Happy Spring! Ha, that's a joke, you would never know
it was spring out there. Oh well, what a weekend.
Between the close basketball game on Friday and the biggest Irish
celebration of the year, I am exhausted. Did you watch
the game? It was very intense. I thought we were going
to win. Even though we did not, we played an
outstanding game and I am very proud of the team. The
loss did not stop any one of us from celebrating St.
Patrick's Day, however. I went to my friend Jeff's
house for a party. Everyone wore green. It was a great
my mom came down and took me out to Crossgates. I must
say it's a wonderful convenience to have such a large
shopping mall minutes from my "second home". We had
dinner at the Bugaboo Creek, did some shopping, and
went to see the movie, Failure to
Launch. I would
suggest seeing it if you are in the mood to go to the
movies. Beware though fellas, it is a chick flick. It
was good to see my mom. Even though UAlbany is close
to home for me, I do not get to see her very often so
it was nice to spend some quality mother-daughter time
with her.
Now it is time to start another week. Just three more
until Spring Break!!
March 8, 2006
Hello again! How was
everyone's weekend? I had a great weekend back after
break. Friday night I had a friend come out and visit.
We had a lot of fun. Then Saturday I went to SUNY
Oswego with Lia to visit two of our friends. It is
very cold and very windy out there. I'm so grateful
that our school isn't located in the middle of
nowhere. But nonetheless we had a really good time and
it was nice to get off of campus for a night.
This week I received an email from my academic advisor
saying that it was time to make a meeting with her to
plan my classes for next semester. I couldn't believe
it, this semester is flying by. I'm excited though
because I'll be able to take more classes next year
that pertain to my interests, rather than gen. eds.
Also, yesterday two of my friends from home came to
visit the school, they're thinking about transferring.
It was so good to see them. I tried to encourage them
to transfer next year and I think they're going to.
They want to save money by going to a state school and
also they really like the campus and how it was so
big. The best part about their visit was that when we
went to dinner there was a chocolate fountain at the
dining hall so I think that won them over.
Last night my roommates and I went to an information
meeting about housing next year. We actually only went
because they were giving away really low lottery
numbers for sign up, but it ended up being pretty
informative. Unfortunately we didn't win the number,
but we did learn a few things. We'd really like to
live on Dutch Quad next year, but since there are so
many students, there's no guarantee. So we'll have to
wait and see.
Other than that there isn't much else going on. I have
a few tests this week but nothing too bad. Also, I'm
so happy that I can almost feel Spring in the air,
before you know it, we'll be walking around in
T-shirts and shorts!

St. Thomas was
beautiful! We had such a fun time. Lia's mom and
stepfather were a lot of fun and very hospitable. We
went to the beach every day. We went snorkeling,
shopping, and we even rented a boat. It was a small
boat, only 18 feet, so we were flying all over the
Caribbean Sea, but it was one of my favorite parts of
the vacation. The water was so clear and blue. I never
wanted to leave. It really was
like paradise. I got a
little sunburn but it's hard to avoid down there, the
sun is so strong and hot. It's a small price to pay
for a week of lounging around in beautiful weather. We
didn't have one day without the sun. The week went by
so fast though, and before I knew it I was on the
plane back to cold Albany.
I came home late Wednesday night because Thursday
night my boyfriend and I went to Binghamton to see
George Carlin. If you don't know who he is, he's a
very famous comedian. He's getting old now, somewhere
in his late 60s, but he's still hilarious. The rest of
my vacation I just relaxed and hung out with my family
and some friends from home.
And now it's Monday.
Mondays are horrible as it is, but the Monday after a
week vacation is even worse. It's hard getting back
into the routine of classes and work study and doing
homework. It was nice to see everyone though, and
everyone was jealous of my tan!
February 13, 2006
STRESS with a capital "S" this week! It's the week before February recess, so I'm slammed with tests and projects. To top it all off, I'm leaving for vacation on Thursday, missing two days of classes, so I have to make up all of that work before I leave! I've got three tests, and a Spanish Oral Presentation to get through. A few college words of wisdom for you, all of your teachers will give you tests the week before a vacation, and it's inevitable, so start preparing ahead of time! Most of my teachers have been really understanding about the fact that I bought a plane ticket ahead of time and have worked with me to reschedule my tests. I'm taking them all before I leave so that way I don't have to worry about a thing while I'm lounging on the beach.
Not only do I have all of this school work to take care of, but my laundry basket is over flowing (I included the picture as proof), and I've yet to start packing. Talk about procrastination! But it's all worth it, I'm going to St. Thomas (in the US Virgin Islands) for an entire week. Lia, one of my friends who lives in the same building as me, is taking me and my roommate down there. Her mother lives there so we have a free place to stay and everything, I can't wait! I'm so happy that I've made such great friends here. We're going to have so much fun down there and don't worry, I'll give you all the details!

Looking for some more American religions for your weekend? Then, I suggest that y'all check out New Books in Religion recent podcast with blog contributor Katie Lofton on her recent book, Oprah: Gospel of an Icon (University of California Press, 2011), and her curation with John Modern of freq.uenci.es.
Here's the teaser:
Oprah has been providing the path to achieve this (Aha!) moment for decades now through the rituals of contemporary consumer culture and spirituality that enable individuals to live their best life.Kathryn Lofton, Professor of Religion at Yale University, cleverly unravels Oprah's story within the broader context of American religiosity and the academic study of religion in her book Oprah: The Gospel of an Icon (University of California Press, 2011). In this excellent work, Lofton contends that modern religion is not something distinct that we can analyze but should be conceived of as the interaction of various modalities, which are often bracketed off as "Spirituality," "Commodity," and "Corporatism." In our interview we explore various topics, weaving in and out of the content of the book, covering politics, public policy, ritual, capitalism, 9/11, among many others. We also had time to discuss freq.uenci.es, a co-curated project funded by the Social Science Research Council, as well as the various reactions to the project from critics on The Immanent Frame. Lofton was a delight to talk to as you can tell from her engaging presence but for those who have not yet read the book be reassured that her personality and sharp insight shines throughout the text.

