Daniel and Ellen (Nellie) Brien Hurley lived in Coolnagarrane in 1901. He was a dairyman according to that year's census.
Was this Daniel related to my ancestral Hurleys in Coolnagarrane? While I don't have a definitive answer, at least I was able to compile some data on the family. Nellie was a complete unknown.
The census shows a daughter Mary (Mary Ellen), aged 28, along with a niece also named Mary Hurley, aged 25. So here was an opportunity to link this family to another family.
Daniel and Nellie were not in Coolnagarrane in the 1911 census. So they either moved or they died. I found a death record for Daniel on 18 Feb 1910. He was 85 years old, a widower, and living on Mardyke Street in Skibbereen. His married daughter Ellen Leary was present at death.
Nellie's death was recorded as 03 Nov 1906, on North Street, which runs straight into Coolnagarrane. She was 68 years old, a dairy man's wife. The occupation sounded right. However, the age seemed a little young according to the subsequent records I found. In the 1901 census she was supposedly 67.
Further research turned up daughter Ellen's marriage record. She wed Denis Leary, a coachman residing in Bunalun, 11 Feb 1893. Further research found Ellen Leary widowed on Mardyke Street in the 1911 census. She was 50 years old according to that census. Now it was time to find an Ellen Hurley, born about 1861. I started with daughter Ellen rather than Mary, thinking an Ellen might be easier to find.
My prior research of dairymen revealed that they moved around a bit, and Daniel Hurley was no exception. These records turned up. The family lived in Derrylugga, Milleenahorna, and Cullenagh, and ended up in Coolnagarrane.
1852 Oct 29 Honora godparents Patrick Herlihy, Mary Mahony Derrylugga
1852 Oct 29 John godparents James Gallagher, Johanna McCarthy Derrylugga
1858 Apr 11 Michael godparents Thomas Donovan, Honora Hurley Derrylugga
1860 Jul 30 Ellen godparents Denis Sullivan, Mary Driscoll Milleennahorna
1860 Jul 30 Susan godparents Morty Mahony, Margaret Collins Milleennahorna
1864 May 22 Charles godparents Patrick Driscoll, Anne Regan Cullenagh (Castlehaven)
1866 Aug 14 Mary godparents Timothy Donovan, Kate Sullivan Cullenagh
The marriage has not turned up in the church records.
A possible related family that would have accounted for Daniel's niece Mary in the 1901 census, was that of John Hurley and Ellen Donovan, located in Derrylugga:
1872 Oct 29 Daniel godparents Daniel Donovan, Ellen Brien
1874 Aug 2 Mary godparents Daniel Hurley, Ellen Donovan
1875 Nov 2 Ellen godparents James Gallagher, Mary Donovan
1877 Mar 29 Michael godparents Michael Hurley, Kate Brien
1878 Oct 20 Honora godparents Dan Hurley, Ellen Hurley
The 1901 census shows additional children:
Kate Ann born about 1883
Maggie born about 1885
Julia born about 1888
The 1901 Ireland census for Derrylugga states John's age as 47 and the 1911 census states it as 58. That census indicates that 9 children were born to the Derrylugga family and I've only found 8.
Ellen was several years older in each census. John would have been quite young at the time of the 1871 marriage.
A marriage record for John Hurley and Ellen Donovan cannot be found in the online church records. However there may be a marriage in civil registration: Marriage record Matching marriage record
The marriage record will give the name of John's father.
The Godfather of John (1852), son of Daniel Hurley and Ellen Brien, was James Gallagher. It is interesting that James Gallagher was the Godfather of Ellen (1875), daughter of John Hurley and Ellen Donovan. If John married to Ellen Donovan was Daniel Hurley's and Ellen Brien's son, then the "niece" in the 1901 Coolnagarrane record for Daniel Hurley and Nellie Brien could have been a granddaughter. Unless there was another brother of Daniel's who had a daughter Mary.
Are there any other possible local Hurley families who could have accounted for niece Mary Hurley, aged 25 in 1901? Do I have to rethink the Daniel Hurley, married to Honora McCarthy, as the uncle of my great-grandmother Ellen Hurley and her sister Mary, born 1876? That Mary is not listed with her family in 1901.
Great-grandmother's sister Mary was around in 1904 to witness a marriage, then went to England and married there. Some further research would be to look for marriage records for Mary Hurleys in the 1900's and 1910's.
So I think the family of Daniel and Nellie is constructed, and perhaps even the family of Daniel's son John. What is still unknown is if they were related to the families of Michael Hurley and Bridget Cahalane, and Daniel Hurley and Honora McCarthy of Coolnagarrane.

