Book Blitz: Crash Into Me by Tracy Wolff
Entangled is celebrating the release of Tracy Wolff's new series with a giveaway. I can't resist books about rock stars, so I want to check Crash into Me out.
Crash Into My by Tracy Wolff
She's totally off limits, but this rocker wants a taste…
Jamison Matthews has lusted after Ryder Montgomery since she was a preteen. But now that Ryder and her brother's band, Shaken Dirty, has made it huge, she's just one of many pining for the brooding lead singer. Too bad Ryder still sees her as a little sister. Not that it matters. Her brother would never allow it, and the last thing Jamison wants is to be another notch on a rock star's bed post. Even if it's Ryder's.Read more
Interview with Madelynne Ellis, Author of Come Undone
Please welcome Madelynne Ellis to the virtual offices this morning. She dropped by to chat about her latest release Come Undone.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Madelynne Ellis] The quiet one, who listens and doesn't say much.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about Come Undone?
[Madelynne Ellis] Come Undone is the first in a series of books that explore the relationship between Dani Fosbrook, a university student with Xane Geist, the frontman of an internationally famous goth metal band called Black Halo. (I've also plans for other members of the band, but I'm trying not to get ahead of myself.) Come Undone covers the first few critical days of Xane and Dani's relationship, which happen to coincide with Xane announcing the band's demise.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Madelynne Ellis] I'm never entirely sure where my characters come from. They mostly arrive, tell me there names, and I learn about them as I write. I did know I wanted to write about an extreme metal band and the dynamics within such a group.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Dani?
[Madelynne Ellis] Insecure. Loyal. Survivor.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If Xane had a theme song, what would it be?
[Madelynne Ellis] I really, really want to say something loud and raucous, much like the sort of music Xane likes to write and perform, but actually, it's Come Undone by Robbie Williams.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name one thing Dani is never without.
[Madelynne Ellis] Clothing. She really doesn't like being exposed.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things will you never find in Xane's bathroom?
[Madelynne Ellis] Hairspray, Ash's underwear (Black Halo's lead guitarist) and anything pink or frilly.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is Dani's greatest regret?
[Madelynne Ellis] Losing contact with her father.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Madelynne Ellis] I'm not sure I have any very specific ones. I tend to mine ideas from all over the place. I have a bit of a fangirl crush on Gackt, does that count?
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Madelynne Ellis] 1) Writing implement, laptop out of preference but I've been known to write on toilet tissue using eyeliner pencil. 2) Silence, if at all possible and 3) A large cup of decaf coffee.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What was your biggest distraction while working on Come Undone?
[Madelynne Ellis] Watching clips of rock bands and music videos, but it was research, honest.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Madelynne Ellis] It's not often that a book grabs hold of me and won't let go anymore. I think being a writer makes it harder to read without analysing the work at the same time. Probably either Silent in the Sanctuary by Deanna Raybourn or Darkfever by Karen Marie Moning.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading, which would it be?
[Madelynne Ellis] Finally, an easy question That would be The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. I've adored that book since I was about thirteen.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Madelynne Ellis] Roleplay, both tabletop and live, read and watch DVDs.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?

On stage he's dynamite. Off stage he rocks her world.
When red-hot, Goth-metal band, Black Halo, split live on stage, fate throws Daniella Fosbrook into the path of sexy vocalist Xane Geist. Initially, Xane's only looking for a ride home, but Dani tempts him in a way a thousand other women haven't. Determined to explore their heady chemistry and avoid hashing things out with the band, Xane whisks Dani off to Monaco for a steamy weekend.
There, Dani tries her best to hang onto her heart and some clothing, while Xane soon loses both. However, Xane isn't being entirely honest about the reason for the band's demise. When the truth comes out, can Dani accept the facts, or will everything come undone.

Book 1 in the NA rock star series, Lost in Oblivion
Coming in September
Onstage he's Demon, the unsurpassable bassist.
Offstage he's the Peacemaker, the mastermind who keeps his volatile band from imploding.
Opening for their idols on their first ever tour, Oblivion is living the dream. That dream becomes a nightmare when Oblivion draws more attention than the headliner and egos clash. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts only coming up for air long enough to refuel—and that means hunting down the catering truck at odd hours.
Especially the deliciously cute chef who excites his taste buds as much as his body.
The child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless and surprisingly gourmet stomach is too tempting to resist. Before long, she finds herself wanting to experiment with him outside the kitchen.
When Harper sees that Deacon's sense of responsibility is doing him serious damage, she realizes he's far from the typical rock star. But as the band's fame grows, she wonders if she can love a man who doesn't know how to let anyone in—even her.
You met Deacon McCoy in SEDUCED, now you can watch just how far a big man can fall.

