Isabelle Jane "Belle" Herrington, and older brother, Benjamin Thomas Herrington.
Photo circa 1945.
During the last four or five years of her life, my Aunt Jean was a tremendous source of information about some of the folks in our family tree.

It was when she and I were looking at my copy of the photo above, shared by my Aunt Mary Ann, that Aunt Jean told me about Belle Herrington's first marriage. She said her grandaunt Belle - her mother's paternal aunt - had been married first to a man named Boyd Thomason. She said it was a brief marriage, and then, Aunt Belle married Smith Lochridge.

I dutifully made the notes, and later, set out to find out about Aunt Belle's first, brief marriage.
I never could find a record of that first marriage.

And to complicate things, I found Aunt Belle in the 1920 census in Sparkman, in Dallas County, working as a "servant in a hotel." I thought that was odd, because most of the rest of her family lived in Malvern, in Hot Spring County, with the exception of her oldest brother, Jasper, who lived in Clark County.

Aunt Belle was a widow with two children.

And her last name was Jones. I scoured all the usual places to find the departed Mr. Jones, to no avail.

And concluded that Aunt Belle was married to Mr. Jones no later than age 21, so how could there have been an earlier marriage to anyone named Boyd Thomason?
In the fall of 2013, I published this entry, stating that Aunt Belle had not been married to anyone named Boyd Thomason, and if anyone reading the entry could tell me who Mr. Jones was, to please contact me.

I got that contact last week, by email.

From a descendant of the Thomason family, who knew quite a lot about Aaron Boyd Thomason.

Aaron Boyd Thomason was born on 26 Nov 1878 in Butler Co., KY to Thomas Lindsey Thomason and Mary E Langford. He was nearly ten years older than Aunt Belle.

According to my Thomason correspondent, Boyd (he was called by his middle name) and his brother Vivian, traveled multiple times in the early 1900s to Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma to work the oil fields and the timber industry. He surmises that it must have been on one of those trips to Arkansas that Boyd met and married Belle. He also said that Boyd owned a hotel and some stores in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

And he sent photos of the family that span a period roughly between 1910 (shortly after their daughter Ethel's birth) to about 1913, shortly after their son Thomas Boyd Thomason's birth.

Thomas Boyd Thomason, born 16 Feb 1912
So then, I wondered...what happened to the marriage?

By 1920, Belle was calling herself a widow. That was a very common occurrence for women who were divorced, a shameful marital status in those days.

Both the children were born in Kentucky, Boyd's family home. I found a birth record for Thomas, and he was born in Paducah, McCracken Co., KY.

And I wondered about that. Why would Belle have been in Kentucky? Could her bridegroom have wanted to get her away from her own family? Was Belle's family disapproving of her choice in a mate?

But even more curious - why did Belle change her last name?
The Thomason descendant who emailed me had other information that caused me to think of some possible reasons why Belle Herrington was not simply content to be Belle Thomason.

In 1926, Boyd Thomason returned to Kentucky. To Logan County, where he robbed the Auburn bank. Although the bank robbery took place long after Belle and Boyd split (I keep remembering Aunt Jean saying it was a brief first marriage), what if Belle had become aware of some shady business dealings? Or some outright crimes?

I think it is possible that Belle and Boyd split up before he registered for the draft during World War I, in 1918. He did not list a wife as his nearest living relative.

What if Belle did not want to be connected in any way, shape or form to Boyd Thomason - and didn't want her kids connected to him either?

Or what if it was dangerous to be known as the ex-wife of Boyd Thomason?
Belle changed her surname and that of her children at a time when people could do that with no legal messiness. You just started using your new name, and that was that.

Her children retained Jones as their legal surnames - Ethel until her marriage to Orvel James Jones, and Thomas Boyd for the rest of his life, which included a stint in the United States Navy during World War II.

Belle remarried, to Smith Lochridge in 1927. They were living with Belle's daughter and son-in-law in the 1940 census, in Weleetka, Okfuskee Co., OK. Smith Lochridge died in 1941, and Belle spent her later years living in Weleetka, close to her daughter. Belle died in 1973 and is buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in Weleetka.

But Boyd Thomason lost the care and comfort of his family.
The 1930 census found Boyd doing time in the Kentucky Branch Penitentiary in Eddyville, KY.

I couldn't find him in the 1940 census. But I found him on 28 Apr 1943, in Terre Haute IN when he had to register for the old men's draft for World War II.

He was 64 years old, homeless, unemployed, and no one would know how to get in touch with him.

From my Thomason email correspondent:
His family here in Kentucky didn't want anything to do with him because he almost took them down with him. After the bank robbery, my grandfather rode him across the river in his wagon (not knowing he was on the run) and he hid the money under a fence post on my great-grandfather's farm (his brother). They were both mentioned in the newspaper articles and just barely avoided arrest. Nobody trusted him after that. I've heard a great aunt of mine who remembered him say he abandoned his family out west.
Aaron Boyd Thomason died on 24 Nov 1945 in Mount Vernon, Jefferson Co., IL. He was buried three days later in Oakwood Cemetery in Mount Vernon.

I understand he had cousins there.

Isabelle Jane Herrington and brother, Benjamin Thomas Herrington. Photo circa 1945

I looked to see what I knew about this great grand aunt of mine. Not much. I figured I needed to try and flesh her out - make her more real to me.

The photo was a decent beginning.
Several frustrating hours of internet searches gave me more on Isabelle Jane Herrington.

Like she hardly ever - not even in legal documents - was called either Isabelle or Jane.

She was Belle.

The hours of searching also blew up part of the oral family history. Belle Herrington was not married first to a man named Boyd Thomason in 1909.

Because in the 1920 census (I could not find the 1910), Belle Herrington was Belle Jones, and she had two children living with her - a daughter named Ethel and a son named Thomas. Belle said she was a widow, working as a servant in a hotel. The family lived in Sparkman in Dallas Co., AR.

