A new season of The Bachelor is underway and LiLo is back on the small screen. Here's a look back at this week's reality TV highlights:
The Bachelor
Colton Underwood began his journey for love with three-hours of sparkly gowns, virginity jokes and 30 hopeful women fighting for his attention during the Season 23 premiere of The Bachelor on Monday. But the 26-year-old former NFL player and first virgin lead to take on the show seemed more than happy about every quirky moment. His debut as the franchise's new star began with viewing parties all over America hosted by some series alumni, including Kaitlyn Bristowe, JoJo Fletcher, Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon, who tuned in with fans to watch Colton arrive at the famous Bachelor Mansion to nervously greet three dozen women as they attempted their grand entrances — some of which included an awkward sloth, Cinderella in a horse-drawn carriage, a fake accent and a bold woman whose first words were, "I haven't dated a virgin since I was 12." Thankfully for Colton, other women did make the night worth it, including Miss North Carolina Caelynn Miller-Keyes, who nabbed the first kiss of the season and 23-year-old Hannah Godwin, who secured the coveted first impression rose with her admirable vulnerability. But the evening wasn't complete without the introduction of the season's villain. Dog-mommy Catherine Agro quickly secured the title after making it her mission to spend as much time with Colton on Night 1 as possible, even if it meant stealing the bachelor away from other women. While her technique rubbed some of the ladies the wrong way, it seemed to work for Colton, who handed her a rose at the end of the night, while seven suitors were sent home before even getting a chance to unpack.
America's Got Talent: The Champions
America's Got Talent has been crowning $1 million stars since the reality franchise first aired well over a decade ago. But with the premiere of the show's new spinoff series America's Got Talent: The Champions, some fan-favourites and former finalists have returned to the spotlight to prove that they still have the skills that earned them their golden buzzers and confetti showers the first time around. Susan Boyle first appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2009 and became an instant viral star with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream. The platinum-selling Scottish singer made her comeback on Monday night's premiere to reflect on her stunning come-up story. "Most of the audience was laughing, but when I opened my mouth, that seemed to change," Boyle recalled. "Britain's Got Talent absolutely changed my life. People saw me as somebody quite ordinary. I lived alone with my cat, Pebbles. Now, I've sold 20-million records. Wow, even I'm overwhelmed. This has helped me fulfill the dream I've had since I was five." To capture the world's attention once again, she stunned with a beautiful cover of The Rolling Stones' Wild Horses, which earned her a standing ovation and the season's first golden buzzer from judge Mel B. "I just want to say what an absolute honour and a pleasure it is to be sitting here listening to you, and your angelic voice," Mel B said.
Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club
Lindsay Lohan is determined to change her public persona from party animal to boss with her recent return to the spotlight. And she's doing so by following in the footsteps of Lisa Vanderpump, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who takes a more mogul approach to reality TV as the boss of Sur restaurant on Vanderpump Rules. In the former A-list redhead's new MTV series Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club, she's traded in her problematic partying image for club owner to document the opening of her new day club in Mykonos, Greece. "I've gone through so much in my past," she said to the cameras. "People have always given me trouble for going to clubs, so why don't I just open my own?" During Tuesday's series premiere, the former Mean Girl imported nine new American employees to the Greek island to serve as VIP ambassadors of her vacation spot, including a player known as the "waitress slayer," a bisexual bartender, a 6-foot model and a feisty blue-haired go-getter. While Lindsay's intentions for the show may have been positive, she seemed to forget that the main ingredient for a good reality series is drama. And it exploded immediately once her staff moved into the villa and sat down for a tense initiation dinner, where one waitress made a bad first impression when Lohan caught her half-naked. "I want to build an empire here, this is not Girls Gone Wild," Lindsay said. "The kids from America I brought in are like party, party, party and I'm like no, no no, you're working."

About Merle Blair
Art has always been a major part of my life, and when I did not paint, I was always creating something. There were many years that I did not paint. I was waiting for the time in my life when I would have the time and the energy and that came with my retirement from my career as a nurse. Painting is sometimes a passion, I have to paint…an idea will keep me awake at night. When life gets too busy for me to paint I get frustrated and when I paint I can forget to eat or drink. My dog comes and reminds me that its time for her to eat. My art appreciation is growing and changing with more exposure to the art world. My own art is evolving as I love to try new subjects and new support materials..that is how Istarted painting on leather. I...

Life in the Hall of Champions
Resident of the Hall of Champions since January 2000
Da Hoss is very sweet, and is the easiest to handle of all of the Thoroughbreds in the barn. His assistant trainer taught him to 'give kisses' while he was still racing, so he does this to get treats. Hoss will gently place his nose to his handler's cheek to get a treat. He also loves his food, and will squeal with excitement when it is feeding time.
Thoroughbred Horse Racing
Thoroughbred horse racing is the most popular form of horse racing in the world. Thoroughbreds were developed in England by crossing three foundation sires from the Middle East with native English mares. These horses race on dirt, turf or synthetic surfaces.

The centre stretches much further than these areas, to the north as far as the busy commerce and trade area of Maslak and even across the Bosphorus to the Kadikoy area which is the hub of the Asian side of the city, and across the Fatih area towards Zeytinburnu.
Nightlife in the centre of Istanbul is extremely lively, with many bars and nightclubs spread across the area, offering entertaining evenings, especially in Taksim Square where all the Turkish celebrities gather. City centre restaurants also offer a great nigh time scene, ranging from traditional Kebab houses, burger joints, right through to fine dining restaurants.

Quick video outfit of the day for what I wore yesterday when I went into central to go shopping and catch up with my pals. I thought it was a little bit gothic with all the netting and the tulle hence the nod towards vampires! I'd have loved to have used A-Punk or something as the background but obvious copyright issues. It's my biggest gripe with video making not being able to use the music you think would be perfect for the video. I wasn't sure about this dress at first, I don't ever wear things that are this length as I feel they make me look shorter, but I quite liked the tulle and strong mix of girly but also quite tough. I really like the grey version of this dress as well which I think might worm its way into my wardrobe sometime soon.
I'm off to do loads of life admin now I'm back in London! Fun sundays! I have loads to sort out, bedroom to clean, kitty to cuddle, and I also need to think about what to make for dinner. I miss my mum's cooking already.

