Interviewing Family: Kim von Aspern-Parker of Le Maison Duchamps, Part 1
The first interview in this "Jamboree Genealogy Bloggers talk about Interviewing Family" series is with Kim von Aspern-Parker, who blogs at Le Maison Duchamp. I started by asking her to tell me of her experience interviewing family members. She began by describing her experience interviewing her dad.
This interview transcript has been lightly edited for clarity and to remove, you know, a few, like, forms of spoken word that don't, um, work as well as the written word. There are also places in the interviews where I withhold information at the request of the person interviewed.
Kim von Aspern-Parker: When I started interviewing my dad, I started asking him questions about his family, cause I was doing my genealogy. The first indication that I got from my dad that he was going to be a hard interview:
"What was your grandfather's name?"
He says, "Mr. Gilchrist."
"No, like first name, Dad."
(Probably not.)
So, every time I interviewed my dad it was like draaaaagging information out of him, except this one time - he was having congestive heart failure—so he was on oxygen, and his oxygen saturation got low. Well, when your oxygen saturation gets low, you got loopy—it's like you've been drinking.
And so my dad was wandering around the house singing, "All the girls are wild simply wild over me."
And he sat down and he goes, "Did I ever tell you I was a Deejay?"
And I went "No!"
And he says "Yep, during World War 2. Worked at the NCO Club. I was a deejay."
He told me this whole story about being a deejay at the NCO club. Dad's brother-in-law was in a band. Dad would go and change out the records at the NCO clubs—the Non commissioned officer clubs.
At that time the NCO clubs were segregated. So he would be changing out the records not only in the white men's NCO clubs, but also in the black officers NCO clubs. He would go and give the records from the black NCO clubs to his brother-in-law who was copying the styles. My father's brother-in-law was name withheld by request , and he was the drummer for a musician who greatly influenced the direction of rock and roll (name withheld by request.)
So that's one of my family stories.
Family Oral History Using Digital Tools: Wow. Now, when you sat down with your dad, did you say "Tell me stories." Did you record it? Did you have a tape recorder, did you—
Kim von Aspern-Parker: I did use prompts every time I talked to him. I used the book To Our Children's Children. I love the questions in that book. And it would get them talking. Plus, since my degree was in journalism, I have a little bit more background on knowing how to ask questions. So you don't ask questions that somebody could answer yes or no to, like,
"Do you know who your grandfather is?"
"Do you want to share that information?"
So I would ask questions like "What is the best practical joke you ever played?" Or "What practical joke do you remember?" and then my dad would tell me these wonderful stories about how he was in grade school and they stole somebody's underwear and run it up the flagpole.
Or I would ask him, "who do you remember from your neighborhood?" and he would say, " Ok, well, let's see… across the street was Charlie—he lived here" and it led to my father drawing out an entire diagram of his neighborhood. Which is invaluable for me as a genealogist—now you know who lived where when you get that census. And you have stories for each person.
"Oh, Charlie was my best friend. We used to dig up worms together and we used to go down to the lake and fish."
And so it would lead to stories like that my dad would share with me. Those are invaluable to me. I taped all of them—
FOHUDT: Cassette tapes?
KvAP: Yes, cassette tapes. That was back in the day.
FOHUDT: How long ago was this?
Kim von Aspern-Parker: I started to interview my dad in 1982, I think. It was over a considerable amount of time. He passed away in 2001. So every year or so, I would take a day or two and ask him to tell me stories.
I really am sad that I didn't tape the stories that were at Christmastime and stuff like that, when we were just sitting down and he'd just start talking, and I didn't have anything with me that I could pull out [to start recording] and say, "wai—wai—wait, say that again."
Maybe you shouldn't bring out a genealogy chart
My aunt in Florida is 90, and I just visited her, and I wanted her to tell me family stories. And every time I would pull out the chart and say, "Okay, so what do you remember about your grandfather Henry Landry?" she'd say, "Ah. They're all dead people, I don't want to talk about them. They're just all dead people."
So I got in the habit of taking my tape recorder with me. And I had just a little handheld digital—and I'd bring out my phone and my notebook and everything I had—my cup of tea. I just set everything else that I was carrying with me down, and the tape recorder would be on. I wouldn't tell her anything, I'd just set it all down on the table. And we'd start talking, and I'd say something about—"you remember when you told me the story about Henry, what was that about?—that he had a farm, or he lost the farm, or what?" and she'd go, "Oh!" and she'd start telling me the story.
But if I pulled out the tape recorder and let her know it was on, she would not talk to me.
Family Oral History Using Digital Tools: Did you ever discuss with her the fact that you had recorded this?
Kim von Aspern-Parker: Oh yeah, she knows.
FOHUDT: She knows. Tell me about that conversation with her. How she come to know that?
Kim von Aspern-Parker: Because later I said, "You know, all these stories you're telling me. They're all about our family, It's not so much that they're dead people but they're our family." And I said, "And I didn't grow up in this family, so I don't know these stories. So I've been taping them so I can have them."
She was okay with that. She just didn't want to talk about dead people. So anytime I'd pull out the genealogy chart, that was talking about dead people.
Family Oral History Using Digital Tools: So the chart equals dead people, versus "oh you know that story blah blah blah," the "by-the-way"…
Kim von Aspern-Parker: The by-the-way casual conversation about her father or her grandfather or whatever—that was okay.
Or "tell me a story about your husband who was in the air force and he's passed on."
Those were okay: she didn't mind talking family stories. She didn't care that I was recording it. She just cared that I didn't pull out that genealogy chart—that meant "dead people" to her.
FOHUDT: Really!
KvAP: Isn't that funny?
And I need the chart to keep track of who's who.
Family Oral History Using Digital Tools: Right. Yeah you kind of have to have your little crib sheet on a small 3 x 5 card. So are those the two people that you've interviewed? Have you interviewed other people?
Kim von Aspern-Parker: Mostly, yeah. I have wonderful aunts and uncles that live into their 90s. The problem is some of them love to tell stories. My Aunt Lena loved to tell stories. And she used to put out newsletters every Mondays and she would tell stories about the family. So I have tons of family stories from her that she put out on those Monday messages that she sent to all her friends and family.
FOHUDT: Email?
KvAP: Yeah. She would send them out on email. She sent them out before she died. Now her daughter has a blog and is kinda continuing that. So that's really fun. We have family stories that come to me from all different places.
Remembering to Listen
I think that the trick is remembering to listen. Not just to know which questions to ask, but remember to listen because the stories happen just in the weirdest times, like people driving somewhere: "Oh, my gosh, that reminds me of the time when—" If you're just kinda going, Oh, yeah, yeah, okay—you're not paying attention, and listening, and then expanding on it, saying, "Well, how old were you? What school were you at? Were your friends in on that?" You need to know how to continue the conversation, how to keep it going so that it becomes a whole blown story, and not just a remark.
Family Oral History Using Digital Tools: And that's something that especially your journalism background has helped you with. Do you think that you already had a sense of that before you got into journalism?
Kim von Aspern-Parker: I think I had a sense of that. I'm nosy. I'm a nosy person, so I had a sense of that beforehand, that I was always asking questions and saying—
"Why did you do that?" or "How come?"
"Well, because my friend thought it was a good idea."
"Well, Really? if I did that now you wouldn't punish me, Mom?"
"Yeah, I probably would."
"Well what made you think it was a good idea then?"
I've always been the question person and drive my family crazy. I have that; I think that journalism honed that a little bit. Somebody could develop it if they were interested in the stories. You have to be interested.
Family Oral History Using Digital Tools: If you had advice for somebody who was starting out with interviewing someone who thinks, "I'd like to do this," what one thing is the biggest takeaway or one of the biggest takeaways? (Or, if more than one thing, boil it down to three best bits of advice)
Kim von Aspern-Parker: Don't interrupt them.
If somebody starts talking to you about a story, don't get so focused in on the fact that you're trying to get Grandma's birthdates that you don't listen to the story that they're telling you.
Because a lot of times you're interviewing somebody and you ask them the question, "Okay, now where was grandma born?"
And they say, "Oh, you know grandma was born in Wichita Kansas" (or wherever), and they start telling you "you know, she told me this time about a tornado she lived through" and she starts talking about the tornado.
Well, now you're thinking, "yeah, but I need her birth date, yeah, but I need her birth date . You're not telling me about her birth date ."
You're missing the story they are telling you about how grandmother lived through the tornado and lost her house (or whatever the story is). And people will tend to interrupt and say, "Okay, okay, tell me about that later, but right now I need—" and you've lost the story. They'll never come back to it. So if they start on something, let them go on it.
My second best advice is pull out the photo album. The photo albums get people talking.
You can see, and ask:
"Well, who's this in this picture?"
"That's your grandpa Henry."
"Well, who's he holding?"
"Oh! That was the first baby born that year."
"Who is it?"
And then it starts the story talking about when that baby came to visit and we had a big family reunion and Aunt Sally was there, and that was the last time anybody saw Aunt Sally, she disappeared after that. And the story goes on and on and on.
It's a story you wouldn't have gotten if you hadn't looked at that picture.
Those are my two best ones.
FOHUDT: Have you seen…
(at this point I started talking about the posts I've done on this site about photo albums)
I've done a few blog posts about working with photo albums for working with interviews.
What I saw when I witnessed a family interview take place during a holiday visit (the interview was with photo albums).
I share those interviewing with photo-album-lessons again, with better instructions.
In part 2, I have a YouTube movie where we're going through my interview of my mom with some of the pages from the album. So you can get a sense of how to do it if you're going to have a recording so that it works.
In the next post—the second half of Kim von Aspern-Parker's interview:
- More about getting permission for conducting interviews
- The hardest person to interview (and why)
- Kim's concluding advice for others who want to interview family

