Civil War Roll Call
Posted by
Last week I posted a
call for Civil War images
...so many folks answered that request that I have enough material for two columns. I also mentioned some tips on how readers could find images of their Civil War ancestors. In William C. Darrah's
Cartes de visite in the Nineteenth Century
(out of print), he claims that virtually every soldier posed for at least one image of themselves in uniform. In fact, many sat for multiple images.
Rachel Peirce sent in this photograph of Charles C. Baker of North Kingstown, RI. This young man was the first Civil War casualty for the town. He was only 17. He'd served with the 4th Rhode Island Co. H.
It's possible this image was printed as a memorial piece. Two months ago, Rachel saw this ambrotype on eBay and bought it. It appears to be a similar but slightly different image of Baker.
Donna G. Pilcher sent an image of her great-grandfather George W. Morrison, who fought for the Union as a private in Co. G 54th Indiana Volunteer Infantry from June 9, 1862 to Sept. 13, 1862. He injured his left eye and remained partial deaf in the left ear after his service.
The original was a reversed image (common in tintypes) and his belt buckle used to say S.U., but someone fixed that.
Deb Wilson has a bit of a mystery in her photo. On the right is John Thomas Boofter, who served with Company B., 97th Infantry Regiment of Pennsylvania, but the soldier on the left is unidentified. She thinks it might be Boofter's brother Edward, who also served in the war for Maryland. Given the affectionate pose, it's quite possible.
Kim Dolce's ancestor, Isaac Sharp Heisler posed in uniform for the 23rd New Jersey Volunteers. He died of typhoid in Virginia on Feb. 15, 1863.
Nora Patton Taylor e-mailed me a photo of her great-uncle Marinus King McDowell, who enlisted three times and was wounded at Antietam. This is a copy print of an earlier image. According the Nora, he was supposed to be at the theater on the night Lincoln was shot. He didn't go because his leg bothered him.

Drum Roll for the Civil War
Posted by
I'm deep into research and writing for
Family Tree Magazine
's forthcoming new book on
Life in Civil War America
I'm busy working on the Afterword on Civil War photography. I love having a project I can immerse myself in.
Last week The Genealogy Insider wrote a post about the
pose favored by so many military men.
If you've ever wondered whether or not
Civil War soldier posed for a picture, then here's a statistic for you: According to the 1860 census, there were at least 1,500 individuals who operated as photographers just prior to the war. This number only includes those who claimed it as their primary business and doesn't include individuals who had side businesses snapping pictures. That's a lot of photographers.
Private Frank A. Remington and two other unidentified Union soldiers
According to William C. Davis, editor of
Touched By Fire: A National Historical Society Photographic Portrait of the Civil War
(Black Dog & Levanthal Publishers, available used), these photographers took an estimated one million pictures, but only several thousand still exist.
Maybe my Civil War ancestor really did take time to pose for a picture—many soldiers did. I feel inspired to look. Right now, all I have is a pension file description of a man with red (!) hair and blue eyes. No 20th century family member has or had that color hair. I'm intrigued.
So here's how I'm going to look:
Check with relatives
Post a query online (haven't decided where yet)
Search reunion site such as
Try searching the
United States Army Heritage & Education Center
. It has thousands of images and an online database. Not everything is online, but it's worth a look. Since I think it's unlikely I'll find an identified photo, I'll also try searching for the companies in which my ancestor served.
Contact local and state historical societies to see if they have relevant images. I know that to search these collections might require hiring a researcher. If so, I'll find a local researcher using the
Association of Professional Genealogists
Library of Congress
Prints & Photographs division has a lot of Civil War images. Look in their catalog, but also check the American Memory project.
has searchable database of 1,200 photos. A good resource for information on Civil War photography is the non-profit
Center for Civil War Photography.
If you have a picture of a Civil War soldier in uniform,
e-mail it to me
. I'd love to see it. Please use "Civil War photo" in the subject line.
Now you can pre-order

It's Fall and Back to School
Posted by
This week, I've created a short video of photos from school days in the past. You can watch "School Days" and other video shorts on my
While the majority of images in "School Days" are from the nation's picture library, aka
The Library of Congress,
some of the pictures are from my collection of photographs I've purchased.
One of my favorites is this little girl and a woman in a dotted shirt that dates from around 1900. Without the caption, you'd immediately think this is a mom and her daughter. Not in this case. It's a little girl and her teacher.
It's evidence that this little girl attended some sort of school (of course this could be her piano teacher). When you're researching your family it's easy to overlook records relating to ancestral childhoods. School records are a great way to find out just where you got your talent in math or in my case, my poor handwriting <smile>. You can learn more about school records

