Throughout the history of the NBA, there have been eras where certain teams have been the spotlight for the NBA's success and growth. Teams like the Boston Celtics in the '60s, the Pistons in the '80s and the Bulls in the '90s each played their roles in turning the NBA into a worldwide spectacle.
While every team can be considered important, there are of course teams that have done more than others. The following ranks all 30 NBA teams based on their importance to the NBA both currently and historically. The rankings are based on three factors: their success throughout history (playoff appearances, championships, etc.), the team's importance to their city/state and also the monetary value of each team.
I have also included a player representative for each team.

As we approach the January transfer window, for various reasons some players will have to shape up or ship out of Manchester United.
While Sir Alex Ferguson has shown his soft underbelly with his sentimental inclusion of Scholes and Giggs too often this season, recent weeks will have given him a sharp wake-up call.
The attack has been firing on all cylinders with the most goals scored in years at this early stage. They've had to bail the team out as the defence has been letting in water at the other end.
When we analyse the reasons why, there are some plausible explanations.
Yet another injury crisis in defence has meant not only the absence of up to four key centre-backs, but also an enforced player rotation that has seen no fewer than 10 different centre-back combinations.
But what is unacceptable is the high proportion of set-piece goals scored against United, being the highest by any team in the division.
Mind you, even that stat is open to interpretation. A high proportion of set-piece goals also means a low ratio of goals scored in open play—which in absolute terms might be interpreted as good news if the number conceded wasn't so high.
Still, it puts the lie to suggestions that the main reason is that United's midfield gets overrun. However, attack is the best form of defence and United have started too slowly in too many matches—which brings us full circle to the point about Scholes and Giggs.
These two are among the greatest footballers who ever lived. It's not just their longevity. Scholes is one of the greatest passers of a ball. Giggs would have walked into any team on the planet, and if he played in Messi's role for Barcelona now might be almost as successful.
"To everything there is a season" as the song goes and it's sadly time to turn over a new leaf in United's midfield and move to a new paradigm.
There is absolutely no reason why the two maestros shouldn't be kept in reserve to cover injury crises or to play alongside young rising stars in the FA Cup. No doubt after they retire, they will both be coaching and mentoring such players anyhow.
The other reason to move on is that United have other first-team squad players who haven't been given a fair crack of the whip, including those same young academy graduates.
Time for the next generation to step up
Some of them have not exactly blossomed in the meanwhile. Whether it's through demotivation, lack of match sharpness or whatever, this has left question marks over the future careers of a few.
In the few weeks leading up to the transfer window, they must grab any chance they get at any level to impress on Sir Alex and reserves manager Warren Joyce that they are true investments for the future. Otherwise they might be sold or released even before they decide to leave the club of their own volition.
Premier League football is big business financially. Even ordinary players get ridiculous amounts of money for not even playing on a Saturday. There really is no time for sentiment.
Harry Redknapp will have no reservations about moving on some of the massive amount of deadwood at QPR. While Sir Alex doesn't have the same problem, he has even more players registered on United's books.
Leaving aside the obvious need to make up a team for United's commitments in the Under-21 competitions, there are still players who will frankly not make it.
That problem will compound itself massively unless addressed soon, because only three over-21 players are allowed to be registered by any Premier League team for the U21s. That in itself will cause a dispassionate review of who should go.
At present United have no fewer than 11 players registered for the U21s this year who will be overage next season. That is the harsh reality that will lead to a thorough audit and weeding out over the next six months, starting in January.
Those players are:
Bebe, Macheda, Wootton, Vermijl, Veseli, Reese Brown, Brady, Petrucci, Tunnicliffe, Lingard and King.
So the first thing we shall do is review those players to determine who might have to go.

What was your source for this crocheting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Crochet Headband
What materials did you use? I've crocheted these in sugar n/cream 100% cotton for summer and in Red Heart Supersaver acrylic for winter
What are you most proud of? I love how it sits on my head and how I can use it in the winter to cover my ears and to keep my bangs away from my face in the summer. Use a cotton yarn for summer and acrylic for winter :)
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Add a button to the middle of the flower. I bought 4 lbs of buttons on ebay. They're fun to go through to find the right one! I tried making the headband in the flower pdf pattern but did not like it, so you can use the headband pattern listed on the right. That one's free!!

