The only people really not allowed to mention the Holocaust
13 November 2012
Peta Deutschland v Germany (No. 43481/09) – read judgment
Referring to the concentration camps has become an offence on a par with holocaust denial, it seem, in certain contexts.
In 2004 the applicant animal welfare association planned to start an advertising campaign under the head "The Holocaust on your plate". The intended campaign, which had been carried out in a similar way in the United States of America, consisted of a number of posters, each of which bore a photograph of concentration camp inmates along with a picture of animals kept in mass stocks, accompanied by a short text. One of the posters showed a photograph of emaciated, naked concentration camp inmates alongside a photograph of starving cattle under the heading "walking skeletons". Other posters showed a photograph of piled up human dead bodies alongside a photograph of a pile of slaughtered pigs under the heading "final humiliation" and of rows of inmates lying on stock beds alongside rows of chicken in laying batteries under the heading "if animals are concerned, everybody becomes a Nazi". Another poster depicting a starving, naked male inmate alongside a starving cattle bore the title "The Holocaust on your plate" and the text "Between 1938 and 1945, 12 million human beings were killed in the Holocaust. As many animals are killed every hour in Europe for the purpose of human consumption".
Three individuals filed a request with the Berlin Regional Court to be granted an injunction ordering the applicant association to desist from publishing or from allowing the publication of seven specified posters via the internet, in a public exhibition or in any other form. They submitted that the intended campaign was offensive to them as survivors of the holocaust and violated their human dignity.

The Redskins have added a second fullback in advance of training camp, signing ex-Colts blocking back Stephen Campbell, the club said Tuesday.
This is the second NFL stint for the 23-year-old Campbell. He spent a little less than a month this spring with Indianapolis, which waived him in May.
A West Virginia Wesleyan product, Campbell (6-1, 245) did not play in the NFL in 2013 after his four-season collegiate stint (2009-2012). He signed with the Colts after participating in a pair of NFL combine workouts earlier this year.
In Washington, Campbell figures to get practice reps behind starting fullback Darrel Young.
Washington begins training camp on July 23 in Richmond, Virginia.

This post has been corrected. See below for details.
It seems like only yesterday — in fact, it was only yesterday — that I read that Roger Ebert was taking what he called, with typical verbal skill, "a leave of presence" to fight the cancer that had re-invaded his body. Today he is dead, and that collapsed time frame somehow seems only fitting.
For in the more than 10 years since he was diagnosed with cancer, Roger refused to give up as much as an inch to the disease that had ravaged his body but left his mind if anything more nimble and ready to rumble. That overused word, "courageous," fit him so well that I could only shake my head in wonder at what he was able to do.
Roger Ebert: A remembrance of film critic Roger Ebert in the April 5 Calendar section said that Ebert's father worked for the University of Chicago. He worked for the University of Illinois. —
No matter what physical depredations he faced, including the loss of a section of his jaw, the ability to chew food and even speak, Roger could not be kept away from pursuing film, the great love of his life. Last year, despite his continuing problems, he reviewed 306 films, the most of his career. Even days before he died, he was making plans for future film events because that was the only way he knew how to live.

Market Basket Board Meets Today; Govs. Trying to Broker Deal
Massachusetts and New Hampshire governors Deval Patrick and Maggie Hassan worked late on Sunday to broker a Market Basket deal between the warring Demoulas family factions. The move may help bring to a close the standoff between Arthur T. Demoulas and the company's board of directors led by his cousin and long-time rival Arthur S. Demoulas.
"The parties have made real progress on the terms of the sale and operating control of the company, and the governors are encouraged that a resolution may be within reach,'' Heather Nichols, a spokeswoman for Patrick, said in a statement.
The negotiations included the two feuding cousins at the center of the dispute, Arthur T. and Arthur S. Demoulas, as well as board chairman Keith Cowan, and Tina Albright, representing one of the shareholders, according to the statement. Neither Arthur S. nor Arthur T. offered a comment on the status of the negotiations.
Meanwhile, the company's board of directors is scheduled to meet Monday. The Boston Globe reported the meeting was happening in its story on the governors' involvement, and a Market Basket spokesperson told Boston.com that co-CEOs Felicia Thornton and James Gooch were in attendance. No further details about the meeting were immediately offered.
Shortly after 1 p.m. Monday, WGBH's Anne Mostue reported that a board member told her the meeting was over. He declined further comment.
Breaking: just found #MarketBasket board member J. Terence Carleton leaving Pru. Says "meeting is over" and refused further comment.— Anne Mostue (@AnneMostue) August 18, 2014
Carleton is one of the representatives on the board for Arthur T.'s side of the family.
Arthur T. and his side of the family, who own 49.5 percent of Market Basket, are trying to buy out the remaning shares of the company, which are owned by Arthur S.'s side. The negotiations have come against a backdrop featuring protesting workers and boycotting customers who decry the June 23 firing of Arthur T. as CEO. Tensions between workers and Market Basket's current board-appointed CEOs Felicia Thornton and James Gooch have heightened as negotiations between the two Demoulas sides have dragged on for weeks.
Patrick first dipped is pinky toe into the swamp that is the Market Basket standoff on August 8, saying he was available to try and help the two Arthurs reach a resolution. The following week, he dipped his big toe in, urging employees to return to work as negotiations continued. By working directly with the parties, the governor has effectively dived in to the gripping business dispute.
Patrick's hesitance to speak prior to August 8, as well as his urging of employees to return to their posts without their demand—Arthur T. back in charge—already met, has touched off criticism among protesters. They especially note that his wife, Diane Patrick, works for a law firm that works with the independent members of the Market Basket board of directors, who are said to side with Arthur S. Patrick has said those ties would not play a role in how he approached the dispute.
Hassan first voiced support for Market Basket employees, and urged the company's leadership to listen to their concerns, on July 21, three days after many Market Basket warehouse and office workers walked off the job.
Both sides of the Demoulas family have indicated the price of a deal is not at issue, but that terms by which to finance it have slowed negotiations.

