31 year old woman | Vienna, VA, USA | Seeking men 28-43 within 50 miles
Looking for a nice guy
I'm a hopeless romantic. Looking for someone kind, caring, smart, and funny. Chivalry isn't dead. My friends and family are very important to me and I try to spend as much time with them as possible. Over the years I've had some health problems and my true friends stayed by me and that is the kind if guy I'm looking for. Relationships aren't always smooth but someone who is willing to stick it out and not just quit when things get tough. I love football (Go Panthers!) and baseball (Let's Go O's!) and try to go to as many games as I can although this year I have sadly been slacking with the baseball games. I need someone to join me! ;) My best friend is trying to get me in to hockey (Caps) and I've found it's a lot of fun to go and I get really excited when there's a fight :D I love to laugh and have a sarcastic/dry sense of humor. One of my favorite feelings is a long laugh with great friends. My beagle Rory is my little love bug and like a child to me (don't worry, I don't dress her up!). So you have to at least like dogs! I have a BA in Criminal Justice and I'm working on a MS in Forensic Science. I absolutely love it. Its a slow process since I also work in forensics full time but its my passion so I'm perfectly happy. When the weather is nice I like taking Rory out to the W&OD trail. I love to cook, especially for others so you gotta be willing to be my taste tester! I've travelled all over but the last place I visited I fell in love with. I studied abroad in Ireland for 2 weeks and didn't want to leave! I grew up moving around so I definitely have the travel bug! I'd love to meet someone who also enjoys traveling, even if its just to other states for a few days. I'm sorely lacking in my US travels. Update: I'm not looking for a one night stand, booty call, hook up, to exchange naked pictures, etc. That seems to be all I've come across and it's getting annoying, and a little weird. So if that's what you're about more power to ya but keep on a moving. I also have several tattoos. It's been a deal breaker so I just wanna be up front.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Hockey, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a beagle named Rory
Vienna Inn - best wings and chili dogs! Irish pubs and dive bars
The University of North Carolina Wilmington, Wilmington, NC
Hanging out with friends and family, walking my dog, baseball and football games, reading, movies...TRAVEL!
I'm usually reading multiple things at once...I just finished The Great Gatsby. Anything James Patterson, World Without End...I'll read just about anything.

I am definitely holding one. The people of Japan need to see that we care. Sending $10 to help with disaster relief is good, but taking the time to publicly show respect for the people of Japan is important.

Good question hgijane. The vigil's will be time for communities to get together to acknowledge and reflect on the tragedies of the earthquake, tsunami and on going nuclear disaster that have beset Japan. We hope that by holding nationwide vigils, we can signal our solidarity with the people of Japan and give them courage in this time of crisis. We also hope that by reflecting on and acknowledging the crisis we can help the world imagine a nuclear free future.
I believe that the vigils are a half hour to an hour long. That allows for the key elements of talking with each other, a moment of silence, perhaps a speech, and talking with one another.
Let me know if you want to organizer a vigil in your community and I can help!

On Sunday May 1 the TVOKids team joined long time partner Kids Help Phone for the 2011 Walk for Kids Help Phone. The 5k walk took place at Coronation Park in Toronto and coincided with walks in more than 40 participating communities across Canada. Again this year, TVOKids host Mark Sykes got the crowd warmed up and ready for the walk. He also led the participants as they walked along Lakeshore Boulevard in Toronto.
TVOKids first joined forces with Kids Help Phone back in 2005 to launch the TVOKids Hotline- a live phone-in program for children aged 6 to 11. The Hotline connects kids with a Kids Help Phone counselor, empowering them to talk in a safe environment about tough issues they may be experiencing – from bullying to racism, body image, mental and physical health - and giving them effective coping strategies to deal with real life situations. TVOKids and Kids Help Phone have a shared vision for creating the type of society that we all want to live in, one that nurtures and supports young minds. That's why we were proud to once again participate in this worthwhile event.

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Book, video and gear reviews
GFF book review
Extreme Flyfishing
Author: R.L "Bob" Nunley
Reviewed by Martin Joergensen Want a great and affordable gift for a flyfisherman - or a little treat for yourself?
Here is good suggestion: a fun little book, written by a man with stories to tell and a big heart for humour, fishing and rod building.
And the book is only 10 US dollars!
Nunley has written and published about 25 short stories in this small volume, all with a couple of common denominators: flyfishing and humour. Through its about 100 pages, the author manages to entertain you very well, and at 40 cents a story, who can complain if one or two do not fully meet the high average of the rest?
Starting off with the story about how the authors's tongue got stuck to the ferrule on his split cane rod during a very cold day's fishing, sets the pace and tone. Each story is quickly read, and the size of the book and length of the stories makes it perfect good night reading for those of us, who cannot swallow dozens of pages on the edge of sleep.
The question in the introduction about how one man can experience all these hilarities seems well placed, but as Nunley points out: if you go fishing enough, things will happen - and a lot of them funny things.
The book seems very home made, but of a nice quality and layout. The front cover could have been tightened a bit, but again I must remind you that this is a ten dollar book! At this price even typos and other small errors are easily forgiven.
If you like small stories about flyfishing, this is a book for you. The book is probably not available in book stores or tackle shops, so you will have to drop by Nunley's web page and order online.

