Remember, historically high growth rates don't always mean a high rate of growth looking into the future. over the past few years.
Unlike recent years, growth in Riverside County's population - up 2.14% - did not account for the greatest increase among the state's 58 counties - it came in third. The fastest growing county during the period was Placer County, north of Sacramento, which grew by 2.6 percent (to 339,000 residents). Imperial County also grew at a faster rate than Riverside County with an increase of 2.32%. Imperial County's population of 177,820, however, is dwarfed by Riverside County's 2,106,328 permanent residents which make it the fourth most populous county in the state, comprising 5.52% of California's population. Only Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. , San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. and Orange counties have more residents, according to the latest report.
Riverside County also ranked third by total number of new residents, adding 44,178, about 2,500 fewer than San Diego County. Los Angeles County had the biggest population jump, 74,354, but because of its size ranked 36th in percentage increase.

For the one-year period, there were 21,160 more births than deaths in Riverside County and net migration contributed roughly 23,000 new residents.
"Potential residents look for communities that are safe and offer a range of public and private schools, colleges and universities," notes Tom Freeman Tom Freeman is a graphic artist who designs tee-shirts and other projects for a company located in Walhalla, South Carolina. He has produced a series of ever-increasingly sophisticated shirt designs for the annual Spittoono , representative of the Riverside County Economic Development Agency. "Our geographic location and close proximity to lakes, beaches, mountains, deserts and affordable housing continue to make us a county of choice for new residents." Based on the latest calendar year estimates by the Department of Finance (as of January 1, 2008), the Coachella Valley Coachella Valley (kō'əchĕl`ə), arid region, SE Calif., N of the Salton Sea. Water is brought into the region by artesian wells and by the Coachella Canal (123 mi/198 km long), a branch of the All-American Canal built between 1938 and grew at a faster rate in 2007 than both the county and the state. The valley population expanded at a rate of 2.9% in 2007, down .7% from the 3.6% increase during the previous year. The valley added 12,682 new permanent residents in 2007, bringing the grand total to 443,612 (including Wheeler's Market Intelligence estimates of the population in the unincorporated areas within the valley). The valley boasted 4 of the top 10 fastest growing cities in terms of percentage increase in Riverside County. The city of Indio was among the 10 fastest growing cities (6th) in terms of numeric change in California among those with a population of less than 300,000. It was also the 3rd fastest growing city in Riverside County in terms of percentage increase. Coachella, where permanent population grew 5.2%, posted the 2nd fastest growth rate in the desert region and the 4th fastest growth rate in the county.
Looking ahead, we see that essentially every entity that provides population projections for the Coachella Valley, including CVAG CVAG Coachella Valley Association of Governments

When that will happen is difficult to predict with a high level of confidence, but the Riverside County Center for Demographic Analysis Demographic analysis uses administrative records to develop an independent estimate of the population [1]. Demographic analysis estimates are often considered a reliable standard for judging the accuracy of the census information gathered at any time. projects the region will be home to approximately one million people by the year. 2035.
Specifically, the Riverside County Center for Demographic Research projects that total permanent population in the Coachella Valley will be 559,1005 in 2015 and 1,001,000 by 2035.
For the state as a whole, natural increase remains the primary source of the state's growth since 2002. The natural increase of 329,000 in the past year is composed of 571,000 births minus 242,000 deaths. This accounted for 75 percent of the 2008 fiscal year growth.
Net migration contributed over 107,000 new residents, 25 percent of the growth. Net migration includes all legal and unauthorized foreign immigrants, residents who left the state to live abroad, and the balance of hundreds of thousands of people moving within the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. both to and from California. During the fiscal year, the state gained over 242,000 new foreign immigrants and, similar to the prior four years, experienced a modest loss of 135,000 persons to other states.
Since the last national census on April 1, 2000, the state has grown by almost 4.3 million persons for an overall growth rate of 12.6 percent. The population was increased by 4.5 million births and the arrival of 1.8 million foreign immigrants and diminished by 1.9 million deaths and the net overall loss of 84,000 domestic migrants. Natural increase during the period was over 2.6 million accounting for 60 percent of the growth. Net migration contributed 1.7 million persons.

