You need to know the definition of an Ahnentafel, - It is the German name that basically means Ancestor Table and had a definite way of numbering system used to identify each person in an ancestor lineage. The simple formula is that a person's father is double that of the one you are looking at. If I am #1, my father is #2 and my mother is #3 and it just goes on ( and on) that way - doubling for each person! Easiest numbering system that I have ever found........
I have placed asterisk** in front of the
ancestors that were in the western Virginia areas. This will make
it easy for those of you who just might have family in this same area.
As you can see, many of my fathers' family were in that area. I always
say my heart lies in West Virginia.
I have started with my father and taken myself off due to danger of identity fraud problems in today's world. I am sure you will understand!

I need your help! I want to get this eye shadow color, but the specific pallets are $25 each and I can't afford that (same price on Ebay too) are there any other brands with the same colors that are less expensive but just as good?
JΔ$ 2 kids; Georgia 84876 posts1st May '12
Nars is a very good brand and worth the money. Those colors are very basic and you can find them in any drug store palette or individual shadow. They may not be as pigmented or smooth though. Nars is 25 bucks for a reason, trust me.

Karen Rigsby is in her fourth season as part of the Wisconsin women's openweight program's coaching staff.
Though early in her UW coaching career, Rigsby has already made an impact. The team won its first Big Ten rowing championship, captured its first NCAA Central Regional title and placed a program-best seventh at the NCAA rowing championships in 2010. She was named the 2010 CRCA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year for her efforts.
Rigsby joined the Wisconsin staff in 2008 with over 12 years of rowing experience, including a silver medal at the 1996 Olympics and a bronze medal in the 2000 Olympics in the pair. She earned USRowing's Female Athlete of the Year after both medals and was nominated for the United States Olympic Committee's Sportswoman of the Year award in 1996 and 2000.
In addition to her Olympic experience, Rigsby rowed with her pair partner, Missy Ryan, to gold medals at various international and national events, including the 1996 and 1999 Lucerne, Switzerland World Cups, the 1995 Duisburg, Germany World Cup and the 1996 and 1999 U.S. national championships. The duo won a silver medal at the 1995 World Championships in Finland.
The latest addition to Rigsby's resume includes her induction into the National Rowing Hall of Fame in March 2010.
Formerly known as Karen Kraft, the San Mateo, Calif., native has been a Madison resident since 2001. A certified Bikram Yoga instructor, Rigsby has previously worked with the UW rowing team, as well as the Badger football program, in yoga training.
She worked as a summer camp rowing coach from 2001-04 in Madison with the UW-Madison and Camp Randall Rowing Camps, sending boats on to 12 gold medals at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta. She also coached in the summer of 2007 at the Princeton University Elite Rowing Camp.
Rigsby lives in Madison with her husband, Calvin. She is a 1991 graduate of Cal Poly State-San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor's of Architecture degree. She has also done coursework at Cal State-Hayward, Stanford and Wisconsin in physiology and biomechanics.