Sentimental Sunday - The Simple Act of Kindness
One of those people that have hung on asked me the other day how I can be so kind when there's so much negativity around me. While it was a rhetorical question, I felt it really deserved an answer. It's pretty simple really: I live by the Golden Rule. Mind you, I'm an incredibly flawed human, but I have never wavered in sharing kindness. As much as I believe in the Golden Rule, I believe that what you put out to the Universe comes back to you three-fold. This I learned from my paternal grandmother. She may have been a lot of things, but she was very aware that her actions would one day turn on her. So it is that we may seemingly sit back while people in our lives try to tear us down; we do so knowing that their own actions will come back to them. We are not passive; we realize there is a time to take action, however the Universe seems to be teaching us the art of knowing when that time to act is, and how to act that is appropriate to each situation. So, the world around seems to epitomize the tarot's Tower: a tearing down and rebuilding of the most extreme sort.
What I have taken for granted is the fact that being kind is natural for me. It's my instinct. But not everyone has that instinct. I find it really manifests itself in my work as an Archivist. When I receive requests from people for genealogical information, I understand where that person is coming from. I know what it feels like to request information and then have to wait months not knowing whether or not you're going to get anything of value. And, what's more, knowing that the person on the other end might not understand what that 'value' is.
So it was in the beginning of June when I received a request from someone regarding information from the little rural Archives where I used to work. Technically, I'm off the payroll, but as a professional courtesy I told them I would handle reference and research requests as they received them (I'm compensated). The request was an open one: do you have information on Mr. X? I searched the database and found a single folder that have some form of correspondence in it. I drove up to the Archives and pulled the folder: in it was a letter detailing the family business, discussing family members, etc. I grabbed the eight or so names and located other material as well as a half dozen photos from the 1880s of the family members. It's a small collection, and all told it probably took me 15 minutes to pull the material, another 15 to scan it all. I put together a quick email and sent it off. It wasn't 10 minutes before I received the gleeful response: a million thanks for photos of never-before-seen-or-known relatives!! How did I know to look for the others?!! I was the greatest thing since sliced bread!! LOL. I get it. To me it was a simple thing; to the person on the other end, it was a whole new world.
The Universe is a beautifully balanced place. As I've said, I'm very flawed. I've made mistakes small and Everest sized. So I'm aware that these things will return to me. But so will the kindnesses I extend to others. Here's my proof: on June 11, shortly after my Archives researcher received her information, I received a brief email from a woman in the Netherlands. She'd been researching a surname that is similar to one on my tree: WICART. She'd noticed I was mentioned in a blog on Dutch surnames, made the connection and emailed me information and a link to a website: this page has an image that names my ancestor Andres Wersel. We emailed back and forth several more times that day, with my final email asking what repositories I might be able to search to find out more. Then I heard nothing.
Until June 28th. I won't include all the details here; I'll save that for a genealogy specific post. What I will say is that rather than sending me the requested repository names, she included research she did on MY Wersel line at several Archives in the Netherlands. For no reason. It was a simple act of kindness. She included digital images of documents taking me back several generations into the early 18th century. And, as I'm to understand it, she found living descendants of my 4th great grandmother Louisa Jacoba Wicart (Wiekart) in the Netherlands.
At a time when I'm struggling to understand human nature and how some people can be so incredibly nefarious and hateful, this person was the Universe's answer. There is balance. And kindness. I pray that your Scale doesn't tip as far to the extreme as mine does, but if does, remember there is Balance.

Laura, I am a firm believer in paying it forward, and I do believe that acts of kindness, no matter how small, have a ripple effect. Eventually, those ripples are reflected back to us, usually when we least expect it. I'm glad to see one of those ripples made its way back to you. :)ReplyDelete

Beautiful reflection, I hope your feeling better soon. Thanks for reminding us that we are not alone on this journey and how we engage with not only our family and friends but strangers who enter our life can indeed be rich and rewarding.ReplyDeleteReplies
Lynn, thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment; I genuinely appreciate it. It's those moments with strangers that I sometimes think are most impactful: letting the guy with only two items go ahead of you and the cartload of stuff you have at the store, complimenting someone with a great smile or rockin' pair of shoes, cleaning off the unkempt graves around those you go to visit weekly, paying the small check of an elderly couple out having breakfast w/o letting them know just b/c it's within your means and meaningful to YOU. We have no idea how these small acts can change someone's life, just as people who perform these small acts for us have no idea how they can change ours.Delete

Thank you!! It's great to have so many people reading and commenting. I know it takes time, so I value that. Hopefully there'll be lots more posts to come. :-)Delete
I'm way behind on my reading, but so glad I read this one. (I guess similar luck is why I'm way behind on my reading). What fantastic news -- and all of us are dependent on others who will go that extra mile for us. Glad to hear you don't have lupus.ReplyDelete

