1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they
carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored
lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we
rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE
actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back
when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down
the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the
bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no
99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell
phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat
rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't
had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They
actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

Hungarian PM Viktor Orban says his Croatian counterpart "should be considered a representative of the Socialist International whose job is to attack Hungary."
Everything that happened in the past days will affect relations between Serbia and Croatia, Vesna Pusic has told the Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti.
Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic has said he "no longer wants to talk to Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic."
On this day 20 years ago, nine Serbs were murdered in the village of Varivode in the Knin municipality in Croatia.
Croatia has opened Bajakovo (Batrovci) and Tovarnik (Sid) crossings on its border with Serbia for all traffic, with no restrictions.
Croatian PM Zoran Milanovic is "intensively discussing" lifting "today (Friday) or tomorrow" his country's blockade of the border with Serbia.
The Croatian ambassador to Serbia has declined to receive a protest note sent by the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has been announced in Zagreb.
Austria said it would send back refugees who enter the country from the Croatia and Slovenia, pointing out that "Europe needs a sustainable asylum system."

There are many frontmen of once awe inspiring bands that are now defunct who could learn quite a bit from Rob Dickinson. Though he has released a solo album—2005's Fresh Wine for the Horses—he's well aware that most people want to hear songs from his Catherine Wheel days. This fact means his fans are hopelessly devoted to seeing him live (he was even given flowers at this show!), and though it may not be the same as seeing an actual Catherine Wheel reunion, it's the closest most of us will get to this perfection.
Latest Blog Posts
Anyone even remotely familiar with the British music scene of the 1990s might have heard of Adam Franklin who played an instrumental role in Swervedriver, a band that teetered around the shoegaze movement with a slightly more aggressive sound than many groups in the genre. If bands like Slowdive provided the dream pop lullabies, Swervedriver recalled the most visceral points in any live My Bloody Valentine set.
Not long ago I read an article by New York producer and DJ extraordinaire DJ/Rupture expounding on the nature of auto-tune. Essentially, he considered the phenomenon an exemplary synthesis between man and machine. While listening to the rising producer/songwriter Annabel Alpers at Brooklyn's Union Hall Tuesday night—performing under her Bachelorette moniker—I was thinking the same thing. As an electronica nerd who's best friend it seems is her laptop, Bachelorette calmly elicited longing, sorrow, and deep introspection in between melodies of shimmery synths and the occasional disco beat. Instead of an unrelenting dance cadence, her songs pulsated with feeling and sentiment. Her awkwardness and self-deprecating quips about her New Zealand origins only further emphasized her strangely sensitive electronic sound. The small crowd and space gave the performance a living-room vibe. While songs like "Doo Wop" and recent single "Mindwarp" were expressive and danceable, Bachelorette's chipper unease left a cloud of tension in the room—despite her LED bedazzled dress. Listening to Alpers' latest album, My Electric Family, at home just might suffice next time.
At their best, Pink Mountaintops is reminiscent of a more feminine Jesus and Mary Chain with a distorted sense of psych rock in songs like "The Gayest of Sunbeams", which sounded increasingly raw and energetic live in comparison to the album recording. There was a rougher rasp to Stephen McBean's vocals tonight, with less added reverb, and backing vocals that complimented him each step of the way. The evening often returned to a distorted melancholic folk style, though, with "Closer to Heaven", a song full of bittersweet romantic lyrics and a building instrumental part, intensifying as it progressed.
Vancouver's Stephen McBean is no stranger to the Canadian psychedelic rock scene. He's a pivotal member of the awe inspiring Black Mountain and, as a special treat, this tour finds him playing with vocalist/violinist Sophie Trudeau, who also plays with Montreal's Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra La La Band. While McBean is certainly productive—he has put out three full-length albums with Pink Mountaintops and released two full lengths and 3 EPs with Black Mountain—it's interesting to see how both bands have developed separately with only some similarities. This can be partially attributed to the involvement of different band members in both groups, though Pink Mountaintops' members seem to differ more. One key element is Amber Webber, who doesn't join McBean on stage as she does in Black Mountain, allowing her to pursue her own side project, the more feminine and abstract sounding Lightning Dust.
Though it contained moments of catchy rock, the set seemed full of the band's more sentimental folk songs, with the violin heightening the sentiment in the title track "Outside Love", for example. They ended the main set appropriately with "And I Thank You", and during the encore McBean brought out perhaps their most engaging rocker of the night, "Single Life" from the out of print seven inch bearing the same name. "Tourist in Your Town", an old crowd favorite from their first 2004 self-titled release, did not serve up the same high as "Single Life", but provided a great ending nonetheless.

