New Mobile App Helps Find People Willing to Share Their Boat Near You
NewsProduct InnovationsWednesday 13 August 2014
Littlenicethings, a creative design company based in Amsterdam have recently launched their campaign to help fund the first boat sharing mobile app - We are on a Boat.
The concept of the app is to allow more people to enjoy being on a boat by matching boat owners willing to share their vessel with people who are looking come along for the ride.
The inventors are currently using the global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter to fund the development of the app. The idea is a great way for boat enthusiasts to share experiences, make new friends and make the most of Europe's waters. In return for sharing, boat owners are encouraged to ask for small payments, whether it be food, drink or fuel contributions. However, allowing people to connect and share an experience is at the heart of the app's conception.
Once you download the app you are asked to register as either a passenger or a captain. After quickly filling out your profile, you are able to search boats by location and find the closest like minded boat sharers to you. The app's designers are hoping to build a like-minded community through the feedback function allowing users to share their experiences after they've enjoyed a shared boat ride. Whether you're a boat owner looking to meet new people or a boat enthusiast looking for great day out - We are on a Boat is worth investing in now.
Visit the We are on a Boat Kickstarter page, and their promotional video below.

While riding a motorcycle belonging to a friend a 19-year-old man overtook a vehicle on a bend, Craigavon Court heard last Friday.
Leigh Jacobs, Alexandra Gardens, Portadown, was fined £250 and given six penalty points for not having insurance on April 17.
He was fined £75 for driving without due care and attention and £75 for speeding.
David McElroy (18) of Westland Road, Portadown, was fined £200, with six points, for permitting Jacobs to drive without insurance.
Both were also ordered to pay £15 offender levies.
The court heard that police saw Jacobs on a Yamaha 125, driving at speed on the Tandragee Road. He dangerously overtook a Land Rover on a bend and carried on at speed.
When he was stopped he said the bike belonged to his friend McElroy and admitted he did not have insurance.
Joe McDonald, representing both defendants, said McElroy did have insurance for the motorbike.
He explained he was out with Jacobs who asked him for a ride on the bike and he allowed him. It was a spur of the moment thing.

KING WILLIAM – Whether you have a home garden, visit a U-Pick operation, or buy produce in bulk, now is the time to preserve fruits and vegetables. One of the commonly used methods of food preservation is canning. When done properly, canning is a safe and economical way to preserve food.
Earlier this year, the award winning home canner, Suseitte Jackson, and Laura Maxey-Nay held a canning class at 360 Hardware in King William. Thanks to 360 Hardware, the event was free and open to all. The teachers walked participants through the basics of pressure and boiling water bath canning. They also discussed canning tools and supplies and went step by step through the two methods of canning. While people discussed their canning stories, Jackson shared some of her secrets and famous recipes! Participants also received 10 percent off canning supplies purchased that night. The hardware store still has plenty of canning supplies if you missed this event.
Food is preserved to destroy harmful microorganisms and to inactivate enzymes that rot food. When using the canning preservation methods you are preserving using heat. There are two canning methods; boiling water bath canning and pressure canning. Which of these two methods you should use depends on the food's pH or acidity. More acidic foods (pH 4.6 of or less) are canned using the boiling water method whereas foods with a lower acidity (pH greater than 4.6) are preserved with a pressure canner. Acidic foods include fruits, fruit juices, pickled products and some tomatoes (depending on the acidity). The low acid foods include vegetables, meats, soups and mixtures of low and high acidic foods. To insure your tomatoes contain enough acid to can them using the boiling water method you add bottled lemon juice or citric acid. The amount of acid you add to the jar depends on the size of the jar.
There are several important "musts" when canning:
1. Food must be properly prepared and processed for the correct amount of time
2. The canner must be accurate and operated correctly (The Extension office can test your pressure canner's gauge to ensure it's working properly)
3. Directions from a reputable source must be followed (USDA, Virginia Cooperative Extension, and the Ball Blue Book are a few)
4. Use an up-to-date method and information
The above information only touches on proper canning techniques. To learn more about canning, such as the different methods of "packing" the food in the jar, canning supplies, and the procedures and techniques of canning please contact your local Virginia Cooperative Extension Office.

A recent study by the University of Wisconsin shows that the term "amazing" when used to describe others may be less accurate than believed.
The researchers came to this conclusion after following the lives of dozens of girlfriends, boyfriends, service providers and contestants on reality shows. Those who were liberally called "amazing" did relatively little actually to amaze on a day to day basis.
"We just didn't see that much that amazed the researchers" stated Dr. Nils Snowberry, a researcher on the team. He added "Maybe a few "impressed" on occasion and deserved a "good job" or "attaboy!" type congratulatory comment, but no one flew, or lifted anything impossibly heavy, or even memorized lots of hard numbers and recited them real fast. That stuff is amazing. We just didn't see that!"
Another researcher took a sober view and stated "I guess I'll think twice the next time I call my boyfriend "amazing." After all, he's a manager at "Taco Bell."

WASHINGTON - Capitalism can't always be trusted. If you're too big to fail, you're too big to make all your own decisions, according to the emerging view in Washington.
Three decades after Ronald Reagan launched a determined campaign to ease government regulations on business, the pendulum is swinging the other way.
"Too big to fail is the right size to regulate," declares Rep. Al Green, D-Texas.
Riding a wave of public anger over Wall Street greed and government bailouts, the Obama administration Thursday unveiled a far-reaching plan for "better, tougher, smarter" rules over big financial companies. The plan would crack down on major - but now lightly regulated - players such as hedge funds and traders of exotic financial products.
The administration is also pressing for closer international coordination. Allies want the U.S. to get tougher, and the new plan will give President Obama something to show when he goes to London next week for an economic summit of 20 major and developing nations.
Much of the regulatory framework now in place dates back to the Great Depression, some back to just after the Civil War.
Most of what Obama is seeking, including a new regulator to oversee the entire financial system, will require legislation. With the level of angst in the country as high as it is, it seems likely he will get at least some of the changes through the Democratic-controlled Congress.
Even administration critics acknowledge there needs to be more financial regulation to avoid any repeat of the kind of meltdown that has plunged much of the globe into painful recession. Few would argue that it's a good idea to allow sprawling financial conglomerates to be able to shop for their own regulator - pretty much what bailed-out insurer American International Group did.
But there is also fear of going too far and suppressing the entrepreneurial spirit that is part of the nation's free-market heritage. The pendulum had been swinging against tough regulation until recently.
Although President Jimmy Carter began deregulation efforts in the late 1970s, focusing on airlines, trucking, railroads and natural gas, Reagan popularized the idea as a major government goal.
Paul C. Light, a professor of public service at New York University, noted that complex investment products known as derivatives, including mortgage-backed securities, "were once seen as a great innovation and widely celebrated." Their implosion set off the global financial meltdown.
"We want more transparency but we want, at the same time, to protect innovative ideas. Everyone's so angry. What the public wants is a radical pendulum swing toward the tightest regulation. We just have to be careful that we don't overdo it," Light said.
In any event, said Light, "We're certainly done with the era of self-regulation. That's over."
The administration's proposals, which require congressional approval, include:
► Imposing tougher standards on financial institutions that are judged to be so big that their failure would threaten the entire system.
► Extending federal regulation for the first time to all trading in financial derivatives — exotic instruments such as credit default swaps that are blamed for much of the economic carnage.
► Requiring larger hedge funds and other private pools of capital, including private equity and venture capital funds, to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
► Creating a regulator to monitor the biggest institutions. Geithner did not say which agency should wield such authority, but the administration is expected to favor the Federal Reserve.
► Empowering the government to take over major nonbank financial firms such as insurers and hedge funds if deemed necessary.

