When I was interviewed recently about the Wall Street protests by Triple J and Brisbane's ZZZ, I stressed their significance as symbolic politics but expressed doubts about comparisons being made with both the Arab Spring revolts and the radical movements of the 1960s. Yet since these interviews the protests have grown and spread across America in a way that does compel some serious speculation that a new movement for social change is developing. Participants and commentators from my generation (broadly speaking the baby boomers) are heartened by the number of young people involved.
These young people are witnessing a massive decline in job opportunities at the very time that many of them have increasing debt due to heightened student loans. They also face a world in which the richest 1% prosper while the middle class shrinks, working class salaries are effectively cut, the official poverty rate is now above 15% (whereas ten years ago it was at 11%) and black rates of poverty and incarceration signal an intensifying racial divide. The protestors in Wall St. want to turn that world around, want the financiers to be held accountable for the wreckage they have created, want a more equal society and one that does not squander its wealth on the military industrial complex and imperial adventures abroad. Sounds like the Sixties? At one level, yes, but at another not quite.
For a start, of course, the 1960s in America were a time of economic prosperity. The radical dreams of that decade were fuelled, in part, by a boom economy and an optimism of spirit that sprang from a world of opportunity. There was, to be sure, poverty and racism and these were central issues for organisations like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). And here is where the key difference between the radical Sixties and Occupy Wall Street lies – organisation. Occupy Wall Street has not yet spawned a genuine movement because it lacks organisations with clear goals and clear leaders. Paradoxically, this is also what makes it refreshing and reminiscent of what could be called the anarchist and countercultural spirit of the 1960s.
Without organization, leadership, clear strategies and goals, the protests will, I fear, fail to produce the sorts of radical movements we saw in the 1960s. Nonetheless, the fact that they are happening at all and that they are drowning out the babble from the Tea Party is enough reason to hold out hope that a radical politics can be revived in America.

Seven days left and counting.....and so far one goalkeeper. Glad to see that at least the club does have its sights set further afield than than Celtic Park! I wonder if we have wasted too much time chasing the proverbial rainbow in Scotland? If we don't land a proven goalscorer by 1 Feb the writing is on the wall. But even if we do manage to get someone of note, Hughton will need to adjust the tactics to support him and give him the kind of service he likes and thrives on. Hasn't happened this season with Holt has it?

If you're reading this, you're probably thinking about becoming a real estate agent. Or you already are one and have been practicing for years or even decades. In either case, it's time that someone highlighted all the hard work it takes to follow this career path.
After all, most of us have heard someone, somewhere casually announce, "But ANYONE can be a real estate agent!"
That's simply not true. Becoming a real estate agent takes a lot of determination and hard work (a lot more than we could fit into one infographic, in fact). Whether you're looking to get into the biz or are a practicing agent wanting to share your experience with others, this infographic from Point2 is for you.

A father's pain: Huh sitting outside Jindo gymnasium where he has been waiting for some three months as recovery operations on the ferry continue. - AFP
JINDO: When steel worker Huh Hong-hwan heard his teenaged daughter might be trapped in a sinking ferry, he didn't hesitate.
He jumped in his car and drove, sick with anxiety and panic, for five hours down to the southern island of Jindo where the rescue operation for South Korea's worst peacetime disaster was gearing up.
Nearly three months later, he's still there.
"I never thought I would be waiting for her this long," the 50-year-old said at a gymnasium that has been his home since the 6,825-tonne Sewol ferry capsized on April 16 with 476 passengers and crew.
"I'm totally exhausted, but parents can't give up on their children even if the whole world does," Huh said.
He is one of around 30 relatives who have maintained a bitter, defiant vigil in Jindo, as divers continue the increasingly desperate, dangerous search for the last remaining bodies trapped in the sunken vessel.
Just over 300 people died, the vast majority high school students on an organised outing.
A total of 172 were rescued before the ferry sank and a massive recovery effort involving hundreds of divers working in near zero visibility has since retrieved 293 bodies.
But 11 victims – including Huh's daughter – are still unaccounted for.
Any hope of finding survivors inside the upturned vessel vanished within days of the accident, but the families of those missing are refusing to give up the search for a body they can bury and grieve over.
The last body to be recovered was more than two weeks ago on June 24 and there is no guarantee that the 11 missing are even inside the ferry.
Several bodies have been picked up dozens of kilometres away, suggesting a significant number may have been pulled out to sea by the powerful currents.
The 11 include five high school students and two teachers, one crew member and three other passengers.
In order to maintain a full-time vigil, some family members have quit their jobs and the lonely wait has taken its toll.
In the immediate aftermath of the sinking, the Jindo gymnasium had resembled a refugee camp, packed with distraught relatives and a small army of volunteers helping to feed and comfort them.
But now the place is nearly empty and the default setting is of absolute silence, bar the muffled sound from a giant TV screen.
The screen had been brought in months ago to feed live pictures of the recovery effort at the offshore disaster site. Now it is tuned to a news channel showing updates from the World Cup in Brazil.
There is nothing for the exhausted-looking family members to do, beyond sitting or walking aimlessly around the echoing gym.
"I never imagined the simple act of waiting could be this painful," said Kwon Oh-bok, a 59-year-old who lost a younger brother, sister-in-law and six-year-old nephew in the disaster.
His days revolve around sleeping on a mattress laid out on the floor of the gym, eating meals provided by volunteers, attending daily meetings with rescue authorities, and endless hours of waiting.
"I'm so worried I'll be the last one left," he said, echoing a fear shared by many of the remaining relatives.
Kwon bristled at the idea of giving up, and said any move to call time on the recovery effort would feel like a death sentence.
"No one would give up if they were in my shoes," he said, urging the government to step up search operations.
In the first few weeks, dozens of bodies were being brought up, but only five were recovered in the entire month of June.
Two divers have died and many others have had to be replaced because of sickness or exhaustion.
Although Huh insist he will never give up, he admits to moments of doubt when he fears his daughter's remains have been lost for good. — AFP

I am desperately looking for help. My MacBook Pro (Mid 2012, 13 inch, i5, 500GB HD, 4 GB RAM)
It's annoyingly slow most of the times and the "beach ball" of death appears regardless of the program I use. It sometimes appears even if I am in Finder and try to open a folder. After many seconds, the ball disappears, and I can operate the software. Periodically it comes back. Quicktime, Chrome, Safari, all programs experience this problem.
I have already clean installed Mountain Lion and even formatted the hard drive. But the problem persists. All hard drive and memory check utilities pass tests, including Voltans Smart Utility and Rember. Disk Util also says hard drive is ok and no problem found. No Anti virus, MacKeeper, Flip4MAC or Easy find.
Activity Monitor does not show any process with abnormally high CPU usage while the beach ball is busy with its dance of death!

