Beautiful 'Sunrise' Hotel Lights Up China's Countryside
The Sunrise Kempinski Hotel in Beijing, is located on the shores of China's Yanqi Lake and offers breathtaking views of the Yanshan Mountains and the Mutianyu Great Wall. But visitors may be just as likely to gasp when taking in the hotel itself. Constructed to evoke the look of a rising sun, the shimmering all-glass facade is made from 10,000 panels and is illuminated with LED lights at night, like something straight out of Star Wars. Inside, the amenities are equally jaw-dropping, including nine restaurants and bars, and a spa, fitness centers and 306 ultra-modern guest rooms.

Bolivia's Hotel Palacio de Sal Hotel & Spa is built entirely of salt: Walls, floors, ceilings, and much of the decor including some chairs, tables, beds and sculptures are constructed from one million salt blocks. The hotel itself is built on a salt flat, so naturally the building materials were locally sourced. The 30-room resort has saunas, steam rooms and, unsurprisingly, saltwater baths.

But from the other side, the barn offers a stark contrast to the serene countryside. Half of the house is cantilevered over a descending slope, giving a wide view of the British landscape. It's not a hotel; there are no services. But it sure is a unique spot to rent out. The barn sleeps 8 and costs about $1,100 for four nights.

Luxury apartments completed in West Cumbrian village
Last updated at 19:59, Thursday, 10 May 2012
Work to turn the former police headquarters at Brigham into 10 luxury apartments and two houses has been completed this week.
The controversial development was delayed for four months because of issues with installing gas and water.
But the completed two-bedroom apartments and homes are now on the market with Penrith Farmers' and Kidd's in Cockermouth.
The apartments are up for sale for between £125,000 and £135,000 and the houses are £130,000 each.
Mobi Developments Limited was granted planning permission last year.
Villagers and the parish council objected to the proposals because, they said, the 1960s-built office block was an eyesore.
Mohammed Ajaib, owner of Mobi Developments Limited, based in Newcastle, said there had already been a lot of interest in the site.

Have your say
Having witnessed this project on an almost daily basis from start to finish I would have to agree with both Pippin and anon. They've been somewhat conservative in their opinion. Quality is not a word that could be associated with this development and I'd suggest they'll be empty for a long time.
I don't know how these passed planning regs, they stick out like a sore thumb and can be viewed from the top roundabout in Cockermouth. They are really not inkeeping with the village.

Hunky Daniel couldn't have it better -- great parents, a successful career as an investment banker, and the beautiful Jen as his fiancée. A seemingly perfect life... but there is one temptation that may derail his best laid plans for the straight-and-narrow: he has a thing for Tommy, a charming former college classmate who is now openly gay. After a few drinks, Daniel succumbs to his repressed desires and makes a one time "mistake." Soon after their initial tryst, the normally jaded Tommy falls head over heels in love, but Daniel wants nothing more of him or his dazzlingly seductive smile -- he's back with Jen, determined to marry her. With Tommy's friends warning him against his involvement with a straight man and Daniel's pledge of heterosexually, it would seem that nothing will come of them... but love and lust have a way of messing up even the best laid plans of man.

Artist makes V12 out of bones
Good lord. This Mercedes V12 replica is a little bit insane
Posted: 09 Sep 2013
Monet's Water Lillies Picasso's Guernica. Constable's Haywain. Top Gear knows literally nothing about these things. Or any art. Look what a hash we made of the The North's Mima gallery.
But we do know about cars and engines and things that are bit insane. Like this Mercedes V12 replica by Eric van Hove, who stripped an oily Benz engine to its 465 components (not including nuts and bolts) and commissioned artists all over Morocco to replicate them.
Apparently, the goal was 'pondering the economic and social dynamic between European and African industry'. We don't really know what this means. But we do know that the finished result, which is made from materials including ebony wood, mother- of-pearl, yellow copper, cow bone, goat bone, malachite of Midelt (isn't that a character from Game of Thrones?), and rumex.
And no. It doesn't run. What d'you think it'd sound like, TopGear.commers?

