Bio and Links
I am researching my ancestors with surnames Davidson, Hardin, Mabary, Watson, Farnsworth, McBurney, Prine, Hamilton, Adams, Hines, Belieu, Chamberlain, and of course, many many more. I live in Seattle, WA.
I am happy to do research in my area, and to take photos of graves that are near me or near where I will be travelling. It's the least I can do, since I'll be requesting the same of others. Feel free to contact me for whatever reason.

RE: Vera Piper
Hi Dave,
Thanks very much for clarifying this! I'm not related, but I was working on a genealogical project and looking for a Piper family member when your memorial came up.
Thanks for all that you do and for helping so many others!
Best regards,

Re: Virgil Burd 99089321
Hi Dave - I tried to request a photo of the headstone for this memorial and received the following info from the volunteer: "Cemetery office has no record of this person. Death Certificate lists Virgil is buried at Laurel Land Memorial Park. Blanche Hays Burd is buried next to her parents, Rea and James Hays."
What information do you have that he is buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give me on this memorial.

Sarah Ann Prine Powers
I got the pics per your request today for Sarah Powers' grave. She has no gravestone. I put picture captions on the pics I added to her page if you care to click on those pics to see that.
She is right near this cedar tree that is leaning so far over I don't know why it does not fall over or how it got that way? It appears to be in there solid as a rock though.

Sarah Ann Prine Powers
I see you put in a request for pics for Sarah Powers' grave. Just so you will know. I took pictures of every gravestone in that section of the cemetery to make sure everyone with gravestones was added to Find A Grave. There was no gravestone for a Sarah Powers.
I will go get pics of the area and check and make sure someone did not spell her name wrong on Find A Grave or some such thing. I will poke the ground to make sure she does not have a gravestone that got all covered over with dirt from our lovely rain, rain, rain winters here in the wonderful N.W. It won't be long before I go up there again. This week though I am dealing with a few variables that I do not know how they are going to "play out".

Eliza vs. Lyde
I would bet that as a young toddler she said "Lyde" instead of Eliza, and that became her name for life.
How sweet that her long-lost given name was on her niche plate! :)

RE: Henry Garnett
Thank you for connecting Henry to his mother.
Re: your Kincaid ancestor the only similar set I could find on World Connect was one link:
Would love to know more about Samuel�s parents, spouse, etc. and maybe connect him to others.
My Kincaid family stayed in Kentucky & Tennessee but their close cousin led a wagon train thru the Natchez Pass in Washington & helped found Sumner, WA - where strangely I found myself working for several years.
Just tonight finished write-up of Glasgow KY Highland Games to submit clan tent report for our International newsletter. Decent weather and a good many visitors to our tent. In case you don�t have it, here�s a link to our international website, all very official & under the auspices of Madam Heather Kincaid of Kincaid, Chief. http://www.clankincaid.org/
Thanks again for help with Henry.
Yours ay, Ann

Death From Above, Louisiana Edition
Now dead birds are falling from the skies of Louisiana. I don't want to go overboard on this, but coming so closely after the mass fish and bird deaths in neighboring Arkansas, I think it's pretty clear: WE ARE TOTALLY IN END TIMES. Everybody panic.

Additional Information
About ADIMLocated in Central America, ADIM is a small microfinance institution with a strong social focus. In the saturated microfinance market of Nicaragua, ADIM stands out for its emphasis on the holistic development of women as well as its provision of responsible financial services. Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment. Supporting an ADIM borrower means contributing not only to the continued offering of the socially conscious services it provides, but also to the sustainable growth of a truly unique microfinance institution.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The goal of breast cancer surgery is to remove the entire tumor from the breast. Some of the lymph nodes from the underarm area (axillary nodes) may also be removed to see if cancer cells are present.
There are two basic types of surgery to remove breast cancer:
Figure 5.1 shows each type of surgery.
With lumpectomy, the tumor and a small rim of normal tissue around the tumor are removed, but the rest of the breast remains intact. With mastectomy, the entire breast is removed.
Most women who have lumpectomy will have radiation therapy to the breast after surgery.
Some women who have mastectomy may also have radiation therapy.
Lumpectomy. The surgeon removes the breast tumor and a small rim of normal tissue around it. Some axillary lymph nodes may also be removed to see if cancer cells are present.

