able to stretch the field with vertical routes, it will be a massive task for the Falcons to contain the 49er running attack by adding a safety to the box. Even when a running play is called, Kaepernick can check to several other plays when he sees eight men in the box. Falcons can blitz well, but have failed miserably against mobile quarterbacks this season. Moreover, the middle of the field was wide open in last week's dramatic win allowing Seattle to complete very high percentage pass plays in space. Seattle's Zack Miller was a nightmare for the Falcons defense and you can be assured Vernon Davis and Crabtree will be running routes into that area of the field. So, truly, I just don't see how Atlanta can stop the very physical 49er ground game. 49ers are a solid 10-1 ATS when facing struggling passing defenses allowing 7 or more passing yards per attempt over the last 3 seasons; 15-4 ATS facing generous defensive teams allowing >=5.65 yards per play over the last 3 seasons.
Here are my prop bets for this game: Given the running attack that i see dominating this game, I like playing 49ers -1 ½ to be the team with the most first downs laying -105. Frank Gore at 11/4 to have the most rushing yards of any back in both Championship games. OVER 80 ½ Frank Gore rushing yards. Best of Luck to everyone. Enjoy the games.

No, he didn't. You built an argument that you wanted him to be putting forward. You filled in the details, attacked the argument, and that was that. But that's not what he said. I took him to be doing something rather different.
People point to numbers in saying that LeBron is a better player of this or that sort than Kobe.
Kobe typically plays a certain way; so his scoring numbers are better, but other numbers are not as high.
Kobe has clearly changed the way he's playing, and so far the number suggest that he's doing it at an incredible level. The numbers are, so far, better all-around than James's (pts,ast,reb at least).
In posting HIS numbers, Rondo didn't change his style of play at all, so Rondo is irrelevant. You brought in Rondo; he didn't. It was your assumption that Rondo mattered.
So while this five game stretch IS evidence that Kobe can do something compared to LeBron, the 14 games that Rondo posted certain numbers are not evidence of anything related to this debate.
That's why I said, "What on earth are you talking about?" and you response, "Simple," is simply misguided.
