Beautifully designed, the condo is artfully decorated with native Mexican art & pottery, hand-loomed fabrics, handcrafted cabinetry and tropical beach rattan furnishings.

A perfect day includes a leisurely stroll along fisherman's walk to El Centro where you can mix with tourists and locals alike. Walk 10 minutes for a beachside massage, to rent a kayak, parasail or to play in the sand and surf at La Ropa Beach. For an evening out, stroll to one of the 5 star dining establishments or locally owned beach spots, or if you prefer dining in, stock your kitchen and bar from the colorful Mercado (open-air market) or from one of the two modern super markets nearby. Taxi service is readily available with bargain price door-to door service. The local bus stops just steps away and is a fast, cheap and a flavorful way to get around!

Hi! We're Paul & Connie Sorensen. We love Zihuatanejo and spend 4 - 5 weeks during January and another 10 days or so during the late fall. We have been then nearly every month of the year...and love it anytime!!! We are still part of the working class, but continue to stay focused on the not so distant future when we can spend longer periods of time in paradise. We both work full time, Paul builds custom homes and I sell residential real estate. Something happens to you when you're there. The minute you step off the plane and feel the warm air, see the many smiling faces and you say to yourself, 'I'm home.' That is how it is for us.
Connie Sorensen purchased this condo in 2006
We completed our purchase in 2006 when it was brick and mortar. Paul, a contractor on Vashon Island, WA, supervised a local contractor to build our dreams in mid 2008. Together we designed the condo interior, shopped in Patzcuarro, Morelia and Zihua for furnishings and by December 2008 we loaded our Mexico car and took a road trip to our new vacation home! It was a great trip and we thoroughly enjoy our time in Zihua. We first began visiting Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo about 10 years ago and on our first trip bought a time share. As the years went by, we realized that Zihutanejo felt like home. We have never regretted our decision to purchase a vacation property and each year we feel more and more a part of the community.
The condo community is a wonderful group of folks from various backgrounds and the Zihua community is friendly, safe and full of local Mexican culture. We socialize with many of the other owners and renters whom we meet poolside. We love breakfast out at Casa Cafe or the Pancake House and dinners in so many places. Sundays at Playa Larga is a family affair among the Mexicans and we enjoy being part of that. Weekend nights are fun at the Basketball court in downtown Zihua by the water. There's always a ton of locals out enjoying the evening. La Ropa Beach is always a special treat when we camp out for the day at La Perla. There chairs are the best! I enjoy yoga or a massage at Pati's on La Ropa Beach. We hope you will come to love Zihuatanejo as we do.
We had a wonderful week in Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa! The weather was beautiful all week and the view from the condo and infinity pools is unbelievable. Thank you for sharing your home - we loved it and would love to come back! For other guests, if you have a chance to visit Playa Linda to see the crocodiles and birds and the iguanas - it is well worth the cab ride! We also enjoyed the superb snorkeling on Istapa Island - a short ferry ride from Playa Linda.

Lithium in 2014: Tesla Takes Center Stage
As many investors know, it turned out to be quite an interesting year for lithium.
As many investors know, it turned out to be quite an interesting year for lithium.
So said analyst Simon Moores in a report Monday. Also, a look at the possible Tesla-BMW partnership.
Market watchers have been positive on energy metals despite the state of the rest of the commodities market, and that trend looks to be continuing.
For investors following Australia's Orocobre, it isn't a surprise that the industrial metals company still expects to complete construction of its Salar de Olaroz project on time and on budget. Orocobre has been working hard to develop the Argentinian brine-based lithium project for some time now, and although its regular updates aren't groundbreaking, they've certainly given confidence to shareholders.
It's been a rough month for Quebec lithium producer RB Energy, which went from production to shutdown in a matter of weeks on exhausted financials. To learn more about what happened, Lithium Investing News spoke with the company's CEO, Richard Clark. He made it clear that despite the setback, he isn't giving up on North America's only lithium project.
Stria Lithium's president and CEO, Julien Davy, discusses the significance of recent metallurgical test results for the company. The results confirm that Stria can use lithium mineralization from its Pontax lithium project as feedstock for its new pilot plant.
After failing to secure additional funding to maintain its current operations, lithium producer RB Energy announced Wednesday that it has halted work at its Quebec lithium plant. The statement follows last week's news that the company has not completed a best-efforts offering "due to difficult market conditions."
Canada's Bacanora Minerals, is up 190 percent so far in 2014, and the company has plans to continue moving full steam ahead with the development of its Sonora lithium project. Bacanora announced on Tuesday that it would begin a "significant drilling and exploration program" to expand its resources at the Mexican project, already ranked among the largest bedrock resources in the world.
Lithium Corporation and Pure Energy Minerals have climbed around 600 percent this year, while Western Lithium has seen its share price gain a whopping 240 percent. To be sure, these lithium juniors picked the right state to build mines in, especially with this month's announcement that Tesla will be building its gigafactory there.
Jean Francois Magnan, technical manager for Nemaska Lithium, explains why the company's low-cost lithium hydroxide could be a boon for lithium-ion battery manufacturers.
Get our independent commentary on energy trends and companies delivered to your inbox.
The long-term outlook for Energy is positive and the worlds largest Energy producers are confident that the next few years will see a return to robust demand growth. The main growth markets for the metal are the BRIC countries, but demand from Western economies is expected to rise as well. The automotive and aerospace industries are seen as the main catalysts for new growth as manufacturers seek to reduce fuel consumption by creating lighter weight vehicles.
Energy Investing News is one of the leading providers of news and education on the Energy market. We pride ourselves on delivering quality, independent news to our investor audience.

