Demi: (on the self-inflicted cuts she has) I think scars are like battle wounds-beautiful, in a way. They show what you've been through and how strong you are for coming out of it. My tattoos say "Stay strong." "Stay on one [wrist] and "strong" on the other. Now I'm able to look at them and be thankful for being alive. I think that I've been blessed over the past year to be able to start over.
Demi: What would I do if I were President? That's a good question! I'd make more impact on music classes in school. There are so many schools taking out music programs, but sometimes it's really all kids have. It's all I had when I was in school.
Demi Lovato: (on what you can relate to the theme of Camp Rock) The theme of the movie is to be yourself and not worry about being popular. That's what I had to worry about in middle school. I was always worried about being popular. Wow, if I had a chance to do it over again, I'd so rather be a nerd than be popular -- it's so much less stressful and you can be yourself.
Demi: (on 'Camp Rock') I never wanted a part more than this in my life.

Demi: (on if she sees herself as the next Miley) No, I just see myself as Demi – Miley is amazing and has built a hugely successful career, so I respect that. It's just that, again, we're two totally different artists – and there's room for everyone to be themselves in this business. I'm just trying to be Demi right now!
Demi: (her response when she was asked about her confirmed appearance on the Jonas Brothers' Burning Up Tour) Fans can expect a rocking show. Like, seriously, my music is all gonna be pretty rock. The boys joked about it being a girl-Jonas Brother. And they really stepped up their sound, too, so I know that they're gonna put on a good show. I'm nervous, but I'm so excited. I think all the practicing in the mirror is gonna pay off.
Demi (on her 'Camp Rock' experience): It was a confidence booster. My character and I both like to rock out and now we're not afraid to!
Demi: (On her CD) I'm really excited about these songs. I feel like I've really grown as a songwriter with my last few songs, and I'm anxious to see what the fans think of them.

mcleanofduar I have been hoping for years that Geri would publish a book of her work. This is a beautifully presented glimpse (yes Geri, I'm already hoping for volume 2!) into the past. I especially like the way each painting is presented in a simple manner, without title, that really allows your imagination to take over.
Aaron Alan McLean
karenandmike Geri's paintings are thoughtful, and insightful. They are a clear window into our ancestors' world. Her renderings authentically and respectfully showcase the art of the old ones. Geri accomplishes this by letting the ancient rock art speak without imposing a personal perspective. She affords us all a rare and loving glimpse into the past--Mike and Karen Ann Hoffman

Bicyclist killed on I-35 access road
Updated 11:46 am, Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Photo: Ana Ley/Express-News
A bicyclist was hit and killed by a truck on the shoulder of the northbound Interstate 35 access road near O'Connor Road this morning.
Police Sgt. Fidel Acosta said the man, believed to be in his late 30s or early 40s, was riding the mountain bike on a paved driveway about 9 a.m. when he suddenly moved onto the I-35 access road just before O'Connor Road. He apparently was trying to avoid riding the bike on a gravel-lined path.
Police said a nurse performed CPR on the bicyclist, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police briefly blocked off all lanes on the northbound access road but had reopened the left lane by about 10 a.m.

etter two Titos, than only one. Better for dancing and also for fun…
Dad's history is pretty telling. I brushed up before sitting down with him. On April 20, 1923, Tito Puente was born Ernest Anthony Puente, Jr. to Ercilia Ortiz and Ernesto Puente, Sr. in New York City. Tito began dancing in contests with his sister when he was 5 years old. Then throughout the thirties, Tito would perform with local Latin and society bands. He'd rock matinees with Los Happy Boys at the Park Plaza Hotel. By thirteen he was considered a child prodigy in East Harlem's El Barrio.
He met Jose Curbelo when he was 16 and Curbelo immediately hired him to play his orchestra 's US tour.
From '56 to '60, he released albums like Cuban Carnival, Dance Mania and Puente Goes Jazz. He was also crowned King of Latin Music by Bobby Quintero at the Manhattan Center after beating Perez Prado in a battle of the bands. In 1957 Cuban Artists from around the world were asked to come home to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Cuban music; Tito was the only Puerto Rican artist invited by the Cuban government.
The '60's saw the beginning of a series of collaborations with artists like Buddy Morrow and Woody Herman, and two new vocalists just arriving in New York named Celia Cruz and La Lupe.
From Carlos Santana to Woody Herman, he's been covered by the best. From the Cosby Show to Japan, from the Jackie Gleason to the Blue Note he gets props. In '94 he performed (a tribute to Dizzy Gillespie, Mario Bauza, and Machito) at the Apollo theater.
From the Grammy to the Honorary Doctorates, the world tours and the hype, there is still only one down to earth great jazz timbal player. Tito. And he's got the Smithsonian Medal to prove it (He's probably banged out a song on it). As we're sitting around waiting to take pictures, he's putting himself to work making up songs on the table and bantering with his son about how to make a hit record.
With the soldout concerts in Miami last month and the release of 50 Years of Swing, Tito's 50th Anniversary Box Set on RMM Records, the hills are alive with the sound of Tito. But then again, they sort of always have been.
ñ: What was it like growing up in New York in the 20's?
ñ: So you started very young, huh?
ñ: (laughs) Very cool. What was the Palladium era like in New York?
ñ: I love the box set.
ñ: Which one of your records is your favorite?
ñ: What an album that is.
ñ: Ran Kan Kan still jams.
ñ: ¿Oye Como Va?
ñ: Aside from Tito Jr., do you like when these dance guys sample you?
ñ: So who are your favorite singers that you've worked with?
ñ: So what's in store?
ñ: Cal Jader is the man! I have those great records of his on the Fantasy label on red vinyl.
ñ: And aside from that, travel and play?
ñ: So what do you think of Tito Jr. being a musician?
ñ: I was listening to that version of Para Cochero from the 60s. What record was it? On The Bridge I think. Great cover. You're running across the Brooklyn Bridge with a girl.
ñ: That was Tito Jr.'s mom?
Tito Jr. is a character in his own right. As quiet and thoughtful as he is one on one, he's loud and boisterous and wild when he's out to party or perform. Always ready to greet you with a shake and a 'what's up?'. He's really making a name for himself in the club-radio-wild world of latin house music.
ñ: I saw you at the Latin Billboard awards the other night. Very cool because you won for best video and your dad won for his record.
ñ: Was it hard growing up with such a famous dad?
ñ: You grew up in New York like your dad?
ñ: When did you move to Miami?
ñ: Is Latin House the strongest here?
ñ: How do you think your music fits into the legacy of your dad's music?
ñ: Latin Hip Hop Influences?
ñ: No way
ñ: I was talking to your dad about that great picture, with your mom and him running across the Brooklyn Bridge. You know that cover?
ñ: Tell me about her
ñ: What's next?
ñ: What's the big lesson he's taught you?
Ran Kan Kan, Kan Kan. He more than plays music. He is music. The way he culls inspiration from out of the air. Making up a song in a sec. Goza. Tito. Goza.
Note From The author
When Tito Puente put out his boxset encompassing his entire career in '97, he was readily available for interview and we took full advantage of our opportunity to talk to a legend. At the same time his son Tito Jr.'s Latin Hip Hop thing was taking off and it seemed like a great father's day feature for us. Today Tito Puente Jr. is carrying on in his pop's footsteps and playing Latin swing/jazz/Ran Kan Kan-Tito Puente music. Goza Tito. Goza.
Editor's note:
Wandering through NYC this year in a really bad mood ( I had some personal stuff goin' on), I was headed to the Puerto Rican Day Parade and made my way past the Dakota, always enough to make you feel angry, when you think of Lennon and his murder. I cut through the Strawberry Fields part of Central Park and, not to over romanticize it, it was especially lovely and peaceful that day. The parade felt far away but faintly present, and you could hear the sounds of it in the distance a bit. Someone had placed this lovely picture of Tito on the Imagine circle in honor of the parade. I don't think either John or Tito would mind sharing their space.

