I have been looking for cosmetics that are quick and easy to use since I barely have time to apply make up these days. This Hourglass Illume product caught my eye as it does the bronzing and blushing all in one product! I also like the sound of their formulations.
I'm impressed by the Hourglass formulation – this product is; Oil free, paraben free, wax free, fragrance free, sulfate free, phthalate free, synthetic dye free. Makes you wonder what else is left in there, right!?
The packaging looks expensive, however it's quite light weight and plasticy – I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand, with it being light, it'll be easier to carry around but when a product costs £30, I feel that it should be quite sturdy and heavyweight.
A nice quirk though is the mirror which is long and can be spun around! Quite a cute touch.
There are equal portions (so to speak) of bronzer and blush. Both of the colours are nice and I found they suited my medium skin tone (can't really say how it will go for pale or dark skinned girls) even though I thought it would be too light to begin with.
The bronze looks orange in the pan – I do think there is an orange to it but it's not horrible, it quite a soft warm bronze. The blush is a neutral pinky peach blush which is just a really nice colour. Both products don't have any glitter or sparkle.
I really really really liked the formula! Which surprised me since it apparently leaves out so many ingredients other products have!
The texture is very wet to start with, it feels oily (which it can't be as it's oil free) but it has a lot of slip. I find products with lots of slip can be sheer but these have really good pigmentation (as you can see from my swatches) so only a small amount is needed.
They apply nicely, blend nicely and look quite flattering on!
On my cheek using both colours, bronze below the blush:
I bought this product for £40 from Zuneta – which is pricey! But I really do like it, I like the fact it is free of additives and that is applies and wears so nicely. I'd definitely consider trying more things from their range.

RAND48(3) BSD Programmer's Manual RAND48(3)
drand48, erand48, lrand48, nrand48, mrand48, jrand48, srand48, seed48, lcong48 - pseudo-random number generators and initialization routines
#include <stdlib.h> double drand48(void); double erand48(unsigned short xseed[3]); long lrand48(void); long nrand48(unsigned short xseed[3]); long mrand48(void); long jrand48(unsigned short xseed[3]); void srand48(long seed); unsigned short * seed48(unsigned short xseed[3]); void lcong48(unsigned short p[7]);
The rand48() family of functions generates pseudo-random numbers using a linear congruential algorithm working on integers 48 bits in size. The particular formula employed is r(n+1) = (a * r(n) + c) mod m where the default values are for the multiplicand a = 0xfdeece66d = 25214903917 and the addend c = 0xb = 11. The modulus is always fixed at m = 2 ** 48. r(n) is called the seed of the random number generator. For all the six generator routines described next, the first computation- al step is to perform a single iteration of the algorithm. drand48() and erand48() return values of type double. The full 48 bits of r(n+1) are loaded into the mantissa of the returned value, with the ex- ponent set such that the values produced lie in the interval [0.0, 1.0]. lrand48() and nrand48() return values of type long in the range [0, 2**31-1]. The high-order (31) bits of r(n+1) are loaded into the lower bits of the returned value, with the topmost (sign) bit set to zero. mrand48() and jrand48() return values of type long in the range [-2**31, 2**31-1]. The high-order (32) bits of r(n+1) are loaded into the returned value. drand48(), lrand48(), and mrand48() use an internal buffer to store r(n). For these functions the initial value of r(0) = 0x1234abcd330e = 20017429951246. On the other hand, erand48(), nrand48(), and jrand48() use a user- supplied buffer to store the seed r(n), which consists of an array of 3 shorts, where the zeroth member holds the least significant bits. All functions share the same multiplicand and addend. srand48() is used to initialize the internal buffer r(n) of drand48(), lrand48(), and mrand48() such that the 32 bits of the seed value are copied into the upper 32 bits of r(n), with the lower 16 bits of r(n) ar- bitrarily being set to 0x330e. Additionally, the constant multiplicand and addend of the algorithm are reset to the default values given above. seed48() also initializes the internal buffer r(n) of drand48(), lrand48(), and mrand48(), but here all 48 bits of the seed can be speci- fied in an array of 3 shorts, where the zeroth member specifies the lowest bits. Again, the constant multiplicand and addend of the algorithm are reset to the default values given above. seed48() returns a pointer to an array of 3 shorts which contains the old seed. This array is stati- cally allocated, so its contents are lost after each new call to seed48(). Finally, lcong48() allows full control over the multiplicand and addend used in drand48(), erand48(), lrand48(), nrand48(), mrand48(), and jrand48(), and the seed used in drand48(), lrand48(), and mrand48(). An array of 7 shorts is passed as parameter; the first three shorts are used to initialize the seed; the second three are used to initialize the mul- tiplicand; and the last short is used to initialize the addend. It is thus not possible to use values greater than 0xffff as the addend. Note that all three methods of seeding the random number generator always also set the multiplicand and addend for any of the six generator calls. For a more powerful random number generator, see random(3).

No, it does not go at in 'most youth work'. I know you Catholic glory hole types think ass raping children is normal - but it is not.
Occasionally coworkers or even a manager somewhere has not wanted to deal with the awkwardness of confronting a pedophile - but Penn Fucking State didn't set up a retreat for hundreds upon hundreds of pedophiles, running it for over 60 years, returning them to service with youth after they said they were 'wary wary sawwy' to the invisible man in the sky! Give your head a shake.
Oh well, have a nice time, I hope your new pope works out for you. Good luck with all that.
Never before have I encountered an apologist who defends sheltering pedophiles. I hope you don't teach ethics!
There is no "Institution of American higher education", but there definitely is a Penn State and it was punished, at least, by the NCAA which found problems with the culture of the athletic department itself, as outlined in the Freeh report. A "few senior members" can have a wide and deep effect on an institution's culture that infects many within the organization.
I would agree with that. Leadership matters a great deal in human social structures. That's why I think this leadership choice is an interesting one. In many ways, he was the better choice 8 years ago as well, to my mind.
In many ways, he was the better choice
Because this one said that gays adopting children is a discrimination against children? Or because the last one shielded child rapists?
Either way, brilliant people you got there to lead you.
Maybe you should read what he is saying:
"That is sadly enough a common occurrence in most youth work..."
This is the standard line Catholics have been taking for a while - that this is a secular problem that occurs everywhere. John the Rat even went so far as to suggest that western culture no longer found child pornography objectionable and then suggested that the church was only taking 'our' lead.
If he wants to suggest that all schools, summer camps, and youth programs are riddled with buggery then he either needs to back that up with some empirical evidence or expect to be called sick and twisted for thinking that ass raping children is normal.
Define normal, please.
Something that happens in most instances is considered the norm - or normal. He seems to think sexual abuse and systematic cover-ups are the norm. My language may be inciting, but the point remains the same. He euphemises and I dysphemise for balance.
Apples and oranges. You have not even addressed where these children are abused. Are you insinuating all these cases of abuse happen in institutions that have garnered a position of trust with the families - like schools, youth groups, sports teams, etc?
It's been my experience that most sexual molestations are perpetrated by someone who has gained the trust of the family, either by being a member of the family or inserting themselves into the family relationship (counselors, clergy, medical professionals).
It seems to me that you are the one removing the context of what he said. Please actually pay attention to what is said before you tell other people to do so.

