alt: The title states they are "Negro" Seventies Soulchild ... he is also listed in th Free Negro Owners of Slaves in the U.S. in 1830 ... w/ 4 slaves & 14 others in the household.
Seventies Soulchild: It must be him, the 4 slaves must be the 2nd wife Charity & their children at that time. The rest of the people could be the others who were manumitted along with him.
alt: I would think the 4 slaves are other than his 'family' Seventies Soulchild
Seventies Soulchild: I do know that he had to buy his 2nd wife and their children.I was making my statement based on that info. I will have to look more into it.
alt: if you have Ancestry.com there should be a breakout by gender & age of those in his household in the 1830 & later census records.
Seventies Soulchild: oh okay.
3rdthawkins: hello Ingrid, how are you hanging??
AYWalton: howdy Ingrid. how are things down in DC?

deannie: I think I heard that they have a suspect......but I'm not sure.....
Seventies Soulchild: What is going on in Chicago? There are shootings daily. Some of my people are trying to get out of the city. I also heard that the city was doing away with the low income housing and sending those people out to the suburbs and putting the tax burden on those people.
Ingrid_Doweary: That's all I heard. He was married to one of my cousins. 70s, Bailey was one of the 3 or 4 police officers slain in Chicago last year.
Seventies Soulchild: ok... I was being word lazy...so I don't want anyone to get the misconception that I have something against the people who are low income

3rdthawkins: Ingrid, you do any mor searches on google for books about D.C, found quite a few
Seventies Soulchild: I saw earlier that the LOC website is down for 'maintenance'.
alt: Seventies Soulchild, any idea of how your Tom Smith became an FPOC in AL prior to 1830? and did his family stay in the South?
Seventies Soulchild: He was manumitted by his owner Baxter Smith in 1829 upon his death. The 14 people in his household may be the others who were manumitted along with him. His descendants did stay in the south until my father's generation. Some are still there.
Ingrid_Doweary: I haven't recentlhy because I been reading some official Civil War Documents about some of the USCTs.
alt: okay.. an dif he was between 36 & 55 in 1830 this means he was born in the late 1700's, right?
Seventies Soulchild: Yes late 1700's. I do also know that he probably came with Baxter Smith from Georgia.
alt: laters 3rdthawkins
Seventies Soulchild: bye 3rd
alt: Wow!! that could be some kind of a story Seventies Soulchild
Seventies Soulchild: Yes it does sound so interesting. My cousin Margaret has done much of the work, but she does ask me for docs and photos. And she also shares a lot with me.

