It is still raining, and to top it off my humans are sick. That means they're sniffling and coughing, and blowing their noses every few minutes. How is a dog supposed to get any quality napping done in these circumstances? And of course it also means no walkies, and no trips to the dog park. One of them will bundle up every now and then and take me out to the corner to do my business. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to take care of them until they get better, I'm pretty sure the bunny and the guinea pig can't be trusted to do it.
There is an upside to the humans being sick though, they are way to tired to enforce the rules about me taking stuff of the living room table, and I even managed to liberate a nice piece of meat from the kitchen table and I don't even think that mom noticed it. They are also sleeping a lot and they make nice pillows for a tired dog.
Today has been a pawsome day. My diary was chosen diary of the day and I am one grateful dog. All my friends have been congratulating me and I want to send them all thanks. Tessa and Fitzcairn sent me a diamond, Zoe sent me an ice cream (yumm), Harley and Jazzi sent me a beach ball and Peek a Boo and family sent me a yummy steak. Then Forrest made me speachless by sending me a wonderful picture to put on my page. What pawsome friends I have, I am one lucky girl.
It has been raining something fierce here today, so we have been having a lazy day, only going out when I need to go, and keeping it as short as possible. Mom and the Boy decided to have a movie night and in honour of me they watched Snow Dogs and Eight below. I was amazed to see my friend Demon in Snow Dogs, but mom explained that it was another Husky by the same name. It was great fun, but I thought both movies could have done without the long scenes with the humans. They could have left the humans out altogether as far as I'm concerned. I got to taste the cake my humans were eating, but they wouldn't give me any of the chocolate, witch was alright as they gave me plenty of dried liver instead, they don't seem to like the liver, witch I don't understand as it is my favorite treat, but that just means more for me.
I have been hungrier than usual today, and I could not keep up with my hunger strike. I think mom may be sneaking me medicine in the crunchy cheese, but who can resist cheese? As I have said before, my mom can be a very sneaky woman. My nose is also feeling a lot better, I sure hope that I don't run into another wasp anytime soon. Even Baby the bunny felt bad for me, and Lucky the guinea pig licked my nose and tried to make it better.
I think I'm going hop onto the sofa with mom and take a good nap and enjoy being princess for whats left of the day.
I don't know how I would have survived the day without my good dogster pals. I got two beautiful fireworks, the best kind, you know, silent from my good friends in Scooters family and the other one from Zoe. And Scooters family gave me a wonderful forever heart. Also there are now over 440 bones on my page. I am so thankful for my friends cause the rest of the day was simply horrible.
To start of mom and the Boy took me to, prepare yourselves, THE VET. Apparently my hunger strike has taken mom over the top, and she insisted that I needed a checkup. The Vet wasn't too bad actually, but she did poke and prod a lot, checked my eyes and ears, listened to my hearts and lungs and did some tests and decided that I have a multipronged problem, consisting of mental (missing my sister), allergic (some redness between my paws) and seasonal (too bloody hot to eat anything).
The brilliant results the humans came up with is to give me steroid pills for the next two weeks, to see if it resolves the "situation" any. I'll tell you right now, I am not, repeat, not taking any pills.
We went to grandma's after that, and she was really nice and apologetic after the horrid VET visit, and she gave me about a teaspoon of really tasty paté, with a funny crunchy center. It was really good.
Then we all went to the thrift store and mom bought a nice cabinet to put the TV on. The old one was capoot, and was dangerous to innocent dogs who were simply walking past it. It cost about 2 dollars and mom was really happy with that. While they were shopping I guarded the car diligently and when they came out with the cabinet, I helped with getting it in and setting it up properly in the house. You just can't trust humans to do things right.
Before dinner mom gave me a nice bit of cheese, witch is unusual because she usually insist on giving me my raw diet only. The cheese had a strange crunch to it so I assume that it is some new kind of cheese. Happily no pills have been offered to me today.
Then after dinner we went for a walk, and while I was nosing around in some flowers and evil bee or a wasp stung my poor nose. I sneezed constantly and violently for about ten minutes, and blood and snot were flying out of my nose.
We are home now and mom is keeping a close watch on me to make sure I'm alright after all the horrors that I have been through today, many of witch she is directly responsible for.
I hope all my pals are having better luck with their humans.
Love Tracy

Well, any time you have to get off to progress it's going to impact somewhat harshly on your speed (and your flow).
Just keep at it (maybe find a slightly better route next time to avoid the mud) and you'll notice yourself improving in no time.

I've just ordered myself one of those ANT+ USB sticks and another GSC10 so I can give that trainerroad thing a blast. I'm a sucker for tech so I figure why not.
I'm going to have to find myself a cheap monitor to go with my laptop though as I don't want to lose my movie time!
When I first started cycling again after a long, long break just doing my 5 mile commute was a bit of an effort, so jumping straight in at 22 miles seems like a little too much a little too soon.
@Psychotext Trainnerroad has a a horizontal mode that runs it as an overlay at the bottom of the screen, so you can watch movies at the same time.
Not sure if it works universally, but have a look.
@sam_spade My missus restarted cycling with 8-10 mile round trips, and has pushed the distance up to about 35 miles now, a mix of road/towpath stuff. That's just happened naturally over time without being too hardcore about any of it.
Depends where you live, but targeting cafes at increasing distances from the house is a good target to work with
It's interesting to think back about how I use the gizmo/monitoring stuff.
I've got to a point where I can use it to train effectively indoors, but for the last few months when I go out on the bike I take the Garmin but I've set it up so it only tells me current speed, and that's it. Although the other data is there, I conceal it. I can check the map if I want, but often I just wander where I feel like.
It's very easy to start focussing on numbers, rather than just being outside and enjoying the fresh air. Guess that comes from the overlap of being a gamer and a cyclist!
Too true. I had to remove gradient from my main screen because as soon I saw it hitting 10% I used to just become totally demoralised.
@Sam. Being 10+ miles away from home can be a little daunting, a mechanical failure could really ruin your day.
Check GMaps or local OS maps and work out a selection of 3/5/10 mile loops to get started with.
That way you can nip out for quick rides when you get some free time.
My gear arrived today and I've just installed all the trainer road stuff. Am hyped, I just wish I hadn't done three hours last night as I wouldn't mind giving it a blast today.
Nice. Have you set it all up and got it running? It's pretty easy, but make sure you calibrate it for the wheel circumference you're using. I forgot, not that it makes a huge amount of difference.
If you're doing the FTP tests you want to be decently rested.
Yeah, I've got my missus on it at the moment.
I don't expect to get accurate figures from it anyway (mountain bike wheel will make a huge difference to the resistance), but obviously it'll still keep track of how much fitter I get even if the actual power / FTP numbers will be a certain percentage off.
Anyone tempted?

