One symbol, perhaps above all others, holds a crucial significance for everyone in search of wholeness: the well. From the terrestrial world it leads down into darkness, to the treasure of pure feminine consciousness. We are each blessed with our own well, and from this source of salvation and eternal life, teaches Marion Woodman, we must "drink or die."
In Sitting by the Well, this acclaimed Jungian analyst and author uses dreams, symbols, and body imagery to reach into the shadows of the unconscious mind and cast light on our everyday lives. Here is a poetic culmination of Woodman's many years of work with the psychological impact of patriarchy on men's and women's lives—from distorted body image and addiction, to sexual trauma and relationships, to our ultimate connection with the Great Mother (matter) and Great Father (spirit).
Rare Lectures Collected for the First Time
On six archival recordings—each one digitally remastered for maximum clarity and comprehension—Marion Woodman unravels Carl Jung's core teachings about archetypes and the unconscious, and analyzes how dreams and metaphors provide powerful healing tools for the psyche. You will hear the evolution of Woodman's theories throughout the past decade, while vividly sharing her insights into what we each must do to open to spirit and find meaning in our suffering. For all of us interested in what Woodman calls "the language of our instincts," Sitting by the Well is a one-of-a-kind guide for learning it.
In her practice, Woodman has encountered many people who feel lost and out of touch with their bodies and their spirits. Where is the energy and imagery we need for nourishment? Join Marion Woodman and find your way to a wellspring for deeper guidance with Sitting by the Well.

Review for Sitting by the Well Review by Linda K
I learned so much from listening to these lectures. In fact, I listened twice. This came at just the right time in my own life, where I'm spending more and more time sitting by the well. (Posted on January 23, 2013)

Deep, daring, inspiring.
A must for every woman seeker ( and man too). (Posted on June 20, 2012)
Review for Sitting by the Well Review by ENID SEFCOVIC
This appears to be a collection of Woodman's lectures, some rather short, rather than a well-developed course. It has a recycled quality to it. Woodman is a leading Jungian theorist and analyst worth my time, nonetheless. (Posted on January 11, 2012)
Review for Sitting by the Well Review by Suzanne Bates
Marian Woodman helps us navigate both the intellectual as well as some experiential ways of knowing the feminine archetype. She provides incisive observations on the divine feminine gleaned from decades as a Jungian psychoanalyst. She uses a wide array of apt illustrations from world literature, myth, and folklore to help illustrate the path the feminine has used to emerge into our individual lives. She also presents meditations for us to reflect on what our gifts are from the feminine depths, gifts we might use to help heal our wounded culture. (Posted on February 17, 2010)

1) Sabina Joy takes pride in being the oldest, it's not that the ladies are hot, it's just because of the history it bears.
2) Munyu Road Junction on both sides of Luthuli, there are two, but one seems to be closed for repairs (when you look upstairs, you will see whores showing off their goodies.)
3) Aden – This is the worst. Women were thugs. Seems closed for now... watch that joint.
4) Amar Hotel: the place is packed to capacity. You will find prostitutes standing in the corridors making it hard for anyone to pass through. All of them caress you as you pass, if you don't watch out, they will steal from you.
5) Kitale Hotel (or something like that): prostitutes relax on the couch. Not aggressive as those on Amar. This is because there services do not need to be bargained for. You want it you speak.
6) On the last building on Luthuli street on the right, there are three,. That is where a lot of High school students prefer. Maybe because of the price. You will always catch them there during openings and closing of schools.
7) River Road: Good Hope. You would never fail to see City Councils vehicle packed outside the entrance. Used to be very busy, however after an inferno in the place, nowadays its dull. Few prostitutes prefer it.
8) Tahiti: Members call it the Nector Room. Prostitutes day and night both inside and outside.
9) Across River Road, the famous Kericho East. Always flocked with sex thirsty perverts. Any prostitute would dream to work here. The money is good. Whores are everywhere, in the bar, in every corridor of the building and some wait for you outside. You can't get it without the will-power. There are rooms inside and if you go in for an innocent one drink, you will definitely be served more than that. The place is so maintained, you won't even realize that it is a brothel.
10) The next street (Duruma Road), there is a bar called bar Jerry's. There are two more dingy lodgos there which are brothels.
11) Tea Room is probably the most famous after Sabina Joy. If you climb up the stairs to the reception, the only business there is selling out rooms and condoms. There are many prostitutes in the bar and in the rooms.
12) River Rood, Nyandarua Lodging. Prostitutes always loitering around there.
You will be surprised at the age of these prostitutes, some are as young as 17-year-olds. If a man passes there with no interest at them, they get angry. They can beat you up and steal from you.
13) When you move around those streets, there is Reke Marie, Modern Green (now closed), and a bar in Kamae Road.

Most people equate global warming with the atmosphere, but detailed mapping shows that many regions of the world's oceans are heating up, too. Data compiled and plotted by Marinexplore in Sunnyvale, Calif., show that sea-surface temperatures across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans are up by about 1 degree Celsius and as much as 2 degrees C in certain spots (see map below).
The warming is not uniform, and parts of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica have actually cooled. Temperature changes are more mixed in the Arctic Ocean, up as much as 2 degrees C in some spots and down by 2 degrees C in others.
Roberto De Almeida, an ocean data engineer at Marinexplore, also notes that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are heating up as deep as 700 meters and beyond. For graphics on that trend, see "Deep Heat Threatens Marine Life" in the April issue of Scientific American.

Thanks Mike, with the cap on or off?
Although I have not tried it, there was an article written lately by an engine builder who drills a 1/8 inch hole near the edged of his T-stats when new to help purge the air. I will be trying it soon.
I filled the block through the thermostat opening and put in a new thermostat since I was there. When I start the vehicle and it gets to operating temp, the engine starts to overheat and the radiator is cold. The radiator was gone through prior to restoring the car and along with the water pump has few miles on it. The thermostat is new? Could it be trapped air in the system? If so, what's the best way to bleed it?