Mastectomy. The surgeon removes the entire breast (in most, but not all, cases this includes the nipple and areola). Some axillary lymph nodes may also be removed to see if cancer cells are present.
Breast reconstruction can be done at the same time as the mastectomy or later. Some women choose not to have reconstruction.
Breast reconstruction can help restore the look and feel of the breast after a mastectomy.
In rare cases, reconstruction may be done after a lumpectomy to maintain a more natural appearance of the breast, or to match the size and shape of the opposite breast.
Learn more about breast reconstruction.
Although the exact treatment for breast cancer varies from person to person, treatment guidelines help ensure quality care. These guidelines are based on the latest research and the consensus of experts.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) are two respected organizations that regularly update and post their guidelines online. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) also has overviews of treatment options.
You may have a choice between a lumpectomy or a mastectomy. Almost all women who have a lumpectomy will also get radiation therapy. Some women may also get radiation therapy after a mastectomy.
For women who have a choice, overall survival with lumpectomy plus radiation therapy is the same as with mastectomy [5].
The choice of surgery does not affect whether you will need chemotherapy, hormone therapy and/or targeted therapy.
Recommendations for these drug therapies are made regardless of the type of surgery you have.
Learn more about lumpectomy.
Learn more about mastectomy.
Learn more about deciding between lumpectomy and mastectomy.
Our interactive treatment navigation tool can help you explore the different types of treatments you may have.
If you are facing breast cancer surgery, remember there are many women who have been where you are today. They had the same fears and made the same tough choices. These women have gone through surgery, recovered and are living their lives. They may be willing to talk to you and answer questions.
You can find other survivors on our Message Boards. Your health care provider may be able to help you how to find a local support group.
Learn more about social support and find a list of support resources.
Komen Support Resources
It is a myth that exposing breast cancer to air during surgery or cutting through the cancer might cause it to spread. Surgery and diagnostic procedures (such as surgical and needle biopsies) do not cause breast cancer to spread.

Globally, carbon emissions from fires were near the long-term average in 2014, but North America's emissions were 70% higher than average.
In addition to its primary mission of observing space weather, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite is carrying two instruments that are important to climate science: the NISTAR radiometer and the EPIC camera.
Like a prehistoric fly trapped in amber during dinosaurs' days, airborne relics of Earth's earlier climate can end up trapped in glacial ice for eons. How do climate scientists turn those tiny relics into a story about Earth's ancient climate?
In this activity, students read an article condensed from several NASA articles about the impact of deforestation on the atmosphere and answer review questions. They then use Google Earth and current NEO data to examine relationships between forest fires and atmospheric aerosols.
This image depicts a representative subset of the atmospheric processes related to aerosol lifecycles, cloud lifecycles, and aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions that must be understood to improve future climate predictions.
This video addresses two ways in which black carbon contributes to global warming - when in the atmosphere, it absorbs sunlight and generates heat, warming the air; when deposited on snow and ice, it changes the albedo of the surface. The video is effective in communicating about a problem frequently underrepresented in discussions of climate change and also public health.
C-Learn is a simplified version of the C-ROADS simulator. Its primary purpose is to help users understand the long-term climate effects (CO2 concentrations, global temperature, sea level rise) of various customized actions to reduce fossil fuel CO2 emissions, reduce deforestation, and grow more trees. Students can ask multiple, customized what-if questions and understand why the system reacts as it does.
This video illustrates how atmospheric particles, or aerosols (such as black carbon, sulfates, dust, fog), can affect the energy balance of Earth regionally, and the implications for surface temperature warming and cooling.
In this lesson, students explore several facets of the impact of volcanic eruptions on the atmosphere. Students analyze three types of visual information: a graph of aerosol optical depth v. global temperature, a global map with temperature anomalies, and an ash plume photograph. In the hands-on activity, students use math to determine the rate and estimated time of arrival of an ash plume at an airfield.
This climate change interactive modeling simulation simulates the interactions among different sets of variables related to climate change. This is a facilitated guided-inquiry exercise.

Hello my friend, aaaw thank you very much of your fave and the sweet comment on my mini pouch project.
really appriciate it.;-D
i'm all stressed out at the moment my cats as well.-S
i'm really going to move , finely after waiting for my key for 1 year and nine months. in real i have been waiting much longer on the waiting list of fokus.
on that one i was standing nine years -S
so i'm lucky to leave this town and this house, i have nice good memories but the last years this house was making me ill, because of my problems with my neigbhours. i having asthma and i can't stand the smoke of a sigarette so they are smoking non stop too in the house and outside so i'm receiving my daily smoke of them LOL and all the noice it's not fun anymore they have lay down the carpeting wrong-S
so it likes there are living not humans but elephants above me.LOL
i have asked them oftenly to be some more silently but... i know they can't help it because of there carpeting-S
because i'm stucked at home for 1,year and 7 months it's not great.
so this is good news.
only i must change of provider suddenly so i will be ofline sometime.-S
but... i'm coming back.LOL
at the moment i 'm making hugh recyling glass curtains.
i don't like glass curtains but because i will live in the old city the overside neigbhours can see what's laying on my plate.LOL
so i really needs them.LOL
and the toilet is beside the galery and has a very large window from the ceiling till the floor so everybody can watch you sitting down.LOL
my friends had to laught and were a little bit worried that i didn't want to hang in front of that a curtain.LOL
and in the same toilet must stand the washing machine , there are some strange things happenend so they had made some strange solutions.LOL
but i like the house , it's light and on the top floor of the building with two large balconies and a big extra seccond bedroom which is like the size of a ballroom so i 'll make that my studio so i would have less mess allaround the house.XD
it will be a big adventure because i must find out all new things new md , and gp's and shops and so on.
but it's good to do that, it's a new start over in my live, i like that.
i have lived too long in the same house for n ow. and in the same town. which wasn't my choice really.