'91 U.S. Report Calls Colombian Leader Ally of Drug Lords
By JUAN FORERO
Published: August 2, 2004
BOGOTÁ, Colombia, Aug. 1 - A recently declassified American intelligence report from 1991 says that President Álvaro Uribe, now a staunch ally in Washington's war against drug trafficking, was at that time a close associate of Colombia's most powerful drug lord and an ardent ally of the cocaine traffickers then engulfing this country.
A spokesman for Mr. Uribe denounced the findings in the 13-year-old report, by the Defense Intelligence Agency, on Colombia's biggest drug traffickers as "the same information" presented in a smear campaign by political opponents in the 2002 presidential election. Senior American intelligence officials and diplomats cautioned that such reports might not be accurate. However, the statement issued by the spokesman for the president did not directly address the report's most damaging assertion: that Mr. Uribe was linked to the top drug kingpin of the era, Pablo Escobar.
The report, dated Sept. 23, 1991, and obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by the National Security Archives, a private, nonpartisan research group based in Washington, says Mr. Uribe, then a senator from the northern state of Antioquia, was "dedicated to collaboration with the Medellín cartel at high government levels."
The report, which the archives is making public on Monday, calls Mr. Uribe a "close personal friend" of the cartel's leader, Mr. Escobar, and says Mr. Uribe took part in the drug lord's successful efforts to secure a seat as an auxiliary congressman. It said Mr. Uribe was linked to an unidentified business involved in narcotics in the United States, that as a senator he opposed extraditing traffickers to the United States and that his father, Alberto Uribe, was killed because of his drug ties.
In response to inquiries by The New York Times, Ricardo Galán, a spokesman for Mr. Uribe, issued an eight-point response on Friday that said the Defense Intelligence Agency report was of a preliminary nature. The statement said that in 1991 Mr. Uribe was studying at Harvard and that he had never had business dealings in the United States.
The statement also said Mr. Uribe's father was killed resisting Marxist rebels who were trying to kidnap him. It affirmed Mr. Uribe's commitment to extradition, though it only loosely explained then-Senator Uribe's opposition to a proposed referendum on extradition. It did not address the report's allegation that Mr. Uribe took part in the campaign that propelled Mr. Escobar to Congress.
Robert Zimmerman, a State Department spokesman, was more emphatic in denying the report's findings. "We completely disavow these allegations about President Uribe," he said, adding, "We have no credible information that substantiates or corroborates the allegations in an unevaluated 1991 report."
Still, the report is sure to raise new questions about allegations made in 2001 and 2002, when Mr. Uribe was campaigning for the presidency, about possible ties to drug dealers, including the powerful Ochoa clan in Medellín, Colombia's drug-trafficking center. Solid evidence was never presented, though, and Mr. Uribe won in a landslide based on his pledge that he would fight Marxist rebels and drug traffickers.
The United States has strongly supported Mr. Uribe since then, and he is considered among the Bush administration's closest allies in its effort to curb drug trafficking.
During his two years in office, much of Colombia's vast drug fields have been eradicated in defoliation efforts financed by Washington. About 150 Colombians accused of drug trafficking have been extradited to the United States, more than double the number extradited by Mr. Uribe's predecessor during his four-year term.
Senior diplomats and intelligence officials involved in the drug war in Colombia at the time cautioned against drawing conclusions from the report, noting that such documents were routinely produced with little vetting or oversight.
But Michael L. Evans, the director of the Colombia documentation project of the National Security Archive, said the report provided strong evidence of Mr. Uribe's involvement in the drug trade. "We now know that the D.I.A., either through its own reporting or through liaison with another investigative agency, had information indicating that Álvaro Uribe was one of Colombia's top drug-trafficking figures," he said, though it was unclear what other agency might be involved.
He said the document's summary categorically stated that the report provided "information on the more important Colombian narco-traffickers."
The report says information on some of the people cited in it has been crosschecked with other agencies, though it is not clear if Mr. Uribe was among those whose alleged involvement was carefully traced by another agency. It was sent to Washington with a corresponding list of photographs, indicating its possible use for investigative purposes.
"All indications are this is not your run-of-the-mill field report," Mr. Evans said. "I don't think it's a smoking gun. It's a document that the Defense Intelligence Agency had, and they took it seriously enough to forward to Washington with minimal, if any, caveats at the time."

TORONTO, Jan. 16, 2013, 2013 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- Canadians now able to compare car insurance estimates instantly from their smartphone with the Kanetix Car Insurance Quick Quote App Online financial comparison service, Kanetix.ca, announced the launch of the Kanetix Car Insurance Quick Quote app today, which allows Canadians to scan and compare auto insurance quote estimates, all conveniently from their iPhone.
A first in Canada, the free app is available directly from the Apple App Store.

"We're very excited to be offering the first car insurance comparison app in Canada, and hope drivers take advantage of its benefits when looking to compare the cost of insuring different vehicles," said Vice-President of Kanetix.ca, Janine White. "Given the popularity of smartphones in Canada, we [at Kanetix] felt offering an app that helps drivers get instant quote estimates for their car insurance was a logical next step in evolving our customer's experience." To download the free app, visit Kanetix.ca or download directly from the Apple App store by searching "Kanetix" About Kanetix® Launched in October 1999, Kanetix was Canada's first online insurance quotes marketplace and today provides over a million quotes per year to consumers looking for lower insurance rates, as well as comparisons for mortgage rates and credit cards.

