Class of '38 based on 0 ratings. 2 reviews.
Naxos has in the past few months released a number of excellent samplers of alternative classical music, all loosely based around a more or less unifying theme. Their latest offering in this vein is this collection of pieces written by eight composers who were born in 1938, which, on the musical evidence here, can be considered something of an annis mirabilis in 20th century music. Despite their shared chronological beginnings, these composers are as different from one another as night is to day. All the selections are, in a word, stunning, including the brilliantly sustained dissonance of Gloria Coates' Symphony #15 (Third Movement), the chilly lyricism of John Harbison' s Piano Trio #1, and the mind-bending trance music that is Frederic Rzewski' s Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues. The icing on the cake is a bonus disc of interviews with all of the featured composers save two, in which they talk about their influences and the development of their individual styles. Their informative comments help contextualize the music and provide intriguing insights into the creative process.
The eight composers on this compilation were all born in 1938, and then went in every direction away from each other. This overview is actually a great jumping-in point for learning the range and bold moves of modern experimental classical music. Gloria Coates' " Symph. 15 III What Are Stars?" has the stately frame of an urban anthem, with simple majesterial horns and tumbling drums, but the strings fidget frequencies like an atonal hive underneath. John Corigliano's " A Black November Turkey" springs out spritely on its way before worrying itself into a tentative uncertainty, then finally jumping back onto the path determined. Jose Serebrier's " Fantasia (For Strings)" is one of his seminal works, a darkly lush rumination that is at times romantic and desperate. Frederic Rzewski's " Four North American Ballads: No. 4 Cotton Mill Blues" rises and falls in modal piano variations that recall a train crossing different landscapes, including deconstructed barrelhouse blues passages. John Harbison's " Trio (1968)" spins dissonant viola, violin, and piano in circles, at times sparring and others wounded. Joan Tower's " Tambor" is rhythmic and declarative, like a reconsidered Copland, before moving into atmospheric interludes over soft vibes and dappling strings, always swooping and evocative. William Bolcom's " Cello Sonata II Adagio Semplice" is a night fever of serpentine piano and cello, sometimes relaxing into bittersweet beauty. Charles Wuorinen's " Josquiniana" builds in serial swells that are akin to a medieval folk melody, courtly and yet pastoral. There's also a second disc included with intervies of six of the composers to round out the education. A choice primer all around.

One of Europe's best kept holiday secrets is Huelva's Costa de la Luz, the western end of the famous Andalucian Coast, sometimes known as "the Spanish Algarve". For centuries the traditional crossing point between the Algarve and Portugal, the miles of beautiful, clean beaches have long been the popular holiday destination for the people from Seville, Madrid and other parts of Spain, but remain virtually unknown to the rest of Europe.
Here you will still find authentic Spanish towns, villages and fishing ports, a wide variety of traditional cuisine (every restaurant will tell you that they invented tapas), stunning scenery and a multitude of activities, including sports such as golf, bowls, sailing and kitesurfing. It is an area rich in history, and maintains the vibrant cultural traditions that have defined the area for so long.
Andalucia Rentals concentrates mainly around the typically Spanish port of Ayamonte, at the mouth of the river Guadiana, the gateway to Portugal and the Algarve. A new and attractively engineered bridge over the river Guadiana has joined the Algarve and Spanish motorway systems, making this area a great location for travellers wanting to explore along the coast to Huelva, Doñana, Seville, and even into Portugal.
The aim of this website is to introduce this hidden gem, showing you the myriad of opportunities the region can offer you. We will also help find the right property for you and, most importantly, to give the information you need to make the most of your stay. Once you have travelled to the region, we're sure you will fall in love with it as we have.