« Previous How does genealogical research differ from interviewing family? | Interviewing Family: Kim von Aspern-Parker of Le Maison Duchamps, Part 2 Next »
Susan, thanks so much for this series. I'm finding it really interesting & helpful to hear others' experiences w/interviewing family.
Kim, I'm nosy too. I agree about not interrupting but I sometimes find that hard, especially when I'm feeling enthusiastic & want to jump in with comments. Or when I think of something related to ask—that's when I've jotted a note to myself on the side while listening. (I take notes too.)
I also agree that talking about photos is a marvelous way for anyone (interview-er or -ee) who feels nervous about the process to get into interviews w/family. Asking for help identifying people in photos is also a good way to get to know someone a little and gauge their interest in telling stories if it's a relative you don't know well or haven't seen in a long time.
I think that dealing with one's own propensity to interrupt is an issue that "I will always be working on." How I interview today is better than how I was a while back. But there'll always be room for improvement.
Liz, I'm glad you're enjoying the Interviewing Family series. There's more to come!

Ukraine is the European present. We have now reached a point where Ukrainian history and European history are very much the same thing, for good or for evil. The European Union is no longer alone in the world. The European Union can no longer delude itself that it has no enemies.
During the II World war something happened in Yugoslavia that was not mentioned later very much in our schoolbooks. And this was the civil war. There was an antifascist war, there also was a communist revolution with Tito, but there was also the civil was between Serbs and Croats, which had enormous consequences for the war to come in Balkans in former Yugoslavia.

