Have you ever found a person in your tree and asked yourself "how are we related"? I know I have. In fact, many of you have asked for something that would help you easily find an answer to that question and we've listened.
We've just added a new feature in your Ancestry.com Member Tree that will allow you to view the relationship between you and a relative in your tree. You can access this new feature by going to any person's profile page in your family tree and clicking "View relationship to me". I decided to give it a try for my relative Braxton Cranford to see how he is related to me.
Once I clicked the link, a window appeared that returned how Braxton is related to me well as well as the trail of people who helped create the connection between us. It turns out that four people separate me and my great grand uncle Braxton. (I've blurred the names of my living relatives)
Now that I've selected to see how Braxton is related to me, I'll be able to see that relationship displayed below his name on his profile page. I can also pull up the line of people that created the connection by clicking the "View relationship to me" link again.
Another noteworthy feature is that family members you've invited to your tree will see how they're related to people in the shared tree. We calculate the relationship based on who "you" are in the tree which is sometimes different from the "home" person. If your relative looks at the tree and calculates a relationship, it will be based on who his relative is in the tree.
As I've used this new feature it's been great to relate more directly to the people in my tree. Braxton isn't just a name anymore; he's my great grand uncle.

What a terrific feature – I love it! Thank you for adding this.
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Ancestry.com, Nancy Day, Valerie Craft, Beth, RankinGraphicDesign and others. RankinGraphicDesign said: RT @Ancestrydotcom: Find out how you are related to other people in your Ancestry.com Member Tree http://bit.ly/bhnFlU […]
I really like this feature and I hope that you will consider some improvements. 1) Make this an automatic feature. I don't understand why this needs to be turned on for each and every profile page, but at the same time can't be turned off. 2) Add on to this so that two individuals of my choosing, not including myself, can be compared.
Correction: this feature can be turned off, but also, only one page at a time. It would make more sense to me if this feature could be turned on or off on the Tree Settings page.
I agree with Valerie. The feature is a good one, but being able to compute the relationship between any two individuals would be desirable.
for some odd reason it won't work for me. Using the latest Firefox browser.
Valerie #3 and Bob #6, the window for calculation clearly gives you the option to choose anyone in the same tree to calculate relationship for (with the person whose page you are looking at).
You need only go to the person overview page for anyone you want to calculate a relationship for, and then click on the link to make a calculation, then either type in name of the other individual or click on the link to go to your tree list.
Be sure to click on the link below the miniwindow that says "not you?" when done, before closing the calculator window.
Yes, please make this a setting that can be turned on or off for the whole tree… not one profile at a time.
well well… now it works! =)
hmmm… this may come in handy. Thanx Ancestry!
Great feature, but now you can not add a record to a person with out starting a new tree,just like Ancestry get something new and lose something.get the bugs out before putting it on line
MEH! This actually is only sometimes working. Some individuals the calculating popup doesn't appear, other individuals it does. weird. stupid java. i swear it would be alot nicer if the java language didn't include so much imagery in its functionality.
Nice addition. Glad to see it rolled out so quickly.
hlebowicz re: #11
Can you give a bit more detail? I just added the 1880 census record to my great grandfather and had no trouble with it.
This is an awesome feature! For some reason it doesn't work with a few people, but it does for most! Thanks!!
I am completely excited about this addition! Thank you!
Jen, this seems to be working well.
So glad you and the team listened to the users' expressed desire for ability to calculate relationships ~between~ tree members, not just relationship to the "home" individual.
The simple display of nearest common ancestor, also requested by users, is also well done 😀
This looks really flexible, and will be useful and/or interesting for many.
This new feature is the greatest thing you've done in the last year. I've been playing with it all morning.
If you would change anything, I personally would like to see the addition of Fraternal and Maternal added to the grandparents, great grandparents, great great granparents. At present it only shows 1st grandfather, 2nd grandfather, 3rd grandfather on either side. Otherwise if that couldn't be done, don't change a thing.
So many times I've received a message from a public member wanting to know how I'm related to someone in my tree. I check into their question, and since I don't use FTM I don't have a relaltionship feature in my software. Sometimes it is real obvious to me how I'm related, other times is it obscure. I feel so stupid having to respond to thier question "My relationship must be a far distance, because I'm unable to see how". Plus they don't like that kind of a response. I've seen members complain in the Blog regarding that type of remark.
Now when someone sends me a message about how I'm related to the person in my tree I can give them a authentic answer.
Hooray ancestry, thank you.
I have FTM with this feature already on it, but now I don't have to leave the profile page to find the relationship. Thank you! So far, the only problem I've encountered is when you are related to a person more than once, it will only show you how you are related through one line and that may not be the line you would choose to display.
Janet #19, the calculator is biased to show the closest relationship.
It also appears to be male-chauvinist. I am a descendant of distant cousins who married – each being a few generations in descent from a brother and a sister. Their child, my great-grandmother, is only shown by the calculator as descendant of the brother, even though her maiden name was the married name of the sister. 🙁
PS to #20 — this is especially amusing since the one parent one can usually be certain about is the one who gave birth to the child (present IVF and other technologies excepted).
This new feature is totally awesome! Now I don't feel so silly working on these family connections for hours, days, even weeks and not being able to answer the simple question…"How is this person related to me?" It is an instant illustration of why we do all this hard work to preserve our histories…because we are family.
This is a GREAT feature…..Now can you make this a preference that will allow you to show this on ALL relatives with one click or do you have to do it "one at a time."
AND how bout making this available on the sidebar of the family members…so it will show who you are related to….
Wow, I love this addition!
Want to be able to show (using my computer/email address) relationships for family that visits and uses my computer…but each time (when turned off then on) the relationship only for me. If it cleared each time it was turned off, then allowed selection of "Home Person" or place to write name…kind of like using direction on a map on the internet…Love this new capability!
Thank you for developing his feature. It is very helpful and will save me time.
Thanks so much for this! Just like FTM. And it's about time, I have to say. Your web designer ROCKS.
I am one of those people who ask you several times to please add this feature to Ancestry.com. I also was always going to my FTM program to see just how I was related to somebody. What you have done is better than I ever expected. A big THANK YOU to all of you.
I love this new feature!!! I would always have to go to Family Tree Maker to figure out how I related to others. Now I can find out with just a "click". Thank you.
Love the feature. My only complaint is that I am in a legal same-sex marriage. When calculating how my partner's family relates to me, it automatically says something like "grandmother of husband." Consider making it generic by saying "grandmother of spouse." Thank you.
Great to see this added. I'm one of the people who made a request for this feature not long ago in the forum and got a lot of heat from some members. (Stock holders who don't want to see to many features added to ancestry online because they think it will hurt the sales of the family tree maker program)
Only problem is it's not working for me. I see the link is there but when I click it nothing happens, no new window popup. I have popup blocker and adblock disabled in Firefox. Also tried it in IE and same thing. Nothing.