Sorry I dont know the names yet.. is Danni the one who looks like she has more hair on her upper lip than Judd??
Every comment made she was like rolling her eyes and such.. I wonder how long it will be till she snaps.

I find most Survivor seasons start out with very little character development of some of the quieter players. It should be interesting to see how these people get along, being forced into competition right away could have major concequences on peoples first impressions
Back in the day, how much screen time a person got usually indicated how long they lasted. Now that isn't so obvious. I just visited the website and realized how few of the Survivor's I actually heard talking. Most was from Nakum and the only people I remember from Yakha was Stephenie, Rafe, Gary and a little bit of Morgan.Originally Posted by elusive
Getting rid of Jim was a no brainer with his injury and he can hardly blame them for "speaking". He might have lasted longer if not for that, but I doubt it. Survival of the fittest and all that.
I was surprised at the long hike through the jungle especially over night. With all of the cuts and scrapes they must have gotten, how easy would it be to miss a poisonous snake/bug/spider bite? The nurse is right. Blake needs professional care. Maybe dehydration isn't expected in a humid climate, but certainly the nurse should have warned them and kept tabs on their water intake.
On the previews Jeff said that this Survivor would be the most physically grueling of them all. It won't be a day at the beach where an ocean swim is broken up by some playtime with the camp rats.
Watching this first episode made me realize how much I really miss the last Survivor. It was so much more entertaining right from the start. From the first episode I had my favorites, but this one, I don't even know these people yet. I hope it gets better...
At least Steph is giving some good tv (again). She is just as motivated and strong as ever; and I like Bobby J. alot but why is he still so dumb...openly "reminding" everyone at tribal that "not to many people get a second shot at a million dollars"
Hello....if that doesn't get the star-struck fairy dust out of their eyes and give him the boot I don't know what will.
Probably. Danni is actually really good-looking in all the pictures I've seen of her, but she did not look as good in Guatemala. Not that it matters, since we haven't seen anything from her yet.Originally Posted by FireWoman
Now that I think about it, the hike was a great start for the Survivors. It forced them to bond and work together right from the get-go, and it showed who could really handle the strain of Guatemala. A grueling "challenge" that really set the mood of the season. However, it should not have taken up half of the episode. All we got to see of it was puking and groaning.
Really, that was all we saw of this entire episode. I know that the premiere of any given season isn't normally spent developing character arcs and giving us in-depth looks at the contestants. But they usually have something. I don't know anything about any of these people.

As a twist, they should have taken the teams they had.. Made them do that hike.. Then voted to trade out 2 women and 2 men from their teams, they'd switch teams... then, if they really wanted another twist, vote off one person on each team immediately... similar to the school yard tatic last season
Big Brother 16: The Alliance - Come See the Fun in the Big Brother Forum!
Liked the opening, the 11 mile hike reminded me of the first cart challenge of the Africa series, as that was very tough physically and the 11 mile hike was very tough physically. I think Mark Burnett is trying to get back to that pure tough survival mode of surviror.
What did I think of Stephanie and Jon coming back, from the way the previews were running indicating that the most popular male and female would be back I thought it might be Coby and Kathy (Marquessas). My first thought also was they might be the first 2 voted off. Stephanie seems to have a better chance then ol' dumb boy.
I did find it rather hilarious that all the Nakum (??) tribe men got sick as dogs after winning. It was cool to see that because of that situation the woman were bonding into a possible group as they were the ones still standing. That might be a very interesting developement. The nurse looks as if she might be developing into the leader of this group.
The location is interesting the people of the teams look interesting and the show had a great pace and I get the feeling that this will be a great Survivor series.
Yes, this is typical. The eye candy is sick this time? What do I have to do to have somebody cute win this show? Apparently 16 hot guys have to play in order for that to happen.
I really hope Blake and Bobby feel better. I need my eye candy!
This is too physical. Watching everyone get sick isn't entertaining.
No, Bobby is not a genius, but he's not dumb. I'm sure everyone would be spouting off Calculus after being dehydrated. Not me. I was really worried about him. Him passing out? Is a very bad thing. My poor Bobby. And poor Blake. They just gotta win something. Bobby's gotta get immunity!
Actually, he was drafted by and played 5 or 6 years for the Dallas Cowboys as backup to Danny White. Then he went to the Colts and I think he finished up with a year for the Cardinals -- not positivie about the last.Originally Posted by Unklescott