Daniel Sharbono
2010, Found materials and acrylic
19 1/2 in. x 40 1/2 in.
Market Value: $430 • Minimum Bid: $215
Proceeds: Museum 50%; Artist 50%
Utilizing found objects as a point of departure for his work, Daniel Sharbono explores the connection between the simple elegance and aesthetic qualities of everyday objects through a playful visual pun of painting a screwdriver and seeing a screwdriver. The execution in this work is multi-layered with clear formalist qualities of shape, line, and color, with the addition of text and the inclusion of how-to instructions. The working up of acrylic on the board, the use of wallpaper, and adding of actual screws and screwdrivers are sophisticatedly combined to make this a successful, yet original, artwork.
Sharborno lives and works in Minot, N.D. He and his wife, Allyssa, are founders of 62 Doors, an artist community based in Minot.

It means that every program that has opened syslog connection won't be able to write to /dev/log anymore. The sad thing is, this is _not_ limited to klogd (that has the same problem) but to every other program (I had very bad case of socks server losing some info used for accounting :( It happens to every program (daemon) that does openlog() only once on startup. Which makes drop in replacement for syslog simply impossible :( -andrej

7 responses to "1006-jessica-alba-gq-uk-00"
how is it that no one comments that "she s on sale now"
that means she is selling sex a bit cheaper than usual
She's got zero cellulite!
nah, it's all about the right poses, getting the muscles to flex and smooth out any problem areas like water in a balloon. never taking pictures from her "bad side".
oh and Photoshop.
Jessica has some sexy lips.
And.. is a certainly a Milf.
Besides 'into the blue" and that stripper
character , been kinda boring.
I'm not into her that much anymore. she
was hotter circa – the "Dark angel" days.
Definitely hit it though… like 2 or 25 times.
I think she look healthy . She is not ugly and not because she has a daughter doesn't mean that she is less atractive..please…
I think that Jessica Alba should not pay attention to those negative comments cause at the end of the day she"s rich and she could do anything to inprove her body..so be it….
She's trying to hard in this pic… she's not sexy, she's ANGRY!!! She may be pretty at most times, but come on now,,, its HOLLYWOOD!!! They get the best of the best… Botox, trainers, the best makeup artist… You think there going to let her walk out the door looking tore up… Jess smile for once,,, your life isn't THAT bad!!!

Richard Dunne's last-gasp own goal helped 10-man Queens Park Rangers grab a deserved 1-1 draw from this afternoon's Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
Despite dominating the play, QPR fell behind to a Barry Bannan penalty after a soft-looking decision, before Alan Hutton twice handled the ball in the box at the other end.
Oliver did not give either decision but, while frustrated, Warnock believes QPR can be proud of their performance.
''When I was a young man, my father was a referee and he always said that a 'good referee you don't very often see','' he said.
''I thought in today's game the two main decisions went against us.
''When not one Aston Villa supporter behind the goal appeals for a penalty you know there is something wrong.
''It is a very soft one. From his position he assures me he saw this and technically you've still got to change the course of the play.
''You could have blown him down with the amount of contact you're actually talking about.
''If he gives that, there have got to be 20 or 30 more decisions given in the box every game because there is a lot more pulling than that.
''Likewise, I thought he was in a good position for the first handball on 70-odd minutes.
''The lad actually moved his arm down for the handball and it is the most certain 100 per cent penalty you'll ever see when you see it tonight.
''So, we've been unlucky on both counts but, if I am honest, I don't think there was anything to referee.
''I thought the attitude of the players was brilliant, up to the penalty decision.''
Asked whether he spoke to Oliver afterwards, he said: ''Yeah, I always do. I just tell him my opinion.
''I think when you are a young referee you listen and hopefully you learn not just from your assessors but those that have played the game or manage.
''I made one or two points, which I think will help him when something like that happens again.'
Warnock was quick to deny that the 26-year-old was too young to referee in the top flight, with left-back Traore instead feeling the force of his ire.
The Frenchman was sent off for a reckless challenge on Marc Albrighton in the 90th minute, which earned him a second yellow card and looked to have ended any hopes of a QPR comeback.
Although the Hoops managed to snatch a late equaliser, Warnock was furious with Traore.
''I thought it was a disgrace. Not the referee, the player,'' he said.
''I am going to fine him as much as I can. Total amateur Sunday league sending off.
''They must be laughing their heads off, Villa. At that stage, losing 1-0 and he goes in for a tackle like that?
''I would have got him sent off. I would have been there because I knew he was going to knock .125the ball away.375 and jump.
''You've got James Collins and Charles N'Zogbia, who both should have had a second yellow card.
''But both were cleverer, both know what they are doing and they are both playing next week.
''What Traore did, that's not clever at all. He is a young lad, he obviously has got to learn and he can become a very good player.
''But like the referee sometimes you have to learn from experience - and I think Traore will learn from it.''
Warnock pulled the Frenchman back from the tunnel after the sending off and when asked why, he responded: ''To tell him what a disgrace he was. I think he understood what I was saying.''
Counterpart Alex McLeish was visibly frustrated having seen seeing Aston Villa throw away the chance of victory late on and admitted he had stern words with his team at the break.
''I am gutted that we should throw that away in the dying embers of the game,'' he said. ''Especially after a second half performance that was much more what I expect of these players.
''The first half was pretty woeful and I let them know that at half-time.
''Fortunately we restricted QPR to not many gilt-edged chances in the first-half as the back five defended well.
''The irony was that two of the top players ended up in the equalising goal. I felt sorry for those guys.''