Violet said to me this morning: "Mama, close your eyes. Now open your mouth."
HA! As if!
"What will she put in there?" my dad wondered.
God only knows, Dad. God only knows.
The big present-tacular with Vi was fun. She opened up like two gifts — a magnetic dress-up doll and a play baking set — before she lost interest, instead playing with bits of ribbon and tinsel. She liked helping everyone open up their gifts though, pulling off one tiny micro-piece of paper at a time. As soon as she got the paper off she'd walk away. It's all about the opening-up for her.
She has also been enjoying Susan's (my stepmom) decorating efforts. Of particular interest is the Christmas tree. Susan would prefer that Violet touch it with one finger only, as she keeps telling her. Yeaaaah….good luck with that one. Practically every time I walk in the room Violet is molesting the tree. She particularly likes this little wooden birdhouse ornament.
Now, I guess you could do a Christmas tree with a two-year-old two ways. You could make sure everything hanging at her grab-level is sturdy. Or you could hang tempting little things like tiny glittering glass snowmen or miniature birdhouses right where she can get them, and hope that you're able to keep her from touching. We're doing the latter, but I think that birdhouse may not be long for this world.
Vi is also fascinated by a window decoration Susan put up, it's bunches of silk holly with little bird nests in them, each containing a fake feathered cardinal. Oh man. If I had a dollar for every time Vi picked up a cardinal, I would have enough for lunch with appetizers and dessert. The first day we got here, she pulled a bunch of the fake berries right off a plastic branch.
"Ooh," winced my dad. "You messed up those berries!" He rumpled her hair. "Just don't tell Mimi."
I could have told him that's precisely the wrong approach with her. The minute Susan walked back in the room, Vi ambled over and said "SHHHH! Don't tell Mimi I took the berries!" in her singsong I've-been-naughty voice. Yep. That's Violet for you. Whenever you tell her not to do something, she is instantly hell-bent on doing it.
I demonstrated for Dad:
"Violet, no kisses. I hate your kisses, do not give them to me."
Grinning, she walks over and lays a big smooch on me.
"Gross! Eeeew, gross!" I wipe it off my face. "No more, please. No kisses." She showers me in kisses.
The only time this doesn't work is at dinnertime. No force in the world will convince this child to eat brussels sprouts, even if I did saute them in garlic and pine nuts. Nope. No sprouts. Nothing green shall enter her mouth.
I tried the reverse psychology approach earlier this week when we went to have a picture taken of Vi in a portrait studio. I tried to take it light and easy all morning. Vi doesn't want to wear the tights, shirt and jacket I painstakingly picked out for her? No problem…what is it you want to wear, sweetie? Whatever you want. No, don't let me comb your hair. I don't wanna. Well, OK, if you're standing here handing me the comb, I guess I'll comb you out. Now do NOT get into your carseat! Oh, OK, I'll buckle you up.
But as soon as we got into the studio, Vi started shrieking like a banshee and wouldn't sit. "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!" The studio was full of other little kids on the verge of hysteria; I could feel Violet's rage spreading in waves. I knew all the other parents were silently cursing us.
"Honey, I'll give you an ice cream when you're done!" I promised sweatily. "Here's a candy!" I tried to give her a Necco wafer. She wasn't buying it.
"Oh my God, kids suck," I told the poor photographer. She was tickling Violet with a big powder puff and holding up teddy bears, to no avail.
"I know," she said solemnly. "I never forget to take my birth control pill."
Eventually, with Phil sitting on the edge of the picture-stool, holding Vi firmly with one hand, we got her to sit for the fraction of a millisecond it took to snap her photo. She even sort of looks like she is smiling, if you didn't know she was about to open up into a scream. The photographer even cropped the photo and blurred the edges so you can't really see Phil's hand holding her down. But I will know it is there! Violet, when you are a teenager and really want to do something and I say no, you will know that the reason I am smiling is that I remember taking your picture when you were two.
Things to do when you have a night away from the kid
1) Eat the spiciest, least kid-friendly foods possible, in perfect silence
2) Have a cocktail with every meal
3) Go to a museum full of historical artifacts with long, detailed plaques on them
4) Go see a movie so disgustingly violent and scary that it gives you terrible nightmares, at a movie theater that lets you drink beer
5) Take a very long walk at a brisk pace
6) Go into antique shops with tiny breakable objects perched on every surface
7) Eat breakfast and then go right back to bed
Yay, we did everything on my list! Violet was so good for Dad and Susan too. She didn't scream when we left, see ya, there's your kiss, and when we got back it was, hey mom and dad, kiss kiss, good to see you. No freaking out on either end. Apparently they baked cookies while we were gone, oatmeal and sugar, and lay in bed and read the comics, and Violet slept in Granddaddy's big bed and woke up him at 5:30 in the morning by smacking him in the face. Yeah, that sounds about right.

The Sun Will Come Out Card by Niki Estes
Moxie Fab Alert: Striking color scheme, creative use of ribbon to create the sun's rays, and excellent pairing of the clouds to enhance the sentiment!
Hello Card by Kim Hughes
Moxie Fab Alert: What I love most about this card is the color balance it achieves. Kim has taken the colors in the stripes and applied them to her cutie-pie bird. The hounds tooth contrast makes the card feel traditional, while the polka dot ribbon is a surprising touch that geniously ties all the elements together. Bravo, Kim! Bravo!
Follow Your Own Star Card by Latisha Yoast
Moxie Fab Alert: I moxie love the contrasting colors of red and yellow in this card. And while there's a lot of pattern going on, this card has a fun, patchworky feel that is grounded by the neutral ribbon. My favorite part? The sentiment. I love how she's stamped "follow your own" in black while popping the most important word of the phrase, "star," in red. Moxilicious!
Isn't this just a hodge podge of wonderful card inspiration today, friends? Leave these talented gals a comment telling them what you love about their cards by midnight on Sunday, September 6 MDT and I'll draw a lucky winner to receive a hodge podge of moxie fab product!

Young children, whose brains are developing rapidly, need stimulating experiences and parental engagement in order to arrive at kindergarten ready to learn.
After Hours Programs
Habitot's after hours programs, "Parents and Children Together," was created to ensure the Museum truly serves the needs of the diverse community of Bay Area families raising young children. Helping all parents assume their role as their child's first teacher can have a significant positive impact on their children's school readiness.
Agency Partnerships
Formal partnerships with fourteen social service agencies and nonprofits help Habitot reach the most vulnerable young children and families. Free, exclusive visit times on weekday afternoons, when the Museum is otherwise closed to the public, have benefited over 8,000 at-risk parents and children over the last seven years.
The family engagement sessions are currently organized for teen parents, special needs children and their families, homeless families and recently released prisoners and their families. Sessions are supported, in part by generous grants from the Sam Mazza Foundation and the Lowell Berry Foundation
Currently partnering agencies include CalSafe - Hayward/Fruitvale and the Vera Casey Collaborative in Berkeley which bring pregnant and parenting teens to Habitot for play and bonding time with their children. Parenting support, as well as distributions of books, clothing and art supplies, help teens become more successful. Teen Times
Currently partnering homeless shelters include the Berkeley Food and Housing Project, the Women's Daytime Drop-in Center, and the "Winter Nights" program of the Interfaith Council of Contra Costa County. Families enjoy exclusive time at Habitot to reconnect and play with their children. At Home at Habitot
Habitot partners with many agencies serving children with special needs and their families to give these children time and space to acclimate to the Museum, and receive adaptive support in using the exhibits. In December 2011, Habitot hosted a special holiday celebration for families that almost 100 attended. This program is currently funded by Western Digital Foundation. In addition, since December 2011 Habitot has hosted three events open to the entire community of Bay Area families of children with special needs. Special Times for Special Families
Habitot is partnering with Centerforce, a California-based incarcerated support nonprofit, on a family reintegration project for recently released mothers and their children. Together Again
Child Welfare Families
In 2013, Habitot received funding from First 5 Alameda County to build an on-going partnership with Alameda County Department of Children and Family Services to serve families in the child welfare system with children under 5. Specifically, a 2013-2015 grant will support free Museum access and support programs for families working towards reunification, foster care families, children who have been adopted by foster care families, families on maintenance, and families who have successfully reunified.