So while Yogi Berra's mantra of "You can observe a lot by watching" may be true, Biesanz says, mere observation comes at the cost of substantial bias.
From romance to likeability
How we create first impressions is also important in the context of finding a romantic partner. Recent research suggests that whether someone meets a potential mate online versus in person can dramatically change their judging process.
"People are more likely to use abstract information to make their evaluations in hypothetical than in live impression formation contexts," says Paul Eastwick of the University of Texas, Austin, who is presenting results of his studies on gender differences in different romantic contexts. When men and women evaluate potential partners in person versus online, typical gender differences in ideal preferences disappear.
In general, men say they care about attractiveness in a partner more than women, and women say they care about earning prospects in a partner more than men. "But our meta-analysis reveals that men and women do not show these sex differences when they evaluate others in a face-to-face context," Eastwick says. "That is, attractiveness inspires men's and women's romantic evaluations to the same extent, and earning prospects inspires men's and women's romantic evaluations to the same extent."
The research suggests that in live face-to-face settings, people rely more on their gut-level evaluations of another person. "They focus on how that person makes them feel," Eastwick says. "It is very hard to get a sense of this information when simply viewing a profile. This disconnect can cause confusion and distress in the online dating realm, as potential partners that seem terrific 'on paper' prove to be disa

This is a great tasty soup that filled me right up. I doubled the recipe for my family. My husband is out of town, so it was just me and the kids-to be honest the kids didn't go for it, but that's okay -more for me! Thanks for sharing, I will be making this again!
Very easy and good too =) Thank you! i couldn't use pecans, because i didn't have any. Next time ! i used chicken broth.
Pretty good, the pecans was what made the soup in our opinion.
I didn't make the soup, but I needed to know how to toast pecans, and this method was perfect. Now...to make the soup when I get time...lol.

PALM CITY, Fla. -- John McHale, who played on the Detroit
Tigers team that won the 1945 World Series and went on to become a
longtime baseball executive, has died. He was 86.
McHale died Thursday morning in a hospice unit near his home in
Palm City.
A first baseman who played 64 games for the Tigers from 1943-48,
McHale made more of an impact in the front office. He was president
of the Montreal Expos when they debuted as an expansion team in
1969, and was their general manager.
McHale also was the GM for the Tigers and Braves, and worked in
the commissioner's office.
"Both personally and professionally, John McHale was one of the
finest gentlemen I have ever known," commissioner Bud Selig said
in a statement. "He was a longtime mentor of mine, and I had the
pleasure of serving with him on the board of directors of the
National Baseball Hall of Fame. Baseball has lost one of its most
respected figures."
McHale's son, John Jr., is an executive vice president in the
commissioner's office.
McHale was hired in 1968 as the Expos' first president and was
their GM from 1978-84. Montreal made its only playoff appearance in
McHale was succeeded by Claude Brochu as president of the Expos
in 1986.
Born in Detroit, McHale made his big league debut in 1943. He
had just one at-bat the next season and got his first two career
hits in 1945. He went 0-for-3 in the Tigers' seven-game win over
the Chicago Cubs in the World Series.
Overall, he hit .193 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 114
at-bats, all with Detroit.
McHale had one at-bat in 1948, the year he began his front
office career as the Tigers' assistant farm director. He later was
their director of minor league operations and GM.