Given Belle's son's name - Thomas Jones, I began to wonder if his father's name was Boyd Thomas Jones, or Thomas Boyd Jones.

In the 1930 census, that hunch got stronger.
Part of the oral family history had it that Belle married in 1927 for a second time to S L Lockridge.

That was closer. Her new husband's name was Smith Louisa Lochridge (with an H not a K), and Belle and her son, Thomas B Jones (shown as Smith's step-son) were living in Seminole, Seminole Co., OK.

In 1940, I found Smith and Belle Lochridge living with Eythel Jones Jones and her husband, Orvel James Jones, along with their three children in Weleetka, Okfuskee Co., OK, where Belle Herrington died and was buried in 1973.

Smith Louisa Jones died in Miller Co., AR in 1941, and was buried in Oakland Cemetery, Fordyce, Dallas Co., AR. That may have been to have his grave closer to his children from his first marriage.
I never heard anything about great grand aunt Belle Herrington as I was growing up.

But I also never heard my maternal grandmother, Addie Louise Herrington, say anything about the Herringtons who stayed in Grant County, either - the children of Hardy Holmes Herrington and Martha J Cummings. These were Belle's paternal aunts and uncles, like Mary Emeline Herrington, married to Uriah Poss. Or Belle's paternal uncle, Jasper Lee Herrington, who married Sarah Elizabeth Frances Poss.

The only Herringtons I heard about as a child were the ones who lived in and around Malvern (Hot Spring Co.) and Arkadelphia (Clark Co.).

So now, I wonder why.
Anyone with information about the father of Eythel and Thomas B Jones, please contact me, either by commenting to this entry, or you can email me at:

Ohio was watched carefully in the 2012 national election as a political bellwether state to predict the outcome. Now, our state is being observed with great interest as we measure the breath and pace of the encouraging real estate market recovery.
Lawrence Yun, the chief economist of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), shared his forecast at the winter conference of the Ohio Association of Realtors in Columbus. Yun paid special attention to what's happening to our market in Ohio and presented positive research analysis with which we can plan as we move forward into 2013.
There are still economic issues to be confronted as the country moves ahead with financial challenges of tax amendments and deficits, but the NAR economist's presentation told us several reasons why buyers and sellers of Ohio homes and businesses can have a high degree of confidence. While 2012 was a year of real estate sales recovery -- definitely a steady industry performance heading in the right direction -- Yun noted there is still much room for improvement.
Here are some of the Ohio real estate market characteristics he expects will drive sales activity even higher:
Housing demand is up, and supply is down.
Home sales for 2012 in Ohio and many other states topped 4.7 million. Much of the so-called "shadow inventory" of unsold and foreclosed homes was reduced greatly last year. Ohio sale prices were up an average of 5 percent in November.
Median home prices rose in the range of 5 percent to 7 percent for sales of existing homes during the past year, and the gains are expected to be sustained going forward.
Dollar volume of sales is in the range of 20 percent in the current recovery.
Household formations are rising as more families choose to buy homes again.
Low inventory also is a concern to America's homebuilders in an improving housing market. Yun said it is calculated that the U.S. needs a 100 percent increase in new home building to balance what is seen as a deficit at a time of difficulty in securing construction loans from lenders.
Job gains are beginning to show up in significant numbers.
The National Association of Realtors and its members in Ohio are working hard to ward off advocates in Congress and the federal administration who argue that the Mortgage Interest Deduction should be repealed or amended in the U.S. tax code as a strategy to reduce the federal deficit, an action that would inevitably be harmful to homeownership in our country.
Yun stated that the Mortgage Interest Deduction has no effect on the deficit, which is caused by ongoing federal spending, not this tax concession, according to NAR economic research.
Please do not hesitate to email me at email@example.com with any comments or questions.

Like the middle child in a large family, it's easy to overlook the City Gallery, especially when such a wealth of venues surrounds it. But given its convenient Town Hall location, there's really no excuse. The Gallery presents a free, annual program of exhibitions that draw on the City of Melbourne's extensive art and heritage collection and archives. Devised by specialist curators, each show explores aspects of the city's cultural, historical and artistic life. Recent exhibitions have featured an artistic exploration of the tough life of a tree in the city environment and a profile on the equally tough life of the parking officer.

After rebounding last week, Mark Burnett's new reality series for ABC Expedition: Impossible (1.4/4) slipped again, down 13%. Meanwhile, its lead-in, Wipeout (1.9/7), and lead-out, Rookie Blue (1.3/4), were both even with last week. Fox's So You Think You Can Dance result show (1.6/6) was down 6% and followed by a Glee rerun. CBS' Big Brother (2.7/8, 7.3 million) at 9 PM was up a tenth from last week to once again rank as the top program of the night and lead CBS (1.8/6, 6.3 million) to a nightly victory despite featuring reruns in two of the three hours of primetime. NBC aired all repeats.

BIG BROTHER keeps improving and keeps improving. Glad to know my favourite reality show won't be going anywhere for a while!
Expedition, Dance, and Big Brother are the titles that made it into the headline. All reality series. Gad, I hate summer.