Wearing Family
Posted by
This is a fantastic family photo owned by Sharon Pike. It's actually a photo within a photo. In this card portrait, a stunning portrait of a well-dressed middle aged woman, Jane Rivers Meriwether (1829-1897) gazes directly into the camera. Let's look at some of the details.
It appears she has naturally curly hair, but in this period the Marcel Wave was a popular hairstyle. It was invented by Francois Marcel in 1872, created using heated curling irons to form small waves. The style remained popular into the 1930s.
You can read more about Marcel here
Collar and Dress
In the late 1870s and early 1880s, wide collars were commonplace. However, they were usually white and made from fabric. This woman's collar looks like small threads woven and knotted, like macrame. She's used the collar to accent her dress, which is a lovely fitted bodice with small buttons and some fullness to the sleeve.
All right, I admit it: I left the best detail for the end. Jane wears gorgeous drop earrings in what appears to be a floral pattern. Around her neck is a braided necklace made of either hair (yes, hair!) or silk. Both materials were common and popular. In the 19th century, women often wore jewelry made from the hair of their family and friends. Hair jewelry is a fascinating topic and the pieces are quite lovely.
You can learn more about it and see examples in an online article from
Victorian Magazine
. These long braided ropes were often used as watch chains.
The most prominent feature of this card photo is the piece of portrait jewelry at Jane's neckline. It's a large pin setting with a paper photograph of a middle-aged man. Photo jewelry came in all shapes and sizes. I'm particularly fond of it (although it often costs more than my pocketbook can bear <smile> ). The top experts on photographic jewelry are Larry J. West and Patricia Abbott. Their book,
Tokens of Affection and Regard
(published by the authors, out of print) took years to research and write. It's a stunning volume filled with color plates of actual jewelry.
You can view examples on the Smithsonian web exhibit based on their collection
The big question is "Who's the man on the pin?" Sharon wondered if it was Jane's father, who died in 1840, or could it be her husband, Ethelred Westcott, who died sometime between 1870 and 1895. He's a bit of a mystery man; Sharon doesn't have a specific death date.
The dark color of her collar could mean the man in the photo deceased. Jane could have had this pin made from a small card photograph. The man's photo is difficult to see, but it could date from the early 1870s. His suit and tie are from that period. He has a full beard with lots of gray in it. I don't have a birth date for Westcott, but it could be him. Women often wore pins depicting children or a spouse.
This photo of Jane Meriwether dates from the late 1870s or early 1880s. The light pink tone to the card and its gold trim makes me lean toward the late 1870s.

Home Sweet Homestead
Posted by Diane
I just love this picture! It's got a lot of family history layers.
Terry Sargent sent in this photo asking if it was a Civil War-era picture. On the back is written, "Mrs. and Mrs. E.H. Sargent Strawberry." The "Strawberry" refers to Strawberry Point, Iowa, where the family had a farm.
Terry is hoping the photo depicts Emery Holden Sargent, his wife Louisa (Turner) Sargent, and their two children: Harriet (born 1857) and Emery Harford (born 1860). Emery was Terry's grandfather. Let's look at a few things first.
This refers to the history of ownership of the photo. In this case, this photo was originally owned by Terry's aunt Lavera Fink, and then by one of Fink's nieces. That niece gave Terry a copy of the photo.
I examined the photo and enlarged it to view the details of what the folks were wearing. One detail stood out: the woman's hat. I know it's blurry, but you can see the small brim and the high crown of the hat. In the 1860s, women wore bonnets or very small hats, nothing with a crown of this height. This style hat was worn in the 1880s. Would the other details in the photo and family history support this theory?
C. H. Hunt of Strawberry Point, Iowa, has his imprint on this cabinet card. According to
Biographies of Western Photographers
by Carl Mautz (Carl Mautz Publishing, 1997), Hunt was active in 1885. That puts the photo well outside the Civil War period. The decorative elements of the imprint reinforce the 1880s period.
Family History
There were two E.H. Sargents, father and son. So who is depicted in this photo? In the 1880 census, Emery Holden, his wife Louisa, son Emery as well as son Ora and his wife are living on the farm (US Census, Clayton County, Iowa, Caso Township, p. 289).
There are no children listed with the family. Since there is no 1890 census for Iowa, I checked the family again in the 1900 census. This time, the farm is occupied by the younger Emery, his wife and all of their children, several of whom were born in the 1880s ( US Census, Clayton County, Iowa, Caso Township, sheet 18).
There is another bit of family history: Terry told me that according to Emery Holden Sargent's obituary in the
Strawberry Point Press Journal
(1905), Emery left the farm in 1886.
It's likely that this picture was taken around the time when the younger Emery took ownership of the family farm.
There is one odd thing about this picture: its appearance. It is a cabinet card, but the image of the farm is either a copy of another picture (notice the wide black border around it) or the photographer took a different-size negative to shoot the scene. The image itself is blurry when enlarged, while the photographer's imprint is clear. This could mean it's a copy. It's a square image, while most cabinet card-size photos are rectangular. I'd love to see other outdoor shots by this photographer. In either case, the final date for the picture doesn't change. It's from the 1880s.

Summertime Farewell
Posted by
I don't know about you, but I'm having a difficult time saying good-bye to summer. This weekend I took a short field trip to historic Concord, Mass., and ended up in an antique shop. I couldn't resist the piles of unidentified photos. Picked up some of fantastic hairstyles and hats, but also these two beach scenes:
In case you guessed...this wasn't taken in the United States. According to the postcard publishing information on the back, it was taken in Rugen, Germany. This lovely multi-generational family went to the beach. I love the beach hut that shades the two older women and the little girl. Mom and Dad sat in the sand. Can you imagine dressing for the beach in a full suit and dress shoes? The image was taken by A. Haase, circa 1910. Haase may have traveled up and down the beach taking pictures of folks on vacation.
If you want to learn more about this seaside resort, there is a
, but it's in German.
The other image I bought is a snapshot. It's clear from the woman's pose and expression that she is having a good time at the shore. I have no idea where it was taken.
It's a great shot of a young woman in a late 1920s bathing costume. She's the epitome of the late 20s, from the wrap on her head to her glasses and the belted waist. The 1920s saw the evolution of women's swimsuits from blousy, long skirted suits to form-fitting tanks.

Hand-Me-Down Family
Posted by
Years ago, Truli Powell's mother received a box of photos from one of her husband's cousins. Now Truli is trying to date and identify the images. She's hoping that the cousin only gave them images from their specific line.
In this "like mother, like daughter" tintype, the mother and the woman in the back (I'm assuming grandmother) wear nearly identical dress designs and hats. This 1890s scene depicts three generations on an outing. I love the park bench as a prop.
In the second tintype Truli sent, a young man in a suit and coat poses with a painted backdrop that features a house and a wall. The "rock" in the foreground is supposed to create the illusion that he's actually standing outdoors. Since backdrops usually reflect the area where someone lived, I wonder where this was taken.
Truli wants to know if this could be her great-great-grandfather Peter Floyd Powell (1832-1922). Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to the case. This photo depicts a young man probably in his early 20s. From the neatly greased hair to the polished shoes, this is a young man who's dressed very nicely for the late 1880s.
She sent another picture and I have to include it. Last week I focused on
Here, two young girls posed behind a backdrop with cutouts for their heads. Their hats and the car date the picture to the early 1910s. One of the girls would be the right age to be the young girl on the bench in the first photo.
It's too bad that Truli's father's cousin didn't label the photos in some way, but hopefully the information in this column will help her put names with the faces.