About the page you created, it was a double up of LCPD and had much less info. Sorry if I am making you feel bad, but I just deleted it, as L.C.P.D is never used in game, so it would have been an inappropriate redirect. I(f you have any questions or need help with anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. I will get back to you about your site. Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 07:10, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Advertising Take-Two Wiki
My personal opinion is no, we only advertise other languages for GTA Wiki, and the only place for that is the Main Page. However, you may direct your question to Gboyers (the creator of the wiki). You can contact him using his talk page. One thing that I will teach you is to please sign all posts on talk pages using four tildes ( ~~~~ ). Biggest GTA Fan EverTalk 23:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for asking about linking before doing it, I appreciate your patience and concern rather than blindly spamming links on other wikis. It could be okay to link to the Take Two Wiki on the Take 2 page, in the "external links" section. However this would only be appropriate if this was for informative purposes, to help readers of this wiki find out more about Take 2. It would NOT be appropriate if it was for 'advertising' purposes, particularly if the aim is to take people away from GTA Wiki for general GTA information. Feel free to add this link, but it should not be put on other pages, unless directly relevant (such as the pages of Take 2 employees). However, feel free to link on your user page and talk page. I think it would be good if you could link back to GTA Wiki on pages about GTA, and I think there is no point in your wiki duplicating content we have here. This would be easier if you were a Wikia wiki, but since you are not, we have to be more conservative in the linkage. Hope that helps. Also, I think "I am the best person in Northen U.K at I.T & Electricals" might be a bit of an exaggeration, and of course you have me to contend with! Gboyers talk 20:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
OK, firstly, Gboyers and I are not the same person. I got your message on my user talk and I didn't know what you were talking about. Also, it doesn't matter that there are new discussions under yours, it wasn't too far so you can place the message in the section (header) that you already had. With discussions like this however where there are more than two people, you could have just replied on this page, and whoever answered first, better for you.
As for my reply, go to the Take-Two Interactive page and click Edit this page. Create a new header named External Links, and put your link in there. Don't just type the link, you must use the proper wiki markup: [http://take-two.wetpaint.com Take-Two wiki]. He also said feel free to do the same thing on other pages where it is relevant. So on a page about a T2 employee, link to your page about the same person and vice-verser. And I agree with Gboyers, he IS alot to contend with in the area of computers.

Q: I have a successful business with exciting plans for the future, a part-time job, a family and parents who I take care of. I love my work and my family, but sometimes it feels like a lot of responsibility.
Lately, I just get one thing accomplished, and another appears. I'm worried about burning out - I haven't worked out in six months, I'm exhausted and not sleeping, yet I keep taking more on. Maybe I need to manage my time more effectively?
A: Improving your time management may be helpful, although I wonder if that will help you avoid burn out.
You seem like you have a lot of energy, drive and passion for life. And when you add a strong sense of responsibility to that mix, it can become difficult to know your limits. When you love what you do, you care and you feel personally accountable, saying 'yes' can become a habit and you can lose your perspective.
Here are some tips to help you put things back into perspective and create a better sense of balance:
- Consider your value of responsibility. How does being responsible relate to being successful? How is it impacting your ability to make choices that support a more balanced lifestyle?
- Declare your priorities. What is most important to you?
- Make a fair trade. What are you willing to say 'no' to, to get more of what you need to feel better?
- Get some help. What support or resources do you need to help you make a shift?
- Amp up your attitude of gratitude. Intentionally practise appreciating the positives in your life - it can help promote good perspective and well-being.

The "In the City" series combines some of Minneapolis and St. Paul's most noteworthy locations and engaging people with information sessions about Augsburg programs. Following Berglund's presentation, attendees can learn about Augsburg's weekend and evening undergraduate degree programs, the graduate certificate in social entrepreneurship, or graduate programs in business (MBA), leadership (MAL), education (MAE), or nursing (MANursing/DNP).

Internet Explorer 7 Features Leaked
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Internet, Software
Microsoft has made a point to stress that the next version of IE will primarily have just better security features. But aside from that, the biggest concern people seem to have is that IE needs to finally incorporate tabbed browsing. Ask Microsoft directly, and you'll get a big fat "no comment" in return. Insiders in the know are hinting that IE 7.0 will indeed be a tabbed browser. Other bits of information we're hearing: international domain name (IDN) support; transparent Portable Network Graphics (PNG) support, which will allow for the display of overlayed images; and new functionality that will simplify printing from inside IE 7.0. The new browser also will likely include a built-in news aggregator. Is it too late to woo back those who have switched over to Firefox?

President Barack Obama was repeatedly interrupted by a heckler whose taunts slowed the delivery of a major national security speech in the Washington, D.C. area.
The unidentified heckler began shouting at the president toward the tail end of his highly-anticipated address, when he touched upon U.S. policy toward detainees suspected of terrorist acts.
A woman in the crowd yells at President Barack Obama during his address to the National Defense University on Thursday.
Obama was forced to pause three separate times and talk over the protester, interrupting the flow of the closing section of the speech at National Defense University.
"I'm about to address it ma'am, but you've got to let me speak," Obama scolded the woman. "Why don't you sit down and let me tell you exactly what I'd do."
The antiwar group Code Pink, which often interrupts high-profile political events with vocal protests against U.S. foreign policy and national security strategy, said its founder Medea Benjamin was the person responsible for the interruption.
Though the president appeared somewhat irritated by the interruption, he said he was willing to cut the woman "some slack, because it's worth being passionate about."
He added after another interruption: "The voice of that woman is worth paying attention to. Obviously I do not agree with much of what she said. And obviously she wasn't listening to me and much of what I said. But these are tough issues, and the suggestion that we can gloss over them is wrong."
Thursday wasn't the only instance in which Obama was interrupted during a high-profile speech. During remarks last year about immigration at the White House, a conservative reporter, Neil Munro, heckled the president with a question about the impact of his announcement that day.