Now 'tis true that we don't review nearly as many DVDs as we do books and music CDs as our reviewers are much more interested in them than they are in film, but we have done enough, some five hundred or so as near as we can tell, that a look at the very best we've reviewed is warranted.
It is also true that some of us never go near a movie theatre and actually prefer the pleasures of a DVD seen here as Green Man has a lovely screening room, but the typical cineplex with its bad seating, lousy picture, nauseating popcorn smell, and usually terribly bad sound leaves most of us not desiring to see anything there.
So this fortnightly edition is just DVD reviews, but not solely recent films and series just out on DVD but also some classic films on DVD such as Terry Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and Time Bandits, a nifty imported drama called Rain Shadow which is an Australian series about a vet service in the dry regions of that country, and looks at two series based on the same Canadian mystery series.
I ran across him in a corridor I'd never explored before -- the Library was on one end, but I'd never been down it and had no idea what was on the other. I'd seen him around, usually outside, occasionally in the Pub, a tall, broad-shouldered man with a great fall of fox-red hair barely contained by a silver ring, his movements oddly quick and fluid. He had with him a little wisp of a boy who seemed in constant motion, slipping in and out of sight. He looked at me out of long golden eyes, the kind of eyes that don't tell much, but his smile was friendly enough.
'Well, hello there. I see you've discovered the hallway to the Wood -- what is it, Pix?'
'Might I go hear a story?' The boy was definitely there, quite solid now that I'd drawn close. Huge blue eyes in a thin face were almost pleading.
'Hmm -- very well, I suppose so, but do be careful -- no wandering around. There, there's your favorite story room just over there. Do you have your yarn? Here, tie one end to my wrist and be sure to hold on tightly now. Robin would never forgive me if I misplaced you. There -- all set.'
'Thank you. I promise, I'll sit quietly and listen to the stories.' The beginnings of a pout. 'I wish I got to pick the story, though.'
'Well, maybe we'll figure out a way to do that. Now, run along, and don't get lost -- and stay out of the computer! Tch. I don't know how he does that, but he does, and it sends Robin into a tizzy trying to get him downloaded again -- he's truly fond of the little imp -- and Robin in a tizzy is -- well, the man has a temper, though he's gentle as can be if you treat him right.
'Now, where was I -- oh, right, this hallway. Be very careful if you're inclined to explore at all -- you might want to get your own ball of yarn. It tends to go places you might not expect, particularly near the Border. I'm not sure they're all real to begin with, and it would be the Devil's own job to get you back from some of them. And be especially careful of the Minotaur -- he's more irritable than usual this time of year.
'Hmm? Oh, yes -- it ends at the First Tree, in the center of the Wood. Robin says this is actually a root that became the Library. I don't know where he learns these things, and that's the truth. Iain -- you've met Iain, haven't you? our Librarian? -- Iain says that's outrageous, but Robin's usually right about such as that -- he's very clever, my Robin. He thinks the House just grew here, but that's a bit much even for me to swallow, and he can usually talk me into anything. Although now I think on it, the House does tend to add parts without warning, so maybe... Well.
'Here, look down here a ways and you can see... Ah! Let me go get Pix to give me some slack so I can move around a bit. I'll be right back...'
We, of course, have some best DVDs reviewed by our staff for you to be tempted by. Read on for what they are...
First up is the pick by Camille Alexa -- 'Shhhh!' She holds a finger to her lips and glances furtively up one side of the hall and down the next. 'It's still a secret, since I'm still working on it,' she says, 'but BBC's Life on Mars, the entire first season, would definitely be my favorite DVD pick so far for Green Man Review. I'm still in the middle of it, so the review hasn't come out yet, but advance news is that it's Totally Cool.' She shrugs. 'Other than that, my official answer for best DVD reviewed for GMR would be the same answer I gave for best music reviewed -- Cote d'Azur with Ella Fitzgerald and Joan Miro.'
Donna Bird says Cirque du Soleil's Corteo performance on DVD is her easy pick for the very best DVD reviewed by her -- 'I am sure that a live Cirque du Soleil performance has its own pleasures-but the video also offers clear advantages, such as being able to watch the show multiple times, to stop the action or to replay a favorite scene. All the Cirque du Soleil videos I've seen are very well-executed, making full use of multiple cameras to give the viewer angles and close-ups that would not be available to anyone sitting in a live audience. The Corteo DVD offers some of the best extras I've ever seen in such a package, including interviews with members of the company (both performers and behind-the-scenes folks) and a very nice 'day-in-the-life' piece that follows two of the performers through a typical day in the big tent. We're loaning our copy to a friend, but will surely watch it again when she returns it.'
Denise Dutton says 'I'd have to say my favorite DVD that I've reviewed here is the Jane Eyre the BBC did back in 1973. Though there isn't a special feature to be had, it's a nicely packaged, well-transferred look at a classic that thankfully has yet to be done to death.'
Cat Eldridge picks a concert DVD by the founder of the original WOMAD, the illustrious Peter Gabriel, as his best DVD reviewed by him -- 'Peter,' says the Chief, 'is a man comfortable on the boundaries between folk and rock, between nature and technology, between theater and music -- he thrives on the edges where most artists truly dare not go.' Sounds like he'd fit right in here at GMR, doesn't it? Go on and read the rest of Cat's review of Peter Gabriel - Secret World Live to find out more about this superb DVD.
David Kidney says it was a rough choice for him -- 'The best DVD I've ever reviewed? That's a tough one. I hate answering these questions because every time I choose one... I think of another one or two that I liked equally. While I might have thought that it would be a music film like The Passing Show about Ronnie Lane, (a really touching and informative film) as I look back over the list I think it has to be the Complete Slings & Arrows. This television limited series about life (and death) in a theatre festival environ (not unlike Stratford, ON) was surprising, funny, sad, witty, sexy and beautifully acted by all. It only lasted for three seasons but they got out while the getting was good, and wrapped up all the important plotlines. I appreciate that!'
Mia Nutick, Film Editor, here with our special DVD reviews!
Kage Baker starts us off with a look at two Terry Gilliam films. As Kage says, 'Terry Gilliam will probably go down in history as the only filmmaker dogged by a genuine curse.' Gilliam's struggles to make his films in spite of various catastrophes are well documented -- and to add insult to injury, his films are often underrated by critics and the public alike. But we here at GMR disagree. In fact, we rarely do more than one review of the same material, but The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is such a good film that we made an exception. April Gutierrez originally reviewed it for us here. Now Kage takes a second look at the beloved fantasy. As she says, 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a marvel of unforgettable images and choice performances.'
Kage also reviews another sometimes overlooked Gilliam film, Time Bandits. She raves 'I could natter on for paragraphs and paragraphs about the star turns and unexpected delights in this film, and I still wouldn't manage to do it justice.' Read why in her Excellence in Writing Award winning review.
Next, Donna Bird brings us DVDs with two very different themes and settings. The first, Housewife, 49, is a historical drama 'based on the journals of Nella Last, a British housewife who participated in the Mass Observation Project, a large-scale data collection effort carried out by a non-governmental social research organization that started up in 1937 to document the experiences of ordinary citizens during wartime by asking them to keep and submit regular journal entries.' Donna makes this one sound absolutely fascinating!
Donna's second review covers the first season of an Australian series called Rain Shadow. Donna tells us 'In our house, DVDs come and go pretty fast . . .Rare is the DVD film or TV series that deserves to be kept for future re-viewing. Rain Shadow is one of those exceptions.' Find out why she thinks so in her superb review.
Cat Eldridge is a busy man this week, with three reviews for us. Two of his reviews are of separate treatments based on the same original material! Two different versions of the Murdoch Mysteries, based on the works of novelist Maureen Jennings, captured Cat's attention. Though the versions are very different, Cat likes both. Of the Canadian TV series Murdoch Mysteries, Cat says 'It is certainly one of the best Victorian era mystery series I've seen and that includes the legendary Jeremy Britt Sherlock Holmes series. . .' And he says of the Murdoch Mysteries film series 'this is the really good stuff that rises above mere entertainment -- this is indeed great storytelling.'
Cat switches gears to another mystery series with his review of Agatha Christie's Poirot -- The Movie Collection, Set 4, starring David Suchet as the Belgian detective with the 'little grey cells' that work so well. 'Are they worth seeing? Oh. yes.' Cat tells us why here in his charming review.
April Gutierrez is one of our anime and comic experts, and she brings us reviews this week focusing on her area of expertise. First up is a DVD which 'consists of a one-on-one interview with comic creator Alan Moore, best known for works like From Hell, Watchmen and V for Vendetta.' She found it interesting, but perhaps not for the ordinary fan. Find out why in her review of The Mindscape of Alan Moore.
She also brings us a review of a Korean animated show called Pucca. April finds Pucca: Ninjas Love Noodles and Pucca: Kung Fu Kisses cute, and good for younger fans: 'there's plenty of cartoony violence -- and a lot of silly smooching when Pucca catches Garu -- but nothing beyond that.' Find out more about Pucca in her review.
Turning her attention to another genre, April brings us a review of a good concert DVD as well. She calls Moody Blues: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970 'a perfect time capsule of the band at a high point of their career . . .' and tells us much about the wonderful interviews and concert performance captured on this release. Moody Blues fans should definitely pay attention to April's high opinion of this particular DVD!
Our Assistant Music Editor David Kidney is an expert on good music, so it should be no surprise that two of the reviews that he brings us this week are of concert DVDs. Of the first, David asks 'Miles Davis, the most innovative jazz musician of the 20th Century? Or what? A fraud? Over-rated? Misogynist?' David gives us the details in his review of That's What Happened: Live in Germany 1987, 'essentially a [concert]video that shows what happened one evening in Munich in 1987'.
Pete Seeger is a beloved figure to so many of us, David being no exception. David recalls 'I saw Pete's sloop one day while fishing in the Hudson River in Kingston, NY. He waved from the deck. That was in 1962, the year before the year that this video represents. 1963! That's 46 years ago! I was 12 years old, and I'll never forget Pete waving to us.' Aside from being a friendly sort, Pete Seeger is a legendary musician and activist, and this video taken at a show in Australia in 1963 shows us Seeger's magic. 'If you wonder why the rock glitterati care about a 90 year old banjo player, pop this disc in your player and take a gander at what happens,' David says in his Excellence in Writing Award winning review of Live in Australia.
David brings us a third review of the second season of a 'fish out of water' series about a London doctor transplanted to a small village in Cornwall. Of Doc Martin, Series 2, David says 'It's the stuff of soap opera, and yet it is so real in its portrayal of small town life.' Now, go read his review to find out more about this charming television show!
Finally, Kestrell Rath has an extremely interesting review of a DVD of a master at work. Kestrell tells us 'John Barton co-founded the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) with Peter Hall in 1960, and Barton has been an active director with the RSC ever since. In 1982, Barton, working with such RSC luminaries as Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Judi Dench, and Ben Kingsley, recorded nine workshop sessions for London television. These recordings were aired in 1984 and became the source of his best-selling book, Playing Shakespeare: An Actor's Guide. Now Athena Learning has released the complete recordings of those nine workshops in a set of DVDs entitled Playing Shakespeare.' In her thorough review of this material, Kestrell says that 'Whether you agree with all of Barton's ideas about the plays, or whether you find yourself occasionally, as I did, arguing with Barton's image on the screen, Playing Shakespeare should provide lots for Shakespeare fans to think about.'
We should remind you about our special editions which are our way of looking at specific writers and other subjects worthy of exploring in-depth. Of course, we've done several editions on master storyteller Peter S. Beagle which you can find thisaway and over 'ere. Needless to say, we're very proud of the great edition on Charles de Lint we did.
We did one on the ever fascinating trio of Brian, Toby, and Wendy Froud; naturally we did one on master storyteller J.R.R. Tolkien who is much loved by our staff; not to mention ones on Catherynne M. Valente, Patricia McKillip, and Elizabeth Bear
Oh, our Editor just reminded me that we did (as if I could 'ave forgotten!) an edition devoted to the Year's Best Fantasy & Horror anthology.
We also decided to have our reviewers pick the single best music recording that they reviewed for us. We think you'll find their choices rather interesting!
Lastly, we have put together a recommended series reading list covering many genres from fantasy to mystery and (of course) sf for your reading pleasure. You can find that list thisaway.