Had this same problem, went through everything i could find on the net, nothing wrong with my software or settings though, so took it back to apple who did a wipe clean and re install, still same problem, then replaced a front sensor? cable...still was no good so they replaced the hard drive now it works fine.
All the tests said my previous hard drive was ok too.
Hope this helps and hope yours is under warranty. seems a small number of machines are affected this crops up occasionally if you google it.

Sestak Won't Be Attending Obama Penn. Event
So has Joe Sestak forgiven President Barack Obama's efforts to nudge him out of the Democratic Senate primary he just won? And has the president forgiven Sestak for blabbing that the White House offered him an (albeit unpaid) job to stay out of the race?
Either way, the two won't be kissing and making up today. When Obama arrives in Pittsburgh to give a speech on the economy, Sestak will be on the other side of the state, in Philadelphia.
The reason for his absence wasn't immediately clear. A White House spokesman, Bill Burton, said Sestak was not invited because he does not represent the area. Because this is an official, not a political, event, only statewide officials and members of the Congress from the area were invited, Burton said.
But a spokesman for Sestak, Joe Langson, said today that the congressman was invited to attend the Obama event but that he was unable to because he had already committed to attending an event for an AIDS clinic network and receiving a union endorsement.
"Congressman Joe Sestak would be honored to stand with President Obama, and looks forward to having the opportunity in the near future," the campaign said in a statement. "The congressman … regrets that he will be unable to attend the event in Pittsburgh."
Last month, Sestak beat the White House-endorsed incumbent, Sen. Arlen Specter, in the Democratic primary. Along the way, Sestak mentioned to a reporter or two that the White House had offered him a high-level job to stay out of the race. After he won, Republicans called the matter a scandal, and the White House was forced to issue a report detailing how Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used former President Bill Clinton as an intermediary to offer the unpaid position to Sestak. White House Counsel Bob Bauer concluded that nothing improper took place. Republicans remain unconvinced.
UPDATE: Burton later said Sestak was invited to a meeting of political leaders with Obama before the speech and welcome to stay for the speech itself. Specter was traveling aboard Air Force One with the president, so perhaps Sestak was looking to avoid an awkward encounter.

ESF 514: New England Flora
Synonym:66380 (for web registration)
Faculty:Peter Palmiotto
Semester:Spring 2010
Meeting Schedule:Fridays 1/22 - 5/7 (1:00PM-3:59PM)
Competency Areas: Natural Communities II
Restricted to ES masters students; others by written permission of instructor provided to Registrar?s Office via Antioch Email.
The flora of New England is one of the best studied and well known in the world. Over 4000 species of plants can be found in this region. Because of the unique topographic, edaphic and successional diversity of central New England, the greatest collection of species in the northeast can be found within a 50 mile radius of the shared borders of VT, NH, and MA. This course focuses on the identification and taxonomy of woody and herbaceous vascular plants of central New England through the examination of the plants? anatomical and physiological characteristics. The course will begin with the study of evergreen woody plants, followed by deciduous woody plants (both winter and summer characteristics), and ending with spring wildflowers. Lectures and local field excursions will be used to convey information. Students will utilize plant characteristics (e.g., twig, bud, bark, leaf, and flower characteristics) in conjunction with taxonomic keys to assist with identification of the flora.

Narcotics throughout pregnancy?
Hi! My name is Michelle and I'm pregnant with my third child, 23w5d and have had Fibromyalgia since 2006 and have been on Narcotic pain medication since. This time when I found out I was pregnant I was on 75mcg of the Fentanyl/Duragesic patch. I abrubtly stopped my fibromyalgia medications, but not the narcotic. I was in the process of weaning off the duragesic when I got to the point to where I was about to stop all together and the pain came rushing in. I did get off the fentanyl patch and am now taking Oxycontin 40mg three times a day for the pain. My OBGYN doesn't like the idea at all!! My Peri is okay with it and my family Dr. is the one that prescribes it to me without a problem. I have measured the benefits to the risks. Yes, I am scared of my precious baby going through withdrawel when she is born, but on the other hand I suffer from such pain it affects my daily functioning. I guess I'm just looking for others that have taken prescription pain meds and the outcomes.

Like treasure hunting?
If so, you may want to check out the added bonus at the La Grande High School Band's annual 1940s USO Swing Dance this year.
A vintage fashion show will feature clothing from the 1930s to the 1980s. Traditional makeup, hairstyles and accessories such as purses, hats and jewelry will be on display.
The fashion show is the brainchild of Kayla Komito and her friend, Jane Howell, who has helped Komito get models dressed and accessorized on some of the photo-shoots for Komito's etsy stores, BeeBeautifulVintage.com and LuminousLadyVintage.com. Howell suggested Komito do a vintage fashion show for the USO event.
"It appealed to me greatly," Komito said, "because of my love of the style from that period of time and my wish to engage with the community about this passion."
The LHS Jazz Ensemble and local artists will perform big band and swing music modeled after the USO dances of the 1940s.
The vintage fashion show will feature models from Eastern Oregon University.
"Four EOU students — Jessica Parker, Shannon Callow, Leina Buchanan and Quincy Moore — will be modeling plus possibly a couple of surprise community members," Komito said.
Komito said she is putting on the show to help educate those who want to learn about vintage fashion.
"It's an unusual fun event for these hard times and a promotion for my two online etsy vintage shops," she said.
She believes etsy is a fantastic online resource for vintage clothing.
"There are thousands of shops to choose from, many price ranges from the real 'deal' to high-end collector, and an excellent search engine with which to find your color, size, era and so on," Komito said.
Vintage clothing, however, need not break the bank account. And you don't have to be a techo-savvy wizard. All you have to be is a treasure hunter.
"Other places in which to find vintage clothing if you are patient, have done your research and know what you are looking at, are thrift stores, consignment stores, garage sales, estate sales and clothing exchange stores," Komito said. "Then there is always your local vintage and antique stores, where treasures can also be found."
She said the vintage fashion show should be a real eye-opener for La Grande.
"The attention to detail," Komito said, "will give the public a real taste of another time and how to integrate vintage clothing into their daily wear."
The show may also trigger an urge to treasure hunt.