WOW, where do I start? Let me just put out what I do and then go from there:
- I build web sites mostly using premade skeleton scripts so FTP a lot.
- I do some basic graphic design in terms of modifying headers, creating them, logos etc.
- I listen to music and sometimes enjoy playing around with creating it, but rarely do anything there other than listen to it.
- I do create documents/spreadsheets and modify them on occasion (For client sites).
- I also rarely (as in once in a blue moon if that), enjoy a nice graphics intensive game.
I am selling my iMac and going to move on to a PC. But this is where my 'conundrum' lies. I of course know with what I am doing with the computer - Any flavor of OS will suffice from Linux, to Mac to Windows. And with that - any software I would require to do my above tasks is found freely (Openoffice, Gimp etc).
What I have discovered about myself:
I really don't care what software environment I am in anymore in terms of what OS it is. What is important to me is what can be done in it and how easily accessible the software is to do the job. For example, with all systems, I can use Filezilla to FTP, Thunderbird for Email, Gimp for graphic manipulation/editing etc, and of course Firefox or Chrome as third party browsers not built into the system. But, what I am not sure of at this point is if I want to focus my time and energy on buying a PC that will allow me to OSX86 the heck out of it or move on into a different OS.
The Problem with Apple and Mac:
I am tired of Apple's semi-forcing us non IOS users to conform to the newer ecosystem (A.K.A. Mountain Lion), I have run it and played with it, it rocks and is awesome! So, don't think I am against it. What I am against is the direction that things are headed. As in - it sure feels like if you own an iDevice then you certainly have all items in that same world (a.k.a. iPod,iPhone,iPad), and if you don't, then you are losing out.
I know I can run Snow Leopard as my default OS and live happier without this notion, but for how much longer will it be supported?
Instead, I am sort of shaking off the 'dependence' if you will of this environment as sweet and intuitive it is and move on to something dare I say 'More Maverick"?
My Viewpoints and they are strictly mine and not anyone else's and I know that you will disagree with me at least in one area.
The Problem I have with Windows:
If I go to Windows, then I would stick straight with Windows 7 as for me, 8 isn't going to cut it with my tastes and requirements. I would probably skip 8 and go to 9 or whatever they call it, unless they make some changes in 8 that catch my attention. So, with that - I say if you are going to use 8, g ahead and love Windows 8, embrace it and do what you wan't with it. Win 7 is enough for me for the time being, I won't knock anyone for using 8.
Yet - I don't really know what is going to happen with Microsoft and the direction they are leading - to me it seems that Windows 8 is the start of what Apple is doing as well by putting people into the 'mobile realm' by introducing those interfaces. (Tiles the same as on the Windows based phones), not that there is anything wrong with it, but I am almost not wanting to be categorized into those areas.
The Problems with Linux:
With Linux, I know that I can completely pick and chose from literally thousands of flavors of it to find something that would fit me. But, sadly, some of the software included in Linux just isn't appealing to me GUI wise with some of the systems. And Yes, I know about Compiz.
As far as desktop managers, I am not a big fan of Gnome's direction they are taking and haven't really cared too much for KDE or Litestep. I know there are many more managers, but you have to agree that those are some of the big players so anything else isn't exactly found easily.
I absolutely LOVE Linux as a server and use it for my web hosting and insist on it.
I have made Linux my main Desktop OS several times in the past (Before I got my Mac in 2007), but never could commit to a long term solution.
Why am I leaving iMac?
The reason is silly I suppose, but to me it is serious business and my main reason - repair costs, troubles and expense later on.
Let me explain - since owning this machine which by the way is a replacement under Apple Care for a previous machine that failed so miserably they sent me a brand new upgraded system, I have already (Under Apple Care), I have had to replace the superdrive because of mechanical issues with it. Sure, that is a minor part you would say; but that so far (knock on wood), has been the only thing to fail with this system. So, maybe it is not so bad.
I have been toying with the idea a lot lately of investing in a SSD for the iMac and using the HDD inside externally and load my files off that - OS on the SSD and move from there.
This is where some of the costs and expense can come in. To do this on my particular model system, I have to pull the LCD up (after removing the display glass, removing a lot of Torx screws), carefully disconnect the several cables attached and then set the screen aside. Remove the HDD which after this is quite simple, install the SSD (Simple again), button the drive down with the screws, then attach the display (pretty involved from what I understand) to it's cables, re screw the torx screws in, and place the glass back on, go in, enable Trim support, download a fan controller for the HDD as now the Mac doesn't read the temps properly of the SSD as it is calibrated for a HDD, then move on. As a weekend project, this might be fun to do in an afternoon. But, for me - not my cup of tea really.
What all this boils down to is hardware Mac wise.
So why don't you go with OSX86 then?
I have played with that idea so much and believe me, have really entertained the idea, but in all honesty, can't really be sure I want to do this with the whole Ecosystem thing that I mentioned earlier.
So then, you do know you can install Windows, Linux or OSX on your Mac right?
But of course! I have known this for a long time - but see the point about hardware.
So, now I am just wanting to know your opinion on what you would do first of all hardware wise and then software wise. Both tie together since you have to have hardware which can support the software.
Right now, I am open to any OS, and any system architecture but am needing some suggestions as I have been driving myself mad trying to figure it out.
tl;dr - I am selling my Mac, I want your opinion on what I should do next OS wise.

