On friendship…
by Alina Mierlus
Walking through the streets of Sitges, I saw a sculpture of Rosiñol and Casas . On that sculpture there were the words of Rosiñol after discovering the place of Sitges:
Then well, my friends (…) I saw a land with more sun than most of the places, where the sky was more blue, the sea more blue as well (…). I came here to search for landscapes and I found affection. I came to see the sea and I found honest people, with joyful lips and seriousness on their insides. I came, as the butterflies for the light, and I got caught in a fire of friendship".
Friendship and people makes places special. It reminded me a bit why I came here and why I'm still living in this beautiful country of Catalonia. But most important, here I learned a lot about valuing friendship relationships over everything else. Nice and inspiring day yesterday.

Miracle Burn
The popular weight loss supplement is only available online.Top Rated Diet Pills of 2017
MiracleBurn is currently the most sought-after supplement on the market today. This highly recognized supplement is unique, in that it's the only one containing hoodia and Advantra-Z. Both hoodia and Advantra-Z have been thoroughly tested to ensure that MiracleBurn is the most effective and safest supplement available to the public without a prescription.
When paired with a balanced diet and a consistent exercise routine, Miracleburn can help you achieve weight loss. Some people noted benefits of combining Miracleburn are losing weight and inches, less likely to feel hungry, and boosted metabolism.
The active ingredients in Miracleburn, Advantra-Z and hoodia, work as a winning team to control the signals to your brain, reducing your feelings of hunger and giving you that extra energy you need to stay motivated to exercise. You'll even begin seeing noticeable changes after a few weeks of starting the Miracleburn program. You will continue supplementing your healthy diet and regular exercise until you reach your goal weight, or what Miracleburn calls your "Natural Weight Zone."
Hoodia is a natural herb derived from a cactus-like plant native to South Africa. Originally used by the San Bushmen for sustenance on long hunting trips, hoodia is now used as a natural appetite suppressant. Researchers located a molecule in hoodia known as P57. It is P57 that sends signals to your brain that you're not hungry. During studies, participants given hoodia consumed about 1,000 calories less each day than those given a placebo. It should be noted that the hoodia found in Miracleburn is authentic hoodia and the results have been proven through research. Few products can make this claim.
Miracleburn's other key ingredient is Advantra-Z, derived from bitter orange and has proven results similar to Ephedra, without the dangerous risks. This natural supplement is the only one available with a patent. Through clinical research, Advantra-Z has shown it contributes to speeding your metabolism to help you consume more calories, without any negative effect on your heart.
You don't just have to take the word of Miracleburn. Hear first-hand how Miracleburn has changed the lives of so many of its users when you visit the site online. With pre- and post-Miracleburn photos and touching comments from the users, you'll be even more convinced of the success you can achieve using Miracleburn.

terry ,y are u stuck with this miracle burn but not ephedrine?this has better result?
is this for real or is it another scheme? i'd hate to waste $40 for nothing
Anonymous - It took me close to a week to notice a difference in appetite
MiracleBurn actually doesn't contain ephedrine but does have Hoodia and Advantra Z in it. I actually prefer something with ephedrine in it but only in small doses!
If it has ephedrine in it eventually, it will cause you heart palpitations, and/or anxiety attacks. Especially if you are over 40.
Miracle Burn has Hoodia and Advantra Z in it which are none to suppress your appetite. I have not tried miracle burn but have taken hoodia supplements and combined with a balanced low calorie diet and a good cardio workout you can definitly get results faster!
I tried Miracle burn as well as Ephedrine - I like them both but I have stuck with Miracleburn.
I opted to try Miracle Burn due to its combination of Hoodia and Advantra Z. I saw instant results but they quickly faded. I think this is common with these "lose weight fast" diet pills.

text: SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Inc. (Nasdaq:AFOP), an innovative supplier of fiber optic components, subsystems and integrated modules for the optical network equipment market, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. Revenues for the third quarter of 2013 totaled $23,074,000, an 86% increase from revenues of $12,390,000 reported in the third quarter of 2012, and a 21% increase from revenues of $19,039,000 reported in the previous quarter. The Company recorded net income for the third quarter of 2013 of $5,621,000, or $0.31 per share, based on 18.1 million shares outstanding, compared to $1,892,000, or $0.11 per share, based on 17.6 million shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2012. This compares to net income for the second quarter of 2013 of $4,282,000, or $0.24 per share, based on 17.5 million shares outstanding. Included in expenses was stock-based compensation of $563,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, $268,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and $411,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Peter Chang, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "With the growing demand in data communication, we continued making progress in the business in the last quarter, and delivered record quarterly revenue exceeding the previous guidance. In addition, profit margins improved and resulted in record profits. The balance sheet continued to strengthen with improved inventory turns and a higher net cash balance." "Data bandwidth demands continue to increase and the next growth cycle in the fiber optics industry is emerging. While we are pleased with delivering record financial performance for this year, we are excited with the business prospects in the coming years. Even with year-end seasonal effects in the fourth quarter of 2013, we expect revenues in the quarter to be at a similar level, between $21.5M and $23.5M, which would represent 77% to 93% growth on a year over year basis. With this range of quarterly revenue, we believe we will end the year of 2013 with record sales and record profits as well," concluded Mr. Chang.

