I think I have never been so exalted
As I am now by you,
O frost bitten blossoms,
That are unfolding your wings
From out the envious black branches.
Bloom quickly and make much of the sunshine
The twigs conspire against you
Hear them!
They hold you from behind
You shall not take wing
Except wing by wing, brokenly,
And yet—
Even they
Shall not endure for ever.

text: Have you ever noticed how common it is to see in speaker reviews (magazine or online) "you'd have to spend at least twice the cost to get similar performance" or "competes with speakers costing up to 3 times the price," etc, etc. ??? I started to wonder if so many speakers perform above their cost, then what are the speakers with lower bang for your buck? Clearly not every brand can perform many times above its cost from a logical standpoint. First, Bose is off limits; everyone here should know they are the undefeated champions of terrible price/performance. No one else even comes close. Inevitably, people will be offended if they own a particular brand that someone else says is not so great price/performance wise, so let's keep things civil. That being said, let's hear it! What are some brands you think have average or not so great price/performance? EDIT: Let's split it up between Internet brands and traditional brands? (DavidGold makes an excellent point). i.e. What are the lesser bang/buck Internet performers? What are the lesser bang/buck traditionally distributed performers?

Jura Margulis
Pianist Jura Margulis has been internationally recognized for his compellingly communicative performances, as well as for the range of his tonal palette and his consummate virtuosity. Reviewers have praised the "absolute authority" of his interpretations and the sense of "controlled obsession" he transmits at the keyboard (Fono Forum). The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung noted that his aesthetic is both "impulsive and contemplative." The Los Angeles Times praised his "excellent pianism" and called him "highly musical". The Washington Post applauded his "titanic reserves of sheer power" and his "effortless spontaneity." The Fort Worth Star-Telegram called his performance "... the perfect Beethoven for the audience of our time ... sweeping lyricism ... imagination, originality, and good taste pervaded every phrase." In August of 2011 Drehpunkt Kultur in Salzburg writes: "After the performance one fleetingly thinks of the pianists that became legends, but comparisons are impermissible. Margulis is a master sui generis (of his own kind)."
His orchestral appearances include performances with the Russian National Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra under Charles Dutoit, the Südwestrundfunk Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, the National Orchestra of Venezuela, the Thailand Philharmonic Orchestra, the Prague Symphony Orchestra, and the Orchestra della Svizzera italiana.

Margulis has recorded ten CDs for Sony, Ars Musici, and Oehms Classics, covering a wide spectrum of repertoire. These recordings have attracted substantial attention, including selection as a "reference recording" by Fono Forum, and inclusion on the "Bestenliste" of the Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Recording Review). His CD featuring piano transcriptions of music from Bach to Caplet (2007), received 10 out of 10 for "artistic quality" from KlassikHeute. The accompanying review stated: "not since Horowitz's old RCA recording have I encountered a performance of Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre that so grippingly leaps from the stage, as here in Jura Margulis' own transcription."The review also noted that Margulis' own transcription of a little-known piece by André Caplet "should, like Ravel's own transcription of his La Valse, claim a place in the repertoire of young pianists." Klassik.com, also giving the CD its highest rating, raved that Margulis "cannot be praised enough." Margulis' Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Berg solo CD was released in fall of 2009; All Music Guide writes: "This CD is one of the best played, best interpreted, best programmed recitals of piano music of the year".

Fono Forum writes: "Margulis plays (Schubert) with an enthusiasm, a sensitivity, and a creative imagination that are near incomparable." The MSP website, www.MargulisSordinoPedal.com, states: "The Margulis Sordino Pedal is a quantum leap for the dynamic (volume) and spectral (color) expressive palette of the modern concert grand piano." Over 50 titles of from his CDs can be Jura Margulis's father and grandfather were pianists and pedagogues and methodical piano pedagogy is an integral part of his artistic vision. He developed a pedagogical concept named "The Unified Piano School, A synthesis of piano pedagogy and performance traditions", which bridges the Russian School's concentration on sound, imagination, and physical technique, and the German School's focus on structure, rhythmic coherence, and style, and holds master classes in the US, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Slovenia, Armenia, Israel, Russia, Korea, China, and Japan.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Uline (Pleasant Prairie, WI) in September 2016.