The extension of public transportation can have some adverse affects when not implemented carefully, according to a new report by Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy, including raising rents and attracting wealthier residents.
The researchers found that new public transit investments can lead to gentrification that prices out lower-income residents. The report urges planners and policymakers to "consider the unintended consequences of neighborhood gentrification when expanding or improving public transit, given the risk that transit investment can cause undesirable neighborhood change."
"Transit planners frequently speak of the need for transit-oriented development to support ridership, but what transit stations need is transit-oriented neighbors who will regularly use the system," said Stephanie Pollack, the report's lead author and associate director of the Dukakis Center.
The authors advise that policymakers use coordinated and community-responsive planning tools and design policies that attract core and potential transit users to newly transit-rich neighborhoods. To moderate increases in rents, housing policies should include funding for land and property acquisition, preservation of existing affordable housing, and creation of new affordable housing.
In conjunction with the release of the report, the Dukakis Center launched a web-based Policy Toolkit for Equitable Transit-Rich Neighborhoods. Download the full report here. [http://www.northeastern.edu/dukakiscenter/documents/TRN_Equity_final.pdf]

A little confusing at first but I got the hang of how to break it down & recline the seat pretty quickly...I'm a purple lover which is the main reason I purchased this stroller but it's not really purple/eggplant, it's more like a wine color & That's Why I didn't give 5 stars

Fantastic Stroller, Tons of Thoughtful Details
March 11, 2014
After having my second child, I desperately wanted to replace our old UppaBaby G-Luxe, which was falling apart. I searched and searched until I finally came across this stroller in Albee Baby's Upper West Side store. This stroller is fantastic. It is well built and I really appreciate all the thoughtful details - the included rain cover and cup holder, the pocket in the back of the canopy, the large canopy that can come forward to cover your child's face when the sun is facing the stroller directly, the peek-a-boo window in the canopy, the comfortable handles that are well suited to both me (5'6") and my husband (5'11"), the bumper bar (something you never really see on an umbrella stroller). My husband primarily wanted a stroller that feels sturdy and he has been happy with this one as well. This stroller is big enough to comfortably hold my 3 year old and I'm sure it will work well for my baby as well once she's old enough to ride in it. My only complaints are: (1) I wish it had a one-handed recline, and (2) the brakes sometimes are hard to engage. Overall, I love this stroller and I love all the details that seem to be missing from many strollers that are much more expensive.

Excellent umbrella stroller
December 11, 2013
I have several strollers and needed a practical stroller for traveling through the airport and while shopping. This one does the job and well. It is made very well for the price, is a smooth ride, and my daughter fits comfortable in it. And she likes it too which is the most important. I can hang bags from the handles and have room for a purse at the bottom. You're not going to fit a huge diaper bad underneath but this stroller is for quick convenience and I imagine you can hang the diaper bag from the handles if absolutely needed. I am very happy with my purchase.

The panel is expected to make a recommendation the same day. It will then be forwarded to the seven-member parole board for consideration. Simpson would need four votes for parole approval.
Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass sentenced Simpson in December 2008 to nine to 33 years in prison on charges including first-degree kidnapping and robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.
During a hearing in May, Simpson's current lawyers, Pamela Palm and Ozzie Fumo, presented evidence and questioned witnesses including trial lawyer Yale Galanter about whether he knew in advance about the September 2007 plan for Simpson and several other men to confront to memorabilia deals in a Las Vegas hotel room.
Simpson argues that he was trying to retrieve items stolen from him after his 1995 "trial of the century" acquittal in Los Angeles.
Bell hasn't indicated when she plans to issue her decision, but told a KSNV-TV interviewer for a segment aired this week in Las Vegas that she still had "some writing to do."

Got an email about your math TPT listing. Going to check it out now, but I am sure it is fabulous!ReplyDelete
Queen of the First Grade Jungle
Thanks Katie! I've been so busy giving my Daily 5 posters some "zebra bling" that I forgot to mention my Math Fact kit in my post!ReplyDelete
Christie :)
Hello! I recently came across your blog & love the prize pass catalog! We use a lot of the same prizes at my school & it was great to find such cute coupons to use! I was wondering if whenever you get a chance (no rush!) if you would be able to add 2 more? We do a Desk Bump (the student gets to sit at another student's desk for the day) & Out of Uniform (we give allow them to be out of uniform for a day of their choice). I am so glad I came across your blog! Your work is wonderful & I appreciate all the cute ideas, especially since I'm a 1st year teacher & am always on the lookout for new materials!!! :)ReplyDelete
Stephanie :)
I love your reward cupons, but was wondering how I can edit them to work in my classroom? Is that something easy to do, I can't seem to figure it out. I love the graphics, size, everything, but just wanted to change the wording a bit.

RAD Studio XE3 and SQLite
RAD Studio XE3 introduces a new dbExpress driver which enables connectivity to SQLite 3.x in Win32, Win64, and OSX applications. The driver is written in Delphi and the source code is provided. In this blog post, I'll list a few things you need to do to get set up to use this driver and also explain the purpose of a couple of the connection properties.
First off on Windows, you will need to download the SQLite client from http://www.sqlite.org/download.html and verify that sqlite3.dll can be found by your application. Once you have done this you can easily build FireMonkey and VCL applications that connect to SQLite using dbExpress. Drop a TSQLConnection onto your form, set the Driver property to Sqlite and away you go. If you choose to create a console application instead, make sure that you use the Data.DbxSqlite unit so that the driver is registered in the driver registry. If you are creating an application for OSX, ensure that libsqlite3.dylib is present on the machine you are deploying to.
The SQLite driver supports a connection property called ColumnMetaDataSupported which can be set to True or False. This property is in place because sqlite3.dll (or libsqlite3.dylib) can be compiled with or without the SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA C-preprocessor symbol being defined. This symbol determines whether certain metadata APIs are available. On Windows, the symbol is defined in the dll they provide for you so we have set the default value of ColumnMetaDataSupported to True. On OSX, this symbol is not defined so we default to False. However, as SQLite provides source, you could choose to compile the SQLite client library yourself either way.
FailIfMissing is another property that the SQLite driver supports. If this is set to False and the database you specify is not found, a new database will be created for you. When this property is set to True, an exception will be raised when the database is not found instead.
That's all I'll cover in this blog post. Connecting to SQLite should be pretty straightforward.Posted by sablas on October 2nd, 2012 under SQLite, XE3, dbExpress | 12 Comments »

