It is normally quite exciting to read about all the wonderful adventures and animals our rangers so diligently "blog" about, and since this normally happens in "real time" it makes for very entertaining reading.
Sometimes though, the memories goes back just a little into "yesteryear" and I thought maybe it could be quite a "fresh" idea to share some "old" stories on the blog every once in a wile…
I want to turn the clock back just about 11 years, and just about a year or two after beginning my first Big 5 guiding job on this very reserve. We got word of two female leopard cubs "abandoned" by their mother somewhere around Pretoriuskop Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park. During this time the Hoedspruit Cheetah Project was probably one of the only places who could attempt raising and successfully re-introducing leopard cubs into the wild. Since this is where we did most of our guiding from, I felt fairly "chuffed" with myself for being involved with this project during the latter stages just prior to release.
Anyway – nothing is ever easy where rehab of predators is concerned and the story basically begins when they were about two years old and after their very successful reintroduction onto the Kapama Game Reserve.
During this stage we had a student programme, for which I was responsible for, where wildlife and veterinary students from all walks of life could come and have a 1 month experiential training phase on our reserve. As it was quite a huge responsibility and I was still fairly "young" I was under the watchful eye of a very well known wildlife "guru" who showed me the very "necessary" ropes.
Now… to fully understand the situation it is quite important to "elaborate" a bit about this earlier mentioned wildlife "guru"! A man of few words (let alone swear words), humble, highly skilled in all things "bush" (even threw knifes in self defense) and to say the least…a walking encyclopedia!
Being the first reserve to my knowledge to attempt a successful leopard rehab and release, it was quite obvious that we would want to follow the progress of our female leopards after their release. Both were collared with transmitters and I can even to the day remember their different frequencies on our very old, outdated and well worn omni- directional receiver. The "star" of my story was "No 15" who was by no means a shy or "skittish" cat but rather an unpredictable diva and somewhat "bitchy" to say the least! Her sister "No 19" was the quiet one of the two and mostly did her best to stay undetected … managed that quite well too.
So here we were, fully kitted out. Our "guru" with the receiver and antenna in his hands, me behind him with the rifle, and 13 overly enthusiastic wildlife students with all the latest photographic equipment (all bells and whistles attached} in single file behind me, pushing through some of the thickest riverine bush Kapama can offer, on our way to find our leopard.
I at this point I would like to mention that the only reason I was "blessed" to carry the rifle was because it was heavy and the "guru" didn't want too! Also, I could for the life of me not ever distinguish the horrible screeching, scratching and annoying noises from the receiver from the "bleep- bleep" sounds one could "apparently" hear as the receiver picked up the transmitter around the leopards neck.
So the trouble begins… Now I am sure you can imagine that this is a kind of privilege bestowed on very few… even guides working in the industry today… and the "privilege" we had that day was one I will probably not soon forget!
About 40 minutes into our adventure the "guru" informed us that he got the signal from the leopard and that she was not to far away… Obviously the pressure and excitement mounted and we could just barely control the 13 students behind us and every now and then a fairly "hostile" tongue lashing from me was the only way…
On we went, crouching… stopping… listening and watching the "guru" as he went about his business in trying to decipher the almost inaudible "signal" from the leopard. Now… when you know you are this close to a "possible" leopard on foot, you cannot help to notice the veins throbbing in your forehead and your heart beating in your ears. Wait, hang on..! This could maybe have been the scorching 40°C heat we were trekking in on our little "adventure".
Anyway… after a couple of minutes the "guru" stopped abruptly… causing the train of students bumping into one another like dominos. Imagine now… since we left the vehicle, none of them had their eyes away from their cameras' viewfinders for more than a couple of seconds at a time… too scared that they might miss this big moment when we actually get to view this leopard…
The confusion ended and we eagerly awaited instruction from the "guru". He pointed towards something about 10 or 15 meters ahead of us and again the "tongue lashing" to gain control as the keen photographers all fell out of the line to get a picture of the leopard on foot…
Just some way off towards our left, on the slopes of a dry riverbed we spotted a fresh Impala kill obviously made by our quarry! At this stage I would like to remind everyone that a leopard could be one of the most dangerous predators… now add the fact that she was hand reared, with no real "respect" for humans and to top it all on a fresh kill… one word… TROUBLE!
Everything went deathly quiet (even the throbbing in our heads)… and as the "guru" scanned the area beyond the kill all hell broke loose… She came charging out of the bushes towards us from the left rear of our group with eyes flashing and growling noises that would scare the daylights out of the most seasoned game ranger, not to mention our 13 students and me that have barely witnessed any leopards in the wild, let alone an "obvious" annoyed one!
After what seemed to be "forever" I realized that I had the rifle and am probably responsible to get us out of this trouble. I was however so startled by the "guru" that had a complete personality change and was screaming, swearing and shouting… keeping no secrets in letting this poor female leopard know exactly what he thinks of her and where she should fly to… all the time swinging the antenna at her looking like a chopper about the lift off!!!
Round about the time I saw one of the students crouching to get a better picture of this certain "doom" awaiting us, I gathered my whit's again and let off with some verbal abuse on him that would make a pirate seem like a Sunday school teacher, all the time trying to find the leopard in my sights. In a situation like this the last thing you want to do is let yourself look smaller!
I never did find her in my sights, and as I though I was now ready to be the hero and shoot she was no longer there, but turned around and disappeared as quickly as she came!
Slowly we started hearing the bush around us again and after some big sighs of relieve we left the area amazingly quickly!
That evening around the camp fire I asked the "guru" (transformed back to his former "quiet" self) if we were in any "real" trouble. His answer… Hell yes! It was close…

