Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) Schürzenwagen ( skirted passenger car ) compartment car, 1st class. Later the type Aüe 310..
Model: This car is ready for installation of the 7319 plug-in current-conducting couplers or the 72020/72021 working close couplers that can be uncoupled. The car looks as the prototype did in Era III. Length over the buffers 25.1 cm / 9-7/8 .DC wheel set 4 x 700580.
Traveling in Comfort in Streamlined Cars -The former German State Railroad demonstrated a high level of comfort and technical progress with the Schürzenwagen ( skirted passenger cars ) purchased starting in 1939. These cars were designed for a speed of 160 km/h / 100 mph and acquired their nickname from the tumble-home part of the car body in the form of a streamlined skirting down by the car frame. The DR wanted to use these completely welded cars to speed up trains pulled by steam locomotives in the 1930s. A large number of Schürzenwagen remained in the western zones of Germany after World War II, and they were gradually modernized by the German Federal Railroad as well as rebuilt from mixed class cars to cars with first class seating only. A number of units were painted in blue starting in 1951 for the revived legendary Rheingold . These cars thus experienced the high point of their service life. The Schürzenwagen were in service on the DB well into the 1980s.
The German Federal Railroad class V 200.0 diesel-hydraulic locomotive (Märklin-model 39800) goes well with Schürzenwagen passenger cars.

I've seen some comments about the book in other threads, but nothing here so far. Well - I guess I could start the actual book-commenting...
First of all I wish I'd had the opportunity to go through this book in a few longer reading periods rather then many short ones. As somebody else mentioned, the fascination of this story is about getting into the "frame of mind" of people living in a radically different place and time period than me. As it was - I got a little restless in my reading, generating an urge for something to actually happen during the first few hundred pages... First impressions was heavily influenced by this, and I found the authors strange way of describing people interacting with each other a bit tedious.
After a while, though, there was a "change of pace". I'm not sure whether it was due to changes in my mental state or the content shifting (this is a question I frequently ask myself when either entertained or bored by something). Anyhow, I "got into it" in a hole different way, and suddenly found it amusing at times. I found it timely that the author introduced some "action" when he did - the incident in the caves. A much needed boost in my opinion, but not really enough to last to end of the story. And after things had settled, the main point was yet again the difficulties regarding Anglo-Indian relations...
All in all, I found "A passage to India" to be not very entertaining, but quite educational. Obviously, the things that actually happens is not important, but rather the strange atmosphere that is created throughout the story. Strange gallery of persons - everybody comes off as rather stupid, either directly or through their actions. For several of the characters, though, this is mixed with sympathetic features and good intentions. This is sometimes amusing, and sometimes just plain annoying...

I am sorry Gow, It was too amusing not to leave that failed start in there.
Aside from misunderstanding on the nature of time, we added a bit more to the confusion mix by having a randomiser control the order of the stories.
Having taken the recording to fortnightly however this left us with a bumper of stories from the Steam Boxes to Playstation Now, World of Warcraft to the Wii U and even some news about the removal of the Online Restriction from SimCity.
Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.

Orson Charles, Sr., Plant
Charles arrived as a transfer from Riverview with a spotlight immediately on him. He had just 13 receptions as a junior, but when Murray was injured, Charles helped carry his team to the state semis. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound senior created a mismatch on every play. He caught a touchdown in 12 of the Panthers' 14 games. He averaged nearly 19 yards per reception and had four 100-yard receiving games and one 200-yard game. His 1,289 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns led the county. Oh, and he had six sacks at defensive end.
Most impressive accomplishment: In the Oct. 16 game against Hillsborough, when Murray was injured, Charles caught seven balls for 217 yards, both season highs, and two touchdowns in a 44-28 win.
College plans: He has nearly 40 offers but plans to take his official visits after the season. His list includes Miami, Florida, Florida State, LSU and Georgia, and he's being recruited as a tight end, receiver and defensive end.
Did you know? Charles, a devout Christian, prays inside his locker stall before every game, then again on the field for the safety of his teammates.
Ryne Giddins, Sr., Armwood
Giddins' numbers were down from his amazing junior season, but he still was the fiercest defender on arguably the best defense in Florida. While fighting off constant double teams and teams running plays away from him — "We tried to free him up all season long, moving him around," defensive coordinator Matt Thompson said. "But everyone was always on him." — the 6-foot-4, 230-pound Giddins is the total package of size and strength. For the season, Giddins had 75 total tackles, 21 quarterback hurries, five sacks and 10 pass breakups, anchoring a defense that pitched six shutouts during the season.
Most impressive accomplishment: In Armwood's region semifinal win over Tampa Bay Tech, Giddins scored two defensive touchdowns, one on an interception return and the other on a fumble recovery.
College plans: Giddins has narrowed his choices to Florida and USF. He's making an official visit to Gainesville this weekend.
Did you know? Giddins' girlfriend, Cierra Harris, a student at Brandon, is an aspiring model.
First team
QB Dontae Aycock, Chamberlain, Sr.: Dual-threat star accounted for 45 touchdowns
OL Darren Baker, Hillsborough, Sr.: Standout left tackle has tremendous upside
OL Justin Cabbagestalk, Armwood, Sr.: Vanderbilt commit anchored line
OL Jarrod Gant, Jefferson, Sr.: Technically sound tackle is likely Division I-A recruit
OL Cole Gilliam, Durant, Sr.: Cougars star was run-blocking bulldozer
OL Conor O'Neal, Newsome, Sr.: Two-way starter keyed running game
RB Lindsey Lamar, Hillsborough, Sr.: Speedy star averaged more than 11 yards per carry
RB Kenny Allen, Chamberlain, Sr.: Reliable back produced 1,351 rushing yards
RB Jarvis Giles, Gaither, Sr.: When healthy, is among nation's elite tailbacks
WR Allen Sampson, Plant, Jr.: Great hands, and even better after the catch
WR Anthony Williams, Chamberlain, Sr.: Big-play threat had 13 TD receptions
UT Mywan Jackson, Armwood, Sr.: QB was terrific run-pass threat
TE John Plasencia, Jesuit, Sr.: Northwestern commit can catch and block
PK Tyler Rhodes, Plant, Sr.: Combined strong leg (10 FGs) with great accuracy
DL Demonte McAllister, Alonso, Sr.: FSU commit had 19 sacks and 97 tackles
DL Theodore Jackson, Armwood, Jr.: Terrorized in first year as starter
DL Alton Bailey, Armwood, Jr.: One of county's top run stoppers
DL Dontavious Pyron, Chamberlain, Sr.: Great speed for his size
LB Petey Smith, Armwood, Sr.: Among nation's top LBs
LB Mike Mirabella, Plant, Jr.: Tallied 12 sacks and 104 tackles
LB James Wilder, Jr., Chamberlain, So.: Son of former Bucs RB has limitless potential

DB Jairus Jones, Wharton, Sr.: County's leading tackler averaged 15.8 a game
DB Hunter Baldwin, Plant, Sr.: 122 tackles, two INTs, two fumble recoveries

