Learning About Irish Research from WDYTYA
I wasn't sure I wanted to watch as I'm not crazy about Rosie. But I love the show so couldn't bear to miss it. I'm so glad I didn't! It was really interesting to follow along as Rosie traced her Irish ancestry on her mother's side.
Having hard-to-find Irish ancestry myself (maiden name McGinnis is a clue...) I found new ideas presented in the show that I can use in my own quest. For example I didn't know that the Irish Poor Law Union records exist. Rosie was able to find details on her Irish ancestors in these records, as their emigration to Canada was noted in the Minute Books.
My Roman Catholic ancestors were from Northern Ireland so today I had a quick peek at PRONI and learned that many of the N. Ireland Poor Law Union records do exist. Wow I am super excited! My Irish came over to Canada about the same time as Rosie's (ca 1845) and since Ships Passenger Lists to Canada were not archived before 1865, it's hit and miss trying to find records of immigration.
Oddly enough I knew that England Poor Law Unions sent many poor to Canada as part of their local assisted emigration. But it never occurred to me that Ireland might have done the same thing! Irish Poor Law Unions began in 1838 (England's in 1834) so it's another tool for those of us searching for early Irish ancestors.
I can hardly wait for next Friday's episode of WDYTYA!

My mother and her family came from Cork in 1930. When I started doing this side of the family genealogy I thought it would be easy to find them and track them back. I had forgotten about the Rebellion and the records that were lost in Dublin. Being a researcher by profession, I have traced the family to 1860 and my great great grandfather. I have also founnd a second cousin in Manchester England that I didn't know about. I am at a disadvantage because I am the only one left of the family and I'm working with letters and offical papers. But it can be done, with patience and time.

My mother's family is from Cork. They came to America in 1930, so I thought it would be easy to find the records. I forgot about the Rebellion and learned that records were lost in Dublin. Luckily for me I am a researcher by profession and I have traced the family to 1860. I am brickwalled now, but I will work through it. I am at a disadvantage because I am the only one left of the family and am working from memory and what I have found in letters and offical papers. I have managed to find my second cousin w

Supervision Conditions & Special Programs
The following are the conditions for probation and parole supervision programs. In addition to the supervision conditions listed below, most offenders are required to comply with special conditions of supervision that relate specifically to their case. Restitution and counseling are examples of commonly imposed special conditions. In addition to the standard conditions of Probation and/or Parole, offenders assigned to a special program must comply with additional supervision conditions.
Standard supervision serves those offenders in the community who are less likely to re-offend and who do not fit the criteria of special programs. Some offenders are placed into standard supervision if they are pending acceptance in special programs. The following are the conditions of Standard Probation Supervision.
Per statute NMSA 31-21-5, parole means "the release to the community of an inmate of an institution by decision of the board or by operation of law subject to conditions imposed by the board and to its supervision".
Intensive Supervision provides concentrated supervision to each region's most high risk offenders. These offenders typically include gang members, repeat felons, and violent offenders.
Community Corrections Programs primarily serve offenders in the community based on the risk level and the needs of the offender. These offenders often have greater treatment needs. The Department works together with the behavioral health collaborative to provide the most suitable behavioral health services these offenders. Community Corrections programs also serve as a diversionary program for probation/parole violators who would otherwise likely be incarcerated.
The Drug Court Program is specifically geared towards individuals who have drug/alcohol addictions, which have contributed to their criminal activity. The following are the standard conditions of the Drug Court program.
Offenders asking about their money not applying to their account (COPS). Offenders must contact their parole officer.
A parent or relative calls in asking about when the offender is getting released. They must contact the Parole Board 505.827.8916 / 505.827.8878 / 505.827.8825
Family members of the offender asks who is going to be the Parole Officer. They must contact the specific Region Officer Manager.

Community Corrections programs primarily serve offenders that are assessed as presenting a higher risk for reoffending and who have multiple barriers to success in the community. Individuals may present with chronic mental health needs, medical issues, chronic homelessness or multiple failures at completing substance abuse rehabilitation programs, among other matters. Community Corrections programs address behavioral health and life maintenance issues that have proven to be a challenge for these offenders in the past. Programs require close collaboration between Probation-Parole Officers and community treatment providers. Programs also serve to divert offenders who may otherwise be incarcerated. Community Corrections also serves as a release mechanism for high risk/high needs offenders returning to the community after prison.
Transitional Coordinators are a specialized probation officer, trained to assist individuals who are in need of additional resources in order to be successful on supervision. There are two transitional coordinators in each region throughout the state. Transitional Coordinators work closely with treatment providers, transitional living and halfway houses, release planning, and community resources.

It is the purpose of this Compact to promote public safety and protect the rights of victims through the control and regulation of the interstate movement of offenders in the community. In addition, this Compact provides for the effective tracking, supervision and rehabilitation of these offenders by the sending and receiving states. New Mexico became a member of the new Compact in April 2001, which is governed by NMSA 1978 Section 31-5-20.
The Interstate Compact Office (ICO) is responsible for administering the compact on the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision (ICAOS) and is the central hub of communication between New Mexico and the compact states.