Investigators are asking for the publics help in locating a man who was seen in the Vallecito area the day Dylan Redwine was reported missing.
The man, who is not considered a suspect, was reportedly in the area looking for rental properties, said Dan Bender, spokesman for the La Plata County Sheriffs Office.
(He) is not a person of interest or anything like that, Bender said. Its just a person who was in the area that we havent talked to.
The man is described as Hispanic, between 45 and 50 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing about 170 pounds, with dark hair.
Dylan, whose 14th birthday was last week, was reported missing Nov. 19 by his father, Mark Redwine, who lives north of Vallecito Reservoir.
Investigators interviewed someone last weekend who remembered seeing the man at the north end of Vallecito on the same day Dylan was reported missing.
The tipster, who investigators declined to identify, said the man asked where he could find gasoline for his vehicle. The tipster did not have a description of the vehicle.
La Plata County Sheriffs Office is hoping the man might be a potential witness and not realize it, Bender wrote in a news release. Anyone matching this description who was in the Vallecito area on Nov. 18 or 19 is asked to contact La Plata Sheriffs Office.
The tip was a result of information left on a tip line at the Sheriffs Office.
If anyone feels they may have seen something unusual in Vallecito before or soon after Dylan was reported missing, we are encouraging them, including the man looking for rentals that day, to contact the sheriffs office, Bender said in the release. They may not feel what they saw has any connection to Dylans disappearance, but we would like to hear from them, and let law enforcement decide if it might be important.
A reward for information leading to finding Dylan is more than $50,000, which includes rewards through Crime Stoppers, the FBI and donations from residents and groups.
Anyone who may have information about Dylans whereabouts is asked to call sheriffs investigators Dan Patterson at 382-7015 or Tom Cowing 382-7045. People can call the tip line at 382-7511 or Crime Stoppers at 247-1112.

One's a receiver who has a need for speed. When NFL scouts clocked him last week, they used a sun dial.
Another soon-to-be draftee, a blocker, walks with a limp. At airport security, be sure to get ahead of him. The metal plate in his foot will cause a delay.
Our final prospect, also a blocker, answers to the name "Fluke."
My advice to NFL teams: Draft one of these guys. Better yet, take two. Or three. Others' potential may be exciting. Performance pays the bills, and today, here, we're recognizing performance. Sure, we'll sound like a tire commercial. Reliability. That's our trio's lead strength. No surprise, all three have ties to the college game's leading brand: Bama.
• Keenan Allen, Cal receiver.
Slow on the clock, fast on the field, Allen missed the final three games of Cal's 2012 season after damaging the posterior ligament in his knee.
He didn't run at the NFL combine two months ago, and when he sprinted 40 yards for scouts last week in his hometown, Greensboro, N.C., the hand-timed clockings (4.71 to 4.75) matched or lagged the combine-timed sprints of a few offensive tackles.
Slow down. Allen should be fast enough, if his knee heals. He caught more passes for Cal than anybody in the school's history. Was third in career reception yards.
NFL scouts must recall that Allen was the No. 1 target of a quarterback, Zach Maynard, who threw without consistent touch or accuracy.
Safeties and cornerbacks who faced Cal anticipated that when Maynard needed yards, he would target Allen, who also is his brother. Allen, who was recruited by Alabama to play safety, still beat them.
A week ago, when I asked if Allen's recent 40 would hurt his draft status, ESPN analyst Mel Kiper said yes, that Allen had fallen four spots on his board to 44. Give Allen a few months and an NFL quarterback, he'll go 44 yards for a touchdown.
• Barrett Jones, Alabama center
Three months ago he had foot surgery to repair torn ligaments suffered in the SEC championship game.
Despite the injury, he played well in the Tide's rout of Notre Dame in the national title game.
Jones is the chalk. Measured against him for football IQ and versatility, few recent college linemen can match him. In the SEC, he won all-conference honors at right guard as a sophomore, left tackle as junior and then center. Yet he may not be the first or second center drafted. Whoever selects him will get an ornery, sound prospect.
• D.J. Fluker, Alabama right tackle
Thank goodness for Twitter. "Put me on the field," Fluker tweeted in February. "Different animal."
Football sense for the football masses, that. Required to hoist iron at the NFL combine, Fluker had just raised 225 pounds 21 times in the bench press. Defensive backs beat that number. So did running backs. Meaningless.
You won't confuse Fluker with the quick tackles who'll be drafted ahead of him. In the NFL, he'll play right tackle or guard. He's neither fast nor pretty.
He'd make a great Raven – long-armed, ornery, powerful. And successful. Along with Jones, he leaves Tuscaloosa with three national titles. He can blot out the sun. When Bama ran the ball to his side, "it was just downright nasty," ESPN's Jon Gruden said in a teleconference on Monday.
When the Tide trailed Georgia, Fluker flapped his arms. He hopped around. He back-slapped teammates. He implored coach Nick Saban to run the ball to his side. Then he blocked and blocked.
"I want to be the Ray Lewis of my offensive line," he said.
His message to the hulks lined up against him?
"I'm going to take your lunch money," he said.

Announcing the August Featured Geocacher of the Month
We started honoring geocachers for their great hides, amazing spirit, and contribution to the geocaching community exactly one year ago. Nominations continue to come in from all corners of the world to recognize the young and the old, the cool and the geeky, and everyone in between who has made a mark on their community.
This month's featured Geocacher of the Month is described by her community as caring, dedicated, and helpful.
Congratulations to Wendy, a.k.a. whbaisden for being named August's Featured Geocacher of the Month!
Wendy is recognized for helping to organize the Hatfield and McCoy GeoTrail Kickoff Event scheduled to launch for September 1st. The GeoTrail cuts through Kentucky and West Virginia in the United States. Wendy has also been a strong advocate for her community since she launched on her first geocaching adventure in 2010, and she has no intention of slowing down.
A geocacher casting a vote says, "In the very short time she [Wendy] has been involved with geocaching, she has managed to instill in any number of people the joy of geocaching. She has managed to get multiple city governments and chambers of commerce aligned behind what has turned out to be a major event, possibly even a Mega-Event. Nothing in her previous geocaching experience has prepared her for this massive undertaking, but she has not wavered in her determination to succeed, nor has she been stopped by any obstacle. I think she had done a truly remarkable job and is worthy of recognition. It is for these reasons that I am throwing my support to Wendy."
whbaisden will receive a collector's edition Featured Geocacher of the Month Geocoin, along with a Geocacher of the Month hat and certificate acknowledging his contributions signed by two of the founders of Geocaching.com.
Thank you to the fellow August nominees and all those who supported them. The nominees not chosen as featured Geocacher of the Month will receive a gift of appreciation from Groundspeak. See a list of all the featured Geocachers of the Month here.
The geocaching community is encouraged to re-nominate those who have yet to be honored as featured Geocacher of the Month. If you know an outstanding geocacher who should be considered for the honor, send an email to email@example.com. Every nomination must meet the following requirements: Please include your name, the name of your nominee, their username, at least one picture of the nominee and description (in 500 or fewer words) explaining why he or she deserves to be the Geocacher of the Month. Please inform your nominee that you've submitted them for the award.
Nominations for the September featured Geocacher of the Month must be received by the end of the day on Monday, September 10th.
Once we have received all of the nominations, we will choose the top three candidates and post them on the Latitude 47 blog. You will then get a chance to champion your favorite. Our goal is to involve the entire geocaching community in this process so we might learn from each other.