This paper presents a formal account of how to determine the discourse relations between propositions introduced in a text, and the relations between the events they describe. The distinct natural interpretations of texts with similar syntax are explained in terms of defeasible rules. These characterise the effects of causal knowledge and knowledge of language use on interpretation. Patterns of defeasible entailment that are supported by the logic in which the theory is expressed are shown to underly temporal interpretation.

Today on one start it turned over really slow, but did start. This was after a 5 mile drive, about 45 minutes for breakfast then started. Engine was warm but not hot. All subsequent starts were normal. Popped the top on the battery box and everything was clean and tight.
I've got 10,600 miles on the car. Gets driven at least once a week.

Having said that, they only have a 1-3% self discharge rate, so you are within that range from running it weekly.
Heat is not your friend either. Where is it located?
It sounds like your alternator is charging it.
Have you checked for proper connections everywhere? Heavy ground connecton to clean bright metal. Heavy connection from the engine to the frame? If you are using a one wire alternator, the ground is through the engine.
I have the 34R version of yours and it works fine after 1.5 years and 5000 miles.

I also have a red top in my '90 Mustang daily driver it is, no lie, almost 10 years old. It cranks the car up easily when cold (first thing in the am, when I leave work at night, etc.) but if I stop for gas or an errand on the way to work or on the way home, it does crank slow due to engine heat, so I know it's getting time to replace it.

You didn't say what the voltage was....at the battery.
Be sure and check all your connections for tightness and corrosion. Especially the kill switch if its sticking out under the car. My corroded kill switch let voltage pass to the solenoid (which hindered my diagnosis) but would not pass the current to engage it (which caused me a roll-back ride).
I would suspect all the connections first and then the Optima.
Good Luck.

Consumer Reports does a battery test every 3-4 years. The Optima is always in the middle of the pack; not rated very high in any aspect except safety.
The only reason I use one is because it sits right over the passengers feet. If there's a crash, I don't it to leak.

I turned to this type of battery because it is sealed, and the cells do not need refilling. Access for the latter would be tedious, given its location. During its time in the car, that battery has always started the engine within a split second: never any extended cranking at all. That said, I have a rebuilt 1989 donor motor with EFI, and the Red Top has never given even so much as a hint that it's not happy with its condition. I had had no reason at all to be dissatisfied with my choice of battery, though I do read above that others have had different experiences.

I spoke with a tech from Optima at a trade show and was told that trickle chargers will keep them up, but that trickle charging doesn't take them to full charge. The key, according to him, is twice per year, to either drive the car for at least two hours to get a full charge, or put it on a regular battery charger twice per year. He has a 57 Chevy with a 15 year old red top that he claims is still fine.

Learn Glass Painting
Glass painting supplies for beginners:
Getting started with glass painting
After painting, allow the piece to dry for 24 hours. You can also bake your glass painting; place it in a cold oven, turn on the heat to the required temperature, about 325 deg. Fahrenheit and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Remove the glass from the oven after it has cooled completely.
Fixing errors
Tips for effective glass painting
If you are painting your glassware in a single colour, try a sponge for a smooth, even effect.
Often, colours look different after they are applied. When buying glass paints, ask for true colour charts painted on sample glass pieces before making your choice.
If you¿re painting utilitarian glassware like crockery, wine glasses or jugs that will be subjected to microwaving and dishwashing, buy glass paints that adhere well. Baking painted glassware ensures greater durability.

Hello! My name is Val Kegel and I feel very fortunate - I absolutely love my job, and I absolutely love the Cayman Islands! As a flight attendant for a major airline for 44 years, I have spent the last ten years flying to and from Grand Cayman several times a week.

How to Convert Old Slides to Digital
Posted by Diane
. I have some 35mm slides that I want to put on my computer. Also, the color on these pictures has turned red. What's the best method to save these slides?
. If you have a flatbed scanner, you may be able to find a special attachment for scanning slides, but these don't always produce good results. Nowadays, you can get a slide converter, such as
VuPoint's film and slide converter
or the
Imagelab Instant Slide Scanner
, for around $100 to $150.
See a demo of a converter here
Alternatively, your local photo lab may be able to convert the slides for you, or you can use a service (great for large quantities) such as
Color shifting in slides is common, says photo expert Maureen A. Taylor. "To slow the process, store color photographic materials such as prints and slides in a dark, cool place that is not subject to fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Large archives actually store their color materials in refrigerated vaults."
Though it may not be possible to return the images to their brand-new appearance, most professional services can correct the color and remove scratch marks. Do-it-yourselfers can use photo-editing software such as
Adobe PhotoShop Express (free online)
Make sure you save the unedited scans as TIF files, a format that does the best job of preserving image quality. Make copies of the images to edit. Store the edited copies as high-resolution TIFs, too. For sharing or posting online, copy the edited files as JPGs (which reduces file size).
Finally, be sure to back up your digitized images. The best way is with an online storage service.

. You also can save the files to an external hard drive kept in a location away from your home. Give copies to family, too.

