If you could find a birth, death and marriage record for everyone in your tree, you might be the world's luckiest genealogist! Unfortunately most of us aren't that lucky. Finding vital records can be a tad difficult at times but don't throw in the towel quite yet. Below you will find some pointers for dealing with pesky vital records.
What are vital records and why are they important?
Vital records, for those that might be new to genealogy, are records that document a vital life event such as a birth, marriage or death. Finding vital records for those in your tree helps you nail down important dates, places and people. This information often leads to more discoveries, answers tough questions and helps you tell your ancestors' stories.
How do I know if a vital record exists?
The idea of birth, marriage and death certificates is fairly novel. Many places in the U.S. didn't start keeping these records at a state level until the early 1900s. Even then it sometimes took years before all regions of a given state were compliant with the law. That means that the first question you need to answer with regards to vital records is, "Does the record actually exist?"
The best tool for finding out which records are out there is the Ancestry Family History Wiki. There you will find the Red Book: American State, County and Town Sources, which covers, in detail, what records exist where. It is organized geographically. This means that if you know your ancestor was born around 1892 somewhere in the state of Oregon, you can look at the Red Book table of contents, scroll to the Oregon Family History Research link (which will give you a summary of the history of the state), and click on the sidebar link labeled Oregon Vital Records to find that, in fact, birth records were not recorded by the state until July 1903.
Now, don't feel discouraged right away, there may still be hope for your Oregonian ancestor. Although there aren't official state records for a birth pre-1903, many of these records were kept at a county or city level far before they were required by the state. That means that if you have an idea what city or county your ancestor was born, married or died in, a vital record might still exist.
For example, say you have an inkling that your ancestor's parents were living in McMinnville in Yamhill County just prior to his birth. You can go to the Oregon County Resources page and find a handy chart which shows what year each county started recording various types of records. In this case, you've struck gold! Yamhill County started keeping vital records in 1871, prior to your ancestor's birth.
Now that you know your ancestor's birth record could exist you just have to find it. Unfortunately, although we live in the era of technology, not everything is available online. Even if you know that birth record might exist it might not yet be digitized or accessible on Ancestry.com.
Your next step is going to the Ancestry Card Catalog to find the database which would contain that record. In the Card Catalog, similar to a library's card catalog, use the filters on the left-hand side of the screen to help narrow down the record sets you are looking for to get to the one that might be a winner. In this case, click "Birth, Marriage & Death" then filter by location clicking "USA > Oregon." You now have a list of all databases that contain birth, marriage or death information for people associated with Oregon.
Another way to determine what is online is by using the place pages. Go to the Oregon place page by scrolling to the bottom of the search page, click on the state of Oregon from the map, and see what "Oregon Birth, Marriage & Death" records are available.
Now, I'll save you some time and tell you that, unfortunately, we don't have a database of birth records for the state of Oregon (yet). So what are your options? Well, you can contact the County of Yamhill and ask for your ancestor's record. If it exists, they will send you a copy of the record, usually for a nominal fee.
What are some alternatives if I can't find a record or one doesn't exist?
So what happens if your ancestor wasn't living in Yamhill County? What if he was in Washington County instead, where births weren't documented until 1907? Well, then it's time to look at some alternatives. Below are some alternatives to traditional birth, marriage and death records – other places where you can find the information about those vital events in your ancestors' lives:
- Birth Dates
- Although they may not be primary sources for birth information, both marriage and death records often include birth dates and places
- For the years between 1850-1930, the U.S. federal censuses include ages for everyone in the household – this means with some basic math you can pin down a birth year and go from there.
- The 1900 U.S. Federal Census asked for the month and year of birth as well as ages.
- If your ancestor served, military service records and pension files often include birth dates and, sometimes, include birth details for family members as well. Even if your ancestor was not in the military, World War I Draft Records and World War II "Old Man's Draft" Records also contain birth date and place.
- Marriage Dates
- Churches kept records of marriages far before counties or states did. Determine what church your ancestor belonged to by either narrowing it down geographically or using clues such as church affiliations found in some death records. Many churches have their own archives. A Google search using the church name and location will give you contact information to get you closer to that record.
- Local newspapers can be a great resource. Many people ran engagement or marriage notices in the local paper's social column. Search through historical newspapers on Ancestry.com or Newspapers.com. For more information on finding historical newspapers you can check out Ancestry Anne's Guide to Newspapers.com.
- Death Records
- Cemetery records are the go-to alternative to death records. Whether looking at a tombstone or records kept at the cemetery office, these records can provide the death information you're looking for. Find-A-Grave is a great resource for finding millions of cemetery records, all generated by other users, free of cost.
- If you are trying to pin down a death year, City Directories are a great tool. If your ancestor appears year after year then suddenly disappears, this might be because they passed away. Also, after a husband has passed, the wife might appear in the directory as "widow" or "widow of…"
I'm sure by now you've read the words "vital record" too many times to count but I hope this has helped answer some of your questions about what kinds of records are out there, how exactly to figure out if you're looking for a record that actually exists, and what to do if it doesn't.
Happy searching!

I have been looking for my grandparents for ver 12 yrs. Name Augustus M. Smith b.1828 MS.and Rebecca Gill b.1835 S.C. I have their kids names and dates buy would like to find their parents death and burial place. They married in 1852 in Panola Co. TX. and last lived there. The youngest child was born in 1871. They had to be there at that time. If you have any records on this matter please let me know , I want accept just anything. I'm beginning to think I bought into something that is a fake. You suppose to have records for everything. There must be records out there somewhere. Or give me a website to where I can find them.

Also check Family Search online: familysearch.org Check to see if there is a genealogy society in your home area and also for a local Family History Center (Mormon). Both places may have people who can help you. FHC is free to the public and has some databases you might otherwise have to pay to use.
Both Ancestry.com and familysearch.org will have some records that are the same BUT both sites will have records the other doesn't. Check cemeteries in the last known places your grandparents lived. They may have a burial record that is not online.
Talk to any family members or realtives still living if possible. Learn more about your grandparent lifestyles. Also research their children because maybe when your grandparents were old, they may have lived with one or more of their children, and that may not be where they last lived as a couple.
The USA made a big impact on all the Earth. We all have last names now. And we all have to be counted by law. My father use to say you get your name int he paper 2 times in your life for sure: when you are born, when you die. Today it is includes everything in between. But the law only states birth, death, marriage and parenthood as something that is without a choice of being made of record. Infant baptism in catholicism served this purpose in Europe before the US Constitution was written to allow this evolve for all in our land. Judaism as a religion and a genetic people is the oldest written genealogy records in history that I know exists. To them it is a God given duty. History books for school kids to learn of their own history is 5000 years of who made them who they are now. So know that few ever escaped the radar for the past 150 to 200 years of everybody counts record keeping. Unless the records were destroyed by war, fire to kill disease or water the universal dissolver. Or just plain locked up for the eyes of few. Ohio just refused to make a man declared dead (certificate of death) alive at his request so the news claims. I lived in Ohio all my life since WWII and unfortunately it is probably true. So even it the legal records say he is dead it might not be the truth. the best source of the truth is common sense. Does that make sense? I have doing this all my life and never cease to get amazed by what I find about my ancestors and deceased loved ones. (My grown kids too!) Enjoy.
My problem searching for in my mother's family is that they named the children/grandchildren after relatives. My 4th (or was it 5th) Great Grandfather had about 14 children, 9 of them sons. Those sons named their sons after grandfather, uncles, etc. And they had lots of children amongst them. So there are 4-5 in each generation with the exact name born within the same 2-3 years. A lot of them married ladies named Mary. And they all lived in the same town their whole lives. So which one is my relative, I have no idea. All my grandmothers except my great great grandmother was named Mary (no surnames). I am in the process of looking elsewhere for information, at the historical society in the county they resided.