Schneider upsets Dold to win 10th District
Early and absentee voting in Lake County may have helped give Democrat Brad Schneider an upset win over Republican Robert Dold in the 10th Congressional District.
With ballots in 419 of 419 precincts counted, Schneider had 130,676 votes, roughly 50.5 percent of the total, unofficial results showed. Dold trailed with 128,129 votes.
Early and absentee votes in Cook hadn't been reported as of late Tuesday.
Dold, a freshman lawmaker from Kenilworth, led all Tuesday night -- until the early and absentee ballots in Lake County were counted. Those late votes put Schneider, a first-time candidate and consultant from Deerfield, on top.
With supporters gathered at Viper Alley in Lincolnshire, Dold conceded late Tuesday.
At the Schneider election night party at the Hilton Northbrook, the congressman-elect thanked Dold for his dedication to the country and the spirited campaign.
"We did it! And, to be more fair, you did it," Schneider told the crowd. "Together we just made history."
A Democrat hasn't represented the 10th District in decades. The last was Abner Mikva, who had the post from 1975 to 1979.
Mikva was succeeded by Republican John Porter, who handed the reins to Republican Mark Kirk, who made way for Dold in 2010.
Redrawn for this election, the 10th District was regarded as the most left-leaning district in the nation held by a Republican.
In a battle that cost millions of dollars to fight, Schneider and the Democrats attacked Dold as a Tea Party sympathizer who was in lock-step with the Republican agenda.
But just as he did two years ago, Dold campaigned as a social moderate by proclaiming support for the environment, gun control and a woman's right to choose.
Dold criticized Schneider in person and in TV ads for not releasing his tax returns. Dold also went after Schneider's evolving comments about whether Bush-era tax cuts should expire.
Dold questioned Schneider's business background, too, repeatedly asking why Schneider's consulting firm had little income in recent years.
The Dold-Schneider race wasn't the national affair that voters choosing between Republican Joe Walsh and Democrat Tammy Duckworth in the neighboring 8th District experienced.
Still, donors of all stripes -- and from all across the country -- flooded the race with cash.
Political action committees, labor unions and other special-interest groups sent the campaigns checks. So did a former astronaut, one of the Chicago Cubs' owners and a member of the Kennedy family.
Daily Herald staff writer Scott Morgan contributed to this report.

I recently had the opportunity to travel from Portland to Houston. Since I had the time to waste on it, I decided to alter my route to visit the city of Albuquerque. Yes, we all know this to be the city of fame because it's the only word to feature 3 U's. That is a pretty impressive achievement, but I'm not going to denigrate that fine city by pointing out its inherent vowel-fouls. I'll just go with the obvious.
I took these pictures:
Fans of Breaking Bad need no explanation. The first photo is that of the White residence, and the second is that of Saul Goodman's office locale, sans giant inflatable Statue of Liberty. Incidentally, Saul's office is located a mere six or eight blocks from the house, which made this detour easily reward-able.
I had help from this site in finding the locations, and there are many more, but I had to get to Houston for my new job pronto, and couldn't stop for a car wash and some Pollos Hermanos chicken.

Current market: concert and party promoters that tend to target an 18-40 year old age range, we are currently geared toward the consumer solely and hand sell the event promoters
What we are expanding into individual ticket sales as well as larger event sales, so we will need to make a site flow that is easy for the individual ticket seller and event promoter.
To take the existing logo and create a new site design around the existing site as a functional wireframe for the design.
We need the following pages that are based on the landing page:
-The initial landing page with a compelling way to inspire event sales and browsing
-an event page- this is the page that gives you the description of one event
-A checkout page - This is the payment page, where the transaction is completed
(for this you will need to put items in the shopping cart and check out)
- A form page - this is where the person puts in their profile, name, address etc
-A login page - where the user logs in
-Shopping Cart page- where the items selected for sale are shown
-A general legal page- a general page to show legal stuff on
Note - The navigation must have some flexibility to add additional menu items at a later time (up to 3-4 items)
There is a existing alpha site to give you a wireframe of the site links and functionality located here :
our former site that we are unhappy with the design of is :
The above site has our color palette, but we are open to a color palette change.
this is an apha site so there are bugs, nothing needs to be in the place that it is currently located in the wireframe, no design work has been done here, it is merely a functional wireframe.
Included are some of the early versions of the logo and some of the original site pages from the previous site before we decided to redo the site.
Our previous site used the Orange and black color scheme in the attached psd file (snag_brokedown.psd)

Yolo CountyHome Sitemap Contact
How Can I Help?
Yolo County is appreciative of the people who have volunteered and helped county staff respond to previous events. Often, people will call up during the disaster and offer to help. While this is appreciated, it is generally preferred to work with volunteers who are known ahead of time. This allows the County to know the skills and training of the volunteers, and the volunteers to know the structure within which they will be working. There are different ways of accomplishing this.
- Sign up with an affiliated agency, such as the Red Cross. During a disaster, that agency will call you out and provide assignments according to their protocol.
- Register with the County directly. This can be through an established volunteer group, but participation in such a group is not required.
Established Volunteer Groups
The following groups have members who have registered as DSWs.
Yolo County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES). This is a group of amateur radio operators who provide their services as part of the American Radio Relay League's outreach to emergency preparedness capabilities.
UC Davis Veterinary Emergency Response Team (VERT). This is a group of veterinarians and veterinary students who provide animal rescue support in times of large scale disaster.
Disaster Healthcare volunteers
Disaster Healthcare Volunteers is a state sponsored program where medical professionals register with the state so credentials can be validated before the emergency strikes.
CERT Program
Another option is the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program. CERT training is primarily geared to assist people to help themselves and their neighbors in times of emergency, but could also be used to assist in large scale emergencies.
Yolo County does not have a CERT program for the unincorporated area, however there are programs in the City of Davis, the City of West Sacramento and the City of Woodland. All these programs are coordinated through the Fire Departments.
Training Opportunities
Red Cross Training: Beyond links to general preparedness resources, the Red Cross offers a number of training opportunities for the general public.
For those interested in basic information about the framework under which emergency responders work when dealing with disaster, visit: online training courses through FEMA. IS-100 (Introduction to Incident Command System) and IS-700 (Introduction to National Incident Management System) are good places to start.
For more information about helping during a disaster please contact the Office of Emergency Services at (530) 666-8150