To reproduce:
1. in command mode, type 'ra' to replace the character the cursor is on with 'a'
2. navigate to some other character

AIDS Trestment News
Kaposi's Sarcoma: New Topical Treatment Approvedby John S. James
Patients apply the gel twice a day. According to Ligand, the cost of a four to six month course of therapy is between $3,900 and $5,800. The main side effect is skin irritation where the drug is applied; in seven percent of the patients, skin toxicity was severe enough to cause them to withdraw from the trials.
Panretin capsules (for oral use) have been tested in phase II clinical trials for Kaposi's sarcoma, and tested for several cancers.
The active ingredient, alitretinoin (also known as 9-cis retinoic acid), is a derivative of vitamin A, and also a hormone naturally present in the body.
Results of two trials involving 402 patients were presented at the recent Retroviruses conference.1
References1. Conant, M. Topical alitretinoin gel as treatment for cutaneous lesions of patients with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma: Results of two multicenter, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials. 6th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections, Chicago, January 31 - February 4, 1999 [abstract #205].
Retroviruses Conference: Finding Information on the Web
by John S. James and Tadd Tobias
Non-Technical Overview for Patients (and Medical Professionals)
Go to http://www.projinf.org, and select 'Report from Retrovirus Conference'. Select "Slides 1-10," "Slides 11-20," etc. to hear the audio while the correct slides are automatically displayed. The slides can also be viewed separately on this site, but they are most useful with the spoken presentation.
Searching the Abstracts for a Particular Drug, Condition, Other Topic, or Author
Go to the official conference site, http://www.retroconference.org, and select 'Conference Abstracts'. Click on the blank line, type the word you are looking for, and click 'Search'.
Hint on searching the official conference abstracts: If you are searching for an author, always enter the last name with an asterisk after it. The asterisk means to look for any words beginning with the letters, no matter what comes later. The asterisk is necessary (at this time) because superscripts are often used to identify an author's institution, and the sequence number used is included in the index as part of the author's name. We have reported this problem to the organizations maintaining the site, and it may be corrected in the future.
Hearing Conference Lectures; Viewing Posters
The official conference site has provided audio of some of the major lectures given at the conference; go to http://www.retroconference.org and select 'Hear the Lectures' or 'Hear the Symposia'. The audio quality is usually excellent, and the slides being discussed, if any, appear automatically on the screen.
The conference also photographed posters, and will put some of them on the site, with presenters' permission. None are online at the time of this writing, so we do not know how well the information will transmit. (Posters not designed for the Web can be hard to read, especially if they use widely varying sizes of type.)
Much of the new information at the conference was presented in "slide sessions" -- which are different from the "lectures" and "symposia" (some of which also used slides). No "slide sessions" are on the Web at this time, although some were recorded for Web transmission.
Sometimes there will be difficulties setting up one's computer system to receive the audio transmissions.
Finding Mainstream News Reports of Treatment Developments
The most complete source for mainstream news media reports about AIDS, including treatments, is AEGIS (AIDS Education Global Information System), http://www.aegis.com, which now has about 700,000 searchable articles and abstracts. Many of these items are wire service or other news reports; others are technical abstracts, for example new items being added to AIDSLINE.
At the site, select 'Search', and follow the instructions provided.
There is no way to restrict searches to reports from a particular conference.
Finding Expert Commentary and Discussion on a Topic
This site requires a one-time registration process, which takes about 5 minutes and is free; you need to make up a user name and password and save them for later use if needed. (Your computer can save this information and log you on automatically in the future; but save your name and password anyway, in case you want to use the site from a different computer.)
Two different searches are provided: either a search of the Retroviruses conference summaries only, or of the entire Medscape site.
To search the Retroviruses summaries, select 'Conference Summaries' under HIV/AIDS Resources', then select 'The 6th Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections'. About two thirds of the way down the page, under 'Conference Summaries Search', enter the word or words you are looking for.
Hint: The summaries retrieved are often quite long. To avoid having to skim through one when you are looking for a particular topic only, use the search function in your browser (usually under the Edit menu) to find a drug name or other important word you are looking for. This is a local search which does not involve the Internet, but only looks through the page which is showing on your screen. A few browsers do not have this local search function (including the stripped-down Internet Explorer provided with the new Windows CE portable machines).
You can also use the extended search box which appears at the bottom of most Medscape pages; it allows a free search on AIDSLINE, MEDLINE, or other databases, as well as the Medscape site.
You can enter a date range when searching the Medscape site, but only after having done a search, when you are offered an opportunity to refine it. Check that the starting date is '0' (meaning now), unless you want to retrieve older articles only.
In addition to news coverage from Reuters (organized by day or by topic), this site features three perspective reports written by JAMA correspondents, and two extensive expert essays: "Basic Science," by Alan Landay, Ph.D., and "Opportunistic Infections" by William Powderly, M.D.
This site has over 70 synopses, about one paragraph each in length. Topics include new antiretroviral agents, viral resistance and virologic failure, immunology, cost-effective HIV care, and metabolic consequences of protease inhibitors.
Seven technical reports (as of February 17) cover aspects of antiretroviral therapy, origin of HIV-1, and review and summary of the late-breaker session.
At press time 15 different reports were available in English and French. They focus on clinical issues such as discontinuing PCP prophylaxis, "protease sparing" combinations, and nevirapine-induced methadone withdrawal.
Short summaries written by physicians (at press time, 16 reports) cover mainly poster discussion sessions, which are oral presentations of a few related abstracts; topics include treatment naive patients, heavily pre-treated patients, immunology and pathogenesis, adherence, resistance testing, metabolic complications, and antiretroviral agents.
Currently includes over 10 summaries, with conference news, late-breaker sessions, combination therapies, Kaposi's sarcoma treatment advances, lipodystrophy, immune reconstitution, perinatal transmission, and antiretroviral strategies.
Strategy Trials: The Answer?by John S. James