How to Relieve Bloating With Food
When you feel bloated, it is easy to see food as the culprit rather than the cure. Most advice also tells you what to avoid. However, it is possible to reduce bloating by using helpful foods that can reduce the gassiness and full feeling, as much as knowing which foods to avoid. This article provides some basics.
1Try fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple contains bromelain and this is a digestion-promoting enzyme.[1]
2Try fresh papaya. This contains papain, a digestive enzyme similar in function to bromelain, great for breaking down food and digesting proteins.
3Munch on celery. Celery helps to relieve fluid retention because it is a diuretic. Try a handful each day until your bloating is under better control.[2]
4Choose asparagus. Asparagus encourages the growth of friendly gut bacteria. Friendly bacteria work to reduce the build-up of stomach gas.
5Add yogurt to your daily diet. Yogurt brings helpful bacteria to your gut.
6Season your food with freshly ground black pepper. Black pepper aids digestion and massaging the essential oil of black pepper on your stomach region can also help.
7Drink peppermint tea. Peppermint tea aids digesting by helping food pass through the stomach quickly. It also calms flatulence. Either pre-packaged peppermint tea in bags or fresh mint leaves will work.[3]
8Watch out for allergies. Sometimes you are taking the right amount of food but you still feel bloated, it is the time for you to think about allergies. Rule out such food and avoid taking them. Allergies are subjective. The foods advised here may not be beneficial for you if you are allergic to them.
Community Q&A
- Eating 2-3 teaspoons of peanut butter can help you not be to hungry, and fill you up on the good proteins and carbs you need.
- Take probiotics to help relieve bloating.
- Chamomile tea is also thought to aid digestion.
- Digestive bitters might help also.
- Essential oils are potent and should never be used 'neat'. To make a massage oil with black pepper essential oil, add one drop of the essential oil to a tablespoon of olive (extra virgin is best), coconut, almond or other carrier oil. Too much of this essential oil can irritate the skin. Avoid if pregnant.
Things You'll Need
- Anti-bloating foods
- Peppermint tea

The protective, weatherproof wrap that's covered the Colorado state Capitol dome for nearly two years is starting to come off.
Construction crews will begin removing the top portion Thursday morning, revealing the newly gilded dome. The process will take a couple of days and will be followed by the removal of scaffolding that has also covered the dome. It will take about six weeks for the scaffolding to be disassembled to the base of the dome.
Restoration of the dome became necessary after Colorado's intense freeze-thaw cycle caused the exterior metal surfaces to deteriorate over the past 100 years.
Other restoration work is ongoing and the dome won't be open to the public until summer 2014.

Coconut butter is a densely nutritious spread made from whole, raw coconut flesh and is loaded with medium-chain fatty acid-rich oil, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals. I've been using it as a spread on toast in stead of peanut butter or almond butter.
A reader and I recently had a conversation on the best way to make coconut butter. We love brands like Artisana and Tropical Traditions but knew there just had to be a way to make it from scratch. So off to the kitchen I went.
I blitzed shredded coconut in a food processor.
No go. Not smooth enough.
I tried a mini batch in my coffee grinder.
No good. It made some pretty nice coconut meal though.
I thought about ordering a Blendtec Twister Jar for my Blendtec, but that meant forking out a wad of money.
Finally I landed on a technique that worked!
This stuff is unbelievably easy to make in a high-powered blender such as a Blendtec, OmniBlend or Vitamix. You can sweeten it, add some cocoa powder, or leave it as is. This recipe yields a coconut butter that remains spreadable at room temperature.
Coconut Butter
Gluten-Free | Casein-Free | Citrus-Free | Corn-Free | Dairy-Free | Egg-Free | Fish-Free | Nightshade-Free | Peanut-Free | Potato-Free | Rice-Free |Shellfish-Free | Soy-Free | Tree Nut-Free (exception of coconut) | Wheat-Free | Grain-Free | Sesame-Free | Sweetener-Free | Yeast-free | GFCF | Vegetarian | Vegan | Raw | Paleo
Makes: 2-1/4 cup
Prep Time: 4 minutes
5 cups shredded COCONUT, unsweetened (not reduced fat or fat free)
1/3 cup COCONUT OIL, liquefied
- Add 3 cups coconut and oil to high-powered blender.
- Blend on high until smooth, scraping sides as needed.
- Add another cup of flakes and blend until smooth.
- Add final cup of flakes and blend on high until super smooth, 1-2 minutes.
- The mixture will be runny. Pour into airtight container and transfer to fridge to firm up.
- Store at room temperature or in fridge.
How to Use Coconut Butter
This week I turned to my dear Lexie's Kitchen Facebook followers for ideas on how they use coconut butter. Here's what they said:
Deanna: Oh man a million things. I love coconut butter cookies (recipe here)
Suzanne: I mix it with cocoa powder and put it on coconut milk ice cream or banana soft serve. I also love it on sweet potatoes.
Maggie: I'm dreaming of a frosting that's made of coconut butter...
Rachel: Whipped with some maple syrup, vanilla, and a little extra coconut oil makes a really good frosting! I also use about a tablespoon blended into about one cup water as the "coconut milk" in my smoothies.
Deanna: I do what Rachel does, too - sub it with some warm water for coconut milk (in a pinch). I also ALWAYS make it from scratch. I've never bought it already made.
Monique: It's great to thicken up Thai curries :)
Alta: I eat it with a spoon. I've also used it in cookies (like a thin nut butter) and while making a "frosting" for cinnamon and orange-cranberry rolls. But honestly, eating it with a spoon is best.
Jenn: Brown rice krispy treats. Use the coconut butter instead of marshmallow.
Leanne: Frosting for cupcakes!
Kelly: I just mix coconut butter, cocoa and date paste together for a sweet paleo treat...not exactly a recipe but it hits the spot.
Audrey: As part of the ingredients in opera fudge (white).
And Love it Too: I have used mine in sweet potato mash, on top of shrimp (when my shellfish allergic child was away at scout camp), and in place of butter on grain-free pancakes and waffles.
As for me, coconut butter gives these crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside maple macaroons a double dose of coconut goodness.
Thanks for all the great ideas!