friendly name
A friendly name is the title given to an application file, certificate or other IT asset so that a person easily understands and remembers it.
Configuration and change management tools
In a data center, a friendly name is a title given to an application file, certificate or other IT asset so that a human being can easily remember the name and perhaps even understand some basic information about the asset's purpose.
Friendly names are assigned to complement unique identifiers that are comprised of numeric or alphanumeric code by default. For example, if an administrator creates a new VMware virtual disk and the disk is named Windows 8-f001.vmdk, the administrator might give it a friendly name like FinanceLab4 to indicate that the virtual machine is the fourth server used in the finance department's development project.
Unlike unique identifiers, friendly names can be changed.

Manhattan, KS (Sports Network) - Rodney McGruder made 7-of-10 three-point shots en route to a career-high 24 points to push 11th-ranked Kansas State past UMKC, 80-64, at Bramlage Coliseum.
Will Spradling added a career-high 15 points, while Wally Judge supplied his first career double-double with 14 points and a career-best 11 rebounds as the Wildcats (10-3), bounced back from consecutive losses to Florida and UNLV.
"They came in here for the past 48 hours understanding losing is not acceptable," Wildcats head coach Frank Martin said of his team. "I told the team losing is like an epidemic; if you ever accept it, then you cannot beat it. You have to defeat it and the way you beat it is by attacking before it gets you."
Kansas State made 11-of-19 from beyond the arc in downing UMKC for the 15th time in 16 all-time meetings between the schools.
Jay Couisnard totaled 21 points and nine rebounds, while Spencer Johnson chipped in with 13 points for the Kangaroos (7-5), who had a brief two-game win streak snapped.
The hosts embarked on a 13-1 run to forge a 17-5 lead with just over 13 minutes remaining in the first half.
UMKC closed to within 25-18 before the Wildcats posted the next eight points to extend the lead to 15 on a McGruder three-pointer with 7 1/2 minutes left until the intermission.
The lead grew to 19 on a McGruder dunk and three-pointer in the final 80 seconds before Kansas State took a 44-29 advantage at the intermission.
Trailing by as many as 22 in the second half, UMKC drew to within 67-57 on a Johnson triple with 5:40 to play.
However, the Wildcats dashed any hopes of a dramatic comeback by scoring the next six points and cruising to victory over the final 3 1/2 minutes.

I recently started at a school to support the ICT Subject Leader in upgrading ICT resources. (I am extremely keen but am in no way a technician so am on a very steep learning curve!!). Unfortunately with a change of ICT Subject Leaders over the past 3 years plans have slipped and the governors are now pushing to get things moving along.
We are a first school with Nursery, KS1 and KS2 - total of 170 pupils.
The school has:
- RM Storebox
- 1 laptop trolley with 18 laptops (about 5 years old)
- 8 teacher laptops (from 5 years to 8 months old)
- about 30 PC's throughout classrooms and admin (some new, some VERY old)
- wireless network.
We have a technician who comes in once a week to deal with the really "techy" issues that I haven't manage to solve.
I've come in half way through the planning process but so far the school are looking to:
- Upgrade to CC4
- Upgrade wireless network (have had issues when children using laptops want to access their folders to save work and they are not all able to see their folder on the storebox. Have been advised that this is due to all 18 laptops logged on at the same time and wireless not able to cope?)
Opinions vary as to developing the ICT resources and these are the main ideas so far:
- Implement an ICT suite with 30 PC's AND
- Retain our existing laptop trolley & teacher laptops (our technician advises that our current laptops just need additional memory (1GB) and will be fine on CC4) ADVICE PLEASE?? AND
- Purchase an additional trolley with a mixture of laptops and netbooks - 15 on the trolley
Therefore resource for each Keystage at any given time during the day
- Replace laptops on current trolley & teacher laptops (if memory upgrade is not the way to go) AND
- Purchase 2 additional trolleys with a mixture of laptops and netbooks - 15 per trolley i.e. 30 new
Therefore go entirely with new laptops/netbooks with each Keystage having resource
Another issue is that the majority of PC's and Laptops are currently RM machines (apart from very old PC's). As I'm not an expert do we stick with RM or with the help/advice from county, resource our own PC's/laptops??
We have quite a large capital budget to use but obviously want to get the most for our money and more importantly want to get it right! At the moment their is no rolling plan to upgrade equipment so this is also something that we have to get in place, pronto!
I am sure there are many schools who have gone through this experience already and I would really appreciate some advice as to the way forward with ICT in schools. Am I old fashioned in leaning towards an ICT suite and maybe having only 1 or 2 laptop trolleys or is the entire laptop trolley/mobile approach the way forward????
PHEW! 10 out of 10 for getting this far!
Looking forward to some feedback please.