The Color Master: Storiesby Aimee Bender
Staff Pick
With this new collection, Aimee Bender reminds us why she is a master of the odd and surprising. I'd recommend The Color Master to anyone looking for a book that will thrill and linger and maybe wig you out a little. Her growing canon of stories is like an army that destroys boring writing.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The bestselling author of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake returns with a wondrous collection of dreamy, strange, and magical stories.
Truly beloved by readers and critics alike, Aimee Bender has become known as something of an enchantress whose lush prose is "moving, fanciful, and gorgeously strange" (People), "richly imagined and bittersweet" (Vanity Fair), and "full of provocative ideas" (The Boston Globe). In her deft hands, "relationships and mundane activities take on mythic qualities" (The Wall Street Journal).
In this collection, Bender's unique talents sparkle brilliantly in stories about people searching for connection through love, sex, and family — while navigating the often painful realities of their lives. A traumatic event unfolds when a girl with flowing hair of golden wheat appears in an apple orchard, where a group of people await her. A woman plays out a prostitution fantasy with her husband and finds she cannot go back to her old sex life. An ugly woman marries an ogre and struggles to decide if she should stay with him after he mistakenly eats their children. Two sisters travel deep into Malaysia, where one learns the art of mending tigers who have been ripped to shreds.
In these deeply resonant stories — evocative, funny, beautiful, and sad — we see ourselves reflected as if in a funhouse mirror. Aimee Bender has once again proven herself to be among the most imaginative, exciting, and intelligent writers of our time.
"Bender became a bestselling novelist with The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, but her new collection returns readers to her real forte: short stories that combine gnomic postmodern prose with whimsical fairy tale reveries. And yet whimsy is an odd word to apply to the wife of 'The Red Ribbon,' who insists her husband pay her top dollar for every coupling, or 'The Fake Nazi,' about a secretary who becomes obsessed with the life story of a guilt-ridden old man who turns himself in for war crimes he claims to have committed. Even the tales that resemble children's storybooks, like the title story (a clever subversion of Charles Perrault's 'Donkeyskin') and 'The Devourings,' are haunted by a taut, sardonic melancholy. Dressmakers labor to perfect the color of moon, a talented seamstress mends the tears in tigers' fur, ravenous ogres vomit the bones of their victims — 'an insistent movement from feet up to mouth' results in body parts that 'lay there in the grass, glazed in a layer of spit and acid' — and a piece of cake stuck in a tree becomes talisman to Bender's brand of sweet dripping darkness. But the best stories are mood pieces about the mysteries of female friendship ('Bad Return') and bittersweet pageants populated by mall-worshipping adolescents ('Lemonade'), still fanciful but so light on gimmick that the reader senses — like the lovelorn atheist in 'The Doctor and the Rabbi' — 'the realization that there were many ways to live a life.' Many ways to write a life too, and Bender colors them with a tincture out of dreams. The world is everywhere present in this collection, but it gets the moon in, too. Agent: Henry Dunow, Dunow, Carlson & Lerner." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"All these stories made my mouth water." Alan Cheuse, NPR
"Stories that range from fairy tales to quasi-erotica, all showing Bender's versatility....Bender's gifts as an author are prodigious, and with each story, she moves the reader in surprising, not to say startling, ways." Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Aimee Bender is the author of the novels The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake — a New York Times bestseller — and An Invisible Sign of My Own, and of the collections The Girl in the Flammable Skirt and Willful Creatures. Her works have been widely anthologized and have been translated into sixteen languages. She lives in Los Angeles.

here is my website, thanks for your reviews, i welcome negative and
positive criticism! http://www.forexjustice.com
hah Forex, that's the brand name of a Foamboard I use when making signs :)
Your design is solid! I cant say I really like the google adwords at the top of the page though.
A few things I'm thinking though – when I look at it, its quite baffling about whats going on. Maybe a more info friendly homepage would be good, with quick links to some of the awesome ratings features of your site. At the moment I kinda get smacked in the face with a wall of text and that makes me want to leave.
Your menu also has a 10px ish sized gap between the header image and itself – I would either add 10px underneath or remove it all together as it looks likes its kinda slipped or not rendered right :)

The RN-9090 is a hardware sequencer originally developed with the Arduino prototyping platform. It is a 192 button 12×16 button grid with 11 assignable rows at 16 steps each. The RN-9090 was originally created to be a sequencer for DIY drum modules. However, it can also interface with virtual studio software like Ableton and any hardware device that accepts MIDI messages.
The RN-9090 features a "pages" system with two unique 11×16 pages. Each page can be independent or the pages can be linked together for a 32 step sequence. Independent pages can be "swapped" at the press of the button. Swapping pages will make the alternate page the active page for playing music, leaving the other page free to manipulate without the pressure of correctly laying out a pattern without interrupting the sequencer steps. The RN-9090 will always show the currently playing page whenever a "swap" occurs.
Other features of the RN-9090 are included below:
Sequencer Operational Features
- Internal Tempo controlled with a dedicated knob and is calculated on an assumed 4/4 beat and determined by the selected grid resolution. External tempo will automatically override the internal timing whenever there is incoming MIDI clock data to the MIDI IN port.
- Adjustable grid resolution of 4, 8, 16, or 32 steps per measure. The RN-9090 assumes a 4/4 beat as a baseline and will always adjust the speed and MIDI Clock ticks to maintain the correct BPM for any given grid resolution.
- Swing can be applied to any given row as determined by the row of the last button press. The swing delay is controlled with a potentiometer and each row can have a specific swing setting (Swing 4, Swing 8, Swing 16, Swing 32)
- Internal storage for 100 patterns.
- Internal storage for 12 songs. A song is comprised of a maximum 16 stored patterns and the associated length of times to repeat each part.
- Secondary (accent) notes can be selected by holding down any button. Accent notes will flash intermittently to indicate the secondary assignment status.
MIDI Settings & Features
- Customize the MIDI note setting for each row. Both primary and secondary note assignments can be changed to provide a maximum of 22 unique and accessible notes.
- Dedicated knobs for controlling the velocities in real time. Velocity settings can be globally applied for the primary and secondary notes or can be note specific.
- Save and store 12 different MIDI settings including MIDI IN Channel, MIDI OUT Channel, and all MIDI note assignments.
- Separated MIDI Clock and MIDI Message Out ports provide the best possible timing when synchronizing external devices.