In 1957, Maderans had cause to stop and take stock. Fifty years earlier, in March 1907, the town became the only incorporated city in the county. That event set Madera on a course that would lead its citizens away from their pioneer traditions toward modernity.
At that time the Madera Mercury, looking forward, advised its readers that, "The old-time warmth, energy and ingenuity will be needed during the coming half century to continue the fulfillment of a prediction made after the successful election for incorporation. All of the good things promised for Madera will not be done at once, but they will come in time…and little by little, improvements will come that will mean much for the moral and physical welfare of the city.
Well here we are, and that "coming half-century" to which the Mercury alluded, has come and gone. As to whether that "old-time warmth, energy, and ingenuity still exist in Madera is probably debatable, but one thing is certain: there was a time when it was alive and well.
This week "Pieces of the Past" will continue to eavesdrop on Maderans, as some of them, in 1957, looked back on their past.
"Drummers used to say that this is the liveliest town on the road," remembered Hermann Glas, one of Madera's first constables.
Mrs. Will Curtin, a native of Fresno County, recalled that every child growing up with the town "had a wonderful time."
"Everyone worked together and was sociable and nice, Glas explained. "We just used to do things to make people come to town."
"The merchants donated, and the community worked together to throw festivals. Waiting for the Fourth of July to come 'round was almost unbearable for the kids."
"There were weekly dances in halls and sometimes on Yosemite Avenue. Minstrel shows, theatrical troupes, medicine men and carnivals came through."
"Small but active clubs and lodges held social functions in the town's leading hotels, with the Southern on North B Street and Yosemite Avenue a favorite. There were parties in the homes for families and friends or perhaps just buggy rides and strolls through town."
George Kenney especially remembered the jackrabbit drives when the whole town turned out and finished the day with a barbecue.
"The sporting crowd raced dogs after the rabbits in the fields now covered with homes, attended boxing matches, bet on horse races held at a track near the present Cleveland Avenue, north of the river, played roller hockey and had "darn good" baseball trams."
"Within a few years after the incorporation of Madera, rodeos were held along the east side of the railroad tracks between Yosemite Avenue and Sixth Street, and community band concerts were presented near there. At that time, with no highway, the courthouse park extended to the railroad tracks."
"Then there was always Chinatown with its strange, noisy festivals, topped by firecracker-celebrated New Years and its dice games that children sometimes wandered through to be treated kindly and given a handful of candy."
Glas recalled that once "everyone chipped in to send a Spanish speaking local resident to Mexico for a matador and built fences and grandstands for an arena beside the railroad tracks on North E Street. The town then produced bullfights for a week."
"Working through the Chamber of Commerce, organized in 1905, the citizens gave time, money and effort to make their town grow and prosper. Nello Barsotti, an early-day and long-time manager of the chamber, recalled the time Maderans pledged $150,000 to entice the Sugar Pine Company (not to be confused with the Madera Sugar Pine Company) to locate its mill here and $4,000 to promote the "Sea to Yosemite" road through the town."
"Both of these projects failed. The mill went to Pinedale and was responsible for the development of the community there. State legislators from Merced County defeated the Yosemite Highway bill."
"Other efforts, however, were successful and provided visible landmarks of progress today. The long-awaited Friant Dam, the Madera-Yosemite sign at Yosemite Avenue and F Streets, and the highway bridge were all community-supported chamber projects. These things were done because the townspeople had only themselves to depend upon for prosperity and entertainment."
"With the development of rapid transportation, closure of the mills, and other changes and modernization, the town grew in one sense and disintegrated in another. The new faces and different ways and means of living have made the City of Madera, at age 50, less closely bound together and occupied with more varied and scattered activities."
"But although the minstrel shows and buggy rides have been replaced by other things, the gracious hotels and Chinatown have disappeared, and many needs filled, the spirit of those years can never be outdated."
And that was the view half a century ago. One has to wonder what they would think today.

Jillian Longo practices her skating moves at this rink. It's hard work, but afterward she rewards herself with steaming hot cups of cocoa.
Of course, you don't have to be a kid or even a talented ice skater to love hot cocoa.
Consumer Reports tested cocoas from names like Ghirardelli and Godiva to classics like Hershey's and Swiss Miss and even an organic one from Dagoba.
To test, Consumer Reports served up cocoa to its trained panelists.
Amy Keating with Consumer Reports says, "We looked at nutrition and calories. But really, if you're having it as a special treat, you'll want it to be full bodied and have a high-quality chocolate flavor, and this may mean more calories."
Stephen's Dark Chocolate Cocoa was the lowest rated - not exactly what you'd call a treat.
Amy explains, "It was thin and grayish and it had an artificial chocolate flavor."
But testers did find several that will curb a cocoa craving.
The best by far - Godiva's Dark Chocolate Hot Cocoa.
Amy found, "It was full and flavorful, with an intense cocoa and chocolate flavor. It had roasted notes and even a slight vanilla note."
Also very good and a bit less expensive - Hershey's Favorite Hot Cocoa Recipe, which has a mild chocolate and slight vanilla and malt flavors. Or Swiss Miss Dark Chocolate Sensation Cocoa - for those who prefer a darker chocolate flavor.
Also worth a try - the Ghirardelli Cocoa and the Dagoba Organic Hot Cocoa. Both rated very good in Consumer Reports' taste tests.