But there was also widespread disappointment at the paucity of practical treatment information -- despite the promising advances in research, especially immunology. Somehow the piles of faxes, press releases, and other promotional materials -- the 12-week, 24-week, or 48-week data, seldom comparable between trials and usually highlighted to promote one drug, or one company's drugs -- do not add up to an intelligent approach to treating patients.
Doctors and patients have many treatment options today, but little help with the questions of which treatment strategies are best -- which choices now will prove to have been the most beneficial, not only in 12 weeks or 48 weeks, but years later, even after the initial treatment choice may have failed or otherwise been replaced with different treatments.
For several years there has been a growing call for "strategy trials" to answer just these questions -- but in practice, few of them are happening. Much of the fault is with the pharmaceutical companies, which are mainly interested in trials likely to promote their products. Government-funded trials help to fill the gap, but often there is difficulty getting assistance from the companies. And public funding can go only so far in doing the drug development which is supposed to be the responsibility of private companies.
Another important difficulty with strategy trials is more inherent, harder to solve with any amount of altruism. Typically these trials will randomly assign patients to a certain starting drug regimen; and later, if and when that regimen fails, will assign them in some protocol-defined way to a second regimen. The goal is to learn which of two or more treatment strategies is best -- considering not only the initial drug combination, but also what happens if that combination later needs to be replaced.
Unfortunately it is likely to take much longer to get useful information from such a strategy trial, than from one which tests only a starting regimen, because volunteers must fail one treatment and then have enough experience with the second to test how well it is working for them. Unless there are enough volunteers with substantial experience with the second regimen to allow statistically reliable conclusions about it, the whole scientific point of including it would be lost. And researchers are usually reluctant to release much preliminary information while a trial is ongoing, lest the final results be affected in unpredictable ways. Including all the other delays, such as approvals and recruiting, years are likely to elapse between a strategy trial's design and its results; and with the speed of AIDS treatment development today, the whole picture is likely to have changed greatly by that time, which can easily make the trial results largely irrelevant to the most important issues which doctors and patients will need to address. This has already happened again and again with trials designed years before their results were released; strategy trials are even more vulnerable, both because they usually take longer, and because their protocols are more complex and therefore more vulnerable to a changing medical environment.
One way to approach these problems is to step back from the ideology that medicine should be guided only by scientific trials, and acknowledge that clinical experience and judgment is still as important as clinical trials in making practical treatment decisions, and will probably remain so for the foreseeable future. Then we can more systematically address the issues of how to improve data collection to better support clinical experience. Steps in the right direction include better followup of trials, and also large databases to more systematically collect outcome information from non-randomized medical care (such as the CHORUS project of Glaxo Wellcome, or the community-initiated HIV Treatment Data Project).
A better understanding of clinical trials -- including their limitations, and their real-world role in medical decision making -- could lead to better trials, and also to more attention on improving the collection and use of non-randomized data to support clinical practice.
San Francisco: New HMO Problems Threaten Access to Careby John S. James
This situation occurred because two HMOs, HealthNet and Blue Shield, will not renew their contract with BayCare, a relatively small IPA (independent practice association) in San Francisco. The patients affected are those with HealthNet or Blue Shield coverage, who are seeing physicians who are dependent on BayCare and cannot move their patients to another IPA. (At this time physicians cannot join the dominant IPA, Brown & Toland Medical Group, because of action against Brown & Toland by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.)
William Owen, M.D., told AIDS Treatment News, "My office has been inundated by calls from patients who were alarmed when they received the rather curt letter from Blue Shield HMO informing them that, because BayCare was dropped as an independent practice association (IPA) by Blue Shield HMO, and because their physician (Dr. Owen) is not a member of another IPA that has a Blue Shield HMO contract, the patient would be required to select a new M.D. by February 26. This letter, unfortunately, strikes at the heart of many provider-patient relationships that have been nurtured over many years...
"I have requested that Blue Shield HMO patients file protests with the HMO, and send copies of their letters to the Department of Corporations (which regulates HMOs in the State of California), Assemblywoman Carole Migden (who has had a long-standing interest in lesbian and gay health issues, including treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS, and has dealt with earlier problems with access by patients to their long-term providers through BayCare Medical Group), to President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors Tom Ammiano, and to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which is needlessly preventing a dozen or so former Davies Medical Center physicians from joining Brown & Toland Medical Group (an organization that consists of over 1,000 physicians) on the grounds that this addition of a minuscule number of providers would somehow constitute a 'restraint of trade'."
Dr. Owen noted that the other HMO, HealthNet, has worked out a temporary arrangement until it negotiates a contract with another IPA with which the physicians are affiliated.
For more information, see "Feud Erupts Between HMOs, Doctors' Group," San Francisco Chronicle February 11, 1999; also see "New Healthcare Economics Threaten HIV Specialization, Patient Choice, & Quality Care," AIDS Treatment News #311, January 22, 1999.
Tuberculosis Control: Many Cases Found Transmitted Despite Negative Result on Standard Testby John S. James
The findings "suggest that while the use of the sputum smear does identify the most infectious patients, those with negative smears should not be considered non-infectious, particularly to highly susceptible people such as those infected with HIV," said Peter M. Small, M.D., one of the researchers, who is Assistant Professor of Medicine at Stanford Medical Center.
The AFB smear is still useful because it detects those who are most infectious.
This new information could improve tuberculosis control around the world, if it is applied. A major problem is that more sensitive tests, such as sputum cultures, are usually too expensive for use in developing countries. The researchers said that it is imperative that a more sensitive but affordable test be developed quickly. "It is a travesty that in most parts of the world, a disease which kills three million people a year is still diagnosed with a 100-year-old test," said Dr. Small.