Since Etsy.com's launch in 2005, the online marketplace has been helping connect crafters and indie entrepreneurs with like-minded consumers. The site also maintains an active Twitter presence (@Etsy). While Etsy embraces crafters and artists of all kinds, eco-friendly or upcycled items have proven particularly popular.
"We're obviously big fans of anything that's eco-friendly," says Adam Brown, an Etsy spokesperson. "We highlight [selected eco-friendly products] through our blog posts and our email lists."
Akiko Oguchi uses Etsy to promote 5th Season, her Portland, Oregon-based line of upcycled handbags, and when her products were recently featured on Etsy's homepage, she noticed a huge spike in interest. "I checked my shop and had over 1,000 more views, about 100 new "hearts" (the same as "liking" something on Facebook), orders, interviews… all within that hour!" she says.
Oguchi began using Etsy a few months ago and says it simplifies transactions for the seller and the customer. But for her, the biggest benefit has been the chance to learn from the Etsy community. "They have a great blog and forums where you can ask all sorts of questions. Within minutes people will be answering them," she explains.
Etsy also offers teams, self-organized groups of Etsy sellers around geography or common interests like upcycling or eco-friendly crafting. Brown encourages crafters to join teams, because "from a business perspective, it's a great way to get advice from other people working in your field."
Oguchi estimates that she's joined around 20 teams so far. "There's one specifically for Portland, which I like because I can actually interact with people outside of the Etsy website," she adds. "We have monthly meetups where we get together and discuss how to price things or how to use different tools and applications on Etsy."
Etsy's Shop Local function also allows customers to search for crafters in their geographic area so they can reduce their carbon footprint by picking up the item instead of having it shipped.
"It's a wonderful community," says Oguchi. "I love the fact that everybody one there is so open and supportive. It feels like we're headed for a joint goal of responsible consuming."

(1st Add: Includes comments from Louise Melling, director of the American Civil Liberties Union Reproductive Freedom Project.)
(CNSNews.com) - Federal trials begin this week on the constitutionality of the partial-birth abortion ban, and a law firm defending the ban is confident it will prevail.
The American Center for Law and Justice, which specializes in constitutional law, said the upcoming trials in New York, Nebraska, and San Francisco will serve as an important first step in defending the constitutionality of the ban and bring to an end the "barbaric medical practice."
"It is our hope that the courts will come to the same conclusion that the American people have reached: that there is no medical necessity for a barbaric practice that takes the life of a child moments before birth. It is time to end this gruesome procedure that can only be described as infanticide," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ.
Sekulow, who will attend the trial beginning on Monday in New York City, says he is encouraged by the rulings of U.S. District Court Judge Richard Casey, who has ordered the New York Presbyterian Hospital to turn over its records involving partial-birth abortions to the Justice Department.
Casey also ruled that he would permit testimony that the unborn child can feel pain during an abortion.
"It is important to establish in court the horrific nature of partial-birth abortion," said Sekulow. "In the New York case, evidence will be presented to show the violent and painful death that results from a partial-birth abortion but also the fact that there is no medical need for such a procedure."
When President Bush signed the ban into law last year, a number of pro-abortion groups immediately filed lawsuits challenging it in several cities. In the New York case, the American Civil Liberties Union is representing the National Abortion Federation and individual physicians.
Sekulow is supporting the Department of Justice in its defense of the law. The ACLJ plans to file a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the ban.
Meanwhile, the ACLU is confident the ban will be struck down, calling it "a significant threat to reproductive rights."
Louise Melling, director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, said the ban endangers women because it does not include a health exception.
"The law prohibits abortions as early as 13 weeks in pregnancy, banning a wide range of abortions in the second trimester that doctors say are safe and medically appropriate," she said in a statement.
"Because this law interferes with safe medical practice, leading medical associations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, oppose the federal ban," Melling added.
NAF members provide care for more than half of those women seeking abortions in the U.S. each year, Melling said, and the ACLU plans to establish that the ban "restricts safe, medically appropriate abortions in the second trimester."
"As the medical professionals in this case will testify, the federal abortion ban dangerously interferes with the doctor- patient relationship, preventing doctors from performing abortions in the second trimester that they know are safe and among the best to protect women's health," she said.
The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a similar ban in Nebraska four years ago, Melling points out.
"In that case, the Court blocked the law because it would have prevented doctors from performing procedures used in more than 90 percent of abortions in the second trimester, and because the ban did not include an exception to protect women's health," she said. "The federal ban suffers from the same two fatal flaws."
Melling said the ACLU and NAF are hopeful that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York will strike down the federal ban.

They're back!!! The Pirate Captain and his irascible crew of scoundrels return in their soggiest saga yet. Fresh from their mishaps with Charles Darwin and the evil Bishop of Oxford, the Pirates set sail in a bouncy new vessel -- purchased on credit. In order to repay his debts, the Pirate Captain is determined to capture the enigmatic White Whale, hunted by the notoriously moody Ahab, who has promised a reward. Chaos ensues, featuring the lascivious Cutlass Liz, the world's most dangerous mosquito, an excerpt from the Pirate Captain's novel in progress (a bodice ripper, of course), whale ventriloquism, practical lessons in whale painting, a shanty-singing contest in a Las Vegas casino, and a dra-matic climax in which the Pirate Captain's prize ham saves the day!

