One of my great-granduncles, John Ernest Yuncker (1881-1962), was my paternal great-grandmother's younger brother. He is mentioned in his mother's 1921 obituary as living in Los Angeles, California. I had found him listed in the California death index years ago, but I never traced him further. I recently did so and I found that he made quite a name for himself and even had a brush with history.
In the late 1930's the Works Progress Administration (WPA) conducted property inventories of rural Michigan. This project was in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Treasury. I was able to locate the homestead of my great-grandparents, Joseph and Mary Voisin, near Beal City, Michigan. It is interesting to learn about their home and farm.
My fourth great-grandparents, John and Margaret Stewart, were two of the first settlers in what would eventually become Buffington Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. John Stewart married Margaret McFarland in 1788 and by 1796 they had a son, my third great-grandfather, James Stewart.
I describe here how I used records available at the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC)1 and Google Earth to pinpoint the location of the original Stewart homestead.

Another of my hobbies is shopping at garage sales and estate sales. It's fun to find little gizmos to fix up, clean up, and reuse. I especially like technology and mechanical items. Most people have no idea what many of these items are. That means no one else buys them. They are also very cheap, on the order of 25 cents for items that can retail for $10 to $50.
Sometimes I come across items of genealogical interest. I once bought a stack of hard-cover genealogy books for 50 cents each. Perhaps saddest are the old portraits of unnamed and unknown ancestors that probably graced many a farm house.
Today at an estate sale I noticed a banker's box on the top shelf marked "Genealogy." I thought boy oh boy, what treasures can I save from destruction and loss to hopefully find a better home. I anxiously brought the box down, set it carefully on another box, and lifted the cover. Oh no! Shreds upon shreds of paper, as if the contents had been through a paper shredder. A family of mice had at one time made their home in this box.
All of it ruined. Hand-written notes, Xeroxed copies of records and certificates. Nothing but strips and fragments. Nothing salvageable. It was obviously someone's careful work from the time before computers, when everything was done by hand.
The lesson: Store your genealogical paperwork in rodent-proof containers. Avoid attics and garages.
This is another post in a series about finding the ancestors of my paternal great-grandfather Joseph Voisin1 (1858-1916). This is a brick wall I haven't been able to get beyond for several years. Here I chip away a few more bricks from the wall in hopes of discovering a clue.
Perhaps you can help. If you found this post while searching the Internet, chances are there's something here that piqued your interest. That means you might know something I don't know. If so, please post a comment. No matter how small, most any information can provide a clue.
In this installment I'll remove four bricks from the wall. See also Bricks 1 through 10.

I've reached an impasse trying to find the ancestors of my paternal great-grandfather Joseph Voisin1 (1858-1916). It's a brick wall I haven't been able to get beyond for several years. If I remove one brick from the wall at a time, I may discover a clue.

Who would have thought the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) could answer questions about family history? I used NOAA to help solve a mystery about the immigration of my great-grandparents, Albert G. and Maria "Mary" (Pittner) Pohl.
Source Templates is a feature that some genealogy software programs now offer. When you create a citation to reference a source in your genealogy research, the source templates tool prompts you for the necessary information. You simply fill in the blanks, and it constructs the actual source citation. Citations are then complete, and in standard format.
But should you use Source Templates? I say No! The reason? Most if not all genealogy programs have yet to get their source templates feature working properly. Besides minor problems with formatting and punctuation, the most serious issue is: You will not be able to use your source citations outside of your genealogy program.
Part of the fun of genealogy is discovering your ancestors. And part of that process is uncovering old records like baptism and marriage records. One record leads to an older record, and so on back in time. What is the oldest record you have ever discovered related to an ancestor?
The most important aspect of organizing a collection of digitized photographs and documents is the naming convention used to reference each item.

It seems that fairy tales do come true. Once Upon A Time fans are cheering the new arrival of Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas' new baby boy. Better known as Snow White and Prince Charming on the hit fantasy series, the couple welcomed the new bundle of joy on Thursday, May 29.
The tike has yet to be named but his birth comes one day shy of the birthday of Goodwin and Dallas' onscreen grandson, Jared Gilmore. One can only speculate that if the baby had been born on Gilmore's birthday, his name might have been Jared or his character's name, Henry. Neal is also a possibility since Dallas and Goodwin's onscreen personas gave birth this year as well but that might be too much of life imitating art. For fun, they could nickname the baby Snoop since he'll be sippin' on 'Gin and Juice' for a while but that only works if they have an awesome sense of humor. If they really want to go the royal route, they could name him George, following the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, but really it's anybody's guess. One thing is for sure, this baby will live a charmed life no matter what he's called.
The proud parents wed over a month ago on April 12 in an intimate ceremony in Venice, CA. Now they will experience the fairy tale after the wedding and the baby. All the best to the new family!

Dr. Jason Burkhead
Assistant Professor
Research Interests
Transition metals such as copper, zinc and iron are essential to life. These metals are toxic in excess or when an organism's metal handling machinery is compromised. Dr. Jason Burkhead's research investigates the biology of metals, aiming to gain insight into mechanisms of essential metal acquisition and distribution as well as mechanisms and consequences of toxicity. Burkhead's research history includes work on phytoremediation, metal tolerance in plants, and copper delivery to plant photosynthetic machinery, and it is most recently focused on mammalian copper homeostasis.
Current Research Projects
Burkhead's current projects focus on regulation and toxicity of copper and utilize mammalian copper-associated liver disease as a starting point. One project aims to understand the cellular machinery and signaling mechanisms involved in copper export. A second project aims to understand the molecular targets and consequences of copper accumulation.

