Is the Name of Kalisi Helping or Hurting You?
All names are not equal. The names you use create your life experiences.
Find out how all the names you use and the energy they create have shaped your life in
free Name and Birth Date Report. Life can be better, find out how.
Your name of Kalisi gives you a strong urge for independence. From early in life, you have asserted your individuality, learning through your own experiences, relying upon your ingenuity and practical creativity to accomplish your objectives. Once you get an idea, you forge ahead, despite obstacles, until you reach the end of your project. Nothing intimidates you once you make up your mind. You find your own solutions and innovations to get a job done, without relying on encouragement or assistance from others.
Your name often makes you feel separate and alone. You recognize your difficulty conveying emotional sentiments such as sympathy or compliments, even though you are aware of what is required. You can express yourself with greater ease in writing. In conversation, you prefer to use as few words as possible and often choose silence rather than idle chatter. As a result, others finding you to be somewhat severe, aloof, and uncommunicative, withdraw from you. You have known misunderstandings and a tendency to jealousy and moods of depression. Under circumstances when others are expressive, you feel inferior because of your inability to communicate your deeper thoughts and feelings. Yet, when they get to know you, they realize you are loyal in your friendships and would go to any length to help someone in need. You are not easily influenced by the opinions and actions of others and therefore can be depended upon for assistance.
You are a physically active person, with an appreciation for outdoor recreation, either on your own or with one or two close friends who share the same affinity for the peace of nature and the physical challenges it provides. Investigating and studying various aspects of nature, for example, as an astronomer or naturalist, appeal to your own desire to seek an understanding of life.
You are neither sentimental nor idealistic. You take life as it comes, learning as you go. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. You prefer the simple life, and are content to forego the comforts and amenities that many people regard as essential. Usually, you would prefer to develop your own business or work for someone who appreciates your strengths and personal qualities. You work best where you can combine physical labour with mental activity with a preference for work where you can spend time outdoors.
The health weaknesses due to the influence of this name cause you to suffer either with headaches, weak eyes, sinus problems, lung and bronchial disorders such as asthma or emphysema, or a heart condition.
Do You Want Something Better?
You have a unique inner potential. With your first breath, a spiritual essence and purpose became a part of you and gave you life, caused your heart to beat, and your systems to work, and activated your physical growth. Your particular date of birth determines your unique core purpose, the reason for your life, and the pathway you should follow for ultimate happiness.
Whether your inner potential fully expresses depends upon the names you use!
Are the Names You Use Holding You Back?
Find out how your life is influenced by all the names you have used. We will analyze your unique inner potential from your date of birth and the names you use in your free Name and Birth Date Report:
- Mental/personality strengths and weaknesses
- Material and financial success

I've been quilting since 1998 and creating patterns and teaching since the early 2000's. I just love fabric and the process of putting the quilt together. Happy Quilting... Tracy ReebView all patterns by designer (11) »
I wanted a quilt for my son. I used homespun fabric and it is perfect for a guy and I'm sure a girl would also enjoy it. I used black for the centers, but any color to compliment your fat quarters is good. This quilt will help you whittle down your stash or you will have fun shopping for all those fat quarters. It's easy to cut and easy and fun to sew.