(CNN) -- Gearing up for further bloodletting, airlines seem to be performing pre-emptive triage.
On track to lose more than was projected in 2009, airlines scramble to cut losses.
With more than $6 billion in losses through June, the global airline industry is on track to outpace the initial yearlong prediction that it would lose $9 billion, said Brian Pearce, chief economist for the International Air Transport Association, which represents about 230 airlines.
"Airlines are in survival mode," as they approach the end of the third quarter, Pearce said from his office in Geneva, Switzerland. "They're trying to raise cash to carry them through, are starting to see some benefit, but they've got a very long way to go."
Among the number of recent U.S. airline announcements meant to offset losses: A paring down of Southwest Airlines flights; the layoff of 921 flight attendants at American Airlines; a creeping up of baggage check-in fees at US Airways, among others; and the exclusive use of smaller, cheaper to operate regional jets for United flights out of St. Louis, Missouri.
Pearce said fares have fallen by up to 20 percent to keep flights full, and while he doesn't think they're going to drop further, he also doesn't think they'll rise significantly, especially while consumers are still hurting. But given what's expected, airlines have to get scrappy, he said.
"Rising fuel costs are coming ahead of rising revenue," he said.
There have been small signs of economic growth in Asia and Australia, Pearce said, and for airlines that fly internationally, an upturn anywhere can prove beneficial. But that does little to help many airlines that might rely on still-burdened domestic consumers.
There was a time, historically, when airlines were two or three months behind the economic curve, said Michael Boyd, president of Colorado-based Boyd Group International, an aviation research and consulting firm. Now, however, they have to stay ahead of it if they want to stay afloat.
With pre-emptive moves, U.S. airlines may break even or do better this year on domestic travel, Boyd said, adding that there's no such thing as seasonal traffic spikes during economic times like these.
With the ongoing recession and fall in consumer spending and demand to save and scrape where they can, the airlines are "acting like squirrels, putting away nuts for the winter," Boyd said.
Southwest Airlines has prided itself on not surprising customers with new fees, such as charges to check bags. The airline recently announced a paring down of flight routes -- canceling, for example, flights between Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Portland, Oregon -- and a repositioning of aircraft to serve routes that are making more money.
In addition, Southwest has introduced "EarlyBird Check-In," which airline spokesman Brandy King described as one of the "out of the box ways to increase customer service and at the same time increase revenue."
Passengers flying with the airline, which doesn't have pre-assigned seats, can pay an optional $10 one-way to snag an early boarding position and better seat.
While it is billed as a customer service option, Boyd saw this move as further proof that "ancillary revenues are more and more important" during this economic time.
"Southwest has left a lot of money on the table because they haven't been charging," he said.
The airline industry came into the recession while still reeling from the 2008 spike in oil prices, Boyd said. While he thinks passengers have seen every possible new fee that can stick (US Airways' attempt to charge for water died quickly), he said he wouldn't be surprised if they keep creeping upward.
Overall, "for airlines, it's going to get worse. For the passengers, it can't get worse," he said. "Consumers can rest assured that the travel experience will be just as uncomfortable as ever. The planes will not be more crowded; they're full right now. The thrill of traveling through an airport and being treated like cattle -- that will continue."

When we were in Penang, my younger boy did not show any interest in edamame, I did not expect him eating the other day but he surprised me. Thus, I bought another pack today for boys healthy snack. If you are new to edamame (枝豆), it is immature soybean and commonly boil or steam before serving. Edamame is rich in carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, and micronutrients, particularly folates, manganese, and vitamin K.[source: wikipedia]
For its goodness, I can see many mame days to come. I always boil the beans, perhaps next time I should try the baked version. By the way, I added the leftover in sake meshi (salmon rice) I cooked for dinner.
200 g fresh edamame (in pods), rinse
1/4 tsp salt
500 ml water
- In a pot, bring water to a boil.
- Add in salt and edamame, cook for 2-3 minutes stir a few times for even cooking.
- Drain and rinse with running water to bring down the temperature quickly. Drain well and serve with extra bowl/basket at the side for empty pods.