How to Order a Big Family Tree Wall Chart
Posted by Diane
. Where can I get a giant genealogy chart printed to hang on the wall at a family reunion?
. Plenty of businesses will take your GEDCOM or genealogy software's proprietary file and turn it into a large wall chart. Find links to charting companies on
Cyndi's List
Some companies focus more on artistic presentations with photos and illustrations, which are beautiful but may limit the size of the chart; others specialize in, yards-long text charts showing every member of your family. Some do both.
Take a look at photos of finished charts on the company Web site. Narrow your list to companies that offer the type of chart you need, then look at the ones that can work within your time frame and budget.
Some questions to ask each company when you're deciding which one to go with:
What are my options (if any) as far as chart size, typeface, text color and size, paper color, etc.?
Will I get to see a digital proof of the chart before it's printed? (So you can make sure the information is correct.)
If I don't like how the proof looks, are there any charges for making changes to it?
Do you keep the chart on file in case I want to order additional copies?
What is the charge for updating the chart with new genealogical information and having it reprinted in the future?
What special steps should I take to prepare my GEDCOM (or proprietary software file) before sending it to you?
What are your file specifications for photos? (If you want to include pictures in your chart.)
What delivery method do you use? How long will shipping take?
For best results, before you export your GEDCOM, go through your genealogy files and standardize date and place formats. For example, if you abbreviate one state name, abbreviate them all; and format your dates as day/month/year, as in 22 April 1907. Also make sure names are spelled correctly and check for typos.
When you tote the chart to your family reunion, remember to bring pens so people can add information or make corrections.

No Heirs? How To Save Your Genealogy Research From the Dumpster
Posted by Diane
. What can someone who has no heirs do with photos, birth certificates and other family heirlooms so they won't be thrown away? Is there any organization they could be donated to?
. Many libraries, historical and genealogical societies, historical museums and state archives accept donations of family papers, genealogical research and heirlooms.
Consider giving your items to a repository in the area that figures most heavily into your research. The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), for example,
seeks family diaries, Bibles and other documents related to New England research
A local genealogical or historical society may be interested in your pedigree charts, records, photos or published family history. Or look for a museum or library with a collection—say, WWII ephemera or Italian immigrant photographs—that would make a fitting home for your treasures. Once you have a list of potential recipients, call each one to ask about its donation process.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Family History Library
in Salt Lake City also accepts materials it considers helpful to researchers.
See its online donation guide
for information on what the library can use and how to prepare your donation.
No matter which facility you decide on, make your wishes clear in your will and designate a genealogy buddy to help your executor carry out your desires. You can't expect a repository to take everything you've collected over the decades, so include instructions for that person to weed through your papers to separate what can be pitched from what should stay. Or better yet, get organized now, while you have a say in the matter.
A new generation of Web sites gives you another option: Sites including
Eternal Star
Story of My Life
let you digitize and store photos, records and heirlooms forever. You'll need to consider whether the material will be readily available to researchers (if that's what you want) and what happens if the site goes out of business, and you'll still have the originals to deal with.
For more tips on donating your research, see the
Society of American Archivists' guide
and Katherine Scott Sturdevant's

Saving Old Family Newsletters
Posted by Diane
My aunt found several copies of our family newsletter dating back to 1959 in an old suitcase. It appears they were run off on a duplicating machine because the typed part is somewhat smeared blue ink. The paper feels like carbon paper.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to preserve these and make the pages more readable?
Your newsletters may have been copied on a
spirit duplicator
(also called a Ditto machine) or a
mimeograph machine
, both popular in schools and churches until modern photocopiers took over in the 1960s and 1970s.
These machines produced copies from a waxed master, resulting in less-than-sharp print quality—letters that bleed;
s and
s that look like solid circles.
You can enhance your newsletters' readability by scanning them and using photo-editing software (which comes with most scanners) to increase the contrast of the scan and remove stray marks. Try placing a plain white sheet behind the newsletter when you scan it.
If you don't have a scanner, try a photocopier that lets you adjust contrast—a copy shop can help with this. Make sure your final photocopies are on acid-free paper (see below for suppliers), which is much slower to yellow and deteriorate than regular copy paper.
As far as preserving the originals, they're undoubtedly on paper that contains acid. Place the newsletters in an archival file folder separated by sheets of buffer paper (which has a low pH level to help neutralize the acids in your newsletters), and put the folder in an acid-free envelope or box.
For even more protection, treat your newsletters with an acid-neutralizing spray such as Archival Mist. Test a small area first to make sure the ink won't run.
Acid-free paper, archival folders, buffer paper, acid-neutralizing spray and other supplies are available at many scrapbooking stores and through online retailers such as
Archival Methods
Light Impressions
Store the original newsletters away from sunlight and protect them from extremes in temperature and humidity—a closet in the living area of your home is best. To prevent wear and tear, use your digital or paper copies for reference.

The Skinny on Scanners
Posted by Allison
I'm in the process of digitizing my family photos, and I have to wonder: Does the type of scanner or software really matter? I am not correcting any of them; they're going in "as is" because 98 percent are in excellent shape.
Of course, the companies manufacturing such gizmos like to play up the benefits of their products' features—and it's true that a $500 scanner can do things a $100 scanner can't. But for genealogists, it's kind of like choosing between a Ford or a Rolls Royce: Although the Rolls offers lots of bells and whistles, you'd probably opt for the cheaper Ford if all you really care about is getting from point A to point B.
We recommend family historians scan photographic prints at 300 to 600 dpi for archival purposes. (If you plan to enlarge any far beyond their original size, however, you'll probably need to scan those at a higher resolution.) Today, flatbed scanners in the $80 to $100 range offer 1,200-dpi or higher optical resolution—more than enough for the type of scanning you're doing.
If you have a lot of photos to scan, you might want to pay a little extra to get a model with a document feeder or other convenience features. Old photos, which often have cardboard backings, won't work with feeders, though. So you'd have to skip the feeder anyway if you're working with heritage photos.
(Note that slides and negatives require a scanner built for that purpose—rather than a regular flatbed—to get the best results. Such models have high resolutions and correspondingly high price tags.)
Likewise, you'll probably find that the photo-editing and -organizing software that came with your scanner or computer will work fine for your needs. Once you've had an opportunity to get familiar with the program's setup, you might decide you want to "step up" to another program that has additional features or an interface better-suited to your working style. Adobe's $100
Photoshop Elements
is one popular choice—but you certainly don't need to shell out $650 for the
professional Photoshop
program, which is loaded with fancy features you'll probably never need.