I want to add some spices etc., to my extract beer kit. Since I will not be boiling, how would I add these correctly, just simple pour them into the wort? Thanks
Pouring them into the wort might work ok, but most spices work better if boiled with the wort. I'd still try it though, I don't think it can hurt anything. Maybe think about trying a short boil (5-10 minutes). This shouldn't be enough to change the intended flavor of your kit very much, but still enough for the spices.
You say you're not boiling so I think you would want to do something to ensure your spices won't infect the wort with anything. Steeping the spices in some vodka to extract the flavours would probably be the best option.
In general, if you boil them then I would put them in at flameout.. if you can smell the spices than you've boiled them off.
I just recently added spices to my holiday ale by soaking them in 1/2 cup vodka for 30 minutes and than racking my beer onto it in the secondary.

Camping World to Honor Veterans by Flying Vast American Flags at SuperCenters
Posted By Good Sam On March 31, 2014 @ 12:22 pm In Club News | No Comments
[4]Camping World, the nation's largest RV and outdoor retailer, and Good Sam, the world's largest RV owners organization, announces a new project to install massive American flags at various Camping World SuperCenters across the country to honor veterans. The enormous flags are 30×60' or 40×80', depending on zoning regulations, and the poles are 130' tall. In many cases these will be the largest flying American flags in the surrounding area.
"Our company places extreme pride and value on our country and its veterans. A large percentage of our employees and also customers are veterans, and we want to honor them, their dedication to our country and to our local communities," said Marcus Lemonis, Chairman and CEO of Camping World and Good Sam. "By making this proud statement, our goal is to bring local communities together in celebration of everything that has been accomplished by veterans for our country."
Camping World welcomes veterans and the local community to attend the formal flag raising ceremony at SuperCenters that install the American flags. Employees are demonstrating their pride and excitement by going a step further to personalize the ceremonious procedure, such as having employees sign the gold ball topper on the flag pole.
By flying these American flags Camping World undertakes large responsibility, as the costly flags will require a great amount of work and maintenance, such as bringing flags in during severe weather and performing consistent examinations for rips and tears. In many instances, flag responsibilities will be designated to a specific employee to ensure the SuperCenter stays on top of flag upkeep.
Camping World SuperCenters in Tucson, AZ, New Braunfels, TX, Jacksonville, FL, Redding, CA and Lubbock, TX are among the first locations to display these massive American flags. Upcoming locations that are slated to raise these flags include Mesa, AZ, Coburg, OR, Ocala, FL, Valencia, CA, Meridian, ID and Lake Park, GA with many more to follow.

I have tried a variety of drugstore and department store eyebrow pencils, but I liked this one overall, even though I admittedly have not tried the MAC eyebrow product that it is compared with in these reviews.
It definitely did its job for me in filling my eyebrows. The mechanical applicator is easy to use and its thinness makes it easy for a precise application.
I am unsure why this product has a relatively low rating for packaging. The twisting cap worked fine for me.
The product lasted a bit longer for me than comparable drugstore/department store eyebrow pencils, so not sure about the complaints about little product.
I tried this product in medium brown, and I agree that it is a bit red in shade and would not work as well with someone who has more cool undertones. You can probably try to avoid the red by making finer strokes instead of heavy, long strokes (but you shouldn't be filling brows with a very heavy hand anyway).
I probably will try out the dark brown color next time to see if that one is less red than the medium, but I would still happily repurchase the define-a-brow product in general.

I got this after reading several reviews on YT,blogs about how this this pencil was a dupe for the Mac one. Being as the small area I live in I only have the option to order or drive to a Mac counter. So when I was out of my Strut pencil I happen to grab this one day. I was a little bummer they didn't have a color close to strut but,but I grabbed the dark brown & it works for when my hair isn't done. Overall this is a nice brow pencil & the comb on the end is a plus. I'll def keep it for a back up.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used to use this all of the time, and it's been awhile but I do remember that I loved it. It stays on, I love the little brush that comes with it, and it looks natural but also is dark enough for really sparse brows. Love.
When I first started using this product, much like other people's thoughts, I believed I had found a dup for MAC's brow pencil. After switching back and fourth between the two products, I have to say, not quite. I am someone with VERY FEW eyebrow hairs. I have to draw on my entire eyebrow, which means I need to be very careful of accidentally rubbing it off, or if someone accidentally hits my brows, I need something that is going to stay.
While this brow pencil would be good for someone who simply needs to fill in a bit, I'd say steer away if you are like me and need to literally draw on your eyebrows. It does not stay put as well as the MAC brow pencils by any means. I give the product a 4 as most people do have more eyebrow hairs than I do, and it would work perfectly fine for them.