Hi, funny I keep following Jet. She is a friend of mine who loves recycling and is very artistic with unusual materials. Check out her projects for alternative materials and processes. I'm someone who likes to recycle to. Mainly with fabrics. I buy 2nd hand clothes and use them for making my hats, coats and corsets. I only buy new material if I have a specific idea and can't find it second hand. I have 2 female cats who both have quirky characters. One is like a bad teenager and the other is like an old aloof lady. It's so funny when they start chasing each other. I had an Alsation and an Irish red setter as I was growing up. The Alsation was quiet and regal. The setter was crazy. He used to get free from his lead and run off over the fields to roll in cow muck....yuck. I would love to have a dog again....maybe when I get a place with more outside space. I remember once putting a headband with springs and sparkly bobbles on my dog. Our other dog got angry and it ended up with a dog fight. Me and my sister threw water on them to seperate them....well my sister missed and I was covered in pond water...Lol. Have a great day x

So she is recovering in the bench and wolfje didn't like her , because she don't smell right anymore.LOL
but she loved the food of Muis and that's helping her to come kind to muis again.
Muis suffered a lot of pain,there is a metal plate with srews in her leg and a big work at her knee, that's red an thick and don't look great, she is very tin like me and now with no furr it's showing worse.LOL

With their 1-0 loss to Sevilla on Saturday, Real Madrid now have just four points from their first four league matches of the season and the frustration has set in. After Sevilla scored just 69 seconds into the match, that frustration showed as Real struggled not only to finish their chances, but to keep level heads as Sevilla knocked them around.
Early in the match, Gonzalo Higuain was shown a yellow card for starting scuffle/team standoff and he also kicked Sevilla defender Fernando Navarro in the back of the leg for giving him a shot to the gut...
Just before halftime, Angel Di Maria took a swing and a miss at Ivan Rakitic, who was shown a yellow for draggin Di Maria down in the middle of the pitch...
And finally, just before full time, Cristiano Ronaldo was taken down from behind as he charged towards goal, opening up a cut on his arm. With his arm bleeding, green lasers in his eyes and his public sadness still getting snickered at, Cristiano had his chance to dramatically salvage a point for his side. But, it didn't quite work out (via Soccer Training Info)...
After the match, Jose Mourinho expressed his frustration not only with his team, but with himself. From Football Espana:
"We have a problem with a state of mind. We lack a collective spirit. Only two or three heads are committed, and focused that football is the centre of their lives. We have few compromised minds. But I'm the Coach, therefore this is my fault.
"At the half-time break, I substituted two players [Mesut Ozil and Angel Di Maria] but I wanted to change seven. Football should allow you to make more changes. [...]
"My team doesn't show up at the moment. That's my problem. Right now, I have no team and that worries me."
There is reason for Madridistas to remain hopeful, though. The last time they started a season this poorly (2001/02), they won the Champions League.