With the introduction of the 1999 Odyssey, Honda built a world-class, stylish, performance-oriented minivan capable of uncompromising utility with class leading performance inside and out. The Odyssey became, and continues to be, the minivan standard.
Current industry accolades include:
- J.D. Power & Associates "Appeal Award in the Minivan Class"
- IntelliChoice's "Best Overall Value of the Year (Minivan under $24,500)"
- Automobile Magazine "All-Star Award: Best Minivan"
- Car and Driver Magazine "Best Van"
- Money Magazine "Best in Class"
- Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) "Best Minivan" Residual Value Award
- Automundo "Minivan del Ano"
Due to go on sale in late August 2001, the new 2002 Odyssey moves the standard even higher with more class-leading levels of performance, safety and luxury while maintaining the value that Honda customers expect.
For 2002, the Odyssey comes equipped with a class-busting standard 240 horsepower engine (an increase of 30 horsepower), a standard 5-speed automatic transmission (upgraded from a 4-speed), and new standard dual-stage driver's and front passenger's front airbags and standard side airbags . In addition, the new Odyssey sports a retuned and improved suspension and numerous enhancements to the interior including improved seating areas with available leather seats, an available entertainment system with the first factory-installed DVD player in a minivan, plus a host of new convenience features.
The popularity of the Odyssey has led to the need for increased production capacity. A new manufacturing facility capable of eventually producing 120,000 units per year will open in Lincoln, Alabama, in November. Overall, a large portion of the Odyssey's appeal comes from it being the best value in the minivan segment. With the enhanced levels of refinement and safety in the new 2002 Odyssey, another leap forward has been made to the acknowledged minivan benchmark.
New Features Summary for 2002 model
- Class leading 240 Horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 (regular unleaded fuel)
- Standard 5-speed automatic transmission
- Standard front and side air bags
- First minivan with available factory-installed DVD entertainment system
- Standard four wheel disc brakes (rear disc brakes added)
- Improved Noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) dampening
- Improved ride with same sedan-like handling
- Available leather trimmed interior (EX)
- Enhanced interior utility
- Freshened exterior styling
- New Colors (Redrock Pearl, Evergreen Pearl, Havasu Blue Pearl)
2002 Honda Odyssey Drivetrain
The Odyssey's 3.5-liter SOHC V-6 now produces 240-horsepower and 242-lb.-ft. of torque on regular unleaded fuel (an increase from 210 horsepower and 229-lb.-ft. of torque for the 2001 model on premium fuel). This increase results in quicker acceleration and improved drivability. The increased power is achieved with improved high-flow intake and exhaust components, a new 6-piece intake manifold, larger bore throttle body (55mm to 64mm), a 3-rocker VTEC system (previously 2-rocker VTEC system), increased diameter intake and exhaust valves and a 10.0:1 compression ratio (previously 9.4:1).
The 3-rocker VTEC system expands horsepower and torque capability by adding increased throttle response at low engine speeds and top-end power at higher engine speeds. Horsepower peaks at 5,500 RPM and torque peaks at 4,500 RPM. Even with the power increases, the 2002 Odyssey is projected to maintain its best-in-class overall fuel economy as well as its 50-state LEV emissions rating. Regular unleaded fuel meets the octane requirements for the engine's increased horsepower and compression ratio (10.0:1) thanks to a highly sensitive engine knock sensor that prevents pre-detonation in the cylinder chambers.
In another first for a minivan, the Odyssey's new 5-speed automatic transmission (upgraded from a 4-speed) combines smooth and quick gear changes with wider ratios for an excellent combination of sportiness and fuel economy. Aided by a sophisticated 16-bit, 20 Mhz transaxle CPU, an active lock-up torque converter, a low friction lubrication system, an efficient one-way clutch and Honda's Grade Logic Control system, the new transmission delivers the highest possible levels of performance, fuel economy and shift quality in an automatic transmission. Additionally, the creative use of the transmission's third gear also acts as the idle gear to provide five forward speeds at about the same weight and size as a typical four speed.
2002 Honda Odyssey Chassis
Honda engineers set three primary goals when developing the original Odyssey chassis: First they wanted it to perform like a car with superior ride, handling, maneuverability and braking. Second, to achieve car-like comfort, the design had to have low levels of NVH (noise vibration harshness). Finally, Honda engineers wanted to design and package the Odyssey's chassis components to take up a minimum of space and allow for the maximum amount of room for passengers and cargo.
In keeping with the goal of providing car-like comfort, the engineers revisited the suspension tuning to provide enhanced performance and comfort. The 2002 Odyssey's suspension tuning allows for an improved, more accommodating ride on choppy surfaces without sacrificing any of the Odyssey's high levels of handling performance on smooth and twisty surfaces. To summarize the changes:
- The front stabilizer bar diameter has been slightly decreased
- The spring rates have been increased
- The damping force of the shock absorbers has been optimized for the new suspension characteristics
The net effect of these three changes results in reduced harshness over bumps with the same responsive sedan-like handling.
2002 Honda Odyssey Safety Equipment
Having already earned top safety ratings with its quadruple five-star front- and side-impact crash test ratings, the 2002 Odyssey now offers the latest generation of airbag systems from Honda. Driver's and front passenger's dual stage airbags (SRS) along with driver's and front passenger's side airbags are now standard equipment on all models - yet another minivan first.
Both front airbags have a dual-stage inflator that can deploy the airbag at one of two rates depending on the severity of the crash.
The front passenger's side airbag has an automatic cutoff system that is designed to prevent side airbag deployment if a child (or small statured adult) leans into the side airbag deployment path. Once the child returns to an upright position, the side airbag will be able to deploy and provide protection in the event of a side impact.
Building on the standard anti-lock braking system (ABS), new standard rear disc brakes result in improved stopping performance with higher resistance to brake fade and a more responsive brake pedal feel. Amber rear turn signals have been added, which help other drivers differentiate the indicators with increased clarity.
2002 Honda Odyssey Interior
Headlining the long list of improvements for the Odyssey's interior is the availability of leather seating and an all-new Honda DVD entertainment system. Luxurious leather seating and interior trim is available on all EX models and provides an upscale feel and appearance. In addition, leather front seats are electronically heated for maximum comfort.
The Honda DVD entertainment system, the first factory-installed integrated DVD system for a minivan, features an all-new crystal clear 7-inch widescreen LCD display (for optimum visibility) that flips down from the ceiling at the push of a button for rear seat passengers. The extended capabilities of the DVD player allow for either DVD, CD, radio, cassette tapes and auxiliary inputs (such as video games, VCRs or cameras) to be played in the rear seating areas while the front passengers can listen to a different audio source.
The DVD player can be conveniently controlled from three locations - the front audio system controls, the rear seat controls near the LCD screen, or a wireless remote control. Additional audio and video input jacks allow for a wide variety of additional equipment - ranging from camcorders to VCRs to game consoles - to be attached to the system. The system comes complete with two infrared (IR) wireless headphones as standard equipment.
The integration of DVD, radio, CD, cassette and auxiliary controls are designed for ease-of-use and functionality. Audio sound quality has been improved on all models and radio configurations with larger 16cm rear speakers that create more bass and better overall sound quality.
Numerous interior enhancements make the 2002 Odyssey even more functional, comfortable and enjoyable. The column gear shifter has been revised for greater ease of use and the new steering wheel offers increased comfort with a slightly thicker design. The revised horn controls can be used while keeping both hands on the perimeter of the steering wheel thanks to extended horn sensor pad positioning.
Front seats now offer more deep bolstered support and the EX model driver's seat has lumbar support. New fabric patterns are used on all models. Expanding Odyssey's numerous storage bins and pockets, the 2002 model adds second row grab rails mounted near the sides of the roof that provide built in hooks for clothing hangers.
Large cup holders now flank the sides of the second row seats (which can still be slid together bench-style. Cargo space behind the third row seats has been enhanced with the creative use of eight bag hooks behind the seat cushion and a hammock-style cargo net. As you can see, Honda has created the ultimate family room on wheels.
2002 Honda Odyssey Exterior
While a majority of the enhancements to the all-new 2002 Odyssey focus on performance, safety equipment and interior functionality, the exterior received a few subtle modifications as well. The front-end now features a more aggressive new grille with two horizontal slats and a more prominent H-mark.
The new 16-inch multi-spoke wheels sport a fresh design, as do the optional aluminum alloy wheels (standard on EX models). The taillight design now features amber-colored turn signals for a fresh look and improved visibility. Bright new colors available for 2002 are Redrock Pearl, Evergreen Pearl and Havasu Blue Pearl.

Man, even Superbowl 40 didn't feel this bad. I hate the anxiety......
The Cardinals will lose. I think what will be the biggest factor is ironically the Steeler offense. Willie will run enough to keep the Cards honest and Ben will have a big game and redeem himself in Super Bowl play. Kurt and company will have their moments, but in the end, the Steeler defense will get just enough pressure and force a crucial turnover or two. Look for the Steelers to come out looking for the kill so they can erase all hope for the Cards, if Pittsburgh jumps on them early:LIGHTS OUT! Everyone talks about the Whiz having something to prove, what about Mike Tomlin? Every team that he lost to last year, that he had the chance to play again this year has been defeated. Guess who's next on that list? HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!!!!
i feel deeply honored. i have been sent to the time out box on a cardinals fan site on justin tv four times now what an absolute honor. i am speechless and humbly accept the award lol.:
who ever their fn mod is, he, they , or it can't take a fn joke.
And their fans.
I'm holding off heading to the bar in Philly...but I may have to go soon.
"When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself."