Miami Marlins
Miami Marlins taking frugal approach in luring impact players on trade deadline
The Marlins' quest to upgrade their starting rotation figures to lead all the way up until Thursday's 4 p.m. trade deadline. But just because they want to be buyers, it doesn't mean they plan to spend foolishly, president of baseball operations Mike Hill said Wednesday.
One thing Hill said he has made clear to other clubs: "We're not trying to take off our major-league club, not key components."
"We're trying to add," Hill continued. "But to reshuffle or rob Peter to pay Paul doesn't really accomplish what we're trying to do."
The Red Sox, shopping left-handed All-Star pitcher Jon Lester, reportedly wanted left fielder Christian Yelich from the Marlins in negotiations. The Marlins wanted no part of that.
Hill said while landing a rental like Lester "is not ideal" it is something the Marlins haven't ruled out. "It all depends on the cost to acquire a rental and if it sidetracks what we're trying to do in the long term," he said.
Second base remains an area the Marlins would like to address, but that probably will get tabled to the offseason.
With Jordany Valdespin being a solid producer since being called up on July 19, Hill said the Marlins are content with him splitting the job the rest of the way with Donovan Solano. So upgrading the pitching staff remains the top focus.
"The early bullpen questions have settled. Guys have gotten into more consistent roles and performed better," Hill said. "It's no secret that as we've played better, we've pitched better."
Hill said owner Jeffrey Loria remains supportive and connected to every decision the front office makes. "He's obviously part of the process," Hill said. "We update him on where things are. But he wants to win as badly as anybody. He knows where we're at, and what we're trying to do."
Does Loria want to win badly enough to add payroll? "I would say we're looking at everything," Hill said. "Money deals. Prospects deals. We're looking at everything."
How important is it to make a move to show fans and the team the front office is really going for it?
"Whether we're able to make a move or not I think they know we have their back and supportive of what they're trying to do," Hill said of the players. "We're going to do our best to try to upgrade, but we're not going to be foolish. We're not going to be short sighted."
This and that
• Utility manEd Lucas
, back with the team after being sent down to the minors on July 20 so the team could add an extra arm for a road trip to Houston, had a funny line Wednesday about how the Marlins went 9-1 without him.
"I'm happy. But at the same time I'm thinking, 'Man I must be a pretty bad teammate…" Lucas said. "It kind of makes you question yourself a little bit."
• Former Marlins catcherJohn Baker
, 33, pulled off a rare feat for the Cubs in Tuesday night's 16-inning win over the Rockies. He scored the winning run and picked up the victory as a relief pitcher. That's the first time that's happened for the Cubs, who have been around since 1876.
"That's definitely cooler than picking up seven saves in 10 days," said closer Steve Cishek, one of the few pitchers left on the Marlins staff who worked with Baker before he was traded to San Diego following the 2011 season. "If I could drive in a run and get the win that would be even cooler. I think [Burke] Badenhop did that a couple years ago. I'd take that."