UT Erick McGriff, Jesuit, Sr.: Versatile player was Tigers' best athlete
P Matt McLaughlin, Tampa Catholic, Sr.: Pinned 11 punts inside the opponent's 20
KR Colby Walden, Hillsborough, Sr.: Average 18.8 yards per return, including one for 95 yards
Aaron Murray, Sr., Plant
Murray played only six games before a serious left leg injury appeared to end his season, but his return in the Class 4A state semifinal was an amazing one. Despite missing seven games, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Murray is still the only county passer to have 30 touchdown passes this season (vs. just four interceptions). He threw for an average of 275.3 yards a game and completed 60 percent of his passes. After throwing two touchdowns in the state semifinal win over Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer, Murray goes into this weekend's championship game just three TD passes short of passing Stephen Garcia's Hillsborough County career touchdown mark of 83.
Most impressive accomplishment: He has done so much on the field — an eight-touchdown game and a seven-touchdown game — but his most impressive feat was off it, where he accelerated the rehabilitation on his broken left fibula and dislocated ankle so he could return for the final two playoffs games.
College plans: Murray has finished classes for the fall semester and will graduate early so he can attend the University of Georgia for the spring semester.

text: Next week, the Darkroom Dubs label will drop Darkroom Dubs Vol. 3, a mix CD compiled and pieced together by the label heads in Silicone Soul, partly to celebrate 10 years as an active imprint. Pulled from the mix is this Robag Wruhme rework of Extrawelt's "Neuland"—the original of which appeared on Darkroom Dubs back in 2010. The veteran producer/jock takes Extrawelt's tune into territory that is somehow both more melodic and tribal (as he is wont to do), resulting in a piece of techno that is spellbindingly immersive. The complete Darkroom Dubs Vol. 3 mix will see a release on February 25.

I'm currently on the hunt for her daughter, who is "off the grid" except for her husband.

This is what I know about Johnston Copelin:

His parents are named Eudolphus and Ida (Johnston) Copelin. They were quite wealthy and did a ton of international traveling.

He had a brother named Phillip.

He went to Yale and was a journalist.

He died under mysterious circumstances in a hotel room in Lorain, Ohio. His death certificate is next to illegible, so I'm not completely sure of the circumstances.

That's about it.

I don't know if they had kids.

I don't know anything about her.

I'm so confused.

I missed genealogy.

They're basing this on an old book, called Bandit Invincible, by William T. Phillips, is an autobiography, not a biography and that Phillips was actually the famous criminal living in disguise.

The reasoning is that a) Phillips knew "too much" not to be the famous outlaw and b) William T. Phillips didn't exist until 1908, according to records.

I think it's crap.

He knew alot because he was a friend of the outlaw. That's a "documented" fact.

He didn't exist in records? Alot of other people didn't exist in records. As a genealogist, I know that's not the most documented time period. Also, what if he had a different name at birth? He knew Butch Cassidy, maybe he "worked" with him and then after he retired from the game he changed his name and settled down. It makes perfect sense to me.

I see a story that has been blown up, nothing more.Emily firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648769297842527690.post-6623449355722416742011-07-05T18:22:00.001-07:002011-07-05T18:22:47.313-07:00Excuse My Absence

I hesitated to write this post because I don't want to sound bitter. I'm not. I'm over it.

He wasn't a nice man.

My family remembers the better parts of his - his dog and his rose garden and all the damn Barbies he gave me.

They tend to forget the abuse, the knives, the police records with his name on it. The multiple wives, the army of young girlfriends (while he was married to the wives).

There was one wife in particular that stayed and put her life on the line for me once when I was 8. It's a bond she and I shared until Alzheimer's made her forget it; now I'm just another woman who sends her cards in the nursing home. I won't tell her exactly how I know her, ever. Dredging up though memories would hurt her more than enlighten her.

I found out about his death while I was at school. My mom came and told me. I was sad - for her, mostly. At his funeral, I sat like a rock. I wanted to stay and make sure dirt went over his casket, but a relative sort of led me away. Ive seen his headstone once - when we buried his brother, a WWII decorated veteran who kicked ass and took names.

I never called him Grandpa. It just didn't fit.

I'm sure he loved me. The best that kind of man can love anyone. He was an alcoholic and a gambler, which doesn't make him a bad person. He was just really messed up.

I haven't posted much lately because of my health. Currently I have bronchitis, walking pneumonia (almost gone!), an ovarian issue and I'm in severe pain that they believe is my gallbladder.

 However, I have been doing some research. I went to my second cousin's high school graduation, where I ran into several of my grandmother's friends and lots of relatives. One of them took me over to this big wall of pictures and started pointing out my relatives.

 When he got to one picture, he said "There's Juanita." Staring at her was eerie - I look like her in many ways.

For those who don't know, Juanita is my "Flora" on my mom's side. She is my great aunt. There's very little information about her, she had a marrying problem, and I cant find a death date for that woman, not even through the SSDI.

I have a feeling that this woman was another serious secretkeeper.

She was married at least twice, once to a professional football player. She was a sweet woman from what I've been told.

 I have the opposite problem with her than I have with Flora - I can't figure out Juanita/Dorothy's death details. She was listed as dead in her brother (my grandfather)'s obituary in 2003, but no one can tell me when she died and I can't find a record. No one can tell me anything.

 The thing about my family that I don't understand is the secrets. We have plenty of them, I'm discovering. Babies born out of wedlock in the 1920s, babies that starved to death, women who treat their children terribly, bigamy, divorces, flat out murder in one case... And then the people who just disappear, like Juanita.

 I've been spending my time in the hospital trying to find details of this woman's passing, but considering I can't even figure out what last name she died under, it's a bit difficult. I love challenges, but I wish my family was just a little bit easier.

In the past week the following things have happened:

I had a routine hospitalization (standard, I'm used to it). I got out for Easter.

A tornado hit the Saint Louis airport, stranding my fiance with me until Thursday (not complaining!)

While being forced to sit on my butt, I've discovered the shows Addicted to Food and Relapse.

I've seen movies - lots of them. Today we did a double header of The Conspirator and the new Madea movie. I loved them both.

I spent three hours trying to make heads or tails of Flora, and figured out something interesting...

 I should be asleep right now. It's almost midnight. But I just found something about Flora and I have to type it out.

On Ancestry.com I found a census, listing Zelpha Mangrum (her daughter) at age 13 in 1910 living with Ive Mangrum and his wife, Blanche (I love that name) in New Orleans. I didn't find it before because of the way they spelled their last name - Mangrich - but it's definitely them. Now I have questions.

Why was Zelpha living with her half brother (her dad's son) and his wife so far from home at such a young age? Why did they come back to the Missouri area? Ive was killed in a terrible accident in 1919 in New Madrid (he got beheaded by a cart, I won't go into details, but my strong stomach almost couldn't take the description I found).

I hear that Flora wasn't the best mother and threw all of her children out when they were quite young - I just didn't realize it could have been THAT young.

THANK YOU, HEATHER.

He's my 2nd-great uncle, my great-grandfather's brother. I had been assuming that his legal name was John, because that was his father's name (according to his death certificate), but Heather did a search and found a James L Rogers - and all the information (parents birth places, wife's name, birth place, everything) matched perfectly. You couldn't find a better match.

So then I went crazy on Ancestry. I use Ancestry as a starting point, especially since I see flaws on there all the time (today I read my grandmother is dead - pretty sure she isn't, I talked to her yesterday and she sounded fine). I put together a tree, and then print it, finding other sources to verify the facts. The only tree I trust on there is my cousin's, because I know the information on that tree is from family records in his possession.

