Families of September 11 is now operating as the For Action Initiative. The web pages on this site are available for informational purposes only. Please visit us at www.foractioninitiative.org.
Families of September 11 (FOS11) is pleased to announce and support the launch of two new initiatives: NYC Remembers and Our Voices Together. A project of One Day's Pay, NYC Remembers provides New Yorkers with many opportunities and ideas on how to observe September 11 as a National Day of Service. Likewise, the new nonprofit organization Our Voices Together seeks to honor the loss of life on September 11, 2001, by fostering global understanding. Its online gift shop provides the opportunity to support international development projects, most of which were specially chosen to honor the lives of loved ones killed by terrorist acts.
In light of the recent release of the FDNY tapes and with the upcoming four-year commemoration, we remind you that there are many ongoing mental health resources still available to those affected by 9/11. Call 1-800-LifeNet for free, confidential mental health assistance, or visit www.familiesofseptember11.org/wellness for more information on both national and regional wellness resources (including support groups). Those in the DC-area might also consider attending a community event sponsored by the National Center for Victims of Crime's Virginia Resilience Project Post-9/11 (please see below in Resources), of which FOS11 is a project partner.
Lastly, FOS11 is honored that this year America's Camp will be giving the 9/11 Band to its campers. Others have decided to give the band out at memorial events, like the Tom Collins/Chris Panatier 9/11 Memorial Foundation golf outing. The 9/11 Band, a turquoise memorial bracelet with the words "Remember, Honor, Hope," was created by FOS11 Board member MaryEllen Salamone's nine-year-old son so that people would "remember those who died, honor all those who helped around the world, and hope that something like 9/11 never happens again." We believe it serves a fitting tribute this time of year.

Mission Statement
To help persons discover whether they have ability and interest in computing, and to empower those who do to extend the application of computers to the problems of society.
- "To help persons discover": Computer science is skill-oriented. Individuals only grow when they actively participate in the application of knowledge. We are committed to providing a variety of active learning experiences.
- "Whether they have the ability and interest in computing": The rapid advancement of computing creates a broad spectrum of novel opportunities and roles for computer scientists in our society. We are committed to providing a rich environment that allows individuals to find a niche in this spectrum suited to their aptitudes and interests.
- "And to empower those who do": Empowerment implies knowledge of the machines, algorithms and applications already developed so our students can build on the work of their predecessors. To apply a computer to a problem is a practical matter, not just a theoretical one. Because of the complexity of the systems that are being created, empowerment implies the ability to manage persons, time and other resources to accomplish such goals within allocated means.
- "To extend the application of computers": By extending is meant not just any use of computers, but some use that claims new ground. For example, entering data into a spreadsheet does not extend the use of computers, while setting up a spreadsheet to perform a customized data analysis extends the application of computers to that particular problem. Stronger examples would include developing applications, even extending the concept of computing itself, to open previously unknown application domains. Computing professionals must be leaders in the development of computing and the application of computing to new problems.
- "To the problems of society": A wide-ranging liberal education is particularly valuable for computer scientists, since often their task is to apply computing to a problem domain in some other discipline, or even more frequently, across several disciplines at once. The ability to communicate with experts in a broad range of social and scientific disciplines is critical. Our efforts flourish in the context of the wider university, and are particularly needful of integration with other departments. We therefore participate as computer scientists in the application of computing to the research of our colleagues, and as educators in maintaining, designing and implementing the wider mission of the university.
Marketable Skills
The program puts students in the middle of the exploding information revolution where they study technological advances such as object-oriented software, communication networks, multimedia systems, information security and artificial intelligence. Students learn about computing technologies used by today's professionals and how to use these technologies to solve real-world problems. They learn to analyze problems, design solutions, implement solutions using multiple computing technologies, test and install those solutions, and communicate those solutions to others in written and verbal presentations.
Co-curricular Activities and Organizations
The James Madison University Student Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery is the local student chapter of the national association for computing professionals. The JMU chapter of Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the international honor society in computer science, recognizes outstanding academic achievement by students and outstanding contributions to education by faculty.

1st I would like to appologise if I've posted this in the wrong section. It's the Support section for BT3 so here goes...
I Have an ASUS X50RL Lap-Top With Atheros AR5007EG Wireless card.
I Tried the card 1st using BT2, it said that my wireless card was disabled. I did have a hardware switch to turn it on/off but it was on. I got BT3, I started airodump and here's what I got:
The Command i did was airodump-ng wifi0 and I got NOTHING!
when i used "sudo airodump-ng wifi0" i got the standard interface for detecting wireless networks but it froze. For an hour the elapsed time was 0 seconds. On WinXP i detect several Wireless networks, but here I have nothing.