The massive Barts and Royal London hospital project is nearing financial close but, with Government NHS funding shifting to Payment by Results, is it affordable?
Andrew Hankinson reports
THE DEPARTMENT of Health is about to bring to life a £4.6 billion monster in the form of the new Barts and Royal London hospital project.
The project is the biggest let yet under the Government's Private Finance Initiative. Financial close between the client, Barts and the London NHS Trust, and the team chosen to carry out the work, Skanska and financier Innisfree, is due ? apparently ? soon.
Once the documents are signed there will be no going back. But some have lots of questions they still need answering: for example, is it really affordable? What is delaying financial close? Why is it costing so much? And is there too much risk involved with new NHS finance?
One NHS insider said: 'I'm not surprised it's taking a while to agree a contract. A lot of people are saying that Payment by Results ? whereby a hospital is paid only for the treatment it carries out rather than given a conventional budget ? has killed PFI. It used to be relatively easy for trusts to predict their budget. You got the same as last year with a bit more or less.
'Now, with market forces through choice for patients and Payment by Results, if a hospital is in the papers for the wrong reasons nobody will go there and it won't make any money. It makes it much harder to predict future revenues.
'I'm not sure what would happen to a trust if its income dropped and it couldn't pay the PFI contractor.
But I'm sure a developer could catch a big cold on one of these deals.' The redevelopment of St Bartholomew's Hospital, better known as Barts, and the Royal London Hospital has been in the pipeline since 1997 ? the year Labour took power.
Following a Government review of London's health services, Barts and the London NHS Trust was asked to d raw up an outline business case for project.
It was eventually decided that the Royal London in Whitechapel, in the heart of the East End, would be redeveloped as the biggest hospital project in Britain.
The decision was also taken to close Barts, which has been at its Smithfield location in the City since 1123, and turn it into a specialist cardiac and cancer centre.
Services will be transferred across town to the Royal London.
Once it was decided what to do, the project was advertised in the Official Journal in 2002. But there the problems began. The trust had been hoping for at least three firms to compete for the then £600 million deal, but could only attract two suitors.
One contractor who decided not to bid said: 'It was one of those jobs that was just too big. To get involved you had to be 100 per cent committed, as it was going to cost a fortune to bid for.' The two teams that eventually decided to take the plunge were led by French contractor Bouygues and Skanska. The Skanska team was eventually appointed preferred bidder in December 2003.
Yet the problems have continued to pile up thick and fast ? notably concerning the twin drivers of any project of this size: planning and finance. Planning problems ? the Greater London Authority had called in the Royal London part of the work ? meant the trust bust its original end of June target for financial close.
Then the trust said it was aiming for financial close by the end of August but that too came and went. Even now there are problems with planning as a group of residents near the Royal London is trying to instigate a judicial review into planning consent.
All this delay is not only adding to the cost of the scheme ? an inevitability, it seems, with PFI hospitals ? but leaving people to privately wonder whether it will ever get under way.
According to the minutes of a meeting in June of the North East London Strategic Health Authority ? which is overseeing the project and must approve the full business case ? executive director of investment Anne Smart admitted: 'Barts and the London Trust is currently vulnerable as the PFI project still needs to be signed off.' Her report revealed that for every month after August without financial close the trust would be adding a further £500,000 to its bill.
But the trust cannot say when it expects to reach financial close and a spokesman would only speculate that it hoped this would be by the end of the year.
The main sticking point right now is the NHS trust's business case, which was approved this week by the health authority but which still needs Treasury approval.
The health authority's subcommittee told its main board that progress had been made towards concluding the business case with regards to commercial and financial issues ? but there were still some outstanding matters such as risks and affordability.
So what the right hand gives the left takes away. A report presented at the same meeting on Tuesday said the financial imbalance at the health authority for 2005-06 had now been elevated from a 'high' risk to a 'severe' risk.
In June the authority had said: 'The business case is exceptional in respect of the degree of change (and hence uncertainty) associated with the NHS financial regime (both revenue and capital); the lengthy timescale over which the project is completed (10 years); and the scale of the capital investment.' The report highlighted that risks such as construction inflation, design changes, Government policy and planning could still have an impact on the project.
All these problems are starting to ring alarm bells in the industry. The bigger the project, it seems, the harder it falls ? evidence A: the £1 billion Paddington Health Campus.
Other hospital debacles, such as Whipps Cross in east London and Derriford in Plymouth, even managed to collapse with bidders in place. At least the Derriford scheme has managed to salvage something from the ashes in that it might be recast as a series of smaller projects.
Changing Government policy, as evidenced by the Payment by Results initiative, is being seen more and more as the main hindrance to PFI deals being signed off. Mark Knight, chief executive of the HealthCare Financial Management Association, which represents NHS finance staff, said: 'There is widespread recognition in the Payment by Results regime that there could be problems in agreeing PFI deals. I think the Government is now taking steps to address this problem.' But the risks involved obviously seem worth it for some contractors when such huge amounts over such long periods are up for grabs. Contractors like PFI because of the guaranteed income streams it produces.
The capital cost of the Barts and Royal London scheme was originally estimated at around £600 million but that has now risen to £1.2 billion ? or £1.9 billion if interest, fees and operating costs over the 10 year construction period are included.
The total whole-life cost of the scheme will be around £4.6 billion. That means Barts and the London NHS Trust will have to pay Skanska Innisfree £115 million every year for the next 40 years.
Wendy Mead, a councillor at the Corporation of London and the chairman of the Save Barts campaign, is worried about what will happen to the hospital if the business case does get approval and the scheme finally gets off the ground.
She said: 'Healthcare is suffering under PFI. Skanska will get its £115 million every year before any healthcare has even taken place. In fact healthcare is the only area that isn't ring-fenced and that is what is eaten away when trusts run into hard times. We have never seen this scheme as being successful and our worry is that to cut costs Barts may be cut from it altogether.' The trust admits the Government's tariffs under Payment by Results may yet change and it will need to carry out constant reviews of its affordability.
Skanska and the trust will be hoping the monster does not tu rn on them over the next 40 years.

