Businesses could see their energy bills increase by up to 10% this year, thanks to the impact of the Capacity Market and rising Renewables charges. Also, a shake-up of DUoS charging on the horizon could have major impacts from next year.
Head of Pricing Gavin Baker previews our latest non-commodity costs forecast ahead of our webinar later this week.
Capacity Market shapes the landscape for 2017
Over the last two months, we've seen two Capacity Market auctions. The T-1 auction closed at £6.95/kW for the year ahead and T-4 closed at £22.50/kW for 2020/21. To the surprise of the industry (and the relief of the bill payer), these prices were lower than anticipated. The final prices were driven down by the auctions being over-subscribed and the willingness of existing coal generation to accept low prices for their Capacity Market contracts at the expense of more demand side management.
We will discuss the auction results in our webinar and share our forecasts of Capacity Market costs out to 2020.
No decision yet on Energy Intensive Industries(EII) Exemption
The impact of the EII Exemption is creating a lot of uncertainty for energy bills this year. The Government is planning to exempt EII businesses from the cost of the Renewables Obligation (RO) and Small-Scale Feed-in Tariff (FiT), which means the extra cost has to be picked up by non-exempt businesses. But the scheme is still pending State Aid approval, so we don't know yet when it will come into effect or how much EII volume will be included in the exemption.
To help customers budget for this increase, we will be exploring the high, mid and low scenarios in Thursday's webinar.
DCP228 changes DUoS charging from 2018
Since our last webinar in November, yet another industry change has come to fruition. The DCP228 modification will change the DUoS charging methodology, making it more cost reflective across red, amber and green bands. In terms of its impact on bills, there will be winners and losers, with businesses generally finding that the changes see their DUoS costs increase, to the benefit of domestic customers who see generally see a cost reduction.
Join our webinar to hear more about DCP228 and what it could mean for your bills from April 2018.
Last chance to register for the webinar
With industry change imminent so early on in 2017 and many developments to stay on top of this year, why not join our action packed 30 minute non-commodity cost forecasts webinar this Thursday - 11am for consultants and 3pm for supply customers.

Recycling is the watchword of the day. There are many auction Websites that are readily available, and a lot of people are melting down and selling their scrap metals. If you can gather a few simple tools you can build your own crucible and begin melting down your broken jewelry, mismatched silverware and scrap metal. You can "cut out the middle man" and profit from your own metal while investing in your family's future and helping the environment by recycling on your own.
Find the directions on your bag of cement. Pour 3/4 of the recommended amount of water into your wheel barrow. Slowly add the entire bag of cement a little at a time. Stir in each bit with your shovel as you go. Be careful not to pour the cement too fast as this will cause a hazardous dust to rise from the mix. You will want to continue mixing your cement and water until it reaches a toothpaste-like consistency. If it gets too thick, add more water.
Dip your metal bucket and flower pot into the cement. Roll them both around. Coat them well inside and out. Set them both aside onto a piece of wood or metal. You will want the containers to sit in a place that is warm and dry, preferably in the sun.
Dump the remainder of your cement on the ground in the spot where you want to use your crucible. Smooth out the cement with your shovel. The size and shape are unimportant, but you can control the shape of your pad by building a form out of 2-inch x 4-inch boards if you wish. Place your 4 bricks in a square small enough to sit in the 5-gallon bucket. It should be large enough for it to remain stable. Let your cement base and your containers sit at least 24 hours to harden. Remember to keep your cement warm and dry as it sets up.
Place your large container onto the brick and cement base. Add the gallon of sand. Sit your small container in the middle of the sand and surround it with charcoal. Place your charcoal briquettes all around the small container, but don't place them on top (this will dilute the purity of your molten metal) or beneath (this will cause your metal to spill out as the charcoal underneath burns away). Place the metal to be melted into the small container. Light your charcoal.
Keep an eye on your crucible. Your metal will melt in 15 minutes to an hour. When it is molten, use your tongs to lift out the small container. Pour the molten metal into the muffin pan.
Things You'll Need
- Work gloves
- Bag of heat resistant cement
- Metal 5-gallon bucket
- 1 quart Ceramic flower pot
- Metal fireplace tongs
- Iron muffin pans
- 4 bricks
- 1 gallon of sand
- Bag of charcoal
- Wheel barrow
- Shovel
Working with fire can be hazardous. Please take precautions in choosing where and when to use your crucible. Working with molten metal can present burn and fume hazards. Please familiarize yourself with proper smelting safety.

Gudi Padwa, Cheti Chand, , Ugadi – make it a Great day and a Great Year.Happy New year! A very happy new Financial year Year too . Well moving back to the topic : Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt is a new book by Michael Lewis to be released today. I have been following Mr Lewis when I first read his best work in "Liar's Poker" . I have read almost all his books published in the past and found every time fresh things to explore in this financial jungle.
He appeared for an interview day before yesterday before the release of Flash Boys," is scheduled to be released on Monday, appeared on "60 Minutes" to argue that high-speed trading has ripped off investors not in possession of lightning-fast computers and special cables.
Flash Boys is about a small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and that, post–financial crisis, the markets have become not more free but less, and more controlled by the big Wall Street banks. Working at different firms, they come to this realization separately; but after they discover one another, the flash boys band together and set out to reform the financial markets. This they do by creating an exchange in which high-frequency trading—source of the most intractable problems—will have no advantage whatsoever.
The characters in Flash Boys are fabulous, each completely different from what you think of when you think "Wall Street guy." Several have walked away from jobs in the financial sector that paid them millions of dollars a year. From their new vantage point they investigate the big banks, the world's stock exchanges, and high-frequency trading firms as they have never been investigated, and expose the many strange new ways that Wall Street generates profits.
I am not a very keen observer or follower of the high frequency trading, but if you have links in the market its better to be a jack of all rather narrowing your horizons.
Looking forward to hands on the Flash boys when its available in Indian market 🙂

These are some animals you wouldn't expect to be this big, since they usually come in much smaller sizes. But there is always a giant among the pack, just like among human beings. If these animals were athletes, they would all be football and basketball players, maybe some would be weight lifters. They are just so unusual, things that you wouldn't want to bump into in the dark.
Some of these animals are downright scary. A giant rat? Okay that's just ridiculous. A giant catfish? Who knows what lurks in the sea. Some of these animals are even social media stars with their own Facebook followings.
There are even common farm animals who happen to be extra large, like a giant horse, giant cow, and giant donkey. The giant sea life can feed a village for a month. The giant boat eating spider can probably scare a village for a month before being caught.
Some things should remain small. Unless all humans grow to be super large in proportion to such animals, they really need to stay small like most of their brethren. Sometimes it gets dangerous. The giant crocodile even killed a human before being captured. At least the giant tortoises are more tame, despite being just ridiculously big.