Abdominal aortic aneurysmAneurysm - aortic; AAA
An abdominal aortic aneurysm is when the large blood vessel (aorta) that supplies blood to the abdomen, pelvis, and legs becomes abnormally large or balloons outward.
The exact cause is unknown, but risk factors for developing an abdominal aortic aneurysm include:
- Emphysema
- Genetic factors
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Male gender
- Obesity
- Smoking
An abdominal aortic aneurysm can develop in anyone, but is most often seen in males over age 60 who have one or more risk factors. The larger the aneurysm, the more likely it is to rupture and break open.
Aneurysms develop slowly over many years and often have no symptoms. If an aneurysm expands quickly, tears open (ruptures), or blood leaks along the wall of the vessel (aortic dissection), symptoms may develop suddenly.
The symptoms of rupture include:
- Pain in the abdomen or back -- severe, sudden, persistent, or constant. The pain mayspread to the groin, buttocks, or legs
- Clammy skin
- Dizziness
- Nausea and vomiting
- Rapid heart rate
- Shock
Exams and Tests
Your doctor will examine your abdomen. The exam also will include an evaluation of pulses in your legs. The doctor may find:
- A lump (mass) in the abdomen
- Pulsating sensation in the abdomen
- Stiff or rigid abdomen
You may have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is not causing any symptoms or problems. Your doctor may find this problem by doing the following tests:
- Angiogram
- CT scan of the abdomen -- to confirm the size of the aneurysm
- Ultrasound of the abdomen -- done when an abdominal aneurysm is first suspected
Any oneof these tests may be done when you're having symptoms.
If you have bleeding inside your body from an aortic aneurysm, you will have open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
If the aneurysm is small and there are no symptoms:
- Surgery is rarely done if the aneurysm is small.
- You and your doctor must decide whether the risk of having surgery is smaller than the risk of bleeding if you do not have surgery.
- Your doctor may recommend checking the size of the aneurysm with ultrasound tests every 6 months to see ifit is getting bigger.
Surgery is usually recommended for patients who have aneurysms bigger than 2 inches (5.5 cm) across and aneurysms that are growing quickly. The goal is to perform surgery before complications or symptoms develop.
There are two approaches to surgery:
- In a traditional (open) repair, a large cut is made in your abdomen. The abnormal vessel is replaced with a graft made of man-made material, such as Dacron.
- The other approach is called endovascular stent grafting. This procedure can be done without making a large cut in your abdomen, so you may get well faster. If you have certain other medical problems, this may be a safer approach. Endovascular repair is rarely done for a leaking or bleeding aneurysm.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome is usually good if an experienced surgeon repairs the aneurysm before it ruptures.
When an abdominal aortic aneurysm begins to tear or ruptures, it is a true medical emergency. Less than 80% of patients survive a ruptured abdominal aneurysm.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have pain in your belly or back that does not go away or is very bad.
To reduce the risk of developing aneurysms:
- Eat a heart-healthy diet, exercise, stop smoking (if you smoke), and reduce stress to help lower your chances of having a blocked artery again.
- Your health care provider may give you medicine to help lower your cholesterol.
- If you were given medicines for blood pressure or diabetes, take them as your doctor has asked you to.
People over age 65 who have smoked at any time in their life should have a screening ultrasound performed once.

Thought I might add something useful to the thread.
If anyone is experiencing similar (or unrelated) trouble with Hydra, a nice little alternative I found is medusa.
It appears to be more stable than Hydra, has been updated more recently, and has thread based parallel testing (that works great with smb/tcp attacks).
It supports basically every protocol that Hydra does + more. A comparison of the two can be found on the foofus medusa homepage.
I'd post a link but haven't contributed enough to these forums to do so yet. If you're interested in medusa, just Google "medusa foofus"

SL notes: Hendricks having his way
Dartmouth product has won last six decisions with Smokies
By Guy Curtright / Special to MLB.com | June 18, 2013 6:00 AM ET
Tennessee right-hander Kyle Hendricks was considered the lesser of the two prospects received by the Chicago Cubs from Texas in the trade of veteran starter Ryan Dempster. Nearly one year later, though, it is Hendricks -- not Smokies third baseman Christian Villanueva -- who's had the most success with his new organization.
Hendricks was named the Cubs' Minor League Pitcher of the Month for May and has been even better in June as he continues to have his way with Southern League hitters. After winning his last four May decisions, Hendricks is 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA in three June starts while recording 16 strikeouts to three walks in 20 innings.
Winner of his last six decisions, the streak gives the 23-year-old California native a tie for the second-most victories in the Southern League with a 7-2 record, and his 2.07 ERA is bettered only by Mississippi's Alex Wood, now with the Atlanta Braves.
"The trade came as a shock, but everything has worked out really well," Hendricks said. "It has been great with the Cubs."
The 6-foot-3 Hendricks doesn't light up radar guns, his fastball usually sitting in the high 80s. But he makes up in finesse what he lacks in power.
"The changeup is my go-to pitch," said Texas' eighth-round pick in the 2011 Draft out of Dartmouth College.
Hendricks sets it up with a four-seamer, two-seamer, cutter and curve. He had been throwing six pitches before getting away from the slider this season.
The key, though, is being able to put the ball where he wants it. In 78 1/3 innings, he has walked just 16 compared to 64 strikeouts.
That is all part of Hendricks not beating himself. So is the fact that he has allowed the leadoff batter to reach base in just 12 innings.
Hendricks' well-thought-out approach to pitching is what you'd expect from an Ivy Leaguer.
Dartmouth has produced a number of Major Leaguers, including pitchers Pete Broberg and Mike Remlinger. But going from Southern California to New Hampshire isn't exactly the most direct route to baseball success.
"My goal has always been to pitch in the Majors, so it was a tough decision to go to Dartmouth," said Hendricks, a graduate of Capistrano Valley High in Orange County. "But I couldn't pass up the chance for an Ivy League education."
Drafted after his junior season, Hendricks still needs to complete a few courses for his degree in economics, with a minor in math. But he has already learned one baseball lesson.
Before heading to the field while with Myrtle Beach of the Carolina League last July, Hendricks noticed on the TV that the Rangers had traded for Dempster. Soon he and Villanueva were summoned to manager Jason Wood's office.
Since Hendricks had already worked 130 2/3 innings while compiling a 2.82 ERA for the Pelicans, the Cubs limited him to just 17 innings with Daytona of the Florida State League in August.
That meant the Cubs couldn't really see what they had until this year. Now Hendricks has had a chance to make a very good belated first impression.
In brief
Homer happy: Jacksonville right fielder Kyle Jensen took over the home run lead in the Southern League with 15, closing the first half with three homers in five games. He homered in consecutive games against Montgomery on Thursday and Friday, then connected again Monday against the Biscuits for his eighth blast in June. Jensen, 25, slugged 24 homers with Jacksonville last season but batted .234. He was hitting .229 this season.
Sidelined: Pensacola right-handed pitcher Chad Rogers, third in the Southern League with a 2.08 ERA, was placed on the disabled list because of a sprained right wrist. He hasn't pitched since June 2, when he exited in the fourth inning at Montgomery. Rogers, 23, is 4-3 in 11 starts and opponents are batting .199 against him. His WHIP is 1.05.
Shut down: Mississippi right-handed pitcher J.R. Graham, Atlanta's top prospect and No. 91 on MLB.com's Top 100 list, was not yet back throwing off the mound after leaving a May 13 start because of shoulder discomfort. The injury was diagnosed as a strain, and the 23-year-old was put on a rehab program in Florida. The Braves are being cautious with Graham, their Minor League Pitcher of the Year for 2012. He is 1-3 with a 4.04 ERA in eight starts this season.