Meet Jake Olsen from Robyn Thomas' Famously Engaged and Giveaway!
We have a special guest in the virtual offices this morning! Rocker hottie Jake Olsen from Robyn Thomas' Famously Engaged dropped in for a visit, so please give him a warm welcome.
[Manga Maniac Café] Describe yourself in five words or less.
[Jake Olsen] Only five? I'm accustomed to being the 'mouth' of Five Awesome Emperors and talking us up in interview situations, so limiting my answer will be a challenge. I'd have to say: caged, ambitious, loyal, itinerant and overconfident.
[Manga Maniac Café] Can you share a typical day in the life of Jake Olsen?
[Jake Olsen] There is no pattern to my days. They start early, finish late and usually involve some combination of the following: long distance travel, public appearances, radio interviews, video and photo shoots, working out, recording, performing and song writing. If all five Emperors are in the same city, and our schedule can be twisted to accommodate it, I get the band together for a quick jam session.
[Manga Maniac Café] What three words come to mind when you think of Beth?
[Jake Olsen] Beth is essential, admirable, strong and grounded. (Did I mention that I can't count?)
[Manga Maniac Café] What do you find most exasperating about her?
[Jake Olsen] Beth's loyalty to her ex-husband drives me CRAZY. Their divorce failed to break the bond between them and his upcoming wedding shows no sign of succeeding either. I can't understand why she'd settle for his company when she has access to me 24/7.
[Manga Maniac Café] If you could change one thing you've done in your life, what would it be?
[Jake Olsen] I wouldn't change a thing. I carried around some hefty regrets before I met Beth, but every bad decision and foolish mistake I ever made combined to lead me to her doorstep. Music is important to me, but I could always write songs for other people, tour with a different band or pursue a solo career. Beth is my weakness, my strength and my reason for living. I can't imagine a life better than the one I share with Beth, so I have no desire to change anything.
[Manga Maniac Café] Thank you!
About the book:
A chef and a rock star. They couldn't be from more different worlds…
Rock star royalty's favorite son, Jake Olsen, couldn't help but interfere after listening to his future brother-in-law talk non-stop about his ex-wife, Beth Carlisle. Jake decides that the only way to get the groom's mind off his ex-wife is to give her a fake fiancé.
Before Jake can convince Beth of his plan, he's forced to move in with her to avoid the paparazzi. Their instant attraction makes for a sizzling "first date", but soon Jake's fame gets in the way and Beth wants out. Too bad Jake's figured out just why her ex is so obsessed with her, and he's afraid he's not going to be able to give her up either.
Now it's up to Jake to convince this chef together they make the perfect recipe.
About Robyn Thomas:

Interview with Aimée Duffy, author of Never Say Never
Please welcome Aimée Duffy to the virtual offices today. She is celebrating the release of Never Say Never, and she brought along a short excerpt for you to enjoy. Check out what she has to say!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Aimée] Manic reader, compulsive shoe shopper and closet Dr Who fan—oops.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about Never Say Never?
[Aimée] Singer and reality television presenter, Sander Chase is being forced into going to his ex-fiancé's engagement party. He bribes a waitress, Chloe Butler, from his local coffee shop to go with him. Part of the deal is spending enough time together to be photographed around London.
He's too busy to date for real, and Chloe has a bad history dating celebrities, so they are not looking for anything more. Unfortunately they're also very attracted to each other and fighting to keep their hands to themselves is harder than it should be, especially since Sander has a dark secret that means there can't possibly be any future for them.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Aimée] Sander is one of the judges on the reality singing competition Do You Have What it Takes? in book 1, The Monster of Fame. I already had a rough idea of who he was, and what he didn't need in his life—a relationship.
Chloe is his perfect and worst match, all rolled into one. She has the beauty to reel him in, the backbone to put him in his place and the smarts to keep him interested—which in his opinion makes her dangerous.
The story isn't set during the show. I wanted to make the book readable as a standalone or a follow up to The Monster of Fame, so Sander and Chloe are completely separate from the other characters, although the heroine from The Monster of Fame does make an appearance.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Chloe?
[Aimée] Stubborn, compassionate, loyal.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If Sander had a theme song, what would it be?
[Aimée] Green Day's, Boulevard of Broken Dreams. He'd probably disagree, but it suits his past.
[Manga Maniac Café] Name one thing Chloe is never without.
[Aimée] Her cell phone, but only because her mum's ill and she needs to be contacted easily.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things will you never find in Sander's bathroom?
[Aimée] Anything pink.
Fancy soaps.
Hair spray.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is Chloe's greatest regret?
[Aimée] Moving to LA after college.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Aimée] Gossip magazines. It's amazing what the mind comes up with when reading about famous people's lives.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Aimée] Music, a comfy seat and Wikipedia
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Aimée] Tempted by Trouble, by Michelle Smart.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading, which would it be?
[Aimée] Of Mice and Men, or the Goosebumps series. Probably the latter.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Aimée] Shop. When it's not raining, I love to go hillwalking. Way cheaper than letting me loose with my credit card.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?
[Aimée] Website
[Manga Maniac Café] Thank you!