A good sighting of a snake in the wild can be quite a rare event, and as it is so difficult to spot snakes in the wild it is somehow always an exhilarating experience for guides and guest alike.
Most of our snake "sightings" are mostly met with a scream from someone, and soon afterwards the excitement will set in. This morning we were driving along in search of animals when we spotted a snake sailing across the road ahead of us. We pulled up alongside the spot the snake went of the road and entered the bush. A bit disappointed we thought our changes of spotting him were spoiled, but in true style my tracker spotted it again a short distance from the roads' edge. Having the opportunity to identify the snake was very cool, and me and my tracker immediately new this was one of those you do not want to mess with… a Mozambique Spitting Cobra.
The snake rose up above the grass and spreaded it's hood in true cobra style with the distinct black bands on it's throat clearly visible! The rest of the body is a lighter brown colour and it is quite difficult to miss-id this snake with its aggressive demeanor.
It kept it's defensive pose for longer than I would have expected, making us understand clearly to stay away from him, before disappearing into the bushes.
Mozambique Spitting Cobras are fairly widespread in our region and because of their aggressiveness and bad temper they have quite a bad reputation amongst most people here and in local villages. Luckily their warning signs are loud and clear and only a fool would dare to not take heed… If not you would probably be met with a stream of venom from the fangs aimed directly at your eyes. This in itself would be a very uncomfortable and painful experience. Most people however understand their behaviour and they are suprisingly enough responsible for very little snakebite incidences around the area!
Should you get bitten, a deadly cocktail of cyto- and nuero-toxic venom would be injected through hypodermic needle like fangs and cause you severe pain, discomfort and gradual collapse of your whole neurological system. Luckily it is quite a "slow working" venom and you should have ample time getting to a doctor who should be able to reverse the effect of the bite. You should make a full recovery unless you develop a massive allergic reaction to the proteins in the venom, in which case death might be a very real possibility…
As always it is normally a VERY good idea to stay away from snakes you encounter, even more so if you don't' know which type they are. If you understand the warning signs, do not ever ignore them as they are there for a reason, and these will save you a very unpleasant trip to the emergency room.