Topic: Post surgical or treatment idea!
When I was in the hospital, the nurse brought me a bottle (about 1 liter size) filled half way with water and a large tube. I had to blow bubbles 10 times an hour-take as big a breath as possible and slowly blow. It was supposed to do two things-1)help prevent pneumonia and 2)help with lung capacity and strength after surgery and being on your back too long.
They did not do this in Edinburgh when I had my surgery and I had terrible "gasps" for about 4 months when my breath would catch. I wonder if this would have helped? It seemed to help with the pain of deep breathing after a day of doing it.
Thought I would pass that along as I had not seen it before but it seems to help.

LONG BEACH - For a string of new high schools slated to open in the Long Beach Unified School District in the coming years, the motto is "smaller is better."
Next fall, the district will celebrate the grand unveiling of Ernest S. McBride Sr. High School, which is now being built on the 24-acre former site of DeMille Middle School at 7025 E. Parkcrest St. in East Long Beach. The school is now accepting applications for fall 2013.
McBride is the first of at least two new high schools expected to open over the next few years as part of the school district's Facility Master Plan, which is a long-term blueprint to address changing needs in Long Beach. The district is now considering small high schools at two other locations, one at the corner of Redondo Avenue and Hill Street and another on the site of the former Jordan Freshman Academy next to Jordan High in North Long Beach.
The schools are part of dozens of new construction and renovation projects funded through Measure K bonds. Approved by 71 percent of voters in 2008, Measure K provides $1.2 billion from property taxes for building, renovating and improving Long Beach schools, many of which are more than 50 years old. The funds are separate from the district's general budget and by law can only be used for school improvement projects.
The $75 million McBride High will open in fall 2013 for a class of 250 freshman. The school is named after a local civil rights leader and community activist who co-founded the Long Beach Chapter of the NAACP.
McBride will eventually have an enrollment of about 1,000 students in grades 9-12, making it the smallest high school in the district.
Officials say the plan for smaller schools will help alleviate crowding in some of the largest high schools, which have up to 4,000 students.
"We're moving towards smaller high schools because research shows that students do better in smaller high school environments," said Vivien Hao, a project community coordinator for Measure K. "McBride will be a quintessential small high school."
McBride represents the changing face of Long Beach Unified as the district moves to close small elementary and K-8 schools in neighborhoods with low enrollment, while it revamps and builds schools in high density areas.
In the most recent proposed closure, the school board earlier this week voted to close Monroe K-8 in East Long Beach. With 655 students, Monroe is the smallest of Long Beach's 11 K-8 schools and has just 162 students from its immediate neighborhood, district officials said.
Among some of the bigger Measure K projects, the district this fall opened Nelson Academy, a $45 million middle school in Signal Hill, and is now in the planning stages for rebuilding Newcomb Academy, Roosevelt Elementary and Jordan High.
The largest of the Measure K projects, the $105 million massive renovation at Jordan will take place over the next few years in an attempt to transform the struggling high school into a flagship for the North Long Beach community.
For now, district officials are looking forward to the grand opening of McBride next year. At the McBride site on Thursday, construction was under way on the school's 43 classrooms in seven buildings.
The school will offer several innovative programs focusing on three fields: health/medical, law enforcement/legal services and engineering. Hao said McBride is designed to prepare top students for careers in high-demand fields.
To qualify for acceptance, students will be required to have earned a grade of "C" or better in algebra to assure they're prepared for more rigorous math courses, she said.
"Students will be prepared to go directly into a career or to college," Hao said.
McBride will be accepting students from Long Beach Unified, as well as students from surrounding school districts.
When it opens in fall 2013, McBride High will be the district's first new high school since Cabrillo High opened in 1995.
Officials anticipate a waiting list. Interested parents and students can go to lbschools.net/mcbride or call the superintendent's office at 562-997-8242.