Guadalajara is Mexico's second biggest city, and in many respects can be considered the quintessential Mexican destination. This is the birthplace of mariachi music and tequila, but also one of the country's industrial and business centers, sometimes referred to as Mexico's Silicon Valley. Unlike many colonial cities that maintain their original town plan, in the 1950s Guadalajara underwent a major project that changed the face of the city. Older buildings were razed to allow for wide avenues with new constructions, underground parking lots and shopping centers. Fortunately, the most beautiful older buildings were left intact.
The most recognizable landmark on the Guadalajara skyline is the cathedral, in the heart of the city. Other main landmarks are Government Palace, the Rotondo de los Jaliscienses Ilustres monument, the Plaza de la Liberation, so named to commemorate Miguel Hidalgo's abolishment of slavery, the Degollado Theater, the Plaza Tapatio, Hospicio Cabanas—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and Plaza de los Mariachis.
Guadalajara has a humid subtropical climate that is quite close to a tropical climate, featuring dry, mild winters and warm, wet summers. Guadalajara's climate is influenced by its high altitude and the general seasonality of precipitation patterns in western North America. Average high temperature is 88 °F (or 31°C) and the average low is 54°F (or 12 °C).
The Guadalajara International Airport Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla (GDL) is located about 11 miles (17 km), south the Guadalajara City. Travel time from city center to airport is approximately 35 minutes.
Please visit http://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en for passenger's information, travelling tips, and FAQ.
The currency in Mexico is the Mexican Peso. The symbol is $ or Mex$. The average exchange rate is 13.2737 Mexican pesos per 1 USD as of January 2014.
Attendees are strongly advised to ensure they fulfill all legal requirements to enter Mexico.
Besides a valid passport, an entry visa and invitation letter may also be required.
SPE offers an official electronic invitation letter to assist you in the visa process upon registration confirmation. Create an official SPE invitation letter that you can print and use in obtaining a visa.
Note: It is the sole responsibility of the attendee to obtain the necessary paperwork for entry in to Mexico. This letter does not guarantee that you will be granted a visa, nor does it commit SPE to assist you in obtaining a visa. SPE will not pay any expenses incurred by you. We cannot send the letter to the embassy or consulate for you, nor can SPE contact the embassy or consulate on your behalf.

Successfully creating and jamming funk, soul, or hip hop music typically entails a wide array of instrumentalists. Horn sections, several guitarists, back-up vocalists, percussionists, and more ultimately tally up to large ensembles of undoubtedly talented entertainers, but that isn't always the case. When it comes to instrumentation, Syracuse all-around entertainers Sophistafunk have weaned that number down to three. Though the trio has never played a gig in southern California, on Tuesday, January 14, they will bring their own fusion of funk to Winstons in Ocean Beach.
What do you get when you cross a "nerdy white boy and a talented MC" with a downright dirty drummer? A dance party revival of cosmic future funk, all backed by sturdy breakbeats and intelligently upbeat wordplay. Adam Gold (keyboards, vocals), MC Jack, and Emmanuel Washington (percussion) compose the Syracuse trio out on the road in support of their 2013 album, Freedom Is.
"We're currently in Aurora, Colorado rolling along with a few ladies - gear in tow - en route to the west coast," said keyboardist Adam Gold. "Though this is our first time playing in southern California, we have been to central Cali in the past and it was very good to us."
Gold is referring to Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives host Guy Fieri, who featured the group in an episode focused on Gold's Syracuse restaurant and music venue, Funk 'n Waffles. Fieri was so impressed with the group that he hired them to play his birthday party in Santa Rosa, California in January of 2013.
"This exposure really put us in the spotlight," said Gold. "We appreciate him introducing us to a larger audience, especially in California."
Freedom Is, which was recorded at Moresound Studios in Syracuse, is quite the foray into a the past, yet extremely relevant in today's musical spectrum - shedding Top 40 trends for a more sophisticated and all-out soul dance party. With tracks like "Bruce Lee," and "Sex, Drugs, and Rock-n-roll," one could feel as though they were transported to the Parliament Funkadelic mothership at a mid-seventies Oakland show. The group has this amazing ability in creating such a full, bass-laden sound truly surprising the listener, who at first may believe them to be group of eight to ten musicians. "Gotta Walk" is a gritty yet lyrical thick track that is contrasted nicely with a slower, sweeter "Hard Enough." Ultimately, Sophistafunk knows how to stay in the pocket; when to pull back, when to plow forward, which is a tremendous talent in music.
"Tell all the folks in southern California to expect a 'big 'ole dance party'," said Gold. "We are doing with a three-piece what most full bands are doing. We also tour with bands of all varieties, and this has an outstanding effect on our live shows."
Gold also added that he wanted to bring this style of music out here because he feels the overall reception will be great. Ultimately, they just want everyone in the building to have a great time, and this will surely be the case at the Winstons show!
Sophistafunk will be playing at Winstons in Ocean Beach on Tuesday, January 14th. Tickets are $7 at the door (open @ 9:30pm).