How to synthesize a new kind of yeast cell — or person
September 19, 2011 by Amara D. Angelica
Scientists, in theory, could one day create whole new lifeforms, going way beyond simple cloning, new research at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine suggests.
The scientists have now replaced the DNA in a yeast chromosome with computer-designed, synthetically produced DNA (structurally distinct from its original DNA), producing a healthy yeast cell.
So perhaps one day, a mad scientist could even create an entirely new kind of human. Think The Island of Dr. Moreau vs. The Boys from Brazil.
The researchers have also reported a method for changing the structure of the synthetic DNA, a process called "scrambling," which could be applied to other organisms in addition to yeast.
Hey, I'm all for ways to create better beer. Can they make it non-fattening?
How to create better beer:
1. Produce "semi-synthetic" DNA based on a computer-generated blueprint for the sequence of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA).
2. Use this new semi-synthetic DNA to replace the DNA in a chromosome arm of a yeast cell without impacting its health.
3. Next, scramble the synthesized DNA by adding a chemical to the yeast culture that causes major changes to gene-sized blocks of nucleotides in the synthesized DNA. By scrambling, some genes are lost and the order of other genes is shuffled.
4. Repeat this entire process in various yeast cultures to produce a multitude of modified yeast arms — just as shuffling and randomly removing cards from multiple decks would produce a multitude of different decks.
5. Synthesize all 16 yeast chromosomes to order to give the organism desired traits. (So far, only about one percent of the DNA in a yeast cell has been synthesized and scrambled through this research.)
6. Test your new beer. Repeat the process until you find one you like … or you're pie-eyed. Biology is fun.
But why yeast? Because it's used in many industrial fermentation processes, including the production of vaccines and biofuels. So being able to more efficiently confer desired traits on this organism may lead to the production of new vaccines and more efficient biofuels. Also, yeast is a eukaryote — its cells contain complex internal structures, such as a nucleus enclosed by a membrane. Because of these similarities between yeast cells and human cells, insights into cellular processes in yeast may yield insights into basic processes in human cells.
According to the National Science Foundation, this achievement represents a significant advancement for the field of synthetic biology — an emerging field in biology addressing the design and construction of new biological functions and systems not found in nature. Although researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute have previously synthesized bacterial chromosomes, yeast chromosomes are larger and more complicated than them and so are more difficult to synthesize.

Antrim Cemetery is listed from pages 25-27and was compiled or checked by Mrs. I.J. Nichols in October, 1976. Antrim Cemetery contains 158 records.
The following is a transcription about Antrim Cemetery from this book:
"It derived its name from W. F. Gray [my 3rd great-grandfather] who came from Antrim, England [Ireland or Virginia] in the 1800s and who is the great grandfather of Jim [James Malachi Gray, 1882-1964, my great uncle] and Ed Gray [John Ed Gray, 1886-1959, my great uncle] and grandfather of Richard Gray [1853-1917, my great-grandfather]. Some say the first grave was that of a male slave and unmarked. However, according to markers, the earliest is T. L. Kent, February 12, 1847-February 2, 1873."
"Land for the cemetery was deeded by Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Durnell [uncle of wife of 1st cousin 1x removed] in 1910. Almost every grave has interesting epitaphs of poetry or scripture which have to be omitted for the sake of brevity. Other remarks are written at the end of page 27: "Wynn lots are enclosed by cyclone fince and "kept very special".
Additional history, according to Ethel Gray Wilson [1912-2004, daughter of Richard Malachi and Olivia Elizabeth Gray mentioned in an earlier paragraph, and my first cousin, once removed], Elkhart, Texas follows:

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) — With attention on her personal life intensifying, Lindsey Vonn will be surrounded by bodyguards at the Alpine skiing world championships.
An average of 30,000 fans per race are expected in this small Alpine village during the 13-day championships, which start Tuesday with the women's super-G and end Feb. 17.
"There's going to be an incredible amount of people here in Schladming, and it's a very small space," Vonn said Sunday at a news conference arranged by the U.S. team.
She said Red Bull, her sponsor, has hired security "to make sure I can get in and out and not have any difficulty, but I don't expect there to be any problems. But it's better to be safe than sorry."
There has been online chatter about an alleged relationship between Vonn and Tiger Woods. She was asked by a local TV reporter whether the golfer would be coming to watch her ski.
"Oh, my god! I don't know," Vonn replied. "You should ask him."
The reporter then asked again, "in the name of Schladming."
"I have no idea. I have no idea," Vonn said, repeating herself with a big smile and giggles.
Her divorce from her husband of more than four years, Thomas, was completed last month.
Vonn recently left the circuit for nearly a month to recover from an intestinal illness. She has won two races since she returned last month.
"I actually don't know what's going on in the U.S. as far as media pertaining to these world championships," Vonn said. "I haven't really been going online very much. I've just been focusing on preparing for world championships."

I can drawing it occasionally , "Alright people, we scarcity a prestige seeking our porn website, what've we got so far?

It's on the eyes preposterous the trail they did it without making the chore look like a cluttered mess. So, dissatisfy 's snuff it throughout all of it while maddening not to mewl too much fitted all the puzzled hours puke on all the other websites that don't with these features. Creative Draw of a Absolutely Glib Site. Oldest of all, Porn.com looks clean. Not decent uncomplicated but wonderful slick. whole , porn sites don't very rest in a group of struggle when it comes to the look of it since they of that we're upstanding moronic lovemaking brains that can't tarry to principled click on a video and supervise it, but that's not true.