Mr. Trelawney had followed the sea, and his knowledge made him very useful, for he often took a watch himself in easy weather.
"But we ain't through with Colby Macdonald yet," Trelawney explained.
Such was the position of Cubina and his little band, who had established themselves in the mountains of Trelawney.
Trelawney was on the Bolivar, Byron's yacht, at the time, and saw them start.
Trelawney was a man of this kind, and so was Sir Richard Burton.
Suddenly Trelawney broke loose and began to curse Macdonald with a bitterness that surprised the Government agent.
Two of the conspirators, Kirke and Trelawney, had proceeded to Warminster, where their regiments were posted.
My Trelawney has a strong dash of Landor, as I see him from here.
Trelawney asked him on one occasion: "Do you believe in the immortality of the spirit?"
Hence Byron, in one of his splenetic moods, exclaimed to Trelawney: When did parsons patronize genius?

"He who goes to bed with itchy bum, wake up with stinky finger."
mostly cotton I think
Makes sense. Especially the bit about case by case dedication at the beginning although I doubt that this is applied that often as most instructors won't know that much about the personal situations of the majority of their students.
I like gold belts that say "UFC Champ" on them.
You can't but not respect people like that. 'Teaching jiu jitsu is not a science it's an art'
I like the part where he is not fully focused on BJJ the sport and everyone has the right to be graded etc etc ooss!
"He who goes to bed with itchy bum, wake up with stinky finger."
i left the sport of bjj because off this belt shit. i just train judo and catch ascancan (with chokes) now.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC -- Legacy Coin-Operated Distributors has announced an update to its line of Song Bird floorstands for TouchTunes' Virtuo "smart" jukebox. The first Song Bird stands were introduced earlier this year.
TouchTunes' Virtuo was designed for mounting to a wall, and is styled to resemble a giant smartphone. It incorporates a camera that permits it to double as a photobooth in suitable locations. Legacy's stands give operators the option of placing a Virtuo in situations where a freestanding jukebox is desired. | SEE STORY
The stands are available in two styles, one of which accommodates the TouchTunes dye-sublimation photo printer to support the jukebox's photobooth option. They measure 43" W. x 30" D. x 64" H. (74" H. with the jukebox installed). The floor stands are built with durable wood and covered with Rhino Lining for a slip-resistant anti-abrasion finish that withstands corrosion and chemicals. The materials and construction reduce noise from vibration and impact. Both cabinets are fitted with chrome corners, and incorporate an eye-catching LED-backlit "shadow box" panel. Legacy reports that the proprietary subwoofer system optimizes bass reflection.
The Song Bird stands are available with built-in IcePower sound systems, including midrange speakers and subwoofer. The IcePower DA950-U module [pictured here] incorporates a class D amplifier; according to Legacy, it represents improved performance in comparison to the older DA415 while retaining its compact form factor.
The sound system offers pushbutton-selectable three- or four-channel operating modes, allowing two full-range stereo outputs or one midrange- and high-frequency stereo output plus one bass output. Two balanced inputs allow daisy chaining.
The sound system features mute input, pop suppression during turn-on and turn-off, and a high-speed switching power supply with over-current and thermal shutdown protection. It runs on 85-132VAC, drawing a maximum 1,000W.
Song Bird stands are available for retrofitting to existing TouchTunes jukes or pre-configured by Legacy.

text: Everyone is tired of telling people to search so you probably won't get a reply. If you are expecting to do anything with that card except get internet you are in for a big surprise. I am new to linux and bt4 and if you just search a little you would realize broadcom doesn't publish their drivers so only afew cards will actually go into monitor mode and even less if any will inject. I made a post about a week ago introducing myself and my setup. I have the same card and didn't compile anything. What's more I am using it right now. You shouldn't have to do anything except maybe put your wpa supplicant to wext. This applies to bt4 pre-final.Good Luck

Matt Patchan will transfer
Published: Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at 8:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 11:35 a.m.
Florida redshirt junior offensive tackle Matt Patchan, who started eight games during his career, has decided to transfer as well.
Patchan, who played in 27 games during an injury-plagued UF career, will either transfer to Ohio State, where Urban Meyer is the coach, or Boston College, where Steve Addazio is the coach. Meyer recruited Patchan to Florida and Addazio was his position coach at UF.
Patchan played in 11 games as a defensive tackle on Florida's 2008 national championship team before a leg injury cut his season short. He played in four games in 2009 but missed the rest of the season with another injury.
In 2010, Patchan missed the entire season with an injury. Last year, he started seven games at right tackle for the Gators but missed the Gator Bowl game with a pectoral injury.
Early in the preseason this season he suffered a strained pectoral muscle and never played for the Gators. He was visible at several charity events around Gainesville during the summer and fall, but never dressed for a game.