I'm sure it's just a temp bug. Very happy to see this feature.
This is GREAT!! Love it! Makes it so much easier and quicker to find out relationships!! This is helping me so many ways in my tree!!
I haven't tried the new feature on relationships, but something is really kinky. Can't save records to people in my tree—sometimes.
Love the View relationship to me.
Kewl! I think that this could really help those family members that aren't into genealogy like most of us are. This a really great addition. I am somewhat surprised by some comments on here. Especially by those that were worried about turning Ancestry.com into an full-blown genealogy application. Btw, it has been a de-facto program for a long time.
Ahh. it's working now. Very Awesome!! Keep up the good work and listening to the users opinions Thanks!!
Thank You Thank You Thank You for the relationship calculator. Genealogy has always been fun, but this makes it even better.
Now THAT … is cool. Thanks so much for a great update!
I love, love, love this feature. I made an error linking the wrong family to my tree and this feature has helped me correct that. Thank you for making a seemingly impossible task easier!
I love it! There are, of course, a couple of problems. 🙂 1. It isn't always showing me the closest relationship. (Example: Catherine, sister of an ancestress, was my 8x great-grandaunt. She was also married to my 7x great-granduncle. The in-law relationship, being shown here, is not as close as the blood relationship, in my opinion.) Recalculate doesn't help. 2. The calculator doesn't make any distinction between relationship to siblings and to half-siblings. 3. The box won't come up for some people. In one case, both of the parents show as my cousins. 4. The relationship displayed on the profile sometimes has disappeared when I re-visit a page. I'd also like to be able to turn them all on in tree settings.
Peggy Re: #40
The in-law relationship is actually the closer due to the fact that you 7x great-granduncle is a closer blood relative to you that your 8x great-grandaunt.
Fantastic!! I am so grateful for this feature, which I know I will use frequently. Thank you :).
Andy, re: #41
You mean a blood relationship doesn't trump an in-law connection? Seems strange.
Peggy Re: #43
In most cases it does-except when the in-law is married to a closer blood relative. Had she not married your 7x great-granduncle but instead been the second wife of your 9x great-granduncle then her relationship as your 8x great-grandaunt would be the closer relationship.
This feature does not always work. I have had it fail using Safari and IE-8.
Thanks for the clarification as to how to compare any 2 individuals. It's a great feature.
I would like to suggest another feature. There ought to be some way to accomodate adoptive parents or foster parents, so that both the birth parent and the guardian parent can be included in the family description. Currently, the only way to include them is to make a faux marriage of the child's birth parent with the child's foster parent.
The occurrence is frequent in my tree.
Ever since this new feature the "search record" pointer indicates a different person in my tree. Quite confusing … more testing required prior to taking changes into production.
Wow! What a timesaver! I love it…whoever came up with that idea and set it into motion should get a pay raise…well, that would probably raise the rates of ancestry membership…whatever! 🙂
Unfortunately, I seems your latest rounds of updates have come at a price – I cannot attach any records to people without it trying to make me start a new tree with that person. I cannot save records to people (aside of through the "hints" if I am lucky enough to have them show up there, that is the ONLY way to have them save to the person) since your update.
This is a poor price to pay to find out the relationship to someone you are researching.
Surely there is a better way to test updates than with the system that the consumers use. I feel like a guinea pig.
I have greement with Scott#49 and Elissa#49.
The green *return to* arrow after looking at something is showing a different person than who is on the profile. This doesn't seem to have a negative outcome, but is confusing.
Also, use caution when locating a record, attaching to a husband, with the option of also including the attachment to the wife. Everytrhing looks fine prior to clicking for the record to attach. Unfortunately the after effect is a 'new person profile' is made under the *married name* of the wife with the record attached there. Thus, a new duplicate person is made. I only caught the glitch because I always look to see if the record attached properly…
Not good….
Worshacf, #50 – your second point may not be entirely a glitch.
If there is something about a spouse that you've already entered, that seems significantly different to the computer (name spelling, age more than 2 years different, birthplace — are possibilities), the computer coding "acts" like the spouse shown in a Census enumeration is a new person.
If you know that the primary person to whom you are saving the record already has a spouse entered, and you think the spouse shown in the record is the same person — but when you go to "save" there is no light-colored box on the right indicating that the computer is about to allow you to save to an ~existing~ person/spouse, you will have the computer create a new person/spouse if you click on the info box for this person on the left.
If you do not see the shadowy box on the right, by all means click to save the other logical persons in the household, but not on the box for the spouse. Instead, when you're done with the first stage, either backspace twice to get to the purported "record" page for the enumeration, then click on the spouse's name; then use the upper-left link to "save to someone in my tree." You might then get a small window to type in the spouse's name and get a drop-down of similar names to select from, but you might be taken to your List of People.
From your List of People, use the search boxes at upper right *within the list* in the green area to find the person you have entered as spouse (you can search by just first name or just surname if you wish). Then when you get the list, click to "select" the right spouse; you will then be taken to the encoded page to save the purported record to the person you selected, and can edit info on that person if you wish.
Jade, I am not a novice at this, of course I know how to have a secondary person attach properly. I am aware that if a small detail doesn't match it will make a 'new person profile' but this was not the case.
Regarding my last comment with the problem I referred to in comment #50: Everything was perfectly aligned to have the record attach to the wife. The husband did not have another spouse, the light colored box showed the wife with her given name (a match), her maiden surname, and the year and location of birth (also a match) with the record's green box. The end result was a 'new person profile'.
Gremlins running rampant!
I've seen weird but this beats all I've ever seen.
I posted screen shots just to prove I wasn't going crazy.
Andy, that IS REALLY WEIRD.
The return person being different from the profile person in the green return rectangle is what Robert Strain #48 and I (on comment#50) were referring to earlier, but we only had one computer being viewed.
You have two computers going with the same person's profile up, and yet two different names showing in the green arrow return rectangle. How can that happen???
In addition, don't you think it is odd that strange stuff like this always seems to happen after the tech support staff go home and won't be back until Monday morning?
I don't find the weekly Gremlin Romp Festival strange at all. They usually roll out code late on Thursday night/early friday morning. It takes a while to realize there is a problem then takes a while for that info to filter up, down, or sideways to the people who can actually fix the problem- by that time the coders- those who can actually fix the problem- are gone.
What they should do is change their roll out days to Tuesday nights so they have the rest of the week to fix the problems- and there are ALWAYS problems.
One thing I would suggest: If you notice a problem do not post about it on one of the message boards until you have sent an e-mail to the appropriate department head, be it Kenny Freestone, David Graham, Duff Wilson, Tony Macklin, or whoever. Then post the problem you are seeing to the appropriate board AND post the name of the person you notified at Ancestry.
That lets everyone know Ancestry has been notified of the problem.
#54 worshacf:
Maybe they plan it that way because they know they are going to have problems, and they want a weekend off before they have to face them.