Jun 30 02:47 PMI have to completely disagree with this article. Most of the arguements are compleley illogical. And some of the proported facts are erroneous. First of all comparing Redwood to Thornburg misses the point. Thornburgs downfall had completley to do with their loss of financing. The performance of the underlying mortgages was fine. And we dont know who bought them but Redwood certainly is a candidate. They reported that they bought CES's in Q1 at 37% of face value.
Redwood's debt is not trading at 50% of face value. It is just not trading at all. If you do your homework you will see that Redwood was forced by todays accounting standard to estimate that if someone had to sell the debt what price would it fetch. 50% is probably a good estimate as every market of this sort is currently inactive. The exact same thing hold true of many of the mortgages that Redwood owns. Redwood also marks those down to the price it would get if it had to sell. Fortunaltey unlike Thornberg, Redwood has commited financing until 2037 and will never be forced to sell.
In terms of the quality of the loans they own well it doesnt get much better. Average equity is the loans is 31%. Average FICO score is 736. Well heeled borrowers with lots of skin in the game means they will not be walking away from their obligations. So yes you would be in trouble if you had to sell like Thornberg did but Redwood smartly is buying qualityu paper while others are selling. to be fair Redwood does have a small exposure to ALT-A. But there as well it is very high quality ALT-A, Average equity is 22% and average FICO is 705. ALT-A currently makes up about 15% of Redwood's residential portfolio. This was all about knocking the stock down at the end of the quarter. Long term investors should hold on as Redwood is nicely postioned unless of course the entire US economy collapses and then well you got bigger problems than Redwood. Report abuse
I reread the Seeking Alpha. I had a few questions about the points the writer made.
First, it seems to me that the writer ignores the positive impact of the $257M cash position as of March 31.
Assuming the management of RWT has learned anything from this sub-prime debacle, they will be investing that money in incoming producing assets which are being sold at a bargain price. In addition, they will be investing in seasoned mortgages not subject to the losses of the 2006/2007 vintages. These new investments, made at advantageous prices, should produce significant positive contributions to the RWT income stream for years to come.
In addition, the writer bases his argument for large future losses at RWT on an assumed linkage between the value of RWT's mortgage CES and the ABX index. This index reflects the willingess of a group of investors/dealers to buy or sell credit default swaps on the basis of their views about the risk of that tranche of 20 specific subprime MBS transactions. So, the index is reflective of what a group of dealers/ investors is willing to pay for protection against future losses in the various tranches in 20 specific mortage pools. How accurate is this index in predicting actual future losses is a question, since it is a relatively small group of people contributing to this index, is based on only 20 specific mortgage pools, and is for insurance against losses. But it seems to be a real leap to predict the collapse of RWT on the basis of this one index.
Regardless of how justifiable it is to base the prediction of the collapse of RWT of this one index, it seems absolutely true that the RWT mortgage pools are, by definition, not the same as these specific 20 pools. Given management's prior statements regarding their focus on higher quality assets, I am assuming the RWT portfolios would show superior loss experience. But, that is also an assumption, one that the second quarter numbers will help confirm or deny.
Last, I could not help but notice that this article was posted coincident with the wave of selling. I assume the end of month short interest will show a rather impressive jump. It seems logical to conclude that the short sellers have launched a coordinated program to target this stock. They have certainly succeeded to date. But the second quarter RWT numbers may not confirm what this article is predicting. If so, the short sellers success could be short lived.
An interesting fact is that the CEO of RWT, George Bull, owns about 350,000 shares of RWT. I cannot see where he has sold stock, other than as part of a stock option exercise. In fact, he bought another 18,000 shares in March at the $28/$29 price range.
So, if RWT has these major asset write downs coming, resulting in an implosion on the scale this article is suggesting, why haven't we seen the insiders like George Bull selling? And why would be be investing another $500K in a company that is going to implode?
As a founder of the company, and a knowledgeable mortgage investor, George Bull has to know what risks and losses he has in his own company's portfolio.
I tend to agree that RWT has been targeted by the short sellers. I think they have to report short positions on 6/30. If this is correct, we will see a big jump in short positions. And, of course, RWT will have to report second quarter results as well.
It should be an interesting quarter.
nobody in America has to report short positions. The UK has some new rules around disclosing short positions in companies undergoing a rights offering, but those rules do not apply in the US.
The CEO of RWT is named George Bull???? Classic. LOL.
whether it makes sense or not this company is going to get pounded in to the ground whether it is a good company or not.
Lol, and go ahead and 1 star me because I'm not pitching a broken long position. These boards are pathetic.
Always a battle between the longs and shorts. Market is speaking pretty loudly on this one. For now I'd rather be a short making money than a long praying this company is ok.

Trivia Question #14 - answered!
Expand Messages
- Congratulations, SPrules! Once again, you prove yourself our reigning trivia champion. You named enough of the parents from STRANGE PARADISE to win our challenge, but you did go awry once or twice. Jean Paul and Erica's child was never born, so they were never technically parents. Also, while Robert Goodier's character in the 1600s flashbacks was said to be Jacques' and Phillipe's uncle, no mention is ever explicitly made of children of his own (so we can't count him either). But your other answers were spot on: Elizabeth Marshall, the Conjure Man, Jacques and Huaco, Mr and Mrs Pruitt, Ada Thaxton, Julien Desmond, and Gabriella. Of the characters you missed, one was a major supporting player and the other an exceptionally minor one. In one of the earliest Desmond Hall episodes, it is mentioned that Irene Hatter once had a daughter whom she lost. I've always found this an intriguing throw-away reference, and have long assumed it was a plot point which was meant to be developed, but was dropped in favor of other storylines. The other parent who appeared fleetingly on the show was the father of Crystal Hawkes (the second young local to die after Jean Paul returned to Desmond Hall). He probably had all of 20 seconds of screen time, but he did put in an appearance. Thanks for participating in my contest. Be sure to check back over the weekend for a new challenge!