Untangling Terms of Use
Posted by Allison
I wanted to use a Web site such as
to order a mousepad with my ancestors' photos on it. But all these sites' terms of use state that I have to give up my rights to the photos! For example,
PhotoWorks' terms
say, "You hereby grant to PhotoWorks, Inc. non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, publish, copy, modify, transmit, display and distribute your Content for the purpose of delivering the Service and warrant that you have a right to grant such a license. In addition, you warrant that all moral rights in any Content and uploaded materials have been waived and do hereby waive any such moral rights." I feel that if I use the service of one of these companies, I've already paid it for the service, therefore it does not--and should not--have any rights to my photos. Why do these companies think they should be able to do this?
You'll find this type of standard disclaimer when you use any photo Web site. Unfortunately, all the legal mumbo jumbo and complicated wording make most companies' terms of use, er, challenging for the average consumer to understand. We're not legal experts and therefore can't offer legal opinions. But as scary as this clause may sound, it doesn't appear that PhotoWorks is trying to take away any rights from its customers. Let's look at it one part at a time.
1) The first key phrase is "for the purpose of delivering the service." In order to produce your calendar, put your photos on a CD, create an album, or make whatever product you've ordered, the company of course has to digitally reproduce, possibly edit and print your photo. Therefore, you'll be required to legally grant the company the right to use your photo. You're only giving the company the right to create the product you asked it to, nothing else.
2) You grant this right "non-exclusively"--meaning that you also can extend your rights to anyone or any other company you wish.
3) The statement "[you] warrant that you have a right to grant such a license" is also important: It's an acknowledgment that you actually have the copyright or permission to use the photos you upload. This statement protects the company against legal action if a customer reproduces photographs illegally. For example, say you get your kid's picture taken at Olan Mills, then you scan one of the photos and upload it to PhotoWorks so you can order a product. That's a violation of copyright law, because professional photo studios almost always copyright their work (that way, you have to buy the photos from that studio). It would be impossible for PhotoWorks or any such site to vet all the photos its users upload. By PhotoWorks' inclusion of this statement, Olan Mills (in this example) couldn't sue PhotoWorks if PhotoWorks' users were reproducing Olan Mills' copyrighted photographs without the studio's permission.
4) "Moral rights" has nothing to do with morality, but with the copyright holder's right to attribution and to the integrity of the work (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights). Again, in my not-legal opinion, by "waiving moral" rights, you're waiving your right to have a "credit line" on a PhotoWorks products and allowing the company to "change" the image by affixing it to a coffee mug etc.
When you boil it down, what PhotoWorks is asking is common-sense stuff and shouldn't raise red flags for most family historians. Of course, some services or companies may include some terms of use that you simply don't agree with—which is why we encourage consumers not to ignore them. If you see something that concerns you, you can choose not to use that service—before it's too late.

Family Tree- and Photo-Sharing Web Sites
Posted by Diane
We received this question via
our MySpace page
: I've heard about Web sites that will host pictures to give my family its own sharing place of current pictures of our kids (considering we're all over the United States). Do any of these also have a genealogical chart you can fill in?
It sounds like you could use a family-oriented social networking Web site. Many of these sites let you upload photos, build a family tree online (you may even be able to upload a GEDOCM to cut down on data entry), create profile pages for family members and even add important dates to calendars.
Usually, you can opt to keep your family's pages private by giving everyone a password, and you can also grant certain people editing privileges.
You're in luck! The
January 2008
Family Tree Magazine
(now on newsstands and at
) has an overview of genealogy social networking sites. Here are some family-photo sharing sites that also let you create a genealogy chart:
offers basic tree-building (when our reviewer checked, you couldn't enter places or events besides birth and death), photo- and video-sharing. There's a free trial period; after that, the site costs $49.95 per year.
is a graphically cool site where you can upload photos and add a calendar and a family tree (with dates and places of birth and death, but not baptisms and burials). Our reviewer found navigation easy, and the site is free.
Ancestry.com Member Trees
is also free, but after you add a tree, you'll see "shaky leaves" that indicate Ancestry.com's subscription-only databases may have records on your ancestors. Member Trees lets you add photos and video clips with searchable descriptions, and create a book using Ancestry Press.
offers an easy way to type information into a tree, or a more-elaborate, downloadable Family Tree Builder. You also can upload photos. The free Basic plan limits storage space; you also can choose a paid plan for $2.95 to $9.95 per month.
If your family's on Facebook, relatives can upload a program called Family Tree to their profiles and use it to create a pedigree chart.
See the Genealogy Insider blog for more information
With the capabilities of Web 2.0, these sites are updated frequently and new social networking sites are popping up all the time. If the whole family will be using the site, let other people weigh in on which you choose.