There was a lot of good discussion on the Parlor Set in the last post that, by family history, had been designed by or is in some way associated with Stanford White. Cheryl (AKA misslillybart) found a photo that seems to be a dead ringer for this set pattern in the Dickerson House photos, which was designed by McKim, Mead and Bigelow – who, very curiously (to me), were predecessors to McKim, Mead and White – as in Stanford White. This new incarnation of the firm started in September 1879 when White arrived – after the house was finished.
Samuel White, who has written several books on Stanford White and is Stanford's great-grandson has seen the photos and believes it doesn't reflect the work of Stanford. Nina Gray, a curator of Victorian design (and Tiffany book author) does not believe it to be designed by White. Paul Tucker has also studied Stanford White's work extensively and is also in concurrence that it was not designed by White.
Thanks go to Paul for having the associations with the aforementioned experts and relayed their thoughts onto us. I'm always amazed at the contacts and knowledge of the Rare Victorian community. I often think that if any one person or group can solve a Victorian antique furniture mystery, the Rare Victorian community can. I'm grateful for the flow of opinion and fastidious research that comes my way from everyone.
So How Did White's Name Get Attached?
Dickerson died in 1889 and his son occupied the residence until 1910 after which he left for France. My question is: were the household furnishings sold off at that time while the building was being converted to stores, offices and apartments? Could this be the same exact set that furnished the house and then purchased by this family in 1911 when they got married?
I wouldn't normally jump to the conclusion that it would be the same exact parlor set, but the year of the conversion of the building to shops and stores coincides with the timing of their marriage (close – 1910 vs. 1911). The parlor set was made around 1882 (thanks, MLB), so this set was floating around for almost 30 years. It's not like this set was being mass-produced in 1911.
However, while it is a nice set, I don't necessarily think it is a one-of-a-kind set. It could have been produced in a larger volume than one. The timing of the house's demise and the wedding is just such a coincidence. The set was probably purchased in N.Y. From Ginny:
My guess would be New York. My grandfather was born in NY in 1884. He was a member of the Seventh Regiment of the National Guards in Ny and shortly after their marriage in 1911, they moved to Richmond. My grandmother was from Yonkers so most likely the set was purchased in Ny and according to the letter my grandmother wrote in the 60's to my Dad, there was 2 settees, 3 arm chairs and a ladies chair and they were done in pale green brocade. She mentioned the invoice was over $1,000.00 but that she could not find it at that time and I have not found in going through old letters etc.
Other than mentioning that the set was designed by Stanford White that is all the info I have.
If we imagine for a split-second that the set is one and the same as in the Dickerson photos (or even another McKim, Mead, and White/Bigelow house), I could see where a White association may have been attached to the set and lived with it and carried on for 100 years. This isn't a recent association to White made by an antique dealer or new owner in 1992. This was passed on by the one who bought it in 1911, so there must be some, even ever so loose tie-in to White.
If the set had been known to have come from a McKim, Mead and White house, the association with White might have stuck. White "was a skilled artist, capable of creating elegant details and brilliant arrangements of texture, color and objects based on unconventional juxtapositions", according to the Buffalo, Architecture and History site. I doubt if anyone buying wedding furniture would do the research to see if it was created during Bigelow's participation in the firm or White's. The firm was one and the same, and at the time of purchase, it was White's name on the stationary and he was the "skilled artist", so…. one might assume.
In the end, I believe it was not his design. However, there is a shot that it came out of a McKim, Mead and Bigelow/White designed building and that is where the association came from.
Herter Brothers Link
Putting the White design association aside, there are those who commented on the previous post that believe that this set could have been manufactured by Herter Brothers.
If you take the foliate design in the skirt, isolate it, and compare it to Herter Brothers patterns, you won't get a match to those documented in the "Herter book". Making that comparison and coming up short does not prove one way or the other. It just pushes one on to look elsewhere.
I also have not seen the floral patterns on the side of the chair arms on any other Herter work. Again, this doesn't prove one way or the other.
One of the bases for the attribution to Herter by one of the commenters, "beerwineandcheese" was the casters:
For me, it was the brass conical caster rings that did it. I haven't seen those on other makers. They are impossible to find.
I can't respond to that assertion, but I present it here as one of the concrete thoughts behind such an attribution. To me, attributions cannot be made on style and level of quality/craftsmanship alone. There must be concrete hallmarks present in construction or carving, or labels/brands, bills of sale, etc.