The story is great but the English is extremely bad. It is obvious that the person who actually printed the book had only rudimentry English skills. There are on average about 5 to 10 errors on every page. Smashwords needs a proff reader urgently. I'm sure the actual author didn't write the book this way. I am sorry to say, but this seems to be the norm with Smashwords books. Why don't you employ me to proof read your books before going to print?

From a writer that understands Thailand and how Thai women differentiate between 'love' and 'caring'; "Pregnant wife" is a book you start reading and keep reading. Always waiting for the next unexpected move in the plot. You recognise the real Thailand that he describes as he races to the last few sentences when the suspense is finally relieved.

Courtney lost $27 mil
It's not like it's a big deal or anything, but Courtney Love already has spent $27 million of her late husband Kurt Cobain's estate. "I know that's a lifetime of money to most people," Courtney tells Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, "but I'm a big girl, it's rock 'n roll, it's Nirvana money, I had to let it go. I make enough to live on, I'm financially solvent, I focus on what I make now."
The Hole frontwoman had a unique system for keeping track of the cash. "I had to run very fast to look after my money and I felt cocaine helped me do that," she said.

This was pretty good. I noticed that the recipe was missing cheese in the ingredients list. Also, I think to could be baked a little longer than 25 mins since ovens do vary. My 17 yr old son prepared this recipe for his final in Food Nutrition class.
This recipe was AWESOME!!! My family just loved it!! I'm sure this will be a new family favorite!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!! Jen Longview,TX

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — We offered FAU students the opportunity to share their behind the scene photos and observations of President Obama's visit to FAU on Tuesday, and we are pleased that some are taking us up on that offer.
Charlie Castro writes this (and provides the great photos, as well):Obama
"The scene of a packed Burrow at Florida Atlantic University full of 3,500 cheering fans was incredible. President Obama's visit created an electricity at FAU, that hasn't been seen here as students, faculty, professors all waited patiently and listened attentively. Obama related with the FAU students by saying "It's great to be here at the home of the Fighting Owls." Remarks like protecting financial aid made the crowd cheer as President Obama's speech dealt with the Buffett Rule as Obama emphasized that we're a country that doesn't give up. Obama urged to call your members of Congress and write and tweet them, and tell them to emphasize fairness for everyone and remind them who they work for."

Pigmnted lesion in labia minora
Q: Dear Dr, i know that may be i am posting my question in the wrong forum but really i need your help.yesterday i was taking a shower then i discovered a brown mass pin head sized, rounded not painful,elevated from the skin surface in my lower third of my labia minora. shall you tell me what is the differential diagnosis of this mass?what shall i do? Thank you so much
The differential diagnosis of vulvar lesions is large and it is impossible for me to comment on the lesion that you have. However, I would advise you to consult your doctor to rule out the presence of sexually transmitted infection.
Vulvar carcinoma is an uncommon gynecologic malignancy and may present as vulvar masses of irregular and polypoid shape. These lesions can be white, red, or pigmented. If the ulcer is suspicious for cancer, your health care provider may take a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis.