I'm tired of all the freakin' waitin' now..... let's get this game rollin'!!!!
Love the graphic Capt' !!!
That's the coolest McBeam (if he can be cool) I've seen yet!

Green Pinwheels -- Yes or No?

I like the orange! Very orginal.
- March 14, 2010 at 9:20 PM
- greetingarts said...
I would definitely do the extra work and add the orange. Makes it pop! And I think the placement is just fine. Fun quilt!
- March 14, 2010 at 9:25 PM
- fieryone said...
I like it a lot but I'm curious to see how it might look with a yellow pinwheel, and a soft yellow border, more spring like colours :)
- March 14, 2010 at 9:28 PM
- LabMom said...
I personally like it without. It does remind me of those 'humble blocks' in amish quilts, intentionally put in to avoid perfection.
But I like the monochromaticy of it without.
- March 14, 2010 at 9:31 PM
- Heather K said...
The green is absolutely fabulous. I love the one orange pin wheel. Its perfect. What a great creation
- March 14, 2010 at 9:41 PM

- March 14, 2010 at 9:53 PM
I love the orange right where it is! Awesome idea!
- March 14, 2010 at 10:15 PM
- Nicki C K said...
YES YES YES---LOVE IT! Keep the orange it's great!
- March 14, 2010 at 11:26 PM
- Rose said...
For me personally I don't like it, only because I am obsessive compulsive about things having orderetc.. I find it distracting. I do like the quilt though, and again, it is only me who doesn't like teh orange lol, I am just wierd :)
- March 15, 2010 at 12:30 AM

I like it all green better! The orange is nice, but the green alone is just superb!
- March 15, 2010 at 6:29 AM
- Angela Nash said...
I love it too! And the orange pinwheel is wonderful!!!
- March 15, 2010 at 7:26 AM

I love the orange pinwheel but I think it should be down one row. I don't know why, but it feels off in the current location. I love that it pops out of all that green!

I love the orange pinwheel, but don't like the orange/red border.

I like the one orange pinwheel. It is quirky and fun.

That is cute and the orange is a great addition, little surprise in the large quilt. We are excited to see the finished product!

I like all green... ever thought of adding a pinwheel block border in stead of a solid green?

I like the monochromatic look personally. But like someone else mentioned, that's probably just my OCD nature. It would drive me crazy to see that one orange pinwheel. So I guess it just depends on your own personality!

I love it either way. I would personally do the all green, but I am a matchy matchy sort of person. Beautiful quilt.

- Melissa said...
I'm sorry. It looks like an old grandma - that was apparently going color blind - made it. I just don't see the appeal in adding an orange pinwheel. But I too am OCD and thus why the orange bothers me so much. hahaha Idk. You're the experienced quilter and you have to live with it, so you decide.

Love the orange pinwheel, just gives the design an extra "edge". But I agree with some of the other comments that I would either sash or bind it in a matching orange to bring it together.
I came across your blog while looking for images of car play mats for my daughter. I have duly clicked the button and I am now following you!

Trying to catch up on commenting ... ;-) Honestly can't decide whether I like it more with the orange or without. Guess they are both pretty in their own way.
What did you decide? Really curious ...

Stars in the shed: Rapunzel's makes listening easy
The Jan Smith Band and Brady Earnhart
at Rapunzel's Coffee & Books
Sunday, February 1
Saturday night was my second time ever at Rapunzel's Coffee & Books in Lovingston, and I have to say that I love that place. All varieties of caffeinated concoctions are available at reasonable prices, the cover's never more than $5 for a show, and loads of books are available to entertain you while you dawdle– amazing! Couches, chairs, and seating arrangements of all kind are set up on show nights, all facing the cozy, but not too small stage- and did I mention it's in a renovated packing shed?
Last Saturday was no exception to Rapunzel's usually stellar line-up: the Jan Smith Band put on an exceptional performance, with folk musician Brady Earnhart opening. After I perused the 1995 Guinness Book of World Records for a bit while sound checks were done, Brady Earnhart took the stage. I had never seen Earnhart before, though I was familiar with his work as the impetus for the King of my Living Room CD- the live recording by many of Charlottesville's finest singer/songwriters.
Tonight, Earnhart was just a man and a guitar, sitting a little back from Rapunzel's expensive looking mic. His songs were a mixture of finger-picked and strummed folk, with shades of Simon and Garfunkle at some points, mixed with a songwriting style that reminded me a little of Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler (which is a compliment). His lyrics made many of us in the audience laugh, in spite of his self-confessed specialization in "depressing songs."
The Jan Smith Band was next, with only a small break in between the two acts. Smith was joined on stage by Tom Proutt on lead (acoustic) guitar, Jeff Vogelgesang on mandolin, and Joey Damiano on upright bass. The group has a full, rootsy sound that seems designed for Rapunzel's easy-going atmosphere. All the band members are accomplished instrumentalists, and Smith's breathy, relaxed Natalie-Merchant-mixed-with-a-little-Joni-Mitchell vocals are just icing on the cake.
Most of the songs the group performed were off Smith's 2002 release, Tin Heart, and sounded as good as or better than the recorded versions. It might have something to do with Rapunzel's old-style one-mic stage setup, where all the performers gather round it in a semi-circle– it makes for a communal experience between band members at least, and if everything is balanced well, the technique can sound great for acoustic instruments.
Some highlights were the song "Your Moma Don't Care," a slab of down-home pop with harmony vocals provided by Proutt and Vogelgesang, and the soft acoustic-pop song that gets stuck in my head for days, "Ionesco's Chair," which featured a nice mandolin solo by Vogelgesang. The mandolin player also got loud cheers for his virtuosity on a mandolin heavy tune of his own.
Two great bands, a great place to see them, just a great evening overall. I gotta get back there, ASAP.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
So much for quoting old country songs. Taylor Swift's liner notes from her new album Red start with a quote from the late Chilean poet Pablo Neruda .
"There's an old poem by Neruda that I've always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says 'love is so short, forgetting is so long,'" Swift writes.
It's from his poem "Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines." Swift goes on to say that his thought is one she has related to in her saddest moments. And that her experiences in love have taught her difficult lessons, especially her experiences with "crazy love." That love — the red kind — is the kind she'd never take back. So, lesson learned.
As for the real love that shines and doesn't fade, Swift says that maybe she'll write a whole album about that kind of love if she ever finds it. But in the meantime, if Swift ever needs more sad song inspiration, she could just look at that Neruda poem again. With verses like "What does it matter that my love could not keep her, the night is shattered and she is not with me," and "Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer and these the last verses that I write for her," this poem's just a country song waiting to be written.