A random number generator generated random values from the Standard Uniform distribution Uniform(0,1). Call this random variable, U. Starting with a random value u from U, show all the steps necessary to generate a continuous random variable with the density function f(x) = 0.5(1+x), where -1 <= x <= 1.
I am doing this for a practice exam so an exact answer is not as important to me as the proper solution. I honestly have no clue how to go about this problem and have tried using similar psuedo code problems for Uniform(0,1) but still haven't been able to figure this one out in particular.

Hallowed Ground in Jersey CityPosted: July 2, 2014 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Cemeteries, Connors, NJ 1 Comment
I never pass a cemetery without a second look, or a third, or even pulling over to take a fourth.
So when a chance came to tour two landmark Catholic cemeteries in Jersey City, I put on my sturdiest, ugliest walking shoes and met up on a lovely June Saturday morning with other members of the Hudson County Genealogical and Historical Society. On the agenda: an in-depth look at St. Peter's Cemetery, on Tonnelle Avenue, and sprawling, gorgeous Holy Name on West Side Avenue, final home to many prominent (and in some cases infamous) figures from Jersey City's past.
We carpooled to St. Peter's, a good thing because St. Peter's has to be one of the trickiest cemeteries to access anywhere. This might sound cheeky to those who must hack their way to ancestors in overgrown rural burying grounds, but there are other hazards in life besides brambles, and Tonnelle Avenue (a k a U.S. Highways 1 and 9) is one of them.
Throwback Thursday: Shoes EditionPosted: May 29, 2014 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Children, NJ, Rants and riffs Leave a comment
Those are my feet on the left, in the beat-up loafers. I was very hard on shoes, my mother said. That was also the opinion of Manny, the guy who measured us at Martin's Shoe Store in Plainfield, N.J. He and my mother would mourn the state of my current shoe, and shake their heads, and sigh.
"She's really hard on shoes, isn't she?" Manny would say.
"Let's hope this pair lasts," my mother would say.
In my defense, I would like to draw your attention to that ripped sole of the Keds sneakers on the right, which belonged to one of my younger sisters, proof that I was not the only kid who was hard on her shoes.
The shoes in the center belong to a littler kid who went easier on them, because he didn't play as hard as we did. However, being a little kid, he was about to commit the equally heinous sin of Growing Like You Wouldn't Believe, necessitating a pair of new shoes in an equally indecent amount of time.
Shoe shopping was a definite event back then, partly because shoe stores were fuller-service destinations, as opposed to today, when the only stores that make a big deal of fussing over you are the ones catering to marathoners or people with really bad bunions.
But the other reason was that when seven kids all needed shoes at the same time, it meant major shopping expeditions. These took place in August, when we bought school shoes, and late spring, when we bought summer play shoes. Easter shoes were also important, but because we wore dress shoes so infrequently, we handed them down a lot. This might cause responsible parents to clutch their throats in horror today, but my mother would have thought it irresponsible to waste a set of patent-leather Mary Janes that had only been to Mass once or twice. So every Easter, we'd root around the closets and line everyone up to see which dress shoes fitted whom.
Shoe shopping was always a mixed experience for me. I loved the look, smell and feel of new shoes, but I hated being called to account for the damage I wreaked on them. "You really banged these up, kid," Manny would say, as Mom nodded in sad agreement.
How did I do it? I was never sure. As far as I knew I was just running and walking in them, not using them to pound fence posts. Every year, I would vow that my shoes would stay smooth and whole until they no longer fit. But every year, I wore out my shoes before I outgrew them. The pleasure of new shoes was always shadowed by my awareness of their fleeting glory.
I never did turn into a person who collects shoes. I still tend to buy a pair I really like and wear it into shreds, despite good-intentioned vows to buy that one great pair in several colors and rotate them. Maybe all that early training in shoe shopping has conditioned me to stick with the tried-and-true, and await its inevitable decline.
Or maybe I'm just really hard on shoes.
Musical Moments: EasterPosted: April 20, 2014 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Musical Memories Leave a comment
As a choral singer of long standing at my Roman Catholic parish (and believe me, the standing is looooooonggggg between Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday morning), I am always amazed at the power of music to galvanize, unite and transport. It doesn't always do the trick — what can? There are some stretches in every season where sore feet and hoarse throats seem far more prevalent than grace notes.
But there's nothing like a Big Fat Oratorio Chorus to power a person past those awkward moments. Of course we associate those with Handel, but Joseph Haydn put up some pretty respectable points on this particular board, including "Achieved Is The Glorious Work," a grandly ornate chorus from The Creation, an oratorio he composed between 1796 and 1798. I was charmed by the interpretation below, an all-woman version sung in 2011 by the Georgia Music Educators' Association (GMEA) All-State Senior Women's Chorus. It's lovely, despite the audience member who just had to cough at the 2:37 mark. (OK, I forgive you; I've been there, too.)
Wishing you a Happy Easter, and a joyous spring after a harsh winter.
Hopping Off The DNA FencePosted: April 6, 2014 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: DNA 2 Comments
A few months ago Ancestry had a sale on its autosomal DNA test kits, and I finally — finally! — got around to putting my saliva out there, so to speak. (And I get to talk gleefully about saliva, which negates a fair amount of character-building parochial-school education, thereby doubling the fun.)
Autosomal DNA tests draw from the autosomes, which are any of the numbered chromosomes, not the sex chromosomes. The results crisscross both sides of your family tree and identify that many more potential cousins, distant or otherwise.
Then I noticed that for an additional $69, I could link up my Ancestry autosomal results to Family Tree DNA, potentially increasing my reach with another pool of test results to compare against. But was it really worth it? I got as far as clicking the "Checkout" button when one of my cats came in and started yelling for breakfast, and that was enough to shelve the problem for the moment.