Why not also try BT4 pre-final?
My alfa works with Windows, but it is not recognized in Backtrack 3: I tried it on two different laptops, when I typed in "airmon-ng" it showed only the built in card... Please, help. Thank you.
Why not also try BT4 pre-final?
Next time, try to post some more info, like dmesg, iwconfig, that sort of things...
Gosh, I need a coffee...
type lsusb make sure it sees your card listed (rtl8187)
type ifconfig wlan0 up
type airmon-ng start wifi0
type airmon-ng start wlan0
it should say something like monitor mode (mon0)
You should be good to go. I dont know alot bout linux, but this works for me. Good luck.
recognizes without any problems
ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device found
airmon-ng start wifi0
Interface Chipset Driver
eth1 Broadcom bcm43xx
airmon-ng start wlan0
Interface Chipset Driver
eth1 Broadcom bcm43xx
(that's not Alfa, that's the built in card) - and that's what I am talking about
Also, if there is any other thread that already discusses something like that - I would appreciate if you give me a link. Thank you.
Use the edit button.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
When you typed lsusb was your card listed? If not i would try to use BT4, and yes it supports more drivers.

Looking for user input on trail marking !
The reason I even started this is to try to find some people who may have a little input as to what people may use to send some free samples to try of a new product I am getting ready to produce.
I am in no way offering it for sale here. I am just looking for some input from the type of people who may actually be using it.
It is a reflective trail flagging tape. It is hard to find in the daylight but very easy to see at night. It will come on spools like the kind teflon tape comes on. Each spool will contain approximately 20' of 1/2" wide tape that is tacky on the back side.
Actual data about the tape from the manufacture:
Exposed reflective lens with adhesive. Luminance 200X at 90`angle, 100X at 45` angle.(Expressed as times brighter than a perfectly diffusing white surface).
You can use as little as you wish maybe 1/8" per flag ,or as much as you wish 1 foot per flag. You can put a flag every 2 foot or do like we do and put one every 50 to 100 yards. We have used this product for more than 5 years and the tape does degrade over time but I can show you some that has been there more than 3 years and you can still see it with a small flashlight, even led's. I think it looks best with the red LEDs but, do not trip over that log.
I am in search of 10 people who can give me an unbiased opinion of this product. Who will give it an honest try. If you are interested let me know why I should choose you to test this product.
It all depends on what the final word of the person I am trying to get to spool it for me but,
I am looking at a resale price of around $7.00 to $9.00 per spool and if you send me the empty spool and cap back, with either a self addressed envelope or pay shipping, I will refill or send you a replacement for $5.00.
I had to have the spools special made so that they could be identified from those someone may send in from a roll of teflon, modern technology, ain't it grest.
If you are interested let me know and I will choose 10 people whom I believe will actually test this for me and then give an unbiased opinion. If I pick you I will send you info as to where to email me with details of how to obtain approximately 5' of this product to sample.
I will also show you photos of this product in use in daylight and even better night time use.
I am rying to see if this is actually worth my time or not. If not I myself and a select few will continue to use it ourselves.
Thank you for your time and patience. if you are interested you may email me here email@example.com
Can read more about it and see photos at the link below

Ohio Town's House History and Genealogy Meet on Free Site
Posted by
What started as a survey of house histories has turned into a website with genealogy information for an entire community.
In 1995, the women's club in Terrace Park, Ohio—a village of 2,267 residents and 1.25 square miles—asked every resident to fill out a survey about the history of local buildings.
Leland Cole designed an online home for the data: the
Terrace Park, Ohio, Building Survey website
. Now Cole and his wife, Carol, add to the site with help from the women's club.
In all, the free site describes about 925 buildings. You can find all kinds information, including when a house or other structure was built, what it's made of, its uses, changes made, owners' names and ownership dates, notes about resident families from maps and phone and city directories, and more.
Most listings have links to photos of the property, a deed index and owners' census transcriptions from 1810 to 1930.
The page for
203 Marietta St.
, for example, tells you the original owners, the West family, occupied the house from 1890 to 1951. Samuel Adams West was an attorney; his family was related to Oliver Robertson of 602 Miami Ave. The page gives birth and death dates for many occupants, transcribes their census records, and has photos showing how the house has changed over the years.
You can use the Terrace Park building survey site in several ways:
Click Search to search for a person's name or other words in building descriptions. You'll get a list of results for related buildings; click one to see information for that building.
Click Street Index to browse to a street name, then click the house number you're looking for.
Use the links on the left side of the home page to browse the site's deed records, census records and burial information.
Click Related Information to read background material on the community and local organizations.
Researching your ancestors' neighbors and associates is one way to get around genealogical brick walls, and it gives you a really good picture of how your ancestor lived. Cole's site—the only one of its kind I've found —provides rich detail for people with Terrace Park ancestors.
To find historical and genealogical information from your ancestral hometown, try clicking around the county's
site, visiting the local historical or genealogical association site, and running a
search on the county or town name and

GNELOG License Plates
Posted by
We were out and about yesterday when we spotted this license plate.
Maybe the driver didn't mean for the plate to be genealogical, but that's how we're taking it: Galicia is the name for both a community in northwestern Spain with roots going back to the
Kingdom of Galicia
, and a
historical region of east-Central Europe
now in Poland and Ukraine.
That got us thinking about other genealogy license plates you could make with the seven-character alphanumeric combo Ohio allows. We came up with GEDCOM, 3RD GR8 (or 4TH GRT, 5TH GR8 and so on), FMLY TRE and IMA MUTT.
Today I discovered others have already played this game—
Mark Tucker's Think Genealogy blog has plenty of good ideas for the next time you renew your plates
If you're having trouble condensing your love for genealogy into letters and numbers that'll fit on a plate, type a word or phrase into the
Vanity License Plate Generator
and it'll help you shorten your thought.