FOUC vs. Progressive Enhancement
In his recent post on web standards and progressive enhancement, Zeldman notes:
When a site like Facebook stops functioning when a script forgets to load, that is a failure of education and understanding on the part of those who created the site.
This has me rethinking the way I've approached progressive enhancement.
How I do progressive enhancement #
When I write scripts that hide or manipulate content on a page, I make all content visible by default, and use a feature test to add a
.js class to the
<body> element. I only hide and manipulate content when that class is present, esnuring that no one is ever prevented from seeing the content. (Learn more about how I use feature tests.)
Unfortunately, this can cause FOUC.
Fixing FOUC #
FOUC, or flashes of unstyled content, happen when markup is loaded before the styles of scripts that style it.
I load my scripts in the footer for better performance. Because no content is hidden or manipulated before those scripts load (progressive enhancement), visitors will often see the page build before them, with all of the drop-down navigation elements visible and tab content stacked on top of each other. Once the script loads, everything looks normal.
A simple way to avoid this is by putting the feature test up in the
<head> element, which is what I now do on all of the sites that build. Since it loads before any of the markup is painted, there's no FOUC.
So we're good, right? Well, not exactly…
Failure to Load #
The Zeldman quote at the beginning of this piece identifies a giant hole in this approach. If a browser supports the appropriate API's but fails to load a JS file, the content is hidden, but the script that would allow a user to manipulate and view it isn't there.
I've encountered this countless times, especially on mobile devices where things just time out because they take too long. Not being able to view the content you want is a terribly frustrating user experience—one far worse than a momentary flash of unstyled content.
Progressive enhancement has never been about users who've turned JavaScript off, or least it wasn't for me… Basically, when an elevator fails, it's useless. When an escalator fails, it becomes stairs. We should be building escalators, not elevators.
On Building Escalators #
Unfotunately, it feels like progressive ehancement and FOUC are a bit at odds with each other. You could just load all of your scripts in the
<head>, but then your left with flashes of no content, which is even worse.
For now, I plan on updating all of my scripts to run the feature test as part of the JS file itself. It will introduce some FOUC, but if the file doesn't download, users can still access the content. If anyone can come up with a better solution—one that removes FOUC and ensures users always have access to the content—let me know!

I hardcode a
.no-js class to
<head> element then replace it with a
.js if JS is enabled (either use Modernizr or custom 1 liner in the
<head>). I then style my page expecting JS to be enabled and use the
.no-js class to override any styles that are needed when JS is disabled.
Chris Ferdinandi
@Chris Pearce – That's pretty similar to what I do (though I assume no JS by default). I guess my biggest concern is that you're testing with one file that has no visibility to whether or not the other one has loaded. So you can end up in a situation where the browser supports JS, but the needed file failed to download and so content is inaccessible to the user.
I'm finding that preventing FOUC is at odds with that challenge.
(PS: I added the missing text back in to your original comment for you.)
Ian McBurnie
Thank you! I've been looking everywhere for an article that mentions this issue! I'm surprised there aren't more comments or follow ups (none that I've found yet anyway).
It seems that proponents of progressive enhancement (which I include myself as) are no longer just citing the 'no-script' case (e.g. JS is disabled or unavailable) as a good reason to build pages this way, but now also the 'unknown-script' state (e.g. JS is enabled and available, but a script is slow to load or execute, potentially failing entirely).
Unfortunately, as you mention, the tried and tested formula for preventing FOUC for the no-script scenario does appear at odds with the unknown-script scenario.
A simple example would be a tabs widget and preventing the content of all it's tab panels briefly flashing up on screen. For the classic no-script case I would typically use JS in the head to add a .js class to the body which I then leverage in my CSS selector to hide all but one of the tab panels. The tabs widget JS will then come along and initialize the widget so that the tabs are fully operable. Great. But the big problem, like you say, is if the tabs widget JS fails to load or execute properly; then the tabs are inoperable and their content stays hidden. Not so great.
It could be argued that this failure to load or execute might just be a temporary network glitch and a quick page refresh or two fixes the issue. But what if it doesn't?
Well, after all my musing, I'm sorry I didn't actually come here with any kind of solution (anti-climax), but until somebody does I think I too will be reintroducing some FOUC into my progressive enhancement. If you do have any links, tweets, follow-ups, etc I would be most glad to see them.
Chris Ferdinandi
@Ian McBurnie – I, too, am surprised at the lack of interest around this. I've shared my thoughts around PE vs. FOUC a few times but haven't gotten much in the way of discussion.
I've ultimately settled on FOUC in the name of complete, won't-ever-fail access, and have updated all of my scripts accordingly. As you note, sometimes these glitches don't quickly resolve themselves (for example, downloading a page just a train goes into a tunnel).
See http://pawsnewengland.com for a working example.
Ian McBurnie
Yes, I think in cases where you have complete control of the code and a handle on the performance then the first-load FOUC can be negligible on a fast network. It must have felt liberating to update all of your scripts that way :-)
For large enterprise sites though, that are traditionally less performant, I am more wary and I think there might have to be some trade-offs and further thinking to alleviate at least some of the FOUC where possible.
For example, regarding the tabs widget I mentioned in my comment, instead of hiding the panels I could potentially just give the panel container a fixed height with overflow:scroll, then reset both styles to 'auto' in the widget JS. It wont be as seamless as before, as the panel container will now have to quickly resize itself, but it's arguably better than seeing the unstyled content and is now completely usable if the JS bails out.
Chris Ferdinandi
@Ian McBurnie – That's a good point. Having worked in corporate settings before, I know exactly what you mean. I really like your example with the tabs. Nice win/win.

there are third party apps that do this job ure looking for. no need to manage them through Apple IDs.
i can recomend one, if u like, just that its only in beta tests. its made by Bitdefender. so, if ure interested, let me know, here.