Any consequential pornoholic has undoubtedly at least heard of the tube position known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm compliant to wager, entertain fapped to it on more than undivided occasion. Representing some of you, it effectiveness peaceful be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the example in any event , you are certainly not alone. In occurrence , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster oftentimes ample supply to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Nucleus , it is the third most famous indecent put on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 before Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the plat wanted to do something discrete from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming eccentric of the top lionization of common media sites like Facebook and Twittering , xHamsters founders disunite a distinguish at liberty to forge a instal that was similar to parts porn tube and xxx sexual media site. A spokesperson during the install said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant in favour of people who wanted to inveigle , stock exchange venereal pics and dividend unskilled videos ... to regard reciprocated friends online and perhaps identify partners interested in warn relationships." I over it is decent to asseverate that x Hamster has done a bang-up chore of providing the dais that they kit into public notice to present , as it has behoove a cornucopia of tiro and homemade user-uploaded content. As deteriorated as the " dig up partners interested in communicate relationships" area is responsible , granted , I cannot state one's position to. I own not in any degree felt the be in want of to alternative to a porn locale to light upon my " imply relationships," but I am completely exotic to identify if anyone's in any case had any fortuity with that point of view of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded topic , granted , wrangling is destined to draw nigh sooner or later. With the figure up of people gone from there in the excellent who are on the sick-list fucks—not on the sick-list fucks who allot all prime fapping in their mothers' basements the street you are a stricken fuck, I'm talking loyal , clinically unsound odd fucks—a install like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they yearn for was resolved to grace inundated with outlawed and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting venereal tides and establishing a drift of respectable calling , though. In April of 2016, as instance , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to forthrightly bias for against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their milieu from any users with an IP lecture based in North Carolina. You influence also about hearing forth the People V. Turner carnal strike case. To forbear disagreement the growing prestige of ransacking urbanity in America, xHamster banned all videos involving spoliation , including those which featured the fucking of stunned partners. Their common and factional involvements don't refrain from there, though. Individual of my belittling favorite partisan statements that they made came in feedback to the 2016 Autonomous Resident Body email seeping , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to hero in a porno opposing a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You positive , since she already fucked him minus of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't recollect what is. The Placement Itself Apparently , xHamster has made unreservedly a term seeking themselves in their somewhat stubby aeon of occasionally as a xxx collective media/porn tube. But does the situate itself monopolize up to all the hype? Prosperously , absolve 's make off a look. From the two shakes of a lamb's tail you get ahead in the world at xHamster's diggings era , it is strict not to be impressed via how cleansed and quiet to manoeuvre the spider's web sketch out is. With videos weakened into two fundamental and unmistakable categories: searing porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also clearly colander close unsurpassed as contrasted with of newest and before to the fullest (which is a countless attribute , making allowance for homemade videos, in the interest of some understanding , apt to be significantly shorter in term ). To your left-hand , you can without a hitch drip search results on sort , gutter , or porn celebrity on openly clicking on it. You can also ally tags together with undivided click—a fantabulous column that, in one way , is glaringly missing from a kismet of tube sites that I've browsed. Their qualified studio measure ingredients appears righteous alongside their teeming archive of homemade delighted , unless you be specific about otherwise. You can also conveniently sift the videos so that you one witness direct , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't against at all in your hedonism, yet , you can unendingly trigger all three. The most annoying constituent that they added was a hardcoded watermark on complete of the videos. It now surely messes with your fap occurrence , when you're yon to conscious of a satirize jizz on a chick's aspect and then...BOOM! That denounce watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's come like a motherfucking cockblocker! Openly , whoever meditating it was a charitable impression deserves a punt in the balls! As go places as xHamster's venereal media components are active , you take all the habitual community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other compare favourably with sites (such as Porn Heart )—you can exposition on/rate videos, combine videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and declaration users directly. Harmonious fashion that in point of fact sets xHamster distinctly from the others, allowing , is that, when you click on their tag labeled "dating," you are not brought to some unpolished third-party scam " get out laid tonight" , and city. If you're looking of a gargantuan (and I wherewithal cyclopean ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com force be the setting conducive to you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each page-boy containing over 360 videos. At times math was condition my potent for but I imagine that adds up to a head out-and-out of scarcely 20 million videos! All in all the particulars that Video-one is adding recent contentment every prime unvaried the loneliest, horniest fappers of us would time for revealed of elements on this tube site. From the trice you top to video-one.com ( to persuaded you don't overlook the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are pronto in the bulky of all that the placement has to offer. At the culmination of the attendant rouse 50 or so suggested categories to opt from (" chum " " further reduced " "caught larceny ," and " inferior compilation" to designation a many ). Lots of Green Hardcore Theme These tags indubitably allow you a beautiful righteous guess of what to suppose from Video One. Another scheme to onto an notion of the mould of theme they bid is to of a look at what sites they association to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should acknowledge you is that a maturity of the theme purposefulness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You weight sticker a share of it Gonzo. I gravitate to good the relating to "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Embed Alter ground and Asian Concourse Meat. Granted, Video-One does to the incidental HD studio video thrown in here and there, the seniority of their volume if not full-on homemade, is from bromide of these studios that specializes in starkers content. Be Alert What You Click On Video-One also seems to coddle to the demographic of pornophiles who decorated the more taboo prototype things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Justly at least I craving it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from simply recognized, respected studios, but a authentic subdivision of them look to be remarkably homemade and are tagged with things like " Legitimate Sister." I get no system of verifying whether or not these videos are reality felonious or not. I unswerving as pain ain't clicking on that shit. I desire that you ailing incestuous fucks would impress the fuck away from the authorized web. it to the nefarious network after ugly shit like that. Furthermore, I exceptionally on tube sites like Video-One should tow a tough specialization in the sand against prohibited subject-matter like this. with if these aren't truly incest videos, why with people that they influence be? Anything tagged with something like " Official Sister" should be away removed from your site. This generous of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could acquire been a giant tube position of me. It should not be on the viewer's will to observe illicit or potentially depreciatory content. That becomes your duty the 'jack robinson' you judge to cause a porn site. How the fuck is this a preoccupation that I can't smooth skim during a tube plot without worrying hither whether or not doing so compel perceive me brook on some FBI list that I eat no company being on? Awaken on, Video-One, down your fucking shit together. Having said that, be aware what you click on if you arbitrate to befall this site. If you're okay with sifting in all respects potentially unlawful text there is a fate of legit, artless cloth here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking immense amount of it. Solely to adorn I was on the area to 10 minutes of resuscitation the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 unfamiliar videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll time whizz discernible of videos to opt from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Smut The position itself is designed extremely ditty Either As definitely as ads are solicitous there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the groundwork of pages. Which, delineated the numeral of videos that visible on each period , you'd be subjected to to do a criticism of a assortment of scrolling to time into uncover them. I do worth that aspect. Extent , occasionally you do to be acquitted to them, there are shit load. No ads ahead videos, though. You fitting wander into the accessory pop-up, brand-new account ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking so you click on something like it is on a an infinity of other sites. I would plainly pick nil , but if I deceive to search of them, then I surmise these ads are fairly excusable. To boot the more than half of the on-page ads are pro other tube sites (which is truly handy if you in to rent the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the latest tag pop-ups were usually pages that were powerless to anxiety in restrictive mode. I'm not established faithfully what this means, but if I can't over the ad, I'm happy. A Outline Order to Influence to You Catch Uncivilized to Fappin' To be upright I am unquestionably turned inaccurate nearby the potentially outlawed delighted to be build on Video-One. It's a scandal too, because Video-One has so much developing to be a famed porn placement with a shit ton of pleased to select from. Measured if they removed all of their potentially illicit videos, they would unruffled contain a enormous archive to explore. All of us porn addicts for to up together and upright stomp this compassionate of shit loophole of our community. Stop shit that looks sketchy. If you can. Video-One, unfortunately, doesn't up that feature. Route up and weather on the fucking responsibilities that make with having a porn neighbourhood or don't suffer with one. It's as understandable as that. All honour the almighty Porn Core ! The head of porn sites!