External walls are of a durable one-piece construction with high-performance, low-maintenance plastisol-coated galvanised steel cladding to offer protection against fire, extreme weather and accidental damage. Internally, the walls are of polyester-coated galvanised steel, providing an impact resistant, wipe-clean finish.
The floor has a rigid galvanised steel frame and an aluminium-zinc coated steel sheet underdrawing, which offers a sturdy and robust feel. The floor design also prevents infestation as the thermal insulation material is laid on top of the underdrawing. The suspended floor is completely integrated into the structure of the building. The design enables the building to be sited close to the ground for one-step easy access. The floor can be finished with a variety of floor coverings including hard-wearing vinyl, carpeting or chequerplate*, depending on the application of the building.
Outstanding insulation is provided by the construction of the roof. The roof deck is of one-piece construction and is impact resistant. It is covered with solar-reflective, profiled plastisol-coated galvanised steel to reduce heat gain. Internally, the ceiling is designed to prevent condensation problems. It is covered with the same polyester steel as the walls for a low-maintenance finish.
Doors and windows
Steel-faced doors have an insulating core that minimises heat loss. The anodised aluminium frame also incorporates draughtproof weather seals. Protection against theft and vandalism is given by a cylinder mortice lock, which has escape override on the inside. The fixed, top hung or sliding windows have distinctive radius cornered aluminium frames with a polyester paint finish. Tinted glazing – toughened on top hung windows – reduces solar glare and a thermal break prevents condensation problems.
Building layout
Pacemaker buildings can be linked to form larger complexes or stacked to form two- or three-storey buildings. A variety of room layouts can be achieved by the installation of partition walls, with a matching polyester steel finish.
Pacemaker buildings are quickly and easily sited. They may need pad foundations, depending on site conditions, the total weight of the building and the imposed loads - advice on foundation loads and positions will be given by Portakabin staff.
Structural integrity
Peace of mind is guaranteed by the high levels of all-round performance achieved by the Pacemaker building series. It has been independently assessed by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) and awarded a BBA certificate confirming that it meets relevant requirements of The Building Regulations (England and Wales), The Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations and other permanent building standards and codes of practice. In addition, Portakabin also offers a 5-year product and a 20-year structural warranty on all new Pacemaker buildings*. The Pacemaker building series has been designed and manufactured in the UK under a Quality Management System meeting the requirements of ISO 9001.
Design loads
Floor 3.00kN/m2 Roof 0.75kN/m2 Basic wind speed (To meet requirements of BS 6399: Part 2).
Thermal insulation
Walls, doors and roof are insulated with environmentally friendly CFC-free Envirofoam, a rigid polymer insulation material that is lightweight and yet enhances long-life structural strength and ensures an energy-efficient building.
Insulation values
Elemental U-values (W/m2K) Floor 0.35 Walls 0.45 Roof 0.34
Fire performance
Fire-engineered construction ensures safe fire performance. Non-combustible materials are used for all external cladding and internal lining of walls and ceilings, minimising the potential fire load. Walls, ceilings and floor underdrawing have Class O surfaces, roof decks have an FAA rating. The floor has half-hour fire resistance in multi-storey mode.
Climate control
A variety of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems can be provided to meet comfort requirements.
Transport and handling
Pacemaker buildings are transported by lorry and may be craned into position. All buildings have as standard provision for lifting at high level but can be provided with low level lifting as an option. Four leg chain slings must be used for high level lifting and four leg polyester slings must be used for the optional low level lifting. Low level lifting supports The Work at Height Regulations 2005 to avoid the increased safety risks associated with working at height and on roofs. Alternatively, the telescopic Lodastrut leg system enables single storey buildings to be positioned by one person using the optional jack. Portakabin staff will provide full advice on the procedure.