She was married to Curtis B. Dall in 1926 and had two children, Anna Eleanor Seagraves and Curtis Roosevelt. She then married John Boettiger in 1935 and they had one son, John Roosevelt Boettiger. In 1952 she married James A. Halsted.
In 1944, at her father's request, Anna moved into the White House to serve him as an unpaid personal aide, eventually functioning as an assistant to the President. During her mother's frequent absences she served as White House hostess. Anna monitored her father's declining health and, additionally, met with people FDR was unable to see. She accompanied her father to his meeting with Prime Minister Churchill and Marshall Stalin at Yalta in 1945.
Prior to World War II Anna was active as a writer and journalist, serving for several years as Associate Editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. She devoted much of her later life to problems of education and to carrying on many of her mother's interests and philanthropies, particularly her active support of the Roosevelt Library.
She died of cancer at the age of 69 in 1975.
James (23 December 1907 – 13 August 1991)
James Roosevelt, the oldest son, was born on December 23, 1907 in New York City. Adhering to what would come to be something akin to family tradition, he attended the Groton School, before moving on to Harvard University, and then Boston University for his law degree.
He had an early interest in politics, helping with his father's 1936 re-election campaign. He also worked in the Roosevelt White House as an executive assistant. He joined the Marine Corps at the outbreak of the Second World War, fighting in the Gilbert Islands, Guadalcanal, and the Battle of Midway, earning the Navy Cross and the Silver Star.
After the war, James relocated to California. His first foray into politics was an unsuccessful bid for the California governorship, losing to future Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1954 and served until 1965. President Johnson asked him to be a delegate to the United Nations, the organization for which his parents had worked so hard. He served for a year. He later started an advocacy group for Social Security and Medicare. He passed away in 1991 from complications due to a stroke and Parkinson's disease.
Elliot (23 September 1910 - 1990)
Born on September 23, Elliot Roosevelt was educated at Groton Academy. After finishing Groton and the Hun School in New Jersey, Elliot entered the business world, specializing in advertising and journalism, where he rose to the level of executive in several firms.
When America entered the Second World War, Elliot joined the United States Army, volunteering as a captain with the Air Corps. He saw active service as a reconnaissance pilot in the invasions of North Africa, Sicily, and France. He received the U.S. Air Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Distinguished Flying Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, and was made an honorary member of the Legion d'Honneur and the Order of the British Empire. Elliot also accompanied his father during the negotiations with Allied leaders at the Atlantic Charter Conference, the Casablanca Conference, and the Cairo and Tehran Conferences.
After the war, Elliot devoted his life to writing, beginning in 1946 with
As He Saw It
, an account of Roosevelt's actions during the war. He followed this with
An Untold Story: the Roosevelts of Hyde Park
A Rendezvous with Destiny: The Roosevelts of the White House
Mother: Eleanor Roosevelt's Untold Story
The Conservators
(1984), and
Eleanor Roosevelt, with Love: A Centenary Remembrance
(1985). He also wrote several fiction mystery novels, centered on the First Lady as an amateur sleuth, solving murders in myriad places: Hyde Park, the White House, and Buckingham Palace, to name but a few.
Franklin Delano Jr. (17 August 1914 - 17 August 1988)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr. was born on August 17, 1914 on Campobello Island, New Brunswick in Canada. He was educated at the Groton School, graduated from Harvard University in 1937, and completed law school at the University of Virginia in 1940.
Franklin joined the U.S. armed forces at the outbreak of the Second World War, joining the Naval Reserves. He was called to active duty in the Navy in March of 1941, serving in North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific, and was decorated for bravery in the battle of Casablanca and awarded the Purple Heart Medal and the Silver Star. After the war, Franklin Jr. practiced law and became active in politics with a combination of appointive and elective office.
He was chairman of housing activities for the American Veterans Committee (1945-47), national vice-chairman of Americans for Democratic Action, and vice-chairman of the President's Civil Rights Commission (1949). Beginning in 1949, he also served three terms in Congress representing New York's Twentieth Congressional District. His loss of the 1954 New York gubernatorial nomination to Tammany Hall-backed candidate Averell Harriman effectively torpedoed his elective political career but led to a subsequent reform movement that resulted in the demise of Tammany Hall and its boss, Carmine DeSapio. Franklin Jr. also lost two later bids for elective office; one for New York state attorney general in 1954 and another bid for governor on the Liberal ticket in 1966.
He actively campaigned for John F. Kennedy's bid for the Presidency, and after Kennedy's election, Franklin was named Under Secretary of Commerce, a position he held until 1965 when President Lyndon Johnson named him head of the Equal Opportunity Commission. He remained in that position until 1966.
During the 1960's and later, Franklin became increasingly involved in business, primarily focusing on importing foreign cars to the U.S. Throughout his life he was an accomplished, experienced and enthusiastic sailor who loved the sea. He also had a love for the land and farming, successfully raising pure bred cattle and horses on his farm in Dutchess County, New York.
He passed away in Poughkeepsie, New York on his 74
birthday in 1988.
John (13 March 1916 - 27 April 1981)
The youngest of the Roosevelt Children, John Roosevelt was born on March 13, 1916 in Washington, D.C. He was educated at Groton and Harvard University. During the Second World War, he served in the Navy aboard the USS Wasp, an aircraft carrier in the Pacific theater.
After leaving active service in the Navy, John owned a Los Angeles department store. His business acumen extended to the investment company Regency Fund, and as head of Universal Products, Inc. He then joined the firm of Bache, Halsey, Stuart, Shields & Company, where he served as a senior vice president until his retirement in 1980. He was also active in many non-profit activities, including the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (which his father had helped to create), the Greater New York Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and as a trustee of the State University system of New York.
Unlike his brothers, John never ran for elected office, preferring to help the political careers of others. He lent his support to the Presidential campaigns of Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, as well as the gubernatorial campaign of Nelson Rockefeller, and the Senatorial campaign of Jacob Javits. He died of heart failure on April 27, 1981, in New York City.

BB Man: How did your education and upbringing guide you to a career as an artist?
Serra: I grew up in Bolinas, which a small town in Northern California. My mom was always painting and making things when we were growing up so creativity was encouraged, and my dad is always full of ideas. It wasn't until high school that I realized my uncle (the minimalist sculptor Richard Serra) was such a radical artist. I had always thought of him as the uncle who surfed. He would visit time to time. At UC Santa Cruz I primarily focused on printmaking and drawing. It was there that I realized the potential of art and its ability to make people look at things differently.
BB Man: Tell us about the Fake Roley. How did this collaboration with Brooklyn's Grey Area art gallery come up?
Serra: In 2011 when Grey Area began, Kyle DeWoody, one of the founders, wanted to work together. I had made a simple cast of The Submariner, the ultimate luxury watch, as a kind of comment on status and obsolescence. Kyle asked if I could make some out of silicone that could be worn. I cast the original prototype from a fake Rolex that I purchased on the street in NYC. So in a way, it is designed from a replica of a fake, making it a new original. Also, making something that can be worn, or put on a shelf to be looked at as art, is an interesting dichotomy. It is an object that can reach a wider spectrum of people than a single work of art.
BB Man: Late last year, you cast 17 engine blocks from silicone, which were then displayed in various Helmut Lang stores worldwide. Why the engine block?
Serra: I chose American engine blocks from the late 1960's to early 70's because these are from the cars that have come to represent the past strength and power of our automobile industry. The Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger and Chevy Corvette are icons of this era, which was a pinnacle of technology in the last century.
BB Man: What are you working on right now?
Serra: I am constantly working on new projects and experimenting with things. Continuity is equally as important as developing new groups of work. Recently, I have been working on a series of drawings of Camellia flowers for some of the Chanel boutiques, as well as some designs for Fred Segal. These projects are in a different realm than the drawings and sculptures that I make for gallery exhibitions. I feel it is important to have a variety of things going on at once, as it keeps things new.
BB Man: Can you recall the best advice you've ever received as an artist?
Serra: Simplify. Everyone is unique already. And to quote my uncle Richard: "Work comes out of work."

What parents need to know about sexting
What do you know about sexting and what it means for your child? Dr Justin Coulson shares exactly what we need to know.
Ask any parent whether they want their children (whether tweens, teens or otherwise) to be sending sexually explicit pictures to others and you'll receive a resounding – and near universal – no.
There are the obvious issues:
- The recipient may be untrustworthy and share the image
- The recipient may not be who they say they are
- The image may end up being used as 'sex-tortion' (where your child is blackmailed into sending more images or what has been shared will be put online).
But in all likelihood, it also says something else about your child -that he or she is beginning to experiment in a sexual way.
Kids who text a lot are more likely to be sexually active
A new study published by the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention, published in the July 2014 issue of Pediatrics, provides one more issue to make parents sit up and take note: those who reported receiving a sext were six times more likely to also report being sexually active.
The study anonymously sampled more than 1,300 school students in Los Angeles. Respondents ranged in age from 10-15, with an average age of just 12.3 years. The researchers found that young teens who sent more than 100 texts a day were more likely to report being sexually active.
Other key findings:
- Young teens who sent sexts were almost four times more likely to report being sexually active.
- Sending and receiving sexts goes hand in hand.
- Sexting is highly prevalent in LGBTQ students. They were nine times more likely to have sent a sext.
- Youth who texted more than 100 times a day were more than twice as likely to have received a sext and almost 4.5 times more likely to report having sent a sext.
Overall, 20 percent of students with text-capable mobile phones said they had received a sext.
What does all of this mean?
In a nutshell, kids who sext – either sending or receiving – are much more likely to be engaging in sexual behaviour than kids who don't sext.
Past data has shown clear links between early sexual debut and risky sexual behaviour, including teenage pregnancy, sex under the influence of drugs or alcohol, experience of forced sex and higher risk of sexually transmitted disease. It appears that there is some relationship between sexting behaviour and sexual activity.
Four things ALL parents should be doing about their kids and sexting
1. Talk to your kids
Parents need to be talking with their children about sex and intimacy from a young age, and answer questions openly and honestly. I recommend specific conversations about procreation should start around the age of eight. Conversations about pornography and sexting should be occurring by around the age of 10-11. If you don't talk to them about it, their friends will.
Also, make sure you clearly tell your children that possession of a 'sext' is considered child pornography, and they can be charged as a sex offender – something that will follow them through their lives. It has happened, and will happen again. (Oh, and it can even happen if the message was unsolicited, and they've asked the person NOT to send it.)
2. Ensure age guidelines are followed
Parents should be mindful about the age their children can access various technologies and apps. If Kik is not recommended for those under 18, or Facebook is not recommended for those under 13, then parents should follow those guidelines. They are there to keep YOUR children safe. Remember, kids need smart parents, not smart phones. And smart parents give their children 'dumb' phones.
3. Set clear boundaries – and stick to them
Parents should be talking with their children about how they will monitor the way their children use technology. This monitoring should be agreed to ahead of time, and include discussion about when, where and how technology should be used. It should also include discussion about what parents will be monitoring and how. We do this best when we provide clear rationales to our children and also listen to their perspectives and work with our children to develop agreed upon strategies.
4. Stay informed – know your kids
Parents should be alert, involved and open to consistent conversations about the appropriate use of technology. Our children are consistently demonstrating that they are willing to sacrifice privacy and safety for the gratification they feel when their social network responds positively. This craving for reward, combined with curiosity and hormones, leaves them in a vulnerable position where they may make risky choices that can destroy their reputations and endanger them physically.
When it comes to children and 'sexting', parents need to be talking with their children, warning their children and monitoring their children online.
What is your family doing to protect kids from this sort of behaviour?