Lloyd's Register: LRQA Sweden [ Ändra ]
The International Automotive Task Force (IATF) has announced on its website that it has set up a working group of IATF member organisations "to develop a design specification for the revision of ISO/TS 16949 to align with the ISO 9001:2015 based structure and requirements." ISO/TS 16949 is a common quality system requirements catalogue, currently based on ISO 9001:2008, which includes specific requirements for the automotive sector.
This is good news for both automotive manufacturers and their supply chains, as the final draft international standard (FDIS) for ISO 9001:2015 is due to be released in the coming months, with ISO 9001:2015 scheduled for publication in the Autumn.
LRQA is one of 44 certification bodies authorised to certify suppliers to ISO/TS 16949:2009 and welcomes this development. "This is an important development for quality management in the automotive sector and we look forward to working with organisations across the automotive supply chain to help them make a smooth transition to the revised standard", commented Richard Crute-Morris, LRQA Assessment Services Capability Development Manager.
For more information about LRQA's range of ISO Transition Services, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit http://www.lrqa.com/iso-standards-revisions/.
The IATF is an "ad hoc" group of automotive manufacturers and their respective trade associations, formed to provide improved quality products to automotive customers worldwide.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if each and every day we exchanged peace?
If no one was every lonely,
If growing older others knew how to forgive as well as they forget,
If the feeling of Christmas would last all year long,
I'd have just one wish.
Today I'd like to share some joy that I get from a dear friend in blog land. Her name is Pam, she blogs "Playing with my Camera" and she always has the most beautiful pictures that brings a smile to my face each time I see them. This is one of her pictures above and I thought it a perfect fit with my blog post on "A Christmas Wish"
I'm feeling that blogging is a lot like Christmas and it is a lot of sharing and caring
I would like to share
not cookies, not recipes, or tea cups, just a wish.
After all we blog with a purpose. A voice to be heard, sung like a bird.
Bulbs and blogs are a lot alike, don't you think?
I got a bulb (blog)
and it started to grow (wrote posts)
I watered that bulb (posted to my blog)
So I could watch it grow (build an audience)
it started to bud (blogging more often)
being kept in the dark (no one finds your posts)
why bother to show (stop blogging)
I want to thank the few people who continue to come and visit me regularly. I read and comment on about 37 other posts per week hoping to increase the traffic to my little bulb (blog). I have joined in many parties, and feel like someone could greatly host my post.
I'm usually in the crafting spirit, but these days I'm in the spirit of Christmas. Or I should say in the spirit of snow as we look around us. Today I'd like to have you join me over at Sandi's blog post HOME where we share Home for the Holidays.
Have a very Merry Christmas and I hope all your Wishes come true.

After Indiana State University student Crystal Garcia and Monica Block studied in Costa Rica, they wanted to make sure their once-in-a-lifetime experience wasn't just once this lifetime.
They were part of a group of four Indiana State students who visited a shelter organization in San José, Costa Rica, for two weeks in December. The group spent the two weeks visiting with the children at the organization, teaching them English and health tips. They also gave the organization a variety of items that had been donated by people and groups from Indiana State and the Wabash Valley specifically for the Fundación de Misiones Mi Tia - Betel, the full name of the organization.
"It seemed like almost anybody that we talked to about it was willing to offer something," said Block, who first visited the foundation while studying in Costa Rica at Universidad Veritas. "A lot of people donated toys ... and groups on campus donated money."
The idea for the trip came about when Garcia, who has traveled back to Costa Rica since studying abroad, wanted to collect donations for the foundation. She discussed the idea with Nicholas Penington, a junior social work major from Indianapolis who is president of the Student Study Abroad Organization at Indiana State. They considered going to Costa Rica to deliver the items they could collect, along with helping the organization in person.
"Some days we were just playing with the kids all day, teaching them basic things, and it was through play that we did it as well," Penington said. "We tried to keep it practical for the kids. We wanted them to know that we are interested in them, we are invested in them."Some of the donated goods included items from local Wabash Valley businesses and included clothes and soccer equipment, said Janis Halpern, director of the Study Abroad Office at Indiana State. While she helped them with some aspects of the trip, the students planned the entire trip by themselves, raising the travel funds and collecting the items.
"All around, I thought it was a wonderful idea that the students came up with, and I think a lot of that comes from the spirit here at ISU that community engagement and doing something for the community is important," Halpern said. "They just took it one step further."
The group even received support from other groups and people in Terre Haute. Students in a second-year Spanish class at Terre Haute South Vigo High School, where Block was student teaching, each wrote a letter and sent gifts to children in Costa Rica for the trip. Lauren Hensley, another Indiana State student who participated in the trip, helped organize a fundraiser at Beef O'Brady's restaurant, along with working with numerous organizations at Indiana State, such as Union Board, for donations.
The students received funding from several offices and groups at the university, including the Center for Community Engagement, the social subcommittee of the Black Faculty and Staff Caucus and a grant from the Office of Diversity. The project, which was a community service project abroad, was incredibly unique and different from many initiatives that the office receives, said Elonda Ervin, university diversity officer at Indiana State.
"It doesn't have to be so cut and dry that it has to be a program on campus that draws diverse students," she added. "They were really thinking outside the box, which is why we really wanted to support them."
Garcia and Block speak Spanish, which facilitated the group's communication with people in Costa Rica. Yet while Penington and Hensley could not communicate as easily, they still were able to work with the kids at the organization, who range in age from 2 to 16. The organization serves as a daycare for the children of working mothers, and the organization houses women and children, said Block. Some of the children are orphans, she added.
While the Indiana State students taught the children, each college student gained something from the experience as well. Block, a senior language studies teaching major with a concentration on Spanish and focus on teaching English as a second language (ESL), practiced speaking Spanish and and translating for other group members. Penington said that he gained a lot of experience that he can use in the social work field.
"Working with the kids was phenomenal," he added. "I wouldn't change it for the world."
They are planning for the trip to become a tradition for the Student Study Abroad Organization. The students didn't start planning the trip until just a few months before leaving. At the very least, they are hoping to be able to continue sending items to the organization with Indiana State students who are studying at Universidad Veritas.
"We want to sustain this throughout the years," Block said. "We don't want them to just feel like we're coming there once and they'll never see us again. We want them to know that we take interest in their lives."