Every so often a General Motors' truck owner forwards me their story regarding problems with brake line rust, a problem that executives at GM refuse to acknowledge. One recent such correspondence tells of one of the highest repair bills that I have heard of relating to corrosion and failed brake lines. Repairs were made to the vehicle after the owner narrowly avoided an accident as a result of failed brakes due to the corroded brake lines.
It must be difficult for the Mom and Pop investor to make sense of General Motors' recent earnings announcement and subsequent drop in share price. On Thursday morning, GM reported earnings that were trumpeted as being "impressive" by one major financial TV network. In fact, early in the day, headlines at the network stated that the entire market was being driven higher by strong earnings at GM and Caterpillar. That hyperbole came into question when GM share price dropped about 3% on a day that the broader markets were strong.
Environmentally conscientious, wealthy car enthusiasts are in luck! The much-hyped "D" unveiling came last week as Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, presented what appears to be a very impressive version of its plug-in Model S electric car called the P85D. Boasting 691 horsepower, 687 ft/lb of torque, AWD and a blazing 3.2 second zero to sixty time, the new rich peoples' toy is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $120,000. In fact, the car is so darn impressive that the only obvious question is why in the world do we need to give the affluent purchasers of cars like this a federal tax credit of $7,500 each?
Cadillac sales continue to sputter at General Motors. In fact, the brand is the only make at GM that has seen a year over year sales decline for the period ending in September at a time when the auto industry was booming. Specifically, Cadillac has logged in 127,837 sales for the first nine months of 2014 compared to 133,414 in 2013 for a sales decline of 4.2 percent. GM will now offer frequent flyer miles to help spur sales at the division.
A special inspector general report on compensation for executives at General Motors and Ally Financial blasts the Treasury Department for allowing excessive pay at the companies as taxpayers lost billions of dollars on the auto bailouts. The watchdog group issuing the report monitors the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), which was set up to save financial corporations deemed "too big to fail" due to systemic risk to America's financial system. The program was expanded to allow for the bailing out of the auto industry, despite the questionable use of funds specifically designated for financial institutions.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) faced some of its heaviest criticism to date last week on Capitol Hill. Hearings addressing the failings of the agency were headed by Senator Claire McCaskill and centered around NHTSA's part in General Motors' deadly ignition switch recall delay. The death toll (currently at 20) continues to rise as a result of GM and NHTSA allowing the dangerously defective vehicles to remain on the roads for about 10 years from when the problem was first recognized. While the criticism of NHTSA is well-deserved, it is past time for harsh words to be accompanied by an overhaul of the agency.
It's official. Chrysler has now completely merged with Italian auto maker, Fiat. It had taken a bit over five years for Fiat to gain total control of the bailed out, once-American Chrysler Corporation. Back in June of 2009, President Obama gifted (payment was made in the form of "technology") an initial 20% stake in Chrysler to Fiat as part of his orchestrated auto bailout process. Fiat parlayed that into full ownership and is now showing its gratitude to the American taxpayers who helped fund the deal by relocating Chrysler's headquarters to London; a move which will lessen the company's corporate tax rate.
It has now been over six months since General Motors finally recalled vehicles with a known deadly ignition switch defect. The defect was attributed with being the cause of accidents that resulted in at least 13 deaths. The Wall Street Journal now reports that only 34% of the recalled vehicles have been fixed.
GM has taken $3.4 billion in charges and losses on the past two earnings' reports for all of their recalls, despite the fact that most of the recalled vehicles have yet to be repaired. The most questionable part of GM's charges come from the first quarter's earnings' report.
General Motors continues to deny that it has a safety problem with brake lines that are prone to corrosion in as few as five or six years. Thousands of owners of GM trucks and SUVs have complained of failing brakes due to brake lines bursting from the rust problem. One of these owners, Joe Palumbo from Pennsylvania, has made it a quest (see his website here) to expose the safety defect, thus far to little avail. GM's latest response to Mr. Palumbo includes an implied admission that the company has been using inferior quality brake lines in its vehicles.
Two years ago, in August 2012, the U.S. Treasury Department issued its so-called "sweep" rule forcing mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to surrender all future profits. Shareholders were angered. Some sued the government. Their displeasure now has a measure of vindication. Near the end of July, an unnamed source leaked a confidential Treasury document (see pdf) to the public, dated June 13, 2011, showing that the department was willing to go to bat on behalf of outside investors, particularly The Blackstone Group, to facilitate purchases of equity stakes in the companies. At the time, Fannie and Freddie were rebounding from a deep slump, yet their management, under tight federal conservatorship since September 2008, had their hands tied. The latest revelations may strengthen the claims of existing shareholders, and more broadly, the cause of property rights.

Recently I attended a WW1 seminar where it was mentioned, just in passing, that Airedale Terriers were used in WW1 and were even considered to be war heroes. As a dog lover, this had me intrigued, and I planned to research into how they contributed to the war. But as usual, once I arrived home, there was too much research to be done, and too little time to do it.
As a result, the Airedales were put on the backburner.
Until today, when I met two awesome Airedale Terriers, and remembered that they were considered war heroes.
It seems that these brave dogs were indispensible in the war. As a very intelligent dog, they were highly trainable to do jobs that were very difficult and even impossible for humans. Along with being very brave, Airedales were found to be unstoppable and single minded. When given a job, they would see it through to its conclusion.
Airedales were taught to use gas masks for their protection. They would have baskets strapped to their back or packages around their necks to get supplies to the troops in the trenches on the front line.
Often first aid equipment was sent to the front line in this way, saving lives which otherwise would have been lost. The Red Cross delivered their first aid supplies to the troops in this way.
The Airedales were such a success in WW1 that they were still being trained as war dogs when WW2 started.
The following was on the BBC News website in an article about dogs of war. Just click on the link to read more. But the quote below encapsulates the total bravery and commitment of these dogs.
"There are countless tales of heroic service on the part of war dogs; one Airedale, named Jack, came to the rescue of his battalion when they found themselves totally cut off, surrounded by shell-holes and barbed wire – and needed to summon reinforcements.
"No man could get through the environment, and their one chance was Jack," said Alastair Petrie, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army who has owned a number of Airedales.