/checks Garmin for Money/Sense ratio.
I actually watched one of the women's elite riders at the Smithfield Nocture smashing it round with something like that in the wheel. It looked rock and roll.
I saw some girl riding with one of those in her wheel the other day (not exactly the same). Looked pretty good but I'm surprised it's road legal.
Well it must be true then, I am a misery guts.
Yeah, get back on your Penny Farthing, Grandad!
Ha, I'd get one if they were Ł5, er, Ł39+ no thanks.
Seeing more and more lights on cyclists these days. On helmets, backpacks, mud guards etc. Possibly going a little overboard, I'm not sure. Especially the front lights that are like car fog lights.

I currently have a couple of Knog-style LEDS on the front, with two Smart lights at the back - one on the bike and one on my rucksack.
I have my P7 UltraFire for unlit roads.
Have any of you guys had any trouble with ice, yet?
I'm dreading the day that I wake up to find that walking is the safer option.
I was a bit wary when out cycling last night.
I tend to hit up rougher trails when it gets icy. Helps the traction.
Not so useful for roads, though you could always go for these: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/studded-winter-road-mountain-bike-tyres-30-spa-cycles-1355555

I really wanted to try the cheaper 'cable-ties around the wheels' method, but I don't have disc/hub brakes on either of my bikes.
Unrelated, I just upgraded my Strava account to premium to see my suffer scores (now that I have heart rate linked to my GPS recordings). Interesting idea but I doubt I'll keep it in premium mode... I can already feel how much I suffered!

Mark Cavendish gets in on the crashing trend.
Obviously pros spend a disproportionate amount of their time cycling, but they do seem to get involved in an awful lot of accidents. Wonder if it's the complacency of being used to riding on closed roads a lot of the time, moving a lot faster than cars might expect or something else.

Sounds like it was his own fault tbh. That's why we keep stopping distances.

A pro rider must spend a lot more time on the public roads than on closed roads, though? No? On race they they spend maybe 5-6 hours on a closed road but all those long training rides in the weeks and days prior are out on the road.
Happens quite frequently that there's a fall/accident in training.
Edited by Salaman at 12:50:37 20-11-2012
Must have been catching a cheeky tow from the Lancia in front, getting some lead out train practice in. Been about 2 years since he's had a train, must be rusty
I thought I'd seen it all.
Then I saw the Rapha Chris King coffee tamper.
Yeah. For some reason (I think doing a mass Rapha order for the office, me and my mate ahead of my JOGLE trip) I have access to the Imperial Works collection. There's a leather race bag in there. A snip at Ł595.
But then, a Chris King headset is what, 90 quid? I've never seen the point when you can get a very good one for a third of that.

Imagine a wizard of sorts that is glowing with power and unearthly - almost like an angel might appear. This character is walking towards another character about to unleash on them. The question is, what is the balance of practical and digital with a show like that? Is green screen the only way with a lot of compositing to see the light laying over the surfaces of the scene or is there something that can be done practically to help?

The update also brings "Paper Artist" to the handset. This allows you to turn a photograph into a pencil sketch and then enhance it using tools on the phone. In addition, the Caller ID app has been revised and Flipboard is now pre-installed on the phone.
The changelist is long and you can check it out by looking at the image below. We should point out that the update takes 5 to 8 minutes to download and another 5 to 8 minutes to install. If you're like others, the installation process will probably feel like the longest 480 seconds of your life. The update is coming OTA, so be patient because not everyone will receive it today, tomorrow or even the next day.

It all depends on driving record, age, and accidents you've had. I've been with State Farm for over 10 years now. I've had a couple of written warnings within the last year and I'm accident free. I pay $91 per month for comprehensive and collision. Probably the cheapest it's going to get. But hey it's worth it to protect my baby. So many ridiculous drivers out there just waiting to smash into my $27,000 car.
Being on parents' plan can be a huge factor...I think we get a break because we also carry our homeowner's insurance through Allstate and multiple car discounts, so our kid will get the benefit of that when she gets a car, down the road, and we have to insure it. (until she's done with school and working, at which time she can go get her own plan. )

I'm 25, married, and have one accident. I pay $60/month for full coverage with a $500 collision deductible and a $100 comprehensive deductible on the Outback. I paid the same amount within a dollar or so for the bugeye.
Being over 25 and married are two big factors for insurance rates. We also have our home insurance bundled in, so that helps as well.
I have nothing but good things to say about Allstate. They've been extremely helpful and responsive in the thankfully few times I've needed them. I had a check for the bugeye within 7 days after the accident, and they regularly followed up to make sure I was ok, and updated me on what was happening.

Allstate has been relatively good to us over the years, as well...but I have a natural distrust of all insurance folks. I got screwed bad by an adjuster after an accident in college, before i knew what I was doing, and the episode left me wary.

Has anybody looked into switching to Geico recently? I ask because I was trying to get an online quote the other day and when I went to select the vehicle, the wrx/sti was not listed on the drop-down menu, only imprezas and their other vehicles
Don't click that ---> http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/member...1-obp-sti.html
I have a clean record my girl has 2 tickets. I drive a 2013 wrx 5 door and she got a xv crosstrek the same day. We pay around 575ish every six months for both through country financial. I live in Colorado. multiple policy discount from our homeowners insurance also. Unbeatable.
Just called Geico actually, seemed very low at 108/mo. (seeing how I'm 21 and have been in a fender bender and had a speeding ticket). The guy said he put it under impreza 2.5 turbo GT or something like that, not sure what that is or if they group all the WRXs/STIs into just a general impreza category or what. Not sure here, anyone have any input on this?
The GT is the automatic version of the 09+ wrx

that's what I thought as well, maybe they classify the wrx the same as an impreza possibly? idk

In the 70's I did some work with Barber-Coleman for remote solar powered well pumps. They had a small amonia or freon turbine. The idea was to use a flat plate tracking solar water heater (which we already made) as the hot side and the well water as the cold side to recondense the fluid.
Something like that could work for you. You will need a heat dump. A radiator pointed at the night sky with a reflector to block it from the ground does pretty good. It is looking at about 3 degrees K if there was no air. Otherwise a big bag of water kept in the shade but also exposed to the open sky where the sun ain't.
The other ideas about pumping uphill are probably the easiest. Maybe your storage tank could be built into the top of Burning Man. It could power a massive array of white LEDs before it burns, like a solar powered Las Vegas Burning Man!