Hi everyone,
Finally I'm getting on the train to Asia.
It's a very last minute trip, but here's what I've come up with:
Day 1: depart US, flying to Hong Kong via London
Day 2: arrive HK late afternoon
Day 3: HK and overnight
Day 4: fly HK to Bangkok, for 2 nights. My plan for BKK is to visit temples, the Grand Palace and Jim Thompson House.
Day 6: either drive to Kanchanaburi or fly to Chiang Mai. If the former, 2 nights. If the latter, 3 nights. My priorities are nature and highest on my priority list is to visit a real elephant camp, where it's not just touristy stuff, but also a place where the animals go for being raised, rehabilitated, etc. I'm obviously expecting the touristy stuff wherever we go, and I will fully lavish every minute I take a ride on one's back, but I want it to be a legit camp.
Day 8 or 9: fly to either Phuket or Ko Samui. My priorities here are to see the landscape. I hear Koh Phi Phi is an idea place, so we'd go to Phuket. But I also hear KS is wonderful. Stay 2 nights.
Day 10 or 11: fly to Siem Reap, stay 2 nights.
Day 12 or 13: fly to Danang. We'll spend 2 nights in Hoi An and 1 in Hue. Not sure of the order.
Day 15 or 16: fly Danang to Hanoi. Spend 2 nights in Hanoi and 1 in Halong Bay.
Day 18 or 19: fly Hanoi to HK and back home.
So, my initial questions and input. We're in our early 30s and have always done these types of trips - visiting lots of places, hopping around after only a night or two. We're active and nature lovers, so we're hoping to get to a national park, we're also hoping to get some hiking or kayaking in.
My priorities are buddhas/temples in BKK, seeing elephants north of BKK, doing a bike trip in Vietnam, Angkor Wat, maybe seeing some tigers, and hopefully doing a village visit. I also may visit a school that my company recently built in Cambodia if I can fit it in.
Thoughts? Anyone with elephant experience? I've written down a few things from the web and books, but it's always helpful to have "live" feedback.
For Hong Kong and Bangkok, we'll try to use points for more westernized hotels. But for the rest, we want cozy little places that speak to the destination we're visiting.
Thanks in advance for your input, I appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

Chiang Mai can give much more "authentic" elephant exposure than Kachanburi. Use the search on this forum to look at some options.
If you're going soon, the weather is much better in Phuket. Check weatherbase.com.

Jeez, I'm so sorry! I completely forgot to tell you my dates. I apologize for leaving out this important detail.
We're going in February.

Boston, I know you think you want to see everyhting, but I'm afraid with this itineray, you'll mostly see the insides of airports. Slow down! Two nights in a place is really only one day. (you spend most of a day getting from one place to another) So, in reality, you have one day in Hong Kong, one day in Bangkok, two days in Chiang Mai (if you want elephants, go to CM - the TECC for authentic, humane), one day in Phuket or Koh Samui, one day in Siem Reap, etc, etc.
Look at your priorites, and spend time in places that meet your priorities. For instance, if you are intersted in the temples at Angkor, it takes a full three days just to see the major temples. If you aren't interested in the temples, why go there?
If you have 19 days on the ground in Asia, I'd suggest you visit not more than 5 places (and that is a busy schedule in this part of the world). Then you'll at least have a little time to experience the places you are visiting.

Hi Kathie, thanks so much for your input and concern. I may switch a few things out for Vietnam, but other than that I think I'll be ok.
I only want 1 day in HK. In BKK, I want to see a couple temples one day and then the Palace the next. In CM, I want to do the elephant thing (I have that website bookmarked with priority thanks!), and DS. The beach - we're toying with dropping this altogether. I was assured by my Asian expert colleague (we work in travel) that 2 days would be plenty for Angkor Wat. I know we'll be moving and hardly sleeping, but that's how we like it
I know one day I'll change and prefer slow(er) travel, and I'll definitely take your suggestion of limiting it to 5 places to heart.
Thank you!

BG-the beaches are nice, but they do not have the same Asian feel as do the other locations. For Angkor Wat, see if Ponheary or her brother Dara are available. They are wonderful guides. They can be reached at [email protected] Also take a look at "thePLF.org". Many on this forum have enjoyed their interaction with the schools.

Hi Boston: I hope you'll send us a trip report on this one. I'm with Kathy, I gotta say - but you're you - not us. Nineteen days - you're spending nearly half of it in transit.
So [heh] your report on taxis and buses to and from the airport, details of the hours every flight you'll spend in the transit lounge, airline meals, security and customs will be fascinating.
lol. I've done far more stupid things in my time. Enjoy it.

Gpanda, I'll look into the Ponheary Ly Fdn, thank you for the link. I'm not sure exactly where our (my company's) school is in relation to where I'll be.
dogster - as I said in response to Kathie, I'm certainly thinking about changing things around and dropping things.
But, my stupidity has suited me fine in other far reaches of the world, and my experiences have been amazing. Not the same as yours I'm sure, but amazing. So yeah, I'll enjoy my stupidity, thanks

I think Really Stupid Travel is an art form. I've been trying to perfect my version of it for years. [No, lol, I'm not being sarcastic]
Sometimes the GREATEST insights come from a kamikaze dash through the continents. Just as long as you know that they are brief impressions and not home truths everything is more than cool. A lot of my travel when I was yr age was exactly like your crazy dash. Grab it, chew it, suck it up any way you can. Get drunk, fall over, get into trouble - lol - excellent.
Yeah, you're reducing every place you go to a cypher: a ruin here, a temple there but, maybe that's all you need. You can go back at leisure later.

i'll try another approach....SE asia is not like europe, s. africa, south america, the usa.....moving around is slow...moving from one place always takes 1/2 to one full day.....visiting angkor for 1-2 days is almost worthless unless you want just to see a glimpse of things...
i am from boston and assume that you are too....think of the worst day of your life in the hot summer in boston....that is the way it is 24/7 in s.e. asia....bkk is hot, siem reap is hotter...heat is bad, but humidity knocks you over...
slow down a bit and see 4 places or maybe 5 in your time frame...PLEASE....

And in which case, I am most certainly changing things. Completely forgot about the heat and humidity (there goes that stupidity again). And I just learned exactly how much dough all those flights will cost me.
Therefore, I have changed plans drastically. Well, maybe not for slow travelers but for the drunk and troublesome souls like myself, it sure as hell feels drastic.
Drumroll.... New plan!
Feb 6, arrive HK
Feb 7, HK
Feb 8, early flight to BKK. 2 nights
Feb 10, early flight to Chiang Mai. 3 nights.
Feb 13, early flight CM to Siem Reap. Assume will take good chunk of the day. 3 nights in SR.
Feb 16, fly SR to either Danang or Hanoi.
Plan A: arrive Hoi An, spend 2 nights.
Feb 18, fly to Hanoi, spend 2-3 nights.
Feb 20/21, go to Halong Bay, spend 2-3 nights.
Feb 23, meander to HK for return flight.
Plan B: arrive Hanoi, spend 2-3 nights.
Feb 18 or 19, head to Sapa for 2 (maybe? not sure how long the travel will take) nights
Feb 20 or 21, head to Halong Bay. 2-3 nights.
Feb 23, meander to HK for return flight.
Thoughts on spankin' new itin?!!
Many thanks. Almost time for bed. Pleasant evening to all.