I have posted here previously about Kiva Micro loans and my ongoing commitment to continuing to make them. Yesterday I received an email that some of my loans have been paid back and I now have $50 credit, which is enough to make another two loans.
It always takes me ages to decide who to donate to, as there are so many who are worthy of donations. Just to make it easier, I choose women, for no reason really, other than it halves the time of searching. This time, I have chosen the industries of education and food.
Firstly I chose Anahit from Armenia (below), a widow with 2 sons from Armenia. Anahit needs the loan to heat the room where she tutors and prepares students for exams. She has a good record of repayment. This is also my first loan in the education sector.
My second loan goes to Teresa from Philippines (below) who needs help to buy fishing equipment and to get repairs done to her boat. Teresa is 45 with three school children, and seems to be a hard worker. She also has an excellent repayment record.
My day is always special when I get to make another Kiva loan. It's such a small thing for me to do, but with big results. Each loan costs $25, but my loans are all coming from the original $100 I put up in 2011. As each loan is paid back, the money is then re-loaned.
So far, I feel very proud that I have made 18 loans to borrowers in many countries – Armenia, Phillipines, Kenya, Tajikistan, Honduras, El Salvador, Jordan, Bolivia, Iraq, Kenya, Peru, Ecuador, Togo. These loans have made a big difference to people in struggling countries and economies, who are trying to support themselves.
My loans have all been made in the Genealogists for Families team, who have 309 members and have made 6064 loans at value of $160,000. I was involved with this team from the start and am constantly amazed at how successful we have been and the compassion showed by genealogists and their families and friends.