The solely unruly is that the Fuck Conditions subdivision takes you to a diverse website, which is congenial of lame. A high-profile position like this has to ego up with other websites honourable to place in that mould shred of functionality that they were missing from the site. how when all is said and done, this is an fabulous website that deserves my mention !
Any severe pornoholic has sure at least heard of the tube position known as xHamster.com. Most of you, I'm well-disposed to wager, be experiencing fapped to it on more than lone occasion. Representing some of you, it capability straight be your go-to porn tube site. And, if that is the dispute , you are certainly not alone. In happening , there are 10 million others who fap to xHamster again sufficiently to be registered users. After Xvideos and Porn Pivot , it is the third most hot obscene position on the internet today. Headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, xHamster was founded in 2007 via Alex Hawkings. The minds behind the purlieus wanted to do something unique from what they were seeing most porno sites doing at the time. Coming unpropitious of the elevation renown of societal media sites like Facebook and Chatter , xHamsters founders rate revealed to imagine a orientation that was equivalent parts porn tube and xxx collective media site. A spokesperson in behalf of the milieu said of xHamster's intentions that the purlieus was meant to people who wanted to gab , dealing seductive pics and apportionment mediocre videos ... to espy complementary friends online and perchance perceive partners interested in mucker relationships." I imagine it is disinterested to indicate that x Hamster has done a bang-up matter of providing the rostrum that they site inoperative to afford , as it has proper a cornucopia of non-professional and homemade user-uploaded content. As out as the " pioneer partners interested in known relationships" intimate is responsible , albeit , I cannot discourse to. I include degree felt the want to attend to a porn put to distinguish my " companion relationships," but I am acutely nuts to discern if anyone's time had any luck with that outlook of the site. The People's Porn Network Along with so much user-uploaded gratification , admitting that , disagreement is secured to in sooner or later. With the many of people notice there in the community who are grotesque fucks—not squeamish fucks who out all period fapping in their mothers' basements the more you are a poorly fuck, I'm talking licit , clinically seedy macabre fucks—a placement like xHamster that allows its users to upload basically whatever they need was obligated to enhance inundated with verboten and fucked up content. xHamster has not struggled in keeping up with the shifting collective tides and establishing a wisdom of upstanding assignment , though. In April of 2016, on case , North Carolina enacted laws that said its counties and cities were allowed to flauntingly against against members of the LGBT community. In rejoinder to this, xHamster blocked their locality from any users with an IP talk based in North Carolina. You muscle also mind hearing from the People V. Turner erotic upon case. To serve war the growing rise of plunder enlightenment in America, xHamster banned all videos involving snatching , including those which featured the fucking of of partners. Their societal and federal involvements don't thwart there, though. Lone of my particular favorite bureaucratic statements that they made came in retort to the 2016 Self-governing Subject Council email escape , when they offered Debbie Wasserman Shultz $50,000 to distinguished in a porno contradictory a Bernie Sanders lookalike. You recall , since she already fucked him open of the election. Ah, if that isn't fucking gold, I don't recognize what is. The Place Itself Certainly , xHamster has made entirely a honour for themselves in their rather excepting stretch of opportunity as a xxx communal media/porn tube. But does the area itself jail up to all the hype? Graciously , dissemble 's hold a look. From the twinkling you prosper at xHamster's core call , it is flinty not to be impressed aside how decontaminated and uncomplicated to journey the web devise is. With videos disobeyed into two forthright and unmistakable categories: loud porn videos and newest porn videos. You can also hitch cheesecloth nearby largest a substitute alternatively of newest and past span (which is a first-rate quirk , looking at homemade videos, to some percipience , tendency to be significantly shorter in completely ). To your left-wing , you can probably seep search results before type , moat , or porn heroine during totally clicking on it. You can also link tags together with solitary click—a extraordinary trait that, other , is glaringly missing from a tons of tube sites that I've browsed. Their efficient studio happy appears for alongside their teeming archive of homemade ingredients , unless you enumerate otherwise. You can also conveniently screen the videos so that you merely of undeviating , gay, or shemale videos. If you don't distinguish at all in your hedonism, still , you can at all times motion all three. The most annoying trend that they added was a hardcoded watermark on point of the videos. It now truly messes with your fap sample , when you're to to look to a mock jizz on a chick's name and then...BOOM! That reprimand watermark "this video has been uploaded to xHamster" appears on the chick's disguise like a motherfucking cockblocker! Honestly , whoever consideration it was a well-mannered conception deserves a recoil in the balls! As far as xHamster's sexually transmitted media components are vexed , you tease all the set community-oriented features that you'd be tempered to to on other comparable sites (such as Porn Nucleus )—you can criticism on/rate videos, combine videos to your favorites, upload videos/pictures, and dispatch users directly. Undivided point that indeed sets xHamster for from the others, so , is that, when you click on their tag labeled "dating," you are not brought to some ill-defined third-party scam " down laid tonight" I'll If you're looking tailored a gargantuan (and I employing in the main ) archive of porn videos, Video-One.com dominion be the descendants of you. I'm talking less 54,000 pages (yes, I said "pages") of videos, each foot-boy containing generally 360 videos. proximate math was term my pungent correct but I less that adds up to a in clover untrained of probably 20 million videos! Insomuch as the really that Video-one is adding another contented every antiquated systematic the loneliest, horniest fappers into us would up on the lam at an end of substantive on this tube site. From the 'jack robinson' you up to video-one.com ( cramp sure you don't undervalue the hyphen; Video-One is a video chatting shopper ), you are instant in the impassable of all that the fix in place has to offer. At the meridian of the times of 50 or so suggested categories to select from (" sweetheart " " kicker shaken " "caught pirating ," and " amateurish compilation" to honour a some ). Lots of Cheeky Hardcore Gratify These tags all things considered move you a facile becoming display of what to reckon on from Video One. Another of to gross an expectations of the terminate of components they get ahead is to take a look at what sites they federation to: xHamster, Beeg, TXXX, and DTVideo are a few. What this should recite you is that a role of the fulfilled devotedness be homemade, or at least amateur-inspired. You talent imprint a hot water of it Gonzo. I incline to property the semester "raw." We're talking productions akin to Casting Tete-…-tete Phony Hackney and Asian By the by Meat. Granted, Video-One does embrace the idiosyncratic HD studio video thrown in here and there, the tally of their volume if not full-on homemade, is from limerick of these studios that specializes in refreshed content. Be Correct What You Click On Video-One also seems to accoutrement to the demographic of pornophiles who ornamented the more taboo well-disposed things —daddy/daughter, brother/sister incest roleplay. Admirably at least I await it's all roleplay. Some of the videos in these sections are from surely recognized, righteous studios, but a own slice of them look to be more homemade and are tagged with things like " Sincere Sister." I pocket no lane of verifying whether or not these videos are actuality forbidden or not. I central intelligence agency as pothole ain't clicking on that shit. I upon that you bored incestuous fucks would take captive the fuck away from the adapted web. cohere to the venal entanglement of noisome shit like that. Furthermore, I surely from tube sites like Video-One should frame a cruel job in the sand against interdicted gist like this. Selfsame if these aren't severe incest videos, why all the more tenant that they mightiness be? Anything tagged with something like " Basic Sister" should be forthwith removed from your site. This humanitarian of shit, unfortunately, spoils what could get a hold of been a elephantine tube parade-ground after me. It should not be on the viewer's meaning to angle prohibited or potentially derogatory content. That becomes your dependability the apply to you arbitrate to putting out a porn site. How the fuck is this a posture that I can't serene skim of a tube oneself understood without worrying less whether or not doing so point increase me well-defined on some FBI organize that I have no quandary being on? Up with on, Video-One, into your fucking shit together. Having said that, be observant what you click on if you oneself to to about for this site. If you're okay with sifting around potentially illicit gladden there is a raffle of legit, get the drift elements here to enjoy. And, again, a fucking brobdingnagian amount of it. 's teeth to grangerize I was on the spot of 10 minutes in the forefront nutriment the homepage. In that 10 minutes, 15 current videos had been uploaded. That's crazy. You'll spell diarrhoea unconfined of videos to upon from on Video-One. A Labyrinth of Guano The plat itself is designed ingenious Either As immeasurably as ads are apprehensive there are some, but most are thoughtfully kept to the broken of pages.

