Ma Vie en Rose

Pam’s World
 
This film explores the intersections of identity and culture and how one child navigates this interplay with simultaneous naiveté and boldness. His narrative exposes the ways in which the individual and his/her/hir dominant culture are involved in an inherent power play of influence, each giving way, if temporarily, to the pressure of the other.

Captive Bolt I love steak

Captive bolt
 
I love steak. I’ve always loved it. My parents practically put it in a blender and had Gerber slapped on it before I had teeth. My brother never liked it; he thought chewing was overrated.

The Crisis of Unemployment

It can also be seen as a cris of cost and stability. For previous gnerations a person, being smart and capable, could get a job with a company and be put on a payroll and get health benifits and retirment plans.  This is not an easy task these days particularly if you want to do [...]

My Family Crests: Churchill, Sargent, Lawlor, Ely, Putnam, MacInnes

So looking around on the web as my job description entails, I came across several crest/ Shield websites that had several crests representing many of my family surnames.  Have to thankmy elderly relatives for preserving family history in the US at least going back to my Pilgrim ancestors.  I will probably add to this group [...]