Make a Resolution: Viewing Online Photos
Posted by Diane
Momto3boyz asks this
question on the FamilyTreeMagazine.com Forum
: My cousin put some pictures on a family Web site. When I pull them up, most of them come up in thumbnail sizes. When I try to zoom in or enlarge them so I can see the faces, I lose the sharpness of the pictures. Any suggestions on how I can enlarge these pictures?
How you can view images on a Web site depends mostly on the person who posted the images.
You could copy the thumbnail images to your desktop by right-clicking on each one, then selecting the Save to Desktop option (on a Mac, you'd control-click the photo or simply drag it onto your desktop). Then you could zoom in by opening the photo in an image viewer such as Picture Viewer (Preview for Macs). But as you've found, you won't be able to see much detail anyway.
That's because Web standards call for posting photos at a relatively low resolution of 72 dpi (dots per inch). This reduces a photo's file size so the Web page won't take forever to load. So usually, if you try to take an image off most Web sites and enlarge it for your family history book, say, the image looks blurry and pixilated, like this:
Your cousin may have intended to link the thumbnail photos to larger versions of the images (
as we did for this Photo Detective column
), but forgotten to do so.
Your best bet is to ask your cousin to send you higher-resolution versions of the photos—that means 300 dpi, which is the resolution needed if you want to print out the image with the same dimensions as the original. If you want to print out a larger photo, you'll need an even higher resolution.
When you scan a photo, you can select the resolution in your scanner settings—see the owner's manual for help with this. Likewise, if you have a digital camera, you can set it to take low- or high-resolution photos.
The photo on
this Photo Detective blog posting
, for example, is high resolution so you can examine its detail. Save it to your desktop, open it an image viewer and zoom in, and you'll see what I mean.

Kids' School Projects: Interviewing a Grandparent
Posted by Diane
My daughter has to interview her grandparents for a school project. Do you have any suggestions for questions she can ask?
Not only do assignments such as this one bring families closer, they're also a great way for kids (and their parents!) to learn about their family history and history in general.
Scott Kelly, who conducts oral histories through his company
Oral Family Histories
, offers these questions to get you started:
When and where were you born?
What were your parents' names?
What is your happiest memory of your father? Your mother?
What is the most important lesson your parents taught you?
What are the names of your grandparents?
What is your happiest memory of your grandfather? Grandmother?
Where did you grow up?
What did you do for fun as a child?
How did you like school?
What did you want to be when you grew up?
Tell me about your first date.
How did you meet Grandma/Grandpa?
Tell me about the day my mom/dad was born.
What advice would you give to new parents?
What jobs have you had?
What are your strongest memories from your time in the military?
What would be your recipe for happiness?
You and your daughter can edit the list together based on the length of the interview, what your daughter wants to ask about, and any project requirements (for example, her teacher may want her to focus on a particular topic such as military service).
Your daughter may want to jot down significant historical events that occurred during her grandparents' lives, such as the Great Depression or the day President Kennedy was assassinated. Then she can ask about them with a question such as, "What's your most vivid memory of growing up during the Great Depression?"
If she's been learning about the Great Depression in school, she'll see how it affected everyday people and maybe even find herself an answer to that perennial question, "Why do we have to learn this?"
She also might be interested in how her grandparents' childhoods compare to her own: Did they have similar hobbies? What chores did they have to do around the house? How did they like their brothers and sisters?
Kelly suggests interviewers use a question list as a guide, not a rigid framework. It's OK if the conversation leads your daughter to ask questions not on the list, or her grandparents to tell stories not related to a particular question. Looking at old family photos may spark her grandparents' memories, too. (Find
more oral history interviewing tips on FamilyTreeMagazine.com
Make sure you record the interview for posterity (and in case your daughter needs it for a report) using a digital voice recorder or a videocamera (get pro's tips for filming interviews in the

Saving Old Scrapbooks
Posted by Diane
I've discovered scrapbooks my mother made in the 1930 and '40s. They include photos and paper ephemera such as party napkins and dance programs. The scrapbook pages are black and the items are glued on. What's the best way to preserve this material? Also, I'd like to take pictures of each page. Should I use a traditional camera with no flash or digital camera with a built-in flash?
Those albums with black pages were common during the early 1900s, and people often wrote in them with opaque white ink. "Black scrapbook paper is not the best choice for photo storage," says preservation expert and blogger at
The Practical Archivist
Sally Jacobs. The paper's high acid content can make it brittle over time.
The glue your mom used may be acidic, too. "Even so, it would be unwise to try to deconstruct the scrapbook," advises Jacobs. That's because you can lose important caption information, and separating glued-together paper is a risky move best done by a professional archivist.
Jacobs recommends inserting acid-free, buffered tissue between the scrapbook pages. ("Regular-thickness paper would make the book too thick by the time you finish," she says.) Buffered paper contains alkaline ingredients, which will help neutralize the acids in the black paper and slow their migration to the album's contents.
Then, to protect the book against light and dust, store it flat in an archival drop-front box in a size as close as possible to the dimensions of the scrapbook.
You can purchase archival tissue and boxes from suppliers such as
Archival Methods
Gaylord Brothers
, and
Light Impressions
"Bring out the scrapbook and show it off to anyone who wants to see it, but tuck it away somewhere safe the rest of the time," Jacobs says. That means in a house that's cooled in the summer and heated in the winter, ideally in an interior closet to reduce temperature fluctuations. Avoid attics and basements.
You're on the right track in wanting to visually preserve the pages. The problem with using a built-in flash is that you can get a glare from shiny surfaces, such as a glossy photo or anything metallic, in the book.
"If the scrapbook doesn't have anything reflective on the pages, you might get away with the digital/flash camera," says
Family Tree Magazine
's photographer Al Parrish. "But it would probably be safer to use some sort of available light, such as outside on a cloudy day, with the camera white balance set to Auto." Parrish also highly recommends a tripod.
You could try doing this yourself, and if you're unsatisfied with the results and you can afford it, hire a professional photographer to shoot the book.
Keep an eye out for the September

, on sale July 17—it'll have an article full of simple ways to preserve and enjoy heirlooms.