Tips for Taking Holiday Photos
Posted by
The holidays may be the biggest workout your camera gets all year. And this might be the only time you get a chance to take pictures of far-flung friends and family. Use these tips for taking great snapshots:
Get familiar with your camera's settings ahead of time so you're not fiddling with buttons as the Kodak moments happen around you
It's easy to forget your camera when you also have to remember all the presents and the green bean casserole, so get it ready to go. Charge the batteries, find the extra ones and make sure there's room on the memory card.
Take a lot of pictures, trying the same scene zoomed in and out, and with and without flash. The beauty of digital photography is that you can look at the pictures later, decide what to keep and get rid of the bad shots.
Get close to your subject to avoid background distractions.
If you're taking pictures of holiday lights at night, the flash can overwhelm them and harshly illuminate people in the foreground. Try switching to your camera's nighttime setting—but you'll also need to use a tripod or steady the camera against a fence rail or table to avoid a blurry shot.
This article has more tips on tricky nightime lighting situations
Some digital cameras have a delay after you press the shutter, so you may need to anticipate a shot and click the shutter a split second early.
Learn your camera's timer feature so you can take a photo of the whole gang together. Position people at different levels (some sitting, some standing) and take plenty of shots to increase the chances of everyone's eyes being open at the same time.

Ancestry.com Upgrades Census Collection
Posted by
If you've been unable to find your ancestors in US census records on subscription genealogy site
, it may be time to try again. The site just released enhanced images and/or indexes for six more census.
Added to upgrades implemented a few months ago, that means improved images for the 1790 through 1900 censuses, and better indexes for the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1900 censuses. In all, that's 200 million improved census records.
Ancestry.com's new indexes and images are a result of a
resource-exchanging partnership with FamilySearch announced in 2008
. FamilySearch provided Ancestry.com with its census images; Ancestry.com gave its index to FamilySearch volunteer indexers to use as a "first draft."
Digital enhancements and higher-resolution images have given the records a cleaner look. In some cases, you can read names that were previously illegible because they were too light, dark, blurry or faded, or were obscured by something such as tape.
Here's a before (left) and after (right) from the 1860 census;
see more examples on Ancestry.com
Improvements to the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census collections are the works.

The eight days of Hanukkah begin this Friday at sundown, when Jews light the first candle on a special nine-branch menorah.
The holiday commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Seleucid Empire in the second century BC. There was enough oil to burn for only one day, but the light miraculously burned for eight days.