When Mount Morris Talks! to Billy Hunter, he'll have a lot to say. And not just about the 2011 NBA lockout.
Sure, he's the Executive Director of the National Basketball Players Association, so he can talk about those 161 days that delayed the 2011-12 regular season and reduced it by 16 games.
But he can also talk about what it was like to play professional football with the NFL's Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins. About forming the first major sports union to represent female athletes. About being the very first African-American to compete in the Little League World Series Championship some 50+ years ago.
He can talk about organizing boycotts of Southern universities in the 60s and their segregated stadiums. About being one of the youngest United States Attorneys in history, leading the investigation and prosecution of members of Jim Jones' People's Temple, the Black Panther Party and the Hell's Angels.
He can talk about developing the preeminent high school basketball camp for the country's top 100 high school athletes with a professional career in their future, and programs for athletes post-NBA whose playing careers are in the past. He can talk about taking on a multi-billion dollar industry and about the Feeding One Million initiative.
And he can do it all from personal experience.
Join us at 6:30 PM, Thursday, February 9, in the Harlem Branch Library Community Room, 9 W 124 Street, for Mount Morris Talks! and you can meet G. William "Billy" Hunter himself, the man in the middle of some of the most fascinating circumstances of this century and the last, and our neighbor in Mount Morris Park.
Mount Morris Talks! is a series of conversations between the community and leaders, news makers, artists, authors and thinkers who live in the Harlem area. MMPCIA is proud to sponsor this series and offers it free of charge to the community.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
The View From Mrs. Sundberg's Window
Growing up is harder than learning how to fly
June 25, 2007
Listened to the show Saturday and it was not bad. I was a bit worn out, having spent the day getting the kids all set up for a week at camp, so the show was a welcome break from lists and laundry and packing. I fell asleep on the couch sometime before the sun set, and woke up around 3 a.m. thinking I'd overslept, and I hadn't, so I put away some dishes and ate a cookie bar, and climbed on upstairs to sleep a while longer.
Camp is only an hour away, but the drive there on Sunday afternoon seemed to go a bit quicker. The kids talked and talked, then argued a bit, then were silent as we got closer. They haven't been away this long before and I think it must have been a bit unsettling but they bucked up when we arrived and carried their own suitcases and sleeping bags and pillows to their bunkhouses after we got all registered.
There were swimming tests (they all passed so the big floating dock is an option, thank goodness) and we sat awhile and ate chocolate chip oatmeal cookies (not homemade but they did the trick) and I took a few pictures and then it was time. I gave Mr. Sundberg a look and he nodded and we hugged the kids and said goodbye and drove away waving and hollering, Have fun! See you Friday! They stood together and waved, then turned and ran off with their new friends while I kept on waving.
Summer camp gave me some of my best memories. It's where I met my friend Karen, who became my best friend in high school. I met a few boys there, too, and chased them around the woods at night with flashlights, and I first went skinny-dipping at summer camp. And I see now I learned there where my parents ended and where I began. Which is a good thing. And a bit of a sad thing, too, now that I'm the parent and the inevitable is unfolding. I'm supposed to teach them to live without me, and that's fine, and it's a good thing for the most part, but some small part of me wants to drive on over there and bring them home this very minute.
I won't do that, of course. This is free week for me and Mr. Sundberg. We've got work to catch up on and I was hoping to do some shopping and paint the bedroom and invite some friends over for a cookout. And I plan to take several long hot baths and sleep in a morning or two. We'll go get the kids Friday morning, and they'll have stories and the routine will pick up again and it won't be long before I'm wishing they'd find a friend and go play somewhere.
Until then, I'll think of them pretty often and wonder about the looks on their faces as they approach the obstacle course and choose between a brat and a burger and help build a bonfire for s'more-making and singing. I remember my mother said once, quoting Peter Pan, that growing up is harder than learning how to fly. One requires truth; the other, fairy dust.
Funny how so much of what my mother told me when I was a kid made so much more sense later on. Like I had to have my own kids to really get it. And I do.

Lair Claims Little Rock Loot; Takes $9,000 in 600 Nationals
Martin Best in Horizon Mini Sprints
Lonnie Wheatley, LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (March 13, 2010) – Jason Lair took the $9,000 winner's share back to the Sooner State by racing to victory lane in I-30 Speedway's Fourth Annual 600 Nationals presented by Hoosier Tires 40-lap championship main event on Saturday night.
The Del City, OK, racer outdueled Pennsylvania's Heath Hehnly and Louisiana's Dustin Gates in the early rounds and then held off Gates over the closing stages to become the third different winner of the prestigious Micro Sprint Car racing event atop the high-banked, ¼-mile I-30 Speedway clay oval.
West Plains, Missouri's Logan Martin also cracked victory lane during the night, earning $1,000 by topping the Third Annual Landers Harley-Davidson Horizon Mini Sprint 25-lap main event.
After running one-two in the Dash for Cash, preliminary feature winners Hehnly and Lair started the feature event side-by-side on the front row.
Hehnly held a slight advantage at the outset with Lair and Gates both applying heavy pressure. Lair eventually battled into the lead on the tenth round, with Gates matching him move for move.
Gates kept the pressure on throughout, even sliding ahead of Lair on several occasions. Lair was up to the task however, keeping the No. 23T mount in front over the final rounds to take the checkered flag of Joe Clay, Jr., with Gates settling for runner-up honors.
While Lair and Gates battled up front, the battle for position in their wake was fierce throughout the entire 40-lapper. By race's end, tenth-starter Michael McNeil of Alvin, TX, had worked up to the show position, with Pennsylvania's Jake Murphy and Texas' Tyson Hall rounding out the top five.
Tom Kohler was sixth, with 14th-starter Kevin Bayer, Hehnly, Shane Lewis and 20th-starter Ryan Duke completing the top ten. Tim Crawley earned Hard Charger honors by racing from 23rd to eleventh.
The race's first caution flew after 18 laps when Darien Roberts spun into an infield tire, bringing an early end to his race. A lap later, the yellow flag flew again when two-time 600 Nationals champion Travis Senter, Jr., and Michael Dicely got together in turn four while battling amongst the top five. Senter exited to the pit area with battery woes, while Dicely returned from that spin only to be collected in a wild lap 28 frontstretch melee in which Austin Farley and Karlas Stephens both got upside down. That incident also sent Christopher Meyer to the pit area with race-ending damage.
Jake Mosley was running a strong third and hounding the leaders when his mount lost power on the 23rd circuit.
In the Horizon Mini Sprint Main event, Logan Martin held off the race-long advances of Karley Kay Dobson to take the winner's hardware. While she slid past Martin a couple of times along the way, Dobson settled for runner-up honors at the stripe with Justin Peck, Nic Jenkins and Chance Morton rounding out the top five.