My Dream Moves Towards Reality: The Naperville Scooter Store
I wrote a post a few weeks back titled Chasing your Dreams: The Naperville Scooter Store.
The post was written hoping to inspire others to dream big and pursue those dreams. I also wanted to share my own vision for a scooter store in my beautiful hometown of Naperville, Illinois. The time is right and Naperville is a perfect place for a scooter dealership.
In the last several weeks, I have charged ahead. Life is more fun when you have passion, and I have had a hard time containing my excitement. I am happy to say I am progressing faster than I had hoped...
My dream is becoming a reality.
I have been looking at several locations for my business, and am closing in on what I want, what I need, and realistically, what I can afford.
I hope to have my dealership open within 6 months. This may be optimistic, but it is certainly attainable.
I am currently looking at spaces, and will catch you up briefly on my search:
This was the first location I looked at. It is an eyesore in the center of Downtown Naperville. A perfect location, however the building would most likely need knocked down. I liked it for it's location, as well as my vision of beautifing the downtown. This location has been ruled out for several reasons, most importantly the price of purchase (currently asking $950,000 as a short sale), as well as the cost of improvements...
This was the next location that caught my eye. A great location on Naperville's northwestern edge, it has easy access to highways and is very visible, the building was most recently a restaurant. I have put this location on the back burner (pun?) because of it's size, and the fact that it isn't yet on the market either for rent or purchase.
When I found this location, I was blown away. The building is beautiful, with windows floor to ceiling. It's interior is open and clean. It is ready to go right now, and has great parking. It was perfect for my vision. However, the space is 6800 square feet (although divisible), and they want $23.50 per square foot. It is bigger than I need, so I would need to negotiate for part of the space. Finally, after sitting empty for two years, the space has recently come under contract for rent. Perhaps I will revisit this space for my next location, when sales dictate expansion...
I stopped by this space today. Much smaller than the previous two locations, this spot is located on Jefferson and Washington in Naperville's Downtown. It is another perfect location. The spot has many advantages. Other than it's downtown location, North Central College is just steps away, and the smaller space would certainly be easier on my budget. There is even a free parking lot adjacent to the building. My own parking lot would be wonderful, but why pay for it if you don't have to?
I have a call in to the leasing agent inquiring about the availabilty, expenses, and size of final property. I hope to get in for a look in the next few days. My biggest concern is whether or not the space is big enough for me or my distributors to consider...
Again, I am open to a variety of locations, but the research I have done so has taught me a lot. I will continue my research on properties, and am confident the perfect spot is out there...
http://genuinescooters.com/images/sc...lack_buddy.jpg http://www.bintelli.com/cache/widget...4488ec8ba6.jpg
What would Naperville Scooter be without scooters to sell?
I have been in touch with several different scooter distributers, and as of now, my two leading candidates for suppliers are Genuine Scooter and Bintelli Scooter.
Genuine is based out of Chicago, which is certainly a plus. Their product is great, and depending on model, offer either a one or two year warranty. They are currently looking to expand, however they do have two dealerships in the area, Arlington Motorsports (30 miles north) and, Scooter Works Chicago (35 miles east). I don't want to step on anyone's toes, although I have no fear of competition.
Bintelli Scooter is even more interesting to me. They offer 6 different models, and their scooters have a two year warranty. They reached out to me, and I appreciate that. I have started promoting them and their bikes on various social media networks, and am evaluating the feedback I receive. Almost everything I hear or read has been positive. As a newer company, they may be more open to supplying a new dealer, such as Naperville Scooter, then many of the bigger brands. Their business philosophy is similar to mine, with a customer first attitude. Finally, they have no dealerships in Illinois, and I hope to be the first.
I also am moving ahead on other issues as well.
I plan on buying or renting a truck and offer free delivery. I would advertise Naperville Scooter on one side, and Ken Tracy Real Estate on the other...
I would like to offer free helmets or top cases with every purchase. Again, another spot to place my marketing...
I am developing a website, and have created pages on both Facebook and Twitter.
I have looked into a dealership license, which will cost about $1000 and requires two days of classtime.
With over 15 years in the financial services industry, I certainly have been crunching numbers. I would like a full years of expenses up front, and understand my distributor would have certain expectations as well.
I am aware of the many challenges I face. I have run a small business for the last 8 years (I am a Naperville Realtor), so I know it is not easy. Great things rarely are.
My biggest hurdle is probably putting together the necessary start up money. A challenge, perhaps, but what would life be without challenges?
A bad economy? Cold winters in Illinois? Insurance? I look at those as speed bumps, not serious obstacles...
Who knows? If we have a real bad winter, we can always sell snowmobiles...