Hello all!
I am nursing my baby who is 6 months old. I work full time and have been able to provide enough milk that she has only gotten breast milk. She still nurses quite a bit, but does enjoy eating 3 meals a day of pureed foods. She has (mostly) slept through the night for a few months now. I had my first PP period in December.
I found out that I am pregnant this week! I was very surprised, but we are excited. I am concerned about my milk supply though. She only gets one bottle at day care. She takes 6 oz and sometimes that is difficult for me to provide for. I am just barely scraping by right now. She gets no other bottles ever, so that I can save up whatever I can pump.
I am actually an IBCLC, but have been out of my practice now for several years, and didn't have much experience with pregnant moms nursing and supply issues.
It has been hard finding information on nursing a younger baby while pregnant. Much of the information is relating to safety of nursing and toddler breastfeeding issues. I have seen some information that around 16 weeks is when supply seems to go down quite a bit. So that would mean she would be about 9-10 months old when that happens.
Just wondering if you guys had any experience with nursing younger babies while nursing and what kind of supply issues you had. Obviously working full time makes this difficult, but that won't change (unfortunately!).
I got pregnant when ds1 was about 7 months, and when he was about 10 months, I was barely producing any milk. My ds was used to a bottle and we had enough of a freezer stash to last us for one month after that, but that was it. He was on goats milk until a year, and then cow milk BUT, I EPed with him, so he never had to cold turkey wean or anything like that.
My ds2 was EBF for about 14months, and I got pregnant with DD when he was about 11months. I lost all my milk when I was 14 weeks pregnant, and it was sooooooo hard for him. He still dry nurses and its so irritating. He does not take a bottle at all, so thats what made it harder, I think.
I don't really know what to tell you ... it was so hard losing my milk.
Coffee, Vintage and Kids. My Life.
Goat's milk is not recommended and there have been problems in Europe where feeding babies less than a year old was a more common practice than in the US. Of course formula is the only alternative to human milk in the US and now in Europe. Goat's milk is for baby goats and has not been modified to be similar to human milk. It could cause damage that you don't realize is from goat's milk or may not show up for years.
I breastfed through a pregnancy and always had milk. My son was 2 and was a strong nurser. I didn't have problems with sore nipples or breasts. He had his first asthma attack when I was 6 months pregnant and was in the ICU at a childrens hospital. My husband worked at the hospital as the head of the supply department and he got us a regular bed rather than the big cage beds they had for toddlers. I stayed all the time and our son stopped eating and nursed so much he brought in a full supply. His expected hospital stay was cut in half because he was doing so well breastfeeding and could stop IVs.
The rest of the pregnancy he continued to nurse a lot and I had plenty of milk. He didn't eat much and his allergist encouraged me to breastfeed him as much as possible. His asthma was severe and he had monster diarrhea. We didn't know it at the time but he has a genetic immune deficiency disease that was finally diagnosed when he was 8. I didn't (couldn't) wean him until he was 6 because of his medical issues.
I think you are in a difficult situation. For brain growth experts think babies need around 32 oz of formula or human milk a day. Developmental psychologists believe that whatever happens during that time can't be made up for by better nutrition or interventions. With what we know now if you don't think your baby is getting enough milk, formula is the best alternative. You might consider cutting back to working part time or quitting work to breastfeed more. The difficulties caused by not working may be worth it. Howerver, your body may not make milk even if you were there all the time.
Your baby can feed himself fork mashed foods rather than pureed food fed by spoon. Since you are going to have less milk the food your baby eats is even more important. Some people think that babies eating is for fun or learning or some other silly reason. The idea that babies don't eat for nutrition was promoted by baby food companies, Earth Baby may have been the worst. They want you to spoon feed their watered down, expensive food rather than letting your baby eat fresh food. You want the foods your baby eats to be mostly superfoods and avoid the typical American baby diet of "baby" foods, french fries, chicken sticks, and mac and cheese.

I am going through this right now! What I've heard from my practicing ibclc friend and midwife is that more milk two is a great way to go http://www.amazon.com/Motherlove-Herbal-Company-Alcohol-liquid/dp/B000JZ1ZE6. And my ibclc friend said mothers milk tea generally isn't something they recommend because of the fenugreek, but my midwife said that the tea is totally fine since there isn't much fenugreek in it. She has rav reviews and everyone says she knows her stuff so I trust her. Also eating and drinking (a lot) as much as possible. I also have an appointment with my homeopath later this month to see what she recommends as well. I am really determined to BF as much as possible despite this surprise, lol. Good luck!!

Also, I was told to nurse as much as possible to keep the supply up and doing that there shouldn't be a problem. That was my problem with my son, I nursed him for two years but when I became pregnant I didn't understand the working to keep the supply up part, i.e. nurse as much as possible.

By Olivia Barker, USA TODAY
When it comes to style, Boardwalk Empire is about to do for the '20s what Mad Men has done for the '60s.
Subdued shades and silhouettes
The thing about '20s togs is that "they're really wearable," Cernek says. "The palette is easy" — burnt siennas, graying blues and mossy greens. "It's not a super-bold, flashy print." And individual garments, like a dropwaist dress or a delicate blouse, still seem modern. The key, of course, Cernek says, is to assemble an outfit merely inspired by the era. "It's not part of a time capsule, so it's taking one or two pieces and mixing them with a different decade" — pairing that blouse with jeans and hefty boots, for instance. "It's all about the contrast and the mix."
Sturdy shoes
Fall saw the toppling of the tottering platform and the return of the kitten heel — the kind of relatively sensible shoe favored by flappers. "Mary Janes are definitely ready for a return," Cernek says. And the lace-up granny boot is "kind of this year's answer to last winter's chunky black sculptural boot. It's a lot sweeter." Moreover, shoes are a solid way to dip your toe into a vintage trend "because they're kind of low-commitment," Cernek says. "They won't totally overwhelm your look."
Dandy duds
Menswear of late has seen a focus on "heritage, on patina, on something that has a story," Cernek says. "An easy route for that to take is back to the '20s," with the rise of the dandy, Gatsby American male and all the accessories that come with that archetype. "Suspenders are returning, vests are returning," Cernek points out. "I haven't seen the return of the pocket watch, but it's only a matter of time, pun intended." The '20s were about "texture and about a tactile finish. You've got those really plush velvets, the really airy silks," and for guys, the nubby tweed suits and smoothly woven, contrast-collar shirts.