It's the beginning of the month and the beginning of the holiday season……time to re-group and plan out a strategy.
It seems the holidays roll by faster and faster every year. It is a whirlwind from Halloween to New Years. My work gets extremely busy as we try to push everything so we can get stuff finished and out of China before Chinese New Year. It's also the hardest time to try and lose weight. From here on out there is junk food everywhere. Everybody wants it out of their houses after parties and it ends up in the office. It's a common dilemma. It's not unique. It's even not that hard to avoid as long as you plan ahead. So here I am planning my strategy to get through until Jan 6. Why Jan 6 you ask because that is when the madness stops and it seems everybody clears the junk out. My workload will still be heavy but all the parties and revelries will have stopped and the leftovers will no longer be donated to the lunchroom.
No don't get me wrong I LOVE this time of year. I love spending time with family and friends. I just want Jan 5 to come and be the exact same weight as I am today. I decided this year to be realistic in my goal. I'm also realistic in that to meet my goal, I have to move my body and only indulge on occasion. Like at events….. .So brown bagging lunch and snacks daily will help prevent the "eating what so and so brought since I don't really have time to get something healthy" syndrome.
I am trying to be true to my goal. HEALTH!!! Since it is about being healthier in body and mind……No more unrealistic goals. I need balance in my life. Balance in my diet, balance in my relationships, balance in my work, and balance in my exercise…… ….
Have you ever looked at a blog and realized you are writing to yourself? I needed to get this down on paper. I need to be healthy to care for those around me and to care for myself. I like the fact that I am working towards having a piece of cake and it not ruin all the hard work I've done so far. That it stops at that piece of cake.
So my strategy until the end of the year…..plan….plan….plan……plan my exercise in …….plan my meals……plan in the event indulgences so they don't ruin the hard work…….the word for the next 2 months P-L-A-N!!!! I think I got it. I need to plan out my days to succeed. It's one of those things we all know we need to plan, yet we forget to actually do it.
I leave you now to go and PLAN my tomorrow………

I also think that years are rolling faster every year!
I like your word for the end of the year, and maybe for 2014! Plan your days and write it down on paper, calendar, stickers whatever it takes to stay true to it.

Ten delicious cocktails that clock in at a diet-friendly 216 calories or fewer, plus tips on making four of your favorite drinks healthier.
Instead of sugar, The Red Cat's Conway relies on spicy pepper to mask the bitter taste of tequila, so a little of this drink goes a long way. It also contains 46 fewer calories than a typical frozen margarita.
Calories: 122
½ pepper (a habanero if you dare, but a jalapeño or Thai chile would work, too), cut into quarter-inch slices
2 cups tequila
½ ounce low-calorie triple sec
2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice
Lime wedge, for garnish
Drop the pepper slices into the tequila; leave overnight. Strain, and pour 1½ ounces of the mixture over ice. Stir in the triple sec and juice.
Diluting the sparkling Italian wine Prosecco with calorie-free soda water takes nothing away from this cocktail, thanks to the herbaceous and citrusy notes in the sugar syrup. This drink, created by New York City nutritionist Marissa Lippert, RD, author of The Cheater's Diet, comes in at 33 fewer calories than a six-ounce glass of Prosecco.
Calories: 87
1 cup sugar
½ cup mint leaves, loosely packed
¾ teaspoon dried lavender
3 strips lemon peel, removed with a vegetable peeler
4 ounces Prosecco, chilled
Club soda, chilled
Lemon twist and mint sprig, for garnish
Make simple syrup: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water, the sugar, mint, lavender and lemon peel to a simmer until all the sugar is dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool, then strain through a sieve, discarding the solids. You can refrigerate the syrup for up to two weeks and use in other drinks or desserts. For this drink: Place Prosecco in a wineglass. Add 1½ teaspoons simple syrup. Top off with club soda.
This drink, by Anderson of Frasca Food and Wine, stars hibiscus tea, which has been linked to lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Calories: 216
2 ounces cold hibiscus tea (see below)
5 raspberries, plus more for garnish
¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
1½ ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
1½ ounces platatequila (silver tequila)
1 ounce light agave syrup
To make the tea: Add either 1 heaping tablespoon dried hibiscus tea leaves or 2 hibiscus tea bags to 16 ounces cold water; steep for 20 minutes. To make the drink: In a cocktail shaker, muddle the raspberries and peppercorns. Add the tea, lime juice, tequila and agave syrup. Shake and strain. Pour over ice in a highball glass.
For this cocktail, Floyd Cardoz of North End Grill in New York City uses cucumbers, reputed to reduce water retention, a useful counter to the puffy faces some of us get after drinking.
Calories: 148
3 ¼-inch slices English cucumber
3 ¼-inch slices slender green chile (for added heat and spice, don't remove the seeds)
4 sprigs fresh cilantro
1¾ ounces Plymouth Gin
½ ounce fresh lime juice
½ ounce simple syrup (dissolve
1 cup sugar in 1 cup water)
Slice of cucumber, mild green pepper cut lengthwise and cilantro sprig, for garnish
In a cocktail shaker, combine the cucumber, chile and cilantro; muddle well. Add ice, the gin, lime juice and syrup, then shake vigorously until shaker is frosted on the outside. Strain mixture into an ice-filled rocks glass.
Grapefruit has long been thought to help burn excess fat in the body; although that's probably a myth, the fruit does have tons of flavonoids (an antioxidant), as does this drink, from Allison Anderson, bar manager of Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder, Colorado.
Calories: 149
1½ ounces grapefruit juice
1 ounce Cocchi Americano (an aperitif)
½ ounce honey syrup (made with ½ teaspoon each honey and water)
1½ ounces botanical-style gin (for instance, Hendrick's)
Grapefruit twist or mint sprig, for garnish
Combine all ingredients except twist; shake, and serve in a chilled martini glass.