Swimming Pool Games for Young Children
Swimmers under 5 years old love swimming pool games, of course. They are also helpful for adults to keep a group of young swimmers contained and entertained with an adult swimmer - who is standing in the water during the games. Being in the water is important, to be safely at hand.
Organizing a few fun swimming games can keep even very young swimmers attention for 30 minutes or more, building their swimming skills and burning some excess energy.
All of these games below are played in shallow water, on the shallow end wall, 42 in. or less. For you swim coaches of toddlers, I've included a section of pool games for 2-3 year olds. These games take place in a baby pool or portable pool of 18 in. or less.
Deep end games are usually played by children older than 5. To test your young swimmers for deep end swimming, they should be able to 'swim' two lengths of the pool without stopping. After a short rest, time them on treading water, in the deep end for 1 minute. Stay within arm's reach while you adminster the 'deep water test'.
What other swimming games for children under 5 do your kids play? Add your favorite games to our list by adding a comment at the bottom of the page!
Swimming Games for children 3-5 years old
Most children at 3-5 years old have developed some coordination but their swimming skills or comfort may be low. Keep the kids on the shallow steps, and evaluate each swimmer's ability and comfort level before beginning any swimming games. Keep a close eye on the games to avoid bumps and bruises. Be IN the water with them during the games, so you can act fast if needed.
Hungry Whale
One swimmer is chosen to be the whale. Floating on his or her back, (may need assistance) the other kids gather around, making a circle around the whale. The children walk around the whale while you or the children sing a new improvisational 'Hungry Hungry Whale Song' - which could go something like 'Hungry, hungry whale, what's for lunch?' or 'Hungry, hungry whale, floating in the pool'. At any point, the 'whale' yells 'Thar she Blows!', and flips over to chase nearby swimmers. If he tags one before the swimmer has touched the wall, the tagged swimmer becomes the new hungry whale. You can change the animal type if you like (dolphin, hippo, shark).
Tea Party
For your most comfortable swimmers, here's a fun game. This game is simply sitting on the floor of the shallow end, cross legged, and pretending to serve and sip tea from imaginary tea cups (for just a few seconds). You can pour the imaginary tea for them underwater. Their eyes should be open and breath exhaled, to allow them to sink to the floor. Don't allow any hyperventilating before going under the water, this can lead to shallow water blackout.
Arms and Legs Race
Divide swimmers into pairs. Assign them each to be either 'Arms' or 'Legs'. Line the pairs up against the side shallow wall, and tell 'Legs' to hold on tightly to 'Arms' waist. When you say Go, Arms will use his arms to pull across the water, and walk across the floor, and Legs kicks as fast as they can. First pair to go across the pool and back, without breaking form wins.
Beach Ball Race
Using one or two small beachballs, have two kids race each other across the shallow end of the pool, and back, using only their face to push the ball along in front of them. No hands allowed! This makes a perfect swimming relay for young kids. A variation is to have them hug the beach ball tightly, and kick across the pool.
Coin Chase
Line the kids up, seated on the shallow end wall. Standing in front of the kids, drop the coins below them as you walk in front of them. Be sure to space them out to give the kids plenty of room without elbowing and kicking each other. When ready, create different games by naming a winner who brings you an exact amount, or the most pennies, or the most value overall. Have the kids help count out what they collect.
Marco Polo
In this game, the person who is 'it' has to close their eyes, while saying 'Marco!' The other players yell back 'Polo' - to give a hint as to their location. Keeping eyes closed, the searcher has to tag one of the other players. Using goggles or a mask with taped insides can prevent the searcher from peeking.
Kickboard battle
Use two players per kickboard, or raft. At opposite ends of the kickboard, both players kick their hardest and try to move the opponent backwards. This is a tournament of kicking strength. Have them kick their hardest, and pronounce a winner when one player drives the other backwards by 2-3 feet.
Swimming Games for children 1-3 years old
Toddlers, or kids under 3 are great at inventing their own games. Having a beach play set or various floating or inflatable plastic toys helps encourage activity. Children can relax too, in a small, 16 or 24 in. pool tubes.
Water Gun Race
Using an inflatable water wings or beachballs or balloons with just a small amount of water in them, have the kids sit on the edge and spray water guns at the floating items, to drive them to the other side of the baby pool. First one to reach the other side wins.This is similar to our
Ice Cube Hunt
Drop several large ice cubes into the wading pool, and have them collect them in a pail. Be quick before they melt!
Ping Pong Pickup
Drop several ping pong balls into the wading pool, and have them collect them with a plastic spoon, and place them in their own cup. For more advanced games, write a star or point values onto several of the ping pong balls.
Boat Race
If you have small plastic boats great, if not, use small balloons with a small amount of water, or small colored balls. Have the children race their 'boats' across the wading pool, to see who has the 'fastest ship'. With a ball of string, you can have boat "pull" races from one side to the other.
Animal Charades
Pretending to be animals, as they move from one side of the wading pool to the other. Tell them the animal and let them perform. Kangaroos, hippos, elephants, rabbits...
Ring Toss
Using the classic colored stacking rings game that most toddlers enjoy, set it up to float on the water by using an upside down frisbee. Seated on the edge, they can take turns playing a ring toss game.
A word (or two) on swimming pool safety for children under 5
- Stay within arm's reach of these young swimmers at all times.
- Give them a 5 minute break every half hour, to rest in the shade.
- Swim diapers are a must if your toddler is not potty trained.
- Use a baby pool float if taking a toddler into a regular depth pool.
- Water wings are not considered to be the best teaching device.
- Inflatable floats or swim aids can be dangerous if they leak air.