This publishing problem has been fixed. I just wanted to follow up and make sure that you have been able to publish since then.
Next time you have a tech support question, please write on the support boards instead :)
Best Regards,
Esther / MyHeritage Team
I was doing a across the board search for my dad in research. The software was searching the files and had about 84 items on the screen when all of a sudden I received a virus waring.
I paniced and tried to get out of the program in order to run a virus scan. I was directed to the home page of my AVG which is my paid computer protection package.
Has anyone else had this problem? I don't know if I managed to fix it for my computer has been giving me the message that I'm offline when I know I should be online.
It just happened again while I was ltrying to send this message.
Where do I go to be able to see the notes of individuals from Family Tree Builder on the website? Or maybe you can't. If so, will we ever be able to see notes on the website?
It's pretty dumb the way they have it designed, but you can see notes on people in the tree. Click on "Family Tree," (you don't have to wait for it to load) then click on the "People" tab, find and select the person. Then if there are notes you will see, among other things, a link for "Notes & Sources."
It would be so much better if they would have that link in the info that comes up when you click on someone in the Family Tree screen, but they apparently can't figure that out.
When publishing online, and giving membership access as a guest to other people, can I set some sort of 'privacy' on e.g. everyone who is not an adult? If not, what sort of privacy options are there and how can I access them?
The privacy settings allows you to control access to your family site.
First it is important to understand what kind of audience may visit your family site.
There are three possible types of users for any family site. The first is the webmaster/creator, which is the person who created the family site or another member promoted by the original webmaster to webmaster status. The Webmaster has the most privileges. Second are Site Members – these are family members and friends that have been invited to the Family Site, typically with lower privileges but still able to contribute content to the family site. The third are guests, i.e., the general public; guests are not allowed to add content and are usually limited too with respect to the content they are allowed to see.
You can change your family site's privacy settings at any time, by following the procedure below:
First, log into your family site. Look under the main tabs of your family site and click on Administration > Privacy.
Pick the privacy setting for your site that best suits your preference, among the following options:
1) Mixed Site – A few sections in your site will be open to guests, but private information will be restricted to members and webmasters only. This is the default and most popular option. Living individuals will be masked as "Private" in the Family Tree when viewed by guests, to protect the privacy of your family.
2) Public Site – Allows everyone to view all sections of the Family Site, including the Family Tree. For your protection, living individuals will still be masked as "Private" in the Family Tree, for guests.
3) Private Site – The Family Site and Family Tree are will be accessible only to site members and webmasters. Guests are not allowed.
Click Save to finalize your choice. You can change the privacy setting at any time later.
Best Regards,
Esther / MyHeritage team

Any help on how to start looking would be appreciated.
Hi Dawn....have you any dates or places of birth?
Am willing to help but need a bit more info
I currently have Two trees in my genealogy.
However, some persons (closed family) appear twice in both trees.
Is there a way to only have one person but listed twice in the trees ? It would ease the management of details, photos and such...
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Eric Bana's 'Troy' ordeal'Troy' star Eric Bana almost missed out on the role of heroic warrior Hector in the movie - because he wasn't famous enough.
Despite starring in last year's blockbuster film 'The Hulk', studio bosses tried to persuade director Wolfgang Petersen to cast a bigger name to star alongside Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom in the historical epic.
But the handsome Australian actor's devotion to his family helped him win the role.
Peterson revealed to Britain's The Independent newspaper: "When he talked of the nobility of Hector and his love for the family, and how he loves his family and never travels without them, I thought it was Hector straight away."
However, Bana, 36, who played charismatic psychopath Mark Reed in Australian film 'Chopper', says although he tries to stay close to his Melbourne roots, he can never go back to being a regular guy.
He admitted: "The most difficult thing was when we got hit by the hurricane that wiped out the set on 'Troy'. We were sent home, and being home in Melbourne but still in production was hard. People were saying, 'Let's go out' - and I'd say, 'I can't, I'm still Hector.'"

That lake cabin party after the dance
Connie Eckhoff Charles
I remember the All-College formal dances. (I suppose all-college meant it wasn't like proms in high school which only juniors and seniors could attend.) One of the traditions was that you and your date stayed out all nighta big deal when you lived in the dorm, and, really, a big deal in any case. My sophomore year my date and I went to a cabin at a lake with a lot of other couples, and some of the guys went in the recently ice-free water for a wake-up the next morning. I just remember the fuzzy head I had the whole next day from not getting any sleep. It's kind of amazing to think about the outing now and remember that there didnt seem to be any drinking (at least not to excess) or hanky pankyat least thats what I remember. I have a couple of pictures of us, all so young and fresh.
Ambassadors for Friendship
Alice Rotzel Furry
My fondest memories are of Wallace Hall and Honor House where I enjoyed living with my friends Margy Thomas, Beverly Abraham, Connie Eckhoff, Jan Trowbridge, and Faith Ohman; and of the fabulous 6-week Ambassadors for Friendship adventure with my co-driver Susan Lundberg took four female, international journalists on tour of the Southwestern and Western states.
SWAP in Amsterdam
Janice Dickinson
SWAP experience in Amsterdam was most exciting. I thought I would not get back to Europe so at the end of working for the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam took a bus trip - If this is Tuesday it must be Belgium type - seeing lots of cities. Then Ambassadors for Friendship trip during the summer after graduation. Traveling with four international students and another American student, it was an adventure seeing the South during 1964 and the beginnings of the civil rights movement.
Hitch-hiking with SWAP
Carol Huenemann Eick
Another great adventure for me was to participate in the SWAP summer program in London, with a month to hitch-hike in Europe.
SPANning the Globe
Russell J. Greenhagen
I applied for the SPAN (Student Project for Amity Among Nations) program in as a sophomore. I I remember vividly the group interview at the U of Minnesota. It seemed like it went well, but getting the acceptance letter was a thrill. I had chosen Tanganika (now Tanzania) as my country of interest with little real knowledge but the next two years opened my eyes and changed my perspective. I have some great memories: dancing on the roof of the American Embassy with Karen Larvick, my love and my wife; climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro for the first time; the white beaches of Dar es Salaam contrasted with colorfully dressed Indian families out for a stroll; interviewing the last Sultan of Zanzibar; traveling to South Africa at the invitation of a German geologist, who shocked me by introducing a young woman at the airport as his "mistress"; discussing the 1963 March on Washington with an Algerian gun runner; getting measured for a Nigerian national costume in Lagos; watching the Ali/Frazier fight in the courtyard of a Nigerian Minister of Parliament; and many others. What a special time!
That Eternal Flame
David M. Crow
I remember that shortly after arriving at Mac, several of us guys went to an Open House at Summit House. For some reason (probably the need to screw-up our courage to go in!) we walked past Summit House and noticed flickering lights in the nearby Catholic Church. We watched for some time and decided we needed to ask if any of the women at Summit House had ever noticed those flame-like lights. None had, so we called the fired department. They arrived with sirens and flashing lights and tried making their way into the building. Finally one fireman on a ladder was able to make his way through a window without breaking it. He discovered that it was just the eternal flame doing what it was supposed to be doing!! Needless to say, the women at Summit House were more aware of our arrival there then we had ever imagined.