 Over the next week I'm going to work on JL's mother, who was named after her father - Willis. Her full name was Willis Adeline/Adaline Weed, nicknamed Addie. She was the only child to two older parents (I'm presuming miracle baby/accident or adopted). All I have is her parents names - Willis Weed (Willie Weed?) and Martha Clay.

I also found my two 2nd-great aunts married the same man. First one sister did, then she died, then the other sister married him a year later. I find this remarkably creepy for so many reasons. I'm sure it was common, but still, I shudder at the thought.

JR Rogers is buried in the Rogers family plot in Blodgett Cemetery in Blodgett, Mo. Everyone else in the plot I can account for being related to somehow - except him.

I gathered from his death certificate he was born in the same county in Kentucky that several of my relatives (on both sides of my family) came from, so I know he's related in there somewhere. I found him on a census in 1930 in that same KY town, just a few years before he died. He was 54 and his wife, Maggie, was 44. They had two children - Mary, 6, and Clara, 4. Is it just me, or do you think they were possibly grandchildren? I can't find a death record for Maggie anywhere (she could have remarried) and the path for both girls is stone cold.

He's my project for tomorrow (Sunday.)

If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.

So when I went searching for my maternal grandparents' graves over the weekend, I encountered something I've known before - but still have no answer for. It's The Mystery Headstone.

My great grandmother, Stella Mae Belt Rodgers, has a normal headstone.

The "At Rest" part is appropriate, since she was a sick woman for most of her adult life and finally died of a ruptured gallbladder in 1941.

Then, there's this:

 That's her. It's down the row from her original headstone.

My question is why would it be there? Who did it? It can't be that old. I'm confused.

Does anyone have any answers?

 Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that my blog posting resumes tomorrow after a week long absence. I got a new computer, I've been on vacation… You get the idea. But tomorrow I'm back with a series of new stories, new pictures, and new discoveries!
 firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648769297842527690.post-68698002719151239942011-04-01T17:55:00.000-07:002011-04-01T18:09:57.815-07:00Who Do You Think You Are - Gwyneth PaltrowGwyneth Paltrow is the daughter of Blythe Danner and the late Bruce Paltrow, and she's very public about how much she values family, so I wasn't really surprised to see she did an episode of WDYTYA. And what an episode it was.

 It was all about the hidden lives of people, how beneath the angry and distant surface can be someone who has just been through hell and doesn't know how to deal with it. Her great-grandmother, Ida, was what was described as a "negligent" mother. She didn't take care of her kids, pretty much. Her son Buster, Gwyneth's grandfather, wasn't fond of his mother because of this (and really, why would he be?), and Gwyneth wanted to know what made this woman such a "bad" mother.

Here's why: the woman went through tragedy and death, plenty of both. Ida was in college when her mother died of cirrhosis of the liver (implied alcoholism, although it may have not been) and her brother died of an "intestinal blockage" just two months after that. A year after the deaths, Ida was "released" from college, probably for spotty attendance.

 Later on she got married and had several kids. When she was pregnant with her sixth child, her fifth one died by being run over by a wagon. The little girl was three years old. Just three. Ida gave birth just three weeks after that.

 This made me think about Flora. I have heard family stories about her, let's call it "parenting skills", and how they were lacking. She bounced around from husband to husband, she didn't really have roots I'm finding out. She supposedly kicked Robert (my great-grandfather) out when he was 14 or 15, causing a family rift, but he was the informant on her death certificate, so I'm not sure how true it was.

Crazy and heartbroken people are in every family. They have an impact whether we want to believe it our not. Ida was Gwyneth's.

John B. Hendricks, Sr. March 31, 1934 - July 29, 1993)

 I will not make this a downer post. I swear.

The gentleman in this picture is my grandfather (Flora's great-grandson). That picture was taken of us when I was maybe 3. I have other pictures of us when I'm older (not that much older, he passed away when I was almost 7), but they have people in them that probably don't want to be on here so I chose this picture instead.

 He died when I was two months away from being 7, but I remember him pretty well because he made such a big impact. I thought he hung the moon when I was a kid, still do. He was in the Army, he was an air traffic controller, then he opened a used bookstore. I practically grew up in that store, a once hole in the wall place that went from having two employees (the owners) to 9 employees today. Because he opened that store, I have a love of reading and writing, plus I have made so many friends throughout the years there.

 My favorite memory of him in there is when I went in when i was maybe 6 years old and tried to buy a bunch of books with my birthday money. I couldn't understand why he was giving them to me for free. I wanted to pay! I remember him taking the money and putting it back in my little purse. Eventually I believe he ended up taking a dollar from me, probably just to shut me up.

 Then there were the sacrifices he made. I'm not going to go into them, because they are deeply personal, but he did alot for his family. I didn't know it as a kid, but I sure as hell know it as an adult. The more I know about him, the more I realize he was a brave, sweet, compassionate man that I was very lucky to have in my life for 7 years.

I also think he'd get a kick out of the fact I'm a writer marrying into a family of air traffic controllers. :)

I'm going to continue to research her, but since it's getting frustrating I'm also going to start working on another side of my family - my mother's.

 At some point last summer I did a TON of research, but I still end up knowing very, very little about them. Here's what I know:

Her father (my grandfather - and I use that term very, very loosely) was born with his name spelled Rodgers and died with it as Rogers. Same with his brothers, but not his sisters.

One of his sisters was born Juanita and died Dorothy. No idea why.

That same sister (the only one that lived past childhood) was married to a football player for the Chicago Cubs back in the 1930s.

Supposedly, we're Indian. That's what I've always been told, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Right now I'm adding what I know into my database, then I start looking.

It's not as simple as one would think - these people loved living off the grid, apparently. Flora's middle child, her only daughter, Zelpha Mangrum Copelin is who is making me absolutely crazy.

 She married a man named Johnston Copelin. I know I've written that in a few other posts. I don't know the date, because I can't find a marriage certificate of any kind. I only got his name from Flora's obituary (which I'll be posting shortly) when she was listed as "Mrs. Johnston Copelin." That's a very uncommon name, so I headed over to FamilySearch and found his death certificate.

He died at the Graystone Hotel in Lorain, Ohio in 1940. I can barely read the cause of death except for the words "unknown" and "probably", so I'm guessing he was found dead in his room.

Everything on there fit - except one name. Of course, it was Zelpha's.

 His parents are listed as Ida Johnston and Eudolphus W. Copelin, born in New York and Indiana, respectively. His birthdate matches a census record I found. It all fit so well. But then there's the wife's name - Louise. I know that has to be Zelpha. Could she have gone by a middle name? Changed it? It couldn't have been a legal change, because she's listed in the SSDI as Zelpha Copelin.

I'm going to have to break down and order Zelpha's death certificate, aren't I? Any ideas?

One of the things I found in both places was the last name of Flora's daughter, Zelpha. She was born Zelpha Mangrum, but she married a guy named Johnston Copelin.

 According to a death certificate of one of her brothers, Zelpha (the informant) lived in LaPorte, Indiana. I didn't think anything of it. Then I did some research on her husband, finding out that his family was based in Indiana and Illinois. And then it hit me why I kept coming back to the name that sounded so familiar - Copelin is the name (spelled a bit differently) of the doctor who literally saved my life multiple times since 1996. (I'm not being dramatic, by the way - the man saved me as a kid, as teenager and as an adult. I owe him everything to the point he's coming to my "family only" wedding in August.)