I had quite some issues with the rooting. Though the package developed for Firmware 1.1 worked fine to root, there were a few issues:
- Market doesn't work until about 12-24 hours later. Mine said the market wasn't reachable. But this really goes away.
- Amazon Market only works only with US credit card. OK this doesn't bother most Nook users living in the US.
- Market search doesn't work even after market works. Even restoring the old market app where it worked didn't fix this for me.
- The package no longer includes the Search Market app.
- Opera Mini 7 doesn't work, but FCs -- but v. 6.5 does work. Make sure you do a full Titanium Backup before you upgrade! ;)
- I have to re-register it with Adobe for reading books with sideloaded ebooks with Adobe DRM.
Hence I had to install the first apps via adb and Titanium Backup, which I found via scrolling through the all apps section in the Market for pages, then finding one of the developers apps and going into their other apps. From there it was pretty much a breeze.
But in the end the update was really worth it:
- The NoRefreshToggle (get it, it's awesome, esp. e.g. for browsing!) works for longer than just about 30 seconds (in 1.0) now - pretty much forever it seems.
- The whole device is much snappier and has much, much better battery life in root use as well in my case.
- Resume works better. E.g. androidvnc now immediately has a connection again after resume. I think wifi consumes a lot less power, too.
- Someone got multitouch working, too, it seems.

As we already know, the KTM Freeride E will be out in 2012 in limited numbers, as the Austrian brand tests the waters on the electric dirt bike market. Building an electric not because they believe in the technology's immediate relevancy, but because they believe in its future and want to continue being a market leader, KTM is the first big motorcycle OEM to bring an electric motorcycle to market. Giving Zero Motorcycles (and soon Brammo & BRD) a run for its money, the KTM Freeride E is a modest design with its 30hp (peak) PERM motor and 2.1 kWh battery pack.
As a dyed-in-the-wool street biker, I was a bit disappointed that KTM was only bringing the Freeride E out as a dirt bike, with no supermoto variation available. Thankfully I was not alone in that sentiment, as Kiska Senior Pixel Pusher Piers SP also longed for an electric Austrian backing-it-in machine. The difference of course is that as a blogger, I have no concept of creating something of my own (that's moto-journo humor right there folks), while Piers SP is a zen voodoo digital samurai (truth). Needless to say, photoshopping ensued.

It's been ages since we last saw all the Mikaelsons in the same place on The Originals, but thanks to some Chambre de Chasse magic, all five siblings (plus Marcel) finally got to reunite on the astral plane -- and then proceeded to immediately start sniping at each other. Ahhh, family.
Freya's little spell kept them on ice while she and Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) worked on extracting the dark magic forcing them all apart.
The search for the keys to release them from their mental prison came complete with quite a few Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) flashbacks. We got to see her first day in the Mikaelson family home all those years ago, the day she and Klaus named their daughter, and even the day he decided to abandon her and Hope.
Oblivious to all of it was Elijah (Daniel Gillies), who spent most of his time desperately looking for a key amidst memories he could no longer remember. At least, that's what he wanted his siblings to think. As it turns out, the spell to restore Elijah's memories worked just fine, it was Elijah's refusal to remember that was hindering the process. The really heartbreaking part came when everyone realized that it was actually his fear of knowing what he'd done to Hayley that was holding him back from opening that Red Door and regaining his identity.
Haylijah. Feels. Everywhere.
The Originals: Is Hayley's Death Permanent?!
Ultimately, when all was said and done and the keys were found, Elijah still had to go through that Red Door to return to the real world, which meant facing a rude awakening and realizing he'd killed the woman he loved. And what a rude awakening it was.
It's worth mentioning here that Daniel Gillies has given a few of his best performances of the series this year, and this was definitely one of them.
Despite being reunited with his feelings for Hayley, he did return to Antoinette (Jaime Murray) to save her life with a cure Klaus generously handed over, perhaps not wanting to rip two women Elijah loved away from him in the span of one day. Those same feelings made it impossible for him to stay with Antoinette though, putting an end to any ideas he had at making a fresh start and moving on with his life.
The Originals' Phoebe Tonkin Talks Hayley's Death and Legacies Spin-Off
If it's left up to Hope though, that life might not last very long.
In addition to forcing Elijah to regain his memories, Hope managed to extract the dark magic from her family, uniting it once again inside of her. That's awesome, considering the Mikaelsons get to be together again, but not so awesome considering that power makes her volatile and even downright dangerous.
As far as she's concerned, Elijah killed her mother, and throwing him a "welcome home" bash is so not part of her grieving process. Getting that magic out of her should be priority numero uno for Klaus and Freya, followed shortly by quelling this vampire purist rebellion that's still brewing in New Orleans.