All kiding aside, it is still a bit kinky but I'm dealing with it. Still have not checked relationships. That utility has been on my home program at least 8 years. Andy always has good suggestions. I have learned a lot from him.
The "return to" issue seems to be solved – at least I hope so, although it was just a minor annoyance, seeing a different name then the one I was working on.
I just wish that anything "new" such as the "view relationships" button was placed to the right of the "search historical records" button – something I use constantly, but must now take that extra second to switch my focus to a different location, compared to something I would use far less often.
Just a thought…….
Spoke too soon! The "return to" issue has not been solved! All Hallows Eve is coming!!
worshacf, your #52 — I know it can be tedious to describe exactly what led to a strange result.
My reply #51 was based on guessing what you did not say – as a possibility.
What you state happened in #52 does look like a glitch.
The "return to" disparity issue has been noted by users for a couple of months now. No Ancestry.com staff or manager has acknowledged it as a problem or said they are looking into it.
Since it appears to be intermittent from tree searches, it would be hard to diagnose. Could be a hard drive deteriorating, a corrupted *.exe file or something else.
Jade, Thanks for offering up suggestions. Most of your original reply didn't apply to my situation because the record I was working with was a Scotland census, therefore had no sidebar as you so nicely described.
Return to green arrow rectangle still showing wrong name, but it doesn't seen to have a negative affect, I suppose ancestry will figure that out at some point.
I am so thankful for this update. However, I did have the same problems listed above. I haven't checked today yet to see if it is doing the same thing.
Great new feature, many thanks! However, I'm also experiencing the same glitches mentioned above.
Any name in quotes ie " nickname" doesn't work!
Gary Berlucchi #63
Names with nicknames included in quotes workes without problem in my tree.
Try setting up the profile of the person in this order:
(given name) John
(middle name) Wilbur
(nickname) "Jack"
(last name) McDougall.
Now request the relationship to calculated. It should work.
Thanks worshacf. I tried that and it still doesn't work. I am on a Mac using Safari. The browser might have something to do with the problem!
64 worshacf –
No one in my tree who had quotation marks anywhere in their name worked. I had to remove the marks, caluclate, and put the marks back afterwards. I use FF 3.5.10 but chekced on IE8 and it didn't work there, either.
Gary Berlucchi #63 & 65
I have a iMac (OS 10.6.4) computer and Safari (5.0.2) as my browser.
I don't have any problem using the relationship feature. Since last comment in this blog I went in to verify for sure, and requested relationship calculation with several more people in my tree with the nickname in quotes; worked just fine.
Yes, clever of you to accomplish the task. There's always a way to get the job done…
#66 Jo
Relationship calculation was fine on my IE8 box until I installed a few third party programs & manually modified IE8's settings (don't remember which ones). Calculation doesn't work now – I'm trying to figure out the reasoning with no success yet… Any help (what must be set) is gladly appreciated.
The "return to" button problem has not been resolved. And the view relationship button should be to the right of the search for historical records button, as someone else mentioned, because I am having the same problem … used to using that search link so much that I keep hitting the relationship button. Please fix it.
Well, I do see that it is not yet perfect. I'd like greater ease in comparing two people's relationship to each other. For example, who is my 2nd cousin 2X removed to my great grandchild? That being said, the exciting feature saves me so much time! I have been writing long paragraphs in the comment sections of people to explain who they are to me. Now I point and click. Yet another reason to love Ancestry.com. Thank you so much!
This new feature is awesome! I love it!
Names that have nicknames is quotes don't work on Safari. I edited the name and removed the quotes " ". It was then able to calculate. I then re-edited and reentered the quotes.
Should not have to do this, but it's at least a work-around.
I, too, have a problem with people using " in their names. The brother's relationship works just fine. Must be a Java problem. I use Chrome mainly.
Thank you this is great, just what i've been wanting to see~
It's okay for now, but…
Thinking i'd rather have an On/Off flag setting for the whole tree at the Tree Settings / Who you are in this tree.
I really like the new "view relationship to me" that was added. Now I don't have to write down all my ancestors and their ancestors to find out how I am related to one of my relations and then look in one of my paper relationship charts to figure the relationship.
Thank you for a great added help to Ancestry.com
Still having problems attaching a census to one of my people. Seems to be the 1860 one. Oh well, maybe tomorrow…?
I also get the odd name in the green box, "Return to —–" but even with wrong name, it does go back. Got a few other kinky problems but I have been working around them.
These problems just occured after the new feature roll out. They are so random and odd that I can't find patterns in them, other than the ones described above, and even they are not consistant.
Oops! I spoke too soon. I can't save anything to anyone!!!
#22 Lauralynn I wholeheartedly agree with your (as well as most others) comment!
The other thing I love about the relationship calculator connecting 'me' to 'them' is that I DO feel more ATTACHED now. Earlier it was 'ho-hum' just another name with a few dates and facts, but nothing that bonded me to that 'person'.
Many thanks for this feature.
The relationship calculator is not working and the return-to button is still messed up. Why haven't these things been fixed yet?! Also, the site is running as slow as molasses. You need to get on the ball and get things running right before you brag about all the new "improvements".
Thank you so much!!! As I keep adding new information to my tree, my sister keeps asking me, "…but how are we related?" So this is great!
I am seeing extreme slowness today as well. With all the advertising that Ancestry does, it seems to me their servers should be updated with ones that can handle the traffic. What good do new subscribers do if they as well as we old ones, cannot get the information we are paying for. The slowness issue is erratic, sometimes very slow, somethings like molasses. I am having to hit the back button and start the same action on(such as saving a census record) before I can get it to move on.
This is getting so tiresome!
"Sometimes, when searching from your tree, the "return to" button displays the wrong name. If you experience this, the button, when clicked, will still take you back to the right person and we are in the process of fixing this issue as well."
It's Tuesday night, and the problem persists.
No fun trying to search for information when the person's name, date of birth and death are showing someone else! I hope this is corrected "soon"?
Didn't you see Anne Mitchell's post that it would be fixed by the end of the week?
ancestryanne (View posts) Posted: 11 Oct 2010 10:23PM GMT
Classification: Query
We have identified the issue with the wrong name appearing in the Return to Button, when you do a search from your tree.
If you click on the button, it will take you back to the correct, person, the name just sometimes appears incorrectly.
This should be fixed completely by the end of the week.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Anne Mitchell
Hello Mrs Jen Hodnett,
I do not use Ancestry.com site YET for my tree BUILDING. I am sure it has many Advantages, but also has some confusing/frustrating things mentioned in this article. I have enough confusion with MY OWN Mistakes. I have done something–maybe in comparing/merging duplicate people—I don't know. BUT Now I have ALOT of people showing up in my FTM saying "no direct relationship found." At the bottom of this article you ask about CURRY's in Missouri. I have a Elizabeth Ann Curry b. 1818 KY, married Joseph H Mccaslin (or Mccasland ?) BUT BOTH ARE NOW showing up as the No direct relationship found. I have 1 Curry and many Mccaslands. I have so many possible questions—I do not know what to ask. Truely, tony
Thank you Andy, I was away yesterday and hoped everything would be "normal" when I returned.
