It is rather interesting to look at the spelling of the Maguire name of the 9th century. It is indicated as MacGuire. One might think it to be Scottish and I have been asked many times if I am Scottish. I used to always say "no" to that question. Now, I can't say no to it in general as there could be some Scottish back there in my line but it is looking like my McGuire side is not Scottish and I can probably say that going back about a thousand or so years. They are, in pretty decent fact and company, Irish.
The name does originate as MacUidhir meaning son of Uidhir from County Westmeath, Ireland circa 956 A.D. It means son of pale one. Once again, there I go quoting the "write-ups" that accompany most heraldry information for an additional free. That description of Uidhir about sums up my appearance except for the color I get from spending too much time out in the California sun. I am pretty pale.
Online there is a whole lot of information about Maguire/McGuire surname. There are DNA projects out there some of which only want males to participate. I find the information to be rather disjointed and again does not get me to my own personal family tree. Oh but wait, I was writing about Irish kings. I can at least do that for grins.
The "first" Maguire king, Donn Carrach Maguire, died in 1302. The Maguire's are indicated as the rulers in County Fermanagh (or what is Fermanagh in Northern Ireland today). How and when they migrated from County Westmeath to Fermanagh is not something that I have on hand. That is probably okay because it would be more detail that what I looking for at this point in time.
When I look up some factual history about the Maguire's of Fermanagh, I find that they were referred to as chieftains rather than kings. There was a Hugh the Hospitable and several other chieftains of various names. I came across another Hugh - Aodh Mag Uidhir (Hugh) - who died in 1600. What strikes me to be most interesting about Hugh Maguire, Lord of Fermanagh, was that he was the leader during the reign of Elizabeth I of England. He died fighting the crown during the Nine Years War.
Reading biographical information about those considered to be "royalty" of Ireland does give you an insight into Irish history. It also makes you realize that the Annuals of the Four Masters are probably your best bet in understanding the "possible" ancestors of your own Irish line. At least, it is interesting!
Journaling my genealogy research online seems to be the right thing to do for the future of my research rather than hiding it away in some box or drawer in my home. This blog is more of a diary of my research which expands as I go. Know that a post from last year may have more updated research in a different post. I love the discovery process which has resulted in such wonderful success in finding my roots. If you comment and are looking for a response, please leave me an email address.

As members of the media waited outside the UTSA practice facility Tuesday morning, a loud cheer rang out just as the Roadrunners finished the drill.
One of the young players was hailed loudly for scoring a touchdown on the last play.
A hangover?
There was no sign of anything like that from last weekend's loss to Rice.
"We've got a good mood," UTSA coach Larry Coker said. "The thing is, they understand we had some opportunities and we're a work in progress.
"I think the thing you see is, we're going to get better, and we know we have to, to win."
Riding a three-game losing streak, UTSA is off this week for the first time since the start of its third football season.
"These guys are hungry," Coker said. "They're competitive. They want to win. So we got to make sure we do the right things (with the off week).
"But the mood's been good. Not bad at all. And we're not going to accept anything less. If they want to be moody and pout they can go someplace else."
The same applied this time a year ago during a four-game losing streak.
Eventually, UTSA pulled out of the skid and finished strong, winning its last three.
Linebacker Steven Kurfehs said he's confident that something like that can happen again for UTSA (2-5, 1-2 in Conference USA).
"Very confident," Kurfehs said. "I'm confident in our players and coaches. We've all been in the film room. We've all been out here. No one's dragging around. No one's feeling sorry for themselves.
"We just got to get out of here and do the best that we can."
UTSA plays next against Alabama-Birmingham (2-4, 1-1).
The game is set for Oct. 26 at the Alamodome.

Jack Creek Farms: Templeton, CA
Jack Creek Farms is a 5th generation family owned and operated farm. There used to be 21 small family farms in their neck of the woods in the Central Coast (between San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles) but now there are only three.
Joy B and her two daughters Becky and Mandy do all the work – and they're the first to admit that staying the course is a struggle. But when you see their produce – they specialize in antique heirloom varieties – you understand why they stay committed to their passion.
For example, this year alone they planted over forty varieties of heirloom tomatoes and forty different kinds of squash, including the unusually beautiful Lumina pumpkin which has a ghostly white exterior, and a stunning orange interior flesh, which makes for a fun spooky effect when they are carved and a candle is placed inside.
Jack Creek Farms relies mostly on their you-pick, direct sales, so the next time you're in the area, stop by. And if you're lucky, Becky's in their small commercial kitchen whipping-up something delicious, like Savannah sweet onion relish.
If you're not anywhere near the area, you can still visit their website (www.jackcreekfarms.com) for recipes like Becky's Butternut Enchiladas, Trail Ready Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, and Aunt Jani's Backyard AppleTree Cake.