Guess where he's from? That same area of Indiana. I know that the good doc and I don't have a blood relationship here, but I think it's so incredible that we do have a link - besides all the rearrangement he's done of my organs over the past 15 years. This is why I do what I do. I am still amazed in the connection. I don't know exactly how he is related to the Copelin gang I'm working on, but I'm making progress. I'm determined to find the link between him and I, even though it's probably ten degrees of separation. I don't care, I still find it amazing.

Home of the majority of my extended family, county records and, I've learned, a whole lot of family secrets and drama that are slowly unfolding before me.

 The first story I bring you is The Mystery of Ive.

 Family legend says that Ive, my 2nd-great grandfather, was in some sort of "accident in town" which ultimately caused his death (some say death was instantaneousness, others say he held on for awhile.) I searched and searched, but I could find nothing to back up this story. Not a newspaper clipping or a death certificate - in fact, I still can't find out where and when he died.

 The only thing that I saw about Ive the entire day I was researching was newspaper clipping from 1914 that said Ive Hendricks was taken to a hospital in Illinois for "an operation." It was very vague and cryptic, so that's all I know. I figured that the "accident in town" happened sometime after that, so I looked and looked for anything else about him and came up completely empty.

 However, when I was sorting through all of Flora's stepchildren - the multiple marriages, all to men much older than she was, brought her many stepchildren over the years- I found the death certificate for a guy named Carl Lee Ive Mangrum. He died in 1919, in St. Louis (160 miles from New Madrid), from an accident in town. He cracked the base of his skull and fractured his neck.

 My best guess is that it wasn't Flora's husband Ive that died in an "accident in town", it was her stepson, Carl Lee Ive Mangrum. (Maybe he went by Ive?)I consider this a definite clue and a hint that the elder Ive (Flora's husband) wasn't the one in the "accident in town", but rather he died from surgery complications or just poor health. I have no record or proof though.

 There's a brand new genealogy search engine up - Mocavo. For those who don't know what it is yet, it's a search engine that targets "genealogy websites", like Find-a-Grave and genealogy message boards and the like.

 I've seen mixed reactions about it. Some people LOVE it, some people HATE it. I haven't really seen anyone on the fence yet.

My thoughts:

I like it because it helped me find an ancestor I've been searching for for the past couple of months - Flora's daughter, Zelpha. I typed in "Zelpha" and "Mangrum", hoping to hit a marriage record - instead I hit her half brother's Find-a-Grave page (a Mangrum - someone I never knew existed) where she was listed as the next of kin - and it had her married name (Copelin) plus current residence location - Indiana. From there I was able to research with her new name and find her death record. After that, I was able to find several other of Zelpha's half siblings, which let me find her father's first wife who was somehow related to her husband's 3rd-4th (depending on the source) husband. It brought out a whole new path for me.

Yes, it's quite possible the path will lead to finding some inbreeding 4 generations back, but I'm open to it.

 I know that not all searches show up on the site yet. That's the biggest complaint I've heard. It isn't "expansive enough" yet. The site is approximately a day and a half old. It's still in its infancy and they are still adding websites, blogs, and other sites that we use all the time to help in our research. It's going to take time before it is all inclusive. You can help it by suggesting a website to add to the search engine.

I have added it to my list of websites to check when I get a new name to research. Who knows, I could be pleasantly surprised again!

She was the informant on a couple of her siblings' deaths and I have her last known address and I found out where she died.

 I then found out that before Joseph F. Mangrum was married to Flora (he was husband #2 or #3, depending on the source), he was married to a woman named Elizabeth (Betty) Hendricks from a little town in KY. The same area that Flora's #3/#4 husband Ive/Joe Hendricks was born in. Most likely scenario is that they're all related.

 I'm not sure what to think, except that I'm on the path to SOMETHING...

I love it because it works internationally, has wifi, internet / email /Facebook / Twitter capability, etc. When people call me I can see their pictures (synced with Facebook thanks to the amazingly simple FriendSync app), I have wonderful customized ringtones (people from work have one ringtone, my mom's side of the family has one, my dad's side of the family has one, my fiance's relatives all have their own specialized tone - it's my backup caller ID), it's absolutely perfect. And I have a wonderful protective cover on it because I tend to kill electronic devices.

 Now that I sound like a walking commercial for iPhone, let me tell you my new guilty pleasure on it - podcasts. Specifically genealogy ones. I never realized how many free podcasts are out there about tracing your family. I love the Genealogy Gems, Family History and the Genealogy Guys. I'm learning, I'm laughing, and I'm hoping someday to make a podcast of my own. Nothing fancy, but I do have a bit of a radio background, so I think I may be able to pull it off.

Got any special podcasts I should listen to?

It's a bit complicated at first, but I've spent a great deal of time over the past few days entering data into the program. Since my trip today was canceled because of a work thing and rescheduled for next Wednesday (I took the day off for it, and if anyone calls me in I will hurt someone, no joke), I spent my evening reviewing the sourcing section of the program.

I love it. I love the citations, the details. I have a journalism background, so I'm a sucker for documentation, sourcing and details. I can enter where I found all this information - death records, my aunt's research notes I received after her death, or newspaper microfilm. It's all perfectly documented now.

Did I mention I'm totally in love?

This may be a genealogical filled rant.

According to my great-aunt M who works at the funeral home, there's no record of where Flora buried. She went through records, both in the books and on the computer. We know she went to that particular funeral home because, not only is it the one listed on the death certificate, it was the only one in the area at the time (still is.) Unless they ended up cheaping out and doing something "at home" (which I seriously doubt), that funeral home had to have taken care of her burial.

 I have nothing at all to back up what probably happened - that this particular funeral home DID take care of her. For the most part, all I have is a line on a death certificate, which was informed by a man who, according to family legend, didn't care for Flora - his mother.

My next stop is heading down to the funeral home on Thursday to check records myself, then to city hall and a few cemeteries to look around and ask more questions.

So what would you do? Solving this woman's mystery is party of why genealogy is so exciting for me, the thrill of the hunt and all that, but sometimes it's so remarkably frustrating. I really do truly think that this woman does not want to be found and she wants her secrets to stay secrets. I will figure this out, I know, but it felt good to rant.

A huge sense of pride has swept the nation, and rightly so as the spectacle of the Olympics has raised everyone's spirits!
With that in mind – and even the sunshine showing its face – it's safe to say there will be plenty of people out to celebrate this weekend as the games draw to a close on Sunday.
Here's where it's happening in the Midlands.
In Wolverhampton, Whatever continues it's Friday night success at Gorgeous with a bass infused playlist from guests Benny Rich, Martin Crich, Danny Jones plus residents.
The Cuban Exchange has long been a place for a classic cocktail and a laid back vibe.
This continues tonight as long standing resident Adam Turner supplies a deep and soulful house soundtrack to ease you into the weekend.