Barbie, the plastic princess of girlhood dreams has moved on to higher powers. Meet Rev. Barbie, a fully outfitted little blonde priest ready to bless you -- and maybe marry your Bratz dolls.
Leanne Larmondin for Religion News Service, interviews the creator of the stylish little priest, Rev. Jule Blake Fisher, a priest in Kent Ohio, who outfitted "Episcopal Church Barbie -- High Church Edition,"as a gift for a friend, Rev. Dena Cleaver-Bartholomew, rector of Christ (Episcopal) Church, in Manlius, N.Y., near Syracuse.
The 11.5-inch-tall fictional graduate of Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley, Calif., has donned a cassock and surplice and is rector at St. Barbara's-by-the-Sea in (where else?) Malibu, Calif.
She arrived at the church fully accessorized, as is Barbie's custom. Her impeccably tailored ecclesiastical vestments include various colored chasubles (the sleeveless vestments worn at Mass) for every liturgical season, black clergy shirt with white collar, neat skirt and heels, a laptop with prepared sermon and a miniature, genuine Bible.
Apparently a devotee of the "smells and bells" of High Church tradition, the Rev. Barbie even has a tiny thurible, a metal vessel used for sending clouds of incense wafting toward heaven (crafted from a teeny tea ball)...p>
She's got a Facebook page and Fisher plans to expand the line to include...
... an African-American Bishop Barbie, a Hispanic Ken doll who will be cathedral dean (rector) and his African-American friend, Stephen, will be a deacon. Barbie's little sister, Kelly, will be an acolyte. "
The little plastic priest is ideal for making any argument you like about women in the church.
Elizabeth Tenety spins this into anOn Faith look at how the Catholic Church might have avoided the sexual abuse scandal " if real women could rule."
Thomas Peters at Catholic Action.org huffs,
I think this is a very compelling argument against ordaining women priests.
The Midwest Conservative Journal has field day mocking Rev. Barbie and, through her, the liberal Episcopal Church led by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. Schori is known for supporting full inclusion for gays and lesbians in the church (and for her own colorful vestments). MCJ says:
I suppose "orthodox" Christians would raise all sorts of "theological" objections to the "ordination" of inanimate "objects" in the Episcopal "Church" as well as to their full "inclusion" in the "life" of that institution. But it seems to me that the benefits would far outweigh the risks. These include but are not limited to:
(1) Better sermons
(2) Less heresy in sermons
(3) A lessening of Anglican Communion tensions since inanimate standing committees would be far less likely to assent to the election of controversial episcopal candidates
(4) Your parish no longer has to buy as much good coffee or communion wine.
Should the Archbishop of Canterbarbie -- I mean Canterbury! -- be looking over his shoulder?

Manila, OCTOBER 2, 2003 (MALAYA) BEFORE Judy Ann Santos, Claudine Barretto and Kristine Hermosa, there was Julie Vega. One of the first Filipino soap opera icons, Julie Vega died on May 6, 1985, a day of mourning for her many generations of fans she touched with her talent and personality.
Tonight, ABS-CBN's much-awarded drama anthology "Maalaala Mo Kaya" will go back to the real story behind this pioneering drama star when it drafts "Berks" star Angelica Panganiban to play Julie Vega in this week's episode. Angelica will be joined by an ace dramatic cast led by Rio Locsin and Michael de Mesa as Julie's parents Pearl and Julio Postigo, and Kristopher Peralta, Luis Alandy, and Bryan Homecillo, among others, as Julie's brothers. Director Jerry Lopez Sineneng is at the helm of the episode written by Gilbeys Sardeja.
Born Julie Pearl Postigo, Julie Vega began her career at the tender age of three, when she did her very first TV commercial. Despite her parents' misgivings, Julie turned out to have a natural talent for acting, something she proved beyond doubt when she won the title role in the film "Mga Mata ni Angelita" after an exhaustive nationwide search.
When soap stardom came at the age of 11 via her starring role in "Annaliza," Julie's potential for further fame was sealed, which was why her sudden death shocked the entire country. What were the reasons behind Julie Vega's mysterious end? Were there any truth to any of the rumors that circulated after she died?
The episode strikes a personal note for many of the people involved in this week's production, starting with "Maalaala Mo Kaya" host Charo Santos-Concio, who played Julie's mother in a Fernando Poe, Jr. action-drama starrer, "Durugin si Totoy Bato." "I remember her as such a sweet, quiet child with so much potential," Charo recalls. "It was such a shock to wake up one day and hear she was gone."
On her side, episode star Angelica Panganiban admits that people have always remarked on how much she looked like Julie all throughout her career. At 16, Angelica is the same age as Julie was when she died.
The episode will also feature a long-unseen film footage of Julie's funeral. The footage, entrusted to ABS-CBN's film archives by the Postigo family and specially transferred to video for this episode, captures the crowds of mourners showing their unmatched sorrow at Julie's passing.
ABS-CBN broadcasts the real story behind classic soap star Julie Vega tonight right after "Teleserye Primetime Bida."

Carlton United Breweries is banking on a smartphone app to get more blokes back into pubs drinking its beer.
The brewer hopes the app will also undermine Foxtel's plans for the same AFL fans to buy a pay TV package and stay at home.
Carlton Draught is one of the few beer brands that still sells more on tap than in bottle shops.
CUB is now trying to give the pub another encouraging nudge with the launch of its Draught Pick app, which allows AFL fans to battle it out with others in the same pub, or other venues, around tipping, trivia and prizes.
The idea is to keep viewers hooked on the AFL and beer, rather than drift elsewhere at a time when beer consumption in pubs has been declining for more than a decade.
The app was launched a few weeks ago and an ad created to promote it (both projects were done though Clemenger Melbourne). It has now been downloaded 50,000 times.
CUB general manager marketing for traditional and regular beer, Andrew Meldrum, said 100,000 downloads was a possibility for the season.
"We'll give it a decent shake," he said. "The challenge for us marketers is that eyeballs are moving around from one screen to a multiscreen environment so we need to know how to engage with our drinkers beyond a 30-second TV ad.
"We know they want to be in a multiscreen world where they are multitasking and interacting, as opposed to just consuming content."
The idea for the app came from Mr Meldrum last year when he was at a pub and his brother pulled out his phone during a break in the AFL to start playing Angry Birds.
"He was just killing time," Mr Meldrum said. "I thought, surely there has got to be a way of getting people in a pub to engage with something more than Angry Birds.
"Carlton Draught's mission in life is to get people into pubs to have the best beer experience but there has been a long-term trend in the Australian beer market for off-premise consumption.
"There are societal reasons for that but we feel we lose a little bit of Australian culture if blokes aren't congregating in pubs from time to time."
Mr Meldrum said Carlton Draught was in the best position of any of the major beer brands at present to counter the rise of premium, imported and craft beers.
"Over the last 10 years they've gone from 7 per cent of the beer market to 17 per cent, largely at the expense of mainstay brands like VB, Tooheys New and Fourex Bitter," he said.
"Over the same period, though, Carlton Draught has bucked that trend. It's more than doubled in size to over 18 million cases a year."
Although Mr Meldrum said creating content and apps was an emerging challenge for CUB, the brewer was still looking to launch traditional ad campaigns.
"We're still looking for big advertising ideas for Carlton Draught at the moment but they'll probably be more linked to these other channels," he said.