Survival Mode
Some times the best we can do is keep them alive.
I won't sugar coat it: Parenting can be really hard at times. The little ones don't understand what it means that you didn't get enough sleep last night or have been stressed over work and finances. They can't relate to how you feel when your car won't start and your already 20 minutes late. Some times we go in to "survival mode" and all we can do is make sure they are safe and entertained. The play dates stop, the adventures outdoors are on hold and cartoons or video games go from a few minutes here and there to several hours at a time.
There is nothing wrong with survival mode in and of itself but it becomes unhealthy for both you and your children when it becomes "the norm". We've been living like this for almost a year now because of my work schedule (60+ hours a week between 2 jobs) and daily feel the pressure of piling responsibilities and deadlines. It's easy to feel like there is no way out but we can finally see a light at the end. It's taken a lot of planning, a lot of adjusting, a lot of patience and a lot of communication with my wife and kids but we've made it work.
The root of the strain on my family goes back to me over-commuting to clients and taking on to many problems. In an attempt to provide for my family I've actually put more weight on them. I'm not the only parent to take on to much in an attempt to make life easier for his family and I definitely won't be the last but that is no excuse to continue to live like this. In those seasons where there is just to much on your plate it's important to talk with your spouse and figure out where you can make daily time for each other and your children. We provide best for our families with our engaged presence.

Professor Nigel Slater has been awarded the Donald Medal of the Institution of Chemical Engineers. The medal is named after a long-serving Honorary Secretary and former Ramsay Professor at University College London where biochemical engineering was first established in the UK. It is awarded by the Biochemical Engineering Subject Group of the IChemE for outstanding services in biochemical engineering. The medal will be presented at the IChemE BESG Young Researchers Meeting which is to be held at Fitzwilliam College in Cambridge this coming Easter.
Nigel said "I am delighted on behalf of the biochemical engineering effort in the Department and in particular I am grateful to all the researchers and staff in CUBE and CURB, past and present, because it is they that have made this achievement possible."

Greek mainstream press is awash with stories claiming that 2014 will be a bumper year for Greek tourism. It remains to be seen whether this will prove to be the case here (and I wholeheartedly wish that it will be but one particular data print worried me a bit).
Here's the relevant chart.
|source: Bank of Greece
May was the first month that a hefty rise in travel services exports was recorded in 2013. Jump to May 2014 and the growth in relevant exports can be characterized as anemic at best.
If one cares to look closer then he/she will find out that the rise in receipts for the Jan-May period was lower than that of non-residents' arrivals. Something that was not the case in 2013 when on a year-over-year basis receipts rose more than arrivals. This means that receipts per capita fell (thus far) in 2014 while it had risen in 2013.
|source: Bank of Greece
Now that the base effect is over, will growth in travel services exports slow to a halt like it did in May? If that is the case then growth estimates could prove to be overly optimistic. Fingers crossed that May's print was just a blip.

In the 1980s, Diane Holland, who has died aged 78, was a Sunday night fixture as one of the ensemble cast of the holiday camp television sitcom Hi-De-Hi! The series was written by Jimmy Perry - who was Holland's brother-in-law - and David Croft. While it never challenged their earlier BBC success, Dad's Army, for critical standing or subsequent longevity, it was consistently successful in the ratings and lasted for nine series, from 1980 to 1988.
Holland's character was the loftier half of Yvonne and Barry Stuart-Hargreaves, a ballroom dancing couple. She referred to jockey Fred Quilley (Felix Bowness) as "that common little man", and blanched at having to take part in the That's Your Bum competition. Over the series' run, it was gradually revealed that her husband had been socially upgraded by her. He was played by Barry Howard (pictured below with Holland), a good friend in real life.
She was born June Diane Neeltje in Melbourne, Australia, and was partly Dutch - the Holland in her professional name represented her ancestry. On arrival in Britain, the family was hampered by her father's ill-health, the after-effects of having been gassed in the first world war trenches.
Initially intent on a singing and dancing career, she trained at London's Cone Ripman, which eventually became the Arts Educational school. Her TV debut was at the bottom of the cast list in Cinderella, the BBC's annual pantomime, starring Jack Hulbert and broadcast on Boxing Day 1950.
She had a spell in ATV's much-mocked soap opera Crossroads, in 1966 and 1969, as a constantly ill housewife. She was also an effective foil to Eric Sykes, her imperious demeanour contrasting well with his comic everyman. As well as his BBC series (in 1972) and a special, The Likes of Sykes (1980), she was in Big Bad Mouse, a long-running farce at London's Prince of Wales theatre that owed its success to the improvisations of Sykes and Jimmy Edwards. A TV recording was made, by Thames, in 1972.
Her occasional "straight" appearances included Fathers and Families (BBC, 1977), a family saga by Z-Cars stalwart John Hopkins; Tales of the Unexpected (1980) as the wife of bullying Joss Ackland, with Denholm Elliott as his victim; and The Children of Dynmouth (1987), a film for the Screen Two series, written by William Trevor. An episode of Bergerac (1990) hardly stretched her in the role of an icy music teacher.
She worked for Croft again, as a magistrate, in Grace & Favour (1992-93), shown as Are You Being Served Again? in America, where its predecessor was (to the bewilderment of many in Britain) enduringly popular.
For the Royal Ballet, she played one of the maiden aunts in Sir Peter Wright's staging of The Nutcracker, at the Royal Opera House in 2000, shown on BBC2 on Christmas Day, and the following year had a guest role in Casualty.
Offscreen, while far removed from her snobbish Hi-De-Hi! character, she always retained an air of sophistication, and a dry sense of humour. On being excitedly informed at her agent's that she had to have a mobile phone, for times of urgency, she replied: "Nothing could be that urgent, Anthea."
Living quietly in Surrey, she always eschewed publicity. She is survived by her sister Gilda.
• Diane Holland (June Diane Neeltje), actor and dancer, born 28 February 1930; died 24 January 2009