Christopher Abbott, M.D, M.S., will be the principal investigator on a three-year $200,000 grant from the Dana Foundation as part of The David Mahoney Neuroimaging Program.
Dr. Abbott proposes to answer this question: Can imaging reveal how ECT improves major depression and identify those at risk for relapse?
The study will employ resting state fMRI to determine how electroconvulsive therapy exerts a therapeutic effect in patients with major depressive disorder, and to identify biomarkers that predict which patients are likely to relapse following ECT treatment.
According to Dr. Abbott, major depressive disorder (MDD) tends to be resistant to current therapies. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) can be effective for patients with this form of depression. The success rate is impressive. About 75 percent of patients improve, and the improvements can be striking: during a three to four week course of ECT treatment, most depressive episodes will remit and previously suicidal or psychotically depressed patients will completely recover. But, about 40 percent of patients then relapse within two months.
His study is designed to answer two questions to improve outcomes: 1) How does ECT therapy work - how does it change brain function during therapy? Learning this could lead to improvements in ECT, also in the non-invasive treatment called "transcranial magnetic stimulation" (in which a magnet is placed over the patient's head to alter electrical activity) and in drug treatments.
2) Are there biomarkers that can identify those patients who are at risk of relapse following ECT therapy, so that more aggressive therapy can be provided following ECT treatment to prevent relapse?
Researchers hypothesize that successful ECT response is associated with normalizing brain activity within and between an overactive limbic/paralimbic network and that sustained ECT response may be contingent upon diminishing signaling between the paralimbic and cortical brain networks. They will test this by comparing resting state fMRI in 20 healthy volunteers and 20 patients with MDD. Resting state fMRI identifies regional network connectivity that occurs in the absence of performing a specific task. Volunteers will be imaged to establish "healthy" resting state network activity levels. Patients' clinical state and brain imaging will be assessed prior to and after ECT treatment. Investigators will determine whether patients' post-treatment images more closely resemble those of the healthy volunteers, whether the changes in network activity correlate with their clinical outcomes, and what changes in the network are associated with improved outcomes. Patients will be imaged again at the time of relapse or after three months with no relapse, to identify potential biomarkers that differentiate those who relapse from those who do not.
Significance: The study findings may lead to a better understanding of processes involved in MDD and lead to improved treatment and relapse prevention in at-risk patients.

England have got a reasonably good chance at Euro 2012 but a lot will depend on how they play when they meet the big teams. They are probably going to have to beat two of the big four – Spain, Italy, Germany and France – if they are going to win the tournament and whether they can do this is going to depend more on whether they can muster the attacking creativity necessary that whether they are strong enough defensively. As a nation, our mind set in football has always been based more around defence and our national team is certainly better at keeping the opposition out than breaking the opposition down, which is why the appointment of an Italian as our head coach seemed rather strange. We can do the defending, it's the attacking we need to work on. A Brazilian may well have made more sense, though in typical English fashion the FA will no doubt revert to an English manager following Capello's reign with Harry Redknapp looking the most likely contender.

England's Chances At Euro 2012October 24th, 2011
Betting On The PremiershipOctober 23rd, 2011
Sunderland play host to Aston Villa in a fortnight's time in what promises to be a fascinating encounter. Steve Bruce's men have suffered from the loss of Asamoah Gyan and Danny Wellbeck in the summer meaning that they are lacking comparable striking options to this time last season. They have had a shaky start to this year's campaign because they have not been able to score enough goals and I would consequently expect their home advantage to be of little significance in this game. Alex McLeish has replaced the departing Ashley Young with Charles N'Zogbia and the young Frenchman has settled in well so far at Villa Park. Darren Bent has also been in fine goal-scoring and it might be a question of how many they get against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light as they have been tearing teams apart recently. Stilian Petrov's passing has improved even further in his twilight years while the arrival of Shay Given from Manchester City to keep net for them was an inspired signing. I would expect Aston Villa to win this encounter comfortably. Read the rest of this entry »
Who I Think Is Going To Win Euro 2012October 17th, 2011
If you are thinking of betting on who is going to win Euro 2012, then take my advice and put your money on Spain. Just look at their team: the strikers that they possess are beyond belief, I mean really, just look at their front three: the combination of Fernando Torres, David Villa and Pedro is enough to tear apart any defence in Europe and the fact that they can be sure of such a steady supply of chances from midfield due to the presence of Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Xabi Alonso and Mata means that it seems highly unlikely any other nation in the tournament will be able to contain them over ninety minutes.