If you have any specific housing related questions that cannot be addressed through our webpage, please contact the Office of Student Life at Waldorf University: (641)585-8160 or 1-800-292-1903, extension 8160 or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please review all of the following information carefully:
ARRIVAL TO CAMPUS: Students will be given a move in date. Students participating in school-sponsored camps and/or fall sports are allowed to arrive on the assigned arrival date for their organizations. To ensure the University enough time needed to prepare all residence hall rooms and buildings, it is very important that students arrive on their scheduled day. Approval for an earlier arrival day may be obtained only under certain circumstances and only by contacting the Office of Student Life for permission. A $25 per day fee may apply. Unless you have been approved for an earlier arrival, please do not try to move in before your scheduled time.
ROOM KEYS: After checking in when you arrive, you will receive your room key from your hall staff. Upon arriving on campus, please check-in with the Student Life staff in the Salveson Lobby first and you will receive instructions on how to proceed.
HOUSING ASSIGNMENTS: Housing assignment letters are sent to students towards the end of July. These letters contain as much information as possible concerning the student's room, meal plan, parking permit, and mailbox for the fall semester. In addition, these assignment letters provide students with information concerning their roommate and all the subsequent contact information to provide students the opportunity to contact each other before the semester begins. Roommates are assigned using the Roommate survey, so please be honest when you fill out this form as Student Life does use this form to find you the most compatible match. If you have a roommate request, please make sure that this is listed on your housing form and turn the form into the Student Life Office early. Student Life will make every effort to match you with your requested roommate; however, if your requested roommate has not turned in their housing form by the time housing letters are being sent out, you will be assigned another roommate that has completed their housing paperwork. We strongly encourage students to only request someone that they have met and know they will be compatible with for the year. Some coaches may encourage their players to room together; however, you are not required to live with someone from your team or from your activity.
All residential students are required to be on one of two meal plans offered by Waldorf. All incoming first-year students are automatically placed on the 19 meal plan for their first semester (19 meals per week with $125 flex money). After the first semester, first-year students may choose to stay on this plan or switch to the 12 meal plan (12 meals per week with $225 flex money) or the meal block plan (125 meal block with $300 flex money.) All other students may choose either option that best serves their needs. Meals and flex dollars may be used at all dining venues on campus, including the Dining Hall, Warrior Crossing, and Gatsby's. If a student has special dietary concerns that cannot be met by the options offered across campus, an appeal must be made to the Dean of Students for permission to have his/her meal plan waived. The student will need to complete the special needs accommodation form as a part of this process.
COMMUTER MEAL PLANS (Timberland only)
Brian Keely, Director of Dining Services can answer any questions you may have. You can contact him at 641.585.8168 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
ITEMS FURNISHED BY WALDORF: For all the traditional residence halls on campus, Waldorf provides a bed, dresser, closet, drapes, and a desk and chair set. In addition, card operated washers and dryers are located in every residence hall and a limited number of telephones that can be checked out on a first come first served basis. The Waldorf Bookstore carries various phone cards that students can purchase and use for long distance calling. Waldorf also provides Cable TV service (included in room/board costs) in each residence hall room, but students are responsible for providing the cable cord (standard coax cable with male RF connectors on each end) that connects from the TV to the wall connection. This cable may be purchased at the Bookstore if unable to bring from home.
CARPETING: With the exception of Breen Hall and Timberland @ the Village Apartments, all residence hall rooms are uncarpeted. For most rooms, an area rug will provide adequate floor covering. However, students are allowed the option to fully carpet their rooms. Carpet is not to be secured to the floor with carpet tape or glue. The following dimensions have been measured for all rooms regarding proper carpet placement with the exception of Ormseth Hall, which has a few different room sizes. Johnson/London Hall rooms measure 14' x 6'1/2" which does not include the additional three feet of the room occupied by the built-in bed units that should not be removed. Students may contact the Admissions Office on campus to make arrangement to view a room to take proper measurements.
LOFTS: Most residence hall rooms have a ceiling to floor measurement ranging from 8"; to 8"6';. Students may contact the Admissions Office to make arrangements to view a room in order to take exact measurements. If students choose to build lofts, the following guidelines must be followed:
STORAGE: Each residence hall has a small area designated for storage of travel bags, suitcases, and/or certain furniture. Due to fire codes, the University is unable to allow empty boxes and lumber from lofts to be stored in these areas and all hallways must be clear of all belongings and boxes on each floor. Storage is primarily available for International students and out-of-state students traveling from long distances and these students are allowed to make special arrangements to store belongings in the summer months. All students may store a limited amount of belongings during the summer months for a fee to be determined by the Residence Life staff. During the school year, students must make contact with their Area Coordinator as soon as possible to make these arrangements as the University is not able to guarantee storage space for all students, especially for carpeting, large items, or furniture. Each item placed in storage must be properly packaged and labeled, the student's name and room number must be on each item stored. Please be selective about what you bring to campus and realize you are responsible for taking all your possessions home at the end of your academic year, if arrangements are not made to keep any in storage.
WHAT TO BRING: Pillows, sheets, blankets, bedspread for an extra long twin bed. Small appliances/equipment such as clocks, radios, televisions, stereos, small microwaves(no larger than 700 watts), and refrigerators (no larger than three feet in height) are allowed in your room. Maximum one refrigerator allowed per room.
WHAT NOT TO BRING: Halogen lamps, water beds, hot plates, candles or any appliances with an exposed heating element are forbidden because of fire code regulations. Window air conditioners are not allowed.