Keep Your Medicare In Force As You Go Back to Work
(What To Do And When To Do It)
by Thomas P. McCormack
The following are suggestions to keep your Medicare, as you transition to the workplace.
1. You get twelve months (a nine month Trial Work Period, followed by a three month Grace Period) of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) checks when your adjusted gross earnings total over $200 monthly. Medicare Part A is "free" and Medicare Part B's premium of $45.50 gets deducted out of your SSDI check.
2. Once the twelve months have passed, visit the Social Security office -- or write them by certified mail -- to inform the agency that the SSDI checks should be stopped, but that you want the Medicare to continue! If you don't, the checks will continue and you may be tempted to spend them. However, spending them is fraud under the Social Security statute. Ask for a written confirmation that they've continued your Medicare.
3. Whether or not SSA responds to your request for continued Medicare, you must now pay your Part B premium of $45.50 monthly (remember, the SSDI check from which it was deducted has now stopped -- or if the checks haven't yet stopped, you're returning them, via certified mail). If you can afford to pay your premium, send a check for $45.50 payable to the U.S. Treasurer, with your Medicare card number, and an explanation that your SSDI has ended, to: Medicare Premium Collection Center, P.O. Box 371384M, Pittsburgh, PA 15250.
4. If you can't afford to pay the Medicare Part B premium, apply at the Welfare office (not SSA) for the QMB, SLIMB, and/or QI(I) programs. [Note: QMB means Qualified Medicare Beneficiary; SLIMB means Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary; and QI(I) means Qualified Individual (I), where the 'I' is Roman numeral one.] If your gross monthly earnings are under $1,896 (or even higher, if you're paying out-of-pocket cash medical costs) welfare will pay the Part B premium for you; be aware that some welfare offices have not been properly trained in the eligibility rules for these programs. If you encounter difficulty applying to these programs, ask a supervisor to contact the state's head Medicaid eligibility policy staff in the state capital for guidance.
5. After 45 months back at work, "free" Part A Medicare coverage ends -- but you can still keep it if you want. Don't rely on Social Security to tell you this. Visit or send a certified letter to the SSA office stating that you want to stay enrolled in Medicare Part A, even though you've been back at work for 45 months. Ask for a written confirmation that they've continued your enrollment. Whether you hear from them or not, start sending your Medicare Part A premium to the Medicare Premium Collection Center, P.O. Box 371384M, Pittsburgh, PA 15251, giving your Medicare number and informing them that you've used your "free" forty-five months-back-at-work Part A coverage and are paying it yourself now. Make the check payable to the U.S. Treasurer.
6. Medicare Part A premiums are either $170 monthly, if you worked with FICA deductions taken from your paycheck for over 7.5 years during your working life; or $309, if you worked with FICA deductions taken from your paycheck for less than 7.5 years. You'll have to calculate how many quarters you worked to find out which of the two Part A premium rates apply to you. (You can try calling 800-772-1213 for assistance, but this question is probably too complex for a quick and easy answer over the telephone.)
7. If you can't afford to pay the Medicare Part A premium of either $170 or $309, apply for the Qualified Disabled Working Individual (QDWI) program at the welfare office (again, not SSA). If your monthly earnings are under $2768 (or even somewhat higher if you're paying out-of-pocket medical costs yourself) the state will pay the Part A premium for you. Again, most welfare staff know little about this program -- so you may need to ask a supervisor to contact the state Medicaid eligibility policy staff to properly process your case!
8. Medicare Part A and Part B premium amounts change each January 1. After about November 15 of each year, the staff at 800-772-1213 can tell you what the new premium amounts will be for the coming year.
9. The income levels for QMB, SLIMB, QI(I), and QDWI go up each year about April 1. Ask your local welfare office what the new income levels will be, or consult with a benefits advisor at the agency you rely on for casework help.
10. Keep your Medicare even if you're offered good health insurance in a new job! This is important because:
Medical Marijuana: Major AIDS Organizations Seek Legal Access
Dear General McCaffrey:
As advocates and care givers for people living with HIV disease and AIDS, we are writing to urge you to help break the bureaucratic logjam that is keeping a potentially life-saving medicine virtually inaccessible to thousands of people living with AIDS and other debilitating illnesses.
That medicine is marijuana. Marijuana's therapeutic uses are well documented in scientific literature. Recent scientific studies have confirmed what has been reported to us by hundreds of people living with HIV -- that marijuana can be safely used to reduce nausea and vomiting, stimulate appetite, and promote weight gain. Marijuana is widely recognized by physicians specializing in AIDS care as an important component of treatment for some patients who suffer from symptoms of advanced-stage HIV disease and the multiple-drug therapies used to manage HIV.
Today, thanks to one federally approved clinical study of marijuana for people living with AIDS, sixty-four patients receive marijuana legally from supplies grown by the federal government. However, thousands of Americans, many of them people living with HIV, use marijuana as a medicine illegally, putting themselves at risk of arrest and prosecution. Because the practice is illegal, most patients use marijuana without medical supervision. Marijuana's illegality means that patients cannot be sure of obtaining standardized products that are free of contaminants. People should not have to risk their health or jail to receive needed medical care.
For this reason, thirty-five state legislatures have passed laws supporting the use of marijuana as a medicine. In addition, voters in six states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) and the District of Columbia have recently approved ballot measures legalizing the medical use of marijuana within their borders -- nearly one in five Americans lives in a state whose voters have approved medical marijuana. Now, the nation is looking to the federal government to begin to show compassion and flexibility on this issue.
You may be aware that the standard Food and Drug Administration approval process has been streamlined for several medications important to people living with HIV disease and AIDS. Drugs shown to fall within an acceptable standard of safety have been made available to patients before completion of all scientific trials proving effectiveness. This special procedure has helped thousands of patients to obtain life-extending benefits from new medications, and has contributed directly to building the science base for such new drugs.
Our request is simple. Just as other promising AIDS medications have been made available prior to final FDA approval, so too should marijuana, when recommended by a physician, be made available to patients who choose to use it.
There is not much question about the relative safety of marijuana -- it has been heavily studied around the world. These studies have revealed an important fact: there is no lethal dose of marijuana. Besides this finding, occasional marijuana smoking under controlled circumstances has not been proved to be dangerous. In sum, the known risks of marijuana are clearly within a range of acceptability sufficient to allow individual physicians and patients to monitor its use, and its results. Under these circumstances, making marijuana immediately available on a quasi-experimental basis to people living with AIDS, when their physicians request it, is a moderate step that can add to the federal government's responsiveness to the epidemic.
We appeal to you, General McCaffrey, because you are in a unique position to provide leadership on this issue. Science and compassion should dictate our nation's policy regarding medical treatment. However, politics has stood in the way of the approval of marijuana as a legal medication, and the full development of a science base leading to FDA approval could still be years away. We call upon you to be a part of the political solution. We ask that you publicly encourage your colleagues in the administration to respond positively to the scientific and public support for making marijuana medically available.