Canes checking in.
This looks good. The problem is I suck so bad at controlling these games. Being mostly a PC gamer I don't have much experience with either post Genesis-era sports games or modern console controllers, and generally revert to button mashing as I try to remember what button I need to push to do a certain move. Most of the time I end up icing the puck as I accidentally shoot it in yet again from behind my own red line.
No biggie! We all gotta start somewhere! Inever started playing CoD until 3 years ago. PLaying online, I was brutal. Takes practice.
I wish the Free-for-All mode would come back! It sure helps with skating and puck skills.
Coming out from the basement!!! I'll take the Oilers.
Already have this preordered. With over 100 NHL12 online games played this past year this was a no-brainer. I'm in for some league play if there's room.
Then I will lay claim to the Blues.
Gah! I'll fall back to either Philly or Boston.
All it takes is one decent season for the bandwagon to get its wheels going :p
More St. Louis Jayhawk fans! It's pretty amazing how many of them there are.
Somebody's got to class up the joint.
I could be up for a GM Connected league.
As long as no one minds me sucking.
Well why the f*ck not!
Well why the f*ck not!
Excellent! I'll pencil you in for the Leafs.

Just for clarity for new guys, Green has the Habs. Unless he's really lost all patience for them, which, given they took Kaberle off our hands (!) and gave Cole half the Province's GDP, he might really have. (Smooooooch!)
If Green has any sense at all, he'd take the Sens instead.
See what I did there.
If Green has any sense at all.
Have you seen my f*cking avatar?
Yes. This is actually my dog. No, really.
Mon Dieu!!!
I'd be willing to give a league a shot.
Give me the Sabres.
Just wondering of the players in the league, what's everyone's skill level?
I've played EA NHL on and off since '92. Really started playing in 2002. But to be honest I lost interest in 2009. What they've done with the game is amazing, but I just found the speed in the game was lacking.
So to rate myself, less than Intermediate.
Seeing as ColdForged has the Canes, I guess I'll call dibs on the team I grew up rooting for...the Islanders.
The league needs at least one rebuilding project, right?
I barely played any real head to head games. I'm more of an otp guy so this will be kind of new to me
I updated the OP with the information who is calling dibs on teams, adding B Dog's choice of the Islanders.
And while I am a huge fan of rebuilding teams in all sports games, the chances of multiple seasons is pretty iffy. If I set up the league, I will try to use the shortest schedule as possible.
Understood. I was mostly being self-deprecating about my choice of team. That said, it will be fun to play with Grabner, Tavares, Okposo, Moulson, et al. And what are the odds that DiPietro gets hurt in a fictional league?
About as good as odds that Ryan Whitney gets hurt in the first 12 games. Ugh...
Out of curiosity, how would a league work? Are we talking just online play vs. each other, or the whole GM package where you manage your team, go through drafts, trades, etc.? I've played a ton of NHL12 this year but almost exclusively online head-to-head play. I know next to nothing about hockey team management. Not saying I wouldn't do it, just curious how much I'll need to temper my expectations.
And I'll just plan on Flyers if someone else would want Boston. Philly is the team I've played the most in NHL12 so I'd probably be most comfortable with them anyway.
I'll take the Kings, of course....This is XBox .. right?
I think GM connected is the way to go. Managing your team won't be that difficult, editted lines can be saved.
1 thing that could make things difficult is if they include their AHL affiliate. But if anyone is having difficulty, I don't mind lending a hand.
That scheduling method is awesome

FDA Announces New Reporting Tool for Livestock Animal Food Problems
March 20, 2014
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a new website for the public to report problems related to livestock animal food.
The Livestock Food Reporting portal will accept reports about foods made for species considered to be livestock, including but not limited to, horses, cattle, swine, poultry and fish. FDA encourages anyone with concerns about animal feed to file a report, including veterinarians and livestock producers. This new online portal provides an additional means for consumers to register complaints, and FDA's District Office consumer complaint coordinators will continue to accept reports via phone.
The Livestock Food Reporting portal is the latest addition to the Safety Reporting Portal, an online system designed to streamline the process of reporting product safety issues to the FDA and the National Institutes of Health. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers and public health officials at the federal, state and local level should continue to use the Reportable Food section of the Safety Reporting Portal. The Portal can be found here: http://www.safetyreporting.hhs.gov/.

The Sierra Bright Dot
I've been tying up some flies for family taking a trip to fish some streams in the Eastern Sierras in June, so I did some poking around to figure out what flies might be helpful for them. While asking advice someone passed along a link to the Sierra Bright Dot. So among the other patterns I tied I included a couple for each of them.
It's a simple fly. I tied it in 14 and 16 with 8/0 black thread. Tail is golden pheasant tippet, fore and aft grizzle hackle with red floss in between. Anyone fish this pattern?
I've read some books that talk about the origin of fly patterns and find it interesting. This fly is no different though what I've found is brief. It has been in use for over 60 years and its namesake is connected to the incident which gave Convict Lake its name, if you google it some information will come up. Hopefully it'll be useful for them on their trip, I figured if nothing else it might be nice to fish a more traditional pattern for the region. I tied a few up for myself to try here in Colorado.
Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
Some North Fork Yuba River fisheremen say it's the go-to fly for that drainage.

I have not read up on the fly, so I do not know its history. I use it as an attractor. I have caught trout with it, so I always have a few SDBs in my Sierra stream box.
Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
I fish em...named after a lady, I think....Dorothy Bright...good attractor in the E Sierra
Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
that is a dandy fly right there - have tied them with emu feathers, but lost all the flies and don't have any more emu. Think I will tie some just the way you did. Thanks.
Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
This is where I had read about Dorothy Bright...Steven Ojai's web page
The Sierra Bright Dot is a Fore and Aft pattern. The pattern has been used primarily on the Eastside of the Southern Sierra for many years going back to the 1950's. It has remained popular as an attractor pattern yet has not extended it's popularity beyond the Sierra. The Fore and Aft dry pattern goes back to the early 1900's as it's origins have been disputed between the French and the English. Jean-Paul Puguegnot's book , French Fishing Flies, cites a Doctor Juge who created Fore and Aft patterns in 1918. His Taquine pattern consists of a red thread body with grey hackles. Horace Brown of England also laid claim to designing Fore and After flies in the 1930's. Either way, the pattern eventually made it's way to the Sierra Nevada and became a major pattern for the region.
Trent Pridemore wrote about the Sierra Bright Dot in his article "Trout Flies Unique to California" (California Fly Fisher July/August 2008). He indicates that the "Bright" of Bright Dot is in honor of Dorothy Bright, the wife of a mine owner at Convict Lake, also known as Monte Diablo Lake at the time. The Brights owned the mining village while it was attacked by 6 escaped prisoners in 1871. This episode led to the name change of the lake. It is unknown who originated the Sierra Bright Dot pattern but it has been a preferred pattern for high elevation lakes and streams of the Sierra, particularly good with Golden Trout.
Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
Thanks for posting that, its an interesting history. It looks like a bit south of Convict Lake is a Lake Dorothy and also a Bright Dot Lake. Nothing very significant but interesting none the less.
Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
I have used that fly up in Golden Trout Wilderness on the Eastern Sierras and caught lots of fish. Could also be that the Goldens were eating anything that looked buggy too :)
Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
Very nice dressing William,
Re: " Anyone fish this pattern? "
Yes, we carry them in our small waters boxes ( dressed heavier for pocket water and with fluorescent floss ), where they rest alongside another hot spot type attractor fly. The Sierra Gnat which is just a Griffith's Gnat with a ( 505 ) fluorescent fire orange band of floss at the mid point. The latter I tend to use more often on still and slow moving water.