I was contacted the day I applied for an in-person interview. Before the interview I had to take 4 assessments, all of which had nothing to do with the job I applied for. The day of the interview, I had two more number tests. I'm not sure what the point of the tests were, one of them was a sales test, even though the job I applied for was IT. The HR recruiter was very rude during the interview, and barely even looked me in the eye during the interview. After the interview though she told me she liked my skills and would be contacting me in two days to set-up another interview with an IT manager. They contacted me over a week later in an email saying I did not get the position. Honestly though, I did not want the job anyways, since from other reviews on here, ULINE seems like a horrible place to work.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Uline (Pleasant Prairie, WI) in December 2013.
Applied online via Uline website, and received a call about two days after. Went to the headquarters in Wisconsin about 2 weeks later for an on site interview. When getting there took two quick matching/pattern tests before my interview. Afterwards stayed to take 3 different Microsoft Office proficiency tests that tested basic skills on Access, Excel, and Word
Interview Questions
Helpful (3)
I applied online. I interviewed at Uline (Pleasant Prairie, WI).
Appreciate all the previous reviews. I dropped out of the process after reading them. The same them of micromanagement, and nonsensical management, kept coming through. Can also see the owners are overtly political, including posting their strong rightwing views on the website and hosting the divisive governor of Wisc. at co. HQ. Their right, of course, but not good business.
Interview Questions
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Uline (Pleasant Prairie, WI) in April 2012.
Uline required several personality tests be completed. The tests centered around the customer representative, order taking, management, and sales positions. I had to test for all the possible listed tests at home and at the office at the time of the interview (which were timed). It was a challenge but fun. Uline is a customer oriented company with an emphisis on accuracey, which is obvious during the interview proccess.

Thanksgiving will never be the same. Prep: 15 mins Cook: 45 mins Yields: 6-8 servings Ingredients ½ tube Jimmy Dean sage sausage 2 tablespoons olive oil ¾ lb. mushrooms, sliced (any variety) 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced 1 lb. fresh green beans 1 cup chicken broth 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature 1 tablespoon flour ½ cup heavy cream 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. pepper Directions 1Heat the grill to medium-high. 2Place a Lodge Cast-Iron Combo Cooker on the grill. Add the sausage and cook through. 3Add the olive oil, mushrooms, garlic and green onions. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. 4Add the green beans, chicken broth and soy sauce. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet, and close the grill. Cook for 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender. 5In a small bowl, combine the butter and flour with a fork and set aside. 6Add the cream, salt and pepper to the beans. Increase the heat to medium-high. Cook uncovered for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the butter mixture. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. To prep the green beans, cut off the tips and cut in half. You can use any variety of fresh mushrooms. I enjoy a mix of crimini and shitake. You can use any type of sausage. I like the sage sausage because it has a nice holiday flavor. The butter and flour mixture is called a beurre manié. It's a French technique used to thicken sauces.

This paper is drawn from an analysis of the impact of the Australian Government's legal, policy and administrative frameworks on the ability of people who are homeless to access entitlements available to all Australian citizens. Despite a claim to legislative protections and anti discrimination statute, this examination reveals a history of exclusion in which the homeless have been denied equal access to such entitlements, dating from pre-federation through the twenty first century. It concludes by posing an alternative way of thinking that has the potential to reframe and redress the failure to protect and enable the exercise of such rights by those who are homeless.

Nu is an enchanting skin fragrance that is rich and spicy in character and sensual and woody in structure. It's a great scent full of contrasts, sensual and delicate. Nu is for elegant women, knowing their worth. Using Nu is something you do mostly for yourself, to feel oryginal and sexy, no matter what you wear and where you are! It changes the way you feel in seconds...It's not something ordinary, not something many women use, Nu makes you feel special! It can also make that time special :-) So if your looking for different scent, not simple but also fragrance that could be addictive ( for you and others :-) Nu is what you're looking for!

"I have been eating at the Green Turtle Inn for years. The food is consistently fresh and delicious. You can see the kitchen and chefs when you walk in. The scallops are seared to perfection and taste like they just came out of the ocean."
"This place is absolutely the best breakfast I have had, EVER! Splurge on the Lobster Benedict. You will not be disappointed. Also try the turtle bun. It was huge, fresh, and amazing! I would come to the Keys just to eat here again!"
"The Conch Chowder was delicious! Cobb salad with chicken was fresh and very good, as were the collard greens. I ate at bar. Service was excellent."