MADRID (AP) A Spanish agency that represents Penelope Cruz says the Oscar-winning Spanish actress is pregnant.
The Madrid-based agency Kuranda says in a statement that 36-year-old Cruz is four-and-a-half months pregnant.
Cruz has no children. She married Spanish actor Javier Bardem, 41, in a discreet wedding in the Bahamas in July.
They appeared together in the Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona , for which Cruz won the Oscar for best supporting actress in 2009.
In 2008 Bardem won the Oscar for best supporting actor for his role in No Country for Old Men.
Kuranda gave no more details on Cruz, other than to say she is en route to London to complete filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: on Stranger Tides.

Queensland needs to exploit the movies and television programs it makes to attract more tourists, according to an industry veteran.
Producer Jonathan Shiff is currently filming the $12 million second series of the smash hit Mako: Island of Secrets at the Village Roadshow Studios in Coomera.
The action adventure series about mermaids is a spin-off from the H20: Just Add Water aimed at pre-teenage girls.
Multiple distribution deals, including with US on-demand service Netflix, have seen it draw approximately 300 million viewers worldwide.
Mr Shiff said New Zealand's ownership of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies was a great example of using a creative product as a badge of national pride.
Northern Ireland is also cashing in on fan-based tourism, with tourism advertisements and products based on Game of Thrones locations.
"We are bringing 300 million people a week pictures of Queensland, and it would be great to join the dots more so Tourism Queensland can ride that wave," Mr Shiff said.
"I don't necessarily need to see Qantas planes with Mako Mermaids on it ... but people often go through the gates at Seaworld saying 'Where are the Mako Mermaids?'
Mr Shiff said his show already had loose cross-promotion in place with Seaworld, but there were many more avenues to explore.
"I think there's a lot of potential in doing so, and there's no downside," he said.
"The intellectual property is out there, the brand is worldwide in its fame, it can be leveraged on."
The Queensland government invested $720,500 in production development funding to secure Mako Mermaids and its 500 associated jobs for the Gold Coast.
Along with Angelina Jolie's Unbroken and earthquake blockbuster San Andreas, the series is part of a pick-up in activity in the Queensland film industry, which had been in the doldrums two years ago.
Arts Minister Ian Walker said he was keen to explore ways such productions could have an economic flow-on effect once cameras stopped rolling.
"I think creating other attractions that will build on the exposure Queensland gets through film is a great idea, so I'll be talking to [Tourism Minister] Jann Stuckey about it," he said.
"The Premier visited Disney studios when he was in the States recently and he's come back with some ideas with linking tourism and film as well."
Screen Queensland chief executive Tracey Vieira took on the role in February, and said a key focus would be fostering the emerging sector which could produce the next hit.
"I'm really focused on television, because that is the core of training here in Queensland," she said.
"We really need more television and that's something I hope to deliver."