State may dump Hardie shares
State Politics
Page Tools
The Victorian WorkCover Authority will consider whether it is appropriate to hold up to $16 million worth of shares in the housing materials manufacturer James Hardie.
Among Victorian Government-owned agencies, WorkCover is one of the biggest holders of James Hardie shares. Overall, Victorian Government-owned agencies own shares believed to be worth up to $50 million in the firm. WorkCover owns between $9 million and $16 million of Hardie shares.
WorkCover decided to review its holding of Hardie shares at a board meeting on Friday, referring the issue to the finance and investment subcommittee.
In recent days the State Government has come under pressure from the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union to sell Hardie shares.
The company has been in the spotlight since a damning NSW inquiry last week found it had made misleading statements about a compensation fund it set up for victims of asbestos disease.
The inquiry found that a news release issued in February 2001 to the stock exchange, which said the compensation fund had sufficient funds to meet claims, was "seriously misleading".
WorkCover Minister Rob Hulls has asked WorkCover to analyse its shareholding in Hardie shares.
The State Government also wants to know what impact, if any, a move by WorkCover to sell Hardie shares would have on Hardie's ability to fulfil its requirements to victims of asbestos disease.
But Mr Hulls' spokeswoman said the Government could not tell WorkCover which shares to sell or buy.
A WorkCover spokesman said: "The board today (Friday) discussed the concerns about James Hardie Industries and referred the matter to its finance and investment committee for further consideration. The board will look at every option, but will always be mindful of the impact of action on its most important task - delivering one of the most generous benefits regimes for injured workers across Australia."
The Victorian Government has taken a good lead on the Hardies issue."
Martin Kingham,
CFMEU official
Also on Friday, the executive of the Victorian Trades Hall Council passed a resolution calling on all government agencies, superannuation funds and other entities to examine whether they held shares in James Hardie.
Trades Hall Council secretary Leigh Hubbard said it was "ironic and contradictory" for a health and safety regulator such as WorkCover to own Hardie shares. "We have got to send a very strong message to James Hardie," he said.
Martin Kingham, Victorian secretary of the CFMEU, said: "We are very pleased that (WorkCover) is going to conduct a review of its position. The Victorian Government has taken a good lead on the Hardies issue".

Hey guys/girls
i have a problem, its not much but still cant think of anything atm Im now thinking of a logo/banner etc for my own website but i cant think of anything usefull. what i do is making pictures of the environment with an hexacopter/multicopter. Normally i take pictures of landscapes and buildings, but i want to split that up with taking images of events/parties etc etc. the name is Skydronezwolle ( Zwolle is our hometown name ) & Skyevents, so the logo needs to be likewise but not to much. My own creation was a cloud with an eye in it (Sk)Eye) but i think its unprofessional and i need help with ideas to create something entirely new. with a small difference from the logo for skydrone zwolle & Skyevents
I hope one of you can give me some simple ideas so i can go on with creating an own logo/house style for my website. You can check it out on www.skydronezwolle.nl ( page is in dutch ) so you get the idea what i do. you can also check the facebookpage Skydronezwolle photography Problem is i need to set up skyevents and i want to merge the logo of skydrone, but it has to be something else then that lame logo i created.
http://www.skydronezwolle.nl/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/logo-website.png If anyone wants to point me to the right direction i would be VERY thankfull.
oops wrong place to post this, can an admin drag this to the request section?

A group of Independent councillors are celebrating after winning a ten-year long battle over the width of one Cardiff north road.
Rhiwbina councillors Adrian Robson and Jayne Cowan have been fighting Cardiff council to see Heol Llanishen Fach re-widened after it was narrowed some years ago.
The councillors said the narrow road – which affecting priority for traffic – was the biggest gripe of local residents.
Councillor Robson said:
"It was only a narrowing of the road but it caused so much trouble once it was put in 10 years ago. We have had specific motions to the council on it.
"Currently there's a road narrowing scheme there – but it was put next to a zebra crossing and a side street – making people unsure as to whether they had priority over the traffic coming the other way.
"It's the one thing we as councillors have had the most complaints about."
Now the road will be replaced with a "two-way raised narrowing" according to Cardiff council – who said the change was to ensure a "smooth flow of traffic":
A Cardiff spokesperson said:
"The priority narrowing of the road at Heol Llanishen Fach is being replaced with a two-way raised narrowing which will incorporate the existing zebra crossing.
"The removal of the priority element will enable smooth flow of traffic, while the ramps on the raised crossing facility will reduce vehicle speeds.
"This work forms part of a larger scheme which will create a 20 mph zone around Llanishen Fach Primary School and the adjacent community facilities.
"The scheme is funded via the Welsh Assembly Grant Funding under the Safe Routes in Communities Initiative."
What's your one ward gripe? Tell us below and we'll ask Cardiff council about it.