▪ Objective: To evaluate behavioral, demographic, clinical, and histologic variables that independently influence gastroduodenal mucosal prostaglandin concentrations.
▪ Design: Prospective study.
▪ Setting: A clinical research laboratory located in a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
▪ Patients: Fifty-two healthy adults who had no history of peptic ulcer disease and who were not receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
▪ Measurements: Mucosal biopsy specimens were obtained endoscopically from the stomach (body and antrum) and the duodenum (bulb and postbulbar area). Mucosal extracts from each of these four regions were assessed by radioimmunoassay to determine prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin F2α concentrations. Specimens were also examined histologically for inflammation and the presence of Helicobacter pylori. A multivariate linear regression model was used to determine which behavioral, demographic, and histologic variables significantly and independently influenced gastroduodenal mucosal prostaglandin concentrations.
▪ Results: Smoking and older age were independently associated with lower prostaglandin concentrations in all four mucosal regions (P = 0.0001 to P= 0.05). Compared with results in young nonsmokers, mucosal prostaglandin concentrations were reduced by 70% to 80% in older smokers. Gender, alcohol use, endoscopic appearance, dyspeptic symptoms, mucosal inflammation, and the presence of H. pylori had no consistent effect on prostaglandin content.
▪ Conclusion: Smoking and older age are associated with significantly reduced gastric and duodenal prostaglandin concentrations. These observations may help explain the predisposition to ulcer disease in smokers and older persons.

I must admit, I'm happy my state has two Republican Senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. It's certainly better than the alternative, whether one or two Democrats. However, there are so many times that I wish they'd give us conservatives more than what they'd do.
So, for once, I am happy to see one of my guys taking the lead on an issue, especially one as dangerous and pressing as SWATting. Sen. Chambliss sent out a press release today saying the following:
Today, U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder regarding recent reports that several conservative political commentators have been targeted with harassing and frightening actions. Chambliss demanded that Holder examine these cases to determine if federal laws have been violated.
Thank you, Sen. Chambliss. It's good to know someone on the Hill is listening. Maybe he can get Orrin Hatch to help get more Senators behind this. I've included below the fold some highlights from the former's letter to Eric Holder on the matter (full version is in the press release).
The use of SWAT-ting as a harassment tool is apparently not new, but its use as a tool for targeting political speech appears to be a more recent development...While these incidences are currently small in number, and have fortunately not led to any accidental physical harm, they are extremely concerning. The perpetrators appear to be targeting individuals who are vigorously exercising their First Amendment rights to political speech...Regardless of any potential political differences that may exist, threats and intimidation have no place in our national political discourse. Those who choose to enter into that political discourse should not have to worry about potential threats to their or their family's safety.
Preach it, Senator!
Will Eric Holder respond to Chambliss' letter by the date specified (June 29th, 2012)? If it's like how he's responded to the Black Panthers at the voting stations, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Reading the John Updike stories: 'Walter Briggs'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
In Updike's slight story "Walter Briggs," the young married couple Jack and Claire are driving back from a thing in Boston with their two droopy little kids in their car. They're passing time in the enforced setting, as these young Updike couples of the late '50s seem to do, with a verbal game: "Who's Best?," riffing on people from their past. »Read Full Blog Post