Editor's Note: Chain Store Age's 23rd annual survey of Fastest-Growing Managers measures new domestic and international third-party management and leasing contracts obtained during the preceding calendar year (2011).
Now more than ever, retail real estate is not a business to be conducted without forethought. The days of gut instincts and seat-of-the-pants decisions have been replaced by the need to plan far ahead to guarantee a company's continued growth.
That is the hallmark of Chain Store Age's Fastest-Growing Third-Party Managers of 2011. From top-ranked CB Richard Ellis, with more than 48 million sq. ft., to virtually tied Vestar Development Co. and Mid-America Asset Management, their success came from decisions made years earlier to expand or refocus their businesses.
1. CB Richard Ellis
There are numbers, and there are NUMBERS. And CBRE's grand total of 48.8 million sq. ft. of new management assignments worldwide (12.8 million sq. ft. in the United States), leading it to top our list, certainly counts as major growth.
Which leaves one basic question — how can a company possibly keep track of it all?
"It's really very, very difficult," acknowledged Todd Caruso, senior managing director of CBRE's Retail Agency Services/the Americas. "We have a presence in almost every major and secondary market in the United States. But our sales and professional team are retail pros."
The firm also has strict structures to ensure the best possible service, he added, forming Strategic Accounts and Asset Services divisions.
"We have the ability to be attentive to different client types and provide services when asked," Caruso said.
And Caruso said he is committed to three main objectives: expanding CBRE's large retail portfolio; providing additional services to existing clients through its Asset Services, Capital Markets and Project Management divisions; and recruiting more professionals in markets where he feels CBRE still needs an additional boost. That leaves plenty of room for future growth, despite an uncertain economy.
"I believe we will grow in a measured way — we don't expect to have off-the-charts growth," he said. "We do think the markets are loosening and that investors have opened their eyes to secondary markets."
2. Jones Lang LaSalle Retail
Jones Lang LaSalle's second-place ranking, with 15.4 million sq. ft. of new assignments, comes through both recommendations and diversification.
"Our best development team consists of our current clients," noted Greg Maloney, retail CEO of Jones Lang LaSalle, Atlanta.
The growth also is a testament to the wisdom of expanding into managing open-air centers, which JLL began several years ago and continues to grow. Expansion is limited in its traditional regional mall category: Some 70% of regional malls are managed by REITs, and others are managed by their owners, Maloney pointed out. JLL manages 60% of the remainder. Now, in fact, JLL is restructuring itself to accommodate the potential of the open-air subsector.
"We're moving toward becoming more local," Maloney said. "Even in malls, we're finding the local connections to be more important."
Restaurants, in particular, require a local touch, as do ethnic markets.
"Our customer is changing. We have basically two generations below the baby boomers, and we need to adapt to that," Maloney observed.
Perhaps the biggest misperception is that all of this is easy for a global firm such as Jones Lang LaSalle. But the company can't take growth for granted.
"We don't necessarily want to be the biggest," Maloney said, "but we want to be the best as we continue to grow and expand into other areas of the retail sector."
3. Fameco Real Estate
Persistence, flexibility and consistency: These are the keys to Fameco's regular appearance as a Fastest-Growing Manager in the annual Chain Store Age survey. Part of the company's 5 million sq. ft. of new management contracts came from the assumption of several centers originally built by Stanbery Development.
"It was Class A premium product, in a portfolio we'd been looking at," said Larry Zipf, president of Fameco Management Services.
In fact, Fameco's growth comes from leasing-only assignments, management-only contracts, and deals that include both services. In the last year, the company has taken on the management of projects as large as 570,000 sq. ft. (The Shoppes at Camden Town Center in Camden, Del.) and as small as a 2,700-sq.-ft. former KFC in Marlton, N.J.
"Our business is blocking and tackling," said Adam Kohler, partner and head of Fameco's Landlord Leasing/ Owner Representation division. "The company questions, 'Can we do the best possible work for our client? And is it worth allocating our people and resources?' Our business requires a lot of windshield time."
And an increasing amount of business will come from Philadelphia, the result of allocating people and resources locally.
"In June 2011, we opened a physical office in Center City. In the final month of 2011, we landed 20 net new listings in Center City," Zipf reported.
That has continued with 11 new listings in the beginning of this year, with more growth to come.
"Center City Philadelphia has been on an upswing," Zipf said. "This is not a brand-new renaissance."
4. Bayer Properties
How do you acquire 3.7 million sq. ft. of new management contracts? By cutting back on development projects. Ask fourth-ranked Bayer Properties.
Perhaps best known as the developer of the upscale Summit lifestyle centers, Bayer's current growth came from a prescient decision in 2007 to focus less on new construction.
"We took that due diligence money to build our leasing staff. We thought we would become more diverse. We didn't see the train wreck it became, but we did see a softness," said Jeffrey Bayer, president and CEO of Bayer Properties.
While other companies were cutting back, Bayer was taking on seasoned pros to help them grow their existing third-party division.
"We were very aggressive in trying to staff ourselves with tried-and-true veterans," Bayer said. "And it was not hard for us to talk to people and say, 'We do it for ourselves.'"
The result has paid off with a diverse group of new assignments, including a 1.1 million-sq.-ft. turnaround opportunity at The Citadel Mall in Colorado Springs, Colo. In fact, the company has created a separate division for challenged properties, which can have a 75% different tenant mix from its Summit projects.
"I think we have some uncertainty in front of us still," Bayer said. "The first thing people say is, 'Do you really have the infrastructure in place?' The truth is that we have the infrastructure in place to continue to grow."
5. Vestar Development Co.
After an economic battering of its real estate sector, Metropolitan Phoenix and Southern California's shopping center industries are alive and well, said Vestar Development Co., which last year signed 3.4 million sq. ft. in new third-party management contracts to rank fifth.
The longtime developer in Arizona and California saw the market bear the brunt of the housing bubble collapse, and now is helping institutional and other owners manage their properties.
"We are seeing an uptick in transactions, which leads to opportunity," said R. Patrick McGinley, VP property management for Phoenix-based Vestar.
Institutional owners, in particular, were a major source of discussion for Vestar over the past 18 months. Those talks bore fruit toward the end of last year, when the velocity of new business picked up dramatically.
"When it rains, it pours," McGinley said. "But we've been talking to our people for a long time and building our reputation."
Those observers who believe the area is filled with nothing but distressed property couldn't be more wrong. Vestar is focusing on managing properties that do not require a major turnaround, but perhaps need one or two tweaks or deals to bring it to full success, McGinley said.
"We're very good at creative, innovative solutions to leasing problems. We take mildly challenged assets and make them successful," he said.
6. Mid-America Asset Management
Take a look at a name like Mid-America Asset Management, see a concentration of centers in some of the same markets, and you might think that the company was given a major portfolio assignment for its 3.1 million sq. ft. of new management contracts, placing it in a virtual tie for fifth place.
But you'd be wrong. Each assignment was obtained individually and continues a long-standing tradition of growth, said Michelle Panovich, a principal of Oakbrook Terrace, Ill.-based Mid-America.
"I've been here for nearly 25 years, and we've never had a year where we didn't grow," she said.
What has changed, however, are the sources of the assignments. Mid-America is doing much more work with foreclosures and distressed properties.
"The workout business will come for companies like us who have made it a focus," she said.
Geographic expansion also is a factor. The company established an office in Michigan in late 2010, and the effort paid off last year, Panovich said, with 445,000 sq. ft. of assignments.
"Michigan was just ripe to have a company with strength in the Midwest," she said.
Also a potential source for future assignments will be projects with relatively recent loans — many centers that were financed just before the market's collapse will see their five-year loans mature this year.
"That's the next wave we're in," Panovich said. "This is the new normal now."