I know professors of English. I like professors of English, and can respect their work. But then some professors of English publish total rubbish like this, and it's facepalm time.
Jesus' resurrection: What really happened?
This scholar's interpretation navigates between the perils of realism and fundamentalism
Read the whole thing, if you can stomach it. There's no navigation at all; there's nothing but totally credulous acceptance of much embellished legend, treated as if it were fact. Take the opening story, for example:
The burial of Jesus took place in haste, in keeping with Jewish law, as commanded in Deuteronomy 21:22-23: "And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hange him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day." One can only imagine the eagerness of those who loved Jesus to remove his body from the cross, a position of extreme exposure and embarrassment, and to lay it gently in a crypt, safe from mocking Roman eyes. At last, the torture was over.
Having acquired permission to take charge of the body, Joseph of Arimathea wrapped it carefully in fine linens and, with the help of Nicodemus, put it in a crypt hewn from rock not far from the site of the execution on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Nicodemus had brought a mixture of embalming spices: aloes and myrrh.
"One can only imagine…" Yes, that is the one true phrase in the whole mess. It's all built up out of imagination. We have no contemporary accounts of the death of this person, Jesus; we don't even have reliable sources for the existence of the person at all. Yet here this Parini fellow is reciting speculative BS about how people were feeling during events that may not have happened at all.
Maybe, to Parini, navigating between realism and fundamentalism means avoiding both and dwelling on kitschy rose-colored portrayals of fantasy events?
Huge questions confront anyone thinking about Jesus. Did he really rise from the dead? Was there an actual Resurrection? If so, what would that look like? A large number of Christians throughout history have imagined a resuscitation, refusing to countenance the slightest hint that the Resurrection should be regarded as something beyond human understanding. I myself would argue this: life and death are mysterious, at best, and the membrane between the living and the dead is a porous one, perilously thin. Jesus rose from the dead, the scriptures say. I see no reason to doubt this. And yet a literalistic belief in the Resurrection cannot be, as many fundamentalist churches insist, the only important part of the "good news" of Christianity. The message of God's love in operation in the world trumps everything and must be regarded as the necessary extension of the idea of rebirth, the social basis for true spiritual enlightenment. Nowhere more so than here does it matter that we find a proper balance between the literal and the figurative, giving full weight to the concrete meaning while relishing the mythic contours of the story.
He has no reason to doubt a magical account of a god-man rising from the dead 2,000 years ago? Really? No reason at all? Does he have a brain in his head? Perhaps I have no reason to believe that.
I can appreciate the difference between literal and figurative, like the difference between science and art, but sometimes there is no concrete meaning to balance, and the best answer is rejection of the nonsense, rather than wallowing in it.
We're going to be seeing a lot of this pious bullshit in this month before Christmas, aren't we?

I went to college and earned three degrees -- an undergraduate degree, a master's degree, and a law degree. That is no big deal, but it did give me many opportunities to read books, lots of books -- tons of books.
When you read a book, do you hear the words? Do you verbalize the words as you read them? Are you doing that right now? Are you hearing these words? Dog, cat, chicken, goat.
It is hard not to verbalize words as you read them. But I found that such verbalization limits the speed at which you can read -- you can only read as fast as you can verbalize. In graduate school, I found that if I tried, I could read without verbalizing. It is a little strange at first and you might think that you would not be able to remember anything. But actually, it is not that hard. You just turn off the "inner voice." You read the worlds and process them without verbalizing them.
Recently I had a strange experience. I was writing a letter and noticed that I was not verbalizing as I was writing. I was writing without saying the words in my mind. They were just appearing on the screen as I typed them.
I know that this happens when people type. A person can type a page without really reading it.
But I was drafting the letter, not merely typing it. I was drafting and typing without verbalization. It made it much easier and faster.
I cannot do this all the time. And for certain things I read, I prefer to verbalize and visualize.
But at times, I can read and write without verbalizing... sometimes.
You probably can too.
Here is the point (I really had a point in writing all this). In Karate, my mind feels the same as when I read and write without verbalizing. It is a funny thing. I cannot describe exactly how it feels. It would be easy to say that it feels "clear" but that is not quite correct. There is content, but no words or symbols. The information simply is processed, whether it be words or movement.
For me, my mental training in school and work, and my physical training in Karate, go hand in hand. They are not separate. If I improve in Karate, I improve in other aspects of my life. If I improve in other aspects of my life, I improve in Karate.
As you know, I am 50. At 50, I am training harder now than ever. I do not only mean physically -- I mean in terms of being a well rounded person. There is no end to training as long as we keep trying.
But despite my training, my shingles, which have gotten much better, still itch!

Mental Clarity -- Not Verbalizing

Read the original story in The Oregonian here.
Coffee Creek women's prison inmate Michelle Long perches on a crate along a row of kale in the robust garden and instructs Portland State University seniors Sharon Bonn and Rachel Lee on how to harvest the leafy vegetable.
"Take the outer leaves, and leave the inner, younger leaves," says Long, 46, of Eugene.
The trio snips for a few minutes before Lee stops.
"What are these?" Lee asks, showing Long a wilted green clipping.
"Those are aphids," Long says, frowning.
Team efforts like this last week by inmates and PSU faculty and students, along with nearly $200,000 in recent grants, have more than doubled the size of the garden growing on the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility's 108 acres in Wilsonville.
PSU professor Debbie Rutt and Sherrie Barger, a leadership coach at Education Northwest, worked as volunteers in 2009 to revive the prison garden program, which has gradually grown from a scrubby 10,000-square-foot plot to 23,000 square feet of flourishing plant life.
"It enhances the living conditions for the inmates because instead of just seeing dead grass they actually get to see things growing," said Robert Powell, Coffee Creek minimum security facility manager.
In spring 2010, PSU students got involved. Rutt and Barger launched the Women's Prison Garden capstone project, one of the downtown Portland university's 240 capstones, which are interdisciplinary, community-based learning classes. This capstone aims to educate students about the criminal justice system and social issues though academic work and interactions with prisoners, which includes gardening.
So far, 170 PSU students have labored with inmates in the prison garden. Some 40 inmates graduated from the annual organic gardening course this summer, which former PSU students led. Students develop curriculum for the summer course.
Students help engage the community and create and maintain partnerships with groups such as Oregon Food Bank, which shares curriculum from its educational programs.
Tending the tender greens affords students such as PSU senior Zarie Orest with hands-on skills such as how to fertilize plants with compost and use red wiggler worms to enrich soil.
Orest said the program provides inmates with educational opportunities that are not available in many other women's prisons.
"I want more people to know about it," Orest says. "It's changing women."
Long – incarcerated on identity theft, theft and perjury charges – is working on a proposal with three students for accessible, raised beds in the garden for women with physical disabilities. The project was her idea. The inmate says upon her release in six months, she plans to study grant writing.
Julieta Duvall, 43, of Salem, wants to establish a worm breeding business when she leaves Coffee Creek next October because she is impressed with the cost of the red wigglers used in the garden.
"Have you ever had a steak that's $30 per pound?" says Duvall, incarcerated on drug charges.
The program spurred Duvall and other inmates to pursue agriculture or related fields, but its main purpose is to teach inmates how to cultivate a home garden and live healthier when they return to the community.
The garden also provides the prison kitchen with fresh food,generating 9,047 pounds of produce from 2009 to 2011. More than 10percent of crops has been donated to the Wilsonville Community Center. This year, the students and inmates already have reaped nearly half of that three-year total: 4,100 pounds, and the gardeners have hundreds of pounds of kale, leeks and lettuce left to harvest, Rutt said. Summer gleanings included tomatoes, squash and peppers. Cosmos, marigolds and zinnias brighten the garden.
Until recently, donations supported the gardening program at the 1,683-bed facility. Last year, Kaiser Permanente awarded a $180,000, three-year grant to the Oregon Public Health Authority to create a sustainable prison horticulture program with environmentally sound practices such as irrigating with captured rainwater. Rutt, in addition to her PSU duties, serves as the Public Health Division's part-time garden coordinator for the grant. Barger, her fellow founder, continues to volunteer.
Rutt received a $10,000 TogetherGreen fellowship in 2011, given through a partnership of the National Audubon Society and Toyota to bolster the garden program. The grant helped expand the program's composting project, make more educational events possible at the prison and supported construction of a greenhouse, to be completed within a month.
Other state prisons also house gardens, but university students and faculty are an added resource not many correctional facilities can tap.
"We need them, and we're here for their education as well," said Laurene Brenner, acting spokeswoman for Coffee Creek.