I was previously using the Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil in the color Brunette when I unfortunately ran out. I was going crazy looking for a quick substitute that was similar to my beloved brow pencil and I must say, Maybelline Define a Brow is nearly identical. I LOVE the thin pencil because of allows you to make thin strokes for a more natural hair-like look. It's not too creamy to wear it looks fake and the Medium Brown color was a perfect match for me. AMAZING PRODUCT!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I tried this in medium and dark brown, medium is way to reddish but dark brown is a good ash brown and since it's not incredibly creamy it doesn't seem to go on to dark. Comb on the end is useless-every brow brush should come with a spoolie! Not sure how long it will last so we'll see if it's worth it but for someone that is never satisfied with the ashyness in brown brow pencils I think I would keep purchasing it. Some are saying dark brown has been discontinued-I live in Canada and there are still a lot here but maybe they will get rid of it. My other fav brow pencil is universal dark brown by annabelle, it is pretty much the exact same as this one.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this pencil! I used to splurge and get the Anastasia brow pencil for $20 and this is for the fraction of the cost! For 6 bucks who can beat that!
I do love how it's thin and waxed based and glides smoothly making it more natural looking.
One of the cons is the comb on the end of the pencil. I wish there was a mascara tip brush at the end but hey I can use another brush.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Let me start by saying that I LOVE this brow liner. I don't think I could go back to any other after using this one. I've never tried MAC's, though I have heard that it's very good and comparable. It's a very thin pencil, which I love because it allows for exact precision. It can be hard to find sometimes, I hope it isn't discontinued.
The one CON is that the shades err on the warm side, meaning that they aren't perfect for people with cool undertones, like me. It doesn't look bad, and I still use it, but the dark brown is more red than ashy brown. It may not be suitable for ladies with very cool skin tones.
I'm quite surprised by the wonderful reviews. The color is way off. I believe I got the darkest brown available (forgot the name) and there is this reddish tint to it that makes my eyebrows look horrible. Perhaps the color is just not right for me?
I have this in Dark Blond. It works fine, I'm happy with the color and the texture, but the fact that it is so incredibly thin - it's about 1/3 the diameter of most automatic eye pencils - means that there is very little actual product inside the pencil tube. I end up using a couple millimeters every time I do my brows, which means this will only last me about a couple weeks or so. I find myself having to twist up more product constantly because each swipe across the brow uses up so much. At $7-8 per pencil, this can get really expensive. A fine pencil, but way overpriced for how little product you're actually getting here. They should have given you a couple more replacement sticks and made it so you can load them in yourself, like an automatic lead pencil that you use in school!

Camry itself got a life cycle change last year, so the hybrid does not suffer for archaic styling. But it looks a little too much like a regular Camry. History tells us that the Civic hybrid did not find as many takers because of little differentiation with its regular version. And Prius saw some demand initially for the same. Barring the redesigned grille that is sleeker in the hybrid version and different positioning of the fog lamps beneath the headlights, there is little that differentiates the two cars. The commonalities extends to the interiors as well. Flanked by a big chunky steering wheel, there is a feeling of premiumness. But it lacks the flair of the European sedans like Passat or the new Superb. Space at the rear is more than adequate but the hybrid has a smaller boot as the battery pack of the electric motor beneath the boot. A few notable exceptions in terms of features include a sun roof and a couple of airbags less. Camry and its hybrid has 4 when the industry is 6.
It is and significantly so. Anybody buying a hybrid has to reconcile to the fact that the car will not be happy if you play sport and let your hair down. This is not meant for that. It is for those who value fuel economy, love cruising for miles and take pride in being generous with the environment. The hybrid Camry uses a 2.5 -litre petrol engine complimented by a 650-volt electric motor that is in turn powered by a 245-volt nickel-metal hydride battery. The car will use the petrol engine only when you accelerate. While cruising at a constant speed, the engine would be put on idle and the electric motor will do its work, increasing the fuel economy. The battery is recharged each time you brake as the motor taps the kinetic energy lost when decelerating. The car's central computer constantly balances the charge left in the battery to ensure it never runs out of power. The combined power of this set up is a par for the course 205 Ps, which means it is capable of doing decent threedigit speeds. And other essential facets like suspension and chassis are also tuned towards giving you a superior ride quality.
Yes it is. We kept a light foot on the pedal within the city and the car gave us a fuel economy of 13 kpl. For a 2-tonne saloon and a petrol engine, this is a very good return. When out on the highway we put it on cruise control at 110 kph and got an economy of nearly 17kpl. The car offers an EV-only mode where it is run through the motor. That mode would not use petrol at all and operate like an all electric car. But it has limitations. You cannot do speeds of over 40 kph and the battery needs a charge of over 60% for the mode to kick in.
The best thing about the Camry hybrid is that it is assembled in India, which means it attracts less duty than Prius. That makes it quite affordable at under Rs. 30 lakh (ex-showroom). The problem is that any other diesel sedan in this category would also give you similar bang for your buck at the fuel station. And it will still cost you marginally less. Till the time the government decides to give tax breaks to hybrids, it is difficult to see a long queue at the showrooms.