Not a book, but two places on the 'Net I'd recommend are:
GENUKI (GENealogy in the United Kingdom and Ireland):
and check out in particular the "Getting Started in Genealogy", "Frequently
Asked Questions", "Researching UK and Irish genealogy from abroad" and
"Guidance for First-Time Users" pages. Actually, most genealogists,
including this one, could stand to go through these pages for basic advice,
even if you're not researching in the British Isles.
Also check out the newsgroup soc.genealogy.britain For you on AOL, go to
keyword "Newsgroups", click the "Expert Add" button, and cut and paste the
group's name from here. Then click on "Read My Newsgroups" or "Read
Offline". There's about 1100 messages in there now (you thought TMG-L was
message-rich?) and a lot of it won't be relevant to what you're looking
for. But, like this list, there are knowledgeable people out there.
For non-AOL users, if you have a news client configured, click on

recorded early summer morning in Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba Canada. Zoom H4n 24Bit/48kHz. I would appreciate feedback in regards to quality as I intend on recording and adding more sounds this pack soon.
A beautiful piece of ambience. I downloaded it and plan to use it. I like the longer file. Thanks for sharing under the CC0 license.
... or you could compress it to .flac to make the sample lighter. BTW, is this Aspen foliage? And distant Crows, chirping little birds... beautiful sounds, wish I was there. Please add more!
But now, after downloading it, my recommendation: Make it shorter ;-)
It´s a nice atmo field recording. This is what documentary makers are looking for. Great when you need to dub some film material.

text: Hi, I have been looking into the ultrasonic wavelength facial massage therapy offered by skin clinics to clear up congestion on the face. Just wanted to find out if anyone is familiar with its use and whether its suitable for darker skin types such as Fitzpatrick skin type V. I read the ultrasonic facial massage heats the deep tissue/dermis so just concerned whether it could possibly cause any burning or pigmentation issues. Many Thanks for your help

Ugg Classic Cardy Boots Grey
1 Recommendation
babygirl3171980's recommendation
I had been wanting a pair of Uggs for a little while when I finally got these. The first site I got them from, I ordered a size too big....as they are European sizes and I'm in north America. I also paid around one twenty with shipping and handling. Instead of returning them, just because it was such an outrageous process. I sold those and bought another, smaller size in the same color from another site for almost forty dollars less. -shrugs- Oh well. Ha ha. I actually love these. They are meant to be worn bare foot. Which in my experience with them, IS more comfortable. They are so cute and the woven crocheted part can be pulled up, slouched down, or cuffed over. They keep my feet extremly warm and are really comfortable.

Reviews of Darren Aronofsky's Noah have been trickling out for a few days now — you can read my own first impressions here — and one of the more puzzling remarks I've come across so far is a bit from Todd McCarthy's review in The Hollywood Reporter.
Specifically, McCarthy, who likes the film, asserts in passing that Noah "will rile some for the complete omission of the name 'God' from the dialogue".
When I first read that, I wondered who McCarthy could possibly be referring to. Who, exactly, would be so easy to offend, so eager to nitpick the smallest detail, so ready to assume the worst about this movie that they would live up to the stereotype invoked by McCarthy and actually make an issue of this?
Enter Breitbart News.
To be fair, Big Hollywood — the Breitbart website that has been hostile towards Noah ever since it published a critique of an early draft of the script in October 2012 — devotes only a few sentences to this bit from McCarthy's review. But devote them, it does, quoting that one line and commenting that the absence of this word "might make the movie a harder sell to its intended audience–faith-friendly viewers."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
A magnificent traveling show at the Denver Art Museum, Robert Adams: The Place We Live provided an in-depth look at one of the most important artists associated with Colorado. In the '60s and '70s, Adams revolutionized photography by depicting the local landscape. His shots of the breathtaking Colorado scenery also captured the tract houses and trailer parks set incongruously, and disturbingly, in the middle of it, exposing the rape of the environment — a favorite topic for Adams, and the one that guaranteed his fame. The show was put together by Yale University Gallery's Joshua Chuang and Jock Reynolds and tweaked for its Denver stop by the DAM's photo curator, Eric Paddock. Despite his politically charged subjects, Adams also imbued his work with an old-fashioned beauty that paid homage to the great landscape photographers of the nineteenth century, through his sense for composition, his intimate scale, and the high quality of his prints.
We take care of our own. While this notion has always held true in Denver, the sentiment was never driven home more convincingly than when 3 Kings Tavern co-owner Jim Norris was unexpectedly hospitalized after being bitten by a brown recluse spider. Norris spent nearly a week in the hospital, racking up a mountain of bills. But soon after news of his dilemma spread, a number of good friends, including Jerri Thiel and John Baxter, organized a series of benefits for the local music champion, and tons of bands stepped in to lend a hand. Way to go, Denver.
When the property that once held Time Capsule Studios — the iconic recording facility where a number of classic Denver albums were recorded — went into foreclosure and was taken over by the bank last May, Martin Anderson, a real-estate agent charged with overseeing the sale of the building, discovered what he suspected to be master recording reels left behind. Sensing that these tapes might contain irreplaceable recordings — with sentimental value for those who recorded them, if nothing else — he made arrangements for the tapes to be salvaged by Haylar Garcia, whose band Hippie Werewolves had recorded at Time Capsule, and whose Decibel Garden Studios agreed to serve as custodian of the reels at no charge. As a result, classic recordings from the likes of the Fluid and Christie Front Drive were saved.
Wealthy Victor is living the expatriate's dream in 1960s Europe, but he's very, very sad, nonetheless: His mistress Louise has just refused his offer of marriage. So he has come to the elegant cafe he owns in Paris intending to starve himself to death. The staff is horrified. They suggest feeding him an imaginary banquet, plate by luscious plate, in hopes of changing his mind. As Victor in the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company's production of An Empty Plate in the Cafe de Grand Boeuf, John Arp sampled each imaginary dish judiciously (Arp is actually a trained chef), and while he did, he dictated his obituary to the distressed waiter. This is a character who could easily seem tedious and narcissistic, but Arp played him with such warmth and intelligence that you couldn't help hoping Louise would accept him — and that he'd have a bite to eat.
9 Circles, which had its regional premiere at Curious Theatre Company, is based on a real-life atrocity in Iraq: an incident in which a United States soldier entered a family home, raped and killed the fourteen-year-old daughter, killed both her parents and her six-year-old sister, then attempted to burn her body. Taking us into this man's mind is a serious challenge. As Daniel Reeves, Sean Scrutchins needed to be twitchy and almost blurrily out of focus at first, and then, by turns, difficult, belligerent, humorous, unaware and in a state of deep denial. Scrutchins was all this — and then he took us by the throat for the play's terrifying final scene, shaking us out of our complacency and then setting us back down again, forever changed.
The character of Coalhouse Walker towers over the musical Ragtime, a panoramic take on the history of the early twentieth century based on the E.L. Doctorow novel. We are shown Walker's patient and ultimately victorious courtship of Sarah, the mother of his child; his pride, the insults he endures, and then his violent radicalization. When the actor scheduled to play Walker developed throat problems, understudy Tyrone Robinson took over the role of Walker a short time before Ragtime opened at the Arvada Center for the Arts. Tall and imposing, cocky and vulnerable, he gave full expression to the character's fierce tenderness and ambiguous morality, and his powerful, expressive voice commanded the stage.