Studio Backdrops
Posted by
At last weekend's FGS conference in Knoxville, I did a little shopping. Picked up a couple of interesting books and this lovely trio of photos. I just love the backdrops. This photographer spared no expense.
While in the 19th century most backdrops looked like the outdoors or living rooms, in the 20th century the backdrop often sets the scene into a historical context.
In December 1903, the Wright Brothers lifted off the ground in the first flight. Mass transit by airplane was decades away, but that didn't keep folks from simulating flight. Here, a group of friends are posing in a painted backdrop that looks like an early aircraft, with the skyline at their feet. Their clothing and the design of the airplane dates from circa 1912. You can view early airplanes on the web at
Early Historic Aircraft
In the next postcard, the same woman seated at top right in the first photo takes another picture in the same studio. This time, you can see the airplane set to her left while she sits on a fake racehorse. She wears the same suit and hat so it's possible it was taken on the same day.
In the same batch of photos I found another image of her standing near a painted wall with "Pennsylvania Pullman" on it. George Pullman manufactured train cars, trolley buses and streetcars. You can read more about him on
. I think this is a train car, but I'm still trying to find a reference to the words on the side.
I may not know the name of this woman, but it appears that in the early early 1910s she liked to frequent photo studios with creative backdrops.

It's Time for FGS!
Posted by
Oh boy...it's time for another national genealogy conference. This time it's sponsored by the Federation of Genealogical Societies. I can't wait!
This year I've partnered with Family Search to provide free photo consultations in the exhibit hall. I'm really looking forward to meeting all the folks (and seeing their photos) that signed up for a slot. Unfortunately, all the spaces are now filled on the
Event Brite site
. My fingers are crossed that I'll be able to do this again.
If you're at the conference, wave and say hi. I'll be in the Family Search booth space.
Back next week, with a photo mystery!

Favorite Photo Mysteries
Posted by
I'm taking a short vacation, so instead of a new column I'm taking a look back at some of my favorite mysteries.
Back in January
I published a photo of the Hobo 8
, a group of young people (above) smiling for the camera. It's a great photo that captures the fun they were having. The sign and the 80 after it remain a mystery. Any ideas?
The problem of the
Texas Twosome
continues to be a challenge. I've taken these photos on the road with me and shown them in locales from coast to coast in the hopes of a new clue. I've outlined researchers' ideas in a series of blog posts, linked below. Please let me know if you have any new thoughts on the matter.
Two Texas Mysteries

A fun picture of another group of friends was the image from
Clues from Hats and Backgrounds
. I love the fact that photos are in the background. Those images could help solve the identity of the people in the photo, if only they were clearer.

28-Tile ScrabbleLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
28-Tile Scrabble is a modified Scrabble. No board is used and a player is given immediately 28 Scrabble tiles (hence, the name of the game).
The rules are:
1. The tiles are 26 letters of the alphabet (one tile per letter) and 2 blank tiles (which may be used as any letter in the alphabet).
2. A player forms any number of words from his available tiles only.

Hello Sexy! Kate Upton on Becoming This Generation's Bombshell
"Ólafur Arnalds and I were asked to perform in Chicago recently—here we are meeting for the first time before the show. The city has a wonderful experimental concert program called Loops and Variations that takes place in the Pritzker Pavillion in Millennium Park. The massive bandshell is stunning—designed by Frank Gehry. People lay about on picnic blankets on the lawn as the music drifts over the speakers. Ólafur is an Icelandic pianist/electronic/chamber composer; he makes really lovely music."
"Here's me in said bandshell. This was a very large stage looking out onto an expanse of seating, the park, and the city of Chicago. Stunning. It was one of those 'tiny being in a giant universe' moments."

Did you know?
The ghost of an old nun visits patients at the Provincial Hospital in Port Elizabeth.
The ghosts of South Africa are a colourful, dramatic and varied lot. Made up of murderers, victims, battlefield spirits and road accident fatalities, a South African ghost story is always worth telling.
So when you ask the folk at the Swartberg Hotel in Prince Albert about their ghosts, they'll tell you about flying vases, characters moving about in old paintings and the shenanigans of a late-night poltergeist in the corridors. Ghosts, you see, are good for business.
Many years ago, a man murdered his wife in a riverbed near Beaufort West. Since then, people have seen a fast-moving light running up and down the river. They say it's the angry spirit of the dead woman. One driver who drove towards it apparently ended up in a lunatic asylum.
The most famous country spook is the Uniondale hitchhiker. On a stormy night in 1968, an Air Force officer and his fiancée crashed in their Volkswagen Beetle just outside the town in the Kamanassie Mountains. He was badly hurt, she died instantly. Since then, people travelling the area on rainy nights have picked up a woman hitchhiker – who then simply disappears into the darkness again.
Then there are the offshore Ghosts, in the form of the captain and crew of The Flying Dutchman, doomed to round the Cape of Good Hope for eternity. Let the haunting begin...