Sorry to be so "computer illiterate", but the only way I could find the "query" was to google your response.
I have enough to do keeping up with "trees" and "blogs" to figure out "boards".
But back to this problem, EVERYTHING is "wacky"! Information that comes up doesn't seem to have anything to do with the person I'm researching! Of course, I'm using "old search", which seems to be looked down upon as a "step-child" – those "old fogies" still using THAT? "Maybe if things get bad enough and we ignore it enough, they'll go to the "bells and whistles" {that never seems to do much for me} "new search"………
I have 4 trees, each starting with my and my husband's parents, so I put their names as "me" for this feature. I forgot what tree I was on and accidentally put my father-in-law as "me" in my mother-in-law's tree. How do I correct the name?
Bee, your #86. Are you seeing loads of results for names that have some of the same letters that you are searching for, but which are not spelling variants of your target name?
This is because around 9 months ago some quite misguided person(s) decided to make Soundex searching part of the 'default' mode for both OldSearch and NewSearch. If you are not familiar with the Soundex system, do an internet search for an explanation.
At least a few persons in the organization believed that you could stop the Soundex results by "unchecking" something, but this is not true. In NewSearch you can ~select~ Soundex searching, but it does not go away just because you do not choose it. In OldSearch you can ~select~ Soundex searching in "exact" mode, but there is no way to prevent it unless you go with "exact" — which defeats the whole sense of the non-exact search mode (and availability of wild-card characters does not make up for this).
I am sick of getting "Smith" results when searching for a "Sandy" surname. And now getting extreme numbers of "Mason" results for "McShane" when searching from a Tree. When searching from Tree, one can make no search-parameter choices, no matter if in NewSearch or OldSearch basic mode.
This is particularly exasperating because the search engine ranks the Soundex "equivalent" names equally with the name you started with. It does not sort results so your actual target name is listed first in the list.
Something has happened recently with OldSearch to make it even less useful. It now disregards the dates for your basic searched-for person. No matter if the person in your tree died in 1801, you will get US Civil War enlistments, 1895 New Jersey State Census items, and all manner of other impossibilities.
Since NewSearch handles date-bracketing no better, the net result is a frustrating mess of non-correlated stuff.
At least Old Search handles results-sorting by category better than does NewSearch. It was not originally designed by someone who thought 3,545,273 results were certainly better than 12.
I love this new feature too. However as some have mentioned I have a few people in my tree that are related by marriage and by blood. I would love to be able to see both relationships or even to be able to chose which relationship to show at a given time. I'm not programming savy so I don't know how hard that would be, but it sure would be nice. Thanks again for a great feature.
Thanks Jade, that seems to be what is happening, and it's a shame.
Reading comments by Bee and Jade, I too agree. My problem is that I feel I'm unable to logically and concisely explain what I'm seeing while doing a search, or whatever really. I guess I could comment with the people who have similar complaints, but it just seems redundant.
Thinking that perhaps a way to respond to comments, such as Yahoo (and others too) uses–thumbs up and down with a click. Obviously, it won't give specifics of each individual, but it will denote that others also are having troubles in that area.
For us who sit and wait–it would be so nice to have a progress update, even if it is minute, now and then. Because I normally spend a lot of hours each day at Ancestry, it a bit like being 'untethered'. I'd like to be 'touched' so that I'm aware that the caring (and hard work) is still going on!
I just realized this new feature and thought it was one of the coolest things. It makes explaining realtionships a lot easier……..thanks.
#92 Adele,
You can post a message on the message boards and add a screen shot to help show what's happening. Lots of us do this when something is too complicated to explain clearly with words alone.
This sounds great, but what about your Australian customers, as it appears we do not have this feature.
OOOOOPS!!!!! Well I just needed to do it right. We do have this feature and it is great. THANKS
I love the new added feature "how are you related". How can I can I make a copy of it without showing the background page? Carol Handley
Carol Re: #97
I'm not sure you can. I just did a screen shot and then open it in paint and trim off what I don't want.
This is the best feature I've seen added in a long time! When I needed to figure out a relationship I always had to stop and open Reunion to figure the relationship. Having it right in front of me on Ancestry is a huge help.
And thanks to those who were quick enough to realize that quotes in the name are what was causing the bug for the relationship feature not to work. I was stumped as to why I could not get the relationship for my great grandaunt Rosario "Rose" Garcia to show! It's a bit of a pain to revise the name, but working at an Internet company I know these things come up and need fixing once found.
I'll throw my vote in for the relationship display to be a global option.
Great work, Ancestry!
A great tool with some quirks! As others have remarked, sometimes one has more than one relationship to an individual, but the calculator only recognizes one. As an example, I have a female person whose husband is a third cousin 2x removed from me; however, her father is a third cousin 3x removed from me from a different line, but the calculator only recognizes her as the wife of my 3rd cousin 2x removed, and not as an actual "blood" relative. Doing a recalculation did not correct the situation.
There is no situation to correct.
The relationship calculator calculates the closest relationship-period.
A relationship (either by blood or marriage) to a third cousin twice removed is a closer relationship than to a third cousin three times removed.
Love, Love, Love this feature. Has helped me immensely in cleaning up my tree of who and who is really not related. What a great feature. Thank you!
Thanks to you all! Just found Ancestry has returned, haven't even tried it, but wanted to offer my thanks anyway!
Maybe you might consider putting who the "Common Ancestor" is in bold type. This would be useful.
I don't normally comment like this, but I just have to tell you how much I absolutely LOVE this new "how am I related feature" that's been added. It's just exactly the kind of feature that I would've asked for if I'd known it could be done.
Now, if you can just make it possible to search my tree for people by their locations, I'd be a happy camper!
Keep up the good work.

Inaccurate Statements About Exxon Mobil
In his Jan. 2 letter defending taxpayer subsidization of wind power, Sen. Bernie Sanders repeats his inaccurate claim that Exxon Mobil, one of the largest taxpayers in the United States, paid no federal income taxes in 2009.
That is not true, as we and others, including the PolitiFact truth-checking website, have told Sen. Sanders repeatedly.
He also incorrectly repeats the claim that billions in subsidies are going to the fossil fuel industry, when he's really talking about tax provisions available to all industries to support job creation and economic activity.
The fact is that Exxon Mobil is one of the largest taxpayers in the country. Over the past five years, our total U.S. tax expense was $57 billion, about $18 billion more than the company earned in the country during the same period.