What I've done is have a global iTunes account that's used for find my iPhone
Separate account for VPP for apps
iOS devices are managed by mdm (profile manager)
Users can use their personal iTunes account on the devices if they wish
What you have to be careful of is users enabling iCloud calendar etc
And suddenly broadcasting their appointments to one and all because all devices are on the same global iCloud iTunes account
Or changing the main iCloud account to their own which removes the device from the company iTunes find my iPhone
What I do if they want their own iTunes account on the device is move the company find my iPhone iCloud
To a secondary icloud account setup on the device which is not the primary default icloud account
Users see when they first enter setting, so it's less likely to get fiddled with
I don't restrict settings on the devices, you could always enable it to stop users fiddling about
Depending on your company policy you may need to let users know they can be tracked at any time via find my iPhone
Although not that accurately at times
I think an mdm solution would be better than relying on find my iPhone which could easily be disabled by users
Profiles pushed to devices can also be removed but if you structure your profile you can make it so if a user deletes the profile, they loose everything mail network etc
Most mdm solutions can lock wipe etc devices

Antonio 'T.J.' Johnson shares his thoughts as he looks for new challenges in New York
I talked with some of my students before I left, and they make me proud to have been a teaching artist and recreation director and opinionated actor for over 30 years in the city of San Diego.
I still hope to have some relationship with the theater community by doing shows or collaborating with my pet project "The Century Cycle Festival."
As an artist and as a human being I am looking for a situation where I feel artistically and personally fulfilled. Something is missing in the community for me, and when I would take short visits to New York I felt a sense of belonging.
It's not race issues or financial issues. There is some disappointment in the show-business aspect of my life in San Diego. I don't feel comfortable with how my interaction in the theater community has played out. Mostly it's my fault because of my independent, vagabond attitude. But I felt I had fallen into a spot and I was stuck there, and to suggest that I could do different things, different characters, would not be considered.
It makes me feel that there is a box that I have been placed in that frightens me, and whether or not this is true is not important, it's how I feel in San Diego. It is up to me to do something about that frustration.
Finally, the most important reason is a young man named Nicholas Reynolds Hart. I was introduced to Nick by my friend, partner and mentor, Joe Powers. Nicholas was a 22-year-old who 'wanted to be an actor.' We used him as the narrator at the (Vagabond Theatre Company) reading of 'Mr. Rickey Calls a Meeting.'
That night we talked about acting and my feelings and passions about it. I saw the vision of the vagabond in his eyes — that look that says, 'I want to find the magic and live in it, I will go anywhere and do anything to find it, tell me how you do it.'
I was going to meet with Nick and talk about my two favorite subjects, me and acting. We were to meet in my favorite place, in Ocean Beach, March 18. Nicholas was killed in a car accident March 16.
(So) I'm taking Nick with me and we are going to find that magic. I'm crying now. I'm sorry to be so dramatic, but I'm an actor. So start spreading the news … gotta find my corner of the sky … somewhere over the rainbow."