IOWA CITY, Iowa- More than 200 University of Iowa students beginning the "move-in" ritual for on campus housing Wednesday will end up packed into overflow areas like converted public lounges. But help is on the way to eliminate the housing overcrowding for the next school year.
Tom Rocklin, VP of Student Life at the U of I, said the need for temporary housing at the start of the school year is pretty much a constant as there are always more requests for dorm space than available rooms.
Last year, about 100 students had to stay in the overflow housing areas — usually converted lounge rooms.
This year, he said the number would probably be in the mid-200's.
Both students and parents say word spreads to make those reservations for residence halls early to avoid becoming one of the unfortunate few.
Ramal Bell, a U of I freshman from Illinois, met one student in overflow housing when he arrived at his dorm.
"I met a kid, eight people have to be in there. It's horrible, the space per person is cut to maybe a quarter of the size," Bell said.
Seka Kaplarevic, a U of I parent also from Illinois, specifically told her soon to register the day the electronic system opened up.
"It's like, probably, summer camp. You're crowded but just don't know for how long," Kaplarevic said.
The discomfort didn't last long last year. Rocklin estimated everybody was out of the overflow situation within a couple of weeks as some students dropped out and others changed housing plans freeing up dorm space.
With more than 200 students in temporary housing, clearing the converted lounges will take longer this year.
But Rocklin noted help is on the way in the form of a $53-million dollar new dorm on the west side of campus.
It's the first new residence hall on campus since the late 1960s. And the project is on track for completion in early 2015 and will add 500 new dorm rooms for the next school year.
Simple math says that may eliminate the overflow issue for next year. But Rocklin notes that as enrollment grows, the on campus housing squeeze will return. So U of I leaders are looking beyond that one fix.
"We're going to the regents in September to ask permission to plan a brand new residence hall to hold 700 to 800 people," Rocklin said. That residence hall project, if approved, might be ready by 2017.
Rocklin called the 200 plus overflow students this school year about average. And it's well below the problems at Iowa State with the overflow number there this year amounting to more than 400 students.