Location: National Cold Water Marine Aquaculture Center
Project Number: 8030-31000-003-00-D
Project Type: In-House Appropriated
Start Date: Dec 2, 2009
End Date: Dec 1, 2014
1: Define phenotypic measures and estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for commercially important traits such as growth, cold tolerance, fillet color, and fat content in Atlantic salmon. • 1A. Define phenotypic measures and estimate genetic parameters for growth (carcass weight), fillet color, and fillet fat content in Atlantic salmon. • 1B. Define phenotypic measures and estimate genetic parameters for cold tolerance in Atlantic salmon. • 1C. Genetic Variation in oysters for resistance to key diseases will be evaluated. 2: Develop a multi-trait selection index to produce and release Atlantic salmon germplasm selected for multiple traits. • 2A. Incorporate sea lice resistance, growth and color profile into the multi-trait selection index.
The research program supports the coldwater aquaculture industry with a breeding program developing improved lines of North American Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon cultured in research objectives in the breeding program is based on life stage and separation of year classes. An incubation system will be used for eggs and newly hatched fry before first feeding, parr tanks are used for first feeding fry to 30-40 g salmon, smolt tanks are for 30-40 g to 100 g pit tagged salmon, on-grow tanks are for 100 g to 1.0 kg salmon in their second year, 3-yr old broodstock tanks are for 1.0 kg to 3.0 kg salmon, and one 4-yr old broodstock tank is for growing salmon to 3.0 kg to 6.0 kg until spawning. Up to 224 families of Atlantic salmon with 300-500 eggs/family will be cultured each year. Approximately 250 eggs will be saved from each family mating and raised through parr size. Typically 30-40 smolts per family will be saved as nucleus of fish for the breeding program and cultured in biosecure tanks will become broodfish. Additional 30-40 smolts per family will be cultured and transferred to an industry collaborator for stocking into net pens for performance evaluations. Net pen fish will be cultured to market size, harvested from sea cages, and transported to a commercial processing plant. Data will be collected for carcass weight, sex, and stage of sexual maturity. Muscle tissue samples will be collected from each fish for fat and pigment analyses. A separate group of fish from each family will be pit tagged as smolts, cultured to 2-year old sub-marketable size and stocked into replicated fish culture tanks equipped filled with filtered, UV-treated seawater in a recirculation biofilter system. The water temperature will be lowered approximately 1C per day using a glycol-based chiller system capable of chilling seawater temperatures down to approximately -2C. Individual fish will be scored on the basis of temperature and time to loss of equilibrium and death and survival. Data will be analyzed to calculate phenotypic and genetic variation for carcass weight, fillet color, fillet fat, and cold tolerance traits. Heritabilities, breeding values, and genetic correlations for carcass weight, fillet fat, fillet color, and temperature tolerance obtained from performance data will be used to develop a selection index or index of merit for each individual broodfish chosen for spawning in a selected line. Selection of 4 year old fish for spawning will occur when fish are moved from 3-yr old broodstock tanks into the 4-yr brood stock system prior to the spawning season. Relative economic weights for each trait will be determined in consultation with industry collaborators and account for the market value of each trait. Germplasm from an Atlantic salmon line selected for multiple traits will be released to commercial producers and consumers.

Prefinished hardwood flooring, also known as factory-finished hardwood flooring, has become the most popular hardwood flooring of choice, surpassing traditional site sand and finish flooring. There are several common-sense reasons for this, which you'll likely conclude when you understand the difference between the two.
Prefinished Flooring
Prefinished flooring is flooring that is milled and finished in a manufacturer's factory-controlled environment. The finishing process is a multi-step process in which the individual floor boards are sanded, stained, sealed and protected. Many of today's high-tech finishes include a UV-curing stage that hardens the finish, to make it more resistant to scratches and scuffing. The factory-controlled environment includes stringent quality-control steps that must be adhered to, resulting in a uniform, consistent application. Some manufacturers, including Somerset Hardwood Flooring include an extra step in their finishing process called a "full face fill"—this attention to detail seals the pores of the wood enabling the manufacturer to produce an ultra-smooth, even, beautiful sheen that cannot be duplicated on-site.
Here are some of the benefits of installing a prefinished floor:
Consistent quality of finish
Clean—no sanding required in the home
No odor
Relatively quick process—minimizes inconvenience to the homeowner
Furniture can be placed in the room as soon as installation is complete
Manufacturers offer finish wear warranties
Site Finished Flooring
Site sanded and finished flooring is unfinished tongue-and-groove flooring that is installed and finished on site. Equipment is brought into the home to sand the flooring smooth (equipment can be noisy during this process). Sawdust generated is removed, the flooring is stained, and a polyurethane finish is applied to the prepared floor. The process can take several days while the stain dries before sealing, and the topcoat(s) are allowed to dry before moving furniture back into the room. There are some installers that use an advanced system designed to minimize sawdust in the home—but you can see that there is a potential for mess. Also, the stain and polyurethane give off odors that dissipate over time, but can be annoying. One of the benefits of a custom finished flooring has been that if you demand a very specific species and/or stain color(s), custom finishing can accommodate that.
Today's prefinished flooring is available in many colors, species, and textures. With all the options available today, a homeowner can achieve a very unique, custom-looking floor right out of the carton.

Eye Injuries
The structure of your face helps protect your eyes from injury. Still, injuries can damage your eye, sometimes severely enough that you could lose your vision. Most eye injuries are preventable. If you play sports or work in certain jobs, you may need protection.
The most common type of injury happens when something irritates the outer surface of your eye. Certain jobs such as industrial jobs or hobbies such as carpentry make this type of injury more likely. It's also more likely if you wear contact lenses.
Chemicals or heat can burn your eyes. With chemicals, the pain may cause you to close your eyes. This traps the irritant next to the eye and may cause more damage. You should wash out your eye right away while you wait for medical help.

Foreign Bodies
If you've ever gotten a splinter or had sand in your eye, you've had experience with a foreign body. A foreign body is something that is stuck inside you but isn't supposed to be there. You may inhale or swallow a foreign body, or you may get one from an injury to almost any part of your body. Foreign bodies are more common in small children, who sometimes stick things in their mouths, ears, and noses.
Some foreign bodies, like a small splinter, do not cause serious harm. Inhaled or swallowed foreign bodies may cause choking or bowel obstruction and may require medical care.

California's Homa captures NCAA men's golf championship
Milton, GA – California's Max Homa carded a 4-under 66 on Thursday to win the individual title at the NCAA Men's Golf Championship.
Homa's birdie-free round placed him at 9-under-par 201 through 54 holes and lifted him to a 3-stroke victory over six players, including second-round leader Jon Rahm from Arizona State, who slipped to a 1-over 71 during his final round.
Florida State's Daniel Berger (68), Auburn's Dominic Bozzelli (66), Rick Lamb (69) from Tennessee, UNLV's Kevin Penner (68) and Texas' Brandon Stone (68) joined Rahm in second place at the Crabapple Course of Capital City Club.