Flanagan believes that there are elements that Dr. Murray could have provided that added to his defense, since he was the only one in the room at the time of Jackson's death.
If the verdict was reversed on the grounds of error by law, Murray would be allowed to take the stand and share the missing information.
Flanagan and Wass believe that social media may have swayed jurors during the trial since it was such a high profile case.
"I think during the trial, it would have been difficult not to go on Twitter and see anything (about the case)," Wass said.
Murray's lawyers don't expect the doctor to serve more than two years of his sentence and could be released before his appeal develops.

Behind The Scenes Of 'Rachel Getting Married'
Filmmaker Jonathan Demme and screenwriter Jenny Lumet speak to Fresh Air guest host Dave Davies about their collaboration on Rachel Getting Married. Shot in documentary style, the film stars Anne Hathaway as a young woman who's coming home from a drug rehab center to attend her sister's wedding.
This interview originally aired Oct. 9, 2008.
Demme, Lumet on Getting 'Rachel' Married
Director Jonathan Demme, famous for Hollywood blockbusters including Silence of the Lambs, once made a specialty of nicely textured films about women. Lately, though, he's mostly been making documentaries, including recent studies of former President Jimmy Carter and musician Neil Young.
Now he's back at the multiplex with Rachel Getting Married, an almost universally acclaimed wedding dramedy starring Anne Hathaway in what some are calling a career-defining performance.
The movie's script is by Jenny Lumet, the daughter of another celebrated director, Sidney Lumet, and the writer Gail Buckley. (Which makes her the granddaughter of the legendary entertainer Lena Horne.)
Rachel Getting Married traffics in sibling rivalries, family idiosyncrasies, and much more, with Hathaway playing a recovering drug addict who seeks, almost unconsciously, to upstage her sister's wedding.
Film critic David Edelstein said in his Fresh Air review that "I don't think I've seen a movie with this mixture of desolation and fullness. Rachel Getting Married is a masterpiece."
Demme and Lumet join Fresh Air contributor Dave Davies for a conversation about how they came to make the movie, and what they discovered as it came together.

Here are some of the things I'd like to see...
- The Return of HTML Maps
I can't deny that the newer maps are pretty, because they are. However, there's a price that comes with shiny animated maps, and that's lag. At the moment, I cannot seem to click any of the links on the main Faerieland map. The older map was even worse; before Xandra crashed Faerieland, I couldn't even get the page to load. (Then again, I've switched computers since than, so that might not count.)
- The Ability to Relocate New Neohomes
I'm tired of living on Krawk Island. *sigh* (Plus, I can't sell my Classic Neohome due to a mysterious glitch.)
- The Loading Screen Font Changed

rose today despite new gun control laws proposed by President
The president outlined a series of gun control regulations,
including a ban on large magazines and universal background
checks for any gun buyer.
Nearly 40% of gun sales take place without background checks. So
Obama's new gun control proposals could lower gun sales.
Though the potential for lower revenue did not hurt the shares of
SWHC or RGR today, that shouldn't imply these are good stocks to
buy. In fact, SWHC may be on the verge of a large pullback.
The shares recently fell below the support of a long-term trend
line (blue). The lack of support in December may signal that
buyers will let the shares fall further before stepping back into
the stock.
Moreover, volume spiked as the shares lost the bullish trend line
(arrow). This indicates that sellers massively overwhelmed
buyers. Because volume was so high, it also stands to reason that
selling pressure will intensify as the shares rise back up to the
$9.50 zone. It could become a difficult resistance area, keeping
a lid on price appreciation.
This chart shows the price of
shares along with an important broken trend line to
Though the two gun manufacturers posted gains of more than
4.5% following Obama's speech, the pop could be short lived. SWHC
in particular may turn lower as the shares approach a challenging
resistance area.
The $8 level has supported the stock well during the past month.
However, if that support zone fails, a drop to the next support
zone at $6.50 may occur.

A self-taught photographer Susannah is an award-winning fine art landscape and nature photographer as well as a portrait photographer. I was born in the proverbial trunk, a dancer, singer and actress. I gave up my career willingly to raise a family, but always needed a creative outlet. As my children grew I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning a horse. I became a competitive dressage rider- ballet on four legs-and started photographing my friends and their mounts at horse shows. The magic of seeing a print develop in the darkroom caught my imagination and I was on my way. Being out in the countryside photographing the beauty and granduer of nature is immensely satisfying to me, the composing of the shot is like setting the stage, one only has to wait for the light and shoot. Portrait photography is another favorite expression of mine, waiting for that right moment to reveal and capture the inner life of the subject.