Parent to Parent
UI parents share their advice for move-in day and the big good-bye
Moving a child to college is a big transition for everyone. To help ease what's sure to a busy and emotional day, we asked a few parents who experienced move-in last fall to offer words of wisdom to the parents of this year's incoming class. Here is what they had to say:
"Based on our experiences moving three children in and out of college dorms and apartments, perhaps the best thing I can tell parents is something they already know:
As we raise our children, we hope we have taught them the means by which to stand on their own two feet. Have patience and let it happen. There will be frustrations with roommates. There will be homesickness. There will be classes that frustrate the most gifted student. Let your students stumble, fall, and figure out how to get back up again.
The point of all those difficulties is that our children learn how to function in real life. Give your children room to make mistakes and room to figure out how to fix them. Empower them to solve their own problems, and support their efforts. Don't step into the fray unless your child has attempted all other avenues to resolution and can support those claims. Even then, remember the best lessons in life are those we've learned from our own mistakes."
Cindy Fishburn, Freeport Ill.,
'When packing, be organized. Large totes are a great way to transport items.
Be prepared for some delays when arriving at your child's residence hall. The move-in crews do a great job, but cannot control the volume of students arriving at any particular time—or the amount of items they are transporting.
We have done the process of move-in with and without a designated move-in crew. The university has made this process so much easier by providing this assistance! Be appreciative of the staff assisting you."
Sue Connell, DeWitt, Iowa,
"The good-bye is always hard. We have sent four children to college. Jack was the last. It never gets easier.
I suggest trying to avoid saying good-bye in their rooms. It was fortunate that our son had a couple of friends that went away that year too, so we were able to say good-bye after a nice dinner, and drop him at his friend's residence hall. It seemed to lessen the intensity, make it less dramatic. It's hard on both ends, and I think if you can avoid leaving them in this strange new building alone, it lightens it for everyone.
Scheduling a future visit before you leave also is a

Life Changing Lap Band Surgery! - Dr. Johnell, Greeley, CO
I was huge. 243 pounds and 5'8". I was in a...
?This will sound weird, but the hardest part...
This will sound weird, but the hardest part of recovery was the liquid diet. I literally put food in my mouth, chewed it up and spit it out just so I could chew something. Seriously I thought I was going to lose my mind and I realize this was mostly an emotional / psychological thing. Luckily it was over soon. The other struggle has been adding sauces. Sauces became very appealing when I realized I could eat more that way. But in the last few years I learned I had to exercise and it's not optional. Sorry to break it to everyone who hates exercise, but that's the key. :D
More photos
Loose Skin Is GONE from my belly. Arms next. LapBand works.
The only negative thing was that since I was paying out of pocket, I don't think I should have had to jump through all those hoops that the other people were going through because of wanting their insurance companies to cover this. Fine and good with all the blood work and actual medical need but the classes were excessive and there was a lot of things that were part of the program purely to appease insurance companies.

Hello everyone,
Firstly I would like to say I know I am new to this community and shouldn't be asking help straight away but it is an emergency.
Basically I have a page with a contact form on, simple contact form with name, email, phone, subject, message e.t.c.
What I want to do is add another field which is a drop down menu from a MySQL database.
If you look at: http://www.av8jet.com/charter.php
You can see in the departures box, when you start typing, a list of airports come up, I want to do the same thing from my database but have next to no experience in php and mysql.
I have looked at their code but can't figure it all out.
Anyone who is willing to help we can pay a small fee but this needs to be done urgently,
Thank you for your time,

N'if'L: What if Cutler doesn't get hurt in 2010?
Can't-do attitude
"Elite" isn't the issue. And as Joe Flacco taught us in the first two months of 2013, it never really was.
Sure, prior to Flacco's flabbergasting run through the post-season, the club of Super Bowl-winning winning QBs had an exclusive membership of just six current NFL signal callers. Those players are of course:
Tom Brady (3 Lombardis)
Ben Roethlisberger (2)
Eli Manning (2)
Aaron Rodgers (1)
Drew Brees (1)
Peyton Manning (1)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but –- regardless how you'd rank those half-dozen names amongst each other –- we can agree they're the NFL's six best QBs overall. (I know, I know: you aren't positive I'm right. Think it through, though, and you'll realize I am. Go ahead … take your time. I'll wait.)

Cesc Fabregas: I'll be fit for Chelsea showdown
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is confident he will shake off a hamstring injury in time to face Chelsea in an eagerly awaited London derby on October 3.
Fabregas sustained the injury in a 1-1 draw against Sunderland at the weekend and it was initially thought that he could have been unavailable for up to three weeks.
However, the midfielder is now optimistic that he will be fit to lead his side out at Stamford Bridge in a game that will be a test of both teams' title credentials.
"The injury is not as bad as we first thought," Fabregas told Spanish radio station COPE. "There is no muscle rupture and I will be back perfect in about ten to 11 days.
"I am working with an osteopath in Paris and just working day to day. I think I will make the Chelsea game."
Fabregas is still expected to miss the home game against West Brom on Saturday and the Champions League trip to Partizan Belgrade the following Tuesday.
In his press conference on Thursday, Arsene Wenger said: "I hope that he will be ready for the Chelsea match and that he will be fine, but at the moment we don't know. It's too early."

Javier Bardem has revealed that it was the word 'uncomfortableness' that helped him develop the role of Silva for Skyfall.
Bardem takes on the role of baddie Silva in the latest Bond movie as he stars alongside Daniel Craig.
The movie sees Sam Mendes in the director's chair and together they worked on developing this character.
Speaking to MTV News the actor said: "[Silva] was open to different interpretations. It was Sam's idea for the word 'uncomfortableness' that made the imagination be triggered in me.
"From that word and from that key point came the look and the behaviour and the tone and all that."
It is the first time that we have seen Bardem on the big screen since he starred in Biutiful.
The movie sees him star alongside Craig, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw and is the first Bond movie since Quantum of Solace back in 2008.
Skyfall is released 26th October.

If you somehow managed to miss the original BioShock, which I might add is one of the best games of all-time, soon you'll have a chance to remedy that error in judgment.
According to a press release sent out by 2K Games today, the company will be releasing the BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on January 14, 2013 for $30, which not only collects the original BioShock, but also BioShock 2, all the DLC released for both games and a bunch of other cool collectibles.
In this writer's humble opinion, the original game is worth the $30 alone, but for some that might be a harder sell considering the game came out in 2007. Luckily, the inclusion of BioShock 2 adds to the value of the package, and while the sequel is nowhere near as memorable as the original, it's still worth playing to experience a story that mirrors the original game on a thematic level. What I'm trying to say is both games complement each other nicely.
In addition to the two games, the BioShock: Ultimate Rapture Edition also comes with the "Museum of Orphaned Concepts," which is a tour of never-before-seen concept art, character models and more, set within the halls of Rapture. It's a cool little extra that should please fans of the series, or even newfound fans that pick up this collection.
Below you can find the full listing of extra connect being collected for this compilation release. What do you think, will you be picking it up?
- Museum of Orphaned Concepts: Take a tour of a never-before-seen BioShock museum and view early concept art, character models and more set within the halls of Rapture.
- Plasmids Pack: Includes four additional Plasmids and Gene Tonics – Sonic Boom, EVE Saver, Vending Expert and Machine Buster – for use in BioShock.
- Challenge Rooms Pack: Previously exclusive to PS3™ and now available for Xbox 360 for the first time, the pack tests the player's mettle by requiring them to utilize the skills learned while traversing the halls of Rapture to survive three separate puzzle rooms in BioShock.
- Sinclair Solutions Tester: Contains a number of customization features that allow players to further their character's development in BioShock 2 multiplayer modes and provides a deeper multiplayer experience.
- Rapture Metro: Includes six additional multiplayer maps, an additional multiplayer gameplay mode and a rank increase to level 50 for BioShock 2 multiplayer.
- The Protector Trials: Features frantic combat and fast-paced action designed to push players' mastery of weapons and Plasmids in a BioShock 2 single-player experience spread across six maps.
- Minerva's Den: A substantial narrative experience that puts players in the role Subject Sigma and introduces new characters, locations and mystery to the world of Rapture in BioShock 2. Set in a new environment, Rapture Central Computing, Minerva's Den adds a gripping new storyline to extend the BioShock 2 experience.
- Also included, is an exclusive collectable sticker pack from BioShock Infinite's world of Columbia to get gamers ready for the next chapter in the BioShock universe.