Jersey Shore: MTV Apologizes for Show Segment
November 03, 2010 01:00 PM by Shayla Perry
MTV has apologized to GLAAD for an "offensive" segment that was aired on last week's Jersey Shore reunion special. With all that goes down on The Shore, what could have possibly been bad enough for MTV to issue an apology to the gay advocacy group? Read on to find out.
On last week's Jersey Shore reunion special, which aired on MTV, footage of Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino flirting with an individual of whom cast members referred to as "a tranny" were shown with shots of Ronnie Ortiz-Magro in a dress. The images of Ronnie were also paired with shots of another man who was wearing a bikini and a Halloween mask.
After the footage aired, host of the reunion special, Julissa Bermudez, joked about Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's outfit and then asked Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino: "Who was that tranny? What was up with that?"
Once word of GLAAD's outrage over the show segment reached MTV, the cable network issued the following statement:
"We appreciate GLAAD voicing concern about the Jersey Shore reunion special. The segment in question was certainly not meant to be insensitive, but in retrospect we realize that it was offensive to some viewers. We sincerely apologize."
Aaron McQuade, a GLAAD official, responded to MTV's apology, telling reporters, "We appreciate the network taking responsibility for the offensive segment."
MTV has said that they will edit the footage out of future airings of the reunion special.
This is not the first time that the Jersey Shore has been edited for content. After a preview of Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi getting punched in the face hit the Internet, MTV decided to remove the scene from the episode, citing that the footage failed to depict the full severity of the assault.
A new season of The Jersey Shore premieres in January on MTV.

While our street-wise eastern gray squirrels probably still dream of the ocean-like expanses of unbroken forest where they once lived, gray squirrels are thriving in the sub/urban environment, where many other native species fail. How do they do it?
SKILL SET: For starters, squirrels have impressive physical abilities. Squirrels are, admittedly, rodents but they are most closely related to prairie dogs, woodchucks, and beavers –not mice and rats, or even porcupines, for that matter. Like most rodents, squirrels have clever hands; keen eyes, ears and noses; ever-growing, sharp teeth; and alert, inquisitive intellects (albeit encased in walnut-sized brains).
What distinguishes squirrels from other rodents is the long, bushy tail which serves as an eloquent communications device, a balancing pole for high-wire work, and a portable parachute, blanket, and umbrella. Should a squirrel be required to swim, as in the storied 1933 mitigation of a thousand gray squirrels across the Connecticut River, the squirrel's all-purpose tail is also useful as a rudder. (Before you ask, no one knows why the squirrels swam the river; the going theory is food shortage).
Flying squirrels, red squirrels, and chipmunks, despite most of the same abilities, are much more rare in the urban environment; so what makes gray squirrels special? Part of the secret is the gray squirrel's ability to make good use of both the ground and the tree canopy. However, watch a gray squirrel flatten itself against a tree and cautiously edge out of sight, but a minute later, there's a little gray face peering down to see if you're gone yet; you'll know that there's something more at work here.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT: Gray squirrel success is partially attributable to sharing territory in loosely-associated colonies. Colony members band together to drive off new squirrels, if there isn't enough food for all. Gray squirrels will also drive off other species that are perceived as food competitors. This territoriality helps regulate squirrel population density.
In addition to protecting the food supply, colony living gives each member the benefit of the whole group's knowledge and experience. Squirrels do learn by observing other squirrels. Thus, as soon as one squirrel figures out that those lumpy, tan things next to the bird feeder are good to eat, the whole colony is munching peanuts.
Colony members also share defense. Squirrels communicate via sounds and posturing, including dramatic tail waving. There is a special warning call for serious predators like the red-tailed hawk. The squirrel talk that you're most likely to hear is a "chit-chit-chit-chit", accompanied by an erect, twitching tail, which translates roughly into "go away, now!". The squirrel's remarks may be addressed to another squirrel, a neighborhood cat or you, if you're interfering with forging or too close to a nest.
Living in a gray squirrel colony, though, is not all sweetness and light. Experts say that colony members have an alpha-beta hierarchy, and that the cause of inter-squirrel friction, predictably, tends to be food, mates, and territory. Further, sharing only goes so far; gray squirrels have been observed faking where they bury food in order to hide it from each other.
SCATTER-HOARDING: Gray squirrels certainly do get a boost by being able to rely on communal food stores. Gray squirrels are "scatter hoarders" in that they do hoard, but don't create central caches. Gray squirrels, instead, spread their stores over their whole territory, minimizing the risk of loss of a significant part of the year's harvest.
Gray squirrels remember the general area where they buried things but find the exact spot with their super-noses, even through several inches of snow. Since there are only so many places to bury stuff in the sub/urban environment (e.g. my friend's window box), a canny squirrel can usually find something that she or someone else stashed.
The forgotten "left-overs", of course, are tomorrow's oaks, hickories, pines, dogwoods, and crabapples. All that scattering and burying makes the gray squirrel an important seed-disperser for nuts and other large seeds. It seems that oaks need squirrels as much as squirrels need oaks.
FLEXIBLE DIET: Gray squirrels greatly benefit from food adaptability. Gray squirrels can be characterized as "food-turnal" in that they'll adjust their schedules to the food supply. Given a choice, though, gray squirrels prefer to forge early morning and late afternoon, thus avoiding mid-day summer heat (they are wearing fur coats!) and night-time predators. During the frenzy of fall acorn-gathering, when the hawk isn't around, you can often glimpse an exhausted squirrel sprawled on a sunny branch catching a well-deserved mid-day nap.
Gray squirrels recognize a wide range of foods and readily accept new foods. Young squirrels learn what is good to eat and how to store food by experimenting and by watching their parents and other squirrels.
In spring, gray squirrels live on tree buds, roots, flowers and stores. If stores run out, early spring can be a hungry time. Red squirrels are said to be adept at tapping sugar maples for the high-carb spring sap. There are mixed reports on whether gray squirrels have widely perfected this art but my local gray squirrels appear quite good at it.
As the year progresses, there are fruits, seeds, roots, and mushrooms to help tide the squirrels over until the nut harvest. Summer is a lean time for squirrels, though, so if you'd like to keep them out of the garden, it's good to supplement their food (e.g. with a mulberry or wild cherry tree, or a squirrel feeder). Don't forget a water source for them and the birds.
Squirrels are mostly vegans, but young squirrels, in need of protein and calcium, also eat insects, bird eggs, and small critters. City squirrels will eat a good part of whatever ends up in the trash.
Even urban gray squirrels are dependent on acorns and other nuts that will last all winter. Squirrel populations, therefore, absent bird feeders, rise and fall with the nut harvest which varies widely from year to year.
Because squirrels fixate on one or two available foods at a time, it is much harder to get a squirrel to stop eating bird food than to keep it away from him entirely. Thus, it is best to start with a reasonably squirrel-proof bird feeder and take more action at the first sign of squirrel interest.
EFFICIENT NEST BUILDING: In a few hours, a gray squirrel can craft a serviceable summer nest that will last a year or more. Gray squirrels construct leafy nests out of freshly-cut twigs with the green leaves attached. The leaves curl as they dry, creating a snug, water-resistant nest. There are usually plenty of summer nesting sites since leafy nests can be built in most trees over 12 feet tall. Adaptable as they are, squirrels will also use man-made articles for nest building– I've seen plastic bags, newspaper, duct tape, mattress-stuffing, and even a man's shirt.
Gray squirrels construct at least one substantial summer home but may also make some slap-dash temporary ones, for example, near a seasonal food source. In addition, gray squirrels have learned the wisdom of maintaining back-up shelters so they won't get caught out in potentially-fatal cold or wet if the primary nest is destroyed or invaded. Some experts estimate the gray squirrel population at 1.5 leafy nests per squirrel.
Winter housing is a problem for urban squirrels and, thus, another check on population density. A gray squirrel needs least one safe, water-proof, wind-resistant winter home. The traditional dwelling is a tree hollow at least 12 inches deep and 6 inches wide, with a 3-inch wide door. The best winter nesting trees are dead or half-dead standing trees, called "snags", which are a natural part of the forest. However, in the 'burbs, snags are often removed as unsightly or dangerous.
If tree hollows are lacking, squirrels have to find other winter accommodations or move on, a risky undertaking, and the cause of many late-season squirrel deaths. The next best choice, from the squirrel's perspective, is a human structure. A squirrel nesting box, placed away from the house, is a fine way to share but the attic is not. When a wild animal gets in the house, the encounter seldom ends well for the animal, and can be upsetting and costly for the human. It is best to keep our furry friends out of places where they don't belong by capping chimneys, screening windows, keeping garage doors closed, and annually inspecting building exteriors for gaps to seal.
Sidewalk watchers do see gray squirrels frequenting their leafy homes in winter. It is not known whether these squirrels are using the summer homes for food storage, day-time naps or over-wintering due to a shortage of proper winter quarters.
GROWING UP FAST: Surveys show that, in the 'burbs, 75% of gray squirrels die their first year. Those that survive the first year to become parents are the smartest, fastest, and luckiest.
Historically, gray squirrels had two litters a year; however, with warming temperatures, a third litter is possible. The cold-season babies are conceived in January or February, born nearly hairless and blind 44 days later, nurse for about 6 weeks, and leave the nest as teenagers by May. They are not fully grown until the fall, when they turn 9 months old. Gray squirrels can conceive as early as the following January. While gray squirrels in captivity can live up to 20 years; in the wild, a gray squirrel is considered "old" at 6 years.
After the teenagers leave the nest, they have to find unoccupied locations to construct their summer and winter shelters; gather food, and be safe from predators. It is critical that the young squirrels quickly learn their territory so that they don't use too much energy finding food, and so that they know the local dangers and the means to avoid them. A single mistake during the learning process can result in the young one ending up as hawk lunch or road kill.
PLAYFULNESS: The above observable, measurable qualities explain how gray squirrels survive in the urban environment. What these traits don't explain is why gray squirrels tease dogs, bat tulip flowers back and forth, and perform death-defying feats to break into a bird feeder when there's other food available. Nor do these measurable things explain why we so enjoy watching them do it. It's a quality of the spirit, I think. Gray squirrels are definitely industrious, inquisitive, inventive, and stubborn, but there seems to be joyfulness, too. Could it be that the gray squirrels' true secret is their playfulness or even a sense of humor?