If you all are wondering why on earth I'm bothering with HK at all, it's called frequent flier miles. Couldn't get them for some reason via BKK. Hubby does business in HK a lot. I'm not even really counting it as a 'destination' for this itin.
Report Abuse
Yes, it's a whirlwind itinerary, but I look forward to hearing about it when you get back.
Your new itinerary does not look bad (taking out the islands), but you have replaced that with another destination in Vietnam so you are still moving around a lot.
Some recommendations:
1. Can you fly directly from the Chiang Mai to Siem Reap? I don't think so, but it's worth investigating.
2. Have you looked into the Bangkok Airways airpass? It might work for you and save you some money.
3. In Chiang Mai look into staying at the Baan Orapin Guesthouse, it's lovely.
4. Do check out www.theplf.org in Siem Reap if you can. If you want to read about my experience with them, it's in my trip report on my website- www.wired2theworld.com -look at the 2007 Cambodia report.
5. As for the Halong Bay vs. Sapa choice, you might want to check the weather in Feb for both places to see if that factors into your decision at all. I think Sapa can be quite cold at that time. I don't know about Halong Bay at that specific time, but I know fog is an issue at certain times of the year.

much better

The weather in Sapa will be extremely cold at that time of year and I believe it could even snow.

Thanks Kristina & dgunbug.
We're going with plan A for Vietnam. And a colleague of mine recommended the Reunification Express overnight train from Danang to Hanoi, so I'm looking into that as well.
Thanks all for your input!

Flights are not looking ideal, as expected. We're thinking of cutting out Hoi An altogether. That means we have 3 extra nights to play with.
Thinking of adding a night in Siem Reap and 1 or 2 in Hanoi.
I may be mistaken, but it doesn't appear that we're missing much by not going to Hoi An. In reading, the majority of people mention the beach/pool aspect (which we're not interested), having clothes made (I would LOVE this, but not quite enough I don't think), and the Japanese Covered Bridge. This would also save us a good chunk of moolah, which is ever so helpful in these diastrous financial times.
Report Abuse
Boston, I think you'll thank the airlines for the flights not working out to Hoi An!
Three extra days will make a real difference in this itinerary. I agree you should spend another night in Siem Reap. Have you been to Bangkok before? If not, I'd add at least one day (preferably two) to Bangkok. And are you still planning on 3 nights at Halong Bay? I'd cut one of those so you have more time in Hanoi.
Report Abuse
Hi Kathie,
We haven't been to BKK yet. As for northern Vietnam, we have 1 night Hanoi, 2 nights Halong Bay, and then another night Hanoi, but we don't get back to Hanoi from the cruise until early evening. So I'm thinking adding at least 1 if not 2 nights in Hanoi.
Report Abuse
Hanoi certainly deserves more time.

Yes, add more time to Hanoi and Bangkok! More time in Siem Reap wouldn't hurt either.

Scout troop's OCW gift worth more than dollars
Last week, Boy Scout Troop 729 of Speedway, Ind., arranged a car show that brought around 130 cars to local Speedway Post 500. The participating cars rolled into the post's parking lot, which features the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway as a backdrop, already knowing the winner of the competition: Operation Comfort Warriors (OCW).
The Scouts from Troop 729 organized the entire event, held raffles, parked cars and cleaned up afterward. Then, they donated the $3,906 that the event raised to OCW as a show of support for the Legion's flagship wounded-warrior support program.
"Boy Scout Troop 729 here in Indianapolis worked very hard to have this car show at Post 500," said Past National Commander James Koutz, who accepted the donation from Troop 729 at Legion National Headquarters on Tuesday night. "They raised $3,906 at this car show, and they found out what Operation Comfort Warriors was in the process. That's great that they are doing this."
The idea to organize a car show to benefit OCW came from Post 500's involvement in the program. The project also paid tribute to Zachary Nordmeyer, a Speedway local who was killed in Iraq when his patrol came under small-arms fire from insurgents in 2009. Nordmeyer was the nephew of a former Troop 729 Scout master, and many of the Scouts sent him and other deployed soldiers care packages when they were Cub Scouts several years ago.
Nordmeyer's sacrifice is memorialized with a plaque in front of Post 500.
"A lot of the boys that are in the troop have been involved since they were 8, 9 or 10 years old and actually sent care packages to Zach Nordmeyer and other soldiers in Iraq," said David Reynolds, Scoutmaster of Troop 729.
Scouts from Troop 729 officially presented the donation to OCW on Tuesday night in a ceremony at Legion National Headquarters. Koutz was on hand, along with other members of national Legion staff, as the Scouts received a tour of the Legion building and learned about the organization.
Raising money for OCW was a personal project of Koutz's during his tenure as national commander from 2012-2013. Koutz said the amount of money raised for OCW now exceeds $1.25 million, far eclipsing his original goal of $500,000 set when he took over as leader of the nation's largest veterans organization in August 2012.
Every dollar of every donation pledged to OCW goes to benefit the program, which gives "comfort items" like iPads, Blu-ray players and rehabilitative exercise equipment to injured servicemembers. The Legion pays all administrative and associated costs that the program incurs.
Koutz said the fact that the donation comes from young people makes it even more special.
"That means a lot that kids from this age group want to work hard for something like Operation Comfort Warriors," Koutz said. "That means something. That means we've got some patriotism still left in us."
Reynolds said he's always pleased to see young people take interest in the right things – especially projects like OCW.
"It's good to see them involved in something other than things they shouldn't be involved in," he said. "Our troop is basically an inner-city troop ... so it's nice to see the kids involved in something, especially something like OCW that is such a good cause, rather than out running around doing things they shouldn't be doing."