"If you are traveling down the Keys and are crossing Islamorada, a great stop for lunch is the Green Turtle Inn. When a place has been around for almost 70 years, they must be doing something right -- and they are! The wait staff is friendly and helpful. Well worth a stop!"
"The Green Turtle Inn was, by far, one of the best meals during our trip to the Florida Keys. The wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. The food was amazing and the atmosphere cozy. We would recommend it to everyone!"
"Wonderful food and service! Our waitress gave the best recommendations. Amazing atmosphere. This was our favorite restaurant and dinner in Islamorada!"
"I highly recommend, as the service and food is more than above average. They have delicious gluten-free bread for sandwiches and some different choices that are yummy. Very fresh and savory."
"The sticky bun is unbelievable -- and enough for two people. You have to try it. The building is beautiful, fresh, clean and new. Stop next door to explore the liquor store or the beautiful clothing."
"We made this our go-to restaurant for the final meal on our vacation. The service is wonderful and the food is beyond comparison. I had the best scallop dish, ever. Plus the desserts are fantastic!"
"We go to this place multiple times every time we visit Islamorada. They have the most delicious breakfasts with the nicest waitstaff. Shrimp and grits, eggs benedict, pancakes, etc are all delicious. And a great bar for Bloody Marys and Mimosas! Love this place!"
"This place has been here forever. My Dad ate there in 1950!! It is way updated and way upscale (for the Keys) and better than ever (says 88 yr old Dad). Great menu, beautiful renovation, excellent service. Our favorite place."
"Great food. Nice atmosphere. As soon as the door closes behind you your nose will let you know you're in for a nice meal."
"This is the finest restaurant we found in Islamorada. The food was great and a good value for the quantity. The salads are exceptional and all food was of highest quality. The folks know how to prepare a meal."
"Food was outstanding! service was great and restaurant was very clean. Best food on the Island. Lots of history and many years of serving travelers shows."

10 Best Hiking Trails In The World To Add To Your Bucket List
It is always fun putting together best of lists. They are always subjective and open to debate. This list of top 10 hikes of the world should give you plenty of great scenery, sounds and other things to uplift your soul and make them worthy of experiencing before you kick the bucket.
There really is plenty of choice in this world to see and enjoy. Here are just 10 of the best hikes in the world where you can experience just some of the natural wonders this incredible planet has to offer.
Tongariro Northern Circuit, New Zealand
This trail includes Mount Doom from the films of Lord Of The Rings making it one of the most popular trails. So it can get very busy. But that isn't the reason for taking the time to hike this. The scenery is breathtaking with 3 active volcanoes. You get a volcanic, boiling mud pools and desert landscape mostly with the beautiful emerald lakes included. It is over 19 miles. Three days and two nights is the amount of time to do this comfortably in. The huts are on a first come first serve basis. So you probably want a tent to be sure and you can use the facilities of the hut.
Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
This is a high trail as you reach the summit of the highest mountain in Africa. You do need to take your time to get acclimatize to height to avoid altitude sickness. It's a popular mountain to hike because you don't need any special climbing equipment or skills to get to the top. You go from heat of the grasslands at the base of the mountain through temperate forests to a cold summit. If you want to hike to the top you normally start at midnight to reach the top and you will be walking for 16 hours to hike their and back from your camp.
Inca Trail, Peru
This is the most famous trail of South America. It is very popular with 1000s traveling it each year. It is a 20 mile trail made by the Incas hugging the side of mountains. You go from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu taking in three ruins as well as jungle and alpine vegetation. It is at high altitude so you will need to take some time to acclimatize to it. This all adds up to wonderful natural scenery and manmade wonders in one walk.
Tour de Mont Blanc, France
This makes the list of many hikers to do lists. To do the whole hike can take 9 to 14 days, but you don't have to do the whole thing and can hike parts of it making one of the trails that is accessible to all levels of fitness. There are stunning views including views of magical green valleys and snow capped mountains with glaciers and lakes thrown in for good measure. It is a safe trail with guts and French cafes along the way meaning you don't need to carry a heavy pack.