This drink was concocted by Trace Conway, bartender at New York City's The Red Cat restaurant. With some no-cal ingredients and slimmed-down vodka, it contains 60 fewer calories than a five-ounce Long Island iced tea.
Calories: 107
2 sprigs fresh mint
1 packet Splenda
2 ounces Voli Lyte (reduced-calorie vodka)
2½ ounces brewed and chilled tea (we used Darjeeling, but you can use your favorite)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Muddle the mint and Splenda, then add the vodka, tea and lemon juice. Pour over ice in a tumbler.
Two ounces of Voli Lyte vodka has 96 calories (versus 128 for standard vodka), slimming down this martini, by mixologist Katie Mulholland of David Burke Kitchen in New York City.
Calories: 173
10 blueberries
5 mint leaves
2 ounces Voli Lyte vodka
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon agave syrup
Club soda
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the blueberries and mint. Add ice, the vodka, lime juice and agave syrup; shake well. Strain into a glass. Top off with club soda.

One of this drink's liqueurs is made from antioxidant-packed açaí, and the other from ginger, which has anti-inflammatory properties. The cocktail was created by Mary Edes, beverage director and general manager at Coppa in Boston.
Calories: 211
1 ounce Veev açaí liqueur
1 ounce Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
1 ounce grapefruit juice
1 teaspoon blueberry preserves
2 mint leaves
Mint sprig, for garnish
Combine all ingredients except the mint sprig in a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously; serve on the rocks in a short glass.

Dietary sources seem to work better than supplements at fending off some effects of aging. The carrot juice in this drink, by Kevin Diedrich, bar manager at Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen in San Francisco, is a lively way to add to your anti-aging arsenal.
Calories: 132
1 ounce Royal Combier
2 ounces carrot juice
1 ounce ginger beer
½ ounce lemon juice
2 dashes angostura bitters
Lemon wheel, for garnish
Combine all ingredients except the lemon wheel; shake, and pour over ice in a rocks glass.
This refreshing drink was cocreated by Naren Young, bar manager, and Linden Pride, general manager, of Saxon + Parole in New York City.
Calories: 135
1½ ounces Absolut vodka, infused with garlic (see below)
5 ounces V8 juice (or make your own with tomatoes, carrots and celery)
½ teaspoon tomato paste
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 dashes green Tabasco
2 dashes red Tabasco
Good pinch of salt and celery salt
Grind of black pepper
½ teaspoon horseradish
To make the infused vodka: Steep 1 garlic clove in 2 cups vodka overnight. Strain, and pour 1½ ounces of the mixture into a cocktail shaker. Add remaining ingredients; shake very well. Pour into an ice-filled highball glass.
Cut fat and preserve flavor by replacing the cream with sweetened almond milk (3 grams of fat per ¾-cup serving) and a dash of vanilla extract.

A cup of OJ equals about 110 calories and 22 grams of sugar. The juice of one lemon, by contrast, yields roughly 12 calories and is so intense in flavor, you don't need very much to make an impact. Dilute the juice with water to fill the glass, then add some stevia to make up for the lost sweetness.

Coconut milk contains about 360 calories (and 32 grams of saturated fat!) per cup. Make the switch to coconut water (45 calories per cup) and save the caloric equivalent of a slice of pizza.

Ever since its release in 1939, Gone with the Wind has become a standard for what movie-making should be. It has retained its wholesome image as an expressive, classic motion picture and American Civil War "documentary" due to its extraordinary organization of the original novel's many elements, diverse cast, and excellent production. The plot itself has much to offer, with resonating qualities and the deep timbres of its themes. The moment the main characters were cast, however, was when this war film was set as an exceptional cinematic presentation. It doesn't matter if the viewer has any personal interest in the events of the Civil War or the slavery abolition movement. When Vivien Leigh marches onscreen as Scarlet O'Hara, a spell is still cast even after all these years. In fact, from Clark Gable as Rhett Butler to Olivia de Havilland as Melanie Hamilton, Gone with the Wind is worth its weight in gold for its fabulous (and eccentric) characters as well as the performances that made them iconic. Scarlet O'Hara is a female protagonist unequalled in all of literature; Leigh makes her an unforgettable one.
Moreover, aside from the personalized side stories, Gone with the Wind has an unparalleled overview of the Civil War and its after-effects from a Southern point of view, i.e. Confederate. The movie displays how the South was overturned and pillaged by the North for personal gain and profit, not for the abolition movement. The film is understanding and sympathetic, acknowledging the injustice in slavery per se but still showing how the Confederacy formed and what it stood for. Through a mask of selfish concern for her vulnerability and insecurity, Scarlet strong-mindedly pulls the audience through the history that changes her life and steepens her personality. The many climaxes and downfalls in Gone with the Wind are only worth seeing together or not at all, even in the face of continual tragedy. The small victories in the story and the power of this impressive, colorful spectacle simultaneously re-creates the impact of the Civil War's on history and the future while depicting a great spark of humanity in full visual glory.
Gone with the Wind is available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc wherever movies are sold in Fresno and online; it can also be rented for free from local libraries.