Rick, T-Dog, Glenn, and Daryl are making their way back into the prison to try and save the day as everyone backs themselves into the cell blocks to escape. Rick finds Oscar and Axel and accuses them of the attack, but then the alarms go off and it turns out there's a mystery man inside using the generators to power the alarms. I don't care what his ultimate plan is, and by the stupidity of said plan it has to be a prisoner, it's not going to work in anyone's favor to lure more zombies to the prison.
Let's take a moment to remember what a kick ass man T-Dog was. He may have been used little in the show, but the man took a hard stance for doing the decent thing. When he was bitten in the yard and they escaped into the prison Carol promised to do whatever it took to help him. But T-Dog said that it was God's plan for this to happen. He had a purpose, and it presented itself as he sacrificed himself to let Carol escape. You might have been the last vestige of the sanity Dale represented T-Dog, and we'll miss you.
Meanwhile Rick, Oscar, and Daryl make it safely to the generator room only to find the other prisoner. Aside from the main two guys and Tomas, who was a featured bad guy, I kind of forgot about this dude until now. In fact, when I saw Andrew standing there I momentarily thought, "Hey, wasn't he killed already?" In any case, Andrew coaxes Oscar to shoot Rick. Oscar shoots Andrew, knowing that Rick and company are the true survivors and they're where he needs to be to live. He proves that he would indeed do anything to be allowed into the group.
OK, seriously you've read all the way to this point and Lori dies this episode. There. No spoiler warning, because this is a recap of the show. And I can still see the full-page image from the graphic novel of how Lori dies, it's devastating. But you know what? The show trumped the book for the first time on a massive scale.
Carl, Maggie, and Lori get chased into a boiler room where Lori goes into labor. During a contraction she begins to hemorrhage and they need to cut the baby out. My wife doesn't like the character of Lori, and I have to admit I'm not fond of her either. But the scene between her and Carl is intense and sweet, and just perfect. It's so horrible that not only does this young boy have to watch his mother die in order to save her unborn child, but he has to ensure she doesn't return as a zombie. Because that's the reality he knows now.
As emotional and powerful as that moment was, Andrew Lincoln ripped out every fan's heart when he sees Maggie holding his child and asks, "Where is she?" Walks over, realizes what happened, looks at his son and says "Oh no." An exclamation full of sadness, despair, and utter loss. He'll never get to make amends with his wife, who smiled at him through the fence just before shit went bad. He'll never get a chance to mend his family. Whatever was put between them, the wall that has arisen because of the past, can never be removed.
So not much happened in Woodbury. Well, stuff was put in motion as Merle is planning to head out looking for his brother. And Michonne is not a trusting gal. It was a bit interesting that the Governor revealed his name to Andrea so soon after telling her he'd never do so.
That's going to do it for us this week, hopefully we'll get more into the Woodbury aspect of the show next time around. Lots of set up going on around those parts, but not much action.

flip a hemnes loft bed into a princess bed
update! a reader, maike, kindly retouched the earlier photos which were too dark. am reposting with new, brighter photos.
marybeth, who has never ever held a saw prior to this, hacked an ikea hemnes loft bed down to size.
she says, "about 4 months ago, i hacked my ikea twin loft bed. i became tired of sleeping high in the stuffy air, became sick of the wobbly bolts creaking with every move i made, etc. it was poorly designed and i wasn't happy that i had paid a few hundred dollars for it.
so, with the help of my roommate, i flipped the bed upside down, removed the post stabilizers and chucked the safety sideboard to allow storage beneath my brand new, awesome princess bed. i have never been happier and look forward to long, peaceful nights in my creation.
i had to disguise the ugliness of the posts with the mesh curtains you see hanging from them. (which, by the way, were also purchased from ikea.) the funny thing is, whenever people see my bed, they are besides themselves, they think it's so cute and always ask where i purchased it … and i get to tell them this story."
marybeth, my suggestion – if you still have the stabilizers, you could add them to the top of the posts and turn yours into a four-poster bed like this. i think that will look great too.
One Response to flip a hemnes loft bed into a princess bed
I would suggest getting the DIGNITET cable and clips and running it between the posts. Then you could actually close the curtains on your four poster.

The 2-0 record has everyone around the Winnipeg Jets smiling, but doing so with words of caution.
"In this league I've learned over my six years that you have to stay as level-headed as you possibly can," Jets right-winger Devin Setoguchi said. "The second you get overconfident is when things start going wrong."
Jets coach Claude Noel said he liked the fact the Jets have beaten two very different teams in the first two games.
"We had a fairly long ways to go from the first game, but the second game was a way different game and I thought we responded well," he said. "We made some adjustments that we got rewarded for."
Defenceman Toby Enstrom did not participate in practice Saturday, though Noel said it was just a maintenance day and expects him to play Sunday. Grant Clitsome, who started the season on injured reserve, skated Saturday and could return to the lineup Sunday.
Rookie centre Mark Scheifele picked up his first career assist Friday, to go along with the goal he scored Tuesday in Edmonton.
"Every game I get more confident and more comfortable," Scheifele said. "I thought I played well. I thought I was in position, I thought I was reliable and I thought it was a good all-around game."
Noel liked what he saw as well.
"Mark is playing more straight lines, more of a pro game right now, starting to understand," Noel said. "He's a very good student of the game and he reads of our centres and he watches and he's very coachable that way."

'Action' on mobile phone blackspots
Mobile phone blackspots in rural areas that leave people with calls being cut off mid-conversation could become a thing of the past under plans reportedly being discussed by ministers.
Negotiations are taking place with mobile phone operators about asking them to help increase coverage by sharing phone masts, which would allow for the introduction of national roaming in the UK, the Daily Telegraph said.
National roaming sees phones switching from one operator to another when service is not available through a particular provider, which is what happens when people travel abroad.
It would address the problem of partial "not-spots", areas where only some of the major networks are available.
The move would be good news for hundreds of thousands of people but could provoke resistance from mobile phone companies over sharing mobile phone masts with rivals.
A spokesman for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said: "The Government has made clear it wants to ensure the UK has world-class mobile phone coverage as part of our investment in infrastructure for the long term economic plan.
"We are investing up to £150 million to improve mobile coverage in areas where there is currently no coverage from any of the Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).
"Of course we want to look at what more can be done in areas with poor coverage."