Icon issues when saving, remastering.
I have modified my dpup_485 with some new icon themes and their matching pixmaps, and after making my desktop look nice and saving all on closing my live-cd, the icons were as usual all over the place after next bootup, and the deleted ones also popped up again. I was careful to read some threads here in the forum beforehand, so I thought everything should be OK, but no.
I made a search in my dpup for 'globicons', and came up with quite a lot of them, they are in both /root/.config and /root/Choises, and also both places in /initrd/pup_ro1 and /initrd/pup_ro2, and they are all different in size and order! I list only some here:
root/Choices/ROX-Filer/globicons: 141 lines
/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons: 141 lines, but not in the same order as the one above, grew to 150 lines after saving and rebooting! Brilliant!
/initrd/pup_ro1/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons: 231 lines
/initrd/pup_ro2/root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons: 183 lines
So, which ones can be edited or deleted? According to the ROX manual, the use of /root/Choises is the old path, and the new correct path should be /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons.
Are any one of them supposed to be updated automatically, like PuppyPin?
I saw mentioned in an earlier thread that 'globicons' in /root/Choises and /root/.config were hardlinked, but that cannot be the case here, as they are different. Are there differences between the puppies, what is correct?
Regarding /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin, it updates automatically when an icon is added or removed, also see old thread
, on how to prevent deleted icons (like 'save') to pop up again after reboot, by editing /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit. Hardcoding a position for the 'save' icon on the desktop is not very smart...
There are also PuppyPin files in /opt/PinBoard/, I guess they have something to do with going back to a normal desktop after using 'wbar', the problem is they contain all those files that were deleted from the other PuppyPin file in /root/Choises. How come?
What happens after a change of screen reolution, will remastering or saving with a new resolution make the icons go bananas again, and which files are read after bootup?
I have run the commands 'fixmenus' and 'fixPuppyPin' after my changes, and after that a USB-stick would not show on the desktop when i connected it, but that situation corrected itself after reboot, are there other commands that should be used?
This is a theme that come up now and then, are there other trix and tips that should be observed when modifying the icons? I would be happy if an expert could enlighten me/us on the subject of icon handling.

Hi saintless, no, unfortunately not, not much help in that thread.
I have remastered all my puppies several times each, so I am familiar with the process, but I have
not once
succeded in making a puppy that had all it's icons in the right place at first bootup.
I know how to mask the symptoms, what I need to do is to make a cure. What I am really asking about, is an understanding of the processes behind 'globicons'. The different puppy versions were made by members of this forum, so I would guess that at least one of them should know how the icons work when using JWM and ROX! Or at least be able to steer me in the right direction...

It has been quite some time since i remasterd puppy with the built in remaster tool but some where along the process it should pause and ask you if you want to make some manual changes? Te file structure for the remasterd ISO will be in your /tmp directory - if i recall your /root and /etc directories are not copied into the new ISO i think this is so you don't end up having personal files and information in an ISO you might share with others. If you are just wanting the new ISO for personal use then copy over the /root and /etc directories to the new ISO file tree in /tmp
Regarding desktop icons - they are controlled by the file /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin if you don't copy this file over to the new ISO during the remaster it will just use the default puppy /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin file.
Also worth checking in the remasterd ISO file tree the directory /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps to see if it is using the icon them you want as these are the icons that will be used on the desktop etc, if not just copy the /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps directory from your running puppy.

Hi stu90, I have unsuccessfully edited the files when remastering, the last time I thought everything was fine, and I got all the new pixmaps with the new theme, but strewn all over the desktop!
I can illustrate the problem better by letting you view the result of 'find', as you'll see there are not many linked versions of these files, so the question is; why so many, and which of them are used in what processes?

Short answer:
These are the files that ROX-Filer prefers to read and update:
Long answer:
First of all, you can ignore all of the globicons and PuppyPin files that you see under the /initrd/ directory. ROX-Filer doesn't use that path. Those are layers of Puppy's layered filesystem. Although, as you have noticed, they are not linked with a conventional hard link or symbolic link, some are indeed connected to the globicons and PuppyPin files that you see listed in other directories while others are hidden by higher layers.
For instance, consider these three files from your attached image:
The bottom file came from the puppy .sfs file on the .iso image.
The middle file came from your save file and hides the lower file.
The top file contains a recent change and hides both of the lower files.
You will note that the top file matches /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons, because it is in fact the same file.
(For an overview of Puppy's layered filesystem, see
How Puppy works
and search for "Architecture Overview".)
Now for the other files . . .
As you have discovered,
was the location of globicons in early versions of ROX-Filer, but has been replaced by /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons. However, for backwards compatibility, if ROX-Filer cannot find globicons at the new location, it will look at the old location and load data from that file. When it updates the file it will write it to the new location.
Some (perhaps all?) Puppies do not come with a file at the new location, only the old. (This is the case for Racy 5.2.2, which I am currently running.) Once the icons are updated, which happens when Puppy adds the icons for the disk drives, the new information is saved at the new location. The same is true when a user makes manual changes. The file at the old location remains untouched.
Why not just use the new location? I don't know. Perhaps it is useful to keep a pristine copy of the original file without the drive icons. More likely this is simply unchanged from the days when Puppy used earlier versions of ROX-Filer. It works, and as the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Note that when there are files at both the old and new locations, the file at the new location is used.
I don't know what uses
is a temporary file used by rc.sysinit to add a "save" icon to PuppyPin for saving session to DVD or flash drive. You can ignore it.
I don't know what uses the various
, and
files. Your guess that "they have something to do with going back to a normal desktop after using 'wbar'" is sounds like a good guess.