You have arrived at strongDM's intro guide! In this guide, we will cover the basics: what strongDM is, the problems it solves, and how it works, before pointing you towards further information on how to get started.
strongDM is a control plane to secure access to servers and databases. strongDM simplifies onboarding, offboarding, and evidence collection for technical teams. strongDM consists of an authentication API, protocol aware proxy, and log repository. strongDM deploys as a self-healing mesh network that works out of the box.
The key features of strongDM are:
Authentication API: strongDM integrates with identity providers such as Okta, OneLogin, GSuite, and ADFS using OIDC. This streamlines the work to onboard and offboard technical staff by centralizing permissions to databases and servers as well as applications.
Proxy: strongDM routes all database and server connections through its protocol-aware proxy, which automatically load balances and fails over to manage high availability.
Log repository: strongDM deconstructs every database and server protocol in order to log every permission change, query, ssh, and RDP session. Log storage is fully configurable with options to retain logs locally, encrypt, and stream to any log aggregator.
strongDM is designed to make Infrastructure teams' lives easier by eliminating the administrative work to manage and monitor access to databases and servers. The service is designed for modern, elastic environments and can deploy across any cloud, on-prem, or hybrid environment.
strongDM deploys via a statically compiled Go binary. Here's how it works on your machine, in the cloud, or behind a firewall. For a deep-dive of our architecture, head over to our Architecture pages.
strongDM creates a software-defined network that securely manages and monitors access to databases and servers. To access the network, end users install a client locally on their machine. Users authenticate with their preferred identity provider.
Upon successful authentication, the client routes all traffic through a single TLS 1.2 secured TCP connection to one or more proxies that may be hosted in the cloud or on-prem. The proxy validates the user's session and permissions, then intelligently routes the session to the target database or server through the most efficient path. The proxy logs every user's session, query, SSH, and RDP commands. The proxies may be chained together and operate with egress-only in order to respect the integrity of isolated environments.
While strongDM can function with a single proxy, redundancy is recommended to avoid failure scenarios. Redundant proxies are recommended for each datacenter and/or VPC. The network is agentless and does not require anything to be installed on the target database or server.

Bye Bye Bottles – Bottle to Sippy Cup, A smooth transition!!
Skandha bid goodbye to bottle when he turned 11 months old!! Right from his 11th month birthday, he completely stopped using bottles. This is what we had planned. We wanted to slowly wean the bottle without troubling our LO. We wanted to completely stop using bottles after Skandhu's 1st birthday. But to our surprise, our boy made us proud by weaning the bottle a month before his first B'day This is really a great achievement!! Our Ped said that all of us deserved a pat on our back…. We felt so proud and happy
We introduced sippy cup when Skandhu was around six months old. He first took water from his sippy cup. After his 8th month birthday, we introduced formula in his sippy cup. Honestly speaking its not fair to expect a 8 month old baby to take his liquids only from the sippy cup Our intention was to let him feel that sippy can be used to take formula too and not just water alone.
From his 8th month b'day till he turned 10 months old, we alternated sippy cup and bottle during the day time. He would take maximum 1 oz from his sippy or sometimes nothing at all. But we never forced him to drink from his sippy. Since he took solid food during day time, we really didn't bother much. For every sippy cup feeding that he didnt do well, he would make up during his next bottle feed session Basically our idea was just to make him understand that formula should also be taken from the sippy!
After his 10th month b'day, we completely stopped giving bottles in the day time. By then, Skandhu was taking solid food (adult food – no mashing) so during day time, he showed more interest in solids and not in formula. We took this as a wonderful opportunity and started giving sippy alone. Again, he wouldnt drink much (sometimes wouldn't even touch!)
We kept giving bottle in the night time, Funny thing was that he would wake up at least 2 times in the night (and spoil our sleep )to have his bottle. May be he was taking revenge on us for not giving his bottle in the day time
One night he kept on sucking his bottle (with formula) for about 30 mins. He didn't drink the formula, just wanted to suck suck and suck his bottle It was so funny! We let him romance with his bottle till his heart's content
Just a week before his 11th month b'day, every time we offered the bottle, we would say "Mommy's friend (K Aunty) had delivered a baby. Skandhu is a big boy and soon he is going to be 1 year old. K aunty's baby is very small now and she needs the bottle. Since Skandhu is a good boy, Mommy has planned to give away Skandhu's bottles to K aunty's little baby". I believe that babies understand what we speak and what we do! This really worked out for us!!!
After his 11th month b'day, we offered the sippy even in the night time and voila… Skandhu started sleeping well Ha ha our LO understood that he wouldnt get bottles even at night, so he stopped waking up often (as he used to do previously) and finally we started enjoying good night sleep
Did he cry/fuss or get cranky during the bottle to sippy transition? : Yes, yes and uhhh… yes he did. We distracted him with toys, books and taking him out for walks/shopping.
Did we give up to his crankiness?: NO! As parents we need infinite patience to deal with a baby As I mentioned earlier, we took 8-10 months as a trial period. During the trial period we gave him formula in his sippy every now and then (but only during the day time). After his 10 month b'day, we completely stopped bottles in the day time. It was easy for us to distract him with all other activities. After his 11th month b'day we stopped the night bottle feed too!
We lost our sleep playing with a cranky child, but very soon he learnt that if he wakes in the night he would get only SIPPY CUP! One thing that I would like share is "Be firm". We need not shout/yell at the child. But we should be firm in our actions.
The only time that we gave bottle during this transition period was when Skandhu had his tonsure and ears piercing. He got his bottle on those 2 days.
Mommy's Tips on making baby drink from the sippy cup:
When to introduce the sippy cup to babies: Doctors say that we can introduce sippy when the baby is 5 months old. We started when Skandhu was almost 6 months old. By then Skandhu sat by himself. I didnt want to give sippy in lying posture.
How to introduce the sippy cup: Try to give water in the sippy cup. Sit with your child, hold the sippy for him. Slowly try to feed him (as we do with the bottles). If baby refuses to open the mouth, do not force. Try again after some time.
What to do if the baby plays with the bottle: Let him play! Let him get used to the sippy. Do sit near him and watch him as he plays with the sippy (for obvious safety reasons)
What should we do if baby doesnt take the sippy: Do not force. Give him some time. Change the sippy cup. Our son didn't like the sippy when I first introduced it to him. He didn't like the spout of the sippy cup that I gave. It was as not soft as his bottle nipple. Then I bought a sippy cup with a soft spout which resembled his bottle nipple. He did amazingly well with the new cup.
When should we completely wean the bottle: During our 8 month visit, our Ped mentioned that it would be ideal if Skandhu takes his liquids (milk) in sippy cup when he turns 1 year old. We worked towards that and completely weaned the bottle by 11 months itself.
How to make a smooth transition from bottle to sippy: Read my experience in switching to sippy from bottle that I have mentioned above. Whatever way you follow, remember to be PATIENT!
Which sippy cup is best: Depends on your child. After so many good reviews, I bought Tommy Tippy sippy cup. It was great. I had it a cover for the spout and was spill proof. But our LO didnt like it! He found the spout to be hard. Skandhu liked the soft spout of Nuby. Now at 12 months, our LO doesn't mind if the spout is hard/soft as long as it has his favourite milk in it