Goodwill school project delayed again
After nearly two decades of trying to revitalize the former North Scranton Junior High School, Goodwill Industries of Northeast Pennsylvania faces another delay in its plans to build apartments there.
This time, it's the discovery of a small patch of soft silt beneath the school that is pushing back the start of work another few weeks. It's also adding $300,000 to $400,000 to the cost of its $22.6 million price tag.
"Our geo-science guy said that it is a very, very small thing that needs to be filled," said Gerald Langan, executive director of Goodwill Industries of Northeast Pennsylvania.
Despite the additional expense, Mr. Langan said he is not anticipating it to be a budget breaker. Plans to revitalize the school have been held up for more than 18 years by delays, changing plans and criticism.
Once the project is completed, the school will transform from abandoned building to 58 apartments for residents 55 and older. The building's auditorium will also be refurbished.
The project relied heavily on tax credits received from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency last April that Goodwill Industries then sold to investors for $17 million.
The closing date was also delayed from late September until sometime this month. Work is expected to begin in May.
"It seems like for the last year and a half I've had this thing at the goal line, but I need a linebacker to push it through," Mr. Langan said.
Ronda Beemer, spokeswoman with the contractor, Quandel Construction Group Inc., said in an email that the project is anticipated to take anywhere between a year to 14 months.
Built in 1924, the school closed in 1988 because of the threat of a potential mine subsidence.
The district permanently closed the structure it in 1991.

More than a million people have lined the banks of the River Thames on a rainy day in London to cheer Queen Elizabeth and a flotilla celebrating her 60 years on the throne.
More than 1,000 vessels sailed along a 7-mile stretch of the river past landmarks including the Houses of Parliament and St. Paul's Cathedral before ending their journey near Tower Bridge.
The flotilla included rowboats, sailboats, gondolas, dragon boats and a replica Viking longboat. More than three dozen "Dunkirk Little Ships" represented the private boats that rescued thousands of British soldiers from the beaches of France in 1940.
The queen and her family led the parade aboard a barge decorated in red, gold and purple velvet.
Rain scuttled plans for a ceremonial flyover, but didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd, estimated by organizers at 1.25 million.
The pageant was the largest public event in four days of celebrations of the queen's Diamond Jubilee. Tomorrow, the queen will join thousands at an outdoor concert beside Buckingham Palace, headlined by Paul McCartney and Elton John.

