And more about the Engles. . . and why I love the Welsh
I haven't posted anything lately because I am waiting for a bunch of my biological Engle family death certificates to arrive from the state of Pennsylvania. The copies are only $3.00 each, but the wait time is months & months. They are probably hoping that you'll lost interest and tell them never mind before they get around to making the copies.
Anyway, I have a few mysteries that I hope to solve by receiving these certificates. My 2nd great grandfather, George W. Engle, was born in Pennsylvania. In every census I can find about George W., it states that both his mother and father were born in Germany. I have found a George Engle born in Scranton, Pennsylvania that was the son of Louis and Philipena Engle and the dates match. Louis and Philipena Engle both came to Pennsylvania from Germany. I have sent for George W. Engle's death certificate in hopes that it will list his parents names, as most death certificates do. Louis was a German butcher, oh my.
Another mystery is that my great grandfather's brother Robert was paralyzed. I found this information on the 1910 US Federal census that says "unable to work, is paralyzed". I found a newspaper clipping about a Robert Engle who died in 1914.
I wonder if this is the same Robert Engle, who was paralyzed? The death certificate should show if he belongs to the George W. Engle family and if so, why did he die of exposure? Did someone leave this paralyzed man out in the elements? Like leaving a useless relative on an ice flow? Maybe none of this has any validity, but I am waiting for Robert Engle's death certificate to see if this is the same Robert, as his age fits and he was from Scranton.
I did receive Anna Thomas Engle's death certificate yesterday from a fabulous researcher, Maryann Bacsik, from New Jersey. If you ever need a record from New Jersey, this is the woman you need to contact. New Jersey records are very difficult to obtain because none of them are online. Thank you, Maryann!
Anna Thomas Engle's parents were born in Wales. John J. Thomas came to the United States to find a better life and, voila, ended up back in the coal mines. Bet he said, more than once, just shoot me now. I haven't been able to trace John J & Mary Thomas because John & Mary Thomas from Wales is like . . .John & Mary Smith from the U.S. But, I haven't given up yet.
Another mystery — poor great grandmother Anna tripped on a curb in New Jersey and then dies from pneumonia. She had to have already been sick when she fell (?). To make matters worse, her husband Charles F. Engle, remarries on Oct. 17 of the same year. I realize that men hate to be alone, but from July 13 to October 17 isn't a very long time.
I really don't care if my husband should remarry, if I precede him in death, but I only request that he not bring a date to my funeral.
Back to Anna May Thomas, whose parents were from Wales. I love dark and gloomy Wales. I spent a couple of months (once upon a time) in Wrexham, Wales, which is only about 12 miles from Chester, England (another very favorite city). The Welsh language is fantastic because all of the city names look like if you fell asleep at the computer, and when your head hits the keyboard, it spelled out the Welsh city names.
My favorite singer of all times is Tom Jones. Thanks to my great grandma Anna's genes! Tom was born Thomas John Woodward in Treforest, Pontypridd in South Wales. He father was a coal miner. Once when Gil, my husband, and I were staying in Swansea, Wales, we came down to the breakfast room only to hear Tom Jones' fabulous voice blaring through the speakers. My heart stood still!
I once talked my daughter into patronizing her poor old Mom into attending a Tom Jones concert in Last Vegas. She agreed to attend. But when I threatened to fling my big girl panties towards the stage she said something like, "you are so dead". So I behaved myself and enjoyed Tom as he truly is a fabulous performer.
And by the way, he isn't dead. I just googled "is Tom Jones dead?" and I received the answer, of course not you silly goose! He has been married now for 55 years to Linda. And from the looks of this photo, he isn't packing potatoes or sweat socks into his shorts as some gossip tabloids have alleged.
Tom has finally accepted his senior statemanship. And at the age of 71, and as Sir Tom, he's quietly changed his image from swivel-hipped sex god to elder statesman of pop. He's let his dyed hair grow out to its natural grey, and with matching beard, he looks exactly what he is: a rather cool grandfather and devoted family man.