West Coast Trail, British Columbia, Canada
Hiking through the Canadian wilderness is one of the most beautiful scenes that takes in rain forests, rocky coastlines and spectacular mountain peaks. You get the chance to spot sea creatures as well like whales and sea lions. And we haven't mentioned the unbelievable sunsets and misty dawns. This trail offers more variety than just about any other trail in North America. It is 47 miles and you can do it in 7 days and 6 nights
Here are 5 more to add to the list:
Zion Narrows, Utah, United States
Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal
Yosemite Grand Traverse, California, United States
Routeburn Trail, New Zealand
Kalalau Trail, Kauai, Hawaii, United States
Hope you liked this list of the best hiking trails in the world and you'll add them to your bucket list.

Andrew James Joseph Dwyer was born in Dryburgh Street, North Melbourne on 28 January 1888, the first child of William Dwyer and Margaret McCraith. At that time North Melbourne was a predominantly working class area with most of the population employed in local industry. Andrew probably attended state schools, Catholic schools being most likely beyond the means of the family, from age 6. State school education at this time has been described as involving …formal unimaginative teaching, crowded, ill-equipped classrooms and strict discipline [Larson (1994)]. Although strictly speaking children were required to stay at school until they were 15, most urban children left school at around 13 or 14. Andrew was probably already in the workforce before his father died in 1903.
We know from his future wife Ethel Ramsdale that Andrew:
…went to work at Vincents dairy out Malvern way…he also worked a lot in the Country Areas & learned a lot about wool rolling & wool classing etc & it turned out to be very useful in the years to come. The managers on the stations used to call on him in shearing times & complimented him on his ability.
On 9 October 1907 Andrew Dwyer married Sarah Jane Collis (1885-1920) at St. James Congregational Church, 101 Gore Street, Fitzroy. At the time of marriage Andrew was a labourer living at 23 Howard Street, North Melbourne. Andrew and Sarah's only child, Violet Dorothy Dwyer, was born on 1 May 1908, suggesting that the marriage was probably the result of the pregnancy. Both Andrew and Sarah stated on their marriage register that they were 22 years of age, but Andrew was only 19 and presumably had to lie about his age. He also registered the marriage under the name James Joseph Dwyer, perhaps to provide anonymity.
The 1909 electoral roll has Andrew and Sarah (shown as Jane Dwyer) living at 96 Perry Street, Collingwood, which was actually the home of Sarah's parents, George and Agnes Collis. By 1910 Andrew and Sarah had separated. It is presumed that Violet lived with her mother. In 1917 Andrew was living in Tennyson Street, Sandringham and Sarah in Currie Street, Collingwood. In 1919 Sarah was living at 18 Stanley Street, Collingwood, apparently as the sole adult occupant.
On 5 February 1917 Andrew applied to enlist in the Australian Imperial Force. In his papers he was described as being 29 years of age, 5 feet 7½ inches tall, weighing 139 lbs. and with an expanded chest measurement of 35 inches. He had a "fresh" complexion, blue eyes and light brown hair, with a mole on his left ear and a small birth mark on his chest. He was still married to Sarah, though they had not cohabited for seven years. Andrew requested his army separation allowance be paid to his mother, Margaret Bedford, for the benefit of his daughter Violet.
Andrew was passed as medically fit for service (though requiring dental attention) and went first to the Recruitment Depot at Royal Park before being transferred to the Australian Army Service Corps 1st Depot Battalion at Langwarrin on 12 March as a cook. On 20 March he was transferred to Broadmeadows, but was discharged on medical grounds on 28 May after an effective period of service of only 113 days. His discharge was due to an injury he received almost seven years before – "while swimming a horse (with his boots off) he landed on a broken glass bottle which severed the tendons of the sole of the left foot…Entrance of old wound of sole of left foot which has been divided and sutured Locomotion lessened". Andrew went back to civilian life as a driver.
Ethel Ramsdale was born in Carlsruhe, Victoria on 13 March 1895, the second child and daughter of William Charles Ramsdale (1865-1941) and Johanna Boyle (1866-1954). Carlsruhe was a small rural town established in the 1850s about 6½ kilometers southeast of Kyneton. The Ramsdales had lived in Carlsruhe since James Ramsdale (1838-1872) came to Australia from Lancashire in the 1850s. Ethel wrote that she lived in Carlsruhe for "many years", eventually moving "…to a lovely little cottage in Kyneton near the Kyneton Hospital in Simpson St."