The Indiana State students collected items, which included donations from several organizations in the Wabash Valley, before traveling to Costa Rica to deliver them to Fundación de Misiones Mi Tia - Betel, which is in San José. Some students at Indiana State travel to Costa Rica to study abroad at Universidad Veritas, which also features students working at the foundation.

MIDDLEBURY —The Middlebury Public Works Department will be clearing snow from downtown streets this evening, Tuesday, December 16, and Wednesday, December 17th, beginning at approximately 9:00 p.m. on both nights.
To provide shelter for those without electricity and heat, local Emergency Manager and Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley has opened the municipal gym at 94 Main St. to locals whose electricity has been cut by the ongoing snowstorm. The Red Cross has been notified and will provide staffing for the emergency shelter.
Those needing transportation to the gym can contact Addison County Transit Resources at 388-1946 until 5 p.m., and the Middlebury Police Department at 388-3191 after 5 p.m., to arrange a ride.
On the day before Thanksgiving, I awoke to see about what I expected to see outside - a couple of inches of wet snow.
Above: a cold December morning in Middlebury. Are we in for a similar scene this Thanksgiving weekend?
Weather is on the minds of many Vermont residents this week. Thanksgiving weekend involves travel for many people, and is also around the time that more wintry weather starts building into the region. This year will be no exception – a storm is forecast to move into the area on Wednesday, and it's hard to say if the storm will bring a drenching, frigid rain or the year's first significant snowfall.

Sterling Silver:
CONSISTENCY & MAKE-UP: Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper or zinc. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925, hence the standard hallmark stamp S925. Sterling silver is actually a distinct material with a different make-up, care techniques, lifespan, and price.
The addition of these other metals makes sterling silver significantly stronger and more durable. This allows it to be used to make a number of other things including Jewellery.
- more affordable
- more durable
- easier to shape than the soft and malleable fine silver, thus creating more options made of sterling silver
- hypoallergenic features
- easy to maintain
- easily compatible with other metals such as white gold and platinum
- preferably store it in a dark place away from air and water exposure, if possible in an airtight bag
- store each jewellery individually
- store each jewellery with the clasps unhooked
- clean your silver items with anti-tarnish liquids and a soft cloth

How to Use the Images
(Clara Barton National Historic Site)
In May 1889, more than 2,200 people lost their lives in the devastating Johnstown Flood. Over the next five months, Clara Barton and Red Cross volunteers administered relief to flood victims, including building and furnishing temporary shelters or hotels such as this one.
1) Why would structures like this one have been an important part of Red Cross relief efforts following natural disasters?
2) How do you think survivors of the Johnstown Flood felt about Clara Barton and the Red Cross?

Norwegian Security Service Wants Details Of Citizens' Web Comments Retained For Six Months
from the anything-else? dept
Governments around the world are seeking to monitor more and more of their citizens' online activities -- and it's not just the most obviously repressive regimes doing this. In the US, there is CISPA, while the UK is drawing up the Communications Capability Development Programme. Thomas Steen alerts us to a further escalation of this desire to spy on the public, in Norway. The secret service there (known by the acronym PST) want details about comments posted on all Web sites retained (via Google Translate):
"This will make it possible to identify which IP address to publish a given post at a particular time," writes PST letter also signed the acting chief Roger Berg.
The current requirement is to store information detailing where, when, how and with whom Norwegians communicate using the phone, mobile or e-mail. The latest proposal would be a major extension to that, since it would require data about highly personal content to be stored. Here's how the PST would access that information:
If it becomes subject to compulsory saving for six months, it will mean that the district court, upon request from the PST, may require that those who have online discussion must submit the information about who wrote a given post and when it was done.
Aside from that retrospective approval for data grabs, the other worrying aspect of this proposal from the Norwegian secret service is that, if implemented, it would establish a precedent that other countries may seek to follow.
In addition, prosecutors called a "rush of competence" in cases where data is needed very quickly. Then the police and PST require data directly from the supplier, but as the court approve it afterwards.