Landfill sites produce the greenhouse gases, methane and carbon dioxide, as putrescible waste decays. Growing plants and trees on top of a landfill, a process known as 'Phytocapping', could reduce the production and release of these gases, according to Australian scientists writing in a forthcoming issue of International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management.
Despite legislative pressures to reduce landfill use, in certain parts of the world it remains the most economical and simplest method of waste disposal.
Biodegradation of organic matter in a landfill site occurs most rapidly when water comes into contact with the buried waste, explains Kartik Venkatraman and Nanjappa Ashwath of the Department of Molecular and Life Sciences, at Central Queensland University (CQU), Rockhampton, Australia. They point out that conventional approaches to reducing this effect involve placing compacted clay over the top of a landfill to form a cap that minimizes percolation of water into the landfill.
Some sites do not attempt to prevent water percolation and biodegradation and instead install gas collection systems to trap the methane released.
The use of clay capping has generally proved ineffective in trials in the USA, the researchers say. The problem being that in arid regions the clay cap dries out and cracks allowing water to easily percolate into the landfill. Equally problematic, methane gas collection is an inordinately expensive option for many Australian landfills that do not reach the methane production threshold to enable efficiency.
Hence, a new technique, known as phytocapping, which involves placing a layer of top soil and growing dense vegetation on top of a landfill, was successfully trailed at Rockhampton's Lakes Creek Landfill not far from Central Queensland University. This research was conducted by Kartik Venkatraman and Nanjappa Ashwath (CQU) in conjunction with the Rockhampton Regional Cou