We are fortunate that Ethel has left handwritten notes about the family history which she wrote for two of her grandchildren in the early 1970s. This includes a description of her early life:
I was the boy of the family as Dad used to be on relay work which took him away from home & as he used to bring in loads of wood as all we had in those days were wood stoves & I used to chop & stack the wood. We went to school at Kyneton & while at school I used to do a small milk run on foot carrying the milk in billies hooked on to large billipies, & used to make some money for home use. Charlie [youngest brother] was born at this cottage [in Simpson Street], & had two bouts of pneumonia while young, but Mrs Burnell [landlady] looked after him & they cured him & he hadn't to go to hospital. Then my father got permanent work on the railways by getting through exams & that entitled him to a house free of rent & free holidays which took them anywhere with family all area Victoria & Mum eventually shifted to Carlsruhe R[ailway] Station & we were much better off financially.
Ethel's son William has also documented what he knew about Ethel's early life:
I know nothing to suggest that she had anything but a normal (unspectacular?) early life as a country girl in a somewhat remote area. I suspect, however, that she may well have acquired – or been assigned – an unusually responsible role (for a second child) in caring for her siblings and the household's operations. She evidently walked a long distance for her schooling (in Kyneton) and may have tended to be tom-boyish – she often remarked to me, I recall, that she was invariably bare-footed; casting off her shoes/boots at every opportunity. I do also recall my father informing me at one time (and, I believe, her confirming on occasion) that she was fleet of foot as a youngster. It appears that in her early teens (?) she was quite swift as a barefoot runner who, at country picnic meets in the district, could outrun the males. So well reputed was she for this skill that not inconsiderable sums of money would change hands, I have been led to believe, as a result of her performances in mixed sex races conducted on a handicap basis.
One thing appears to be certain and that is that she was trained – or became naturally skilled – in the domestic service arts and her abilities there served her well in securing employment (no doubt in trying times) and regular work later on. It appears that she must have worked in domestic service situations in her early working life in and around Kyneton…
In 1919 Ethel left Kyneton for Melbourne, as she recounted in her handwritten notes:
I left my home town in Autumn, in about the year 1919 to make my fortune in the Big City. My sister Mary had previously married & lived in North Melbourne. I missed her very much as we were very good pals all our lives, starting from when we were at School & when we made our first debut by appearing in the school concert as the 2 little girls in blue. We sat one each side of the stage; one as dark with black hair & I as fair with blue eyes, while the rest of the school sang the old song, Two little girls in blue lads [probably the 1893 song "Two Little Girls in Blue" by Charles Graham]. I procured a situation at a butchers as maid & looking after the children, while the husband & wife attended the shop which, by the way, was all on the premises. While at this place I got acquainted with Mrs Barnes' cousin by marriage [Mary "Sis" Dwyer] who used to visit us & that was how my romance started as Sis had a brother, Andrew. I met him when I used to visit Sis in North Melbourne. It was a pretty short courtship & eventually Andrew & I married.
The marriage took place at on 30 December 1920 at the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, Kyneton (their wedding portrait is on the right). At the time of the marriage Andrew was a driver of 231 Peel Street, North Melbourne and Ethel lived at Hampshire Road, Sunshine.
Andrew and Ethel had three children together:
The thirteen year gap between the birth of Margaret and the birth of William was reportedly due to a miscarriage that Ethel suffered after the birth of Margaret when she was either struck by a Melbourne tram or stumbled while alighting from one. Told that she would have no more children, the arrival of William when she was in her 39th year was surprising. The birth of William was difficult, however, and both baby and mother were at serious risk during delivery.
Ethel's notes never mention Violet, Andrew's daughter by his first marriage. It is unknown if Violet ever lived with Andrew and Ethel even though she was only 12 years of age and motherless at the time of their marriage. Violet is noted on Andrew's death registration as "Doris", aged 36 (she would actually have been 40) and still living.
Ethel's handwritten notes on the family provide some details of her and Andrew's twenty-seven year marriage. Unfortunately very few dates are given and the chronology of the handwritten notes is confused, and made more so by having two separate, sometimes conflicting accounts of the same events. The electoral rolls, along with birth records for their children, provide some evidence of where Andrew and Ethel lived (or were at least registered to vote) and what their occupations were at various points in time, but do not provide a complete chronology.
During the 1920s Andrew was occupied in the milk industry. Initially he worked for a Mr. Hoggart in Collingwood, and soon supplemented his wage "by selling the skim milk and yodelling around the streets in the daytime". In 1921 he had two small dairies, the first at the corner of Kent and Gardner Streets, Richmond, then another at an unknown location in North Melbourne. In 1922 he built a dairy at 43 Droop Street, Footscray which Ethel described:
[Andrew] bought a cottage…there for £800, & built a dairy. He called tenders for the Dairy & a returned soldier was from W. War I & he built a lovely stone dairy Andy had it painted in his favourite pale blue & the grey stone & blue looked very smart.