'Take me to the Hilton' Photography Natascha Libbert
This is a story about man's attempt to model his surroundings to become that which he envisions as being an ideal world. It is about how a created world has become reality. I perceived this to be especially visible in places such as hotels, airports, lounges, avenues, resorts by the sea. These places seem to present man with a truth which may be difficult to live up to. Details, both subtle and paramount, can be read in the understandable attempt of man to maintain this created decor and himself in it. In the end, what remains is the undercurrent of man's alienated relationship to the world he created, a feeling of estrangement. This is what I observe as I travel. It is what this story is about. See for more wanderlust: natascha libbert ...
Dit beeldverhaal gaat over hoe mensen denken dat 't moet. Over hoe en wanneer de dingen mooi zijn. Op zoek naar een beleving en een ideaal. En daardoor ontstaan kleine of juist monumentale vervreemdingen. Dit is bijvoorbeeld zichtbaar in hotels, luchthavens, lounges, avenues, 'resorts' aan zee. De schoonheid zit 'm vaak in het onvermogen om dit decor te onderhouden, of de wijze waarop de mens zich probeert te handhaven in deze gecultiveerde werkelijkheid. Het zegt iets over de vervreemding in onze relatie met de wereld, van onze dromen en onze idealen. Ik zocht een relativering van deze maakbaarheidsdrift. In hotels, en daarbuiten.

Beyond History by Vincent Delbrouck
In a time that questions photo report VD's (aka Vincent Delbrouck) work shakes things up. He assembles recycles, decomposes and recomposes elements of his personal story to create universal photo albums, 'poetic documentaries' according to his expression. A documented journey between identity and memory, intimate diary and photo report. We are glad today to introduce an installation of a selection of photos, letters, testimonies, photocopies of 'Beyond History', a documentary VD made in Cuba between 1998 and 2006. Photography as a document, of memory. Zie voor een recensie ...

Photography blogs ...
Photography blogsPosted by Guy Lane Monday 22 June 2009 10.33 BST guardian.co.uk
'The whole point of taking pictures', according to Magnum photographer Elliott Erwitt, 'is so that you don't have to explain things with words.' Hmm, maybe so - but for photography's dedicated bloggers, his advice has fallen on stony ground. Just as the medium continues to expand at a dizzying rate, so too do the accompanying words, explanations, accounts and interpretations that photography inspires.
What must Erwitt make of Magnum's own blog where you can read conversations and interviews with such luminaries as Bruce Gilden, Alec Soth and Michael Subotzky? Or visit its archive and discover field reports from members in Washington, Abu Dhabi, Machu Picchu, Jakarta…
Another agency offering commentary on its own progress is Reuters. Check their blog for members' opinions on the issues and concerns that affect working photojournalists; and take the opportunity to see the 'overs' and extended edits that do not make it into print.
To savour something of the sweet aroma - or acrid stench - of freelance life, visit the highly enjoyable blogs of Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert in Tokyoland, and erstwhile Tabasco Kid (don't ask), Leon Neal.
Not for the first time, the future of photojournalism appears beset by uncertainty; meanwhile that of art photography seems almost robust by comparison. Jorg Colberg's brisk and intelligent Conscientious serves as a useful introduction to the work of some of the genre's more accessible exponents. As does the Aperture Foundation's Exposures blog, albeit from a more pronounced North American perspective.
It remains to be seen whether the extraordinary surge of interest in photography books in recent years will be sustained, or is indicative merely of a bubble. Until we find out, there is no better guide to all things photobook-related than Jeffrey Ladd's authoritative, comprehensive and ever-so-slightly-obsessive 5B4. If it all gets a bit too intense, head for the reviews section of the excellent Lens Culture blog for some light relief.
If you want a smattering of all of the above and equipment reviews and competition news – try two magazine blogs: Photo District News' PDNPulse and the British Journal of Photography's 1854.
For those with an interest in photography theory, No Caption Needed and (Notes on) Politics, Theory and Photography both offer thought-provoking, topical and user-friendly analyses of issues relating to contemporary photographic practice.
Finally, and in a display of shameless self-promotion, I can unreservedly recommend my own blog, found on the ever vibrant Foto8 site. Alongside book and exhibition reviews you can find my interviews with some of photography's most influential and respected practitioners, including Andreas Gursky, Susan Meiselas, Martin Parr, and Richard Misrach.
Of course there are many more out there - why not send us links to your favourites, with brief explanations of why you endorse them?

Loving Your Pictures Erik Kessels Vernacular Photography
'Loving Your Pictures' is the title of Amsterdam-based Creative Director Erik Kessels' exhibition at Arles. Something of an avid photography collector, clearly possessed with an eye for an image and a story beyond the image, Kessels' found photographic material is certainly not short on creativity. The collection, described as 'vernacular photography', brings together a series of pictures with new meanings outside their original and intended purpose.
Ubiquitous, amateur photographic accidents are imbued with an added charm: unwitting background characters from holiday snaps are turned into the subject matter of their own portraits; accidental double exposures superimpose one image on top of another; and old photo collections, rescued from the fleamarket, tell a new story, albeit simply from the repeated appearance of a dalmation or old Dutch lady in a black taxi. Click here to see a gallery of pictures from the exhibition.
This series of found pictures shows a Spanish lady photographed over the course of many years by her husband. When the series was part of an exhibition in Barcelona, the images appeared on the news and in Spanish newspapers. A woman who had previously worked with the lady in the photographs at Telefonica came forward and revealed that she was called Josephina Aparicio Iglesias, that she had passed away and had no children. Click on the image above to view the series.
Telling the story of one woman's travels around Europe from the front seat of a black taxi, this series has an air of poignancy. The taxi driver, A.J.Paetzhold took all the images except the final one in the series, taken of him by the lady from her front seat. The pictures came into Kessels' possession via the Dutch photogrpaher Andrea Stultiens, neighbours of the Paetzholds in the Dutch city of Nijmegen. When Paetzhold's wife passed away, Andrea helped clear out the house and was given a collection of images, which were subsequently given to Kessels. On closer inspection Kessels discovered the lady in the photographs (also from Nijmegen and since passed away) was disabled, hence unable to get out of the taxi on her travels. Click on the image above to view the series.
The pictures in this series are in fact self-portarits of the deer.The pictures were taken by a camera with a motion detector placed on trees in the forests, enabling the hunters to monitor the deer population. Kessels contacted an association of hunters in America who had posted images of the deer on the internet. Click on the image above to view the series.
Kessels rescued this collection of photographs from a Brussels fleamarket. Taken on The Ramblas in Barcelona by professional photographers who snapped people on the streets, the twins always appear arm-in-arm in the same position. From the dates of the photogrpahs, Kessels concludes that one of the twins died by the end of the Second World War. In the subsequent images it appears a sif a space has been left open for her by the remaining twin. Click on the image above to view the series.
These pictures were given to Kessels by his German friend and collaborator Marion Blomeyer. The beloved dalmation forms the link in each photograph, but nothing else other than its German nationality is known. Click on the image above to view the series.
'Strangers in my photo albums'
The ubiquitous people in the background of Kessels' photographs have been given their own moment in the limelight in this series. By cropping out the main subject of each image, and making the background figures the main focus Kessels has produced a series of images with a humorous, voyeuristic quality.Click on the image above to view the series.