However, today comes a post from Judy G. Russell, also known as the Legal Genealogist, who thinks about, writes about and above all explains DNA testing in sparkling-clear terms. It is called 2014: Most Bang For Your DNA Bucks, and if you need a primer on where DNA testing value stands at the moment, click that link. Judy is frank about her own passion for DNA testing as a genealogy tool, but she is also excellent at parsing the prices and benefits.
Basically, I read the comparisons and scenarios, and the Family Tree DNA transfer made supreme sense. The speed with which I put it through made me channel the voice of my late, beloved mom: "Judy Russell! If Judy Russell told you to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you do it?" Hmmm; that's a toughie. If Judy said it would enhance my DNA results, there's no telling.
But for now, I'm going to settle for awaiting what comes of my foray into Family Tree DNA.
Today's Vocabulary Word Is …Posted: March 26, 2014 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Children, Good Reads, NY Leave a comment
… Peter Thompson.
Which is a dress as well as a guy's name, as you can see in this picture from a turn-of-the century newspaper ad. I recently encountered it in a novel I was re-reading, in which a 13-year-old girl, circa 1910, waxes philosophical about fashion:
"Clean and neat is all my mother asks, and it's all I'm willing to give. Time enough to discard my Peter Thompson and get myself up as the queen of the May when there's a king in sight."
The kid had a point, and a Peter Thompson was a good way to make it. This was an enormously popular mode of children's dress that translated either into sailor suits (for boys) or dresses (for girls). I am still trying to find a reference that will tell me who Peter Thompson was, exactly, but if you're interested in a closer look at how these dresses worked, check out these directions from a turn-of-the-century sewing book on how to make them, including steps like soaking your material in salt water to set the color.
If you're interested in fin de siecle New York City in general, you 'd also enjoy the book I was reading: The Best of Families (1970) by Ellin Mackay Berlin, who was famous to a lot of people for being Mrs. Irving Berlin, but who also was a very good writer.The Best of Families is about New Yorkers who worshipped Episcopal, sent their daughters to Spence and their sons to Groton, and never met a peccadillo they couldn't ignore, as long as the perpetrator was well-bred and discreet.
In writing it, Ellin Berlin — a millionaire's debutante daughter whose marriage to a Tin Pan Alley songwriter was a 1920s sensation — clearly drew upon her own memories of silver-spoon life. The novel is full of the wistfulness that suffuses memories of vanished, specific things: "trolley cars and the ferry to New Jersey and the wonderful, fast, rattling ride on the Elevated; Little Nemo and Buster Brown and his faithful dog, Tige … high-button shoes and white kid gloves so tight that each finger must be laboriously worked into its separate, stiff compartment, and the wooden stick on which even naturally wavy hair was harshly twisted into sausage curls."
And Peter Thompsons, too. Worth knowing about, if you find an old family letter mentioning one. Your great-great-aunt might have been talking about an old dress, not an old beau.
To my online tree viewers, once I go publicPosted: March 23, 2014 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Connors, Haigneys, Rants and riffs, Rudroffs 2 Comments
I'm one of those people who struggles with the decision to take an Ancestry tree public. I've been torn between the desire to connect and share, and the reluctance to become part of something that's bothered me forever: the perpetuation of mistaken associations (or just plain mistakes) when family tree information is cut and pasted without sufficient thought.
These trees online? They are works in progress. I know so much more about my lines than I did two decades ago, when I started researching them. (And boy, am I glad you can't see some of the early trees that were on my long-ago hard drives.) I expect, if I am lucky and keep working hard, that I will know much more five or ten years from now, and these trees will keep growing and changing.
So what am I getting at? Simply:
Go ahead, use what you can. If you credit me, that would be super (and, let's face it, decent), but you know what's more important?
Check behind me where you can. Take my online stuff as a starting point, not the family Bible (and we all know how dicey family Bibles can be). Also, keep checking back from time to time. See what's up. Drop me a line, compare some DNA, don't be shy.
Above all, if something in my online universe doesn't match something in yours …
Check. It. Out.
Don't assume I'm right … or that you're right, for that matter. Maybe neither of us is right. Or even, in some weird, only-in-real-life way, we will discover that both of us are right. In a world full of guys who do stuff like marry three successive wives named, say, Susan, it happens.
I will now climb down from the soapbox before it is kicked out from under me. Whoever you are, if you're reading this, I wish you all the joy of discovery and the fun of reconnecting with long-lost relatives. But I swear, if I catch you saying that Martin Haigney (born 1828) married somebody named Mary Carroll, BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HE DIDN'T I SPENT 15 YEARS AND BEAUCOUP BUCKS INVESTIGATING THIS, I will hunt you down and … Ahem. Sorry. Got a little upset there. Better now.
Happy hunting. Really.
Stop Snickering In The Bread Aisle, YouPosted: December 31, 2013 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: NY, old photos, weather 2 Comments
Bread and milk before the snowstorm: the ultimate panic-buying cliché. I enjoy the jokes as much as anyone. A short while ago, it looked like we here in New Jersey were going to be smacked with a Weather Event right on top of Thanksgiving. Here's me on Facebook, yukking it up:
Now I've started thinking more about that pre-storm supermarket rush. "Why is everyone so uptight about the bread and milk?" we clever people ask.
But this is also a serious question. Why is everyone so uptight? What chord is being played in our cultural memory?
Dedicated reporter that I am, I flexed my fingers and began Googling. Very quickly, sharp insights piled up, like: "Because we are stupid," and "LOL." I was, as ever, impressed by the discourse, but refused to be intimidated. Time to dig deeper, into the snowstorms of the past.
The deep, dark past.