…The grounds in Droop St. was ideal for the Dairy. It had stables at the back of a lovely paved yard, grapevines climbing over a trellis which stretched from Dairy to Stables. We used to keep the dairy & stables like a new pin Andy used to pick up all the straw & put manure in the manure pit & I used to hose the bricks till they shone like a kitchen floor.
…It was an ideal place as it had a side entrance for the customers…We used to sell clotted cream at the dairy we could sell any amount of it as well as ordinary cream. [Andrew] used to buy his milk mostly from the farmers & get it pasteurised at the Ice House in Footscray.
After a few years, Andrew's health began to worry him so in 1925 or 1926 he sold the Footscray dairy to a man named Rich, and then took the family to Sydney. Things did not go well in Sydney, although Ethel did not know why, and the family soon moved back to Melbourne. There Andrew found that the Footscray dairy that he had sold to Mr. Rich was not doing well (Ethel said Rich was a bad businessman) so Andrew helped him to build the business back up so that Rich could sell it, which he did soon after. Andrew, Ethel and Margaret then moved once more back to Sydney, initially living at 26 Hereford Street Glebe.
Probably around 1929 Andrew contracted a bout of pneumonia requiring hospitalisation for "6 to 8 weeks" followed by recuperation in "Walker Home" (assumed to have been a nursing home of some kind). He suffered a collapsed lung, which probably explains why his son William remembered his father as being "in constantly poor health", although Ethel says that his health was "never too robust". This illness was followed in 1930 by a recuperative stint on Terlings Station, a sheep station near Moree. Andrew worked as a station hand and Ethel as a cook.
Later in 1930 the family once more returned to Sydney. Andrew started a milk delivery business at 47A Pittwater Road, at first with a partner named Jim White and then on his own. Andrew again sold milk by yodelling through the streets of Manly and Balgowlah. With the Depression worsening, Ethel arranged for her sister Ellen ("Nell") to work in the dairy while Ethel took a job as a cook in the City "as our rent was fairly high". By 1933, however, the Depression and, according to Ethel, New South Wales Premier Jack Lang's "drastic measures" to deal with it, meant that Andrew had to sell his milk runs to the Northern Milk Company.
In 1931 the family moved to a house at 60 Whistler Street Manly, but Ethel's notes indicate that work was very hard to come by. As a result, Andrew and Ethel (with Margaret) spent time working at Piallaway Station near Tamworth, but "after getting a thorn in [Andrew's] hand which poisoned it we came down to the City again." They appear to have later worked once more at Terlings Station at Moree, with Andrew working as a milk groom and Ethel as a cook for £2 10s. per week. Ethel says that they also worked at Serumlo Station near Singleton.
The family was permanently back in Sydney by 1934, when William was born. They lived in a number of houses in Bridge Road, Glebe over the next ten years (numbers 270, 174 and 205). William described the accommodation at 205 Bridge road:
I assume they moved there – a bedroom and a bed sitter apartment at street level in the front – shortly after I arrived. There were several flats on, I think, three levels [the building still stands and has two levels above the street and a basement level below] and we shared bathroom, toilet and laundry facilities with the other flat dwellers…The laundry facilities (basement level) were very basic and the one seater toilet was "way down" the back yard…
The 270 Bridge Road house seem to be of a similar type, but the 174 Bridge Road house has since been redeveloped and its configuration is unknown. There are photos of the Glebe houses in Ethel's memoirs.
Around 1946-47 Andrew, Ethel and their sons moved to 5 Albert Street Erskineville (see photos), which Margaret, her husband Victor Aitken and their two sons had recently vacated. This was a narrow single-level house within a stone's throw to the railway line between Newtown and Macdonaldtown stations. William again described this house:
Here we had, as renters, a master (front) bedroom and a second (which Vince and I shared); a dining room/kitchen, a laundry (sporting a large copper for clothes washing and for heating bathwater) and a cubicle bathroom – all of these on a single level. The toilet was, once again, at the rear of a small and short backyard but, catering for only four people in the one family, was an unheard of… luxury.