I hope she just puts Keshia on applications....damn.

Submitted to: Journal of Soil Biology and Biochemistry
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/11/2007
Publication Date: 7/1/2007
Citation: Grigera, M.S., Drijber, R.A., Shores-Morrow, R.H., Wienhold, B.J. 2007. Distribution of arbuscular mycorrhizal biomarker C16:1cis11 among neutral-, glygo', and phospho-lipids extracted from soil during the reproductive growth of corn. Journal of Soil Biology and Biochemistry. 39:1589-1596. Interpretive Summary: Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi form close relationships with the roots of most land plants. The relationship between AM fungi and plants is thought to result in AM fungi acquiring energy from the plant and the plant benefiting from more efficient P acquisition. Details of the relationship between AM fungi and crops are incomplete. We compared size of three lipid fractions using chemical extraction with and without physical grinding of the sample. Grinding released lipids involved in energy storage and cell structure. Lipids unique to AM fungi increased during the growing season showing that there was transfer of energy from the plant to the fungi. Further studies are needed to determine how key lipid pools can be used to understand AM fungi dynamics.
Technical Abstract: Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi form symbiotic relationships with the majority of land plants and are known for their positive effects on plant P acquisition and soil quality. The extramatrical growth of the mycelium is a key factor in nutrient acquisition by the symbiont. Identifying patterns in plant-fungi growth is necessary for understand how these symbionts operate in agroecosystems over time. The objective of this work was to study C partitioning in AM fungi in soil samples during the reproductive growth stage of maize (Zea mays L.). Chambers made of PVC enclosed with a 1 mm mesh fabric to allowed roots and hyphae passage amended with distilled water were installed in two sites at tasselling and removed after three, six and nine weeks in Nebraska. Soil samples were analyzed using ester linked fatty acid (EL-FAME) and chloroform-methanol extraction (CM-FAME) analysis. We also separated and analyzed the neutral (NLFA), glyco (GLFA) and phospho (PLFA) lipid fractions. We observed that AM fungi have resistant structures that are hydrolyzed only after the soil sample is roller-milled (RM). These particular structures were enriched of NLFA and GLFA C16:1cis11, but not PLFA, indicating that storage lipids and possibly membrane lipids are released by RM. EL- and CM-FAME C16:1cis11 increased later in the maize season, effectively showing the C allocation from the plant to the fungi under field conditions. We successfully utilized EL-FAME and CM-FAME C16:1cis11 to study the dynamics of AM fungi in soils under field conditions, however the C partition was not clearly shown by the different fractions. PLFA C16:1cis11 did not change over time or due to RM. NLFA C16:1cis11 increased by RM the sample; and did not change over time. GLFA C16:1cis11 increased over time and due to RM the sample. Further studies are needed to elucidate the role of GLFA C16:1cis11 in AM fungi.

Content continues to be the king when promoting a Website through link building
"I have found that link building and content creation is much easier when you are passionate about the subject and have enough knowledge in the field to consistently create original content." This article full of tips was Written by Danny Dover.
Link building is always a hot topic because it is really what makes an SEO campaign work. Find bellow some tips on building links for 2.010:
(If you find the information at SEO Practices Blog useful, please help us support it by giving this Blog some "Link Love": Linking to us, using the Plus1 Button or bookmarking our site. Thank you.)
* It is well worth the time to write great content as opposed to lots of decent content. The best articles are the ones that attract most links and land on good websites.
* If you figure out something cool or unique, write about it and keep the content on your site and create a buzz using social media. Links will surely come.
* Write content for your own site first. You will get the links pointing back at your site for having the original content.
* Syndicate your RSS feed, not your article content. Instead of publishing your duplicate content everywhere, keep the content on your site and ping services like technorati, twitter, facebook, and anywhere you can publish your site's feed. Get visitors on your site and then give them an opportunity to bookmark or share your content via social media.
* Quality directories are still valid. you can have a good success from getting listed in the top human-edited directories, especially local and regional ones. Avoid the free-for-all sites and focus on the ones that add value to users.
* Guest Blogging is a new hot-topic which is also worth doing. Finding relevant websites to post content to is a good way to get quality inbound links and brand awareness. In many cases, you can get content for your site as well if you establish a good partnership with a complementary website or blog.
* Reciprocal links are not all bad. It is natural for complementary websites to link to one another, so the emphasis is on relevance. You can exchange links with relevant and complementary websites, but not with just any site. You want to make sure you are linking to reputable websites too.
* Don't Spam. Search engines (like Google) mostly update their algorithms to do one of two things: to increase the relevance of the search results and to battle spam in their index. If you keep things relevant and avoid spam tactics, your rankings should remain intact as long as their isn't a fundamental shift in how websites and pages are ranked.
* Use Q&A Sites like Yahoo Answers, Answers.com, Wikianswers, Linkedin, etc., to promote yourself and your content.
* Set up Google alerts for topics you are interested on and participate on those conversations.
* Get the experts (your clients) to write the content with our guidance. determine a unique set of keywords we are tarketing, we will give them a list of topics covering the keyword range.
So content continues to be the king when promoting a Website through link building. Great content will make the link building task much much easier.
Please feel free to share your tips on link building.