- Election 2010: Colorado's U.S. Senate Race
Republican Ken Buck's comments that he disagreed "strongly with the concept of the separation of church and state" reverberated through the political blogosphere Tuesday, forcing Buck's campaign into yet another defensive posture less than a week before the election.
Though the video was taped at Colorado Christian University in November 2009 and has been around since the Republican Senate primary, Buck's Democratic opponent, Michael Bennet, and national Democrats gave it some juice Tuesday by linking the comments with a Tea Party Senate candidate in Delaware.
Colorado's Election 2010
Election News and Candidate Info
There, GOP hopeful Christine O'Donnell last week questioned whether the separation of church and state was in the Constitution.
"A week after extremist Christine O'Donnell called into question the separation of church and state, reports show Buck took it a step further and said he completely disagrees with any separation of church and state," said the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in a news release.
Buck's campaign says what he meant was "political correctness that has run amok," said Owen Loftus, Buck spokesman.
Loftus called the video — posted to the liberal Think Progress blog Tuesday morning — another attempt at distracting voters about a terrible Democratic record on creating jobs and improving the economy.
Bennet spokesman Trevor Kincaid didn't hesitate to leap on the video, sending out a list of other examples where Buck uttered similar sentiments in interviews or on the campaign trail. Kincaid also pointed out that Buck told the Christian Family Alliance in a survey that he supported public posting of the Ten Commandments.
For his part, Buck spent most of Tuesday discussing jobs and health care at a Denver manufacturing company, but his message was overshadowed by a news cycle chewing on his words made new by an opposition machine.
Denver political consultant Eric Sondermann said Buck is now toiling on problems that resonate with voters, "but they're not daily issues."
"Bennet has the new information," Sondermann said. "Bennet does not want to run this thing on economic issues, jobs or health care."
State GOP chairman Dick Wadhams, who has run several U.S. Senate campaigns, has seen the strategy before, when "they feel the campaign is slipping away, they are behind this kind of behavior."
Mike Feeley agreed. Feeley, now a lawyer at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, has run for office as a Democrat and helped orchestrate multiple statehouse and congressional races.
"This is Hail Mary time," he said. "They are definitely trying to move the needle with a necessary constituency. It's like, 'OK, how do we get that point? OK, we need to move women. OK, we need to move students. OK, we need to move Hispanics.' "
In the Colorado Christian University video, Buck was responding to a question from a young woman who asked how he would preserve American culture in an increasingly blended society.
Buck said that immigration was important because "we are allowing immigration to control us." He then said he disagreed strongly with the concept of separation of church and state.
"While we have a Constitution that is very strong in the sense that we are not going to have a religion sanctioned by the government, it does not mean we need to have a separation between government and religion," he said, to applause. "That concerns me a great deal."
In finishing his response, Buck offered an anecdote about President Barack Obama that has been discredited by fact-checking websites:
"And, and one thing that President Obama has done that I would certainly speak about is calling the Christmas tree, which has historically been called a Christmas tree in Washington, D.C., a holiday tree. It's just flat wrong in my mind."

According to, According to Lt. Patrick Weatherford, Newport Police Department, on June 31, the Newport Police Department was dispatched to Harmony Homes Apartments, 1110 N. Pecan St., in reference to a burglary. Upon arrival, police say they met with a maintenance supervisor who told them that apartment J3 had been burglarized. Officials say the apartment had been ransacked and that the owner of the apartment later reported several items were stolen including a couch, table, lamps, television and other furniture. Police found several of the items at a nearby apartment which was occupied by Calamese's girlfriend and spoke with several witnesses who police say further implicated Calamese in the burglary. "We appreciate the support of the public in helping us solve crimes, " said Weatherford. "More importantly, the victim in this case is grateful to their good neighbors who provided the information necessary to make an arrest in this burglary." According to police, Calamese's was on parole at the time of his arrest. He has been convicted of at least eight prior felonies and in this current case is charged as a habitual offender.

This week at the station
This week at Davis: 10 January 2014
Drum crushing
The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) is responsible for implementing the Australian Government's obligation to protect the Antarctic environment, as reflected in its vision for Antarctica as valued, protected and understood.
One of the key station aspects of our interaction with the environment is waste management. What that means to everyone on station is responsible waste management and the need to return all station waste to Australia.
One of the most gathered items on station and the hardest to return are the empty 200 litre fuel drums. To return them takes a lot of space on the ship and sometimes it is not possible to return all of the drums. Over a period of time the fuel drums at Davis stockpiled to an exceedingly large number. Problem – a large number of fuel drums; solution – a drum crusher. By crushing the drums it is possible to return to Australia eight drums in the space of one uncrushed drum.
One of the main tasks at Davis this year was the washing, crushing and readying for return to Australia of the gathered fuel drums and nearly everyone on station was expected and inducted to operate the drum crusher. Each drum takes about 6-8 minutes to be crushed and still weighs 22 kg. It is expected that all drums will be finished this summer and ready for return to Australia.
Nick's cryptic cartoon
This week Nick has created another original cryptic cartoon. To help out with the answer it is worth noting that the cartoon's source is Davis or Antarctic references, places or technical terminology at Davis. Good luck, and did anyone get the last one right? See the answer in next week's edition of Icy News.
Jingle Bells
For the authors of Icy News, there is nothing better than to know someone is reading your contributions. What's even better is when one of the expeditioners' mums writes a song incorporating the theme of our last edition of Icy News, which was playing golf on the sea ice golf course. Here is Craig's mum's song to be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells and what an appropriate time of year (Christmas) to receive it. Thanks Annie.
"Jingle Bells"
Especially Written For Antarctic Golf Addicts!
Golfing in the snow
with coloured balls and tees,
Drives are hard to contemplate
they bring me to my knees.
Iron on ice does ring
A clunky kind of tune,
Oh look here, I've bent my shaft
I'm fearing golf club ruin.
Oh… Juggled balls, tangled belts,
Jangle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to play
Golf, in the snow today.
*** (reprise if you wish)
We only have one hole,
and it is ringed in green
borrowed from the kitchen
some dye, so hole is seen.
Making my approach,
my grip has turned to ice,
The putter does it's own damned thing,
This AIN'T so very nice.
Oh… hells and bells, blooping game
Jiggered all the way
Oh what fun to dare to join,
this game of golf today.
*** (reprise if you wish)
Laughs replacing moans
Chucked clubs to be retrieved
Walking back to tee again
Somehow we seem relieved!
So we start again,
This time with great resolve
to show the world what ice golf is,
Antarctic sports evolve.
Wheee… Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Tinkle all the way,
oh what fun it is to have
our mates with us today.
*** (reprise etc)
Written by Annie B ( Craig D's Mum )
Christmas Day
Christmas time is always special, no matter where in the world you might be, and nowhere more than at Davis Station. The station goes through a lot of effort to make the day one to remember. A special thank you to the chefs Lesley, Gavin and Renato for their outstanding work in the kitchen and to all those that contributed on the day; the photo's give an indication of the day.
Davis research station had the pleasure of hosting five Russian scientists for Christmas dinner, the scientists were working in the field at a group of islands not that far from station. Language was a slight barrier but one scientist was actually named Nick and with Saint Nicholas being the Russian version of Santa Claus it was agreed by all parties to simply call them all "Nick". They had a wonderful time and after dinner they entertained us by singing some Russian songs.