From 1934 Andrew's occupation was recorded as "labourer" in the electoral rolls, indicating his final break with the milk industry. Just how often he worked in his later years is uncertain. William recalled that Andrew was often ill or incapacitated, but said that:
…[Andrew] did pursue – perhaps in an itinerant fashion – the work of a house to house purveyor of home delivered (by horse and cart – both on daily hire) fruit, vegetables, eggs, etc. etc. I would, on occasion, assist – if only to tend the horse and the produce whilst he dropped in to the "doctor" for some "medication" – and, upon further reflection, there may have been a time, or times, when milk and cream were optional products of the day. I also seem to recall that, in general, he was a good talker and affable vendor – well liked and received by his clientele. I do not recall him yodelling to announce his arrival in areas in which he plied his trade in those days, though he did have a loud and lyrical call to alert potential (and regular?) clients to his arrival. I do know that, when he was involved in any regular work, he would come home at the end of the working week with small treats – usually comics, for Vince and me.
Ethel says that after Vincent was born in 1937 she worked as a cook at Mockbells, a family style restaurant in Martin Place in the City, where she stayed for sixteen years. She then worked at Vicars, a textile factory in Marrickville, as a machinist/weaver until she was retired on age grounds. She later worked at the Church of England Hostel in Camperdown, "doing breakfast for about 60 [female] students from the various universities Sydney & N.S.W."
William claimed to have known little about his father Andrew. He said that Andrew suffered from severe asthma, but was by his recollection a heavy smoker of roll-your-own cigarettes and that he often drank to excess. He was not a church-going man, and loyal to his Irish roots was anti-Monarchy and anti-English. He was sports-loving and an occasional punter. He was generally known as and referred to as "Joe", but Ethel always called him "Andy". She was often known as "Et". Andrew and Ethel did not have a wide circle of friends, and their closest relatives all lived interstate.
Andrew died aged 60 on 23 December 1948 at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Camperdown. The cause given was congestive cardiac failure and pneumonia. He was buried on 24 December in the Roman Catholic section of Rookwood Cemetery. He apparently left no will or inheritance for his widow and dependent children, but equally left them no significant debts.
Ethel continued to live at Albert Street Erskineville until about 1956 when she moved to a similar semi-detached cottage at 57 O'Connell Street Newtown (see photo). This cottage had a green wrought iron fence and gate at the front leading on to a narrow porch along the front of the house. Inside there was a sitting room at the front with a dark, narrow and squeaky-floored corridor which ran past a single bedroom on the left to a dining room. A step down took you into a kitchen/laundry/bathroom area with a door out to the back. The flushing toilet was in the back right-hand corner of the backyard. On either side were similar houses, but over the back fence was a rusty corrugated iron structure – some sort of workshop, perhaps – that towered over the small backyard. Ethel apparently slept in the sitting room, Vincent occupying the bedroom until his marriage in 1957, and Ethel thereafter feeling safer sleeping at the front of the house.
Above L-R: Cathy Dwyer, Ethel, Anthony Dwyer, Joan Dwyer (nee Rogers), Phillip Dwyer, Margaret Aitken (nee Dwyer) and Lindsay (Margaret's son). Right, clockwise from top left: Lindsay, Ethel, Cathy, Phillip, Anthony. April 1960, probably in the Aitken home at Birrong, Sydney.
Ethel remained independent throughout her widowhood, living simply on her modest government pension. She had some support from her children, particularly Margaret whose husband Victor Aitken worked for the Franklins supermarket chain. Ethel never had a telephone (despite offers from Margaret to have one installed and paid for) but had a television (only black-and-white in her lifetime) in the sitting room. She was indulgent towards her grandchildren when they visited, providing colouring books and paints/pencils on their arrival and hammers, nails and pieces of wood to keep them busy after lunch. Her ability to cook fabulous Sunday roasts on her small, green gas cooker probably owes much to her earlier life as a cook.
Ethel died in her eightieth year following a heart attack at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Camperdown on 26 September 1974. The day before she had been feeling unwell and walked to the nearby hospital, having herself admitted and appearing at first to have been recovering. She left no will or legacy, but had small amounts of cash stashed in the house which apparently was sufficient to meet the costs of her funeral. A Requiem Mass was held for Ethyl on Saturday, 28 September at St. Joseph's Church, Missenden Road Camperdown, and she was buried afterwards at Botany Cemetery.