You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby . . .Not So Fast
Joan Rivers says that when she comes across an ugly baby and can't think of what to say, she comments on how nice the crib is!
Here is some background in case you haven't read my earlier posts. My older brother and I were both adopted from The Willows Maternity Sanitarium in Kansas City, Missouri. We aren't related genetically, but grew up together and are close. As close as two complete recluses can be.
My brother is four years older. After my parents adopted him, they immediately set the wheels in motion to adopt another baby. Single child households were not common back in the late 1940's – early 1950's as these were the baby boom years after WWII.
In order to adopt another child, my older brother was taken to a child psychologist and interviewed. I've copied what the psychologist wrote about him.
And she was dead on about my brother. From an early age, he showed incredible mechanical genius. He was a mad inventor even as a little kid. My brother made rocket fuel in the basement. He created a mechanical witch that popped out of the clothes hamper in the bathroom to scare me when I got up in the middle of the night to pee. And on and on. Mom said that whenever she visited his elementary school unannounced, he was always standing out in the hall being punished for one thing or another. Honestly, he was just bored. A.A. Hyde Elementary School didn't appreciate his aptitude and also didn't know how to handle him with the exception of making him stand in the hall.
In 1951, my parents were given the opportunity to adopt a baby girl (me). One month after my birth, they drove to Kansas City to pick me up. As you can see, I was skinny, very red and hairy. My eyes appeared oversized, much too big for my face.
The state of Missouri has finally changed their laws on Sealed Adoption Records. If both biological parents are dead (and you can prove it), you can petition the Court to receive a copy of your adoption file. (I have written more on this subject in earlier posts)
I finally received a very thick manila envelope of paperwork from the Circuit Court of Jackson County. Inside were pychological evaluations of my parents, letters of reference, copies of receipts, etc.
Of course, I have read through this file several times. I thought I had thoroughly read everything until yesterday when something new caught my eye!
Luckily for me, Mom didn't see me through other people's eyes. If she had known what the home visitor had written, that I was not pretty and not precocious, she would have driven to Kansas City and kicked her in the butt! Once they got us, Mom and Dad were the most loyal parents ever.
Below is copied from a letter that Mom wrote to the social worker in Kansas City. (a copy of her letter was in my big manila evelope)
Her hair is very dark for a tiny baby and her head is beautifully shaped. I have seen pretty babies, but none as pretty as Jan. Now, if we can just teach her all the things that must go with her being so beautiful.
I wish our pictures truly could show you how sweet our baby is, but some day we will be in Kansas City and we will bring her to see you.
Thanks Mom and Dad! R.I.P.
I'm Proud to be a Coal Miner's Great Granddaughter. . .
I've recently been doing a lot of research on the paternal biological side of my family (the Engle side). I haven't found when they arrived or entered the United States, but I have discovered that most of them came from the coal mining region around Scranton (Lackawanna County) Pennsylvania. And many of them were coal miners or worked in some capacity for the mines. And they married coal miner's daughters. A lot of these "in-laws" were miners who came from Wales looking for a better life . . .and ended up working in the mines anyway.
I haven't found the exact documents yet to prove when the Engle family first arrived, but several census documents say that George W. Engle's father was born in Germany.
George W. Engle is my 2nd Great Grandfather, born 1849 in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania
and his son was —
Charles Frederick Engle is my Great Grandfather, born 1874 in Peckville, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania
and his son was —
Charles Frederick Engle, Jr. is my Grandfather, born 1899 in Taylor, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania
and his son was —
my biological father, William Leonard Engle, born 1919 in Montana.
Charles F. Engle, Jr. (grandfather) switched from being a coal miner to being a wildcatter during the oil boom days. And that explains why my father was born in Montana.
R.I.P. Olivette Engle, Born 1901 & Killed in 1922 by Deranged Husband
I don't have a lot of information about my biological father's family, so I have been slowly working backward from my father's records to his father, etc.
It is always surprising when you find an early death or an interesting newspaper article about one of your relatives. Today I found that Olivette Engle, my paternal Great Aunt (sister to my paternal grandfather) was murdered by her 2nd husband Frank Wesley Johnson. And she wasn't divorced from her first husband, Joseph G. Crum.
Olivette Engle was born on 7 Nov 1901 in Scranton, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania to Charles F. Engle & Anna Thomas Engle. She was one of six Engle children. The family moved to Union, Broome County, New York at some point between 1910 and 1920. The 1910 U.S. Federal Census shows them living in Taylor, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. And the 1920 U.S. Federal Census has them living in Union, New York.
A Very Fun Holiday Gift for Anyone — DNA Testing for Genealogy & Family Origins. Come on, you know you are curious!
I've tested my DNA at both http://www.familytreedna.com and at http://www.23andme.com Because I am adopted, I used the Family Finder test at familytreedna to verify my paper trail. I waited until I knew who my biological father was and even until I had talked to his son on the phone. In fact, I never had to bring up the subject. His son told me that a DNA test would prove my theory and said that he would be willing to take one. I ordered the test for him and it proved correctly that we are 1/2 siblings.
But DNA testing can show so much more. It seems like everyone I talk to believes that they have some Native American blood. I thought I did also as I have dark hair and eyes. And my complexion is "olive" or "ruddy". I had to look up the definition of ruddy to make sure I was using it correctly & I am. But I found that my ancestry composition is 99.9% European and .1% East Asian & Native American.
(of a person's face) Having a healthy red color.
At 23andme, it is about finding your relatives, but also about your health & how your genes determine your chances for disease. Under "My Health", 23andme has the following categories — disease risk, carrier status and drug response.
One of the most interesting things I discovered is that 3.1% of my DNA is from Neanderthals. That puts me in the upper 98% percentile. Average Northern Europeans on their site have an average of 2.6% Neanderthal. Being in the upper 2% is like being in an exclusive group like Mensa, only with much more hair. I always wondered why my toes made my feet look like they belonged to a Hobbit. 23andme also sells t-shirts that correspond with the correct Neanderthal percentage.
23andme recently acquired new financing that allows them to permanently lower their test from $290.00 to $99.00. This is an incredible bargain. Their goal is to attract one million new customers this year. That will make matching with relatives so much easier.
I've copied the following from 23andme's Press Release of Dec. 11, 2012.
23andMe Raises More Than $50 Million in New Financing
Company Sets Growth Goal Of One Million Customers, Reduces Price to $99 from $299
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – December 11, 2012 – 23andMe, Inc., the leading personal genetics company, today announced it has raised more than $50 million in a Series D financing. Participants in the financing include Yuri Milner, a new investor, as well as existing investors Sergey Brin, 23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki, New Enterprise Associates, Google Ventures and MPM Capital. This investment will help the company achieve its growth goal of one million customers.
The Power of One Million People
Expanding the company's ability to reach and serve one million individuals supports 23andMe's goal to revolutionize health and wellness. It also will accelerate 23andMe's ability to create a powerful platform that enables researchers around the globe to make meaningful discoveries significantly faster than is currently possible. With this expansion, 23andMe, which currently has more than 180,000 customers, will aim to:
- Enable groundbreaking research by creating an exponentially larger collective of actively engaged, genotyped individuals;
- Help accelerate development of new treatments;
- Improve understanding of wellness and disease prevention; and
- Broaden access for people seeking to manage their health and well-being through direct access and greater understanding of their own genetic data.
"A community of one million actively engaged individuals will be transformational for research. A community of this magnitude will improve researchers' ability to quickly answer questions about genetic function and the role of environmental factors. In addition, it will enable researchers to understand medication efficacy and side effects, in both medications that exist today and medications are that are in development," Wojcicki added.
Broadening Access: Lowering Price to $99
The Series D investment, combined with rapidly decreasing costs associated with genetic testing technologies, enables 23andMe to reduce the price of its Personal Genome Service to $99, effective immediately. The company will continue to evaluate optimal pricing strategies.
The investment also enables 23andMe to expand the necessary infrastructure to support growth in its research and operational capabilities, including product development, genetic research, software development, recruitment and marketing.