the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller

Family Tree: Britain and Ireland to Australia
Home to 179 Kemp family members, 148 Juleff descendants, 143 members of the Luke family and family histories of 87 other surnames; this website was created on Sep 29 2004 and last updated on Feb 02 2015. The Family Trees on this website contain 2986 relatives and 50 photos. If you have any questions or comments you may send a Message to the Administrator of this site.
The research that is being completed here was started by my parents Jean Juleff Roy and William Francis Roy more than fifty years ago. Life at Fish River As early as the 1820s there were land grants in the Fish River and O'Connell area. Gold was discovered on Fish River in 1823 and this soon brought thousands of new settlers. There have been many silver and copper mines in the district and the area is still well known for its sapphires and gemstones. It is said the town of Oberon grew from Fish River. Oberon was originally known as Bullock Flat. It was later re-named after the King of the Fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Henry Rivett arrived in Australia in 1850 with his wife Esther. A carpenter and wagon builder, he settled in Kelso, where he set up a wagon building business in which his sons, Oliver, John, walter, George and William also worked. George Rivett married Harriett Field in 1889. their son Walter married Catherine Bullock. William married Susan Wallace and their daughter Hephzibath married Robert Hutchison in 1881. Robert Hutchison was a great great uncle of mine, the grandson of George Hutchison. Thomas Hassall, the famous Church of England minister, arranged for a church and residence to be built in O'Connell in the 1860s. When he arrived, he wrote that he had sadly buried 'two beautiful babes' that same day. Indeed, the graves of hundreds of babies must lie somewhere in the cemeteries of Fish River and O'Connell, once marked by wooden crosses, long gone. Along the river banks gold prospectors lived in tents and roughly hewn bark settlers huts. There were midwives, doctors, butchers, farriers, carters and farmers. The Cobb & Co. coach came weekly to drop off supplies at the earthen barn which still stands in O'Connell. Hens, ducks, turkeys, dogs and other farm animals roamed freely around the river settlement. Boys and girls carried water in buckets from the river to their homes. Rabbit, kangaroo and beef stews boiled continuously in large pots over open fires, some inside, some outdoors. Smoke from hundreds of fires rose into the sky. At night there was singing and storytelling beside large burning logs. In the 1870s the local Aborigines attacked and the women and children sheltered in the barn at O'Connell. Thomas Hassall kept them at bay and finally negotiated a settlement whereby the Aborigines were given a steer to eat. Virtually no sign of all this activity remains today. The O'Connell Hotel still stands, built in the 1860s; the earthen barn, thought to have been built in the 1840s; the Church of England and residence formerly occupied by Thomas Hassall; and one or two old houses, built by the wealthier settlers from more permanent materials. Sarah Lofty was born on 14th November 1831 in Essex, England, the daughter of my 3rd great grandmother Maria Lofty of Ticehurst, Sussex and an unknown father. Sarah moved to Australia with her mother and stepfather Jude Kemp. They arrived in 1839. When Sarah was 17 she married Robert Barton, a music printer by trade, and convict, transported for life. He was 4 feet 11 inches tall. He had previously been married in 1838 to Jemima Chapman, a convict with a colourful history. They had had Harriett, George (died before he was a year old), George Thomas and Louisa Barton at Fish River. Sarah moved to Fish River and lived in a slab hut not far from the river. Robert Barton was born in 1845 and died the same year. Twins James and Thomas died after birth due to being a few weeks premature. Four years later in 1849 another Robert was born. He also died. Not until 1851 did they have a baby Robert who survived. Then followed Jane, who died before she was a year old. Another Jane born in 1861 married William James Hutchison. Twins Maria (named after her grandmother Maria Lofty) and Sarah Barton died as well. Another Maria Barton was born and died in 1855. By this time, Sarah was 24 years old and had buried six children, with only one, Robert Barton surviving. The next six children of Sarah and Robert all survived: William 1857, twins Maria and Sarah 1859, twins Jane and Emma 1861 and Elizebeth Matilda 1863. By 1885, Robert Barton Jnr. owned a property he named Milford at Fish River. On November 22nd 1863 Robert Barton died at the age of 37 years. There is a headstone in the O'Connell Church of England Cemetery. The next year Sarah Lofty married Thomas Herring, an Englishman who had come to Fish River to look for gold. Their children were Hannah (died aged 8 years and 3 months, headstone in the Church of England Cemetery, O?Connell), Thomas Herring and Henry James Herring. Sarah Lofty died aged 62 in Hartley. She was buried in O'Connell next to Thomas Herring. Thomas Herring had died six years before her. Robert Barton born 1851 remained in the O?Connell region. He married Elizabeth Pearce in 1872. The Pearce family was prominent in O'Connell with Mary Jane (died 1907) and James Pearce (died 1939) buried in the Church of England cemetery. Their children Anna, Robert, William and Allan were all born at Fish River. Maria Barton, daughter of Robert Barton and Sarah Lofty, married Johann Peime in 1881 and their first five children were born in the Fish River-East Macquarie region, the last three being born in Oberon. Two children were born to Maria before she was married. They later took the surname Peime. Johann, who was born in Germany,had two children with his first wife Mary Ann, who died. The youngest was 12 around the time he met Maria Barton. One of the first land granats in Bullock Flats was given to Charles Whalan in 1839. By the 1850s Charles Whalan had built a flour mill on the banks of Fish River Creek. Thomas Whalan married Charlotte Burchett in 1865. Charlotte's mother was Charlotte Lofty, the sister of my 4th Great Grandmother. George Kemp, half brother of Sarah Lofty, was born in Ticehurst, Sussex in 1835. Probably his family members were farm labourers. He was only four years old when his parents sailed to Australia. On the way his baby sister Peggy was born and died. George Kemp married Hannah Thorncraft in 1858 when he was 23. They had six children in the Bathurst region. Hannah died of typhoid fever when the youngest, Mary, was still a baby. George married Mary Johnson in 1877 when George's youngest daughter was eight years old. He was already 42. He had brought up his six children by himself. George and Mary had five children at Fish River, where George was a prospector. They were William 1877, Henry 1880, Isaac born and died in 1882 and buried at the O'Connell cemetery, Alice 1883 and Eleanor, 1887. A sixth baby, Leila, was born in 1891 in Yetholme. By 1885 George Kemp owned a small farm at Diamond Swamp. George Kemp died in Sunny Corner in 1925. Edward Taylor was a farm labourer born in Altarnun, Cornwall. He arrived in Australia in 1839 on the Roxborough Castle. Edward and Martha's daughter Cumberland, born on board ship and named after the Captain, died at sea, as did many other babies during those times. Edward went into partnership with neighbour William Jenkins and together they ran a carrying business with a bullock wagon travelling between Sydney & Orange or Bathurst on trips which could last six weeks. Edward settled in Fish River in 1840, where there was a need for his bullock dray to deliver essential items. While he was at home between journeys, he panned for gold in the Fish River. When they arrived at Fish River, Edward and his wife Martha already had a 6 year old boy, William, as well as two younger ones also born in Cornwall. From 1841, they had Susanne, John, Edward, George, Elizabeth and Isaac at Fish River. In 1852 the family moved to Jerrys Meadows where Joseph and James Taylor were born. Edward Taylor lies buried in picturesque Muttons Falls Cemetery beside his wife Martha, who died in 1884. Edward and Martha's son William married Ann Hutchison in 1852, aged 18, and became a farmer at Hassan's Walls. By 1885 he owned his own land at Tarana. Ann Hutchison was a cousin of Sarah Lofty and my great great great aunt. Mrs Margaret Parkinson conducted a school in her home at Fish River before the Fish River School opened. A patchwork quilt made by her is in the Oberon Museum. Making patchwork quilts as well as other crafts would have been a popular pastime at Fish River. Now there are only paddocks and river sand where once hundreds of families lived their lives. Copyright Louise Juleff Roy 2006 Alice Roy's Story of the Depression and Drought in Wollongong During the Depression we were living in Northcott Street Wollongong. Dad had a few acres of land that went down to the creek that used to be there. He'd get up early to see if there was any work in the mines or the steelworks and if there was no work he would go fishing or rabbiting to get food for the family. We lived through the depression and hardly ever went hungry. Of course there were no fridges in those days, only ice chests, so Dad would share the rabbits and fish with the neighbours. Dad had a cow called Sally and she loved him. She'd rub her head up on him. One day Dad was getting watercress from the creek and Sally came up behind him to rub her head on him and put him into the creek. Bill and I couldn't stop laughing. Someone had to milk Sally early in the morning and it was usually Dad and sometimes Bill. Then Mum would separate the milk to make cream and butter. Mum worked hard. She was cooking and making things all day so that we would have plenty to eat. We had fruit trees, and when the fruit was ripe Bill and I would climb the trees and sit there eating the fruit. Dad had a whole paddock under cultivation with vegetables. There was a bad drought in those days and the town water was only turned on for an hour a day. Most people had tanks but they were empty because there had been no rain. Dad watered the vegetable garden from the creek. We all had our jobs and collecting water from the creek