Smaller space
Kenny, I applaud you on your moxie, and wish you well.
Just a quick note regarding the smaller spot. A few dealerships here in sunny So-Cal feature small, if not tiny but well appointed showrooms, with off-site (read cheaper...) warehousing and/or service.
Just throwing it out there, you sound like you know what your doing but as a start-up looking at the winter season ahead, less may be more location-wise.
And of course as a realtor you already know location, location, location.
Point being, does the entirety of the operation need to be under one roof? At least initially?
Good luck chasing your dream!
Good luck in your ventures.
Exciting! I'll be following both here and on facebook.
Genuine sells great scooters and they are very well-established - hell, for many years before operating Genuine, they were Scooterworks, the country's biggest vintage Vespa parts seller.
If you move up to small bikes, check these guys out. I've talked to a distributor at the IMS and he was pretty pumped up about them. They use Lifan engines which can be installed in smaller Hondas.
That's awesome!
Good luck!
Best wishes to you, Kenny. It is the American dream to do what you are doing. One word of advice from someone that has worked with automobile dealerships his entire adult life: keep your overhead as low as you possibly can. That is the number one secret to success. I like your last location the best, keep it small at the beginning, you can always expand.
Hi Soboy,Nathan, Vtwin, Seraph, Greyhound, Gunrunner, Gordy and Redhand. Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement and advice!
Good idea on the two locations, one retail, one warehouse. My guess is I wouldn't need too much space dedicated to storing bikes. I assume delivery from distributors can be a quick process. Have 10-20 bikes on hand? Maybe one or two of each model out front, the rest stored safely in back? Just some thoughts...
As far as space goes, after speaking with agent on last property, they are asking (I assume negotiable) for $5600/month for that 1900 sqf space. Seems obnoxiously high to me. I would need to sell 10 bikes/month just to cover rent...
I have a call into another location. Not right downtown. Not even that pretty. However, it is 2463 sqf, and is located next to a few different automobile (not dealership, but fix up, supplies, mechanic type) stores. Perhaps some synergies? Perhaps much cheaper. I will post pictures and details as they come in...
Overhead is certainly key for any small business.
Thanks again guys!
Keep looking, that is too much money for that space. Location is very important but so is overhead. And the difference between having vehicles that are in high demand that can make you a fair profit and having an oversupply that you need to sell at cost or a loss is just one unit. The European OEMs have understood this for decades. Have just a bit less inventory than meets the demand and you can make much more profit per unit. Also, make customer service your number one priority and you will end up being more profitable. Best of luck and keep us posted!
Good luck finding a space! That downtown location does sound awfully expensive, and synergy or no being a little (just a little) out of the way isn't too bad of a problem. From my experience as a customer, most shops are not in high-traffic downtown areas. The two I can think of that were are either out of business or relocated to cheaper locales...
I do want to say what, in my experience, separates a good scooter shop from a bad one. Location, mechanic quality, selection of bikes and accessories - of course all of these matter. But before that you have to come at it with the right mentality, and I think you are - you have to start as a scooterist. Scooter sellers fall into 3 major categories, as I see it: 1) motorcycle shops looking to fill out their product selection; 2) opportunists selling cheap scooters during gas price peaks; and 3) scooter shops run by people who just like scooters.
The first two may succeed, somewhat, but they isolate their customer base. Motorcycle shops treat scooter buyers as second-rate customers - if you're on commission, are you going to pay attention to the $3,000 scooter buyer or the $15,000 Ducati buyer? #2 types tend to be all volume, no support, and garner no sense of community to build a solid customer base with. The last, #3 shops, are the best. Their love of scooters is infectious and makes the sales pitch, customer service, and after-sales experience all the better. Communities will support them - I know a lot of scooterists that travel to suburban dealerships rather than go to shops in-town because they get better service. Some don't bring enough business savvy to their love of scooters and go out of business too quickly.
It sounds to me like you'll be in category #3. Even if I don't have a ton of confidence in your choice of brand you at least are coming at this from the standpoint of a scooter rider - albeit one that apparently knows how to actually run a business. I wish you the best.
^^ what Seraph said.
Phil McCaleb of Genuine Scooter, a perfect example. An infectuous personal passion fuels building of a whole market.
Still, a hard dollar; lotta years of a lotta work. And probably worth every minute.
Best of luck.
I never said so, but I never liked your first building choice. Way too big, and in terrible condition. IMO, a smaller building is the way to go, and while you can store crated scooters somewhere else, your building will need a shop capable of repairing/servicing everything you sell. Here is a local scooter shop that works. http://www.scooterinvasion.com/ Been around over 10 years, so it survived the worst of the recession. It is where I bought my Genuine Stella. Unfortunately I see they are back to selling Chinese scooters, which caused them some trouble a while back. And unfortunately, Phoenix, AZ does not have the beautiful location you do there, it is one of the ugliest, and hottest cities in the country.
Not sure about giving away helmets, top boxes, etc. That will cost you money, and you will have to account for the cost, and they are not something everyone will want. I would keep the cost of the basic scooter as low as possible, and then offer accessories. The most important factor in the purchase of every vehicle I have ever bought has been, "how low can I get it out the door for"? I may then turn around and spend a fortune on accessories for it, but I initially want to get it as cheaply as possible, then take some time to decide what exactly I want to do with it. And if the dealer tries to pressure me into buying stuff "right then and there", then I will usually get it elsewhere. It is a lot easier to have stuff available and let people talk themselves into buying it that trying to pressure them into it.
I grew up in the scooter business and over 50 years have seen the popularity of scooters come and go. Will scooters be popular a year from now, 5 years from now? I'd like to think that scooter sales will continue to rise along with gas prices but my experience tells me otherwise.