Thank you, npierce.
I have read through some scripts (for example rc.d/rc.sysinit), and discovered that the /tmp-files are used to ensure that icons and a save-button are available when booted from a flash-drive. I cannot really see the reason for hard-coding a position, unless it was intended for 640x480 screen resolution...
Those lines are commented out now.
What still confuses me is why the files are different, had the globicons files been connected to a specific icon theme or setup, it would be a logical explanation. Well, as it is, I will try to syncronize the files' content (apart fron those in initrd, of course), and see if they change during the remastering/first boot process. As I wrote, the fact that one globicon file grew after bootup made me really wonder; WTF!

The /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/globicons file that comes with Puppies I have used doesn't have icons for disk drives, since the drives will vary from PC to PC. Those icons are added to the pinboard after booting, and saved in the /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons file.
Since each rule adds three lines to the file, a PC with three drives will cause nine lines to be added to the file. 141 + 9 = 150.

Yes. Be aware that the "lock" icon is special. It will always be moved to the right edge of the screen by fixPuppyPin. And any icons which have the exact same X coordinate as "lock" will also be moved to the right edge of the screen. (By default, in the Puppies I have used, these are the "zip" and "trash" icons. But, of course, if you have moved other icons into the same column as the "lock" icon, those icons will be the ones that are moved.)
(By the way, it looks like it is fixPuppyPin that creates the temporary /tmp/PuppyPin file. That file can also be ignored.)

npierce, I followed your advice and revisited the link to the Puppy layered filesystem, it has been a long time since last time I read it. If I understand correctly, the last session's icons are supposed to be stored in layer 1 or 2 (don't remember - doesn't matter which one), and they are also copied to and from respective /tmp in the initrd files as part of some internal processes. In theory it sounds great, but I think there are some glitches, because I cannot see any changes to the files between sessions. I run a live-dvd, so it's easy to power off if somthing happens to my setup. I copied the globicons from .config to Choises, and I suddenly got a lot of new identical inodes, they also changed in the /initrd/pup_rw directory, which - according to the text in your link - is a copy of the current root directory. I made a screeshot of the changes, but silly me lost it when I rebooted. After reboot the old-old backgroundpicture and some of the icons appeared, some were only orange triangles - a big mess.
What you say about the save, trash and zip icons is very interesting, so I took a peek at the /usr/sbin/fixPuppyPin script. It says it originally was a workaround for dual monitors, I really don't see why that script exists when you have a single monitor setup, like most of us do, so I think I'll just delete the script.
#find out current right side in PuppyPin...
RIGHTX=`grep 'Xlock' $PUPPYPIN | cut -f 2 -d '"'` #'Geany fix
#all icons on right side of screen will be relocated to correct right side...
NEWRIGHTX=`expr $SCREENX - 32
My biggest problem is that the save icon often places itself almost in the middle of the screen. I have now placed a save icon just above the time/calendar in the lower righthand corner, and it seems to stay put now. I commented out some 20 lines of code in the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file, at about lineno 525 at section 'Desktop Stuff', and I simply removed the lock and trash icons from the desktop, and saved. In theory, if I do some more saves without touching anything that has to do with icons, before remastering, the globicons should be identical after two saves. Booting after remastering will be very interesting!
I must say that this is a theme that is difficult to grasp. Are there also different procedures that is followed, depending on what kind of media one saves to, or if it is a full installation, a frugal or a live?
It's a pity so many applications/scripts in the /sbin directories cannot be read, but I think I'll sit down and try to grasp as much as I can.
BTW, I didn't like the 'Fun' section in the menu, so I simply deleted the line referring to it in the /etc/xdg/templates file. I ran 'fixmenus' and restarted JWM, and the 'Fun' menu section was gone.

It seems that you have misunderstood the comment. That comment merely indicated that a workaround had been added to the script in 2008 to correct a problem that the script previously had with dual monitors.
The script exists because we don't all have the same screen widths. The PuppyPin file allows for placing icons relative to the left edge. Since Puppy also wants to place some icons along the right edge, it needs to first find the screen width and then do a little arithmetic to determine what value to put in the PuppyPin file for those icons. This is why we have fixPuppyPin.
It also is needed if a user later changes the screen resolution.
If you never intend to run your Puppy on different hardware, nor change your screen resolution, then you could live without the script. But if you are remastering to create a Puppy for sharing with others, the script is needed.
Of course, if a user doesn't care to have any icons along the right edge of the screen, the script is also unnecessary.
To avoid possible side-effects and and error messages, I would not be too hasty about deleting the script, unless you want to look through all of Puppy's other scripts and recode any that call fixPuppyPin. It should not be necessary to remove the script: since you have removed the "lock" icon, fixPuppyPin will no longer move any icons.