Lotsa love Iced_Cherriez
Everything suddenly went silent. The screams of his fellow Order members subdued, as he felt a cold presence upon him, Dementors. Another thing that had disappeared was the pain of Harrys throbbing forehead. His scar felt as if it was no more. It felt as if it was gone.
Harry pulled himself off the ground. Lupin, Ron, Hermione, everyone who was there when he closed his eyes, were now gone. Where were they? He heard a cry come from the kitchen; He grabbed his wand and made his way, reluctantly, over to the once crowded room.
Sirius was in there. He was lying on the floor, blood creeping out of his head, as if scared to show itself. Harry ran over to him, but as soon as he touched his Godfather, the man disappeared.
Hello, Harry. Harry shuddered as a raspy, snake-like voice was heard from behind him. He dared not turn around, because who ever he met would probably be his fate. But against his will, his reflexes made him turn around to meet his fate-bringer.
He was no longer in the kitchen. A dim light hung over the essence of the garden. How did he get there? Voldemort was playing tricks on his mind. Dont trust anything you see Harry He thought to himself.
Luckily he still had his wand placed firmly in his right hand. It was not an illusion because he could feel the slenderness of the wands smoovely carved body. The thought of this made Harry grip his only hope a little tighter in his hand.
But was it his only hope? He felt the wood slowly disintegrate into sand, which seeped through the cracks of his hand.
No! Harry yelled. But it was too late. A thought hit his mind as he starred at the pile of sand that had once been his wand. It was only another illusion, set out to trick Harry. But Harry didnt need his wand. He only needed his mind and thoughts to play with, for everything to work.
A tall dark figure floated across the ground, another following. Harry noticed silhouettes of many more rounding the trees in the corner of the garden. The one creature that was pure distress floated to meet Harry, causing him to re-enter some of the most disturbing moments in his life.
Expecto Patronum His silvery stag shot out from no where as he felt the unhappiness slowly being relived of him. He saw the Dementors slowly subside into the forest of trees and disappear form his presence.
I see my Dementors have no effect on you, Harry. That voice again! Harry starred at the forest as a tall black figure emerged from the dense trees.
Voldemort Harry said in spite.
You are not afraid to say my name? You over everyone else should know that it is to be feared. Dont just stand there; you must bow down to Lord Voldemort. Harry didnt move.
I said bow. The voice said in a sharp expressionless tone. Harry looked at him, but refused to move. Dont listen, do you boy? Imperio! He shouted.
A feeling like no other fell over Harrys body. He felt like smiling at the floating feeling that was coming over his body.
Bow down An echo said at the back of his head. Harry frowned and didnt move.
I dont think I will thankyou.
Always so polite I said BOW DOWN! the voice was louder.
No I dont want to!
Bow Harry felt his forehead grown inward as he told the voice he didnt want to.
NO! A feeling of excruciating came over his body. But Harry stayed standing. Finally the smile crept across his face, slowly taking Voldemort off guard.
You, more than anyone else, should no that I am immune to the Imperious curse, Voldemort. Harry smirked.
Maybe I already knew Enough of the games! Crucio! He yelled. Harry jumped to the ground, feeling the spell being cast over his head.
Avada Kedavra! Both men yelled at the same time. The spells hit in mid air, no unlike what had happened eight years ago. The pain in Harrys forehead came back as he tried to fight off the killing curse. He could see the same green beads coming towards him. They were getting faster and faster.
They were almost there. Only a few more metres and Harry would meet his death. He prayed for it to be over, for it to end. But the pulses of beads suddenly stopped, inches away from Harry. There was nowhere for them to meet him; He had no wand. They seemed to turn around and speed towards the owner of the wand, the wand that brothered Harrys. Voldemort yelled as they pelted slowly towards him, getting faster as he tried to disconnect the line of green light.
Then they touched. The impact was enormous; it could be seen miles away, by Muggles. But they only thought it was a firework of some sort.
After it had contacted Voldemorts wand, the light of green exploded into a million different cords of light. It shone over the house and ended with a huge explosion. An invisible force pushed Harry through the air, only to hit the wall of the house. He slid down the wall at great speed and collapsed on the ground near the back door.

Are you trying to just encrypt data between the two? Are you looking at authenticating with AES to add/remove credit? You could start with the wallet example from the JCDK and add security to that.

Re: Card Example with AES Usagejohnnybravo Nov 16, 2012 11:53 AM (in response to safarmer)Well, I'd like to have a mutual authentication between card and terminal, but also a secure data transfer to decrease/increase the card value. I know - one at a time, but that is what I try to learn/achieve!
I'd like to start with the wallet example, I just don't have one, where is that to be found?
6. Re: Card Example with AES Usagesafarmer Nov 16, 2012 9:47 PM (in response to johnnybravo)Hi,
You can find sample in the JCDK. There is a samples directory and I believe JC 2.2.2 and 3.0 both have a sample wallet applet.
You could model your authentication off TLS/SSL and the GlobalPlatform secure channel protocols. Some basic steps you could use:
1. Send a nonce (random challenge) to the card.
2. Card generates a nonce and combines the two with a master AES to generate a session key. You can search for key derivation algorithms (and example is KDF1 - key derivation function 1).
3. Use the session key to generate a MAC of the two nonces.
4. Return the card nonce and MAC to the host.
5. The host uses the nonce from the card to generate a session key (should match card session key).
6. Host verifies the MAC received from the card using the two nonces and session key.
7. Generate a different MAC using the same data and key but opposite order when combining nonces.
8. Send MAC to the card to prove that the host has the same key. The card verifies this MAC.
After this you have proven that both sides have the same session key based on a shared secret. You can use the session key to encrypt the commands sent to the card.

Instead of the directory where the executable is located, the working directory should be "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\kissplayer"(Vista+) or "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\kissplayer"(2k/XP), just like happens on linux: "~/.kissplayer".
The db.s3db file should be loaded from there, if it's not found, search on the executable current dir, if found move to the correct location.
The next move will be single instance, which maybe will be implemented just like Google Drive Client does, "lockfile" and "pid" files. Another ticket will track this.