Finding a Few Hundred Cousins
Tools that can trace your roots are becoming more advanced—and less expensive
By ANNE TERGESEN
Searching for your roots? Tools that help compare your genetic makeup with others' are getting more sophisticated and more affordable.
In recent decades, DNA tests were mainly used to prove paternity. But since 2000, a handful of companies have commercialized tests that connect a wider array of relatives, sometimes going back centuries to find common ancestors.
As recently as 2007, such tests cost as much as $1,000. Today, they generally run between $100 and $300 and offer users more information. In May, Ancestry.com Inc., a publisher of genealogical records and a site where people can track their family trees, started selling a DNA test that identifies relatives up to and including fifth cousins.
The tests are easy to take: Swab the inside of your cheek or spit into a tube and mail the results to a lab. Two to six weeks later, you can log into an online account for the results. You will generally see your ancestors' regional ties; the migration paths of your ancient ancestors; and people in the company's database (usually identified by a user name) who share some of your DNA. At that point, you typically have the option of contacting those individuals who have agreed to share their results.
Three main types of DNA tests are on the market. Until recently, most focused on DNA in the Y chromosome that's handed down virtually unchanged from father to son. (Because only males have a Y chromosome, women must ask male relatives to take this test for them.)
Kelly Wheaton, 58, recently relied on a so-called Y-DNA test to resolve a genealogical mystery that had frustrated her for years. "I traced my husband's family's history back to 1750, but couldn't get any further," says the Napa Valley, Calif., resident. While Ms. Wheaton had a hunch her husband, Michael, 65, was descended from a Robert Wheaton who came to Salem, Mass., in 1636, it wasn't until Michael took a Y-DNA test in 2011 that she obtained proof.
"His Y-DNA matched people with a perfect paper trail back to Robert Wheaton," she says.
Mystery Solved
CeCe Moore, 43, used another test, of the mitochondrial DNA that mothers transmit virtually unchanged to children, to explore her great-grandmother's Finnish ancestry. "My great-grandmother never told my grandmother anything about her family," says Ms. Moore, of San Clemente, Calif., who writes a blog about genetics and genealogy. After the database linked Ms. Moore to cousins in Finland, she learned why her great-grandmother had cut off ties to her country of origin: She was pregnant out-of-wedlock when she came to the U.S.
Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA can connect people whose common ancestors lived recently or hundreds of years ago. But to find out how closely you are related—and to locate relatives besides those on your direct maternal or paternal lines—you will need an autosomal DNA test.
This relatively new test deciphers the amount of DNA shared between those whose common ancestors lived within the last half-dozen or so generations, says Megan Smolenyak, author of "Hey America, Your Roots Are Showing," which includes information about DNA testing.
In general, the more DNA two people share, the closer their connection.
Test Companies
Among the companies that sell DNA tests for genealogy purposes, FamilyTreeDNA, a division of Gene by Gene Ltd. of Houston, maintains the largest Y-DNA database, populated by 250,000 people. A Mountain View, Calif., company, 23andMe Inc., has the largest autosomal DNA database, with more than 180,000 people. Clients of 23andMe also can get information about their genetic predispositions to more than 200 health conditions.
Ancestry.com of Provo, Utah—in addition to a push into autosomal DNA testing—offers genealogical records and tools to help long-lost relatives link family trees.
And this fall, the nonprofit National Geographic Genographic Project, with more than 500,000 participants, unveiled a technology that maps users' genetic ties to specific regions.

My Favorite Veteran, Raymond F. Page, (aka Daddy Ray), A Proud World War II Marine
My father, Raymond F. Page, was one of the nicest & most honest men I have ever met. He grew up in the oil fields of central Kansas. His father, Fred Page, kept the oil pumps working for their owners and didn't make a lot in return. Ray was born November 8, 1913 in Lincoln County, Kansas to Frederick Copeland Page and Myrtle Revella Shaver Page. He died June 22, 1998 in Wichita, Kansas. Raymond F. Page was my adopted father.
Ray received a full scholarship to attend Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas during the Depression. The scholarship was provided as long as he kept one of their buildings clean. In return, he got to sleep on a cot in the basement. While at Southwestern College he met my mother, Harriett Kelley. Harriett was a Home Economics major who attended college while living at home with her parents. Life was a slightly easier for the Kelleys. Her father (Forrest Aaron Kelley, M.D.) was a physician in Winfield and often received food as payment during the Depression.
Raymond F. Page & Harriett N. Kelley married on June 11, 1939.
From left to right, Fred Page (Ray's father), Robert Kelley (Harriett's brother), Reva Shaver Page (Ray's mother), the minister, Ray Page (the groom) and Harriett Kelley (the bride), Mary Romick Kelley (Harriett's mother), Forrest Kelley (Harriett's father), Nadine Page (Ray's baby sister), Earl Page (Ray's brother), Patricia Kelley (Harriett's sister) & Margaret Kelley (Harriett's sister).
My father was a bit old for World War II. Right before he was to be drafted into the Army, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp in hopes that he might have a better chance of survival. Ray had already graduated with a degree in Business and Accounting from Southwestern College and because of this, he was taken into the Marine Corp. at a higher rank. Luckily for Ray, his main wartime duty was to be a pay officer in Hawaii. The younger men called him "Pops", and he spent his time in Hawaii making sure they all received their pay on time.
I Can't Say Enough Nice Things about the Volunteers at www.findagrave.com
Yesterday I received an email from a Kenneth Schaeffer, a volunteer at http://www.findagrave.com He found my birth mother's gravestone & posted a photo of it on the findagrave site.
Kenneth Schaeffer has added 3,876 memorials to findagrave and has taken 580 volunteer photos in the Pennsylvania area.
What is Find A Grave?
Find a Grave's mission is to find, record and present final disposition information from around the world as a virtual cemetery experience.
If you haven't taken a look at this site, I urge you to do so. It is a great genealogical resource. Plus, if you have photos to add, it will help the future generations with their research. Anyone with a digital camera can check out the photo requests in their area and post a picture.
Thank you Kenneth!
David Shaver
Do You Remember Dottye?
I've been a lot more researching than just looking for records online. I've also sent my DNA to be analyzed at http://www.familytreedna.com and http://www.23andme.com. Both of these sites will match your particular DNA with others & predict how closely you are related.
Familytreedna calls their test "Family Finder" and 23andme calls their test "Relative Finder".
They both use autosomal DNA (inherited from both the mother and father, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, etc.) to provide you a breakdown of your ethnic percentages and connect you with relatives descended from any of your ancestral lines within approximately the last 5 generations.
And, if you wish to share your DNA ancestry with people who haven't tested with either of these companies, you can go to http://www.gedmatch.com and upload your autosomal DNA data in order to compare it with a broader audience.
All of that said — I got a message one day from Wendy saying something to the effect, "Hi, we are related as Distant Cousins." At that time I didn't know as much as I do know about my biological family, so I replied that I was adopted at birth and didn't have a lot to share.
Wendy replied that she was adopted also — and expressed how ironic it was that two adopted people with no knowledge of family background would match! Wendy has a powerful blog — it is about her search for her biological background, adoption and all that she has done to try to uncover her past. The text copied below is from Wendy's blog
I began looking for my birth mother on the day that I turned 18 in Columbus Ohio. When I entered the court I had thought that I would leave with my adoption records in hand. After the clerk laughed at my request she informed me that Ohio is a closed records state, and that I would be leaving with no such file.
It was 14 and a half years later, with the help of Reunite of Ohio Inc. that I was given my first mothers name.
Dottye Moore
The following day I found out that she had died in a car accident in 1973, and I was also given the name of my sister.

A little of this, a little of that
AND THAT - I have my second knitting class tomorrow night and I have been practicing, practicing, practicing! I like knitting better than purling, but I think that I have a good flow down for working with both to make ribbing and it is starting to feel natural. Yahoo! Now, I need to start working with the tension and see where I am most comfortable and then work for consistency. I can't wait for class tomorrow night!
Now, I have to try and find the only thing that my mom ever knitted so that I can take it to class tomorrow night and show it off.