FamilyTreeCircles.com as Cousin Bait
Note: This was originally posted on the FamilyTreeCircles blog over a year ago. As I'm pulling that content into the new FTC blog, I've been post-dating them. But this one I think is worth reading again, so I'm setting the dates to today.
Catching up on my blog-reading, I came across Randy Seaver's post about "cousin bait".
Here's his overview...
Greta Koehl used the term "Cousin Bait" last month in her post Online Trees about the purpose of posting online family tree data. At least, that was the first use of the term I've seen published - an excellent term! Her point was that putting a family tree online in a database or on a web page may help induce distant cousins, who share your ancestry, into contacting you and perhaps provide more information about the common ancestral families.
While I've also never thought of it as "cousin bait", this is exactly what I had in mind when I created FamilyTreeCircles.com.
I've always described the concept as "casting a net" for other family tree researchers to find your posts, and then connect via FamilyTreeCircles.com.
And it's true that you can set some very effective bait with some simple posts on FamilyTreeCircles.com.
I wish Randy's example produced a FamilyTreeCircles.com result, but alas. Let's take a look at some recent posts and how they rank on Google.
Starting with the most recent FamilyTreeCircles.com journal, William SPINLEY + Emily WILHAM - Auckland 1800s, posted about an hour prior to writing this blog post.
A Google search for [William Spinley] produces a number one search result on Google just an hour after it was posted...
Here's another example of a more popular search result, [white family dna], 17MM results.
The author of this entry about a White family DNA project posted it here on FamilyTreeCircles as well as on Genforum at about the same time.
Her FamilyTreeCircles post is #3 on Google.com. The Genforum post is at #6. While not all posts make it to the first page of Google's results, both are a very effective way of getting some search engine exposure of your genealogy work.
If you're not doing so already, you should consider adding FamilyTreeCircles.com to your toolbox for getting your "cousin bait" out there on the search engine result pages.
New Feature: Private Messages OUTbox
When I built FamilyTreeCircles so many years ago, I had no idea how popular the private messages feature would be.
As of today, there have been over 18,000 messages sent through the private message system. I never would have guessed.
One of the most requested features that I get is for people to be able to see the messages that they have sent to others. Did I contact so-and-so about such-and-such? What did I say? Did she open it?
I'm happy to announce that I have added a new feature allowing you to view your outbox. In it, you can see all the messages you've ever sent.
Where is it? You'll see conspicuous links to your "Inbox" and "Outbox" in your private message area.
Here are a few notes about the new feature:
- You can view them, but you cannot delete them. (They don't belong to you any more!)
- You can see if the recipient has opened them
- You can still see them if the recipient has deleted them.
- I haven't structured the messages in any sort of "conversational" view.
Like me, you'll probably be a bit surprised at the number of messages that have gone un-opened. Honestly, I was quite disappointed at some of them. But at least now I know, and maybe I'll follow up again with some of them.
Enjoy, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Spam Spam Spam Spam
It's like a Monty Python skit around here!
I know that there has been a lot of spam here lately, and I thank the moderators who have been playing whack-a-mole trying to keep them at bay.
I've made a few small changes that I hope will thwart the majority of it.
If you see that something you post gets caught in a spam trap, please don't take it personally and know that I'll be keeping an eye on it. I apologize in advance for any false-positives that may happen.
Announcing: Favorites - More new features on Family Tree Circles
Hello. Your great feedback on some of the new stuff that I've been adding has inspired me to add more.
I've just added a "Favorites" feature.
Here's how it works...
You can add any post (journal, article, question) to your list of favorites by clicking the "Favorite" link. This link appears at the top of every journal. (give it a try, click the star at the top of this post):
and also in the journals lists (see callouts #2 and #3 in the image below)
You can view all your favorites under the "Journals" page. Look for the link on that page called "Favorites" (see callout #1 in the image below). You have to be logged in to use this feature.
Here's a direct link: Favorites
This is something that I've been wanting to add for a long time, to help keep track of journals that I want to get back to, or reference later, or just to mark as a "good one".
I hope you find it useful.
Admin stuff: Moving Servers
If you were here in the past half-hour, you know that FamilyTreeCircles was in maintenance mode for about a half hour.
I moved FamilyTreeCircles from one server to another so I could decommission a very old and very expensive server.
Things should be just fine (famous last words), but if you notice any strangeness at all please do let me know either by commenting here, or via email to scott at familytreecircles.com.
Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
Family Tree Circles Updates
Hello All.
I've just posted some updates to Family Tree Circles, that I hope will start us on the road to making this a better place for everybody. Here's what I've done...
The Family Tree Circles points system has been removed. I believe it has been broken for a long time, but in any case, the feedback that I've been getting is that it is encouraging a quantity over quality approach for some. I originally put that in place to recognize the top contributors, and I think it did serve a purpose for many years. It seems it is time to move on from that model. Instead, I do plan on doing some sort of user scoring/reputation system going forward. More on that in a bit.
Block/Unblock Users: A a sort of pressure relief valve, I've implemented a "block user" feature. This will hide journals for any blocked user in the places where journals are listed. You can still view individual journals or the profile of a blocked user. And you can always unblock a user from your own profile.
To block a user, click the "block this user" link in the bio section of a journal or that user's profile.
To unblock a user, you can click that link again (it'll change to "unblock"). Or you can view all the blocked users in your profile and unblock them from there:
Yes, you can block yourself. :-)
I don't love having to add this last feature, but it'll be interesting to see if it gets used.
What's next?
I know that neither of these solutions solve the difficult problem of someone flooding the active journal page with many posts, or lots of comments on their own posts. You can clean up the view for yourself with blocking, but most people won't do that and the flooding can continue. This is a difficult one to solve because some people who post great stuff may also post a several journals in a row. So, simply putting basic flood control in (ilke to limit posts to a certain number per hour) would hurt users who don't deserve it.
As I indicated above, I plan to implement an algorithmic scoring/reputation system that will take peer feedback into consideration when deciding which journals will be displayed in the journals lists.
Many of you have surely noticed back in the spring that I introduced "Thank" and "flag" links on journals. To those of you who have been using those, thanks. I'll be using that information in a future update.
In the meantime, I hope these two short-term changes help some.
New Features on Family Tree Circles
If you've been reading the FamilyTreeCircles newsletter, you know that I've been working on some new features on FamilyTreeCircles.
If you don't currently subscribe to the newsletter, you can sign up here.
I'm happy to say that a number of them have gone live today.
Here's an overview of what's new.
New Journal and Comment Views
You'll notice a new menu item called "Journals". That brings you to a new series of pages that give different views of journals and comments:
- Newest: All of the new journals
- Unanswered: Any journal that does not have a comment
- Last Activity: All journals sorted by last activity (either a new journal or a comment added)
- QuickSearch: search in all journals, more on that below
- Latest Comments: View just the latest comments, not journals
This functionality replaces the old tried and true "Active Posts" page, which remains available if that is what you're comfortable with.
Take a look through these menu items and see if these offer you any improvement in how to view the journals on Family Tree Circles
Quick Search
While you can use the search box in the upper right, the new Quick Search gives you a fast way to quickly sift through journals in the system to find keywords that you're looking for. Looking for a surname? just start typing it in to the quick search box and you'll immediately see any journals matching your search term.
Note: You can also search in just your own journals by accessing the quick search link from your own Journals page from your profile.
Journal "Thanks" and "Flag"
In order to reward people who are writing great journals, I've added a "Thank" button to the bottom of all journals.
If you like what someone wrote, just quickly click "Thank". I'm quietly keeping track of these for now, but soon I'll be exposing these numbers in the form of "popular journals" or people who get the most thanks. For now, just feel free to use it!
If you have any questions about these features, please drop a comment.
What to do about a member who is upsetting the community?
As communities grow there will be people who disagree, and people who upset the community with their behavior, whether it is intended or not. It is inevitable.
It seems we have ourselves in this situation. I won't name names, but you probably know what I'm talking about. I had hoped this situation would have resolved itself, but it came to a bit of a head over the past several days.
While quietly addressing the situation yesterday, I disabled this member's ability to post comments. I didn't feel it was necessary to publicize that action, but maybe it would have prevented some more misunderstandings.
I learned that later last night this particular member was subsequently deactivated by one of our admins. This is a decision that I understand and respect, but the technical ramifications of that were such that I decided to reverse that -- especially since I had already prevented him from posting comments and been in discussions with him to resolve the problems. More on that in a bit.
Apparently some people noticed both the deactivation and the reversal and are troubled by the apparent lack of action, or worse, the appearance that I'm sticking up for this member.
I want to explain that.
Account deactivation is something that is for the purpose of quickly removing a spammer from FamilyTreeCircles. This action removes all posts and all comments for a particular user. Deactivating a member like this who has posted a large number of posts and comments makes a big mess and fills the site with thousands of "account deactivated" messages. Worse, it potentially took away good information from the comments in some members' journals. I feel that we can address this in other ways. It is also a last resort that I hope to avoid.
I do recognize that there is an issue to be dealt with and I'm committed to getting it resolved.
Here's what I am doing:
I've indefinitely disabled this member's access to make comments, as it seems this is the primary source of the behavior that is offending others. The only way I will reinstate that access is if I'm convinced that the member will participate in a way that does not offend other members.
I have not disabled his access to posting journals. I don't see the harm in him doing that unless he uses that as a vehicle to address others or this issue, in which case I'll take further action. I don't anticipate that will be necessary.
I have been in communication with this member to start a conversation about what has happened and what changes we can make if he wants to continue to participate in this community.
I will be investigating ways to improve FamilyTreeCircles to allow the community to better self-manage and deal with these issues better before they get out of hand. For example, voting on comments up or down, so that offending comments can be flagged and hidden. This is something that I'll work on in the coming weeks so the next time this happens, well, hopefully we'll prevent it. (I've already done this on journals with "Thank" and "flag". More on that in another post.)
I care deeply about FamilyTreeCircles. It is something that I've been working on as a passion project for several years and it is distressing to me when there are issues. I hope that I can have your support in getting through this bump in the road.
Pulling your posts and going away is your prerogative, but I hope you will not do that. Instead, if you ever have any comments or feedback about this or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me at email@example.com. Heck, call me: +1 617-910-0055. That's how much I care about this.
Thanks for your help, support, and understanding.