Rootstech is the largest genealogical conference in the world. Each year when I see that it's coming up, I dream of one day attending. Well, 2016 is my year. The conference is in February at Salt Lake City, Utah. Salt Lake City is the home of FamilySearch and is the holy grail for genealogists. Every year tens of thousands of keen and eager genealogists from beginner to professional flock to Salt Lake City to soak up genealogical, family history and technological information for four fabulous days.
As well as all the information that I will be soaking up, I'm looking forward to catching up with old friends and fellow genealogists and bloggers that I feel I know, but haven't actually met in person.
I have registered as a RootsTech Geneablogger, so beware, in February 2016 there will be much RootsTech excitement right here.
Over the past couple of years, I haven't really done much family history research due to time pressures. But, I haven't been ignoring my family history, as you may be thinking. Instead, I've been writing up the results of years of research. So, the past few years haven't really been wasted. But now, due to a change in my work situations, it looks like there will be a little more spare 'genie' time for me, so back to the research it is.
Revisiting my many family lines, I can see many gaping gaps. Some of those gaps can be easily filled with a few hours of research, others will take me physically visiting certain sites and areas to follow up on my previous research. Both in Australia and overseas.
That got me to thinking about my genealogy travel bucket list. If money or time wasn't a consideration, where would I want or need to go, to do more in-depth research of my various family lines? Or, where would I like to go to indulge my love of genealogy, family history and history in general? After day dreaming and giving it much thought, have come up with my Genie Travel Bucket List. Some of the places on the list I will get to visit. Some I may get to visit. And some, I most likely won't get to visit. But who knows what is in the future and I've had fun dreaming about where I could be heading off too next.
Wales – Haverfordwest & Pembrokeshire, to find my elusive JOHN TAYLOR and to also learn more about the family and lives of his son and daughter in law, JOHN TAYLOR and MARTHA LLOYD who were the first Taylor immigrants to make the long trip out to Australia in 1841.
England – Bedfordshire to trace my large WATERS family and see Dunton Newbury, the agricultural land they farmed, which still exists.
Ireland – Donegal where PATRICK BOYLE and his family were born. More research needs to be done on their early lives in Ireland, before I visit, but I have seen photos of the area and it looks beautiful. I'd love to walk on the ground, close to where they lived.
Jamaica – Lots of research needs to be done here. My Great Great Grandfather THOMAS JAMES JONATHAN MCQUEEN/MCEWAN was born in Jamaica in 1824. I suspect that his father was born in Scotland and was probably in Jamaica as part of the military. But this is just conjecture. Work needs to be done to prove or disprove my theory.
Sandakan Borneo – Third cousin GORDON CRESSWELL TAYLOR served in WW2 and died there as a POW. I would love to walk the path of the Sandakan death marches and also see the site of the graves and memorials.
Roots Tech – Multi day conference with sessions to help expand genealogy researching skills and learn about new technologies for genealogists. This conference is held at the home of FamilySearch in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA and each year I dream of attending. But my exciting news is that I will be there in 2016! More to come on this. But it definitely will be crossed off the bucket list.
Who Do You Think You Are? – Another genealogy conference that I would love to attend. This one is in the UK. so I'm not sure if I will ever get to attend, but my fingers are crossed. One day…..
England Kent – for further research. This time into the HODGE family, a branch that I have recently begun researching.
Channel Islands – Again, this is for research into the HODGE family line. The research in this area, is into the DALCAM family, who migrated from Jersey in the Channel Islands to Australia, and settled in Whroo, Victoria, where the were successful gold miners.
Unlock the Past Cruise – I would love to do another genealogy cruise. I did the first Unlock The Past Cruise from Auckland, New Zealand to Sydney, Australia, and loved it. I loved that I could spend every day for two weeks, learning and relearning information relating to family history research and genealogy. Hopefully I will get to do that again one day.
Victoria – Given that Victoria is my home state, this probably sounds a bit strange. But I rarely get time to visit significant towns and sites, relating to my family history. Even when most are just a day's drive from Central Victoria, where I live. I have family history dotted all around the state, and would love to take 2 weeks to do a road trip and visit these areas and their family history societies and cemeteries. This trip would also make it possible for me to catch up in person with the many distant cousins who have become friends during the years spent on researching our family.
August is National Family History Month. This is an initiative of Australasian Federation of Family History Organisations Inc. It's aim is to promote family history and give the ever increasing numbers of people interested in family history, an opportunity to get along to their local societies, to do a course or gain further knowledge.
So during the month of August, the calendar of genealogical talk and events is always huge throughout Australia. August has been a busy month for me, so I haven't been able to get to as many events as I would have liked. The highlight for me was the Family History Feast at State Library Victoria. This is an annual all day conference. The theme for 2015 was The Centenary of World War 1, a subject of huge interest for me. Following are the sessions that were available:
Victoria's Journey of Remembrance, "Stories and things that unite generations" by Gideon Perrott, State Trustees
"No damned females" How to find Australian women in World War 1 by Dr. Kirsty Harris, University of Melbourne
4th Light Horse Regiment, by Dr. David Holloway, military historian
Soldier Settlement by Daniel Wilksh, Public Records Office of Victoria
WW1 Records held by National Archives of Australia – Grace Baliviera
The First Shot, First World War Collection at State Library of Victoria – Steven Kafkarisos
THE DON GRANT MEMORIAL LECTURE – Bringing The War Home, Repatriation records and the family historian.
given by Professor Bruce Scates, Monash University
All I can say is that I was in my element, soaking up all that information, from experts in their field, for a whole day. It's not all that often that I get to do that, and particularly on a topic that I'm passionate about.
I will definitely be attending this event again in 2016. In my opinion it's definitely not to be missed.
I have decided to participate in The Genealogy Do-Over, organised by Thomas McEntee of Geneabloggers, This 12 week project has come along at exactly the right time for me. I have been thinking of how messy and disorganised my research materials and results have become, mainly due to the spasmodic and casual way I have approached my family history in recent years. It's been doing my head in trying to decide where to start.
Week 5 is about finding and organising online research tools and understanding sources as a research tool.
This is the week I've been waiting for. I really need to get my sources more under control. Even though I understand sourcing and the need for them, I'm sure my system of sourcing could do with a do over.

Managing Research Tasks and tracking searches are the topics for Week 4. We are told that some researchers may consider these topics to be non-essential, and if so, to continue on with working on week 3 topics.
For me, these topics don't really seem relevant at this time,so I'm going to be one of those that skip them. I'm a bit snowed under with Do Over tasks at the moment, but will definitely come back to this week's topics a bit later, probably when the do-over has been completed