Formed from reject photographs, Kessels has imbued these unlikely images with a significance beyond the accidental double exposures or unfortunate compositions we've all experienced, but are slowly dying out with the ruthless efficiency of digital photography. Click on the image above to see the series. Read more about Found Photography ...
Loving Your Pictures
Erik Kessels
Een vrouw die in een zwierige bloemetjesrok en hemdje in een zonnig landschap zit en in het water staart. Een stoere politieman die er toch een beetje onhandig bij staat. Een hert in een bos, met verschrikte ogen vastgenageld in fel flitslicht. Het zijn maar een paar voorbeelden van het fotomateriaal dat werd gevonden en verzameld door Erik Kessels.
In Loving Your Picturesis een aantal van die foto's van anonieme fotografen gebundeld. Ze werden door de oorspronkelijke makers nooit bedoeld als kunstwerken – het zijn kiekjes zoals we die allemaal wel eens maken –, maar ze krijgen in deze context een heel nieuwe betekenis. Door de manier waarop Erik Kessels ze gebruikt roepen ze vragen op over originaliteit en de definitie van beeldende kunst. Dit is volkomen nieuw voor Nederland.
Loving Your Pictures is een uniek boekje met ansichtkaarten van gevonden foto's, die, als je ze als kaart gebruikt, nog weer een nieuw, onvermoed leven kunnen gaan leiden. Behalve een tekst van Erik Kessels zelf bevat het boekje een beschouwing van Pauline Terreehorst.

Paul R. Moosman, Jr., Ph.D.IRB Committe Chair
P: 540-464-7433E: email@example.com
Department of Biology203 Maury-Brooke HallVirginia Military InstituteLexington, VA 24450-0304
The IRB requires that all investigators (including student researchers) must complete a free on-line training tutorial offered by the National Institute of Health prior to submitting their protocols for review by the IRB. Completing the tutorial is self-paced and it may be completed all at once or over the course of repeated visits to the site. Total time required to complete the tutorial is estimated to be about 2 to 4 hours. Investigators must include an electronic copy of their training certificate as a supporting document in their proposal to the IRB. Here is the link to the training http://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php
Initial ApprovalThe principal investigator may be asked to meet with the IRB should it be apparent that clarification or modification of statements in the application are required. No individual involved in the conduct and/or supervision of the research project shall participate in its review, except to provide information to the IRB. The IRB may approve the project as is or may approve it with certain modifications required to meet federal standards. In the latter instance, the investigator will be informed by letter. The IRB approval letter will be sent upon written receipt of the modification. The faculty advisor will be copied on any correspondence sent to student investigators.If the IRB action is to disapprove the application, reasons for this negative decision will be provided in writing to the principal investigator or project director. If the researcher decides to modify the proposed research in such a way as to meet the objections of the IRB, the investigator may resubmit the modifications of the proposal for consideration of the IRB. If desired, the investigator may request a personal hearing with the IRB Committee.
Continuing Review and Submission of Annual UpdateComplex and potentially dangerous projects will be reviewed at a frequency commensurate with the related risks. When initial approval of such a protocol is given, the IRB may indicate the need for re-evaluation of the project after a specified interval so that continued acceptance of the protocol is assured. Projects that are determined to be exempt will not require additional review. Non-exempt proposals are approved for a maximum period of one year only. For projects which continue beyond one year, it is the responsibility of the principal investigator to submit to the IRB an annual update. The first annual update is due twelve months following the date the proposal was approved and released. Upon receipt of the annual update the IRB will review and approve, if appropriate, continuation of the project for the next twelve month period. Investigators will receive one notification regarding the due date of an annual update. Failure to submit an update within 30 days following the due date will result in termination of IRB approval. Projects can be updated annually for a maximum approval period of five years. Continuation of projects beyond five years requires resubmission.If the IRB determines that a project requires review more often than annually, the investigator will be so notified. The IRB has the authority to directly observe ongoing research projects and the consent process as well as audit research records.When a project that has required continuing review is terminated/completed, the investigator must immediately notify the IRB in writing.Ongoing projects modified to include humans or animals as subjects also must be submitted to the IRB for review and approval prior to the use of such subjects. In the case of an externally funded project, the granting agency would be notified of the IRB action prior to the appropriation cycle for a budget period during which human and/or animal subject involvement is proposed.
Reporting Proposed Changes in a Research ProtocolAny proposed change in a protocol which affects the human or animal subjects must be reviewed and approved by the IRB prior to the implementation except where an immediate change is necessary to eliminate a hazard to the subjects. Investigators should submit a Request for Change in Protocol and a revised consent form as required. Minor changes during the period for which approval is in force will be reviewed by an expedited review procedure.If a change in protocol is relatively minor (e.g., change in investigator, change in the sequence of follow-up visits) it is not necessary to have the subject sign a revised consent form or an addendum to the consent form. If, however, the change is not minor (e.g., addition of an intervention not addressed in the original consent form, disclosure of a previously unidentified risk) the investigator should have all new subjects sign a revised consent form and all currently enrolled subjects who are actively participating in the protocol sign an addendum to the consent form. If the change is considered significant (e.g., disclosure of a serious risk) the use of a witness is required.
Submission of a Report of InjuryIf a subject suffers an injury, the investigator must submit a Report of Injury to the IRB within 48 hours.
Reporting Non-Compliance with IRB GuidelinesAny incident of non-compliance with IRB Guidelines should be reported immediately to the IRB. Non-compliance with IRB requirements is a violation of federal regulations for the protection of human and/or animal subjects.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Say there. We couldn't help but notice that you seem a little tired. Could you use a cup of coffee? Or perhaps three? We sure could, and according to a recent survey, that's not surprising: Editors and Writers are the fourth most coffee drinkin' folks in the U.S.
The research, which comes to us from Dunkin Donuts and Career Builder, shows that scientists and other lab professionals drink the most coffee, followed by marketing and PR people, followed by education administrators, and then ink-stained wretches. (Although now, we suppose, we're more the wretches with carpal tunnel syndrome and a Twitter problem, but we digress.)
As Bon Appetit points out, financial professionals are farther down the list (at No. 10) than we would have thought, and lawyers don't even make the top 15.

This video has some pretty good info on CFH's coaching philosphy.
He says he doesn't like to play zone, but will have to switch defenses up a little eventually. He was also asked about how he coaches Christopherson and his shooting. He responded saying that he basically leaves him alone. Also said the only time he would ever pull Scott out of the game was if he passed on an open shot. Gotta love that kind of confidence.

Kat Sweet, Sports Medicine
When a Cyclist Needs a Helping Hand
Katrina "Kat" Sweet was 43 when the accident happened.
"I've been riding mountain bikes since 1987. My dad bought me my first mountain bike. I've always loved getting out on the trails, challenging myself. There's an element of risk that is exciting," she says.