About the book:
When pretend turns to desire, heartbreak is unavoidable.
Sander Chase needs a date for his ex-fiancée's engagement party, but he doesn't have time for a woman in his life. Between working on the TV show Do You Have What It Takes? and his band reforming, he's too busy for a relationship. What he needs is a pretend girlfriend. He thinks he may have found the perfect woman for the job, and the bribe he offers means she's sure to accept.
After losing her job in the film industry, breaking up with her movie star boyfriend, and finding out her mum has dementia, Chloe Butler returned to the UK determined to put her life back together. The last thing she needs is to parade around London on the arm of a celebrity, and after the heartbreak caused by her ex, she swore she'd never again date a star. But when Sander offers her a chance at her dream job, it's not something she can turn down.
As Chloe gets to know Sander she learns he's nothing like her scumbag ex. But she struggles to fight her attraction to him, knowing their relationship is only for show and their separation date is closing in fast.
Ignoring the insane chemistry between them should be easy for Sander, especially since he carries a secret that means there can be no future for them, but the more time he spends with Chloe, the harder it is to keep his hands to himself.
Content Warning: contains more denial than you'll find in a courtroom, more sexual tension than most people could handle, and explosive sex that some readers may find long overdue.
About the author:
Aimée writes steamy, contemporary romance for the 21st century woman who enjoys the 21st century alpha male. She's addicted to reading, shopping and can't go a day without music. When she's not writing you can find her traipsing up the Ochils (weather permitting of course) or procrastinating on Facebook and Twitter.
Chloe Butler's mouth dropped open. She struggled to remember how to close it as she stared at the man with the expectant expression on his avenging angel face. She couldn't have heard him right. Sander Chase would never ask someone like her out on a date.
"Excuse me?"
He flashed his Hollywood smile. "Come on. Don't make a guy ask twice."
Nope, she'd not misheard him, nor had she gone mad. Months of serving him coffee and this was the first time he'd shown any kind of interest in her.
"I'm sorry." She retreated a few steps. She couldn't date a celebrity, not after what happened the last time. She was just beginning to get her life back together. Not to mention the fact her mum needed her around more than ever. "I can't. Thank you for the offer."
Chloe tried to smile politely, but it was harder than usual. She turned to head back to the counter to get on with her work. If her boss Richard caught her talking to a celebrity, he'd get the wrong idea and hand her a P45 before she could explain. After all, the coffee shop was a classy place. Not even the press were allowed in.
A large, warm hand ensnared her wrist and drew her to a halt. Electrified jolts shot up her arm from the contact.
"Can't or don't want to?"
She turned back to Sander and saw his brow was raised and amusement glittered in his baby blue eyes. Pushy, wasn't he?
"Don't want to," she replied, determined not to give him any hope.
Can't left wiggle room, and there was definitely no wiggle room. She'd sworn off men after the last one had taken her for a mug.
Her reply seemed to please him. His grin grew huge and her heart sped. She frowned at the reaction and put it down to the stress of the situation. After all, as far as she was concerned, her libido was extinct.
"That's perfect."
Was he mad? From her experience, celebrities could be a little…odd. But she'd never met a full-blown lunatic before. "I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean."
Why wasn't she backing away? Better yet, why wasn't she demanding he let go of her arm? She darted a glance around the coffee shop. Most of the customers' attention was on their morning papers.
"I don't need a date. I need a pretend one."
Interview with Ainslie Paton, Author of Getting Real
Please give a warm welcome to Ainslie Paton, who is visiting the virtual offices to chat about her rock n' roll romance, Getting Real.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Describe yourself in 140 characters or less.
[Ainslie Paton] Oh Mom, do I have to? Okay. I like to watch. That's it, that's the key plot point. That tells you both too little and too much. And has the side benefit of making me sound way more interesting than I actually am.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Can you tell us a little about Getting Real?
[Ainslie Paton] This is not your classic rock star romance.
In the classic rock star romance the hero is the musician and the leading lady is in some ways subservient or dependent on him as either a groupie, a fan, a journalist or an ex-girlfriend from his pre-fame days. Oh sure, the heroine eventually puts the dude on his knees, but I wondered what would happen when it was the other way around.
I wanted my heroine on top and in control. I wanted her powerful and independent. And then I wanted to screw with her and put all the things she'd rejected in her life in a different perspective, particularly men.
Getting Real is a story about how tragedy shapes people and how forgiveness is the only way forward. It's also about fear, both rational and irrational, change and learning to be true.
It's the story of a badass rock chick and a boy next door roadie and what happens when they challenge each other.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
[Ainslie Paton] You do not want to be in my dreams. I had a waking vision where I saw a singer suspended above her raging, screaming audience. She was performing her heart out, fearless and fabulous. But with her was a man who was terrified – meltdown point terrified. He was holding on to her as if she was the only thing that would keep him from falling.
Of course I had to find a story to go with that.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three words best describe Rielle?
[Ainslie Paton] Hard shell, soft interior, brave. Have I mentioned I do words not numbers?
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If Jake had a theme song, what would it be?
[Ainslie Paton] Old AC/DC. "It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll."
[Manga Maniac Cafe] Name one thing Rielle is never without.
[Ainslie Paton] Her tough girl rock chick disguise.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things will you never find in Jake's bedroom?
[Ainslie Paton] Primarily Jake! As a professional touring roadie he's rarely at home. Also clean sheets and stray women. He's a nice boy!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is Rielle's greatest regret?
[Ainslie Paton] Ah – now that would be a huge spoiler. HUGE. I reserve the right to totally fudge this question. It's not the tattoos, or the scar.
But ok if you read the free prequel you'll get the picture: http://www.escapepublishing.com.au/gettingrealprequel
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What are your greatest creative influences?
[Ainslie Paton] Okay, you're going to think I'm a lunatic and oh, oh so, so boring. There are two key ones: Butt in seat—meaning I have to sweat it and sleep—meaning stuff comes to me in dreams and waking moments. And then there's brilliant TV, other clever writers and what happens inside my brain at the gym when I'm on the deadly boring elliptical and simply trying to breath. Oh and sometimes migraine medication is a blast! But maybe don't tell anyone that.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What three things do you need in order to write?
[Ainslie Paton] I can write in my head and frequently do. But I do need to scratch it down eventually. So keyboard and screen, pen and pad, pencil and scrap paper, finger and steamed up mirror. They all work. But they work way better with coffee!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What is the last book that you read that knocked your socks off?
[Ainslie Paton] Gone Girl. I squealed! And I'm not a squealer. I like to watch remember. Squealing would just give me away! If you're a watcher you have to be quiet.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] If you had to pick one book that turned you on to reading, which would it be?
[Ainslie Paton] Not a book, a person. My grandfather. He used to tell stories. They always had chocolate cake and fire engines in them. A storybook was the next best thing to a grandfather story.
[Manga Maniac Cafe] What do you like to do when you aren't writing?
[Ainslie Paton] Oh gawd I'm so boring. Read!
[Manga Maniac Cafe] How can readers connect with you?
[Ainslie Paton] They can read my blog – although I wouldn't read my blog. It's random! I have a facebook page I occasionally remember to feed and I twitter when I should be doing something more valuable.
Here's the dets:
@Ainslie Paton