Location: Soil Drainage Research
Project Number: 5080-13000-010-19-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Mar 1, 2011
End Date: Dec 31, 2016
Objective 1: Quantify water and nitrate fluxes out the bottom of the rootzone into tile drains. This contributes to monitoring of water and N flux and storage, for "footprints". Objective 2: Develop science-based knowledge that addresses climate mitigation and adaptation, informs policy development, and guides on-farm, watershed level, and public decision making in corn-based systems, using both conventional and organic production practice.
1. Our comparison is Drainage Water Management (DWM) vs. conventional "free" drainage. We will be using a farmer cooperator site we have already established, building on regional work started in the recent Conservation Innovation Grant that just ended. Treatments: DWM vs. free drainage. Rotation: corn-soybean-wheat, only one phase each year. Tillage system: all sites are some form of conventional till, appropriate for that area. Treatment areas are large production fields or portions of fields. DWM reduces drainflow and nitrate loads from tile drained fields. It may also in some years, increase crop yield. 2. Our approach is to quantify and compare the water, carbon, and nitrogen balances between no-till based conventional practice (commercial fertilizer and pesticides are used) and organic practice (no chemical amendments) corn-soybean-wheat rotations on six small instrumented watersheds at the OARDC research facility in Coshocton County, OH. OARDC has agreed to provide field facilities, equipment, and support personnel to conduct the research plan through a Research Support Agreement with the Soil Drainage Research Unit. Analysis and interpretation of the data will be the responsibility of ARS scientists. Each phase of both rotations will be present every year in separate small watersheds where we will measure and account for the water, carbon and nitrogen. Precipitation, runoff, soil moisture content, and ET will be continuously monitored. Annual soil and biomass samples will be analyzed to quantify form and fate of carbon and nitrogen in the system. Runoff samples will also be analyzed to determine carbon and nitrogen migration from the system. Nitrogen and water use efficiency will be determined for both the conventional and organic rotation systems.

What makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ]

Saturday afternoon, I realized I was out of shaving cream. Rather than use soap, which just isn't ideal, I snuck into Eric's bathroom.
I sort of knew I shouldn't steal his shaving cream. The last time I ran out and asked him if I could have one of his extra new cans, and he begrudgingly gave me his half-empty one and then he opened a new one for himself. But when I checked his current can, it felt pretty empty. I didn't want to take an empty can, so I went under his sink where there was a two-pack of shaving cream, still wrapped in plastic. I busted one of them out and returned to my bathroom, where I took a shower and shaved. I planned to buy my own shaving cream at some point…soon.
Later that day, I hung some laundry over my shower curtain rod to dry. That meant the shower curtain was open a few feet, and you could see the purloined shaving cream in the shower. I briefly thought about moving it out of view, but I didn't think he'd care that much. I actually didn't even think he'd notice it. We don't spend that much time in each other's bathrooms.
Saturday evening, I went into my room to change my clothes. I took off my top and bra and was about to take off my shorts, when I stubbed my toe really hard on my closet door.
Eric came in moments later to see what the problem was, as he often does when he hears me screaming in my bathroom/closet (a surprisingly common occurrence). I covered my bare chest with my arms and told him what had happened. He was sympathetic.
Suddenly, he looked over my shoulder.
"Rachel," he said. "Is that my shaving cream?"
He had that kinda pissed/kinda laughing tone.
"No," I said. "I just…um…found it."
"Oh you found it? In my bathroom??"
"You have no proof! That could be my shaving cream!" I defended myself. "I could have bought it! Stop with these accusations and allegations and think about that!"
He didn't buy that for a second.
"I was all out!" I said, tightening my arms over my bare chest. "What do you want? A hairy girlfriend?"
"No, I want a girlfriend who buys her own shaving cream!"
We went on for a minute or two, mock arguing about it. Eric and I tend to have joking arguments like this from time to time; neither of us were that serious during the entire conversation. We were actually trying not to laugh.
"You better not have taken one of the new ones!" he said.
I froze. I wanted to deny it, but I didn't want to lie. I tried to look innocent, but my mouth twitched.
He was not amused.
"The one in your bathroom is empty! I didn't want to take an empty one! I was going to give it back!" I tried to make my case. "And why are you getting so precious over the new one? Yes, I opened the package and took out a new one. SO WHAT?"
He ignored me and marched toward the shower. Then he grabbed the shaving cream and marched past me back to his bathroom.
Suddenly I had an idea. I ran after him, still covering my chest.
"UNLAWFUL SEARCH AND SEIZURE!!!" I screeched.
(I watch a lot of Law & Order.)
He paused, considering this. I mean…I had a point.
"YOU VIOLATED MY FOURTH AMENDMENT RIGHTS! YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE SHAVING CREAM!" I argued." YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO COME IN TO MY BATHROOM!!!"
"Well, you have no right to be in my bathroom," he said. "So…get the fuck out."
I think the look on my face said, "Jeeeeeez, Mr. Selfish" for about a second before we cracked up; we tend to enjoy taking small things and turning them into ridiculously dramatic over-the-top "arguments" for our own entertainment.
He's pretty good about sharing a lot of things, but he doesn't like it when I help myself to his stuff without asking. He also gets cranky when I borrow his comfiest T-shirt (that he never even wears!) and didn't appreciate it when I borrowed his deodorant for a few days because I was all out.
I thought living in sin meant sharing, right? Does your significant other react like this when you borrow their things?
On the other hand, if he tried to take food off my plate, I would have reacted in exactly the same way. We all kinda have our things, I guess!

ok i took a class a little while ago and the sheets i got from it arent helping me. i keep getting to te end of the very first row and i will try to knit off the very last stich. everytime it doesnt work it bunches up. i dont kow what im doing wrong!
The last st in a row is known for being really loose. Keep knitting a few more rows and it may improve. Also, if you use the backward loop cast on, the yarn moves along and is very loose at the end of the row. Try the knitted, cable or long tail cast ons instead and see if that helps. Or you could just CO one extra stitch and let that last on drop off instead of knitting it, then turn and knit the next row.
That last stitch on the first row always is loose and when I knit the next row looks less than lovely as well. It does, however, tend to work out as you get further along in the project. you just have to be careful to not let the loose last st fall off the needle.
the LAST stitch in any row was previously the First stitch in the row.
as you progress, make a habit of making the first stitch (or two) snug..
as you 'work' a row, you move ease from stitch to stitch (think of a ball park WAVE--the ease moves from stitch to stitch.when it come to last stitch.. it gets stuck!
so the last stitch 'catches' all the ease of the row..
and this can make it loose and sloppy looking.
but if ,on previous row, you made the first (now the last) stitch snug. .it can absorb the extra ease with out becoming too big..
UNFORTUNATELY--its hard to do with the cast on row!
so you will have 1 row with 1 oversized stitch.
you can twist it to take up some of the ease..