The Bruins hold a two-game series lead over the top-seeded Penguins and are outscoring the Pens 9-1. The B's are playing arguably their best hockey of the season right now, and entering Game 3 at TD Garden they aren't taking anything for granted.
The Bruins know all too well what it feels like to be in the position that Pittsburgh is in now, down 2-0 at home in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Montreal in 2011. We all know how that story ended for Boston — with a Stanley Cup championship. That is exactly the experience the team looks to draw on heading into Game 3 at home against the Penguins.
Watch the video above to hear how the B's plan to use that experience to their benefit in the Eastern Conference finals.

Flawed MSNBC Report and YouTube Content
It appears MSNBC and the Australians are now perusing YouTube to retrieve user generated content and include with their newscasts.
[Sarcasm On]
Several important facts I learned tonight:
1. Single shot bolt action .50 caliber rifles are the weapons of choice for the Mexican cartels.
2. Single shot bolt action .50 caliber rifles can take down a helicopter. And I thought it was hard enough to hit a clay pigeon with a shotgun. It appears we should have equipped our troops all with single shot rifles instead of the Ma Deuce, think of the ammo savings alone at a $1 a bullet!
[/Sarcasm Off]
It truly boggles the mind that this level of slanted reporting is available. They claim to perform online gun sales without background checks when really it is a FTF sale with the internet being the equivalent of the old classifieds in the newspaper.
The most ironic thing is they want to tread on our individual rights to privacy etc. but then appropriate private video content and hide using the Fair Use doctrine for a content purpose that is completely contrary to the intended video purpose. A perfect example of this is a gentlemen shooting a Glock in his backyard in TN, what does this have to do with Gun Control in Australia?

Pastfinders Computer Users' Group
February 20, 2013
At our regular meeting in January, our treasurer Carol Rosum, presented a very interesting program about her family history research. One of the products of her hard work was a family album full of family information. A similar product is what we will strive for here but we'll make it on a CD that can be read on a computer so we can add many effects. We'll make it entirely with free programs but you can use commercial programs that you already have as well.
The most important part of what has to be done is planning how you want to do it and where you want to start. Will this be just your family or will it be yours and your spouse's? Will you include your immediate family or cover only your ancestors? How much do you alread have and what will require further research?
There are many options in creating such an album. One would be to duplicate what Carol did and create a page after page album of pictures, maps and data as though it were a hard copy and then transfer all of the data to a CD. One would press Next after viewing each page to get to the next. One could enhance that by adding a table of contents to make navigation easier, A somewhat similar approach would be to divide the CD into family sections with a table of contents leading to each family and links within the family to show all related items. One way to do that would be to copy each page of an existing album and enhance it where necessary, adding a table of contents and additional pictures, maps and text.
Having considered all of the options, I chose to base the CD on mine and Dotty's grandparents as a basis for ancestor presentation and have a separate section for us, our parents, siblings and descendants. Links will guide you through the relationships and accompanying maps and certificates.The format that we use.will use is the HTML format that your browser reads so you can post this on the Web if you choose to. We'll start by creating a page that I called "Title" which leads on to the separate sections. There are several ways that that can be done but I chose to start with a table using a free program called NVU that you can get at http://net2.com/nvu. You could use almost any word processor as long as it supports saving as or exporting in HTML format. We'll go step by step through using NVU and if you choose another program, find out from the Users' Manual how to accomplish the same tasks.
Go here to see what our partially done album looks like.
Having decided what you want to do, you have to make available all of the data that you need to do it. That means gathering and organizing pictures and documents that you want to include. If you don't have copies in your computer, you'll have to either scan them in or copy them with your camera. Organize it all so that you know where to find it. If there are people for whom you don't have images, you can try looking at all of the genealogical web sites to see if anyone posted pictures of your ancestors. Or if you'd rather have someone else do the searching so you don't have to, let Google do it. Go here http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi to Google Images and enter the name of an ancestor to see if someone has posted an image. If not a photo, you may get a painting so you may find images from before the photographic era. It's worth a try, especially for some of the more important people in your family history.
Since I based my album on our grandparents, I made 8 folders, one for each surname and then copied pictures and data relative to that name into the folder. Other folders can be created as necessary such as for your kids' families if they're married and even for your grandkids' families.
Those folders are to hold all of your data whether you end up using it or not. You also need to create similar folders that will hold only what you want to put on the CD. Create a folder called Family Album and in that, create a folder called CD and in that create folders similar to the ones you created above. Put the file Title in the Family Album but outside of the CD folder.
One source of my data was a 74 page photo album that Dotty had created many years ago. In most cases there were three or more pictures on each page. To make them useful for you project, scan each page and when you've done all that you want, open each page in Paint, use a rectangular select to outline each document, and copy it to the appropriate folder that you created above.
After downloading and installing NVU, start the prgram, click on Table and then use your mouse over the filled in squares until you get the number of cells that you want and then Click to insert them onto the open page. The width should be the maximum number of columns that you need; cells can be combined where a larger column is needed as for the title. Then click on Table again and then on Select and choose Table. Then right click on the table and select Table Properties. Under Width, overwrite the 100 with 90 and click on the down arrow after Pixels to choose % of window. Under Table allignment, click on the down arrow and select Center. That gives you a table that covers 90% of the page width no matter how wide the screen, You may choose other numbers or even choose to have a fixed page width. If you go that way, assume that a full screen is 1080 pixels wide. You can add or delete rows and cells as you go so start with your best guess at to what you'll need. If you need a table an even number of columns wide in part and an odd number in another part, create a second table for the odd number. At each step in the process that produces a menu, look the menu over so you'll know what other things you'll be able to do if you need to.
Once you've created the table, you have to enter the data that you want. To create a full width title box, point to the top left cell, click and drag across to the right cell. All top cell should show that they are selected. Right click in one of them and select Join Selected Cells. Right click again in the now full width cell and select Table Cell Properties and choose where you want the text to appear. I chose Top and Centered for a title. Now that you know where it's going to go, you have to choose how large the type will be. In the upper left, in the box that has body text in it, click the down arrow to choose the size that you want, I started with Heading 1 for the main heading. If the text that you enter wraps around, the size that you chose will continue; if you use Enter, then you will have to select the text size that you want again.
In the second row, I selected the two left cells and combined them and the same with the two right cells. In each, I centered the text at the top of the cell, used Heading 2 and entered text.
In the third row, I did the same but I didn't center the text and I used Heading 3.. The surnames entered here need to be linked to the document that covers that family. If you don't have that prepared yet, come back here and include the link. Do that each time that you complete the documentation for another surname. The document that you use to start that surname can be an image through which you select supporting documents, an html file that leads to other documents or a file in PDF format.
Before you enter a link to any data, move that data into the appropriate folder in the CD folder. Now when you put everything on a CD, the program will know where to find the data that you've linked to. To enter the link, swipe over the surname to select it. Click on Insert at the top left and then Link (or you can just press CTRL L) and then click Choose file, scroll through the files until you come to what you want and click on Open. And then on OK. It will search only for HTML files unless you select Image or Other Files in the search box.
You can then plan on how you want to present your immediate family and descendants. Plan it out. You know enough now about using NVU to process what you want any way that you want it. Your parents, yours and your kid' weddngs, full pages of pictures, biographies, documents.
On the title page, I listed links to our ancestors above and information about our descendants below. While that is good for us and our family, it doesn't help any cousins that may be interested. I have shown a couple of tables where a descendant cell is provided where I list our grandfathers descendants. Since this is a work in process, I will do that for all of our grandfathers. The Dill family may be the way that I will set up all of the others. But you can choose the approach that you want.
The interactive Photos were covered by the CUG on Feb 16, 2005 that you can get here http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~flpslc/21605.html And again on Nov 16 2011. It involves a process called a "Mouse Over" You can copy and paste the text below into a text processor such as Notepad, replacing name whereever it appears with the appropriate name, adding or deleting lines as necessary to cover the number of people in the picture. (The text in Bold is what has to be copied. Name numbers are only to help the user.) Save it with the html file extension. In Notepad you have to change the Save As from txt to All Files For each person, you have to create an html file that you can do with a Word Processor or with NVU. It's best to create a centered file in a box or one cell table. You can save files with either the htm or html file name. I try to use html because NVU only understands that name when searching for files.
Open the image you want to use in Paint and point to the center of the face of the first person that you want to identify. Note at the bottom of the page, the coordinates (x and y) and write them down. Move the mouse to the left or right to the edge of the face trying to keep the y coordinate constant. Read the new x coordinate and then subtract the smaller x coordinate from the larger x of the ones that you recorded. Use that value for the Radius ( r ) that will be used in the program listed below. Repeat for all faces but you only need to record the center point of the face; you have the radius. If the numbers don't show at the bottom of the page, at the top of the page click on View and then on Status Bar and the numbers will appear. The map name and the id name can be the same as the image name.
Copy this text by sweeping across it and pressing CTRL-C. Paste it into Notepad with CTRL-V.