A while ago I did a photoshoot for a friend from work. She's this amazingly creative amateur photographer who only started a good year ago. She is like this creative bomb waiting to happen, her enthusiasm is just so contagious!
My friend was playing with the idea for a horror theme, so we brainstormed for a while about location and props and in the end, this was the result. When we were all set up for the shoot at a half collapsed, overgrown entrance into the factory, dusk was already falling so we had to work fast to use the light as much as possible to our advantage.
It's amazing what a crappy Halloween costume from the carnival store and an old abandoned stone factory at dusk did for us that day. As soon as I entered the cave with my props and long swishing skirts I felt like a succubus crawling into darkness. That day I truly embraced my inner monster. It totally kicked ass to become that wicked!
But for me, the most powerful memory I kept from the shoot was the fun we had creating just the right setting, getting into character and generally the people I was with that day.
Here is the rest of the shoot, shiver and shake!
I thoroughly enjoyed my transformation from plain old me into evil witch – Succubus
I really like this shot, it was unexpected for me cause I was distracted while tying my shoelaces.
You do a little dance and then you drink a little blood. Just another day in the life of a Succubus.
Ah, the one with the candles. Exciting that one. Such an easy fabric to ignite, that red nylon cape.
Our little slow shutter speed experiment. Perhaps not the best pic, but I think it looks kind of over the top 'stiff' and therefore a bit funny ^^
Last but not least, the Hitchcock pic.
Enough creepiness for tonight, and sweet dreams to you, dear reader.
Lost. Being utterly and completely lost is what I have felt like in 2013. I gained freedom and when I got it, I lost it again. I have strained myself for more then 3 years in order to pay of debt. My mindset was totally focused on just one thing. Pay back my debt. Pay back my debt. Pay back my debt.
So great. I payed back my debt. I spent the last 3 years of my life living in a micro-cosmos. Shit worked too. Freedom can be a total bitch sometimes if it comes and bites you in the ass when you least expect it. You see, I expected to be in debt for at least FIVE years. So I didn't expect to get of the hook so soon. I was not at all prepared for that kind of freedom.
Wait. I never really introduced myself. I am a young woman, a true blue dreamer with a practical mindset. It's a paradox I know. More often then not these two parts of me are in conflict with each other. When that happens I get stuck. Whenever I get stuck it feels like my inner landscape freezes over. I enter a soulful wintertime. Right now, my inner landscape is thawing. Which is why I am writing again. Writing to me is like therapy. Words can be so easy. But I digress.
Freedom. When I first realized I was debt free I was in shock. I felt like a prisoner who was suddenly released out of a dark hole and when I entered the light it hurt my eyes, I was temporarily blinded by the light of a new day. I needed time to re-adjust, orientate myself again. Look around me, see the world. Figuring out my place in it. To reclaim my place in the world.
In a lot of ways that is just what I did. I had to start over from scratch since I never had any material stuff to begin with. I never really was a material girl anyway, but at 34 I am starting to crave a home to call my own. So these days I have a nice little apartment with nice big windows and lots of plants in it,a big white ice bear- odd eyed cat called Mushi and last but not least, a big furry man in it. But I have been dating the big furry man for a while, so he isn't new like all the rest of the furniture ^_^ Sadly, he isn't odd eyed like Mushi. But his shy brown eyes go a long way too :)
In many ways, I still feel very much lost. At 34, I don't feel established like lots of people my age around me probably feel. I don't own a house, I rent an apartment. I don't have steady job, I still work as a temp. I was pregnant this year, and a couple of weeks later, I wasn't pregnant any more. My world opened up like a flower and then a hailstorm flew over it. Right when I started coping with the fact that I was going to become a mother I lost my baby. Right when I thought I was feeling ready to start a new life again, life started growing within me. And just like that it was gone again.
Despite all the sadness, I can't help but feel like an optimist. There's a saying in the I Ching: 'Be not sad. Be like the sun at midday.' It's all about hexagram 55, which is commonly translated as 'Abundance'.
If you're interested in the I Ching, I very much recommend Hilary Barretts website: www.onlineclarity.co.uk
So 2013, yeah rollercoaster. Focused. Unexpected freedom. Shock. Euphoria. Organizing. Deciding. Release. New life. Loss. Sadness. Mourning. Re-evaluating everything. Starting something new. Hope. There is always hope.
A very dear friend of mine introduced me to the this wonderful composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto. This piece always gives me the chills, it's perfect for wintertime.
I took this pic last autumn, it's in a back lane close to my dads big old house. Often times when I was biking home from work I liked to hop off and just stand there watching the sun setting slow. It's one of those combinations of places and time that to me, marks the border between our world and the next. The purple hour, if you catch my drift…
By Neil Gaiman
Touch the wooden gate in the wall you never saw before.
Say "please" before you open the latch,
go through,
walk down the path.
A red metal imp hangs from the
green-painted front door,
as a knocker,
do not touch it; it will bite your fingers.
Walk through the house. Take nothing. Eat nothing.
if any creature tells you that it hungers,
feed it.
If it tells you that it is dirty,
clean it.
If it cries to you that it hurts,
if you can, ease its pain.
From the back garden you will be able to see the wild wood.
The deep well you walk past leads to Winter's realm;
there is another land at the bottom of it.
If you turn around here,
you can walk back, safely;
you will lose no face. I will think no less of you.
Once through the garden you will be in the wood.
The trees are old. Eyes peer from the undergrowth.
Beneath a twisted oak sits an old woman.
She may ask for something;
give it to her. She
will point the way to the castle. Inside it
are three princesses.
Do not trust the youngest. Walk on.
In the clearing beyond the castle the
twelve months sit about a fire, warming their feet, exchanging tales.
They may do favors for you, if you are polite.
You may pick strawberries in December's frost.
Trust the wolves, but do not tell them
where you are going.
The river can be crossed by the ferry.
The ferryman will take you.
(The answer to his question is this:
If he hands the oar to his passenger, he
will be free to leave the boat.
Only tell him this from a safe distance.)
If an eagle gives you a feather, keep it safe.
Remember: that giants sleep too soundly; that
witches are often betrayed by their appetites;
dragons have one soft spot, somewhere, always;
hearts can be well-hidden,
and you betray them with your tongue.
Do not be jealous of your sister.
Know that diamonds and roses
are as uncomfortable when they tumble
from one's lips as toads and frogs:
colder, too, and sharper, and they cut.
Remember your name.
Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found.
Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have
helped to help you in their turn.
Trust dreams.
Trust your heart, and trust your story.
When you come back, return the way you came.
Favors will be returned, debts will be repaid.
Do not forget your manners.
Do not look back.
Ride the wise eagle (you shall not fall).
Ride the silver fish (you will not drown).
Ride the grey wolf (hold tightly to his fur).
There is a worm at the heart of the tower;
that is why it will not stand.
When you reach the little house, the
place your journey started,
you will recognize it, although it will seem
much smaller than you remember.
Walk up the path, and through the garden
gate you never saw before but once.
And then go home. Or make a home.
Headstrong campanula's
An old friendship this one. I like to think I catched the essence of my dear friend in this pic.
Spring was springing up all around me when I was walking down the canal this may. The reflection of the water gives this picture an unearthly feeling, as if they were night blooming flowers or space blooming flowers :)