A professional cycling coach and a competitive mountain biker, Kat is the owner of Sweetlines, a business that aims to make mountain biking accessible, fun and, most of all, safe for women and children.
So safety was on Kat's mind one evening in January 2013 when she suddenly collided with another biker and nearly ended her cycling career.
"I'm really cautious in my sport. I take risks, but I'm careful about it. In 26 years of mountain biking, this was the first real, serious injury I had," Kat says.
The accident happened in Portland at an indoor cycling event. Kat wasn't a participant she had organized the event and was coaching the cyclists. That evening, she decided to go for a ride on the track, just for fun.
"I made a mistake. I followed someone too closely on the track. She went the wrong way and suddenly my front wheel slammed into her. I was up in the air, then I hit the ground. I felt my right arm just crumple under me."
The other rider was OK, but when Kat sat up, her wrist was crooked and her elbow hurt terribly. An ambulance arrived and took her to a nearby hospital. After being X-rayed, Kat learned that though she was wearing protective gear, she had dislocated and fractured her elbow, shattered her radius (the large bone in the forearm that reaches from the thumb-side of the wrist to the elbow) and dislocated her ulna (the other large bone in the forearm, which reaches from the little-finger side of the wrist to the elbow). A doctor set her dislocations and put a soft cast on her arm.
Kat's fellow coaches pulled together to make the event a success and she returned to watch the cyclists compete the next day. "I don't think anyone realized how hurt I was," she recalls.
Even Kat didn't know the full extent of her injuries, or what it would take to get her arm working like it had before.
After a friend drove her home to Seattle, Kat made an appointment with Dr. Sarah Beshlian, a hand surgeon at Northwest Hospital and part of the UW Medicine Hand, Elbow, Shoulder Center. The center, which has four locations including Northwest Hospital, treats a wide range of conditions including fractures, repetitive stress injuries, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, and nerve issues.
"It was a terrible injury. She not only had a severe fracture of the wrist, she also had an elbow dislocation. It was like something you'd see from a car accident," says Dr. Beshlian. "The doctor at the hospital in Portland performed an initial treatment, but it was obvious when she came to see me that she needed surgery."
"I was super nervous. I'd never had surgery before," Kat recalls. "
My concern for her was the high level of use that she needed from that arm for her mountain biking. She had to have a really good outcome from the surgery," says Dr. Beshlian.
Dr. Beshlian performed a two-and-a-half hour surgery on Kat's injured arm, reassembling the little pieces of broken bone and using two metal plates and seven screws to hold Kat's wrist together, as well as cadaver bone, which is used to fill in the gaps between the ends of a bone that has been fractured too severely to be reconnected. After the surgery, Dr. Kevin Smith from The Sports Medicine Clinic at Northwest Hospital treated Kat's elbow dislocation, which fortunately did not require surgery.
As soon as the surgery was over, Kat began thinking about getting back on her bike.
"Dr. Beshlian was really sympathetic about me being a professional athlete. I told her, I need to start working out as soon as possible.' So she put me in a splint rather than a hard cast so that it would be easier for me to exercise," Kat says.
Kat took about three weeks to rest and heal her arm, then began physical therapy earlier than is typical, since she didn't want her arm to get stiff or the muscles to atrophy.
She also received hand therapy at Northwest Hospital.
"In the last year, hand surgery has expanded a lot at Northwest Hospital. We've also expanded our hand therapy program. So much of the success in hand surgery depends on the patient getting rehabilitation with hand therapy," explains Dr. Beshlian.
Hand therapy initially involves teaching patients to care for their wounds and any scars, then helping them restore their range of motion and strength through simple exercises. In addition to fractures and dislocations like Kat's, hand therapy also treats conditions such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis and inflammatory disorders, and problems caused by neurologic conditions such as strokes.
"Hand surgery is not all about operations. My goal is to get people back to good function and give them relief from pain," says Dr. Beshlian.
Kat had to work hard to be able to use her hand for everyday activities, much less get back on mountain trails.
"It was incredibly painful, but I knew I had to do it to get back on my bike," she says. "Within two weeks, I was back in the gym doing light workouts. Within two months, I was back on a street bike. In three months, I was mountain biking again. Within four months of the accident, I was doing small jumps on my bike, and at the six month mark, I was downhilling and doing big jumps."
Eight months after her injury, Kat returned to competition.
"It was great to be back out there. I didn't do as well as I used to, but I know I have to give myself time to get it all back," she says.
"After an injury like this, her arm will never be 100 percent like it was. But she's functioning at 90 to 95 percent already, less than a year after the injury. That's pretty impressive," says Dr. Beshlian.
Kat has found a silver lining to her injury.
"Now as a coach, I'm much more empathetic about the healing process if one of my students gets hurt. It's made me a much stronger person in the long run," she says.
Kat also has an important message for anyone who finds themselves injured and unable to do something they love.
"Don't give up. Give yourself time to heal. It's not an easy process, but keep persevering. My wrist will never be the same, but I'm doing the same things I did before the accident. I love my sport. It's my way of making a difference in the world."

Anglers' aid urged in sea-life effort
Goal is expansion of marine reserves
Background: The 1999 Marine Life Protection Act calls for revamping California's network of marine protected areas, which are designed to safeguard sea life by banning or limiting fishing and other seafood harvesting.
What's changing: Stakeholders representing fishermen, environmentalists and other interested parties are meeting in San Diego this week to continue revising the Southern California portion of that system.
The future: The state Fish and Game Commission is expected to complete its work in this region next year.
The latest region in California's restructuring of its marine reserves is Southern California, which includes:
5 counties (San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara)
33 species of cetaceans
480 species of fish
2,355 square miles of ocean
5,000 species of invertebrates
SOURCE: California Department of Fish and Game
The idea seems outrageous: asking commercial and recreational anglers to divulge their best fishing spots to a nonprofit conservation group called Ecotrust.
But that's what state officials are doing to give fishermen a greater – and more scientifically sound – voice in the high-stakes process of expanding California's marine protected areas, which ban or limit fishing and other seafood harvesting to safeguard sea life.
Despite initial skepticism, fishermen credit Oregon-based Ecotrust with mapping the most valuable fishing zones and helping decision-makers lessen the economic effects of expanding harvest restrictions.
"With (three decades) that I have been involved in fishery issues, the governing bodies haven't really taken into account the socioeconomic value of our fisheries," said Dave Yarger, a commercial salmon fisherman based in Bodega Bay. "They have really come forward and addressed it" by using Ecotrust.
Roughly 1,200 commercial and recreational anglers statewide – including more than 850 in Southern California – have contributed information to Ecotrust.
The group's leaders will unveil some of their first maps for Southern California today during a public meeting of government officials, ecologists, seafood industry representatives and others at the Holiday Inn on the Bay in downtown San Diego. The participants serve on a state-sponsored panel that will spend most of 2009 redrawing marine protected areas from Point Conception in Santa Barbara County to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Ecotrust's charts are pivotal in balancing the environmental benefits of new or expanded marine reserves with the financial and recreational effects, said Melissa Miller-Henson, program manager for the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative.