herculian task.but done in goodway
Love the detailed account of how to transition from bottle to sippy cup! This is very helpful for a first-time mom like me. I will definitely use your advice (and tips) to try to get my son on the sippy by one year, too. Great blog — i enjoyed reading about how little Skandha surprised you and made you proud parents!!
Hi Skandhu's Mommy,
That was a great read. I wish I came across your article atleast an year ago. My fault – I never tried.
Actually my son is 2 yrs old and he's still been bottle feeding until last week. We have just realized what a bad mother I've been (he's getting ear infections very often and has been on antibiotics for a long time now)… ( So, now I've stopped giving him bottle but it's too late. He keeps crying for the bottle and is VERY VERY cranky. So cranky that I'm unable to get a hold of myself. He takes it out on me everywhere we go – in the car, in the shop, at home, everywhere. He keeps asking for things that he doesn't need and rolls on the floor crying. He's never been like that. He was a very good child and now, sudden transition is taking its toll on him.
I'm already worried about his ear infection and now, his loss of peace. Feeling helpless. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your brilliant article. If I ever have another kid, I will follow your footsteps.
Take care,
Vishnu's Mom

Review of: Ecollan, P, Collet JP, Boon G, et al: "Pre-hospital detection of acute myocardial infarction with ultra-rapid human fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) immunoassay." International Journal of Cardiology. In Press. Nov 9, 2006.
The Science
Throughout Europe, prehospital care is provided by emergency medicine physicians, but there may be much to learn from how they approach the care of their patients. This study from Paris examined the potential value of various bedside, point of care (POC) and blood tests to detect cardiac enzymes in patients with chest pain. The study was designed specifically to compare a new POC test for Human Fatty Acid Binding Protein (H-FABP) with those that detect Troponin I and myoglobin.
What the authors discovered was that the test could with reasonable accuracy identify which patients with normal ECGs would go on to have an infarction. This test was even more likely to be positive in those patients with ST segment elevation than those that measured Troponin I or myoglobin because the H-FABP rises within 30 minutes of the onset of myocardial ischemia.
The Street
In the United States, we have only scraped the tip of the iceberg when it comes to aggressively identifying prehospital acute coronary syndromes. Most EMS services, including ALS, don't perform prehospital 12-leads, let alone bedside testing for cardiac enzymes. We simply give them some aspirin, nitro and a fast ride to the hospital.
But with today's proliferation of cardiac centers with rapid response cath labs, it is vital that we identify these patients as quickly as possible, so that resources can be mobilized to care for them. EMS may have options of which hospital to transport to, whether or not to call for an ALS intercept, or to have the receiving hospital arrange for air medical transport upon arrival.
For those services using 12-leads, the added value of POC cardiac enzyme testing can mean the difference in deciding where to transport the non-ST segment elevation MI patient.

Awning cleaning done the right way is what Awn-Guard is all about. We understand how important your entire store-front area presentation is. Plus, regular awning cleaning is the best way to preserve your property's awning investment.
Regular awning cleaning service should be considered if…
1. Your property's appearance is important to you.
Professional Awning Cleaning will…
- Clean out deeply embedded soil, grime, mold and pollution
- Help bring back and retain original color with the use of optical brighteners
- Leave your awning areas rinsed and free from residual dirt – fresh storefront
2. You want to protect your awning investment
Professional Awning Cleaning will…
- Help control existing mold, mildew and fungus growth on awning fabric while helping prevent new growth
- Extend the life of awning fabric by removing dirt which, when embedded can weaken fabric
- Protect against harmful UV damage, bird droppings and pollution
Why Clean Your Awnings?
Awning Maintenance Pitfalls to Avoid…
Top three causes of premature awning wear.
- Use of pressure washer machine on awnings – Awning fabric is not designed to withstand high pressure water.
- Improper chemicals / detergents / degreasers / solvents – Only manufacturer recommended cleaning agents and protectants should be used.
- Lack of cleaning.
How Often should Awning Cleaning be preformed?
Most awning warranties require regular cleaning.
For high traffic or coastal locations monthly or every other month service is recommended. For most other locations quarterly service is adequate.
At Awn-Guard, we work hard to minimize our impact to normal business operations. We do this by scheduling work after hours for businesses and on weekdays for our apartment and HOA customers. We are always happy to customize your cleaning schedule.

Hi, I'm Laura.
I'm a multi-faceted design researcher with passions for creative learning environments, global development, participatory cultures, art and the open web.
Currently, I work at the International Rescue Committee (IRC)'s Research and Development lab, the Airbel Center. Our mission is to design and test life-changing, scalable solutions for people affected by crisis. I lead the Dandelion project, with the goal to create innovative learning and teaching experiences for increasing Social Emotional Learning skills. You can read more about our projects here.
Prior to joining the IRC, I led the Mozilla Foundation's research efforts where I conducted product design research, ran a multifaceted ethnographic study in 7 countries, and created and ran an experimental year long study of 200 first-time smartphone users in Kenya called the Digital Skills Observatory. In this role, I also was a community manager, curriculum designer, prototyper, fundraiser and avid glitter distributer.
I have also been involved in multiple One Laptop Per Child projects. I spent 3 years designing and implementing a learning program in Madagascar, as well as working in Haiti and Jamaica with an incredible community of smart and passionate people.
When I'm not running research projects, you will find me in New York or Paris, or enjoying the sea. You can find me on Twitter, Instagram, and GitHub.