Hi all,
I'm going to be rolling out Windows 7 on some news PCs. To save time, I'm planning to build the installation of the OS apps on one PC and get the supplier to image the machines. I've got a few questions that I'd appreciate some help with:
1 - if I use a Windows 7 trial to install the OS with, can I then convert the key to a KMS key? We are going with the new MS Agreement, but I want to get started before things arrive. If so how do I do this?
2 - is there an easy way to set up a 'default' profile? With XP machines, I use a specifc account to build the local profile, then log on as another domain user and copy the profile across to the 'Default User' profile folder
3 - Are there any specifc things I need to do to a Windows 7 PC before imaging it?

Spring Break Hands-on Happenings: Down on the Farm
Spring Break Hands-on Happenings: Down on the Farm
Mon April 7, 2014 - Fri April 11, 2014 1-4 p.m.
Spring Break Hands-On Happenings are in full bloom at the Kalamazoo Valley Museum with "Down on the Farm" April 7-11. Come for FREE farm-themed crafts from 1-4 pm daily. Farmers' work is never done, but spring is a special time, when baby animals are born, hay fields green up, and plowing begins! These programs highlight our special exhibit, Michigan's Heritage Barns: An Artist's Perspective, where farm implements from our collection will also be on display. Families will find a variety of free hands-on crafts focused on different aspects of farm life each day. The crafts are also inspired by different books which will be read during the programs.
On Monday, April 7th, make animal puppets, costumes, and decorations taken from Julia Donaldson's comical book "What the Ladybug Heard." Create a collage hen, assemble a flying duck, make a woolly sheep, put together a jumping-jack dog, make a cat mask, assemble a piggy bank, stencil a farm animal puzzle, and color a riding horse, a cow bell, and a ladybug fan.
Tomie DePaola's book "Strega Nona's Harvest" is in the spotlight on Tuesday, April 8th for crafts about harvest time. Join us as we plant seeds, fold a seed packet, decorate a garden journal, color a watering can, color vegetable markers, fold a basket, decorate a harvest placemat, decorate a moon and star potholder, color a garden hat, and decorate garden tools.
Barns, Chicken Coops, and Homes are the inspiration behind this day full of farm structures. Hear how three chickens find their way from the coop to the farm house in Leslie Helakoski's book "Big Chickens Fly the Coop." Assemble a silo, fold a doghouse, decorate a barn picture frame, fold a chicken coop, scratch a farmhouse ornament, fold a rocking chair, color chicken puppets, scratch a tree house design, assemble a tool shed, and decorate a birdhouse, all on Wednesday, April 9th.
On Thursday, April 10th, explore tractors and more and enjoy "Otis" by Loren Long. Discover the relationship that exists between Otis the tractor and his best friend the calf. Color an Otis tractor puppet, assemble a tractor with wheels, fold a windmill, assemble a calf puppet, color a pick-up truck, solve the yoke puzzle, assemble a 3D tree, color a cowboy hat, stencil a tractor bag, and decorate a farm picture frame.
Finally, on Friday, April 11th, follow the lives of the people and animals that live on the farm in Elisha Cooper's book "Farm." From chores to the changing of the seasons and the habits of the animals, life is never dull on the farm. Make farm family puppets, decorate a bandanna, stencil a farm picture, decorate a butterfly fan, make cat and dog masks, decorate a fly swatter, make a scarecrow costume, create a bird and nest, make corn husk dolls, and try your hand at taking corn off the cob.
Visit our website to learn more about the Michigan Barns, planetarium shows, and Challenger Learning Center experiences available during Spring Break.