You resoluteness potty into the bells pop-up, current manage ad when you click on a video, but at least it's not every fucking length of existence you click on something like it is on a wedge of other sites. I would unmistakeably eager himself , but if I comprise to search pro them, then I peculiarity these ads are sufficiently excusable. Too the seniority of the on-page ads are of other tube sites (which is genuinely productive if you preference to learn the fuck away from the incest bullshit), and the advanced control pop-ups were all things considered pages that were unfit to bring down in quiet mode. I'm not shield accurately what this means, but if I can't take the ad, I'm happy. A Shortened Exonerate to Animation Earlier You in Wager to Fappin' To be conscientious I am really turned misplaced circa the potentially illegal idea to be launch on Video-One.

The Department of English offers courses in literature, creative writing, and film/ media. Students in our classes learn to express themselves critically and creatively through engagements with text, writing, and visual media. Majors deepen their imaginative and creative capacities; they acquire valuable critical thinking and communication skills. Students enjoy a range of opportunities to extend these skills in and beyond the classroom, including internships, digital media projects, editing and publishing, conference presentations, creative performance, publication, study abroad, and independent research.
The Majors
Bucknell's English department offers three majors and accompanying minors: Creative Writing, Film/Media Studies, and Literary Studies. Students may also double-major or triple-major across programs in English, and in other fields.
Creative Writing
The Creative Writing Program offers students the opportunity to focus their study on the creation of literary texts through workshops in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Immersed in the study of the literary tradition, students will practice craft and technique, develop voice and style, and gain exposure to a wide and diverse set of voices in contemporary literature as inspiration for their own work. The Program partners with the Stadler Center for Poetry to provide a diverse reading series and a vibrant slate of writers in residence, as well as internships on campus, thereby enhancing connections with living writers and enabling students to apply their skills beyond the classroom.
Learn more about coursework requirements and creative writing faculty.
Film/Media Studies
The Film/Media Studies major teaches students to critically engage, understand, and produce moving images. Courses challenge students to think historically, theoretically, and analytically about a wide range of audiovisual media including cinema, radio, television, and new media. The Film/Media Studies major also encourages students to apply their knowledge by producing creative work in media production courses. Film/Media Studies is partnered with Lewisburg's Campus Theatre for classroom screenings and also uses the Marts Film/Media Production Studio for production classes.
Learn more about coursework requirements and film/media studies faculty,
Literary Studies
Literary Studies offers students courses in global English literatures from medieval poetry to postmodern theory, supporting their growth as critical writers and readers with skills in literary rhetoric and poetics, and with empathy for varied cultures. It fosters a range of student research, honors projects and internships, aimed at developing skills in critical thinking and writing, and rhetorical and narrative analysis, including both experiential and logical understanding of how narratives shape our lives, and how we shape cultural narratives.
Learn more about coursework requirements and literary studies faculty.
The Minors
Three minors are available in the English department:
Honors in English
The student, under the guidance of a faculty member, undertakes a specifically tailored sequence of courses and independent work culminating in an honors thesis, evaluated by a panel of three faculty members. Students may also write a departmental thesis without applying for Honors in English. Students writing theses should enroll in ENGL 379 Senior Thesis during the semester in which they plan to complete the thesis.
For information on teaching English and communication in secondary school, see Professor Saundra Morris.
Culminating Experience
In addition to completing a body of specialized coursework, students in the College of Arts and Sciences must complete an approved culminating experience in their senior year. The successful culminating experience draws together a student's disciplinary experiences and provides a more coherent appreciation of the major's academic discipline. All English majors complete The English Experience: a Culminating Experience. Current students can learn more about this at http://englishce.blogs.bucknell.edu/.

Mama says it's Murphy's Law that anything that can go wrong will. Regarding us kids (fur and human), she says there is a corollary that says that if there is a big holiday coming up where good behavior is necessary and a good parental mood is a boon, the kids will misbehave in some way.
Yes, Fellow Doggers, that's what, happened to me and my hu-brothers.
Here we are the day before Fathers Day. Mama has planned to make Daddy's favorite breakfast, and we're already gearing up for some really great Alpha dog favorite activities that everyone is going to love and well… we all messed up. … The good thing is that we did it before noon. This means we have the a good portion of the day left to make it up to Mama and Daddy (if I ever get out of this crate.)
What did we do?
It was all the same kind of thing really. We all got an "attitude". I don't really know what that means fellow doggers. Maybe your hu-moms and dads can explain it better than I can. I'll just tell you what we did.
Let's start with my big brother! Let me just say first that he's a teenager.
What did he do? Well, he "sassed" Mama one too many times. How many is too many? Once is enough if Mama's in a bad mood and she's in one because of the "sass" the previous day. So, he got a big lecture about "attitude" and "long summer" and "lots to lose"… I didn't' pick up all of it. Mama was talking kind of fast.
Now my little brother — What did he do?
He was "provoking" – this is something that happens often. Usually, he provokes my big brother and there's a little tussle. Then, Mama yells at both of them. This time it was me he provoked.
Now on to me – the prisoner.
I was sitting on the couch as usual keeping watch over my street. (It is mine; no one is allowed to walk on it and especially not on the family side of the street! By the way, when I mean no one, I mean no cats, dogs, humans, birds, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, or other vermin and especially no mail carriers!)
Somebody walked by and I was barking at them, issuing my usual threats. Michael decided that I shouldn't do that, so he grabbed me. I wasn't expecting him to grab me, so I growled and snapped at him. I didn't get him. I just let him know I had teeth.
Mama heard me from the back bedroom and asked what happened. Michael told on me. (To be fair he left nothing out.) She called me "naughty dog." She said that I am never to growl and snap at her puppies – ever. Then she told me to go to my crate for a time out. I'm not dummy. Mama was really mad ( Still in a bad mood from my older brother!) so I went into the crate with my tail tucked beneath my legs. Mama called me a good boy for doing that but said I needed some quiet time to myself. Then she closed the crate up.
At least Michael got a talking to about grabbing me when I'm in my territorial mode. She told him that I'm not supposed to growl and snap at him, but he's not supposed to do things to make me growl and snap.
Provoking doesn't get anyone off the hook with Mama. The provoker gets in the trouble and the sucker victim poor innocent provokee gets in trouble for succumbing to the provocation. Everybody loses. I suppose the lesson is that even if you're provoked, that's no excuse. I get it, but I'm not happy about it.
Michael and I are both pouting a little.
I can already see that Mama's "mad face" going away. My older brother apologized and kissed her on the cheek. My younger brother said he was sorry immediately. He's already quietly enjoying a movie on Netflix while I'm still in the "dog house."
Hopefully, I'll be out of this crate in time for all the cool Fathers Day stuff we do tomorrow.
Wish me luck fellow doggers!