Some people say California is one day going to break off and sink into the Pacific. In the literal sense, this is a myth. Figuratively speaking, however, it is an apt metaphor for the state's current situation.
The state is known for its high taxes and myriad regulations. Recently, that reputation got driven home even harder. A flurry of legislation affecting businesses enacts expensive new health benefits, imposes tougher regulations, and makes it easier for workers to sue companies.
The inevitable result? Businesses will flee the state even faster. Fewer businesses will want to move there. And entrepreneurs won't want to set up shop there.
California's economy is larger than that of most countries of the world. But California is only a state, not a country. That makes it unable to get away with what countries can get away with. When the latter enact far-reaching social welfare measures, businesses grumble, but stay put; it is exceedingly difficult to relocate to another country. But if a US state acts the same way, companies can move to another state with relative ease.
People and businesses vote with their feet they pack up and move out. Given this reality, taxes and regulations have to be treated more delicately at the state level than at the national level.
California's recently passed social welfare measures include paid family leave, and increased premiums for workers' compensation and unemployment insurance. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims has also been extended.
The state's business-unfriendliness is borne out in recent surveys conducted before most of these laws were passed. Of all the states in the union, California's business climate ranks dead last. This is according to a survey of 287 senior-level executives, conducted by Development Counsellors International. In the Small Business Survival Committee's 2002 index, California ranks a dismal 46 out of 50.
The Census Bureau evidently does not keep figures on the rate of business out-migration, but one can get an idea by looking at net out-migration figures of US-born people. More than 2 million left California during the 1990s, primarily resettling in neighboring states. Anecdotal evidence indicates that businesses left in droves in the early 1990s, then the pace tapered off. With the recent "job killer bills" (www.jobkillers.org) and shaky economy, the pace may likely pick up again.
Of course, that's just fine with some Californians who think profit is evil. As far as they're concerned, the fewer businesses in the state, the better. Other more moderate Californians understand the benefits of having businesses around, but think their state's quality of life will be enhanced by more generous social welfare benefits.
But what generally happens when businesses flee an area and/or fewer of them get established? The quality of life declines. There are fewer jobs and incomes decrease. The environment may suffer, as there is less money available to clean it up. The crime rate rises.
California won't go downhill overnight. The perverse effects of excessive taxation and regulation typically manifest themselves over years. And other things are keeping people and businesses in the state, e.g. a large market, good universities, beautiful landscapes, good weather, but more and more people are deciding such attractions just aren't worth it.
Other states should take heed from California's experience. It shows what happens when a US state transforms itself into a welfare state.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 What we focus on grows. If we focus on our troubles – they will grow.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 After my husband had moved out, I didn't know who I could trust.

A Greater Harvest
But in the seventh year, there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land. Leviticus 25:4 Genesis tells us, God created the heavens and earth in six days and on the seventh day, He rested.

Introducing The New Fall Bible Study Titled: Rest and Release
It had been a month since I had slept through the night without waking too early and letting my mind race. Due to emotional stress, I had lost about 15 pounds in 30 days and I struggled each morning to put one foot in front of the other. The shock of my husband moving out and my world turning completely upside down, did not change the fact that I had a full calendar. I had children to homeschool, meals to cook, and holidays to make special for the kids. I also had an on-line Bible Study to lead, as we […]Read More