Nowadays in the annals of academia and in the wards of professional schools, there is a commotion about the concept of lifelong learning and adult education in designing program curricula and in defining degree requirements. The former is generally defined as the process of acquiring knowledge or skills throughout life via education, training, work and general life experiences. The latter is generally defined as the art and science of teaching adult learners, also known as andragogy.
Much of what the fire service relies on in terms of knowledge derives from experience, not empirical research conducted by trained scientists in academic settings. We often hear fire service personnel saying in response to a complex problem, "This is how we do it around here." Lately, however, the fire service has evolved from an occupation into a profession; a discipline that demands more complexity in the skills, ability and knowledge acquired in academic and formal training settings.
We all know of someone who has taken fire science courses at a two-year college; taken courses at state and local fire training academies and through the National Fire Academy (NFA); and achieved various levels of certification. However, these combined achievements have not evolved in a coherent and planned path. The professional development inherent in these combined achievements is usually uncoordinated and fragmented, resulting in duplications of effort and inefficiencies for students. Although the fire service offers numerous certifications, education and training entities, not all of them collaborate with one another. Most fire service agencies adhere to the same standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), but their application of the standards varies, as funding and local politics vary.

I am new to scripting I needed a script in the AIX environment to get the next days date based on the date entered by the user of the script.
After hard time browsing for this I got a piece of code which does the reverse of the goal which i had to achieve. It gets me one day before(Yesterday's) the date entered by the user.
The code is as below
echo "Enter the date (YYYY/MM/DD):"
read date
YEAR=`echo $date | cut -d"/" -f1`
MONTH=`echo $date | cut -d"/" -f2`
DAY=`echo $date | cut -d"/" -f3`
DAY=`expr "$DAY" - 1`
case "$DAY" in
MONTH=`expr "$MONTH" - 1`
case "$MONTH" in
YEAR=`expr "$YEAR" - 1`
DAY=`cal $MONTH $YEAR | grep . | fmt -1 | tail -1`
echo "Yesterday's Date is $YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY"
Can some one please help to me acheive this. That is to get the next day of the user entered date.
Desired Output:
Enter the date (YYYY/MM/DD): 2013/09/30
Tomorrow's Date is 2013/10/1