Kapama Southern Camp
Two days ago our resident Cheetah males managed to bring down a young Kudu cow in a well wooded area just outside Southern Camp lodge entrance. Rather than a full out chase for which they are known for, we imagined that they probably altered their hunting style a bit and opted for an "ambush" attack. The combined weight of these to males was probably to much for the Kudu cow, and they should have managed to bring her down quite easily despite the prey animal out-weighing the predators by far.
Male Cheetah are known to form coalitions, who together will fight off rival males and this also allows them to "tackle" much larger prey than they would normally be able to handle by themselves.
One of the males injured his paw during the struggle, but it luckily it doesn't appear to be too serious and he should make a full recovery.
We will however monitor him over the next few days , as even slight injuries can sometimes be fatal for Cheetah, more so if it renders them incapable to fend off other predators or even unable to hunt. Luckily we see them quite often around this area and they are already known as the Southern Camp boys.
We will keep you updated on their progress…
Westley Lombard – Southern Camp Senior Ranger
(Photos, courtesy of Mrs Julia Chan… Thank you Julia!)
This morning we once again braved the wet weather conditions and went on drive sort of expecting not to see too much. Boy was I wrong!
Not long after we left Southern Camp we happen upon a herd of Blue Wildebeest crossing the road, and noticed that two of the cows were in labour. As this is something few people witness, we decided to sit in the pouring rain and experience the birth of a brand new baby wildebeest.
Gestation period for a Wildebeast is roughly about 8 and a half months, with calves arriving from around September into December and even as late as towards the end of January.
It is truly an amazing experience witnessing a birth, even in soaking rain and see a newborn taking its first wobbly steps.
Westley Lombard – Southern Camp
The last few days have proved to be quite demanding wile searching for animals. With the combination of rain and cold, the animals seems to be hiding and find shelter in the most "unreachable" places.
We knew the lions have been in an inaccessible area through a sodic site on which we cannot drive, and the elephants kept on the move since the birth of a new calf into the herd. Maybe they are trying to show the new addition to the herd the area in which he will spend the next 60 years. We'll never know!
I had the privilege of driving a group of German guests who, after running the Two Oceans marathon in South Africa, decided to come on a short safari here with us at Kapama Lodge. The first three drives were somewhat difficult because of the weather conditions, but this morning everything came together nicely and we had an awesome drive which more than made up for the previous "slower" ones…
About five minutes into the drive we finaly found a breeding herd of elephants with the new born following closely behind mom's heels. After spending some time here we found a Rhino mother and calf, just waking up after spending the night sleeping in a dry river bed.
Upon leaving them we all then decided that we could do with a nice cup of coffee and we stopped at one of the many scenic waterholes on the Eastern side of the reserve. When we were just about done and ready to go a whole herd of Buffalo came wandering to the waters edge for a drink and what a fantastic sighting this was.
It soon became time to head back to the lodge for breakfast, but not before we spotted 3 young lioneses sleeping under an Acacia tree a mere 5 metres from the road.
This dramatic end to a two day safari was as memorable for me as it was to my lovely German guests…

I had two sites. The main one is very stable, but the second one goes up and down very often, almost one week up and one week down. This week, it stays longer than usual and I hope Google found a way to keep results consistant. Both sites are ranked higher than before.
[edited by: tedster at 2:03 am (utc) on May 2, 2007]
same here just a few DC's so far
Could you post them? This is an improvement for us; [184.108.40.206...]
But I don't think this is where it's going, rather where its been.
And there are more. Less than 50% of all DC's so far but it does not look good..
I don't seriously think Google will stick with these serps as, like I said, as well as a change in general ranking it looks like sites that have big paid link or internal cross-linking networks are prospering here...
Maybe google will reintroduce filters into these new serps at some point?..
yep thats the one hitting the Uk right now and where I'm seeing all the improvement
All the sites that have recently been penalised are back. The sites that have been yo-yoing in and out for months, are all back.
There must be some sort of filter yet to be applied.

Are all sites out of the filter, or do you still have many filtered. Also, DC watchers, in how many DC has this spread to?
Still, the one word search changes are massive, all over the place, and extraordinarily poor quality. Multiple words seem fine... so perhaps there is something to have universal search has somehow completely bumblefiddled one word searches.