Maggie Gallagher isn't the only religious conservative to be feeling a loss of optimism in the new year. In his January newsletter, the hate group Focus on the Family founder, James Dobson comes out and admits that "Nearly everything I have stood for these past 35 years went down to defeat." What he fails to understand, or more likely admit to, is why. In his newsletter he proceeds to lay the blame for his failures on the doorstep of President Obama, the Democratic Party and the disappointing Judas Iscariots of the Republican party. There is no acknowledgement that in re-electing this President, the country provided a sound repudiation of Dobson's brand of extremism. It wasn't any of the factions he cited in his newsletter that brought about his defeat. It was the electorate, who, among other things, has grown weary of the distortions and ugly tactics employed by social conservatism.
Now let me share my heart with you. I'm sure many of you are discouraged in the aftermath of the National Elections, especially in view of the moral and spiritual issues that took such a beating on November 6th. Nearly everything I have stood for these past 35 years went down to defeat.

As the Dow Jones and S&P 500 continue to make new 52-week highs seemingly on a daily basis, there appears to be one major disconnect as I review in this update: The stocks that trade within the indices didn't get the memo as we are seeing breakdowns in more and more sectors – and, even more importantly, market cap size.
In this video, I look at one sector in particular, ag stocks, and explain why I contemplated shorting Monsanto (NYSE:MON) on its earnings but ultimately decided not to.
Video Transcript
If you're looking at CF Holdings (NYSE:CF), in January when it topped it was $235. Now, it's $186. I played that one in 2012. We also played Agrium (NYSE:AGU) to the downside, which also topped in January and has been in a complete waterfall since then.
Are we seeing the rotation, liquidation and deleveraging happen throughout these different stocks and sectors, and it's just that the S&P 500 and Dow are the last ones to fall? Could it be that the S&P 500 and Dow simply didn't get the memo?
Speaking of memos, if you look at 3M (NYSE:MMM), which has been absolutely parabolic up. They make Post-It notes on which you write memos. Well, they pretty much make everything, including Duct Tape. But then, conversely, you see Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), which looked like it was bullish, though not so much now that it's been falling south out of a wedge pattern.
So, the industrials like CAT, Cleveland Natural Resources (NYSE:CLF) and United States Steel (NYSE:X) and the metals and mining stocks continue to perform awfully, as do the ag stocks, with the exception of Monsanto (NYSE:MON), which reported this morning. I was very close to issuing a short trade via puts on MON in the beginning of the week because there are a lot of key stocks that are going to start reporting earnings this week.
Then, I thought to myself as I was opening up The Book of Bad Ideas, that shorting MON would be a bad idea because with MON holding up so well and the others falling, what happens if it does come out with a good report? We're just not in a position to treat the market like a casino.

Jeremy Lin's underwear up for grabs on eBay
It was bound to happen eventually.
A pair of used tight boxers once owned by NBA sensation Jeremy Lin is currently being auctioned off on eBay. Bidding starts at $1,000, and for ten grand it's all yours!
The seller explains: "My brothers friend went to Harvard and was in the same dorm, got his boxers from the dryer on accident. Got them from him for $100 because hes stupid. Buy now and these could be worth alot in the future."
There is no way someone is believing this crap. But we think it's pretty funny.
Thanks, Catherine.

Keeping it in the family
Keeping it in the family
When she was holding her oldest son, Jack, and looking out from the bedroom of her Kelburn Parade home, Michelle Laurenson would look across to Victoria University and wonder if she would ever get the opportunity to study.
Just over two decades on, Michelle is in her third year of study towards a Bachelor of Arts and looking forward to her third son, Ben (18), joining his brothers Mark (19) and Jack, now 21, who also study at Victoria.
"The boys were really proud when I said I was going to university—it was something I had always wanted to do," says Michelle.
Mark, who is in his second year of study towards a Bachelor of Commerce, says seeing his mum go to university was good motivation.
"Seeing mum doing well made me realise that I could do it too."
Victoria has become the family's second home. All four members of the family live separately in Wellington but regularly catch up on campus, with Michelle often buying lunch.
"Whenever we meet up for lunch, Mum pays for it, even though she's a poor student too," says Jack, who is in his final year of a Bachelor of Science.
When Michelle started at Victoria, Jack told a group of fellow first year students that she was looking for an invitation to the Orientation toga party. "He was finally able to pay me back for all those times I tried to embarrass him at school when he was younger and would say 'give me a kiss, Jack', " says Michelle.
Ben, who is about to start a Bachelor of Commerce, knows what is expected of him at university, and his older brothers hope he will learn from their mistakes.
"I've heard about their late night cramming and I'm hoping I won't have to do that. They've all given me a lecture about what not to do—not just Mum."
Jack says the biggest challenge transitioning from college to university is learning to plan and adjusting to the more independent lifestyle. "I'm going to be helping Ben with that," says Jack.
Michelle with her three sons, from left to right Jack, Ben and Mark. "I've told him to put himself out there as much as he can and to meet as many people as possible.
"But to not fall
behind with all his course work," reminds Mark.