Say Africa and a long freedom struggle comes to mind. But here's presenting a beautiful version of a place full of great Art, innovative Art and always evolving Art. And no, it is not the natural scenic beauty, it includes beautiful museums, paintings, graffiti and some other art oriented surprises. To enjoy a blend of timelessness with a sense of freshness, come lets artscape through Cape Town.
IRMA STERN MUSEUM– "I work a long time at a picture in my head… I never touch the canvas after it is finished." said the world-renowned artist Irma Stern. The Irma Stern Museum was established in 1971 and it is the very house in which she lived for four decades. Many rooms are just as she had arranged them and the upstairs is a contemporary gallery used by South African Artists. The permanent collection on display shows Irma Stern's development as an artist whose subject matter included exotic figures, portraits, lush landscapes and still life's conveyed in a variety of media, ranging from oils and water colours to gouache and charcoal and also is full of artifacts she collected during numerous trips to Europe and Africa. This museum is truly a celebration of talent of Art. Artworks of the Museum-
1) Iziko South African National Gallery—Do not miss it as you will get to see outstanding collections of South African, African, British, French, Dutch and Flemish art. The gallery also has a full programme of temporary exhibitions of paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, beadwork, textiles and architecture. Plus it is super cheap so admire the rich cultural heritage without burning a hole in the pocket.
Some Artworks to Admire-
2) CASTLE OF GOOD HOPE & WILLIAM FEHR COLLECTION—Still standing tall in Cape Town, the Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa. Today the Castle houses the Castle Military Museum and Iziko Museums of Cape Town (William Fehr Collection). What interests Artists the most is the William Fehr Collection, comprising of paintings and decorative arts. A part of this collection is also located in Rust en Vreugd – an historical house and museum in the city centre. William Fehr was a lover of pictoral art. The pieces of this collection include furniture, oil paintings and antique china. They were collected by businessman William Fehr, then sold or donated to the South African government during the first half of the 20th Century. Nothing portrays the lifestyle and tastes of the settlers in the Cape colony better than this varied collection.
From the Collection-
ART BECOMES SUPER-CUTE & TRENDY- Explore a shop called The Fringe Arts! No need to be a wealthy and elite to buy Art which you would love to flaunt. Take a trip to Cape with a limited budget and enjoy Art shopping in The Fringe Arts owned and run by Chantal Louw and Thessa Bos. Their contribution to commerce and creativity takes the form of a pop-up. "Products of our artists and designers are Africa-inspired, but not Africa-themed. Each piece is locally designed and manufactured and handmade. In collaboration with Warren Editions and Artthrob we offer limited edition fine art prints by established and emerging South Africa artists. Our focus is on people, locally and internationally, who love art and design and have a limited art budget." These guys truly breathe a new life in the face of Art! Check out some wonders and I am sure you will have your eyes pop out.
1) ECO ART—Capetonian Artists preach, "Waste not Want not". Beautiful picturesque Art made out of recycled materials maybe a little hard to digest but folks, it does exist and exists well indeed. Artists like Galia Gluckman and Carolyn Partonare creators who transform waste materials into Art wonders. Galia says, "I am manipulating the paper more and working more texture into the artwork. I have been very interested in abstract dimension and perspective". Caroly explains, "My art is underpinned by on-going research into the impact of artists and their art making upon environment and a thought that I once came across, which is constantly on my mind, is that when you throw away there is no away." Guess one should give this concept a chance and become not only an amzing Artist but also a responsible human being.
2) HAAS COLLECTIVE— Formed in February 2010 by Francois Irvine, Tess Berlein and Glynn Venter, Haas, as it's casually known, is home to collectibles, gallery and studio space, a coffee shop and an advertising agency. Aside from an antique coffee roaster that has pride of place in the shop, visitors can sit inside and admire the art that flows seamlessly from the store into this coffee shop. The Haas Collective is the best place to combine coffee and art having the world's best ambiance. Exquisite coffee and exquisite Art. Relax, drink(coffee!) and admire. "It's not about having a commercial gallery, it's about creating a space where the artists feel safe and appreciated," says Francois.
To Conclude, Cape Town shows us so many variations, so many options. It gives us the inspiration to get up and do something new, something different. Visit Cape Town for its Art and check out the Art wonders and also shop a little, because we all could use a little art! Stay tuned to continue our journey through art wonderlands.

Al Pacino hit the Venice Film Festival with two new movies, swinging and hitting with one, while whiffing on the other. Barry Levinson's "The Humbling" fills out the latter category (read our review), while David Gordon Green's latest "Manglehorn" is the hit, with the film showing us a whole other side to Pacino than we're used to these days. And with this first clip, you get a really nice taste of the actor in a much more dialed down mode.
Co-starring Holly Hunter, Harmony Korine and Chris Messina, the movie tells the story of an aging Texas locksmith, still pining for the love of his life while making his way in a small town. And you can get a great sense of the film's low key nature in this lovely scene with Pacino and Hunter, the latter playing a bank teller with whom the titular protagonist has a warm relationship. And it all culminates in a movie that our Jessica Kiang says " gently dazzles" in her review.
There's no U.S. distribution yet for "Manglehorn," but we're sure it's just a matter of time. Watch below.

Hi Folks,
Wants to give a quick update about some of the things you've mentioned.
Re: Less forum thread summaries on home page (latest post)
It might not seem like it, but it's the same. The real problem is that the columns are a little too fluid, rather than static like they were before. It's collapsing empty space, thus the cols are no longer aligned like they were before...so it looks smaller...but there's really just less empty space. Hope that makes sense.
Re: The quote icons: Yep. We're redoing the icons, and that one is one we haven't gotten to yet
I like the new quote/new post icons so far. They're much cleaner and easier to read.
Thanks guys. I've updated some of the icons. Suggestions still welcome on any little annoyances, or feature requests.
don't know how possible it would be, but how about some way of single clicking to add common fixes to problems ? For example we get a lot regarding DNS and it would be nice to be able to post a consistent reply of what should be checked. Like a knowledge base really.
Just a thought.
Hey uxbod,
heh, this was actually a hot topic back in the day. We had a wiki which was in utter disarray, and I wanted a knowledge base.
After a lot of internal discussion, I posted this blog entry:
Eventually, we opted for a wiki only solution. The main reason, is that we want to keep the Open Source nature of collaboration. By moving to a KB, we remove one of our most powerful assets, you. A wiki is the embodiment of worldwide collaboration which is unparalleled in world history. So, to show our support for open standards and collaboration, we kept the wiki.
What we did do is add certified articles, and locked official docs pages. We have a great tech docs team who have just done a great job keeping that organized.
Now, I have been considering a newer feature: Keyword highlights. For example, if a post contains the word "zmprov" that isn't in quote or code brackets; if you mouse over, it will link to the zmprov wiki article, or do a GET for zmprov common commands.
I haven't worked out the details, and I probably would need to code it from scratch because only I know what I want
Suggestions welcome!

The feature year, publication year or with printed products also pressure year is the year indicated in the imprint of a publication, in which the work is to have come on the market.
Pressure year data of the early modern times earn occasionally substantial caution. In the book trade they signaled above all, how new the title was. Regularly the indication, came a book still before year end on the market, predated on the next year, so that the title could be sold with the next fair as more current. The book advertisement in magazines and newspapers can give occasionally the more exact date here.
Apparently second expenditures earn besides special attention. Of many novels 17. and early 18. Century exist expenditures, which itself with respect to nothing when around one year the differing indication of the publication year on the title page differentiate. An examination of the book block - on differences here often permits the suspicion that the title went off in the first year only not completely. The publisher, who wanted to avoid a past pressure year with current commodity - novels were above all a current, fashionable production -, could exchange title pages of the free books against updated.

Murphy said the lack of productivity in the GOP-led House is "an embarrassment," but he also spread the blame around during a Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches breakfast.
"I believe it's leadership that needs to get shaken up a bit in Congress, and that's on both sides of the aisle," Murphy said.
Murphy spoke of reducing waste in government and promoting economic growth and called for "smarter regulation" with automatic sunset provisions. He called the Democratic Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 well-intentioned, but said it has been "stifling" to small and regional banks.
On the federal health care law, Murphy said: "That was passed before I got to Congress and I believe, like many, many pieces of legislation that are in place right now, we much constantly improve, we must constantly fix these pieces of legislation and that's been my focus."
Murphy, who represents a Palm Beach-Treasure Coast swing district, is a top target of Republicans in 2014. His remarks didn't provide any ammunition for local GOP chair Mitchell, who was in the audience of about 250.
"What I heard at the chamber breakfast was a lot of small business, small government, less regulation and that's a Republican mantra," Mitchell said. "A lot of what he said is the Republican playbook."
National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman Katie Prill pounced on Murphy's "embarrassment" at the productivity of the House.
"Congressman Patrick Murphy should be embarrassed by his lack of productivity in Washington. Not only did Murphy not vote for a single budget proposed this year, but he has also voted against repealing Obamacare which the folks in his district are gravely against. Congressman Murphy is the definition of do-nothing and it's embarrassing," Prill said.