Tanjung Balai
Tanjung Balai is the main town of the island. It's very compact and hectic. Most streets are one way streets and there are more motorcycles(motor) than cars(mobil).
This is a bustling town with a sizeable Chinese (Tionghua) community. As you can see a lot of buildings are built right into the sea via pilings.

Tory Camps / Seneca Trail - Randolph Co
The term Tory or Loyalist was used in the American Revolution to describe those who remained loyal to the British Crown. At the beginning of the war, it was estimated that as much as 40% of the American population were Tories.

Shawnee Trail
was the white settlers' name for an American Indian trail in what is now eastern West Virginia. The name Shawnee came after said group of Native Americans followed the trail our of the region after burning Fort Seybert in Pendleton County, WV. It was a segment (or branch) of the much larger Indian trail network known as the Great Indian Warpath (GIW), which stretched from New York to Georgia. The GIW was referred to from this point north as the "Seneca Trail". Thus, in pioneer days, the segment known as the Shawnee Trail was often also referred to as the Seneca Trail.

Historical Marker located on Rt 33/55 about 2 miles west of Harmon. (Side 1 - You are facing west if you are reading this) I rode around looking for the camp remains for an hour with no luck. The closest I think I got was a locked gate just off CR29.
Looking westbound on Rt 33/55 starting up Rich Mt. (A whole history lesson in itself, from what I'm beginning to understand)
From the top of Rich Mt, looking east toward Harmon. The Historical Marker would be about 2 miles ahead and to the left. The Tory Camps would have been in this valley.
Side 2 of the same marker. You are facing east if you are reading this.
View eastbound on Rt 33/55. Harmon is just ahead about 2 or 3 miles.

Corporate Social Responsibility: Regulators Push for a New Level of Cooperation
10:39 AM MDT | June 12, 2009 | ALEX SCOTT in Geneva and Helsinki
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) is urging chemical companies to become active participants in international chemical safety and sustainability programs. The aim is for industry to provide a greater level of financing and to be more proactive in handling hazardous chemicals. Governments worldwide are already participating in international programs to ensure that the sustainable use of chemicals is also on the rise, UNEP says. Developing countries, in particular, are pressing for improved management of pollution from stockpiles of old chemicals...