KINNICK is the surname on which I have personally done the most research. Several earlier posts here are on that surname. The biggest single representation is the 2003 Kinnick Genealogy Book On-line at:
KINNICK is my mother's maiden name. With the exception of a few Germanic immigrants who adopted the name upon arriving in the USA, nearly all persons of the KINNICK surname are part of the same family, reported in the book, above. I'm always happy to help folks figure out where they fit. The early years of this family are now available in a print book - see:
I always look forward to hearing from any other family researcher who has included the KINNICK surname in their research. Hope to hear from some of you soon.
Family is Forever! ;-)
This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family's ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.

Jen Freymond scored three goals on Wednesday at George Mason.
The Liberty Lady Flames lacrosse team was not able to overcome an early 8-0 run by George Mason, falling to the Patriots by a final score of 14-9, Wednesday afternoon at George Mason Stadium. The Lady Flames fall to 4-5 overall, while the Patriots even their season record at 4-4.
Liberty gained the early advantage with 26:13 showing on the first-half clock. Morgan Becker worked her way into a shooting position from behind the net and fired home her 14th goal of the season to put the Lady Flames on top 1-0.
After the Liberty marker, George Mason quickly seized control of the contest, going on an 8-0 first-half run. Allie Hilderbrandt, Katie Mascolo and Caitlin Formato each scored two goals during the stretch for the Patriots.
Liberty's Kacie Fogle ended their host's scoring run with a goal off of a free-position attempt at the 8:03 mark of the opening stanza. Folge's seventh goal of the year cut the George Mason advantage to 8-2.
The Lady Flames' defense held George Mason scoreless for the remainder of the half, as Liberty went into the break trailing 8-2.
The Lady Flames came out strong in the second half, scoring twice in the first 3:21. Jen Freymond fired home her 11th goal of the year, before Amber Nichols notched her fifth tally of the year, trimming the Patriots' lead to 8-4.
George Mason pushed the lead back to five goals at 9-4, before Nichols scored her second marker of the game with 25:20 showing on the second-half clock.
The Patriots tallied the contest's next four markers to increase their lead to 13-5 with just under 13 minutes remaining in the second stanza.
After a George Mason foul at the 11:54 mark of the second half, Liberty's Freymond whipped a goal into the top of the net off of a free position attempt. The tri-captain's second marker in the game pulled the Lady Flames within seven at 13-6.
Rachel Obregon tallied the Patriots final score of the contest with 10 minutes remaining in the final stanza.
The Lady Flames tried to rally netting the game's final three goals in the last three minutes of the contest. Becker scored her second and third tallies of the game to push her past Nina Dunay for the team lead in goals with 16. Freymond notched her third goal of the contest in the waning seconds of the game, making the final score 14-9, George Mason.
The Lady Flames held the overall edge in draw controls, 13-12, and was a perfect 4-4 on free position shots. George Mason outshot Liberty 33-24 and was successful on 16-of-18 clear attempts. Liberty went 11-of-14. Both teams finished the contest with 17 ground balls and eight caused turnovers.
In goal, Kristen Masullo notched five saves for the Lady Flames, before giving way to Kristin Boland mid-way through the second half. Boland tallied three saves in just her third game of the year. Caroline Brouse and Brittany Pastrana combined to make 11 stops between the pipes for the Patriots.
Liberty will have a 10-day break, before its next contest on March 30 against Davidson at the Liberty Lacrosse Field. The Lady Flames' Big South opener is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. and kicks off a string of five games in nine days.

Spain Considers Making Digital Copyright Law Worse: Pleasing The US Again?
from the never-ending-story dept
We wrote a couple of weeks ago how some were arguing that Spain ought to go back on the "naughty" Special 301 list for failing to show any "positive developments" on the copyright front recently. By an interesting coincidence, the Spanish Internet Association has just published a leaked draft of proposals to make digital copyright law in Spain even harsher. Here's how the Web site ADSL Zone describes them (original in Spanish):
The new proposals have a clear intention: to amend the Criminal Code to allow criminal prosecutions of Websites that provide links. According to the leaked document it will be an offense to provide ordered listings and categorized links to protected content, developed for this purpose and involving an active and non-neutral maintenance and updating of those lists.
Interestingly, Google wouldn't be affected by the new law according to ADSL Zone, nor would "occasional links" be prosecuted. Of course, everything would then hinge on what "occasional" meant in this context.
There's also the following proposal:
Second, the paper seeks to limit the concept of private copying. This will require us to be in possession of the "original media". This is really incompatible with the current reality, since there are legal platforms like Spotify or iTunes where you do not have that "native support".
The concept of "original media" is meaningless in the digital realm, where files are copied many times as they traverse the Internet, or as people move them around on their storage media. How on earth would you prove that your digital copy was "original"?
Finally, there is a suggestion for making the copyright levy system not only worse, but in conflict with current EU plans to rationalize it:
no matter whether we copy or not, whether or not we have the "original media", the fee will be charged in any case.
In an age where storage media are becoming ubiquitous -- if Samsung's refrigerator is running Android, it must have storage -- such levies are anachronistic and harm innovation, so Spain's plans to push on with them is one more indicator that it's heading in the wrong direction. The big question, of course, is why it is doing this: is it simply the usual story of lobbyists' privileged access to government ministers who aren't interested in whether the new measures are fair or even effective? Or is this once more the heavy hand of America reaching across the water to put a little pressure on its Hispanic friends...?