Maybe the 40's tomorrow? Hope? Hope?
Post at will.
Friday I did 60 minutes on the track.
Saturday was SDO. Honest!
Sunday was a good 50 minutes on the track. I did some speed work since I had lots of extra sleep on the weekend.
Today will be a track run. I've been trying to work on endurance. I missed doing it when I worked only on speed.
Speed. Wow, is that a relative term for me with these short rodent legs.
Happy runs, All! :::HUGS:::

Good Morning everyone!
Off to work today after 16 days off. It's almost like the first week of school. I'll have to spend the week practicing procedures and "retraining" the kids. Makes for an easy week, though. I've learned, after 12 years, to try not to teach anything right after returning from a break. Especially with the kinder and 1st graders!
I've got Jazzercise scheduled after work today. New workout routine for both me and DH. We will see how it goes! He is supposed to be walking the track at work today. He works at University of N TX, in the building right by the stadium, so no excuses unless it is raining!
Lisa Marie
Judy, I didn't think you ever scheduled a day off. : ) You deserved one.
Anyone heard how Karen's 50 k went?
Hiking for me this am-pretty easy 4 mi with group here, 3-4 easy this afternoon.
Have a great day!
Sorry for my post-and-run-ness over the weekend!
As for the 50K, I kinda decided on the drive up that I might/probably would only do the 25K. I was tired and I hadn't even started running. Plus if I did the 50K, I would probably not get home until dark, and although it was a beautiful day for a run (sunny and upper 30s), I had a lot to do. I just wasn't feeling it. So once I got there I decided to only do one loop (2 loop course) and instead of walking the uphills, which I would normally do more of in a 50K, I pushed on the uphills as training for the 40 miler in February. And I ran a little faster than I would have in a 50K (not as training for the 50 miler, but just because I could since I was only running half as far). The course was beautiful, probably 98% singletrack. Hilly, very hilly, which was what I needed. Towards the end of the loop, the sun was high enough and the temps warm enough that the mud was thawing and the course was getting a little sloppy. I wasn't feeling the love there, so I was glad I had already decided to quit after one loop. Finished, signed out, ate some food, and made the hour and a half drive home with time left in the day to run some errands and stuff. I have been tired all weekend, and still am today, so I think I made the right decision. Especially since this wasn't a race, and I'm supposed to be finishing up the first week of marathon training, which called for an easy 6 that day.
Sunday woke up stiff and sore. I can most certainly tell I haven't been running hilly trails for the last several months. I went to the rail trail by my house and ran an flat, easy 10 to loosen things up. I'm still stiff and sore today from Saturday, but much better than yesterday. I have trail runs planned at least every other weekend until Mt. Mitchell and will add more in, so hope that helps. Figuring out the training is tough, because I really just want to be able to finish Mt. Mitchell and not be too sore after, and I want to focus more on my May marathon. Which is super flat. The problems of wanting to do all the cool races/runs out east before moving to Texas in 2014/15, yet still do well in goal races. I am hoping to at least do a BQ-10 (3:45) at NJ, and may shoot for a BQ-20 (3:35). Which is going to require "real" marathon training.
Ah well, there you have it. Now to go back and read the rest of the weekend's posts. Like I said, was really tired all weekend and didn't get on here much.
Since everyone else is blogging: http://karenrunsfar.blogspot.com/Upcoming Races: 2016: BCS Marathon. 2017: Houston Marathon, The Woodlands Marathon, Oklahoma City Marathon and Missoula Marathon (50th one on my 50th birthday). After that, who knows?

There has been plenty of criticism over the White Sox and Cubs playing their City Series on four weeknights in early May, especially in a week with the Blackhawks in the playoffs and the NFL draft.
Tuesday morning, a Major League Baseball official defended the schedule.
"There are now 15 teams in each league," MLB senior vice president of scheduling Kate Feeney said on WSCR-AM 670's "Mully and Hanley Show." "So there has to be an interleague series in every slot, if you look at the schedule. We have 30 teams, not just two."

If you haven't aready done it, I suggest that you look into
obituaries/family histories in the Pembroke area. Of the 115 Lyttles
listed in the Ontario Cemeteries Finding Aid, 30 of them were buried in
Westmeath United/St. Andrews United cemetery in Westmeath Township,
Renfrew. There were quite a few more not so far away in Carp/Carleton
County. There are also quite a few Lytles buried in McNabb Township. The
Upper Ottawa Valley Genealogy Group has a listing for these cemeteries for
sale and I see that there is also a member of that group named LYTLE who
has written a family history for another surname.
In the 1880s, a series of County Atlases were produced for Ontario. Many
of these contain listings of subscribers, short biographies, and even
drawings of prominent people and houses. These atlases were reproduced in
1967 as a centennial project and are available in the reference section of
most Ontario libraries. McGill University has been digitizing them in its
Canadian County Atlas Digital Project.

First off, I'm going to say, I'm still running 5.1.1 and accepted the fact that auto location is never going to be updated for the forseeable future, that being said, my first question.
I have been searching/reading about the 4s location services and have learned that it is a combination of cell tower triangulation with satellite gps as well, because just satellite alone is slower, the question is, is there a way to use just the old fashioned, less accurate, cell tower triangulation for local weather (for use with weather widgets) to use just to know what city I'm in or near, instead of exact location?
My second question, if the first question is actually possible, will it improve battery life compared to using location services all the time?
My thinking is that it may be a way to improve battery life by using the old fashioned cell tower triangulation to get a "reasonable" location fast and easy without using more battery for gps service running, since the phone communicates with cell towers anyway. Please give me some thoughts on this...

In the wake of a 2011 scandal involving her husband, former U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin has remained supportive and helped engineer Weiner's comeback as a candidate in the upcoming New York City mayoral race. Abedin is a former Hillary Clinton adviser. Weiner resigned from Congress after acknowledging having sexual conversations with at least a half-dozen women. New revelations about the scandal have emerged in recent days.
Lisa Burns, professor of communications and chairwoman of media studies, is available to comment. The author of "First Ladies and the Fourth Estate," Burns has written extensively about first ladies.
Burns says, "If Huma Abedin has forgiven her husband and wants to stay with him, that's her decision — but I disagree with her claim that this is a private family matter. Her husband has shown incredibly poor decision-making by continuing to send sexually-explicit messages to women who are not his wife after he resigned from Congress — and after his son was born. Do New Yorkers want someone with such poor impulse control as their mayor? Also, his actions show a lack of respect for his wife and his marriage vows. And the crude sexual messages reflect a general lack of respect for women, who he seems to view as sex objects. His presence in the race could distract from the real issues facing the city. But, if he remains in the race, it will be up to New Yorkers to decide if this is the type of man they want as their mayor."
To reach Burns, please call John Morgan, associate vice president for public relations, at 203-206-4449.

Andrew Will Winery (Chris Camarda, winemaker) in Yakima Valley--especially the "Two Blondes."
He found the hostiles in strong force on the Nahchess River, one of the upper tributaries of the Yakima.
It was found in the Yakima Valley, and is in the collection of Mr. Janeck.
So far as appears at present, the Seattle railway will have a monopoly of all these fields except the Yakima or Roslyn.
The object is made of blue stone and was found in the Yakima Valley.
Ties 197 and timber for bridges had to be obtained from the head waters of the Yakima River, an untried stream.
From the spot one can see out over the valley of the Yakima.
Does he prefer the Yakima reservation to that of the Nez Perces?
The Klikitat were a Shahaptian tribe, near kin to the Yakima.
Three thousand carloads of fruit and vegetables were shipped from the Yakima in 1907.