Bar Sea to Sky Hiking Terms
Bar: A ridge of sand or gravel in shallow water built by waves and currents. Tsusiat Falls along the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island has an excellent example of a bar. An enormous and ever changing sand bar created from the waterfall meeting the Pacific Ocean. Often this bar is a dozen metres high and 400 metres long as it runs parallel to the ocean before flowing into it. Similar to a barrier beach, however a bar is more pliable and recent than a barrier beach, which tends to have long-term plant growth on it.
The ever-changing bar created by Tsusiat Falls on the West Coast Trail. Every spring reveals a radically changed bar at Tsusiat Falls. Winter storms batter the shore and obliterate the established bar from the previous year. Though following roughly the same route every year, the bar here can be shallow or deep, winding or straight as it makes its way to the ocean.
The West Coast Trail is incredible. Everything about it is amazing. From its wildly, incomprehensibly enormous trees to it's endless jaw dropping views. And it's tough. Very tough. It is a trail that shouldn't exist. Trails always form out of the easiest route worn down over the years. This trail was formed out of necessity. And the route is the only route. Hemmed in by steep cliffs on one side and the ocean on the other, the route evolved where it shouldn't have. Always wet, always up and down, thousands of creeks and canyons. Even with all the construction of suspension bridges and ladders it's brutal. And yearly, winter storms blast down impossibly enormous trees. It's difficulty can be measured by its relatively short distance of 75km yet it takes 4-7 days to complete. This is for two wonderful, spectacular and telling reasons. First it is a jigsaw of a trail, up and down over endless chasms tangled with rainforest.
It just takes a long time to snake through. The second reason is just too good to be true. It's so beautiful. Wildly beautiful. And this is a phenomenon that the West Coast Trail is alive with. It's unbelievably beautiful at every glance. Everywhere you look. This alone would secure this hike as one of the worlds best. But there is another thing that combined with its beauty, makes it what it is. West Coast Trail. This is a phenomenon that is seldom understood or explainable. It's tough. The trail is brutal. It's invariably raining. So you are always wet. This makes you soggy and crabby. Tired and exhausted. The treacherous trail in this wet is muddy, slippery and requires your full attention at every step. This mesmerizes you as you hike. You focus completely on your next step and your mind relaxes into a meditative state. This is when it happens. You look up, catch a glance of what's around you. And it's marvelous. This is it. The West Coast Trail is a perfect combination of brutal difficulty and spectacular wildness and beauty.
The West Coast Trail, originally called the Dominion Life Saving Trail was built out of necessity because of the enormous number of shipwrecks that gave this stretch of ocean from Tofino to Victoria the brutal name, The Graveyard of the Pacific. With at least 484 shipwrecks, this trail formed to facilitate survivors walking to Victoria and rescuers hiking to help them. It inevitably became a recreational hike in the last few decades. It's difficulty, once it's worst trait, now it's defining feature. It lies within the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve which represents and protects three beautiful, coastal lowland forests. Long Beach, the Broken Group Islands, and the West Coast Trail.
Glossary of Hiking Terms Squamish Hiking Trails
Bivouac or Bivy: a primitive campsite or simple, flat area where camping is possible. Often used to refer to a very primitive campsite comprised of natural materials found on site such as leaves and branches. Often used interchangeably with the word camp, however, bivouac implies a shorter, quicker and much more basic camp setup. For example, at the Taylor Meadows campground in Garibaldi Park, camping is the appropriately used term to describe sleeping there at night. If instead you plan to sleep on the summit of Black Tusk, bivouacking would be more accurately used. In the warm summer months around Whistler you will find people bivouacking under the stars with just a sleeping bag. The wonderful, wooden tent platforms at Wedgemount Lake are ideal for this.
Cairn: a pile of rocks used to indicate a route or a summit. The word cairn originates from the Scottish Gaelic word carn. A cairn can be either large and elaborate or as simple as a small pile of rocks. To be effective a cairn marking a trail has to just be noticeable and obviously man-made. In the alpine areas around Whistler, above the treeline, cairns are the main method of marking a route. In the spring and fall when snow covers alpine trails, cairns mark many routes. An inuksuk(aka inukshuk) is the name for a cairn used by peoples of the Arctic region of North America. Though an inuksuk can take many forms similar to a cairn, it is usually represented by large rocks formed into a human shape. The word inuksuk literally translates from two separate Inuit words, inuk "person" and suk "substitute". The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Whistler used the inuksuk for the logo of the games. Today you will find several giant rock inuksuks in Vancouver and Whistler at various places. In Whistler there is an impressive inuksuk, several metres high a the peak of Whistler Mountain.
Highpointing: the sport of hiking to as many high points(mountain peaks) as possible in a given area. For example, highpointing the lower 48 states in the United states. This was first achieved in 1936 by A.H. Marshall. In 1966 Vin Hoeman highpointed all 50 states. It is estimated that over 250 people have highpointed all of the US states. Highpointing is similar peakbagging, however peakbagging is the sport of climbing several peaks in a given area above a certain elevation. For example, a highpointer may climb the summit of Wedge Mountain, the highest peak in the Garibaldi Ranges, then move to another mountain range. Whereas a peakbagger may summit Wedge Mountain, then Black Tusk, Panorama Ridge, Mount Garibaldi and many more high summits in the region.
Hoary Marmot: the cute, invariably pudgy, twenty plus pound ground squirrels that have evolved to live quite happily in the hostile alpine areas of much of the world. In the northwest of North America, marmots have a distinct grey in their hair, a hoary colour, so have been named hoary marmots. They manage to survive quite happily in the alpine, largely by hibernating for 8 months of the year and largely for having a surprisingly varied array of food in such an inhospitable environment. They live off of grasses, berries, lichens, mosses, and roots and flowers. And live quite well it seems, as they always look chubby, which has one great drawback. They are sought after by bears and wolves. They have a wonderful defense system though. They are constantly on watch and whistle loudly at the first sign of danger, alerting the colony. The prevalence of these "whistlers" as they came to be locally called, in the early days of London Mountain resulted in it's name being changed to Whistler Mountain in the 60's. Hiking on Whistler, Blackcomb or Wedgemount Lake in the summer will almost guarantee an encounter with a chubby, jolly little whistler marmot.
Icefalls: a jumble of crisscross crevasses and large ice towers that are normally found where a glacier flows over a slope with a gradient change of 25 degrees or more.
Krummholz: low-stunted trees found in the alpine. From the German "twisted wood". Continuous exposure to hostile, alpine weather causes trees to form in bizarre and stunted ways. Many types of trees have formed into bizarre krummholz trees including spruce, mountain pine, balsam fir, subalpine fir, limber pine and lodgepole pine. The lodgepole pine is commonly found in the alpine regions around Whistler.
Longitudinal Crevasses: form parallel to the flow of a glacier. These are normally found where a glacier widens.
Nunatuk: a rock projection protruding through permanent ice or snow. Their distinct appearance in an otherwise barren landscape often makes them identifiable landmarks. Nunatuks are usually crumbling masses of angular rock as they are subject to severe freeze/thaw periods. There is a very prominent nunatuk near the glacier window of the Wedge Glacier. The glacier has been retreating in the past few years, so this massive nunatuk marks the terminus of the glacier now.
Old Man's Beard(Usnea): The lichen seen hanging from tree branches in much of British Columbia. It hangs from tree bark and tree branches looking like greenish-grey hair. A form of lichen, usnea can be found world-wide. There are currently over 85 known species of usnea.

Getting a passport for a baby isn't that much different than getting one for an adult and we recently did this for our son for a trip this summer. The only "tricky" part was the photo!
The first step is to get the photo. Here are the rules for the passport photo, in case you want to do it yourself – the photo must be in color on photo quality paper, sized 2″ x 2″ (51 x 51 mm). They want the size of the head to be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head and taken within the last six months. The background must be a solid white or off-white background, no colors. Your face must be facing directly forward, centered, with no smile, keep a neutral expression and both eyes open. Your clothes must be normal street clothes that you would wear on a daily basis, religious clothing is allowed but no uniforms. Do not wear a hat, or anything on or around your face if you can avoid it, unless it is religious in nature and worn every day. Here are some examples of good and bad photos.
I think the rules for babies is a little laxer because our photo fit almost all the rules except his mouth was open. He wasn't smiling but I'd imagine a neutral expression usually means a closed mouth. Since that wasn't explicitly listed as a no no, we submitted it anyway and the processor had no issue with it.
This is normally not an issue for adults, and older children, if they know the rules. Babies… well, babies don't care. 🙂
The next few steps are the same for a child, under the age of 16, as it is for an adult. It consists of filling out and submitting Form DS-11, the Application for a U.S. Passport, and additional information that identifies the child and the parent or guardian of that child.
Here's the full list of what you'll need:
- DS-11 Application, along with passport photos.
- Evidence of U.S. Citizenship for the child – You can use a previously issued Passport, certified birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or certificate of citizenship.
- Evidence of Relationship, between you and child – Certified birth certificate with both parents' names, Foreign birth certificate with both parents' names, adoption decree with adopting parents' names, court order that establishes custody or guardianship
- ID of parents – Passport, naturalization certificate, valid driver's license, government or military ID
- Photocopy of each parent/guardian ID to be presented – Photocopy on plain white 8.5 x 11″ paper with front and back of ID
We opted to go to our local library, instead of the post office, because they offer this service for a $25 fee (same as the post office) and we figured it was going to be a little faster. After fifteen minutes and $105 later ($25 processing fee, $80 passport fee), we were done. Passport will be here in 4-6 weeks.
Remember, passports for children expire every five years.