Tottenham Hotspur's Chances In The Premiership This SeasonOctober 17th, 2011
The fact that Tottenham were playing in the Champions League last year due to the fact that they finished fourth in the league the year before that actually led to their league position suffering and they consequently didn't qualify for this year's Champions League. That means that I would imagine they will nick the fourth placed spot this season due to the fact that Arsenal will be competing in this year's tournament and so will have to divide their attention between their European and domestic campaigns. Also, Arsenal have had their midfield decimated by the departures of their captain – Cesc Fabregas – and their most creative player last season – Samir Nasri – while Spurs were able to hold on to Luka Modric despite a summer of Chelsea attempting to lure him away with the promise of Champions League football and big wages. Read the rest of this entry »
Manchester City's Chances In The Premiership This SeasonOctober 17th, 2011
Roberto Mancini inherited a squad of ludicrously talent players when he arrived in January last season and has added to said squad expertly by investing Sheikh Monsoor's cash billions incredibly wisely. Sergio Aguero has been a revelation since his arrival from Atletico Madrid in the transfer window with nine goals and four assists already this season, while the signing of Samir Nasri means that City are less reliant on the creativity of David Silva in midfield. Gael Clichy is also a quality left back while Owen Hargreaves' arrival means that City have even more cover in defensive midfield. Dzeko has also been banging in the goals, meaning that Tevez's recent tantrum in Munich and consequent suspension is no real cause for concern despite him being top scorer and captain last season. Read the rest of this entry »
Arsenal's Chances In The Premiership This SeasonOctober 17th, 2011
In January last season Arsenal were still challenging for all four major trophies yet ended the season empty handed. This consequently led to the departures of Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy in the summer and Wenger's men have not looked the same since losing their captain, their most creative player and their left back in the transfer window. Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun were signed to replace Fabregas and Nasri but do have the same level of quality, while Sagna is now playing left back despite being right footed due to the fact that Kieron Gibbs is currently injured. Arsenal have also signed Mertersacker and Gervinho in the close season but it is going to take some time for this new look Arsenal side to gel and I would imagine that this will happen too late in the season for them to be able to challenge for the league crown. Jack Wilshere's ankle injury has not helped, nor has the Arsenal fans' disgruntlement following some poor results at the start of the season. They have already lost three games – including an 8-2 mauling against Manchester United at Old Trafford – and I would be surprised if they are able to finish above fourth this year. Read the rest of this entry »
Chelsea's Chances In The Premiership This SeasonOctober 17th, 2011
Chelsea finished as runners up in last year's Premiership, but I would be surprised if they were able to match this achievement again this season due to the fact that Manchester City have come on leaps and bounds since. Villas-Boas is clearly a supremely gifted manager but it is going to take a while before he can get his new group of players used to working together in the specific style that he demands. That said, they have such quality all over the pitch that they can still beat any team in the league on their day. At the back, John Terry is still showing the kind of form that merits inclusion in the starting eleven week in week out despite the fact that he is starting to get quite old, while Villas-Boas can choose between Alex, Ivanovic and Luiz as his partner at centre back. All three players have serious quality going forward as well as defending – Alex takes a mean free-kick, Luiz has already scored twice this season and Ivanovic is always a danger in the air from set-pieces – while Ashley Cole is still the best left-back in the world despite his pace fading over the last few seasons.

Betting On The Premier League This SeasonOctober 14th, 2011
If you are attempting to choose who to bet on as the winners of this year's Premier League, then I really wouldn't bother looking much further than the two teams from Manchester. Manchester United have started the season as though they have a firecracker up their collective ass while Roberto Mancini has invested Sheikh Monsoor's cash more than wisely.

Eight Family Tree Tips to Take Away From "Genealogy Roadshow"
Posted by
Genealogy television shows like TLC's "
Who Do You Think You Are?
" and PBS' "
Genealogy Roadshow
" are meant to entertain us, but that doesn't mean we can't learn a thing or two from them.
In fact, our Tuesday, Nov. 12 webinar,
10 Essential Research Tricks from "Genealogy Roadshow,"
is full of such lessons from co-host
D. Joshua Taylor
Here are my own favorite takeaway family tree research tips from "Genealogy Roadshow":
Don't believe everything your family told you about your ancestors.
Whether it's the year Great-grandpa arrived in the United States or a rumored link to George Washington, treat family stories as theories that require research to prove or disprove.
You can't get away from the "start with yourself and work backward" principle.
No matter what family claim the "Genealogy Roadshow" experts were researching, the research started with the present and moved to the person's parents, then grandparents, etc. You didn't get details about every generation in the show's quick segments (remember the entertainment factor), but those generations were listed in the trees that flashed by.
You're related to lots of people.
Among them is probably someone famous and someone infamous (remember this next time one of those announcements comes out about which celebrities are related—it's really not anything unusual). The way to document a connection between two people is to research both family trees as you normally would, and find a person common to both trees.
Build on others' work.
"Genealogy Roadshow" sometimes used already-existing, reliable research about famous folks. Don't be afraid to look for clues in published family histories and family trees you find online—just make sure you do research to verify all the names, dates and relationships in those resources, so you don't end up repeating someone else's mistakes and claiming the wrong ancestors.
Same-named people are everywhere!
And they're the cause of many erroneously linked family trees. I've experienced the excitement of finding a record for someone with the right name, birth date and place of residence—followed by the disappointment when I realize it's not my family member.
Use other details about your family to determine whether a record is for the right person—here's an example of how this can work
Ancestors who did bad things are especially interesting to trace
, and left sources including court records, newspapers and prison registers.
I blogged a little about this last week
Once you get beyond your garden-variety first or second cousin, figuring out exactly how you're related to someone can seem complicated
. The trick is to find the most recent common ancestor to the two cousins in question. If there's a different number of generations between each cousin and the most recent common ancestor, the cousins are "removed." The number of removes is equal to the number of generations that separates the two cousins. We
explain cousin relationships here
and have a
free relationship chart PDF download here
Sometimes genealogical discoveries come quickly, and sometimes it takes a lot of research to find answers
. The show's hosts often used the word "we" when talking about records discovered. Behind the scenes, full-time, professional researchers were devoting hours upon hours to tracing guests' family trees. You might not be able to devote that much time at once to your research, but keep plugging away a little bit at a time. And keep track of what you've done so next time you can pick up where you left off.