About the book:
From the bestselling author of Grease Monkey Jive comes a rollercoaster rock-and-roll ride of confronting fears, making music, and learning to be true.
Rielle Mainline is a rock star with a hardcore image, a troubled heart, and a twenty-five-city tour to front with her band, Ice Queen. She should be ecstatic. But the tour includes Sydney and Rielle has spent years running away from that city.
Jake Reed knows Rielle's reputation as a prize bitch will make being Ice Queen's tour manager a challenge, but Jake's confident he can handle her — until he meets her. Then he's off-balance, not sure if he wants to run as fast as he can towards or away from her. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and two loners are about to discover that being alone isn't the same as being lonely.
See Escape Publishing for free 3000 word prequel: Ice Queen Origins.

Landscapes of the Metropolis of Death is both a contemplation of these facts and a reflection upon living with them for decades.
contemplation and meditation are not just for monks and hermits.
Birthdays can be moments of contemplation, reexamination, and reinvention.
c.1200, "religious musing," from Old French contemplation or directly from Latin contemplationem (nominative contemplatio) "act of looking at," from contemplat-, past participle stem of contemplari "to gaze attentively, observe," originally "to mark out a space for observation" (as an augur does). From com-, intensive prefix (see com-), + templum "area for the taking of auguries" (see temple (n.1)).