Dark ages? Maybe a little gray.Posted: August 2, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: newspapers, Records, Relatives 3 Comments
Oh, dear. Should I really quote the already-widely-quoted Mormon Times article about librarian Curt Witcher's speech and the coming genealogical Dark Age?
But ignoring it is a little like visiting Chicago on a certain day in 1871 and neglecting to mention they'd had a fire. So many points and posts! Randy Seaver at GeneaMusings did a nice summary, in which James Tanner's careful reasoning stood out, as usual.
So here's my only two cents: As a former writer of newspaper articles, I recognize the technique of cherry-picking eye-catching quotes to make a snappy story. Not to say that this reporter turned in a bad story. I'm just saying that we as readers have to be aware when our hot buttons are being pushed, slow down and read carefully.
For instance, there's the alarming quote: "People are losing interest and focus on keeping the thoughts and the words for future generations." On second read, this is a bit unclear, and the reporter didn't expand upon just what Mr. Witcher meant by it. If it means that the rush to digitize may be leaving important records in the dust, well, that's a definite concern.
But if it means that we as individuals are losing this focus, I think the jury's out. Certainly the rich profusion of genealogy blogs indicates an interest in sharing our personal thoughts and research. And yet (again): How are we archiving ourselves? Not an idle question … I wrote for an Internet startup in the dark ages of 1998 and can testify to the pain of belatedly realizing that many of my "clips" are no longer clippable!
So although I count myself among the hopeful, I appreciate Mr. Witcher's remarks (as reported) as a timely wakeup call. We are living in an age of wrenching transitions, and we need to be keeping an eye on the repositories as they negotiate these changes. And on ourselves, too.
A dose of well-placed concern can be a good thing.
Reunions and research, perfect togetherPosted: July 20, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Relatives Leave a comment
This week the Archaeologist attends a gathering of her husband's tribe. With five family groups plus one matriarch represented, it qualifies as a reunion, if not one of those massive roundups of descendants that I hope to attend one day. (Or organize, if I get crazy enough.)
Reunions, large or small, are where the family genealogists get a lot of work done.
Of course the point is to spend rewarding time with family, and I wouldn't promote a lot of family harmony if I spent the entire reunion with a tape recorder and a magnifying glass. But these are occasions where nosing around about family business is part of the fun, and genealogy is definitely on the program of festivities.
Some of the basic housekeeping tasks I try to accomplish include:
• Getting identities and background information for old photos;
• Going over recent research finds with relatives to see if they shake loose any additional memories;
• Showing off family group sheets to younger relatives who ask about them. It's great to take these opportunities with little kids who are genuinely curious. Five minutes or so is probably what most younger children can sit still for, but who knows? Those five minutes might uncover a budding genealogist down the road.
It's nice to think about a summer filled with families sharing memories – and information. If you have family reunions, what do you try to accomplish for your research while you're there?
TimelinesPosted: July 13, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Rants and riffs, Relatives 4 Comments
I was mucho enjoying Dick Eastman's review of the photography compilation The Last Muster: Images of the Revolutionary War Generation by Maureen Taylor. Some Revolutionary War veterans lived into the dawn of the age of photography, and Taylor's book collects as many of their images as she could track down. It's jarring to consider Continental Army soldiers posing for a photographer. Yet there they are, very old, often frail, but living links to a legendary past.
Time and generations are fluid, a point we often miss because of internal assumptions. Recently at a dinner with old friends, a trivia challenge was thrown down: Who is the earliest president to still have living grandchildren?
Good one! I was trying to think of presidents with considerably younger wives or second marriages. My guesses were Theodore Roosevelt or just possibly Grover Cleveland (the only president who got married in the White House! More trivia!).
But the answer, apparently, is John Tyler (1790-1862), president from 1841-45, or forty years before Cleveland. As of 2009 there were two living Tyler grandsons through his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler (1853-1935): Lyon Jr., born in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin, born in 1928. A jaw-dropper, but upon consideration, an understandable genealogy tale. It's a not-unprecedented combination of longevity and fertile second marriages to much younger wives — in Tyler's case, Julia Gardiner, 30 years his junior and the mother of Lyon Gardiner Tyler.
I saw another example of this a couple of weeks ago in the story of a (living) nephew of a Civil War veteran who worked to replace the marker on his uncle's grave. This, too, was a tale of two marriages and two succeeding generations of males producing children late in their lives.
While there is nothing quite that extreme in my own family tree, there does seem to be a pattern of later-than-usual marriages. Our timelines are a bit stretched out, as a result. When my 12-year-old had to make a family tree a few years ago, the teacher couldn't help noticing that she had a grandfather born in 1913, the sort of date most of the other kids were putting down for the births of their great-grandparents.
But families don't always reproduce on trend. It is a useful thing to remember the next time we're trying to figure out a time frame in which to search for Ancestor X. Better not say, "She couldn't possibly have been so-and-so's grandchild!" until we're sure that's really true.
On free lunches (or the lack of them)Posted: June 30, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Rants and riffs, References, Relatives 2 Comments
My Google alert for genealogy turned up some alarm this past week about the dangers of relying too heavily on the Internet for genealogy research.
I'd just add that the belief in a Big Rock Candy Mountain of genealogy wonders predates the arrival of Ancestry.com. A lot of people love the idea that somewhere, somehow, all the genealogy records they need will be in a single place. If they evolve beyond a casual interest in genealogy, they soon find out that:
1. People generate all sorts of records in all sorts of places, some of which don't share their records with big repositories, whether out of inertia or sheer desire to be annoying.
2. If you go back far enough, people didn't generate much in the way of records, period. In which case no "central repository" is going to give you everything you need, anyway.
3. The way home to Kansas, Dorothy, is with your own two feet. You just gotta belieeeeveee.
When I first started my genealogy quest, Internet databases were practically nonexistent. But the Big Rock Candy Mountain idea was still out there.
I'd often talk to a relative about setting up an interview, only to be told that I simply HAD to journey to Salt Lake City (or order up a couple of FHL microfilms) and I'd find everything I needed to know. It was funny how people never saw themselves as my most important genealogy source. No, there had to be a Big Universal Official Source somewhere.