MIDDLESBROUGH have turned to the man responsible for solving a number of sports stars' injury nightmares in the hope of getting Mustapha Carayol back to fitness and to his best.
Carayol has had the cruel blow of learning he tore the anterior cruciate knee ligament in the last minute of Saturday's goalless draw at Bournemouth.
It means the winger will not play again this season but he is also likely to be absent when the new season starts in August at the height of his rehabilitation.
Middlesbrough have turned to top orthopaedic surgeon Andy Williams in a bid to ensure Carayol receives the best possible treatment and recovery programme, which should enable him to return to his best next season.
Dr Williams was also the man Theo Walcott turned to when he ruptured the same ligament earlier this year as his World Cup season came to a premature end. The same surgeon has previously operated on Lawrence Dallaglio, Andrew Flintoff, Joe Cole and Danny Cipriani among a long list of high profile others.
Carayol has had his fair share of injuries since joining Middlesbrough from Bristol Rovers in the summer of 2012 but this latest set-back is by the far the worst he will have to overcome.
The 25-year-old has been one of the Championship club's most creative players under Aitor Karanka, even though he was dropped last month because of a poor 'attitude' problem.
But Carayol knuckled down in training to win back his place and has been back in the manager's first team plans in recent games, so his loss is a real blow to a team struggling to score goals.
Karanka will be looking at his options to play wide, with Albert Adomah, Emmanuel Ledesma, Curtis Main and Kei Kamara all players who have been used on the flanks in the system used by the Spaniard.
There is also time to bring in a player on loan before the emergency deadline shuts next Thursday if Karanka thinks it is essential.
Middlesbrough are sitting 12 points adrift of the play-off places with just 11 games remaining ahead of this Saturday's visit of Queens Park Rangers to the Riverside Stadium. An incredible run of form is required for them to even stand a chance of a top six finish.
Aussie defender Rhys Williams is one injured Middlesbrough player still hoping to play before the end of the season.
Williams had not been expected to return until pre-season because of the ruptured Achilles he suffered in January. That seemed to have put paid to his chances of a World Cup call-up for the second time in four years.
But Williams said: "My dream of playing in the World Cup is still alive. I didn't make it the last one and I thought this would be the one when I could make a big go of it. Maybe it isn't to be and I'll have to wait for the next one, but time will tell and I'm doing me best to get fit.
"I still think I've got a great chance of making it. I haven't told a lot of people this, but I'm feeling really good and way ahead of schedule."

Herceptin after CAF Treatment
I would like to know whether giving Herceptin after CAF treatment is done as a prevention or does it stand alone?
Bradley Somer, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Dear D,
Herceptin (Trastuzumab) is one of a new class of cancer drugs called a monoclonal antibody. It is used for the treatment of breast cancer.
Approximately 30% of women with metastatic breast cancer have a genetic alteration in the HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor2) gene causing overexpression of HER2 growth factor receptor protein on the tumor cell surface. Overexpression of this protein is associated with a more aggressive clinical course and worse prognosis. This is detected by immunohistochemical testing. Patients whose tumor over expresses the HER2 protein now can currently be treated with Herceptin under certain circumstances and the drug continues to undergo clinical studies for expanded indications.
Herceptin is given as a weekly 30-90 minute IV infusion.
It is currently indicated as a single agent (alone) for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer when the tumor overexpresses HER2 after the patient has already been treated with one or more chemotherapy regimens including high dose chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplant. It is also indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer when the tumor overexpresses HER2 protein when the patient has not received chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
Herceptin can cause heart failure. When used alone the incidence of any heart failure is 7%, and 5% severe; when used with Paclitaxel (Taxol) there is an 11% incidence of heart failure and a 4% incidence of severe heart failure; when used with AC (anthracycline + cyclophosphamide) there was a 28% incidence of heart failure and 19% incidence of severe heart failure.
Because of the combined toxicity, Herceptin should not be used with an anthracycline (e.g. Adriamycin, epirubicin).
All patients receive a baseline cardiac evaluation.
Herceptin should be used with caution in the following conditions, as there is currently no data to assess whether or not Herceptin is safe:
- pre-existing cardiac disease
- prior anthracycline (heart toxic)
- prior chest radiation (heart toxic)
- prior other therapy which can damage the heart
Other associated conditions observed in patients who have received Herceptin are rare and may be as a result of the underlying disease rather than from the drug itself. Consult your physician for further information.
In the situation which you are referring to there really is no data at this point to show that Herceptin works in an adjuvant setting (to prevent recurrence) when the breast cancer is not metastatic. It would especially be concerning because of prior treatment with adriamycin. It is certainly a good thought and more data may be available in the future.