Simply charge the banquet cart for an hour, load your meals, and then go!
The first Carter-Hoffman banquet carts designed to hold and deliver "kitchen fresh" meals were manufactured a half a century ago - and the rest of the industry has yet to catch up! No other banquet carts, even today, offer as many features designed to serve better food at such a low cost. Virtually all the world's leading chefs and food service directors continue to rely upon Cater-Hoffman to give their banquet operations a competitive edge! Doesn't it make sense to give your banquet service the same advantages?Operators use canned fuel in banquet carts despite the fact that they were never designed to handle it. As a result, they've put up with as much as a 33% loss in capacity with a bottom shelf too hot to use. And they've served dished too hot or too cold because interior circulation with canned fuel is inherently uneven. No more! This EquaHeat banquet cart from Carter-Hoffman overcomes both problems. This innovative cart provides equal heat and storage capacity, using either electric power or canned fuel. When using electric power, this banquet cart has a high performance, removable heater blower system that gives performs with fast heat up, recovery, and even heat distribution throughout the cabinet. The heater is even removable without tools!Unplug your banquet service without the expense, hassle, and risk of open flame with EquaHeat Banquet Carts. Until now, extended holding in banquet carts required one of two methods: a continuous electrical supply to operate the heater OR canned heat. Carter-Hoffmann's EquaHeat Banquet Carts eliminate these limitations with an exclusive heat retention system. Just charge the system for an hour, load your meals, and then go! The heating system allows you to unplug your banquets and take them anywhere, without the need for electricity or canned heat. There's no expensive fuel to buy, no fire hazard, no scorched food or plates, no time spent placing and lighting cans and no fumes to affect food flavor. Meals will stay at serving temperatures for up to two hours.This banquet cart's cabinet is constructed of double-wall stainless steel, the strongest, most durable material for long life. This banquet cart has high density, 1" thick fiberglass insulation in the walls and door, with 1-1/2" thick insulation on top for maximum heat retention. The heavy duty stainless steel base frame has 12 gauge caster bolsters with a perimeter frame for rugged use and added durability. The pre-plated food carrier has completely welded, turned-in seam construction that adds rigidity to the entire cabinet and eliminates raw edges for ease of cleaning and safety. This food delivery cabinet features a wrap-around aluminum bumper with a non-marking gray vinyl insert. This bumper protects the cart and facility walls from damage.The removable wire shelves are welded, nickel-plated with reinforced shelf clips. The shelves are sturdy for heavy plate loads and removable for cleaning.