Instead of a win, the Bengals had to settle for a 37-37 tie. Nugent had a tough time looking his teammates and coaches in the eye after that miss. He's hasn't had any such troubles since. Nugent has...

Cincinnati Bengals current confidence level from national media is eye opening
It's crunch time. That's the best way to describe mid-November games in the NFL, contests that will ultimately start to thin the herd of playoff contenders, narrowing the field to those teams truly capable of making the postseason and leaving the pretenders exposed for the football world to see. What franchises fall into each category? This week's Gut Reactions help provide...

A.J. Green During Sunday's Game: You'd Better Get Someone Else on Me
After dealing with a toe injury throughout most of the season, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green appears to be back to his old self on the football field.

And while he was dominating the Houston Texans secondary, the Pro Bowl receiver was throwing a little...

Cincinnati Bengals: Three keys to victory over the Texans.

fantastic b and b. Met on the drive on arrival waved off in the morning - nothing was too much trouble room spotless, breakfast great ,swimming pool well heated ,highly recommend
The rooms are small but extremely well equipped with a high standard of fixtures and fittings.

Secure entrance and car parking, a private entrance to each room, and a very comfortable bed.
Pool Breakfast Dvd player in the room/suite Very friendly owners their little cute dog ! Terrace Location and facilities, quiet Safe Parking Bages
not easy to find even with GPS, in a small village, but very well located close to the highway exit
It was just perfect
Our hosts are wonderful people eager to ensure our stay was a memorable one. The facilities are great to come back to after a day visiting lots of nearby sites. The directions were a bit confusing at first but all ok once clarified(asked at the local bar). Own transport is recommended for travelling around this lovely area of France. There is a fantastic seafood restaurant overlooking the water, in Bages which is 5 Kim's away.
Relaxing and calm environment. The owners made us feel very welcome which continued throughout our stay. Room was well equiped even down to a free bottle of wine in the frig. Weather during our stay was wonderful which enhanced our stay.
Had to drive to the nearest restaurants for dinner. On initial arrival access to property difficult to locate from road when arriving by car.