Product Description
Review from previous edition: "Blackstone's Employment Law Practice provides an excellent guide to the increasingly complex world of practice and procedure in employment law, both in tribunals and the civil courts. The appendices are particularly useful. No employment lawyer should be without it." --Barry J. Clarke, Partner, Russell Jones and Walker, Cardiff and national chairman of the Employment Lawyers' Association
"Containing statutes and key materials along with a concise commentary on procedure and substantive law, this invaluable book has everything you need to advise clients and appear before tribunals with confidence. Why use multiple books when this one is the only one you need?" --Jody Atkinson, Barrister, St Johns' Chambers
"Practitioners have been waiting for a one-volume compendium like this for years. It is often the only book you need to take to the tribunal...Every authoritative statement you need at your fingertips." --Jeremy Nixon, BirdandBird, the New Law Journal
"This is a new and innovative volume that deserves a place in the employment law library." --Philip Wood, Dawsons, the ELA Briefing
"It is extremely valuable to have all the key areas of procedure and practice summarised into a single volume. I found the sections on tribunal practice to be the most valuable, set out in a clearly accessible manner with helpful explanations of difficult points. The legislation is well selected, and the summaries of the substantive law proved to be useful reminders of the key issues. And all this for a price far more reasonable than one might imagine for a work of this quality." --Geoffrey Mead, Partner, Collyer Bristow
"This book is very useful for union lawyers, officers and representatives dealing with employment law casework, as it combines substantive law with clear explanations of procedural rules in one volume." --Lucy Anderson, NUT
"The volume is a very useful, reliable and portable work of reference both for busy practitioners and those who may not appear in employment tribunals regularly." --Janet Gaymer CBE QC, Commissioner for Public Appointments
Book Description
Drawing together comprehensive coverage of practice and procedure in the employment tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal, and Central Arbitration Committee, Blackstone's Employment Law Practice 2012 is an essential purchase for any serious employment practitioner. Ideal for preparing for and during a case in tribunal or court, it includes trusted advice on specialist topics, such as the application of TUPE and the calculation of costs. This new edition draws together comprehensive coverage of practice and procedure in the courts and tribunals, making it an essential purchase for every employment practitioner. An eminent team of authors bring together consummate experience of every aspect of employment law and practice to offer up-to-date advice and commentary on the latest developments in substantive law and procedure, including the continuing changes brought about by the Equality Act 2010. Blackstone's Employment Law Practice 2012 offers: * Unparalleled coverage and practical explanation of employment law and procedure in the employment tribunal and civil courts * A new chapter on insolvency and an expanded discussion of the tax treatment of awards * Updated coverage of relevant case law and legistlation across all areas of employment law * A range of flowcharts and procedural checklists to provide immediate clarification of complex procedural issues * Clear page design to ensure easy navigation and quick access to essential information * Appendices offering quick and easy access to current and historical financial dataSee all Product Description

Is there a way to allow html in the widget description area?
Is there a way to allow html in the widget description area?
I should be able to accommodate that in the next release. Make it behave similar to the text widget.
Thanks! That would be great.
How can I change the order of my progress bars? I have 5 bars and I want them to show up in the order of the events which they relate to and right now they are showing up in the reverse order. I tried changing the order of the ids in the widget but it did not make a difference.
pamw: They should just be ordering by post date. There's no way to adjust that right now, but I'll add it as something to look into for the next release. https://github.com/tddewey/tdd-progress/issues/11
Hi there, is it possible to implement this great plugin with the crowdfunding plugin by Greg Priday? I want it to show the values from the input from a project made in that plugin automatic, = i dont want to add data in the "TDD Progress bars" Admin. If this is possible it would be great, then i can use just 1 progress bar and it would calculate the percentage from "Funded amount" and "My Wanted Amount".
I've not used that plugin, but if it allows you to get a specific integer or count, you can set up one of my progress bars and then use the
tdd_pb_calculated_percentage filter to adjust the value as described in the FAQ.
I don't plan on integrating native support for other plugins.
add_filter( 'tdd_pb_calculated_percentage', 'change_percentage', 10, 2 );
function change_percentage($percentage, $id){
//Only apply to post (bar) ID 120, if it isn't 120, just return
if ($id != 120)
return $percentage;
$newpercentage = $percentage_calculated_from_plugin
return $newpercentage;