As seems to be the case with Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO), PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) is not presently delivering the sort of results that its premium valuation would seem to demand. Certainly some of this can be tied to investor confidence - Coca-Cola and PepsiCo may wobble from time to time, but they eventually get their affairs in order and get back to the business of wringing above-average profits from strong global brands. That said, while I do believe PepsiCo has some good things going for it, I see no reason to pay up for the stock today.
Investopedia Broker Guide: Enhance your trading with the tools from today's top online brokers.
A Quarterly Beat, but not a Great Performance
For PepsiCo, the third quarter was another one where there was some 'splainin' to do. The company did beat the bottom line estimate, but the quality of the win was a little weak (powered by below-the-line numbers) and the core North American beverage business is not firing on all cylinders.
Revenue was down 5% on a reported basis, but up 5% on an organic basis (edging out Coca-Cola's organic growth for the same quarter). Growth was heavily weighted toward pricing/mix, as volume increased 1%. The PepsiCo Americas Beverage unit saw flat organic performance, while Foods rose 6%, Europe rose 7%, and Asia, Middle East and Africa rose 10% (with emerging markets up about 11% overall).
On the profits side, gross margin did improve more than a half-point from last year. Operating income fell 8%, however, and both the Americas beverage and food segments were a little soft in terms of profit performance.
SEE: Everything Investors Need To Know About Earnings
Beverages - Mix, Competition and Promotion
PepsiCo's 4% decline in North American beverage volume jumped out at me this quarter, with carbonated beverage volume down 2% and still beverage volume down 7%. It certainly backs up the Nielsen data that indicated Coca-Cola was picking up share in water and sports beverages, and it sounds as though PepsiCo's Tropicana business was down in the double-digits.
This business flummoxes me a bit right now. On the one hand, PepsiCo is fine with losing share in the lower-margin case water business, and I don't dispute that decision at all (higher water sales didn't help Coke's margins). Likewise, getting out of less-profitable juice businesses makes sense. On the other hand, the company has been committing a lot of resources to this unit (North American beverages in general, that is), and it doesn't seem to be paying a lot of dividends. Even if companies such as Cott (NYSE:COT) are benefiting from a shift to cheaper, store-brand soda, it's not a good performance.
Good Overseas Performance
In contrast to North American results, PepsiCo is doing well overseas - seemingly better than even Coca-Cola in China. For reasons that don't always make a lot of sense, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are frequently compared to other consumer companies such as Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) and Colgate Palmolive (NYSE:CL) in emerging market sales, and PepsiCo seems to be holding its own at present, with generally solid volumes across the board.
SEE: What Is An Emerging Market Economy?
Product Development Should Pay Off
PepsiCo has arguably been too lax in product development in recent years, and is paying for it with share weakness relative to Coca-Cola in beverages and companies such as Kraft (Nasdaq:KRFT) and Kellogg (NYSE:K) in snacks. Time will tell if the company's efforts here can pay dividends; PepsiCo has been working with ingredient/flavor developers such as Senomyx (Nasdaq:SNMX) in the hopes of developing better sweeteners, and the company's venture with Yum! Brands (NYSE:YUM) for the Doritos-flavored taco shell shows some of the benefits of thinking outside the box with flavor and brand extensions.
SEE: Lead The Charge With Product Development
The Bottom Line
Given PepsiCo's relatively long history as a performance laggard, I'm surprised by the extent to which analysts and investors give the company the benefit of the doubt with their models. Historically, PepsiCo has only delivered about 60% of the free cash flow margin of Coca-Cola and only about one-third more than packaged food players like Kraft and Kellogg.
Let's say that PepsiCo does better and lifts that free cash flow margin into the mid-teens over the next decade, while continuing to grow revenue at a low-to-mid single-digit clip. That points to roughly 10% compound annual free cash flow growth, but a fair value in the low $70s. So even if the company does meaningfully better than it has, there's not a lot of apparent upside to me in the stock. That said, I know the Street loves and believes in this name, so any real pullback would probably be an opportunity for investors who wish to bet that the love affair will continue.
At the time of writing, Stephen D. Simpson owned shares of Senomyx since 2007.

Although Dr. Jane Sands Robb is classified officially as a pharmacologist, this monumental work entitled Comparative Basic Cardiology indicates that she is a biologist at heart and very familiar with the morphology and the physiology of the cardiovascular system throughout the animal kingdom. It was not her intention to write a new textbook, but to collect all the available information concerning gross anatomy, embryology, electron-microscopy, histochemistry, and electrophysiology of the hearts of different species. After studying the book carefully, I realized that she accomplished her intended purpose admirably and covered even a broader field than one expected.
What astonished me most was that Dr. Robb succeeded in making her book much more readable than other books containing a collection of information or than the majority of review articles. She accomplished this partly by not only enumerating the bare facts reported in certain citations, but by including verbal quotations of different

Washington farmers and ranchers set a production record last year, growing crops and raising livestock worth $9.89 billion — a 6 percent increase from 2011, according to a report this week from the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
Apples climbed 16 percent, to $2.25 billion. It's the first commodity in the state to go over the $2 billion mark, said Washington State Department of Agriculture Director Bud Hover.
Apples are the top commodity in the state, representing 23 percent of the total agriculture value. Washington is the nation's top apple producer, growing about 60 percent of the U.S. crop.
Harvested apple orchards were worth $15,400 per acre in 2012, the report said.
After apples' $2.25 billion, the other crops in the top five are wheat, worth $1.18 billion; milk, worth $1.16 billion; potatoes, worth $700 million; and hay, worth $679 million.
There are 39,500 farms and ranches in Washington, according to the 2007 USDA census. They employ 160,000 owners, farmworkers and associated jobs, including 40,000 in processing.
The value of food processing was up about 3 percent, to $15.46 billion, said state Agriculture Department spokesman Mike Louisell.
The Statistics Service report ranking 40 commodities also showed significant gains for cattle and calves, grapes, pears, dry edible beans, barley, canola and onions.