was one of them. Bill had to fill up two heavy kettles for the stove because he was the oldest. I had to fill up the bath and then we'd all share the same bathwater. There was the copper that had to be filled for the washing and two rinsing tubs. Bill and I used to follow Dad everywhere he went. Every weekend Dad would kill three chooks. Mum would cook them in the fuel stove and then we'd often go and have a picnic at Stewart Park and take some of the neighbours with us. Corporal Sydney Harry of Gallipoli In 2005 the unmarked grave of Sydney Harry was found in the Church of England Cemetery, Nowra. He died following World War 1 due to wounds received at Gallipoli as a member of the 4th Battalion, 6th Reinforcement (the 6th of the 4th depicted in the Mel Gibson movie 'Gallipoli'). Uncle Sydney was involved in the Battle of Lone Pine and saw nearly half of the men in his battalion die between the 6th and 8th of August 1915. He was a Signalman. This year the War Graves Commission is to build a memorial on the gravesite. Uncle Sydney's mother was Mary Juleff of Redruth, Cornwall, which is where Great Grandfather Michael Broad Juleff was born. The Irish Freedom Fighter and the Bushranger In 1809 another reluctant emigrant arrived, Michael McGrath, my fourth great grandfather, who married Elizabeth Somerville, twin daughter of convict James. Michael is said to have been involved in the 1798 Rebellion in County Wexford, which is the next county to Waterford, where Michael was born. He was put on trial in Kilkenny.The worst defeat for the rebels was at Vinegar Hill, co. Wexford, on 21st June. Michael continued his resistance of British rule in the new colony, at one stage being found guilty of harbouring a bushranger, Thomas Ford, also known as Ward. Transported to Port Macquarie for an alleged burglary, Michael saw no hope of release and asked his friend James Ward on his release, to take care of Michael's wife Elizabeth and her seven children. This he did, marrying Elizabeth and having five children with her. James, my step-fourth-great grandfather, was later transported to Norfolk Island, where he died in 1837. "Criminals often will surrender and go quietly....Outlaws...because they're pure...never will..." The Bullocky In 1818, Jude Kemp's uncle, Isaac Kemp of Ticehurst, Sussex, was found guilty of burglary with force of arms and transported on board the "General Stewart" which was commanded by the evil Captain Robert Granger. Many convicts died on the voyage and many more were admitted to the Benevolent Hospital in Sydney on arrival. Isaac was fortunate enough to be sent to work in Bathurst where he had many relatives who had arrived as free settlers. On his release, Isaac became a bullocky and was unfortunately run over and killed by his own bullock dray at Cobra in the Bligh district in 1857 aged 59 years. He had been married three times and his only living child William survived him. William went on to have fourteen children. The Seventeen Geese In 1825 George Hutchison, convict, arrived in Sydney aboard the "Mistral". At home in England he had been a farmer and harnessmaker. He and Ann Irvin, William Hutchison and Mary Hutchison, his parents, had been found guilty of stealing seventeen geese. A trail of feathers had led to the home of the guilty. There is no record of Ann, William or Mary arriving in the colony. Like many others, they may have died on the way. The Pirate Thomas James McGrath, son of Michael McGrath, Irish Rebel, was involved in a robbery from his employer with some older boys after he had been apprenticed from an Orphanage in Sydney where he had been placed after his father Michael was transported to Port Macquarie. He was convicted and sent to Tasmania where he was put to work building roads. He was only about fifteen at the time. He served his time, married and had children. His wife's family were in the shipping and whaling industry and Thomas became a ship's captain. He travelled to America and around the coast of Australia and to New Zealand and skippered whaling boats. He lost his ship in a storm and then worked as master for someone else. For some reason he stole the ship, went whaling and blackbirding (Slave Trading in the Pacific Islands)and lived for a while on Stewart Island south of New Zealand. The authorities were after him for barratry (stealing a boat) and piracy but he went to Papeete where he lived and later died. His death certificate can be obtained from Tahiti but his burial place is unknown. The South American Connection One of my ancestors is St Philip Howard, one of the 40 Martyrs of England who refused to covert to the Anglican religion. I am also related to the Howards, Dukes of Norfolk. The Howards of Santiago, Chile, are the only wealthy ancestors that I have. In 1865, Benjamin Howard decided to migrate from Norfolk to Chile with his wife Adelaide Johnson and their family. He obtained a position as a Coppersmith with the Ferrocarril del Sur Railways. With him went his brothers, John and George, who also worked on the railways, and Adolph, who became Vice-Consul of Valparaiso, Chile. On the journey, the ship "Payta" was diverted to Peru and Islay Payta Howard was born in the Bay of Islay, Peru. Alfred Dawson was a seafarer who often went to Chile. While in Chile, Alfred met Clara Ann Howard and married her in Santiago. Three of their children were born in Chile, then they moved to Sydney where my great grandmother Priscilla Dawson was born. The family lost contact, and Aunty Polly in Chile asked that her nephew Jim Robinson continue to search for family members in Australia. In 1963, he sent his nephew George Munoz as a forward scout and George discovered all of his Australian relatives. Uncle Jim Robinson arrived soon after to meet us all. Many family members still live in Chile and also in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Lives of the Adventurous Lumleys Joseph Lumley was born in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottingham, England in 1812, the son of John Lumley and Ellen Anderson. He and his brother John were convicted of stealing clothes in 1830, and in 1831 they were transported to Australia. Joseph went to Bathurst, but in 1837 he committed another crime and was sent to Norfolk Island. His brother John was already there after being convicted of manslaughter in Tasmania. John escaped from Norfolk Island in a boat with four other convicts in December 1840. In 1844 Joseph was sent to Tasmania. In about 1853 when he was 41, he went to Melbourne and settled in the Upper Hawthorne district. There he married Susan Ellard who was born in Tipperary in 1837. She was seventeen years old. Their children were Thomas, Joseph Richardson, Charles Arthur, Marion, Elizabeth (married Charles McMurdie), Herbert and Ernest Samuel. Joseph Richardson Lumley moved to Hay around 1880 where he married Susannah Ruth Jenkins (known as Susan) in 1881. Their first son Joseph Arthur Lumley was born in Hay that year. Joseph Arthur Lumley became a Painter and Miner. In 1892 a rail link was built to Cobar where there was copper, lead, silver, zinc and gold. Joseph Arthur Lumley was employed by the Great Cobar Copper Mining Company and there he met his wife Olive Painter. Later he moved to another mining community, Catherine Hill Bay, with his family. By 1884 Joseph and Susan Lumley had moved 150 miles north of Hay, to Euabalong. Wagons and coaches crossed the Lachlan River carrying wool at Hillston where the river was shallow and the town grew from a hotel built there in 1863. Joseph was working as a carrier, perhaps with a bullock dray as his father had done. Alice Jane Lumley, my great grandmother, was born in Dine Dine near Euabalong, in 1884. Joseph Richardson Lumley next moved his family to Manly, where Thomas Charles, Elizabeth, Jack (married Elsie Martin) and Frank (died aged 31) were born. In 1898 Susan and Joseph were divorced. Joseph did not die in New South Wales, so he probably made his way back to Victoria. In 1906, Susan Jenkins Lumley married John Reed, a Dapto publican, whose name lives on in Reed Park, Dapto. She was 49 years old. Susan's son Thomas Charles and her daughter Alice Jane moved to Dapto from Manly. Thomas obtained work as a stockman on local dairy farms. Alice Jane was unmarried and had a son Thomas George Lumley, my grandfather, who was re-named Thomas George Roy after she married William Gibson Roy. William Gibson Roy signed a declaration that he was Thomas' father in about 1914. I later obtained a letter written by him in which he wrote to his wife, "Alice has a child by me and I am going to stick by her." Thomas George, b. 1905, was named after his uncle, Thomas Charles, who must have been kind to his sister in her time of trouble. Thomas Charles Lumley, Alice Jane's brother, enlisted for World War 1 in December 1915, Rank Sapper, 1st Field Company Engineers, Occupation Stockman, Religion Church of England, next of kin Mrs Susan Reed of Dapto. First he went to Alexandria, Egypt, for training, then Tel-al-Kabir. He served in France and became ill with pneumonia, probably due to being gassed, and was hospitalized in England. In June 1917 he was shot in the leg in Belgium and once again returned to England where he married a teacher, Annie Amelia Gregory of Twyford, Berkshire, on 1st September 1917. Her father was also serving and was a farmer. In 1919 they both returned to Australia. Two of their children were Rose Mary and Beatrice Lumley. Annie Amelia died in Sydney in 1974. Susan Reed died in Dapto in 1918, just a year before her son returned from the war. Alice Jane Lumley had her next son, named William Henry Roy Lumley on his birth certificate, in 1909. Then came Arthur James Roy Lumley 1910 and Jack Roy Lumley in 1911. In 1912 Alice Jane married William Gibson Roy in Wollongong. In 1913 Harold Gibson Roy was born in Kembla Street Wollongong and lived only six minutes. He is buried in Wollongong Cemetery. Elsie May Roy was born in 1914. William Gibson Roy died in the Pacific Ocean off Bellambi in 1922 after going fishing in stormy weather. He was whistling "Nearer My God to Thee" as he left Wollongong harbour. Alice Jane married William Timms in 1924 and had a daughter Alice Timms. Arthur Manly Thomas Lumley, brother of Alice Jane Lumley, married May Steele in 1939 in Rozelle. It was her second marriage and there were no children.