Bobby Rosenbloum
Greenberg Traurig
When technology companies wish to acquire licensing rights to launch music services, it's a reasonable bet that Rosenbloum, appearing for the first time on the list, will be at the negotiating table. He estimates that he represents 75 percent of the companies in the digital music space, including Microsoft, AT&T Mobility, Digital Media Association, Rdio, Slacker and Omnifone. "Name a device, I have it in my briefcase," he says. "When I go through airport security and have to open it, they think I work for RadioShack." Rosenbloum is also working on a number of the rights issues associated with cloud storage locker services.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 21, 2013
A plastic surgery Internet marketing services provider, CosmeticSugeonsOnline.com was voted #1 for plastic surgery SEO services following an Internet survey.
In the survey, respondents were asked to name the "Best Plastic Surgery SEO Services".
Sources familiar with SEO services say the outcome was predictable. Well-known in the plastic surgery Internet marketing circle, CosmeticSugeonsOnline.com was identified more by patients than any other selection based on superior client results.
The poll was focused on choosing the service with the best plastic surgery SEO services, so involved an argument about which one would claim the number one spot. There were exhaustive efforts to keep the online ballot fair to participants. Independent SEO marketing experts reviewed the results and decided upon the winner.
Once the poll was opened, a race to #1 ensued to determine who would be the best plastic surgery SEO provider as rated by their clients. CosmeticSugeonsOnline.com was the indisputable leader after the results were verified. The services which are provided by JD Media Surge, LLC was officially ranked #1 for plastic surgery SEO services after the poll closed.
Most Internet marketing experts agreed the company deserved the recognition, when asked about the results of the online poll. Others were in disbelief, but did not dispute the plastic surgery SEO company's deserving of the title.
CosmeticSugeonsOnline.com was likely recognized in the poll as the best plastic surgery SEO services because of its ability to attract patients through its website ranking services, and the satisfaction of clients with their results.

"I have always liked the CAO pipe tobaccos various unique aroma's, but was always disappointed by the bite. I just tried the new Black, and it by far the best CAO pipe tobacco yet! Great tin aroma, lights up and fills the room with a wonderful smoke. Right from the start I could really taste the fruit at the finish. The tobacco smokes good straight through, kinda loses the fruity taste after a bit, but still tastes and smokes great to the finish. If you enjoy aromatics, you need to buy this, you will not be disappointed. And yeah, of course CI has the best price on the net."
"Just fantastic. Perfect any time of day."
"Fine tobacco, beautiful to smoke, and the ladies love to smell its smoke."
"Every once in a while I satisfy my sweet tooth with tobacco. This one fits the bill. The tin note is amazing, mine was not overly moist as others have noted. It burned well with minimal relights - none until I neared the bottom of the bowl. The room note got the "wife seal of approval." On the downside, I wish it had a little more tobacco taste to it and a little more kick. No matter how hard I pushed IT DID NOT BITE. Overall - not a bad smoke."