Checks & Becks
Editor's Note: While our resident pundit-golf photographer was waiting for the sun to come out in Ireland in mid-July, he passed some time penning the following musings. He's waiting for the clouds to clear so he can shoot his Irish assignment, and then take a flight to Portugal where, he says, "I hope there will be sun."
So here, in his own words, is Aidan's "glamorous life of a golf course photographer." Let's hope he can stop, as he says, "cursing the Irish weather depriving me of the ability to make a living. Do you know that photography is the hardest way to make an easy living?"
Part 1. Check Please
After a long day of working on the computer, at 8.30 p.m. I decided it was time to venture out of my steamy hotel room and head downstairs to the bar, have a beer and order a little nosh (grub). As I sat down I was approached by a slightly, if not pleasantly plump blonde waitress. The blonde description is merely added to inject a little color to the tale, so please don't get PC with me.
"I would like a bottled beer please," (all the draft beers here taste like they have too much chemicals in them). But before I could tell her what kind I wanted, she strolled off muttering "bottle beer."
"Excuse me," I said. "I haven't told you what kind of beer I would like." She returned and looked at me with a puzzled stare, and said "bottle beer," to which I responded "Yes, but I . . . " and she left again.
"Hello" I uttered with a slightly elevated tone. She returned once again with that now familiar dumb look. "I just want to know what kind of choices I have." "Vee dunt half CHOICES," she responded.
"No you don't understand, what kind of selection do you have?" "Vee dunt half SELECTION."
Right about now I am ready to pull my hair out and leave the place. But I took a deep breath and was determined to try one more time (wife, you would have been proud of me). "You have draft?" I gave her the universal sign for draft. "You have bottles?" and gave her my best description of a bottle and then said, "I don't want a draft." At this stage the poor wee lass had the "deer in the headlights look," but before she could leak out a word, I said once again in a slightly elevated but controlled voice, "I would really like a bottle of HEINEKIN, BUDWEISER (did I really say that?), BECKS."
Well that did it. When I said the word "Becks" her eyes lit up like her doctor had just given her a digi. "Ahh, BECKS," and off she went with a sense of accomplishment. I slumped back in my seat, totally drained from this ordeal but happy knowing that . . . "Houston, we have established communication." To think I could have gone to the grocery store across the street, bought a beer and prevented my blood pressure from jumping about 20 points.
I ordered a chicken curry to accompany my well-deserved Becks. Half-way through the meal another "more than pleasantly" plump waitress, this time with blonde, green and purple hair, started to wash glasses in front of me. Curiosity got the better of me and I asked her if she knew the nationality of the young lady who finally discovered that Becks was a bottled beer.
"I think she's Polish but I don't know," was the response. They must be really close friends! About five minutes later she returned with a huge smile on her face and remarked, "She's from the Check." I said, "You must mean she is from the Czeck Republic, formerly known as Czeckoslovakia?" "No, she is from the Check."
Well that really did it. Forget a relaxing Bailey's to finish the night, there was only one thing left to say . . . "CHECK PLEASE!"
The above is really true. I just had to rewind it in slow-motion to make sure it really happened. I think this Irish weather is really getting to me. To protect the innocent I have not included the names Natwitta and Lumka so these lovely ladies can go through their lives totally oblivious of what transpired this evening, although I fear that is going to happen anyway.
God Bless, Good Night . . .
Part 2. Friday the 13th - A Different Kind of Becks
There are two hot topics around the old soup trough today, No. 1: Will David Beckham save the MLS? and 2, Will we ever see sunshine again in Ireland.
Just in case you've been living under a rock for the past 15 years or you live outside Europe, David Beckham and his Spice Girl wife Posh just arrived in Los Angeles amidst a flurry of hoopla and paparazzi. Did you know that she has her initials on the hubcap of her Bentley convertible which, by the way, was just delivered to their newly purchased $15 million home. I was thinking of scraping my initials on my 1986 Jeep, Ehh not!!
Sorry, I digress. "Becks," football's (soccer's) most high-profile and grossly overpaid athlete has arrived in America at great expense in an attempt to raise the awareness of the game of soccer. I wish you the best David and hope you can "bend" their opinion.
The only reason I mention Beck's is that he represents a little ray of "sunshine" to the much-beleaguered American Soccer Association. And sunshine is something that is in short supply in Ireland these days, in fact there has not been a sighting in the past 45 days. All of which segues nicely into topic 2.
Having spent the first 21 years of my life in Ireland and two months each of the last five summers, it blows my mind that the average Irish person talks about the weather on a daily basis about as much as a healthy male thinks about sex. So it makes sense that I feel screwed when I come here to work and can't perform due to the inadequacies and shortcomings of the meteorological services to provide an adequate long-range forecast. Well enough of my sex life, let's move on.
It just dawned on me that living in California is very boring. You get up in the morning and what are your choices? Well, I have my beige sandals, blue shorts, and gaudy Hawaiian shirt - which visor am I going to select? How about the clean one! Now, where was the fun in that? Whereas if you live in Ireland it's just like taking the DMV test . . . multiple choices dude! Galoshes, Wellies or rubber boots? Trench coat, Anorak, or freshly waterproofed leather jacket for the cool people? Sweater, two sweaters, or hug a sheep? Now, that seems like a lot more fun. Everyone needs a little challenge in their lives.
It's 90 degrees in Portugal and Spain. What do you think their choices are? One-piece or two (bathing suits, for those of you in Hicksville)? Or, if you are the typical British tourist, do I wear my black socks or my Man United ones to the beach? Hello, fashion police! They are enjoying refreshing, sparkling drinks with their shrimp salads while I have to suffer through over-salted potato soup and Guinness just to maintain body temperature. Life, like golf, is not a game of fair.
This is all very depressing. It's time to head down to the bar and look for my friend from "the Check." Maybe her repertoire has increased to four beers. Nahh, too much to hope for. Oh well, maybe some new material for tomorrow night's ramblings, observations, comments.
God Bless, Good Night . . .
Part 3. Meanwhile, Back at the Bar
Forgive me, no one to talk to . . .
Well, sad to say, that my "Check Chick" was not working tonight. Maybe they fired her because she told a patron that they didn't have Guinness. With the Irish government's immigration policy of allowing one foreigner to enter the country for every citizen so the Irish don't have to work anymore because they are all so wealthy, Natwitta will always have a job. And I used to say "I love America." Ireland is fast becoming my newest favorite country. Ole, ole, ole . . . Oh, sorry, it was the Becks.
As I sat in the bar tonight, I noticed that everyone was drinking, some more than others. I started to think about the drinking culture in this country and was reminded of a newspaper article I read on the way to midnight mass the other night . . . I took a cab, honest. There is a big push to lower the legal limit to some ungodly age such that if you as much look at a diet Guinness you are going straight to jail because your body has ingested the evil liquor by osmosis.
While I believe that we must all bear responsibilities for our weaknesses, I really think this one is going to be hard to swallow. Zero tolerance. No more bars, pubs, etc. I got an idea. Let's all trade in our cars for a yellow cab. We could drive home in disguise. Can you see the freeways at 1.30 at night? It would look like giant caterpillars had invaded the world.
I don't think it would be healthy if we stopped going to the pub for a couple of de-stresser's at the end of the day before we go home to face reality. I tried it once and, after the third day, my wife said, "For God's sake, go to the pub and relax." Just then I thought, "I must be the luckiest man alive, what an understanding woman." However, about an hour after my third Becks it all became very clear to me. When you come home from the pub and are pleasantly merry, you don't want stir things up. You're a lover not a fighter, and if you're not, you are a blightering idiot. Shut up, sit down, eat your dinner and say "thank you"
Now if you arrive home without softening your disposition, all of a sudden you notice things. My steak is a little tough. There's not enough butter on my spuds. Why are the kids still up? What's that pile of laundry doing on the kitchen floor? What do you mean I can't have sex - it's been four months since I last groveled? And before you know it, you are having a fight, you slam the door and head for the pub. See, if you had done that three hours ago you could have avoided all this.
I don't think this zero tolerance would be good for the longevity of marriage. The only people who would benefit from all this would be the lawyers, and we know how we feel about them. Well, someone suggested you could drink at home. I don't think this is a good example for your kids. They will start to think you don't have any friends and they will blame themselves. Not healthy. And what if you start saying, "Can we get another one over here please." Pretty soon your wife is going to say, "Get you own f.....g cocktail!" and that's not healthy either. Do you see where I'm going? Not good.
Now, let's examine the bigger picture. Zero tolerance gone wild. The naked truth on spring break. I mean, can you honestly see the Super Bowl being sponsored by Liptons Tea, Snapple, or Fanta? I'm not going to wash down my Doritos and hot dog with one of those. Gag me with a spoon Dude. Everyone has heard the phrase, "The Good Lord invented whiskey to prevent the Irish from ruling the world." If they cut us off we would make Al Qaeda look like Bambi. Can you see Mr. Bush sending the marines to Ireland? All he will find over here is a bunch of Polish and Eastern Europeans learning how to drink Guinness and say, "Becks." Heck, we've had terrorist cells over here for years. And we know how to turn this country into turmoil. Make them watch Katie Couric 24 hours a day, deprive you guys of Paris Hilton sightings, and worst of all, force-feed you porridge. This nation would crumble before you could say, "Another Bushmills please."
So, for the good of national security, longevity of marriage, and the general well-being of Katie Couric, let's not get our knickers in a twist. Let us not rush to judgment. A little pop every once in a while is good for you. Support you neighborhood alehouse, but be careful.
Moderation in all things. If you find that's not working for you, I suggest you cut your drinking in half. Save up that unused money and, before you know it, you'll have enough for a fake beard, foreign language lessons, and a yellow cab.
Bingo, problem solved.
God Bless, Good Night . . .