The question-and-answer site Quora is a big deal. It has some powerful supporters, with early content posted by a diverse group of digerati from Steve Case to Robert Scoble. It's the talk of the media (see Google Trend of the word Quora). There are weekly articles on how Quora will be bigger than Twitter.
So, I guess it was inevitable that I'd hate it. To clarify, it's not that I don't like Quora. It's that I hate it and want it wiped off the face of the earth. In a missionary effort to reach those few that are yet to form an opinion on this site equivalent of an Uwe Boll movie, I offer the following 3 reasons to resist boarding this bandwagon.
It's spam.
This site diabolically infects those with the largest spam potential. I guess when a site is launched by the former head of Facebook Connect, it's inevitable. By launching after Facebook established critical mass and Twitter became a big deal, Quora made a splash in the saturated question-and-answer site category. So, giving people the opportunity to be in the spotlight with their answer to an already-answered question is an ingenious way to drive audience and usage by appealing to ego. And I don't even mind ego-stroking. I just don't want to be repeatedly spammed across my various feeds as people whose content I otherwise love and trust fall victim to name-in-lights syndrome. Then again, if I could convince people I invented tape, it might be worth it….
There are dozens of Quoras about what Quora is.
OK, so maybe #Twitter was a trending topic on Twitter the first 6 months. But those conversations were focused primarily on usage and innovation with the platform. The Quora self-referential conversations are literally people scratching their heads looking for value. There's no better sign that the emperor has no clothes people. But until we admit it, we'll just keep tweeting how awesome he looks in that special toga (author's note: this has nothing to do with how awesome I think the hashtag #emperorsclothes would be, promise).
Quora is attempting to differentiate itself via answer quality.
This is defended through its use of Facebook Connect (real people!) and an interest graph (curated topics!). Here's the thing about quality: it's inversely related to scale on the web. Generally, users or an algorithm are required to remove the noise. Last I looked, countless services already do this. They go by ticker symbols like GOOG, have David Fincher movies made about them, or add a new user every second (most of whom request a professional recommendation after a single meeting together).
So, let's sit this Quora thing out. We were able to resist Google Wave and Ping. Let's make it three in a row that we tried and let pass quietly. This isn't to say I don't respect the effort or experimentation of any company trying something new (Google & Apple are incredible at innovation investment). In Quora's case, I just think if it ain't broke, don't fix it via my newsfeed.
Now world, if you're not on board, pretty please give me a heads-up that I'm taking on a lost cause.
Then I can start a new Quora-related Quora: "How can I get a job at Quora?"
{Update: I've agreed to write a follow-up post to either eat my words or discuss what I got right after some, ahem, encouragement from readers. So keep an eye out!}
{Update #2: We asked Leslie Barry to elaborate on his comment below and he's posted a rebuttal, explaining the unique value of Quora I've neglected in the post above.}

Finishing set for socket outlet with earth pin and safety shutter, flush-mounting depth 21 mm
Finishing set for a socket outlet with earth pin and safety shutter. Finishing colour: anthracite. This central plate must be used with a socket outlet with a flush-mounting depth of 21 mm. Finishing colour: anthracite.
Specification description
Finishing set for socket outlet with earth pin and safety shutter, flush-mounting depth 21 mm. The central plate is fixed to a flush-mounting socket outlet using a screw with a combination screwhead (Pz1 slot 1 x 5.5 mm). The back of the central plate is equipped with a safety shutter. This allows contact to be made after simultaneous introduction of the pins of a plug but prevents contact from being made if only 1 pin is introduced or if the two pins are not introduced simultaneously. This central plate is surrounded with a flat edge that is equipped at all 4 corners with a rectangular opening, each containing a multi-positional snap hook. The construction of the central plate ensures that the flush-surround plate can always be attached flat to the wall, even in cases of untidy plasterwork. This works in two directions: If the flush-mounting box sticks out of the plasterwork, the multi-positional snap hooks can compensate for a 1 to 1.2 mm margin; if the flush-mounting box is sunk too deeply in the plasterwork, the snap hooks can compensate for up to a 1.8 mm margin. The flat edge around the central plate also has 4 round openings that ensure the correct positioning of the flush surround plate in relation to the central plate. After mounting all components (flush surround plate, finishing set and switch), no metal parts are visible thanks to the flat edge of the central plate. To dismount simply unscrew the central plate.
- Protection degree: The combination of a switch, a central plate and a flush surround plate has a protection degree of IP41.
- Material central plate: The central plate is enamelled and made of rigid PC and ASA.
- Colour: enamelled anthracite
- Impact resistance: After mounting, an impact-resistance of IK06 is guaranteed.
- The plastic parts of the central plate are self-extinguishing (comply with a filament test of 650°C) and are halogen-free.
- Dimensions of finishing with flat edge: 56 x 56 mm (HxW)
Dimensions of visible area of finishing: 45 x 45 mm (HxW)

Skabelse af forestillinger i læge- og plejegrupperne angående relevans af nye idéer om kvalitetsudvikling gennem tolkningsprocesserAlbæk, Jens (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The aim of this dissertation is to identify how ideas of organisational development are incorporated into and employed in hospital departments. The dissertation focuses on the conceptions of professional identity among doctors and nurses, their conceptions of clinical practice and the ideas of development they are introduced to. The health professionals' conceptions of development and practice are connected to their perception of 'professional relevance' in the dissertation. This conception of 'professional relevance' thereby forms a recurring expression of conceptions among the actors. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7806

Aquarium Art necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
At AquariumArt we combine nature and technology to bring you Mother Nature's Masterpiece. With over 25 years of experience we have developed our own tried and true methods of keeping even the most difficult of reef aquariums. We specialize in standard and customs aquariums to fit any decor and life style. Our automated systems are nearly maintenance free, and we offer service programs that are designed to fit any budget.
AquariumArt is a 25 year old, Miami based company, seeking to expand our brand image. We have carved out an excellent niche with our company and have been very successful throughout our history. Up until this point in time word of mouth and referrals have been our main source of new clients. However we want to take the steps needed to create an image that supports the quality of work we offer.
People that are spending anywhere between $10,000 - $500,000 on a single aquarium, for their $1 - $15 Million Dollar homes. These are people that are not and have not been affected by the economy. Their driveways have 4+ cars in them etc. We currently have clients of all demographics and the business has a small "family" feel to it. We currently do service and maintain over 250 aquariums, most of which we built and installed. We pride ourselves on taking care of and providing the same excellent customer service to the "small time" tank owners as we do the larger contracts.
We are open to an image with either Aquarium Art (2 words) or AquariumArt as one word with emphasis on "Art" and the "artistic, classy" side of it.
Color Scheme / Font: Want some type of aquatic/ocean/water feel to it, leaning more towards classy.
We want an image that is simple in nature but in some minor way portrays the sophisticated, engineering side emphasizing our "Concept to Creation" mantra.
NO NEMO (Clown Fish)! It is far too stereotypical.
Once the main image is completed, we would like to take the theme you created and have an image made of the letters AQM. Just to have a smaller image that can represent our company on other various materials.