It hasn't been downloaded nearly as much, but the $US80 million in revenues that Minecraft has delivered to Mojang compares well to the $US100 million its Scandinavian neighbours Rovio have pulled in from Angry Birds. And that figure looks to get larger once the game arrives on Xbox Live Arcade in May.
The revenue figure comes since Minecraft launched in October 2010, going by filings Mojang made in Sweden. Its earnings over that span amounted to $US13.5 million.
That's according to a profile written up in the Financial Times, which also revealed Mojang has made roughly $US1 million from licensing Minecraft to other products, like T-shirts and toys. Mojang's chief executive told the Financial Times they've turned down more offers than they've accepted.
"We've been approached by a number of high-profile Hollywood producers and asked to do TV shows," Mr Manneh says. "We may do that. It's hard when you don't have any experience and someone comes to throw these ideas around. We have so much to focus on with just the game development and growing the business. But if the right idea comes along and the right people that we'd want to work with, we'd say why not?"

Those would be, in no particular order, Nebraska football, Warren Buffett and the College World Series.
The first two are a product of fanaticism and celebrity association, respectively. But the third, the College World Series, is a true product of civic pride, even among those citizens who might not have more than a passing interest or knowledge in the sport of baseball.
The irony tonight, at the opening game at TD Ameritrade Park in downtown Omaha, is that Omaha fought tooth and nail for what they saw as the abandonment of venerable old Rosenblatt Stadium. They still haven't fully embraced their new "diamond", in both senses of the word.
And make no mistake. Add 16-18K worth of seats in the upper tier and in the outfield and this ballpark isn't materially different from small downtown ballparks in big league cities such as Minneapolis, Cincinnati or Pittsburgh. It has countless Major League amenities, from a crystal clear video board to spacious dugouts and locker rooms to the ring of luxury suites. Except perhaps that it smells like a new house or car, with ushers holding maps to direct people to places they've never been themselves. Local media has complained that they didn't even have access to it until earlier this week. But it's first class, gorgeous and "only" cost $131 million.
Much of the hesitance is simply because Omaha is a fiscally conservative community that is slow to change if they either don't understand the reason for change or have to pay for it. Buffett has made his tens of billions on much the same principal. The city's investment in the Qwest Center in the last decade, a 17,000 seat facility, convention center and hotel just beyond the centerfield fence, was similarly fought but has proved to be a huge asset for the community.
What was really surprising about Omaha's reluctance to embrace TD Ameritrade (I apologize, I still refer to it as "New Rosenblatt" frequently) is the collective naiveté about the NCAA and their needs for a new modern ballpark.
Rosenblatt originally was built in 1947 as a minor league park for the then Class A Omaha Cardinals and acquired its renowned name in 1964 to recognize Omaha mayor Johnny Rosenblatt, who was instrumental in bringing the CWS to the city. It underwent almost continuous renovation over the years but was sorely outdated despite that. There were virtually no suites, concession areas were cramped under the stands and parking problems in the old blue collar neighborhood around the stadium were legendary. And those issues were just the ones at the surface.
The NCAA, which is a business in much the same way that Major League Baseball, the NFL or the NBA are except without constant labor issues, made it clear to the Omaha civic leaders that they needed a new modern ballpark. Lacking that, Indianapolis or Oklahoma City would be happy to become the new host.
Omaha's mayor at the time, Mike Fahey (the stadium's address is 1200 Mike Fahey Street), wasn't an especially popular leader at the time but he was able, with the business leaders in the community, to convince the populace to support building a new stadium and retaining the College World Series. It's hard to believe but it was definitely an uphill battle to get the support and funding. Omaha as a whole didn't understand the fundamental business aspect; it was the NCAA's decision, not the city's, as to where to hold the event.
There is no question, though, that Fahey and his fellow politicians and businessmen made the right decision. Omaha is synonymous with the College World Series, as Cooperstown is with the Baseball Hall of Fame. Both would have lost pride and luster without each other.
Yes, there was a game. Actually, a very important game that had implications not only in the local baseball community but in the big picture of college baseball as well.
Nebraska emerged with a hard fought 2-1 victory.
Nebraska and Creighton, which are about 55 miles apart along I-80, deserve credit for playing each other three times a year when many natural in-state rivals avoid each other in every sport. Part of this is practical, as both teams need quality out of league opponents for their RPI ranking, something that is difficult for a northern program. The series is always highly competitive and has drawn huge crowds in the past to Rosenblatt, something that is sure to continue at TD Ameritrade. Nebraska won the first meeting this year on April 5, 8-5.
The game officially was a sellout hours after tickets were made available last month, in part due to a mass giveaway to all the workers who helped build the stadium. Actual attendance was 22,197, with approximately 4,200 no-shows in the brisk 40 degree weather. That gave the Creighton-Nebraska series four of the top 20 regular season attendance marks in NCAA baseball history.
Creighton is in the midst of an outstanding season with a 26-7 record going into the game and an RPI ranking of 38. Nebraska is more talented than it has been over the past couple of years but is young and had a 24-14 record with an RPI of 76. A win would have been a big boost for Creighton as it builds a resume as a potential at large team for the NCAA tournament should it not win the Missouri Valley tournament. Nebraska, which still hasn't played Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma in Big 12 play, has an uphill road to post season play and couldn't afford to lose a midweek game.
The two teams each took a different approach with their pitching staffs, with Creighton electing the wholestaff method, throwing eight different pitchers, including ace starters LHP Ty Blach and RHP Jonas Dufek (a combined 12-0 this year) an inning apiece to start the game. Nebraska countered with their top two "young prospect" pitchers, sophomore RHP Tom Lemke and freshman LHP Logan Ehlers.
The star of the game was unquestionably Ehlers, who threw 5 1/3 shutout innings of relief to get his first collegiate win in only his second appearance. His performance was highly ironic in the NCAA's marque baseball stadium, as the Nebraska City, Neb., native was controversially declared ineligible by the NCAA for the first 60 percent of the season.
The game hinged on one at bat in the bottom of the 8th inning when Ehlers faced star Creighton cleanup hitter Trevor Adams (.400-10-44, 18 game hitting streak) with two outs and the bases loaded. With Nebraska head coach Mike Anderson pumping his fists in encouragement from the top step of the dugout instead of removing his prize freshman, Ehlers struck out Adams on two nasty change ups to end the threat.
I've seen Ehlers pitch numerous times since early in his junior high school season and had never seen him throw a change up, so his doubling up at the key point of the game with a new pitch was a revelation and speaks highly of Ehlers aptitude and of the Cornhusker coaching staff.
TD Ameritrade, which is paying a reported $750,000/year for the naming rights to the ballpark, has another close tie to baseball. The Ricketts family, which founded the company in Omaha, are the new owners of the Chicago Cubs……One of the highlights of the game was not the RBI Girls, the Creighton cheerleaders who performed on top of the home third base dugout between innings. At least not for a baseball purist……Creighton's three errors, two of which made Nebraska's runs unearned, are highly uncharacteristic. The Blue Jays are annually one of the nation's top defensive teams and had committed only 26 errors (.980 fielding %) coming into the game as compared to 56 for their opponents. Nebraska, and particularly SS Chad Christensen, were the superior defensive team this game……Everything has a price. Many of the seats is the perhaps overly spacious press box were sold, undoubtedly to boosters, creating far more noise and an unusual "cheering in the press box" atmosphere…… Cameramen and technical staff could be heard frequently remarking in the press box "Boy, ESPN is going to love this place!"