5 Mistakes Law School Grads Make in their First Jobs
It's that time of year. A time when young men and women say goodbye to grueling law school and enter, in some cases, an equally grueling workforce.
In a matter of months, law firms across the country - and the world - will welcome law school graduates with open arms. They'll be encouraged to hit the ground running, start networking, and a build a book of business.
Unfortunately, though, inexperience and good old-fashion cockiness will cause some first-year associates to make BIG blunders on the job.
Here are five first-time lawyer career mistakes to avoid.
1. Avoiding grunt work.
Law school grads almost always start at the bottom because that's where they learn how a firm works.
First-time lawyers must learn how to write the sort of memo a boss wants to read, how to navigate office personalities, how to simply get things done in an organization. Even if it's not the most glamorous work, first-time associates should pay attention to detail, follow instructions, and care about quality.
2. Not being thorough.
In law school, students are often expected to argue one point of view. At a law firm, associates are expected to consider all options thoroughly and make a recommendation that includes pros and cons.
3. Not seeking out a mentor.
Many powerful rainmakers - young and old - can safely say they owe a good deal of their success to their mentors. If students haven't found one in law school, they should seek one out immediately after graduation.
Instead of spending comfortable lunches with peers, first-time lawyers should try to get to know their older, more experienced colleagues. They have a wealth of knowledge to share and could help a new associate progress faster in the firm.
4. Forgetting to say "thank you."
Courtesy - while sometimes ignored - goes a long way. People who feel appreciated are more likely to go out of their colleagues. They won't, however, if colleagues don't seem to care.
5. Not taking social networking seriously.
It's well known that one wrong post on a social networking site like Facebook can doom a career. New associates must keep their posts professional - always.
Law school graduates should remember that it's not what they do, but how they do their job that's important.
Strive to be the standout associate you set out to be!

Slideshow: 10 Aperol Cocktails to Welcome Spring
This Pimm's Cup variation from The Modern in NYC brings together Aperol, Pimm's, and rich apricot liqueur, lightened with a splash of bitter tonic and garnishes of cucumber and mint. Get the Recipe »
Cheeky Negroni
This less-robust Negroni variation is just the right sipper for spring, leaving behind heavier ingredients for Aperol, Lillet Blanc, and delicately flavored Hendrick's gin. Get the Recipe »
Aperol Spritz
You'll see this drink all over Italy: it's easy to make and easy to drink. The Aperol lends a rosy hue and bittersweet punch to Prosecco lengthened with soda. Get the Recipe »
The Paper Plane
Though you often see Aperol combined with lighter spirits, it can work well with aged alcohols as well. We're a little obsessed with this cocktail lately: equal parts good bourbon, rich Amaro Nonino, fresh lemon, and Aperol make for a delicious combination. Get the Recipe »
Aperol Gin Punch
This big batch of punch is ready for a party. It's tangy, a little herbal, and strong, flavored with lime, grapefruit, and orange. You might want to thin it with sparkling wine if you're looking to slow down the party's pace a bit. Get the Recipe »
Rosemary, Baby!
This punch from Brooklyn's Prime Meats is based on Aperol infused with fresh rosemary for a rich piney flavor, offset with honey, bourbon, and sparkling wine. Get the Recipe »
Descanso Beach Smash
A vacation sipper that's not too sweet, spiked with rye and Aperol, and flavored with fresh muddled lemon and mint. Get the Recipe »
The Two-One-Two
Created by Willy Shine, this cocktail is easy to remember: two parts reposado tequila, 1 part Aperol, two parts fresh grapefruit juice. It manages to be both rich and refreshing, just right for urging on warmer weather. Get the Recipe »

DH has been deployed to Afganistan for the last 8 months and his return is fast approaching. We were texting yesterday and he said to expect his dad to get with me on visiting after he got back. I said "that's great!" We only see him every year or two. Then DH said "I did tell him that the arrivals can be off by 24 - 48 hours," at which time I realize that he wants to come for the actual Homecoming!
Let me get the "me problem" out of the way first, then the facts, then y'all tell me if I'm wrong...I know I'm not being impartial, but you guys certainly will be lol!
FIL has not contacted me (other than Merry Christmas) since DH left. Not to ask after his 3 grandchildren, not to ask how I was, if we needed a shoulder or an ear...nothing. Yet he wants to be a part of the most amazing, tearful, joyous moment that the kids & I have been dreaming of since the second he left. So, yeah...bitter, party of one right here!
Now here's what they've briefed me on reintegration. It's a time to learn to be a family again. DH doesn't know anything about our schedules, disclipine methods and for sure the baby is going to be a little unsure at first (18 mo). They also suggest avoiding crowded loud areas and advise not to travel for the first little bit.
Would I be out of line putting my foot down and asking FIL to come a couple of weeks later?
UD Question. I'd like to handle it quickly and without DH, he's a major unicorn with his dad and has a hard time saying no. I'm thinking an email like this: I hear you want to come visit, that's so great! I think that xx (one month after ) will be a good time for us. What do you think? I understand the 1 week/mo guideline but its just not conceivable unless issues arise. We only live a couple of hours from my family and visit often...can't imagine we would wait that long therefore couldn't deny FIL that time.

Don McCullin is recognised as one of the most important war photographers. He has covered events of global significance, including the Vietnam and Biafran wars since the 1960s, on one occasion, his camera even stopped a bullet intended for him.
Now a new exhibition at Tate Britain goes beyond images of war, to highlight McCullin's wider photographic practice. In this interview for TateShots, McCullin talks candidly about some of the shaping moments in his career, including his first foreign assignment in divided Berlin in 1961; his documentary work on homelessness in East London in the late 60s; and the landscape photography, both urban, and rural that continues to absorb him.