Jacksonville, FL - The fireworks came at both the beginning and the end of the game for the Jacksonville Suns tonight in their exhibition contest with the Florida Marlins before a record crowd at the Baseball Grounds.
Suns starter Todd Doolittle got back-to-back strikeouts against National League batting champion Hanley Ramirez and Jorge Cantu with a runner on to end the Marlins' half of the first inning. The Suns' Mike Stanton then came up in the bottom of the inning and blasted a 420-foot home run to give the Suns an early 2-0 lead.
The Marlins would battle back with one run in the third and 2 in the fourth to take the lead, but it would only last until the eighth inning when Tim Torres hit a 2-run home run to give the Double-A Suns a 4-3 win over their MLB affiliate.
The win by the Suns overshadowed a great pitching performance by Marlins starter Ricky Nolasco. He struck out 7 batters through 5 innings and retired 12 of the 13 batters he faced after giving up the 2-run home run to Stanton.
The Marlins open up their regular season on the road against the New York Mets Monday, while the Suns start their season at home against West Tennessee Thursday at 7:05 P.M.

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing some difficulty using the jQuery validation plugin jqueryvalidation.org/ to validate content created via jQuery.
I have a select menu which creates other select menus. These new select menus must have values greater than 0 before the form can be submitted. I can't use the plugin on these select menus.
Another select menu with the "this works" paragraph above it can be validated. This can be done by changing "somename" to "wine" in the selection.
I am also not sure about the jQuery.validator.addMethod. Is it checking that all of the select menus have values greater than 0?
Thank you very much, I've been at this for hours.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<form id="myform" action="" method="post">
<select class="someclass" id="5" name="booz[beer]">

this works

<select class="otherclass" name="wine[red]">
<input type="submit" name="send" id="submit" value="Send">
$(document).ready(function() {
var content = $(".content");
$(".someclass").on('change', function () {
var ad = $(this).attr("id");
var count = $(this).val();
newContent = "",
nameWithBrackets = $(this).attr("name");
name = /\\[(.*)\\]/.exec(nameWithBrackets)[1];

}newContent +="</select>";
$(document).ready(function () {
$("[name^=somename]").each(function () {

jQuery.validator.addMethod('selectValue', function (value) {
return (value != '0');
}, "Please select a value");
We meet again, RedBishop!
I hope your Monday is off to a good start?
I think what you need to do here is add the extra validation rules after you've inserted the new form elements:
$("[name^=somename]").each(function () {
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true,
selectValue: true,
min: 1 // prevents select validating with value of 0
Hey fretburner,
how are you doing?
As good as can be expected on a Monday, but thanks to you the validation is working now! I was wondering what the problem was...
Do you think it's possible to customize the error messages? For each of the newly-created select menus I have a paragraph before it - such as beer 1, beer 2 etc...It would be nice if the error message could read "please select a value for beer 2", or for whatever the case might be.
Thank you for assisting me with this.
Yeah I'm not bad thanks
Sure, you can grab the index argument from the .each() function and use it to create a custom message for each select tag:
$("[name^=somename]").each(function (index) {
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true,
min: 1,
messages: {
min: "Please select a value for beer " + (index +1)
Note: After looking at your code again, I noticed you're using a custom rule to stop the select validating with a zero value. If you're still using that, you'll need to change the message key like this:
selectValue: "Please select a value for beer " + (index +1)
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I have been trying to get the names of the select menus for the error messages.
The select menus are dynamically generated so the names will always be different. All of the new select menus have names in this format:name="name1[name2][1]". The error message needs to include whatever name is in the first bracket from the left (the name2 value).
I tried this:
$("[name^=somename]").each(function (index) {
var getname = $(this).attr("name");
var errorname = /\\[(.*)\\]/.exec(getname)[1];
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true,
min: 1,
messages: {
min: "Please select a value for " + errorname + " " + (index +1)
Would you mind having a look at this?
Thanks a lot!
I think you just need to change your regex pattern slightly to /\\[(\\w+)\\]/ and it should work.
Thank you, but no luck yet. The error messages now state:
"Please select a value for 0" or "Please select a value for 1" etc.
Could you please tell me what the integer in the bracket does? .exec(getname)[1];
This worked for me on my test page:
$("[name^=somename]").each(function (index) {
var name = $(this).attr("name").match(/\\[(\\w+)\\]/)[1];
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true,
min: 1,
messages: {
min: "Please select a value for " + name + ' ' + (index +1)
The [1] is accessing the second element of the array returned by exec().
Thank you for replying!
Still not right.
If I use this:
var name = $(this).attr("name").match(/\\[(.*)\\]/)[1];
It prints these error messages:
Please select a value for Beer][0 1
Please select a value for Beer][1 2
And if I use this:
var name = $(this).attr("name").match(/\\[(\\w+)\\]/)[1];
it prints:
Please select a value for 0 1
Please select a value for 1 2
Could you re-post the whole section of code please? There must be something amiss, as that code works fine for me.
Hi fretburner,
can I get back to you on this? I've tested the code with the HTML I posted in the first post and it does work, as you have confirmed. However in my actual webpage it doesn't work.
Let me see if I can figure this out.
Thank you for your help!
hope you are having a good morning.
Can I ask you something?
I am just thinking what options are at my disposal and would greatly appreciate your advice.
Thank you!
Hi RedBishop,
I'm doing well thanks. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, it's been a busy couple of days.
In your PHP script, why not check to see if there are values set in $_POST for the dynamic inputs and add them if they're not present? Something like this:
if ($_POST['booze']['beer'] > 0 && isset($_POST['somename']['beer']) === false) {
// echo the correct number of select inputs,
// according to the value of $_POST['booze']['beer']
Whether the user has JS enabled or not, once all the correct values are present in the $_POST array then the form has been completed and can be processed.
Hey fretburner!
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, it's been a busy couple of days.
No worries, I've been working on other areas of my website - always something else to do.
if ($POST['booze']['beer'] > 0 && isset($POST['somename']['beer']) === false) { // echo the correct number of select inputs, // according to the value of $_POST['booze']['beer']}
Thank you, but are you sure this would work? When the page first loads, $_POST['booze']['beer'] will always be empty. What I've done is add the select inputs between noscript tags and this seems to work. Do you think this OK?
Perhaps I misunderstood you - do you want to show the entire form, with all optional inputs, for users who have JS disabled? If so, then I don't see any problem with your method.
I was thinking that you wanted to start off with the initial input and then have the user submit, add additional inputs and the user submits again, etc. until the form is complete, at which point you'd process it.
The first method produces a longer form with a lot of potentially redundant inputs, but is probably friendlier than the second method as the user doesn't have to repeatedly submit the form.
Thanks for getting back to me!
The first method produces a longer form with a lot of potentially redundant inputs
You are right about that, but I'll probably stick with this method. Perhaps add a limit as to how many inputs can be produced.
I've been playing around with the validation plugin and have noticed that the error messages really hog the input fields. Can I position the error messages somewhere else? I added a div with a class of "placement" below the select menus and am trying to get the error messages to display there, but so far this hasn't worked. Could you please help me with this?
errorPlacement: function(error) {
error.appendTo(".placement" );
Thank you, and I hope your Monday is going well.
Sure. Could you post a section of the markup that you'd like to have, showing an input and the error container?
It's not going too bad, for a Monday
Good to hear.
Thank you for helping me. The HTML would look like this: The div with the error message would display below the 2 select menus.