Opportunities to smoothen irregular household cash-flow are limited and households in the region regularly adopt severe coping strategies – such as the distress sale of assets and reduced food intake – to meet consumption and emergency needs. The Chars Livelihood Programme (CLP) aims to ensure that most poor char dwellers in the Jamuna River Basin have access to appropriate financial services through Savings Groups.
The economy of the Jamuna River Basin is highly dependent on agriculture, resulting in few local employment opportunities for char dwellers. The period between planting and harvesting the rice crop is characterised by seasonal hunger for many households. In years of drought or flood, destruction of the rice crop further prolongs and intensifies the period of seasonal unemployment and subsequent food shortage. For the poorest households, this seasonal decline in employment can often lead to the sustained reduction of income, assets and consumption. The Chars Livelihood Programme (CLP) of the Department for International Development (DFID) focuses on improving livelihood security and reducing the physical vulnerability of island char dwellers through an intensive package of investment capital, basic infrastructure, training and financial stipends.
Asset-Transfers and VSLAs
The CLP's centrepiece activity is the Asset Transfer Programme (ATP), which provides investment assets to the 55,000 poorest char households in the working area. Beneficiary households receive a package of physical assets (mainly livestock) and an 18-month cash stipend worth a total of about Tk.20,000 (US$300), the equivalent of roughly one-year's household income. CLP also provides each household with a package of social, livelihood and market development inputs and training worth a further Tk.20,000.
CLP estimates that only 10 percent of its beneficiary households have a savings account with a bank or MFI, and formal insurance services are completely nonexistent in the chars. As a result, opportunities to smoothen irregular household cash-flow are limited and households are forced to regularly adopt severe coping strategies to meet their needs. In 2006, the CLP piloted SGs, referred to as Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs); in 2007, CLP began facilitating VSLAs amongst the ATP groups.
CLP's initial approach to introducing VSLAs to pre-existing ATP groups proved problematic. Many of these ATP groups, especially in the earlier phases of the programme, were composed of individuals from different villages. The geographical dispersion of members led to an increase in the costs of participation (travel time and costs) and reduced the attendance and participation of members residing farther from the VSLA meeting site. These groups also lacked the trust and social cohesion of the pilot groups, which were composed of self-selected members.
CLP revised its mobilisation strategy; instead of using pre-existing ATP groups, the programme promotes VSLAs at the village-level on the basis of voluntary participation and member self-selection. As well, the inclusion of non-ATP beneficiaries in VSLAs has transformed the ATP groups from a group of individuals organised for the discrete purpose of an asset-transfer to an inclusive community institution that will likely generate social and economic benefits long after the withdrawal of CLP from the area.
Programme Outcomes
A quantitative study which surveyed 540 CLP beneficiary households found the average monthly household savings of ATP beneficiaries not participating in VSLAs is Tk.40 ($0.58), the equivalent of half the local agricultural day wage. First-cycle VSLA members report an average monthly household savings of Tk.184 ($2.70); while second- and third-cycle VSLA member households report to have saved an average of Tk.218 ($3.10) and Tk.209 ($3.00), respectively. Nearly all VSLA member households reported saving during the month of monitoring, while only 28 percent of non-VSL participants reported saving.
Participation in a VSLA also changes the manner in which households save. Non-VSL participants hold 70 percent of their savings in the form of cash in the home and deposit more than 20 percent of their savings in various insecure options such as village savings clubs. In contrast, VSLA members deposit an average of 50 percent of their household savings in their VSLA, holding only 33 percent in the form of cash at home. Accordingly, 85 percent of members surveyed report that the VSLA has provided them with their first opportunity to save securely.
Survey results show that the household income of VSLA members increases significantly over the first two savings cycles and then appears to stabilise. While the notable increase in income cannot be attributed exclusively to participation in the VSL Programme, the significantly greater income of members, compared with non-VSL participants who received the same ATP package, suggests that participation in the VSL Programme has a positive impact on household cash income.
VSLA members also experienced improved coping mechanisms. Access to grants and flexible interest-free loans from the VSLA emergency fund allows members to manage food scarcity. VSLA members are significantly more likely to feel respected in the community than non-members. Lastly, participation in a VSLA appears to have significant impact on the household decision-making process. In male-headed households, female VSLA members report playing a greater role in household decisions related to consumption and a significantly greater role in financial decision-making.
Programme Sustainability
An independent survey of 280 VSLA participants in February 2009 estimates an 86 percent survival rate of VSLAs promoted in 2007, similar to the actual survival rate after three years of 84 percent measured in the VSL pilot groups (started in 2006).
Impact of CLP Stipend Withdrawal: One would expect that the end of the 18-month stipend period would have an impact on the VSLA activities of ATP beneficiaries, particularly on savings mobilisation. However, the survey found that the end of CLP stipend support did not appear to have an immediate outcome on savings mobilisation, providing evidence that the withdrawal of the cash stipend does not adversely affect the performance of active VSLAs.
Security of VSLA assets – Resistance to Flood and Theft
Over the past three years, VSLAs have demonstrated resiliency to severe floods and extremely low vulnerability to theft. Floods in August 2007, reported to be the harshest in the country in over half a century, suspended economic activity completely for nearly one month and displaced many char dwellers. In some areas, VSLA activities were temporarily suspended for up to a month, but all resumed normal activities shortly after flood waters subsided. After the floods, there were reports that VSLA cash-boxes were fastened to roofs, moved to neighbouring villages and even buried to protect them. Not a single VSLA failed or lost assets due to the floods. In three years, among the 1,270 VSLAs promoted by CLP, only three have experienced a theft or loss of funds.
Lessons Learnt
Compared to ATP beneficiary households that have not participated in the VSLA Programme, VSLA participants appear to earn greater incomes. The opportunity to save created positive new financial behaviour such as increased savings and decreased expenses on debt repayment. There is also a clear substitution effect in that VSLA members replace various informal financial services with services from their VSLA. VSLAs provide easy, flexible access to credit in small amounts appropriate for the poorest. Savings invested in VSLAs have historically generated an average return of 38 percent per annum. Savings in VSLAs are also more secure than cash saved in the home or a village savings club. Finally, participation in VSLAs results in decreased dependence on restrictive (and sometimes exploitative) informal financial services, thereby reducing household vulnerability.