Q: I love my BooBoo cat but he drives me crazy. He shreds the corner of my new sofa! I will never declaw him, but I have to stop this behavior. Why is my cat scratching the sofa?
A: Your cat BooBoo scratches your new sofa, marking it his as he gives himself a manicure. Cats scratch for many reasons, including nail maintenance. Cats have scent glands on the bottom of their paws, so when they scratch they mark and boadcast information about themselves to the world. Cats commonly scratch when they feel energetic and during play. They also scratch when they feel conflicted. After a refreshing nap, cats like long, fulfilling stretches accompanied by scratching.
Although your cat must scratch, he doesn't have to scratch your new sofa. Change your cat's scratching surface to something more appropriate and less damaging by first blocking the areas on the sofa he's scratching. Cover the targeted areas with a double sided tape, such as one specially created for cats and sold in pet supply stores, or with a material such as a sheet that isn't conducive to scratching. Whenever making an area off-limits another more fulfilling scratching surface, such as a tall scratching post has to be placed in front of the now blocked-off area. Some cats prefer posts that are wrapped in sisal; others enjoy posts wrapped in carpet. Ideally, the new post shouldn't have the same texture as your carpets or sofas.
Your cat might naturally gravitate to scratching the post or you may have to jump-start the behavior by playing with him around the post with one of his favorite toys. Also, you can influence him by scratching the post with your fingernails. When your cat does scratch the post, reinforce him with praise and treats. Clicker training works great for this. After you pair the sound of the clicker with a treat, click to mark as he's scratching the post. Toss him a treat after the click. Your cat soon will realize that it's more rewarding to scratch the post than the blocked sofa.
The post doesn't have to be a permanent fixture in front of the sofa, nor does the sofa have to remain swaddled in double-sided tape, After your cat consistently scratches the post, move it one inch a day to another location in the same room. Don't hide it from view. Remember, your cat marks his territory when he scratches, so the post must be visible. After you permanently relocate the post, gradually remove the double-sided tape from the sofa.

It's a natural thing for kitties to scratch. The key is to get them to scratch appropriate things. Thanks for the article.

I have a tip that will reliably stop cats from scratching on soft furnishings. its not declawing. I will write a comment and share my 'secret' if you will publish this tip on your website. I show cats in CFA and have lots of experience. Our cats live in our home and our furniture is not damaged. We do have sisal rope cat 'trees' and climbing post - that certainly helps. But that alone will not alleviate this problem. My technique almost totally eliminates it.

DNA PROBES are about to revolutionize the diagnosis of infectious disease. So predicted several representatives of laboratory medicine and the biotechnology industry who spoke at a symposium, "DNA Probes in the Practice of Medicine," sponsored by the American Medical Association this spring in Washington, DC.
It is hard to challenge such a forecast. In theory, the probes—tiny fragments of DNA that bind to identical complementary DNA fragments—have unsurpassed diagnostic potential. They can identify any living organism, be it virus, bacterium, or cellular parasite, by a certain stretch of DNA that belongs to that organism exclusively. Thus, probes may be developed for DNA that is exclusive to one species of bacterium or viral strain or common to all species in a given bacterial genus or viral class.
It is this property that makes geneprobe diagnosis so attractive, according to David C. Ward, MD, professor of human genetics, biophysics, and biochemistry, Yale

Getting ready to start my young horse (4 years old) up again this spring. Horse was started under saddle last spring and has had the fall and winter off. I never did get a saddle to fit her right. She has one shoulder larger than the other, a flat, short back (saddle bearing area) and not much wither. Plus, she is wide. I don't necessarily have to have a dressage saddle. Ideally, I'd like a jumping/all purpose and a dressage. This horse has amazing movement and I don't want to ruin it by an ill fitting saddle. Open to suggestions. I do not want a Wintec.