The PGA of America has selected Quail Hollow Club as the site of the 99th PGA Championship in August 2017, making it the third venue in the golf-popular state of North Carolina to host the Season's Final Major.
Quail Hollow Club, founded in 1959 and designed by George Cobb in 1961, received renovations by Tom Fazio in 1997 and 2003, which enabled it to continue a heritage of hosting premier events. Beginning in 1969, Quail Hollow has hosted Tour events in four of the past five decades, which includes the Kemper Open (1969-79); the World Seniors Invitational (1980-89); and the Quail Hollow Championship (formerly the Wachovia Championship), which began in 2003.
In August 2017, Quail Hollow Club will join Pinehurst Resort & Country Club (1936) and Tanglewood Golf Club of Winston-Salem (1974) as the only North Carolina venues to host a PGA Championship.
"It is with great pleasure that we bring the PGA Championship back to North Carolina, and to make our first visit to Quail Hollow Club, a venue and a community that has demonstrated its skill in hosting premier golf," said PGA of America President Jim Remy. "In 2017, the PGA Championship will once again attract golf's finest players worldwide to compete at a course well respected among the best players in the game and challenge for the Wanamaker Trophy."
"We have 50 years of rich history here at Quail Hollow Club that has helped prepare us for an opportunity such as this," said John W. Harris, president of the Board of Governors of Quail Hollow Club. "To those who came before us and helped make this possible, we owe our thanks as we look back on a half century of great moments and look toward many more. We're especially proud to host an event that has the history and tradition of the PGA Championship. It is one of America's truly great championships."
Quail Hollow Club's 7,469-yard, par-72 layout has maintained praise from Tour professionals for its unique blend of a demanding and risk-reward layout. The final three holes "the Green Mile," have consistently been ranked the toughest finish on the PGA Tour the past seven years. No other event, including the three U.S. major championships, has had holes 16, 17 and 18 ranked among the top three finishing holes on the Tour during that same period.
The PGA Championship, which enjoys a rich heritage dating back to 1916, will visit the following venues:
2011 – Atlanta Athletic Club (Highlands Course), Johns Creek, Ga.
2012 – Kiawah Island Golf Resort (The Ocean Course), Kiawah Island, S.C.
2013 – Oak Hill Country Club (East), Rochester, N.Y.
2014 – Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Ky.
2015 – Whistling Straits (Straits), Kohler, Wis.
2016 – Baltusrol Golf Club (Lower), Springfield, N.J.
2017 – Quail Hollow Club, Charlotte, N.C.
Since its origin in 1916, the PGA Championship has become one of the game's most anticipated major championships, and perennially features the strongest field in golf. The PGA Champions roster featured many of the greatest players from all generations of golf – from Hagen, Sarazen, Snead, Nelson and Hogan, to Nicklaus, Trevino, Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh.

Hopefully, one or more of our members can help this English researcher who sent the following query. Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
I do not want to put anybody to any trouble but I was wondering if you can give me any idea how I can obtain information about Deaths in Mineola, Texas in 1883. If indeed there are any remaining records. My Great Grandfather, David Smith (Yes, I know, a very common name) is listed in our English 1881 Census as living in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England. I also live in Hertfordshire.
The family story is that he went to Texas to grow Onions! The only other information I have is a copy of a Memorial Card stating that he died in Mineola, Texas on the 16th October 1883, at the age of 38. There could be a querie on his age as it also says he was 38 in 1881 in the Census.
I find it quite sad that he went to Texas leaving a wife and seven children in 'The Robin Hood' Public House in Hatfield where he had been the Publican & Dealer to go, as many did, no doubt, to try and find a better life. I hope that it was his intention to send for his family when he
was established. Sadly this was not to be, my Grandmother was his youngest child and only 6 when he died.
I would be so grateful is you could point me in the right direction regarding Death Records for this area as I seem to have drawn a blank so far with my research.
Very best wishes