British Colonial Slave Records Cover 1812 to 1834
Posted by
Those with African ancestors from the Caribbean, Sri Lanka or other former British colonies, take note: Slave registers of former British colonial dependencies, covering 1812 to 1834, are now part of subscription database sites
(which also has a pay-per-view option) and
The registers name 2.7 million slaves and 280,000 slave owners in 17 former dependencies: Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Berbice (part of what's now Guyana), Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Dominica, Grenada, British Honduras (now Belize), Jamaica, St. Christopher, Nevis, the British Virgin Islands, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Tobago, St. Vincent and Mauritius (an island off the coast of Africa).
Other information includes parish, age of slave, and sometimes, birthplace. Often, a slave used the surname of his owner, and ages were generally guessed.
Hundreds of thousands of African slaves worked on sugar, tea and tobacco plantations in British colonies. Britain made the slave trade illegal in 1807 and outlawed owning slaves in 1834.
Starting in 1812, slave owners had to complete slave registers every three years so the government could stem illegal trading.
Not all of the paper registers are part of the Ancestry.com or Ancestry.uk collection, including some from Jamaica, St. Christopher, Grenada, Dominica, Nevis, St Lucia, Demerara, Berbice, Montserrat, Bermuda, St. Vincent, Mauritius and the Cape of Good Hope. The originals are at the
British national archives

We're Honored
Posted by Allison
When it comes to recognizing useful genealogical tools and services, we're used to doling out the honors—from our annual
101 Best Web Sites
roundup to our "Libbys" libraries awards, coming in the July issue—rather than receiving them. But this week, we've gotten news that two awards have been bestowed upon
Family Tree Magazine
In a study of online traffic rankings, Utah-based professional research firm
found FamilyTreeMagazine.com to be one of the 50 most popular genealogical Web sites for 2008. Not surprisingly, heavy-hitting data providers
(both owned by The Generations Network) topped the list. Some of the other rankings might surprise you—see the
full list
ScanMyPhotos.com customers selected this blog as the Best Genealogy Reference Tool and Family Tree Magazine as the Most Popular Genealogy Publication in the 2008 Artistry of Genealogy Awards. You can read about all the winners at

It's nice to know that genealogists find our tools, tips and information so useful. We'd love to hear your feedback, too (both compliments and critiques): Tell us how you think we can make our magazine, blogs and Web site even better by posting a comment.

Free Site Has Lowcountry Slave Records
Posted by
Tidal marshes in the coastal areas of South Carolina, Georgia and extreme northeast Florida lent themselves to rice cultivation. Plantation owners would seek out slaves from Africa's Windward Coast—Senegal, Gambia, Sierra Leone and Liberia—where rice was indigenous.
The traditions of these Africans make up the rich Gullah-Geechee culture, and their lives are the focus of
Lowcountry Africana
, a free Web site that launched last Saturday with research guidance and records.
Its Lowcountry Lives link serves up life stories (hosted on project partner
We Relate
, a genealogy wiki) of Lowcountry ancestors. Right now, stories cover slaves from Drayton family plantations and their descendants.
An online Research Library has a reading room (which links to off-site articles), resources for teachers, and links to free African-American databases on the historical records site
, another Lowcountry Africana partner (most of Footnote's records are by subscription or pay-per-view).
The Search Records link takes you to the Lowcountry Africana Community in the
database (also hosted by We Relate, AfriQuest will launch June 19 with a range of user-contributed records).
There, you can browse records or search by name, place and/or keyword. Matches link to source information and images or transcriptions. For example, the 1871 Freedman's Savings and Trust Record listing for Ceasar Smith linked to a transcription showing his birthplace, residence, age, occupation, family members' names and more (naturally, you still want to find the original record).
The records also include bounty claims (shown below) and other documents from Freedmen's Bureau field reports, as well as wills, estate inventories, Southern Claims Commission records and papers from Drayton family records.
You can submit your own records to Lowcountry Africana, too (click Help on the
Submit Items page
for instructions).

Does Genealogy Make You Smart?
Posted by
American Mensa
—the 50,000-member association for highly intelligent people—is making genealogy the focus of its Sept. 12-14 colloquium in Salt Lake City.
Tracking Granny's Granny: The Genealogy Quest
, "Mensans" (who qualify for membership by scoring in the 98th percentile or higher on an intelligence test) will attend sessions on photos, genetic genealogy and online research. They'll also take a field trip to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints'
Family History Library
Registration is open to the public, so folks of humbler intellect are welcome, too. Me, I'd probably be unable to shake the feeling I'm back in sixth grade and just finished my long-division worksheet dead last. Maybe a Mensan, after completing his own family tree in record time, would help me defeat my brick walls.
On the other hand, I wonder which came first: the genius or the genealogy? All that ancestral research and reading and analysis is bound to prod your brain into forming new synapses and becoming sharper. Maybe even Mensa sharp.
If nothing else, perhaps sitting long enough in a roomful of certifiably smart people will make some of it rub off.

Favorite Sites: Ohio Heritage, Tenement Tour, Animated History
Posted by
I wish I had time to thoroughly examine all the cool sites I come across every day (or maybe I should say, I wish I were more resistant to the temptation to surf).
So instead of bookmarking and then forgetting about today's finds (and later on, wondering why my Favorites list is so darn long), I'll share a few:
Ohio's Heritage Northeast

Lowcountry Slave Genealogies Released March 29
Posted by
Lowcountry Africana
Web site will launch this Saturday with groundbreaking research on genealogies of slaves on Drayton family plantations in South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas and Barbados.
Researchers from the
University of South Florida Africana Heritage Project
and descendants of slaves who lived on the plantations collaborated to compile and interpret the records. The
Magnolia Plantation
Foundation of Charleston, SC, sponsored the project and free genealogy wiki
helped develop the site.
Many of the records came from
Drayton Hall Plantation
(shown below in about 1880), also in Charleston, which holds the family's papers.
Lowcountry Africana will focus not only on Drayton plantation records, but also on those from throughout the former rice-growing areas of the coastal Southeast, which gave rise to the
Gullah-Geechee culture
African-American roots

Re: a strange line of code
These are essential symbols in functional programming, which you must learn
in order to take full advantage of Mathematica. The example you are using is
written in functional programming. You'll have to start from scratch, I'm

We found a resting place under the semidarkness of an oil tanker.
The semidarkness was tantalizing, overcoming, but the boy went bravely on.
Despite this evidence of a hasty toilet in semidarkness, he was not unprepossessing.
They let most of the candles in the dungeon go out, leaving the great stone chamber in semidarkness.
Without answering, the two were retreating into the semidarkness of the dining-room.
As far as they could see in the semidarkness, others were falling.
The squatter saw her first; but in the semidarkness did not recognize her.
Even in the semidarkness of the wickiup White Bear could see pain in her eyes.
That dream always ends by my standing there in the semidarkness talking to an empty house.
There the utter silence and the semidarkness quickly convinced them that they were on the wrong track.