Oh Great!
We had this a couple of years ago. Husband pretty much got the last plane into Heathrow from anywhere and got home in a blizzard for Christmas.
This year December 14th is the key day when his flight from India is due to land and it's also my eldest's last day of term at Uni... Fingers crossed the bad stuff will be postponed until December 17th when we'll all be home and can just pile on the jumpers and stay put.
Now the Daily Mail warns of the 'Pest from The West'
Link: Sub-zero Britain to warm up as Atlantic front sweeps in... but the 'Pest from the West' will bring more rain and the wet weather could last until Christmas | Mail Online
bringing dire consequences:
The dreaded 'Beast from the East' cold front has been vanquished by the 'Pest from the West' which will bring 80mph winds and heavy rain, the Met Office warned today.
Forecasters say that the Beast from the East, which was meant to blanket Britain in snow and freezing fog, is no more as the 'atmosphere changed its mind'.
Brits bracing themselves for snow don't need the sledges just yet as the UK is going to get battered by wind and rain instead thanks to the Pest from the West.
Never mind the weather... I'm finding the sensationalised wails from The Mail troublesome.
It's winter. The weather's rubbish and the forecasts inaccurate... It's hardly news.
Weather forecasters can barely get the weather right 3 days in advance, so what chance have they got when predicting weeks/months? The Mail probably uses seaweed & other 'folklore' weather forecasting techniques.

Gardeners around the world appreciate and cultivate natural beauty in many forms, whether in formal French or Italian styles, the casual riot of colors in English cottage gardens, rainbows of Dutch bulbs, informal wildflower meadows, or neat rows of edible fruits and vegetables.
However, interest in Bonsai and Japanese gardening is gaining popularity worldwide, in part because it seeks to capture and celebrate the splendor and variety of the universe in a microcosm, recognizing that everything- plants, people, even inanimate objects like stones and mountains- contain a dynamic, spiritual essence. And each element is symbolic of the whole and a worthy subject of respect and contemplation.
Japanese techniques do not imitate nature so much as they idealize it. By severely limiting its scope, one carefully pruned Bonsai tree can appear ancient and venerable, symbolizing all life in one tiny tray.
On a balcony or in the smallest courtyard, a well-chosen rock becomes a mountain, surrounded by skillfully placed gravel that seems to flow like water.
The serene stillness may be broken by the sound of running water, reminiscent of a waterfall, reminding us that nothing remains the same, that time is passing, and we live in a world which is impermanent, imperfect and incomplete. Understated elegance, simplicity, austerity, reduced scale, asymmetry and use of empty space combine to close out the hectic material world, focus attention on solitude, and the importance of living in this moment.
Join Master Gardeners Sylvia Kremp and Barbara Petrucci to experience a multi-sensory demonstration of these techniques and learn how to incorporate them into your home, creating a personal space for tranquility and transcendence.

Need something to hold you over until Season 7 of Project Runway starts on Jan. 14, 2010? Check out Valentino: The Last Emperor, a documentary following around the iconic designer and his team as Valentino gives his final show and the label succumbs to takeover. At the heart of the story is the relationship between Valentino and his long-time business partner and companion, Giancarlo Giammetti. However, it is the fluttery Valentino seamstresses that really captivated me–how does one even learn to sew like that?! I wonder if they get a discount on the couture? The parade of glamorous gowns throughout the film kept me in constant awe (Oh! to wear a Valentino!) and seeing Valentino's complete creative process was so inspiring, that by the end of the film I felt completely heartbroken about the separation of Valentino Garavani and Valentino, the artist and his creation, the emperor and his world.

Crimes of Fashion
Designer Knockoff by Ellen Byerrum is the latest Lacey Smithsonian mystery. As a fashion reporter for a second-rate Washington D.C. newspaper, she investigates the disappearances of two young women. Occurring decades apart, they begin to seem related as Lacey delves into the contemporary fortunes and World War II era history of the Bentley fashion empire.
Lacey's Aunt Mimi left her a trunk of (now) vintage dresses, a "Bentley" suit, patterns, photos and letters from the 1940's. These provide clues to the mysterious fate of a talented designer who worked for the Bentley plant during the war.
Lacey continues to develop as a character – and to wage her ongoing battle against the monochrome suits that are the norm in Washington. Her relationship with her co-workers and a bevy of eccentric friends are a plus, as is insight into the strict clothing regulations during the war.
Style and Elegance
Today is the birth anniversary of Coco Chanel, one of the most important and influential designers of the 20th century. The very epitome of effortless French style, Chanel revolutionized the fashion world when she introduced men's clothing (slacks) for women's wear. Her signature looks – comfortable and simple yet elegant – included the dramatic use of costume jewelry (notably ropes of pearls), sportswear, collarless jackets paired with simple skirts and the "little black dress". She was the first designer to put her name on a signature perfume; Chanel No. 5 was created in 1921 and continues to be one of the most popular perfumes on the market.
Chanel's life story is the stuff of Hollywood – born into poverty, orphaned at age 12, raised by nuns, she rose to wealth and status through talent and hard work. Find out more about this fascinating, controversial (both the Nazi's and the Allies accused her of being a spy during World War II) woman through these great books:

Garbage Bags and Other RAGBRAI Fashion Tips
1) Garbage Bags. Forget your rain poncho? Grab a garbage bag (bigger is better), tear 3 holes in it – a big one for your head and two smaller ones on the sides for your arms – and you're good to go! No, they don't work very well if it's windy, but it does keep you a little bit dryer. Don't laugh – I actually worn this item, and was grateful to the guy who was handing them out!
2) Little lycra shorts. Everyone wears them, so who cares what you look liek? They actually are more comforatable. Plus, they come with secret padding and they air dry very quickly.
3) Helmet mirrors. Some people just can't get used to them, but these little magnetic attachments can be a real life saver. Inexperienced riders tend to turn their whole bike (and possibly into oncoming traffic) when they move their head to look back. There are just too many bicycles (10,000 plus) on the road, so the only safe direction is straight ahead. Mirrors really help, even when you have no makeup to check…

Two Year Follow-up of the Preservation Unicompartmental Knee Implant
Rent the article at a discountRent now
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Reported results of unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) have mixed reviews in comparison with results of tri-compartmental knee arthroplasty (TKA). We prospectively evaluated the short-term results (2 years) of a newer design of a UKA implant (Preservation UKA) with a cobalt–chromium femoral component and an all polyethylene tibial component. Seventy-two patients with intact ligaments and loss of only medial articular cartilage received the Preservation prosthesis. Data were obtained using WOMAC, Knee Society score (KSS), and standard radiographs. WOMAC scores improved by 24 points and KSS improved by 33 points at 2-year follow-up. Mean flexion increased by 4° to126° at 2 years. On X-ray, only one patient had a radiolucency. No fractures occurred. Two knees were revised due to clinical symptoms of medial compartment pain. This 2-year follow-up study of the Preservation UKA shows promising early results. Long-term data would be necessary to compare results with TKA or other unicompartmental replacements.

I have a photo and written on the back is "Tom Cooper family". I have another photo of a young man, and written on it was "Cooper". I believe that Thomas Austin Cooper died in Shelby County, Texas about 1935. I believe he was married to a Bridges at one time. I believe his father was Samuel Cooper and his mother was a Prestwood. One of my ancestors was Martha Caroline Bridges and another was Catherine Prestwood.

HE Abdulaziz Al-Ghurair, CEO of Dubai's Mashreq Bank, is optimistic about 2012, very optimistic. "Next year will mark a major turnaround for the United Arab Emirates.
"The real estate market has already stabilized and for the banking sector we expect 15 to 20% profit growth next year." According to Al Ghurair a growing number of Kuwaiti and Saudi investors are buying property in prime locations in Dubai. At the same time, trade and tourism is booming. "The banks have cleaned up their balance sheets, "The times when an individual could carry fifteen credit cards are definitely over."
Nevertheless retail banks must watch out not to become victims of their own success. Mashreq, Emirates NBD and Dubai Islamic Bank, to mention a few of the local market participants have massively increased their presence by establishing new branches and customer service centres. If real estate price really go up in 2012, then rents will soon follow, increasing opportunity costs for the retail banks. At the same time, the UAE central bank has stepped up restrictions for granting consumer loans and mortgages. For example, people can only sign up for a car loan if they earn at least Dhs5,000 or $1,363 per month and if they are able to pay down 20% of the vehicle's sale price.
The UAE property market might stabilize, with Abu Dhabi rentals in particular, as real estate service company Asteco confirmed in its latest report. But for the local stocks markets the outlook is still negative. Year-to-date, the Dubai Financial Market and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange have lost 14.42% and 8.29% respectively (as of the close of trading of October 6th). But even the market meltdown does not hinder Mashreq's CEO from being more optimistic than others. "Valuations are cheap, most listed shares are trading below book value," explains Al Ghurair. Mashreq is considering buying other institutions in the second half of 2012.
As trading volumes reached multiple year lows, massive flows of IPO are a thing from the past. Investors are also hesitating over entering the market as they await index provider MSCI's decision at the end of the year whether the UAE will be upgraded to emerging market status from frontier market. The good news is that MSCI's rival Russel Investments already has upgraded the UAE to emerging market status.
Regarding the developed markets, the Euro zone debt crisis still weighs on global sentiment, but Al Ghurair thinks even a worsening situation (such as a default in Greece) will have "very little impact" on the UAE's economic rebound.
A few months ago bank Emirates NBD, the Middle East's largest lender in relation to assets, increased its growth prospect for 2011 to 4.6% from 4.2%. Nevertheless, Gary Dugan, the CIO Private Banking CIO at, has mixed emotions about the world economy. "Undoubtedly there will be some impact on economic activity in the region (from the Eurozone debt crisis). However with the oil price holding up relatively well and most governments still committed to supporting their economies through spending the (Gulf Arab) region can probably look forward to growth in 2012 whilst other parts of the world are struggling with recession."