My 11 year old is wanting an email account and I'm wondering if any providers are safer than others in filtering out spam and phishing emails.
Hi - I'd really appreciate advice on the following issue, which is how to protect my daughter from potential sexual predators while she surfs the net and goes on sites like Skype. Last evening, after a really boring Sunday at home all alone (by choice, after rejecting the few ideas we had of things to do), our daughter was spending time on Skype, as she often does. Until now, her conversations have been limited entirely to her best girlfriends, who are also in 8th grade. We have two computers networked together, in my office (she does not have a computer in her room) and I came into the office and began to check my email and noticed (thanks to an icon on my toolbar) that she was on Skype chatting with someone whose name I didn't recognize. Asking her about it, she said, oh it's just some nice person (she assumed a female) who shared her interest in movies. They were comparing notes about favorite films and in the course of so doing, my daughter revealed that she's 14 and lives in California, and the other person shared that ''she'' was 27, living in Thailand, doing ''volunteer work.'' She asked my daughter if she had a camera (!!!) and then my daughter asked me if we had a Webcam in our new computer. I quickly insisted that she stop the conversation and she resisted that and continued chatting for another 15 minutes or so, until I really forced her to leave the computer and get to bed (by now, almost 10:30 pm on a school night). I then blocked the name of this unknown person from her Skype messages but am new to Skype and am not sure whether or not it worked. I'll check later today. Our kid has always and only been around trustworthy adults and is trusting, naive and vulnerable. She's also a stubborn, increasingly independent teenager who doesn't want to be given rules or have her freedoms curtailed. The red flags were, to me, immediately obvious. So I'd really like some guidance navigating these new waters. I don't really know how to set parental controls in all of the places she might visit; I don't know how to impress upon her the cunning of all of the nuts worldwide who are surfing for young vulnerable teenage girls (or boys for that matter) online. I've been looking for some clear guidelines online and have checked the Digest archives for a past discussion on this, but neither has offered the concrete help I'm hoping to find. Your insights into how to protect our daughter while still allowing her a lot of freedom on the internet would be invaluable. Many thanks.
We established only simple, basic guidelines - no addresses, no phone numbers, no meetings. And for a long time we had an old New Yorker cartoon taped by the computer -- a big old Labrador at a desk with a computer, labeled: On the internet, no one knows you are a dog. If you don't know someone, for all you know they are a dog. All you have are words on a screen or pictures anyone can post.
But you will not always be on hand to monitor your child's actions, and there is no system that is fool-proof. Even if there were, there is always access to other people's computers to worry about. The conversation you reported does not necessarily mean she was dealing with a predator. It could have been an actual 27 year-old lady who doesn't have a good sense of how sensitive it is to deal with teenagers.
What you want is for your daughter to be clear on when a conversation should start the alarm bells ringing. She doesn't need for you to block this lady. All she learns from that is that you are ''mean.'' What she needs is an internal ''three strikes'' guideline for dealing with strangers. The question about a camera is strike one.
An important point to remember: the kids who get into the kind of desperate, scary trouble that makes headlines don't have someone reach into the computer screen and grab them. Instead they agree to pose for pictures they shouldn't, or to go meet strangers, and the like. If your kid is clear on issues like these, the computer isn't going to take her anywhere dangerous. also a mom
I only have one thing to say about your limit settings - teens need them - this is one example of where parents need to be VERY clear and simply do what's right - take her off the site ALTOGETHER - you would do the same thing if she was being propositioned in a public place - in other words, if she was been harrassed in the park - wouldn't you go pick her up and put her in the car and drive away? Hope you tighten the reins a little - although the experience will have taught you both a lesson about how easy this happens. Maddie
As my kids get more savvy using the internet I am curious about how other parents
are keeping their kids safe. Do you monitor your kids computer usage? Do you
control their internet access? if so, how? Do you allow your kids to shop online at
places like iTunes?
Also, can you recommend a cyber safety seminar that can help me better
understand the issues and how to address them?
technically clueless mom
2) We had a talk with our kids about internet safety; we want them to be partners in intelligent use. They understand why they should:
a) never use their email address to sign up for anything, including petitions, website sign-ins, etc. b) never open up email attachments c) never respond to email from someone they don't know d) never go to a chat room e) never forward chain letter emails or other internet garbage from friends. (They know how to check about.urbanlegends.com & snopes.com for the multiple internet hoaxes and they have become adept at debunking the junk their friends send them)
3) If they want iTunes or other internet purchases, they ask me and I sign in with my account and deduct it from their allowance.
We tried a software filter/timer. My 10 year old then put together a hilarious PowerPoint presentation entitled ''why we should remove Content Barrier X from the computer'' which was very persuasive. The program prevented access to innocuous sites, blocked friends' emails and failed to correctly time usage.
Rather than being the ''internet police'', I am focusing on partnering with the kids in becoming savvy about internet use and abuse. This includes thinking about the choices their friends make in terms of websites and emails. They've let me know about a 10 year old who was corresponding with a stranger, an 11 year old visiting porn sites, a 13 year old forwarding malicious gossip, etc.
At the same time, I can't always rely on their good sense - I ''trust, but verify''. I occasionally check the ''history'' on the browser to see that they're not on inappropriate websites, and check their email inboxes (and trash) just to be sure they're not getting/sending to/from strangers.
I've talked to my 16 year old niece and gotten some good advice from her as well. So far my kids are not asking to do a MySpace account, but the 13 year old does have friends who have one. You might check out previous BPN postings about this issue and internet safety in general. http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/teens/computer.html Natasha B.
My 12 1/2 year old, 7th grade daughter has suddenly become very interested in communicating with her friends via email. What rules, guidelines, limits, warnings, check-ups do you recommend to keep her safe?
They all have free email addresses through aol. Now they want to get Netscape Instant Messenger. What is available along with these that I need to know about? One mother told me that if you get your own email address, you are then able to get into internet sites limited to over-18. What is Chat Room Navigation? What else should I worry about?
It's terrific to have a place like this to come to ask this type of questions. Thanks in advance. Barbara
In my opinion, one of the biggest "dangers" of internet use by teens is
that they can become addicted to online "chatting." Picture a teen's
typical use of the telephone multiplied many times as several friends can
be online at once, chatting back and forth. I would suggest setting time
limits from the outset--e.g., no more than 30 minutes per day and only
after all homework is completed. I have found my own child online aftter
midnight, when I thought she was asleep, still chatting with several of her
My kids are older than yours, so this may not apply to you, but I give
my 2 boys (14 & 17) a lot of freedom about what they do on the web.
For example, after a discussion on this list a few months ago, I told
them that I'd heard from other parents that teenage boys look at
pornography, it's pretty normal, and that I am not going to forbid it.
I gave them my views - that I think it might give them the wrong idea
about what real women are like, and that I think it's mostly pretty
demeaning to women. I told them I do not want to ever want to come
across it accidentally on the computer, just as I don't want to find
Playboys lying around the house. But as long as they do it privately,
I won't say anything about it. This has worked out really well, and
they keep their own "Bookmarks" separate from mine. Incidentally every
once in a while I secretly check on what they are doing by looking at
their bookmarks and history. It's about 80% sports, games, and music,
20% porno sites (pretty much run-of-the-mill T&A type stuff).