For more than half a century, Hockey Night In Canada and the CBC have gone together like Don Cherry and plaid.
But Grapes might as well get himself fitted now for a CTV/TSN jacket. When the NHL's current contract with the CBC expires at the end of the 2007-08 season, look for them to get the puck out of there.
Hockey Night In Canada returns tonight at 7 p.m. with Toronto facing off against Ottawa in the first half of a double header. Calgary at Edmonton follows.
Fact is, the Leafs have a better chance of winning their first Stanley Cup in 40 years than the CBC has of re-signing with the NHL.
It's not just that CTV, which has coveted HNIC for years, is reportedly prepared to make a $1.4-billion, 10-year offer. It's not just that picking up HNIC would give CTV the one night of the week it doesn't automatically win now -- Saturdays.
Rather, it's that so many Canadians have stopped watching CBC that the NHL almost has no alternative. After all, you wouldn't play hockey in a dark rink.
The CBC brass know this. Last week in Ottawa at the CRTC's television policy review, the network basically admitted it would soon be out of the hockey business after a 70-year association on TV and radio.
CBC president Robert Rabinovitch said it was "distinctly possible" that the NHL would skate over to CTV. This would mean a loss of revenue for CBC estimated at $100 million a year, the committee was told. The CBC brass went on to say that if they lose hockey, they want more taxpayer money. Otherwise, Rabinovitch said, "we will have to seriously re-evaluate almost everything about English television."
So that's their pitch: We give up, and give us money.
Way to rally the troops after CBC chairman Guy Fournier's "bestiality and bowel movement" meltdown. (The 75-year-old Fournier, one of the most powerful and influential men in Canadian culture, resigned last month after blathering on like an idiot in print and on TV.)
If CBC isn't already seriously re-evaluating almost everything about English television, it may be too late. Ratings for this season are so low they're shocking even for dwindling CBC standards.
Hockey: A People's History, on billboards and bus shelters all over town, drew just 390,000 viewers Sept. 24. Nine times as many Canadians (2.7 million) watched Desperate Housewives that night at the same hour on CTV.
About a year ago, CBC programmers were all excited about a quirky little animated series called What It's Like Being Alone. The series finale Sept. 18 drew 163,000 viewers.
It gets worse. That miniseries on Rene Levesque? Part of CBC's high-impact programming strategy? A washout Sept. 21 with 131,000 viewers. Don't even ask about last season's Kraft Hockeyville fiasco, which plunged below 100,000.
This after a nightmare summer during which CBC programming head Kirstine Layfield got roasted for reaching across the border to try to boost her schedule. The One, a copycat ABC star-search series, was one of the biggest bombs ever, yanked after two weeks in the States.
Right idea, wrong show. CBC will have to take more chances if it wants to stay in the TV business, and Canadian nationalists be damned.
Otherwise, all that Canadian-made content they have lined up for next week -- Moses Znaimer's new gossip magazine comedy Rumors (Sunday), Chris Haddock's new crime drama Intelligence (Monday) and the South African-based medical drama Jozi-H (Friday, Oct. 13) -- is doomed.
The hard lesson for CBC programmers is you can't launch new shows if nobody is watching your network. Ask former WB executives.
The prospect of losing the one top-20, million-viewers-a-week-plus show on your schedule -- leaving a huge 400-hour programming hole -- is like Fox losing American Idol, times a billion.
It is condo time at 205 Wellington West. It is game over for CBC.

LaHood joins DLA Piper — Several safety events today — Rail group questions DOT on tank cars
Featuring Scott Wong, Kathryn A. Wolfe and Kevin Robillard
BREAKING OVERNIGHT — LaHood joins DLA Piper: Former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood is joining DLA Piper as a senior policy advisor in the firm's D.C. and Chicago offices. LaHood's former chief of staff at DOT, Joan DeBoer, will be a policy advisor with the law firm that employs over 4,000 lawyers in 30 countries around the world. This might be the job LaHood hinted about recently when, at the announcement of his joining Building America's Future, he implied there was more on the horizon. "Ray and Joan bring essential government, management and policy experience to the firm that will help us further assist our clients in the areas of infrastructure, structured finance, energy and transportation," top DLA official Roger Meltzer said of the duo.
Story Continued Below
TODAY IN TRANSPO — State highway safety report: Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety's 11th annual state safety ranking is out today. The 56-page report makes the case for why action is needed — 2.36 million people were injured in car crashes in 2012, costing $230 billion in property damage and lost productivity — and then ranks the states on progress implementing 15 key safety laws. There's a long way to go — the group finds that it needs 333 new state laws to get all states and D.C. in compliance with its safety recommendations, for example.
And more: Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx talks to reporter after a tour of the Port of L.A. and West Basin Rail Yard project. Acting NHTSA Administrator David Friedman makes "an important announcement concerning child passenger safety" during a speech, DOT says. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz speaks at the Washington Auto Show.
MAILBAG AND REPLY — Rail tank car safety meeting: The Railway Supply Institute has written Foxx about what exactly was decided at the recent "call to action" meeting on safer transportation of crude oil. "Both industries agreed to do further improvements to the [Association of American Railroads] revised train car standards within 30 days and so we will see recommendations on that within that period of time," Foxx said on a call with reporters last week. In its letter to Foxx, the RSI Committee for Tank Cars referenced the commitment and complained that "tank car manufacturer and owner representatives appear excluded from this activity." The group also said its request to attend the meeting was denied by DOT. Letter: http://politico.pro/1anNNxI
API as well: The American Petroleum Institute, which participated in the meeting, has also disputed Foxx's characterization of the tank car recommendations. API spokesman Brian Straessle said the parties did not commit to issuing recommendations on tank car improvements within 30 days. "What secretary Foxx did say or should've said is that there was an agreement that we'd begin looking at this stuff but not that there would be on the table brand new within 30 days," Straessle said.
DOT's side: A DOT spokeswoman said the agency will respond to RSI directly, but noted that last week's meeting was one of many. "This particular meeting's primary focus was on near-term steps the rail and petroleum industries could take alongside DOT to improve safe transportation generally and was not specific to tank car regulations. RSI and others will have ample opportunity to comment on improved standards for the tank cars as we look across the board at improving the safe shipment of crude," she said in a statement.

VITTER RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR: The top Republican on the Senate EPW Committee in charge of a water bill and the bulk of the surface transportation measure is running for governor of Louisiana. David Vitter took over the ranking member job from Jim Inhofe, who faced GOP term limits on the panel.
Scott and Andrew Restuccia have more on how WRDA can play in the race: "The final bill, now being negotiated by House-Senate conferees, is expected to authorize more than $950 million for wetlands restoration and flood protection along the Louisiana coast — projects crucial to voters who won't soon forget about the destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Hundreds of millions of dollars more could be authorized for the deepening of the Sabine Neches Waterway on the Louisiana-Texas border. With Congress's approval numbers in the gutter, Vitter will have another chance this year to show constituents he's actually getting something done in Washington. He'll team up with Boxer to try to reauthorize the highway and transit bill before it expires in September, though the Louisiana senator has vowed that tax hikes won't be part of the solution." http://politico.pro/1eoSx4w
Bonus: Janet Kavinoky, director of transportation infrastructure for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said Vitter's interest in running for governor comes as no surprise, but that even if he departs the Senate to become a governor, it's still good news for transportation. "Whether he's governor or senator, he certainly has an interest in making sure that Louisiana has the resources and the kind of policy environment it needs to invest in infrastructure," she said, noting that Louisianans understand how important ports and waterways are to their state. "I would think that he's got all the more reason to make sure that they're getting a WRDA bill done, and getting a surface transportation bill done."