The following is for genealogists with an interest in Joseph's family history.
Ancestor List for Joseph Kinney
The ancestor list uses the "ahnen" numbering system and presents seven generations in plain text. There are no images or colors. This makes it well-suited for printing when you're doing offline research.
Compact Family Tree
This alternative tree view is packed with eight generations — up to 254 ancestors — along with birth and death dates and locations. The downside is that it's not a conventional tree format; it may take a couple minutes to orient yourself.
Since Joseph has no children the descendants page isn't available. Do you know of children? Please let the profile managers know.
DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants
Genetic genealogy is the new frontier. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Joseph's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Joseph gets his Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Joseph's X chromosome, also shown here. The DNA Descendants link isn't active because Joseph has no children. It may still be possible to test connections to Joseph by testing other descendants of his ancestors who inherited the same Y chromosome, X chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
DNA Ancestor Confirmation Aid
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Joseph's tree. This is still fairly complex. WikiTree is working on tools that will make it simpler.
Family Group Sheet
This page illustrates nuclear families based on marriages. It's especially handy when someone had children from more than one marriage. It may not be useful here unless you add a spouse.
Global Family Reunion Connection
This is a special tool associated with the Global Family Reunion being planned for this June. It enables you to see Joseph's connection to AJ Jacobs, the organizer of the reunion. Note that the Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder.
Images of Joseph
There aren't any photographs or source images for Joseph yet. Login to upload one.
Index of Kinneys
This page shows all the Kinneys on WikiTree. It's useful for genealogists with an interest in the surname that goes beyond Joseph. There are a variety of connected tools, such as Kinney DNA Connections and KINNEY G2G.
Printer-Friendly Tree
This view parallels the pedigree chart above but it is optimized for printing. It can be used as a fill-in-the-blanks form at a family gathering.
Profile of Joseph
The profile page is the central place for organizing and viewing information and sources on an individual. This tree & tools page is a supplement to it. Whenever you see Joseph's name on WikiTree (and ideally, elsewhere on the Internet!) it will be linked to the profile at http://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Kinney-324 where Kinney-324 is Joseph's unique WikiTree ID.
Relationship Finder
Enter Kinney-324 and any other WikiTree ID to find the genealogical relationship between Joseph and the other person. It will name the relationship, e.g. "third cousin twice removed," and show the trail of connections to a common ancestor. Although not everyone on WikiTree shares common ancestors, finding and connecting them is our ultimate goal.
Shareable Family Tree
This is a family tree page for Joseph that is designed for sharing on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, etc. Copy and paste the URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Kinney-324/4 into your favorite social network.
The surnames page is a quick reference sheet that displays seven generations of Joseph's family names. Many members share its URL http://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Kinney-324/10 via e-mail, e.g. with a DNA match to ask if the other person recognizes a surname.
Here are additional tools to help genealogists collaborate on WikiTree to grow Joseph's family history.
Activity Feed
Here you can view the additions and changes that WikiTree members have made to Joseph's profile so far.
Edit Profile and Relationships
Joseph's edit page is the central location for adding information and correcting mistakes. Is there anything you can add or improve upon? Since you're not logged-in yet you can't make changes directly. Contact the profile managers. Please don't go away without giving us your information and sources. Thank you!
Family Tree Widgets
If you're a blogger who's writing a post about Joseph or have a Kinney family website or surname website you can include one of these widgets to illustrate his tree.
Privacy Setting
You'll notice colored privacy icons in search results, the Kinney surname index, etc. The white dot for Joseph indicates that his profile is Open. Only the profile manager can edit this setting.
Tests of Joseph's DNA
If Joseph's DNA (not a family member's or descendant's DNA) has been tested for genealogical purposes the test or tests should be selected here. This will automatically create connections on the profiles of Joseph's relatives where the test may be useful for confirming relationships. It's very valuable for advanced genealogy. To add tests you need to be on Joseph's Trusted List.
Trusted List
This shows you the WikiTree members who have full power to access and edit Joseph's information. Use it to see who else shares your interest in Joseph and receives updates about changes to the profile. The Relationship Finder icon links next their names will show you their relationship to Joseph.
Here are ways to connect and communicate with genealogists regarding Joseph's profile, especially if you're unable to collaborate directly using the WikiTree Tools above.
Comment on Profile Message Board
Joseph's profile, like all WikiTree profiles, has a section for public comments. This is the best place to put anything you'd like seen by all genealogists who are interested in Joseph. Profile managers are alerted to new comments via e-mail, everyone on the Trusted List will see a notice about it in their activity feeds, and people who visit Joseph's profile in the future will see your comment. You will need to login to post.
Any image uploaded to WikiTree can be sent as a free e-card, including photos of Joseph or scans of vintage postcards. An e-card can be a great way to tell a genealogist or family member about what's here.
Privacy Take-Down Request Form
If you are Joseph or officially represent him and the profile manager refuses to remove personal information use this form.
Private Message — Directly Contact Profile Manager
Here you can send a private message to a Wiki Genealogist managing Joseph's profile. If there are multiple managers or genealogists involved, you will need to send separate messages. Unless your information is sensitive it's better to post a public comment. Login to post.
Trusted List Request Form
If you're a genealogist with a special interest in collaborating on Joseph's profile, join the Trusted List. The profile is Open so you don't need to be on the Trusted List to edit or improve upon it. You only need to join if you want to receive updates about him in your activity feeds or complete merges. You will need to login first.
If you have sourced information about Joseph, the WikiTree community thanks you in advance for not leaving here without sharing it. :-) We are on a mission to connect the human family on one free yet reliable and privacy-controlled tree. Although we will never be finished, we make amazing progress every day because tens of thousands of good genealogists are willing to help.

Whitehall Health CentreRead MoreThe body is a complex system—with slight imbalances in one area often setting off discomfort in another. Dr. Anthony DiCesaro at Whitehall Health Centre works to make cures simpler and address a wide range of maladies.