Search for Your Ancestors in Newspapers 1690–Today!
Start Your Genealogy Search Now.
Enter Your Ancestor's Name to Search 1 Billion Records Online:
Genealogy Records You Can Find in Newspapers
Name Search Tips
Broad Name Search
Begin by searching the website for your family records using broad queries. Remember, less is often times more. If your ancestor has an unusual first or last name, try searching the genealogy archives for one name at a time. Then refine your family search by adding additional information such as date range, occupation and location.
Note that using both first and last name search fields will return genealogy records in which the surname is automatically "near2" the first name.
- "Near2" means our genealogy search engine automatically finds occurrences of the first and last names within two words of each other.
- This helpful default search functionality automatically finds occurrences of middle names, initials and maiden names in the genealogy records, without you having to enter them in your query.
- The "near2" search command is not order specific. This means your query will retrieve the ancestor's name no matter what order it is entered: the first name then last name, or the last name then first name.
This search default brings you the most record matches containing the family member name you are searching for in our online archives.
Common Ancestor Names
If your ancestor's surname is popular, like Smith, try using some of the available search options (such as location, date range, and keyword), in order to narrow your family search to the specific Smith you are looking for (see below).
If your family member has a surname that is also a common word (like Brown, Snow, etc.), put quotation marks around the entire name.
"John Snow"
Wrapping the family member's name in quotations will keep the name together and give you more accurate record results while helping to avoid common nouns such as "snow." Please note however that searching with quotations will eliminate records that include a middle name or initial, the name as seen in a list (e.g., Snow, John) or the name in a phrase (e.g., John and Sally Snow).
Also, try querying the genealogy archives using various name combination queries.
"John Snow"
"Snow, John"
"John Joseph Snow"
"John J Snow"
"J J Snow"
"John and Mary Snow"
Shortened & Abbreviated Names
Newspapers would often shorten a name. Try searching for the shorter or abbreviated version of your ancestor's name.
Wm for William
Chas for Charles
Jas for James
Jos for Joseph
Saml for Samuel
Fredr for Fredrick
Benj for Benjamin
Search Names with Initials & Quotations
Also try searching for your relative's names with their initials in quotation marks.
"A J Johnson" for Albert James Johnson
"B Fredrickson" for Benjamin Fredrickson
Also try searching nicknames: Bob, Bobbie, Rob, and Robbie would all apply for the name Robert.
Married Names
Try searching for a female family member under her married name if applicable.
"Mrs John Snow"
Name Misspellings
Keep in mind that early newspapers made mistakes and the name of your family member may have been misspelled. Also keep in mind that the spelling of a name may have changed over time. Try searching for your relative in the online archives using various name spellings.
If a single letter is commonly written incorrectly, use a question mark in its place in your query to search multiple matching records. The question mark is a search engine Boolean operator that will match any alphanumeric character.
When searching for the surname Larson, try Lars?n. This search query will return matching records for Larson and Larsen.