A push to legalize gay marriage in the United Kingdom is creating a stir both inside and outside parliament.
The new gay marriage bill, which was debated over a two-day period in the lower house this week, has left many questioning Prime Minister David Cameron's credibility.
Throngs of Christians gathered to pray and show their support for traditional marriage during the debate, and critics say they aren't alone.
Many conservative lawmakers also oppose the bill, with almost 40 percent of Cameron's own party breaking ranks with the prime minister to support alternative measures.
British media reports the issue is threatening to split Cameron's government.
But according to Reuters, the prime minister remains "relaxed" about the situation, viewing the lawmakers' dissention as evidence of a healthy British democracy.

The Evergreen High School homecoming game on Friday will have an added attraction this year: Mark Johnson.
While his name might not be recognizable to some, his voice is. Johnson, who will be the homecoming game announcer, is a celebrity of sorts — the play-by-play announcer for the University of Colorado Buffaloes. He's also sports director at KOA radio, and, more importantly, he's the father of Evergreen's No. 44, Nicolas Johnson.
When Tony Barnett took the job as Evergreen High athletic director, he was dogged by one question: Why couldn't the Cougars play a football game at home?
Barnett figured it'd be no problem to arrange a game on the home turf.
Think again.
"I met with the district and they explained their reasoning, and it became pretty clear why games were no longer played up here in Evergreen," Barnett said.
The deadline to register to vote in the 2009 coordinated mail-ballot election in Jefferson County is Monday, Oct. 5.
Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.
This election is being conducted by Jefferson County as an all-mail ballot election. Ballots will automatically be sent to eligible voters between Oct. 13 and 16.
Voters registering after Oct. 5 will be registered to vote but will not be eligible to vote in the November election.
Painter Julia C. Bermann, 96, a well-known member of the Evergreen arts community, died Sept. 16 at her daughter's home in Evergreen.
Born April 24, 1913, in New York City, Bermann was an artist for most of her life. She attended art school in New York and worked as an illustrator, designer, teacher and painter. Her paintings are in art collections throughout the U.S.
In a profile in the Canyon Courier, she was asked for her advice to other artists.
When the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's annual Light the Night Walk illuminates Denver's Washington Park on Thursday evening, Oct. 1, longtime Evergreen residents Mary and Cassidy Brewer hope to make that gala promenade in the company of neighbors.
"It would be great if the mountain area had a good representation," says Mary, who's been busy assembling a team since August. "Blood cancers are major killers, right up there with breast and prostate cancer, but they don't seem to get as much attention. I don't think most people know all very much about them."
Students returned to West Jefferson Middle School at midmorning Wednesday after the school was evacuated when a teacher found a suspicious package in the school. The box turned out to be full of garden tools.
School district spokeswoman Lynn Setzer said the 583 students at West Jeff were taken to Conifer High School after the package was discovered about 6:30 a.m. The evacuation occurred about 8 a.m.
Setzer said the Jefferson County sheriff's bomb squad reported to the school and determined the package was not hazardous. Students then were bused back to the school.
An Evergreen woman suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries in an encounter with an elk about 11 a.m. Sept. 22 on South San Souci Drive, near Dedisse Park and Troutdale Scenic Drive, about a mile from downtown Evergreen.
A neighbor who talked to the woman's husband said she was heading back to her car after retrieving a small dog. She didn't see the elk before it attacked her and knocked her to the ground.
A herd of about 17 elk was in the woman's yard at the time, said the neighbor, who did not want to be identified.
The Mount Evans Highway is officially closed for the season.
The road to the 14,264-foot summit, Colorado 5, is billed as North America's highest paved highway, state officials announced Sept 23. The road was closed after two days of intermittent snow.
Officials from the Jeffco Midget Football Association will meet this week to decide how to handle a local outbreak of H1N1 flu that has already forced cancellation of several games.
Rebecca Schloegl, office manager of the South Jeffco Sports Association and past president of the JMFA, said several games have been canceled because team members have confirmed cases of H1N1 flu " and more cancellations could be coming.
The Jeffco Public Library and the county's Workforce Center are taking their campaign for computer literacy on the road. Literally.
The county last week unveiled the eTrain Mobile Training Lab, a converted bookmobile that boasts eight computer stations with access to the Internet. The vehicle's driver also serves as a trainer, and will lead classes in Internet skills and career-building for clients of nonprofits and for small businesses around Jefferson, Gilpin and Clear Creek counties.

What is a millage rate and where do I find it?
Answer: The millage rate can be found on the property tax statement or by contacting the local treasurer. Millage rate is the rate at which property taxes are levied on property.

If my homestead percentage indicated on my tax statement is other than 100% or 0%, how do I compute my taxes?
Answer: If your property is less than 100% homestead (perhaps you rent a portion of your home or use your home for business) you must subtract the School Operating Tax and any special assessments that were charged from the total taxes levied.