So I wouldn't say the Internet caused this situation, although it certainly has intensified things. The problem is the myth of a one-stop solution, and it's worth a good rant.
Because getting past this idea of the Universal Genealogy Bat Cave is so important. It's such a barrier to creative thinking and problem solving. And once it drops by the wayside, a lot of supposedly impregnable brick walls can come tumbling down.
Surprise! Maggie's 91st birthdayPosted: June 15, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Articles, Haigneys, NY, Relatives 1 Comment
I hit a gold mine this morning in Ancestry.com's newspaper image database for the Times-Record of Troy, N.Y. Out of the blue, too!
This database had disappointed me before. However, a chance tweak of the search form this morning turned up so much stuff, and so unexpectedly, that it's worth another post or two about tweaking search forms and defying expectations. (You've been warned.)
For now, I'm having a blast working my way through the treasure trove of clippings. They feature my great-great aunts, Margaret [Haigney] Roache and Mary [Haigney] Walker, and my great-great uncle, Martin T. Haigney.
Many of the clips are from a local-news page that took the terms "local" and "news" to lengths that are unimaginable today. When I studied journalism, we would talk about empathizing with our readership (yes, it was a while ago). Even so, that didn't mean covering stories like a college sophomore "spending the holiday vacation with his parents," or Mrs. So-and-so's hospitalization from a broken hip. The news business hasn't been that personal for a long, long time.
But back in the 1950s and early 1960s, news was extremely personal in the Troy Times-Record, and what good luck for me. I've got a lot of new leads to pursue on those summertime genealogy day trips I was musing about a couple of days ago.
In the meantime, listen to this Very Important News Item from 1961 about my great-great aunt Margaret:
Mrs. Margaret Roach prepared a birthday party yesterday.
She baked a cake and set the table for the party which was for herself. It was her 91st birthday.
The wisp of a woman, who weighs less than 90 pounds, lives alone at 2509 2nd Ave. Many of the friends whom she has been associated with throughout the years were present. She was born in Watervliet … She now lives alone and cooks, sews, shops and does about everything else for herself. She voted at the polls last November because she felt it her duty. In her leisure time, she reads and is up to date on the various news happenings. She wears glasses because of a cataract operation performed one year ago, but her eyesight is still as keen as her hearing.
There is a TON of other terrific stuff in the story, including biographical details about Margaret, her late husband James, her father and her siblings. Above all, it has those wonderful personal details that form a perfect snapshot of Margaret, still truckin' along and throwing herself birthday parties into her 90s.
The unnamed reporter who covered this nearly 50 years ago couldn't have known what a big favor his little human-interest story would do for me and my genealogy research. But thanks anyway!
Treasure Chest Thursday: Letter Full of MemoriesPosted: May 27, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Relatives, Treasure Chest Thursday 1 Comment
The word is out that I'm a sucker for old stuff, so I'm a leading candidate for a call when people are cleaning out their filing cabinets. Not that I mind. Can anyone appreciate orphaned manila folders the way I do?
Several years ago, my mother-in-law gave me a manila folder labeled LYNCH SURNAME, containing some of my father-in-law's genealogy notes. It isn't a thick folder because my father-in-law wasn't the genealogist of record in his generation. That would be his cousin Eileen, whose career as a dedicated researcher and volunteer probably warrants its own book, never mind a separate blog post.
The treasure of the folder is a draft of a letter that I presume my father-in-law eventually sent in response to a query by his genealogist cousin about their Beatty forebears. It contains some interesting notes on the family, along with a couple of priceless anecdotes.
• "I never knew my granddad Beatty except as 'Dick' Beatty. He was a singing teacher and used singing books w/numbers instead of the musical symbols as is used today. I have seen some of these books." (This doesn't sound exactly like shape note singing, which my father-in-law mentioned his grandfather teaching, and which does use note symbols — but I sure wish I'd seen these books, too!)
• "I think I mentioned to you the occurrence where Jim Bob crawled up into a hollow tree and Bill having seen his father chop rabbits out of a tree, proceeded to start chopping about where Jim Bob's head was. Their mother our grandmother missed the boys and went looking for them. She found them before Bill cut too deeply into the tree and almost surely would have killed Jim Bob."
That last story sounds like it came straight out of a novel, which is not surprising. Stories like that don't grow on trees. Even hollow ones.
Is that my great-uncle's play in your catalog, sir?Posted: May 19, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Germany/Austria, libraries, Relatives, Rudroffs Leave a comment
I have a large, untidy pile of intriguing genealogy research questions I mean to figure out someday. One involves whether my mother's uncle Georg Rudroff copyrighted a play in 1909.
My mother always said her Uncle George was a character. He was my grandfather's older brother, the one who left home first. He emigrated to New York City from Kottweinsdorf, Germany in 1896, 30 years before Grandpa did. My mother described him as a tavern keeper, the occupation listed on his 1940 death certificate. At other times he was a drug company clerk and a Brooklyn Rapid Transit motorman.
He also was a bit stage-struck, according to Mom. She was a little vague on this point, although she once mentioned that he wrote songs and tried to shop one of them to Kate Smith, who was not interested.
A few months ago when I was supposed to be working (shhh!), I got bored and plugged my mother's maiden name into this search engine at the Library of Congress. Four results popped up, one citing an unpublished play in German by Georg Rudroff. (Two of the others involve genealogical works in German by Arno Rudroff, an expert on all things Rudroff.)
I emailed the Library of Congress to ask how I might go about reading this play. It's in manuscript form and I'd have to go to Washington to take a look at it. So for now, I don't know whether my Georg is the author, if it's possible to be certain of that.
What is certain is that in 1909, someone named Georg Rudroff copyrighted a play called Schwer Erkämpft (militärisches Volksstück in 4 akten). That roughly translates to Terrible Struggle (a military play in four acts).
Using "play" for "Volksstück" isn't very helpful, because the Volksstück is a theatrical form with no real equivalent in today's American theater. It was a populist work in which dialect was used to score dramatic and satiric points. A Volksstück might use a country-bumpkin character to poke fun at hoity-toity types, or trendy fashions. I can only imagine how a "military Volksstück" might look. Maybe Georg's play was a forerunner of Catch-22?
Until we go on our oft-discussed trip to D.C., I'll just have to keep wondering.
In the meantime, all I can say is: Try a surname search in the Library of Congress catalog. You never know.