Sousa teuszii (Kükenthal,
English: Atlantic humpback dolphin, Cameroon dolphin
German: Kamerun-Flußdelphin
Spanish: Delfín jorobado del Atlántico
French: Dauphin du Cameroun
Family Delphinidae
Sousa teuszii © Würtz-Artescienza (see
1. Description
Humpback dolphins are medium sized and robust. Their melon is slightly
depressed and slopes gradually to an indistinct junction with the
long, narrow beak. The broad flippers are rounded at the tip and
the flukes are broad and full, with a deep median caudal notch.
The dorsal fin emerges from a hump or ridge of connective tissue
on the back. Body length reaches 2.8m and body mass 284 kg. Colour
is somewhat variable with slate gray on the back and light gray-whitish
below. Some animals have dark spots on the tail stock and near the
base of the fin (Jefferson et al. 2008).
Recent morphological as well as genetic research confirms that S.
teuszii is in fact a separate species of the genus Sousa (Jeffersson
and Van Waerebeek, 2004; Frere et al., 2008).
2. Distribution
Sousa teuszii ranges on the coast of West Africa from Dakhla Bay
(23°54'N) in Western Sahara south to Tombua (15°47'S), southern
Angola. A total of six contemporary management stocks are provisionally
discerned: Dakhla Bay (Western Sahara), Banc d'Arguin (Mauritania),
Saloum-Niumi (Senegal), Canal do Gêba-Bijagos (Guinea-Bissau),
South Guinea and Angola. Two stocks are historical (now extirpated):
Cameroon and Gabon Estuary (Van Waerebeek et al. 2004).
Distribution of Sousa teuszii: coastal
waters of tropical West Africa
(Reeves et al. 2008; © IUCN; enlarge
The species remains unrecorded in Ghana and neighbouring
nations despite apparently suitable coastal habitat (Van Waerebeek
et al. 2009).
3. Population size
S. teuszii seems to be particularly common in southern Senegal
and northwestern Mauritania (Carwardine,1995). However, there are
no rigourous population estimates for any of the regions where the
species might exist (Van Waerebeek et al., 2004). From north to
south, the Dakhla Bay and the Banc d'Arguin stocks appear to be
very small (Van Waerebeek et al., 2004). Rough population estimates
for the Saloum delta, Senegal were 100 animals (Ross et al. 1994,
Reyes, 1991 and refs. therein). The high number of opportunistic
sightings suggests that the still relatively undisturbed waters
of Guinea-Bissau, enclosing extensive mangrove forest habitat, may
support one of the largest known populations of S. teuszii: the
Canal do Gêba-Bijagos stock. The status of the South Guinea,
Cameroon and Gaboon Estuaries management stocks is unknown, although
the latter two are likely extinct. The Angola stock is presumably
very small (Van Waerebeek et al. 2004), but its existence was recently
confirmed (Weir, 2007).
4. Biology and Behaviour
Habitat: This species prefers coastal and estuarine waters
less than 20m deep and occurs in the surf zone on more open coasts.
There are no reports of its presence in offshore waters. The preferred
habitat is near sandbanks and mangrove areas, in turbid waters with
temperatures ranging between 17°C and 28°C (Maigret, 1982,
in Ross et al. 1994). It has been recorded up to 33 miles up the
Saloum River and is known to enter the Niger and Bandiala Rivers,
and possibly others, though it rarely travels far upstream and usually
remains within the tidal range (Carwardine, 1995).

Pages (see "links").
Schooling: Humpback dolphins form small schools throughout
their distribution, ranging from one to about 25 dolphins off West
Africa (Ross et al., 1994 and refs. therein).
Reproduction: Breeding has been reported in March and April,
but the season may be more protracted (Jefferson et al., 1993).
Food: Schooling fish e.g. mullet (Jefferson et al., 1993).
Stomachs contained pomadasyid, clupeid and mugilid fish (Ross et
al. 1994 and references therein). There is no evidence for herbivory
as suggested by Kükenthal (1892) (Jefferson et al. 1993).
Busnel (1973; in Ross, 1994) described a remarkable example of a
symbiotic relationship between fishermen and groups of bottlenose
dolphins on the Mauritanian coast around Cap Timiris, north of Nouakchott.
The fishermen wait for migrating shoals of mullet to appear close
to shore, and then apparently summon the dolphins by slapping sticks
on the water surface. The dolphins effectively contain the mullet
on their seaward edge while feeding, enabling the fishermen to deploy
their nets around the fish more easily. Humpback dolphins also take
part in the cooperative harvest, though perhaps fortuitously, since
the method probably requires a larger number of dolphins than the
usual humpback school size.
5. Migration
There are signs of a probable north-south migration, and there
is a potential exchange of individuals between known population
or subpopulation distribution centres (from north to south): Dakhla
Bay (Western Sahara), Banc d'Arguin (Mauritania), Langue de Barbarie
(Senegal), Sine Saloum delta (Senegal), NW bank of the Gambia River
outer estuary (The Gambia) and Guinea-Bissau archipelago (Van Waerebeek
et al. 2000).
Regular cross-border movements between the Saloum Delta (Senegal)
and Niumi National Park (The Gambia) technically qualifies S.
teuszii as a "migratory species" under the Conservation
of Migratory Species (CMS) Convention (Van Waerebeek et al., 2004).
They have been recorded in the Saloum Estuary from January to April,
with very few observations in subsequent months. However, catch
data show that the species was taken north of the estuary from June
to August (Reyes, 1991 and ref. therein, confirmed by Ross, 2002).
Daily movements observed off Senegal show that humpback dolphins
move onshore with the rising tide to feed in the mangrove channels
of the Saloum Delta, returning towards the sea with the ebb tide
(Maigret, 1981 in Ross et al. 1994).
Maigret (1982, in Reyes, 1991) recorded sightings of this species
in the Banc d' Arguin (Mauritania) between May and January, with
a peak in August and September.
6. Threats
Direct catch: A few Atlantic humpback dolphins have reportedly
been taken along the range. No recent information is available,
but direct catches still may occur (Reyes, 1991; Van Waerebeek et
al., 2000).
Incidental catch: There are reports of incidental catches
in beach seines and shark nets in Senegal. Past and present levels
of these captures remain unknown (Reyes, 1991 and refs. therein).
The most recent interaction in Senegal was recorded in November
1996, when three animals were found together, each with a piece
of netting tied around the tailstock, on a beach of Sangomar Island
in the Saloum delta, probably an abandoned take. In Guinea-Bissau,
a 190-cm male was by-caught in a fishing trap at Canhabaque Island,
Bijagós in March 1989 (van Waerebeek et al. 2000 and refs.
Habitat degradation: In Senegal there has been a permanent
reduction of mangrove areas for extension of rice culture and exploitation
of forest, especially in the Fathala area. Excessive fishing of
prey species may reduce food availability and increase the risk
of incidental catch. Pollution may also be a source of habitat destruction,
since the species inhabits areas with high population growth subject
to agricultural and industrial development (Reyes, 1991 and refs.
therein). The possible fracturing of the species' habitat range,
resulting in reproductively isolated groups, due to coastal development
should be monitored (van Waerebeek et al. 2000).
7. Remarks
Range states (Reeves et al. 2008) :
Angola; Cameroon; Congo; Côte d'Ivoire; Gabon; Gambia; Guinea;
Guinea-Bissau; Liberia; Mauritania; Nigeria; Senegal; Western Sahara.
Sousa teuszii is listed in Appendix I&II of CMS. The
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) considers S. teuszii as
one of the most endangered small cetaceans world-wide (WWF, 2009).
Sousa sp. is listed in Appendix I of CITES. The species is
categorized as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN (Reeves et al.
2008). This is based on the fact that the current population size
is below 10,000 with local populations smaller than 1,000 animals.
There is an inferred or suspected continuing decline in population
size with ongoing threats (see above).
There is a need to obtain baseline abundance data and establish
seasonal patterns of distribution for S. teuszii in northwestern
Africa, as well as investigate the level of genetic interchange
among different dolphin communities. At least two boat surveys,
one each in the rainy and dry season, would need to be conducted
in the estuarine and larger creek systems, and the coastal shelf
waters of southern Senegal and The Gambia. Similar surveys of inshore
and coastal waters are needed in Dakhla Bay and other parts of the
Western Saharan and Moroccan coasts known or suspected to have humpback
dolphins (Reeves et al 2003).