Christopher is an Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction in Early Childhood Education and a Fellow in Priscilla Pond Flawn Regents Professorship in Early Childhood Education. He currently serves as the Program Coordinator and Graduate Advisor for the Early Childhood Education Program Area. He is also the Chair for the Early Education/Child Development Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association.
His research centers on early childhood education stakeholders across a range of political and educational contexts respond to policymakers' high-stakes standards-based accountability reforms. His recent work focuses on understanding how practicing and pre-service early childhood educators in high-stakes public teaching contexts can engage in practices that support the cultural, individual, and developmental learning needs of children. He has looked at this issue across a range of political and educational contexts using multiple theoretical and practitioner-based perspectives that span the fields of early childhood education, curriculum and instruction, teacher education, and policy analysis.
Such work has led to empirical, theoretical, and practitioner-oriented publications on such topics as: high-stakes standards-based accountability reform in early childhood, early learning standards, pre-kindergarten (Pre-k) assessment, Pre-k alignment with elementary school, school readiness, culturally relevant and developmentally appropriate teaching, kindergarten within a standardized education system, neoliberal reform, teacher education, professional development, and teaching a mandated curriculum.

I have updated this plugin recently.
And I find it works well with Firefox but IE 8.I have found three problems:
1.With IE,the animate transition is too hard(not smooth)
2.When I click next button,the fadein picture is a more next one.
3.If I click the button more frequently the IE will be halted and then the IE will throw a alert "Out of memory at line:93".
Hope these problems will be solved well.
At last,thanks for providing such a good plugin.

Portrait painter, born in Co. Tipperary, probably a member of the now extinct family of Lathams of Meldrum and Ballysheehan. Educated in Antwerp, where he became a Master of the Guild of St Luke 1724–5. Said to have returned to Dublin by 1725, and probably visited England in the 1740s, as the influence of Highmore is very noticeable in his work of this period. Died in Dublin 26 January 1747.