FamilySearch Partners With Findmypast.com Owner D.C. Thomson
Posted by Tyler
is forming yet another
partnership with a commercial genealogy company
—this time, with
DC Thomson
, formerly called Brightsolid, owner of the
subscription website.
DC Thomson will "deliver a wide range of projects including digital preservation, records search, technological development and the means to allow family historians to share their discoveries." No additional specifics are being offered about the projects.
DC Thomson, in turn, received access to more than 13 million records from FamilySearch.org, including major collections of births, marriages and deaths covering America, Australia and Ireland. Those records have already launched on findmypast.com. About 600 additional collections containing millions of records will follow. Those records will continue to be accessible free at FamilySearch.org.
The organizations have previously collaborated on digitization and indexing projects including the 1940 census and British army service records.
I wonder how these partnership agreements affect each other. Is FamilySearch trying not to play favorites, or does it have fingers in too many pies? For example, can the records digitized and indexed as a result of
Ancestry.com's $60 million investment with FamilySearch
then be shared with Ancestry.com's competitor MyHeritage.com (which has
agreed to give FamilySearch its Smart Matching and Record Matching technologies
) and/or with DC Thomson (in exchange for the unspecified projects)?
As has become FamilySearch's practice with such announcements,
the organization has posted an FAQ here
. (Question #2 makes it sound a little like findmypast records are launching on FamilySearch, which is the opposite of what's happening.)

Genealogy Clues Your Ancestor Was a Black Sheep
Posted by
One of the folks on this week's "
Genealogy Roadshow
"—the last one of the season, filmed in Austin, Texas—had a Civil War ancestor who, perhaps suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, shot and killed his wife years after the war. A very sad story.
Such family tree discoveries can be unsettling, even when family rumors hint that something bad happened (as they did for this Genealogy Roadshow guest). On the other hand, genealogists often relish having ancestors who committed less heinous crimes—maybe horse thievery or bootlegging—because that means records to discover.
"Black sheep" are more common than you might think: Investigating our family stories of my great-grandfather's time in prison for bootlegging led me to the
unexpected discovery that his wife had filed for divorce and claimed cruel treatment
(the case was dismissed).
On the other side of the family, I was completely surprised to discover that my third-great-grandparents were
divorced in a sensational case
, and a few years later, my third-great-grandfather was stabbed in a knife fight over a woman he'd become obsessed with (I still need to blog about this).
Here are a few clues that you may have a black sheep ancestor on your hands:
Family stories. They aren't always true, as we've seen on "Genealogy Roadshow," but there's often a grain of truth behind the stories.
An unexplained disappearance from the family. It could indicate an unrecorded death or migration for work, or it could mean the person deserted the family.
Your ancestor is listed in prison on a census. You'll usually see the institution listed at the top of the form, and he may be listed as an "inmate" or a "prisoner." (Not all inmates were in prisons, though: In 1920, my bootlegger's son was an "inmate" in an orphanage. It was just a term for someone who lived in an institution.)
If you know or suspect your ancestor was imprisoned, you can find some records or indexes online. For federal institutions, check the
National Archives' Online Public Access search
. For state prisons, check the state archives' website. Also look for prison records you can borrow on microfilm through interlibrary loan.
You find newspaper articles about a divorce filing, desertion (wives would sometimes post newspaper ads for missing husbands), arrest, or a court action. I've been unable to find the court records for my great-grandfather's bootlegging trial, so
newspaper mentions of it
are all I have (so far).
You find court records. When I was checking a court index in search of the bootlegging case, I came across an entry showing my great-grandparents as plaintiff and defendant: their divorce case.
Research Strategies: Criminal Records download
helps you track down court, prison and other records of ancestors who strayed to the wrong side of the law.
Using Criminal Court Records on-demand webinar
with Judy G. Russell delves even deeper into the trial process, what court records it might have generated about your ancestor, and how to find those records.

Genealogy Roadshow

in which MyHeritage will provide its
Smart Matching
Record Matching
technologies to FamilySearch, and FamilySearch will share 2 billion
records from all over the world
family tree profiles
with MyHeritage.
By the end of this year, FamilySearch records—including vital records, censuses and more—and family tree profiles will become part of the
on MyHeritage, and will be matched with MyHeritage members' family trees.
Some of the content will be available free to MyHeritage basic members, and some will require a MyHeritage.com data subscription to view. FamilySearch's volunteer-indexed records will continue to be available free through FamilySearch.org,
according to a FamilySearch FAQ
When MyHeritage.com technologies are implemented on FamilySearch.org sometime in 2014, SmartMatching will automatically find connections between FamilySearch user-contributed family trees and MyHeritage family trees, and Record Matching will find historical records relevant to people in FamilySearch family trees.
MyHeritage members who don't want their family trees Smart Matched with FamilySearch family trees can use the settings under "My Privacy" to turn off Smart Matching with other MyHeritage websites and partners (

In Which I Do Some Genealogical Decorating With Pretty (Easy) Family Tree Charts
Posted by
I promised our
Genealogy Insider email newsletter
readers that I'd show the framed family tree charts I put in my children's rooms.
You can
get these charts as type-in downloads or as blank paper versions at ShopFamilyTree.com
. You also can
win a framed one
—more on this below.
Leo's tree is the 8x10-inch
Watercolor design
Why not hammer in the picture nail with what your two-year-old has immediately at hand?
For Norah's tree, I used the
Floral design
, also the 8x10-inch size.
Until Daddy takes care of the picture ledge item on his honey-do list, its home is on Norah's dresser (next to her hairbow frame, inspired by
something I saw on Pinterest
. Yes, I actually completed a project I pinned).
These obviously aren't my research charts or a complete record of all of the kids' known ancestors. Nope. Instead, they're a beautiful way to display the names of my children's parents, grandparents and great-grandparents.
Because these trees are in children's rooms, I chose frames in kid colors. (I printed copies for their baby books, too.)
You also could use a more-versatile gold-tone frame, like
our giveaway family tree
. I think these decorative family trees would make lovely gifts for the holidays, a baby shower or a wedding.
Three family tree chart designs are available in ShopFamilyTree.com—the
trees I used, and this
Vintage tree
The family tree charts are available two ways
in ShopFamilyTree.com
a downloadable PDF, which includes three sizes—8x10, 11x14 and 16x20. You can type names right into the spaces on the PDF file and print it on your printer (what I did), or take the file to an office store to be printed.
a printed chart. You get an 11x14-inch blank chart that you fill out by hand (trace lightly with pencil first, or type names on your computer and print them onto clear labels). It looks like this option might be temporarily out of stock, though.
Here's how you can win the 11x14-inch Watercolor family tree chart, printed with your family names and framed:

'My watch over WTC dead changed me'
Young women - unusually - took part in a Jewish ritual to watch over the World Trade Center dead in New York, as Jessica Russak told in our Real Time series. Here, a year on, she reflects on the experience.
The vigil ended in mid-May, a decision taken by the rabbis who first started the watch. That was a really hard day. It was then that we realised it had actually ended, or maybe that we had spent all this time watching over so many dead.
Unlike those who died in the 11 September attacks, they had their whole bodies and knew they were going to die. After 24 hours of shmira, they were buried and their souls went straight to heaven - no delays.
The night this boy died, his friends came in to sit this vigil and recite psalms, just as we had at the New York City morgue. The day after the funeral, I spoke at his school and realised that the times are so strange. Here we are, young people, sharing stories about sitting vigil for the dead.
I saw a couple of them recently - they recognised my face but couldn't place who I was. I smiled and left. They looked relaxed and happy, I didn't want to remind them where they'd last seen me.
It just shocks me that this is the second Hanukkah since the attacks. Soon it will be three and then four and then five.
New light
Now I've graduated, and I'm getting married to a guy who I started dating around the same time I started the vigil.
It stays with me. Even if I had only done it for one day, it would stay with me. But it always feels good because when you comfort someone's soul, they are grateful eternally - multiply that by 3,000.
This festive season we are getting updates from those who told their stories in our Real Time series. See the links on right for others' stories.

This 'Gem of the Tennessee Hills' is now our favorite B&B! Simple. Owners and Innkeepers Fred & Mary Jane made us feel at home. Thistletop - Imagined and constructed by master architect and builder Braxton Dixon (Google him and be impressed) is a special treat. Every timber, every door, every stained glass window - even the stone walls... recovered from another time and place - is reused here in an almost musical harmony of architectural balance. Our room was the Dauphine. Views from every picture window, and both a north and south facing balcony flow to tree laden grounds as birds sing and glide from tree to tree. Fred does the cooking and your breakfast is perfection and will reflect your tastes, or his, just ask him for what you want. He'll make it happen. Ours was a 40th anniversary, 5-day stay with day-trips to Nashville and surround areas. Never more convenient - but far enough away to really know we were in the countryside. Special occasion celebration is perfect at the Thistletop and Mary Jane and Fred accommodated all the little surprises I had planned for my bride.. Mary Jane made a beautiful dozen-rose bouquet for our special day and Fred prepared his signature Chocolate Covered Strawberries and added my selection of a perfect sparkling wine. We found this awaiting our morning - just outside the Dauphine Suite door! But there's more - Game Room, Fireplaces, Heated Spa, reading areas, books, movies, TV's, bar (BYOB) and if you love to listen to or make music yourself, Fred and Mary Jane will be sure you're at home as well - hey music is what built Nashville and these two are music lovers. They also appreciate good food and entertainment and can point you in all the right directions to enjoy the out of this world culinary spots - and music venues in Nashville. We'd like to keep Thistletop a secret.., but that's not likely. Go for yourself, see Music City, but take time as well... to relax and reconnect with nature, and yourself -- at Thistletop.

This was my husband and my first time ever going to a B&B and it was amazing. Mary Jane and Fred made us feel right at home. The scenery was beautiful, the rooms were clean and extremely cozy and comfortable. And the food was beyond delicious. We were truly just able to relax and forget about everything else going on in life. It is a little piece of heaven on earth. We left feeling refreshed and renewed. We def will be coming back here again soon. Thanks so much Mary Jane and Fred

This B & B has a rustic country appearance. I am so glad I found this place! They welcomed us as if we were their own family. All the reviews and pictures I have found on Tripadvisor and another website were positive and exactly true! I surprised my husband and decided to take him on our first alone trip (no kids) to celebrate our 10 yr anniversary. We enjoyed the fabulous hospitality of Mary Jane and Fred the whole weekend. They were so helpful giving us tips and suggestions for things to do. Fred's cooking was beyond delicious. Love love love BOTH their personalities and there 2 dogs. We will come back! Nashville was fifteen mins away and we also checked out other towns in the area.

We just finished a beautiful weekend here celebrating my mom's wedding with Mary Jane and Fred. They were incredibly accomadating and so sweet to calm her down before the ceremony. We had 15 guests in one of the common rooms, and she and my sister and I stayed in the upstairs suite the night before the wedding. Both spaces were immaculate and tastefully decorated. Fred is an excellant cook, and breakfast was so pleasant. Best of all were all of the "extras" in the room--eye masks, robes, snacks, toilettries, a kitchenette--far above what I expect from a B&B. Thank you all for the excellent service and beautiful accomadations!

My wife and I stayed with Fred and Mary Jane in November 2010 for our 15 year anniversary trip. The home is beautiful and the setting picturesque. But the real winner is the warm hospitality from the owners. We have stayed friends through social media and we hope to return at some point. And bonus - Fred's a great cook!

Fred and Mary Jane have really created a beautiful experience for their guests. We stayed for 3 nights and it hurt to be leaving! Our favorite part of the trip was hanging out in the kitchen with them while Fred cooked breakfast. They were entertaining, hospitable and fun! When we arrived there were fresh flowers in our room, a pitcher of water and the most gorgeous bed... and for me.. when staying in a hotel or inn.. its all about the bed! I have been telling people to visit Thistletop Inn since we left!

Well, we just came home from our anniversary trip to Nashville. Staying at Thistle Top Inn was our best choice of the entire trip. It was wonderful. . Fred and MaryJane made us feel like we have known them for years. Our room was incredibly beautiful and sooooo clean. I slept so good in our wonderful bed. The house is amazing. Everywhere I looked I saw something amazing. Made me come home and want to redecorate my house! I definitely would recommend this B&B to anyone. You will not be disappointed. We will be back!