If several letters in the ancestor's name are often incorrect, the same query can be performed using an asterisk. The asterisk search engine Boolean operator will match up to 5 characters in a word.
Fred* will find records containing Frederick, Fredrick, Freddie, etc.
Keywords Search Tips
There are two keyword search boxes to narrow your search for genealogy records: the "Include Keywords" box and the "Exclude Keywords" box (see below). By using the "Include Keywords" box and/or the "Exclude Keywords" box, you can narrow or expand your genealogy record search results.
Include Keywords
Put phrases in quotes like "John Adams" in the "Include Keywords" box to limit the ancestor record search to that exact name—versus using the last/first name search that brings back records matching John near2 Adams.
Exclude Keywords
If you find too many names are returned in the search results, narrow your ancestor search even more by typing names or places you do NOT want in your results in the "Exclude Keywords" box.
For example, if you are getting matching records about a reverend but the family member you are looking for was never a reverend, go to the "Exclude Keywords" box and enter: Reverend OR Church OR Rev. Adding this info in the "Exclude Keywords" box will eliminate those irrelevant records.
Also, remember to capitalize both the O and the R when using the Boolean operator "OR." This tells the genealogy search engine to exclude the words or phrases you entered.
Date Search Tips
Use the "Date Search" box to enter a specific date—or enter the date range if you know the approximate date(s) of the historical content you are seeking to find in the online archives.
If you use the date range option, then enter a date range that includes the entire life span of your family member. For example, including a few years prior to their birth and a few years after their death can yield positive search results. Or if you are looking for an obituary record, use a date range of a few years before and after the known death date. Our genealogy search engine accepts a variety of date formats to help you easily find your family's history.

CRNA Degree Program
Jefferson's fully-accredited Nurse Anesthesia program prepares nurses to provide anesthesia care during surgical and obstetrical procedures, and to provide pain relief in hospitals of all sizes.
Students in this 30-month, eight-semester program take 74 credits within three cores of study: 1) nursing that includes a research component, 2) anesthesia and 3) clinical. Its full-time curriculum integrates didactic coursework with over 1,000 hours of clinical rotations, ensuring that students will administer more than 550 anesthetics to patients undergoing a wide variety of surgical and/or diagnostic procedures.
Students may be able to transfer in eligible coursework. Students with transfer credits and/or who have completed master's core courses complete the program on the same schedule as those starting with no credits. Tuition is charged and financial assistance is awarded based on the actual number of credits a student takes each semester.
About CRNAs Nurse anesthesia is an advanced clinical nursing specialty. As anesthesia specialists, CRNAs administer approximately 30 million anesthetics to patients in the United States each year. They are the sole anesthesia providers in more than two-thirds of rural hospitals.
CRNAs are in demand and therefore have many opportunities for general or specialty practice throughout the U.S.
Reflecting that level of responsibility, CRNAs are one of the best paid nursing specialties. The reported average annual salary in 2005 was approximately $160,000.