Computers A

<select name="somename">

Computers B

<select name="somename">

// Display error message here

$('#myForm').validate({ // initialize the plugin
// other options
$("[name^=somename]").each(function (index) {
var getname = $(this).attr("name");
var errorname = /\\[(\\w+)\\]/.exec(getname)[1];
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true,
min: 1,
messages: {
min: "Please select a value for " + errorname + " "
I've adapted the following code from the example here: http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/errorcontainer-demo.html
What you'd need to do is add error messages to the container for each form input:

There are serious errors in your form submission, please see below for details.

Please make a selection for somename

Note that you should add a CSS style to hide the container DIV by default.
Then you add the error settings to the validation plugin:
var container = $('div.errormessage');
debug: true,
errorContainer: container,
errorLabelContainer: $("ol", container),
wrapper: 'li'
sorry that I didn't get back to you on this - I hope you are doing fine!
I managed to get the error messages to display in the specific div. Thanks a lot.
One thing I've noticed is that the validation occurs even before the form is submitted. If I select, lets say, option 4 from a select menu and I then select option 0, the error message will then display. It should be possible to select an option and then select 0 without the error message popping up. Perhaps there's a way to do this.
Anyway, hope you will have a great weekend.

New Catalogs And Drumschool Visit - A Short Summary
a lot has been going on here the last couple of days. we finally approved the layout of one of our next year's cymbal catalogs which is now going to go into print. it turned out very nicely and i can't wait to see the final result in a week. at the same time we are already working on a second new cymbal catalog for which the layout takes much longer to complete. still a lot of work ahead of us.
on top of that, 36 students of the drumschool in ellwangen, germany visited us today with their teachers. during a factory tour we showed them how we make cymbals. i always like giving tours to young drumstudents. i always get lot of insight from talking and listenting to different drummers, especially when they are very young. thank you for taking the time to visit us!
and last but not least, i will go on a short one-week holiday now before i fly to indianapolis to attend the pasic convention there. that show always is a very special one for us and we're already looking forward to going there this year. stay tuned!

It takes a long time to open a PDF file when there is a smart card attached to the computer. This issue can occur regardless of whether the smart card is used in Acrobat/Reader.
Update to Acrobat 9.4.5, 10.1, or later.
Additional information
When the smart card is attached to the computer, Acrobat detects there is a certificate available. It tries to validate the smart card by checking the certificate chain in the Acrobat and the Windows trust stores. There is a known issue in Acrobat where the algorithm performing this certificate check is inefficient and loops through the chain multiple times. Adobe has improved the performance of the certificate check. However, it has no influence over the other components that lead to the total delay where a smart card is inserted. There are also known delays in smart cards, the reading device and driver, and in the Windows trust store.

Ate at the 17th Street in Marion, IL. last Saturday. Had the slab of baby back ribs with beans and fries as my sides. Ribs and beans were good - wouldn't expect anything else out of a Mike Mills place. Disappointed in the fries but that was minor.
Wife had the pulled chicken with beans and slaw. She always orders pulled chicken at barbecue places - don't know why - she's never really happy with it. Always says mine is better. Going to have to remind her the next time.
Real highlight was the fresh made cracklins. Still popping when brought to the table. Huge dinner plate size portion sprinkled with Magic Dust. They were even good when I popped leftovers in the microwave at the hotel later that night to have as a midnight snack.

Latter & Blum Inc., of New Orleans, which owns Baton Rouge real estate powerhouse C.J. Brown Realtors, has acquired Van Eaton & Romero Realtors, of Lafayette.
Van Eaton & Romero, the Lafayette area's largest residential real estate company with 34 percent of the market, "will continue to hold their name, their brand will be the dominant brand in the Lafayette market, they'll just be a Latter & Blum company," said Stephen Waring, director of marketing and communications for Latter & Blum Inc.
C.J. Brown, Latter & Blum's Baton Rouge residential real estate company, acquired M.A. Allen, of Denham Springs, last week, though that deal involved C.J. Brown absorbing M.A. Allen and its 41 agents entirely.
Waring said Van Eaton & Romero's leadership will remain the same, and he sees no reason its agents wouldn't stay aboard.
Bill Bacqué, chief executive officer of Van Eaton & Romero, said in a news release that the technological and managerial support and the connections it will acquire by joining the Latter & Blum family of companies "heightens our capabilities exponentially."
Waring explained that one example of how Latter & Blum's depth and reach will help Van Eaton & Romero is its Web presence. Ninety-four percent of home searches begin on the Web, and the Lafayette company now has the benefit of the leading real estate website in every market Latter & Blum serves, he said.
Latter & Blum said the deal increases the size of its residential real estate divisions, already the largest in the Gulf South, by approximately 28 percent, and will rank it as the 34th largest in the United States by unit sales.
Bob Merrick, chairman and chief executive officer of Latter & Blum Inc., said that "with a combined strength of more than 1,300 talented sales professionals throughout Louisiana and the largest market share in each of the regions we serve, our future is filled with exciting possibilities."
The Latter & Blum companies will finish the year with nearly $1.8 billion in total sales and 8,400 total units sold.
The Van Eaton deal is effective immediately, and terms were not disclosed.
C.J. Brown absorbed roughly 20 agents from Coldwell Banker Mackey when that agency disbanded two years ago.
Waring said Latter & Blum's recent acquisitions have all been quite different from one another.
Louisiana's real estate markets didn't take the hit that many others did nationwide when the housing bubble burst.
But Waring said the difficult climate and slow resurgence of the past five years has Latter & Blum well-positioned to expand, whether it's absorbing agents from firms that fold or becoming more attractive for full partnerships.
"When an opportunity knocks, we're able to evaluate and see if we want to take advantage," he said.
Looking at the current climate, Waring said, Latter & Blum feels confident.
"The inventory is dropping and prices have leveled out or are getting ready to go back up again, and that's really the beginnings of a much better market."