Liberty Fitness joins the race
CARDIFF -- Liberty Harper has muscled her way into the world of fitness clubs with her own version of women-only gyms. Liberty Fitness Centers, a franchise operation founded by the 24-year-old Harper and her brother Joe Harper, have quickly swept the nation. In its first year of business, the company has opened centers in 16 states.
Before becoming the president of Liberty Fitness Inc., Liberty Harper held 13 fitness classes a week at various gyms in San Diego. She also co-owned a Curves franchise with her mother, Lynn Harper.
One day about three years ago, while the Cardiff resident was talking to her brother at the Tidewater Tavern in Solana Beach, she told him that if she could create her own gym, she would make it better than any of the gyms she worked for, she said,
"What I wanted to do was take all of the best parts of these gyms and put them into Liberty Fitness," Harper said. "It just all came together while we were sitting there at the Tidewater."
Unlike mega-gyms such as Bally Total Fitness or 24-Hour Fitness, Liberty Fitness Centers specialize in simplicity -- no sauna, no pool, no steam room; only adjustable hydraulic exercise machines and some room to stretch. The gyms also emphasize 30-minute workouts combining aerobics and strength training so that women can exercise and then quickly move on with their day.
The equipment, which is manufactured by the company for the company, is part of what makes Liberty Fitness unique from other women-only fitness chains such as Curves for Women and 4 Women Only Fitness.
The equipment designed for her gyms has adjustable resistance ranging from light to heavy so that it can accommodate women of different levels of strength and endurance. This makes her gyms attractive to women of all ages, Harper said.
"We are trying to make an environment where women can truly use the equipment," Harper said.
For example, at an average gym, an 80-year-old woman at one machine and a 30-year-old woman on similar equipment will be doing the same exercise, said Marla Pigeon, owner of the San Marcos Liberty Fitness Center. Her location opened Feb. 9.
This is especially a problem because the stronger woman will plateau once her body becomes accustomed to the exercise, she said.
"This way they, will never plateau," Pigeon said. "I think the equipment is fantastic."
Gyms such as Liberty Fitness have recently become popular among female gymgoers because members tend to feel less self-conscious exercising without the presence of a masculine eye, Harper said.
Joan Mayne, 48, is a member at Pigeon's location, where she works out five days a week.
Before joining in February, Mayne said she hadn't exercised in years. Now she said she feels better about herself and is healthier, too.
"I feel great, and I've had a lot more compliments on how I look," Mayne said.
"Women my age go in there and talk about their grandchildren and just enjoy ourselves."
Mayne added that she is impressed with the environment and quality of the equipment at the centers.
Membership at Liberty Fitness Centers costs $170 to join, but vary on the monthly fee depending on the duration of the membership.
With gyms opening from Livermore to Ocala, Fla., there are 53 Liberty Fitness centers in the United States. Harper said there will be an additional seven by the end of June.
Before allowing a new franchisee to open a Liberty Fitness Center, Harper said she puts them through a certification program so that they will know how to run the business and deal with the equipment.

Should I try for a vaginal birth after having a c-section?
I'm pregnant with my second child, and I have the option of trying for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). I'm having a really hard time with the decision, and I haven't been able to talk to anyone who's been through this. Can anyone share their experience?

What was the reason of your C-Section?? I had my 1st child vaginally, my second was a C-S because she was in a breech position. With my 3rd child, my OB said I was a great candidate for a VBAC because I had already had a successful vaginal delivery. I was so thankful that I did - pushed him out in 10 mins! Easiest delivery and recovery ever! But every case is different. My OB suggested "go with your gut feeling". Otherwise, you will always have regrets or what-ifs. =)posted 08/08/2009 by annearguelles
ive been reading all these posts and i am more on the fence NOW then before haha.. ugh i dont know what to do..posted 07/15/2009 by hawtmamma23
I'm in the same situation. At first I was all for doing VBAC. I wanted to at least TRY to have my second baby naturally. But after speaking with my dr. about not being able to induce, (my due date is the 23rd of december) and not being able to pop my bag of water... and about the possible of a scar rupture., I was kinda terrified all over again. I even watched videos on here under the Photos and vidoes section on giving birth naturally or with just the epidural, and I just dont think I'm strong enough to go through that. Especially knowing I wont be able to get petocin. I dont want my baby born in 2010.. and I think a before Christmas baby is perfect for my family.. my First one was born just after July 4th 2005. needless to say, I think i'll opt for the C-section again. I've been there and done that, and I think I'll be having my Ovaries taken out anyways due to ovarian cysts I keep getting that are EXTREAMLY painful during my period.posted 07/15/2009 by steph7285
It is a very difficult decision that I have recently had to make. Because I did not have a "successful" labor and delivery with my first child (2 1/2 yrs ago), my doctors recommended another C-section. After reading the risks of VBAC to the baby and myself, I have come to terms with the C-section being the least amount of risk to my new baby. Although the % of complications with VBAC may be low, the magnitude of the complications with uterine rupture were far greater. I can handle the extra healing time from another C-section if it means less risk to my baby and felt that it would be selfish to do the VBAC just for the experience. I think the bottom line is that you and your doctor need to talk about all of the risks and benefits before making the decision that is right for you and your baby.posted 07/03/2009 by mrinda
Well the problem with this post is that the question itself is from 2004 and the answers are only from as late as 2007! Things have changed since then. I had to end up having a c-section with my second child because he went breech last minute. Right up until I had gotten pregnant with my third my ob had said if I went into labor, they would just let me go. But now he said it's not even an option due to the many risks. And I believe him because he only does a c-section if necessary, he's not one of those docs that will just let you schedule one because you want to. And honestly, why would anyone want one if you didn't have to?posted 05/04/2009 by Rachandalmost3
After my son was born by Cesarean, I was adamant about trying for a VBAC with our daughter. I had not chosen the Cesarean; it was a necessity due to preecclampsia. Though I went through 21 hours of labor and ended up with a small episiotomy, I would heartily advocate for this option, and I will be (hopefully) having another when our new dd or ds arrives in December. I found that my PPD was much milder after the VBAC than with the Csection.posted 04/03/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm in the same boat as you. I had a c-section with my 1st because she was breech + I wasn't dilating (although I did go into labor normaly with no pain). This time, my doctor has given me the choice, but heavily pushing for a 2nd c-section. My thoughts: I already know what to expect from a c-section, had no complications the 1st time, and would have another in a heartbeat. Also, my SIL gave birth vaginally two weeks ago, and has been so sore with the stitches, and the long labor (without being allowed to eat for over 24 hrs!!!) that it really turns me off VBAC. However, my doctor wants to schedule the c-section for the Friday before my due date (that's when they have their scheduled c-sections) and it is almost a week before my due date! I would prefer to go into labor naturally. The body knows when it is time and will start labor when it is ready. My 1st was 4 days late...I don't want to rush this baby out before it's ready, unless it is medically necessary. I agree, tough decision.posted 04/03/2009 by vicentec
I had to have a c-section with my second baby due to a previa. I had delivered my first baby vaginally. We decided to try a VBAC on our 3rd baby and overall I'm glad I did. I do want to warn you that it was scary. There were several times where my baby's heart rate dropped and the nurses were watching my monitors very intently and preparing me for another c-section. In the end I was able to have a successful VBAC. It was not an enjoyable birth experience like my first child's was... I was tense the entire time, but the recovery was wonderful. I am now expecting my 4th baby and I am going to attempt another VBAC. I'm praying that what happened last time does not happen again, but I feel it's worth it. With having 3 other kids... the recovery of a vaginal is a lot easier. Whatever you decide, make sure you get your IV and epidural at the beginning of labor just in case. My Dr. told me that this would save valuable time in the event of an emergency c-section. I hope this helps!posted 03/30/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I am also pregnant with my second child. My first was born by c-section and I have gone through the same thing that you are. I have opted for another c-section. I would have liked to have a VBAC but make sure you get all the info you need from your doc first. My choice was because my first couldn't fit down the birth canal and this one is large, it has also been less then two years since my last which increases the chances of tearing. Which ever way you choose to go talk with your doc about possible complications of both and why you had to have the first c-section so you have all the info before you make a decision on what will be safer for you and the baby. Good luckposted 03/22/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm dealing with this same issue and I'm doing research to find out what I want to do. I was in hard labor for 26 hours with my first child and he was 9'3, and my next pregnancy was twin girls whose weight equaled over 12 lbs. I'm now pregnant again and have read a lot regarding this. I think even a slight chance of my a uteran ruptur is scary. I remarried a year ago and this is my husbands first child and I would like to give him the experience of natural child birth, but if my pattern continues, this will not be a small child (I'm still waiting for the ultrasound to confirm or rule out twins again). I say it's up to you, do some research and read some scolarly journals to find out the statistics and make your own choice. Blessing to you.posted 01/12/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