Physicists Finally Find a Way To Test Superstring Theory
By GEORGE JOHNSON
Published: April 4, 2000
For a quarter of a century, superstring theory has promised that the universe could be understood more deeply than ever before, with all the forces unified into one, if it were seen in a startling new light -- as a kind of mathematical music played by an orchestra of tiny vibrating strings. Each note in this cosmic symphony would represent one of the many different kinds of particles that make up matter and energy.
But despite heroic efforts to keep this strange vision alive, with one mathematical embellishment after another, a seemingly fatal credibility problem has remained: no one has been able to figure out how to test the idea with experiments.
To give the strings enough wiggle room to carry out their virtuoso performance, theorists have had to supplement the familiar three dimensions of space with six more -- curled up so tiny that they would be explorable only with absurdly high-powered particle accelerators the size of an entire galaxy. It's a fact of life on the subatomic realm that smaller and smaller distances take higher and higher energies to probe.
In the last few months, however, new ideas emerging from the theoretical workshops offer some hope of connecting the airy speculations to reality. Physicists are proposing a revised view in which at least one of the extra dimensions is vastly larger -- large enough perhaps to be indirectly detected with existing accelerators.
''This is a field day for the experimenters,'' said Dr. Joseph Lykken, a theoretical physicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Ill. ''Now there are all these things they can look for.'' In fact, he ventured, it is conceivable that experimenters have already found subtle hints of other dimensions. They just have had no way of appreciating what they were seeing.
Though human brains are not wired to picture a world beyond the familiar three dimensions of space, one can begin to overcome this myopia by pretending to be antlike creatures in a two-dimensional fantasy world like the one in Edwin A. Abbott's story ''Flatland.'' Confined to the surface of a plane, the Flatlanders can move left and right or forward or backward, but the idea of up and down is inconceivable to them.
Now suppose this two-dimensional world were rolled into a long tube. The Flatlanders could still move in only two directions -- along or around the outside surface of their soda straw universe. But if the diameter of the straw were made extremely tiny, this second, curled-up dimension would essentially disappear.
It has long been assumed that if, as required by superstring theory, our own world is accompanied by additional dimensions, they too would have to be extremely tiny, curled up smaller than what physicists call the Planck length, which is a hundred million trillion times smaller than the width of a proton. To every point in space would be attached a vanishingly tiny six-dimensional ball.
But the price for curling up the extra dimensions and tucking them out of sight has been rendering superstring theory untestable. The subatomic realm is explored by smashing together particles with powerful accelerators and then studying the debris. Peeking below the Planck scale would require collisons of unimaginable energies.
''For the first 25 years, the thinking has been that superstring theory is so difficult to see experimentally that you have to figure it out by its own mathematical consistency and beauty,'' Dr. Lykken said. ''Now that's completely changed. If this new picture is true, it makes everything we've been talking about testable.''
But the result is a picture of reality that is no less weird than before. Imagine again the two-dimensional realm of Flatland. Suppose now that it is surrounded by an infinitely large, three-dimensional ''hyperspace.'' And maybe there are also other Flatlands floating around inside the third dimension -- parallel universes separated by what to these two-dimensional denizens would be an uncrossable void.
Take this vision and move up an extra dimension and you arrive at the theory that is currently causing all the intellectual commotion. Dr. Lisa Randall of Princeton University and Dr. Raman Sundrum of Stanford University suggest that what we think of as The Universe may be just one of many islands -- three-dimensional versions of Flatland -- floating inside a surrounding megaverse with four spatial dimensions.
Each ruled by different laws of physics, the various island universes would be inaccessible to one another. But the tantalizing prospect exists that each would be able to barely sense the other's presence through the weak tug of its gravitational pull.
The idea may be easy to dismiss as absurd. But in return for a suspension of disbelief, the new theories suggest answers to some of the biggest riddles of physics. Cosmologists have inferred that as much as 90 percent of the universe must be made from invisible matter that emits or absorbs no light, that is evident only through its gravity.
But what is the source of this mysterious dark matter? Maybe it is just ordinary matter trapped on another island universe, with its gravity but not its light able to cross the fourth-dimensional divide.

Bradley Decisions Alexander, Technical Ruling in Ten
By Mark Vester
Pontiac, Michigan - Before a crowd of 6,247 at the Silverdome, Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11KOs) won a ten round technical decision over Devon Alexander (21-1, 13KOs) to unify the WBO and WBC junior welterweight titles. The scores were 97-93, 96-95 and 98-93 for Bradley.
The fight began with a close intense battle with both boxers throwing jabs and picking their spots. Bradley did the best work with flurry of punches near the end as he got Alexander against the ropes. Bradley appeared to shake up Alexander in the third with a combination. There seemed be a minor cut suffered by Alexander above his right eye during the action. In the fourth, Bradley landed a few hard right hands to push Alexander back. The middle rounds were very close, with both boxers going back and forth with tactical shots. Bradley was getting the minor edge but the rounds could have easily gone in the other direction.
After several head clashes, there was a real bad one in the tenth round. Alexander was unable to see from the injured right eye and the doctor stopped the fight after the boxer said he could not see. The HBO replay showed the clash of heads hitting the other side of Alexander's head, away from the injured eye, which confused the announcers. There is a rematch clause in both directions

Kimi Raikkonen was lapped by title rival Sebastian Vettel on Sunday, on a weekend when he never appeared to have the pace to fight for victory and finished ninth.
But despite the deficit in performance seen in Montreal, team principal Eric Boullier thinks the situation will be dramatically different at Silverstone because that track will suit the Lotus much better.
"This is a very specific track, and with our car we could just not switch the tyres on," Boullier told AUTOSPORT. "It does not help as well when it is cold and it is wet.
"Our pace was not so bad with Romain [Grosjean] in practice but, if you look at the race, we were 1.5 seconds slower than Red Bull and Mercedes.
"You do not lose 1.5 seconds from one race to another one. It is just that something went wrong.
"We have some good developments coming for Silverstone, so that should help us keep up and close the gap to the leader.
"And with normal tracks we should be able to get the best out of our car."
Boullier does not believe Lotus's recent downturn in results is a sign that it is losing out in the development race.
"We lost positions, so we have to work hard to keep the pace," he said. "But we know the car is competitive, and the team is competitive.
"There is no reason why we should not be back fighting for podiums.
"We didn't have the five podiums in a row since the start of the season just by chance or coincidence. It is because the package is competitive.
"But we may struggle some time on some tracks. We know this and we have to work on this to at least avoid this happening this season at low energy tracks - and next year as well."