It is clear that Bashar al-Assad will not leave office of his own volition, and that he will not support the peaceful measures which would pave the way for the democratization of Syria.
Obviously, Ankara has lost all hope for a peaceful resolution. Ankara's call to Turks to leave Syria could be a signal that the clashes in Syria are likely to escalate and that probability of external intervention is increasing.
When the Arab Spring got off the ground, the regimes in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia were rapidly overthrown. Libya did not have a regular army. Once NATO intervened, Qaddafi's weak army disintegrated swiftly. It turned out that Qaddafi's empty threats had no basis whatsoever.
Egypt was well equipped with a strong and regular army. However, the Egyptian army abandoned Mubarak, triggering his fall. Later on, the military imposed its own rule on the Egyptian political scene.
The case of Syria is different. Although there are defections from the Syrian army, it is still impossible to predict the wide disintegration we saw in Libya. Assad still has control over his armed forces. Assad's army continues to bomb its own people. It carries on besieging rebellious cities and a general crackdown.
The Assad regime gets its strength from the backing of Iran, Russia and China, and it is clear that the civil strife gripping Syria will worsen with the collapse of the Syrian army and waning Russian and Chinese support.
Syria is rapidly heading toward ethnic and sectarian war, one that Turkey should be certain to avoid. This is not Turkey's war. Turkey has no national interest in leading a military intervention on behalf of the West. Such involvement will become a source of hostility with our neighbors that will last years.
Ankara must become aware of attempts to export a potential Syrian civil war to Turkey. If friendship and brotherhood matters to Ankara, then it should confine its involvement merely to humanitarian assistance. Turkey should provide shelter for the refugees and supply humanitarian aid. Turkey should only be involved in a cross-border operation if it receives UN authorization, and if that happens, only to deliver aid.
Turkey has a sociological structure similar to that in Syria. Even if Ankara isn't actually considering involving itself in a military operation, it must keep in mind that there are those who would be eager to spread the fire to our side of the border. We should develop policies in accordance with Ataturk's motto: "peace at home, peace with the world."

If you have a male ancestor who was born in the 1830s or 1840s, you may use this guide to see if he served in the Civil War. Most who served were in their late teens or early twenties but could have been older or younger. Union military units existed for every state except South Carolina, and these units kept records. To find records, you need to know at least the name of your ancestor and the state where your ancestor lived when the war started in 1861.
Search service records to find the military unit
Military service records may give the rank, dates of service, place of residence prior to enlistment, age, place of birth, physical description, and date and place of death or discharge. To locate your Civil War soldier or sailor check the:
1. Civil War Soldiers & Sailors System Records Origin
2. Check each state for an index to the Compiled Military Service Records. These can be searched by name at fold3. This site is free at the Family History Library. The National Archives microfilm indexes at the Family History Library are available on the 2nd floor. They have also been copied into books located on the 3rd floor:
3. Microfilm. For help in finding the microfilm number, go to the military records section of the US/Canada Reference areas. Find the book Register for Federal United States Military Records. Volume 2: The Civil War, pages 57–115. FHL book 973 M2de. Look alphabetically for the state for where your ancestor may have served. Select the microfilm that would alphabetically contain the name of your ancestor.
4. Book. Find FHL Book 973 M29h. The Roster of Union Soldiers, 1861 1865. 33 vols., Janet B. Hewett, ed. Wilmington, N.C.: Broadfoot Pub., 1997–2000.
2. Look for your ancestor's service record in the Compiled Military Service Records.
These records are available online at fold3. This website is free at the Family History Library.
If your ancestor enlisted in a unit for the Union army in a southern or western state, see volumes 2 and 4 of the Register of Federal United States Military Records, mentioned above, for microfilm numbers to find their service records.
If your ancestor enlisted in other states, you must request copies of the record from the National Archives. There is a fee for this service.
Complete the NATF Form 86 National Archives Order for Copies of Military Service Records. Copies of the form are available online at https://eservices.archives.gov/orderonline/start.swe?SWECmd=Start Send this form to:
Old Military and Civil Records (NWCTB-Military),
Textual Archives Services Division,
National Archives & Records Administration,
700 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20408-0001
Search for your ancestor's pension records.
Pension records contain information on a soldier's military service, wife and children, and place of residence. The Federal Government issued pensions to veterans and their widows who met the eligibility requirements. Not all veterans received a pension.
1. Find the application or pension numbers you need in order to request Union pension records (pension files). The actual files have not been microfilmed, but the indexes are available at the Family History Library, fold3 and Ancestry.com.
5. First search the index General Index to Pension Files, 1861–1934 (FHL films 540757–41300.) It is alphabetical by the name of the veteran.
If your ancestor was alive between 1907 and 1933, search this index:
6. Veteran's Administration Pension Payment Cards, 1907–1933. (FHL films 1634036–1636574). It is alphabetical by the name of the veteran and widow.
2. Obtain copies of a pension file from the National Archives.
Complete the form, which is available online at https://eservices.archives.gov/orderonline/start.swe?SWECmd=Start NATF Form 85D National Archives Order for Copies of Federal Pension or Bounty Land Warrant Applications.
Send the completed form to the same National Archives address on the previous page.
For additional pension information, see the U.S. Military Records Research Outline, pages 7 and 29–30.
Look for additional information about Civil War records in the National Archives on their Web site:
Search other sources.
Look for additional information about Civil War records in the FamilySearch Research Wiki at www.familysearch.org under the Learn tab. Search the topic United States Civil War and click on the link to Union records.
These can also be found in the Family History Library Catalog under the name of the state and the topic Military Records—Civil War 1861 1865.
Search the records of veteran organizations and lineage societies.
Read the Family History Library's U.S. Military Records Research Outline, pages 32–33 for help in finding information on veteran organizations and lineage societies.
If your ancestor survived the war, he may have joined a veteran's organization like the Grand Army of the Republic.
Look in the records of such organizations because they may provide biographical information about their members.
Check with the state archives, historical society, or state library for any available records of the state in which your ancestor lived after the war. See the research outline for the state where your ancestor lived for the addresses.
A descendant of your ancestor may also have joined a lineage society like the Sons of Union Veterans, or Daughters of Union Veterans.
Contact their national headquarters for information.
Use the Sons of Union Veterans Web site: www.suvcw.org.