The Shoe InnJanuary 18, 2014Restaurant • Exton, United Kingdom
Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Can't ask for much more than that
Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Can't ask for much more than that
Bring a face mask, full auto close quarters means been shot in the face a lot
Outstanding stout always on tap here
This place has changed hands, food not so good and drink over prices. View still good but gets busy early, recommend the old house at home
Good pub food here, bar staff a friendly and has great atmosphere. Recommend getting down for live music nights
Plenty of great and affordable pre-owned low mileage vehicles available here!
There is also a pet shop and aquatics shop here
Don't sit far left of the bar for wifi as it rarely works there.
I must recommend the heritage French goats cheese
Try the BBQ stacked burger or Blue and bacon

I love this mascara! I have straight average sized lashes and this really adds oomph to them! This mascara volumizes, lengthens and defines lashes. It's not clumpy as other mascaras are unless you put too much. This is great for an everyday mascara because it's very natural looking. If you want the big false lashes mascara, this wouldn't be the choice. The price is okay for what you're getting and the packaging is nice. Many people are wondering why the brush is so big! Well it's a volumizing mascara so the brush is supposed to be big. Some advice is to wipe some of the product off the brush with a tissue or toilet paper to reduce clumpage. Do this for every mascara you own! It really helps. I wear this for school almost everyday and it doesn't smudge or flake. This is safe for contact wearers or sensitive eyes because I have sensitive eyes and I wear contacts. Last Blast Volume is one of my favorite mascaras so I would definitely repurchase!

I find this to be great mascara, really adds volume, lengthens, etc. I bought the waterproof, and it takes quite a bit of work to get off. Doesn't fade, flake, or bleed. The only thing I would change is the wand: I love wands like the Maybelline Plush that are narrow with very feathery bristles. This wand is thick and has stubby plastic bristles. This doesn't make much of a difference to the finished look, just my personal preference.

This is the 2nd best mascara I've used, the best being Majolica Marjorca. This doesn't clump or smudge and gives good extension.
But why is it so fat?! It takes up way more space than it should. Otherwise it's a good mascara.
I received it as a gift but I won't repurchase it because it's not the best mascara for me.

I can not remember ever owning any other mascara. That's how good this mascara is. Or maybe i just need to try new things.
Anyways, i do not have long, thick eyelashes, but i get so many compliments when i wear this mascara! I would say its my HG mascara, but i honestly haven't tried enough to commit to it. I've owned this in both the normal and waterproof and they're both awesome. I've started wearing it on my bottom eyelashes also, and i absolutely love this look. My eyes without this mascara v. with the mascara is almost a scary difference. If you're on a low budget or you're a poor college student like me, i'd definitely recommend!

I've been using this product for over a year and it has served me well, but my tastes have changed and I no longer like what it does for me. This product is very good at separating and lengthening lashes, but it doesn't seem to give me volume, which is what it is marketed for. It also doesn't really hold a curl well, and it flakes a little, but it's not too bad. I use the non-waterproof version and I think it comes off easily with makeup remover. Overall, I think it's a good product if you're looking for something that separates and lengthens, but if you're looking for volume I would say try something else.

This is definitely my HG mascara. I will get sidetracked with fancy new mascaras that I purchase, lured in by fantastical promises, but somehow every time I use this again after another mascara I realize how superior it is. It instantly provides amazing volume and separates my lashes beautifully. It is also much easier to remove than other mascaras, which is a huge plus for me because I don't like to sit there scrubbing at my delicate eyelid skin with a makeup wipe. I will continue to repurchase this forever!

Favorite mascara of all time!! very volumizing. if you like volume, this is the mascara for you. Gives a decent amount of length as well. this can look natural, and can look dramatic if you use 2-3 coats. I buy the waterproof one and its the longest lasting mascara I've tried. every other mascara smudges like crazy on me. very affordable. The only thing i dislike is the tacky orange packaging, but that's a minor issue. Highly recommend this mascara.

This is a mascara I will continue to repurchase forever! It doesn't only give me a ton of volume, but also separates my lashes well, lengthens and gives them a wearable dramatic look. I won't waste my money on high end mascaras when there's something this good at the drugstore. This mascara DOESN'T clump which can be a negative result from volumizing formulas. The tube is a little hard to grip, but this product is truly worth all the hype! For a detailed review and in-person application of this mascara, check out my video review on YouTube...

i use the brownish black waterproof one and I'm very pleased with the volume it adds. I also love that it stays on for a long time without smudging. I am an active person and I sweat easily, so finding a formula that really IS waterproof was important for me. Maybe the downside of this mascara is that it takes me forever to get it all off at night, even with a good eye make-up remover!