We just returned from our relaxing stay at Thistletop. It was our first experience staying in a B&B and I will say that it will be hard to beat this one. Fred and Mary Jane were such gracious hosts and a blast to hang out with. Their home is inviting and fun. And the suite where we stayed was spectacular. Fred fed us so well every morning. We requested a dinner be prepared for our first night stay and I have to say it was the best meal we have had in a long time. Thanks Fred! We will definitely be coming back to visit, hopefully soon. We felt at home there

We visited with Fred and Mary Jane at Christmas time 2010 and were thrilled with our stay. Fred is a great cook - Mary Jane is a world-class decorator and hostess. Can't say enough nice things about this place. It's worth the drive to Goodlettsville (Nashville's just 15 minutes down the Interstate) to stay with the Peaces. The house's design is unique. The downstairs den is comfortable...especially during the winter when its two-sided fireplace keeps you toasty warm. For us and our family it's TWO big thumbs up for Thistletop Inn. - Bob and Paula Howell

I stayed at Thistletop Inn for a bowl came last December. Mary Jane and Fred were so nice we came back for our summer vacation. If you are looking for a great way to see Nashville and RELAX this is the place! We are going to make this a tradition! Thank you for an unforgetable week...and the breakfast is wonderful!

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon : Futur Soldier
It's been a while that there wasn't any new Ghost Recon .

Providing yet another new direction in the Ghost Recon series of military games, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier promises to go beyond the core Ghost Recon franchise and deliver a fresh gameplay experience. The game features cutting-edge technology, prototype high-tech weaponry, and state-of-the-art single-player and multiplayer modes.

Release Date: Q3 2010
Need a movie now

It's good, but I reckon it's derailing the original Ghost Recon niche if you will. It's now becoming more like MW2, and while I see it's still retaining the tactical side of things, it's becoming the new Rainbow Six. I'd rather the good waiting and scanning rather than having cloaking and new stuff; going back to when it was just you, your weapon and your squad, without having tech to back you up and having to be sneaky.

Looks nice and shiney and all but I for one think they've maybe stepped a little too far into the future with this one.
It dosnt really look/feel believable anymore, kinda hard to describe what I mean but basicly the old games (as in before graw) had you play as an elite highly trained special forces unit with just the basics in equipment to get the job done but now it seems you can just overcome any problem on the battlefield with some fancy toys and hightech gadgets.

Actually things like that is already being developed now so it isn't too unrealistic, google Future Force Warrior and Cloaking device, if this is set in like 2015 or something like that then it makes sense that they would have stuff like that. Anyway I cannot wait for this game, just the trailer makes my shooter happy hands shake and tremble in excitement.

Being developed and actually being issued are two massively different outsomes.
If you look at the future fighting segments that popped up on the graw 1 disc all those years ago showing all the fancy gizmo's that soldiers where ment to be using in the near future you'll notice that practically none of it has made it past planning.
They should just stick to the present day. =/

Yup, I think they went a bit too far into the future. Methinks Ubisoft is trying to bridge the gap between GRAW2 and EndWar (which are technically part of the same universe, just like HAWX is supposed to intersect with GRAW) and is making a hodgepodge of features gleaned from GRAW, Frontlines: Fuel of War (UGVs, though already used in GRAW), Splinter Cell:CT multiplayer (cloak mode), Crysis (cloak mode) and a few other games. I'm probably exaggerating but I'd have preferred GR to stick with current tech and surroundings. I'm sure there are already some people out there protesting about borrowing settings and elements from MW2 (Ultranationalists)...sigh.
As for GR getting ahead of itself with real-life military equipment...I'm afraid the trend already goes back to GR2. The Objective Force Warrior, XM29 and XM8 never reached production; the Land Warrior was actually fielded in Iraq but funding was cut several months later and the tech was swallowed up by the Future Force Warrior (which IMHO is a downgraded Objective Force Warrior). The MR-C doesn't even exist aside from mock-ups and CG models by Crye Associates.
Anyway, Ubisoft has already made strong departures and abrupt developments within the Tom Clancy universe beginning with Splinter Cell (with the Double Agents events), with the purpose of boosting sales and - according to their own words - "promoting (lacking) character development", so I'm not really surprised GR got the same treatment.
We can only hope that the storyline will be good enough to compensate for the sudden quantum leap in tech context/gameplay.

I've always liked the Ghost Recon games and I've been wanting this one for some time but now I've found the best reason to get this over alot of other games and probably what I'll consider it's best feature, GUNSMITH!
Simply awesome!

I've been playing the closed MP beta today and I've mixed feelings on it...
My main gripes are that the maps are far too small (like call of duty small) and its very much fast paced run and gun which is really the opposite of what ghost recon is meant to be about.
Aside from that theres the usual bugs and glitches present in most beta's and some atrocious hit registration.
That said the weapon customization is pretty cool and the animations and player movement is pretty fluid.

Conflict mode itself reminds me of the later Killzones (2 and 3) in terms of layering objectives overtop of the basic team battle formula - and making them worth more than the kills. This is a Good Thing.
Note too that lone wolves don't just put themselves in harm's way - just like in Brink, it's possible to take someone down and crack their network access, revealing their entire team's positions to you and yours for a short time.

I'd definitely like to see more character model customization especially being able to change camo patterns since the russian team seem to wear this very out of place blue GOROD style camo which really stands out.
From what Ive played I think the game-play has almost certainly been sped up on purpose to appeal more to the BF/COD crowd. Even when you get a good squad working together the game flow always seems incredibly fast paced and its almost a little in your face which so much going on.
All in all I think they've sacrificed a bit of what made Ghost Recon great in order to appeal to a wider audience.
This of course is solely regarding the MP aspect and I'll reserve judgment on the game overall until I've had a go at the campaign.