One of the more thrilling nights in recent Major League Baseball history took place Wednesday night.
Two wild card spots were determined in riveting contests that showcased Tampa Bay and St. Louis coming from far behind in the standings to crush Boston and Atlanta. And now the playoffs begin. But none of the five California franchises qualified for the postseason.
The Dodgers and Angels had especially frustrating seasons. What is wrong with local baseball and how can it be fixed?
The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of sports most storied organizations. No team has really ever had more dedicated fans. Great grass roots marketing, Vin Scully's voice and multiple pennants and World Series victories meant that "going to a Dodger game," notwithstanding the opponent, pitcher or standings became a Southern California tradition that Peter O'Malley and his family carefully nurtured.
Drawing three million-plus fans was the norm. For years they had a unique model that featured a deep farm system that produced many Rookie of the Year Awards that translated into long-term set lineups.
There was no need to buy a scorecard to identify Maury Wills, Jim Gilliam, Tommy and Willy Davis. They were followed by Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Bill Russell, Davey Lopes and Dusty Baker. The pitching was exceptional, from Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale, to Fernando Valenzuela and Bob Welch. Their relievers were dominant: Phil Regan, Ron Perranoski, Mike Marshall and Eric Gagne. But then FOX bought the team and traded catcher Mike Piazza and the disintegration began.
Frank McCourt should have been rejected by Major League Baseball in his bid to replace FOX. Most contemporary franchise owners have billion-dollar assets from their primary businesses and are willing to put their own funds into the club to enhance the product.
I talked about McCourt in a column I wrote earlier this season. He has used the team as a piggy bank for his own lavish lifestyle. Attendance has dropped dramatically at Dodger Stadium, where fans have become worried about their safety.
Still with all the mayhem and negativity surrounding McCourt it has done little to detract from the Cy Young-type performance of Clayton Kershaw and the MVP-like season for Matt Kemp. I don't believe the Dodgers will ever be able to compete with the market and retain the services of these two young, attractive superstars or Andre Ethier, who had an injury riddled subpar season dim his steady growth.
The Angels' struggle to make the playoffs is not a function of irresponsible ownership. Arte Moreno has been a model of stalwart support and runs a fan-friendly business.
Their high payroll makes them a top-tier spender.
They have been the victim of some disastrous talent evaluation and bad deals by now former general manager Tony Reagins. They were forced to devote $23 million this season to two players, Scott Kazmir and Gary Matthews Jr, who did not play this year.
The signing of Vernon Wells, who struggled to hit .200 even with some late season power, drained another $21 million this season with another couple guaranteed seasons. This means that a third of the payroll went to non-productive players.
The emergence of young players Peter Bourjous, Mark Trumbo and Mike Trout gave them their only payroll solace. The inconsistent offensive production and losses in key games to weaker opponents destroyed the ability to catch Texas or Tampa Bay.
The Angels' nemesis had been Boston. Now it's Texas, Oakland and Seattle, all division opponents.
The Angels have two aces in young superstar Jered Weaver and Dan Haren, and a serviceable third starter in Erwin Santana, but that doesn't make up for the lack of clutch hitting. Losing potential MVP Kendry Morales for the past two seasons has been a crippling blow.
So it is a tale of two owners: one who can only continue to be destructive to the Dodgers' heritage with his greed and lack of resources. The other owner has all the right attributes, but needs better veteran talent assessment input.

You go, Rachel
My new fave for a smart, liberal take on the day's politics is Rachel Maddow, MSNBC's latest addition to the nightly lineup. She's
taking off, with a fast-paced hour full of attitude–but without the impossible ego that marks most of her cable colleagues.
Debriefing Senators, reporters (Michael Isikoff), comedians (Bill Mahr), and Pat Buchanan (her political opposite whom she calls her "fake uncle"), and injecting her own sharply written editorial commentary, she's on a roll. The ratings prove it: last night Maddow drew 1.8 million total viewers compared to Keith Olbermann's 1.6 million.
The more she relaxes and allows her humor to shine, the better she gets.

Stent removal cystoscopy
I am due to have a ureteroscopy to remove a 5mm stone in the bottom end of the right ureter. It is only one stone. Is it essential to stent in the first place, after removal? All this will be performed under general anaesthetic. However, if I require a stent removing in 2 weeks have been told, this is done by local anaestheic and cystoscopy. I assume they are using stents without the thread attached. Can I ask them to use the thread one? Is it painful having a cystoscopy without general? I am anxious about all this?
The need for a stent after ureteroscopy would really depend on the amount of obstruction and swelling to the ureter that is being caused by the 5 mm stone. This would be known only during the surgery. If the stone is possible to be removed easily and does not appear to be causing swelling at the site of ureteral obstruction (as noted by ur urologist during the surgery), then it is often possible to do the surgery without the need for a stent. The stent basically helps with the healing of the area where the stone is lodged and also prevents any further ureteral obstruction that might occur due to the swelling of the inner wall of the ureter. The stent also helps with the passage of small stone fragments that might result from fragmentation of the original stone during the ureteroscopy.
The additional point to know is that sometimes it might not be possible to insert an instrument (ureteroscope) easily into the ureter if the ureteral lumen is narrow. In this case the stent might need to be inserted during the first procedure (without treating the stone at that time). This stent would then cause the ureter to dilate which would make subsequent ureteroscopy (after a few weeks) easier and more likely to be successful.
The procedure to remove the stent can be performed under local anesthesia with a flexible instrument (cystoscope). The procedure is usually associated with minimal discomfort which most patients are able to tolerate without much problem. It is possible to leave a string attached to the lower end of the stent with the stent coming out through the penis. The urologist can then remove the stent by pulling on the string. It is possible that your urologist might not be leaving the string since they are planning to keep the stent in for about 2 weeks. This is often a surgeon preference and is variable between different urologists but you could discuss this option with him/her further.