Campus Life
Students Capture Dazzling Images during Study-Abroad Trips
By Frances Womble
Sometimes capturing a great photo requires careful timing and planning. Sometimes it just comes down to luck.
That was the case for senior Kim Harding, an integrative studies major in New Century College who studied Italian Media, Culture, and Society in Milan last summer.
"I saw this umbrella-lined beach just as I was stepping out of the train station at Cinque Terre," says Harding. "The waters were so sparkling clear that I could see the jellyfish floating in the coastal waters." So before you could say "snap!" she had pulled out one of several cameras she'd brought along and captured a winning image. Harding says she took more than 3,000 photos during her time in Italy.
Each year, the Center for Global Education (CGE) sponsors a photo contest that gives students who have studied abroad over the past academic year an opportunity to submit any photo they took on their trip. This year, CGE selected four winners out of the 46 photos submitted.
Jennifer Miller, a senior global and community health major in the College of Health and Human Services, was the subject of a winning photo taken in the Philippines last summer. Her friend got the inspiration for the photo from an information board at an overlook that featured creative poses. Miller, who was participating in Grassroots Peacebuilding, Environmental Issues and Culture in the Philippines, "leaned" on one of the Chocolate Hills in Bohol for the photo.
While studying in Florence last spring, Molly Snyder, a senior majoring in art history, took the third winning photograph.
Snyder says she visited San Miniato al Monte, a basilica near the Piazzale Michelangelo, on a class field trip. She later returned to take this photo, which frames the Dumo Cathedral.
The final winning photograph was taken last winter by senior Jacob van der Veen, also an integrative studies major. He was in Costa Rica during the Natural History and Conservation program.
Again, the photographer was rewarded by luck. Van der Veen had set up his tripod on the beach to catch the sunset when he saw a man chasing two runaway horses. He shot the photo as one of the horses ran past.
This year's winners will be officially recognized at the CGE's Pre-Departure Orientation on December 8.
For more information about the photo contest or studying abroad opportunities, see the website.

Late last month, two refugees from Iraq were arrested down the road in Bowling Green, on charges of terrorism. The criminal complaints and indictment unsealed Tuesday were announced by Todd Hinnen, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security; David J. Hale, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky; Elizabeth A. Fries, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Louisville Division; and the members of the Louisville Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF).
Waad Ramadan Alwan, 30, and Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 23, both former residents of Iraq who currently reside in Kentucky, were charged in a 23-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury on May 26, 2011. Alwan is charged with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals abroad; conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction (explosives) against U.S. nationals abroad; distributing information on the manufacture and use of IEDs; attempting to provide material support to terrorists and to al Qaeda in Iraq; as well as conspiracy to transfer, possess, and export Stinger missiles. Hammadi is charged with attempting to provide material support to terrorists and to al Qaeda in Iraq, as well as conspiracy to transfer, possess, and export Stinger missiles.
Alwan and Hammadi were arrested on May 25, 2011, on criminal complaints and made their initial appearances Tuesday in federal court in Louisville. Each faces a potential sentence of life in prison if convicted of all the charges in the indictment.
"Over the course of roughly eight years, Waad Ramadan Alwan allegedly supported efforts to kill U.S. troops in Iraq, first by participating in the construction and placement of improvised explosive devices in Iraq and, more recently, by attempting to ship money and weapons from the United States to insurgents in Iraq. His co-defendant, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, is accused of many of the same activities," said Todd Hinnen, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security.
"These arrests were the culmination of extremely well-coordinated, diligent, and tireless efforts by the FBI and our law enforcement partners working on the JTTFs. My thanks to all those who assisted in this case," said Elizabeth A. Fries, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Louisville Division. Along with the FBI, the Louisville JTTF is comprised of the following full-time member agencies:
- Louisville Metro Police
- Kentucky State Police
- Jefferson County Sheriff's Office
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
- U.S. Marshals Service
Also assisting were full-time members of the Lexington JTTF, which includes the University of Kentucky Police and Lexington-Fayette County Police. The U.S. Department of Defense also provided assistance in this investigation, as well as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Bowling Green Police Department.