Tlingit society is divided into two moieties (locally often "sides" in English), exogamous matrilineal groups. Each moiety or side is composed of about 60 matrilineal clans, and each clan is composed of a variable number of house groups in different villages. Orthogonal to this system is the ḵwáan system that divides the Tlingit nation up into geopolitical groups called ḵwáan. This document is an attempt to list all the moieties, clans, house groups, and ḵwáan, referencing both ethnological and oral history sources. Each Tlingit name is deconstructed and explained as best as possible under the circumstances, and if there are competing explanations then each claim is presented with its supporting evidence. This is not meant to be a prescriptive document, but rather a descriptive one providing what knowledge is available to as wide an audience as is possible. Tlingit readers are encouraged to consult their own elders and decide for themselves about the most 'correct' interpretations of Tlingit traditions.
This document is derived from an unpublished manuscript by Jeff Leer dated November 1985 and titled "Tlingit tribe, clan, and house group names". Leer's basis was Frederica de Laguna's table of "Tlingit Tribes and Clans" published in the Northwest Coast volume of the Handbook of North American Indians. This was based on a table originally compiled by George Emmons, as later edited and published in de Laguna's The Tlingit Indians (an adaptation of Emmons's notes and manuscripts). Jeff Leer extended this work with information from consulting Tlingit elders such as John Marks, Charlie Joseph, Angela Sidney, Walter Soboleff, and others.
I have converted and reorganized Jeff Leer's document and added to it from information I have obtained from many other sources, especially Andy Hope III's Tlingit Map and Tribal List, and Ronald L. Olson's Social structure and social life of the Tlingit in Alaska. The latter source was cited by both Hope and Leer, but there is ample evidence that neither worked from it in any great detail since Olson offers much more detail and accuracy for southern groups than is given by either Hope or Leer. In addition to such written sources, I have continued the tradition of explicitly citing oral histories from knowledgeable Tlingit elders where possible. I have also returned to Leer's written sources and have added more precise citations, extensive quotations, and further commentary on them.
Jeff Leer's original document included two notices, one that it should be considered a draft and hence not definitive, and the other that unverified names had been excluded. This document is also a draft and is expected to change over time. People citing this document should include the last modified date at the bottom in their citation. Rather than exclude unverified names, I have included them with as much detail as available so that our understanding may be expanded by further contributions.
The symbol ÿ represents the voiced velar approximant sound /ɰ/ (a.k.a. "gamma", though it is not actually /ɣ/) which is now extinct in Tlingit, but which was attested among some speakers as late as the 1980s. This sound shifted to either y or w in the speech of younger speakers, and can be generally read as equivalent to y in this document. Leer previously used ɏ or y̱ to represent this sound before switching to ÿ. Swanton recorded this sound as ỵ in his transcriptions, and various earlier sources use r, g, and Cyrillic г, among others.
Pronunciation guides are not given for Tlingit since the orthography is sufficient. Pronunciation is given for other languages, including English, between slashes /lai̯k sou̯/. These guides are always given using the International Phonetic Alphabet using symbols appropriate for the phonemes of the specific language.
Quotations from sources which provide Tlingit in various transcriptions, particularly quotations from Swanton (Sw 1908) and Olson (Ol 1967), have the same terms rendered in the modern orthography in [square brackets]. Other editorial emendations are occasionally included in the same manner.
For the use of "Wolf" versus "Eagle" for the non-Raven moiety, see the section on Wolf Clans below.
A ḵwáan is a geopolitical group in Tlingit culture. It has no exact English translation, but is often given as "tribe" or "people". Each ḵwáan is centered around a settlement or two, and is comprised of a number of clans which may also be found elsewhere, e.g. the Kiks.ádi are found in Shtax'héen Ḵwáan but also in the Sheet'ká Ḵwáan and the Saanÿaa Ḵwáan.
Membership in a ḵwáan is somewhat flexible in contrast to membership in a clan. Generally the particular ḵwáan of a Tlingit person is the ḵwáan in which that person was born, unless they have strong ties to some other ḵwáan such as if their parents only recently moved to the birthplace. Some people claim ḵwáan membership on the basis of their clan being predominantly located in a single ḵwáan, for example the Naanÿaa.aaÿí being exclusively in the Shtax'héen Ḵwáan. Traditionally, membership in a specific ḵwáan did not involve many specific rights or obligations, and instead had more to do with social relationships and familiarity with the landscape. Today the ḵwáan has become more important as it has been adapted into the modern village government and village corporation systems, and as traditional kinship and clan ties have decayed.
Ḵwáan names are subject to some regular phonological changes in Tlingit. When a compound is made of nouns all the nouns except the last will lose any high tone, and only the last noun keeps its high tone if any. Thus the words lú 'nose', tú 'inside', and x'úx' 'membrane' together form a compound lutux'úx 'nasal membrane', where both lú and tú have low tone. In addition it is common for long vowels to become short except in the last noun, so that the words tl'eiḵ 'finger' and x̱'áak 'space between things' form a compound tl'eḵx̱'áak 'space between fingers'. Both of these phenomena are found in the names of ḵwáan. The Tlingit name for the Inland Tlingit is Daḵka Ḵwáan, which is a compound of daaḵ 'inland', ká 'upon', and ḵwáan. Only the last part of this compound retains its long vowel and high tone, the word ḵwáan. Note that this is a compound despite being written with a space between the two words, since otherwise the long vowel and high tone would not be reduced.
Clans are given in the following list for convenient reference. Detailed information about each clan can be found in the section on clans below.
derived from the time of the first contact with the whites, about 1800, when the tribe was living in the winter village on Tamgas Creek (which flows out of Tamgas Lake) in Tamgas Harbor on the southern end of Anette Island.Olson then said that he did not know which etymology was correct, but noted that members refer to themselves as Taant'á Ḵwáan and not T'aang̱aash Ḵwáan. The conventional English name is "Tongass" /ˈtɑŋ.gəs/, as applied to the National Forest, though certainly it would be more accurate to call them "Tanta" /ˈtan.tə/ instead. Swanton has "Tᴀng̣āʹc qoan" (Sw 1908: 396), i.e. Tang̱aash Ḵwáan, which misses the ejective t', a typical mistake for him. He also gives "Tᴀng̣āʹc" as their settlement (Sw 1908: 397). Regarding their history, Swanton says (Sw 1908: 408):
Traditions regarding the origin of the two clans [G̱aanax̱.ádi and Teiḵweidí] point unanimously to Prince of Wales Island and Kuiu, and, if we are to trust them still further, the G̣ānᴀxᴀʹdî [G̱aanax̱.ádi] were the first people to settle at Tongas, whither they had come from Tᴀʹqdjîk-ān [T'aḵjik.aan] on the northwest coast of Prince of Wales Island, then the principal Henya village. According to another story the Tongas people came to Kuiu from the south, and afterwards started back to the present site of Tongas, which they had previously noticed. During this last migration tthey camped for a time on an island called Tᴀng̣āʹc [T'ang̱aash], and later gave its name to their village. This tradition probably refers to the G̣ānᴀxᴀʹdî [G̱aanax̱.ádi], for the Kuiu and Henya people are very closely related.Olson however has a very different recent history that is probably more reliable having come from GM who was a member of the ḵwáan (Ol 1967: 3):
Traditionally their earliest home village was in Stone Rock Bay, but possibly in Moira Sound. This is the only Tlingit tribe which was wholly displaced by the Haida. From Prince of Wales Island they moved repeatedly, to Duke, [Annette], Dundas, Cat, and other islands. Probably about 1880 they established their town on Tongass Island and so came to be called the Tongass Tribe. In 1880 they numbered only 173.Olson provides a lengthy "History of the Tantakwan [Taant'á Ḵwáan]" given by GM which is very detailed and informative (Ol 1967: 82–102). It is far too long to give here in full. As Olson points out, they seem to have originally inhabited much if not all of the area now claimed by the Kaigani Haida around the southern end of Prince of Wales Island.