Having open communication is crucial to the health of any relationship, but on tonight's "Teen Mom 3," we looked on as Mackenzie's bull-riding fiancé, Josh, barely acknowledged her existence. Josh wouldn't return any of Mackenzie's phone calls or texts, and when she finally stopped by his house, it was like pulling teeth just trying to get him to talk. In the "Teen Mom 3 After Show" clip below, the young mother opens up about the dismal state of her relationship at the time.
"I hated that I was trying and getting nothing in return," she tells host Maci Bookout of Josh's indifference. And when Maci asks whether Mackenzie regretted going to the rodeo after Josh shunned her, she shares that the two were in the worst place they had ever been, arguing even more than the cameras were able to catch.
Though Mackenzie initially describes the things she and Josh fought over as "stupid stuff," she eventually reveals to her fellow moms that the side effects of her diabetes were a main point of contention. "Anytime my blood sugar would go high, that was a big issue," she says, to which the other girls quickly jump to her defense, telling her not to blame herself. "He should understand that you have a disease that you can't get rid of, and that's going to be part of you, and he should love you for that," Katie tells her friend.
Luckily, these days Mackenzie says no one can make her feel worthless the way Josh once did. "I am who I am!" she assures her fellow moms. Check out the video for more from Mackenzie on her catharsis.

The Bobcat offense carried on as usual, moving the ball down the field with ease, but the story in this game was the defense. The Bobcat defense effectively shut down Rogers' offense and held them to just one touchdown until the final period when the starters were given a much-needed rest.
John Wesley Shipp and Devon LaFrance made key plays, keeping the Eagle offense on their heels. Jim LaFond was also a defensive standout, crushing Rogers's ball carriers left and right.
Refugio started the game with the ball and drove 74 yards in 8 plays capping the drive off with a one-yard touchdown run by Draigon Silvas. Less than three minutes later, Travis Quintanilla tossed a perfect pass to Marcus Thompson for a touchdown to make the score 14-0.
Rogers answered with a touchdown of their own to close the gap 14-7. The Eagles would not see the end zone again until the fourth period. The Bobcats continued their onslaught, first with a 70-yard touchdown pass from Quintanilla to Silvas. Silvas would record his third touchdown just before the end of the quarter from the one-yard line to make the score 28-7.
The Bobcats would score twice in the second quarter, both on the legs of Silvas. The first from four-yards out and the second from the one-yard line, once again to make the score 42-7.
The Bobcat defense continued keeping the Eagle offense at bay with great plays from JB Brown and Draigon Silvas.
Quintanilla completed two large touchdown passes in the third period with a 53-yard pass to Thompson and a 63-yard TD pass to Chase Whetsel. A rare blocked extra point would tally the score at 55-7.
With the game well in hand, the second team defense took over in the fourth period and the Rogers offense found the end zone for the second time of the afternoon, making the score 55-14.
Whetsel answered back quickly, rumbling into the end zone from 27 yards out. Trading blows, Rogers scored again to make it 62-21. Taking over as quarterback, Brett Davis spiraled a beauty into the waiting hands of Whetsel to score another Bobcat touchdown from 51-yards out.
Rogers responded with another score but Davis showed he wasn't done yet with another quick pass to Cameron Loveday for a 24-yard touchdown.
Rogers would make the final touchdown of the afternoon but it would be too little, too late and the Eagles were grounded 76-35.
The Bobcats advance to the Regional round to face the Lexington Eagles, the last team to ever beat the Bobcats two years ago.
The Bobcats leave no doubt that they will be ready. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 Friday night at Farris Stadium in San Antonio.

Marketing fried food in your restaurant the right way can lead to an increase in sales. In a 2009 Technomic consumer survey, consumers associated fried foods with the terms:
- Tasty – 89%
- Satisfying – 86%
- Filling – 83%
- Something I Crave – 80%
- Comforting – 77%
- Good Value – 71%
This same study also found that impulse is a large factor for fried food sales. However, consumers are even more aware of how a diet high in fried foods can lead to health concerns down the line.
So how do you let the public know that your fried food is worth the splurge? And, how can marketing fried foods in your restaurant help your brand's image?
Easily enough, it's all in your approach.
When marketing fried food items, craft your words in a manner that speaks to a customer's true desire. Keep your fried food menu items at a price point that also equals a good value. Then, consider using the terms noted above.
For example, "Comforting Satisfaction That You Crave" is a fun combination of several terms. These words can be placed right on the menu, on a tabletop sign or in window or print advertising. Have fun with word play. Create combinations of the key terms that factor into the customers' impulse decisions.
Tweet or post a status update to market fried food. Another great add-on is to use social media friendly applications such as Instagram and Cinemagram. These visual applications are perfect for posting right around meal or snack times. Take pictures of of your delicious fried food items – and add in some of the key attention grabbing words.
Still new to Facebook, Twitter and all the advertising opportunities online? Learn more about restaurant social media and how you can utilize new technologies to reach more customers.
How are the fried foods on your menu performing? Do you have any tips on marketing fried food menu items? We would love to hear your thoughts!

Capital International Private Equity Funds has held a final close on its fifth fund with $2.25bn (€1.4bn) of commitments.
In addition to support from existing investors, Capital International also received over half of its commitments from new investors, including Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System, Lockheed Martin Corporation Master Retirement Trust, Portfolio Advisors, LLC and a number of Middle Eastern and Asian institutional investors.
The new vehicle will target investments of between $50m and $250m in across
various emerging markets and industries.
The fund has already deployed 25 per cent of its capital in six investments, including backing Arcos Dorados, McDonald's Latin American operations, and Unimilk, a dairy products producer in Russia and Ukraine.
The fund's investment team, which includes Capital International Private Equity founders Koenraad Foulon and Lam Nguyen-Phuong, is based in five countries.
"The size and scope of this fifth generation CIPEF fund and stature of the early CIPEF V portfolio companies underscore the dramatic expansion of the emerging markets private equity investment opportunity," said senior managing partner Foulon.
"Since 1992, we have worked to methodically build a deeply experienced team with a strong track record in emerging markets private equity. CIPEV V marks an important turning point for us and is optimally sized to address the current generation of compelling emerging markets investment opportunities."