For a very long time now it has been clear that the policies of the Republican Party are anti-Christian.
Even though many Republicans talk about their personal Christian beliefs and "family values", their actions speak louder than words. If we are to define Christianity as being a follower of the words and actions of Jesus Christ as written in the Gospels, then Republican policies are almost 100 percent against Christian principles.
For example, the Christian principle of helping others at all costs, even when that means you give your own food/clothing/shelter is completely defeated by the Republican mantra of slashing social services such as food stamps, Social Security, Head Start, Meals on Wheels, etc. Republican policies almost to a fault cry out "every man for himself" and "handouts are evil".
Where, pray tell, in the Bible does it say "every man for himself"? Quite frankly, Jesus says exactly the opposite "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22: 39). How does this passage from Matthew gel with GOP policies: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Matthew 25:34-36.
That sounds a whole lot like the exact opposite of what the Republicans are preaching.
You can call Democrats misguided and you can praise the Republicans desire to cut costs in social spending while at the same time expanding military spending. What you cannot do is attempt to label such Republican policies as valid policies a Christian would hold. Any honest observer has to assess the Democrat/Republican divide and find that the party nearer to Christian beliefs as professed in the New Testament is without a doubt, the Democrats.

Why are we in a band that's called The Euphoria? You see, my friend sent me a list of names to NOT call my new band as a joke, and 'Barry Harris & The Euphoria' was one of them! It had a nice a ring to it, so it stuck for more than 3 years now.
The Euphoria is the embodiment of every rock-star fantasy moment that I created in front of a mirror. Since I am blessed to be surrounded by some of the most talented up-and-coming musicians in this business, my fantasy is now your reality. If I can create a fraction of the experience that Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band creates on a given night, then I have achieved everything that I set out to do. Webster's Dictionary defines 'euphoria' as a state of intense happiness. That's the experience that we create for you.

Striding to the aquarium in front of the jam-packed sanctuary, Bishop T.D. Jakes seizes a net and scoops up a single fish. As 3,000 worshippers watch raptly, the tiny body wriggles, splashing Jakes's brown suit. "The fish cannot be outside this environment," intones Jakes, 41, pointing to the water. "He's still alive, but he can't be out here for long. He'll get into trouble." The crowd becomes visibly excited. "Christ came to put us back in the water," Jakes continues. His audience is on its feet. Shouts of "That's right!" and "Glory!" ring out from around the room. And then the bishop's voice booms, "Tell somebody, 'I'm back in the tank now!' "
A slightly unusual religious metaphor—but there's no doubt that Thomas Dexter Jakes is in his element. All it takes is a glance around The Potter's House, the south Dallas megachurch he founded two years ago. Now there are 200 employees and more than 16,000 members (ranging from the homeless to celebrities like Dallas Cowboys Deion Sanders and Emmitt Smith). And The Potter's House is just the flagship of the flamboyant Pentecostal pastor's flourishing empire, which includes 12 Christian bestsellers, the weekly TV show Get Ready with T.D. Jakes, inspirational CDs and projected sales this year of 1.5 million videotapes and 1.8 million audiotapes preaching his gospel of empowerment.
"When T.D. Jakes opens his mouth, what comes out is liquid fire," says Rev. John Hagee, a national TV and radio evangelist. "It impacts your life with a message that doesn't stop when you walk out of there." That was certainly the case with NFL star Sanders. Introduced to Jakes last year by his now ex-wife, he became enough of a believer to donate a million dollars. "I've had two fathers, my biological father and my stepfather," says Sanders, 31. "But this is the first man I've ever called Daddy."
If Jakes strikes such an emotional chord in many of his followers, it may be due to his sympathetic approach to such timely and thorny issues as AIDS, single motherhood and abusive relationships. "I've been called the shepherd of the shattered," Jakes says. "I think that's a fairly adept description." Jakes himself is no stranger to heartache. Growing up in Charleston, W.Va., he was the youngest of three children of Ernest, who ran a janitorial service, and Odith, now 72, a home economics teacher. When T.D. was 10, already singing in the church choir and selling greens from his mother's garden for $1 a bag, his father developed kidney disease. For the next six years, Jakes helped nurse him as Ernest wasted away. "I think it is my camaraderie with people who have endured tragedy that makes my ministry what it is," he says.
That and the ability to bring down the house with his powerful preaching, a talent honed through early years of organizing revivals and pastoring in a succession of coal-mining towns. It was during a guest sermon in her hometown of Beckley, W.Va., that Serita Ann Jamison became, she says, "enthralled by the man;" they soon met, and married six months later. Today, Serita, 43, serves as director of personnel at the church and oversees the women's ministry, as well as care of the couple's five children (twins Jamar and Jermaine, 18; Cora, 11; Sarah, 10; and T. Dexter Jr., 4). "My idea of having a good time is sitting around with the kids acting crazy," Bishop Jakes says. "You know, stuff you could do if you was broke."
Jakes also savors more expensive pleasures. His family lives in a $1.7 million home "my father would have bragged about cleaning." He gave himself a blue convertible BMW for his 40th birthday and indulges his appetite for colorful, mostly tailor-made clothes. "I enjoy all of it," Jakes says. "I'm a lavish person, and I earned that."
Jakes says that giving his followers the tools to emulate his success is an important part of his mission. In fact, that's the goal of the ambitious Project 2000, to which Sanders made his contribution. "When completed, it's slated to include a community center providing job and computer training, a women's shelter and a substance abuse program. "When we get through worshipping and shouting and clapping and singing, we need jobs," Jakes says. "I'm not here for me, because I got mine. But I can't go to bed until they have theirs."