Traditional public schools and charter schools don't have the same rules when it comes to teacher certifications, but one new proposal would bring the two types of schools a little closer together.
State certification is required for 100 percent of professional staff at traditional public schools in Pennsylvania. Contrast that with charter and cyber charter schools, which are only required to have 75 percent of their teachers state-certified.
Forthcoming legislation from state Rep. Thomas Murt (R-Montgomery) would hike that level to 80 percent.
"I believe that requiring a higher percentage of charter and cyber charter school professional staff to hold state certification will help ensure that students attending such schools receive a quality education," Murt wrote in a memo to colleagues.
The state's major interest group supporting charters, the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools, declined to comment on the plan.
Some critics suggest that a 5 percent increase in certification levels wouldn't do much to elevate teaching standards at charters.
Pennsylvania's largest teachers union supports 100 percent certification of teachers at charters.
"They're public schools," said Wythe Keever, spokesman for the Pennsylvania State Education Association.
But other traditional schools advocates said the issue has been pushed to the back burner in lieu of more pressing items. Those ultimately have to do with charter school funding, and how the various streams affect budgets at traditional public schools.

Retail sales in September blew past analyst expectations and consumer sentiment for the current month surprised to the upside, according to two separate economic reports. But with previous stimulus having run its course, the outlook is uncertain unless Washington can reach an agreement on a fresh round of fiscal aid.
"This was a strong showing by the consumer," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York. "Even though we still have high unemployment, the consumer hasn't changed his spending habits yet."
On that front, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that President Donald Trump would "weigh in" with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell if an agreement is reached on a new pandemic relief package. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy, however, said he does not expect an agreement to be reached ahead of the Nov. 3 election as long as Pelosi is involved.

Lenovo Reaches for the clouds
As the cloud computing gold rush continues, more and more companies are trying to lay their claim. Like it or not, the future of computing is the cloud. Make no mistake -- whoever controls the cloud will control the web and computing overall. With that said, major computer manufacturer, Lenovo, has decided to get into the ring with its newly announced cloud platform named Reach. It will work on both Lenovo and non-Lenovo computers.
The company says that Reach "…allows users to access social networks, favorite applications, as well as help them find files, photos and other digital media across your online storage accounts, no matter where users put them".
While Lenovo commands respect in the business market (and to a lesser extent the consumer market), it is a surprise player in the cloud computing sector which is a business dominated by Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive and many others. There may not be room for Lenovo in this space, almost all of the pieces of pie have been claimed and eaten.
Lenovo is offering 5GB of storage -- enough for most users but not that competitive by current standards. By comparison, SkyDrive offers 7GB while Google supplies 15GB (shared between Gmail, Google+ and Google Drive). Dropbox starts at a very small 2GB but does offer promotions for users to increase the storage, such as referrals.
Lenovo claims that Reach will be available on all major operating systems. However, it later clarifies the availability to Windows (7 and 8), Android and iOS. Sadly, Lenovo does not seem to think of Linux or Mac OSX as major operating systems -- both are excluded. While this may be enough for most users, it is also not competitive. For example, Skydrive adds Mac OSX support and Dropbox adds support for both Mac OSX and Linux.
Also, while accessing the user's favorite applications sounds like an amazing feature, it appears to be nothing more than shortcuts to web-apps. While a welcome and appreciated addition, it is really nothing more than glorified bookmark-synching.
Lenovo Reach will be available in limited beta testing, in North America, on June 22. The service will launch globally, later in 2013. You can sign-up for the beta test at the sign-up site.
While the service is not yet live, the download links apparently are -- Windows and Android users can download the .exe or .apk files at the Reach support site.
Do you think there is room for Lenovo, or is the company arriving too late? Tell me in the comments.

While there are some bands that break up way before their time has come, several others outstay their welcome in the industry by years, if not decades.
Breaking up can actually help bands regain popularity and swing the momentum back in their favor. Here are 10 bands we'd like to see take a leave of absence, possibly permanently.
See also: 10 Accurate and Honest Breakup Songs
10. Aerosmith If you ever want to be impressed with how good Mick Jagger looks for his age, keep in mind that Steven Tyler is four years younger. Aerosmith as a whole could still be remembered as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, but in the present, they look like a bunch of elderly women who've spent too much time in tanning beds and still wear the clothes they used to go out in decades ago. Actually, that's pretty much exactly who they are at this point (except for the whole "women" thing).
9. Backstreet Boys With the birth of a new generation of boy bands, some of the groups from years past decided to get back together to tour again or put out new music. Sure, that generation of boy bands introduced the world to Justin Timberlake, and we should all be thankful for that, but some things are better left in the '90s. Of course, this doesn't apply strictly to the Backstreet Boys, it goes for all aging pop bands who ran out of money and decided to reunite "for the fans."
8. Nickelback Remember those two weeks when people actually liked Nickelback? Yeah, that was a weird time. You know what's even weirder? Nickelback is still making music and playing shows all over the world. Really though, we're not sure why Nickelback ever happened, and we're even less sure of why they're still around today.
7. Kid Rock Technically, Kid Rock is one of two performers on this list who isn't part of a band, but he's a pretty special circumstance. Had Kid Rock dropped out of the public eye immediately after releasing Devil Without a Cause, there's a good chance he'd be fondly remembered. Aside from leaving at the top of the rap-rock movement, he also never would've gotten in a fight at Waffle House or sampled Lynyrd Skynyrd and Warren Zevon on the same song. As a bonus, had he died around that time, he also could've been a member of the legendary 27 Club.
6. Bad Religion It's not uncommon for a punk band to lose their edge as they get older; it happens to the best of them. While Mike Ness has managed to keep Social Distortion relevant despite having to replace the rest of the band and only releasing two albums in over 18 years, Bad Religion has been gradually slowing down over the past decade. Bad Religion, we still think you're awesome, we just want to ignore the past decade of your existence.
5. Queen When your band centers around the dramatic vocal stylings of your iconic lead singer, it's probably best to move on to another project when the vocalist passes away. Imagine if Queen's last acts had been Wayne's World, the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, and the posthumous Made in Heaven album. Maybe have a holographic Freddy Mercury play with the band decades later at a huge music festival? Yeah, Queen might've been better off had the remaining members hung it up back in the day, but we think they should call it quits now rather than have another tour with an American Idol runner-up.
4. Soulja Boy Some people are better left as one-hit wonders, and Soulja Boy really would've been one of them. Although he hasn't released an album in years, and his biggest hit since "Crank That" was "Pretty Boy Swag" (yep, that happened), we wish Soulja Boy would just admit that he's already left his mark and retire in his mid-20s. Don't act like you didn't know the ridiculous dance from his one big song in 2007.
3. Green Day If you asked someone to compare Green Day and Blink-182 in late 2003 or early 2004, they would've told you how terrible Blink's self-titled album was and that Green Day was the best pop-punk trio on the planet. Less than a year later, Green Day released one of the most successful rock albums of all time and Blink broke up. The unrelated events caused the public's pop-punk preference to sway in Blink's favor, as their career was suddenly viewed through rose-colored lenses while Green Day became entirely too mainstream for the fan base that loved Dookie and Insomniac. Upon returning in 2009, Blink had more fans than ever before, and everyone forgot how much they hated their last album. Green Day could benefit from some of the same absence-induced love, and maybe to stop trying to sound so much like the Clash and/or the Beatles.
2. Pearl Jam Much like Green Day and Blink, Pearl Jam was generally regarded as a better band than Nirvana through the early '90s. Then Kurt Cobain died, Eddie Vedder turned 30, and Pearl Jam continued to make decreasingly edgy and impactful music for the next two decades. In the words of Cobain (and many others before him), it's better to burn out than to fade away.
1. U2 At one point, U2 was one of the biggest and most important rock bands on the face of the planet. These days, Apple has to make special instructions so people can take the free U2 album off of their iPhones after it was unwillingly shoved on to their hard drives. Combine that with a memorable South Park episode and the complete inability to count to four in Spanish, and U2 is a better joke than a band these days. If anyone should consider hanging up their instruments and unplugging their amps for fear of damaging their legacy, it's U2.