Ten best patios on the 16th Street Mall
Editor's note: In this week's cover story, we take a look at the 16th Street Mall, which is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this month. In honor of that big birthday, we're bringing back our list of the favorite patios on the mall.
Source: thekitchencommunity.com
Denver's 16th Street Mall has never looked better. This mile-long pedestrian oasis runs through the heart of downtown and is filled with shopping, dining and entertainment options. But the very best way to enjoy it is sitting at one of the outdoor patios that line the stretch, enjoying a snack, a drink (or three) and the best people-watching in the city. Here, in no particular order, are the ten best patios on the 16th Street Mall. Get out and enjoy them before the weather turns.

Sometimes you need a yard-high glass of beer, and with the world's largest selection of draft beer, the Yard House patio is one of your best bets on the 16th Street Mall -- especially if you're just getting out of work in one of the nearby buildings. Check out the limited draft list and bottle offerings while enjoying the frenzied energy of the post-work crowd.
9. Marlowe's, 501 16th Street
Natalie Gonzalez for Westword
By day, Marlowe's is a place where deals are made and hands are shaken -- but in the late afternoon, this turns into a happy-hour haven, packed with downtown professionals and mall strollers. The fun continues long into the night, due to an extended happy hour with half-price draft beers and martini specials.
8. Tilted Kilt, 1201 16th Street
Natalie Gonzalez for Westword
Let's be honest: The tubes of beer, garlic fries and platters of fish and chips are a draw -- but people are really coming for the servers dressed like Catholic-school dropouts. For some, it doesn't get any better than hanging out on a sprawling patio in the sunshine and being taken care of by the cast of Britney Spears's "Baby One More Time" video. And for others, there are plenty of distracting flat-screens.

Thank you PCH for all the FUN opportunities to WIN amazing cash and prizes! You all make DREAMING fun and you also make DREAMS come true. I cannot thank you enough, but I sure will try. Thanks for all you do.
Greetings and good morning. I'd like to be $100.00 richer. It would help towards a bill I am trying to pay off. Not a big one-just over $1000.00-but anything would help. =^.^=

Good morning. Good luck to everyone
Hello PCH gang, I pray that I win , I play all of the games hoping that I am chosen, it would change my life forever!
It will be nice to meet the Prize Patrol in person. Like Danielle says "Believe and visualize". I trust what she says. BELIEVE!! KNOW!! It will happen. To invest back to PCH with winning is a great feeling, ask Dave.
Congrats to Mr Walker and as for PCH Staff I have so much respect for the wonderful work you have done to change people life. As for me I have been entering pch sweepstakes since 2007 online, buy phone, by postal mailing, ect… But until now I can't beat the odds of winnings but I have reasons to not gave up, I'm tired of living in my friends house with my 5 children and it's hard to find work in Ocala and I don't even have money to move to another state. Winning will mean so much for me and my family. I pledge to my family to enter until I win and after my winning my husband and other family members will enter the contest because they wll see pch is real.
All I need is to win something and I will continue to work harder in order to achieve my goals.