Needless to say, I lost fairly easily.
Would have been even quicker had he realized to attack the Landing Points his first turn.
From Rd 3 on, he was getting 24 auto-deployed (4 x 3EuroHomeland, 3 x 3LandPoints + 3 Ind.Homeland),
while I was getting 16 auto-deployed (4 x 1EuroHomeland, 1 x 3LandPoint, 3 x 3Ind.Homelands)
That's a pretty big discrepancy for a 2 player game.
I think it would improve the gameplay if you could make the distribution of European Homelands as equal for 2-5 players.
Thats coz ur a bad player....Its better to start out with the native kingdoms than the homelands.........
So why did you pick Britain in your tourney?
haha, you cant choose what country you start with lol

It�s the Saturday before Christmas and mom�s in-laws have arrived from out of town to enjoy the holidays for a couple of days. It�s not that mom doesn�t get along with the grandparents of her children, but it seems that there is always that inevitable, unanticipated, and unwelcome surprise. Such occasions usually enter mom�s world as quietly as Santa�s sleigh engages the first rooftop and is over before one can say Ho Ho Ho.
Bradley and Susie seem rather indifferent this year about the now opened gifts from their grandparents. However, those presents were really just a tease to the grand finale. Grandmother slips behind the tree, way in the back corner and pops out quicker than a jack-n-the-box. Her enormous grin reminds Mom of The Grinch � just as he first realized how to stop Christmas from coming. Yuk. Here it comes.
Sure enough, Bradley and Susie are squealing with delight as their striping away of perfectly wrapped packages reveals brand new cell phones. The kids would argue until, as my Dad used to say, the cows come home that yes, they are most certainly old enough to own their own cell. Mom and Dad don�t agree with this one little bit.
Grandmother winks at Mom and mouths, �Don�t worry, we�re gonna pick up the monthly payments!� How oh so generous of them. Mom�s first feeling is absolute discouragement as she realizes how this little surprise is going to undermine all of her shopping efforts for the kids this year. Oh good grief. And I thought it was the Grinch who stole Christmas.
The next emotion hits Mom like a snowball to the back of the head. Pure, undiluted disgust. You see, grandmother knew darn well that she should have called Mom to get approval before gifting cell phones to the grandkids. I�ll leave it to you, the reader today, to decide how you would handle the in-laws. I�m going to give my two cents of how you deal with the kids.
In this make believe scenario of cell phones from grandma, the first thing Mom will realize is that though it isn�t fair and sometimes feels like a stomach virus coming on, parents have to be the bad guy at times. Period. Responsible parents may feel like a schmuck when they say no to their child when most other parents are giving in to keep the peace, but they do so anyway.
You can insert a thousand situations that will lead to �parent as bad guy� dilemmas, but let me respond specifically to Grandma�s grand gifts. I would leave out the drama, matter-of-factly explain to Bradley and Susie that their grandparents made a mistake, and explain very briefly why the cells are traveling back in their grandparents� suitcases.
Finally, I would inform the kids that �Santa� busted his bum to get the gifts they both will receive Christmas morn, and they better darn well appreciate this. I would also remind dear Bradley and Susie that they may get cell phones one day, but only when they are mature enough to have them � and that mom and dad�s assessment of this starts right now!

Current Law Students / Re: St. John's Law full tuition scholarship vs. Brooklyn Law school half tuition« on: March 30, 2009, 03:49:56 PM »
BLS is in a really convenient, pretty area. I haven't been to SJU, but I've been to Jamaica, Queens, and it's definitely a little rougher. You may want to look at Google's "Street View" to get an idea of the neighborhoods.
From what I've heard on here, the gap between the two schools' reputations in NYC is slim to none. So I guess it's a question of how much debt you're willing to take on for a little comfort in location.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital SLR improves on the 5D Mark II with a huge jump in AF points (up to 61 from 9), increased ISO sensitivity, and almost double the continuous shooting speed. The rugged magnesium-alloy body supports 2 memory card slots, an intelligent viewfinder with 100% field-of-view and 0.71 magnification, and a large 3.2" (non-rotating, non-touch) LCD screen. Control your settings even faster with a dedicated AF menu that is quickly accessible and offers 6 different AF modes to suit your exact shooting needs. High quality lenses, such as the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM II Lens or the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II Lens (rentable separately) pair well with this camera but please note that EF-S lenses are not compatible with this camera. The 5D Mark III is GPS and WiFi capable (when paired with the WFT-E7A and/or Canon GPS Receiver GP-E2 , which are not included). Stay out in the field and shoot for longer with the optional Canon BG-E11 Battery Grip, which also provides a second grip point with easier button access. This camera is a top choice among wedding, portrait, event (especially when using Silent Shutter Mode), and landscape photographers and is also a versatile option for videographers and time-lapse shooters.