Genealogy News: North America – 23 October 2011
This edition offers news on how genealogy societies plan to provide programming for long-distance members, nominations for the National Genealogical Society Hall of Fame, a book on today's obsession with genealogy, an Irish DNA project and new online database, as well as a new conference focusing on story telling, blogging and family history.
Technology includes podcasts and webinars, much in use these days and offering benefits for researchers around the world.
One Canadian society - the Ontario Genealogy Society's Niagara Peninsula branch - will now reach far-away members by streaming guest speakers on the Internet.
For more information (and the fee to join), see the society's website. Click on the Region 4 Meeting Box to register and pay by October 27. Recordings will not be archived.
Genealogy Hall of Fame nominations sought
The US National Genealogical Society is seeking nominations from the genealogical community for individuals whose achievements or contributions have made an impact on the field. The Hall of Fame program increases appreciation of high standards advocated and achieved by committed genealogists.
The first person elected to the National Genealogy Hall of Fame was Donald Lines Jacobus in 1986. Since then, 24 outstanding genealogists have been recognized. The person selected for 2012 will be honored at the NGS Family History Conference (Cincinnati, Ohio, 9-12 May 2012). Nominations are made by genealogical and historical societies throughout the US, and are due by 31 January each year.
Persons nominated must have been active genealogists for 10 years, deceased for at least five years at time of nomination and must have made contributions that were "unique, pioneering or exemplary."
Access nomination forms here.
Raising the curtain on the genealogy obsession
Rutgers University (New Jersey) sociologist Eviatar Zerubavel has written Ancestors and Relatives: Genealogy, Identity, and Community.
In an article in Boston.com, writer Josh Rothman says that Zerubavel argues that genealogies are objective accounts of our ancestries, but are as much about our values as they are about the facts:
"No other animals have 'second cousins once removed,'" Zerubavel points out, "or are aware of having had great-great-great-grandparents"; only people have the more abstract sorts of relatives necessary for a real genealogy. In the meantime, as categories for relatives proliferate and family trees expand, we accrue large numbers of 'optional' relatives. We construct our genealogies by choosing, out of a nearly endless array of possibly important or interesting ancestors, the ones who matter to us.
Readers will find the rest of the book's review fascinating. I did.
All-Ireland DNA Atlas Project
Readers of Irish descent - there are millions in North America - may find this new genetic genealogy DNA project of interest.
The Genealogical Society of Ireland and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland launched the All-Ireland project to create a collection of DNA samples from individuals of Irish origin to be used to explore human genetic variation in the Irish population.
The project will provide information on the migration and settlement patterns across Ireland – from the first farmers through the 16th and 17th centuries, and will help historians and archaeologists analyze existing records and studies.
In addition to understanding movements and population relationships, studying the health of the people is another aspect.
Participants are sought from all parts of Ireland who can trace their eight great-grandparents to a general area. Each participant will be complete an ancestry chart by the genealogical society, to be completed back to those eight great-grandparents. For more information, click here.
Irish prison records now online
North American researchers of Irish families now have a large database - more than 3.5 million records - to search online, covering the Irish Prison Registers (1790-1920), just launched by FindMyPast.ie.
The original Registers, held at the National Archives of Ireland, cover all types of custodial institutions, from bridewells, to county prisons, to sanatoriums for alcoholics. They contain over 3.5 million entries, spread over 130,000 pages, with most records giving comprehensive details of the prisoner, including: name, address, place of birth, occupation, religion, education, age, physical description, name and address of next of kin, crime committed, sentence, dates of committal and release/decease.
For more information, click here for details.
Your stories matter
Set in Salt Lake City, Utah - 8-10 March 2012 - the Story @ Home conference will present story tellers, bloggers and genealogists at a new conference. Speakers include well-known names, interesting classes and much more. See the details here.
No matter how you tell your stories – through your family history, at your child's bedside, on your blog, or from a stage – your stories matter. ... with workshops and performances by award-winning storytellers, performers and speakers ... record your own story, start on research to learn more about your family's history, get started on a blog and learn how to tell your story through social media.

Orchids & onions
March 16, 2013
ORCHID: To the 165 people who participated in the Polar Plunge last week to raise $29,730 for Special Olympics. Participants plunged into frigid Mosquito Creek Reservoir....
Randy Smith should have better sense. He must be watched. If he sent Barzak there to vote 3 times, the citizens should wonder what's going on in the engineer's office that they are trying to get away with.

How many years had officials been voting for multiple districts? It is being said that TC Engineer Randy Smith, as a Hartford Trustee, once voted 6 times in the same election.
It's incredible that this took a lawsuit to remedy the secret ballot voting and bring into accordance with Ohio law.
It's no wonder the Board of Health has run amok for so long. They must have been hand picking their members all along to build a fortress around themselves and keep the people out of their business.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I find it amazing that Don Barzak of Johnston, tried to manipulate the votes by voting for other bodies of which he has no part. Barzak is earning a taxpayer salary of $62,000 under the direction of Randy Smith, the Trumbull County Engineer. Mr. Smith had better watch how Barzak handles business in his office. He obviously has no regard for the taxpayers. Perhaps we have another situation in the Engineers office like we had with DeChristafaro. Remember this at the ballot box next time the engineer is up for re-election. He should chose his employees a little more carefully.

Orchid to the citizens of Trumbull County for not let Don Barzak vote 3 times for the health board seat and for protesting the vote of John Spelich. We have rules for a reason.

WELLSVILLE - Economic development and urban blight were amongst the topics of discussion when Mayor Susan Haugh welcomed state Senator Joe Schiavoni (D-33) to Wellsville on Wednesday afternoon.
Schiavoni was making various stops around the county to familiarize himself with his new constituency. His itinerary included sitting in on a county commissioners' meeting and visits with officials from St. Clair Township and the county Board of Elections.
Following a contentious redistricting process in 2011, Columbiana County joined Mahoning County in the 33rd state Senate District, effective Jan. 1 of this year. The move makes Schiavoni the new state senator for Columbiana County. He was sworn in last week for the opening of the 130th Ohio General Assembly.