Stephan Garabed Jarjisian
Stephan Garabed Jarjisian, or Steve as everyone knew him, was a PhD student at the University of California, Berkeley. He was known by many students, as he was an graduate instructor for several classes including Animal Behavior and the Psychology of Sleep. He was finishing his doctoral dissertation under the advisement of Dr. Irving Zucker at the time of his tragic death.
He loved music. He loved playing his guitar on his balcony that overlooked the Bay, and he loved singing. When he whistled, which he did so perfectly, you knew that he was happy in that moment (and he whistled often). He loved listening to Rush, Taj Mahal, Pink Floyd (he once said that "Dark Side of the Moon" was the best album ever recorded), and Miles Davis. Every summer he would go to multiple Phish concerts near his hometown in Philadelphia with all of his friends, whom he cared for so much.
He loved cooking and had a special talent for creating culinary works of art. He loved fishing here in the Bay as well as down in the Caymen Islands where he spent so much time with friends and family. He loved reading, and especially admired the works of Kurt Vonnegut and Jack Kerouac. He loved watching films; his favorite movie was "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" which he got to enjoy watching on the big screen at the United Artists 7 Theater on Shattuck Ave last fall.
Steve had a vibrant personality that no one could forget, and everyone that he influenced was inspired by his intelligence, insight and most of all his generosity. He was very compassionate and empathetic towards others, and saw the "good" in everyone he met- most of all he loved life, with all of its trials and errors he still saw the beauty in the world and embraced it. He was so loved and cherished, and those that had the fortune of getting to know him will always remember him and keep his memory alive in their hearts.

What kind of chair will fit your training room? Hertz Furniture's wide selection of task chairs will fit a range of styles and budgets. Our computer chairs come from reliable manufacturers including OFM, Boss Global and Eurotech. We even offer extended warranties on many models so you can be sure that our executive chairs are in it for the long haul.
What is the most important thing to look for in a task chair?
Ergonomic task chairs come in many shapes, sizes and styles. The first feature that should be considered when comparing models is the lumbar support. When the lower back is positioned correctly, the whole body will feel more comfortable. Many office chairs have padding that includes built-in stationary lumbar support. Because each person has a unique build, adjustable lumbar support can be quite helpful. Rather than assuming that the regular computer chair configuration will fit everyone, each employee can enjoy perfectly-placed supportive pressure.
Which of your office chairs are adjustable?
All of our office task chairs have adjustable seat heights and bases with casters. These standard features are essential in the workplace. When two colleagues need to collaborate on a project which requires many hours of cooperative work, one can simply roll their chair over to the other's desk rather than having to sit in a guest chair or carry a heavy item across the floor. Adjustable-height chairs will save money in the long run because they make it possible to ensure that seat height will always correspond to the desktop, even if new office desks are purchased or chairs are shuffled around.
Any task chair with the basic amenities can be put in a school computer lab, library computer center, or any other place where desktops are used for short amounts of time. Students and teachers do need to sit comfortably while they conduct research or learning programming, but it is not essential for the chairs to have many extra adjustments if students are not sitting in them on a regular basis. Lower-budget task chairs with basic padding, support and adjustability are intended mainly for such situations.
Who needs an ergonomic task chair?
In a setting where professionals are seated at desks for entire work days, especially if they are working on computers most or all of the time, additional features are necessary. If technical writers or administrative assistants spend extended amounts of time typing and clicking in an incorrect position, this can have long-term effects on their bodies. Even in the short term, the pain and discomfort that results from improper posture can lead to loss of productivity, a need to take more sick days and in some cases even surgery. However, proper positioning with a custom fit enables workers to maximize their hours at the office.
For all-day comfort, you need more ergonomic features. Adjustable tilt angle and adjustable seat depth enable each person to keep their spine correctly aligned with cushioning in the proper places. Adjustable tilt tension is another feature that can really enhance the best task chairs.
What are the benefits of an armless task chair?
Task chairs come both with and without arms. While it might seem that armrests are always helpful, but that is not necessarily the case. An office chair with armrests will not always fit well with a work surface of any height. Armless task chairs can be pushed into desks or tables neatly no matter what the height of the desktop is. However, adjustable armrests can be helpful because of the added support that they provide.
When all of the factors that are related to health and comfort have been taken into account, it's time to think about style. Mesh task chairs provide a healthy airflow throughout the day, which is especially desirable in hotter climates. Leather office chairs are a classic favorite that project elegance and expertise. Even among fabric-upholstered chairs, there is always the matter of choosing the ideal color. For science and health applications anti-microbial vinyl is the optimal choice.
Any one of Hertz Furniture's task chairs will provide excellent seating in an educational or professional environment. With the right combination of appropriate support and attractive styling, you get seating that looks and feels great. We have HON task chairs as well as models from Eurotech, Global, Office Star and many other manufacturers. Choosing from such a wide range of options can be daunting, so if you require some expert advice, don't hesitate to call the Hertz Design Center.

The whole northern afica is fairly linerar, which means that you can hole 2 fairly big bonuses by holding 3 territories. What bonus region are the grey territories with slanted lines trough them in?
Constantanolpal has the a and l switched.
Bonuses- is it really only one for hungary? It should be like 4. Also, I am having trouble matching the colors on the map with the ones on the key. More different colors would help, I see only one green you could change something, mabey the one that is like northern egypt, I can't figure out what that is called.
Holding cyprus and england gives you +4! That seems like too much.

Now, about this one, I've got a lot of concerns and there are a lot of things you have to change.
I see there will be only eight starting positions and everything else is neutral, just like feudal war or Age of Realms, though bonus are just like classic shapes. One thing is kinda opposite to the other, i think.
Then, why is The English Channel worth of 10 neutral and turns always to 10 neutral? What's the point?
Then, there's an unfair thing about the goal objective (which I don't really like, but this is just a personal opinion). That is, Christians Must hold Jerusalem, Tripoli Antioch, Edessa and The Vatican and Muslims: Jerusalem, Tripoli Antioch, Edessa and Granada. Though Granada has 3 neutrals and Vatican 6.
Then about the territory bonus, why don't you group them into major groups? And beyond that you have a lot of diferent type of bonus which will just make the gameplay of this map really hard.
Just think a little on this and the playability of this map.