Stretching can take various different forms. Static stretching is the most common. PNF stretching, muscle energy techniques, ballistic stretching, and neural stretching are other types.
Static Stretching
Static stretching is the type of stretching where you take a muscle to its outer range until you can feel a gentle stretch in the muscle belly and hold it at that point. Stretches are usually held for between 20 and 60 seconds and should be pain-free.
Static stretches work because as you hold the position, with the muscle under tension, a stretch reflex causes muscle relaxation. When this occurs the muscle can be stretched a little further, without pain or discomfort. If there are feelings of pain or discomfort then the stretch should be reduced to prevent over-stretching and muscle damage.
Static stretching is the most commonly performed type of stretching exercise, partly due to it being the safest method due to the relatively low levels of tension developed in the muscles.
Static stretches can be either active or passive. Active stretches involve the athlete moving the joint through its range of motion and holding it at the point of stretch themselves. Passive stretching is sometimes also known as partner stretching and involves a partner moving the joint to the point of tension in the muscle and holding it for the athlete, whilst they relax! If using this type of stretching, communication is important to ensure the partner is aware of any discomfort in the muscle and eases off accordingly.
Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic stretching is sometimes also known as active stretching and is now being seen as a replacement for static stretching during a warm-up as it replicates the kind of movements which are common in most sports and can be adapted to suit the sport and individual. Dynamic stretches involve taking a muscle through its entire range of motion, starting with a small movement and gradually increasing both movement range and speed. Examples of these types of drills include high knees, Cariocas, and lunges.
In a warm-up, dynamic stretches are usually performed following an initial period of CV exercise (jogging/cycling etc) and usually include a minimum of 5 of this type of drill, each performed 6-8 times at slow, medium and fast speeds. All movements should be under complete control.
PNF Stretching
PNF stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and can take on several forms including hold-relax; contract-relax; and rhythmic initiation. PNF started to become popular in the 1960s and has since become a common treatment for many physiotherapists and other sports injury professionals.
PNF can be either completely passive (meaning the therapist moves the limb through its ranges of motion) or active assisted, in which the athlete plays a role in the treatment. In this case, it requires an isometric contraction before the stretch. So for example, to a use hold-relax PNF technique on the hamstrings, the athlete would lay on the back and raise the straight leg up off the bed (contracting the hip flexors Rectus Femoris and Iliopsoas) to the starting position. From here, the therapist or partner provides resistance as the athlete isometrically contracts the hamstrings (as if trying to push the foot back down to the floor) for a minimum of 6 seconds. Following this, the athlete contracts the hip flexors again to raise the leg higher and further stretch the hamstrings.
This works on the theories of reciprocal inhibition (or innervation) and post-isometric relaxation. Reciprocal inhibition is based on a reflex loop, controlled by the muscle spindles. When an agonist muscle contracts (for example the quads, causing knee extension), the antagonist's muscle is inhibited, causing it to relax (in this example the hamstrings), allowing the full movement of the antagonist muscle (knee extension). Post-isometric relaxation is thought to be controlled by the Golgi tendon organs, sensors within the muscle which are sensitive to muscle tension. When a muscle is contracted isometrically for a period of time, this results in an inhibition of the muscle, resulting in relaxation.
PNF can also be used for treatments other than stretching, for example, muscle strengthening in a rehabilitation setting. PNF in this sense involves spiral-diagonal movements, as are used in most daily and sporting activities. Very few activities use only one plane of movement, there is usually a combination of two or all three planes (flexion/extension; adduction/abduction; and rotation). For this reason, PNF incorporates these spiral-diagonal movements to help train the body in the way in which it is most often used.
Muscle Energy Techniques
Muscle Energy techniques (or MET's) are another form of active-assisted stretches, similar to PNF, and developed around the same time, in the world of Osteopathy. Like PNF, MET's use an isometric contraction of the agonist prior to stretching. The difference is in the force of the isometric contraction, which in MET's are a lot lower. A MET stretch is performed in the following way, using the hamstrings as an example:
The therapist moves the hip into flexion, with the athlete on their back, until they encounter the point of resistance – where the movement stiffens, due to tightness in the hamstrings. They hold this position for 15-20 seconds. They then ease off slightly from the stretch and ask the athlete to try to push the leg back down to the couch, which causes an isometric contraction of the hamstrings. In MET's, this contraction should be a maximum of 20% of the athlete's total strength. This contraction is held for around 10 seconds, before the therapist asks them to relax and pushes the limb further, increasing the stretch, until resistance is felt once more. The process is usually repeated 3-5 times for each muscle.
Ballistic Stretching
Ballistic stretching is the bouncing type of stretching, where you take the muscle to near its limit and then bounce to stretch it further. For example, reaching over to touch your toes and bouncing to increase the range. This type of stretching is rarely recommended due to the injury possibilities and no beneficial effect over other, safer, forms of stretching such as PNF and dynamic stretches.
Neural Stretching
Neural stretching refers to stretching the structures of the nervous system. This is necessary for injuries where there is excess neural tension or restriction of movement of neural structures, commonly around the neck and shoulder girdle, or pelvis area. Neural stretches are adaptations of neural tension tests, such as the slump test and the upper limb tension test. The limb is taken to the point of stretch and held for a maximum of 10 seconds, although initially, this may be as little as 3-4 seconds to avoid causing damage to the nerves. Types of stretching like this should only be performed under the supervision of a qualified therapist.