Deadspin ripped it for stuffiness, high-handedness, and general cluelessness.
A shabby little house in a crowded street, off at the back of somewhere; dirt and stuffiness and vulgarity all around you.
We stayed long after both of us had begun to notice the stuffiness of the air.
There was to be no heartsick shame, no stuffiness in my life any more forever!
Yet there is, of course, a difference between warmth and stuffiness.
I am thankful to say you won't find dirt or stuffiness anywhere in this house.
After the stuffiness of my cabin, however, the pure air was vastly refreshing.
The stuffiness of the place was poisonous, and I ventured to lower one of the windows a few inches.
We scarcely notice it, as a person in a stuffy chamber will scarcely notice the stuffiness.
stuffiness, stuffiness everywhere—it leads to nothing but stuffiness!
Tediously conventional; pompous and self-righteous: He was inclined to be a bit stuffy in sexual matters
[1895+; fr stuffy, ''stale, lacking freshness,'' influenced by stuffed shirt]

A number of women who are most likely very familiar to Alliance-area citizens were in good company while being honored at the second annual Greater Stark County Athena Leadership Awards ceremony at Kent State University at Stark on Thursday night. Lorie Miller, director of community educational outreach at the University of Mount Union, was among the eight nominees brought up on stage during the event, along with Marie Heege, president and CEO of United Way of Greater Stark County, and Stark County Common Pleas Judge Taryn Heath. The woman who received this year's award, Para Jones, Ph.D. is the first female president of Stark State College. Other nominees included Shelly Chadwich, controller-process industries at The Timken Company; Judith Lancaster, attorney and owner of Judith E. Barnes Lancaster; Corey Minor Smith, director of legal services at Stark Metropolitan Housing Authority; and Vicky Sterling, vice president of sales and marketing at Pinnacle Press.
This year's judges were Janet Weir Creighton and Renee Powell, both last year's Athena Award finalists, and Norma Rist, past chairman and director emeritus of Athena International and the master of ceremonies during this year's event. Co-chairwomen Laura Baloun and Paula S. Mastroianni announced the winner, and Rist introduced the eight finalists. The event was presented by Women's Impact Inc.
As Miller was honored, it was noted, "The determination, work ethic and creativity that Miller demonstrates on a daily basis cannot be easily matched." As the director of the Outreach Program at Mount Union, Miller frequently employs nontraditional methods, such as pairing schoolchildren with Mount Union students or coordinating the annual Trash to Treasure sale, to keep the university heavily involved in the local community. Helping those in the community is also a part of Miller's heritage because her earliest role models, she said, were her parents, who often invited down-and-out strangers in for a warm meal or a ride to a nearby city. Her concern for the greater community has been demonstrated by her involvement with organizations like United Way, the YMCA and The Regula Center. Still, some of her greatest accomplishments have been in the area of mentoring young women.
Heege is said to go to work each day with one goal, to make the community a better place, and she has been doing this for 31 years. Her vision has its imprint on the three separate United Way organizations that were combined into the United Way of Greater Stark County we are familiar with today. She has worked to empower women through a number of other organizations, such as Junior League and the Women's Leadership Council, and she ensures her employees are reaching their greatest potential by developing flexible work schedules, finding tuition for those who desire to further their education, and working to lift spirits and celebrate successes on a daily basis. Her philosophy is, "Work hard, do good and motivate others," and by her words and deeds, she succeeds in making others feel special.
Heath has said her faith in God and the support she received from her family have led her to believe she could accomplish anything. As the first female prosecutor for the city of Alliance, the first female magistrate for Canton Municipal Court, and now a member of the Stark County Court of Common Pleas, Heath has demonstrated her abilities. In her current role, she made a significant difference in the lives of offenders who suffer from mental health issues. She has served on many boards and with a number of other organizations that give help to those in the community. She mentors young women and actively encourages students of all ages to shadow her.
Jones is a professional with more than 24 years experience in the community college setting, and she has more than proven her ability to help shape the lives of others through mentoring. She stated there are more women at the university than men, and said she has the ability in the position she holds to help change lives every day. Jones mentors women with an investment of time, kind words, sharing of feedback and a willingness to extend beyond the normal boundaries of mentorship. Her innovative activities include endowing a scholarship program designed for working mothers. "Women are strong. They are 60 percent of our population, and I give thanks to Athena for helping women accomplish everything they wish to accomplish," Jones closed while accepting her award.

Tori Spelling's first marriage will be officially over next week April 20th, 2006, clearing the way for her to marry fiance Dean McDermott
Hollywood actress Tori Spelling and actor Charlie Shanian will soon have their divorce finalized. Shanian has in October last year filed for divorce from Spelling, citing dissolution of marriage as the reason behind.
In court documents obtained Tuesday by syndicated TV news magazine "Entertainment Tonight", a Superior Court commissioner stated that Spelling and Shanian divorce will be officially dissolved on April 20.
And soon after her divorce is finalized, Spelling will probably go down the aisle again considering that she's been engaged to Dean McDermott by December 2005.