Jill, this quilt will be beautiful. I love it! What a lucky girl that will call this her own!
Your knitting and purling looks great. Yes, knitting has an easier 'flow' to it than purling. You're doing great! Have fun tomorrow night!
be blessed,

What a darling quilt!
I have tried and tried to learn to knit(no one in my family does or ever has as far as I can tell) but I just can't relax enough to do it. I get the yarn on the needle but then can't get it off cause its so tight. Then I swear and put it away.
I think I have about 6 sets of knitting needles in different sizes from different attempts. I am impressed by your quick pick up of the talent.

Good thing we don't live close or I'd have to come steal some of your puppy print fabrics. I'm making a snoopy quilt for my daughter's nursery and I didn't get enough puppy paws and now I can't find them anywhere!!!
That's going to be such a cute quilt. I have to mini weiner grandpuppies.

The writings of both Dr Gwee Li Sui and Ms Chang Li Lin have underplayed the proficiency many Singaporeans have in English ("PM's press secretary rebuts NYT op-ed on Singlish"; Tuesday).
That most Singaporeans retain an Asian language as a mother tongue does not in any way limit their mastery of the English language.
On the contrary, more Singaporeans are more proficient in English than in their Asian mother tongue, with some far surpassing even the so-called native speakers of English.
It is our first language in education and in the workplace, and the most common language spoken in Singapore homes ("English most common home language, bilingualism also up"; March 10).
Yet, Singaporeans wishing to pursue university education in the United States are still required to sit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (Toefl), as American universities think Singaporean students are non-proficient in English.
In many language schools operating in Singapore, to be an English language instructor, one has to be a native speaker, thereby disqualifying Singaporeans.
These practices are anachronistic legacies from an earlier era.
Every English-speaking country has its own vernacular sub-language.
Instead of arguing about the role of Singlish, Singapore should strive against discriminatory practices faced by Singaporeans in pursuit of education and work.
First, the Singapore Government should ban language schools in Singapore from discriminatory hiring practices against Singaporeans as English language instructors.
Second, the Government should work to persuade the United States authorities not to require Singapore students to submit Toefl scores when applying to study there.

The most common types of dental negligence cases are known as Injury claims. This is when a dental professional causes harm to a patient, often through procedures that they perform poorly, through their incompetence or because of a failure to diagnose, or the misdiagnosis of a condition.
See if you have a case for dental negligence
Common types of dental injury resulting from dental negligence
The injuries caused by dental negligence can take many forms, but all have a negative impact on the life of the victim to some degree. They may experience significant pain, inconvenience, require significant and costly further treatment or suffer the loss of teeth. Sometimes the damage caused by a dentist is permanent and cannot be remedied by further dental work.
Some of the most common types of dental injury include:
- A serious infection caused by the dentist using unsafe practices or equipment
- Dental nerve damage, causing long-term or permanent pain, numbness or lost sensation in the mouth, lips or face
- Improper use of a tool or equipment, which causes trauma to the teeth, jaw or mouth of the patient

Part I: A mind like a steel trap
There's a new kid in town. Dengaroo is here, and s/he really, really, nearly, nearly won the US X Wing Nationals. Two things to this – what is Dengaroo, and second, I'll look at the final of the US nationals to how it can work in action. First off, I'll look at Dengaroo, which has not featured in the Euro meta to any great extent to date.
Jeff Berling is the first player to bring to prominence a list that's been floating around for a while now. He's no fool, having made the final last year, as Nova Squadron reported. He runs it as follows:
Dengar + Punishing One + Lone Wolf + R5-P8 + Glitterstim + Plasma Torpedoes + Zuckuss + Counter-Measures
Manaroo + Feedback Array + Push the Limit + Unhinged Astromech + Engine Upgrade + Recon Specialist
99 Points
There are multiple synchronicities in this list that make it very efficient and able to dance through the present meta. But he didn't win the final, right? And there's a good reason that I'll look at in Part II.
Early on in the final of US Nationals. More of those in Part II
The list works, in crude terms, by ensuring Dengar survives a long time by maxing out the efficiency of his dice whilst at the same time removing threats by ensuring that he can throw out hugely powerful shots. Experienced players will spot how good it is, and curse themselves for not thinking of how good it was themselves. For those like me, who still didn't fully get it even after playing it (I know, I know) it goes like this.
Manaroo will usually choose to play a very limited role in the game. Her job is to run, run, run, fitting her role as one of Jabba's former dancers. With Push the Limit allowing her to Boost and Barrel Roll, she can, in effect, make what would be a forward 9 move for a small ship (4 standard, barrel roll forward one more, a boost for one more and 2 for the extra length that his large base provides). And the Unhinged Mech lets her lose the accumulated stress (She's hanging with Dengar – she could probably use a nice spa weekend with the girls rather than a nutty robot, but who knows what makes a relationship tick). Her real job is to pass focus to Dengar, hence the Recon Specialist, so she can use the boost or barrel to set up her escape, whilst still taking focus actions. Feedback Array is a nice tool against Aces, and we'll see, is not a thing to be dropped.
To be honest, I'd just buy him another pint, if I were you, mate. It's not worth it.
Dengar's build is complex, but not subtle. He's staying away from Manaroo in order to re-roll one of his blanks via Lone Wolf, hoping for a hit or an evade, but if not, using one of the focus tokens Manaroo has dropped on him to turn his focus into a successful result. In a bad turn, Dengar might be making multiple rolls – and the odds of needing a focus token on a 2 dice defensive roll are a little over evens – so any turn he's facing 3+ attacks that might be expected to be a problem, as he runs out of tokens. So, for that turn, there's Glitterstim. Ideal for that one turn when he's taking multiple incoming shots, but wants to use his Dengar double tap ability.
But 2 green dice… meh. Rebel pilots across the galaxy will explain why that won't do it, or at least won't do it for long. So, again for the one special turn, there is the real genius of the list: Countermeasures . Who's ever even heard of it, let alone played it? For one turn it adds a green dice to Dengar. Good luck swarms. Good luck triple jumps, that need good luck or plasma torps to even get 2 damage through. And if Omega Leader is floating about, it knackers him too, removing the Target Lock.
Offensively, it's a no brainer to take the expensive 12 point title giving him a third or fourth attack dice. There is a 75% chance of 3 hits on four dice, and a whopping 63% chance of 4 hits at range 1. When those dice play the percentages, Zuckuss is a beast against 3 green dice ships. He can force re-roll after re-roll of the green dice. And he never cares about the resulting stress, because the actions are being handled by Mrs Dengar, Manaroo.
Yes! It's in the fluff! This list is themey, nerdling friends!
But those characters with 4 dice… AWings at range 3, Soontir, all kinds of phantoms. There's an answer for that too: R5P8 For every shot those aces take at Dengar, there's a 50% chance of being hit back with an additional 12.5% chance of Dengar being hit too. Statistically, Soontir shouldn't be shooting Dengar more than 6 times in a game.
All of that, and he's rocking a 3 point plasma torp, to boost damage output against the big fat shielded ships like Dash, Ghost and the Falcon.
Oh. and if you shoot him while you're in his arc, once per turn he can take a punt back. Probably with focus too. Nice.
This is a thing and it's not surprise to see it reach the final of US Nationals, especially with as skilled a pilot as Jeff Berling behind it. But it's far from a perfect build, as we'll look at in Part II.