Stone Revisits the Patriot Act
A little more than a month after Sept 11, 2001, Congress enacted a complex piece of emergency legislation with more than 150 sections designed to grant new powers to federal officials to enable them to protect the security of the United States.
The act was hastily drafted by the Department of Justice and presented to Congress and the nation by Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft as vital to the nation's safety. The Bush administration voiced barely veiled threats that anyone who questioned the legislation was unpatriotic and would be accused of aiding the terrorists. Even the name of the act was intended to send that intimidating message. Not surprising, the act sailed through Congress with no hearings, no debate, no deliberation and almost no opposition.
In this emotionally charged atmosphere, it was inevitable that the act would sacrifice civil liberties. Aware of this danger, Congress included a sunset provision for the most controversial sections of the act, ensuring that they would automatically expire on Dec. 31, 2005, unless Congress re-enacted them. The sunset provision was added in the hope that it would protect us from repeating the mistakes of the past, for throughout our history we have had a consistent pattern of overreacting to the fears and anxieties of wartime and excessively restricting civil liberties in the name of national security.
Against this background, and in light of the mood surrounding the passage of the USA Patriot Act, it was predictable that in at least some of its particulars the act would reach too far. Although the Patriot Act is a far cry from the worst excesses of our past, and although most of its provisions are defensible, it is implausible to believe that any law enacted in such circumstances would be perfect.
4 years later
4 years later
Yet here we are, four years later, as the sunset provision is about to kick in, and President Bush insists that the act must be re-enacted lock, stock and barrel. According to the president, not a single provision, not a single clause, not a single word of the Patriot Act went too far in its limitation of civil liberties. Unlike John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, Bush apparently believes he is infallible in his ability to strike the right balance between national security and individual freedom.
Against this claim of perfection, consider Section 215 of the act, which authorizes executive branch officials to demand records from businesses and other institutions and organizations without any show of probable cause. This includes not only business records, but personal medical records, bank records, educational records, and library and bookstore records.
At first blush you might think this would violate the 4th Amendment, which prohibits "unreasonable searches and seizures" and ordinarily requires a showing of probable cause. But the Supreme Court has held that the 4th Amendment applies only when the government intrudes upon an individual's "reasonable expectations of privacy." For example, suppose you walk down the street and a police officer follows you to observe your behavior. Is this a "search"? The court has held that it is not, because you have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" when you voluntarily expose things to the public. In this example, that conclusion makes sense.
What privacy?
What privacy?
But suppose now that the government wants to seize and examine your financial records from your bank. Surely, you have a "reasonable expectation of privacy" in your personal finances. Guess again. Because you voluntarily disclose your financial dealings to complete strangers--the bank's employees--you have no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in those records, and the government can scrutinize them without showing that you have done anything wrong.
It gets worse. When library and bookstore records are involved, you would seem to have not only a privacy interest, but also a 1st Amendment interest in shielding your choice of reading material from the eyes of prying government officials. Surely, government officials cannot track what books you read without any show of justification. Just think of the implications. If FBI agents can create a file on you merely because you buy a book on, say, the history of terrorism, and this file may turn up sometime in the future when you apply for a government job, you will think twice before making such a purchase. But under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, this is precisely what federal officials are authorized to do.
Perhaps in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11 it seemed necessary to grant this power to federal officials. Terrorists do use libraries and buy books. But now it is four years later, and how does the Bush administration argue for re-enactment of this authority? It says it hasn't used Section 215 to obtain library or bookstore records. That is certainly comforting. But if the government hasn't needed this power even once in the past four years, how is it essential to the national security? With this in mind, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in June to limit Section 215 in its application to libraries and bookstores. Even many Republicans supported this legislation. But Bush has announced that he will veto any effort to limit any of the provisions of the Patriot Act, and this one in particular.
Whether the application of Section 215 to libraries and bookstores violates the Constitution is not the issue. Reasonable minds can differ on this. But the Constitution provides only the minimum protection of individual liberty in our society. For the most part, we rely on common sense, a commitment to traditional American values, and a decent respect for the fundamental freedoms of the American people to protect our liberty. We deserve better than a thoughtless insistence that whatever was enacted in the throes of Sept. 11 must be forever written into law. That much we should know from some of the sorrier chapters of our own history.