I am not aware of any. As long as the configuration files are properly written to your save file (if not a full install), I wouldn't think that the installation type or media type would be an issue. I could certainly be wrong.
Are you having trouble with other configuration changes being lost when you reboot, or is it just the icons on the pinboard?
I am not familiar with wbar, and have neither of the /var/opt/Pinboard/ or /opt/Pinboard/ directories that you have, so I have no idea how wbar might be affecting your pinboard. Sorry not to be able to be more helpful, but my Puppy may be so different from your Puppy that I may not be able to provide any useful help.
It is good to hear that you have at least had success in getting the "save" icon to stay where you want it. Hopefully you will soon achieve success with the others.
Good luck.

Thank you again, npierce.
Yes, I misunderstood! I can see the point in having the file there after your excellent explanation, and no, I decided against deleting it, I just commented it out. I am not addicted to icons on the right side. I am usually running a dpup-484 and 485, as live-CD/DVD only. They came with wbar, but I have never used it, way too fancy for me!

Aaah, that is one of the problems with remastering, those deleted icons keep coming back to haunt you, and they don't always bother to keep to the right side either!
I have probably made too many alterations to these puppies, so I guess I'll start planning some new, fresh builds instead. Without any icons on the right side...
Hmm, maybe a console puppy?

Successful Weight Loss and Fitness Strategies for the Genealogist
You know what that means. The holidays and the parties did a number on you. The fit-em-all pants don't fit anymore. The TV is already blaring with ads for weight loss centers and exercise equipment. These ads guarantee you will drop 20 pounds in 20 days.
But did you know that there is a weight loss and fitness plan that is geared strictly for genealogists? Follow these simple strategies and you'll be well on your way to a healthy and fitter new you!
Trim the Fat from your family tree - Do you collect ancestors or do you collect family history stories? When you discuss your genealogy with others do you brag about the number of people in your database or do you share an interesting story? It might be time to stop following the leads on the ex-husbands of your third great aunt Tillie's fourth cousin and get back to working on your direct line ancestors and their immediate families. Ignore some of those green leaves that keep popping up on Ancestry.com. Researching those distant kin can sometimes help tear down those brick walls, but are you pursuing a family line that has no relevance to your personal history? Narrow your focus and find the stories about the people who are most relevant in your lineage.
Exercise! Exercise! Exercise! Get moving! Cemeteries are all around you and it's easy for your pedometer to click off 6,000 - 7,000 steps in an afternoon. Although you might become a bit distracted if you have your camera along and decide to start photographing tombstones. In that case, you might need to do a little weeding around the graves, removing old leaves and branches out of the picture. You can burn about 250 calories per hour of gardening. In other words, three hours of cemetery cleanup will burn off that Big Mac you had for lunch.
Tone Those Muscles - Keeping muscles toned via weight training is essential for everyone, especially those of us who are females and over a certain (ahem!) age. You don't need to visit the gym. You don't need to buy any expensive equipment. You can even do it in your local library! Just find two comparable sized 876 page county history books, put one in each hand and lift! lift! lift! Up! Up! Up! Work it! Work it! Can you feel the burn in your upper arms? If you're lucky, your research facility has multi floors, so forget the elevator and take the stairs as frequently as possible.
Blog - If you don't already have a blog, it's time to start. One minute of writing burns about one calorie. That's even fewer calories than you can burn while sleeping. So - to burn off one pound of fat, you only have to blog for about 58 hours! Piece of cake!
The Buddy System - You don't think you can handle this alone? Get a buddy to help you! Just think of all of the valuable research time you can miss out on by hanging out with your buddies on Facebook or Twitter. Not only that, you'll be helping them with their research goals, too!
Metabolism - everyone's metabolism is different, we all have a different genetic makeup. So make 2011 the year that you have some DNA testing done for your genealogy. After all, everyone knows that once you have your DNA tested and you get in the massive database, you'll receive all of these family trees and family group sheets in the mail - you won't have to spend any more time in the musty basements of those old courthouses!
There you have it! A sure fire plan for weight loss and fitness success in 2011! Happy New Year!

LOL - great tips, Susan! Maybe this is a weight-loss strategy I can really stick to!ReplyDelete
*chuckle* Great theme and maybe a New Year's resolution I might actually keep :)ReplyDelete
So good. This article belongs in a genealogy magazine. You are so creative, I love it. But, I blog and eat cake at the same time, so I'll never burn calories.ReplyDelete
You're not kidding about burning calories by lifting those books - cleaning up my office today must have burned off at least a couple of pieces of fudge ....ReplyDelete
I love this! Finally a weight loss program that sounds interesting :-) I had to laugh about the "ex-husbands of your third great aunt Tillie's fourth cousin" I SO do things like that - I really need to FOCUS in 2011.ReplyDelete
Wouldn't that be great if DNA would solve all of our brick walls and help us lose weight at the same time?!! Great (and funny) tips, loved this post!ReplyDelete
What about spending a few hours living out the types of things your ancestors did. Cut out the T.V. dinners and fast food, appliances, and cars. Cook, walk, and make things by hand.ReplyDelete

Why did Facebook buy Instagram? Experts say it may be all about location, location, location… data.
Snap a digital photo, and the file typically includes embedded information on where and when it was taken. Facebook says Instagram will remain a standalone app separate from the social networking site, but the acquisition could make it easier for marketers, advertisers and the apps and companies one "likes" to access that kind of photo information, says Deborah Mitchell, executive director for the Center of Brand and Product Management at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Marketers could be presented with whole new world of data, she says – almost "like when Dorothy goes from Kansas to Oz. They're getting a much richer picture of you and what you're interested in." Facebook, meanwhile, gets a bigger foothold on phones via the Instagram app, which could allow it to gain more access to the data on your device, says Michael Fertik, chief executive and founder of Reputation.com. Like other personal information, that could be worth anywhere from $50 to $5,000 to marketers, he says. (Facebook declined to comment. "Given quiet period restrictions, we cannot provide any comment," said a spokeswoman.)