Wave Of Inaccurate Reporting Follows GOP's Latest Solyndra Release
Reporting on emails selectively released by House Republicans, numerous media outlets falsely claimed the documents show Obama donor George Kaiser -- whose family foundation invested in Solyndra -- discussing Solyndra's federal loan with the White House, with Fox going even further to claim "quid pro quo." In fact, the emails occurred after Solyndra had already received the loan guarantee and do not indicate that Kaiser discussed the loan with the White House.
Emails Do Not Show Political Influence In $535m Loan Guarantee
Wall Street Journal: Emails "Don't Offer Evidence" Supporting Claim "That Politics Influenced" Granting Of Loan Guarantee. The Wall Street Journal reported:
A top Obama fund-raiser with ties to Solyndra LLC asked the president to crack down on Chinese competitors of the solar-panel maker but avoided lobbying directly for the company, newly released emails show.
George Kaiser's family foundation owned a 36% stake in Solyndra, which declared bankruptcy in September and closed operations.
The emails released by House lawmakers offered the first glimpse of Mr. Kaiser's actions that might have helped Solyndra. But they don't offer evidence that would support Republican allegations that politics influenced the Department of Energy's decision to give Solyndra a $535 million loan guarantee. [Wall Street Journal, 11/10/11]
CNN's John King: "I Want To Make Clear To Our Viewers These Are 2010 Documents." Reporting on the newly released documents, CNN's John King stated: "I want to make clear to our viewers these are 2010 documents. The loan was approved before that. These are after the loan." During the program, Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) declined to say that the emails contained "a smoking gun." [CNN, John King USA, 11/9/11]
Bush Administration Initiated Solyndra Loan Guarantee. At a September congressional hearing, former DOE official Jonathan Silver testified that the Bush administration's DOE selected 16 projects, including Solyndra, from 143 submissions to move forward in the loan guarantee process. During the final days of the Bush administration, the DOE loan guarantee credit committee, consisting of career officials, said that although the Solyndra project "appears to have merit," the committee needed more information. The Bush administration developed a schedule for due diligence on the Solyndra project and in March 2009, the same credit committee of career officials recommended approval of the application. [Media Matters, 9/19/11]
Fox Falsely Claims Emails Occurred "Prior To" Loan Guarantee
Neil Cavuto: Emails Show Kaiser "Was Working ... With The White House To Secure" The Loan. On his Fox Business show, Neil Cavuto falsely claimed that the emails showed "the top investor in the solar company was working quite hard with the White House to secure the ill-fated half billion dollar loan." Fox News correspondent James Rosen, who subsequently delivered a report on the story, did not clarify that the events described in the emails occurred after the Department of Energy had already given Solyndra the loan guarantee. [Fox Business, Cavuto, 11/9/11]
Sean Hannity: Emails Show Kaiser Got "Access To The White House Prior To Getting The Money." From Fox News' Hannity:
SEAN HANNITY: And now we see big bundlers, big donors to Obama, they did get the access to the White House prior to getting the money. Is it a kick back? Is it a quid pro quo? Is it the Chicago way? It is a bribe? What's the accurate adjective here?
MICHELLE MALKIN: Smells like all of the above to me. [Fox News, Hannity, 11/9/11]
David Asman: Emails Show "Politcal Donors" Working To Get The "Half Billion Dollar Loan." On his Fox Business show, David Asman falsely claimed, "Explosive new emails in the Solyndra scandal [are] exposing how political donors worked the White House to get the solar company its half billion dollar loan." [Fox Business, America's Nightly Scoreboard, 11/9/11]
Fox Ran 11 Segments Without Mentioning Key Fact. On November 9, Fox covered the emails in segments on Fox News' Studio B with Shepard Smith, Special Report, The Fox Report with Shepard Smith, Hannity, and On The Record, and Fox Business' The Willis Report, Cavuto and America's Nightly Scoreboard. Not one of these segments reported that the emails occurred after DOE had already granted Solyndra the loan guarantee. On November 10, Fox News' America's Newsroom, Happening Now, and America Live all covered the emails without mentioning this key fact. [Fox News & Fox Business, 11/9/11-11/10/11]
CNN, NPR, ABC Fail To Report Emails Occurred After Loan
NPR Reported Claim That Emails Show Kaiser "Used His Influence At The White House To Make The Loan Happen." NPR's Morning Edition reported that "Republicans say the emails show an Obama campaign bundler used his influence at the White House to make the loan happen." The NPR report never made it clear that the emails occurred after the loan guarantee was granted, and did not show Kaiser attempting to use political influence to secure the $535 million loan guarantee. NPR's original headline "incorrectly said that a Solyndra supporter pushed the White House for loans," according to a correction posted with the report. [NPR, Morning Edition, 11/10/11]
ABC Reported Claim That Emails Show Solyndra "Us[ing] Political Influence To Secure Its Federal Loan." ABC News uncritically stated in an online report that Reps. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) and Fred Upton (R-MI) say the emails "rebut the repeated assurances from the White House that Solyndra did not attempt to use political influence to secure its federal loan, or to get the loan restructured when the company started to falter." ABC never made it clear that the emails occurred after the loan guarantee was granted, and that they did not show Solyndra using political influence to secure the $535 million loan guarantee. [ABCNews.com, 11/9/11]