When you looked at the Champions Trophy schedule prior to the tournament, it was clear what would be the most fitting finale.
With England hosting the competition and having never tasted victory in a global 50-over tournament, it seemed the stars were aligned for Alastair Cook's side to do well.
An excellent home record combined with their recent improvement in one-day international cricket meant the eight-team tournament's final edition represented a great chance for England to end their drought.
Yet if they are to achieve their ultimate ambition, the hosts will have to overcome a sizeable challenge against unbeaten India - who have shown themselves very adept at adapting to English conditions.
Boasting an array of youngsters who have brought much-needed vigour, particularly in the field, Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team is completely different to the one he led to World Cup glory just over two years ago.
That has proved a positive with newcomers such as Shikhar Dhawan and Ravindra Jadeja among the stars of the competition thus far; there is little doubt that India have been the best side in the Champions Trophy in the same way there is little doubt the nearest challengers to that title have been England.
How fitting then that the best two teams in the competition should contest the final - something that, amazingly, often does not happen in these events. It is a final that is all the more intriguing for such a clash of styles too.
While India boast a powerful top three for whom attack is seemingly the best form of defence, their English counterparts are more calculated with the aim being to lay a platform for their power hitters down the order.
You could argue that the latter approach will win the day more often, - particularly in English conditions given the remarkable consistency of Cook, Ian Bell and, in particular, Jonathan Trott - but India are in a hot streak with Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli firing on all cylinders.
It is, therefore, likely the performances of the aforementioned trio will decide the game, for they have yet to be tested by a seam attack as dangerous as England's. In James Anderson, Cook can call upon a paceman at the top of his game, one who almost guarantees a wicket in his opening spell.
Early breakthroughs would leave India in a position they have yet to face in this tournament, of having the middle order undertaking a repair job; on the other hand, getting through the opening overs would leave the World Champions in prime position to add another title.
It promises to be an enthralling battle; a battle which will no doubt be decided by the finest of margins; a battle between two excellent sides with completely different approaches.
All I can say for certain is that it's the one I, like many, dreamt about when this event kicked off 16 days ago.