Debian Weekly News - July 8th, 2003
Martin Schulze <joey <at> infodrom.org>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Weekly News http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2003/27/ Debian Weekly News - July 8th, 2003 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to this year's 27th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for the Debian community. A Professor from the University of Göttingen [1]questioned the enforcability of the GPL in Germany while the German [2]Institute for Legal Issues on Free and Open Source Software [3]analysed the study and discovered several flaws. The City of Austin, in Texas, USA, became one of the latest governments to [4]try out Linux. And some big companies are [5]collaborating to use Linux in consumer electronics devices. 1. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/02/0245228 2. http://www.ifross.de/ 3. http://www.ifross.de/ifross_html/home1_2003.html 4. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6974&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 5. http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/2229991 Comments on GNOME 2 Transition. Drew Scott Daniels posted a [6]summary about the status of the GNOME 2 transition. Christian Marillat [7]reported that GNOME 2 packages are finally in testing and that some missing packages will follow soon. 6. http://lists.debian.org/debian-release-0307/msg00003.html 7. http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome-0306/msg00173.html Removing RFC from Documentation. Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña [8]asked that RFCs be removed from packages in the main (free) Debian distribution. Since the doc-rfc packages have been moved to non-free, he had cloned the respective [9]bug and assigned it to other packages which provide RFCs. For a full list please see the the bug report. However, it seems that some RFCs might be DFSG-free, probably the earliest. Package maintainers should contact the [10]Internet Society on their own. 8. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0307/msg00000.html 9. http://bugs.debian.org/92810 10. http://www.isoc.org/ Debian for non-profit Organisations. Mako Hill [11]announced a new sub-project named [12]Debian for non-profit organisations. The goal is to put together a sub-distribution that fulfills their needs. If they are large and technically involved enough to need their own server, they probably already use GNU/Linux. However in day-to-day operations most use proprietary operating systems. Unlike many groups of users where advocacy is an uphill battle, many non-profits *want* to use GNU/Linux on their workstations but are waiting for someone to "make it easy for them." This sub-project wants to do just this. 11. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0307/msg00002.html 12. http://nonprofit.debian.net/ Debian Menu Encoding Support. Bill Allombert [13]announced that it is now possible to select the encoding used to write files generated by menu in a menu-method, i.e. for a window manager. Bill said that it is very important that all menu methods get fixed to include an encoding setting. This will allow menu translations to be activated by default. 13. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0307/msg00004.html Bug #200000: Using gettext for Debconf. Michel Grentzinger opened [14]Bug #200000 and requested that the package in question switches to using gettext for debconf templates. This bug repport underlines the [15]efforts of the localization teams, mostly French and Brazillian, which actively submit bug reports and patches to help maintainers move to the po-debconf format. 14. http://bugs.debian.org/200000 15. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0303/msg00001.html But which Distribution? Charles Arthur of the "The Independent" a UK national broadsheet wrote an [16]article concerning GNU/Linux for novices. He opted for Debian because the penguin on the box looked friendly, but haven't glanced through the documentation and stumbled into the text-oriented installer. Oh, and even worse, a commandline seemed to be a bad thing for him. Maybe Debian is not useful for everybody. 16. http://news.independent.co.uk/digital/features/story.jsp?story=420948 Interview with Russell Coker. Sam Varghese from The Age has [17]interviewed Russell Coker. Russell is among those who have made a sterling contribution to the NSA's SE Linux project. Russell talks about how he became affiliated with computers, his work on Debian and SE Linux and e.g. how people from the Free Software community are hired. 17. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/07/02/1056825450368.html Licenses for Documentation. Emma Jane Hogbin [18]received [19]feedback that her choice of the [20]GNU Free Documentation License (FDL) for a howto that she wrote may not be free according to the [21]Debian Free Software Guidlines (DFSG). She does not intend to use invariant sections, so could not see why there would be a problem. Brian Nelson [22]pointed out that Anthony Towns' [23]proposal views the FDL as DFSG-free if invariant sections are not used. 18. http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc-0307/msg00003.html 19. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-0307/msg00011.html 20. http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html 21. http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines 22. http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc-0307/msg00009.html 23. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0304/msg00246.html Benefits of the OASIS Membership. Mark Johnson [24]explained the benefits of membership of the [25]Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). It gives Debian representation at one of the major XML-related standards bodies, and makes Debian the only GNU/Linux distribution with a voice there. For example, Mark and Ardo van Rangelrooij are on the Entity Resolution Technical Committee, which is presently working on the XML Catalogs specification. However, very few Debian Developers have chosen to take advantage of the OASIS membership and Mark is raising funds to cover the membership fee. 24. http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc-0307/msg00006.html 25. http://www.oasis-open.org/ Support for NEWS.Debian now available. Joey Hess [26]announced that thanks to Matt Zimmerman and Joe Drew, apt-listchanges will now display NEWS.Debian entries for upgraded packages. These are displayed before the regular changelog entries, and Matt plans to later let it be configured to only display news, if the user wants (more useful for users of stable). The NEWS.Debian file is installed as /usr/share/doc/≤package>/NEWS.Debian.gz. It is always compressed and always with that name. 26. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0307/msg00286.html Debian Mini-Distribution for Diskless Routers. Vadim Berkgaut [27]announced a new [28]project with the goal of making Debian boot from flash and work from a filesystem in memory. It produces a boot wrapper for Debian that is intended for diskless routers. The project features Debian woody (stable) with some packages from sarge (testing) to add support for 2.5 kernels. It boots in two stages: first a script from initrd copies the root filesystem from flash to tmpfs and makes tmpfs the new root, then init runs as usual. Vadim would welcome feedback and comments. 27. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0307/msg00278.html 28. http://gate-bunker.p6.msu.ru/~berk/router.html Finalising the DDP Policy. Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña [29]proposed that the draft [30]Debian Documentation Project Policy be published on the Debian website. Noone has spoken against the document that Javier presented as a proposal and questions about licensing and documentation seem to come up often. This would give the document a wider audience, and with help Javier may be able to remove the draft status of the document. 29. http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc-0307/msg00017.html 30. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ddp-policy/ Debian at Conferences in Europe. Debian [31]announced that several developers will meet in Metz, France, on July 9th - 12th at the [32]Libre Software Meeting. On July 10th - 13th many developers and users will attend [33]LinuxTag in Karlsruhe, Germany, where they will staff a booth and maintain a one-day [34]conference and give additional talks. After this, on July 18th - 19th, a lot of Debian developer will meet at this years' [35]Debian Conference in Oslo, Norway, which is preceded by a [36]hacking session. 31. http://www.debian.org/News/2003/20030706 32. http://www.debian.org/events/2003/0709-lsm 33. http://www.debian.org/events/2003/0710-linuxtag 34. http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/events/LinuxTag2003/day.html 35. http://www.debian.org/events/2003/0718-debconf 36. http://www.debconf.org/debconf3/debcamp.php Explanation for the FDL Issue. Michael Crawford [37]summarised why the Debian community has decided that the [38]GNU Free Documentation License is not actually a free license at all, and is starting work to remove GFDL-licensed work from its main distribution. Such will only be available in non-free, which some people never install out of principle and CDROM vendors cannot distribute in whole because the licenses on some packages forbid it. 37. http://www.advogato.org/article/682.html 38. http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html Guide to GNU/Linux Desktop Survival. Graham Williams book [39]Guide to GNU/Linux Desktop Survival was [40]introduced on OSNews.com as "Good Debian desktop survival guide that covers all the major applications a user would need." The aim of this book is to rapidly get the reader going with GNU/Linux and to deliver a fun and productive environment. It guides him through the many different regions of a GNU/Linux system with a focus on getting the desktop environment to do what he wants. 39. http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/index.html 40. http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=3951 Status of KDE for Sarge. Drew Scott Daniels [41]wondered about the status of KDE and its entry into sarge (testing). He noticed that there are a few release critical [42]bugs in kdelibs, although work on kdelibs seems to be [43]proceeding. Tomas Pospisek [44]advised that some issues have been resolved, but that work on kdelibs is becoming a problem because of the huge time it takes to compile. He wondered if kdelibs would fall apart, since probably not many people are able to afford compiling, running, and testing the current CVS version. 41. http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde-0306/msg00278.html 42. http://bugs.debian.org/src:kdelibs 43. http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde-0306/msg00132.html 44. http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde-0306/msg00283.html Security Updates.