To this list of traditional treatment methods, Dr. DiCesaro adds cold-laser therapy. The laser's gentle glow doesn't heat tissue, yet it inspires cellular activity that can expedite the healing process, prevent the formation of scar tissue, and boost the collagen production. Different methods are also used inside Whitehall Health Centre's cosmetic division, where technicians use the SlenderRay Lipo treatment to flatten unwanted curves and a blue LED light to aid in teeth-whitening treatments.451 Valleybrook Rd.McMurray, PA US

Back to Old School- Backpacks, Rucksacks, Knapsacks, call it what you want, but they are super stylish now
Not since we all became stylishly exhausted from the ubiquitous 90's nylon Prada backpack, have they made such a strong fashion statement- not to mention, impossible to keep again in stock these days.Maybe it's the return of 90's minimalism that's trending now.Maybe it's that a backpack makes absolute sense when navigating the urban jungle on a bike.But from Euro street style to hot off the runways (see the Alexander Wang knapsack that we love, right), the backback is looking so right these days.Erogonomics aside, the right backpack needs to look right on you! Afterall, it's all about how the bag's shape plays with your rear.Published on September 07, 2010

Jane Birkin, bags a new album
Most fresh-faced fashionistas associate the British-born French singer and actress Jane Birkin solely as the muse for the iconic Hermes Birkin bag.And, perhaps, as the mother of modern muse and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, from her relationship with Serge Gainsbourg, or her other daughter actress, model, and designer of her eponymous Lee Cooper denim collection, Lou Doillon, from her relationship with Jacques Doillon. That's a whole lot of French chic pop culture namedropping, which is what makes Birkin's new autobiogrphical album, Enfants d'Hiver a Francophile must-have.Published on January 12, 2009

When I first received this product, I thought it was way too complex for me. After using it for a couple of weeks, this scent is now growing on me. The dry down is very nice, it is fluffy and powdery - very feminine. I wear the scent everyday, I am addicted. Also, this is my first time ordering from FragranceX - no problem with the product nor shipping.

Time for Matt to review one of his all time favorite Sonic games, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. It's normally a pretty split opinion on this game and it's not hard to see why. Does it still hold up like it did in his youth? Well, watch and see. Also, just to cover Matt's own butt here. He had way more missions beat and way better Chao before his memory card for the Gamecube corrupted earlier this year. It was a sad, sad day.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now
Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr photography database, allowing search by: tags(keywords); Flickr photography groups; Flickr users, their contacts, and favorites; free text; the Flickr Explore algorithm for interestingness.

I did my first insulin injection last night and my fasting # was still high
does it usually take more than the first day ??????
does it usually take more than the first day ??????
I started slow acting insulin (Lantus) last night. My fasting was lower (but still on the high side) but my after breakfast was sky high at 179. My after lunch was pretty high too. My insulin is a 24 hr one so I was surprised to see that it only worked for my fasting. I hope it will improve with some time.

Pronounced "sigh-pun". You can call me Sypon, Sy, Spoon, or whatever tickles your fancy that isn't Syphon. Ehehe.
I really am only on Gaia nowadays for the Hivestuck B/C that I've become part of! I am a RP manager at Hivestuck and temporarily am in charge of the RP aspect of the shop. I highly suggest joining if the world of Alternia and its inhabitants strikes your fancy. On the site I also enjoy carousing other RPs, dressing up my avatar as dim alien scientists and dodo samurai, and lurking. I don't have as much free time as I used to for other things, so most of my time's spend RPing in guilds. c:
I've got friend requests off because of reasons. Just PM me if you'd like a request (and we are actually well acquainted). Ain't no thang.
Awesome fun quiz results!
I'm currently going to school for digital art and animation, and I'm interested in going into a field of video game or cinema art. I also have a background in scenic painting and theatre production. I really enjoy both and am having fun applying one to the other! It does keep me EXTREMELY busy though, so during the school year I'm completely confined to Hivestuck and little else.
In terms of movies and media, I adore animated films, both 3d and 2d. I'm a story buff, but I'm also a huge fan of comedy and don't consider myself high-brow in any way. My favorite movie is probably Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I love lighter humor with sharp wit and great characters! This extends to my video game choices, which tend to be in the "N64 Family Games" era. My favorite games are Banjo Kazooie/Tooie and Psychonauts, but I played WoW through Vanilla, BC, a bit of Lich King and the first half of Cataclysm, stopping when I started attending school.
This is a rather dry profile page, so if you've read through it, thanks! XD I tend to keep this sparsely updated in case of a Word Games ambush.
Hey, and if you vaguely recognize me from the WG a few years back, feel free to say hi! Everyone seems to have gotten username changes, so I'm in a bit of a haze all the time. (Everything's so much money nowadays!)
Thanks for visiting.