Let's start with Christmas ornaments, and really, there's only one place to get them...
Gloria Duchin.
Gloria Duchin, Inc. is a thirty-four-year-old company based in Rhode Island. Fifteen feet from my desk is the factory, where I can walk out back and see the finishing touches applied to each ornament. When you call our company, your call does not go to India, it comes right here, to the front of the office. Chances are, you'll speak directly to me at some point. When you order an ornament from us, it usually ships out same day, because IT'S RIGHT HERE. Everything we sell is lead-free, cadmium-free, and made to last. No excuses that they're hard to find either, because our ornaments are sold in mass market retailers nationwide. So what are you waiting for? My baby is hungry.
Green Toys.
Green Toys made in the USA, they are MADE OUT OF RECYCLED PLASTIC. Good God. I can save American jobs and the Earth at the same time?? We already got my son the dump truck and he loves it. It was affordable, and so far, pretty durable. He has thrown it around quite a few times and it's still in one piece. If you have a child who loves trucks, he or she needs one of these.
More ideas
I hate double-doing work. It's a waste of time when someone else has already done it better and with more detail. This blog is great: USA Lovelist. They have stories, products suggestions, gift guides, and their own Amazon powered store featuring domestic products, a lot of them you already know and love.
And don't forget, this Saturday is Small Business Saturday, so buy your favorite USA-printed books from your local bookstore!

Alan Stubbs would have no complaints if Cowdenbeath arrive at Easter Road tomorrow intent on parking the bus, and the head coach acknowledges the onus will be on Hibs to find a way to goal.
Stubbs expects the Blue Brazil to present a different set of problems for his side following matches against Rangers, Hearts and Falkirk which were far more open than the encounter he anticipates tomorrow.
But having seen his side score eight goals over the course of those three matches, the Hibs boss believes his side have the armoury to take all three points and get back on track following the disappointment of last weekend's draw with the Bairns in which the Capital club threw away a 3-1 lead.
In doing so, Hibs passed up the opportunity to widen the gap on both Falkirk and Queen of the South, the two clubs immediately below them in the battle for play-off places, but they have another chance tomorrow, when those teams clash at Falkirk Stadium.
Cowdenbeath, however, are in their own fight to avoid being dragged into the relegation play-off spot currently occupied by Alloa Athletic who travel to basement outfit Livingston, making anything they can get from their trip to Edinburgh as something of a bonus.
Aware that Jimmy Nicholl's side have pushed his players close twice already this season, head coach Stubbs said: "It will be a really difficult game. I'm sure they will come and make it really difficult for us as is their right. So we need to be clever, bright, move the ball quickly and keep creating chances which at this moment is the pleasing aspect of our play.
"As long as we are creating chances I am happy and the strikers will be happy, that's what they feed on and both Jason Cummings and Martin Boyle looked a real threat against Falkirk. They combined well and looked to stretch the game with the pace Martin gives us."
Although disappointed with the manner in which points were dropped against Falkirk, Stubbs believes that will prove to be no more than a blip, the first time this season Hibs have conceded three goals in a league match.
He said: "In general we have been very good over the last three months, we haven't given much away so to concede three was a surprise. Yes, we could have gone six points clear of Falkirk but they didn't gain any ground on us and that's what it is about at this time of the season, keeping your rivals away from you as much as you can.
"One result doesn't mean there's anything wrong, it's just a case of refocusing and everyone getting back on it again."
Meanwhile, Sir Tom Farmer, who owns a 98 per cent stake in Hibs through his company HFC Holdings, has acknowledged that fans deserve more of a say in the running of their club.
Speaking for the first time after the launch of a scheme to allow supporters to buy a controlling stake, he said: "I have been involved with Hibs for over 20 years now and there are already 1700 shareholders that make up the club. Twenty-odd years ago, this is the way I thought we would go, which is why we encouraged the 1700 shareholders, and after such a long period it is maybe coming to a sort of fruition."

Featuring the beautiful Kinga Rajzak, H&M finally released a few days ago the Spring 2012 Lookbook. High on colorful designs, with both soft and strong shapes, the H&M collection promotes the minimal chic with some really pretty pieces including dresses, jackets, tailored suits and trousers.
After eagerly going through the looks, I found myself liking a small part of this collection, maybe because I was expecting something more feminine, more delicate, more "Springy" . There's still time to change my mind. Below are some of my choices :
Let me know what you think of H&M's Spring 2012 collection 😉