New Feature: Genealogy Articles and Answers!
We're on a roll on FamilyTreeCircles, adding new features. We're really trying to round out the types of information that are available on FTC and I'm happy to say that there are now three types of postings available for everyone from new family researchers to experienced genealogists.
Look on the homepage and you'll see the following explanation of the options.
The last thing I want to do is introduce any confusion or uncertainty with more options and I've tried to make it as simple as possible. All three types of entries end up in the same places in the list on the homepage and in the active posts page, color coded so you can tell the difference at a glance.
There is still the same, old, tried and true Journal entries. Nothing has changed there. Use a journal entry for posting all your great family research. As a general rule, anything family or surname related should go in a journal. For the time being, only journals can be associated specifically with surnames and therefore show up on the surname page for any given surname.
If you've got a question about any genealogy topic, this is the place to ask. Maybe you're wondering about what sort of resources are available in Cork County Ireland. Or maybe you're stuck with a problem in Personal Ancestral File software. Ask about any genealogy topic, technique, method, or technology. Keep an eye on the open questions to see if you can answer a question for someone else. You can read more about this on our announcement of Answers from a few days ago.
Everybody is an expert about something. Maybe your experience has made you an expert on genealogy research in the state of Vermont, or researching slave ancestry in Virginia. Maybe you're an expert user of certain software or websites. Write an article and you'll not only provide the community with some great information, but you can establish yourself as an expert and direct people to your own blog for more information.
I've got some exciting ideas of where the Articles feature can go...more on that soon.
So there you have it. Something for everyone. It'll take some time for people to get used to the new features on FamilyTreeCircles. If you're one of our more experienced users, please give them a try and show folks how it's done!
New Features: User Search, etc.
Here's a quick update on some changes I've made to Family Tree Circles recently...
User Search - I've added a user search section to the search results page. So if you're looking for a user whose username you can't quite remember, put a partial name in the search box. Like this search for "ally" turns up our favorite FTC editor Allycat, and 74 others.
Email Address protection. We can warn and warn and warn, and people still put their email addresses in journals. This is a bad idea in general because spammers scan the web for email addresses to send horrible email to. I've coded things up so that if you're not logged into FTC, you won't see the email address. Just some indication that there's an email address there and that you must log in to read it. It is too much trouble for spammers to create an account just to get a few email addresses, so it should be effective.
Disappearing Newsletter Signup Box. You've probably noticed me experimenting with lots of different newsletter signup form designs in the right margin of the site in the past month. I've now set it up so if you have ever subscribed to the newsletter (and even subsequently unsubscribed), the form no longer shows on every page of FamilyTreeCircles (except on the blog).
If you have signed up for the newsletter, thanks! If not, and you'd like to, there's a signup box right over there to the right. And you won't have to look at that form any more on FamilyTreeCircles. :)

APEX 4.0 Early Adopter available now!
On Friday night last week we launched the Early Adopter's release of Oracle Application Express 4.0. You can try it out by signing up for a free workspace on our hosted instance at:
You'll be asked to fill out a brief survey, after which you'll be able to request a workspace.
This early adopter's release does not yet include all the features you'll see in the final product. Other features, that are already included, are not yet complete. And this being an early adopter's release, there are several bugs and issues you'll encounter.
One of the areas I'm focusing on, is the new APEX user interface, and the new theme 1. Both are still work in progress, i.e. we recommend using Firefox for now. Other browsers, including Internet Explorer will be supported down the road.
Please send us your feedback using the feedback link found in the upper right-hand corner of the Application Builder.

CAMP LEJEUNE � The Marine Corps is going back for its future.
CAMP LEJEUNE � The Marine Corps is going back for its future.
�We�re going back to the Marine Corps we had before 9/11,� said Maj. Gen. Ray Fox, commanding general of II Marine Expeditionary Force. �The MEF will look very similar to what it did �before we started the buildup for Iraq and Afghanistan.�
During the late 1990s, the Marine Corps had about 175,000 Marines, a number not much higher than the planned total force of 174,000.
Because of federal budget constraints and sequestration, the Marine Corps will relocate more than 90 personnel from the II MEF command element from Camp Lejeune to Norfolk, Va., by 2017. In line with this plan, the Corps will slim its forces to the desired number by the same year � an annual reduction of about 5,000 Marines. That reduction will affect the 53,000 Marines in II MEF.
By restructuring the command element of II MEF, the Corps will satisfy guidance by the Secretary of Defense to cut headquarters elements by 20 percent, Fox said.
The original target number identified by the Marine Corps for the draw down was 186,800, which changed when the budget started to �come apart,� Fox said. It was then determined by the Budget Control Act that the number needed to decrease more. The Marine Corps then proposed a 182,000 personnel end strength by 2016. Once sequestration came into effect and a study was conducted for the commandant of the Marine Corps, the number was then rolled down to 174,000. The reduction in forces to 174,000 will result in more frequent deployments and less time in the United States for troops, he said. Once the Corps reaches its goal of 174,000, Marines may see only two months home for every one month spent deployed, Fox said.
�We knew that 202,000 Marines was not a supportable number in the long run,� Fox said. �The commandant would tell you that (186,800 Marines) is the optimal force we need to support our nation ... but due to fiscal constraints, we cannot have a Corps that size.�
The end strength of the Corps, according to Fox, will see bigger cuts in deploying units of the II MEF compared to the base facilities and structures. Part of this consolidation will occur when the II MEF command element combines with Marine Forces Command and falls under a three-star general as opposed to the current command, which is led by the two-star Fox. The total cost of the consolidation has not been determined, he said.
The Marine Expeditionary Brigade, a force that will consist of several elements of thousands of Marines and sailors, will reside within II MEF. Its command element will consist of roughly 200 personnel. Once II MEF relocates to Norfolk, the MEB will stand alone with a one-star general in command. The MEB would have a headquarters capable of deploying as a war-fighting force.
Geography, according to Fox, is everything. Because of the move, the II MEF commanding general will have a much more difficult time scheduling face-to-face interactions with the other generals, subordinate commanders and Marines. Current practices within the MEF like face time with commanders are going to be 80 percent of the challenge, with the other 20 percent being the execution, he said.
�As we shrink down the MEF, we are going to see some change,� Fox said. �We are going to stand down one battalion and one squadron. ...We�re going to reorganize the logistics group so it has less people. ...We�ll maintain the capability just at a smaller capacity. ...We won�t have as much on the shelf.�
Gen. James Amos, the commandant of the Marine Corps, has discussed local impacts with the Carolina constituency in Washington D.C., while both Fox and Brig. Gen. Robert Castellvi have discussed local impacts with the areas local government, he said. Fox acknowledged that the drawdown will have an impact on Jacksonville, but is unsure how extensive it will be, he said.
�We�re certainly trying to make sure this is not a surprise to anybody,� Fox said. �We�re trying to lay out the full impacts of sequestration on what we consider the nation�s crisis response force. � (The drawdown) is certainly not the Marine Corps� or the commandant�s desire. ...I would encourage everybody to take advantage of the fact that we are being forewarned that changes are coming.�
Reductions in the force could have serious impacts on housing and businesses, according to Jacksonville City Mayor Sammy Phillips. Most of the city�s growth, according to Phillips, was seen during the 202,000 growth of the force. While the numbers have risen and fallen in the past, he thinks the city will adapt, he said.
While Phillips noted a �very good� working relationship with II MEF, he said the information on the move was received second hand, with clarification that came later. While Phillips said it is difficult to forecast the impact on a variety of markets, he said that �there will definitely be an impact.�
�We believe these reductions will have an impact on the local economy,� he said. �However, in the end, the Jacksonville area will continue to have a strong economy given the major role Camp Lejeune and New River Air Station will play in our national defense.�

What are energy drinks?
Energy drinks are caffeine-containing soft drinks with a stimulating effect. Typically they also contain other stimulants such as guarana and B vitamins.
For what purpose is Battery energy drink intended?
Battery is meant for the attainment of temporary additional energy and stimulation in a convenient and pleasantly flavoured liquid form.
For whom is Battery energy drink intended?
Battery energy drink is meant for all adults and young adults requiring temporary additional energy and stimulation. The product's marketing is aimed at over 15-year-old.
Have recommendations been given for the drink's use?
Battery always conforms to regulations established by local food authorities The usage recommendations usually also printed in the packaging are:
– The drink should not be ingested before bedtime (owing to caffeine's stimulative effect)
– Battery is not for children (under 15 year-olds), expectant mothers or caffeine-allergics
– The maximum recommended consumption is 3 pieces of 0,33l cans, 2 pint sized cans or 0,4 bottles (1 litre) per day.
What are the drink's affective ingredients and how many are there?
Battery energy drink's power is based on (depending on variant) coffee and guarana extracts.. The ingredients used in Battery Original energy drink are water, sugar, maltodextrin, taurine, citric acid (acidity regulator), coffee and guarana extracts, vitamins (niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamins B6, B2 and B12), aromas, as well as caramel (colorant) and sodium benzoate (preservative). The ingredients vary a bit from variant to another.
What kind of warning text is on the can?
Depending on local authorities demands. Usually: High caffeine content. Avoid drinking before bedtime. Not for children, expectant mothers or caffeine-allergics. Maximum recommended consumption 3 cans per day. "For children" means under 15-year-olds.
Why should children and expectant mothers avoid ingesting energy drinks?
Children should not be put in situations where energy drinks are necessary. Because children are more sensitive to caffeine, their ingestion of energy drinks may cause side effects such as restlessness, shivers and stomach pains. Food authorities, including Finland's Finnish Food Safety Authority (Evira) and the EU's Scientific Committee on Food (SCF), consider 300mg/day a safe upper limit for expectant mothers' caffeine consumption. Although this recommendation concerning the use of energy drinks assumes that this upper limit is not inadvertently exceeded, no proof exists that consumption exceeding the recommended limit is harmful to fetal development. According to the UKK Institute's nutritional expert Patrik Borg, "The warning on the cans is just to be sure. Moderation is the most sensible approach."
Why are athletes used so often in the marketing of energy drinks?
Sports are often associated with an active lifestyle. Many aspects of an athlete's life require endurance, and in these situations energy drinks can provide additional stimulation.
Is it safe to drink energy drinks while exercising or running or doing other sports?
Within the limits of our recommendation of maximum 1 litre per day, yes. Battery Hydro is especially meant to be used within an active lifestyle.
Like other Battery energy drinks, Battery Hydro contains the familiar functional ingredients. Battery Hydro is an isotonic energy drink; its electrolyte and sugar concentrations match the body's values, enabling it to effectively maintain the body's fluid balance. Battery Hydro contains minerals such as sodium and magnesium. Sodium replaces the salts that dissipate from the body during perspiration, while magnesium, for its part, helps muscles to recover from stress.
Can energy drinks be used with alcohol?
The Finnish Food Safety Authority (Evira) recommends the avoidance of energy drinks in connection with heavy alcohol consumption. Sinebrychoff advocates reasonable alcohol consumption, and in this matter we also believe in moderation.
Are energy drinks harmful to teeth?
Energy drinks' pH and sugar values are comparable to normal sugar-sweetened soft drinks and fresh juices, and are therefore no more harmful to the teeth. Teeth should be brushed regularly and xylitol chewing gum should be kept in mind. Battery Sugarfree energy drink alternative is also available.
Is there "real energy" in energy drinks?
Yes, in ordinary sugar-sweetened energy drinks the sugar content is approximately 10-15 g per decilitre, slightly more than in ordinary soft drinks. Consumers however expressly prefer the term "energy drinks" because of their stimulating effects. "Energy drink" has now become the established term for these types of beverages.
What is caffeine?
Caffeine is a stimulant found in over 60 plants, the best known of which are coffee, tea and cocoa.
Where does Battery energy drink's caffeine come from?
It is extracted from coffee and guarana.
What is the basis of caffeine's effect?
Caffeine activates the central nervous system, diminishing the feeling of fatigue.
How much caffeine is there in energy drinks?
The quantity of caffeine in energy drinks varies somewhat, but a 0,33l can of Battery energy drink, for example, contains 107 mg of caffeine. For comparison: the amount of caffeine in a cup of filter coffee is about 90-100 mg, and that in a normal cola drink about 42 mg.
Can you ingest too much caffeine?
No global definition available. As an example: the Finnish Food Safety Authority (Evira) considers the quantity of caffeine contained in 6 cups of coffee a reasonable dose for a 24-hour period; this is equivalent to approximately 5 cans of Battery per day. For most individuals, a toxic dose of caffeine is considered to be approximately 20mg/kg; for a person weighing 75 kg, this would be equivalent to the consumption of about 14 cans of Battery over a 24-hour period. In its statement, the EU's Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) has ascertained that energy drinks' caffeine concentrations are not harmful for healthy adults if the drinks are consumed sensibly. The recommended dosages are marked on energy drinks' cans.
What are the symptoms of excessive caffeine ingestion?
The effects of caffeine are highly personalized. The side effects resulting from excessive caffeine consumption can include restlessness, agitation, shivers and stomach pains. The continued ingestion of excessive caffeine amount may lead to dependency.
Can an overdose of caffeine be dangerous?
The effects of caffeine are highly personalized. The side effects resulting from excessive caffeine consumption can include restlessness, agitation, shivers and stomach pains. The ingestion of caffeine-containing drinks is not recommended for children, expectant mothers and caffeine-allergics. The EU's Scientific Committee on Food (SCF) has ascertained that energy drinks' caffeine concentrations are not harmful for healthy adults if the drinks are consumed sensibly.
What is guarana?
Indigenous tribes in Brazil have used the guarana plant as a natural medicine for thousands of years. Its many positive effects are associated with, for example, enhanced brain functioning and performance levels. Guarana is also used as a raw material in energy drinks. A portion of Battery energy drink's caffeine is derived from guarana extract.
What is the basis of guarana's effect?
Guarana's effects are based on its high caffeine concentration.
How much guarana is there in Battery energy drink?
Guarana extract is the source of the caffeine in Battery energy drink; one can contains 107mg, or 320 mg per litre.
Can you ingest too much guarana?
The effects of guarana-containing products do not differ from other caffeine-containing products and the possible side effects are similar. Regarding caffeine, the quantity of caffeine contained in 6 cups of coffee is considered a reasonable dose for a 24-hour period; this is equivalent to approximately 5 0,33l cans of Battery energy drink. For a person weighing 75 kg, a toxic dose of caffeine would require the consumption of about 14 0,33l cans of Battery energy drink over a 24-hour period.
Why is there both caffeine and guarana in Battery energy drink?
Guarana has traditionally been used as the source of caffeine in energy drinks; it is part of the energy drink concept.
What is taurine?
Taurine is a micromolecular amino acid. There is a great deal of it in fish, meat and certain plants, including beans, peanuts and mushrooms. To a certain extent, the body also produces its own taurine. Because taurine is secreted in mother's milk, it is added to breast milk substitutes.
What is the basis of taurine's effect?
Taurine appears in the brain, the eye's retinae, as well as in heart and bone marrow tissue. In the brain taurine functions as a transmitter. Taurine affects hormonal secretions, sensitivity to pain as well as the body's temperature regulation.
Why do energy drinks contain taurine?
Taurine actives the nervous system. It protects cell membranes and facilitates the movement of substances through the cell membranes.
Can you ingest too much taurine?
There are no nutritional dosage recommendations for taurine. Because no side effects have been detected, no overdose limits have been set.
Are the studies about the safety of taurine?
Yes. European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) released its study in January 2009, and the conclusion is that the taurine in energy drinks is perfectly safe.
EFSA: report about taurine in energy drinks:
PDF Summary:
Why do energy drinks contain B vitamins?
An energy drink's vitamin composition is built to support the drink's purpose. A traditional part of energy drinks, vitamins participate in the body's energy metabolism.
Can you ingest too many B vitamins?
Because B vitamins are water-soluble vitamins, extra vitamins pass through the body; B vitamins do not form large concentrations in the body. An exception is vitamin B12 that is stored. Owing to their water solubility, B vitamins should be ingested regularly and continuously. B vitamin overdoses are rare. Most B vitamins are safe, even in large 24-hour doses.
What is maltodextrin?
Maltodextrin is a long-chain sugar.
Why do energy drinks contain maltodextrin?
Besides their stimulating effects, energy drinks contain slightly more energy than normal soft drinks; this energy is derived from maltodextrin.
How much sugar is there in energy drinks?
The sugar content of most energy drinks is usually 10-15 g per decilitre; Battery Original energy drink's sugar content is 11.5 g per decilitre. The energy in a decilitre is 50 kcal. Battery Sugarfree energy drink contains only 5 kcal per decilitre.
Can a sudden rise in blood sugar cause symptoms?
In this respect energy drinks are no different from other stimulants with high sugar concentrations. Energy drinks do not cause exceptional changes in blood sugar levels compared to other stimulants with high sugar concentrations such as, for example, sweets.
Where is Battery energy drink sold?
Nowdays Battery energy drink is sold in about 40 countries around the world. To name few examples: Finland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, South Africa, Jordan and several countries in Central and South America.
What is the company behind Battery energy drink?
Sinebrychoff is the leading manufacturer of beers, ciders, soft drinks and energy drinks in Finland. Sinebrychoff began its brewing operations in 1819 and is today part of the international Carlsberg Group. Sinebrychoff is the oldest brewery in the Nordic and the oldest foodstuff manufacturer in Finland. Battery is Sinebrychoff's own innovation, and it has been sold in Finland since 1997. www.sinebrychoff.fi