Bassi, A.M., Ledda, S., De Pascale, M.C., Penco, S., Rossi, S., Odetti, P. and Cottalasso, D. 2005. Antioxidant status in J774A.1 macrophage cell line during chronic exposure to glycated serum. Biochemistry and Cell Biology. 83 (2), pp. 176-87. doi:10.1139/o05-024
|Antioxidant status in J774A.1 macrophage cell line during chronic exposure to glycated serum
|Bassi, A.M., Ledda, S., De Pascale, M.C., Penco, S., Rossi, S., Odetti, P. and Cottalasso, D.
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are linked to aging and correlated diseases. The aim of present study was to evaluate oxidative stress related parameters in J774A.1 murine macrophage cells during chronic exposure to a subtoxic concentration of AGE (5% ribose-glycated serum (GS)) and subsequently for 48 h to a higher dose (10% GS). No effects on cell viability were evident in either experimental condition. During chronic treatment, glycative markers (free and bound pentosidine) increased significantly in intra- and extracellular environments, but the production and release of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs), as an index of lipid peroxidation, underwent a time-dependent decrease. Exposure to 10% GS evidenced that glycative markers rose further, while TBARs elicited a cellular defence against oxidative stress. Nonadapted cultures showed an accumulation of AGEs, a marked oxidative stress, and a loss of viability. During 10% GS exposure, reduced glutathione levels in adapted cultures remained constant, as did the oxidized glutathione to reduced glutathione ratio, while nonadapted cells showed a markedly increased redox ratio. A constant increase of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) mRNA was observed in all experimental conditions. On the contrary, HSP70 expression became undetectable for a longer exposure time; this could be due to the direct involvement of HSP70 in the refolding of damaged proteins. Our findings suggest an adaptive response of macrophages to subtoxic doses of AGE, which could constitute an important factor in the spread of damage to other cellular types during aging.Key words: in vitro cytotoxicity, AGE, pentosidine, glycoxidation, oxidative stress, TBARs.

Sunday we tried to use it for the first time, and it was hilarious. I really had my doubts that it would work, and they were confirmed. At least the easy bake actually works, giving us teeny tiny little snacks - but it works;-)
Grey took a bath on Sunday morning, and spent the entire day at church, or napping. I bathed him again on Monday night. When I drained the tub, this dirt was left. HOW do kids (boys) get so dirty in 1 day?! I'll never know.

One time I mistakenly used flour instead of powered sugar too coat them,they were terrible.
I received a package in the mail the other day. A box of Kinklings and King syrup from my relatives in Maryland. They have a KINKLING making party every Feb-March.
The temps here have been in the low 80's for a few days so they were nice and warm when I opened my mailbox 🙂
I immediately made coffee and settled down for a snack.
The sticky King syrup ran down my chin and I just continued indulging over the sink.
They were so good.I have a few left,they do not last long in my kitchen.
Recipe for Kinklings
My Grandmother's Recipe
1 cup sugar
4 lbs flour (16 cups)
1 qt. milk (scalded and cooled)
4 eggs, well beaten
8 tbsp shortening or lard
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (optional)
2 cakes yeast
Soften yeast in water and add 1 tsp. Sugar to milk, stir. Stir in yeast. Cover and let rise in warm place till doubled. Stir in eggs, butter, remaining sugar, salt, nutmeg and enough flour so mixture can no longer be stirred with a spoon. Cover and let rise till double. Punch down dough and divide in 2 portions. On a floured board roll out to 1/2″ thickness, cut with doughnut cutter (or large glass), place on trays and let rise till doubled. Fry in deep fat until brown, turn to brown other side. Drain on paper towels. Makes about 4 dozen.

You'll have plenty of downtime during this crazy weekend. A lot of it will probably be spent hanging out, exploring and walking the streets of Charleston. Just in case we have a few fun things planned for you that you are invited to. Remember to pace yourself. It's a marathon not a sprint.
Friday Night Party
When: Friday May 24th
Time: 7 to 10 pm
Where: College Lodge First Floor Louge
What: BYOB and bring a sides, chips or dessert to share if you wish. The Council will provide some munchies as well. Continue our annual tradition of The Abominable Hootenanny so bring your guitar, uke, harmonica, etc.. Drop your bags and come hang with your band mates as we kick off our Spoleto weekend. We'll be hanging out in the courtyard playing guitar, singing, making last minute costume adjustments, painting toenails…No one parties like an Abominable parties.
Still up for an adventure? Join the after party at Tommy Condons (160 Church St, Charleston, SC 29401). Charleston! We're here!
Beach Trip!
You spoke. We listened. We're trying something new. This year's beach outing will be at Folly Beach County Park!
When: Sunday, May 26th
Time: Several hours after the Patriotic Gig
Where: Folly Beach County Park,
1100 W Ashley Ave, Folly Beach, SC 29439
What: Bring a blanket and/or chair, picnic snacks, tunes, and your favorite beach gear! It can be windy so bring warm clothes, especially if you plan to stay until dark. Mother nature provides the primary bathroom facility, so plan accordingly. Warning: Alcohol is not allowed on the beach (steep fine)! No glass on the beach, either, please.
Directions to the Beach from WP Lot (Warren Street between St. Philip and King Streets)
Note that using this part of the beach will be much quieter, but we are also outside the lifeguard zone and the beach chair/umbrella concession zone. This part of the beach is closest to a blue porta-potty. There is a nicer bath trailer with AC and outdoor shower platforms/changing nearer the pavilion.
Wheelchair access: The mat to the beach is at the first access past the bathroom trailer; two beach wheelchairs are on site, no reservation – first come first served. To reserve a beach wheelchair in advance, call Folly City Hall at 843-588-2447. If you need a lift in a John Deere out to the beach, go to the manager on duty at the office trailer and they will be glad to take you out. (Tell them Charlie says so if they question it.) The John Deere option may be better for mobility issues since we are setting up pretty far from the mat to the beach.
Safety note for all the barrier islands: if you walk near the end/inlet, where the tide flows in and out, you should not go in the water. There is a high drowning risk because of the tidal flow.
If you prefer to stick with tradition and go to Sullivan's Island, here's the info for you:
Where: Sullivan's Island (2210 Middle Street Sullivan's Island, SC 29482)
What: Bring a blanket, picnic snacks, tunes, and your favorite beach gear! It can be windy so bring warm clothes, especially if you plan to stay until dark. Mother nature provides the primary bathroom facility, so plan accordingly. Warning: Alcohol is not allowed on the beach (steep fine)!
Directions to the Beach
Sunday Night Party
When: Sunday May 26h
Time: 8 to 11 pm
Where: College of Charleston Courtyard
What: Don't spend your last night packing! Join the party in the courtyard for a singalong and wind down with the band before the season finally ends. We know you don't really want to take home the drinks you have left over. The Council will be providing munchies and cake. Celebrate with us!
Thanks to Laura Willard, we have lots of suggestions if you are ballin' on a budget this weekend in Charleston. Check out Laura's suggestions here.