If you can't find some of your favourite apps supported on Windows Phone 8 you may still be persuaded by Nokia's excellent and exclusive offerings included with the Lumia 920.
The first and most prominent, given Apple's calamitous Apple Maps launch, is Nokia Maps. This fully fledged mapping app provides map and satellite views as well as public transport and traffic views information. The map view isn't quite as slick as Apple Maps but the coverage and labelling is far superior putting it on par with GoogleMaps. Likewise the satellite view is detailed and accurate. However, you do miss out on the rather clever 3D satellite view of Apple Maps and Street View in GoogleMaps, plus there isn't a way to orient the maps to the direction you're facing using the phone's inbuilt compass – a bizarre and simple omission.
Perhaps the biggest boon of Nokia Maps, though, is that you can download the maps for use when you're away from a data connection, i.e. when abroad. The maps are inevitably quite large – the UK map is 278MB – and coverage detail varies but you could easily load up your phone with enough maps for a fairly long trip before running out. Worldwide coverage is also excellent with the vast majority of regular destinations covered.
Nokia Maps also offers a public transport view including the London Underground, while Nokia Drive provides an easy driving navigation service.
Another great Nokia feature is Nokia Drive which uses the same maps as Nokia Maps but presents them in a drive-friendly manner, providing big, easy-to-press buttons, quick access to destination input and readouts of estimated speed and distance to destination.
Nokia's final big software feature is Nokia Music. Not only does this offer a music download service like every other phone but there's also the unique Mix Radio feature. This offers free 1 hour themed mixes that can be downloaded to your phone for playing whenever and wherever you like. You can keep them as long as you like and download up to three at a time, with a pretty varied selection on offer. As a one stop shop for quickly filling your phone with new music, it's a nice extra.

Better start writing that epitaph.
32GB of memory, excellent. No microSD kills it dead for me. Shame my sons 900 seems really good; but no SD no buy.
This is a preview, not a review. Why is it under the Reviews section?
website back-end limitation
Funnily enough, we've just made an update that allows us to more clearly label our articles and we're just in the process of rolling out an editorial policy to make sure that happens. In other words, this and other first impression, first look, hands on articles will be clearly labelled as such from now on. They will, though, still appear in the reviews column as there are still some other back-end limitations in place, as ChaosDefinesOrder rightly points out. Sorry for any confusion.
Argh, how'd that get there. More haste, less speed...
Does it also fix the terrible comments system? ;-)
Chance would be a fine thing. We should be fixing it within the next couple of months, though.
Hmm yeah, I agree it is annoying, given this OS and the Nokia 820 now supports expandable storage. Sure 32GB and some cloud storage is plentiful but, and this is the same thing I thought of with the Nexus 7, having cloud storage and a high but capped storage capacity should not be used as excuses to not include a microSD card slot.
Looks like a pretty respectable handset, would like to see grey being replaced by blue however. And make all those colors smooth matte as opposed to fingerprint magnet gloss
Now this article has been re-released as a full review, maybe now is the time to correct that pesky screen resolution? See earlier post above (5 sept)
Twist my arm. Done.
...and would it be churlish to mention the size of the Galaxy Note 2 display? Should by 5.5 inches.
I would be interested in hearing about how Lumia 920 works as a phone, is voice quality good? In many mobile phones quality is so poor that it's unconvinient to discuss by phone.
I was planning on getting myself a red version , but the black one in this review looks so cool to me . And 32GB is more than enough for me .
I want to buy this sim free, is it out anywhere yet? Have found 2 places where it is on pre order for a week or more but still no phone! EE have it but am not paying for their overpriced service.
Lovely review chaps, thanks for this.
My overall impression is that it is a lovely physical device....but wouldn't it be nice if it was a Nexus device running vanilla Android?
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of Windows Phone 8 and I actually want a device (I think I'll get the HTC 8X if I go down this route due to the smaller screen and headphone amp) - the single biggest thing stopping me getting WP8 at the moment is the lack of Spotify - I'm a pro member and won't give that up. I suspect this is something that is holding a lot of people back - they've got apps they like in another ecosystem that aren't available on this platform yet.
You've been promising to fix the comments system since just after this version was introduced. A couple of months ago you said it would be fixed in a couple of months. In the meantime the comments section has almost died.
Sorry to sound like I'm having a go; this has been dragging on though. The biggest killer is the delay in posts showing up; that's killing the comments far more than spam would. I've been posting here for years; it seems daft and insulting that my comments still have to be approved.
It is imminent, I promise. We've committed to another service and done most of the development work for the transition but emergency issues elsewhere in the company meant our developers were pulled away from finalising flicking the switch. Any time in the next week or two the new system should be up and running though.
That's good news; the comments used to be almost as valuable as the actual review and it'd be great if we could get that back.
"the fact that the homescreen is simply one long list, rather than pages of apps" - I've not used WP8, but I'm surprised that it doesn't support a similar way of 'zooming out', like on Window 8 (and RT) to display groups of apps, that you can label and quickly jump to.
i love the colors of these phones, and the fact that AT&T carries them (and are compatible with 4GLTE). I have a hair salon in Dallas and our color scheme is exactly the same as all these phones. I could buy them all! (Of course, wouldn't that be nice, to have more than one you could use?!)