Five Places to Go on Fall Break: By Plane, By Car & In Your Own Backyard
Fall Break, that time when in Kentucky the temperatures are beginning to change and those of us who are traveling have turned our thoughts to vacation. Its a toss up, do we relax on vacation or tackle a sight seeing adventure? I have done a little of both through the years and following are my five top picks! - by Jackie McCarthy


text:
Has there been a game this season that better defined these Rangers, the It's Just Paingers?
In a game, let's face it, they pretty much had to win, they played with all those characteristics we've seen most of the year: The shot blocking, the body checks, the PK, the struggle to score, the sticking up for each other, the limping around (and they probably had to stop to fill up ice packs all the way home), the togetherness, the contributions from everybody, the great goaltending, the relentlessness, the skill in the shootout, the road warrior mentality, the resilience after a stinker … all that stuff.
I thought maybe the win in Pittsburgh was crazier to watch, and the Pens were at full strength and crusing, and the Rangers threw it away, then tied it, then won it … and the victory came on a hockey play, not a gimmicky contest.
But this win — in a great hockey game — meant more because of where they were, where they are, what they have left, and what the teams around them have been doing. Thoughts:
1) Credit has to go to the coach. Some people thought and felt that he was losing it, that he was becoming uptight, when he was terse and short (is that redundant?) with the media after the Islanders game. I didn't. I thought he was cool and calm and he knew that his team would respond better by not being torn down in public, but by being built up the next day at practice. He has a very good read on his players' pulse, an excellent read, and he understands what makes them tick and what makes them react. And the type of people they are individually and collectively.
2) Marc Staal=Monster. I know I take shots at the kid sometimes when he and his partner, Dan Girardi, get mesmerized by the puck, and it happened once or twice in this game, too, where they let an opposing forward stand in the slot unopposed while chasing the puck. But in this game, he was unbelievably good and strong and rugged. Girardi had one of his best games of the year, too. Somebody called him the Block Ness Monster the other day. He is. Sometimes, I argue, it'd be better if he didn't stray so far to block a shot or pass, but there's no argument about what he did yesterday.
3) Most of the other D-men don't stray, which is why it puzzles me when the top two do. But Steve Eminger got caught away from his man on the first goal. Other than that, as a group, they were pretty fabulous, including the Baby Monsters, Sauer and McDonagh. And Bryan McCabe is really, really having a positive effect, and not just on the power play, where he's no Brian Leetch, but he's as good and as calming as they've had in a while. The top four D-men blocked 17 shots in that game!
4) That damn skills competition is a great example of why Wojtek Wolski and Erik Christensen are so maddening. I mean, give Callahan and Dubinsky, or Prust and Boyle, or Fedotenko and Avery those hands, and what would you have? Though I must say, Christensen was better during the hockey portion of the game yesterday.
5) And Marian Gaborik was very, very, very good. If Gaborik played like that every game, he wouldn't be sitting at 22 goals, and the Rangers would be thinking who they might rest tonight instead of playing another death-match, must-win game against Boston.
6) Bad luck, good luck. The bad luck was when Ryan McDonagh was hurt by a shot and had to limp to the bench, leaving room for Nik Zherdev to score the tying goal. Not much they could have done there, except perhaps Brian Boyle reading it better. The good luck was when Vinny Prospal took the too-man-men penalty and then came out of the box to set up the Fedotenko goal. Gotta love the Prospal-Tortorella relationship. The coach was barking at him after the penalty and Prospal was barking right back, as they have so many times in the past. Tortorella knows he can give it to Prospal, and that Prospal can take it, and I think the coach actually likes it that Prospal will come back at him.
7) Henrik Lundqvist is just so freakin' good in those shootouts. He was pretty darn spectacular during the previous 65 minutes, too. He admitted after the game that prior to the shootout he thought about the Game 82 shootout last year, and how he might have gotten out of the moment in that one, thinking of the consequences if he'd lost the shootout. And it helped him stay in the moment this time. Good stuff.
8) Brian Boyle took skating lessons last summer and look where it got him. Wonder, since he's such a good student, if he'd benefit from boxing lessons this summer. Because if this guy can ever learn to fight to go along with his willingness and will, he'd really be a weapon.
9) Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan sure rebounded from that woeful 27-hour slump they had Wednesday and Thursday. They weren't the only ones, but they were the most important.
10) You have to wonder, if the boys had played this way Wednesday, Thursday, if they'd be on the verge of clinching.
11) Don't you hate guys like Zherdev and P.A. Parenteau, who are barely NHL players, who barely give enough effort to collect a paycheck, and become Rocket Richard when they play their old team? I do.
12) The Flyers' PP is worse than the Rangers, at least without Pronger and Briere.
13) Here's a question for youse: If you could trade yesterday's shootout win for the Game 82 shootout loss last April, which would have put the Rangers in and knocked the Flyers out, would you do it?
14) I still have no use for the skills competition or the Bettman Bonus Point for losing.
AP photos, above.
Headed to MSG later today. Will have pre-game notes this afternoon, and the whole nine yards tonight.