Thread: Propane or Natural Gas?
Propane or Natural Gas?
I'm gonna toss this one out...
we're currently on propane. We can prebuy very cheap and out entire year's heating/water heater will be about $900. Natural gas just became available in our area and many people are switching.
The natural gas co could not give me a good estimate on my bill based on current usage including taxes, surcharges, etc...so we're holding off and see what neighbors/guinea pigs find out.
What experience have you all with one or the other or switching... what are your conclusions?

Not much help........I suggest doing some serious research. How much will it cost to change over? How much, per year, has it gone up in your area? What was the percentage of increase? THESE could all be answered by the people there........if they want to.
I have nat. gas for heating and hot water. The $ would depend on too many factors to compare...sq. ft., temp, how many showering, etc.
I just know that it goes up every year and as more people get it the $ will get even worse. Used to be cheap......not so much now.09-13-2009, 02:50 PM #3

I always thought that propane was more expensive. I don't know with prices rising on everything. I think you are going to have to get that information from someone who lives near you because of temperature in your area and even square footage of house and how well insulated the house is will be something you will need to have to compare. I have natural gas; I live in Southeast Michigan and I have a budget of $105 a month. And we do have pretty cold winters.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements09-13-2009, 03:06 PM #4

We have propane. The big difference here is I don't pay all of the utility taxes on propane. All I pay is the actual charge. I would check and see it it works that way where you live. Plus, I lock in my price at the lowest cost of the year since I only use one tank.09-13-2009, 07:59 PM #5
Natural gas was always cheaper for me a few years back but i have all electric now and live where it is reasonable but just out of town on other providers it is very expensice. piney

Learn how to create a simple Web form whose results may be sent to specific UB email addresses.
This document assumes you have some familiarity with HTML forms.
Begin the form in your HTML document with a "form"
tag that is pointed at the WingsMail script:
Specify the fields and values submitted by the form. These will include things you want to define (like the email addresses the form results are sent to) and things you want the person filling out the form to provide (like his or her name, comments, and so forth).
To define values in a form yourself, use an "input" tag with the following three attributes:
Below are attributes whose values you will likely want to set, followed by an example of the HTML code.
Email Recipients [to]
This value controls which email address(es) the emailed form results are sent. Separate multiple email addresses with a comma. Only @buffalo.edu addresses may be used.
Email Subject [subject]
This value controls the subject of the email that is sent when the form is submitted.
You may want your visitor to set the subject of the email. In that case, use the following instead:
What is the subject of your question?
Name of the Form [source]
This value will appear in the email that is sent when the form is submitted. This is especially helpful if you have multiple forms on your website, and you want to be able to tell which form a particular email came from.
Address of the Web Page the Form Came From [source-url]
Similar to "source" above, this value is helpful if you have multiple forms on your website, and want to be able to tell which form a particular email came from. Instead of a form name, give the URL the form can be found at.
Don't Allow Anonymous Submissions [anon]
If you include this code, the form will not be processed if the user doesn't specify an email address.
Thank You Page URL [return]
Once your visitor fills out your form, it is customary to direct them to a "Thank You" page, often with information about when they will hear back from you, if applicable. Once you create that Thank You page, you can give its URL here.
Thank You Text [thanks]
If you didn't use the [return] option above, you may have text displayed to your visitor after the form is submitted.
Required Fields [reqfields]
List required fields. If your visitor leaves these fields blank, he or she will receive an error message and an opportunity to supply the missing information. Separate the field names by the "|" symbol. These names must appear in your form.
Return Path [return-path]
In the event that the email created by the form cannot be delivered, this value specifies the email address that will receive the system error message (default is firstname.lastname@example.com).
From Email Address If None Specified [fromaddress]
When email gets sent to you, and no "email" value has been entered (see below), you may specify an address.
This is what we usually think of when we think of Web forms: a series of questions (or "labels") accompanied by empty boxes for the visitor to enter information.
To create each simple text input box that your visitor may fill out, use an "input" tag with two attributes:
Below are common attributes whose values you will likely want your visitor to supply, followed by an example of the HTML code.
Visitor's Email Address [email]
The email will show up just as if your visitor had sent it through an email program. If you click "reply" to the message, your email program will start a message to whatever email address your visitor has entered.
What's your email address?
Email Sender's Name [fromname]
The person's real name.
What is your name?
You will probably want to add your own fields to those above. To do so, use the same format, but replace the value of "name" with a descriptive word of your own. For instance:
What is the room number?
Note: Each "name" must be unique.
3. Supply a submit button and close your form tag.
When the form is submitted, it is sent to the WingsMail script. This script uses some of the values to create the email (to, subject, and so forth) and set other options (such as what page to display after the form is submitted). The other values are placed in the body of the email. There will be a line for each input "name" and its corresponding value, separated by an " = " sign:
Comments = When I was about thy years, Hal, I was not an eagle's talon in the waist. Name = Zooey Perry
By default, the form results are alphabetized by the field names. This can result in an email that is hard to read. One way to specify an order is to add a numerical prefixes to the input tags' "name" attributes. For example, if your form has the following code:
Your email results will appear like this:
01. Name = Zooey Perry 02. Comments = When I was about thy years, Hal, I was not an eagle's talon in the waist.
The form results email also includes information about the submission in a footer:

Originally just the German version was available until someone ferreted out the others. Go figure.