Carson Block balks at supporting shorts on Canadian housing and Home Capital
The short seller who took down Sino-Forest isn't rallying behind his peers who have set their targets on Canada's real estate market.
"Obviously there are a lot of people who are short sellers who think that there is a bubble in Canadian housing," said Muddy Waters Research Founder Carson Block in an interview with BNN. "Some of the business development companies and banks are occasionally mentioned to me; nothing that we found to be something that is really interesting to us."
Block pointed out Muddy Waters doesn't do fundamental shorts; instead, the research firm is on the lookout for corporate "wrongdoing or misleading."
He acknowledged Home Capital Group was brought to his attention; but he's not prepared to join the short attack against the alternative mortgage lender.
"I've talked with people who are short it once they've been very public about it. Obviously, a short seller who lives in the Bay Area named Marc Cohodes has been very vocal over the years on it. But it's not something that we ever got interested in."
Block rose to fame in Canada in mid-2011 with his fraud allegations against Sino-Forest. His short thesis sent the forestry company's stock into a spiral, and eventually led the company to file for protection from creditors.
He told BNN "things in Canada pop up" periodically, but he doesn't currently have any short targets in this country. However, he argued there's a structural failing in Canada that leaves it vulnerable.
"With Canada, one of the things that could be contributing to short sellers' increased interest, if that is in fact the case, is the provincial regulatory system. ... I think the Ontario Securities Commission did a fantastic job with Sino-Forest. But I do think it's challenging for provincial regulators. It's more challenging when you have several different regulators, as opposed to one single well-funded regulator that looks after the entire market."
"I think that's something that is conducive to more bad behaviour on the part of public companies," he added.

Brooke Fraser releases debut UK single, 'Something in the Water'
aaamusic | On 01, Feb 2011
Platinum-selling New Zealander Brooke Fraser will release her debut UK single 'Something In The Water' on 28 March, followed by the release of her debut UK album, 'Flags' on 11 April. Having sold out London's Scala in late 2010, Fraser has also announced a headline tour of the UK and Ireland, including two London shows – the Union Chapel on 31 March and the Cadogan Hall on 13 April – in support of the album.
31 March Union Chapel London
09 April Sugar Club Dublin
11 April Oran Mor Scotland
12 April Glee Club Birmingham
13 April Cadogan Hall London
A self-taught singer and songwriter from an early age, Brooke Fraser signed to Sony when she was eighteen, and released her first album in New Zealand in 2002. It debuted at number one, stayed in her native top ten for a year, and eventually went eight times platinum: an astonishing feat for an artist so young. Fraser went on to support the likes of David Bowie and John Mayer, before penning her second album, 'Albertine'. This saw her success expand to America, where she toured extensively, entered the Billboard Top 100 chart and climbed to number five on the digital retailers' US album chart.
Still aged just 26, Brooke Fraser has made her third album in 'Flags', but it's the first that she's releasing in the UK. It is very much the synthesis of the sounds and stories that got her to this point. Fraser grew up in what she describes as a "less than affluent" part of Wellington, largely indifferent to the influx of musical imports from the rest of the world (Steps, S Club 7, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony etc). Her home, however, was filled with seminal records by the likes of Carole King, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Van Morrison. Unfortunately, her brother broke the vinyl player, so she grew up with them only in the visual sense. The revelatory moment came one afternoon when her friend's mum was driving them to netball practice: James Taylor came on the radio, and Brooke suddenly put two and two together. It kickstarted an obsession with classic singers and songwriters that would feed into the music that she makes to this day.
'Flags' is a contemporary and often-atmospheric take on the Laurel Canyon records Brooke loves, and was in fact written in Los Angeles, the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina and Northern California's Bodega Bay. It's all there in 'Something In The Water', an instantly-appealing and breezily upbeat number that is to become her first UK single. Elsewhere on the record, 'Betty' is about a cool, unapproachable girl who hides her Canadian-shaped birthmark (a thinly veiled metaphor for all the other things she is afraid to show people), while 'Ice On Her Lashes' is a meditation on the cycle of grief. The record's gorgeous title track, meanwhile, finds Brooke at her most philosophical. "I was traversing these incredible landscapes," she explains, "and wondering about all the people who had come to arrive in and then leave these places. One day this image of a flag popped into my mind. It seemed that our lives were like flags: a stake in the ground, marking our territory, but eventually our flag will wear out and return to the ground and someone else's flag will replace our own."
Brooke Fraser is a bright and contemplative young artist, balancing delicate, dreamy pop melodies with a clear love of storytelling. She's also used her considerable success as a platform for various charitable projects that she is passionate about. In 2005, she took a trip to Rwanda, 11 years after a genocide that claimed the lives of nearly one million people. During the journey, she met and befriended a number of Rwandans who she went on to sponsor, including an orphan named Albertine (the namesake of her second album) and went on to partner with World Vision in sponsoring children and water projects in the region. For 'Something In The Water', she is aligning herself with a New York organisation called Charity Water, who have set out a rigorous plan to get clean water to everyone in the world within 40 years. Impressively, they have raised over 25 million dollars in four years, and will be bolstered by Brooke's 'Birthday' scheme, (where fans are invited to leave money rather than giving presents) which to date has already raised in excess of $50,000.