New Bern Civic Theatre enjoyed a strong 2013 season with a wide variety of shows that captures the attention of its multi-generational audience.
With Christmas nearing, it�s time to unveil the 2014 season � comedies, musical dramas and children�s shows among the offerings.
�The selection of the 2014 season is a process that takes many months of collaboration, research and planning,� said Angelina Doyle, NBCT executive director. �The selection of season shows for NBCT is a balance act.
�First we ask our patrons what they would like to see in the coming season. Once we get the ideas, our advisory committee runs the shows through a rigorous checklist.�
She said the checklist asks some pertinent questions.
�Do we have the talent to produce a show up to NBCT stellar standards? Selecting and lining up the right director and talent is crucial to a shows success,� she said.
The list includes whether the show has been done by Civic before and if so, how long ago. The committee ponders if the show will be well-received by the Civic audience.
Finally, the selection looks at a potential show and whether if falls within the Civic mission � to enrich lives; empower the audience, actors and volunteers; can it include everyone; can it educate and finally, whether it will entertain.
�After the right combination falls in place, we crunch the numbers to make sure the show is affordable and profitable,� she said. �There are several other criteria that answer these questions � Is it costume heavy? Are the sets manageable? Can we afford the royalties? Will it draw an audience?�
When the advisory committee deems the potential shows worthy � she presents the season line up to the NBCT board of directors for a final blessing.
Season tickets are on sale through Jan. 17.

4. J.P. Boudwin and Billy Bob Thompson in Improv at Bernie's
For the Del Close Marathon this year, the amazing Kaitlin Thompson came up with the brilliant concept of Improv at Bernie's in which a group of improvisers do a set with a dead cast member, played effortlessly by Billy Bob Thompson. In one of the scenes (I wish I could remember what it was about), J.P. gives Billy a nice long, loving, lustful raspberry right on his belly.

If you missed this, you missed life. Whatever stars aligned that day to bring this two together on stage, I am forever grateful because that was one of my favorite improv moments period. I think I described it as "my improv wet dream." Accurate.
Corin Wells is a member of the PHIT Improv House Team Hot Dish and Sketch House Team Dog Mountain. She also performs with the independent team Iron Lung and is one half of the duo Ebony and Ivory, hosts of 'Cagematch'.

Houston: Derek Jeter began the first game of his final season by getting plunked with a pitch. The Astros then beat up on CC Sabathia even worse, ensuring the captain's farewell tour would start with a Yankees' loss.
Jesus Guzman and L.J. Hoes homered off Sabathia to help the Houston Astros roll to a 6-2 win against New York on Tuesday night.
"Trying to get your first win, your first hit, your first run, anything is kind of difficult to do," Jeter said. "The first, sometimes, is tough to come by."
Jeter was hit on the left arm by Scott Feldman in his first at-bat and ended 1 for 3 with a single. The 13-time All-Star who helped New York to five World Series titles announced in February we would retire after his 20th season.
"I was a little extra anxious because I hadn't played in a while, but when I got hit, I think that actually helped," said Jeter, who missed most of last season with injuries.
The Astros added Dexter Fowler and Feldman to improve a team coming off three straight 100-loss seasons. On the first day, it worked.
Fowler had two doubles as Houston jumped on Sabathia for six runs in the first two innings. Feldman allowed two hits in 6 2-3 innings in his Houston debut after signing a three-year, $30 million contract
"This entire spring leading up to opening day we built that vibe up where these guys are confident, they're playing with a lot of energy, focus," manager Bo Porter said. "The attention to detail is outstanding. Everybody wants to get out to a good start."
Sabathia led the majors last season with 122 runs allowed and finished with a career-worst 4.78 ERA. Things went bad for him from the start on Monday night in a matchup of the league's youngest vs oldest rosters.
"It got out of hand early," Sabathia said. "I've got 34 — hopefully more — starts left. I'm definitely not going to pitch like I did tonight in the first two innings. I know I can pitch. I love to get guys out. I feel great, so no I'm not going to beat myself up over this."
Yankees' manager Joe Girardi tried not to make too much of the loss.
"Well, it's not what you want, but I had a feeling we were going to lose a game at some point this year," he said. "So, we got it out of the way early."
Fowler, traded from Colorado this offseason, hit a leadoff double and scored on a one-out single by Jose Altuve that rolled just out of reach of a diving Jeter and into the outfield. Altuve made it 2-0 when he scored on a fielder's choice by Jason Castro later in the inning.
Things got worse for Sabathia when Guzman launched the first pitch he saw with the Astros into left-center field for a two-run homer to push the lead to 4-0.
Hoes — making his opening day debut — opened the second inning with a home run to left field. Altuve made it 6-0 with an RBI single.
Sabathia allowed eight hits and six runs in six innings.
The Yankees couldn't do much offensively until the eighth inning when Brian McCann and Mark Teixeira hit consecutive RBI singles off Chad Qualls to make it 6-2. Qualls got out of the inning when Alfonso Soriano grounded into a double play
For the first time since 1947 and just the second time in team history, every position except pitcher had a different player on opening day than it did in New York's previous opener.
The Yankees began 2013 with a loss to Boston and among those who have either moved on or to the bench are star second baseman Robinson Cano (who signed with Seattle) and aging outfielder Ichiro Suzuki (now a reserve for New York).
Brett Gardner was the only player in both lineups, though he moved from center to left to make room Jacoby Ellsbury, one of several newly acquired star for the Yankees.
Feldman sailed through the first three innings against the new Bronx Bombers and New York's first hit didn't come until Carlos Beltran singled with one out in the fourth. He didn't allow another baserunner until Teixeira singled with one out in the seventh.