 The names of 98 of Lorain County`s own were among the more than 58,000 read this week near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The memorial, referenced as the most-visited memorial in the country, contains the names of every U.S. soldier killed during the Vietnam War and celebrates its 25th anniversary Tuesday.
For some, like Vietnam veteran Joe Horvath of Lorain, visiting the more than
490-foot-long black granite wall can be overwhelming.
Horvath, 61, a recipient of the Silver Star medal and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with a Bronze Star, kept quiet about his military service for more than 40 years and only opened up recently about his past upon the completion of the Lorain County Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
"When we came back from the war, we weren`t treated right," Horvath said. "I`ve had people ask me if I served, and I`d tell them 'no.` Telling people would only result in an argument or a fight."
Horvath enlisted in 1968 with his best friend, Edgar La Torre, after both graduated from Admiral King High School in Lorain.
They entered basic training together but were split up in combat. They stayed connected through letters, but four months after entering combat, Horvath knew something was wrong.
La Torre had been killed, but everyone was afraid to tell Horvath.
"I stopped getting letters from him," Horvath said. "Everybody at home knew, but they didn`t want to worry me. My brother wrote me because he thought I should know."
Horvath returned to Lorain following the war and made a promise to La Torre`s mother to take care of her son`s grave.
So every Veterans Day, he makes a trip to Calvary Cemetery in Lorain to clean his friend`s headstone and to honor him by placing combat boots, an inverted rifle and a helmet next to the grave.
The gesture was always something Horvath has done in secret, but the unveiling of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Amherst gave him the pride to tell his story.
"It changed everything for me," Horvath said. "I was going to take all this stuff to the grave with me, but the memorial has really opened the eyes of a lot of people. I`m glad to see it."
Don Attie, a member of the Lorain County Vietnam Veterans Committee, estimates that hundreds of people have stopped by the county memorial.
"There seems to be somebody there every day," Attie said. "I`ve received cards and e-mails from people from all over the country who have stopped in Amherst to pay their respects."
Horvath said the memorial couldn`t have come at a better time for him and his fallen comrades.
"It`s an honor to have something like that close by," he said. "I knew a lot of those guys. It was the right thing to do."

The wild Olympics qualification ride for Team USA's snowboard halfpipe and slopestyle athletes has finally ended. The USSA federation announced on Sunday the selection of 13 snowboarders for the Sochi Olympics. These nominations are expected to be approved by the U.S. Olympic Committee later this month.
These athletes made the cut by competing in a series of five USSA qualification events. From the opening Dew Tour contest in mid-December, through the final pressure cooker Sprint U.S. Grand Prix finale in Mammoth Lakes, CA this weekend, all were trained on qualifying for the Sochi Olympics.
While some Olympic medalists sealed the deal once more, many rising newcomers also nabbed a spot on Team USA. This "old guard" was challenged at each of the five events by a new breed of young guns, intent on dethroning the veterans.
Heady Halfpipe Competition
Two-time Olympics medalists Shaun White, Kelly Clark, and Hannah Teter relied on their experience and composure to withstand the no-holds-barred style of their protégés who threatened to upend them. In fact, Teter was on the bubble as of the final event on Sunday – only earning the nod based on coaches' discretion, bolstered by her last minute breakout runs this weekend. Vancouver Olympian Greg Bretz relied on his early season success to withstand late-breaking charges by such sport newcomers as Ben Ferguson and Matt Ladley.
Also nabbing spots on this "Sochi Express" Team USA train to the Olympics are siblings Arielle and Taylor Gold. In the last year, these underdogs have risen through the ranks to challenge the best the U.S. has to offer.
Because of this influx of new blood into the ranks, two other Olympics medaling boarders Gretchen Bleiler and Scotty Lago surprisingly missed the cut. Further, Vancouver Olympian and fan-favorite Louie Vito also failed to qualify.
Halfpipe Nominations - Men
Greg Bretz, Mammoth Lakes, CA (12/19/1990)
Danny Davis, Truckee, CA (6/22/1988)
Taylor Gold, Steamboat Springs, CO (11/17/1993)
Shaun White, Carlsbad, CA (9/3/1986)
Halfpipe Nominations – Women
Kelly Clark, W. Dover, VT (7/26/1983)
Kaitlyn Farrington, Sun Valley, ID (12/18/1989)
Arielle Gold, Steamboat Springs, CO (5/4/1996)
Hannah Teter, Belmont, VT (1/27/1987)
Steady Slopestyle Competition
While halfpipe has been contested in the Winter Olympics since 1998, the newly added slopestyle has opened the door for a new breed of athlete. Progressing from their local terrain parks all the way to this inaugural Olympics showcase are five athletes.
Shaun White, who challenged himself to qualify in both events for the Olympics, led the way by taking top honors in two of the five qualifications.
"Juggling the two was out of hand. But, it is everything I could have hoped for," said White in an NBC interview.
Jamie Anderson, proving her dominance and solidifying her chances at gold in Sochi, ruled the ranks by winning four of the five events.
The other three boarders sealed the deal by finishing at the top of all American competitors in two or more competitions.
Slopestyle Nominations – Men
Sage Kotsenburg, Park City, UT (7/27/1993)
Chas Guldemond, Reno, NV (4/22/1987)
Shaun White, Carlsbad, CA (9/3/1986)
Slopestyle Nominations – Women
Jamie Anderson, S. Lake Tahoe, CA (9/13/1990)
Ty Walker, Stowe, VT (3/03/1997)
Additional slopestyle spots may soon be announced – pending additional quota spots being allocated to the United States. Female boarders Karly Shorr, Jessika Jenson, and Jordie Karlinski are on the bubble, along with males Ryan Stassel and Brandon Davis.