A satisfying low rise square cut
The fabric, made in Italy, is better than the typical Arena swim trunks. Generally the elasticity of this square cut is great, except the bottom region which seems a little loose/less elastic.
As the bottom of the square cut sits near the top of the thigh, I find it less restrictive on my legs when I swim, which is good. Of course, the (triangular) brief is better in this aspect. In terms of comfort & support, the brief is still superior to the square cut. I already have a brief which I'm very satisfied.
The purpose of getting this square cut is to add a variety (in terms of swimwear type). Also, with a longer side seam compared to the brief, I would choose to wear this square cut in social occasions (where the main purpose is socializing & not exercising) - a more conservative swimsuit is apt as far as my modesty is concerned.
With a side seam of 17cm, this is a low rise square cut. Its shorter side seam means the bottom of the square cut ends higher compared to a typical boxer trunk or a full coverage bottom (of a ladies' 2-piece swimsuit). I do not expose my butt crack, though the horizontal cutting along the bottom do expose some of my lower butt (which I don't mind). A female friend pointed out that this actually helps make my butt look shapier (She said comparatively, a longer, full coverage boxer swimwear totally flattens my butt undesirably). This square cut hugs the contours of my hips, caving inwards along the bottom central region, creating the illusion of a perkier butt.

Harbor City, CA
Happy to have these in my aresenal
I wanted something to push the envelope since I lost 35lbs and was getting ready for Jamaica. This is a micro square-leg suit, not a brief, and feels like it, in a good way. If you want to feel and show off your efforts to be in the shape of your life to this point, you can't go wrong. The low rise waistband is comfortable and has a reliable drawstring for when you are splashing around, the leg openings ride-up a bit but they don't bother you or make you feel self-conscious about it, and the half-liner does enough to not expose your junk too much. If you can rock these, your gonna' turn some heads and make more than a few men envious. Very pleased!
Arena square leg
very nice material, looks like it will last a while
Best trunks ever
These are almost perfect. You get more leg coverage than a brief, but they're cut much shorter than most square leg suits. Most square leg suits don't work well: the legs ride up and bunch, and the rise is much too high. This suit is comfortable and well made. I wear it for body surfing, and the double thickness fabric in the front doesn't collect sand like it does in the Speedo Endurance brief. This is now my go-to trunk for the pool and surf. I like them so much that I bought some extra for that far off day when they need to be replaced.

swim suit
like the material, thick not thin
cleveland ohio
nice, smaller than expected
I generally swim with square cuts, this one is more of a brief, did not expect it to be that small. Have not tried it in the pool yet
Fit: Feels too small
Best one ever!
I am in the water around 1 hr each time and 3 to 4 times a week. I use all brands but Arena has always been my favorite brand (except goggles).They might not last as long as Speedo and Dolphin 100% polyester, but I am sure they would go for around 2 yrs if not more for me.They are the best design, best cut and the material is really high end too. This particular one, it is not as tiny as brief and not as huge as square leg. It's just right!

Lake Forest, CA
great suit
This is a great training suit if you want a bit more coverage than a brief, but don't want the high rise of most square leg or jammer suits.The rise is low. Closer to a brief than other square leg trunks I've used. My butt is pretty small, and I get *just enough* coverage in the rear.Other than that, I love this suit. I dig the old-school look of the logo band. The cut of the legs is great. Very comfortable, with no squeezing or binding. I just wish it had 1 cm more rise.

Felina Response: It sounds like you might have been wearing the bustier too high on the body. That is a common mistake. The sizing is done for the bra top to fit. A little lower on the body and pulling down the sides should have corrected the problem.
Candace from San Clemente, CA
Felina Response: We make this style up to the larger sizes (42DD) the back can't be lower or we would loose support. It sounds like you're wearing it too low on your body. Your breasts should not be popping out!
Sarah from ND
Felina Response: A thinner front would be great, but it would not give the smooth look that the current thickness does.

Chris Tom from AMD Zone has posted a review of the ATI A3 powered FIC AT31 Fusion motherboard. Does ATi have what it takes to make in the chipset business?
A full conclusion about the ATI A3 and the FIC AT31 Fusion would be premature at this point. Further testing in Windows XP and driver updates will help clear the picture up. If memory performance can be enhanced and 3D performance increased then ATI and FIC will have a successful product on their hands. 3D performance may very well be closer to that of the nForce 220 chipset, and we hope secure a board based on it to test with. We will be performing more tests soon on this chipset and hope to have bios and driver updates from both ATI and FIC soon so that we can come to a thorough conclusion. We will also look closely at the unique features that ATI has in their drivers, as well as look at performance with an add in AGP video card.More information at AMD Zone.

IndiaFirst Life Insurance today launched Autolife - a simple process of getting insurance cover instantly at an affordable cost.
"Under Autolife, automobile buyers can now not only ensure their family's happiness about also secure them from future uncertainties of life. They can avail the benefits of a life insurance cover at the same time and place as buying their new car and that too at an affordable cost," IndiaFirst Life Managing Director and CEO P Nandagopal said in a release.
Both the automobile and life insurance industries may seem to be non-related to each other, but they offer an interesting possibility for synergy, he said.
"There is a growing preference of investors for returns over protection and instant solutions instead of long waits. This we see as a gap as well as a great opportunity for us as we increase our focus on group business."
This offering is convenient as it does not require any documentation or medicals or waiting period and assures speedy settlement of claims within 48 hours, he said.
For this, the company has entered into its first tie-up with Varun Motors of Andhra Pradesh to offer life insurance cover to its customers. IndiaFirst Life is planning similar tie-ups at a national level across various untapped segments.
Varun Motors caters to over 15,000 customers every month who are spread across AP through 100 centres.
Under the tie-up for Autolife, customers of Varun (two or four-wheeler) besides availing vehicle insurance will also be able to avail a life cover of up to Rs 20 lakh.
Customers have the flexibility of selecting from any of the four options - blue, silver, gold or platinum, which will provide life insurance cover of up to Rs 3 lakh, Rs 5 lakh, Rs 10 lakh and Rs 20 lakh, respectively.
IndiaFirst is a joint venture between Bank of Baroda, Andhra Bank and UK investment firm Legal & General.

Buy-to-let buying activity set to increase
Buy-to-let investment from landlords across the UK is set to increase over the next 12 months, according to new research.
Rightmove's Consumer Rental Forecast noted that 74 per cent of property leasers surveyed planned on expanding their portfolio over 2013, which in turn will provide stimulus to available housing stock.
Landlords have been increasingly put into focus of late with the National Landlords Association (NLA) urging members to recognise the Green Deal, which has been enforced by the government to improve energy efficiency in properties across the country.
The results from Rightmove's forecast have provided a boost to the rental sector as tenants increasingly look to the market.
Tony Newman, of the Local Government Association (LGA) spoke of the findings and added: "With the housing market stagnant and a shortage of mortgages available to help first-time buyers, people are increasingly turning to the private rented sector to find a home."

Altavian gets 5-year contract from Army Corps
Published: Monday, August 27, 2012 at 5:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 27, 2012 at 5:19 p.m.
Gainesville company Altavian announced Monday that it had received a five-year contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain and support its unmanned aircraft used for surveys and inspections in Florida and Puerto Rico.
The Army Corps' Jacksonville District had a contract since October 2011 to use Altavian's Nova aircraft embedded with high-resolution cameras to inspect levees, look for invasive species and monitor Everglades restoration and waterways.
The Nova is a 10-pound aircraft with a 10-foot wingspan that is launched by hand and flies a pre-programmed route to collect data and take high-resolution photos.
Under the new contract, Altavian will continue to maintain and provide support services for the aircraft and the embedded technology.
The company was founded in February 2011 by three graduate students from the University of Florida Unmanned Aerial Systems Research Group. It has 13 employees and plans to hire as many as 12 more with a training grant from FloridaWorks, said Thomas Rambo, chief operating officer.