CNN.com Falsely Reports Solyndra Received A Loan "Last Year." CNN.com falsely reported that Solyndra received the loan guarantee "last year," and suggested that an email shows a George Kaiser associate asking his colleague to "get" the $535 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy. The DOE loan guarantee was offered to Solyndra on a conditional basis in March 2009 and finalized in September 2009, not "last year." Mitchell's email apparently referred to a second loan guarantee that Solyndra sought and did not receive. At no point did the CNN.com report explain that the events described in the emails took place after the loan guarantee was finalized. [CNN.com, 11/9/11]
Emails Don't Indicate That Kaiser Discussed Loan With White House
NY Times: Email "Does Not Indicate Discussion Of A Loan." The New York Times reported:
The committee is seeking to show that Mr. Kaiser, an Oklahoma oil billionaire, pulled strings at the White House to get the original loan guarantee. The e-mails include one from Mr. Kaiser to a subordinate, dated six months after the loan was finalized, in which he writes that "a couple of weeks ago" he and the executive director of the George Kaiser Family Foundation, a charitable institution, "were visiting with a group of Administration folks in DC who are in charge of the Stimulus process (White House, not DOE) and Solyndra came up."
Mr. Kaiser said that "every one of them responded simultaneously about their thorough knowledge of the Solyndra story, suggesting it was one of their prime poster children." But the e-mail does not indicate discussion of a loan.
And the committee Democrats said that Mr. Kaiser was interviewed by the committee staff this week and that he said he had avoided any lobbying. In fact, they said, he sat next to Mr. Obama at a fund-raising dinner on Oct. 22, 2010, in Las Vegas for two hours, and talked about the problem of Chinese competition in solar panels, but did not mention Solyndra.
In one of the e-mails released by the Republicans, Mr. Kaiser argued against intervening at the White House to help Solyndra with a subordinate at his venture capital firm, Argonaut, which had invested money from the George Kaiser Family Foundation into Solyndra. "I am concerned that DOE/Chu would resent the intervention and your problem would get more difficult," he wrote. The reference was to the secretary of energy, Steven Chu. [New York Times, 11/9/11]
Emails: Kaiser "Never Mentioned Solyndra" In Dinner With Obama. Kaiser repeatedly said in the emails he "never mentioned Solyndra directly" during a two hour dinner when he was seated next to President Obama. Kaiser did raise the impact of Chinese subsidies on "US solar and wind manufacturers and [said] that - even though I strongly believe in free trade - I thought that a more aggressive trade policy with the Chinese was essential." [Emails from Kaiser, 10/23/10, 10/29/10, via Democrats on House Energy and Commerce Committee]
Emails: Kaiser Argued Against Approaching White House Regarding Solyndra. In an October 2010 email, Kaiser argued against approaching the White House about a desire to change the terms of the Solyndra loan:
I question the assumption that WH [White House] is the path pursue when both of your issues are with DOE. I doubt whether [Senior Obama adviser Pete] Rouse [or energy and climate adviser Carol] Browner would intervene and, if they did, I am concerned that DOE [or Secretary of Energy Steven] Chu would resent the intervention and your problem could get more difficult. I would see an appeal as only a resort and, even then, questionable. We need to discuss. [Email from Kaiser, 10/06/10, via Democrats on House Energy and Commerce Committee]
Reports Falsely Claim Emails Show That Kaiser Discussed "Solyndra Loan" With White House
AP: Kaiser "Discussed Solar Loan With White House." The Associated Press published an article titled "Obama donor discussed solar loan with White House." [Associated Press, 11/9/11, via MSNBC.com]
Reuters: Emails Show Kaiser And "White House Discussed Solyndra Loan." Reuters published an article titled "Investor, White House discussed Solyndra loan: emails." [Reuters, 11/9/11]
Fox News Correspondent Repeatedly Claimed Emails Show Kaiser Discussing The Loan. Fox News Chief Washington correspondent James Rosen repeatedly reported that the emails show Kaiser discussing the Solyndra loan with the White House. From a report on America's Nightly Scoreboard:
ROSEN: The Kaiser Family Foundation told Fox News in a statement today, quote, "George Kaiser had no discussions with the government regarding the loan to Solyndra." That does not appear to be the case based on these emails. [Fox Business, America's Nightly Scoreboard, 11/9/11]
From a report on The Fox Report with Shepard Smith:
ROSEN: The Kaiser Family Foundation maintains today, inexplicably, quote, George Kaiser had no discussions with the government regarding the loan to Solyndra, unquote. [Fox News, The Fox Report, 11/9/11]
From a report on Special Report with Bret Baier:
ROSEN: And a Kaiser Family Foundation spokesman agreed [with White House spokesman Jay Carney], telling Fox News today, quote George Kaiser had no discussions with the government regarding the loan to Solyndra. But the emails tell a different story. [Fox News, Special Report, 11/9/11]