The initiative stems from a 1999 state law to bolster marine conservation along California's 1,100-mile coastline.
That legislation doesn't require regulators to consider economic factors, but Miller-Henson said the Fish and Game Commission wanted to hear from fishermen because they're already grappling with other harvest regulations. Ecotrust was tapped to provide data that are more detailed and comprehensive than anecdotal evidence from a handful of industry representatives.
State officials have divided the marine protected areas into five regions. Southern California is the third area to be reassessed, after the central and north-central coasts.
Most recently, Ecotrust helped the state enlarge its system of marine reserves in the north-central area – from near Point Arena in Mendocino County to Pigeon Point in San Mateo County – while limiting the economic fallout.
The panel that revamped the north-central network repeatedly looked at Ecotrust's maps during its work, said Astrid Scholz, a vice president for Ecotrust.
"There were numerous examples of where lines were shifted to maintain fishing areas and protect habitat," Scholz said. "The result was a significant decrease in estimated economic impacts."
Her group's work could prove even more valuable in Southern California, the region widely seen as having the most complex mix of interests. Dozens of groups will jostle for maximum influence during the revamping process.

A few weeks ago, when Valerie and I had dinner at Open City, Val ordered the tofu scramble and pointed out that the restaurant's addition of tahini to the scramble gives it a distinctly "feta" like flavor. Curious, I took a bite: feta was one of the animal foods I used to enjoy, and I love the idea of re-creating its saltiness and creaminess in a vegan dish.
Well, Valerie was quite right: the tofu scramble at Open City tastes a whole lot like feta, but without the cheese itself. For the last few days, I've been mulling over how I might create my own spin on a chickpea+tofu scramble using tahini; a tofu-hummus scramble, if you will, since those are the dominant flavors. I came up with the following recipe, which is simple, quick, and extremely tasty. It's fantastic for vegans who are (for whatever reason) being mindful of their protein intake, since it marries two plant protein powerhouses, chickpeas and tofu.
I rarely experience "protein cravings" (whatever those are; I'm never really sure what others mean when they refer to them!) but I do often crave something dense and filling after a good workout or simply at the end of a busy day. I'd imagine that, whether you're new to veganism and trying to maintain a protein intake that suits your body, or whether you simply enjoy something warm and grounding now and then, this is the dish for you. It's convenience and satisfaction can't be beat!
Tofu Tahini Scramble (vegan, gluten free)
Serves 2; for athletes, growing boys and girls, or anyone who's super hungry, 1 serving is fine, too
6 oz tofu, cut into squares
1/2 cup chickpeas
1/3 cup cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp hummus of choice
1-2 tsps tamari
1 tbsp lemon juice
Coconut or olive oil
1) Brown your tofu in about 1 tsp of coconut or olive oil (or, if you have the spray, you can use that)
2) Add the chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, tahini, hummus, tamari, and lemon. Sautee until the mixture is thoroughly warmed and soft.
3) Serve. I love this over a giant green salad!
What a fantastically satisfying and savory meal! I'd love to hear what you all think. Even my mom—tofu shy as she is—was impressed.
Before I go, I have a winner of the Peas and Thank You cookbook giveaway! The lucky reader (chosen by random.org) is #504, Beth! Beth wrote, "MMMMMMMMM Sauce! I would LOVE to win this. pick me,pick me,pick me! Yay for well-coiffeured, funny-to-read vegan chefs!"
Beth, please contact me at [email protected] to coordinate your free copy!
And speaking of giveaways, remember my Take Back Your Health Giveaway? Well, if you entered and didn't win, the chance remains! Valerie is giving away another free ticket to this exciting DC health conference (in October of this year) on her block. Check it out!
Finally, thanks for all the lovely commentary on yesterday's post about restaurant dining after life with an ED. Such insight!

Great, when it worked!
This review is from: SAMSUNG T23A350 ToC Rose Black 23" 5ms Full HD LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/ DTV Tuner 250 cd/m2 DC 1,000,000:1 (1,000:1)
Pros: Crisp picture. Bright. Nice menus and overall very intuitive. It was great while it worked.
Cons: After 30 days (of course past Newegg's RMA), the system turned itself off (no, not sleep mode or anything like that). A few days later again. I've now owned it for 2 months and I can't use the tv anymore. It powers itself off and on now. I tried unplugging it for a few mins. Same problem!! I thought Samsung tv's were great! Pff!
Other Thoughts: My first and last Samsung tv! I'll stick to Sony and LG from now on! Don't buy this tv refurbished. Actually, don't buy it at all otherwise you're risking a problem much sooner than later.

Earth day events at Salt Springs, Woodbourne
Trail clean-up and Earth Day events are scheduled this weekend at Salt Springs State Park in Franklin Forks and Woodbourne Forest and Wildlife Preserve in Dimock.
Trail clean up at Salt Springs is slated for Saturday, April 20, 11 a.m. Volunteers are needed to hike the trails and clear them of trash, branches and debris. Dress for the weather and bring gloves.
Free food and t-shirts are provided for groups and individuals that pre-register. Register by email at info@friendsof saltspringspark.org or call 570-967-7275.
Woodbourne's spring clean-up day will also be held on Saturday, April 20, 9 a.m.-noon.
And on Sunday, April 21, a garlic-mustard pull-a-thon will be held, 2-4 p.m., at Woodbourne.
Invasive plants are on the move and can quickly dominate, choking out native plants if not managed. Garlic Mustard spreads quickly and can alter soil chemistry to prevent other plants from growing in an area, and deplete food for wildlife.
Spend a few hours on Earth Day and help fill as many bags as possible to remove the invasive plant from the Preserve.
It is recommended that volunteers wear gloves.
Salt Springs will celebrate Earth Day with a Cycle and Recycle event, 12:30 – 5 p.m.
Learn about household recycling; how to compost; and participate in Recycling Jeopardy and Relay Races.
Activities begin at 12:30 p.m. in the Carriage Barn; followed by a 1 p.m. talk and demonstration on household recycling.
The composting workshop begins at 2 p.m.; and build a simple compost bin at 3 p.m.
A kids' bike ride/walk up Buckley Rd. will get underway at 2:15 p.m.; and at 4 p.m., bike rides – both short and long – will traverse the roads surrounding Salt Springs.
Program fee for the Earth Day Celebration is $5 for members; $10 for non-members; and free for kids 12 and under.
Pre-registration for the composting workshop appreciated. E-mail email@example.com or call 570-967-7275.
Salt Springs Satate Park is located on off Silver Creek Rd., in Franklin Forks.
Woodbourne Forest and Wildlife Preserve is located along Rt. 29, in Dimock Twp. For more information, call 570-278-3384.