Former India coach Greg Chappell believes cricket's future lies in privately-owned Twenty20 club franchises around the world with Tests taking a back seat. Chappell, who was this week appointed as the new head coach of the Cricket Australia Centre of Excellence, said he could envisage cricket being organised along the lines of European football clubs. "I can see a future where a Mumbai club plays New York, plays London, plays Singapore," the former Test batsman told the Straits Times here. "There'll be club teams based all over the world and I think that's a good development. "We're going to get to the stage where it is like soccer - the players will play for their clubs and occasionally for their country. So there's always the possibility of conflict, like we see in soccer." The recent boom in Twenty20 cricket, sparked by the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) this year, has led to concern in some quarters about the future of traditional Test cricket. There are fears that the riches on offer to players in Twenty20 tournaments will make the next generation focus on the big-hitting need to flourish in the 20-over game rather than the more disciplined style of five-day Tests. Chappell said that if the game was to grow beyond its traditional borders, then Twenty20 was the format. "The relevance of five-day cricket to people in China, the United States and Europe just hasn't been there," he was quoted as saying. "But they can see the excitement of the short format." Chappell, a former captain of Australia, played 87 Tests and 74 one-day internationals for his country.

Excellent tour.
Reviewed by: KRISTA R, November 2014
Best part of my entire trip to Paris! Giverny was beautiful and one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life! Lunch was just perfect. Versailles was crowded but interesting and very beautiful. Learned some history from a passionate and loving guide who really allowed us to set the pace for our tour. For example we spent a little less time at Versailles because our group loved Giverny so much and we all decided to have a coffee break during the tour which was no problem at all. Met some wonderful people and had the best day! Highly recommend this tour.

The Importance of History in Genealogy Research
Tonights show takes on an important Topic; of the historical backdrop in Genealogy. Genealogy is a word used to describe a line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor to you. There are direct ancestors and others on the branch who are blood relatives. For me Genealogy is not only locating ancestors but profiling them through the historical context in which they lived. This is important especially with Native and African Ancestors whose history is mirred with movements they had no control over.

Action research is inquiry or research in the context of focused efforts to improve the quality of an organization and its performance. It typically is designed and conducted by practitioners who analyze the data to improve their own practice. Action research can be done by individuals or by teams of colleagues.

African and Native American Research with Angela Walton-Raji
in History
Genealogist Angela Walton-Raji has committed herself to sharing information with the descendants of the Freedmen of Indian Territory--which is now Oklahoma. She is the author of the book Black Indian Genealogy Research: African American Ancestors Among the Five Civilized Tribes. The book serves as a guide to researching the history and lives of the 20,000 Freedmen of Indian Territory, who have been deleted from American history. She is also the author of the http://african-nativeamerican.blogspot.com.
The Dawes Commission, named after Henry C. Dawes who chaired the commission, consisted of a process that would lead to a redistribution of land to those who already owned it among the Five "Civilized" Tribes. Understand that land was held in common by the Five Civilized Tribes. The Dawes Enrollment process was created to determine who would be eligible for allotted parcels of land. Eligibility involved providing "proof" that one had been a part of the tribe for several decades, and especially in those years immediately following the Civil War. So one had to prove that one had been a part of the Indian Community since 1866. For those whose ancestors were enslaved by members of the Tribes, (the Freedmen) they had to often provide proof that their former enslaver was a member of the tribe.