Experts said photographs on Facebook could be among the more valuable data on that scale. "That's the holy grail," says Scott Steinberg, chief executive of business consulting firm TechSavvy. "It tells them exactly where you are, and what activities you're interested in." Marketers can analyze the photo content itself for basic details like presence of children or pets as well as specifics like friends you tagged and what keywords you included in the caption, he says. That tells them what ads to send your way, improving the chances that you'll click through. So, post a slew of candids of the baby and ads could start popping up for diapers. Repeatedly tag yourself in vacation photos, and airline credit card pitches may come your way.
Consumers may be able to control some of the information shared — personal data can often be removed from image files, and privacy settings on Facebook and Instagram can keep some images less visable. But users should consider anything they post potential marketing fodder, says Steinber. "It's not always apparent just what data is being collected," he says. "At the end of the day, you have to realize that on social networking sites, there's someone looking over your shoulder at any given time."

2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon - Pre Owned
The 2004 to 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, along with its sister, the GMC Canyon, represents one complete generation of this compact pickup truck. For buyers who need their pickup to perform only the occasional light task, the Colorado/Canyon might work well enough. That's faint praise, but justifiably so, as the following will reveal.
Coming into the world by virtue of a joint effort between General Motors in North America and Brazil, plus input from Isuzu, the Coloranyon is available in regular, extended, and crew cab versions. The first two have beds that are 6 feet long; the crew has a 5-foot bed. Trim levels, in ascending order of plushness, started out as Work, LS, and LT. LT versions received a face-lift in 2007, while the LS retained the old look. LS morphed into VL for the 2009 model year and disappeared for 2010. Another minor tweak took place in 2009, bringing the option of a 5.3-liter V-8 endowed with 300 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque.
The Canyolorado originally came with a 2.8-liter four-cylinder making 175 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque or a 3.5-liter inline-five developing 220 hp and 225 lb-ft. Once the 2007 face-lift kicked in, these were superseded by a 2.9-liter four-cylinder with 185 hp and 190 lb-ft and a 3.7-liter inline-five with 242 hp and 242 lb-ft. The entry-level four-potter was linked to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. The larger engines got the auto transmission, er, automatically. Most examples will probably have the manual.
Drive is sent to the rear wheels or all four. The latter's setup includes a low/high transfer case that complements the Z71 off-road package. Other options include the Z85 heavy-duty package and the ZQ8 street pack with lowered, stiffened suspension, plus 18-inch wheels. The Colorado/Canyon twins are not considered the best in their class. That accolade goes to the Toyota Tacoma, with the Nissan Frontier getting an honorable mention.
Even if this first-gen ColoCan was a major contender initially, it was never improved significantly to better face the competition. Low-rent interiors, low levels of refinement, and so-so towing capability result in a merely average reputation. But that could be a good thing if you're looking to buy, since competitors demand higher prices. Compare a 2008 Chevrolet Colorado LS with the 2.9-liter fourcylinder engine, rear drive, 6-foot bed, and auto transmission in good condition valued at $8711 with a 2008 Ford Ranger XLT regular cab (rear drive, 6-foot bed, 3.0-liter V-6, auto, good condition) fetching $10,707. A comparable 2008 Toyota Tacoma is Blue Booked at $10,633.
Recalls issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration focus on child restraints and exterior lighting for the early years -- then wheels (2007); fuel system (2009); locks, latches, and linkages (2010/2011); powertrains with the 2.9 and 3.7 engines, wipers, suspension (2011); and seatbelts (2012). Checking various owner forums brings a depressing amount of issues that touch on many different areas: chip-prone paintwork, a quarter-full gas gauge that suddenly reads empty when reverse gear is engaged, electrical glitches, braking system problems, engine and drivetrain hiccups, squeaky leaf springs, lopsided beds, wiper woes, plus various other rattles and whines.
Potential buyers must be extra-extra careful when checking out a possible purchase. Go over it from bumper to bumper, check for uneven tire wear, play in the steering, rough idling, evidence of head gaskets failing. Don't take anything for granted.