Schiavoni has represented the 33rd District since being appointed by former state Senator John Boccieri, who vacated the seat in 2008 to run for the 16th District House of Representatives seat in Congress. Schiavoni was reelected in 2010 and currently serves as assistant Senate minority leader.
The senator was able to find similarities between the Youngstown area, where he was raised and still lives, and the community of Wellsville. Both are populated with hard-working people whose hometowns have fallen into decline over the last few decades, he stated. At age 33, he said he is among the generation that has never seen the "glory days" that are spoken of in such areas.
Schiavoni is encouraged, however, by the increasing number of people who are choosing to stay in the communities and raise families rather than moving away. "I think there's a newfound confidence and positive attitude," he said.
Mayor Haugh agreed and said the twin problems of blight and drugs are the two greatest challenges facing in Wellsville. To demonstrate the problem, Haugh stopped in front of an empty dilapidated house on Main Street at the 18th Street railroad crossing during a tour of the village.
"We have to get control of this before we're going to move forward," she said.
The tour group, which included Haugh, Schiavoni, village administrator Thom Edgell, councilman John Morrow and Gregory Carver, a Knox Township trustee, also stopped at the Wellsville Intermodal Park. Haugh said she was glad to also put the recent successes of Wellsville on display for the senator.
For his part, Schiavoni cited the facility as an example of what can happen when local leaders work together to bring development to the area. "They're desperate to have a good relationship with their state and federal officials, so that we can make projects like this work," he said.
Haugh said her core message to Schiavoni was just to remember that Wellsville is still working hard to rebuild itself, and can use whatever assistance he is able to provide. According to Schiavoni, that's a something the mayor can count on. "I want to be a part of this community as if I lived here," he said.

We flew into Miami the day before and got picked up and taken to Fort Lauderdale where we stayed at The Marriott Harbor Beach Resort on hotel points. The hotel has been refurbished, but is just ok since it is somewhat isolated on the beach. The room was an oceanview room, but felt a little small to me and the food in the hotel is it's downside,but on to the cruise.
We arrived at the port at 11:45 and were on the ship in 20 minutes. Our room was ready and quite comfortable as we had a mini suite. Our cruise was Feb.13-27, so our second day was Valentines Day. This was our 27th wedding anniversary and my husband purchased some of the most beautiful flowers for at least $25 less then they would have been at home. Our door had anniversary balloons that lasted the entire two weeks of our cruise. We also had dinner on the balcony which was just beautiful. It does cost an extra $100, but was well worth the price. You have your own private butler. You get 2 drinks from the bar, a bottle of champagne, hordouves with caviar, appetizer, salad, steak and lobster, and desert. The ships photographer also comes to your room to take a free picture for you and these were some of the best pictures, we have had taken. Our dinner was just before sunset in 80 degree weather on smooth seas, so as we finished the sun was setting. It was Romance on the Seas. Our 14 days seemed to fly by.
We visited the ports of Aruba, Curacao, Trinidad, Barbados, St. Vincent St. Thomas, and Grand Turk. We unable to get into St. Kitts due to high seas, but the Captain did sail along the coast so you at least got to sea the landscape. Our tours consisted of a Catamaran and land tour in Aruba great tour, mini sub and land tour in Curacao in a heavy rain still fun, land tour in Trinidad OK, and we just went into ports and walked Barbados St. Vincent, La Romana, St. Thomas and Gran Turk. St Vincent and La Romana are quite poor. We did take the hop on hop off Pirate Catamaran in St. Thomas which took us from Crown Bay into town and over to Havensight before returning us back to Crown Bay for $10 a person great fun and a great price. Grand Turk was great fun. Nice shops and beach with a Margarita Ville that had great food and a fun atmosphere.
Overall this was one of our nicest cruises. The service was so great that it made the age of the ship not that important. So don't hesitate to take the Grand Princess and I hope you have as nice a time and feel as special as we did on this ship.

County police in riot gear and armoured tanks gave way to state troopers walking side-by-side with thousands of protesters as the St. Louis suburb where an unarmed black teen was shot by a city police officer overwhelmingly avoided violence Thursday after nearly a week of unrest and mounting public tension. The dramatic shift came after Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon assigned oversight of the protests to the state Highway Patrol, stripping local police from the St. Louis County Police Department of their authority after four days of clashes with furious crowds protesting the weekend death of 18-year-old Michael Brown. ``All they did was look at us and shoot tear gas,'' said Pedro Smith, 41, who has participated in the nightly protests. ``This is totally different. Now we're being treated with respect.'' The more tolerant response came as President Barack Obama spoke publicly for the first time about Saturday's fatal shooting _ and the subsequent violence that shocked the nation and threatened to tear apart Ferguson, a town of 21,000 that is nearly 70 per cent black and patrolled by a nearly all-white police force. Obama said there was ``no excuse'' for violence either against the police or by officers against peaceful protesters. Nixon's promise to ease the deep racial tensions was swiftly put to the test as demonstrators gathered again Thursday evening in the neighbourhood where looters had smashed and burned businesses on Sunday and where police had repeatedly fired tear gas and smoke bombs. But the latest protests had a light, almost jubilant atmosphere among the racially mixed crowd, more akin to a parade or block party. The streets were filled with music, free food and even laughter. When darkness fell _the point at which previous protests have grown tense _ no uniformed officers were in sight outside the burned-out QuikTrip convenience store that had become a flashpoint for standoffs between police and protesters. ``You can feel it. You can see it,'' protester Cleo Willis said of the change. ``Now it's up to us to ride that feeling.'' Nixon appointed Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is black, to lead the police effort. Johnson, who grew up near Ferguson and commands a region that includes St. Louis County, marched alongside protesters Thursday, joined by other high-ranking brass from the Highway Patrol as well as the county department. The marchers also had a police escort. ``We're here to serve and protect,'' Johnson said. ``We're not here to instil fear.'' Several people stopped to shake hands and even hug Johnson and other officers, thanking them by name. At one point, Johnson spoke to several young men wearing red bandanas around their necks and faces. After the discussion, one of the men reached out and embraced him. Residents in Ferguson have complained about the police response that began soon after Brown's shooting with the use of dogs for crowd control _ a tactic that for some evoked civil-rights protests from a half century ago. The county police had taken over the investigation of Brown's shooting and security at the request of the smaller city. Police have said Brown was shot after an officer encountered him and another man on the street. They say one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon. At least one shot was fired inside the car. The struggle then spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times.