iOS apps not working after update
I can't see my info on either iPhone or iPad (both running ios7, latest update). I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling on both platforms. It usually comes up with "Expected status code in (200-299), got 504" message. If I hit "OK" and try it again, it takes FOREVER to log in, and then when it finally goes through, it shows me as logged in, but that I have no tasks or projects at all. I've even tried shutting the iPad completely off and starting the process all over again. The online (Chrome) version shows all of my tasks/projects. Help?
All responses
Hi Rozanne,
We are sorry for the trouble. We are having server issues right now due to all the new users, and we hope to resolve it soon.
Thanks for the quick reply! I'll try again later. Glad to know it isn't something I'm doing wrong from this end:)

THE DIRTY ARMY: Nik, so Katherine Webb finally dumped her boyfriend. It is sad but we all saw it coming. A girl can only remain faithful and happy to a guy when she is not famous. All the fame got to her head and she thinks she is better than AJ. There is all these rich trouts going after her, promising her a life of wealthy and happiness… at the end, she will be a single 40 year old hooker and wishing she never dumped AJ.
I'm ok with this break up. Besides that fact she is a DreamKiller, she looks older than AJ. Look at her face compared to his… I don't see 3rd string youth, I see handbag mileage.- nik

Grand opening
Goffstown Cumberland Farms store opens, helps charity
GOFFSTOWN — It wasn't your typical grand opening at Cumberland Farms on Mast Road Tuesday, as the store and gas station joined forces with nonprofit youth organization Crispin's House for a grand opening fundraiser.
From now until Aug. 27, Cumberland Farms will donate 20 cents from the sale of each coffee, iced coffee and tea, as well as its "Chill Zone" beverages to Crispin's House to support drug, alcohol and suicide-prevention programs.
"We have had a hard time with funding due to large cuts in funding to prevention programs by the state two years ago," said Kristie Garrison, executive director of Crispin's House.
While similar programs have been forced to shut down, Garrison said the dedication of Crispin's House's board of directors has kept it going, in part by finding other funding sources.
Bob Jenness, region manager for Cumberland Farms, said the company is looking to return to the company's roots of family values and traditions.
Previously, customers stopping for gas would come in and buy cigarettes, but Jenness said as tobacco sales decrease, the focus has moved toward providing fresh food, coffee and other beverages.
"We really like the concept of one-stop shopping," said area manager Cindy Gagnon.
Jenness said that while the company often makes large donations to national organizations, supporting smaller, not-for-profits such as Crispin's House is also a priority.
"This is something we can do in our local network," he said.
The minimum donation from Cumberland Farms for Crispin's House will be $1,000 and will increase based on what local customers buy.
"It's really hard to tell what this will bring in, because it depends on what's sold," Garrison said, "but this will definitely help us serve more youth."

Any woman who has more than one child can tell you how different each child is from birth. You are born with your personality intact. The Color Code is based on your natural, innate personality type. Of course, people may change over time, but your Core Color will always remain the same.
Sometimes it is difficult to choose from the four options given, but there is usually one that fits better than the rest, or at least one that you could see yourself as more so than the others. If you're still unsure, try asking someone who knows you well, such as a parent or sibling. They can give clarity on areas of your personality that you may not notice.

PORT ANGELES, Wash. (AP) — The largest run of Chinook salmon in decades returned to the Elwha River this fall, according to officials with the Olympic National Park.
Fish are streaming into stretches of the Elwha River and its tributaries that were formerly blocked by the Elwha Dam, park officials said Friday on its website.
The Elwha Dam, one of two dams on the river, stood for nearly a century before it came down in 2012.
Removal of the remaining 210-foot tall Glines Canyon Dam resumed last month after nearly a year hold to give officials time to fix problems at new water-treatment facilities built as part of the $325 million river restoration project.
Results from the survey indicate this year's Chinook return is one of the strongest since 1992, according to park officials.
Dam removal is scheduled to be complete in 2014.