Rome's glorious cityscape, with its jumble of architecture from the ancient world to 20th-century brutalism by way of the medieval, Renaissance and baroque, has just one notable omission – a skyscraper. But this is about to change with the construction of a 30-floor tower that will drag the Eternal City's skyline into the 21st century and is bitterly dividing opinion in the process.
Construction of the 120m-high apartment block, dubbed the Eurosky Tower, is under way in the EUR district on the southern flank of Rome. When completed next year, the building will be among the tallest in Italy.
Designer Franco Purini has conjured two vertical blocks covered in granite and linked by bridges. "We shouldn't forget that in medieval times this city was full of towers," he said, apparently seeking to head off his detractors. Despite these medieval influences, Eurosky, he said, is to be "wholly eco-sustainable" with solar panels and biofuel power systems and even channels to deliver rainwater to plants and flowers.
However, Teodoro Buontempo, who is in charge of housing for the wider Lazio region, is not convinced that the Eurosky Tower provides the answer to the Italian capital's deprived suburbs. "Rome does not need eco-monsters, either vertical or horizontal," he said. "The real challenge will be to give the outskirts of the city some services – sewerage systems, wiring, roads. That's good administration."
Those defending the plans to develop EUR – short for Esposizione Universale Roma, the district conceived by Benito Mussolini to celebrate two decades of Italian fascism – claim it will provide much-needed housing. Critics point out the helipad, and question who will really benefit from the development.
However, it is the aesthetic argument that is raging most fiercely. The Vatican – in the form of Cardinal Giovanni Cheli – told La Repubblica newspaper that he would not want to see "a tower, 30m high, right in front of the Vatican".
Rome's mayor, Gianni Alemmano, appears to have convinced church leaders that the building will be sufficiently far away – five miles south of Papal headquarters – so as not to clash with St Peter's Basilica, the skyline's tallest structure.
And indeed, the Eurosky Tower appears to stick to the unwritten rule that all buildings in the Italian capital must be lower than the famous 138m-high dome, although Mr Purini denies altering his original plans to conform. However, his vertiginous creation may not the last. To the delight of modernists, Mr Alemanno – apparently keen to demonstrate his political transformation from neo-fascist boot-boy to modern-right politician – recently hosted a conference of big-name architects, which considered ways to incorporate additional buildings into the Roman skyline.
At this meeting last month, it emerged that other high-profile projects, including a residential tower by Renzo Piano and a "nuvola" (cloud) conference centre by Massimilano Fuksas, are also on the cards.
There are only 23 buildings in Italy that are 100m high or taller, and most of these are in the northern industrial hubs of Milan and Turin. The most famous, Milan's 1958 Pirelli Building, is considered a classic and is thought to have influenced the design of New York's Pan Am building.
But there are 27 100m-plus buildings in the pipeline. Milan, in particular, is seeing a burst of construction ahead of the 2015 World Fair. Four of these skyscrapers are due to measure in at more than 170m, but that is still roughly only half the size of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and pales besides American behemoths and rivals sprouting up in the Far East.
Some leading architects have suggested that Italy, with its treasure trove of baroque and classical buildings, has never shown much interest in modern architecture. At the end of last year, Frank Gehry, whose 76-floor Beekman Tower is soon to be inaugurated in Manhattan, told The Independent that Italy had turned its nose up at avant-garde architecture, with his proposals for buildings in Modena, Rome and Venice coming to nothing.
Mr Purini begs to differ. With forward-thinking works by himself and the likes of Piano and Fuksas in the offing, "things are about to change – even in Rome itself," he said. "The city needs new buildings and it's going to get them."

Anubias Help (liquid carbon?)
Currently running a low tech/low light 50G set up w/ 2 x 48" T5NO bulbs (28w each bulb). Recently purchased a variety of Anubias for the tank (most within the past 2 weeks). I'm dosing the tank 1 x weekly with Flourish Comp. I also recently started dosing the tank with Excel (5ml daily). It seems like the higher Anubias leaves are starting yellow (nothing extreme). Could this be caused by the Excel? I've read that these plants don't like high light (which I don't have), so I'm a bit puzzled as to why this is happening. Possible deficiency?
I should also mention that my photoperiod is 10 hours (should it be reduced to 8?)

Hi Guys,
I thought since Im going to be 9 months old tomorrow, I better get movin on making my first diary entry.
Lets see...lots has happened since I moved in with this family. (Crazy fam) My Mom decided to "remove my manhood" a few weeks ago. Not only did she remove those she took my toenails off! How rude is that? I think she did that because I clawed up her leather couch. What do you think? I only had my front claws removed, tho. Unlike my cat siblings, they had front and back! I have been kinda naughty since I got declawed. I have been peeing in my house and Im not talking about my litter box. My toes hurt so I didnt want to dig in the litter so I decided to pee on my Dad's backpack, in the hamper, on my skin brothers stuffed dog, on piles of clothes...etc etc. My Mom was so mad, she took me into the vet to see if I had a bladder infection. They said NEGATIVE! Its my behavior. So, I have decided to be a good boy and go in my box. My Mom changed my litter back to what she was using before I was declawed and she added another litter box in our house. Im happy now. Im not as wild as I was before I lost my manhood. I dont want to play with Tinkerbell (the canine) or chase Seymour. Oh well, life is good!

Mastercard ends blockade of Wikileaks donations
For almost three years, US financial giants VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, the Bank of America and Western Union have been engaged in an unlawful banking blockade against WikiLeaks. The blockade started in December 2010 in response to the start of WikiLeaks' publication of US diplomatic cables.
Now, one of the financial companies involved in the blockade, MasterCard International, has backed down and reversed its position. WikiLeaks was notified of MasterCard International's change in position by VALITOR, the Icelandic partner for VISA and MasterCard.
On April 24, 2013 WikiLeaks and DataCell won a lawsuit, which had been running for two years, against VALITOR for breach of contract and blockading WikiLeaks donations at the behest of VISA and MasterCard. The Icelandic Supreme Court ordered VALITOR to recommence processing donations to WikiLeaks.
VALITOR complied and reopened its payment gateway, but gave formal legal notice that it would terminate its contract and re-close the gateway on July 1, 2013, citing a unilateral termination clause in the contract.
VALITOR has now fully reversed its position and announces it will honour the contract with DataCell and process payments to WikiLeaks.
In a letter from VALITOR´s lawyers, VALITOR relates how it sought the opinions of MasterCard International and VISA on the proposed July 1 cut-off. In its response MasterCard made clear to VALITOR that it no longer desires to blockade WikiLeaks. VISA has not responded.
Donations by credit cards to WikiLeaks through https://paygate.datacell.com are therefore fully reinstated as of Monday, July 1, 2013.
Other financial companies have not yet retracted their illegal blockade on WikiLeaks, including PayPal, Western Union and Bank of America.
The Supreme Court decision in Iceland was in favour of WikiLeaks and DataCell, but it did not include damages - deemed a separate issue under Icelandic law. A court claim for compensation is currently being prepared. Damages are estimated at 9 billion Icelandic krónur (€55.9m or US$72.7m).
To donate to WikiLeaks by bank transfer or using other methods, please see: https://shop.wikileaks.org/donate