Established as a British royal colony in 1692, Maryland has enjoyed a rich and exciting history from pre-colonial times to the present. First a home to the Susquehanna Valley Indians and a staging ground for incidents related to both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, Maryland sits strategically between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coast.
Today that strategic locale provides residents and visitors plenty of recreation and opportunity for diversity.
From skiing at Deep Creek Lake to horseback riding over the rolling hills of Baltimore County to boating and fishing on the Chesapeake Bay to lying on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland lives up to its claim of being "America in miniature."
Working for Sinai Hospital will provide you with a wealth of opportunities for personal and professional growth. But you won't want to miss out on all that the Greater Baltimore area has to offer.
Residents and visitors alike find the variety of landscapes, diverse cultures, exciting neighborhoods, historic landmarks and friendly people (who call you 'Hon'), charming and entertaining.
Sinai Hospital sits near the crossroads of Northern Parkway and Greenspring Avenue in the Northwest section of Baltimore. This area features neighborhoods that are rich in both the Jewish and African-American cultures, and is also home to a growing number of immigrants of all nationalities, particularly Russian and Asian.
One can find an authentic Jewish deli just a stone's throw from a restaurant featuring Caribbean cuisine and down the street from a Chinese restaurant with a kosher menu. Families live in homes that range from modest apartments to grand homes built in the early 20th century. There are also a number of modern contemporary town homes and 1950s era brick duplexes on tree-lined streets where children play.
If you are drawn to the city lights, downtown Baltimore and its sparkling Inner Harbor are just a 15-minute drive south on I- 83. Featuring the National Aquarium, shopping and dining at Harborplace and live entertainment at the Power Plant Live, the Inner Harbor is a great place to start your exploration of a city that simultaneously holds on to its unique past while embracing a progressive future.
Beyond the Inner Harbor, Baltimore's neighborhoods present an ethnically-infused diversity all their own, and the personality can change dramatically from block to block. Fells Point, Hampden, Little Italy, Mount Vernon, Roland Park and Charles Village are just a few of the neighborhoods where you will find unique restaurants, one-of-a-kind shops, live theatre and music, and festivals of all kinds held throughout the year.
Sports enthusiasts will not be disappointed. Baltimore boasts both the NFL Baltimore Ravens and the MLB Baltimore Orioles, as well as a the Baltimore Burn, a NWFA woman's football team, the Baltimore Blast, a major indoor soccer league team, and the Baltimore Bayhawks, a major league lacrosse team. The Ravens and Orioles play in recently constructed stadiums just west of the Inner Harbor.
The state capital, Annapolis, and the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., are less than an hour's drive from downtown Baltimore. Annapolis is home to the Maryland Statehouse, the U.S Naval Academy and streets rich in historical and colonial charm. In Washington, D.C., one can watch our nation's lawmakers in action or view some of the country's most treasured art and artifacts on display in the Smithsonian Institution's galleries and museums.
Those willing to travel farther afield, will find that Philadelphia is less than a two-hour drive. A trip to the mountains of West Virginia, the Atlantic Ocean or even Times Square in New York City are just about three hours from Baltimore proper.
In a 2003 study, Baltimore earned first place ranking for lowest cost of living among 20 U.S. metropolitan areas. So, Baltimore is not only a great place to work, it's an affordable place to live!

For those of you who don't already know this, the floppy-haired Midwestern kid who was the former proprietor of this site is an avid movie buff. While sitting in his parent's outhouse shucking corn as a young Mattoonian, he often dreamed of becoming a snooty film critic where he can tell the world how great Woody Allen is long after they're tired of hearing how great Woody Allen is. Sometimes it's not even fun to go to movies with Will because, after it's over he'll inevitably become condescending and make you feel stupid for liking or disliking something he feels strongly about. (Go ahead. Tell him "American Beauty" is your favorite movie. Then duck.) But ever year there's a movie that one William F. Leitch falls madly in love with just based on a trailer or a concept alone, then if the movie turns out to be everything he'd hoped it be, he becomes obsessed with it. One year it was "Punch Drunk Love"; this year, it's "The Wrestler" directed by Darren "Ass to Ass" Aronofsky and starring Mickey Rourke as a Randy "Macho Man" Savage-like character. Even though it's an odd premise, the film is inexplicably getting all sorts of Oscar talk right now. And, Will, of course, has vowed to pound this drum until everyone listens to him and Mickey Rourke gets his statue. (If you don't agree with this notion he will most likely say something along the lines of "I'm surprised you're able to walk upright" or something.) Somehow he kept his composure and pulled together "Ten Things You Need To Know About 'The Wrestler'" for New York magazine's Vulture blog. I admit, regardless of how awful an experience it is listening to him yammer about movies, he makes a compelling case for this one:
Rourke's Randy "the Ram" Robinson was a star wrestler in the eighties, which means the whole movie is soundtracked by glorious, awesome hair metal, his preferred genre. Haven't heard Accept's "Balls to the Wall" in a long time? You're in luck: The Ram rocks out, HARD. One particularly amusing exchange between the Ram and Marisa Tomei's stripper, Cassidy, features the line, "The eighties fuckin' ruled, man, till that pussy Cobain came and fucked it all up." Expect to hear the soundtrack played ironically at Christmas parties on the Lower East Side.
And there are nine more of these. Ten Things You Need to Know About The Wrestler [Vulture]