What window manager do you recommend?
In the past I've read about several different window managers, each offering something a little different than the other. What window manager do your recommend to use with 64 Studio and why do you recommend it?
I meant to write a how-to for this ages ago... and it since became quite a bit easier to do. I'll do it tonight, and post the link here as well. Cheers,
window managers
I've alwaysed favoured FVWM-2 with themes, or AfterStep. The latter was my favorite for years on my litle celeron laptop- for slimness and grace of use..... Fvwm themes even loaded up all my menus for me by default, which is a real advantage. I'd love to use these or fluxbox on 64studio, but can't get menus going. flux doesn't seem to have any background click meus or any toolbars at all! After step would be great to re-configure the menus on, as this version is gnome friendly i believe. Blackbox and other window managers have all done the same thing - no menus. exept enlightenment! years ago i used to say i'd use it when i had cpu cyles to spare! that gnome-enlightenment is interesting... any ideas on the menus front? dav=-0
I found Enlightenment in the default repositories of 64 Studio. I'm not sure if it was this E-17 that you speak of. When I ran it, it seemed as though it required some configuring. I don't know, I guess I'll stick with Gnome for now until I get some time to learn E.
I use Enlightenment E17 on my laptop over the top of an Xubuntu install and on this PC over 64 Studio. I haven't yet found a repository that works with 64 Studio so I installed it from CVS. Even with the easy_e17 script. This is not an easy task so I don't recommend it unless you are patient and have a good idea about what you are doing. In theory the ELive repositories should work as that is based on Etch. Download the Elive CD and see if it suits you. I have at least half a dozen reasons why I prefer E17 to everything else. Low memory use Speed When it infrequently crashes it reloads gracefully without even moving a single application window or losing a running app. With three screens I can control virtual desktops on each one separately. Window positioning control is superior to anything else. e.g. It can remember exactly where on each virtual desktop and screen you want each app to open every time you open it. Menus that pop up without finding a particular part of the desktop. Easily text editable application shortcuts. AND It looks damn good.
Playing around
Last night I installed a few different window managers and gave them a go briefly. I didn't have much luck. I'm guessing there was some configuring that needed to be performed. After installing, I logged out. Then clicked the session button at the logon screen, and chose what manager I wanted to try. I clicked on Metacity and as it begins to log it, the screen turns grey as if it is loading the desktop, and then nothing happens. I learned last night that Gnome is the desktop enviroment and not a window manager. Does this mean that when I choose Gnome as my session it loads Metacity by default? I also tried using enlightenment. When I chose the Enlightenment session it loaded a completely new desktop and window manager. After logging out, I realized that there was a session called E-Gnome, which was the Gnome Desktop with Enlightenment as the window manager.
As you have said, each has its advantages. Gnome (default) is currently the best choice because it is default... Thus easy to support and fix. Gnome has been extremely stable (I cannot recall serious problems) and works well with all the apps in 64studio I loaded beryl onto Gnome (or under Gnome...) and It looks very cool - but for important/Live recordings I always go back to plain "Metacity" Gnome for the stability. I have no experiences with 64studio under other (KDE, Xfce, etc) and would like to hear from others about this.

They're a family full of overachievers!
Kip and Mona Lisa Harding of Montgomery, Ala., have 10 children – and six of them started college by the age of 12.
The Hardings attribute their children's success to the flexibility of homeschooling – not genius IQs – and allowing their kids to pursue their passions.
"If parents get out of the way, kids can really go far," says Kip, 45.
Mona Lisa began homeschooling the kids in the summer of 1997 after Hannah, their eldest child, finished third grade.
"Kip was in the military and we wanted to do homeschooling year round so we could take time off when travelling or moving and still be ahead," she says.
She had no idea it would lead to Hannah taking her first college class at age 12.
"Hannah loved math and outdid me very quickly," she says.
They soon realized she was doing college algebra and could earn college credits if she took a class. So that's what Hannah did – and she earned a B.
Soon, Hannah was attending college full time and her siblings began following in her footsteps.
While Mona Lisa does the actual teaching, Kip is there for moral support, she says.
"If I get lost or frustrated I can say, 'I need help,' " she says. "This child needs more encouragement, more guidance."
Their kids say starting college earlier just means they get to pursue their passions a whole lot sooner than most people.
"If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it exactly the same way," says Serennah, 22, a doctor at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
"I'm thankful to have had parents who basically set out to let their kids find and pick and pursue what they want to do," she says.

Postcards from London: Star Gazing
I lived in London for over a year before I saw an actual celebrity. Here I was, living in this international city, close to the suburb of Hampstead, where such people as Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton were rumored to live. But not once did our paths cross, so I never had a chance to give my knowing nod of recognition and be the ever cool, unfazed civilian I always hoped I'd be in such situations.
I once heard that Johnny Depp had been sighted near Oxford Street. Be still my heart! I'd been out there many times, but alas, no quirky, enigmatic actor sightings for me. I became resigned about the whole celebrity spotting thing. What did I need with it anyway?
Which is why, I guess, when Hugh Grant walked right in front of me, I didn't recognize him. That and the fact that I wasn't wearing my glasses. My journalism classmate and I were attending a rather dry presentation about the Leveson Inquiry—investigations into British Press conduct involving multiple instances of phone hacking. A panel of experts sat at the front of the lecture hall, taking questions from the audience. A man hurried in several minutes late and sat down in the front row. "That's Hugh Grant," whispered my classmate. "No it's not," I said dismissively, but she insisted. Sliding my glasses on for a closer look, I realized that she was absolutely right. And all of a sudden it made sense, given that the actor had testified at these public hearings and had strong opinions about the press.
And now, here I was, sitting casually in a small lecture hall, just a few rows away from Hugh Grant! No big deal, he's just a person. I'm a person. Two people, concerned about press regulation. It made perfect sense we'd be in the same room together. I noticed a number of heads were turning his direction throughout the lecture. Predictably, phone cameras were coming out, trying to capture a candid shot or two. I rolled my eyes. This is a serious venue, let's all try to act like adults, shall we?
At intermission, several students approached him for a photo. I would never be so predictable. Instead I stood at some distance, casually trying to get a picture with my notoriously inadequate phone camera. Then as we were standing around with our cups of tea and cookies, a number of people tried to strike up conversation with the celebrity. Hugh was tolerant, but I imagined that he'd spotted me across the room, secretly longing for my superior wit and company. If he were more bold, I thought, he might dare to cross the room and approach that mysterious foreign woman, perhaps secretly desiring to reenact Notting Hill or Four Weddings and a Funeral. Let's face it, it's always the Americans who end up capturing his heart. He was just being characteristically British and shy.
During the rest of the presentation I amused myself framing up Hugh Grant with my camera phone. My predictably bad photos each featured a tiny, unidentifiable man wearing a blue sweater. We never did exchange words that day. He simply returned to his humdrum celebrity life, while I casually told my friends about the day I had a cup of tea with the stars.