(NewDesignWorld Press Center) - Dopamine receptor deficiency leads to significant brain changes in response to drinking
Many studies have suggested that genetic differences make some individuals more susceptible to the addictive effects of alcohol and other drugs. Now scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory provide the first experimental evidence to directly support this idea in a study in mice reported in the October 19, 2010, issue of Alcoholism Clinical Experimental Research.
The study compared the brain's response to long-term alcohol drinking in two genetic variants of mice. One strain lacked the gene for a specific brain receptor known as dopamine D2, which responds to dopamine, the brain's "feel good" chemical, to produce feelings of pleasure and reward. The other strain was genetically normal. In the dopamine-receptor-deficient mice (but not the genetically normal strain), long-term alcohol drinking resulted in significant biochemical changes in areas of the brain well know to be involved in alcoholism and addiction.
"This study shows that the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on brain chemistry are critically influenced by an individual's pre-existing genetic makeup," said lead author Panayotis (Peter) Thanos, a neuroscientist with Brookhaven Lab and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Laboratory of Neuroimaging. "Our findings may help explain how someone's genetic profile can interact with the environment — in this case, chronic alcohol drinking — to produce these changes only in some individuals, but not in others with a less vulnerable genetic profile. The work supports the idea that genetic screening could provide individuals with valuable information relevant to understanding risks when deciding whether or not to consume alcohol."
The scientists were particularly interested in the dopamine system because a wide range of studies at Brookhaven and elsewhere suggest that deficiency in dopamine D2 receptors may make people (and animals) less able to experience ordinary pleasures and more vulnerable to alcoholism, drug abuse, and even obesity. The ability to breed mice completely lacking the D2 gene — and carefully control and monitor their alcohol intake — made it possible to test the effect of this genetic influence on the brain's response to chronic alcohol drinking for the first time in this study.

The scientists studied mice lacking the dopamine D2 gene and genetically normal mice, all males. They divided these groups further, giving half of each group only water to drink, and the other half a solution of 20 percent ethanol to simulate heavy drinking.
After six months, the scientists compared the levels of a different kind of brain receptor known as cannabinoid type 1 (CB1) in various parts of the brain in all four groups. CB1 receptors are located near dopamine receptors and are also known to play a role in alcohol consumption and addiction. Many findings indicate that the two types of receptors may influence one another.
In the current study, the scientists found that water-drinking animals without D2 receptors had increased, or up-regulated, levels of CB1 receptors in brain regions associated with addiction, compared with water-drinking normal control animals. "That may mean that active D2 receptors in normal mice somehow inhibit the expression of the CB1 gene; and therefore, the absence of D2 leads to increased CB1 expression," Thanos said.
Chronic alcohol consumption, however seemed to negate this effect: D2-deficient mice that drank alcohol showed about half the CB1 levels compared to the D2-deficient water drinkers.
"We observed an up-regulation of CB1 in D2-deficient mice that was reversed by chronic ethanol intake," Thanos said. "This down-regulation of CB1 after alcohol intake in the D2-deficient animals could underlie the lower reinforcing effects of ethanol in these mice," he added.
Individuals experiencing lower-than-normal reinforcement, or reward, in response to a drug may be more likely than those experiencing a normal response to seek out further stimulation of the brain's reward centers by continued or increasing use of the drug.
To test this hypothesis, future research will explore the effects of CB1 down-regulation on animals' drinking behavior when given a choice between alcohol and water. The scientists will also conduct similar studies in female mice to investigate the role of gender on the observed findings.
"Further research on the relationship and interaction between genetic makeup and environment will help us better understand the chronic disease of addiction in terms of a series of risk factors that may elevate a person's vulnerability. This information will be imperative to the public and will help people make more informed decisions about their behaviors," Thanos said.
This research was funded by NIAAA. In addition to Thanos, who is jointly supported by Brookhaven Lab and NIAAA, co-authors include: Vanessa Gopez, Foteini Delis, and Gene-Jack Wang of Brookhaven Lab; Michael Michaelides of Brookhaven and Stony Brook University; David K. Grandy of Oregon Health and Science University; George Kunos and Nora Volkow, researchers from NIAAA.
All research involving laboratory animals at Brookhaven National Laboratory is conducted under the jurisdiction of the Lab's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee in compliance with the Public Heath Service (PHS) Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal Welfare Act, and the National Academy of Sciences' Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. This research has enhanced understanding of a wide array of human medical conditions including cancer, drug addiction, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and normal aging and has led to the development of several promising treatment strategies.