Storm Surge Flood Hazards of Hurricane Katrina 2005
Abstract. Flooding due to hurricane storm surge is one of the most damaging natural disasters in tropical and sub-tropical coastal regions. Storm surge peril can cause catastrophic loss to coastal properties and loss of life. Estimated hurricane flood risk is often statistically-based and relies on historical data. It provides catastrophic loss and risk information for the event as a whole, but lacks geographical detail. The purpose of this study is to analyze hurricane-induced storm surge flood damage using a grid-based numerical model. Storm surge flood damage due to Hurricane Katrina 2005 is presented as a case study. In order to analyze the resulting hazard from Hurricane Katrina, the United States National Weather Service's operational storm surge model, SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) was used to predict the maximum storm surge surface using track data from meteorological observations. Local inundation is computed using the flood water depth with the ground elevation above the mean sea level. Residential exposure is estimated using total number of housing units damaged by flood water in each US census block in a grid of 0.01 by 0.01 degrees for hurricane Katrina in 2005. The modeled results for the storm surge inundation and the estimated number of housing units damaged by hurricane Katrina are compared with the extensive field observations by US Geological Survey and FEMA in the counties along the Gulf Coast in the three impacted states of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The modeled surge results are compared and contrasted with high water mark observations, where available. Storm surge losses in residential construction are highly sensitive to location and are best evaluated at a fine spatial resolution. This paper presents the analysis of the catastrophic flood risk based on the magnitude of hurricane storm surge flood depth on a local scale of US census blocks. The framework presented here is analytically-derived and can be used to provide future hurricane flood information with geographic details for other regions along the US Gulf and Atlantic coastal line.
Tsunami Hazard in the Algerian Coastline
The Algerian coastline is located at the border between the African and the Eurasian tectonic plates. The collision between these two plates is approximately 4 to 7 mm/yr. The Alps and the tellian Atlas result from this convergence. Historical and present day data show the occurrence of earthquakes with magnitude up to 7 degrees on Richter scale in the northern part of the country. Cities were destroyed and the number of victims reached millions of people. Recently, small seismic waves generated by a destructive earthquake (Epicenter: 36.90N, 3.71E; Mw=6.8; Algeria, 2003, NEIC) were recorded in the French and Spanish coasts. This event raised again the issue of tsunami hazard in western Mediterranean region. For the Algerian study case, the assessment of seismic and tsunami hazard is a matter of great interest because of fast urban development of cities like Algiers. This study aims to provide scientific arguments to help in the elaboration of the Mediterranean tsunami alert program. This is a real complex issue because (1) the western part of the sea is narrow, (2) constructions on the Algerian coastline do not respect safety standards and (3) the seismic hazard is important. The present work is based on a numerical modeling approach. Firstly, a database is created to gather and list information related to seismology, tectonic, abnormal sea level's variations recorded/observed, submarine and coastal topographic data for the western part of the Mediterranean margin. This database helped to propose series of scenario that could trigger tsunami in the Mediterranean sea. Seismic moment, rake and focal depth are the major parameters that constrain the modeling input seismic data. Then, the undersea earthquakes modeling and the seabed deformations are computed with a program adapted from the rngchn code based on Okada's analytic equations. The last task of this work consisted to calculate the initial water surface displacement and simulate the triggered tsunami. Generation and propagation of induced seismic waves were estimated with another program adapted from the swan code for the resolution of the hydrodynamic shallow water equations. The results obtained will be firstly presented. Then, based on seismic waves travel times and run up height values, a large discussion will focus on the tsunami alert program for cities marked by fast urban development.
Modeling and Economics of Air Pollution Abatement Policies in the Valley of Mexico
Using meteorological and air quality models it has been possible to study the air pollution phenomenon in the Valley of Mexico. This capability together with the development of a system to obtain vehicular emissions in Mexico City, allow estimating the possible reductions in Ozone concentrations because of the introduction of new car technologies such as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV´s) in Mexico City. Using this data together with epidemiological studies, a prediction on avoided cases of mortality and morbidity due to reduction in ambient concentrations of Ozone are obtained. Monetary values of these reductions are calculated valuating this car technology change. This methodology will allow the prediction on health benefits because of the introduction of bio fuels and other vehicular technologies in Mexico City.
MCCM-WEPS: A Computational Tool to Study and Evaluate Air Pollution by Dust Particles over Mexico City.
Since natural dust emissions are an important factor in the air quality of Mexico City, a modeling effort to quantify and locate its sources and evaluate their impact on the population is presented. The system obtained from coupling Multiscale Climate and Chemistry Model (MCCM) and Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) was developed to study the dispersion of particles from natural sources (unprotected soils) of the mostly dry Lake of Texcoco and agricultural lands located around Mexico City. As a result of this research we developed a system with the capability of modeling the phenomenon of air pollution by natural particles emitted by wind erosion and to generate case study scenarios useful to propose control policies. Some case studies and their economical impact on public health benefits are presented.
Strong Interaction between Dust and Himalayan Snow Cover
Dust storms are commonly observed over the Indo-Gangetic plains prior to the monsoon season. These dust storms originate from Arabia peninsula and transported to the Indo-Gangetic plains and reach up to Himalayan region. Dust storms interact all along its path, and affect the ocean and earth surface, and degrade the air quality. Depending upon its trajectory, dust storms cover the snow surface in the Himalayan region. Interaction of the dust and snow cover is found to be very strong that affect the melting of the snow cover. Detailed analysis of multi sensor data will be presented that show strong interaction of dust storm and snow cover, this has lead to the depletion of the areal extent of the snow cover especially in the western parts of the Himalayan region.

Which Celebrity Rehab Alum Was Arrested For Trying to Crash an Oscars After Party?
On Sunday night veteran film actress Sean Young was arrested for trying to get into the Governor's Ball after the 84th Annual Academy Awards. Party-foul ejections seem to be a regular thing for the 52-year-old actress, who is best known for her roles in Blade Runner and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
Back in 2006, Sean tried to crash another notable Oscars after party, the Vanity Fair party, but was turned away. Two years later, in 2008, Sean heckled Julian Schnabel at the Directors' Guild Awards and was promptly removed from the audience, reports The A.V. Club. Sean entered rehab days later, and she appeared on Season 5 of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew just last year.
According to RadarOnline, Sean was placed under citizen's arrest Sunday after slapping a security guard barring her entry to the Governor's Ball. Sean tried to explain the incident to Radar while entering police custody: "I was standing outside ... seeing friends going up to the Governor's Ball. What this really means is that the Academy recommends — that its lawyers recommend — that [I] be carted off to spend four hours at the Hollywood police."