OTTAWA — Thanks to the emerald ash borer, Ottawa is turning both less and more green at the same time.
The nasty insect, believed to have arrived in North America 20 years ago in wooden packaging material from eastern Asia, kills 100 per cent of the ash trees it invades unless the trees are inoculated every two years with a systemic insecticide. Each injection costs $150-$300. City of Ottawa crews have already cut down hundreds of trees in a rearguard effort to slow the spread of the invasion. Over the next 10 to 15 years, Ottawa is expected to lose about one quarter of our tree cover as the ashes die.
All of which will make the city a lot less green, at least in the summer.
But Ken and Kosta McKay are turning that arboreal disaster into a success story that blends environmental smarts with fine design.
The two brothers, partners in Furniture Affairs on Auriga Drive (www.furnitureaffairs.ca), are using ash salvaged from a cull of city trees to produce custom-made, eco-friendly furniture for both the residential and commercial markets.
Removing the outer inch from a cut, infected tree eliminates the insects and their larvae, leaving wood that's safe for reuse. Otherwise, the wood winds up as mulch or biofuel. The infected material is ground into tiny pieces too small for the insects and then turned into compost.
"It makes beautiful furniture because it's hard, and every piece of ash looks different," says Ken. "It can be used for sofas, chairs, anything." A glowing, six-foot-long dining room table with sturdy squared legs ($2,000) bears witness to the glory of ash furniture. Thanks to its locally sourced, salvaged wood, formaldehyde-free glue and a non-toxic tung oil finish, the table's also a testament to how green furniture can be.
The backroom of the brothers' workshop is already piled high with a small mountain of rough-cut ash planks from a city cull. The McKays hope that pile will continue to grow as a nascent Ottawa organization with the working name of the Urban Wood Alliance seeks an agreement with the city to process and distribute culled ash.
The brothers also use reclaimed wood from the Ottawa River. They buy it from another Ottawa success story: Logs End, which for several years has been pulling perfectly preserved logs from the floor of the Ottawa River, where they've been sitting since the days when the rivers, not trucks, were used to transport pulp wood from lumber camps to mills.
The day the Citizen dropped by their cozy workshop, the brothers were hurrying to finish a sprawling, 24-foot conference table made from reclaimed yellow birch. Built in three sections, it was destined for the executive board room of the new Ottawa Convention Centre — a nice coup for the brothers, and one that accords with design elements in the Convention Centre that celebrate the city's lumbering history.
The pieces that come out of Furniture Affairs aren't cheap, but they are made to last. Scratch a solid wood table top and you can always sand and refinish it.
Furniture made of MDF and covered with a veneer may sell for less, but is difficult to repair and often not worth the time or money — easier to junk it and buy another one (do that two or three times, and you would have been better to buy a decent piece in the first place).
"Planned obsolescence and impulse shopping: that's what customers have to help stop," says the soft-spoken Kosta, who designs the furniture. He also plays in a rock 'n' roll band by night while his older, married brother usually spends evenings with his growing family.
Ken, who rarely holds still for more than a few seconds, jumps in: "We're trying to get everyone on a new business model of taking more care when they produce things and finding out where the raw materials come from … We can't keep shipping wood to China to have cheap furniture made (there) and then having it shipped back here for distribution all over the place."
The brothers' green manufacturing mandate means they source as much as they can from within a 500-kilometre area around Ottawa. That gives business to local suppliers and helps cut greenhouse gases associated with transportation.
At 36, Kosta has long been an advocate of greener and better quality furniture. Before teaming up with his brother a few years back, he worked for upholstery and other companies. "I saw how badly things were being manufactured. I tried to convince them to change, but they didn't care."
Ken, 41, ran a number of startup firms before deciding that he, too, belonged in the furniture business. In 2008, he joined forces with his brother to establish Furniture Affairs.
Their father, also named Ken, is a veteran of the furniture business and now works with his sons. The company contracts out some aspects of production but hopes to eventually hire its own staff.
As a custom manufacturer, Furniture Affairs doesn't keep much in stock. One piece that is present when we stop by is a Solo Chair. High-backed and deep-seated, the easy chair features arms made of ash and river-reclaimed birch, a solid ash frame, natural jute seat webbing, soy-based foam, and a non-PVC vinyl covering. It's priced at $1,600 and comes with a 20-year warranty.
The brothers also repair, reupholster and recycle used furniture. Buy an item from them, for example, and they'll remove your old piece for reconditioning and reuse, tear it down and recycle the components, or donate it to an organization like Habitat for Humanity's Restore.
In an age of mass consumption and short-term thinking, buying custom green furniture that can be passed on to your grandchildren is at once a refreshingly new and reassuringly old-fashioned idea.
Says Ken: "It's old school with a new twist."
Furniture Affairs does not have a showroom. For information, call 613-680-2139 or visit www.furnitureaffairs.ca.

Mustang MonthlyNews & Views
Hoof Beats March 2013 - Editor's Letter
There are many great things about our Mustang hobby and industry, both of which have grown out of the Mustang's everlasting endearment to owners. The social interaction of clubs and shows ranks high on the list, as does the satisfaction of being able to improve your Mustang through restoration efforts or by adding something as simple as a cold-air induction kit to a late-model. With the Mustang, the ownership lifestyle stretches way beyond the driving experience.
This month's cover story illustrates one of our hobby's best attributes. Thanks to our favorite car's undying popularity and desirability, Mustangs frequently attract attention for good causes, like the Mustang Dream Giveaway that will raise funds this year for the Carroll Shelby Foundation, the Henry Ford Health System, Disabled America Veterans, and the Paralyzed Veterans of America Outdoor Recreation Heritage Fund. Plus, some lucky person will drive away with a pair of beautiful Shelby GT 500s, old and new. I was fortunate to be part of the key presentation for a '69 and '12 Boss 302s during the 2011 Mustang Memories show in Dearborn. And while you couldn't smack the grin off the face of the winner, Thomas Barker, the thought of all the benefits resulting from the charitable donations gave me good vibes as well.
The Dream Giveaway is obviously the most visible of the charitable organizations (CEO Mark Breiner told me that they print 15 million brochures!), but all I have to do is glance through our events listing to see that there are plenty of other fund-raising activities throughout our hobby. Proceeds from this year's North Coast Mustang Club of Ohio's show goes to the Boys and Girls Club of Lorain County. In south Florida, the Children's Diagnostic and Treatment Center will benefit from the profits collected during the Fort Lauderdale Mustang Club's show at Maroone Ford. Duke Clancy with the Mustang Club of West Central Florida always makes sure that their annual show helps TideWell Hospice and Southeastern Guide Dogs. Even animals benefit from Mustang owner generosity.
Then there are more personal reasons why people and organizations get involved with Mustangs to raise money. When my longtime neighbor and good friend Mary Jean Wesche, now editor of the Mustang Club of America's Mustang Times, discovered that both of her daughters had breast cancer, she felt helpless until she hit on the idea to build a Mustang to raffle, with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. A number of companies provided parts, including a '67-'68 fastback body shell from Dynacorn and an engine from Ford Racing, while Jeff and Julie Yergovich from R&A Motorsports provided the skill and labor. You may have seen Julie and Mary Jean as they traversed the country on numerous occasions to display the car and accept donations at shows.
There are many other examples. As mentioned in the January Pony Tales, the Mustangs of East Texas club has embarked on another "Pay It Forward" project to assist the East Texas Crisis Center. Back in December, we featured the SEMA Businesswomen's Network's "Powered by Women" '13 Mustang GT, which will be auctioned to benefit yet another type of good cause, the SEMA Memorial Scholarship Fund that helps young people pursue a career in the automotive aftermarket industry. And just the other day, I was contacted by Tim Urban from Alternative Auto Performance here in Tampa. On his own, he's building a Fox-body Mustang to help military families.
It's good to be affiliated with a hobby that benefits so many good causes.