WARREN, Mich., April 17 (UPI) -- A Michigan mayor has turned down an atheist's request to place a "reason station" inside the atrium of city hall which would "promote free thought" and the "use of reason" because he claims it would disrupt an existing prayer station.
Warren Mayor Jim Fouts denied Freedom From Religion member Douglas Marshall's request in a letter.
"To my way of thinking, your group is strictly an anti-religion group intending to deprive all organized religions of their constitutional freedoms or at least discourage the practice of religion. The City of Warren cannot allow this," Fouts wrote. "Also, I believe it is group's intention to disrupt those who participate in the Prayer Station which would also be a violation of the freedom of religion amendment. For these reasons, I cannot approve of your request."
Marshall said that he expected six people to come to the reason station.
"I do view this as a violation of my free speech rights," Marshall told the Detroit Free Press. "It seems to me that the mayor allows free speech in the atrium as long as he agrees with the speech. If he doesn't, he denies speech he doesn't agree with in the atrium."
This is not the first time Fouts has rejected one of Marshall's proposals, so he wasn't all the surprised with the mayor's letter and "more or less expected" it.
He plans to visit with counsel to "determine what my options are."

Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach
W. H. Freeman, 2008 - Science - 611 pages
A comprehensive introduction to vascular plant phylogeny, the Third Edition of Plant Systematics reflects changes in the circumscription of many orders and families to represent monophyletic groups, following the most recent classification of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. The taxonomic evidence described includes data from morphology, anatomy, embryology, chromosomes, palynology, secondary plant compounds, proteins, and DNA. Molecular taxonomic methods are fully presented, as are the results of many recent studies, both molecular and morphological. A chapter on the history of plant classification puts current systematic methods into historical context. Issues relating to variation in plant populations and species, including speciation and species concepts, polyploidy, hybridization, breeding systems, and introgression are carefully considered. Appendices cover botanical nomenclature as well as field and herbarium methodology. The text is copiously illustrated, using in large part the informative analytical drawings developed as part of the Generic Flora of the Southeastern United States project. Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach, Third Edition is appropriate for any course devoted to the systematics of angiosperms or vascular plants and, secondarily, for local flora courses. The text assumes no prerequisites other than introductory botany or biology.

Daewoo was a South Korean car manufacturer which sold vehicles into the UK market between 1995 and 2003. In 2001 General Motors bought the assets of the failing company and most of the Daewoo models were rebranded as Chevrolets, while the Daewoo company itself was replaced by GM Korea.
Known for producing inexpensive, reliable cars, Daewoos had a great run of success in the late 90s and early 00s and so there are still plenty about on UK roads.
About the Daewoo Matiz
Now marketed as the Chevrolet Spark, the first generation of Daewoo Matiz were cheap, reliable and very spacious for a city car. However, you'll find this lack of investment is reflected in generally poor handling and a dearth of safety features. One of the known issues with the Matiz is the fuel gauge giving an inaccurate reading; drivers also report that gear changes can be clunky, and the clutch pedal can be stiff.
Common Problems with Daewoo
As with many inexpensive vehicles, Daewoos see their fair share of mechanical breakdowns. Failing brakes often seem to be a problem, as well as alternator issues and gearbox problems. However, fear not, by using Book My Garage you're only ever few clicks away from finding a trusted local garage to repair your Daewoo, whatever the problem.

Goa, 2008.
From the house in the shade of trees,
A little boy in red cycled down the winding dirt road.
Past harvested fields and coconut trees he rode
Clasping an empty bag against the handle,
As he flew down the stretch.
With the loose end of his bandana bouncing behind him,
He pedaled furiously and was soon upon us.
But before I could ask him
What it was his mother had sent him out on an errand for,
He curved past me before turning into a blur on the road
We had ridden along on our way to the river Zuari.
When you're young and raring, any road will do.
And freedom is pedals under your feet,
A set of wheels at your command,
And an excuse to hit the road away from home.
September 01, 2011
Down The Dirt Road

Sorry if I say this all the time, but you are such a talented storyteller and photographer. I so enjoy visiting your blog.

Anil P, you did a wonderful job writing this poem--you chose just the right details to include to describe it all perfectly. Great photo too. The red road adds to the urgency of the boy racing away. I really enjoyed this post.

And when you are still younger,
you rush back
with the special bread
from a special lady
in a special shop in the next village.
The bike chain has slipped,
the pedals useless,
but visions
of your Mom
and the Sunday lunch
power you on.
The road meanders,
uneven and rocky,
as you pedal
tilted once this way, once that.
You've just learnt about life.

You are too good. But I have told you the same thing at all your posts.

The photograph,is it original color?

Riot Kitty: Thank you. Such a pleasure to be told so :-) And it's wonderful knowing you enjoy reading the posts here. :-)
Daisy: Thank you. The red of the dirt road is the red of the laterite. He was in a hurry for sure.
Ugich Konitari: It helps the shops are not next to the house like they would be in a city, allowing the little boys enough pedal space to run errands.
Folks back home would keep a watch at the window for signs of the cycle bell ringing to announce the return of the little boy bringing home goods from the shop.
Anu: Thanks. Picture poem :-)
Lynn: Thank you.
Dr.Antony: Thank you. The street is such that they invoke the words by themselves. And there're so many things happening on the street, many interesting things.
The image is the original colour. When dirt roads are newly laid or newly relaid, more so where laterite soil is used with laterite stone broken down and used as a base below the laterite soil, then the sight is as you see in the image above, red, bright, deep red.
As school going children at play we would suffer many a fall, invariably with deep bruises over jagged laterite edges that also left our white school uniforms stained red, and it would not wash off easily.
Amber Star: Thank you. How nice it would be to have that carefree cycling days back again.

I was wondering which part of Goa is it (if at all).
He was perhaps rushing to get 'paav' for lunch in the mid day sun as unannounced guests may have come to their door step.
You are getting lyrical. It is a nice addition to your literary journey(pun intended).