Investigating Business - Sainsbury's
Applied Business Studies
Unit 1: Investigating Business AO1
Task 1:Describe in detail the main aims and objectives of the business
Our Goal
At Sainsbury's we will deliver an ever improving quality shopping experience for our customers with great product at fair prices. We aim to exceed customer expectations for healthy, safe, fresh and tasty food making their lives easier everyday.
I will be investigating the factors that have contributed to the success of a business in terms of its main aims and objectives and the external environment factors that have affected the ability of the business to achieve its aims and objectives. I have chosen to look at J Sainsbury PLC to do this. I decided to use Sainsbury's, as it is a long well established respected company. There is a large amount of information, available, through books, the internet, the stores and media. I especially found them to be a very helpful and willing to assist me with my work.
Sainsbury's was founded in 1869 by John James and Mary Ann Sainsbury. They opened their first small dairy shop at 173 Drury Lane, London. Drury Lane was one of London's poorest areas and the Sainsbury's shop quickly became popular for offering high-quality products at low prices. It was so successful that further branches were opened in other market streets in Stepney, Islington and Kentish Town. By 1882 John James Sainsbury had four shops and had plans to expand his business further. He opened a depot in Kentish Town, north-west London, to supply this growing chain and, on the same site, built bacon kilns which produced the first Sainsbury brand product. It was also in 1882 that John James opened his first branch in the suburb of Croydon. This shop sold a wide range of 'high-class' provisions and was more elaborately decorated than the earlier shops. The late Victorian period brought competition from large national multiple retailers posed a threat to small chains like Sainsbury's. John James stepped up expansion so that he could buy goods at competitive prices. The number of branches trebled from 16 to 48 between 1890 and 1900 .
John James also opened a new depot at Blackfriars south-east London, which was close to the wholesale markets and the London docks. During the war there was staff shortages women were recruited to fill the jobs vacated by men. The interwar years, brought hardship, but this was a time of rapid expansion for Sainsbury's. Sites were acquired in London's expanding suburbs the company expanded into the Midlands in 1936 with the acquisition of the Thoroughgood chain and by 1939 there were 244 Sainsbury's shops. In 1950 Sainsbury's opened the first 'American style' store. The first self-service store proved very popular. Over the next three decades all Sainsbury's counter service stores were replaced by modern supermarkets. In the 1960's the scale of the company increased and it was necessary to decentralise the distribution system and establish a network of regional depots. Sainsbury's was amongst the first retailers to establish and develop increasingly sophisticated computerised stock control. By the 70's Sainsbury's had reached a size that warranted public status. The company's public floatation in 1973 was the largest ever floatation on the Stock Exchange, with a 45 fold over-subscription for shares. The 80's and early 90's saw the expansion of Sainsbury's into the north-east of England, Scotland, north Wales and Northern Ireland extended the company's trading areas to become national in scale Sainsbury's also established an early lead in the introduction of in-store technology like scanning, computerised stock control and sales-based ordering; techniques which brought it huge competitive advantage. By the end of Sainsbury's 125th year, the company had 355 stores.
Today Sainsbury's PLC is made up of Sainsbury's Supermarkets, convenience stores and internet...

It looks like you are dealing with some very dry conditions similar to the much of the rest of the country. I imagine we are both hoping for more moisture in this coming year.
Nuttygrass January 25, 2013 at 10:34 am #
Well the pictures look dry, but really we've had a pretty wet winter so far! The ground in that area drains really well. We are in a lucky area that wasn't effected by the drought at all this past year. Thanks for your comment, and hope you keep stopping by!!

The Best Color Comforter to Match Cherry Wood Finish
The best color comforter to match cherry wood finish is one that suits your taste and goes with the wood tone -- but other factors play a part. Create an attractive, well-designed, restful bedroom that hits each decor note.
Cool, Calm and Collected
Complement the warmth of cherry wood with a cool green comforter to make the wood's color stand out. Complementary colors, or colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel, play off each other. The more cool colors you use in a bedroom, the more calming and restful it becomes; consider using a slightly darker green for wall paint or an area rug.
Warming Up to Cherry Wood
If you would rather tone down the wood's reddish finish, do so with a bedding color that resembles it, such as raspberry red or Merlot, or go with something neutral such as gray or beige; the former provides richness while the latter has a cooler note that is visually soothing.

Learn how to get a domain name in 5 minutes. The following guide will walk you through the steps involved in picking a domain name, checking domain availability, getting a domain name and changing nameservers.
- What is a Domain Name
- How to Choose a Domain Name
- How to Check Domain Availability
- How to Get a Domain Name
- How to Change Nameservers
- Domain Name Parking
What is a domain name
A domain name or URL (Unique Resource Locator) is what users type in their Internet browser in order to find your website. There are currently more than 270 million unique domain names on the Internet.
1. How to Choose a Domain Name
How to pick a domain name? The best domain names meet the following criteria:
- Keyword relevant – there are purists out there who say that domain names do not matter in search rankings and Google indeed has limited the benefits of long exact match domains. However, I have observed that domain names still have some impact on your SERPs. You will notice that Google still bolds the relevant keywords in your domain in its search results. Learn how to do keyword research.
- Easy to remember – this is important as part of building your online authority and generating repeat visitors. Aim for a domain name that is no longer than 3 words and no longer than 7 syllables (for example, our domain financialfreedomblogger.com is exactly 3 words and 7 syllables)
- .com extension – you will notice that there are multiple possible extensions. More exotic ones such as .io or .info are usually cheaper. However, most users are lazy and only remember .com extensions. You will also notice that .com extensions may have a slight SEO benefit. So, may be slightly more expensive but definitely worthwhile to get a .com extension
2. How to Check Domain Availability
With the above criteria in mind, check if your domain is available using the tool below.
If it is, perfect, move on to step 3. If not, try different variations or adding a prefix or suffix.