The family history of [the G̱aanax̱.ádi] is certainly closely associated with the town of Tᴀʹqdjik-ān [T'aḵjik.aan] for it was there that a G̣ānᴀxᴀʹdî [G̱aanax̱.ádi] woman nursed a woodworm, thus giving her people the woodworm emblem, and, as above noted, the Takᵘaneʹdî [Taakw.aaneidí] (Winter people) are the Klawak branch of that clan.Swanton suggests that the Henya people came from Tuxekan rather than the other way around (Sw 1908: 410):
Formerly the Henya of the west coast of Prince of Wales island lived at Tuxican (Tᴀʹqdjik-ān [T'aḵjik.aan]), but later their chief moved to Klawak (Łᴀwāʹk [Lawaak]), where he owned a salmon creek, and all of his people followed.
The Raven moiety is one of the two moieties in Tlingit society. Each clan in the Raven moiety claims Raven (Yéil) as a primary crest, and Raven is featured extensively in the art of Raven clans. Note however that Raven stories are not formally owned by the Raven clans, but are instead the common property of all Tlingits. In contrast, a Raven Hat (several exist in different clans) is the specific property of a particular Raven clan, and Raven songs and names are also clan property.
This group was often spoken of as the Xashittan [Xaas.hittaan] and was probably well on the way to becoming a distinct clan; but in feasts they were spoken of as Ganaxadi [G̱aanax̱.ádi] or Ganuwutlacihittan [Ÿan Wulihashihittaan]. Traditionally they are an offshoot of [Ÿan Wuliháshi Hít]. The word Xas [xaas] is a confusing one, even to the Tlingit. It has been variously translated as "moose", "cow", and "skin".Swanton gives it as "moose" (Sw 1908: 400). It is fairly clear from ethnography of the Inland Tlingit (McC 19xx: xx) that the word xaas applied to buffalo (bison) which have been extinct for some time in the neighbouring interior country. The word seems to have been applied to domestic cattle after European contact, competing with the Chinook Jargon loanword wasóos (from CJ musmús) for the same.
It is said that the wives of some Kîksᴀʹdî [Kiks.ádi] people once quarreled, and all of one side moved out into a house made of bark, from which circumstance they came to be called Bark-house people (Tī hît tān [Teeÿhittaan]).
At Wrangell the Bark-house people are credited with but one house group, but the Tēʹnedi [Teeÿineidí] of Klawak [Lawaak] constitute part of the same clan, their name being merely a variation of Tī hît tān [Teeÿhittaan].The two clans are thus probably one and the same, but they act somewhat separately nowadays.
About the Kuỵeʹdî [Kooÿeidí] nothing of consequence was learned...The source of the form Kooÿu.eidí is not clear, but it is a plausible expansion of the form given by Swanton. Swanton lists "Xîk hît [Xík hít]" as the sole house (Sw 1908: 401), but his gloss "puffin house" implies X̱ík Hít instead, thus a typo or a mishearing of x̱ which is not uncommon for Swanton. The lack of such a house name in any other clan, and the general lack of knowledge about this clan makes it impossible to connect it with any other Tlingit groups. AH3 (2003) also lists Ḵutx̱ayanaháa Hít.
The Southern Tlingit maintain a distinction between the Wolf moiety (those clans in this section) and the Eagles, i.e. the Neix̱.ádi, who are outside both Raven and Wolf moieties and are treated separately in the next section. The Northern Tlingit, however, tend to use the term Eagle to refer to what is here termed the Wolf moiety, probably since the Neix̱.ádi were confined largely to the Southern area, and since Eagle is a common crest for clans in the Wolf moiety. Swanton notes that its use among the Northern Tlingit may be from Haida influence, "especially since the corresponding Haida phratry is likewise Eagle, and many Haida seem to have married in Sitka." (Sw 1908: 415). Whether or not the Haida parallel influenced the replacement of Wolf by Eagle among the Northern Tlingit, it is clear that there is an agreeable avian symmetry with the two as primary crests for whole moieties. Swanton cites Kadishaan as saying that the Eagle "might have been adopted by them after some trouble with the Nēxᴀʹdî [Neix̱.ádi]" which is certainly a plausible hypothesis but as Swanton says "it is by no means certain that this is the case" (Sw 1908: 415), and indeed there is no oral history which attests to such a conflict.
Swanton says "according to a Sitka interpreter, the Eagle [= Wolf] people were called Na [Naa] (nation) or Cêngoqedîʹna [Shangukeidinaa], but there was no one name for all the Ravens, they being one simply in marriage laws, emblems, and in some other respects." (Sw 1908: 407). Either Swanton or his interpreter must be confused since the name Laaÿineidí is clearly a term for the entire Raven side, and the word naa can be applied to any clan or a non-Tlingit nation. In a footnote Swanton adds "This is evidently taken from the name of a clan which the writer has elsewhere called Cᴀnkukeʹdi [Shangukeidí]. The reason for applying this name to the entire phratry is not apparent. Possibly the interpreter was mistaken." (Sw 1908: 407). Certainly some others have used Shangukeidí as a cover term for all Wolf clans, although it is also clear that this is not a widespread usage. Note also that the Wanwaasháa, who are also connected with Eagle according to deL, can be used as a general term for women of Wolf clans.
Swanton cites "Katishan [Kadishaan], chief of the Kāsq!agueʹdî [Kaasx̱'agweidí] at Wrangell" as saying that "all of the Wolf clans used to be denominated S!īʹtqoedî [S'eetḵweidí] (not to be confused with the S!īt!qoeʹdî [S'eet'ḵweidí] of Sumdum) and all of the Raven clans G̣onᴀtqᴀnāʹỵî [G̱uneitkanaaÿí], the latter of which expressions seems to be identical with the word applied by an individual to those of the opposite phratry." (Sw 1908: 407). Indeed, the term g̱uneitkanaaÿí simply means 'opposite clan from one's own' (from g̱una-.át-ká-naa-ÿí 'other-thing-atop-clan-poss.'), often translated into English as just "opposites". This use of S'eetḵweidí is not documented from anyone else, and hence does not seem to be in use.
G̱ooch.ádi 'Wolf People' is a less ambiguous and reasonable possibility for naming the entire moiety, but this is not traditional. Ch'aak'.ádi 'Eagle people' would tend to imply the Neix̱.ádi (see below) and not the Wolf side, similar to how Xixch'.ádi is used sometimes for the Kiks.ádi as described above.
Kats [Kaats'] was the man who married a bear. A bear was carved on the planks or post over the door and a carved bear was placed at each end of the smoke hole. These last were called Gankȧhuttsi [ganká xóodzi] (smoke hole bears) and were a special property of this house.
This house derived from Katshit [Kaats' Hít]. Its special possession was kuwixu′tsih [?? xóodzi] (under-water bear), a mythical creature like a bear, but with two fins like killer whale dorsal fins.The actual Tlingit word indicated by Olson's kuwi is not clear, though xóots means 'brown bear'.
wā′ndᴀ house, wā′ndᴀ being the name of an ornamental cloak worn at dances. It was trimmed with eagle skins along the sidesThe word wán means 'outer edge', and daa is 'around', so this name apparently refers to the eagle skin trimming around the edge of the cloak.
They are sometimes equated with the Tłax̣ayɩk-Teqwedi [Laax̱aaÿík Teiḵweidí], or even with the G̣ałyɩx̣-Kagwantan [G̱alyáx̱ Kaagwaantaan], although one person said that the latter "just called themselves Ł'ux̣̓edi".This group is said to have originally been Eyak and to have been the original owners of Yakutat (deL 1972: 221). Swanton (Sw 1909: 352, 355–356; deL 1972: 221) however has the "ʟ!uq!oeʹdî [L'ux̱'eidí]" along with the "Kos!ēdî [Ḵoosk'eidí]" as being Athabaskans who migrated to Yakutat and then left again (?) after they sold Kwáashk'.
K!enta′n (probably Klentan [Tleintaan], big house people) known as Wuckitan [Wooshkeetaan] at Angoon.Olson does not however give a house called Hít Tlein in Áak'w Ḵwáan.

The books are pretty but I had to giggle at the one title: "Parent Effectiveness Training." :-)

Ah, ONE DAY, when I actually have enough book shelves to put them on I fantasise about displaying my books this way!!. I think though that my largest colour grouping will "multi"!

I sorted my books by color, but I have so many contemporary paperback books and so few old hardbound books that it looks rather messy. :(

This is one of those places when the bibliophile and the designer in me collide.
One side screams, "WHAT? File them by COLOR? Are you MAD? How on earth am I supposed to find ANYthing that way? Fer Chrissakes, I thought you loved ideas and words, how shallow can you get?!"
The other side screams, "Books are a nightmare! They take up entire huge tracts of solid real estate and distract the eye with too much pattern and detail! How can you POSSIBLY have a serene, calm, and design-sensitive space when you have too many BOOKS in the joint, be REASONABLE!"
I have to admit, the bibliophile usually wins.

Sometimes I don't know how to order my books. If besides I have to do by color... I'll go crazy! But it's a nice idea :)