If you stopped by one of the first practices for the Chestnut Hill College men's soccer team last week, you might have come away with the impression that the school was planning to field both a varsity and a full junior varsity team.
The Griffins suffered few graduation losses from their 2010 squad, and have added no fewer than 14 incoming freshman recruits. Penn Charter alum Keith Cappo is back for his second season as CHC's head coach, and his staff now includes Jonathan Rhodes, who has coached club soccer with the Penn Fusion and coached women's soccer at Gwynedd Mercy College, as well as serving as a soccer academy instructor in England. The second assistant coach is Alex Culp, who finished up his playing career at Moravian College two years ago and was an assistant coach at Roman Catholic High School last fall.
"Both of them have really helped our recruiting," Cappo pointed out. "We were able to go out and see a lot of kids and get them interested in Chestnut Hill. They met with us and saw the school. They liked the small class sizes and liked the location, and then the soccer just enhanced that.
"I believe that every one of the freshmen will have an impact on the program, to help us in our training or to step in and play for us in games pretty quickly," the coach continued.
The new crop of Griffins features a number of Delaware Valley players, including several from the northern division of the Philadelphia Catholic League. Others have come from as far away as Florida and California. Cappo said he is currently talking to high school prospects from Louisiana and Colorado, and explained "We'll always be looking for strong players from this area, but to really bring up the program we want to broaden the search, as well."
Back for the Griffins are three of the top five goal scorers from 2010: senior Gavin Reid, junior Darryl Richardson, and sophomore Bobby Stocklin. Junior goalie Mike Goldstein recorded five shutouts in 2010, and finished second in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference in total saves (107).
Reid, originally from Scotland, is a team quad-captain along with Goldstein, senior defender Chris Moore, and sophomore midfielder Chris Wilson.
"We brought in some very good attacking players, and we have a lot of experienced guys in the midfield." Cappo said. "I think we'll be pretty versatile. We should be able to defend patiently and look for opportunities to attack."
The coach hopes that those qualities will help CHC, a relatively recent arrival in NCAA Division II, forge into winning territory this fall. The Griffins were just under .500 last season, winding up 5-6 in the CACC and 9-10 overall. Chestnut Hill was ranked seventh in the pre-season poll for the conference, where one of the top teams, New Jersey's Bloomfield College, has already received votes in the national NCAA Division II poll.
Among CHC's non-conference opponents are Pennsylvania schools such as West Chester, Bloomsburg, California/PA, and Pitt-Johnstown. The Griffins will also take on Mercy College and St. Thomas Aquinas of the East Coast Conference.

Sounds like a great combination of flavors! Did it get soggy in the middle, though? I used to have that issue, and learned a great trick at work. If you pre-bake the puff pastry between two sheet trays, it will be crisp instead of soggy, and the sheet tray on top will keep it from puffing up too much. I was so excited when I figured that out!
(Also, for some reason your post is cutting off the right side of the sentences, at least for me??)

Acclaimed Minnesota writer and community activist Kao Kalia Yang, member of the Carleton Class of 2003, will present Carleton College's weekly convocation on Friday, May 2 from 10:50 to 11:50 a.m. in the Skinner Memorial Chapel. Yang's appearance is free and open to the public. Convocations are also streamed live and can be viewed online at go.carleton.edu/convo/.
Although now a Minnesotan, Yang's remarkable story stretches across the globe. The daughter of Hmong immigrants to Minnesota, Yang was born in a Thai refugee camp, Ban Vinai, in 1980. Her family came to Minnesota when she was seven. In her book, The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir, Yang recounts her family's journey from Laos to Minnesota – from her parents' first encounter and unceremonious marriage in the jungles of Laos, to their harrowing escape into Thailand, and subsequent relocation to Minnesota. In The Latehomecomer, Yang struggles to feel a sense of home – new to Minnesota, and cultural heir to centuries of homelessness.
Published in 2008 (the same year she was awarded the Spirit of Carleton College Award), The Latehomecomer is Yang's first book. It is also the first memoir written by a Hmong-American to be published with national distribution. In 2009 The Latehomecomer received two Minnesota Book Awards—for memoir/creative nonfiction and the Reader's Choice Award. It was the first book to ever win two awards, and continues to be the best-selling title in Coffee House Press history.
A community activist and entrepreneur, Yang co-founded Words Wanted, one of the first professional Hmong writing services in the United States.
Yang received a BA from Carleton College in American studies, women's and gender studies, and cross-cultural studies. She received her MFA in creative nonfiction writing from Columbia University in New York City.
For more information about this event, including disability accommodations, contact the Carleton College Office of College Relations at (507) 222-4308. The Skinner Memorial Chapel is located on First Street between College and Winona Streets in Northfield.