3. How to Get a Domain Name
There are hundreds of domain registrars. What makes one better than others? You want to find a domain name registrar that is cheap, secure, has no hidden fees, provides free add-ons and has good support. I highly recommend NameSilo, because of the following benefits:
Free Lifetime WHOIS Privacy
With other domain registrars such as Godaddy or Bluehost, where you have to pay extra for add-ons such as WHOIS privacy and email forwarding, with Namesilo this is completely free for all times. This is important in protecting your online identity. According to ICANN, the online regulator of domain names, every registrar is required to maintain a database of the contact details associated with each domain. However, with domain privacy, instead of showing your personal contact details when someone does a Whois lookup on your domain, Namesilo will show generic contact information that protects your online identity
Other Free Add-Ons
Namesilo offers other free add-ons such as free email forwarding and domain defender protection
As the below comparison table shows, Namesilo is currently the cheapest domain registrar out there, with no hidden fees and many free add-ons:
Bulk Discount
Namesilo also offers a discount if you register domain names with them in bulk
Excellent Support
Namesilo's support is best in class and very responsive. Expect to get a reply to any of your queries in less than a day
Get a Domain Name with NameSilo Here
Namesilo vs Godaddy
Even if you already have a domain name, you can easily transfer your domains to Namesilo to enjoy the benefits upon renewal of your domain. That was what I did when I discovered Namesilo: I transferred all my domains from Godaddy to Namesilo. Namesilo even offers bulk discounts if you register multiple domains.
How to Change Nameservers
After you have registered your domain name, the final step is to point your domain name to your web host. This is also known as changing nameservers. A nameserver tells your browser which web host to go to when a user types in your domain in the browser. After you register your domain with your domain registrar, it is important to change nameservers so your domain will be served from your web host.
Here is how to do this in Namesilo:
1. Login to your Namesilo account
2. Go to your Domain Manager
Click 'Manage My Domains' on the top right of the webpage. This will take you to your domain manager
3. Change Nameservers
Check the domains you have registered, and click 'Change Nameservers'.
If you are using Bluehost, change the nameservers to ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com in order to have Bluehost serve your website:
4. Add the Domain to Your Bluehost Account
Next, you also need to add the domain to your Bluehost account. To do this, first log in to your Bluehost account, then click on 'Domain Manager':
5. Assign the Domain to Bluehost
Next, click 'Assign a domain to your cPanel account':
6. Enter your Domain Name
Type in your domain name, and leave all other options as the default filled in value. The easiest way to verify ownership is to first point the nameservers to Bluehost, which is what we have done above. Otherwise, you can use one of the other methods listed: set the DNS 'A' record, creating a dummy page, entering a EPP authorization code.
Once you click ok, you are all set!
Domain Name Parking
Domain Name Parking or Nameparking refers to the practice of registering domain names before you need them in case they may be taken up earlier. For example, some people even check if their newborn child's domain name is available before naming him or her. Generally, I do not think it is too important to namepark especially when you are just starting out with your lifestyle business, unless you are paranoid about protecting your online brand.
Hope you found the above tutorial on how to get a domain name in 5 minutes helpful. Once you have a domain name set up, learn How to Make a Blog in 5 minutes.

If you are a regular reader of the CGSL blog you already know that serendipitous finds are a regular occurrence around the society library. My blog reporter self is always on the lookout for another good story so I tend to keep my antennae up when I visit CGS and my camera is always in my bag.
So last Saturday I immediately investigated when I heard one of those laughs of delight and discovery. Our newest member was crouched in the stacks with an opened book in one hand and a small slip of paper in the other. Barbara Schenck Wilcox was part of the visiting DAR group from the Berkeley Hills-Oakland Chapter. After the meeting Barbara stopped by the desk to fill out an application and join CGS and had settled in to do a bit a research in some SMITH family books. The whoop I heard was her reaction to finding this:
The note is the size of a post-it but it predates those ubiquitous stickies since its author, Anna Tangier Smith, died in 1933. Miss Smith's hand-written correction reads:
The date of the birth of Col. William Smith of St. George's Manor is incorrect. It should be 1655 instead of 1652, the date of his birth given in his own handwriting in his journal still in the possession of his descendants.The note was slipped into the Wills of the Smith Families of New York and Long Island, 1664-1794: Careful Abstracts of All the Wills of the Names of Smith recorded in New York, Jamaica, and Hempstead, Prior to 1794: with Genealogical and Historical Notes by William S. Pelletreau. New York : F.P. Harper, 1898. xiii, 151 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. How this book found its way into the CGS Library is unknown but it is possible that it was donated by the note-writer.
- A. Tangier Smith
Anna Tangier Smith was Barbara's great-grand aunt, the sister of her great-grandmother. The note had been placed in the book more than seventy-five years ago, just waiting for another descendant of Col. William "Tangier" Smith to find it. Smith had once been mayor of Tangier, Morocco and many of his descendants carry the Tangier moniker. Because SMITH is such a common name, the family is often called "Tangier Smith" to distinguish it from the others.
Barbara knew that her great-grandmother's sister had been a member of the California Genealogical Society and she was looking forward to spending some time at the society library. She is very familiar with the research done by Anna Tangier Smith and with her handwriting. This is a sample Barbara had from another Smith history.
Barbara was pleased at another find in the library – a copy of The Tangier Smith Family: Descendants of Colonel William Smith of the Manor of St. George, Long Island, New York by Ruth Tangier Smith and Henry Bainbridge Hoff [New York]: Order of Colonial Lords of Manors in America, 1978 vi, 102 p., [1] leaf of plates : ill. ; 24 cm.
Barbara informed me that only 300 copies of the 1978 publication had been printed and it had taken her some time to track one down for purchase. She was very surprised to find one on the CGS library shelves.