I have been separated for almost two years. I was with my partner, who subsequently became my husband, for 17 years and we have three children together (18, 11 and three). When I found out he'd been having an affair, for the second time, I left him almost immediately, which took an enormous amount of courage. He never once fully admitted to his infidelity, even with the 'evidence' stacked against him. For 18 months I was depressed (clinically) and angry, but now feel stronger than ever (mostly), with a resolve never to be used again. I have had a few dates (via the internet) and with them some renewed confidence. My dilemma, really, is that I think I may now be too picky. I have resolved not to compromise and have built up a picture of the 'ideal' man. I still believe in true love and am in pursuit of it. Am I setting myself up for disappointment, or is it right to have a 'wish list'?
You've written to a woman who having spent her entire romantic life swooning over enigmatic Mediterranean types got hitched to a talkative half-Polish half-Irish blond, so I'm unlikely to agree with a workable looks list. When people come up with a definition of what they want in a partner I'm always surprised at how little it usually reflects what they actually need. Where coveted attributes should be qualities such as lively or generous, enthusiastic or perhaps honest, instead you'll find blue eyes, theatre fan, opera lover or Man Utd supporter, and so on. I've never yet met a couple whose hobbies were shared or who based the success or failure of their union on mutual interests. Who wants to spend their lives so interlinked that they can't go to the football on a Saturday without the partner tagging along? If you don't have individual interests how can you hope to remain interesting to each other? Life will always provide enough daily fodder to underpin your conversations. Of course you'll end up doing certain things together, but it's as likely it will be something you've never contemplated as something you've taken an emotional bashing. What you need to do now is relax and be kind to yourself, and like day follows night the rest will follow.

So I'm looking for a good inexpensive LED light with a clip.
Currently I have an Energizer Aluminum body 3W LED light that I like, its a little large for EDC, but it lacks a clip, I also have the standard cheap 9LED 3AAA light that sucks, but is reasonably small.
I've eyed the Coleman Max CR2 at Walmart, and nearly left with one, but I really want a nice cheap light with a clip.
Any suggestions? Ideally under $30 as I tend to destroy things that live in my pockets and expect to replace it every few years.

Maybe you have destroyed your lights because all you ever had were POS. Not being smart but you get what you pay for. I have a PHD in breaking shi*t and my Surefires are still going strong even if they look like crap.
Just today I received a light for review. I took it out of the box, put batteries in it and dropped it into a gallon of water where it has been for 2.5 hrs so far and is still going at 120 lums on 2 AA batteries. Buy quality and cry once. I am liking this like and will be doing full review. You can get this particular light for around $70.- George

I know it's a little out of your price range but I LOVE my Fenix PD20. It is nice and tiny and puts out 190 lumens with 6 different modes including strobe. You can set it to instantly come on at 190 lumens or the lowest setting.
I agree that skimping on a flashlight isn't a good idea but I can't justify spending $100+ on a light.
The problem I have with paying for a surefire or similar light, is sooner or later if it DOESN'T get broken it will get lost.
If I have something on me daily, it covers a lot of miles, and a lot of situations. I live what you would call "an active life".
A while back I lost a really nice Benchmade knife, cost me about $120. I was really irked with myself, and made the switch back to cheaper knives. Not as nice, but they cut just as well. Just need a little more attention to keep em sharp, but I don't cry when I lose them.
Thx guys, I will definitely check out the Microstream. Any one know of any common brick and mortar stores that carry them so I can check one out?
I recently bought this light: Quark 123² Tactical, R5 Edition 4Sevens.Com Total cost - $69. Yeah, it's a little more money than you wanted to spend, but it's small and bright. If you don't mind a tad longer light, then get the Quark that accepts AA batteries. I got the one that uses CR123 batteries, as it's smaller and has higher lumens.

There are an incredible variety of lights now available. You can find one for any conceivable situation. I recommend checking out the Candlepower Forum, where you can spend hours and hours reading about flashlights: CandlePowerForums - Powered by vBulletin

the light with the lanyard pictured is a River Rock light; it's an LED, one AA battery light. it's bright enough to light a room, and it cost me less then $20 at Target. i had a similarly sized Inova, that i paid $30 for, and it only lasted me a month, until it crapped out on me after a light dunking in a river. the River Rock has been dropped, dunked, kicked, chewed on by a dog, and stepped on. it's beat up, but i can't figure out how to get it to stop working, other than removing the battery. one of the best torches i've ever bought; it beats my Streamlight Scorpion, in terms of run time, and ease of carry. i can carry it all day. it has a clip, as you can see:
the other light, with the rubber insert, is made by NEBO, who i've never heard of. it was sitting on the counter of a local gun shop, and it was only $10, so i picked one up, just to have an extra light. time will tell if it was money well spent.
nice, I see a trip to target happening during lunch. If they have one of those I will report back
Good luck. I haven't been able to find any of the river rock ones at my target
Thx, if I dont like this I think I will probably do the streamlight microstream
Thanks again all
I bought a Fenix LD10 off of Amazon for $45 or so. Great light, and I like the fact that it runs on one AA. It is well made and has 6 modes..
They have a good deal at costco for 2 160 lumen lites for 20.00 with batterys...

My lights are Surefires, but I am looking at the Fenix line. Seem to be a lot for the money.