15 Things Every Southerner Must Do This Spring
This year's polar vortices threw us all for a loop, but down South we can still take comfort in the fact that the joys of spring (mild temps, blooming buds, bountiful produce) come early. Here, 15 ways to make the most of the sweet months to come.
1. Eat crawfish. About now is when mudbugs get real big and delicious. Recently opened Bevi Seafood Co. in Metairie (just outside New Orleans) serves up some of the best in the area. Not only does the owner get his stash fresh daily, he is also meticulous in cleaning the crawfish and uses a special citrusy/just-spicy-enough blend to flavor his broth. Or host your own boil, and be sure to invite us.
2. Get planting. "Now is a great time to plant many of the Southern classics such as azaleas, gardenias, French hydrangeas, camellias, banana shrubs, any and all magnolias, redbuds, and crepe myrtles." —Rebecca Bull Reed, Garden Editor
3. Pack a picnic. "The Food Department is beyond excited that it's finally picnic weather. We would love to hang out at Birmingham's Railroad Park with our dream spread including: Pimiento cheese, biscuits with Benton's Country Ham, our recipe for Ginger and Lime Marinated Melon, and this portable Cucumber-and-Sugar Snap Salad that shows off springtime veggies." — Hannah Hayes, Assistant Food Editor
4. Find your perfect sundress. The beauty of spring fashion is in its simplicity—sandals, a crossover bag, and a cute dress does the trick every time. We rounded up 20 of our favorite dresses for the season.
5. Take a garden tour. "I love both the Virginia Historic Garden Week and the Historic Charleston Foundation tours because of the quality of gardens and the inspirational architecture. You'll come away with a wealth of design-and-plant-combo ideas for small and large spaces. Leave time to hit a few of the local garden and antique shops." — Rebecca Bull Reed, Garden Editor
6. Load up on strawberries. The berries peak in April, so head to your local farmers' market and stock up on enough to make our desserts and still have plenty leftover to eat fresh.
7. Go for a Sunday drive. Flowers are in full bloom along the Skyline Drive in Virginia, Texas Hill Country, and the Great River Road in Louisiana. Pick a stretch of road and just cruise.
8. Spruce up your porch. "You'll be spending a lot more time on your porch, so you want it to look good. I love two things about a porch: An outdoor rug that feels good under my feet and low-fuss container flowers. Right now, I'm planting blue hydrangeas in over-sized, but super simple terra cotta pots." —Zoe Gowen, Associate Homes Editor
9. Read a book outside. Our resident book expert, Patricia Shannon, has some suggestions for titles to pick up: "Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun, is releasing her memoir, Under Magnolia, April 1. It's full of nostalgic details of Southern childhood shenanigans and peppered with the Georgia native's generous wit. Another page-turner we've got our nose in is The Professor by Alabamian The Professor by Alabamian Robert Bailey. Fans of authors like John Grisham won't be able to put down this new thriller. Spoiler alert: there's a cameo by University of Alabama coach Bear Bryant."
10. Make a Spring Pilgrimage. Plan a trip on Georgia's Antebellum Trail to see breathtaking mansions, tour gardens, and stay in a Victorian-era B&B.
11. Ride bikes. Bike-share programs are popping up in cities all over the South, including D.C., Miami Beach, and Charlotte. When it's nice outside, it's by far the best way to scope out a new town.
12. Go to a music festival. The big outdoor shows kick off later this season. A few not to miss: New Orleans Jazz & Heritage (April 25-May 4), Shaky Knees in Atlanta (May 9-11) and The Hangout in Orange Beach, Alabama (May 16-18).
13. Identify your pool friends. And lake friends, and beach friends. Summer is right around the corner and you need to know which friends you'll be able to crash with for a hot-day respite. Of course you'll remember to take a hostess gift and write the perfect thank-you note.
14. Do the Derby. Celebrating its 140th anniversary this year, the Kentucky Derby (May 3) is still one of the biggest events in horse racing. If you can't make it to Louisville, look into attending a steeplechase event, such as Atlanta Steeplechase (April 19) or Iroquois in Nashville (May 10). At the very least, you can host your own stellar Derby party.
15. Get in on the Easter egg fun. Host your own egg hunt or head to the capital for the First Family's 136th annual Easter Egg Roll (April 21), in which hundreds of families descend on the White House Lawn to race colorfully decorated eggs down the hill.
What's on your bucket list for this spring?

Muppets, Ninja Turtles and Salacious Crumb Get Gorgeously Gritty in the Art of Rhys Cooper
So you know what happened to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when they started off dark and muscly in Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's comics but got colorful and smiley for their Saturday morning cartoon series? Pretty much the exact opposite thing has happened to Muppets and Sesame Street characters in Rhys Cooper's artwork.
Oh, and that Ninja Turtle comparison I made before? He's drawn them as well, and they've never looked better. In fact, he seems skilled at tackling about anything that Jim Henson's people have ever touched. Have a look for yourself below and enjoy the madness.