A wonderful life-filled moment you've captured.
- September 03, 2011 6:15 PM
- Anil P said...
Magan: This was in Maina, along the Zuari.
That too could be possible, the boy setting out to get Pao for lunch, or else maybe something else. It was half past ten in the morning at the time. The stretch was sparsely populated so it's unlikely if a Poder would cycle off the main road all the way to this point to sell Pao.
Lyrical? Not much really :-)
Lucy: Thank you.

"When you're young and raring, any road will do."
When you are old, you look back at the roads you have come and sometimes wish you hadn't taken this one...
That red laterite soil is typical of south-west coast.
- September 04, 2011 8:03 PM
- Anil P said...
Balachandra V: That too is true. The benefit of hindsight is something one will avail of age, but age will not let us avail of the hindsight before our time, surely not before we've blundered onto roads for a while!

Maina as I understand is a very generic name (I will try and get it's meaning)and there are at-least 3 Maina that I know in Goa. Two in Sanquelim and one in Santemol. Obviously not close to Zuari but one across Savoi-Verem is on Khandepar river.
- September 06, 2011 7:48 PM
- Anil P said...
Magan: You're right. There's more than one Maina. It must have some generic meaning though I'm not sure what it is.
This place is most likely Bomsad, and I think it adjoins the Maina that in turn adjoins Santemol. The place is located not far from the Maina lake.
This place lies almost on the banks of the Zuari at a point where it curves away on its run to Borim and beyond, passing the Rachol Church just past the bend, not far from Bomsad.

Beautiful poem with a equally good picture. Your words tell a whole story.
Here are some more photos of dirt road & beautiful sky.
Do we see another poem for these pictures? :-)

Michelle Cliff's Novels: Piecing the Tapestry of Memory and History
P. Lang, 1999 - 199 pages
"At the center of Jamaican-born Michelle, Cliff's novels is the exploration of the interplay between memory and history. Noraida Agosto examines Cliff's representation of memory as the part of history that has been suppressed because of its revolutionary potential. Memories of slave rebellions, for instance, were erased through omission from official historical accounts to discourage resistance among slaves. Cliff's novels are an attempt to recover these erased memories, which could generate resistance to modern oppressions. This recovery of devalued memories also entails a validation of non-elite beliefs, languages, and art forms in order to debunk dominant practices."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Kilkenny Public Nursing Homes in Ireland
Please browse through the Kilkenny Public Nursing Homes listed above to find the Nursing Home to suit your loved one.
The Standards
The Health Information and Quality Authority published National Quality Standards: Residential Services for People with Disabilities in 2009. These set out what a quality, safe service for people with disabilities in a residential service should be.
The standards are based on a positive vision for the development of services
to support people with disabilities in Ireland. The standards embody the ideas
of enablement and possibility.
They focus on what people with disabilities can do when provided with the right support.
Implementing the standards
The Health Act 2007 states that all residential services for people with disabilities must register with us at the Health Information and Quality Authority. The relevant part of the Act has yet to be passed into law. When this happens, we will be responsible for registering residential services for people with disabilities. We will then begin inspections to ensure that all residential services are meeting the standards and that everyone living in residential care is getting the quality of support they deserve.
It is important for providers to begin implementing these standards and we will be developing an online self-assessment tool and guidance to support providers in their implementation.
More information
The National Quality Standards: Residential Services for People with Disabilities are grouped under seven headings which address quality of life, staffing, protection, development and health, rights, the physical environment and governance and management.Read The Standards Here:

Simple Steps to Find Powerful Spiritual Protection
What requires the use of a computer and the Internet but costs less than unlimited texting, blesses more people than a Facebook posting, and offers more protection than a case for your smartphone?
If you said participating in family history, you'd be correct.
"It is no coincidence that FamilySearch and other tools have come forth at a time when young people are so familiar with a wide range of information and communication technologies," says Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. "Your fingers have been trained to text and tweet to accelerate and advance the work of the Lord—not just to communicate quickly with your friends. The skills and aptitude evident among many young people today are a preparation to contribute to the work of salvation" ("The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2011, 26).
So what blessings are in store for young people who make time to search for their own family names and prepare them for temple ordinances? One of the greatest blessings, according to Elder Bednar, is protection "against the intensifying influence of the adversary" ("The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn," 27).
Recently, Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles also said in regards to participating in family history and temple work: "I can think of no greater protection from the influence of the adversary in your life" ("The Joy of Redeeming the Dead," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2012, 94).
In addition, Elder Scott and Elder Bednar have promised the following blessings:
- Your conversion to the Savior will become deeper.
- You will receive light and knowledge through the Holy Ghost.
- Your testimony will be strengthened.
- Your patriarchal blessing will become more meaningful.
- Your love and gratitude for your ancestors will grow.
- You will have greater opportunities to serve.
- Your service in the temple will become more sacred.
"Have you prayed about your own ancestors?" asks Elder Scott. "Set aside those things in your life that don't really matter. Decide to do something that will have eternal consequences" (Richard G. Scott, "The Joy of Redeeming the Dead," Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2012, 95).