|Date: 8/30/2003 12:06 AM

|Number: 600 of 5138
Is it my turn to brag about my Foolish parents? (loooooooooooong)
They married right out of college (well, Dad had been out a year) in 1966. The kitchen table they bought - a wood one - now sits in our house. My mom always tells me how thrilled she was to buy it. She didn't think they'd have enough money for a wood table and would have to get an old formica one. (Which she could probably sell on eBay for big "retro" bucks theses days, but i digress.) I'm wondering what they sacrificed for that table...
Dad told me that his mother gave them a box of random non-perishable food for their first apartment. Money was usually tight 'round month's end. He said if it weren't for some of the soup Granny had given them, they'd have gone hungry a few times.
They bought a 3BR/1.75 new l'il ranch in 1969 and had to borrow $700 from my mom's parents as a down payment. (The house cost $20K.) Grandmother later told Mom that she and Grandfather never thought they'd see that money again. (My parents paid that back first - and within a few months.)
They thought they'd trade up a few years down the line, but the interest rates went insane in the 70s and they stayed put. By the time the 80s rolled around, there really wasn't much point in moving, since they'd be empty nesters in ten years. So, as my dad says, their starter home became their retirement home.
They had one car until they bought a Fiat convertible in the early 1970s from a neighbor after he got over his mid-life crisis. They held onto it until 1976 when they got the first of two station wagons. They did buy new - mostly because they recognized their weakness in not knowing cars very well - but held onto cars for as long as possible. In 1986, my grandmother sold us her pristine three-year old Cutlass for the price the dealer said he'd give her. (This was the car my brother and i learned to drive in.) This repeated every few years and our house resembled a used Olds dealership. The next one replaced the 1976 station wagon (donated to Volunteers of America); the following one replaced the 1985 station wagon (given to me as a college graduation present to trade-in [$2000] for my first car). This continued until my grandmother's car keys were pried from her hands (under protest - but for the best, really). Mom drove this last Olds until Grandmother passed away and it was given to my brother.
Dad got his dream car, a Cadillac, shortly after retirement (at age 55) and said, "It finally happened: I paid more for a car than i did for my house." Mom just got her dream car, a zippy little Volvo, a few months ago, after my brother took over Grandmother's last car.
They LBYMed without thinking - raised that way. Neither were dirt poor, though my dad probably grew up pretty close but had food, shelter and clothing, certainly. (As a little girl, i once asked my Grandmother how she could afford to buy me presents all the time since "Mom says you were really poor when she was growing up!") They taught us about choices - sure, they COULD buy new cars and homes and clothes and toys, but they preferred to save for emergencies and retirement rather than max out their credit. (Mom retired a year after Dad at age 52.)
Dad, the financial whiz, leapt into the 401(k) as soon as it was offered in the late 1970s. He swears if it had been available when he started working in his late teens, he could have retired at age 40. Regardless, he plugged money into savings vehicles. (I don't know the particulars of his portfolio, but he does rave about American Funds and their very low costs.) They opted not to pay down their mortgage, btw, and used the $200+/- per month elsewhere (see aforementioned savings vehicles). It was paid off in 1999 - which my mom said seemed like SUCH an eternity when she signed the papers thirty years prior.
They weren't perfect. They bought a rental property, thinking it would pay for our college educations. They quickly discovered they were not good landlords. A year or so later, they sold it and about broke even. They still managed put us both through college. (Dad worked through college and swore no kid of his would have to do that.) In hindsight, he and i agree that i should have had a bit more responsibility in that depar