Certified Law Enforcement Officer
Since September 1977
228-896-0606Email Sheriff Brisolara
Sheriff Brisolara is a thirty-five year law enforcement veteran, with over twenty years of experience in a leadership, management and supervisory role. His experience spans numerous aspects of Sheriff's Office operations, including patrol, dispatch, vehicle fleet maintenance, civil process, bailiff program, transport, administration, fiscal/budgeting, purchasing and the reserve program. His wide-ranging experience prepares him well to run an effective Sheriff's Office for the citizens of Harrison County.
During his tenure in law enforcement, Sheriff Brisolara had an opportunity to work closely with former Sheriff and Congressman Larkin Smith, and this experience prepared him with the skills necessary for initiating, planning, implementing, and managing innovative programs such as the Blue Lightning Task Force, USM Law Enforcement Training Academy, Inmate Work Center, the "Are You Okay?" program, and the new H.C.L.E.T.A.
In 2003, Sheriff Brisolara retired from the Harrison County Sheriff's Office as a Major and the office's Chief Administrative Officer. It was at this time that Sheriff Brisolara was appointed to serve as Chairman of the Harrison County 911 Commission, a position in which he was entrusted with providing and managing coast-wide emergency communication systems. This only demonstrates his ability to coordinate diverse organizations into pursuing a common goal of unified communication.
His management work with four different Sheriffs (Payne, Price, Rhodes, Smith) provided him the ability to see many important issues from a variety of perspectives, all the while finding ways to implement solutions that will work for the betterment of law enforcement. In addition, as the Executive Director of the Mississippi Sheriff's Association, he is able to see the issues and associated solutions that span sheriff's offices across the state, further widening and broadening his range of experience.
In addition to his work with the Harrison County Sheriff's Office and the Harrison County 911 Commission, Sheriff Brisolara is a successful business owner/operator for over 15 years. Sheriff Brisolara is able to translate his business sense into the efficient management of your Harrison County Sheriff's Office and county tax dollars!
Sheriff Brisolara is married to Barbara Reed and has three wonderful children, Sara, Brandon, and Chelsea.

Your sunrise summary of everything you need to know about weather in Houston.
Warm, but not super hot today, with a chance of afternoon showers.
Houston is seeing some scattered showers this morning, and we should see another round of spotty rain this afternoon during the warmest part of the day.
We're also continuing to transition to a more August-like pattern, with highs today in the low 90s rising to highs in the mid- to upper-90s for the second half of the week.
This is because one of the very strong high pressure systems we often see during August appears to be building. With this pattern Houston will see very warm temperatures for awhile, with only slight chances of afternoon, scattered showers.
How warm might it get?
The GFS model is showing the region getting its first 100-degree day sometime next week. I'm not sure we'll get that hot, but I feel pretty confident in saying that the dog days of summer are just ahead.
Bertha is no longer a hurricane and it's making a transition to an extratropical cyclone as it moves northeast away from North America. Elsewhere the tropics are quiet.
Nice summer so far,
But as we get deeper in
August, can it last?
Tropical Storm Edouard made landfall between High Island and Sabine Pass on this date in 2008. A few homes on the Bolivar peninsula suffered flood damage but most of Southeast Texas just received some beneficial summer rain.

"One last thing I want to mention... Being overweight is not a character flaw by any means.
Too frequently will people think that they're overweight because "something is wrong with them" and that's the furthest thing from the truth. Unfortunately, when these people fail on their diets, they'll continue to think that something is wrong with them and beat themselves up.
In reality, weight loss is a skill... just like riding a bike. If you fell and scraped your knee the first time you attempted to ride a bike, you wouldn't beat yourself up and say "shit, something is horribly wrong with me... I just don't have the willpower and discipline required to ride this bike" would you? Nope, you'd realize that you just don't have that skill yet. You'll need to get better at it and learn how to control the bike when you hit different terrain... a bumpy road or a patch of grass, etc.
How silly is it that when people attempt to lose weight – often by reducing it to "eat less, move more" – then fail, they think that they're lazy? Undisciplined? They feel guilty and horrible about themselves, rather than think about what caused them to slip up – how to control the bike past a new terrain.
If there's one thing that you take away from all of this, it's that losing weight is a skill... a composite of underlying skills like mindfulness or nutritional knowledge.
There's one more important implication – You can go ahead and forgive yourself for any past slip-ups. It's important in this entire journey to be self-compassionate... in fact, research shows that this will actually make you more likely to succeed:

Christ I, also known as the Advent Lyrics or Christ A, is a collection of 12 poems, appearing on fols. 8a-14a of the Exeter Book. It constitutes lines 1-439 of the poetic triad Christ, which was formerly considered to be one poem. Nowadays the lyric sequence Christ I is regarded as independent from Christ II and Christ III; however, it is quite clear that the three poems are thematically interrelated. In the manuscript the three works appear separated by the typical indicators of textual borders, double spacing and capitalization, which can be seen at the beginning of Christ II and Christ III. As these marks cannot be considered totally reliable in terms of textual …