Anyway today is suppose to be a happy occassion - however a tinge of sadness does underlay it. The sad part is that I would never be able to to celebrate such days with my dearest LT. In the more than 15 years I have known him, he was never the type to display the romantic side of himself in public. However on special occassions he would present me with little gifts when I least expect it of him. He knew I liked pink and he would go out to buy me small little items in this colour, such as handphone cover, a pink tee shirt, pink golf set covers.
I remember on my birthday last year when I picked him up after work to go out for dinner, he sheepishly placed something at the back of the car. I didn't know what it was until we reached our destination. He then told me that he had bought a dozen and half pink roses for me. In the day time he would ride a motorbike (as it was easier because of the work he did), so I can only imagine how he had transported the roses back from the florist. I thought it was so sweet of him to do this.
In writing this, I dedicate this post to my dearest LT and to everyone who is in love.
"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart" Quote by Helen Keller
Chocolate Cake with Pink Swiss Buttercream Frosting
Makes 2 layer 8" cake
Recipe Adapted from Here
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cups good cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup buttermilk (alternatively use 1 less 1 Tbsp cup milk + 1 Tbsp lemon juice or white vinegar. Let sit for 10 mins before using)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (eg. canola, corn, sunflower)
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee (I used espresso coffee sachets)
1) Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter 2 (8-inch) round cake pans. Grease the pans with some butter on the bottom and sides. Then line with parchment paper
2) Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed until combined.
3) In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
4) Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Makes 6 cups
Recipe Adapted from Martha Stewart
452g (4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 egg whites
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1) Beat butter with electric mixer until fluffy and pale. Transfer to small bowl.
2) In double boiler over simmering water, whisk sugar and egg whites until warm and sugar is dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to clean bowl of electric mixer; beat on high with whisk attachment until fluffy and cooled, about 10 minutes.
3) Reduce mixer to medium-low; add butter a scant 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
4) Switch to paddle attachment; beat on lowest speed 3 to 5 minutes. Leave at room temperature if using same day. (If you are staying in the tropics, it is best to put the frosting in the fridge for about 30 minutes before using.) Or store airtight in refrigerator up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature; beat until smooth.

Man Accused In Uranium Deal Had Fake Passport
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Sierra Leone says a man who has been charged in the U.S. with brokering a uranium deal intended for Iran is in fact not a citizen of the West African country and was traveling on a fake passport.
Sierra Leone's information ministry announced late Wednesday that the passport Patrick Campbell was arrested with had been issued in 2004 "through very dubious means."
Officials say Campbell is not a Sierra Leonean citizen but "an apparent common criminal using a false name."
They said their investigation revealed he first boarded for the journey in Nigeria, not in Sierra Leone.
The 33-year-old man was arrested last week in New York and is accused of traveling to the U.S. with a sample of uranium hidden in the soles of his shoes in his luggage.

On January 21, 2011, I started this blog. One year and 172 posts later, it has been quite a trip. It has been a fascinating journey to follow the story of emancipation day-by-day, and to realize just how much changed between January 1861 and January 1862.
At the beginning of 1861, many politicians in the North and border slave states practically were falling over each other with eleventh hour efforts to forestall further secession and convince the states that had left to return. (Their efforts were like a clumsy spouse trying to appease their disgruntled partner as they move their things out the door.) These initiatives culminated in Washington Peace Conference of February 1861 that was rich in sentimentality but bereft of any solutions that would actually hold the Union together. Abraham Lincoln too would offer an olive branch to the South upon his inauguration in early March, but of course it would be rejected, leading to the attack on Fort Sumter in April as the Confederacy sought to assert its independence and sovereignty.
In hindsight and with much irony, it is clear the Confederate assault on Fort Sumter arguably was perhaps the most potent blow ever struck for emancipation. By making war on the federal government, the Confederates effectively turned it from a protector and abettor of the peculiar institution into its implacable foe and the increasingly witting ally of the slaves. To crush the rebellion would require depriving the South of its resources to make war, and the slaves were a particularly valuable asset for the Confederacy. Hence, when confronted with the choice of whether to return escaped slaves to their rebel owners, Gen. Benjamin Butler made the critical decision in May 1861 to give them sanctuary, inadvertently opening the floodgates of freedom to whatever slaves could reach Union lines.
Of course, without the initiative of the slaves Butler likely never would have had to make the choice that culminated in the First Confiscation Act in August 1861, legally depriving rebel slaveholders of their human property. While few sources exist on what the slaves were feeling and thinking in 1861, it is clear from their actions and their background noise in the writings of white people that they believed the war was about them, however much that whites denied it, and that they were prepared to use the conflict to try to gain freedom. Their efforts in this regard were less the result of conscious collective action, as masses of people that wanted the same thing–freedom–saw their opportunities to achieve that goal and took them.
The slaves found abettors to their goal of freedom in the Union military. Certainly, Union forces did not start out intending to help the slaves gain freedom–quite the opposite. In the earliest days of the war, Union army leaders, in particular, tried to act in a conciliatory fashion toward slaveholders in the border states as they staged for action against the Confederacy. But contact with slavery, slaves, and slaveholders soured many Union soldiers on the peculiar institution as they confronted it up close for the first time. They could experience firsthand the arrogance of slaveholders and see the suffering of the slaves. Even if they dismissed what they saw, Union troops often recognized that fugitive slaves could make their own lives easier by performing labor in their camps. Hence, through countless individual acts, the soldiers in camp undermined slavery in the loyal slave states even as Union military campaigns into Confederate territory began to accomplish something similar, most notably the Union landing at Port Royal, South Carolina, in November 1861.
By Fall 1861, it was increasingly clear to an growing number of influential Union personalities that a war simply for Union was simply not enough. That to achieve a true and lasting victory, slavery must be destroyed. A bold and foolhardy John C. Frémont would use his power to try to bend the Union cause to the end of emancipation, and be rebuffed by President Lincoln. But even Lincoln by the end of 1861 would be taking a tentative step toward emancipation by encouraging Delaware to enact gradual and compensated emancipation.
So, 1861 proved a critical year in the drama of emancipation in the American Civil War. At the beginning of 1861, freedom for the slaves seemed inconceivable. By year's end, it was at the very least an increasingly realistic possibility, if not a foregone conclusion. Such was how the war's outbreak had changed the political landscape for slavery in the United States. Yet it would require further developments to make emancipation a reality, and I look forward in the second year of this blog of following those events as they transpire in the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, plus bringing up whatever else that arises that proves to be of interest.

And this morning was my first morning with the Robur back on the counter.
As a result, this gives me a chance to revisit my Anfim vs Robur at home thoughts.
To sum it up simply... if I had to recommend one of the two to a home barista I would absolutely recommend the Anfim. It's simply easier to work with and wastes far less coffee than the Robur. In fact, the only real negative of the Anfim for the home (as compared to the Robur) is that there are some coffees that I was never able to get optimal shots with. The stepped grinder adjustment meant that there were three times where the ideal extraction fell between steps.
Of course... both of these grinders are obscene overkill for the home. But if you're the kind of person who thinks too much is just the right amount - then I'd seriously suggest the new Anfim over the Robur.