Coming Soon: A World Populated Only By Old Apple Computers
Word is spreading of a new independent film, Project Genesis, involving a world populated only by old Apple computers. Italian director and filmmaker Alessio Fava has posted an enigmatic teaser of Macs shuffling around in a drab soulless environment, with hints of better existence:
We computers have always looked at our world from a single point of view: with resignation, limiting ourselves to survive. We were wrong! From this moment on, everything changes: new unexpected ways open up in front of us, the world we knew now becomes more accessible, simple, within everyone's range.
How To Fix Mac Missing Plug-In Errors [MacRx]
If you're a Mac user on the Internet, chances are you've come across a few websites where embedded content isn't displayed correctly. Instead you get an icon or an error message saying Missing Plug-In, often with few additional details about exactly what is missing.
While there's no single installer which will solve all missing plug-in problems, there are a few common things to start with. If those don't work you can delve deeper into non-common formats or the forgotten codecs of yesteryear.
Cats On The Prowl: The Evolution of Mac OS X From Cheetah To Mountain Lion [Gallery]
The year is 2012, and the March of the Big Cats continues. Apple is about to release Mountain Lion, the latest iteration of (Mac) OS X, and citizens of the Appleverse are eager to explore what this new feline has to offer. How far we've come in just over a decade.
Back in 2001 Apple introduced their new, long awaited replacement to the Classic Macintosh System Software: Mac OS X. As Mountain Lion goes on the prowl, Cult of Mac reviews the Evolution of OS X and once again presents our look back at Apple's Big Cats over the years – from Cheetah and Puma through to Apple's current Felidae offerings.
PowerMac G5 Evolves Into Next Generation Macquarium
The Macquarium has been around for decades, starting as a project to make use of old compact Mac cases. Subsequent iterations have seen many different variations – beige Performas, G3 iMacs, G4 Cubes, etc.. But this latest iteration is unique, and probably has the best structural integrity of them all.
Steve Shaw recently created his Macquarium from a PowerMac G5 case (mislabeled as a Mac Pro in the video), elbow grease and some powertools. He did a nice job, bright and airy. I love the Apple logo in the rear and overall industrial look. And the totem head.

The Crazy Adventures Of A Vintage Mac Collector [Interview]
What does it take to be a vintage Mac collector?
A love of all things Apple and an encyclopedic knowledge of the many successful, unsuccessful and downright notorious products Cupertino has released over the years are a given. But the job can be more perilous than you'd imagine.
Just ask Adam Goolevitch. Known as "wozniac" on eBay, Adam is one of the premier vintage Mac collectors around. In just he last couple of months, some of Googlevitch's rarest finds — including a 128k Mac with a 5.25" Twiggy floppy disk drive and a Macintosh SE with a clear outer case — have hit the web and sparked a flurry of interest.
But collecting these Macs isn't always easy. From almost losing a finger to a PowerMac G4 Cube to mistakenly being investigated by the police under the suspicion of dealing drugs instead of Macs, Googlevitch has some wild stories to tell that prove that being a vintage Mac collector isn't necessarily for the faint of heart.
Cult of Mac sat down with Adam to hear some of his adventures and also get the scoop on the rarest machines in his collection.
Another Rare Vintage Mac Surfaces: Macintosh SE with Clear Plastic Case
2012 has been a good year for vintage Macs surfacing from obscurity. Earlier this year we brought you news about an original 128k Mac with 5.25' Twiggy floppy disk for sale on eBay. This same owner contacted Cult of Mac recently to share some photos of his latest rare find: a prototype Macintosh SE with a clear plastic outer case, used for engineering air flow studies.

Scoopertino: Apple to Re-Release Apple II, the Computer Which Started It All [Humor]
Breaking fake news site Scoopertino is reporting that Apple has decided to take a retro approach with their new product offering, a re-release of the venerable Apple II microcomputer. An Apple press release (apparently) notes:
The Apple II gave birth to the computer industry. Now it's pregnant again — this time with unlimited possibilities.
Vintage Computer Festivals March On: KansasFest and VCF East, 2012 Editions
Old computers never really die, they just get passed on to grandkids and collectors. Likewise old computer users never die, they just don't get out as much as they used to. The internet is an unfriendly place for 8 bit processors and dialup modems.
To help relive old memories and make new ones, several festivals dedicated to computers with no commercial value make the rounds each year. This year for our vintage geek pleasures: the perennial Apple II bash called KansasFest, and the Vintage Computer Festival East.
Apple WALT – Was This the First iPhone? [Vintage Tech]
A rare and interesting Apple prototype surfaced on eBay recently, and although the auction has since ended we thought it notable enough to merit mention. A 1993 prototype called a WALT – Wizzy Active Lifestyle Telephone – combined a telephone, fax, personal address book and more with a HyperCard user interface. It never shipped, but this vaporware breakthrough netted the seller a cool $8000 on eBay.
Original Packaging Helps Increase Values of Vintage Macs
As the Mac approaches its thirtieth birthday and its progeny, the iPhone and iPad, grow to eclipse their parent, the resale and collector values of vintage Macs is steadily increasing. One of the things attractive to collectors when looking for old systems is original packaging – outer boxes and inside accessory packs. Such items add to period completeness and can significantly increase the value of an item.