Review Content
With this game you get exactly what it says on the label. With Theme Hospital you can look forward to creating a hospital and construct scenes in it that you may come across in a real hospital, and attempt to overcome all the many difficulties and meet all the challenges that running a real hospital presents.
You have to juggle combinations of the welfare of your patients, the needs and safety of your hospital's medical and ancillary employees, and the limited budget and medical facilities at your disposal. This is a game of strategy, quick thinking and calculation. It is, as the name suggests very similar to other theme games but with, in my opinion, a very much more interesting and entirely different scenario. In this game, some of the medical facilities included in your responsibilities are X-Ray machines, scanners, electro cardiograph devices and many more advanced bits of technology.
You are also responsible for such in hospital services as pharmacies, operating theatres, emergency rooms and all the other necessary hospital departments. You will also have to deal with the finances of the site, making sure your services will earn enough money to pay your employees, maintain facilities and, most importantly, look after your patients, hopefully, eventually discharging them after curing them. So strategy is very well tested in this game, and, if you are up to the basic task of running your hospital you can go for expansion with even greater challenges.
The success or failure of the hospital will all depend on you. The game keeps you on your toes, your mind working towards the successful running of a very complex exercise in management skills. It has good graphics, realistic voices and movement, also with a degree of humor. There is also a demo version that you can download to see if it is for you, so what have you got to lose.
If you enjoyed playing sim city and other theme games then you will also enjoy Theme Hospital. Playing this game will make you realize just how complex and exacting the life and death decisions needed in the running of a hospital really are. Fascinating, varied, and full of unforeseen incidents, it is well worth getting hold of. I can highly recommended it and at the current price its a snip.

"Congress wants these organizations to be radioactive."
– DoJ attorney Douglas N. Letter to the Ninth Circuit, oral arguments in Humanitarian Law v. Gonzales, May 1, 2007 (quoted by Adam Liptak in "Right to Free Speech Collides With Fight Against Terror," New York Times, Feb. 11, 2010)
"The culture of suspicion's most dangerous feature is the termination of due process after an agency declares a question to be settled by a particular institution's reading of the security imperative. The fundamental dangers include imprisoning people without recourse to a court and excluding information from a trial that might be important in the creation of a defense."
– Todd Gitlin, CLS's "Privacy in the Age of National Security" conference, Nov. 14, 2007
The Obama administration and members of Congress on both sides of the aisle appear to be gearing up to change the course of free speech law as we know it. Under this rapidly emerging paradigm, speech is a potential weapon, and improper use of it can be a crime or even an act of war. They follow their predecessors in wanting the public to see national security as a radioactive zone – one in which the government not only has the exclusive ability to operate in but that the rest of the country dare not enter into. Prosecutions, military decisions, and increasingly pointed rhetoric are being used to mark the limits of this territory.
In June, the Supreme Court, deciding a case that began during the Clinton administration, agreed with the government in finding that advocacy work can be criminal. The Court held that human rights advocates would be committing a crime – material support of terrorism – by providing legal or lobbying advice to groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations, even if that advice is intended to "promot[e] peaceable, lawful conduct."
Word began to emerge as early as December that Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen in Yemen, may have been among the intended targets of a U.S. drone strike. News reports in April confirmed that the "targeted killing" of al-Awlaki – without any sort of trial or chance to present his case – had indeed been approved. (The ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights are preparing to file a lawsuit on al-Alwaki's behalf). While officials have said that his role has gone from being "inspirational" to "operational," the bulk of the publicly known information about his activity focuses on e-mail messages and YouTube videos. He has also written an article for Inspire – an online, English-language magazine circulated in July by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula – that threatened cartoonists in several countries. In a July 15th opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said that "[i]f the magazine succeeds, our security will be put at further risk." Hoekstra argued that that it doesn't matter that the magazine wouldn't make sense to most people, what matters is how it will influence a handful.
Five days later, Rep. Sue Myrick (R-N.C.), a member of the same congressional committee, said that Samir Khan should have his U.S. citizenship stripped and be charged with material support for serving as Inspire's editor in chief.
The Obama administration has ramped up prosecutions of government employees charged with leaking classified information, one of which included a subpoena of Times reporter James Risen. And now August brings us a government officials clamoring for a crackdown not only on people who leak classified information, but also on those who made the information available to the public. Following WikiLeaks's disclosure of tens of thousands of military documents about the war in Afghanistan, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) made clear that the Web site wouldn't be covered by a proposal intended to increase protections for journalists who rely on confidential sources. "WikiLeaks should not be spared in any way from the fullest prosecution possible under the law," he said, according to The New York Times.
The Times further reports that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has also called for WikiLeaks to be criminally charged, and that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was told that the government had been considering charging him with conspiracy to espionage. Assange did say, however, that he did not believe that the government planned to pursue the idea.
A prosecution of WikiLeaks could signal that charges may be brought not only against government employees who leak classified information but also journalists, bloggers, and others who publish it. The potential for news reporting to be considered criminal activity would severely hamper the public's ability to know about what the government is doing in their name, let alone debate its wisdom.
Speech can undoubtedly be dangerous. It seems clear that WikiLeaks's disclosures have led to the identification of Afghan citizens who have helped the U.S. war effort there, and that the Taliban responded by issuing a wave of death threats and killing at least one person. And we have heard of no credible evidence to refute the assertion that Anwar al-Alwaki has played a role in the radicalization of potential terrorists within the U.S., including the Fort Hood shooter and Faisal Shahzad, who left a car bomb in Times Square in May. Al-Awlaki is also said to have been involved in the Christmas Day attempt to bomb an airliner on final approach to Detroit. (The airstrikes that may have been aiming at al-Awlaki in December came just before Christmas and months before the Times Square bombing attempt, however).
But the effect of criminalizing speech, or even appearing to have criminalized speech, is to shatter the bulwark that allows ordinary citizens to speak their minds. It doesn't matter that most people are presumably not encouraging terrorist attacks or attempting to radicalize anyone online. It is a foundational tenet of our society that people can't be thrown in jail for what they say. Once that premise is dismantled – and dismantled publicly, with great fanfare – then it's popped like a soap bubble. It's not a question of a slippery slope. The dividing line between speech and conduct either provides protection or it doesn't. Once that wall is taken down the damage has already been done.
Even in upholding the material support statute, Justice Roberts, in delivering the Supreme Court's opinion, conceded that the law outlaws speech because of its content. In responding to the argument that the law is unconstitutionally vague, so that people wouldn't know what they were allowed to say and what they weren't, the Court held that there was no grounds for confusion in this particular case. "Of course, the scope of the material-support statute may not be clear in every application," he wrote.
In that ambiguity lies everything.
Not everyone who wants to criticize national security policy or speak out in favor of people who they believe to be unfairly prosecuted will have the luxury of seeking the court's clarification first. They will be left to wonder about what they're allowed to say and what they aren't, creating a legitimate fear of going to jail for writing or saying the wrong thing.
And that's when speech becomes radioactive, creating a blast area that nobody dare approach. One of the scariest features of radioactivity is that it's impossible to know where the borders of the safe zone are or when the danger may dissipate. In dissolving the previously recognizable cordon between speech and conduct, the government has knocked everyone else back, creating a realm of national security policy in which they and they alone may enter safely.