As spring weather brightened the hallways at Kohelet Yeshiva High School in Merion Station this semester, students raced newly created robots, tinkered on a grand piano and practiced for spoken word competitions.
Last month, several dozen adults gathered in the school's beit midrash for a free evening seminar on medical ethics presented by a world-renowned Orthodox rabbi.
Meanwhile, a 14-year-old girl who has never been to day school pondered whether the Modern Orthodox setting might be right for her. She'll find out this coming fall as she joins an inaugural "Step Up" program designed to ease students into the Hebrew and Jewish studies curriculum that comprises a significant chunk of the nine-hour day at Kohelet.
While students take their last finals this week, the building will hardly be dormant for the summer as administrators continue working on these and other initiatives designed to position Kohelet as a regional center for Modern Orthodoxy.
In the two years since Kohelet relocated to the heart of Lower Merion's Orthodox community, "we're doing things inclusively that have never been done before," said head of school Rabbi Elchanan Jay Weinbach. "We want every family that values their child getting a Jewish education in our environment to have the opportunity to do so to the best of our ability, and if that means that we have to create new models of inclusion, then that is our obligation."
Of course, there's a fine balance between welcoming newcomers and disenfranchising traditionalists. But so far at least, the community seems receptive to the inclusive mission. More than 250 adults have frequented Kohelet's new community education seminars. According to Weinbach, at least half of them had no prior connection to the school. Administrators expect about 140 students in the fall, breaking the previous record of 116.
Given the harsh economy, day schools have no choice but to experiment with innovative programs in order to reach larger, more stable audiences, said Donna Woonteiler, marketing communications director for the Boston-based Partnership for Excellence in Jewish Education. According to data from her agency, 77 of 635 Jewish day schools in North America identify as Modern Orthodox.
Kohelet seems tiny compared to nearby public schools that house more than 1,000 students. But in the day school world, any enrollment growth is noteworthy as rising tuition and competition from other private schools makes it ever more challenging to attract new families. Tuition for Kohelet's 2012-13 school year costs $19,990, not counting enrollment, scholarship and capital fund fees.
In fact, Kohelet's growth has been practically exponential considering that it only started with 15 students back in 2000, when it was called Stern Hebrew High School after communal leader and industrialist Harry Stern. After three years in the basement of the Klein JCC in Northeast Philadelphia, the school acquired its own campus at a former Conservative synagogue in the Rhawnhurst neighborhood. By the end of the school's first decade, the student body had grown to nearly 100, too big for the space even with use of a garage and trailer.
The Kohelet Foundation, funded by philanthropist David Magerman, offered to relocate the school into its current home, a two-story 1909 mansion that previously housed the larger, pluralistic Akiba Hebrew Academy. That school had also outgrown its site, and moved to Bryn Mawr with the new name Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy.
The foundation spent more than $4 million to purchase the 41,000-square-foot building and invested another $4 million into renovations, including a new heating/cooling system, energy-efficient windows, insulation and a large beit midrash. Though some renovations were still in progress, students celebrated the opening of Kohelet Yeshiva High School on the Martha & Harry Stern Campus in the fall of 2010. Enrollment grew nearly 25 percent that first year in Lower Merion, though the numbers dipped from 116 to 108 students this academic year. Prayers were held in the gym until this fall, when workers completed construction on the 4,000-square-foot beit midrash addition that serves as a synagogue and multi-purpose room.
New Programs
Along with the new building, Kohelet welcomed Weinbach, a Long Island native who'd come from overseeing a day school more than twice as large in Los Angeles.
With input from the students, this fall Weinbach hired two music teachers from the Curtis Institute of Music and rearranged the schedule to include an expanded two-hour "intensives" period once a week. During that time, students choose from a variety of activities such as instrumental ensemble, art, intramural sports, robotics, or slam poetry. Many of the offerings, like acrobatics or cooking, weren't even possible in the old building because they simply didn't have the space, Weinbach said. He also added a daily "brain blast," to give students a break from the long day of studies that runs from 8 a.m. to nearly 5 p.m. Every afternoon, the entire student body spends 20 minutes doing some sort of physical activity, whether playing ping pong, dancing along with a Zumba DVD, exercising on brand new spin bikes, scaling a climbing wall or stretching with a yoga teacher.
Though small schools often struggle to fund these kinds of specialty programs, Weinbach said board members have agreed to "support a budget that lets us do far more than our enrollment would normally justify" to make sure Kohelet can compete with the offerings at other, larger schools.
Along that vein, administrators secured a $30,000 grant from the New York-based Tikvah Fund to create a Tikvah AP English curriculum for 11th graders who want to go further than the traditional AP course. The students compare themes and philosophies from Judaic and classic English texts, a profound example of "Torah u-Madda," or the idea of combining Jewish learning with "all the best of Western civilization and the world at large," said Sharon Baker, director of admissions and marketing.
For students on the other end of the learning spectrum, administrators used $35,000 from the Kohelet Foundation to hire a teacher and purchase computers for a remedial track to accommodate those who tested significantly below grade level. Up until that started last fall, the school simply didn't admit students who didn't pass the entrance exams.
The four freshmen who jump-started the program spent most of their secular studies in a separate classroom, where they worked on a computer at their own pace. They joined the other students for lunch, breaks, Bible classes, art, music, intensives and other activities.
Daniel Salemi said he would have preferred to be in regular classes because "I tend to learn better in a social environment," but he was grateful for the chance to be able to go to Kohelet. Though he graduated with honors from Politz Hebrew Academy, he struggled with reading fluency and scored particularly low on math tests, said his mom, Shelli. He'd been accepted to a yeshiva in Cherry Hill, N.J., but Salemi said he preferred to go to Kohelet, where he'd get a stronger base in biology to prepare him for a possible career in the medical field.
"For a student who's not going to make it in public school anyway, this is just the perfect option," Shelli Salemi raved. "All it is is a different learning style and a different pace. It's like having your child home-schooled, but with an actual teacher in an actual class."
Aside from getting social skills from being around other students, Salemi said her son gets to take advantage of all the faculty and programs Kohelet has to offer. "He's totally included in everything," she said, noting that he plays in a student band and on the school baseball team.
After a year in the program, Salemi said he now tests at or above grade level, which means he'll return to the mainstream classroom for general studies in the fall. While Salemi said he's looking forward to that, he'll miss not having to take as many notes because he could always pull them up on his screen, or the ability to work ahead at any time.
This spring, for example, he finished a biology course, so his teacher gave him chemistry lessons that he might continue over the summer.
"It's really up to the student," Salemi said. "If you don't want to work as much you're not going to get as far and if you want to excel, you will."
Adult Education
Along with revamping student curriculum, Weinbach used another $15,000 of Kohelet Foundation funding approved by a team of leaders from the Jewish Day School Collaborative of Greater Philadelphia to hire local law professor Chaim Saiman to coordinate multiple levels of free adult education programs.
"The Jewish world needs Modern Orthodoxy that is true to itself and engaged with the Jewish and world communities around it," Weinbach said. "We need to connect to our entire Jewish community as we all share a common Jewish destiny."
In addition to basic and advanced level text study groups on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings, Saiman brought in guest speakers on a variety of topics.
"This is groundbreaking for Philadelphia," said Saiman's wife, Shari, 35. "We get world class speakers from all walks of life."
Rabbi Tzvi Sinensky will take over the programming in the fall as the new, full-time head of the beit midrash. Aside from facilitating adult education, Sinensky will coordinate a team of part-time Jewish studies teachers and lead religious discussions for the students. His wife, Tova Warburg Sinensky, will also join the staff.
Bella Krieger, 30, of Bala Cynwyd, lauded Kohelet for coming up with an innovative, sophisticated way for the local community to learn about their Jewish heritage. "I haven't had things like this in my adult life," said Krieger.
"It's been able to strengthen the community, to get people through the doors," added Yonina Jacobson, 41, of Bala Cynwyd, who has two daughters at the school and another who just graduated.
Most recently, the school hosted a four-part series on the relationship between Jewish law and medical ethics. One of the presentations, featuring New York-based Orthodox rabbi and biology professor Moshe David Tendler, drew microbiologist David Abraham and his wife.
"It was a rare opportunity to hear it from somebody who knows it from both ends," Abraham said, referencing Tendler's role as both a rabbi and a scientist.
Normally, Henchy Abraham said, they don't have any reason to come to Kohelet. They sent their four sons to yeshivas. But, she said, the topic caught their attention because they both have elderly mothers who could be facing palliative care fairly soon.
"Here it's a religious outlook as well as a secular," she said. "It feels more trustworthy than just being out in the world and hearing those philosophies."
Likewise, the topic attracted Amy Davis, 38, of Bryn Mawr, a palliative care doctor who describes herself as "conservadox." Davis said she's participated in many medical ethics discussions, but this one intrigued her because Tendler "could actually give us the answers."
"It was geared toward asking more questions than you knew how to ask when you came in the room, which I can't find so easy as an adult," Davis said. "Whatever they're going to do next, I'm going to come."
Stepping Up
Kohelet's next venture begins in the fall: the "Step Up" track for students new to day school. Instead of joining the rest of their age group in classes on the books of the Prophets, the Talmud and the Torah, "Step Up" students will spend that time learning Hebrew, with a little complementary text study. They'll rejoin regular Judaic studies courses the following year.
Administrators have discussed the concept for a while, Baker said, but it wasn't until this year that there seemed to be enough interest and support to make it a reality. So far, three students have enrolled, and a few others expressed interest, according to administrators.
Among them is Claire Eckstein Indik. She became a Bat Mitzvah at Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El, a Conservative synagogue in Wynnewood, and has been studying with a private tutor since then — but the rest of her education has been completely secular at a series of Friends schools, said her mom, Sharon Eckstein.
Eckstein, a product of day school herself, said she would've sent Claire and her other 11-year-old daughter to day school earlier but the options close to their home in Ardmore just didn't seem like a good fit. Though Eckstein doesn't define her family as Modern Orthodox, she said Kohelet appealed to them because it was co-ed and the "Step Up" program presented an inviting, manageable way to ease into a Jewish setting.
"They're not trying to be thrust into something that would be difficult to get up to speed with everybody else," said Eckstein, a supervisor at a University of Pennsylvania legal clinic.
The fact that other students will be catching up on Hebrew was also a selling point, Eckstein said, because "it's nice not to be the only one."
Even though Claire will start out behind most of her classmates, Eckstein said she thought her daughter would find that being in a Jewish environment makes certain aspects of life easier.
"You have a community of people who are on your same cycle," Eckstein explained. "You're not choosing should I do this afterschool activity or maybe I can't do it because they always have the track meet on Saturday.
"You don't have to always make those choices," she continued, because "that's part of the life of the school."