Tagged: Ushers
New Closer, Move Down + Angels Win!
It will be fun going to the Big A on Friday for the Angels Home Opening Day for all of the obvious reasons, but now I have an additional one. I can't wait to talk closers with Barbara, whom I doubt I am alone in calling my favorite usher. A diehard Angels fan, Barbara is kind of our den mother in the Right Field Pavilion, smiling, chatting baseball and shaming drunken idiots into behaving themselves as needed to ensure a good game for all. We hashed out all the problems of the bullpen and our closing situation many times over the course of the season and, of course, like armchair managers everywhere, we had all of the answers. And both of us wanted the Angels to just bring Jordan Walden in to close already. I imagine she is as thrilled with today's news as I am.
That's right, it's official. Mike Scioscia told reporters today that Jordan Walden is the Angels closer while Fernando Rodney works out his issues. This is an open ended decision. If Rodney recovers, he might join the regular bullpen or he might resume his closer role. If Walden seizes this opening and runs with it like I believe he can, he may be the Angels closer for the rest of the season. Quite possibly because the 23 year old Walden does not look old enough to convincingly order champagne 😉 – even with the beard – he instead celebrated his new role this evening by retiring the side in the 9th inning to cement the Angels 5 – 3 victory over the Rays. Good show, Jordan. I raise my glass to you.
I am a realist. I know this is a lot of responsibility to put on a 23 year old arm and psyche and I am sure there will be rough outings here and there. But, so far, the kid does extremely well under pressure and between last season, spring training and this week, Rodney was getting to the point where he walked batters every appearance, increasingly with disastrous results. As long as the quality outings are in the majority, we're significantly ahead of where we were this weekend. If Rodney recovers, the Angels can find any one of a number of uses for him. If he doesn't, better to eat his check then deal with the blown saves. Seriously.
As for the rest of this evening's game? (Okay, it was an evening game for us. If we want to actually watch the east coast games, we have to DVR them and watch them when we get home from work.) The bullpen still needs some calming down. Mr. Kohn, please settle down. You are often amazing but enough with giving up the homeruns already. It is anxiety inducing, not to mention letting my geek show just a little too much, to be shouting "Khaaaaaaaaaan!" loudly enough for my neighbors to hear so many days in a week. Other than that, it was a great game. Jered Weaver pitched a good one – 6 strikeouts over seven innings. Three walks though, which is unusual but didn't cost us too badly in the end. There's a reason we have phrases like mid-season form. He's getting there.
Young catcher Hank Conger got the start and his first major league homerun. Howie Kendrick continued his hot bat streak and we're scoring runs early, something we failed to do most of last season. Four stolen bases, a couple of great fielding plays, oh, and the season is now official – we had one truly terrible umpire call. Maicer Izturis made a diving catch and clearly caught the ball but the second base ump ruled that the ball hit the ground first. It was annoying, but ultimately didn't cost us anything. In those situations (where it doesn't cost anything), it's actually funny to watch Scioscia's usually impassive face become extremely animated and expressive. My husband and I frequently make humorous suggestions as to what Scioscia and the umpire might be saying to one another. Although, in this case, you could read Scioscia's lips loud and clear several times.
We need less excitement from the bullpen. We need to start scoring runs in the middle of the game too. We have improved but still need to do better with runners in scoring position. We need to do something about Scott Kazmir. But, hey, we won. We have a fix in place for the closer situation. We have Scott Downs coming off the DL any day now. We're hitting and we're working on those other issues. Optimism, returning. What a difference a win makes but, more importantly, what a difference a closer going one, two, three makes.

Clive Gregson and Christine Collister were the most moving and memorable U.K. folk-rock duo to emerge since Richard and Linda Thompson. Gregson's wry tales of the ins and outs of love, sung in Collister's heartbreaking voice have earned the duo (and subsequent solo work) respect and a devoted following, though commercial success and mainstream recognition have eluded them. Gregson (born January 4, 1955) was the founder of Any Trouble, a pub-rock/new wave quartet, in Manchester in 1975. The band's sound, and Gregson's songwriting and singing, reminded some of Elvis Costello, and Any Trouble was signed by Stiff, Costello's label. The band made several well-remembered but poor-selling albums, then split up in 1984.
In 1984, Gregson discovered Collister singing in a folk club and, impressed by her talents, he offered to work with her on future projects. Gregson had already begun an association with Richard Thompson, initially singing backup on the classic Shoot Out the Lights album in 1982. While working on Thompson's Hand of Kindness, Gregson suggested using Collister for additional backup vocal duties. The formula worked and the two continued for years as integral parts of the Richard Thompson touring band — arguably the finest live band he's assembled. In 1985, Gregson made a solo album, Strange Persuasions, with Collister singing backup on a few tracks. The two began performing as a duo on the folk club circuit shortly thereafter. The duo's first release was a homemade tape sold at gigs, later released as Home and Away. It was followed by their first formal album, Mischief, in 1987, and by a Change in the Weather in 1989. Love Is a Strange Hotel, released later the same year, was an album of cover versions of Gregson and Collister's favorite songs. By 1992, the stress of constant touring and working together without substantial success finally took its toll on them. The two decided to go their separate ways after one parting shot, The Last Word, and on final tour. They both continued on as solo acts.
Gregson eventually relocated to Nashville and has been the more active of the two, releasing the live "official bootleg" Carousel of Noise on his own label in 1994, People & Places in 1995, and I Love This Town in 1996 for Compass Records, in addition to various production work and side collaborations with Boo Hewardine. Christine Collister continued to play the folk circuit, releasing a live album, Live, in 1995 and a new studio album, Blue Aconite, in 1997. In 1998, after a brief stint in the group Plainsong, Gregson returned with Happy Hour, and launched a successful tour of the UK with Hewardine and Edie Reader. Gregson's 2002 release Comfort and Joy was followed by extensive touring, including rare jaunts to the United States and Japan, but in 2003 his career was put on hold for several months after a fall from a ladder resulted in a broken shoulder and arm. Thankfully, Gregson fully recovered, and returned with a low-key solo set, Long Story Short, in late 2004.