Hyundai Tournament of Champions | Five players to watch
Series: Golf Buzz
Published: Thursday, January 02, 2014 | 11:20 a.m.
The field for the 2014 Hyundai Tournament of Champions at Kapalua's Plantation Course in Maui features 30 PGA Tour winners from 2013.
Here are the five you'll want to watch:
SCORES: Follow the Tournament of Champions all week with PGA.com's leaderboard
5. Zach Johnson
Best finish in 2013: Won the BMW Championship
Reason to watch: First of all, Johnson is one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour (just four missed cuts in 24 starts a year ago). Secondly, do you remember how he ended 2013? With an incredible hole-out on the final hole of the Northwestern Mutual World Challenge -- an unofficial event -- that eventually earned the past Masters champ in a playoff with Tiger Woods. Johnson took Tiger down in the playoff. We can't think of a more positive way to end a calendar year. Johnson must be thrilled to get 2014 under way.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE: An insider's look at Kapalua's Plantation Course | Review the Plantation Course
4. Jordan Speith
Best finish in 2013: Won the John Deere Classic
Reason to watch: If 2013 is any indication, Speith is going to be an electric player to watch for years to come. To think -- when the 2013 Tournament of Champions was being contested last January, Speith had no status on the PGA Tour. He relied on sponsor exemptions, parlayed them into top finishes, won an event to snag a two-year Tour exemption, was a captain's pick for the winning U.S. Presidents Cup team and earned PGA Tour Rookie of the Year honors. And he's only 20 years old.
3. Adam Scott
Best finish in 2013: Won the Masters and The Barclays
Reason to watch: It's hard to imagine that 2014 could be a better year than 2013 was for Scott. He became the first Aussie to ever win the Masters and proved himself to be a regular contender in all the majors. Add to that three victories in his homeland at the end of the year -- the Aussie Masters, Aussie PGA and the World Cup (alongside Jason Day) -- and a narrow defeat to Rory McIlroy in the Aussie Open. Scott has been on fire. He has also announced that he'll be taking six weeks off after the Hawaii swing on the PGA Tour, which means he'll miss the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. Expect him to play great to go out on a high note before the break and certain major preparations.
2. Matt Kuchar
Best finish in 2013: Won the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and the Memorial Tournament
Reason to watch: Like Zach Johnson, Kuchar never makes any big mistakes. His name is just always hovering around the top of leaderboards throughout the season (15 top-25 finishes in 23 2013 starts). There's never one particular time of year when he's "hot" -- he's always consistent. Here's a look at Kuchar's last three finishes in the Hyundai Tournament of Champions: 3rd/2010; T6/2011; T9/2013. About the only thing left to do for Kuchar at Kapalua is win.
1. Dustin Johnson
Best finish in 2013: Won the Hyundai Tournament of Champions
Reason to watch: Johnson is the defending champ in Maui. And, he also won the WGC-HSBC Champions in Asia in November -- which counts toward the 2014 season. Let's face it, he's got some of the most raw talent on Tour. The only thing that seems to stop Johnson these days are injuries. If he stays healthy, 2014 could be a huge year for DJ. He'll feel extremely comfortable at the Plantation Course.
Update: Yeah, about DJ and the whole staying healthy thing -- since this story published Thursday morning, word out of Maui is Johnson has withdrawn from today's Pro-Am with a stiff neck. We'll see if that keeps him out of the field once the tournament begins Friday when he's scheduled to tee off with Adam Scott at 12:50 p.m., local time.

Newark, N.J. – There are passes. And then there are passes.
Anybody with two eyes could see that the Kings, who had smoked Vancouver, St. Louis and Phoenix to get to their first Stanley Cup Final in 19 years, weren't getting any freebies in Game 1 against the New Jersey Devils.

At least not until Justin Williams blindly wheeled during the overtime and didn't actually spot Anze Kopitar breaking through the middle as much as he "felt" him — and the Kings had a 2-1 victory.
"Their D (Marek Zidlicky) kind of came down the wall on Dustin (Brown), and Drew (Doughty) was able to get the puck up the boards," Williams said. "The other D (Bryce Salvador) was coming over to me.
"I felt Anze was there so I threw an area pass and hoped he was alone. I've played with him a long time. But if he wasn't there, it would have gone to nobody. It was a no-lose situation."
Kopitar, well in the clear of Dainius Zubrus, dragged his feet to stay onside, put Marty Brodeur on his belly and coolly slipped a backhander under the goalie's splayed pads 8:13 into overtime.
Thus did the Western Conference champion Kings, outplayed through the final 30 minutes and overtime, remain in a no-lose situation on the road with an NHL record ninth consecutive away postseason victory.
They turned the Prudential Center silent a few seconds too late for Williams to hear Kopitar yelling for the puck while the Kings bench screamed advice to Williams, too.
"Don't know if he heard me or not," Kopitar saqid. "He chipped it obviously perfect, right on my tape.
"A chance to finish it off in OT, you know, to face a world class goaltender like Marty, it's definitely a good feeling."
The Kings have not had bad feelings of any consequence since March. Wednesday night the ice was chippy and the teams a little rusty, portending a carom-shot to ultimately send somebody home unhappy. Instead, Doughty, Williams and Kopitar combined on a thing of beauty that gave the Kings a working lead in the series.
Not only will they next have to check their stick curvatures, as Marty McSorley failed to do in the haunting, series-turning Game 2 in Montreal in 1993, but need to play better than this to win the franchise's first Stanley Cup. But the Kings already shown capable of the discipline this series will require.
"You know, they don't give up a whole lot," said Kopitar. "You have to be careful going through the neutral zone, that you don't make any turnovers, because they got some speedy forwards, some forwards obviously that can finish.
"You have to await turnovers and just make sure you make strong plays."
The Devils outhit the Kings, 44-35, and blocked 15 shots to the the Kings' 8, Eastern Conference-style playoff hockey. But after the Devils matched Colin Fraser's first period goal off superior backboards work by Jordan Nolan with an Anton Volchenkov rebound off Quick's pads that went in off Slava Voynov, there were not a great number of superior chances.
Brodeur stacked the pads on Drew Doughty after a drop pass by Mike Richards up the slot. Mark Fayne missed a wide open net on a rebound after Jonathan Quick made a big stop on Peter Harrold. But the Devils were more the aggressors until it backfired on them, Zidlicky caught in no-man's land on that fateful pinch.
"Yeah, we made a little bit of a bad read," said Coach Pete DeBoer. "There were a couple decisions there.
"But we're playing to win the game, I don't make any apologies for that. You know, we made a mistake; they capitalized."
Like a team on a roll. In the end, it really didn't matter that Williams didn't see Kopitar. A team 11-2 in the playoffs can't see itself losing.