Claire Danes & Hugh Dancy: Chistmas Eve Stroll with Cyrus
Enjoying a stroll with their newest addition to the family, Claire Danes and her hubby, Hugh Dancy, took baby Cyrus out and about in New York City on Christmas Eve (December 24).
The "Homeland" actress looked cozy in a fur-trimmed winter jacket, grey hat, and brown boots as she and her man shared a conversation while pushing around their newborn.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the Hollywood couple welcomed their first child, Cyrus Michael Christopher Dancy, into the world last week (December 17).
Danes announced she was expecting back in July, and told People magazine that she is eager to "get to know our new Dancy."

· The failure to have policies or prevention systems is, in itself, an action by the Club to take no action. In other words and for example, if sued by the victim or her/his family, a court would most likely say "The athlete was harmed by the Club's failure to exercise reasonable care on behalf of the athlete by failing to adopt and administer policies that would have prevented the abuse suffered."
Why, from a "protection from harm" perspective, is it important for a local club to have policies defining prohibited behaviors, misconduct, etc.?
A:· Coach/athlete abuse is a foreseeable risk of harm to participants, and as such, the Club has the responsibility to protect athletes against the occurrence of such harm.

Shampoo bottle =)
Use your knife to cut through the plastic cap ca. 4 mm from the top. This will allow you to remove the opening mechanism lid.
Under the top lid you will find two small posts and a little pipe. Remove these as well as you can using pliers and knife.
Heating the knife over a candle helps.
Slice som duct tape to shreds of a little less than 1cm x 10cm.
Wrap it around one end of the spongy stuff from inside the donor marker. You don't want it to be to tight
Use super glue on the duct tape and the inside of the top of the tip. Glue them together. You might need to trim the nib even more

"*****s Know"
^Truth. Plus, tell me walking around with a fucking bottle of shampoo isnt conspicuous as a flaming turd with a sign saying "I'M UP TO SOMETHING!!!!!!"
"When sh*t becomes valuable, the poor will be born without assholes."

Chris at C Gleam is awesome at his job. His passion for his work shows through. His attention to cleaning every little detail is immaculate. I think this is what makes C Gleam a car detailer and not your ordinary car wash/cleaner. Definately 5 stars from me
Deciding to use Access Concierge for our christmas party was a great move. They picked a great venue and built the perfect night with little guidence from us. I will definately use them again for this years coming events.