Today we'll take a look at a renovation of a home that has turned the idea of a home office on its head! The original house dates back to 1952. It was a prefabricated modular design that today has a sleek and industrial look.
The home was in bad shape and it had to get a complete renovation and reconstruction. They stripped the exterior walls to the steel sheet underneath. It gives the home a slight industrial edge. They installed new walls and replaced an aging shingle roof with tiles. The original kitchen, wood floors, closets, and staircases were all restored.
Finally the architects built an extension behind the house. At the end of our tour, we will take a look at the modern office and meeting room in the cube shaped extension. Let's take a look at the house now!
Let's start our tour at the charming back of this house. The corrugated steel exterior looks elegant paired with the painted teal shutters. The gabled roof of the home gives it a classic shape that will be attractive for years to come. A couple of loungers and a sprinkling of plants make it a relaxing spot to take in the sun. One of the best features of the home extension is this new spacious rooftop terrace on top of the office. Let's take a look at the redone interiors before we check out the home office extension.
Underneath that pitched roof design is this gorgeous minimalist bedroom. The sun coming in from the skylights makes the glossy original wood floors shine. They are a warm feature of the home. We love how the knots of the wood pepper the floor in a one of a kind pattern. White walls create a bright room that's magnified by the bedspread and simple furniture.
The original kitchen has sunny yellow cabinets. It's a cheerful small kitchen that will put you in a good mood each morning. A large window and a gas stove are perfect additions. For a kitchen that dates back to the fifties it has aged well! The renovation has freshened up the vintage kitchen. White counter tops reflect the natural light that comes inside. Imagine making your morning coffee in this pleasant kitchen.
There's a spacious and fun children's room in this family home. We love the work desk where, hopefully, some homework will get done. Children's rooms with a neutral palette like this are great because kids tastes change as they grow up. Better to have a clean design that they can customize as they like. This room has curtains and lanterns to bring whimsy and colour to the design.
A look from the back of the lot shows off the new extension on the house. The architects decided to build a trenched extension. The hope was that they could preserve the appearance of the main house. The newly added cube extends from the basement level of the main house. Thanks to the slope of the terrain, the extension offers generous views of the garden. The modern wood exterior is made up of thin larch planks. A bank of windows lets light into the work space while the garden level views of the greenery will inspire.
Inside there is a meeting room that's separated by a half wall of shelving. A modest table and chair set makes up the casual meeting space. In this office, the modern furniture and open spaces is conducive to a good work environment. There is a separate entrance to the office that's accessible from the courtyard. It's a good way to create a work/life separation!
Our final view of the house is a look at the professional office space in the new extension. The garden view is verdant and inspiring. Oversized work desks mean that it's hard to have a cluttered work area. It provides plenty of space to organize your ideas. We love the circular light fixtures! So much better than the fluorescents at some offices.
We hope you enjoyed this tour of a renovated home with its new office extension! Check out our feature on 5 home extensions that blend old and new for more inspiration.

I don't know the history of OTCA and Ozformers, so I apologise if I'm stepping on toes or digging up old wounds.
However is there any reason why it isn't www.ozformers.com/boards instead of www.otca.com.au/boards ?
I mean, it looks like the ozformers site is owned by the same owners as otca but ozformers is way easier to remember and what people refer to this forum as and I'll be honest, to get here, I always google "ozformers" to click the link to get here. TFW reports on it as Ozformers and Ozformers is in the banner across the top.
it's a simple fix and both url's can point to the same location/resource.
Also, on the Ozformers website, this doesn't work:
Australian Messageboards:
Ozformers Transformers Collectors Australia
Nor does:
New Zealand Messageboard:

Food for thought.

Japanese Inspired Shower Curtains - Lifestyles have changed now and people are quite aware of styles and the plan of shower curtain poles.
The shower curtain rods may get a terrific effect how you feel while taking shower in bathroom. While the design of bathroom cans dampen trendy poles make bathrooms look really cool. Nevertheless, you have to be sure the colour and layout you are selecting for your own shower curtain poles fit tiles and your bathroom walls utilized in bathroom flooring.
The selection of pole will also be dependent on the sort of curtain you wish to hang. In the event you are intending to hang dark coloured drapes, then choose metallic shower curtain poles with knobs that are curved. Use rectangular shower curtain poles, if you're intending to cover your shower space from four sides. Use curved shower curtain rods which will fit built-in many other shower units and bath units. You can even use crescent shower curtain rods that may fit your bath opening. There is also another kind of shower curtain poles, which are called shower enlarger pole. This pole can be used by you when you demand enlarging the shower space in your bathroom.
Shower curtains come in shape and different size, so far as the pole width is concerned. You must choose one that will fit your bathroom design structure and shower space. Nevertheless, since shower curtains usually are lightweight drapes, light metal poles are perfect to hang the drapes. So far as the amount of the rod is concerned, it will depend on your own bathroom height. The shower curtain poles should be permanent and long lasting because these poles need certainly to withstand daily use.

J was disgusted to see a couple behaving intimately at Jurong East Library yesterday 18 January 2015.
In the photo, the young woman was seen sitting on the guy, who has his hands under her shirt.
According to the J, he was massaging her under the shirt.
J said:
"They were sitting in a weird position and behaving weirdly.
"I was disgusted!"
Do you think J should have told off the couple? Or should J just mind his own business and let others do whatever they want?

Swift's new single isn't worth the drama
October 10, 2017
After weeks of anticipation waiting for the first single off of Taylor Swift's new era, "Look What You Made Me Do" ("LWYMMD") arrived with rants and raves from listeners on all platforms. The single was released Aug. 24 and is the sixth track on Swift's new upcoming album, "reputation."
Leading up to the release of her new song, all of Swift's social media posts were deleted. Her first posts after her return to Instagram was short clips of a snake. Could the snake symbolize Swift's "shedding" of her former sound and style? Maybe. But is "LWYMMD" that good to have been introduced in such an overly-dramatic way? Not really.
The song itself starts off with a pretty basic beat. At the beginning of the song, Swift's voice comes in with a deeper tone than usual which really surprised me because I am used to her high-pitched voice in her other music, and I don't think the change suits her. Further into it, a clapping piece comes in, followed by a more steady clapping sound that continues throughout the rest of the song. These effects felt unoriginal and overused. Not to mention, on iTunes, the single is categorized as "pop," but I feel like it could have also been even put into a hip-hop category due to its beat and fast tempo. But why make this comeback with a new genre of music? Why not stick to what has worked for her in the past?
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because she's dead!"
This very popular line from the new single completely sums up Swift's comeback. This song seems to reveal a darker, deeper side of Swift with lyrics that, despite being overemotional, are really put together and flow pretty well. I know I would rather listen to a more upbeat song such as "Shake It Off" rather than a song about revenge. An upbeat song just puts me in a better mood and hearing a song about revenge pretty much does the opposite.
Other catchy and popular lines off the single seem to hint at her attempt to "rise" back to the top. A few verses into the song Swift is heard saying,
"Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time."
Is this referring to rising to the top of the charts? Will her upcoming album be good enough to reach the top of the charts like her others did?
I believe that Swift's change of tune was fueled by the VMA incident with Kanye West in 2009 and the situation with Kim Kardashian last year. In other words, I don't think it's a coincidence that "LWYMMD" was released around the time of this year's VMAs. Since the 2009 incident, Swift has been known as the artist from which West stole the spotlight, which is perhaps a clue to why her new album is titled "reputation." It could be that Swift wants a new reputation and to be known as an icon that made a great comeback with even greater music.
Swift's new sound is by far the most dramatic it's ever been (although not as dramatic as the music video for "LWYMMD" that was debuted at this year's VMAs). Still, I really think Swift had the potential to have created or released a better single, especially since this comeback song received so much attention from everyone around the world. Personally, this song was just a bit too dark for my taste.
Vulture's Frank Guan said it best "She claims to have gotten harder, but only comes off as brittle; she says that defeat made her smarter, but sounds if she's endlessly smarting."