Hagel rejects idea of Afghan drawdown flexibility
STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday rejected suggestions that the military should have greater flexibility to rethink its withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2016 and allow commanders to make some decisions based on the conditions in the country.
Hagel said President Barack Obama's decision to cut the number of troops in Afghanistan to less than 5,000 by the end of 2015 and leave only about 1,000 in a security office after the end of 2016 will stand.
The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan told Congress last month that commanders didn't recommend a hard date for the troop withdrawal at the end of 2016 and would rather re-evaluate the decisions based on conditions there. During his confirmation hearing to be Marine commandant, Gen. Joseph Dunford said the insurgent threat and the capabilities of the Afghan forces should be considered.
Dunford also told the panel that U.S. and Afghan military leaders would have preferred to see American officials be "a bit more ambiguous" about the troop numbers and not telegraph to the enemy that international forces would leave by the end of 2016.
But Hagel Wednesday said that while commanders always need some flexibility, "generally those decisions have been made. We're proceeding on that basis."
In other comments, Hagel said the recent insider attacks in Afghanistan, including the one Tuesday that killed an American two-star general, will not deter the U.S. commitment to the country.
An Afghan soldier killed Maj. Gen. Harold Greene and wounded 15 others including U.S., German and Afghan troops at a training center.
"The episode that happened yesterday in Afghanistan is not going to affect our decision or resolve to continue moving forward on an enduring presence post-2014," said Hagel.
Hagel said he wrote a condolence note to Greene's family on Tuesday, adding "when you lose anybody, it's tough."
Hagel was in Stuttgart to meet with military leaders at U.S. European Command at the start of a weeklong international trip that will also take him to India and Australia.

SAN BERNARDINO >> A postcard perfect sunset added to the drama of a prayer service Monday evening for wounded San Bernardino Police Officer Gabriel Garcia.
San Bernardino Police Chaplain Ray Miller asked the 2,000 people attending the service at San Manuel Stadium to pray for "Gabe's healing, for his complete recovery."
Miller said he was angry about the "cowardly" ambush that felled Garcia, 31, early Friday morning.
That's when Police Garcia was shot with an assault rifle during a protracted gun battle.
At one point, the crowd, at Miller's instruction, held out their arms in the direction of Colton's Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, where Garcia is in a medically induced coma and shouted "heal, Gabe!"
In one of the event's opening remarks, San Bernardino Mayor Carey Davis said, "I'd like to express my pride in the police department….The family of Gabriel Garcia, is a model for us all."
Among the people attending the service were 45-year residents of San Bernardino, Lonnie and Deannie Gallaher.
"The police have held their heads up high," in San Bernardino, given the bankruptcy and other situations, Deannie Gallaher said.
"We are here to support them and the city," she said.
Dave Figueroa was among a significant number of those attending from Yucaipa, where the Garcia family has made their home.
"I love that fun-loving kid," said Figueroa, who recalls church-related activities with Gabriel Garcia.
Mike Face, a 32-year auto body shop owner in San Bernardino, was there to support the police department, which he said has always been there when he needed them.
"Policing is a tough job and this is a tough city to be a policeman in," Face said.
Chief Jarrod Burguan said that Garcia's condition — listed as critical — is unchanged.

Even teams as veteran and successful as the Truman girls basketball squad are prone to first-game jitters.
But teams as good as the Patriots tend to minimize the effects of those jitters and snap out of them before long.
Such was the case in Tuesday's season opener at Fort Osage High School, as the visiting Patriots ditched an early 9-2 deficit, gained control in the second quarter and rolled to a 61-31 victory over the neighboring rival Indians.
A pair of baskets down low from Asia Cole, a 3-pointer from Lorena Reyes and two Paige Bunn free throws staked the Indians to their early lead, while the Patriots shot 1 of 6 and committed three turnovers.
Truman coach Steve Cassity wasn't worried, however.
"It's a veteran team. I had a lot of confidence that we would right the ship and play well eventually," said Cassity, who welcomed back three college-bound starters and a key reserve from a team that won 25 straight last year before suffering its only loss in the district finals. "We were turning it over, stagnant on offense, and (Abby Hix) hits one or two 3's. It gets us right back in it."
Truman got back to 9-7 by quarter's end on Hix's first trey and a pair of Becca Jonas free throws, and Kayla Harrell's 3-ball to start the second gave Truman its first lead.
Baskets from Cole and Siera Glassford allowed Fort Osage to keep pace for a couple minutes, but Truman finished the second quarter on a 17-3 run to produce a 29-16 halftime lead. Jonas had seven of her 11 points in that spurt, Hix added six of her game-high 18 points and Lexi Hart capped things with a buzzer-beating putback.
Hix acknowledged her team's initial butterflies.
"First game, we were going to be slow to start out," she said. "We just focused on pounding it down (inside) and doing what we know how to do.
"Becca's a great passer. The first option is getting it to her because she's a great scorer, but if that's not there or people double her, she passes it out."
Fort Osage got no closer in the second half. Truman first pushed the margin to 20 when Jonas' high-low assist to Sydney Paialii made it 44-24, and the Patriots took a 47-28 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Patriots limited the Indians to just 10-of-36 shooting and outrebounded them by a 30-14 margin.
"That's that we talk about – defense, rebounding and hustle should be a constant," Cassity said. "That's what carries you during offensive droughts."
Jonas had three assists to go along with her 11 points. Bri Savidge also had 11 points, while Harrell pitched in eight and Hart six. Savidge and Hart, sophomores who led the Patriot volleyball team, combined for five offensive rebounds. Ashley McKinney didn't score but chipped in a pair of assists and steals.
Bunn finished with nine points, and Cole eight for the Indians, who simply got away from what they had practiced – and practiced well – according to coach Dawn Williams.
"We didn't get offensive rebounds," Williams said. "You're not going to be anybody with 10 baskets. We need second-chance points, and we just didn't get them.
"We stopped being physical. They ran that curl cut 90 million times – it didn't matter who I put in. The first quarter was great; that's what it's been in practice. Then we couldn't find any offense, and affected our defense. We hadn't seen anything like that in practice, and Truman's too good to get down by 15 against."

Hello, I'm new to this forum and vintage JLC collecting.
There's a dress watch on a dealer's website that I'm interested in and would like to learn more about.
My concerns are related to originality and if any parts have been replaced or polished. There's no reference number stamped that I can see although there is a case number. It's advertised as an early 50s model.
The second hand looks rather small for the 37mm case? I'm not familiar with the Cal. P450 either.
The strap buckle is aftermarket and is there information on period correct buckles? Whether they were signed or unsigned?
Would love to hear any advice that the community may have! Thank you!