Debbie Croft: For Mariposa man it really is a wonderful life
Frank Bancroft Walker and his son Marc are "bachin' it," they tell me. Their 1930s Mariposa home is cluttered, but comfortable enough for the male residents.
Marc left his job driving semis several years ago to care for his parents.
Walker says he feels like he's 89 going on 189. As a diabetic, he often receives phone calls reminding him of medical appointments or prescription changes. He gets around by using a walker.
His wife, Isabel, died recently, but her influence is still seen in the home. The house was built in a quiet neighborhood where Frank Walker has lived for 22 years.
"I had construction experience," he said. "So after moving in, my sons and I gave it a face-lift."
I learned a lot about Walker on an afternoon I spent visiting with him last month.
Following an extensive education at various institutions in California and along the East Coast, Walker spent six years as a naval officer. He's also a graduate of the Youth With a Mission missionary school.
Walker speaks fluent Spanish and Portuguese, and met his wife in Peru, where he worked in commercial fishing and boat construction. His vocational career spanned 40 years, including work as a farm chemical market developer in Latin America, tennis teacher and licensed general building contractor.
Frank and Isabel Walker had four sons and one daughter.
Upon retirement in Mariposa, he became a columnist and feature writer for the Mariposa Gazette and the Mariposa Tribune. He also volunteered with Gideons International, Mariposa's Manna House and as a chaplain with the Mariposa County Sheriff Department, ministering to incarcerated men.
His landscape photography has won more than over 100 ribbons. And he plays the harmonica pretty well.
Recently, Walker published two books, and he has written a third that's ready for publication. Walker's specialty is short stories – memoirs of his life and the lives of friends and family.
In his first book, "A Key, a Padlock and Milk of Magnesia," he writes about his father, Fred J. Walker, who was a newspaper writer, a Hearst editor and city editor for San Francisco's largest newspaper. He occasionally brought home famous people for the family to meet.
While covering the White House and Capitol Hill as an International News Service correspondent in Washington, D.C. correspondent, Walker's dad became a personal friend of President Calvin Coolidge.
Walker himself had an encounter with Winston Churchill at Union Station in Washington, D.C. He also met professional tennis player Bobby Riggs and Brazil's former president, Juscelino Kubitschek – the man who initiated the building of a new capital city, Brasilia.
Isabel grew up in Paris during the German occupation. Severe food restrictions had been imposed, and without friends in the country who raised farm animals, they didn't have any eggs. Isabel's mom sent her daughters to a farm to buy eggs. When the farmer learned the girls spoke English, he led them to an injured American paratrooper hiding in his barn. The girls helped him escape, and he gave them his silk handkerchief. Years later it was passed to Isabel's son Marc, who became a paratrooper.
The introduction summarizes the book, and each chapter focuses on a particular theme.
Frank Walker's second book is "Are the Comatose Awake?"
"Yes, they are," Walker assures his readers. A family friend suddenly grew ill and had to be hospitalized. Slipping into a coma, the doctors didn't think she would live long. When she regained consciousness several days later, she told Isabel that she had heard Frank standing near her, praying.
Other stories in the book share Walker's spiritual insights.
The third book doesn't have a title yet. The stories range from dealings with cannibals on a Fiji island to one of his sons seeing an albino hummingbird.
"This book is about the unusual," Walker says.
Life has slowed down quite a bit for Frank Walker, but he says as long as God gives him breath, he plans to spend his days sharing the stories of his life with others. His books are available at www.amazon.com.

Nothing is more disconcerting than to lay down a background layer of ink and watch your paper do an impression of the North Atlantic in storm season.
One of the first art prints I made hangs on the wall in my living room. It's been around since 1982, and although the basic elements are still there, some of the colors, especially the reds and purples, have faded to the point that they can't be distinguished from each other. If this print is like many from that time period, if popped out of the frame, it has probably yellowed as well.
Being young, stupid, uneducated, and naïve (pick any four) about the art-print game, I used a speckletone parchment paper that was all the rage in graphic design at the time. We bought this from our paper supplier, who sold tons of cover-weight paper, with all kinds of finishes. What they didn't sell
was rag paper—paper made from cotton, which, along with other characteristics, is also acid-free and has neutral pH.
Once I started working with artists and talking to other printers, I quickly learned about the difference between cellulose (tree-based) papers, which make up most of the paper we see in our regular lives, and so-called rag paper, made from cotton and used almost exclusively for fine-art prints, watercolors, and archival documents. Its other major usage is for banknotes.
From its invention in 105 AD in China until 1840, when a Canadian and a German both independently discovered how to pulp tree fibers, most paper was made from cotton or rags and some plant fibers, including hemp, mulberry, rice, and bamboo. For you trivia buffs, the word paper is derived from papyrus, used since ancient times in Egypt, but not considered true paper because it was not pulped, only flattened, a technicality.

