Family History Information
by Trevor Dumbleton
For those who are searching for family history information, there are a wealth of resources available. These resources can extend from living people, to documents, to government records, to letters, to photographs, to heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation. By utilizing these resources, you can find all manner of family history information that may just surprise you.
The first place to look for family history information is with living family members. You family members will be more than happy to tell you their own stories, their own memories, and their own opinions about the events and people who shaped who they are today. As well, there are family members who may have already done their own investigations of family history and they will be more than happy to give that information to someone, such as yourself, who is interested in learning more. Family history information is meant to be shared and anyone who has this information wants to share it.
As well, family members can provide you with old photographs, letters, documents and heirlooms that will give whole new depth and direction to your quest for knowledge. Photographs are often useful for seeing people, where they were, and what they were doing. With a little bit of investigation, a photograph in a place you do not recognize will tell you where they were when that photograph was taken. As well, letters are very useful not only for the information they provide, but addresses and return addresses. Heirlooms are often accompanied by stories and family lore that may not always be entirely true, but are family history information all their own. Not quite true stories are often somewhat true. And the lies people tell are often as telling about those people as the actual truths!
As well, a thorough search of governmental records can provide vast amounts of family history information. These slices of bureaucratic gobbledygook are useful because they are almost always entirely true. A land deed needs to be exact, because it is used to determine possession in a court of law. Governments like to know that their information is rock-solid. And governmental information can quickly be turned into family history information, be it death certificates, birth certificates, or just a few lines from a court case that can provide you with information about one of your ancestors. Even if you do not feel like diving into the morass of government documents that could easily swallow a person whole, there are professionals that you can hire to search through these records and unearth the names, places, and dates that you desire.
If you are looking for family history information, you can search in any number of places. Start with people you know, then work out to people you know a little bit, then extend out into people who you may not know at all, but are willing to talk about your family. With a little bit of effort, you can learn a great deal about who your relations were, who your relations are, and just what made those people tick. And then you can proudly call these people family.

Relationships: Taking Care of Yourself in the Moment
by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
Maria consulted with me because she was frustrated about the distance she felt in her relationship with her husband, Carl. He wanted to be close to her, but she didn’t feel close to him.
“I think the problem is that he often talks to me in a judgmental or condescending way. He sounds like a parent rather than a partner. I just hate being spoken to like that.”
“How do you respond when he speaks to you like that?” I asked.
“I withdraw and feel badly. Then later I sometimes try to talk with him about it, but he doesn’t know what I’m talking about. He thinks I’m too sensitive and that I just want to blame him.”
How often have you had the experience of not knowing what to say in conflict? Later, after thinking about it, you thi

Watering Your Young Child’s Mind
by Emma Rath
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row.
It’s an everyday nursery rhyme, it’s simple to sing with your small child, and apparently this nursery rhyme about a little child watering her garden is watering your little child’s mind!
Early childhood educators have identified pre-reading skills that are necessary for the learning of reading and the mastery of language. They include phonological awareness, or the awareness of speech sounds and rhyme similarities, vocabulary or knowing lots of words, and the more a child loves the enjoyment and pleasure of using language, the more success they will have in reading and writing and academic studies.

Grapes, Nuts, and Your Dogs Health -- Foods that Fido should Avoid
by Carolyn Schweitzer
Your dogs health is important to you. You show her how important by keeping her well fed and groomed, making sure she gets plenty of exercise and providing a collection of fun, safe toys for her entertainment. You don't skimp on the quality of his food. And to reward good boys and girls, there are always lots of delicious treats in the cupboard. But if he has bad breath, you could be overlooking a serious problem with your dogs health. "Dog Breath" is such a common condition that we make jokes about it. Sometimes we even tease our human "friends" using "dog breath" in play-ground style name-calling ( although hopefully this is limited to teenage boys.) And I know many pet owners who comment that they love their dog or cat like a child, but ju Grapes, Nuts, and Your Dogs Health -- Foods that Fido should Avoid