I love the cartoon depicted below:
If you chuckled, then read on!
First off, let me say that this cartoon has been with me throughout my academic, co-op and professional career and it is currently posted on my whiteboard at Emerson where I am a Product Development Engineer. It will never go down and since the time I first saw it, countless people have asked for copies and it constantly reminds me on the importance of communication.
I love the bottom middle frame where the service engineers installed the swing by cutting the tree at the base and placing stilts to prop it up! Unnecessary? Yeah, I would think so as well. In fact, in my line of work, I have seen things like this take place where the most obvious and simple solution to a task or problem get lost in a maze of unneeded complexity.
What does this cartoon mean and why is it so important to me? Simple. It basically reminds me that multiple functions come together to effectively deliver something to a customer whether it is a product or a service. We all play a part in each function but we sometimes lose focus on exactly what it is we are doing and why. If we know these things in detail and see the "big picture" it improves the chances of a successful delivery of either the product or service.
We have all seen and/or worked with that "one function" where it only cares about what it does and couldn't care less why it is doing it and what the end result should be. What does this lead to? Frustration! Because that function perceives the end product or service to be totally different than what was actually requested. This is because there are no working links in the relationship between the functions delivering and receiving the deliverable.
By the way, the basis of this cartoon along with working links are all studied carefully and analyzed through numerous case studies in an excellent course called Organizational Behavior (MBA 870) taught in the summer. In fact, this course has been the most valuable for me thus far because it made me realize that we can all be technical professionals and know our "stuff" inside and out but if we can't communicate and get things done our talent for knowing our "stuff" means nothing.
So the next time you wonder about all the hoops you unnecessarily had to jump through for a customer, maybe it was because you didn't have to because the customer only wanted a simple swing!

In the last post I speculated about the background of my great-great-great-grandfather Robert Bowman (1801 – 1842), whose granddaughter Louisa married my great grandfather Charles Edward Robb. In this post, I'll say more about Robert and his wife, my great-great-great-grandmother Caroline Reed.
Robert Bowman and Caroline Reed were married on 20 January 1828 at St. Mary's church, Whitechapel. Both were said to be living in the parish. Robert signed his name and Caroline inscribed her mark. The witnesses were John Doughty and Charlotte Wylie.
We know from later census records that Caroline was born in 1797 or 1798 in Stepney or Mile End Old Town. Searches for her birth records have thrown up one or two possibilities, the most intriguing of which is the christening of a Caroline Bowman Reed, daughter of William and Rebecca Reed, at St. John of Hackney on 10 March 1799. Is the middle name just a coincidence, or is it possible there was an existing link between the Reed and Bowman families, and that this explains how Caroline came to meet her husband Robert?
I haven't been able to find a definite match for the marriage of William and Rebecca. There are a number of possibilities outside London, but the only candidate in the London area around the right date is the marriage between William Reed and Rebecca Thippin (?) which took place in February 1794 at the church of St. Dunstan in the West. I'm hoping that further research will uncover more details of the Reed family and their possible connection with the Bowmans.
Robert and Caroline Bowman's first child, my great-great-grandfather John, was born on 19 December 1928 and baptised on 11 January 1929 at All Saints church, Poplar. The family's address is given simply as 'Bow'. In my last post I stated that John was the eldest of five children, but I was relying on census records and hadn't checked the International Genealogical Index records at the Family Search website. This has revealed an additional sister Sarah (named after Robert's mother?), who was born on 30 October 1830 at Pleasant Row, described by one source as one of 'a series of rundown and overcrowded courts' in the Jacob's Island district of Bermondsey, and baptised at St. Saviour's church, Southwark, on 21 November.
A third child, Robert, was born at the same address on 7 November 1832 and baptised on 2 December at the same church. Sarah died in 1834 at the age of 3 years 6 months and was buried at St. Saviour's. By this time the family was living in Park Street, not far from Borough Market.
By the time their son Joseph was born in the September of the following year, Robert and Caroline Bowman had moved to Barrowfield Lane, Edmonton. Joseph was christened at All Saints church on 18 October (see previous post).
They had moved again by January 1838, when their daughter Charlotte was born. Her baptismal record at St Botolph without Aldgate states that the Bowmans were living at 8 Harrow Alley, just south of Aldgate High Street. Another daughter, Maria, was born in the following year at the same address and baptised on 18 December at the same church.
The 1841 census finds Robert, Caroline and their five surviving children still in Harrow Alley, but now at No. 4. The census official was rather slapdash with names, using mostly abbreviations and getting some wrong: Charlotte is mistakenly called Caroline, Joseph could be read as James, and Maria becomes Mary. As elsewhere, Robert senior is described simply as a 'labourer'.
Robert died early in the following year in Harrow Alley and was buried on 12 January at St. Botolph's. He was 40 years old. His youngest child Maria died later in the same year, on 7 October, at the age of 3. Her address is given as 'East London Union', which was a workhouse with premises in Aldgate, suggesting that the Bowman family were thrown into poverty on Robert's death.
By the time of the 1851 census, however, Robert's widow Caroline was living at 3 Somerset Court, Aldgate, not far from Harrow Alley, and working as a charwoman. Still living at home were sons John, 22, now working as an umbrella frame maker; Robert, 18, a light porter; and Joseph, 15, an errand boy. Charlotte, 13, was still a 'scholar'.
In November of that year Caroline's eldest son John married Elizabeth Jane Larke at St. Philip's church, Bethnal Green. At some point in the next few years, John's brother Joseph married his first wife Elizabeth.
Their sister Charlotte died early in 1854 at the age of 16. Interestingly, her burial on 22 January is recorded in the register for Wycliffe Congregational Chapel, confirming my suspicion (see my last post) that the Bowmans were Nonconformists. Charlotte's address is given as 3 Somerset Court and the cost of her funeral is said to have been 10s 6d. Wycliffe Chapel was in Philipot Street, between Commercial Road and Whitechapel Road, about 15 minutes' walk from Somerset Court (and a few streets away from Little Alie Street Baptist chapel where my mother's Holdsworth ancestors would have been worshipping at around the same time). It's probably just a coincidence that the minister at Wycliffe at this time was Rev. Andrew Reed.
When the 1861 census was taken, Caroline Bowman, 64, was living at 2 Little Somerset Street, Aldgate, with her unmarried son Robert, 27. She was still working as a charwoman and he as a painter. Ten years later, she can be found living with her son Joseph, his second wife Jesse, and their children, at 1 Crown Place, Mile End Road. She died there four years later, in 1875, at the age of 78.