You can wait until you are totally finished before creating a CD or you can create one at any time by using a Re-Writable CD. Each time you create a new CD it will overwrite the old one on the CD so you can see how it looks and feels.
In order to make the CD self starting, you need a program that will start when the disk is installed. Go here http://cdautoruncreator.com/autorunpro/ to read about and download Autorun Pro. Once you/ve downloaded it, click on it to open the folder. Drag Autorun and Autorun Pro to your Family Album folder. Click on Autorun to open it. Move your cursor to just after the = after Run1 and hold the left mouse key down and drag across everything after that and delete it. Then type in Title.html.
Insert the CD that you want to use and if you have a CD burning program, you can use that to burn the CD. Otherwise, you can drag the files that you want to burn to the CD/DVD drive in your computer. There are 4 files that have to go on the CD; the CD folder, the file, Title.html and the 2 autorun files. When you drag them to the CD, you will be told to wait while the disk is formatted. That could take a few minutes. Once eveything has been burned to the CD, you can open the disk drive and then close it again and the autorun should start with the Title folder. If your system security asks if you want to run the Autorun file from an unknown source, say yes. The program is safe. Check out that everything works and note what doesn't so you can have a lot of fun finding out why.
Windows 8. Suggestions from Lisa Beni.
On a new computer with Windows 8 installed you should do the following: Read the Users' Manual. Then decide what programs you want to install. Find the disks for them or if you downloaded them, copy the items that you want from the download file on your old computer. Start you new computer and the first thing will be creating a password. You will be told that you must open an account at Microsoft and the password that you create will work at the Microsoft site. Then look through all of the tiles to see what programs may have been pre-installed that you would like to keep. Try to sort out the Free from the Paid. And keep any free ones that you find useful. It's not a One Time Task so don't plan on getting everything perfect the first time but try to devote a few minutes a day to sorting out what you want and what you want to dump. Spend time learning how to navigate from the Metro Screen (Tiles) to the desktop. See the handout from our last meeting for some navigation tips.
Upgrade an Existing Computer:
Windows 8 System Requirements:
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch
If Win 7 runs on your computer, Win 8 will. Get the Win 8 Upgrade Compatibility Guide as described last month to see if your system qualifies and if it does, follow last month's instructions on upgrading.
Copying and Moving Files: In principle, if yhou arrange to have the Source and Destination file location visible, you drag the file from the source to the destination. If you do it by holding down the Right mouse key, you get a choice of whether to Copy or Move the file. If you drag with the Left mouse button, Bill Gates has already made the decision for you. You can open a file by clicking on the desktop Icon in the lower left of the desktop and selecting a file. To open a second one, hold the shift key down and repeat the above. Position them so you can see the origniating file and the destination folder.
Flash Drive: Copying or Moving from the computer to the Flash Drive: Plug in the Flash Drive and when a box opens asking what you want to do, just click the X in the upper right to close it. Open the folder containng the file that you want, click on the file and drag it as above to the flash drive If there's a specific folder in the flash drive that you want the file to go to, locate that folder by clicking on the tiny arrow next to the flash drive Letter and navigate through the list of folders to get the one that you want solely by clicking on the tiny arrows. Clicking any other way will open the folder in the space in which the file you want to move exists. If you prefer, you can open it that way and reduce both folder to reside side by side. Either way, drag the file in question from the source to the destination. It can be from the Flash Drive to the computer or the Computer to the Flash Drive. But there is a simpler way. Install the Flash Drive. Right Click on the file in question, click on Send To and select the destination that you want.
For a Hard Drive, plug the Hard Drive into the USB port and proceed as above. If you are using it for a backup, go through the backup procedure in the backup program that you are using and select the Hard Drive as the destination, selecting a folder therein as appropriate.

Swelling/Pain after Achilles Tendon Surgery
My father had a surgery after a rupture in his Achilles tendon. He casted his leg for 6 weeks. After removing the cast, he started the first session of physiotherapy. However, he started facing swelling and pain in his foot just after this session. Can you please explain the causes of this pain/swelling and the ways to deal with it?
Thank you.
Swelling and pain could result from the fact there is no longer any compression from a cast, and/or due to inflammation resulting from the attempt to regain function (flexibility and strength) of this recently injured and weakened area, and/or the development of a blood clot (which is hopefully not the case). If he hasn't already done so, your father should see his physician again as soon as possible for an assessment and recommendations specific to his needs.