Dear friends
NewTowncarShare News is searching for its next editor in chief, following Editor Greg Hanscom's announcement that he'll be leaving us at the end of the year, after 10 years with the organization.
HCN's former associate editor, Matt Jenkins, apparently got lost en route to California, where he was planning to set up shop as our California/Great Basin correspondent. He ended up in Grants Pass, Ore., where he'll be West Coast correspondent instead, keeping an eye on California, Oregon and Washington. Send him hot news tips at [email protected] or P.O. Box 1415, Grants Pass, OR 97528.
"If this organization is going to meet its charge, it's going to have to be diverse, because the West is becoming diverse." That's how HCN Publisher Paul Larmer kicked off a recent Saturday, during which 30 staffers and board members explored every imaginable dimension of diversity — race, class, age, religion, etc. — under the tutelage of diversity consultant Angela Park. We then discussed how diverse HCN is at present, and how diverse we'd like it to be. Bottom line: Although we're more diverse than some of us realized, we have a long way to go, particularly in the race department.
HCN is steeped in the worlds of journalism and environmental advocacy, both of which are overwhelmingly white. Board member Marc Sani, a publisher from California, said that one-third of the American public is now made up of minorities, but 40 percent of newspapers have no journalists of color. Dan Luecke, a board member and a longtime environmental activist, said that the environmental movement has failed miserably in its efforts to become more racially diverse. "HCN can play an important role in dragging environmental organizations into something they pay lip service to," he said.
Board member Luis Torres said it's possible. He co-founded a remarkably diverse green group, the National Network of Forest Practitioners (HCN, 11/8/04: New ways to work in the woods). "Inherently, we human beings see the benefit of diversity," he said.
Several staffers pointed out that bringing racial diversity to the HCN staff will be tough in mostly white, rural Colorado. Web Editor Paolo Bacigalupi described how difficult it has been for his wife, Anjula Jalan, whose parents emigrated from India, to live in Paonia (HCN, 2/3/03: Living on the sharp edge of diversity). "If we truly want diversity," he added, "we have to be ready to interact with people who are truly different than ourselves."
Several people mentioned that we could start by including a greater diversity of opinions in the newsmagazine and our Writers on the Range column syndicate. "Should we bring in a bunch of oil and gas drillers?" asked board member Andy Wiessner. Sure, said fellow board member Mark Harvey: "We are excluding a huge body of knowledge from this culture."
We left the meeting with heads full of questions, mainly about where HCN needs to go from here. For starters, we'll continue to reach out to racially diverse freelance writers, and use a broad range of sources in our stories. A special committee, made up of staffers and board members, will chart a path from there.

The Taxation Facts team are here to help you understand the ins and outs of the taxation system.
Government taxation is a method of extracting money from the population of a country, as well as from businesses and organizations. International tax is used to get money from businesses both national and international, with companies subject to the rules of individual countries, as well as having separate rules for offshore taxation which applies to any income that doesn't fall under the jurisdiction of any particular government. The majority of governments have a system that combines both areas.

Leading up to tonight's screening a number of press articles have appeared about Turing, including a long one entitled Outcast who gave us the modern world in The Sunday Times. The article reflects a worrying trend in talking about Turing: a sort of Turing fetish.
Of course, I'm partly responsible for all this. Having campaigned for the public apology for the treatment of Turing which resulted in the 2009 government apology. What I wanted from that campaign was national (and, perhaps, international recognition) for Turing. That part worked, but we need to be mindful not to go too far.
The Sunday Times article says:
Had he lived, he might have been able to jump-start a new industrial revolution 20 years early — and in his homeland rather than 5,000 miles away in Silicon Valley.The problem with this line of thinking is that it overlooks the realities of the size of the computer market in the UK and US, the invention of the transistor at Bell Labs, the incredible power of the military-industrial complex and it denigrates those who did work in early computing in the UK. It also overlooks the fact that post-World War II Britain was in serious dire straits: heavily indebted to the US and Canada (a debt Britain didn't finish repaying until 2006) and with its economy tattered.
It is fascinating to ponder what might have happened had he lived. Turing spent a couple of years in America in the late 1930s and showed no sign of wanting to stay. It is unlikely that he would have succumbed to the brain drain.
This brilliant, charming, odd, driven workaholic could have turned the old industrial heartlands of Lancashire into a British Silicon Valley and perhaps America's brightest and best would have flooded east across the Atlantic.
Sure, Turing was damned important (I wouldn't have campaigned for recognition if I didn't think so), and his contributions to computer science, AI, code-breaking and morphogenesis were massive. But to think his death is somehow why Silicon Valley isn't in Britain is a mistake.
I talked this over with a scientific historian the other day and he made the point that the US computing market (both private and military) was massive at the time Turing was alive. By 1950 IBM had over 30,000 employees and greater than $250m in revenue. The combination of a massive home market and enormous Cold War spending (for example, on SAGE) meant that the US was running fast in the computing game.
At the same time an Alan Turing fetish means we might overlook the other great people who worked in early computing: Tommy Flowers was the eminently practical man who built Colossus; Maurice Wilkes was the man behind EDSAC. And what of British computing projects such as the Pilot ACE, LEO, and Manchester Baby and Manchester Mark I?
The LEO was up and running while Turing was still alive. And it was a business computer running in the UK in 1951.
It's a simple, and tempting, story to say that had Alan Turing lived that Britain would have been years and years ahead (and perhaps so far ahead to have beaten the US), but I think it's a fantasy. The Sunday Times article even goes so far as to suggest that Turing might have emerged as the leader of a British Google or Apple. The article posits that Turing would not have moved to the US.
This Alan Turing fetish extends outside computing. His work on Enigma overshadows the amazing work on cracking the Lorenz cipher which led to the Colossus machine. The cracker of that cipher, Bill Tutte, did leave the UK (in 1962) for Canada.
Let's put a halt to the fantasy and focus on the reality: Turing was a brilliant man and we should celebrate that and the work that he did do. The work he did was amazing enough without burdening his legacy with typical British bemoaning of our lack of megainfluence in the world (in this case, in the world of computing).
So, watch tonight's program: it's good television.
PS A reader points out that The Sunday Times overlook the importance of the British company ARM. Very true, few people outside computing have heard of the company, but they probably have an ARM processor in their pocket.

Streamside Woodlot
A tree-lined stream serves as a buffer to keep farm nutrients from polluting waterways, and serves as habitat for beneficial organisms.
Industrial food production, which currently dominates U.S. agriculture, is a dead end. It damages air, water and soil, harms rural communities, and limits future productivity.
But there's a better way. Scientists call it agro-ecological agriculture. We call it healthy farms. Healthy farms can be just as productive as industrial farms—and a lot more sustainable.
Interact with our healthy farm to learn more—and then take action to help make our vision reality!
A tree-lined stream serves as a buffer to keep farm nutrients from polluting waterways, and serves as habitat for beneficial organisms.
Cover crops like red clover improve soil fertility while reducing soil erosion, drought vulnerability, and herbicide use.
Rotating several crops over multiple years can improve soil health, reduce chemical fertilizer and pesticide use, and increase yield.
Well-managed pastures reduce erosion, build soil fertility, provide habitat for beneficial organisms, and result in healthier animals.
Crops like apples and broccoli provide new market opportunities for the farm—and healthy food for consumers.
Energy crops like switchgrass provide another market for the healthy farm while making good use of its least productive land.
Trees, shrubs and grasses provide habitat for beneficial organisms, increasing biodiversity and reducing the need for insecticide.
The healthy farm is a thriving business. Research shows that farmers can adopt healthy practices without sacrificing profit or productivity.
Besides reducing workers' exposure to pesticides and other toxins, a truly healthy farm offers its workers fair wages and working conditions.
Integrating uncultivated areas helps preserve biodiversity, reducing the need for fertilizers and pesticides and increasing productivity. Learn more
Plants and animals are good for each other. A healthy farm takes advantage of this by recycling nutrients in the form of manure. Learn more
Growing a variety of different crops increases soil fertility and reduces the need for pesticides. Learn more
Blanketing bare fields with cover crops in between cash crop plantings is just what the doctor ordered for healthy soil, recycling nutrients, and reducing weeds and pests. Learn more
Healthy farm practices build soil fertility—so less chemical fertilizer is needed—while reducing erosion and making the farm less vulnerable to drought.
Fewer toxic chemicals plus a broader range of plant species equals a better habitat for birds, beneficial insects, and other organisms that pollinate plants and help keep pests at bay.
A healthy farm can be a profitable farm—and it can be an important contributor to the economic well-being of the surrounding community.
A healthy farm uses less chemical fertilizer, pesticide, and antibiotics; reduces pollution of water and air; and shrinks global warming impact.
Healthy farm practices can increase yields, reuse farm wastes, and make better use of marginal land.