FDA Approves Zykadia for Late-stage Lung Cancer »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today granted accelerated approval to Zykadia (ceritinib) for patients with a certain type of late-stage (metastatic) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Zykadia is an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)"...
Read the FDA Approves Zykadia for Late-stage Lung Cancer article »
IRESSA (getfitinib) is indicated as monotherapy for the continued treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer after failure of both platinum-based and docetaxel chemotherapies who are benefiting or have benefited from IRESSA (getfitinib) .
In light of positive survival data with other agents including another oral EGFR inhibitor, physicians should use other treatment options in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patient populations who have received one or two prior chemotherapy regimens and are refractory or intolerant to their most recent regimen.
The effectiveness of IRESSA (getfitinib) was initially based on objective response rates (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY - Clinical Studies section). Subsequent studies intended to demonstrate an increase in survival have been unsuccessful. Specifically, results from a large placebo-controlled randomized trial in patients with advanced NSCLC who progressed while receiving or within 90 days of the last dose of chemotherapy or were intolerant to the most recent prior chemotherapy regimen, did not show an improvement in survival (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY - Clinical Studies section).
Results from two large, controlled, randomized trials in first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer showed no benefit from adding IRESSA (getfitinib) to doublet, platinum-based chemotherapy.
The recommended daily dose of IRESSA (getfitinib) is one 250 mg tablet with or without food. Higher doses do not give a better response and cause increased toxicity.
For Patients who have Difficulty Swallowing Solids
IRESSA (getfitinib) tablets can also be dispersed in half a glass of drinking water (noncarbonated). No other liquids should be used. Drop the tablet in the water, without crushing it, stir until the tablet is dispersed (approximately 10 minutes) and drink the liquid immediately. Rinse the glass with half a glass of water and drink. The liquid can also be administered through a naso-gastric tube.
Dosage Adjustment
Patients with poorly tolerated diarrhea (sometimes associated with dehydration) or skin adverse drug reactions may be successfully managed by providing a brief (up to 14 days) therapy interruption followed by reinstatement of the 250 mg daily dose.
In the event of acute onset or worsening of pulmonary symptoms (dyspnea, cough, fever), IRESSA (getfitinib) therapy should be interrupted and a prompt investigation of these symptoms should occur and appropriate treatment initiated. If interstitial lung disease is confirmed, IRESSA (getfitinib) should be discontinued and the patient treated appropriately (see WARNINGS - Pulmonary Toxicity, PRECAUTIONS - INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS and ADVERSE REACTIONS sections).
Patients who develop onset of new eye symptoms such as pain should be medically evaluated and managed appropriately, including IRESSA (getfitinib) therapy interruption and removal of an aberrant eyelash if present. After symptoms and eye changes have resolved, the decision should be made concerning reinstatement of the 250 mg daily dose (see PRECAUTIONS - INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS and ADVERSE REACTIONS sections).
In patients receiving a potent CYP3A4 inducer such as rifampicin or phenytoin, a dose increase to 500 mg daily should be considered in the absence of severe adverse drug reaction, and clinical response and adverse events should be carefully monitored (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY - Pharmacokinetics-Drug-Drug Interactions and PRECAUTIONS - DRUG INTERACTIONS sections).
No dosage adjustment is required on the basis of patient age, body weight, gender, ethnicity, or renal function; or in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment due to liver metastases (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY - Pharmacokinetics-Special Populations section).
IRESSA (getfitinib) tablets are supplied as round, biconvex, brown film-coated tablets intagliated with "IRESSA (getfitinib) 250" on one side and plain on the other side, each containing 250 mg of gefitinib.

Hobe Sound, FL (PRWEB) May 06, 2014
Startup specialty food company, Tru Table, has announced the launch of their flagship line of protein-enriched salad dressings and dips—the first of its kind to enter the market. With 9 to 12 grams of protein per serving, Tru Table dressings have as much protein as 1.5 – 2 large eggs.
The Florida-based company was founded by PGA Tour player and entrepreneur, Freddie Jacobson, and chef Scot Elmore. For more than 25 years, Scot has used high-quality, natural ingredients to create gourmet food at prestigious clubs across the country. Freddie has played golf and enjoyed food all over the world, but it was Scot's salads that caught his attention. "I knew that other people would love his salads as much as I do", says Jacobson. "I'm very proud of what we have created at Tru Table."
Tru Table dressings and dips are made from all natural ingredients and are enriched with whey protein isolate, the purest and most easily absorbed form of whey protein. "We wanted to take something that is usually an indulgence," says Scot Elmore, "and turn it into something that would add to the salad's nutritional value. What better way than with protein?"
They are all gluten-free with no (or very low) cholesterol and three of the four flavors are vegetarian. "Tru Table helps support a gluten-free diet, a vegetarian diet, a low fat/low cholesterol diet," says Tru Table CEO, Jody Kalmbach. "It's also a great way to help kids and seniors get more protein into their daily meals."
Tru Table recently returned from their debut at Natural Products Expo West where they were nominated for a Nexty Award. The dressings and dips are available in four gourmet flavors: Orange Citrus & Black Chia Seed, Asian Sweet Chili & Tamari, Orange Blossom Honey & Balsamic and Key Lime Caesar with Asiago. Tru Table is coming to Whole Foods markets in Florida in May, or buy online at http://www.ShopTruTable.com. To learn more, visit http://www.TruTable.com.

Crocodrillo is a beautifully Croco-embossed Italian leather with a polished finish. It has a soft but textured touch reflecting the wonderful replica it is meant to be.
This product was better than I anticipated. The presentation was excellent and the recipient was very appreciative of such a unique gift.
Very simple but elegant - just what I was looking for. Leather is high quality (has that great leather smell) and monogram was done well. Will make a great gift. Would have preferred the lines in the notepad to be not so close together.
Purchased for boss for birthday--he loves it! The customer service when I called to be sure I was ordering the correct item, the quality, the super fast shipping, were all first class!The smile on my boss' face and the sincere appreciation for a quality item when he opened it--just a great deal all around!
Very nice leather, looks exactly as pictured.
I bought this as a graduation gift and it came beautifully boxed for presentation - I didn't even need to wrap it! The leather is very rich and supple and it doesn't "look" refillable, unless you look very closely which is nice. I was very pleased and so was the recipient - who immediately started writing in it!
Looks absolutely stunning! The leather is great quality and the monogram came out flawlessly. It is a great size for a journal and very practical.
I was very pleased with the journal quality as well as personalization. I ordered 4 extra refills and was very pleased with the heavy weight paper for them also. This was for a retirement gift. I will certainly order from Leatherology.
very well made, timely delivery