Con-Con Movement Returns: Some Proponents of a Federal Constitutional Amendment to Protect Traditional Marriage Are Considering Calling for a Dangerous Constitutional Convention to Accomplish Their Goal
Detweiler, George, The New American
They're baaack--those pesky advocates of a constitutional convention. Following defeat of a federal constitutional amendment in the U.S. Senate to define marriage exclusively as a union of one man and one woman, talk began to circulate favoring a constitutional convention to accomplish the task. Leading the charge by convention advocates are Princeton Professor Robby George, Chuck Donovan of the Family Research Council, Frank Cannon, and Tony Perkins. Most convention proponents operate in oblivion of the dangers inherent in the convention process. Their focus is upon the remedy they seek for the perceived need, be it a marriage amendment, a balanced federal budget, a ban on flag burning, legislative reapportionment, or other items which have appeared on the shopping list of convention advocates over the decades.
Article V of the Constitution contains the procedure for amending that document: "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a convention for proposing Amendments."
Perils of a Constitutional Convention
Amendments are proposed either by Congress or by a convention called for that purpose by the action of two-thirds (34) of the legislatures of the states. The danger of using the latter process is that there is no effective way to control the convention once it begins its work. If a convention were called for the sole and exclusive purpose of proposing a definition-of-marriage amendment, the convention would be able to propose any kind and number of amendments it might choose; it could also utterly ignore the marriage amendment issue. Any topic would be on the table. It could change the republic into a monarchy, ridiculous as that suggestion sounds. It could formally place the United States under the total power of the UN. It could abolish the states. The only limits on the convention are in the minds of the delegates--self-restraint, which is no restraint at all. The point is universally lost on single-issue convention seekers, who fail to look, and therefore cannot see, beyond their own limited agendas.
A majority of the judges and scholars who have opined on the subject have declared that restraints and limitations contained in the resolutions of state legislatures which apply to Congress to call a convention are unenforceable and of no effect whatever. A legislative application for a convention for the sole purpose of securing a marriage amendment is treated as an application without limitation, thus ignoring the marriage amendment issue. The late Chief Justice of the United States, Warren Burger, wrote in a private letter in 1988:
I have also repeatedly given my opinion that there is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The Convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congress might try to limit the Convention to one amendment or to one issue, but there is no way to assure that the Convention would obey. After a Convention is convened, it will be too late to stop the Convention if we don't like its agenda.... A new Convention could plunge our Nation into constitutional confusion and confrontation at every turn, with no assurance that focus would be on the subjects needing attention. I have discouraged the idea of a Constitutional Convention, and I am glad to see states rescinding their previous resolutions requesting a Convention. In these [constitutional] Bicentennial years, we should be celebrating [the republic's] long life, not challenging its very existence.
Of like opinion was the late Associate Justice of the Supreme Court Arthur Goldberg, writing an op-ed piece for the Miami Herald in 1986:
A few people have asked, "Why not another constitutional convention? …

This can occur in vacation areas, and occasionally it is also found in neighborhoods that are primarily filled with college students, as some apartments could be vacant when school is not in session. If you live here year round, you may find that a number of buildings in your neighborhood are actually empty.

Abstract: We investigate the relationship between the decay at infinity of the right-hand side and solutions of an equation when is a second order elliptic operator on It is shown that when is Fredholm, inherits the type of decay of (for instance, exponential, or power-like). In particular, the generalized eigenfunctions associated with all the Fredholm eigenvalues of isolated or not, decay exponentially. No use is made of spectral theory. The result is next extended when is replaced by a Fredholm quasilinear operator. Various generalizations to other unbounded domains, higher order operators or elliptic systems are possible and briefly alluded to, but not discussed in detail.