Lego Sculptures with Play Doh
This post originally appeared on January 25, 2012. Are you loving Lego week???? We are and it is only going to get better... A few days ago we had a really fun day of rain that ended up more of a Lego day than a rainy one! We sat on the front porch and played all morning. Our first project was this one... Lego Sculptures with Play Doh We took a Lego Garden that Big M created last week and the set of Play-Doh that they were given for Christmas out to the front porch. My plan was to use the Lego Garden as inspiration for a Play-Doh sculpture. This idea is a twist on At Home With Ali's Making a Puppy Sculpture. We started out Continue Reading
SPRING Homemade Play Dough
As promised here is my contribution to the Busy Bag Party. We love homemade play dough and we love spring. So why not combine the two? Spring Homemade Play Dough I picked up all the ingredients I needed to make 4 batches of my favorite homemade play dough and some green food coloring. (I like the specialty food coloring sold in the cake decorating section.) Little M and I spent all morning mixing up the play dough. Once the play dough was cool I split it into 7 sections and bagged them up. In December I added a few Christmas accessories and the kids had a blast with it. What better way to make spring play dough then to add a Continue Reading

simple learning for TODDLER TUESDAY
Watching my sister's girls on our extended sleep over reminded me of something. Toddlers are extremely fun... and just a little bit demanding. :) Sweet J has now started shouting "I NOT BABY!!! I TODDLER!" Whew, I only had to hear that once. Of course she's right, she is not a baby and I am so glad. 2 years old is such a fun age. One of the benefits of having M and M so close together in age is that I have really never had to adjust projects or activities to include different ages. I know from chatting with my sister that having a toddler (NOT A BABY) around makes it more difficult to bring out certain stuff. Well I had a fairy Continue Reading

According to recent reports from European newspapers, Apple has begun telling magazine publishers that it may begin enforcing "stricter rules" on electronic editions of their publications. The targets of these rules seem to be publications that offer print subscribers electronic versions for free on their iPhones and iPads.
Offering print subscribers access to premium or subscription only content online isn't a new concept. Many magazines and newspapers around the world have turned to this approach to boost print subscriptions. With the rise of mobile devices, the approach is a natural fit as users can more readily access print articles as well as expanded content while commuting, having a coffee break, or spending some time on a treadmill at the end of the day. It's a perfectly logical extension of the traditional subscription model.
So, why would Apple object to that?
The almost obvious answer is money. Apple takes a 30% cut of all app sales in its iOS App Store (as well as the new Mac App Store). The company has no overt objection to free apps or free apps that provide additional content and features through in-app purchases. Of course, Apple gets a 30% of in-app purchases.
However, if an app is distributed for free in the App Store but requires that users pay for content through an outside mechanism (like a print subscription), Apple doesn't get any cut of the revenue. That's one big reason to enforce "stricter rules" when it comes to newspaper/magazine content.
That isn't likely the full story, however. Plenty of other types of software tie a free app to a subscription or non-Apple licensing model. The Netflix and Hulu+ apps are two perfect examples. Enterprise apps like those offer by Cisco and Salesforce.com that allow access to corporate applications tie to a completely external licensing structure as well (and a more lucrative one, no doubt). Yet, Apple isn't going after any of them – at least not that we know of.
It seems much more likely that the issue centers around Apple's supposed plans to announce its own subscription mechanism (one reported to make its debut with Rupert Murdoch's all-iPad newspaper called The Daily).
If Apple has its own subscription model that gives the company not just a cut of the revenue but also access to subscriber information, it has a vested interest in weeding alternative subscription apps out of the App Store. Killing off competing options strengthens Apple's own model, which gives the company further leverage for partnering with publications and parent companies. The subscriber information it gains helps and further leverage here. Both the subscriber data and closer relationships with publishers could also be used to push Apple's iAd platform as an electronic advertising choice for App Store publications.
Those are all major reasons for Apple to clamp down on magazines and newspapers that rely solely on their existing subscription models for app-based content.
Interestingly enough, the only reports of these notices from Apple have come from European publications. It's hard to say if that means that Apple has already let major publishing companies in the U.S. in on its plans and arranged partnerships or if there's some other motivation at work.
Whatever the case, the new rules are said to go into effect April 1, which could be significant as that would put them in sync with the iPad's first anniversary. Given Apple's one year lifecycle for product lines including the iPhone and iPod lines, it seems likely that we'll see a next generation iPad released around that time. It's pretty reasonable to assume that we'll see some iOS update (possibly iPad-specific) as well, which would be the perfect time to announce an App Store subscription model.
What do you think? Is Apple just being greedy or is there something more at work here? Would you opt-in for an App Store subscription model? Share your opinion in the comments.

Pictures of John Mayer Arriving in the Sydney Airport
John Mayer Bides His Time by Blogging Down Under
John Mayer arrived in Sydney yesterday for the Australian stops on his Battle Studies tour, and he was quick to whip out his camera and capture the view from his hotel balcony. John is off to Japan and Europe next, but despite the busy travel schedule he's also finding time to work on new music — he just shared a peek into his writing process with a video on his blog. John's all about his Tumblr these days, which is handy considering his anti-Twitter sentiments. He reverted to the more traditional medium of TV for an interview with Keith Urban promoting their Crossroads concert airing June 18 — check out a clip below. The guitar-playing duo will also reunite this Summer with a concert in Washington state on Aug. 28.

Initially in Germany in the 1850s, under the title of "Historical Judaism," and in the United States in the 1880s, Conservative Judaism emerged as a moderately traditionalist response to what its founders viewed as the excessive departures from Jewish law and rituals made by Reform Judaism.
Early Conservative Judaism was mainly influenced by the theology of a group of modernizing, but ritually traditionalist, rabbis and Jewish historians in Germany, who founded the Judisch-Theologisches Serminar in Breslau in 1847 in reaction to the radicalism of the early Reform movement.
The Conservative movement regards the German rabbi, Zacharias Frankel of Breslau, as its theological patriarch, and Dr. Solomon Schechter, President of the Jewish Theological Seminary in the early 20th century, as the institutional founder of the movement in America.
Sacred Texts
While accepting the findings of modern, critical biblical scholarship, Conservative Judaism still considers the Torah to be divinely inspired, if not textually immaculate. Conservative Judaism also encourages study of the Talmud and rabbinic codes, but treats their legal rulings more loosely than does Orthodox Judaism.
Historical Perspectives
True to its establishment as a movement that safeguards the traditions of rabbinical Judaism, while remaining open to adaptations to historical changes, the Conservative movement has never ceased to evolve in response to major social trends, most recently in the areas of gender egalitarianism and recognition of equal rights for homosexuals.