SPACE is proud to announce that two students from Amity International School, Saket in India V. Sandhu & S. Sharma have made the preliminary asteroid discovery TOV6EC during All India Asteroid Search Campaign conducted by SPACE in collaboration with IASC in May 2012.
Please note, preliminary discoveries must be observed a second time, usually within 7-10 days. If that happens, only then the Minor Planet Center (Harvard) redesignates them as provisional discoveries.
Lets wait and hope this Discovery results in a Provisional Discovery.
Congratulations on their hard work and dedication from SPACE!
SPACE Foundation in collaboration with American Center is organizing a one-day camp based on astronomy and space science on 24th June. The camp will include various hands-on science activities which would instill scientific temperament among the kids.

June 21st marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and is called the summer solstice. In 2011, the solstice occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on June 21, at 17:16 UT (22:46 IST). It is the longest day for people living in the northern hemisphere. For example in New Delhi, sunrise on summer solstice day in 2011 was at 5:24 am and sunset will be at 7:22 pm making it a day which is almost 14 hours duration.
SPACE Foundation celebrated this day as Solar Fest at Jantar Mantar by conducting public outreach and by performing various activities.
SPACE had stationed pin-hole cameras and ball projectors for the people to watch the sun. Kids were quite excited to see the sun through solar view goggles. People took turns to watch the sun through these special goggles which don't harm the eyes. Students from IIIT associated with SPACE Foundation, performed a skit (Nukkad Natak) to make them aware about the significance of the sun and summer solstice day. The skit also contained parts to help remove the myths and superstitions related to the sun and eclipses.

On average in the United States, norovirus annually causes 19 million to 21 million cases of acute gastroenteritis, meaning inflammation of the stomach or intestines or both, according to the CDC. This year, norovirus outbreaks reported to the CDC appear to be "pretty much on par with previous years," Hall said. Thanksgiving is typically the unofficial start of the season, with another uptick near the holidays at the end of December.
"So far, we're seeing essentially the same viruses in circulation as we saw during last season," he said, with no indication of new or especially virulent strains. But it's still early. Data from the last several years show that outbreaks probably will spike between February and March.
All states report norovirus outbreaks to the CDC, but agency officials also rely on a surveillance system that gets faster real-time assessments. Any outbreak reported to nine state health departments across the country is reported to the CDC within seven days.

Caring for Parents This World Health Day
With expatriate postings, borderless teams and virtual collaborations becoming the norm, more and more Indians are exploring opportunities in other cities and countries. New experiences, new cultures and new communities are being embraced more than ever before, but the migratory wave that has presented itself has an indelible link to familial ties. Unlike earlier times, children moving to other parts of India or overseas now means that many elderly parents are left on their own, with little or no access to superlative healthcare.
A Look at Healthcare for the Elderly
By and large, the Indian healthcare sector is a fragmented mosaic that poses challenges to even the most seasoned patrons. A report published by State of Elderly in India in 2014 found that although India will be the youngest country by 2020, with a median age of 29 years, the proportion of elderly people will grow not long after. Likewise, a 2015 report by HelpAge India suggests that the elderly will compose 20% of the Indian population by 2050. Without reasonable socioeconomic policies, chances are, the demand for high-quality medical care will dwarf the healthcare ecosystem. With ballooning healthcare needs, there is a focused spotlight on making healthcare for the elderly more accessible.
Becoming a Virtual Caregiver
It is natural to feel burdened by guilt when you live halfway across the world from your ageing parents. Little things like lending a hand during a hospital visit or serving as a chaperone for a routine check-up become impossible tasks that you're often forced to delegate to other family members. This is the thought that lent to the genesis of OurHealthMate's virtual healthcare management suite. The program was designed with an endeavor to empower children living in distant cities, to manage their parents' healthcare needs virtually. Encapsulating tailored check-ups, personalized health trends and care-at-home services, the program curates a monthly dashboard that provides virtual caregivers with a snapshot of the previous month. As a first-of-its-kind service in India, OurHealthMate has seen rapid traction, and carved a veritable niche in the virtual healthcare management space. And for good reason. If you're teetering on the cusp of becoming a virtual caregiver, here are four reasons you should take the leap.
- Peace of Mind
Managing your parents' healthcare needs virtually can give you much-needed peace of mind and keep you posted on their progress at all times. By being a virtual caregiver, you can be present in spirit. You can also make decisions mindfully, after careful consideration of up-to-date medical metrics.
- Curated Dashboards
OurHealthMate funnels every report, test and scan into a comprehensive dashboard that can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. A dashboard that allows you a month-on-month overview can be invaluable in considering treatment options in the long run.
- Lower Local Dependency
It can be exhausting to always have to depend on local support within the city to help out with your parents' health-related appointments. Managing healthcare needs remotely allows you to reign in your dependency and only lean on your support network in the event of an emergency.
- Preemptive Trends
With the luxury of care-at-home check-ups, it's easy to maintain a medical track record that can help preempt diseases and conditions in the future. High blood sugar, for instance, is sometimes a precursor to diabetes, so tracing it in advance can prepare you for the necessary steps ahead.
With OurHealthMate, you can break geographical boundaries and provide access to world-class care to your parents, all in the comfort of their home. Seek the best of both worlds by being a virtual caregiver.

Glad to see you got some great images during the Catskills Photo Weekend. They are all wonderful but I think my favorite it the 3rd one down, shot at Olana. Where was the rocky mountaintop shot? I assume you got that on Sunday when you went out on your own.

@ Denise: Yeah I got a few good shots. :-)
Laura knew of this place called the Mohonk Mountain House, exit 18 on the NY Thruway. Despite calling ahead to confirm we could hike the grounds, we were turned away. So we wound up at the Mohonk Mountain Preserve, and that's were we got the rocky mountain top shot.

@ Laura: Thanks. I've been unable to find a name for that mountain. I've tracked the range it's in to the Shawangunk Mountains, affectionately known as the "Gunks", but I've had no luck after that.
@ Bill: Thanks, I'm glad yo like them.