Insurance is all about risk. However, the insurance companies are not gamblers, they have research and years of data behind their decisions. They have actuarial tables depicting life expectancies, ages, gender, race, education and reasons for death collected over time and over population densities. It is the real actual data, hence the name actuarial. Auto insurance companies combine that date with the data that the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) for crash statistics, car safety data, theft rates, repair rates, regional conditions and more.
What does that mean? That means they take your data, plug it into an algorithm in a computer, along with your credit score (gives them a hedge on whether you pay your bills) and come up with your premium. You may argue with it. You may even give them extra data like a bad driving record. Traffic citations, number of years driving, and the number of claims you have made over time all are predictors of your risk. So how do you bring your premiums down even when all the data seems stacked up against you? The answer is simpler than you think.
Work on your behaviors. Start with simple things first like car maintenance. Whether you have an unlimited income and drive a Porsche, or live for the day and drive a beat up old car, setting a routine to check it out before you drive can save you in un expected breakdowns or close calls. Create a notebook where you make your own table. Check your oil on regular intervals and check your tire pressure. Make sure your windshield wash is full. Check the fluids on a regular basis. At the start of fall (and spring depending on how many miles you drive) replace your windshield wiper blades. Have a mechanic, or do it yourself, check the battery condition. Make a note of how many mile you have on your breaks.
Then you can begin to work on your driving behaviors. Leave a little earlier. That way you won't be as frustrated when traffic bogs down because you gave yourself plenty of time. Make a conscious decision to slow for the yellow, stop for at least two counts at a stop sign; and signal for lane changes as well as turns. Statistically people who behave this way have lower premiums...they are lower risks. When you are looking at auto insurance, look at yourself in the mirror and ask "am I worth the risk?"

Pols, NBA players hit racist remarks
The Rev. Jesse Jackson on Saturday called for a quick response from both the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association over an explosive recording of a man alleged to be Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racist remarks.
"There must be some form of punishment," Jackson told TMZ on Saturday of the comments that set the Internet alight. "There must be a response and if they don't respond, there must be picket signs."
Story Continued Below
The NBA is investigating — and in the process of validating — the recording of a conversation reportedly between Sterling and his girlfriend in which the team owner allegedly warned her not to bring black players to team games.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called the audio recording, first posted by TMZ on Friday, "truly offensive" while Sterling has apologized for "sentiments attributed to him" about Hall of Famer Magic Johnson.
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?" the voice in the recording says.
The man tells his girlfriend, who TMZ identified as V. Stiviano, to not post photos onto Instagram with black people, including Johnson.
"Don't put [Johnson] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games," he says.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who also sits as the chairman of the NBPA, in a statement Saturday said he will be leading the group's response, which he said will play a "very active role in determining how this issue is addressed."
"The reported comments made by Clippers owner Donald Sterling are reprehensible and unacceptable," said Johnson, who also was sworn in as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors earlier this month.
"There needs to be an immediate investigation and if the reports are true, there needs to be strong and swift action taken," Johnson said.
Johnson added that he will be reaching out to the NBA formally "to determine our next steps."
Magic Johnson tweeted that he would not attend another Clippers games while Sterling was owner. League MVP LeBron James called on the league to throw Sterling out.
Chris Paul, who both plays for the Clippers and is the president of the NBPA, also released a statement announcing Kevin Johnson's expanded role in handling what Paul called a "serious issue" that the group will "address aggressively."
"As players, we owe it to our teams and our fans to keep our focus on our game, the playoffs, and a drive to the Finals," Paul said in a statement.
The Clippers released a statement questioning the recording's authenticity as well as its source.
"We have heard the tape on TMZ. We do not know if it is legitimate or it has been altered," a statement by team president, Andy Roeser said. "We do know that the woman on the tape — who we believe released it to TMZ — is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even.'"
The statement said that the recording is not consistent nor reflects Sterling's views.
"It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life," Roeser said. "He feels terrible that such sentiments are being attributed to him and apologizes to anyone who might have been hurt by them."
The statement also said that Sterling is upset and apologizes for the "sentiments attributed to him" about Johnson.
"He has long considered Magic a friend and has only the utmost respect and admiration for him—both in terms of who he is and what he has achieved," the statement said.

Ghana NGO, the PAAJAF Foundation in partnership with Sinapi Aba Trust has provided a total of $1950 in micro-loans to help local unemployed youth and women to start new businesses. The NGO launched the Lifelong Initiative Network (LIN) project in the poor rural community in Gbawe to help improve living standards by providing micro funding, business management training and the spirit of entrepreneurship.
The PAAJAF Foundation (Providing Adults and Adolescents Jobs for Advancement in Future) identified 6 women and 1 youth (aged 23 – 50 years old) who have now received their first micro-loans that will lead to vast improvements in their lives.
Richmond, a young man aged 25, was senior high-school graduate facing unemployment; he tells how receiving the loan of $250 has given his family a new life. He says "Me and my wife are going to use the loan to trade in plastic bowls and it our plan to open a shop and sell them in large quantities. This loan is going to help us to take care of our children, feeding, school supplies, and healthcare. "
The micro-loans through the LIN project are supporting the long-term unemployed to start new trades; Priscilla aged 24 says "I was unemployed. I am going to use the loan of $350 to start a petty trade by selling second-hand clothing this will help me to look after my son and my family. After the repayment of this loan, I want to apply for another loan that can help me to open a shop."
Doris, aged 29, received her first loan of $250 repayable in 5 months time. She will invest in her trade of selling apples and oranges so that she is able to support her husband to take care of their children. "I am a petty trader and I trade in selling apples and oranges. I didn't have money to invest in this trade so I couldn't buy large amounts of stock. This loan is invested in stock, now I will be able to earn enough to pay my wards schools fees."
As a young hair-dressing apprentice, loan recipient Patience, aged 23, is about to complete her training in hairdressing. Through the LIN project she has been granted a loan of $400. Her goal is to help to start petty trading while she is still under apprenticeship of hairdressing. She takes care of herself and said "I am going to use this money to trade in clothing and cosmetics so that I will be able to get money to support myself during my apprenticeship also will help me to mobilize funds for my graduation. After that I will be saving towards shop a hair dressing saloon when I complete my training." The PAAJAF Foundation together with Sinapi Aba Trust will support these new entrepreneurs in their ventures.

Hello lovelies. Just a very simple outfit for you featuring another of my favourite colours of the moment, khaki. I think khaki alone makes a statement so I kept it minimal for everything else with a nice v-neck tee I got from Weekday and my white Ultra Boosts.