The sawtooth fin of great white shark is spotted cutting through the waters off Nauset Beach in Orleans, sending swimmers ashore.
The sawtooth fin of great white shark is spotted cutting through the waters off Nauset Beach in Orleans, sending swimmers ashore.
As great whites appear with greater frequency off Cape Cod, a new IMAX 3-D film will get viewers up close and personal with this predator we love to fear.
Everyone remembers those scenes in "Jaws'' of swimmers' legs dangling in the water like fish sticks as the soundtrack throbs "Da-dum, Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum,'' triggering primordial fears like a pulse throbbing from the depths of our imaginations.
But in "Great White Shark 3D,'' a thrilling documentary premiering at the New England Aquarium, great whites cruise the world's oceans driven to the brink of extinction by predatory humans.
Jaws agape with 300 razor sharp teeth, these perfect killing machines burst through the waves and practically into our laps in eye-popping 3-D.
Afterwards, you still might not want to dangle your tootsies next to bloody chum during feeding frenzy.
But you'll come away with new respect – and concern - for carcharodon carcharia, the perfect adaptation of a half-billion years of evolution.
Great white sharks make the perfect villain with their dead black eyes and cruel mouths.
Miscast as insatiable man eaters in Peter Benchley's and Stephen Spielberg's blockbuster novel and movie, "Jaws,'' great whites have been maligned as marine monsters that have replaced Jules Verne's squids as the ocean's premier villain.
As narrator, movie star Bill Nighy, who played the aging rock star in "Love Actually,'' provides the dramatic flair of someone barely able to conceal his astonishment at sharks' far-ranging abilities.
He tells viewers, "Sharks are one of nature's greatest success stories - until now.''
But humans are far more likely to be hurt or killed driving to the beach than being attacked by sharks.
Directed by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, "Great White Shark'' combines the best elements of a marine travelogue and an informative nature documentary.
After watching sharks explode through the waves to snap wooden model fish in their powerful jaws, viewers will know they're observing a creature of prehistoric perfection.
It is silent, spellbinding and spectacular world. In 3-D, it's headshaking beautiful.
Accompanied by experienced divers, viewers get to glide beside great whites off the California coast and through shark territory around the southernmost tip of New Zealand.
The filmmakers plunge armchair travelers beneath the waves and into the submarine wonder of some of the busiest great white hotspots of the world's oceans.
From the safety of their seats, they cruise the crystalline waters by Mexico's Guadalupe Island and explore the bone-chilling depths off South Africa in the company of international shark authorities who'll explain their behavior that puts them in a new light.
There are several scenes of stunning beauty as when breaching great whites "fly'' through the air like porpoises in South African waters or the silent eerie wonder of gliding through an undersea kelp forest.
The filmmakers turn the tables when they lets us know up to 73 million sharks are killed annually by fisherman to make shark fin soup which is sold throughout Asia.
After the film, Dr. John Mandelman, the Aquarium's principal shark researcher, said most shark attacks on humans result from "mistaken identity'' and humans are mostly "too boney'' to satisfy hungry sharks.
So who's the villain?
Atop the marine food chain, great white sharks what evolution equipped them to do: eat everything they need.
But from our perch atop a different sort of food chain, humans seem to be killing more than they need without getting very bloody.
After all, humans routinely "fin'' sharks, cutting off their delectable fins and dumping the remaining 98 percent of it back into the sea to die.
What can we do? Rather than just terrify us, the filmmakers aim to convince us that great whites are another marvel of nature that human greed has been sending in the direction of dodos.
As a cautionary tale and call-to-action, "Great White Shark'' is thrilling and informative.
But will the real predators listen?

SMASH!-tastic: For all the attention it gets for being a tennis town, New York hardly has a lot to claim when it comes to tennis that happens on the island we all (well, most of America, that is) think of first when we think about the city: Manhattan. Courts are hard (and expensive) to come by, and availability — good luck, tookums. But a couple of weekends ago, downtown Manhattan not only got its tennis on for the day, it did so in fashion. Gargyle and United Bamboo fashion, that is.
The boutique (Gargyle) and fashion line (United Bamboo) teamed up to host SMASH!, a day-long tournament, for a second straight year, this time venturing a bit west from the East River Park courts to those at Seward Park, on the fringes of Chinatown. SMASH! is what you would expect tennis in Chinatown to be like: fun, quirky, oh-so hipster-esque, relaxed and above all — cool.
Above: a wall of celebrating. TSF contributor and fashion extraordinaire Troy Venechanos and I ventured to the day's worth of events to check things out. Troy snapped some TSF-worth shots while I chatted with Don Vu of Gargyle about the event, which the store has approached a bit like throwing a dinner party at their house. "Tennis is one of the inspirations for Gargyle and you can see that in a lot of the lines that we pick," Vu told me while we took in some of the round robin tennis. "We decided to take that part of us and make a tournament out of it. For fun. It's pretty casual, but once you get on the court it's pretty competitive. It's relatively mellow overall, though."
All you need is you: The mixed doubles teams (15 of them total) were all told to dress up for the occasion, some going all out and others choosing toned-down looks. But this is no Wimbledon folks: these outfits are colorful. The teams were broken into groups of five, playing one another in a best-of-three match-tiebreak format (first to 10 points) where the top team from each group would advance to the semifinals and one wild card (Team Lisicki?) would be chosen to participate as well.
TSF Vault: Gargyle | Gargyle wraps up SMASH! on its blog
"There are similar events [around New York]," Vu told me. "For the most part there is nothing like this for tennis. It's a social event. We're not raising money for anything — it's just to hang out and have fun. It's friends and friends of friends who are playing. We run Gargyle just down the street." While Gargyle operates a few blocks away, the Hester Street Fair was happening just next door, so Troy and I trotted over a couple times throughout the day to snack on donuts (from Wonder City) and a specially-made macaroon called the SMASH! Sandwich. The guys at Macaron Parlour and Melt Bakery knocked heads (at Gargyle's nudging) to create a tennis-ball looking macaroon that was downright delicious. This pup below is drooling over the thought of such things.
See the SMASH! Sandwich and more on the Gargyle event after the cut. (more…)