12 Monkeys
We've got big Hills. lyrics by Chris Ellis
Some Races Are Held For CharityAnd Some For Fancy DressBut When They're Run For PleasureThey're The Hills That I Like BestMy Hills Are Always ToweringTo The Left And To The RightIt's My Belief That My Big HillsShould Be Run Every Night
Man, sorry dudes. I probably should have reached out sooner. But sex, drugs, rock n roll. And hills. Big hills. Man, I've been busy. But yeah, gotta reach out to all you groupies. Let ya know what's up.The hills are up. Big Hills. Heavy Metal hills. Dude.Monkey is coming at ya. Big and loud. In your face. This is a one date tour, coming to Monkeyville on November 18, 2012. Starting at 8am sharp, and dude, no encores. Don't even try. You are one of the unlucky ticket holders, so be ready to get your ear drums and legs blasted way out. It's gonna be BIG. It's gonna be Rock & Roll, baby.Here is some info about the show and venue. Just enough to get you started. I will resend this over and over so that you will feel loved. Or maybe even read it.- Your registration info is posted on the Monkey's website AND here: http://www.runningahead.com/events/Monkey/participants. Please take a look to make sure it is correct. Pay special attention to your number of prior monkey finishes. I have found a few of you entered the wrong number. As I have said before, that sort of false bragger angers the Monkeys, and they are likely already going to be angry enough with your trespass this Fall.- As always, we will not have automatic text messaging of your splits from this race, to be sent to friends and family everywhere. We will not have finish line videos streaming over the web, indexed with your bib number. We will not have cheer squads along the way, with a competition for best spirit and costume. We will not have pace groups.- Packet pickup will likely be at the Gordon JCC on November 17, 2012 between 2pm and 4pm. The JCC is located at 801 Percy Warner Blvd, Nashville, TN 37148. This is less than 2 miles from the race start/finish area. Here is a map to the GJCC: http://tinyurl.com/MonkeyPacketPickup . Packet pickup will also be available race morning adjacent to the starting line.- Running is stupid. You cannot train for Monkey. You may as well give up now.- If you happen to find wisdom while out jogging around, pretending to train for this thing, and realize you won't be able to make it to Monkey, please let me know so I can offer your spot to one of the foolish fools on our foolish wait list.- And as you know, we are looking for volunteers on race morning. So if you know of anybody smart enough not to run who wants to come out and spend a sweltering or freezing morning in the park helping out, please let us know. Volunteers are awesome! - The website lists information about where there is lodging near the race and restaurants where you can dine over the weekend. In addition, if you have further questions, feel free to holler or to put out a query on our message board: http://www.runningahead.com/groups/HHFMM/forum . If you post there, please don't mind the monkey business.Anyhow. Fools and Rock & Roll. Go find some hills. We've got big hillsTrent
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

After Drunktember that made my ass fat
I am hoping for
Nobeertober to have a chance at surviving Monkey.
Yes, I'm thinking that Nobeertober might be a good idea.
Well that lasted all of 2 1/2 days - Drove back to home town 100 miles for a funeral of a friends dad. Lots of friends around at funeral that I see 1-2 times a year. We went to bar and drank for 2+ hour afterward before the 100 mile drive back + I still had work to do, so I was at work from 12:30-2:30am.
So No-Beer-Tober re-started on 10/4
Ass is just a little fatter than before.
Yes, I'm thinking that Nobeertober might be a good idea.
I know ~ This is my favorite time of year ... everyone finally gets all those shitty beers off tap and puts some real beer in their spots. I love fall beer!
Sometimes it sucks to be me!
What is this blasphemy you speak of?
I have made my "try to salvage Monkey" training plan
It involves drinking 3 days in October and 0 pre-monkey in November
With my 15# and 4 weeks of no speed, I have lost 30 seconds per mile on both LAT and CV - I believe I can get them back by Monkey = 18:00-18:15 5k and 37:00-37:30 10k.

I also we become more agressive on treating achillies - Ice vs Ice Cold Beer.
I still have the fantasy that I can get down to 2:55 Monkey Shape.
Lot's of talk about Beer...Does anybody mind if I bring Bourbon...or Rye...I'll share.
Of course after I wrote this - I called up the wife, drank beer and watched the WI Badger game, then took the family out to eat - drank more beer and went out to see Hotel Transylvania - But we did not eat the movie theatre popcorn, so I have that going for me.
It appears all hopes of Monkey are lost as Beer-Tember slides into Beer-Tober.
Sigh ~
I have made my "try to salvage Monkey" training plan
It involves drinking 3 days in October and 0 pre-monkey in November

Good mice are absolutely essential for those who game, as a greater DPI (dots per inch) allows the gamer to quickly re-aim his or her gun in a first-person-shooter game without losing too much time. For work, a mouse with a high DPI is essential for the telecommuter to quickly travel on the screen's real-estate, allowing for patterned responses to come with ease.