Chelsea Wieland's gymnastics world turned upside down following a freak cheerleading accident her sophomore year.
Wieland was performing a jump at a Columbus North football game when the girl next to her accidentally kicked her feet out from under her. Wieland fell on her arm, dislocating her elbow.
A club gymnast since the age of 7, Wieland decided the routines of high school gymnastics would be easier on her body.
"That's kind of what made me decide to do high school gymnastics because there's more opportunities and there's more room to adjust than there is in club," said Wieland, now a senior. "So high school gymnastics really helped me get back on my feet after that injury, and I've just stuck with it since then."
Wieland still did a couple of club meets that sophomore year and one last season; but she will focus strictly on high school meets this season, which begins with a meet tonight against Bloomington North. She has helped the Bull Dogs to state finals appearances each of the past two years.
"She really, really has trained like crazy to come back from that injury," North coach Sandy Freshour said.
Wieland finished eighth in the all-around competition at last year's Columbus East Regional and tied for 29th at state. Her best event is the beam, where she tied for fourth in last year's East Sectional with an 8.975.
"It just comes natural to me because I like kind of graceful stuff rather than powerful stuff," Wieland said. "That's just kind of my strength. I struggle with bars because I've had a lot of elbow issues throughout the years, and it's been a struggle to come back after each injury."
"She's an incredible dancer," Freshour said. "She's very, very aesthetically beautiful on floor and beam; and in terms of all-around as a gymnast, it's her work ethic and stick-to-itness that's pretty impressive."
That work ethic also pays off in the classroom, where she is a straight-A student, and in track and field, where she is a state qualifier in the pole vault. After missing out on qualifying for state on a tiebreaker as a sophomore, Wieland made it last year and tied for 17th.
"My pole vaulting coach (Dale Stelting) coached gymnastics, too, so it's easy for us to relate," Wieland said. "He'll say 'Oh, it's like this skill. That's what you need to do to make the motion.' He can relate and make me understand what I need to do with my body to make it higher. Also, I just have more body awareness being upside down from gymnastics, and I know a lot of the girls that did pole vaulting were gymnasts."
Wieland began her high school track career as a sprinter and hurdler before picking up the pole vault midway through her freshman year.
"Halfway through the season, I was like 'Hey, pole vaulting looks fun,' and I just decided to hop in and started doing that. I had a good season my freshman year, so I did it again sophomore year. That was kind of a struggle, and then junior year was even more of a struggle because we didn't really have that much of a coaching staff for pole vaulting, but it ended up turning out well."
Last year, Wieland cleared 10 feet, 6 inches. The school record is 11-3.
"I'd really like to place at state," Wieland said. "It's my goal to hopefully break the school record. It's possible if I can fix some things in my run and plant and stuff."
Wieland is looking at possibly pole vaulting at University of Indianapolis, Stelting's alma mater. She also is looking at Kentucky and Indiana University.
But first, Wieland hopes to help lead the Bull Dogs to sectional and regional titles and another trip to Muncie for the state finals.
"I would really like us to go to state because I've been to state every year, and that would be really cool, especially since it's my senior year," Wieland said. "I'm excited because I've done gymnastics with a lot of these girls for a long time. It's also my senior year, so it's a good chance to step up and be a leader and just have some fun."
"She is one of the best leaders I have had in my 33 years as coach," Freshour said. "The way she leads by example, the way she cares for all of the girls on our team; and the work ethic, there is none better. She is every coach's dream as a mentor to young athletes."

Being old isn't an excuse
We've been together since 2000. Got married in 2005 and started having unprotected sex on the honeymoon. We didn't get pregnant until 2007, though.
This time, we were in 'negotiations' about the next one. I had gone off bc because my cycles were wonky even though i was on the pill. We were sorta using condoms and sort of not and well, God said it was time for #2! =D No troubles at all conceiving this one and we're so very thankful for that! I was really scared it would take 2 years like the first time.

My beautiful LO was a one year anniversary oops baby/deployment baby We dated for 1 1/2 years, engaged for 7 months. Married exactly one year and we never stood a chance after he got home.
DD 2-6-2012 Love-bug DD 2-14-2014
My DH and I have been together for 9 years now (was 8 when we concieved). We had only been married for 6 months when we conceived though. My DH was pushing to do it sooner, but we took a late honeymoon in May (6 months after the wedding) and I wanted to be able to enjoy it. So we got to work when we got home and conceived the first try!
DH and I have been together for 11 years, married for 5.
We tried for over a year to with no luck. Went into the doctor and found out I had a dermoid cyst the size of a grapefruit in my right ovary. I had surgery to remove the cyst (lost my ovary too) and we got pregnant 2 months later!
Sarah & DH, married 2006
We've been together 8 years, married for 5, and started trying for a baby in March of 2011 (and got pregnant in May). Since my job's the primary career (and it's what keeps us in our town and our house), I felt it necessary to feel comfortable in my career path before we had our first (and maybe only) baby.