Marshall Riley's Army – Lindisfarne
In October thirty-six they took a trip,
The men who made the ships,
Searching for some kind of salvation.
With heads held high, and dignified,
The towns folk and passers by,
Held them in some kind of admiration.
March on, Marshall Riley's Army,
Marching for your rights,
You've surely earned them.
Any among you who grew up in NE England in the 70's can probably quote the whole song word perfect, but I wonder how many have reflected on the meaning. I remember heading for the library at the time to figure out what it was all about. (If you are wondering why I chose to link to that particular rendition of Marshall Riley's army on youtube, it is because I was very probably in the audience at that concert !)
For some time now I have been mulling over a couple of unconnected questions, but had not decided who to ask about either:
Both were answered for me today, before I even asked the questions, by my cousin Julie Crackett-MacFarlane, who published a comment on facebook with a link to a BBC History article about the dire employment situation on Tyneside in the mid 1930s following the closure of Palmer's Shipyard. Her grandfather, Edmund Rudd Crackett (1907-1974), who is my 3rd cousin once removed, was born in Jarrow, County Durham. In his early thirties he joined the Jarrow March to London in October 1936 to fight for the right to work and provide for his family. It was Edmund who subsequently made the decision to uproot his family and move to the Midlands in search of employment, where they established a thriving group of Cracketts in the Sandwell area.
A big thanks to Julie for triggering my thoughts on this subject and giving me permission to publish a post about her grandfather and mention her as a contributor.
In the latter half of the 1700s my Cracket / Crackett relatives were agricultural labourers in the Lowick, Kyloe, Shoreswood and Norham area of North Northumberland. With the opening of pits around that area many of them moved into the mines. It is interesting to see that as old pits closed and new pits opened they migrated south en masse to the Chevington, Barrington, Bedlington and Choppington collieries. My granda George Crackett (1890-1978) grew up in the hamlet of Choppington Colliery.
This undated photo is of Barrington Colliery. I do not have a full overview of which of my Cracketts may have worked there, but one who most likely did is my granda's uncle George, born 1833 at Cornhill-on-Tweed. In the 1871 census this George Crackett is living in the hamlet of Barrington Colliery and has the occupation coal miner. (Thanks to Geoff on the facebook group: Sixtownships History Group for allowing me to borrow his photo.)
The power of social media🙂 A young man viewed my LinkedIn profile today because we share an uncommon surname: Crackett. I looked at his profile, recognised the name and looked him up in my tree and found that he is my 4C2R. The ancestral couple that we share are my 3rd great grandfather, William Cracket, born about 1791 in the Lowick area and his probable wife Isabella Gowans, shown on some documents as Bell Cracket, born about 1795 at Holburn in Northumberland. Since they are his 5th great grandparents that gives us the "twice removed" from the two generation difference in our relationship to them.
My Granny and Granda Crackett had a rather unusual house. The front door was on Church St. and the back door was on Wellwood St. and the ground floor corner of the property was a shop (not theirs).
This photo (courtesy of Stan on facebook group "Old Amble in Photographs") shows her back door. Opposite the Congregational church. Just past the crossroads and before the traffic sign. Those of you who grew up in Amble in the 50s. 60s and 70s may remember granny. Often to be seen at the back door. Knitting needles in hand and ball of wool in pinny pocket. And if you dared to sit on the Congs church wall she would chase you. She also sold Longstaffe's bus tickets and vegetables from the allotment from her kitchen.
My problem as a child was that from this central position she had a full view of every possible way to go up or down through the town. Even on my bike I couldn't whizz past her fast enough for her not to see which way I was going and ask me the next day where I had been !!
I have added three new topics to my page DNA plus paper today:
You can access them from the link in this post or from the menu line of Digging up the Ancients.
Just as an aside, the lady in the picture directly above the menu item is my great aunt, Dorothy Ann Crackett, (1888-1974). She was born in Choppington, Northumberland. She married Ralph Tweddle in 1909 and they lived most of their married life in Radcliffe, Northumberland. (Just realised that if you are looking at this on a tablet, then the menu item is under a different lady. Sorry folks, I will have to look at how to optimise for reading on other devices.)
Had to smile at this rather pretentious certificate. This is what you get after a half hour e-learning course if you take the little 20 question quiz at the end. The course had the silly title "Learn About Your Ancestors Using the Latest from Ancestry". The actual content is a run through the main features of the new format, including the Lifestory functionality. I wish they would not call it lifestory, as until you go through and edit each lifestory it can include a number of time related historical events that are totally irrelevant for the ancestor concerned. My objective in taking the course was to see whether to wait or jump in and go over to the new format now. If you are wondering about the result of this decision making process, here is a snippet of my paternal line in the new format:

On the money: Tyson NPD to increase value-added sales
By Katy Askew | 7 May 2013
Tyson NPD to drive growth
Tyson Foods has insisted its multi-protein approach leaves it well-placed to benefit in the remainder of the year as consumers opt for cheaper protein options over beef, with NPD set to drive future revenues.
In its second-quarter update, released yesterday (6 May), Tyson said its margins had been dented by lower beef sales. The high-margin beef segment suffered from lower demand as US consumers increasingly looking to cut household expenditure, opted for "value" protein options, such as chicken.
Tyson also cut its forecast for annual sales from US$35bn to $34.5bn. The company's shares fell in the wake of the results, closing down yesterday 3.33%.
However, addressing analysts during a conference call, CEO Donnie Smith emphasised that, while the group's beef business had seen a soft quarter, its chicken business had benefited. "Total beef dollars sales increased nearly 2% but pounds declined nearly 4%. Chicken benefited from customers who move away from beef. Pounds sold were up 2%, while dollar sales were up 7.6%. Tyson, the number one brand of chicken in the US, drove category growth."
Smith added: "Our multi-protein, multichannel, multinational model provides for a balanced approach that enables us to take care of our customers and grow over time."
Of the group's protein businesses, beef has the highest margin. However, Tyson is working to increase its exposure to value-added - and therefore higher margin - sales across all of its categories, from beef to chicken and pork. Smith revealed this will be achieved through product development.
"Year-to-date, we've grown value-added sales by 3.3% as we started filling up the innovation pipeline," Smith said.
The chief executive reiterated the company's goal of growing value-added sales by 6-8% annually and said that the group is on-track to achieve this.
Tyson is pursuing an "aggressive" product launch schedule, with around 90 new items due to hit the shelves this year. For example: in hand-held Smith said Tyson is focused on "whole-grain items and bold flavours"; it is planning a line of gluten-free chicken nuggets and other gluten-free breaded products; and, in the no antibiotics ever category, the group is looking to build on the NatureRaised Farms brand of fresh chicken, which was launched in February.
The company, which generates the majority of its business in the US, is also looking to expand internationally and was upbeat on its performance in Brazil and Mexico. An outbreak of avian influenza in China has hit demand for poultry in the country, even though it has not "directly affected" Tyson's production, Smith said.
Tyson incurred an unrelated impairment charge in China after deciding to spend money lined up for investment in a poultry complex elsewhere. The company had expected for its Chinese operations to reach break-even point in the fourth quarter of the current financial year but the combination of lower demand in China for poultry and the impairment charge means that position is more likey to be reached in its new financial year.
Nevertheless, Smith was optimistic about Tyson's prospects for China and said the flu outbreak underlined the importance of the company's business model in the country.
"I think long term, this validates our business model in China, which emphasises biosecurity, supply-chain integrity and food safety," Smith insisted.
BB&T Capital Markets analyst Heather Jones said the loss from Tyson's beef division meant the company posted a "surprisingly weak Q2".
However, Jones was upbeat about the rest of the year for the company. "Management highlighted company specific issues that impacted Q2 performance. Those, however, have been or are close to being resolved. Further, overall industry fundamentals have improved. This, combined with exceedingly positive current trends/outlook in chicken, give us confidence that H2'13 should be much better than H1 and last year. In fact, we have raised our H2'13 estimate and believe that investors should buy on weakness," she wrote.
She also agreed with Smith's assessment that the avian flu outbreak in China "should benefit Tyson's business model there". She added increased international trade should also benefit the struggling beef business.
"Business to Japan has picked up, following its adoption of more relaxed import rules," she observed in an investor note. This, coupled with an improved margin outlook, boded well for Tyson's beef operations, Jones suggested.

Pay it forward for a nun who has changed your life
How refreshing and inspiring it is to continually hear about the great work that our Catholic sisters are doing around the world. As I noted in a blog here the other day, Nick Kristof writing in The New York Times weighed in with a column about these great women. Even with all the institutional woes of our church, the real work goes on, and all you have to do is go to the poorest areas of developing countries and you'll see that a substantial amount of that work is by nuns.
Author and occasional NCR contributor Paul Wilkes last year wrote about his experiences, highlighting some of the selfless work of the Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco of the Bangalore Province, after a trip he took there. (First piece; second piece).

Drool-Worthy Fall Organic Fabric Lines & Free {Easy!} Baby Quilt D.I.Y's.Selena Mills
The warm weather is upon us and it's time to bust out the soft blankets, cozy knits and layer up. Not to mention, fall cooking. Oh, how I LOVE fall cooking.
Yesterday I shared some of my choice fall looks for the mini fashionista in your house (and mine).
Today, let us drool over some of my favorite fabric designer's fall lines.
A couple of weeks ago, the Fedex man made me a very happy crafty wench, with a fabric delivery from said wholesale accounts for my own fall and winter lines.
In case you don't know, I have a wee business making heirloom and simple baby quilts (among other things).
I got to thinking that I should share my finds with you mamas, in case you get the desire to run with scissors and make your own.
I've even included this handy dandy D.I.Y. on how to make your own baby quilt. An EASY D.I.Y. For reals. Or, this super simple tutorial if you don't want to do the squares.
Scared of not being able to get crisp points when sewing your squares together? Have no fear, this post with video included will have your inner craft goddess shining in no time. The actual tutorial is for a picnic quilt, no matter — the pointers you need are there. And maybe you want to make a picnic quilt? Delicious fabrics after the jump.
Are you an avid DIY'er? Not so much? Share your hit & miss projects in the comments! Or link up! I love me a good tutorial.