HOUSTON - Constables say a woman is recovering after she was ambushed and sexually assaulted at her own home.
Around 12:30 pm Friday, Precinct 5 deputy constables said the woman was at a house on Jodie Lynn Circle in northwest Harris County when she was ambushed by the men. Investigators said they believe there were two attackers.
Jeff Patschke said he saw patrol cars and ambulances surround his neighbor's home. And soon, investigators were scouring the streets.
"The constable came up to me in the driveway and asked me if I had seen anybody at the house or anybody driving away," said Patschke.
As they searched, the woman was rushed to the hospital. Officials said she is expected to survive.
Just three days earlier and three miles from this crime scene, sheriff's investigators said a teenage girl was beaten and raped on Spring Cypress Road. Investigators said the girl played dead until her attacker walked away, then ran naked and bleeding to a nearby movie theater for help.
Precinct 5 deputy constables said they have no reason to believe the two cases are related, but the crimes add to the growing fears for neighbor Lindsay Kincy and other mothers who worry for their safety and their children's.
"It's scary, because you know my daughter sometimes take my son to the park and now she's not going to," said Kincy.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Newly acquired defensive end Jason Babin could start for Jacksonville this week after just one practice with the Jaguars.
Babin practiced for the first time Thursday, a day after the Jaguars claimed the nine-year veteran off waivers from Philadelphia. The Eagles released him even though he started every game for them this year and led Philadelphia in sacks (5.5), including one in three of the last four games played.
He could provide instant help for the Jaguars, who are tied with Oakland with the fewest sacks (13) in the NFL. If right defensive end Austen Lane (foot injury) is not ready to play, Babin could be in the starting lineup Sunday against Buffalo.
Jacksonville hopes Babin is able to contribute; no Jaguars player has more than two sacks this season.
Babin said he was impressed with his new team's practice habits, "I am very excited, honestly I saw how practice was today and I got a lot more excited. I don't think the record reflects the caliber of the team."
The Jaguars and Bills kick off at 1pm Sunday from Orchard Park, N.Y.

THE future is bright... but it had better not be orange!
Sainsbury's has been warned to ditch its orange branding if it wants a warm welcome when it opens a new store in Frinton's upmarket Connaught Avenue.
Approved plans for the development of five shops units – as well as the arrival of the supermarket – were previously welcomed by town councillors.
But representatives from the retail giant and developer Millbrook Land received a backlash from councillors when they unveiled draft plans for the shopfront's design during a meeting of Frinton Town Council.

UPDATE (June 16):
The Crimes Against Children Unit has completed its investigation into this incident and found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by the Perry Hall High School teacher in this case.
Original release (June 5):
Early this morning, at about 3 a.m., police from the White Marsh precinct investigated a suspicious condition reported at the precinct by the mother of a 15-year-old Perry Hall High School student. The complaint involved numerous text messages sent back and forth between the girl and one of her teachers, a 42-year-old man.
The officer viewed several dozen texts and found that they described an emotional relationship that seemed inappropriate for a teacher and student. The initial review of the available evidence indicated that a more detailed investigation was necessary. A copy of the report was sent to the Crimes Against Children Unit and the Safe Schools Facilitator.
Today at 9:45 a.m., police responded to the girl's home for a report of a disturbance. The girl's father told the officer that the girl's teacher -- the same teacher who had sent the texts -- had just showed up at this home without permission, saying he wanted to talk. The girl's father told the teacher to leave, but the teacher refused. The girl's father then struck the teacher with a baseball bat. The teacher and the father gave slightly different versions of the assault, which did not occur in the presence of the officer.
The officer found that the teacher sustained minor injuries and advised him of the process for filing charges for second-degree assault (a misdemeanor). The teacher said he did not wish to pursue any charges.
The teacher was advised by the officer that he would be arrested if he returned to the family's home.
The officer also advised the girl's family of the process for applying for a protective order.
This incident is under active investigation by the Baltimore County Police Crime Against Children Unit. Names of the persons involved in this incident are not being released because of the active investigation. Once the investigation is complete, the report will be presented to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office. The State's Attorney's Office will review the report and decide if any charges will be brought.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Baltimore County Police at 410-307-2020.

How can I increase my Printerest followers? Have any easiest way to increase my Printerest followers?:lol:
Follow other active members, share something unique with them. This is the only easiest & ethical way.
There is no Social Media site named Printerest. So for a start, make sure you know a site's name before you ask a question about it.
If you have some Good pictures in your profile then follow other member. 5 out 10 will be follow you back. Saying this according to my experience.
Make sure you organically grow your followers and traffic with good content and participation. Fake followers, etc are a quick way to get your account slapped down.
I like what you said about participation. Although I don't use Pinterest, I think it's the same for all Social Media. The way to get noticed is through comments and sharing. If you want to extend your reach, just posting and asking for shares won't do it. You have to show interest in those who follow you as well.
Hi Sharon
Some of the other ways that can drag in the number of followers are:1. You can sync your other social media sites say Facebook, Twitter, etc along with the Pinterest account that you have.2. Preferring the hash tags that are quite prevailing in Twitter.3. Also, you have to update your pin board with a fresh content with high quality images/pictures.4. On keeping the pins in an organized way would do so. Added to this, you should also engage actively by commenting, repining, or "Like" a pin.
If these are followed to the most, you'd likely experience the visitors flow to your account, I hope.
For increasing Printerest follower you need to share something unique and follow active members of the site.
Hi,I am also a joined pinterest a month ago and i started to repinned and give likes to the followers.Automatically i got so many followers to start following me.In 20 to 25 days time i have more than 30 +.Hope it will gradually improve.
Thanks for the info, man I'm learning the same goes for twitter, you have to interact! And keep self-serving links to a minimum.
There is an app for other social media sites: hootsuite. Does anyone know if there is something for Pinterest that allows a member to engage and add followers etc. in the form of a dashboard. Anyone have experience with Pinerly (now called Reachli)? It seems that is for analytics for Pinterest, but there seems to be some buzz for that.<snip>
I find that leaving comments is the fastest way to get people's attention on your board. If the content is good then they will follow you.
If you want to increase your pinterest followers then stay active and post regularly, comment more on relevant pins and never forget to include description in your image.:)
Like other social Media, you need to share something intersting for the fan. in this case you can increase your followers
This thread has gone quite repetitive. Sorry, but it's CLOSED!
